an array of new arrivals
We have an array of new arrivals. An early new crop Central, El Salvador Matalapa Estate is cupping excellent, with that buttery Bourbon-type body and balance, and floral citrus accent notes. From Brazil we have a full natural single estate arrival, Brazil Cachoeira Yellow Bourbon Dry-Process, with heavy body, low acidity, fruit and brown sugar sweetness. And we have 2 Tanzania arrivals from the Southern districts. Tanzania Hassambo Macro-Lot Peaberry is from a single cooperative and has a winey fruit tone, lower acidity, and good depth. The brighter lot is the Tanzania Nyamtimbo Peaberry lot, which is more in the "alto" range, but has dynamic winey accents too. As our special guest cupper Saul Goodyawl says, "S' all good, y'all".

Just bought more tags...so broke hunter
I was born to hunt!.............it's in my blood. Every generation of my family has hunted as far back as I know, and hopefully will continue. I would aslo call myself a poor hunter, because thats what I spend all my money on!

My wife tells me I have a serious problem, to me that is a good thing, im guessing maybe that means im a obsessed with anything hunting related
Like everyone else here, obsessed is probably an understatement. I am constantly immersed in hunting articles, books, forums...and of course, the woods.
Swift,silent,deadly,backcountry hunter...so much for i could put.
Can you handle the challenge.... hunt hard but safe!!

People in SUV's and suburbs will kill more game animals than a man with a bow, ever could.
Hunting for me isn't a passion, its an obsession. I'm dedicated, sometimes I wonder why I go to such great lengths to see trophy animals. I was born to hunt, it's in my blood as far as I go back in my family line. Nothing makes my blood rush like seeing a huge muley buck or a monster bull. God made me first to serve him and second to hunt and that's what I do.

The Lonestar Roundup - The Kontinentals' Kick-Ass Crowd-PleaserWritten by on September 1, 2009 Lonestar Roundup
Having flown out to the Lonestar Roundup last year, I was determined to drive out this time, so despite the forecast of thunderstorms for much of the journey, myself and Ryan Manson from Street Rodder magazine jumped in my '46 roadster pickup on Thursday afternoon and headed some 1,500 miles east, with not much more than a couple changes of clothes, a bag of tools, camera gear, and a scrap of paper that read "I8 to I10, turn left on 290 to Austin." Okay we had techno-whiz Manson's GPS-equipped Blackberry too, but that just showed us how far we had remaining to travel! Some 36 hours later, with a brief motel stop when it got too cold to concentrate in the middle of the night in New Mexico, and a few hours lost trying to buy steering parts on Friday morning, we rolled into Austin amid fog and damp weather, but dry.
Turns out Friday had been a washout at the Travis County Expo Center, with everybody crammed into the huge rodeo barn on site, but Saturday's weather improved by the hour, from hot and humid to sunny by late afternoon. With plenty of time to check out the vendor building, peruse the swapmeet, watch bands or the mini-bike races, or get a haircut from Rob's Chop Shop or a makeover for the girls, it made for a relaxed day if you weren't running around with a camera! Many cars and more vendors were ensconced back in the barn, which made the outside look a little empty compared to 2008, but the place was heaving, mainly with early-style rods and customs, before the action shifted into town on South Congress Avenue for the evening's cruising and hanging out.
As usual, Austin Speed Shop (which has dropped the "South" from its name) hosted an evening party, with Reverend Horton Heat playing to the crowds, before many made their way back to South Congress to party on the sidewalks. We took the opportunity to cruise, too-what's the point of bringing a car that far if we weren't going to join in?-before parking and cruising on foot for a while. We also hung around Sunday and made it out to Ski Shores Caf, a cool little old caf on the river built in 1954 that many straggling show attendees drive out to for Sunday lunch, then hit the Continental Club Sunday night once most of the crowds had left for home. Fun times, and we can see why so many hot rodders are making Texas home these days. Thanks to the supreme efforts of the Kontinentals Car Club, the Lonestar Roundup has gone from a small gathering on a football field to a huge event in just 8 years, and you can be sure we'll be back next year.
More Photos From This Article View Slideshow
Friday and Saturday night saw the festivities switch from the Expo Center to South Congress, with cruising, sidewalk parties, and revelers moving from bar, to restaurant, to club. While this went on for a good mile or so, the main action centered around the area near the Continental Club.Mmmm...chrome reverse rims, wide whites, pearl white tuck 'n' roll interior and running boards, and it's running hoodless with a 6/71 blower? This '39 was one of my favorites of the event.Bob Bradberry's '34 pickup has been rodded for a while, judging by those rusty exhausts, though we suspect the chop is more recent. What a great daily driver this would make!Bruce Burroughs and his son Danny brought out their latest rods to showcase what's been happening at Bruce's Rod Shop in Spring, Texas. The four-carbed small-block in Danny's '32 Ford shop truck probably surprises a few people judging the truck's external appearance. Owner Danny Burroughs runs with the Hot Rod Hoodlums out of Spring, Texas. Bruce's understated roadster is powered by a GM Performance Parts ZZ430 crate motor, with big 'n' little unpolished Halibrands.We first thought the nautical theme on Rusty McCormick's Copper Collar Customs Model A was a little odd in the middle of Texas, then realized he's from Panama City Beach, Florida! You'd have to have a pretty small head to wear those "air cleaners" though.We came across this old American Flyer slot car set in the swapmeet. How many of you had such a set whilst growing up?
Bill Dyson frenched the headlights, filled the cowl vent (not much use with a louvered hood anyway!) and added skirts to his '48 Ford convertible before coating it in red oxide primer.Here's an old eastern rod that spent some time in California when Jim Jard owned it. John Watkins from Houston is the current caretaker of this '32 Tudor, and is taking it back to its earlier appearance thanks to some old out-take Car Craft photos. The red firewall and chassis remain from its original build.Squeak Bell made the trek out to Austin from Bakersfield, California, in his Sixties-style '40 Ford coupe. More padded running boards and wide chrome steelies.Being local means it's easier to bring more than one car to a show, and Bob Bradberry not only brought his '34 truck in the background, but also showed this very cool '60 Olds 88 with Bellflower tips and slammed over chromed 'n' capped steelies.Pull out the June 2008 issue of R&C and you'll see John Mearns' '36 in its pre-paint bare metal glory. Unsure of the new motor, John trailered it from California, but managed to drive it halfway home before developing a few problems.Oscar Vera's straight-axle'd, nose-up '56 Chevy gasser ran a cage, fenderwell headers and blue tinted windows. We guess the radials make it less of a handful on the bumpy roads of Texas.As usual the Beatniks were out in force, Jeff Myers bringing his rad '57 Cad from Kansas. Rolling on chrome wires, the chopped Coupe Seville is one of only 2,100 built in '57.Those are some seriously stretched fenders to accommodate the Continental kit on Adrian's '51 Chevy hardtop. Loc Cochinos? They're Chinese chickens aren't they? Filthy ones.
We were digging Michael Gilpin's '34 five window, with all the hallmarks of an older build-master cylinder mounted on an aluminum firewall, '32 grille, Z'd chassis and channeled body,and nerf bar.This sidetrim treatment is one of my personal favorites on a chopped shoebox Ford, and a great way to break up a two-tone paintjob. Peaked fenders and headlight trims and a Chevy grille complete the facelift.The trip out to Ski Shores was a perfect wind-down to the weekend before heading home. A great setting and even better food on the wooden deck right on the river made for a relaxing couple of hours shooting the breeze and watching boats come and go.Fifty or 60 cars showed up Sunday for the drive out to Ski Shores Cafe, including Cathy and Jack Stirnemann's tri-carbed Flathead-powered Deuce roadster. Plenty of chrome offset the burgundy paint perfectly on this period-perfect St. Louis, Missouri-based '32.Jeff Wells' chopped 'n' channeled '29 sedan sits atop a Model A chassis and runs a small-block Ford. With just a windshield and no roof insert, the ride over from Houston was a damp one, we're guessing!Michael Lightbourne's '60 Impala convertible is the subject of a number of subtle mods, notably the grille swap, '57 Chevy hood "gunsights," and louvers. Taking the Mexican blanket interior several steps further than most, the upholstery is mainly stitched from said material.Steve Wertheimer not only owns the Continental Club, he is a member of the host car club that derived its name from said club, and he also owns a number of cool cars, including this Model A roadster, dubbed the Waco Kid. Modified with '40 Ford running gear back in the day, it apparently was street raced until losing in '55, when it was parked. Not any more though...

