In America it's almost a national pastime to make fun of Rednecks.
But I love 'em.
On some days I swear I'm becoming one.
Shoot, one of my best friends is named JimBob.
Craig Morgan has a song called [URL="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uI7Ghu1FpnQ"][I]The Redneck Yacht Club[/I][/URL].
I was listening to it this morning while sitting in my sweats, sneakers, and Ferrari cap behind the school bus. It was stopped, lights-a-blinkin', waiting for the kids to climb on. Once they all got in and sat down I would be able to drop off my daughter at the Country Market, where she meets her ride to school, another 20 minutes up the road.
I got to thinking that there ought to be rules about some things.
Like what you wear outside of the house, for instance.
I know, I know, when you get right down to it, there's really not a lot of difference between a cheap tuxedo and a pair of overalls. They are, after all, both made of cotton.
Except that there is.
[URL="http://people.redneckvillage.com/_RedNeck-yacht-club/photo/950792/15067.html"][IMG]http://blogs.sun.com/bigadmin/resource/redneck_yacht.jpg[/IMG][/URL] And dropping off your little girl at the bus in pajama bottoms and bedroom slippers, a Marlboro hanging off your bottom lip, is simply not acceptable attire for any Momma. Redneck or not.
Even if the pajamas are a fashionable cerulian blue with tastefully spaced red and yellow 'possum prints that set off the faux fur on your bedroom slippers to best advantage.
After the bus left, she shuffled across the railroad tracks, waved at her friend standing in the window behind the rusty pontoon boat that's been parked in the front yard since 1982, bigger than the damn house, and headed home.
She lives next door to the RV storage and consignment lot. Each morning, she steps over the broken picket fence gate and goes back inside to finish her daily chores. Or last night's bottle of Jim Beam. Who knows. When you wear your pajama bottoms to the bus stop, anything is possible.
Even a proud people who value their freedom need standards.
For you, today, [URL="http://www.bigadmin.com"]BigAdmin[/URL] has a fine set of scripts by Prashant Pilankar. [B] [URL="http://www.sun.com/bigadmin/content/submitted/zfsufs_admin.jsp"]Scripts to Manage Oracle ZFS and UFS Filesystems[/URL] [/B]

Neuroscience Seminar Series

California Institute of Technology
Mission The goal of our research is to understand the brain mechanisms for object recognition and spatial vision in primates. How does the brain construct a geometrically accurate percept of 3D space and how does it recognize the myriad objects within it? Approach he primate visual system contains a large number of distinct areas specialized for different functions. We use fMRI in alert monkeys to identify the regions most activated by a specific visual function, and then we use electrophysiology, microstimulation, optogenetics, anatomical tracing, and mathematical modeling to understand the detailed processing occurring within these areas. FMRI gives a global perspective of activity across the entire brain, revealing all the activated areas, while targeted single-unit recordings allow one to understand the function of each area in terms of spiking patterns of single neurons.

The Minnesota Department of Transportation advises motorists to remain cautious as driving conditions have improved, but remain difficult due to blowing snow and slippery conditions.
Some highways in the area have been upgraded to difficult, or fair driving conditions after wet, heavy snow resulted in hazardous conditions causing cars, trucks and semi-trailers to become stalled along roadways.
Motorists should plan ahead if they need to travel and refer to 511mn.org for the most up to date road information. It takes time to get roads back to good driving conditions.
Snowplows have remained on the roads throughout the snowstorm doing their part to make highways safe. Motorists should remember to:
Be patient and remember snowplows are working to improve road conditions for your trip.
Stay back at least five car lengths behind the plow, far from the snow cloud. Snowplow operators will pull over when it is safe to do so to allow traffic build-up to pass.
Stay alert for snowplows that turn or exit frequently and often with little warning. They may also travel over centerlines or partially in traffic to further improve road conditions.
Slow down to a safe speed for current conditions. Snowplows typically move at slower speeds.
For additional tips on safe winter driving, go to www.mndot.gov/workzone.
For updated information on road conditions, visit www.511mn.org or call 511.

Senate Advances Fed Nominees Brainard, Powell and Fischer
The Senate advanced three of President Barack Obama's nominees to the Federal Reserve's Board of Governors on Tuesday, clearing the way to confirm them later this week.
The Senate ended debate on the nominations of Lael Brainard on a 59-35 vote and Jerome Powell, on a 58-36 vote, to spots on the central bank's seven-seat board. Ms. Brainard had served as undersecretary for international affairs at the Treasury Department until last November. Mr. Powell has served on the Fed board since 2012 and is up for a new term.
The chamber also cleared a procedural hurdle, on a 56-38 vote, in naming Stanley Fischer the board's vice chairman after confirming him as a member of the board last month. All three Fed nominees are expected to be confirmed by the Senate to their posts later this week, likely on Thursday. When all three are confirmed, the board will have five governors. The Fed holds its next policy meeting June 17-18.
A handful of lawmakers split their support among the Fed nominees. Two Republicans, Sens. Dan Coats of Indiana and Jeff Flake of Arizona, opposed Ms. Brainard and supported Mr. Powell. Three Republicans, Sens. Orrin Hatch of Utah, Mark Kirk of Illinois and John McCain of Arizona, did the reverse, voting for Ms. Brainard and against Mr. Powell.
As vice chairman, Mr. Fischer will succeed Janet Yellen, who became Fed chairwoman in February. An economist, Mr. Fischer previously led the Bank of Israel from 2005 through June of 2013.
The nominees drew little individual opposition from members of the Senate on their own merits. Sen. Rand Paul (R., Ky.), a longtime critic of the central bank, said he would continue to oppose all Fed nominees until Senate leaders allow a vote on his bill to open the Fed's monetary-policy decisions to review by the Government Accountability Office and Congress. Currently, an outside firm audits the Fed's financial operations and its findings are published in the central bank's annual report. The GAO also reviews the Fed's financial operations, but doesn't evaluate the policy decisions.
"The American people have a right to know what this institution is doing with the nation's money supply," Mr. Paul said in a statement on Monday.

