Wednesday will bring the opening of the London 2012 Paralympic Games (with Prince Harry set to attend on Friday, his first public appearance since his Vegas photo scandal). Baroness Grey-Thompson, an 11-time gold medal-winning Paralympian athlete, hailed the sports event at a special St. Paul's Cathedral service last weekend for showing "the world what extraordinary athletes can do, who happen to have a disability."
Grey-Thompson expressed particular delight in how these Games "inspire a generation to think differently. I'm proud to see that, as I walk around London, posters of Paralympians adorn the streets. Paralympians are household names. The public care if they win or lose."
No stranger to major international tournaments, Nick Springer is among the Americans competing. The leader of the U.S. Wheelchair Rugby Team (and a Hall of Famer in the sport), the 27-year-old is going for his ninth consecutive gold medal after already claiming a Paralympic, two World Cup, two Western Hemisphere and three Canada Cup trophies.
'Rugby Player' Is 'My Identity'After contracting the bacterial infection meningococcal meningitis as a 14-year-old at summer camp in 1999, Nick awoke from a medically induced coma to find that both his arms and legs had been amputated. He lost his legs from the knees, down, and his arms at mid-forearm.
With determination, a sense of humor, and a loving family, he moved his life forward, becoming the top defender in his sport, as a tribute in September's Vanity Fair testifies.
"The thing I realized," Springer told a group of students the same age he was when his life changed forever, "is that, unfortunately, bad things do happen, and you just have to look past it and laugh and say, 'You know what? It's funny. I had no control over what happened. I had no control over losing my limbs. But I can control what I do afterwards.' "
What Springer did immediately afterward was return to his school and even to the summer camp. Graduating from regular ice hockey to sled hockey, he made his way to wheelchair rugby and the United States Paralympic Wheelchair Rugby (known as Murderball) Team.
"I'm a rugby player," Springer told NBC Sports this summer, as he was training for London. "People ask me what I do, and I say I'm a rugby player and I represent my country. That's my identity. That's who I am."
Of his sport, he said, "Not only is it an outlet, but it gives you a goal."
Beijing Victory, Family TragedySpringer first made the team in June 2005 and competed in the Beijing Paralympics. Tragically, his mother Nancy died of liver cancer the day after he won the gold medal there.
"I was standing there in China, and I was watching him, and I was so hoarse when they put the medal on him," his father Gary told New York's Lower Hudson Valley Journal News. "I was so proud. It was one of the greatest moments. But I was also thinking that the games were over. And now I have to go tell him that we have to leave in the morning because his mother is in a coma."
For Gary and his children – Nick has a sister, Olivia – the family philosophy, as it had always been, was that this is the new normal. They moved forward.
Today, Nick lives independently and drives his own car, dividing his time between New York and Phoenix, where he plays rugby for the Phoenix Fusion. Two years ago he graduated from Eckerd College in St. Petersburg, Fla., and he works as a spokesperson for the National Meningitis Association (of which his mother was a co-founder). Springer is also currently consulting with Novartis on behalf of the need for meningitis vaccination.
"I was given a ten percent chance of survival," Springer says of what happened to him at age 14. Since then, and moving forward into the 2012 Paralympics, he has not only survived. He and his indomitable spirit have thrived.

