This is an evil monster who can only be found in the nightmare,call it Hell Growl for the moment! It has furious character and fatal body fluid. In the hell, I assume it must the guardian of the Death.

The Ragged Hydra have been seen mostly in the deepest of caverns. These hellish beasts look like giant fleshy grubs with limbs and 5 heads. Little is known about these beasts, aside from its gigantic size, an appetite for flesh, and a fiery disposition. Many brave adventurers have gone on quests to rid the world of these beast, and few have returned.

Trivia: Of all of Satan's right-hand men, Stuart lasted the least amount of time. His soul was weak, and his body and mind quickly distorted in a feeble attempt to ward off insanity.
Stuart's shortcomings present no problem in his new career: eating things.

The Paris nights are colder then one might think. Even in the summertime it can go below freezing point. Still alot of people defien the temperature and go out for a walk. Thats useually a good idea, Paris offers a good walk for the curious. Though this night is different. This night a beast from hell has escaped its captivity of the underworld and is now unleashed upon the mortal. So as unexpecting people are strolling the streets happily thinking about things like cotton candy and monster trucks, they have no idea that a quick, stealthy and brutal beast from HELL awaits their flesh from above. Paris is going to wake up as a different city tomorrow.

The Hellbeast began as a small evil spirit who managed to capture the souls of weaker life forms.
Throughout time it has grown and grown as it has absorbed the souls of more and more powerful entities. It roams the fires of hell absorbing all who cross its path. The captured souls become part of the beast and constantly push and pull for freedom from its clutches. Once absorbed, none escape though, they struggle against their captor for all eternity.

concept: Hell Worm
This hellish beast has taken out many brave warriors on it's forays through the humans' villages along the shore. It comes at night, directly from the deeps of Hel. No one who has seen it had the chance to tell others what it looks like. It is said to be a 100 foot long worm with a hard shell. Everything it touches burns to the ground in seconds, even the rock it is crawling on.

While in the 9th level of Hell, Dante did not see the Malumvoro. A terrible beast designed for one thing, to gnaw and chew on the sinners frozen in Cocytus.
artist: Piru
concept: The Cow From Hell
Munching the trapped souls in the blazing fires of Hell's planes, the Hellcow is the most common cattle in the land of Lucifer. Just like the casual cow it produces edible fluids... for demons and devils anyway. It is said to taste quite hot!
artist: Joey-b
concept: Belzefer
These creatures are minnions created by lucifer himself, they're kinda like the gardners from hell.
it keeps the magma in hell (and there is allot of it there) hot by dropping extremly hot liquids from it's belly
his energy comes from devouring souls of human beings, wich are provided by mr hotness himself.
this way it keeps the hell nice and hot AND it doesnt get to crowded
artist: Gorgoth of Suburbia
concept: Hellish Spider
The enormous Hellish Spider has two mouths: While the lower one uses its tongues to drain its prey of blood, the upper one is free to mock the victims with hideous gurgling noises.
Although the creature isn't humanoid in shape, it does have distinct human features.
artist: ChenZan
The Herald of Gharra could be heard thousands of miles away. Its path of destruction evident across the northern lands. No military force could stop this city sweepers massive assaults. Its purpose, to clear the land for his master to rule a new world without any opposition, not to mention free will. Its body consist of an amalgalm of twisted and demonic forms. With a perfect defensive conglomeration of tough skin and shell, its insect like legs carry it along while the mini pug hoof legs are used to stomp down upon the fledgling opposition soldiers. For demoliton purposes, its hammerhead like upperhalf can destroy large obelisk and towers in mere moments.
artist: Avatar
concept: Harvester of Souls
The existence of this beast is a mistery even for the Demon Kin. Wandering through the great Burning Planes, from the Peaks of Pain to to the Boiling Pits, the Harvester of Souls uses the Hell as its own feeding grounds. Even the demons believe the beast to be an aberation. It feeds on souls, like many of the demon kin but its feeding is not a result of hunger. The beast itself has been created masochistic in nature with half of it soft and easy to hurt. It balances with an extraordinary power of regeneration and each wounds heals instantaneous. Walking through the burning fields, the Harvester is in constant pain and its screams as a consequence. The scream itself draws nearby souls to the mouth of the beast and in its fiery belly that it said to burn even the essence of soul.
Aldo the demons hate it for its greed they dare not touch it because some said that the Harvester of soul is none other than one of Belial's children.

concept: Stairway to Heaven
I was moving, I knew I was, but there was nothing but darkness on every side. Until I saw a faint glow in the distance, I knew somewhere deep inside that whatever made that faint glow was deadly. But never the less I went towards it and as I got nearer I noticed I was not the only one moving towards the welcome light in the inky blackness of this place.
When I realised just what was making this light I stopped in terror, a gigantic beast producing a faint glow in the darkness from the fire in its belly. And the lost souls of Hell flocked towards it, queuing for centuries to walk up its tongue and into its belly. I tried to stop them, to point out what it was, where they were going. But my efforts were wasted for the glow seemed to have an almost hypnotic effect on them.
"I call it the stairway to heaven..." whispered a chilling voice in my ear. I turned to find nothing, nobody there "That's where they think they are going anyway..." The same voice in my other ear, I spun round again. Nothing.
I looked back at the creature and sank to my knees. Praying that I would never become like those souls.
Next think I knew I woke up in my bed in a cold sweat. Wondering if it was really just a nightmare, or that was what awaited those who wasted their lives...

Profoundly profane, these pests of the underworld scurry underfoot, delight in obscenity, derive sustenance from carnal drippings and are altogether a bad influence on children.

concept: Arachnidolus, Keeper of the damned
Hired by the Devil himself, Arachnidolus is assigned to catch those who might want to escape endless torture they have been comndemned to. His insect features makes him incredibly fast and agile to navigate in hell's underground tunnels. DEADLY!!!

concept: Hell's Wrath
From the portals of hell come creatures of unimaginable power. Each guards an entrance to the underworld. Only the dead may pass undetected.
artist: Chris Noeth
'Urukashur', a genetically engineered creature from an alien warrior race was sent to earth where it killed every human beeing. Since this time the creature lives on earth and is taken to other planets from time to time by it's creators to kill their enemies. The rest of the universe knows the creature only as "The hellish beast".

concept: Hellsteed
Illustration and Excerpt from El Infierno, by Javier Sabado Domingo
"Hellsteed Riders on the Plain of Ash"
Hellsteeds are preferred mounts of the legions of Hell. They have the bodies of horses, but their skulls are hideous arcs of flesh and bone, bristling with fins and protuberances and ablaze with two dozen eyes, all covered in an insect-like armor carapace. There are slots and gills in this carapace, through which the beast draws its breath, and from which it often emits spouts of flame and clouds of smoke, especially when in a state of excitement or aggravation. Their tails are thick and scaled like that of a crocodile, and held aloft to counterbalance the enormous skull. Wicked barbs protrude from each of their ankles, and their hooves are made from Hell-rock itself, and are impervious to flame and magma.
Despite the commonness of their use in Hell, Hellsteeds really must be a pain in the arse when it comes to riding them. Their great pointed heads rise right up into the line of sight of whatever demon happens to be riding them, so he has to crane his neck and peer to either side of it, and often as not he gets a faceful of flame and smoke emitted from the damn thing's gills. Couple that with the beasts' foul tempers and the lack of saddles, and you've got a real [illegible][i]. But, if the beasts of burden were easy and tame, 'twouldn't be Hell.
Javier Sabado Domingo, commonly called the Mad Spaniard, was a notorious theologian of the late nineteenth centrury. His only published work, El Infierno, is a description of Hell second in importance only to Dante's work of the same name. The vividness of his illustrations and descriptions led church officials to brand him as a Satan worshipper. Reports on his unusual habits and behavior would seem to support that claim; for example, he had to dictate the text of El Infierno to one of his disciples, for it is said that every time he put a pen to paper to write his hand would take on a mind of its own and spew out evil characters. If this is true, it apparently did not affect his drawings and illustrations.
We should note that there is a small controversy over the title of this particular piece. Specifically, over whether Domingo said "Plane" or "Plain" when dictating the text. We have chosen to use the traditional wording with "Plain," but we do not guarantee its accuracy.

concept: Hellfish
It's a common misconception that hell is all fire and no water. There is indeed water, but you really don't want to go in it. The newbies fall for it every time.

