Forgot to post this on here. I've just been putting this in a thread on my 501st garrison's forum.
Anyway, this is a project that started around June last year.
I'm a big fan of spaghetti westerns and sci fi. Boba Fett is one of my favourite characters because there's something very cowboy about him.
So I came up with this design:
I have never done a technical costume before. I'm more experienced with sewing, costumes that only require sewing take about a week to make.
That's why this one took so long. It was alot of relying on other people to provide or work on parts.
My friends supplied the helmet and the jetpack that I painted and the armour.
Everything else I already owned except for the vest and the kama. You wouldn't believe how hard it is to come by purple leather.
So here are the most current images of the costume. I forgot to put on my Wookiee braid and scarf because it's freaking hot in Australia right now and I just wanted to get the photos taken.
All I have to do now is buy a balaclava, install the visor and track down some gauntlets. Anyone got any suggestions?
I'm quite pleased with how much the costume looks like the original design. Usually bringing something from 2 dimensions to 3 requires a bit of translation.
This costume so far is cheaper than my approved Asajj Ventress costume strangely enough.
But that's because I essentially had to make that costume three times to get it right. It was a huge learning curve for me.
A $400 learning curve.
So by the time I got to my Mandalorian I was more experienced.
The leather was $40
The jetpack was $100
The helmet and armour were free
And like I said , everything else was just sitting in the wardrobe.

Video: Bachmann zaps heckler over maternity care
posted at 1:36 pm on August 28, 2009 by Ed Morrissey
Courtesy of The College Politico, who captures Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-MN)'s quick-witted reply to a heckler at her contentious town-hall forum on health care. Bachmann held up a stack of headlines about the health-care crisis in the UK, especially a report about how 4,000 women had to give birth in corridors due to a resource shortage in the NHS. When the heckler tries to disrupt her, Bachmann offers her version of Complete Moral Authority:
"I've given birth here probably more times than you, sir."
I'd say. She has given birth to five children, and a home to 23 foster children. It's hard to argue against her on maternity-care expertise.
It's even more difficult to dismiss the report Bachmann wanted to highlight:
The lives of mothers and babies are being put at risk as births in locations ranging from lifts to toilets – even a caravan – went up 15 per cent last year to almost 4,000.
Health chiefs admit a lack of maternity beds is partly to blame for the crisis, with hundreds of women in labour being turned away from hospitals because they are full.
Latest figures show that over the past two years there were at least:
* 63 births in ambulances and 608 in transit to hospitals;
* 117 births in A&E departments, four in minor injury units and two in medical assessment areas;
* 115 births on other hospital wards and 36 in other unspecified areas including corridors;
* 399 in parts of maternity units other than labour beds, including postnatal and antenatal wards and reception areas.
Additionally, overstretched maternity units shut their doors to any more women in labour on 553 occasions last year.
On top of that, an NHS patient-advocacy group's study shows that more than a million NHS patients received "appalling care" from the government-run health-care system:
The charity has disclosed a horrifying catalogue of elderly people left in pain, in soiled bed clothes, denied adequate food and drink, and suffering from repeatedly cancelled operations, missed diagnoses and dismissive staff.
The Patients Association said the dossier proves that while the scale of the scandal at Mid-Staffordshire NHS Foundation Trust – where up to 1,200 people died through failings in urgent care – was a one off, there are repeated examples they have uncovered of the same appalling standards throughout the NHS.
While the criticisms cover all aspects of hospital care, the treatment and attitude of nurses stands out as a repeated theme across almost all of the cases.
Update: Fixed the quote.

Hall of Fame to honor Tommy John and his surgeon, Dr. Frank Jobe
By Jay Jaffe
Dr. Frank Jobe changed baseball for the better. In 1974, the orthopedic surgeon pioneered a method of replacing the damaged ulnar collateral ligament of a pitcher whose career might have otherwise been over by grafting a tendon from the wrist of his non-throwing arm. After an arduous 18-month rehab, that pitcher not only returned to the majors, but won more games and threw more innings after the surgery (164 and 2,544 2/3, respectively) than before (124 and 2,165 2/3); in his first five years back, he placed in the top four in three Cy Young votes. That pitcher, of course, was Tommy John, and the procedure pioneered by Jobe quickly became known as Tommy John surgery.
Since then, the careers of hundreds of ballplayers have been saved by the procedure; in November, the Beyond the Boxscore website tallied the names of 488 players who had undergone TJS, and now the list is over 500. The MLB Depth Charts site lists over 60 players on 40-man rosters who have undergone the surgery sometime since late 2010. The procedure has become so routine that teams can plan their rosters around it, knowing that it takes around a year to recover, and that there's a strong likelihood a pitcher will regain his lost effectiveness.
I'm among the many who have suggested that Jobe and John deserved to be honored by Cooperstown in some form, and nearly 40 years after the landmark procedure, it appears that we're going to get our wish. On Thursday, the National Baseball Hall of Fame announced that it will honor the pair on Saturday, July 27, at the awards presentation during the Hall of Fame Weekend in Cooperstown. "The ground-breaking work of Dr. Frank Jobe to conceptualize, develop, refine and make main stream Tommy John Surgery, a complex elbow procedure that has furthered the careers of hundreds of ballplayers, is a testament to the positive role of medicine in our game's growth," said Hall president Jeff Idelson in the announcement.
The honors will accompany the annual presentation of the J.G. Taylor Spink and Ford C. Frick Awards, which this year will go to writer Paul Hagen and the late broadcaster Tom Cheek, respectively. Also receiving special recognition along with Jobe and John is Thomas Tull, the founder and CEO of Legendary Pictures, whose forthcoming movie 42 will pay tribute to Jackie Robinson.
Over the course of a 26-year major league career that ran from 1964 through 1989 (when he was 46 years old), John built a resume worthy of Hall of Fame consideration even apart from the surgery. He notched 288 wins and four All-Star appearances, not to mention the aforementioned Cy Young placements within a five-year span in which he helped the Dodgers and Yankees to four postseason appearances and three pennants. His total of 4,710 1/3 innings ranks 20th all-time, and he's 26th in both wins and shutouts (46). Alas, he never led his leagues in any of the big three categories (wins, ERA or strikeouts), and in 15 years on the Hall of Fame ballot, he never received more than 31.7 percent of the vote from the BBWAA. While the early iterations of my JAWS system showed him to be slightly above the standard for enshrined starters, more recent iterations put him farther away. In the newest Baseball-Reference.com set, his 56.3 career WAR, 32.3 peak WAR and 44.3 JAWS are all well below the standards for the average enshrined pitcher (68.1 career, 47.7 peak, 57.9 JAWS). He ranks 84th among starters in JAWS, just below the much higher-peaking Sandy Koufax but above Whitey Ford and Dizzy Dean, with more recent pitchers like Tim Hudson, CC Sabathia and Andy Pettitte ranking in the vicinity but likely to surpass him soon. It's probably asking a bit much to apply enough of a bonus to his role in what may be the most important sports medicine procedure in baseball history to give him a bronze plaque, but it's very cool to know that both he and his surgeon will get their day in the sun.

