Joining a Music Department ensemble is an enjoyable, hands-on way of exploring music you might not encounter in any other way, guided by faculty who are experts in the field. It can provide you with an experience that is intellectually stimulating, aesthetically rewarding, and fun to do with your friends.
The Music Department offers 14 faculty-led ensembles covering a wide variety of musical styles from around the world—everything from medieval music to works composed yesterday. Twelve ensembles are available for 1 credit as MUS 101; the other two (Fresh Flutes and Harp Ensemble) are not-for-credit options.* Faculty, staff, and community members are welcome in most ensembles.
* If registering for the ensemble would incur overload fees, students may participate without registering, with consent of the instructor.

Chamber Ensembles
Nancy McFarland Gaub, director
The Baroque trio sonata, the Classical string quartet, the passionate outpourings of Schubert, Brahms, Tchaikovsky, and Bartok – much of the greatest music of the Western tradition has been composed for small groups of musicians. String players, along with advanced pianists and woodwind players are invited to explore great works of the literature. Interested individuals and preformed groups audition for placement and repertoire. Coaching, on Tuesday evenings, culminates in formal and informal performances. Masterclasses have been given by members of the Cleveland, Pacifica, Lark, American, Prazak, Maia, and Chicago String Quartets.
Collegium Musicum
Jennifer Brown, director
The Collegium Musicum is an ensemble dedicated to the historical performance of Early Music (the Medieval, Renaissance, Baroque, & Classical periods of Western European music history). The goals of the ensemble are 1) to provide a hands-on way of learning about the history of Western Music; 2) to learn to perform well, using techniques appropriate to the instrument and the historical period; 3) to learn about historical "performance practice" as it applies to various different repertories; 4) to explore the beautiful but less often heard music of earlier periods; 5) to share the results of study with the Grinnell community through formal and informal concerts; and 6) to share the experience of performing music with each other. The ensemble is comprised of both singers and instrumentalists, divided into several groups according to repertoire and experience level. Each group meets for approximately one hour per week. Section placements are held at the beginning of each semester. Rehearsals are held in the spacious Egan Early Music Room (BCA 102). Instrumentalists in the Collegium perform on Grinnell's first-class collection of replica period instruments. Since many of these are ancestors of modern instruments, students can often transfer their knowledge of modern technique to early instruments fairly easily. Both group and individual instruction is provided. Available instruments in the Grinnell collection include bowed strings (Baroque violins, violas, cello, violone, a set of viols (viole da gamba), vielle, rebec, hurdy-gurdy), plucked strings (Renaissance and Baroque guitars, lutes, theorbo, medieval harp, psaltery, dulcimer), woodwinds (Renaissance and Baroque recorders and flutes), reeds (Baroque oboe, shawm, dulcian, sordun, crumhorns), brasses (Baroque trumpets, Baroque and Classical horns, sackbuts, cornetti), keyboards (harpsichords, chamber organ, fortepiano), and a variety of small percussion instruments.
Grinnell Symphony Orchestra
Eric McIntyre, director
The Grinnell Symphony Orchestra is dedicated to providing students, faculty, and the greater community with high quality performances of substantial orchestral literature. It also serves as a performing outlet for instrumentalists who wish to explore the immense body of orchestral literature from the past as well as that composed during our lifetimes. The GSO is comprised of student musicians representing all disciplines within the college who are unified by a love of music and a dedication to the art of orchestral performance.
The GSO performs five to seven concerts each season with a wide range of music from the Baroque to the 21st Century. Highlights of recent seasons include performances of Mahler's Symphony No. 1, Verdi's Requiem, Sibelius's 2nd Symphony, Liszt's Les Preludes, Vaughan Williams's Dona Nobis Pacem, Feldman's Intersection No. 1, and Holst's The Planets. During the last few seasons, the GSO has also performed with numerous guest soloists, including violinist Alexander Kerr, violist Jeroen Woudstra, mezzo-soprano Katherine Ciesinski, soprano Lynelle Rowley, trumpeter Nathaniel Mayfield, and baritone saxophonist Aaron Lington. The GSO also continues to establish itself as an ensemble dedicated to the future growth of our art by performing music by living composers. Examples include recent performances of Wojciech Kilar's Krzesany, Gavin Bryars's The Sinking of the Titanic, John Corigliano's Gazebo Dances and Henryk Miko?aj Górecki's Kleines Requiem für eine Polka as well as several world premieres of new works.
Full GSO rehearsals are Monday and Wednesday afternoons from 4:30–6 p.m. with sectional rehearsals for the string section on Monday evenings 7–8 p.m. and for the winds and brass on Wednesday evenings 7–8 p.m.
Membership in GSO is open to string, woodwind, brass, and percussion players, regardless of major. Admission to the ensemble is by audition. Auditions for new members are held during the first week of classes each semester.
For more information see GSO, please contact Eric McIntyre.
Jazz Ensemble
Mark Laver, director
The Grinnell Jazz Ensemble is open to instrumentalists (and occasionally vocalists) who are interested in the study and performance of jazz works of the large ensemble tradition. The ensemble performs music from a wide variety of jazz-related styles, and frequently performs works by both veteran and contemporary jazz composers. Past concerts have included compositions by composers such as Duke Ellington, Count Basie, Toshiko Akiyoshi, Sammy Nestico, Miles Davis, and Charles Mingus, Maria Schneider, Gordon Goodwin, Thad Jones and Oliver Nelson. While the ensemble focuses primarily on traditional jazz ensemble literature, the group occasionally embarks upon large-scale musical performances of a non-traditional nature. Two recent examples of such endeavors include a performance of Robert Nelson's "Up South" (collaboration between jazz ensemble and symphony orchestra) and a recent performance of selections from Duke Ellington's "Sacred Concerts" (collaboration between jazz ensemble, full choir, vocal soloists and a tap dancer).
The ensemble performs twice per semester, and customarily performs with one nationally-acclaimed jazz artist per year. In addition to performing with the ensemble, our guest artists present clinics, conduct masterclasses and lecture on their personal research during their visit. Past guest artists have included Antonio Hart, Marcus Belgrave and Pat Bianchi.
Admittance into the ensemble is determined by audition, which is held during the first full week of classes each semester. For audition information, please contact the ensemble director.
Latin American Ensemble
Gabriel Espinosa, director
The Latin American Ensemble of Grinnell College was founded in the fall of 2001. Primarily comprised of college students and directed by a professor of music, the Ensemble has performed a variety of styles of latin music including bolero, son, cha, tango and Brazilian folk song. Each semester the group focuses on a different style of latin music, and the selected pieces are presented to the Grinnell community at the end of each term. In addition to the end-of-semester concerts, the ensemble has performed for a variety of local organizations: as part of "cruise night" at the retirement and nursing home community; in compliment of a Brazilian art exhibit at the Faulconer Gallery; for the Cinco de Mayo celebration at a local restaurant; and as part of the annual talent show organized by the College's International Student Organization.
Percussion, Marimba, and Steel Pan Ensemble
Stacey Ramirez, director
This ensemble provides musicians with an opportunity to study and perform a variety of music written for the percussion family of instruments. Interested students must attend a meeting and an informal private audition during the first week of class.
Symphonic Band
Mitch Lutch, director
The Symphonic Concert Band is open to experienced instrumentalists who would like to study and perform music from the wind and percussion band repertoire. Rehearsals are Monday evening. There will be two to four performance opportunities annually featuring the ensemble in full-length concerts and special events on campus. To determine chair placement, interested students should attend a meeting and participate in an informal private audition during the first week of class.
Young, Gifted, and Black Gospel Choir
Barry Jones, director
The Young, Gifted, and Black Gospel Choir (YGB) has a truly proud 21 year history of struggle and success, but we have always gained strength from the "joyful noise" which we share with each other, and the rest of the community. This has been true from the very beginning when, in 1967, six black first-year students came together in the basement of Younker Hall on campus at Grinnell College to share a common and powerful experience: gospel music.
The foundations which these students laid were not formalized until 1973. At that time, YGB's founding members, Milton Rolland and Gwendolyn Moore, requested that our first Director, Cecil Lytle, who was an associate professor of Music at Grinnell, help them increase both YGB's size and level of excellence. Prof. Lytle was able to accomplish these goals with great success. The choir was organized around three basic principles. As Prof. Lytle wrote, these were:
1. cultural uniformity as a result of the Black Church experience
2. a strong desire to continue that same cultural heritage while pursuing higher education at Grinnell College
3. the choir's expressed desire to act as an active agent in raising money for the Martin Luther King Scholarship Fund at Grinnell College.
The name of the choir was taken from a work entitled To Be Young, Gifted, and Black by the famous black writer Lorraine Hansberry. With this strong foundation, the choir grew to 48 members. Practicing 6-8 hours a week, the choir was able, in 1974, to record a record entitled Young, Gifted, and Black: In Concert. They performed around Iowa, often accompanied by Spaces, which was Grinnell's jazz-rock ensemble.
Since this auspicious beginning, YGB has gone through many transformations. YGB has performed in a number of cities including: Des Moines, Waterloo, Marshalltown, Iowa City, Kansas City, Chicago, Madison, Memphis, New Orleans, Los Angeles, New York, and Washington D.C.
We have had our share of trials, however. In 1981, the number of people in the choir dwindled to seven. These seven members had the same passionate love for gospel music that the first six students felt as they sang in the basement of Younker Hall in 1967. Today, YGB has once again grown and includes over 30 members.
As is to be expected, YGB has changed significantly in 21 years. We no longer have the bond of "cultural uniformity." Instead, we use our diversity as a bond. Our choir has members from different cultures, nationalities, and races. We feel these differences only make us stronger. In one of our programs from years past is this quote from W.E.B. DuBois The Souls of Black Folks, "...sometime, somewhere, men will judge men by their souls, and not by their skins." In YGB, we strive to create such a place, while continuing a tradition we inherited from YGB's original members: the celebration of Black American culture through Gospel Music.

