Authorities Apprehen Federal Fugitive
(Le Mars) -- At about 3:00 p.m. Friday, Deputy United States Marshals and the Woodbury County Task Force Officers from the Northern Iowa Fugitive Task Force attempted to arrest Geovany Gonzales-Gonzales at a rural residence on K-18 South in Plymouth County.
Gonzalez-Gonzales was wanted for failing to appear as ordered for a court hearing. Gonzalez-Gonzalez was originally charged with drug trafficking. Upon making contact with family members at the residence, Marshals were informed that Gonzales-Gonzales was in the house and had a .380 pistol in his possession. Gonzalez-Gonzalez was ordered out of his residence, however refused to surrender. Family members indicated that Gonzalez-Gonzalez was suicidal.
U.S. Marshals requested the assistance of the Plymouth/Sioux/Le Mars Police tactical team to assist with the arrest. Iowa State Patrol officers as well as the Tactical Team and the Woodbury County Sheriff's Office arrived to assist. At about 7:30 p.m. an Iowa State Patrol negotiator, negotiated the safe surrender of Gonzalez-Gonzalez to law enforcement personnel. Gonzalez-Gonzalez was booked into the Woodbury County Jail pending further court hearings.
Officers at the scene were assisted by Siiouxland Paramedics and the Akron Fire Department.

Map (Click to enlarge)
Created in: Gimp
Our latest featured map, The Domains of Heva and Surrounding Lands, is drawn by Helium3. Helium3's objective was to create a map in the style of a coloured woodcut. The final result is a beautiful amalgam of Japanese Ukioye, traditional European Woodcut and Fantasy. The outstanding points to this map are the cartographer's individual style and the beautiful simplicity of the composition.
Artists Notes
I suppose you could say that I started working on this map in January of 2007, when I put together a piece for ENWorld's map contest for their War of the Burning Sky campaign saga. I decided pretty early on while doing that piece that I wanted something that looked sort of like a medieval woodcut print. I did some google searching to get a better idea of what that might look like and stumbled across the famous Hokusai print "The Great Wave off Kanagawa." I had seen that image many times before but when I saw it this time, I knew that I wanted my map to have bold colors with no shading other than what could be done with black ink-like lines.
I was never very happy with my WotBS entry and kept playing with ways to make what I was imagining in my head real. After playing around I eventually fixed most of what I didn't like about the original piece by:
(1) Discovering the GIMP software package and using it to finally get my line based shading right (big thanks to S. John Ross for his tutorial on how to make woodcut style water.)
(2) Realizing how critical it is to keep the thickness of your line's consistent, even if you draw something larger and then scale it down.
(3) Working out a procedure that allowed me to draw something in Inkscape and then render it into what looked like a hand-drawn line, even though it wasn't.
As for what the map depicts, it's the basic starting map for a 3.5 edition D&D game I'll probably start running in January. I'm putting together a website for my players that will contain all the necessary character generation content. One of the things they'll need to decide on is where their characters are from, this map is for that section. Also, because I did it in an SVG program, I'll be able to zoom in and use it for smaller regional maps and other things.
I'm not quite sure what my next project is going to be. I just got a cheap copy of Illustrator CS2 off EBay and I'm itching to see what I can do with that package. I've got a couple of maps I need to put together for my Heva campaign, but there are some other maps I've wanted to work on just to play around. Only time will tell. I've been really impressed by the stuff that TheRedEpic has been posting lately, and I'm desperate to see if I can put together something that looks even a quarter as good. But, it would be a completely new style for me, which means another year or so to get to a point where I'm producing something I even like.

text: Sony Ericsson Xperia Play review Mobile Phone Reviews 06 April 11 by Dave Oliver Sony Ericsson 7/10 Wired rating Wired PS3-style controls, Stonkingly good screen, Fast processing Android 2.3, A-GPS, Wi-Fi, 5.1 megapixel camera, Flash video support Tired Too many poorly optimised games, Buying games is more complicated than it needs to be, heavy handset Price From free on contract Now here's a thing, a phone that you can play games on -- whatever next? But this isn't just any old games phone, it's the first ever PlayStation-certified smart phone.It's a chunky piece of kit at 119x62x16mm and 175g, certainly compared to the waif-like lines of its sister device, the Xperia Arc. Beneath the large 102mm (4-inch) screen there's a thin sliver of buttons for the standard Android controls: back, home, menu and search, but it's immediately obvious that this is no ordinary phone. On either side of the side-mounted volume rocker there are two buttons labelled "L" and "R", and their purpose becomes clear when you slide the phone open to reveal, not a keyboard, but mini PS3 controls, with direction keys on the left, and the familiar shape function keys on the right. The thumbstick controls have been replaced by two touch-sensitive D-pads and those side-mounted controls become front-mounted finger controls.Sony Ericsson is very keen to point out that this is no PSP-lite. It's a fully fledged smart phone running the very latest Android 2.3 OS -- it just happens to be optimised for gaming.And sure enough, there are lots of good things here. The 102mm multitouch screen offers sharp 854x480-pixel resolution and looks great. It may not have the Bravia engine of the Xperia Arc, or the super-sharp AMOLED credentials of the Samsung Galaxy S, but it's really not very far behind.The Android 2.3 Gingerbread operating system has had a skim with Sony Ericsson's own Xperia user interface, which retains the Android widgets and icons functionality, but they look distinctively different, and there are handy items like SE's Timescape, which pulls all your social networking and messaging updates together in one place. You can also pull icons on top of each other to create folders of related functions.With Android 2.3 now supporting dual cameras, there's a VGA camera on the front so in theory you can make video calls, but in practise you can't make them via your network, just the internet, with a third party app like Fring from the Android Market.The Android browser now supports Flash video, which is very welcome, and has been optimised to run faster than previous versions. The Play may not have a headline-grabbing dual core processor, but the 1GHz model on board doesn't hold back and we never got the feeling the handset was being sluggish, not even in the midst of hectic gameplay.The 5-megapixel camera includes LED flash, autofocus and additional focus modes, including macro. It's not big on fancy features but picture quality is generally good with sharp edges and accurate colours. It comes with an 8GB microSD card to store your pics, vids and tunes, which you can bump up to 32GB if you feel the need. So far, so good, but what does it play like? Well, this is where things aren't quite as good as they should be. The gaming experience really is very similar to the PS3 -- despite having only one pair of front buttons, pretty much everything's where you would expect and gameplay is intuitive if you're already a PS3 or PSP user. Specifications Operating system Android 2.3 Memory microSD (8GB on board, 32GB max) Ports Micro USB, 3.5mm headphones Size 119 x 62 x 16mm Weight 175g Display 4in 854x480-pixel multitouchcapacitive Camera 5.1-megapixel with LED Flash, autofocus,geo-tagging, VGA camera on front Read page 2 12 Read on one page Latest on wired.co.uk

