JV baseball team finishes season with win
The Pequot Lakes junior varsity baseball team split with the Brainerd Warriors on Friday, May 24.
The Patriots won the nightcap 5-4 when Karl Satterlund doubled in Chad Christianson for the walk-off victory. Pequot Lakes trailed 4-2 before eventually tying it when Jared Sewall scored in the third inning and the Patriots made it 4-4 on a pair of walks and singles by Josh Buell and Sewall in the fourth.
Pequot Lakes lost the first game 5-1 as the Patriots scored their only run in the second when Satterlund singled and later scored on Hunter Larson's hit.
Levi Puetz took the loss for Pequot Lakes in the opener. Chad Christenson, who pitched a no-hitter in a recent doubleheader sweep against Crosby-Ironton, went the first three innings in the second game before being relieved by Satterlund.
"We lost our first five games of the season before we started to put things together," said Pequot Lakes coach Brett Dale. "It was a great way to end the season with a win over Brainerd."

I took a basic firearms class back in the spring to get my CCW and each paritcipant had to go through numerous "action shots" 3 of which you mentioned below.
At the time, I took the class with an M9. It was a very enlightening class and no we did not shoot 5k rounds but did shoot nearly 500 - 489 to be exact. Had one FTF which concluded to be a dud primer as the primer was struck and appeared to be full contact.
I discovered the M9 was doable but not very realistic for trying to pull a full size pistol from under a shirt, jacket, etc. at least for me.
After the class, I ended up purchasing a Kahr PM9, an SA XD9sc, Ruger LCP and this last fall a Beretta PX4sc 9.
I carry the PX4sc about 50% of the time, PM9 20% of the time and the LCP the rest. LCP mostly during the summer due to lighter clothing.
No experience with a revolver though.
Thanks for the thought provoking discussion this will lead to.

County to hold surplus equipment, vehicle auction
Cass County will hold its annual surplus equipment and vehicle auction at 10 a.m. Sept. 7 at the county highway garage in Walker.
Kevin Lee, North Memorial Ambulance Service, reported to the county board Tuesday the Longville Ambulance District will be able to meet expected expenses without any increase in district taxpayer contributions in 2014.
He said the Longville service, which has a separate taxing district for ambulance services, transported the same number of patients in the second quarter of 2013 as 2012 at 111. Because the service did not have any employees on medical leave this year like it did last year, the service's net margin for the second quarter increased from 11.1 percent in 2012 to 16.7 percent this year.
North Memorial operates services at Pine River and Walker in addition to Longville.
Lee informed the board all its ambulances are dispatched from a central office in Robbinsdale. This year, the service installed automatic vehicle location GPS devices in all its ambulances. This enables their dispatching center to know which of its vehicles is closest to a call, so they can provide faster response times, Lee said, explaining that ambulances based at Walker, Pine River or Longville therefore may respond outside their district depending on which vehicle is closest.
Sheriff Tom Burch obtained board approval to accept an $18,278 per year Minnesota DNR grant for 2013 to 2015 for off highway vehicle enforcement.
The sheriff's department reported 35 men participated in sentence to serve the second quarter this year, working off $4,658 worth of fines and completing an estimated $22,700 worth of work. They worked 3,512 hours for the DNR, county, cities, towns and non-profit agencies.
Cass County Economic Development Director Gail Leverson reported to the county board she worked with 26 businesses in July. Seven companies are interested in expanding. Two new companies are looking for site selection assistance, she said.
She reported she helped Eveland's Inc. obtain $750,000 financing to expand and add 10 jobs for their Scamp Trailer manufacturing plant at Backus and helped Young Auto Parts obtain $350,000 financing to provide six jobs in Walker.

Iran's Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei claimed his nation was peace-loving unlike the warlike United States and noted: "The U.S. administration is in a situation whereein restoring diplomatic ties with it will be harmful to iran and we naturally should not pursue that." He pointed out the US had diplomatic relations with Iraq before invading that nation, and warned against allowing the US to use the guise of diplomatic relations as a strategy to stir up anger against the Iranian government. He argued America is reeling from a series of Middle Eastern disasters and seeking to find some nation to blame for its own failures. In a jab at the Bush administration he trotted out abuses in Abu Ghraib and Guantanamo as evidence the Americans abuse human rights, not Iran.
The comments about not pursuing relations with the United States at this time suggest a recognition that change is occurring within America. Perhaps, the Supreme Leader is sending a message to the new president that Iran might be welcome to an initiative that results in restoring relations between the two countries. He obviously has scant trust in the Bush administration and is simply waiting for it to expire before reaching out to the United States. Most probably, everything is on hold regarding Iran until after November's election

Press Review: Taking the Mask From Zeppelin
For 15,800 cosmics who bought out the Spectrum last night to partake in the 150-minute, straight-run Led Zeppelin concert, it was all top-shelf – pure and uncut.
Without second-raters cluttering the bill, there was the rare opportunity at a rock concert for both performers and audience to expand with each other. Both groups enjoyed the opportunity to "really get into things".
Last night was considerably different from Zeppelin's last appearance here at the Summer Rock Festival. Then they dew a poor third billing. Never again though. Since that time, the white, blues-based English quartet has increased its stature substantially on both popularity and money maker charts.
They rode high on charts with their first album during the later part of last year and are still perched in lofty spots with their second offering: Led Zeppelin II.
Last night's concert was like most others for the Zeppelin during the group's current 25-city, four week cross country tour. Big, big crowds and even bigger money. If you're a producer and you want the Zeppelin for a two and a half hour concert, then you've got to pay. Each concert on the tour carries a hefty $25,000 minimum, with some fetching the group in excess of $1 million.
What makes Zeppelin a top-seller is probably impossible to answer. For this writer, the intrigue has always been their wide ranging and unpredictable balance of interests and technical expertise.
Unfortunately, much of what I find appealing is now masked behind the volume of high-voltage electrical wizardry. And last night's performance spotlighted the mask.
In numbers where each of the foursome is given long, free-running solos, their expertise and unpredictable balance of musical instruments is exposed. John Bonham, the group's 21-year-old percussionist gave an astounding 25 minute demonstration which brought the audience to its feet. And John Paul Jones, who alternates between bass and organ, added significantly with his melodic organ arrangements.
Then there's lead guitarist Jimmy Page. Once a member of the famed Yardbirds, Page has the talent and technical ability to be as fine as Eric Clapton, but too frequently his imagination is muted by heavy-handed volume. In his solo number "White Summer", his combinations of progressive rock country and even some Spanish elements exposed the fine guitarist.
The Zeppelin's lead vocalist is Bobby Plant, an assertive, ego-type performer who has transformed a basic black blues sound into a plastic commercial seller. He's a Conrad Birdie of the 70s. He slithers and gyrates across the stage, heading long, blond tresses from side to side. Howls and blouses from young lovelies in the audience are his most frequent audience responses.
After last night, one wishes the money grabbers would let maturing, talented performers do their own thing. Because in the final analysis, we'll all see that it's the money boys who give pop music a bad name and stifle talent in the bargain. (Bulletin – W. Mandell, March 1970)