Zimbabwean Mbira Ensemble
Tony Perman, director
The mbira is a handheld instrument with metal keys played with the thumbs and right index finger played in the Shona community of Zimbabwe. In our ensemble, students will focus on playing this instrument, but will also learn how to sing in the appropriate style and play the hosho, a set of gourd rattles, as their interests take them. There is no written music and everything is learned aurally. The primary goal is to learn the specifics of technique and style for this instrument and to play as a group. The mbira is a participatory instrument and is rarely played solo, thus the rewards of collective music-making are emphasized. The mbira repertoire is a rich body of songs dedicated to the ancestral spirits for whom they are played. Learning to play the mbira with others can be a rewarding musical and social experience that will hopefully last longer than your College career.
Studio Ensembles (associated with music lessons)
Fresh Flutes
Claudia Anderson, director
Not offered for credit
Fresh Flutes from Grinnell is one of the ensembles open to flutists at Grinnell College, founded in 1989 and in its 21st season presenting concerts. The ensemble performs in duo, trio, quartet and full choir formats. Any intermediate-to-advanced level flutist on campus is welcome to participate. You need not be taking flute lessons, though the majority of the ensemble is made up of members of the flute studio. The Music Department owns alto and bass flutes and several piccolos. Dr. Claudia Anderson is director and head of the flute studio at Grinnell.
Fresh Flutes is a terrific musical experience, a wonderful flute "bonding" experience, and lots of fun! We perform twice a year in Sebring-Lewis Recital Hall on campus (one of the country's best hall acoustics for flute) or the Faulconer Gallery in conjunction with concurrent exhibits, and often at the annual Iowa Flute Festival. Grinnell College will host the IFF in 2013, an event which draws all the major flute studios in the state of Iowa and features world-class guest artists. Please contact Claudia Anderson for further information regarding Iowa Flute Festival 2013.
Please contact Claudia Anderson at anderso5 with further questions regarding Fresh Flutes and/or the flute studio at Grinnell College.
Harp Ensemble
Kristin Maahs, director

Harp Ensemble is an ad hoc group under the direction of harp instructor, Kristin Maahs. It consists of harp students and guest musicians that play together for the sheer joy of making music with others. You can hear members of the ensemble at the studio harp recital held at the end of each semester.
We choose repertoire that fits the interests and the technical abilities of the group. This includes works by classical composers, traditional Celtic tunes, dance arrangements from the Latin Americas, and more. The ensemble encompasses a broad spectrum of musical styles and experience levels.
Instruments: The music department owns and makes the following harps available for student use:
- Lyon-Healy Concert Grand (85 CG) purchased 1999

Highcountry Dreams
I drew two good Mule Deer tags this year (NM 2A rifle and CO 75/751 3rd season) and was hoping someone could offer some advice on where to start looking. I have never been to either unit and won't have time to scout. The NM 2A hunt is a drop camp with San Juan River Outfitters; the CO 75/751 hunt is DIY. I have been focusing my research on the CO hunt and am looking at the area around Vallecito Lake, but am not sure if the bigger bucks will still be there or will have pushed to winter range near Bayfield. Any comments would be much appreciated.

Poll: Americans Don't Like Justin Bieber, Want Justin Timberlake For President
Sorry, Beliebers! And congrats, Jessica Biel — you could be First Lady someday.
Public Policy Polling surveyed 571 voters nationwide on May 6 and May 7, asking them how they feel about various music stars.
For example, one question was, "Do you have a favorable or unfavorable opinion of Justin Bieber?" Only 20 percent said "Favorable"; 54 percent said "Unfavorable"; and 26 percent picked "Not Sure." That's an average across all ages, from 18 to over 65. It sounds like this was a phone survey of a demographic that doesn't know who Skrillex is (he got 54 percent "Not Sure"). Their favorite genre of music was "Country" with "Rap" taking 50 percent as least favorite.
This group thinks very favorably of Justin Timberlake, Adele, Taylor Swift and Beyonce. In fact, when asked whom they'd like to see as President of the United States, among a group of options, Justin Timberlake took the top spot, followed by Adele, who is British and wouldn't be eligible anyway.
According to PPP, Justin Bieber was the only artist whose unfavorability rating stretched across partisan lines, with Democrats, Republicans and Independents all thinking the same negative thoughts. So ... THANK YOU, JUSTIN BIEBER! You just brought America together.
Check out the full survey. It's ... illuminating.

