Long droughts and heat waves have left Texas and Oklahoma parched this summer. The hot, dry conditions, combined with increasing winds, fueled the wildfires that broke out in parts of both states on Tuesday. The blazes destroyed thousands of acres and dozens of homes. The source of the wildfires is still unknown. "We're in severe drought conditions, so just the tiniest little spark can start a wildfire," says April Saginor, a spokesperson for Texas Forest Service.
Destructive Paths
In a northern section of Texas, a fast-moving wildfire began on Tuesday and spread across 3,500 acres by the afternoon. A temperature of 106 degrees Fahrenheit, with winds gusting up to 28 mph, only added fuel to the flames. At least 20 homes were destroyed and 125 more are still threatened in Possum Kingdom Lake, a lakeside community in northern Texas.
The flames and heavy smoke forced a shut down of part of a Texas state highway. At least three people, including two firefighters, suffered minor injuries, according to officials. Some of the affected acres had already burned during a previous wildfire this past spring that destroyed more than 160 homes in Texas.
Also on Tuesday, flames broke out in a heavily wooded area of Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. Oil-packed cedar trees quickly ignited as the blaze spread across 5,000 acres of the city's rural outskirts, according to fire officials. Hundreds of residents were evacuated and about 20 homes destroyed. Utility poles also lit up, leaving more than 7,000 homes and business without power. Four people, including two firefighters, were treated for minor injuries. With the help of air tankers and helicopters, the fire was largely contained by Tuesday night.
More to Come?
In Texas, firefighters are still working to contain blazes, and persistent weather conditions aren't helping. Winds predicted for Wednesday in both states could reignite flames, fire officials warn. "The conditions are similar to what they were yesterday," Oklahoma City Fire Chief Keith Bryant said. "The winds are going to get up. They're already gusting. That'll be our concern on the fires that are still smoldering."
Police and fire officials will work together to determine when evacuated residents can safely return to their homes.

A woman was killed and another person injured Saturday morning after a pickup truck lost control and went off a freeway ramp between Burbank and Glendale.
The California Highway Patrol said the single-vehicle crash on the ramp from the Golden State (5) freeway to the Ventura (134) freeway was reported at 9:23 a.m.
The Ford F-150 pickup overturned after it went off the road. A police dispatcher said it was not clear whether the woman killed was the driver or a passenger.
The truck crashed through a guardrail and landed in a stand of trees.
The ramp was closed while police investigated, and traffic was affected until about 1:30 p.m., when a Sig Alert ended, police said.

The National Rifle Association Tuesday issued a statement extending its condolences to the victims of the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting in Newtown, Conn, and announcing it will hold a "major" news conference on Dec. 21.
"The National Rifle Association of America is made up of four million moms and dads, sons and daughters - and we were shocked, saddened and heartbroken by the news of the horrific and senseless murders in Newtown," the statement read.
The release also explained the NRA's removal of its Facebook page, the silence of its Twitter account and its leadership's refusal to speak to the press in the aftermath of the Friday attack that left 20 children and six adults dead. "Out of respect for the families, and as a matter of common decency, we have given time for mourning, prayer and a full investigation of the facts before commenting."
The nation's largest firearms advocacy group also stated that it was willing to make "reasonable contributions to help make sure this never happens again."
The NRA's response so far is similar to those following previous mass shootings.

Bully special is a type of cocktail that became a favourite of UK gamblers in the late 90's to either celebrate winning - or drown sorrows when losing. It consists of 3 parts scotch, 3 parts Absynth, 2 parts pineapple juice and 1 part rum. It is quite vile in taste, expensive and very bad for the consumers health. They are sometimes served lit on fire for dramatic affect.
Ian went to the bar and asked Dave what he fancied, Dave said come on then, get me a Bully Special. They both ended up in the local jail later that night!

Rep. John Delaney Meets with Delegation; Discusses Priorities
ANNAPOLIS, MD - Congressman John Delaney, who's been serving Maryland's 6th congressional district for about a month now, met with the Western Maryland Delegation Thursday morning in Annapolis.
Making sure people in Western Maryland are able to find work is one of the goals for Delaney.
"My priorities for Western Maryland is first of all to do a really good job representing them on whatever issues they care about," Delaney (D) says. "There's a lot of issues across both Western Maryland and Montgomery County but also to work on the issue I've been passionate around from the beginning, which is job creation."
Another hot topic at the meeting was gun control. Delaney says he supports President Obama's proposals to ban assault weapons and high capacity magazine clips.
"I'm supportive of the president's efforts, but I do think it's a broader issue as well," Delaney says. "I think there's a mental health component, and I think there's things we have to do around the violence in society in general."
Those things include limiting violence in video games, which is something the delegation agreed on.
"The congressman I think was accurate about video games and the desensitization that it has on particularly our youth and how some of that goes on, but we're running into certain impediments in making sure the background checks can be done properly," says Sen. David Brinkley, (R) - Frederick County.
Brinkley says HIPPA laws prohibit sharing some information during background checks.
Delegate LeRoy Myers, Jr., chairman of the delegation, doesn't think assault weapons should be banned.
"More killings have been done with hammers than have been done with assault weapons in the country, and what is an assault weapon? Is it a knife? Is it a screwdriver? I believe they're trying to target one specific weapon because it sounds good," says Myers, (R) - Allegany and Washington Counties.
Some other major issues the delegation and Delaney discussed include drilling for natural gas and immigration reform.
Delaney is also asking FEMA for emergency assistance for Garrett County after Hurricane Sandy ravaged the area.
"Garrett County was hit extremely hard by Hurricane Sandy and the people of Western Maryland will remember this storm and the damage it did for a long time," Delaney says. "Of specific concern to me is that at least 23 homes were damaged by the storm and without the Individual Assistance designation from FEMA, these residents and homeowners will not be able to receive federal assistance."
Maryland Governor Martin O'Malley requested FEMA assistance for Garrett County on December 12, but that request was denied.


