Mudslide closes Highland Way
Highland Way in the Santa Cruz Mountains has been closed due to a mudslide, Santa Cruz County Public Works officials reported.
The road initially was flooded during heavy rain Sunday afternoon. A mudslide then landed on the road and blocked all traffic, according to the county's website at www.sccroadclosure.org.
County leaders said Wednesday that the mud needs to harden and likely will be cleared next week.
Outage cuts power downtown
Power was knocked out for more than 120 homes and businesses Wednesday evening in downtown Santa Cruz.
PG&E reported the outage about 4:50 p.m. By 6:20 p.m., several blocks near Pacific Avenue, Maple and Cedar streets remained without electricity as a PG&E crew repaired it.
A call to PG&E for more information was not immediately returned.

The Charlotte Hounds on Saturday night dropped their opening game of the 2013 season, falling 21-16 to the Denver Outlaws in front of 3,192 fans at American Legion Memorial Stadium in Charlotte. The Outlaws' Chris Bocklet was named Player of the Game for a five-goal performance, while Matt Danowski led the Hounds with seven points on five goals and two assists.
The Hounds won the opening faceoff and got on the board first, thanks to an unassisted goal by Danowski just 1:40 into the game, and then pushed that lead to 3-0 with 2:02 to go in the first on scores from Jovan Miller and Kyle Wimer. However, the Outlaws were able to pull within one on back-to-back goals less than a minute apart by Justin Turri and Bocklet to end the quarter with the Hounds up 3-2.
Bocklet then scored the opening goal of the second quarter to tie the game at 5 with 13:07 to play in the half. The Hounds responded with back-to-back goals from Josh Amidon and Ryan Young, his first with the team, but momentum then shifted in favor of the Outlaws. They scored three straight, including a goal from Terry Kimener in which he faked low and scored high to give the Outlaws their first lead of the game, 6-5, with 8:29 remaining in the half. Danowski got the Hounds right back in it, first working his way from behind the cage to rip a one-hander by Outlaws goalie Jesse Schwartzman, then followed up with an assist on Chris Cudmore's first MLL goal, which put the Hounds back in front 7-6. But Jeremy Sieverts then scored two straight, including a 2-pointer, to give the Outlaws a 10-7 lead with 1:02 remaining in the half. The Hounds cut the lead back to two, 10-8, with a goal in the waning seconds from Joe Cinosky.
Kimener less than a minute into the second half started a three-goal run for the Outlaws that extended their lead to 11-8. It was Danowski who again stepped up for the Hounds, stopping the run with back-to-back goals, the second thanks to a forced turnover by Kevin Drew. The Hounds kept it rolling as Peet Poillon scored his first with the team and Young his second, to pull back within one, 13-12, with 7:01 to play in the third. But the Outlaws finished the quarter with a three-point advantage, 15-12, after goals by Turri and Bocklet.
The Outlaws kept it rolling into the fourth, with three more goals, including Kimener's third of the night, to push the lead to 17-12. The Hounds cut that in half with a 2-point goal from Amidon, but the Outlaws rattled off another three goals to take a 20-14 advantage with 3:47 left in the game. Bocklet scored his fifth of the night sandwiched between Hounds goal from Ricky Pages and Danowski to account for the 21-16 final. Hounds goalie Mark Manos in his first full MLL game finished with 15 saves on 35 shots.
The Hounds next week travel to Rochester, NY to face the Rattlers in a Sunday matinee game at Sahlen's Stadium. The Rattlers are coming off a 17-14 loss to the Chesapeake Bayhawks.

021414 el paso consulate killings conviction
EL PASO, Texas - An alleged Barrio Azteca leader has been found guilty on all counts in the trial for the killing of a U.S. Consulate employee and an El Paso County corrections officer.
Prosecutors accused Arturo Gallegos-Castrellon of being a part of the March 13, 2010 ambush of Leslie Ann Enriquez and her husband, Arthur Redelfs.
Early during the trial, prosecutors called on a U.S. Border Patrol agent who runs the surveillance cameras at the Paso del Norte bridge. She was able to capture the car chase and shooting in Juarez.
An ABC-7 news manager saw the video as it was played for the court, but was not able to record images because media can't take equipment inside the federal courthouse.
The video shows the Redelfs' white SUV travelling along Juarez's border highway followed closely by a black car
The car drives up to the SUV and a man sitting outside the passenger side window fires -- almost point blank -- into the Redelfs' vehicle.
The Redelfs were found dead but their daughter survived the ambush.
The husband of another Consulate employee was also killed.
Gallegos-Castrellon is an alleged member of the Aztecas Gang and linked to a drug cartel.
He also faces drug trafficking and money laundering charges.
Gallegos-Castrellon made some serious allegations of his own when he was extradited from Mexico in 2012. He claimed he and his wife were tortured after his arrest in Juarez.
The defendant said the officers who tortured him were acting on behalf of the U.S. Government.
Gallegos-Castrellon has been behind bars at the El Paso County Jail since his extradition.
He is one of 35 defendants named in an indictment, 33 are in custody, six are awaiting extradition to the U.S. and and a total of 25 people have pleaded guilty.

According to Coulter (in an interview in the New York Observer earlier this week):
If we took away women's right to vote, we'd never have to worry about another Democrat president. It's kind of a pipe dream, it's a personal fantasy of mine, but I don't think it's going to happen. And it is a good way of making the point that women are voting so stupidly, at least single women.Now, for some reason I don't think this is going to go over very well with either Democrat-leaning or Republican-leaning women.
Coulter has made some outlandish statements, for example, referring to John Edwards as a "f*ggot" earlier in the year, but this really takes the cake.