Loved this oil, delivers on scent (very chocolatey but not fake). One thing to be aware of it the oil will cake up on the bottle. Just wipe the stickiness off. Probably best to use around the neck & shoulder areas, scent is not strong enough for client to really smell otherwise. 4 1/2 stars
Great Product! Smells wonderful! Clients enjoy the soft scent. It's very calming to my clients. Not greasy. A smart buy!
Unfortantely I don't have many clients requesting mircrowave popcorn butter scented oil b/c that is what I and several clients describe the scent of this oil. Since I can't return it I'm trying to cut the oil with essential oils to mask the scent. That seems to be helping.
I was very disappointed with this product. There is no scent at all. Not even a hint of chocolate. I had ordered other scented oils at the same time and the rest of them were great! This one is NOT! Don't waste your money!
Getting ready for the holiday season and Valentine's, I started looking for an oil that smells like chocolate! I purchased the Keyano Chocolate Massage oil and hit the jackpot! With a grape seed carrier oil base, it's perfect for the special "chocolate" massage packages that we have created for the holidays!

A gun changes everything. Perhaps that's the lesson many Americans ought to take from the tragic death of Trayvon Martin. It's something we really need to think about.
I know of no one who isn't at least vaguely aware of the case. Last week, a jury in Florida acquitted George Zimmerman of charges in the teenage Martin's death. Jurors apparently accepted Zimmerman's contention that he had no choice but to use his gun when Martin began beating him up.
Well, that's the law. But behind it is this: Zimmerman did have a choice. When he spotted Martin in his neighborhood and decided the boy might be up to no good, Zimmerman could have stayed in his car and phoned police from there.
Instead, he got out and pursued Martin. He kept going even after a dispatcher told him to let the police handle it. And that led to a physical confrontation that left Martin shot to death by Zimmerman.
Would Zimmerman have gotten out of his car had he not been carrying a gun? Probably not. Would he have pursued a younger, bigger Martin had he not been armed? Almost certainly, no.
Consider the situation: If Martin indeed was bent on crime, he, too, might have been armed and dangerous. If not, like many teenage boys, he might well have done what he did in reacting angrily to Zimmerman's pursuit. Either way, Zimmerman should have expected a confrontation.
But he plowed ahead - because he had a gun.
Now, is this to say people watching out for their neighbors are wrong to carry guns? No. But it is to suggest that if you're going to do that, you'd better think about what may happen if you confront someone.
Frankly, I hope Zimmerman loses the civil lawsuit that is bound to be filed against him. He flunked what ought to be a basic test for concealed carry permits, of thinking about the potential consequences. Or, worse, perhaps he did think - but didn't care.
Perhaps a new requirement ought to be added for concealed carry permits. Applicants ought to have to view the dead body of a gunshot victim - and talk with the deceased's friends and relatives.
Is Zimmerman guilty? Yes - of lethal stupidity and immaturity, at the very least.

Back in the 1970s – 1974 to be exact, Michael Manley, then prime minister of Jamaica, decided in his brilliance to introduce a bauxite levy on the mining companies in Jamaica.This radically increased the tax that the bauxite companies were then paying to Jamaica, which was then the world's largest producer of the mineral which after processing becomes aluminium.
The newest of the bunch of companiesand also the smallest – whose name now escapes me – threatened to leave if Manley should dare to do so – as presumably they would no longer be making a good enough profit. Manley scoffed. And off they went.
The others – Alpart, Kaiser, Revere, Alcoa and Alcan all stayed – but they didn't like it. Mining declined. CIA involvment in our politics increased. Manley became more and more of a leftist, hugging up Fidel and telling the US where to stick… Read more

Downhill shorts that fit your body and can take the demands of the trail aren't a pipe dream for women anymore. The Maloja Women's TanjaM Shorts are made to do a few things well; fit your body while you rip the single track, protect you when the weather turns, and provide excellent coverage when you happen to take a spill. Regardless of whether you're a seasoned downhill veteran, or just getting into it, these shorts will keep you covered.
Freeride Oxford is a durable, nylon-based fabric that's highly resistant to abrasions and tears. The back of the fabric is lined with polyurethane, which gives these shorts a waterproof layer that's still breathable. Softshell inserts are placed in the inner thigh and back of the shorts to give you more stretch for a better range of motion.
The shorts close at the front with both a zipper and two buttons. The waist of the shorts goes higher in the back to keep your skin protected when you're hanging off the back of the bike to rail that techy section. Belt loops add another option for keeping the shorts in place. Two rear pockets and a single cargo pocket on the right leg hold your lift pass, keys, and ID.
The Majola Women's TanjaM Shorts come in Granite, Pine, and Blue Steel. Sizes run X-Small to X-Large.

