Girls Scouts and Boy Scouts may have scouting in common, but their stances on gay involvement in their organizations begs to differ. I'm admittedly passionate about the recent Boy Scouts of Amercia ruling to ban gay adults and children for their organization, perhaps surprising considering that I'm neither gay nor have ever been involved in scouting in any such way, but here we are all the same.
I'm trying, very hard in fact, to put on my big girl panties and let a private organization declare their stance without throwing a hissy fit. It's only partially working.
The problem is that is deeply want to like the Boy Scouts. I'd love for my boys to grow up with a troop, tie 18 different kinds of knots and learn how to sew on merit badges — but I just can't. The disparity in our beliefs is too great, and so I, and we, can't partake.
To be clear, that means that not only will my boys not be taking part in the Boy Scouts organization as members, but that my family will not financially support their organization…even on down to individual troop fundraisers.
Voting with your dollar never gets old.
I also reserve the right to voice my opinion through whichever size megaphone I hold, which currently is primed to spread the word about the Girl Scouts of the USA.
From what I can dig up (I except nothing less than to be corrected if more current information exists) here is their position on sexual orientation of adult and child participants:
As a private organization, Girl Scouts of the U.S.A. respects the values and beliefs of each of its members and does not intrude into personal matters. Therefore, there are no membership policies on sexual preference.
We recognize the basic human rights of all people, including lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender individuals. All citizens, regardless of sexual orientation or gender identity, have the right to housing, employment, and to be free from violence and harassment.
Inclusion in October of 2011:
In regard to a local troop's rejection of a transgender 7-year-old child, the Girl Scouts of Colorado stated publicly, "If a child identifies as a girl and the child's family presents her as a girl, Girl Scouts of Colorado welcomes her as a Girl Scout." The decision sparked a boycott.
It's a little more "don't ask, don't tell" than "come one, come all," but I'll take it for now over the other. There's always room for improvement.
As for my fellow parenting friends who have children currently in the Boy Scouts program? Again, it's hard — in fact, it's all too reminiscent of my Catholic parents advising me that I should raise my kids in the church despite my obvious disagreement there as well. No, I don't think it's OK to 'pick and choose' the parts of an organization you like and make like ostrich with head in the sand about the rest.
I'm sad to realize that my boys won't ever be able to be Boy Scouts because of our personal beliefs. However, I look forward to explaining to my sons why they can't join the group their uniform-clad classmate is in, and while it might be a hard lesson to take in, hope they take it to heart. Maybe if I do a good enough job they'll even opt tell that classmate why we choose not to participate.
You've got to stand for something or you'll fall for anything, as they say. Girl Scouts Thin Mints? Yes, please. Throw in a box of Samoas to boot.
Disagree with the Boy Scouts' ruling on gay participation? Help spread the word about the Girl Scouts' more open policy.
Applaud the Boy Scouts' gay policy? I look forward to hearing your take on the Girl Scouts' stance.

i hope everybody comes to this school
Hey! thats my school!!xd
Looks just like it did back in the eary 70's when I went there.
Chancellor was a dirtroad back then and the school was built on the site of an old farmstead.
I lived in the Manitoba Housing across from the Victoria Hospital and spent alot of time exploring the U of M and it's grounds/buildings.
They didn't care too much about kids back then so, we managed to go swimming, play floor-hockey, squash and raquet-ball until the wee hours of the morning or until security kicked us out.
The animal exibits and 2 headed baby calf in the medical/animal sciences labs were also a great hit
great pic of my old school back in the late forties
thanks for the memory!
it is not Van Wallegham it is Van Walleghem

The Right Whale Mapping Project is a collaborative effort to visualize the locations of right whales and subsequent surveys in the Gulf of Maine collected between 1978 and 2003 by eight different organizations using GIS. The goal of this project is to maintain an atlas of surveys and sightings to provide information on the extent of the surveys, arrival and departure of right whales from critical habitats, variability of habitat use within a given season and between years, and use of areas outside of the known critical habitats. We also used data from individual photographic identification catalog maintained by the New England Aquarium to analyze movements of known right whales.
We used four different map series to help visualize the sightings and survey effort over the years. All off the data used were collected during systematic surveys during sea state less than 4 and visibility greater than 2 nautical miles. Opportunistic sightings were also included in recent map series.
The published report describing this project (pdf) provides insights into some of the important findings garnered from these plots with a specific focus on how these data pertain to shipping and fishing activities.
Yearly Series
All sightings and systematic survey effort for each year is displayed on an individual map, with months plotted in different colors.
Monthly Series
All sightings and good survey effort for each month displayed on an individual map, with years plotted in different colors.
Month by Year Series
Monthly sightings and survey data per year are plotted to help decipher the survey effort by month and year. (3-4 months per page to help show progression in effort and sightings).
Individual Animal Movement Series
This series displays the individual movements of right whales between habitats in the Gulf of Maine.
We would like to thank the International Fund for Animal Welfare (IFAW) and the National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS), who provided funding for this project. If further funding is obtained, we will continue this project on a yearly basis, please contact Amy Knowlton for further information.
The Right Whale Mapping Project was prepared and presented by Amy Knowlton and Beth Pike of the New England Aquarium, Jennifer Beaudin Ring a consultant to the New England Aquarium, Robert D. Kenney of the University of Rhode Island, and Bruce Russell, an maritime consultant for the International Fund for Animal Welfare.

