Ashland Man Settles In Heckling Suit
A settlement has been reached in a lawsuit filed by an activist who says she was assaulted by an Oregon man while protesting. The Ashland Daily Tidings reports that 73-year-old Stanley Shulster agreed to apologize to 29-year-old Rachel Abileah and pay her an undisclosed amount of money.
Abileah staged an interruption during a May 2011 speech by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in the U.S. House of Representatives. Abileah alleged that she suffered an injured neck when Shulster pulled her down during the brief protest.
Shulster, who lives in Ashland, is a lobbyist for the American Israel Public Affairs Committee.

Waiting for Irene
Today is still bright and clear but I'll be bringing in the bird feeders tonight, preparing for the storm. One friend who was visiting left this morning instead of tomorrow, fearing she wouldn't be able to get out...and she has tickets to the US Open on Tuesday. My other guest is still here...he has a flight out late in the day Monday so shuld be okay.
We will likely lose power so are well-stocked with alternative lighting, water stored for when the pump goes off, etc. But I don't anticipate huge problems here in Maine.
I went out and picked apples...the trees are well laden this year...and then sent this photo to my brother, titled "Pie tonight"
In reply his wife sent this, titled "cake tonight"

Artale,I'm glad to see that everything worked out for you. I was wondering how you got everything into your machine. From your recipe I calculate a total dough ball weight of almost 40 oz., or about 2 1/2 pounds. In some respects the large volume may have been good, because the machine would be less likely to put out as much frictional heat when it is kneading that much dough. I also like your idea of keeping the lid open so that the heat of kneading can escape. I would never had thought to do that, but it helps keep the dough temperature down. Since you used a pan instead of baking on a stone, how did the finished pizza compare with a typical NY style pizza? I assume your pan was a big one to be able to handle a roughly 2 1/2 pound pizza with toppings, unless, of course, it was more along the Sicilian style.Peter
Artale,Any photos? I'm dying to know what your crust rim looked like. I use a bread maker almost exclusively and I fear it has been effecting the crust causing it to have a tight cell structure and small voids. It's driving me nuts -PizzaBill

Melrose sweeps past Dora
October 19, 2005
DORA — Melrose wanted to be less afraid to make mistakes. Dora made enough errors on its own to ensure that Melrose's errors didn't matter.
The visiting Lady Buffs were far from perfect, but jumped out to big leads and rode them to an easy 25-16, 25-15, 25-16 win Tuesday night at Dora.
The match pitted two teams separated by one position in the upcoming District 3-1A tournament — Melrose in fourth and Dora in fifth — but the evening played out like a mismatch as Melrose (11-8, 3-4) jumped out to a 7-1 lead in the first game and an 11-4 advantage in the second.
"We just didn't get anything going tonight," Dora coach Myra Skinner said after the match. "We never got off on the right foot and we made a lot of unforced errors."
Melrose made plenty of errors as well, but got a balanced effort from the offensive front line of Toni Burdine, Zanessa Dodd and Tuniel Roberts and sent Dora to its seventh loss in as many district matches.
The Lady Buffs lost in the same manner against Floyd Thursday by falling into early deficits, and Melrose coach Jason Lee thought the early starts helped calm the players down.
"If you can get momentum early and the confidence grows," Lee said, "you don't dwell on your mistakes as much."
Both teams had small mistakes on passes and serves, but Melrose was never seriously threatened and all but shut the door on Dora with a 7-1 run in the third game to take an 18-10 lead.
Each team still has one match left in district play. Dora visits Elida Thursday, while Melrose faces Fort Sumner.

Exxon Tries to Pull a Fast OneFriday, February 8th, 2008
|Posted by David Gordon
A number of our partners on Sakhalin have launched efforts to get Exxon to re-route a pipeline around Piltun Lagoon and away from reindeer breeding grounds. Click here to read about our visit to the reindeer herders last fall.
In December, the reindeer herders joined together with environmental and indigenous groups to send a letter to Exxon and to Russian state agencies to ask for the pipeline to be rerouted. After all, there are strong biodiversity reasons for this: Piltun Lagoon is the source of the rich benthos that feeds critically endangered Western Gray Whales off the coast of Sakhalin and is habitat for rich fisheries that feed native peoples. Exxon's on-shore construction has already impacted reindeer breeding grounds, and construction of a pipeline through the reindeer breeding grounds will likely doom this native tradition that is struggling to survive.
Exxon, though, has other ideas. Without informing leaders in the indigenous or environmental communities, Exxon secretly brought together many of the reindeer herders for a meeting. The herders were confused and asked where were the leaders and why weren't they at the meeting? Exxon simply said the leaders couldn't attend, even though these people had not been informed. The reindeer herders, under the influence of alcohol, signed a statement allowing Exxon to build the pipeline.
Exxon learned from the "divide and conquer" strategies used to subjugate indigenous cultures in the 19th century. Too bad they're still using these tactics.
Thankfully, the herders themselves said that this meeting with Exxon was improper, and now even Exxon has agreed to a meeting that will bring all the stakeholders together. After all, this decision is not that difficult. All the reindeer herders want is a common-sense decision to re-route the pipeline so that it will avoid Piltun Lagoon and reindeer breeding grounds. Certainly Exxon, with its record-breaking profits, can see the wisdom in this?

The UTMB Fun Run - Page 8
In the pre-dawn hours on Sunday morning, 33 hours following the start of the original race, the 297th finisher—a middle-aged Frenchman—shuffled towards the finish line. His body betrayed a face that looked as though it could handle no more. The colorful clothing that had announced his presence a day and a half prior was now muted by mud, sweat and blood.
Around the Place du Triangle de l'Amitié the speakers blaring AC/DC switched over to the very dramatic Conquest of Paradise by Vangelis, just as it had done for the previous 296 finishers. What appeared to be the Frenchman's two children joined him for the few final feet before the finish line and tears welled up in his eyes. Poletti welcomed him with a hug and kisses on both cheeks as a photographer snapped a finishing photo that would be available for purchase in a couple days' time.
Although UTMB organizers unabashedly crowned Brits Bragg and Hawker the 2010 UTMB champions, most runners believe no one can truly claim a title. Attention turns toward the race's production, with questions and debate that extend beyond the 2010 UTMB. What obligation does (or should) a race organization hold to the athlete given the athlete's investment into the event? Will the UTMB have a back-up plan in 2011? And, if so, is that not an admission of guilt for not having one before?
As the debate continues and race organizers evaluate their responsibilities, one thing is certain: a cancelled race leaves scores unsettled.
"I feel like I have unfinished business now," says Wolfe. "I want to race the full course, and against a full field of the top racers."
As for Jurek, the UTMB trophy is perhaps the only one missing in his prolific collection. "I was in the best shape I have been in for the UTMB and once again this race has alluded me," he says. "Yes, I will definitely go back."

