Seattle, WA (Sports Network) - Raul Ibanez smashed a three-run home run and
the Seattle Mariners defeated the Oakland Athletics, 6-3, in the opener of a
three-game series.
Kendrys Morales, Justin Smoak and Michael Morse contributed with an RBI apiece
for the Mariners, who have won eight of their last 11 games.
Seattle starter Hisashi Iwakauma (4-1) had nine strikeouts and allowed two
runs on nine hits over seven frames. Tom Wilhelmsen pitched a flawless ninth
to notch his 10th save.
Jed Lowrie drove in two runs and Derek Norris had a home run for the
Athletics, who saw starter Dan Straily (1-1) surrender six runs on six hits
and four walks in five-plus innings.
Seattle scored twice in the first. Seager drew a walk with one out, and
Morales and Morse hit back-to-back singles, with Morse scoring Seager. Smoak
followed that with a double, bringing Morales home.
Seager singled to lead off the third and later stole second. Smoak drew a
walk, setting up Ibanez's homer, and the Mariners' lead was 5-0.
Morales tacked on one more run for the Mariners in the fifth when he smacked a
double deep into center field, scoring Seager, who drew a leadoff walk.
The Athletics, however, came back in the sixth. Lowrie knocked a two-out, two-
RBI double, plating Eric Sogard and John Jaso. In the eighth, Norris hit a
solo shot, but the Athletics' next three batters all struck out.
Wilhelmsen pitched a 1-2-3 ninth to end the game.
Game Notes
Seager had two walks, a stolen base and three runs scored ... Lowrie hit his
12th double of the season ... The Mariners were 3-for-10 with runners in
scoring position ... Right-handed hitters are 0-for-27 against Wilhelmsen this

Erick Erickson Was Right: Gorman the Clear Choice in AZ03
Gorman believes that the fights taking place in Republican primaries across the country aren't only about defeating Democrats in November, but they are something more. Perhaps Gorman is the only official Tea Party endorsed candidate in the race because she recognizes that while the Democratic Party represents a real current threat, Republicans have too often failed to deliver what voters demand and what the country needs. Gorman has preached not only throwing out the Democrats, but also ensuring that the right Republicans win so that the Party is not dominated by moderates who don't have the stomach for the serious medicine the country needs.Read More »

Images for the last two steps.
I wanted to have a map ready for a game last week, and hadn't drawn in the buildings (mostly because it sounded kind of grueling). Instead, I whipped up a quick process that ended up looking real nice.
The image series is attached, and I'll describe each step here. I worked at 2400 px by 3000 px.
1. Work out your geography and draw some roads on a separate layer. Plenty of better mappers than me have tutorials on doing that part, so I'll skip the details on it.
2. Select your roads layer (CTRL + Click the layer image. Invert your selection (CTRL + I). Contract your selection by about 20 px. Anywhere you've got a dotted line will be like a thread through the middle of your buildings, so deselect anywhere you don't want.
3. Convert your selection to a Path. In the Path window at the bottom-right, there's a button for it.
4. Now you'll need a building-shaped brush. I used a 40 px square brush with the following settings (all the Controls are set to "off" with one noted exception):
- Spacing: 200%
- Size Jitter: 50%
- Min. Size: 50%
- Angle Jitter: 1% (Control: Direction)
- Roundness Jitter: 25%
- Scatter: 100%
- Count Jitter: 100%
5. Select the roads layer again and expand the selection by 6 px, then Invert. Make a new layer, and stroke the path. I usually do two or three strokes, and you can experiment with using different brush shapes, sizes or settings.
6. Clean up any stray marks. You can leave it flat for a quick black-and-white map suitable for a game, or use some layer effects to prettify things.
7. As a final step, you can select your buildings layer and create more layers to add depth to the roofs. Just repeat the path-stroking step on new layers and change the layer effects. I added second stories and peaked roofs in the example.

Looks like you're definitely on to something there.

Exactly how I do mine in my city tut but with a different brush. This process looks like it might be the easiest and fastest way to do buildings and it can be adapted and changed a bit as well with what brush is used. Since great minds think alike I'll say very nice job

I figured someone was bound to have thought of it first.
What I like is you can use this technique and refine the buildings for a really nice map, or just slap them down and print for game day. You can also add extraneous buildings by just drawing a few stray path lines manually.
Which brush do you use, by the way?

I use a custom rectangle brush and a thatching brush for making thatch roofs. You can find those in the Elements section where I keep my brushes. And yeah the technique is easy...just push a button. Can't get easier than that.

This looks like it would be quite useful in doing quick maps. I'm wondering, as a GIMP user (and a complete newbie to cartography) if anyone else who uses the GIMP has done something similar to this or has adapted this tutorial for us in the GIMP? If so that would be quite the useful tool. I've attempted to apply your technique to a map I'm currently working on for my online game, but there seems to be more fine-grained brush control available in PS than in the GIMP (at least as far as I can tell) with things like jitter, directional stroke and spacing/such...either that or I'm missing something. Any help with this would be much appreciated, and thank you for taking the time to put up this tutorial.
The soon to be release 2.8 will provide similar control pf jitter, angle following, random sizing, etc.
In the mean time, you can make your own image hoses using my rotating brush script (see sig) that could produce similar results.

A big thanks to everyone who contacted me. This project has now been taken.
Hi, Im currently using a self hosted Wordpress platform to blog about the adventures of a character who blunders into another dimension and is trying to find his way home. This other dimension is a fantasy world, and I am hoping someone may be able to create a map of a segment of this world to display on my website.
The world is called The Parawerthan and the website is available to view at: http://www.parawerthan.com
I dont require a hugely detailed map. It does, however, does need to be zoomable, in colour but look good in greyscale, and I need to be able to edit it to add minor details as my character journeys to new places. I have added in a rough sketch with map details and Ive also added a map key. Also, Im not too sure of what size this map should be. Its for my website so any suggestions would be grateful.
Timeframe: Preferably, but not strictly, within one month as Im planning a site upgrade in late October.
Ive attached a rough outline of my map. To give an idea of the style Im after, here are some links to cool maps Ive seen up here.

Copyright: I will have the right to use the image for commercial purposes. The artist will have the right to exhibit the image as part of his or her portfolio, but not to exploit it for commercial gain. Artist credit and link to artists url will be added to the website.
Payment: Negotiable. Plus exposure. I have a daily readership of 200+ and growing. I will also be looking for more maps (cities, islands, new territories) in the future.
If anyones interested please forward some examples of your work to me via email.
My email address is foxmcgeever --at-- hotmail.co.uk
Many thanks, and I absolutely love this site.

Baltimore County News
Fronda Cohen
Baltimore County Office of Communications
The first time I walked into the lobby, I thought I was in a luxury hotel. A large contemporary stone fireplace was warming oh-so-comfy chairs. It only got better when I went to the fifth floor, where residents and their guests find a stunning community room with several entertainment areas, a heated rooftop pool, and a fitness center. The only word I can think of for these spaces is "curated." It's easy to envy the residents of the 357 apartments in this 18-story building.
I'll stop here, before I sound too much like a leasing brochure. Here's my point: The building is on Washington Avenue in the Palisades of Towson. Yes, downtown Towson.
More than 2,600 equally beautiful apartments and townhomes have recently been built or are in development, all within a five-minute walk of the shopping, restaurants, parks and entertainment in downtown Towson. These new homes are perfect for young professionals, college students and faculty, and people who want all the amenities of 21204 living without having to mow a lawn.
What does this mean for Towson? It means more people will be just down the street from their office or college campus, enjoying downtown Towson life. It means more people will be walking from home to catch a movie at the new theatres being built at Towson Square, or stopping by Towson City Center for a Live Lunch concert at the new WTMD studios. It means more people will be enjoying a meal at a locally-owned restaurant (Oyster Bay Grille just opened, and Cunningham's is opening soon). It means more people will be working off that meal at the new L.A. Fitness Center at Towson Commons, visiting an exhibit at the Towson Arts Collective, and discovering one-of-a-kind gems along Allegheny Avenue.
New residential development in downtown Towson is already bringing over $450 million in private investment to the County. We asked County Executive Kevin Kamenetz what this means for the county as a whole. "The new development in downtown Towson translates into hundreds of construction jobs, plus increased tax revenue to help the County pay for schools, public safety and upgrades to our aging infrastructure. This is vital to our continued economic success."
"A great County seat deserves a great, vibrant downtown," the County Executive added. "With all the luxury amenities in the new apartment communities, it might be tough to coax downtown Towson residents out of their buildings. But who would want to pass up the shopping, restaurants and entertainment just down the street? After all, isn't that why folks are moving here in the first place?"