Catlike Whisper Plus Helmet $0.00
The Whisper Plus is Catlike's top shelf offering, the model used by MoviStar on the international race calendart. It's visually notable in that its design is very organic, as if modeled after a honeycomb or interconnecting bubbles. In truth, it's sculpted for serious airflow with its 39 vents and dual flow technology. Even at slow speeds, a huge amount of air can enter the helmet in the front and top vents, pass over your head, and exit out the back. In addition to its iconic design, it's known for this efficient cooling effect.
Catlike uses an in-mold process to create the shell and foam liner as a one piece structure when the helmet is formed. The slick outer shell adds abrasion resistance and lets the helmet slide instead of sticking and jerking when you hit the ground. ...The rubberized strap is soft and pliable—up, down, and around, theWhisper Plus can comfortably accommodate...And even though it's very light, their crash energy splitter (CES) technology makes sure that the energy of a crash is diffused across multiple nerves or ribs between the vents.
Catlike did their homework when they designed the MPS (multi position system) suspension. It uses a rubberized plastic strap that attaches into (and pivots from) a socket in the shell of the helmet at the temple. It follows along the side of your head and curves around towards the back, where it hangs from the nylon web straps. The rubberized strap is soft and pliable, so it never gets crimped or warped in your gear bag, and it always conforms to your natural shape. The MPS suspension has two lateral adjusters that have a push button release on a ratchet strap that connects across the back of the head to allow for circumferential adjustment, and the whole system slides up and down on the rearward web straps. So up, down, and around, the Whisper Plus can comfortably accommodate.
The Catlike Whisper Plus Helmet is available in Cervelo White, Matte Black, Red/White, Rainbow, White/Carbon, and White. It comes in three sizes -- Small, Medium, and Large.
Please note: US Catlike dealers are prohibited from shipping Catlike Helmets outside of the United States.

Lightweight, good-looking lid
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
I've worn multiple helmet models from multiple makers over the last 18 years - Bell, Giro, Briko, you name it. I've never owned a Catlike until now and can honestly say its the best helmet I've owned. I find the venting better than top-end models from other makers, its comfortable, lightweight and fits my head perfectly. As another reviewer mentioned, the retention system looks a little simplistic, but it actually performs better than some other companies' designs.
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
I own a Bell Volt, Giro Atmos and Catlike Mixino along with my Catlike Whisper Plus, and I can honestly say that the Whisper Plus is the most comfortable helmet of the lot. It's certainly not the lightest as the Mixino takes that spot. However, what it lacks in the "lightweight" category is more than made up for in the "comfort" category. In other words, it fits my head like a glove. The Mixino and Atmos feel very similar in that they both put pressure on the side of my head. They're more suited for someone with an oblong / elliptical-shaped head, while the Whisper Plus is more suited for someone with a rounder head (when viewed from the top). Aside from the comfort, the Whisper Plus is very distinctive as it doesn't look like any other helmet in the market. What's not to like?
However, If I were being nit picky, I would say that the rear band adjuster on the Whisper Plus is not the easiest to operate. I prefer the micro-dial adjuster on the Mixino and Atmos. Other than that, I'm pretty happy with my Whisper Plus. So happy, in fact, that I ended up buying another one tonight.
Exceeded expectations.
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
Have been a Specialized helmet wearer over the last decade. Before that GIRO. Always bought the top-level helmets in both brands when on sale.
Saw these helmets being use in the Tour De France by a few different teams and thought they were worth a look as I was due for a new 'pot'.
I have a small skull (Size 7-1/4) and have always wore a small in Specialized and GIRO. A small in this helmet fit just fine. The ventilation is better than any other helmet I have owned and the fit very comfortable. There are a myriad of adjustments for rear restraint and straps. Little hard to dial-in but work just fine once ya do. Bought white with World Champion striping. A little different and pretty stylish without screaming BIKE GEEK/POSER!!!
Bought the helmet @ 50% off here at Backcountry. WELL worth it, maybe even at full price. Get some.
Great lightweight lid
When I first got the Whisper Plus I was unimpressed at first glance. The simple sizing closure at the rear seemed chincy and not the quality that I expected. Getting the straps dialed to my head wasn't the easiest either. But once I got it dialed and took it for a spin, all of my reservations were put to rest. This thing is made light and simple for a reason. I dont even feel it on my head. The slender lines of the size adjustments above the ears and back of the head are minimal, which provides a great fit with glasses that cover the same temple area. I am a fan and would recommend to anyone looking for a lightweight streamline helmet.

Catlike (PERFECT) Plus
Excellent, i'm so comfortable with this buy, the helmet is beautiful and it is perfect to my head. Whisper Plus has nice adjustment and it is so fresh.

