Go On – Season 1 Episode 9 – Recap and Review – Dinner Takes All
Recap and review of Go On – Season 1 Episode 9 – Dinner Takes All
After eight episodes, Go On feels like it's finally found a comfortable groove. The ensemble has a weird, atypical sort of chemistry, and the looseness of their interactions serves the story well, particularly with tonight's "Dinner Takes All". It's a Thanksgiving episode, which provides a context for the group's increasingly-frequent hangouts, as the gang gets together for Thanksgiving dinner at Ryan's office building. This setting allows the ensemble to volley back-and-forth, reacting to one another in a way that feels organic, resulting in comedy that feels less over-written. The dinner sequences take up comparatively less time when compared to the A-plot of the episode, though it still provides room for plenty of moments that flesh out character while also simply being funny. It feels like Go On is starting to deliver on its early promise, when "Dinner Takes All" is taken alongside last week's "Videogame, Set, Match".
The main story follows the arrival of Amy (Lauren Graham), a college friend of Ryan (Matthew Perry) and Steven's (John Cho). She's in town for a job interview, and will be staying with Ryan for a few days, a development that forces Ryan to consider his uncertainty as to whether or not he has feelings for her. The issue is forced when Steven announces his intention to make a move on Amy, which Ryan initially okays, before realizing he's made a mistake, and doing everything in his power to keep Steven and Amy from hooking up, even employing the group to run interference on his behalf. It's childish behavior, but not wholly uncharacteristic of Ryan, as he's known to the occasional child-like fit. Steven is understandably miffed by Ryan's constant interference, and their rivalry culminates in a game of Booze Rodeo, in which both men go to a bar and run from table to table, swiping a sip of strangers' drinks, one-at-a-time. Whoever gets the most drinks before getting punched is the winner. Ryan ultimately wins by attaining a new record of 11, but it's merely a capstone to a night of increasingly childish antics on his part. He confesses his feelings to Amy, who says that while she's always had feelings for Ryan, she can't be his first after Janie. And like that, they're back to being friends again, but with a tentative possibility of something more down the line. Lauren Graham is great in the role, as she and Matthew Perry have a very authentic chemistry, such that not only did they make a convincing pair of old college buddies, it was also evident from the start that both characters had feelings for the other. It's hard to get that kind of authenticity in a comedic performance these days, particularly on your average sitcom, but it's possible when you have two actors with natural chemistry. Of course, the chemistry comes easy when the two actors in question are real-life exes, as Perry and Graham famously are. However, that shouldn't diminish what they accomplish with the material (which isn't too shabby to begin with, really).
The rest of the episode doesn't really follow sitcom conventions, in that there's no clear B-plot in the episode. The time that would be spent on a B-plot in other sitcoms is used, here, to weave the rest of the ensemble into the A-plot, with Sonia (Sarah Baker), Danny (Seth Morris), and Mr. K (Brett Gelman) serving as Ryan's henchmen in his schemes to keep Steven away from Amy. On the fringes of this storyline is Owen (Tyler James Williams) whose mother (Vanessa Bell Calloway) comes to the group Thanksgiving dinner. Her perceived bossiness around her son is commented upon by Lauren (Laura Benanti), who offends Owen's mother by suggesting that perhaps she's doing this whole parenting thing wrong. Though the situation is more uncomfortable than funny (which might have been the point, as placing Owen's mother in the context of the group is an awkward situation to begin with), but the storyline is worth it for the payoff, in which Owen explains to his mother that the group is just something that works for him. He adds that while it might seem like he's choosing the group over her, what he has with the group is different from what he has with his mother – he'll always choose her, when it comes down to it. But he needs to be afforded the opportunity to be an individual. It's the most effective character beat of the episode, and it takes up all of four minutes of screen time. There's something to be said for the economy of this storytelling approach.
"Dinner Takes All" is a strong episode on a character level, but it's also got some great comedic moments. Mr. K's improvised song-that-isn't- really-a-song, "Electric Night", is great – particularly when a full version plays over a montage of Ryan trying to get some shut eye while Amy tosses and turns in bed next to him. There's also a fine sight gag at the beginning in which the group recreates The Brady Bunch show open. Anne (Julie White) also has one of the funnier bits in the series with her adopted, multicultural daughter and son, the latter of which fawns over Ryan incessantly. There's even mileage gotten out of how Yolanda (Suzy Nakamura) has been shaped by the influence of her "tiger mother" upbringing, amusingly chiding Owen's cello-playing skills in the episode tag. Go On isn't a perfect comedy just yet, but it feels like the show is shaping up to be a potential cornerstone comedy for NBC, which will be badly needed with the departures of both The Office and 30 Rock. While I don't know if Go On will ever aspire to the lofty heights of either of those latter shows' best seasons, I honestly believe Go On is good enough to fill the gaping void that their absence will leave for NBC. And that's something I wasn't always sure I'd be able to say earlier in the season. However, I feel confident enough in the show's quality, and potential, to say it now. I don't know that it will ever be television's best comedy, but there's absolutely nothing wrong with being a fun, breezy and (most importantly) funny show.

Shooting victim out of hospital, facing charges
Published: Thursday, April 18, 2013 at 12:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Thursday, April 18, 2013 at 3:09 p.m.
A Wilmington man shot in the leg Thursday afternoon was arrested upon release from the hospital.
Wilmington police officers placed Albert Jamarl Ellis, 25, into custody after learning he was wanted on outstanding warrants for assaulting a female, larceny and resisting, delaying and/or obstructing a public officer, according to a police department spokeswoman.
Ellis was arrested after being treated at New Hanover Regional Medical Center for a gunshot wound sustained about 2:31 p.m., when someone opened fire in the Houston Moore public housing development near 14th and Greenfield streets.
Nearby Mosley Performance Learning Center and Lakeside Academy were on lockdown for a short time, according to New Hanover County dispatch.
The spokeswoman, Lucy Crockett, said no one had been charged with the shooting.
Houston Moore hummed with talkative residents and children playing as police worked to reconstruct the string of events. Officers recovered several shell casings from a parking lot on the edge of Greenfield Street. One bullet grazed the spoiler of a black Honda Accord parked in the lot.