Gadget Geek's Guide to May Gaming
May has been a great month in iOS games, and we've rounded up our favorites.
There's something peaceful, nay, therapeutic about blowing the brains out of a grove of zombies in the light of a warm summer's day. We may discriminate against those who play on their phones while they're in the company of others, but we do like seeing fellow gamers enjoying a pint on the patio while mulling over a game on their iPad. To ensure that you're playing the best, latest iOS games, we've tirelessly tested the best of the best apps that have come out this month to bring you our top three.
Bee Leader (.99)
We were a bit hesitant to put this on our list of "must haves," but this game is addictive. We know that word is used a lot while reviewing gaming apps, but we mean it. Bee Leader is like Yoshi's Story but for your iPhone instead of N64, and about bees instead of dragons. All you have to do is fly around and gather nectar in cool places like shark-infested waters and high in the sky while dodging storm clouds. There's a ton more to the game, but once you get the hang of it, Bee Leader will definitely bump Bejeweled out of the ranking as your go-to game to play while wasting time.
The Sandbox (Free)
Did you like Minecraft? Well now it's back, in two-dimensional form. The Sandbox is not really Minecraft, but it definitely has similar traits to the popular game. The Sandbox is like the MS Paint game no one ever asked for but wouldn't really mind having. You play a god and create your world after you play through a few tutorials to get a handle on what you can do in the game. It may not be something you play day after day, but it does keep your attention when you're feeling godlike.
N.O.V.A. 3 – Near Orbit Vanguard Alliance (6.99)
If we were to rank our excitement over this game, it would be equal to that for the movie Prometheus. N.O.V.A. 3 is on a whole other level when it comes to iOS graphics, and the story bleeds well into the gameplay, unlike many other FPS games. You're able to run and shoot your way through 10 levels that take place across the galaxy and are also able to drive vehicles, which was a fun surprise to see from an FPS game designed for iOS. You can also join 12-player battles in up to six multiplayer modes (Capture the Point, Free-for-All and other generic modes) on six different maps. The best part is that while you're in multiplayer you can hop into the same vehicle with another player so you can cover more ground.
We loved N.O.V.A. 3, and know you will too, we're giving away five free codes on our Twitter page @playboydotcom! All you have to do is retweet the link to the article and you're entered.

Endangered mountain gorillas are close biological cousins to humans. Over the past decade, people have made an extra effort to help their fellow primates. And now, the results are proving to be positive. According to new information released by the Uganda Wildlife Authority and World Wildlife Fund (WWF), the total world population of mountain gorillas has risen in the last two years from 786 to 880. While mountain gorillas still remain an endangered species, this increase is largely thanks to the actions of conservationists. "Mountain gorillas are the only great ape experiencing a population increase," said David Greer, WWF's African Great Ape Program Manager. "This is largely due to intensive conservation efforts and successful community engagement."
Strength in Numbers
In 2000, the total population of mountain gorillas was only 320 individuals. The low number was a result of illegal hunting, habitat loss, and disease. Since then, the number has risen, but slowly.
Mountain gorillas live in Rwanda, Uganda, and Democratic Republic of Congo—all countries in central Africa. To ensure more protection and care, nearly half of the existing population lives in a national park. Bwindi Impenetrable National Park, located in the northern part of Rwanda, is home to 400 mountain gorillas. They have formed 36 social groups and are led by 16 male gorillas. Ten of these groups have become used to human presence from research and tourism.
Family Ties
Mountain gorillas are highly social creatures that live in a community environment. Typically, mountain gorillas live in a group of about 30 individuals. The leader is a dominant older male who organizes the group for hunting and nesting. This male can weigh up to 500 pounds and stand nearly 6 feet tall. Often he will have silver hair on his back, marking his senior age and dominance within the group. Like any community, gorillas depend on one another. Now, they are depending on humans to help keep them alive.

