From the Volta Basin to the Rhine
17 June 2008 | News story
Professor Amidou Garané, from the University of Ouagadougou (Burkina Faso), is visiting the ELC this month to work on international rivers governance related to the Volta Basin.
The Volta Basin is one of the biggest shared basins in West Africa. After a long process, a Convention on Volta Basin organization was adopted in 2007. The establishment of this legal and institutional framework could contribute to reducing conflicts and the risk of conflicts between the basin states and help to promote peace in West Africa.
Prof. Garané has authored many publications in different areas of environmental law. His field of interest is the national and international dimensions of environmental law. In particular, he works on international waters.

"When you fly out to the ice sheet in a helicopter, at first you see where the glacier meets the sea," said WHOI photographer Chris Linder, in a dispatch on the Polar Discovery Web site. "Next you see these deep crevasses. Then they disappear, and the ice becomes smooth. Finally, lakes appear on the ice sheet. These tiny blue jewels dot all the whiteness. And that's where we landed. Right by one of those jewels."

WHOI glaciologist Sarah Das (orange jacket) is sometimes asked: "Do we need to worry about Greenland's ice sheet melting?" She responds this way: "It seems now unequivocally clear that our climate is warming, and it's largely induced by human activity. So in the sense that we as a society have to worry about increasing rates of sea-level rise, I think we absolutely do."
WHOI glaciologist Sarah Das (on ladder) checks a temperature sensor left for a year on an instrument tower to capture long-term, daily measurements. High platforms keep the scientists' instruments off the Greenland ice sheet, which melts at a rate of 5 feet per year.
In fog near the edge of a glacial lake, scientists Sarah Das, Mark Behn, Ian Joughin, and Kristin Poinar (from left) listen to thunderous booms caused by a large crack forming in the bottom of a lake atop the Greenland ice sheet.

Askren offers takedown challenge to GSP, White
Askren's blunt critiques on Twitter have prompted a swarm of responses from St-Pierre fans. Few are complimentary, but the 28-year-old laughs it off.
"I don't event read them," he said. "I scroll though them. But I've got so much harassment from GSP supporters this past week that it's hilarious."
Askren even issued a challenge to UFC President Dana White. He said at the next UFC Fan Expo, he wants to wrestle St-Pierre for $1,000 per takedown. He was even willing to give White, a known gambler, 3-to-1 odds. He got no response. ("Maybe I'll make him another offer – 5-to-1. Maybe he'll think that's fair," Askren joked.)
"I think obviously if we fought, I'd create scrambles I'd win," he said. "And the other thing we saw – and I know (trainer) Firas Zahabi is making excuses – he got tired. He got really tired in the third, fourth and fifth round against Nick Diaz. But Diaz just doesn't have the power to put GSP on his butt or put pressure on him.
"Nick Diaz just didn't have the skill set he needed to beat him. I do"

Hello everyone!
I'm an information systems guru with moderate linux (FC2) experience. I'm not so well versed in linux mail systems so I apologize in advance if this question seems a little simple.
I currently have my own mail server setup using fetchmail to retrieve mail from all my pop3 accounts (I have about 17 accounts on various services, all having specific purposes). I use sendmail as my mta and log into the server to retrieve my mail.
I am interested in migrating to FC3 and Zimbra. I have a few small requirements and I want to make sure this can be done before I go and screw up my mail system.
I need to be able to continue to retrieve my pop3 email from multiple accounts and collect them into one account on the system. Will I be able to use Zimbra with the ONE account and still use fetchmail to collect my pop3 mail?
Second, I use domain masquerading. My server is xyz.dyndns.org masquerading as www.xyz.com (fake domains, but I own the .com domain). Will I still be about to masqueade using Zimbra? In other words, although xyz.dyndns.org is my server, I need mail sent out to appear to come from xyz.com).
Thanks in advance for any information you can provide!

