Muse has been forced to cancel European shows in Oslo, Stockholm and Malmo because frontman Matt Bellamy has broken two bones in his foot. The band's website says they have "made the difficult decision to cancel these gigs as they feel that they will not be able to do justice to their live show and the fans who have bought tickets with Matt performing on crutches. Muse would like to apologise to all their fans who have tickets to these shows. Refunds will be available from the point of purchase." So far, the remaining dates on the tour are still scheduled to go ahead as planned. Muse has European dates booked through December 19 in France and their North American tour is set to kick off on January 21 in San Diego. The Who has joined the lineup for The Grammy Nominations Concert Live event, which will air December 5 on CBS. The show already includes performances by Maroon 5, fun., Ne-Yo and Luke Bryan, and it will be co-hosted by LL Cool J and Taylor Swift. Along with the performances, nominees in several categories for the Grammy Awards will be announced on the show. The 55th Grammys will air on February 10, 2013.Headphone sales apparently equal big money, as Dr. Dre has topped Forbes' list of the 25 highest-paid musicians in 2012. Dre has an extensive back catalog of music, but his Beats by Dre headphones helped him gross $100 million in pre-tax earnings, according to Forbes. Pink Floyd bassist and singer Roger Waters came in at #2 with earnings of $88 million, and Elton John hit #3 with $80 million. U2 landed at #4 this year with combined earnings of $78 million, and British boy band Take That, who reformed in 2005, rounded out the top five with $69 million. That haul was earned from the band's eight-date stand at London's Wembley Stadium, which became the highest-grossing single stadium tour to date.
One Direction is set to launch their first-ever fragrance in the fall of 2013. The band has partnered with fragrance company Olivann Beauty to create the perfume as well as "ancillary products," Women's Wear Daily reports. The name of the perfume will be revealed in early 2013 before it hits department stores. Meanwhile, 1D is set to begin their massive 2013 world tour in February in Europe before hitting the U.S. in June.After putting out a solo album and doing some one-man shows, guitarist Lindsey Buckingham is ready to turn his focus to working with Fleetwood Mac. The band is expected to announce 2013 tour dates soon, which will likely begin in April. "I'm looking forward to it," Buckingham told Billboard.com. "I get to go out there and try these other things on my own, and the more that defines me as an individual and the more it tends to differ from the Fleetwood Mac experience, then the more I'm able to just let the group thing go where it's gonna go." Buckingham added that he, drummer Mick Fleetwood and bassist John McVie convened earlier this year in his home studio to do some recording, which he's recently shown to singer Stevie Nicks for her input. "We may be able to organize something -- I wouldn't think a whole album, but possibly something before we hit the road or, if not then, possibly something a little more extensive after the tour, depending on what everybody wants to do," he said. "The material is quite good, but we have to get everybody on the same page with that, and we'll see where it goes."The soundtrack for Quentin Tarantino's upcoming western Django Unchained has been unveiled. It includes a combination of old and new songs, such as remix of James Brown's classic "The Payback" featuring a verse from Tupac Shakur. The soundtrack also features brand new music from John Legend and Rick Ross, as well as '60s and '70s tracks from the likes of Jim Croce. The Django Unchained soundtrack will hit stores on December 18, and the movie will be in theaters on December 25. Wilco is bringing back its Solid Sound Music and Arts Festival, which is set for June 2123 at MASS MoCA in North Adams, MA. Wilco will perform two full sets during the three-day festival, in addition to curating the music portion of the lineup. A full list of performers will be unveiled later.

Manslaughter conviction reversed in hunter case
The attorney for the Breezy Point man whose manslaughter conviction was reversed Monday, Aug. 12, by the Minnesota Court of Appeals said Tuesday the prosecution has a 30-day period to appeal the most recent court ruling.
As a result, attorney Robert M. Christensen has advised Kevin McCormick not to comment on the case.
McCormick was released from jail in April when the Court of Appeals agreed to hear issues related to the case. An appeals panel ruled 2-1 Monday the trial court should have acquitted McCormick because the circumstantial evidence was insufficient to sustain McCormick's conviction.
McCormick was found guilty of pulling down a deer stand while Jerry Benedict was in it. The 2010 dispute arose when McCormick spotted a deer stand he believed was on his property. The stand fell during the dispute, with Benedict in it. Benedict died of multiple injuries more than two weeks later.
McCormick's attorney had argued that the stand toppled by accident and that Benedict likely suffered his fatal injuries later that day, in a fall from a second stand.
McCormick was tried in Clearwater County.

In addition to repairing potholes and street lights, collecting and recycling garbage and yard waste, managing stormwater, and maintaining a sanitary sewer system for 16,000 people, the Plymouth Township, Pa., Public Works Department cares for the community's police vehicles. So when Officer Brad Fox was shot and killed a year ago while pursuing a gunman, employees wanted to honor their fallen co-worker.
"A member of our family died that day," says public works director Christopher Loschiavo.
Ed Lowery and Jim Schultz visited the spot where Fox was killed, a rail embankment above the Schuylkill River Trail, and proposed building a memorial there. With the help and approval of the township council, police department, Montgomery County officials, Peco Energy, and Fox's family, that's what they did.
Many of the costs for materials were donated by local businesses; the rest was funded by public works. The township also approved a resolution that public works will maintain the site in perpetuity.
"This memorial will be forever maintained by us as a reminder of how precious life is and the incredible sacrifices that are made by police officers every day," Loschiavo says. Fox was killed the day before his 35th birthday and left behind a wife and two young children.
"Our team always goes above and beyond," says Loschiavo. "They are individual leaders who have great respect and admiration for their fellow workers. They take complete ownership for what they do every day, and as a result, they try to leave their indelible mark by making a difference in community."

Do you remember the test with the bells? Wasn't it said, that nobody ever passed it? So the one who appointed Kakashi as teacher actually expected team 7 to fail and therefore get another teacher afterwards.

