4 days of license-free fishing starts today
Published: Saturday, April 6, 2013 at 12:15 p.m.
Last Modified: Saturday, April 6, 2013 at 12:27 p.m.
TALLAHASSEE — Don't have a license to fish in Florida's fresh waters?
Take advantage of the first of four license-free freshwater fishing days today. The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission says people of all ages can cast their lines into three million acres of lakes, ponds and reservoirs and 12,000 miles of fishable rivers, streams and canals.
This is the first of the four scheduled days because it coincides with a productive freshwater fishing period. The wildlife commission says many of Florida's recreational sport fishes move into the shallows to spawn during spring, making them more available for anglers to catch.

Panic over Wade going too far
We seemingly have moved beyond the panic in the streets.
Perhaps that's because Dwyane Wade is back on South Florida's streets.
But all this Wade-will-walk wallowing never was grounded much in the way of anything tangible.
And the entire custody angle is being way overstated. Don't you think Dwyane saw all this coming way in advance of the start of the free-agency period? Such as during those times when he continually stressed that a South Florida return was his goal?
Yes, the issue has come up in conversations with potential suitors. And, yes, Wade has told them that his personal issues would not be deal breakers.
It is almost as if Wade is being viewed as someone who cannot take care of very real and very delicate situations while also being true to his profession and his livelihood.
Perhaps he departs because Pat Riley can't put enough around him. That's one thing. One-and-done in the playoffs does get old quickly.
But he left Chicago without the Bulls getting a commitment. He has reemerged from behind enemy lines.
And he's here now, doing charity work alongside Alonzo Mourning, a man, who in his memoir, mentioned how he regretted ever stepping away from this organization during his playing career.
Yes, we know about the supposed magic pull of LeBron, how the basketball world revolves on that axis.
But if Dwyane Wade hasn't truly been enjoying his life here these past seven years, then he has putting on an impressive facade.
Exhale. The sky is not falling. (Unless it falls.)

May 3, 2013
PULLMAN, Wash. - Two Washington State errors in the ninth inning led to a pair of unearned runs for Oregon and the Cougars dropped a 5-3 decision to the No. 6 Ducks in the opener of a three-game Pac-12 baseball series, Friday.
Brett Thomas led off the Oregon (35-11, 17-5 Pac-12) ninth with a single against J.D. Leckenby (1-3), the third Washington State (20-21, 7-12 Pac-12) pitcher of the night.
Aaron Payne followed with a bunt that was fielded in front of the plate by Cougar catcher P.J. Jones. The throw to second by Jones bounced for an error that allowed both runners to be safe. Ryan Healy then hit a potential double play ball that was misplayed by shortstop Ian Sagdal. The miscue allowed Thomas to score and put runners at second and third. A walk and a fielder's choice plated an insurance run for the Ducks.
"We didn't start the game well and we didn't finish," Washington State Head Coach Donnie Marbut said. "It is tough enough to get three outs in an inning and we are asking our pitchers to get four or five. We are the worst fielding team in the league."
The Ducks scored a run in the first and two in the third against Cougar starter Brett Jacobs, a passed ball and a run-scoring single by Yale Rosen.
In the sixth, Rosen started a two-out rally with a single. A walk to Jason Monda loaded the bases. Pinch hitter Nick Tanielu followed with a two-run single to tie the game in his first at bat since April 6.
In the seventh, Oregon loaded the bases with one out before Leckenby was summoned from the bullpen. Washington State made a handful of defensive changes in conjunction with the move, including Shea Donlin entering the game at second base. The strategy paid an immediate dividend when Donlin made a diving stop to his right and started an inning-ending, 4-6-3 double play.
Garrett Cleavinger (5-0), the third of four Oregon pitchers, struck out the side in the eighth for the win and Jimmie Sherfy pitched a shutout ninth for his 15th save.
The series continues at 2 p.m., Saturday.

Long After Divorce, Groom Sues to Have Wedding Photos Recreated
When a bride and groom are unhappy with their wedding photos, they sometimes demand a refund. Former groom Todd J. Remis is currently suing H&H Photographers, alleging breach of contract because the photographers missed the last 15 minutes of the ceremony and took lousy photos. Remis takes his claim even further: He has also demanded that the studio pay him $48,000 to fly the wedding party back to New York and recreate the entire ceremony and reception. Here's the sad part of the case, reported with fitting poignancy in today's New York Times: The wedding took place in 2003. Remis and his wife separated in 2008, and divorced last year. Her whereabouts are unknown.
A judge in the State Supreme Court in Manhattan is letting Remis's claim of breach of contract proceed. But in her opinion, she noted a sad truth that many wedding photographers already know: Sometimes the wedding photos mean more to the couple than the marriage itself.
Quoting the Barbara Streisand hit "The Way We Were," Judge Doris Ling-Cohan writes, "This is a case in which it appears that the 'misty watercolor memories' and the 'scattered pictures of the smiles … left behind' at the wedding were more important than the real thing."
Veteran New York Times reporter Joseph Berger explores many angles in the case, and interviews the founder of H&H Photographers, Curt Fried, an émigré from Nazi-occupied Vienna who opened the business 65 years ago.
But our real concern is Remis. We hope his friends have told him: It's time to move on.
We pity the photographer he hires to shoot his Match.com portrait.

