Dusky shrews are one of the most common members of the genus Sorex in North America. They can be found from northern Alaska to New Mexico and from the Pacific coast to central Manitoba (Smith & Belk, 1996). They also inhabit the Rocky Mountains, Blue Mountains, and the Sierra Nevada. In addition dusky shrews can be found on Vancouver Island and Queen Charlotte Island (Willson & Ruff, 1999).

Global Range: Alaska to southern California, east to western Manitoba, Montana, Wyoming, Colorado, New Mexico (not south-central), Chihuahua, and Durango; many populations exist on relatively isolated mountain ranges in the southern half of the range ( Hutterer, in Wilson and Reeder 1993; Smith and Belk 1996). See Alexander (1996) for information on distributions of subspecies.
Physical Description
Sorex monticolus are small, long tailed shrews. Total length varies between 103 and 142mm, and tail length between 40-62mm (Smith & Belk, 1996). In summer shrews are brownish dorsally with silvery white or gray ventral pelage (Willson & Ruff, 1999). In September or October the pelage becomes darker and thicker. In general molting occurs twice per year and starts from the rump and nose and spreads out, finishing between the ears. The timing of molt differs between sexes, around March for females and May for males (Smith & Belk, 1999). The tail is indistinctly bicolored. Musk glands on the flanks are visible in breeding males and 30% of breeding females. There is no significant sexual dimorphism (Willson & Ruff, 1999).
Dusky shrews have one incisor with two cusps, five unicuspids and four molars in the upper jaw. There is one incisor, two unicuspids and three molars in the lower jaw (Smith & Belk, 1996). Dental formula: 3/1, 1/1, 3/1, 3/3=32 teeth (Forsyth, 1985).
Range mass: 5.9 to 7.2 g.
Average mass: 5.5 g.
Other Physical Features: endothermic ; bilateral symmetry
Length: 13 cm
Size in North America
Average: 119 mm
Range: 95-139 mm
Range: 4.4-10.2 g
Diagnostic Description
See Carraway (1995) for a key to western North American soricids based primarily on dentaries.
Dusky shrews occupy a wide range of habitats including tundra, alpine meadows, forests, and prairies (Forsyth, 1985). The main component of suitable microhabitat is dense ground cover, which may aid in predator avoidance. Shrews are often found in forest floor litter and almost never burrow (Smith & Belk, 1996). Habitats with high quantities of coarse woody debris lead to higher reproductive rates in Sorex monticolus (Lee, 1995). They are closely associated with riparian zones and studies show that most shrews can be found within 100 meters of streams or rivers (Smith & Belk, 1996). Shrews prefer habitats with acidic soils and nearby coniferous forest (Forsyth, 1985).
Terrestrial Biomes: tundra ; forest ; mountains
Habitat and Ecology
- Terrestrial
Comments: Montane boreal and coastal coniferous forest and alpine areas; various habitats including damp meadows surrounded by coniferous forest, in grass among spruce-fir, mid-elevation fir-larch, along streams and rivers in high prairie, mossy banks of small streams, alpine tundra, sphagnum bogs.
Non-Migrant: Yes. At least some populations of this species do not make significant seasonal migrations. Juvenile dispersal is not considered a migration.
Locally Migrant: No. No populations of this species make local extended movements (generally less than 200 km) at particular times of the year (e.g., to breeding or wintering grounds, to hibernation sites).
Locally Migrant: No. No populations of this species make annual migrations of over 200 km.
Trophic Strategy
Dusky shrews are insectivorous. Their small size results in rapid heat loss due to the small surface to volume ratio. In order to maintain a constant body temperature shrews have to maintain a high metabolic rate and, therefore, consume large quantities of prey (Findley, 1987). They must spend most of their time hunting and feeding. The diet of Sorex monticolus consists of insects and their larvae, earthworms, spiders, snails, and, rarely, small salamanders. The largest possible prey size was estimated to be >30mm (Smith & Belk, 1996). In addition, dusky shrews were observed eating conifer seeds, lichens, and fungi (Rhoades, 1986). Although dusky shrews were described as aggressive hunters, little has been mentioned as to how they capture their prey.
Comments: Feeds primarily on insects and other small invertebrates (worms, sowbugs, molluscs, etc.). Also consumes some vegetable matter.
General Ecology
Most individuals probably do not live longer than 18 months. Mean home range estimates = 1227 sq m for nonbreeders, 4020 sq m for breeders (van Zyll de Jong 1983). Apparently not territorial in breeding season; may move widely (van Zyll de Jong 1983)
Life History and Behavior
Perception Channels: tactile ; chemical
Comments: Active throughout the year.
Life Expectancy
Lifespan, longevity, and ageing
The breeding season may last from February to August. Around February males show signs of reproductive activity by increasing their body size by 50%. Females become receptive in March (Smith & Belk, 1996). The exact timing of reproduction varies with geographic location so, in general, young are born in spring and summer. Little is known about the precise length of gestation period but it is estimated to be about 13 to 28 days (Forsyth, 1985). Young shrews are born in a small nest made from grass and placed under a rock or fallen tree. They are blind and naked but they mature very quickly, weaning takes only 3 weeks (Findley, 1987). Females experience postpartum estrus and may produce 3 or 4 litters with an average of 5 to 6 young per litter (Smith & Belk, 1996). The expected longevity of these small animals is 12 to 18 months and usually females do not start breeding until after their first winter (Willson & Ruff, 1999).
Key Reproductive Features: gonochoric/gonochoristic/dioecious (sexes separate); sexual
Average number of offspring: 5.68.
Average age at sexual or reproductive maturity (female)
Sex: female: 365 days.
Breeding season extends from April-August. Average litter size is about 5, but ranges up to 7 (van Zyll de Jong 1983). Information on reproduction from different parts of the range is needed.