The 3rd hokage's team also fell apart and one became an enemy, the other was gambling and drinking around the world, the 3rd didn't accept the hokage position despite having mastered sage mode. The 2nd hokage's team went on to become the evil elders of the village who among other things caused the massacre of the Uchiha clan, the madness of Nagato/Pain and the creation of people like Kabuto or Sai. Orochimaru was hated by all his subordinates, except some who were made into mindless servants (sound 5, etc.) that are like suicide bombers. Jiraiya left his team without teaching them how the world works so they were tricked by evil ninja leaders. All of them are dead except Naruto, but he could also be dead by now because Jiraiya never dealt with Danzou, nor did he tell to Naruto and his other apprentices that Danzou is dangerous. Jiraiya was training Naruto for 3 years but it was almost useless since he had no chance against Sasuke or Itachi when he returned from his training with Jiraiya. In contrast with that Kakashi did teach Naruto to use his wind element in just a few days, the frogs did teach him sage mode in a few weeks and Bee did teach him in a few days what Jiraiya couldn't in 3 years.
The only decent teacher in the manga is Naruto considering that Konohamaru is already quite strong and has adopted Naruto's version of the will of fire

^kakashi also taught sasuke how to use chidori very quickly. i think he was a great teacher. it seems to be a recurring theme that a couple ninja from every generation will defect and become twisted in some way. it's more a reflection of the ninja system, then it is any particular teacher

Not sure how you measure 'great teacher', but Kakashi did raise a team that fell to pieces in less than a year, along with raising a missing-nin.
Not saying he's a FAILURE, but he wasn't really that great either.

It's quite obvious to me that the author wanted Kakashi to be The Sensei of the series, among all the teachers he is the one that was meant to be the best. If you think that Kakashi is a bad teacher then you are not satisfied with the author's performance in this matter.

^i couldn't agree more
so really all we're talking about is sasuke here and like Ero-Senn1n said, there wasn't anyone who could have stopped him. whoever you think is a better teacher than kakashi, just put them in his place, and it still wouldn't have reasonably stopped sasuke from leaving to pursue his vengeance.

As for team 7 "abandoning" Kakashi, I also disagree. Naruto and Sakura, when they were ready, simply sought instruction from masters who could offer what Kakashi couldn't. I see it somewhat analogous to a primary care physician referring a patient to a specialist. As for Sasuke, I do think a teacher should also instill virtues such as loyalty, yet things get complicated with circumstances like the Uchiha massacre, since its arguable Sasuke is in fact being "loyal" to his clan.
Still, I don't believe Sasuke's defection reflects badly on Kakashi as a teacher; even Hashirama praised the third in his teaching ability in regards to Orochimaru, and he is one of the most infamous defectors in Konoha's history. Kakashi gave Sasuke sound advice (no pun intended) regarding his hatred, yet we know that only Naruto will be allowed to get through to him for obvious plot reasons, so it really isn't fair to hold that against him either.

The end of this story is obvious now.Just as obvious as the masked mans identity and maybe twice as hard to accept for some.The day will not be won by some fantastic all powerful ninjitsu. What then can save the ninja world from an endless cycle of hatered which is the ultimate goal of every major antagonist and protagonist yet revealed. You know what, i don't don't have to tell you,you can feel it inside your heart.

I will say this about my ever present beef with Kakashi (as a teacher) and the creation of Team 7-like teams (amongst other annoyances that detract from repeated viewership): It really doesn't fucking matter. Kishimoto is not trying to make "sense" or be "logical", he is trying to entertain and present a dramatic story. As I said earlier, Naruto and Sasuke being on a team together is just plain stupid, but the connection they forge and the resulting drama is quite compelling and interesting. Simply because what Kishimoto does is stupid (and it often times is), doesn't mean the resulting emotion is false. Much of the story is dramatically sound, even if illogical.

I think people who are calling kakashi a failed teacher are forgetting that not even naruto could convince sasuke to stay and naruto is unquestionably the most persuasive character in the story. in other words, nobody could have prevented sasuke leaving. it was inevitable

Specifically, besides teaching the basic chakra control technique, he did nothing for his team (no, mentioning Tora indicates nothing; save for the very brief instance with Sasuke during the first Zabuza encounter, we were never shown any teamwork ala the Ino-Shika-Chou levels of preparation or conjoined attacks). But, he did teach Sasuke some advanced techniques, and once Team 7 had been reorganized (without Kakashi at the helm) he did teach Naruto the secret of Kage Bushin (which he conceivably could have taught Naruto on their initial meeting rather than waiting two and a half years, but for whatever reason didn't). Sadly, Sakura never received any instruction from him whether as a team or as an individual. So, he did have moderate success with Sasuke, minimal success with Naruto, and no success with Sakura.
As for strength of character, I actually think he was most influential with Sakura rather than Sasuke and Naruto. Naruto came in to the team with a strong and clear sense of self as well as how to care for others. True he was a fool and he seldom worked well with others, but he came on to the team with the desire to help. The one, and arguably only teamwork/character building lesson that Kakashi taught his team (the bell lesson) was something Naruto already knew, and had even shown during the first chapter with Iruka and the next chapter with Konohamaru. So, Kakashi effectively taught Naruto nothing he didn't already know.
Sasuke is also an interesting case. He did react well to the bell test (he did learn to treat Naruto as a human rather than simply garbage), but it seemingly did nothing for his work with his team. Rather, it was Naruto and their history that was more informative and beneficial to Sasuke's development not anything Kakashi taught him early on. And later, Kakashi tried to teach Sasuke about the destructive nature of revenge, but he was completely ignored. Sasuke effectively abandoned anything Kakashi tried to teach him (however minimal), forsaking the village and his team mates.
Sakura, on the other hand, did learn quite a bit from Kakashi's lessons and words. Coming into the team, she was a conceited, selfish little princess that cared for nothing but herself and her obsession with Sasuke. The story of Part I is, in some respects, the story of her development as a human being (the story of Part I is definitely the story of Team 7's involvement and development), going from an extreme lack of any positive traits, to a caring team mate that actively wants the best for her team mates. Whether this is really something Kakashi helped instigate or not is debatable, but it is obvious that her growth is directly related to whatever Kakashi was attempting to do with his Team.
In the end, it is obvious, at least for me, that Kakashi partially failed at teaching his team how to be physical strong, and also partially failed to teach his team strength of character. Sadly, I do not believe that his minor successes can match up to his much larger failings. He was simply not a good teacher.

as for sakura, that moreso falls under the 'useless girl' theme of naruto than it does kakashi's teaching. how can he teach someone who kishi has no intention of developing? her development during the sasori arc was clearly forced since she was quickly forgotten soon after. it was more of kishi saying he didnt forget about one of the 'main characters' and then he got tired of her really fast