text: While dairy operations become more efficient and populations grow, the objective is to see consumption of dairy products increase, which ensures a strong long-term demand for our nutrient-rich products. While we often hear about those that are lactose-intolerant and claim they cannot consume any dairy products, there is a chance to add dairy to their balanced diets. There is a great misunderstanding between lactose intolerance and lactose maldigestion. Lactose maldigestion is a decline (not a total absence) in the digestinal activity of lactase, the enzyme needed to digest milk sugar. When the body has consumed more lactose than the body has the ability to digest and absorb, the result is abdominal pain, bloating, flatulence, and diarrhea, known as lactose intolerance. A small portion of dairy to a lactose maldigestive person will not cause problems; however, overdosing on dairy can make a person feel the effects. Diagnosing oneself with lactose intolerance is not recommended and can lead to a diet that is short on the valuable nutrients in dairy products. Also, self-diagnosing may result in the true cause of a condition being overlooked. In a study of adolescent girls who self-diagnosed their lactose intolerance and, therefore, restricted their dairy product consumption had lower spinal mineral content, and this lower bone mass can contribute later in life to osteoporosis. The eating behaviors developed at a young age can have adverse effects on long-term health. It is estimated that 25 percent of the U.S. adult population and 75 percent of the world's population are lactose maldigesters. However, the true numbers of those that are lactose maldigesters and lactose intolerant is still debated. Consuming dairy products has helped to reduce the risk of several major diet-related chronic diseases such as hypertension, kidney stones, and colon cancer. Dairy products can also help maintain a healthy weight and avoid osteoporosis. For those who have difficulties consuming dairy products due to the lactose, there are some dairy products that are low in lactose and, therefore, when consumed in small amounts can allow dairy enjoyment. To improve tolerance, yogurt, Cheddar, Parmesan, Colby, and Swiss cheeses, kefir (fermented milk), and lactose-free milk can be consumed. Repeated exposure to small portions (less than ½ cup of milk) to slightly larger portions can help the colon adapt to the lactose being consumed. (Rice and soy beverages, which contain no lactose, do not contain the nutrient content of cow's milk.) Health care professionals play an important role in correctly diagnosing the condition and can recommend dairy foods in the diet for those sensitive to lactose. In very rare cases babies are born with very low or no lactase in their intestines. The majority of those with lactase deficiencies are temporary (which can also be from cancer radiation, medications, or illnesses). The range of symptoms vary with each person. Consuming dairy products with meals or with solid foods can slow the time it takes the undigested lactose to reach the colon, and, therefore, limit the effects. In the future, we (yes, we!) need to increase consumption by reaching new people as dairy consumers. Individuals should avoid self-diagnosis and become educated on lactose maldigestion and intolerance. Do you know someone who does not consume dairy products because of the lactose? Maybe someone in your church, the parent of your child's classmate, the lady behind you at the grocery store chatting about her soy beverage. . . Are their diets medically driven or simply a personal preference? We all have choices, but it is important to have the facts before making important health decisions. And, if they discover they are simply unable to handle large amounts of dairy with lactose, they can begin consuming dairy in small portions. And where there was previously no consumer, we now have one more. For more information on this topic, click to the National Dairy Council's page on Lactose Intolerance. The page contains several resource materials and facts sheets.

Commander in Chief or Nanny Michelle's Fruit Picker?
Original post made by Tea Party Dave, Another Pleasanton neighborhood, on Mar 19, 2013
At 10:40 a.m. Tuesday, the @BarackObama Twitter feed posted a tweet that said "Snack time" along with a photo of two small children picking up apples from a bowl in the Oval Office.
First "Lady" Michelle Obama, who has been on a disgraceful national nanny tour to discuss childhood obesity, is shown sitting with the toddlers in the photo, holding her own apple. In the photo, there is a conspicuous absence of corporate brands or labels. All the food is fruit; no Mars Bars or Snickers or Baby Ruths, thereby illustrating the socialist takeover of the White House.
The president is seen chatting in the background. It looks like he's just been out in the Rose Garden picking apples off the ground.
While the president is tweeting about apples and political fights, the families of seven marines tragically killed Monday in a training exercise are mourning their loss. A genuine Commander-in-Chief would have been flying on his own dime to Nevada to investigate the explosion. But no, he's too preoccupied giving the White House a socialist makeover. I'm embarrassed to admit not only is this the worst president since Jimmy Carter, but he's also leaving the entire population exposed to malfunctioning armaments scattered throughout every part of this country. Mr. President, tear down your socialist façade and repair our military!

Hope those apples are kosher, since barry is now visiting Israel for the first time in his 5 years in office. He should bring his wookie with him to chastise those overweight Israelis who are too preoccupied trying to defend their homeland to monitor their caloric intake.
I'm sure it won't be long before barry will be campaigning to cease the production of 60 mm shells because he's so concerned about the welfare of the military that he and chuckles hagel are dismantling

How is the First Lady's anti-obesity campaign any different than Laura Bush's campaign to get more kids reading, or any other campaigns by first ladies. I think this started with Lady Bird Johnson's push to get billboards off highways.

I think it started with Jackie Kennedy's campaign to keep Marilyn Monroe out of the White House.
... and I'm pretty sure Michelle and Barack don't have that problem. Not that they get any credit from their most fundamental foes for being happily married.