Names and Taxonomy
Comments: There has been disagreement over whether S. monticolus is distinct from S. vagrans at the species level; most recent studies recognize S. monticolusas a distinct species (e.g., Jones et al. 1992; Hutterer, in Wilson and Reeder 1993; Smith and Belk 1996). S. obscurus, formerly regarded as a subspecies of Sorex vagrans, was considered a subspecies of S. monticolus by Hennings and Hoffman (1977), Carraway (1990), and Hutterer (in Wilson and Reeder 1993). Taxa formerly known as S. monticolus bairdii and S. monticolus permiliensis were regarded by Carraway (1990) as subspecies of Sorex bairdii. Subspecies setosus formerly was included in Sorex vagrans by some authors.
Alexander (1996) conducted a morphometric analysis of skulls and determined that the shrew heretofore known as Sorex obscurus neomexicanus, Sorex vagrans neomexicanus, or Sorex monticolus neomexicanus should be recognized as a distinct species, S. neomexicanus. The North American mammal checklist by Baker et al. (2003) followed Alexander in recognizing S. neomexicanus as a distinct species. Sorex neomexicanus was considered a subspecies of Sorex monticolus by George, in Wilson and Ruff (1999).
Subspecies calvertensis may be synonymous with S. m. elassodon; further study is needed (Alexander 1996).
See George (1988) for an electrophoretic study of systematic relationships among Sorex species.

Chick came up to me and said
"This the number to dial
If you wanna make your #1 your #2 now"
Lyric Meaning
A girl gives Kanye her phone number and tells him that if he calls it, she will take the spot as his #1 girl, moving his current #1 to the #2 position.
Also take note of the number wordplay. 1 and 2 are commonly used as phone numbers. Perhaps this refers to Kanye changing his number for this girl.

By Aveeno1 Review
Expiration Date:?Jan 2018
Expiration Date
The length of time for the expiration date or "best used before" date depends on the type of product, as well as the brand.
Perishable items (such as flax oils or certain probiotics) generally have shorter expiration dates. Although our warehouse is fully air-conditioned, these more fragile items are put in cold storage (freezer or refrigeration unit) for maximum freshness.
Our receiving department does its best to verify and then enter the correct expiration dates for all incoming products. However, discrepancies do occur from time to time. This being said, the exceptionally high turnover at iHerb ensures that our inventory is among the freshest in the industry.
Shipping Weight:?0.35 lbs (0.16 kg)
Shipping Weight
The Shipping Weight includes the product, protective packaging material and the actual shipping box. In addition, the Shipping Weight may be adjusted for the Dimensional Weight (e.g. length, width & height) of a package. It is important to note that certain types of products (e.g. glass containers, liquids, fragile, refrigerated or ice packed) will often require protective packaging material. As such, these products will reflect a higher Shipping Weight compared to the unprotected product.