What do you think about this product?
Have questions about this product?
I'm 5'4" and 130lbs, and I usually wear a size 4 in pants, and these (in a medium) were are massive and baggy on my frame. My boyfriend's bike shorts fit better than mine. Besides the size, the pants are awesome quality and I would happily exchange them for a smaller size. Very breathable for thick fabric, and will definitely withstand the wear I will put them through. Super durable, and will buy Maloja again!
These run BIG!
Other Maloja bike shorts seem true to size, but these are huge!
I have received the short but the actual...
I have received the short but the actual size of XL is 39.5 inches but not max.32.50 inches. Could you tell me what happened?
Hey Li,
Our size chart is the recommended body measurements of the person that Maloja suggests for the various sizes of their products. The 32.5 inches is the measurement of your natural waist and not the actual material measurement of the product. If the waist of the shorts were the exact measurement of your physical waist then unless the material is super stretchy like cycling bibs there would be some serious issues with skin irritation and pressure points over your intestines.
Mr.Wayne from your answer, your mean I am telling the true?I have the photo of the short but I don't why I can't upload to your company. If you use your words to be your eyes than let it pass, I will not make any complaint on that brand name priducts and never other it again,O.K.

The 2008 Mopar Muscle True Street ChallengeWritten by on September 1, 2008 Contributors: Randy Bolig Eight Street Cars Proven At The Strip
For the past five years, we've been testing out an assortment of Mopars to determine the ultimate street car-with a blend of performance, streetability, comfort, and overall appearance. It's easy to build a car that excels in one or two of these areas, but plenty of people forget about the other stuff. In our test, that won't fly.
This year was no different. Eight of our readers converged at the Mopars at the Strip show (MATS) in Las Vegas to prove their Mopars had what it takes to be crowned the winner. If you're not familiar with the rules for our True Street Challenge, they aren't complicated. The initial judging begins as soon as our competitors roll up and park in our allotted area. A close eye is put on the paint, trim, finish, and overall condition. We then take a peek under the hood and also inside. After that, each car is required to fill up with pump gas and cruise the highways of Las Vegas, including stop-and-go traffic on Las Vegas Boulevard. During this time, we hop into each car for a brief ride so we can get a feel for each one. Is it loud? Do all the gauges work? How does it ride? Once the cruise has been completed, the competitors take to the staging lanes and make two passes. All the points accrued from each part are then added together, and a winner is found.
This year, Dave Mitton, owner of a '70 Challenger convertible, was our winner. His E-Body delivered the greatest balance of the attributes we look for in the True Street challenge . . . and the competition was tough-this was the highest scoring year to date! Thank you to all who participated.
Dave Mitton
'70 Dodge Challenger
Our first impression of Dave's Challenger was that it might be "too pretty to compete." We knew it would fare well in the appearance and fit and finish factors, but maybe not so hot on the track. Well, Dave made us eat our words as he was more than eager to blast down the strip. Normally, he races on slicks, but our rules forbid the use of non-DOT-approved race rubber. But that didn't bother him too much since he was curious to see how well it would perform with street radials.
Under the hood we found another surprise: a 631-horse, cast-iron, 500-inch Hemi. The elephant benefits from a slew of aftermarket goodies, including Eagle rods, a stroker crankshaft, and custom CP pistons, which deliver 10.5:1 compression. A .570/.550-inch lift, 239-degree of duration camshaft sits inside the block. Topping things off are twin Edelbrock 650-cfm carburetors, a Stage V aluminum intake manifold, and aluminum Stage V cylinder heads with 2.25-inch intake and 1.90-inch Ferrea stainless valves. The blend of parts offers a great deal of streetablity, and Dave's car excelled in all our categories.
At last years MATS event, Dave was able to make some passes on slicks and knocked down an 11.79. This year, on street tires, he posted consistent mid-12-second passes-not too shabby. The combination of Hemi power and attention to detail paid off as Dave took this year's win. "It's one of those cars you just want to get in and drive," he says. We have to agree. congratulations, Dave.
Jamie Hogg
'68 Dodge Dart
Jamie Hogg's Hemi Super Stock clone was simply intimidating to look at. It was built by Joe Lutz at Hot Rod Dynamics and was sold on eBay to Tommy Watts in California. Tommy took it to the Hot August Nights show and sold it to Tom Skjonsberg of Red Deer Alberta, Canada. Jamie purchased the car from Tom in January 2008.
The Super Stock suspension holds the spooled Dana 60 in place as the 426 Hemi crushes the Mickey Thompson drag radials. The Hemi sports a Mopar Purple Cam and gives the Dart a menacing idle through its Hooker Super Comp headers and Flowmaster mufflers. The twin 770-cfm Holley carburetors and an MSD ignition system boost power even further. A 727 TorqueFlite transmission with a reverse manual valvebody and a 4,500-stall converter handle the shifting.
Hot Rod Dynamics teamed up with Bill Grogan's Trim Shop to restore the interior to Super Stock specs. the car comes together nicely and would fool any discerning passerby. Jamie was thrilled to be involved in the True Street Challenge, and we appreciate his enthusiasm. Adding to the excitement, he posted a new personal best with a low 12-second pass. He also gets the Save of the Day award for keeping his Dart mere inches from the wall when he hit some slippery stuff at half track.
Greg Bridges
'73 Dodge Challenger
Twenty-two-year-old Greg Bridges, our youngest competitor, brought a lot to the table with his ambitious '73 Challenger. Greg and his father, Bill, picked it up for $650. The Challenger was in poor, haggard condition, and it took five years to bring it to the level they wanted. They completed all the work themselves, aside from the paint, which was handled by Dell Auto Body in Campbell, California.
Motivating this 13-second capable E-Body is a 360 small-block. The heads were treated to a heavy porting and bowl work, and a Clay Smith .490-lift and 265-duration camshaft. An Edelbrock RPM Air Gap intake manifold and Demon 650-cfm carburetor provide the air/fuel mixture. The sweet small-block song is sung through a Flowmaster exhaust and tti headers. Its road manners are controlled by a highly modified suspension system that includes KYB gas shocks, 11/8-inch front sway bar, and Super Stock springs.
