LOL i just read that review and his only "pro" comments are, more than 18 holes, two sets of pads, and some of them are long. And his only cons are about other park users. Cmon Man. Seriously? You have no other criteria? That review is really lame.
Not surprised to see he has 0.7 years of experience. Probably throws only RHFH meathooks, lost all his speed 14 drivers off the short tee on hole 19, and quit his round to go rate it 1.5 on DGCR.

The public is invited to attend a free Camp Release Dakota War Dialogue and Memorial Walk to be held from 1 to 5 p.m. starting at Historic Chippewa City which is located at the intersection of Hwy 7 & 59 in Montevideo. Pre-registration is required by calling 1-877-269-2873. The purpose of the event is to observe the 150th Anniversary of the final act of the U.S. Dakota War: the release of 269 captives to Colonel Henry Sibley starting on September 26, 1862.
Although much has been written about the U.S. Dakota War of 1862, the debate, oftentimes hotly contested, continues on both sides. "There have been dozens of observances and commemorations throughout Minnesota this year, as we examine how and when this conflict actually began, and most importantly, how we can begin to heal the wrongs committed by those on both sides of the Conflict", stated Chippewa County Historical Director, June Lynne. "The Dakota War Dialogue and Memorial Walk event is designed to encourage participants to reflect and converse with one another other about our past, and how we move forward, together, as a united Minnesota," Lynne added.
There will be no speeches, tour guides or pronouncements made during the event. Emphasis will be placed on quiet reflection and walking, to observe the fact that everyone, captives, Dakota, and soldiers, walked everywhere back in 1862, including the forced marches of the Dakota to Mankato and Fort Snelling.
A bus will also be provided to transport event participants to the Camp Release Monument site, to ensure that all can participate. Since there is limited parking at the Camp Release site, it is recommended that everyone park at Historic Chippewa City.
The walk to the monument will begin at 1:30 p.m. on Sunday afternoon. Participants are asked to arrive by 1:00 p.m. for orientation and introductions, and to view the exhibit on the U.S. Dakota War at the Chippewa County Historical Society. After an hour or so of visiting the monument grounds, participants will walk or take a bus back to Historic Chippewa City to take part in a free lunch and dialogue beginning at 3:00 p.m. Everyone is asked to bring a dessert to share with the group.
The dialogue will take the form of a "world café" where tables of participants will be asked to focus on listening to each other and seeking common themes around questions about what the Dakota War and Camp Release mean to us now and going forward as a society. The dialogue is being sponsored by InCommons -- a community-based initiative that connects Minnesotans to share tools, knowledge and resources to address complicated problems.
The entire event is being organized by the Chippewa County Historical Society, the Lac qui Parle County Historical Society and Clean Up the River Environment (CURE). For more information call Patrick Moore at 320-269-2984 or June Lynne 320-269-7636.

With a new year come many resolutions to form good habits and achieve personal goals. The American Red Cross encourages those who are eligible to resolve to help patients in need through regular blood donations.
Donated blood can give patients in need more time with loved ones. Blood can be used to treat cancer patients, trauma victims, organ transplant recipients, premature babies, sickle cell disease patients and more. In fact, about every two seconds a patient in the U.S. needs a blood transfusion.
As winter continues, donations are especially needed, with many donors unable to give due to inclement weather and seasonal illnesses. Make an appointment to donate blood and partake in a lifesaving resolution by visiting redcrossblood.org or calling (800) RED CROSS.

Four additional U.S. Ski and Snowboard Association freestyle mogul athletes earned World Cup start spots following the four-day U.S. Ski Team selections at Copper Mountain last week.
Nicholas Keating (Telluride Ski and Snowboard Club), Troy Murphy (Park City Freestyle), Keaton McCargo (Telluride Ski and Snowboard Club) and Kelsey Albert (Telluride Ski and Snowboard Club) all walked away with new U.S. Freestyle Ski Team jackets after standout performances.
Bryan Zemba (Killington, Vt.) and Shane Cordeau (Sun Valley, Idaho), currently on the U.S. Freestyle C Ski Team were awarded discretionary World Cup spots by the coaches.
The athletes will be competing in this season's three domestic events - moguls and duals at Deer Valley and moguls in Lake Placid. The event was hosted on Rosi's Pitch at Copper Mountain, home to the U.S. Ski Team Speed Center at Copper.
"Copper did a great job with the event as well as putting together a great venue," said Scott Rawles, head moguls coach for the U.S. Ski Team. "They had all hands on deck to make sure the event was a success and it definitely was. Copper hasn't hosted an event like this in a long time and everyone was really psyched to see a moguls course on the speed venue."
Young Gun program athlete and former Dillon local Bruce Perry, Jr., put on a strong performance at just 17 years of age. In the first day of competition, Perry, Jr. earned a bronze medal in what his father called a homecoming of sorts.
Perry, who was No. 1 ranked in the nation in his age group heading into the competition, was behind Keating (gold) and Thomas Rowley (silver) after Day 1. On that day, those competing from the U.S. Ski Team were beat by three NorAm skiers, including Perry.
"The NorAm skiers are chomping at the bit to get in there to get a World Cup start," Bruce Perry, Sr., said Wednesday.
"It was a big day for Bruce. He was born here. We lived in the same house in Dillon for about 16 years," Perry, Sr., added. "He started competing in moguls at about 5 years old under (Team Summit's) Chris Carson. ... It's pretty exciting. He works really hard."

