Trans-Siberian Orchestra Tickets
The Trans-Siberia orchestra knockout a sold out crowd with lights, flames and 4 solid hours of classical music presented to a rock and roll beat. It was a real adventure of music, story, lights and sound! For full four hours we never feel disappointed but were so impressed by what they were proficient to do. The story was enchanting. The effects were entwined within each aspect! Actually, the light show and pyrotechnics were out of this universe wholly unique. It was a great family affair. I am in love with the whole show!
Trans-Siberian was a beyond doubt worthwhile entertaining concert experience.
Their concert, theatre, television special events lighting and stage work completely blown me away. If you get the option, don't miss this superlative production. At the end extra 6 songs by band really impressed the audience. Everyone was so glad. It was total fun and lots of energy all around. This is show for anyone who loves music, lasers, and something to do with family or loved one.
After experiencing their show everyone will definitely get this impact that they are just keep getting better and adding more talent. It was fast, runs smoothly. The band members are very sociable! All the effects really aided put on a show, and further help to boost the music and overall occurrence. I would certainly go back again.

Jerry Jones has a fever..... for some glory hole
Jerry Jones has a fever..... for some glory hole
He never learns.
I went to the Giants game in Dallas last year... We had a whole section of about 50 of us, and we were getting taunted pretty bad down two scores with 4 mins to go or so.
Ahh, that was sweet. I love to watch the youtube video of Jerry's face when the field goal was blocked.
Little does JJ know he is THE reason the Cowboys fall short every year. He should just put up the money and hire poeple who nkow what they are doing and let them do their jobs. He is ultimate puppet master. Too bad he isnt as good as he thinks he is when it comes to motivating a coaching staff and a football team....
"Measure Twice......Cut Once"
You couldn't be more full of **** if you were break dancing in a Port-a-Potty.......Kruunch
Why don't you fill us in on how JJ is not very, but very,very good for the NFL? You cowboy fans make me laugh... JJ holds you back and you don't realise it. If not for the Walker trade getting you a bunch of first round picks he would have nothing to hang his hat on (Texas reference for ya). You are 500 average team over the past 15 years and have ONE playoff win..
Tebow laughs at Romo's playoff record. Jerry is a glory hound looking for a glory hole, and good football people know it and stay away. Nice job with Barry Switzer by the way.....
Have you started a countdown on Carrot Top's tenure?
Football has been very, very good to us.
After losing seasons 2013-15, the giants put up 11 wins in 16.. they are on way Back
But for now we can console ourselves with this fact-
# of Super Bowl victories since 1985:
1-Chicago, St. Louis, Tampa Bay, Indianapolis, New Orleans, Seattle
2-Washington, Green Bay, Pittsburgh, Baltimore
3-San Francisco, Dallas, Denver
4-New York Giants!!!
Let's make it 5 in 2016 so we can be on a LINE NE again!!!

Revenue Sharing.
As you keep making note of (here and on the other cowboys board) the Cowboys haven't had any real success in the last 15 years. Yet for some reason they still bring in a huge chunk of money that is, as you most likely know, split up evenly amongst teams. That reason is Jerry Jones marketing moxie. The man is a guru in that regard.
We realize it. Or at least I can say for myself that I realize that he holds the team back. But that has nothing to do why he's good for the NFL.
Even still. Times are changing in Dallas and plenty of power is being ceded to football minds when it comes to football matters.
No countdown for Garrett's tenure. Unlike a lot of people I have patience and don't overreact after one pre-season game. Garrett has taken the right steps to repairing this team.

A rare occurrence during a hockey game when you not only score a goal but also save a person's life. Similar to a Gordie Howe Hat Trick (1 G, 1 A, 1 Fight).
Did you see Dougie last night? He scored a goal and then saved that guys life when his own meathead teammate attacked him. Now that's a Dougie Double!

He's not druggin or thuggin anymore cause he's on the J train. And if he starts druggin or thuggin again it probably won't be for long cause he seems like he's always on the J train.

[quote user="Kase-1"][quote user="DavenIII"][quote user="MattMeyerBud"][quote user="dezzzR"][quote user="MattMeyerBud"]na i just don't hold any racial discrimination on a topic like this, apparently you do
and i agree that those making it a pro-black thing are equally disgusting as those who are trying to make it "ITS ONLY CUZ ITS A WHITE SHOOTER" argument
most are just outraged that a young life seems to of been taken for no reason and that there was some sort of misplay by the police
[/quote]Maybe you can show us where any of us were discriminating.
right now, by you taking up the other end of the racial debate is you taking a racial stance.
It's clear that this story is racially motivated, one of the reasons this has gotten so much coverage is because its a white on black crime (and it isn't even really that but that's what they are selling it as) this is undeniable.
[/quote]Also a story of no arrest or prosecution, a story of an unarmed teenager being shot, a story of a man being told that police will take care of someone being 'suspicious' which is their job and him taking the law into his own hands
yea its funny how they both just overlook those things

[quote user="bigblue4417"]Daniel von Bargen -- who played Mr. Kruger in "Seinfeld"
-- is clinging to life in an Ohio hospital after shooting himself in
the head Monday morning in a failed suicide attempt ... and TMZ has the
horrifying 911 tape in which he calls for help.
Daniel tells the 911 operator, "I've shot myself in the head ... and I need help."
operator asks if it was an accident -- Daniel replies, "I was supposed
to go to the hospital and I didn't want to." Daniel says he's diabetic,
explaining, "They were supposed to amputate at least a few toes."
The operator asks where the gunshot wound is -- Daniel replies, "I shot in my temple."

Law
enforcement officials confirm they were dispatched to von Bargen's
Cincinnati apartment complex a short time later -- and when they
arrived, you can hear them on the 911 tape ... yelling at Daniel to keep
his hands where they could see them.
Von Bargen -- who also played Chief Grady in "Super Troopers" -- was transported to a nearby hospital where he is currently in critical condition.
WOW!!! How do you screw that up? lol
He shot himself in the temple and ISNT dead, what'd he shoot himself with, a BB gun or a .17 pistol???

Timmy was awesome today. That's two great outings this season with one er. His era is now 0.64. And when your 3-4-5 hitters all get three hits, you are going to win a lot of games. Panda now hitting .400 on the season, which doesn't mean much as he started out fast last year until I jinxed him in May. Anyway, nice win over a good pitcher.