Bank, Mechanical, Duro, Mercury
This rocket-themed bank is the Duro Mercury mechanical bank. The Detroit-based company Duro Pattern & Mold Co. began producing the Mercury model rocket bank in the early 1950s. Although labeled on its packaging only as a "Rocket Bank," this model was known as the Mercury model. Shaped like a comic-book-style rocket ship, with curved sides and a pointed end, the Duro Mercury bank had a mechanism that allowed the owner to shoot coins (pennies, nickels, or dimes) into a slot in the "nose cone" of the bank. Such banks were made to be distributed by individual bank branches as a part of promotions, as evidenced by the label on its side from the First National Bank of Denver, Colorado.
Raymond Reines donated this bank to the Museum in 2011.
Gift of Raymond R. Reines. Dedicated to the Berzac Family, in honor of Team NASA.

Senior Ryan Ehresman directs "Leaving Iowa"
Ryan Ehresman, senior at Sterling College, will direct his senior show, "Leaving Iowa," Friday and Saturday, April 12-13, in Culbertson Auditorium, at 8 p.m. The show, written by Tim Clue and Spike Manton, is a family-friendly comedy. Tickets will cost $5 and the box office will open on show nights beginning at 7 p.m. Doors will open at 7:30 p.m.
"Leaving Iowa" is based on the relationship between a boy and his father on their family's cross-country road trip. As they travel through the fields of Iowa, Kansas and Missouri, Don Browning and his family encounter Amish peddlers, Civil War re-enactors and ghost caverns. The family discovers what it means to be successful and to be a family as they journey together. Told through a series of flashbacks, "Leaving Iowa" is full of chaos, redemption and the classic American road trip.
The show is in partial fulfillment for Ehresman's interdisciplinary degree in musical theatre. He has acted in ten Sterling College theatre productions since starting in the theatre program in 2010, and directed a one act play, "The Man in the Bowler Hat," during the spring of 2012. He has been active in the Wichita theatre circuit as well, participating in Music Theatre Wichita for Young People, The Forum Theatre, Crown Uptown Theatre and Christian Youth Theatre. Ehresman is from Wichita, Kan., and is the son of Terry and Joan Ehresman.
"After being on stage for so long, it's really neat to see all the work that goes into all the other aspects of a play," said Ehresman. "As the director, I not only have to worry about the acting and the blocking, but the lights, costumes, props, music, sound effects, publicity and everything else that goes into a show. Directing this show has been an eye-opening process to say the least, but it's been a blast!"
The cast of "Leaving Iowa" includes Shane Rogers of Wichita, Kan., as Don Browning, Mike Redondo of Norco, Calif., as Dad, Dr. Laura Bateman of Sterling, Kan., as Mom, and Chelsey Moore of Wichita, Kan., as Sis. Tate Stasner of Mount Hope, Kan., and Mandy Lee of Tulsa, Okla., will play multiple characters in the show.

Topic: Whipple Surgery
My husband who had the Whipple in October, had his check up today with his Oncologist and everything looks quite good!
At 73 he is back at work, a little golf, eating better. The only problem is his last drain which does not seem to want to close up. If it is still draining in a month we will talk to a surgeon about closing it up. I have written a few times about his terrible hiccups. We found relief! A pharmacist who is a friend of ours suggested he try the old remedy called Brioske. It works!! Hallelulah! I write this to give you all some encouragement, I know when things looked the darkest for us they turned around. Bless you all! Lainy
Any suggestion I offer is intended as friendly advice based solely on my own experience. Please consult your doctor for professional guidance.