Photographic Prints
Bill Pielsticker is an award-winning photographer from rural Lodi, Wisconsin.
"Being a self-taught photographer, I tend to take a different tack than others. Nature photography is the love of my life. Using a Sinar monorail for a 'field' camera, my large format landscape work focuses on the intimate rather than the grand. Often I use a combination of light and perspective to achieve depth in an otherwise 2-dimensional medium." Shooting in 35 mm using Nikon F3 & F4 cameras and various lenses, Pielsticker travels around the region to capture wildlife in their natural habitat, including bald eagles along the Wisconsin River.
When not making new photographs, Pielsticker serves as President of Wisconsin Trout Unlimited and as policy co-chair for the Wisconsin Buffer Initiative. He has served on several state advisory committees and was the founding President of the Wisconsin League of Conservation Voters.

In 2002 Pep was selected to the World Press Photo Master Class with his work titled "Faith in Chaos" from Sierra Leone. That same year he was nominated one of the top 30 to watch by Photo District News Journal. Pep won the Kodak Young Photographer of the Year in Visa pour l'Image in Perpiñan in 2003. In 2004 the Luchetta Foundation in Trieste nominated Bonet the best press photographer of the year and he was also a finalist for the W.Eugene Smith Award for Humanitarian Photography, an award he won in 2005. In 2007 Bonet won the second prize in the World Press Photo in Sports for his work on the amputees' football league in Sierra Leone. In 2009 Pep won again a second World Press Photo award for his work Forced Identity, where Pep portrayed the life's of transsexuals in Honduras.
Many of my photographs represent the unbalanced world in which we live. I could be photographing advertising, but that is not my passion. I want to give voices to those who do not have it. This helps me understand the unbalanced world. While my photos many not change this world it provides me with a peace of mind that I have been able to see the world this way.
Behind every picture there is a story. What makes the story good is a great photo. A great photo comes from experiencing the moment.
To truly experience the moment, take a photo with fresh eyes. As a photographer you should look for a new approach, a new way to capture the image. If you read too much about an event or location when you photograph you may subconsciously be photographing someone else's story. The best pictures will come from your experience with the situation.
I buy a plane ticket, maybe check the weather. I don't like to research or know too much about what is going on. I want the photos to represent what I am feeling when I am there. Not a preconceived notion of what I read before going.
Just about every person has a camera these days. Many people can take snapshots but it takes hard work to capture great photos. Take lots of photos, digital cameras make it easy to
Impactful photos are created through knowing the technical aspects of your camera as well as be involved with what is happening in the photo. You have to be dedicated and motivated by what you are photographing to create the great photo. Have a passion for the subject matter.
Be committed, motivated, self-disciplined and have a clear objective. Focus on what you want to do and a have a vision of what you want.
The best photographers have personal views on the subject manner. You feel for your subject a lot, the subject matters. Be passionate about what you are photographing. The story will come through when you know the subject.
The less I know about what is going to be photographed the better. I need to feel every little emotion, experience it first hand, live it in the first person - - and only then can it be captured in a photograph.
A photo should intrigue a viewer; leave something out for the viewer to interrupt. A viewer should be able to write their own story about the photo.
By capturing photos different from everyone else you will start to build your style of photography. This will become your signature.
As a photographer who travels to countries in turmoil I have learned to work with different groups of people to get to where I need to be. While in Somalia I worked closely with the Doctors without Borders - I learned many things from them. I was able to see their perspective. But I also learned there are times when I needed to see other perspectives as well, at that time I moved on to meet others.
Locals can help you access the places you didn't know you wanted to be in. Build relationships with people in the area you are photographing, they will show you the amazing places to capture that you may not find through research.
Photography is about taking risks. Risks add to the uniqueness of the image, it helps keep it from being boring. Go to places where you may not be welcomed, if your heart is pure and you are honest with people you will come away with an amazing photo.
A recent risk I took involves the band Motorhead. I have always wanted to photograph them. After a little persuasion and photographing for free I was able to tour with them for two months across Europe. The next time they toured I was able to go with them – and be paid my expenses, hotels, flights, food etc…..! Believe in your dreams; take the risks to live them.
When going on a photography journey it is helpful to have a theme in mind. A theme can be as simple as a single word– Faith. When I began my journey to create a series for the World Press Photo Master Class I went to Sierra Leone with a word "Faith" in the back of his mind. That is what I knew I wanted to photograph. The result was a series of photographs of the amputees' football league.
When you make mistakes, learn from them. Learn how to correct the mistakes. One way to do this is to ask for feedback on your photos. Do not be afraid to show off your photos.
About Pep:
Pep Bonet is an award-winning photographer who has traveled the world capturing profound moments for assignments, clients and NGOs. Pep is an avid user of Kodak Professional Films, just another reason why we love him around here.

