Trevor's Book Club : 'Salmon Fishing in the Yemen'
Trevor's next book club selection is' Salmon Fishing in the Yemen' by Paul Torday.
Salmon belong in the highlands of Scotland don't they? Could they ever be at home in the deserts of Arabia? This is the dream of the Sheik of Yemen, a dream that's just the starting premise for Paul Torday's novel . The book is about so much more than fishing - it's a satire on bureaucracy, governments and war in the middle east - and a late-blooming romance! It's been described as 'Yes Minister' meets 'Monarch of the Glen'.
What is it saying about government? What is it saying about fishing? What is it saying about romance?
What do you think of the character of the Sheik and his assistant Harriet Chetwode-Talbot? What about Dr Alred Jones, the fisheries expert?
You may have already seen the movie starring Ewan McGregor and Emily Blunt ( link to the Trailer below) - but the book will give you a different slant on the story !
Read the book, see the DVD and join Trevor and our special guest, Dr Toni Johnson-Woods from the School of English at the University of Queensland for this discussion on Tuesday 1 October at 0245.

Pulaski Technical College has opened a one-stop Student Orientation, Advising and Registration (SOAR) program that will run through Dec. 9 in the student center of the Administration building on the main campus in North Little Rock.
New students planning to attend Pulaski Tech during the spring 2006 semester are encouraged to visit the one-stop SOAR center for orientation, advising and on-site registration. SOAR advisers will be available to assist students with their academic plans and schedules.
Beth Trafford, director of counseling and advisement, said new students should apply online at www.pulaskitech.edu or submit a paper application to the Office of Admissions and Records prior to visiting the SOAR center.
Students entering college for the first time also must submit a high school transcript with graduation date or GED scores, ACT or COMPASS assessment scores no more than five years old.
Students who have attended college before must submit official copies of transfer transcripts from all previously-attended colleges/universities, ACT or COMPASS scores if college-level mathematics and English have not been completed with a grade of "C" or better.
All full-time students born after January 1, 1957, must submit two proofs of measles and rubella immunizations.
New students should take the online student orientation, which is located on the prospective students' page on the Pulaski Tech Web site (www.pulaskitech.edu). Students should print off the last page of the orientation and submit it to their SOAR adviser to be eligible to win a full-tuition scholarship for the spring 2006 semester.
Students should meet with an adviser in the SOAR center to discuss their academic goals and plan their schedules. Hours are 8:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. Mondays, Thursdays and Fridays and 8:30 a.m. to 6 p.m. Tuesdays and Wednesdays through Dec. 9.
Students will register the same day they are advised. Tuition should be paid by the advertised tuition date in order to reserve classes.
Late registration for the fall semester is Jan. 10-12; however, early orientation, advising and registration at the SOAR center is recommended to ensure space availability. The last day to register for spring classes is Jan. 12.
In order to enhance students' chances for academic success, no registration is permitted after classes begin.

Media Release
12 June 2008
Turner to Money, a $28 million Economic Triumph for Canberra
Open for 88 days, from 14 March to 9 June 2008, Turner to Monet: the triumph of landscape featured more than 100 landscape masterpieces by many of the greatest artists of the time.
Ron Radford, Director of the National Gallery of Australia said, "Turner to Monet was a once in a lifetime opportunity to see works of art, drawn from over 40 collections around the world, which had never been seen together in Australia before. The exhibition attracted 180,700 visitors and provided an economic injection of over $28 million to the local economy".
This is $8 million more than the 2006 blockbuster Egyptians: antiquities from the Louvre: journey to the after life, which injected over $20 million to the Canberra community.
Research conducted for the National Gallery of Australia showed that 72.5% of visitors came from outside Canberra to see Turner to Monet and stayed an average of 2.2 nights providing a welcome boost to the local economy.
Also, the Turner to Monet catalogue was produced and printed in Canberra, injecting $1 million dollars into the Canberra community. One in every 10 visitors to the exhibition purchased a Turner to Monet catalogue.
Research also showed that visitors were clearly impressed with the Turner to Monet exhibition with 90% rating their satisfaction with the exhibition as 4 out of 5 or higher.

My vacation plans just changed the week of Oct 1, and the duck season in Ohio wont start for 2 weeks after... Just getting my retriever back from 5 months of training and itching to try the duck hunting in ND. Always had others take me to their spots, but its time I do this myself. Been hunting ducks for 3-4 years and decided to pick up and head out for a week.
I have been researching the regs, google, and called the fish and game to get some questions answered. I get free hotels with points from work and Minot is an area that I can stay with the dog and it appears with in an hour of some potholes...
Ive got a layout blind, decoys, Mojo, dog, and love to chase ducks. In Ohio we are used to going out and seeing nothing...so I figured how can it be any worse in ND.
My question is...am I crazy? Is this possible?
What has the weather been like out there? is there much water? Are the crops maturing early like here?
I'm used to bowhunting elk in Montana and scouting for miles and figure this will be no different. A challenge is no big deal for me. My dog is a golden that has been trained for hunt tests and is pretty steady and lots of drive but only a year old. Figured why waste a weeks vacation...Coming whether its a bust or gold mine. Gotta start somewhere.
Not looking for any specific locations, just general tips on how to do this not where. Used to hunting small water, mud flats, and picked grain and alfalfa fields.
Thanks in advance

They can't deny you..........Obama allready spent your money.
5 months ago I bought a gemtec outback 2, after a month at my local LEO, and 4 months and one week ago the ATF cashed my check for the stamp
My questions is this what can I guy do if he is denied a stamp for a NFA item? The ATF site says will will get a refund on the $200 but waht can you do to get the ATF to change there mind?
I'm not saying the ATF denied me (I think they are backed up and I just need to wait more) I have never been in trouble with the law except for a speeding ticket 8 years ago but with Homeland securtiy calling me a terrorist because I'm a vet and a third party guy I wonder what could I do if I am denied
This is my first NFA item
They can't deny you..........Obama allready spent your money.

I seldom talk to liberals.............................. But when I do, I order fries............
I'd rather be a "has been" than a wannabe!