Tim Tebow, quarterback for the New York Jets, has become one of the biggest quarterbacks in the league after bulking up to 250 pounds in the offseason. According to Tebow, his decision to add weight was so that he could be bigger and stronger to take hits from the opposing team. This decision, however, has left many people scratching their heads. Tebow, they argue, should be working on throwing mechanics and accuracy instead of increasing strength and size, because this will only hinder his precision and flexibility.
What makes a good athlete?
There are many factors that go into any athletic performance, including that of a professional quarterback. In most sports, form fits function. In other words, the best performers you see in a given sport possess the precise combination of genetics and training to optimally perform. It is no coincidence, for example, that most elite male marathoners weigh less than 140 pounds or that most NFL (and even college) lineman are over 300 lbs. In addition to the right physical attributes, athletes must also possess things like speed, power, agility and quickness, which are honed through training. And finally, elite athletes must also posses the necessary sport-specific skills and mental focus to succeed.
What makes a good quarterback?
In recent years, height has become a preferred quality among NFL quarterbacks. Today, most quarterbacks are taller than 6 feet, which allows them to see over the oncoming defense and avoid having their passes blocked. One notable exception is New Orleans Saints quarterback Drew Brees, who has been successful, in part, by compensating for his shorter stature with a deeper fade back and high release point. Another quality to look for in a quarterback is the ability to pass the ball quickly and accurately. In the training sciences, this is referred to as reactivity or readiness. Many trainers of professional athletes now combine reactivity drills with agility and mobility. The more specific the training, the better the performance will be in that situation. This is known as the SAID principle: specific adaptation to imposed demands.
So how can Tebow's big size be an asset? As the article mentions, other big quarterbacks such as Daunte Culpepper, JaMarcus Russell and Byron Leftwich have not performed that well due to inaccuracy in passing and a lack of flexibility. Flexibility is compromised with strength and vice versa, and while many athletes can compensate the biomechanics for limited flexibility, sooner or later an injury will likely occur. When a quarterback is also a good running back, however, increased size can have its advantages, but it can also set up the quarterback to take some season- or even career-ending hits. Being able to dodge oncoming rushers (agility) is a critical skill in football, and the NFL is full of fast, strong linebackers and linemen who train specifically to gain speed and agility. Even though the quarterback will not be able to out-power the rushers, it is more difficult to take down a bigger, stronger man. It is especially hard to take down a quarterback who is strong, fast and knows how to evade the rushing defense. Most top quarterbacks in the NFL possess all of these assets.
Tebow should realize that no coach will put him in if he can't fulfill his primary role of completing passes with accuracy and a short release time. Functional training, focusing on perfecting his flexibility, accuracy, throwing biomechanics, agility and mobility, would serve him best in his quest to become a quarterback who not only runs well, but also throws well. Tebow clearly has the work ethic—now he just needs to focus that work in the areas that will serve him best. Train smarter and harder!

I lost a large cutout to SHB . Again.
I pulled a couple of frames this AM and the **** things were in the comb. I decided to try a new approach to getting rid of them and stuck the comb in a large plastic bag. I took a Propane torch and filled the bag with Propane gas and sealed the bag. About two hours later the beetles were still crawling around just as happy as they could be.
Since Propane is a little hazardous to handle I thought, Why not try carbon monoxide? So I took the bag and started up the van. I pushed all the air out of the bag and stuck it over the tailpipe and filled it up, sealed it and thought "Die you suckers".
It did not work the away I thought it would. BUT IT DID WORK.
Almost immediately the larva came out of the cavities of the comb and started crawling around and the beetles went bananas also. Where I thought there would be 30 or 40 beetle at the most, there were over a 100 and the larva were five times that. What a mess.
Four hours later the beetles started to die. That is not a misprint , 4 hours in 100% carbon monoxide. At six hours the beetles were dead and the larva were starting to die. At eight + hours the last of the larva quit moving.
WHAT I DON'T KNOW is the effect on uncapped brood. Capped brood and honey could be brushed off and then would be ready to return to the hive so the bees could clean them up.
If you have beetles (and everybody does) a large, strong hive can control the beetles but if you only have one colony and it swarms of the queen gets old, the beetles will overrun the hive is a couple of days. So you could take every other frame out of a box, brush off all the bees and put it in a plastic bag (Hefty bags seal tighter than ziplock ones)and gas the whole frame overnight. The next day take out the remaining frames and replace the clean ones.
The carbon monoxide dissipates as soon as you open the bag so nothing goes into the hive. There is no pesticide involved and the bees will clean up any debris that you don't knock off the comb.
It's also cheap. It just takes time for the sucker to die. They are very hard to kill.
If someone tries it, please post the results.

The best young pitcher in baseball, currently 4-0 with a 1.37 earned run average. Recently optioned to Triple-A Salt Lake because Bill Stoneman and Mike Scioscia are dumbfucks who don't know shit about baseball and think sending down the only consistently good pitcher on the staff will somehow help their last place team. It makes Angel fans sick.
Hey look Jered Weaver piched 7 more shutout innings; let's definitely send him back to the minors.