Gesiotto, the daughter of Dr. James and Sherri Gesiotto of Massillon, now will move on to compete in the 2014 Miss USA Pageant, a preliminary to the Miss Universe competition.
"I was absolutely shocked and excited," Gesiotto said. "I am so excited to start the year. I am looking forward to a fabulous reign and I cannot wait to represent the amazing state of Ohio at Miss USA."
Before her family moved to Jackson Township in 1998, Gesiotto attended preschool classes at Strasburg. She is a graduate of Jackson High School in Stark County and is a senior at Ohio State University, where she will graduate next spring with a degree in political science.
After graduation, she plans to attend law school. Her interests are corporate or sports law.
"Additionally, I plan to use my year as Miss Ohio USA to help jump-start a political awareness program throughout elementary, middle, and high schools across the state," Gesiotto said.
Gesiotto said her favorite part of the Miss Ohio USA competition was the on-stage questions to the five finalists.
"You have no idea what your question might be," said Gesiotto. "Many are political. With me being a political science major, that is of interest to me."
Gesiotto said her question pertained to the roll-out of Obamacare and its effect on young Americans.
"As a young American, this is frustrating," said Gesiotto. "We have a broken health care system, but it isn't turning out as hoped. There is no excuse for the website not be functioning like it should."
To prepare for Miss USA, Gesiotto said she will practice walking, eat healthier and work out. "I also will practice spot questions," she said.
Gesiotto competed with 80 contestants. This was her second attempt at capturing the Miss Ohio USA title. She finished as third runner-up in the 2013 pageant. The contestants competed in three categories — swimsuit, evening gown and interview.
Gesiotto said her mother and sister encouraged her to compete in the Pro Football Hall of Fame and Enshrinement Festival Queen's Contest at age 18. She was selected to be on the court and escorted Dick LeBeau, an enshrinee who had played for the Detroit Lions.
In 2010, she also competed in the Miss Teen Ohio pageant and made the top 15.
"I really enjoy pageants," said Gesiotto. "They create more confidence and help my speaking ability. I get to meet other young women and learn of their experiences."

Top Performer with Loads of Seating and Storage
By Capt. Ron Svoboda
Partnerships can be a wonderful thing—the relationship between Smoker Craft and Star Craft has resulted in the production of the Vectra 2282. Of the hundreds of boats I've tested, many of them ridiculously expensive, I found this affordable deck boat to be one of the most fun vessels I have ever been aboard. A great bottom design, matched with healthy sterndrive power from Volvo-Penta, gave me hours of enjoyment. Fortunately for me, I get to use the excuse that I'm "testing" the boat when I'm really just giggling like a kid and snapping tight radius turns and performing high-speed slalom maneuvers. I was amazed at how the boat tracks and can carve turns without prop wash or cavitation. Of course, the dual-prop drive helps, but the folks at Smoker Craft and Star Craft get the kudos.
At the Bow
After my stint of self entertainment, I realized that there was more to the 2282 than just performance. This is a serious deck boat with wraparound seating up front and innovative multi-position seating in the cockpit. Both areas can use the removable snack table, plus cup holders and stereo speakers abound throughout the boat. Up front, the wide bow gives lots of elbow room and a filler cushion can be installed to make a jumbo sun lounge or play pen. There is also a swim platform up front, complete with a retractable beach ladder and freshwater shower.
At the Stern
At the opposite end is the same, but here you can opt for the jumbo swim platform that spans the whole stern of the boat. Snap-in carpet covers the platform and makes for a plush activity zone. Another cool feature on the Vectra is the multi function companion seating, which converts from a forward-facing seat to an aft-facing lounger or can be converted to a flat bench for bringing along more guests. That's not all—hidden under the seating is a changing room that easily transforms to give you some privacy. Under the rest of the seats are storage compartments with plenty of room for everyone's stuff.
If a sporty family deck boat is on your 'to do' list, then the Vectra 2282 deserves a look. It comes with most of the features as standard equipment except for the power plant, which I recommend you don't skimp on.

AUSTIN (January 27, 2013)--Texas' high child poverty rate is beginning to put pressure on the state's budget, and experts warn the state needs to spend more on education or the state's economy could slow.
According to the U.S. Census, about 60 percent of Texas children live in poverty, and many of those children are unprepared and need extra attention when they start school.
If they do eventually get into college, the state's Higher Education Coordinating Board says they are relying on a shrinking pool of financial aid.
Public schools and state universities are calling for more money, but the state's Republican leadership has pledged to limit government spending dramatically.
In 2011, the Legislature reduced funding for public education by $5.4 billion, cut pre-Kindergarten programs and cut funding for college scholarships.

