Discussion in 'Great Skate Debate' started by Sugar, Mar 20, 2013.
And yet you keep posting in this thread, not an effective way to show that you don't care.
Come on, how can expressing his opinion is going to hurt Plushnko? He will compete on home ice in Sochi.
Chan's win at 2012 Worlds that allegedly caused "one of the biggest scandals" in figure skating happened in France, not Canada.
I wish Virtue and Moir had enjoyed the same treatment from the judges as Patrick Chan for competing on home ice. If you can make some mistakes and still win, V/M should have won the entire competition but instead of that they didn't even win the free dance where they were quite flawless IMO.
You was the person, who wrote yesturday, that Plushy admires Chan..yes? Plushy admires Chan today too, but he has an opinion about WCH, like have the other skaters and experts.
He came from Israel two days ago, and I'm sure he has watched the programs on Youtube. He always has opinion about the competitions.
The other things what you wrote are ridiculous )) read Casey's 54th post )
If I were you, I wouldn't be talking this way. Save some face for your beloved skater, will ya?! ...As if your beloved skater doesn't have untouchable tiger tail...
Oh, there we go, when he loses in Sochi he can blame Skate Canada politicking if and when Chan finishes ahead of him, he's just trying to establish precedence. (Sarcasm, people, sarcasm! Though I cannot see how Plushenko will even medal. If he makes it there, I will happy just not seeing him permanently cripple himself on international television.)
It's the same (okay, a tad worse) than Johnny saying how after watching US Nationals he would have placed well. Tacky, sounds like sour grapes of some kind, hardly the worst thing anyone's every said. It's just a bit more tacky coming from someone who's ostensibly competition. Last time I looked, Todd was retired and Christina is in the womens' event. And I don't think any of them said that Chan only won because of Skate Canada working on his behalf.
Honestly, I think the same should be said to you. Where is that "Holier than thou" attitude come from?
The only reason why V&M did not win free dance (and overall) because they were not flawless. Their FD performance was their best on of the season but not entirely. There were moments where they were not polished , yet still their score was (rightfully imo) very high.
Americans were flawless and seems so me they can win if they are flawless and V&M make (tiny) mistakes.
As far as Plushenko, well I wish I could not predict his statements....
@EvgeniPlushenko, spasibo bolshoe, Zhenya! Skoreishego vyzdorovleniya!
Thank you very much, Zhenya! Get well soon
I guess Pluschenko noticed no one was missing him in London so needed to tweet to remind us he's still around?
I agree with Plushenko 100%.
Oh, that's right. When he did compete under IJS, e.g. at the Olympics, his programs with no transitions *didn't* win. Silly me, how could I have forgotten that?
Do you agree that Skate Canada influenced the outcome too?
2006 IJS was assumed so that is when.
Oh, how i like, when someone write (on behalf of all): "no one"
Here are part from today's longer Plushy's interview for russian newspaper...
- Leaders in single men skating is better in the year?
- Yes, there was even few sensations. In particular, 2nd place of Denis Ten. He is originally from Kazakhstan, but recently him prepared a wonderful coach Frank Carroll, who were engaged with Olympic champion Evan Lysacek and other famous skaters. So, Ten skated very well. As for the world leader Patrick Chan, I liked his short program, but free has disappointed me. Javier Fernandez, on the contrary, was third, well skated free program. But still, I was filled with great respect to Brian Joubert. A real man! In his 28 years, he well skated short, then free program - did two quads. I expected the judges for this performance will put him higher. I am surprised with Daisuke Takahashi. I thought he would be among winners. So, there was happened a lot of surprises.
WTF? He lost at the Olympics in 2010.
This is where that is from and what you wrote! I just assumed you were talking about 2006 which triggered the Inman score him at zero for transitions video
Lost, because he's got a lower scores for a short program (than he deserved) ... unlike Chan at Worlds 2013 - who got more...
Yeah he got fives in Vancouver Which wasn't seen seen again until below 20th place. Judges gave him 5.0 for transitions so he was scored below everyone else in the top 20!! A top 20 that had others with minimal transitions!
"no one"??? Really? Yesterday he had 100.000 followers on twitter..In this moment he has 100.353..maybe some people from them missed him....
Maybe brought out by the haters?!
I actually don't have a skater that I constantly devoting myself to like lala.
I'm Plushy's über, but I also adore the figure skating. I watched it in my whole life.. And that is absolute irrelevant what you think about me. You don't know me, and in this forum needed a Plushy über..
Transitions were only one part of PCS, and how many skaters that skated under 6.0 most of their lives made a sudden switch to add transitions before the jumps?
A lot of Plushenko's high scores came from delivering the program with confidence, and whether you agree or not, expressing the music. He did have exciting footwork. He was no Takahashi in that area, but still pretty good.
I am glad that transitions are getting credit now, but when a skater falls due to transitions, that's not worthy of high marks.
Here's what he got for transitions in the short:
7.50 7.50 5.00 8.00 7.50 7.75 5.00 6.00
and in the long:
8.75 6.00 8.00 8.75 6.00 6.50 7.25 7.25
Oda, who was fourth in the short, also got a 5. So no, those marks "weren't seen again until below 20th place". And several other skaters in the Top 10 also got 6s, 7.5, and 8s.
Plushy is entitled to voice his opinion, just as Chan has on many occasions on a variety of subjects. A controversial win is going to spark a lot of debate; it's par for the course.
Oda got one 5.75 plushenko got two 5.00 you did not see 5.00 until below 20th!! Rather than be happy that plushenko was the only one in the top 20 to get 5.00 you still harp on his scores not being low enough!! He got low horrendous scores in the sp! And it was not just in pcs but goe. He was royally hosed in the sp and was of on par with people who would not even make the lp by some judges. No one was treated so harshly in the whole men's event. No he needed zeroes!! 5.00 was not low enough!! And the next lowest was almost a full point higher!
*sigh* So, Plushenko offers a common opinion, speaks of something that apparently ~should not be spoken of~ (the politiking), and of course, he's the big bad evil villain.
Oh, and we're back to Vancouver. He's over it, so can everyone else be, please?
I was trying to view his skating from people who don't like him! He's very good and I agree with what you write but like where is Inman and others coming from and what would there solution be. This whole focus on transitions like it's Tes and pcs and s third category transitions! If you don't like the sweeping across the board sameness of pcs marks say that! Apply it to everybody !!