A look at this week's top recalls and product safety information.
Toyota recalls 1.9 million Prius cars for software
Toyota is recalling 1.9 million hybrid Prius cars globally for a software glitch that could cause the vehicle to stall.
Toyota Motor Corp. said Wednesday that 997,000 Prius cars in Japan, some 713,000 in North America, another 130,000 in Europe and the rest in other regions are being recalled for a problem in the software to control the hybrid system.
The software could cause transistors to become damaged, causing warnings lights to go off, driving power to be reduced or the car to stop. The recalled vehicles were manufactured between March 2009 and February 2014.
The Japanese automaker suffered massive recalls starting in 2009, affecting more than 14 million vehicles for problems including floor mats, gas pedals and brakes.
Toyota recalls 216K Lexus, Toyota models for brake problems
Toyota Motor Corp is recalling 261,114 Lexus and Toyota brand vehicles in the United States because various safety systems, including stability control and anti-lock brakes, could become inoperative.
It is recalling vehicles from model years 2012 and 2013 because an electrical component in the brake actuator, which adjusts fluid pressure in each wheel cylinder, may experience increased resistance, according to documents filed with the U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. The vehicles affected in the recall include 54,010 of the Lexus RX350 crossover vehicles and 100,052 of the Toyota Tacoma pickup trucks, both from model years 2012 and 2013, as well as 107,052 of the Toyota RAV4 SUVs from model year 2012, according to the NHTSA documents.
That could lead to reduced vehicle control and an increased risk of a crash as various safety systems, including traction control, become inoperative. Toyota and Lexus dealers will update the software for the skid control electronic unit for free.
GM recalling nearly 780,000 compact cars
General Motors is recalling nearly 780,000 compact cars in North America because the engines can shut down unexpectedly and cause crashes. The company says six people have been killed in crashes related to the problem.
The recall affects Chevrolet Cobalts and Pontiac G5s from the 2005 through 2007 model years.
U.S. safety regulators say the weight of the key ring and rough roads can move the ignition switch out of the run position, cutting the engine and electricity. If that happens, air bags may not work.
GM says there have been 22 crashes from the problem. All were off the road and happened at high speeds. Dealers will replace the ignition switch for free. GM says owners should remove nonessential items from key rings until the problem is fixed.
More than 3M Graco child safety seats recalled
A company that makes car safety seats is recalling nearly 3.8 million of them because children can get trapped by buckles that may not unlatch. But the action by Graco doesn't satisfy federal regulators, who say the recall should include another 1.8 million rear-facing car seats designed for infants.
The recall covers 11 models made from 2009 through 2013 by Graco Children's Products of Atlanta.
According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, it's the fourth-largest child seat recall in U.S. history.
But the agency has criticized Graco, saying that the recall excludes seven infant car seat models with the same buckles. It says the company and the government have received complaints about stuck buckles on those seats — and that parents have sometimes had to cut harness straps to remove their child.
Graco says its tests found that food or beverages can make the harness buckles sticky and harder to use. A spokeswoman says the rear-facing infant seats aren't being recalled because infants don't get food or drinks on their seats. She says the company will send replacement buckles to owners of infant seats on request.
California plant shuts down after beef recall
A California slaughterhouse has voluntary halted operations after recalling more than 8.7 million pounds of beef products.
The recall began Jan. 13 and was expanded Saturday to include just over a year's worth of meat products processed by Rancho Feeding Corp. in Petaluma.
The U.S. Department of Agriculture said the facility processed diseased and unhealthy animals without a full federal inspection.
The recalled products were processed from Jan. 1, 2013, through Jan. 7, 2014, and shipped to distribution centers and retail stores in California, Florida, Illinois and Texas. They include beef carcasses, oxtail, liver, cheeks, tripe, tongue and veal bones.

My old pack from Cableas that is a full frame seems to handle load much better with the same wieght on your hips but has no scabbord. Any other users have this problem and any suggestions if the badlands is better. It sure looks like the badlands has better support and comfort. I have heard that the zippers are poor on the badlands. I really like the scabbard on the j107. thanks

WILMINGTON, Del. -- A suspected shooter at the New Castle County Courthouse killed his wife and another woman, and wounded two other people before he was shot and killed Monday morning.
The shooting happened inside the courthouse, located on 500 N. King Street at around 8:25 a.m. WCAU said at least six nearby schools had been placed on lockdown.
According to Wilmington Mayor Dennis Williams, the shooter and his wife were estranged. Authorities said the shooter was in late 20s or early 30s.
Capitol police officers shot and killed the gunman, according to State Police spokesman Sgt. Paul Shavick, who spoke to DelawareOnline.com.
Ferris Wharton, a public defender and former chief deputy attorney general, said an employee of his office reported that he saw a woman who appeared to be dead in the lobby. The employee also saw bullet holes in the window by the revolving door of the courthouse that is adjacent to the parking garage. Shell casings littered the ground, according to Wharton.
"I don't know what to say,'' said Wharton, who has worked in the Wilmington courthouses for three decades. "I've never heard of anything like this happening in Delaware. It's a wild situation.''
The two wounded people were transported to Christiana Hospital. Their exact conditions are unavailable. One of the wounded is a security official at the courthouse.
"When I first heard about this, my first thought was that the only way someone could have gotten in there was to avoid the metal detectors, which is very hard to do, or go in firing," defense attorney Brian Chapman told NBC station WCAU.
Chapman says on a daily basis there are eight to 10 Capitol Police officers on security detail inside the front of the courthouse.
"There are at least four or five rows of metal detectors when you go in, you put your belongings through, then you have to walk through the metal detectors. Then there are usually eight to 10 police with wands checking everyone and after that you still have to walk by a desk where capitol police sit," Chapman said.

Journal warned of San Onofre issue
Unheeded articles predicted vibrations that ended up shutting plant
As a design team drew up plans for replacement steam generators at the San Onofre Nuclear Generating Station in 2005 and 2006, leading researchers were warning of a new threat to the safety of internal tubes coursing with radioactive water.
The findings, published in an obscure-yet-authoritative trade journal on pressure vessel technology, have proved prophetic more than seven years later, as engineers strive to understand what caused the failure at the twin-reactor plant in northern San Diego County.
San Onofre has been shut down for 14 months, with the cost for repairs and lost electricity approaching $600 million.
Determinations about the cause could affect warranty liabilities, insurance claims and who ultimately shoulders the expenses — customers or stockholders. San Diego Gas & Electric Co. owns 20 percent of the plant, and its customers typically shoulder that share of San Onofre costs.
Two research articles, published in 2005 and 2006, described a potential blind spot in the prevailing design of generators. Reactors at the time commonly accounted for — and protected against — side-to-side vibrations of the tubes.
The articles warned that, in laboratory simulations, a new kind of front-to-back vibration was detected that might lead to rapid wear on tubing, and protections from side-to-side vibrations might be of little use.
The findings ran contrary to industrywide safety practices that had proved effective for decades on more than a hundred steam generators manufactured by Mitsubishi Heavy Industries at its shipyard in Kobe, Japan — effective until a leak developed at San Onofre last year among oscillating generator tubes.
Mitsubishi says it and plant operator Southern California Edison did not take the articles into consideration in their design work, only realizing the significance in the aftermath of the January 2012 radiation leak and shutdown at San Onofre.
The research papers were vetted for publication by the American Society of Mechanical Engineers, which maintains the U.S. building code for nuclear steam generators. A nuclear safety activist, told about the scientific articles by U-T Watchdog, was incredulous.
"What's the purpose of doing the research if not to come up with information so that it doesn't happen in the field?" said Daniel Hirsch, a lecturer on nuclear policy at the University of California Santa Cruz. "Do you want to go to a doctor who doesn't read the journals and says, 'I wait until someone keels over?'"
Mitsubishi acknowledges that it erred in assuming the front-to-back or "in-plane" vibrations would be taken care of by calculations for the more typical tube wear.
"There was never an inkling of in-plane vibration being a problem," said Frank Gillespie, a senior vice president at Mitsubishi Nuclear Energy Systems, the Virginia-based U.S. vendor of nuclear parts and plants for the Japanese conglomerate. "And clearly that is what we (later) found to be the main issue. If we had designed for in-plane, then other things might have happened. It flat out was not — in-plane was not considered."
He said he was unsure if the company's researchers read the trade articles.
"This came to everyone's attention as part of the Edison effort after the leak," he said.
Team effort
In mid-2005, Mitsubishi and Edison formed a joint design team to minimize the potential for excessive tube vibrations.
From Japan and Southern California, team members held video conferences every two weeks, according an internal probe by Mitsubishi made public in March at the insistence of U.S. lawmakers.
Every two months, the team met to sort out technical and design issues. Outside experts were called as engineers grappled with the unusually large scale of the San Onofre generators.
Their work continued through end of 2006, focusing on the "U-bend region" of the steam generators, where nearly 10,000 tubes make an arching, 180-degree turn.