God, Guns and Guts made America free,
Lets keep all three.
Don't worry about being denied. They are just terribly slow. If your paper work was in order when you sent it out it will be fine. That check being cashed is a good sign.
If you can purchase a regular firearm, you can purchase NFA stuff....
call them and check the status, most likely it will suddenly be approved within a week or two..
I too am in the process of purchasing an NFA item.
I went the "trust" route with an attorney.
Forming a "trust" and no CLEO has too sign. NFA items go directly into my trust.
4 months at the ATF. Damn. Our guns are going to be antiques by the time we get them.
"Man needs but two things to survive alone in the woods. A blow up female doll and his trusty old AK-47" - Thomas Jefferson 1781
Waitting sucks AHhh oh well I'm going to go buy some more suppressors soon hopefully it wont take as long
If they really want to raise some money, they need to reopen the registry and stand back!This is why they haven't stopped the NFA thing!
I've got a stupid question for ya all. Why and how do you do a "trust" to get a SBR or Suppressor. Thanks

This year I started two hives from 2lb Carni packages, both on one drawn deep. Once they started getting that filled, I added a deep of undrawn Mann Lake PF-120s. We got some good warm weather and a flow, and they have been drawing it nicely for about a week. One hive has 5-6 drawn frames, the other 2-3.
So I've started thinking about my strategy for adding honey supers on these hives if the time comes when things start getting crowded. I could always throw a medium on, let them draw that out and see what happens. But I also wondered if it might be smarter to throw a third deep on and let them draw that and overwinter with three deeps.
My thought was this would be a good way to get two more deeps of drawn foundation, which I could then pull off and put two packages on next spring. I'm starting to buy into the "drawn foundation is one of the beekeepers biggest assets" school of thought, and this seemed to be a good way to get packages off on a good start next spring.
Thoughts? Am I crazy?

Big Foot Siting At Foothills Park
Original post made by Bobby, Green Acres, on Apr 10, 2007
and was returning when I heard a rustle in the manzanita brush, looked behind
me expecting to see a deer and instead saw a large hairy figure, sort of like
Chewie from star wars, who was heading in the opposite direction, apparently
unconcerned about me...could this be bigfoot? are the gorillas around here?
has anybody else seen this creature?

Bah! Don't mind that -- most likely, the Easter Bunny wasn't feeling well and asked Sasquatch to cover for her over the weekend.
Either that, or that darn Palo Alto Caterpiller Borg finally discovered teamwork, in which case, we have already lost.

Sounds like you are in doubt as to the accuracy of my posting about seeing bifgoot...
well, i am heading up there today, with a camera, and i intend to prove to the world once
and for all that bigfoot is alive and well. Doubters we ware, my eyes don't fool me. I will post my pictures along with my written report. My goal is to have Bigfoot warning signs along with the signs for mountain lions, assuming the lions have not decided to attack sasquatch (as you call him).

Hey folks, I am little worried about Bobby....he should have been back by now.....how long should we wait until we go and look for him....
a resident of Green Acres
on Apr 11, 2007 at 4:34 pm
It's okay Phil, I made it back, relatively unscathed except for a little poiosn oak. You need not worry anymore, although I appreciate your concern. I did manage to make contact with Bigfoot again, and was even able to chat with him for aprox. 15 minutes, before he got nervous and fled. He asked me to not take any photos because it attracts lots of media attention, and thus places him on the run again. He was upset that I notified the people on paloaltoonline, although he understands that we are very interested in his whereabouts and if he exists and so on. It was really a very elightening conversation. I learned a lot from The Foot (thats what I call him now), and hope to continue doing so, until he moves on to another region of this beautiful country. While he mainly resides in Foothills Park, he says that he also frequents several of the peninsula regional open space parks, from Santa Cruz to San Mateo. He likes Foothill because it is usually quiet during the week, and because it's such a "beautiful place to be." Anyways, don't expect to see any photos, cause I am going to honor his simple request. I will not report anymore of my findings, which is also another request that I will honor. Also, he asked that you not come looking for him, because he will not make himself available to other members of the community. I feel so lucky to have met The Foot, but I would hate for any harm to befall him on my account. Also, he can get angry, and has claimed to use force when provoked. That is all. Thanks again for your concern. Signing off, this is Bobby from Greenmeadows.

I'm a friendly ape-lover, and I'd love to befriend Big Foot. I'm going to take a bunch of bananas up to the park tomorrow and see if Big Foot likes them. Wish me luck!
a resident of Community Center
on Apr 11, 2007 at 9:26 pm
Babs, please be catious. I think it's a geat idea, only because he prefers the opposite gender.
He only talked with me because I had something he wanted, which I can't reveal here. I do know that he likes to eat, and the food supply at the park is not that great, a few toyon berries, caterpillars, beetles....gets old after awhile. I am sure that he will appreciate your enthusiasm and female "spirit" but please know that he's been abstinent for some time and, well, lets just say that apes will be apes, if you catch my drift. Nevertheless, sounds good. I can't lay claim to this freindly beast. He is an american treasure, and may not be here in palo alto for long. George, he did not say where he learned to speak English, although he did
mention that he is fluent in over eight languages, although i don't know which ones. I think he grew up in the northwest somewhere. I am thrilled that you appreciate my writing skills, but I must say that I am not directly related the that philanthropist you mentioned....

While you were dealing with Big Foot, I had a gala time with small foot. I did my thing. She was pretty you know. She loves bananas too.

Hmmmmmmm. The "Foot" at Foothills Park. This certainly sounds like a good story. A lot less exausting than the recent news on TV.
I know the Los Trancos Trail - used to run it all the time. While the most I've seen were lizzards, it is such a magical trail that I cannot discount Bobby's story.

DUI, got your message. Glad to know that you were able to do your thing with small.
Wanted to let you know that while small foot may like your banana(s), apparently The Foot doesn't like them. He prefers Peet's coffee and some of those cigarettes from Humbolt content- there it is- I've said enough, probably too much.