Home › Forums › Gear Forums › Gear (General) › Replacement for Thorofare pants
Mar 27, 2013 at 8:15 am #1300960
Chris RamiasMember
I had a pair of BPL Thorofare pants that recently gave up the ghost. I've been looking for replacements and everything I'm looking at seems to be too heavy. Anything from 10-16 ounces seems normal. I usually wear shorts but loved the Thorofares because they were light enough to throw in the pack in case I needed pants for a short duration. While it may be ambitious to hope for replacement pants that weigh 4 ounces again, I'd like to think I could find a pair in 5-7 ounce range. Any help? Zipoff legs and other features like that are superfluous, I'm looking for as simple as possible.Mar 27, 2013 at 8:24 am #1970088

Most around here use windpants with their shorts. Any reason why those won't work? They run around 2oz to 5oz.
If you're not fashion-conscious, a lightweight baselayer would work as well to add some warmth to shorts. Good for sleeping in, also. Best bang for the warmth would be Mec T2 (4.6oz) or Capilene 4 (5.4oz). The grid fleece weighs less than normal material for the same warmth/thickness.Mar 27, 2013 at 8:30 am #1970091

I haven't found anything that compares to the thorofare for low weight, comfort against the skin with the bonus of decent weather resistance. If I have to replace them (I still have two pairs left in the closet) I would consider one of two pants. My Arcteryx Rampart (waist 32") weight 9oz a bit higher than your target… but in my experience they have a fantastic fit, are well finished and so far has been pretty durable. After the amount of wear my Rampart pants have gotten, the Thorofare would be pilling. The other option would be light wind pants. It's been years since I have used any, but the Montane Featherlite windpants worked pretty well as something I could quickly layer over my legs. So long as I wasn't hot/sweaty, the material was fairly comfortable agains the skin.

Ask BPL where they got their material and buy it. Then just make your own pants.Mar 27, 2013 at 10:43 pm #1970384
> Ask BPL where they got their material and buy it.
I believe it was a special run of a extra light version of Pertex Equilibrium. My bet is that you would need to order a fair bit of material for them to do a run. Also, a lot of people don't have the sewing skills to construct well fitting pants.
That said, if someone gets a bolt of the material, I would be interested in some :)

"Montane Featherlite windpants worked pretty well as something I could quickly layer over my legs. So long as I wasn't hot/sweaty, the material was fairly comfortable agains the skin."
Mark, so in hot weather, you would go for the Ramparts over the Featherlite pants?Mar 28, 2013 at 7:49 am #1970430
Yes, if I was going to wear pants in hot weather I would rather the Ramparts. If I wasn't going to wear the pants until both I amnd the evening had cooled off, then the featherlite would be fine. But when I am hot enough to be sweating I want my clothing to be air permeable (Rampart better than Featherlite), and ideal calendared (Thorefore and some of Royal Robbins pants, but not the Rampart and very definitely not the Featherlite).

I like my Railrider Eco-mesh(I think they are called), because they are such a good compromise for long pants.
They are lighter than most full length pants and also better ventilated when the panel is zipped open.
I find I wear them instead of shorts because they are almost as light and almost as cool, but offer protection agains bugs, UV and brambles.
You can zip up the ventilation panels when it's cold.
More flexible than other hiking pants or shorts.

University of Minnesota researchers presented their alfalfa-grass results at the 2012 Midwest Forage Association meeting in the Wisconsin Dells.
"Alfalfa and grass aren't the same, but they can be complementary to each other," noted Jim Paulson with the University of Minnesota. Paulson along with Paul Peterson, University of Minnesota, shared results from their on-farm evaluation of alfalfa-grass mixtures.
Peterson started off the presentation noting that nature has it figured out; diverse stands tend to do better than monocultures. "Forage mixtures of alfalfa with perennial cool-season grasses offer whole-system advantages over alfalfa monocultures."
Their research assessed forage yield, quality, and species compatibility of alfalfa/grass mixtures versus alfalfa monocultures on three Minnesota farms. At the conference, they focused on the two sites in their third production year (Underwood and Hutchinson, Minn.). Perennial grasses included meadow bromegrass, smooth bromegrass, festulolium, meadow fescue, tall fescue (TF), perennial ryegrass (PRG), orchardgrass (OG), reed canarygrass, and timothy.
The alfalfa/tall fescue (ALF/TF) mix at Underwood, with a season average of 31 percent grass, was the top total-season yielder (5.87 tons dry matter per acre). This combination produced 20 percent more DM than alfalfa alone (4.89 tons dry matter per acre). Alfalfa mixed with meadow bromegrass, timothy, meadow fescue, or orchard grass ranked second behind ALF/TF, yielding about 7 percent less DM. ALF/OG stood alone with the greatest season-average grass content with over 50 percent. In the third production year, ALF/PRG had the least grass.
At Hutchinson, ALF mixed with either OG or TF were the top total-season yielders, producing 12 percent more DM than ALF alone. ALF/OG (4.03 tons dry matter per acre) also had the greatest grass percentage, while ALF/TF (4.01 tons dry matter per acre) ranked second. ALF/FL was the only other mixture to outyield ALF alone by 7 percent and ranked third in grass content.
Taller stubble height needed
They also noted that growers who harvest and leave a 2-inch stubble height might struggle with grass regrowth and persistence in the stand. "Three to four inches of stubble is needed when grass is in the mix. When grasses don't have enough of a crown, photosynthesis becomes difficult and they are not able to compete," added Peterson.
If the decision is made to include grasses in the mix, producers need to find the better ones that are available. They need to look into the varieties and ask questions until they find what will work best on their operation. Paulson also noted that ration software often overestimates milk production for high-grass diets. This fault may be a shortcoming of the information provided to the model.
Finally, Paulson noted, "We aren't paid on the pounds of milk that go down the road. We are paid on the protein and fat content of our milk. Maybe it is time to shift our thinking about what we are taking off an acre of ground." He suggested a focus on the crude protein and neutral detergent fiber content of forages with a continuing look at NDF digestibility.

