This is not a glamour position on the offensive side of the football, but one of importance moving forward in 2012 for the Miami Dolphins. Big bodies asked to be stout and strong as they run block, but have the agility to get outside and lead running back Reggie Bush outside on the edge! The Dolphins were very fortunate last season to avoid injury at this position, seeing the same lineup in 14 of 16 regular season games!

Redmond girl 'feels good' after innovative procedure
Avery Walker, fighting leukemia for third time, in Philadelphia
REDMOND, Ore. - Avrey Walker, 10, of Redmond is improving significantly after she recently underwent an experimental procedure in Philadelphia. She's battling leukemia for the third time, and her family says they're staying optimistic that she will win her fight.
"I feel good," Avrey said this week from the Ronald McDonald House in Philadelphia. "I had a few side effects that made me have some headaches and stuff like that, but other than that, I'm good."
Just two weeks ago at the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia, Avrey received new T-cells. They are engineered with a disabled HIV virus that's attacking her cancer cells.
"We've already seen a dramatic difference in the way she looks, and the way she feels," said Avrey's dad, Aaron Walker. "They're working."
Doctors were anticipating a different reaction from Avrey. Only a few other children have tried the treatment, and most of them got very sick afterward. Some of them were near death before their cancer cells were killed.
After a six-year battle, it took just 10 seconds to inject Avrey with the new cells. Ten days later, she was feeling better.
"It almost feels too good to be true," Aaron said.
The family will have to wait and find out if it is too good to be true. Doctors are constantly testing Avrey's blood, and she will have a bone marrow biopsy in the coming weeks to find out what the T-cells have done.
While staying in Philadelphia, she's also made some new friends at the Ronald McDonald House.
"Her name is Courtney," Avrey said. "She always comes over and knocks on my door and asks if I can play. And we just run around and be crazy."
Avrey and her family have also had a chance to explore the City of Brotherly Love.
"We went to the penitentiary, which was pretty cool, and we went to the aquarium and the Franklin Institute," she said.
After such long fight, there is a shadow of doubt, but the family says they're staying optimistic that Avrey has been cured.
"I feel blessed and I feel ecstatic that we can actually have a normal life again, which is something we haven't had for quite some time," Aaron said.
And Avrey said she is excited to get home to see her best friend, her classmates and her sister.
"All my family at home and all my other friends have been having benefits for me, so I wanted to say thank you," she said.
This Saturday, there will be a day dedicated to Avrey at Coyote Ranch in Redmond. It starts with poker tournament a noon. At 6 p.m., there will be a dinner, auction and performances. Tickets are $45 in advance and $55 at the door.

A helicopter will be in use on the University of Colorado Boulder campus near Folsom Field from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Wednesday, Nov. 21, to assist with an operation to upgrade existing wireless equipment.
The helicopter will land in lot 375 north of Franklin Field around 8 a.m. and then be used several times during the day to remove existing equipment from the roof of the stadium's skyboxes and lift new equipment into place. A helicopter will be used because the distance required for maintenance is too far for the reach of a crane.
The area will be monitored by CU police officers and traffic will be restricted on Franklin Drive.

Website Design Services at Affordable Prices
Why Your Business Needs A Web Presence
Without a good-looking, user-friendly website, small and midsize businesses pass up valuable opportunities to generate new business and reach new markets. Too many small businesses don't launch a Web site or an e-commerce site because they think it will be expensive — think again. For the price of an ad campaign in the local paper, you can have a website for a one-time charge and a small monthly hosting fee. Just ask some of the folks for whom we've developed websites!
When was the last time you evaluated your website for easily navigable design and search-engine friendly based on the latest search engine parameters (which are constantly changing)? Are you achieving the goals you want? Ask yourself "What problem are customers trying to solve? What information and/or products do your customers want?"
We can professionally design/redesign your website at an affordable price. Did you design your website yourself, and now find that you are ready for a website that's more user-friendly and can be found in the search engines? We're here to be of service to you in meeting your wants and needs – and we work online, so you can watch as your website develops and offer input as we build it.
Consider: You're running an ad in the local paper – but there's limited space to tell your story! Include your website address, so folks can learn more about your products and/or services. You can include samples of your work via photos, and information about your products and/or services.
A website is a "must" in today's market – We'll provide all the services you need, give you a checklist to get started, and voilá – your website will be up and running! Would you like to design your own website? No problem – we will furnish you free templates or your can design from scratch – included in our hosting service of only $15 per month! Need a domain name? We'll get you one for only $25.00 a year! Call TODAY! (360) 681-7111.
Here are some other reasons to have a professionally designed website for your business or organization:
* To make available product information and price lists to customers.
* To encourage potential customers to contact you by phone, mail or email to complete a sale.
* To develop a qualified list of prospects.
* To give a favorable impression of your company or organization.
* To sell products directly taking credit card information over the Internet.
* To strengthen brand identification.
Even though social media sites like Facebook and Pinterest are all the rage, a strong website – optimized for mobile and tablets – are still the roots for your business or organization online. The majority of your new customers and clients will find you by searching for you online.
Your website is a billboard for your business or organization. There should be a "message" you are giving on your website that helps folks with meeting their needs, in products, in services, or in general information.
The look of your website is important: the priority should be making the benefits you offer easy to find, quick to load, and crystal clear in the message.
This is the real function of design, and we do a great job at a very reasonable price. The old adage "Time is Money" is especially true with website design. You can spend the time learning how to develop your own website (and we offer a number of template programs for that purpose), or you can hire us to do it for you, leaving you free to do what you do best – spend your time efficiently with your field of endeavor, whether it be a business or a nonprofit organization.