The KURSXTAQUN beast is believed to be the mother of Hellfire. Even the strongest demons will burn up if they get too close to her.

concept: Anthrax's whelp
"... every sin has its punishment"
Archangel Turius' brief to Rabyzzof, superintendient of hell's third ring.
Anthrax' whelps - the smallest of hellish monsters. Their duty is to punish people for their lewd thoughts. They usually occupy skin of sinner's head, where pick up dirty thoughts. Every finding is "rewarded" by liquid wastes, causing pimples. In radical situations result may be abscess. Creatures received in hell with a nickname "bane of teenagers' life".
artist: Cique
"Around the throne were four living creatures full of eyes before and behind.
4:7 The first creature was like a lion, and the second creature like a calf, and the third creature had a face like a man, and the fourth was like a flying eagle.
6:7 When he opened the fourth seal, I heard the fourth living creature saying, "Come and see!"
6:8 And behold, a pale horse, and he who sat on it, his name was Death. Hades followed with him. Authority over one fourth of the earth, to kill with the sword, with famine, with death, and by the wild animals of the earth was given to him."
(Book of Revelations)
artist: xgabo
When he arrived here he was all but a boy, brash and cocky, his every step ripping hairline cracks in the black obsidian void. The glow of his pale white skin hurt the perfect darkness pulsing in front of him, but he did not care. Without ceremony, he started carving the nothingness with his sharp nails, making a home for himself. The residues and excrements falling from his careless handwork he called Daemonica... like a twisted artist drawing from his own experiences, these creatures were inspired by the life he knew before, but poisoned by his tragic fall out of grace. They were bitter angels.
Soon, from the amorphic chaos, true order was born. His house was a mirror image of heaven, and like heaven, perfect in every way. But he was not happy. How could he ever be? he was away from the light, forever. As easily as the underworld was made into his kingdom, his pure sadness was made into fury; A fury so intense it set his house on fire. He sat on his throne, and his throne became a hellish beast, one so terrible he himself could not ride at first, for it was the incarnation of his own dark revenge, and he was afraid of it.
It took him awhile to grow up into what he is today, and understand what he had to do. When he came again to the beast, it recognized its true master. It slowly descended its horns to the ground and let him ride for the first time. Together they travelled the four corners of the domain, poisoning the rivers and burning the trees, and then beyond, waging war on other fallen angels. When he came back he was king, his demonic horse followed by legions of the scattered damned, now united under a single banner. tied to the tusks of the beast were two of his former angelic companions, as a reminder that nothing would be sacred again in this place.
artist: Bendragon
concept: The Minuonerasco
Every sixty six millennia the rulers of Hell and Heaven engages in a war for all the fallen souls. When the blood of Hell's master is spilled and enters the Earth's soil, the Minuonerasco is born. Their lifespan will depend on the victor of the greatest war in the spiritual dimension. They feed on the life-force of their dark master. If the tyrant of Hell was to become victorious the Minuonerasco will be free to torment the children of the Earth with their hellish aura. The pale glow of their unlidded eye is hideous sign. The glare pierces through flesh into a man's soul as he cringe in all the memories of his sin, knowing that he is naked to these beasts.
artist: MikeCorriero
concept: The Grimshaw
The Grimshaw are heavily armored beast of burden. They are all manifestations of the demonic hordes that mutilate these already horrifying brutes. In the wastelands Grimshaw's are accompanied by a rider and rigged with chains, metal and gears all intermingled with the flesh of this undead giant. They spread disease and plague to the open lands of hell, causing death to the fertile portions of this dense terrain.
Grimshaw's are practically unstoppable unless torn apart, and that's only if you can get past their continuous spewing of refurbished bone pellets. Within a mouth full of razor sharp rows of mangled teeth protruding through multiple layers of bone and jaws sits a mound of regurgitated souls waiting to be projected at weary victims. The undergrounds are controlled by these beasts in monstrous hordes as they rampage and torment the lost, scared and sinners within it's realm.
artist: Beelow
concept: Cave Digger
The Cave Digger is a giant hulking mass of Bone and rock. It digs through rock and feeds on it as well. It deposites the minerals of the rock to its skin, giving the skin its strength to withstand almost anything that is thrown at it. It has been known to have destroyed great cities by sinking them into the ground. Usually, this beast remains dormant in hibernation for centuries until its next feeding.

concept: Mungerill
This creature is a runtish relative of the true hellhound....blind at birth, it relies on its 'tail' which senses the new meat in hell to seek out its prey...pinning them down to feed on the suffering of the damned....it then passes this dark nourishment on to its hellish litter,,,,,,,

concept: Riverfiend
Deep in Hell lies the Erebus river, a grim causeway of flaming blood wending its way between two tiers of the damned. Along its banks lurk the Riverfiends, preying upon those souls foolish enough to try and escape their torments by diving into its conflagrated flow.
The hapless victims of the Riverfiend are eaten, digested, and then rejuvenated within the Riverfiend's enormous egg-swollen abdomen. They are horribly reborn attached to the monster's young by a placenta-like umbilical, unable to get away as they are fed upon over and over again by the horde of spider-like spawn.
artist: Supervlieg
concept: The Gritter
(No latin name available)
The gritters await all those entering hell. They attack the damned in large numbers and strip their victims of all their burning flesh within seconds. In old folk tales the gritters are often described as the cleaners from hell. They have a lust for flesh that is unquenchable. They truly can get no satisfaction. It is unknown whether the gritters procreate or wether they have been in the same numbers since the beginning of hell. Some say all arthropods descent from the gritters in one way or the other. No proof of this has ever been found, because no live human has ever come face to face with the gritters.
artist: Matt Dixon
The beasts of Hell have no names. These blind, lumbering creatures endlessly wander the shattered mountains of the forsaken land; their swollen, sightless bodies forever torn and battered by the cruel rocks as they stumble through an eternity of torment. Ever they bellow in pain, cry in despair and roar in anger and their howls echo across the Nine Circles. Their terrible lament is a soundtrack of suffering - these are the musicians of Hell.
artist: Lodin
concept: Amok'n'Ulash
The shepherd dog of Diablotins
In the First hell, plane of diablotins, Amok'nUlash is the guard of the gate. When the Archdevil of the plane command to gathered his strenght, Amok is the gardianship of diablotin's discipline. With his metamorph capacity, he can create any members to welt, slash or kill the little rebels.
artist: Xpose
The Hell chaser chases the damned souls of hell from the outskirts of hell back into the fiery abyss. Sometimes they like to let the souls get far out before they start their attack just so they can smash the souls hopes even more. With these on the prowl, the is no escape.