Time marches on and the Emerald season wraps up its 17th summer meet – yes, there was that once off winter meet in 1996 – with a strong sense of gratitude to its growing base of loyal fans. Loyalty may well be the key word to the success of our industry in the northwest that has had to weather the storms of national economic decline, regional isolation, reduced field size and ongoing competition from gaming.Despite these concerns, the show must go on and it did with many memorable moments. Here are my top 10, what are yours?1. Magnificent MARIO: Not only did Mario Gutierrez win the Kentucky Derby and Preakness Stakes in his first attempt with I'll Have Another, he did exactly the same thing on Taylor Said in the Longacres Mile in a stirring stretch duel. His autograph sessions with fans reflected his modesty and humility, character traits that are not a given with celebrity jockeys. Chances are, his upbringing and his northwest foundation had much to do with it and it was great to see the team that has supported him in Glenn Todd, Troy Taylor and Mike Puhich take center stage on Mile Day.
2. The hunger for MUNGER - The green and white silks of owner, trainer and breeder Don Munger had graced the winners circle a record 19 times at the time of this blog. At age 88 – the lucky Chinese number – this veteran put up numbers like never before. His stable proved the worth of stallion Nacheezmo with the most promising of his off-spring Roveing Patrol, the 8-1/2 length winner of the Diane Kem Stakes on WA Cup day, sold to Kentucky Derby winning owner, Paul Reddam. A shoe-in for seasonal honors in training achievement, Don is a fine example that age is no barrier to success.
3. What a FINALE! - Not since Flying Notes 11-1/4 length 2002 Emerald Derby drubbing, has a 3-Y-O trounced a field on the Auburn oval in the manner in which Makors Finale disposed of his state-bred rivals in the Chinook Pass Stakes. His staggering 15 length margin was breathtaking earning him a fourth stakes victory in his division and numerous votes for Horse of the Meet. Owner Karl Krieg is rightfully smitten by the horse's power and performance, already ear-marking next year's Longacres Mile as the target. This current Derby winner is a strapping individual that looks well and truly up to the task.
4. JAVIER stakes his claim - As if the assertive rides by Javier Matias on Winning Machine in the Governors and Seattle Handicaps were not enough to prove that lightning really can strike twice. His emphatic dying strides fight-back wins on Champagneandcaviar in the Kent Handicap and WA Oaks as well as those on Mike Man's Gold in the Premio Esmeralda and the WTBOA Lads proved that Javier had come of age, confident, daring and the leader of the pack with seven stakes victories coming into closing weekend. Arguably, one of his best rides came in the Longacres Mile as Winning Machine almost clawed his way back to level terms, superb in defeat.
5. It's KUBINOVA time! - The early trend of long shot plays coming home under apprentice rider Eliska Kubinova soon became an established pattern throughout the season. Eliska won 74 thoroughbred races and comfortably surpassed the previous record number of wins by an apprentice rider in an Emerald Downs meet set at 70 by Cassie Papineau in 2009. Her ability to get run out of lower claiming horses that had been inconsistent appeared to reflect her sit and wait tactics, saving a little for the end where possible. Her Czech roots added a welcome international dimension to our jockey colony, once again illustrating how fertile a region the northwest is in developing talented female riders.
6. Number "JUAN". - At no stage of the 2012 season did Juan Gutierrez falter on his march toward his first Emerald Downs riding title. The two times Longacres Mile winner came under a little pressure mid-season from defending champion Leslie Mawing but quickly opened a widening gap back up over his competitors and never looked back with over 110 winners and counting. Juan has always been the quiet achiever. His command of the Emerald oval makes him a reliable choice with top barns such as Tom Wenzel and Jim Penney and he delivered for them, especially on Class Included, the queen of the older fillies division, adding three more stakes victories. His polish both on and off the track made him a most deserved title holder. Juan really is number one!
7. Tom 'PAX' them in! - This season more than most, the predominantly black classic silks of Jerre Paxton's Northwest Farms signaled quality whenever they appeared. Under the precise care of trainer Tom Wenzel, rapidly becoming the elite barn on the grounds, it was a delight to see horses with a touch of brilliance. Youngsters Stopshoppingdebbie, Goin to the Window, Blueberry Smoothie and Finallygotabentley each flashed great potential. At three years of age, Exclusive Diva tore through the first two stakes in her division, giving up grudgingly when game runner-up on the stretch outs in the latter two. Several Northwest Farms horses would hold their own on larger circuits and we are lucky to have them all race here.8. LUC-warm? Hardly. - It really is a testament to Frank Lucarelli that it was somehow just assumed that he would have another great season. The defending champion has led the trainer standings from the start and holds a three win advantage over 10 times champion Tim McCanna, coming into the final three days. One of the keys to securing a title is eking multiple wins out of your runners and Frank has managed to do that, with Hard Slider, a good example. His influx of Golden Gate shippers added to the spread across the classes, another important ingredient in maintaining a live barn to the end.
9. Nothing like a good KNAPP! - Another veteran trainer who held great stats all meet was Neil Knapp. With 23 wins on the board entering closing weekend and a 50% in the money strike rate, Neil proved especially effective on the sprint-to-route angle, successfully stretching his sprint winners at the first time of asking going long. In the process, handicappers were offered great value on his horses. Valid Vixen Queen landed him a restricted stakes victory and his barn helped Leslie Mawing to a memorable 2000 win milestone via Grand Baylee.10. Who's the MAN that holds court? - Ten year-old Wasserman adding a 12th Emerald Downs win on August 10th may well have been his racing highlight for the season yet for fans it was his appearance at the end of that month in the paddock at the Emerald AM morning workout show. Owner/trainer Howard Belvoir was gracious in making the offer to the track to have his aging star available to adoring fans but few could have envisioned that that morning, they would get a chance to get a leg up on the 2008 Longacres Mile winner himself. Wasserman held center stage for a good half hour and it is a testament to his team that includes Jennifer Whitaker and Vicki Potter that he has such an endearing disposition. The morning show was reminiscent of the West Seattle Boy retirement ceremony in which Emerald's winningest horse made a similarly grand AM appearance thanks to his dedicated connections. Now it's your turn?