The "One-Two Punch" Whole Tank Algae Treatment
NOTE: Others have reported deaths of shrimp, snails, and fish - particularly known sensitive ones. Please read the entire thread for details before experimenting. For anyone who wishes to try this, I am changing my initial recommendation for H2O2 to 2 tbsp. per 10G, down from 4 tbsp. This treatment seems especially hit-and-miss with shrimp, so for them, I do not recommend this treatment AT ALL - unless you consider them expendable.
This is a technique I've developed. While I've provided this info in several threads now as personalized help, I feel it deserves a full write-up in its own thread.
In brief: It uses a properly executed H2O2 whole tank treatment, followed by a whole tank Excel treatment, to provide a much greater algicidal effect than either alone; without noticeably increased risk to fauna or plants.
This has been performed by me many times, and by others only a few. While in all cases no adverse effects were observed, I cannot guarantee it to be 100% safe. Only through many more tests in a wide variety of tanks can that be established. Keep that in mind should you decide to try it, and if you do, please share your results in this thread.
Even if you don't try this, you may still find some of it informative.
Whole tank H2O2 treatments don't get much attention. The results are typically very poor, at least until you get into such doses that fauna are at risk; and after a few failed attempts, most folks understandably write this option off.
But the truth is, most people perform this treatment completely wrong.
The WRONG Way:
Typically, the first thing done is to turn off the filters and lights. Already, one mistake has potentially been made, and a path paved to another.
Turning off the filters does prevent H2O2 from flowing through the biomedia. That's good, because we don't want the H2O2 to kill too much nitrifying bacteria, nor want the H2O2 depleted at this point in reaction with these bacteria. But often, this leaves little or no flow in the tank.
The effect of any chemical is determined by: Concentration * Flow * Time.
A H2O2 spot treatment works with no flow, solely because of the incredibly high concentration at the location where it's applied. But in a whole tank treatment, it's far more dilute. So instead, high flow is required to carry it around the tank, to contact the algae and have some positive effect.
Without that, there is only one place where high flow is occurring. Fish gills. And that is the one thing we don't want the H2O2 reacting with!
Moving on now. The H2O2 is added. Some amount of time is allowed to elapse, a half hour or so. Then the treatment is "terminated", by turning filters and lights back on. This is the next mistake.
Virtually all of the H2O2 still exists in the tank, because without flow, very little of it has reacted with anything. While light does break down H2O2, this is measured in days - even in direct sunlight. Not minutes. So the light has no effect, in the time scales we're working with.
The biofilter at least is now reducing the H2O2. And with flow restored, the H2O2 is at last starting to have some effect on the algae. But the fish are already getting close to suffering noticeable stress. The full concentration of H2O2 has been flowing through their gills for a half hour, completely without reason since this time did nothing to kill the algae. And they will continue to be exposed to gradually lessening concentrations, further increasing the stress, as the filter slowly removes it. It may take another half hour before H2O2 is sufficiently reduced.
The RIGHT Way:
As I said before, Concentration * Flow * Time.
So if you want an effective treatment, provide massive flow during the entire treatment period. Since flow is constant through fish gills, to protect them you shorten the time, by wasting none of it with periods where the algae isn't affected, and correctly terminating the treatment. If this is done, the increase in safety is actually enough that concentration can be increased.
First, prepare the tank. You want as much flow as possible. If you have extra powerheads, add them. If your sole source of flow is your filters, you'll have to temporarily remove the filter media to a bucket of tank water, and leave the filters on. Otherwise, this is optional but still beneficial. I have a cheap Koralia clone that with 1,320GPH flow, turned out to be too much for any of my tanks; but I keep it around because it's ideal for this treatment.
If you have Marimo balls, temporarily remove them to a bucket of tank water as well. Cladophora is very hardy, and normally not affected by whole tank H2O2 treatments. But this treatment can burn them badly, especially on sides exposed to direct flow. If they're also infested with undesirable algae, they can be treated simply by keeping them in the bucket in a dark place for a week. They can tolerate extremely long blackouts without harm, unlike other algae.
Keep the lights on. Light has no effect on the H2O2, only your ability to see what's going on.
Now add 3% H2O2, at a dosage of 4 tbsp. per 10G of actual tank water volume (excluding substrate, plants, etc). Yes, that's double what's typically used; as explained previously we can use a higher concentration.
Allow to circulate for 15 minutes. During this time, redirect flow a few times if possible, to make sure all areas get covered. If you have particular trouble spots, try to ensure they get direct flow during part of the treatment.
Now terminate the treatment. Do a 50% water change, or more if you know it's well tolerated. Return the tank to its normal configuration, including replacing filter media if it was removed.
Less hardy algae may be effectively killed by this alone, especially if flow was good. But all algae will be weakened, and now it's time for:
Any remaining algae not killed by the H2O2 is now extremely susceptible to Excel.
If you weren't already using Excel, or were using it at the recommended dose, add Seachem's recommended initial dose of 5ml per 10G. No further large doses are necessary in this case. Algae builds up some tolerance to Excel, similar to sensitive plants like Vals. In this case, the H2O2 treatment followed by a single, sudden Excel spike is enough to quickly finish algae off.
If you were already using Excel overdoses, continue using the previous dose.
Enjoy your algae-free tank. If there are any underlying problems that caused the algae outbreak in the first place, correct them so your tank stays algae-free. In some cases, a thorough algae removal like this is enough to improve plant health to the point where algae will not return.
I've used this treatment many times over the course of the last year.
It was originally developed to deal with what I call my SOS, "Staghorn On Steroids", as featured in my signature. SOS doesn't behave quite according to the rules. Like most algae it likes high light, but will thrive in medium light if flow is high. It laughs at high CO2, H2O2 spot treatments, and Excel spot/tank treatments. But it falls hard to the "One-Two Punch", and I relied on this treatment heavily when trying to figure out how to keep it from growing. Which took a while, during which time I probably would have given up in frustration if I hadn't found a way to periodically eliminate it, without ripping out half my plants after each failed tank parameter adjustment.
I've tried it on other algae too, mostly out of curiosity rather than necessity. Works great. Burning my Marimo balls was a nasty surprise, but certainly showed how effective it is, as they've never been affected by any other algicidal treatment. Should I ever have an invasive clado problem, I expect this might be able to eliminate it.
I've never seen any adverse effect on the more sensitive inhabitants of my tank; including otos, cories, bamboo shrimp, ramshorn and pond snails. No idea if it's safe for other shrimp, as I keep no other varieties. I'd like to see someone try it on a tank with a few expendable cherries. Java moss was unaffected. I have some anacharis, which is particularly sensitive to Excel, but which I've gradually acclimated to a normal dose; it too is unharmed by this treatment. Hopefully others can soon add their experiences.
Off-topic but related. Recently I see the use of AlgaeFix being more freely discussed, now that certain people have finally softened their views on it, and mentioning it no longer results in guaranteed chastisement. Yes, it works, I've used it, and it's certainly easier than my method. But it isn't safe for invertebrates. Several times I've also had fish severely stressed or killed by AlgaeFix, and although in the majority of cases this doesn't happen, I consider it a gamble. I have an idea why this occurs different from other hypothesis I've seen, and how it might be avoided, but that's a topic for another thread I'll soon post. At this time I consider my treatment possibly safer than AlgaeFix when a powerful full tank treatment is required, and certainly usable in more circumstances.
Hope this proves useful to you!
Is this invertabrate safe?
How the hell did I miss that?
I wish I'd seen this before tearing down my old tank as I never could get the black bush out of my fissidens. I've been trying a blackout but the moss seems to be losing the fight, so perhaps I'll set up a couple powerheads in my quarantine bucket and give this a try as I'd really like to salvage what's left of the moss.
This is a great write up on how to do this, Thanks!
I nuked my tank tonight, several hours on and things look like they are still 'fizzing.' Is this normal?
I did a 50% WC. All the fish seem fine so far - Otto's, silver tips, and chili rasboras.
I think one of the key points is massive circulation asap once you add a whole higher shock ppm of a chemical treatment. The Algaefix will also have the same increase effectiveness if you do that since it, like H2O2 and Excel, will bind to organic matter and is heavier than water,(thus sinks in low current).
Good key point.
The 50% water change, if performed with tap water, is also loaded with dissolved gasses. Chances are, you've heard of or witnessed "false pearling" after a water change.
In this case, because both the old and new water are saturated with gasses, it can be quite a show.
This is a great write-up! Thank you!
I've been having some algae issues and I know it's related to the inconsistent nature of my DIY CO2. I'm almost done building a pressurized system and should be up and running before the end of the month. It's good to know that I have a way of nuking all of it and starting over when I switch over. It'll be a lot easier to monitor what's going on.
Thank you for the write up :)
Which algae is this good for ? Is there any that you would consider this a waste of effort on ?
I've completely removed heavy spot algae from both an anubia leaf and a resin ornament, mostly just to see if it could be done. It took somewhere in the range of seven H2O2 spot treatments, over three weeks, for complete removal. Definitely a waste of effort!
I suppose you could also spot dose moss and other hard to kill green hair algae, or take a bunch of plants, and dip then rinse, then return etc.
Busan 77 is the herbicide in algaefix:
I suppose you could use the several hammer approach, use this, plus H2O2, plus Excel.
They all have different modes of action.
But without addressing the root issue, mostly CO2 and decent O2, good general care, catching things asap........your labor tends to be wasted.
If you catch various algae right away, then these treatments are MUCH more effective, and the algae is less of an issue. I tried this and found I needed 1/2 or less the concentrations for similar efficacy for all 3 algae killers.
You can test this in a non CO2 holding tank, and add culls for toxicity for shrimp.
Pretty easy to evaluate. I'm leary telling folks this stuff, but always mention the root cause is far far more imperative. If you do test algae, you need to know how to induce it, and also, get rid of it, so you can start again and test it more than once.
Few bother doing that. But if you keep having it come back again and again, well, you can at least test again a few times. Best to focus on the plants, then come back this stuff once the new algae growth stops, so you get something for all your labor.
Playing devils advocate, What would be a good preventive measure besides water changes and lower light periods paired with sufficient bps of co2? I for one would not discount the hammer approach but often find prevention and preventive measures more fruitful in the long run and less dramatic/intensive for all involved parties.
Since there's so much interest in AlgaeFix, I went ahead and posted my promised write-up on it:
AlgaeFix: Experiences, Experiments, and Thoughts
But feel free to continue discussion of AlgaeFix in this thread. Or other treatment/prevention methods. It's all related.