Meet Houston Plastic Surgeon
C. Bob Basu MD, MPH, FACS
- Board Certified Plastic Surgeon (American Board of Plastic Surgery)
- National leader in cosmetic surgery and patient safety
- Over 8000 cosmetic procedures performed
- Board of Directors, American Society of Plastic Surgeons
- Board of Directors, American Association for the Accreditation of Ambulatory Surgery Facilities (AAAASF)
- Chief of Plastic Surgery, North Cypress Medical Center
An Interview with Dr. Bob Basu
Q: Every plastic surgeon has a particular focus. What is yours?
A: My practice focus is on patient satisfaction, optimizing safety and comfort as well as consistent, beautiful results. This focus has contributed to our strong referral practice and patients who return for additional plastic surgery and non-surgical procedures.
My clinical focus includes: Cosmetic and reconstructive breast surgery, including breast augmentation, breast lift, and breast reduction procedures; Cosmetic body contouring, including mommy makeover procedures, tummy tuck, body lifts and contouring after weight loss; and surgical and non-invasive facial rejuvenation.
My staff and I also perform a wide range of minimally invasive and non-surgical cosmetic procedures, including Ulthera (ultrasonic face and neck lifting/tightening, Botox®, injectable fillers (Radiesse, Restylane, Juvederm, and fat grafts), chemical peels, and laser treatments.
Q: What is most important to you during a consultation with a new patient?
A: Cosmetic surgery is an important step in anyone's life. I want all my patients to have a comprehensive understanding of their options and to be confident about their choices. My patients regularly comment that I spend much more time with them than most other cosmetic surgeons. Our initial consultation is the opportunity for me to educate patients about their options. I want them to be fully informed and get all their questions and concerns answered.
Q: Where did you get your education and training?
A: I graduated Magna Cum Laude with High Honors from Princeton University and received my M.D. and Master of Public Health (M.P.H.) degrees from Tufts University School of Medicine in Boston, Mass.
As for training, I completed my general surgery training at the George Washington University Medical Center in Washington, D.C. and my training in cosmetic and reconstructive plastic surgery at the prestigious Michael E. DeBakey Department of Surgery, division of Plastic Surgery, Baylor College of Medicine. I have also served as an assistant professor of plastic surgery at Baylor College of Medicine for several years.
Q: You are a national leader in your field with leadership positions with the American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS). Why does this matter to your patients?
A: I consider myself an advocate for patients and other dedicated physicians. There are issues on the table, like insurance coverage and access to care that require hands-on attention. As Director of the Institute of Advanced Breast Reconstruction, I have witnessed first-hand insurance companies trying to deny patients' access to even reconstructive procedures after breast cancer. Simply put, this is not OK! Being actively involved in advocating for my patients allows me to serve my community to help represent the voice of patients in this ever-evolving American health care system. Being in a leadership position gives me the opportunity to make a difference that is tangible to my patients.
I am passionate about my involvement in the American Society of Plastic Surgeons – an organization altruistically dedicated to advancing the science of our specialty and the quality of care for our patients. I currently serve on the Board of Directors of the American Society of Plastic Surgeons. In addition, I am particularly proud of being selected by my peers to serve on the Ethics Committee of our society. As ASPS members, we commit to a very strict Code of Ethics to ensure the highest standards for our patients. I wanted to share the preamble for our Ethics Code with you:
To benefit humanity by advancing the art and science of plastic and reconstructive surgery; to promote the highest standard of professional skill and competence among plastic surgeons; to promote the exchange of information among plastic surgeons; to promote the highest standard of personal conduct among plastic surgeons and physicians; to provide the public with information about the scientific progress in plastic and reconstructive surgery; to promote the purpose and effectiveness of plastic surgeons as is consistent with the public interest.
Q: You often speak to your peers. Where have you been a presenter?
A: One of my early career mentors taught me "academics is a state of mind, not just a title." As an academic plastic surgeon in private practice with a commitment to scientific based outcomes, I have had the opportunity to share my clinical research and ideas at prominent medical organizations for plastic and reconstructive surgeons, including the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery, American Society of Reconstructive Microsurgery, Texas Society of Plastic Surgeons, and the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education.
Q: Safety is a major issue for you. How does this impact the work you do?
A: As a board-certified plastic surgeon, I am a physician above all else and must do everything possible to ensure a patient's good health. My medical research focuses on analyzing outcomes in cosmetic and reconstructive plastic surgery—both clinical outcomes and patient satisfaction. I believe nothing matters more than patient safety.
I currently serve as Chair for the Patient Safety Committee for the American Society of Plastic Surgeons. This committee has been tasked to examine important patient safety issues affecting plastic surgery patients. For instance, I had the opportunity to co-author/contribute to a special "Evidence-Based Patient Safety Advisory" supplement in the Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery journal (2009). I have also served as editor of a special patient safety issue of Seminars of Plastic Surgery titled "Optimization of Patient Safety in Cosmetic Surgery."
Q: What does it mean to have a fully accredited surgical facility?
We are proud to have a surgical facility fully accredited by the American Association for Accreditation of Ambulatory Surgery Facilities (AAAASF), whose primary mission is to ensure the highest quality for patient care in the ambulatory surgery setting. Again, I say this a lot—but patient safety is paramount. Now we can provide surgical care in a clean, relaxing boutique spa-like environment with the same level of safety as a hospital or surgery center without having to go to the hospital. In addition, we have board certified anesthesiologists to ensure that our patients are comfortable and safe during and after their procedure.
Q: You have achieved many honors from leading medical associations. What are they?
A: I'm very proud to have received honors from the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, Texas Society of Plastic Surgeons, American College of Surgeons, Association for Academic Surgery, and the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education. I was named one of Houston's Top Doctors in 2007-2013 by H Texas Magazine and Houston's Top doctors for Women in 2007-2013. In addition, I am proud to have been recognized as Realself.com Top Doc in Plastic Surgery in the Houston Metropolitan region. The greatest honor is having the privilege every day to help patients feel better about themselves.
Q: How do you choose members of your staff?
A: I look for people skills, first and foremost, because I insist that our patients be treated with the utmost care, respect, and compassion. I can train staff members on our systems and methods but sensitivity, the ability to connect with people, integrity, and loyalty cannot be taught. I also look for people who take great pride in their work. This ensures that the patient experience is exceptional at all levels of our practice.
Q: What advice do you have for someone contemplating plastic surgery?
A: I'd tell them to meet with more than one surgeon so they're confident they've made the right choice. Look for the proper training in plastic surgery, beautiful results in the before & after photos, and the indefinable connection and confidence that they should feel with their surgeon. Surgery is a process from pre-op to post-op and beyond. That's why the relationship matters.