Ladies and Gentlemen! Please, allow us to represent the best satellite signal receiving devices with a wide scope of unique features:
If you consider to buy satellite receiver, whether for TV watching or Internet connection, production of PTG shall be the really right choice!!!
Company's headquarters are located in Shenzhen (China). DVB-S/S2 devices Prof are being tested with the help of satellites Astra, Hotbird, Sirius and others.
The Prof Tuners Group production is well-known for its high quality and operation reliability. All DVB-devices are produced from high-quality components at the high-technology circuit boards manufacturing facilities in China (Shenzhen). The circuit boards go through the whole testing cycle and presales preparation before releasing them for sale.
DVB represents a hardware-software complex device. It means that both PCB and software are used for the required task perfomance. PTG Engine software kernel consists of drivers.
According to many users, drivers are deemed as "configuration files" and nothing else. Such files make the computer able to identify a device. User imagines, that having plugged the device and ran a computer, he/she had to install the "configuration file" usually called "driver" to let the system see a new hardware, because until that, the operational system cannot work with the device.
In fact, driver does not configurate the device but drives it, which means operation of DVB-devices (including chips) on a basic level. All the modern domestic DVB-cards have a "program processing of the flow" parameter. This means that such DVB-cards receive a satellite signal (i.e. PCI, PCI-E, USB traffic flow) and transfer the data to the computer operational memory (through PCI, PCI-E, or USB interface). Driver program carries out the main data processing.
Unfortunately, the method applied to standard definition television(SDTV) is not applicable in such a case. You will not achieve an appropriate image quality having just plugged DVB-card into computer slot and set up "some" codecs for h.264. Perhaps, your DVB-card will start operate but either an image will be displayed separately from sound or it will be blurred and indistinct along with skiping the frames and even whole separate scenes.
This article is written in order to focus the users on that why it is so necessary to use h.264 hardware codec to receive satellite TV in high definition. The following explanations will show you that hardware codec allows the satellite TV receiver users to get better image than software codec does and fully enjoy the quality of high definition.
So, you already have your DVB-card installed on PC or connected via USB-cable (of course, you had followed all the operation rules of the device and performed all the actions when the power was switched off) After that, you have installed the latest DVB-card driver. And possibly you already have watch the satellite TV with the help of DVBDream or AltDVB. Now you have decided to make the single-sided (simplex) system for satellite Internet reception through such multi-media device as DVB-card. If the antenna is already tuned to satellite desired by you, the converter is connected to the antenna, the cable links the converter with DVB-card and you have subscribed to the correspondent satellite provider, then you only have to install an additional software and set it up correctly.
Upon the demand of authors of satellite theme devoted articles, the "secret statistics" box as been added. This statistics allows you, for example, to identify the stream loading. It can be useful if you want to write a satellite providers reviews, and make ratings of providers and transponders.
The "secret statistics" window is opened by pressing the CTRL+T keys. At that moment, the IP DATA window shall be active.
PTG's warranty obligations are limited by the following terms and conditions: This Prof Tuners Group Ltd. ("PTG") hardware product is guaranteed against the workmanship and materials defects for a ONE (1) YEAR period from the original date of retail purchase. In the case of defect existence, PTG will, at its sole discretion: (1) repair the product for free, using new or recovered parts for replacement, (2) provide the product exchange with a new product or with the one manufactured from new or serviceable parts and functionally is at least equivalent to the original product, or (3) refund the product's purchasing price. When a part or product is exchanged, any replaced item becomes the property of PTG and the replacement item becomes the property of yours. When you receive a refund, the product becomes the property of PTG.
AltDVB: was the absolute leader. It has the fastest scanner from all DVB players in tests. This success is mostly because of great Prof device interface Dev_Prof.int written by Prof Tuners Team.
DVBDream 1.4i: scanning was slow to compare with other DVB players. Also at my configuration it was more unstable. When scanning Astra it hung up at 12,012V (PsiParser error) and I needed to scan again. Also it hangs up almost always when I tried to close it (window disappears, but dvbdream.exe stayed in the process manager for next 5-8 minutes. I was not able to cancel this process - 5-8 minutes to wait, until it closed on its own). Also I had tested DVBDream with original BDA interface, and BDA_ALL interface made by ScanMan. First was even worse than version from Prof, second had similar results. At the end I even tried to DVBDream 1.5 beta 7, but that also didnt help - DVBDream scanner was not very fast or it just failed at my configuration.
Also to be clear: DVBDream had no problems with locking frequencies etc. Speed problem was caused just by the scanner because it (in my opinion) analyzed PMT table too long. White progress bar in PMT field goes to the end but anyway DVBDream waited for PMT timeout and because of that scanned every frequency, even if lock was in less than 100ms was done in not less than 5-6 seconds... That is the reason why scanning in DVBDream was slow.
SmartDVB: very good result, scanning is fast and very precise.
ProgDVB: slow, slow, slow... But that was not a surprise for me. It is just slow when scanning with any DVB card. But channel switching is blazing-fast! ProgDVB doesn't have a transponders editor built in. It updates frequencies when scanning by obtaining necessary data from Transport Stream of other active frequencies. Because of that in fact ProgDVB started with 99 transponders on Hot Bird but finally updated this value to 105. Similar was on Astra - from 83 to 85.
DVBViewer: good fast scanning, also many options, extended but easy configuration, very stable.
All DVB players were tested with standard settings. There were no changes made with timeouts for tables in DVB Transport Stream.
CE marking (also known as CE mark) is a mandatory conformance mark on many products marketed in the European Economic Area (EEA). CE abbreviation stands for conformité européenne, French for "European conformity". CE is affixed to a product on a sole responsibility of manufacturer, and declares that the product meets the safety, health and environmental requirements established in EU.
It should be noted that the RoHS doesn't cover the batteries. However, in Europe, batteries production is regulated by the Battery Directive (91/157/EEC[4]), whose scope has recently been increased and approved in the form of the new Battery Directive, which highlights the environment protection from the negative effects of the waste contained in batteries. It also contains an industrial, automotive, and consumer batteries recycling program, significantly increasing the share of manufacturer-provided waste collection sites up to 45% until 2016. It also sets limits of mercury and cadmium at 5 ppm and 20 ppm reapectively, for all batteries, except those used in emergency, medical, or cordless power-tool devices.[6] Though it does not setting quantitative limits on nickel, nickel-cadmium, lead, and lead-acid in batteries, it indicates a need to restrict these substances and ensurre the recycling of up to 75% of batteries containing these ones as well as there are provisions for marking the batteries with symbols regarding to metal content in the battery and recycling information.

I was sewing some webbing recently, and my Elna was doing just fine, whizzing through the work (a bit too quickly…). I used the reverser, and hand-turned the machine for a few stitches, after which everything went rather stiff, and the motor struggled to turn the mechanism, even without any material under the needle.
I've removed the shuttle, etc, but the mechanism is still very stiff.
Does anyone have any suggestions as to what might have gone wrong, or useful service guides? The manual for the machine doesn't mention this problem in its troubleshooting section…
It's an Elna 2000 or 3000 model, circa hmmm… 1998, although it's not had a huge amount of use over the years (the occasional outdoor projects, and a best man's waistcoat…)
I'm suspicious that something has slipped in the mechanism alignment.
Thanks in advance.Feb 12, 2013 at 10:48 am #1953547

Don't you hate when that happens?
My sewing machine does that once per year or so. You just have to clean the thing out.

yeah, also check the handwheel.
This problem — thread getting wrapped around the hook or its shaft — is one of the reason you should never turn the hand wheel the wrong way.Feb 12, 2013 at 4:27 pm #1953697

Srip the bobbin mech down.
CheersFeb 12, 2013 at 7:10 pm #1953756
This has happened to me lots of times with webbing and tape. Always do what Roger recommends above, and that usually works. If not, there is a little spring in my Kenmore in the bobbin mechanism that can be stretched too long when stressed and lose its function. When that happens, exactly what you describe is what also happens.
Sometmes I can get the machine to sew, sort of, after this happens; but to get back to normal, the spring must be replaced. The guy at the local Vac'n Sew does it, or I could send it to Sears Repair(more $).Feb 13, 2013 at 10:16 am #1953944

Thanks for the replies, but, unless I've misunderstood, I think there's something a bit more complicated than trapped thread…
I've taken the entire shuttle mechanism out, so there's no bobbin, no shuttle, just a big hole. Even trying to turn the machine like this, it's very stiff.
I'll have a look to see if thread could have been pulled deeper into the machine somewhere…Feb 13, 2013 at 10:11 pm #1954229

Hi Kevin

> a big hole.
Ah no: we didn't mean just take the bobbin or shuttle out. There is a spinning mech under the bobbin – that's what drives the whole stitch-making process. We think there is thread jammed down in there. I can't be more specific as I don't know what the guts of your machine looks like.
The biggest alternative would have to be a nearly seized bearing. If you have not been oiling the machine regularly, this could be very possible. Many of the rotating bearings will be actual ball races, but there will be some plain sleeve bearings – rotating and sliding. Strip all covers off and oil all moving surfaces. Include the round shafts which go up and down for the presser foot: they have plain sleeve bearings. Ideally, those round shafts should 'float' gently up and down, but if they haven't been oiled recently – trouble.
I go over our machines before any significant project, oiling them. If they make a noise, I oil them, and clean the bobbin area out. Both my machines are quite old; both run very smoothly. They NEED maintenance.