Ashton Kutcher in Boxer Briefs and More Celeb Undies Sightings
This week in celebrity underwear sightings, we got quite the view of Ashton Kutcher in boxer briefs on CBS's Two and a Half Men. Wearing a ball gag and strapped to a bed, Kutcher wears gray boxer briefs for a conservative look that we'd expect from the show. What's the story behind the image? You'll have to ask your grandmother what happened in the episode.
We also got a glimpse of Adam Levine in Calvin Klein Underwear. Following Levine's professed love of undergarments, we now have photographic evidence that the Maroon 5 singer does in fact have good taste.
Finally, Pitbull was spotted wearing Under Armour on the set of a new music video. He clearly hasn't been spending a ton of time in the gym, but his choice of underwear is a good one so we have to give him props.
Other celebrity underwear sightings this week included Liam Payne, Daniel James, Evan Peters, Josh Duhamel and a confused looking Steven Tyler.
Check out the gallery below and let us know who you think looked best. Is Ashton Kutcher in boxer briefs the sighting of the week or does Adam Levine take the underwear prize?

Mons Nov 2010: Naked Drunk Maniac
Naked Drunk Maniac
by Brian Kennedy
(first published in the November 2010 Monaghan United play-off match programme)
Backfire: A miscalculation that recoils on its maker.
I love Halloween. The smell of wood-smoke in the air. Kids trick-or-treating. Little hoodlums robbing car tyres to throw on a bonfire.
It's also a night I don't forget easily after one Halloween in 2002 involving nudity, a knife and one unhappy wife!
Having finished my night shift early and obeying the 11th commandment "Thou shalt not do overtime", I headed out after work with my mates to toast the weekend in the nearest bar with Aertel.
I say Aertel as while my friends where knocking back vodka, complaining about their life and commenting on the barmaid's bosom, I was glued to a small flickering screen with the words "Finn Harps" and "Waterford" on them.
The Blues were playing a Friday night fixture away in Ballybofey and were currently top of the First Division, but more importantly, I was waiting on them for a draw treble having had two midweek draws already gone my way!
The night progressed and I eventually put the sweet taste of Mr Jack Daniels and his cousin Jim Beam to my mouth, whilst continuously looking at the same 0-0 scoreline for what seemed an eternity on the screen.
With injury time fast approaching and the lure of 157 euro, with the Blues still holding top spot, I started to pace the bar.
Naturally being a man of a nervous disposition I needed something heavier to calm me so three Sambucas were ordered and went down quicker than Didier Drogba on a Saturday afternoon.
One minute later Finn Harps scored, and in a mixture of sorrow and anger I launched into a succession of ill-chosen spirits!
I arrived back at my house at 2.50am, totally legless. I turned on the TV. "Halloween" (the greatest horror movie ever made) was playing. So being the night that was in it, I got this absolutely stupid idea.
The plan was to leave the front door wide open, lights off, and only the television on.
My wife ,who was working until 3am, would come home, know something was wrong, and while Michael Myers was trying to kill off Jamie Lee Curtis , she'd be checking every room to see what was going on, only for me to come hopping out of the closest with a knife in hand, giving her a massive heart attack. Nasty you may say, but trust me she'd do the same to me with drink in her!
For some stupid reason I decided to strip naked, grabbed the knife and hide in our bedroom closest. Everything was going to plan until, like a total clown, I feel asleep.
Now here's where the word "backfire "comes into its own.
When I woke up it was 3.34am. I had lost over half an hour. Trust me it felt like the blink of an eye but it was a full half hour.
Thinking that Sandra hadn't found me yet I got out of the wardrobe and made my way to the top of the stairs, making as much noise as possible to frighten her even more.
I heard nothing.
Two minutes passed. Then four.
Finally deciding to have some sympathy for her I shouted down "Sandra" only to be met with total silence and the door now firmly closed and lights now on!
Was someone now downstairs? Could somebody have come in and robbed the place?
Was it some evil spirit? (Trust me if I'd have seen Paranormal Activity in 2002 I was never coming out of that closet!)
I stood all alone shivering and naked with a knife in hand at the top of the stairs terrified. As I took each step down one by one I could have heard a pin drop and see every shadow.
This was no fun at all.
Suddenly the phone rang. I think I was clinically dead for about 12 seconds with the fright.
Thankfully it was my wife. She'd come home, seen me, and gone across to the neighbours knowing I'd crap myself the moment I woke up!
When she finally got home I had some explaining to do and it's killed off any Halloween weekend prank ever since.
Even though All Hallows Eve has just passed I still hope the Blues can trick Monaghan tonight and give us all a treat whilst I finish the last of the mountain of candy my kids successfully hoarded, in the main stand!

