Rated 5 out of 5�by Cgibby4 Love the slots and the side pockets! I ordered this product for my brother who spends about 3-4 fays a weeks during the summer months playing frisbee golf. He didn't own a nice bag to carry his disc in. I ordered the bag as a token of appreciation for being in my wedding. I recently had it embroidered. It looks perfect! I believe he is really going to like it! Thanks so much, Crystal May 31, 2016
Rated 4 out of 5�by EstebanUno My son was thrilled, great bag! I'm sure there are better, more expensive bags on the market, but for the price, the versatility, and the quality this is a very good product. January 11, 2016
Rated 5 out of 5�by Steam2go Perfect bag This bag has more than adequate room for all your necessities for a great game of disc golf. Two pockets big enough for wallet, keys and cell phone. Two large pockets for water bottles and much more. I would highly recommend this bag to complete any players equipment list. July 26, 2015

Rated 5 out of 5�by schnitz Great Disc Golf Bag I'm very happy with this bag. I bought it in green and tan, and I think it looks great. I like that the cover can be rolled back and secured using the attached Velcro strap. There's a lot of space, and the two cup holders work great. Can't wait for it to warm up so I can take the bag out more often. March 6, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5�by albitron31 Sweet Bag! I am a serious disc golfer with several discs. I started out with the Innova standard bag, which was great, but as I gathered more discs I quickly outgrew it. I looked all over for this bag until I finally found it a Dick's. It says it can hold up to 20 discs, but I have easily managed to fit 24 discs, 2 putters in the front pocket and 22 in the bag. It has nice sturdy dividers on the inside that offer great support for the bag and I also use it to separate my putters, mid-range/fairways drivers, and distance drivers. It has a place in the front for your mini and a pen/pencil. The two pockets on the side are great for storing keys, cell phone, food, or whatever you like. The two bottle holders will easily hold 32 oz. bottles or drinks with no problem. There is also a pocket on the inside of the bag that I use to store my rule book and other things like that. Also to save you the hassle you can take the lid and role it up and there is a small velcro strap on the top back that can clasp around the rolled up lid to keep it out of the way. I accidentally ripped the velcro off and later found out its use by observing someone else using it this way. It is a very sturdy and durable bag that I highly recommend. December 29, 2012

