By the Yard: American-Made
Outdoor Furniture & Accessories
Store Profile
- Location: Jordan, MN & online
- Specialty: Outdoor furniture made from plastic lumber
- Price range: ($$) Mid-Range
- Website: bytheyard.net
Store History
- Headquarters: Jordan, Minnesota
By the Yard Inc. is the premier manufacturer of maintenance-free outdoor patio furniture and accessories from recycled plastic milk jugs. They offer over 130 different designs in nine great earthtone colors to ensure a style and design that will be comfortable and functional for all your needs.
While visiting a friend in Minneapolis over the weekend, I came across an article in the Star Tribune about the resurgence of American made products. It was in this article that I learned about Jordan, Minnesota-based outdoor furniture manufacturer By the Yard.
There are two things that set By the Yard's furniture apart from the rest. Besides being a small, family business that still produces their product in the US, By the Yard's outdoor furniture and accessories are made out of recycled plastic lumber. Plastic lumber? What the heck? Lumber made from fake plastic trees? Not quite. The lumber that By the Yard uses is made from recycled plastic milk jugs.
The benefits of plastic lumber – besides saving trees and recycling used jugs – is that it is more durable than wood, especially when used outdoors. This means that By the Yard's furniture and accessories will not splinter, crack or peel and will never need to be painted or re-sealed.
By the Yard offers over 130 styles of furniture in 9 earth tone colors. They will also work with customers to create custom furniture in the off season.

Whilst trying to install the outlook connector I encountered numberous problems ranging from profile not being created, unable to load LSMSSP.DLL, Error(127), PST File Path Prepend to your PATH environment the directory containing the mspst32.dll installed with Outlook.
By searching through the forum I found numerous topics which suggests different solutions. I have pieced together other peoples suggestions which I found relevant.
Anyway shown below is a step by step breakdown of what I did to get it to install correctly for me.
Doing the above gave me a new profile for my Zimbra account and everything worked fine.
- Search for the following file on your system MSPST32.DLL
My search showed the file in the folder C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office12\1033\
- If your search doesn't find the file in folder C:\Program Files\Common Files\msmapi\1033\ copy the file that was found into this folder (create any folders you need to ensure the path is as stated).
- Add the 2 paths shown above, or returned by your search, to the Environment variables
- To do this go to Start Menu, Select Control Pane, Select System, Click the Advanced tab. At bottom of page click Environment Variables button. Window will show an area with various variables.

Scroll to the end and add a ; C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office12\1033; C:\Program Files\Common Files\msmapi
(Please note I have placed the paths above that were found in my search)
- Browse to the directory C:\Program Files\Common Files\System\MSMAPI\1033\ and ensure that the only file in the directory is a file called MSMAPI32.DLL (If you have any other files in there create a new directory and move them into the newly created directory for safe keeping)
- Install the outlook-connector (I used ZimbraOlkConnector-5.0.5_GA_2199_5.0.2580.5.msi) and follow the instructions.

BALTIMORE, Md. (WUSA)--- For women who have faced breast cancer, news the disease has come back or is spreading brings undescribable anxiety.
Judy Carter has been a survivor for almost twenty years. However, she says that not a day goes by when she doesn't think of the journey and what would happen if her cancer returned.
Judy explains, "As you get closer to your appointment with your doctor, you become very tense and it's very stressful."
It's something, Judy says, "you never stop think about".
Now, at the University of Maryland Medical Center, fresh insight into how cancer metastasizes to distant parts of the body.
Leading researcher Stuart Martin, PhD heads up the team that discovered something called a microtentacle, described as a mini-octopus.
Dr. Martin says the microtentacle hides in the center of the cell until the cell becomes powerful enough to break free and begins to move.
Dr. Martin explains,"Microtentacles turn out to be an extension of a tumor cell that occurs specifically when the cell is detached, like it would be when traveling through the blood streatm."
Scientists say those microtentacles can help cells reattach to the walls of small blood vessels and create new pockets of cancer.
The Maryland researchers hope to develop new drugs to slow the progress and power of that spread.
Ultimately Dr. Martin says this will require, "...trying to develop compounds that will reduce how well these tumor cells spread through the blood and give us the opportunity to destroy these cells as they're spreading."
That kind of discovery, Judy Carter says, would bring many people touched by breast cancer a lot of hope.
"It's a special union and everyone needs to fight together. Anything they can find like that is very hopeful."