Dec 1, 2013I dig it. Get Irie and have a blast. This isnt a sim at all. Its just a fun racer. Not as exacting as the other winter sports bobsled games out there. Easier to steer and there are obstacles to avoid. But if you screw up its much more forgiving than say Winter Sports. Its silly fun and I really enjoyed it. There are lots of tracks and racers to unlock. Plenty of fun and great with friends.

Even the die-hard NFL fans may have trouble watching the final preseason game of their respected team. Almost no starting or relevant players even step foot onto the field during game-time, but nonetheless this was a huge game for the 20+ players on the verge of getting cut over this upcoming weekend.The Chicago Bears have some very intriguing roster battles going on, and although none of them are necessarily for starting positions, these are players that very well may have a big impact on the team's success as they prepare for the regular season opener September 9th in Chicago against the Indianapolis Colts.OFFENSEThe Bears came out with an assortment of third-string players and others deeper on the depth chart looking to make the team. The offensive line played well overall, with offensive guard Ricky Henry showing some aggressiveness and bulk to add depth at the guard position. Left tackle James Brown also looked impressive. The Bears offensive line did not allow a sack all night...

Dec 31 2012, 10:24am CST | by Luigi Lugmayr
New Delhi, Dec 31 — The international boxing association (AIBA) has snubbed the Indian Amateur Boxing Federation (IABF) and said that from now on it will discus the affairs of Indian boxing only with the sports ministry.
AIBA's snub came in response to a letter written by IABF's vice-president P.K. Muralidharan Raja to amicably find a solution and lift the ban on the Indian body at the earliest.
In reply to Raja's letter, Patricia Steulet, AIBA's director of external relations, wrote: "Kindly note that from now on, and due to the suspension of the Indian Amateur Boxing Federation, AIBA will no longer communicate with you or with any office bearer of the IABF. All matters will be dealt with directly with the Indian Ministry of Sports."
Raja, also a former secretary general of the IABF, in his letter dated Dec 28 to AIBA, said: "I am sure that all of us agree that this is the time for every member of IABF to genuinely introspect, sit down together and find the way ahead for a healthier and stronger IABF."
The AIBA earlier this month has suspended the IABF for "possible manipulations" in its elections held Sep 23. The AIBA has said that IABF elections were flawed and faulty.
Shortly after AIBA's suspension, the sports ministry also suspended the IABF for violating the national sports code during the elections.

It was more of a survey. The idea was pitched to the group by the Maize Rage and The Zone, if I remember correctly. The results ended up being 2-1 or 3-1 in favor of not going official (which is exactly how it should be). Even if they inexplicably had been in favor I doubt it would have happened.

The Pointes also banned Poles during that time as well. I'm well over half Polish and never had a problem while growing up. People know the history, and the vast majority put it behind them because it just doesn't matter as much anymore. It is nowhere near as prevalent as it used to be. Those days are dead. Is there still a sense of entitlement? Absolutely. Are you going to be run out of town for being Jewish/Black/etc.? No.

I fully agree that, in the end, his intention shouldn't matter. Unfortuantely, he's driven a wedge so deep in between himself and students/alumni/fans that decisions like this are questioned almost instantly, even though they should be looked upon in a positive light.

Good for him. It's about time. And credit to him for finally getting that part right, even if I don't entirely believe that he did this on his own.
I will, however, shit on him for not pursuing this relationship with students in the first place. He never should have waited four years to do stuff like this. He never should have blown them off in the first place. It's too late to call this relationship "important" and not be laughed at. If it were actually important, he shouldn't have destroyed it in the first place.

|You want an actual rebuttal?
Fine. Here. The Free Press report was full of holes, misconstrued quotes, and other irregularities (to put it nicely). The entire student body knew it and therefore didn't take it seriously. Perhaps you forgot that the old BOX house put up a sign that said "Rosenberg punches dolphins" in response to the story. Athletics never gave anyone a real reason to protest those games because everyone involved knew the article was crap.
Contrast that with the attitude of the athletic department since Brandon has taken over. The students have been treated like crap. Donors feel alienated. The only ones who seem to be happy are the athletes themselves (I don't blame them for that) and those who have an obscene amount of money to donate.

