Amsterdam has always been the crossroads of the cannabis genetics trade -- and it always will be.
Disagree? Then you need to come to the Cannabis Cup and see for yourself the history and knowledge behind the world's master seed breeders. From old school to new school, anyone who is anyone in the genetics game is here this time every year.
Here's a quick look at some of the top players on the scene in Amsterdam this November.
Loud Seeds
The seeds are small, but the flowers are the reason Loud Seeds are lauded.
Relative newcomers to the Cup circuit, Loud Seeds made a big splash in 2012, taking home two first-place wins for hybrid in both San Francisco and Amsterdam, winning with Headband and Loud Scout respectively.
For this year's Amsterdam Cup, Loud Seeds launched their sister seed company, Loud 9 Genetics. It's their boutique line of well-selected phenotypes for pre-existing strains.
Between the two seed companies, Loud entered four separate strains into this year's Cup in Amsterdam.
Headband is a hybrid with a lineage that looks very familiar to East Coast Sour Diesel fans: Chem '91 x Mass Super Skunk x Northern Lights #5.
This year we also have hybrid Chem Scout, a cross between the Chem '91 and Girl Scout Cookies.
Each company also took shots in the sativa division with the 7/8 Sour (an original Loud: Sour x Spicy Jack -- backcrossed twice with Sour again) from Loud Seeds, and Jack is Back [J1 x (J1xBubblegum)] from Loud 9.
Keep an eye out for some feminized lines coming from the Loud crew in 2014, as well as some newly selected Chem and Amnesia phenos from the Loud 9 side. If you haven't heard the name yet, take out the earplugs and get ready for some Loud.
Celebrating their 20th anniversary, THSeeds is still at the top of the game with reports that this year's entries are perhaps the best ever submitted by the Amsterdam-based seed company.
With a new breeding projects going on in both Holland and Spain, THSeeds took a slightly different approach this year when it came to growing their flower entries. "To celebrate the anniversary, we decided to pop a bunch of seeds for each of our varieties to find the best flowers," says the Medicine Man, a manager at THSeeds. "Of course, the other option would be to grow from clone -- as many competitors do -- but to grow from seed can reinvigorate a stable phenotype and in the case of THSeeds entries that new vigor is showing."
THSeeds went with an original F1 pheno for the hybrid division, entering their Old School Bubblegum. On this their 10th anniversary winning the indica Cup, THSeeds had to go with the MK Ultra -- an original OG Kush phenotype -- that took home the first-place prize in 2003.
For their sativa entry they brought a newer version of their Burmese Kush (or BuKu for short) calling it the BuKu Reloaded.
Be sure to check out the latest seed offerings from THSeeds as the team has assembled a promo package of several prized strains combined into one commemorative set.
Devil's Harvest Seed Co.
Fresh off their second-place finish in last year's Cannabis Cup in Amsterdam, Devil's Harvest is pushing hard this year with a new line of reworked genetics.
Of course, they have brought back the Shoreline hybrid that took home the prize in 2012, but they have also entered their rendition of an OG phenotype dubbed simply, "Rollex" which was entered as their indica entry.
With a grow team that is enthusiastic about quality buds, Devil's Harvest is experimenting with Kyle Kushman's Veganic nutrient line and having great success. Look for new hybrid lines from Devil's Harvest coming out in 2014, including a new strain spawned from the stabilized Shoreline as well as a new experiment entitled the Duster OG -- a cross of DH's Kuchi with the fabled Jew Gold strain.
Elemental Seeds
If you are a fan of OG Kush you have probably heard about the boys from Elemental Seeds. Since coming onto the cannabis competition scene in 2010, Elemental and their True OG line has racked up five awards from HIGH TIMES in Cups held in the US and Amsterdam.
Those awards include second-place finishes in 2010 and 2011 in San Francisco, two more second-place finishes in Seattle and Amsterdam in 2012, and a grand first-place finish in Seattle in 2013, the True OG seems to keep getting better with age.
Drawing on expertise from Jason (aka, Montana) and Tony, two top Cali growers and breeders (formerly of Reserva Privada), Elemental has formed a partnership that bodes very well for their future in seeds.
In the pipeline for 2014 are a few new OGs such as Elemental's All-Spark OG and Watermelon, a hybrid project that utilizes the prized Kosher Kush genetics.
Look for more big things out of this California-based crew and check out their site.
That's all for this week amigos. Look for more seed and strain articles from me, Nico, in HIGH TIMES, including a new monthly column dedicated to cannabis genetics, seeds and the preservation of our precious lineages.
In the meantime, stay tuned for the Cup winners coming live out of Amsterdam tomorrow evening.