I find myself in a bit of a pickle with regard to a recent infestation of SHB. They have overcome five colonies already this year and I am beginning to run out of ideas.
First of all, I live on an island in South Carolina where the first SHB infestation was recorded and they seem to love the place.
I am using screened bottom boards, treating the ground with DE, and inserting AJ's Beetle Eaters. None of those things has even put a dent in the problem and I am now looking to a more drastic response. I have never used chemicals in my operation, but am looking for some insight as to what others would do in an emergency situation.

In Touch with Piano Reality
Although loaded with advanced music performance functions, the PF1000 is the first and foremost a fine digital piano. Carefully crafted to emulate the expressive touch and warm sound of an acoustic piano in every way, the PF1000 uses three layers of stereo piano samples, each set at a different velocity. What this means in real terms is that when you touch the keys lightly, you'll hear a soft, delicate piano sound. And as you play harder, the sound not only becomes louder, but also richer with more harmonic overtones, just like on a real piano.
For even more realism, the PF1000 features Stereo Sustain samples to recreate the resonance of the strings and soundboard when the damper pedal is pressed, and Key-off samples to simulate the subtle sound that piano keys make when released. To trigger these samples with genuine piano expression, the PF1000 is equipped with Yamaha's acclaimed Graded Hammer Effect keyboard. Specially designed so that the keys in the lower registers have a heavier touch than those in the top, this state-of-the-art keyboard provides exceptional piano action that accurately responds to the subtlest dynamics of your playing.
The PF1000 also includes a custom three-foot pedal to reproduce the damper, sostenuto and soft pedal effects of a traditional piano.
Bringing You the Joy of Music – in Style
Come, sit down at the keys of the new PF1000. Pull up the bench. Put your foot on the pedals and take yourself for a musical joyride! Whether you're a beginner, an accomplished player or anything in between, the PF1000 offers a powerful ensemble of features to satisfy any musical taste. With its exceptionally realistic sound and authentic hammer action, it makes a wonderful piano for practicing alone or entertaining guests – day or night. And with its huge selection of expressive voices and professionally arranged music styles, it's also a great performance and composition keyboard for anyone with an interest in music. Plus its karaoke functions and extensive collection of built-in demo songs make it an unparalleled entertainment system for whenever you have company. All these musical features in a chic, elegantly designed digital instrument that perfectly harmonizes with any room decor. After all, if you're going to have fun, why not have it in style?
The Beautiful Sounds of Music
The PF1000 provides a huge selection of over 800 digitally sampled instruments of unparalleled sound quality. In addition to superb piano voices, it offers a complete range of orchestral, ethnic and contemporary voices, many of which feature long sample waves to capture the natural sustain and character of the original instruments. These include newly added "Natural!," Sweet!," Cool!," and "Live!" voices.
"Natural!" voices – pianos, electric pianos, harpsichords and other keyboard instruments – have their own stereo-sampled waveforms, including Dynamic Samples, Sustain Samples and Key-off Samples, for truly expressive performance capability. "Sweet!" voices accurately emulate the natural tone and vibrato of acoustic instruments such as brass and woodwinds. "Cool!" voices realistically reproduce the dynamic textures and subtle nuances of electric instruments. And "Live!" voices are stereo sampled with natural room ambience to ensure maximum realism and expression.
Let Me Entertain You
Packed with amazing performance and arrangement functions, the PF1000 is your one-stop entertainment station. It provides nearly 260 accompaniment styles covering all musical genres, each of which has three intros and endings, four variations, four fill-ins and one break, so you'll never run out of musical possibilities. And if you want to try composing your own original songs, the built-in music sequencer lets you record up to 16 tracks of instrument parts.
Want to play a song but don't know which settings would be best for it? Simply search the PF1000's enormous Music Finder database – the most appropriate voice, style, effects and tempo settings will be automatically called up according to the song you select. And even if you don't play the piano, you can still have fun singing along with your favorite songs using the PF1000's karaoke features. Just plug in a microphone, pop in a karaoke disk and sing away. You can even connect the PF1000 to your TV so your friends and family can sing along to the lyrics on the screen.
The PF1000 is also compatible with a variety of popular MIDI song file formats, including Standard MIDI Files (format 0 and 1), XG and XF, as well as Yamaha's own Style File Format, so you'll be able to enjoy the wide selection of songs and music styles available from Yamaha and third party companies.
Sophistication Made Simple
Despite its advanced performance features, the PF1000 is remarkably easy to use. A handy Help function offers clear on-screen guidance on using various keyboard functions – in one of six different languages! Navigating from function to function is easy too, thanks to a Direct Access feature that lets you jump instantly to a desired display simply by pressing a related button. One Touch Setting buttons are ready to assist you in playing along with the built-in accompaniment styles by automatically calling up an appropriate selection of voices and effects to match the music style you select. Plus the PF1000's intuitive Style Creator function makes it easy to create your own custom styles for auto accompaniment use, either by editing an existing style or by recording all the parts from scratch.
And if you ever feel that your favorite piano voice could use a little more reverb, or that the symphony strings you're playing need a slower attack, simply press the Sound Creator button and you'll be able to change any of the parameters to your liking. You can then store your newly created voice in User memory for future recall.
For further convenience, Registration Memory lets you save your favorite keyboard setups for instant recall at any time. There's even a Piano button that instantly reconfigures the PF1000 for optimum piano performance because even with all these incredible features at your fingertips, there will be times when you just want to sit down and play the piano.