What is a Democracy School?
Watch this 10 minute Introduction to the Democracy School
Democracy School explores the limits of conventional regulatory organizing and offers a new organizing model that helps citizens confront the usurpation by corporations of the rights of communities, people, and the earth. Lectures cover the history of people's movements and corporate power, and the dramatic recent organizing in Pennsylvania by communities confronting agribusiness, sewage sludge, and quarry corporations. Included with enrollment in the Democracy School is a 300 plus-page notebook of background reading material, and a copy of Defying Corporations, Defining Democracy. For a historical review of the Pennsylvania work through the end of 2003, see a feature article that appeared in Orion Magazine or visit www.CELDF.org. The Schools are built around carefully designed readings, clear presentations and group discussions.
- Each School reveals how it came to be that the law enables corporate managers to dictate their values, and impose their projects on communities.
- Includes an intense, comprehensive history of the judicial bestowal of constitutional rights of persons on corporations.
- Learn the secret of how People's Movements have cut to the essence and won their struggles to be "found" in the constitution.
- The Anti-Federalists
- The Abolitionists
- The Suffragists
- The Populists
- The Labor Movement
- And learn about earlier Movements, including the Levelers and the Diggers.
- Experience the Pennsylvania Story – an ongoing struggle to take the power to govern out of the Corporate Boardrooms and put it back in our communities where it belongs.
- For people of all ages, interests and occupations
- Classes consist of small groups of 20-25 people like you.

There's another way to recognize the right end of the spring because the difference in size is minor. One end is wide open and the other has at least a whole turn tightly packed. The closed end goes to the back of the barrel.
The same rule applies to other guns, not only blowbacks. I've seen a lot of 1911 with the spring mounted backwards. If one end goes into a guide (spring guide or the barrel itself), it's the closed end. Ends that go inside a cap, the spring plug on a 1911 or the inside of the slide on a blowback, are the open ones.

Byron Landry
Last Modified: Thursday, January 10, 2013 5:13 PM
A 42-year-old Lake Arthur man has been charged with sexual battery of a juvenile, authorities said.
Jeff Davis Parish Sheriff's Office spokesman Christopher Ivey said Byron Landry, 711 1/2 Calcasieu Ave., was arrested Wednesday night following a month-long investigation.
"In early December, detectives began an investigation an alleged sexual battery of a juvenile," Ivey said in a news release. "During the course of the investigation, it was learned that Landry had inappropriate contact with a 4-year-old."
Landry's bond was set at $400,000.

Chris Brown has arrived at court with Rihanna to face allegations he faked the community service he was sentenced to complete after beating her.
The 23-year-old R&B singer recently rekindled his relationship with the 24-year-old popstar, despite still being on probation for assaulting her in 2009.
He is in court today to battle a motion by the Los Angeles County District Attorney's Office saying he never completed the community service he was sentenced to carry out over the assault.
Rihanna arrived with him and blew him a kiss as he went into the courtroom.
They also left together after the brief proceeding.
Brown's attorney filed an opposition shortly before the hearing and Superior Court Judge James Brandlin set a new hearing date for April 5.
Brown was ordered to serve five years on probation and perform six months of community labour after he pleaded guilty in the February 2009 assault on Rihanna.
Investigators from Los Angeles traveled to Virginia to try to verify he had worked all the hours as reported by the Richmond Police Department, but they were unable to confirm it, the motion said.
"This inquiry provided no credible, competent or verifiable evidence that defendant Brown performed his community labour as presented to this court," Deputy District Attorney Mary Murray wrote.
The records submitted by Richmond Police Chief Bryan Norwood are "at best sloppy documentation and at worst fraudulent reporting."
Richmond Police spokesman Gene Lepley had no immediate comment on the allegations.
Brown was allowed to perform his community labor in his home state of Virginia.
Richmond police submitted paperwork last year indicating Brown had completed his sentence, but the logs showed the singer performing double shifts in the city and at a day care center where his mother once worked.

Hey everyone, new here, and just starting out. Mostly got everything worked out with one exception, the bees themselves! Im really thinking hard about getting Szabo bees, apparently they are suppose to be really good, and he will sell a whole hive body (sure you pay for it, but i think head start might be nice), Ive also been looking at Ferguson Apiaries and buckfasts but it looks like he only sells queens (no nucs). Kind of going on Kim Flottums advice of buying the best bee you possibly can.
So heard lots of positive reviews about the buckfasts, but absolutly nothing on Szabos?

maybe, maybe not. I can speculate a lot (about what I think and thinking about things in the past etc.) but in fact, I know nothing right now :PSo falling apart after that only shows nerves overtaking you due to perfectionism and expectations..
I just know that a week ago, he really wasn't fit yet, and he said to Czech press too, that he wasn't 100% ... and I do think this had some influence...either physically, mentally, or both.

I got back and watched tonight taka's and weir's program 3 times in a row. I soooo liked them, Weir just flies and Taka... i think his performance is one for the ages!!!
I just wanted to end the day with a positive vibe cause concerning gpf i was all day
now i m fine :D
I am happy for Daiske & Evan.
Both of them were wonderful today!
Looking forward to watching LPs. I love all their LPs especially Evan's.
I feel really sad Brian isn't at GPF though.
I'd say Lysacek did deserve 2nd behind Takahashi. It should have been a far wider gap, of course, but I appreciated a couple of the choreographic details more this time and think the program is quite good (even if Weir does have stronger skating skills). His arm movements after the Flip are, dare I say, interesting and beginning of his circular step sequence is a great moment.
I am happy Weir gave a strong performance, of course, but it's difficult because he just isn't the skater he used to be. His musical interpretation simply doesn't have the uniqueness and effect that it used to.
No matter what, I will always have a soft spot for Johnny. I just realized that also sounds pervy, but I mean he just seems like a sweet-heart and even if he's not skating his best I always cheer for him.
Plus, what other male skater wears an outfit with sequined pink ribbons? hehehe :o :o :o
Watching these SPs together really showcases how great they all are. Please, Tomas and Jeremy, get it together before the LP. You guys are better than this. Show it.
Just got back from a trip so I didn't get to watch... sounds like I missed a great competition
It is SO great the way Evan has handled the pressure this year. Keep it up!!
Indeed. Mental toughness and consistency really matters. IMHO, Evan really utilizes the best of what he got. Good for him.Originally Posted by Layfan