Just got back in from riding and once again Psycho has been a pain and highly strung , trying to bomb off , prancing and bucking on the spot , spinning and being a complete prat . He's not usually that bad , normally have a few spins and jog trotting but i rode in the rain today so didnt help . His behavior doesnt scare me and we did manage to ride out for a few hours with a friend but the whole time he was jmping about all over the place where i used to find it funny its gotten a bit tiresome now and i would like to be able to ride him without having to leap about everywhere and just chill . His tack fits fine , no back problems , saw farrier the other day so not feet and his teeth have been checked . Spoke to his owner and apparantly he used to have his old riders off almost daily but he used to be stabled 24/7 day and night and fed up to his eye balls so not surprising really. He lives out 24/7 now and has highfibre nuts purely for the weight but they a specifically designed for weight not energy. I have had mixed feedback about the calming supplement route . I just want something that will help him relax and take that edge of him so that everytime i want to ride i don't have to put up with his behaviour. Anyone know of any good supplements as there are so many on the market its hard to choose ? Gem x
Psycho , we're walking on sunshine

Equimins Serenity is a very good magnesium calmer - i tried NAF magic but it didn't work, spoke to Equimins and they informed me that the quantities of magnesium in NAF magic are not even good enough for cows so i was wasting my money.
i got some Serenity for my crazy cob while he was on box rest
unfortunately calmers don't always work - it depends on the horse. for my horse they didn't work - he is just naturally crazy and full of beans so i've had to learn to live with it.
if a horse has a magnesium deficiency it can cause their brain to stop working properly (synapses and all that jazz) like an epileptic fit which is why magnesium calmers have proven to be highly effective in most cases (except for my horse!)
you'll have to try some and see what works for your horse whether herbal calmers will suffice or whether you need to try a magnesium calmer
Yes…my horse really is called "The Brown Horse"
Thanks :) I'll have a go with both and see what works best for him . He's just so silly all the time , he even spooked at my friends horse having a wee because he didnt like the sound and decided to have a bucking fit , I hope they work for him as its such a pain lol Gem x

try a company called natural horse supplies they do a supplement called calcuim magnesium which is supposed to be great.
ive used the naf magic syringe cant say it made alot of differance but suppose you can never say for sure !
i know its a pain but have you tried lungeing for 1/2 before your ride it may just help take the beans out.
i just feed dobson & horrels pasture mix mixed with alfa hay, make sure them nuts dont have hidden heating properties in them although some say non heating just check whats in them ! good luck and let us know what you get and how it goes x

Hi ya,
I'm going to watch this thread carefully because I could do with the same advice really. I have tried NAF Magic and Blue Chip Karma without effect. It's interesting that kap29 mentions calcium magnesium because I've heard that whatever the calming supplement you choose, it needs to have the calcium in it to allow the magnesium to work?

i know alot of people who swear by equine americas magnitude
my friend owns a warmblood gelding and we wasn't sure weather it was working (didn't know wether we needed to up the dose etc) so we left him off it for 3 days and holy **** yes it was working lol its about £18.99 for a 6 month supply :)
i also knew someone who used it for there hussy mare lol and she wasn't as mareish come her season
discuss matters with a stallion, ask a mare nicely, and tell a gelding :)

I am in the process of trying to find a suitable calmer for my mare, as she is good as gold at the yard but whenever I take her somewhere else, even if it's just down the road to my instructor's or on a group hack, she gets really spooky and naughty. In my experience the magnesium calmers (i've tried loads such as magic, carl hester, NAF) and bach-type flower remedies are a complete rip off & waste of money. Having said that some people swear by them.
I have also heard lots of people say that oxyshot syringe is good but I have never tried it because it's about £12 for a single syringe, and personally I cannot see how it can work, its just salty water!!
However, I think the st john's wort or valerian based calmers are a lot more effective although be aware valerian is banned under competition rules. I am going to try gold label equival plus which is st johns wort&valerian. Gold label also do one called equikalm which is valerian and b vitamins- these have a mood stabilising effect (i have taken b vitamin complex myself as it is good for PMT lol ;-)
You'll find one thats right for you in the end, it's just trial and error but it does work out expensive! If you decide to go down the magnesium route I actually read in horse answers on thiswebsite (this was written by a vet so i assume it's reliable!) that epsom salts (magnesium sulphate) can be used instead of these expensive supplements such as magic. You can buy it in big tubs from chemist shops and it only costs about £4, the thing is though unless your horse is deficient in magnesium (which mine obviously wasn't when i tried it) then it's not goin to work

I too use Magninute by Equine America as do a couple of others on the yard I'm on and we all love it.....it makes a very very subtle difference in that it seems to change the horse's nervous energy into working energy....they seem to concentrate better and have a much better attitude all round when on the supplement and at RRP £18.99 for a 6 month supply (or 3 months if you have a huge horse like mine lol) it's not an expensive one eiher.
Thanks for the advice guys :) to the lungeing suggesting i tried that but he trys to attack the lunge whip so if i send him away using body language he'll go from normal to flipping out and ends up rearing above my head so not worth it for my safety hence the kalmers :) Gem x