WASHINGTON (WUSA9) -- Congress has one week to pass a new budget or the government will be forced to shut down. The Senate began debate on a budget bill Monday.
Majority Leader Harry Reid promises to pass a bill which funds the government and Obamacare. Republicans want to strip away the money to implement the president's healthcare plan.
Later Tuesday, D.C. Mayor Gray will announce details of the city's contingency plan. We all know that if the federal government shuts down, federal services will likely be delayed, but for D.C., that means our local service may come to a screeching halt because Congress still controls the District's budget. Without representation on the Hill, D.C. really has no control over this matter. So if Congress continues this budget impasse another seven days, the government will shut down October 1. For D.C., that means most of the city will shut down, too.
"This will have a financial impact on the District. And it's -- it's unfortunate because it has nothing to do with the term 'government.' We raise our own taxes. These are construction projects that are private projects, but in order to have the government to be sure to get a permit or other things night move forward, it won't happen and that's absurd," said Councilmember Tommy Wells.
Wells is fired up about this issue. He's also running for D.C. mayor and along with Mayor Gray he supports budget autonomy. He says this is a reason why the city should control its own budget.
Schools, and police and fire departments will stay open but libraries, street sweeping and trash collection services are on the chopping block. We could see some empty construction sites because the agency that hands out building permits will likely close, too, if the government shuts down.

This is partly answered in the FAQ but...
In the FAQ it says "You can no longer add new user accounts" so it confuses me because with the Open Source edition, you should still be able to add new accounts.
When the trial finishes does it automatically revert to the Open Source edition?
Or do I need to backup and run an install of the Open Source edition?

NiteRider MiNewt Mini 350 Plus Light $0.00
As the sun goes down, and you're on your way home for the night, your 20 lumen light provides some visibility but lacks the ability to light up the ground in front of you. So, if you love blindly hitting potholes at speed, we recommend keeping your wimpy light. However, if you want to see and be seen, you need to step up your light-game with the new NiteRider MiNewt Mini 350 Plus Light.
The MiNewt Mini 350 Plus has the same features that you find in the regular MiNew Mini 350, but with the addition of a helmet mount and extended power cord. The plus version packs 350 lumens into a small light that, instead of projecting a concentrated beam, casts a broad beam in front of you. It has three solid light levels -- high, medium, and low, and it also has a flash setting that lets you adjust the brightness during your ride. Depending on your setting, the battery will last two hours at 350 lumens, four hours at 200 lumens, and six hours at 125 lumens. And to save you from a mid-ride blackout, the battery indicator tells you when it is time to recharge.
With unsightly, bulky constructions that clutter your handlebars, most high-lumen lights are beyond frustrating to use -- not so with MiNewt Mini Plus. The light's compact construction keeps the body low on your bars. To minimize its profile and visibility on the bars, the battery pack mounts under your stem. And for versatility between your bikes, the light mount accommodates handlebars up to 31.8mm. If mounting the light on your helmet better suits your needs, the MiNewt Mini Plus comes with a helmet mount and a power chord extender to better position your battery pack on the back of your helmet.
The NiteRider MiNewt Mini 350 Plus Light comes with a USB charger, and it takes about 4-1/2 hours to fully charge. The entire assembly weighs in around 175 grams.

Almost too bright for commuting
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
I predominately use this light for commuting, so far. My sooner than later plan is to add another more powerful light for my handlebars, then use this one on my helmet for night mountain bike riding.
This light is set to be the first choice to use on my commute, and a perfect compliment to something like the Pro 1800 for ripping singletrack at night.
At night you rarely worry about the uphill traffic, because you'd see their light. And you get desensitized to the eye looking back at you after the first few times.
USB charging is awesome too! I can use my USB backup battery to top off the battery, when I often forget to recharge after using.
Great Light
I bike comute all year around and much of the time it is dark. This light provides plenty of light with a wide dispersion of light. It has three levels of light a flashes. This makes it very versital.

Hi There,
I am upgrading an "hmailserver" email server running on NT to
zimbra on FC4. I'd like to be able to copy off all the *.eml files
from hmailserver and import them into zimbra. Is that possible?
More details:
HMailServer stores email in folders:
So I can get each persons email as a large set of EML files.
I'd like to copy them off to another machine, *upgrade*
the NT box to FC4 then install zimbra, create the
accounts and import the eml files for each user.
Many thanks for any advice or hints as to whether this
is possible.

|Thinking About Health
|Written by Trudy Lieberman, Rural Health News Service
Choosing insurance in the state exchange
Let's face it. Buying health insurance is not fun. It's hardly like shopping for a new computer. But if you make the wrong decision, it could cost you zillions of dollars and maybe even send you to bankruptcy court if you get really sick.
So it pays to think carefully about the policy you can buy in the state shopping exchange if you're one of the thousands of Coloradans eligible for exchange coverage—maybe even with a subsidy to help pay the premium.
Where to begin? Once the computer glitches with the exchanges are corrected—they will be— and you plow through the mechanics of setting up an email account, if you don't already have one, these are the key decisions you have to make.
Decision Point 1: How much coverage do you want?
The answer may depend on how large a subsidy you're eligible for. After you enter basic information about income, the website will calculate how much of a subsidy you can get.
A family of four with an income around $94,000 won't get much; a family with an income about $24,000 will. The amount of the subsidy for the year is the same whether you buy an expensive policy, say a gold plan, which will cover 80 percent of your medical costs, or a cheaper bronze plan that covers only 60 percent.

My dad got me a Winchester 94 for Christmas in 1952. It's got more elk and mule deer kills than I could ever remember. It's still going strong. A 170 gr partition puts the smack on anything it hits. Perfect gun for still hunting the timber. I never felt a need for more gun.
Good to see another 30-30 fan.
Dead Right There
I remember reading an article about shooting at the top third of the vitals instead of the bottom third. You're still shooting the through the lungs, but the shock from the bullet could shock the CNS simply by approximation. It's not a spine shot but energy from the bullet could at least stun the spinal cord without physically hitting it and thus give a DRT shot. This seems safe as even if the animal doesn't drop right there, you still made perfectly good vital shot which should kill it anyways. This obviously isn't advisable for bowhunting, but perfectly reasonable for the rifle hunter. So to the original poster, I think this could be what is happening.
And like everyone else is saying, they're all different. My first elk dropped in his tracks and my dad couldn't believe it because he said he'd never seen it happen. But then again I once thought I was shooting blanks at a bull 'til he just tipped over. Hit him all five times but it didn't even look like he noticed I was even shooting.
Can't spell scum without U&M... Go 'Cats!
These shot are high shoulder shots. Breaks the spine and hits both lungs if done properly. The spine is broken wich causes the legs to buckle and the lungs is what kills the animal while laying there. I've done this a few times myself. 7mm to me is not a huge caliber and that is way I shoot mostly. The high shoulder shot is a great place to shoot a animal IMO. If your to high with your shot you will shoot over top of the animal, if the wind is blowing left to right the chances of a bad shot is less because the bullet can travel much further to the middle of the animal and still hit the lungs unlike if you were aiming at behind the shoulder and the bullet travels more to the middle of the animal you would hit the guts. If the bullet travels to the front of the animal you will hit the neck also dropping the animal. If its low there is a ton of travel for the bullet still to hit lungs. I like them all as long as the animal doesn't suffer. I choose we're I'm aiming by the situation I'm in and how the animal is standing.

