The most memorable of the five seasons, of course, was the first, Denver's 1977 season that resulted in not only the team's first playoff appearance, but also Super Bowl XII against the Dallas Cowboys. In the new book "Then Morton Said to Elway: The Best Denver Broncos Stories Ever Told" by Craig Morton with Denver Post sports writer Adrian Dater, Morton reflects on his many highs (and some lows) of his career with the Broncos.
The following is an excerpt from the book centering on the Broncos' New Year's Day, 1978 victory over the Oakland Raiders in the AFC championship game at Mile High Stadium - a game in which Morton originally thought there was no way he'd be able to play.
"Then Morton Said to Elway: The Best Denver Broncos Stories Ever Told"
by Craig Morton with Denver Post sports writer Adrian Dater
We're going to the Super Bowl!
When looking at the final statistics of the AFC Championship Game, on New Year's Day, 1978, it would seem just like another typical Bronco victory of that special season.
Now, his entire left leg had swollen, filled with what he said were two inches around of painful, coagulated blood. This would be the most important week of practice in the season, but it was soon clear to coach Red Miller that his starting QB would not be able to partake.
Still, the media and public at large never found out until years later that Morton spent his days at St. Luke's Medical Center in Denver. In today's 24/7 media world, keeping secret that a starting QB wasn't at practice entering a championship game would be virtually impossible. But, with practices closed to the media and everybody keeping a poker face in the locker room to the press on hand, somehow it never got out that Morton was, really, an invalid that week. Only on the Friday before the game did Miller acknowledge that Morton hadn't been practicing, but he still kept quiet the extent of his QB's injury.
To all Coloradoans, there still was little question No. 7 would be in the lineup against the Al Davis's "Raidahs."
"The leg was black, really. I was like, 'I'm dying, I've got to go to the hospital,'" Morton said. "I had a nice private room. I really couldn't get out of bed. But nobody knew. I was just always getting treatment, not really talking to anybody. Guys like Dolbin would come in and visit me, though, and help give treatments. He had heard of this machine that he thought could help, which moved the blood around a little bit or something. (Shoot), I tried anything. But really it was horrible and wasn't getting any better."
Morton resigned himself the night before -- with the Raiders installed in Las Vegas as 3-point favorites -- that he was going to miss the game that, if won, would put the Broncos into the Super Bowl. Still, he came to Mile High Stadium in the morning, to take more treatment and just support his teammates. Most of his time was spent in the boiling waters of a whirlpool.
"So I got up on a training table, so everyone could see me. The leg was absolutely black. I thought, 'Well, I'll get a little sympathy here.' But after a little while, I started to think more about giving it a shot."
That's when one of the most memorable stories of Bronco lore unfolded. Miller kept coming around Morton's locker every few minutes as game time neared, asking his veteran QB what he thought. Morton had decided to put his uniform on, and had no trouble getting his shirt and upper pads on. But anything involving his legs was a chore -- especially getting on his shoes. Doing that himself, in fact, was out of the question.
Morton then memorably told Miller, after his last inquiry, "OK, if you can tie my shoes, I'll try it."
"But, really, I was just kind of saying it in a joking way. Really, I was still not sure I could walk out on the field. But when he got down on his hands and knees and tied my shoes, he did it in front of everybody. And after he did that, I got a little fired up and said, 'I'm ready.'"
Morton's teammates got fired up, just seeing him give it a go. Said kicker Jim Turner: "Honestly, it looked like Craig had been hit by a car. His leg looked really very scary. He probably still should have been in a hospital. But this was the AFC title game. It's a testament to Craig's toughness that he did what he did."
Morton told Miller he'd start the game and see how things went, knowing that one big hit on his left leg would probably end his day -- and, likely, his season.
"And just like I had hoped, as soon as I got on the field and the crowd started going crazy and I started throwing a football a little, adrenaline took over and I started not to feel it as much. And when I started taking some snaps and throwing, I found that I could set up good, but any time I started to move forward, it still really hurt. And I just told my linemen: 'Guys, they don't touch me, we win this game.' And they did an unreal job. They only hit me twice, and I fell on the other side each time. And to do that against that defensive line, with the players they had, was some kind of accomplishment."
The game itself was another thriller. It still ranks as the favorite victory in Broncos history to some fans, given that it put the team into the Super Bowl for the first time. With their one-legged QB, the Broncos dethroned the champion Raiders, 20-17.
Morton's start was not encouraging, however. His first pass of the game went right between the numbers of Raiders Pro Bowl safety, Jack Tatum. Fortunately, Tatum dropped the easy interception. The Raiders took a 3-0 lead on an Errol Mann field goal, but Morton found his favorite receiver, Haven Moses, across the middle for what ended up a 74-yard, first-quarter touchdown pass. Despite the close final score, the Broncos would never trail from that point.