Attention living jazz legends: make friends fast. Or at least treat your relatives respectfully. Because if you don't, your legacy is likely to take a beating. A few weeks ago, David Hajdu, a superb jazz writer at the New Republic, re-evaluated Stan Kenton, and his assessment was fairly blunt: "The bulk of [Kenton's] output was blighted by ostentation, gimmickry, and bloat. Stan Kenton gave pretentiousness a bad name." David went on to "recommend the music highly to any contemporary artist inclined to monstrosity." [Photo at top of Buddy Childers and Stan Kenton c. 1948 by William P. Gottlieb]
David certainly has a point. I have my own Kenton issues. I think the bandleader's rigidity, sappiness and frigid way in which he tried to Wagnerize jazz now seems silly, claustrophobic and contrived. Kenton always seems like a bank president trapped inside an orchestra leader. Even Kenton's own band musicians chafed under his anti-swing vision, and the leader came across as a musical martinet who sought high-culture legitimacy at all costs.
But I'm not sure that writing off Kenton's contribution to jazz based completely on these charges is appropriate. In all fairness, Kenton was no more or less pretentious or classical-obsessed than Duke Ellington, Dave Brubeck, Gil Evans and many other jazz greats under the sway of modernists. And Kenton's outsized, elitist ego surely didn't exceed Artie Shaw's, Bing Crosby's, Mel Torme's or half a dozen other musical personalities from the period.
So why is Kenton such a plump target for East Coast scribes?
I think Kenton's sound has been somewhat misunderstood. Kenton was from California. And California in the 1940s and '50s was a special place. It was big and growing bigger, fast during this period. California was first to embrace post-war modernity with its highway system, cars and tract housing. It had more of everything and was the cradle of the post-war American Dream.
And thanks to racist real estate covenants and segregationist police departments, Southern California's expansion was largely white. In the post-war years, more white musicians moved to the West Coast to take advantage of the weather, the recording opportunities and the new suburban lifestyle. Of course, there were plenty of black musicians who did well there, too—Nat Cole, Lee Young, Ray Brown, Buddy Collette, Red Callender [pictured] and others. But for the most part, Southern California was a white environment that greatly assisted white jazz—due to no fault of the white jazz musicians who benefited from the system.
Kenton was able to assemble a band of extraordinary players, readers and arrangers. The best bands ever? Hardly. The one band that will remain relevant for years to come? Obviously not. But in its time (from roughly 1945 to 1960) Kenton's bands were repeatedly extraordinary. Solo for Buddy, The Opener, Artistry Jumps, Malibu Moonlight, Beyond the Blue Horizon, Eager Beaver, Intermission Riff—all these and more encapsulate the drama of Southern California's brooding intensity, its coastline, its sunsets, its ambition and its aggression. The music of lotus land in transit.
In fact, I'm not sure how one writes off Kenton's contribution given the strength of Back to Balboa (1958) alone. Just as we size up Louis Armstrong, Charlie Parker and Miles Davis in context with their times and ambitions, Kenton, for better or worse, needs to be valued the same way.
Kenton put the brassy kick in orchestral jazz. His band was made of up power punchers, and all were exceptional players and readers. His personality may not have allowed for the swing of Count Basie, the poetic textures of Duke Ellington or the wooliness of Woody Herman. But a large percentage of Kenton's works remain important.
Kenton was the West. And sometimes the West sounded superficial. Or less original. But California jazz still matters, and Kenton was the gleaming engine behind much of that optimism and dreaming. As for his daughter's charges in her book, shame on Kenton if they're true. As for the music, you really need to hear it while driving along the coast just south of Los Anegles. It all comes into focus.
Barbara Lea (1929-2011), a vocalist with enormous promise in the mid-1950s whose stage fright and slowing work opportunities forced her to give up singing until an acting career restored her confidence nearly 20 years later, died Dec. 26. She was 82.
Lea never seemed to be in the right place at the right time when she launched her professional singing career in 1954. A vocalist with sophistication and plenty of musical taste, Lea sacrificed a significant following when she chose not to tour—essential to an artist's popularity just as it is today. As a result, she was unable to gain traction as opportunities began to shrink rapidly in the pop-rock era.
Lea also was at something of a disadvantage, since she had a clean-cut, girl-next-door look in the '50s just when many popular female vocalists appeared sultry and vixen-like on stage and on album covers in an effort to part unsuspecting male music lovers from their LP dollars.
To Lea's credit, though, when she returned to the stage in the '70s, she managed to win the hearts of prominent jazz critics, including The New Yorker's Whitney Balliett. Their support helped revive her music career. But while Lea's choice of American Songbook classics enabled her to resurrect her singing career, she tended to become pegged as a cabaret singer and remained little known to many jazz fans.
Lea's finest moments in the studio include A Woman in Love (1955/Riverside), Barbara Lea (1956/Prestige) and Lea in Love (1957/Prestige).
Here's Lea singing Where Have You Been, from Barbara Lea, featuring Johnny Windhurst (tp) Dick Cary (p) Al Casamenti (g) Al Hall (b) and Osie Johnson (d)...
Carol Sloane—more about that photo. Last weekend I posted the photo above, courtesy of singer Carol Sloane. It features (from left): Bob Brookmeyer, Jimmy Rowles, Carol Sloane and Tommy Flanagan. Naturally, I had a bunch of questions—probably the same ones you had. Carol was kind enough to fill me in:
Where was the photo taken? "The apartment belonged to Pat Sheinwold on W. 58th St."
What's the occasion? "This was a party held for pianist Jimmy Rowles on the evening just before he left for England to play behind Ella Fitzgerald. He was to take over for Tommy Flanagan, who's with me at the piano. Jimmy had actually played for Ella a few weeks earlier as her 'new man' on a gig in Atlantic City."
Were you dating Bob Brookmeyer at the time? "No. This party would have been held in 1977 or '78. Bob had returned from Los Angeles in 1976, clean and sober."
What were you singing with Tommy at the piano? "I don't know whether I was singing or talking, but it sure looks like I was singing. I have no idea what the tune might have been."
Who else was at the gathering who isn't pictured? "Pianist Dick Katz and Tommy's wife Diana."
How did Flanagan and Rowles wind up in the same room? "Our hostess wanted it that way. And because they were very close friends. And because Jimmy was taking the piano chair for Ella. The only time I ever talked to Norman Granz was when I volunteered to negotiate the weekly stipend Jimmy would receive."
Whose photo is framed on the piano? "Jascha Heifetz."
What are Rowles and Brookmeyer talking about? "Lord only knows..."
Ray Charles—Hit the Road Jack and more. If you've been following Bret Primack's series of super video docs in support of Ray Charles: Singular Genius, the ABC Singles (Concord), you'll love his new installment...
CD discovery of the week: Mayer Hawthorne is the stage name of Andrew Mayer Cohen, a Los Angeles singer, producer, songwriter, arranger, engineer, DJ and multi-instrumentalist. Mayer is his middle name; Hawthorne is the street he grew up on in Ann Arbor, Mich. How Do You Do (Universal Republic) is Hawthorne's third album and a crafty integration of past soul themes, resulting in a powerful and convincing new white soul sound. On the singing and arranging side, Hawthorne manages to flavor his originals with touches of Blue Magic, the Average White Band and the Doobie Brothers. The beats are all catchy, and the keyboard, guitar, bass and horn hooks are tight and clubby. What's particularly nifty is how Hawthorne writes songs with contemporary themes but frames them with older soul approaches. Each of these themes is vaguely familiar. Notable tracks—Get to Know You, A Long Time and The Walk, which sounds like a funky blending of Tommy James and Lenny Williams. Or You Called Me, with its General Johnson Give Me Just a Little More Time vocal attack. Or You're Not Ready, a neat salute to Barbara Mason's Yes, I'm Ready. Hawthorne has quite a falsetto. Nicely done. You'll find How Do You Do at iTunes and Amazon.
Oddball album cover of the week: Chet Atkins in Hollywood was recorded in October 1958, when Hollywood still meant the opportunity to record pop and movie themes. Pop-rock was a few years off. Given Chet's love for the guitar, my guess is that his amazement and excitement behind the wheel have more to do with the Gibson hanging out on Hollywood and Vine than our gilt gal.

False eyelashes may be a go-to for some ladies, but in many ways they simply aren't worth the effort it takes to maintain them. Whether you go for expensive lengthening treatments or use false lashes, it can be a wasted expense when there are so many better options out there to jazz up the look of your eyes.
These fake lashes require quite a bit of preparation to pull off, so they're not exactly something that you'll go for in the morning when you're trying to get out the door.
Worse yet, you will have to be extra careful to find mascara and other eye makeup that is water-based. Oil in some cosmetics can cause the adhesive to break down, so this could be an additional investment in time and money.
Revitalizing your lashes and giving them natural length is the ideal way to go, so try blinc Long Lash. This groundbreaking product can be used up to twice a day to dramatically enhance the thickness and length of your lashes. You will begin to see results in as little as two to three weeks!