Just got a surprise before dark. I shot a doe that was facing me with the black powder gun at about fifty yards. The bullet went through the center of the liver and exited the left ribcage about mid deer, still the deer ran 50-75 yards. On the broadside shots I expect them to run 50 to 125 yard because I only shoot behind the front legs. Next week I will be in unit 67 Colorado using 168 grain Bergers in the 7mm. If I get a shot with the Berger I dont expect a tracking job. If hunting the Aspens I will probably use the Remington Core-Lokts for less meat damage.
Pretty happy with the performance of the barnes on this animal, Even though I did hit meat I wasn't mangled and blood shot from the precusion.
Interesting stuff here guys. I've shot deer, antelope, and elk with everything from a .22 Hornet (only deer) to a .338-378. And each one has reacted differently. Some run, others collapse, some flip over and flop... one thing that I can say for sure about most of the hunting shows where you are seeing instant DRT's (dead right there's) is that most of those guys shoot to break an animal down via crushing major skeletal forms (shoulders) and nervous system centers (spinal cord). For two reasons; one, it ensures recovery of the animal and two, it makes for great T.V. when an animal is killed instantly. Many people do not understand that when a heart/lung shot animal runs off that it is dead on its feet. They assume it is suffering and not in a state of deep shock. Therefore, killing an animal instantly is appealing to both the hunting and non-hunting public.
However, the question remains, how is this done? This can be easily accomplished via a high shoulder shot that strikes the animal on the point of the shoulder two-thirds up the body. A hit from any high velocity, well constructed, caliber appropriate, bullet in this region on ANY mammal will drop them instantly with thier feet tucked and rear hitting the ground followed by their head hitting, Hard! This method works on any and all animals for the simple reason that the bullet is destroying three vital systems; skeletal, nervous, and circulatory all at the same time. The shot placement formula listed above comes from a combination of years of practicing it after reading and watching how to do it from African and North American Writers that span Capstick and Keith to O'Connor and Boddington.
When shot through the ribs behind the shoulder and under the spinal cord an ungulate or predator is being struck in only one vital system, circulatory. Therefore, it does not matter how large the caliber is, there is a high probablity that the animal will "run off" and die. I say that caliber does not matter, assuming one is using a game appropriate caliber (deer/antelope .25-06 - 300, elk/moose 270-375) because a bullet at high velocity that does not break bone and relies and soft tissue devastation via hydro-static shock alone rips through an animal at hundreds if not thousands of feet per second and therefore as is quite often the case as I have experienced on deer sized game, the larger the round the less tissue damage there is and the greater the chance the animal will "run off." I have seen this numerous times when killing deer and antelope with my various .300's, .338's, and big bore lever guns, not that these are not great all around game cartridges because they are, however, they do seem to perform better on game that provides a more substantial body mass (elk/moose/bears) for the bullet to dump it kinetic energy into via expansion and velocity loss. With that said, I've experienced more DRT kills on deer sized game with my .257's, 270's, and non-magnum 30's than with any of my super fast, "HUGE" rounds like my .338-378 or .300 RUM. Unless! I break them down as written about above OR, and here it comes... I am using a fragile and therefore bullet designed for maximum soft tissue destruction. For example, the Nosler Ballistic Tip, Hornady SST, or any of the billed "Varmint Bullets." All of these expand very rapidly and dump massive amounts of energy into a small space and therefore "shock" an animal's nervous system without breaking it down. The arguments for and against these bullets is long and storied but the point is that when kept away from heavy muscle or bone they kill very quickly and cleanly. They are simply not designed to break an animal down by breaking bone though they will do it at proper velocities.
I think we could all take a lesson from the T.V. guys on this one. While there is nothing wrong with shooting for the lungs due to its being a large target and 99.99999999% effective at killing game and therefore, widely and rightly practiced there is a strong argument for breaking animals down by crushing and destroying all three vital systems with one bullet. This is expecially true with dangerous game or in situations where game cannot be allowed to run, e.g. fences, cliffs, water, etc. All hunting situations are different and each calls for specific determinations of shot angles and placement but I for one will continue to shoot "high shoulder" and watch 'em drop hard!
Shoot straight brothers and sisters.

I have taken five elk and all of them fell were they stood. The first was at 285 yards, one at 125 yards, and the others have been under 40 yards. Last years bull was at 20 feet. The bullet didn't have time to expand on that one so he was still standing after the shot. I was a little concerned, didn't want to have to track him, but he didn't take another step. I aim broadside, low in the chest, intentionally going for the front shoulder. I think it is the shoulder that drops them in their tracks, but it also gets both lungs and the heart. They expire quickly. I don't know how many deer I have taken, but shot this way they also drop in their tracks. I did shoot a deer in the neck once with a 300WM using Nosler Ballistic Tips. Thinking less meat damage that way. Dropped in his tracks. I looked him over, took some pictures, and then took my coat off before I started to fIeld dress him. Its been at least 15 minutes and I was about to turn him over to start when he started trying to get up. Shot him again and I never tried a neck shot again. I use a 300WM for elk and a 243 for deer.
Really good post. I shoot a deer behind the shoulder. The reason? To preserve as much edible meat as possible. My hunting pardner, my brother shoots the shoulder. I am using 7mm 168gr Bergers and my super large Nov4 mule deer walked about ten steps before falling. This was a pass through shot that I was satisfied with, a little surprised it did since it did not pass through the spring bear and the bear never took a step. How sure was I of the shot on the deer? My spotter told me he is trying to get up, I had already switched from gum to knife. Griz post is helpful and points out the need for changes between species and circumstances. I let HSM do my reloading, I can't match their quality. Even better for accuracy is the RWS 177, I will be using that where shorter range is the norm. White tail in Ar.
I also like shooting deer with the 243wssm. The 243wssm is like a 25-06 the hard way, same exact ballistics, but more noise. I do like the speed of the 55gr, 4060fps. I shot a large whitetail buck with the 55gr balistic tip, same exact results, pass through deer dead after 50 yds. I know an elk can keep going on one lung, but none of our game can go far with a hole through its hear or both lungs and it don't have to be large caliber. IMO

HOUSTON (AP) — The newest proposal for repurposing the Houston Astrodome and saving it from demolition envisions turning the now-empty stadium into the world's largest indoor park.
The pitch comes from Harris County Judge Ed Emmett, the county's top elected official. He revealed his idea at a news conference Tuesday on the floor of the 49-year-old county-owned building.
Emmett said his idea would include spaces for festivals and other gatherings, as well as hiking, biking and fitness trails on the stadium's upper levels. He had no cost estimate or firm plan for its funding, though he suggested creating private-public partnerships to pay for it.
The Houston Texans and the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo have been eager to demolish the iconic but derelict dome that's next to the new NRG Stadium.

A horrific crime resonates, nearly 25 years later
(Page 3 of 3)
Over these 25 years, Robert has grown up in prison, and is now 46. The kids who went to eighth grade at the Woodmere Middle School with Kelly Tinyes are now 38. They have jobs and children and husbands and wives. Some of them have 13-year-old kids themselves. Kelly's parents have carried on despite the burden of awful memories. Robert Golub gets to wake up every morning, eat his food and sleep in a warm place at night. He has a tomorrow.
For Kelly, the clock and calendar stopped on Friday, March 3, 1989. Those of us who heard the details of the murder were changed forever. Middle-school life, preteen parties, after-school play dates never seemed the same again. All of us parents became more vigilant, more fearful, and a bit less confident in the goodness of the world.
Kelly Tinyes lives only in memory, and because of that, Robert Golub must remain in jail, where he belongs.

Please may I request to the QCAD community a script Add-On for a new tool
My request is for a Construction line tool (infinite lines).
I constantly use temporary construction/reference lines when drawing in QCAD. Usually I set up a dedicated layer for this whereby I will choose a specific layer colour (usually Cyan) and on this layer I will draw all of my 'working' construction lines using the line tools, this means that I have to continually pick and choose the line tool I need and place/set the lengths I need all the time!
I would like to see a specific dedicated tool in QCAD for doing this instead.
I would imagine the 'Construction' line tool to have Infinite lines and fields for typing in the angle required.
Many thanks and regards

WASHINGTON (WUSA9) -- Washington Redskins owner Dan Snyder has been quoted as saying he will never change the name of his football team.
But leaders of the Oneida Indian Nation are hoping others can convince him to change his mind, beginning with President Obama who said if it were his team, he would be thinking about it.
Native American leaders say the name is offensive and they brought their campaign to change the "Redskins" name to Washington, DC on Monday in hopes of getting a meeting, if not attention from the NFL owners who will be meeting here on Tuesday.
The press conference at the Ritz Carlton hotel in Georgetown packed as DC Congressional delegate Eleanor Holmes Norton compared the "R" word to the "N" word.
A spokesman for the NFL later confirmed to WUSA9 that a meeting with the Oneida Indian Nation had been set for November 22nd, but added that meeting will probably be held sooner.