I asked the store and they said they'de go over it for $60 – no thanks, it works just fine
I just found an on-line user manual and it says just to vacuum out the bobbin area – well, I've done that a little but there wasn't much there
I think newer machines require less maintenance – I remember my mom's machine that I broke (she claims) when I was making a tent had about 20 points that you had to oil regularlyFeb 14, 2013 at 7:47 pm #1954572
Your post reminded me of the story about the contest to see who were the world's three oldest men.
The first guy said he didn't drink, smoke, exercised regularly. Asked his age, he said 108. He looked pretty old, but was in OK shape.
The second guy said he did all the first guy did, and also stuck to a strict diet of rice, fish and greens. Asked his age, he said 114. He looked quite old, though.
The third and last guy said, "Nah, I never do any of the stuff that those guys do. I eat tons of fried food, drink all night, visit the opium dens and mess around as much as I want." He looked really old and wrinkled. Asked his age, he said 21.Feb 14, 2013 at 8:06 pm #1954584
ha ha ha…
I'm just saying that newer machines require less maintenance
And I believe in eliminating any tasks that aren't really needed
I don't think I have you convinced yetFeb 15, 2013 at 9:50 am #1954708

Modern machines require loads less maintenance than older ones. Most have properly sealed bearings, which have no provision for lubrication, and where they don't have those they have oilite pieces, or oil impregnated plastics, which don't need lubrication unless operated under very severe conditions. The only places many of them require lubrication is around the hook. This is because very few people can be bothered to oil a machine every four hours of use, and if they can, they can't remember all the places they're supposed to put oil[1], plus parts that need oiling means they're parts that are losing oil, which has to go somewhere. That's typically on what you're sewing, which is not what people want.
They still require cleaning, of course. Lint and bits of thread still collect in the hook race, longer pieces of thread wrap around spinning bits.
[1] I used to drive a machine that had at least 30 oiling points. Many of them were not constant points, but it was still a pain to keep that properly lubricated.Feb 15, 2013 at 6:22 pm #1954879
Was only kidding. Will keep an eye out for a Janome.
Sounds like a Mercedes of sewing machines compared to my ca. 1970s Kenmores.
Note, though, that the second Kenmore that I just got as a back-up cost only $20 off Craigs List, plus $30 for a new top thread tensioner. OK, I did have to drive almost a hundred miles to the Mass border to buy it. The good ones list for well over a hundred on eBay, though.
Let's see … how to remember "Janome." Human Janome Map? Nah. Will think of something.Feb 15, 2013 at 7:04 pm #1954889
Janome is only one brand
My wife bought mine intending to use it for something
She hardly ever used it but I have taken it over : )Feb 16, 2013 at 5:09 pm #1955085
You had me all set on a Janome, and now it sounds like you are backing off a little with the comment about it being only one brand.
Over the years, I've acquired a few newer machines: a White "heavy duty" "industrial" one, a "Euro-Pro" sold by Sears, and an Elna. I can't do anything with the White and the Sears, the operation being so erratic and jerky; and the Elna I think was designed for embroidery, as it doesn't handle thicker materials well. But the old Kenmore has served me well for all the materials that go into gear, including leather (with the right needle). The newer machines just take up storage space in the basement.
There is a good sewing store not far in Rochester NH that handles a lot of used ones; so I will go and check out some of the used but newer ones, and look around for one of the Janomes to try. I'll also ask the owner of the local mon&pop sewing store, who does all the repairs, about the Janomes.Feb 16, 2013 at 5:49 pm #1955089
I don't mean to be jerking you around : )
I have a Janome and I think that would be a good choice
I'm sure there are other good machines
I think a newer machine, like a Janome, requires a little less maintenance than an older machine that has 20 or so points you have to oil occasionally. And maybe an older machine tends to collect lint a little more.

This is exactly why you need to look at photos of her not on the AR set, and taken recently. She looks a bit gaunt if anything. This was just makeup and prosthetics, the director said as much. This was Lindsay, the character, not Portia, the actress. Per the director, the joke was supposed to be Lindsay being vain, etc. It backfired on Portia. a very lovely woman who, if you look at real photos taken recently, clearly hasn't had anything major done.

No. Not plastic surgery, which is permanent. For her role on the 4th season of Arrested Develeopment, in which the previous seasons, her character had many references to plastic surgery and vanity, they may have had a makeup artist concoct a new nose for her and with the skin glue they use, they can make her undereyes look taught, temporarily. She may have had botox and an above lip filler, while filming to give her the look of having undergone something, but fillers wear off before a year and botox in 4-6 months, so once filming was complete, she could go back to her own beautiful self. Search the web for the interview she did on May 23, 2013, for her LA Confidential cover shoot. You can see a video of her, rather than a photo, and you will see she looks the same as she did before. Pure genius, as Arrested Development always was above the audience. They knew people would talk, and they are smart not to say anything. After all, that would ruin the "illusion", as G.O.B. would say, and people would stop talking about it = bad for publicity. Better to having you gossiping than to forget about it.

@Roaster I do not see where she looked as she did before. Doesn't look the same but looks alot like she went to a popular plastic surgeon since her face now looks like all the rest. Alot of Blondes in Zombiewood have that exact look. She lost her individuallity and her own beauty but trying to erases the years.
Posted at 8:22 AM on May 29, 2013
I don't think she had all that much done. The only scenes where she looked odd were where they had the long blonde wig. She looked normal in other scenes with the red wig and her short hair. The thing is she is a really good actress, and a lovely person, and a beauty regardless of anything else.