ISLAMORADA -- Two delayed supermarket projects on Upper Matecumbe Key have taken on new looks in recent weeks.
Publix developers submitted a new site plan to the village on July 8 and Winn-Dixie developers submitted their new plan on June 20.
For the Winn-Dixie project, which has been delayed for some two years due to a variety of issues, including financial problems, the submission of a new site plan means that developers will have to once again go before the Village Council for approval.
Time, though, is running short. The proposed mile marker 81 market received 15,561 square feet of building rights from the council in May. But those rights will expire in December if the new builder, Win-Development LLC, doesn't obtain a building permit by then.
First, though, the plan has to be reviewed by the Planning Department and then survive that council vote.
"It's going to be tight," Senior Village Planner Kevin Bond said of the timeframe.
Bellaire Beach-based Win-Development took over the project in June, after lender Preferred Income Partners IV got clear title to the market site from would-be developer Net5FDA through a foreclosure, said Owen Ewing, a managing member for the new developer.
Their new site plan doesn't change the overall size of the proposed market, which is 29,000 square feet. What it does do is shift the store north on its property and move the truck loading zone from the south side of the building to the north side. Those changes are designed to allow Win-Development to move forward without purchasing the home of former Village Councilman Bob Johnson and without securing a cross-access agreement to the parking lot of the Galleria shopping plaza.
In the case of the Johnson house, the purchase had been needed under the old proposal because Net5 had planned to use a portion of the ex-councilman's yard for a required 20-foot vegetation buffer. By moving the building further north, along with the loading zone, the buffer can now be located entirely within the Winn-Dixie property.
As for the cross-access agreement, Win-Development will work instead with Morada Sands LLC, which owns the old Atlantic Grill property to the north of the market site. The cross-access will allow trucks to make their way to the new loading zone. A deal on the Galleria site was deemed impractical, Ewing said, since ownership of the property is currently being contested in a lawsuit.
"From an economic standpoint, it made more sense," he said of the new Winn-Dixie site plan.
In contrast to the Winn-Dixie group, Publix developers have moved their proposed market further south on its property.
The move would take some pressure off of the residential Russell Street to the south of the mile marker 82.5 site, which Boca Raton-based Equity Development Group had previously proposed as the lone entrance and exit for the 28,000-square-foot market.
That concept, however, met with substantial resistance from surrounding property owners, in part because Russell Street is the entrance to a neighborhood and in part because Island Community Church and the affiliated Island Christian School's elementary wing sit across Russell Street from the Publix property.
Equity had also proposed adding a lane to Russell Street to accommodate market traffic. The Village Council made it clear that it was not likely to support the extra lane at a meeting in April.
The new Publix proposal still would have a driveway off Russell Street. But there would be no third lane. In addition, customers and delivery trucks alike could utilize an entrance and exit off U.S. 1 on the north portion of the property.
However, said Bond, the proposed U.S. 1 entranceway could have difficulty receiving the approval of the Florida Department of Transportation because it would sit just 130 feet from the entrance to the adjacent Fish Bowl property, well below the FDOT requirement of 245 feet that is in place in case a turning lane is needed.
Bond said he has been pushing the Publix team, as well as the owners of the Fish Bowl site, to agree to a joint entrance along their property line.
The Fish Bowl is currently vacant, but the Miami Beach-based ownership team is working to bring a retail outlet there, partner Seth Gadinsky has told the Free Press. Gadinsky declined last week to say what type of retailer they have spoken with, but his Gadinsky Real Estate has worked frequently with Walgreens -- a company that has long sought an Islamorada location.
Gadinsky said that Equity Development's new site plan, with more of the parking on the Fish Bowl side of the building, makes a joint entrance more feasible.
"All of the parties, including the city, are trying to come to an agreement where everybody is happy and I believe we'll get there, but we're not there yet," he said.

It seems like the Mercury Milan's lot in life is to follow the Ford Fusion, go wherever the Fusion goes and do whatever the Fusion does. Thus it's no surprise that when spy photographers happened upon prototypes of the 2010 Ford Fusion out being tested, the 2010 Mercury Milan was not far behind. Comparing the two sets of spy shots, the Milan appears to be making a bigger departure from its previous look than the Fusion. Its grille retains vertical slats, but the grille itself is much wider pushing the new headlights farther out towards the corners. Just like the Fusion, the Milan also gets a new front bumper, but its lower air intake and fog lamps have been incorporated into the same space rather than being separated into three distinct elements. In these spy shots we also get a clearer view of the Milan's new taillights, which, while retaining the same shape as those found on the current model, appear to have new covers with new elements inside. All the new Mercury Milan spy shots can be found in the gallery below, so get to browsing. LINK
Well, I guess that answers my question in the other thread, give it a few minutes, the MKZ spy photos should be coming lol.
I hope so.
you sure that ins't the fusion?
-----------------how does it stay so small and skinny when it has single handedly eaten all those fat muscle cars?"I don't want the world, I only want what I deserve!"
Those headlights seem to be fitting with the rest of the Mercury lineup as well.
This thing looks so feminine.
WOW, is that a Cadillac sized rear logo on the trunk lid of the Mercury logo??? I sure hope so...But really I do NOT see anything new or interesting from the current model out...

I'm really liking this, I might even like the Milan more than the Fusion this go-around. It looks to be shaping up very nicely... now MKZ photos anyone?

The taillights are fake. Look closely and you'll see the current taillights. I like this.

Oh, I have no doubt that they're fake, I just wonder if they haven't decided what to do with the tail-lights??? I would think they would change it up a bit, you know
Looks like only a mild face lift. The current car isn't bad so if the interior is improved I would call it a success. If the interior is left unchanged then I wouldn't write home about it.

I think they're changing the lens colors.

I like the wider headlight lenses of the current Milan compared to the Fusion's current lenses. This new Milan's headlights are closer in shape to the current Fusion's, but I like the new grill. I'm anxious to see the revised interior.

Toearly to tell yet still have to play around with it to see what is new
its great to get to the boards from a foreign country (UK). had problems getting in but read and re-read instructions for success. the boards are nice.
So if someone could give me a hand, that would be much appreciated. I'm not sure where this username came from but it says that this is the one registered to my email. For some reason, my real account, WR4life, is not registered to my email address? I saw that some of you didn't have to reset your password for your accounts but it figures that I did. Can someone help me because I'd much rather get back on my old account and don't want to get stuck with this one.
I haven't been here in a few weeks and everything is different. It's about time.
Now, what did I do with my old avatar? It might still be on an old computer I threw out.
Found it. But why TF am I a "Junior Member"? I've been here since the Polo Grounds.

Developed by the renowned Project Aces development team at NAMCO BANDAI Games Inc. in Japan, ACE COMBAT JOINT ASSAULT is the latest in the acclaimed ACE COMBAT series of flight action games, and the second to appear on PSP following ACE COMBAT X in 2006. In the brand new ACE COMBAT JOINT ASSAULT, the nail-biting close-quarters combat and incredible visuals are completely re-designed to deliver maximum intensity and an accessible and fun experience for any fan of flight action.
Set in the skies over familiar real-world locations including Tokyo, London, San Francisco and more, players will step into the shoes of allied pilots and set out on numerous original missions to obliterate the enemy in fierce tactical dogfights. The new 'Enhanced Combat View' makes the intense combat more dynamic and believable to the player, making full use of the vast aerial environments to produce an incredible high-speed sensation and let players feel the raw exhilaration of delivering ace shots at supersonic speeds. All-new multi-strategic AI evolves the mission flow according to the player's choices throughout the campaign for an even richer depth of gameplay experience.
Alongside the new gameplay features, the team has focussed on producing the best visuals ever seen for a flight game on PSP while also significantly ramping up the online functionality. Multiplayer gameplay lets ace pilots get even with their foes in the eight player online versus mode, or cooperate with up to four friends in the co-op campaign mode. Let the tracers fly.