By Richard Cowan
WASHINGTON (Reuters) – A deluge of Central American children pouring into the United States threatens to burst the seams of already overstuffed immigration courts, and President Barack Obama's steps to ease the crisis are likely to make matters worse rather than better for some, U.S. officials and immigration lawyers said.
"We are reaching a point of implosion, if we have not already reached it," said Judge Dana Leigh Marks of San Francisco, who has been deciding immigration cases since 1987 and is president of the National Association of Immigration Judges.
The problem, according to judges, lawyers and immigration groups, is the sheer number of cases clogging the courts, due in part to beefed-up law enforcement at the southwestern U.S. border with Mexico.
U.S. immigration courts have a backlog of 375,373 cases, almost 50,000 more than they faced two years ago, according to Justice Department figures.
Marks, one of the 243 judges presiding over 59 immigration courts in the United States, is setting hearing dates as far off as 2018. It now typically takes three to five years for cases to clear the system, judges and lawyers said.
On a recent Wednesday at a crowded immigration court in Arlington, Virginia, a judge was setting February 2017 asylum hearings for juveniles.
Some of the children who appear in court suffer from debilitating illnesses or are scarred from traumas experienced during the journey north, from rape and other injuries to hunger and forced labor by human smugglers.
"It's like conducting death-penalty cases in a traffic court," said Marks, referring to the high volume of cases and often weighty decisions judges face over whether to return children to crime-infested homelands.
The court overload is rising in part because of a flood of unaccompanied minors from Honduras, Guatemala and El Salvador. Fleeing poverty and violence, many risk the trip alone, often trying to reunite with families in the United States.
Unless the flow of migrants from Central America subsides, the U.S. government estimates about 90,000 children will arrive this year, growing to 150,000 next year.
Obama has asked Congress to fund the hiring of 75 more immigration judges and instructed the immigration courts to prioritize children's cases.
But his two-pronged plan is unlikely to transform a court system that some experts say has been saddled with increasingly complicated immigration laws from Congress since the late 1990s, spates of spiking border apprehensions and insufficient funding.
Budget pressures have contributed to the courts' struggles.
With Central American illegal migration accelerating in fiscal 2012, Congress allocated $302 million for the courts. The following year, funding actually fell to $289 million, although this year it has risen slightly to $312 million.
To fulfill Obama's request of 75 more judges, the Justice Department aims to lure 15 judges out of retirement and find another 60 permanent hires from the ranks of immigration lawyers.
But about 100 judges, more than one-third of the stable, are eligible to retire this year, Juan Osuna, director of the department's Executive Office for Immigration Review that administers the courts, told Congress. Even if only half leave, Osuna said it would hamper Obama's efforts to expand the court.
"As the stress gets worse, it becomes a far more difficult job and people are increasingly likely to retire at their earliest opportunity rather than well into retirement (age)," Marks said.
Immigration judges have been instructed to upend their regular case dockets to concentrate mainly on unaccompanied children and women with children who are in detention.
That could be bad news for the thousands of immigrants whose cases already have languished for years.
Matt Adams, legal director of the Northwest Immigrant Rights Project in Seattle, represents a client whose case illustrates both the cumbersome bureaucracy of the understaffed courts and the unintended consequences of Obama's "children first" directive.
In 2005, Adams' client fled Eritrea and legally entered the United States. The woman's immigration troubles began when she applied for U.S. citizenship, hoping to help bring her husband to the United States after years of separation.
U.S. immigration officials discovered a paperwork problem with her original entry and began deportation proceedings. On her scheduled court date, the judge was out sick and a new date was set for more than a year later.
Adams said if cases of unaccompanied minors were given priority, it would likely further delay his client's case.
Juvenile cases are heard on Monday mornings in Baltimore, Maryland and Wednesday afternoons in Arlington, Virginia. At those times, the immigration courthouses fill with bottle-fed babies, antsy toddlers and nervous teenagers.
Judge Lisa Dornell in Baltimore encourages families to bring blankets or teddy bears to help comfort young children during the proceedings. Around 30 cases can move through Dornell's courtroom during a Monday morning session.
Another judge told Reuters she uses humor to get kids' attention, like flying a paper airplane to amuse a 10-year-old during a particularly tense hearing.
Arlington's Judge John Bryant observed during one hearing that he sees illegal migrants "as young as 90 days old."
After appearing in Bryant's court, lawyer Cecil Harrigan told Reuters his teenaged client fled El Salvador after his brother was murdered by a gang. "A lot of these young people are running for their lives, and they're scared," he said.
Judge Bryant set a February 2017 asylum hearing for the boy. Until then, the teenager can attend school and have a job.
With no right to a government-appointed lawyer, some children show up for hearings aided only by a friend or relative and a court-appointed interpreter.
In those cases, Bryant gives them a list of non-governmental agencies offering free or low-cost legal services.
"Find a lawyer," he advises.
Even with the contact list, obtaining a lawyer can be difficult and it can take up to a year to get representation, according to Simon Sandoval-Moshenburg of the Legal Aid Justice Center in Falls Church, Virginia.
A new study by Syracuse University's Transactional Records Access Clearinghouse shows that in cases where children had lawyers, about half were not deported.
In cases where juveniles were unrepresented, records show only one out of 10 were allowed to stay in the United States.
On a summer afternoon in the Arlington court, at least one case was removed from the huge backlog. The government, using "prosecutorial discretion" aimed at focusing efforts on higher-priority cases, dismissed its case against a Peruvian teenager who entered illegally in 2010 to join his parents.
"I wish you an absolutely wonderful life," Bryant told the teen.
Texas Governor Rick Perry said on Monday he planned to send 1,000 Texas National Guard troops to the Mexican border to boost security during an influx of illegal immigration by children, a move that could increase pressure on President Barack Obama.
Perry, seen as a possible Republican candidate in the 2016 presidential race, said the guard troops were needed because the flood of children crossing from Mexico had pushed federal border protection to its limits.
"The price of inaction is too high for Texas to pay," Perry told a news conference.
The governor's announcement came just days before Obama plans to meet with the leaders of Honduras, Guatemala and El Salvador on Friday to discuss cooperation dealing with the flow of child migrants from Central America.
Perry said the National Guard would help the state's surveillance and deploy some of its assets, such as aircraft, to monitor the border. He give no indication the Texas National Guard would work directly with U.S. Border Patrol.
During the nine months ending June 30, more than 57,000 children were detained at the U.S.-Mexico border, most of them from Central America, and double last year's count, according to U.S. government data.
Perry said federal resources had been diverted to take care of those children, creating a vacuum for criminal cartels to step up operations.
Perry previously called on Obama to send 1,000 National Guard troops to the Texas-Mexico border.
Before the news conference, White House spokesman Josh Earnest told reporters: "If this deployment does move forward, it is the kind of step that we would like to see be coordinated and integrated with the ongoing response there."
Tony Payan, director of the Mexico Center at Rice University's Baker Institute in Houston, said Perry's plan was more about politics than security because the state's guard troops would play supporting roles on the vast border and likely be deployed for a short period of time.
"The operational impact is limited. This forces one to think that this is a political move by Rick Perry," he said.
The White House and lawmakers have called the influx a humanitarian crisis, and the Obama administration has requested an additional $3.7 billion from Congress to address the situation.
Senior administration officials have said the number of unaccompanied minors crossing the border into the Rio Grande Valley in Texas has started to drop off.
The White House said in a statement on Monday that preliminary data showed the average number of daily apprehensions of unaccompanied children by the Customs and Border Patrol had dropped by about half from June to July.
In June, about 2,000 children were crossing the border on a weekly basis, one official told reporters on a conference call last week. By the second week in July, those numbers had dropped below 1,000 and were continuing in that direction, he said.
The officials have tied the drop to factors including U.S. information campaigns about the dangers of the journey for the children and clear policy statements that coming to the United States would not give the migrants a pathway to citizenship. Obama has come under fire from Republicans who say his immigration policies have encouraged the children to make the journey to the United States. They have so far balked at approving the money Obama has requested from Congress.

Jim Courier knows how to get people to watch older fogies chasing after fuzzy yellow balls hit by other older fogies - give 'em some Anna Kournikova.
The 4-time Grand Slammer is co-founder and promoter of the Outback Champions Series, where retired over 30 ballers can continue to stay competitive...oh, and continue to make a living off the sport.
So when Jim failed to secure two of his biggest draws, legends John McEnroe and Pete Sampras, for the Series stop in Charlotte his marketing mode kicked in (read: how can I still make a lot of cash outta this thing?) and he unleashed Hurricane Anna on the unsuspecting city:
...[Courier] tapped Anna Kournikova for a couple of mixed doubles exhibitions on Saturday. Bingo: both day and night sessions are sold out. Kournikova arrives early a.m. from her Miami home, hits the hotel for a cat nap, then strolls onto the still wet grounds at The Palisades, eyes glued to a Blackberry as a line of admirers waits at the entrance to center court.The Series' next stop is in Dallas featuring the debut of Boris Becker to the tour, but in case fans aren't interested in ballers who actually won a tournament of some kind in their Hall of Fame careers Jim secured Anna for a two-event deal.
Anna on the Champions Tour - how perfect. Seriously, the fact that she can sell anything blows my freakin' mind.
Hey Anna: I'm trying to sell my apartment. How do you feel about doing open houses???

Rhoads won't let us know, so lets hear who you think or predict will be starting this weekend!
I'll say he starts with Barnett.
(Just go with it)
Hoping Richardson, but would bet on Barnett.
Man suffers only because he takes seriously what the gods made for fun.
― Alan Wilson Watts
JB on a very short leash
Self proclaimed 2012 CF Newcomer of the Year
This question seems much better suited for a poll on here.
I still think Steele Jantz gets one last crack at it. And I don't think he'll make it out of the third quarter after yet another disastrous turnover or general ineffectiveness. Expect Barnett or Richardson to finish the game.
I say we just go with a full-fledged 2-QB system. Barnett: 2 series; Jantz: 2 series; etc. Then go with the hot hand.
JB...followed by Sam if things start to go south.
Carrying the banner for ISU.