Mentoring is overrated. When involved with someone at a bee meeting and they want me to come by to show them I will, a few times. At the next meeting I'll ask them how the bees are. If they say they haven't checked since the last time I was there I ask them if they read any books if they say no and they want some more help sorry I'm very busy and don't have time. It's not too hard to tell who is serious or not.
Im really not that serious
I knew what the end of the story was as soon as you started it -- you did fine, probably did more than you really should have, but an 11 year old boy typically has the attention span of a gnat on a hot plate. Don't despair -- it's sad to see a hive die out when you know what would have taken care of it, but it's not yours and you will teach a better lesson by just waiting for them to call.
If they don't, well, you needn't worry about it. Who knows, in a few more years the boy might decide he wants to keep bees again, and this time don't do any of the work, let him do it all and ask you what to do when he can't figure it out.
You will, I think, find other people to mentor who will really be interested, and that will be very rewarding. You do have to tolerate millions of repetitious questions though. All new beeks, even those with lots of "book learning" are going to have no hands on knowledge and endless questions that have fairly obvious answers. I certainly did, but I should have had someone look at the hive more, I'd have saved that first one from starvation.
Good luck -- some lucky new beek is going to get a real jumpstart on beekeeping from you someday!
funny, that's what happened to me.....
journaling the growth of a treatment free apiary started in 2010. 20+/- hives
uh, I thought real men drink beer and fish?
"If all you have is a hammer, the whole world is a nail." - A.H. Maslow
So many excellent points made above.
BTW, I want someone to design a beesuit that lets me work the hives AND drink beer at the same time. It will require a specially-designed veil.
I'm a writer, and almost everyone who finds out says they want to write a book. I used to always offer my help, until I realized that 99% of the people were unwilling to even sit down and type. Same with your mentorship and bees. Sounds like they wanted you to do all the work so they could just sit back and enjoy the bees. I agree that you should try to get the bees/hive/equipment for your own. Do it for the beezers, and let these people find another "hobby."

People like to try new things, and some things work out. Some things don't! It is quite possible that the 11 year old expressed an interest in bees that, upon his actually experiencing bees and beekeeping, did not blossom into a passion. It is also very possible that his parents killed the interest through something I see a lot, which is a parent who both lacks the understanding of when to step in and support the kid in a new learning curve, and pressures the child to excel. The subtext ends up reading something like "get this right and do me proud, or I will be upset...oh, and this cost a bundle of money, so don't screw up". Or to put that another way, things are all about them, not the child.
Finally, and I am just putting this out there...the chronic disorganization and foggy communications are typical of families in which alcohol or some other large issue is a problem. Sounds like the family system is stressed out for some reason and just could not take on that one more thing, including a stranger in the house seeing how they roll.
I'm sure you did what you could and more. Maybe your expectations were too high or too attatched to results. Not your fault.
Mark Berninghausen
I help a family started out with two hives of brand new equipment and package bees that I sold to them. In all the spent $500 on the bees and equipment. During the first two months they had only inspected the hives once each. They were very strong, duoble deeps and I was impressed. The family seemed to want to get rid of the so I just randomly offered them $100 each for the hives. They said, "They're yours!" So I moved them to my best yard, and got three supers of honey from each hive this fall. I would just offer them a reasonable price, and get the hive off their hands.
Actuslly, IHO, The clue is in the 1st sentence "an 11 year old boy". No eleven year old boy I know should be the starting stimulus for beekeeping unless another family member is ready to take responsibility for it when (not if) he looses interest.
All 11 year old boys are not the same. I know some 11 year old boys that have done some amazing things and stuck with hobbies started at younger ages right thru adults. Now this may not be typically but I would not throw all 11 year old boys under the bus just because of their age.
I mentored a group who will remain nameless here. I had great hopes of promoting beekeeping through this group. We set up an apiary and I elicited donations of bees and equipment from various bee suppliers and had a sign made up acknowledging their largesse. Even though the apiary is at least a 2-hr drive from my home, I gave the standard NC State Beekeepers short course in beekeeping and spent several days at the apiary instructing as to work that needs to be done over the course of the year. My instructions were never followed and there were at least 3 visits that I made that were to undo the problems that arose since the bees had been ignored or worked improperly. I was in constant state of worry for those poor bees from the onset and to be truthful, when the cool weather set in in this area this year I just let go of the project and convinced myself to refuse to worry about it any more. I'm pretty sure that if there are any bees left at this point that they won't make it through the winter. I initially was blaming myself, but I've comem to the conclusion I've done all that I can. You should do the same.
People are buying bees with less regard than they buy goldfish, kittens and puppies. My experience from the '70s bee boom and posts here indicate that most of this equipment, bees long one, will soon be for sale at pennies on the dollar, or free even. When everybody you chat with gleefully exclaims "Oh we are thinking of getting some bees" you know the world has turned upside down.
Needed for goldfish - bowl, flakes, net, water.
Puppies - collar, leash, bowl, kibble, brush, water, pooper scooper
Kittens - bowl, cans, kibble, water.
BEES - well, you know the list as well as I do....Plus knowledge, training, common sense, reading, studying... a lot more than pets.
OdFrank, the hardest part of my first year was the neighbours. They turned out to be very fussed about the bees, very controlling and negative, intensely conventional. Which is astonishing, as you would never know the bees were even in our yard if you could not see them. Our patio table is maybe 20'-25' away from the hive, and honestly, we never noticed one there or in the house (aside from ones that I accidentally carried in on equipment). Nonetheless, that negativity really takes the fun out of beekeeping. I suspect neighbour issues drive a lot of new beekeepers out of the hobby.
Fortunately for me, I have found beeyard space in surrounding agricultural land. Not every urban beekeeper has that option.
I am planning on keeping one hive here at home, but honestly do not expect that to go well from a neighbour point of view.
Then, next spring, you have a private location for that hive.