With regard to the ongoing issue of the lake homeowner suing the bar owner over loud music being played thus disturbing the peace of homeowner(s), I'm left to question just where is Camden County on this issue?
The bar-owner is clearly in violation of the county's zoning ordinance. Why has the county not enforced it's own law? Why has this matter languished for so long without county residents being protected from this type of obnoxious activity?
What has kept and apparently is still keeping the county from doing its job to enforce the law? Many lake residents hail from places where this kind of activity is commonplace and would expect more from the lake area.
I'm very disappointed to learn that the county is forcing this homeowner to bring a civil law suit to enforce a law that the county can't/won't enforce. Why do we elect officials like these?

How come Epitaph is releasing this ?
You're asking a multi-tiered question. The simple answer is that I signed up with Epitaph for a 3 album deal. This is the 3rd album.
"I guess it REALLY doesn't matter... but personally, I would feel that the DIY approach is still possible if you released your new albums on SFR."
I still do DIY on top of everything Epitaph is able to do. Which is why I'm on this forum responding to you and handling all my other social networking and preparing for another national tour in a van. And Epitaph is handling all the things I'm unable to secure on my own. Don't have the time, energy or enough staff for it.
"Is it that Epitaph has more commercial connections?"
I don't really know what that means, but the answer is probably yes.
"Can they get your music into more 'ed norton' movies etc. ?"
It's possible, but I'm the one who got my music into the Ed Norton movie you're referring to. Epitaph had nothing to do with that except for maybe raising my status or recognition level to the point where someone at Newline was like, "Wait...who is this Sage Francis fella?" But, yeah, I worked that out independently.
"If thats the case, then whatever, thats cool. make your money, congrats."
Well...thanks. I don't want to act like everyone should know the intimate details of the business but sometimes I feel that way so it's tough knowing what to say and what not to say. If you knew how many albums we had to sell in order to break even you'd look at the number...then you'd look at me...and then you'd go, "Mmmm....good luck. Hope you make that money back." Maybe. haha
This album simply could not have been made without the help from Epitaph (or Anti-, which is the imprint that is handling this album.) The nuts and bolts of the album, in all its capacity, was made possible mainly because of Andy Kaulkin (President of Anti-.) On the business side of things, they run on all pistons with a shared responsibility by many people who are all dedicated to their designated positions. With SFR we have very few people who handle various aspects of the business. The more I run SFR the more I come to realize how much we would need to grow before we could release a big album (such as Li(f)e) and have it see the return it would need to justify the expenses it requires.
Not to downplay SFR...we're a great DIY label. Epitaph is a mini-major. I just don't foresee us ever getting to the level that Epitaph is on due to the money and staff support it would require, but I'm not opposed to letting other people try and make that a reality. Haha. I really need to focus on my own career at the moment before I call it quits completely and tell the music world to have a nice day.

That was a great response. thank you.
Without fully understanding all the aspects, I still get what you're saying about the expenses and staff it takes for this album etc.
Maybe I shouldnt have made the comment about the DIY.. it's obvious that SFR is running a successful business, with new independant releases.
I really hope your new album is amazing.

