Norinco imported a handful of muzzle loading SKS right after the AW ban started. There are a couple of web sites describing them. I guess it shows even the faceless billions of Communist China can have a sense of humor...
You know, thinking about it, though the AK-47 itself would be a big step forward, the *bigger* step forward would be from examining its ammunition. Figure they'd be using corrosive milsurp ammo... that's potassium chlorate primers, very nearly the perfect priming compound - cheap, virtually insensitive to extremes of temperature, and doesn't degrade over time, like the old mercuric and some new non-lead, non-corrosive primers. The CSA wouldn't care about it being corrosive; all their primers were corrosive anyway. And the best thing is, the chlorate priming compound is simple enough that 1860s chemists could identify and duplicate it.
There had been nitrocellulose gunpowders before 1865, but they had been unstable and tended more to being explosives than propellants - the French had tried nitrated wood pulp, and the Swiss had tried some other stuff, but they weren't making much progress. The chemistry of a modern smokeless propellant isn't very complex, but the processes to making a reliable propellant are. Still, just *knowing* there was a solution would have been an enormous help.
Darn, if I did not know better, someone would think you all are looking to get on a Armageddon reality show.
"The two enemies of the people are criminals and goverment, so let us tie the second down with the chains of the Constitution so that the second will not become the legal version of the first" ~ Thomas Jefferson
Even if it stopped there, that's 30 rapid-fire rounds, and you could strip it, rod out the gas system, and reassemble it faster than you could reload a muzzle-loader.
However, even if you left the gas system off and operated it as a straight-pull bolt action, the firepower advantage over the enemy would still be enormous. Even 50 years later, most of the world's military considered five rounds to be sufficient for a battle rifle, the only notable exception being those wacky Brits with an astonishing *ten* rounds in their Enfields.
a black powder SKS? muzzle loading to boot? where do i sign up for one! that is just too damn cool!
we should build a muzzle loading AKM! LOL!

Most military forces today still use some muzzle loaders. They're called mortars and probably could even use black powder.
I have used 100 year old black powder .303 rifle blanks to launch training rifle-grenades. They work well and are predictable.
Don't mount the grenade launcher sight, but make the gas-flow bolt do double-duty as a removable clean-out plug. Attach the gas flow bolt to the front sling mount with a cute little chain, very 19th century style, so that Cletus & Bubba don't lose it.
Next problem?

Product Details
Passenger Side Power View Mirror (SU1321121) by Replace®. Foldaway. Non-Heated. With Turn Signal. Paint to Match. Damaged or broken mirror housings make your car unsightly, but driving with cracked or missing mirror glass can be dangerous, not to mention illegal. Don't risk your safety or run afoul of the law because of the high cost of an original equipment (OE) mirror! Replace side door mirrors are direct replacements for factory originals but cost much less. You get OE quality without the OE price.
- Designed as a direct replacement
- Provide clear visibility
- Delivers the same quality as the OEM parts for less money
- Built using premium grade materials
- Guarantees reliable service life
- Ensures a precise fit
When you are behind the wheel, the clear visibility of all sides of your vehicle makes the great difference between safety and danger of a car accident. When your side mirrors are lost or damaged, you cannot check who's behind you and have no possibility to pass any vehicle without putting yourself and other drivers in a danger of an accident. This is the reason why driving without side mirrors is illegal. If it's high time to replace your side mirrors, choose these high-quality products from Replace designed to provide you with the same quality as the OEM parts for lasting service and ensure a precise fit for hassle free installation.
When selecting the Replace® component that is right for your model from the Product Options list, you may be offered a choice of Good, Better or Best. Good may be a part manufactured by a different company than the one that made the original part, but because it's based on the same design, it will look and function identically to the OE part. Better may be a part made by a brand name manufacturer and Best may be a part made by the same manufacturer that made the original part. Some parts labeled Best bear the seal of the Certified Automotive Parts Association (CAPA), an independent, non-profit organization that oversees a testing program to guarantee the quality of automotive parts. CAPA certified replacement parts meet the industry's toughest standards. But regardless of how the part is labeled, have confidence that whichever one you choose, it will appear and function to your satisfaction.

Red Cross breaks blood donation record in Jefferson City
Blood drive held in honor of local teen battling leukemia
JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. - The local chapter of the American Red Cross collected a record-breaking amount of blood in Jefferson City.
Red Cross officials say they collected 312 pints of blood, surpassing their goal of 250. One pint of blood could potentially save up to three lives.
The One Community Club Blood Drive, organized by the Red Cross and Zimmer Radio Group, was held from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. at the Capital Mall and supported Hudsen Lee.
The local teenager is battling lymphoblastic leukemia. Hudsen has used more than 20 units of blood since being diagnosed with the disease in March.
He wanted to help others by setting the record for the most blood donated in Jefferson City history.
Red Cross officials say summer is the time when donations tend to decrease, making the need for blood critical.
"Right now, the summer months are extremely difficult for us to collect blood," said Craig Jackson of the American Red Cross. "We are in an emergency appeal."
The Red Cross says 20 percent of donations are from high school and college students. Therefore, Mid-Missouri sees a large drop in blood donations when students leave for the summer.
All of the blood donated Wednesday will directly benefit Mid-Missouri hospitals.

