Virgin 40 Celebrations - 40 Years of Disruptions - Jazzie B Presents: Soul II Soul + Jazzie B
This show has been rescheduled to 12th November.
This event takes place at KOKO, which has achieved Silver Status for disabled access from Attitude Is Everything.
Soul II Soul
Soul II Soul have been producing memorable quality music since the late eighties. They've sold over 6.8 million albums in 35 territories across the globe and appeared on over 100 compilation albums. Their Club Classics Vol. 1 album was named one of the top 50 British Albums Ever by Q Magazine. They began as a sound system in the early 80s, playing at various house blues parties, street parties and local youth clubs, adopting a unique style which became known as 'Funki Dred'. Soul II Soul signed to Virgin Records, and the rest is history. Tracks such as 'Keep On Movin' and 'Back To Life' have stood the test of time.
Soul II Soul tour dates
Jazzie B
DJ, music producer, entrepreneur and a founding member of Soul II Soul.
Although Jazzie B and Soul II Soul will always be connected, both spiritually and substantially, that has never been all Jazzie has been about. For years he has built a parallel career away from the collective, one that allows him to advance his own ideas and character.
Among his more eclectic achievements as Jazzie B, he has been a regular on London radio since Kiss FM was a pirate, and also does a variety of voice-overs for radio and television. He has had a spell running Motown in the UK, designed a sneaker for the Lacoste Legends range and presented James Brown with the Diesel U Music Lifetime Achievement award – an honour the late Mr Brown would accept in person on the one condition that it was Jazzie who presented it to him!

- - Tool to remove core to properly mount deck hardware (http://www.sailnet.com/forums/sailnet-faq/84912-tool-remove-core-properly-mount-deck-hardware.html)
Tool to remove core to properly mount deck hardware
Hi, best practice when mounting/bedding deck hardware on a cored deck is to remove some of the core surrounding the holes to protect the remaining core from water intrusion.
For big holes, traditional tools can perform this job. For tiny holes, like one for a single fastener, a person can apparently use a bent nail in a drill.
For medium sized holes, like for cockpit and deck drains, I found that I could not get regular tools in there, and a bent nail would just jump around as it made and lost contact with the core. Maybe a sturdy hand and drill press guide or attachment could make this work. But after trying a few grinding bits for my drill and Fein MM, I tried a Kutzall Extreme - Rotor Saw Burrs (RSX-114F) in my drill. It was easier to control, worked fast, and appears to me to be an ideal and inexpensive solution for this task. I'm not sure where they are sold, but I got mine on eBay:

Re: Tool to remove core to properly mount deck hardware
Stick an allen wrench in your drill (short side down).
Re: Tool to remove core to properly mount deck hardware
I've got a couple of 1/8" allen wrenches that I've cut the short end down a bit for different sized holes. They work OK but if they get hung up it twists them pretty easily. Looks like those burrs would require a pretty large hole to get into, but if that flat one happened to be the same size as the hole it would work great.
Re: Tool to remove core to properly mount deck hardware
1 Attachment(s)
I use a dremel router bit in a flex drive. The bit below is 1/4" diameter and bit #115 is 5/16" diameter. They work well - the 1/4" one shown fits in most hardware holes. This tip originally came from Mainesail.
Re: Tool to remove core to properly mount deck hardware
I have this bit and I'm sure it would work great...if the core was thick enough. It's only about 1/4 or so in the area I need to grind out. I could try the allen wrench but that seems kind of crude.
Re: Tool to remove core to properly mount deck hardware
An Allen wrench works. Or you can use a bent nail. It doesn't have to be neat as the epoxy will cover it.
Re: Tool to remove core to properly mount deck hardware
I have used different burs - the down side to a bur is that most of the time it was too big for the hole and I ended up with a large hole on the top side. Tried the bent nail and sort of worked but bounced a bit.
The last tool has been a series of about 1/8 inch Allen Wrenches with the short ends ground down - I have several different lengths - the smallest or shortest is small enough to rotate freely in the base hole. Then I beat out the core (Balsa in my case) then switch to a slightly longer Allen Wrench and repeat a few times until I get the core enlarged to the size I want - - the secret with the Allen Wrenches is not to use too long a short side - when the short side is too long or you get too greedy and in a hurry the bit will bounce around and get bent - - on the good side the 1/8 inch Allen Wrenches don't cost much if you buy them at an industrial supply house. Seems I might have paid maybe $ 1.50 for 6 wrenches.