pheasant hunting during deer season
Started by
12 posts in this topic
Made it out yesterday evening, SAW 4 deer. The same small buck and 3 does. They sure seemed skittish with the wind.
For the fact I am getting very few daytime pics of any deer, I am at lest seeing a few every sit.
The crescent and south switch meet all the criteria, except for boat access. And they even usually have some sort of craft beer on tap, like surly furious etc.
The only place near the lake that has upscale food that I am aware of is the casino. We try to get to the wilderness grill for lunch a time or two. And daughter and husband will sometimes go there on date night while they are up, although the pull to the east is less now that the quilt shop in tower shut down.
I am going up this weekend with a few buddies and the plan is to fish hard...will post back and let ya know if we find anything.
Was up for the week of Sept 10-17th. First day spent on East and West Fox lake and we did well on bass, crappie and northerns. Second day was very slow fishing. Spent one day on Kego and did well on bass and norhterns. Hit Mitchel twice and did well on sunfish and bass. A few nice crappies in the mix as well. Went to Little Boy for a day of walleye fishing, and it was very slow. 1 walleye and 1 smallmouth bass. Great week of fishing on a few new lakes. A very nice area to explore.1 person likes this
The trees are turning color fast now! Seems to gain color by the hour now!
Driving a scenic route through a state forest is a great way to view fall color, according to the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources.
"Routes through hilly or rugged areas dominated by deciduous trees tend to have the best mix of color," said Jennifer Teegarden, DNR forestry outreach specialist. "And the dark green needles of conifers accent the yellow, orange and red leaves of deciduous trees in mixed forest."
Here are a few state forests routes to consider:
Late September
- Finland State Forest heading northeast along County Road 7 from Finland.
Early October
- Bowstring and Blackduck state forests along state Highway 46 between Deer River and Northome.
- Pillsbury State Forest along Beauty Lake Forest Road between County Road 77 and County Road 1.
- St. Croix and Nemadji state forests loop. From Interstate 35, take exit #183 and head east on state Highway 48. Head north on County Road 24. Head east on County Road 24. At Markville, head north on County Road 31. Head west on Park Forest Road. At Kerrick, head south on state Highway 23 to Interstate 35 exit #195.
- Richard J. Dorer Memorial Hardwood State Forest has two good options. Along Zumbro Bottoms Road off of state Highway 60 southwest of Wabasha. Along state Highway 16 between Interstate 90 and state Highway 26.
Visit www.mndnr.gov/stateforests for information about visiting a state forest and additional scenic routes. Entrance into a state forest is free. State forest campsites are available on a first-come, first-served basis for $14 a night.
Visit the Minnesota state parks and trails Fall Color Finder at www.mndnr.gov/fall_colors to find areas in Minnesota with peak fall color. The Fall Color Finder is updated every Thursday through the end of October.
A southeastern Minnesota stream reflects brilliantly colored leaves in fall – until the splash of a trout on the end of an angler's line breaks the surface. Anglers can enjoy scenes like these now through a variety of fall trout fishing opportunities.
"Fall is a beautiful time to experience trout fishing in streams in southeastern Minnesota," said Brian Nerbonne, stream habitat consultant with the Department of Natural Resources. "Anglers are fewer, the scenery can be awe inspiring and fishing can be quite good."
In most of the state, trout fishing is open until Friday, Sept. 30. However, anglers can make a longer go at it in southeastern Minnesota streams.
Catch-and-release trout fishing is open through Saturday, Oct. 15, on streams in the southeastern Minnesota counties of Dodge, Fillmore, Goodhue, Houston, Mower, Olmsted, Wabasha and Winona. In these counties, fishing then reopens for a winter catch-and-release season that runs Sunday, Jan. 1, to Friday, April 14, 2017.
For even more fishing, anglers who want to trout fish all year long can do so in streams in Beaver Creek Valley, Forestville and Whitewater state parks, whether through a catch-and-release or harvest season depending on the time of year.
"If you think trout are hard to catch in winter, consider the research over the last year that shows trout continue to feed heavily in winter," Nerbonne said. "Different teams of researchers found trout with anywhere from 30 to more than 100 prey items in their stomachs, depending on the study."
Vaughn Snook, Lanesboro assistant area fisheries supervisor, said numbers of brown trout longer than 12 inches are at record highs or close to it on some trout streams in southeastern Minnesota.
"Now is the time to take advantage of those great fish. Numbers of young trout look good for coming years," Snook said.
Reports of anglers using hopper patterns (grasshopper imitating flies) have been good in areas thick with grass. Grasshoppers will become active, and thus more likely to fall into the stream, as the sun warms their bodies in the afternoon. Blue-winged olive hatches (try using no. 20-22 olive mayfly) will be seen until the first frost, sometimes even after.
Because both brown trout and brook trout become aggressive in the fall, closer to their spawning time, anglers should also consider presenting streamers (minnow imitating flies) in deep runs and pools.
"Numerous brown trout over 20 inches have been reportedly caught by anglers already this late summer and fall period," Snook said.
Minnesota has 3,817 miles of designated trout streams, plus 2,699 miles of designated trout stream tributaries. In 2015, the state's five coldwater hatcheries produced 1.7 million fingerlings, yearlings and adult fish for stocking in 75 streams and 158 lakes – roughly 201 tons of fish. Last year, 106,463 anglers purchased a validation required to fish for trout, an all-time high. However, fewer anglers tend to fish in the fall.
Anglers fishing on designated trout waters must have a trout stamp in addition to an angling license. Maps showing trout fishing locations in southern Minnesota, as well as other information on trout fishing, can be found at www.mndnr.gov/fishing/trout_streams.
Hunters who were not chosen in the lottery to receive an antlerless deer permit can obtain one of 12 surplus antlerless permits for deer permit area 260, which covers the northwest corner of Minnesota and borders North Dakota and Manitoba.
Permits will be available starting 5 p.m. Monday, Oct. 3, on a first come, first served basis, anywhere DNR licenses are sold, or online on the buy a license page. Both residents and nonresidents can purchase these permits but must first purchase a firearms or muzzleloader deer license. Permits purchased online will be mailed. Orders by telephone will not be accepted.