After talking with Steelblitz late last week, I thought I would give this a try. I disassembled the $18 Radioshack mini-amp. Mounted the speaker onto a 2" pipe that had been notched to fit down into the jet pack. The sound comes out throught the middle vent on my MLC arena pack.
Made a plastic platform to mount the amp. I had to glue in a little bit of pipe in the middle to raise the amp up. It won't sit flush with all the solder connections and such. I used CA glue on everything.
Cut the inside lip of the JP and a small notch on the backplate to access the on/off of the amp without removing the 4 screws. It's flush with the backplate and doesn't stick out. I had to open the left strap hole ever so slightly to get the mic plug through. Did the same to the Cruzer backplate, and you can't even see it. The only reason I would need to open the JP was to change the 9v battery.
As far as dressing. The mic has to go through the backplate before the strap. connection will be made outside the vest, between the vest and the backplate.
What do you think? The volume is decent, I've always been heard just fine through my helmet. This will help add a touch more volume.

The Diceman boreth
While coverage of the Red Sox is always excessive (except for the sweet deals they get from the politicians, but whatever), the arrival of Daisuke Matsuzaka will make things even worse than usual. Matsuzaka is a three-fer for the local press: he's a talented pitcher who could carry Boston to the World Series; he hails from a culture most Americans still view as weird/exotic; and he's got a hot wife. (Kudos to the Herald's Track Girls, who are already covering the latter subject with aplomb.)
Look for the following angles in Matsuzaka coverage next year: stories on his pitching performance; stories on his adjustment to American culture; stories on the cultural and technical differences between Japanese and American baseball; stories on how the Japanese media are covering Matsuzaka's Red Sox tenure; stories on how the Red Sox are catering to Japanese fans; stories on Matsuzaka's home; stories on Tomoyo Shibata, a/k/a Mrs. Matsuzaka, as she hangs out with other players' wives, goes shopping, looks for decent sushi, etc.; stories on Matsuzaka's interpreter. If we're really lucky, WEEI's Dennis & Callahan will trot out some nasty anti-Japanese slur after a poor Matsuzaka performance, thereby subjecting us to stories on the incident in question; stories on anti-Japanese bias in the US; stories on how the Japanese media is covering the incident in question; etc. All in all, serious Matsuzaka fatigue should set in by mid June.
Moderately risky prediction: the Track Girls create and exacerbate a nasty feud between Shibata and Shonda Schilling.
Patrick's hard landing
If Kerry Healey were governor-elect right now, she'd be facing intense scrutiny too. But Deval Patrick's carefully cultivated image as a political superhero — one capable of returning government to the people, changing the culture on Beacon Hill, and whipping up a mean scallop risotto in his spare time — will give an extra edge to the quest for discrepancies between the real and the ideal. Patrick's much-discussed speech at the Massachusetts Newspaper Publishers Association, in which he urged the media to lay aside its cynicism, was a pre-emptive salvo in this pending war. The mainstream press isn't his only problem, however; Patrick's staunch supporters are also capable of noting that his actions don't always match his lofty rhetoric. ("No, I really do not like the fact that wealthy individuals and corporate sponsors are being asked to kick in $50,000 a piece for the big proposed inaugural bash," Charley Blandy of the pro-Patrick blog Blue Mass Group wrote recently. "We should have a damn good party. It should be statewide. It should be as inclusive as possible. It just shouldn't be paid for in $50,000 chunks by those who doubtless have business before the state.") Factor in inevitable tussling with Senate president Robert Travaglini and House Speaker Sal DiMasi, and Patrick may discover that governing makes campaigning look easy.
Moderately risky prediction: at one of Patrick's first press conferences as governor, WBZ political analyst Jon Keller is piqued when Patrick won't let him ask the first question. "Pipe down, Jon," Patrick says. "Let someone else go first for a change!" Keller responds by becoming Patrick's scourge for the next two years.

Kevin "Coach" Collins, FloydReports.com
In 1954 a genius with a sharp eye for talent advised a young Elvis Presley, "You ain't goin' nowhere, Son. You ought to go back to drivin' a truck."
Everyday we are bombarded with news of shocked "experts" having to once again admit they were wrong. In most cases this hapless bunch of Charlie Browns isn't any more expert than the man who dismissed Presley. So we don't lose sight of their embarrassing claptrap, here are a few "expert" predictions we have been insulted with recently.
In spite of "expert" sentiment to the contrary, America's manufacturing sector has slowed "more than expected" and in fact has fallen to September 2009 levels. The geniuses at the Institute of Supply Management (ISM) didn't just miss this one their expectation was barely in the same area code. The ISM expected its growth index would fall 2.7, not the actual 6.9 points it tumbled.
The 38,000 new private sector jobs added in May provide another example of surprised "experts" having to stammer out an explanation of how they could be so wrong.
In May private sector companies in the U.S. added fewer workers than forecast by….