Rebecca Stead's 2010 Newbery-winning novel When You Reach Me was a tour de force about New York City kids in which time travel played a subtle but important role: real and unexpected. Her new novel, Liar & Spy, set in Brooklyn, is a worthy successor. It tells the story of Georges, a Brooklyn seventh-grader whose parents were perhaps a little too enthusiastic about the pointillist painter Georges Seurat. Being bullied and teased about his name at school is bad enough, but Georges and his family have to give up their beloved home and move into a new apartment when his architect dad is laid off, and his mom has to work extra shifts at the hospital where she is a nurse to make up for it.
Lonely Georges meets up with Safer, a boy in his new building who says he's using his skills as a spy to keep tabs on a man known only as Mr. X. How Georges becomes drawn into Safer's world while navigating his own universe at school is the crux of the novel.
Just as she did in When You Reach Me, Stead creates characters in Liar & Spy who are totally believable as kids and appealing to readers of any age. Her stories deal with real emotions and situations, but manage to stay just south of the YA line, making them perfect for readers who find much of YA too gritty or intense. And they're funny and smart, with a voice that sounds authentically jaded and kid-like at the same time:
There's this totally false map of the human tongue. It's supposed to show where we taste different things, like salty on the side of the tongue, sweet in the front, bitter in the back. Some guy drew it a hundred years ago, and people have been forcing kids to memorize it ever since.
But it's wrong–all wrong. As in, not even the slightest bit right. It turns out that our taste buds are all alike, they can taste everything, and they're all over the place. Mr. Landau, seventh-grade science teacher, has unrolled a beaten-up poster of the ignorant tongue map, and he's explaining about how people have misunderstood the science of taste since the beginning of time.
Everyone in my class, even Bob English Who Draws, is paying attention today, because this is the first day of "How We Taste," also known as The Science Unit of Destiny. They all believe that sometime in the next ten school days, at least one person in the room is going to discover his or her own personal fate: true love or tragic death.
Yes, those are the only two choices.
Stead herself is also funny and smart, as I learned during a recent phone interview from Manhattan, where she is raising her two sons, 11 and 14.

Crown Roast of Pork with Stuffing RecipeRead Reviews Be the first to add a review
5 1 2
I make this roast every Christmas, much to the delight of family and friends. The recipe was passed down from my mother, so I've been using it for years. The succulent stuffing is oh-so-tasty! —Martha Forte, East Setauket, New York
Recommended: 35 Easter Dinners That Aren't a Big Hunk of Ham
- 3 tablespoons canola oil, divided
- 1 pork crown roast (16 ribs and about 8 pounds)
- 1-1/4 pounds bulk Italian sausage
- 3 cups finely chopped onions
- 2 cups finely chopped carrots
- 2 cups finely chopped celery
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 4 cups diced cooked peeled potatoes
- 1/3 cup minced fresh parsley
- 1 teaspoon fennel seed, crushed
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/8 teaspoon pepper
- Decorative foil or paper frills, optional
- Rub 1 tablespoon oil over entire roast; place on a rack in a shallow roasting pan. Cover rib ends with aluminum foil. Bake, uncovered, at 325° for 1-3/4 hours.
- For stuffing, in a large skillet, cook sausage over medium heat until no longer pink; drain and set aside. In the same skillet, saute the onions, carrots, celery and garlic in remaining oil until tender. Stir in the potatoes, parsley, fennel, salt, pepper and reserved sausage. Carefully spoon into center or roast.
- Bake 1 hour longer or until a meat thermometer reads 160° and meat juices run clear. Replace foil with decorative frills if desired. Remove stuffing to a serving bowl; slice roast between ribs. Yield: 12-16 servings.

Wanting the iPad form factor but not wanting the limitations an Apple product represents, I went with the Viliv S10 Blade, a Windows 7, Atom processor-based PC in a 10" screen tablet convertible form factor. It is roughly the same height and width as the iPad, but twice as thick, and 50% heavier. This is no iPad killer, but it's not meant to be. It is instead a fully capable PC in a pleasingly iPad shape. I've been using it for three weeks now and I must say it's a very good device, and if the right software were to come along to address its software-based shortcomings this could truly become great.
The machine I bought is the 2 GHz model, 60 GB SSD, no WWAN, with Windows 7 Home Premium for $1127 from Dynamism.
I must confess my first impression of the computer at the time of unboxing was that the case felt a little cheap. The plastic they used, or perhaps its construction, feels a little unsatisfying. When you pick up the unit the case creaks like a floorboard in my dead grandmother's house. It even creaks when your palms press against the top as you type. You just don't expect that in a device which cost as much as this one did. I've been able to move past it and not let it get on my nerves, and in fact the longer I've had the S10 the better I've felt about its aesthetics and construction. It may make unnecessary creaking noises but otherwise feels solid.
Switching to and from tablet mode is a typical convertible tablet affair, and the screen hinge feels solid. Some people had written in reviews that the lack of a latch to secure the screen in place on the screen was a problem, but I'm pleased to say I've had no problems with it.
The keyboard is solid. I was struggling with my previous netbook's keyboard, which had almost no action and routinely failed to register 20% of my keystrokes (the keys would bind if my fingers were a little off center). I can type on the Viliv's keyboard for hours and hours and be quite happy.
The multi-touch supporting touch pad is good, but its buttons are lousy. The rocker design they use for the mouse buttons is unfortunate because it requires quite a lot of force to depress, and the force required depends on how far you are away from the fulcrum. And that wouldn't be awful if there was some tactile indication that the click had been registered, but instead you just have to press until it seems like the button won't go any further, which is a problem when the plastic they use is creaky. It's not a fatal flaw, but you may find yourself using a bluetooth travel mouse more than you would if the buttons were more satisfying.
One of the truly most bizarrely confounding issues is that you can never leave the device in tablet mode between uses! No buttons, not even the power button, are accessible in tablet mode! You therefore need to lift the screen up almost all the way to expose the power switch located at the top of the keyboard just to turn the unit back on. This is a truly unfathomable decision. With this one simple design decision they guaranteed that no one would ever mistakenly compare this device to an iPad.

Membership in the national ag organization is the highest in history.
Fear not, there is hope yet for America's youth.
Not all teenagers have withdrawn into a black hole of no manners, nonstop texting, and social dysfunction. Just look at Future Farmers of America.
Incomprehensibly and wonderfully, the venerable ag organization has become cool on high school campuses like never before. All across the country, students are joining FFA in numbers that, well, haven't ever been seen.
In 2011, FFA says over 540,000 students were members of their local chapters. That's up 17,000 from a year ago and is the most in the 83-year-old organization's history. New chapters are springing up from coast to coast. California (81,694) and Texas (70,555) have the largest statewide FFA memberships. All 10 of the largest individual chapters are in California, with Pioneer High School in Woodland, near Sacramento, heading the list.
FFA's renewed popularity is being driven in large part by nonag kids. They say the appeal isn't so much about raising animals or growing crops, either. Camaraderie, leadership, traditional values, and practical skills like public speaking and business savvy are often the main lure.
Jobs are another big one.
"With more than 300 careers in agriculture, it comes as no surprise that students from all walks of life are interested in pursuing agricultural education," says National FFA Organization CEO Dwight Armstrong. "FFA members are students interested in developing a diverse set of skills and experiences that will equip them for careers in such fields as aquaculture and food science to production agriculture, forestry, research, and more."
It's a trend that not only figures to keep putting food on tables, but also to keep agriculture up-to-date and in touch with tomorrow's consumers.