Mugging our descendants
WASHINGTON — The election eve mood is tinged with sadness stemming from well-founded fear that America's new government is subverting America's old character. President Obama's agenda is a menu of temptations intended to change the nation's social norms by making Americans comfortable with the degradation of democracy. This degradation consists of piling up public debt that binds unconsenting future generations to finance current consumption.

You have to admit, Aspen Skiing Co. is a really good real estate company. We all know about the Base Village bonanza. Skico acquires the land at the bottom of Snowmass ski area for a song, finagles government approval for a colossal development the size of which the valley hasn't seen since the Third Day and then sells it just as the clouds part to reveal the peak of the real estate market that we likely won't see again for decades. I remember when the first map of Base Village came out, and they actually had named one of the proposed new hotels the "Capitol Peak Lodge." Developers have been lining up with their asbestos gloves to play hot potato with the thing ever since, and all we're seeing are a lot of burnt fingers in the emergency room that used to be known as Town Council chambers. Lots of folks have said that they were just lucky on this one, but I don't know.
Skico recently sold the Snowmass Club. I don't know any of the particulars of the deal. They sold it. That's enough. That fact provides all the information you need to know to conclude that they pulled another financial miracle out of the dirt.
I don't get out much, but I know a couple of local duffers who have been trying to sell their golf memberships at the club for years. According to their agreements with the club, that's their privilege - as long as there are other people out there willing to buy one from the club first. That's simple enough. The only snafu occurs when nobody is buying them from anyone, which is what has been the state of affairs for quite some time. The bottom line can't possibly be black when you have a longer line of customers waiting to get out than to get in.
But before you conclude that Skico is a pack of idiots for getting into the golf business to begin with, think about why they did it. They didn't give a twit about running a golf course. They needed to put something next to their timeshares to make them a little more attractive.
No matter how you look at it, it's hard to sell expensive timeshares that are next to a sewer, three miles from the slopes and the post office, surrounded by a dysfunctional golf course from the '70s connected to a health club frequented by local riffraff. That's more the setup for a nice Motel 6.
What's the alternative? You build an incredibly expensive, super-modern, beautiful-looking, designer-label, pseudo-country-club golf course. Sure, it's expensive, but you're going to recoup the cost by selling six weeks a year there for half a million bucks on top of collecting the jacked-up monthly dues forever. Then you make every executive write out a note with the same message on it to post to the bathroom mirror so they have to look at it every day as they achieve the dress code. It said, "The second the last fractional unit at the club is sold, we will unload the money-sucking amenity that we call a golf course." It makes perfect sense. Build the golf course in order to sell timeshares, and then sell it to somebody else to run at a loss and keep the timesharers coming back.
It's going to be about as interesting to watch the new owners of the Snowmass Club turn that thing around as it has been watching Related Cos. pray for the second coming of a big profit out of Base Village. My guess is that both ventures will become profitable at about the same time, but that is further dependent on one huge event happening. I'm telling you, Skico has the inside line on the timing of when Siberia will become a tropical paradise. Trust me, the first sign of that happening will be me shooting par on the club course. For those keeping score at home, first of all, I'm not a member, and secondly, when I played there as a guest last summer, I shot a 112.
As much as I'd like to believe that Skico just got lucky on the timing of the Base Village deal, it's all but impossible to discount the orchestration of the Snowmass Club sale as incompetence that happens to stumble across the end of the rainbow. It was genius, plain and simple. My golf visor is tipped to them. They holed out from the bunker again!
Roger Marolt is waiting for the guided fishing tours on the golf-course ponds as part of the Snowmass Club's revitalization plan. Contact him at firstname.lastname@example.com.

APP WATCH: Minecraft, Virtual Legos In Your Phone
The hit game "Minecraft" is a kind of virtual Lego set in which you break down your surroundings and build pretty much anything. Objects can range from giant replicas of earth to huge cannons powered by dynamite. Here's a look at one of the top apps on the Apple App Store.
How it works: In "Minecraft," you take control of a builder who has the ability to break down various objects like rocks and trees into raw materials.
Players can then use those resources to craft new objects like swords and axes, or place then in whatever fashion they like, like a Lego block. All the while you have to fend off critters and creatures and make sure your structures aren't blown up by hissing green monsters called "Creepers."
Who built it: Indie developer Markus Persson built the game from scratch before spinning it into a whole company called Mojang AB in 2009. He has since hired a small team to continue adding content to the game while he works on his next game.
Why it's popular: It's basically a virtual spin on Legos. The building tools in the app are so sophisticated that you can build the equivalent of a 16-bit computer — but still simple enough for even children to understand.
To date, Mojang AB has sold about 6 million copies of the app for the iPhone and Android. Including its PC sales and sales on Xbox Live, the company brought in about $235 million in revenue last year. Even at a price of $7, it's one of the top-grossing apps on the Apple App Store, and has been for quite some time, according to AppData.
Minecraft also runs on Xbox Live and standard PCs — across all platforms, Mojang has sold more than 20 million copies of Minecraft.
The interest in Minecraft is infectious, especially after expanding to smartphones. There are whole sub-communities on social networking sites like Facebook and Reddit, a prominent news aggregator, dedicated to showing off the most interesting creations. And there are a large number of videos on YouTube that are fan tributes — ranging from showcasing the latest buildings to a parody of "Gangnam Style" in the Minecraft world.
Mojang has fielded multiple acquisition offers from larger videogame businesses, as well as various inquiries for investment from venture-capital firms and others including former Facebook President Sean Parker, but so far hasn't taken any outside money.

A Victory–and a Proposal–for Joey Chestnut at Nathan's Hot-Dog Eating Contest
Joey "Jaws" Chestnut has more reasons than usual to celebrate this Fourth of July.
Not only did the competitive-eating marvel win his eighth straight Nathan's Famous Fourth of July hot dog-eating contest — he also scored himself a fiancee.
Before downing 61 hot dogs in 10 minutes to secure his spot as champion of the annual Coney Island ritual, Mr. Chestnut got down on one knee and proposed to his longtime girlfriend Neslie Ricasa, herself a competitive eater, according to the Associated Press.
Not every returning champion had as glorious a day. Three-time champ Sonya Thomas lost out to Miki Sudo, who ate 34 frankfurters.