concept: The Hell Mantle Hound
The Hell Mantle Hound is formed from hardened magma (dont know the correct scientific name) found inside hell's deepest pits. Satan commands The Hell Mantle Hounds to patrol hell's damned caverns. The Hell Mantle Hound is extremely tough and hard wearing since it is made from one of the most toughest rocks on earth, hardened magma. The only well to fully destory a Hell Mantle Hound, is to cast it back into the magma, for which it was created from.
artist: Purgatorio
For this, I imagined a insect-like, winged beast that would fly across the twisted landscape of hell, scooping up souls where he finds them with its long, skeletal arms. 4 times the size of a human, its victims would hear the loud, sickening buzz of its wings as it draws closer to them. Grasping its prey in its blackened, disease infested limbs, this particular hell beast would take its time to gnaw on the damned. Always hungry, never satisfied.
artist: Skolld
Rippers patrol the lower levels of Hades, extremely fast and with a dutiful disposition toward disembowment they are one of the most feared inhbitants of the underworld.

concept: Infernalis Canine Comedia
The story behind this little critter is that the devils of hell was bored one day, so the molded out of the flesh of fallen dogs a devilously bad looking beast, with a really big jaw to make it all worth the while, these days the critter runs around anoying there masters, but them devils sure got a big laugh when the first victims flew away from these funny looking beasts with terror in there faces.
artist: Stephan_R
These hellish beast spawn from the hand of death. They waddle around for sinners and souls that need a proper place. Every now and then they'll swallow whatever is in their way. These creatures have molten fire for blood, and a toxic breathe of smoke that will incapacitate its prey.
artist: hurricane
concept: caelum aeternus custos
The eternal guards of heaven, theese guardians patrol the border of the heaven, keeping all the angels and good-doers out of earth and hell.
It is one of the reasons why the phrase "if God exists, why am i in this position?!!" exists, the caelum aeternus custos is hindering the deeds of angels by destroying it. The light on their back is devine light wich attracts the goodness and then devours it.
artist: ArtZealot
Nearly seven feet to the hunch of it's back, this fallen angel, neither good nor evil was cast out of heaven and banished to an eternity in pergatory only after the end of times on earth. The demon has been worshipped as a god by several tribes of South America. Many stories are told about it but few have actually seen it due to it's hibernation cycle in which it buries itself in the silt deposits of the amazon river, where it often slumbers for centuries at a time. Little else is known about this beast except that it is one of the few demons who do not wish to harm or posess humans. Shamen have allegedly had out of body experiences and spoke with the beast and learned that the demon would rather use it's immortality to simply observe the history of the earth from beginning to end than cause chaos to it's inhabitants. The nameless beast doomed for eternity waits one seemingly eternity on earth, only to live another in it's cursed form in the middleground between heaven and hell because it is neither good nor evil and is welcome nowhere.

concept: Soul Seeker
This dog like creature rummages through hell collecting souls which have taken refuge in the various nooks and crannies of hell, hiding from the demons who are to torment them. The Soul Seeker uses the eyes and ears of the souls it collects to scower the deepest darkest caves in hell. If a soul is found, the Soul Seeker will eat it in one bite, where the soul will find itself becoming part of the soul seeker, aiding it to find other poor souls...

Because of the insane number of good entries I will not talk about everyone here...
The decision for the vote was not an easy one.
I said it before I love the art of Matt Dixon and his quicky looks great. But my vote goes to MikeCorriero because his image is a light one with perfect technique and the white is a good contrast to the dark theme of COW 66. It would not be fair to vote allways for Matt and because it was a quicky this time... my vote goes to Mike... hehe
Insane entries everyone!

I just ordered one of the Australian L1A1 kits from I.O. Inc, and I was wondering if it would be possible to modify a South African barrel to fit the Century Inch Receiver I plan to use.
Would this be a good idea or are there cheaper alternatives?
By the way, how much are the Century 100% kits anyway? I've heard around $200 but I can't be sure because they have the idiotic policy of not making their prices public, and I'm not driving out to my local dealer just to check.

Gardening Articles: Flowers :: Annuals
The Begonia Show-Offs
by Chuck Anderson with Laurel Taylor
Start dormant tubers in February, or buy started plants in March. Plants will be in bloom by late June
Seemingly infinite variety characterizes the genus Begonia. Plants can be long-stemmed or low-growing, have fuzzy or shiny leaves, and produce large flowers or ones so insignificant as to be almost invisible. Probably the most prized, though not the most widely grown, are tuberous begonias, whose name belies their fulsome displays of mid- to late-summer bloom. The flowers often resemble roses or carnations, and they rarely disappoint growers.
"In my garden I always have begonias," says Steven Frowine, respected consultant to the horticulture industry. "They come in strong primary colors and great pastels, and they bloom constantly, from summer until frost. I don't know of anything else with the same combination of flower size and shape that blooms in the shade."
Over the years, breeders have developed strains of tuberous begonias (B. tuberhybrida) that feature ruffled double flowers and "rose form" blooms, and some types have flowers that look like carnations or double camellias. Colors range from white through yellow, orange, apricot, pink, and red. Some have bicolor petals, such as white with a pink edge or yellow with a red edge. Begonias with petals that are edged in lighter or darker colors are called picotee.
What to Look for When You Buy
Buy dormant tubers in winter, either by mail from a specialty nursery or from a nursery or garden center. Another possibility is to buy blooming plants in summer. (By the way, tuber size does not predict plant or flower size.)
Most gardeners buy dormant tubers, which are easier to grow than seed and less expensive than blooming plants. Tubers are also usually easier to find than blooming plants. Although it's possible to find tubers in nurseries in regions where they grow successfully, the best selection is from specialty dealers. Most of their plants have been grown from seed strains carefully bred for high-quality flowers.
Certain dealers also sell named varieties grown from stem cuttings, such as 'Avalanche', 'Bonfire' and 'Falstaff'. These are considerably more expensive because the supply is limited and cutting-grown tubers take longer to reach an appropriate size for sale.
Many gardeners shy away from tuberous begonias because of their reputation for being difficult to grow. They really aren't. Although travelers discovered the ancestors of these beauties in the Andes Mountains in the mid-nineteenth century, more than half of the United States has microclimates or growing conditions that can sustain tuberous begonias.
Tips for Successful Growing
"It doesn't matter whether you're on a mountain or in a desert. Just remember the three conditions: day temperature, night temperature, and humidity," notes Skip Antonelli, second-generation proprietor of the begonia grower Antonelli Brothers. (As with most frost-tender bulbs, you can also grow tuberous begonias indoors in containers, or dig up the tubers in the fall and store them inside over the winter.)