Morton well remembers the big strike to Moses -- and the near-interception by Tatum:
"On the first pass, we called a '143 Dig', one of our favorite plays. It was Haven across the middle. But I threw it right into Tatum's chest. So after that I said we weren't going to throw over the middle anymore. I wanted to fake over the middle and go to Haven in the corner. We did that, and I got some good zip on the pass and he caught it, and I just remember thinking how incredible it was that he kept going down the sidelines."
"I hit Haven with another (12-yard TD) pass in the fourth quarter, that made it 20-10, and at that point I really couldn't hear myself think from the crowd noise. I don't think a crowd will was ever so loud, honest to God."
The Raiders scored late on a Ken Stabler-to-Dave Casper TD pass and there were some tense moments in the end, but when the gun sounded the Broncos were AFC champions. They were going to the Super Bowl!
Morton finished the most gutsy game of his career 10-for-20 passing, with 224 yards, the two TD strikes to Moses and one interception. Morton was overcome with emotion in the shower afterward, water coming from his eyes as well as the nozzles.
"Somebody snapped that picture, I remember seeing it, and it was something I'll never forget obviously. Other than my kids being born, that was probably the greatest feeling I ever had in my life. I had been to a Super Bowl before with Dallas, but for some reason, this was better. These people in Denver were the reason. They were just amazing. This just wasn't supposed to happen in Denver. They were a cowtown. It just seemed to change everything about the city.
"I remember just standing in the doorway, from the South stands. I couldn't move too well obviously, so I just was standing there and it was beyond anything I could imagine. Everybody was just going crazy. We went to the Colorado Mine Company after the game, of course, and I made sure I kept feeling no pain. We had a few vodka and orange juices, that's for sure. They had the best steaks there, and the food never tasted so good that night. It's so amazing to think back to that day, because of how it started out for me, and how it turned out at the end. I went from thinking seriously I wouldn't be able to play to sipping champagne and winning an AFC championship. I had an incredible amount of help from a great bunch of teammates that day. It was a great team victory, one that I'll never forget."
Editor's note: It turns out that Red Miller was not the sole inspiration for Morton's participation in the AFC title game against Oakland. Another man was probably more instrumental, and his name was Loren Hawley, and only 31 years later did Morton allow for the real story of his involvement come out.
Loren Hawley: The enabler
Who was Loren Hawley? He was probably Craig Morton's best friend, a legendary rugby player at Cal-Berkeley, who was a receiver on a couple of Morton's Cal football teams who later went into business with Morton on several ventures that had many ups and downs.
Hawley, a fun loving, hard living, self-described "country bumpkin", became so entwined with Morton that he lived wherever Morton played much of his career. He was living in Denver, therefore, on the day of the 1978 AFC Championship game against the Oakland Raiders, when Morton was hospitalized much of the week because of a badly bruised left leg and hip.
What has been underreported, however, is the role Hawley played in Morton's eventual decision to play. Basically, it came down to Hawley telling his friend, "Get out there and play the damn game!"
The common legend of the game is that Miller was the one who most prodded Morton into playing, by eagerly tying his shoelaces after Morton asked for help. But it was really words from Hawley's mouth that had the biggest influence. Working in the Denver oil business at the time and living with Morton, Hawley visited the hospital the morning of the game to see his good buddy.
"I was ready to just say, 'Hell, this has been a great year. I got them to the championship, but I'm hurting. There is nothing I can think that is going to be fun getting out of bed and playing in this game.' But then Loren just looked at me -- like I had done many times with him -- and said, 'What are you talking about? You can't afford not to play in this game. You've worked all your life to get back to this situation. Get your (butt) up. I'll take you over there, let's go.'"
"And that's exactly what happened. And the thing is, he was right. That helped me learn right there that you can always do things you don't think you can, if you really want to. I didn't think I could do it. But once he started talking in the positive sense, that it was something that was GOING to happen, it started a different thought process entirely. He took away any possibility that I would not play. So, when that happened, I just said, 'OK, I'm going to do this.' And then once I got around my teammates and got in the locker room, I just kept getting more and more inspired."
Hawley passed away this year from cancer.
"He (was) just a great man, a real character guy. And, believe me, a woman magnet. He was a great, great athlete who finally just got elected to the Cal Hall of Fame -- which was long overdue. Without him that day, though, I seriously doubt I would have played against the Raiders."