Welcome to the
Department of Management
Management is the applied discipline that concerns how to get things done with and through people. A typical breakdown of management functions would be: planning, organizing, directing, and controlling. In various management courses, students learn how to perform each of these functions. In addition, managers serve in informational, decisional, and interpersonal roles. In their informational roles, managers tell employees about what needs to be done to advance the business. Much of this role is done over the telephone and face to face. Then managers are called upon to make decisions about scarce resources. This involves how to allocate resources to accomplish the business's objectives.
Often, business decisions must be made without complete information or in situations where there is a great deal of uncertainty as what will happen as a result of the decision. Last, the manager speaks for his/her department or unit. This may include communicating to top management or perhaps communicating to newspapers or television. As is clear from the description above, management is a demanding career, but it is also very rewarding for those who are good at it. For students who want a major that is focused on skills and knowledge that are real world and lead to a real job, the Management Department has offerings for you; we give students the tools they will need to enter into and succeed in this fascinating and challenging career.
The Department of Management
at the Bryan School offers the following programs:

|st: RE: Convention RE ado's which may redefine value labels
|Tue, 19 Nov 2002 10:33:14 -0800
These are very good points. In support of this idea, I note that many users rely on value labels to document their data. If these get clobbered inadvertently, then so does the documentation. Of course, I don't mean to suggest that value labels can replace proper documentation, but even casual reliance on value labels to define coded variables should be able to assume that assigned labels will only change by intention. -----Original Message----- From: email@example.com [mailto:firstname.lastname@example.com]On Behalf Of firstname.lastname@example.com Sent: Tuesday, November 19, 2002 10:20 AM To: firstname.lastname@example.com Subject: st: Convention RE ado's which may redefine value labels I am writing an egen function which, among other things, assigns a new value label to the newly generated variable. I am concerned that a label with the same name may already be defined and wish that existing labels be protected. Several strategies could be used to get around this such as checking whether a particular value label exists, combined with either: i) exiting the routine while informing the user that this particular label is already defined; ii) request that the user specify a unique label name via a labname() option; or iii) generate a unique name using a -tempvar labname- call. That said, I am more concerned with "good coding practice" and consistency than with the specifics of a solution for my routine. The programming conventions as discussed on Statalist, or implied by official Stata routines, provide clear guidance with respect to new variables and new data files. For new variables, most routines use -capture confirm ...- early in the code to verify whether a variable already exists. For new data files, users are usually given the option to specify -replace-, to clarify that it is OK to overwrite data, otherwise, nothing is overwritten. I am not aware of a similar convention for value labels. I looked at the behaviour of -encode- to see how Stata would behave if I generated a variable with a name identical to a previously defined label (NB: -encode- uses the new variable name for the label name). It turns out that -encode- overwrites a existing labels of the same name. On the other hand, any -label define <labname>- statement is met with an error message if <labname> is already defined, unless option -, modify- is specified. See my postscript below for an example. One may point to the fact that Stata lets users overwrite scalars and matrices at will to suggest that labels do not deserve any particular protection. However, a fundamental difference between labels and scalars/matrices is that the latter are not saved with the data. Hence, overwriting labels _could_ be viewed as a modification to the data. I wrote _could_ since -describe- does not consider changes to value labels as being changes to the data. Consequently, users may exit Stata without a warning to the effect that the data has not been saved. At any rate, I am not hinting that -encode- should behave one way or another -- for now, I am taking its behaviour as a given. I am just wondering if there exists a preferred coding practice to prevent existing label from being overwritten and, possibly, seek a justification as to why changes to labels are not deemed to be changes to the data.

3D Systems: JP Morgan Ups Target to $60, Trims EPS Estimate on Higher R&D
J.P. Morgan's Paul Coster this morning reiterates a Neutral rating on shares of 3-D printer maker 3D Systems (DDD), while raising his price target to $60 from $58.50, after raising his revenue estimates but trimming his EPS number to reflect higher R&D investment by the company.
3D Systems closed up $1.20, or 1.5%, at $83.19.
Yesterday's announcement the company will buy some assets of Xerox (XRX) pertaining to "photopolymer jet" technology "should pay off in long-term growth prospects in the professional and production segments but will also lead to a 75% to 100% increase in R&D over the next few years," writes Coster.
Coster lowered his 2014 EPS number to $1.19 from a prior $1.28, while raising his revenue estimate to $628 million from $622 million. He trimmed his 2015 estimate by a penny to 31 cents, while raising his revenue number to $778 million from $749 million.
Coster was reassured regarding 3D Systems's competitive strength after seeing new products and technology unveiled at the Euromold conference two weeks ago:
We were impressed by DDD's product lineup at Euromold, particularly at the high end. We were concerned that the company was losing ground, particularly in the photopolymer jet space, but larger capacity, faster throughput, and new features suggest the firm's competitive position is strong. We are therefore raising our sales outlook for the professional and production products (and materials) and now look for top-line growth of over 23% through 2015.
Coster expresses some skepticism about 3D Systems's intention to raise its operating profit margin, however:
We expect margin improvement, but we apply a haircut to the firm's target business model. The company has provided a target business model that calls for 56% gross and 35% PF operating margins at a $400mm revenue run-rate, and 60% gross and 41% PF operating margins at a $500mm revenue run-rate. This points to margin expansion versus a 2012 business model that exhibited just 51% gross and 25% PF operating margins on revenue of $354 million. We believe some skepticism is warranted regarding how quickly the company can achieve its targets owing to a sequence of margin setbacks in 2011 and a downward revision to the target model. That said, we believe an upward margin trajectory is now probable over the next several years as the company integrates recent acquisitions, achieves economies of scale in the service bureau operations, and shifts the revenue mix toward consumable materials.
Update: In response to some reader confusion about Coster's price target, which is well below the current price, the following passage about Coster's valuation view on the stock may be useful:
Our Dec 2014 price target goes to $60.00, from $58.50, based on an unchanged multiple of 40 times revised CY15E PF EPS of $1.50 (prior $1.46). Though DDD stock is trading above our Dec 2014 price target and seems richly valued, we do not recommend selling positions; we look for pullbacks as long-term buying opportunities.