Rumblings xtra: Items that didn't make print edition
The Columbus Dispatch - November 23, 2012 09:35 AM
Carson Palmer was a little more direct with the Oakland news media than with the Cincinnati media about why he decided to leave the Bengals this week, but the Raiders quarterback still offered few details.
"I think that anybody that's ever played for that ownership knows what I was doing and why I was doing it," Palmer said, as reported by the San Jose Mercury-News.
With Oakland visiting Cincinnati, this is an obvious story line. The Bengals got a first-round draft pick in 2012 and a conditional selection that turned out to be a second-round pick in 2013 after Palmer refused to play for them.
"Just a culmination of things," Palmer told the Cincinnati media.. "Some things that I had learned that ownership -- just some things that built up over time, and it was just time for a change."
With the Raiders at 3-7 this year, Palmer still says that he has "no regrets."
Nick Swisher, the former Yankees slugger and Ohio State player who has entered free agency, is receiving interest from the rival Red Sox according to the New York Post.
"He is on their radar," a person with knowledge of the situation told the newspaper.
Swisher, 32, batted .272 with 24 homers and 93 RBIs, his most in his four years as a Yankee, last season and has value as a switch-hitter who can play a corner spot in the outfield and infield. An industry source told the newspaper that Swisher could get a four-year deal for $60 million. Because the Yankees are locked into a $189 million payroll for the 2014 season, they aren't interested in signing him for more than one year.
Being named the starting quarterback of the 1-9 Kansas City Chiefs may not seem like much of a prize, but Brady Quinn disputes that. The Dublin native and former Browns first round draft pick told reporters after he relieved Matt Cassel at halftime of the team's 28-6 loss to the Bengals last Sunday that he appreciates the opportunity.
"Look, I feel like I'm one of the most privileged people in the world,'' Quinn said. "I'm very blessed to have the opportunity to do what I do. (Playing in) the National Football League is a dream, really. It's not only changed my life, it's changed my family's life forever.
"I don't care what team you're on or what your record is, it's without a doubt the best job you could ever have. I don't care what the circumstances may sound like or look like to everyone else. I love what I do, and I love the game of football and I also will love being under center and going back there and slinging the ball around.''
The Chiefs haven't scored more than 16 points in a game since September.

Jobs to Michigan
The poster child in Michigan that has controlled Michigan labor is nothing more than a paper dragon at best. Organized labor in Michigan has finally been given the blow that they rightfully deserved for the last 77 years, and they have been told to go to the back of the bus.
Their services are no longer desired in Michigan. Michigan Legislators made it clear that they are working for "We the People" and not the sinister and aggressive threats that have been demonstrated by union thugs and gangs in Lansing.
To see the video go to: www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=u_F3oev06i0.
Michigan, the birth place of the United Auto Workers, has been a political and ruthless monkey on the backs of the big three auto manufactures in downstate Michigan for seven decades.
November 6, 2012 was the presiding vote by "We the People." Proposal
12-2, a proposal to amend the state constitution regarding collective bargaining, was the shot that was heard around the state of Michigan; the people have finally had enough of union insubordination and their unruly demands. The echoing sounds you hear in the background are other states in the union telling the unions to get lost.
U.S. Senator Carl Levin and other Democrats that come to Michigan's Upper Peninsula once every 6 years, met with Rick Snyder on Monday (12/10/12) and urged him to slow things downs. Could one theorize he would be implying Snyder to back off?
According to Levin: "Michigan Right to Work" It's an assault on their rights to have elected bargaining agents negotiate their pay, benefits and working condition, and to have all who benefit from such negotiations share in some way in the cost of obtaining them.
Let's talk about an assault on our rights, let talk about a bill that was shoved down our throats in 2010. This bill was known as the "Affordable Health Care Bill."
Do you remember the creature from Jackal Island once house speaker (Nancy Pelosi) screaming at the top of her lungs, (now dethroned by John Boehner), don't worry what's in the bill we have to pass it first, and then we can read it later. What?
December 11, 2012 marked a great victory for the people of Michigan. The constitutional of the United States is alive and well. "This is about freedom, fairness equality," House Speaker Jase Bolger said during floor debate. These are basic American rights – rights that should unite us."
Michigan will now join 23 other states with the right-to-work laws, which ban requirement that nonunion employees pay unions for negotiating contracts and other services.
After the vote he (Bolger) said, Michigan's future "has never been brighter, because workers are free." Free from what you may ask? Free from union dues that go to powerful union bosses. Freedom that will stop financing the Democrat Party and the likes of Barrack Hussein Obama; whose agenda is to unionize every living thing in the name of the union (Marxism).
Two members of the Michigan Legislature; Tom Casperson from Escanaba and Ed McBroom of Vulcan has been promoted to the Rhino club on 12/11/12. This is an elite group of Republicans that have caved into Democratic philosophy.
McBroom and Casperson cast a no vote for "Michigan Right to Work." It's obvious that Casperson and McBroom have the union's interest at heart and to heck with the 95 percent of us that are non-union. After all, 2014 is not that far off and they need votes (union votes) to get back in. They will not be getting my vote.
I have been a union paying member for years and I'm sick and tired of seeing my union dues going to the likes of Barrack Obama and the Democrat Party that has been destroying my freedom of religion, my free speech, and my Second Amendment rights.
A U.N. treaty on small arms is scheduled this March 2013. This arms treaty is nothing short of arms control on the semi-auto rifles. If this tyrannical movement ignites, it will spark a new civil war that will give the arms race a new meaning to the Second Amendment.
One thing is certain; unions are fading off faster than the dinosaur. Their presence has divided this nation into the haves and have-nots. The union is on a collision course of change that will ultimately eliminate their purpose once and for all.
All that will remain are the skeletons of a dying movement that once controlled our politicians and its union paying membership. The movement will go to the grave with Jimmy Hoffa, as historians will recall.
This shift in policy will bring companies and jobs to Michigan that was once the thriving engine to Michigan's prosperity and affluence to this great state known as "Pure Michigan."

Another horrific injury in a hockey game. Touch icing directly attributed to it, creating yet another discussion on if no touch icing should be implemented.
Playing in rec leagues, there's no touch icing. I can't say I would be in favor of it in the NHL, despite injuries like this one and the one to Marco Sturm two years ago.

They don't forget how one of Stern's top public-relations officials went out of her way to try to dissuade an NBA team owner from hiring a well-regarded Spurs executive as general manager. And they don't forget that once that executive got the job, she went out of her way to try to undermine his operation.
'Well-regarded Spurs executive' doesn't ring any bells around here, does it?