Agree, coach Rhoads won't let him go more then a couple series if he's not getting 1st downs or completions.
I think it's almost 50/50 but I'd give the edge to Steele. But I'd bet money on Richardson being #2 if the starter isn't playing well.
"But lets see if the Cyclones can give everyone a nice big ****burger to eat. Opportunity awaits." -Brent Blum
"I am the one who knocks" -Walter White
Jantz or Richardson. I think Jantz gives us the best chance to keep up with Baylor.

I considered a poll, but I also wanted some discussion. I say JB gets the start, and if he trips up then SJ gets one last crack at it
I think that Barnett has earned the chance to start. If there is not productivity out of the first three or four drives, I think we might see Richardson.

I agree with this. Start with JB, if we fall behind switch to Steele. Give Steele a series or 2 earlier if the situation dictates.

A few have been asking about status when the dates bump, can't promise to make a post/thread every time in the future, but the current rebuild was for:
Bug 47686 - conversation navigational buttons missing in lite client
Bug 46538 - HTML appears in edit filter screen
Right now it's a matter of timing (also note historically we don't release on fri/sat/sun since less of us are around to assist). The thing to keep in mind every rebuild adds at roughly 2 days.
While we'll still push for 7th which we had targeted either (before those above bugs cropped up) that logic automatically makes it the 9th. We'll know more and firm up our guess at the end of the day. Yes I realize 31st was the old target; we strongly feel our triage/QA teams are doing a good job setting the quality bar high, even if it slips the date on ZCS 6.0.7 / ZD 2.0B3.
In the upcoming pm.zimbra.com re-design we'll try to include reasons as well as an rss feed etc. For now we'll try to note it in the small field next to patch/and include a reliability %, but the point it it's always supposed to be our 'best' guess; might add (and thanks to a few of you for noticing) we've been updating it the last few months early/often/pretty close to when the decisions are made.
To answer another question: We do have both a branch freeze to control variability (where only a dedicated release engineering team can commit code) and an internal target that moves around based on your demands - ie: What customers are clamoring about x feature or bug controls how strict we are in triage decisions (cutting/adding).

American Motors Rambler Fender And Dent Repair - Learn How To Fix A DentWritten by Douglas Glad on May 16, 2007 Don't get kicked off the track for driving junk, pretty up the bracket car and learn how to fix a dent.
For those of you who are following the CC/Rambler build ('67 Rambler American with a Jeep 360 and stock Gremlin parts), it ran an uncorrected 12.75 at 112 mph at LACR in Palmdale, California. Call it a glory run if you will because we first broke the stock rearend then shattered the overrunning clutch in the transmission when the engine was at 6,400 rpm and the tires were at zero for a millionth of a second. Fortunately, we didn't oil down the track and the Rambler made it back to the trailer in high gear and safely back to the shop. So while the transmission got a repair and a tweak from Racetrans and axles and a Sure Grip arrived from Moser, we got to fixin' dents.
To recap, before we owned it, the Rambler had been cocooned in a garage in Southern California after someone's grandmother parked the right front fender into the garage wall and simply never returned to the scene of the crime. Car Craft spelunkers excavated the prize and noticed it had been hit lightly in the right rear and repaired as well. Other than those mishaps and a few small dents and scratches from bicycles and kids, the body was in pretty good shape. We wanted to go to the paintless dent repair guys to fix the front fender, but they told us not only was the paint already cracked and flaking off but also they don't really handle metal with such a huge crease. We'd need to repair this thing the old-fashioned way, by stripping paint and panel and beating until the dent went away. Watch us play with fire and hammers.
Paper and Grit
- 24-grit is used to sand away existing paint and filler; it eats everything.
- .40-grit on a body sander/grinder is used to rough-up the bare metal before applying filler.
- .40-grit on a DAQ orbital sander or a straight-line DA sander is used to rough-cut the filler.
- .80-grit on a flexible sanding block or board sander is used to sand out 40-grit scratches and add the body line.
- .150- to 320-grit is used to sand down the 80-grit scratches in the filler and add the final finish.

As a comparison, you can see the driver-side wheel lip and body line intact. The theory we are using says to start by repairing the body lines, increasing the strength of the natural body contours and weakening the strength of the dents, making them easier to pound out.We started with the wheelwell because it is the most rigid shape on the fender and therefore the strongest. The lower lip is supposed to be flat, perpendicular to the side of the car, but it was rolled under by contact with the tire during impact. We used a shrinking hammer with a slide hammer as a dolly to flatten the lip, adding strength to the original shape and taking strength from the peak above it.After the lower lip was fixed, the contour directly above it began to take its original shape without our even touching it. When the fender was first hit in the front, a peak was formed on the lower portion of the fender (A). This peak is directly connected to the peak above the wheel lip (B). As the lower peak was pounded flat with the pick hammer, the damage above the lip contour began to weaken and take its original shape. Cool, huh?This is where the gym membership or the couple of beers come in handy. Most of the pressure has been relieved from pounding out the two peaks, but simply grabbing the fender and pulling it finishes the job. Note how flat the original cracked area above the lip contour has become? Time to finish it off.Hammers
Here is a quick lesson concerning body hammers. The top hammer is called a shrinking hammer because its waffled face contacts less metal per swing, therefore causing the metal to be stretched less. The hammers with flat faces could also be called pick hammers. Both can be used with a dolly on the back side of the panel to pound an area flat, or in some cases, make it concave.There are two techniques for using the hammer and dolly. Shown here is off-dolly; it gives room for the metal to be pressed through to the dolly to get a bulge to lie down. You guessed it; hammer-on-dolly is used to flatten small ripples on an area of metal.Using hammer-on-dolly, we worked the peak above the lip contour. It didn't take much because we had already relieved the pressure in this area. Unfortunately, we also uncovered a pile of filler from a previous repair.The problem with the filler is that it was used to cover previous damage instead of fixing it correctly and prevented us from releasing the rest of the stress. We tried a bigger hammer. Nope, the filler in that area had to come off.
A couple of quick strikes and the tension was relieved and the lower dent began to come out. The dolly can also be used as a small hammer behind the dent to help it along with several small blows. It's important to do this in order. If you try to pound out the dent from the back then move to the top and work out the high spot, the dent below will bulge. Always start with the peak to push metal back into the dent area.We didn't want to try to work the metal any more than we had to. Look at sheetmetal like pizza dough; the more you work it, roll it out, and pound on it, the thinner and therefore wider it becomes. Thin metal where the dent used to be will pop in and out like an old oil can and end up making the dent huge.The last part of pulling the upper push-in dent was relieving the stress on the rear of the fender by pulling it with a slide hammer; the more we pulled, the less the dent was evident.There was no getting around the huge flakes of paint sloughing off the car and the fact that the filler was gluing the damage together, so we had to grind. Forget chemical strippers and sandpaper, a 24-grit grinding disc on a DA with the wheel locked out will blast through paint, filler, and even metal if you are not careful. It won't get clogged either.Under the filler, we found a little pool of waves caused by a previous repair that had been simply paved over. Ancient bodymen stretched the ripples into the oil-can consistency we were trying to avoid. So out came the torch!Using flame to straighten waves is called heat-shrinking. The idea is simple: Heat the metal without cutting a hole in it and spread the molecules as far apart as possible. Then beat the molecules back into their original shape and slap some cold water on it. Simple!Move the torch fast and in a circular motion around the waves in the metal then use the pick hammer and dolly-on to pound the metal flat while it still glows. Then cool it off with cold water. Repeat until the area is marble flat.With the dents relieved and the stretched metal heat-shrunk back to normal, we skim-coated some Evercoat Rage filler along the entire panel. It seems like a lot of filler, but it really isn't. One coat ensured an evenness we couldn't get by spot-filling each area. The tape is there because filler doesn't really stick to anything but bare metal. If it dries on paint, you won't know it until if falls off.
For large areas, we used a DA air file with 40-grit paper. The combination of the long board, DA action, and the 40 gets you right to the point of the detail work.For a clean body line, we used a sanding block to sand up and down toward the tape without actually touching it. When block-sanding, always use a crosshatch or figure-eight pattern so you do not create lines from the front edge of the sanding block. Low spots will be dark and high spots will thin to metal. Always use long strokes; they create a straighter panel.