Nope, there's absolutely nothing wrong with using an existing engine. See this article.
Posted 20 July 2013 - 08:52 AM
Absolutely not, there's nothing wrong with using an existing engine.
Unless you want to build an engine for the sake of building an engine (or if there isn't one out there that suits your needs) then there's no sense re-inventing the wheel.
Posted 20 July 2013 - 02:45 PM
Well, I've read that you can make a game without using an engine, just the engine just takes care of like...half the coding for you or something.
Like, I think the indie game Don't Strave and Limbo were all build without an engine
Posted 20 July 2013 - 04:35 PM
Engines typically include a collection of commonly used functions and systems wrapped together for your convenience, such as physics managers and easy-to-use audio and graphics systems. A good engine can save you a lot of work, but sometimes you just want lower-level control so you can do something weird. Either way is fine.
You're probably best off learning C++, then picking up a common engine such as SDL and using that to get used to the design patterns used in game programming. If you start to feel like the engine you're using is holding you back, that's just a signal to start learning the lower level systems. That's not to say that you're switching from one to another. It just means that you're adding more tools to your toolkit. Even if you understand how to do everything without an engine, an engine can still save you a lot of time and effort, provided it's capable of doing what you need.
Another advantage of using a widely distributed code-base is that thousands of other people have been using it, so obvious bugs are more likely to have been dealt with already. If you roll your own then you end up having to do your own debugging.
Posted 20 July 2013 - 08:05 PM
I was already looking into UDK for my 3-d based game...but the wiki page lists a lot of engines
Posted 20 July 2013 - 08:10 PM
Guess, it's about reseach and seeing what engine does fit the sytle i"m looking in for a game project
Posted 21 July 2013 - 03:52 PM
There is nothing "wrong" with using a game engine, especially if the goal is to make the best game possible.
However, a lot of engine designers basically assume that the developer is familiar with the concepts of writing their own video game (i.e. their own engine) and if you don't have experience doing it without the engine, using some engines might be confusing, or downright unfathomable.
Of course this will vary depending on which engine it is and who its target audience is.
If the goal is to understand the concepts of video game operation, then using an engine may "muddy the water" somewhat by hiding some details from you and obfuscating others with its own terminology.
Posted 21 July 2013 - 06:33 PM
If your about to take an intro to c++ class I would suggest backing off from 3d - forget the "engine" portion just try and make a basic 2d game with some nice graphics and go from there. You will find that somehow you need to get the items to the screen, somehow you need to play sounds, somehow you need to detect collisions - then once you understand what you need find an "engine", or basically a set of classes/functions, that will do those things for you and use it.
Then from there you can try to make your own classes/functions that draw sprites to the screen using opengl or directx, your own functions/classes that take care of playing sounds, your own classes/functions that take care of collisions and you will have your own engine.
Or you can just always use already made frameworks to do this stuff for you since there are a lot of them out there and most have been performance tested pretty thoroughly, but if your like me you will want to re-invent the wheel just to understand how it works.
Bottom line - focus on a very basic, limited scope 2d graphics game before you go 3d - at least that is my suggestion for ya!
Posted 21 July 2013 - 10:31 PM
Just wondering if you've checked out Project Anarchy at all? The engine is C++ based and it ships with a lot of documentation. Developers can get up and running quite quickly and there are many samples you can read and modify to help with learning before having to understand everything that's going on in the background.
While some of the others aren't wrong here in that you can learn a lot by building something from scratch, that can also be quite daunting. There's a fair amount to consider when putting an engine together and with an existing engine, the ability to read a demo, make some changes and see the effect that has in your game quite quickly, often provides you with with impetus needed to keep you moving forward to completing your own project.
Posted 23 July 2013 - 02:54 PM
I can't really give effective experience advice, as I was kind of already into software development when I became interested in games.
But if you think that you are interested in programming and software development outside of the realm of games, then by all means jump headfirst into it. I would recommend starting out with C on GNU/Linux, as that system is completely free (http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/free-sw.html) so you can see a tool you want to use, use it, and make changes (be they improvements or not). Most (not all) GNU/Linux distributions are also free as in zero cost. I would recommend those (I strongly recommend Linux Mint. It provides the convenience, compatibility, and mainstream-ness of Ubuntu without all of the bullshit.). C will get you far in the Linux world, and you can always just read about classes, templates, and the other new flashy stuff to say you know C++.
If you are not interested in actually interacting with computer instruction and programming, I would recommend finding an engine that roughly fits your game, and going from there. You won't have to reinvent the wheel, but you also won't get to build a sled instead. If you want to make a game, but don't want to spend all of the time making a new game, you can always just mod.

C dominates the world of linear procedural computing, which won't advance. The future lies in MASSIVE parallelism.
Posted 24 July 2013 - 12:11 PM
No, to answer the question...I'm not really intrested in making programs. JUst more into wanting to make games for the PS4, PC, mobile
Posted 24 July 2013 - 06:44 PM
Let me guess. Nice looking 3D games that are cross-platform like that. There isn't a way for you (since you are not an experienced and wealthy media company) to publish on the PS4, but there are several softwares that abstract the software implementation away for you. Here is a VERY SMALL list of the most popular "game engines."
- Unity 3D - Easy and looks okay, a sensible choice
- UDK - Hard to use, looks amazing, you can't take advantage of it without being a great CG artist, variant of Unreal Engine (Dishonored, Bioshock, Gears of War, etc.)
- CryEngine 3 - Same as UDK, but used in Crysis games not games listed
- Irrlicht - Looks pretty great, completely able to be modified
These are all free as in zero cost. Irrlicht is the only one that is free as in freedom, if you care about that.

You probably can't afford Unreal Engine 4 anyway. UDK is still based on UE3
Also, while UE4 did remove unrealscript it has also significantly improved and expanded kismet (the visual "scripting" system) to the point where you can make full mods without writing any code.

