Windy Extravaganza draws approx. 10,500 attendants
Wind gusts exceeding 40 miles per hour and below-zero wind chills did not deter approximately 10,500 people from attending the Brainerd Jaycees $150,000 Ice Fishing Extravaganza on Saturday, Jan. 19.
The Jaycees report having more than $200,000 in prizes for the event. Proceeds from the event go to the Confidence Learning Center and other local charities.
According to the Extravaganza website, the contest raised $100,198 from the 2012 competition.
The contest kicked off with the national anthem and a canon fire at noon, marking the start of fishing. The line to the weigh-in tent grew steadily as the first fish were reeled in. The Jaycees reported a total of 551 fish registered at the weigh-in tent before the competition ended at 3 p.m.
This year the winner of the competition was Bror Linnerooth from Brainerd. He won with a 4.41-pound northern pike, which he caught with a hook and a fathead in 35 feet of water. Linnerooth won a Ford or GMC truck from Mills Auto Group.
Other local winners in the top 50 slots include Terri Wolf of Pequot Lakes, who was 23rd with a 1.3-pound walleye; Steven Hines, Nisswa, who was 26th with a 1.22-pound tullibee; Luther Wallin, Nisswa, 29th with a 1.15-pound walleye; Daniel Westholter, Lake Shore, 36th with a 1.06-pound walleye; Bruce Hines of Nisswa, 38th with a 1.06-pound tullibee; and Brandt Wolf, Pequot Lakes, 46th with a 0.95-pound walleye.

Boy, oh boy, these Republicans are playing with fire. The emerging question of this year, with 10 open investigations into GOP Leadership, is whether those lower down will distance themselves from the bosses they've served so loyally, or stick with them and absord the stench of their corruption.

Reality Check: Disagreements Over Ho-Chunk Casino Payments Continue
State Supreme Court Struck Down Previous Deal
MADISON, Wis. - According to the latest radio ad from the Ho-Chunk Nation, the ongoing dispute over casino payments boils down to the case of the steak versus the hamburger.
VIDEO: Watch The Report
The Ho-Chunk ad compares its gaming compact to a steak and then to a hamburger, WISC-TV reported.
The steak refers to the Ho-Chunk's 2003 agreement struck with Gov. Jim Doyle, which allowed the casino to offer more games like craps and roulette. In exchange, the Ho-Chunk agreed to pay more money to the state, about $30 million annually. As part of the deal, this contract would never expire.
In 2004, however, the state Supreme Court said that the agreement was unconstitutional. This is where the hamburger comes in.
"When the courts struck down key provisions of the Ho-Chuck Nation's gaming compact, they took a steak and turned it into a hamburger," the radio ad said. "And now, some state officials still insist the Ho-Chunk owe them for the price of the steak ? Common sense, the law and the compact all say otherwise."
Here's where the analogy might need some clarification.
The Supreme Court decision threw out the deal mainly because it would never expire. But, the Ho-Chunk decided on its own to operate under the old deal.
It essentially picked the hamburger while all the other tribes kept the steak, WISC-TV reported.
A provision in the 2003 agreement said that the Ho-Chunk Nation could, but doesn't have to pay more until a new deal is reached, and so far, that hasn't happened.
According to the old agreement, the Ho-Chunk paid the state about $8 million a year, but since the decision in 2004, no money has been paid.
The ad doesn't mention that the Ho-Chunk is the only holdout, and that all the other tribes made the larger payments because they kept the games.
In the case of the Ho-Chunk, it's roughly $20 to $30 million a year.
The Ho-Chunk Nation and state officials have agreed to arbitration in this case. A hearing is scheduled for May and a decision is expected by July, WISC-TV reported.
In the meantime, both sides continue to talk and could reach a deal on their own.
Last fall, the Potawatomi Nation agreed to a 25-year compact with expanded games and they paid what was expected under the 2003 compacts.

Video: Newt gives a reluctant "yes" to bailout
posted at 3:32 pm on September 28, 2008 by Ed Morrissey
Newt Gingrich appeared this morning on ABC's This Week with George Stephanopolous, and gave a very reluctant endorsement of the bailout package as described in reports this morning:
STEPHANOPOULOS: "Speaker Gingrich, there's also, I think, a recognition, at least in some of the polls I've seen, that something has to be done."
SPEAKER NEWT GINGRICH: "Sure, look, something has to be done. … I suspect were I still in Congress, in the end George [Will] is right, and I probably would end up voting reluctantly yes, because I think when you're given no choice …"
I'll try to get more of Gingrich's remarks. He makes a good point in the comments here that we're buying years of bureaucracy for a short-term problem, but the problem will be a lot longer than just two weeks if government doesn't act to support the prices on the mortgage-backed securities (MBS) that it insisted Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac issue on boatloads of bad loans. Without action, the collapse would probably take place in two weeks, leaving us years to pick up the pieces — and that would cost more than what's being proposed.
Will Gingrich's reluctant, watered-down endorsement make conservatives more willing to accept this solution?