When a queen is artificially inseminated, what sperm volume is she injected? The equivalent of how many drones when she is naturally mated?
When a queen is artificially inseminated, what sperm volume is she injected? The equivalent of how many drones when she is naturally mated?
Depends on the desired outcome...But, genearlly speaking, 8-10 micro liters per single insemination. Some protocols, go for less semen volume, that is 2-3-4, micro liters, given in multiple insemination sessions.
A good, sexually mature drone, would yield about 1 micro liter of semen. So, you would need to successfully collect 8-10 sexually mature drones as an equivalent of the semen volume she would otherwise get in an open mating stint...
From what I have seen the volume keeps rising. and has increased again in the past year. Likewise the number of drones a virgin is thought to mate with has also increased..again. Two years ago it was common to hear they mate with as many as 10 to 12 drones on average. Just a couple of months ago I was reading an article that now says it may be more like 20 on average. and far more than that in some cases.
Everything gets darker, as it goes to where there is less light. Darrel Tank (5PM drawing instructor)
You are right Daniel Y...but...
The question I have, is what volume of drone semen can a queen's spermatheca hold...Are the queens sperm holding volume increased lately? Bigger queens, larger reproductive apparatus?
A lot of those drones , that age wise are mature, might be just "shooting blanks"...so the queens might be mating with more drones, but...that does not mean all those matings will contribute with a full micro liter of viable semen to the queen's spermatheca. Clearly, there is something that contributes to lower drone fertility lately... That could be low volume, no volume at all, or simply dead or mostly dead semen. The utility of AI/II, among other things... is to identify those "blank shooters".
Now, I cannot give you any "peer reviewed" studies on that, just my personal observations.
I've been "squeezing" a lot of mature drones this year...and there is no semen on that mucus...yet, those drones are flying... looking for a queen to mate.
Just my 2 cents...
P.S. Question for Daniel Y: Are you increasing the insemination dose also? Thanks!
What the volume of the spermathica is I am not sure. I don't know that I have ever seen it mentioned. I suspect the 8 to 10 ml was arrived at due to the size of the spermathica. I think the changes in dosages has been arrived at due to observations and what produces a better quality fertilized queen. Avoiding the blanks. It does suggest that maybe the spermathica has a way to select what sperm it is filled with though. just maybe.
I am in the process of getting my equipment and training for II. So I don't have to worry about increase. decrease. fertility of my drones and all that just yet. I saw your post and simply had the thought that you are venturing into the misty darker crevices of beekeeping. where your questions don't necessarily have answers. at least reliable ones. It is still in discovery.
Everything gets darker, as it goes to where there is less light. Darrel Tank (5PM drawing instructor)
There has been work done with different amounts of semen and comparing that to the amount of sperm actually stored in the spermathica. Note that when you inject the semen, you are doing so into the oviducts, not the spermathica. Sperm normally migrates into the spermathica in the 48 hour period after insemination or mating. Only about 10% of the sperm received is actually stored in the spermathica.
Bigger queens often has to do with the queen having more fully developed ovarials. I don't believe the size (storage capacity) of the spermathica is affected. It's a very small round organ.
In my experience the recommendation was 8ml. How many drones that represents varies significantly depending on the amount of semen each drone has and the insemination skill harvesting the semen. A single drone could produce as much as approximately 1ml, but in practice I've found you rarely get drones that productive or can't harvest the full amount for one reason or another.
In addition, there is some mixing that occurs in the collection tube (see Joe Latshaw's work for reference on this). Mechanical mixing can also be done but it can be very easy to damage the long tails of the sperm.
Right you are tarheit
Indeed, when a queen is inseminated( or mated for that reason) the semen is deposited into the oviducts...and like you say, then it migrates and ends up being stored in the spermatheca. Some of it anyways...Because ultimately, the number of viable, normal, sperm cells that reach the spermatheca is what matters. Either via open mating or via AI.
Harbo mentions in his work that with natural matings, queens retain aprox. 5.7 million sperm cells in their spermatheca. In order to get close to that via AI, he says, smaler volumes of semen ( 2.5 micro liters), have to be given multiple times.
Lots of factors at play no doubt...very complex...very fascinating.
But my reply was trying to follow up on Daniel Y's observation that lately, it takes more drones to mate/inseminate a queen than it did before.
I hope, I did not imply that the semen is injected in the spermatheca...that is why I said, ... "Are the queens sperm holding volume increased lately? Bigger queens, larger reproductive apparatus?"
Peace! Out to "probe" some more queens.

Report not ready yet for Black Forest fire investigation
BLACK FOREST, Colo. - The Board Chairman of the Black Forest Fire/Rescue District says the independent investigators hired last month are still looking into accusations uncovered in a KRDO Newschannel 13 investigation.
Ed Bracken read this statement at Wednesday evenings board meeting:
"Last month this Board took specific action to engage the services of a skilled investigator to determine whether the District's response at the time of the June 11, 2013 "Black Forest Fire" was appropriate and timely. As many of you know there have been allegations that more could have been done, and should have been done, as this deadly and disastrous fire situation unfolded. We as a board wanted to get to the bottom of those allegations.
Since December 10th this investigation has involved the professional time of two investigators, one with a fire specialty, and to date numerous interviews, at least 40 at last count, have been conducted, and new lines of inquiry have been developed. Dave Fisher and Dave Daley have put in more than 200 hours of field work.
It's often difficult to know where an investigation will lead, but I can tell you that as a result of our investigators' work, other leads about the potential source and origin of the fire have developed. It is the District's responsibility to investigate the potential source and origin of fires within the District boundaries. Nonetheless, our investigators are also cognizant of their moral, ethical and legal responsibility to report those leads, and we have shared those with the Sheriff's Office. The District may additionally involve other law enforcement agencies as appropriate.
Using an investigative team, and having to hire a media relations specialist, is an entirely new enterprise for this fire district, and while we didn't ask for this role, we have made the commitment to see it through to a firm conclusion. We expect that the interviews, and reviews of logs, reports and timelines, will be wrapped up in the next few weeks. A final report should be complete by the time of our February meeting.
In keeping with our stated position, we will not engage in any guesswork about the contents of the anticipated report, or conduct dialogue with the media, about individual interviews, timeline, or other issues expected to be included in it, until the report is wrapped up and ready for public release. The Board of Directors itself has not yet reviewed materials related to the investigation, and is also anxious for the close of the investigation. This update is as much as we are able to provide at this time.
We thank you for your patience, your interest and trust in the District, and our belief that this is the proper course of action for the good of all of the residents of Black Forest."
In a statement released Wednesday night, Sheriff Terry Maketa disputed the usefulness of the investigators findings.
"The hired investigator did in fact provide information to the Sheriff's Office which was not new to the investigation and had already been thoroughly vetted by the Sheriff's Office investigators. The information provided no evidentiary value whatsoever and did not further the investigation in any way.
Furthermore, the investigative file initiated by Chief Bob Harvey was also turned over to the Sheriff's Office pursuant to a court order due to his lack of cooperation. The file provided by Chief Harvey provided no value and was not based on facts or scientific evidence and did not help to further the investigation in any way. The file contained only notes, daily logs, miscellaneous maps and did not resemble any appearance of a criminal or fire investigation and did not help to further the investigation.
The Sheriff's Office is continuing the investigation and we are confident that once complete, it will stand solely on the facts and evidence not merely assumptions or theories."
The next public board meeting in Black Forest will be February 19th at 6:30 pm.