Re: A message for the Oliver Family.
Hi guys, I hope everyone had a great weekend. Just wanted to pop in and see how your all doing. Last time I was here, [Friday I think], I was having a chit-chat with Mercedes when I mentioned that the medication I was on was making me a little drowsy [falling asleep at the computer actually ] and she told me go and lay down for awhile and have a good old snooze, [smart woman that Mercedes ], so I did. Before I finish this incredibly boring story [sorry], I wanted to mention that people have always assumed that women have a powerful gift of intuition, well, I must have been standing in the wrong line when they handed that gift out because when I finally woke up, I was so sick with what can only be described as the Frankenstein Flu, that when I tried to stand up, any sense of balance I had, had gone on vacation. So I laid back down on the couch and that's where I've been ever since. WOW, that story was even more boring to tell then it was to live it :!:. I sincerely hope your weekend was better than that, and I hope you had a hell of a lot more fun, [which wouldn't be too hard to accomplish]. I also wanted to say a very warm HELLO to everyone who took the time to have a chit-chat with me and whom sent some very sweet messages my way. It did exactly what Kittenclaws said I needed, a lift of the heart, [I know, I know,..ahhhh..]. I hope everyone had at least one reason to smile today, so bye for now, [a little sick, but a smiling ],..Mrs.D.. P.S. Maybe we should change the name of the topic from " A message for the Oliver family" to, "Messages for the Oliver Forum Family", but then again, if it's not broken, why try to fix it. P.S.S...When you guys use the term "troll", exactly what do you mean?. [Just Curious]....

Re: A message for the Oliver Family.
Hi Mrs D! A troll is someone who comes onto a forum with the intention of disrupting it and annoying people. I must admit though I call people trolls (not to their faces!) off the Net too, following Joanna Lumley in Absolutely Fabulous... British viewers of a certain age (I'm 30) will get it... but on forums trolls are basically annoying interruptions to everyone else.
You'll see some examples here Mrs D - they come and they insult but they go, because they get scared away, or else they get bored.
Off to bed now! good night

text: Got a call from a guy I know who asked me to come out and see if there was anything I could do. This tree got dropped, dragged to a clearing and was being junked up until his worker got chased away. Why this guy didn't stop, he must have noticed on a few of the cuts. The property owner felt terrible and wanted me to try and save what was left. I found a canteloupe size cluster still alive so I stood the pieces back up as best I could, figured what have I got to lose? Comb was incredibly long. Owner told workers to be on lookout for this type of thing and leave trees alone if inhabited. We do have some friends.

Ladies' shorts can vary in style from season to season. Depending on your body type and fashion preference, running shorts or board shorts may be suitable for an active afternoon, while a pair of drawstring denim shorts or colorful Bermuda shorts will take you from the golf course to the café.
Most women find that unless they have boyish figures, buying shorts to fit their body types can be challenging. Some have small waists and wider hips and thighs; others are thicker in the middle and have more slender legs. No matter, Bealls has a full selection of shorts that will flatter every figure and budget.
Following are some ladies' shorts suggestions to suit most any body type:
No matter what style of ladies' shorts you choose, it's important to check the fit from all angles. Bend front to back to see how comfortable the shorts are – and to check if they reveal more than you'd like. Try them on with different types of shoes, and be sure to sit down to check if the shorts ride up uncomfortably.
Take a look at the wide selection of ladies' shorts at BeallsFlorida.com.

Where I stayed
For our two week vacation this year we decided to go to Slovenia and Croatia. These are 2 countries that have become quite popular with Europeans again - as they were prior to the wars and other events that separated the former Yugoslavia into several countries. We thought it would be a good time to go - before these countries became too popular - but we might have been a bit late!
It's a 14 hour drive from Amsterdam to Slovenia, so we decided to stop for a night in Salzburg along the way. We've been to Salzburg before and enjoyed it. Unfortunately we had car trouble on the way down and became stranded in Salzburg for the entire weekend. Granted, there are far worse places to be "stranded", but it was still not the best start to a vacation.
Aside from spending time on the phone trying to work out how to get our car fixed and get a replacement car so we could continue our journey, we did a few fun things as well. Melanie went on the Sound of Music tour, which is a bus ride around parts of Salzburg and the surrounding hill country where the movie was filmed. She saw the houses used for the front and back of the von Trapp mansion (two different houses), the church where they were married (in the movie), the 16 going on 17 gazebo, the abbey (from afar), and the trees from which the children hung in their drapery clothes. Along the way we learned some tidbits relative to what parts of the story were true and which were liberties taken by Oscar and Hammerstein, saw some beautiful Austrian countryside, and rode a summer luge. What the summer luge has to do with the Sound of Music, we have no idea, but it was still fun.
From that tour Melanie got two great recommendations for other ways to fill our unexpected Salzburg time. The St. Augustine monestary brews beer and hosts Salzburg's biggest beer garden. It also hosts several independent food kiosks - sort of like a very old food court - which sell bread, meats, pretzels, sweets and other typically Austrian beer hall food. We went to one stall to buy rolls and the next stall to buy the ham to put on the rolls to make a sandwich. This was a nice late lunch to start a day of wandering around the Salzburg old town.
On Sunday, after it became clear we really weren't going to be able to leave town that day, we took a bus out of town to a cable car which took us to the top of a mountain where there were stunning views of the surrounding Alps and several hiking trails. The ride on the cable car was thrilling in itself as the angle of ascent changed dramatically as we passed each cable tower.
On our way to the bus, we heard interesting music coming from a church and happened into a Croatian festival. The festival included people dressed in traditional clothing playing traditional music as part of the church service. In the church parking lot there were several tables of homemade typically Croatian sweet and savory snacks. We were encouraged to try as many as we'd like. There was no charge, but we were welcome to give a small donation if we wanted! The snacks were really delicious, but also very high in fat (one was deep fried dough), so we were happy to be hiking afterwards.
On Monday morning we were up bright and early to have the car at the garage by 7:30 am. By noon it was fixed enough to continue on. With great anticipation and excitement we headed to Ljubljana.
Stay tuned for more happy travels!