SUNNYVALE -- A federal judge's last-minute refusal to put Sunnyvale's new gun-control ordinance on hold means that, as of Thursday, anyone in the city who possesses an ammunition magazine that can hold more than 10 rounds will be a criminal.
The National Rifle Association asked a federal appeals court Wednesday for an emergency stay, hours before the law was to kick in. No such order was issued before this newspaper's deadline.
U.S. District Judge Ronald Whyte of San Jose denied the plaintiffs a preliminary injunction Wednesday, finding their case isn't likely to succeed and the ban won't cause them irreparable harm. The right to possess such magazines "lies on the periphery of the Second Amendment," he wrote, and banning them is "substantially related to an important government interest."
"No court has yet entered a preliminary injunction against a law criminalizing the possession of magazines having a capacity to accept more than 10 rounds, nor has any court yet found that such a law infringes the Second Amendment," Whyte wrote.
Sunnyvale spokeswoman Jennifer Garnett said the ruling "is consistent with what a majority of our citizens clearly said they wanted when they passed the gun safety ordinance."
Chuck Michel, the NRA's West Coast counsel, said he's disappointed but not surprised, and "to protect the Second Amendment rights of Sunnyvale citizens, we will be seeking an emergency stay and expedited appellate review."
State law has banned the purchase of magazines holding more than 10 rounds since 2000; only those who owned them before then were allowed to register and keep them.
The NRA sued Dec. 16 to challenge the part of Measure C that requires owners of such magazines -- no matter when they were bought -- to remove them from the city, sell them outside California or to a licensed gun dealer, or give them up to police for destruction within 90 days. Measure C took effect Dec. 6, giving owners until March 6 to comply or become guilty of a misdemeanor.

Believe it or not, when tossing out those sinfully delicious foods from your diet to meet your healthful goals for 2013, some nutritionists caution against going whole hog.
"The key is to do it slowly," said Nancy Utter, a naturopathic physician with a specialty in food and gastrointestinal health. "You have to be gentle with yourself."
She advises starting with eliminating white sugar from your diet, calling it a poison that harms the brain, joints and G.I. tract. She also counsels her patients to buy organic products when they can because herbicides, pesticides, waxes and preservatives are toxic to the human body.
Her motto? Don't eat anything you can't identify.
"A piece of bread can be made out of sawdust or wheat flour or almond meal, you can't know by looking at it. If you look at an apple or a bell pepper or a chicken, you can say, 'I know what that is.'"
Utter says she views food as the basis of the body. Every cell is made out of what we put into it – if you're eating a fast food hamburger, you're making bad cells, if you're eating organic spinach, you're making good ones. And if you're reading a label, you're eating processed foods, the potential cause of everything from diabetes to heart disease.
"We all have to eat," she said. "Why not eat to foster health?"

UPDATED 9.18.2012 by Julie Montanaro
They say lightning never strikes twice. It did in Tallahassee last night.
Lightning strikes caused two fires that forced two families to run from their homes and into the rain.
"The thunder I've never heard that before in my life, everything just went ... lit up in my house," Carolyn Banks said.
Carolyn Banks and her mother went to see first lady Michelle Obama Monday night. Soon after she got home and went to bed, lightning struck just above the laundry room.
"Because it was in the ceiling, we couldn't see any flames or anything but we could smell the smoke you know, so once I knew it was burning, so then that's when we called the fire department, just got out," Johny Banks said.
"It was pouring down raining and stuff but thank God we all made it out safe," Carolyn Banks said.
The fire did 20-thousand dollars in damage. The Banks family spent the day Tuesday trying to clean up the smoky, soggy mess.
Across town, not 30 minutes later, Phil Young got the jolt of his life.
"It was like an explosion. The only thing I thought was maybe that tree, the big tree was hit," he said.
Young and his wife had to wake their young girls, ages four and seven, and get out as smoke filled their home in minutes.
Firefighters had to cut a vent in the roof and wound up tearing out the ceiling and all the insulation.
"This can all be replaced and fixed but my kids are safe, my wife is safe, so you know it's, were going to be okay," Young said.
Two lightning strikes, two fires, two families, same night.
Firefighters say they are far from alone.
"We responded to 75 structure fires in the last five years, that were a result of lightning," Tallahassee Fire Department Spokesman Mike Bellamy said.
The Youngs are planning to rent a home nearby until their house can be repaired.
The Banks had no insurance and will have to rely on family right now. The Red Cross is helping too.
UPDATED 9.18.2012 by Julie Montanaro
Lightning strikes caused fires at two Tallahassee homes Monday night.
Carolyn and Johnny Banks' are trying to salvage furniture, clothes and keepsakes from their home on Balkin Road.
Carolyn Banks said she and her mother attended the first lady's speech Monday night.
Soon after she got home, Carolyn Banks said, a bolt of lightning shook the entire house and there was a flash of red and blue light. She says her son smelled smoke and all three rushed to get outside.
The fire started in the laundry room. There is a hole in the roof right above it.
Damages are estimated at $20,000. Carolyn said the house was not insured and they will have to live with family until they can repair it.
Across town about 30 minutes later, the Young family had to flee its home on Celtic Road too.
Phil Young says he had just gone to bed and was watching a little Monday Night Football when the lightning bolt struck right above the master bedroom.
"It was like an explosion," he said.
Young and his wife had to wake their two young daughters, ages four and seven, and get out of the house.
The fire spread through the attic and filled the home with smoke within minutes, he said.
The family is trying to salvage some of its belongings from the soggy, smoky house and plans to rent a home while it is being repaired. Damages are estimated at $55,000.
LT Mike Bellamy says the Tallahassee Fire Department has responded to 75 fires started by lightning in the last five years. He says those lightning strike fires have done $1.5 million dollars in damage.
Tallahassee, FL - September 18, 2012
The American Red Cross Capital Area Chapter responded to a lightning strike last night that displaced a family on Balkin Road in Leon County.
The Fire Department called the chapter to assist the family. Red Cross provided hotel nights, food and clothing totaling $650.00. Red Cross caseworkers will follow up with the family to ensure that all their immediate needs are met.
"Without prompt Red Cross assistance, this family would be homeless and be another statistic" said Dan Samborn, CEO of the American Red Cross Capital Area Chapter.
"Our volunteers are on-call 24 hours a day to render life changing Red Cross assistance."
People can send donations to support American Red Cross Disaster Relief. Consider making a donation today by visiting www.tallyredcross.org , calling 850-878-6080. Contributions may also be sent to your local Red Cross chapter, 1115 Easterwood Drive, Tallahassee, FL 32311. Contributions enable the Red Cross to prepare for and provide shelter, food, emotional support and other assistance in response to disasters.
The American Red Cross shelters, feeds and provides emotional support to victims of disasters; supplies nearly half of the nation's blood; teaches lifesaving skills; provides international humanitarian aid; and supports military members and their families. The Red Cross is a charitable organization — not a government agency — and depends on volunteers and the generosity of the American public to perform its mission.