The video looks great btw, I just hope there won't be a lot of "cheap" scares, like opening a closet and something jumps out, etc. Don't get me wrong, those can be scary as well, but repeating them too many times can cause the opposite effect. What I really like so far is the cameras mechanic, you put them outside the doll house and then see inside, it's very original. One question, we will just explore the doll house, so it will be similar to the box in The Room? Also can you share what kind of puzzles can we expect? Give us just a little teaser
Don't worry there won't be a cat jumping out in every room. A lot of it will be like The Room, unlocking it externally but also the cameras will provide access internally to solve puzzles in a more first person way.
The puzzels will be a mix of the kind of actions you do in The room but there will be puzzles abit more like 7th guest too.

Additional Information
About National Microfinance BankJordan is a small country located in the heart of the Middle East's Levant region. Regional instability has caused Jordan to be excluded from global investments for decades. Additionally, a lack of natural resources—including water and energy—places tremendous strain on the Jordanian economy, over 80% of which consists of small businesses, largely in the service industry. Despite their importance in the economy, many of these businesses are excluded from the banking sector because of their size. Microfinance institutions like National Microfinance Bank offer them an opportunity to enhance and expand their businesses. NMB also offers its services to other underprivileged peoples in Jordan, providing them with loans to pursue educational goals and improve their homes and livelihoods.
Concurrent and Successive Loans
Our Field Partners often work with borrowers over a series of loans as the borrowers build credit, take out bigger loans, and expand their businesses. In order to make it easier for our Field Partners to post loans for borrowers who have been listed on Kiva before, we allow them to post successive and concurrent loans for their Kiva borrowers. This means that our Field Partners are able to post a borrower's second, third, etc., loan on Kiva without having to re-enter all of the borrower's information.
This borrower has been listed on Kiva before, so you'll see an updated loan description, as well as excerpts of the original descriptions from earlier loans. Most borrowers take out loans consecutively, meaning that they receive a second loan after having repaid the first. However, sometimes our Field Partners give out concurrent loans, allowing borrowers to take out one primary loan and a secondary "add-on" loan along with it. These "add-on" loans are typically smaller than the borrower's primary loan and serve a different purpose. Because Field Partners can now post loans as successive and concurrent loans, you will be able to track borrower progress over time and see the various ways a borrower is working with our Field Partners through funds from Kiva's lenders.
Loan tags help lenders find loans that match certain areas of interest. You can add up to 5 tags for this loan.