Former UTSA All-American Ryanne Dupree
UTSA All-American finishes 10th in Olympic trials
By Kyle Stephens
Sports Information Director
(July 9, 2008)--Former UTSA All-American Ryanne Dupree finished 10th in the heptathlon Saturday, June 28 at the United States Olympic Team Trials in Eugene, Ore. It was her second consecutive top-10 national finish.
Today's headlines
- La Prensa Foundation is newest member of UTSA Lone Star Society
- UTSA alumna Jordan Kaufmann wins $50K for new stent-graft start-up
- UTSA begins new way-finding sign installation this summer at Main Campus
- USA Today: UTSA long jumper Tyler Williamson rescues three-year-old boy
Article tools
The East Central High School graduate scored 5,697 points and was just 92 points out of the top six finishers in what was a tight competition throughout. Dupree placed eighth with 5,582 points at the USA Outdoor Championships last June in Indianapolis, Ind.
Four years after finishing fourth at the U.S. Olympic Trials in Sacramento, Calif., Hyleas Fountain won this year's crown going away with 6,667 points, while Jacquelyn Johnson was the runner-up with 6,347. Diana Pickler (6,257) edged Virginia Johnson (6,247) by a mere 10 points to secure the third and final spot on Team USA for the XXIX Olympiad in Beijing, China.
Dupree entered Saturday's final three events in eighth place after scoring 3,535 points in the first four competitions on Friday. She leaped 19 feet in the long jump and measured 118-9 in the javelin to stay in eighth place entering the final event.
In the 800-meter finale that was televised live on NBC, Dupree clocked a 2:22.40 to finish fifth among the top eight in the standings. However, her time was 10th overall between the two heats, as a pair of competitors -- Ashley Wilhelm and Jackie Poulson -- posted sub-2:18 efforts in the first heat to pass her in the final standings.
Elizabeth Roehrig was fifth overall in the field of 18 with 5,819 points, while Fiona Asigbee was sixth with 5,789. Wilhelm (5,747), Poulson (5,741) and Bettie Wade (5,723) were just ahead of Dupree, while Kasey Hill was close behind in 11th with 5,687 points.

Ft. Carson Soldier Murdered In Denver, Still No Arrests
Emotional Plea From Anthony Silva's Family
DENVER, Colo. - Ft. Carson Sgt. Anthony Silva had just gone on leave from the Army and was weeks away from being honorably discharged due to an injury. Denver Police still don't know who shot and killed him Saturday.
"He had his whole life ahead of him and it was stolen from him and from us that night," said Silva's dad, Dave Silva. "He was a wonderful boy, a wonderful man."
Anthony, 25, was staying at a Denver motel and waiting for his dad to drive from Illinois and take him home. Police said Silva was last seen walking his dog early Saturday morning near the the Motel 6 on the 3800 block of Paris Street. They said Silva was shot multiple times.
Silva's family said they didn't know why anyone would want to hurt him.
"It's horrible," said Anthony's mom, Diane Silva. "Whoever did this needs to pay."
At a news conference Tuesday, his family told our sister station KMGH that it was ironic that a soldier who spent five years overseas, first in Korea and then Afghanistan, returned safely from battle and then died in gunfire.
"I mean, he was about to come home you know?" said Anthony's younger brother, Joe Silva. "He's been gone for the last five years and this was going to be our bonding time finally."
Silva's body will be flown back to Columbia, Ill. on Thursday. People in the small town have draped American flags on Main Street for Silva's homecoming.
"Everybody back home, they're all praying right now for us," said Diane.
The Silva family is offering $2,000 for any tip that leads to an arrest in Anthony's death. If you have any information call Denver Crimestoppers at 720-913-STOP. KMGH reports that the Silvas hope to increase the reward to find his killer

PancakeRecipe ... and what does this have to do with the thread?
All Others ... Perhaps Beware!!
Welcome to the Quilting Board!
PancakeRecipe ... and what does this have to do with the thread?
All Others ... Perhaps Beware!!
Sew many ideas ... just sew little time!!
and since there are no amounts, i think we're dealing with a spammer!
i have been to paris, loved it!! i would LOVE to go back and see more of france. where will you be going? we could take suitcases full of fabric from our stashes, sell it to the french quilters and then be free to buy some french fabrics. i wonder, do they have the same fabric lines we do?
The only bad days are the ones you don't get.
This is a photo of a 4'x4' stained canvas I painted in college.
This is a 8" x8" muslin fabric on temtex, drawn and stained with sharpies
This is the backside, I like it best. Just posted to give you some ideas.
Just passing through!
Here is another, I just used two pieces of fabric and bonded them together, I still like the backside best. Its my try on Zen Tangle
Just passing through!
abd-- so wonderful! glad you have joined us! i love the progression of your work. i so rarely keep mine, but your re-working a concept, inspires me to think along those lines myself. i am still working on my snap dragon from last month. i am drawing the flowers themselves and i'm not terrific at realism, including in my day to day life, lol, so it is taking me some repetitions to get something reasonably similar to snapdragons that others might think that's what they are!
The only bad days are the ones you don't get.
So cool abdc, I love your creative expressions.
It's never too late to start over!
abd there are some great ideas in there. Thanks so much for sharing. It starts the wheels turning to get some of those creaky old ideas out there and into play again.
Author; I Don't Know Where I Want to Be -But it Isn't Here!
Great to see you here abd!
Your work is always a treat to see.
Leaving tomorrow for Marseilles & Aix. Did I mention we are foodies?
How do you say " fat quarter" in French?
Dotty in NYC
have a great trip, dottie!
The only bad days are the ones you don't get.
Back in NYC. There is not a lot of quilting in Provence but plenty of inspiration . The traditional fabrics seem most suitable for drapes, tablecloths, etc. I loved the damask but it was way too expensive for me. Bought one lovely print, about $15/yard US but 60" wide. Now... what was that June challenge? Happy Summer everyone! Winter, Suzy!