JBS lagoon on fire
Bobcats look to get on track in front of home fans
The Bobcats are coming home. And after what happened in the first two games in 2013, that could give the Marshalltown football team a big opportunity to get things turned around.
A struggling opponent also doesn't hurt.
The Bobcats (0-2) welcome the 0-2 Fort Dodge Dodgers on Friday as both teams try to earn their first win of the new season.
"Fort Dodge has played an extremely tough schedule, so their record is not indicative of how good they really are," Marshalltown coach Aaron Shipley said. "They are always a hard-nosed team that won't beat themselves."
The Dodgers dropped their opener on the road to No. 4 Urbandale, 63-21, and are coming off a 44-7 loss to Sioux City East, a squad that is receiving votes in the latest Associated Press poll. The Bobcats' two losses also have come to state-ranked opponents.
"Playing on the road against good teams with an inexperienced team was a tall task for our football team," Shipley said. "But the good news is that they now are a little more seasoned. We'll play a game that is supposed to be competitive and we'll be able to stay in our comfort zone."
Marshallown will welcome back one of its starting wideouts this week. Junior Austin Kluver will see his first snaps of the year after battling through a hip injury. But senior Marco Tapia (MCL sprain) is expected to miss Friday's home opener. Back-up running back Jordan Banes is a game-time decision.
In other injury-related news, backup linebacker Paden Himes will miss around 4-6 weeks after suffering a broken leg in the junior varsity game Monday. Himes had played a significant role on special teams through the first two games.
Fort Dodge comes into Friday night having scored just 28 points in its first two games. The Dodger offense is led by quarterback Andrew Stover, running back Sam Cook and wide receiver Spencer Barberg.
Stover, a senior signal caller, has thrown for 256 yards, two touchdowns and two interceptions and is completing less than 50 percent of his passes. Cook, a sophomore tailback, is a 195-pounder who has gained 271 yards and one touchdown on 38 carries this season. Barber, a junior, has six catches for 93 yards and a score.
"We have to be aware of what is going on because Fort Dodge will spread us out and throw it all over the field with Stover and then move everything in tight and run Cook right at us," Shipley said. "We are going to have to be prepared for several situations."
The Fort Dodge defense is similar to Pella's in that it looks to confuse opposing offenses by attacking from different angles. Sophomore Kole Kampen and junior Austin Halligan lead the defense with 18 and 17 tackles, respectively.
As far as the Bobcats go, the coaching staff tried to keep the offense simple in the first two games because of all the inexperience. Shipley though says as soon as the players get a grasp of what is going on, offensive coordinator Adam Hoop will be given free reign to open things up.
"I am excited to see things get more creative," Shipley said. "Coach Hoop has some things up his sleeve when the time is right. We need to figure out how to get (Dylan) Diveney out in space."
Diveney enters the game as the team's leading rusher but has just 48 yards on 17 carries. He also is completing 50 percent of his passes for 243 yards and a score. Austin Lovin and Austin Sowers both have eight catches. Lovin leads the team with 86 receiving yards.
Senior linebacker Derek Mann is well out in front as far as tackles go. He leads the Bobcats in that category with 19.
Overall, the newly installed 3-4 defense is coming along, and Shipley said things get better every day.
"It is a new system so the guys are having to learn on the fly," Shipley said. "We are getting better, but we haven't shown the ability to wrap up and tackle ball carriers yet. The 3-4 gives us the best chance to win, but we are going to have to wrap up Cook.
"We had two interceptions last week and were in the right spots to make plays. We just have to do a much better job of tackling."
The game will kick off at 7 p.m. from Leonard Cole Field. Marshalltown leads the all-time series 25-19-1. The Bobcats beat the Dodgers 52-15 last year in Fort Dodge.
The players of the week for the Bobcats' most recent game with Waukee include Joe Rebik (offense), Jordan Paone (defense) and Owen Spencer (scout team). Rebik rushed for 37 yards and scored the team's only touchdown against the Warriors on Friday, while Paone snatched his first interception of the season on defense.