Great work, I think the mountains came out amazing!
Hey guys,
Here's my last map, the Sultanate of Sharessan, a personnal project done with Photoshop. My main goal was to create a fantasy map in an arabic/middle east ambience.
I also wanted to experiment some new kind of work and used some shaded relief art made by the CIA between 60's and 90's (then donated to the Library of Congress) for the mountains. I mixed some of them a bit, playing with several layers and different blending modes and with color/saturation/vibrance adjustments on each of the layers on my background to obtain the kind of color/feeling I wanted to get.
I've made the nomadic tribes shields in PS, being inspired by the Tuareg/Niger crosses that I like much.
WIP thread is here. Thanks to all of those who supported and gave handy advices during the process. (Unfortunately, first WIP thread was made during the server issues so the first steps are missing due to the rollback).
Original map is 7931x5551 px, uploaded one is 50% size (hence rivers labels aren't very legible)
Comments are welcome, I hope you'll like it!
Feel free to rate, rep or run away
Great work, I think the mountains came out amazing!
nice cartouche, though the background looks a bit too obviously-digital (not that that's a complaint). also, the area keys could do with being a bit starker against the map -a s they are they're quite difficult to make out at a distance, partiuclarly the capital. took me ages to find (could just be me though...)
very very nice map, and in a style we dont normally see here, which makes it all the better. I'd love to see something like this covering a larger area, like a continent, with varied terrain (would be nice what you can come up with for forests to match the style of this map). I was thinking of doing a historical regional map for a region of my world that fits in with this flavour and might try something with a similar border - imitation is the best form of flattery after all
EDIT: sorry, cant give you any rep quite yep... youre just too good!

Thanks This one was kind of an experiment with the shaded relief and I'll probably give it another shot on a larger area one of these days.
A real beauty. I especially love the compass-rose.
I can't rep you atm, so have a "like" instead
I'm trapped in Darkness,
Still I reach out for the Stars
The relief shading is beautiful, the color scheme is as well, you've done a great job on the labels and I really like the tribal shields too. To sum up, fantastic job! You seem to be producing fine work at a speed which outpaces my ability to rep you .
Like everyone else I have to spread some love first before I can rep you, but its there in spirit.
The only thing I can say about this map is... magnificent. This one deserves a Featured Map Scroll in my opinion.
I said in your WIP what i liked in your map, usualy desert looks out of some details, giving a impression of empty, But this one, looks full of details ( tnx to the nice mountains and the highlights in the reliefs).
Need to undestand how you always find a way to show that amount of water!!!
Congratz brow!
Thanks guys, comments much appreciated, I'm glad you liked it! And don't worry about the rep, hopefully you'll spread me some on the next map I promise I'll wait a few days before posting another one

I really love this colour palette. The font and symbols also work very well with the map. Beautiful !

Hello, we are looking at Zimbra as a replacement for some of our customers.
We usally supply Ensim servers which use SpamAs and MailScanner.
In our tests so far, we've found that the Zimbra is not Tagging Spam as we would expect. We've tried putting the Kill % to 0 and Tag to 10 %
Would this Kill all spam, as it's 0% and Higher or would a Kill % of 0 disable this option? What we are trying to do is monitor how much individual spams are tagged.
In future it'd be great to have spam settings for each user, not a system wide setting.
We are now testing with kill % at 100 and tag at 20%. I think from the documentation that this configuration will tag messages the server is 20% sure is spam and kill anything that is 100% deff spam. Correct?
Any more detailed explination of this Percentage Option would be appreciated.
Thanks for a great Open Source tool !

CAMBRIDGE, Ohio (AP) — Law enforcement officers who have evidence to submit to the state's crime lab now have a new drop-off point in eastern Ohio.
Attorney General Mike DeWine says the state has opened a new regional office for the Bureau of Criminal Investigation in Cambridge.
The building also will accommodate agents investigating crimes in the area.
The office will be open every other Wednesday for evidence receiving, and agents will also provide onsite polygraph testing for investigators by appointment.
The Bureau of Criminal Investigation's headquarters is in London. Other lab offices are in Richfield, Athens, Bowling Green, and Youngstown.
Improving the crime lab and the time it takes to process evidence has been a priority for DeWine since taking office in 2011.

The staff here is AMAZING!! Close to train and shopping. This hotel is so close to NYC and other shopping areas. I really enjoyed my stay and the staff is so attentive and friendly. Kirsh, Samantha, Jackie, Mannie, the housekeeping and whoever I missed, I am so appreciative for their personal attention, they really made my 6 month stay Home away from Home. This means a lot when you travel 90% for work.