The United States added 292,000 jobs in December, rounding out a year of steady growth; the jobless rate remained at 5 percent. "The remarkable thing is how consistent employment growth has been over the past three or four years," Mark Zandi, chief economist at Moody's Analytics, told The New York Times. "We're getting at least 200,000 jobs per month on a consistent basis. That's quite an achievement." Many of the gains were in temporary-help services, health care, transportation, and construction, Bloomberg reports.
Payrolls also grew in December, making 2015 the second-best year for employees since 1999 and supporting the Federal Reserve's decision to raise interest rates. Jeva Lange
Former New Mexico Gov. Gary Johnson won the Libertarian Party's presidential nomination Sunday. He secured the win on the second ballot of the Orlando, Florida, convention with 55.8 percent of the vote.
Johnson, also the Libertarian Party's pick in 2012, has been polling in the double digits against both Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump. To qualify for televised debates, he'll need to hit 15 percent. Julie Kliegman
The family of a Pakistani taxi driver, Mohammad Azam, who was killed in May by an American drone strike, has demanded a criminal inquiry into the U.S. government. Following an investigative report filed by Azam's brother, Mohammad Qasim, local police are obliged to investigate the death.
Azam "was the sole breadwinner of our large joint family, [so] this was an attack on our family that hardly earns enough for two meals a day," Qasim said, noting that before he was killed Azam supported six family members, including a disabled brother. "Who will feed them now?" he asked, demanding compensation to maintain his relatives' livelihood.
There is some precedent for his effort: The families of some past drone strike victims who have been deemed innocent after the fact have received secret condolence payments from Washington.
The drone strike's target, the leader of the Afghan Taliban, happened to be Azam's taxi fare when the bombs hit. Bonnie Kristian
Bo and Sunny Obama are apparently just as busy as the rest of the first family. First Lady Michelle Obama told The Associated Press on Sunday that she's in charge of managing their schedule of appearances each month.
But don't worry, when the Portuguese water dogs, ages 7 and 3, aren't greeting tourists, they have some time to unwind.
"They can sit on my lap, they sit on my chair, they cuddle with me," Obama said. "I like to lay on the floor with them and blow in their face. I like to make them run and chase each other. But they're so cute, I just love to just cuddle them and massage them."
The dogs also get up to their share of mischief around the house.
"You know what [Sunny] does sometimes?" Obama said. "She leaves the kitchen and she'll sneak and she'll go poop on the other end of the White House." Julie Kliegman
The Amish are a unique Christian community known for their radical forgiveness, pacifism, and eschewal of worldly goods. Donald Trump believes he needs no forgiveness from God, advocates bombing women and children, and lives in a penthouse that is entirely covered in gold.
But Trump allies with ties to Ben Carson and Newt Gingrich think it's a political match made in heaven. In fact, they've formed an Amish PAC in an attempt to persuade the 70,000 Amish people in Pennsylvania and Ohio, both swing states, to turn out for Trump this November.
The project faces an uphill battle. Though a few Amish voters do show up at the polls each election, most do not vote for theological reasons. Of course, the Amish have been spared Trump's Twitter feed thanks to their rejection of computer technology — but it is difficult to fathom that a religious group that considers buttons too ostentatious will be persuaded to back the king of ostentation.

A 4-year-old boy sustained serious injuries after crawling into a gorilla enclosure at the Cincinnati Zoo on Saturday, ABC News reports. A 17-year-old, 400-pound male gorilla named Harambe picked up the boy and dragged him around after he fell at least 10 feet into a moat.
A zoo employee fatally shot the gorilla so firefighters could enter the enclosure and rescue the child, whose name has not been released. The boy was hospitalized with injuries that are reportedly not life-threatening.

"The zoo security team's quick response saved the child's life. We are all devastated that this tragic accident resulted in the death of a critically endangered gorilla," the zoo director said in a statement. "This is a huge loss for the zoo family and the gorilla population worldwide. Julie Kliegman
Marco Rubio apologized to Donald Trump for making fun of his hand size, the former Republican candidate said in an interview with CNN's Jake Tapper that aired Sunday.
"I actually told Donald — one of the debates, I forget which one — I apologized to him for that," Rubio explained on State of the Union. "I said, 'You know, I'm sorry that I said that. It's not who I am and I shouldn't have done it.' I didn't say it in front of the cameras. I didn't want any political benefit." Rubio recently indirectly indicated he will support Trump this November.
The Trump-Rubio tiff dates to February, when the Florida senator hit back at Trump after the presumed GOP nominee began calling him "Little Rubio." "You know what they say about guys with small hands," he quipped, adding after a pause, "You can't trust 'em!" Trump has been sensitive to suggestions that his hands are small since a 1988 magazine article called him a "short-fingered vulgarian." Bonnie Kristian
Top Donald Trump adviser Paul Manafort is gently walking back his Wednesday assertion that the presumptive Republican nominee wouldn't choose a male person of color or a woman as a running mate because that would be "pandering."
In an interview with ABC's This Week on Sunday, Manafort clarified that candidates from those groups wouldn't be omitted from Trump's list of potential running mates; rather, they just won't earn spots on the list solely because of their race or gender.
"If a female is qualified, that's a totally different story," he said. "And there are many Republican women who are qualified, and several who might be on the list."
Manafort also confirmed that Trump is seeking a vice president with Washington, D.C., experience. Julie Kliegman

Former Cosby Kid Malcolm-Jamaal Warner Stars in 'Guess Who's Coming to Dinner at D.C.'s Arena Stage
Actor Malcolm-Jamal Warner is starring in the family comedrama 'Guess Who's Coming to Dinner' currently playing at the Arena Stage.
The story, made famous in the film starting Sidney Poitier, Katherine Hepburn and Spencer Tracy 50 years ago, centers around a Black man and young White woman who met, fell in love and became engaged while they were out of the country. The setting is the girl's home and the action involves the betrothed's parents' reaction to their love and plans to wed.
The show is a delightful blend of comedic moments and thought-provoking insight into the way race plays into cross-racial relationships, in this case with a White couple who purport to be liberal and a Black husband and wife team who are loathe to see their child involved with a White girl.
The cast is top-shelf. Warner is the best combination of dashing and dignified in this Arena Stage debut. His love interest, Bethany Anne Lind is radiant.
The play runs through Jan. 5 at the Fichandler Stage. Tickets are still available. Visit Arenastage.org or call 202-554-9066 for general information or 202-488-3300 for ticket sales.