Andrew Cunningham '05
Integrated Safety Senior Engineer
Volkswagen Group of America Inc.
Auburn Hills, MI
Majors: International Affairs / Mechanical Enginering
Language: German
Study Abroad: Germany, Hungary, Austria
My goal since the 8th grade--to work for a German automobile company--initially became a reality at Audi of America in Auburn Hills, Michigan, and continued thereafter. The path to reach this goal started with four years of high school German and a year in Kiel, Germany, through the Congress-Bundestag Youth Exchange scholarship program. There I proceeded to become fluent in German, which gave me the foundation to reach my goal.
Andrew Cunningham '05 next to Audi R8 at the track in Las Vegas
At UNH I learned of the International Affairs (IA) dual major program and, with the helpful guidance of Marina Markot from the CIE and Tracey Harvey and advisors of the Mechanical Engineering (ME) Department, I was able to pursue the dual major and aim for international jobs. Through the ME program I spent a semester at the Budapest University of Technology and Economics. Due to the combined requirements of the IA dual major, I opted for the four- and-a half-year plan and am very glad I took the extra semester.
In my final summer between academic years, I parted from my summer employment consisting of outdoor adventure trips and sought out an international internship. I applied to IAESTE, the International Association for the Exchange of Students for Technical Experience, was placed in Lódź, Poland, and started gathering professional experience. My next step was an extra semester through the Bowling Green State University exchange program to Salzburg, Austria, to finish up the remaining university requirements. I thoroughly enjoyed every minute overseas and grew in ways I never expected on the trail of this international position I had been seeking.
My professional career has been relatively diverse with content that incorporates my IA dual major. My first position was a product support engineer for Audi where the group monitored product quality in the field and reported findings for product improvements to the engineers and the factory. In addition, I coordinated the 2007 TT and 2008 R8 new product launch for the US market. Subsequently, I moved on to an engineering firm and worked on a hybrid battery development project among other endeavors.
Currently, I am at Volkswagen Group of America supporting both Audi and VW in the US, focusing on the development of integrated safety systems. Among the systems involved in integrated safety are vehicle-to-vehicle and vehicle-to-infrastructure communications, forward collision warning, electronic stability control, intersection movement assist, and lane departure warning. My responsibilities with VW/Audi include working with government agencies and with other vehicle manufacturers on policy and product development.
International business, especially in the technical automotive world, is a fast-paced and exciting area in which to work. Working with international development teams combined with a government-funded vehicle manufacturer collaborative proves to be a complex task every day. UNH and the International Affairs program played a vital role in providing the guidance and education required to help me perform in this function. I extend many thanks to the Mechanical Engineering and International Affairs Programs and faculty at UNH who helped me prepare for the international technical business world.

Managing a company requires knowledge, dedication, organizational skills and ingenuity. To effectively manage a company, get informed about hiring and managing employees, budgeting, marketing, and tax and employment laws. Here are a few strategies for the successful management of a company.
1Outline your vision for the company. Think about the ultimate goal of your product or service. The overall vision for the company may be to address a need, provide a service or create something new. Generating revenue is a given goal for companies, so the vision statement should be broader than a statement about profits.
2Analyze the company budget. Assess your financial status. The development of new products and services requires staff and resources. Determine how much money you can devote to these expenses. Factor in overhead costs for rent, utilities, marketing and other business-related expenses. Create a contingency fund to set aside in the event of emergency needs. Hire a finance person, if necessary, to handle these tasks.
3Make decisions about marketing efforts. Marketing activities in larger companies are generally handled by a department or a team of people. In a small business, you may be responsible for overseeing marketing efforts. Determine how you will market your products or services. Delegate marketing tasks to employees and monitor their progress.
4Hire and manage employees.
- Advertise for qualified workers. Choose from a variety of methods for hiring new employees, such as posting Internet ads, hiring a recruitment firm, placing an ad in the newspaper or spreading the word in niche-specific networks. To attract qualified candidates, be specific about your hiring needs and requirements.
- Interview prospective employees. Put applicants at ease by being personable and communicative. Project a professional image during the interview by being attentive and dressed in business attire. Limit the conversation primarily to business-related matters.
- Familiarize yourself with employment laws. Study the requirements in your jurisdiction and industry for laws related to employee hours, breaks, tax requirements and benefits.
- Decide on your management style. Empower employees by explaining tasks and allowing them to manage their duties, checking in with you for clarification as needed. Alternatively, schedule regular check-in sessions with employees to evaluate progress on specific projects or tasks.
- Address employee needs and conflicts. Create an environment of open communication for employees to approach you regarding professional conflicts. Address conflicts by listening, asking questions, showing objectivity and taking a solution-oriented approach to resolving problems.
5Assess company progress. Decide on a regular time frame for evaluating your company's progress towards its goals. You might engage in this assessment on a weekly, monthly or quarterly basis. Take this time to evaluate your marketing efforts, product sales, financial health, employee issues and all other business-related matters.
6Take courses in business management. In the process of managing a company, you may recognize skill areas in need of strengthening. Conflict resolution, marketing knowledge, technical skills and employee management are a few of the areas that may need further development. Contact colleges, universities or business institutes for course offerings. Being mentored by experienced business leaders is also an option.