Tallahassee, FL - September 18, 2012
Last night, at 10:05 p.m., firefighters from the Tallahassee Fire Department Stations 3, 1 and 4 responded to the report of a mobile home fire in the 1600 Block of Balkin Road. The fire was reported when the occupants smelled smoke and evacuated the home. Fire crews were met with fire in the attic and through the roof upon arrival. Firefighters extinguished the blaze and began a lengthy overhaul of hidden fires in the attic. The Red Cross was called to assist the three adults who were displaced as a result of the fire. Damages were estimated at $20,000 and no injuries were reported at the scene. The fire was caused by a lightning strike.
At 10:32 p.m., units from the Tallahassee Fire Department Stations 12 and 6 responded to the report of smoke inside a single-story wood frame home in the 1900 Block of Celtic Road. Deputy Fire Chief Roberts was in the area at the time of the fire and first on scene reporting smoke showing. Firefighters quickly gained access to the attic and extinguished a small fire and began the lengthy task of removing charred insulation and salvaging property. The residents were displaced from the home and damages were estimated at $55,000. No injuries were reported at the scene and lightning was determined as the cause of the fire.

And should the Tribes withdraw from a concurrent jurisdiction agreement they've had with the State of Montana for the past seventeen years? The Flathead BIA Agency reports that of 2221 registration forms sent to adult tribal member Reservation residents last month, 849 were mailed back to the agency for certification. After testing each form for truthfulness and accuracy (and minus the 57 returned by the post office due to lack of a forwarding address), 627 people were deemed legally entitled to vote in next month's secretarial election. According to secretarial election rules published in the CFR - the Code of Federal Regulations - 30 percent of the 627 registered voters need to show up and vote to make the balloting valid. District meetings to explain secretarial election issues A series of six district meetings has been scheduled to explain the October 3rd secretarial référendums: Hot Springs (bowling alley)~Saturday, September 26 Arlee (Salish Indian Seniors Center)~Monday, September 28 St. Ignatius/Dixon (St. Ignatius Com. Ctr.)-Tuesday, September 29 Ronan/Pablo (KHJCC Ree. Ctr.)-Wednesday, Sept. 30 Poison (tentatively scheduled for the old Catholic Church) -Thursday, Oct. 1 Elmo (Koostatah Hall)~Friday, Oct. 2 The meetings are being held to explain to the registered Indian voters a proposed amendment to the Tribal Constitution regarding primary elections. The 'pros and cons' of withdrawing from the 1964 concurrent jurisdiction agreement with the State of Montana will also be discussed. All meetings will begin at 7 p.m. September 26 is Native American Day... .. .see page 3 Of these, 30 percent, which figures out to be 188 people in this case, a clear majority - 95 votes - will decide 'aye' or 'nay' on the two issues. A list of the several hundred registered people has been posted at the BIA Headquarters in Rohan, and at the Tribal Complex in Pablo. Only those people whose names are on the list will be allowed to vote this particular time. Polls will open at 10 a.m. and close at 8 p.m. on Saturday, October 3.

AUSTIN (January 12, 2013)--George Prescott Bush is gearing up to run for a little-known but powerful office in Texas, where his family already is a political dynasty.
He hopes a run for Texas land commissioner next year and his Hispanic roots can help the state's Republican Party maintain its stranglehold on power.
Bush spoke Friday to The Associated Press in his first interview since filing paperwork to seek elected statewide office in November.
He said he wouldn't make a final decision until this summer, when it's clear whether Gov. Rick Perry will seek another term.
Bush is the grandson of one former president and the nephew of another.
There's speculation he'll seek the offices of Texas land commissioner, attorney general or even run as a gubernatorial challenger to Perry.

I need flogged. Tickled to within an inch of peeing myself. Fifty lashes with a wet noodle. SOMETHING to punish me for this most grievous offense. I apologize dear co-irkers, and promise to have something special for you next Friday.
I'm now going to go say three Our Father's and six Hail Mary's and run twenty miles as my penance.
4.5 ounces spelt flour (about one cup)
1 cup quick cooking oats
1/2 cup packed brown sugar
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp cinnamon
6 TBSP unsalted butter, melted
3 TBSP orange juice
1 1/3 cups dried cranberries (about 6 ounces)
3/4 cup sour cream (I used reduced-fat)
1/2 cup sugar (I used Splenda)
2 TBSP spelt flour
1 tsp vanilla
1/2 tsp grated orange zest
1 large egg, lightly beaten
Preheat oven to 325 degrees.
To prepare crust:
In medium bowl, whisk together the spelt flour, oats, brown sugar, salt, baking soda and cinnamon. Pour melted butter and orange juice over mixture and stir to combine. Reserve 1/2 cup of mixture (for topping) and press the remaining mixture into the bottom of an 11X7 baking dish that has been coated with cooking spray.
To prepare filling:
Combine cranberries, sour cream, sugar and remaining ingredients in a medium bowl, stirring well. Spread cranberry mixture over prepared crust. Evenly crumble reserved topping over filling.
Bake for 40 minutes or until edges are golden. Cool completely in pan on a cooling rack before serving.