Miami's Mediterranean Roots: Española Way
Española Way Suites • Miami Beach, FL
Escape Kit

- Welcome Amenity and a Bottle of Champagne
- Combine Vouchers to Stay Up to Ten Nights
The Destination
From its colorful culture and beach-party attitude, Miami—deemed the "Cruise Capital of the World" as well as a top spring-breaker spot—is anything but low-key. But tucked away down side streets lies a very different city, one in which palm trees sway to a Bohemian beat and cafes brim with laid-back travelers. A former artists' colony in the 1920s, the quaint avenue of Española Way buzzes with charming boutiques, cozy cafes, and artists lofts. Here the wide, tree-lined street captures the heart of Miami's Mediterranean roots in one picturesque village. Named the Best Block in South Florida by the Miami Herald, this South Beach street reveals the softer side of Miami.
The Digs
In the heart of this vibrant village is Española Way Suites, a historic building modeled after the pied-à-terres of San Sebastián in the Spanish Mediterranean. Suites overlook all the action of colorful Española Way. Fully equipped with a kitchen, living room, flat-screen TV, and complimentary Internet access, your accommodations provide the perfect place to rejuvenate at your own pace. Leave your private respite for a stroll to South Beach for an afternoon of sun-kissed bliss. Located only two blocks away, this sandy playground offers an array of activities for fun in the sun with beach volleyball, tennis, biking, and JetSkiing.
The Diversions
• Fill up on Latin-infused fare at locales like Havana 1957 and Oh Mexico
• Get a taste of the Bohemian boutiques of Española Way at Serene Lifestyle
• Strike a yogi pose at Synergy Yoga
• Move to some hot Latin beats at Tantra Lounge
"There's a bohemian feel to this street lined with Mediterranean-revival buildings constructed in 1925... Miami Beach's trademark pink sidewalks have been widened to accommodate sidewalk cafés and shops selling imaginative clothing, jewelry, and art."-- Fodors.com

Hello, my name is Sarah.
I am a student at Loughborough University studying Design with Engineering Materials and my final year design project is titled "A Beehive for the 21st Century".
I would be grateful if you could spare a couple of minutes of your time to complete a questionnaire I have produced with the aim of obtaining some quality data from those who interact with this product frequently.
The questionnaire is anonymous and the results will be used for nothing other than helping me define an area of the hive I feel can be improved, though results of the project can be made available to participants upon request. There are 10 short questions and an opportunity for you to suggest any ways in which you feel the hive could be improved. To access the questionnaire, just follow the link below:
Your experience and knowledge will greatly assist me in the completion of this project, and will hopefully lead to a feasible solution to one or more of the many problems encountered in the act of beekeeping.
Thank you in advance.

It's like the difference between building a piece of furniture with your hands and then having someone else spray paint it. The money those two people get is vastly divided.
I did already concede that you might be just fine and close to your initial estimate. I just don't want people throwing numbers out there like video game companies pay employees out the wazoo. Getting a job in that field is mostly reserving yourself to a life of minimal salary to do something you love.

WoW having more subs than SWTOR is the same thing as Justin Bieber having more youtube plays than Tupac. Just because its more popular doesn't mean its good.
Warcraft Lore has gone from one of the most vast and interesting stories in all of gaming to a bad Thrall Fanfic by Chris Metzen.

But yeah, speculation is speculation is speculation. Without solid numbers everyone's guess at the cost value is false. While you can debate whether the game was successful or not, I think we can all agree that they game was not as successful as they had hoped for.
But I guess you will keep ignoring intelligent debate on the subject claiming you are right simply because no one can prove any number without EA releasing all financial documents for the past 7 years.
I just don't even know... I think it's fair to say we have gone WAY off topic and that there isn't much left to discuss on the topic

National budget cuts would impact Yellowstone, affect local economy
BOZEMAN, Mont. - Folks at Yellowstone National Park are planning for the possibility of $1.75 million in proposed budget cuts. They say their hope is that Congress makes a deal before the cuts are set to go into effect but they've looked at their operations between March and September and identified ways to make changes they say will hopefully minimize impacts on visitors, staff and the park itself.
According to the Coalition of National Park Service retirees, the cuts could affect over 78,000 visitors and reduce park revenue by more than $150,000. The Coalition says cuts may mean the park delays hiring or hires fewer seasonal employees, extends unpaid furloughs for workers and reduces operating expenses.
Yellowstone National Park officials tell NBC Montana that if they see a budget reduction like the one that's proposed, it will have an impact their on services. They say they looked at their operations for the rest of the fiscal year and came up ways they could make changes.
"In preparing that draft plan, our goal was to minimize any impacts that we might have on the quality of our visitor services on the protection of this special place and minimize the impacts on our staff," says Yellowstone National Park Spokesperson Al Nash.
Nash says the park hopes the cuts won't have to take effect but if they do those with the Coalition of National Park Service Retirees say it could mean a two to three-week delay in access to most entrances.
We sat down with Headwaters Economics Policy Director Chris Mehl to find out what this could mean for our economy. He says Yellowstone is a huge economic driver for Bozeman, Jackson and Cody, especially on an annual basis.
"Considering the timing, it's probably the least bad news that you're going to have. Easier for me to say than a concessionaire in Cody, Wyoming," says Mehl.
Mehl says visitors are the main economic driver for many gateway communities, spending money at restaurants, hotels and gas stations and with fewer visitors.
"You're no longer having those jobs supported if they're not spending, the companies in Wyoming not hiring in April, they delay it or they don't have as many for the whole year," says Mehl.
But there's more. He says uncertainty of how long the delay could last might deter folks looking to make travel arrangements.
"How many will cancel entirely? How many won't come now? How many will delay? We don't know," says Mehl.
Folks with Bozeman Yellowstone International Airport says Yellowstone National Park is one of its main pillars and an impact on Yellowstone means an impact on the airport.
"It's before the peak season when we get into the June timeframe, then it really matters, but any impact in May is an impact in a slow month in the first place," says airport director Brian Sprenger.
Sprenger says a decrease in visitors may effect how airlines look at them, causing a more long-term effect.
"They're looking at their entire system and when they look at an individual market like Bozeman and they look at it for next year. They'll look at what happened this year and so, if we have a poor showing this year, it could impact next year's traffic, as well," says Sprenger.
It's not just cuts for the National Park Service that have Sprenger worried. He says it's the cumulative effect of a number of government agencies the airport works with, from TSA to the National Weather Service.
"It's the unknown. If we know what's going to happen, we can adjust accordingly," says Sprenger.
At the end of the day, Sprenger says it all comes down to the customer and if it affects customers, he says the airport doesn't like it any more than they do.