May 11, 2013 at 12:54 pm #1302812
W I S N E R !BPL Member
A short piece I just put up on my blog.
Following the Herd.
Or not.
Surfing a week ago was an excellent reminder of the pervasive herd mentality amongst us humans. While driving north, we witnessed all the big spots: Sunset, Topanga, Malibu…all overrun with the typical crowds. Yet we found waves just as good with nobody on them.
We were willing to take a chance and not find surf. We were willing to be creative. We we're willing to walk a little bit further. We were willing to get up a little bit earlier. We were willing to drive a little bit more.
But most important, we were willing to go to places that people don't talk about, places that aren't "surf spots", places that don't appear in the reports or register amongst the internet chatter. Accordingly, we don't write reports and post pictures that can identify these places.
Because the herd seems capable of only going places it has been told about.
Which has me thinking about all the local beauty that surrounds me, the little canyons and peaks and surf breaks that don't get much attention, little gems that sit silently waiting in my own backyard. The tiny walk-in campgrounds that are easily accessible for overnight trips, yet are just out of reach of the majority of the herd. Small, unnamed rock outcroppings and points that can generate a fun wave without attracting crowds. I think about all the little places I've seen that have been on my radar for years, yet for some reason, have failed to get back to for further exploration. David Chenault touches on this in a recent post here . I was especially struck by this idea: "The second principle is that while living somewhere which makes you always want to travel is bad, living somewhere that is so good you never want to leave is worse."
I think I have found a very happy medium here in the foothills of the San Gabriel Mountains. My son and I will shoulder packs and head out this afternoon on a short backpack to check out another local spot we've never seen. Hopefully the drive and the hike will have thinned the herd.May 11, 2013 at 5:49 pm #1985379

I get the impression you are lumping all those people at the crowed places into one group. There can be many reasons why they went there
– close by
– easy parking
– a lot of food places
– watch the girls
– watch the boys
– just to kill a few minutes
– just need to touch up their tan
– safety
– price of gas limits where they go
– surfing with friend who like the area
It doesn't mean they are a herd – everyone following.
Something to meditate on is what initiated your thought for the juxtaposition in the first place?
Why did you choose the differences you did to comment upon?
Stephen M.R. Covey – "We judge ourselves by our intentions and others by their behavior."
When you judge another, you do not define them, you define yourself.

"Because the herd seems capable of only going places it has been told about."
Other than the above quote, I didn't see this as a judgmental OP, more of a general observation.
When I read the OP, I thought about my Wonderland hike scheduled for August. Like the JMT, AT, PCT, BLT, etc this could certainly be considered a herd activity. The Wonderland has lots of red tape, only allowed to camp in designated sites, portions of the trail are within earshot of the road, access to privies, and three locations to pick up resupplies in 93 miles, hardly a wilderness experience.
But the Wonderland is popular for a reason. It offers some challenges for the average Joe with combined 44k' of ups and downs, the scenery is gorgeous, and many opportunities to see wildlife. The only other hiker on that trail I have any interest to see is my 12 y/o daughter who is joining me. I'd rather there weren't so many people and it'd be great if I could (responsibly) camp anywhere I please but I have to take the good with the bad.
So likening the Wonderland to a crowded beach…. I'm very capable of hiking elsewhere and I don't feel that my experience will somehow less special because of the volume of traffic.
Any time I want to witness herd activity, I just logon to Facebook and read the memes du jour. Apparently we're on the edge of being forced into slums, FEMA concentration camps, and DHS is preparing to invade the U.S. with 2700 MRAPs and a gazillion rounds of ammo! Gotta love groupthink.
FWIW I live in the desert portion of Washington and we've already reached 96* in May. I get my share of tumbleweed hiking but I enjoy seeing the pictures of the desert in your area Nick. It definitely has a different flavor than the Palouse.May 13, 2013 at 9:29 am #1985754

My friend and I are hiking this Saturday to a popular, local peak.
There are more interesting places. Places with less people and perhaps more scenic.
But this peak is able to be reached easily from his home and let him be back by early afternoon.
Perhaps we are following the herd.
But when you have two small children, time is a valuable commodity.
I also value the friendship we both have.
So we found a way to spend hiking and still allow him to fulfill his role as a father.
Following the herd? Maybe.
Or maybe we just found a way that allows him to balance his responsibilities as a parent, husband and a friend.May 13, 2013 at 9:36 am #1985756

I've gone to Jellystone, Yosemite and a few other places, there is a good reason they are so popular. Hit the good spots to see what it is all about, then go to the out of the way spots. I live in an area where I can either drive a short distance, or simply take off from my yard for however long of a distance I want to put in, winter or summer. Works for me.

Quite a lot of defense of the herd here.
I guess some of us think like predators and some of us think like prey. (Insert winking smiley face wearing sunglasses with its tongue out here so people don't flip out)
Of course there are reasons to follow the crowds; crowded places are often that because they offer something exceptional..if not simple convenience.
But there are ample reasons to not follow.
I'm struck by how often I find a hidden gem somewhere that seems to be completely off the collective radar…yet exists well within the range of really well traveled areas. The High Sierra is rife with these spots, many only mere miles from some of the most well traveled trails in the country. It strikes me that people can forget that there are other options out there.May 13, 2013 at 7:35 pm #1985918

Craig, I agree about many places folks miss while bping the JMT Highway. I've said this before, I've been a few miles from the JMT and seen very scenic lakes, one, the prettiest I've ever been to after a good snow year, the snow still hanging in there in early August. Plus, not seeing anyone for four days, never staying in the same place more than one night.