I am honoured to be patron to the Independent Film Trust with its aim to promote the careers and projects of emerging film-makers who might otherwise have a much more difficult time bringing their work to the forefront of the industry, more so than other independent film-makers.
Tim Roth
Actor - Rosencrantz & Guildenstern Are Dead, Reservoir Dogs, Rob Roy, The Legend of 1900, Youth Without Youth
I think that anything that provides a source of support or provides opportunities for independent films is incredibly worthwhile. In an industry that sometimes seems like all the doors are closed, any help that can be provided to independent film-makers is great.
Joe Oppenheimer
Development Producer - Shooting Dogs, Eastern Promises / Executive Producer - The First Grader, Shadow Dancer
The independent film sector contains very many talented people who need help to learn and advance their craft. This is what the Independent Film Trust has been set up to do.
Ray Winstone
Actor - Scum, The Proposition, Nil by Mouth, Sexy Beast, The Departed, Beowulf
With the support of the Independent Film Trust, the BIFAs and Raindance have become part of the landscape of British cinema. It's hard to believe that they were set up only a few years ago. They are three of the most important champions of independent cinema in Britain.
Michael Winterbottom
Director - 24 Hour Party People, A Cock and Bull Story, The Road to Guantanamo, A Mighty Heart, The Shock Doctrine
We have in the UK so many talented, established and perhaps most importantly emerging young film-makers. It is towards the latter that the Independent Film Trust is perhaps of most use. It is the independent sector on which we all need to concentrate and, therefore, I wish the IFT every possible success and I offer them my full support.
David Suchet
Actor - Maxwell, Poirot, The Way We Live Now, Great Expectations
Most new film-makers need support in order to develop their talent and share it with the world. The Independent Film Trust exists in order to ease that process.
Michael Caton-Jones
Director - Scandal, Memphis Belle, Rob Roy, Shooting Dogs
Please support Raindance and help ensure the future of independent film-making in this country.
Jonathan Pryce
Actor - Brazil, Glengarry Glen Ross, Evita, Tomorrow Never Dies, Pirates of the Caribbean
About the IFT
The Independent Film Trust is a UK charity which was set up to advance the cause of independent film-making by various means.
We support initiatives that encourage interest in film production and help emerging film-makers to develop and express themselves.
Our activities include the provision of training for the disadvantaged and scholarships for those who have shown talent but need monetary or other help.
However, we do not fund the development or production of individual films.
We work with groups such as Raindance and BIFA to find and showcase the best in independent film, to promote innovation and to celebrate the vitality and diversity of the sector.

In the wake of the mainstream media's latest attack on the 2nd Amendment care of Bob Costas and Piers Morgan, I bring you an absolutely phenomenal article by Charles Cook. This man destroys Piers in a manner I thought only Jesse Ventura capable of.
As conservatives including myself never tire of pointing out to the uninitiated, the not-unrelated notions that the Second Amendment is either a historical anomaly or that it only applies to, say, hunters are both arrant nonsense. You won't hear this in school, kids, but the right to bear arms is an issue that not only predates the Second Amendment by a matter of centuries, but one that strikes at the very heart of the relationship between the citizen and the state. Free men who control the government can, of course, bear arms. Slaves cannot. The distinction is crucial, as Dred Scott discovered.
– Charles Cook
Just read this article. Fantastic work.
In Liberty,

Located in Pembroke Pines Florida, North Perry Airport is unique to South Florida general aviation in that it has two sets of parallel runways. The Airport is home to numerous flight schools, banner towing operators, aircraft and helicopter sales and repair stations, and several non-aviation related facilities such as Broward Community College, Broward County Mosquito Control, several community recreation facilities, and a City of Pembroke Pines Fire Station.
The creation of North Perry Airport reverts back to the days of World War II when in 1940; the Navy rented 400 acres of land from Henry Perry and turned it into an emergency landing grass strip.
By 1943 the Navy purchased 640 square acres of land from Mr. Perry and opened it as a training station for pilots from Miami's naval base to learn how to land on Navy aircraft carriers. North Perry was the training station for many pilots including the future President of the United States, George Bush.
Post World War II, the airfield was acquired by Broward County in 1950.More...

Mike & Ike were totally absent from my childhood, like a pair of dysfunctional friends who said they'd site with me during lunch but didn't. I got my first taste of Mike & Ike during high school and was annoyed as to what I was missing out on all these years. I have been a faithful devotee to the regular mix and it wasn't until recently I branched out into the other flavor offerings. The Tangy Twister mix with its cheery bright orange box and promising flavors begged to be first in line.
I was so looking forward to trying this Tangy Twister blend because of the pineapple flavor. So when I brought my movie sized box home and opened it up to eat I discovered that I had one pineapple in the whole box. Talk about disappointed!
Cherry: Very tart and oddly enough, reads as a "candy" cherry flavor but not as a bad "medicinal" one. The sourness lingers so the sweetness typical of Mike & Ike didn't really last for very long.
Raspberry: A really nice raspberry flavor that has a strong juiciness to it with good floral and fruity notes. It's not too tart, but just enough for it to taste authentic. It was nice how this mimicked the way real berries always have that little sourness before turning sweet.
Orange Punch: Oh, this is strange. It does taste fruity but not of oranges. It is very punch-like with a tropical essence to it as if passion fruit and limes were in there. Maybe it's labeled orange because of the color?
Pineapple: Wow, This one is so extremely good. It tastes exactly like pineapple with a burst of zesty sweetness and a slight pine-y bite to it. Simply amazing. I need to buy another box to get more of these. I'm not kidding.
Apple: Tart, juicy and is very zesty and a little sweet. A nice sour apple flavor that isn't overly artificial.
I liked this mix and will certainly pick it up again. I'm just hoping my flavor mix is a little more even next time.
Rating: Will Buy Again

Rated 2 out of 5 by 1 reviewer.
Rated 2 out of 5 by Disappointed DON'T EXPECT BLUE!! The pattern is really nice with the birds, squirrels, owls, etc., BUT IT IS NOT EVEN REMOTELY BLUE! It is cream/tan with the dark brown background. I thought they must have sent me the wrong color, but the back of the rug even has a lable attached saying it is "Blue". Our entire family laughs at how they can even label it blue. Totally cream. It still is nice, just the wrong color. There isn't even a cream colored one of these for sale, only the "blue" and "pink". I wondered if they sent me the "pink" one, but again, it isn't even pink at all. Disappointing becasue I wanted the blue color. I cannot take it back to the store because it is online only, and it states on the return slip that I must pay shipping if I want to return it. :( October 15, 2012

ZF-4085: wrong xml encoding detection mechanism in Zend_Translate_Adapter_Xliff throwing Zend_Translate_Exception: XML error: No error at line 0
If you use the following header for xliff files: <?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8'?> instead of <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> (i.e. single quotes instead of double quotes for "enconding" attribute value) you end up with the following exception: Fatal error: Uncaught exception 'Zend_Translate_Exception' with message 'XML error: No error at line 0' in /home/remy/my_php/ZendFramework-1.5.3/library/Zend/Translate/Adapter/Xliff.php:97 Stack trace:
0 ZendFramework-1.5.3/library/Zend/Translate/Adapter.php(406): Zend_Translate_Adapter_Xliff->_loadTranslationData('../application/...', 'en', Array)
My xliff file has been generated by translate-toolkit (part of pootle project), using po2xliff python script. At first I thought that all attribute values had to be wrapped into double quotes (cf. http://bugs.locamotion.org/show_bug.cgi?id=492) but single quotes appear to be legal too (cf. http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-xml/#NT-EncodingDecl).
Error comes from Zend_Translate_Adapter_Xliff->_findEncoding() method which tries to extract xml encoding from xliff file, but expect encoding value to be wrapped using double-quotes: line 195: $encoding = substr($encoding, 0, strpos($encoding, '"'));
One solution could be "$encoding = substr($encoding, 0, min(strpos($encoding, '"'), strpos($encoding, "'")));" since no single quote is to be found in any valid encoding value.
Regards, Remy
Oups! my suggested solution does not work. (one of the two min() arguments may be false and then return 0). The following one works (it detects opening char (" or ') and look for corresponding closing one): [old] $encoding = substr($file, strpos($file, "encoding") + 10); $encoding = substr($encoding, 0, strpos($encoding, '"')); [new] $encoding = substr($file, strpos($file, "encoding") + 9); $encoding = substr($encoding, 1, strpos($encoding, $encoding[0]));
Regards, Remy
Fixed with r11088.
PS: Given solution code does not work.
thx. I saw it too, I attached a working solution as comment #1 Cheers
Both of your solutions do not work :-) Look at trunk.. your encoding is ALWAYS empty as you must add an offset of 1 to the strpos in the second line. Otherwise it will be substr() from 1 to 0 which is empty :-)
You're 100% right, shame on me :P
I forgot to add "1" as offset on my second strpos.
$encoding = substr($file, strpos($file, "encoding") + 9); $encoding = substr($encoding, 1, strpos($encoding, $encoding[0], 1));
Thanks for your vigileance :) Remy