This helmet has better air flow than others I have tried. Just the ticket for summer heat.
Middle bike, there's the Catlike
In from the ride.
Catlike Movistar
I smashed my beautiful new las helmet in a hard fall. It was a Tuesday and managed to get home. Found this catlike at a great deal from here and ordered it Tuesday afternoon. It arrived Thurssday Noon. Incredible service.
The Helmet is light, and fits perfectly. The size is accurate, so don't under estimate the size of your noggin.
Doe's it come with a visor?
Doe's it come with a visor?
Lots of air flow, not much sweat
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
This is a superb bike helmet, the best I have ever worn. I've been wearing the size small for two months now and have put about 700 miles on it.
In those 700 miles, I haven't had a single drop of sweat make it past the brow of the helmet and down to my eyes, and I sweat like a nun in a whorehouse. I think this must have to do with the airflow but maybe it's the fit of the helmet on my forehead. My hair gets wet with sweat, but no extra drops make it out of the helmet. The airflow is just outstanding. I do have a theoretical worry about a bee getting turbo blasted into my scalp but so far this hasn't happened.
I've worn this thing for as long as 6 hours without headaches and I wasn't dying to take it off. The helmet is light and doesn't block my field of view.
My only nitpick is that the buckles that hold the strap together just below your ear is a bit flimsy and sometimes the camming part of the buckle pops off if you are making an adjustment. If you dial in this adjustment at home then you don't have to worry about it.
This helmet might favor those with a roundish head. My head mostly makes contact in the front and back and less so on the sides, so if you have a more oval head it may not feel so secure on your noggin.
I have the 2011 version but I don't see any difference in the 2012 except for that it comes with a cocoon to protect your "investment".
OK. Time to follow up on this helmet. I crashed into a car and flew over the hood and landed on the asphalt face and collarbone first. I heard a crack but I thought it was my cheek or collarbone. Came home, took a shower and looked over the helmet. Sure enough it was cracked fore and aft. I hadn't even realized that my helmet hit, but that Whisper Plus did kiss the pavement and kept my skull from doing so. Thank you Cateye. I can still tie my shoes and feed myself!
Excellent helmet, but too small
I really wished I could have kept this helmet, but even the large size was too small. I use a Large Giro which goes up to 63cm, but the Large Catlike only goes up to 61cm :-(
hey, what happened, buy a helmet with rainbow but does not look like the picture on your page
What would this be like on a rainy day?...
What would this be like on a rainy day? I've an image in mind with me having my new helmet on with my mother's blue hair net thing that keeps her hair dry while showering, overtop of the helmet as so much water is flowing through all those holes?
Could be a cool new look HOWEVER, not sure if I want to start the trend here on the "Wet Coast", Vancouver, B.C.
My husband has this helmet. It doesn't have any more ventilation/holes than any other bike helmet. If you're wearing a road cycling style helmet, there are vent holes in the top and you're going to get wet if it rains. He says it's very comfortable and lightweight, although the fit is a little different than typical Bell/Giro helmets so you should measure your head to find the size rather than just buying your regular size. Or maybe try it on in a shop before ordering.
P.S. The look is not new. The Tour de France riders have been wearing this style for about three years, though it hasn't been available from North American retailers until a little more recently.

Raw Pancakes!Wednesday, January 23rd, 2013
Last week I met Leah, my chef that worked for me at Grezzo, for dinner in the North End of Boston. It was all very nostalgic as we were reminiscing about Grezzo and all of the memories of the people that used to come in and the great times we had there. And of course we talked about the food! So the next day I was inspired to make the pancake recipe that's in our book. There are so many incredible recipes in Raw Food for Everyone but this one is so easy and there's no planning ahead. You may want to make a double batch though as they are hard to resist!
Morning, Noon, and Night Pancakes
When you want pancakes for breakfast or dinner, try these. These pancakes are the real deal. They have a maple-pecan flavor and the fluffy texture of real pancakes. Since they're dehydrated ahead of time, keep some on hand for a quick breakfast or dinner.
Makes 10 pancakes
2 cups pecans, soaked for 4 hours
2 cups pine nuts
2 ripe bananas
1 cup agave nectar
Seeds from 2 vanilla beans
1 teaspoon sea salt
2 cups blueberries, muddled
1. Put the soaked pecans and any remaining soaking liquid, pine nuts, bananas, agave, vanilla, salt, and ½ cup water in a Vita-Mix. Blend until smooth. Using a spatula, fold in the muddled blueberries.
2. With a ladle, drop ½ -cup measures of the batter onto Teflex-line dehydrator racks, leaving at least ½ inch between the pancakes. They should be thick like pancakes, about ½ inch thick, not thin like crêpes. Dehydrate for 8 hours. Flip the pancakes onto clean Teflex sheets and dehydrate for 8 more hours.
3. Cover and refrigerate up to 3 days.

Larry the Cable Guy Comedy Tickets
Larry the Cable Guy Tickets. Happier than a Tornado in a Trailer Park
Larry the Cable Guy has made a great name for himself as the wildly comical blue-collar comedian that tells it like it is then shuffles off for a donut to chew on and reflect on the way the world is changing. Larry the Cable Guy tickets will have you giggling like a loon, as this hilarious fellow in the too-low pants sits down and gives you the not-so-skinny on how people are. Larry the Cable Guy tickets are awesome. Daniel Whitney, one of the original Blue Collar Comedians, has literally made a living from his depiction of the southern working-class chucklehead, who thinks he always has it right but might be slightly askew in his conclusions. Larry's delivery is timing-perfect, and his facial expression, which some say never changes, is enough to send you silly with laughter. When you buy Larry the Cable Guy tickets you'll see both aspects of this routine - one is the cable guy character, and the other is the Daniel Whitney that knows he is making big money from his exploits, and occasionally allows the audience into his "real" thoughts, which are just as funny as his Cable Guy thoughts, if a lot more subtle. Buy Larry the Cable Guy tickets and laugh your head loose. Don't miss it, or you'll be madder than a Republican at a hybrid car factory, that's how mad you'll be right thur!