Operation Rising Star offers trip to Hollywood for military vocalist
August 10, 2011
Related Links
SAN ANTONIO, Aug. 10, 2011 -- Local competitions for the 2011 Operation Rising Star singing contest begin this week at 37 Army installations and depots around the world.
The competition, similar to the popular television show "American Idol" and televised on The Pentagon Channel, is open to Morale, Welfare and Recreation patrons from all branches of the U.S. military, including family members ages 18 years old and up.
The grand-prize winner will receive an all-expenses-paid trip for two to Los Angeles to record a three-song demo compact disc. The trip includes air fare, lodging, $1,000 spending money and three days and nights of studio time with the support of top-rate musicians and recording technicians.
The professional studio time includes musicians, music arrangement, mixing and mastering, a vocal coach, an audio engineer and a CD producer. The approximate retail value of the prize package is $18,700.
Performers must first win their local Operation Rising Star event, then get selected through video auditions for a spot in the 12-contestant finals in San Antonio. One singer will be crowned the 2011 Rising Star at the conclusion of a week of live competition. The finals are judged by a panel of celebrity judges, and the winner is ultimately determined by online voting at www.OpRisingStar.com. The website provides all contest details and a schedule of events.
Winners of events at the installation level receive $500 for a first-place finish, $250 for second, and $100 for third.
Audience members at each local competition can win prizes, too, thanks in part to the Veterans of Foreign Wars, the presenting sponsor of the 2011 Operation Rising Star event. A $300 Spirit Award will be awarded to the military unit or Family Readiness Group that provides the most support to a singer at the local competitions.
Each night will feature a roll call of competitors for the Spirit Award, which will be awarded on the final night at each installation.
Local competitions will each have their own formats. The U.S. Army Garrison at Red Cloud, South Korea, for example, has a qualifying round Aug. 13, semifinals Aug. 20, and finals scheduled for Sept. 2. U.S. Army Garrison Yongsan, South Korea, has a one-shot deal slated for Sept. 24 at the R & R Bar and Grill.
Beginning Aug. 13 at Camp Bondsteel in Kosovo, Operation Rising Star performers will entertain every Saturday night throughout August.
The overall winner eventually will sing his or her way to Los Angeles, where professional musicians eagerly await.
Capt. Matt Pratt, husband of 2009 Operation Rising Star winner Lisa Pratt, was awestruck when he accompanied his wife on her grand-prize trip.
"To come into a place like DMI Studios and see the setup they have -- the professional musicians and the services they are providing -- it's all sort of unraveling real fast what is really involved," he said. "That's part of the magic. It's overwhelming to see the level that she's at and to see her basking in it. It still seems very surreal."
Matt redeployed from Mosul, Iraq, just in time to accompany his wife from Fort Carson, Colo., to Hollywood. The Operation Rising Star winner's journey reaffirmed his belief in the Army's promise to support Soldiers and their families.
"I'm trying to take it all in, but it's an emotional time for me because I get to see Lisa do what she absolutely loves doing," said Matt, a 2006 graduate of the United States Military Academy at West Point, N.Y. "She was supporting me and what I was doing. Now the Army has provided me the opportunity to sit here and support her with what she does."
"It's like it has come full-circle for us," he said. "There are a lot of emotions that are going into it, but I couldn't be happier seeing her doing what she's good at doing and what she loves doing."
Melissa Gomez, the 2010 Operation Rising Star winner, said she exceeded her expectations while recording in Pasadena.
"I've never thought I could sing as well as I just sang in there," said Gomez, a 30-year-old former Soldier turned full-time Army wife and mother. "I was hitting notes that I didn't know I could hit. And, Terry, oh my gosh, if I just had a few months with her, I wouldn't be talking to you -- I'd be talking to Oprah or somebody. I'd be famous."
"She just really pushed me beyond boundaries I thought I couldn't go past," said Gomez. "The songs are coming out way better than I thought they would."
Gomez was referring to vocal coach Terry Wood, who led her to unprecedented sounds inside the Southern California recording studio.
"I got her to the piano just to do some warm-ups and had her do some exercises and got her up to a high D, which I don't think she ever in her wildest dreams thought she could hit," Wood said. "And she does it easily. She's experimenting and finding out what her voice really can do, without much effort, really. She's got a unique sound and she's just discovering who she is as an artist."
Burleigh Drummond, who has been drumming for the pop group Ambrosia for 41 years, said it was incredible to be able to work with the Operation Rising Star winners.
"I'm an Army brat, so I grew up on military bases in Turkey and Redstone Arsenal, Alabama," Drummond said. "What I think is so great about it is that I think people think of the military like it's a separate world. They wouldn't imagine something like this existing within the Army life."
Drummond, who also worked with rockers Frank Zappa and Tin Drum, expected the exceptional talent Operation Rising Star has produced.
"You figure with that many people in the armed services, there's got to be some tremendous talent," he said. "I think this is a fantastic opportunity. Even people who do this for a living and are trying to make careers, they rarely get this kind of opportunity, so I think it's a great, great thing."
Producer Tim Heinz seconded that sentiment.
"It's something that's so different because I'm usually working with people in the music business and people that are focused on really just that -- the music business and TV and film," Heinz said. "These people are in the military. They're not devoting their lives to try to get their career going as a musician. They've given something much different with their lives. Their focus is on serving their country and protecting democracy and all these high lofty ideals -- not like I want to be a rock star."
"They are coming from such a different place than people we usually work with but they have dreams and talent and love of music" Heinz explained. "They have dreams, too, so to try to help them and give a little something back to them is really great. We're trying to help them and make it comfortable for them so they have a good experience -- give them an environment where they're able to do their best. It's just a win-win for everybody."
"We try to come up with something special and do something unique for each artist," Heinz said. "The first year it was kind of gospel, last year was a little more country, and this year we've got a little salsa in the mix, a little meringue. That was pretty fun. You see a slice of all the different people in America. We just love doing it. It's always a joy, always a treat."