By Jeff Mason
SAN FRANCISCO (Reuters) – President Barack Obama has sent a team to Texas to assess whether a U.S. National Guard deployment would help to handle an immigration crisis at the Mexican border, White House officials told Reuters on Wednesday, having so far resisted Republican calls for such a move.
The team, made up of officials from the Department of Defense and the Department of Homeland Security, departed on Tuesday and will be on the ground through Thursday.
The White House had previously resisted calls from Republicans to deploy the National Guard to fight the onslaught of migrants from Central America because most of the unaccompanied minors and others making the crossing were turning themselves in voluntarily.
But during a meeting with Texas Governor Rick Perry earlier this month, Obama said he was open to ordering the deployment as a temporary solution. He directed Secretary of Defense Chuck Hagel to send the team of evaluators to assess the situation, one White House official said.
The officials said the federal team would study whether such a role would be useful and make recommendations upon its return.
"There's no foregone conclusion," another official said.
Perry, a potential Republican presidential candidate in 2016, said on Monday he would deploy up to 1,000 Texas National Guard troops to the state's border with Mexico to boost its security efforts in fighting illegal immigration.
Obama is currently on a fundraising swing in California. He returns to Washington on Thursday.
On Friday he is scheduled to meet with the leaders of Honduras, Guatemala and El Salvador to discuss cooperation on the influx of child migrants, which has become both a humanitarian and political crisis for the Obama administration.
The meeting comes as the number of unaccompanied minors crossing the border into the Rio Grande Valley in Texas has begun to drop off.
U.S. Senate Democrats on Tuesday proposed cutting $1 billion from President Barack Obama's $3.7 billion emergency funding request to deal with a surge of some 57,000 undocumented Central American children across the southern border.
Obama on July 8 asked lawmakers to approve $3.7 billion to bolster border security and speed deportation proceedings, but Congress has yet to take action on the request. At a luncheon on Tuesday, Senate Democrats discussed what their response should be.
"Based on a review of what is needed…to meet needs at the border, the bill reduces the president's request by $1 billion," said Senate Appropriations Committee Chairwoman Barbara Mikulski.
Besides border funding, the Senate Democrats' bill also includes $615 million for fighting wildfires and $225 million to help Israel speed up work on an anti-missile defense system.
It was unclear if these provisions will help get Republican votes for the measure.
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, a Democrat, told reporters he hoped Congress would take action on the emergency funding before it starts its August recess in about 10 days. "These agencies are going to run out of money in mid-August," Reid said.
Many Republicans in both houses of Congress say they are unlikely to approve emergency funding without changes to a 2008 human anti-trafficking law. They want federal authorities to be able to more easily deport children who enter the United States illegally from El Salvador, Guatemala and Honduras.
But many congressional Democrats are balking, saying they do not want to speed deportation of children escaping violence in their own countries. Many of the children are trying to reunite with relatives living in the United States.
No change to the anti-trafficking law will be included in the Senate bill, Mikulski said.
Reid said he thought the 2008 law did not need to be changed because the president had "sufficient leeway" under it now.
Republican Senator John Cornyn of Texas told reporters that just approving more money without making changes in the 2008 law was "no solution to the problem."
He said the other fundamental cause of the border problem was an impression abroad that "if you can make it to the United States, you'll be able to stay," an impression he said was fueled by Obama's decision in 2012 to ease deportations of some children brought to the United States illegaly by their parents before mid-2007.
In the Republican-run House of Representatives, Speaker John Boehner said last week he was unsure lawmakers could agree on their response to Obama's request for help with the border crisis this month. He said on Tuesday that a Republican working group on border issues had finished its work and would present recommendations to the Republican caucus this week.
The Obama administration has been struggling to gain control of the influx of newcomers, which is overwhelming immigration resources and leading to scattered protests from people angry at the government for housing border crossers in their communities.

Very fair
I think this is much more realistic and fair regarding attacking FICA/payroll taxes. The bigger and completely related battle however is over the phrase "entitlements". We are "entitled" to Social Security benefit payments ostensibly because we either personally, or through our family, or through our member of the society, have "paid", via payroll taxes into the SS. That has been equated with "entitlement" due to actually being a living human being in our society endows us with rights to actually survive. So that particular phrase is now a RW badge of shame in the Ayn Rand sense.
We all know this, right?

I was wondering if it would be possible to add an icon over a number recognised from Zimlet Phone.
When the zimlet recognizes a number in the webUI, it's simply being written in blue and underlined which make some people unsuspicious on the fact that you can click on it.
Or is there any other way to focus the user on a recognized number ?

Average Customer Review: based on 10 reviews.Rating: Pinnacle 5mm Escape 5 Front Zip Shorty Wetsuit Review - Scuba Gear Customer Reviews
Cannot find ladies 2x short wetsuit, advice?
Hello Cheryl, this suit does not come in a women's 2XL size. If you are looking at a shorty wetsuit in a women's 2XL take a look at the http://www.scuba.com/scuba-gear-258/056656/Henderson-3mm-Thermoprene-Wetsuit-Jacket.html, or the http://www.scuba.com/scuba-gear-258/056811/Akona-by-Sherwood-3mm-Shorty..html. If you have any other questions or would like to place an order please feel free to give us a call at 1.800.347.2822.
Im a female age 72, 5 foot tall 200 pounds with a 50 inch waist. Most wetsuits taper in at the waist so they dont fit me. My waist tapers out. Do you have any advice?
Hello Laura, when you are sizing a wet suit or dive skin. The two most important measurements are going to be your chest and waist. Height is a secondary measurement and weight you throw out the window. Weight has nothing to do with the sizing of a wetsuit. If you have any other questions please feel free to give us a call at 1.800.347.2822.
i guess what im asking is: is this suit OK to swim in ?
The differences in suits made for scuba and snorkeling such as you'd see in a scuba shop and ones for swimming are that scuba/snorkel suits are made to keep the diver warm with very limited motion. They are made for the diver whose arms will be positioned at their side or possibly folded beneath them. They are not designed for the arm motion a freestyle swimming stroke or even a breast stroke requires. The are flexible and will allow the swimmer this range of motion for a time, but eventually based on the fit of the suit it will begin to rub and chaffe under the arms and around the shoulders. Suits more suitable for swimming can be found on our Swimming/Triathlon page found http://www.scuba.com/scuba-gear-608/Swimming-Triathlon.html
can you swim over 1 mile in these suits ? doing alcatraz...also my 15 year old daughter is 55 120 pounds 25 inch waist and 34in chest , what size shorty should she get for this ?
There is no limitation on the distance any products for scuba or snorkeling can be used outside of the amount of air a person may use on a dive. The ability to swim in this product over a mile in cold northern California waters is impossible for us to state based on the tolerances of the user. From the sizing you gave, the Ladies XS would be the best fit.
I plan to use the shorty on its own in warmer waters. How does the full length zip prevent water flushing in from the leg where the zip ends?
I plan to play watervolleyball throughout the winter months. I get cold very easily and even in Central Florida it can be chilly. What wetsuit product would you recommend? I would prefer a "shorty" style. Secondly, i wear a womans size 14 so what size would i take? I dont want anything tight fitting.
Unfortunately we've no experience with that sport, but it seems like first off you'd want to look at something with some sort of superstretch neoprene. That will offer the greatest mobility and flexibility. After that the water temps you are playing in will have a hand in determining the thickness of suit you need. Keeping in mind that playing a sport you will generate a great deal more heat than a diver will, so you can get by with a thinner suit. I'd recommend no greater than a 3mm suit. Lastly sizing. You always want to use your waist and bust/chest measurements as your most important measurements. After that height is the next most important. Weight you can generally ignore completely.
Do you have a store in San Francisco? Or, if the size cant fit me, how would you charge for the exchange/refund? Any shipping charges coz its over $25 and its a free shipping item?