Neshama works at the Fairfax Library.
This is an official blog for the Marin County Free Library.
All branches of Marin County Free Library will be closed on Monday, July 4 for Independence Day.
This installment: a mystery with a musical theme; a novel about an seething, quiet woman; short stories that marry sex and spirituality with weird overtones; a novel featuring Middle Eastern food; an amazing DVD; and a novel about the immigrant experience, America to Lagos and back.
The Tooth Tattoo by Peter Lovesey
I get recommendations for the few mysteries I read primarily from the NY Times Book Review. Since the theme of this one is music, I went for it and was nicely rewarded. A string quartet needs a new violist since a member disappeared. Mel is delighted to be chosen, but disturbing things keep happening. Including the body of a young Japanese woman fished out of a canal in Bath. Inspector Diamond makes a link between this death and one he came across on a vacation in Vienna where he and the lovely Paloma were intrigued by echoes of that classic thriller, "The Third Man." This is a whodunit, to be sure, but the detailed treatment of the theme, the tension of Diamond's emotional shut-down, and the clever Third Man parallels made it a multi-layered treat.
The Woman Upstairs by Clare Messud
I was initially put off by the extremely surly start of this book . Nora's enraged and lets you know it in a furious three- page rant. But I persevered and found out why: she was always the good girl who subsumed her dreams of making art. Now she's a beloved elementary school teacher and into her classroom comes dreamy Reza and his fascinating parents. Mother Sirena is an artist and invites Nora to share her studio. (Nora makes dioramas of woman writers' homes; Sirena is working on a huge installation, Wonderland.) Father Skandar is a subtly seductive professor, when he's around. The family becomes Nora's obsession which takes on the quality of doomed, many faceted love affair. I found the tone of the book kind of chilly, and some details of Nora's life skimped over, like seeing her mother through ALS. But still it was a gripping read.
I Want to Show You More: Stories by Jamie Quatro
Promiscuous housewives, either fantasizing or acting on it, create the theme in many of these intriguing stories which are set in Lookout Mountain where Georgia and Tennessee meet. Religion and the Confederacy are part of the mix, and sometimes it's very heady indeed. The stories take what initially seem like ordinary happenings: a foot race or a crumbling church, and play them out wildly. In the former, the "winners" meet a, shall we say, surprising end; in the latter, the entire building is demolished and the congregants move to the forest au naturel. But the writer has such a sure hand that I was very willing to accept the bizarre, intense, richly constructed world she created in which sex and spirituality spar, intertwine, and sometimes arrive at holy ground.
Tomorrow There Will Be Apricots by Jessica Soffer
Here's a book I kept questioning yet reading, imperfect yet compelling. Lorca at 16 loves her moody mother, a NYC chef. But she keeps cutting and is threatened with boarding school. Her father's back in "Cow Hampshire," wimpy and sad. If Lorca could recreate a dish, masgouf, she might win over her mother. With the help of a bookstore clerk, Blot, she tracks down its source and takes cooking classes with aging Victoria who owned the restaurant where her mother once ate it. Her husband Joseph has just died. Victoria gave up their baby for adoption long ago. Could Lorca be her grandchild? Lots of angst, lots of depression, a Big Secret, some forgiveness. In alternating chapters we get perspectives from Lorca, Victoria, and Joseph. I liked Lorca's intensity, though it sometimes wore me out, and aspects of Middle Eastern culture and cooking. If these interest you as well, it's definitely worth reading.
The Man From Beijing (DVD)
Sometimes I read a book and think it would make a great movie. But in this case, the subject was so rich and complex, I couldn't imagine how it would work. Well here they managed to prune, condense and focus so well that I was very satisfied. A bizarre series of murders in a small Swedish village and in Reno, Nevada, leave everyone hacked up. A middle-aged woman judge is the only family member still alive, and she tracks down the killer at great peril after the police think they've solved the case with a confession from a local crazy guy. The action careens from Sweden to China to America in the last century. Moral ambiguity and cross-cultural tangles deepen the tale, as reflects author Henning Mankel's original , breathtaking novel.
Americanah by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie
Ifemelu seems to have it made in Princeton—great job, nice black American boyfriend. But back to Lagos she goes, where she'd fled years ago. There's unfinished business with her first love who she shut out after a series of deeply discouraging, humiliating, and shaming experiences when she first came to the USA. She's also the author of a successful blog from the perspective of a non-American black, very candid and eye opening. Here's a chance for the reader to glimpse the underside of immigrant experience through the eyes of a very smart, canny woman. It took me awhile to connect with the book, but I'm glad I persevered.
Back next Monday

Gardening Articles: Landscaping :: Container Gardening & Ponds
On Goldfish Pond (page 2 of 3)
by Steven A. Frowine
Keeping Goldfish Healthy
Most goldfish are naturally hardy and require only a few conditions to keep them in good health. One of the most common problems arises from adding too many fish to a pool. The result is that fish waste pollutes the water, which becomes the perfect habitat for green algae to form. Green algae grow suspended in the water, turning it murky green and making it difficult to see the fish. Excessive algae can kill fish. If the algae suddenly die or are killed with chemicals, the decaying plants will use more oxygen, and as a consequence, the fish will suffocate.
At a maximum, add only one fish for every 30 gallons of water; fewer are even better. If your pool or pond has no filtration or aeration, reduce the number still further. Also the larger the surface area of the pool or pond, the more oxygen there will be in the water.
The best time to add goldfish to a pool or pond is in early spring after the water temperature has reached 60oF. The water should contain no chlorine or ammonia. Many municipal water companies add chloramine (a combination of these chemicals), which is very toxic to fish. To be safe, you can add a water conditioner such as Amquel, available from aquarium stores, that neutralizes both of these chemicals.
Plants are critical elements in a water garden and are appreciated as much by the fish as by the gardener. They provide protective cover for the fish and absorb nutrients in the water, substantially reducing green algae blooms. Goldfish are compatible with most plants. I've planted cannas, water lettuce, nymphaeas, sedges, and waterlilies in my water gardens. As long as the fish populations aren't too high, you should not experience noticeable plant damage.
Overfeeding is the most common cause of death or decline among goldfish. If your pool is well planted, it is not necessary to feed the fish at all except, perhaps, when you first add them; they will have plenty to eat with the existing populations of algae, mosquito larvae, and other water insects. However, feeding the fish brings them to the surface so you can better enjoy their bright colors.
If you choose to feed your goldfish, use a commercial pellet food such as Hikari or Nippon, giving them only as much as they can consume within 5 minutes. If you give them too much, the extra food pollutes the water and ultimately kills the fish. Replacing 10 percent or so of the water in your pool with neutralized tap water every few weeks is a simple yet effective way to protect against any accumulation of pollutants from fish waste or overfeeding. Goldfish eat very little when the water is cold, as in spring and fall, so take care not to feed them when temperatures in your area dip to 50oF.
Goldfish can be kept outdoors for most of the year. I keep mine in two 4- by 8-foot, 3-foot-deep aboveground pools, which I constructed. These pools, lined with PVC, which lasts for 10 to 20 years, are easy to maintain. Because the pools are raised, you can sit on the edge to observe the fish up close. Keeping your fish in a small pond is another option, though a less appealing one when it comes to protecting them from predators.
The most common goldfish predators are herons, raccoons, and cats. All of these animals will wade into water to stalk the fish. The most effective means of guarding against these predators is to use an aboveground pool with straight, deep sides so they can't wade in. The fish will be able to quickly swim to the bottom to escape any predator able to perch on the edge. Another option is to cover the pool or pond with netting at night.