As I See It: The shutdown - who to blame?
I had planned to write a column about something far more controversial and meaningful, but this one just wouldn't go away. I have already read about a dozen pieces on this very subject and the guilty parties range far and wide. I am gratified that to this point, no one has pointed the finger at George W. Bush, but there's plenty of time left before this is resolved, so maybe they will eventually get around to him.
Actually, I hope it's not resolved for a while. I hope it's not resolved until we start talking in an open and meaningful manner about the 900-pound gorilla sitting in the corner — the burgeoning national debt. And it appears the only people who appear to be interested in talking about King Kong are in the House of Representatives.
When our founding fathers designed the legislature, they made it in two chambers — the Senate and the House of Representatives. The Senate certainly resembles the House of Lords in Great Britain with its collegial, patrician atmosphere and ancestry. The House of Representatives looks like the House of Commons and is supposed to be made up of people who are closer to the citizenry as a whole. I have other things I could say about that, but I'll stick to the main points.
The three branches of our government are supposed to work together and be complementary to one another, while ensuring that no one branch has excessive power over the others. And, in the case of the Legislative Branch, the House and the Senate are supposed to work together to produce legislation and laws for the common good of the entire country.
The system of checks and balances has worked for hundreds of years, but we seem to be in a protracted period of checks without any balance.
So who is to blame? Was the Great Unifier that was elected in 2008 really a farce? I guess if you never negotiate on anything, life can be easy as long as your opponents continue to roll over.
The Washington Post published an editorial claiming the House of Representatives has been an embarrassment. I'm not sure of that. I'm trying to decide if they are doing what they are supposed to be doing for our benefit or for others.
Under the Constitution, all spending bills must originate in the House. However, the Executive Branch is supposed to submit a budget to Congress every year. The reason they haven't is simple — they don't want a budget fight because they can't win it.
So, Congress has allowed the government to function with appropriations bills for too long and we citizens do not have any true insight into the total amount of money being doled out to just about anyone who opens their hands.
Actually, I was wondering if the state of California might be considered an embarrassment having elected Sens. Boxer and Feinstein and Reps. Watters and Pelosi. And some of whatever caused that to happen leaked over into Nevada and brought us that paragon of statesmanship — Harry Reid.
In 1796, President Washington's farewell address contained the following warnings and admonitions:
"I have already intimated to you the danger of parties in the State ... Let me now take a more comprehensive view, and warn you in the most solemn manner against the baneful effects of the spirit of party generally.
"The alternate domination of one faction over another, sharpened by the spirit of revenge, natural to party dissension, which in different ages and countries has perpetrated the most horrid enormities, is itself a frightful despotism. But this leads at length to a more formal and permanent despotism. The disorders and miseries which result gradually incline the minds of men to seek security and repose in the absolute power of an individual; and sooner or later the chief of some prevailing faction, more able or more fortunate than his competitors, turns this disposition to the purposes of his own elevation, on the ruins of public liberty.
"... But in those of the popular character, in governments purely elective, it is a spirit not to be encouraged. ... A fire not to be quenched, it demands a uniform vigilance to prevent its bursting into a flame, lest, instead of warming, it should consume.
"It is important, likewise, that the habits of thinking in a free country should inspire caution in those entrusted with its administration, to confine themselves within their respective constitutional spheres, avoiding in the exercise of the powers of one department to encroach upon another. The spirit of encroachment tends to consolidate the powers of all the departments in one, and thus to create, whatever the form of government, a real despotism. ... But let there be no change by usurpation; for though this, in one instance, may be the instrument of good, it is the customary weapon by which free governments are destroyed."
George Washington also praised the benefits of a stable public credit that should be used sparingly, recommended avoiding debt by "cultivating peace" and "by vigorous exertion in time of peace to discharge the debts which unavoidable wars may have occasioned."
Although he conceded that "the execution of these maxims" — or, in layman's terms, balancing the budget — was the responsibility of the government, and "... that it is essential that you should practically bear in mind that towards the payment of debts there must be revenue; that to have revenue there must be taxes; that no taxes can be devised which are not more or less inconvenient and unpleasant ..."
I'm not certain what comes after inconvenient and unpleasant, but I am certain that what must happen to pay the current debt will be extremely painful, if not unbearable, not necessarily upon us, but for many generations to come.
In the final analysis, we are all to blame as we elect those who promise the most benefits or are of the correct party, union, religion, race, gender or any other filter you may apply, rather than for the good of the nation as a whole.
Well, that's the way I see it.

Failed CEH today with a 67%
I must say that the exam was way off from what I used as study guides. I was surprised with the level of depth most of the questions went into, especially having to analyze full page logs and memorizing exact syntax and commands with options.
The practice and review material in the book were nowhere near reflective of the exam style questions, which really threw me off.
That combined with ongoing renovations at the test facility both factored into my failing mark.
I filed a complaint with Pearson Vue to hopefully get a complimentary retake on the exam. I did not appreciate jack hammering and drilling in the adjacent office space.
Maybe I was too cocky since I sucessfully passed the CISSP in December, or did not take the exam seriously enough.
Either way, I am disappointed, but will try harder next attempt.

Those TV Commercials!
October 10th, 2011
A Catholic Digest classic article from July 1954
Photo from Photos.com
At 5:15 pm, August 28, 1922, people listening to WEAF-AM radio in New York heard Mr. Blackwell of the Queensboro Corporation encourage New Yorkers to leave the crowded, congested living areas of the city. "As you value your health and your hopes and your home happiness," he said, "get away from the solid masses of brick, where the meagre opening admitting a slant of sunlight is mockingly called a light shaft, and where children grow up starved for a run over a patch of grass and the sight of a tree." The place to go, he said, was only a short subway ride away — the Hawthorne Court cooperative apartments in Jackson Heights, Queens, where one could get to know one's neighbors, while having "all the latest conveniences and contrivances demanded by the housewife and yet have all of the outdoor life that the city dweller yearns for but has deludedly supposed could only be obtained through purchase of a house in the country."
Mr. Blackwell went on extolling the virtues of Hawthorne Court for ten minutes. The people listening to him were hearing what most historians think was the first bona fide radio commercial ever.
And as soon as there were radio commercials, there were complaints about them. Herbert Hoover, U.S. Secretary of Commerce, said that same year (1922) that "it is inconceivable that we should allow so great a possibility for service [as radio] to be drowned in advertising clutter." In the late 1930s when radio advertising was ubiquitous, a Catholic Digest article lamented that the most heartbreaking radio news of war and disaster would inevitably be followed by a cheery announcer telling us about the joys of aftershave.
Television followed the same course, from the first ad — for Bulova watches — in 1941, to the Super Bowl advertising extravaganzas of our own day. And from the beginning people have enjoyed them, complained abut them, and proposed pay TV models (including coin-slot televisions) that would do away with them.
In 1954, when our classic article was published, TV was still growing in popularity. Only 56% of American households owned a TV. But the thoughts and arguments in this article sound very familiar to what one might hear today, when advertisers spend over $70 billion a year on combined cable and broadcast air time.
So here from July 1954, "Those TV Commercials!"