This guy deserves his own thread.
What a great, emotional showing from him last night.
Enjoy watching him in his last appearance, you will never see another player or PERSON like him again.
These are the moments you remember and tell your kids one day, I saw the great Mariano Rivera.
Fortunately for me, I have seen many Mo saves in person.
Jeter, you are up next. I think 2014 is probably his last go at it.
Go Yankees.
Where do you guys think Mo ranks in baseball lore?


text: I think at one time there was a post here, or the Northwest site on bunkers, there were several avalible options for sure. It was pretty interesting some of the set ups they had. Even some log and earthan structures were in there too. Pretty cool, just to bad we have to consider these things though. The way things are now it makes me wounder if maybe I should have considered the old S.A.C. sight I saw for sale back in the late 70's. It was a 25 acre peice and all in/on it, genarators complete comercial type kitchen and the whole works, completley self contained facility, just early 60's vintage. If I remember it went for something like 35000 or something and eventually ended up as part of the Adirondack Park with surface the traces baried and planted over. Barley could put a concrete box in the south 40 no less set it up, for that now. And especally a facility like that one, the old man took me there once years ago. He used to do the comunications systems for the State of NY in the upstate area and some of there main stuff was there so we had access to it. It was pretty neat and spooky all at the same time, don't think I'd like that life style if i had my choice.

We can't seem to get away from the constant stream of new beauty products out there that promise this, that and the other, yet we hear very little about what we shouldn't be doing in terms of beauty. We've put together a list of beauty no-nos to save you from investing pointless time and money into beauty steps that make you look older. Stay looking youthful and beautiful by avoiding these mistakes
We all love a subtle flush of just-pinched pink on our cheeks to keep us looking fresh, but don't apply it to the apples of your cheeks. As we age, the skin on our cheeks tends to sag - and what quicker way to make you look older than to highlight this? Instead, focus on your cheekbones. Sweep blusher up towards your temples to create the illusion of a thinner face and more defined cheekbones.
Yes, you look great with that gleaming tan and yes, it sure does make your teeth look whiter - but is it really worth the risk of skin cancer and ageing skin? We all know the risks associated with sunbeds and sunbathing, but it really is a huge beauty blunder to avoid if you'd like to stay looking youthful.
Even if you're only venturing into the garden to hang your washing out, make sure you apply sunblock. If you're going for the bronzed goddess look, get it out of a bottle.
Powder is great for setting makeup, adding light coverage and helping with oily skin. The problem is though, the dusty quality of loose powder dries out your skin and highlights any fine lines, a recipe for making you look instantly older. Opt for pressed powder instead; this will still blot away oil and provide light coverage, but you're less likely to apply too much.
Don't channel your inner goth if you want to look younger. As we age, our lips tend to lose some of that youthful plumpness that we used to brighten with a pop of colour when we were younger. Dark colours accentuate thinner lips and can add years to how old you look. Opt for flattering hues such as pretty pinks and muted berry colours instead.
If your brows are sparse, giving them a little TLC can take years off your age. Use a brow pencil, no more than one shade darker than your natural brow colour, to gently fill in any gaps. If you'd prefer a softer look, use a powder and an angled brush. This is a fail-proof way to take years off your age.
If your skin looks like it's heading south, a long hairstyle will only accentuate this, particularly if your hair is limp and lifeless. Opt for an angled style that creates shape and volume around your face - layers are an excellent way to achieve this look. We aren't suggesting that you start chopping your hair into a bob if you'd like to keep it long, but make sure you add definition around the face with some layers if you are keeping it long.
We all know prolonged periods of stress are bad for our looks, but rarely do we take this on board and do anything about it. Stress prevention is the golden rule for a youthful you, and while it's good to feel stress under certain situations where you need to take action, too much can seriously age you. What better excuse to treat yourself to a massage.
If you thought primer was only used for those odd DIY jobs around the house, think again. Primer works miracles with older skin, as it helps to smooth out any lines you have on your face. It also provides a good surface for makeup application. This means your makeup will have something to hold on to and so, by the end of the day, you won't look as smudged and abstract as a Picasso work.
Nothing screams "older lady" like dry, lacklustre skin. Invest in a good moisturiser that is suited to your skin type and use it as part of your morning and evening skincare routine to keep skin from looking dry and wrinkly. Healthy, hydrated skin is the most important step to keeping you looking beautiful, youthful and fresh as a daisy.
Once a woman gets to a certain age, glitzy eye makeup becomes a no-no. Anything too glam and shimmery around your eyes will draw attention to those laugh lines and powdered shadows will sit within your crinkles. If you've managed to reach your 40th birthday (we hope you partied like a wild thing) you might also find your eyelids have become slacker. Plain, light, matte shadows will help create a less droopy look and make your eyes look larger and more youthful.

