Bridgeport gets past GW 3-2
CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- The SSAC classification manual might say Bridgeport is a Class AA school, but the Indians baseball team doesn't have to act like it.
Bridgeport, long a major player in Class AAA, dropped a division this school year, but has maintained a triple-A identity with its scheduling, and that was never more evident than Saturday when it came to Floyd B. Wilcox Field at George Washington High School.
The Indians received a run-scoring single from Greg Smith in the fourth inning to break a 2-all tie and made it stand up for a 3-2 victory over the host Patriots. Bridgeport (15-2) played Logan later in the day.
Taking on two more Class AAA schools is nothing new for Bridgeport, which scheduled a dozen of its 25 games against in-state AAA competition. Veteran coach Robert Shields hopes "playing up'' will pay off in the postseason, as his team finds itself challenged by the better competition.
"That's why we're still doing what we're doing,'' Shields said, "playing the triple-A schools. Plus, I have a good relationship with a lot of the guys in triple-A. That's not saying we don't play double-A schools. We played Poca this year.
"In our area, we've got double-As, but then after you get outside of that, they're mostly all triple-As. We need to play the competition to get us prepared, so whatever class that might be, we need to do it because we've got a lot of room for improvement.''
The Indians, who came to town as the No. 2 team in the Gazette's AA state rankings, looked fairly sharp against GW. They committed just one error and the pitching of starter Josh Boggio (four innings) and reliever Joseph LaRocca (three innings) held the Patriots to five hits - all singles - and induced seven pop-ups to the infield and five flies to the outfield.
"I thought our sophomore [LaRocca] did a good job in relief,'' Shields said. "Boggio struggled a little bit, but he did enough to get us through four innings and keep them at bay. We made the plays behind our pitchers and I'm just pleased to get the W.''
GW (12-9), which lost its third straight, tied the game at 2 in the bottom of the third when Austin Griffith singled with the bases loaded, driving in Garrett Vogelbach. It appeared as if Clayton Anderson would be thrown out at the plate on the play, but he kicked the ball out of the glove of catcher Troy Anderson on his slide and scored to knot it.
But that was about it for the Patriots' offense. Following that play, they managed just one hit and three baserunners over the final 42/3 innings. GW coach Chad Campbell lamented the lack of timely hitting.
"You've got to get hits with runners in scoring position,'' Campbell said. "That's the name of the game. We had seven pop-ups today for outs and I told our guys that's the easiest out in baseball - an easy little pop-up in the infield.
"Our 2-0 and 3-1 hitting was horrendous. Those are hitter's counts and we're swinging at those pitches and we're popping the ball straight up in the air. We tell the kids if it's 2-0, 3-1 and you're swinging, you ought to be able to crush it. You ought to be able to get base hits on those pitches, and we're not. We're taking the bat out of our own hands.''
On defense, the Patriots did a good job of thwarting most of Bridgeport's forays - again via the fly ball on what proved to be a sunny, windy day. GW outfielders caught 11 fly balls behind starter Tanner Sorrells and left-handed reliever John Thomas, who worked five innings after Sorrells developed a tired arm.
"A good job by our lefty on the mound,'' Campbell said. "That kept us in the game. We were right there but, really, we were never in position to get that run to tie the game. We never got a man to third base with one out or less. We were never in a squeeze situation or a bunt situation.
"It's just the same stuff we've got to get corrected, and we've got two weeks to do it. They've got to do what they're told to do and the runs will come.''
Clayton Anderson had two of GW's five hits. For Bridgeport, Troy Anderson went 3 for 4 with a double and an RBI and Logan Zirkle was 2 for 3 with a double.
The three-game event was billed as the Jody Clay Memorial Classic in honor of the mother of former GW player Derek May. Clay died of brain cancer in May of 2011.

|Kansas spends $17 million meant for water lawsuit
TOPEKA, Kan. (AP)-—Kansas lawmakers accidentally spent $17 million set aside to finance litigation aimed at forcing Colorado and Nebraska to abide by water compacts, state officials said last week.
The embarrassing miscue committed in 2007 set off alarm bells in the Senate Ways and Means Committee, with some senators insisting upon reform in the method of writing appropriations bills and others demanding better tracking of money earmarked for specific purposes.
"I would suggest we need to take a look at our accounting procedures,'' said Sen. Laura Kelly, D-Topeka.
Kansas' successful lawsuit against Colorado over violations of the Arkansas River Compact resulted in a U.S. Supreme Court decree requiring Colorado to reduce its groundwater pumping and to pay Kansas about $34 million in damages and interest.
The payment allowed establishment of a fund in Kansas to continue legal work on water issues with border states.
"So, we took Colorado's money and blew it?'' asked Sen. Janis Lee, D-Kensington.
Sen. Jay Emler, a Louisburg Republican and chairman of the Senate budget committee, said the original intent was to place the litigation funding in an account beyond the grasp of legislators.
A House-Senate conference committee inadvertently slid the whole $17 million into an appropriations bill at the end of the session.
"When we have a lockbox, we also have a key,'' Emler said.
The money was spent on general state government expenses. The Legislature voted and Gov. Kathleen Sebelius signed the bill cleaning out the water litigation fund.
The oversight wasn't revealed to legislators until the attorney general's office requested financing for legal work on water issues for 2010 and 2011.
Michael Leitch, deputy attorney general, said $680,000 was requested for this year and $1 million for next year.
Without the supplemental appropriations, he said, the attorney general's office could run out of money.
Sen. Mark Taddiken, R-Clifton, said replacing the money with general tax revenue would be difficult. The state's deficit in the current fiscal year is unknown but rising. The projected deficit in the upcoming fiscal year could exceed $400 million.