Story highlights
- Bangkok's nahm restaurant wins second edition of Asia's 50 Best Restaurants Awards
- Bangkok, Japan and Singapore all have two entries in top 10, Hong Kong has three
- Korea's first entry on the list comes in at no 20 -- Jungsik in Seoul
David Thompson's Bangkok restaurant nahm is now officially Asia's best restaurant, but the understated Australian-born chef says he's cross.
"I've lost money. I bet against myself," says Thompson.
"I had several bets and it's ranged from two bottles of sauce of Sriracha, a bottle of fish sauce, to quite a few hundred dollars. Damn," he says.
With dishes ranging from smoked fish, peanut and tapioca dumplings, to salted threadfin perch with ginger, chili and green mango on betel leaves, nahm's fiery menu is hailed as a shining example of fine Thai cuisine.
Moving up from third place at last year's inaugural S. Pellegrino & Acqua Panna Asia's 50 Best Restaurants Awards, Thompson says he hopes the honor awarded at last night's glittering ceremony at Capella on Singapore's Sentosa Island, will provide a positive boost during what has been a troubled few months in Thailand.
"Bangkok, as you know, is going through a little bit of a fractious time," he says.
"Hopefully this will help to sustain us, but also show that Thai culture still continues on despite the political disturbances that are occurring at the moment."
Celebrating excellent food and the top chefs of the region, the list of Asia's 50 Best Restaurants is an off-shoot of the prestigious World's 50 Best Restaurant Awards, one of the highest accolades in the industry.
"That might sound obvious because we're in Asia, but there's been a lot of Western influence especially at the fine dining end of the market, a lot of European influence," says William Drew, awards organizer and editor of the UK's Restaurant magazine.
"But I think that perhaps is waning and Asian cuisine is forging a stronger identity in international terms."
Back to our roots
Drew says the best chefs are embracing their unique histories and using them as a basis for creating contemporary, innovative dishes.
One example is the recipient of The Diners Club Lifetime Achievement Award which went to Ivan Li, executive chef and co-owner of Family Li Imperial Cuisine, in Beijing's Shunyi district.
Following in the footsteps of his great grandfather who oversaw the imperial kitchen in the Forbidden City during the Qing dynasty, Li delicately reproduces the recipes passed down through his family for four generations over an oven fire.
"Asian food is very unique," says Li.
"But we have also lost a lot of the traditions of the food culture. Now we're trying to rediscover and recreate some of the traditions."
More than 900 global food experts including chefs, restaurateurs, food writers, food critics and other well traveled gourmands have judged the awards, each choosing their top seven restaurants.
"We don't give them any criteria. It's entirely up to them," says Drew.
"So one judge might be looking for the perfect plate of food, another judge might be more influenced by the atmosphere and the vibe and the whole experience.
"We don't say it has to be about anything except the overall enjoyment of the restaurant," he says.
This year Japan leads Asia's 50 Best Restaurants with 10 of its dining establishments making it onto the list.
Singapore and Hong Kong both have eight restaurants in the top 50 and Mainland China has seven, including Robuchon au Dome in Macau.
Taiwan is represented on the list for the first time with Taichung City's Le Moût taking spot 24, and chef Lanshu Chen named Veuve Clicquot Asia's Best Female Chef.
Lanshu blends the local influences and ingredients she grew up with, with the French culinary traditions she later studied abroad.
Korea is also represented for the first time on the list, with Jungsik in Seoul named No.20.

Most large ring Mauser 98's are 1.1"-12 typically in a 1.400" receiver ring. This would give you a n average of .150 solid wall thickness, not including the depth of the threads. Small ring Mausers are .980"-12 in a smaller 1.300" receiver. They should have about a .160 wall plus the threads. We won't go into the large thread/small receiver or small thread/large ring variants here as they're a relative minority compared to the standard large and small ring configurations.
That said, .980"-12 should be fine for moderate sized cartridges like 250 Savage, 6.5x55mm Swede, 7x57mm Mauser and 35 Rem. This is per the "Mauser M98 & M96 How to build your favorite custom rifle" book by R.A. Walsh.
For the heavier loads you're talking about, you'll have to defer to someone more knowledgable than I.