The sly smile appears at the first mention of going to a baseball game, going outside to swing or heading to the pool.
Jack McGee can't speak due to severe cerebral palsy. But when it comes to his favorite activities, he doesn't need to say a word to tell you how he feels.
"He's the happiest kid when he gets to go outside. You can see it," said Katie Griffin, Jack's mother.
Cerebral palsy might have stolen Jack's ability to walk, talk and play like typical boys, but the 13-year-old has pushed beyond his limitations, developing a love for baseball, swimming and the outdoors.
As he has grown, it has become more difficult for his family to take him to the park or go on short trips. They worry that without a handicap-accessible van, those outings will become too rare.
"He likes to be outside a lot, and he likes to go places. As he's gotten older, it's become more difficult," Griffin said.
Jack was diagnosed with athetoid cerebral palsy when he was 8 months old.
During his birth, Griffin's uterus ruptured. At a crucial point, Jack received a dangerously low amount of oxygen, which left him with cerebral palsy.
Jack is tube-fed, receiving nutrients through a pump that goes directly into his stomach. He needs help with all of his daily activities, from brushing his teeth to getting dressed to washing himself.
Despite the disability, Jack's family has tried to give him every opportunity to be a typical child.
Though he does not speak, his wheelchair is equipped with a Dynovox audio device, which he controls with his knee. The machine gives him a voice that he uses to ask questions, let people know if he needs something and participate in his sixth-grade class at Center Grove Middle School North.
Jack plays baseball on the Challenger team in Greenwood. Out in the sun on the ballfield, he's never happier than when he's circling the bases or scoring a run, Griffin said.
For years, he has been on the sidelines to watch his sister, Bridey McGee, and seven stepsiblings play sports. Getting to participate himself has been amazing for his self-esteem, Griffin said.
One of his favorite activities is going with his mother to the store. But the ordeal of moving him in and out of the car is making it too hard, Griffin said.
The disease left him unable to control his arms and legs, and he'll often have spastic fits of movement. When he's kicking and flailing, it becomes difficult and dangerous to move him, Griffin said.
"It's not safe. Even when he's not upset and he's in a good mood, he's moving around, and you never know which way he'll go," she said.
Every time he needs to go to physical therapy, school or a baseball game, his family has to lift him out of his chair, move him into a car seat, strap him in and heft his wheelchair into the car.
His motorized wheelchair weighs about 55 pounds, a strain for anyone who has to lift it into the family's existing van.
"It's heavy enough and awkward enough that I have twisted my back, pulled muscles. In the snow and ice, trying to get him out and get the chair in, it's becoming a safety issue for everybody," Griffin said.
That difficulty has led the family to enter a contest in the hope of winning a van equipped with a ramp.
Jack is one of 1,100 disabled men, women and children who are sharing their stories in the hopes of receiving an accessible van.
The contest is organized by the National Mobility Equipment Dealers Association in recognition of National Mobility Awareness Month. Officials wanted to honor disabled people from all over the country who volunteer, educate, advocate, achieve and persevere, said Dave Hubbard, executive director of the association.
Every nominee is listed online, and the public can vote for who they feel is most deserving. The winner receives a Chrysler van custom-made with a wheelchair ramp.
A friend of Jack's family recommended they enter. At a crossroads with how to safely transport Jack, they thought the contest was the ideal solution, Griffin said.
"I've been Facebooking the link every day so people can vote. My brother-in-law created a graphic for Jack, and I've been sending that out and made it my email signature," she said. "I've been telling everyone I can about it."
As of the end of April, Jack had received about 3,000 votes. People have until Friday to vote for him.
The family understands that it's a long shot they'll win the contest, Griffin said. But the work is worth it if it means Jack can keep playing baseball, going to the pool and taking trips with his family, even as he grows bigger.
"I'm getting to the point where I need to think twice about whether to take him, and I'd rather him be able to go whenever he wants," Griffin said.