For me, I think it's more about trying to avoid having my experience defined by others. I admit that I find it hard to put my own spin on a trip, a view, a place or an experience when there are a hundred strangers there pointing cameras, chattering and congregating around a point.
Don't forget though that avoiding the herd doesn't always mean going further or harder. When my kids were little, they taught me that you could get away just as easily by stopping only a few ks from the carpark. The views and the experience didn't just magically start 10km out, and you could finangle some peace and beauty by stopping for the night at the point everyone else was pulling their water bottles out for the first drink.
I ponied up for my away time by taking the kids with me. Which led to my wife deciding that she was missing out, and refusing to stay home the next time.May 14, 2013 at 6:22 am #1985973

Not defending "The Herd" but rather questioning the tone of the article.
It is good to get off the beaten path and explore different areas.
Safe to say I wander off the beaten path, but that's not an option for everyone for various reasons.
While I can agree with the sentiment of the article (get away from the crowds, explore a different place), the article did come off a little like those people in an urban record store who wear the Buddy Holly glasses: "I know this obscure band you've never heard of..therefore I am cooler, hipper and more in the know than you. :)"May 14, 2013 at 7:46 am #1985987

I think that true "away from the herd" existence happens within. Sometimes out of the way physical travel can help to accomplish this … sometimes not. The mind's relationship to the physical space is what's key. I can go to more out of the way places in a day, just sitting in my little white room, than most people visit in a lifetime.
Sometimes the man on the street, at first glance appears to be part of the herd, but if you look inside him you will see much differently. Not to get too creepy, but the recent Cleveland thing is an excellent example.May 14, 2013 at 1:11 pm #1986056

Trying to find a shot on Photobucket I just came across a "herd" walk I did last year.
Because it is well maintained and advertised I put it off for a few years but a mate convinced me to do it.
The first day in , it started to rain. It rained heavily all night.
The next morning the other 2 lots of walkers walked out, so we had the trail to
ourselves.. (you can only do it one way)
nice and sunny after that, no one about.
So here are some pics from the herd walk :

I like the herd hikes because they are so close. And the secret to avoiding the herd is to go early. Just this weekend I was out the door at 5:30 and back home by 9:30. Only saw 1 person going up and 1 group of 3 coming down. Two hours later and this place is a steady stream of hikers up and down. I had breakfast on the summit all to myself for about 20 minutes before heading down.
Hikes like these are my weekend compromises to do hikes every week. I like to be home by noon to spend the rest of the day with family. So the close in hikes with well defined trails and quick rewards are definitely the ones I focus on.
I do like to escape to the random camping areas of the alpine and hike through alpine meadows and trailess passes but those trips for me need to be planned ahead to work with schedules so a quick hike before the herd arrives is often what I need.

Yep, this will hopefully be simply a case of me buying this costume bit by bit.
With so many superb experts making items, I thought I would simply buy myself a good costume (for once).
So far I have a helmet and armour fully finished from RS Prop Masters, a vest from clothears, some CA Boots and a blaster on order from Sidewinder.
I'm hoping to get nearly everything from RS and Clothears, especially after seeing Clothears new Fett flight suit.
Although I won't have the sense of achievement of making anything on this costume, I will have the sense of achievement in working the many hours to pay for it
I'll add new things as I get them.

Reviews of this property
Nice stay in debbie's place. Confortable and cosy appartment. Good localisation in brooklyn! We Will recommand it!!
The apartment is well equipped and quickly makes one feel home. Debbie was a very welcoming host and was available for all questions. We did have problems with the heating, as there is only one control for the whole house, but we managed to get over it. The neighbourhood with its lovely victorian-style houses was nice and it was a pleasure to discover new places for coffee or lunch on our way to the different subway stations, that are all reachable in 10-15 min walk. From our door to real downtown it took us app. 40 min. We stayed here (2 adults, 1 teen) for 2 weeks, so the it was a good starting point for our trips. This place is definitely worth booking, esp. if it is for more than a week.
Everything was great. The apartment is beautiful and clean and the neighbourhood too. Debbie is a really nice, helpful host. We loved our stay!
Unser Aufenthalt in Brooklyn bei Debbie war wunderschön. Debbie ist sehr freundlich und stets hilfsbereit, die Wohnung ist schön mit freundlicher Nachbarschaft. Die U-Bahn nach Downtown Manhattan war kein Problem.
Wir können Debbie und das Appartement gerne weiterempfehlen!
Vielen Dank Debbie!!
Wie loved to be with Debbie in Brooklyn. Debbie is very kind and always helpfull. The apartement is nice and the neighbourhood friendly. We had a good connection to downtown by subway. We would love to come back soon to meet Debbie again!!
Dirty house with peeling walls and doors. There is no table to eat but only the kitchen counter with 3 chairs and we were 4 people. On our arrival the sheets for the sofa were crowed in a wardrobe and do not smelled clean!
We are pleased with our stay in the apartment
Debbie was waiting for us when we arrived, warm and considerate
The downsides are: lack of brightness in the housing about the sofa bed, it is moderately comfortable
The plus of the accommodation: garden, maintained some certainly, but nice
Nous sommes satisfaits de notre sejour dans l'appartement
Debbie nous attendait à notre arrivée, accueil chaleureux et prévenant
Les bémols sont : manque de luminosité dans le logement quant au canapé lit , il est moyennement confortable
Le petit plus du logement :le jardin ,peu entretenu certes,mais bien agréable
Debbie The apartment is nice and good for 3 max. Crockery very limited in quantity, 3 seats in the kitchen and sofa bed very comfortable if you have to sleep there 2. Beware of smoke detector that is triggered when you heat something. Access to the garden is nice, morning sun. It is a pity that the garden is not maintained ...
Debbie is very nice but very, even too quiet. She lives above and we would have appreciated it more available to welcome us.
Otherwise, the area is quiet and the metro is not too far away (10 min walk).
L'appartement de Debbie est agréable et bien pour 3 maxi. Vaisselle très limitée en quantité, 3 sièges dans la cuisine et canapé lit peu confortable si on doit y dormir à 2. Attention au détecteur de fumée qui se déclenche dès que vous faites chauffer quelque chose. L'accès sur le jardin est sympa, soleil le matin. C'est dommage que le jardin ne soit pas entretenu...
Debbie est fort sympathique mais très, voire trop discrète. Elle habite au-dessus et nous aurions apprécié qu'elle soit plus disponible pour nous accueillir.
Sinon, le quartier est calme et le métro n'est pas trop loin (10 mn à pied).
Just perfect
Quiet neighborhood it changes the noise manhattan, sympathetic neighbors and nothing to say about housing
Debbie was here to answer our questions if necessary
I will return without problem
Juste parfait
Quartier calme ca change du bruit de manhattan, voisinage sympatique et rien a dire sur le logement
Debbie etait la pour repondre a nos questions si besoin
Je reviendrai sans probleme