Including the change in gas prices in Arkansas during the past week, prices yesterday were 31.5 cents per gallon lower than the same day one year ago and are 10.2 cents per gallon lower than a month ago. The national average has decreased 13.7 cents per gallon during the last month and stands 31.2 cents per gallon lower than this day one year ago. "As the cooler temperatures continue to invade the U.S., gasoline prices continue to cool off as well, with the national average declining for yet another week," said GasBuddy.com Senior Petroleum Analyst Patrick DeHaan. "Oil prices were within an arms reach of dropping under $100/bbl last week, but haven't yet crossed that line just yet. Meanwhile, gasoline prices have slowed their descent, with the national average moving just slightly lower over the last seven days. The cities that had seen average gasoline prices under $3/gal have dried up, yet eighteen states still have at least one station selling gasoline under that level. The bad news? Oil and gasoline futures may be more volatile this week as the Fed shutdown is over, and the Energy Information Administration releases data about supply and demand for the last two weeks. Should that data be surprising, it may have an impact on the direction of gasoline prices in the days ahead," DeHaan said.

I'd like to store a load of CDs of my laptop, so I can take them with me without having to carry the CDs (ultimately planning to play them through an external dac in my office ). I'd like to use lossless compression to store these - so want software that maintains sound quality, makes files smaller, is preferably free or cheap, and prefarably with a UI that doesn't suck.
I've got Sony's multimedia software on my laptop, but see the last comment about UIs. I could obviously use Windows Media Player, but is there something better I could use? (I've tried iTunes, and don't like it...)

So let's say I have a server running on node.js, and there is an array of player objects...
At an interval, all of these player objects are looped and processed for events and changes that are based on time, such as fuel or food consumption and movement.
However players can also trigger things from the client that could modify player data as well.
Now what I'm trying to determine is if I am going to run into any problems with timing, such as if we are mid loop and somebody changes something and it throws some other calculation off balance.
Will I need to implement some kind of locking mechanism I can use as needed or is there a better way to hold this data in memory?

Provincial 1:1 eLearning Program Sets Example for Rest of Turkey
Province of Kocaeli, Turkey, boosts ICT literacy with 1:1 technology integration program.
Based on original data collection and analysis by researchers at Anadolu University in Eskişehir, Turkey, in collaboration with SRI International and Intel
The metropolitan province of Kocaeli, Turkey, is among the most industrialized and wealthy in the country. To sustain the region's economic growth and eventually become the "Silicon Valley of Turkey," the local government recently invested in a successful 1:1 technology integration program.
Kocaeli's integration program began in 2009 with an initial pilot rollout of about 27,000 Intel-powered classmate PCs to sixth-grade students across the province. Another 27,000 devices were distributed in the fall of 2010. The plan is to continue distributing 27,000 devices a year through 2013, for a total of 130,000 PCs. The computers are provided free to the students and their homeroom teachers, with customized software pre-loaded on each PC.
The success of the province's 1:1 technology integration program is in large part due to the leadership of the local government, involvement of key stakeholders, and the continued integration of professional development efforts for teachers. For other cities and provinces in Turkey and around the world, the project serves as an example of how local initiatives can improve education and build a better future for communities.

At this year's Tribeca Film Festival, there's been a lot of talk about alternative forms of distribution for films. Actress Gillian Jacobs discussed wanting a simultaneous theatrical and On Demand release for her new film "Life Partners", while screenwriter Zachary Wigon wrote that some small films might reach more audiences by just sticking to film festivals rather than trying to get any theatrical distributions.
Then this happened. Joss Whedon announced online after the screening of his movie "In Your Eyes" that he'd just put out the movie for Vimeo download, for $5 rentals, with subtitles available in 5 different languages. No cable or satellite TV subscription needed, no move to Netflix or Amazon or even the ITunes store. Just go to InYourEyesMovie.com. Total DIY.
This isn't the first time Whedon's shaken things up with an online release. Remember the writer's strike in 2007? When it felt like we might never get original movie or TV content again, and Jay Leno was writing his own jokes at the Tonight Show?
In the midst of all that, Whedon released Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog direct to the Net. The product itself was as odd as its method of release, a 42-minute sci-fi musical comedy, in three acts released (for free) one by one over the course of a week.
At the time, Whedon claimed Dr. Horrible's release was a reaction to the frustration of the writers' strike.
"What we wanted to do was make it accessible to people and fun, and make a point about the Internet, which is 'There are no rules so let's all get out there and plaaay."
The advice he gave then could just as easily been applied to his rationale for InYourEyesMovie.com:
"There's one thing I know for certain, which is a lot of the old structures are going to be come untenable, as the movie studios and TV studios entrench in a manner similar to the music industry….These little independent ventures are going to become the best way for people to express themselves and perhaps the only way."
The "In Your Eyes" release is of the most invigorating moves for an independent film in a while, and because of Joss Whedon's name brand, it'll get a lot of filmmakers thinking about similar distribution.
However, it's disappointing in once again going direct from the theatrical experience to an at-home experience. More and more, these kind of independent films are not going to be seen by strangers together in a darkened room, but rather by individuals and groups of friends gathering around screens togethers. For those of us who grew up enjoying going out to the cinema, it's a bit of a letdown to see such big names deciding the Net is their best option.
Still, Whedon will likely get many more eyes to the screen with InYourEyesMovie.com than he would have gotten through traditional routes. This is likely to get a lot of filmmakers talking, and distributors shaking in their boots...