If you are being told to , , it is because the same question has been asked and answered repeatedly, and the veterans who have seen the answers before are letting you know that the answer to your question is not as elusive as the Holy Grail, nor the Fountain of Youth.
The Basics of Searching:
If you are a registered user, the Search "button" is the sixth (6th) word from the left, and the third (3rd) word from the right located in the top section of the screen, on the line that begins with "User CP."
The button says "Search," with a triangle that points downward next to it.
(Please note that this image does NOT contain the actual search button.)
Although it is not underlined, it is a hyperlink, and will open a text entry field when you click on it. When the text entry field is visible, enter your search criteria, then click the "Go" button to the right of it. If you are feeling adventurous, you could also try the "Advanced Search" link below the text entry field.
It is important to keep in mind that you may not turn up the results you are looking for with your first search. If this is the case, repeat the search using different keywords. It can be frustrating, but keep trying.
If after 15-20 minutes of searching you still can't find what it is that you're looking for, then post a new thread. If you are a s-l-o-w r-e-a-d-e-r, then please take more time to search, before posting a new thread.
"These results suck, is there a different way to search?"
If you're not satisfied with the results of your internal searches, you can also use Google to search the mp3car.com forums.
To do this:
- go to the Google homepage (www.google.com)
- in the query text entry field, type site:mp3car.com followed by your keywords. (see image)

When talking to Chris Strachwitz, you wouldn't peg him as one of the country's foremost chroniclers and producers of traditional American folk and country blues music of the past 50 years.
With his soft, still-discernable German accent and an amiable "gee-whiz" demeanor, the 81-year-old Strachwitz comes off as your grandfatherly neighbor or your old college professor.
Related: The house that Country Joe built
But as founder and owner of the renowned Arhoolie Records label (named for a call-and-response field holler once sung by African American slaves), Strachwitz has almost single-handedly brought recognition to such notable musical artists as bluesmen Lightning Hopkins and Mississippi Fred McDowell, Tex-Mex accordion master Flaco Jimenez, zydeco king Clifton Chenier and Cajun fiddler Michael Doucet, and inspired artists from Bob Dylan to Bonnie Raitt, Tom Waits, Ry Cooder and Taj Mahal.
Strachwitz has been doing this for more than 50 years, ever since he recorded the Texas country bluesman Mance Lipscomb in his living room and released his first album on the Arhoolie label in 1960, "Mance Lipscomb: Texas Sharecropper and Songster."
Now Arhoolie — and Strachwitz — are celebrating the half-century mark with a prodigious 192-page, full color hardcover book titled "They All Played for Us," with four CDs of 70 songs and almost five hours of music.
The CDs were recorded at a live concert over three nights in February 2011 at the renowned Freight and Salvage Coffeehouse in Berkeley and feature a who's who of folk, bluegrass, conjunto, zydeco and folk blues, most of them Arhoolie artists, but a handful who don't record for the label but are fans of the label and especially of Strachwitz.
Artists who performed that weekend include well-known artists such as Cooder, Mahal, Doucet and Country Joe McDonald, but also bluegrass stalwarts Laurie Lewis, Tom Rozum and Peter Rowan, Cajun artists Savoy Family Cajun Band, "sacred steel" band The Campbell Brothers, conjunto group Los Cenzontles, Any Old Time String Band and conjunto accordionist Santiago Jimenez Jr., brother of Flaco.
Artists such as Cooder and Mahal don't even record with Arhoolie, but were inspired to pay tribute to Strachwitz by playing in the concerts.
"Taj and Ry are real supporters of the foundation (the nonprofit Arhoolie Foundation is dedicated to documenting and preserving traditional and regional vernacular music) and realized how they were turned on to Arhoolie back in the early days," said Strachwitz in a phone call from the label's home in Berkeley. "The concerts were all a benefit for the foundation, which made some $50,000. It was amazing how all the artists came and played for nothing. I am really so grateful to all of them."
The book, which features more than 150 photos by photographer Mike Melnyk, is divided into chapters, each devoted to a single performance, with notes by Strachwitz and the performers themselves.
Grammy-winning artist Cooder recounts in the book how, as a young teen just learning to play the guitar, he found an album on Arhoolie by Big Joe Williams in a small record store in L.A.
"So I put this on and the music jumped out of the speaker at me: Big Joe Williams playing 'Sloppy Drunk.' Later I learned from Chris that he made the record right there in his kitchen in Los Gatos," said Cooder. "But back then, I didn't know who Big Joe was, I didn't know what the Arhoolie label was, or who Chris was. But this was so exciting to me — the sound of this guitar and this guy just tearing ... through this song and the next one and the next one."
Cooder said he not only learned how to play guitar from that record, but picked up more such records on Arhoolie and paid more attention to the extensive liner notes on each of the albums, which were written by Strachwitz.
"Somebody named Chris Strachwitz was making these records down South or finding these people in the south and recording them, living people. So that's a name I paid attention to," said Cooder, adding in a New York Times interview: "It started me on a path of living, the path I am still on."
For Strachwitz, a young German-born schoolteacher living in Los Gatos enamored with American traditional blues and folk, it was a relatively simple leap to go from the classroom to the fields, bars and one-room country shacks of the American South searching for the source of the music.
"I had heard other American music, like New Orleans jazz. I heard hillbilly music on (Mexican radio station) XERB and I heard rhythm and blues programs in the afternoon with Hunter Hancock," recalled Strachwitz. "He played that stuff and it absolutely caught my ears. Artists like Lightning Hopkins and Sonny Boy Williamson played this music, with that rhythm behind it. Nobody had even heard it before. It was so different from 'How Much is That Doggie in the Window' and all that other stuff in those days. You couldn't be anything but grabbed by it."
But that doesn't quite explain how he went from avid — some would say obsessed — fan to owner of his own record company.
"It came out of necessity. If I'm going to put in all that energy, I wanted control of it. I loved the record business," said Strachwitz, who had no formal training, either as a recording technician or record comapny owner. "Records were wonderful inventions. They last forever, they're wonderful objects and they have all that info on the back. You just can't beat it."
But surely all the technological advances over the past 50 years have been a boon to his business.
"We should throw them all in the ocean," he laughed, only half-joking. "Why invent some new crap? Recordings today are no better than what they did in 1928. In those days engineers had an ear and they had to mix it right on the spot ... and they did it perfectly. Today they overdub, underdub, sideways dub and whatever. Then you erase half of it and start over. It's just insane."
Strachwitz and Arhoolie haven't released much in the way of new recordings, save for "They All Played for Us" and a similar CD/book boxed set "Hear Me Howling: Blues, Ballads and Beyond" in 2010.
"The heyday of the record business is gone. Maybe it will sell in a bookstore," Strachwitz said wryly about "They All Played for Us." "I don't do much in the way of looking for more talent. It's just no fun when you can't sell it, you know? I just keep an eye on Arhoolie and the store (Down Home Music in El Cerrito)."
Strachwitz seems to be putting a lot of his energies into his latest project for the Arhoolie Foundation: archiving, cataloging and digitizing the massive and historic Strachwitz Frontera Collection of Mexican and Mexican-American Recordings, which numbers more than 50,000 songs.
Strachwitz is pragmatic, stoic even, when asked how he has managed to survive for more than 50 years in the often cutthroat record business.
"One, I'm lucky to have lived this long and two, we aren't really doing much better than the rest of them," he said. "Arhoolie and the record shop are on the verge of losing money. Don't know where I go from here. Guess I'll have to go back and pack records myself, but I have too much to do with the foundation. We'll have to see what happens with this book."
In fact, Strachwitz said he's about to begin work on another book, this one about American folklorist and musicologist Dr. Harry Oster. A documentary film about Arhoolie titled "No Mouse Music!" by filmmakers Maureen Gosling and Chris Simon is set to be released this year.
When asked what his proudest achievement has been, Strachwitz was quick to answer, rattling a number of discoveries and introductions, including convincing Chenier to record the more bluesy Creole music rather than the folkier Cajun music; bringing "sacred steel" gospel music to the public's attention; bringing Cooder and Flaco Jimenez together; bringing more attention to Texas-Mexican (Tex-Mex) music; and compiling the Frontera Collection and more.
"There's not one, but a whole lot of things," he said.
Something that could easily be said about his whole colorful career.