|Wrong analogy
Yes the Madrid-United match was a great way to expand the sport in the US but neither one of those teams gave up a home match to play over here. It was part of a pre-season tour and was solely marketing based.
This, on the other hand, would be fine if they hadn't ended season ticket renewals five days before announcing it. A bunch of other people have beaten that to death at this point, but that's the main problem. Factor in that you just removed one of the two best games on the home calendar and it's a huge slap in the face to everyone who bought season tickets.

The bigger question becomes whether or not those nine games are only for competitive matches. I would think that friendlies are included in that number, but not counting friendlies would be the harshest way to implement it (and probably the right one, too).
EDIT: Yanked from Liverpool's SB Nation site: The player Luis Suárez is to be suspended for nine (9) official matches. The first match of this suspension is to be served in the upcoming FIFA World Cup™ fixture between Colombia and Uruguay on 28 June 2014. The remaining match suspensions shall be served in Uruguay's next FIFA World Cup match(es), as long as the team qualifies, and/or in the representative team's subsequent official matches in accordance with art. 38 par. 2a) of the FDC.
· The player Luis Suárez is banned from taking part in any kind of football-related activity (administrative, sports or any other) for a period of four (4) months in accordance with art. 22 of the FDC.
· A stadium ban is pronounced against the player Luis Suárez in accordance with art. 21 of the FDC as follows: the player Luis Suárez is prohibited from entering the confines of any stadium during the period of the ban (point 3). The player Luis Suárez is prohibited from entering the confines of any stadium in which the representative team of Uruguay is playing while he has to serve the nine-match suspension (point 2).
To me, it looks like not only can he not appear at any related functions, but this effectively serves as a transfer ban (see the administrative bit in point 2). Well done, FIFA.

|Ok, seriously
If you're going to support Die Nationalmannschaft and attempt to speak German in the process, get it right. It's Schweinsteiger, and the entire Bayern contingent just finished winning the Treble by winning the DFB Pokal yesterday, so they're all out. The Dortmund players were offered a break after the Champions League final against Bayern and everyone took it except for Sven Bender.

|Quick thing on Germany:
Quick thing on Germany: Bayern's run this year is going to break just about every German record there is (points, goal differential, clean sheets, earliest championship, etc.). This an unusual year, and considering the past standings, not indicative of a duopoly. Bayern finished second last year, but third the year before that, behind Leverkusen. Schalke finished second to Bayern in 2009/10. I wouldn't go as far as to declare an outright duopoly at this point, but I wouldn't be shocked if it happens either. Also, Dortmund was on the verge of bankruptcy about ten years ago, so their renaissance is all the more impressive.
The importance of the 50+1 rule in Germany cannot be understated. The rule stipulates that supporters must own more than half of the club, which prevents owners from acting as sugar daddies like at Chelsea, City, and PSG. Therefore, there will likely never be a German team that runs afoul of FFP (unless Schalke's situation gets worse, and that's a whole other story). As a result, the current two horse race in Germany is not because of FFP. Yes, Bayern can outspend everyone in the Bundesliga, but that's as because of their business practices/historical success, not FFP.
The thing to watch now is to see how UEFA enforces the rules. Malaga has been banned from European competitions for one year due to running afoul of these rules, but if UEFA wants to show that its policy has teeth, it needs to go after a team like PSG or City.

Dubiously busy Audrina Partridge humble bragged about having not worked out in a year while posting nearly nudes of herself looking like she works out. She made sure to mention she is still in shape and toned and that she has good genes, because she is what scientists refer to as a cunt:
"On a mission to get back into shape and work on dat bootay!!!!… I honestly have not really worked out in a year and have lost my muscle and extra toned body… Give me a couple months to whip it into shape.. I may be petite and skinny genetically but its easy to lose shape!"
If there's anything fat banshees hate more than a good looking woman it's working out. You've just been thrown the gauntlet. It's easy to piss off the fat acceptance bloggers but they're too lazy to do anything. Now you've alienated yourself from hoards of hot chicks sweating through yoga class because you're making them shallower. Let me guess, you are such a pig sometimes because you love a certain burger chain. I think you're lying. If not you'll look like shit by the time we have pilot cars. Regardless, in one svelte swoop you may have become the worst person ever. Yet I'd still let you sit on my face. Life is fucked up.