I am curious how many non-LEO, private citizen concealed carry licensees carry a Backup Gun. Here in New Mexico, we are not allowed to. Is it pretty common in most other states to allow a BUG?

I am curious how many non-LEO, private citizen concealed carry licensees carry a Backup Gun. Here in New Mexico, we are not allowed to. Is it pretty common in most other states to allow a BUG?
I can't vote... my choice is not in it!
My state allows it, but I am not carrying one at the moment. Plan to!
I carry a Kel-Tec P32 in my pocket -- I got so used to it that it just seems to stay there even with my 45 ACP on my belt.
I think its a little overkill to carry a BUG in most situations, but to each his own. I dont know why a state would not allow BUGS, it really doesnt make a difference in anything they should be concerned with.
Keep a .32 in my pocket always. Much the same as David III, just forget it is there then the 9mm on my side.
I 95% of the time I carry a BUG (P32) available to the weak hand.
Minnesota has no limit on the number of gun you can carry at any one time. Some times go out with friends who carry and there is a designated Shooter and Driver and his waist band looks like an armory and walks funny be cause of all of the weight.
I carry a BUG too, what' wrong with having a gun for each hand?
Sometimes I carry a BUG but generally I don't.
Virginia has no restrictions on the # of guns you can carry, so I guess they allow it because they don't prohibit it, the same as for open carry. I carry one. . . . sometimes
I have a P3AT that is use when necessary but I don't carry it as a BUG. Carrying two is a bit much IMO.
My state doesn't prohibit it, but geez... I feel anchored down enough carrying one gun. I think I'd be pretty annoyed if I felt like I needed to carry a BUG, too.
In the nine year hiatus between LE gigs I carried a BUG and do so today as an LEO again.
I live by the theory that, "One is none and two is one." Besides, with all the positons one can find oneself in you may not have your "Dominant" hand free to draw your weapon.
Biker :tumbleweed:
We can carry as many as we want, but I don't choose to do so.
I carry one on rare occasions. In MN there is no restriction on number of guns you can carry at one time.

Polaris just got a little hotter...
Perhaps it was his wild black hair and indigo eyes, or maybe it was his enigmatic aura, but there was something about Hyna Blue that drew Gem. The man had clearly done hard labor, his cybernetic implants gave him increased strength, but he was no longer whole…and now he was getting drunk in her tavern. Yes, Hyna Blue aroused instincts both carnal and nurturing. Gem's blood had been fiery to start with. Blue heated it even more.
Of course, since the planet of Polaris discovered its trainum mine, things were hot all over. Prosperity had blown in on a solar wind, along with many disreputable types, the least deceptive of which were the shape-shifting aliens. The ruined beauty of one patron and his drunken proposals were the least of Gem's worries—and perhaps her one solace. Like her father had named it long ago, this inn was The Spark. Gem had to survive the blaze.

Weekend update:
Sunday, November 18, 2012
Friday I worked and took as an 'official rest day'. I've been worried about taking a rest day as one rest day can turn into 3, 4 or so on. Friday I think maybe the good day to have a planned rest day as Saturday are swim class days that I've payed for and get's me right back at it. And we do all know that rest days are important. And I was by then feeling that I needed to let my legs recover for a bit.
Saturday morning up bright and early to go swimming. Got a good 1 1/2 swim in. My form and technic seam to be good. I may be moving up to a different lane after the holidays. I most likely won't be at swim lessons next week as we will be out of town.
After Swim lessons I had to go to Costco for groceries. Now that's a adventure on a normal day add that it's right after the 15th and on a Saturday, and the weekend before thanksgiving. OH MY! I thought they opened at 10:00 am. It's not far from swimming so I went as soon as I was done. Got there at 9;30. Figured I'd wait and be one of the first ones in and hope to be out before it got too crazy! Imagine my delight when I got there and saw they were OPENED! Not too many people there yet. I was able to get in and out by 10:00 am!
Then came the football game.
My team didn't play as good as they have been. They are hurt and it showed. It was a close hard fought game. I couldn't take it. The weather had cleared and so I went for walk around the park in my back yard. For about 45 min! Got the extra calorie burn done!
Sunday morning we got up and it was bike ride day. We picked the walking/bike path to do as the wind and rain are upon us. It's a bit safer to do it on the trail. It wasn't too bad until we came back. The last 10 miles where rainy and windy with side gust. In the end we did 28 miles @ 13.5 mph average speed. Not the best but I guess adding in the weather factor not too bad. My legs felt good at the end too.
Tonight we are headed to find out about the triclub team that I may join. It maybe something that I join next year, but today I want to go and find out about it.
On another note I think the scale maybe inching down!