The Story of the World War One and World War Two Panels
The West Riding Woodcarvers' Association (WRWA) was founded in Huddersfield in 1992 and today has approximately 70 members. Throughout its lifetime, members of the club have produced several large-scale carved panels to support the fundraising activities of local charities (see Woodcarving issue 52 January/ February 2000, and issue 101 March/April 2008).
You can view images of all the panels on Flickr® by clicking on the links below
World War One panels
World War Two panels
In 2007, the association produced a panel commemorating the 25th anniversary of Overgate Hospice in Elland, Calderdale, in which local scenes and activities were depicted. It was well received and helped raise money and awareness for the hospice. The success of this venture prompted the membership to undertake a similar, but more demanding, project. The subject matter this time would be scenes from the First and Second World Wars, the intention being to show, in a series of individual carvings, the horror, suffering, courage and human spirit of those who took part in these conflicts.
Overgate Panel. 2.8 × 1m [9 × 3ft], depicting 41 scenes of Calderdale, for the Overgate Hospice, 2007.
Initially, only one large panel was envisaged but when 54 carvers showed a willingness to be involved, it was quickly decided that we could produce two panels, commemorating each conflict.
On each panel, five 'themed areas' were planned, as shown in the two diagrams below-Air (blue), Sea (teal), Europe (green), Home Front (purple) and Rest of the World (orange). Each area would identify and separate the main conflict zones associated with each of the World Wars. On the finished panels, these areas would be clearly defined by a larger spacing between them and the eventual 95 individual carvings.
A sub-group of the membership was formed from volunteers to collect suitable photographs and pictures representative of the five selected themed areas, and to plan the overall dimensions and layout of the two panels.
A group of volunteers planning the dimensions and layout of the panels
It was agreed that the overall size of each panel would be 3.048 × 1.524m (10 × 5ft), including a 100mm (4in) wide utile _ hardwood frame. As with previous panels, the timber for carving would be lime _(Tilia spp).
All collected photographs were redrawn to assist the carving process
Our aim was to cover as many sectors as possible of the armed forces and civilian population which played a part in both conflicts, such as the Bevin Boys, the Land Army Girls, Fire Fighters and animals used in war, along with the frontline fighting forces.
Eventually, 95 pictures of various sizes were selected, which would involve varying levels of skill and difficulty in carving. Because suitable photographs from the 1914/18 period were both scarce in variety and very dark in colour, a small group of very good artists amongst our members set about re-drawing all 95 pictures into line drawings to assist with the perspective and actual carving. These drawings were photocopied and resized to specific dimensions to fit into their allotted place in a full-size paper plan of each panel.

Location & finance
The Royal Armouries Museum, Leeds, was chosen for the final location of the panels. As the Museum is Britain's oldest and has one of the greatest and most comprehensive collections of arms and armour in the world, it was a perfect match to the military theme of our project. Plus with the museum located in West Yorkshire where all our members reside, the panels would be easily accessible.
On approaching the Royal Armouries, armed with a full-scale paper plan of each panel and samples of relief carvings done by club members, they were delighted to immediately enter into a joint partnership with the club.
Discussing the panel designs at a club meeting
Our club charges an annual subscription of £20 and it has never been our intention to accumulate funds beyond our general running costs, but to seek grants for any charitable project we undertake. On this occasion, we approached the Leeds Community Foundation for financial assistance with material costs. We were offered a very generous sum to cover nearly all materials, administration and publication costs, and we are extremely grateful to the Foundation for their encouragement and support throughout the project.
Mike Chambers carving his Hiroshima scene for the WWIT panel
We returned to a supplier with whom we have a close relationship -Hexhamshire Hardwoods in Northumberland. They supplied 95 individual 32mm (1%in) thick, machined lime pieces to the sizes we requested. Our members were issued with instructions encouraging them to carve deep to create shadow, but to leave 1Omm (3/ain) of background to ensure that the carving could be screwed from the back onto an MDF backboard.

Club together
The volunteer carvers were given three photocopies of their particular picture and a block of lime wood, both to the exact size dictated by the master paper plan of each panel. A set of brief instructions was issued regarding the depth of carving, keeping fine detail away from edges in case the size of the carvings had to be altered slightly on completion, and the need to not bleach or use any form of stain.
Carving stages of Trevor Stanley's Memorial Plaque featured on the WWI panel
As the carvings progressed, it became apparent that everybody was determined not to let down their fellow carvers, and members were inviting each other to their home workshops to swop ideas. The overall outcome were carvings to an admirably high standard. One of the overriding reasons for undertaking this project was to bring club members together so that everybody, irrespective of skill, could become involved.
8,000 hours
Everyone was encouraged to keep a check of the hours they put into the carving process. As a conservative estimate, we are sure that just over 8,000 hours of carving went into completing the panels.
War in Burma, by Jim Wrathall-part of the WWII panel
Once finished, each carving was dipped for protection in a clear sealant and brushed over with a proprietary woodworm killer solution, so as not to introduce woodworm into the priceless exhibits within the museum.
Many hours were put into the machining, sanding, polishing and construction of the two custom-made frames by two of our long-serving members, and the individual carvings were precisely mounted onto a 19mm (3/4in) MDF backboard. The construction was such that the frames and backboard holding the individual carvings could be separated for transportation.
A wooden cover to encompass both frame and panels was made to protect both.
Forget-me-not Hospice
From the outset our aim was to raise funds for the new Forget-me-Not Children's Hospice, serving the people of Kirklees and Calderdale, through the sale of commemorative booklets featuring a foldout cover, front and back. The inner of the foldout cover shows a diagrammatical representation and key to individual carvings, together with photographs of the completed panels. Each carving, photographed by one of our members, Graham Lockwood, is accompanied by detailed and interesting information regarding the subject matter, sourced by the carvers themselves.
Advanced Dressing Station, by Bryan Hodgson-part of the WWl panel
With the proceeds of the Leeds Community Foundation grant, and the assistance of the Royal Armouries on design and printing, 3,000 booklets were produced to a very high quality. Help with financing the printing of the booklets resulted in us being able to sell them at the relatively modest price of £4 each, with all the funds eventually being passed to the Children's Hospice.
Official unveiling
HRH Prince Michael of Kent officially unveiled the panels at the Royal Armouries in Leeds
Every November the Royal Armouries undertakes a month-long 'Reflect and Remember' project which leads to a special Service of Remembrance, attended by local dignitaries, children and adult choirs, trumpeters and WWII veterans on Remembrance Day. During the two-minute silence, poppies descend from the upper galleries onto the heads of those gathered for the service. It was agreed that this occasion would be the perfect setting for officially unveiling the panels in their permanent home. We were honoured that HRH Prince Michael of Kent, accompanied by Dr Ingrid Roscoe, Lord Lieutenant of West Yorkshire, agreed to unveil the panels.
The day of the 11 November 2010 was a lovely occasion, with over 130 of our club members, family and guests attending. After a suitable introductory speech by a Director General of the Royal Armouries, Prince Michael unveiled the panels and took great delight in meeting and talking to many of those present.
The panels were displayed and stewarded by our members from the 11 November until the end of the month in the 'Hall of Steel', which comprises over 3,000 items of armour and military equipment in the largest mass display of its kind in the world. On the 1 December, the carved panels, glass sheet, video information and carving details were moved to their permanent location on the 3rd floor at the entrance to the War Gallery.
The many wonderful comments expressed about the panels, the generosity of people who wouldn't accept change from £5 or £10 notes for a booklet, and generally just talking to the very interesting, warm and lovely people who took time to view the carvings, was truly humbling for our members. Their comments, and the funds we raised for the Children's Hospice, fully justified the many hours the club had spent undertaking this project.
Information booklets available in the Royal Armouries bookstore on the Ground Floor. Price £4.00 each.
All proceeds to the Children's Hospice.
Total amount donated to-date (October 2011) £8.500.00.