About the Book
For readers who like thrills with their laughs, Case File 13 is a satisfying new series that blends irreverent humor, page-turning adventure, a mysterious narrator, and the kind of authentic characters that will leave young readers convinced this story is about their own best friends.
Case File 13: Zombie Kid follows three monster-obsessed friends who must solve fiendishly funny mysteries in their creepy hometown. Nick, Carter, and Angelo are obsessed with all things monster. And every Halloween they get to show off their monster-knowledge with elaborate homemade costumes. But this year, a surprise trip to the house of an aunt who may have been a voodoo queen throws a major wrench into the boys' Halloween plans and lands Nick with a cursed amulet that turns him into a real, live (well, undead) zombie.
To Nick and his friends, this is . . . awesome! At first. Then the whole zombie thing starts to get a little out of hand (literally), and the boys have to go on a chilling adventure to reverse the curse. One that involves a talking cat, a skeleton who likes candy corn, and even the dreaded Zombie King himself.
You hold in your hands a very dangerous record.
I have collected every side of the story and every piece of evidence on case number 13. Now, in this file, you will find all you need to follow the dark adventures of Nick, Carter, and Angelo, three boys who possess an unhealthy obsession with monsters, in a town so grisly, so horrific—
Whoa, whoa, whoa. You're telling it all wrong, dude. You make it sound like it's a scary story.
Ahem. Well, Nick, it is a scary story. In this volume alone, there are voodoo queens, graveyards—even the dreaded Zombie King himself.
Yeah, but there's also the part where Angie gets mashed potatoes all in her face, and the part where I use my cool zombie powers to—
All right, point taken. Now, if you don't mind . . .
You hold in your hands a very dangerous, very funny record, detailing the hilarious adventures of three boys who have an awesome obsession with monsters. This is the first volume. Read on if you dare. . . .

Big Ten makes newcomers' debut tough
May 18, 2013
OK, I know it's over a year away yet, but the Big Ten 2014 football schedule was released Thursday....
It's all about the $. These teams, like WVU going to the big XII, will make more $, regardless of the W/L record...Maryland is a huge lacrosse school, I am sure the LAX coaches and players are not fans of going to the big 10 (who doesnt have lax), but again, it is all about the benjamins.

DES MOINES, Iowa (November 5, 2012)--President Barack Obama and Republican challenger Mitt Romney were racing across competitive battleground states Monday, stressing differences on the economy, health care and other issues while professing a willingness to work across party lines to end gridlock in Washington.
Mr. Obama told thousands of cheering supporters in New Hampshire Monday they "have the power."
The president said he wants to work across party lines, but said he won't give up priorities such as college financial aid or the health care law he pushed through Congress.
Boos from Romney's partisans in Cleveland turned to appreciative laughter when the Republican nominee began a sentence by saying, "If the president were to be elected," and ended it with, "It's possible but not likely."
After a campaign that began more than a year ago, late public opinion polls were unpredictably tight for the nationwide popular vote, but they suggested an advantage for the president in the state-by-state competition for electoral votes.
Romney was stumping Monday in Iowa, Ohio, and Virginia and Pennsylvania while Mr. Obama was campaigning in New Hampshire, Florida, Ohio and Colorado.

Demi Lovato grew up on TV.
She was a cast member in the children's TV program "Barney and Friends" from 2002 to 2004, then went on to far greater fame on the Disney Channel's "Camp Rock" and "Sonny with a Chance."
Along the way, she also established herself as a pop singer, having released her gold-certified debut, "Don't Forget," in 2008.
The 21-year-old Texan's latest album is last year's "Demi," which she'll support in concert Feb. 11 at the SAP Center in San Jose.
Show time is 7 p.m. and tickets are $29.50 to $69.50, www.ticketmaster.com.
I love the English Beat. And, really, what's not to love? The British 2 Tone ska revival band, which got its start in 1978, has so many great songs. Topping the list would be such immortal cuts as "Twist and Crawl," "I Confess," "Stand Down Margaret" and -- oh, yes -- "Mirror in the Bathroom." Plus, Dave Wakeling and crew also deliver a fun, energetic show.
The English Beat perform Feb. 16 at Don Quixote's international Music Hall in lovely downtown Felton. Show time is 7 p.m. and tickets are $20 to $25, www.donquixotesmusic.info.
Early alert: Mastodon, one of the heaviest metal bands on the planet, is coming to the Fox Theater in Oakland. The Atlanta group performs May 1. Tickets are $27.50, www.ticketmaster.com.

CORPUS CHRISTI – Throughout the summer of 2013, GoIslanders.com will look back at the best moments and athletic performances from the 2012-13 school year.
Every Thursday, we will bring you one of the top 10 individual performances, with Tuesdays bringing the year's top 10 moments. Be sure to keep tabs on GoIslanders.com throughout the summer to celebrate all the great moments.
Sophomore Vanessa Johnson has had a strong career in her two short years at Texas A&M-Corpus Christi. Three top 20 finishes as a freshman. A title at the Harold Funston Invitational as a sophomore. But no accomplishment to this point in her time at the Island University tops what she did at the Southland Championship in 2013.
The Corpus Christi native came into the final event of the season scuffling a little bit, her best finish of the spring an 18th-place performance at the Islander Classic back in February. But with the biggest tournament of the season looming, she burst onto the course.
Johnson matched the school record with a 69 in the opening round to sit one shot off the lead through the opening 18 holes. Using her momentum, the Islanders set a team school record of their own in the round, carding a 292 to sit in first place through the opening day of the tournament.
Both Johnson and her teammates fell off a bit in round two, but she still posted an even-par 72 for the second round, remaining in second through 36 holes. In the round, she posted a quartet of birdies to sit two strokes back of leader Shelby Hardy of Sam Houston State. Her final 18 saw her card a 77, but that was enough for her to garner runner-up honors, the best Islanders finish at the event in school history.
Johnson was rewarded for her performance with Second Team All-Southland Conference honors following the season, narrowly missing the cut for First Team laurels. Her 76.64 stroke average was best on the team and fifth in the conference.
For all the latest on Islanders Athletics during the summer, be sure to follow us on Twitter (@Go_Islanders), Facebook (Islanders Athletics) and Instagram (go_islanders).
Top Performances:
June 6 - #10: Jasmine Boutte Shines at SLC Indoor and Outdoor Championships