Fine-tuning of fear
That's really good. With both legacy parties grabbing for control of the dial...
A Quick Hit is a short post "for further reading" that is not front-paged. Quick hits are listed in the sidebar.
If you are the author of this post, see the Edit tab ad Help (and Advanced Help) for detailed documentation.
The case of the Sept. 11 terrorist anniversary attack on Benghazi certainly demonstrates that the cautionary tale of the boy who cried wolf is as true as ever. Republicans have cried wolf so many times that no one will listen to them when they have an actual issue to talk about. And when they did whine about Benghazi, they couldn't resist exaggerating and injecting hyperbole to the point where the actual problems were completely lost. So it was easy for Secretary Clinton to gloss right over any actual accounting for the event or the aftermath. Senator McCain's comments were a serious but very softened list of the issues.
The elephant in the room was the politicization of the tragedy by the White House - the instant spread of a false story to avoid criticism. This fatuous and self-serving response deserved to be pilloried. The questioners on the House panel stated it as a problem in communication, inadequate information. But it's interesting that even the Romney campaign soft-pedaled it. No one would suggest deliberate disinformation (propaganda). Why not?
What this says to me is that if the government (and the political parties) were to have acknowledged this to be an anniversary terrorist attack, it really WOULD be frightening. This incident shows the amazing fine-tuning of fear in the populace. Be afraid - afraid enough to submit to intrusive searches, surveillance, and reduction in freedom of speech - but we can't have actual panic and demands for real security measures to be taken. Security theater is all we're going to get, even for the employees at the State Department.
That's really good. With both legacy parties grabbing for control of the dial...
1. VP Biden, during the luncheon speech (I think), saying the Obama wasn't a man ruled by fear...during a spectacle that demonstrated, above all, just how afraid we needed to be for his sake, through the tension of Whether He'd Get Out of the Limo, whether the security arrangements were thorough enough, and the stressing of Our Soldiers as being a constantly reinforced image of praise.
2. During the Commander In Chief's Ball, the Army and SK officers speaking from "Camp Casey, Korea" constantly said "Korea", not "South Korea" when referring to their post -- a deliberate provocation of North Korea which, considering the war never ended, was reckless and arrogant. One may despise the NK regime, but do we even call Taiwan "China" anymore? Nope.
A transcript, as well....

Winemakers Lobby Congress over Taxes
California winemakers and Washington lawmakers are facing off this week over a proposed hike in alcohol tax.
Congress hopes to fund the forthcoming health care reforms by increasing the so-called "sin taxes," including taxes from the sale of alcohol and cigarettes.
Proponents on both sides of the issue argue that increased taxes will lead to less alcohol consumption. The group of winemakers hope that they might be exempt.
"They are worried about being taxed in a major way as part of a health care bill," Democratic Sen. Barbara Boxer said Wednesday, adding "I don't think we ought to raise taxes on wine."
The current federal tax on wine is roughly 21 cents per bottle, a rate was set in 1991. Congress argues that a raise in that amount is overdue for inflation.
"The tax rate on alcohol is well below the level that would account for the damage that drinking does to society, in particular through drunk driving," MIT economist Jon Gruber said in a Senate Finance Committee testimony.
The wine contingency, which included executives from E&J Gallo Winery, Bronco Wine Co. and J. Lohr Winery, among others, told Congress that any increase would affect not only their own bottom lines, but the bottom line of the state of California.
It's an argument supported by the 250-member Congressional Wine Caucus, co-chaired by Rep. George Radanovich, R-Mariposa.
"It harms the industry," Radanovich said, "and it increases the price for the consumer."
The winemakers are also in Washington to resist cuts to a farming subsidy.

WASHINGTON (AP) - License plates in the nation's capital will soon say "District of Columbia" instead of "Washington, D.C."
Mayor Vincent Gray ordered the change on Friday, although the change won't be immediate for tags in general circulation.
The mayor's spokesman, Pedro Ribeiro, tells The Washington Post that the change follows legal and historical precedent. The District of Columbia is the legal name of the capital city. Ribeiro says the license plates said "District of Columbia" through much of the 20th Century before being changed in the 1960s.
The license plates also include the slogan "Taxation Without Representation" to reflect the fact that district residents have no voting representatives in Congress. President Barack Obama recently began using the "Taxation" plates on his official vehicles.

May 31, 2016
Governor Robert Bentley's administration has abandoned a budgeting process used by former Governor Bob Riley's administration that required government agencies to set goals and plan their spending to achieve those goals.
The budgeting process, which went by the acronym SMART, was run out of the state's Executive Planning Office. The last person to head that office, Jonathan Barganier, told the Anniston Star that data collected was useful, but it often wasn't used by legislators for budget decisions. He said the additional paperwork it required was a challenge.
The governor's press secretary, Jennifer Ardis, said agencies are still using core concepts of SMART budgeting, even though the Executive Planning Office is no longer staffed.
One of the creators of SMART budgeting, Jim Williams, called the change disappointing.

Very Good Purchase
September 22, 2013
I bought this fireplace over a year ago and waited to write this review until the fireplace had proven itself. I am very happy with this unit. I had it professionally installed to make sure the warranty was valid. If I did it again, I would have beefed up the insulation below and in the walls around the fireplace. During the first winter with the fireplace, I had some issues but each time, I called Majestic, their customer service was very prompt and helpful and resolved the issue. Every issue was just an operator issue. Now that I know the fireplace, it works flawlessly. Everyone who sees the fireplace is very impressed with both the look and the functionality. It heats our large living room really well also. In the winter, we must set the pilot to continuous for trouble free operation but we are in a really cold area and again, I under insulated the lower area. I couldn't be more satisfied with the purchase. Be very careful to inspect the unit when it arrives. My first was damaged in shipping and I refused it because I had my installer present when it arrived. The company told me how to handle it and a new one arrived promptly.
Pros:Looks great! Functions perfect. Customer service has been fantastic. Elegant in my Living Room.
Cons:Hard to find installer for an internet purchase in my area. Wish it were 6 feet long (just for my use).