A nap to recover from an end-of-week and out-of-town meeting was all that stood in the way of having a nice dinner date with my husband on Friday night.
Or so I thought.
Around 6 p.m., however, I found myself awake and hearing one end of a conversation about a tornado warning.
My mother-in-law called to tell us about the impending storm, so I sleepily dragged my feet into the only real "interior" room in my house – the bathroom.
Thanks for taking a moment from your busy schedule to review the 2011 regular and special sessions with me. My freshman experiences were educational and exciting. While it would be easy to feel overwhelmed and discouraged, I see great opportunities to make positive changes for our district, state and nation.
I'm happy to discuss any specific issue with you personally. For now, let's focus on the two bills, from both sessions, that created a lot of discussion: the Medicaid budget shortfall and Kentucky's dropout age.
I am not an exemplary figure when it comes to good sleeping habits. In the past, and even sometimes now, I sleep whenever I can. I also tend to be a night owl and a morning zombie, so the idea of early to bed and early to rise is one I am working to embrace, but I definitely have progress to make in that area.
Many of you were surprised when you went to your mailboxes and found today's edition of the Spencer Magnet. And, don't worry – you will not be receiving a bill for this edition – because this one is on us!
It is important to us to do whatever we can to see that everyone has access to today's issue because it not only contains our regular A and B sections, but it also has a C section that focuses on health, and it includes our annual Easter section.
One morning last week, I went through a local drive-through for a much needed cup of coffee (heavily flavored, of course).
As it was a particularly sunny morning, I was wearing my sunglasses – probably the ones atop my head in the photo to the right. As I approached the window, I did as I normally do and positioned my sunglasses just as they are in this photo.
Most of the state is abuzz with chatter of the University of Kentucky Wildcats ending a 13-year Final Four drought.
Lots of national attention has been placed on Brandon Knight, Terrence Jones and Doron Lamb — the fabulous freshmen that Calipari teams are becoming known for.
Now, sportscasters are starting to pay attention to our veteran players, DeAndre Liggins, Darius Miller and, Jorts himself, Josh Harrelson.
But, if you ask me, some very important role players aren't getting the attention they deserve.
Countless hours have been spent working diligently on Phase II, to insure compliance with Federal and State guidelines. One of my character flaws is the lack of patience; I am constantly reminded that possessing patience is a virtue. Every setback encountered only unifies those involved, city and county officials, as well as, Main Street Committee members. The completion of the revitalization on Main Street is our collective goal.
When we use our normal English in conversation, we have a mental picture of the noun or pronoun we use for descriptive purposes.
For example, "to," "too" and "two" are all pronounced the same, but have totally different meanings.
Therefore, consider the word "waste." We can say the word identifies that which is left after we finish using an item (i.e., potato peelings, worn out brooms, tires, etc.).
When I was young, we had a small population in Spencer County. Even so, we had few wild animals other than rabbits and general varmints. We did have a cleaner landscape as one could drink from a small running branch without much danger of getting sick.
Monday afternoon, I walked into the open house at Seven Counties and heard what is becoming a very familiar question. Well, I sort of heard it.
I struck up a conversation with a very nice lady, and it went a little something like this:
"Shannon, I saw your article in last week's paper, and your last name is Brock, so I bet you know what question I'm going to ask," she said.
"Yes," I responded.
"Well, are you?"
"Nope, not to my knowledge."

http://mmajunkie.com British judoka "Judo" Jim Wallhead (20-5 MMA, 1-0 BFC) is the sixth and latest addition to Bellator Fighting Championships' upcoming season-four welterweight tournament.
Officials today announced the season-three non-tournament bout winner's inclusion.
Wallhead joins the tourney after he was forced to withdraw from a season-three slot due to the 2010 eruptions of Icelandic volcano Eyjafjallajökull.
Wallhead did make it to the U.S. for a non-tournament win over Ryan Thomas at Bellator 32.
Wallhead joins Dan Hornbuckle, Rick Hawn, Brent Weedman, Chris Lozano and Lyman Good in the tourney, which kicks off in March on MTV2. Former IFL champ and UFC/Strikeforce vet Jay Hieron also is expected to be part of the field.
"Wallhead was a fighter we wanted to be part of Bellator for some time, but because of the volcanic ash in Europe, his arrival in the Bellator cage got delayed for a few months," Bellator CEO Bjorn Rebney stated in today's official release. "After his fight with Ryan Thomas, it was clear he was worth the wait. I'm excited to see if he can carry the momentum from that victory into the Bellator season four welterweight tournament."
Fighting professionally since 2005, Wallhead carries an eight-fight win streak into the matchup. Nevertheless, the 26-year-old expects to be considered an underdog in the bracket.
"I guarantee people are looking past me heading into this tournament," Wallhead stated. "I'm prepared to surprise all doubters everywhere. I will 100 percent give every guy in this tournament a war, so bring it!"
Bellator, which aired past seasons on ESPN Deportes and then FOX Sports Net, also is expected to host season-four tournaments in the featherweight, lightweight and light heavyweight divisions.

It turns out your mum was wrong after all: you can judge a book by its cover. This book has a colourful, detailed, and tantalising cover adorned with portraits of people you may or may not know. Who are they, and what do they have to do with numbers at work, and the culture in which we live?
How do you do it? Horizontally from side to side, or perhaps criss-cross, producing a series of Xs running up your feet? Towards the end of The shoelace book, its author Burkard Polster raises a troubling question. Despite all the here-today, gone-tomorrow vagaries of fashion, and in spite of the huge variety of shoe styles available to us in this golden age of footwear, why does almost everyone lace their shoes in one of these two ways?
"Marvellous, surprising, crystal-clear, amazing, stimulating, delightful, fascinating" — this is how our reviewer described Nonplussed!, a book published last year by by the same author.
In their new book John Bryant and Chris Sangwin explore the complex problems and challenges facing engineers and mathematicians now and through the ages.
This recently released DVD contains three films on fractal geometry, all directed and produced for a general audience by Nigel Lesmoir-Gordon.
This review looks at two books on one of the most important, and most difficult, open problems in mathematics: the Riemann hypothesis.

Ok, not to waste any more space on the guild, I'm going to upload here some unfinished maps that I will make... I need a place to store them so why not use this site to share them too? I may want some tips and help on some of the maps and will try to finish them later.
I need some critique on this one and I want to try to finish it, so could someone suggest the climate/mountain placements for that map? I'm such a newbie with climates/tectonic plates/weather that I can't make a realistic looking world. >.< I do want to get better but because of my stupid school I did not learn geography (Boring teacher = No interest and the subjects were not about climates yadayada.) at all and can't find a place in the internet to study it. I'm currently writing up lore for a generic fantasy world setting, Pathfinder in mind because I will get those books later this month in mail and might use the map up there ^ for it. So help is appreciated! Any kind of help!

Dr. James E. West (May 16, 1876 – May 15, 1948) was a lawyer and an advocate of children's rights, who become the first professional Chief Scout Executive of the Boy Scouts of America, serving from 1911-1943. Upon his retirement from the BSA, West was given the title of Chief Scout. When the new BSA office opened in January 1911 West was at the helm and the movement began to grow at a rapid pace. Sixty local councils were organized in the first month of his tenure. One of his first tasks was the first edition of Boy Scout Handbook. West was instrumental in expanding the third part of the Scout Oath:
He also pushed to add three parts to the Scout Law: brave, clean, and reverent. In November 1911 the title was changed and he became the first Chief Scout Executive.