It's 5 dimensions, 6 senses
Lyric Meaning
5 dimensions referring possibly to both the musical group The 5th Dimension who were sampled on a different Mos song, and the supposed added "understanding of the universe" beyond the standard 4 dimensions: length (x), width (y), height (z), and time (t). Einstein called the 5th dimension the "unifying point" of electromagnetism and gravitation.
Humans only possess 5 senses (unless you're M. Night Shyamalan), but other animals like sharks have 6.

FORSCOM, USARC Forward Team Celebrates 236th Army Birthday
June 14, 2011
By Jim Hinnant, U.S. Army Forces Command Public Affairs (Forward)
FORT BRAGG, N.C. -- Senior Leaders, Soldiers, Army civiians and key players in the construction of the new U.S. Army Forces Command (FORSCOM)/U.S. Army Reserve Command (USARC) Combined Headquarters Construction Project came together in the new facility to celebrate the 236th Birthday of the U.S. Army, and the near-completion of the project - which is set for June 21, 2011.
Ronna Garrett, officer-in-charge, FORSCOM (Forward), hosted the ceremony, which was attended by representatives of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, USARC and the prime contractor for construction of the new headquarters - Hensel Phelps Construction Co.
"Today, we have gathered in this magnificent new headquarters building to celebrate our
Army's 236th birthday and thank Hensel-Phelps (Construction) and the Army Corps of
Engineers for their hard work and dedication to providing Soldiers, Army
Civilian and contractors a world-class home," Garrett said. "It is fitting that today, we celebrate two momentous occasions--the Army's 236th birthday and the substantial completion of this 631,000 square foot facility."
After a group rendition of the traditional "Happy Birthday to You" in this case, sung to "America's Army," Garrett invited the oldest Soldier present, Sgt. Maj. Jerry Edwards, of FORSCOM G3 (Forward), and the youngest Soldier present, Spec. Josiah Simpson, of the Army Ground Forces Band to join here in cutting the Army birthday cake with a traditional saber.
FORSCOM and USARC now have more than 1,000 Soldiers and Army civilians working here, with the intitial move in of selected staff members to the new building set for July 5. By the end of the summer, nearly 3,000 members of the two commands will have moved here, and the 2005 Base Realignment and Closure legislation-directed relocation of the two command headquarters from Fort McPherson, Ga., will be complete.

Further Comment on
United Nations Choices
in the Middle East
As one who was a responsible participant in the process that led to Resolution No. 242, I should like to comment on Ernest Gross's cogent and penetrating analysis of the resolution. Most criticism of the resolution is simply wrong, and can easily be dismissed. Ambassador Gross's criticism is, as you might expect, fundamental, and goes to the heart of the matter. He raises two basic questions about Resolution No. 242. One, which I will come to second, is, I think, easily answered in terms of the genesis of drafting the resolution. The other is difficult, but, I think, not impossible to answer.
The first question is his basic critique of Resolution No. 242 for making a false equation, as he said, between Israeli troop withdrawals from some, but not all, occupied territories to secure and recognized boundaries established by the negotiating process, on the one hand, and, on the other, a recognition on the part of Israel's neighbors of its inalienable right to exist as a state. As Ambassador Gross says, Israel's right to exist should never be subject to negotiation at all. Here, perhaps, we come to the famous problem of the differences between