Post up a pic!
I just got an AK47 mag in 7.62x39. It was supposed to be a 5.45 mag for a 74. The only markings I can see on it is 34"A" at the bottom of the left side. The "A" looks kind of like a tall skinney A, probably a letter from another language. I have never seen bakelite mags in 7.62x39.
Can anyone help me identify this mag?
Post up a pic!
Gunco Member #10
The "original" Boltcutter Rivet Squeezers:
Project Pink - the Pink and Blue AK-74:
Sounds like a Soviet bakelite. Well-made and look great on the right AK. Is it orange?
Does it look like this: http://www.ak-47.net/images/mags/7.6...n_bakelite.gif
I have a daughter. I tell her, "911 is what you dial after you're raped. 1911 is what you should have before they try."
If you hold the bottom of the right side just right and look through the ground off area you can see a star. So I guess it is a sanatized Tula?
I have images but I need to get an account somewhere to post images (photo bucket, etc). I need one that is gun friendly and works well with a SLOW connection. Any suggestions?
I use photobucket, though if you get your membership here past a certain point, your images can be hosted at Gunco, as well.
I like forum hosting best, if your remote picture host goes belly up or you delete an old pic the forum loses your contribution.
I only own one Soviet bakelite, a Tula from arsenal 33 B. These mags range in price from around $50-100.
I have a daughter. I tell her, "911 is what you dial after you're raped. 1911 is what you should have before they try."
acem, put the pic on your pc, when you reply use the "Go Advanced" button. Below were you type in your reply there's a black bar across the screen, below that is a button "Manage Attachments", hit that, then the "browse" button to find it on your pc, then hit "upload". This will load it right to the thread from your pc.
Here are the images. I could not see the images untill It was dark outside and I had the inside light. During the day I have the windows open and the light is diffues, at night the bulbs give more contrast making it easier to see through the grind mark.
Thanks for the info on how to upload pics!
The mag is used and is scratched up some (you can see it in the pics). Since this is a sanatized Tula mag should I be able to trade it for a 45rd 74 mag?
It's a Russian bakelite mag. IIRC, it filled a niche between the original Russian slabside mags and the ribbed mags. Well-used like that one appears to be, it's worth probably $40-50.
I have a daughter. I tell her, "911 is what you dial after you're raped. 1911 is what you should have before they try."
Your welcome.
I don't know much about all the mags out there, but I agree with SJ, you should beable to get that for it. Put a want to trade ad in the classifieds or sell it out right.
Good luck
These mags are real collectables. But, I just don't see them being worth so much? Good old steel blued Bulgarian mags are the best ones in the world.

No, didn't see it, but thanks for the heads up.
Keep the article you might need to scan it for some of us.
Anyone else see the article in the april 20th SGN about the suomi based 9mm rifle? It looks pretty straight forward and the guy said he built it for about $175. I'm sure I have a complete spare set of AR15 fire control parts which would bring the price down as well as various other scrap that could be used. I think I'll order 2 suomi kits and give it a try.
No, didn't see it, but thanks for the heads up.
Keep the article you might need to scan it for some of us.
Thanks for the heads-up. I haven't received my April 20 SGN yet.
I'm in luck, I already have the Soumi parts kits.
It just came in the mail friday. Heres a picture of what I'm talking about. The author Matthews built the receiver out of 1.25"x.120 wall thickness steel 4140 tubing which is the only thing I'm having difficulty finding at the moment. It ended up looking more like a S&W 76 than a suomi, but I think it might be adapted to fit in the Soumi stock. He made it use cheap sten mags and ar15 fire control parts. The only specialized tools you need are a lathe and a welder which I have.
Aircraft Spruce.com has the tubing you need, as well as other sizes that you might find handy for building certain firearms, like semi-auto Stens and etc.
Thanks for the info. I can't figure out why he didn't use the original Suomi barrel shroud on that design. He already had it so it would be free.
It was most likely easier to use a full length tube set-up. One thing for sure, with the .120 inch thick tube (heavy) there should be absolutely no kick.
The thickness of the tube was probably not the determining reason for choosing the tube, but was choosen instead for the I.D. of the tube. Just a guess on my part, tho.
Thats what I thought as well looking at the picture, but he used thinner walled 1-1/4"x .062" tubing for the barrel shroud. I was planning on trying to use the suomi shroud and if not then going the same route as he did. Some things I was thinking about was to use a different recoil system on one if I was going to use the suomi stock, possibly putting a rail on the top so you could put ar15 sights or a red dot on it, and moving the bolt handle forward. It looks neat though.
Perhaps my SGN issue will come in tomorrow. I am looking forward to seeing how the build is made. It does have my attention.
Thanks Moleman, that does look neat and I like the STEN mag idea, I got a few of them.

I've been looking through some photos in the gallery and I understand that Boba's cape hangs from one of the shoulder studs on his left shoulder but are these studs attached to the top of the collar armour or chest armour?
Also my armour is from BM and so made of resin - before I go at it with a drill any advice on the best way for a fellow bounty hunter to attach maybe a nail or something through the armour without it cracking? Thanks for your help ;)

Colombia is having its day in the sun. And not just because it sits square on top of the equator. Besides being named the number-two reader-recommended travel destination in The New York Times in 2010 (that's old news), it was also among National Geographic Traveler's Best Trips of 2012. And for good reason: From the resurgence of the historic Candelaria neighborhood of Bogotá; to the coffee plantations of Pereira, considered among the best in the world; to the dreamlike colonial town of Cartagena, which inspired some of author Gabriel Garcia Marquez's trademark magical realism, this culturally rich country of 46 million is the hottest destination of 2013.