When updating a bathroom, it's common to get new towel bars, robe hooks and toilet paper holders. But there are other accessory options you may have never heard of. For example:
Simple hooks make your towel bar great for more than towels.
A shaving ledge in the shower makes sense, especially if it's a small space.
A stylish way to store a hairdryer in a convenient place.
A soap dispenser is typically found in a kitchen, but can be useful in a bathroom, too.
Did you know grab bars don't always have to look institutional? They can be decorative too.
A door sign could be a better way than a loud knock to determine whether the space is vacant or occupied.
Get your outfit ready to wear with a valet hanger.
Which of these is suddenly a "must have" on your list?

The new Confederation Cup could change Colorado Cycling as we know it!
Submitted by Kris Thompson on
Catching up with Lance Panigutti of WithoutLimits.co about the plans he has for 2013 racing season. One thing is for sure after talking with Lance is 2013 will NOT be the same 2012 and the new Confederation Cup is just the start!
What's on tap for road season? We're coming back with the full staple of events like Louisville Criterium, Koppenberg, Mike Horgan Hill Climb, and Superior Morgul, with the addition of a new criterium in Firestone. The Firestone 88 race is a simple, affordable, and fast course that's easy to get to for the Denver, Ft. Collins, and Boulder populations. The big changes we have are with Koppenberg and Superior Morgul when it comes to timing. For those who raced our cyclocross series this past season you know what's in store. Koppenberg will feature chip timing (through our partner Race Rite), that will provide lap splits, instant TV display results, and live results online. Superior will take it to a new level as the same system is used for the Time-Trial and Morgul Bismark. For 2013 athletes will not only get their lap splits for the Morgul, but their WALL splits as well. We all know about the horrific timing situation of 2012, a situation we took full responsibility for as we split from the ACA timing system post Morgul. When it comes to Superior Morgul we hope to regain the athletes trust once again. Omnium results will also be greatly improved. At our cyclocross series championship we produced race day results and series omnium within 10min of every category finish, Superior Morgul athletes can expect the same.
The Confederation Cup is new. What are the history and goals behind it? History: Some might remember that in 2012 Doug Williams put together the Spring Classics Cup that was a combination of our spring events, Mead Roubaix, Deer Trail, and Hugo. It came together at the last minute, but Doug did a great job rounding up prizes and printing custom winner's jerseys from Curve. When he approached me in 2013 we had the idea to rebrand, and keep it in house. In the past we've had joint series between different race directors and it never truly worked out. Goals: I've always had very strong opinions that a true series shouldn't be less than 3 races and no more than 8 or you start losing interest. When it came to the Confederation Cup we want to reward the best overall cyclist, not just the fastest sprinter or best climber. The four events take place over 2.5 months and encompass six days of racing, a perfect breakdown of a hill climb, road race, dirt road race, time-trial, and two criteriums. With each race weighted equally and points awarded 10 deep (best four scores count) it gets a lot of people in on the action, and brings excitement to the Spring season. The overall design was to keep things simple, yet truly reward the best all around cyclist.
Some would view the Confederation Cup as an assault to the Rocky Mountain Road Cup, what's your take? The Confederation Cup operates within the larger scope of the Rocky Mountain Cup. In our opinion you lose attention and interest when a series is spread out over 5 months. Take baseball vs. the NFL; long season vs. short condensed action, niche following vs. appealing to the masses. The Rocky Mountain Road Cup has its place for the purists and teams. What we're trying to do is look at the spring season, which I feel has the most exciting races, in a new light.
If it's not an assault is it a step towards independence: It's a step to build a strong brand and connection among our races. We control the level of production for each Confederation Cup event and that's the top priority for any series we choose to participate in. Does that make it a step towards independence? No, but we're also not afraid to pursue independence if a governing body or local association over steps it bounds, and damages what we feel is the rider experience, or our ability to produce a high caliber event. It's a step we've taken with some of our triathlons with great success in 2012.
You've seen the posts about a lack of road races on 303 Cycling, do you agree?; I agree that the season is not as robust as any cyclist would like to see when it comes to road races. However, we need to look at the overall picture. I grew up in New England and our marquee road races where held in June, July, and Aug. In Colorado the majority happen to be held in the Spring; Boulder Roubaix (2012/14'), Koppenberg, Morgul Bismark, Deer Trail. I see both sides (racer and promoter) as most events are club productions where the goal is to function as a fundraiser. If fundraising is the objective the system is set up to reward criterium style events. That's not anyone's fault, just a function of the environment and rules.
Based on your comments what would you suggest as a possible solution: My solutions won't be popular with a lot of people, but in my opinion they'd be a step in the right direction. We're in the unique position of working with 3x different governing bodies (USA Triathlon, USA Cycling, USA Track & Field). Each system of governance has its pro's and con's and while USAT has is host of inefficiencies they do operate as a more free market system when it comes to the operations of race directors. There's no date selection, or extraneous per/rider surcharge. What it comes down to is the races doing things right get better and the weaker ones die off, leaving the system stronger as a whole year to year. Yes, the BRAC board and staff do a wonderful and hard working job organizing and managing the local scene. However, when it comes to road races it's a financial game. As I said before it's in a club or promoter's best interest to produce a criterium as a fundraiser or business Endeavour. Our solution would be to ELIMINATE the per/rider BRAC fee for road races, DROP the fee to $1 for circuits over 5 miles, and RAISE the fee to $3.50 for criteriums. What happens? promoters are incentivized on the bottom line to take a risk on a road race that naturally have higher costs, while some of the lower tier criteriums would die away due to natural attrition. The net effect might results in lower gross revenue to BRAC. However, BRAC is still operating as the governing body of 2011 and has to fully transition to the smaller role of local association. Change is never popular, but needed at a time when cyclists are looking for other activities come June; whether that's mountain biking, camping, triathlon, or a mud run.
Rumor is you have something big in the works for cyclocross season: Rumor would be true! In the past, triathlon season has always kicked our ass, our staff's ass, and been pushed to the back burner. There's been so many thing we've wanted to do that simply had to wait a few seasons. Last year the big upgrade was the live chip timing system with splits and TV displays. For 2013 in short, yes we have some exciting things to announce over the next few months.
Just saw the Pre Season Cyclocross Race on your website. What are these all about and what's going on with the NON-USAC/BRAC sanctioning?; We couldn't be more excited about the format. It's something that's been in the works for 2 years now, we've just been holding off for the right time. In terms of the independent sanctioning, that might be best left for another interview at another time. In short we're charging $17, a fee that wouldn't be possible under the current USAC/BRAC system.