Errr, I think you missed the video and are only making things worse for yourself.
"he stated before he photoshopped some So no need to call my putz.
plus do you really think the coyotes would get that close to the bike and him (the cover photo)??? if you do you drank the Kool-Aid"
Damm, how does this type of personality happen?
This thread:
was killed with BS like this.
You don't know much about coyotes, do you? The only Photoshopping I know of removed some license plates/holders and poles for aesthetic purposes, and for which the author duly offered full disclosure. From reading his two threads, I 'know' Dennis to be insightful, talented, confident, and maybe even occasionally abrasive. "Intellectually dishonest" is not a description, however, that comes to mind.
The original moniker stands.
I have to stand by Trane on this one: not only do you not have much experience with coyotes, but particularly the ones in Death Valley/eastern California.
I've had them eating out of my hand before too. They're pretty desensitized to people, especially people with food.
Oh yeah, keep up the good work AH on your other thread as well!
You caught him. Thank you for being the smartest cookie in class.
And on behalf of the rest of the Kool Aid drinkers, thank you for not outing AH for really doing this trip on a KLR...and only banging fat chicks.
Though I am still kinda pissed at Dennis, between him & Vice it's next to impossible now to get a good piece of raw horse at what was my favourite charcuterie !
You can't swing a dead horse in there anymore without knocking off somebody's Wayfarer's, ugh.
Welcome back Dennis Damn, damn good to have you back
Dilligaf... a fine name. This forum needs the ability to upvote posts. In the case of yours, multiple times.
It's cool. I'll send Loki by with the paperwork. (It's a stupid nick I've have for a very long time)
Just spent the last few days reading this adventure. Good stuff. Riveted to it to the point of having to be dragged away a couple times by my better half.
I was born in Detroit and it always makes me sad then angry when I see MSC and what's become of it. I'm old enough to have been in it before it was abandoned but it was still well beyond its hay day.
I'm trying to confirm but my cousin may have cooked one of your meals while you were there.
I wish I had caught this before you came through GA. I was actually in Savannah for work when you came through. Next time you make it out this way if your into aviation, the museum in Warner Robins is worth the stop. http://www.museumofaviation.org
It's funny how much bikes were apart of my parents lives till the 70,s and they have some incredible friends that have been wining racers and competed in events at Isle of Mann, held world speed records and even Dot Robinson that I was around as a child but how hard mom fought me getting a bike that it wasn't till this year I did. It took a wake up call that included a jump start and three stents for me to stop living to please others.
I managed to get to the Barber Vintage festival this year and it's hooked me in the same manner as it did you. What an amazing place.
Dreaming of taking off for a few weeks this spring after the read. It will be to my wife's surprise I may be sitting on Key west on New Year's Day if my wheel bearings get here in time. Eventually I'll get her out on it. lol
Treat 'em like a dog and they will act like a dog......for the most part
One more .....
Dude, that's your mom and dad?
No wonder she didn't want you getting a bike....she herself knows how much adrenaline runs through your blood!
(Speaking of family, I'm guessing your cousin works at Slows?)
So cool.
Loved this RR and particularly liked the clarity with which you write with when talking about the realities and revelations you found on the road. A little polishing to smooth out the edges we can develop in life.
No that's Joe and Alma at the isle tt.
Mom uses stories about Bob (who now owns the Ducati Triumph dealer in Detroit) crashing at 274 mph on the stream liner triumph. He crashed trying to get the title back from Don Vesco and big red, the stream liner you probably saw at Barber on the top of the wall in the basement. Some how That was relatable to the street. She does have a good high side story where she about ripped the back of her calf off and has some good scars from that. Was a couple other wrecks she and other members of the club were in. Dad managed to total a pickup in Macon ga in 61 on his 58 beemer. Folded the bars around the head light.
I'm trying to get the 61 BMW back that replaced that bike back. Mom sold it in 83 to keep me off it. This is that bike when it was for sale 1.5 years ago. John still hasn't got back to me about it so the current owners must not be ready to sell.
This is another of my dad's old bikes it out near you now. The top pictures my dad took when the day he bought it.
The place you got the salmon after Cranbrook. Cuz has posted pictures where he plated simular. He's now the executive chef at John D Bistro. Hasn't got back to me to tell me if he made that.
You should have hit the Henry ford museum while you were there they have Edison's actual workshop there. It's pretty cool.
Here is a site with a lot of Detroit history in if you get board. Like Detroit, it's in decay and half working and hard to navigate. Lol
and now from left field.....
as I sit here reading this RR, a guy on a Panigale, with a Kriega backpack, just made a right onto 145th off 7th avenue.
I'm following along a year behind, more or less, so no idea of AH's whereabouts at the moment.
But if you are in NYC.... stop in for a visit.
I saw a copy JAN 14 Bike magazine with your article on the cover.....
at the city center mall in BAHRAIN, so I snagged the last one! !
New user here, signing up just to say this was an incredibly inspiring journey! I'm really glad you made this thread as I'm now looking forward to my own tour of the US, though that may not happen for a good 5 to 10 years yet, lol (I'm young and poor, sue me).
I was happy you got around to Montreal as I live there. It's a great city and so is the surrounding region despite Quebec roads not being in the best condition.
I was surprised you didn't make it out to the maritimes, though. I and my buddies did the Cabot Trail in Nova Scotia this summer and I believe you really missed out on an epic and beautiful trail with some of the best twisties ever! I'm sure you've been through some awesome roads on your trip, but if you ever head back up there, it's definitely something to check out!
Said buddies and I are in our mid-20's, so we don't exactly have much money, but we're making do with sports bikes from the 80's and still managing to get in some good trips here and there. Nothing like this, though. We'd really like to just travel all over the world, but... you know... resource constraints and all that make it tough to do more than one big 1- to 2-week trip per year. Your trip's been hella inspiring, though. Giving us early cabin fever by not being able to ride in winter and all that.
Anyway, although I've read up to page 100 to far (and I may have missed it), I haven't really seen an in-depth write-up about the bike. I think you mentioned making one at some point, though I haven't spotted it. I think it would be really cool if you did one!
Well, just wanted to say all that. Good luck on your future trips, eh? Keep on biking.
Ah, correction to the above. I read your account of the Pani R, so that's cool, lol.
I am perplexed, though. Do they break-in those Panis before use, or is it just roll out and gun it from the get-go with 0km on the odo? And what happens after? Do these bikes go into dealerships as demo rides or something? Curious to know!
Well, it's ok if you don't have the answer. Just reading your account has me more than satisfied with it all.
Stravoxylo: Where I am will remain a secret for now, but I'm not in NYC. Next time, though...
Tandem: I wish I was your age when I read http://www.advrider.com/forums/showthread.php?t=460631
Proof you don't need a lot of money or mechanical knowledge to get around the world. Hell, you don't even need boots.... Long distance travel on a bike seems intimidating and scary, but it can be done, even on a tight (or non-existent) budget. Do it now and your life will change dramatically. Wait until the time is right and it will never come.
As for the R's--Not sure if they do a dyno break-in at the factory or not, the bikes as-delivered definitely didn't have the mileage reading the factory manual suggested prior to rev-limit-bouncing.
Here's my 'review' of the Panigale. http://rideapart.com/2013/01/rideapart-review-ducati-1199-panigale-s/
Wildman--I'll see you when you're back in the states.
I think the biggest risk here is that when we think the time is right, it's actually well past when it would make the biggest difference. We grow by stepping outside our comfort zone, wherever/whenever/however that may be. Wait until the idea strikes and then, as long as the risk is manageable, run with it.
You embarked on your journey when you were ready.