I planted a small grove as a windbreak. Will they produce as much as the American variety of pollen?

I planted a small grove as a windbreak. Will they produce as much as the American variety of pollen?
It is my understanding that they will produce as much, if not more than American Elms.
Siberian elm is my favoritest tree in the whole world right now.
<pointless trivia>
Siberian elm was a pilot project by the government to find a fast growing, easily propagated tree for establishing windbreaks in post-dustbowl Midwest. It works beautifully. I have some large ones at the borders of my property, and every spring, hundreds more sprout from the windblown seeds. NRCS considers them an "invasive species" now, because they are so hardy in my climate. Yes, the irony. A tree that grows without human intervention in Colorado's Front Range... of course it's "invasive." It's one of two that will grow here without irrigation or fertilization. The other is Ailanthus altissima, aka "Tree of Heaven," aka "ghetto palm."
</pointless trivia>
Can't answer your question about pollen, personally and authoritatively. But I can authoritatively state that they will produce you more windbreak, and faster, and with no maintenance. They thrive on poor soil, no water, and abuse.
And we all know more trees is a good thing. More to hug.
Now that mine have "grabbed the ground", they are growing wonderfully. They are tough and any pollen they produce will be a plus here.I can see now that they will do well.

text: Okay, so not only does he make bad game day decisions, but he also makes bad staff and personnel decisions. He wanted Bernadeau and Livings and journeyman at center. Our Oline is our biggest weakness. He hired Rob Ryan to coach his defense. He's fired after two years. More assistants are leaving too, reportedly. Can someone other than 110k post guy tell me WHAT Garrett has done to warrant keeping his job????????

Discussion in 'Fantasy Sports Central' started by webz, Oct 2, 2009.
Robin Hanson agrees.
No love for Ray Kurzweil? By the way, here's a fascinating site that helps us understand if we're there yet. IS THE SINGULARITY HERE YET?
Why sure, didn't you get the notice... Oh. Never mind. (everybody keep quiet around cj)
Hji Ralphie. I know who a Ralphie is but wasn't sure what a Raphie is. I have deduced that Bill was insinuating that you were somehow associated with the practice of proposing lopsided fantasy sports trades. Laim was insulted by my offer of two young multi-category fantasy stallions for an injury-ravaged, aging superstar who is 3 years past being able a reliable fantasy option. I think you should let old Billy know how you feel about him using your name as an adjective like that.
I believe were playing you guys this week. ...thanks for the bulletin board material! Don't blame AK's bed bug infestation and recent viruses on my team man. We have a cleaning staff of undocumented immigrants that do a helluva job keeping our facillities ship-shape. '47 was a disease-ridden, walking ball of bacteria before he got here and it's one of the reasons his unsanitary butt is gone. During contract negotiations, his agent kept going on and on about how much water we were gonna save due to his propensity for not taking showers. The dude had a series of Excel spreadsheets that were so convincing that we added an extra 3% onto the backend of his deal. Just looking at this action shot of Andrei KiriSTINKO makes me want to go wash my hands.
Talk about "fantasy" basketball! BDL, you have one active imagination, my friend. Not one word of your post is true! When the Squirrels came through Seattle last week, Nick Batum and Roy Hibbert got fleas. Sent from my PC36100 using Tapatalk 2
I am searching the internet now for some body condoms the Cogs can wear in Denver next week. Sure, maybe a few more turns because it's hard to grip the ball, but better than a head full of cooties. We use sonic showers in Orbit City.
I know for a fact that a few of my guys have some minor STDs but nothing contageous in an airborn manner. You guys are barking up the wrong tree man! Have a nice day.
...speaking of STD's my team played like herpes last night and we are off to a "wonderful" start this week. We would have been better off trying to kick the ball into the hoop.
I wanted to move JV out of the lineup but those 3 blocks are quite valuable. My Gasol/Monroe 1-2 punch needs to get back on track because I rely on my C's to pad my assists . One thing good about fantasy bball is you get to see a variety of stats. I like the 7, 15, and 30 day stats. Knight is trending up and Kemba is ballin'! Nice way to compare guys.
I really need Dirk to come back and be a top 20 player. The Squirrels are coming back down to earth. ...Lowry gets hurt in the 1st quarter in a MONDAY game? - crap!
The battle between the mooseheads and the squirrels has become a contest of who can imitate the pistons better. Both teams clank ball off the iron more often than Chucky V but the Squirrels have a slight edge in that regard.
Holiday went a little lame this week and without his assists the Cogs dropped the assist category to the wombatz by three making the final 6-3 instead of 7-2. Amazingly that was my first injury this season that really hurt, other than my accidental drafting of Al Harrington who's still holding down my IR slot.
BIG matchup for the Denver Squirrels this week after a nailbiter with Slip's team that resulted in (yet another) victory for Denver. I was reading some trash-talk from Talbot Street last week but the internets seem pretty quiet right now. Here's a look at what we used to hydrate ourselves after last night's win. For the record, we chucked all the empty bottles at Talbot Street's team bus after we were done.
Of all the regrets I had, the biggest was not putting AK-47 in the lineup. The margins for 2 categories were very small. We were still pulling ourselves out of a cataclysmic nosedive. My team is solid though. If we ever match up again, hopefully Dirk and Eric Gordon will be battling it out with the rest of the team.
Cogs are gearing up ("gearing up", cool huh?) for the 1/2 matchup with the Squirrels this week by revamping the starting lineup. Faried goes to the bench for Marion and Holiday limps off and is replaced by Calderon. It's a classic matchup - the steampunk Cogs versus the small furry mammals.
Two tips from a seasoned (1 matchup) veteran. 1. Insist your mascot wear kevlar 2. Spray the locker room BEFORE the players arrive. We got a 'special' away game cake and it was actually Mike Conley trying to get back to the Mooseheads. His eyes were all red and his speech slurred but then rufus tackled him and said he had to get into uniform. I never want to hear a grown man cry like that ever again. ever.
Cogs are formidable. But my unwanted draft and FA scrubs put up a fight. If I can just stay in the playoff hunt maybe Bynum and Amare will be back by then. Ha!
Made it through Denver with only a couple of antibiotics shots. Might have been the first time we've won turnovers. Who to start, who to start...
Looking at getting punked by the Microwaves. 'Scoe is doing a bang up job working the wire. At least eric gordon's back.