I just wanted to vote for everyone!

War. War never changes...
"After the Fall" looks and feels like a screenshot from the upcoming game
Choices, choices... "After the Fall" reminds me of the distant future in the game Chrono Trigger, where the only survivable areas are inside these massive domes. "The Fall of the City Warratrixta" reminds me of the Fable series, where you find the hometown of the first game's hero (Oakvale), several centuries later in the second game and it's all flooded and decayed.
Less than an hour to go and we have an even count at 9 each for Meshon & Francissmo.
And there it is, a TIE! Congratulations to Meshon & Francissimo! Well Done!! And thanks to RedKettle and Domino44 for jumping in and making the challenge more interesting.

OLYMPIA — On Christmas Eve, Kevin Johnson received these gifts: a bed and mattress, a blanket and sheets, a desk and chair, a toilet and sink, towels and washcloths, toothpaste and floss, and a new house.
Johnson, 48, a day laborer, did not find that last item beneath the Christmas tree, although it nearly would have fit. At 144 square feet — 8 by 18 feet, or roughly the dimensions of a Chevrolet Suburban — the rental house was small. Tiny would be a better description.
This scale bothered Johnson not at all, and a few weeks after moving in, he listed a few favorite design features. "A roof," he said. "Heat." A flush toilet! The tents where he had lived for most of the past seven years hadn't provided any of those things.
In what seemed like an Oprah stunt of old, Johnson's friends (21 men and seven women) also moved into tiny houses Dec. 24. They had all been members of a homeless community called Camp Quixote, a tent city that moved more than 20 times after its founding in 2007.