Im looking for a warm suit to participate in a 12 hour thrash session at Coronado Bay in San Diego in February. The water temp will be about 60* and I need to be able to run, do push-ups, etc in this suit and stay warm in the surf. Is this a good suit for this? If not, what is?
Hello Emily, yes this suit would be the suit that I would suggest for you. When you are sizing a wetsuit or dive skin. The two most important measurements are going to be your chest/bust and waist. Height is a secondary measurement and weight is the last measurement you take into account.
i want to buy the pinnacle 5mm front zip shorty wetsuit, but cannot find the sizing chart for women. i am 52" weigh 105 lbs and chest 35". pls. send me the link to the womens sizing chart for the 5mm front zip shorty wetsuit. i has bought the henderson shorty in a size 6, but it was too short in the crotch area. thank you.
When you click on sizing chart underneath this item all that populates is the mens sizing chart. I am a woman 5 feet 7 in and weigh 160. What size should I get? Thanks Candy
i got to the item page from the link to this item shown on this page: http://www.scuba.com/scuba-gear/wet-suits.html. it says the suit is priced from $79.95but i checked all sizes and the price comes up as $109.95 on them all. what happened?

Am wandering about the Pinnacle 5mm Escape and the Open Box/ Demo... no sizes are listed... how does one choose? http://www.scuba.com/shop/UsedProduct.aspx_category_2_hashvalue_150604_fromsearch_1 Thanks. John
i am looking for a 4mm (minimum) shorty with a back zip...every front zip I have tried is too difficult to exit. Im 510 140 lbs. water temps about 65-68. I swim 7 days a week in a pool and do a lot of rehab work for myself and others. Any suggestions? Thx in advance.
i ordered this wetsuit last year in size medium. however, the sizing chart shows 2 different choices for size medium. the only difference is the weight range. my order # from dec. 16, 2013 was 10493070the inside of the wetsuit shows batch: s1212074size: mitem: spn-370. can you tell me which size medium i ordered because i want to order it again. i weigh about 106 lbs. & am 52". thank you.
Hi, I am looking to do some swimming on the beaches around Boston during summer and the water temperature is 60 degrees according to some websites! Is this a good wetsuit to get, my research indicates that 5mm is enough but is there going to be a problem that it is a shorty? Then again I am not looking to do anything crazy, just a little off the beach swimming with swimm fins, maybe an hour or so at the time? Thanks
Pinnacle's latest evolution of the Escape two-piece suit system comes in both 5mm and 7mm thicknesses. Both are step-in shorty vests that can be used with any jumpsuit of any thickness or
style to create a two-piece wetsuit for maximum warmth, or as a stand alone product
in warmer waters. They can even be worn with skins in temperate oceans.
7mm suit includes a built in hood
• Both include titanium lined neoprene material
• Double glued and blind stitched construction
• Reinforcing disks on every seam intersection
• A full length diagonal zipper that fully opens on the left thigh
• The 7mm variety even has a built-in hood!
The key step to making any wetsuit perform to its ultimate potential is reducing water transfer. This process, whereby water from the diving environment enters and exits the wetsuit, allows cold water to enter the suit and lets bodywarmed water exit; thus chilling the diver, even in tropical waters. PINNACLE nearly eliminates water transfer by creating better barriers to keep cold water out, making more form-fitting products that prevent internal water movement, employing the renowned Merino™ lining system to enable body heat to warm internal water, and then making it extremely difficult for that warm water to escape.
In order to prevent water entry and egress, PINNACLE employs the latest technology in sealing systems. Features like honeycomb o-ring wrist seals, Orcaskin™ forearm gussets, smoothskin chimney seals in the ankles, roll-neck collars with smoothskin sealing surfaces, smoothskin-to-smoothskin sealing surfaces on 10mm spine pads, and the innovative Pinnacle Defense System (P.D.S.) combine in PINNACLE suits to create a significantly better water barrier than in other brands. These sealing systems work as checkpoints, neither allowing water in the suit nor out.
The second step, having a more form-fitting suit, is achieved by offering divers more choices in sizes. PINNACLE offers as many as 17 male, 12 female and 4 children's sizes in wetsuits, as well as more sizes of boots, gloves, and hoods than most other manufacturers.
PINNACLE has the ability to customize suits to some extent to fit people with more challenging shapes, but with up to 33 stock sizes, one is sure to fit almost any diver perfectly; and a tighter, better-fitting suit leaves less room for water to move, which keeps the diver warmer.

Anyone who's done battle with a bureaucracy knows that the most difficult ear to speak into is the one that's connected to a mouth with the power to say yes or no. Voices in favor of change, no matter how loud and compelling, can easily be drowned in a symphony of established structures, not to mention competing interests and conflicting policies. Advocacy of any sort can be a daunting task, but when the advocate is a patient, and the issue is his life, then "Silence = Death," as ACT UP said during the AIDS epidemic.
Patients with certain kinds of dementia, for example, can suffer just as badly from a wrong diagnosis as from the lack of access to therapy. Cancer patients need answers to questions specific to their own individual lives that often go unanswered. Policies that make it difficult for otherwise appropriate patients to participate in clinical trials need to be legislated. Patients spread across geographies must bridge time and space to meet in solidarity, and to push their causes past the doorstep and onto the dinner table of the decision-makers, wherever those deciders dine.

If you want to reshape those rivers, you can have them anastomose, if they're on a flat enough plain.
I think your city symbols might be a little too big for the map.
Attached is a copy that I scribbled all over; hope the comments are useful.
Hello! I just recently joined, and I also just recently purchased CC3 and a couple of ProFantasy's add-ons. I've gone through a light tutorial as well as read up on some other very basic tips, and I've been able to start working on a map.
This map is for a Pathfinder campaign I'm running. I had a previous version that was just a basic hand-drawn sketch, so this is the first attempt at a higher quality map. It's not finished, and I already have some things I want to edit (e.g., the coloring under the northern foresty areas is way too light in my opinion) but I'd like to get some feedback. At this point, I'm running into the issue of trying to balance space and objects. I want to fill the map enough to have it be appealing, but I don't want to cram something into every available space. A lot of the southern area has been left alone for this reason. I kind of wanted to wait til I hear some constructive criticism. The rivers to the south are also bothering me. I wanted more of a network, instead of just one river, but... Something feels off and I can't put a finger on it.
The city/town symbols are varied intentionally. Most fit the same theme, but a couple to the south and again to the southwest are different to represent cultural and design differences. It's kind of a city-state area, so despite the small size, it contains a bit of diversity.
Anyway, just to through it out there, I'm going more for a representation feel instead of a realistic look, but I don't want to use that as a crutch or an excuse. I still want things to belong and make sense.
If you want to reshape those rivers, you can have them anastomose, if they're on a flat enough plain.