May 14, 2013 at 9:43 pm #1302937
It was pretty easy for me to put together a gear list, but I am struggling with a Pencil Solution.
My first thought was to use the little pencils you get at the golf course to keep score. I can't find these small pencils in a store. Would it be appropriate to ask the golf course if I could keep one? Would it be a moral issue if I kept one without asking, since the golf course here charges over $200 for green fees?
If these are too short, perhaps I could cut down one of the standard long pencils that are sold in stationary stores? Is this dangerous? They are called "lead" pencils, so do they contain hazardous materials? What should I cut them with? Wood or metal saw — or something else? Will I need specialize breathing equipment to protect my respiratory system?
How long should a pencil last (inch per miles)? Will I need something longer than the golf course pencil?
Would you suggest just using a long standard pencil? The eraser would come in handy.
Has anyone used a pencil as a tent stake? I could leave one of my tent stakes at home and use the pencil, saving 0.25 ounces. How would you handle writing if your pencil is in the ground?
Will the pencil attract bears, mountain lions or marmots? Should I store it in a bear canister at night?
Do pencils off-gas dangerous fumes? Anything I should be looking for?
What is the best way to carry a pencil? In my backpack or in my shirt pocket, or some other method? I am concerned about carrying a pointed pencil in my shirt pocket… I could fall and the point might pierce my heart. Maybe a pocket protector? How about some sort of clip to keep it secure in my shirt pocket?
How about a mechanical pencil? I could carry extra lead and erasers. But it would weigh more than a regular pencil. What maintenance should I expect to do with a mechanical pencil?
Actually a mechanical pencil might be lighter, because I cannot sharpen a pencil with just a razor blade. I would need to carry a knife. With a knife I could cut off my finger sharpening the pencil, so perhaps I need a FAK that could allow me to attach a severed finger? Or should I buy a SPOT instead?
Which is the best brand of pencils? I am looking for an environmentally responsible company.
Should I buy American? I don't want to negatively impact the US balance of trade or put an American worker out of a job.
Would it be better to use one of those Kevin Spacey Pens instead? Do they work when it is raining or in sub-freezing temperatures?
Once I resolve the pencil conundrum, I might need advice on paper. My thought is to purchase everyone one of the USGS Topo Maps for the JMT. This way I could write on the back of the maps – multi-purpose, you know. Or should I just buy a Tom Harrison map? They are water proof; can your write on them with a pencil or a pen? How much room is there in the margins to write? Is there enough room for a daily journal? Will I be breaking any copyright laws by writing on the map?
If writing on a map isn't acceptable, should I buy a notebook or something else? How about those small waterproof notebooks? Or should I stick with a linen paper? Is linen paper made from cotton? If it is, then no trees will be injured in the manufacture – correct?
Finally, is it possible to thru hike the JMT without a pencil and paper? I prefer not to take any electronic items.May 14, 2013 at 9:55 pm #1986197

Nick…you're not thinking bushcraft enough.
The pencil solution is easier than you think. My method will add zero grams to your spreadsheet.
Using my Gransfors Bruks hatchet, I will chop down enough trees to light a sizable fire with my flint, steel, and char cloth. Incidentally, any birds killed in the process of harvesting the lumber for the fire will be saved for smoking later. I have an excellent pemmican recipe that works with all manner of game animals.
I digress.
Fire raging, now comes the task of carefully selecting a hardwood sapling for straightness. I use my $250 handmade Finnish Puukko knife to strip the bark and leaves, whittling it down to a suitable pencil diameter with a sharp point (Save the shavings for smoking your birds).
Then simply fire harden the entire dowel (slowly). Once this step is complete I will char the tip for writing. Incidentally, you might as well make all your tent stakes at the same time. It is quite easy to whittle them while your pencil is cooling.
If you do have birds, render a little fat to help burnish the handle of your pencil. It creates a nice luster.
It's all so simple.
Bushcraft paper is another story.May 14, 2013 at 10:39 pm #1986213

Nick, I STRONGLY suggest you take an eraser. Unless you're taking extra paper you'll really want to correct those spelling mistakes and wrong word choices in your trail haikus and deep thoughts. It's no fun later reading your scribbled missives and seeing what a dumbass you were. I believe REI has a Hiker's Eraser. Its a touch heavy (maybe drill some holes in it), but bright orange so if you drop you'll easily find it. I think it will even erase not only No. 2 lead, but No. 1 as well. Have fun! Nothing like the JMT with a solid pencil and eraser in hand.