Bernard G. Johnson Coliseum (6,100) • Huntsville, Texas
The Texas A&M - Corpus Christi women's basketball team will open Southland Conference play when they travel to Huntsville, Texas to take on Sam Houston State on Friday, Jan. 4. The Islanders are coming off a tough non-conference schedule and will ring in the New Year with conference play. Texas A&M - Corpus Christi is coming off a 69-38 road loss to Big 12 opponent TCU on Dec. 29.
Friday's game will mark the 17th meeting between the two teams. The Bearkats hold the all-time 11-5 series advantage. Last season, Sam Houston State swept the series, 75-54 in Huntsville and 65-56 in Corpus Christi.
Head Coach Royce Chadwick is in his first year as the Islanders' Head Coach. Chadwick, who spent the previous 11 years at the helm of the Marshall University program, has 562 wins on his collegiate coaching resume.
Sam Houston State enters Friday's game with a 4-8 record, including a 1-1 record at home. The Bearkats are coming off a 75-58 road victory over Houston Baptist on Jan. 2 and will return home after a string of six road games. Friday's game will also mark the Bearkats conference opener.
•Jessica Jammer led the team for the second straight game with 14 points and seven rebounds at TCU on Dec. 29. Prior to that, she tallied a season-high 16 points in the Islanders' first victory of the season vs. Cornell to earn Southland Conference play of the Week honors.
•The Islanders tallied 15 steals at TCU three shy of tying their season-high of 18.
• Texas A&M - Corpus Christi also led the paint, tallying 24 of its 38 points in the paint. The Islanders also committed fewer turnovers than the Horned Frogs.
•The Islanders' first victory of the season came before the holiday break on Dec. 18 vs. Cornell, 52-49. The team snapped a 10-game losing streak dating back to the last season and marked Coach Chadwick's first victory at the helm.
•Freshman Janae Blount has scored in double figures in seven of the Islanders' 11 games this season.
•Blount leads the team with 10.6 points per game, which ranks 14th in the Southland Conference.
•The Islanders are 4-2 in Southland Conference openers, including a 2-1 record when they open conference play on the road.
•Coach Chadwick has used four different starting lineups this season. At TCU, he used the starting lineup of Morgan Schwartz, Alisa Roberts, Jessica Jammer, Verne'qua Taylor and Taryn Gregory for the second time this season.
The Bearkats and Islanders will meet for the 17th time in program history. Sam Houston State has the 11-5 advantage in series history.
Last season, the Bearkats topped the Islanders 65-56 in Corpus Christi at the Dugan Wellness Center. The Islanders cut the lead to five with 36.8 seconds left, but fell to the Bearkats in the first meeting. Alisa Roberts tallied a career-high 18 points and Verne'qua Taylor added 11 points. Sam Houston State had three players in double-figure scoring, led by Britni Martin's 22 points. In Huntsville, the Islanders led by as many as 14 points in the first half, but the Bearkats came clawing back to shoot 62 percent in the second half including 85.7 percent from behind the arc to win 75-54. Taylor tallied nine points and four assists while Brandi Huff chipped in eight points and Roberts added seven points, two assists, three steals and led the team on the glass with eight rebounds.
Sam Houston State has dropped five of its last seven games, including four on the road. The Bearkats are returning home after a six-game road swing and are coming off a 75-58 victory over Houston Baptist on Wednesday night. The Bearkats have victories against Grambling State, A&M-Commerce, Houston Baptist and an overtime victory over Albany.