The ESL workshops, offered at Rhode Island College every fall and spring, are designed for students who want to develop their speaking, listening, writing, and reading skills for academic, professional, and/or personal use. The classes take place Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday nights from 7:00 p.m. to 8:50 p.m. Teachers in the program draw on a communicative and student-centered approach to meet these needs. Structured conversations, web searches, simulations, oral presentations, games and role-plays are some of the activities in which students are expected to be actively involved.
Textbooks of the same series are used at all levels of instruction in order to provide a maximum core vocabulary and familiar structure on which students will be able to build their oral and writing language skills (Approximate cost for textbooks for each workshop is $90.00.). Each workshop is a semester (15 weeks) in duration and students will participate in a little under eight (8) hours of classes each week. Classes meet on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday nights from 7:00 p.m. to 8:50 p.m.
Who can attend ESL classes at RIC?
Anyone who completed at least high school is eligible. This is an academic program preparing students for college level courses and requires academic, strategic, in the native language.
How do I know what level I should be in?
Placement at the appropriate level is determined by different diagnostic tests given to all entering students. These language tests are free of charge and are divided into three online tests (ESL listening, ESL reading, and ESL grammar) and two face to face tests (writen and oral). The on-line tests can be taken at any time and the face to face tests are administered before the beginning of classes (July and late August for fall and December and middle of January for spring).
How do I take a test?
ESL diagnostic tests are now available online.
How do I register for classes?
Once you finish the three tests, you will receive the score for the tests. E-mail Dr. Ramírez by responding to this e-mail (firstname.lastname@example.com). He will verify your score and will register you for the appropriate class.
How much does it cost?
The cost for each workshop is $500. The cost for the books is approximately $90. If you take the classes for credit, normal tuition rates and fees apply.
What classes do you offer?The program consists of three levels. See description at left.
ESL Workshops
I am a returning ESL student. Do I need to take the test again?
It depends. If you attended the ESL class more than 4 semesters ago and you did not take the on-line tests, yes, you DO need to take the tests again.
If you attended the class less than 4 semesters ago and you passed the class you were attending, you DO NOT need to take the classes.
Do I need to be a U.S Citizen or Resident to attend the ESL classes?
No. The program does not require a visa to enter the ESL classes. Prospective students are advised to follow and abide by immigration procedures and regulations.

CTE and STEM (Part of a Continuing Series)
The Association for Career and Technical Education (ACTE) has identified two main factors for the deficit in STEM workers in the U.S. First, the STEM labor force is rapidly turning over as baby boomers retire. Second, too few U.S, students are preparing for STEM careers, notable engineering. Each of these is occurring while the U.S. business community is calling for a doubling of the number of annual STEM graduates by 2015. In addition to graduates with bachelor's degrees, there will be a need for more STEM technicians with associate degrees and certificates.
Unfortunately, many U.S. students arrive at a decisive point in their education without the requisite foundational skills to pursue these opportunities, as evidenced in the results from the National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) and the Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA). In addition, while the education deficit exists across the spectrum of U.S. students, significant achievement gaps exists between races and ethnicities and genders. This is a growing problem both for low-achieving students and for the nation as a whole, inasmuch as racial and ethnic minorities will make up an increasingly large percentage of the U.S. workforce during the 21st century.
The ACTE brief, a recent report from the Harvard Graduate School of Education, Pathways to Prosperity: Meeting the Challenge, and other studies posit that career and technical education is an essential component in attempts to enhance the employability of American students. This can be assisted through the adoption of career exploration, career clusters, career pathways, rigorous programs of study, and the integration of academic learning, career education, and technology. In addition, encouraging students to pursue STEM pathways early enough in their schooling will help to build interest in STEM careers, leading them to acquire the academic preparation essential for higher-level positions in these occupations.
Final Application Released for Race to the Top-Early Learning Challenge
The final application for the Race to the Top-Early Learning Challenge (RTT-ELC) was recently released. The program will provide $500 million in state-level competitive grants to improve early learning and development programs. Proposals must demonstrate a commitment to aligning resources and policies and increasing access to high-quality early learning and development programs for low-income and disadvantaged children. RTT-ELC will focus on five key areas of reform:
- Establishing successful state systems;
- Defining high-quality, accountable programs;
- Promoting early learning and development outcomes for children;
- Supporting a great early childhood education workforce; and
- Measuring outcomes and progress.
Grant awards will range from around $50 million to up to $100 million, depending on state population and plans. Applications are due on Oct. 19. The departments of Education and Health and Human Services, our partner in this program, will announce winners in December.

A little Yorkie-mix dog came into our lives this spring. He LOVES chasing and eating honeybees...stalking them in flower beds, leaping at them in flight, and chewing them up and spitting out their carcasses in the driveway. I don't know if he's not getting stung (would find that unlikely) or just doesn't notice or care. He doesn't pay any attention to the hive, where he could have a bee buffet if he chose.
That's weird enough.
But the other day, I got stung on the side of my knee. A few minutes later, as I sat on the couch, the dog sprinted right up to me and zeroed in on the sting, licking it obsessively.
Is this dog addicted to bee venom? Anyone with similar experiences? I'm very amused, but at a complete loss for explanations!

Geoff Cumming visits the centre that shows off Lisbon's turbulent history.
If the past is key to understanding Portugal today, a good place to start is the Lisbon Story Centre, a new attraction on Praco do Comercio, the waterfront plaza which has witnessed so much of the country's history.
Opened in former state buildings, a sequence of exhibition rooms with video and audio guides, explains the city's considerable highs and lows and adds considerably to visitors' appreciation of the sites, monuments and architecture that await outside.
Lisbon's ascent began in the 12th century, when Crusaders and mercenaries under King Henrique of Porto invaded on a mission to unite Portugal.
They drove the Moors from the Castelo de Sao George, the fortress on the highest of Lisbon's seven hills, which remains one of the city's defining sights. Henrique's successors made Lisbon the capital of the enlarged kingdom and the castle became the royal palace.
Though the port city was always prosperous, Lisbon really took off with "the Discoveries" from the late 15th century, seafaring expeditions which secured Portuguese dominance in Africa, South America and the Far East, after Vasco da Gama discovered the sea route to India. Portuguese ships brought back spices, herbs, tobacco, coffee and gold and Lisbon became the warehouse of the world - acknowledged here with a mock-up warehouse filled with goods and memorabilia. The Discoveries also inspired an architectural movement - Manueline, after Dom Manuel I - which paid homage to the seafarers' exploits and to Nature. Buildings were decorated inside and out with maritime symbols - rope lattice work around entrances, and botanic and animal symbols from exotic places.
Another room highlights the double-edged sword of religion - great art, devout people, churches decorated with Brazilian gold, the Inquisition. But on All Saints Day in 1755, it all came crashing down when the Great Earthquake struck Lisbon as most people were in church.
A recreation of the quake, in a theatre with wall-to-wall video screens and suitably shuddering sound system, is the high point of the permanent exhibition.
Many died as churches collapsed; thousands more survivors were killed when they ran to the harbour and were swamped by a tsunami. Fires then caused further death and destruction.
It is thanks to the Marques de Pombal, the chief minister to the apathetic King Jose I, that the city today retains so much of historic Lisbon. Pombal rebuilt the city in a very orderly fashion (his designs are on show), but was determined to retain and restore important precincts and buildings, including the old castle walls.
Many examples of Manueline architecture survived the quake, including the Tower of Belem, built in honour of da Gama and the other navigators, and the epic Jeronimos Monastery, which contains two museums and a magnificent church.
The historic district of Alfama, on the hill leading to the castle, was also spared major damage. Home to the Moors and later the Jewish r, it's great to wander this network of narrow passageways and alleys. There are cafes on most corners and many squares are decorated for festivals or market-days.
Up on top, the castle and fortifications offer 360-degree views of the city and the Tejo River, with its striking bridges.
Getting there: Emirates flies three times daily from Auckland and once daily from Christchurch, and all flights provide a direct connection at Dubai with Emirates' daily service to Lisbon. The airline offers first class suites, superior business class and comfortable economy class on all these flights. Economy round trip fares are from $2379 (all taxes included).