It looks like you're new here. If you want to get involved, click one of these buttons!
I've just signed up for Great East Swim (Alton Water, Ipswich). 16 June, a fortnight before Outlaw.
I took part last year and discovered for the first time that there is some open water where you can see your fingertips (not just the inside of your goggles)!
Are there any other forum members / fully fledged Pirates taking part?
I'm signed up for too - 2 mile entry as well. Will be treating it as a gentle warm-up for Outlaw and use it to practice my pace.
Camping for the weekend, so might end up doing the long run over that weekend too - will have squeeze long bike in at some other time.
Uphill .. I've never camped there, however, a chap I work with visits frequently with his caravan. If you check the Alton Water website you'll probably find a number to call to book some space. That said (and I've no doubt you must have checked the weather forecast) the wind is going to be extremely gusty through Friday hitting 25mph on Saturday, so bring some extra tent pegs!!
Got my pack yesterday - just as well, had nearly forgot about this!
Robbie - turns out I'm in the green wave, which starts at 9. I'll pass over my mobile in a PM, but might be easier to meet afterwards rather than before if you're hanging about?
UpHill - I'm camping at a site called Tomcat. Seems to be fairly close from memory (although booked a while back, so can't be certain).
MA - I am in water 8AM and hope to be out before 9AM. Heading for hot shower, coffee and bacon buttie at family home before disappearing off to Oxford on first of two stag do's in coming weekends. Great tapering for Outlaw.
Uphill - I'll be the 6 ft 5 fella on the start line with a foot of broken black toes (a sexy look I'm going for this summer).
Good luck to you both.
Have a good swim then you 2! And enjoy the stag dos Robbie!
Hopefully this rain dies off and the water heats up a tiny bit, even a degree would make a difference!
Just got an email to say its been postponed to the Sunday now.... due to dodgy weather forecast...
You can get a full refund if you can't make it...
I cant do Sunday either
I havent had a email yet tho, Can we get a refund?
This is disappointing. I swam last week in 20 mph winds, along with 125 other people, neither they nor the kayakers had any issues. Those strong enough to swim two miles should be able to cope and whilst I understand there are a far greater number taking part in the 1/2 and 1 mile swims, it's a shame they couldn't chuck the rest of us out there, as planned.
I expect to be somewhere between gentlemen's club and hotel room at 8AM on Sunday so will be seeking a refund...

The Colt's "Army Special Model" revolver is not chambered for the modern .38 Special round.
It was made between 1908 and 1927, chambered in .32–20, .38 Colt and .38 S&W, and .41 Colt. (The .38 Colt and .38 S&W are essentially the same cartridge under different names, and this cartridge is shorter, fatter, and weaker than .38 Special.)
The serial number you quote seems to be wrong for the revolver you name. My source quotes 540000 as the highest number used.
I therefore suggest that you may be misnaming your revolver. Where on the gun do you find the name, "Army Special Model"?
For the best help possible, please post photos of the pistol, as well as close-up pictures of all of the markings present on the gun.

After Coronary Artery Bypass Surgery
When you leave the hospital after coronary artery bypass surgery, you'll be given discharge instructions. These tell you how to take care of yourself as you recover. Staying active will help speed recovery, so do as much as you comfortably can. To protect your healing breastbone, though, you will likely need some help from others.
Getting Back Into Your Routine
Follow your doctor's guidelines. Here are some general time frames:
Showering. Unless you're told otherwise, you can shower once you get home. Don't use very hot water (it can make you dizzy). Have someone nearby in case you need help. Don't take a tub bath until your doctor says it's okay.
Daily activities. Resume activities as you feel comfortable doing so. Within a few days you can return to light activities, such as cooking. Don't do anything strenuous, such as mowing the lawn or vacuuming, for at least
Driving. Don't drive until your doctor says you can. This will be around
3–6weeks after surgery. This is important for many reasons. Soreness or stiffness may make driving uncomfortable. And you shouldn't drive when you're taking pain medication.
Work. How soon you can return to work depends on your job. You may be told you can return to work
3–12weeks after surgery.
Sexual intercourse. Avoid sex for
4–6weeks. When you do have sex, use positions that don't strain your breastbone. Talk to your doctor if you're concerned.
Caring for Your Incisions
Your incisions may be bruised, itchy, numb, and sore. After a shower, pat them dry (don't rub). Don't use lotion or powder. Be sure to check the incisions every day. This way you'll see any signs of problems early.
As Your Breastbone Heals
Don't be surprised if you feel sharp pains in your chest as your breastbone heals. You may also notice that changes in the weather make your incision hurt. These pains feel different from angina and are most likely not signs of a heart attack. If you have questions about what you're feeling, or if your pain isn't managed by medication, call your healthcare provider.