Beyond its recent good fortune, the settlement was — and is — exceptional. Quixote Village, as it is now called, practices self-governance, with elected leadership and membership rules. While a nonprofit board called Panza funds and guides the project, needing help is not the same thing as being helpless. As Johnson likes to say: "I'm homeless, not stupid."
A planning committee, including Johnson, collaborated with Garner Miller, an architect, to create the village's site layout and living model. Later, the plans were presented to an all-camp assembly. "Those were some of the best-run and most efficient meetings I've ever been involved in," said Miller, a partner at MSGS Architects. "I would do those over a school board any day."
The residents lobbied for a horseshoe layout rather than clusters of cottages, to minimize cliques. And they traded interior area for porches. The social space lies outside the cottage. Or as Johnson put it: "If I don't want to see anybody, I don't have to."
It is rare that people who live on the street have the chance to collaborate on a 2.1-acre, $3.05 million real-estate development. Nearly as surprising is that Quixote Village may become a template for homeless housing projects across the country. The community has hosted delegations from Portland, Seattle and Santa Cruz, Calif.;
and fielded inquiries from homeless advocates in Ann Arbor, Mich.; Salt Lake City; and Prince George's County, Md.
In a few other cities, "microhousing" is close to sheltering populations of the chronically homeless. OM Build, a subsidiary of the economic-justice movement Occupy Madison, runs a workshop to build 99-square-foot wood cabins on wheels in Wisconsin's capital.
Some advantages to building small are obvious. Ginger Segel, of the nonprofit developer Community Frameworks, points to construction costs at Quixote Village of just $19,000 a unit (which included paying labor at the prevailing commercial wage). Showers, laundry and a shared kitchen have been concentrated in a community center. When you add the cost of site preparation and the community building, the 30 finished units cost $88,000 each.
By comparison, Segel, 48, said: "I think the typical studio apartment for a homeless adult in Western Washington costs between $200,000 and $250,000 to build." In a sense, though, the difference is meaningless. Olympia and surrounding Thurston County hadn't built any such housing for homeless adults since 2007.
While the residents of Quixote Village are expected to pay 30 percent of their income toward rent, 15 of the 29 individuals reported a sum of zero. Segel added that the average annual income for the rest of the residents — including wages, pensions and Social Security payments — was about $3,100 each.
"This, to my knowledge, is the first example of using microhousing as subsidized housing for very poor people," Segel said. "It's such an obvious thing. People are living in tents. They're living in cars. They're living in the woods."
Easier to look for a job
Jon Waddey describes Quixote Village "not as an end, but a means." He had been cooking in a restaurant that closed, and bottomed out in jail on a felony heroin possession.
Even after starting methadone, he was in no state to look for another job. "I had a huge beard," he said. "I needed a place to shave and shower. I just needed a place to feel human."
At other homeless shelters, the employees rummaged through your bags, Breathalyzed you and kicked you out from morning to evening time. "It's a horrible feeling having no place to be," said Waddey, 41. At a facility like that, "You're really made to feel where you're at."
Of his new cottage, he said: "I absolutely love it. I have my little writing desk, my reading desk, a lovely view of the trees. In a way, that's what I've always wanted."
A few weeks after settling into Quixote Village, Waddey was starting to investigate how long it would take at The Evergreen State College to finish his long-deferred undergraduate degree. At night, he was making his way through the John le Carré BBC miniseries "Smiley's People," and cooking for friends in the community kitchen.
"I think cooking is one of the most fundamental things you can do," Waddey said. "To feed people and see how happy it makes them."
Not next to dump
The classic image of a tiny home is a grown-up dollhouse, a spot to play make-believe. The scale is humble, but the architectural detail is rich: eyebrow windows, stick-style trusses.
The tiny houses of Quixote Village, by contrast, stand 10 feet apart in what looks like an industrial park. Check that; the site is an industrial park, 2 miles west of the state capital. Parked across the street is a fleet of gas-delivery trucks.
This is the vacant land that Thurston County gave to Quixote Village on a 41-year lease (at $1 a year). It wasn't easy to find an agreeable site, said Karen Valenzuela, 64, a county commissioner who supported the project. The next-best location, she said, was "a piece of property adjacent to our county waste and recovery center — known as the county dump."
Before construction began, planners discovered that you could practically reach the water table with a straw. All the drainage had to go somewhere. And so, during Olympia's galoshes season, the water collects in three retention ponds, aka mud pits.
The residents hate these overgrown puddles, admitted Miller, the architect. "I like to joke that you have waterfront property," he said.
The original design called for the community center to have a loft and library, visitors' quarters and an infirmary. Ultimately, all these items went the way of "value engineering."
Likewise, the first drawings of the cottages show handsome cedar-plank siding and cork flooring. The finished units ended up with board-and-batten and bare plywood floors.
"I've done plenty of high-design projects, and that's not what this is at all," Miller said. "It's about providing houses for people who were in tents a month ago."
Another thing Miller cut: about half his fee. He had previously volunteered as an overnight host when the tent city quartered at his church, First United Methodist, as part of a seven-church rotation that saw Camp Quixote move every 90 days.
It was these same congregants who, after forming relationships with the residents, became the staunchest advocates for a permanent housing site. Jill Severn, a member of the Olympia Unitarian Universalist Congregation, was one of them. "When you pack a city council meeting with 30 homeless people and 120 nice church people," she said, "they can't say no."
One volunteer's efforts
Ask the residents about Severn, 66, and they will describe her as a Trotskyist, a second mother and a saint. By her own account, she has also done stints as an overnight talk-show host, a garden writer, a union organizer, a speechwriter to two Washington governors and an author of the state's middle-school civics textbook.
As the (now former) board chairwoman of Panza, Severn called on several of those vocations to bring Quixote Village into existence. In 2011, for instance, she cooked a home meal for Hans Dunshee, 60, the Democratic chairman of the Washington State House Capital Budget Committee.
Severn's lobbying campaign was effective. "She got me drunk," Dunshee said. Their supper conversation eventually led to a $1.5 million allocation in the capital budget. Joking aside, he praised Quixote Village's penny-wise approach as a kind of pilot project.
Frank Chopp, 60, the Democratic speaker of the house, was another backer. "Fifty percent of the homeless have some kind of mental illness," he said. "The best way of responding to that is housing. It doesn't have to be much. Just get them out of the rain, and out of the street."
Still, no one would mistake the homeless for a powerful or popular constituency. Funding 30 cottages is not the kind of act that wins elections.
Dunshee said: "Speaking as a politician, I don't think there's any political value in this. You wake up feeling, I did something decent."
Other major donations to the project included federal Housing and Urban Development money distributed by the county, $604,002, and county-distributed Home Consortium funds, $170,000. The Nisqually Indian Tribe gave $40,000 and the Chehalis Tribe gave $7,000.
The weekly residents' meeting, which comes after dinner on Wednesday nights, strikes Severn as the quintessence of direct democracy.
A top agenda item in the new location: Why, oh why, is there no cable TV?
Villagers like Arin Long, 28, have been struggling with a related aspect of living in an industrial park. "Point blank: There's nothing to do," she said. "Especially for drug addicts who are getting clean. And that's everybody."
She has tried collaging, beading and sewing new pink curtains for her cottage. (What was wrong with the original set? "Look at them!" she said. "They're retro — not my style.") And yet, unexpectedly, Long said, she has found herself daydreaming about the old Camp Quixote and sleeping rough.
There were trenches to dig when it rained — and it always rained — and tarps to tie down in the wind. "I miss that stuff," she said. "It's labor. It keeps you busy."

I like the glide but it gets stickey after a few minutes and often makes skin boogers, which is just gross.
I love this product. I have used many lotions through the years for massage and this one is by far the best I have used. It has great glide and does not get sticky because of the amount of oils also in the lotion. Some are too dry this moisturizing leaving skin feeling soft and hydrated.
This lotion is not good for Swedish or relaxation massage. It gets sticky and not enough glide. Wouldn't reccommend for this purpose. It might be okay for deep tissue work but it's not what I expected.
Glides wonderful good for all types of massage
Great product. I have tried other company's supply's
But not as good.

Send it my way and I'll shoot it for you. I'm only 50 minutes away!! I'll even clean it when I'm done. Shoot one and clean, shoot one and clean. I'll even break it in right.