Harvey Weinstein on Netflix: Buy Icahn, Sell Wall Street
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- Academy Award winning producer Harvey Weinstein is ready to buy Carl Icahn and sell Wall Street when it comes to understanding the prospects of Netflix (NFLX) .
After the streaming movie pioneer pulled what Weinstein called an industry "game changer" by agreeing to a multi-year content exclusivity agreement with Disney (DIS) , the co-founder of Miramax Films and current co-chair of The Weinstein Company is ready call winners and losers on Wall Street when it comes to assessing Netflix.
In a Wednesday panel discussion at the UBS Global Media Conference with Netflix Chief Content Officer Ted Sarandos, Weinstein was ready to forgive Carl Icahn on previous losing media industry bets after the activist investor took a near a 10% stake in Netflix this fall, which has gained sharply with the company's improving prospects.
Weinstein appeared less forgiving to Wall Street investors, who he said badly misread Netflix's potential earlier in the year.
Icahn won praise from Weinstein for backing Netflix ahead of the company's announcement of a major content agreement with Disney. In contrast, Weinstein indicated selloffs in Netflix shares when the company didn't renew exclusive content agreements with Liberty Media (LMCA) -controlled Starz and Epix reflected the short-term thinking of some investors.
"That Starz deal, when you didn't renew
CCO Sarandos said Netflix's hesitance to cut new deals with Starz and Epix had to do with a lack of exclusivity or weak demand for their content.
In the case of Disney, Sarandos said at the conference it marks a shift in Netflix's business model to focus spending on exclusive content.
In fact, Sarandos indicated that Netflix could eventually make self-produced original content, when asked by Weinstein. Currently, Netflix is the only distributor of Arrested Development Season 4 and it is set to release House of Cards , an exclusive series, in Feb. 2013.
Weinstein was skeptical of Wall Street short-termism in over reading Netflix's decision not to continue with Starz; however, he was happy to give Icahn a pass on previous media industry missteps, such as exiting Lions Gate Films (LGF) just before the company's stock surged on the release of Hunger Games earlier in 2012.
"We used to say Carl Icahn is the lucky charm," Weinstein said of the activist's Lions Gate takeover flub. However, he gave praise to Icahn for getting into Netflix just ahead of the company's savvy Disney deal. CCO Sarandos declined to talk about whether Icahn had any role in Tuesday's Disney deal but said, "this relationship is very new, but it's been very positive."

How to care for your new furry friend
Kittens are the epitome of cute — warm, fuzzy and utterly adorable — but like any other youngster, they have specific needs. Kitten care basics for the average pet owner will begin when the kitten is approximately 8 to 12 weeks old. Humane societies, animal rescues and breeders will not usually release kittens younger than 8 weeks to a new home.
Newborn kittens. If the mother cat is not there to care for the newborn during the first seven to eight weeks, you will need to step in. Newborn kittens must be kept warm and have help with feeding. Consult a trusted veterinarian for the proper way to provide nutrition. A mother cat will groom her babies, stimulating excretion, but if she is not there, you will need to do this. Again, ask your veterinarian to demonstrate the correct way.
Kitten supplies. You will need to have a cat carrier to bring the kitten home from the shelter or breeder. In addition, the kitten will need a collar and identification tags, even she is going to be an indoor kitty. At home, kitten care basics include a litter box, litter, food and water bowls, as well as food and water. Dont forget toys and a scratching post.
Litter box tips. A kitten at age 8 weeks or older will already understand the concept of using a litter box. However, a low-sided litter box may make stepping in and out easier for a kitten. Most cats will adapt to any litter, whether it be clay or clumping. If your kitten has recently been declawed or had any other surgery, avoid clay and clumping litter during recovery time. Opt for a paper litter, which is available at most pet stores.
Kitten nutrition. According to the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, kittens need about three times the calories that an adult cat needs. Kitten formulated food will provide this level of nutrition and should be maintained until the kitten is about 1 year old. Your veterinarian can recommend a trusted brand. Kittens can be fed dry or canned food; however, canned food cannot be left out throughout the day or it will spoil and kitty can become sick. Cats of all ages need to have fresh water available 24 hours a day. Some kittens will prefer drinking from a dish with low sides.
Playtime. Like babies and toddlers, kitten playtime is not only about fun. Play with your kitten several times a day to help stimulate coordination and provide an outlet for energy. Offer appropriate toys, not fingers, as finger-play may encourage nipping. Scratching posts offer a kitten a place to scratch without damaging furniture. Kitten-proof your home like you would for a toddler. Tie up dangling window blind cords, which can be tempting to young kitties. Be sure to put away any chemicals or cleaners that could potentially harm any pet.

Wanted to crowdsource this as best as possible. How many Indians prospects do you actually care about? I usually do a top-50 or even top-60 countdown in March, but do people really read/care about the bottom half of the list? If so, great, I'll keep doing it as I have been. But if not, I can spend more time on a top 20 or 30, and also have time to look more at other things besides the minors in the month or two to follow. If your answer is "none," that's ok too. Just trying to figure out if I'm wasting my time on the back half of the prospect list on something no one cares that much about.
Any/all feedback is appreciated.