Like any Sig, the 2022/2009 are great shooters, and in the field of polymer pistols (glock, XD, M&P), they are a great value at the $500 mark! The grip on these Sigs is, however, a little bulky when compared to the 228/229, but if it fits your hand... then pick one up!

PortraitBeverly Cleary is one of America's most beloved authors. As a child, she struggled with reading and writing. But by third grade, after spending much time in her public library in Portland, Oregon, she found her skills had greatly improved. Before long, her school librarian was saying that she should write children's books when she grew up.
Instead she became a librarian. When a young boy asked her, "Where are the books about kids like us?" she remembered her teacher's encouragement and was inspired to write the books she'd longed to read but couldn't find when she was younger. She based her funny stories on her own neighborhood experiences and the sort of children she knew. And so, the Klickitat Street gang was born!
Mrs. Cleary's books have earned her many prestigious awards, including the American Library Association's Laura Ingalls Wilder Award, presented to her in recognition of her lasting contribution to children's literature. Dear Mr. Henshaw won the Newbery Medal, and Ramona Quimby, Age 8 and Ramona and Her Father have been named Newbery Honor Books. Her characters, including Beezus and Ramona Quimby, Henry Huggins, and Ralph, the motorcycle-riding mouse, have delighted children for generations.

Ethical Hackers' thoughts on a general misunderstanding of "hacker"?
"Hacking is bad, because it can destroy hard work. It can also harm people's lives. If you want to prevent yourself from getting hacked don't share your personal information. If you don't want your system to get hacked then you should have a good firewall. It will protect your computer and your files."
I decided to bring it here to see what you all would say. Do you agree that hacking destroys hard work and harms people? Is a good firewall really all it takes to protect yourself and your files?

All 53 Senate Dems sign letter to Boehner: Your bill will never pass
posted at 10:23 pm on July 27, 2011 by Allahpundit
Awfully nice of them to give Boehner one more little boost on the eve of tomorrow's vote by calling the House GOP's bluff like this.
Dear Speaker Boehner,
With five days until our nation faces an unprecedented financial crisis, we need to work together to ensure that our nation does not default on our obligations for the first time in our history. We heard that in your caucus you said the Senate will support your bill. We are writing to tell you that we will not support it, and give you the reasons why.
A short-term extension like the one in your bill would put America at risk, along with every family and business in it. Your approach would force us once again to face the threat of default in five or six short months. Every day, another expert warns us that your short-term approach could be nearly as disastrous as a default and would lead to a downgrade in our credit rating. If our credit is downgraded, it would cost us billions of dollars more in interest payments on our existing debt and drive up our deficit. Even more worrisome, a downgrade would spike interest rates, making everything from mortgages, car loans and credit cards more expensive for families and businesses nationwide.
In addition to risking a downgrade and catastrophic default, we are concerned that in five or six months, the House will once again hold the economy captive and refuse to avoid another default unless we accept unbalanced, deep cuts to programs like Medicare and Social Security, without asking anything of the wealthiest Americans.
We now have only five days left to act. The entire world is watching Congress. We need to do the right thing to solve this problem. We must work together to avoid a default the responsible way – not in a way that will do America more harm than good.
So that's how this story ends. With the party of endless spending and entitlements unto death lecturing fiscal conservatives on how they're leading the country into a credit downgrade. Perfecto.
Politico reports that Mitch McConnell is huddling with Biden to forge some sort of face-saving deus-ex-machina compromise. The story's thin on details, but since McConnell's involved and the only big remaining stumbling block is whether the final deal is short-term or long-term, I assume they're trying to work out a way to combine McConnell's original proposal about giving Obama more unilateral control over raising the ceiling with Boehner's bill. E.g., instead of making next year's debt-ceiling increase contingent upon Congress enacting the new commission's debt-reduction recommendations, it might grant Obama the power to increase it himself in return for deeper, front-loaded cuts. But that's just me speculating. We'll know more tomorrow.
As a late evening dessert, here's Chris Christie dumping on Obama for not producing his own plan. According to Rich Lowry, Boehner's getting closer to 218 — but he's not there yet.

Go Brazil!
Given the copious amounts of beer and salted meats that you'll inhale while cheering for five-time-champion Brazil at these choice establishments, we seriously recommend that you hydrate beforehand. With that said, wherever you are — so long as you're north of Boston — there's probably a churrascaria nearby, which, during the World Cup, is good for more than just belly-busting all-you-can-eat spreads. Café Belô and Oliveira's locations from East Boston to Everett will be brimming with Brazil fans, as will Midwest Grill (1124 Cambridge Street, Cambridge). That last spot will be broadcasting all World Cup matches, but scaling back food service to buffet-only during Brazil games to accommodate the mad rush.
Go Italy!If you think it's hard to get a table in the North End on holidays and weekends, just wait until the Coppa Mondiale kicks off. Caffé Paradiso (255 Hanover Street, Boston) recommends arriving one hour early to anyone who wants to sit and watch defending champion Italy. Down the block at Caffé Dello Sport (308 Hanover Street, Boston), which opens at 6 am, they suggest coming two hours early if you want to play it safe. Four years ago, the North End was without-a-doubt the place to be, and not just for Team Italy fans; according to restaurant managers we spoke with, during the World Cup, patrons who support Holland, Germany, Brazil, Mexico, England, and Argentina also do their part in filling every bar, café, and restaurant to the point that thousands are left to peep through windows from the street.
Go USA!
There is nothing more American than watching one game on several dozen televisions, which is why Game On! (82 Lansdowne Street, Boston) and The Lansdowne (9 Lansdowne Street, Boston) will be ground zero for Team USA fanatics (and their soccer-hating tagalong friends, who can watch any number of other sports). On second thought, there is one thing more American: watching one match on multiple tubes while inside a giant mall — something that can be accomplished at the stunningly renovated Champions (110 Huntington Avenue, Boston) inside the Back Bay Marriott. To class things up even more than they already have, that spot is also pouring special wine selections from countries that are playing on any given day.
Go Ireland!
Fine, Ireland didn't make the dance this time around. But Greater Boston's Irish pubs will still be hosting droves of inebriated soccer fans from June through July. Expect heads to root for Team USA (and against England) at Phoenix Landing (512 Mass Ave, Cambridge), where first call is at 8 am (three hours earlier than Boston). For those 7:30 am games, also check P.J. Ryan's (239 Holland Street, Somerville), which opens early anyway for Gaelic football, or head to JP, where the Jeanie Johnston (144 South Street) crowd gets nice and rowdy, and where the always-dark Galway House (710 Centre Street) and Brendan Behan (378 Centre Street) shield you from the guilt that often comes with afternoon inebriation.