In lottery deer areas, including permit area 260, firearm and muzzleloader license holders who intend to take an antlerless deer must possess an antlerless permit; otherwise, they are restricted to hunting bucks. The total bag limit for deer in lottery areas is one deer per year.
To stay informed about the deer management and other important deer-related topics visit the deer page and to receive updates via email, consider subscribing to the Deer Notes email list by entering an email address at the bottom of the page.
The DNR works to protect and maintain Minnesota's white-tailed deer. The deer population, which varies in density from place to place and year to year, is dependent on adequate habitat and directly influenced by the severity of winter weather. Deer are ecologically, socially and economically important in a state where hunting and wildlife watching generate more than $1.3 billion in annual economic impacts.
Pheasant hunting can put food on the table, supports grassland conservation and is a fun sport that doesn't require a lot of specialized or expensive equipment.
Once you've identified some areas you might hunt – the hunting usually takes place in grasslands or frozen wetlands – there are a few things to consider to make the most of time in the field once the Minnesota pheasant season opens on Saturday, Oct. 15.
Here are some tips from the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources.
Regulations handbook and hunting license
A small game license and pheasant stamp are required. Hunting regulations are covered in the 2016 Minnesota Hunting and Trapping Regulations Handbook. Licenses are available at the buy a license page or in person at any DNR license vendor, and handbooks are also available there or online at the hunting regulations page. Hunting licenses are also available by phone, any time, by calling 888-665-4236. Don't forget a $3 Walk-In Access validation, so you can hunt another 23,000-plus acres of private land.
Scouting an area will increase your odds of finding pheasants and good maps will help your efforts. Visit the wildlife management areas page for free online, interactive maps that identify wildlife management areas and Walk-In Access areas. Combined, these programs provide over 400,000 acres of public hunting land in Minnesota's farmland zone. A local plat book may also come in handy to identify specific pieces of land.
Shotgun and shells
The best shotgun is one you are comfortable with. The style or gauge isn't nearly as important as your ability to use it. Since pheasants are fairly tough birds, choose a load such as 4 or 5 shot and limit your shooting distances to 40 yards or less. This will result in fewer wounded birds. Nontoxic shot is required on federal land and many hunters prefer to use it any time they're in the field.
Blaze orange
Minnesota pheasant hunters are required to wear at least one visible article of clothing above the waist that is blaze orange. This could be a hat, jacket or hunting vest. Consider that the more blaze orange you wear, the more visible you'll be to other hunters.
Good footwear
Pheasant hunting involves lots of walking on uneven terrain. Good quality, above-the-ankle shoes or boots will provide comfort and support for a day in the field. Since crossing creeks and marshy areas is common, many hunters prefer waterproof boots.
Layered clothing
Cool fall mornings often turn into sunny, warm afternoons. Layered clothing will prepare you for a variety of weather conditions. Long sleeves and gloves will help keep you from getting scratched up when moving through tall grass, cattails or woody cover. Hunting chaps or brush pants are an option to protect your legs and keep you dry on mornings when the grass is wet.
Eye and ear protection
Any time you use a firearm, protect your eyes and ears. Sunglasses and foam ear plugs provide basic protection. More expensive options include coated, colored, high impact lenses and digital hearing aids that enhance some sounds while protecting ears from loud noises.
A good dog
A dog is not required to hunt pheasants, but a good hunting dog will be a companion in the field and increase chances to harvest and recover birds. Be aware that owning a hunting dog is a year-round commitment of care and training. Be sure you're willing to invest significant time and energy before taking on the responsibility of a dog.
Be sure to carry at least two bottles of water in the field and have jugs of water at your vehicle. Water your dog and yourself, often. Bring snacks to keep your energy level up and consider canine energy bars for your dog.
Finally, grassland habitat is the key to supporting pheasant populations, and much work remains to improve pheasant habitat in Minnesota. The grasslands that support pheasants have multiple important benefits for people, other wildlife, pollinators, water quality and local economies.
To learn more about pheasant hunting, as well as about what the DNR and partner organizations are doing to improve pheasant habitat, visit the pheasant page.
Minnesotans who would like to serve on committees that review how the Department of Natural Resources spends Game and Fish Fund dollars are welcome to submit an application by Monday, Oct. 10.
The DNR is seeking at least 12 people to serve on the Fisheries Oversight and Wildlife Oversight committees. Appointees will be responsible for reviewing the agency's annual Game and Fish Fund Report in detail and, following discussions with agency leaders and others, write a report on the findings of this review. About half of the current members' terms expire on Wednesday, Dec. 14, and are subject to this open application.
The two committees are comprised of members identified through a self-nomination process. Those who want to serve on the committees should have a strong interest in natural resource management and how it is funded. DNR Commissioner Tom Landwehr will appoint committee members for three-year terms. Applications are being accepted online until Oct. 10.
Though not well known, Minnesota's Game and Fish Fund is the fiscal foundation for much of the state's core natural resource management functions. Upwards of $95 million a year is deposited into this fund from hunting and fishing license sales, federal excise taxes on hunting and fishing equipment and related items, and a portion of a sales tax equivalent on state lottery tickets. The dollars that flow into this fund pay for the fish, wildlife, enforcement, and ecological management that support 48,000 jobs in Minnesota's outdoor recreation and hospitality business.
Interested applicants can learn more by reviewing past Game and Fish Fund reports on the game and fish oversight page.