I wouldn't trust anything but a blackwing 602 for the JMT.
It has silky smooth lead that glides over maps at half the pressure of a normal pencil.
The eraser is adjustable. The black color blends into the surroundings, instead of distracting you from them.
If you can't get a blackwing in time, put off your JMT trip until you have one. You don't want to risk tarnished memories.
Hope this helps,
I used THIS on my JMT hike. The sharpener is useful for making shavings to start a stove.May 14, 2013 at 11:08 pm #1986225

How are you to fully connect with your surroundings with such distractions?!
One time, camped on the JMT, I heard the scribbling of an obvious newbie hiker hundreds of yards away scribbling in his notepad and thought "who brings such loud distractions to the wilderness!" Gosh, have some respect.May 14, 2013 at 11:34 pm #1986232
"you could offer to trade them some small condiment packages from a fast food place."
hmm… another Catch 22.May 14, 2013 at 11:36 pm #1986234
I am concerned about the lack of quality control, regarding the ergonomics of a properly sized diameter pencil.
I don't want to develop a physical ailment such as Thin Pencil Syndrome or Thick Pencil Syndrome.May 14, 2013 at 11:41 pm #1986238
"I wouldn't trust anything but a blackwing 602 for the JMT."
Great idea. I think I'll order the gift box set. 12 pencils and a long point sharpener in a wooden box. Only $130 here. Wouldn't want to bring it on the trail, might break one.May 15, 2013 at 12:07 am #1986241

Use a sharpie instead! Multi-use – in addition to journal entry screeds on the decay of western civilization will allow you to leave waterproof, long-lasting messages on multiple surface types for other hikers when you steal their water cache and condiment packets.May 15, 2013 at 4:13 am #1986256
Hiking MaltoBPL Member
A long pencil is clearly the answer. It may weigh more but is multi use.
1) tent stake.
2) a weapon to keep PCT hikers from stealing your food.
3) the stick for use in the PCT method bear hang.
4) a sign graffiti remover.
5) a Mylar balloon popper.
The choice is clearMay 15, 2013 at 5:11 am #1986261

@jenmitolLocale: In my dreams....
Well I know I'm opening myself up for UL harassment here, but I really think the pencil is bad and you should go with a pen. While far more UL, the pencil will, eventually, dull, the nub will wear thin and you will then your tool will be useless. Much like .31 cuben, it seems great on a spreadsheet but it practice it's just TOO light – stupid light, actually.
With a pen, on the other hand, you can send replacement inks into your resupply boxes and don't have to worry about the downing of trees to create your gear.May 15, 2013 at 5:27 am #1986267

Wait..are we still talking about pencils?
"I don't understand you kids and your need to carry pencils. In my day, we'd just set a brontosaurus on fire and used his charred remains to draw with."
*Sigh* The brontosaurus' and cavemen of those days at least never stole your condiment packets, water caches and sweet rolls. Condiment packets your life could depend on! In those days a brontosaur would likely as not walk right up to the fire and throw himself in – just to help out!
Nowadays everyone is a pencil thief, and too lazy to char their own dinosaur, or even build their own fire.May 15, 2013 at 8:01 am #1986309

Not so sure about the pen, they smear when wet, leaving bear attracting residue everywhere.
Thinking about it, he best plan is to bring a pen for day time use on the trail, but a nice pencil for use during stream crossings.
You don't need a dedicated camp pencil, but the weight is small, and it is a nice luxury to write with a clean instrument after a day of using a trail worn pen. Some people don't mind the filth in camp, but it's the little things that separate us from the animals.

A bezoar (BE-zor) is a solid mass of indigestible material that accumulates in your digestive tract, sometimes causing a blockage. Bezoars usually form in the stomach, sometimes in the small intestine or, rarely, the large intestine. They can occur in children and adults.
Bezoars occur most often in people with certain risk factors. You're at higher risk if you:
One type of bezoar (trichobezoar) may occur in people with psychiatric illness or developmental disabilities.
Bezoars are classified according to the material that forms them:
Bezoars can cause lack of appetite, nausea, vomiting, weight loss and a feeling of fullness after eating only a little food. Bezoars can also cause gastric ulcers, intestinal bleeding and obstruction, leading to tissue death (gangrene) in a portion of the digestive tract.
Small bezoars may pass through the digestive tract on their own or after you take medication to help dissolve the mass. Severe cases, especially large trichobezoars, often require surgery.
If you don't have one of the risk factors for bezoars, you're not likely to develop them. If you are at risk, reducing your intake of foods with high amounts of indigestible cellulose may reduce your risk.

The Intel® 3D NAND SSD family of products are uniquely designed for a broad set of applications. Built on breakthrough 3D NAND and delivered by a proven and trusted supplier, Intel® 3D NAND SSDs transform the economics of storage. Learn more about each product series:
Protect your cherished photos or sensitive business data with Intel's robust end-to-end data protection and drive reliability.
Avoid downtime with Intel's relentlessly reliable performance. Intel tested thousands of SSDs over more than a million power cycles to ensure that every drive offers consistent, uninterrupted performance.1
For seamless performance and enhanced capabilities, pair Intel SSDs with Intel CPUs, chipsets, firmware, software, and drivers. You'll get a system that works even better together.
There are no moving parts to solid state drives (SSDs). By contrast, hard disk drives (HDD) use a mechanical arm to move around and read information from a spinning platter. In addition, SSDs use non-volatile memory which simply means that when the memory is turned off it won't "forget" what was stored.
So, if you want storage that leads the pack for performance, stability, and efficiency, a Solid State Drive (SSD) should be your pick.
Imagine being able to access your data faster than ever before. Thanks to the latest breakthroughs in memory technology—Non-Volatile Memory Express* specification (NVMe*) and Peripheral Component Interconnect Express* (PCIe*)— SSDs can access data much faster than using SATA.2 And the soon-to-launch Intel® Optane™ Solid State Drives feature breakthrough 3D XPoint™ technology that enables blazing-fast speeds, lower prices and enhanced endurance. Get ready to take advantage of these new advances by upgrading to PCIe* technology now.