NeoMarz's Ultimate Clone Pack VM
:angel: :angel: :angel: O.k., so its been awhile. Ive been picking around one of my old clone models. I never was totally happy with it when I released it, but now, I think I have made enough improvements over the other to make it my next project. The Body is a total revamp, but I will hold on to the jetpack, kilt, classic helmet. My plan is to make a skin and varient for as many different clones as possible. I will do a all varients for both classic and new clones. Possible varients, clone commando, new commandos, snipers, pilots, engineers, Commanders, different factions .... well you get the idea. This may take awhile, so be patient.
Awesome!!!! Can I help you with those skins, since ive already done alot of skins of ur old ep2 clones?
Looks intersting, but that Original Clone helmet seems REALLY "wide" for want of a better word...
Marz, I was actually going to suggest this seeing as you have made ep2 clones but you've thought ahead lol.
Awesome man, simply amazing, your clones were top quality and I can imagine these will be too.
Good Luck, if you need any help with anything like sounds or reference pictures, I'll be happy to help.
ok cool.
The worst part of your original clone model was the chestplate being a seperately modelled and textured mesh from the rest of the torso. Please resolve that in this release, it will make it much easier to reskin.
Also, the textures on the original were lackluster at best. There was a "grimey" look about them, and they were far too grey. Giving the textures scratches and dirt is always good, but they are at the base white.
Sry had to scream
Thx marz, I was going to ask you too :ears1:
Hope Model will go well before Hap finishs his one xD J/K Haps and IBs Clones will still take while
Good luck, Neomarz
nice start marz.
Awesome helmet! Looks like more clones are on the way!
All I'm going to ask is this.
Please make normal team colors and don't weigh it for JO. That last one especially irks me, as you released your old clones as JA compatible when in fact they had the dual bug.
Im sure he will be making them for JA since thats all he models for these days and the most popular game of the two.
:smash: Well well well, the man that inspired me to mod, join the Dark Forces MOD, skin, and model.
1 request, make the waistcoat a FLAT PLANE, so one can apply an alpha channel shader to it... without it looking hallow...
I'd like to publically announce in this thread that Dark Forces MOD Tesla is making an ARC Trooper specific Model...
Who shall make the better clone...
=/ oh yea, and my helmets visor is recesed ;) :smash:
Also, I suppose I could lend a hand shader wise if you need some of that help. Just because we both work towards a goal doesn't mean we can't enjoy each others rewards. I know that your Detail shader you are a bit famous for OVERUSING lags my ATI card to pieces, as Specualar shaders may not have that oh so wonderful chromey sheen, they don't lag me at all.
Out of respect, gratitude and love for your work, I will not post images of my half done model.
<3 :clone:
Instead I show you my reskins sir. May the force be with you.
Xirin Kenebra
Move Battles 2 MOD Build 17 Realistic Colors and Rank ARC Troopers
Dark Horse Comics Default ARC/My interpretation/Basically a redone ARC Trooper you made :P
Battlefront Blue-Soldier ARC Trooper
Battlefront Red-Captain ARC Trooper (A friend gave me the textures so I could get colors, apparantly this one didn't make it to the finished game)
Interpretation of the once seen ARC Commander, I felt that ARC Troopers have softer colors, the Red is a crimsony shade, the blue is practically asking to be black/gray I thought the yellow would do best as a Maize color
VERY Old, as a matter of fact, one could say I learned everything I know about shaders and skinning from your model.
I take some of that back, using my astoundishly accurate resources, I would like to abandon my *make a clone model just so I can add all imaginable ARC Trooper gear* craze, and request, I am allowed to model the ARC Trooper gear, all types of it for you.
I agree with Lath.
Also double check what happens to models when you use Force Speed. I've seen for example a Fett model that suddenly has a huge "phantom jetpack" (the arc trooper action figure style that looks like a mini-helicopter) on his back... or Yoda who loses his hair, or Vader who loses his mask... all when using Force Speed!
PS: the "central dark line" (for lack of a better term) on the helmet looks too thick (at least to me). On Fett's helmet it's pretty wide, but I'm sure in AOTC it was much thinner and came ot a point, but check some DVD screencaps to be sure.
OMG NeoMarz1 Clone is looks really nice !
when can I have this model pack ?
send me asap I will take screenshot so ...
I would have experience with the GIANT JETPACK thing
I had been trying to figure that out for a while.
When you have dismemberment on and die, the game doesn't re-read the SURF file. Answer: Delete surf files, and change ,clear to ,*off in the .skin files.
I just finished modeling the head for the Clone Commando, so things are moving along. Marzout!
Mr. Marshall, I don't want to sound like a prat, but if you just change ,clear to ,*off there won't be any problems.
Separate folder Idea is cool, but haveing 40 model.glm files in a pk3 is farfetched >.>
Mars would you include long or short version of DC-15 (the clone rifle) with these models?
I had problems with the *off line, for whatever reason it didnt work for me on either the single or the multiplayer (cant remember)... at any rate I abandoned that for some reason. I may give it a shot again, and see what happens. Marzout
Hey, can I have some sort of IM info so I can contact you about modelling the ARC Trooper gear for you? There are 2 different variants, and 3 with ranks. the head_gogs,*off thing does work BTW. But I think Surf is fine for JK2
I am also willing to weight this, and help you work on your UVW mapping skills *laughs at clonehips texture and how it looks hideous inside the legs*
NeoMarz - If you are posing the offer, I'd like to help out with the clone's textures. Whichever you want, it's fine with me.
I agree. It is kinda annoying, if he wants your help im sure he will ask. If he doesnt then continue on doing what you do.
Hey Marz ive found something cool you might wanna add to your clones:
Now Zappa, that would be freakin cool! Marz, ya gotta put those in, lol. Especially Bacara, we need him. And...yea, hopefully you are gonna put those in. :P
Is there also a clone pilot included in the pack?
Btw, it looks great.
Possibly Neon, we may never know. :)
Sorry if I came off as arrogant, I'm not here to start anything negative here.
It's just, I'm a kid, I'm not well known I love this guy, and I don't want to be the poor fool that gives the JA community a 5th clone model. I guess I'm a bit anxious and over-enthusiastic =D.
I think he should do a normal 1 a blue 1 a red 1 and a arc and then people will reskin it :/
Except the ep3 clones no longer have ARC versions.
It's grunts and commandos.
Will you do a 501st trooper version?
If he doesn't you can make the 501st skin yourself. Theres no difference in it exept armor paint.
My iterpretation of his original post is, yea he's making ALL Clones.
why wouldn't it be a jka skeleton?
who said it wouldnt be? joo misunderstood methinks
why dont you wait till he post the progress instead of asking or talking about useless things?
shouldnt be to much longer till things start pulling together. No screens yet, keep checking. Marzout again...