See the top 20 most helpful scuba gear reviews
Average Customer Review: based on 5 reviews.Rating: Ocean Reef FFM
this mask, How is ear equalization?
Hello Muslum, Thank you for your inquiry! Clearing the Ocean Reef Neptune Space G.divers Full Face SCUBA Dive Mask is very easy. The FFM comes with 3 sets or "Nose Plugs", allowing you to find the proper fit to close (or seal),off your nostrils. To close off your nostrils to clear, the diver pushes up on the base of the FFM. When the plugs close off the nostrils, you then clear your ears as if you were pinching you nose using a regular mask. http://www.scuba.com/scuba-gear-124/029944/Ocean-Reef-Neptune-Space-G.divers-Full-Face-Scuba-Dive-Mask-with-Diver-Communication-Unit.html If you have any questions or wish to place an order, please call us at 1-800-247-2822.
Hi am am still trying to get my Scuba certification and I see that the mask starts at 900 and something dollars how much is it with tax or HST and how much would it cost for 2 because I dont like hand signals I prefer talking and for me I would like the other person and I to talk so is there any thing you can tell me
The best method of calculating rates would be to enter the order using our online shopping cart and use the Amazon Checkout method of checking out. Amazon will verify all billing and shipping information and display your shipping costs. Be advised these costs do not reflect any additional Duty or Tax imposed by your country due to importation of the equipment. Any extra fees over those displayed are the responsibility of the customer.
WIth this mask, can I breathe air with it without any air tanks?
You will need to add a surface air valve in order to breathe outside air without using the air from the tank. http://www.scuba.com/scuba-gear-167/028195/Ocean-Reef-G.Divers-Surface-Air-Valve-SAV-for-Full-Face-Masks.html
Hi, I have extreme difficulty clearing my ears. Most times I cant dive below 10ft. I have been very frustrated with this problem ever since I have started diving. Could this mask possibly help me with my equalization problems or is there no difference?
I am now in St Thomas and it is in Ontario and I would like to know is there a diving centre in St Thomas or close to St Thomas or should I stay with the one in London Ontario and the place is Cross Current Divers does anyone know what should I do because I really want to stay within scuba diving
Can you get a quick release hose for the full face G.Divers mask?
One last question. Up till what depth can the G- diver FFM be used?
Designed for recreational so 130ft. You might want to contact the manufacturer for more specs. http://www.oceanreefgroup.com/contact_us.html
Hi! I want buy this communication unit later, what price, mftg number and model it have? As I understand it is easy to mount it to FFM? Thanks
Hi Ilja Below is a link to the full fask mask with out communications. Also, yes it is easy to install communications units later. http://www.scuba.com/scuba-gear-124/029940/Ocean-Reef-Neptune-Space-G.divers-Full-Face-Scuba-Dive-Mask.html
Can the Ocean Reef communication system (on a diver) communicate with a on-surface ship (as well as other divers) as long as its within the 600 ft range? If so, how is this done? Through a VHF or similar device?
Hi Alyssa, Yes you can talk to divers from the surface. It requires the divers to have communication units and a surface unit. Communication is actually done though sound waves not radio transmissions. Link below is to a surface unit. http://www.scuba.com/scuba-gear-167/029486/Ocean-Reef-M-105-Digital-Dual-Channel-Transceiver-Surface-Unit.html
what equipment do I need to comunicate with my boat during diving?
Is there a way to narrate a dive to a GoPro or Intova camera? I have both cameras, do commercial work and would like to narrate on the video I record as I work
Hello Ted, no with this set-up there would be no way to link your GoPro to your communication unit underwater. Now if you had this: http://www.scuba.com/scuba-gear-167/031569/Ocean-Technology-Cdk-6-Surface-Accessory-Kit.html and a way to record your voice you could then edit the video with your voice in the background.
I wear glasses but can not wear contacts, how do i get a prescription lens set
Hello Andrew, you would need to buy the: http://www.scuba.com/scuba-gear-124/028083/Ocean-Reef-Optical-Lense-Support.html this would hold the lens that you would have your eye doctor install in this frame then you would be able to install this in your Ocean Reef mask.
hi! im new to this and dont have any idea how to use/connect to the tank. Can you explain? thanks. Im planning to buy 2 for me and my partner for ease of talking underwater. Can you recommend the best? i live in the Philippines, is there a warranty? thanks!
Hello Dianne, the unit you will want to get is the version with the underwater communication so you can talk to your buddy underwater. As for attaching this to your current 1st stage it is easy. It comes with the low pressure regulator hose that will connect to the 1st and 2nd stage unit. As for the warranty it comes with the manufacture full warranty.
My wife and I are really interested in getting the Space G. w/ comms but our question is about a back-up air source. How is that set up or is it an option? How would you set it up to buddy breath if needed? We will probably be adding the SAV valve for surface work so, Im not sure if that would prohibit a secondary air source, as well? Thanks in advance!
How many different comm channels can operate in same area?
Hello Peter, if you have this comm set-up you will only get one channel: http://www.scuba.com/scuba-gear-124/027201/Ocean-Reef-Underwater-Receiving-Unit-M-101a.html. If you have this version: http://www.scuba.com/scuba-gear-168/027690/Ocean-Reef-GSM-Dual-Channel-Communication-Unit.html you would be able to two different channels but both will work with each other.
What specific frequency does it transmit on? Can a receiver be used and connected to an amplifier?
Hi, I was wondering if the ocean reef neptune space G can be used in cold water or only warm water? and if the surface air valve since it is low, can water come in if there is lots of waves at the surface? Thanks!
I just purchased a Neptune Space mask without a 1st stage...The manual that comes with the mask shows a certain type of 1st stage showing it as the only type that can be used. Is this true or can I just use my current 1st stage I already own?
1. Explain what "Easily adaptable for a octopus regulator" in the add means. 2. Are prescription lens (bi-focal) available? If so, how are they ordered and at what cost?
I cant figure out if this comes with the surface air valve. It isnt listed in the item description but in the more about the product tab is states as follows. "The Neptune Space is equipped with a surface air valve that allows the diver to breathe ambient air while at the surface." So is the ambient air valve an extra cost item or is the mask "equipped" as it says in the product info? Also is the hose that connects the mask (second stage) to the tank regulator a quick connect and if not, is this available as an option?
Hello i like orde 2x bat the price today is 990.00 and yesterday 612.00 ? Thanks very much
I cannot dive because I have a perforated ear drum and cant get any water into my ears. Can I use this equipment to dive and keep water from coming in contact with my ears?
How does buddy breathing work with a FFM? If you ran out of air, youd have to take off the mask, right? And, do you have to carry a spare mask (or else be prepared to handle the situation w/o a mask)?
Hello Craig, yes if you were to run out of air and have to ditch the mask and breath on your buddies alt air source. Yes if you do not have a back-up mask to wear in that scenarios you will have to deal with it. That is why if you are serious about getting this mask I suggest taking the Ocean Reef full face mask specialty. That will teach you and give you the skills you will need to dive with that mask in all type of scenarios.
The OCEAN REEF Neptune Series provides a revolutionary take on the full face mask. They offer great visual fields, superior comfort, reliability, exceptional safety, durability, and they are easy to use! Whether you are a recreational, professional, or commercial diver, or just getting started in SCUBA, the OCEAN REEF Neptune Space series has a mask for you!
The Neptune Space G.divers with GSM G.divers Communication Unit includes everything you need to dive and speak with your buddy underwater.
Neptune Space G.divers Integrated Dive Mask (OR02501X):
The Neptune Space G.divers mask is available in two sizes and four colors (white, emerald, cobalt and pink) and includes an integrated, balanced 2nd stage regulator with a low-pressure hose. Designed for recreational diving, guiding and teaching, this high performance mask is ideal for both those looking to try full face mask diving for the first time as well as experienced divers looking for an exceptional value.
Ocean Reef's pneumatically balanced, integrated second stage regulator provides consistent ease of breath at any tank pressure. The inhalation adjustment knob allows divers to control their air delivery. The Neptune Space G.divers mask can also be equipped with an optional Surface Air Valve (SAV) that will allow divers to breathe ambient air while at the surface.
The patented bellows style face skirts, molded from premium grade silicone rubber, uses a 'spring profile' and large sealing surface to achieve a very comfortable fit and ample support. This spring effect is a combination of the double "S" section and the inner support ribs which allows the G.divers mask to 'float' comfortably on the face. The head strap is directly attached to the face shield, allowing pressure to be distributed equally along the mask skirt. The six straps of the head harness hold the mask in a firm position due to their low elasticity. The tip of each rubber strap is wide, making them easy to grasp while wearing gloves. The fast rotating buckle allows the mask to be donned and removed quickly, simply pull the quick release tabs on the bottom of the mask to remove. The unique face seal and strap concepts are Ocean Reef patents.
The streamlined visor, made of transparent polycarbonate and treated with a scratch resistant resin, is designed to be wider and sit closer to the face than previous full face masks, maximizing the visual field, especially in the peripheral area. The visible light transfer of the visor is 92%. These factors give divers and astonishingly clear view of the underwater world.
The Neptune Space G.divers air circulation system is one of a kind and is designed to eliminate fogging and reduce the amount of CO and CO2 buildup. The silicone orinasal pocket is built with two one-way valves through which air is inhaled. Exhaled air is directed through a valve under the orinasal pocket and out of the mask. This limits the mixing of used air with the fresh air coming in from the regulator.
Water that may seep into the mask is quickly eliminated through exhalation or pushing the purge valve button in the second stage. Mask squeeze cannot occur with the G.divers mask because the pressure inside the mask is always being equalized to the pressure outside.
Ear equalization is a breeze with the Neptune Space G.divers patented 3-D equalization system. The system consists of a moveable plate and 2 eccentric blocks, which may be moved up or down and in or out to adapt to a variety of nose shapes. Included are three pairs of extensions, allowing the distance between the blocks and the nose to be modified. Simply adjust the silicone blocks to sit right under the nose, then push back on the mask to block the nostrils on descent and equalize the ears.
The Ocean Reef G.divers mask can be outfitted with a variety of optional accessories. The Surface Air Valve (OR025020) saves tank air while at the surface. An optical lens support (33299) allows for vision correction. Visor lights (OR024502) can provide hands free illumination. An Extraflex Quick Connect hose (OR024998) allows you to easily remove the mask from the 1st stage regulator set up, and a swivel (33033) can provide freer movement. An octopus adaptor (33020/33021) can connect a conventional 2nd stage to the mask (in addition to the built in regulator). Also available is a high performance 1st stage with a balance diaphragm and anti-freeze kit (YOKE 9922/DIN 9923).
GSM G.divers Underwater Communication Unit (OR033109):
Underwater communication can make diving safer and more fun with the ability to talk back and forth with your buddy!
The GSM G.divers Unit is a wireless underwater communication system, allowing the diver to both talk and receive. The GSM unit is installed in the communication port, located on the left side of the mask.
The GSM G.divers allows a diver to communicate with others verbally, making diving more enjoyable and safer. Working through ultrasonic waves, the unit boasts the autonomy of approximately 30 hours in receiving mode, a range of operations of approximately 200 meters/600 feet, and a lightweight and sleek design. It is a powerful, single channel PTT (push to talk) underwater wireless communication unit.
The unit automatically activates upon contact with the water and uses a 9V alkaline battery. The battery is simple to install, and a 'low battery' alarm will beep every 30 seconds when battery is low.
The GSM G.divers uses a D-mic, a special microphone with the housing sealed in a hydrophobic membrane that is permeable to air, but prevents water from passing through to the electronics. The membrane's reduced thickness limits any reduction of the vocal signal. The permeability of the membrane keeps the internal pressure equalized with the external pressure, enabling the microphone to be used at practically any depth.
Each GSM G.divers comes with the NACS (Neptune Adjustable Communication Support Code: 33054). The patented NACS is an adjustable support arm for the GSM G.divers and other Ocean Reef underwater communication units. It can be installed on the left side of the mask and positions the communication unit comfortably by the ear without having it hanging from the mask strap. By relieving the weight of the communication unit, the NACS also allows the mask strap to slide easily through the buckle; thus the strap can stay loose while the mask is donned and the GSM stays out of the way. The NACS can be adjusted for tilt and distance between the communication unit and the visor.
The GSM G.divers communication unit is the perfect addition to your Ocean Reef Mask, increasing diver safety and fun. It can also be a great tool for instructors and divemasters, improving instruction and guided dives. The GSM G.divers Unit can be used with any Ocean Reef Integrated Dive Mask.