When it comes to burning calories, most people want to get as much mileage out of their exercise as possible. For many, the more calories they burn, the better they feel about their workouts. While energy expenditure should not be the only measure of a good workout (remember, it's good for you and makes you feel pretty good, too), it is helpful to know what a given activity might be costing you in terms of calories.
A word of caution, though, about counting calories. Simply burning more calories will take you only so far down the road to better health. A well-balanced, low-fat diet, plenty of rest and a healthy attitude are also essential. And, of course, all things in moderation—even exercise.
The numbers on this chart correspond to how many calories individuals of various weights burn per minute during different activities. Simply multiply this number by how many minutes you perform a given activity. For example, a 160-pound man jogging will burn about 12.4 calories per minute, or 372 calories during a 30-minute jog.
There are a few things that you should keep in mind as you review this chart. With exercise, it really is true that you get out of it what you put into it. Simply showing up for class and going through the motions isn't going to do you much good. To get the most out of your exercise session, give it your all, even if your all is less than what others might be doing.
And don't forget to look for little ways to increase the number of calories you burn each day. You might be surprised to learn that it is possible to burn more calories simply by becoming more active in your daily life. Doing things like taking the stairs, parking farther from your destination and doing chores around the house are great ways to burn additional calories.
Two thousand steps equals approximately one mile of walking. By walking 10,000 steps a day, the average person will burn up to 3500 calories per week—roughly the caloric equivalent of 1 pound of fat. Visit www.shapeup.org for more information.

I have been keeping bees for several years and was just introduced to this forum by a friend in the maple syrup forum.
You have a great site and I will try to check in once in a while to get some tips.
Currently the bees are working goldenrod.
We have 10 hives at the present time.
I have met a lot of very nice bee keeper friends.
Looking forward to learning many things about bees from this forum. The pictures that folks post here are a great learning tool.

Is it like a regular AK retainer plater?
I remember seeing something about modding one to fit the S12, if I find it I'll post it.
Search didnt reveal anything so I will ask all of you.
I have a saiga 12 I have converted and I bought a power customs fire control group retaining plate. The plate just seems to high at the selector hole.
This will NOT go back together. I should have gotten a wire retainer....
any suggestions from those who have made it work?
Is it like a regular AK retainer plater?
I remember seeing something about modding one to fit the S12, if I find it I'll post it.
It is like the ak plate. The top edge above the selector has to be trimmed to clear the carrier but that is not what is killing me...
OK did some searching and hope I found what you need.
Got the pics and link at Saiga12.com, the BHO pic is in the thread, posting it in case it doesn't show up.
BHO Bolt Hold Open modification - forum.Saiga-12.com
also found this pic that shows the plate mods a little better, I know you said you got the plate to fit but I'm just passing on the info.
The first pic shows the modded plate on top of an unmodified one
I bet the notch in the BHO is what is needed to get the selector in...
I hope that is it.
I remember seeing a few posts about people having trouble with the retainer plate but that was the first one that had a good bit of info in it.


text: Obviously if a skater from the past (eg. Barbara Ann Scott) had been transported to the present, they would lose in competition with todays skaters. However if a skater from the present were transported into the past, would they still win the competitions? Note: In the days of Barbara Ann Scott, the rinks were outdoors. There were no Zamboni to smooth the ice, and Figures were worth 50% of the score (60% before 1947). It was reported Barbara loved doing Figures, and would practice them as much as 8 hours each day. I assume todays skaters don't practice Figures.

India's clumsy Internet crackdown
Indian Internet advocates and journalists are in an uproar this week over the news that the government has blocked access to around 300 websites, pages, and social media accounts in an effort to quell communal violence in the turbulent northeast. The rationale is that inflammatory online content has fanned tensions between Muslims and non-Muslims in states including Assam, Karnataka, Tamil Nadu, and Maharashtra, contributing to a mass exodus from the region and violence in other cities. The offending content included fabricated images of violence against Muslims, apparently circulated to incite retaliatory attacks, according to news reports.