Thanks for the quick feedback. I'll fidget with the city symbols and see what comes out. The comments are definitely useful and it gives me some direction to go in. In terms of the Marita question, it's a really large city on the south side but there's a keep and large town on the north side to help provide control over the bay.
What would you suggest for creating a localized marsh? Would that anastomose style work for that? I've been to bayous before but that's so different from seeing and understanding what's happening from an aerial view.
New comment (edit): I just noticed the part where you mentioned that a river was flowing up the hills. I intended for it to be coming down out of the hills (near Telso), so if for some reason that doesn't look to be the case, can you explain why? I don't think I'm seeing what you're seeing.
Last edited by Joshua; 03-21-2012 at 11:37 PM.
OK, so: It looked like the river near Telso was going up into the hills from the lake and then down the other side of the hills. Is the lake supposed to be at high elevation as well? If so I totally misunderstood the map.
I'd name the city across from Marita with a second name. Think San Francisco/Oakland. I suspect this would happen naturally.
Here are some great views of salt marshes from above, and you can also look at marshy places on Google Maps in satellite view for reference (try 31.361846,-81.466026).
Ahh, I see exactly what you're saying about the river, now. I didn't mean for it to be the same river traveling through the hills, but two separate rivers. But I can definitely see how it could look like that to a viewer. The lake is supposed to be down in elevation, with that shorter river feeding it. I'll tinker to make it clear.
The town north of the bay is simply referred to as "Marita Keep" since that's pretty much the original structure there, but a town eventually grew around it. It's governed by the same politics (and politicians) and it mostly just an extension of the southern city. I didn't put "Marita Keep" on the map because it's so close in name and because I didn't want to clutter the map, and because of its "extension" nature... Does that fly? They're not separate entities like Frisco/Oakland, but I guess it could also be renamed as a fantasy-eqsue suburb if it needs it.
Thanks for the marsh views!
Welcome to the Guild! Have some rep for your first WIP thread, it's looking pretty good so far!
Well, here's the newest update. I tinkered with the rivers some more and changed some of the inking effects. Filled in more of the map, to the point where I think I'm happy with the amount of fill. I tried messing with the sizing of the city symbols but I'm just not happy with them smaller because a lot of the detail is lost. So instead, I might try changing the city symbol set to something else and see how that looks at a smaller size. I still need to mess with the rivers to the west, since they're splitting...
But the river around Lyndale Keep is supposed to be split in a manner of speaking. It surrounds the town, but it was artificially adapted to do that for defensive and irrigation purposes. I'm not sure how to show that yet. I want to draw it differently so that it looks a bit more distinctly manufactured, but I don't want it to look like "sloppy cartography" if that makes sense. Suggestions welcome!
The area around the ruins are supposed to be swampy/bayou/wetlands-ish. It's a first attempt at that, so suggestions definitely welcome for that too.
Latest WIP as of 3/26/12.

Oh whoops. I was supposed to be keeping up with this thread.
I like the modifications!
The river that goes to the point south of Danwyn, though, bugs me. A river either is eroding away the land and therefore meets the ocean in a cut-in part of the coast (think the Sacramento/San Joaquin flowing out into San Francisco Bay), or it's depositing sediment and therefore ends in a round delta (think the Mississippi). Going out to a pointy spot like that really doesn't happen. Now, the topography there is low enough that you could reshape that point into a round lobe and make it swampier and full of wiggly splitting streams, and then Danwyn would be in a New Orleans type environment. That might look cool. Otherwise you should just have that river flowing to somewhere -- anywhere! -- that is not the outer tip of that peninsula.
With regards to Lyndale Keep, you could make it look more artificial, maybe? Like, have the river split into a clearly unnatural shape just before the Lyndale city walls.

Hello to everyone! I am new to the forum. This Sept. a friend and I are driving to Idaho for a DIY backpacking elk hunt. We both have a rifle B-tag for the selway and were planning on hunting unit 19. We have studied and trained for this hunt. However there is still a lot things that we do not know. One thing we were wondering is if access was possible or practical if we came from Riggins toward the south side of the unit across the salmon river? If so, is there a lot of people parked, camping, or hunting here? Do they hike in from here a couple of miles? My friend and I have never been to Idaho and will not have a chance to do any scouting. So we were also wondering if this area had good hunting. We were also thinking of getting a deer tag for this unit. I am not looking for someones spot just wondering if this area is a good plan. any information would be greatly appreciated. thank you in advance.
I already posted this in the Idaho section, thought posting it here would help.