Arkansas hasn't won at Coleman Coliseum since 2007, but trying to break a six-game losing streak on Alabama's home court today doesn't seem as daunting as it might have four weeks ago.

RNC Update: Yob, Blackwell, and Duncan
That didn't take long. Chuck Yob, the Michigan insider who was rumored to be doing a double-bid with Fred Thompson, had backed out of the race. That's probably going to make the race a little cleaner, considering how much dirt has flown between Anuzis and Yob for a while. But I did say only a little. Yob just endorsed Blackwell. From an organizing perspective that should signal to GOP insiders that Yob's probably going to give Blackwell some help on the ground -- meaning that concerns about Blackwell's ability to organize a state should be informed by the endorsement. (Think about it: Why would it matter if Yob was endorsing someone? This is a message.)
In the same statement, Steve Forbes endorsed Blackwell. When I spoke to an insider from another campaign, it's clear that Blackwell's considered to be a real conservative, and thus a formidable candidate. His failed gubernatorial bid, I'm told, is somewhat ameloriated by the Yob endorsement.
Mike Duncan's own intentions to run were confirmed yesterday. This will likely have the effect of dividing loyalties. Some GOP chairmen really like Duncan, while others feel he's ignored the state-to-state game.

Help Getting Started
Hi all,
I've gotten started in RC flying kind of by accident, and found this site a little ways into my journey. I've been reading and lurking for a while, and would like some advice. Here's my story:
I got started in all of this with an article from MAKE magazine, and built a flying-wing based on their kit. A link to the article: http://makeprojects.com/Project/-The...1#.UEOPwNZlRD2. They have a kit with all the parts: http://www.makershed.com/Flying_Wing_Kit_p/msfw1.htm.
Put it all together, kids loved helping out, and ended up with all the basics needed: Hitec Optic 5 transmitter, battery, charger, receiver, and something to fly around.
Did more crashing than flying however. Good news is it's pretty much indestructible. Made the assumption that the problem was more with the plane than the pilot - which is probably not true. Certainly didn't find it as easy and forgiving as advertised.
Kids loved building it so much, that I went out and picked up a kit to build a "real" RC plane. Found a Mountain Models EZ Scout kit, grabbed the EZ Wing version (foam wings), and have started the assembly process. A little more was left to the imagination - I picked up an engine and ESC that I think match (Scorpion S2 2205-1490, and Thunderbird 18 Brushless ESC), and construction has been going well.
A friend suggested a simulator, so I picked up Phoenix V 4.0 and figured out how to get the Hitec transmitter hooked up. Finding out this flying stuff is a lot harder than I expected! I can get things to land - but not where I want them to. My main issue with the simulator is it's tough to keep track of where the plane is compared to it's surroundings, which I'm assuming is much easier in real life. Basic controlling the flight of the plane, at least with a 3-channel setup, is getting easier.
Kids (13 and 15) are having a tougher time, and I'm getting nervous about letting them fly the plane we are building. To be honest, I'm a little nervous about flying it myself!
So this brings me to my questions:
Thanks in advance for sharing your knowledge!

Inorder not to discourage your kid, you should start with something easy to fly right out of the box. understand rc plane building is more than just build, you will have to balance the cg as well as trim the control surface inorder to have the plane fly. Get a rtf hobbyzone firebird strato, it has self level design and is a stronger plane, can take more wind than many other rtf mircos, until they have more confidence and start learn how to build. You should let them have fun first.
Yep I think a RTF high wing trainer would be the place to start. Like champ cub or super cub.
You said you have been lurking here and using a sim have you read the sticky Six Keys to Success for New Pilots?

My main issue with the simulator is it's tough to keep track of where the plane is compared to it's surroundings, which I'm assuming is much easier in real life.
Not necessarily true.
The wind can carry your plane away from you, and flying back toward youself into the wind can be really challenging. Don't discount the effect of looking into the sun. It seems the sun is always interfering with your takeoffs or landings or turns or.... And losing orientation due to too much sun, or too little, or just plain flying too far away adds to the fun. And don't underestimate the "pucker factor" as your $100 or $200 or $300 investment is whizzing by overhead. THAT cannot be replicated in a simulator! And, your transmitter doesn't have a reset button.
As for a good beginner plane, the CHAMP and SUPER CUB have a large fanatic following. Just look at the THOUSANDS of posts in their forums. Me, I'm a SC guy.
Perhaps someone can suggest something based on the equipment you already bought.
Good luck!
If you're a little nervous about letting your kids fly ( crash? ) the plane you're building , here's one you can make that costs $1.25 ( plus some hot glue and tape ) , is SUPER EASY to make , SUPER EASY to fly , and it protects your electronics if you do crash . It looks weird , but it's meant to be kind of a disposable trainer . After you and your kids learn to fly on it , then you could put your electronics on a " real ", nicer looking plane .
Step by step build instructions http://www.rcgroups.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1702077
Start with something that flies by itself and can withstand rough landings, like a Multiplex Easystar. Take a look in the Foamies (Kits) section.
That EZ Sport of yours is good as a second - or even third plane.