It's More Than Just
Separation of
Church and State:
A Family History
by John Emery
Recently, I decided to explore my ancestral roots and I found some interesting parallels between myself and today's historic events. These parallels begin in 1635 when the John Emery Jr. family arrived in Boston aboard the "James," along with other religious refuge families who were seeking relief from the church; which at the time, was controlled by the Crown. This particular boatload of political hotheads stuck together once landing and began their own community. In 1640, eighty-one of these ancestral Act-Ups are made "freemen" and formally charter the town of Newbury, Massachusetts. Emery was then appointed to appraise all the properties in the new town for tax assessment and he later served as a juryman.
His political activism started quickly after he was brought up on charges of "excessive merriment" and later of "entertaining Quakers and other strangers." The second case brought a steep fine. He was angered by this sentence and initiated a petition. In his petitioned appeal, he challenged the moral and legal right of government to restrict the practices of other faiths that might allow for "merriment" and "entertai ning of Quakers." His appeal was denied.
Later he involved himself with a case of Lt. Pike and the Crown's denial to hear his petition for appeal. In this case, they were able to successfully argue for the right of all citizens to petition government and to have their petitions heard in court.
Emery's foray into activism also involved a major schism in the Massachusetts Bay Colonies at the time. The earlier Pilgrims had arrived seeking religious freedoms while later immigrants arrived for other reasons. Half wanted the control of the church to reside in the Body Politic (these were later known as members of the "Woodman Party," led by John Woodman); the other half wanted control to reside with the church officials and ultimately the Crown (these were called the "Parker Party"). This ideological rift continued until 1776 when this concept of freedom was written into the Constitution of Massachusetts, and later became central to the Constitution of the United States. This concept allows for the separation of church from state.
As a direct descendant of both Emery & Woodman, I am amazed by how histories repeat.
My first steps in activism began when the City and Borough of Anchorage, Alaska, decided to unify as a Municipality. This unification required a new constitutional charter that, when originally drafted, included "sexual orientation" as a protected class. All was well until the Chain-Sawthern Baptists, through the Moral Majority, waged a successful holy war that delayed the unification process and ultimately denied the gays due process. This Alaskan effort was led by Jerry Prevo, a Jerry Falwell-wannabe, without the weight problem and Gandhi-like compassion. One of our few supporters was City Assemblyman Tony Knowles (later Governor), a young, successful restaurateur. As a result of his unequivocal support, the Gay Community throws itself behind his successful Mayoral bid. Since there were no gay political organizations in Alaska at the time, we formed the Alaska Gay Coalition, which took on these battles. Soon afterward we incorporated Alaska's first gay political action committee, The Eleanor Roosevelt Club. For years, both of these organizations matched the efforts of the Moral Majority and their attempts to control governmental policy. After the gays, marijuana and the subsequent right of merriment were their next successful targets.
During this period, I was elected to represent Alaska on the National Steering Committee for the first March on Washington for lesbian and gay rights in 1979. This was the national lesbian and gay community's first attempt at a "constitutional congress," elected by the Body Politic from each state. The national delegate meetings, held around the country, and the march itself, were met with ugly demonstrations from the religious right. Many of the delegates would die of AIDS in the decades that followed.
Finally, in December 2003, the Supreme Court of the United States struck down the laws that invaded the privacy of the bedroom and lifted the "criminal" status of Gays. All gays and lesbians were instantly made freemen, entitling us to all the privileges and responsibilities of those who are no longer "indentured" nor "criminal." For years, the government used our "criminal" status to deny us all rights afforded all other freemen. Our final barrier to full equality has boiled down to the guy who shows up at our holy unions waving a sign that declares, "God Hates Fags"!
In 2004, the 25th anniversary of Harvey Milk's dream for the first march on Washington, we are yet again facing another holy war. This time, the Catholics, Baptists and Mormons want their definition of a "holy union" to be set into the United States Constitution. As a Lutheran, my chosen ministry defines "holy union" to include couples of the same sex. The issue is not of gay rights but the rights of renegade Lutherans (and other religions) to have their "holy unions" recognized by government in the same way that a Catholic "holy union" would be.
Americans have come to expect government to treat equally, in the form of tax law, Lutherans' "tithes" and Catholics' "purchase of an indulgence." To codify a gay Lutheran wedding as morally inferior to a Catholic wedding is against everything our Constitution stands for. A Lutheran's hotly debated and ever-changing definitions of "holy union" and "holy communion" are different than a Catholic's, and neither have ever been regulated by our Constitution before now.
Hopefully, most will see that the issue is more than one of lesbian and gay rights. Whether we struggle with the right of our church to practice "excessive merriment," "entertaining of Quakers" or "inter-racial and same-sex holy unions" the underlying principle of *self*-determination is the same. Bush's rallying of the Jihad Fundamentalists to amend the Constitution, denying the rights of Lutherans (and other religions) to define "holy union" as they choose, is just a 21st century attempt to rescind the Woodman/Parker Debate.
Churches that believe "God Loves Fags" must be recognized the same as the Churches that believe "God Hates Fags." Like it or not, it is the inevitable conclusion to our Constitution.
Privately, I wonder about the Pandora's box we're opening, knowing the propensity for male relationships to last two to three years, and female relationships to last two to three years longer than they probably needed to. Perhaps we'll teach others in our tailoring of this suit.
In observing Pascal's long conversion to Catholicism, Nietzsche observed this process to be the "slow suicide of reason." I hope he's wrong on that one. Like many, I think Christianity is a fabulous idea and that it's a crying shame no one has ever tried it.
PS to my daughter: I know it's difficult for the both of us, but you also must focus your attention away from the cute guys in history class and I can only pray that you and all of the other students at your Quaker college find our family history entertaining. Keep up the good work and always be merry. It's legal now. Luv ya, Papa John.