7.7-2 Promoting a Minor in an Obscene Performance -- § 53a-196b
Revised to December 1, 2007
The defendant is charged [in count __] with promoting a minor in an obscene performance. The statute defining this offense reads in pertinent part as follows:
a person is guilty of promoting a minor in an obscene performance when (he/she) knowingly promotes any material or performance in which a minor is employed, whether or not such minor receives any consideration, and such material or performance is obscene as to minors notwithstanding that such material or performance is intended for an adult audience.
For you to find the defendant guilty of this charge, the state must prove the following elements beyond a reasonable doubt:
Element 1 -
Minor under 16 years of age
The first element is that at the time of the defendant's conduct the minor was under 16 years of age. This means that the child had not yet had his/her sixteenth birthday when the alleged conduct took place.1
Element 2 -
Promoted obscene performance
The second element is that the defendant promoted any material or performance in which a minor is employed and such material or performance is obscene as to minors.
To "promote" material or a performance means to (manufacture / issue / sell / give / provide / lend / mail / deliver / transfer / transmit / publish / distribute / circulate / disseminate / present / exhibit / advertise / produce / direct / participate in) the material or performance.
A minor is "employed" in material or a performance when the minor is used or made use of in that material or performance. The minor does not have to have been hired for wages or a salary. In fact, the statute specifically provides that using a minor to promote material or a performance that is obscene as to minors is a crime whether or not the minor receives any consideration, that is, whether or not the minor receives anything of value in return for (his/her) services. So, in order for the defendant to be convicted of this charge, it is not necessary for the state to prove that the minor received anything of value in return for (his/her) services.
A "performance" is any play, motion picture, dance or other exhibition performed before an audience. "Material" means anything tangible which is capable of being used or adapted to arouse prurient, shameful or morbid interest, whether through the medium of reading, observation, sound or in any other manner. Undeveloped photographs, molds, printing plates, and the like, may be deemed obscene notwithstanding that processing or other acts may be required to make the obscenity patent or to disseminate it.
A performance or material is "obscene as to minors" if it depicts a prohibited sexual act and, taken as a whole, it is harmful to minors. "Harmful to minors" means that quality of any description or representation, in whatever form, of a prohibited sexual act, when (i) it predominantly appeals to the prurient, shameful or morbid interest of minors, (ii) it is patently offensive to prevailing standards in the adult community as a whole with respect to what is suitable material for minors, and (iii) taken as a whole, it lacks serious literary, artistic, educational, political or scientific value for minors.
A "prohibited sexual act" means erotic fondling, nude performance, sexual excitement, sado-masochistic abuse, masturbation or sexual intercourse. "Erotic fondling" means touching a person's clothed or unclothed genitals, pubic area, buttocks, or, if such person is a female, breast. "Nude performance" means the showing of the human male or female genitals, pubic area or buttocks with less than a fully opaque covering, or the showing of the female breast with less than a fully opaque covering of any portion thereof below the top of the nipple, or the depiction of covered male genitals in a discernibly turgid state in any play, motion picture, dance or other exhibition performed before an audience. "Sexual excitement" means the condition of human male or female genitals when in a state of sexual stimulation or arousal. "Sado-masochistic abuse" means flagellation or torture by or upon a person clad in undergarments, a mask or bizarre costume, or the condition of being fettered, bound or otherwise physically restrained on the part of one so clothed. "Masturbation" means the real or simulated touching, rubbing or otherwise stimulating a person's own clothed or unclothed genitals, pubic area, buttocks, or, if the person is female, breast, either by manual manipulation or with an artificial instrument. "Sexual intercourse" means intercourse, real or simulated, whether genital-genital, oral-genital, anal-genital or oral-anal, whether between persons of the same or opposite sex or between a human and an animal, or with an artificial genital.
Under this charge, as long as the performance or material meets the definition of being "obscene as to minors," as I have given that to you, it does not matter that the material or performance was intended for an adult audience.
Element 3 -
The third element is that the defendant acted knowingly. "Knowingly" in this context2 means that the defendant had general knowledge of or reason to know or a belief or ground for belief which warrants further inspection or inquiry as to the character and content of any material or performance which is reasonably susceptible of examination by the defendant and the age of the minor employed.
In summary, the state must prove beyond a reasonable doubt that 1) the minor was under 16 years of age, 2) the defendant promoted the minor in an obscene performance, and 3) the defendant did so knowingly.
If you
unanimously find that the state has
proved beyond a reasonable doubt each
of the elements of the crime of
promoting a minor in an obscene
performance, then you shall find the
defendant guilty. On the other hand,
if you unanimously find that the state
has failed to prove beyond a
reasonable doubt any of the elements,
you shall then find the defendant not
1 When an attempt is alleged, the trial court must instruct the jury that it must find that the defendant believed that the other person is under 16 years of age. See State v. Sorabella, 277 Conn. 155, 191, cert. denied, 549 U.S. 821, 127 S.Ct. 131, 166 L.Ed.2d 36 (2006) (defendant convicted of attempt to entice a minor when the other person was an undercover police officer, but the defendant believed he was communicating with a 13-year old).
2 General
Statutes § 53a-196b provides this
definition of "knowingly" for the
purposes of this offense.

A Cardiac Stress Test is a test to show how your heart functions when your heart rate is increased. You will exercise or be given a certain medicine to increase your heart rate.
A Nuclear Cardiac Stress test is a specialized test. A very small amount of a radioactive tracer is given in an IV. A radioactive tracer is given to see the flow of blood through the chambers of the heart and heart muscle. Images are taken when the radioactive tracer is carried within the blood through the heart and heart muscle. Sometimes these images are taken when you are resting and after you have exercised. Your doctor will use this information to determine the best treatment for you.
You will be able to return to normal activities after the test is approved by your doctor.
You may take any medicine that has been held during the test. You may eat and drink.
A one-day Nuclear Cardiac Stress Imaging Test takes about 2 & 1/2 hours. This includes
several periods of waiting before imaging.
A two-day Nuclear Cardiac Stress Imaging Test will take about 1 & 1/2 hours each day.
Your appointment will start in the Cardiology Department. You will be directed where to go when you check in. If you have any questions you can contact Cardiology at 303.270.2670.
Please contract Cardiology at 303.270.2670 at least 12 hours prior to the scheduled testing time if you can not make it to your scheduled test.

The Mid-Atlantic Coast contains several very significant areas for waterfowl, hence DU's involvement: the Chesapeake Bay, Delaware Bay, New Jersey coast and Long Island. Barrier beaches and dunes, submerged aquatic vegetation, intertidal sand and mudflats, salt marsh islands, fringing tidal marshes and maritime forest characterize these highly productive shallow water and adjacent upland habitats. Maintaining or improving water quality and waterfowl habitat in the Chesapeake Bay and other Mid-Atlantic estuaries will be challenging given the projected regional growth in human populations and climate change impacts.

Did you guys do the foundation work first or are you just going to the fingerstones? If you did the flattening and all that good stuff first and you see unevenness from the fingerstones they're pointing out unevenness in the bevel...OR....you just need more practice with them.
More practice needed here...and I need to do the foundation work, too. But I did notice a difference. Nice contrast.
Received my set today. I only had twenty minutes to play with 'em today but so far so good.
I muddied up my king 800 then did my best to polish only the hagane on a gesshin 5K and followed that with my new finger stones. I think will a little more time and some more practice I'll get some cool results. Thanks again for offering these Dave.
That's pretty good, thanks for sharing your results.
I spent more time at 1k and it's coming out better.
I think I know exactly what you are talking about and you may have answered a question thy I haven't yet figured out how to ask and I thank you. I do have odd lines on that one gyuto that I think are what you are talking about. These are not what I would call "hair like" they are thicker and seem to be in the actual steel of the knife not just the finish. Also where the finish runs perfectly straight these lines seem to follow the shape of the spine. Are these what you are talking about? The lines I was talking about in the above post were scratches Which I am convinced were left as Dave pointed out by me not rounding off the edges. It is odd though the lines that I think you are talking about are only on one of my three shigefusa's at first I thought they had something to do with the forced patina but the more I look at then the more natural to the knife they seem.