Not to take issue, but your first point about the juniors who stay in cycling usually continue or come back is a slight twist on the standard party line for subsidized junior racing: "we're creating cyclists [racers] here". It might be true, it might not. Hard to prove, and I doubt anyone's gonna open the longitudinal study anytime soon.
Some of the operating costs of race promotion are fixed, such as timing. Others are not, like officials, moto refs, possibly facilities, which are hourly or similar in terms of costs. Chopping the race day down even a couple of hours is a notable reduction in overall cost, which for some promoters can be a significant savings.
Junior field size, while the numbers can be impressive in some segments, may not really translate into dollars for shops or supporting businesses, since most times a discount is expected with bikes and equipment. Same applies to most racing really.

Submitted by Anonymous (not verified) on
Tone or not we have a group willing to face the tough issues at a tough time. Pretty sure they issued a statement taking full responsibility for morgul 2012 timing errors. Pretty sure they brought in a 3rd party timing system at over double the cost for cyclocross. Pretty sure they've worked to improve their events while facing road blocks over the years. Also, pretty sure they've supported BRAC in every interview, but are not afraid to say when the LA oversteps it bounds.

We all get on here and complain as cyclists about the lack of road races. Then we have a company putting time, effort, and money into making two of the best road races we have better and we complain. If W/O Limits wanted to go independent they would of three years ago. Instead they've worked within a system to make their road races, and especially cyclocross races, better. Sometimes we as cyclists suck.

What Colorado doesn't need is another empty sprawl crit in the middle of the summer. July now has 9 crits on the schedule with the Boulder Crit series still to come. I guess the Firestone 88 is a fundraiser or business Endeavor for WOL. Too bad they don't use their knowledge to start a new road race.