The 140gr accubonds have performed very well for me at 3000fps from my 264WM. My muley last year I hit quartering away hard at the back rib and found the bullet under the hide in the opposite side of the neck weighing 60%. All the other one's I've shot at game have passed through. Deer tend to run 80-100yds after a lung shot with them, but not much further. I think you will really like your new rifle.
I haven't had that quick of kills, but I usually aim to take out both lungs and not breaking shoulders. Maybe the larger frontal area or greater velocity of your bullet causes more shock for a quicker kill. Most of the bucks I've shot have been mature big bodied mid-western whitetail and they seldom die easily.
Where do you usually hit them with your 7SAUM?
I'm super interested to hear how that new gun shoots.I'm considering the same rifle as a next project.
Look real hard at the Barnes 127 gr LRX bullet in 6.5.I think at the velocities you'll be posting that bullet will hammer em.
I just killed a small Blacktail trhis past wekend here in california with the LRX out of my 300 wm.Found the bullet stuck in an offside rib.It went in weighing 175 grains and weighs 174.9 now.All I lost was the little blue tip and it mushroomed perfectly.I'm sold
Gun shoots awesome with 140g accubonds. I might try those barnes for a little more speed. Haven had a chance to kill anything with it though.
I shoot Accubonds in all my rifles for all big game. Put 'em where they belong and they always do the job. A buddy of mine has a Savage in 6.5/.284 that he shoots for prairie dogs. Awesome rifle for that way out there stuff...
6.5 fad here in Australia is starting to wane.
I built a 6.5x47 Lapua, and there are a lot of 264 Win Mag, 6.5x284, 6.5x55 Ackley, 6.5x68 Schuler, and 6.5 Creedmoor rifles around town.
There is a lot of speculation that something weird happens in 6.5 caliber that doesn't happen in 6mm, 7mm, .338 and .308 caliber at long range.
We shoot F-Class from 300-1400, 1000 yard Benchrest, and sniper shoots every weekend. There is a new belief that somewhere in the neighborhood of 750 yards the spin drift effect on the 6.5's long for caliber length throws in a weird distortion. This seems to be especially evident in VLD heavy for caliber 6.5s.
Could be hoopla, could be true, not sure. But I have seen it in about half of all the 6.5 caliber rifles on the range.
Enough that I am kind of a believer. I'd like to speak with Brian Litz and Todd Hodnett about it when get back to the states next year.
These are custom rifles on either trued Remington M700's, trued-Howas or things like Surgeon, Stiller, Stolle, BAT, or Barnard. And top end barrels from Krieger, Shilen, True-Flight, Border, and so on. Not just crap thrown together.
Always had a yen for a .264 WinMag in a pre 64 M70. A friend has one and I've always told him if he ever decides to sell it, give me a chance to buy it. Probably wouldn't shoot it much as it would be pretty hard to set down my 25-06, it shoots too damn good! Best deer/antelope gun I have ever shot!

They did this by saying they hadn't gone hunting truffles. But something had to be done with the few truffles they did find.
On Sunday people would invite their relatives over for dinner, and to make it seem as though there were plenty of truffles, they would cook them up with olives, capers, and anchovies.
Following this tradition Savini Tartufi has created this Gatherer's sauce with champignon mushrooms, olive oil, black olives, black truffle, capers, and salt.
The resulting sauce can be used on croutons, pasta, and chicken.
Imported from Italy.

Beer muffins have great depth of flavor
Beer and muffins -- now there are two words you don't often see in the same sentence, let alone in the same recipe. Most muffin batters, even savory ones, are moistened with milk or buttermilk. But beer will do the same job, adding flavor and bubbly lift.
Beer is more often used in quick bread. Its carbonation helps the bread rise, and its yeasty flavor mimics the flavor and aroma of "real" bread in a fraction of the time it would take to make a yeast-risen bread.
I will never turn down a loaf of beer bread, but I like muffins better. With no slicing, and no crumbs, they are easier and neater to serve. They are also easy to save. Leftover bread goes stale quickly, but you can keep leftover muffins fresh by wrapping them in plastic and freezing them. Defrost on the countertop, warm up in a 300-degree oven for five minutes, and they will be indistinguishable from a freshly baked batch.
For my beer muffins, I started with the simplest beer bread recipe, adapting it to fit my muffin tin. I added some baking powder to lighten up the dough. I filled each muffin cup just halfway, and the combination of baking powder and beer caused my muffins to rise impressively. For the tallest muffins, get them into the oven as soon as you mix the dough and before the beer's bubbles have a chance to pop.
Some shredded cheddar cheese and melted butter, mixed into the batter and sprinkled and drizzled on top just before baking, lend richness to the muffins. Take care to grease your muffin tin well for an easy release. If the cheese sprinkled on top has melted onto the pan, to remove from the cups run a sharp paring knife around each muffin to loosen.
Blue Point Toasted Lager gave my muffins terrific flavor. The beer's warm, roasted malt taste became concentrated during baking, and stood up well to the assertive flavors of the cheddar cheese and chopped dill. Using different beer, cheese and herb combinations would give you an entirely different effect. With some imagination and what you have in the refrigerator, you could come up with a custom muffin for every night of the week.
Here are a few variations using beers of different styles and from around the world to get you started:
Sweet muffins benefit just as much from the bubbly flavor of beer (and hard cider). For breakfast or teatime, try one of the following combinations:
Beer Muffins with Cheddar Cheese and Dill
Makes 12 muffins.
2 cups unbleached all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons packed light brown sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
3/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup lager-style beer
6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted and cooled, divided
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese, divided
1 1/2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh dill
HEAT oven to 375°. Spray a 12-cup muffin tin with nonstick cooking spray.
WHISK together the flour, brown sugar, baking powder and salt in a large mixing bowl. Stir in the beer and 4 tablespoons of melted butter until a rough dough forms. Stir in 3/4 cup cheese and the dill.
DIVIDE the batter among the muffin cups. Drizzle the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter over muffins. Sprinkle the remaining 1/4 cup cheese on top.
BAKE until the muffins are golden and toothpick inserted into the center of one of the muffins comes out dry, about 18 minutes.
COOL in the pan for 5 minutes, invert onto a wire rack, reinvert, let cool another 5 minutes and serve warm.