Tough Times for the Religious Right
It may be the worst of times for Christian right groups -- which could be good news for Jewish leaders.
The Christian Coalition, once a surging force in state and national politics, is in disarray, and a leadership vacuum threatens the group's hard-won gains. In the 106th Congress, there's clear evidence of slippage, and the candidates who have targeted conservative Christian voters in the race for the 2000 Republican presidential nomination can't seem to climb out of the single digits.
But while the religious right is down, it's not out, warn political scientists and political activists alike. The setbacks of the past two years could turn 2000 into a make-or-break year for the movement. Already, there are indications that leaders of major groups are planning to go all out next year to reverse their slide.
There has been an unremitting stream of bad news for this righteous army -- self-righteous, critics contend. It lost big last year when Congress failed to pass a school-prayer constitutional amendment, a top priority for the Christian Coalition and others.
Religious conservatives tied up funding for the United Nations and the International Monetary Fund by attaching anti-abortion language to appropriations bills, but they were surprisingly unsuccessful in passing legislation to curb abortion here.
School vouchers, a goal they share with some Orthodox Jewish groups, edged forward slightly, but the major strides that religious leaders and their congressional flock expected failed to materialize.
Republicans lost ground in last year's congressional elections, in part because of a widespread backlash against the most extreme elements of the Christian right and their friends in the Republican leadership. The November debacle triggered this year's wave of change in the GOP, including the rising influence of a cadre of pragmatic Republican governors interested less in political sermonizing than in governing.
The shift is also reflected in the early handicapping of the 2000 presidential nomination battle.
Texas Gov. George W. Bush, conservative but also pragmatic, is a clear front-runner; Sen. John Ashcroft, R- Mo., the early favorite of many Christian right leaders, dropped out months ago. Other candidates with strong support in that political sector, including columnist Pat Buchanan, Family Research Council director Gary Bauer, magazine magnate Steve Forbes and former Vice President Dan Quayle are stuck at the bottom of the opinion surveys -- way at the bottom.
The failure of the effort to impeach President Clinton was so demoralizing that Free Congress Foundation President Paul Weyrich urged followers to drop out of politics entirely and focus instead on building their communities from within.
John Green, a University of Akron political scientist who studies the religious right, said: "There is a strong sense of disarray within the movement. We see it in the internal problems the Christian Coalition is facing and in the increasing conflict among groups."
The Christian right has been hurt by the absence of strong leaders capable of uniting feuding groups and extending the movement's appeal, he said, and by the failure to distinguish between the legitimate social critics in the religious right ranks and the outright zanies.
But it would be a mistake to write these groups off, Green warned.
"I don't think the game is over, but it could be after 2000," he said. "Many of the activists really believe that will be the make-or-break year. They're willing to give the strategy they've been following for two decades one more chance."
If the Republicans lose Congress and fail to gain control of the White House next year, he said, "many in the movement will probably decide to follow Weyrich's advice and go back to saving souls instead of playing politics."
But he pointed to last week's announcement that the Christian Coalition will spend an unprecedented $21 million on the 2000 elections and distribute 75 million voters guides as evidence that key leaders do not intend to go down without a fight.
"Weyrich is saying it's time to drop out, but Robertson is saying, we're having a bad year, so let's dig in and do better," he said.
The Christian Coalition and other groups remain strong in many state capitals, where their grass-roots networks have focused more on nitty-gritty issues such as education policy and taxes, and they still have a strong fund-raising base.
In Congress, Green said, the reduced Republican margin and the fear of a voter backlash make it even less likely the religious conservatives will pass some of the key items on their legislative agenda.
"The [congressional] leadership is very intent on showing they can produce things that voters want -- which means staying away from the divisive social issues," he said.
But Jewish activists say even a fragmented, battered Christian right could cook up some Capitol Hill surprises this year, especially if they limit themselves to smaller initiatives.
"We shouldn't forget that they continue to have attentive audiences in the top House and Senate leaders," said David Harris, Washington representative for the American Jewish Congress. "When you start to look away, that's the moment they become the most dangerous."
The Visitor
Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat is due in town next week for critical discussions on Palestinian statehood. As usual, his arrival will touch off fierce debate in the Jewish world and rhetorical barrages from Capitol Hill.
Washington sources say a deal is in the works to defer a unilateral statehood declaration on May 4, when the Oslo interim period expires. Arafat will reportedly settle for a U.S. promise to press hard for implementation of October's Wye River agreement and for accelerated final-status talks -- but only after the May 17 elections in Israel and the creation of a new government.
There will be no concrete U.S. promise to support statehood at a later date, sources here say.
The Resolution
In the midst of the complex statehood negotiations, Congress was busy fast-tracking a resolution that restates long-standing U.S. policy which opposes a unilateral declaration. The nonbinding measure passed the Senate by a 98-1 vote last week; House passage was expected early this week. The American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC) termed passage a "great victory," and said that it would reinforce "the most fundamental principle of the peace process -- that peace must be achieved through direct negotiations, not unilateral actions," according to executive director Howard Kohr.
But pro-peace-process activists termed the resolution a pre-emptive strike aimed at crippling the administration's ability to mediate.
"There's nothing new about such one-sided rhetoric," said Thomas Smerling, Washington director for the Israel Policy Forum, a pro-peace-process group. "The only new thing is the attempt to sell it as crucial for the peace process."
Critics of the congressional action pointed out that even though the resolution condemned only a unilateral declaration, numerous newspaper and wire-service stories ran headlines that suggested that lawmakers had shut the door on any process which would result in Palestinian statehood.
In the Zone
Natan Sharansky, Israel's Trade and Industry minister, came to Washington this week with a overloaded to-do list. Right at the top: the announcement of a second duty-free trade zone along the border between Israel and Jordan. That means that goods manufactured in the Gateway Industrial Park, one of the tangible benefits of the 1994 Israel-Jordan peace treaty, can enter this country duty-free.
The first "Qualifying Industrial Zone," in Irbid, Jordan, "now includes more than 50 factories, including a textile factory with a direct American stake," said U.S. Trade Representative Charlene Barshefsky at Monday's signing.
Sharansky also inked an agreement to expand cooperation between the two countries in the fight against price-fixing and other illegal trade practices.
That's a particularly sensitive area because of growing conflict over charges the Israeli government has not done enough to stop compact disk and software piracy.
Facing Off
Russian Prime Minister Yevgeny Primakov is due in Washington next week for a round of meetings, and he'll be greeted by Jewish groups upset about resurgent anti-Semitism in his country.
During his visit this week, Sharansky, a former prisoner of conscience, urged stronger American action in response to resurgent anti-Semitism in Russia.
That plea will be reinforced by a number of Jewish groups. On Thursday, a delegation of Jewish officials, led by the National Conference on Soviet Jewry and the Conference of Presidents of Major American Jewish Organizations, were to meet with the Russian leader.
"We plan to raise all of the relevant issues, from the rise in anti-Semitism to the ongoing problems of the transfer of military technology to Iran," said Mark Levin, NCSJ's executive director.
Quayle's Obstacle
Former Vice President Dan Quayle is hot on the trail of the 2000 Republican presidential nomination, and lining up Jewish support and Jewish money is part of his early strategy.
But that could be difficult after this week's announcement of the co-chairs of his campaign organization. Leading the list: John Sununu, White House chief of staff under President Bush. During the Bush administration, Sununu, an Arab-American, was regarded in pro-Israel circles as a major opponent of their agenda.
As governor of New Hampshire, Sununu was the only state chief executive who refused to sign a proclamation that called for repeal of the United Nations' "Zionism as racism" resolution.
The other top co-chair is Sen. Spencer Abraham, R-Mich., also an Arab-American. In contrast, Abraham has been helpful to Jewish groups and is regarded as a strong supporter of Israel.
Another top member of the Quayle team: Gov. Kirk Fordice of Mississippi. Fordice, you may recall, ran afoul of Jewish groups in 1992, when he stated flatly that the United States is a Christian nation, just as Israel is a Jewish state.
When fellow Republican governors tried to temper his statement by talking about Judeo-Christian values, Fordice reportedly bristled, telling the Washington Times, "If I wanted to do that, I would have done it."
Fordice, along with several GOP congressional leaders, has also been linked to the Council of Concerned Citizens, described by critics as a white supremacist group.

In Search Of The La Crosse Girl Choir
LA CROSSE, Wis. - The La Crosse girl choir is putting the finishing touches on their upcoming concert this weekend. And it's a big one.
It's now been 25 years since the debut of this organization. "So for 25 years we've been rehearsing and educating girls about music," says director Shealan Bahn.
Yes, their main focus is music - but it's really about so much more than that. "Our mission statement is that we are dedicated to the social, character and musical developments of girls. The social aspect for girls is huge. They're all from different schools. They make life long friends. It's incredible."105464
7 year member Katie Heilman has come a long way from the terrified 6-year-old that started with the group. "I was too scared to sing on stage so I sang in the back of the rehearsal hall."
"When she first came to girl choir she would never audition for a solo. She was crying having to go on stage. This shy, timid little girl. And now she's in 8th grade and she does solo's at a lot of our concerts and she's just developed into an amazing singer. It's just fun to see them grow up."
The girls range in ages from 7 all the way up to high school. "There's 2 choirs. The concert choir is like the preparatory group. Most of our girls start out in there. And as they progress, they audition to be in the touring choir."
They tackle a wide range of music from classical to pop, show tunes to jazz. "We do all styles so that the girls can learn all different types."
"It's just nice to have a group of girls who are enthusiastic and excited about singing."
"It feels good singing in front of people. Showing them your talent. Show them what you can do. I've made a lot of friends."
"If you love music and you love to sing, this is the place to be because you are going to learn so much and have fun doing it"
"Groups like this are so good for the community. I think it just adds to the whole atmosphere of La Crosse."
"It says a lot about our community that we're committed to this type of thin. That this many people will put their time and effort and money in to an organization like this to make it last. It's also a testament to the importance of music in the lives of children."
The 25th Anniversary concert is this Sunday, May 1st at 2:30 at Logan Middle School. They are expecting 40 to 50 alumni to be in attendance.
Also, the girl choir is offering singing-grams for mother's on Saturday, May 7th.
If you would like more information on the concert, the singing-grams or the choir in general, check out their website at www.lacrossegirlchoir.com