Considering that charging over USB can take around 5 hours (to only 1-2 hours it would take from the wall mounted plug), can it be harmful for the smartphone battery if it's always charged from USB?
I don't see how the duration of the charge would relate to whether or not it's harmful to the smartphone. I have never seen any documentation that keeping a phone plugged in perpetually (whether plugged into USB, AC or DC) would cause any harm to the phone itself. An argument could be made that it's harmful to the battery.
Constant charging is not generally a problem for Lithium Ion Polymer batteries (which most new cell phone batteries are). It is in fact better to frequently charge them, and not let them fully discharge.
One factor that does degrade the battery life of all Lithium Ion batteries is heat. The more heat it's exposed to the faster it will lose capacity, so I can see how keeping it plugged in may keep it warmer longer and theoretically degrade the battery life.
Here are a couple good resources discussing battery life:

How to Intall AutoMeter Gauges - Modified MonitorWritten by on January 21, 2014 It's Functional, Cool, and Now the Gauges Work in our '66 Barracuda
What's the one thing in every car that you can't live without? If you said a cup holder, air conditioning, or leather interior, you might not be a real car guy. OK, I didn't really mean that, or did I? What I am talking about is the dash and gauge cluster. If you don't have gauges, bad things can happen, and you won't know about it until it's too late. But, how long do you think that the factory gauges in your classic ride will last? If your car was built in 1966, that means that it's 48 years old. Personally, I don't consider 48 that old -- my kids do, but me, not so much. Nevertheless, at 48 years old, are they as accurate as they were when new? Do they function at all? What if they're a little slow to react? Well, it might be time for a face lift. Remember, I'm talking about the gauges in the car.
We encountered just such an aged condition with a '66 Barracuda. The bezel was completely faded, the gauges -- well, they looked like gauges, didn't even work (speedometer was dead, oil pressure pegged and never moved, and the fuel gauge was a crap shoot). It was definitely time for a rebuild.
There are a couple of ways that you can do this. If you're restoring your car to factory original, you can have the gauge cluster rebuilt to look and work like new. If your building a modified car, the sky's the limit. In our case, the Barracuda was being built as a cool modified driver, so we were able to give the dash a modified touch, we just needed to figure out how. If you have the tools and the capability, you can build a custom bezel to house new gauges, but if you don't have the tools, having it made for you could get costly. The option we chose was to figure out how to install a set of aftermarket gauges in the factory bezel. Since each factory gauge is round, we figured that a set of simple round gauges could be made to work in the bezel, so that's what we decided to do. Now all we needed was to decided what gauges to use.
Plug it Where?
When you look at the above image, you're probably wondering where the speedometer cable gets plugged in. In this case, it doesn't...the gauge is entirely electronic. Now, that doesn't mean that you can't use it in your classic Mopar. AutoMeter has the parts that you need to connect the gauge to your existing cable, or, you can go hi-tech like we did.
It was really an easy decision. AutoMeter gauges have been building gauges for a long time, and they just released their Mopar-branded pieces. Our factory bezel has four small openings (fuel, oil, ammeter, and temperature), and two large openings (fuel and a performance/vacuum gauge). Once we figured out which gauges we needed, it was time mount them to the bezel, and get 'em in the car. Check out how we did it.

|Water temperature

Modern Family and In the Middle: Telling it Like it is.
by Meredith O'Brien
As they've become the entertainment highlights of my week – the one hour when I'm guaranteed to enjoy several laughs of the out loud variety – Modern Family and The Middle have slowly evolved into comedic high-water marks for the 21st century family sitcom.
In every episode, issues large and small are addressed, demonstrating that the writers for these shows, the Emmy-winning Modern Family and the underdog The Middle, truly get what it's like to raise kids in this environment where we're surrounded by everything from overachieving Tiger Moms who take parenting to the extreme to overprotective helicopter parents, while we're dealing with the ever-increasing load of burden that's placed upon parents to be involved in every single thing each child does.
Modern Family, which I think is on its way to becoming The Cosby Show of this decade, has tackled a wide range of child-rearing issues and almost all of them with humor, intelligence and sensitivity. The main couple, Claire and Phil Dunphy, have coped with the hellacious horror of having their three kids burst in on them in flagrante delicto in one of the funniest Modern Family episodes I've seen (confirming for me the notion that when you attend a baby shower for a first-time mother, giving her a lock for her bedroom door might not be such a bad gift idea). When they're not acting defensive in front of their children about their bedroom antics, Phil and Claire try to be on the same page regarding discipline issues, like last season when they threatened to cancel Christmas – even went so far as to remove the Christmas tree from the family room – in order to suss out which kid had been playing with matches and left a burn mark on the sofa. Only problem with their tough parenting approach was that they later discovered the kids were entirely innocent.

have you made some way to set a default layout for all outgoing mails? Companies want a nice layout, but don't want employees to change this.
It should be possible to set an HTML layout but also a plain text layout. Eg: you specify a signature on company level and the name and emailadress in the signature are replaced by that from the user.

NEW YORK (AP) -- Nielsen says an estimated 20.6 million people watched President Barack Obama's second inauguration on TV, sharply down from his first inaugural.
The company that measures television audience said that 37.8 million people saw Obama's first inauguration in 2009.
Nielsen said on Wednesday that a total of 18 networks aired some part of this year's inaugural ceremony on Monday.

Cut Marshall Tax Levy Rate
February 2, 2013
Despite an enormous increase in Marshall County's tax base, the board of education refused to reduce levy rates last year....
With all of the tax money that counties around here are raking in from the gas and oil companies all levied taxes should go down and services should increase or at least get better. What are these people ( commisioners )doing with this money???