Where we stayed: Renaissance Hotel. The staff here was incredibly nice and understanding given that we were never sure if we were staying on another day until mid-afternoon. The breakfast buffet was enough for the whole day.
Where we ate:
* Zum Guten Hirten. This was a terrific local restaurant a short walk away from town from our hotel. It was out of the way from the tourist route and filled with locals eating typically Austrian fare. We liked it so much we ate here twice (or was it 3 times?!)
* Augustiner Braustubl. We ate here twice as well. The beer garden is huge, the ambiance terrific, and if all you want is a sandwich and a beer there's no place better!
* Cable Car to Mountaintop. Take the #25 bus from the Mirabelleplatz. Allow a full afternoon (or even better, a full day) to take the bus, then the cable car and do some hiking once there.
* Sound of Music Tour

|A few minutes with Jarome Iginla
|10.29.08 at 10:47 am ET
The Bruins have a well-deserved day off after taking a second straight 1-0 win along their Western Canada road odyssey, so there isn't a ton to report on the Spoked B's other than the notion that Tim Thomas finally seems to have gained the upper hand in goaltending situation. After last night's second straight shutout, Thomas is leading the NHL with a .943 save percentage and is second in the league after six games with a 1.77 goals against average.
Thomas became the first B's netminder since Byron Dafoe in 1999 to register back-to-back shutouts after Tuesday night's 1-0 win in Vancouver. It was also the first time in nine games this season that B's coach Claude Julien has given the same goaltender the starting nod in two consecutive games.
With the Calgary Flames on the schedule for Thursday night, here's a few minutes Flames right winger Jarome Iginla courtesy of an NHL conference call from Monday. The rugged, skilled Iginla exploded for 5 goals and 2 assists over three three games before getting shut out against the Colorado Avalanche on Tuesday night.
Iginla is also one of the few elite scoring players in the NHL that's also willing to drop the gloves, as he's done numerous times in his career — including this haymaker-throwing donnybrook with Vancouver's Willie Mitchell.
Containing Iginla will be a large part of the B's dousing the Flames and going a perfect 3-0 in the Great White Western North of Canada, so here's a few thoughts with the 31-year-old winger with 6 goals and 4 assists this season:
Q. Fighting is up significantly in the NHL this season. Do you have any theories on why that is?
JAROME IGINLA:No, I don't. I don't have any theories. I think it's definitely still part of the game. I guess the numbers would show it, but I think it's still part of the game and part of the team and as far as momentum, and also making sure you don't get intimidated or vice versa. No, I wasn't aware that it was up or not, but definitely when you play, you know, there's always that chance you never know if it's going to be a fight. It's not out of it, as people are talking.
You guys added a couple of new people in the off-season, and maybe that was part of the reason for the slow start. How hard has it been working in a couple of these new guys this year?
JAROME IGINLA: It's been great. I think that we made changes in the off-season, as most teams do, and up front I think we've gotten a lot quicker. I think that [Todd] Bertuzzi has come in and played really, really well for us, and that's been a big part of our power play.
[Mike] Cammalleri has fit in really nicely, and we added [Rene] Bourque and [Curtis] Glencross with their speed. I wouldn't say that the start that we had was slow. We had a good preseason. We were playing pretty well and things were going good, and we just got off to a tough start. We had a bad first game against Vancouver, and then we lost a few one-goal games in a row where defensively our game wasn't very sharp, and we were still right there in the one-goal games and we were having terrible second periods.
So I wouldn't say it was like getting used to everyone. It didn't really feel like that. It was just that we kind of just went into a little bit of a funk and got a little bit away from what we wanted to do and weren't moving the puck very well or playing very strong defensively. We tried to change those things. It's all the things you talk about. And fortunately this last week was a lot better for us.
Q. And looking at your team, you mentioned Todd Bertuzzi. Can you talk about how he fit in and the strong start he's gotten off to for you guys?
JAROME IGINLA: Yeah, he's been really, really good for us. He's come in and he's playing really hard. He's having a lot of fun. Talking to him, he's really enjoying himself. He's one of the older guys on the team, so he's been a leader in our dressing room.
He's come in on the power play. I think our power play has been really coming on, and he's a big part of that. He grabs a lot of attention in front of the net. He moves the puck well still. So on the power play, we wanted to win, we want to be a better team in the league and we've got to get our power play up there, too, and he's been a big reason why it's been improving.
Q. This is sort of a league issue. I was going to talk about the new injury disclosure policy in which the league has really tightened what the teams can release publicly about injuries. I wanted to just talk a little bit about the rationale. Have you ever been targeted by an opponent who may have known you were injured any time in your career? Did you ever feel that that was a threat?
JAROME IGINLA: I personally haven't been. You know, I can see the one side where it sounds like you don't want anyone to know if a guy has maybe a bad hand and you're going to start slashing his hand. But I don't think that's going to happen regularly.
I know when we hear a guy with an injury, we just played [Jason] Arnott. We knew he came back in Nashville, and we knew he came back from a finger injury. We're trying to be hard on him obviously because it's his first game back and he plays so well against us, but no one made one comment about let's go slash his hands or anything like that. I mean, maybe playoff time things heat up even more. But no, we've never really talked like that at all.
Q. And just one quick follow-up. There's been some comparisons drawn with the NFL only because it's a pretty physical sport, as well, and guys try to take advantage of every piece of intelligence that they have. They have the most transparent policy, in which every Wednesday and Friday there's a report that comes out on each injured player, where he's hurt, what he's been able to do. There's a big reason for that, and that's in Las Vegas with the wagering and whatnot. But I'm just curious, if the NFL can be that transparent, why can't the NHL?
JAROME IGINLA: Well, yeah, I think it's obviously a very physical sport, too. I mean, we're trying to not say a guy has a shoulder injury. Say we're playing another team and one of their top guys has a shoulder injury. Well, we're probably trying to hit him anyway, but we're trying to hit him as much as we can.
And if it's an ankle injury, there's nothing a guy is really doing to another guy's ankle. I guess it would be a hand would come to mind that you might see more, but refs are on that and see that anyway. So yeah, most of them are like yeah, I'm not that personally, obviously, I'm not that worried about it because usually I feel like they're trying to hit me anyway, or playing against another team's defensemen and they're trying to run me into a corner whether my shoulder is good or not. No, I could see why it could be more transparent.
Q. I want to ask you, you've been captain in Calgary for five years. Did you feel any more pressure to put the team up on your shoulders? You had such a great week this week. Since you're the captain and the leader, did you maybe send out the message to the rest of the guys about how everybody needs to pick up their play a little bit more and if they see the captain doing it they'll try to do what they can to try to follow your lead?
JAROME IGINLA: Well, I mean, we had a lot of talk before this week about the fact that we definitely want to turn it around, but that's something that happens when you're not winning as a team. Yeah, I personally want to be better, but every guy wants to be better in the room.
I think if you went around and you asked Dion [Phaneuf] and Kipper and Bertuzzi, and you went to our young guys, [Dustin] Boydie, it's something that it's every single guy. There's not many that feel good and they just want to keep going. Every guy thinks when you're not winning that you can do just a bit more and you want to be a little bit sharper. I don't think it's because I'm a captain or anything. I think partly I'm a veteran and have been here, and I thankfully play a good amount of minutes and I'm out there, but I think it's just something that's part of a team that every guy does look at himself and see how he can contribute and collectively be better as a group.