The studio is located in the rear of the garden, secluded from the main house with very nice surroundings and a nice terrace too.
The host gave me lots of information on how to get to the centre of Venice, how to use the buss or train to get there. It takes about 25mins by buss. The buss stops at the terminal nearby the train station. From there you can walk to the centre or take the Vaporetto.
The bathroom was great, the kitchen small but all necessary tools where there.
I received information on local restaurants and shops that where very nice to visit.
The "nice little studio" is really a very nice little studio. Its a beautyful and quiete place. Eliseo is " molto gentile". We will come back soon!
My husband and I stayed at this very lovely guesthouse in May of 2014. The location was Idyllic and a beautiful peaceful retreat from our our very busy schedule in Venice. The guesthouse is within easy driving distance of Venice, although affordable public transportation is also available. There are also several quaint restaurants in close proximity that were phenomenal. Eliseo and his daughter provided directions, terrific advise on where to go and what to see. Eliseo was a charming and wonderful host. We tremendously enjoyed our stay and would have written a review sooner; however we experienced a death in the family and were unable to.
Thank you for a wonderful stay !!!
Very nice appartement with a friendly host who gave us information about places and cities around Mira which are nice to visit. We really enjoyed our stay!
Thank you Eliseo, it was perfect time there. The appartment is very good, we reached Venice with train just in 15 Minutes. Thank you also for your tips! Robert

BLM issues draft Badlands Wilderness plan
Public comment sought; ONDA finds much to like so far
The Prineville District of the Bureau of Land Management said Tuesday it has developed a draft wilderness management plan and environmental assessment for the Oregon Badlands Wilderness, located about 14 miles east of Bend, north of Highway 20. The plan will be available for public review and comment until Sept. 30.
BLM policy requires that a wilderness plan be completed for each designated wilderness. The plan provides guidance for preserving and enhancing wilderness values while offering opportunities for solitude and primitive recreation, as well as managing other land uses and activities.
The EA analyzes four alternatives that range from a No Action (continue present management) Alternative to a "Human Activity Least Present" Alternative.
The alternatives address issues such as the location and design of trailheads, the number and placement of trails, the role of Special Recreation Permits, and limitations or requirements for types of uses such as rock climbing, hiking with dogs, or hiking with stock.
BLM welcomes comments, especially information the EA should take into account, additional ideas, or other alternatives that should be considered.
The EA and draft Finding of No Significant Impact (FONSI) are available at http://www.blm.gov/or/districts/prineville/plans/index.php. If you would like a hard copy, contact the Prineville BLM or stop by the office during business hours.
Rather than voting for or against a specific alternative, the BLM asks that you tell them why you like or don't like an alternative, or what you'd like to change, so they can be more responsive to concerns. Send your comments postmarked by Sept. 30, 2013, to one of the following addresses:
· US Mail: Prineville BLM, 3050 NE Third Street., Prineville, OR 97754
· Email: BLM_OR_PR_FRONT_DESK@ blm.gov (attn: Badlands EA in the subject line)
The Oregon Natural Desert Association, which lobbied for and now celebrates creation of the Badlands Wilderness Area, issued this initial statement Tuesday on the draft management plan/EA:
"ONDA and many others in Central Oregon cherish the Badlands Wilderness and have worked for decades to protect the area so we're very pleased to see progress on the Wilderness Management Plan.
"Our first impression of the draft plan is that the BLM has done a good job of gathering public input, identifying key issues and proposing actions that will result in an effective plan for managing the Badlands Wilderness.
"The plan is an opportunity to restore and preserve the natural character of the area while maintaining and improving recreation opportunities.
"Finding ways to rehabilitate historical abuses in the Badlands is important and it is equally important to do so in ways that retain the wild character of the area.
"As popularity of the Badlands continues to increase, improving and clarifying access points to minimize impacts from trail users are important steps to reduce any impacts of recreation and crowding in the wilderness area.
"It is gratifying to see the wilderness protection process unfolding in a way that includes public input from the many people who love the Badlands. ONDA will continue our review of the draft Wilderness Management Plan and will provide detailed comments to the BLM to assist in finalizing the plan. "

text: The "cheeriness" was probably in anticipation of the top skaters performing well, but that went off track awhile ago. I guess thanks for the link. I hope Adam is not deluding himself by saying that his sp is "the best" he skated all season. That is definitely not true. The quoted post-sp responses from Adam and Jeremy do not sound promising. But at least Hersh is not blaming USFS -- or maybe he is a little for their agreeing to send Jeremy to the Challenge Cup. I hope Adam and Jeremy are able to take the huge weight off their shoulders.