Posted by Steve
It's only a fraction of how necessary it was to release Jeff Suppan a few years ago, but it still needed to happen: Randy Wolf has been released.
I'll at least take a paragraph to reflect on Wolf's tenure and his signing in general. He was okay here for two years, with last year being his best. His peripherals weren't really even that different this year save for a bit of a higher home run rate; he was killed by a .340 BABIP. If you're mad at Wolf for this performance, I don't really agree with you. The honus should go on Doug Melvin for giving a declining player a three-year deal. Of course, if Wolf didn't get a three-year offer from Milwaukee, he'd very likely wouldn't have signed here, but so what? It's just Randy Wolf. Point is, I don't want to go more than two years on any free agent pitcher unless his numbers show he is solidly above average.
Essentially, my interest in the Brewers' rotation going forward is inversely proportional to the presence of Randy Wolf. And now that Randy Wolf is gone, the rotation just got a lot more interesting.
We'll get to see, presumably, all of the young-ish pitchers who have a shot at the rotation next season. Not just Mike Fiers and Mark Rogers, who have already had auditions, but Wily Peralta and Tyler Thornburg as well. We will also see a cameo from Shaun Marcum, who is auditioning for next season–I suppose there's still an outsider's outside chance Marcum could be dealt on waivers, but he'll only have one, maybe two starts before the August deadline, so the chances of that are almost nil. More likely, he's taking a longer audition for a chance to get a nice contract somewhere next season.
Basically, the rotation will consist of Marcum and Gallardo every five days,with some mash-up of Fiers, Rogers, Thornburg, Peralta, and Marco Estrada taking the last three spots. There have been rumblings of the Brewers shutting down Rogers, Fiers and even Estrada to prevent them from taking too much of a jump in innings from last season, which of course is smart in a now meaningless season. One way to accomplish this would be to piggyback them in starts–essentially each guy pitches three innings on the same day every five days. The starting pitcher would be Mirke Fiergers or something.
I did hear some concern over the release of Wolf in that the Brewers might need a veteran to eat some innings if they end up needing to shut down most/all of the younger pitchers. I'm really not worried about that; if that happens, the Brewers just need to call up some AAA soldier. I'm warning you now, Brewer fans: Brace yourself once again for some Claudio Vargas appearances in September.
Anyway, the Brewers are making some smart decisions now that they're out of contention. By the end of this season, they should have a solid grasp of whether Jean Segura is ready to be the starting shortstop (I've actually been more impressed with his glove than his bat to this point, which doesn't match his scouting report), and which of these pitchers should open up 2013 in the starting rotation.
Plus, it will simply be more fun to watch these guys pitch over Randy Wolf.

|Nature aquarium in LA is on the corner of Santa Monica Blvd. and Yale at a little strip mall. I highly recommend getting some plants there. Toru (the store owner) is very nice and will help you well. He has some very good, healthy plants.
i hope your trip went well. if you ever come to the bay area, i'd say you would at least need 1-2 weeks considering the things and places you'd want to see. you could probably do the touristy stuff in san francisco itself within a few days probably 1-3. then theres the rest of the bay area like sausalito is really nice and napa etc. a lot of the places would be day trips from san fran. then on top of that you would want to of course visit the fish stores as well. here is what i have to say about most of the places in SF
6th avenue aquarium on clement- cheap, quality is a little low, but prices beat most of the other fish stores out there. They also have some really cool looking things that most other fish stores wouldn't sell. it's also self serve which is a bit odd so don't expect too much customer service. they also have an upstairs section which i don't know if people know about but its a bit scary to walk around up there because its relly tight and cramped.
Ocean aquarium in the tenderloin/civic center- i wouldnt bother. it's in a really scary ally way with tons of homeless everywhere. their shop is really tiny and their tanks are just packed full of moss and you dont even know what kind of fish are in them. it reminded my of the wand shop from harry potter because everything was just piled on top of other stuff with little buckets and bowls of stuff and fish everywhere.
Lucky ocean aquarium on balboa- pretty good. the guy there has a lot of knowledge but its a little small.
Neptune aquatics in milpitas- i've never been there but i've hear great things. if you're in san francisco, it'll be a bit of a drive might be a small day trip.
Aqua forest in japantown (Definite visit unless recommended against)- DEFINITELY recommend. probably should be the number one on the list. or last because you'd want to save the best for last.
Albany Aquarium in the east bay- also never been here but i've hear a lot of good things about this place. since its in the east bay, it would also probably a side/ day trip.
Aquatic Central over on Ocean Ave-this place is alright, i think their trying to do something to their store at the moment like restock everything im not really sure because i went there one day and they had everything all set up and went there again a month later and everything was broken down and different. so maybe it'll be different the next time you go there.
also i do agree with the academy of sciences and the monterey bay aquarium. they're just amazing aquariums with tons of stuff to see.
I tried to post this last week but my phone was being flakey.
I just want to thank you all for your help and suggestions, we went to a couple places in Los Angeles, Allens and 7 Seas and both were very helpful and had tons of tanks in stock and one other I've forgotten the name of but it was pretty unremarkable.
San Diego was a different story, we were starting to burn out and decided to make Aquatic Warehouse our only stop which was great because they had everything we could have wanted, including the 12 long that was on my shopping list. It took some serious will power to not come home with a second, nor the finnex Ray2 I was eyeballing.
San Francisco will unfortunately have to wait till next time as we just ran out of go-go power and headed home, but I think we will fly there soon.
So again, I'd just like to say thanks to the locals who pointed our directions even though we didn't make it to all the stops.
|Aquatic Warehouse has some nice stuff, but don't go to Fountains because their service sucks!
I second Nature Aquarium. The store is beautiful. Most tanks are beautifully scaped. They buy their tanks and stuff from AFA as far as I know. It's in Santa Monica near 3rd street Promenade if you so choose to visit. I bought both my 60H and 60P from Toru.
I'd add Seaside Tropical Fish in Huntington Beach. Despite their name, I'd say their specialty is marine fish that takes up 3/4 of the store. The store is very pretty. It's also close to HB downtown if you choose to visit.
Most of the other stores on your list that I can recognize is not worth seeing in my opinion such as 405 and Tongs. Nice stores but pretty generic and not worth the drive. But, that's me. Oh, and they are in OC not SD.