Day of the Dead
A Meaningful Fall Celebration
For many people the end of October brings thoughts of Halloween. Here at Half Moon Bay, and throughout the larger Hispanic community, our thoughts turn to The Day of the Dead. This celebration is a traditional and joyous time when the spirits of the Departed return to share a meal and some memories with those who remain behind.
Day of the Dead Books
A good description of of this day can be found in The Skeleton at the Feast: The Day of the Dead in Mexico. There are a lot of good stories concerning the Day of the Dead, but my personal favorite is Beto and the Bone Dance by Gina Freschet.
Unique Half Moon Bay Library Exhibits
Here at the Half Moon Bay Library, members of the community erect ofrendas (alters) in honor of deceased loved ones. On Thursday October 27th, children of the local schools will be making class visits to see the ofrendas, hear some stories, and sample pan de muertos (Bread of the Dead).
If you'd like to bake your own, here's a good pan de muertos recipe. There will be another program for the entire community on the evening of October 28th at 7:00 pm. The image of the skeleton is omnipresent during Day of the Dead festivities and no artist caught this image better than Jose Posada. To see samples of this work check out this article about Jose Posada.
Whether it's this year, or next year, come join us in Half Moon Bay, for our annual Day of the Dead tradition.

Joe Toschik is a librarian at the Half Moon Bay Library.

Hey Guys,
Ishmayl here. Arcana, Nathan (from PlotStorming), and I have been working on all kinds of ways to get our three communities more involved with each other. You've seen our first Alliance Contest - the kinks are still being worked out, but we feel it's a good start. Well, the Campaign Builders' Guild publishes an (almost) monthly e-zine that focuses on the craft of building campaigns, and now that we have the Alliance of Creative Communities up and running, we would like to find some way to incorporate our friendly neighbors into the zine. We would like to be able to showcase anything in the zine that fits well with the concept of "building campaigns," and are more than willing to take suggestions and ideas from the people of Cartographers Guild. We would also like to make a request for some blank maps that could be used as stepping stones for people who read the guide. We're thinking it would be a good idea for both people reading, as well as for the Cartographers' Guild, if every issue of the Guide had one or two blank maps (regional, city, continental, whatever!) for people to make use of. By blank, I mean it has all the topography such as mountains, rivers, forests, it just doesn't have any labels. We would put a nice little blurb about the Cartographers Guild beneath any entries, as well as some information about the artist.
If anyone here is interested in this, please feel free to PM me or email me at fallen_ishmayl {at} yahoo {dot} com.
The Campaign Builders' Guild - Part of the Alliance of Creative Communities, the Campaign Builders' Guild is your home away from home while searching for tips, reviews, criticisms, helpful hints, and resources for building a wonderful campaign setting.

Tonight isn't only the biggest game in ISU WBB History, it's probably also the most difficult. We're playing arguably the hottest team in the country essentially on their home court.
But in the end, we have as good of chance as anybody and it only takes 40 minutes of great ball to pull the monster upset.