Jarrell Miller on Cro Cop: "I'm Gonna Knock His Head Off"
- Published in Interviews
The biggest bummer in Kickboxing over the past few years was when Jarrell "Big Baby" Miller stopped fighting in Kickboxing after the controversial loss to Mirko "Cro Cop" Filipovic in 2013. There was no big announcement, no big farewell, Jarrell just went back to focusing on what he does best; Boxing. Jarrell is big, he's fast and he hits hard, which is incredibly valuable in the Boxing ring, but he also has that one extra thing that will make him a star; Jarrell Miller can talk.
So when I saw a message earlier today from Jarrell asking if I could talk for a bit, I knew what I was in for. We ran a series of interviews with Jarrell leading up to his K-1 debut in 2012 and ran a few more around the time of his fight with Cro Cop and there is one thing that we know for certain; Jarrell is a firecracker. Much in the way that Joe Schilling always talks and people listen, Jarrell has the same gift. When we were talking I found myself smiling or laughing more often than not. Why? Because everything that comes out of Jarrell's mouth is honest, it's real and it's all gold.
In fact, I've bugged Jarrell a few times over the past year to feel him out if he'd think about returning to Kickboxing. It was always the same thing; if the timing and the money are right. So when he was heading into his last fight on May 15th against Joshua Harris there was already an offer on the table for Jarrell to return to Kickboxing to fight Cro Cop. "The motivation just hasn't been there to fight Kickboxing again," he explained. The Cro Cop fight was his biggest fight to date and for many they believed that he won, only for the Croatian judges to come out and talk about them enforcing their own rules about "holding" while ignoring Cro Cop's headbutts.
Nobody can blame Jarrell for not being excited about Kickboxing anymore, not with his Boxing career taking off. We can't tell you what kind of stuff that he's been working on in Boxing, but it's potentially huge for him. If you've heard him talk and seen him fight you know that this guy could be a star, what's worse for those holding the money is that he knows it. So when Jarrell found himself sitting in the club after his round two TKO win over Harriss, it dawned on him, "Man, I gotta fight Cro Cop. This has to happen."
That's when the talks got serious and when Jarrell realized that this was going to happen again. "If there was going to be one thing to motivate me to come back to Kickboxing, it was going to be Cro Cop," he stated. "Now I've got the chance to do that, and you know what? Main event on Spike TV. The timing is right, the money is right, the deal was right. The timing couldn't be any more perfect. I'm at 89% right now already, after a few more weeks of training? Ha!"
The motivation to Kickbox might not have been there for him over the past few years, but that doesn't mean that he hasn't been watching. In fact, he's acutely aware of what to expect from Mirko Cro Cop on June 21st. "Are you kidding? He's throwing what, like 40 punches a round and like five kicks? C'mon, man. I'm over here in training throwing 200 strikes a round and kicks? Forget about it, I'm going to kick him and he's not going to know what hit him! I'm going to knock his head off! He's slow."
Although, he is willing to give Cro Cop his due. "You know, I thought that he beat Bonjasky. With Bonjasky, I saw that fight with Braddock Silva and he was getting beaten up, so then GLORY gives him a big sendoff, but they did it in the wrong place against the wrong guy. I thought that Cro Cop won that fight, you know? That's why I can't let it go to the judges again."
For now Jarrell is just committed to this one fight with GLORY, but he seems open to the idea of more if the timing and money are right. One would have to think that it all depends on how this fight with Mirko goes, but it's clear that GLORY sees him as a valuable name to bring in on short notice like this.