I was induced (and had an otherwise perfect, drug free birth) at 37w for pre-e. It was not the "oh, your BP is getting high, come back in a week and we will induce you" induction..it was an appt, that got me sent to L&D (not for BP, which was 120/60)..but for bloodwork...and they monitored me for a few hours, and wanted me to go home (CNM not induction happy) but did another round of bloodwork and it was even worse...it was chaotic after that, and within minutes I was hooked up to MagSulf and then after a serious discussion, that eventually resulted in me consenting to cytotec (I know, I know) but it seemed to be the best option for my situation and I felt okay with the decision....things progressed very slowly, but I was never dx'd as FTP, or anything like that...my CNM let me sit at 6cm for 9 hours without a lot of intervention, no pitting to distress, etc...she just kind of let my body roll..and things werent bad...
but although it was a "dream" induction, i'd LOVE to NOT be induced again...
I'm eating Brewer's pretty religiously, of course i have "bad" days, and so far have had no symptoms of pre-e...but are there are other tricks to prevent it?
I'm 24 weeks

Try the Blood Type Diet
Just thought I would update....on May 2, 2011 at 652AM we welcomed our little boy Hunter into the world..10 minutes after pulling in to the hospital parking lot! 54 hours of labor (but never hard labor!) was totally gratifying after my induction!!! The birth was perfect...he was born in to his daddy's hands and never left mommy's side the entire time we were in the hospital (about 28 hours)
His sister watched his birth (she was 6 days shy of 21m old) and she cheered mommy on with glee (yeah mommy! Baby baby baby!!) and he was born with a true knot in his cord. small tear for me, but no stitches :)
Congratulations to you and family, and welcome to the world, Hunter!!
All the best to you,
Founder/Organic Mommy & Baby Healthcare Solutions
Congratulations!! Wow! What a labor, huh?! SO happy for you. Enjoy your sweet babes!
Just an FYI: There is a growing body of research that shows that low blood volume and the resultant placental changes are the main culprits causing pre-eclampsia. Here's an example: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/8282605
The Brewer diet supports necessary blood volume expansion by providing sufficient calories, protein, and salt. This very well-balanced diet provides the other necessary nutrients to support a healthy pregnancy as well.
Anyway, WTG, Chelsea! You rock!
I second the Brewer Diet! With DD1, I had high BP and swelling...normal with a first pregnancy, but something that, had it gotten any worse, would've resulted in an induction. With DD2, I didn't have any swelling...a low amount of weight gain, actually, BP was fine throughout pregnancy, but they found elevated urine protein levels in my last few weeks. I did a 24 hour urine collection and my protein levels were low enough to not have an induction. With DD3 I was convinced that I didn't have to have these issues and I learned about the Brewer Diet and the physiology of it. I didn't follow it exactly, but I focused on increasing my daily protein intake. That alone made my blood pressure stay fairly low, no protein in my urine and no swelling. I even had less bleeding after delivery, and I attribute that to a greater protein intake.
My sil had a similar experience to yours, but she was at 33w. I think hers was an emergency c/s because her Pre-e was so severe. Her 2nd she had a year later, VBAC and a very healthy pregnancy and delivery. First pregnancies are just more prone to pre-e.
Great job on your first birth! I'm sure things will be different this time around!