Rated 4.8 out of 5Â by 16 reviewers.
Rated 3 out of 5Â by Reenikins It's only the bulb I purchased both the Snowman and the Santa Bubble Light. I opened the Santa first, plugged it in and the bubble light did not come on. I unscrewed the bulb, screwed it back in, turned it on and it lighted. Voila! Next I set up the Snowman and hit the switch. It came on immediately and within 30 seconds began to "bubble". I noted that the liquid in the Snowman is a bright red but that in the Santa is a pale muddy pink. Santa's bulb was bubbling but very slowly. The flakes inside are red, not sparkly silver, like the Snowman's light. Very sluggish and not cool. Both figures are very cute, however a bit pricey. Rather than going through the hassle of returning the Santa, I'll order the replacement bulbs, which I would probably do anyway. One can't find bubble lights just anywhere! October 28, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5Â by Martha Ray Just Like Grandma's I ordered this Santa from the catalog because my grandmother always had one plugged in and sitting on the kitchen window sill every Christmas. When he arrived, I was delighted, it was just like Grandma's, only prettier! January 6, 2015
Rated 4 out of 5Â by Jancie46 Cheery Santa reminiscent of childhood This very happy, cheery Santa reminds me very much of bubble lights and other decorations we had at home when I was a little girl. December 29, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5Â by Hiker girl Just like I remember I had one of these bubble light Santa's as a child and used it as a night light. It was so fun to get it and set it up in our new house. Will enjoy it for years. December 26, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5Â by kathy62 Who can resist Santa and a bubble light? Santa is a wonderful addition to my Christmas decorations! I also bought the Snowman bubble light and they look wonderful together. December 15, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5Â by Boobie Doo Love it! This product is better than expected. I love it. It brings back childhood memories. I would like to hear more of the story of the creator of this item. There was a little blurb attached on the cord, but it's so cute, maybe I will want to buy other products she produces. Let's hear about her. Barb December 11, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5Â by Tuck Memories of old Brings me back to the days when we had bubble lights on our tree. Warm and comfortable light in the dark. January 1, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5Â by Mamon Retro bubble light My husband loved these as a kid, and our kids really enjoy seeing Santa's light start to bubble. December 31, 2013

I really do not know what style pizza it is but would say that it was little bit chewy to me. Taste was good. My favorite flour still is KABF but just wanted to test full strength. Used it alone but was not impressed. As for steel not sure yet. I see that it heats faster than my 18x18x1 stone. Baked time was 6-7 minutes with top broiler on. Still have problem with large bubbles.
Hey Sart, that looks really good. Love the open hole structure on the rim. I see you used gluten powder. I haven't heard of that before. I take it that is to make the flour even more glutinous than the flour itself? Do you use it regularly?

Recipe from How to Cook Everything.
Chard with Orange and Shallots
Makes: 4 servings
Time: 25 minutes
A perfect winter dish, this warm salad has vibrant color and tangy sweet-sour flavor. The skin of the orange or tangerine becomes almost candied and provides a nice chew, but if you'd rather not eat it, simply peel before chopping.
Other vegetables you can use: any chard, bok choy, kale, or any cabbage. For the citrus, use kumquats (quartered) if available.

Tex: A Special Father's Day Guest Post, by...My Dad!
23 comments:
First of all I read your post on your Dad's list and I am impressed.. His list is right on, tho it makes me wonder why some men still are asses... guess they didn't have a Dad who was one or wasn't taught not to be one? anyway, your Dad's post has a lot of history, humor and love in it.. Its great that you're learning about this while he is around.. I learned about my grandfather's younger years way after he had gone.. Your Dad sounds like he has tried out anything w/out the fear but w/a heck of a lot of confidence. A nice post on fathers and without a need for a Hallmark card.ReplyDelete
Love the history here! Someday your kids will be glad you have this story. :o)ReplyDelete
This is fantastic.ReplyDelete
I'm afraid of Paw.ReplyDelete

Beta Dad - Now I see where you got your story-telling abilities. Great story! I will read this to my kids who never got to meet "Tex." -SisReplyDelete
Is there a granddaddy blogging niche he can be king of? Nice work, both of you.ReplyDelete

Remember, Andy, when you rode Paw's horse (Buck) and got bucked off and broke your arm, and Paw wanted you to "get back on" to teach Buck a lesson? To me (his daughter) he was the kindest, sweetest, most giving man I ever knew, except when it came to working cattle. Then he expected me to know everything he knew and used cuss words I had never heard before. I loved the fact that he loved all animals. I guess that's where I got it from. When he worked at the Railroad, he would take his lunch. He would sit on the floor and had a pet mouse that would come and share his lunch with him. Down at the farm, he would let Buck come into his house! I was very young, but I remember he was always so big and strong. One summer he shaved his whole head. It made Maw so mad, she made him wear a hat when we ate, and wouldn't let him go out in the front yard, for fear the neighbors would see. He looked just like "Mr. Clean" on the old commercials. I never really saw Paw much cause he was always working, but your dad, Jim was a good role model for me. He was always so good to me, unlike most big brothers. The only bad memories I have is, he would hold my arm in the sun and hold a magnafying glass over it, trying to start my arm on fire! Also one time, and I can't believe this happened, I'm sure your dad would deny this. I had a wart on my arm, and he bit it off!! One summer he took on the goal of digging all the way to China. He dug up the whole back yard. I remember on time I was really scared. Maw made me leave the house, cause the police were at the door. They were there because Jim had had a little too much fun the night before. Over all, Paw and Jim gave me some good memories. Thanks for the stories. SusieReplyDelete
If anyone thinks BD and I can tell stories, you should listen sometime to old "anonymous" above. (Not too anonymous when signed off as Susie.) I too remember the head-shaving. Paw said that he had heard that hair would grow back thicker if you cut it off. He was just beginning to go bald. At the same time, he took to wearing armless T-shirts and really did look like Mr. Clean. He scared the hell out of some of my friends just by walking into the yard.ReplyDelete
I want to say that I'm entranced by your family of storytellers. I don't think that's a strong enough word. What fantastic memories carried on the back of some equally fantastic writing ability. Thanks, all of you.ReplyDelete
Loved it, both of you! I love how you describe the stories "Paw" would tell (like a trip to the post office) because that's how I describe the stories your dad tells. "...so there I was, in Caspar Weinberger's office..." And that's not even the point of the story.ReplyDelete
Happy Father's Day!
What a wonderful blog post to read today. Thanks for sharing the memories with us DadDad.ReplyDelete
@KBF--I figured this post makes a Hallmark card unnecessary. Turned out to be a good father-son project.ReplyDelete
@Stacy--I know! I'm trying to convince my dad (and mom) to write down all the stuff they remember about their parents. Why not, right?
@Holmes--I agree!
@Muskrat--You should be. I just remembered something funny when thinking about all this stuff. At my sister's wedding about ten years ago, I saw my cousin, another grandson of Tex, for the first time in decades. We ended up drinking a bunch of whiskey and wrestling in the dirt in our dress-up clothes. Everybody was like, "Aw...now it's a family reunion."
@Always--Thanks. It's a small niche, and my dad could totally dominate it. Watch--he'll be doing posts about night patrol in Cu Chi sponsored by Ensure.
@Nicole--I'm entranced too. I really miss all the old-timers and their endless stories.
@Sleepy--Nonchalance is a powerful rhetorical tool, whether it's "...so I killed the sumbitch," or "...then Rumsfeld walks in wearing a dress," or "...I bought some more cloth diapers for the twins."
@Nubian--Thanks on behalf of me and the old man!
@Dad and Aunt Susie--thanks, of course, for the stories. I'm reading them again for the millionth time, and laughing and getting a little misty. I miss the backyard storytimes in Havre.ReplyDelete
Susie--Of course I remember when Buck "bucked" me off (some eyewitnesses said I "fell off," but of course we know better than that)--it almost ended my cowboying career! LOL. I hadn't heard about Grandpa's pet mouse. That image is about the cutest damn thing ever.