Playa del Carmen
Everyone knows that I am not a fan of pasty skin, but in all fairness, I practise what I preach, and go to great lengths to ensure that whenever possible, I am nicely tanned so as not to be 'bungled in' with my fellow whities. As I mentioned in my previous entry, Tulum was quite a way from the beach, so I decided to spend a few days in Playa del Carmen before flying back to Mexico City. The plan was to stay at a hostel a short distance from the beach and spend three full days basking in the glorious sunshine which had been present, but not fully exploited, in Tulum.
I arrived on Friday evening, and had a flight booked for Tuesday morning. I don't have much to report though. This was the weather:
Friday (evening arrival): Sunshine.
Saturday: Total cloud cover and thunderstorms.
Sunday: Total cloud cover and thunderstorms.
Monday: Total cloud cover and thunderstorms.
Tuesday (morning departure): Sunshine.
I'm not kidding. And to be honest, it threatened to put a dampener on my entire trip. Especially as Mexico City had sunshine up until I returned on the Tuesday, where it then proceeded to rain every day until my flight home. When you go somewhere purely for good weather, bad weather throws a proverbial spanner in the works. But the good news is, I've now succesfully negotiated my way through fifty games of Free Cell.
Mexico City
Back in Distrito Federal, I continued my form of lounging around and not getting up to much in capital cities. I went out with Suha one night to a couple of cool bars, but it didn't take long before I was feeling tired and sick and needed to go home. Standard. I also bumped into Rucha, who I met on my first few days in Buenos Aires, although our paths merely crossing rather than running parallel thwarted a chance of a proper catch up.
Suha and I also watched an entire series of 'Pretty Little Liars', which is about as masculine a programme as it sounds. Episode 1 came on the television, and after five minutes had elapsed, I bit my tongue when all I wanted to mutter was "What is this shit? Can we watch something else please?"
Ten minutes later and my opinion of it had improved. In fact, I was getting quite into it. 3 days and 22 episodes later, the series was complete and I considered if I should do something a bit more productive with my ever-evapourating Mexican hours.
We headed out to Chapultepec Park, as the sun was out (shock horror) and I wasn't going to miss an opportunity like this. When we arrived at 12:30, the guard told us that the park was closed until 1:15. He didn't give a reason, it just was. We decided to wait, but I had spotted a huddle of clouds on the horizon. 1:15 came around, so we again stood at the gate. This time, the guard, taking a break from his obviously hectic schedule of sitting down, chatting with his colleagues, and reading a book, informed us that actually, the park was not going to open at all. I looked up to the heavens in disgust, and noted that the once-distant cloud-huddle was now very much part of the action. As we traipsed away from the locked gates, there was a performance by some traditional Mexicans (Is traditional the right word? Maybe... Original? Indian? Browner?) taking place. They climbed to the top of an extremely tall pole, tied themselves on with a few ropes, and then let themselves drop, as if they were bungee jumping, except the taught rope unravels gradually, whilst one of the performers played a tune on a recorder-type instrument. The procession lasted about twenty minutes, and I guess the guys must have had quite a headrush by the end. I wondered if they have many accidents, as they climb the pole freestyle. It was nice to stop and see this circus-like act, but we quickly moved on as the storm was moving in...
I flew home on Monday night and had very little sleep overnight on the plane. I guess this shouldn't come as a great surprise; Economy class, even on British Airways, has rarely been acknowledged as a prime location for dreamcatching. After spending a night in London, I returned to Winchester and can now be found aimlessly wandering from room to room, wondering when I'm going to get round to unpacking that huge slug of a bag and put my clothes through the washing machine, before finally deciding that it can wait until after I've browsed the internet for a while. This cycle repeats continuously. Suha is coming to stay next week though, so I ought to sort myself out...
So, has travelling changed me? In a word, no. As you've probably guessed from reading my blogs, I am still very much the same cynical, intolerant and misanthropic person that I was when I left Deloitte almost a year ago. I do feel though, that during this second adventure, I have learnt to relax a little more (but only marginally), I can speak fractionally better Spanish and am one step closer to working out what I want to do with my life. 'One' being the operative word, as it seems there are still hundreds more ahead of me.
Perhaps the key thing I have taken from my voyage is the knowledge that I can do trips like these on my own, and that places which appear such a long way from home aren't nearly such an effort to visit. In future, I know that if I can't convince anyone to come with me to a place I want to see, I'll probably just go on my own, whereas before this trip I would have given up on the prospect.
I think my 'travelling' bug has been placated, at least in the short term. I never had any concerns about being on my own, but there were times when I would have liked to have been with some good friends, mainly because I probably would have been open to more activites if someone else was joining me for the experience (i.e. straying from the Gringo Trail from time to time).
That being said, I encountered many people along the way, and whilst there were a handful who failed to enrich my trip, most of them have been friendly, many of them offered various pearls of wisdom, and some even emerged as friends.
A few highlights, in approximate choronological order, have been:
- Endless views, horse riding and chocolate in Bariloche.
- Climbing the Volcano in Pucon, and more importantly, sliding back down in the snow whilst listening to Ski Sunday.
- Discovering that I simply don't like clubbing. And in fact, unless I'm with the right group of people, I don't really like any sort of 'fun'. This was a bit of a watershed moment for me. I know, I know, I am a right barrel of laughs.
- Seeing a River Plate game, and continuing my superb form of jinxing just about everything I turn my attention to. As I stepped into the stadium, River were currently 1 point off the top of the table, and unbeaten in their first seven games. 90 minutes later, they were no longer undefeated, and at the end of the season, they were relegated for the first time in their 110-year history. Sorry about that.
- Two World Wonders. Machu Picchu was incredible and significantly better than Chichen Itza, but that was cool to see as well.
- Dune buggying, sandboarding, and sunbathing in Huacachina.
- Seeing friends from my first trip in Mexico (especially Suha, ahhhh)
- Swimming in the Cenotes in Tulum, and then seeing Sea Turtles whilst snorkeling off the coast at Akumal.
- Writing this blog.
And that's about it really. I have enjoyed keeping a record of my trip. If you have been reading please let me know, as I like to hear who has been following my escapades. I hope it has been a fairly entertaining way to avoid work in the office (I haven't totally forgotten what the real world is like)!

Discussion in 'Great Skate Debate' started by fan, Dec 29, 2012.
They got their wish: they'll be in the first group of the FS.
so, dont knwo if this is a joke or what, but krasnopolski is on ice partner searrch as of this AM.
He was born in Ukraine, so I will add him to the Aliona guessing game.
Yep, he's on Icepartner search...
Im just seeing this. I must say for those of us who have met Danielle she is quite a classy lady !
I am really shocked. I thought that Davidovich/Krasnopolski were very promising and have managed to attain a very high level of skating for such a short time together.
That's shocking and sad! They were so good at the Europeans
Is it easy to get Israeli citizenship, or is he originally from some other nation (Russia)? Could he skate with Savchenko, even though he's pretty below her level?
It is very difficult to get israeli citizenship. He is Israeli. Im beginning to wonder if he has a problem staying with a partner???
I agree. Awesome interview and charming lady! Thank you for that.
Sorry to see this happen!
I hope that's not the end of the dream to have Israel in the team event at 2018
I watched pairs with my Sister, When K\D were in the K&C she immediately said "They're gonna split",
Their body language was very telling, No contact, Big gap between.
I can't believe they split, and the Olympics isn't even over yet. Let the poor girl enjoy the rest of the event!
That is very disappointing news. They were very impressive at Europeans, considering they were only a new partnership. I wonder who would he pair up? Anastasia Martiusheva? Obviously she would need to improve her jumping consistency.
I always thought once you had jewish heritage that it was 'relatively' easy to get Israeli citzenship. Look at Shelepen
It's easy to get Israeli citizenship if you're Jewish. She could convert.
And he is originally from Ukraine, just as she is.
I see a couple of possibilities here.
If you have Jewish heritage you can prove (at least one of your grandparents IIRC?), then yes.
Davidovich was a pretty consistent jumper I thought and she mastered pair elements quite quickly. And she was very young still with a lot of potential. It won't be easy for him to find another partner this good.
Maybe they just didn't get along on a personal level.
Its interesting how things are perceived from both outside and up close. I have been following the pair from initial Montalbano / krasnopolski pairing . They struggled at first as they were both new pair skaters. Over the years , not sure ziggy if you were at Europeans
Berne,when Danielle dislocated her shoulder during official practice, but I was in dressing room listening to the poor girl apologizing to her partner while being taken off ona stretcher in ambulette. Research tells me when she broke her ankle they were just off a bronze medal and ranked 22 in world. Montalbano fought to go to the Olympics, he didnt wait for her to heal. His right, but i dont think he will think twice about moving on. I see Danielle is still on ice partner search.
I hope she succeeds. Some how nice guys always seem to finish last.
Btw Ziggy , thanks for all your commentaries. I enjoy your words.
Really hope Davidovich continues and gets PapaBoria to find her a new partner. It would be fun seeing them competing against each other next Europeans taking they earned 2 spots for Israel.
In his interview to the Israeli press Krasnopolski stated his goal were the Olympics. He also said one of the reasons dumping Montalbano was deciding she will prevent him from reaching his goals and Davidovich seemed a safer bet. He reached his goal, participated the Olympics, made it to the LP. I hope his next goal is a brain implantation surgery, going back to Davidovich if she'll have him and continuing skating
Ha!!!!! Is all I can say!! And he didnt Dump Montalbano although you seem to know so much. Broken ankle does not equate with DUMP. It equates to same callousness that seems to have broken up this partnership. But you know best!!!!
How does dropping a partner who wants to continue together not equal to dump? Isn't that part of your whole point, evil Evgeni dumped poor injured Dani and deprived of her of an Olympic spot? You need to be more consistent.
Yes to all of that. And the last sentence made me think of this movie scene.
You know, it would kind of maybe make sense if he had a much stronger partner lined up. But he is on IPS so he doesn't.
I feel sorry for Montalbano but I can understand Krasnopolski dumping her because she was seriously injured and he wanted to go to the Olympics. Tough for her but it's life. But this break-up, I cannot understand at all.
I agree Ziggy. I am sure Montalbano wanted to go to olympics too and was on her way .Zemgirl and Tabhka have it out for Montalbano always have. I am quite consistent ask the magazine I write for. I feel Krasnopolski has serious issues and feel for any partner. A partnership involves a little consideration on both parts. That is why there are so few pairs. Look at Max and Tonya . Beautiful skaters, and relationship with mutual respect not one sided ambition.
Shouldn't the thread title be changed to "Insert skater name here/Evgeni Krasnopolsky split" ?
I have no opinion about Montalbano, only about your overzealous advocacy on her behalf.
And I'm that you used Volosozhar and Trankov as an example here (it's Tatiana, not Tonya, BTW). You do recall that Trankov dumped his previous partner and essentially ended her career in order to pair up with Volosozhar, don't you?
There's nothing wrong with being ambitious. It got Trankov an OGM and Krasnopolski a trip to the Olympics, and I doubt either of them would have gotten as far with their original partners.
sorry, i should have started a new thread so that montalbano wasn't brought into the discussion
If only half of the crap between Trankov's former partner and their coach is true, the Trankov had every reason to end that partnership, regardless off what happened with Volosozhar. They had different technique when they got together, and there was no guarantee they'd be OGM-worthy by Sochi, especially with the way S/S were skating in the middle of the cycle and the excellence of their programs. I wouldn't have faulted Trankov -- who I don't think is a saint, BTW -- for dumping Murkhortova to skate with Montalbano.
Exactly. So he's split with Davidovich now? Wow. They looked great in Euros and fine at Oly, even if it was not as impressive. Davidovich is such a sparkling, sunny skater. What a shame.