Ok, first off yes I finally finished updating RPG. Well kinda. I got it to 1.8.4 and the plugin we have been waiting on. But the new overhaul isn't in place yet. I had it running smoothly then I messed a simple function and now having issues. After staring at the code for hrs and not seeing my mess up, I said screw it and got the basic update ready. So it's in 1.8.4 and haven't tested much of it. Haven't even tested the classes and skills to see if they work. So go play monkey's and let me know.
I also updated the bukkit version to 1.8.4 R2. On both servers. So it says it's got a lag fix but lets see if it does. So let me know if the constant disconnects keep happening.
Also on a side note, I need some builders for RPG I need a few people to build some big cities. I have a way that worked once then stopped that allows me to enable an area to be a creative mode in the RPG map. So we can have a massive build site thats in creative mode, and then when you leave you get your normal inv back and go back to being in survival mode. But like I said it worked once and now I cant get to do it again.
Till next time.

A 76-year old Devils Lake man lost his life in a crash on Highway 2 approximately six miles southeast of Devils Lake last night.
At 5:20 p.m. the driver of a 2010 Buick Lucerne, whose name has not yet been released, struck the left rear side of a semi trailer truck.
The 1995 Freightliner was pulling an empty flatbed trailer and attempting to cross US Highway 2 at MP 276 to travel east towards Grand Forks.
The driver of the Lucerne was traveling westbound on US Highway 2 from Fargo en route to Devils Lake when he struck the left rear side of the trailer. Upon impact the Buick traveled toward the median and came to rest against the semi trailer in the south lane facing southwest. The Freightliner came to rest facing east with the trailer coming to rest in the median.
The driver of the Buick died in the crash. The driver of the Freightliner was not injured. The incident continues to be under investigation.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Federal regulators are striking a sour note with musicians and their congressional supporters.
Two years ago, Congress directed the Transportation Department to write rules requiring airlines to accommodate musicians traveling with their instruments by storing the instruments in closets and overhead bins where they fit. Travelers would be allowed to buy seats for larger instruments weighing less than 165 pounds.
Musicians have long complained that airlines damage or lose instruments, or force travelers to check them as baggage.
The rules are due Friday, but transportation officials haven't even started work on them. Transportation spokeswoman Meghan Keck says the department doesn't have enough money to do the work necessary to write the regulations.
More than 30 lawmakers signed a letter this week to Transportation Secretary Anthony Foxx complaining about the delay.

Hi all,
I am considering PMS for my PS3 setup to play vids/ films however I have a couple of queries.
I currently have all my data (DivX, MPG, AVI, VOB) stored on a NAS (Western Digital My Book World Edition II - WDG2NC10000E) which is in a different location to my PS3 and network connected via a Devolo network plug and as this is where I keep all of my data as it's RAIDed I don't want to move it anywhere.
When I scan for Media Servers on the PS3 I don't see my NAS so as I understand it I need to install a DLNA app on it however I haven't been able to confirm is PMS will work on my model NAS. I've heard of another, 'Twonky', but as I understand it this doesn't give the cover art and I'm very much interested in a jukebox style interface... and to be honest I'd rather not mess around with my data (even if it is RAIDed) using trial and error.
So, does anyone have my NAS (or a similar one) using PMS or can anyone give me a little guidance... any help gratefully appreciated.

mazey wrote:i think the buffered output is one of the most important features.
I respectfully disagree. IMHO the buffered output is one of the most overrated and overengineered features.
Since this is a rather bold statement coming from someone relatively new to the code like me, let me explain why.
Looking at it from a high level, why would PMS even bother to buffer output?
The client knows its own limitations best. You can bet that whatever player you are using, it will have some kind of buffering solution that makes sure you get the best playback experience. Having another buffer (like PMS) between the source and the destination will not improve playback.
Compare streaming; when PMS is streaming, it does so in 8192 byte chunks with no extra buffer code whatsoever. This works like a charm on every client, and we don't get complaints like streamed content missing the last few seconds or sound being garbled, nor is skipping or stuttering a problem or is streaming too slow (give or take the odd network problem). Your best experiences with PMS are from streamed content. If you would transcode files manually to another file, then stream the result using PMS, all problems would be gone.
PMS is very good at matching clients with what they can play, and transcoding source material based on that. Just examine the debug output and you'll be very happy that PMS takes all that hard work out of your hands.
PMS is also good at connecting to multiple clients and allowing them to browse the available media.
What PMS is not good at IMHO, is buffering transcoded data and sending it to a client.
I've been looking at the code for weeks now, trying to figure out what it is that makes it break. Or simply trying to understand what it wants to do and how.
This morning I woke up and it dawned upon me: "Why bother with buffering at all?"
If streaming a transcoded file works, then why not simply stream the piped content from the transcoder without any buffering or rewriting attempt whatsoever? Sure, the bytes will come in slower than if it were a file, but the client will probably just wait till its own buffer is filled and then play.
I'm probably oversimplifying here. Examine BufferedOutputFile and you'll see there is *a lot* of extra code to shift audio and video, compensate for WDTV etc.
Still, I am convinced that avoiding the use of BufferedOutputFile in OutputBufferConsumer or ProcessWrapperImpl (line 131) would solve a lot of the transcoding problems. It would probably solve more problems than the extra code currently fixes. And maybe the extra code could be piggybacked onto the new (almost) bufferless solution once that is proven to work.
Unfortunately my reasoning exceeds my coding skills.
I cannot figure out which OutputStream to couple the InputStream of the process to. Doh!
Is there some Java guru out there who is daring enough to attack this problem?