From the Left Hand Corner: It is a taxing week
We are told that the only two certainties in life are death and taxes. It may be further stated that taxes are the most certain of the two, as we have been convinced by repeated personal experience.
Taxes, a rather boring subject at best, a costly one to all, will likely come to the public forefront this week as the hoopla over last week's issue subsides. It does make some sense to be talking about taxes since the issue has the most to say about how our government functions, and has the most overall direct effect on most all of us.
It is almost inevitable that taxes take over center stage this week as it is crunch time at the Legislature. This is the final scheduled week of the 2013 session, and a lot remains to be resolved.
We have had several months of input and exchange on tax issues, particularly since the governor came out with his first comprehensive budget proposal. There was immediate wailing and gnashing of teeth. Too much of the reaction has been fluff, and too little has been substance. There hasn't been much in the way of counter proposal, only criticism of what has been proposed.
Too much of our last five months have been illusion theater. There has been continuing resort to platitudes — "no new taxes," "tax and spend liberals," "overreaching," "spending problem," "cut out the fat" and "not sustainable" ad nauseum.
It is time to end the hypocrisy and showboating. You cannot keep every commitment and fund every campaign promise and do it all for less tax money. It just does not work that way, not any more for government than it does in our personal lives. It only works well to take in the money first and then spend only what you have.
The needs will not go away, and it's time to determine the amounts to be assessed to meet them, and provide the level of government that the majority of our society believes appropriate.
Our state income tax should most certainly be increased (some of us say restored) to pre-2000 levels, or perhaps a little more, to make up for the last decade of artificial cuts to education.
The governor says "2 percent on 2 percent," which is defensible, but we needn't single out just those select and fortunate few. An adjustment in income tax is appropriate for all who are fortunate enough to make more than they need for their own use. It is the fairest tax and the easiest to administer and collect, and to adjust up or down as changes in need occur.
Sin taxes are an attractive tax target and certainly defensible, but changes should not be extreme. Another nickel on gas tax is also defensible, since we went 20-plus years with no change. Then, after the hue and cry about how a nickel or dime would virtually stop all driving in Minnesota, it was adjusted a few cents and nobody noticed.
As an aside, compare it to the 40 or 50 cents Big Oil has kicked the price in the last few weeks before Memorial Day travel.
The proposed broadening of sales tax is more problematic. There, good argument is available to both pro and con. Tax on so-called business to business sounds good to everyone except those who will have to pay it or collect it. The same is true for proposals like $5 on each insurance policy for some specific funding.
I have no love for insurance companies and no objection to the expenditure, but requiring a private entity to collect tax $5 at a time doesn't sound entirely fair, and not very efficient even in our increasingly tech world.
Overall, I'm most certainly not advocating all of the above, but only observing that a lot is left under consideration for the very few days left. I hope the debate can be brief and reasoned, as various proposals are adopted, amended or discarded. I hope that enough total is assessed to provide some stability for the future, and some immediate reduction in the heretofore not mentioned property tax for overburdened local government units reliant upon it.
Let's be optimistic. Hopefully, Minnesotans will see the situation we are in for what it is, and, at least grudgingly, accept that substantial increase is the price we need to pay to get our beloved state back on a better track.
It is time to bring a halt to the shortchanging of vulnerable government functions just to look good politically, and to pretend that we were balancing budgets that weren't.
As it is time to provide some additional income to state coffers, it is also overdue time for accountability. It is time to end the sleight of hand, and to make all payment from tax dollars (and any accruals) in open, reportable and understandable fashion.


text: I was so surprised today when I went into my backyard hive. I looked down in the top medium and saw a bunch of white capped comb. First frame, fourth frame, eighth frame....tenth! Woo hoo! I took 8 frames that weighed in at a total of 35 pounds, so I am guessing 30-ish pounds of honey when it's all said and done. Although it's winter here in CA, we had heavy rain in December and then nothing for most of January. I guess with all the great flying weather and water in the ground, the girls put it on while I wasn't paying attention. This is my first winter honey crop. Yes!

This example of this expression has nothing to do with cocaine. It refers to the practice of enlightening one's own olfactory senses by inserting one's nose into the posterior orifice of another person or persons. Could be refered to as brown nosing, but does not carry the same reasoning behind the act ifself. It is purely for sensual pleasure.
Cheryl thinks I enjoy going down on her , but I'm really snortin crack while I'm eatin the kootch. She was puzzled when I mentioned that she'd had chineese last night. I love sniffin that butt just after she's taken a fresh dump.

Dog Sled Adventures owned and operated by Jeff Ulsamer since 1979
See video documentary about
Dog Sledding, cruising the backcountry....
Join us for one of life's great adventures; cruising the backcountry of northwest Montana pulled by Alaskan sled dogs.
We're a family-friendly outfit. Our customers range in age from babies to eighties. With nearly 100 Alaskan huskies to pull our safe, comfy sleds, we can handle families or groups of any size.
America's great wilderness...
Tuck yourself into a soft, warm sled and let us guide you through one of America's great wildernesses. The vast, scenic Stillwater State Forest begins at our doorstep, on the western flank of world-famous Glacier National Park, just north of the winter resort of Whitefish, Montana in the magnificent Flathead Valley.
You can ski any day. But not every day is a chance for a truly unique journey by dog sled. We'll carve powder and catch air as we fly through the woods. There's a good chance you'll see the northern country's rarest wildlife or signs of-something you'll never see on the slopes. When we return, you can warm your toes by the fire in our cabin, sip hot cocoa, and munch on homemade cookies as we exchange "Tall Tails".
Then you can move on to the alpine and Nordic skiing on The Big Mountain or don your snowshoes for backcountry travel beyond the slopes. When you return home, you can honestly tell your friends and family that this was: "The Highlight Of Your Vacation!"
Be a part of the scenery...
Some people like to look at the scenery - we like to be a part of it. So come join us for a unique dog sledding adventure and a doggone good time.
For reservations Call 1-406-881-BARK (2275)
Please visit the other pages on this website to learn more about us and have fun reading our guestbook with testimonials from many of our thrilled customers.