Zero RH + Gotha Performa Sunglasses - $103.95
Zero RH+ sunglasses have two things going for them that no other manufacturer can claim. Team Lampre and Team Saxo. You know if the pros from two of the top cycling teams trust their vision to Zero RH+ sunglasses, that you can, too. Gotha Performa Sunglasses offer either Zero RH+'s photochromic lens or its high-definition yellow lens. The former covers all light conditions, while the latter works best in flat or low light. All Gothas provide full physical protection as well as full UV protection.One thing that the brand Zero RH+ has come to embody, in our eyes, is quality. You can just feel it in a product like Gotha Performa Sunglasses. They're tight and well-made. You can feel how sturdy they are, despite their light weight. The Sportgrip TM rubber used on the nose and ear pieces is pliable and grippy. Despite the fact that it isn't adjustable, it's pliable enough that it felt comfortable to everyone who tried them on. During a ride they are comfortable and lightweight enough that you forget you have glasses on at all, and that non-slip rubber really does its job, even after the sweat starts flowing freely. The gray and copper photochromic lenses cover a solid spectrum of light conditions, so you could use either of these lenses as your go-to, everyday lens. Which you choose really comes down to color preference. The Yellow lens is non-photochromic and there fore stays high-contrast yellow all the time. we found this lens to work best in low or flat light conditions to really make terrain variations pop out. Zero RH+ Gotha Performa Sunglasses look best on folks with medium to large faces, they are available in Shiny White with Gray Photochromic Lens, Shiny Black with Copper Photochromic Lens, or Matte Black with Yellow Lens. - $103.95

whats does everyone use to mark there queens? I know they sell marking pens, but someone told me you can use testors model pant is this true? the testors model paint I have is acrylic can I use this kind or not?
I use testor or oil paint. And a little push cage from Walters Kelly's
yup, testor works good. I use to use some stuff called Artex, it was a ball point paint in a tube. pop the ball out, and you could squeeze out a nice drop just the right size. it was great. and came in about a bazillion colors. but I have not been able to find it for years.
Oil base enamel lasts longer than the water based paints. I use testors model paint in the small bottles. I get a nail that is a little smaller in diameter than the bald spot on the queen's thorax and flatten the point. Then I get a second nail the same size and drive it through the cap of the bottle.
When the flattened nail is pushed down through the hole in the cap and removed the sides of the hole removes all the paint except the little bit on the flat end. When the flat end is touched to the thorax it makes a mark only as large as the diameter of the nail. The nail is stored in the hole and acts as a stopper. Oil base paint has an odor so it pays to cage the queen for 5 minutes or so while the paint dries and the odor leaves. A small bottle will last 2 years before it hardens and the price is not excessive, the hard part is finding a store that carries the model paint.
I like the marking pens from the bee supply places. It's easy to keep in your pocket, use and close while in the bee yards.
A lot of hobby stores carry paint pens that will work. I get mine from Hobby Lobby, they have a nice assortment of colors. I tend to use the light version of the standard queen colors (light blue, light green, etc.) because I find it easier to spot, particularly on dark NWC queens.
I have been using the paint pens for a while now. The water based do not last nearly as long. I have gone to using mostly fluorescent colors which show up nicely. We use several colors based on the queens genetics not the year. Helping new beekeepers finding queens is easier when the queens have a nice hot pink dot on them.

Grow your own clothes
Designer Suzanne Lee shares her experiments in growing a kombucha-based material that can be used like fabric or vegetable leather to make clothing. The process is fascinating, the results are beautiful (though there's still one minor drawback ...) and the potential is simply stunning.

From the tortured belly of the Appalachians comes a novel consuming in its desire to reveal the depth of grief caused by mountaintop removal. In Strange as This Weather Has Been, debut novelist Ann Pancake employs a poverty-stricken West Virginia family—a couple and their four children—to tell a story of catastrophic loss and redemption. These are characters you will love even before you begin the book, for they represent the people who are living in those blown-apart mountains and will keep on living there after you've read the last page. Orion Magazine
"Pancake...makes her point in Strange as This Weather Has Been in a powerful, sure-footed and haunting way: People aren't dirt. But they know when they're being treated like dirt, whether in the Lower Ninth Ward or the hills of West Virginia." - New York Times

A small and clean apartment in a good location, a few minutes from the next subway station, 15-20 minutes walk from the shibuya station. The bed was comfortable, the aircon works good - and is in summer times really necessary! The bathroom is very small, for us europeans poky, but I assume its normal for Toyko :P The communication with Taise and the access to the apartment was easy. All in all its a good stay for a few days in Tokyo for a couple/for two people.
Very nice flat in good location - only 15 min walk to JR line Shinjuku, The host gave us all important information, we stayed 4 persons in the flat and it was ok. The only little negation could be that the 2 guest mattrasses in the living room may not be comfortable for everyone. But our stay all together was wonderful. And - we really appreciated the spin brush hair dryer and the hair straightener available in the bathroom!
Great locacion, the room is small but cosy. It is clean and full equipment included.
Taise was nice and she helped us everytime. I totally recomented it!
Everything was good!
Alles war gut!
The apartment is very small. Actually, only suitable for sleeping. But it is absolutely central and very good from Narita airport to reach. The apartment was clean, more or less. Basically ok, relatively cheap and practical but really nothing beautiful.
Die Wohnung ist sehr klein. Eigentlich nur zum Schlafen geeignet. Dafür ist sie absolut zentral und sehr gut vom Flughafen Narita aus zu erreichen. Die Wohnung war sauber mehr oder weniger. Grundsätzlich ok, relativ günstig und praktisch aber wirklich nichts Schönes.
Flat is very nice and in Shinjuku which is one of the best spots in Tokyo, it was very clean as at my arrival. Taise always ready to help. I'll definetely go back there if i'll join Tokyo Again. Marco
Wonderful location and base to explore Tokyo.
Handy, clean and quiet. At the hearth of Shinjuku place but quiet and reliable.
Taise was very handy to communicate with.
Communication fluid and practical.
It was great time. All my questions were answered fast. Thats was important for me. Thank you!