The Wisdom of Hippie Dan - Page 3
If someone had asked me at the time what I liked about Dusty, I probably would have shrugged. He was my friend, and that was enough. Now, though, I suspect it was because he embodied the worldview that was pulling at me. I had started delving into existential literature in high school and was continuing in college. Writers like Sartre and Camus described the plight of the outsider who felt like a stranger in an incomprehensible world. Hermann Hesse wrote about the search for the sacred amid chaos and suffering. The existentialists did not believe in living life from the neck up. They challenged me to reject artifice and the expectations of others, to create a meaningful life.
Back then, while my life never strayed from the conventional lines of socially approved behavior, the people I chose to hang out with created their own conventions—people like my uncle, my mom's younger brother, nicknamed "the Communist," who wore a Malcolm X cap, demonstrated to protect the rights of the homeless, slept on the beaches of Hawaii, worked on the Alaska pipeline, and usually had a copy of Mao's Little Red Book in his pocket. And people like Dusty, of course, who now had a puke-green Chevy van emblazoned with a bumper sticker that read: hey, mister, don't laugh, your daughter might be in here.
The most unconventional of all might have been the Minnesotan known as Hippie Dan, a modern Henry David Thoreau.
Dan Proctor was forty-five years old when I met him in 1992 at the co-op where he worked and which he co-owned, the Positively Third Street Bakery. He was 5-foot-10, all legs and long, gangly arms. He wore a T-shirt that said bikes not bombs, partly hidden by a beard that would have looked at home on a Hasid. He moved as if he was dancing at a Grateful Dead concert. His hair was plaited into two braids that hung over each shoulder. He talked fast—about the environment, and wheatgrass juice and whole grains, and living a mindful life. He spoke with a Scandinavian twang, and when he laughed, he sounded like a loon at dusk.
Hippie Dan made Thunder Cookies that were like chocolate chip cookies on steroids, with oatmeal and whole wheat flour and peanut butter and tons of butter. They were the best cookies I had ever tasted. (Rumor has it he once ran a secret bakery in the back of the shop, long since closed, and Dusty and his stoner pals used to sample those goods a lot.)

Skip to comments.Memo justifies drone kills even with patchy intelligence
Posted on 02/05/2013 10:33:59 AM PST by NormsRevenge
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The government has authorized the killing of American citizens as part of its controversial drone campaign against al Qaeda even without intelligence that such Americans are actively plotting to attack a U.S. target, according to a Justice Department memo.
The unclassified memo, first obtained by NBC News, argues that drone strikes are justified under American law if a targeted U.S. citizen had "recently" been involved in "activities" posing a possible threat and provided that there is no evidence suggesting the individual "renounced or abandoned" such activities.
The document was disclosed as a bipartisan group of U.S. senators called on the Obama administration to release to Congress "any and all" legal opinions laying out the government's understanding of what legal powers the president has to deliberately kill American citizens.
The senators who signed the letter, including members of the Senate Intelligence Committee, said the administration's cooperation would "help avoid an unnecessary confrontation that could affect the Senate's consideration of nominees for national security purposes."
Obama has nominated John Brennan, his White House counter terrorism adviser, who defends drone strikes, to lead the CIA.
An Intelligence Committee confirmation hearing on the nomination is scheduled for Thursday, and Brennan is likely to face questioning on drone policy.
(Excerpt) Read more at news.yahoo.com ...
Waco, Ruby Ridge, .. next? (them folks was US citizens too.. case anyone forgot)
Then use a drone strike on Nadil Hasan, that treasonist Islamonazi bastard and those who knew of his communication with Al Qaeda and permitted him to strike anyway.
Any minute now.
1) Registered Republican? If yes, proceed to 2)
2) Gun owner? If yes, proceed to 3)
3) Christian? If yes, proceed to 4)
4) Member of right wing hate site such as Free Republic.com? If yes, proceed to 5)
5) Release of Hellfire authorized. Terminate with prejudice. All other considerations secondary. Family expendable.
It's fun to sit back and push a button to kill someone when you know they can't do anything about it - and you are all safe and snuggly in DC.
Imagine, Gen Fay is still being feted by marxists on college campuses at the same time this sh*t is going on in the Obama administration.
I agree, seen thru the DoJ prism of Corruption&Tyranny , sadly Holder's 'Dark Knights' get a auto-media-pass and a freedom from prosecution, to boot.
Indeed. MSNBC's direct relationship with NBC proper means they will blow FOX out of the water on this story. I expect 24/7 coverage from MSNBC, to the point where they don't even re-run their evening shows.
When war is reduced to nothing more than an impersonal affair, just a game,, it's easy to lose track of who one is and who one then becomes,, my vice is online poker, well, lately anyway.. my joysticks were retired long a go..
Who is the domestic terrorist gonna be? The private gun owner who refuses to relinquish his/her 2A rights or the feral social justice domestic security looter kicking in the front door?
And consider the wider precedent this sets. Most sheeple won't be terribly bothered by this because the whole debate is framed around the concept of a drone-strike, they can't imagine their house or car or place of employment getting flattened by a hellfire missile. But if they can kill you without trial, without warning, without concrete reason, using a drone, they can just as easily justify killing you with a poison dart or a cynanide pill or a bullet to the back of the head on a dark street.
Imagine being targeted by a drone with fully automatic weapons and running to hide from it while a liberal Obama mind controlled nerd laughs his a$$ off hysterically while guiding it using his joystick and sitting at his computer drinking his Monster energy drink and eating Taco Bell.
This is where we're headed if patriots don't rise up. I think many real
patiots would have no problem locating the drone bunkers and gladly "remove" their "pilots" from active duty the old-fasioned American Way if they began targeting civilians
Pretty much removes any doubt of the undeclared war being waged against We the People, don't you think?
No wonder Benghazi was no big deal.
It is part of Obama's job description to kill Americans. Talk about a war on women...
I loved Rush's comment on this just now.
Paraphrasing, he said the Regime's position appears to be that you can kill a suspected terrorist, even an American citizen, without due process, but you can't waterboard him.
That would be inhumane.
Drone bunkers aren't needed to control drones with today's linkage technology. That liberal Obama nerd could be targeting you right now from his ipad while he's sippin' on a double mocha latte at the local Starbucks.
There is no longer any respect for the constitution and the only thing keeping the politicians from using drone strikes on american soil is the prospect of having their necks stretched from a streetlight. Once that fear is gone expect to see them as a common occurrance.
If you read the White Paper it states right up front "in a foreign country". I don't have a problem with that.
If the targeted American is in the hinterlands of Pakistan, I figure he's a terrorist by association. If he's on American soil, that's a whole 'nuther topic.
So what was that argument again about the general citizenry not owning AR-15s?
I suggest then sir, that you NEVER travel abroad if that is your sole criteria. Unfortunately, some of us have to travel abroad occasionally (I was in the UAE earlier this year.) I guess that makes us all targets whenever whomever decides for whatever reason that we are enemies of the state. Cold comfort.
The Patriot Act and the DHS was always meant for right-wingers, Christians, and gun owners. There were people that tried warned about it when Bush started the ball rolling but it was too much fun to get scared of the Al Qaeda boogie man. Now Grandma gets groped at the airport, the local policed have been thoroughly militarized and federalized, every American has their phone calls and email tapped, and Al Qaeda gets money and arms, courtesy of the US taxpayers, to attack sovereign countries that pose no threat to the USA.
There won't be a single drone strike on American soil.
That would be the bridge too far.
If they use drones on American soil, it will be a massive coordinated attack, after which they don't think they'll face any more resistance.
I have to disagree.
There has already been an attack on Americans on American soil with helicopter gunships and tanks.
A drone attack would be much less visable and the media will ignore it.
Drone strikes: Obama moves to block release of files on kill programme (6/2012)
"But if they can kill you without trial,without warning, without concrete reason,using a drone,they can just as easily justify killing you with a poison dart or a cynanide pill or a bullet to the back of the head on a dark street."
That's called an "accident", "natural cause" or "suicide". If it's convenient for the government, it's all just a coincidence, comrade