I'm considering a migration from iPlanet Messaging Server to Zimbra. One piece I need to evaluate for my supervisor is the use of standard IMAP clients like Outlook Express and Thunderbird. I've already posted a question on the Mozillazine Thunderbird forum regarding my problem. I firmly believe the problem lies with Thunderbird, but haven't recieved a response so I'm wondering if anyone here has had a similar experience? I really want to try Zimbra with Thunderbird, but it's not working for me in my multidomain configuration. Below is a copy of my post from the Mozillazine Thunderbird forum:
I'm a mail administrator for a medium sized organization. One of the rules that I put in place was that all users MUST use IMAP as their mail transport. For various reasons this is more desirable than POP. I took over the mail system when we migrated to iPlanet Messaging Server (now SunOne). On my desktop (Linux), I used to use Mozilla Mail and now use Firefox as my mail client. One of the first problems I ran into when we moved from Netscape Mail 3.0 to iPlanet Messaging Server was IMAP logins. Before I posted this, I did a bit of Googling and also searched the forums here, but have found no satisfactory solution for the problem, which I believe to be a design issue in Thunderbird. (Unless there is some obscure setting in user.js or prefs.js I'm not aware of) For clarity, I'll try to break this down within my example:
My e-mail address on a test server is: firstname.lastname@example.com
My username on the test server is: email@example.com
My IMAP/SMTP server host name is: zimbratest.myorganization.com
Since this server will host multiple mail domains, the username format MUST be firstname.lastname@example.com. There is no way around this and it is pretty standard practice with every mail server I've seen that handles multiple mail domains. So I fill in my account information using the above info. However when I attempt to log in, Thunderbird appends the server name to the username which prevents the login from working:
firstname.lastname@example.com@zim... nization.com
This results in a login failure since the mail server will never recognize the above as a proper login. Support folks at iPlanet gave me a workaround for this by changing an obscure setting to allow a '+' to be used in place of the '@' in the username. That would present:
This worked. But it occurs to me that this shouldn't be an issue at the server end. It is a CLIENT end issue. Thunderbird's behavior is correct for servers that only host one domain. If my account info were:
e-mail address: email@example.com
un: eno2001
server: domain.com
The result 'firstname.lastname@example.com' would be correct. I've been seeing this issue since 2000 and it still pops up to bite me from time to time. The workaround on the iPlanet server worked. I use CourierIMAP at home which also appears to just accept the the email@example.com@server.domain.com format. I am now starting to test with Zimbra to move away from SunOne and I've run into the same problem again. While it might be convenient to have Thunderbird formulate the login by appending the server name to the user name, it's not correc in every instance. Why not add a checkbox next to the UN field that says "Send UN exactly as entered (do not append server name)". This would allow users to configure whether or not the login gets sent in that way or not. The default could be that this box is unchecked since it doesn't always happen. Does anyone know if this is a setting in prefs.js or user.js? None of the Knowledgbase or Forum articles mention a way around this.
Note: I've already searched the Zimbra forums here for all thunderbird related questions and I haven't found any answers.

More About Drums
A drummer is a type of musician who plays drums, which can be in the form of a drum set, hand drum or other type of percussion instrument. Drums are one of the oldest musical instruments known to man and have been used for several other uses (such as sending messages or signaling the start of military battles) beyond just making music. Drummers create a percussive sound by striking drums with their hands, sticks or mallets. Most modern music performances have a drummer present from rock bands to marching bands to orchestras, with drumset being the most popular. Since one of their main duties is to keep the time of the music, the drummer's involvement in a musical piece is often integral to its success.
Recipient Gift Ideas
When looking for a gift idea for a recipient, there are several factors that you have to take into consideration. You will first need to answer some questions to complete your gift search. Do you want to buy a gift for his or her hobby? How about a gift for his or her occupation? Also, you should take into account the gift occasion for which you are buying. Once you have the answers to these questions, you can hone in on the best gifts for your recipient.
Occasion Gift Ideas
Gift giving occasions are all around us! You've got birthdays for all your friends and family, Christmas, weddings, mother's day, father's day and so on. However, the age old question is, "What on earth am I going to buy?" There are many things to consider when searching for a present but don't forget the occasion itself. For example, Valentine's day often dictates flowers or candy. For Christmas, you could always buy something with the Christmas theme. Perhaps a Christmas ornament or decoration for their home. You can now see how the occasion itself can help you decide on the perfect gift.
Occupation Gift Ideas
Get your favorite professional a very special gift to show your appreciation for all that they do for you. With an amazing selection of occupation gifts at Giftys.com, you can find a wonderful idea for anyone in almost any job field. Whether they're a doctor, lawyer or musician, if a special professional creates a lasting impact on your life through the example they set, you can demonstrate your fondness with a an occupation gift that will make them remember you for a lifetime.
Hobby Gift Ideas
Almost everyone has a hobby that he or she is passionate about so buying a present related to that interest makes a great gift idea. Many people love an activity so much that it can become a huge part of their lives (guitar? fishing? sports?) So, if you know someone who enjoys such an interest, you can give them a gift related to his or her hobby and the gift recipient will be glad that you bought them a gift that ties into an important aspect of his or her life.
Gift Ideas by Type
Buying a gift for someone can be challenging when he or she already has everything that you can bring to mind. So, why not choose something that fits the person's individual preference or personality like something funny, something for the office or perhaps something to do with music or computers if that in fact suits them. People love to receive gifts that fit their exact tastes rather than more generic gifts. By choosing a gift type, it makes the present special just for them and people love unique gifts that have a little thought behind them!

"If the LORD delights in a man's way, he makes his steps firm; though he stumble, he will not fall, for the LORD upholds him with his hand." (Psalm 37:23-24 NIV)
Naked in the streets. How long has it been since you've read those words? Let me guess. Sometime seven or eight years ago I bet, in the Cedar Key Beacon. Those words marked the heading of a long-running weekly column written by Van Proctor. The heading featured a picture of Van wearing a broad-rimmed straw hat, a hat few have ever seen, at least not in public. Van was a standard of sorts. He wrote whatever he wanted and he got away with it.
Last week I wrote about the Hawaiian Islands and made a boo-boo. I said the Island of Kawai was known for its popular places. I mentioned Honolulu, Waikiki Beach and a few others like Diamond Head. But, duh! Anyone knows those places are not on Kawai. What I meant to say was the Island of Oahu. Honolulu and the other places are on Oahu.
The funny thing is I have been to Hawaii. It was just drain bramage that made me do it. As a matter of fact I have been to Hawaii twice before, so I don't know how I made the boo-boo. Well, anyway, here's some accurate information:
Throughout my fishing career I have always tried to seek new challenges. Challenges are what bring us back to the water time after time to reach new goals or overcome extreme adversities.
I have pursued and won challenges like light line tarpon, huge sharks, bull redfish on 10-pound test, spear fishing, and guiding, all of which can test your skills and patience.
But none of these difficult challenges compares with the task I took on last week on the FFA trip out to Seahorse Key.
Some days back, I was off to the Refuge to note how things have changed over the past several weeks. It is not yet dawn. I take loop road. Fields and uplands come awake. Little birds are in an impromptu chorus led by tiny wrens with uplifted tail feathers and loud crisp songs, notes grouped in two, three, four, and more, "Cedar, Cedar, Cedar Key," "Veeger, veeger, veeger, veeger, veeger."
Remember how simple it used to be to go on a vacation or any other trip? All you had to do was throw some clothes and toilet articles into a suitcase, throw the suitcase into the car and off you go. Now we have so many other necessities to take along, it is such a major undertaking that you have to start packing days ahead of time.
When I was a child I was curious about the mysteries of our planet. I still am to this day.
Soon I will be going to the Hawaiian Islands and have been doing a little research in preparation. This will be especially helpful when I fly above, but low over them in a small airplane. I have reserved a Cessna like mine for when I arrive.
The beginnings of the Hawaiian island chain are intriguing. They started in one of the most remote places on earth from the movement of tectonic plates deep below the Pacific Ocean over 70 million years ago.
"Fathers, do not exasperate your children; instead, bring them up in the training and instruction of the Lord." (Ephesians 6:4 NIV)
"Mommy, please don't come at me with bad words - because they will get in me!" The tender young child who uttered these words of wisdom could just as easily have said the same thing to a Daddy. One local school teacher has the indescribable joy of working as a teacher of our young children in the community. One of the parents told how her child had shamed her when she was using some bad language to make a strong point about the child's misbehavior.