if my bottom box is empty and all the bees and queen is working the top box should i reverse the boxes? if so is it as simple as "reversing the boxes" in addition to reversing them what else should i look for? what else should i do?
if my bottom box is empty and all the bees and queen is working the top box should i reverse the boxes? if so is it as simple as "reversing the boxes" in addition to reversing them what else should i look for? what else should i do?
It's that simple...and if your ready for bee season start feeding
Some feel that having your bees up off the bottom board and out of the draft is beneficial and just like in a tree, the bees will move down when they need more space. Just seems if they been doing something for millions of years they might benefit from keepin on doing it. Granted some very sucessful folks advocate it, so maybe it just doesn't matter. I would reduce the entrance till the bees get some numbers and it gets warmer so you don't chill brood if you decide it is what you want to do.
Bees have been moving up and down in the broodnest for eons...as you say. They've also been swarmoing for that amount of time...when they are located in the top of the nest, there's incoming nectar plugging the upper reaches of that nest, and they feel crowded, or the queen's available space for egg laying is being filled with nectar. Sure, some will move down easily...but some won't. Reversing and early supering takes off the pressure, allows the bees and queen easy upward movement and overhead storage of nectar.
Do you super @ the time you reverse?
I have two colonies that fill two deeps & a medium. Would you go to a third brood box?
Rmns 1:16/Prv.3:5,6/ Beegan BK May 09/ Zone 5b
I have NOT failed. I have only found many many ways that do not work!
I would not reverse boxes, as the girls know better how to do what they do. Doing so will only stress out the hive. For example, when the foragers return, and the brood chamber is on the bottom, those returning will go where? And they don't need to go there. They need a place to off load their nectar and pollen without bumming out the queen, brood and caretakers. The Lady of the House will move down and fill what is necessary during the summer and the bees will store their honey where needed, which will be on the top! When that is done the natural excluder of the queen will be a top layer of honey on the frames. If you are a commercial beek and care only to make honey-money, then reverse, as that is what is written for that very purpose. If you want to enjoy bees and are fascinated with their life cycle, don't reverse.
You can also "bait" the queen down into the bottom box by swapping some empty drawn frames into the brood nest with some capped brood frames. The capped brood will emerge shortly and clean the cells for re-laying and the queen will include the bottom box in the brood nest AND use the empty frames in the top box. This is less disruptive than just switching boxes, but takes longer. For a hobby beek, it doesn't matter, but for a commercial operation time is money (or not getting swarm prevention done before the bees leave).
Room to store nectar just above the brood nest is the key here, I think. If they run out of room to store nectar, they will swarm no matter what configuration the hive is in, even if the cluster is still fairly small.
I super before I reverse. Early supering takes care of early flows and strong colonies, and reversing on the dandelion takes care of nectar going into the active broodnest. Normal years here its super first week of May and reverse after that.
You already have a third box. Two deeps and a medium is best for the Northeast...IMO.

I reverse boxes. My girlfriend reverses boxes. My queen stays home all year where I can keep her safe from crazy people who want to kill them. My girlfriend's queens stay home and make tons of honey as a side benefit. If we didn't reverse boxes, our queens would leave the hives every year, as they do in nature and leave us with a new queen, just a few bees in each hive, and maybe not even enough honey to survive winter. I like the queens that I have and don't like to see them hanging in tree branches, exposed to the elements.

2009 Car modding finally hits GTA IV
Grand Theft Auto IV - Modifications | @ 11:20 AM MDT | By rappo
The moment GTA IV modding has been waiting for hit a couple days ago, when Oleg, creator of the famous GTA-friendly 3D modeling software ZModeler, released a WFT exporter. This addition to ZModeler means it's possible to export GTA IV models! Although the exporter is in a beta stage and exported models can potentially decrease game stability, modders have already begun to fiddle with the tool.
One mod built using the exporter has been making the rounds: Uranus Cabrio. It's a simple mod that removes the top of the Uranus, making it a convertible, but it shows the hopefully strong future that GTA IV car modding will bring. For now, enjoy:
An installation guide is available in the download archive, but you'll need SparkIV first.

Washburn celebrated Founders' Day on Wednesday with a look back to the era in which the then Lincoln College was founded. On the 148th anniversary of the institution's charter by the Congregational Church in 1865, renowned Civil War historian Manisha Sinha reminded Washburn of its abolitionist roots.
Bruce Mactavish, Associate Dean, College of Arts and Sciences, introduced Sinha with reflection on Washburn's founders. Founders' Day is an opportunity to "think about where did we start as an institution?" he said. "These are some Americans who took a lot of risk."
Sinha shared the story of the multiracial struggle for liberty – freedom from slavery and citizenship – for black Americans, and the many lenses with which that struggle was viewed as it happened.
Abolitionists, to some at the time, she said, were radicals, fanatics, even terrorists who caused a bloody war. To others, they were champions of liberty, equality and justice. Abolitionists, she said, believed in citizenship for African Americans as early as the Revolutionary War period and pushed for what became the 14th Amendment to the United States Constitution. Many others were anti-slavery but did not believe voting rights and full citizenship should be granted to blacks. And many, like President Abraham Lincoln, evolved in their position over time.
Many among Washburn University's founders celebrated Wednesday were active abolitionists. John Ritchie, for example, came to Kansas because he wanted it to become a free state. He later helped blacks settle in the Topeka area by giving them land, Sinha said.
Sinha, a professor of Afro-American studies as the University of Massachusetts at Amherst, said she was glad to be on Washburn's campus "because of its abolitionist roots." She reminded the audience of more than 100 Wednesday night that Washburn was one of few institutions of higher learning to admit black students from the beginning. "It's lived up to that history," she said.
Martha Imparato, special collections librarian and archivist for Mabee Library, said she hopes every student, faculty and staff member knows and appreciates that Washburn was founded by abolitionists and always admitted everyone.
Mactavish agreed. "It's a complex story that deserves more study."
Sinha, who has published extensively, also met with students, faculty members and local media during her visit. Over lunch, she encouraged faculty members to "be mindful as academics of issues of race in our classrooms" whether the subject taught is history or accounting. She said it is crucial to confront race and class head on and challenge students to think critically. Remember, she said: "The Western tradition has been multiracial since the West thought of itself as Western."

Rachel Weisz
You have to be pretty damn beautiful to be the girlfriend of 007 Daniel Craig, Rachel Weisz shows us exactly how sexy in these four movie clips.
You have to be pretty damn beautiful to be the girlfriend of 007 Daniel Craig, and there's no doubt that Rachel Weisz fits that bill. The former fashion model turned actress has appeared nude in a whopping 11 films, which is a feat we're happy she accomplished. And it's not like she just went through a phase of feeling comfortable shedding her clothes for a role; she's been doing it ever since her 1991 role in The Advocates!
This sexy brunette may be well known for being the exotic arm candy of Brendan Fraser in the first two The Mummy films, but her role in The Constant Gardener secured her the title of Best Supporting Actress at the 1996 Academy Awards. Whether she's starring in the most action-packed blockbusters like Constantine, The Fountain and The Bourne Legacy or playing a role in a film festival drama, Rachel Weisz steals the spotlight with her gorgeous body and sexy accent.
The Deep Blue Sea
Rachel Weisz plays a wife who is caught between a dull marriage with a British judge and a racy affair with a Royal Air Force pilot. Expect steamy sex scenes and dramatic fights.
I Want You
Enemy at the Gates
This sex scene is quite possibly the best fully clothed sex scene we've ever seen.
Swept from the Sea
No, Rachel doesn't get naked in this movie, but it's definitely one to watch on date night so you look well-versed in foreign films.