The Buzz
Need-to-know news
"The Buzz" Continued...
Supreme fizz
Sonia Sotomayor's road to becoming the nation's first Hispanic justice was relegated to the media's back pages under a sense that her confirmation was a fait accompli-once the Senate Judiciary Committee cleared her 13-6 on July 28. But Manuel Miranda, chairman of the Third Branch Conference, believes that floor debate over the likely next Supreme Court justice "should be nothing less than magnificent." With five Republicans pledging support, Senate fireworks are unlikely to change the outcome. But Curt Levey, executive director of the Committee for Justice, said Republicans deserve credit for putting principles above politics. Despite fears they might alienate Hispanic voters, Republicans asked tough questions about Sotomayor's commitment to the law. "The predictions that Republicans would roll over were proven wrong," Levey said. The fact that her answers seemed at odds with her previous statements left most Republicans confused: "I am not certain that Judge Sotomayor won't allow those personal beliefs and preferences to dictate the outcome of cases before her," worried Sen. Charles Grassley of Iowa. But Lindsey Graham, the one Republican senator on the committee who supported Sotomayor, spoke the words that may be the reason why this process has lost its heat: "She can be no worse than Souter from our point of view," he said, meaning that Republicans may be willing to replace one liberal justice (the retiring David Souter) with another-thus saving their gunpowder for another fight.
The last time presidential elections were held in Afghanistan, George Bush was running for reelection and U.S. forces had been on the ground there for barely three years. Afghans prepare to go to the polls Aug. 20 amid rising violence and a U.S.-led war against the Taliban about to enter its ninth year. The resurgent Taliban is already at work disrupting the election, which includes 40 candidates challenging incumbent President Hamid Karzai. Gunmen last week opened fire on a campaign manager for former Foreign Minister Abdullah Abdullah, who is the lead challenger to Karzai, and have vowed they will not allow polls to open in Taliban strongholds.
Another advance in stem-cell technology is reinforcing Dr. Mehmet Oz's statement to an Oprah audience: "The stem-cell debate is dead." Chinese scientists took mature skin cells from mice and reprogrammed them into an embryonic-like state, then injected those reprogrammed cells into mice embryos to create live mice offspring. This seems to prove that these reprogrammed cells have the versatility of embryonic stem cells: They can turn into any other cell in the body.
Change of script
President Obama, in his first remarks addressed to Chinese leaders, called on the government to respect freedom of speech and religion-an unexpected departure during the first meeting July 27-28 of the U.S.-China Strategic and Economic Dialogue: "That includes ethnic and religious minorities in China, as surely as it includes minorities within the United States," he said. Recent violence between the minority Uighur population and law enforcement in western China has brought the issue of religious freedom to the fore. Both Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi have soft--pedaled the issue of human-rights abuses in China on recent trips there.
Unambiguous toll
Five years after Congress declared in a resolution that genocide was unfolding in Sudan's western region of Darfur, lawmakers met on Capitol Hill to learn what a new administration would do about a problem still threatening millions of lives. But top Obama officials display marked differences over Sudan policy: UN Ambassador Susan Rice has spoken of ongoing genocide in Darfur, while Maj. Gen. Scott Gration, Obama's newly appointed U.S. envoy to Sudan, called the situation in Darfur "the remnants of genocide." Rice told a House committee last month that the government in northern Sudan must allow more aid to flow into Darfur, after Sudanese President Omar al-Bashir expelled a dozen aid groups after his indictment by the International Criminal Court in March. The UN says that action could cut off food aid to as many as 1 million people. Roger Winter warned Congress to remember South Sudan in addition to the western province of Darfur. The former U.S. special representative to Sudan said the government continues to violate the terms of a 2005 Comprehensive Peace Agreement with South Sudan, and to be complicit in massive casualties without being held accountable. "Surely 3 million deaths is unambiguously a Holocaustic number," Winter said in testimony before the same House panel July 29, referencing the deaths at the hands of government forces and government-backed militias in recent years.
Art of abuse
The sign next to a publicly funded art display in Glasgow, Scotland, is almost an invitation to abuse: "If you feel you have been excluded from the Bible, please write your way back into it." According to the London Times, people responded by scrawling obscenities on the Bible's pages: "This is all sexist pish, so disregard it all" and "I am Bi, Female & Proud. I want no god who is disappointed in this." The Gallery of Modern Art's "Made in God's Image" display "challenges the assumption that one cannot lead a fully spiritual life" while identifying as LGBT, and solicited the involvement of the religious community, including Al-Jannah, an LGBT Muslim group. But the artists chose the Bible for defacement instead of the Quran, at the suggestion of the Metropolitan Community Church, a denomination that actively promotes the LGBT lifestyle. One church minister, Jane Clark, told the Times the church never meant for people to abuse the Bible: "It was our intention to reclaim it as a sacred text."
Vicious cycle
Lance Armstrong's comeback bid to nab an eighth victory in the Tour de France fell short, as the cycling superstar finished third behind teammate Alberto Contador and runner-up Andy Schleck.
Though gracious in defeat, the seven-time champion appeared uncomfortable with his lowered place on the ceremonial podium. Adding to that discomfort, Contador and Armstrong share almost as much personal disdain for each other as they do mutual athletic respect. The pair will not continue their strained partnership as fellow members of team Astana. "We're totally incompatible," Contador said.
Armstrong, 37, insisted that he was satisfied with his third-place finish but intends to take another shot at his Spanish rival next year. Already the second-oldest rider ever to reach the podium, the aging star admits that the task ahead of him is daunting-and not just for lack of youth: "Alberto rides faster [up a mountain] than I ever did. Even at my best, I didn't ride that fast."
Pig parties
Bring cupcakes. Bring presents. Bring swine flu? Internet chatter on several health blogs and medical discussion websites indicates some concerned parents have begun toying with the idea of swine flu parties to inoculate their children from potential future strains of the virus that could prove more deadly. After much hype and fear-mongering, the current strain of the disease has proven rather mild with 302 confirmed deaths in America out of some 44,000 confirmed infections-though many analysts put the figure of unreported U.S. infections at about a million.
Future strains are not expected to be so mild. Federal health officials have expressed concern that H1N1 could infect up to 40 percent of Americans over the next two years, potentially resulting in hundreds of thousands of deaths if vaccination campaigns fail. The World Health Organization says the number of global cases could balloon to 2 billion.
Still, health officials say the idea of intentional exposure to the current strain is a bad idea. Richard Jarvis, chairman of the British Medical Association's public health committee, admitted that the virus is mild but warned that its effects are not desirable: "I would not want it myself." Richard Besser, acting head of the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, has likewise discouraged the idea given the medical community's limited knowledge of the disease.
Motherly love
Lisa Miller returns to court this month after her former lesbian partner, Janet Jenkins, filed another motion seeking a transfer of custody of Miller's 7-year-old daughter Isabella. The hearings, set for Aug. 21 in Vermont and Aug. 25 in Virginia, will also evaluate whether Miller will face sanctions for failing to send Isabella on court-mandated visits with Jenkins. The court dates come after a ruling by a Utah judge against a lesbian woman who sought parental rights over a 2-year-old boy born to her former partner. The June 30 decision upheld Jana Dickson's right as the boy's biological parent to refuse visitation to Gena Edvalson.
Dollar signs
It may have sounded significant when President Obama last week proposed ways to reduce government spending by $100 million. But with the federal budget deficit nearing $2 trillion, $100 million is less than meets the ear.
Jack Uldrich at jumpthecurve.net gives an example of the difference between 1 million, 1 billion, and 1 trillion in his futurist lectures. He asks readers and listeners to think about seconds going backwards . . .
• 1 million seconds ago = 12 days ago
• 1 billion seconds ago = 30 years ago
• 1 trillion seconds ago = 30,000 b.c.
Missing children
China's coercive population policies have created a population crisis that Shanghai is now scrambling to correct, but the same policies are still coercing the rest of the country into forced abortions and sterilizations.
China's population is graying-the Center for Strategic and International Studies has warned that by 2035, China will have two elderly people for every child-and family-planning officials are now worried about supporting this elderly population with a dwindling work force. In Shanghai, officials say they are now urging some couples to have two children.
But birth quotas and coercive policies still remain. Some urban couples have chosen not to have any children, and so Shanghai's fertility rate is lower than officials have planned. Allowing two children, said Steve Mosher, president of Population Research Institute, will merely fill birth quotas already in place: "The government knows quite well that for every couple that elects to have a second child, another will elect to have none. So it remains a de facto one-child policy."
In more rural populations, people often want more children because they have more room and more use for children. There, Mosher said, PRI investigations show that "the one-child policy is still being pursued with a vengeance."

Wrap cooled bread in foil or plastic wrap. Store in refrigerator up to 4 days before serving.
Celebrate fall with this delightful pumpkin bread that's rich in vitamin A from the canned pumpkin.
* Nutrition information is estimated based on the ingredients and cooking instructions as described in each recipe and is intended to be used for informational purposes only. Please note that nutrition details may vary based on methods of preparation, origin and freshness of ingredients used.
First, I baked it for an hour and 5 minutes and it baked out of my pan. It appeared to be done but was not. Also, it did not taste that great. I was expecting much more.
The pumpkin part is tasty, but the cream cheese tastes just like that - biting into a block of cream cheese. For a tastier filling, double the sugar to a 1/4 cup and add a tsp of vanilla. Will never make basic recipe as written again, but the doctored version is, in my opinion, much much better.
For my better half to say that it was the "best pumpkin anything" he's ever had is quite an endorsement.I made it in a stoneware 9x5 loaf pan so it cooked evenly, however... I would bake it for an additional 15 mins. It was a tad underdone in the center. Also, I used Splenda granular in place of the white sugar which worked great! Next time, I would add a little more spice like a touch of cinnamon or allspice and maybe some ginger. Lastly, next time I will put 2/3 batter down, then the cream cheese, and remaining 1/3 batter on top. Dividing it equally resulted in too much cream cheese layer near the bottom, not as pictured. As another reviewer suggested, the slices are great toasted. I have an Infrawave oven and used the toaster setting and also tried reheating at 350 for about 7 mins. It gets a bit of a crisp texture on the edges which is wonderful.