Seth Petruzelli. Photo property of the Ultimate Fighting Championship.
It's already been a bad start to the week for EliteXC because of the demise of Kimbo Slice and unfortunately for them, it could be getting worse. In an interview this morning with Orlando, Florida's 104.1 FM "Monsters" morning show, Seth Petruzelli discussed his quick win over Slice on Saturday night.
Normally it wouldn't be a big deal, but it was what Petruzelli said close to ten minutes into the interview that has caught the attention of many in the mixed martial arts community this evening. According to Petruzelli's original comments on the show, EliteXC officials offered to pay him extra if he promised to stand and strike with Slice.
"My original plan was to use push kicks and have him think that I'm going to throw them and then rush in on him and take him down," Petruzelli said on the show. "I have kind of an awkward style so I knew that I would do alright on the feet with him. The promoters kind of hinted to me, and they gave me the money, to stand and trade with him. They didn't want me to take him down, let's just put it that way."
Would the above be considered "fixing" a fight? I'm not going to dive into it too much but I'm sure one could certainly see it that way. MMA on Tap contacted EliteXC for an official response to Petruzelli's comments earlier this evening but didn't return comment by the time of publication. Since then, Petruzelli has told Five Ounces of Pain what he said on the show didn't mean what everyone else now thinks:
"What was meant to be said was that I wanted to keep the fight standing for myself because I knew that was what the crowd, the promoters, and everyone wanted to see because that's more exciting than just taking someone to the ground," Petruzelli said. "That was my thing only. I wanted to keep it exciting so I decided to keep it standing. It had nothing to do with anybody else. That was all me."
Upon being asked directly whether EliteXC officials had even hinted that he could receive a bonus by keeping the fight standing, Petruzelli clarified that no such act had taken place.
"No," he responded. "Look, even the UFC gives knockout bonuses. Everyone gives knockout bonuses. There's knockout bonuses, submission bonuses, all sorts of bonuses. I just wanted to keep it standing because I felt I could beat (Kimbo) at his own game."
It's key to note that on the show, Petruzelli was asked about his original strategy going into the fight before making the comment about EliteXC and their wanting to have the fight stay on the feet for the most part. Whether Petruzelli minced words and truly meant something else might not be totally known regardless since EliteXC will likely vehemently deny any of the reports out there completely and try to kill the issue.