|Nightingale Award has history in area
|Written by Chris Lee
The Nightingale Award is an honor given to registered nurses throughout the state of Colorado each year.
Gloria Heinitz of Holyoke recently attended the 25th Annual Centennial Nursing and Centennial Region Nightingale Awards dinner as one of 32 regional finalists for the award. Although she won't be one to move onto the state level and have a chance to win the Nightingale Award, she was honored to have been nominated as a regional finalist.
"I was appreciative of what did happen," Heinitz said. "It was really an honor. It is something you really appreciate."
The dinner was held Friday, March 12 in Loveland. Thirty-two registered nurses gathered for the event where six finalists were named to move onto the state selection committee and the chance to win the Nightingale Award.
There are six regions in Colorado. The Centennial Region covers much of Northeast Colorado and the front range. Regional finalists move to the state level and winners will be announced at the May 1 Nightingale Awards Dinner.
After being nominated, Heinitz had to draft an essay and find five people or organizations to write letters of support for her. She had two patients, a physician, human resources and a group of nurses each write a letter for her.
This was the second time Heinitz has been nominated for the award.
She stated in her letter, "The day I started in rural nursing care, I helped with a delivery of a baby, and within the week helped with a cardiac arrest (with me and one other nurse being the only working personnel in the building) and in the same week was told I better clean up the ER after a patient because no one else was going to do that job. That set the tone for the next 40 years. I really don't feel that there is any job that is beneath an RN to do, and I relate well to my team of nurses and nurse assistants, because I like helping them with their jobs."
She was quick to give praise to MMH Administrator John Ayoub, Director of Nursing Claudia Powell and Pat Notter for their efforts in the process.
"Claudia and Pat gave me a lot of support," Heinitz said. "They were really helpful."
Ayoub got the nomination process rolling. "I really appreciate what he did," Heinitz said. "It was overwhelming when I figured it out."
"I have been continually and consistently blown away by Gloria's tireless work, compassion and dedication to her patients and colleagues," Ayoub said in his letter. "She truly and effectively role models the very best behaviors of a genuine servant leader."
Heinitz began her career in Holyoke in 1970 as a staff nurse. She has been an administrative nurse off and on for 15 years and has held other nursing positions. She said her career has been somewhat of a hodgepodge of jobs, but staff nursing will always be her favorite.
"I like regular staff nursing, that's my love and I just as soon stay with that."
For the past 40 years, Heinitz has seen the field change and evolve. She said it has been fun seeing the changes and growth over her career.
Being involved within different aspects of the community and nursing organizations is something that is looked at during the Nightingale process.
Heinitz has been involved with the triathlon and strongly believes in exercise. She said she probably wouldn't be where she is today if she hadn't kept up with running and walking.
Winona Rouze wins Nightingale in 1987
Winona Rouze was named a finalist in March 1987 and was awarded the Nightingale Award a couple months later in May. She was one of four to receive the award in 1987. Rouze's accomplishment can be remembered by the sculpture displayed at Melissa Memorial Hospital.
As a result of being named one of the four winners of the Nightingale Award, she received a Nightingale sculpture, a letter from former First Lady Betty Ford and a check for $1,000.
Rouze was known for her caring attitude and instantly gave the money to the Melissa Memorial Hospital Auxiliary Scholarship Fund.
It was reported Rouze's original nomination form was different than the other 184 nominations. Hers was co-signed by 313 Holyoke community members who wanted to show their support for her.
"That's a rare honor to have someone from this area win it," Heinitz said with regard to Rouze winning the award.
In an article in the May 21, 1987 issue of the Enterprise, parts of her nomination letter were printed and said, "Practicing nursing for more than 50 years, Rouze has cared for a remarkable variety of patients, in capacities ranging from private duty to maternity home and hospital care.
"Rouze's tenderness and sensitivity to her community of neighbors and friends in Holyoke extend well beyond retirement. She maintains her nursing license, regularly upgrades her skills and is always on call."
Regent Park nurse recognized
Another local tie at the dinner comes in the form of Regent Park Charge Nurse Joni Taylor of Julesburg.
"It was a huge honor," Taylor said.
One of her supporters said, "In all my years in long term care, I have never seen a nurse with so much compassion and love for her residents. They all are literally her family."
Another said, "When Joni walks into a room, residents truly light up."
Taylor has been working at Regent Park for five years and loves her job. "It is a huge honor to work here."
"I love you, yes, I do, I love you." Those were the words of a friendly elderly man, singing to me as I nervously walked in to apply for my first nursing job," Taylor said in her essay. "Just out of nursing school, with nothing but fear written all over my face, this elderly man turned my face of fear into a loving smile."
Faye (Colglazier) Hummel named as a finalist
Faye (Colglazier) Hummel, the daughter of Marjorie Colglazier of Holyoke and the late Dale Colglazier, was named as one of the six finalists for the Nightingale Award at the Centennial Region awards dinner.
Hummel lives in Brighton with her husband Bruce and two daughters, April and Autumn. She is an associate professor in the School of Nursing at University of Northern Colorado in Greeley.
"I'm very honored to be recognized with 32 other nurses," Hummel said. "It's an extraordinary honor."
The Nightingale Awards for Excellence in Human Caring was founded in 1985 to honor nurses who best exemplify the philosophy and practice of Florence Nightingale, a 19th century nursing pioneer who epitomized the art of helping people toward their optimal health.
Registered nurses throughout the state are nominated in the fall of each year by solicitation from the Colorado Area Health Education Centers System (AHEC) and the Colorado Springs and Western Slope Nightingale Committees.
Fifteen finalists are selected by the regions and forwarded to the State Selection Committee, who determines the recipients.
The Colorado Nurses Foundation (CNF) is the organization planning the statewide event. The Colorado Springs Nightingale and Western Slope Nightingale are part of the CNF statewide planning committee. CNF is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization, dedicated to improving health care and nursing practice in Colorado. CNF is devoted to creating nursing excellence through the promotion of educational and scientific activities and community-based projects in Colorado.
Since 1999, CNF has awarded 244 scholarships totaling $313,750.