I shot shuttle T's last year and loved them. I have also shot Montec's and Magnus 2 blades they were both great heads as well.
I shot shuttle T's last year and loved them. I have also shot Montec's and Magnus 2 blades they were both great heads as well.
I use the slick trick 100gr. so far no complaints.
I am very impressed with Magnus Stinger 4blade 100gr. Cut on contact design is a must for me. Amazed with field point accuracy at 327fps and penetration on elk has been perfect. Great blood trails. Sharp out of the box and very easy to resharpen and get crazy sharp.
I'm hoping my 11 non-resident points in Wyoming gets me a Moose tag this year. I've been trying to decide which broadhead to trust. I used to be a Thunderhead 100 fan. Then all these new ones hit the market. So I tried g5 montec's about 5 or 6 years ago, they may have changed now but then you needed to sharpen them right out of the package. I lost a monster elk in Wyoming that year, great hit poor penatration, then a 24 hour thunder storm came in and I'm still in therapy losing that one.
So then I bought the Rage. I like how they fly, but I'm concern, I've had the blades open up in the quiver. I've never shot anything with the Rage yet, but I don't think I want my first animal with them to be a big Moose. I've thought about going back to the Thunderheads, but you never hear anything about them anymore. So any great advise would be awesome.
G5 montec 100 grain!!
Can you handle the challenge.... hunt hard but safe!!
I've been using Magnus Buzzcuts for the past 4 years, but I am planning on switching to Silver Flames this year. The "Original" Silver Flames are going back into production in Germany again and should be available in mid-April.....Confirmed this with Markus. He has transferred the ownership of German-Kinetics to a friend , but he will be consulting on the designs.....Just as good as him making them!!
I've shot Thunderhead 100's for years and killed a bunch of elk and deer with them with never had a complaint. For some reason a couple years ago I decided I needed to try something new so I broke out the wallet and bought some Shuttle T's. They fly great but the animals I have shot with them (Roosevelt Elk, Mule Deer and Black Bear) all bled much less than with my old standby's. I have no idea why or if it was just a few fluke deals but I am going back the Thunderheads that never let me down. I have two elk vertebra with Thunderhead 100's stuck in them (both from follow up shots) that show how tough they are! If I get ambitious I will post a picture or two of those...
I shoot NAP Thunderhead 125's. Have killed a few animals with them and they do the trick plus you can get six for $40. Will probably never switch to anything else. My wife shoots the NAP crossfire 100-seems to be a decent head as well at least on deer just a bit noisy is our only complaint.
My experience is shooting Whitetails so I don't know if my opinion matters here (be nice). I shot Montec G5s and LOVED them. They had a great penetration holes as well as exit holes. You do have to sharpen them, but you do that on a flat stone because of the cutting angles. They're easy to maintain. I switched to 2 Blade Rages two years ago and LOVE them even more. They'll leave a 2" slice at entry, exit and everything in between. They fly like field points. I've never adjusted a sight after sighting a bow in with field points. I've got to believe all mechanical broadheads are at risk of being open after removing them from a quiver. The Rages are well worth the hassle in my opinion."huntnrich - So I tried g5 montec's about 5 or 6 years ago, they may have changed now but then you needed to sharpen them right out of the package. I lost a monster elk in Wyoming that year, great hit poor penatration...So then I bought the Rage. I like how they fly, but I'm concern, I've had the blades open up in the quiver. I've never shot anything with the Rage yet, but I don't think I want my first animal with them to be a big Moose."
So I'm wondering, with thicker tough hided animals like Moose, does it matter how tough the hide is if the broadheads are razor sharp? Penetration is determined by kinetic energy which is determined by speed and weight of the projectile? By changing broadhead designs, you're not altering the kinetic energy unless you change grains. In comparing razor sharp blades to dull blades, the same amount of energy will push an arrow further through the resistive hide with a sharp blade all the while cutting veins in the process instead of pushing them out of the way. Hopefully that relates to an exit hole to allow more blood to spill out in order to facilitate an easier tracking job and a more likely recovery. My thoughts go to shooting accurately, consistently and using razor sharp blades.
I switched from Rage 2 blades to G5 Striker 100s last year after a friend had a Rage fail on a nice 6 pt bull. I haven't shot anything with them yet but I know they are tough, I put one through a fence picket after it glanced off the top of my target and it was fine, just needed touched up a little. But even after going through a fence it was still a lot sharper than Rages are out of the package. I like the design of the Montecs but I went with the Striker because they are so sharp from the factory and I can just replace blades if I need to.

Our scientists
Here we profile some of the scientists from IUCN's network who are attending the CITES conference. They work closely with the plant and animal species being discussed at the meeting and provide the latest biological knowledge essential for allowing governments to make well-informed and scientifically-based decisions.
Meet the shark's advocate
Although they spark fear in many people, sharks in fact have more reasons to be afraid of people. Deputy-Chair of IUCN Shark Specialist Group, Sonja Fordham, has devoted her life and career to protecting sharks from irresponsible human activity and to securing a better future for the much-maligned creatures. Her work has focused on promoting sound shark fishing limits and bans on the wasteful practice of 'finning' – slicing off a shark's valuable fins and discarding the body at sea. …

This Is 40 (2012)
This Is 40 SynopsisFive years after writer/director Judd Apatow introduced us to Pete and Debbie in Knocked Up, Paul Rudd and Leslie Mann reprise their roles as a husband and wife both approaching a milestone meltdown in This Is 40, an unfiltered, comedic look inside the life of an American family.
After years of marriage, Pete lives in a house of all females: wife Debbie and their two daughters, eight-year-old Charlotte (Iris Apatow) and 13-year-old Sadie (Maude Apatow). As he struggles to keep his record label afloat, he and Debbie must figure out how to forgive, forget and enjoy the rest of their lives...before they kill each other.
In his fourth directorial outing, Apatow's new comedy captures what it takes for one family to flourish in the middle of a lifetime together.
What emerges is a deeply honest portrait of the challenges and rewards of marriage and parenthood in the modern age. Through the filmmaker's unblinking lens, we follow one couple's three-week navigation of sex and romance, career triumphs and financial hardships, aging parents and maturing children.