The Texas A&M – Corpus Christi Tennis program will host its annual alumni event on Saturday, with the TennisRecycle.com Alumni Match set for a 10 a.m. start at the Thomas J. Henry Tennis Center.
"Our teams and our athletic department are extremely grateful to Bert Devera and TennisRecycle.com for their generous sponsorship of this awesome upcoming event," said Director of Tennis Steve Moore. "I feel like this is one of the best alumni matches in the country and is very unique for several reasons.
"The first is the extremely high level that our alumni still play, the second is that almost all of them live in Corpus Christi and will be there for the match and the third is their tremendous affinity and their close ties they have kept to the program."
The Islanders return solid groups of players from both the men's and women's teams, but they will be tested against some of the all-time greats in the history of the tennis program.
"We have very strong men's and women's tennis teams, but I would put our alumni teams against any other alumni team in the country," said Moore. "I would even go so far to say that our alumni teams would be competing to be a nationally ranked NCAA Division I team if they were in college. They're still that good."
The Islanders men's alumni team features former team captains Jason Holland, Goncalo Figueiredo, Aurelien Tave, Dmitry Novikov and Alex Johansson, as well as Joey Farias. Every one of these players played on a nationally ranked Islanders team. Novikov and Figueiredo are currently the two winningest players in Islanders men's history.
The women's team is equally as strong, featuring former team captains Carlotta Santos, Alexandra Dyckman, Erica Iriarte, Megan Harless and Katy Rogers.
They will face a women's team that had a record of 16-5 and was third in the Southland Conference last year while returning all but one starter off of that team, which finished with the best season in school history. The Islanders also added prized recruit Maider Martin, who won her first ITA-sanctioned tournament as a freshman in the Marco & Co. Catering Islanders Open.
The Islanders men's team features four new freshmen on a team that has won the Southland Conference and reached the NCAA Division I Top 60 five years in a row.
"I feel like the Islanders teams have always been like a big family," said Moore. "Watching these great returning players who poured their heart and soul into building this program return again to compete is truly special."
The event is scheduled for a 10 a.m. start at the Thomas J. Henry Tennis Center and is free the public.

SAN MARTIN -- Former Cal players Charlie Wi, 41, and Max Homa, 22, are both in contention at the Frys.com Open after each shot a 3-under 68 in Friday's second round at CordeValle Golf Club on Friday.
Homa, playing on a sponsor's exemption, finished with a 36-hole total of 5-under 137 and is currently tied for 17th, with some late rounds to be completed. He's six shots behind leader Brooks Koepka, who leads the tournament at 11-under. Homa birdied his first three holes and had six birdies and three bogeys overall.
Wi, born in Seoul, South Korea, birdied three of his final seven holes. His 36-hole total of 7-under 135 has him currently in a tie for sixth, along with Vijay Singh, Scott Brown, Kevin Tway, and Billy Hurley III. Those players are all one shot ahead of Japan's Hideki Matsuyama and Ryo Ishikawa, who are in a group tied for 12th.
Homa, who became the first player in Cal history to win an NCAA Individual title in May, fought off nerves to acquit himself extremely well.
"I'm not too far off the lead, so that's what I'm kind of focused on," Homa said. "I feel like I'm kind of playing with house money in my first event and I can just kind of go out there play my game."
On getting a paycheck for his efforts, Homa thought of his parents.
"I was telling my parents, if I make the cut, when I get home I'm going to take them out to dinner for the first time," Homa said. "I've never had too much money in my life, so it feels really, really weird. If I can get a few breaks and make a few more putts, I think I can hang in there."
Wi has no career wins on tour but has five runner-up finishes, 21 top 10s and 55 top 25 finishes.