HILO >> A Big Island councilwoman is introducing a bill to ban all genetically-modified crops on the island, despite new limits already being implemented through a bill passed one month ago.
The Hawaii Tribune-Herald reported that Hawaii County Councilwoman Brenda Ford is bringing back a bill that was shot down in a committee vote in September.
Ford says it's worthwhile to bring the bill back to have a discussion of where the county moves on genetically-modified crops. But she says she doesn't expect the bill to pass.
Ford says she will bring the bill back to the council's public safety committee next month, after she gets over an illness.
A bill signed in December by Mayor Billy Kenoi restricts the planting of genetically modified crops to enclosed structures, like greenhouses.

Dinner with Mei-Ling: The Do's and Don'ts of Grilling
Our residential foodie playmate Mei-Ling Lam breaks down the do's and don'ts of firing up the grill.
'Tis the season to fire up your grill! My favorite time of the year is summer mainly because of the incredible weather and the delicious food that comes along with it! You just can't beat the feeling of enjoying a big, thick, juicy steak, a pile of grilled veggies, and an ice cold beer out in the sun. I love going to cookouts with my friends, but one thing I've noticed is that a lot of people only know how to cook a steak one of two ways, rare or well done. So this week I have taken it upon myself to let all of the grilling virgins in on the Do's and Don'ts of grilling.
Grilling Do's
Shake it up with seasoning. Whether you load your grill with garlic, juice your cuts up with fresh lemon or douse your steak with chilies, seasoning is always important. Don't be afraid of using bold flavors like cumin or jerk seasoning, grilled foods can handle it.
Always remember to do's is prepping the grill. Before throwing my steak on the grill I always make sure that the grill is hot, clean, and lubricated! (Not that kind of lubrication guys!) Begin and finish with cleaning your grill with a stiff wire brush. After that, lube the grate by rubbing a cloth dipped in vegetable oil over it with a pair of thongs. If you follow these rules, you will get those sexy grill marks that make you look like a pro!
Safety first, you're literally playing with fire! Don't underestimate the amount of work space you need to grill. Be aware of what is around you and always have a fire extinguisher handy.
If you are a big fan of using charcoal, set up zones on your grill. One for foods that would need direct heat like a burger and the other for sides that would need indirect heat like the buns. Sectioning off your grill like this will allow you to almost always produce a perfect burger!
Have fun with your meat! And I do mean this in the cleanest way possible. My friend, Brianna Jenkins from the reality show Food Network Star, introduced me to personalized branding irons. How fun is that? Let everyone know who is cooking their meat by branding it with your own initials.
Grilling Don'ts
Never use a water bottle to get rid of flare ups! When you throw water on the grill, it creates ash. You can't get rid of the flare ups, but you can prevent charring by moving your food over the indirect heating zone until the flames go down.
Another no-no is cutting into your meat to check if it is done. When you do this, you're letting all those yummy juices drip out of the steak which ends up drying it out. A good rule of thumb when checking is to touch your meat. Prime Cuts gives you a visual for the perfectly cooked meat here: Finger Test
If you're working with charcoal, it's not a good idea to cover the grill when cooking. When fat drips on the charcoal, it creates a bad smoke taste that will seep into the food if you have your BBQ covered up. If your flame does flare up, just move your meat to the indirect heating zone of the grill till the flame goes down. It's also good to remember to keep the cover off so you can keep an eye on your food.
And never ever stress out over grilling! Enjoy an ice cold beer (not too many until you're done cooking), your guests, and of course the food! If there's one thing Brianna and I agree on, it's there isn't anything sexier than a man keeping his cool while he's working the grill. Happy grilling!

The requested case may have been claimed and removed from the Bona Vacantia list or have a new record ID. Please use the search box to search for related records.
In the UK in the event that a person dies intestate (without leaving a last will and testament) it is not always clear who should inherit the deceased's estate and assets. You could be an heir to the unclaimed estate of a relative you've lost touch with or never knew existed!
An heir search can be expensive and time consuming and professional heir hunters do not always take every case and even experts in probate genealogy do not always find the heir so lost heirs can sometimes remain lost and money and property unclaimed.
Heir Hound is a free service that emails you the list of new unclaimed estates every week so you'll know if an estate you could be entitled to is published. If in doubt always seek professional advice. This site has no connection or affiliation with the BBC 'Heir Hunters' Television programme.

Some guys I'm keeping an eye on in the first three rounds that haven't been mentioned much in this thread as options for the Ravens (in the last half-dozen pages or so):
Shareef Floyd, DT, Florida - Love his motor and size/speed/power combo. Could probably play either a 5-tech or a 3-tech at the next level due to his size and athleticism.
Nuk Hopkins, WR, Clemson - Elite hands and body control, good route runner, decent speed. I bet he runs in the 4.6 range at the combine, but it'd be a mistake to pass on him for that. He's still got plenty of physical projection left, as he's spent his college career in a sub-par S&C program.
Levine Toilolo, TE, Stanford - The other Stanford TE. Monstrous physical specimen (6'8", 263) for the position. A natural pass-catcher who plays with an edge and is actually proficient blocking. Would be an excellent foil to Pitta.
David Amerson, DB, NC State - Really instinctive ball hawk in the secondary who's tough in run support. I don't like him at all as a corner, where he's listed by seemingly every service--too stiff in the hips with sub-par speed. But I think he could excel as a safety. Reminds me a bit of Antrel Rolle as a prospect, who moved off the corner and turned into an All-Pro safety.