SANTA CLARITA - A Castaic man faces six felony charges after allegedly plotting to kidnap his child from a house in Canyon Country, an official with the Los Angeles County District Attorney's office said Friday.
David Maryniak, 36, has been charged with two counts of attempted kidnapping, two counts of criminal threats, one count of stalking and one count of vandalism causing more than $400 in damage, all felonies, according to District Attorney's spokeswoman Jean Guccione.
Maryniak was arrested Wednesday evening in Canyon Country following a brief manhunt after he allegedly attempted to kidnap his child from his estranged wife and family, said Deputy Josh Dubin with the Santa Clarita Valley Sheriff's Station.
That manhunt began Tuesday when deputies responded to the 19500 block of Delight Street in Canyon Country and a male suspect, identified as Maryniak, fled the scene and eluded capture.
Maryniak was later arrested without incident at a Walgreens store on Soledad Canyon and Whites Canyon roads.

TRENTON — Democratic leaders in the General Assembly yesterday proposed a state budget that would dramatically reduce layoffs of state workers and protect employees from Gov. Florio's demand for contract concessions.
The plan offered by Assembly Speaker Joseph V. Doria Jr. of Hudson County clearly undercut the governor's attempt to get the upper hand with state unions. It came as the state entered its final week before its annual June 30 deadline to adopt a budget.
The Doria proposal also would restore $65 million in aid to the state's colleges and provide more money for social services and the New Jersey Network. And it would rescind the so-called toilet-paper tax, the extension of the sales tax to paper products.

Before Katie Diamond launched her eponymous line in 2007, she crafted engagement rings and jewelry gifts for friends in her spare time. Diamond's understated pieces — cast in 14-karat yellow, rose, and white gold — are inspired by world travel, and each is set with unique gemstones selected by her husband on trips to India and Hong Kong. Equal parts bohemian and luxe, these delicate adornments -- think necklaces, earrings, rings and bracelets studded with black garnets, labradorite, lapis and moonstone -- are handcrafted in the designer's workshop studio in New Jersey.
Bold bangles, drop earrings, and more baubles that'll gleam in the sun
With pieces this hot, summer doesn't stand a chance
Your last chance to snap up these chic, limited pieces
We searched the globe for these precious stones—so you didn't have to