Moon of the Wandering: Solitude and Medicine For the Salish, Kootenai and Pend'd Orielle Indians, the Moon of the Wandering (January) was a time of iso lated religious intensity. Traditionally, the large bands splintered into family groups for the cold moons of Continuous Snow, The Wandering and the Band Spread all Over (December, January, and February) to winter on stored camas, Bitterroot, ber ries and dried buffalo meat. There was no buffalo hunting east of the mountains during th the cold moons and the only supplements to the larder were deer and elk for the Salish and mountain game and fish for the Pend'd Orielle and Kootenai. Personal and family religious ceremonies were practiced by members of all three tribes during the Moon of the Wandering. Medicine and healing ceremonies took place through out the cold moons and many of the medicine orders held their sacred rites during this moon. Today, the Bluejay ceremony and the jump dances are still practiced throughout the reservation. A century ago this month, the Bitterroot Salish were restive and trying to decide what to do about the Presidential Order of June 5,1872 removing them to the Flathead Reservation. Chief Victor had felt the Bitterroot was secured for his people by the Hellgate Treaty of 1855 and Charlo, his son, considered the valley Salish Land. Later that spring, Arlee and a small band of ^con^onjjagej 0) (Charlo) Salish, Kootenai, Pend 'd Orielles Tribes (Koostahtah) Volume 2 Number 18 FULL MOON OF THE ^^^^^^^^ WANDERING Price 15 cents 81.3 Million Board Feet To Be Sold Friday Valley Unit On Auction Block Pixon (Char-Koosta): For the second time in half a century the saws will be singing in the huge valley logging unit south of Dixon. Eighty one million, three hundred thousand board feet of timber in the 36,326 acre unit were to be sold Friday (as Char Koosta was going to press) at an oral auction in Ronan. The Flathead Agency auction was to be attended by five local and out of state logging firms who had submitted floor bids ($60 per thousand on Ponderosa pine and $50 per thousand on other species) to qualify for the voice bid auction. According to the ground rules of oral auction, floor bids of the firms are posted and the voice auction starts at the high floor bid. Observers of. past oral auctions say that bids on blocks of tree species may edge up a nickle at a time, or sky-rocket $10 at a time. The process might take as little as one hour, or may drag on well into the evening. Biggest and Longest The unit on the auction block is the largest and the long est cut in the history of the reservation. The timber, it is believed, will start falling early this spring and continue for seven years with one year set aside for cleanup. The largest previous sale was the Granjo Unit of 1972, which will yield 75.12 million board feet over 5 years. Flathead Agency BIA Forestry intends to sell 87 million board feet of timber around St. Mary's Lake sometime with in the decade. Of the 36,326 acres of the unit which straddles the saddle between Revais and Valley Creek drainages, only about 19,380 acres will be logged. The remaining 17,000 acres are either immature trees growing out of the clearcuts of the 20s or fires of the 1930s or are being left for game habitat, watershed management or recreational use according to * biA horestry. Acting Reservation Forestry Manager Fred Malroy says the cutting program will entail the construction of some 230 miles of access roads will probably include "some six to ten small (15 Acre) clear cuts". Malroy said the clearcuts are slated only for areas which are either "stunted and overgrown or diseased". He said watershed management will include careful selection in higher (cont. on page 3) BIA Budget Unvailed At Quarterly Meet Dixon (Char-Koosta): The Tribal Tribal forum at the first quarterly iribal Council meeting of 1973 ranged in subject from Bureau of Indian Affairs Reservation Programs budget to finding a new Public Health Service Dantist. Flathead Agency Superintendent Harold Roberson told the Council and th j nearly 50 tribal members present that the operations budget for fiscal year 1974 is $1,273,200.... about $37,000 more than the current budget. It was pointed out to Roberson that the $37, tnousana increase in considerably below the five percent rate of inflation and therefore constitutes an actual loss in program funding. Some areas in the new budget took hard cuts...especially educational programs. Among these education program slices were: $1,200 from BIA School Operation and $10,000 from Public School Assistance (John-son-O'Malley funds)....Higher Education Scholarships were increased by $5,000.

After the first screening, The New York Times, Los Angeles Times, Indiewire, Hitfix and other media wrote about its guerilla style of filmmaking. The reason for all the attention is a question that will certainly occur to viewers: What will Disney executives think about "Escape from Tomorrow"?
Answer: They won't like it. The film is a dark, funny tale of a bizarre trip framed by the underlying weirdness of the Happiest Place on Earth. And corporate Disney is probably going to take a look at the movie's swipes against Disney icons and try to ban it from public view.
"Right now we're just waiting to see what comes next," director Randy Moore said Sunday after a screening in Salt Lake City.
The film revolves around Jim (Roy Abramsohn), who learns he has been laid off but hides that fact from his wife and two kids during their last day at Disney World. By way of distraction, Jim becomes obsessed with two French teenagers and begins stalking them from ride to ride. He also descends into brief moments of madness on various rides (fans of "It's a Small World" who see this film may never view that ride the same way again.
Moore said it took him three years to make "Escape from Tomorrow," which involved intense planning with actors and crew in their hotel rooms in order to shoot at Disneyland in Anaheim and Disney World in Florida without getting thrown out of the parks. They never were, but that isn't the real challenge: Fireworks may ignite if Moore ever gets distribution for his movie. As film critic Drew McWeeny wrote in his review for Hitfix.com, "All I know is Walt Disney's lawyers are probably climbing onto helicopters and planning a raid on Park City right now."
The movie is filled with Disney iconography and logos that are surely trademarked, from Mickey's ears to shots of the EPCOT dome and Disney park characters. Even the opening credits are partially written in Disneyesque fonts. Moore did not get one lick of permission from Disney to put them in his movie, and may very well not need them. But that's all up in the air until a Disney executive sees the movie.
"I'll just say that it didn't start out that way," Moore said about making such a risky movie. "I didn't envision it the way it is now. I thought of it more as a small project, something I was just going to do with my friends, and it grew and grew from there.
"I'm not a lawyer, and I said to myself that if I start to go into the legality of what's going on here - if I think about it - then it's going to affect my creative decisions," he added. "I made it a point not to let that enter my head until now."
Moore said he still doesn't want to worry about it.
"I don't want a helicopter of lawyers coming down on me," he said. "But right now there isn't much I can do but just try to meet people at the festival and enjoy [it]."