I have tended bees for these Catholic Nuns for 3 years now, they are very happy because they don't have to buy sugar anymore. Last month I found out that for Christmas I will receive a oil painting of the Blessed Virgin, hand painted by one of the Sisters in their Order. I never expected anything from them but a smile. :-)
Wow that's pretty cool! Sometimes it's not just the painting (although I'm sure she's a good artist), but the story attached to it.

It's been
another year, so time for another NHL game. In NHL 2000, you get
the usual game modes: Exhibition, Season, Playoff, Tournament, and Shootout.
For most gamers, the most interesting mode is Season mode. After each season,
players will move around via free agency, aging players will retire, and you
can even draft rookies. There are even roster updates you can get from the GR
patches section. Props to EA for including this feature.
With the EA Sports online gaming system, it makes it easy for players to find
opponents over the Internet. While it's not as cool as sitting beside your buddy
on the couch while you crush his team into the ice, you were really only able
to do that with the console versions anyway (Who has two controllers for their
PC?). Internet multiplayer definitely helps any computer sports game.
The sound and graphics are just spectacular. EA went all out and licensed
music like Garbage's "Push it", Uberzone's "Dokta Dokta", and Gearwhore's "Accelerator."
You can feel every body check and shot, and the arena noise puts you right there
in the game. The graphics are incredible, too. Every NHL player looks almost
exactly like his real-life counterpart, and the player and goalie animations
are awesome.
Another cool addition is the 'face in the game' feature. Most sports sims
have the 'create a player' option that lets you choose a generic face for your
player. This is still included, of course. But NHL 2000 takes things
a step further by letting you literally put your face in the game! All you need
is a picture of your mug (not too hard if you have a scanner), and you can play
with your favorite hockey stars! Darn, if only I had a scanner, I'd open up
a can of whup-ass on that girlie-man Jagr.
Now on to the
gameplay. Basically, the core gameplay hasn't changed since NHL 94, though
each year it undergoes minor tweaks. EA said there were more ways to score in
NHL 2000 than in previous versions, and they weren't kidding. In the
first game after installation (I set it at the hardest difficulty setting),
I notched 13 goals . . . and I was playing 10 minute periods! Maybe (probably)
I'm just gifted, but I expected to lose a few games before I even came close
to winning. One problem is the defenders on the opposing team allowing you to
skate right by them, avoiding you as if you had the black plague. Not the best
AI in the world.
Besides the amount of scoring, another unrealistic part of NHL 2000 is the unreasonably high number of shots the computer takes. In each game, the computer constantly outshoots you, and it's usually by about a 2 to 1 ratio. The computer would take shots, and my goalie would always make the save. I'd take the pass from my goalie and race down the ice, go right past the defenders, and score. It's unrealistic and may disappoint gamers who like the simulation aspect of the game, but for arcade-minded players, it's fun.
Besides the gameplay flaws, NHL 2000 is an extremely fun game to play.
The non-stop action and punishing body checks, which, I might add, are just
as fun as scoring goals, make this game hard to stop playing. This game almost
makes me forget about NHL '94 . . . almost. If you have last year's version,
or even the one two years ago, the only thing that's really changed is the players.
It's still a solid hockey game, and the best one on the market.

This is why Blizzard sense of scale and proportion pisses me off to no end, as does their unwillingness ro fully explore potential ramifications of their storylines.
->What about ongoing Orc migration from Outland? Garrosh himself ventured to Azeroth past TBC, why others of his kind have been swept under the carpet?
->What about Orc rebels joining the insurection forces? With the memories of first Horde -as hazy as they may be- still lingering as the witnesses are still alive, there HAS to be some notion among orcs that Garrosh's path would doom them all.
->What about other settlements? What is their relation to this power shift?
Still, it is nowhere near as bad as how goblin survivors of Gallywix's prison ship being somehow numerous enough to not only populate a sizeable metropolis along with a district in ORG, but also deal with particularly heavy casualties and loss of life even in the early questing zones. Either Gallywix's ship had the holding capacity of a space colonization vessel, or population of Kezan has been shrunk to fit in as accessories in city boxes or we have a bad case of BS proportions and scale.

Residents recover stolen property after string thefts and auto burglaries
BRISTOL, Tenn. - Over the past three weeks, many people who live in the Bristol area reported items from their yards, garages, and work trucks were missing.
Police tell News 5 the value of all of the property is more than $50,000.
"I'm feeling pretty good," said Mark Wilson. It was a sobering day for Wilson as he and his wife spent a couple of hours looking through the sea of yard equipment and power tools at the Bristol Police Department in hopes of finding the items that were stolen from his work truck November 3 in the Redstone area of Bristol.
But this time can't be compared to the time spent searching for them over the past three weeks. "The victim just by chance found out where [the suspects] live and kept driving by. And yesterday when he drove by the garage door was open, and he says a lot of tools and other items in there. He was able to describe some of it. We were able to put it together with some of the reports of the properties we had taken. We ran a search warrant and we recovered a large amount of stolen property," said Captain Charles Thomas of the Bristol, Tennessee Police Department.
Tuesday afternoon people made their way to the garage hoping to find the property there and intact.
The police arrested Adam Vaughn and Roxanne Mershon Brown, and they are being held in connection with this string of auto burglaries and thefts that have affected more than 18 households and vehicles in the Redstone and Forest Hills area of Bristol.
Wilson tells us he recovered about 75 percent of his property. "The thing that I am really pleased with is knowing where he's at, that he's not taking stuff from anybody else. And that I was able to help the people in the neighborhood at getting their stuff back," said Wilson.
Wilson says his stolen property was valued at more than $8,000.
If you believe that your property was stolen as part of this string, Bristol, Tennessee police urge you to file a report at the jurisdiction in which the theft or burglary occurred.
The police also tell News 5 they believe the suspects may have hit other areas in the Tri-Cities.