Tibetan / Vajrayana
Vajrayana Buddhism is most closely associated with Tibet and can be characterized by the figure of the siddha, the master whose spiritual realization is so profound that he or she has power over the phenomenal world, and in whom the profundity and vastness of absolute truth is fully and completely manifested. Many of our most well-known authors come from this tradition of Tibetan Buddhism .
[Note: The tags for the various schools are not definitive as many books span multiple traditions, etc. They are meant to use as a starting point for exploring this collection.]
Cutting Through Spiritual MaterialismIn this modern spiritual classic, the Tibetan meditation master Chögyam Trungpa highlights a common pitfall to which every aspirant on the spiritual path falls prey: what he calls spiritual materialism. The universal human tendency, he shows, is to see spirituality as a process of self-improvement—the impulse to develop and refine the ego when the ego is, by nature, essentially empty. "The problem," Trungpa says, "is that ego can convert anything… Read More

text: Hello, My first truck was a 1997 Ford F-150...but someone was looking out for me and had me slam my truck into a concrete divider in which gave me the option to upgrade to a Chevy :lol: yeah, driving in the pouring rain over 60 on the interstate is not a great idea. Hydroplaning is not fun and I don't plan on doing it again anytime soon haha. I bought my first GM vehicle after wreck, which was a 2007 Chevrolet Silverado crewcab. I loved it and enjoyed driving it but lost my job and had to trade it in for a used Jaguar....worst decision I ever made haha. To make a long story short, I now own a BLACK 2007 GMC Sierra Crewcab SLE. I should have learned my lesson with black vehicles when I purchased the Chevy...but something about a black vehicle that just looks GREAT. The clear-coat on my truck was chipping in one spot so I brought it in to have some warranty work done to it. They fixed the clear-coat but when doing so they got over spray all over my vehicle. So they used clay magic to remove all of the over spray which was fine until a few days later the swirl marks came up. They had buffed my BLACK truck with a high-speed buffer and did not do a good job of it at all. I tried to make them correct it but they said they were not going to re-paint it....I had them pay a guy $300 to remove the swirls and well they were gone for only a few days but returned. So now I am SOL and have no way of removing these swirls. Any suggestions???

Four-Season Fun by Lake Chelan
Mountain View Lodge • Manson, WA
Escape Kit
- A Two-Night Stay for Two in a One-Bedroom Unit
- Bottle of Local Wine and Fresh-Baked Cookies Upon Arrival
- Wine Tasting at The Blending Room with Cheese Plate from Fromaggio Artisan Cheese Shop
- Combine Vouchers to Stay for Up to Four Nights
The Destination
Lakeside retreats can seem self-explanatory—you retreat to a lake, after all. But things get a lot more interesting when that body of water is one of the most remarkable in the world: the 1,500-feet-deep Lake Chelan. "Lake Chelan, often compared to Lake Lucerne in Switzerland, is a true natural wonder, warm as any summer beach at one end, glacier-chilled and full of Kokanee salmon at the other," says The New York Times. "The most productive apple orchards in the country cling to the sunny hillsides in the dry part, while moss-covered homesteads and the state's only one-room schoolhouse await the explorer's eye near Stehekin." The area serves as a favorite beach destination for western Washingtonians, offering a landscape as varied as the seasons.
The Digs
No matter the temperatures outside, guests always receive a cheery welcome at Mountain View Lodge. This family-friendly retreat charms with a laid-back atmosphere and plenty of space for all kinds of outdoor fun. Accommodations are tidy units with microwaves, refrigerators, and complimentary wireless Internet. In the summer months, there's no shortage of activity under the pavilion, where visitors gather around grills to barbecue and socialize. Attached to the seasonal pool is a hot tub that bubbles with warmth all year long.
The Diversions
• Nosh on aged cheeses at Fromaggio
• Hike or bike Lakeshore Trail
• Taste wines at The Blending Room
• Try your luck at Mill Bay Casino

Hey gang! I shot a video of the hive inspection that my son and I did yesterday. He narrated quite a bit!
I have some concerns about the first hive. A lot of dead bees in the grass and the number of bees in the hive is dwindling. We think that a neighbor's pesticide may be the cause. I'm going to take a closer look tomorrow to see if I can see any more eggs or larvae, but it looks like the hive is heading toward a collapse.
My mentor is giving me some suggestions on ways to help it bounce back by transferring some frames from the other hive once they are full of capped brood and eggs, and I think that's worth a shot.
Any other thoughts or ideas would be greatly appreciated!

Originating in Canada, the Idle No More Movement has captured news headlines and the imagination of activists across the world. Activist Wes Elliott will explain its origins in recent events and long-term activism. The talk will include ways that both pan-native and political allies (Latinos, grass-root organizations, leftists, environmentalists, and other indigenous causes, including for Palestinian rights, are linked and can support each other.)
Elliott lives on the Haudenosaunee Six Nations reserve, is a member of the Men's Fire, and serves as a Land Defender. He is a part of the Haudenosaunee negotiating team with Canada and Ontario. He has spoken on numerous panels dealing with native and environmental issues. He has been involved in recovering a disputed treaty site, served as a part of the Peace Convoy from Six Nations sent to aid the Akwesasne in a protest against armed Canadian border guards on their land. He served as a magistrate of conscience on the 2012 Tribunal of the Cuban 5 in Toronto. Recently he participated in the Haudenosaunee shutdown of four development sites violating treaty land. He is an Idle No More (INM) activist who has never been idle.