Don't be offended but this might be my favorite post ever. So fun to read.ReplyDelete
@Michelle--No, that's fine. Whatever. Just another thing that my dad is better at than me. Sigh.ReplyDelete
That was crazy great.ReplyDelete
also... it was crazy great....ReplyDelete
This all commentators are really cool, their comments and this blog artical on schedule is superb, i have read this type of article after such a long time.ReplyDelete
Loved this post and the one about your dad. You got some good genes,man!ReplyDelete
I've always imagined your dad as the inspiration for the Dos Equis "Most Interesting Man in the World" character. Now I have this image of your grandfather as the model for True Grit.ReplyDelete
We'll have to swap grandfather stories next time we get together.
Thanks for such a nice share. i would like to read more here, ple make more post fast and quickReplyDelete
That really is utterly astonishing. Nothing remotely like that in my wimpy little Limey family...ReplyDelete
Very nice guest post. It's really worth the read.ReplyDelete
Happy father's day to you.

Wave Worms had only one thing in mind when they developed the 7" Tiki Anaconda, to land the big one! The Tiki Anaconda is the big brother of the Tiki Snake. The Tiki Anaconda's tail shimmies and shakes when retreived. The tail remains vertical when the Tiki Anaconda is motionless. With the slightest twitch of the rod, the Tiki Anaconda comes back to life. Recommended hook size: 5/0 6/0 7/0.

Comments: These things are huge, but nice and soft with great action on the tail, doesnt take much movement to get the tail flipping. I can already tell these will be killer for the big pike i fish around weed beds. Not sure how they will hold up to the toothy pike, but at $1.50 a pack how can you go wrong.

Mars mission back on track despite shutdown
DENVER — A satellite mission to Mars is back on track despite the federal government shutdown that has idled 97 percent of NASA employees after the space agency determined the satellite is required as a communications backup to ensure ongoing contact with the Curiosity and Opportunity rovers currently on Mars.
Lead mission scientist Bruce Jakosky at the University of Colorado said Friday if the $485 million satellite, with a primary mission to probe the Martian atmosphere, isn't launched between Nov. 18 and Dec. 7, the launch would have to be delayed for at least 26 months in order to take best advantage of the alignment between Earth and Mars and save fuel.
The Mars Atmosphere and Volatile EvolutioN satellite, also known as MAVEN, is already waiting at the Kennedy Space Center in Florida to be placed atop an Atlas missile once tests are completed.
The rovers are presently supported by Mars Odyssey, launched in 2001, and the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter, launched in 2005, two aging satellites that have NASA engineers worried about their lifespan. Currently, there is no NASA relay orbiter planned after MAVEN is launched. The failure of one of the aging satellites could have serious consequences, delaying the relay of valuable information.
"We were directed to carry out an orderly shutdown. They determined the government needed MAVEN to save the rovers," Jakosky said.
Opportunity has been exploring Endeavour Crater since 2011.

But also I own a beauty company. I have my own business and we make fine beauty oils. It's new and it's growing.
I am also a mother and wife. I am also a friend, dog-owner, housewife, cook, sister, driver, shopper, daughter, blogger...
Then I explain that I have been on a sabbatical for the last six months and they usually ask...'why?' And I umm and err and say 'just because'! I took the time off for a variety of reasons, not least to see what it would be like to concentrate on the other areas of my life that weren't my profession. I'd worked and worked until it wasn't fun anymore and everything else was suffering. So I stopped, then I went back, then (and this is the important bit) I stopped again: but on my terms.
The only way I can describe time off is an adjustment of the head-space that one walks around with every day. For the first month I felt odd, slightly displaced. The second month I felt worried. The third and fourth I felt content and the fifth and sixth I felt downright happy. My mind had emptied out and realigned. What I don't know is whether it was all-the-sweeter because I knew it was temporary. Knowing me, if I had been looking at a long-lasting life choice I might have developed the usual Lou-esque existential panic that often appears on this blog. But as it was: I loved it.
Things I now know:
Yoga is the answer.
Owning a dog is good for your health.
No matter what the day holds, my first and waking thought is a cuppa tea.
Even without a steady income, my urge to shop has not abated (much).
Sometimes you have to do things that scare you.
Don't be frightened of feeling the judgement of others - if it's OK with you, that's what matters.
The urge to whitewash my entire home and only have white furnishings has not lessened yet.
Having coffee is the mainstay of most mornings.
Circuit training is good for me; doing it with my friends even better.
I live in a very beautiful part of the world.
Even when I am not working, I still snap at my kids.
Even when I have all the time in the world, I still don't always get stuff done.
I can actually cook.
I suspect even Mary Poppins has a messy house sometimes ;-)
Running your own business can actually be harder than working for someone else's
In the last six months, I have seen more rain than I can recall in my entire life.
I have never been so in touch, so aware, so grounded, so present before.
I really, really want, in fact I am determined to keep hold of this feeling...watch me try! :-)

Paper Magazine has posted another entry in Hayley Williams' tour diary! Click HERE to check out Hayley's entry from Singapore along with a gallery of photos from Paramore's time there.
"We came here a year and a half ago and played to an amazing crowd of people. And I'm starting to think that that crowd is partly responsible for the fact that we were able to come back to this side of the world so quickly... and even play in new places like Hong Kong, Bali, and Jakarta. So with that being said, thank you very much Singapore!"

Hearing continued for man charged in knife incident
By LISA M. REED
Staff Writer
IRON MOUNTAIN – A preliminary examination for a Niagara, Wis., man facing charges following an alleged knife assault at a flea market on June 15 has been continued.
Attorney Grant Carlson of Iron Mountain asked that due to the serious nature of the incident that the 14-day requirement for a preliminary examination be waived.
Dickinson County District Judge Christopher Ninomiya set aside Wednesday, July 10, at 2 p.m. for the continued preliminary examination.
Assistant Prosecuting Attorney Kristin Kass has been assigned to prosecute the case.
Lemanski is charged with carrying a concealed weapon and assault with a dangerous weapon.
He faces the charges after troopers from the Iron Mountain Post were called to a reported assault between two male subjects at a flea market near Iron Mountain's east City Limits.
Investigation determined that one person assaulted the other with a knife.