Georgiana Vines reports on remarks at the recent League of Women Voters legislative breakfast....
On a related note, Sen. Campfield did not attend the meeting and declined to answer Georgiana Vines' questions about topic. Apparently constituents must read his blog to find out if he's representing them. Today he rants about exempting Tennessee from federal gun laws and how to get rid of the state attorney general.

This blog is too small to be this much work. I'm considering closing comments altogether or incorporating Facebook comments after clearing out nearly 8,000 spam comments posted after I upgraded my WordPress installation and Akismet somehow crapped out, alongside Disqus.
That would explain the random dDOS attacks on this blog that happen when I post anything new, too. Disqus is a great service but I'm not thrilled with how this all happened, or what a challenge moderating them was.
On the plus side, there have been some outstanding comments posted here, well worth taking the time to read. So I'm torn.
Talk me down or talk me into it. I'll leave comments open on this one.
Before I launch off on a tiny rant, let me just say up front that I love Disqus. I especially love being able to reply to comments (or handle sp*m) from my BlackBerry. It makes it simple to be mobile and not worry about the blog.
On the other side, the sp*mmers must be having a bad year too, because they're getting more and more desperate with their nonsense comments, especially on old posts. Even with the Disqus tools, they're sneaking through and leaving droppings for me to clean up for them.
My options are to either close comments on old posts or to close the option to allow comments by anonymous and unregistered users.
The thing is, people do comment on some of the older posts, and the comments are usually around the Automotive Advisers mailings or Firstline posts. They're good to have, because they keep any reader current on the new ways these scammers are helping themselves to our bank accounts.
That leaves me with requiring Disqus registration or Friendfeed membership, and that's what I'm opting for. I've integrated Friendfeed with the comments, so if you're a Friendfeed user, you can comment via Friendfeed and your comments will appear on the post.
Otherwise, register with Disqus. It's fast, free and really not invasive at all. Register once, and then you can comment away here as you please.
Time and attention are in short supply for all of us…I'd rather pay attention to those of you who take the time to come, read and post real comments than have to slog through a bunch of nonsense to get to the ones that are from real people.
As an added bonus, if you want to actually take the time to do a video comment, you can leave that here now too. I've also made the same changes to the political blog commenting, since I'm sure it's just a matter of time before that one is discovered, too.
Warning: It does have language that's NSFW at the end. Still, it's 2 minutes well-spent on how to have a productive online discussion:

Hi, I am trying to make the plugin register people while they are logged in as a specific user (airscout) in this case.
I am doing this so the scout group can login using the generic (airscout) login and make their own then, because I can therefore insure only scouts are making accounts.
Any way to do this?

My Father Cigars Connecticut bundle cigar
Very short write up this week on the My Father Cigars Connecticut Bundle Cigar as my neck is hurting pretty bad and my phone never saved my memo/notes. Found these at my local shop for $60 a bundle of 20 cigars. I could not say no to a $3 stick that I am almost 100% sure is from My Father cigars factory but without having any documentation I can not be totally sure. I am certain enough that I …
E.P. Carrillo La Historia
Today I have a cigar that has been hanging around my humidor for a little while, the E.P. Carrillo La Historia. I honestly can't even remember the price I paid but it seems the range is around $7-$9. I also do not know the size but I am pretty sure it is the Dona Elena at 6 1/8 x 50. If not then it would be the El Senador at 5 3/8 x 52. To me …
Rocky Patel Decade Cameroon
This week I take on the Rocky Patel Decade Cameroon. I have been looking forward to having a nice day to smoke this out on the porch for a while now and this was the day. These are not cheap, coming in around $10+ but it isn't too far out of the comfort zone that people may still reach for one here and there.
Nice looking wrapper and has a great open cold draw. Starts off with a …
Perdomo Double Aged Maduro 12 Year
Simple writeup this week as it has been crazy busy around these here parts. This week I will finish up the Perdomo 12 Year triple play with the Perdomo Double Aged maduro 12 year cigar. This was around $10 msrp and is the robusto (even though it seemed bigger to me for some reason).
Starts out with a nice cocoa/chocolate taste and a little pepper. Base flavor is woody and the smoke is hearty, rather than being real …