Defending champion Victoria Azarenka was quick to speak up for the depth of women's tennis after cruising into the third round of the Australian Open.
Russian Maria Sharapova has led a march of leading players who have strolled through the early rounds with little effort. The third seed has started her campaign without conceding a game in her first two rounds.
It's the most effortless start to a Grand Slam since Australian Wendy Turnbull's feat at the 1985 Open.
Former winner and favourite Serena Williams has been almost as ruthless, despite playing with an ankle injury suffered in round one.
Williams failed to concede a game in her opening match then reached the third round with a 6-2, 6-0 win over Spaniard Garbine Muguruza.
But Azarenka, the world No 1, said after beating Greek player Eleni Daniilidou 6-1, 6-0 in just 55 minutes, the scoreline could be deceiving.
"Well, I think it's really competitive," she said. "The score sometimes doesn't tell the whole story ...
to win matches like 0-0, it requires a lot of discipline, a lot of focus ... It seems like everybody is in great form."
Azarenka, who conceded five games in her first match, said she was now in a "competitive mode".
"I felt really good, I enjoyed a lot the way I was focused," she said.
But she warned that no top player could afford to be blase about their lower-ranked opponents, even if the scoreline was flattering.
"Never underestimate anybody. Anybody on a given day can play an outstanding match, especially when they have nothing to lose."
Serena Williams said she believed her ankle was improving daily.
"I was doing everything I could from icing it to massage and I woke up this morning and said to myself 'this feels pretty good'. I'm just going to keep my fingers crossed."
Late last night, Roger Federer continued his bid for a fifth Australian Open title, advancing to the third round with a 6-3, 6-4, 6-4 win over Russian veteran Nikolay Davydenko.
The 31-year-old Swiss star will now play Bernard Tomic, Australia's last player surviving in the singles draw.
Also last night, former US Open winner Juan Martin del Potro beat German Benjamin Becker 6-2 6-4 6-2.
Earlier, US Open champion Andy Murray had a 6-2, 6-2, 6-4 victory over Joao Sousa of Portugal.
Murray didn't allow Sousa a single break-point chance in the steamy conditions.
Top results
3-Andy Murray (GBR) bt Joao Sousa (POR) 6-2 6-2 6-4.
3-Serena Williams (USA) bt Garbine Muguruza (ESP) 6-2 6-0.
1-Victoria Azarenka (BLR) bt Eleni Daniilidou (GRE) 6-1 6-0.
2-Roger Federer (SWI) bt Nikolay Davydenko (RUS) 6-3 6-4 6-4
6-Juan Martin del Potro (ARG) bt Benjamin Becker (GER) 6-2, 6-4, 6-2.

Jul 16, 2012 at 9:12 am #1292050
Andrew GaidusMember
@ajg519Locale: Northeast U.S.
Hey all,
I'll be visiting Vancouver this August and am looking to go out 3 night trip.I've heard good things about the West Coast Trail in Pacific Rim National Park, but am not sure I have the time to make it all the way out there from the city. Any recommendations for something closer? Maybe in Garibaldi Park?
AndrewJul 16, 2012 at 4:13 pm #1895257
wander lustSpectator
the howe sound crest trail is amazing, you can see Vancouver at night.
the juan de fuca trail should be doable in 3 days.
note that you will spend more money getting to vancouver island and back to vancouver.
garibaldi will be more crowded.
check the conditions in the mountains before you go, though. my friends in vancouver told me that there is still quite a bit of snow around.
I would do the howe sound, cause you will get to see some mountains and the ocean and incredible views.
enjoy your time there and don't forget to get some amazing sushi.Jul 16, 2012 at 5:41 pm #1895294
Hiking the WCT in 3 nights would be tough….that's already an aggressive pace for this technical hike and if you lose the first and last days getting to/from the area then you're really low on time to do it. It's also expensive if you're paying ferry fees, $125 to hike the trail, another $125 for the shuttle back to the start etc.
If you are going to Vancouver Island, the Juan de Fuca trail (immediately south of the WCT on the same coast) is easier to hike because it's shorter (48km vs 75km), much cheaper ($5/day instead of $125) and there is a road that parallels the hike so you can hitch back to the start when you're done, and there are some early bail out options if you're low on time. China Beach to Sombreo Beach would be a nice casual trip in 3-4 days if you're not into pushing the pace. 4 days/3 nights would be decent clip on the JDF because it's somewhat slow hiking, but it would be entirely do-able if you're motivated.
I agree with Stefan that the Howe Sound Crest Trail (HSCT) would be a very nice option. This is my recommendation as well. It starts right at the end of the city, so you can just take city transit and a short taxi ride to the start if you don't have a car. It's a beautiful hike with amazing views of the coast mountains and the ocean. Amazingly, very few people hike this once you're past the Lions. It's only 28km (16 miles) but it's slow going (ie. 1mph average) because the trail is so rugged and undulating on mountain ridges. 3 days/2 nights is about normal, but you could easily spend 3 nights on the trail. If you're thinking of doing this one then I can go into more detail for you. Good fishing at Deeks Lake.
Garibaldi has some amazing scenery and some really nice trails, but it lacks any longer hikes. The trail networks in the different areas of the park do not connect, so it's tough to put together a hike that is more than one night long – unless you're just there to camp. You can put together a 20-30 mile trip, but the trails are mostly so nice that you could hike that in 8-12 hours. I've been meaning to connect all the different networks of trails in Garibaldi with some bushwacking and packrafting to create a long Elfin Lakes to Wedgemont traverse, but I've yet to get it done.Jul 19, 2012 at 5:14 pm #1896086
Bradley DanylukBPL Member
Elfin Lakes gets you above treeline faster than anything, and is freaking gorgeous. From there there as a base there are several options for summits and networking with other trails as Dan mentioned.
Other options – you could look into Golden Ears park, Manning Park or sections of of the Stein Valley system, though the last two should be enjoyed with more time on your hands probably.
http://www.clubtread.com/ is the primary local backpackers' forum for many trip suggestions and current route conditions.
While Garibaldi is certainly beautiful, only go if you enjoy spending the evening socializing with other hikers and pitched on wooden pads.Jul 21, 2012 at 8:13 pm #1896575
Give the Juan de Fuca Trail a try. It is essentially a West Coast Trail 'lite' option. If you like it you will want to hike the WCT because it is not just a bit better but an entire magnitude better. If you are familiar with coastal hiking and have a light pack it is not hard to do it overnight. A couple of days makes for a super easy and relaxing trip. I live in Victoria. Drop me a line and I will go on the hike with you if you want! I've hiked it 3 times this year:
Early Feburary crazy wet and muddy.
April nice hiking weather rained only at night. Muddy
Late May. Warm, windy, mud was better. No rain.
August can be warm hiking but the trail will be nice and dry!Jul 21, 2012 at 10:04 pm #1896591
Is that the JDF or WCT you've done three times this year? I've been wanting to do the WCT in the winter – likely utilizing a packraft for Nitinat Narrows.Jul 22, 2012 at 7:41 am #1896637
It is the JDF that I have been on this year. I did the WCT last summer though. Unfortunately the WCT is closed from October to May. The Nitnat has some pretty good flow to it and I personally would not want to pack raft it, but to each their own. The guy that runs the boat across has plenty of stories of people atempting to cross by themsevles and being swept either towards the ocean or into Nitnat Lake.Jul 22, 2012 at 12:02 pm #1896666
Yeah I'd definately do the research ahead of time so I'd be crossing at a time when there isn't a strong current one way or the other. I don't know if it'll ever happen – just an idea that appeals to me because of the lack of crowds, more challenging weather/trail conditions and avoiding the $125 fee.
There is a YouTube video of a guy that hikes the WCT in January and he brings a wetsuit and swims the narrows along with a couple others. Not really my favourite strategy, but an impressive endeavour.Jul 22, 2012 at 5:35 pm #1896725
Swimming the Nitnat Narrows in January is pretty crazy! I too used to think that the hiking fee was too steep. I think was $167 excluding reservation fee ($24 I think) or the bus back to the other end for another $75. I avoided the trail because of that mostly doing trips of 1 or 2 weeks in Strathcona Park instead. But last year with all the lingering snow in the mountains we made a last minute plan to hike the WCT. As last minute as changing plans on Tuesday and leaving on Thursday. The hike was worth every single penny. The crowds were not bad at all; the campsite are busy but there is plenty of room. We only briefly saw a few people on the trail. I'd do it again despite the cost.Jul 22, 2012 at 6:41 pm #1896737
What 4-10 day hikes do you recommend in Strathcona? I've been meaning to visit this park but I keep winding up elsewhere on the island. Last summer I hiked JDF, Cape Scott, Carmanah, Clayoquot Valley Witness Trail and this summer I was on the Wildside trail on Flores Island.Jul 22, 2012 at 7:29 pm #1896751
It is hard to beat the trip from Elk River Valley to the mine site. You can climb Golden Hinde on the way if you have the time/weather/energy. Be prepared for snow below the tree line and 'lay of the land' navigation. It is a route and snow especially will hide any bits of a path. I would recommend about a week for the approximately 57km considering snow and first time through the area.
If you want something shorter then I can't recommend the Comox Glacier to Buttle Lake route enough. I did it in 4 days a few years back. It is pretty straight forward above treeline hiking with the exception of getting around Mt Harmstrom to the Cliffe Glacier. You need to find the right gully to descend 1/2 way down and then traverse slightly right to the adjacent gully to gain access to the Cliffe Glacier. A rope is useful for non climbers or if the gully is wet. The glaciers are pretty benign but there is always a possibility for crevasses. I have never had issues here.
To add more length (2 days) to the trip you can continue around Mt Septimus instead of descending to Buttle Lake via Flower Ridge. The upper Price Creek valley from Green Lake to the ascent to Cream Lake is one heck of a bushbash. It took us about 7hrs to travel the 2.5km several years ago but Green Lake was worth it. Other option is around the Septimus Massif on the south side. Involves travel on ice. You can either exit at the Price Creek trailhead or the Bedwell Lake trailhead.
Sadly I have not done the Marble Meadows section of the park as it require a boat to cross Buttle Lake but I have heard many a good thing and you can link it up to either the mine trail head or the Elk River Valley.
I could list more if you want. All the routes in the park are awesome but fairly challenging. Anything more than a day from a trailhead is a remote route and you will probably not see another person. Check out the Island Alpine Guide by Phil Stone, Hiking Trails III, and http://www.islandhikes.com
If you want to hook up for a hike some time I am always looking for someone to hike with.Jul 22, 2012 at 9:37 pm #1896776
Thanks for all the great trip ideas – very much appreciated. Strathcona seems like such a great park to explore. So much to do…
I'd love to go for a hike sometime, but unfortunately I can't do it this summer because I'm moving in a couple weeks to finish some university coursework (Wildlife Biology). So I'm going to be in Thunder Bay, ON for the school year and then hopefully doing an M.Sc. back out West the year after. I've bookmarked this thread, so hopefully I'm back out West next summer and then I'll read this for some Strathcona ideas and shoot you a message.Jul 23, 2012 at 7:28 am #1896826