At the annual LCDPS Christmas Dinner Dec. 19, Paramedic Mandy Willis was awarded Employee of the Year as voted by her peers.
In addition to her regular position as an Out of Class Captain and Paramedic, Mandy manages all of the public relations events for the department, including coordinating the Employee Christmas Dinner.
She has been an employee of the department since 2007 and continues to show her commitment to serving others and dedication to the department every day.
On Dec. 21, the Levy County Department of Public Safety (LCDPS) Firefighter I class received hands-on training with a live car fire.
Captain Jerry Horton instructed the class with the help of Captain Joe Rinaudo, Instructor Mark James, and Mentor Dennis Russell.
The class was broken down into squads of four, and each squad went through the live scenario twice. This training provided the recruits skills to handle a live fire and scene control.
A 67-year-old woman died following a crash on Tuesday, Dec. 24, shortly after 6 p.m. at the intersection of State Road 26 and County Road 341, according to a Florida Highway Patrol report.
The Levy County Sheriff's Office reports the following arrests for the week ending Dec. 22:
The Florida Highway Patrol will conduct a Comprehensive Roadside Safety Checkpoint (CRSC) on Tuesday, Dec. 31, starting at 10 p.m. at the 5300 Block of State Road 222 (Northeast 39th Avenue) and will encompass both the east and westbound lanes.
This is a continuing enforcement program to identify persons who are operating a motor vehicle with defective equipment, without a valid driver's license, without a proper vehicle registration, proper insurance or while under the influence of alcohol or other drugs.
The objectives of these checkpoints are:
On Dec. 9, Willie James Flanders Jr. registered as a Sexual Predator with the Levy County Sheriff's Office. By Florida law Flanders is required to notify law enforcement whenever he changes addresses.
The Levy County Sheriff's Office reports the following arrests:
A man shot at his University Oaks home on Friday evening was airlifted to Shands Hospital for treatment according to a Levy County Sheriff's Office spokesman.
The Levy County Sheriff's Office is asking for the public's help in identifying a suspect caught on camera during a break-in at the Verizon phone store on U.S. Highway 19 North.
The break-in occurred in the early morning hours of Monday, Dec. 16. The suspect took cell phones and electronics. The staff discovered the break-in when they reported to work on Monday.
Requests for approval to apply and accept federal and state grants are pretty common at Levy County Commission meetings, but one at the Dec. 3 meeting sparked some questions from one commissioner because it calls for the purchase of gym equipment.

Good Will punting? In Gloucestershire, Prince William showcased his talent for multitasking by playing a soccer game with pals while taking a call on his cell phone. Will, who turned 20 on June 21, got an even bigger kick out of the conversation, which brought the goal-oriented royal to his knees (inset).
Wonder boy: Although he's only a tot of 22 months, DNA-blessed Dylan Douglas displayed his basic instinct—waving to fans—while his famous mom, Catherine Zeta-Jones, and pop, Michael Douglas, admired his technique at a park in L.A.
Who's that curl? Why, it's Woody Harrelson, who got all tressed up on the Manhattan set of Anger Management. Woody plays a transvestite in the upcoming comedy, which costars Adam Sandler and Jack Nicholson.
For his latest feat, illusionist David Blaine—who recently perched atop a 50-ft. pillar for 48 hours in Manhattan—traded magic for chemistry with new girlfriend Daryl Hannah in Paris.
What's up, Doc? After receiving a Doctorate of Humane Letters from Chapman University, Arnold Schwarzenegger paused for an impromptu tutorial with a young fan in Orange, Calif. "Work hard, stay focused, and marry a Kennedy," he told the crowd.
Smooch operators: In Santa Monica, ER alums Julianna Margulies and Ron Eldard brushed up on mouth-to-mouth skills. The couple, who met in 1991, will costar in Ghostship, a thriller due next fall.
"Every cent of my first paychecks went to flying lessons," said John Travolta, who, with a little ground support from his wife, Kelly Preston, and daughter Ella, 2, received his flight wings in Los Angeles as an ambassador-at-large for Australia's Qantas airlines. On July 1 the aviating actor and his family take off for a two-month, around-the-world 13-city trip aboard a refurbished Boeing 707 that Travolta purchased from the airline and will pilot himself.
Blind justice: On the L.A. set of Daredevil, Ben Affleck tussled with costar Jennifer Garner. He plays a crime-fighting attorney whose vision was destroyed by radioactive waste (he battles evildoers using his heightened senses). She plays his nemesis, Elektra. The latest comic book-turned-celluloid superhero tale hits theaters in January 2003.
Odder in the court: Shock rocker Marilyn Manson (right) toned down his gender-bending garb for his June 19 appearance at a Clarkston, Mich., courthouse, where he pleaded no contest to disorderly conduct and assault and battery. Manson, who was charged with sexually assaulting a security guard at a concert last July, will pay a $4,000 fine.
A beaming Angela Bassett brought the light of her life—actor hubby, Courtney B. Vance, recently hobbled by a torn Achilles tendon—to the L.A. premiere of her new drama Sunshine State. In the film Bassett plays a failed actress trying to reconnect with her mother.