Woodtick Wheelers named 'Club of the Year' by national organization
The Woodtick Wheelers ATV/OHM Club of Hackensack has received national recognition for its work promoting safe and responsible riding of ATVs and other off-highway vehicles (OHVs) The National Off-Highway Vehicle Conservation Council (NOHVCC) named the Woodtick Wheelers "Club Of The Year" at its annual conference in mid-October.
"They continually are working," said Dan Kleen, NOHVCC president, while presenting the award. "The list of things they've done is too long to even read, and I don't care where you go in Minnesota or anywhere, they are 'world renowned' for their work on ATV safety."
NOHVCC is a national service organization that provides a wide spectrum of programs, materials and informational "tools" to OHV clubs, associations and state agencies in order to build sustainable trails that protect natural resources, and create a positive future for safe and responsible OHV recreation.
The Woodtick Wheelers used the organization's "Club Startup Kit" when it formed in 2009, and since then has used other NOHVCC "tools" to promote ATV safety and responsible riding at events across Cass County and the state of Minnesota. This year, thanks to a monetary donation from the Hackensack Lions Club and American Legion Post 202, the club purchased 2,000 "Adventure Trail" activity books and crayon boxes and distributed them to families in the Hackensack/Longville area, through local restaurants, businesses, chambers of commerce and the Cass County Sheriff's Department. The coloring book and crayons were created by NOHVCC to help educate children and their parents about the importance of riding the proper size ATV, wearing a helmet, trail etiquette when meeting hikers and horseback riders, and other "golden rules" of OHV recreation. The Woodtick Wheelers also hold youth ATV safety classes in the area, completing its latest class on Oct. 19 at the Walker Area Community Center, instructing and testing 20 local youths ages 11-15 so they could obtain their Minnesota DNR ATV certification. The club has a dozen DNR-certified Trail Ambassadors who monitor local trails on the weekends, and has an ATV Safety Education trailer it brings to club and community events, as well as local trailheads.
The Woodtick Wheelers ATV/OHM Club now has over 350 members, including 28 local business sponsors. For more information on the club, visit WoodtickWheelers.com. To learn more about NOHVCC and the ATV safety-education materials it makes available to clubs, schools and youth organizations, visit nohvcc.org.

Hey everyone, went out today with a fellow DHC member who was kind enough to take me out and show me the ropes this season, and it all came together perfectly. We heard him gobble a few hundred yards away so we went across the field and into the timber, called one more time and when he responded we moved closer to him and set up. I had brought my camera just in case and I just got lucky to be in a spot where I could put the camera on the log I was hiding behind so I just turned it on and hit record. The shot wasnt very centered in the camera but I'm very happy with how it turned out. Its about 5 minutes long. the turkey weighed somewhere around 20lbs we guessed and had a 10in beard and probably 3/4in spurs. Im definitely hooked on this now. If anyone knows how to embed the video I can't figure it out but the link is at the bottom of the page. Let me know what you think. thanks!

For a feminist view on the IGF
BAKU, Azerbaijan, 12 November 2012 (GenderIT.org)
The 7th Internet Governance Forum (IGF) just drew to a close. Many views and analyses were published, most of them adopting a technical point of view. If you are interested in a slightly different take on the world's most important internet governance encounter, consider reading up on GenderIT.org's reports on gender peripheries of the IGF that reflect on critical internet public policy issues for women's and sexual rights advocates. It among others also highlight on internet rights issues faced by women in Azerbaijan.

Ugly CBA negotiations? The NHL? Get out of town
|08.10.12 at 4:40 pm ET
Negotiations for new collective bargaining agreements tend to get messy, and NHL CBA negotiations (at least recently), tend to result in lockouts. Unfortunately, the news is that there haven't been any surprises thus far.
Earlier this week, NHL Players' Association head Donald Fehr said that a counterproposal to the league's first offer was forthcoming, with it later being determined that folks can expect it to be delivered next Tuesday. The counterproposal is highly anticipated, as the league's first offer was shocking — it called for an 11-percent giveback of hockey-related revenue on the players' part, the end of arbitration, and a five-year limit on contracts, among other stipulations. When the NHLPA asked for more financial particulars before countering, the league buried them with some 76,000 pages of documents from the various teams.
Games technically could have been played if a new agreement wasn't reached by Sept. 15, the expiration of the current CBA, but on Thursday commissioner Gary Bettman crushed the dreams of any fans hoping for that.
"We reiterated to the union that the owners will not play another year under the current agreement," Bettman told reporters Thursday. "I re-confirmed something that the union has been told multiple times over the last nine to 12 months. Namely, that the time is getting short and the owners are not prepared to operate under this collective bargaining agreement for another season so we need to get to making a deal and doing it soon. And we believe there's ample time for the parties to get together and make a deal and that's what we're going to be working towards."
The players didn't exactly dig any of that chatter. Here's Henrik Lundqvist's reaction, via twitter:
"The @NHL says they won't play past Sept 15th under current deal. Apparently they don't like the deal they designed. #CBA #nhlpa2012″
And Brandon Prust's:
"Disappointed the League is talking about a lockout before we even give our @NHLPA counterproposal"
The bottom line is that nothing — neither Bettman's comments or players' reactions — should be surprising. No CBA by Sept. 15 equals a lockout . The only thing learned thus far is that this will get messy. Unfortunately with the NHL, everyone should have already known that.