I think our problem with the towel is not near enough throttle (scared of crashing fast...), and way, way, way, way too low to the ground. Basically a quick over-steer a few feet off the ground, and we meet the ground. Going to give it a try again after playing around on the sim for a while.
Looking into a high wing trainer, want to find something that fits in with the equipment I've already bought..

Weekend weather looks like it will hold out, plan on cranking up the soldering iron and getting this guy up in the air this weekend!
Any suggestions on a plane model for PhoenixRC V4 that would be somewhat close to how this will handle - I'd like to get the kids some practice time...
I haven't done any flight sim myself , so I'm not sure if I can advise you about that other than to try a high wing trainer with dihedral , and have them practice making BIG turns ( SMALL movements on the control sticks ) with as little banking as possible . The most likely way to get in trouble flying the SE is over steering , since the rudder can be VERY responsive .
But when the time comes to fly the SE , after you have trimmed it , take it up high and hand the TX over to one of the kids and let them fly it around UP HIGH . If they get into trouble , take the TX back and save it before it gets too low to the ground .

It Flies!
Did some adding to the front, and a little more solid of a platform for holding the nose wight. It seemed to fly OK for me with the CG right on the prop, about an inch further back than described in the building plans.. I thought about trimming some off the sides - making the plan narrower - to try and reduce the weight in the back.
It's a little tricky to get started - it wants some airspeed before it will level out, it's a good thing I'm 6 feet tall, it almost hits the ground on a toss. The video shows a failed flight (lost vision behind the tree), and another flight that worked better. I still get mixed up with the plane flying at me - turned the wrong way at the end of the video and almost hit the house.
Overall a great success - thanks for the plans! I did get my son to fly it a couple of laps, which was great. Lots of fun.
Video is here:

Do you have any larger batteries ? Or do you have more than one of the kind in the photo ? If so , you could make a parallel harness to connect them together ( doubles the flight time ) and have them BOTH on the nose ( one on each side ) to get your CG right without the washers . Just make sure it's a PARALLEL harness , NOT a SERIES harness , 'cause that will toast the ESC .
One trick you could try when the plane is coming at you is : turn around with your back to the plane ( so your body and the TX are facing away from the plane ) and look at it over your shoulder , then left is left and right is right again .
I did notice in the video that there seemed to be a lot of over steering , the most common problem for beginners . All you can do is keep flying and try to make BIG turns ( small stick movements ) with as little banking as possible .

CRAiLAR Announces European Wet Processing Facility
PORTLAND, OR, Sept. 5, 2013 /PRNewswire/ - CRAiLAR Technologies Inc. ("CL" or the "Company") (TSXV: CL) (OTCQB: CRLRF), which produces and markets CRAiLAR® Flax fiber The Friendliest Fiber On The Planet™, today announced that it has executed a letter of intent ("LOI") to acquire a European fiber dyeing facility with more than thirty years of experience in the industry. The acquisition, which is subject to the entry into definitive agreements and prior regulatory approval, would establish CRAiLAR flax fiber production for the Company in one of the most prolific flax growing regions in Western Europe. The facility is currently capable of producing in excess of 250,000 pounds of CRAiLAR Flax fiber per week with room to expand. Under the terms of the LOI, CRAiLAR will acquire the facility by retiring approximately U.S. $1.2 million of the vendor's debt over a three-year period. Additionally, CRAiLAR will enter into a ten-year lease and option to purchase agreement on the building housing the facility with a renewal option for an additional ten years."We are thrilled by the prospect of having complete control of the CRAiLAR production process and, we believe, an immediate path to positive gross margin with no capital outlay," stated Ken Barker, Chief Executive Officer. "Acquisition of this facility would accelerate our production timeline by six to nine months; eliminate construction risks inherent with a 'green field' project; and substantially reduce the capital required to achieve one million pounds per week of capacity. The plant is also is located in an area known for flax growing excellence, thereby providing an abundant source of feedstock, and ties in perfectly with our European flax fiber sourcing initiative." The proposed establishment of a CRAiLAR wet processing facility in Europe is in addition to the longer-term plan to establish a fully integrated CRAiLAR facility at the Company's present site in Pamplico, South Carolina. About CRAiLAR Technologies Inc. CRAiLAR(R) Technologies Inc. offers cost-effective and environmentally sustainable natural fiber in the form of flax, hemp and other bast fibers for use in textile, industrial, energy, medical and composite material applications. Produced using a fraction of water and chemical inputs compared with other natural fibers, CRAiLAR Flax is the newest natural fiber introduction to the market in decades. The Company supplies its CRAiLAR Flax to HanesBrands, Georgia-Pacific, Brilliant Global Knitwear, Tuscarora Yarns, Target Corp. and Kowa Company for commercial use, and to Levi Strauss & Co., Cintas, Carhartt, Ashland, PVH Corp., Cotswold Industries, Cone Mills and Lenzing for evaluation and development.