A lasting legacy for philanthropist
Thanks to the $3.5 million gift his charitable trust just bestowed upon the Ronald McDonald House Charities of San Diego, the name of the late philanthropist Joseph Clayes III appears on the wall of the spacious Ronald McDonald House community room.
And thanks to the efforts of Clayes' niece, Trulette, his spirit is in every corner of the building.
With its guest suites, kitchen, laundry facilities and on-site school, the local Ronald McDonald House provides refuge and support for families whose critically ill or injured children are being treated at local hospitals. Joseph Clayes' endowment — the largest gift in the local charity's history — will help ensure that this state-of-the-art oasis keeps thriving.
The money is big, but under the guidance of Trulette Clayes and co-trustee Brendan Holmes, the giving is personal.
"I always try to select something that he had an interest in," said Clayes, 52, who is the co-trustee of her uncle's estate and his charitable trust. "Education was important and the arts were important. Helping children is a strong part of our mission, and I think he would be very proud that we are helping families who are going through a trying time."
Born and raised in Anaheim, Joseph Clayes made his fortune in financial and real-estate investing and avocado growing. He loved theater, opera and his avocado farm in Bonsall. He surfed, collected pianos and exotic cars, and doted on Toby, his spoiled golden retriever.
Clayes was also a frugal man who prepared tax returns for a select group of friends. And when he died in 2007 after a long illness, he left a 10,000-square-foot house in San Francisco, a Palm Springs estate that used to belong to movie mogul Darryl Zanuck, and the money he entrusted his like-minded niece to help give away.
"One thing Uncle Joe and I had in common was accounting and finance," said Clayes, who majored in accounting at the University of San Diego and is currently the controller for the Museum of Contemporary of Art San Diego. "He and I just got along, and he knew that I could take care of things and take his wishes into consideration when making these decisions. He was always proud that I had taken this direction in my life."
For Trulette Clayes, the road was not a straight shot. In 1980, she fell asleep at the wheel while driving down from Los Angeles and crashed on a dark stretch of highway near Camp Pendleton. A severe spinal injury kept her in a body cast for six months, and for a while, no one was sure if she would be able to walk again.
She spent the next few years working as a manicurist in the Hotel del Coronado salon run by her mother, Sherryl. Trulette's regular clients included the late Hotel del Coronado owner M. Larry Lawrence and his third wife, Jeanne. In addition to pushing her to go to college, Larry Lawrence gave Clayes her first lessons in philanthropy.
"Before that, I don't think I had any idea about giving back," Clayes said over tea in the Ronald McDonald House's chapel. "'If you have, you should give.' I'm sure those words came out of his mouth."
Clayes' first act as co-trustee — a job she shares with Holmes, a longtime family friend — came in 2008. It was a $5 million gift to Cal State Fullerton, her uncle's alma mater. Last year, the trust made a $500,000 donation to the Athenaeum Music and Arts Library in La Jolla. Like Cal State Fullerton's performing arts center, the Athenaeum's main gallery is now named after Joseph Clayes.

Comments about Trend Sports Crusher and Power Alley Machine 22' Machine and Cage:
This was a total disappointment, honestly. The instructions are weak...putting the net on the frame required much better direction. We have done similar construction prior, which is the ONLY reason that we were able to achieve some semblance of workable order with the frame/net combo. The net and pitching machine should never have been an offered combination, as (the directions neglect to say) the pitching machine that is expected to be used with the net should sit outside of the net apparatus, AND attach to it. This pitching machine DOES NOT attach, and after many failed attempts at improvising, must be installed INSIDE the net. This is so for another reason...there is not enough power for the machine to reach the batter if it is outside the net!
On the plus side, it functions adequately for a pre-teen or younger, once it is inside the net. My son, for what it is worth, now that it is set up (the best we could do) enjoys it.
I would NOT recommend it, however. If you do purchase it, be prepared to improvise.

No that is not a typo in the title.
I am running Release 8.0.3.GA.5664.UBUNTU12.64 UBUNTU12_64 FOSS edition and my
/opt/zimbra/data/ldap/mdb/db/data.mdb is exactly 80 Gigabytes. Which is especially
surprising since the install is on a 20GB virtual machine.
A fsck on the drive shows up clean. The end of the data file seems to be all null bytes
so I assume that it is a sparse file and doesnt actually take up that much room on disk.
However when backing up those sparse sectors suddenly become real and I have a very
large backup.
The machine has a total of 23 accounts on it and it seems to be working just fine otherwise.
The allocated size reported by 'ls -ks' is 880(kb), and 'du --block-size=1' reports 901120
which is exactly 880kb
Clearly 80 GB is to big, but how go I go about fixing it?
The truncate command will cut it down to size but is it safe to do so?
Thanks for any and all assistance.

love!!!! so perfect and beautiful, Eric!
The art and illustration is top notch. Love the artwork. My only complaint would be that for $42 for a hoody I was hoping it would be a lot thicker than it is. Its like a long sleeve tee thickness. Hardly any protection from the cold weather. That's my only disappointment.
I really loved this artwork, ordered it as a rug, but the quality of the rug was sadly not great, not good finishing at all.
this is so mystical--love it--it could be an illustration for H.G. Wells or Jules Verne----ari
Love the detail and colour pallet!