More evidence of the sickening barbarity of America's penal institutions: LIL WAYNE is being hassled because officers found headphones and the charger for an MP3 player in his cell. (The actual MP3 player was found stashed in a nearby cell.) Is Rikers Island really so cruel as to rob Wayne of music, the one non-purple thing that restores his soul and arouses his passions? Is it fair to deny an artist his right to listen to MP3s after he's leaked so many of his own, freely and willingly, to the public? This isn't justice. If only Kareem Saïd were alive to rise up against this inhumanity.
And that's not the only trouble our Weezing hero finds himself in: producer Bangladesh is suing Wayne's Cash Money label for overdue royalties. The label, it's alleged, has failed to send checks for "A Milli," one of Weezy's biggest hits, and is on the hook for something like half a million bucks. Shame on you, Cash Money — this non-payment is particularly egregious given the producer's history of famine and desperate poverty, which prompted George Harrison to come to his aid with a high-profile relief concert in 1971.
I can't believe I'm mentioning ADAM ANT for the second time this month — that's such an exponential increase in Ant-news frequency that my column is in danger of being overrun. This time, we find our aging, paint-faced drum major in a church in Portsmouth, England, where a show went direly awry. According to an account in the Sun:
"When he was heckled by the crowd of 200 — which included young children — he snarled: 'I'm a punk rocker. I don't do Christian. You can fuck off to the church.' "
Somehow, proclaiming your punk principles seems a little less bitchin' when you're 55 years old, in a church, being mocked by children. "The show was shit," Ant later told the paper. "I wasn't told it was in a church hall."
LOU REED, having long since run out of art relevant to his own species, is putting on a symphony for dogs at a Sydney music festival. It'll be composed entirely in pitches too high for human ears but audible to canine ones — which sounds like a cute idea until you think about how shitty that'll be for the intended audience. Dog whistles and those ultrasonic anti-bark things work by startling and disorienting dogs with unpleasantly high tones, so expect your pets to react about as well as mankind did to Metal Machine Music.
In other news that sounds as if it had been made up as filler for idiotic pop-guffaw columns like this one, the guitarist for TOKIO HOTEL told the German newspaper Bild that he fell ill on tour after taking an overdose of Viagra. For two days, he suffered from headaches, blurry vision, and unfun boners. "Unfortunately there were situations where it just wasn't appropriate," he said, and we all completely believed his awesome wacky rock-and-roll party story and it was totally legendary.
I swear, maybe they heard I was sick last week so they're just pitching me softballs.

Arizona Diamondbacks
Brenly surprised D-backs looking to move Bauer
The Arizona Diamondbacks have already been busy with moves this offseason and reports have them now entertaining more. After trading outfielder Chris Young to the Oakland Athletics last month, signs points to the D-backs once again trying to trade right fielder Justin Upton.
This shouldn't come as much of a surprise, as Upton's name did appear in trade talks throughout the 2012 season. But what may come as a shock is according to ESPN MLB writer Jerry Crasnick, the D-backs are also looking to move top prospect Trevor Bauer.
Bauer, the third overall pick in the 2011 MLB draft, made his Major League debut in June but struggled in his four starts with the D-backs, allowing 11 earned runs in 16 1/3 innings while striking out 17 and walking 13. He was sent back down to Triple-A where he remained for the rest of the season. But now, according to Crasnick, the young pitching phenom has fallen out of favor with the team that drafted him.
Former Diamondbacks manager and now color commentator Bob Brenly spoke with Arizona Sports 620's Doug and Wolf and gave his take on Bauer's name being on the market.
"You're always surprised when young pitching comes up because that's something every team is looking to add and every team is looking to stockpile as many good young arms as you can," said Brenly.
Brenly went on to say he believes Bauer's unique warm up routine is one of the reasons the rift between the D-backs and the pitcher once believed to be the future of the franchise has manifested.

Why would you go with two deep hive bodies or one? Just curious any input would be appreciated.
Why would you go with two deep hive bodies or one? Just curious any input would be appreciated.
The two issues are, how much room does the queen need to lay, and what quantity of stores do they need to get through the winter. I don't use any, I use eight frame mediums, but still what I leave them for winter is important. If you use an excluder, then what is below the excluder becomes the only space available for the brood nest, and limiting that too much leads to swarming.
Michael Bush bushfarms.com/bees.htm "Everything works if you let it." ThePracticalBeekeeper.com 42y 40h 39yTF
I've never been able to keep a hive alive through the winter on a single deep. I have one that is doing great on a deep and a shallow, but it's also been fed about six gallons since Thanksgiving. They were in dire straits entering the winter; never would've made it without help.
We use one deep, then an excluder, but not all of the brood is below the excluder at all times.
Crazy Roland
I have always used a 10 frame double deep. More room for brood and stores. Also less swarming!!
I use ten frame standard supers for all wooden ware. My bees overwinter pretty well in two standard supers - but I am not very far north. I like the luxury of same size for everything.
Here where I live bees can winter on a 10 frame deep with 1 medium for stores, also called " hive and a half", however I run 10 frame double deeps, having enough stores for winter is a necessity but one must remember that the bees will need their stores for brood rearing in early spring as well, I want to be sure that they have what is needed.

Teen Recounts Shark Attack
houston, Texas -
(KPRC) A Houston, Texas teenager is recovering after a shark encounter in Galveston.
She was bitten over the weekend on West Beach, one of the most popular spots on the island.
Mikaela Medina, 14, says she didn't know what happened at first; all she said is she felt something slam into her back. She didn't realize she had been bitten by a shark until she got back to shore.
"I came in, the water was murky, a lot of seaweed. Then I turned around, didn't see anything, didn't see blood or the shark or anything so I swam out. At first I didn't think it was much. I was like this could be a big deal so swam out as fast as I could. I was completely out of breath and I told my mom, I said, 'I think there is a shark out there,'" Mikaela said.