Great sampler for the price. I love it!
If you want a good sampling of cigars this is the go to. This sampler will definitely give you a good idea of what's out there. If you just want just a couple or so of certain sticks at a time buy a couple of these. The samplers are great for trying out different cigars.
Awesome handout cigars for friends who don't normally smoke.
This was my starter pack a lot of good cigars. Except the Hesitant Pirate; it was stiff and burned badly. There were only a few I didn't like.
This sampler has quite a few good cigars, but most are good for when people bum them from you.
For the price you can't beat it. Only a couple of the cigars I didn't like. And that is because I prefer a Med-Full flavored cigar.
For the price it is excellent. That being said my pallet enjoyed about 5 of them. The next 5 were ok for a casual smoke. and the other 5 I would never smoke again. There are a variety in here. I have a much more picky pallet than most. They all drew pretty well, which draw consistency rates very highly in my book.
30 hand-rolled cigars for 30 bucks... nuff said.
What can I say? I enjoyed every single stick from the Ron Mexico to each and everyone of the Victor Sinclairs. I understand I may not have the up scale pallet as some that turn the nose up to any smoke less then $100, well I say thanks. I will buy these every chance I get until my humidor overflows with these great smokes for $35 at a time. That just gives me a reason to buy another humidor. These are great smokes; thanks again Cigars International.
I feel like I stole something. The price for this sampler is amazing! I just received the order and have smoked two different cigars. The Cuban Delights and the Victor Sinclair. Both are outstanding! Will definitely re-order again.
Fantastic deal! Tasty cigars. I went from dollar cigars to these, no going back.
The name says it. It was, what I considered, my first bigger cigar sampler purchase. I still don't know where half these smokes came from or who they were made by. However, for the price per smoke, you can't beat it if you are looking for a daily cigar or something to give to others.
Best deal on the site, most are decent cigars and the sheer number you get makes it well worth it.
Best cigars for the dollar.
I enjoyed this sampler pack. I still have a few left so burn from it. Overall, it introduced me to quite a few cigars that I enjoyed such as the Victor Sinclair line. There was a small amount of discoloration in the wrappers from most likely water. Some of the wrappers had a small hole in them here and there along with a small tear here and there. Generally, this sampler is good for the somewhat beginning cigar smoker that would be willing to sit back for a decent time and really open their minds to the traditions and flavors of cigar smoking. having said this, I would not buy this sampler a second time because I did not enjoy about 2/5 of the sampler. Everybody has different taste I suppose.
Not so great. Most of the wrappers unravel and many of the cigars have green spots on them. I would not buy this again.
Love this site!!! Great offers and always find the perfect cigar at just the right price....Thanks CI!
Nice smokes for the price...thanks CI!
OMG this was the best deal I could ask for!
My 3rd order for the Po' Boy pack. Some were good some were not so good. I wish i could buy just the good ones but could not find them on this website. Will buy again.
Got this for a buddy.....Said there are a lot of good sticks for the $$
Good bargain but truthfully ended up giving away most. Just nothing real interesting.
A fun selection with some real treasures. Well worth the price.
Great value!
Thank you for the fast delivery. I will enjoy this sampler and shall return for future purchases.
There were a few Victor Sinclairs in the pack I liked, otherwise I'd just use these to pass out to people without cigars of their own.
For $30, I think this is a great way to sample cigars and I may get it again. I was expecting less for the price but these are big and come with some good cigars. A lot of just alright cigars, some are pretty enjoyable but some are tough. The Duque is hard to smoke but the Don Rafael was enjoyable. There are others that I really liked but I can't remember and I haven't even gotten half way. I'll update the review once I'm done but so far, I am looking to buy another batch.
Great Value! I purchased this as a starter pack to fill out my new Standing 75ct table top humidor. Looked good on the website and even better once I opened the package. It finally set in how many great cigars I received at only 1$ a stick. A great way to help expose you to a wider variety then you would normally look at!
It's ok. Good handouts to friends or for a relaxing, everyday smoke. I enjoyed the Victor Sinclair cigars and the Hesitant Pirate. Not the most complex of flavors and (at least to my taste) the cigars that were rated medium were pretty mild. Some of the cigars are constructed poorly, but overall not a bad value.
Good cigars for a buck apiece and a damn fine sampler.
amazing selection..many ring sizes, all good! Great buy
Arrived very dry and even after letting them sit in the humidifier for a week, a few still fell apart. Disappointing.
You get what you pay for. I purchased this sampler to find a good every day smoke and the only one that really stood out was Joya Del Jefe.
I can honestly say, was a little harsh for me, it was a great buy, for the amount of cigars you get. Maybe someone else will have better luck
great value,excellent smoke, rather smoke them then a lot of the big name brands
I dont know if im just to used the the Acid cigar line but i was not to much of a fan of this sampler pack.
This is a great selection for the price
There are some good smokes in this sampler and some that are awsome to give the boys (which dont care what they get)when they come home. I will keep this one around for a while.
I ordered this sampler for my husband for xmas. I don't know Jack about cigars and didn't want to risk getting a pack he wouldn't like. For the price it's worth it. He has options and doesn't feel bad about tossing the ones he didn't like. The spare of what he doesn't like he sets aside for his buddies and tells them "look what my wife got us for the garage" Thanks CI this wife gets an A+ for awesomeness!
These cigars are of identical quality to the $3.79-$4.59 variety available at my local cigar shop, good draw, smooth smoke, but leaves something to be desired. The price is right, and a beginner to cigars would enjoy this sampler very much. I however will be reinvesting in the "[Chosen One III]" sampler, which contained 35 wonderful cigars, and 5 that I didn't like, but am not embarrassed to offer to company.
Got this one in the mail the other day. Even straight out the box the boys here in Afghanistan love it. I am going to have to order another one just to have enough for myself. Good brands and decent smokes so far. Probably half way through and have had even a whimper of a complaint.
This is the best deal on line. Put these in your humidor for a month or so and you will be very happy with each one. I only buy from C.I. now and have not been disappointed. Great Price, Great Cigars, Fast Service.
There weren't any that I loved but there were six or seven worth smoking the rest were OK at best but it's hard to beat for the money.
Surprisingly good cigars for the price. Very nice every day cigars
About all the way through the sampler now. No real standouts - but what do you expect for the price and quantity. The better ones - Victor Sinclair - after half burn, Duque - really pretty decent, Oro Cubano - good. Again $29.00 for 30 cigars - heck I'll give the bad ones away to the always present freeloader.
Just ordered my 2nd round....like everyone else is saying GREAT for working around the house and handing out.. Don't expect these to replace your "sit down and relax" smokes but a great value.
Great value for the money. First online order of cigars. Glad I chose CI. Will definitely be buying from CI in the future.
Great smokes for yard cigars...
Great sampler. Can't beat the price either.
Consistent quality and the best value.
If you like the Churchill (7" x 50) style cigars and do not favor one blend then I believe this is the best deal on the internet. Look at it this way, if you do enjoy one of the cigars after a few pulls then toss it and try a differ blend. What is a dollar? Just give the second cigar of the blend you did not like to your least favorite brother-in-law. As they say in the description winner, winner, chicken dinner. Plus you cannot beat the excellent customer service and fast shipping from Cigar International.
The Po' Boy is a nice sampler. Good quality!
I ordered this sampler just to fill my humidor, and to bum out. I smoked a couple of them and they are not the worst I have smoked; you get what you pay for....Over all, this is a good, cheap sampler that I would keep buying to have smokes to bum. Hence, PO' BOY SAMPLER
Not a bad deal. Great for around the yard. Smoked more then half of them now. Thank you guys.
I've ordered this sampler twice. For a buck a piece, and a good hour of smoking, not bad at all!! I'll be back for more!
On my 3rd Po' Boy Sampler, nice variety and selection. Great way to introduce my daughter (yep daughter) into cigars rather than the Convenience Store brands her and her friends had been smoking in college. Value plus variety at $1 a stick way to go!! One suggestion, get a good humidor and unwrap the sticks, sprinkle in some Olivia's...Yes I will keep on buying!!
Great deal for the money and the smokes ain't bad. Great way to sample many different Churchills. Some may become you favorites or at least make you look for them in the sale section.
I love them. A great value. Good work, Cigars International!
Great selection of sticks and not a bad one in the bunch, thanks CI as always a great deal at a great price!
About what you'd expect for $1/stick. Most were so loosely packed that you'll be lucky to get 30 min. Out of each of them.
Great value - different picks...some strong, some light. You cant beat this price - this is a affordable way to enjoy your cigars year round.
Really not as bad a bundle as some folks have stated. While it's certainly not top shelf cigars, there are a few that aren't too bad. I have actually enjoyed the Victor Sinclair sticks in the bundle. These are really great to have on hand in the humidor for visiting cigar moochers and those who can't tell the difference between a good stick or a bad one.
My new favorite deal on CI. Not a bad smoke in the bunch. Wasn't expecting much at a buck a stick but was I ever wrong. These are well worth the cost and will be a staple in my house. Thanks guys for adding a great deal for those of us on a limited income.
I ordered this pack a few days ago and received it today. A word of caution, these are not long filler cigars. I'm not sure what I was expecting for a buck a piece. I also ordered the unlike stu pack, hope those are better. These are more in line with something I would expect at a convenience store but with a natural wrapper.
I have purchased this sampler twice. Except for the Don Smith, they are all fine smokes. You can't go wrong with this one, just give the Don Smiths to one of your Mooch friends....
Not a bad bundle to keep around for hand outs.
This has to be one of the best bargains out there! The Victor Sinclair Primeros in this sampler are terrific they are made to to be aged in your humi, you have cigars in this sampler that are good for working in the garage and some for a special occasion.
Decent smokes for those house chore days. Also work well as Son-in-Law and cheap friends sticks. Just keep them home. Never admit to buying them and Do not bring these to the Cafe. All kidding aside they are fine smoke for a buck. Good to have around for the reasons stated above. I will buy Po' Boy's again C+
When I first saw the CI promo of 30 Churchils for $20, I thought it was a joke. Several of my cigar buddies and I ordered and were we surprised by the quality. Don't get me wrong. These are not great smokes, but they are not really bad. I had only one dog in the batch. I am ready to reorder now and find the price up to 30 sticks for $30 -still not bad.
Talk about a great bundle. It arrived on my doorstep the next day! I have had so much fun showing all of my friends and giving some away. Some of the cigars are so so but the majority of them are very good. Worth 30$ all day long.
I have only found two cigars in the sampler that I didn't enjoy. For the money the sampler is a excellent buy and i hope CI keeps this sampler for a long time.
I just received my load of churchills and it easily filled up my 50 cap. humidor with a few of the sweet shrapnel cigars here and there. I love to have stogies in my humidor that I can savor for a while for that sunset or round of golf or just offering to your buddies with a drink. These DO take a while to smoke and if you have the time, then this is perfect for the money in this economy. Now you keep smoking great cigars even on a tight budget. Thanks CI for this offer. I would get this again when I run out of these. Love the price and size.
Not a bad cigar in the package!
I actually found that I like the victor sinclairs, and they are all fairly good cigars for less than a buck a piece. Good "hand outs".
For 30 bucks, they ain't bad. I've actually found a few that I actually enjoyed. They are all churchill sized, a bit large for my liking. But, if that's what you like then this is a good choice if you happened to be low on funds...good yard smokes or for giving out to cheapskate "friends".
These are just fine for $30. Perfect for bumming out to friends who never have cigars of their own, won't smoke the whole thing, and don't know the difference between an Acid Kuba Kuba and a Phillies Blunt.