Boston Legal
- show Description
Led by an Emmy Award-winning cast, "Boston Legal" returns for its fifth and final season to tell the professional and personal stories of a group of brilliant but often emotionally challenged attorneys. Sometimes irreverent and funny, sometimes intense and moving, "Boston Legal" prides itself on being at the forefront of issue-oriented television, often addressing issues that are underreported by the media. Fast-paced and wildly comedic, the series confronts social and moral issues, while its characters continually stretch the boundaries of the law. Back-to-back Emmy Award winners James Spader and William Shatner play Alan Shore and Denny Crane, unlikely kindred spirits among the brigade of high-priced litigators at Crane Poole & Schmidt. In addition, Shirley Schmidt (played by five-time Emmy winner Candice Bergen), a founding partner of the firm, continues to help bring order to the chaotic office. She keeps a vigilant eye on all, particularly on Denny Crane, with whom she shares a checkered past. Continuing to keep the office staff in tow is no-nonsense senior partner Carl Sack (Emmy Award winner John Larroquette), yet another ex-boyfriend of Shirley's, who has a newfound respect for the quirky team. Added to the mix are Jerry Espenson (Emmy Award winner Christian Clemenson), Shore's friend and fellow lawyer who suffers from Aspergers syndrome; and Katie Lloyd (Tara Summers), a young associate who is proving that she can run with the big dogs in the Boston offices.

Notes (244)
Original International Air Dates: Slovakia: September 7, 2010 on JOJ
Rhona Mitra (Tara Wilson), William Shatner (Denny Crane) and James Spader (Alan Shore), held the same role on The Practice.
The offices of Crane, Poole and Schmitt have undergone re-decorating and redesign in the months since its appearance on The Practice. Instead of the cold, enclosed dark colours that were prevalent, it is now light gray and red with glass walls and balconies.
Rene Auberjonois and William Shatner also appeared in the December 6, 1991 movie Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country as Colonel West and James T. Kirk respectively. Even though the majority of Rene's scenes were edited out, they were put back in for the video and DVD release.
Re-aired on Tuesday, August 9th at 10 PM, its new timeslot for the 2005-2006 schedule.
Though they were set 100 years apart, Rene Auberjonois and William Shatner both starred in Star Trek. William Shatner as Captain James T. Kirk in Star Trek and Rene Auberjonois as Constable Odo in Star Trek: Deep Space Nine. They did, however, appear together in the classic and extremely well edited episode of DS9, "Trials and Tribble-ations". Shatner did not actually appear modernly but the producers used archive footage from the original series.
Although Vince Colossimo was part of the cast during the show's run on The Practice as Matthew Billings, he was let go for unknown reasons.
Although Rebecca DeMornay was part of the cast during the show's run on The Practice as Hannah Rose, she was let go due to the fact that audiences did not like her character.
Trivia (95)
In the last several episodes of The Practice, there was a wall with no windows behind Denny Crane's desk in his office. In Boston Legal, there is a huge window behind his desk.
When Rev. Al Sharpton makes a reference to "Little Orphan Annie" as being only 50 years old, he is incorrect. The comic strip first appeared around 1924; the musical in 1977.
In the scene where Denny is smoking a cigar and talking to Brad, his cigar starts out as a little less than half smoked. When he stands up, the cigar is smoked to the end. However, when Denny sits back down, the cigar is back to its original half smoked status.
Paul Lewiston recalls to Denny Crane about the time they saw Muhammad Ali's last fight and the beating that he received from Larry Holmes. Ali's last fight was against Trevor Berbick, not Holmes
Goof: As Alan Shore explains to Miles Tibbet all the things he'll have to do to him, there is a shot of Alan from the back and right. The lip movement doesn't match the words said, namely: "By the time I'm done..."
In the scene where Judge Brown's mother is in the courtroom, in one shot, there is a boom mike visible above Alan's head for a fraction of a second.
When Paul leaves the room filled with the judges the camera moves towards him. It then goes back to Alan and behind him you see the table where the judges sat, but there are no judges there.
Goof: The judge in one of the trials is named "O'Keefe", however the nameplate on the judge's bench in court is spelled "O'Keffe" incorrectly. The cast listing spells the judge's name properly.
Allusions (105)
Episode Title: Still Crazy After All These Years This episode's title comes from the Paul Simon song and album of the same name, released in 1975.
In the last scene of this episode Denny Crane is out on the office balcony with Alan Shore discussing that day's cases. Denny says "You don't think she'll go Glenn Close on you?" Alan says "No". They were referring to the movie Fatal Attraction where Glenn Close's character gets so obsessed with Michael Douglas's character that she would stop at nothing to get him back.
Denny: Put me in a cell with Martha will ya? This is in reference to Martha Stewart's five-month sentence for lying about a stock sale.
When Denny asks the cross-dressing Santa if said Santa is gay he immediately follows it up with "Not that there's anything wrong with that". This is a reference to a Seinfeld episode entitled The Outing, during which Denny's statement was said many times.
Lori: You don't need to ask the 64,000 dollar question. The $64,000 Question was a television show in the United States where contestants were asked consecutive questions that became more difficult. The phrase has since become a type of slang referring to the most important question.
When Sally has a run-in with Schmidt, Tara says 'Dibs on her office'. This is an in-joke, referencing another David E. Kelley series, L.A. Law, in which Arnie Becker (Corbin Bernsen) uses the same line in both the first and last episodes, first about Norman Cheney and then Leland McKenzie.
The blocked conservative news station on the school's televisions is obviously Fox News, although it is never mentioned by name.
Title: "Death Be Not Proud" is the title of a poem by John Donne (1572-1631). DEATH be not proud, though some have called thee Mighty and dreadfull, for, thou art not so, For, those, whom thou think'st, thou dost overthrow, Die not, poore death, nor yet canst thou kill me. From rest and sleepe, which but thy pictures bee, Much pleasure, then from thee, much more must flow, And soonest our best men with thee doe goe, Rest of their bones, and soules deliverie. Thou art slave to Fate, Chance, kings, and desperate men, And dost with poyson, warre, and sicknesse dwell, And poppie, or charmes can make us sleepe as well, And better then thy stroake; why swell'st thou then; One short sleepe past, wee wake eternally, And death shall be no more; death, thou shalt die.