April 23, 2012
TUCSON, Ariz. – Senior gymnast Katie Matusik was named co-Female Senior Student Athlete of the year along with senior swimmer Alyssa Anderson in Monday's C.A.T.S. Banquet. Awards were given out based on academics, community service, and athletic achievements.
Matusik was honored with the Ruby Award – an honor given to the top female student athlete. Nominated due to her success over the last few years (and her achievements this season especially) Matusik is one of only three gymnasts to ever be up for the prestigious honor, and the second in the program's history to actually win (Heidi Hornbeek was the other recipient).
"This was an incredibly fantastic surprise. This is such a high honor. I am humbled by this; I feel like it is beyond certain awards that you can achieve, mostly because this is an award picked by such high up individuals that see such phenomenal athletes in every sport." head coach Bill Ryden said, "This is an honor for the team too; it takes a lot of people in athletics to make a person. I was over the top for the fact that she was nominated in the first place, so the fact she got it is fantastic."
Matusik earned the award thanks to her third place finish on balance beam at this past weekend's NCAA National Championships, as well as being named a first-team All-American on beam – the first Wildcat gymnast to do so in several years. Matusik is also a two-time first-team All-Pac-12 honoree on the balance beam, while holding collegiate bests of 9.875 on bars, 9.925 on beam and 9.875 on floor. Other highlights of her career included being the beam champion at the 2012 NCAA Regional Championship in Seattle and earning the 2011 Pac-10 Sportsmanship award.
"To go through the struggles that Katie has experienced throughout her career and come out with such a spectacular senior season as well as such a huge award is incredible. Katie's career has been a wild ride, and I couldn't be happier with the way it turned out for her, and for the team," Ryden said.

Over the past several years, Boise State has set a whole new standard of quarterback play. Most people will link the rise of Boise State back to the days of Bart Hendricks. Every quarterback to line up under center since that time was successful to some extent and some considerably more than others. Kellen Moore comes to mind when you talk about Boise State quarterbacks and who may be considered the best in Bronco's history. During the course of the next several weeks, I will profile the six most recent quarterbacks, which will culminate in one final article ranking these guys. The six quarterbacks are, in order of most recent to oldest, Joe Southwick, Kellen Moore, Taylor Tharp, Jared Zabransky, Ryan Dinwiddie, and Bart Hendricks. Sorry Grant Hedrick fans, just not enough playing time. Tharp at least played a full season. Other than Tharp, every quarterback on this list played at least two seasons, even if it was only part of two seasons, Southwick.
We could simply compare stats, which would clearly put Moore at the top of this list; however, we want to look, not just stats, but what have each of these quarterbacks done for the program, what they meant to the team. Would the teams have been successful without them or were they successful because of the team, system, or coach? Would any of these guys been successful in a major BCS conference or did they benefit from a weak conference?
These are things we will cover and discuss over the next several weeks and feel free to comment. There is little doubt this topic will spark conversation and debate. Just based on my own discussions with friends and family, there is definitely a wide range of opinions.