Sheldon Shooting
(Sheldon) -- The O'Brien County Sheriff's office is investigating a shooting that occurred in Sheldon Tuesday evening. The victim, who's name is being withheld at this time, was shot in the head and was transported to a Sioux Falls hospital. The Sheldon Police and the Iowa Department of Criminal Investigation are assisting the O'Brien County Sheriff's office with that investigation. Law enforcment advises that there is no threat to the public safety of Sheldon residents.
(LeMars) -- LeMars Gehlen high school students were not in class yesterday, but that doesn't mean they're playing hooky. Instead, students were around town raking leaves, washing windows, trimming hedges and other such seasonal outdoor chores. It was all part of the "Fall Service Day." No doubt that Gehlen high school has enjoyed some success this year with their football and volleyball teams qualifying for state playoffs, and several students being selected to the all-state chorus, but Gehlen Catholic President, Father Kevin Richter says that we are not called upon to be successful, but rather faithful. Richter says the Fall Service Day is an opportunity for the students and staff to use their gifts and talents for the common good, and to build together a strong sense of community. Senior Rachelle Lipp has assisted others for four years and offers an explaination as to why Gehlen students help with the chores.

(Newton) -- Two Iowa based companies are shutting down plants and moving the employees to other facilities. Whirlpool Corp. has announced it is moving about 160 production jobs to Amana as the company closes its refrigerator plant in Fort Smith, Ark.
In a statement released Thursday, the company blamed the closure on a decrease in demand for side-by-side refrigerators and price pressure from competitors. The closure is set for mid-2012 and will
put about 1,000 people out of work.
In addition to side-by-side refrigerators, the plant produces trash compactors and built-in refrigerators. The company said trash compactor production will move to Ottawa, Ohio. The production of built-in refrigerators will come to the Amana refrigerator plant.
Meanwhile, Pella Corporation is asking people to take early retirement. -
Pella Corp. will offer incentives to employees who take early retirement or voluntarily leave the
company and will close a plant in South Carolina as it tries to offset a decline in new home construction.
The Pella, Iowa-based company, which makes windows and doors, says in a news release Thursday that incentives will be offered to employees at plants in Carroll and Shenandoah, South Carolina,
Sioux Center and Pella, Iowa, as well as at plants in Macomb, Illinois and Portland, Oregon.
A Pella spokeswoman says the workforce reductions are the result of the downturn in new home construction, which has fallen more than 70 percent since 2006.

The reason I ask is now that we went there once, more of our friends are asking to go.....
How do most of you prefer to hunt mule deer in open country (SE Montana)? Alone? With a partner? A group of people? We had three of us last year and in open country one can cover a lot of territory. We all walked together which I am starting to think was not a good idea. Do you think each person should just pick a location several miles away from each other and hunt. I just think too many people might be bad. If you all hunt together, then everyone shouldn't plan on shooting a deer since it may take you a couple days to get one that you spotted. Just curious what you think and your style. Thanks,
The reason I ask is now that we went there once, more of our friends are asking to go.....
We hunt in central South Dakota and it is pretty open as well. Mostly just grass hills with some Cedar and buck brush in the draws. My dad and I hunt together a lot and I have hunted by myself a few times. I have never had more than one other person with me. I found with one person you see more than with two and with three I would guess it would be lower still. We have seen parties of three and one four person group out there and we can pick them off at long distances because they all seem to blob together to one big dark moving object. If we could see the group you know the deer can. I personally think you can hunt with two people comfortably but out in that open countryi wouldn't go more than that. Plus, like you said if you all hunt together the chance of everyone filing tags is lower but you do have more help to pack or with the first trip.
Now therefore, please take your weapons, your quiver and your bow, and go out to the field and hunt game for me.
Genesis 27:3 (NKJV)
How many of you would spike camp it in the brush overnight if you are a few miles from the truck? I was thinking of doing this so this would reduce the amount of walking. This would give me better opportunity to glass a large area thoroughly.
I started kicking that idea around last year too. Every morning we hike in about three miles. Most of the area is walk in only but some is blm. I don't really have the right great to bring in and out. All ours is really heavy or summer camping stuff. If I'd had the right stuff I would have done it last year a lot more hunting and less walking.
Now therefore, please take your weapons, your quiver and your bow, and go out to the field and hunt game for me.
Genesis 27:3 (NKJV)
I've only been hunting for a few years. But I've done a lot of backpacking and kayaking trips. I think it depends on the goal of the trip. At least part of the goal for me is a good harvest, so I want to use proven tactics. I only have a couple guys I'm willing to walk with, and can hunt with side-by-side. But I could enjoy a camp or even glassing with other people. Buck camp is different than hunting together.
The last time I hunted Eastern MT, there were three of us and we generally stayed together (kind of the point of hunting with friends if you ask me), though we would split up a bit so each of us could glass different coulees, etc. and then reconvene to make a game plan. One tactic that worked out for us was leaving one spotter while the others made the stalk. On one such stalk, we had spotted a buck bedded and made a plan. As we rounded the last corner, he was nowhere to be found and we figured we had blown the stalk, but because our other buddy was still glassing from his vantage point, we found out that a doe had come by and he had simply followed her over a ridge in a completely different direction. It worked well and we shot that buck less than an hour later a few draws over. The three of us hunted together essentially the whole time, and all filled our tags in three days. One buck each day.
I do think splitting up when you have multiple people in a group is advantageous since you'll cover more ground, but I generally like to have everyone on the same page before heading out and maybe make a place/time to meet again in case things change as you find game, weather changes, etc. Doing things like everyone taking a different coulee or finger ridge and then meetings at the top or bottom is what I usually like to do. Everyone going several miles apart seems a bit extreme to me and but it may be useful if the situation calls for it and depending on everyone's hunting style. If I'm hunting with friends, I usually like to hunt with them and not necessarily just in the same corner of the state. It's usually a lot more fun to have someone next to you when you shoot something and makes for better memories, in my opinion. And who knows, you might pull a double. I've done that before and it made for a really great hunt and an even better story.