Hello all,
I'm starting to get a good set of hunting/camping gear together, and one of the things I ran into was the ALICE and MOLLE packs made for the US military.
Now normally when I search for surplus the very first thing that comes to mind is Soviet Union. But I'm curious, what do Russian soldiers use nowadays, and is it as expensive as MOLLE? I can't seem to find anything on the actual names of the gear(probably because it's all in Russian somewhere).
I'm also curious if anyone has ALICE or MOLLE or whatever the Russian equivilant is, if they are waterproof. And if not, are there any militaries that might be cheaper than US surplus that would be waterproof? I live in the Northwest, and it rains more than shines around here.
I almost bought a small ALICE pack but I read the description and its made of canvas. Not nearly waterproof enough I'm afraid.
Thoughts? Ideas? I'm new to all this, so my only two ideas have been US and Russian surplus.
While I'm here, does anyone know of a good waterproof A-frame tent? I was going to buy the Stansport scout tent, but several reviews mentioned that while it has a tough floor like I want, it isn't actually waterproof, and will leak if you touch it. Considering that the tent was only slightly bigger than me, I was pretty sure I'd be touching it in my sleep, haha.
I suppose it doesn't have to be A-frame. It being black or OD is a big plus though. I like my equipment to match. And I have looked up Army tents, but they don't have any with a floor. And from my civil war re-enacting days, I'm not keen on sleeping in mud again.
Thanks all!

This works on PC only. I tried to play this through a Blu-Ray player that had a USB connection and it did not work. I'm still giving it a thumbs up though. It's as good of quality as you could possibly get out of a torrent this old, so I'm also giving it a 10/10 on audio and video. Just don't expect this quality to be comparable to the latest 50 GB Blu-Ray release of a 2014 blockbuster.

Good copy. Dialogue is pretty quiet compared to the music/singing. That's the only downside.

Nazeeran's Group
Her husband is a loader by profession and operates a loading/unloading business. He provides his services from his donkey cart and delivers the goods to the designated places.
She has applied for a loan from Kiva partner Asasah for her husband to buy a new cart because his current cart has become rough and needs to be replaced. He is the only earning person in the family and it is necessary that his business become established. He has been operating this business for the past four years and Nazeeran is hopeful that after the loan, it will start bringing him better profits.
Additional Information
This is a Group Loan
In a group loan, each member of the group receives an individual loan but is part of a larger group of individuals. The group is there to provide support to the members and to provide a system of peer pressure, but groups may or may not be formally bound by a group guarantee. In cases where there is a group guarantee, members of the group are responsible for paying back the loans of their fellow group members in the case of delinquency or default.
Kiva's Field Partners typically feature one borrower from a group. The loan description, sector, and other attributes for a group loan profile are determined by the featured borrower's loan. The other members of the group are not required to use their loans for the same purpose.