ello eve. How are you my favorite british friend?
After many days of hounding via aim, people were telling me i MUST respond to Xion. He does deserve it, so i'll give him the response he wants. I only planned to come back 2 more times for 2 events but sure why not make 3. I'm glad this thread was healing the rest of you
Oh how quickly they turn . Listen Xion, i didn't classify 4 people as vultureS. If you said vulturING instead of plural vultures, i might be on the same page as you.You don't see any vultures because you were too caught up in the belief that you're some kind of supreme being to notice.
I talked to you 2 months before and you were tired of this same bullshit too. My main outrage comes from how fast you rolled over.I went with him in that scuffle because he was the lesser of two evils.
Again, shortly before this, you agreed with me. 2 opposing sides can't be wrong. If you thought both were wrong you'd stay neutral.I never said Dogar was right, but your side was much more in the wrong.
Thanks for agreeing.While it was in the first thread, it was fine, there was no problem that this was going on.
Your beef is with Dogar and Squid then, maybe God or Walrus too. I never started this. I participated, but i never started it in any thread. Just like everyone else, you miss the first half of that scuffle where i tried to defuse the situation by playing nice with Dogar. This is an overall part of why i don't like it here now. People just take halves of messages or just ignore things. Instead of trying to understand they try to win.Once you and a few others moved it, by purposely calling him out and harassing him in other threads, that's when you became wrong.
The nerve? Dogar deserves far worse from me than a simple "this shit is annoying <long post>". Plus how can i vulture a dude that didn't participate? Dogar was done in 4 posts maybe 5. It was God after that. I can't vulture someone that didn't exist. I was arguing with Tim, get your facts straight and stop using half of an event to generalize the rest.That's why I called you vultures, because you had the nerve to chase him into other threads berating him, when you charged Dogar of pushing Squid to retaliate.
I charged him with being a fucktard that runs his mouth then plays it off. Are you saying i said ur gay then had my friend defend me while i talked about pooping? Yet more EXTREME!? I'm sorry man, this just didn't happen.In simple terms, you copied exactly what you charged, yet magnified it.
Please read what i say better. I tore down the word because people, people like you now, sling it around at the first chance they get. I try my best not to do anything Dogar does so i can't see how i convicted him of something then did it myself. Plus you are yet to say what i charged him with so who the hell knows what you're even referring to.Good job, you gave us a prime example of a word that you tore down yourself. Hypocrite.
This is a joke right? Who am i forgetting when i'm pissed at the big men? I'm handling my shit Xion. I get mad at someone that is a legal superior and i take it up with them. I handled it fine. As far as points go, i gave you guys several points on the old forum. The reason i give up now is because i tried to do something about this before hand, and no one listened. After no one listened, people were PMing/IMing me EXPECTING me to do something. They'd say "you're an admin you have authority". I challenge Dogar and i get "buy me out". There's really nothing i can do. People need to stop relying on me. My points are in the old threads about the new forum go read instead of accusing me of something that i don't need to repeat for once to dismantle.People with the power to change it didn't listen to you, many people on here considered that option, and many other things you've said. Don't forget us when you're just pissed at the big men. Then again, it would've helped if you gave us points, instead of just asking to rotate places with Dogar.
Was that at me? I read all my own stuff. If your saying i'm making a big problem out of something then so what. That's not hypocrisy if you're trying to flag it. This WAS a big deal to me. People were pissing me off and i had to tell them instead of randomly vanishing like i usually do. Be thankful i let everyone know.I want to leave this in here since it deserves to be seen again. If you didn't read it before, read it now.
If it wasn't at me, then you're right make sure everyone see's that because people overinflate stupid crap.
And? I clearly stated at the top i'd open old topics. I don't see the problem here, you're just trying to tear more things down because you think you can.You're a wee bit behind on this notice. This issue was resolved quite a while back.
It's what i have to tell myself so i can let this go, i thought that was obvious. I'm deeply attached to this place, that's why i used to try so hard.The forum is the way we communicate. And yes, we do happen to be real. I doubt you would've stayed around this long for anyone fake.
I get mad at you once and you speak for everyone like they forsaken me. You're the only one that acts like i'm dead to you, so read around the thread a bit. For a while now most of my posts did seem to get skipped, especially my awesome blog thread. That pissed me off pretty bad. When some people demand higher thinking and quality on a forum, i deliver and people only respond or read if they can relate in the first few sentences. No one tries to expand their minds anymore.We put stock into what you say since we do actually care about what you have to say, since many of us regarded you highly, at one time.
I pull off the arrogance act once and you make it seem like it's all i do. Your reasons are valid but i'm still going to shred them. If i am better than anyone here it's because of age and wisdom. It's not fair when i'm an adult and i argue with people, many of them which are 3-5 years younger than me. Just by logic alone i have more to work with in terms of experience and developed thinking. Don't feel bad that i condescend once and have something truthful to it.I'm challenging you with valid reasons, and you're not better than all of us.
I'm not leaving because some of them can't. I'm leaving because most of them can't, and it happens so often you'd be shocked at the level of density some people have in their skulls. When it gets to the point where you can't get someone to even acknowledge some points, it gets infuriating. You speak something, they just ignore it. I mean surely you've seen it in some of my debate style posts. I'll list 10 points and 2 get addressed, not even full points just half of the sentence. Everyone does this here, i can't handle that.There's still a lot of people here who can learn something from the events that go on, leaving because some of them can't is just idiotic.
I still do. I just say i don't because that makes it easier for me to leave it.Because at one time you gave half a fuck about some of the people here.
I really didn't plan to. Tim and kg were telling me more than a few times to come check what you said so i buckeled, you're probably the only person that deserves that from me.Then again, you probably won't even use your time to reply to this
I'm just on an entirely different level, take that any way you want.since it sounds like you're too good for us
You're wrong on a lot of it. I have earned the right to be arrogant at least once in my life.I may be wrong, I'm just supposing that because the amount of self-centered arrogance in this post of yours is astounding.
I have inspired more people to repatch the wounds than leave so i should be getting thanked. Nanaki still has an open apology to god and dogar i think that neither of them took up yet.Oh, and a last message that isn't a response to the quote. If anyone else wants to leave, say so here and take your shit with you.
@ks- you're just a bitch and your girls a bitch too. i see her blowing out smoke and that is so damn unattractive you obviously have no standards. I'm happy you didn't deny the rest of what i said though
@eve- yea you're safe.
@cl- i included you as a peeki type person, you're safe.
@the rest- i'm glad you take this so lightly, since a majority of you piss me off.
@luna- i said this before. you talk a lot of shit and laugh, then someone else pushes you back and you get way bitter. it's hilarious that you can't take what you give.
@em- yea you're fine.
@walrus- look i never said you did any of those things i said that's what people told me. if you want to let online people ruin your fun go for it, because i certainly let them ruin mine.
honestly don't put stock into this stuff guys. say "sticks and stones" or something equally retarded and move on. the reason i say dont care about online people is because what the hell can they do to you? talk shit and block you wooooooow.
hey if anyone wants to take over the pseudo blog they can, i hope you do better with it than i did. rename it or something too. maybe i can leave behind a legacy with that i better be in the eventual wiki too, i'd come check that.
Fullmetal, if your so pissed off, maybe issue out a few deserving WARNINGs and BANs and be done with it. Your reasons are completely valid, and deserve to be heard, but a lot of people here still respect you, a lot more than you think. Some people only come here to read your posts (including me)
Look, we all know people can be bitches, but you can't leave because of that. Like you said, "Just say sticks and stones or something equally retarded and be done with it." Come on Fullmetal. Look, the majority of people your arguing with need some advice. Like you said, "You can't let people online get to you." That's exactly what your doing. I'm not saying I disagree with your points, I'm saying your going about doing all wrong.
But, whatever, it's your choice. If you wanna leave, be my guest. Just saying that everyone here will miss you, and everyone here will admit that, or they're just being stuck up bitches.
I don't mean to start an extra arguement with you, just saying. Like you say. "MAN THAT SHIT UP!"
When the Devil is too busy
And Death's a bit too much
They call on me by name you see,
For my special touch.
Adam, you're still cool in my yellow pages.
You calling me a psuedo otaku, is that good?
I could defeat Fullmetal in a fight.
"I'll go," said Chagataev. "But what will I do there? Build socialism?"
"What else?" said the secretary.
Tim although I don't think you could it would be a tie that's beside the point.
Your just trying to get a reason to get mad at my fullmetal.@luna- i said this before. you talk a lot of shit and laugh, then someone else pushes you back and you get way bitter. it's hilarious that you can't take what you give.
Yea! Why is everyone ganging up on Fullmetal all of a sudden? What did he do?
I think Tim would win Adam in a fist fight, but not a verbal argument.
I would beat him in a verbal argument then to rub it in I'd punch his teeth out.
"I'll go," said Chagataev. "But what will I do there? Build socialism?"
"What else?" said the secretary.
I can see a lot of your points, Adam, but I don't see the logic in telling me not to be bothered by online people when you let people bother you. Do as I say, not as I do?
Also:This really confuses me. You tell Xion that you're not better than anyone else, just like he said, and then you turn around and give points as to how you are? Either say it one way or another.If i am better than anyone here it's because of age and wisdom. It's not fair when i'm an adult and i argue with people, many of them which are 3-5 years younger than me. Just by logic alone i have more to work with in terms of experience and developed thinking. Don't feel bad that i condescend once and have something truthful to it.
I don't hold any beef against you, so don't take this as an attack. I'm just pointing these things out solely in goodwill. By the way, I'm not ignoring the other points of your posts. I have read them, and the points I've outlined are the ones I want to address the most. I'm not ignoring them.