Voyage-Air and the Overhead Bins
Voyage-Air Guitar Artist Relations Director, Virginia Cannon reports from the road:
Wednesday, November 24, 2010 - "Another busy day meeting with Voyage-Air artists, and I finally checked in at the Oakland, CA, airport. While I was in line, a family in front of me spotted the Voyage-Air guitar over my shoulder, and wanted to know all about it. Mara, Eric and the rest couldn't believe it was a full-size guitar in such a small and easy to carry case."A few minutes later we were all boarding the plane and finding our seats - Eric rushed to help. As usual, my Voyage-Air guitar easily fit in the overhead bin."Is this news? Not really, but just an example of how folks are finding out about Voyage-Air guitars, and how easy it is to travel with them as a carry-on item. I take my Voyage-Air guitar with me everywhere. Once you play one, you will too!"

Magazine News
He wants to be close to home
Trent Lockett couldn't be thousands of miles away while his mother battled cancer for the second time.
By transferring to Marquette, he could continue playing basketball, take the next step in his studies and live only a few hours away from his family's home near Minneapolis.
It was the right thing to do.
"My dad died when I was 3," says the Golden Eagles guard. "She had a newborn baby, and I was 3 years old when she lost the love of her life. So she's been through ... I can't even imagine."
Near the end of his junior year at Arizona State University, Lockett learned his mom, Judy, had lymphoma. She survived a bout with breast cancer when Lockett was in high school. He decided to transfer, hoping to find a college closer to home.
And because Lockett earned his undergraduate degree at ASU he went to summer school and took 21 credits per semester as a junior he was eligible to play right away instead of sitting out a season under NCAA rules. Lockett chose Marquette, citing his comfort with the personality of men's basketball Head Coach Buzz Williams and also with his new teammates' effort-driven approach to the game.
"They have good players, but they win more games than not because they're going to outwork you," Lockett says. "And I think I'm living that."Lockett's mother retired after receiving her diagnosis and now catches as many of her kids' games as possible. Lockett's younger sister, Taylor, plays volleyball for Duquesne University.
"She was like, 'I'm planning to live until I'm 100, and realistically, that's probably not going to happen. So I'm going to enjoy my time while my kids are in college and go see their games,'" Lockett says of his mom.
Lockett, meanwhile, is taking classes toward a master's degree in sports leadership in the College of Professional Studies.
"I'm very thankful for my decision unfolding the way it did, and I'm very happy with where I'm at," he says. CJ

Where I stayed
When it went to extra time we couldn't be bothered to stand around any more so headed out towards the Stratosphere Casino. They have the biggest tower in Vegas and there are a couple of thrill rides at the top that I would never go on. A roller coaster at the top of a tower would scare me to death. The walk to the casino was terrible! I have never known heat like what we experienced on that short walk. It was well over 40C (close to 115F!) and it hurt just to breathe! Every step was a challenge and it was amazing to get inside and make the most of the air con. Stood around watching the closing minutes of extra time (great head butt by Zidane!) before the penalties. There was a huge crowd of Italians in this casino watching the game and they all went crazy at the end.
Dave decided he was going to go up the tower for an overview of the city but I couldn't be bothered to pay the $12, plus we've been up so many towers that I am bored of them now! Once he was back from the tower we head off to see some of the thrill rides at ground level. Most of the casinos have rides, presumably to keep the kids occupied, and we decided to have a go on the roller coaster in the Adventure Dome of our hotel. There were so many kids at our casino and most of them were waiting to use the ride. Pretty good ride with a couple of loops so well worth the $7.
We had seen another good ride at the nearby Sahara casino so decided to ride that as well. Speed the Ride was again well worth the $10. I have never been on a ride with such quick acceleration and half the ride was in reverse which was great when riding the loops. Very short ride time though and apart from the speed there was only 1 loop and not much else.
Decided to check out a few of the casinos to see what they were like on the inside. I really wanted to see the Venetian casino but we went to the Wynn casino on the way. Amazing casino and far classier than all the others. The Venetian was incredible! So much attention to detail in every department. Ceiling murals and even a canal system with gondolas inside the casino! Easily one of the most over-the-top casinos in Vegas. Walked around Caesar's Palace which was also extremely OTT and absolutely huge. It was like a small town and we got completely lost trying to find our way around.
It was around 7:30 when we had finished looking around so we were just in time for the "Sirens of TI" show outside the Treasure Island casino. It was brilliant with the scantily dressed girls having a battle against the guys. Loads of explosions and sinking boats. Can't beat a free show!
The Bellagio casino also puts on an amazing water show every 15 odd minutes. Water jets streaming 20ft in the air in time with the music and we stayed around to watch 2 shows before moving on.
We were feeling really thirsty again so went to a real dive of a casino, Barbary Coast, only for the $2 beers. Had a couple and wasted a few dollars in the slot machines before walking back to the hotel. It seems quite legal to drink on the street in Vegas so we bought a huge can of Bud (24oz, about 1.5pints) for $4 off some guy on the street for the walk home. First time we hadn't been ID'd so I gave him an extra dollar tip. Most of the people expect tips all the time but I refuse if they are really grumpy. Why should I give someone a tip if they give me bad service?
Back at the casino I decided I felt lucky and tried my luck on the roulette table again. I had a winning streak and came away $30 up! Even had enough to tip the dealer (as you are supposed to do) $5! Easily covered all the money I had spent on gambling in Vegas and how many people can say they come out of Vegas even?