St Christoph in the Arlberg region of Austria forms part of the best ski area in Austria. The ski resort is directly linked to St Anton by the ski pistes and by resort shuttle. St Christoph is located on the Arlberg pass between St Anton and Zurs. Being linked to the St Anton means that guests in St Christoph have a vast ski area to explore. The resort has reliable snow both early and late season given the altitude and its location in the Arlberg.
Accommodation in the compact resort offers easy access to the lifts and the slopes run right into the heart of the resort. Not nearly as big or vibrant as the neighbouring St Anton, the village is well suited to those who want a more sedate stay, whilst accessing the absolute pinnacle of Austrian skiing terrain. Small, refined, traditional: a spacious yet very cozy mountain hut offering 700 guest beds. St. Christoph became famous in the 14th century when the shepherd Heinrich Findelkind built a hospice as a shelter against the whims of nature. Today St. Christoph offers a few hotels and inns. The evenings are best whiled away in rustic lounges where you can sample hearty dishes, fine wines and happy laughter. Real Resort Reviews: St Anton

3 face heroin charges after chase
Published: Wednesday, October 23, 2013 at 8:10 a.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, October 23, 2013 at 8:10 a.m.
Leland | Three area men were in custody Wednesday on heroin-related charges after being involved in a car chase Tuesday night that ended when Brunswick County deputies forced their vehicle off the road.
The brief police chase came to a halt about 9 p.m. near the U.S. 74/76 overpass, according to a news release from the Brunswick County Sheriff's Office.
The driver of the vehicle, Kyeric Tashaun Sweet, 20, of Seventh Street in Wilmington, is charged with possession with intent to manufacture, sell and deliver heroin, conspiracy to traffic heroin, felony fleeing to elude arrest, resisting, obstructing or delaying a police officer, and careless and reckless driving, the release said.
Malik Dion Matthews, 17, of Alamosa Drive, Wilmington, and Antwon Trelle Hansley, 19, of Ridgecrest Lane, Rocky Point, are charged with possession with intent to manufacture, sell and deliver heroin, and conspiracy to traffic heroin, according to the release.
The vehicle Sweet was driving was suspected of transporting heroin between New Hanover and Brunswick counties, according to the news release. Ninety bags of heroin were found in the vehicle, the release said.
Sweet's bond is set at $60,000. Matthews and Hansley are each being held on $50,000 bond, said sheriff's department spokeswoman Emily Flax.

Finally! The episode titles and synopses for the remaining episodes of "The Walking Dead" Season 4 have surfaced. On Wednesday, January 29, AMC revealed the titles and short episode descriptions. Note that spoilers may be ahead if you are not caught up with the walker-apocalypse show.
Episode 9, "After," was already revealed along with the synopsis, Rick deals with old wounds, members of the prison have to come to terms with their new environment and ask themselves if survival along is enough."
Now, here are episodes 10 – 16:
"Inmates" is the title for episode 10, and it is described as, "In the quest of stability and safety, the group faces many obstacles." It has been rumored that episode 10 will only feature Rick and Carl, so "the group" being in the episode synopsis makes us question this a bit. It could be production just trying to throw fans off, but we'll find out soon enough.
In episode 11, "Claimed," a number of immediate threats will plague Rick, as group members deal with their past.
"Still" is episode 12, and it will bring an enlightening mission from a request from one of the group members. Hmm, this one sounds very interesting. A mission requested by a member? Speculation includes – Glenn or Maggie requesting to find each other, Beth wanting to find Maggie or vice versa? Or perhaps this has something to do with a new member joining the group.
Episode 13, "Alone"
One group finds a shelter; a group has a realization about protection.
Episode 14, "The Grove"
After establishing a new shelter, the group considers things returning to they way they used to be.
Episode 15, "Us"
Survivors rely on brutality and faith.
Episode 16, "A" (Season Finale)
Many paths collide; Rick faces sheer brutality; the group struggles to survive.
"The Walking Dead" Season 4 returns with Episode 9, "After," on Sunday, February 9. If you can't wait to find out what happens next, like us on Facebook and follow us on Twitter to catch the latest spoilers on your newsfeed!