Democrats anti-business
Patrick Finken, Bismarck
Democrats in the North Dakota Legislature are chafing at the idea that Republicans want to cut income taxes for business. They find cutting taxes for out-of-state companies even more distasteful.
It is business that has invested billions of dollars in our state and created thousands of good new jobs. Because of business, virtually every corner and industry in our state is thriving. And the Republican proposal to cut income taxes for business by $25 million is modest compared to the over $700 million in property and $100 million in personal income tax cuts Republicans are also proposing.
Democrats are also repeating the phony and politically-motivated claim that Republicans are cutting oil taxes. The bill in question does cut the extraction tax by 2 percent on new wells drilled in 2017 and later, but the taxes on existing wells, or any drilled in the next four years, will not be affected. More importantly, the bill also increases taxes on other Bakken and Three Forks wells by $600 million over the next 10 years, and increases all oil taxes by $1 billion a year if oil prices drop significantly.
It is this kind of anti-business attitude that has gotten many other states like California and Illinois in so much trouble. With business fleeing these states, they face state budget shortfalls, rising unemployment and falling wages.
Here in North Dakota, our leaders have worked hard to create a positive business climate. As a result, we have attracted major corporations like Microsoft and John Deere to invest in our state, and encouraged small business to grow and thrive. Our pro-business climate and attitude has led to more good jobs and rising wages, and North Dakota now has money to invest in schools, infrastructure, flood protection and property tax relief.
It is important that our elected officials remember that it is business that creates the jobs that employ our citizens and the tax revenues that pay for schools and roads. And, when business succeeds, we all win.

Description: The U.S. Supreme Court decisions in Roe v. Wade, 410 U.S. 112 (1973), and Doe v. Bolton, 410 U.S. 179, which held generally that a State could no longer prohibit abortions in the first 6 months of pregnancy, caused several House and Senate members to move for an abortion prohibition effectuated by congressional action. To this end, proposed bills and constitutional amendments have been introduced in both Houses. Rather than having settled the abortion question conclusively, the Supreme Court decisions have kindled a national protest movement.

i am interested in neo now
The Andiamo dome height is not an issue for Neapolitan pizza. The only issue I have with my Primavera 70, which is the same as the Andiamo 70, is that I wish I had enough room for two pies at once. Dome height is less of an issue (if an issue at all) when the oven is smaller in diameter since the pies are so close to the flames. Here are some examples of what I get out of the FB oven:http://www.pizzamaking.com/forum/index.php/topic,19928.0.htmlhttp://www.pizzamaking.com/forum/index.php/topic,19526.msg192154.html#msg192154http://www.pizzamaking.com/forum/index.php/topic,16918.msg164871.html#msg164871John
I could not discern, thanks to the pizzaiolos (they're friendly once you tell them you're an enthusiast and make your own pies in your own wfo) who let me check their ovens out with their infrared guns, a difference in the ratio between floor and dome heat between the smaller ovens (Andiamo) and the larger ones at the professional outfits in town.
I may make a call to the city, namelessly, or ask the contractor that has done work on my house to ask for me.
John is right. I could not discern, thanks to the pizzaiolos (they're friendly once you tell them you're an enthusiast and make your own pies in your own wfo) who let me check their ovens out with their infrared guns, a difference in the ratio between floor and dome heat between the smaller ovens (Andiamo) and the larger ones at the professional outfits in town. Those are Acuntos and Ferrara ovens that I checked out. The main difference that I could discern is the distance between the pies and the fire as John said. Then again one outfit was cooking their pies very close to the flame which is almost similar to the distance that you would expect from the Andiamo 70 or the Primavera 70. If you want the leoparding that a lot of these bigger ovens have, having a long ferment (more than 24 hrs) and a flame that covers the entire span of the dome from the left to the right will do it. Craig recently suggested that having a cool dough might help--I will try this on my next bake.The bigger ovens obviously have more thermal mass and that might make them more manageable when cooking a large volume of pies. The most pies I have cooked out of the Andiamo was 12 and it can get quite interesting in managing the floor heat but it's just another fun skill to learn in addition to make a proper dough. Until I get a chance to cook my dough in an Acunto or a Ferrara, I do not believe that the bigger ovens will make a significantly better pizza than the oven I am working with now. I think with my current oven, with more practice and experience, I can come within striking distance, equal or maybe even surpass some of the outfits here in Atlanta that have WFOs. I think I may have already surpassed the dough of one outfit in downtown Decatur that uses the same model Acunto as Craig is using. Just to be clear, Craig and the Acunto are the perfect storm. Combine a master with the dough and ingredients and that oven and we see the consistently great pies on his posts. However I have to say that I feel that the wall that Scott is suggesting that I will hit is just something like the Maginot Line Go ahead and purchase the oven that you think is right for you and start learning.
I know the thread is a few weeks old but you may want to drive down to Santa Barbara and talk to Forno Classico and see the ovens. They are pretty nice ovens, I would questions wheels on th Picollo just due to the weight on top of a fairly narrow stand that might be tippy but Giuseppe has done it. I have his bigger oven the 100 so I was not concerned about moving it
But, I wrote a note to ask if they would be on wheels for me. Giuseppe responded: "The Piccolo is a heavy duty oven and with the stand weighs around around 600 lbs. For this reason, we do not provide or recommend wheels."
I don't know where people are getting the idea of having the lowest dome possible is best and that 9" is perfect.
It seems like it would be about things like a large turkey, a tagine, beer can chicken, other taller things one may imagine.
Specifically addressing your items: I have the standard height 950 FGM, and I don't know if the extra 3" will give you enough height to make a significant difference for anything you just mentioned. Maybe beer can chicken, I'm not real familiar with that. A large turkey in a pan is taller than 12.8" in my experience and getting it through the door would definitely be a challenge, width-wise as well as height - and then managing it while it cooks will be tricky. What's the width on the door on the smaller oven that you're looking at? Because you'd need to get the turkey in roasting pan in through the door, and the door is going to be narrower as well as shorter than the inside of the oven. And I guess it would depend on the tagine but I think you'd be tight even in the taller oven. The two I just looked at on Amazon, you could probably fit the Emile Henry tagine but I'm not sure about the Le Creuset one. By the same token, I'm not sure you're sacrificing that much for Neapolitan pizza if you go with the taller oven. I haven't cooked in the taller FGM but I have cooked in an Italian oven with a much higher ceiling and bigger opening than the FGM and it cooked beautifully. It's a management issue more than a good/bad issue for a household oven, IMHO. You're not putting in a restaurant oven that has to perform at maximum efficiency for a multitude of users, you can spend a little more time managing it if you need to, and you'll learn your own oven and how best to cook in it, and that trade-off for the versatility of the taller oven may be justified for you. When we bought ours, we didn't have the taller option available so it was an easy decision. If we had had to choose, I'm not sure we wouldn't have opted for the taller oven. It would be nice to have, and my 950 is so efficient, I can't imagine loosing that much with the taller/bigger opening. I haven't gone back through this thread - have you looked at either actual oven in person? I think that would really help, it's very hard to imagine the size without seeing it in reality.