Under the leadership of Music Director, Ernie Macintyre, the group has grown to almost 60 members in the first half of 2015, adding depth and breadth to our music and singing. We welcome newcomers to the group, so consider playing the ukulele and joining the Delta Strummers.
Photos from our various performances can be viewed by clicking the Photo Gallery link in the menu above. Videos of a number of performances can be viewed on You Tube by browsing to www.youtube.com and searching on 'Delta Strummers'.
Winter/Spring performances
We had several performances during the Christmas season, including a school and an assisted-living facility.

Ukulele Uprising Concert
An enthusiastic audience joined us as we shared our joy of music and demonstrated the versatility of the ukulele at the Delta Strummers' Ukulele Uprising concert on Saturday, May 2, 2015 at El Campanil Theatre in Antioch. Our program included numbers from various genres, including ragtime, folk, blues, Hawaiian, rock and roll, and old time foot stompers.
Breakout groups and soloists
Beginning in 2015, our performances have featured several 'breakout groups', or small groups of musicians/singers performing one or more songs. These groups include 'The Garage Band' and 'The Ah Capellas'. Several band members are also featured in solo renditions of some songs (playing &/or singing), with the backing of the band.
Group practice
Our weekly group practices are held on Tuesday evenings at Summerset IV in Brentwood. Rehearsals for our Spring season resume on Tuesday, January 12.
Ukulele Lessons
We offer beginning ukulele lessons, led by our Music Director, assisted by a few of our experienced players. Classes are well attended, and participants are able to transition to our main playing group as they achieve some basic skills.

Your help in translating MegaGlest is much appreciated.
I'd recommend the wiki by far. One source for all information (want to learn the controls? How to mod? What Military is?) that is very easy to update by anyone (GAE team busy? An experienced editor can do it for you!) is a huge plus.
As a side note I think translations are a similar situation. There's no point duplicating efforts for slightly different wording with the keys.
It uses doxygen tags in a source comment to automatically generate the pages. It's no more difficult than wiki syntax. (see http://www.stack.nl/~dimitri/doxygen/commands.html#cmdpage for an example).
So how come I can't seem to repair transformed defense towers? Also "Become farm" should be "Transform to".
Quote from: ultifd on 22 February 2011, 08:30:54So how come I can't seem to repair transformed defense towers? Also "Become farm" should be "Transform to".The defence tower wasn't in shibboleth initially, I added it so I could test some stuff with housed units, and obviously didn't add it to the worker's list of repairable units.
Just thinking about it now makes me wonder though, should a transformed building be repairable before it finishes its own construction? Might make that a flag...