Perdomo Double Aged SunGrown 12 Year Salomon
This week I take on a super long named cigar, the Perdomo Double Aged SunGrown 12 Year in the Salomon shape. These are available in Connecticut, sungrown and maduro wrappers and I hope to try each one but probably in different vitolas since the salomon runs $12 MSRP.

Interview with Jason Weaver, CEO of Shoutlet
The other day, I sent some questions to Jason Weaver, the CEO of Shoutlet, because one of his recent articles had challenged me to reconsider my thoughts on Facebook's new opt-in feature for Fan Pages.
The interview, which I published today on Examiner.com, is really interesting. I like what Jason has to say about Facebook. He does not lambast the company. Instead, he tries to find a sensible explanation for the new option. And he talks about users instead of just business owners.

How many days has it been since your workplace's last incident? Whatever the number, don't leave it to chance by wearing ill-protected footwear. Depending on your occupation, you must adapt your footwear appropriately. For example, a career in manufacturing or machinery will require drastically different shoes than, say, a server or a warehouse supervisor. So before you read any further, ask yourself — are your feet properly outfitted?
If you said no, first things first, and let's talk about the risks of improper footwear. Typically speaking, there are two major categories of work-related foot damage. The first includes injuries from punctures, lacerations and crushing of the forefoot, again mainly happening in industrial careers. The second group includes slips, trips and falls due to a lack of tread. According to the National Floor Safety Institute, half of all workplace injuries are caused by floor contaminants. The second leading cause, responsible for 24% of injuries, is improper footwear. As a result, personal claim damages in 2006 exceeded a whopping $11 billion!
With those statistics in mind, Skechers Work brings you its line of ultra tough, durable shoes and boots. Designed in Skechers's popular looks, the Skechers Work safety toe collection offers the latest in style, quality and comfort, and are tested to meet or exceed ASTM F2413-2011, I/75 C/75 standards for impact and compression safety.
Available in boots, sneakers, casuals and slip-ons for men and women, most safety toe styles are enhanced with Relaxed Fit® construction (a Skechers memory foam insole) and a roomier toe for instant, all-day comfort. Steel toe and lightweight options, such as alloy safety toe and non-metallic composite toe, are also available, as well as select styles offering electrical hazard and waterproof protection.
Furthermore, in an effort to reduce on-the-job injuries everywhere, Skechers Work's rubberized, slip-resistant outsole provides excellent traction and is OSHA compliant. In fact, many of its stylishly designed products have been sole tested with ASTM F1677-96 Mark II standards to meet or exceed a .45 coefficient, even on wet and oily surfaces.
So by the time your next shift begins, have piece of mind knowing your feet and body are protected with the Skechers Work collection. Check below for some of the latest and greatest styles available on Zappos.com.

Inside OMB: Politics and Process in the President's Budget Office
By Shelley Lynne Tomkin
Inside OMB: Politics and Process in the President's Budget Office
By Shelley Lynne Tomkin
The Office of Management and Budget (OMB) occupies a critical juncture in relations between the office of the President, the Executive Branch, and Congress. Through its budgetary, managerial, and regulatory review mandates, it can function as an "enforcer" with a significant impact on public policy and its implementation_ Despite this, OMB has maintained a low profile in recent years, and has eluded focused attention. Remarkably, this is the fast study of OMB to appear in nearly two decades-a time of momentous change both in presidential-congressional relations and in U.S. budgetary politics, including the short-lived line-item veto. The book will be extremely useful not just to students of public policy but to anyone trying to work effectively with federal, state, or local budget offices.