LOS ANGELES -- This is not the same David Lee.
He may have the same skill set -- a money midrange jumper, rebounding deftness, craftiness at finishing around the basket. He is putting up numbers similar to his career averages, but something is clearly different about Lee.
"I have a much better sense of confidence this year," Lee said after Friday's Warriors practice on the UCLA campus. "I am confident going out there that we're going to win my battle at the power forward spot. If I'm focusing and I'm playing the way I've been playing, I can get the better of most matchups."
This isn't the same guy who was reputed for getting his numbers the first three quarters and then disappearing down the stretch. This season, the Warriors are outscoring opponents by 49 points with Lee on the floor in games that are close down the stretch (within five points inside the final five minutes).
This isn't the same guy whose poor defense allowed more points than the ones he got back on offense. Lee has outshined several studs at his position so far this season: David West, Chris Bosh, Josh Smith (twice), Pau Gasol, Blake Griffin.
Lee will get a third run at Los Angeles Clippers All-Star Griffin when the teams meet Saturday. Lee outplayed Griffin noticeably the first two meetings, totaling 32 points on 13-of-24 shooting with 25 rebounds compared with Griffin's 29 points on 6-of-23 shooting with 17 rebounds. The Warriors won both games.
"He's playing like the best power forward in the business," Warriors coach Mark Jackson said of Lee, who is garnering considerable attention as an All-Star candidate.
"David Lee is in the discussion, and he's playing lights out," Jackson added. "His body of work. His consistency from Day 1. We're a winning team. He's had an impact. He's done it against the best. He's leading."
Lee, for the first time as a Warrior, is not "auditioning for my own team." He no longer has to prove he's worth the six-year, $80 million deal he got from the Warriors, and he's won over his teammates. He also has the unfettered support of Jackson and a cohort he gets along with well in guard Stephen Curry.
That, Lee said, has freed him to just play.
Having more weapons around him also has opened up the floor. The presence of Curry and Klay Thompson, and now guard Jarrett Jack, spreads the floor for Lee -- which highlights an important element of Lee's game.
"I think as good as he is as far as his shot and the fact that he rebounds and plays hard, I think his IQ to me is what stands out the most," Boston coach Doc Rivers said, "It's like in football. A lot of people go to those stupid combines and look at the time in the 40 instead of looking at the film and seeing who gets there first. If the guy who gets there first has a slower time, that probably means (he) is smarter. He's a step ahead in thought. And I think that's David Lee."
But Lee is not just outsmarting his opponents. He's done enough to make his critics ease up on calling him soft.
The consistency of the game plan, Lee said, has helped his defense. But so has his willingness to mix it up. On defense, he seems more willing to bang, and on offense more willing to embrace contact.
"I think he's defending," Jackson said. "He's playing more physical. He's playing with an incredible edge."
Jackson said the transformation began last season. After the trade that depleted the roster in March, the Warriors were left with rookies and otherwise end-of-the-bench type players. For most of the remaining games, Lee refused to shut it down.
To Jackson, that set the tone for this season. It earned Lee respect from his teammates. It gave him experience as the centerpiece of a team, even one that had little chance of winning. It forced him to dig deeper.
Now, Lee isn't just doing what he's always done, and the Warriors just happen to be winning. But the Warriors are winning partly because Lee is doing more than he's ever done.
"I know that I've changed some people's opinions this year," Lee said. "
Saturday's game
Warriors (22-10) at L.A. Clippers (26-8), 7:30 p.m. CSNBA

Cardinal Dolan 'Startled' by Pope's Resignation
New York Cardinal Timothy Dolan expressed shock and sadness at the surprise resignation of Pope Benedict XVI, which reverberated around the world on Monday morning.
"I'm as startled as the rest of you and as anxious to find out exactly what's going on," said Cardinal Dolan in a hastily arranged appearance on the "Today" show, adding that initially he believed the reports to be nothing more than a rumor.
Now Cardinal Dolan will be one of the American representatives charged with electing the next pope – a process he described as unfamiliar and somewhat daunting.
"I'm still unpacking the red socks from a year ago, when I was made a cardinal," he quipped. "I'm going to need some coaching here and I don't exactly know – except for prayer which I already do a bunch of and need to do more of – except for prayer I don't know what else to do. I'll await instructions along with everybody else."
Cardinal Dolan, who is also president of the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops, is considered by many church observers to be a long-shot to replace Pope Benedict.
He deflected questions about a possible succession on Monday, though he expressed gratefulness for the confidence that the pope had placed in him.
Pope Benedict installed Cardinal Dolan as Archbishop of New York in 2009 and appointed him to the College of Cardinals three years later. Cardinal Dolan acknowledged that debt on Monday.
"I loved this Pope," he said on the "Today" show. "I'm wearing the ring he gave me and the cross he gave me so I feel a particular bond with him and a note of sadness."
He said that the next pope should possess similar qualities to his predecessor.
"There's a learning, there's a savviness about the world, there's a theological depth, there's an unquestionably personal piety and holiness, there's a linguistic talent, there's a knowledge of the church universal," he said. "Those should all be qualities you look for."
In a statement, Cardinal Dolan praised Pope Benedict for unifying Catholics and speaking out for the world's poor.
"The Holy Father brought the tender heart of a pastor, the incisive mind of a scholar and the confidence of a soul united with His God in all he did," the statement said.
Pope Benedict XVI was elected pope in 2005 at age 78. He visited New York in 2008, including prayers at Yankee Stadium and St. Patrick's Cathedral.
As Cardinal Dolan contemplated the Pope's departure, "I find myself kind of somber," he said. "There are mixed emotions, you know? I mean, I love the guy."
Still, he said, the resignation – the first for a Pope in nearly 600 years – only enhanced his respect for the man.
"I just always admired him as a scholar, as a priest, as a holy man and now my admiration for him is even higher because of his humility," said Cardinal Dolan in a press conference on Monday morning. "That realistic humility only enhances the wonderful virtues that I have seen."