You are going to owe tax on that money if you roll it into a roth. If you roll it into a traditional IRA you won't pay tax on it. It will be deferred.
Also, I've read that I would need to make sure that the brokerage that is accepting the 401k carries the same investments, so they can just accept the "shares" that I own in my portfolio?
You're going to cash out of your existing fund and they will transfer the money to the new fund, which will have its own investment options. When you open the new account you will specify the allocation of incoming monies among the investment options.
Ok, I was confused about that... I thought I had read that if I cashed out, I would then be taxed. But I see what you are saying.
Is there any advantage to paying the taxes now and putting it into a Roth IRA as opposed to a regular IRA?
Is there any advantage to paying the taxes now and putting it into a Roth IRA as opposed to a regular IRA?
The advantage to a Roth IRA is that you pay no tax on the earnings and the appreciation of the account. If you're a young man, it makes sense to pay the tax up front on your contributions and then pay no tax on the accumulated earnings for 30-40 years. I wish I had had that option when I was younger.
The rules for rolling money into a Roth IRA are somewhat complicated. For one thing, you need to come up with the amount of the income tax out of pocket and not from the account itself. I think I would look at either leaving the money where it is or rolling it into another 401K and then opening a new Roth IRA and making your future contributions to it.
I have absolutely no idea. I just use the system I'm on. Never even seen an online account
1.) Roth or Traditional IRA
2.) Low Cost Investments (Index Funds, ETFs, Tax Free Municipal Bonds)
3.) Insurance Products
4.) Plead with your employer to get a 401k/403b/SEP-IRA
5.) Kids? 529 funds
6.) Health Savings Account?

Prep Time 30 min
Total Time 60 min.
Step 1
Preheat oven to 375°F. Coat a 9-inch tart pan with a removable bottom with nonstick spray.
Step 2
To make crust: Spread oats in another pie pan and bake, stirring occasionally, until toasted, 6 to 12 minutes. Let cool. Place the oats in a food processor and process until coarsely ground.
Step 3
Stir together oats, flour, sugar, baking powder and salt in a large bowl. Drizzle oil onto dry ingredients and use a fork or your fingers to blend until crumbly. Using a fork, stir in water, 1 tablespoon at a time, until dough just comes together.
Step 4
Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and knead 7 to 8 times. Roll the dough out to an 11-inch circle, dusting with flour if necessary. Transfer the dough to prepared pan, pressing to fit. Trim edges. (If necessary, use scraps to patch any holes in crust.)
Step 5
To make filling & bake: Spread 1/2 cup pecans on a baking sheet and bake until fragrant, 5 to 10 minutes. Let cool and coarsely chop.
Step 6
Whisk brown sugar, eggs, egg whites, corn syrup, vinegar, butter, vanilla and salt in a medium bowl until smooth. Stir in dried cranberries and the chopped pecans. Spoon filling into crust. Arrange remaining 1/2 cup pecans on top of the filling.
Step 7
Bake the tart until filling is set and crust is golden, 20 to 25 minutes. Cool completely in the pan on a wire rack.

Where I stayed
Carlsbad KOA
Arriving at the caverns, we took an excursion walk, 1.5 miles winding down 750 feet. Walking thru was amazing. We walked for about 4 1/2 hours winding thru the rock formations. The temperature was around 56, with 90% humidity.(Great hair day!!).
Upon returning to the campground, we went swimming. We had a visitor that came running along the poolside. A tarantula was making his way straight to us. I took several pictures after getting it on a pool noodle in the middle of the water. There were 2 more just wandering down the road on our way back to our cabin.
We had decided last night not to tent camp. We had moved into a nice cabin for the night. The visit to Carlsbad has been great.

As you spend enough time with your friends and peers, you are very much influence by each other habits and attitude. Most commonly teens attract towards bad habits soon.

Excerpt: Ahmad Bradshaw has done a considerable amount of talking since being released by the New York Giants a week ago. His future is often part of the conversation, of course. Another topic has been asked about is the man who will replace him as the starting running back with the Giants -- 2012 first-round pick David Wilson.
There were many questions from the fan base during the 2012 season about why Wilson's role in the offense was limited in 2012. He carried the ball only 71 times and barely sniffed the field during a two-game stretch where Bradshaw -- with Andre Brown out -- carried 57 times in two games." Read more...
"He is a great talent," Bradshaw said on "NFL AM." "He is lightning fast. A lot of his talent comes from his speed, how quick he is. If he can stay focused, he will be very good asset to the Giants just with his speed and what he brings to the game."

I inspected my 4 hives today. They were 4 frame nucs installed in 10 frame brood boxes on May 20th.
All 4 appear about same no real growth in the number of frames....
All activity is still in 4 frames. Some comb starting in other frames but minimal....
A queen was spotted in one of the hives,
I have not seen any eggs but might not be able to see them - Newbeee...I did find a queen cell that openned not destroyed - so? maybe new queen??
lots of leathery brood cells
one foundation had what looked like uncapped brood cells with white large larvae in them?
The weather was warm and we just had a week of cool wet weather.
The bees sound fine very calm with minimal smoke....
Today they are entering with tons of pollen in their sacs....
My question is without seeing eggs how can you tell whether its healthy or not.
At this rate will they even fill one 10 frame brood box by end of summer 4 months?
I was expecting them to be further along, is there anything I can do to strengthen the colony
I fed sugar water 3-1 up until a week ago, they were sucking it up like crazy (then I read on here you shouldnt feed??)
Is there a way to suplement them to help them feed, pollen etc?
So confused.. Any help?

Scoop! Scoop! McNerney Votes for Health Care Bill
Original post made by Rick Pshaw, Danville, on Sep 24, 2010
Perhaps he should take advantage of the Obama-care bill and have some memory tests run on possible selective memory loss.
Oh, I almost forgot, Obama-care does not apply to members of congress. They have their own sacrosanct health-care package that is quite a bit better than the one they foisted on the American public. (Maybe I need a memory test myself for almost forgetting such a blatant abuse of power.)
a resident of Danville
on Sep 24, 2010 at 11:40 pm
Our fine Congressman Jerry McNerney made the right vote on Health Care reform for our district 11 and for the country. Jerry McNerney and Pres Obama were elected by a large majority and as expected delivered on the promised Health Care reform. This is the American way and one the reason we have elections. It was certainly a tough issue and it takes leaders like McNerney to take on such tough issues.