"Assumption of Risk Law" is a one sided law that protects Venue Owners. Texas Legislation needs to change one of the oldest laws in Texas.
Being an armywife is learning to support your spouse when they are called to duty, being a volunteered as a FRG Leader (Family Readiness Group)in his unit was my way to better understand how the army way of life. I started as the FRG Leader and planning events do bake sales every drill, picked up supplies, toys, planned Christmas parties, etc. Always attending training when asked looked for other volunteers to help with organizing events. This one event I helped planned 9-7-2009 Minute Maid Park Houston Astros donated 250 ticket to honor 72ndfor upcoming deployment. Soldiers would be allowed to march onto the field at a pre-game ceremony. The families of these honored soldiers where all to sit in a designated sections. I was holding a baby of single soldiers, when I was hit in the face. The Houston Astros organization where kind enough to send me a ball in a box with a no return address. These types of accident can happen at any moment. Your life will always be changed. The person you once where will and can be gone forever. The life style, financial obligations, and family life can change due to any accident. "The Assumptions of Risk Law" in my case it is called the "baseball rule" is one that most major entrainment venue hides behind in order not to have to pay the spectator or fans in case of injury. They believe that a patron, spectator, fans should knowing know that you will be injured if you go to their place of entertainment. Even if they have signs or they are voicing it over a loud speaker that you can be injured. What they fail to remember is that you are also distracted when you enter their place/venue trying to buy food, talking with friends, looking around trying to find your sections, going to get autographs if being offered that day. You could also be watching your children, takeing them to children areas, and going to the venue store to buy sports gear. Checking in the stroller, buying food, beer, popcorn, ice cream for the kids, many things can keep you distracted at a venue. On a given moment your life is changed from what you know to the unknown. With all that the venue owners hide behind this one sided blanket of protect "assumptions of risk law", and again I ask what about the fans/spectators. I was not given a chance at a trial by jury or judge. At least criminals are given court dates and trials by jury.

MN Health Department investigates foodborne illness outbreak at Girvan Grille
Google Maps street view of the Edinburgh USA Golf Course clubhouse containing Girvan Grille
In 2010, this paper bestowed the title of Best Wings on Girvan Grille, praising the "woodsy, then slightly fruity" and ultimately "blazing" flavor of its ghost pepper sauce. The restaurant has earned another sweat-inducing distinction -- this time as the likely source of a foodborne illness outbreak.
The Minnesota Department of Health is still assessing the damage but says at least 77 people, including members of the Totino Grace High School football team who attended a banquet on December 8, were sickened. The complaints followed meals that were served between December 6 and 10. The symptoms: vomiting and diarrhea.
See also:
The restaurant -- which is located inside the clubhouse of the Edinburgh USA Golf Course in Brooklyn Park -- did not return our messages but is said to be cooperating with authorities. The state health department has put the blame on at least one sick employee who failed to thoroughly wash his hands. It's unclear which dishes were contaminated.
Minnesota ranks among the best places in the country for reporting and investigating foodborne illnesses. The number of outbreaks on record compared to the number of restaurants and meals served is remarkably low. In 2005, there were only 41 confirmed cases involving two or more people.
"It's pretty small when you think about it," said Doug Schultz, a spokesman for the MN Department of Health. "Having said that, we also know that the number of outbreaks reported to us is the tip of the iceberg. A lot of people get sick, go to the doctor and just get over it without reporting it."
For proof he pointed to Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimates that one out of six people will fall ill from foodborne pathogens every year. (Not all of those incidents, of course, stem from restaurants; FoodNet was set up to monitor trends.)
The news of an outbreak in Brooklyn Park came on the heels of national studies suggesting that the carelessness of many restaurants workers and their employers puts the public at risk.

Flood Insurance:
Information on the Mandatory Purchase Requirement
T-RCED-92-86: Published: Jul 27, 1992. Publicly Released: Jul 27, 1992.
Additional Materials:
- Full Report:
(202) 512-4800
Pursuant to a congressional request, GAO discussed its review of compliance with the flood insurance mandatory purchase requirement, focusing on: (1) the extent of compliance; (2) the reasons for noncompliance; and (3) the financial risk to the federal government from noncompliance. GAO noted that: (1) the Federal Disaster Protection Act of 1973 requires the purchase of flood insurance for any federal loan or grant for the acquisition or construction of a structure in a designated special flood hazard area; (2) most properties studied are exempt from flood insurance requirements; (3) it could not determine the reason for the large disparity in the compliance rate between the two states it studied; (4) the Federal Insurance Administration is concerned over the possibility of substantial noncompliance, while the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation and the Federal Reserve System say noncompliance is not a major problem; (5) lender error is the most frequent reason for noncompliance; and (6) the federal government incurs greater costs due to noncompliance because uninsured property owners seek subsidized low interest loans from the Small Business Administration or grants from the Federal Emergency Management Agency to restore their losses.