Dell introduces ten new laptops

| On is a flash-based barebones Linux install that gets you up and running, on

| Dell went to great pains to avoid saying the L-word though, it might anger
| the very touchy gods atop mount Redmond.
Windows running under GNU/Linux. Later it can be thrown out the windows.
Are "instant on" notebooks the future?
,----[ Quote ]
| If I think about my normal notebook usage patterns, I'm pretty sure I could
| spend a good 80 - 90% of my time in the instant on environment and only boot
| into Windows when I needed to do something specifically Windows-centric. In
| fact, given a properly set up Linux distro as the main OS (which should be a
| snap to set up since these systems would/should already be Linux-compatible
| because they are running the Linux-based instant on OS ) which would allow me
| to handle Microsoft Office docs, and a VPN, I could do away with having
| Windows on the system altogether and simply connect to a secondary
| Windows-based PC when I wanted that functionality (when on the road I rarely,
| if ever, need to run anything heavy such as Photoshop).
This week:
Select Dell Notebooks Now Cheaper With Ubuntu + Retail Vista Than Vista
,----[ Quote ]
| Since Dell has recently added several new models to the Ubuntu line, I
| decided to do price comparisons between the Linux and Windows models. I tried
| to get the systems as close as possible, but in a few cases there are very
| minor differences.
Dell's comeback machine
,----[ Quote ]
| There are some surprises beneath the surface of the Latitude line as well.
| One is an optional Linux-based low-power mode called Dell Latitude On, which
| boots in two seconds. It offers more than a day's worth of battery life for
| basic tasks like web surfing, Exchange e-mail, and viewing e-mail
| attachments, and runs on an ARM-based (ARMH) chip rather than the main Intel
| processor. (HP and Lenovo laptops offer similar Linux modes, but with fewer
| capabilities.)
Dell to launch 'Eee PC beater' today
,----[ Quote ]
| Dell is expected to unveil its eagerly anticipated attempt to out-Eee Asus'
| Eee PC later today at an event focused on a "new generation of mobility
| products".
Dell shipping five Hardy Heron systems
,----[ Quote ]
| Dell is shipping two new laptops with widescreen LCD displays and Ubuntu
| Hardy Heron (8.04) operating systems with DVD playback. Additionally, the
| largest U.S. PC maker has started offering Hardy Heron on three models
| previously available with the earlier Gutsy Gibbon Ubuntu release.

50 percent off at Angels Team Store
The Angels Team Store is showing its fan appreciation by taking 50 percent off most merchandise in its stores at Angel Stadium. The sale ends Wednesday.
The "Family Value" merchandise, such as $10 ballcaps and T-shirts, and a selection of more fashionable 50th anniversary shirts, aren't discounted but the Majestic authentic player jerseys are, slashed from around $120 to $60, which appears to be what a lot of fans are buying.
Jersey selection as far as players and sizes are limited. It's slim pickings for Jered Weaver wear beyond youth sizes. There's no shortage, however, of Kendrys Morales or Vernon Wells apparel. If you're seeking a Mike Trout, Peter Bourjos or Mark Trumbo jersey, you're out of luck. The Team Store doesn't carry these players' authentic jerseys but it does have them in red jersey T-shirts ($20-22 before discount).

Mexican telecoms and Brazilian oil pump up the deal volume numbers claimed by advisors, but flow is still up year-on-year, even after stripping out distorting Telmex and Petrobras trades.

- 12 ounces andouille sausage, chopped
- 4 large Idaho potatoes, about 3 pounds, peeled and cut into 1-inch wedges
- 1 3/4 teaspoons salt
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
In a large skillet over medium-high heat, brown the sausage, stirring, about 6 minutes. Drain on paper towels.
In a large, heavy saucepan, combine the potatoes and 1 teaspoon of the salt. Cover with water by 1-inch and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer until the potatoes are fork tender, about 25 minutes. Drain the potatoes and return them to the cooking pot. Add the cream, butter, the remaining 3/4 teaspoon salt, and black pepper to the potatoes. Place over medium-low heat and mash with a potato masher until no longer lumpy, about 2 minutes. Add the cooked andouille and continue mashing until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes.
Serve immediately.