While he's on the ground I would kick him in the throat.
"I'll go," said Chagataev. "But what will I do there? Build socialism?"
"What else?" said the secretary.
Yea but Adam has the power of me on his side. Oh wait, thats a con not a pro...
I thought you were cool with Adam, Tim?
No, he probably is, but feels the need to flaunt his gigantic ego.
Yea, that's it. He does because he can because he's paying for this so he's the boss of the applesauce.
I can bite him on the back... I did that to my bestfriend in 4th grade and she wouldn't talk to be more a year.
Nice. Give him some of this Tim!
I hate Fullmetal chrizz. He is a right slapper.

Other than basic general tools, what kind and type of AR specific tools do you recommend for the first time AR owner? I have built a few AK's and worked on countless milsurps, but this is my first rodeo with the AR platform.
My starter rifle is a carbine length upper from RedX with SS heavier barrel, basic hand guard, single rail gas block, and flat top. I does not come with threaded barrel or flash hider.

Dear Fido,
The first piece of bad news I must deliver is that if I adopted you, I'd call you Rover or Spot or, yes, Fido instead of one of those cool dog names like Lola or Rufus.
Which may make you feel better about my second piece of bad news, which is that I'm not adopting you. Ever.
I thought it was going to happen, I really did. Not when my three kids were little, but when they were preteens and adolescents. As Nora Ephron famously said, when your kids hit that age, "it's important to have a dog so that someone in the house is happy to see you."
But my husband and kids couldn't nix the idea fast enough. Even when I offered to do all the walking and feeding, they showed as much enthusiasm as if I'd said I was thinking of buying a Kelly bag.
So instead of adopting you, I bought myself a Kelly bag. Metaphorically, I mean. I signed up for a writing class in the city. A bunch of us later morphed into a writing group, complete with dinners at one another's far-flung houses. I stepped up my career. Lost a bunch of weight and gained it again, three or four times, which, let me tell you, is a lot more work than teaching a puppy to pee outdoors.
After my kids left home, I revisited the adoption idea. For the price of a dog license, I could fill my home with those things that husbands so rarely provide: wordless adoration, unconditional acceptance, a willingness to snuggle with no expectation of sexual payback.
But I couldn't deny the realities. You would bark. You would chew up my Prada shoes, if I had Prada shoes. And inevitably you would poop. And I would be the one with a plastic bag on my hand, picking it up. Or, you know, scrubbing it out of the carpet. The thought of all that makes my palms sweat, because it feels a lot like having a baby again.
As much as I'd love to relive a day—OK, an hour—of my children's infancies, I do not miss the 24/7 reality. I'm not supposed to admit this, but I often felt overwhelmed and oppressed by parenting my human babies, even though I would have unthinkingly laid down my life for them. You? Sorry, Fido, but no one's taking any bullets.
The fact is, I'm ready to reclaim my freedom. And I have only a limited time to revel in it: 10 or 15 years—the span of a dog's life, come to think of it—when I can realistically count on being healthy and energetic and productive and cogent. I don't want to spend a minute of it picking up dog poop.
I need to get out of the mom jeans and into the kinds of chic black clothes that are hell with dog hair. After decades of falling asleep at 9 on Saturday nights, I need to invite friends for dinner—without having to apologize for your sticking your nose in somebody's crotch (you know you would).
So I'm sorry, Fido, but I'm not going to adopt you. Some nice person who's reading this may shake her head and feel sad that I'm missing so much dog joy, and she may be right. There's a lot to be said for companionship and commitment. But for me, for now, there's more to be said for having a great pair of heels and a life that goes with them.