I hiked in the Forbidden Plateau a little. Courtenay up to ski area. Several trails out of the ski area.
Nice because there's a paved road to trailhead which is at elevation, so the entire hike is alpine. It's at the Southeast corner of the park so closer to civilization – less driving time.

2 years ago I noticed a large hive in a tree in my yard. I wasn't too concerned as I thought it was cool. in time I showed my neighbors and now one is freaking out wanting them gone. So far as I know, no one has experienced any stings or anything negative. Ive made a few phone calls to folks whom ive found on internet searches. So far the only taker is someone who offered to ELIMINATE them for a fee of $500. WHAT? For that they can stay ther as far as Im concerned.
Now more info... It IS a hive not a swarm. Im no apiary expert by no means, but I think I can recognize a hive. Currently I have a mass of honeycomb approx 24"wide x 30" long x 8"-10" deep 20 feet up in a tree in my front yard. I was trimming branches with a reciprocating saw while on a ladder. I saw the hive but initially thought it was a squirrels nest. I got within 5' of it before I noticed it was moving. so they are not aggressive. The beekeepers I did find via the web didn't want to mess with them because of the height of the hive.
I live in the Dallas metro mess but was raised in the country. I'm def not going to PAY someone to eradicate them. I'm sure I could do that myself with a garden sprayer and some gasoline! I would like to know if there is anyone in my area that would like to remove the hive. I would also like to know how I could harvest some of the honey without a hospital visit. I have no idea what time of the year is best for this.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Nottingham receives Ashes plaudits
With Trent Bridge set to host the Twenty20 Cup Finals Day as well as a Test between England and Sri Lanka and a floodlit international between England and Pakistan, Brewer says 2006 will be another exciting summer for the East Midlands.
He said: ?The Test was a phenomenal success for all involved and the mark of that was not only a well-behaved capacity crowd at Trent Bridge, but also 10,000 people having a wonderful time at Wollaton Park.
?It was a great event for the club but it also showed in a wider context how well equipped the city of Nottingham is to stage big international events.
?The eyes of the world were on the city and everything went very smoothly. Local businesses have benefited enormously and with a Test match, the Twenty20 Cup Finals Day and a floodlit international, we?re already looking forward to another big year in 2006.?
Club photographer Sam Bowles was at the heart of the action, and has put together a collection of images from one of the most exciting Tests in living memory.

I started out keeping bees with Buckfasts,
but that was years ago. I still don't own
a bee suit, and the only gloves I own are
for snowball fights.
It is true that the Canadians have done
less "tinkering" with their Buckfast lines,
and therefore are "truer" to the Brother Adam
version of Buckfast. But I'm sure that each
and every producer of Buckfasts has a different
tale to tell, and a bee that is slightly
different from the others.
That's why I like NWCs - NWC producers are
producing a very consistent bee, and I can
expect similar, if not identical performance
regardless of the producer.
I guess we need revision numbers for bees,
just like software. I'm flying NWC version
8.6? Well, not today. It was too cold.
Every bee was grounded.