FAMILY AFFAIR FOR JOCKEY JAVIER MATIAS AT EmD,ALDO ZAMORA BOOKING MOUNTS FOR HIS POPIt's all in the family for jockey Javier Matias this season at Emerald Downs.
The jockey—known by his peers as Javier and by his fans as Matias—but for his 20-year-old agent Aldo Zamora, "Dad" will do just fine.
In horse racing, families working together have become so common that it's almost cliché, a young son carrying the book of his journeyman father, however, is not. It's not unheard of for a father to work as agent for his jockey son, i.e. Robbie and Dylan Davis, but the other way around might be a first.
Despite the interesting dynamics involved, Zamora is up to the challenge, and his hard work has begun to produce results.
Opening weekend, Matias rode two long shot winners and the 42-year-old jockey is scheduled to ride seven horses this weekend. One of those is multiple stakes winner Mike Man's Gold, whom Matias rides in the Saturday feature race. Another is Southern Solution—a five-time winner last year and candidate for the track's Top Claimer. Still, Zamora recognizes there's much work to be done.
"Once the meet gets really going, the business should start to open up a little bit more," he said. "Sometimes you get the horse, sometimes you lose the horse. You just have to keep after it. Fortunately, Dad is a good product for the horsemen. He's finished seventh here the last two seasons. "
Zamora must get his work ethic and tenacity from his dad, who recently surpassed Amir Cedeno for 14th all-time with 318 wins at Emerald Downs and who is widely considered one of the better stakes riders at the track. That will likely be a big selling point for Zamora as he and his father prepare for the 29-race stakes schedule that begins May 11 with the Hastings Handicap. That's a lot of pressure for an apprentice agent—even if his father is the one signing the checks.
"You'd think that it would be easier working for your Dad, but it's not," Zamora said. "I just don't want to let him down. I have to try as hard as I can."
So far that mantra has worked well, as Zamora has beaten a path traversing the stables while seeking out trainers as early as 5 a.m. A proud papa, Matias is impressed with his son's progression as an agent.
"Now he's beating me to the racetrack in the morning," Matias said. "He was pretty quiet a few years ago, but nowadays he talks to everybody. He's smart and he knows all the horses. I'm just happy he gives me first call."
Owned by Sharon Radke of Port Angeles, Polish Dollar is 13-for-35 with earnings of $109,827. Last year, the gelding was 3-2-2 in seven starts, notching six furlong wins in 1:08.09 and 1:08.70, and a 6 ½-furlong victory in 1:14.69.
"He's a wonderful horse, and he looks wonderful too," said Polish Dollar's veteran trainer, Bob Meeking. "He just gleams with health."
Meeking, however, said Polish Dollar was too sharp in his early workouts this year, including bullet drills of :33 1/5 for three furlongs and :46 1/5 for a half-mile.
"He inverted his training schedule by going too fast early," Meeking said. "We had to change things around, he's doing very well now."
Polish Dollar needs to bring his A-race Saturday, since the field features several tough sprinters including Fist Full of Green, an improving 5-year-old that defeated odds-on Camp Granada opening weekend, I Keep Saying, a 5-year-old that finished first in four straight sprints here last year, triple stakes winner Mike Man's Gold and 2013 Longacres Mile sixth-place finisher Why Not Be Perfect.
The field for Saturday's $17,950 feature race (from the rail, out): Fist Full of Green, Eliska Kubinova, 124 lbs; I Keep Saying, Juan Gutierrez, 120; Somewhere With You, Jorge Rosales, 120; King of the Sky*, Gallyn Mitchell, 116; Polish Dollar, Felipe Valdez, 120; Mike Man's Gold, Javier Matias, 120; Why Not Be Perfect, Anne Sanguinetti, 120. *Re-entered Sunday.
It's rematch time Sunday in the $17,950 feature race for $32,000/$25,000 claiming fillies and mares at six furlongs.
River of Aces, Stephanie Plum and Tabled With Gold—first, second and third in a similar race two weeks ago—square off again in Sunday's ninth race.
A 5-year-old Washington-bred mare by Sam's Ace, River of Aces is 6-1-1 in 13 career starts for trainer Charles Essex, and she's nearly unbeatable when she makes the early lead—a scenario that seems likely again Sunday.
Stephanie Plum, 5-4-2 in 16 lifetime starts, won four races last season and is a formidable competitor for veteran trainer H.R. Pat Mullens. In the April 12 race, she pressed River of Aces from flag fall to finish, but came up a half-length short as River of Aces ran 5 ½ furlongs in 1:03.32. Perhaps an extra half-furlong will help Stephanie Plum.
Trainer Roy Lumm is off to a great start, compiling a 2-1-1 record with his first five starters including a third by Tabled With Gold, who finished a head back of Stephanie Plum on opening day. The 4-year-old California-bred has never run a bad race, posting a 2-2-2 record in six starts topped by a head victory over 11-time winner Champali Lace in the $12,000 Hit a Star starter allowance last September.
Perfect Pie is 8-9-6 in 32 starts at Emerald Downs and the 7-year-old beat River of Aces at this same condition last July. Lasting Rose is a talented 4-year-old that defeated older fillies and mares last year in a one-mile race. Smokin' Grey is a 5-year-old trained by Frank Lucarelli with a 3-0-0 record in four starts at six furlongs. Miss Communication, a new shooter for trainer Jeff Metz, is a 6-year-old with five wins and over $119,000 in earnings, but appears to favor races around two turns.
The field for Sunday's $17,950 feature race (from the rail, out): Lasting Rose, Anne Sanguinetti, 115 lbs; Tabled With Gold, Gallyn Mitchell, 115; River of Aces, Eliska Kubinova, 119; Perfect Pie, Jennifer Whitaker, 115; Stephanie Plum, Leonel Camacho-Flores, 115; Miss Communication, Rocco Bowen, 119; Smokin' Grey, Leslie Mawing, 119.
NOTES: Weekly honors: Trainer-Frank Lucarelli (10-5-2-2); Jockey-Leslie Mawing (9-4-0-5); Owner-W. Quinn Chin (3-1-1-1); Groom-Mauro Avila (trainer Robbie Baze); Washington-bred-Stikine Slough (Bar C Racing Stables Inc). . .Scat Daddybaby earned a career-high 84 Beyer for last Sunday's $21,625 allowance victory in 1:08.20 for six furlongs. . .Mebossman, runner-up to Del Rio Harbor in the 2013 Gottstein Futurity, is among nine 3-year-olds and up entered in Sunday's maiden special weight with a $17,850 purse. Royal Tale, second to Prayer for Da Bric opening weekend, and Calculated Chaos, fifth in the 2012 Barretts Juvenile, also are entered in the 5 ½-furlong dash. . .Southern Solution, one of only two horses to win five races at Emerald Downs in 2013, makes his 2014 debut for trainer Roy Lumm in Sunday's eighth race for $15,000 older claimers. . .Trainer Jeff Metz has plenty of action again this weekend with 10 horses entered Saturday—including multiple entrants in races 4, 5 and 9—and four entered Sunday. Through four days of racing, Metz is 10-5-2 in 21 starts and Lucarelli is 8-2-5 in 17 starts. . .Rocco Bowen, who had one riding triple last year, already has three this season and leads Isaias Enriquez 10-7 atop the jockeys' standings. . .Make Some Noise, the first foal out of Emerald Downs' stakes winner Kissntheboysgoodby, debuts in Saturday's ninth race for $7,500 maiden claiming 3-year-old fillies. . .Santa Anita Park opens its new spring/summer meet Friday with a special 3 p.m. post time. The opener, a $56,000 purse for 2-year-old fillies at 4 ½ furlongs, is Southern California's first juvenile race of 2014. . .Saturday is a big day for trainer Blaine Wright. At Santa Anita, Wright sends out Peter Redekops's talented Alert Bay in the $250,000 Snow Chief Stakes for California-bred 3-year-olds at 1 1/8-miles on turf. A City Zip gelding, Alert Bay is 3-3-0 in six starts with earnings of $187,800. At Golden Gate Fields, Wright entered Chappell Alpine Farms' Hudson Landing in the $100,000 San Francisco Mile (G3) on turf. Wright said he would be at Santa Anita, where Alert Bay faces seven foes including the multiple stakes-winning Tamarando. . .The Tim McCanna-trained Pepnic also runs in the San Francisco Mile, as does 2013 Longacres Mile nominee Summer Hit. . .Saturday is opening day at Churchill Downs with the $150,000 Derby Trial, a one-turn mile, serving as the traditional opening day feature race. Bob Baffert entered both Bayern and Chitu in the Grade 3 event. . . Chicks Special Angel, fourth at 3-to-5 in the $60,000 Bank of America Emerald Championship Challenge Stakes last year, notched an easy one-length victory in Sunday's $1,800 Stakes Trial for older fillies and mares at Sun Downs. . .Hastings Racecourse celebrates opening day of its 51-day meeting Sunday with an eight-race card at 1:50 p.m. A stakes double-header kicks things off with the $50,000 George Royal for 3-year-olds and up at 6 ½ furlongs and the $50,000 Brighouse Belles for older fillies and mares at 6 ½ furlongs.

Jeannie probably didn't mean that as a challenge, but I took it as one. It became my goal to use all of her Peeled Paint Art Beads in the piece. With the exception of six polymer clay beads (set aside for earrings that I'll make later on), I'm proud to say I used all of Jeannie's beads in my Bead Soup Necklace!
The key to combining the black and white polymer beads was emphasizing what they have in common: the copper leaf. My eyes picked out shades of green and orange in the copper leaf, and Swarovski Elements Crystal Round 4mm beads in lime and Indian red are perfect representations of those colors.
One side of the necklace is made with White Quartz Soft Flex Beading Wire, opaque white size 11 seed beads, and the black polymer clay beads. Wire-wrapped dangles with white seed beads and both crystal colors bridge the gap between the white beading wire and the bracelet bar (used as part of the necklace's focal point. The other side of the necklace is the opposite, with Black Onyx Soft Flex Beading Wire, opaque black size 11 seed beads, and the white polymer clay beads. I love how the combination of black and white on both sides of the necklace seem to trick the eye - it takes awhile to realize how the two strung sections differ.
Antique Copper Soft Flex Craft Wire in 22-gauge is the only other material I added to the mix. It's a color that falls somewhere between the bright copper of the Peeled Paint Art Beads and the darker copper/bronze of the chain, clasp, and focal piece. By using it along with a combination of all four bead colors front and center of the necklace, it brings all elements of the piece together. The resulting necklace looks like it definitely knows how to party!
Thank you so much for taking the time to celebrate with me! To keep the party going, please visit the Bead Soup Blog Party page at Pretty Things for a complete list of participants. Enjoy!!