* Happy Anniversary Diorama
My sweet hubby and I recently celebrated our
12th Wedding Anniversary and 15 years together
and... 15 years of my sweet hubby being cancer free! Woo-Hoo
Our oldest daughter, "E" asked me (mysteriously) for a box of a certain
size before my hubby and I left for our mini-weekend retreat.
My mom graciously volunteered to keep her two favorite grandchildren for the weekend!
This adorable diorama was her surprise gift for us.
I love it!!
Best. gift. ever.
She said she might use peeps next year!
I asked her if she could add my two little girls ("E" and "C") but she said,
"No mama, it's supposed to be you guys on your anniversary- why would we be there too?!"
I love that she made me wearing my new purple dress I bought to wear to dinner
with my hubby (and my flip flops!) and my hubby in his weekend uniform
of a t-shirt and cargo shorts!! : )
Speaking of anniversaries...
Happy 41 YEARS to my own parents today!

About Prada
History and background of Prada. The Prada label was begun in 1913 by Mario Prada when he began selling shoes, leather handbags and trunks. He opened two boutiques in Milan after experience in Europe and U.S.A. The classic Prada suitcase was made of heavy walrus skin but as plane travel made heavy suitcases impractical, the company started to make lighter bags and high quality items made of crystals, tortoise shell and wood.

text: McCartney stashes his extraordinary library in the cloud Culture 15 June 11 by Scott Thill From his legendary work with the Beatles to his extensive solo career, now being exhaustively digitised by Hewlett-Packard, Paul McCartney has had technocultural innovation on the brain."You certainly find a younger generation discovering and remixing stuff that I did, and making it all fresh again," the perpetually productive McCartney told Wired by phone in the long and winding interview below. "I love the idea that what I did then can still be relevant now."The 69-year-old McCartney has made that process much easier by being consistently ahead of the cultural curve. Although he penned immortal Beatles lullabies like "Yesterday" and "Hey Jude" his tape loops on "Tomorrow Never Knows" and unhinged noise on "Helter Skelter" influenced hip-hop, heavy metal, horror and more.McCartney, who kicks off a US tour with consecutive headlining dates at Yankees Stadium in July, has also become the first superstar to completely digitise his mammoth solo library, according to Hewlett-Packard, which is running the ambitious project.Over the next three years, HP will compress more than a million McCartney tracks, clips, photos, reviews, experiments and ephemera into a cloud-based collection the musician can access from anywhere in the world. That is light-years ahead of digging out old tapes from beneath his studio in England and literally baking them to reverse physical deterioration."That amazed me when I heard that one" McCartney told Wired. "We've actually got to bake my old tapes before we can play them? It's a bit like the steam engine, you know. A bit old-fashioned."Although McCartney himself has been slammed for being old-fashioned on hits like "Silly Love Songs" he's also been routinely, and unfairly, slammed for the opposite. His solo albums, McCartney and McCartney II, whose remastered deluxe upgrades arrive on Tuesday, were respectively blamed for breaking up the Beatles and heretically mucking about with electronic music.Yet the solo records have a sense of prescience to them. McCartney was a "non-corporate" response to the Beatles' suffocating insulation and turmoil, as well as an early example of home-based music production now ubiquitous in our age of GarageBand, McCartney said.Meanwhile, McCartney II's love of sequencers and synthesizers merged dance and pop music into a defiant hybrid that tipped its hat to stellar but obscure bands like Sparks while providing an early sonic antecedent of horny G-funk ("Darkroom") and crossover R&B. (How many MTV and VH1 viewers know that popular soul trio TLC bit McCartney's rhyme "Waterfalls" on the way to the big time?)The groundbreaking video for "Coming Up" even featured sci-fi McCartney clones called The Plastic Macs, a nod to his nickname as well as John Lennon's solo outfits Plastic Ono Band and The Dirty Mac.While logging more than 50 years of work, McCartney has always had one foot in the future, even as some around him have complained that he is locked in "Yesterday." Of course, they simply haven't done their research.Today, award-winning director Jack McCoy is channeling obscure tunes from McCartney's electronic music project The Fireman and McCartney II into captivating surf films and YouTube videos. (Check out McCartney and McCoy's brand new short film "Blue Sway" above.)And, as Wired reported last week, McCartney is revisiting tape loops and found sounds in a forthcoming project utilising the same machines used on "Tomorrow Never Knows." We chatted with McCartney about his time-warping influence, the Beatles, McCartney and McCartney II's bleeding edges and why his titanic digital library has nothing to fear from WikiLeaks.

Awesome buck. Looks like a lot of work but a lot of fun at the same time. Congrats
Well did lots of research and made the trek out west for my first COhigh country hunt a DIY public land bow hunt. Spent 11 Days in the backcountry without seeing even a foot print except that made by my friend that was with me. After making many mistakes managed to make it all come together on day 10 on my first ever high country mule deer and i couldn't be more pumped! We hunted hard with a thirteen mile hike from the trailhead and a ten mile move halfway through the hunt. It was an awesome experience and a trip i hope to make a yearly thing. I absolutly love the mountains and this was just icing on the cake! Managed to stalk within 25yards of this bruiser and put a perfect double lunger on him, with this steepness of the terrain it felt just like a tree stand shot on a white tail back home! Can't wait to get back, but for now i am going to have to be content with sitting in a tree.
Awesome buck. Looks like a lot of work but a lot of fun at the same time. Congrats
That's a great buck. Congratulations. Have you put tape to him yet? He has great forks!
congrats! sounds like a well earned buck
great buck, sounds like a great hunt
Thanks guys, i am really pumped, definetely put a lot of effort into getting him, everything from the physical training to the research to the feet on the ground hiking up and down some crazy mountains with packs loaded for eleven days worth of living and hunting it was worth every bit and a constant adventure.
Haven't put a tape on him yet and have no clue what he will score with the velvet he went straight to the taxidermest, anybody got any estimates?
Awesome Mulie! Great job.
Fantastic job and a great buck, you did it the right way, congrats. I would guess 165-170 for score. Did you draw on your first try or did you put in for points prior to this.
Blue Skies Hunting Adventures
Great buck and big time congrats. I don't think many can say they head into CO for their first backcountry hunt and score the first time! Awesome job.
Good job! Coming out and scoring on your fist muley hunt is an accomplishment. It took me a few years to get my first good muley with a bow. Congrats to you and your buddy.
A bad day in the woods is better than a good day at work.
Shoot the best, Shoot PSE!