According to this CNET.com article dated Jan. 23, Best Buy's deals for the upcoming weekend will include an unexpected $50 off Apple's latest tablet the iPad Air. The deal is not yet visible on Best Buy's website so it's worthwhile to wait a few more hours if you're considering buying iPad Air. This reduction is unexpected because reports published earlier this week indicate that iPad Air sales were an overwhelming success for Apple in December. Also, iPhone 5s is $150 at Best Buy in the same two-day sale.
It's worth repeating the differences between the different iPad models: iPad Air is the latest and greatest, introduced in fall of 2013. The iPad Air has a 9.7 inch screen and uses the latest Apple microchip, the A7, the same chip used in the latest iPhone, the iPhone 5s. Last year's model is called iPad with Retina Display. It looks very similar but should cost less because of its older microchip. The two-year-old iPad is called iPad 2.
Best Buy is also discounting the iPad Mini by $30 this Friday and Saturday, according to CNET. It will be helpful to remember that "iPad Mini with Retina Display" is this year's new model and "iPad Mini" is last year's model. Last year's model looks similar to the latest model but has less pixels in its screen.
Here are competitors' prices for iPad Air in its base configuration with 16 Gigabytes of storage and Wifi-only connectivity.
Target, iPad Air: $499.
Walmart, iPad Air: $499.
Apple Store, iPad Air: $499.

Sometimes cooked just doesn't cut the mustard, and you need raw. Now I'm not talking raw fish, or Sushi, I'm talking raw oysters and clams. In southern Fort Lauderdale just a short drive over the 17th Street Causeway, headed west from the Fort Lauderdale Strip, with its beaches, fancy hotels and resorts sits the legendary Southport Raw Bar.
Southport Raw Bar is a throwback to a simpler time in Fort Lauderdale, born in the booming 70's when Fort Lauderdale's lifeblood was the five or six weeks of Spring Break, and the rest of the year, Fort Lauderdale became a steamy, sleepy beach town, with many businesses which closed all summer. The small 3-store strip center still looks pretty much like it did in the 70's, and I can tell you the inside doesn't seem to have changed much since the first time I went in the mid-to-late 70's (You don't really expect me to remember what year it was do you? I was in my 20's and it was the psychedellic 70's.).
The other thing that hasn't changed in thirty years is the "Florida Casual" atmosphere (shorts and flip-flops are the standard attire in this place) and the fast service of the friendly staff. Dinner or lunch at the Southport Raw Bar is like visiting the house of an old friend (who lives on the water and is a very lucky fisherman). There's no pretension here just good old Florida style raw shellfish, steamed shellfish, fried shellfish, and everything else you'd find at any respectable clambake or picnic. They also offer a full selection of sandwiches, subs, hoagies and chicken wings, but in all the times I've visited, I've never tried them, because I have never been able to get past the raw and steamed oysters, clams and mussels.
If you like fresh shellfish in a casual setting, give the Southport Raw Bar a shot, but you might want to take off your suit jacket and loosen your tie, then relax with a cold beer, and enjoy.

William M. Dowd reports and comments on distilled beverages globally (a Dowd's Guides site)
Distillery/arts project for Upstate NY
They are planning to build the Dancing Cat Distillery on Route 17B near Bethel Woods, a project that would include a tasting room for their distilled spirits, plus a venue for music and other art forms.
The Sullivan County Industrial Development Agency announced it secured a Rural Business Enterprise Grant for the project from the U.S. Department of Agricultural. It will purchase the distilling equipment, and lease it to the distillery. The leasing fees will go into a revolving fund used to finance other local agricultural projects.
The 5,000-square-foot building is targeted for a spring 2010 opening. Groundbreaking will take place in September, and Sachs and Cohen intend to begin production this winter. Their plans call for the production of distilled spirits utilizing crops from local farmers, as well as from on-site fruit orchards. The distillery will produce vodka, baby bourbon, gin, whiskey, brandy and grappa for sale to visitors and local establishments, and will also offer tasting tours.
"I am still amazed at the way everyone came together to make this happen," Sachs said. "There were so many people on the state, county and town level who are behind this project and played a part in the grant process. In the end, everyone in the county wins because of this renewed support of agricultural development."