(WUSA) -- For a lot of workers, the grass always seems greener on the other side. A higher salary can make other jobs sound more attractive than your current position, but they could also be very stressful jobs.
Consider this: CareerCast has released a list of the least stressful jobs.
1. University professor -- few reasons why: high growth opportunities, low health risks and good pay.
The median annual salary for a professor is $62,000 with salaries at some top universities pushing $200,000.
2. Seamstress or a tailor -- the median salary of less than $30,000, but the payoff is that seamstresses and tailors are able to be creative, often work in quiet environments, and physical demands are low.
3. Medical records technician -- the pay is just over $30,000 a year, but this is a growing profession.
4. Jeweler.
5. Medical lab technician.
There are a couple of other jobs to consider if you want a low-stress environment: audiologists, dietitians, hair stylists, librarians and drill press operator.

Sounds like a Vortex razor 65 HD might be in your future. I will be checking this model out soon (I hope). I have used the 85HD a lot, and it compares to the best in many ways.
Initial reports on the 65mm are quite positive. Time will tell.
If you don't mind hauling 4 pounds around, the Meopta S2 spotter is absolutely top shelf in every way (except for the eyepiece cover), but will still cost you $2K.
Deals can be found on the ATM/ATS 65HD, which would also be a great choice.

Despite running several marathons around the world, I found this event unique because the race started in the afternoon and finished at night in front of The Mirage Hotel in the middle of the Las Vegas Strip. Given the high altitude and dry heat, it was a challenging competition. Below is a picture of me at the start line.
The following day, I met with the recruiting team from Zappos, which is well-known for giving private tours of their headquarters to anyone interested in their culture and operations. I had heard about the tour after reading Tony Hsieh's book, Delivering Happiness.
In many ways, Zappos offers the typical culture of a start-up: young, informal, and with an open-plan. No one in the flat organization has an office, and food and drinks are free. Not surprisingly, you can find these attributes among many tech start-ups in both Silicon Valley or in New York City.
However, here is what I found to be most unusual about Zappos:
1. Nearly 3½ years after being acquired by Amazon, Zappos still operates fairly independently of its owner. In 2013, Amazon will take over the fulfillment and warehousing of Zappos' merchandise in Kentucky, near the UPS hub. That is the only influence Amazon exercised over Zappos.
2. The Executive Corner is called the "Monkey Row." See below.
3. If you want the inside scoop on Zappos' culture, you must read its annual culture book, which is produced by Zappos' employees. The content, except for typos and spelling errors, is unedited, providing the public an opportunity to read about the good, the bad, and the ugly.
4. There is no standard, annual, base-salary increase for just "being there." Learning, development, and self-improvement are highly encouraged, and acquiring news skills is the path to increasing your compensation. For example, their royalty program empowers employees, with the help of a full-time life coach, to "Get Off Your Butt" and go through a personal growth experience via a professional or personal challenge.
Once employees have achieved their goals, they get to be part of the "Goal Club Wall" in the company's main staircase:
5. They do not track many KPIs. Their call center is not data-driven. They do not measure talk time or drop rate. In fact, there is little focus on profit, shockingly for a company that generated more than $1B in annual sales.
6. Finally, CEO Tony Hsieh's number-one concern is employee satisfaction and improving his employees' happiness.
Regardless if you agree with the Zappos approach, it is definitively a unique culture that is not for everyone. So, if you plan to work there, get ready to drink the Zappos "Kool-Aid." But, what cannot be argued is the fact that they have built a phenomenally successful e-commerce operation that produces value for its stakeholders and its ecosystem.

Local is the focus on "sustainability day"
Dining hall partnered with local restaurant to bring sustainable food to campus.
April 23—Last week at Mary Baldwin College, in Staunton, Va., dining services held a "Sustainability Today" event to bring awareness to local purchasing.
The dining hall use the day to showcase as much locally-produced product as possible. The dining hall chef teamed up with a Staunton restaurant to bring the local food to the college. The idea was to help students branch out to try new foods and that can also support local farmers.

Notes: Trey teased Super Bad in 2001. Saw It Again contained an extended jam. Piper included a distinct Birds of a Feather tease, several months before the song actually debuted. The jam after Caspian ended bore a similarity to Llama. Antelope contained a Buried Alive tease from Trey. The opening act was J. Willis Pratt & We're Bionic.

Songs by Debut Year:
This show was part of the "1997 Fall Tour (a.k.a. Phish Destroys America)."
The second set has what looks like a really pedestrian setlist, but rises above that handicap in fine Fall '97 fashion. Saw It Again (much like Carini tends to) rumbles and snarls and then morphs into a slower jam that lets Trey abuse his guitar during the solo. The jam then cools out, almost ambient style, before Piper rises out of the ashes. And this Piper is a upper percentile version, as the Piper jam gets fast and furious (you can hear Mike's bass, somewhat muddy in the AUD version, working double time), then starts peeling off layers and goes double time for a hot minute, then shifts back into hard rocking mode, *then* cools down and lets Page drive the car, THEN rips back into another ferocious jam before finally relaxing and heading into Swept Away. There's a lot going on in this Piper, and it should be heard to be believed; it's a fine companion to the beloved 7/6/98 version. Swept Away/Steep are a nice breather for both band and audience...and then they go into Prince Caspian.
Caspian is usually not my first choice for second set jam vehicle, but (like 9/1/12) it actually works out, as Caspian's usual jam leads into a gigantic big-rock-arena freakout and a Llama-style rockfest, but with more facets than Llama tends to have; much like the previous Piper jam, the group modulates the jam's energy between Llama-esque machine gun fire and rein-back-the-stallions slow burning, before a chilled out finale that mixes guitar noise and moody space. And from this space comes a segue directly into Izabella; no, it's not 12/6's segue (what is???), but it'll do in a pinch and Izabella is as awesome as it always is (plus Trey remembers more lyrics!). And the encore brings some heat, too, especially a quicksilver Antelope that maps no new terrain but closes out the show in fine fashion. This may not be in the upper echelon of Fall '97 sets, but it has a big must-hear jam, which alone makes it worth a download.
Set 2: Saw It Again[1] -> Piper[2] > Swept Away > Steep > CaspianPrince Caspian > Jam[3] -> Izabella, TweepriseTweezer Reprise
This show is easily in my top 5 of the 97 fall tour. I wasn't sure what to excpect after a solid show in Rochester that was not like any other show from fall 97. Would they get right back to the funk after a night off? Affirmative!
They start thigs off with is with out a doubt the funkiest funcky bitch ever! Next up is a long, slinky 2001 that refuses to allow you to stop shaking your money maker. Good stuff. As 2001 comes to an end Trey brings out Camel Walk much to the delight of the crowd. I caught the Darien Camel and must say the Albany version did a little more for me. Mushrooms? Problably. The rest of the set is good but nothing like the opening 3 vollies.
Set 2 is simply incredible. Not a dull moment here folks. Each song is given a full workout especially the Piper and Caspian. Monsters I tell you. Everybody rags on Caspain but I personally love it (most of the time). The jam tacked on at the end makes this my favorite of all time. Double encore done deal.
Do yourself a favor and give this one a listen. If your short on time go straight to the second set. You won't be dissappointed!
Not only is Willis a good buddy of mine, to this day, from my glorious Goddard College years, but I had the distinct honor of "filling in" for Jon Fishman on drums for two We're Bionic shows. One was in the Design Center at Goddard. I was terrified, rightfully, that people would not accept me as a worthy substitute, but Willlis and the guys assured me. I did the best I could, and the people really seemed to enjoy it.
Willis has been working on his music for a long time, has poured his heart and soul into it, and is still working on it to this day. He deserves far more attention.