text: So I am off camping in the small town of Washington, Ma. Upon arrival the public road leading in is undergoing repair. What a terrible ride in... Had to drive a couple miles listening to the sound of hundreds of small pebbles flying into the side of the truck. I could even see them going past the passenger side window through the air. Well what really ticks me off is now I am here and the truck plastered with small strands of tar all down the sides. Im pretty peeved that the town would feel it is acceptable to leave the road like this over a 90degree weekend. Someone was telling me that if I contact city hall and complain about it they will most likely have me drop the truck at a detail shop and will foot the bill. I'm really hoping this is the case because I can see it easily taking hours to get this crap off. I'll post some pics of it when I get home tonight. so what do you guys think? Would you call to complain as well or just suck it up and spend a few hours scrubbing tar off?

Leaf pack study of decomposition, Tagliamento River, Italy
Fine mesh and course mesh screening enclosing experimental leaves allows researchers to determine the importance of insect and other macro-invertebrates on the decomposition of the leaves. Fine mesh screens allow just microbes to colonize and decompose the leaves, while coarse screens also allow the larger organisms in to feed on the material. The leaf packs are placed in the stream for several weeks to measure the weight loss and chemical changes of the leaves. In this case, only punched disks of leaves are being used to help standardize the experiment. Photo, Tagliamento River, Italy, March 2006.

Vurdering av denne eiendommen
Me and a friend had a great trip to Lyon watching the Uefa Euro 2016.
We stayed 2 days and nights in this flat.
I can absolutely recommend this one.
The flat lies quite central, not far away from the subway and the train station.
It was clean and the beds were prepared.
It has a kitchen, a small bathroom and all essentials
you could wish for on a short trip.
Philippe is a very nice guy, who even picked us up at the station and gave as a few hints about the city. He also helped us on the phone when we had problems locking the door. If you're not from France ask for the locking mechanism, it seems to be a french speciality. ;)
Lyon is a beatiful city and this is a nice little flat you should reconsider for your stay.
We had a great time in Lion and we were very happy with Felippe and the apartment. Great place and lovely.
Absolutely fantastic. Owned by a lovely couple who went out of their way to pick us up at Lyon airport late at night. Apartment is well located and would recommend.
Good apartment.Clean and full furnished.Internal building in Very poor conditions and too much dirty.Very Nice Owner
We liked it very much but it would be nice if there were a possibility to hang up wet clothes. It was a bit loud.
Philippe was very nice. He picked us up at the station Lyon Part Dieu, which was very thoughtful of him. And he gave us some insider information about the city.
You guys have got such a wonderful apartment. Cosy, comfortable and nicely equipped. Well located, near le parc de la Tete d'Or. Thank you for everything.
Philippe and his wife have been lovely and charming; really open to help us: he picked up us at the station and took us to the flat (despite of the fact it is really near to the station if you are arriving from the airport – 15 minutes walking-). Once we were there, they suggested places for eating, visiting and walking around the city. The flat was really clean, tidy and with a lot of light. It is much better than how it looks in the pictures!! We were four guys and we felt really comfortable. Our experience was really awesome! We totally recommended it!
Philippe et son épouse étaient très agréables et très sympathique; très ouvert à aider avec tout: paco venu nous chercher à la gare et nous a emmenés en voiture à l'appartement (l'appartement est très proche de la station si vous venez de l'aéroport -15 minutes de marche) Ils ont suggéré "spots" pour manger, visiter et marcher. l'appartement était très propre et bien range. Ce est beaucoup mieux que ça en al'air en images!! Notre expérience a été très positive!! Nous le recommandons fortement!!
Philippe et sa femme sont dès personne très gentille qui nous on bien accueilli! L'appartement est très bien placé, et tres bien équipé, on ne manque de rien! Il est propre et assez grand pour 4 personnes.
Merci beaucoup pour sa flexibilité aussi au niveau de la remise des clefs. Je recommande ce logement.