2013 GTA Online Q & A
Grand Theft Auto V - General News | @ 11:33 AM MDT | By Kodo
This past week some of us from GTAGaming were invited out to NYC to play an early build (not final product) of GTA Online. It's really like a separate game from GTA V single player and it's shaping up to be an evolution in the GTA series. But rather than do our usual write-up I thought it would be cool to open it up to you guys to ask us questions, and we can answer them in our forums. If there is time before Tuesday, maybe I can put together a video to answer the most common questions and demonstrate some tips.
Please ask your questions in this thread as it will be easier to organize them: http://www.gtagaming.com/forums/showthread.php?t=142954

Holy Mother of Crap........what did she do to her face.....
She should sue.....she looks like that cat woman lady.......

Still A Natural Beauty
 [/b]

http://www.dlisted.com/files/reebok_...3_wenn1769.jpg

Maybe I've become desensitized by so much plastic horror that I can't fairly judge a horrific face, but Lil' Kim looks slightly better here than normal. Her face does look like Demi Moore and Patrick Swayze created it while making love on a potter's wheel to Unchained Melody.
It's a brilliant shade of terra cotta. Her nose looks like it was made
with silly putty. I want to make animal shapes out of it. Fun!

Okay, she looks fug. There I said it and I feel better.

text: Ive always loved old chevy c10's, and recently I bought a 1971 gmc from my uncle (pretty much the same as a c10) its been sitting in his barn for 15 years and im looking into restoring it. The grill and bumpers on it are stock and in ok condition, but seeing as ive always loved the look of the old chevys i was contemplating if i should try and put a chevy grill and rear tailgate trim on it. Theres tons of parts websites that have the aftermarket reproductions for both the gmc and chevy c10. Im wondering if a chevy grill will fit on the gmc. And I know alot of you guys think it would be stupid to put the chevy parts on it, but this isn't going to be a 30K show truck that has to be original, just a fun truck to drive around. comment and let me know what you think. The pic isn't of my truck but its the exact same color and year.

Check out the stats in the tampa game- while
Our thin secondary struggled and gave up to many big plays please note the majority of scores were due to threeturnovers. They weren't able to run the ball much and the long td by Williams actually hit off tryons helmet before being caught- If the giants play clean there is no way their d struggles as much. By the way Stewart is a dnp today as is your right tackle and kalil was limited - three letters for you JPP- best end in game.
Hahaha, Guys - I have to give credit where credit is due. Ive attended over 80 Panthers home games, and I have to say - as far as the NFC goes, Giants and Packers fans are the class of the Conference.. Very cool people, all-around. Philly, Dallas, Falcons, and Saints? Scumholes. Im actually looking forward to interacting with the Giants fans - pretty decent bunch of folks. That still doesnt mean I wont cheer till my voice gives out while we're stomping Big Blue's ***!

Discussion in 'Chevy Truck Accessories' started by lakelanierboater, May 26, 2011.
Thinking about applying Line X, anything better or a better value? Thanks.
I have Rhino Liner that was installed by the previous owner (not sure how old it is) but it holds up well to everything I throw at it.
Line-X was the first mod I did to my '05 when it was new. I use my trucks bed (chainsaws, rocks, picks, shovels, engine parts etc..) and its still like new. I have dents on my wheelwells and the Line-X is not peeling. Its worth the money.
thanks guys, either of you had any experience with some "gator" product?
Sorry no experiance with Gator.
For a better value you could do it youself with Duplicolor Bed Liner.

The Destination
The tiny town of Bradford, New Hampshire was incorporated just nine days after the Constitution was signed, making it one of the oldest towns on the Eastern Seaboard. Today, this historic hamlet less than ten miles from Lake Sunapee welcomes visitors like an ambassador for New England living. While boats and bathers dot the lake in the warm weather, winter brings the area a flurry of snow to delight skiers and sledding children.
The Digs
Rosewood Country Inn—named "Best Romantic Inn in New Hampshire" by Yankee Magazine—is perched on 12 hilly acres crisscrossed with wooded trails. This early Victorian-style inn was built circa 1850, a history reflected in the four-poster beds, wingback chairs, and cozy fireplaces in its antique-furnished guest rooms. Generous multi-course breakfasts and a 24-hour butler's pantry keep guests well fed, while complimentary Wi-Fi ensures they're well connected.
The Diversions
• The Fells Historic Estate & Gardens
• Lake Sunapee
• Daniel's Restaurant & Pub
• Mt. Sunapee Canopy Zip-Line Course

Sara and Euricos place is clean, very cosy and genuine, near Lissabon historic center. Very nice place. Kind regard Susanne
We had a very nice stay here. It was fresh and clean and the location is perfect. We are the kind of people who likes to be able to walk our way to most of attractions which we were able to do from this apartment.
Great location! Nicely decorated! Good shower. Little kitchen, all you need fot two! We had a great time.
The apartment was great, it was clean, comfortable and cosy. The artwork is very nice and it is stylishly decorated. I loved having breakfast out on the terrace! The location couldn't be better and is literally central, with alfama behind you and rossio, the main square and shopping areas just down the road! There's also a supermarket at the top of the street which is right across from a bakery. Overall I really enjoyed myself, however, my only problem was that I would have liked to have met Sara & Eurico, initially it was euricos brother that opened up the apartment, which caused a little confusion! we then bumped into eurico on the stairs a few days later. Great apartment, would book again!
We had the best time in this Apartment. Very clean and everything was around . Good kitchen and Bathroom(little but also for tall people like me ok)).Beautiful pictures too in the room. Sara and Eurico are very nice people and also very helpful. We would definitely come back here next time and recommend this apartment to our friends.What is very nice is the place where the apartment is. In the old part of Lisbon(Alfama and mouraria) but also close to Rossio where the train is and busses. Very positive experience.
The apartement is decorated with a refined taste. And clean! It's really cosy. The location is perfect, and is very quite during the night.
Everything was perfect, Sara and Eurico are very kind.
Thank you!
The apartment is as lovely as its hosts. Sara welcomed us and we met Eurico a few days later. The apartment is small but lovely furnished and offers a cosy getaway in the middle of the center of the old part of Lisbon. We enjoyed being able to catch some sun on the little balcony although the street noise was quite strong. But don't worry, everything was silent once the balcony door was closed. We'll definitely recommend this nice apartment to our family and friends if they plan a trip to Lisbon. Thanks Sara & Eurico for this nice apartment! You made our first Wimdu experience a "wanting-more" thing.