Really 17? (Age scandal?)
ETA My Top 10 Wish List:
1, 2, 3, - Ando, Asada, Kim. I just hope it's a good competition and that all three are great.
4 - Murakami. Love this kid. I hope she caps off her wonderful first senior season with a great placement here.
5 - Czisny
6 & 7 - Flatt and Lepisto - not super likely for Lepisto but I'd love to see it, she's a beautiful all-around skater. Rachael, do the 3/3, honey. Go for broke in the FP (you need it) and climb those stairs.
8 - Korpi or Makarova (I hope it's not just because they're both beautiful platinum blondes that they seem kind of similar to me)
9 - Kostner
10 - Lee - go Cheltzie!

Because Yuna herself has confirmed countless times now that she will definitely compete, and has been training very hard for it.
Unless you can explain your "assumption", I am thinking you are either living in a cave or are in complete denial
I just don't think she will. Sorry. It has nothing to with how I feel about her (I like her, for the most part).
Of course a skater will say she's training, it keeps her in the press. See also Kwan, Michelle.
The steps of gladness to Paradise (top of the podium):
I'll build a stairway to Paradise
With a new step ev'ry day !
I'm gonna get there at any price;
Stand aside, I'm on my way !
I've got the blues
And up above it's so fair.
Shoes ! Go on and carry me there !
I'll build a stairway to Paradise
With a new step ev'ry day.
TV or IN please show us these comps. I haven't seen Japanese Nationals, but I know that Miki is a competitive. Mao is vulnerable, imo.
Looking forward to a good show of competition, hoping that Yuna makes and appearance.
Will the American gals add up to 13? I think they can, so this is worth watching as well.

Hi. I am working on this design for a new hive stand I want to build and need some advice on how to put it together so it will be sufficient to bear the weight.
This is what I've got so far, what I'm going for basically:
It occurred to me after I scanned the drawing that the stringers would actually need to be turned so the 2" side is up, for strength. But then I am not sure how to fix them to the cross pieces... I guess I could use landscape timbers instead. Those are 8', I think. The cross pieces I will probably secure to the 4x4 legs with deck bolts.
I'd like to use some 10' 2x4s I have, hoping this would be enough to hold 5 hives. But I can go with 8' (4 hives) if that would work out better. I really don't have enough construction experience to be sure what would bear the weight. (Only built stuff like chicken coops, dog houses, etc. before.)
I like this guy's hive stands that I saw on this Youtube video. His are on 4x4s and he paints the legs with a vaseline/baby oil mixture to keep the ants down. (Or I might use tanglefoot.) Except I wanted a bench instead of just a single hive stand.
So any thoughts on this, improvements on the design? I don't want to go on a wish and a prayer and have the whole thing topple over on me! Thanks.

FA stands for Football Association. In theory they are responsible for sorting out any problems in the English game that might occur, but in practice do very little about them when they do occur. Also they approved Wimbledon FC move to Milton Keynes (though they of course would deny this). Therefore they appointed a 3 man commission that made the decision for them. The commissions report then gave a load of reasons (which are false) of why the club would be better of in Milton Keynes. 1 of these was claiming that a new club such as Wimbledon Town would not be in the wider interests of football.

well put wildbranch
camero does not understand the amount of corn and beans that are being cultivated here in Southern MN, Iowa, Nd, Sd, and all these other states.
there is by far more corn and beans then anything else. banging out thousands of bee hives that were strong 2 weeks prior is not because of a drought. And actually we had ample moisture in our area compared to some others.

New rebuild plans for Royal Gorge Bridge & Park
City council approved new plans
CAÑON CITY, Colorado - With the Royal Gorge as a prime tourist attraction, Cañon City council members are hoping to rebuild that bridge and park to prosperity. City council approved a revised plan Monday night that may help.
Although this is good news for the city, business owners are still worried.
Royal Gorge Bridge & Park staff has been working diligently designing plans to reopen Cañon City's main attraction.
"It's an economic impact on the Royal Gorge region of about $30 million a year," said Royal Gorge Bridge & Park Vice President and General Manager Mark Bandera.
Royal Gorge Bridge & Park has been closed since this summer's fire tore through the area. The town has seen a ripple effect.
"There's a lot of businesses that are failing in Cañon City," said Royal View Campground owner Todd Denius.
In hopes of turning the economy around, Bridge & Park designed a different plan for a new visitor's center.
Royal Gorge Bridge & Park revised plans after realizing the original didn't fit the budget.
"We had to make some significant changes," said Bandera.
Those changes include smaller buildings from the original proposal. It's something business owners like Denius worry will take too long.
"I would like to have a hard date to give to my customers and I'm sure other businesses would in the area also so that we could tell customers that we will have some opening ability for you to visit the bridge," said Denius.
When asked, Bridge & Park predicted the bridge will open again by mid-summer. That's disappointing news for Cañon City businesses, but Bandera says that may be the worst case scenario.
Bridge & Park leaders also announced a proposal for a park amphitheater to attract big name concerts. Those designs are still in the works.
Now that city council has approved those plans, the construction company can put together a schedule. So we should have a better idea of how long it will take to reopen the bridge and park in a couple of days.

on another thread, deknow posts:
"If one believes that the microbial symbionts that the bees rely on should remain as undamaged as possible (for long term practical reasons), why should one not buy honey that is produced with that as an outcome of the beekeepers practice? Certainly no one disputes the added value of produce that is cultivated in a way that preserves the soil."
dean, you have clearly invested much effort and are more well read on this subject than most.
have you developed a sense yet for what "as undamaged as possible" is?
can you describe what you mean by "long term practical reasons"?
are any investigators on track to provide us with the answers as to what the changes in microbial symbionts might mean for everyday practical application?
my first thought about the analogy between soil conserving measures and conserving bee microbial symbionts, was that messing up the soil is proven to have far reaching consequences, whereas it is only postulated that alterating the microbial symbionts in the bee hive may (potentially) affect the honey and the bee.
it's not hard to "believe" that it is better not to alter the microflora in the beehive. the question is how much weight to give the potential problems it may cause against the risks to the colony from diseases and pests.
in a perfect world, there would be no need for any intervention that might disrupt the natural order in the hive.
in a less than perfect world, and since we are all exploiting bees, and placing them in an unnatural situation, we might have to weigh this risk/benefit ratio.