I have 4 Microsoft .NET Framework versions:
- 1.1
- 2.0 Service Pack 2
- 3.0 Service Pack 2
Do I need them all?
I have 4 Microsoft .NET Framework versions:
Do I need them all?
There are 4 distinct versions of the .net framework.
All of those can be installed and uninstalled independently. This is where it starts to get interesting! .NET 3 was introduced (along with a service pack to .NET 2) and was an additional set of libraries to it. .NET 3.5 followed this trend (with a second service pack for .NET 2 and a service pack for .NET 3) and again required .NET 2 as it just extended it.
The latest release is entirely standalone and does not require previous versions. It is mostly backwards compatible so it is possible to get your old applications to work on it.
Whether you need any of them or not depends on what you're running. Most applications out there are still built for .NET 2 to 3.5 so installing 3.5 will cover you for that. I would recommend installing 4 as looking forwards that's what Microsoft want people to be using.
.NET 4.5 (and 4.5.1, 4.5.2) is an in-place update to .NET 4.
.Net Framework 3.5 installation also installs all the previous versions from 2.0 and onward. Version 1.1 is an exception and has to be installed separately.
Since you seem to need the 3.5 SP1 version, this will also install all .Net versions from 2.0 and upwards. So you really have no choice about it, and attempting to uninstall one version may cause problems with the other versions that build upon it.
As there are very few products left that require .Net 1.1, one can wait with its installation until there is a real need for it. As it is not automatically installed, and if it is already installed, this means that it is required by some product that you have installed (unless you are on XP, where it is installed by default).
You have not mentioned .Net 4.0, but with this version Microsoft has tried to reduce the size of the software by not including all the previous versions. .Net 4.0 is therefore smaller, and is supposed to be backward-compatible with all previous versions from 1.1 and onwards. So in theory it is the only one you need.
Different applications need different frameworks and I guess there is no backward compatibility , so you might need them all , though you don't need to download them right away.
Not true about Net4 being all you need. I removed all versions and then installed ONLY v4. The first app I tried to run (Powermate) said it could not find the .NET Framework required. So I then installed Net v2 SP2 and the SP2 update and the App ran just fine.
If you have .NET 4 installed you can run any .NET application built with any framework from 1.1 on.

London calling?
What if I went to London in December? For some days, maybe five. I'm not yet sure if I'm going to go, but the thought of going is so very tempting. People have been in big cities alone before, maybe I could do it too. The questions are: should Paperiaarre go and be inspired by London, what to see, who to see, where to sleep/eat/be inspired? There are plenty of suggestions around the web, but they're there, around. And they're not your suggestions for me. I've been to London briefly, twice, but it was a long time ago. And I think I can go to London for the third time and skip Madame Tussauds for the third time.
(The photo of a zip pouch reminds me of a sleeping bag, that's the only relation to traveling.)
Update:London, I'm coming! Thank you all for your encouraging comments and e-mails! I'll be in London for a week, Dec 5th-12th. Drop me a line if you want to have an apple juice with me (you can have coffee or tea if you want!), it would be so nice to see the people behind blogs and comments etc. And if you have a list of must see places, drop me a line in that case too! Ooh, I'm so excited & happy! (Äiti, I'll be all right on my own. I won't go out alone too late and I have my phone with me all the time.)

I have spent quite a bit of time in big cities on my own - well almost. I've travelled with husband Will on his business trips to cities like Paris, Milan, Florence and spent the days on my own exploring while he worked, and then met up with him at night. A bit different I guess, but I do enjoy the anonymity of a foreign city.ReplyDelete
If you've been there before and have a sense of the city that would make it easier to head there alone - you can seek out your favourite places from previous visits for a start.
Yes, yes. book it and go - be inspired. Lovely.
that sounds so very wonderful.
wish i could meet up with you!
bit of a trip for Australia but it sounds like heaven to me.
and see if you can find an andy goldsworthy exhibition around... that would have been my favourite thing i did. oh. and the unfinished turner paintings at the old Tate. so loved those.
Yes! Come to London... I think it's a great city to explore by yourself (I live here, so maybe I don't understand how scary it can be). If you need any tips on places to go, or get lonely and want to meet up, let me know.ReplyDelete
OH... my favourite hang out spot is the Troubadour near Earl's Court station. It's a really old coffee house with an amazing atmosphere and they have live music downstairs. All the big names have played there in the past.
Hm... I'll be here if you need me!

London! you can definitely do it on your own! I could mail you a million places to visit. I would love to meet up with you, when? midweek can't do, weekend?ReplyDelete
yes. go, go, go! i've traveled alone to amsterdam 2 times, and loved it. yes, sometimes there were pangs of loneliness, but having the freedom to explore as much as you want is so amazing. my sister and i went to london in 2000 and didn't have each day fully planned. we just walked and walked, and there is so much you can see if the weather cooperates. you don't need an itinerary, just go and bring comfortable shoes. and your camera.ReplyDelete
however, it is good to have a few ideas jotted down (museums, a shop or two, a fun cafe), to get you moving. but what you'll find on your way there is always so much better.
sorry this is so long... i really want you to do it. traveling alone is an adventure i think every woman should do at least once.
and give yourself permission to sleep in at least one morning!
a few links to inspire you - ?ReplyDelete
Lucky, lucky girl! I am sure it is going to be so much fun! Great to meet fellow bloggers too! Look forward to the report back!ReplyDelete
Hi. I am a bookbinder who just moved back to the U.S. after 10 years in London. Two of my favorite bookbinding stops are Shepherd's and Falkiner Fine Paper (just bought by Shepherd's). I highly recommend you check them out! http://www.bookbinding.co.uk/Contact%20details.htmReplyDelete
Oh I last went to London on my own in 1987. So so glad you're doing it and so so sad I'm not there to meet and greet and sip x with you. ;-)ReplyDelete