Yes. However in another era it was said that you can conquer the Empire from horseback, but you cannot rule it from horseback. Sadly it may turn out that Obama's ghost writer's claim that 25 million people have to die for "utopia" to arise may be the river that has to be crossed from conquest to rule.
A State that peacefully secedes is an independent Sovereign and thus a foreign country. Not peaceful for long, I suppose.
It would be the mother of all political river crossings so I believe that 25 million number is a conservative estimate.
Additional millions will be comprised of societies dregs if the crossing is successful.

text: Kenya Airways lead other Companies in planting over 250,000 trees Plant-a-Future initiative now has over 750,000 trees planted since 2007 Kenya Airways, the Pride of Africa lead other corporates and organizations in boosting government efforts to increase the national forest cover by planting a record 250,000 trees at the Ngong Hills forest over the weekend. The trees planted through the "Plant-a-Future" initiative, has seen the Pride of Africa team up with other organisations since 2007, in various environmental activities geared to boost the national forest cover from the current 2% to the targeted 10% as pe the country's development blueprint, Vision 2030. Speaking at this year's tree planting exercise, Kenya Airways Chief Executive Officer Dr. Titus Naikuni noted, that the airline's participation has been fuelled by the commitment to protect the Ngong Hills ecosystem. "This ecosystem is directly within our flight path and that is why we have over the past four years remained firm on our commitment planting trees each year in order to boost the Ngong Hills ecosystem", he added. Naikuni noted that while significant progress was made in the first and second phases of the project, the third phase was affected by the prolonged drought in 2009 that saw many of the seedlings drying up. In 2010 the plant a future initiative focused on replacing the seedlings that were affected by the drought. 90,000 indigenous seedlings were planted as replacements, in a addition to 30,000 seedlings in the surrounding area. "The plan this year is to plant 250,000 indigenous tree seedlings that will also act as replacements for the seedlings that have died over the past few years," he said. Officers from the Kenya Airforce and Kenya Wildlife Services participated in this year's event, held at the onset of the long rains. Other stakeholders involved in this initiative included engine manufacturer Rolls-Royce which has used its "engineering expertise to reduce aircraft fuel burn by 70 per cent and noise by 75 per cent, The Coca-Cola Limited, KLM, the Ministry of Forestry, Kenya Forestry services the University of Nairobi's Forestry Department, Rotaract and the local community. The "Plant-a-Future" initiative was launched in April 2007, and has so far seen over 500,000 indigenous trees planted in the Ngong Hills Forest. This year, a further 250,000 trees have been planted bringing the total to 750,000 trees. The Ngong Forest ecosystem which supports most of the rivers and springs that feed into Nairobi's has suffered extensive damage in the last 12 years compromising the water supply to city residents. Dr. Naikuni further noted that Kenya Airways was committed to supporting initiatives that will ensure the sustainable use of natural resources. The Ngong Hills reforestation program is one of the many initiatives that Kenya Airways is undertaking to reduce its carbon footprint in line with international environmental and aviation standards. This includes the airline's on-going fleet modernisation program that will see the airline phase out older model planes and bring into service modern, fuel efficient carriers. The area where the trees were planted has been reclaimed by the Government of Kenya and gazetted for reforestation as part of rehabilitating a formerly large river catchment area. Only indigenous tree seedlings have been planted in the last four years owing to their unique soil erosion protection abilities. The Ngong Forest catchment area requires 3 million indigenous trees to fully recover.

Slow to pull the trigger
Magpul's hesitation to leave Colorado after legislation rankles some
ERIE — A Colorado gun accessories manufacturer that vowed to leave the state because of a new gun control law is still doing business here six months later, leaving some gun-rights supporters feeling duped.
Magpul announced in April that it had started making certain weapons accessories out of state, but operations continue at the plant. Some comments on the company's Facebook page accuse it of making empty threats.
Magpul said Thursday it still has every intention to fully relocate its operations from Colorado, but moving a company of 250 employees to multiple new locations in multiple states can't be done on the fly, the Boulder Daily Camera reported Friday.
Duane Liptak, director of product management and marketing for Magpul, said the company has moved some of its capacities out of Colorado over the last few months but hasn't yet been able to finalize a relocation plan for its entire operation. Not only are the logistics of moving a challenge, Liptak said, but employees and their families have to be taken into consideration when it comes to locating a new base of operations.
"We have to work through the move with our employees before we make any announcements," he said. "It's a big move, and there's a lot going on."
Liptak said Magpul should be able to shed more light on the location of its new home by the end of the year, or at the latest by the time the Shot Show is held in Las Vegas, starting Jan. 14.
"Rest assured, the move is going to take place, but we have to work through it on our own time," he said.
Some Magpul fans contacted by the newspaper weren't so sure.
"It looks like a marketing ploy," said former customer Steven Power.