Can't spell scum without U&M... Go 'Cats!
I would split up even if your not real far apart so you can cover more country.
I know I may not hunt exactly like most native westerners do............but we do a combo b/w spotting and what I call "sneak hunting"........we sit on high points in mornings and evening, and if we don't see anything or if we don't see anything big.........we go sneaking along the canyons. It is open country where we hunt.............I will just say it is the powder river break country.........so it is pretty broken open country. We sneak along the edges of the canyons and look down in for bedded or feeding deer. we usually split up or work in pairs. one guy in the bottom and one guy on top, or guys on top across from each other, or just hunt alone.
In 2 years with 8 total tags, we have killed 6 mulie bucks. and we should have had all 8 except for misses. Biggest scored 143". I saw one after I tagged out and was gunless just spotting for my buddy that was even bigger. could have wacked him for sure.
and sneaking along the rims last year, we could have shot 2 of the bucks with our bows, including the 143"
I will say though......this is the first year that we will have a spotting scope, so we will probably do more spot and stalk. But we wont hesitate to put on some miles. Round trip, we figured we were putting on 10-15 miles a day on foot.
While not conventional methods, we do seem to be successful in our style of hunting.

Santa Cruz Bicycles 5010 X01 AM Complete Mountain Bike $0.00
When the 5010 dropped, the world got an up-close-and-personal look at the next generation of mid-wheeled trail bikes. In that spirit, Santa Cruz offers 5010 X01 AM complete mountain bike. With its 27.5 inch wheels and proven FOX suspension, it'll make short work of hairy trails and all-day rides. The SRAM X01 drivetrain replaces a front derailleur with a super-wide range 11-speed cassette, for a 1x11 drivetrain that offers up the same gear range as a double. Sure, it's slightly less flashy than its carbon fiber counterpart, but the aluminum framed version is primed for years of headache-free hard riding. In case you've been wondering, this is exactly what all the fuss is about.
While there's no denying the drool-factor of the carbon fiber 5010, aluminum remains the material of choice for the value conscious among us. Luckily for you, Santa Cruz's decades of experience with the material are on full display. Through thoughtful selection of butted tubing, and artfully minimized machined bits, the 5010's frame is kept to a very reasonable 6.8 pounds for a medium frame with a rear shock. And while it sacrifices roughly a pound and a half to its carbon fiber counterpart, it stacks up admirably both in terms of strength and stiffness. That's thanks in part to the oversized 15mm collet style hardware, which is further aided by the 12x142mm through axle out back.
With a bike this versatile, it's important to have a suspension platform that pedals as well as it descends. And with the latest version of VPP handling the terrain, that's not a concern. It uses two counter-rotating links to achieve an optimal balance of firm pedaling and a smooth ride. Basically, the beginning stroke is controlled by the upper link, which starts the stroke in a high-leverage position for a supple ride over stutter bumps. As the suspension settles into the sag point, the lower link takes over control of the suspension, enabling the rear wheel to travel backwards, out of the way of impacts. The upshot to all of this is when the suspension is at the resting sag point, it harnesses your pedaling forces to neutralize suspension movement, giving you a firm, efficient feel at the pedals. So, whether you're climbing for two hours at a time, or rallying aggressive descents, your suspension works with you, not against you.
The mid-sized 27.5-inch wheels found on the 5010 have been surrounded by a whirlwind of attention as of late, and with good reason. The geometry of 26 inch bikes has become thoroughly refined over the past few years, but many riders find that the improved rolling characteristics of a 29-inch wheel make them an appealing alternative. However, stuffing a 29 inch wheel into a frame with moderate travel can produce some undesirable side effects, most notably long, unwieldy chainstays. By designing the 5010 around 27.5 inch wheels, Santa Cruz has harnessed the improved rolling ability of larger wheels, while dropping nearly three quarters of an inch off the chainstay length of the Tallboy. And that translates into faster turns and a more responsive ride. The chainstays grow roughly a quarter inch as compared to the Blur TR, allowing it to maintain the snappy handling of its smaller wheeled sibling. And like the Blur TR, the head angle remains at 68 degrees. What that means for you is that the steering feel is nearly identical to the notoriously fun TR. Instead of thinking of the 5010 as a downsized Tallboy, consider it a beefed up Blur TR that retains the flickability, and adds a heaping spoonful of out-and-out speed to the equation.
The X01 AM build features SRAM's 11-speed X01 groupset. By using a massive 10-42 cassette, you're able to get a gearing range that's similar to a traditional double chainring drivetrain, and you save the weight and complexity of a front shifter and derailleur. The concept has been proven at the highest levels of competition via SRAM's XX1 groupset, so the reliability and functionality leave nothing to be desired. Suspension duties are handled by FOX units front and back, in the form of a 32 FLOAT fork, and a FOX FLOAT CTD evolution rear shock. The fork employs FOX's FIT sealed damper for consistent performance on long descents, and the none-more-gold Kashima coating. The rear shock forgoes the Kashima coating, although in our experience, the tangible difference in performance is somewhere between negligible and non-existent.
You'll find an Easton Havoc alloy handlebar and Truvativ AKA stem handling the steering, and the staff favorite RockShox Reverb Stealth dropper post puts control of your saddle height at your fingertips. Rounding out the build kit is a hand built wheelset comprised of DT's legendary 350 hubs laced with DT spokes to WTB i23 tubeless compatible rims. They're wrapped in Maxxis High Roller II tires, which have developed a loyal following for their fast rolling and incredible grip across a broad range of trail conditions.
The Santa Cruz 5010 X01 AM Complete Mountain Bike is available in four sizes from Small to X-Large, and in the colors Orange/blue, and White/grey.