Jonathan and Charlotte made BGT vow - (unless Simon Cowell demanded solo)
11:02 12 May 2012
Photographs & copy; Copyright Ken McKay 2011
Pop-opera duo Jonathan and Charlotte admitted they were ready to split up and go it alone when they first appeared on Britain's Got Talent.
The pair, who are hot favourites to win tonight's live final, resisted Simon Cowell's attempt to make Jonathan a solo act after their first audition.
But Charlotte said: "We had a conversation before and we were kind of like 'If they ask one of us to leave the duo how would we deal with it?"'
The teenager from Ilford, east London, said: "If they give you the choice and it is your actual choice, then OK, then stay together, but if it's kind of on your own or nothing then go, because why would you miss an opportunity like that?".
The pair are 4/5 on with bookmakers William Hill to win the ITV1 talent show.

Summer's the Best Time to Read Something--Anything!
You might not choose anything too weighty but something absorbing, fun, and fast-paced is likely to grab your attention. Some folks can read Anna Karenina on the beach and be in reader-heaven while others find Twilight to be the perfect summer read.
Reading and Thinking: There's a Connection
Reading is key to the ability to concentrate and to develop critical thinking skills and has to be the most effortless way to acquire those needed skills and abilities. There have been several articles and books lately lamenting the effects of online reading and documenting online's deleterious effects on comprehension, concentration, and attention-span. Reading for pleasure is the best cure--it harnesses key brain learning centers and has a wondrous effect on emotional balance, promoting a sense of well-being and tranquility--well, unless you're reading some fast-paced adventure or absorbing mystery, then you might be a tad excited. Either way, healthy endorphins--or as we call them in my house, happy dolphins--are released.
Adult Summer Reading Club!
Whatever you like, take part in the Adult Summer Reading Club, a library program that rewards you for reading and telling us about it. To be part of it, just read a book, come to the library, get a half-page form, give us your name, the title of the book, let us and other readers know what you thought, and enter our weekly raffle for great prizes from local businesses.
In August we'll be holding our annual End of Adult Summer Reading party called Jazz and Chocolate in which we will treat you to lilting jazz played a terrific San Francisco trio and loads of delicious chocolate (and other comestibles) at the Pacifica-Sanchez Library on Friday August 13.

Directory of resourses related to the process of converting organic-based matter into burnable fuel as a replacement for fossil fuel.
Considering the fuel costs involved in farming, is not the concept of biofuels somewhat contradictory? Yes, the final product may have chemically derived from a plant-based origin, but how much "fossil" fuel is consumed in the process of creating each gallon of biofuel?
For this reason, programs that recycle/convert already existing pre-cursors into fuel seem the most plausible, such as griesel or biomass.

I have made maps similar to your example - just go to my website or my deviantART site (below in the sig). If you are interested contact me by email.
Scope of Project
At the very least, I would like a world map, but maps of the major cities would be ideal and very much appreciated. In that regard, there are only a few major cities, with the themes of each more or less decided, although still open to interpretation. The impression of a hand drawn map would be excellent, although just having a map of some sort would be enough.
The world of Shard is currently composed of only 2 continents, one in the classical shape of Europe with heavy forestation, mountains as well as areas following a more Eastern flavor with the stereotypical monasteries perched atop mountain peaks. Also worth mentioning is the prevalence of ice around the vast majority of the first continent, leading all the way towards the second continent. The other one is reminiscent of a heavily populated Siberia. On a separate note, there is a rather monolithic tunnel network underneath the first continent, although that particular detail is rather less important than the world above.
As mentioned earlier, the appearance of a hand drawn map would be most excellent, but a map in and of itself is sufficient to my needs. For reference, this would be my preference as to the style of the map.
300 dpi minimum. JPG or PNG filetype preferably.
As far as a physical copy of the map, if possible, a 32"x24" map would suit my needs.
Time Constraints
None that I can think of.
Since this is merely for a personal project, the only rights I would need are the ability to make copies of it as needed, not for commercial gain.
Please contact me to discuss rates.
For the time being, the best place to contact would be on this thread. As required, I can hand out my email address.
I have made maps similar to your example - just go to my website or my deviantART site (below in the sig). If you are interested contact me by email.

Auburn offensive coordinator Gus Malzahn signs multi-year deal worth $1.3 million annually | al.com
Gene must of sold his soul to get the money for this...
If they have 200k for a player, they have 1.3 mil for a coach, especially one that's the real reason for their success.
Dude was coaching high school ball like 5 years ago, probably making 50K

It takes that much to cover for a 5-19 head coach. Nice to see Auburn knows the reason for their success as well. It sure isn't the HC!
The whole Auburn situation just makes me ill.
He is tied for 43 highest paid coach in America...This list doesn't take into account assistants..