(First off I know it has been a while...so lets just pretend that between this blog and the last blog there was just the worlds largest comma (,) and we continue)
So burnt, beaten, and bruised (somehow) we arrived at Dublin's International airport. It was a bit of a relief for us to finally know that we were going to sleep in a bed, and I think Sarah and I were a little hesitant about what type of whirl wind barrage of happiness and tears we were about to get ourselves into. However in reality when I think about it, I really believe the only thing that we want to do was jump across the desk of Air Lingus and strangle the person that LOST OUR BAGS!!!!!
So I had the wonderful job of talking to Sarah (who given the situation is this compact little ball of furiousness waiting to be unleashed... it's startling and adorable) I pretty sure my exact words were.... "Breath... no breath...breath, BREATH...the bags are in Cork... yes the other side of the country," that was followed by an immediate hug (restraining and comforting tactics!)
We left the luggage area a little in a bit of dismay, with out a clue of what we were going to do to get our bags. We didn't have a lot of time in Dublin; my dad's party was the next night.... And then we were blind sided with the screams of my mother! It was wonderful, the tears the happiness... I got kissed about a thousand times... and then it began
We went straight to the most impressive hotel I believe Sarah and I had ever seen The Shelburne Marriot (in a Mercedes Benz taxi, with a driver who owned a million Euro home aka... NOT ARGENTINA). My brother was asleep on the bed (recovering from the Jameson's Factory) and the entire family assembled in my parents' room, along with my first Guinness of the trip. The partied continued into the evening.
The Next day we spent most of the day shopping; replacing the clothes that we lost...Sarah took Sean as her personal shopper while Patrick and I went on the Bus tour.
Dinner was wonderful; Cake Delicious, and afterwards we had a classic Irish House Party with Music, songs, and Danny forcing Sarah to do some really bad gigs and reels... (Our 4 min crash course did us no good!). I'm sure there is a photo of me doing push ups... yeah my four year old cousin Noah decided at 1 am it was a nice idea to teach me how to do push-ups... Being at the peak of motor function capabilities and in no way under the influence of some motor control altering substance, I got a lesson in Push-Ups.
We spent the next day in the Airport all day looking for luggage it went as follows:
1. Drank till 3am
2. Grandma and Grandpa went to church
4. 11am we start the Guinness tour and up top I had the greatest tasting Guinness ever!
5. 12pm we sprint back to the hotel... 45 minutes late
6. 2pm arrive at the airport
7. Half the group grows impatient and takes off
8. 4pm Sarah comes out from the abyss of the luggage terminal with one bag (the bag without our clothes in it... perfect)
9. 5pm Danny gets a 5 min lesson on driving left handed stick
10. 5:06 Danny kills the car for the 1st of one million times!
11. 5:30 we finally leave... 5 hours later than we wanted to
12. 6:00 The younger cousins need to eat again... so we stop and finally get back on the road
13. 9:00 we were lost somewhere in some town... on some road... I was supposes to be following the GPS but that damn stick shift really... I was all over the place, and I am sorry Jared and Jake cause I think, I taught you some words that you definitely should not know
So on this lovely rainy day, we all came to a complete disagreement (as a large, opinionated family who all wants to do something different) and decided to climb Crough-Patrick a hill.. Half mile in elevation that has a chapel on top, the hill is a religious pilgrimage for the faithful who wish to reenact St. Patrick's pilgrimage up the hill bare foot and fasted for 40 days. Well upon hearing this I was all about running up the hill shoeless, and then came the rain... the jagged rocks... streams... goats... and my certain realization that I would most definitely cut my foot and have to deal with it for the rest of the trip.
Well we were off to the races, and the pictures tell most of the story...but the best part is who ran up the hill... My four year old cousin Noah took Sean's hand and took off in front of everyone. This was a you-had-to-be-there-moment: Sean in his Coach Umbrella and Diesel Jeans running up a hill with Noah in his yellow rain coat PRICELESS!
Tuesday afternoon we ate lunch with my grandpa's cousin: Timmy McGrael, a Butcher in the town of Castle Bar where half the people are named Staunton (our original last name)
We drove a lot... Thank god, Sarah switched cars when she did or I would have lost an eardrum. We went about 500km up hill on a one-way road with rock walls on each side and traffic going both ways; my mirrors were touching the rocks on the wall... and the stress took 3 years off my life. But it was all worth it for the cliffs of Moher... I can't explain it you just have to look at the pictures (the pictures don't describe the wind though....)
Wednesday night lead to the demise of Thursday.
After paying the bartender to keep the bar open, my Mom, Sarah, Patrick, and I just about saw the sun come up....
I went fishing
Sarah went to the Zoo
Sarah, Sean and I woke up early and headed to Blarney Castle..
We kissed the Blarney stone.... I don't know if I'm eloquent?
And then we headed home... We got lost in Cork in some godforsaken turn-a-bout...but we made it!
So eventually we made it back to Dublin, dropped off the cars... (Mine was missing part of the front end however that wasn't my fault; I swear my dad took it off turning around)
The last night in Dublin my Mom, Dad, Patrick, Sean, Sarah, and I went out for a walk around Dublin, stopped in some pubs, and decided to go out for dinner. The problem is the entire town closes around 7pm and it was 8pm. The only things open were bars. So we walked for a while and after wandering past a couple restaurants that wanted 100 euros a plate... we ended up finding a wine bar.
Dinner was fabulous and the company was excellent..
Just at that moment my grandma and grandpa strolled by looking for a bar!
So the 8 of us went over to the smallest bar in Dublin (max capacity 14) and elbowed our way into the corner seat. Grandpa sang songs and we had a great time. Around midnight Grandpa got the urge to dance and told everyone we had to leave. Just down the block happened to be the largest club in Dublin. Yes, club... Techno 80s, expensive drinks 22 - 30 year old crowd... Club!
Immediately stopped at the door, the bouncer asked for ID from Sean and Patrick due to the fact that it was a 21 one and older club, plus Sean looks like he's 15!
Who comes to the rescue but Grandpa who whispers to the bouncer, "Oh these young lads, they're with me! No, NO, NO, don't you worry, they are with me!" and we were in!
We were the most out of place crowd in the Club, lead by my 78 year old grandfather out on the dance floor- He Danced! Grandma and Grandpa DANCED! (Waltz dances of course). As the crowd circled around them, the cameras flashed, I couldn't be prouder, and my grandparents stayed on the dance floor until 1am...
We all made it home around 4am... and in a blink of an eye Sarah and I were on a plan and back home to all of you
I was an amazing trip.... It was "The Surreal Life"

Hello All,
I am a total newbee waiting to get my first 2 hives in the spring. While waiting, I have been busy building the necessary equipment to house the new hives. Now that the boxes and bottom boards are built, it is time to focus on building the feeders.
In looking at the feeders that are available from the different suppliers, I notice that there is a potential problem with bees drowning in the sugar syrup. Plus, leaking syrup has been another issue. Because of those issues, why couldn't I feed the bees sugar blocks year round instead of just in the winter? There won't be drowning or leaking issues, obviously. I realize that because the block needs to be dissolved by the bees in order to be ingested, water would be an important resource next to the hives which is in my plan. Building a candy board would be alot easier than a syrup feeder.
Has anyone done this? Am I missing something because this seems to be a no-brainer? I've never made a sugar block but have watched a few videos and it doesn't look too bad.
I welcome your advice!
Thanks in advance!

Re: Welcome to the forums!
I want to let you know what a huge influence you have been to me with what i'm eating.
I'm a 26 yr old aussie girl who really didn't care too much about what i ate most of the time and had a huge soft spot for junk food but after watching 'Jamie's school dinners' and reading your books, it's really made me realise that cooking can be so much fun and not so much of a chore and i think more importantly, it is so important to eat properly and the effect the right foods can have on you and your body.
I've been a bit sick the last few months but am now on getting back on track with your help.You see, my new favourite pastime is cooking, especially the receipes from your books.I've found it really relaxing and also gratifying to the see finished product,and how nice they taste!
I want to send you a big thankyou for that!!!
i hope to one day come over to england and visit 15 personally.
Please keep up the good work that you're doing and a big hello to your lovely wife and 2 little girls!!!!
take care

Hi Jamie
Would just like to say that I've tried Jool's favourite Stew (from the Jamie's Dinners Book) & it's great - so much so that my 21 month old son ate a whole bowl full - something that he's never done before!!
Keep up the good work but make sure you look after those girls of yours!!
Any sign of a 'Jamie's School Dinners' book yet??
Lotsa luv