Would you ship one of these to Spain?....
Would you ship one of these to Spain?. Thanks. Superb store, by the way.
We must ship the SC bikes to a US address. Do you have any friends or family here you could ship to?
I've now been riding my SOLO for a year
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
I've been riding the trails near my home in NC for nearly a year and it rides like a charm. I had been riding a Blur LT and had way too much travel for the terrain around here. The SOLO climbs like a mountain goat and is equally nimble on the descents. I have had a few rolls over logs where the lower bottom bracket took a brush. I think that was more an issue of me getting a sense of the geometry and now I'm able to hop over most obstacles.
I also have a 29er hard tail, but 650b really is the best of both worlds. I
Good 650 b
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
i had a chance to ride this bike over a long weekend. My initial impressions of this bike are good. The 5 inches of travel and steeper head angle (68 degrees) makes this bike a nice choice for longer,epic type rides vs the Bronson.The bikes geometry is very comfortable and I found the sizing (large) to be perfect for me,being 5'11. The bikes handling as very good as it performed well in tight single track,moderate jumps and ledges (nice platform for landing) and great acceleration. It was a little sluggish on climbs but the bike is a little heavier than my current rig.The Xo-1 set up is really nice and quiet on the trail and you don't have to worry about throwing chains with it. All in all the bike performed well and I would recommend it.

Not My Favorite 650b But Still Solid
- Familiarity: I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions
Needless to say I was incredibly stoked to throw a leg over the 5010 for the first time. After setting up the suspension and biking around the neighborhood dialing in the bike I was ready to rip the next day.
The Climb: I took this bike up the Glenwild trails (a trail system I am very familiar with and have ridden many different bikes on). On the way up, I felt that the VPP system kept me a little lower in the travel than what I am used to on my Yeti SB66. I kept the CTD float in the Descent mode the whole day so I could really get a feel for what the suspension system was doing. By raising the seat a little higher than I usually do, it compensated for sitting lower in the travel and I didn't feel like my efficiency was getting 'robbed,' as much
compared to the Ibis HDR which has similar amount of travel and utilize the DW-link suspension system, the 5010 did not climb as well as either of these bikes.
The 5010, however, did perform incredibly well on technical climbing section and kept traction very well.
The Descent: After an 8 mile climb I was very ready to point those tires downhill and see what they could do. My initial impressions were that the VPP system performed very well in keeping the bike grounded. It kept the rear wheel from skipping as I hit the notorious blind switchbacks. This bike held traction in corners great as well. I felt that I could lay the bike down with more confidence that I wouldn't slide. The downside of the descent was that the VPP system made the bike feel as though it was glued to the ground which made it more difficult to utilize the suspension to help me jump over obstacles and move the bike around in the air. Compared to the HDR, which is incredibly playful on the descents. With my riding style, where I like to make the most of natural features on the trail this bike wasn't for me but it would be excellent for someone who likes to rip but keep their tires planted firmly on the ground
I couldn't disagree with you more on the climbing comparison to the HDR. Your shock settings must not have been right. I own a HDR and the 5010 Easily Eats It Alive on the Climbs! It made my $9000.00 HDR feel like a Big Slow Pig on the climb up Mac Ridge. The HDR is more for those who aren't in a hurry on the climbs. On my 20 plus mile test Loop in Fruita I posted over a Dozen PRs on the Low end Aluminum 5010 that was bone stock and Easily 2-3 pounds heavier than my HDR. Up, Down, and Across, I was faster on the 5010. You can't cheat the clock. I'd also say its more playful as well. The 5010 in My opinion is the Most balanced Trail bike I have ever ridden. I just wish the Large had a 24.5" top tube.
After riding this bike I sold my almost new HDR.
I agree that I don't think I set up my suspension correctly. I should have brought a shock pump with me, the suspension was sitting me a little lower in the travel than what I like. That definitely makes a huge difference in how the bike rides.
Not just the Bronson's little Brother
After taking this bike for a spin in the Wasatch Mts around SLC, I was thoroughly impressed. After riding Bronson, which caters to the lift service rider, I found the 5010 to be what everyone was hoping for in the Bronson- a fast, nimble trail bike longing for a day of climbing and descending. I'd rate the Bronson 80% down and 20% up but the 5010 definitely splits the ride more evenly without sacrifice - maybe 55%/45%. Tweener wheels, welcome to the stable!