I second the recommendation for Nature Aquarium in Santa Monica. My favorite of the LA stores.
|Academy Sciences! Totally forgot it! This place is awesome! They have tons of animals and they have a simulated rain forest in a big sphere. Including fish at the bottom where there is a pond, and there are tanks below as well. Really awesome.
Monterey Bay Aquarium
San Francisco Academy of Sciences
Not fish stores, but you will. you will. !@#$ your pants
I have two nearby that sell ADA, Neptune and AFA. Though Neptunes Aquasoil is more expensive than AFA's since they buy Aquasoil from AFA. They also have lots of wood and rocks.
I know there are some people in Sac, but havent heard of any cool stores there. Monterey Bay Aquarium is really cool. They replicate natural environments, like the kelp forest is actually replicated from the forest that is literally outside the aquarium building. Really cool place to see saltwater fish, just no freshwater besides a small thing for trout.
Thanks for the responses so far, it's nice to have this first hand local knowledge.
I'll definitely post plenty and I'm sure after we return home I'll be remembering the better ones fondly.... Our closest ADA dealer is 2.5 hours away lol

In Regards to the SF Bay Area:
6th ave: Kind of a thrifty place. Great asian food nearby. I love Clemment Street. I recommend eating at King of Thai Noodle on the next block across the street.
Aqua Forest: Definitely go there but not on Tuesdays because they're closed on Tuesdays. Wed-Sun are the best days (IMO) GREAT seafood place up the street from it. Woodhouse Fish Co. What better way to complete looking at fish than eating some. I had an orgasmic crab melt though.
Aquarium Concepts: Gets better each time I've gone in, but I still think their Saltwater>Freshwater. Worth visiting.
Connies: It's on the way to Aquarium Concepts. Also steadily improving. Go browse the pond section in the back parking lot area. Best in the bay area.
Aqua Traders: Pretty sketchy. If there's one you could skip, you won't miss out on this place they're website is far more impressive. It's in a warehouse-type building, not much of a LFS feel.
Albany Aquarium: Very good store. The guy there, Evan, is the most personable LFS dude I've encountered. Pretty knowledgeable too. Livestock is expensive but looks very healthy (not that you'd be buying fish & shrimp on your honeymoon)
Aquatic Central: I've been in there about 3 or 4 times, hasn't impressed me yet. It's been quite a few months since I last walked in, but go in with low expectations. I just buy excel and that stuff.
Let us know how your experiences were. I've never been to the LFS in the south bay (Sunnyvale, Milpitas etc.)
Good point plantedrich, im mostly looking for nice display tanks, good plant selection/health and dry good selection because bringing back livestock is harder and i suspect requires import permits.
Thanks for the responses so far
Not fresh water and nothing to buy for a fresh water tank but if you are going that way Santa Cruz has the Monarch butterflies roosting for the winter at Natural Bridges and Natural Bridges is very close to Long Marine Lab which is not large or expensive and is quite nice to visit.
My favorite LFS is TAT in Ventura off the 101. DH likes to eat at the Japanese market next door and I sneak over to look at the fish and multiple tanks of plants for sale and planted tanks in there.
|I know it's not a aquarium shop but the Monterey Bay Aquarium is amazing! I could easily(and have a time or two) spends days in that place!

text: A friend of mine and I are working on putting together a camping/prairiedog hunt in South Dakota...weve done research and ideally we would like to find private land to hunt on and camp on both. Neither of us has hunted prarie dogs before and we would both like some sort of a plan for a place to stay/hunt before we head out..everyone we talkd to said "just ask any rancher"...thats a bit iffy for us especially if were gonna be driving 6 hours..we'd really like to have something mopre set in stone...we are both going to be shooting 22's so their wont be a hail of AR-15 rounds flying..both of us are adults and responsible...just looking for a nice get away..anyway..if anyone has contacts or if theirs a list of ranchers that welcome PD hunters any info would be great...Thanks!

What can i use on my garden that wont harm my bees?
What can i use on my garden that wont harm my bees?
Well, it really depends on what pest you are trying to control. However, horticultural oil applied either before the bees are flying, or after they are home for the night is something that you may wish to explore more.
USDA Zone 7A Elevation 1400 ft
I agree with RS, also BT will work on alot of bugs and not harm the bees. Always read the label, some of that stuff can take you out also down the road.
The only thing I use is a garlic, redpepper, ivory soap, mixture that is simmered. Spray on leaves after rain, and evenings. Also try planting various types of plants that will keep the bugs you are trying to get rid of in check.
> Is this just mineral oil suspension or what?
At the linked document above, just above the footnotes are listed at least half a dozen commercial product brand names. You can Google any of them for more info. One of them I checked "Ortho Volck Oil Spray" shows "97% Petroleum Oil.* *(Pet. Oil-Min. U.R. 91% - Class Lt. - Med.)"
USDA Zone 7A Elevation 1400 ft
neem oil
Washing soda (borax) for ants - mix some with honey/sugar water, (Mix 1 cup of sugar, 4 teaspoons of boric acid and 24 ounces of water in a glass screw top jar. Shake thoroughly until you can see that all the crystals are dissolved) place some in a jar the bees can't get into and leave it in the problem area with the top facing down/soil contact so that the ants can get into it, but it won't fill will water should it rain.
The boron in the mix will sterilize the queen ants so the colony will die. Commercial ant traps mostly use the same stuff.
Nematodes are good for soil dwelling larvae. http://www.uvm.edu/vtvegandberry/fac...nematodes.html
I wouldn't do much more than the very basic measures. I would add in some ladybugs and other predator type insects like preying mantis if you are trying to reduce other bugs. A sharp blast of water from a hose can do wonders to some pests. Or simply pinching off and throwing away an effected limb of a plant with a load of aphids is really effective.
Or you could even plant certain other plants that many pest bugs just don't like. I always plant corriander in my rose garden. Aphids hate the smell of that plant. Marigolds are good near tomatoes at moving off pests that eat those plants. And you get some more pretty plants without possibly hurting bugs that you need and want in your garden like spiders or dragon flies.