A pedestrian believed to be a 21-year-old Bellevue man died after being struck by the rear trailer of a dump truck in Redmond on Friday morning.
The accident took place at Northeast 36th Street and 148th Avenue Northeast in the Overlake area at 8:23 a.m., Redmond police reported.
The truck was traveling north on 148th Avenue Northeast and turned right to go east on Northeast 36th Street. As the truck turned, the man walking north along 148th stepped into the path of the trailer, after apparently waiting for the first part of the truck-trailer combination to pass.

I had a hard time falling asleep the other night. What could have caused this rare occurrence? Was it worrying about bills, jobs, kids? No, the reason had to do with the July 29 story "EMS agencies to help with studies" I read just before going to bed. A better headline would be, "Clark County residents to become lab rats." Where is the outrage? Patients in cardiac arrest receive lidocaine, amiodarone or the equivalent of a sugar pill? If you receive the saline injection it's the same as if you were not treated at all. Why bother to call 911?
If I were an EMS responder I would refuse to cooperate with this travesty of a study. As an RN, I would have to quit my job before participating in treating a cardiac arrest with normal saline, without patient consent no less.
My suggestion to everyone is to get the "No Study" bracelet by calling OHSU at 503-494-8083; let any and all you know and care about across the country know they should opt out, as this is a national study; and then contact any government rep you can think of and urge them to rein in the bureaucracy behind this study.

Hello All,
I'm new to this web site, I just moved to Rockville and really want to start playing! I'm a 2.5 - basically an Intermediate player who can easily keep serves in the box once he's warmed up and can maintain long volleys.
The closest courts to me are at the Bauer Drive Community Center, near the intersection with Norbeck Road. I'll play with anyone in the Rockville/Wheaton/nearby Gaithersburg area. Send me a message so we can start playing some games!
Friday was fun, William, but disorganized. We were set up with two ladies and proceeded to play mixed doubles with them for the entire two hours. Guess socials normally move you to play others, right? But I did enjoy the group I played with so I was happy.
The Tennisplex in Germantown has doubles socials just about every Friday night - $15 from 7-9pm. Going for the first time tonight to check it out but heard it's crowded and unorganized. http://montgomerytennisplex.com/
Hey William, I've been trying to create this Saturday morning gathering of 3.0/3.5's but haven't been successful. Anyway, I need a fourth for Saturday morning (9:30?) with Roger and my friend Nate if you're interested.
Hey folks, we need players for World Team Tennis. I need a 3.5 to 4.0 guy and the 3.0 to 3.5 league needs players/another team. Only have three teams in that league and would like a fourth to round out play.
If you have questions about the WTT, let me know and I'll answer them. Let me know if you'd like to join. Email: firstname.lastname@example.com
i AM ABOUT A 4.0 AND AM AVAILABLE WEEKDAYS IN MD AND DC
How'd everyone else fair and does anyone know how traffic is down in Rockville town center? Imagine the lights are still out but have to organize teams to play down that way today.
That storm was rough! No house damage but lots and lots of huge limbs down in yard. Spent nine hours chainsawing yesterday and totally exhausted. This might be the one time I'm happy my knees won't let me play tennis today! Not sure I'd be able to. :)