The Goodfoot will have an art opening last Thurs. Jan 31st from 5-11pm.* The show will be up until Feb 26th.* This months artists are Christopher Michael Creath, Christopher Kelleher, Matt Schlosky, Nathan Turner.
Christopher Michael Creath
Heavily influenced by surrealism, exaggeration, and with an affinity for texture, both organic
and synthetic. Christopher Michael Creaths paintings are often the result of a stream of
consciousness, and are rarely premeditated. A native Californian, Christopher has enjoyed
exploring some amazing locations, but has never felt more at home than he does living
here in Portland. Chris has worked as an animator, illustrator, painter, teacher, and has
shown in a few dozen galleries most notably The Hive Los Angeles CA,
The Occupy Wall Street Art Show NYC, and Rough Around The Edges Windsor CT.
"The interpretation of any visual representation is completely subjective, and claiming that I fully
understand my inspiration would be fallacy. Allowing ideas to develop without an overbearing
hand, produces the unexpected, and helps work out the unknown. If there is a larger purpose to
this self serving act of expression, it is to inspire thought, feeling, and create a dialog.....
Whether that feeling be hope, disillusionment, whimsy, despair, or glee; human experience is all
I can capture or recreate. Hopefully, in someway, this will help us to relate."
Christopher Kelleher
Christopher Kellehers art is based on movement, time and improvisation. When either painting
in his studio or at a live music performance, Chris explores a diverse array of mediums and styles while
striving to maintain an imaginative, honest and playful essence in his work. You can see Chris creating
paintings live to music in various venues throughout town or spy him painting in his studio window at
SE 45th and Hawthorne. His major influences include Chinese scroll paintings, extensive travel
throughout the United States, and above all else, music.
Matt Schlosky
Matt Schloskys art work reflects the world that dwells within the sub conscious. His work is inspired by myths,
ancient cultures, tribal art, nature, comic books, video games, Art Nuevo, Bauhaus, graffiti, life, love, stress and
setbacks. One of the greatest aspects of creative expression, is the ability show the world your unique perspective.
Thats what Matt spends his days doing.
Nathan Turner
Robot 85 was first developed in 2004, with a simple doodle in the side column of a notebook.
Nathan Turner, has transformed that doodle, into his passion. Over 250 robots later, with
expressions in several mediums such as painting, printmaking, and sculpture, the robots have
become an expression of our times and those of us within them. Predominantly a painter,
Nathan strives for constant evolution among his characters and narratives through a
combination of techniques in painting including both acrylic and spray paint for a crisp, clean,
and graphic product. Conceptually, the robots are representative figures depicting human
emotions through expressive gestures and carefully considered compositions, while channeling
the human experience in mechanical form. For those of us who want more from life than to
merely exist, there comes a point when living with your dreams on hold is not really living.
These works are an expression of dreams mixed with the opposition of reality and the
emotions which confront us all.

CHAPEL HILL --- Six Tar Heel pitchers combined for a five-hit shutout and Jacob Stallings singled home the game's only run in the eighth as No. 6 North Carolina beat No. 21 Southern California, 1-0, Saturday afternoon at Boshamer Stadium. Chris Munnelly pitched seven shutout innings and allowed just one hit in extending his scoreless streak to 14.
Munnelly and Ben Mount traded zeroes for seven innings with neither starter allowing a runner to advance beyond second base. With the game still scoreless in the eighth, Stallings made the defensive play of the day to preserve the tie.
USC's Omar Cotto Lozada opened the frame with a clean single off RC Orlan and advanced to second on a fielder's choice. The Trojan center fielder then took third on a Cody Penny wild pitch before Penny sent a second delivery to the backstop. The ball took a clean bounce back toward a scrambling Stallings, who fired a strike to Penny to cut down Cotto Lozada at the plate.
The Trojans (7-3) would string together two more singles before Shane Taylor (2-0) got Matt Foat to fly out on Taylor's only pitch of the day to end the threat.
After Mount (1-1) got two quick outs in the bottom of the eighth, Tommy Coyle drew a five-pitch walk that chased the USC senior from the game. Colin Moran greeted Bobby Wheatley with a solid single to right, setting up Stallings to be the hero for the second time in the inning.
With Wyatt Strahan on in place of Wheatley, Stallings lifted a 2-2 offering into right center to score Coyle with what would prove to be the game's only run.
Michael Morin pitched around a two-out single in the ninth for his second save of the year. Carolina will go for a sweep of the series Sunday at 1 p.m.

Drizzt Do'Urden has settled in the windswept towns of Icewind Dale. There, he encounters a young barbarian named Wulfgar, captured in a raid and made the ward of a grizzled dwarf name Bruenor. With Drizzt's help, Wulfgar will grow from a feral child to a man with the heart of a dwarf, the instincts of a savage, and the soul of a hero. But it will take even more than that to defeat the demonic power of Crenshininbon, the fabled Crystal Shard.

"great book"
I listened to the first 3 Drizzt books, And now I am glad to find this new series that carries on his adventures with other heroic characters. I ignored these books back when I used to actually read scifi/fantasy, now I wish I hadn't, excellent yarns. And by far, Bevine is the best narrator for the genre, not a fault can be found -- clear, good tone, his voice adds enthusiasm and excitement during exciting scenes, he does enough voice imitation for different characters to make it clear who is talking, but not corny either. And of course, the story was very good, else I wouldn't give it 5 stars. Highly recommended!
"Another Epic Drizzt Saga"
I would definitely listen to this book again. Maybe two or more times. Why? Because the nonstop action and adventure. The way that Salvatore captures the world is profound and detailed and makes me feel like I'm beside the characters.
My favorite character in this book was Brunner. He is witty and stubborn and plays a good prank on drizzt. I couldn't help but laugh and smile whenever he was in the chapter.
Victor Bevine is an awesome narrator. He makes each character feel distinguished and gives each the charm and/or personality as if he were actually that character.
This book definitely made me laugh at several parts, as well as bite my nails or even feel disdain at others. Defiantly kept me at the edge of my chair.
Actor/director/teacher. Split my time between Beijing and Seattle now. Listen to Audible on the subway and while driving or riding my bike.
"Flashback to old school fantasy"
There was a time when R.A.Salvatore was one of my favorite fantasy authors. I even had him autograph my copy of "Homeland," his introduction to the Drizzt character, which was riveting and original, set as it was in the Underdark where we were introduced to an entirely novel culture of shocking matriarchal cruelty and the Spider Queen goddess of the Drow elves.
Somehow I missed moving on to his second Drizzt trilogy, so I was looking forward to picking up the tale now after all these years. Unfortunately I found that the old school world of frost giants, dwarves, hobbits and barbarians suffers somewhat in comparison with the deluge of imagination and creativity to which we have been treated in the past thirty years. I wish I had read "Icewind Dale" when it first came out so that I could have enjoyed it without having to compare it to Sanderson and Abercrombie and Bujold and Lynch's Locke Lamora and, yes, R.R. Martin."
Still, I enjoyed traveling with the old companions again for a few hours. Though I find Victer Bevine's delivery to be a bit wide-eyed and labored, he does maintain the energy of the work and delineate the characters clearly. Though I will not follow the rest of the "Icewind" series, I'm glad I got reacquainted with Salvatore, and I may check out some of his more recent works to see how he has responded to the development of the fantasy genre.
"Great Intro to Drizzt"
Upper-middle tier.
Like most folks, I really connected with Drizzt. I think many of us have moments where we feel like singular bastions of decency in a world that needs fixing. He is unwaveringly loyal and has a strong moral compass - I can get behind a character like that!
I truly enjoyed Mr. Bevine's voice talents for the various characters, along with the ease applied to speaking unusual words and names that are frequent fare in the fantasy genre.
No, but that didn't make the story any less enjoyable.
I will be getting the balance of the Icewind Dale trilogy, so that says something :-)
I am brutally honest. Popular, love everything they read, reviewers are scared to go neg. and risk their ranking. It's your money!!!
"Had potential"
I read this book several years ago, just to see what all the fuss was about. At the time I thought it was a three star book. I got it on audible to see if listening to it gave me better perspective. It started out great as it introduced us to several compelling characters. Then about chapter seven it turns into a battle after battle book. The characters are never really developed and so seem fairly shallow. I plan to read some more Salvatore written later to see if he starts to develop his characters.
Would a Tyrant refer to himself as a Tyrant? You should be open minded and not judge Dark Elves, Humans, Halflings, or Dwarfs by their skin color or height, but it is okay to consider all Orcs, Giants, Frost Giants, Demons, Trolls, and goblins as bad.
The narrator uses the same voices for most monsters and that is not a very good one. He makes the Demon sound retarded.
I hope you get to read this before I am thrown to the back pages. Salvatore fans are very protective of their author and anyone who does not agree is angrily given an unhelpful vote. One reviewer has 0-14 for voicing his opinion, although I will agree he might have been a little harsh.
"The original appearance of the almighty Drizzt"
My favorite book to date.
Drizzt is my favorite character and has been for over 20 years. I was thrilled to see these books finally hit audio.
Victor was fair to me. I an use to mark thompson from the star wars and he is my favorite preformer.
The honor in the character of Drizzt.
This is my favorite all time book and the original apperence of Drizzt. I am glad to finally see this book come to audio.
I'm glad I found this author I really enjoyed this book and look forward to the others
"Good book, not as good as the first 3 though"
The Crystal Shard is enjoyable and the story of Wulfgar is probably the most exciting part of the book. However the constant peril of the first three books is not as present.
"Typical Salvatore"
not the best, not the worst. really a 3.5 for me. it's a earlier work, so not as fun as some of his later books.
"Throughly enjoyable story"
This was a fun and well voiced story. I enjoyed the fantasy world that was created with very enjoyable characters.