Chet: Yes, the American way will vote both McNerney and Obama out of office, before those two bankrupt our great country with their socialistic tax schemes.

Without the help of any GOPers it has been Pres Obama along with our fine Congressman Jerry McNerney that led us all out of the Great Bush/GOP Recession. We are not going to go back to the same policies that got us into that mess. The GOPers are hurting us all. They won't even support tax breaks for small business and extending the reduced taxes for the middle class. We have a growing economy again and will never be fooled again and return to GOP policies.
a resident of Danville
on Sep 25, 2010 at 12:24 pm
The cause for the recession can be laid at the feet of Barney Frank and his liberal buddies and we are not going to go back to the same policies and people that got us into that mess.
The democrat liberals are hurting us all by not extending the Bush tax cuts. If the tax cuts are not extended it is the same as a TAX INCREASE. Our economy is on the ropes and a massive tax increase could push us over the edge.
a resident of Danville
on Sep 25, 2010 at 2:01 pm
Beyond any doubt or even the most wild imagination it was Bush policy and lack his lack of control and understanding that led to the Great Bush Recession. Controls have been put in place and we currently have a President and Congress that are making the right moves and led us out of the Bush Recession. If the GOPers get some sense we will have continued middle class tax relief and new tax breaks for companies with fewer than 500 employees. These are the people that need the continued tax relief in these hard times. These are also the size business that need new tax relief as they are also the size businesses that create the majority of new jobs. But the GOPers will try to stay in the way of this needed change as they only know how to say no.
a resident of Danville
on Sep 25, 2010 at 2:37 pm
Beyond any doubt or even the most wild imagination, this is the Obama recession. After spending trillions of stimulus dollars, nothing has been stimulated. I sympathize with the women who said to Obama's face that she is exhausted waiting for change. If she thinks that she's exhausted now, wait until the TAX INCREASE become active.
Controls have been put in place by a President and Congress that are limiting our liberties and freedom on a daily basis.
The GOP says yes to TAX CUTS because that's the only ethical way there is to create jobs and wealth. Wealth doesn't come out of a printing press no matter how much the libs want you to believe it.
a resident of Danville
on Sep 25, 2010 at 5:06 pm
Sorry to bore you with the facts but thanks the leadership of Pres Obama and the Democrats the Great Bush recession ended last year. We again have a growing GNP. We have a long ways to go and if the GOPers find any sense and go along with extending the tax breaks for the middle class and new tax breaks for small business we will speed up the recovery.
a resident of Danville
on Sep 25, 2010 at 8:22 pm
Just because some left-wing organization made up a fictional "end of the recession" declaration doesn't mean it's true. Facts don't bore me but falsehoods (lies) bore me to tears.
By the way, why do we need to speed up the recovery since the recession ended last year? Do you feel recovered?
a resident of Diablo
on Sep 27, 2010 at 7:19 am
Recovery would be an excellent place for Mr. Pshaw.

Welcome to the 2013-14 school year at PR-B
A wonderful, fun and relaxing summer can't compare with the anticipation of a new school year, especially here at Pine River-Backus.
Teachers and staff have been at school getting ready — setting up classrooms, reviewing curriculum, attending professional development sessions — and our students have been here, too. Smiling faces greet me every day as our summer school students, fall sports athletes and community education participants are in the classrooms, gymnasiums and even out and about training for cross country, or bug collecting, or gardening!
Pine River-Backus Schools are always busy with lots of positive energy and a focus on personal growth and learning. Equally busy are our parents and students getting ready to get back to the school routine of learning, studying and working — not to mention extracurricular sports, arts and service learning.
Here are a few tips to help you get back into your family routine from EducationWorld:
• Set a firm, reasonable bedtime. Students need plenty of rest, especially as they readjust to the school year schedule.
• Take time for a healthy breakfast each day — free for all students at school! Children who eat well before school have the energy to take advantage of important instruction.
• Find a place for every thing, and put everything in its place. The beginning of the year is the time to set routines that will avoid lost backpacks and materials.
As I've had the opportunity to attend "back to school" preparation sessions, I've heard colleagues and nationally recognized professionals talk about what's important for today's students. The conversations are interesting and recognize that the many years of "high stakes" testing required by No Child Left Behind and the global trend to standardize curriculum — today's Common Core — may deter from the skills students need to be successful tomorrow.
The most recent research — yes, and it is always changing to keep up with our changing world — indicates that today's students need to be creative, curious and critical thinkers. Tomorrow's successful people will be entrepreneurial and have some variation of these characteristics: inspiration, creativity, courage, direct and fortitude.
They will see opportunity, have foresight and be ambitious, passionate, confident, innovative, willing to take risks, socially competent and persistent (Zhao 2012). The future challenge to making a living requires the ability to see problems and develop new solutions. Many will find their ways as new entrepreneurs. not only in the business world, but also in the world of politics, social values and education.
As a result, educators and parents are challenged to ensure that our children's natural sense of creativity and curiosity is encouraged and developed. So, a few more tips from the Center for Development and Learning:
1. Model creativity.
2. Question assumptions.
3. Look at problems differently.
4. Encourage different ideas.
5. Give students time to be creative.
6. Reward creative ideas, even when they're not perfect.
7. Encourage sensible risk.
8. Tolerate ambiguity and mistakes.
9. Identify and surmount obstacles.
10. Teach self responsibility and delayed gratification.
11. Encourage creative collaboration and other/new viewpoints.
12. Find excitement.
We shouldn't have a problem finding excitement over the next few weeks, so enjoy and know you're nurturing creativity. On behalf of all of us — the school board, administrators, teachers and support staff — welcome to the 2013-14 PR-B school year and we are proud to be PR-B!