I neglected my roses and as a result we have a severe case of rust (marine layer, coastal climate). Anything I can do with this? I tried copper and vinegar (somebody suggested) it did not help because the case is so severe. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Серёжа, Sergey
I have a pretty large rose garden myself and several other rose plants here and there throughout the rest of my gardens. Its only in the late fall that my roses get any sort of mold type issues here in the High Plains Desert that is Colorado. Roses do prefer the drier climate over the cool, damp environment of costal areas. But that's not to say that they won't do very well. I think you just have to be more vigilante with their care. I've never had to use copper on them. And now that I have bees, I won't be using any of the Bayer systemic care products anymore. There are other things I can do for them.
Good luck with your rose plants!

I think this is a good question and it is one I was wondering about as well. I don't know much about gardening really except plant things and water them and let them grow... but last year spiders and inch worms ate the leaves of my hops in a matter of a week it seemed like. I did an internet search and it brought up what I had heard of using from a friend a while back. It is similar to what fieldsofnaturalhoney said they use. I took jalapeno peppers and food processed them with water and then filtered it through a coffee filter. Then I took liquid ivory dish soap and blended that with the jalapeno juice. I sprayed it on the leaves and base area around the hops early in the season. It seemed to help and the bees are fine. They don't really mess with the hops anyway. Now that the hops are producing the hop cones the plants are on their own. I wouldn't want the soap taste to get in a batch of homebrew
I haven't tried this yet myself (though i plan to), but I've heard compost tea sprayed on the leaves does a great job of repelling leaf-eating insects as well as fertilizing plants. It can be made either with a bubbler or without. You can look it up on YouTube for different ways of making it.
My father has an amazing garden, but he has been amending his soil for decades. He never sprays insecticides or repellents, but his plants rarely have pests because they are so healthy. The healthier a plant is, the better able it is to ward off insects.
Good luck!

I was wondering if the unused pollen stored in the frames is used by the bees the next year. If there's a lot in some frames, should I just get rid of it and add foundation?
I was wondering if the unused pollen stored in the frames is used by the bees the next year. If there's a lot in some frames, should I just get rid of it and add foundation?
I probably should have said a little more- I want to use some of the frames from last years lost colonies and was wondering if I can use those that have lots of pollen in the cells. OR should I cut those out and start with new foundation. Does pollen keep from year to year-- OR how long?
I use it from previous years but sometimes that pollen is like cement so I never take for granted that the pollen will be good.
"My wife always wanted girls. Just not thousands and thousands of them......"
I don't remove it if it's in the hive, as it sounds yours is. If I've stored the frames outside of a hive, then I wash it out with a water hose and let them air out for a day or two before using in a hive.
I didn't know you could hose out the frames. Mine aren't in the hive right now though, I thought a frame full of only pollen or mostly pollen had to be cut out and disposed of.
I got a swarm call a few weeks ago, and inadvertently grabbed some old pollen frames that I had sorted out to be cleaned up when I went to catch it. So about 4 pounds of bees got hived on it, and they cleaned it out for the brood area, and stored honey on top of the rest. Once they were well established i gave them a box of frames that had been gnawed down to the plastic foundation by wax moths - which they promptly cleaned up and started drawing out. Looks like they are fine with it. Amazing what a crowded box of motivated bees can accomplish durring a good flow.
Oh, that's great. I was getting low on empty drawn out foundation and was hoping to use these pollen bound, but good, frames. Thanks for sharing.

Shooting guard Daryl Corletto was named NBL Player of the Week for his sharp-shooting as the Breakers continued on their winning ways.
Corletto scored 22 points in his side's convincing 95-76 victory over the Sydney Kings last Thursday night. He scored first 14 points, including four three-pointers in four minutes, and shot six out of eight three-pointers and eight of 11 from the field.
"Daryl's been busting his arse over the last few weeks putting in extra work," coach Andrej Lemanis said after the game. "When you see that, there's no surprise he comes in and shoots six of eight from the three-point line."
Corletto then added another 11 points in Saturday's 91-74 road win over Wollongong, which saw the Breakers set a new club record of nine consecutive wins.
That winning run will face a stern examination on Friday when the Breakers (17-3) host the second-placed Perth (13-4) in a crucial match at Vector Arena. Interest in the game is so high the club have put 700 more tickets on sale for the game, bringing the capacity of Vector Arena up to 9200.

I looked into getting one a while back. My daughter was interested.
I was turned off by the shedding quills, and nocturnal activity. They are cute though.

I wanted a hedgehog but, after some research, I found out It's illegal in Georgia which is extremely stupid.
rvl8, have you checked on the legality of these in CT, We have some strict laws on "exotic" pets.
Remi, for short.
he's been a great pet so far. when they get used to you they dont poke you anymore, and its like a large hamster. haha
isnt USDA the people that grade our meat? Does that mean they're selling us hotdogs. Well no more mcdonalds for me! well, wait, thats probably cat meat, im cool with that
I have had my hedgehog , Sam, for about 18 months, and he is great. If you get one buy a male, and stay away from the Albino ones. They tend to not to be as friendly, and can be downright nasty. It is imperative that you keep his house clean, and have interaction with him on a daily basis. Mine will come out when I call him. I keep him in a cage that was designed for a Guinea Pig. It is roomy and comfortable. Use aspen litter only!! in the bottom of the house, about 3 inches deep. I was told not to use pine litter by the breeder, it can cause problems. Make sure you keep the house clean, and change the litter weekly. I feed mine meal worms, the giant size about 3/4" of an inch long. the super size is to big and the smaller ones are to small. feed him about 4 or 5 at a time. Also buy the Sunseed Vita Hedgehog hard food. i put about an ounce in a seperate bowl. Also go to the store and buy a package of frozen mixed veggies (carrots,peas,corn, etc.) This is a great treat and is good for them. Put the veggies in some warm water first to soften up. Don't serve them frozen. They need the vitamins and minerals. You can switch the foods as you like, but i give him 2 of the 3 every night. For a special treat give him a small amount of wet cat food. They go crazy!!!!! (NOT TO MUCH) Any more info contact me at email@example.com and i will send you some photos or if you want we can make contact by phone and i will be glad to help you.