Virtual Fieldwork: Bringing Monkeys into the Classroom
White-faced capuchin monkeys lounge in the trees in the Curú wildlife reserve.
In a time when our smart phones and computers are becoming more and more vital to our everyday lives, it only makes sense to utilize them as a portal for education. In January, Professor Mary Baker and three of her students, Christine LaChance, Breanna Canning and Ruby Lazo, traveled to Costa Rica to study white-faced capuchin monkeys. They planned to use their experience to increase and foster interest and expertise in the areas of science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) among a small group of high school students back home.
Baker and her students spent two weeks in Curú, a wildlife reserve in Costa Rica, located on the southeast part of the Nicoya Peninsula of Costa Rica. The reserve is currently home to 232 species of birds, 78 species of mammals, 87 species of reptiles and more than 500 species of plants. Baker has studied the social traditions, social intelligence and fur-rubbing behaviors of white-faced capuchin monkeys for over 20 years.
Over two weeks, RIC students carried out a project designed by MET high school students back in Providence in which they studied the behaviors and food processing techniques of white-faced capuchin monkeys. RIC students also learned about an ongoing conservation project focused on understanding the importance of diversity of microhabitats and small corridor-use by animals in wildlife reserves. Through a third project, Baker and her students helped to develop a strategy to manage trash disposal and reduce the feeding of animals by tourists.
The students' main objective, however, was to pilot a new and innovative concept known as Virtual Fieldwork. Inspired by John Butterill, a photographer who discovered a way to share his photo walks with people whose mobility was limited, Baker realized she could use cellular technology to bring the monkeys into the classroom. While following the capuchins in Costa Rica, her group was able to live-stream video back to students at the MET in Providence. Exploring unique mini-lessons in topics ranging from monkey behavior and ecology or the history of the reserve, the MET students became active participants in the fieldwork experience via Skype. The Providence-based students were even able to direct the camera viewpoints.
Through Virtual Fieldwork, students who are unable to travel nevertheless engage deeply with science education. Baker and her students hope that this approach to fostering interest in STEM education can one day serve as an accessible model for future international collaborations and research.
It's one thing to open a textbook and read about scientific concepts, but it is another thing to actually experience it, they explained.

Yay! Today I submitted my first GHC patch, and not only that, a patch to Cabal too! The GHC patch removed a dependency on Cabal which caused the head build to fail today when Cabal changed its API. I first made a simplistic fix but then Igloo suggested I remove the dependency on Cabal completely from that particular piece of code so I revised my patch and he accepted it. I'm happy to say the GHC sources are now
The Cabal patch fixed some erroneous parsing of the output of "ghc --supported-languages". Cabal is changing the way it detects compiler language extensions and they happened to make a silly mistake in the new code.
If I keep going like this I'm going to learn a lot about GHC and the Haskell infrastructure I'm sure. The people on #ghc have been very helpful and receptive.
In my undergrad research I've been using Haskell to parse, transform and pretty-print Fortran code. In the beginning I used Open64, a Fortran compiler and source2source transformer written in C++ for the work, but one day I couldn't take it anymore and started writing a Fortran parser and pretty printer in Haskell instead. Things have been a bit more fun since then but I'd be happy to get rid of Fortran too. Unfortunately transforming Fortran is the whole point of the research so I guess I can't do that :)
I've also been toying with an own programming language. I aim to explore what a programming language based on use-once variables may look like and how it can be made more convenient to work with. Hopefully such a language could combine the benefits of functional programming with the straight-forwardness of imperative languages. Maybe I will write more about it at some point.

I'd considered doing up a AR platform, but am a bit of a sticlker for quality, so after pricing all the "good stuff" and a heavier profile chrome lined barrel I just broke down and bought a Sig Sauer today at wally world,, a flat top with a 3x lighted Sig scope on it and collapsible stock mid weight barrel chrome lined and it ended up only costing about 125 bucks more than to build one with everything considered. And like ya say,,, it's just an assembly process,, that and I don't have head space gauges and reciever blocks, spaners ect,, ect ,,, ect,,, See where I'm going? Probibley would have cost more in the long run to build one sense I probibly won't have more. Or plan on assembling any more. I could have saved 300+ but needed every AR tool to do a clean "build/assembly". Not cost effective for me.
The trigger on the one I got is a bit gritty,,, actually,, allot gritty, but predictible and consistant. Guess what I'll be doing after hunting tomorrow,,, you guessed it,,,, polishing stuff !!! Here we go again. Bad part,, no place to try it out till after deer season,,, DAMN!!! I'll just fuss around and tweek the stuff I can on this one.
I thought I was going to get away with loading a program in into one of the CNC machines at work. But, they keep an eye on stuff like that there. I am stuck just like the rest of you who hope to find some 80% lowers here and there.
The last ones I did out of Weaponsguild turned out pretty good. Its just a labor intensive deal to make up a bunch of them though on a manual Bridgeport milling machine.
Ar15 is a sweet KIT to assemble. Its great that business is still allowed to churn these components out.
Enforcement, NOT Amnesty!!!!!!
"If theyre going to come here illegally, apply for & receive assistance through a corrupted Government agency encouraging this lawless behavior, work under the table & send billions of dollars each year back to their families in Mexico, while bleeding local economies dry, protest in our streets waving their Mexican flags DEMANDING rights, while I have to press 1′ for English, then they need to be shipped back to where they came from!" -Chad Miller
Count me in I could use a couple more

I have used the Palmetto State Armory and Spike's Tactical stripped lowers with both of their lower parts kits without any issues. I still prefer to assemble with the parts I want, than what they stuff into the assembled lowers. I don't think I would ever purchase a complete assembled AR rifle.

This just in........The Giants are good.
Why do people say that? Did they NOT just witness a 20 point shallacking? Embarassed people should be a little more humble than that.
Well, regardless, it was a rather dominant performance on both sides of the ball. we looked really good against a team who gave it to the Aints last weekend.
This was a huge win. We couldn't be going into Philly at 1-2. Now we have a legit shot to get on top of the division after next week.
And someone tell Dezz that the defense played well.
And hell yea, the D looked really good! I was getting on Tuck's case cuz he looked slow in the first 2 weeks, but he was great yesterday. EVERYONE on defense had a good game.