Guppy fry
Hey I'm in Richmond, I know that's not real close to where you are at but I had some a female guppy a while back that had some babies and my boyfriend has been raising them for me because I didn't have a place for them. Some are still pretty small but they're some that are pretty big and you can already see their colors coming out. They look like they're going to be really pretty guppies once they get full grown. We've asked LFS, Petsmart, and they won't take them even if we were going to give them away. I don't know if it's too late but if you're interested in some really healthy guppies either now or later when they get more mature, let me know. I'm trying to find a good home for them and I'm not having much luck. I can get you pictures later on today, tomorrow at the latest. I only have about maybe 10 left if not less. There was some that didn't make it but they had spinal deformities but the rest are in good health. If you're still looking let me know, you can either email me or pm me here.

This is only my second year, but it looks to me like there are some pretty good reasons to look in fairly regularly.
1) When a flow is on you need to check to see if they need more room or if you have honey that you could harvest.
2) When there's a dearth of necter you might want to check to make sure they don't starve.
3) If you live in an area where SHB are a potential problem, you need to make sure they aren't getting out of hand - there's no way of knowing other than opening it up that I'm aware of.
4) If they requeen for any reason that is all well and good, but if the new queen doesn't make it back from mating, and you don't take action you might have to deal with a laying worker when a frame of brood would have taken care of everything.
5) If you don't do inspections you might miss chances to make increase and prevent swarms - or at least minimize their impact.
I probably pester my bees more than I (or they) need - but it's not as much of an issue now that I have a few more hives. I say that as long as you are in learning mode get in there (or don't) when ever you see fit. When you are no longer in learning mode - well, I guess you'll be wanting a good rocking chair - or a new hobby.

The Phoenix's Colbert Report video collection
Puppet government: Four-score-or-so years ago, Will Rogers began a comedic political tradition. By David Bianculli
I ruined Stephen Colbert's coffee: Behind the scenes at Comedy Central. By Sean Bartlett
As both a humorist and a political and media commentator, Colbert is a stealth bomber. A gladiator of mockery. A comedy Rambo. He's the most dangerous satirist out there right now, and neither the writers' strike nor his failure to get on the presidential-primary ballot in his native state of South Carolina will stall his advance for long.
In fact, Colbert has reached such revered status at this juncture that even in a period of relative inactivity — not doing a show, not running for president — people are talking about him, wondering about him, and waiting for his next move. He's the Al Gore of Comedy Central: even if he can't or won't run for office, he is nevertheless building anticipation. (Can a Nobel Prize be far off?)
And, like Gore, he knows it. The question is, now that he knows he has the public's attention and the media transfixed, where will he strike next? Or is not striking, and laying back, the smarter play? Colbert is nothing if not smart, and that's why you have to watch him — even if, at least right now on TV, you can't.
He's dangerous not only because his wit is so sharp, but because, in a clearly defined Red State–Blue State landscape, he unpredictably cuts both ways. When he broke his wrist in July before a show taping, Colbert turned it into a satiric opportunity by starting a campaign against "wrist violence." He started wearing and distributing what he called a "WristStrong bracelet," a red plastic oval similar to — and gently poking fun at — Lance Armstrong's cancer-fighting yellow LiveStrong bracelets and the breast-cancer-awareness pink bracelets. He got Katie Couric of CBS and Brian Williams of NBC to wear one, then generated a comic mini-scandal when ABC's Charles Gibson wouldn't.
Poking fun at cancer awareness and liberal charities? Who is this guy? But then, after spending months collecting signatures on his cast — not only those of Couric and Williams, but of Bill O'Reilly, Tim Russert, Nancy Pelosi, and others — Colbert auctioned it on eBay in September. It sold for $17,200, and the proceeds went to returning war veterans.
He attacked Barry Manilow for winning the Emmy in a category in which Colbert was competing, then had him on The Colbert Report to sing a peace-pipe duet. He attacked Willie Nelson for having a rival flavor of Ben & Jerry's ice cream, then challenged him to a taste-off. Attack, then embrace — the strategy seems playful, even harmless, especially when the targets are cute-and-cuddly pop-culture figures. But other times, when he's embracing, he's really attacking — as when he visited The O'Reilly Factor or stood behind a podium to address the Washington press corps.

Get Ready for Spring
The sun has finally come out of hiding; it's time to get outside! At LUSH, we can't wait to start digging around in the garden, riding our bikes and hanging out by the beach (we're lucky here in Vancouver). Spring also means paying attention to those parts of your body that get more exercise this time of year; hands and feet! To get keep your feet in beautiful condition, start by treating your soles to a soak in mango and cocoa butter infused waters with a You've Been Mangoed bath melt. Gently scrub away dead skin with Stepping Stone foot scrub, allowing the fresh lemongrass oil and fine sea salt to soften you up. Finish by massaging in a good dollop of Fair Trade Foot Lotion for smooth, minty feet! Don't forget; your hands need a little love and care too. For getting rid of hard or calloused skin, we recommend rubbing our ginger and fennel Sugar Scrub between your hands. The sugar will slough away dead skin while the lavender oil soothes. Massage in Handy Gurugu, our thickest hand cream for dry, cracked hands. We blend four different kinds of nut butters with shea, rose oil and fresh lemon juice into Handy Gurugu to soften even the roughest hands-perfect for those with a green thumb! For those impossibly rough spots on hands or feet, try a dab of our vegan moisturizing balm; Ultrabalm.

"The differences that exist in the world are something that we should appreciate," he said. "In the context of today's society, it is almost our duty to know what other people are like and what other people do in order to create a sense of global responsibility."
In addition to his studies, McInnerney is an officer in UTSA's Pre-Med Society, a volunteer for Big Brothers Big Sisters of South Texas in San Antonio and a member of the Golden Key International Honor Society.
Holly Hill, assistant director of study abroad and exchanges, calls McInnerney the "poster child for the study abroad program," because he has worked hard to overcome obstacles and pursue his study in New Zealand. According to Hill, studying abroad is a realistic goal for many students.
"You don't have to be any particular major," she said. "You don't have to have straight As and you don't have to be super rich. Basically any student can go."
Students such as McInnerney can take advantage of this unique opportunity to represent UTSA in other countries by contacting an adviser in the Office of International Programs. They also can attend the Study Abroad Fair on Sept. 12 at Sombrilla Plaza on the 1604 Campus.