This Challenger may have been outgunned by the other competitors on the track, but the father/son team brought a lot to the table with their Challenger.
Dennis Hupka
'69 Plymouth Road Runner
Making his way from Chilliwack, British Columbia, Canada, Dennis Hupka had to strap tire chains on his car to negotiate the snow. He purchased his first Road Runner-a '68 four-speed-in 1968, while he was a young police officer. But time, marriage, and kids forced him to put the whole musclecar thing on the back burner. Eventually, he was able to return to the hobby and has owned three '69 Road Runners, including this one, his latest.
He spotted it in 1996 on a trailer in someone's backyard, but the owner wouldn't budge on the sale price. Dennis left his card and heard back about a year later-and bought it on the spot. It was in need of a full restoration, but the body was intact and had only minor rust in the fenderwells. Garry Keay Restorations in Chilliwack took care of the paint and body. The 440 was sent to Fortin's Engine & supply for the buildup. New .030 over pistons, .484-lift cam, and balanced rotating assembly filled the RB block. It also uses a Holley 3310 carburetor and an M1 intake manifold.
Out on the road, the overwhelmingly tame B-Body delivered an extremely comfortable ride. The paint and body were all quality. Its performance on the track could have been a little better, but its comfort and appearance made up for that quite well.
Thierry Hosig
'68 Dodge Coronet R/T
Thierry Hosig's B-5 blue Coronet R/T was blindingly bright. The paint looked as though it was sprayed yesterday, and all the parts were there, too. Fifteen years ago, his friend purchased the car and it sat at his house. When the friend decided to move, Thierry sprang at the opportunity to buy it from him. It was in rough shape, but 41/2 years of restoration work resulted in this rewarding show stopper.
Inside the 440 are Mopar rods, a factory crankshaft, and KB Silvolite hypereutectic pistons. The stock cam was replaced with a Comp Cams Energy 225 flat-tappet with .507/.510-inch lift with a 110 lobe separation and 240/246-degree duration. Comp lifters and springs handle the valve events with the cast-iron Mopar 906 cylinder heads.
TTI exhaust made a strong showing this year; this B-Body benefited from their 3-inch header system and spits it out through Flowmaster Delta-Flow three-chamber mufflers. Its domestic, relaxed road manors scored high with the judges and gave the winner a run for his money.
Doug Sloan
'69 Plymouth Barracuda
This is raw, unadulterated power. Doug Sloan's '69 'Cuda rumbled up to the True Street Challenge area, turning a lot of heads. We thought to ourselves, How could something this monstrous fare well in this friendly competition that is about more than just a timeslip? Well, during the cruise session, the A-Body proved docile and friendly in stop and go-something nobody expected. when it came time for the passes, Doug's Barracuda didn't let us down there either, posting consistent 10-second slips all weekend on motor.
Powering this animal down the track is not a big-block, but a numbers-matching 340. It's no longer that small, though. Doug's brother, Brian Sloan, built the engine, and it's now a more robust 394 cubes. The forged Callies Dragon Slayer crankshaft is attached to Eagle steel rods and CP pistons. The healthy 11:1 compression ratio runs nicely on pump gas and is delivered through an Edelbrock Super Victor intake via a custom-built Holley HP 750 carburetor.
With the car perfectly set up, Doug enjoys running brackets and competed against the other Mopars all weekend.
Don Riley
'73 Plymouth Duster
What we liked about Don Riley's '73 Duster wasn't just its performance or the fact that it was a father/son project. It was that Don loved to drive the car, do smoky burnouts, and race regularly. He bought the car in early 2002 for he and his sons, John and Andrew, to build and enjoy together.
Now on its third engine, this Duster was hot lapping with mid-11-second passes. An LA 410-inch small-black sits underneath the hood. KB pistons rated for 11:1 compression, Forged H-beam rods, and a Mopar stroker crank make up the rotating assembly. A Comp Cams .635/.632-inch lift, 252/262-degree duration camshaft keeps the valves open.
The week before the True Street Challenge, Don busted his four-speed. He converted the car over to an automatic right before the event and wasn't able to optimize the setup, but he still ran some great passes!
Bob Hewitt
'70 Plymouth Sport Satellite
Bob Hewitt, a retired 71-year-old businessman, brought this '70 Sport Satellite out to Vegas with his crew. His crew consists of an assortment of highly intelligent automotive specialists: Buster Baglierri, Frank Wright, Earl Stewart, Bobby Lucareili, Dave Haringa, Dennis Peterson, David Purcell, and Bob Cannon. Together, they helped him on various parts of the restoration and at the track.
For the engine, Bob went with an all-aluminum Hemi from Indy. The 528ci engine features 10.5:1 compression Wiseco pistons, Eagle H-beam rods, and an Eagle stroker crankshaft. The aluminum cylinder heads were also sourced from Indy and received bowl porting and gasket matching. The camshaft comes from Comp Cams and is rated at .549/.532-inch lift and 305-degree duration. Fuel and air are provided by a pair of Holley 750 carburetors and a Stage V intake manifold.
The Sublime B-Body was fairly mellow on the streets, but the drag suspension wasn't the most welcoming. Bob put Buster Baglierri behind the wheel for the race portion of the challenge, where he performed consistently, knocking down mid-12s on street tires both passes.
Bob and his crew were very professional and even made team shirts to commemorate their experience at the '08 Mopars at the Strip event.

He said he had nothing for the Hemis, but he still put up a good fight.The nearly bone-stock 440 makes this B-body a fun car to take anywhere. It's so comfortable that he even drove it down from Canada through the snow.Doug Sloan's Barracuda may have been more at home at the strip than on the street, but it still performed quite well and comfortable, considering.This 340 now delivers 394 ci and produces enough power to send Doug through the traps in 10-seconds.The impressive grip and power of Don Riley's Duster threw your author back into the seat without warning. This is a fast street car in every sense of the word.The Duster's engine bay is occupied by a 410ci small-block. The radical cam makes for one mean sounding exhaust note.
Bob Hewitt's Sublime Satellite really drew a crowd in our pits. He and his friends built the car over a course of 2-1/2 years, and they were all able to attend the show as a team effort.