me an some work colleague have the same problem.
Wie Sync the calendar with iCal using CalDev. So the sync starts and I get every person who has a calendar in an arbitrary order (in Zimbra it is at least sorted by alphabet).
Well if you sort them in iCal, when it syncs again, the sorting is gone, thanks!
Then we keep receiving every alarm every person sets in zimbra, with 50+ people using it, very annoying. Well then I found out, you can disable it for every person (question: why is this not disabled as default?). So I did it 50 times, only to find out, that after a short while, everything was forgotten again... so basically there is no proper way to use the iCal integration right now.
I dont know if it is a iCal problem or Zimbra or both, but is there a workaround? at least for not getting every alarm people set in Zimbra.

Men at Work are an Australian rock band who hit the height of their success in the 1980s. The band was formed in 1978 by Colin Hay, who immigrated to Australia in 1967 from Scotland, and Ron Strykert. The duo added drummer Jerry Speiser and keyboard player Greg Sneddon. The four piece began playing gigs locally without a name and got their first break when they were asked to record some music for the musical stage show, "Riff Raff." Just as the band came up with a name and began to gather a local following, Sneddon left and was replaced by saxophonist/flautist/keyboardist Greg Ham, in addition to bassist John Rees, who completed the band. Men at Work were officially a band. By 1981 the b...

Gary Rohe's 1980 Ford Mustang - Gary Rohe: Cheatin' S.O.B.?Written by David Freiburger on February 1, 1999 Contributors: Scott Killeen
There are two types of racers: those who consider Gary Rohe a friend and those who think he's cheating. There may even be some gray area in between. Considering the guy's record, it's tough to believe that he's on the up-and-up.
Gary's been the NMCA EZ Street champion three years in a row. He won every race he entered in 1997, and he's won more NMCA races than anyone. The Harlem Globetrotters lose more often than this guy. Not only that, but his scrappy little '80 Mustang was the first EZ Street car in the 8s and the first to 150 mph. Heck, he even beat out big NMCA names like Outlaw Street racers Rod Saboury and Bruce Kimmen to take home the first-ever Car Craft All-Star trophy for an NMCA class racer.
So the guy's a huge hero, right? Not really. The NMCA still makes him pit in the south 40-not on the pavement with the Pro Street and Super Street egos. He doesn't sign many autographs or sell lots of T-shirts. Gary's pretty much a regular dude-a 24-year-old machine-shop grunt from Indiana who races a beater Mustang that was his very first car. He's lucky to work at Bischoff Engine Service (BES), which is also his engine builder, but his salary is about the same as a chump Car Craft staffer, so he ain't getting rich any time soon. If he doesn't win races then he doesn't get contingency money and he can't afford to race. So he guesses he'd better win.
We guessed that he was pretty likely to win at the big-momma street-car race: Memphis. The '98 event was a continuation of seven years of hype surrounding what has become the country's biggest street-car shootout. It's where Hot Rod started this whole thing and where Flowmaster names its Top 10 Fastest Street Cars in America. At Memphis you find the fastest cars, the biggest whiners, and the most media.
But behind all the Pro blah-blah ballyhoo is the backbone of little-guy racers like Gary Rohe. That's why we lived with Gary and his crew for three solid days to see what Memphis is really like from a participant's point of view.
More Photos From This Article View Slideshow
Memphis is the NMCA's only three-day race, with qualifying Friday and Saturday and eliminations Sunday. Like many racers, Gary worked all day Wednesday, then drove all night to get to the track Thursday morning. We caught up with him Friday morning just before tech inspection, where NMCA Tech Director Willie Benner OK'd the car. The Mustang weighed in at 3,010 with Gary on board-35 pounds heavier than required.The previous weekend Gary had tried one of the new lockup Powerglides, but it had a wiring glitch and caught fire. Hence, the car was put back into the same trim as when it ran the 8.92 record run at the Pennsylvania race. All that was needed before making a pass was to throw a charge into the battery, swap the rear tires side to side, and change the DynoMax mufflers to Flowmasters for contingency reasons.Word in the pits was that Bob D'Andrea was bringing a new EZ Street Mustang that would set the class on its ear. While crew guys Dave Rudisell and Danny Bischoff were wrenching, Gary tooled over to tech to have a look-see at D'Andrea's car. The super-clean Ford is powered by an Australian-headed Chevy and pushes every rule to the limit. Bob intends to win big next year, but claimed the car had never been down the track prior to Memphis. Gary seemed curious, but not concerned.As soon as Gary got back to the pits, buddy Billy Glidden rolled by in his new and unbeatable Super Street car. Glidden's vacuum pump had seized (not uncommon for the converted-smog-pump type) and Gary helped him pull off the belt. Next, Gary's new power generator for the trailer failed and took about 20 minutes to fix.Hours of boredom ensued, since qualifying wasn't until evening. There was lots of hanging out, way too much bench racing, and plenty of other racers dropping by to hear the latest lies. Eventually, Gary and the guys raided the Hot Rod trailer for loads of free T-shirts and hats, then heisted a golf cart for some pit racing.The car didn't seem hurt after the run, so the rest of Friday evening was filled by derbying racer Ernie Parison's new golf cart-much to the chagrin of NMCA Director Alan Scrimager.The guys hurt themselves with wine, women, and song on Friday night, so Saturday morning came at about noon. No problem-qualifying wasn't until the afternoon. There was lots more waiting while spectators and other racers came by to give the low-qualifier a good look.The first pass out of the trailer was a 9.04 at 148.95 mph, which turned out to be his quickest run of the very hot and muggy weekend. It also made him number-one qualifier, covering the rest of the field by a solid two tenths.
Staging behind everyone else, Gary made his final qualifier at night. The cool air didn't help, and the car did a 9.24 slip 'n' slide before backfiring in the lights. Sounded scary to us.Back at the trailer, NOS' Steve Johnson came by looking for some help with a customer's Ford, figuring Gary would know what to do. The guy hadn't locked out the advance curve in the MSD distributor, so Gary and Danny did it for him. The guy offered to pay, but Gary said, "Get outta here-I don't want your money. I may need a favor some day." Later he told us, "I try to help the BES customers, but if I'm not busy fixing something, there's no one I won't help."Finally the time came for another pass in the second round of qualifying-this time the car didn't hook as it went 9.17 at 148. It was no improvement, but apparently no worse for the wear.By the end of Saturday, Gary was still low qualifier with the 9.04, and seemed only mildly concerned about the top-end bang earlier in the evening. A leakdown test, with number-two qualifier Bill Joysey looking on, revealed one cylinder with 30-percent leakage. An ear on the carb confirmed a leaky intake valve. "That's what I get for running cheap stock valves." We asked if they were going to tear it down: "Wouldn't do any good-I don't have any spares."Turn-around time before the final round of Saturday qualifying was a little tight. Gary waited until all the other EZ Street cars were in the lane, and when no one was looking, put in a little bigger nitrous jet. He told us not to tell anyone, so keep it to yourself.Later we went to check out Super Street racer Bill May's 8-second '71 Road Runner that had smacked the wall at half-track after hanging a rod out of the block. Gary figured, "It's not as bad as it looks, but I hate to see guys tear up their stuff-I wouldn't wish a crash on my worst enemy." We asked Gary if he'd ever had a close encounter of the guardrail kind: "Nope, and I don't plan to. I don't need to be a hero-if it gets squirley, I'll lift."Gary didn't feel like doing much more than having a quick look at the plugs, but decided to swap to Flowmaster header mounted mufflers to see if they ran any better than the conventional Flowmasters.Sunday morning hit and the ladder sheet showed that Gary had a bye run in the first round. We expected a half-pass to save the engine, but he pushed a 9.30. "I figure the fans didn't pay to see me make a 14-second pass." Next round came the stout competition from Brian Waszak, but Gary put him out with a 9.21 to the red Chevelle's 9.89.
Even at the final round, we never saw Gary get a serious race face. "I figure I'm here to have fun, and I have to assume I can beat anyone in the lane next to me. If not, shame on me." Sure enough, he spanked Art with a 9.23 at 147.73 to the Nova's 9.83 at 140.23.Moments later, Brian's dad, Paul Waszak, was in Gary's pit with Tech Director Willie and things got hot, with Gary eventually having to pull Dave out of the fight. Willie put an end to it, declaring Gary's car legal. Our opinion? No one was right. The NMCA should have enforced the rule from the beginning of the year, Gary should have had his car totally legal whether it was enforced or not, and Waszak should have made a legal protest on Saturday (per the rule book) rather than waiting until he got beat by Gary. It's a bummer deal.Before he even got back to the pits, the crew heard rumors that Gary's exhaust system was getting protested by another racer. They hurriedly got to work changing the header mufflers back to the regular Flowmasters in case that was the problem. In fact, the issue was over Gary's lack of exhaust turn-downs required by the rule book.Now it was getting serious. The final came down to Gary versus Art Ayala in a '70 Nova that was built purely to beat Bob and Bill Joysey, who had protested Art at Memphis last year and had him thrown out. This year he did beat Joysey with a 9.72. But did the Nova have Mustang-beating power?Just because the fans go home doesn't mean the race is over. It took about two hours to get through tech, even though Art didn't ask for Gary's engine to be pumped (checked for legal displacement). Gary, Dave, and Dan filled out the contingency verification sheet for Race Director Bobby Cross, then waited out a big argument between Super Street racers Billy Glidden and Jimmy Keen. That was settled by dark, when Willie Benner gave Gary's car a clean tech sheet for the official win.Finally, it's time to load up and go home-which means drive all night and arrive just in time to go to work Monday morning. After the Memphis win, Gary wrapped up the NMCA season the next weekend with a race in Atlanta, where he blew up the trans and gave the win to Bob Joysey. Still, his season's performance was enough to make him NMCA EZ Street Champion for 1998. So...is he cheating? "I ain't doing nothin' that everybody else can't do. They can protest me any time they want. Is it my fault if I found a combination that works and beat it to death?" Guess not.The race moved on, and Gary trounced Ernie Parison in the semifinal, ignoring the fact that he'd mooched lunch off Ernie all weekend. Parison retaliated by modifying his official Gary Rohe T-shirt: "I've been beat by..."It was another brief wait for the winner's circle photo shoot for the NMCA's Heads-Up NEWS. Winnings from sponsors like Comp Cams, Mr. Gasket, and Flowmaster aren't really in the envelope-checks get mailed weeks later.