While the banding ability was never actually removed from the game, no cards have been printed that use the ability in any set following sixth edition and it has never appeared on any rules summary I've seen from the past several years. Why is this? I've heard it's because the ability was 'too complicated'. What exactly was so complicated about it that might have encouraged its extinction? What is a good situation/example that demonstrates why it was probably exiled from the game?
Sign up

Take it from the horse's mouth:
Banding was an ability that was flavorful and simple enough in the simple cases. But when you left the simple cases and got into more unusual situations, the rules suddenly became very complex, unintuitive, and opaque. You wind up with a mechanic that cannot be understood or accurately applied simply by reading the text on the card and applying your general rules knowledge. Instead, you have to know a whole bunch of banding-specific rulings, and hope you have a copy of the comp rules handy if it ever comes up.
And all of this complexity is maintained for a mechanic that rarely actually mattered. I could be wrong, but I don't believe there is any card with banding that has ever been a tournament staple. Under these conditions, the best choice is the one that Wizards made, which is to let banding lay fallow and pretend the whole thing never happened.
The current official reminder text for Banding is as follows:
Yes, it's taken them 20 years to distil the "simple explanation" of Banding into that - and I bet you still can't tell what it means without reading it slowly and carefully at least three times.
Wizards has made it a bit of a rule of thumb, for quite a few years now, to remove complexity from the game where it isn't needed. Could the game survive with Banding, Phasing, interrupts and mana burn still in it? Almost certainly. Is it better off without them? Again, almost certainly.
The real nail in Banding's coffin is that you can get a similar flavour out of a much simpler rule. Take for example the en-Kor ability from Stronghold:
This does almost everything Banding did - gives the owner some power to control how damage is assigned to his creatures. But with the great advantage of not causing your head to explode while trying to calculate how it works in complicated situations!
I still don't get the difficulty. I don't know if this was just our house rule back in the day or if it was explicitly stated but everyone I knew back in Alpha and Beta days unless all creatures in a band contained a keyword ability then any who had that keyword lost it for the duration of the band.
So in the examples provided, the creatures with trample and first strike lost those abilities the instant they were added to the band. Also once the band is declared it lasts until the end of the turn, so if you take out the only creature with banding in a band the band remains.
The one complexity that existed which could have been completely removed by a rules update was it working differently on attack and defense, just make it so that they are the same requiring all creatures in a band but 1 to have banding regardless of whether you are attacking or defending.

These Condorelli Torrone were a find in a random gourmet store I stopped into. The colors indicate different flavors. I remember these being very addicting.
|September 2011
These Condorelli Torrone were a find in a random gourmet store I stopped into. The colors indicate different flavors. I remember these being very addicting.
Lindt is a favorite chocolate of mine and has been for some time. I recall my parents buying it on occasion when I was a little kid. They'd had spent some time in Europe and "American" chocolate never satisfied them afterwards. So Lindt was the indulgence of good chocolate back then. It was ingrained into me early on that Lindt was a good chocolate and was something to have from time to time.
Like Godiva, Lindt was been experimenting with new flavors and such in the past few years. This is why the new Black Currant flavor caught my eye. It's the classic chocolate I love with a new twist. How could I resist! I found this bar only moments before the Godiva Ice Cream Parlor truffles. So yes, I was in new candy overload that day.
The chocolate is a nice middle brown color with a subtle red tones to it. There isn't much of a sheen to this chocolate, it's very matte, but it's still beautiful. The smell is extremely fruity. It's spot on the aroma of black currants, with their rich, blackberry base and juicy notes of grapes and raspberries. The break for the chocolate is fairly smooth, and surprisingly I noticed these white slivers in the chocolate. Looking at the ingredients list showed there's small almond slivers in here.
The aroma made me nervous that the chocolate was going to drown out the chocolate flavor. Thankfully my worries were just that. The flavor is very complex. The currant flavor comes forward first, and it's not where near as strong as the smell would suggest. The chocolate mixed with the currant flavors and it's very rich and fruity. The flavor is sweet and smooth, with no tart or sour notes. It's almost like a sweet wine, all fruity and rich. The currants release their nice blackberry and raspberry flavors. The chocolate gives it some sweetness and rounds out the flavor. The almonds give it a subtle crunch but not flavor. Once is awhile you'd get a currant piece, which also just added a chewy texture.
Very good, yummy!

New Tree has done a lot of evolving over the years as a chocolate company. I recall back a few years ago when their chocolate bars had emotions and specific flavors paired together. You can see an early candy review of mine from CandyAddict.com where I reviewed all the current New Tree flavors at the time. Since then they've really changed their flavors and chocolate philosophy now. They've gone "healthier", which is the best way I can put it now. Let's look at this Belgian Biscuit bar as an example.
To start, this bar is a 65% chocolate and is labeled as "dark chocolate with golden flax seeds" along "3x more fiber, omega 3 and -30% sugar". Healthier that most chocolates on the market now, wouldn't you say?
Taking a bite the chocolate immediately has a lot of crunch to it. You taste sweetness and the butteryness of the biscuits, the chocolate really takes a back seat here. The biscuit's flavor is the main star here. You don't really taste the flax at all, it's more of a texture at the very end when you get the seeds separating from the chocolate on your tongue and then stuck in your teeth.
Tasty, but not the best bar if you're looking for a chocolatey hit. I found the texture to be the dominant factor in this chocolate bar, and it makes the bar difficult to be eaten in any other manner other than chewing it.
To be fair, New Tress does carry a collection like the originals I expressed above in the 2007 review. Yes, there's been some changes. but the idea remains on the whole. Their branching out into more unique, healthful and innovative chocolate bars are interesting. I can't say that these are something I'd immediately go for, but I'm sure they do appeal to certain consumers. It's a quality bar at the end of the day, so it's a good thing to go for if it sounds interesting to you.

Whoppers came out with a few different flavor varieties. One of them were these Reese's Whoppers, with a peanut butter covering and the standard malt interior. I don't think I ever made official tasting notes on them, but I recall them being interesting.
I could start this review by gushing, yet again, about how much I love white chocolate. I'll spare you the speech this time around. This Lindt bar has been around for some time, and it baffles me that I've waited this long to try it. I think perhaps because it took me a bit to find, and like many of my most recent candy finds, Target is where I finally located this bar.
The chocolate is beautiful. It has a white creamy color and it is well studded with almonds. You can see their shapes and colors poking through the ivory chocolate.
The sections of this chocolate bar are rather large, easily an inch and a half on each side. The chocolate is think too, it's about 1.2 in thick, probably so the almonds fit into the chocolate. The chocolate smells buttery and sweet with a hint of amaretto.
The chocolate is lovely. It's smooth and creamy, with a nice sweet subtle chocolate flavor with hints of vanilla. It's an excellent white chocolate. The almonds are fresh and crunchy and deliver a wonderful smooth nutty flavor that compliments the white chocolate so well. It's a very rich bar, but it's very delightful in the flavors which are sweet, but not overpowering.
Love this bar. It's a great example of how a simple white chocolate is very versatile with many ingredients. It's hard for me to choose which I like better, this or the White Chocolate Coconut bar that Lindt also has. I very much recommend this bar for someone who loves white chocolate or is looking for a good bar to try it for the first time.