Were you there? Do you remember when? As we gear up for our 2009 American Music Masters celebration, Kozmic Blues: The Life and Music of Janis Joplin, a few friends and colleagues reminded us that the master herself graced different stages in Cleveland in 1968 and 1969, and her performances still resonate with attendees. Jane Scott remembered that Janis exploded onstage at Public Hall in October of 1968. Advertisements of Janis' May gig at the same place were splashed across the pages of the Plain Dealer. Pat Garling described her August 30, 1969 Blossom show as "musical magnificence." Whether you attended one of the Public Hall performances or the gigs at Blossom, what do you remember about them? Did you "revel in psychedelic brainwash?" Were you jolted and held? What stayed with you? Feel free to reminisce here, and share your unforgettable memories.

talking about granades: smoke granades, lays down a smoke area for a few turns (or longer indoors) that hamper acuracy and spotting like smoke effect do now.
the ability to ko as enemy at range longer than point blank even if their only single use items thatneed manufacturing might be good, maybe they can be a early (pre ufo shot down) research angle. eg: specalized explosives?

Raise 'Em Right
By Rebecca Teti
Monday: Parenting
(Join each day's Coffee Talk discussion: Mon: Parenting; Tues: Open Forum; Wed: NFP; Thu: Marriage; Fri: Education; Sat/Sun: Changing Roles)
Terrible toddlers? Trying teens? Something in between? This weekly forum is the spot to share your questions and struggles about all things related to parenthood.
Please join us!
I am struggling to know how best to help my son. He is 14, and amazing, there are no issues of him going off the rails etc. he attends a catholic school and is an altar server at church. He is very uneasy however about getting confirmed: he says he is not actually sure what he believes, even whether or not he believes in God, and doesn't feel ready to commit. I've spoken with him, told him its normal to have doubt, that we all have that at some time. I suppose it has come as a surprise to me that he felt that way, he has never objected to coming to church, or serving, and it just shows the importance really of having conversations about faith and not just assuming its all fine. I'm hoping the confirmation preparation programme will help, and I've persuaded him for now to go along with it, but I don't feel entirely comfortable with it. Has anyone else had similar issues?
Hi Unknown! I'm not a parent, but I am a young adult speaker and I speak to many parents at conferences about raising their children in the way of God. I recommend you go along with him on this journey, often confirmation classes are severely uninformative- you have to be in charge of his catechesis (along with the Church, not instead of the Church) Tell him that it is totally normal (as you already have) and tell him that you are committed to showing him why you chose Catholicism when you were going on your own journey. Tell him what made you choose the Church. Do not be afraid to tell your son of your own struggles, there is certainly a point in your life when you were at a crossroads in your faith, and realized that this path is the right one. Give him some books by Scott Hahn, have him listen to a few apologetic cds from Lighthouse, and (I swear I'm not trying to sell myself here), but I really do think my parents cd will help you a ton. Go to cphmin.com, click on the "CPH the Book" link and scroll to the bottom. Its only 3 bucks plus shipping, and I talk alot about Catholic apologetics, how we can prove Jesus is God, and how to raise your children to uphold the standards of the Church. Hope this helps! You sound like a great Mom :)
Pray together with him everyday for the Holy Spirit's guidance and inspiration. "Let Go and Let GOD!"
first unknown poster, I am sorry & will pray for both you & your son. Janelle gives some great suggestions. We have listened to some fantastic Lighthouse CDs! Fr. Baron's Catholicism series is also very good. Praying that the Holy Spirit, Who is everywhere present & fills all things, touches your son's heart & that he comes to understand that our process of theosis -- that is, growing in the divine image of God -- is a life-long endeavor. I find that this group of late 20s & early 40somethings are honest, inspiring, spirit-filled women who aren't afraid to share their struggles as well as their inspirations...for that I am grateful!

Salt Lake editors just picked up their Sundance credentials from the press office, and we're ready to give you all the coverage you (and we) can handle, including film reviews, videos and reviews of the fashion shows, parties, concerts and more.
For more specific details on our coverage, check out Senior Editor Marcie Young Cancio's latest post.
And while we are pros in every sense of the word, having Sundance creds sort of makes us want to show off a bit… so look what we've got!
My credential is non-transferable, nor would I want it to be.
Jealous? Well, here's how we got these fancy passes:
1. Submitting coverage
The press office is no longer accepting applications. In fact, they haven't been for a while now, and the journey to get these credentials actually started back in September when we started submitting our coverage from the previous year.
If a news outlet never covered Sundance or the reporters who did cover it are gone, chances are it wouldn't get an email saying it's time to apply.
The best way to get on the list is to be on the list from the previous year and actually have some coverage to back it up. I spent a good portion of a week looking through last year's mags and jumping on the server and backend of our website to find blogs, photo galleries, and features.
The Marriott. AKA coverage headquarters. This is where we picked up the creds.
2. Filling out the app
After several meetings among the staff on who to send, we were sent the link to apply on the Sundance Film Festival website in early December.
The assigning editor (me) provided the rest of the reporters with letters of intent to submit with their applications. Luckily, Sundance provides a good example of what the letter should look like.
If it was someone who had never covered the fest before, he or she filled out a longer app—and other than checking every web story he or she ever wrote for anything Sundance related to submit—that was basically the only difference between getting creds for vets and newbies.
Inside the Sundance press office at the Marriott.
3. Picking up the creds
Toward the end of December, we got emails letting us know our apps were approved. Yahoo! Then it was just a matter of deciding how to split the coverage and picking up on Jan. 18. It had to be Jan. 18 if we wanted to cover anything after that date… like the Redford press conference I'll be at today.