text: By Vince CarrigSports Writer Shania Metcalf finished off a fourth quarter give-and-go to separate her Lady Plainsmen from the Sandhills-Thedford Lady Knights and gained a championship plaque with her team for winning the 2012 Perkins County Booster Club's Holiday Tournament on Saturday in Grant. Metcalf and starting freshman guard Brandie Ross along with sophomore forward Courtney Ostermiller all drained two free throws per person in the final quarter to seal the 45-37 win. Just two points divided the teams after three quarters, but two of Michi Prante's game-high 13 points in the form of a six-foot baseline jumper allowed Perkins County to throttle the Lady Knights. The Sandhills-Thedford girls closed the game by missing seven shots, forcing the Lady Knights to foul Perkins County players to stop the clock and try to get the ball back. The 7-3 Lady Knights' Taylor Marten led her team with 10 points, including the deposit of an inbound pass to bring them as close to winning as they would ever get, trailing by two points at 36-34. Senior forward Matisyn Humphrey's power move to the basket and score despite a foul gave Perkins County a 28-25, third quarter lead. Lady Plainsmen guard Jessi Hoffert downed jumpers from near and far, but 6-foot-1 freshman twins Avery and Madison Taylor kept the third quarter an even affair with two putbacks and two free throws. "Humphrey had a crucial role in helping us pass and break the press. [She] and Courtney McClenahan did a good job of filling the gap with Shania [Metcalf] on the bench," Lady Plainsmen Head Coach Deanne Bishop said after the game. Michi Prante's six second quarter points turned a two-point deficit into a two-point Lady Plainsmen lead at halftime. Prante ran the floor for a close one and then dribbled out of coverage to swish a 10-foot jumper; the senior shooting guard led all scorers with 13 points. Brandie Ross kept Perkins County competitive in the first quarter, driving from the foul line to the basket for points and stealing a ball to feed Jessi Hoffert for a breakaway layup that tied the game 8-8. Guard Taylor Marten scored the Lady Knights' first four points, reaching from just inside the arc to help build an early 8-4 lead for Sandhills-Thedford. Marten led her team with 10 points; no other mate scored more than six, but eight girls in green tallied. "Our tough December schedule helped us prepare for tonight," Coach Bishop said." "Our entire bench contributed in tonight's game. This was a good win for our program," Next Action Winning the tourney improved the Perkins County girls record to 4-5. The winners of three in a row head south for a "girls only" date with 5-3 Dundy County-Stratton on Thursday and swing east to challenge 7-2 Sutherland on Saturday.Sand.-Thed. 37, PC 45Sand.-Thed. 10 8 12 7–37Perkins Co. 8 12 12 13–45 Scoring leaders–Perkins County: Prante 6FG 1/4FT–13; Metcalf 3 4/9–10; Ross 3 2/2–8; Hoffert 3–6; Humphrey 3 0/2–6; Sandhills-Thedford: Martin, T. 4 2/4–10; Taylor, A. 3–6; Simonson 3 0/1–6.

LeBron James expected a physical game in Chicago. He thought things went too far.
James calmly spoke out about the way two particular sequences were officiated Wednesday night in a game the Bulls won 101-97 to end the Miami Heat's 27-game winning streak.
He thought Kirk Hinrich went too far in taking him down with two hands in the first quarter, and that Taj Gibson also was excessive on a play in the fourth that the Heat argued was worthy of a flagrant-foul designation.
No flagrant was called, so James then collided into Carlos Boozer on the next possession, earning a flagrant-1 call of his own.
James says the level of physicality he faces in games "is getting to me a little bit."
CHICAGO (AP) -- The Miami Heat's 27-game winning streak was snapped Wednesday night by the Chicago Bulls, 101-97, when a furious comeback by LeBron James and his teammates fell short.
The Heat finished six games short of the record held by the 1971-72 Los Angeles Lakers.
Luol Deng scored 28 points, Carlos Boozer added 21 points and 17 rebounds, and the Bulls brought the Heat's pursuit of the record to a screeching halt despite another big game from James.
Miami's superstar did all he could to keep the run going, scoring 32 points in a physical final few minutes that saw the MVP even collect a flagrant foul.
The Heat hadn't lost since the Pacers beat them in Indianapolis on Feb. 1. But after grinding out some close wins lately, including a rally from 27 down in Cleveland, they simply came up short down the stretch in this one.
For the better part of two months, they were the NBA's comeback kings. They erased seven double-digit deficits during the streak. They found themselves trailing in the fourth quarter 11 times, and won them all.
Not Wednesday.
And when they walked off the floor in Chicago, they were not happy. Faces were stoic as the Heat trudged toward the locker room. James turned and glared at one fan who grabbed at his head. Meanwhile, the Bulls whooped and slapped hands with anyone they could reach, with some acknowledging that being the team that snapped the streak meant plenty.