New York, NY (Sports Network) - LeBron James' incredible shooting run
continued last night and it put him in the NBA record books.
James scored 30 points on 11-of-15 from the floor, becoming the first player
NBA history to have six straight games scoring at least 30 points and shooting
60 percent from the field.
He hit 66 of his 92 shots during this stretch, which translates to an
incredible 72 percent from the field, and is averaging 30.8 points, 6.7
assists and 6.7 rebounds.
James is making a very strong case for a fourth MVP award and his recent play
is certainly bolstering that cause.
But as great a run as James is having, I still think it pales in comparison to
what we've seen from the likes of Michael Jordan and Wilt Chamberlain.
In an experimental move in 1989 by then Chicago Bulls coach Phil Jackson,
Jordan was moved from shooting guard to the point. He responded by putting up
10 triple-doubles in 11 games.
During that stretch, he averaged 33.6 points, 10.8 rebounds and 11.4 assists.
The one game in which he did fail to put a triple-double, Jordan had 40
points, 11 assists and 7 rebounds. Call it a off night I guess.
Jordan managed to put up over 33 points per game despite shooting just 17
three-point shots and hitting two over those 11 games. He didn't shoot the
nearly as well as James has during his hot stretch, but he did shoot a very
healthy 51 percent from the field.
Jordan, by the way, finished with 15 triple-doubles that season. As great as
James has been this season, he's recorded one so far.
Now on to Wilt Chamberlain, who had a career of putting up numbers that seem
In the 1961-62 season, when he averaged a record 50.4 points per game, the 7-
time NBA scoring champ had a stretch where he scored at least 50 points in 11
of 12 games, which included seven straight 50-point efforts. He averaged an
out-of-this world and mind-boggling 60.7 points during that stretch, which
included a 78-point, 43-rebound game to start the run.
The game's most dominant offensive player had another incredible stretch in
his career, but it wasn't just about the scoring.
In the 1967-68 season, Chamberlain had 9 straight triple-doubles, which still
stands as an NBA record. During that span he averaged 26.6 points, 23.6
rebounds and 12.7 assists. The streak was highlighted by a 53-point, 32-
rebound, 14-assist effort.
Also of note, at that time, blocked shots weren't an official stat, but there
are estimated totals that report Chamberlain had double digit blocked shots in
all of those games except one, which means he might have had 8 quadruple-
And, by the way, the 9-straight triple-doubles came over just a 12-day span.
Gregg Popovich wouldn't have had to worry about resting Chamberlain if he had
coached him, because that word wasn't part of Wilt's vocabulary.
Well, while James is playing out of this world, the Brooklyn Nets' star
player's season continues its bumpy road.
"He hasn't had the same explosiveness he had last year, so obviously there's
something that's been affecting him," King said.
Williams has not been the same player he was in Utah since joining the Nets
but King believes he'll get back to playing at that level.
"Am I confident he'll get back to being Deron Williams? Yes, 100 percent,"
King said.
At least for this season, that may very well be wishful thinking on the part
the Nets' GM. Prior to the start of the season, Williams revealed he had bone
spurs in his left ankle that would probably require offseason surgery.
You had to know at that point that Williams would probably not be operating at
100 percent this season, and that seems the likely reason his play has been so
He's clearly having his worst season as a full time starter, averaging career
lows in points (16.7), assists (7.6) and field goal percentage (41.3 percent).
It's a far cry from the numbers he put up in Utah as a full time starter,
the three-time All-Star averaged 18.7 points, 10.2 assists and shot 47.3
percent from the field.
If the Nets hope to be more than just a run-of-the mill team that perennially
makes the playoffs every year and then makes an early exit, they'll need
Williams to play like the elite point guard he was with the Jazz.

read the article as well BB, enjoyed it a lot, well done and the mount looks way cool.
Nice looking buck, the taxidermy is wonderful. Though to tell you the truth, I have never been a fan of velvet taxi-ed bucks.
read the article as well BB, enjoyed it a lot, well done and the mount looks way cool.
Thats why i asked...it looks really good for being artificial, although from seeing him after the tumble, i couldn't see how they could have repaired the original that nice. Great looking buck!
Great story. Great buck. BB any chance we see your Alaska moose adventure in an upcoming Eastmans magazine?
Nice Buck For A Lot Of Hard Work.
Nice buck and that mount looks great.
Awesome deer and an awesome photo! Congratulations.
Bitterroot, My brother and I are trying to plan a muley hunt to Montana and it is a little confusing on the G & F website. I was wondering if you had any ideas of what district would be a good one to go and get after a muley? I was thinking 314, 301 or that area, or else I was looking around 332 and even the areas around 413.
Those are all General Mule Deer areas, so no special permit required, get your NR tag, and you're hunting deer. The 3XX districts are primarily elk units. Those are not high deer density units, but you might find a good one in there! You will see plenty of elk hunters ... plenty.
From 413 east you are going to get into some good deer populations, but more deer hunters. Those 4xx breaks units see a lot of vehicle based hunting, but you would be surprised what you can find if you go for a walk... the country is bigger than it looks on GE for sure.