A 55-year-old Dover man remains in critical condition Monday after being hit by a vehicle while rollerblading in Rehoboth Beach over the weekend.
Robert C. Flanagan was heading west on Rehoboth Avenue, just west of Church Street, about 8:15 p.m. on Saturday, when he was struck by an unidentified vehicle also heading west, Delaware State Police spokesman Cpl. John Day said.

What he said, I agree with getting a 100% receiver for the first build or even if you just plan to do just one build, a lot less aggravating.Quote:
So, I get any AK 47 style AKM 80% blank and have at it? Anything else I should particularly know about in the acquisition of parts etc. Such as a particular barrell etc.
But yes any AKM receiver, blank or flat will work.
As for the barrel, any AKM barrel will work. If you get a kit and want to make sure which barrel, just ask and you'll get an answer.

Get an alert for markdowns and new arrivals of Urbanears!
The concept Urbanears is spawned out of a number of ideas. Some that formed the project but just as many that came along the way. Primarily, there seemed to be no manufacturer of headphones out there that shared our belief in what headphones are and how they are used. Our passion is to make headphones with a profound understanding of how they are used, worn and why. Our vision is to add a number of elements to the concept of performance. Beyond the obvious sound rendition we have a vision of making headphones that feel more like clothes than chromed plastics. We design headphones with respect to what they are expected to be, but with great attention to the details.
Urbanears is a collective out of Scandinavia, motivated by a common interest in global relationships and shared involvement in the relevance of the living brand. Urbanears promotes a deeper connection to color, form and people while providing the freedom to transcend individuality and unify the sound experience.

The American Cancer Society estimates that one in five Americans will be diagnosed with skin cancer in their lifetime. And for those of us living along the world's most beautiful beaches, sunny days are just the norm. At any given time from February to October you can spot, so-called sun worshippers working to get that golden glow, but at what cost to their skin?
Your body does need vitamin D which comes from the sun, but too much of the sun can cause skin cancer. Basil cell carcinoma is the most common form of skin cancer, and can usually be cut out without going too deep into the skin. Melanoma is the deadliest form. Nearly 75 percent of all skin cancer deaths are from melanoma.
So what should you worry about? If you draw a line through a mole on your skin, and the two halves don't match, meaning it is asymmetrical, that is a warning sign for melanoma. The boarders of an early melanoma tend to be uneven. Having a variety of colors is another warning sign. Melanomas usually are larger in diameter than the eraser on a pencil. Change in size, color, shape, elevation or bleeding, itching or crusting also point to danger. Fortunately, melanomas can be treated if caught early enough.
Knowing your skin is a key to prevention. Be sure to examine your skin once a month and have a professional examination once a year.
If you have questions or concerns, Gulf Coast Dermatology in Panama City is offering free skin cancer exams Saturday May 7 at all of its offices.

we dont celebrate anything in here. apart from christmas.
Well, we celebrate stuff, but people are too lazy to partake in tradition and the traditional aspect usually goes unfullfilled. We eat Easter Eggs but thats bout it
yeah what hicky said
i loved the fruits basket anime o.o
i used to never be in my room but since i got a computer in it i am in here 95 percent of the day
the easiest way not to leave chocolate bunnies lying around is to eat them.
my room sucks so i just stay out of it.
I'm always in my room or in the stairwell reading/on the computer/writing.
I just don't like being out of my room at night, because I'm terrified of the dark and also because my bathroom has a ghost it in. I also keep two lights on in my room and my t.v on.
bit of an overuse of electricity
It's worth it. I don't want the monsters to eat me! I'm not radioactive like you.
don't diss the name!
in the dark, we find who we really are, or something like that.
That's gay, why would we find who we are in the dark? oh, and i'm not dissing your name its awesome.
I just wish I was radioactive too.
i didn't think of that quote. blame the goths.
Happy Easter everybody.
Do Jewish people celebrate Easter?
One time Easter was on the same day of the eight days of passover, so I had to eat Easter chocolate that was Kosher for Pesach.
On easter i take a bi-bi gun and shoot bunnys.
I eat cheesecake.
I really don't.
I just sit in my room and watch tv ,play video games,Eat dinner,have dessert,and play more games until i go to bed.