May 30, 2016
OXFORD, Miss. (AP) -- The family of a man accused of mailing ricin-tainted letters to the president and a U.S. senator says they have tried for years to get him help for his mental illness.
Jack Curtis issued a statement on behalf of the family of his brother, Paul Kevin Curtis, on Thursday evening. It says Kevin Curtis' mental problems, which include bipolar disorder, cause the man to believe he does not need medical treatment.
The family says that Kevin Curtis refuses to take his medication, and that there is no legal way for them to force him to do so. They say they do not know details of the charges against Kevin Curtis.
The statement says that when Kevin Curtis does take his medication as prescribed, he is a loving and intelligent person.

|Drumroll Please
|Written by Jes-c Brandt
Texas soft
On the day I left Holyoke, after a two-week Christmas vacation in an ice box, the temperature soared to a whopping 40 degrees; praise the Lord, it finally broke freezing.
There was a time in my life when I thought I handled winter well. Growing up in Colorado, I went sledding when school got canceled and learned early how to drive in the snow. Well, really, I learned how to get unstuck after failing to drive in the snow.
After moving to Texas, there have been many kind, supportive Coloradans who have tried to help me see that I am not as tough as I used to be. They strut around in short sleeves and never miss an opportunity to talk about how shocked they are by the recent "heat wave." Bundled up during my Thanksgiving vacation, I just could not see what they meant. Needless to say, I was in denial. I have become Texas soft.
It wasn't easy to accept. I always thought new license plates would be the biggest adjustment I'd have to make when becoming a Texan, but apparently I was wrong.
One night, while sitting at dinner with a couple of my elementary students who are native Texans, I overheard a conversation that, at the time, I found laughable.
They were discussing how cold it had been lately, and one of them posed a profound question: "What if it was only 1 degree?" The wide-eyed 6-year-old sitting opposite her answered gravely, "You'd probably die."
I smiled to myself as their conversation transpired, but I can tell you when I woke up the other morning and the thermometer read 1, I indeed thought I might die.
Living in Texas for a mere year and a half has robbed me of any tolerance to cold I once had. I remember the times when I would sleep in shorts, with a fan directed at my bed. Now, the entire time I was in Colorado, I slept in sweatpants and a sweatshirt, with an extra blanket. Most mornings, it took all my willpower to subject my skin, even for a moment, to the frigid air outside my pajamas just to get ready for the day.
In high school, I remember slipping on a pair of flip flops to run down the sidewalk and check the mail on a winter morning. These days, I can't leave the warmth of my home without several layers of clothing, and cozy socks are a must.
After a couple weeks of snow, I was finally starting to acclimate to the weather, and by then, it was time to return to Texas. I must admit I was ready to return to warmer climates, and I was not disappointed upon my arrival. When I stepped out of the airport, it was 51 degrees, and for the first time in weeks, I enjoyed the sunshine without the fear of imminent frostbite.
The funny thing was, as I stripped off my heavy coat and headed toward the parking lot, wearing a sweatshirt, I noticed the people around me were still bundled up. I suppose 51 is relatively cold compared to the 78-degree weather we had when I left the state.
Still basking in the rediscovered warmth, I greeted my students when they returned to the school, and I stifled a chuckle as they complained that it was too cold to play outside. I suppose it's all about perspective.

from the floor en route to a 39-30 advantage at the break.
In the second half the Raiders, who never trailed on the night, again made
good on 50 percent from the field, but Detroit closed the game by hitting on
10-of-11 at the free-throw line before suffering the two-point loss.
Detroit, which generated just two points from reserves, was outscored in the
paint by a 32-20 margin.

i like the overall feel on this one, especially the coastlines (though once zoomed in they do seem very angular in places), but the burn on the edges is a too saturated. I'd tone that down a bit.
My W.I.P Elyden globe map thread - please check it out and let me know what you think
my gallery
my worldbuilding and cartographical blog please sub!
my Patreon!
First -awesome map. Made sure to rep you before I even commented :-).
Random thoughts --
I know they're symbols, not scale depictions, but for the marsh symbols to be bigger than the trees seems... off. Either by itself seems great - you've got multiple convincing swamps, which is tough.
The dry lands of Silites po Latti Drannaror are possible as depicted, with climatic effects off-page causing it. But the situation would be even locally plausible if they were the result of a rain shadow due to prevailing winds from the west getting their moisture extracted by the coastal mountains. The only difference that would make in the map is there wouldn't be much in the way of rivers on the east side of the Balanteys / Urkan Tocaror. The gap at Leb Woxxerexx and the southern coast would admit enough moisture for the interior to be grasslands / steppes instead of desert - it that what you're depicting?
The square repeating pattern in the background bugged me until I thought "not parchment, but linen!" Is that what you intend? If so I'd kind of expect a bit of effect on the linework too, since even coated, fine-weave clothpaper has some texture -- but for something this beautiful I'm willing to suspend all sorts of analysis :-).
Lastly - first map? Are you for real? Wow.
Don't mind the symbols, I only even just noticed that their sizes are irrelative to one another after you informed me of it!
But anyways, the reason for the Silités pó Lätti Drannáror (let's just call it the top desert for simplicity's sake) to be so dry is not off-page; it is indeed the mountain ridge that hugs its east side. What I thought of the Woxxerexx valley to be is more of a "dip" in the mountain ridge, a place where there would be no mountains... I can't explain this, but eh well. Correct, I do not know much about meteorology, however I thought that even with the presence of that gap, I did not think that would be enough to turn a part of the desert into a more lively land.
The land just past the mountains is extremely fertile thanks to the many water springs running down the mountains and forming the Sirtalälla river, however this fertility stops abruptly past a few miles (for example, take the Nile river); allowing the presence of the city of Sirtalai, which is basically a praising name that means fertile-soil.
Secondly, about the square background textures... Dear God, I hadn't even noticed it until this moment! It's supposed to be parchment, however. Oh you, things-you-only-notice-after-you've-completed-your-work!
Thank you for the feedback.
Wow! I really like this map, the antique look of it is so AWESOME. My suggestion is that you should make more maps like this O.O
I repped you first too, before I forget to...
Nice map. A little too dark for me, but the overall feeling is nice. One little thing is that it seems the texture you used is pixelating.
One other little remark is about scale, kind of placed in the middle of nowhere...