[quote user="bigblue4417"][quote user="MattMeyerBud"][quote user="bigblue4417"][quote user="MattMeyerBud"]as i sat home last night and watched XFactor with blondie because i guess i'm a ***, I started to think of you (which probably makes me more of a ***) because it was Michael Jackson night
I couldn't help but be reminded of how you were willing to fight to death for Michael but were so ready to slit the throat of anybody that was within 100 yards of the Penn St. Situation.
Yea, I watched it to. lol It's actually not that bad of a show if you can humble yourself.
Remind me when MJ got indicted by a federal grand jury? I don't recall 10 kids coming forward saying MJ touched them either. No one has came forward since he died and said anything. Weird?
are u suggesting that MJ wasn't indicted? I do recall people doing that. Its just amazing that you think that Paterno (the guy who didn't do it) should be held just as accountable as the guy that did and all of this, but u have a ton of excuses for MJ. But a guy like MJ who has more money than god (and i dont doubt some were just trying to get money) couldn't buy himself out of the situation
Oh, thats right he just slept with the kids. I heard sandusky just took showers with em
I never said Paterno should be held just as accountable. He should be held as morally accountable as anyone else who did nothing but he didn't touch these kids. Maybe even a little more because of who he was and what he stood for.
When I read that all I see is not guilty, not guilty and not guilty. He did settle with some kids and others he was proven by a court of law to have done nothing or people were lying. I don't condone what MJ did and would never let my kids around him let alone sleep in a bed with him for what people have accused. He has just never been found guilty of anything and you are convinced he is. No one can change your mind on that. Maybe he did, maybe he didn't but people have come forward and said their parents told them to lie or admitted they just lied to get money. He put himself in some very bad positions and made himself easy to extort.
I really don't want to start this again either.
What Sandusky did is not even remotely close to MJ. The fact you compare the 2 is wrong.
yes he is.. .they both touched kids. They both crossed that line and the fact that sandusky passed that line FAR more is moot. They are both scumbags
bottom line, if u didn't have a ****** for MJs music you wouldn't be saying this - truth
You can bring up the fact he wasn't found guilty all you want and its true he wans't so he shouldn't see jail. But we both agree that Casey Anthony did it and is a scumbag
you have ur blinders on. To take a line from your argument about Joe Pa: "what if that was your kids"
i doubt u'd be okay with it

what the law says about keeping cockerels
I live in a village and I bought 2 hens and two baby chickens. One of the chick has grown into a cockerel. He is a grown up now and has desire to sing his lung out at various times of the day. My neighbours at the rear came to complain today about the noise and said that there is a law that does not allow to keep cockerel in residential areas. We live in a village in the counteryside.
I would like to know if there is such a law and would it apply in the village settings.
Can you advise what to do as I would not like to get rid of him as he is a very beutiful silkyhead cockerel.

Re: what the law says about keeping cockerels
There is no National Law about keeping chickens or cockerels in a residential area, unless it is a commercial enterprise.
However, there may be local bye-laws about keeping livestock, or there may be restrictive covenants on your house or land which govern the keeping of livestock. There is also the laws relating to "Nuisance" - whether from noise or otherwise, and the laws relating to cruelty to animals - though I am sure that the latter will not apply in your case.
Consult Citizens advice, or talk to others who keep chickens locally - they may be able to help. Don't let picky neighbours get away with telling you that "they'll have the law on you".