Like Jake and Me
by Mavis Jukes
No current Talk conversations about this book.
Summary: "Like Jake and Me" tells the story of Alex and his stepfather, Jake. Alex and Jake seem to not have much in common, however a spider lands on Jake and the two bond over trying to find the spider before it bites Jake.
Review: In my opinion, the central message of this story was that no matter how many differences Alex and his stepfather, Jake had between them, they can bond in some way. Throughout the story, Alex kept asking if Jake needed help with cutting wood and holding the ax but he didn't think he was old enough. Also, when Alex's mother encouraged him to show Jake his ballet moves, he declined because he felt like Jake wasn't the ballet type. However, through all these differences they bonded through Alex showing his bravery by helping Jake find the spider. Overall, this story was a great story that showcased a relationship between a stepfather and son.
1) Newberry Award
2) Grades 3-4
3) Like Jake and Me is about a boy Alex who admires a man by the name of Jake and does all he can to help him. Jake, who is taking part in adult activities (cutting wood and carrying them) keeps declining Alex's offers to help. During the story though Alex makes Jake aware that there is a spider on his neck. Jake who is afraid of spiders is now in desperate need of Alex's help. With Alex's assistance, they were able to find the spider and let it go free. Alex finally gets the recognition he wanted from Jake and Jake is grateful for his help at the end.
4) The story Like Jake and Me can be used in a classroom in several ways. One way a teacher can incorporate this book into a classroom is to ask students about their personal role models and to explain why. Students then have to make a biography about their role model and find information about them. This assignment can help students learn information gathering skills using sources such as the internet.
-Newbery Medal Award
-A young boy and his stepfather build a relationship by working together and doing certain chores.
-This book is a good way of teaching kids how to build a relationship with their family and teaching them how to help others out. I would ask children to make a list of how they would build a relationship with their parents/guardians. I also would ask them to draw a picture of who they would help out in their own family.
A Newbery Honor Book, but also a picture book. A boy and his stepfather grow closer when they realize they are more alike than they thought.
This is a realistic fiction book. The illustrations are done in pastels. The content of this book is about a new family in which the young boy desparately wants to be like his rugged cowboy of a stepfather. Alex rescues him from a wolf spider and the two build a great relationship. This book has a reading level of second to fourth grade. Some curricular connections could be step-parents and realistic fiction.

This book covers the salient points and leading diagnostic symptoms of the principal nervous diseases, and makes it unnecessary for the student or physician who wishes to review his knowledge of the subject to undertake, on his own account, the usual laborious search through the larger treatises. The practical and systematic way in which the various chapters have been divided into definite clinical groups has been well worked out. Following these classifications, brief and instructive explanatory discussions of the different diagnostic signs are presented. The number of illustrations is relatively small, but those that do appear have been carefully selected with a view of conveying to the reader a clear conception of important but often obscure signs. The practitioner who has a general knowledge of the fundamental principles that underlie neurologic subjects will find the classifications and explanations presented an excellent guide in eliciting and interpreting practically all the important

INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS; With Europe's Screenless Windows, Bugs Come and Go
Published: August 2, 2003
(Page 2 of 2)
''Probably the main thing is that there just are not that many horrible insects in France,'' she said. ''There's no black flies.'' She installed her screens, she said, to keep out bugs and moths attracted to the light at night; her French neighbors closed their shutters, and swatted.
Some Europeans, particularly in bug-rich rural areas, also resorted to self-help.
Marjan de Leur, a violinist in the Dutch town of Schaijk, said her husband, Jan, a physician, made their screens about 20 years ago to keep out the flies that were then attracted to local pig farms, but not until trying window curtains, hanging beads and other traditional Dutch insect protection devices. ''Now the pig sties have disappeared, but people have ponds in their gardens, so you get mosquitoes,'' she said. ''Screens are common here.''
In the meantime, window screens abound in most building supply yards and new products are continuously casting the bug population on the defensive.
Hermann Niemann, the marketing director at Wenko, a German manufacturer of household gadgets like ironing board covers, said that about 15 years ago Wenko began selling screens that can be installed in windows by using a Velcro-like tape. More recently a flood of similar products has caused prices to plummet to as little as $3.50 to cover a window. Some customers now simply discard the screens in the fall and purchase new ones in the spring, he said.
He said new products included screens with a tight mesh, ''so that it keeps out pollen, for people with asthma or allergies.'' Such screens retail for as much as $33 a window. In Germany, he said, screens are found mainly in moist regions, ''the Rhineland, the Baltic Sea coast, most areas where you tend to have bugs.''
Mr. Del Vecchio said Mariton, which employs about 75 people, began by distributing screens to building contractors, then five years ago started reaching out to homeowners directly through do-it-yourself centers and building-supply stores. In France, barriers remain.
''People say they're inconvenient, that they block the light and block the air,'' he said. Recent French regulations recommend that food stores and businesses handling fresh food install door and window screens, but fall short of requiring it. ''It has not yet had very much of an impact on us,'' he said.
In Scotland, Mr. Hay said a 1994 British law making screens mandatory in food businesses had buoyed Flyscreen UK, which expects revenue this year of about $8 million. ''There's a snowball effect, from the north of Scotland to the south of England,'' he said.
Mr. Hay has added other weapons to his bug-battling arsenal, including the Mosquito Magnet, a device that attracts and destroys insects and is manufactured by the American Biophysics Corporation of East Greenwich, R.I.
But the battle is tough, he said. Building contractors reluctantly make screens a standard feature of new homes, despite their evident need. ''I'd say we have more bugs here in Scotland'' than in the United States, he said.
The midge population along Scotland's west coast, he added by way of illustration, ''has exploded these last few years.''