Can someone tell me what site has the patterns for the thigh, shin, and ammo pouches?
Printable View
Can someone tell me what site has the patterns for the thigh, shin, and ammo pouches?
Using the reference pics, I guestimated the ammo pouches to be 4" tall x 1-7/8" wide x 1-7/8" deep. I have the side pouch dimensions written down somewhere, I just have to look for them.
"Build your own Boba Fett" and "The ultimate Boba Fett costume" sites both have ammo pouch info. Obi-Wan's Jedi accademy may also be worth a look.
Not sure re: thigh pouches.
OK, I made some vinyl pouches using the 3" X 2" X 1" alternative, 2 part, pattern in Obi-wan's Jedi accademy. They looked a bit small.
I played around with the sizes a bit and have now cut out my upgraded leather ones in 3 1/4" X 2 1/8" X 1 1/4". They look a little better, I have yet to stitch'glue them, but have just got a digital camera (Wooooohooooo), so I'll post my progress in a seperate post. Hard drive at home just went crunch (D'oh) so it may be a few days/weeks.
It was fairly easy to adjust the template. Print it off, then draw out your own using the same basic shape, but the new measurements. Voilá. Like with everything else doing this, if it looks proportionate on you, it's right, even if not screen accurate.
Hope this helps.
I got some templates for the boba fett pouches but you need a A1 plotter to plot them off. If you need any PM me as i can supply papercopies in the post
heres a sample pic of them, which i use for my scout costume
I found out these are the same pattern used on the boba, snowtrooper and scout costumes
Neil, you are the font of all knowledge when it comes to templates of stuff. :D
Good lad.
Paper copies would be great.
Do you need any payment? PM me with what you need and I'll get address details to ya.
Han-Hunter PM sent, any problems let me know
PM right back at ya'
PM sent
Be VERY wary of ANY dimension syou get from those sites. Much of that info is very old and MANY new ref pics have become available since then. Always verify and check for yourself. I believe you will find that the 3" height measurement is considerably too short. I am by no means stating this as definitive fact but my own research has pointed me closer to a measurement of 4.5" X 1.85" Again, these are ONLY rough estimates and I would STRONGLY encourage you to look these things up for yourself instead of taking ANYONE else's word for it. Even mine. :)

Matched savings help low-income people reach goals
BEND, Ore. - A matched savings program run by HomeSource of NeighborImpact provides financial incentives to help low income households achieve long-held savings goals.
For every dollar invested into the program also known as an individual development account (IDA), $3 are matched by the state.
"The spirit of the matched savings program is to help people develop regular savings habits," notes Laura Fritz, Housing Director of NeighborImpact. "Saving on a regular basis is key in dealing with the unexpected expenses that arise whether you run a business, own a home, or are going to school."
Income-qualified households identify a savings goal such as home ownership, creating or expanding a business, paying for higher education, or making repairs to their home to address health and safety issues.
Clients develop an action plan during their participation in the program that includes mandatory participation in financial fitness classes and meeting with a financial coach.
Clients work with a coach to get on a savings plan and learn skills that will help them be successful when they achieve their savings goal.
Income restrictions do apply to the IDA program. For example, a four-person household in Crook or Jefferson County would have to earn $51,120 a year or less to qualify for the program. A four-person household in Deschutes County would have to earn $53,100 a year or less to meet income restrictions.
The funds, made possible by state tax credits, enable an individual to receive an additional three dollars for every dollar they save.
"This program is one of the most interesting programs available today," says Fritz. "It promotes asset-building while also encouraging skill development and self-sufficiency."
Households must participate in the IDA program for a minimum of six months and earn 80% or less of the family median income in their county. Anyone interested in applying for the program should contact Yolanda Vanderpool at 541-323-6564 or email@example.com Please refer to the website www.homeownershipcenter.org for income restrictions and additional information.
About HomeSource of NeighborImpact: HomeSource of NeighborImpact offers a variety of programs including foreclosure preventions classes and counseling, first time homeownership classes sand coaching, reverse mortgage counseling, financial literacy classes and coaching, credit counseling as well as the matched savings program (IDA). Since 1985, NeighborImpact has been a leader in developing solutions and bringing resources to Crook, Jefferson and Deschutes County.

I am going bald now bought this as a 53 Huffy, think it's more in the 40's with the paint scheme and plain chainguard originally planned on putting a set of chopper/springer forks on it, but after some confusion with the headtube size I went with a set of forks, from a 50's Huffy, I got from a forum member here still did not fit correctly...not a huge deal easy fix for the LBS, but this also made me question the year.. also 26" tires fit on it, but I am not sure if it was a 26" to begin with.. drudging forward anyway. also, apparently there are two different 1" headset sizes.. mine was the irregular one.. of course.. the LBS also hooked me up with a new headset Thanks guys got most of the original hardware still, and it cleaned up nicely got it back from the LBS tonight and had to throw it sorta together, just to make sure it fits.. not that I am impatient or anything :lol: bars are also from another 50's Huffy. Need to finish sanding this down and then paint.. summers coming way too fast now any tips, pointers, comments are more than welcome, and very appreciated

This new edition of Band-in-a-Box Pro for Windows or Mac is an intelligent automatic accompaniment program for your multimedia computer. Just type in the chords for any song using standard chord symbols (like C, Fm7, or C13b9), choose the style you'd like, and Band-in-a-Box does the rest. Band-in-a-Box automatically generates a complete professional-quality arrangement of piano, bass, drums, guitar, and strings or horns. Plus, add REAL accompaniment to your song with RealTracks. These are recordings of top studio musicians that replace the MIDI track with audio instruments. They sound like real musicians, because they ARE real musicians! We've added a new MIDI DXi/VST synth (Sample Tank) and have added some great High Quality ("Hi-Q") MIDI Sounds. These Hi-Q sounds make the MIDI tracks (both regular and MIDI Super Tracks), sound much better. We've added Performance Tracks - Artist's Performances on the Melody track, to showcase the Band-in-a-Box RealTracks demos playing along to an artist performing the melody. These are great for listening or for learning-from-the-Pros (since notation/tab shows for the performances). "Print to PDF" to save your printouts directly as a PDF file, or share your arrangements with the added SoundCloud.com integration and Drop Box integration. There are a number of RealTracks enhancements including "Pick best soloist RealTracks" that shows you the soloists that best match the genre, tempo, and feel of your song, and many more.
Band-in-a-Box Pro includes the following:
- Band-in-a-Box 2013 RealBand 2013 ProReal Combos
- Over 30 RealTracks instruments in 9 bands and Real Drums Set 1
- MIDI Styles Sets 0-3 plus 100 assorted: Over 300 MIDI styles total
- MIDI Soloist Set 1: Over 300 MIDI styles total.
- MIDI Melodist Set 1: 100 MIDI Solos in a variety of instruments
- Loops Set 1: Nature Sounds and Percussion Loops

Under house arrest in Belarus for not playing by the rules
It has been four long months since security forces snatched Irina Khalip, at left, from Minsk's Independence Square while she was reporting on a protest of the flawed December 19 Belarusian presidential vote.
While Khalip was giving a live account from the square to the Russian radio station Ekho Moskvy, riot police beat her and forcibly drove her away. (Her husband, opposition presidential candidate Andrei Sannikov, was repeatedly struck with clubs and also arrested. He remains imprisoned today.) Khalip was one of at least 20 journalists detained that night, but her treatment has been especially harsh.