Watch AILA's Featured Issues page for more informationRead Today
AILA Doc. No. 13072545 | Dated October 26, 2016
When the Senate successfully passed S.744 on June 27th, all eyes turned to the House of Representatives. Unlike the Senate, in the House the majority party (currently the Republicans) hold almost complete control over the agenda, determining what bills get votes and when. So even though advocates and pundits alike believe that a majority exists in the House to pass comprehensive reform with a road to citizenship (with a coalition of Democrats and Republican votes), so far, the Republican majority in the House has resisted taking any major action. That's why special attention is focused on Republican leadership: Speaker John Boehner (R-OH), Majority Leader Eric Cantor (R-VA), Majority Whip Kevin McCarthy (R-CA), Conference Chair Cathy McMorris Rodgers (R-WA), Homeland Security Committee Chairman Michael McCaul (R-TX), and Judiciary Committee Chairman Bob Goodlatte (R-VA).
So what has happened in the House so far? In June, House Republicans voted four piecemeal bills out of the Judiciary Committee, all of which AILA opposed (see below for more details). Prior to that, the Homeland Security Committee managed to unanimously pass a bipartisan border security bill out of committee. On October 2nd, Democrats announced they were introducing H.R. 15, a comprehensive immigration reform bill, that would encompass the successful Senate bill without the border-surge package and including the House border security bill. (AILA Doc. No. 13100402.)All that being said, movement in the House of Representatives is slow. Speaker Boehner has given little indication of what his next steps will be to pass reform in the House, and with budgetary battles looming large, immigration reform seems to have moved to the bottom of the agenda. However, advocates point to the increasing number of Republican House members in support of reform (with a road to legalization and citizenship) and the growing cries of the American public, as proof evident that reform is very much alive in the 113th Congress.
Five piecemeal bills in the House have passed out of committee:

The Destination
Tennessee Williams once said that there are only three cities in the United States: New York, San Francisco, and New Orleans. What do they have in common? For one, a unique cultural richness, which can be seen in the cities' historic architecture, their obsession with food, and their dedication to the arts. It's a trio that inspires romance, a sense of timelessness and ambience that lends these places an air of inimitable authenticity. And so it is in New Orleans, a place that isn't so much stuck in the past as it is a tribute to its roots—good food, good drink, and good times among them. Laissez les bon temps rouler, indeed.
The Digs
Take one look at the Art Deco architecture of the Wyndham Garden Baronne Plaza New Orleans, and you'll know you made the right choice.

Geographic Information
REGION: Coastal Plain
RIVER BASIN: Lumber
NEIGHBORING COUNTIES: Bladen, Columbus, Cumberland, Hoke, Scotland
Robeson County, located in the Coastal Plain region of North Carolina, was formed in 1787 from Bladen County and was named for Revolutionary War colonel Thomas Robeson. The Saura (Cheraw) and Lumbee were the area's earliest inhabitants, followed by Scottish, English, Welsh, and French settlers. Lumberton, the county seat, was incorporated in 1788 and named after the Lumber River. Other communities in the county include Pembroke, Rowland, Maxton, Red Springs, Parkton, Lumber Bridge, Allenton, Alma, and Shannon. Notable physical features of the county, in addition to the Lumber River, include Panther and Horse Pen Branches, Gum Swamp Canal, and Currie and Bear Bays.
Much of Robeson County's history has involved the trials and accomplishments of the Lumbee Indians, North Carolina's largest tribe, who populate the region. One of their most famous tribal members, Henry Berry Lowry, led a band of outlaws in the state during and after the Civil War, at times using violence to bring attention to the plight of the Lumbee. His story is the subject of the long-running outdoor drama Strike at the Wind!, performed in Pembroke during the summer months. Lowry's restored cabin is on display at an adjacent recreational area.
Robeson County has a number of historic sites and landmarks, including the Luther Henry Caldwell House, built around 1903; the Carolina Theatre, built in 1927; and the Archie Buie House, built in 1902. Cultural institutions include Robeson Little Theatre, the North Carolina Indian Cultural Center, the Border Belt Farmer's Museum, and the Robeson County Showcase Museum. Robeson County is also home to the University of North Carolina at Pembroke, which was established in 1887 as the Croatan Normal School and became a campus of the consolidated University of North Carolina in 1972. The county hosts festivals such as St. Paul's Annual Festival, Fairmont Farmers Festival, the Native American Wild Game Festival, and the Lumbee Spring Pow Wow.
Agricultural commodities raised in Robeson County include tobacco, cotton, soybeans, vegetables, poultry, hogs, and beef cattle, and manufactures include transformers, water pipes and valves, speakers, textiles, wood products, and manufactured homes. The estimated population of Robeson County in 2004 was 126,500.

Ice Tee Open raises $21,000 for Camp Knutson
The 11th annual Ice Tee Open at Moonlite Bay in Crosslake raised $21,000 to support Camp Knutson.
Golfers came by land and frozen lake to participate in golf on the ice, on a course artistically designed by Lucian Greeninger of Golden Eagle Golf Club in Fifty Lakes. A record high 207 golfers participated.
In the tournament, Dan Erickson won the hole-in-one contest, the prize for which was half of $640; the other half was donated to Camp Knutson. Brady Peterson won a $50 Moonlite Bay gift certificate for the lowest individual score with 56.
This year 23 individuals or groups participated in the $500 Club; these people gave $500 to the mission of Lutheran Social Services Camp Knutson, which provides camping services to children with special needs.
Campers include children with severe skin disorders, autism, Down syndrome and heart disease, and families affected by HIV and AIDS.
The annual Ice Tee Open is sponsored by Moonlite Bay and Golden Eagle Golf Club.