Sorry but I am calling this game over. That was TERRIBLE. Worst all a round game I have ever seen in the CPR era. I don't know what needs to be changed but something does....this is ********. Lovie Smith is a better OC than Mess is for **** sake.
Same as last year's bowl
^He'd be a good OC.
CPR needs to reevaluate how he prepares his team for bowls....big time

Sick of us losing these games and playing like dog crap in bowl games. Sickening.
Pathetic. Two years in a row.
Tulsa will kill us next year as well, need to find a way to buy it out...this is why I hated this bowl game
Just so disappointed
Putting in Jantz was a total mistake. The game was essentially over, Steele wasn't going to come in and win the game. So instead of sticking with your probable qb for next year, maybe give him some easy throws against a prevent defense and get a garbage td. At least some smallest amount possible of positive going into the offseason. Instead he sits and watches a turnover prone qb make another errant pass and think "I was pulled for this guy?" and question himself all offseason.
I don't think there was enough vaseline to go around after the first quarter when Tulsa just bent us over and took it to us.
They punched us in the face and we just took it. Our team looked like they could give two ***** less what happened in this game.
This game sums up why ISU can't have nice things. We just NEVER seize opportunities to grab momentum as a football program, and really as an entire athletic department.
We're a ******* terrible ball club. Just embarrassing.
How can that many ISU fans show up and then play like that. The Pinstripe and now this...
We are beginning to see a trend here and I ******* hate it.
Coach Rhoads just said it to Blakenship
"You whooped our ***."
That's all it was. They mauled us today.
Extremely disappointed in that effort and execution. Terrible all the way around. 2 nice plays. Otherwise a dismal effort by everyone involved. That's really not what you do for a fanbase that went all in on the bowl.
Kansas Must Be Destroyed
Sic Semper Jayhawks
The defense played good if not great. The offense was atrocious, and that really started and ended with poor offensive line play. Sam simply had no time.
If this thing is going to turn around, it needs to start there.

California legislators urge speedy inquiry into prison sterilizations
Story by Corey G. Johnson
SACRAMENTO – Legislators today fast-tracked an audit into why doctors under contract with the state sterilized nearly 150 female prison inmates from 2006 to 2010 without the required authorizations.
During a hearing at the State Capitol, members of the Joint Legislative Audit Committee unanimously approved the investigation into female sterilization and asked the California State Auditor's office to make the review its highest priority.
Assemblywoman Bonnie Lowenthal, D-Long Beach, and Sen. Hannah-Beth Jackson, D-Santa Barbara, of the California Legislative Women's Caucus requested the audit in response to an investigation by The Center for Investigative Reporting that found that nearly 250 inmates had received tubal ligations since 1997.
The women were signed up for the surgery while they were pregnant and housed at either the California Institution for Women in Corona or Valley State Prison for Women in Chowchilla, which is now a men's prison.
Former inmates and prisoner advocates maintain that prison medical staff coerced the women, targeting those deemed likely to return to prison in the future.
Tubal ligations have been restricted since 1994 to instances of medical necessity – and only when authorized by top state corrections officials. But a former medical official told CIR that prison medical staff considered the rule unfair and looked for ways around it.
Jackson told the committee that the audit is intended to address a range of unanswered questions, especially in light of California's history of forced sterilization stretching from the early 1900s to the 1970s.
"For those of us who serve in state government, this is irrevocably unacceptable," Jackson said. "The fact that this is the 21st century and we have to ask our state auditor to see if women are being coercively sterilized is absolutely unconscionable and, frankly, revolting."
State Auditor Elaine Howle said the review would examine the roles, responsibilities, policies and past practices of the state prison system and its federal receivership. The receiver has overseen medical care in all 33 of the state's prisons since 2006, when U.S. District Judge Thelton Henderson of the Northern District of California ruled that inmate health care was so poor that it violated the constitutional ban on cruel and unusual punishment.
Auditors will examine each sterilization case from the last eight years to determine the demographics of each inmate, including economic status, ethnicity, race, number of prison terms, number of pregnancies and number of births.
The probe also will try to determine whether each inmate consented to the sterilization and, if so, how that consent was obtained. One former inmate told CIR that she was asked repeatedly to consent, including when she was on a gurney and under sedation. Nonetheless, she refused.
Howle said the goal is to learn whether certain inmates were targeted, as well as whether laws and rules were followed. She estimated the work would take seven to eight months and cost more than $380,000.
"We want to really understand the whole scenario," Howle told the committee.
Joyce Hayhoe, spokeswoman for the federal receivership, said her office supports the review and will assist auditors in their work. But Hayhoe questioned the scope of the investigation, saying it would be more appropriate to also include sterilizations that occurred before the 2006 federal takeover.
"We owe the state of California the reason why this happened," Hayhoe said. "We had a regulation in place (during the 1990s) and, for some reason, this regulation was not followed. I think it's really important to find out the answer to this question. We need the whole picture."
Hayhoe stated that the receivership stopped all sterilizations in 2010.
Some lawmakers, however, said the focus on the receivership is warranted.