this "elite" discussion is absolutely meaningless
every person you talk to has a different definition of the word as it pertains to a QB
Eli is our franchise and he will be until he is not anymore
why not talk about a topic that means something?......because this has absolutely no meaning whatsoever nor does it have an impact on how his play on the field will progress or regress
This from Pro Football Today's power ranking after week 10 games:
11. Giants: Eli Manning doesn't have a tired arm; his arm is in a coma.
At this point, who the hell cares anymore?
I don't think the fact that it's Phil Simms saying it makes it any worse or less/more valid than any other talking head.
Here we go again. Eli will be elite one day, and not elite another day, then elite, then not. Whatever. He sucks right now. He is having one of the worst stretches in his career. Oh well. If he gets us another championship at the end of the year, he will be elite again. Im tired of this.
Corey Webster was also elite last year, and now completely sucks this year. Whatevs. Chris Johnson was elite a few years ago, now is a bust. Cam Newtown was elite last year, now sucks.
Flavor of the week.
Phil Simms can say whatever he wants but this is a good thing because this team only plays better when criticized including Eli, people were saying he's the best QB in the league, then he comes out playing like s*** hopefully this will motivate him to play better.
I wouldn't necessarily call those a bad stretch of games.

A sex act that involves being forced to ingest synthetic drugs, while being anally violated by a man in his 70's with green teeth, while 2 dogs in the room clean their own testicles.
That German porno was disturbing. It was from the 70's and featured the actor who invented the German Malamute. I've heard that it's used by some underworld figures as punishment now a days.

Thirty-one tracks? Two discs? Everything of national quality and many of the songs actually unreleased tracks from national recording artists? Eh.
We've got Ray LaMontagne being the background for a whole episode of Parenthood (and being a regular in the Billboard Top 5). Sparks the Rescue winning awards from MTV. Spose being awesome right to the top of the iTunes charts and Universal Republic. Phantom Buffalo getting signed by a French label. Brenda being handpicked by Wilco to play their Solid Sound festival and then with Holy Boys Danger Club, Marie Stella, and four other bands rocking the CMJ Festival in New York. Kurt Baker and the Leftovers touring Europe repeatedly.
It's time we acted like we've been somewhere. We don't need some compilation to prove there's a bunch of terrific music being made in Portland.
Except that, of course, GFAC Vol. 8 is awesome. Spose's "Pop Song"? It's a huge hit waiting to happen, a post-modern ringing indictment of the music industry: "The kids want hits/They don't give a shit about the rhymes you spit/They just want a nice beat/That they all can ride to/With a chorus catchier than swine flu/times two." But the best is pair of choruses, first "we want you to write a pop song," like Weezer on steroids, then "make it sound like this," as though Spose is saying, "Yeah, I can do that stupid pop-hop bullshit anytime. It's easy. But I don't want to do that."
Or, as he puts it: "I'd rather have my wrist slit than sound like every other fucking singer in the business."
Also, so much for GFAC being pegged as a roots compilation, right? Just as good as Spose's take is Paranoid Social Club's "White Trash," a hilarious send-up featuring Thommy, ending up being some kind of cross between Kid Rock and Bone Thugs-n-Harmony.
But roots remain close to compiler Charlie Gaylord's heart. It's pretty cool to hear the return of Jon Nolan, whose "Things I Never Said" is so naked and stripped-down and desperate and moody: "Tell the children that their daddy was a good man." And what is that trumpet doing in Sara Cox's "Wallet Size"? Goddamn it's good. I'm now legitimately freaking out about the possibilities of the next long-awaited and much-completed full-length.
Steve Jones does a Joe Cocker-style vamp. Grand Hotel has '80s Mick Jagger swagger. Rustic Overtones debuts piano-flavored R&B. There are new tracks from the Coming Grass, the Lucid, and Darien Brahms that are all excellent.
Volume 8 is a veritable firehose — hard to consume in even five sittings. But make sure you make it to the end of the second disc. The new track from Slaid Cleaves, "Cry," is everything you'd hope for if you've followed his career. It's touching and smart and old-timey country, with haunting vocals that sound a little like they were recorded in a submarine.
Yes, GFAC is back, celebrating its 10th anniversary, and it's still the best stocking stuffer a music-lover could ask for.

A Slower Gait in the Georgia Mountains
Brasstown Valley Resort & Spa • Young Harris, GA
Escape Kit
- A One-Night Stay for Two in a Traditional Room with One King or Two Double Beds
- One Round of Golf for One Player
- Book Unlimited Nights for an Extended Stay
The Destination
Lake Chatuge straddles the border between North Carolina and Georgia in the southernmost Blue Ridge Mountains. On the Georgia side, the small towns on the lake brim with outdoor recreation all year long. Fishing, boating, and swimming make the lake popular during the summertime, but beyond the water, adventurers can trek to the top of Brasstown Bald (the state's highest mountain), hike a leg of the Appalachian Trail, or go mountain biking in Jack Rabbit State Park.
The Digs
Brasstown Valley Resort & Spa is just two miles from Lake Chatuge and two hours from bustling Atlanta. Here, the cozy, unique traditional rooms are outfitted with differing extras like balconies and gas-log fireplaces. The resort boasts massive stone fireplaces and oak-vaulted ceilings, as well as oversized windows with panoramic mountain views.
Also on the premises is a par-72 championship golf course, designed by Denis Griffiths and previously ranked as one of the top courses in Georgia by Golf Digest. Five miles of trails and a stable full of horses make scenic rides a favorite pastime, but if you prefer more pampering, you'll find it at on-site Equani Spa.
"For upscale, lodge-style accommodations, this resort is a great option. The rooms are comfortable and spacious, in an elegant but rustic style."-- Read Fodor's Review of Brasstown Valley Resort & Spa

[quote user="lttaylor56"]Did someone say Pat's added ballard to Hernandez and Gronk for their TE squad. ?[/quote]

yea claimed him off waivers for some reason. he wont play this year though so...

Belichick is sick of losing to use in the superbowl, he's trying to gain some insight on our team :P
yea, earlier this morning while arguing with Dezz i said i thought it might be some kind of head game/power move

I doubt it. The have to pay his salary this year and he's not expected to play. They also have his right in 2013 at $660,000 or so. (This season is between $500 and $600M)

Doubt they would be willing to do that in order to play "head games".