Since the human body cannot store vitamin C, a constant supply is essential to maintaining healthy skin. The carefully designed formulas of the Serious Skincare Serious C products provide this important vitamin – in forms that your system can use immediately and efficiently. Without a regular intake of vitamin C, also known as ascorbic acid, skin cells don't produce at the rate necessary to keep your complexion fresh and smooth. Unlike many vitamins, ascorbic acid can be used most efficiently by the body when applied topically. Serious Skincare Serious C products are formulated to provide the most bioavailable forms.
Not only does vitamin C help boost the production of skin cells (including collagen), but it acts as an antioxidant. The anti-aging benefits of Serious Skincare Serious C go beyond this: Vitamin C also helps to regenerate vitamin E, which acts to improve the texture of skin and to reduce lines and wrinkles.
Directly, or through the way it is metabolized, vitamin C helps damaged skin regenerate, boosts skin cell and collagen production, acts as an antioxidant and can even help protect skin against damage from the sun's ultraviolet radiation. The forms of ascorbic acid (vitamin C) that Serious Skincare Serious C products provide the skin allow the skin tissues to readily absorb and use this vital vitamin.
In addition to the five highly bioavailable vitamin C esters in Serious Skincare C Cream with SPF 30, this daytime moisturizing cream also includes a suite of vitamin C-rich botanical extracts, both from citric sources and acerola (Malphighia glabra). These natural forms of vitamin C are more easily absorbed and used than artificial sources taken in pill form. To provide additional protection against ultraviolet rays, the cream also includes five sunscreen compounds.
In addition to removing makeup and clearing the skin, Serious Skincare C Clean Facial Cleanser also provides a suite of moisturizers, skin toners and sources of vitamin C. Bioavailability – how easily the tissues can absorb and utilize active ingredients – is an important consideration for vitamin C. This formula uses a delivery system of microspheres called colloidosomes to deliver Rovisome C®, a liposome technology that boosts collagen synthesis and protects the skin against free oxygen radicals.
On its own, exfoliation promotes the production and presentation of new skin cells. Serious Skincare C Power provides additional benefits: Not only does it gently exfoliate the skin with papain, a natural proteolytic enzyme, but it provides vitamin C esters using an advanced delivery technology that encourages new skin cell growth. By promoting a greater skin cell turnover, the complexion is smooth, brightened and more receptive to emollients.

|JV girls 2-1 for the week
|Written by Holyoke Enterprise
Two wins over the weekend and a Tuesday loss at Benkelman, Neb. resulted in a 2-1 girls' jayvee record last week.
After dropping a 51-46 game in Nebraska, the HHS JV squad defeated Wray 37-33 Friday and topped Burlington 45-36 Saturday.
Holyoke JV 46, Dundy Co. 51
While Dundy County took a slim 11-9 lead at Benkelman, the score was tied 18-all at halftime. The game stayed tight, but the Dragons were on top by two heading into the final stanza.
Dundy County outscored HHS 22-15 in the fourth to pull off the five-point win, 51-46.
Mallory Bennett led the Dragon scoring with 11 points (including seven free throws), followed by Laura Gerk with 10 (including two three-pointers and two for two from the line), Kaylee Groshans nine, Heather Duester six, Marci Vasa five, Flor Varela and Krista Schafer two apiece and Molly Fricke one.

To say we were excited is an understatement. This is how it went down… OK. We're in London baby. The clock is ticking…only 4 minutes to go and the excitement is palpable. In only 3.27 minutes we'll hear the guru of Google and prophet of PPC: Brad Geddes is due to speak
Running a business needs dedication, commitment and it can be hard work but it doesn't need to be a stressful endeavour. Here are Redline's top 10 marketing tips that can help you to promote your business.
Redline Company is delighted to announce that 2015 marks the team's 11th year as the Costa del Sol's favourite 'external marketing' department. Rather than throw a large party, Redline will celebrate the occasion by hosting a reception at Fuengirola Bioparc and donating funds to the Bioparc Foundation.
Alarma Universal Costa del Sol based Danish owned home security company Alarma Universal contracted Redline Company to provide comprehensive marketing services, including designing and developing a new website, individual landing pages, newsletters, Google Adwords campaigns, social media and videos.
Redline Company was delighted to provide the PR for the Cavalli Club Restaurant & Lounge Puerto Banús launch party on the 30th May 2015. With such a high profile project it was vital that we were able to deliver the right mix of guests and that the media was well represented on the night, which was…

If you work in a creative field, be it fashion, graphic design or interior design, you'll know that success depends on talent, know-how and of course inspiration. It is these types of businesses that benefit the most from the explosion in the popularity of social media sites as visual aids, mood boards and a method of sharing ideas.

Marbella based marketing agency Redline Company has once again joined forces with Triple A to design a super cute 2015 calendar featuring a selection of impossibly adorable cats and dogs that urgently need a new home. The calendars are on sale to the general public at the market in Puerto Banús every Saturday morning, in selected veterinary clinics and are also available from Triple A.
If you are in the process of creating a brand and choosing your corporate colours, introducing a new product or planning your marketing materials, you need to look further than personal preference. You can take inspiration from seasonal colour trends, but you should also take on board the influence that colour can have on the psychology of potential customers.
If you have ever wondered how we come up with so many original design ideas, look no further than the partnership between founder Line and graphic designer Lulu, who this year celebrates 5 years with the company.
It's important to keep on top of new developments and to pass on useful information to our clients. Here is some interesting news about Facebook…they have recently added a new feature!
In the 1990s websites were flooded with flashing and blinking banners and the mid-2000s saw a proliferation of rounded corners which today look extremely dated. Yet, it isn't just the aesthetics that are constantly evolving, it's important to take into account increased connectivity, how visitors will access your site and their browsing habits.
Everyone wants to be liked but the saying "you can't buy friends" applies equally to your personal life and social media. In both instances, you'll find that dubiously acquired 'likes' have very little real value. However, as it's one of the most hotly debated issues in online marketing we've laid out the case for and against, so you can make up your own mind.
There's nothing quite like seeing the results of a successful campaign to get us excited and this is certainly the case with start-up company Taurus Development Finance. Redline was approached by founder and director Jerard Phillips to help him set up a brand new company that would act as a bridge between investors – venture capitalists, hedge funds and private individuals - actively looking to finance development projects between 100k to 1million and developers looking for short term flexible funding in the UK.
On Friday 17th October, Redline Company celebrated 10 years as the Costa del Sol's favourite external marketing department by throwing a party at La Dolce Vita chiringito in Marbella to thank clients, suppliers and the press for their support. Using the slogan from their marketing packages - 'it's a jungle out there' - as the theme, guests were greeted by a menagerie of Redline's animal…