Easy solution: Salary Cap for an entire fooball coaching staff, and a cap on incentives. And make it something that is within the budgets of the top half of the schools in the BCS, not just Texas, USC, Florida and Auburn.
You can't die. That would upset the equilibrium in the Cave.

Gene-o is paying all $800K of the raise. Without Malzahn HE'D be the one coaching high school in five years.
Dean Wormer was wrong. Fat, drunk and stupid was a great way to go through college (all five years of it).
Guz Malzahn, IMO is in a three way tie for the best offensive minds in football. Guys a genius. Seriously. RichRod, Chip Kelly and him have brilliant offensive minds. Chip is the only one who has shown any sort of defense though. He may be the best coach in America. I like Nick Saban a lot, but I don't know if he could do what he does at a school with somewhat small tradition.
This is very important:

Exactly! I can't wait for it to all come crumbling down.
If Gene learned nothing else during his time in Ames, he learned the value of quality assistants...
Walking on water is easy. Just do it in December when it's frozen.
Gene must have told the AD if Malzhan leaves he is going to hire Robert McFarland as is OC.

SUNY facing a critical crossroads
(Page 2 of 2)
If SUNY's state-operated campuses do not get increased state support, they may be forced to reduce programs and courses further. That would be bad, not only for students but also for local economies. Fewer programs will eventually lead to fewer students. Declines in student populations will decrease demand for housing in SUNY communities, and reduce the number of students patronizing local businesses.
SUNY needs more state support
The state must reinvest in SUNY to help it grow and continue to fulfill its mission of ensuring access to eligible students. We urge state lawmakers to amend the 2013-14 proposed budget and increase state support for SUNY's state-operated campuses by $25 million. The state must make this investment to help SUNY keep the promise of making higher education accessible to all qualified students. It would also shift the balance of state support back to a more equitable share.
It is in all of our best interests to help the thousands of SUNY students and to protect the economic well-being of communities that house SUNY campuses.
I urge you to visit United University Professions' website at www.uupuinfo.org. There, you can send letters to your state lawmakers asking them to amend the budget and add $25 million in state support for SUNY.
The writer is president of United University Professions, the union representing 35,000 faculty and professional staff at SUNY's 29 state-operated campuses.

What size computer monitor should I purchase?
The size of your computer monitor screen should be contingent on usage times and intended purposes. General monitor sizes come in 15", 17", 19", and 21" sizes, yet Sam's Club offers screens from 23", 24", 27", and up! For consumers who use their computers regularly, it is recommended to get at least a 17" or 19" screen. For those doing design-related work on their computers, it would be very beneficial to purchase a larger screen (23" or larger).
LCD computer monitors are space-efficient, so unlike CRT monitors, the screen size will not have much influence on space efficiency. Wide-screen LCD monitors are also available for those who prefer the wider-angled viewing experience while using their computer.
The 'viewable size' of the screen is something to pay close attention to upon purchase. The viewable size refers to the actual images displayed on screen rather than the encasement of the entire monitor. Manufacturers' viewable sizes may vary, so it is important to keep this in mind.
What is Dot Pitch in regards to a computer monitor?
Dot pitch is associated with how well displayed or how sharp images appear on the computer monitor. A monitor's dot pitch refers to the amount of space (in millimeters) separating two adjacent pixels of the same color. Seek an LCD computer monitor hosting a dot pitch no larger than 0.25.
What is the importance of a computer monitor's resolution?
An LCD monitor's maximum resolution refers to the amount of pixels which can be displayed horizontally and vertically. It is good practice to seek an LCD monitor that offers a large viewing area, yet does not sacrifice viewing pleasure. For instance, a 19" monitor with a resolution of 1,280 x 1,024 is standard, allowing for easy viewing, and a 21" screen with a 1,600 x 1,200 is also standard for good viewing (these numbers are standardized -- optimal viewing may differ depending on manufacturer and model).
Computer Monitor Buying Tips
- A computer monitor's 'refresh rate' refers to the number of times per second the screen is redrawn. This measurement is rendered in hertz. Look for a monitor with a refresh rate of at least 75 MHz the resolution you desire to run the monitor.
- Available controls will vary depending on the manufacturer and models. Sam's Club has a variety of Dell and Samsung LCD computer monitors. Look for models that offer controls reflective of your desires.

This was just a quick iceberg dungeon I threw together for use in FantasyGrounds or equivalent program which can snap on a grid. It's not fancy, it's not cool, and I used some map elements from the guild (Thanks GP, Redrobes, and anyone else). The dungeon is a stasis cell for 3 psions, one of which is a PC, and 2 of which are evil. The psions are meant to be imprisoned in the polygonal ice blocks at the bottom level. The hole in the iceberg is a chute down to the bottom level, and the PCs must find a way out. Sarcophagi underneath the ice bricks open to reveal corpses holding weapons (spear, double-headed spear, trident) which melt different ice walls when put into the statue's hands. The psions are meant to use mental powers to fight over the PCs to sway them to thaw their respective blocks first.
After this, there are traps in the ground (not detailed on map for obvious reasons) which can set off 5' boulders flying down the upward-winding tunnel (think FF8 Lunatic Pandora in dream world sequences with Laguna on Disc 1). If that didn't make any sense to you, don't worry. Anybody with a functioning brain and a postive-integer IQ could come up with a dungeon floorplan as simple as this, but anyone is free to use it and I don't need credit.
Level 2 should have some kind of ice guardians - maybe an giant ice frog (haha @ Quebecers) which leaps across the lethal sub-freezing pools and attacks with a long tongue. Frigid, invulnerable zombies (the corpses previous adventurers) slowly climb out of the pools and chase the PCs around until they manage to slay the ice frog and escape the undead-ridden tomb. The reward? Our friend, a psion player character, of course!
Hope it's of some use or inspiration!
(the images may be out of order)
edit: I threw together a little riddle. The riddle itself doesn't make sense, but any good DM could BS his way into making it apply based on the number of spearheads on the weapon, based on the number of eyes of the psions, based on the number of sides on the polygonal ice blocks. Not great, but something is better than nothing:
The seabed is deep while the flotsam's afloat;
A singular mind will turn fishes to boats.
A clam is the safest when left undisturbed;
To pry it unclosed will make actions reverbed.
If death means escaping a prison of blue,
Three legs is faster than running with two.
OK! Enjoy!