Although I support Stacy and Monte, who have visited us at Tuthilltown Spirits in Gardiner, NY, in their effort to create local spirits from local agricultural materials; they are not going to be making any Baby Bourbon. That is a Brand Name of Tuthilltown Spirits and part of our lineup of seven HUDSON WHISKEYS. Just soes there's no confusion. Ralph Erenzo, Tuthilltown Spirits Farm Distillery.

Quite a snappy comment for one who claims to be "supportive"!

My comments do not have anything to do with Stacy and Monte or their project, they were directed to the writer's use of the term and nothing more. And I put my name on my comments, rather than to duck behind "Anonymous".

Nashville's Framing Hanley are hitting the music scene hard after a few year break where they left their old record label and struggled to put together a new album.
In April, the band finally released their third album, The Sum of Who We Are, on Imagen Records after raising money to create it through a successful Kickstarter campaign.
The album is a true labor of love and the band is overjoyed to be back out on the road playing the new material.
This weekend, Framing Hanley will be hitting Michigan for two big shows. Tomorrow night they will be playing Rock The Mitten at The Crofoot in Pontiac along with Andrew W.K., Kaleido and Of Mice and Musicians. The show is in support of Suits For Soldiers, who provide various types of help for soldiers struggling after coming home.
On Saturday, Framing Hanley will be hitting one of the stages at the Birch Run Expo Center for Dirt Fest along with bands like Killswitch Engage, Powerman 5000, Battlecross and Tantric.
Framing Hanley vocalist, Kenneth Nixon was happy to give fans a little preview of the shows and talk about everything the band went through to get their album made and where they go from here.
Q: You have a couple of Michigan dates this weekend on Friday and Saturday. Are you looking forward to playing those?
Nixon: We have a good time every time we come out and play there. That's actually where the band starting out touring so there's just a kind of feeling and reception that we always get there. It's one of those places outside of our own home state that we really love coming through and always feels like a home away from home. Every time we return to Michigan it's a treat. Now we have a Michigan-native in our band, our bass player Jonathan Stoye is from there so it's gonna be a good time. For as long as we spent on this album, and we did, it's really going to be a treat to get out there and play shows live. We just go out on stage with a lot of energy and it's like, well alright! The fun part is that coming to Michigan is almost like being on a whole other level.
Q: How did Friday's Rock The Mitten show come about? Have you toured with Andrew W.K. before?
Nixon: No, we're just opening for him this show. The show is in support of Suits For Soldiers and the people had asked us if we wanted to be a part of it and since we were going to be in the area for Dirt Fest, it worked out. We are really happy to be involved with this and the fact that Andrew W.K. is hosting the event means it's just going to be a big party, for sure.
Q: Then you are playing Dirt Fest on Saturday. There are a lot of great local and national bands on the bill. What sets are you looking forward to seeing this weekend?
Nixon: Killswitch Engage for sure. I'm really happy that Jesse [Leach, vocalist] is back with them and I'm a huge fan of that band. Nothing More is another band who has kind of just popped up here from out of nowhere and they are absolutely phenomenal from what I hear. They seem to do some cool stuff so I want to check that out. There's quite a few bands on there. They've got something for everyone. We're excited about it and I think we're a little different from all the other bands on the bill so it will hopefully be kind of cool to be the band that sticks out. It gives us a little something to prove.
Q: What song in your live set right now are you enjoying playing the most?
Nixon: Like I said, when you're at home not touring for as long as we were, every song is fun. I guess for me it would probably have to be "Collide". It's just a lot of fun and we just now made that one the opener of our set; little spoiler there! That kind of sets the tone for the rest of the show. Dirt Fest is a little bit of a smaller set so it will be cool to kick it off with that energy right off the bat, especially when you feel the song is the most fun in the set. It really does set the mood for the rest of the show.
Q: You mentioned all of the time and work that went into getting The Sum of Who We Are album out. Can you talk a little bit about that and how you chose to go the Kickstarter route?
Nixon: Yeah, back in 2012 we mutually agreed to part ways with our former label and basically we were just at a crossroads where we had material and no way to get it out there. Frankly we all had families and when that relationship with our former label was over, we had a bunch of responsibilities that we had to take care of first. The idea of asking our fans to help support us in making an album didn't sit well with us but a few bands that we were fans of had started using things like Kickstarter and Indiegogo and other avenues and it had worked. They found ways to include the fans in unique ways and making it something that they actually wanted to get involved in. I was like, ultimately if you look at is as a fan would as a consumer, if they are going to buy this cd, this is them kind of looking at it as a way for them to kind of be involved in a way where they are getting above and beyond just what the product is. As a consumer they are getting it at that same price but they are also getting other things like extra songs or a t-shirt and one guy got to name a song on the album that will be called that for the rest of our lives. So we just thought if we did some cool stuff that maybe some people would want to be involved but that being said, never in a million years did we think that the Kickstarter would raise as much as it did: over $60,000. That really made us step it up to a whole new level. These are people that invested in this may not say that they had a set vision for how good it should be, as silly as that sounds, but it made us try harder to please these people for sure. I mean, they spent their hard-earned money. There was a lot of re-visiting tracks so we can make sure that we had songs that we could stand behind and present to these people. So it took a lot of time. I'm not a person that typically believes everything happens for a reason but with the delay we ended up constructing an album that I know is the best work we've released in our career. Because of that, an indie label, Imagen Records, liked what we were doing and they came on board. Then after we knew that it was done, we decided to go back in a track a few more songs and see what would come from it, and this was after already recording thirty-five songs, but we ended up adding two more songs at the end and those ended up being the first two tracks on the album and ended up being released as our first two singles, "Criminal" and "Twisted Halos".