A bill passed by the Michigan Senate would allow health care providers could use a "moral objection" or "matter of conscience" standard to refuse service to patients.
The legislation moves to the state House for consideration next week following Thursday's 26-12 vote.
The Michigan Catholic Conference issued a statement in support of the changes. Planned Parenthood says the legislation jeopardizes the health of women and families.
Under the legislation, coverage plans participating in health exchanges that are part of President Barack Obama's federal health care act couldn't cover elective abortions unless the coverage is offered as a separate optional rider.
The state already has a conscientious objection clause for abortion services, but some say birth control prescriptions also could be affected.

good tent, bad vestibule
We bought this tent for some extra space while car camping. Big tent, nice high roof.
the downsides are 1) the vestibule is so angled when you step out of the tent you have to crouch. 2) the stow pockets in the corners (only 3 out of four corners?) are tiny. 3) the hula loop is tough to break apart once its all connected.

Veterans across our area and across the nation are being remembered this weekend, as annual wreath laying ceremonies are paying tribute to those who gave their lives for freedom.
Wreaths are laid across America at Veterans memorial cemeteries on the second and third weekends of December to pay tribute to the veterans. The wreaths started taking form all across the country due to an Arlington photograph of a wreath that was placed on the stones in the snow.
"All the veterans that are buried here at the Newton Cemetery, they are placed on each stone and then there were some individual wreaths purchased to go to other places to be placed on individual graves throughout the city," Jim Swartz with the Veterans Day Committee says.
David Angle says it is about honoring the veterans who laid their life on the line to keep us free.
"Today means much much more than a camera can say, or any of us standing here can say," he says. "It's an honor to be able to be here to recognize these men and what they gave for us."

CHARLESTON (AP) - Many West Virginians will be paying more for health care this year under rate increases the state Health Care Authority has approved for 15 hospitals.
The increases affect people with private insurance and those who pay out of their own pocket. They range from as low as 1.24 percent at Bluefield Regional Medical Center to as high as 8.7 percent at Fairmont General Hospital.
Ohio Valley Medical Center's 5.09-percent increase was the only change in costs approved for the Northern Panhandle.
Only one rate was lowered: Charleston Surgical Hospital's rate is falling by less than half of 1 percent.
Hospital administrators call the increases routine.
"It basically allows hospitals to keep up with rising costs on the other end," said Dale Witte, spokesman for Charleston Area Medical Center. "We think it's reasonable."
The other rate hikes include: 4.3 percent at CAMC; 3.6 percent at CAMC Teays Valley in Hurricane; 6 percent at West Virginia University Hospitals; 4.25 percent at United Hospital Center in Bridgeport; 4.75 percent at Raleigh General Hospital in Beckley; 6.5 percent at Summersville Regional Hospital; 4.58 percent at City Hospital in Martinsburg; 5.25 percent at Williamson Memorial Hospital; 4.24 percent at Logan Regional Hospital; 4.74 percent at Camden Clark Memorial Hospital in Parkersburg; 6.97 percent at Greenbrier Valley Medical Center in Ronceverte; and 4.75 percent at Davis Memorial Hospital in Elkins.

Charlotte, NC (Sports Network) - It's been a struggle for Cam Newton this
season, but the sophomore signal caller had a day reminiscent of his record-
setting rookie campaign.
Newton threw two touchdown passes and broke off a 72-yard TD scamper in the
Carolina Panthers' 30-20 win over the Atlanta Falcons.
Newton was 23-of-35 for 287 yards and added 116 yards rushing on nine carries
for the Panthers (4-9), who have won two of their last three contests.
Steve Smith hauled in seven balls for 109 yards in the triumph.
The Falcons (11-2), meanwhile, will have to wait at least another week to
clinch a first-round playoff bye.
Matt Ryan tallied 302 of his 342 yards in the second half and finished 34-
of-49 with two scores and an interception for Atlanta, which had its three-
game winning streak snapped.
Roddy White caught nine passes for 117 yards and a touchdown in the setback.

Tracing Swiss-made tools and Bosch's place in the global market
My whirlwind tour of Bosch's corporate offices and manufacturing facilities in Europe continued from Germany into Switzerland.
Like most large companies in the world, the Robert Bosch Company has grown not only through innovation and development of its own product lines, but also through acquisitions of existing companies. For example, in recent years Bosch has acquired Sia Abrasives, a Swiss-based company making sandpaper and other abrasives for many industries, and also Freud, the Italian business that makes cutting tools (saw blades, router bits, shaper cutters, etc.) and produces its own carbide.
My next stop was the former Scintilla company headquarters in Solothurn, Switzerland. Read more

How could I sort this persona list ?