Around the World with ATH in KC: Time for a road trip!
We've heard from fans near and far…today we'll meet fans from Alabama, Washington, Texas and Wyoming:
Joseph and Kristie are from Gadsden, Alabama. Joseph is a big fan of the Royals but he hasn't had the chance to visit Kauffman Stadium. He was thrilled when he learned that the Royals would play in Atlanta in 2010. This picture is from their first Royals game on June 19, 2010 at Turner Field. We hope you can make it to Kansas City soon!
Abigail recently moved to the Seattle-Tacoma area (look for her at Safeco when the Boys in Blue visit September 8-11). Her Dad took her to her first Royals game in 1993 and she saw George Brett tie the game with a home run. Her room is decorated with autographed memorabilia, World Series souvenirs, bobbleheads and baseball cards.
Next is Jason with his son Jeff and daughter Elyse. The family from Round Rock, Texas recently took in a game while visiting family in Kansas City. They also watch the Royals when the team is in Texas to play the Rangers. Jason, born in Kansas City, remembers watching the 1976 ALCS when he was a resident of Roswell, New Mexico. In 1985, he lived in Midland, Texas. He discovered that he could pick up the Royals Radio Network affiliate from distant Coffeyville, Kansas after 9 p.m. We've researched this and that's 506 miles as the crow flies! Jason says that Denny Matthews sounded great through the heavy static as he listened to his beloved Royals.
Finally, we heard from Matt in Laramie, Wyoming, who didn't have a picture to send. The lifelong Royals fan remembers baseball trips to Kansas City as his favorite vacations. He's been away from the area for some time – though he keeps up on radio from Wyoming. He spent some time in Louisville, Kentucky, where he cheered on the Triple-A Omaha club from behind the visiting dugout.
Thanks to these great fans who cheer on the Royals while living hundreds of miles from Kansas City!

Cartridges deplete even when not in useDespite following every step as instructed by Epson Helpdesk/ technical team, cartridge ink decreases even when printer is not in use. Surprising but check ink levels before printing & this will be confirmed. This is esp. true for black. Most of the time Cyan cartridges show empty even when cartridge is new & this calls for additional headache of following up with the supplier for a replacement.

Great Printer and the word keeper flipkart :)I ordered this printer on monday and it reached me on wednesday early morning. I was surprised to see it. The packing was solid enough to take 15-20 minutes (with knife) to open and if you are bare hands then forget the opening of packing before 1 hour. phewww.. After opening the outer packing I was amazed to see the printer sealed inside the air packets. after opening it i just plugged the printer and installed the cartridges and then i took out 3 prinouts (both colored and b/w) and 5 xerox (both colored and b/w) in just 5 minutes simultaneously... i was amazed to see the speed.. well done fl… (Expand)

Don't buy this printer > Ink guzzlertl;dr -- Don't buy this printer because it's not economical in the long run. It consumes a lot of ink and will not give you the promised print output (pages) per cartridge. You cannot print until all four color cartridges are installed, thereby forcing you to buy cartridges very frequently. Also it's very, very delicate.

Great!Great value for money. Both color and B/w printing is quite good for the money. Scan is good and so is copier. Best part is individual cartridges. Works very good in Ubuntu. For scanner I had to go to avasys.jp and install the software iscan and it works wonderfully.

worst printer evernever but this printer better to take printout outside which is cheap, only scanning is good else you need to spend a lot of money buying the ink which is not at all economical. Its false that 91N prints around 170 pages,it hardly prints around 30-40 pages. PLEASE DONT BECOME A FOOL LIKE ME TO BUY THIS :-(

May 30, 2016
WASHINGTON (AP) -- The Supreme Court says it will hear two days' worth of arguments over laws affecting gay marriage during the last week of March.
Justices on Monday announced they will hear arguments in Hollingsworth v. Perry on March 26 and United States v. Windsor on March 27.
The first case involves California's constitutional amendment that forbids same-sex marriage. The second concerns a federal law that denies gay couples who legally marry the right to obtain federal benefits available to heterosexual married couples. The court scheduled one hour's worth of arguments on each day. Justices can still extend the amount of time given to arguments in each case, however.
Nine states -- Connecticut, Iowa, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New York, Vermont, and Washington-- and the District of Columbia allow gay marriage.

Or, in Liferay and in Zimbra, i've got paths like /home /user...
It makes the apache ProxyPass impossible to manage.
Is there a way to add a context path to Zimbra.
I would like for instance all my zimbra URI to start with /mail/ ?
Thanks for your reply.

Research this on google.
CIQ Mother of all root kits.
And even your non-smart phone has similar logging. It just gets better with more smarts.
Will you unplug?
Is It Smart to have a Smart Phone?
I have a Captain Kirk type Cell Phone - Opens like a clam. It is very good as a Phone and for Text Messages as the Keys are large enough for my fingers.
I have thought about getting a Smart Phone - Looked at a few, they seem to be miniature computers - I liked the idea of larger screens - Looking at pages on the Internet is easier - Although the amount of times I would want to do this when out and about is small. Getting e-mails on the bigger screens - Yes Good.
The biggest gripe for me seems to be allowing all your personal information to be seen and used by people and organisations you do not know, not having control over your own data anymore.
Would you give total control of your computer to others? - Passwords, why bother, since you have allowed total control to someone you do not know.