Q: Both seem to have done pretty well and the reception of the album as a whole seems to be going well.
Nixon: It's been awesome! It feels good when you do this much work and effort and to go through the things we went through and see people respond so well. It's gotten a lot of positive reviews and the people who were involved with the Kickstarter project seemed to be happy with the final product.
Q: If you had to choose one thing that makes this one stand out from your other albums, what would it be?
Nixon: Well I think the title says it all. This album is really a collaborative effort or a sum of all parts. All of the band members put a lot of work into the album and then our fans really bailed us out when for all intents and purposes it looked like it may have kind of hit a dead end. Those people really supported us and believed in us and made connections with these songs that we never imagined. That's the beautiful thing about this that we never envisioned as a rock band. When you start out you don't really think about making songs that are going to stay with people for the rest of their lives but for some of these people that's something special that can never be taken away and for a band that connection makes everything worth it. For us, this album is really a way for us to tell the story that this really is us and you. During the three years of working on this, we wrote songs about things that we were going through and I think it really represents us as a band as well as what our fans mean to us. We never plan on doing another Kickstarter but it's something very special and a time that we will never forget. We want our fans to know how special they are to us.
Q: Moving forward, where do you see the band going?
Nixon: You know, hopefully we will make another album in two years. It's kind of like experiencing things for the first time all over again because things had quieted down a lot. I've seen some magazine articles asking where are Framing Hanley and now it's like here we are and I think it's kind of a re-introduction for people who may have heard of us when we released "Hear Me Now" or our cover of "Lollipop". So it's really good and it's re-invigorating right now. It's a very inspiring time and I mean we haven't stopped writing. We've kept it going through all of this and it's fresh and inspirational. Hopefully we can continue this cycle over the next decade or more and maybe the fan base grows. That would be awesome.
Q: What do you think has changed the most for you as a band since you first started out?
Nixon: Well I think we're definitely a better band in a lot of ways than we were seven years ago. I watch videos and we look pretty goofy to me. I mean we started out when we were kids so we were pretty wet behind the ears and hadn't really been outside of our small town. We learned a lot from some of the other bands we went out with like Evans Blue. Our very first show was with them at the Machine Shop and it was a sold out show. We definitely weren't ready but that's part of the reason why we love to tour because we know that you learn to be a better band that way from other bands that are out there doing what you're doing. We were always looking to become more seasoned and add more to our show and become better musicians. Yeah, so we are definitely a much better band than we started out.
Q: Will you be releasing any more singles from the album?
Nixon: Yes, there's talk about "Collide" being next. I'm not sure when. We are really pushing the "Twisted Halos" single in the UK right now so it's one of those things where the label may see how well it is doing and decide to release that in the U.S. instead. We'll see how it goes. Now that we have a label involved, we have management to make those decisions and I just get to sit back and be a musician. I haven't done that in a long time.
Q: Is there one place in particular in the world that you still want to get out and play?
Nixon: Well we're going back to Europe and we've been lucky that our sets over there have always gone well. There's a nice UK fan base over there but surprisingly we have never gone to Canada. We'd love to go to South America and see the Brazilian fan base down there, or as we like to say, family. Obviously we'd like to go to Japan as well. There's a number of places we haven't hit yet.
Q: Now that you are back out on the road, what's your favorite way to pass the time when you're not on stage?
Nixon: Man, fantasy football season is going to be starting up pretty soon so that's gonna take up all my time. Yeah that helps pass the time. I have a little boy, a four year old, and when I have any downtime I try to be home as much as I can. It's hard sometimes on the road. When we are out there though, it's definitely all football and we are all huge hockey fans and we play all the NHL games on the video game consoles. We like to kick each others butts on the bus.
Q: What do you think was the best thing you did starting out that helped you grow your fan base?
Nixon: I don't know. I mean there's not a mentality about our band, we're just us, and I think fans see that. There's no front for us to put up and no character for us to be; we're just five dudes that love to play music that are lucky enough to be able to do that for a living. We are able to play it live for people who are passionate about the music for itself. We have always tried to let people know how much their support means. I think that's one thing that a lot of bands start out not acknowledging that; they let the rock star status go to their heads. Just be yourself and be real and be loyal to those people who are loyal to you.