More October's Books to Film
The Social Nework, considered by people in-the-know as perhaps, the best film of the year, is based on Ben Mezrich's The Accidental Billionaires : the founding of Facebook, a tale of sex, money, genius and betrayal - a fast-paced, inside look at a story of fortune gained and innocence lost, and how a company that was created to bring people together ultimately tore two friends apart.
In 2003, Eduardo Saverin and Mark Zuckerberg were Harvard undergrads and best friends looking for a way to stand out among the university's elite and competitive student body. Then one lonely night, Zuckerberg hacked into the campus computer system to pull off a prank that crashed Harvard's network. This stunt almost got him expelled, but it also inspired Zuckerberg to create Facebook, the social networking site, and their small start-up quickly went from college dorm room to Silicon Valley. But different ideas about Facebook's future tested their relationship that eventually spiraled into out-and-out warfare.
Opening this weekend is Red, a star-studded espionage-thriller, based on the graphic novel by Warren Ellis (writer) and artist Cully Hammer.
Paul Moses (Bruce Willis) retired -- until the CIA, his former employer decided he was too dangerous to live. When a kill team interrupts his solitude, he changes his status from green to red. As the bodies pile up, the men who set this ruthless killer back into action feel safe in their Langley offices without realizing that Moses has a different plan.

The Public Household: On "Fiscal Sociology and the Liberal Society
IN THE classical tradition of economics there are two realms of economic activity. There is the domestic household, including farms, whose products are not valued (a housewife is not paid; the produce consumed on the farm is not always measured in GNP) because they are not exchanged in the market. And there is the market economy, where the value of goods and services is measured by the relative prices registered in the exchange of money. But there is also now a third sector, more important than the other two, which has come to the fore in the last 25 years, and which will play an even more crucial role in the next 25. This is the public household.1 For reasons that I____________________
The idea of the public household is the organizing concept use by Richard A. Musgrave standard work, The Theory of Public Finance ( New York: McGraw-Hill, 1959).