What Size do you need the map? Print or Digital Use? Privat or Comercial usage?
I am looking to find someone that I can work with to produce a map of Plymouth and its surrounding areas at the end of the 16th century.
I'm currently in the early stages of producing setting material and would like to work with a cartographer as I progress.
The setting is an "alternate history" setting so the map does not have to be historically accurate, however I would like it to have a feel for the period.
There are maps available for reference: http://www.cyber-heritage.co.uk/maps/mayflower.htm
Payment to be discussed.
What Size do you need the map? Print or Digital Use? Privat or Comercial usage?
I would like the map to be a fairly large map, zooming into specific areas to go along with the area setting information. Initially it would be used for a wiki and probably a pdf, if there was interest then the pdf would be made into a printed product. It could end up being a commercial product if a printed book is produced.
Here's a period map of Exeter (just along the coast) http://historic-cities.huji.ac.il/br...erg_VI_1_b.jpg something similar to that for the town centre would be good. And maybe something like http://www.cyber-heritage.co.uk/maps/map4.jpg for the surrounding area.
Hmm, looks like I'm talking myself into two maps... :s
Well, I would certainly love to work on a project like that as well. Although, for city maps, we have a cartographer that just recently did a map in precisely that style ...
Anyway, some of my maps: http://lukc.deviantart.com
Lukc, love the Deep Purple Dungeon!

Haha, glad you liked the Worm I was surprised this spring, when I saw it taken up on a few blogs as well.

text: I was looking at 2013's hunt area map and noticed that area 116 was quite a bit larger than it was last year, I was also checking the quotas in that area and apparently they are changing it to a general season. In the past I have applied for this area and it seemed to be hard to draw because of the small amount of tags. My question is why would they change it from a somewhat hard to draw unit to a general season? Are they trying to clean the elk out of this area? From what I have heard there are not to many elk here so it seems like it is somewhat of an extermination.

LANDOVER, Md., (WUSA) -- "We're gonna put a retriever head, and this is gonna handle whatever blockage we have," says Gary Printz.
At the U-A Mechanical School in Landover, training director Gary Printz shows his apprentices how to handle one of their most frequent calls for help.
"Just let the machine do the work. You don't have to force it," he says to a group of students.
If this was your sink, these plumbers-in-training would have plenty of tools to clear the way. But, the Turbo Snake says you can skip the pricey professionals and do it yourself.
It's supposed to instantly clear slow moving drains, no need to remove the drain stopper for bathroom sinks, showers and tubs. We'll see.
Gary helps us simulate hair blockage in a frequently used sink.
He says, "Let's see if we got it in the drain where it needs to be."
With help from a diagnostic camera, Gary gets the hair in place.
"This is supposed to be able to go down, insert it into trap and twist. It looks like it's grabbing something pretty good," Printz says.
But Gary says without a camera to show you what's stuck, there's a good chance you won't get it all.
He says, "Then you've created yourself a little more of a problem."
And in that case, someone would need to call a professional.
The Turbo Snake did eventually unclog the drain. But, Printz thinks it's no match for the real thing.
"This one has a little bite,' he says.
Now the question, would he try it again?
"I wouldn't try this again," he laughs.
Gary Printz and the other professionals would rather see you use the device rather than reach for a drain cleaner.
They say most cleaners harm the environment and can cause more problems.

Keeping the skin properly moisturized is absolutely essential for good health and proper skin cell function. The iS Clinical Hydrate line offers moisturizers for the face, eye area and body since all skin requires hydration. iS Clinical Hydrate goes beyond the basics of hydration to improve the appearance of skin that is compromised due to age and environmental factors.
All skin can benefit from iS Clinical Hydrate since moisture is important for all skin types. iS Clinical Hydrate seals in water to plump up skin tissue, smoothing out fine lines and wrinkles. Proper moisture can speed healing of minor skin wounds. iS Clinical Hydrate also improves the overall defenses of the skin so that it can ward off common ailments. iS Clinical Hydrate should be used every day in order to avoid dryness and dehydration that can lead to further problems. It works best when applied following cleansing in order to lock in hydration.
All skin care regimens should include a moisturizer for best results and good skin health. iS Clinical Hydrate seals in moisture in addition to providing other benefits to the skin.
iS Clinical Moisturizing Complex is a very rich moisturizer that absorbs nicely so that it hydrates effectively without a heavy or greasy feel. The cream is loaded with antioxidants which help protect the skin against environmental damage that can lead to signs of aging. This is an excellent cream for use in conjunction with treatment products as it can boost effectiveness of active ingredients. iS Clinical Moisturizing Complex reduces the look of fine lines and creases and also firms the skin with a retinol formula.
iS Clinical Hydra-Cool Serum is a lightweight product that absorbs quickly to deliver hydration that lasts. This is a calming serum that soothes irritable skin. It can also reduce the inflammation associated with mild blemishes. iS Clinical Hydra-Cool Serum offers protection against the elements with an antioxidant formula. It can be used for all skin types, even those with very sensitive skin and those suffering from the symptoms of rosacea.
Everyone should know that the eye area needs hydration just like the rest of the face. Because the eye tissue is so thin and fragile, it is important to use a product that is specially formulated just for the eyes. iS Clinical Eye Complex is a very gentle hydrator that respects the delicate nature of the eye area. Antioxidants reduce the damage done by the environment and therefore reduce future signs of aging. It also helps diminish puffiness and dark circles.