Asian Science Camp
Maori Students to Attend Prestigious Science Camp
Five of New Zealand's top young scientific minds will attend the prestigious youth science gathering at the Asian Science Camp in Jerusalem – Israel which will be held 26-30 August. The five young Māori students, studying at The University of Auckland have been selected to represent New Zealand and are supported by Ngā Pae o te Māramatanga, New Zealand's Indigenous Centre of Research Excellence, and the Maurice Wilkins Centre. They will join nearly 300 other brilliant young minds from over 22 other Asian and Pacific countries.
The students are
Awhina Hona, Michael McLeod, Leighton Watson, Hanareia Ehau-Taumaunu
and Molly Anderson.
The Asian Science Camp will feature talks and workshops led by at least five Nobel Prize Winners, among them the two Israeli winners Robert J Aumann (economics) and Aaron Ciechanover (chemistry). The others include Makoto Kobayashi (physics) from Japan, Roger Kornberg (chemistry) from the U.S.A. and Yuan T Lee (chemistry) from Taiwan. In addition to these, the participants will hear lectures and will be instructed by 30 Israeli scientists who are among the most senior leaders of their fields in the world, among them Laureates of the Wolf Prize in the Sciences and other prestigious awards. In addition, the opening ceremony will be held by yet another Nobel Prize Winner, President Shimon Peres.
Bringing the Asian Science Camp, an all Asian forum, to Israel is an important achievement that has been defined as the 'flag ship project' of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs for 2012. The project was planned to be the peak of the events marking "Asia's Year in Israel", a special year in which Israel commemorates year round anniversaries for the establishment of diplomatic relations with some of the largest and most influential countries of the continent.
The Director-General of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Rafael Barak, said: "It was important for the State of Israel to bring about comprehensive and wide participation of as many countries as possible and, despite the short time that we had available to us, the conference in Israel will be the largest one held thus far in terms of the number of participants."
Director General Barak added that the promotion of relations with the nations of Asia – the rising star in the international system – stands at the centre of the Foreign Ministry's agenda. "The special opportunity to bring to Israel such an important all-Asian event in the field of science, goes perfectly hand-in-hand with the diverse activities of the Foreign Ministry in the countries of Asia, precisely in these areas of science and technology, in which Israel, although a small country, is labelled as a powerhouse for scientific-technological innovation and progress, and constitutes an object for study and esteem for its achievements."
"Israeli diplomacy," says Barak "is acting to long-range planning or a "long journey" for enhancing people to people interactions and exchanges in all fields and areas, in a way that will benefit both Israel and our Asian counterparts. Science has no borders and in that sense we hope that the 2012 Science Camp in Israel will help us enhance our mutual understanding and bring us closer together."
In addition to the academic content, the lectures by leading scientists and the encounters with Nobel Prize Laureates, the participants will be treated to field trips around Israel. The aim of the Science Camp organisers is to expose the young guests to Israel's diversity, history and culture.
The five young New Zealand scientists will travel to Israel on Thursday, August 23.

It's not actually the bike I am concerned about but the shifters. So I got the tiagra brifters a 105 front and a Tiagra rear. What I am curious about is if the rear is a "GS" or a "SS" I can see nothing on the body to indicate this. The brifters are dual control so they work with a triple which is not what I want to do with it anyways.

Imagine Eden if you would. Adam was formed by God, of God and in the image of God. He was given authority over the Earth, which mean the Earth was in subjection to Adam. Let's examine that for a moment. If the earth was subjected to the Authority of Adam -it must do what Adam told it to do or thought about doing. If Adam was hot, the earth yielded (gave up) shade. If Adam was thirsty, the earth yielded water from itself towards Adam. It rain (upward) for Adam to drink. If Adam was hungry, the trees in obedience opened up themselves, produced, and yielded its fruit to Adam. Adam at that time did not have to labor for it. He did not have to sweat. All Adam had to do it need it, think it and receive it. See we are stuck in how this world works now that we get some of the scriptures confused. In Matthew 21:19, When Jesus was hungry and saw a fig tree and it did not bear fruit and cursed it, it was not that he was angry. The tree was not operating under the Authority set forth by God. The tree because it was in the presence of His Divine Authority should have began to produce and bore a fruit to satisfy the hunger of Christ. He cursed the tree of its earthy disobedience to His Heavenly Authority. The withering of the tree was because if it does not serve the purpose that God Ordained it is of no use to the Kingdom, so it might as well not exist.

Grading the performance of the New Orleans Saints' special teams in the team's 44-38 loss to the Carolina Panthers on Sunday at the Mercedes-Benz Superdome: 1.5 fleur de lis out of four.
The highlight for this unit was kicker Garrett Hartley's 53-yard field goal to end the first half. It was pretty slim pickings after that as the return teams failed to make any game-changing plays and the coverage team gave up a critical 67-yard punt return to Armanti Edwards in the fourth quarter. Kickoff returner Travaris Cadet had to leave the game with a shoulder injury which forced Darren Sproles to handle all the returns. The Saints had Thomas Morstead try two onside kicks in the fourth quarter as they were in desperation mode but neither attempt worked. The Saints didn't score a touchdown off of a punt or kickoff return all season. Hartley ended his season 18 of 22 on field-goal attempts while Morstead came up short of his pursuit of the single-season net punting record. That 67-yard return knocked his net average to 43.2 yards. His gross average of 50.1 yards is a franchise high.