Three students at Sarah Lawrence College are the recipients of prestigious academic awards. A Harry S. Truman Scholarship was awarded to Kristen Kuriga, a Sarah Lawrence junior. Kathryn Barush, a senior, has been awarded the Thomas J. Watson Fellowship, and junior Erin Condit-Bergren has received the Morris K. Udall Scholarship for the 2003-2004 academic year.
The goals of Kristin Kuriga, who is in pursuit of a career in Public Service, and the graduate study to make that career possible, will be greatly furthered through the Truman Scholarship, awarded to about 75 college juniors from around the country. Kristin has been concentrating her studies in U.S. history and labor and gender studies. She would like to attend Columbia University after she graduates to pursue a Ph.D. in this field. Ultimately, she wants to teach U.S. history in an undergraduate institution as well as engage first hand with the Labor struggle in the United States by working as an organizer of either a union or community organization.
Kristin's dedication to her field extends out from her scholarly work, into the community, which is what the Truman Scholarship looks to reward. "Being awarded the Truman Scholarship not only makes the possibility of pursuing a career in public service more possible, but gives me the opportunity to meet other Truman Scholars who are motivated to make social change a priority in their life," she says. Kristin is participating in a Truman leadership conference in Independence Missouri this month, helping draft policy proposals regarding current Congressional legislation and presenting them to the leaders of Congressional committees.
Kathryn Barush, a senior, is one of this year's recipients of the Thomas J. Watson Fellowship that supports college graduates in a year of study and travel abroad. The fellowship enables recipients to carry out a creative and individual program of their own design and is awarded to outstanding students who exhibit exceptional qualities of leadership, self motivation and dedication to their studies, strong ethical character and a desire to contribute to the world community.
During her college career, Kathryn has studied visual arts, art history, religion, history, writing, both formally as well as through personal ventures. "I am in love with ancient art," Kathryn says whose successful proposal for the fellowship is titled: Further Illuminated: The Buddhist and Christian Manuscript Tradition. " I want to devote my entire life to living abroad and discovering the enigmas of ancient human stories and religion using art as a catalyst." Kathryn will use her fellowship to travel to Russia, Greece, Tibet and India, focusing on comparative studies of religion and ancient art.
"I think the most important thing is that books are a microcosm of thought and history: they contain pictures that tell stories, scripts, doodles in the margins. The reason why going abroad is so integral for my project is that through travel, I can actually experience the Himalayas, for example, as they are depicted in a Buddhist sutra."
The Morris K. Udall scholarship, won by junior Erin Condit-Bergren, honors Congressman Udall, a champion of the nation's environment, public lands, and natural resources and a fervent advocate of Native American and Alaskan American rights. The scholarship is a national competition for students with career interests in public policy, the environment or Native American issues. The scholarship encourages study in these areas by providing one year's tuition to the student's institution as well as other expenses of study.
"Erin has an impressive background in public advocacy and activism on environmental issues," says mentor and Sarah Lawrence faculty member Charles Zerner. "Intense, eager for hands-on political experience, and poised to pursue a variety of environmentally focused courses at the College, Erin is intellectually engaged, concerned with the practical politics of effective environmental advocacy, and intensely interested in public life." In the fall of 2001, Erin co-founded Sustain US (United States Youth for Sustainable Development), now a national organization with over 500 members in 30 States. Last August she led a six-person delegation to the World Summit on Sustainable Development in Johannesburg, South Africa.

coyote comparing by Tricksters-TaxidermyWatch
©2013-2016 Tricksters-Taxidermy
Got the coyote from Nekomii the other day! he's a big boy, just a hair smaller then my red! When I measured my red coyote he was an astounding 67" long but threw tanning he shrank a bit. I'd bet these guys where the same size in life...
dose anyone know about coyote colors? still trying to figure out what color to call that red (if he is a red...)
here is a picture of the reds paws before I tanned: trickster-of-asgard.deviantart…
dose anyone know about coyote colors? still trying to figure out what color to call that red (if he is a red...)
here is a picture of the reds paws before I tanned: trickster-of-asgard.deviantart…
Is the bottom yote possibly for sale?
no sorry. I mounted it and sold it a long time ago.
I'd call that tawny.
Pretty aint he? He looks better in your photos!!!
He's got such THICK fur on him!!! nun of the yote I've had had this much fur on them! once I mount him I just may keep him...XD
I just call them bronze to be 100% XD I have two like that, and I LOVE them. <3
He looks like a mix rather than a pure red. Here's my red coyote, he doesn't have any silver on him. Very interesting hybrid colour though, he sure is a cutey! Loving the tail on the grey though
They look like normal yotes to me. the top being an eastern probably since they tend to be more red, a true red doesnt have those back markigs. the bottom is probably an alaskan or western yote, ours tend to be more silvery.
interesting. I wonder if it has anything to do with a red wolf population breeding with yotes?
the once we have are rather small (only seen one really big one) and they are really light and silvery though I have seen red coyotes here, just not very many...
You mean red as in tawny coloured wolves right? Red wolves are a species lol but no. I dont know much about coyotes but they arent red or any other colour like that because of wolves. They have different colour phases on their own, if anything, they have domestic dog genetics in them.
I love the silvery coloring on the back of that red coyote. Very pretty <3

Where do you download your doujins from? Most of the time (even with official BL manga) there are only Chinese scans and yeah... not a chance of reading that.
How is the chan doing? Any new regulars? Last couple times I came in it was quiet.