The victim says she may have been drugged. Is there any evidence to support this?
It's a good bet that if you get sh_t faced enough at a party and you pass out, some idiot may take advantage of you.
Act like a drunken whore and get treated as such. Simple.
You clearly don't know what the definition of rape is.
You are wrong on all accounts.
Rape is not just penis in vagina penetration.
It doesn't matter how drunk someone is, if they aren't able to consent it's rape. A lack of no does not mean yes.
No one deserves to be raped, not even "whores". There's no such thing as 'asking for it' in relation to rape.

Salar de Uyni - Bolivia
Trip Start Jan 09, 2005
16Trip End Sep 01, 2005
this is probably going to be my sign-off entry and it's going to be a photo one! So firstly thanks to everyone that has written to me. Anyway, the photos, I have just returned from the most amazing trip, the journey started in Northern chile and finished 5 days later in Salar de Uyni, Bolivia, taking us through some of the most hostile and extraordinary landscapes of the Americas. The contrast of the journey is dramatic traveling from mere dust and rumble into magnificent valley's where lakes change colors and the most stunning Andean flamengoes wade elegantly through the water. For hous you can be skimming through the desert when suddenly you end a mountain plateau where Llama's graze oblivious to the smoking volcanoies taht stand sentry over them.
You have amazing thermal pools which sprout stunning coloured algae while geysers bubble angerily throwing up huge bubbles of boiling mud
However like many beautiful things in this world it commands renumeration from you extracting it in extreme physical exertion. You race from 2500m (8200ft) to 5100m (16790ft) in less than 5 hours, you go from 25�c at midday to -20�c at midnight while all the time traversing this demanding landscape in a 4x4 jeep occupied by 9 people!!!!
Anyway I hope you enjoy these, I'll speak to most of you soon enough, well in the mean time keep well, i am off to relax in a wee beach for a while ... now what's it called again .... ah that's right copacabana lol!

And if you have a guy who is a great pass rusher generally you don't move him to a position where he doesn't rush the passer much.
For instance. Denver which runs a 4-3 drafted Von Miller. Who played a similar position to Jones, but did drop into coverage more often. Denver essentially just plays Miller at DE now. Hand up or hand down. He rushes the passer on every pass play except for the occasional zone drop (not any different than Osi or JPp dropping into coverage).
I don't dislike Jones at all. But saying he's a linebacker is simply untrue. He would have to show the ability to play there. Which he has not done in college. He is a pass rusher. That's where he plays, that's where he excels.

And of course size is always important. Generally a guy who is under 260 pounds is not going to be great against the run from the DE spot.

[Article]-November 2011 Free Giveaway Winner - Black Hat Events
[Article]-November 2011 Free Giveaway Winner - Black Hat Events
Black Hat Events was the sponsor last month of EH-Net's Free Monthly Giveaway with a very flexible offering of a free pass for full conference admission to the Black Hat event of your choice between now and the end of 2013. As we mentioned, this one was going to be a little different as winning depended on particpation in the poll and not our normal participation on EH-Net. With that, we used the trusty services of random.org to help pick EH-Net member elwellj as our winner. Congrats!
For those unfamiliar, "The Black Hat Briefings are a series of highly technical information security conferences that bring together thought leaders from all facets of the infosec world – from the corporate and government sectors to academic and even underground researchers. The environment is strictly vendor-neutral and focused on the sharing of practical insights and timely, actionable knowledge. Black Hat remains the best and biggest event of its kind, unique in its ability to define tomorrow's information security landscape." It's the one trip I do everything I can to make every year, the week of Black Hat and DEFCON in Vegas. You should, too.
Keep up the good work,


text: I very recently captured a swarm and relocated them into a new hive box. I transferred much of the brood and honey comb to the new box (after they had been in the nuc for 3 days (screened in). While transferring the frames with comb, I noticed 2 queen bee cells but didn't see the queen in the swarm. If she never made the transfer, is it possible one of the new queens will emerge and be queen to the hive or do I need to order a new queen? Any advice is appreciated. Thanks.

Drug shortages are two words that no one wants to hear—not patients, not health care professionals, and not me.
FDA has been working hard to prevent and mitigate drug shortages. In 2011, the number of medications in short supply hit 251. Addressing drug shortages must be a top priority for us at FDA because these are medications that people need to stay healthy, to treat their illnesses, and even, in some cases, to stay alive.
This year, we've taken significant steps to expand our efforts and to engage in new ways with industry. Between Jan. 1 and Sept. 30, 2012, FDA worked with drug manufacturers to help avert the shortage of 145 drugs. Many critical medicines used to treat cancer and conditions such as attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) are no longer in short supply.
However, drug shortages are still a serious problem, one that may be temporarily impacted by Ameridose LLC's voluntary recall of all of its unexpired products. Ameridose, located in Westborough, Mass., is managed by some of the same people as the New England Compounding Center—which produced the drug that is implicated in the deadly, multi-state outbreak of fungal meningitis. An inspection of Ameridose was initiated as part of FDA's ongoing investigation of the outbreak.
FDA recommended that Ameridose recall its sterile drugs because we could not be assured of the sterility of those products. However, this recall may affect supplies of certain life-saving drugs for some health care systems. FDA has identified a number of Ameridose products—including drugs used during surgery and to treat medical conditions that include congestive heart failure—that were on the current drug shortages list before the recall.
We also know that the supply of other drugs may be affected by the Ameridose recall. That's why FDA is taking proactive steps to minimize the impact this recall may have on current drug shortages, and to prevent other shortages from occurring.
For recalled medications on the current drug shortages list, FDA is taking the same actions it has used successfully to mitigate other shortages.
- FDA is working with manufacturers of these drugs, requesting that they ramp up production if they are willing and able to do so.
- For any manufacturers of these drugs that may be experiencing manufacturing or quality problems, FDA is offering assistance to enable them to produce shortage drug products that are safe and high quality.
- As with shortages of any critical products, FDA will expedite the reviews of any pending applications that could help with addressing the shortages.
- FDA is identifying any additional manufacturers willing to initiate or increase production.
- If manufacturers of critical drugs are not able to meet U.S. patient needs, FDA will explore overseas companies that are willing and able to import foreign drugs to address the shortage. In these instances, FDA evaluates the imported drug to ensure that it is of adequate quality and that the drug does not pose undue risks for U.S. patients.
Since the beginning of the year, the number of advance notifications to FDA of potential shortages has greatly increased. If we know that a problem is on the horizon, we're able to proactively work with industry, organizations, patients and stakeholders to address it. We have doubled the number of staff members who work in drug shortage prevention and response.
We at FDA are committed to doing everything we can, using all available tools, to prevent or mitigate drug shortages and help keep critically needed products on the market.
Margaret A. Hamburg, M.D., is Commissioner of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.

I'd take a Colt, or Para Ord. over a Springfield G.I. I believe the G.I. is manufactured in Brazil, or Philippines and it is bare bones as fare as features (WWII sights? How did our boys kill Germans with these!) compared to the other two. And the ones I have seen in gunstores seem a little cheaply built.
I have fired a Colt Mustang, which looks similar to the defender in size, and it seemed to be well built, though it did stovepip several times. I have never shot a Para, but they seem well built and I know people who sware by them.
If it was me, I'd go to Gun Broker, Davidsons, etc, to get an idea of current prices on the Colt and Para, and then head to the gun show and handle the two to see which one is a better fit for you, and look around for any deals. They are both quality brands and, as with any 1911, you will probably end up modifying it anyways, so keep your options open and look for good deals.
Just my 2 cents.
EDIT: I do kind of wonder why you want a compact, and not a full-sized, 1911 if you don't plan on carrying it concealed? Certainly an extra 2 inches barrel length wouldn't impede the weapon's ability to be hiden in a nightstand or under a car seat? I say this because, in my experience, compact 1911's tend to have more FTF's then full sized 1911's. I'm sure other's experiences are different.

text: So the time has come to rebuild my transmission. I have an 03 Suburban that is all stock with the 5.3. In the future I will be doing some performance upgrades, but no real serious power. I also tow as well, usually just 2 or 3 four wheelers, but once in a while I do tow a heavy trailer and would like the ability to tow my Wrangler if need be, so I don't want to crazy on the torque converter and hurt my towing. Future upgrade plans are to maybe go with a ls6 cam and possibly a power programmer as well, but a least one or the other. Also most likely around 285/75/15 tires with a mild lift and depending on the driving with the larger tires, maybe 4.10 gears. I have been looking at Circle D converters and the ones offered by Performa Built. Now I know if i hold the brake and throttle, that it gives me a stall of about 2000, but I also understand that can change with engine power and other variables. Also, I am reading that the converter companies use a standard base line to figure the stall speed, and that actual stall will vary with power and weight of the truck. I have been researching for a couple of weeks now, but everybody is talking about high stall speeds and I can't find any info on what would be a good stall to go with for my situation. I have read stories of guys that got a 3600 stall and it killed their towing and driving because it was too much for their needs. So advice on what stall speed and any personal info on the different converters will be much appreciated. Thank you.


text: This applies to everything built on the full-size GMT800 truck platform -- Silverado, Sierra, Suburban, Yukon, Escalade, Tahoe. The seat system on these trucks is complex and is not covered in depth in the Hayes book or anywhere else on teh internets so here is the GM Truck Club exxclusive writeup. I will add some photos another day. I'll explain basic troubleshooting steps, common problems, and repair methods with the heated seats, which fail frequently. Much of the same info applies to problems with the power seat adjuster. Before you complain tl;dr well these things are complicated and so I'm going to have to use a lot of words to explain it so hold on and pay attention, you want simple either get a 1997 or complain to The General. == System design == There's microcontroller module under the driver's seat that runs the whole show. The General calls this the "memory seat module." It connects to a wiring harness in the rails under the seat using four large multi-pin connectors. This wiring harness, in turn, has connections to each of three seat motors, the chassis, the seat bottom, and the seat back. There's just one "memory seat module" controlling both seats, and also controlling the adjustable brake and accelerator pedals. The control switches for the heated seats in each door don't have a physical circuit to the "memory seat module" but rather communicate using the chassis serial bus. The reason we didn't really see heated seats very often before the late 1990s is that they tend to fail in ways that cause them to overheat and start the seat foam on fire. To deal with this the microcontroller in the "memory seat module" provides close supervision of the whole system, with a temperature sensor in each seat, and sensing of the current draw for each of the four elements. If the microcontroller detects anything dodgy going on it shuts down the whole heated seat subsystem until the next time the ignition is switched off and on. There are nine sensors in this system. Each seat has three position sensors and one temperature sensor, and then there's a sensor for the position of the accelerator/brake pedals. These sensors all share a 5 volt supply from the "memory seat module." As a result, if any of them short to ground, the "memory seat module" can't sense temperature or seat position and pretty much shuts down everything. == Common failures == The flexible heater pads fail most often. The temperature sensor is incorporated into the seat back heating pad, and the whole thing with connectors is serviced as an assembly. The seat bottom heating pad doesn't have a sensor. Dorman makes both these so you can get them from NAPA, Carquest, Rock Auto, etc., for around $100 each. They're a fast moving part and my local NAPA had them in stock. Next most common is a wiring short to ground, most commonly in the wire bundle that goes up to the seat back assembly next to the seat belt latch. That's an easy fix with some tape and a little piece of wire loom. Otherwise well yes you can have a wiring short pretty much anywhere under either seat because the seats move and the wires flex, and if they're not dressed quite right they will rub. Next up we have the power wiring to the drivers side seat. Well when you hit the memory button there's the possibility of all 7 motors running at once and so that's quite a current draw, more than for the heated seats, and it's common for the connector between teh chassis wiring and the seat frame to overheat. Now this connector has maybe 24 circuits going through it but you can just cut the power and ground wire and crimp on some bullet or spade connectors on those and call it good. Finally though rare the position sensor for the accelerator/brake pedal assembly can short out and since it shares the same +5 volt power supply with everything else the whole thing quits working. == Troubleshooting == If you are a tech at a stealership then The General gives you access to DTCs in the "memory seat module" that are supposed to help. The rest of us have to go lo-tech. If nothing on either seat works at all, no movement, no heat, nothing -- either intermittently or all the time -- undo the grey connector near the floor under the driver's seat. On anything with a second row of seats you can get at it fairly easily from the second row, on a regular cab pickup you'll have a time of it. Look at the connector pins for signs of overheating on the orange and black wires, if so, cut those two wires and crimp on a suitable bullet or spade connector. They are hot with the key off so either be careful or disconnect the battery ground strap. For heated seat problems the first thing to do is determine if one side or both sides are affected. The engine has to be running for the heated seats to work so start things up and check one side. See if you can turn on the seat heat, and then see whether it will stay on for at least a minute or so. Then turn the key all the way off to reset the "memory seat module," want a few seconds, fire it back up, and check the other side. Once the "memory seat module" has identified a fault in either seat it shuts them both down so you have to do this or you'll fool yourself into thinking they're both broken. If one side works OK but the other side doesn't do anything at all, the lights don't flash even a little, or one button works when you mash it but the other one doesn't, then the switch module in the door panel is probably toast. If one side works OK but on the other side the lights come on and then shut off either right away or after a few seconds or half a minute or whatever then chances are that you just need to replace the heating pad on the bad side. You can isolate whether it's the back or the bottom pad by shutting off the engine again, starting it up, and mashing the "back heat only" button on the bad side. If that works OK and stays on for a minute or more well then the problem is with the bottom pad, on the other hand if it shuts off on "back heat only" then it's the back pad that you have to replace. If both sides are bad try moving the seats using the power seat controls. If the seats just move in fits and starts well then you have shorted sensor wiring somewhere. You can crawl under the dash and disconnect the connector to the brake/accelerator pedal position sensor, which is up above the brake pedal. If you hold the brake pedal down and look up there you can see it moving on the pedal assembly. Just pop the connector out. Now that you've done that you can fire up the engine and see if that fixed anything, if it did well you need a new pedal position sensor from your local stealership. Otherwise there's a short somewhere else and you're going to have to take the seat bottoms out and look for wires rubbed off. The wire going to the seat back, near the seatbelt latch, is a known problem area, but the short could be anywhere. You remove the seat bottoms by undoing the two nuts underneath at the front of the seat, and the disconnecting *all* the connectors. It took me a half hour to figure out how to pop them all loose because they're all different. I'm not going to try to describe it so just take a deep breath, get your flashlight and a little screwdriver, and start fussing. I would suggest disconnecting the battery ground strap before you start so one of the seat motors doesn't fire up at the wrong time and squish your fingerz. The power seat module itself can fail but that's rare and expensive to fix. The stealership has to flash it for your specific situation so there's no guarantee that a boneyard one will work. There were some flash updates that came out ages ago to fix a problem with the heated seats shutting down for no good reason -- apparently the original software was a little too paranoid -- but most vehicles will already have those applied. Well if you try all that and still can't get the seats to work you probably should just trade in your truck because chances are at that point even if you take it to the stealership they'll charge you $500 for half a day of diagnostics and won't be able to figure it out either.

Here's a disturbing statistic: One out of every five Americans over the age of 65 has been victimized by a financial scheme, according to the Investor Protection Trust, a nonprofit organization devoted to investor education. If your parents are in this age group, should you be concerned? And can you help them avoid being "scammed" so that they maintain control over their finances?
The answer to the first question is "yes" -- you should be concerned. Of course, as the numbers above show, most aging Americans are not being swindled, which suggests they can take care of themselves quite well. Still, it's no secret that many fraud schemes target seniors because of their concentrated wealth and in many cases, trusting nature. And as much as you'd like to think otherwise, your parents could be susceptible to rip-off artists.
Fortunately, in regard to the second question above, you can indeed take steps to help prevent your parents from being fleeced. Here are a few suggestions:
Observe their behavior. If you live close to your parents, listen closely to any new friends, investment deals or sweepstakes they mention during your normal interactions.. If you're in a different city, try to stay abreast of your parents' behavior by communicating with them frequently and by checking in with other family members or friends who have occasion to see your parents.
Urge them to watch out for suspicious e-mails. You've probably seen them -- the e-mails offering to "reward" you with huge amounts of money if you will only contact such-and-such from a distant country and then put up a "small" sum to initiate some ill-defined transaction. You probably "spam" these without a moment's thought -- and you should urge your parents to do the same. Remind them that any offer that sounds "too good to be true" is, without question, neither "good" nor "true."
Encourage them to further their financial education. Law enforcement agencies, health care professionals and reputable financial services providers all offer personal financial management programs designed specifically for seniors. Look for these types of programs in your area, encourage your parents to attend -- and even consider going with them.
Become familiar with their financial situation. Having a serious discussion with your parents about their finances may not be easy -- but it's important. The more you know about their investments, retirement accounts and estate plans, the better prepared you'll be to respond helpfully if they mention an action they're considering taking that, to you, just doesn't sound appropriate.
Suggest professional help. If your parents are already working with a qualified financial professional, they're probably less likely to be victimized by fraud than if they were managing their finances on their own. And it's a good idea for you to know their financial advisor, and for him or her to know you, as you may well be involved in your parents' legacy planning. But if your parents don't already have a financial advisor, you may want to recommend one to them, particularly if it's someone you already know and trust.
It's entirely possible that your parents won't need any assistance in avoiding financial scams. But, just in case, be prepared to act on the above suggestions. Your intervention could help preserve your parent's financial independence.

Walther P99 design - At the moment, I have the clone - a SW99, and a compact model. I had an "accident" w/ my fullsize P99, so I am in search of another.
Anyway, I have grown to love the mag release design (it is near the trigger guard). When I first rented the gun, I didn't like it initially. I tried it a couple more times, and fell in love w/ it. It is the most accurate gun I have ever shot - more so than even +$1000 1911 designs.
The grip is great, and the trigger pull is awesome too.
Way underrated gun. If Walther did a better job advertising in America, it would be more popular.

The Merchant of Venice
From Wikiquote
The Merchant of Venice is one of William Shakespeare's best-known plays. It was written between 1596 and 1598.
Act I[edit]
- In sooth, I know not why I am so sad.
It wearies me, you say it wearies you.
- Antonio, scene i
- My ventures are not in one bottom trusted,
Nor to one place.
- Antonio, scene i
- Now, by two-headed Janus,
Nature hath fram'd strange fellows in her time.
- Salarino, scene i
- Though Nestor swear the jest be laughable.
- Salarino, scene i
- You have too much respect upon the world:
They lose it that do buy it with much care.
- Gratiano, scene i
- Antonio: I hold the world but as the world, Gratiano;
A stage, where every man must play a part,
And mine a sad one. Gratiano Let me play the fool.
- scene i
- Why should a man whose blood is warm within,
Sit like his grandsire cut in alabaster?
- Gratiano, scene i
- There are a sort of men, whose visages
Do cream and mantle like a standing pond;
And do a willful stillness entertain,
With purpose to be dress'd in an opinion
Of wisdom, gravity, profound conceit;
As who should say, I am Sir Oracle,
And when I ope my lips, let no dog bark!"
- Gratiano, scene i
- I do know of these,
That therefore only are reputed wise,
For saying nothing.
- Gratiano, scene i
- Fish not with this melancholy bait,
For this fool-gudgeon, this opinion.
- Gratiano, scene i
- Gratiano speaks an infinite deal of nothing, more than any man in all Venice. His reasons are as two grains of wheat hid in two bushels of chaff: you shall seek all day ere you find them; and when you have them, they are not worth the search.
- Bassanio, scene i
- In my school-days, when I had lost one shaft,
I shot his fellow of the self-same flight
The self-same way, with more advised watch,
To find the other forth; and by adventuring both,
I oft found both.
- Bassanio, scene i
- In Belmont is a lady richly left;
And she is fair, and fairer than that word,
Of wondrous virtues. Sometimes from her eyes
I did receive fair speechless messages.
- Bassanio, scene i
- Her sunny locks
Hang on her temples like a golden fleece.
- Bassanio, scene i
- They are as sick that surfeit with too much, as they that starve with nothing. It is no mean happiness, therefore, to be seated in the mean; superfluity comes sooner by white hairs, but competency lives longer.
- Nerissa, scene ii
- If to do were as easy as to know what were good to do, chapels had been churches, and poor men's cottages princes' palaces.
- Portia, scene ii
- The brain may devise laws for the blood; but a hot temper leaps o'er a cold decree.
- Portia, scene ii
- He doth nothing but talk of his horse.
- Portia, scene ii
- God made him, and therefore let him pass for a man.
- Portia, scene ii
- When he is best, he is a little worse than a man; and when he is worst, he is little better than a beast.
- Portia, scene ii
- I dote on his very absence.
- Portia, scene ii
- My meaning in saying he is a good man, is, to have you understand me that he is sufficient.
- Shylock, scene iii
- Ships are but boards, sailors but men: there be land-rats and water-rats, water-thieves and land-thieves.
- Shylock, scene iii
- I will buy with you, sell with you, talk with you, walk with you, and so following; but I will not eat with you, drink with you, nor pray with you.
- Shylock, scene iii
- If I can catch him once upon the hip,
I will feed fat the ancient grudge I bear him.
He hates our sacred nation; and he rails,
Even there where merchants most do congregate,
On me, my bargains, and my well-won thrift,
Which he calls interest.
- Shylock, scene iii
- The devil can cite scripture for his purpose.
An evil soul producing holy witness,
Is like a villain with a smiling cheek;
A goodly apple rotten at the heart:
O, what a goodly outside falsehood hath!
- Antonio, scene iii
- Signior Antonio, many a time and oft
In the Rialto you have rated me
About my moneys, and my usances:
Still have I borne it with a patient shrug,
For sufferance is the badge of all our tribe.
You call me misbeliever, cut-throat dog,
And spit upon my Jewish gaberdine,
And all for use of that which is mine own.
Well then, it now appears you need my help:
Go to then: you come to me, and you say,
Shylock, we would have monies; You say so;
You, that did void your rheum upon my beard,
And foot me, as you would spurn a stranger cur
Over your threshold; monies is your suit.
What should I say to you? Should I not say,
Hath a dog money? is it possible
A cur can lend three thousand ducats? or
Shall I bend low, and in a bondman's key,
With bated breath and whispering humbleness,
Say this, —
Fair sir, you spet on me Wednesday last;
You spurn'd me such a day; another time
You call'd me — dog; and for these courtesies
I'll lend you thus much monies?
- Shylock, scene iii
- For when did friendship take
A breed for barren metal of his friend?
- Antonio, scene iii
- O father Abram! what these Christians are,
Whose own hard dealings teaches them suspect
The thoughts of others!
- Shylock, scene iii
- I like not fair terms and a villain's mind.
- Bassanio, scene iii
Act II[edit]
- Mislike me not for my complexion,
The shadow'd livery of the burnish'd sun.
- Prince of Morocco, scene i
- An honest exceeding poor man.
- Old Gobbo, scene ii
- The young gentleman (according to Fates and Destinies and such odd sayings, the Sisters Three, and such branches of learning) is, indeed, deceased; or, as you would say in plain terms, gone to heaven.
- Launcelot Gobbo, scene ii
- The very staff of my age, my very prop.
- Old Gobbo, scene ii
- It is a wise father that knows his own child.
- Launcelot Gobbo, scene ii
- Truth will come to light; murder cannot be hid long; a man's son may; but, in the end, truth will out.
- Launcelot Gobbo, scene ii
- In the twinkling of an eye.
- Launcelot Gobbo, scene ii
- But hear thee, Gratiano;
Thou art too wild, too rude and bold of voice;
Parts that become thee happily enough,
And in such eyes as ours appear not faults;
But where thou art not known, why, there they show
Something too liberal. Pray thee, take pain
To allay with some cold drops of modesty,
Thy skipping spirit, lest through thy wild behavior,
I be misconstrued in the place I go to,
And lose my hopes.
- Bassiano, scene ii
- I know the hand: in faith, 'tis a fair hand;
And whiter than the paper it writ on
Is the fair hand that writ.
- Lorenzo, scene iv
- The vile squeaking of the wry-necked fife.
- Shylock, scene v
- There will come a Christian by,/Shall be worth a Jewess' eye.
- Launcelot Gobbo, scene v
- Fast bind, fast find.
- Shylock, scene v
- All things that are,
Are with more spirit chased than enjoy'd.
How like a younker, or a prodigal,
The scarfed bark puts from her native bay,
Hugg'd and embraced by the strumpet wind!
How like the prodigal doth she return,
With over-weather'd ribs and ragged sails,
Lean, rent, and beggar'd by the strumpet wind!
- Gratiano, scene vi
- But love is blind, and lovers cannot see
The pretty follies that themselves commit.
- Jessica, scene vi
- Must I hold a candle to my shames?
- Jessica, scene vi
- For she is wise, if I can judge of her,
And fair she is, if that mine eyes be true,
And true she is, as she hath proved herself,
And therefore, like herself, wise, fair and true,
Shall she be placed in my constant soul.
- Lorenzo, scene vi
- All that glisters is not gold,
Often have you heard that told:
Many a man his life hath sold,
But my outside to behold:
Gilded tombs do worms infold.
Had you been as wise as bold,
Young in limbs, in judgment old,
Your answer had not been inscroll'd.
Fare you well, your suit is cold.
- Prince of Morocco, reading Portia's note, scene vii; this is the source of the popular paraphrase "All that glitters is not gold."
- Salerino: I saw Bassanio and Antonio part:
Bassanio told him he would make some speed
Of his return: he answer'd, 'Do not so;
Slubber not business for my sake, Bassanio
But stay the very riping of the time;
And for the Jew's bond which he hath of me,
Let it not enter in your mind of love:
Be merry, and employ your chiefest thoughts
To courtship and such fair ostents of love
As shall conveniently become you there:'
And even there, his eye being big with tears,
Turning his face, he put his hand behind him,
And with affection wondrous sensible
He wrung Bassanio's hand; and so they parted.
Solanio: I think he only loves the world for him.
- scene viii
- Even in the force and road of casualty.
- Prince of Arragon, scene ix
- The fire seven times tried this;
Seven times tried that judgment is,
That did never choose miss.
Some there be that shadow's kiss,
And have but a shadow's bliss.
There be fools alive, iwis,
Silver'd o'er, and so was this.
Take what wife you will to bed,
I will ever be your head:
So be gone; you are sped.
- Prince of Arragon, reading Portia's note, scene ix
- Hanging and wiving goes by destiny.
- Nerissa, scene ix
Act IV[edit]
- A harmless necessary cat.
- Shylock, scene i
- What, wouldst thou have a serpent sting thee twice?
- Shylock, scene i
- If you deny me, fie upon your law!
There is no power in the decrees of Venice.
I stand for judgement: answer — shall I have it?
- Shylock, scene i
- I am a tainted wether of the flock,
Meetest for death; the weakest kind of fruit
Drops earliest to the ground.
- Antonio, scene i
- I never knew so young a body with so old a head.
- Clerk, scene i
- The quality of mercy is not strain'd,
It droppeth as the gentle rain from heaven
Upon the place beneath: it is twice bless'd;
It blesseth him that gives and him that takes.
'Tis mightiest in the mightiest; it becomes
The throned monarch better than his crown;
His sceptre shows the force of temporal power,
The attribute to awe and majesty,
Wherein doth sit the dread and fear of kings;
But mercy is above this sceptred sway,
It is enthroned in the hearts of kings,
It is an attribute to God himself;
And earthly power doth then show likest God's,
When mercy seasons justice. Therefore, Jew,
Though justice be thy plea, consider this,
That in the course of justice none of us
Should see salvation: we do pray for mercy;
And that same prayer, doth teach us all to render
The deeds of mercy.
- Portia, scene i
- A Daniel come to judgment! yea, a Daniel!
- Shylock, scene i
- Shylock: Is it so nominated in the bond?
Portia: It is not so express'd, but what of that? 'Twere good you do so much for charity.
Shylock: I cannot find it: 'tis not in the bond.
- Scene i
- Commend me to your honorable wife.
Tell her the process of Antonio's end;
Say how I loved you, speak me fair in death.
And when the tale is told, bid her be judge
Whether Bassanio had not once a love.
- Antonio, scene i
- This bond doth give thee here no jot of blood;
The words expressly are, a pound of flesh.
Take then thy bond, take thou thy pound of flesh;
But, in the cutting it, if thou dost shed
One drop of Christian blood, thy lands and goods
Are by the laws of Venice confiscate
Unto the state of Venice.
- Portia, scene i
- An upright judge, a learned judge!
- Gratiano, scene i
- A second Daniel, a Daniel, Jew!
Now, infidel, I have you on the hip.
- Gratiano, scene i
- A Daniel, still say I; a second Daniel! —
I thank thee, Jew, for teaching me that word.
- Gratiano, scene i
- Nay, take my life and all; pardon not that;
You take my house, when you do take the prop
That doth sustain my house; you take my life,
When you do take the means whereby I live.
- Shylock, scene i
- He is well paid that is well satisfied.
- Portia, scene i
Act V[edit]
- How sweet the moonlight sleeps upon this bank!
Here we will sit, and let the sounds of music
Creep in our ears: soft stillness, and the night,
Become the touches of sweet harmony.
Sit, Jessica. Look how the floor of heaven
Is thick inlaid with patines of bright gold.
There's not the smallest orb which thou behold'st
But in his motion like an angel sings,
Still quiring to the young-eyed cherubins.
Such harmony is in immortal souls;
But, whilst this muddy vesture of decay
Doth grossly close it in, we cannot hear it.
- Lorenzo, scene i
- I am never merry when I hear sweet music.
- Jessica, scene i
- The man that hath no music in himself,
Nor is not mov'd with concord of sweet sounds,
Is fit for treasons, stratagems, and spoils;
The motions of his spirit are dull as night,
And his affections dark as Erebus:
Let no such man be trusted.
- Lorenzo, scene i
- How far that little candle throws his beams!
So shines a good deed in a naughty world.
- Portia, scene i
- How many things by season season'd are
To their right praise, and true perfection! —
Peace, ho! the moon sleeps with Endymion,
And would not be awak'd!
- Portia, scene i
- This night, methinks, is but the daylight sick.
- Portia, scene i
- These blessed candles of the night.
- Bassanio, scene i
- Fair ladies, you drop manna in the way
Of starved people.
- Lorenzo, scene i
- We will answer all things faithfully.
- Portia, scene i
Quotes about The Merchant of Venice[edit]
- This inhumanity of mercenary commerce is the more notable because it is a fulfilment of the law that the corruption of the best is the worst. … And this is the ultimate lesson which the leader of English intellect meant for us … in the tale of the "Merchant of Venice"; in which the true and incorrupt merchant,—kind and free, beyond every other Shakespearian conception of men,—is opposed to the corrupted merchant, or usurer; the lesson being deepened by the expression of the strange hatred which the corrupted merchant bears to the pure one, mixed with intense scorn.
- John Ruskin, Unto This Last (1860), 3

When filling out the paperwork for the ATF for a SBR it asks for the barrel length which mine will be 10.5" then it ask for the over all length I do not know this because I do not have all the parts yet just have a stripped lower. My plans are for a AR-15 with a 10.5 barrel with a 6 position collapsable stock. Does any body know what this lenth would be ? does it need the measurment collapsed or extended ? Just wanting to get all the paperwork correct. Thanks
Extendeddoes it need the measurment collapsed or extended ?
I'm going to guess (tried to measure my 16" barreled as a 10.5") and I came out just about 28.5", so Mark's 29" OAL might be right.
Hope someone can give you a solid answer.

Please come along to the British Small Board Go Championship, to be held in Cambridge on Sunday 22 January 2012.
The winner gets to be the British National 13x13 Go Champion, keeps the splendid trophy for one year and wins £50 cash. Past winners include Matt Cocke, Des Cann and the late Terry Stacey. The current champion is Andrew Simons. There is also a £20 prize for the best junior. Other prizes will depend on the number of entries.
As usual the champion will be determined by a double-elimination system of even games. Other games will be played using the usual 13x13 handicap system. This is usually very successful, last year exactly half the handicap games were won by the weaker player. So we hope that it will be a good event for double-digit kyu players as well as those aspiring to be a national champion.
The venue is in central Cambridge so it is good for sight-seeing in the lunch break.
And once again there will be home made cakes!
Please let me know as soon as possible if you will be coming. I will be putting on the website a list of the entries (except people who tell me they do not want to be listed). Last year although we had a reasonable number of players in the end, there were only two entries four days before the event. So I am very grateful if people can enter a bit earlier.

I am in SE Washington state, just noticed some capped drone brood this last week and I would like to start raising some queens. How many frames should I use in my mating nucs? My concern is temperature this time of year, highs have been 50-60's with lows in the mid 30's and I am sure we will have a few under 32. I was planning on using 2-3 frames with 1 being a brood frame, but I am afraid the brood will get chilled. Any suggestions? This will be my first year raising queens.
Thanks, Ben

I also really liked this design. I wish the top 10 had a chance to be printed, even if it isn't for the $10 price. This was a fun derby and I've never gotten so many votes on a design before so that was exciting. Hope to try again...must say this is quite addicting.

Skek - the kelly shirt I just got more closely matches the updated colour. And WOW, congratulations on soaring to the top ten!
Ah, if only I had one or two more days...
Thanks for the great ride, voters. You made my week!

Hey Infinity, on the chance that this makes 4th place and does not get printed by Woot, please let me know if it gets printed elsewhere...please? I want it bad!
I would buy one of these if it was available at the swag shop
Re: Slushed
If you get this shirt printed anywhere else PLEASE let me know. I wanted this one very badly. You did a WONDERFUL job.

I second this, if this shirt goes to print somewhere I'd definitely want to pick one up as well.
Re: The Pig Fights Back

Re: EASTER-CREST
Absolutely fantastic, awesome design!!
Re: Desktop Daydream
I really like the design on this one but it looks a little bit simple with just that. Maybe show that image on top of someone's desk at work?
You were still wearing OP in 1998? Ouch, I thought that stuff went out in 1988.

Re: (Title eaten by giant fruit.)
OH MY GOSH I GOTTA have this shirt
I had something to say, but Apple's worthless Safari crashed. Now I'm back at the comment screen with absolutely no idea what's going on. Typical. Why do people like these carp vacuuming Macs? They vacuum.
Re: Honu- spirit of Hawaii
Happy thought... Honu is now for sale on my Spreadshirt site! It's currently on bright green, but if you want the look below, change the shirt color to SAGE.
If you order >$30, you get free shipping with the code WINTER58 (CADWWINTER58 for canada)!

Last year I didn't stay ahead of my bees enough and had too many swarms. This spring I have 4 very strong hives, #5 not so strong and #6 dead (didn't build up last summer, glad to see it go). Rosemary, eucalyptus, CA bay, etc are blooming, pollen is coming in. I want to be proactive.
The first warm day very soon I want to go through every frame of all brood boxes and scrape off all the unwanted burr comb, do any required checkerboading, and set them up well for a big year. Any advice, tips, or especially pointers to videos or instruction on this step would be appreciated. Even stuff like how to tip up a box and scrape off the burr comb. Thanks.