(Washington) - The United States Helsinki Commission will hold a hearing to examine the situation in Moldova, with a specific focus on developments in the Transdniestria region and the promised withdrawal of Russian military forces as well as armaments and ammunition from Moldova.
After years of delay and uncertainty, the Russian Government appears to be progressing with its agreement to remove its armed forces and military equipment from the nation of Moldova in accordance with the 1999 Istanbul Declaration of the Organization for Security and Cooperation (OSCE) and the 1990 Conventional Forces in Europe Treaty (CFE). Heavy weaponry is supposed to be removed or destroyed by the end of this year. Russian armed forces are to be withdrawn by the end of 2002. Implementation of the agreements is being partially assisted by a voluntary fund established under the auspices of the OSCE.
Russia's continued military presence in Moldova has been an unresolved and contentious issue since the breakup of the Soviet Union, when units of the Soviet 14th Army (now known as the Operative Group of Russian Forces) remained stationed in the Transdniestria region of Moldova.
Some elements of the 14th Army reportedly assisted the pro-Moscow leadership of Transdniestria to secede from Moldova in 1991-2 and establish an unrecognized political entity known as the Dniestr Moldovan Republic (DMR). The current leadership of the DMR has strenuously protested the recent destruction of tanks and armored combat vehicles, seeking to secure some of the hardware for itself.
The removal of Russian troops, armaments, and ammunition from Moldova has been a recurring issue at negotiations of the 55-member OSCE. The OSCE has repeatedly called for the withdrawal of Russian troops from Moldova. The OSCE Mission to Moldova was established in 1993 to "facilitate a lasting political settlement of the [Transdniestria] conflict," encourage and agree on foreign troop withdrawal, and provide advice and expertise on human rights issues. The OSCE Parliamentary Assembly has played an active role in calling for the withdrawal of Russian forces and seeking a political resolution of the conflict in the Transdniestria region.
The United States Helsinki Commission, an independent federal agency, by law monitors and encourages progress in implementing provisions of the Helsinki Accords. The Commission, created in 1976, is composed of nine Senators, nine Representatives and one official each from the Departments of State, Defense and Commerce. Additional information about the Commission is available on the Internet at http://www.csce.gov.

I totally agree with teddy bear on the description of biologists and wardens. They are at best cold and sarcastic with out of staters. I'm in New Mexico hunting right now and I'm running into a simular situation. You just have to do your homework and use your own know how to achieve sucess. I dont think he was saying anything bad about the sportsmen of wyoming rather blaming the high priced landowners that did nothing to earn the trophies that reside on their property but inherit it from parents and grandparents that busted their butt to earn it
I agree with MM about the biologist and wardens. I've hunted multiple western states over the last 15 years. Wyoming has the best field officers I've encoutered. I'm partial to Wyoming, it is where I cut my teeth western hunting. There is a bunch of good guys on this forum. Lots of knowledge, just be respectful & treat people like you would like to be treated! I apply for about 50 hunts over 8 states & draw 2 or 3 a year. If I'm going to spend the $ it's going to be worth it! I also run cattle & it is tough these days to make money on them with the price of deisel, fertilizer, feed, hay, ect.......... Good luck & if there is anything I can help out with just ask.
God Bless!