FedEx Ground rolls out 2011 rate hikes
December 06, 2010
FedEx recently announced it will up its rates for its FedEx Ground and FedEx Home Delivery units by an average of 4.9 percent, which will take effect on January 3, 2011.
Company officials said that the full average rate increase of 5.9 percent will be partially offset by adjusting the fuel prices threshold at which the fuel surcharge begins and reduce the fuel surcharge by one percentage point.
This news follows a late September announcement in which FedEx raised rates for FedEx Freight, its less-than-truckload unit, by 6.9 percent (effective November 1, 2010), and FedEx Express for U.S. domestic and U.S. export services by an average of 3.9 percent, effective January 3, 2011.
When these rate hikes were announced, FedEx said it will be implementing a change to the dimensional weight volumetric divisor from 194 to 166 for U.S. domestic services.
In early November, UPS also made similar rate increases, with UPS Ground packages up 4.9 percent and a net increase of 4.9 percent on all air express and U.S. origin international shipments.
And like FedEx UPS made changes to its dimensional weight volumetric divisor, with U.S. Domestic UPS Air Services and U.S. Domestic UPS Ground Services (for packages 3 cubic feet or larger) changing from 194 to 166, among others.
In a recent interview with LM, Jerry Hempstead, principal of Hempstead Consulting, said that these dimensional weight changes will be a major hit to shippers.
"It is all margin improvement for both UPS and FedEx," he said. "They do no additional work, make no additional capacity investment but get a windfall of incremental revenue on the same shipments they handle today."
Hempstead these dimensional weight changes are good for shareholders and bad for shippers. He added that he was surprised at how low UPS's ground increase is, considering that with only two ground parcel national carriers, whatever rate hikes one company announces is matched by the other, with the differences occurring in the discounting.

Indriya is the noble marriage of Arabica with a hint of Robusta from Southern India. A full-bodied espresso, it has a distinct personality with notes of pepper, nutmeg and cloves.
The Arabica and Robusta chosen for this blend grow in Southern India, in the shade of large trees that also provide shelter for pepper and spice growing. Grown on high altitude plantations, the Robusta we use is a very pure coffee, very intense and slightly bitter. Only absolutely perfect beans, which have passed a rigorous selection process, are used for Indriya.
Intenisty: 10
The Arabica is lightly roasted, to preserve its subtle aromas. In contrast, the Robusta is well roasted to reveal its intensity and develop a full body. Very fine grinding supports the body and enhances the flavour.
Tasting :
Ristretto (25 ml)
Tasting :
Espresso cup (40 ml)
Tasting :
Ideal for making a cappuccino
Aromatic profile:
Cocoa and dry plant notes, as well as a spicy bouquet reminiscent of cloves, pepper and nutmeg.

Kickstarter Series: LUNATIKJanuary 7th, 2013
3D Printing and Kickstarter Series :: LUNATIK
By: Alicia Frye
GROWit prints magical, masterful, pure-awesomeful things every day. In this particular blog series, we highlight some of our Kickstarter customers: the leading innovators of consumer products. Today's highlighted success? LUNATIK.
MINIMAL design is a true star in successful vision-to-launch with LUNATIK products. LUNATIK's disruptive nature and transformational design to impact everyday life look to be just too irresistible for crowdfunding cruisers to pass up. One might even say their award-winning founder Scott Wilson is Jeopardy!'s Ken Jennings of the Kickstarter world with his 3 for 3 record [LUNATIK TAKTIK :: LUNATIK Touch Pen :: TikTok+LunaTik]. TAKTIK came out with a not-too-shabby $680,568 raised in 30 days, funded by over 450% of their goal.
TAKTIK :: Premium Protection System for the iPhone
TAKTIK is one revolutionary iPhone case that made its way on Kickstarter and, in my humble iPhone-using opinion, is truly the case of all cases. It's resilient structure and functional design was no mistake.
"By obsessing over all the details that others neglect like fit, finish, feel, display integrity, robustness and aesthetics, we are raising the bar again," shares LUNATIK creator Scott Wilson.
The TAKTIK brings its hardcore game in all of its rugged glory and looks good doing it. From water to concrete, baby can practically withstand any encounter (not that it's actually encouraged for one to seek out such encounters…). This case can more than handle the beatings that are inevitable for iPhone users.
TAKTIK has some stunning features:
- Shockproof Suspension System 9mm Impact Truss + Ballastik Bezel
- Upgradable High Sensitivity Gorilla Glass Lens Protection
- Acoustic water + dust resistant mic/speaker covers
- Photo/Flash friendly camera opening
- 3.5 HSJ cover made from anodized aircraft grade aluminum
- 30-pin plug allows quick access for charging
- Silence switch
- iPhone antenna friendly metal case
- Tested using military specification standards
- Available starting at $99.95
TAKTIK for iPhone4/4s is currently available at LUNATIK (https://www.lunatik.com/products/taktik) and TAKTIK for iPhone 5 will be available for pre-order in January. LUNATIK will also unveil a larger series of protective cases in the new year.
LUNATIK was able to use GROWit's 3D printing technology facility to take TAKTIK from the computer screen to the physical hand. Material simulations, form-to-fit testing, and product representation in early development stages are staples in rapid prototyping and product development.
Iterations of products like this give designers a physical product to use and represent on platforms like Kickstarter. For a small amount of money and time, designers save across the board when using a service bureau for creating new consumer products.
Be sure and check all of LUNATIK Kickstarter success products, which all underwent 3D printing R&D-to-production process under the GROWit HQ roof:
LUNATIK TAKTIK :: LUNATIK Touch Pen :: TikTok+LunaTik
Can't wait to see what's to come in future LUNATIK Kickstarter campaigns.

Hi. I was just wondering what the rationale is for making certain forums/discussions invisible to guests, while others are visible? I was surprised to find that the masterbation discussion has stayed visible while others such as the one dealing with Buddhism and tolerance was made invisible immediately.
I hope its alright if I ask, did you all have a discussion of that sort? I ask cause when we had the tolerance discussion going it was a strange feeling, to suddenly have the thread closed to the larger public, like a door had been closed.
Over at ZFI we do have a few forums not visible to guests. If I recall correctly our rational was to protect the privacy of members revealing personal information. If your purpose is similar I would suggest moving the masterbation discussion to a less "public" forum.

Press Release: Florida Democratic Party
Tallahassee, FL – Florida Democratic Party Chairwoman Allison Tant today released the following statement in response to the resignation of Lieutenant Governor Jennifer Carroll.
"Floridians expected an administration focused on solving the problems facing Florida's families, but instead got a scandal plagued Governor and a revolving staff door. Rick Scott and his administration have made a mockery of the Governor's office — embarrassing Floridians while failing to accomplish his legislative priorities. Scott campaigned on changing Tallahassee but his first three years have been more of the same corruption and waste that taxpayers have come to expect from Florida Republicans."