smaller tasks are also scheduled to be completed.
Town and Village of Waddington: At Whittaker Park,
rehabilitation of recreation fields, playground and tennis court
fencing, installation of ADA-compliant playground equipment and toilet
facilities, new boat launch with parking and toilet facilities, new
floating dock and other amenities.
At Waddington Town Beach, replace bathhouse,
concession building and picnic shelter with ADA-compliant facilities,
rehabilitate beach with additional sand and replace floating swim
platform and playground. Provide ADA compliant paved access to other
park features and buildings and connection to utilities. Also provide a
new floating dock with provision for future expansion and signage and
other small improvements.
Town of Lisbon improvements include a rehabilitated
boat launch and floating docks, a new floating breakwater, an upgraded
water supply at the original bathhouse and an additional 30 electrified
campsites—including four compliant with ADA—with associated roadways

Missouri man dies in crash in western North Dakota oil patch
WILLISTON, N.D. (AP) — A Missouri man died in a weekend crash in the western North Dakota oil patch.
The Highway Patrol says 25-year-old James Vitale of Springfield, Missouri, died about 8:45 a.m. Saturday when the pickup truck he was driving crossed the center line on state Highway 1804 in the Williston area and struck an oncoming semitrailer.
The driver of the semi wasn't hurt.
The crash shut down the highway for about two hours.

Skip to comments.Horror! White Family Knocked Unconscious at Gas Station for Being in Wrong Neighborhood (Video)
Posted on 05/14/2013 9:28:43 AM PDT by blueyon
If this happened to a black family it would be national news. A white couple and his wife were knocked unconscious for buying gas in the wrong neighborhood at the wrong time.
(Excerpt) Read more at thegatewaypundit.com ...
A white couple ... and his wife ?
The new normal ...
BTW that would get the preps shot in Arizona
Conceal carry should be a right everywhere.
Well, Keisha Henderson, with her $500 welfare braids, said it was a "big thang."
Nothing good happens after dark.
This was Baton Rouge
No mention of the race of the perps...
I'm guessing South Pacific Islander... or Eskimo.
ticketed for assaulting someone? WTF?
and their teenage daughter.
Yes, "when the fight broke out?"
This was no fight, this was an ambush.
Hmm, is holder going to prosecute this as a federal hate crime.... I mean it fits most all of the criteria....
3 perps. 7 round magazine isn't enough.
Had there even been a gun in the car, the wife could have perforated attack #1 and held the other two at bay, unless they desired to be shot as well.
Folks, if you are white, you are the target for violence and the law is not going to go after the perps with any level of enthusiasm if they are black. In this case, attackers #2 and #3 only got tickets. Can anyone imagine this happening with the races reversed and it not making national news for a month?
Anyone here think the national media will pick up this story? or that Hate Crimes charges will be brought against these beasts? OH, that's right!! AG Holder said Civil Rights NO NOT APPLY to White Americans.
Have the thugs been released yet?
Most likely they have — to a heroes welcome in their neighborhood for Standing Up To the Man, who "doesn't belong in THEIR neighborhood!!
They were Amish
Where is Boss Spearman when you need him...
If this had happened to a nice black couple and their daughter in a white neighborhood, Al Sharpton would not be able to run to a microphone fast enough to start screeching "Racism!"
I am really impressed with this 'new style' of writing.
The headline 'says' so much while leaving one's eyeballs aching trying to 'figure' it out.
I, also, love the line about the white couple and his wife.
I also wonder about the statement 'Wrong Neighborhood', I thought in the 'Land of food stamps and free phones', ALL neighborhoods were 'user friendly'.
I would click and read more but really don't think someone should be 'rewarded' for such poor writing, and the way the part that we can 'see' looks, I can't really believe the text could be much worse.
Obama told them to get in our faces. They are doing what their messiah told them to do
Header should have been "Welfare Leeches Beat Up Taxpaying Citizens".
It's a big desert out there ...
The media do this a lot -- call murderous, blind-sided or from-behind assaults "fights."
But only if the assailant are black, Muslim or brown.
If that family doesn't get satisfaction from Louisianna officials they should file for charges through the FBI.What those savages did was a violation of that family's Civil Rights.That's a Felony.
Of course....not a hate crime.
If these black on white attacks continue to increase, and the increase results in whites becoming realistic in matters of race, then they will be worth it. At present only whites are stupid enough to believe that our little "Third World" brothers want to live in peace and harmony. H*ll the lttle black "love brothers" own words should be sufficient to dispel any rose colored haze, however, it does not.
And the media couldn't get it on the air fast enough as breaking news - CNN, MSNBC, etc.
It would pre-empt Benghazi, Gosnell, Cincinnati and the IRS/tea party story.
Yep, be a real shame if some vigilantes started 'posing' as soft targets in these areas.......yep, a real shame.
So Soledad O'Brien is right: race still matters!
Like Booker T Washington said, "There are those who do not want the patient to get well."
the defendant told him he was in the wrong neighborhood and he was not going to make it out.
Good way to get killed.
Maybe Chevron will give them at minimum a free tank of gasoline..
I guess those racists had no business going into the wrong neighborhood.
If Obama had a grown son....
So this man never heard of concealed carry?
Are you unaware of the IRS issue? Or Benghazi? So many inane stories being posted today... Odd.
Glock 32.
All three of these perps have been in trouble with the law. It's outrageous that all three have not been charged. Some people need to rock the police chief's world.
This must be the conversation solidad says whites do not want to have?
Why is the AP reporting that the IRS is in Benghazi?
In the Age of Obama and Holder.
POST OF THE YEAR. It's probably not too far from where this sh!t is headed anyway, so let's give it a nudge. I truly wish someone would hack in and shut the welfare cards off, and let 'em come. Ten days or so of hell is also a chance to thin the damn herd.
I'm absolutely STUNNED that all three of the perps had been in trouble with the law before. I almost fell off my chair when I heard that part! /extreme S
Or in mostly black neighborhoods ever.
I usually despise the "N" word, but in cases of behavior like this it becomes appropriate.
Good guess, kind of!