Hey Swampokie,
You going out with a smoke pole in the morning? Got mine ready to rock & roll!
"Only two people have died for You and I, The American Soldier died for Our Freedom & Jesus Christ Died for Our Souls!" I thank GOD for them! GOD BLESS AMERICA!
NRA Life Member
No smokepole this morn. 300 rum. Opening morn of my nm deer hunt! I will however be back in time to hunt the last weekend of pole season. Good luck to you this morn!
Deer numbers are down in parts of Wyoming. Look into some of the green chip areas that don't take lots of points, but have a good amount of public land or walk in areas. I've been through it also. Started in 95 in Hulett and felt the same way. Pay attention to the MRS section of eastmans, it's not perfect but it's a good starting point
Good luck to all! I will be done with this thread now. I have offered my advise and even pointed out a unit thats nearly 100% public land in the region you hunted but I expect I am 1 of those people that is going overboard reading into your thoughts.
I have a close friend who is a warden. I think he does a good job helping hunters. But I can see his point of getting burned out with people calling for information. He's always quick to point out, its part of job. However he says at times its non stop calls with guys who do no homework, know nothing about the areas except what they read on the net or saw in a magazine and then they expect him to send them to a trophy animal. I know I'd get pretty callous and fed up after listening to some of his stories...
Western big game hunters have spent years finding their hunting spots, and most are "fragile" meaning they can't handle much pressure before the game is pushed out. Don't expect to get on a western big game forum and have somebody tell you a specific area to hunt and have success. The game is spread out over a much larger area in western states than eastern, and it takes a lot more effort to have success. Hunting the west is a totally different game but it sounds like you have the motivation to make it happen. I'd say for most of us there was much struggle and frustration before there was success, and even after success there will be more struggles and frustration....but that's what makes it hunting. Good luck and hunt smart.

I'm a fairly new Zimbra administrator and have been slowly learning my way around this neat system.
I've recently moved up in the world and graduated to having my own desk- which means I can use my own equipment.
My mouse of choice (Don't hate me) is an old Logitech Trackman Marble mouse.
For anyone else who has used these, you'll quickly notice the lack of scroll wheel. Fortunately, browsers these days all support the middle mouse button scroll! Even right here on this forum, I can click the middle mouse button (Which is by my thumb in this case) and my cursor will become a scroll anchor.
Unfortunately, it seems this feature simply does not work in the Zimbra UI. I'm assuming it has something to do with the interface coding (ajax?) but I'm not sure.

I am a newcomer on the forum cause I' m starting to use Zimbra Desktop 7.2.1 GA.
First of all I created a new imap account and I can see and send my mails.
I read the differents FAQ and didn't find any answers at the questions I ask myself about ldap and attendees. So let me please to ask you a few questions.
1 ) Is it possible to have a read access to a ldap server so that we have auto completion when we write a new message ?
2 ) When we create a new appointement we would like to add some attendees but the input fields doesn't work. Is it a bug or do we need a specific Zimlet or other ?
Many thanks in advance.

Hello all!
My name is Dan, and this past year I did a research project on Middle Earth. Along with my paper, I decided to replicate a map of the world. That was probably the most fun project I've had in a very long time, and I enjoyed it very much. Afterwards, I was left craving more. I've always been a fan of Fantasy and roleplaying games, along with epic video games like Skyrim. I've attempted to create a world multiple times in the past, but I simply did not have the literary skill to do so. Now that I'm a little older, I'd like to begin again. My overall goal is to create a "realistic" world like Tolkien's, where things make sense and could happen. I've also been inspired by Game of Thrones to do this as well. Now, like I said before, I LOVE CARTOGRAPHY. It's something that has always interested me, but also something which I have never quite mastered. I've been looking at the tutorials, and most, if not all of them, do not have the "style" I'm looking for, if you will.
Here's a quick sketch of my current style:
Without deviating from that too much (sorry for terrible quality, don't have access to a scanner at the moment), I'd like to make it a whole lot better. The top-down view of things does not really represent what I like. I like the style of computer-made coastlines, but I still want the 45 degree angle view of the mountains and trees (and I have no idea how to do that). Kind of like this post that was on the front page: http://www.cartographersguild.com/ca...heredepic.html
Any tips? Pointers? Where should I go to get better at this stuff? Thanks guys, and I look forward to being here quite often

Hello everyone!
My name is Rondom and I found this site while looking for resources while creating a map for some friends who rpg. It's been such a help! I'm a graduate student in printmaking right now... I'm hoping to teach at the university level when I graduate. I'm really hoping to be able to adapt my style in printmaking into my friends' map, and I'm learning a ton from all the tutorials, especially since I don't usually create on the computer.

WASHINGTON (WUSA) -- Metropolitan Police are investigating what they're calling a homicide in SE, DC.
It happened at around 3:27 p.m. on the 2800 block of Alabama Avenue, police said.
When police arrived to the scene, they found a man with stab wounds on the ground.
They are looking for two black male suspects, wearing reflective vests, police said.

(WUSA) -- With March Madness right around the corner, the buzz about college basketball is about to reach a fever pitch. But flying under the radar is a local hoops team on its way to a different championship game.
The Montgomery College Lady Raptors are in practice mode for their upcoming work trip, to Rochester, Minnesota.
"It's all business," says shooting guard Jameelah Thalley. "We're going there for business. "It's not a fun trip. We can have fun after by celebrating, but right now it's business."
Unlike their NCAA Division I counterparts with a field of 64, Montgomery College is one of only eight schools headed to the NJCAA Division III big dance. They're going after their win over Middle Georgia Tech, grabbing the District G championship.
"It was great to know we were going again second year in a row and have a chance to make it past the first round," says Raptors point guard Jartu Toweh. "It would be nice to win everything."
These ladies play in the shadow of bigger basketball programs, most notably the 2006 National Champion University of Maryland. But the Lady Raptors are trying to make their own mark.
"It's pretty cool to be in class and someone says i just saw you on MC website pretty cool you're going to nationals," says Toweh. "So its a cool feeling."
"Nobody wants to hear about Montgomery College," says head coach Tarlouh Gasque. "Everybody wants to hear about the big four-year schools. It's kind of tough, but it doesn't stop me."
Apparently not. Gasque has more wins in Division III hoops than any other active coach. She'd like to add a few more wins, and has an upcoming business trip to get it done.
"Why are we going to minnesota? To win a championship," says Gasque. "We started saying that from beginning of the season. Why are we playing this game? We're going to minnesota. Why are we learning these lessons? Because we're going to Minnesota. That's been the goal. Now we're there, we've got to make something of it."

I notice that in the preferences section of the web client, a new 'Mobile Devices' sections shows up, listing my iPhone and stating 'needs provisioning'
I assume that once provisioned, remote wipe will be possible.
So I installed the iPhone Configuration Utility and made a mobileconfig that would configure the mail settings and deployed it to the phone.
The phone still shows as unprovisioned though. I see a "configuration profiles" and "provisioning profiles" in the apple utility, but cant workout how to convert the config profile I've made, into the needed provisioning profile.
Has anyone done this?
Or, given the new code in zimbra, how what method does zimbra want me to do to change the "needs provisioning" message to "Provisioned OK" ?