Die Hard – A Classic Kid's Movie
A few weeks ago, I shared an Alfred Hitchcock double feature with my father. We watched Rear Window and Psycho, two films I had never seen before, and films he had only seen in bits and pieces. As expected, we both loved the films and in general had a good time watching them. What I didn't expect was for Fogs to ask me to write a post on my experience watching the films with my father, and just watching films with my dad in general. I thought it was a great idea, in fact, it kind of annoys me that I didn't come up with it. So with this, I'm going to explore my past film experiences with my dad, and try to come to some conclusion.


text: Most Eagles fans are stating he willl be released at the end of the season, I know most people on this board will disagree but I watched this guy in Oakland and I know he still has a lot left in the tank. The Eagles have been using him incorrectly, not to mention the entire team is in disarray. WIth Jenkins obviously leaving next year, I think we should sign him. His market value will be low considering his recent struggles with the Eagles and he could come fairly cheap. Rob Ryan would definitely find a way to utilize his strengths and he could provide good depth.

Reviews of this property
I enjoyed the stay at Ewa's apartment very much. It 's located in Oliwa, and the train station to get to Gdansk centre is within walking distance.
Three rooms with beds for up to 6 people, and a nice balcony.
Would definitely come again!
The apartment is located in the Oliwa district of Gdansk - perfect if you're planning to visit the Tri-City of Gdansk, Sopot and Gdynia. Oliwa itself and the surrounding quarters have some noteworthy places such as the cathedral, zoo, President Ronald Reagan Park, Brzezno beach and pier. The apartment has a very good connection to public transportation, especially train and tram (about 5-10 minutes away on foot). The huge shopping centres Galeria Baltycka and Riviera are only a couple of train stops away from Oliwa. The apartment was quite clean and tidy and was a good size for a family of 6 people. Arranging arrival and departure with Ewa was really easy and convenient. She is very helpful and will be more than willing to give you a few tips. Definitely good value for money!
The Apartment was very dirty and worn. Everything was dirty, bathroom/shower, floors, carpets on the floors, we had to go with shoes inside. Cups and glasses we had to wash before use.
Bed clothes were clean. Ewa was a cozy lady
We've been staying at Ewa's place two times by now, and we can nothing but recommend it. The appartment is tidy, presents everything you would need for holidays and it's close to the station, so it's only a matter of minutes to reach the city-center of Gdansk, Sopot or Gdynia.
Ewa is the nicest host thinkable, most ready to help in all kinds of concern and an altogether wonderful person. Whenever we'll be staying in the region of Gdansk her place will surely be our first choice!
Very good place too stay in. if we go back to Poland, I can definitely see myself staying here again
It´s the right appartment for a relaxed stay in Gdansk. We enjoyed it very much! The big balcony was great! A plus factor was also the safe parking place in the yard.
The apartment is furnished and equipped with all necessities. Some everyday items we had not get (coffee filters, toilet paper). The beds could be somewhat better (lumpy sofa beds).
We particularly liked the parking space for the car. The property is protected by a high electrical closable gate. Corresponding to a given key from Ewa on arrival. Ewa itself is very helpful. The communication was in English.
Die Ferienwohnung ist gemütlich und mit allem Nötigen ausgestattet. Manche Dinge des täglichen Bedarfs mussten wir gar nicht besorgen (Kaffeefilter, Klopapier). Die Betten könnten allerdings etwas besser sein (durchgelegene Sofabetten).
Besonders gut hat uns der Stellplatz für das Auto gefallen. Das Grundstück ist durch ein hohes elektrisch schließbares Tor geschützt. Den entsprechenden Schlüssel händigt einem Ewa bei der Ankunft aus. Ewa selbst ist sehr hilfsbereit. Die Verständigung erfolgte auf Englisch.
The stay in Gdansk was very nice. Exploring the Old Town of Gdansk, after Sobot, Kazube and Leba a great experience. Ewa is really nice. The apartment but you have to like.
Der Aufenthalt in Danzig war sehr schön. Ausflüge in die Danziger Altstadt, nach Sobot, Kazube und nach Leba ein tolles Erlebnis. Ewa ist wirklich sehr nett. Die Ferienwohnung jedoch muss man mögen.
Ewa is helpful and friendly host. Nice apartment near the train. Perfect for exploring Tricities area.
Flat: Its a very nice, cheap and clean Flat, where you feel directly comfortable. There is everything in the flat that you need and we very fully satisfied.
The nicest in this flat is the huge balcony where you can sit with 6 people in the sun.
Location: 25 min to the beach by feet and 7 min to Tram.
Owner of flat: Ewa is a nice helpful person. She pick us up at midnight from Trainstation and brought us to McDo. She was all the time very helpful.
See you again!