Reeds: Remember mom on Mother's Day
Published: Saturday, May 11, 2013 at 12:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Friday, May 10, 2013 at 5:42 p.m.
Happy Mother's Day. I made a request in my last column to send in information if you think you have the oldest mother or grandmother in the community. I want to share a quote from one of the daughters. "I think this is a great thing to recognize the oldest mother. They are such special people and after all none of us would be here if it wasn't for mothers." (Thanks to the daughter of Olgie Carne). This is so true and it is great to recognize a few of these great Mother's. I wish I could list everyone in the Reeds community but I am listing my top four.
The oldest I received news of is Louise Hartley who will be 100 years young in September. She now takes turns living with her three daughters: Charlotte Walser, Ramona Brooks and Tillie Comer. A special Happy Mother's Day to you Louise Hartley.
We also have Pearl Walser. She is 94 years young. She lives in Yadkin College and has been part of the Reeds community for 67 years. She has five generations of her family living. That is such a blessing.
Olgie Carne will turn 94 in October of this year. She still lives alone on in the community and just last year renewed her driver's license for another five years. She told the lady at the license agency she would see them at 99. She is very independent. She owned and worked in her own hair salon until she was 84 and had a bad fall that crushed her elbow. She couldn't roll hair after that. I am looking forward to the next story when she goes back to renew her license at 99.
Christine Smith is 84. She was born Feb. 15, 1929, and she lives in the Reeds community.
Let's remember all of our past and present Armed Forces members on May 18 for Armed Forces Day. A big thank you to all you have done and are presently doing. You are greatly appreciated.

KathyChung, Tuesday October 26, 2010 - 1:46pm
It's Tuesday afternoon, and I am finally coming out of the post-conference fog. Sort of.
SiWC 2010 is over, the hotel lobby is back to being a hotel lobby, and all our attendees and presenters have gone, back to their families and lives and other commitments.
Thank you to all our attendees for coming, for sharing your ideas, for helping to create the warm, friendly atmosphere we all love so much at SiWC. Several presenters commented to me about the great attendees we have, and I agree.
Do you have pictures and stories from this year that you'd like to share? We'd love to see and hear them. Share links here in the comments or email me at kathychung at siwc dot ca.

Many thanks...
Kathy, I've been attending since 2004 and this was THE best conference yet! Many thanks to you for your leadership of a great team, and to all the committee for the extensive planning and work that obviously went into making our weekend so special. I can empathize with the fogged brain... mine is still in overload mode and I didn't have your extra responsibilities to contribute to it.
I've posted the first of my highlights of #siwc2010 on my blog at http://wp.me/phaYw-Ot and will be adding more throughout the week as I pour through my notes and photos.

Thank you? No, thank YOU!
I have wanted to attend Surrey since I first learned of it in 2002. This was my first year and it most certainly will not be my last. Like a favorite book, the conference presented great pacing, interesting sub-plots, and an amazing cast of characters. Like a great book, it also inspired. I actually came home and wrote That Damned Synopsis. In one sitting no less (no, really, I'm not just saying that). And of course, like a cherished book, even though it might sit on the shelf for a while, you can always take it back down, dust it off, crack it open, and relive the moments. So, thank you and your wonderful cadre of volunteers for a great conference. I know it's not an easy thing to do and especially not an easy thing to do so well.
Thank you.

Robert Dugoni's Speech
This was my second year attending SIWC and I already can't wait for 2011. Robert Dugoni gave such an incredible keynote and I kick myself for not having a tape recorder. I did however go and write down to the best of my memory the Aragorn rift he gave at the beginning. If anyone would like to see it, they can check out my blog. :)

Prehistoric marine reptiles, both alien and awe-inspiring, at once utterly inhuman and somehow irresistibly compelling. Nothing can prepare you for this amazing plunge into the Cretaceous oceans of 80 million years ago, a merciless realm ruled by some of the most ferocious animals ever to stalk the seas of planet Earth. It scarcely seems possible that these swift, massive underwater predators actually existed, but they did, and this is their fascinating, unforgettable story.

Breaking: 'This American Life' Retracts Apple-Foxconn Expose
This American Life on Friday retracted its searing exposé of conditions at Foxconn factories that manufacture Apple gear. The statement reverses damage to one of the most-respected brands in the world.
Acclaimed Public Radio International program This American Life has retracted an entire episode about working conditions inside Foxconn, the Chinese manufacturer that builds much of Apples most popular hardware, after learning that a major contributing source partially fabricated information about his visit to the factories.
"Daisey lied to me and to This American Life producer Brian Reed during the fact checking we did on the story, before it was broadcast," Ira Glass, host of the show, said in a blog post Friday quoted by Wired. (I can't currently access the post. I expect it was overwhelmed by traffic).
Daisey issued a statement on his personal blog:
I stand by my work. My show is a theatrical piece whose goal is to create a human connection between our gorgeous devices and the brutal circumstances from which they emerge. It uses a combination of fact, memoir, and dramatic license to tell its story, and I believe it does so with integrity.
Apple is going to come off smelling like a rose. Its brand has been restored. The only thing most people will remember about this story in six months is "Problems at the Apple factory? I remember that. That was faked."
That's a real shame, because, as Daisey notes, reports by the New York Times and human rights organizations corroborate that working conditions in China's factories are awful. The problem is not limited to Apple. Every electronics brand and consumer is complicit, you and me included.
Please post links and updates on this breaking story in the comment thread below. And let us know what you think. Will Apple's brand suffer any long-term damage? How about This American Life, also a well-respected brand -- will it be able to recover?