More people hitting the water for ice fishing
By CHRIS
Staff Writer
IRON MOUNTAIN – Anglers in the area have been out in force, taking full advantage of the ice on local waters.
"There's a lot of guys going out now," noted Don Ciochetto of the Sport Shop in Iron River. "And there are plenty of ice shacks out there."
Patti Teske of Florence Sport and Bait said area lakes have anywhere from 6-10 inches of ice at this point. She reported an increase in fishing over the past week as well.
"There were a ton of people out there," Teske said. "There might not be any fish left in the lake."
The Michigan DNR reminds anglers that no ice is ever 100 percent safe.
"All ice has the propensity to be dangerous," said Lt. Steven Burton of the DNR's Law Enforcement Division. "Obviously, during some times of the year, some ice is much better than other ice, but no ice is ever completely safe ice."
Panfish are still biting hard on many area lakes, with reports of good sized bluegill being caught on waxworms. Bob Kennard of Midtown Bait and Tackle in Channing has seen plenty of anglers taking advantage.
"The bluegill are going crazy," Kennard said.
Kennard reported lakes in the area have between 5-9 inches of ice.
John Grier of Whispering Pines Outpost in Breitung Township reported anglers catching some nice bluegill as well.
Grier also said that a 30-inch northern was caught, and a pair of good-sized walleye at 22 and 18 inches. The walleye and northern are biting on minnows and the blugill on waxworms.
Not much was reported in the way of small game hunting this week. Grier said he was pleasantly surprised to see some guys having good luck hunting snowshoe hares.
The application period for the spring turkey hunt started on Jan. 1 and continues until Feb. 1.
The 2013 spring turkey season runs from April 22 to May 31, with hunts lasting from seven to 39 days, depending on the hunt unit. Hunters may purchase a license for just one hunt. A total of 114,290 licenses are available, including 49,290 general licenses and 65,000 private-land licenses.
The Wisconsin DNR reports that Ice making conditions continue to hold steady across Wisconsin as colder temperatures have added inches of ice – improving ice fishing safety – and kept the blanket of late December snow as a much needed base.
Snow depths range widely – from very poor to good or better – across the state.
Snowmobile trail conditions also vary – from north to south. Trails remain closed in many counties where wet heavy snow fell on unfrozen ground, which caused it to compact and not build up sufficient base for groomers.
Conditions in Florence and Marinette counties are good. To check conditions to the Wisconsin Department of Tourism's Snow Conditions Report.
Also according to the Wisconsin DNR, lakes in the Northwood's generally have at least 7 to 8 inches of ice, though some conditions always vary. Lakes in the south are beginning to freeze, but still trail the northern waters.

Grossman's Future With Crew Uncertain
The Columbus Dispatch - November 15, 2012 05:04 PM
A frustrating season could have been Cole Grossman's final one with the Crew.
Although the club is not releasing contract information until all decisions have been made final, the second-year midfielder was tight-lipped about what the coming months could have in store for his career. A former second-round draft pick, Grossman made 10 appearances including five starts with the first team. After starting in a 2-2 draw against Houston on August 19, however, Grossman was limited to two more appearances totaling eight minutes.
Asked what the coaches told him he needed to improve upon to reclaim a starting spot, Grossman said, "They never told me anything. I never heard a word. I came out after the Houston game because he said I needed to be rested, which is fine, but I didn't hear from him again until our meeting at the end of the season yesterday."
"But that's how it works a lot of times. I don't think that's necessarily abnormal. What they want in players, what they expect out of players, what they are looking to do next year, to be honest with you I have no idea. I wish I could comment on that, but I can't."
A product of Duke, Grossman seemed poised for a bigger role next season with the Crew. The club went 3-0-2 with him in the starting lineup and teammates praised his intensity and positive attitude throughout the season.
"He's definitely a leader," veteran midfielder Eddie Gaven said on June 5. "He's a very good player and the game definitely means a lot to him. He wants the team to win and he's the first guy who's going to work hard and put his body on the line for the team. I know he was definitely very upset after the (U.S. Open Cup) loss at home. It's also been great to see him come into some of the first-team games and play very well. He's definitely given us a spark. He is a guy that I think could be a leader for this team for sure. It's not just when he's trying to yell at guys and try to fire them up, it's the way that he plays and all the work that he puts in. you can tell that he really cares and wants the team to win and he's going to do everything in his power to do that and to get the guys around him to do that as well."
In all, the Crew was 6-1-3 when Grossman saw action. He also scored his first MLS goal in the draw against Houston, which ended a stretch of four starts in five matches.
"I think I showed everyone in the games that I played that I can be counted on," he said. "The team never lost when I played and we played the best teams in the league. I would've liked to play in games against teams that weren't better than us so we could've showcased ourselves more but at the end of the day I'm obviously not very happy with how the season went but very happy with my mentality and the effort I brought every day and the energy and the enthusiasm and passion for the game. That's something I really care about and I'm really happy that I never let the misfortune of the season and unfortunate scenarios affect my overall happiness and mentality."
It is believed that the club holds an option on Grossman for next season. When asked about next season, he said, "I'll just say this: there's a lot that goes on at this club and I'll say this first: the character of the players on this club is unbelievable, one to 32. I feel like we have a team of standup individuals and really quality guys and to me, I feel so honored and happy to have been on a team like that. That's something that fans and media don't always know, but it's a special group of guys and I think the guys in this locker room deserve the best."

What do you look for in aged Oolong ?
Not just a high fired yan cha that is undrinkable until the roast subsides.
But intentionally aged Oolong
Tead Off wrote:What are the aged qualities Tim refers to as 'being robbed' with re-roasting? Maybe he can answer this with specific qualities that go missing.
tingjunkie wrote:I'll let Tim speak for himself, but in my opinion, reroasting aged oolongs covers up or takes away the damp storage flavors similar to those found in non dry stored aged puerh. To me, one method is not superior to the other, only different.
Red Blossom has a decent (not outstanding) 1982 Baozhong which was not reroasted, and possesses some of the damp aged puerh qualities. I find oolongs like this are very calm and subtle, and force you to really focus and pay attention to get their full effect. Lot's of notes of dried plum and old book store. I've also had 20 year old Dong Ding from one of Taiwan's masters which had been carefully reroasted every 2-3 years. The flavors were big, bold and yet with balance and refinement not found in new tea. It's one of the best teas I've ever had. Of course, Tim's 60's Shui Xian is right up there too! I think that's just a case where the tea was so nice and well roasted to begin with that it has retained it's power while still displaying its old age. That tea is like Morehei Ueshiba (founder of Akido) who could still kick ass and throw down well into his 80's!
The end result of this tea's natural, undisturbed aging is a tea rich with the aroma of plums, and a finish that amazingly enough has the same sweet finish as high quality fresh Wenshan Baozhong.

Very interesting that someone (who as far as I know is not ABx's sock puppet) posted almost exactly the same question, phrased in a similar way today.
I PMed him with a pointer to this thread.