Yes you do.
A group of us drew Region Y for Wyoming deer. Do we have to buy a conservation stamp?
Yes you do.
Each hunter needs one Conservation Stamp that must be carried in the field with your appropriate licenses for what you're hunting. Go into your account on the G&F website and you can buy it online and print it out right at home. I just downsize mine on my printer so it's big enough to be readable, instead of an 8"x11" paper, and it also must be signed before going afield just like the main part of your hunting license. DO NOT sign the kill tag until you down an animal and then do that and notch out the correct information on the edges for the date, etc.
You can buy it at any DFG regional office too.
You can also pick one up at any retailer that sell licenses, eg. Walmart, sporting goods stores.
It did, I used to work at a gas station. We sold them. That was 10 years ago though.
Yes, everyone, resident or non-resident, if you hunt or fish in Wyoming you must have one.
When I access the link "Purchase your Conservation Stamp" I login with my ID and there is no link. Everythign is all greyed out. Is there a way to tell if I already purchased one? I may have done so when we applied for the draw waaaaay back.

31 is an excellent choice. Probably the best in the state for a fun hunt, lots of elk and the opportunity for a good bull. Long draw odds though. You could be chasing that tag another 10-15 years.
There are always trade-offs, the main ones being, success, draw odds, private land issues, trophy quality, terrain, grizzlies. It really comes down to which you are most willing to compromise on and which you are not.

Black Diamond Offset Micro Stoppers Review
$14.95 each, $87.95 set | 5 Stars
These tiny nuts are a compound of copper and iron machined to offset wedges and swaged with a patented technology that Black Diamond claims is strong, flexible and not prone to fraying. These are the next-generation RP. After a few trips up The Health Issue, a new granite 5.11 close to the office, I was impressed by the nuts' durability. Alloys usually dent and scratch pretty quickly, but the Micro Stoppers held up to some yanking, though (thankfully) no falls.
I really like the shape of the offset, which BD touts as optimized for pin scars. I found two natural seams on the route where the offset shape fit when a regular tapered steel nut didn't.
- Copper/iron alloy in offset design provides excellent bite and strength.
- Sizes 1 and 2 are for direct aid only.
- Rated strengths (pounds): Size #1 - 440; 2 ± 660; 3 - 1,100; 4 - 1,320; 5 - 1,320; 6 - 1,760

So good and the kids loved it!!...I used a different cut of meat and a bit dressing and was still awesome
Although, I would try something different...I would only use fresh veggies, and add some onion to it as well. In addition, my suggestion is to NOT begin the cooking process of the meat and veggies w/sauces until way after you started cooking the rice, almost at the end of that process. Also, this recipe needs a little kick to it... not sure what exactly, but it was somewhat bland. Just my opinion, and the opinion of my family too.

Development is improving city
Now that developers Bonacio and Witt have done such a fabulous job bringing homes, condos and movie theaters, perhaps they can help us get a good commute to New York City. It would be great to have a bus go directly into Manhattan without stopping and changing buses in Albany. A motorcoach chartered one time a week Wednesday or Thursday from 7 a.m. returning to Saratoga at 9 p.m. would make living in Saratoga heaven. All who support this, please help. Thank you.
Pay your taxes and get social programs
Europe is in trouble because of its cradle to grave social programs, but what causes the trouble is people not paying their taxes. Actually, the prevailing culture is to evade as much as you can, and lobby for lower taxes. Sound familiar? But if you look at it realistically, when you work for an employer, it's not expected you'll do so for nothing; you expect to be paid for your services. It's the same with the government. You receive services and pay for them through taxes.

Born Lloyd Vernet Bridges III on Dec. 9, 1941 in Hollywood, CA, he earned his lifelong nickname as a child, after the fictional son of Ashley Wilkes' in "Gone with the Wind" (1939). After a hopeful career in pro basketball failed to pan out, Bridges returned to acting in his early twenties. In the early 1960s, he appeared in a number of TV shows, including his father's syndicated undersea adventure series "Sea Hunt" (1958- 1961). Seeking to forge his own identity separate from his famous father, however, Bridges began going after more serious, adult-oriented fare toward the end of the decade.

Cy's House of Trivia Another Huge Success
AMES, Iowa- The Iowa State Athletics Department's sixth annual Cy's House of Trivia event took place in Hilton Coliseum over the weekend. And judging by the attendance and excitement in the air, it was another enormous success.
For the second year in a row the event was sold out, as 88 teams participated. Since its inception in 2007, when 28 teams signed up, Cy's House of Trivia has grown into the Cyclone social event of the year.
"We are pleased to have another successful event with such great support from Cyclone fans," said Director of Special Events/Letterwinners Club Lindsey Long . "We are fortunate to have so many coaches, former student-athletes, and local personalities rally behind this event by serving as celebrities. This is more of a "friend-raiser" than a fundraiser and we have a great team who pulls everything together."
Iowa State celebrities that rotated among the tables to help participants answer questions included Iowa State athletics director Jamie Pollard, football coach Paul Rhoads, men's basketball coach Fred Hoiberg and women's basketball coach Bill Fennelly. Other celebrities included former basketball player Julius Michalik, All-Big 12 First-Team linebacker Jesse Smith, track & field All-American Randy Thompson and wrestling All-Americans Jim and Jeff Gibbons. ISU men's hoops stars Royce White and Scott Christopherson also helped out.
Tables of eight players answered eight rounds of questions - 10 questions in each round- to see who could get the most answers correct. This year's categories included: University/College Mascots; Game Shows; Let's Hear it For The Band; The Agony of Defeat; Mind your P's and Q's; The Amazing Race; Math, Math I Hate Math; Social Media.
WHO-TV personalities Keith Murphy and Andy Fales emceed the event once again. Murphy and Fales co-host the award-winning Sports SoundOff show Sunday nights on WHO and have their own daily sports radio talk show (Murph and Andy) on 1460 KXNO.
The top-three finishers were awarded prizes which included football tickets, 2012 football tailgate tent and men's/women's basketball tickets and pre-game parties. Raffle prizes were also given away throughout the evening, including a trip for two with the football team to a 2012 road game.

" It's a abandoned temple on a desert island. Surrounded by thick jungles and taken over by a vile serpent cult. It is a promise of untold riches and even greater danger. But, more than that, it is the husky, insistent whisper of adventure, falling in the ear of would be heroes... "
This series of maps represent an underground temple. It is on two levels, with the lower level connected to a natural pond in which the serpentine monstrosities lay their evil brood...
This project was a bit different than most I have been posting here, as it started not from a need in my personal campaign, but from another poster, NathanC that produced the original layout.
My job, therefore, was mainly to prettify his work and I tried my best to stick to his design.
The map was constructed in GIMP, both the top and lower floor actually belong to the same file. It confuses things a bit, the number of layer being doubled, but that way, I could have the lower floor show up through the top one...
The furniture, as usual, came from the Dundjinni forums (our own beloved Bogie was of great help there and linked to many really cool items that are sure that make re-appearances in future maps of mine). As for the placement of said furniture, I also followed Nathan's design, placing them in accordance to the room's function, as labelled on the map.
I also want to thanks, again, Jacktannery for all his precious advices.

Frederick Pritchett was sentenced Wednesday for his role in a 2011 armed robbery and kidnapping.
Pritchett, 18, received 30 years for armed robbery, 15 years for kidnapping and 10 years for motor vehicle theft. The sentences will run consecutively for a total of 55 years in prison.
Pritchett was convicted by a jury of armed robbery and kidnapping of an employee from Cash King off Old Highway 45 North in October of last year.
"The armed robbery, he has to serve at least 10 years, and then the rest of that would be 85 percent. The kidnapping is a crime of violence, so that one would be 85 percent," said District Attorney Bilbo Mitchell. "The only one he would be eligible for substantial early release would be the motor vehicle theft."
Mitchell estimates Pritchett will serve at least 40 years before he is eligible for parole.