By: Debbie Davis
"What exercise fits you best?" is a pretty straight forward question with an even more straight forward answer. It's simply the kind of exercises that you like and are more likely to do! The bigger issue here is that our preferred exercise is usually not enough. Our guests at Shane Diet and Fitness Resorts tell us all the time, "I love Zumba but I hate cardio, weights etc." Rarely do they incorporate strength training, stretching and cardio into what would be a more balanced, effective workout regime.
The exercise that fits you best is clearly the exercise you will do. If you enjoy it, you're more inclined to do it with more consistency. But the key point to remember is to make sure you are including a balance of all exercises. You may never love stretching but it is imperative for overall performance that you stretch your muscles. You may never run a 10K, but cardio training is critical for your overall heart and lung health. Many won't be entering Strong Man competitions, but strength training is critical for bone and muscle preservation, which additionally benefits your quality of life as you age.
So, by all means begin with the exercise you most enjoy doing, take that exercise and excel, practice, train and challenge yourself. Then take the forms of the exercise that are not your favorite and implement them into your routine in an effective way. If cardio is your thing and you perform cardio 5 days a week, consider taking that to 4 days a week and adding 2 days of strength training (one of which can be included on a cardio day). Another idea is possibly taking two days a week to perform a High Intensity Interval Training (HIIT) workout which has a cardio component as well as a strength training component. Stretching for better range of motion and flexibility should be included in your daily workout routine. As a personal trainer for over 15 years, I understand loving some forms of exercise and hating others. I would like to challenge you, though, to continue to excel at what you enjoy but to also consider taking your challenge one step further and adding what you're not so comfortable with for better overall physical health. Your body will thank you!
Below is a link to a fun quiz that reveals your exercise personality type, it takes 1 minute. See how accurate it is for yourself and then post it on our Facebook page. Happy Fitness!

Alpena boys fall to Cadillac
CADILLAC-The Alpena boys basketball team travelled to Cadillac on Friday and struggled to mount successful offensive pressure in a 57-50 loss.

Onaway 80, Pellston 57
PELLSTON-The Onaway boys basketball team travelled to Pellston on Friday and overcame a slow start to beat Pellston 80-57.

The first quarter saw Onaway up 16-13 while the Cardinals ended the half ahead 38-30. Pellston narrowed the lead by one with a 51-44 spread in the third quarter while Onaway pulled ahead in the fourth to take a 23 point lead for the win.

Alcona's JV team also won.
Girls Basketball
Fairview 37, Mio 32
FAIRVIEW-The Fairview girls basketball team staged a come-from-behind victory against Mio on Friday to win a hard defensive battle, 37-32.
"We were down by at one point but we put on the press which gave Mio a lot of pressure. It helped us take the lead and keep it in what was a pretty back and forth game," Fairview's head coach Marc Winton said.
Fairview was down 5-4 at the end of the first quarter and 17-12 at the end of the half. Fairview outscored Mio 15-9 in the third to take a tight 27-26 lead at the end of the third. They out scored Mio by four to take a five point spread for the victory.
The top scorers for Fairview was Logan Winton with 14 points while Mio's Shelby Satkowiak scored 15 and Taylor Blamer scored 12 points.
This victory puts Fairview at 3-6 overall and 3-4 in the North Star League. The Eagles travel to Alcona on Monday.
Onaway 41, Bellaire 34
ONAWAY-The Onaway girls basketball team rallied from a 12-point deficit in the third quarter to pick up its sixth straight victory on Friday, beating Bellaire 41-34 at home.
Onaway (8-2 overall, 6-2 Ski Valley) trailed 11-9 at halftime and 25-21 after three quarters, but rallied in the final period, outscoring the Eagles 20-9.
"One thing the girls did very well was that they never stopped playing defense," Onaway coach Marty Mix said, noting that the Cardinals overcame some poor shooting in the first half, going 2-of-12 at the free-throw line ."Both teams are really good and this was a tremendous win for us."
Onaway rallied from an eight-point hole in the final minutes with a 10-2 run to take the game.
Mariah Ehrke and Temara Lupu led Onaway with eight points each and Erika Price added seven.
The Cardinals host Wolverine on Monday.