From A to Zowie
Jerry Jones searches for a new coach for the Dallas Cowboys
By Richard Zowie
Well, fellow Dallas Cowboy fans, we can stick a fork into this season of the Cowboys. I feel foolish: this pre-season I assured one of my nephews that there was nothing to worry about with Dallas getting clobbered by most its opponents this preseason. That should have been a deadly omen how bad the team looked.
And now, with Wade Phillips finally being shown the door, we have Jason Garrett as the interim coach. Is he a permanent solution? I don't know. It will depend on how the team does the rest of the season. My guess is Garrett will become so stressed he'll turn into a 10-pack a day chain smoker. Unfiltered, of course.
I suspect that not only is Jones looking for a new head coach, he probably has already made some calls…
Call Number One
Bill Cowher: Hello?
Jerry Jones: Bill? Jerry Jones here. How are you?
Cowher: Enjoying retirement.
Jones: Bill, what would it take for you to become the head coach of the Dallas Cowboys?
Cowher: Depends. Would you ever step down as general manager?
Jones: When pigs fly.
Now, what I need to know is this: would I ever be able to hire a proven winner like you and keep my job as general manager?
Cowher: When pigs fly…
Call Number Two
Troy Aikman: Hello?
Jones: Troy? Jerry here. How are you?
Aikman: (confused) Jerry Who? Jerry Lewis?
Jones: When have you ever known Jerry Lewis to have an Arkansas drawl?
Aikman: Jerry Rice?
Jones: No, this isn't Jerry Rice. Let me give you a hint: you used to play football for me.
Aikman: Oh! Now I remember! Long time no hear, Jimmy!
Jones: Jimmy?!
Aikman: Yeah! You're Jimmy Johnson, right?
Jones: (exasperated) No, Troy, I'm Jerry Jones, the owner of the Dallas Cowboys. I was going to make you a great job offer, but I think I'll pass now. Clearly, you've had one concussion too many.
Rhonda Aikman, Troy's wife: Honey, who was that on the phone?
Aikman: (laughs) It was my old boss, Jerry Jones. He was going to ask me if I wanted to coach the Dallas Cowboys, but I figured if I pretended to still suffer the side-effects of concussions, he'd quit pestering me. Someone's going to have to pry the general manager position from his cold, dead hands before I'd even consider being Dallas' head coach…
Call Number Three
Jon Gruden: Hello?
Jerry Jones: Hello, Jon. Jerry Jones here. How are you--?
Gruden: You're offering me the head coaching job of the Cowboys, aren't you?
Jones: Yes! I think you'd be a great fit.
Gruden: No.
Jones: You don't want to coach the Cowboys?
Gruden: I'd love to coach the Cowboys, but right now, it's not a good fit.
Jones: Why not?
Gruden: Because you're the general manager.
Jones: What's wrong with that?
Gruden: Jerry, I've already worked for one clueless, meddling owner in Al Davis of the Oakland Raiders. Once was enough for me…
So, finally, Jerry gets desperate and makes a "Hail Mary" call…
Call Number Four
Jimmy Johnson: Hello?
Jerry Jones: Jimmy! Jerry. How are you?
Johnson: Not bad. Just looking at a deal to endorse hair spray.
Jones: Listen, as you know, I had to fire Wade Phillips as head coach of the Cowboys.
Johnson: Since I work on Fox's NFL show, I sort of knew that already.
Jones: Well, as I've been brainstorming, I was wondering if you would be interested in coaching the Dallas Cowboys again.
[Half an hour later, after Jimmy Johnson finally quits laughing, he wipes tears away and takes a deep breath]
Johnson: Jerry, you'll never have another Super Bowl win until you fire yourself as general manager and hire a real GM and a real coach. Working once with you as the GM was more than enough for me…
So, finally, Jones calls up NFL commissioner Roger Goodell and asks this question: "Mr. Goodell, would it be permitted by the rules for me to hire myself as the head coach?"

Hey guys, the brief story is as follow: started to notice rapid hair loss about november last year - went to two dermatologists who said it was TE because of major surgery earlier in the year and it should go away.
It sort of got better for a while, then starting shedding again and went to a dermo a couple months ago, said still thought it was TE/CTE but go on rogaine if worried to try to kick-start it.
Anyway I am beginning to disagree so I've been on rogaine foam for 2 weeks and finasteride 1.25mg(fincar/4) every day for the past week and niz 3 times per week.
The only problem is I have started to get sore eyes/bags under eyes which i THINK is from the rogaine foam - could be in my head though - could it be that i am applying to a wet scalp at times and it absorbs too much? any tips?
anyway here are some recent photos:
