- "They are proud and willful, but they are true-hearted, generous in thought and deed; bold but not cruel; wise but unlearned, writing no books but singing many songs, after the manner of the children of Men before the Dark Years. ''"
- —Aragorn, The Two Towers
The Rohirrim were a race of people who inhabited the land of Rohan, which was named after their famous Horses.
Description and CultureEdit
Physically, the Rohirrim were a tall, blonde, and mostly blue eyed people. They were fiercely independent and conservative, remaining within their own language and culture. Their horses were very important assets in their everyday lives with their entire culture being based around the breeding and trading of them. Their people lived mostly in villages on the plains of Rohan where their horses grazed. There were very few cities in Rohan.
The Rohirrim are descended from the Éothéod, a race of Men who lived in the vales of the Great River Anduin, but that removed to Calenardhon, which was granted them in perpetuity by the Ruling Steward of Gondor, Cirion in reward for the assistance that they offered Gondor at a time of great need. As a result, they were lifelong allies of Gondor bound by the Oath of Eorl. At that time Calenardhon was renamed Rohan (Horse-land) after their many horses. By the Rohirrim themselves Rohan is usually called The Mark.
The terms Riders of Rohan and Riders of the Mark are commonly used and refer specifically to their mounted soldiers. The former is a chapter title in The Two Towers. The King's Riders were specifically the Riders who formed the bodyguard Of the high kingThe Dúnedain of Gondor believe that the Rohirrim were distantly related to them (having descended from the Atanatári of the First Age) and describe them as Middle Men, that being inferior to the Númenóreans in both culture and descent, but superior to the Men of Darkness who had worshipped and served Sauron.
The Rohirrim had had contacts with Elves in their ancient history, and knew of Eru, but like the Dúnedain they did not worship him in any temples. They seem to have highly valued the Vala Oromë the Hunter, whom they called Béma.
They are ruled by a line of kings descended from Eorl the Young, who had first brought them to Rohan, and in time of war every able man rode to meet the Muster of Rohan.
The name is Sindarin for People of the Horse-lords (sometimes translated simply as Horse-lords) and are mostly used by outsiders: the name they had for themselves are Eorlingas, after their king Eorl the Young who had first brought them to Rohan. Rohirrim is a collective noun, and when used grammatically as a subject or object is usually used with the definite article (i.e. the Rohirrim). It can also be used as an adjective to modify another noun (e.g., a Rohirrim village, a troop of Rohirrim cavalry, etc.) The pure adjectival form, meaning "pertaining to the Rohirrim," is Rohirric (Rohirric tactics, Rohirric culture, etc.)
Anglo-Saxon ConnectionEditThe Rohirrim seem to resemble the ancient Anglo-Saxons, a Germanic people comprising three tribes, the Angles, the Saxons, and the Jutes, who invaded and conquered Britain around the 5th century. Tolkien was himself a distinguished professor of the Anglo-Saxon language (Old English).
The people of Rohan resemble the Anglo-Saxons in several ways. In appearance they are fair skinned and mostly blond haired, like the Germanic invaders, but they also have cultural links to those ancient tribes. This is shown in the type of armour used by Rohirric warriors, which includes an extensive choice of mail, both chain and scaled, and in their reverence for the sword as an expensive yet symbolically important weapon, to be given a title and passed down through generations.
Rohirric armies are also known to favour the shield-wall, which was a strategy commonly employed by the Anglo-Saxons. Finally, common names given to the people of Rohan tend to resemble names of Old English. For instance, the name Éomer is found in the Beowulf saga (an epic Tolkien built much of his career around), and means "horse-famous" in Old English. While these traits of the Rohirrim could be passed off as typical of any agricultural, Northern society of Europe, such as the Vikings, taken as a whole and with the knowledge that Tolkien was an acclaimed professor of Anglo-Saxon and indeed had set out to create a uniquely "English" mythology, it can be inferred that the descriptions of the Rohirrim were heavily drawn from those of the ancient Anglo-Saxons.
However one aspect of the Rohirrim, their close affinity to horses as beasts of warfare and their extensive and superb use of cavalry, is not a trait that is shared with the ancient Anglo-Saxon tribes, who were predominately foot-soldiers in wartime. (It was, however, characteristic of the Ostrogoths, a Germanic tribe that dominated eastern Europe during the late Roman period, whose language was also studied by Tolkien.) Tolkien's choice to represent the Northern-descended Rohirrim as a horse-loving people is in itself quite interesting, but is obviously part of his unique mythology. Yet it has been argued that one possible reason for the horse inclusion is the events of 1066 in England. According to Tom Shippey, Tolkien imagined the Rohirrim to be a horse-culture because the only surviving Anglo-Saxon words for color were all words for the colors of horses.
At this point the Anglo-Saxons were defeated by the invading Normans, who were able to win the battle through their superior use of cavalry. Therefore, it has been stated that this inclusion may an idea influenced by this, that if the Anglo-Saxon had been horse-lords they could have won the Battle of Hastings thus preserving the Anglo-Saxon culture which Tolkien enjoyed. Certainly, whether the Rohirrim truly are partly or wholly based on the Anglo-Saxons can be a topic of debate among Tolkien fans and scholars.

Group one winning jockeys Michelle Payne and Michael Walker have been called to front stewards over alleged betting activities along with fellow rider Anthony Darmanin.
The inquiries will be held in Melbourne tomorrow after a lengthy investigation by Victorian stewards, following a routine audit of wagering service providers' betting accounts.
The three will be questioned over bets placed on local and international thoroughbred races. None of the jockeys rode in the races in question.
Payne, who recently came back to riding from a serious injury, will be questioned over three bets totalling $450 through a Sportsbet account in her name.
Walker will be quizzed over four bets totalling $57 placed via a Tattsbett account in his name while bets amounting to $100 were placed in a Sportsbet account bearing Darmanin's name.
The bets placed in Payne's account in May 2011 include a $200 double on international racing and two multiwin bets covering international races and sports events.
Darmanin's account shows two $50 multiwin bets in April 2011 which include jockeys' challenges combined with sports.
Victorian jockey Damien Oliver is serving a 10-month ban after admitting to placing a A$10,000 bet on the winner of a race in 2010 in which he rode the second favourite.
Form analyst Mark Hunter placed Oliver's bet via retired Queensland bookmaker Laurie Bricknell.
Sydney jockeys Peter Robl and Blake Shinn served lengthy disqualifications after they were found guilty in late 2010 of betting through a TAB account held by Robl's wife.

Former OMB Director Under Reagan Slams Romney's Bain Job Claims
Original post made by Gosh Golly, Woodside: other, on Jun 6, 2012
Former Reagan OMB Director Stockman said
"...I don't think Mitt Romney can legitimately say he learned anything about how to create jobs in the LBO business..."
"...all the jobs that he talks about came from Staples. That was a very early stage venture that they got out of long before it got to its current size."
Pretty entertaining to watch Fox News talking heads explode right before they cut him off.

As Mr. Stockman notes, Romney's claim to have created private sector jobs is bogus.
As for the public sector, he impressively applied his skill to drive his state down 10 positions to 47th in the nation in job creation.

Of course it's also a shame that simple democracy was not allowed to prevail by counting every vote in the state, which would have also resulted in Mr. Gore being president. Too bad because the world would be a better place for it.
Hank, funny how you have no answer on this thread....

With the soccer and netball seasons over, the steady stream of knee injuries presenting to the emergency department has eased. I thought this may be a good time to share some information about a common knee injury, the ACL tear, and discuss some ways of preventing these injuries.
We've all heard about anterior cruciate ligament, or ACL, tears ending careers in professional athletes. But most of us are unaware that the highest risk group is recreational female athletes aged 15 to 25. This group is five times more likely to suffer ACL tears than men. These injuries typically occur in sports involving sudden changes of direction, such as soccer, hockey and netball, but can also result from hard landings after jumps or even direct blows to the knee.
The ACL is located in the middle of the knee, connecting the back of the femur (thighbone) to the front of the tibia (shinbone).
Knees are weak and wobbly joints and it's up to the ligaments to keep the knee from buckling. The ACL acts as a tether, keeping the shin from sliding forward of the thigh.
There are lots of theories as to why females are especially susceptible, but it probably comes down to several factors. Female hips are wider than men's, creating a slant to the thighbones that makes women a few degrees more knock-kneed than men.
Under the strain of landing from a jump, this increased angulation forces the knee inward, straining the ACL.
Female athletes have weaker and slower-to-activate hamstring muscles than men. Hamstrings act as shock absorbers for the ACL and when they're weaker the ligaments have to absorb more of the strain. Weaker muscles combined with increased flexibility and more mobile joints also contributes to increased risk of ACL tears in women.
Oestrogen, which affects the stretchiness and strength of connective tissue, also probably plays a role in ACL tears.
Whatever the mechanism, the rates of ACL tears among young female athletes are high and are increasing. For many this will mean time off and a lengthy rehabilitation; for others it will mean surgery or giving up their chosen sport. Next week we'll discuss preventing ACL tears.

Project SERV grants total more than $1.1 million this fiscal year
May 11, 2010
Contact: Jo Ann Webb
(202) 401-1576
The U.S. Department of Education's Office of Safe and Drug-Free Schools has awarded Knox County Schools in Knoxville, Tennessee, almost $50,000 to assist with ongoing recovery efforts following a school shooting in early February that left the principal and assistant principal seriously wounded. Project SERV grants provide funding to school districts and institutions of higher learning that have experienced a traumatic event and need resources to respond to the event and re-establish a safe learning environment. This fiscal year, the Office of Safe and Drug-Free Schools has awarded more than $1.1 million to 11 grantees, including the most recent grant to Knox County Schools.
"Project SERV is an unusual federal program in that it provides resources in a timely manner to help schools and universities as they seek to recover from events that disrupt the lives of students and their learning environments," Kevin Jennings, assistant deputy secretary for the Office of Safe and Drug Free Schools, says.
Knox County Schools is a large school district encompassing rural, suburban and urban communities. The district is comprised of 56,000 students and 87 school sites, including Inskip Elementary School, where the shooting took place. On Feb. 10, following an early dismissal due to inclement weather, the principal and assistant principal at Inskip were shot by a fourth-grade teacher. The shooting occurred after the teacher learned that his contract would not be renewed.
Counseling and support services were offered to the school community in the immediate days following the shooting. However, staff anxiety levels have been elevated. To help address the continuing needs of students and staff at Inskip Elementary School, Knox County Schools has been awarded a Project SERV Immediate Services grant to help restore the learning environment. Services provided by the grant will include:
- Hiring a school security officer for the remainder of the school year
- Hiring a professional counselor
- Contracting with a mental health provider to provide additional counseling for students, parents and eligible faculty, and
- Contracting with a retired principal to serve as a "principal coach" for the interim principal.
Since FY 2001, the Office of Safe and Drug-Free Schools has awarded more than $27.4 million in Project SERV funding. To view a list of grantees and award amounts, visit http://www2.ed.gov/programs/dvppserv/index.html.

Food in Hospital
Having just been in hospital with acute diverticulitis, I was astonished at the lack of understanding of the dietary needs of patients who often need their appetite tempting. I was put onto a "clear fluids" only diet. The kitchen sent a clear soup that tasted of wrung out rancid cardboard. No wonder some patients end up malnourished!

Re: Food in Hospital
I have to say, that having been in hospital twice in the last 2 years having miscarriages, the food was the last thing on my mind!!!
Northampton General Hospital, although bottom of the list in the hygeine department, dished up ok grub.
Comes down to the fact, that if you are hungry you will eat anything I suppose!........Although, if you were there for any length of time I imagine it would get mind numbingly bland.
Let's face it...sitting there 24/7 you need something to look forward to, and not just the latest issue of NOW !

Re: Food in Hospital
Hi I am a recently new member, I take it you are both from the UK, I work in a hospital in Australia and I have to agree that I thought that Jamie needs to do a similar thing in the hospitals as he did in the schools. How anyone can destroy even a simple thing as a sandwich is beyond me, even us staff don't like eating the food, recently a seperate coffee shop opened up in the hospital but it is a bit expensive, so yes we need help from Jamie. Oh by the way I don't work in the kitchen.

O.o Want that pattern!
Seriously its pretty amazing
Here are my blocks for this week. I'm not a 'purist' and am working from the book only, so I don't think I'll worry too much if they are mirror image or not.
I'm a little nervous to trim to size. I have this nightmare that when I get to the 230th block I'll realize I trimmed 1/4" too short!!
I just finished the first triangle (not pictured) and trimming that one to size is scary, too. I have the DJ triangle ruler and it shows the 1/4" seam allowance, so I guess I can forge ahead and trim exactly the size of the ruler. Someone please stop me if that sounds wrong.
How did you do this??? I would think your way will be helpful down the road on these really complicated ones.

Exchange Dates to Remember
Spring 2018 Applications
Applications Due:
September 22, 2017
September 28, 2017
September 29, 2017
I spent the Summer Semester of 2016 in Berlin, Germany at Freie University. It was an incredible experience which I recommend highly to any law student. The diversity of my classmates and the lens through which subjects like international law, human rights, the United Nations, and Economics are viewed in Europe allowed me to view our legal system from a perspective that I would not have been able to get here at UConn Law.
My experience in Berlin was extremely positive, benefiting all aspects of my life, personally and professionally. I enthusiastically recommend a year of study in Berlin to any and all students who are fluent in German.
Founded in 1948 by students, scholars and scientists who wanted the opportunity to be free to pursue their training, teaching and research activities outside of the scope of political influence, it is now one of the top ranked universities in Germany. The three guiding principles of truth, justice and liberty underscore the values contributing to the legal education.
Students choosing to study at Freie Universität will have a large variety of legal courses to choose from and will work with a German Law professor to select a suitable group of courses tailored to the students' academic preferences and demonstrated fluency level. More than 4,000 students, 25 professors, and over 100 adjunct professors and faculty assistants make the Law Department one of the biggest in Germany.
Students with a knowledge of German are preferred for this program because they will have more options in terms of coursework. However, there are a number of courses taught in English. Set up a meeting with Carrie Field, Director of Graduate and Exchange Programs, to discuss your eligibility of this program.
Each year the International Programs department and the Office of Financial Aid work together to create an appropriate semester or year budget for the exchange program. This budget is based on the UConn Law rate of tuition plus the living costs associated with the program.
For more information visit http://www.fubest.org.
Students choosing to study at Free University Berlin can opt to attend the university for the full academic year or for one semester in the fall or spring. Please note that the academic calendar at Free University Berlin does not align with the UConn Law's academic calendar. Students typically opt for the spring semester which runs from March through July.
First and second year day division students are eligible to study internationally in the second or third year. Evening division students and four-year day students are eligible to study internationally in their third or fourth year. Applications are due in February of the prior academic year.
The Law Department at Freie Universität Berlin allows direct exchange students to freely choose their classes. There are no mandatory courses to attend and no minimum ECTS credits that need to be obtained. Each exchange student can decide which and how many subjects he/she wants to complete. Exchange students will have the opportunity to study from a number of different subject areas and under many different professors.
Overview of all courses offered by the Law Department: http://www.jura.fu-berlin.de/en/studium/lehrplan/index.html
The Law Department at Freie Universität Berlin also offers a list of classes taught in English.
Additionally, students are able to take courses offered at the Humboldt University of Berlin.
Introduction to German and European Company Law
In every EU member state companies are essential market players. The course offers an insight into the basic legal rules governing the various forms of companies. Subjects include a general introduction to the common principles of Company law and to the European legislation in that field as well as an overview on recent developments in German Company law.
Contract Law in Europe
This course deals with recent developments in Contract Law within the EU. Subjects include legislation and leading cases on essential questions such as conclusion of contract, contractual liability and anti-discrimination in EU member states. The discussion on a future European Contract Law that has recently been put into focus by the publication of a Common Frame of Reference (CFR) shall be dealt with as well.
European Consumer Law
Consumer policy is a core component of the European Union's strategy objective of improving the quality of life for all EU citizens. This class starts out with a look at the history of consumer protection in the EU and the basis provided for consumer protection initiatives by the Treaty establishing the European Union. We then consider different Consumer Protection directives, i.e. those on unfair contract terms, doorstep selling, distance selling (including electronic commerce), sale of consumer goods and guarantees, injunctions. We will address both the efficacy of these directives as well as the pros and cons of a minimum versus a maximum harmonization approach. Measures to protect consumers by way of conflict of laws and forum selection rules are examined, as well as other instruments of consumer protection, such as the Consumer Complaint Form, Legal Aid and the European Judicial Network in civil and commercial matters.
International Arbitration
The course will be divided into two parts. In the first part a systematic overview over International Arbitration will be offered, with a special focus on commercial cases. The main issues covered are the functioning of important arbitral institutions such as the International Chamber of Commerce (ICC) and the different stages of the arbitral proceedings, including the drafting of the arbitration agreement, the question of the applicable law, the procedural rules and the enforcement of the award.
The second part of the block lecture will be a Practice Exercise in which all participants will be invited to work on a case study. The subject of this case study will be located in the field of international commercial arbitration law. Students will be divided in two groups in order to prepare a simulation of arbitral proceedings on the case in front of the Tribunal. After the hearings and the final decision of the Tribunal there will be a final session which is dedicated to commentaries on the case as well as feedback on students' performance.
Freie Universität is located in Germany's capital city of Berlin and there's nothing this historic city does not offer. It's home to 39 universities, 20 courts, 56 theaters, 157 museums, 1,931 sports clubs, a lake, a river, and a canal system, all meandering through 12 different neighborhoods. Berlin is a city offering unlimited cultural exploration. While living in Berlin, students can explore Museum Island, Charlottenburg Palace, parks, planetariums, lectures, readings, and become part of a vibrant international scene.
Founded in the 13th century and located in the center of Europe, Berlin has an eventful history that defies simple summarization. Caught in the middle of the East-West Conflict, Berlin is a symbol of the European integration process where different political, cultural, and historical experiences have merged to create a truly unique and personable city.
Berlin is a city that continually reinvents itself, offering a laid back way of life amidst historical and traditional activities. Choosing to study in Berlin offers students access to an international university with a global network located in a leafy residential district that has long been a highly respected and well known center of research-based activities.

I am hiving my first package this April. I'd like to do a VERY low tech obsevation hive. Will the following work:
1. Take a medium, 8-frame hive body (unassembled). Using a jig saw, cut out the center of both long sides to within about 1.5 inches of the top, bottom and sides. Leave the short sides (ones that hold the frames) alone.
2. Glue in a piece of glass on the interior surface of both sides to cover the area I cut out. Use cutout wood to cover glass so bees will have their darkness??
3. Put in foundationless frames and hive the package. Enjoy watching the bees work!
Total price is about $30, including the glass and medium hive body. Will this work? Has anyone done this before?

I performed a t test comparing the penalties called on LSU and Alabama during the regular season over the ten years from 2003 to 2012. I took the data of penalties each game from the official LSU and Alabama sites. Over this period each team played 118 games.
LSU's penalties per year goes like this: 89, 73, 74, 76, 76, 104, 74, 91, 67, 89.
Alabama's penalties per year: 48, 48, 63, 63, 48, 55, 70, 70, 66, 69.
LSU's average penalties per game is 6.8898.
Alabama's average penalties per game is 5.0847.
Using the t test comparing all the games, I get a p value of 0.0001! This means that there is certainly a difference between the penalties of these two teams. The important question is why?
I see two possible explanations.
1. Alabama is a more disciplined team. I find this to be highly unlikely as they would have to be more disciplined consistently of over a ten year period which included multiple different coaches on each team, including one coach who coached at both schools!
2. There is a bias for Alabama. This is much more likely. It would not take a conspiracy, just the subtle bias that is a result of the current structure of the SEC head offices. Also seems likely when we look at the other areas where Alabama seems to have created an advantage for itself.
This suggests that we aren't as disciplined and play more aggressive football. Which, contrary to your belief, is actually more likely than a bias towards alabama.
Evidence Strongly Suggesting Alabama Officiating Bias
NO Evidence needed, just use the eyeball test.

Evidence Strongly Suggesting Alabama Officiating Bias
Which, contrary to your belief, is actually more likely than a bias towards alabama.
So why did Saban coached LSU teams commit much more penalties than the ones at Bama?
I know a Bama fan would say "He's a better coach here than he was there".
It does raise eyebrows
OL tends to get the most penalties throughout a season with holding/false start being most common.

In a September 8 Daily Mail story, tabloid journalist David Rose, who's long played fast and loose with climate change facts, was at it again, championing the "record return" of Arctic ice cap this year, while completely ignoring the long-term warming trend—that summer sea ice has declined by 40 percent since satellite tracking began in 1979.
As he has in the past, Rose cherry-picked the global warming factoid he needed to arrive at his point, while ignoring the big one that would have led readers in the opposite (and correct) direction. His story has spawned even more climate deniers' claims that global warming is over and that we're entering an era of global cooling.
Let's take the key assertion in Rose's piece: that from 2012 to 2013 Arctic sea ice grew by 60 percent, thereby disproving global warming—and denying its enduring relevancy.
Because of weather variability (weather patterns, ocean cycles, etc.), ice loss can fluctuate, sometimes wildly, on a year-to-year basis, but the long-term prognosis for Arctic sea ice has been, and will continue to be, terminal.
Consider this: If you've ever spent time around someone with Stage 4 cancer, you've probably seen her have the occasional great day, during which her energy level was high and she was feeling like her old self. But this short detour into good health was just that—a brief sidestep. This person still had terminal cancer, and had one good day sprinkled throughout all the terrible ones.
This is basically what happened with this year's Arctic sea ice. Yes, Arctic sea ice averaged 2.35 million square miles in August 2013. Yes, this is 60 percent bigger than the low of 1.32 million square miles recorded in September 2012. But this occasional great day isn't indicative of the big-picture narrative.
Also, in turning a blind eye to this long-term prognosis, Rose failed to mention the fact that, because of a statistical principal known as "regression to the mean," climate scientists largely saw the increase in Arctic sea ice coming.
Mean regression is the idea that if a measured data point—in this case sea ice—is extreme in one year, the next time that same data point is measured it will probably be less extreme.
Confused? Consider another analogy: In a season-opening victory over the Baltimore Ravens, Denver Broncos quarterback Peyton Manning tied an NFL record by throwing for seven touchdowns. The last year a QB threw that many touchdowns in a single game was 1969. Chances are, in his next game, Manning won't throw for nearly as many scores. Most likely, he'll revert (regress to the mean) closer to his career per-game touchdown average, which is 1.9.
So, given that 2012 set a record for lowest sea ice coverage, it is only logical that 2013 would not set another record low.
"Even if this year ends up being the sixth- or seventh-lowest extent, what matters is that the 10 lowest extents recorded have happened during the last 10 years," said Walt Meier, a glaciologist with NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center, to Nature World News in late August. "The long-term trend is strongly downward."
The key phrase in Meier's assertion being "long-term."
Whereas weather can best be described as atmospheric conditions over a short period of time, climate is how the atmosphere behaves over long periods of time.
And, no matter what the year-to-year cherry-pickers like Rose pronouce from their climate-denying soapboxes, the long-term prognosis for Arctic sea ice is fairly dismal, with some scientists predicting an ice-less summer within a decade.

[Short Version]
New beekeeper here. Bees are building comb across bars. What's the best way to deal with it? Thank you!
[Long Version]
This is my first year of keeping bees. I love it! Installed three packages of bees this spring into three Warre hives. Everything went great. Bees started drawing comb immediately and queen got down to business as well. Had comb on 6 1/2 - 7 bars when I placed an empty hive section under the first one. Bees moved down and started drawing comb on new bottom section. Did an inspection today, a week and a half or so after the last time, and the comb in the new bottom section has gone crazy and goes everywhere.
What is the best way to deal with this? Should I just cut it all out and have them start all over again?
I now know that when I added the new section I should have taken a bar out of the full section and put it in the new section to maybe give them a guide. You can bet the farm that's what I'll do next time. :-)
Anyway I would welcome any suggestions or advice about how to fix this problem.
Thanks -

Old Guard Fife and Drum Corps at White House
Old Guard Fife and Drum Corps performs at ITC
By James M. Benavides
Public Affairs Specialist
(April 20, 2009)--The Old Guard Fife and Drum Corps will perform at the Institute of Texan Cultures at 11 a.m., Tuesday, April 21 to share some of America's oldest military music traditions. The performance is included with regular admission to the museum.

The musicians of the Old Guard Fife and Drum Corps perform on 10-hole wooden fifes, hand-made, rope-tensioned drums and single-valve bugles -- all of which are modern adaptations of late 18th-century military signal instruments.
The Fife and Drum Corps repertoire is representative of traditional field music, much of which has been researched from 18th and 19th century primary sources. The group uses traditional tunes as the basis for more complex and challenging arrangements.
Created in 1960 as an element of the 3rd United States Infantry Regiment (The Old Guard) at Ft. Myer, Va., the Old Guard Fife and Drum Corps performs at ceremonies and special events at the White House and throughout the nation's capital and special events such as San Antonio's annual Fiesta celebration.
Institute of Texan Cultures admission is $8, adults ages 12-64; $7, ages 65 and older; $6, college students with ID and children ages 3-11; and free, museum members, children ages 2 and younger, UTSA and Alamo Colleges students with ID and UTSA faculty and staff. Museum hours are 10 a.m.-5 p.m., Tuesday-Saturday, and noon-5 p.m., Sunday.
The Institute of Texan Cultures is on the UTSA HemisFair Park Campus, 851 Durango Blvd., San Antonio, Texas, 78205. For more information, call (210) 458-2330.

text: Are you sure it sez "Police Positive"? Annual production serial numbers for the Police Positive .38 model range from #1 in 1905 through 406725 in 1943; I don't have the serial numbers for 1944-47, but I don't think they made another 190,000. The series numbers were also shared with the Bankers Special and Police Positive .32 models. Your serial number possibly corresponds to an Official Police or Police Positive Special model. In any event, it most certainly was in service in another country. Hope this helps some.

The signs are mildly positive for the dairy and beef sectors this year, but the outlook for sheep farmers does not look quite so rosy, agricultural economists said.
Farmers across the board will face the likelihood of a rising New Zealand dollar, which analysts say will remain well above its long-term average throughout 2013.
The Bank of New Zealand expects "stubborn strength" in the dollar to continue this year and for dips below US80c (95c) to be short-lived.
Federated Farmers president Bruce Wills said farmers were going to face the headwinds of an elevated currency for some time yet. "It's probably going to go higher before it goes lower," he said.
So far this year, the Kiwi has shown no signs of retreating.
Beef and dairy farmers can be expected to benefit from severe drought conditions that are gripping the United States, which have led to smaller herds and higher feed costs.
About 62 per cent of the continental United States experienced drought last year. In some states, the drought has been as severe as the so-called "dust bowl" years of the Great Depression.
As a result, US beef prices are at record highs, but the strong New Zealand dollar over the past year has wiped out much of the resulting gains for New Zealand farmers.
Weather-wise, 2013 has started well for most Kiwi farmers.
Federated Farmers said this week that much of New Zealand's farmland had benefited from summer rain, except for Hawke's Bay and parts of Gisborne.
The dairy season started poorly last June but has since picked up some momentum.
On the flipside, sheepmeat and wool prices have recorded big price falls. Sheepmeat lost about 40 per cent in the last six months and lamb prices have dropped by about one third in the last 12 months.
Despite the problems facing pastoral farming, Wills remained upbeat, based on world population growth and growth in the number of people who can afford better nutrition.
Eventual improvements in the US and European economy will take some of heat out of the New Zealand dollar, he says.
Westpac expects recovering economic activity in China over 2013 to drive demand for dairy products, while the lingering effects of drought in the US and elsewhere continue to constrain supply, which should result in higher prices.

Reviews of this property
Linh was a great host, met us earlier than check in time, very friendly & helpful.
Beautiful place right in the centre of where we needed to be. Would definitely go back! Thanks Linh for a great holiday!
Linh greeted us when we arrived, showed us the apartment and made us feel very welcomed! The apartment was very well equipped, and very cosy; we recommend it. There was a metro nearby so it made it very easy to get to the sights. The stay in Paris and in Linh´s apartment was without doubt very successful!
My boyfriend and I are stayed for three night at this apartment. It was really nice place. We both really enjoyed our stay. good location as well. And also the host Mr. Linh was friendly:) we recommend it!!!
We had a fantastic stay at Linh's apartment in Bastille, everything was as advertised: the apartment was nicely decorated and certainly well stocked with a TV with a multitude of channels, a computer, and wifi! We were greeted by a bottle of wine and Linh explained everything about the apartment to us, which was much appreciated! The location is perfect, with Bastille metro station being on 3 metro lines, and with 3 supermarkets close by! Thank you Linh!
Perfect spot in Paris! We very much enjoyed our stay in this appartment.
We go back there if possible.
After the first rental I do not doubt for a second book!
Thank you Mr. LHIN and the next.
Après la première location je n'ai pas de doutes pour réserver une deuxième fois!
Merci M. Lhin et à la prochaine.
Thank you very much Mr. LHIN for its impeccable hospitality! The apartment is very well decorated, very clean in a court tranqulle even if we are in a fairly lively neighborhood.
Excellent value for money!
I highly recommend it.
Thank you again.

Central location in Bastille District meant easy travelling around Paris and lots of local bars and restaurants etc, 15 minutes from Gare de Nord. Quick, reliable wifi. Very clean, private and comfortable apartment with friendly host and welcoming bottle of French wine! A great place to stay and see Paris. Thank you Linh.
Linh was a great host. He was really friendly and cordial. The flat was perfectly done, even with some small details like a wine bottle and french soap.
We had a great time in his accommodation and would honestly recommend it.

TORONTO - Exco Technologies Ltd. (TSX:XTC) said Friday it earned $7.1 million in its latest quarter, up sharply from a year ago, helped by higher sales and a recovery in the auto industry.
The maker of die-casting and extrusion tooling and equipment as well as automotive interior trim components for cars and light trucks said the profit amounted to 17 cents per diluted share for the quarter ended Sept. 30.
The results for the quarter ended Sept. 30 compared with a profit of $2.7 million or six cents per diluted share a year ago.
Sales totalled $61.7 million, up from $54 million.
"As we look toward the next year we believe the economic recovery in the North American automotive industry should continue to grow at a slow but steady pace," the company said.
For its full financial year ended Sept. 30, Exco reported a profit of $24.4 million or 60 cents per share on $242.5 million in sales. That compared with a profit of $13.3 million or 32 cents per share on $202.6 million in sales in the previous year.
Shares in the company were down 10 cents at $5.60 on the Toronto Stock Exchange on Friday.

Hej Nils!
I just want to take this opportunity to thank you for allowing us to stay at your house for one week. How you coped in a house full of Eurovision Song Contest maniacs I don't know, but you did and well done. Thank you for all the support and assistance and we hope to be back soon.
Tack så mycket
Daniel, Nikki, Kathy and Alice
Nils was a fantastic host! The house was great and in such a beautiful settling right next the the forest and a local nature reserve, and still so close and easy to get into the main city; just 12 mins on the train to Gamla Stam!
Nils even made us all dinner one night and even drove me to my new apartment!
I would highly recommend Nils and his house if you are looking to explore some real Swedish country side as well as the amazing city itself!
The house is very nice and well kept. It is very conveniently located, closed to an underground station, from which you can get to the centre of Stockholm in less 15-20 minutes. Rooms are spacious, comfortable and nicely furnished. Guest are allowed to use the kitchen at any time of the day. Nils is a very great host, friendly, open and always ready to help with all practical problems. We were the first guests from Poland at Nils"s nice house. We would like to come back here with our friends and to bring more guests from Poland. We recommend this place to everybody who wants to go to Stockholm! Thank you very much Nils for your hospitality (and, of course, for the fantastic dinner!).
A really nice place to stay. Close to the city, and close to nature . Nils is a really nice fellow, and the surroundings in the village are nice and cosy ! We were there for a week and had a great time; and meeting the other tourists from Germany, Spain, Belgium , and France just made it all more fun and interesting. Also very great for the kids ! We could easily have another vacation here, the kids actually asked for it
Ile of rest in the suburb of Stockholm. Nice place with all the comfort you need. We used the bikes for a tour to Hellasgard and once to the city center. Otherwise we went by metro which is quite easy. An adress to recommend!
A most pleasant environment, next to the woods and at the same time very near the city centre (10min by T-banen). Nice house, very clean and well appointed. We could use the bikes as well. Nils, the host was very forthcoming en helpful. And a nice chap to have a chat with, even in Skånsk :).
Very recommendable. We'll be back!
My two daughters (13 years old) and I spent 6 nights at Nils' house.
We would really like to recommend this place to anybody who likes to visit Stockholm!
The house is very close to public transport(5-7 min. to the metrostation) and there is a supermarket on this way.
Just behind the house the forest starts with many kilometers of joggingtracks (even with light in the dark hours).The surrounding of the house was very beautiful and quiet.
Nils was always very helpful with any kind of questions.
We could use his kitchen for cooking dinner and eat there.
One day we walked through the forest to Hellasgården and there we could hire skates for skating on the lake. That was really nice! And at the same place we also went to the sauna and took a short bath afterwards in the lake(+1°C).
As we where travelling by train we were also very happy to have the opportunity to use the washing machine.
And on our last day we could even try the new shower. Very convenient.
Our room was also very nice with enough space.
It was a very pleasant stay and we would definitely stay there again.
Thanks a lot Nils and many greetings form Maike and the girls.
A very nice room in a quiet area on the edge of a forest, yet only around a 5 minutes walk from the metro to the city. Breakfast was included, we could do it just the moment we liked and we could choose the breakfast ourselves in the supermarket. The host was very friendly, but we only saw him upon arrival, he was away during our stay.
Nils is so nice and colaborating host! The place is so beautifull in the forest, but you walk few minutes and you have the underground. Everything was perfect, the bedroom, the breakfast... We will come back four sure to Nils house!
Our trip to Stockholm was amazing. Nils was very welcoming and friendly. The house is cozy and warm, which invites you to come home after a long and active day. All facilities needed are available; tv, good shower and bath, nice comfy kitchen and a comfortable bed.
We enjoyed walking in the closeby national park with its beautiful lakes and forests. Also Stockholm city provides many different views and subcultures - each island gives a different experience. We especially loved Sodermalm.
Thank you Nils, for your hospitality and pleasants chats :)

It's when your fucking a girl from behind when she is on all fours. Then you stick a hot dog in her ass at the same time pulling your penis out of her vagina, then cramming your penis down her throat. She will instinctively gag thus shooting the hot dog out of her ass into the awaiting hot dog bun.
While having sex with my girlfriend I became hungry. Soon she thougt she was being DP'd. To her suprise she was just used as a Ball Park Betty Rump Roaster.