Re: what the law says about keeping cockerels
I live in a residential area and the same happened to me, One of my girls went broody, I already had a cockrel but to be honest his crow was quieter than the girls when there were hungry .I let her sit on her 5 eggs, 2 were empty , 3 hatched , 1 chick died and the 2 left wer cockrels, .I rang our local council (rotherham) and there were no laws to say you could not keep cockrels they just said if there were any complaints I may have to keep them locked up till 8am (only fair ) I have to say I think I am know as the mad chicken woman on the end of the road but who cares really, its a shame some people are ssooooooo narrow minded.
Also different breeds have different crows so if you don't mind which breed you keep look for a quieter breed. I have a Brahma who is a good lad.
all the best, Lesley xx

Re: what the law says about keeping cockerels
"Picky neighbours" , "narrow minded people" - what about consideration for others ? Cockerels are a self-indulgent luxury that aren't appropriate in residential areas.

Re: what the law says about keeping cockerels
Your home is supposed to be somewhere that is safe and you can feel comfortable in - why so dome people have to try and make it as unpleasant as posisble for you?? Narrow minded people - I agree!! Try living under the flight path of the Hercs that fliy in and out of Lyneham - they are a lot noisier than my 'natural' cockerel, but who moans about them?? Personally I believe in live ane let live.
I have had various dealings with my local Environmental Health department regarding "noisy boy" - and I have found them to be pretty helpful. They were very open to meet me (and him!) and acted as 'mediators' when I agreed to move my cockerel from back to front garden, away from the neighbours who disliked his crowing.
Sadly now my hen who lived happily with him has died - I need a new home for my cockerel as it is not fair to keep him on his ownsome any body any ideas? I live in rural Wiltshire, there must be someone out there who has some hens that need some loving!!

Re: what the law says about keeping cockerels
i was at a freinds house on the wknd and the neighbor's rooster crowed from 3am until morning. i felt pretty tired and haggard the next day and thought that there must be a way to keep him quiet...or quieter. people need to sleep. in the old days EVERYBODY got up at 4am to do the farm chores. life is different now....but as another post says. it's about consideration for others. it's appropriate to live and let live-- but if you are not letting me sleep. WATCH OUT.
sorry about your loss and your lonely bird.

Re: what the law says about keeping cockerels
I only just spotted this, so hope I'm not too late to contribute. We also have a very noisy cockerel (and a quiet one). I think I should be free to keep a noisy cockerel if I like but I also think my neighbours have a right to sleep a reasonable number of hours. At present we keep him at night in a little double glazed building in the garden where our visitors usually stay and let him out at 6.30 - I think this is reasonable as if you go to work you probably have to get up about then anyway. If you don't go to work then you can sleep when you like really. Anyway, we intend to build a small breeze-block building for him which will hold sufficient air to keep him going all night until 6.30 in the morning and which will contain the noise. I think to "live and let live" you could add "a little give and take".

Re: what the law says about keeping cockerels
Here in Australia unfortunately there is such a ruling, and we also had complaints from our neighbours and we live in a similar place, small wine growing country village. I could not bring myself to get rid of my cockerel, so what I do each night is he has his own little wooden box with a lid and air holes. We place him in it at 10.30 at night or thereabouts in the hen house, he has straw and is quite happy to go into it now, it is not tall enough for him to stretch up to allow him to crow, and we let him out with the hens at 8am. We now call him chook-in-a-box. He is happy and we have saved his life, and the neighbours no longer complain.

UTSA receives $1.2M gift for music education
By Kris Rodriguez
Public Affairs Specialist
(Oct. 28, 2008)--The UTSA Department of Music has been awarded a $1.2 million estate gift to establish the Charlotte Louise Dashiell and Lota M. Spell Fund. The endowment will be used to establish and maintain music education programs for children ages three to 12 and to train music teachers devoted to teaching children in this age group.

The donation from the estate of Houston resident Lota Rae Wilkinson, who died at age 96. The gift was made in memory of her great aunt, Charlotte Louise Dashiell, and her mother, Lota Mae Spell. While Wilkinson's mother performed, studied and taught piano in Austria and Germany, Dashiell raised Wilkinson and was instrumental in developing her interest in music.
In 1910, Spell moved to San Antonio, where her grandfather, Jeremiah Dashiell, had raised his family and directed the music department at Melrose Hall for four years. Later, she met and married Jefferson Spell, an accomplished professor of classic literature at the University of Texas at Austin. While in Austin, Lota Mae Spell directed the Nettie Lee Benson Latin American Collection. The couple went on to accomplished careers as educators in both music and literature at UT Austin.
Among Lota Mae Spell's long list of accomplishments was her knowledge of foreign languages. Her mastery of German, French, Italian, Latin and Spanish helped her draw wide recognition for her research in musical development throughout the western hemisphere, particularly in the Southwest and Mexico.
She served as editor of Texas Music News and associate editor of The Musicale and Southwestern Musician magazine. For 32 years, Spell taught music to children at her studio in Austin and promoted musical education for children with bulletins she prepared for the University Interscholastic League. For her contributions, she was named a fellow by the Texas State Historical Association.
"Ms. Wilkinson understood the excellence of our music department and it's critical position in South Texas with respect to the advancement of the arts," said Daniel Gelo, dean of the UTSA College of Liberal and Fine Arts. "Her phenomenal gift will ensure the continuance of several current programs that serve young music learners, prepare teachers and fund innovative new programs that will keep UTSA in the vanguard of child music education."
With approximately 300 undergraduate and graduate music majors, the UTSA Department of Music has established a reputation as a leader among Texas universities. The department offers a complete curriculum with 11 major ensembles, numerous chamber ensembles and nearly 200 recitals, concerts, master classes and workshops throughout the year.

Plumbers and professors. It's hard to think of two more divergent jobs. And in today's differentiated education, you could argue that their high school preparation should vary as much as their goals. Students go out to do many different things in the world; surely their knowledge base ought to be different as well.
But the research shows us something different. It turns out that no matter what students do after graduation -- whether they get jobs or attend college -- students all need challenging courses in high school.