The Park City Police Department at several points last week reported officers pulled over several drivers in quick succession, something that has been occurring periodically since the summer and continues the department's long-running efforts to combat speeders and drivers breaking other traffic laws.
The police last week focused some of the patrols on residential streets in Old Town and in the vicinity of the Old Town roundabout. Speeding drivers in Old Town can be especially worrisome given the narrow streets in the neighborhood and the number of pedestrians.
Some of the cases included:
Other incidents reported to the Police Department last week included:
On Sunday, Oct. 7 at 11:56 a.m., a deer that appeared to be injured was seen on the 7800 block of Royal Street. It might have suffered four broken legs, the police wee told. It was seen close to a ski lift.
A woman contacted the police at 9:08 p.m. at the Park Avenue police station saying she wanted a gun held for safekeeping. She had inherited the handgun, the police said.
Sheep were seen on a trail close to Quinn's Junction at 8:55 a.m.
At 2:16 a.m., a man was seen on the ground close to the softball field at City Park. The man appeared to be intoxicated, the police were told. Another suspected intoxication report, likely unrelated, was reported at 1:44 a.m. on the 700 block of Park Avenue. The police were told a man was falling into the curb and friends needed to get him.
At 1:07 a.m., a vehicle reportedly hit two other vehicles and was parked in a lot on Prospector Avenue. Public police logs did not provide details about the damage.
On Saturday, Oct. 6 at 7:28 p.m., a hit-and-run traffic accident was reported on the 300 block of Main Street.
At 1:59 p.m., a motorcycle was reportedly seen on the Rail Trail close to Prospector Avenue. Motorized vehicles are prohibited from the popular trail.
Someone on Solamere Drive contacted the police at 9:31 a.m. saying that a man driving a dirt bike on a trail appeared to be commuting at approximately 9 a.m. The person was seen in the brush between Euston Drive and the Solamere neighborhood, the police were told.
On Friday, Oct. 5 at 8:27 p.m., a residential building where more than one family lives was reported on fire on the 1900 block of Homestake Road. The police were told people were leaving the building. A dryer was found to have caught fire, the police said.
A man was seen reportedly wearing a full camouflage suit and carrying a bow just off the Mine Road at 7:34 p.m. The police were told the person might be driving a white pickup truck. The man was gone when the police arrived.
A moose family -- a bull, a cow and two calves, was seen ambling down the road on the 2500 block of Lucky John Drive at 12:55 p.m.
A makeshift fort was found in a strand of trees in the vicinity of Boot Hill at 8:42 a.m. The police said the materials appeared to have been put up fairly recently, the police said. A Water Department worker apparently found the site.
On Thursday, Oct. 4 at 7:44 p.m. a bicycle was reported to be stolen from a storage area on Three Kings Drive. Public police logs did not provide details about the bicycle.
A driver reportedly hit a deer on the 1100 block of Aerie Drive at 7:30 p.m.
Someone was found sleeping in a vehicle at 3:49 a.m. on Snow Creek Drive. The vehicle's engine was running, and a police officer told the person inside they could not stay there with the engine on.
On Wednesday, Oct. 3 at 8:55 p.m. a vehicle was seen idling for more than two hours on the 700 block of Main Street. Earlier that day, at 8:14 a.m., the police received another complaint about a vehicle idling, this one on Sandridge Avenue. The police received an even earlier complaint of an idling vehicle in a parking lot on Sandridge Avenue. The police were told the vehicle had been running for more than nine hours.
At 12:53 p.m., someone on Sandridge Avenue reported one-half of a tank of gasoline had been siphoned from a vehicle the night before. Public police logs did not provide details about the vehicle or the amount of gasoline that was taken.
On Monday, Oct. 1 at 8:25 a.m., 40 sheep were reported to be loose in the vicinity of Quinn's Junction.

Summer 2014 Brings Forth a New National Natural Landmark
In early July 2014, Secretary Jewell officially designated Albany Pine Bush as a National Natural Landmark (NNL), bringing the nation-wide total to 597 exceptional sites that exemplify our country's natural heritage.
NNL designation heralds the significant natural features at this site and creates a partnership for conservation between the National Park Service (NPS) and the site landowners.
Albany Pine Bush is one of the best examples of inland pine barren ecosystems in the world, providing habitat to more than 1300 species of plants, 156 species of birds, more than 30 species of mammals, and 20 species of amphibians and reptiles. The globally rare pitch pine-scrub oak barrens that occupy the site's upland dunes and diverse wetlands support the federally listed endangered Karner blue butterfly among numerous species of special concern.
Located in Albany County, the site is owned and cooperatively managed by multiple private and public organizations, working in partnership as the Albany Pine Bush Preserve Commission. Learn more about the newest NNL and the Commission's conservation and education efforts.

There are several reasons why you might not be able to print to a homegroup printer:
The printer is turned off.
The computer that the printer is connected to is turned off, asleep, hibernating, or has left the homegroup.
For information on changing power saving options, see Change, create, or delete a power plan (scheme).
Another member of the homegroup stopped sharing the printer.
Network discovery might be turned off. For more information, see Enable or disable network discovery.
The printer has a non-USB connection and must be shared using Devices and Printers in Control Panel.
An incorrect printer driver is installed. Printers must use the correct driver for the type of computer they are connected to (x86-based or x64-based). Many printer drivers can be downloaded automatically from Windows Update. Downloading and installing drivers from Windows Update might take up to 30 minutes. Drivers are also available from the printer manufacturer's website. For more information, see Find and install printer drivers for Windows 7.
Sometimes, restarting your computer or leaving the homegroup and then rejoining it might help you access printers in the homegroup.

North Boulder Park Criterium
Submitted by Kris Thompson on
Description: North Boulder Criterium is a Colorado cycling iconic race. For many years this race served as finishing race in the Red Zinger Bike Race. While this doesn't the the award for oldest race in Colorado, City Park in Denver has that, this one probably has the most exposure and attendance than any other race. Starting in 1974 this race has see a lot of great racing though the course of the first to decades was larger than the one used today [Anyone know the official old course?]. This race truly symbolizes Colorado bike racing and those show respect for it's history Boulder will be constructing a North Boulder Park Monument plan to start construction in summer of 2010. This was the race that Davis Phinney watched as a 16yr and knew this was the sport for him. At the height of it's popularity, it was said that as many as 300,000 people descended upon North Boulder Park to witness the Men's and Women's Pro Races.

This is not a typical spaghetti alla carbonara. The traditional dish is a simple combination: spaghetti tossed with sauteed guanciale (pig's cheek, but often crisped pancetta or bacon are used instead), fresh eggs, Parmesan and Romano cheeses and lots of black pepper.
But arriving home on a Monday night after having just read a carbonara restaurant trend article, I couldn't let go of the idea for a carbonara dinner, even though I had no cured pork and just Parmesan, no Romano. But there was Italian pork sausage in the fridge and a few eggs from the farmers market.
And what about that bag of superfresh pea shoots? People sometimes stir peas into the dish; why not pea shoots?
And so the carbonara craving was satisfied. Since that dinner, I've subbed in asparagus for the pea shoots, and radicchio. And I've stocked the freezer with pancetta. But at least I know that pork sausage will work well in a pinch, very well indeed.
Monday Night Carbonara
Prep: 15 minutes; Cook: 15 minutes; Servings: 4
1 pound spaghetti
4 fresh eggs
1 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
2 Italian pork sausages, about 8 ounces
1 pound asparagus, cut into 1- or 2-inch lengths
1/4 teaspoon salt
Freshly ground pepper
Heat a large pasta pot full of well-salted water to a boil. Add the spaghetti; stir. Cook at a rapid boil until al dente.
Meanwhile, break the eggs into a large bowl; add the Parmesan. Whisk to combine well. Set aside.
Cook the sausages in a skillet until browned on all sides and cooked through, about 10 minutes; transfer to a cutting board. Chop coarsely. (Or remove sausages from their casings; cook until browned and cooked through, breaking them up with a spatula as they cook.)
Heat the asparagus to a simmer in a saucepan with the salt and enough water just to cover; simmer, 5 minutes. Drain.
Drain the spaghetti well; add to the bowl with the egg mixture. Toss to coat all the strands; add sausage and asparagus. Season generously with pepper. Toss to combine; serve, passing more grated Parmesan at the table.