text: By Russ PankoninThe Imperial Republican Irrigators will get to offer testimony during next week's public hearing on a proposed reduction in annual allocation and increased limits on carryforward use. The hearing will be held Tuesday, Feb. 12, beginning at 10 a.m. at the Upper Republican Natural Resources District headquarters in Imperial. The two primary issues in the proposed rules focus on the new allocation for the next five years and carryforward use. On a split vote, the board is recommending a 12.5-inch allocation for the next five-year period. The proposal also carries a provision that limits the use of carryforward to a total of five inches during the allocation period. Additional carryforward can be used but those inches will count double instead of a one-to-one basis. The hearing will also address pooling rules. Pooling allows farmers to put or "pool" tracts together so the combined allocation can be shared amongst all the tracts in the pool. Presently, the actual use on each tract is charged against a tract. As proposed, the allocation on each tract will be averaged across all tracts in the pool, which can be no greater size than a township (six miles square) or a floating township. Tracts being added to a pool can bring in no more than three years of annualized allocation.

Actually, Philippines is one of the most open countries in Asia, especially since we're like the melting pot of cultures. The whole accent thing will get you places, but people get over that pretty soon over here. The whole services thing I have to agree with, especially with the whole government issue being tight here, but you guys will fit right in.
Haha, God and Dogar, I'm not sure if you'll find Manila as cumbersome as I do with all the traffic and that whole get-up-and-go lifestyle, but yeah. Where I'm at, it's like one of the chillest places in the country. city's developing pretty smoothly and the traffic hassle is like zilch. haha. probably just me.

As the NBA's July moratorium comes to an end on Wednesday, teams and players can, at long last, officially come to terms on new contracts and execute trades. That's the happy side of the free-agency period. The downside—for players, at least—is that the end of the moratorium means the start of the amnesty period.
NBA amnesty candidatesnba July 11, 2013 10:16am EDT July 10, 2013 10:05am EDT Amnesty week is upon us, and there is much speculation as to which players could be cut. However unlikely it is he'll be released, Carlos Boozer's monster contract is at the top of the debate, SN's Sean Deveney writes.
2 Charlotte Bobcats: Tyrus Thomas
Contract: Two years, $18 million.
The Bobcats will be letting go of Thomas, who had a rocky and injury-riddled tenure in Charlotte, in order to create salary room for the three-year, $41 million deal they will sign with center Al Jefferson. (UPDATE: The Bobcats officially cut ties with Thomas the day the moratorium was lifted.)
3 LA Lakers: Metta World Peace
Contract: One year, $7.7 million.
World Peace was still be a contributor with the Lakers, but after losing out on Dwight Howard, the team went into savings mode. Cutting World Peace's salary off the books should save the team about $12 million in luxury taxes.
4 Detroit Pistons: Charlie Villanueva
Contract: One year, $8.6 million.
Villanueva was not terrible last year, making 34.7 percent of his 3-pointers and averaging 6.8 points in 15.8 minutes. The Pistons have no use for him, though, and dumping his money would create more cap space. The only way Detroit hangs on to Villanueva is if it feels he can be used in a trade.
5 Milwaukee Bucks: Drew Gooden
Contract: Two years, $13.4 million.
The Bucks still need a point guard, and whether that turns out to be Brandon Jennings or Jeff Teague, the team could help its cause by creating cap space through the release of Gooden. If Milwaukee somehow loses out on both Teague and Jennings—unlikely, since Jennings is a restricted free agent—then Gooden might stick around as trade bait.
6 Toronto Raptors: Linas Kleiza
Contract: One year, $4.6 million.
Kleiza didn't play much during the season because of injuries, but still picked up the player option on his contract for next season, at $4.6 million. The Raptors have only one other amnesty candidate, Amir Johnson, and since they aren't going to cut him, acting on Kleiza makes sense.
7 Sacramento Kings: John Salmons
Contract: One year, $7.5 million.
The Kings are looking to create some cap room to sign guard Monta Ellis, and Salmons is a pretty easy target. He will be 34 in December and averaged just 8.8 points on 39.9 percent shooting.
8 Miami Heat: Mike Miller
Contract: Two years, $12.8 million.
Miller is 33, and in each of the past two offseasons, his contract has been on the amnesty chopping block. But the Heat stuck with him, and in each of the past two postseasons, Miller has rewarded them for that decision at some point. Whether paying the luxury tax on Miller's salary is worth the limited regular-season production he brings is a fair question, but because there aren't a whole lot of other players the Heat could bring in to replace Miller, the guess here is that the Heat stick with him again.
9 Chicago Bulls: Carlos Boozer
Contract: Two years, $32.1 million.
The Bulls have famously scrimped on the free-agent market because they employ four very expensive players—Boozer, Joakim Noah, Luol Deng and Derrick Rose—and no desire to be significant tax payers. Of those four, Rose and Noah are not going anywhere, but Deng has been discussed in trade scenarios. Despite a good year from Boozer (16.2 points, 9.8 rebounds), there hasn't been much trade interest for him, which means an amnesty waiver is possible, however unlikely.
10 OKC Thunder: Kendrick Perkins
Contract: Two years, $18.6 million.
Thunder general manager Sam Presti has had opportunities to use the amnesty provision on Perkins before, and might have done it last year to free up space with which to re-sign guard James Harden. But if he didn't do it then, he is not going to do it now.

Father of Missing Girl Wants Change of Venue For Trial
WATERLOO, Iowa (AP) - The father of one of two missing Iowa cousins is asking for his trial on drug charges to be moved.
The Waterloo-Cedar Falls Courier reports that Daniel Morrissey's attorney says his client cannot receive a fair trial in Black Hawk County.
Morrissey is the father of 10-year-old Lyric Cook, who disappeared with her 9-year-old cousin, Elizabeth Collins, while riding bikes in Evansdale on July 13th.
Morrissey and his associates have come under scrutiny from investigators because of his criminal history. He was scheduled to reach a plea bargain to meth charges the day before the girls'
disappearance, but changed his mind.
Defense attorney Kevin Schoeberl says a hearing on the change of venue request will happen later. He said Thursday his client's legal problems are unrelated to the disappearance.

The maximum penalty is nine years in prison.
The jury, which returned its verdict on Friday, acquitted Edouard on three counts of third-degree sexual abuse.
Four women in his former congregation at Covenant Reform Church in Pella say he coerced them into having sexual relations. Documents say the incidents occurred from 2003 to 2010.
Edouard quit his job at the church after the women complained.