The heart is one part of your body that pumps blood relentlessly; to be grateful to the most important organ, it's your duty to look after its health. Cardiovascular diseases and heart ailments can be prevented by making minor changes in your lifestyle.
Here are a few tips to keep your heart healthy:
- Add fiber to your diet: Making fiber a part of your regular diet is a great idea as the heart works best when it runs on natural fuel. You can achieve this by adding more raw fruits and vegetables in your meals as they are an excellent source of fiber and nutrients.
- Engage in physical activity: Your heart is a muscle and to make it healthier, you need some form of physical exercise. Engaging in cardiovascular forms of exercise for an hour daily keeps your heart in good condition. Engaging in physical activity also reduces the risk of getting a heart disease and acts as a stress buster.
- Cut down on the salt intake: The sodium content in salt disrupts the balance of fluids in your body leading to high blood pressure. This can affect the functioning of the heart; that is to pump blood, which is a major cause of a heart attack. So, cutting down on salt can reduce stress and the risks of heart attacks.
- Manage your weight: People on the overweight side run a risk of getting heart diseases more often than fit and leaner ones as they tend to be more inactive and sluggish. The heart diseases caused due to obesity can be avoided by making minor changes to your diet and exercising on a daily basis.
- Quit smoking: If you are a regular smoker, quitting is the best thing you can do for your heart. The main reason for coronary heart diseases is nicotine present in the cigarette. Once, you quit smoking completely, you will be 50% less likely to run the risks of a heart attack as compared to a regular smoker. If you wish to discuss about any specific problem, you can consult a dietitian-nutritionist and ask a free question.
Pulmonary hypertension is a medical condition that arises when the blood pressure remains consistently high in the vessels of the lungs. This condition can develop from a completely unrelated medical condition and is more prevalent among women.
Pulmonary Hypertension can be a hard disease to diagnose. While it has no permanent cure, the medication depends on how far the disease has advanced. From group 1 PAH to group 5 PAH, pulmonary hypertension has 5 stages of advancement.
Here is a list of 10 ways by which this disease can be kept under control along with the prescribed medication:
- Quit smoking: Smoking aggravates pulmonary hypertension. It has adverse effects on both the heart and the lung. It is therefore of utmost importance to quit smoking. If you fail to control your urge of smoking, contact your doctor who can suggest a quitting plan.
- Avoid high altitude: Patients suffering from pulmonary hypertension should avoid flying and living at high altitude. An altitude of 8000 feet and above can worsen the symptoms. It is therefore suggested that you do not take flights for travelling or come down below the altitude of 2428 meters if you are living in hilly areas.
- A healthy diet: A healthy diet consisting of fresh fruit and vegetables, lean meat and whole grains should be consumed on a daily basis. A nutritious diet goes a long way in keeping pulmonary hypertension in check.
- Adequate rest: A minimum of 8 hours of sleep is recommended for patients suffering from pulmonary hypertension. A good night's sleep and frequent naps keeps fatigue at bay.
- Pregnancy and birth control pills: Avoiding pregnancy is a must for patients suffering from this disease. Pregnancy can be life threatening for the both the baby and the mother. Birth control pills should be avoided as well. It greatly increases the chance of blood clots.
- Maintain a steady blood pressure: Any activities that lower the blood pressure should be avoided by all means. Spending too much time in a bathtub or prolonged stress increases the chances fainting.
- Become more active: Patients of pulmonary hypertension often run out of breath with little to no activity. While activities such as weight lifting should be strictly avoided, some exercise or daily jogging can fetch good result in keeping a patient healthy.
- Get vaccine on time: Doctors often suggest vaccines if the patient suffers from pneumonia or influenza. It should be ensured that such vaccines are taken on time. For patients suffering from pulmonary hypertension, prolonged exposure to diseases such as pneumonia can wreak havoc.
- Regular checkup: Regular follow up with the doctor is of prime importance. Any possible side effects or deterioration can be arrested with constant supervision.
- On time medication: Patients of pulmonary hypertension should ensure that all the medicines suggested by the doctor are taken at regular intervals as per prescribed dosage.

Wildcats aiming to play spoiler vs. Petoskey
The Alpena football team has had a rough couple of weeks, dropping games to Cheboygan and Traverse City Central and scoring only one touchdown in the process.
Tonight is a good chance to turn that streak of bad luck around against Petoskey at 7 p.m. at Petoskey High School.
The Northmen (4-3) have a solid roster of players, but are just a game over .500. The Wildcats, in spite of some tough play, are 1-6 on the season.
What can the Wildcats do to help turn the tide against Petoskey?
"Petoskey likes to run the ball a lot, similar to Cheboygan's offense. They like to run it down your throat and win the battle up front. If we can win the battle up front, hopefully we can have our linebackers fill and get to the spots (defensively) to make plays," Alpena quarterback Tyler Pintar said.
Petoskey is a heavy running team with three backs making up most of its yardage. These backs are senior Chase Ledingham, junior Kurt Boucher and sophomore Nick Mesnard.
The Northmen often rely on blocking fullback Connor Reed to protect quarterback Evan Whitmore.
Shutting down these runners will be key for Alpena's defense.
"If we can make our reads and fill our gaps, we should be able to contain the inside. Shutting them down on the inside forces them to go outside (the line) and our linebackers will be able to shut them down there," linebacker Brad Styma said.
Offensively, the Wildcats will need Pintar to be on the top of his game and work well with receivers like Josh Bell and Kaleb Smith. If the Wildcats can go to the air successfully against the groundbound Northmen, it might be able to throw Petoskey for a loop.
If Alpena can dazzle the Northmen through the air, it might open up the running game for running back Jordan Ferguson.
"Offensively, we're gonna go for a lot of outside passes. That'll force the linebacker to go after receivers and since they play man-to-man, it should open up some gaps for our running game," Ferguson said.
A win against Petoskey would make Alpena a spoiler of sorts. A loss would push the Northmen to 4-4 and force them to win their season finale against Ogemaw Heights in order to have a shot at the playoffs.
It would also set up the potential for a 3-6 season for the Wildcats, were they to beat Gaylord in the last week of regular season play. A 3-6 record would be Alpena's best showing since 2010.

But if we play like this again it wont matter. Still in the hunt tho. Hopefully we get our act together.
But if we play like this again it wont matter. Still in the hunt tho. Hopefully we get our act together.
We have become dependent, can't make it on our own, like we're on football welfare. Not impressive at this point.
just another wasted opportunity in a year of wasted opportunities. we're not out of it and if we're dancing in january with the experience on this team they could make a run - but dang if they're not on a mission to make this one of the most frustrating years in steelers history.
Forget Baltimore and Cincinnati. Realistically this team needs to win out. They've lost 3 of their last 4 and played like dogs today. Start with Dallas next week and go from there.
So far this years team has proven to be just average... An elite team doesn't lay this many eggs in one season. This team obviously still has a lot of holes and no identity. Steelers were flat as a pancake today, not what you'd expect from a team that controlled its own destiny. They got physically beat on both sides of the ball. Embarrassing...