You know how most people say about awards "It's enough just to be nominated?" Well, I think most people are fibbing! Sure, it's TOTALLY true that it's a distinct honor to be nominated! Especially for a crowdsourced award like the International Edublogs Award! I also gotta argue with the (mis)quote from the cinematic oeuvre Blazing Saddles "We don't need no stinkin badges" - because yes, YES we do! Oooh shiny shiny! Maybe it's because I was kicked out of the girl scouts for talking too much in 5th grade - I just can't help but love the monetarily free but oh so personally rewarding little square .jpeg badges that shows that my contemporaries & colleagues feel that we and what we're doing matter! So yeah, WOW! I can't help but be psyched that I was nominated for Best Librarian/Library blog! That's totally mind-blowing, humbling, and a true honor! And sure - I could be all "I don't care if we win" but that would be disingenuous, and why the heck not try to win!?? LOL Do you think that Lady GaGa doesn't want to win the Grammy? Do you think that ANYone nominated for an OSCAR doesn't wanna get that sweet shiny gold statue? HA! It's human nature!

Student Conduct Board
Rhode Island College is an academic community, dedicated to the advancement of learning. As such, it has a special purpose and only those activities, which are reasonably related to the achievement of that purpose are proper. The members of this community freely associate themselves with it, and in doing so, affirm their commitment to a philosophy of mutual tolerance and respect.
The Council of Rhode Island College created the Student Conduct Board, composed of students, faculty and administration. It has authority to establish, publish and implement procedures for adjudicating alleged misconduct by students. It is further authorized to hear and adjudicate charges against individual students and student organizations. It has original jurisdiction for all cases but is permitted to delegate responsibility to other persons and bodies. In fact, most cases will be heard by others under the delegation and the Board will serve as the final campus appeal Board, subject only to the legal authority of the president. Details regarding the composition and authority can be found in Article IX of the Charter of the Council of Rhode Island College in the College Handbook.
The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) is a federal regulation that protects the privacy of student education records. Once a student reaches age 18 OR attends a school beyond high school (which means all students at RIC), the parent no longer has right of access to education records unless the student has signed a waiver. New students are offered the waiver option at orientation, and waiver forms are available in OASIS. For more information, please see the Records Office statement on FERPA.

Compare Juvenile attorneys near you. Read reviews, see Avvo Ratings, and contact them directly.
Juvenile law applies to young children and teenagers—usually defined as less than eighteen years old, depending on the state. Minors accused of breaking the law are processed under a juvenile justice system. This system is completely separate from the one used for adults, and the penalties involved are usually far less severe than in the adult system. Juvenile law also carries certain protections that do not apply to adults; for example, names are kept confidential and parents can be present during police questioning. A lawyer who specializes in juvenile law will help minors understand the juvenile justice system and present their defense in juvenile court.

I was pleased to be part of a panel discussion Tuesday called "Getting There from Here: Moving Data Science into the Boardroom," moderated by Alistair Croll with colleagues Chris Selland of HP Vertica and Scott Chastain of SAS Institute. This panel was part of O'Reilly's Strata Conference Data-Driven Business Day.
It's amazing to see how the Strata Conference has changed over the last couple of years. With big data becoming truly operational across many different industries, companies are now looking at how to manage, blend and analyze data to make profitable business decisions and fly past competitors.
One interesting topic we debated was whether being able to process, analyze and predict outcomes with all this data might drive conformity and 'dull' innovation. Will we become so reliant on predictive algorithms and models that we lose confidence in our intuition and not apply enough business judgment into our decision-making?
In preparing, reflecting on these and other burning questions before the panel, I was inspired by the athletes competing in the Sochi Winter Olympics. Sage Kotsenburg, who won the Gold medal in 'Slopestyle' snowboarding, managed to blend creativity and style with calculated risk-taking. He had the same data as everyone else in the competition: the course terrain and conditions, the strengths and weaknesses of his competitors, historical trends on how the judges rate different types of athletic feats and other information. Armed with this data and his ability to (literally!) analyze it 'on the fly,' he then layered on his intuition to bust some totally unexpected moves, such as the 'Holy Crail', that blew the judges away! This demonstrates that being analytical doesn't come at the expense of using intuition – the two actually strengthen each other. This New York Times pictorial is a great explanation of Sage's blend of creativity, style and calculated risk-taking.
Let's explore further how this relates to business decision-making, data science and big data analytics. Consider how the best business and operational managers make decisions:
- They assess the competitive landscape – which are the other key players? What are their strengths and weaknesses (innovation, execution, service)? How have they historically gained customers and grown their businesses? What might they do in the future based on their historical moves?
- They assess what customers will want to reward/buy (the criteria the 'judges' will use to assess performance). Some of that seems obvious based on what criteria they specified, but often what a customer truly wants is more subtle and personal. Some want to be inspired, while others want to remove risk. Some would like to be a hero to their end users, while others value having a 'cool-factor' in their product.
- They take stock in their company's strengths and weaknesses to determine how to best meet customers' needs. Every company has its own 'DNA' or approach, just like every Olympic athlete. Are you great at execution (so go for technical perfection)? Flexible and creative (so showcase the art of the possible)?
- They apply business judgment to determine how to take advantage of the opportunities they see – often needing to make a change 'on the fly' based on new data…just like Sage decided to create a new move on the fly to change the rules of the game during that particular meet.
