To date, there has been limited experience with overdosage of fluvastatin. If an overdose occurs, it should be treated symptomatically with laboratory monitoring and supportive measures should be instituted as required. The dialyzability of fluvastatin sodium and of its metabolites in humans is not known at present [see WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS].
In the pediatric population, there have been reports of overdosage with fluvastatin sodium in children including a 2 year-old and the other 3 years of age, either of whom may have possibly ingested fluvastatin sodium. The maximum amount of fluvastatin sodium that could have been ingested was 80 mg (4 x 20 mg capsules). Vomiting was induced by ipecac in both children and no capsules were noted in their emesis. Neither child experienced any adverse symptoms and both recovered from the incident without problems.
In the postmarketing experience there have been reports of accidental ingestion of LESCOL tablets in infants up to 3 years of age. In one case, increased serum CPK values were noted. There have been reports of intentional overdose in adolescents with the development of hepatic enzyme elevations, convulsions and gastroenteritis/vomiting/diarrhea. One case of intentional overdose as suicide attempt in a 15 year-old female reported ingestion of 2,800 mg LESCOL XL with hepatic enzyme elevation.
Hypersensitivity to any Component of this Medication
LESCOL and LESCOL XL are contraindicated in patients with hypersensitivity to any component of this medication.
Active Liver Disease
LESCOL and LESCOL XL are contraindicated in patients with active liver disease or unexplained, persistent elevations in serum transaminases [see WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS].
LESCOL and LESCOL XL are contraindicated in women who are pregnant or may become pregnant. Serum cholesterol and triglycerides increase during normal pregnancy, and cholesterol or cholesterol derivatives are essential for fetal development. LESCOL and LESCOL XL may cause fetal harm when administered to pregnant women. Atherosclerosis is a chronic process and the discontinuation of lipid-lowering drugs during pregnancy should have little impact on the outcome of long-term therapy of primary hypercholesterolemia.
LESCOL and LESCOL XL should be administered to women of childbearing age only when such patients are highly unlikely to conceive and have been informed of the potential hazards. If the patient becomes pregnant while taking this drug, LESCOL and LESCOL XL should be discontinued and the patient should be apprised of the potential hazard to the fetus [see Use In Specific Populations].
Nursing Mothers
Fluvastatin is secreted into the breast milk of animals and because HMG-CoA reductase inhibitors have the potential to cause serious adverse reactions in nursing infants, women who require treatment with LESCOL or LESCOL XL should be advised not to breastfeed their infants [see Use In Specific Populations].This monograph has been modified to include the generic and brand name in many instances.

Rated as a four-star public golf course by Golf Digest, our golf course is much more than a pleasant diversion for our guests. It is its own destination for appreciative golfers who know a top-notch track when they see one. Salt Fork State Park Golf Course offers an 18-hole course full of rolling fairways and large undulating greens that will challenge even the most experienced golfer. Its panoramic views and abundant wildlife are striking. Measuring only 6,056 yards from the white tees, the course plays considerably longer than expected because of the numerous uphill approach shots.
Longfellow National Historic Site preserves the home of Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, one of the world's foremost 19th century poets. The house also served as headquarters for General George Washington during the Siege of Boston, July 1775 - April 1776. In addition to its rich history, the site offers unique opportunities to explore the themes of 19th century literature and the arts.
Our Maryland golf course has two finishing holes destined to be some of the region's most talked-about. The 17th is a par 3 that stretches 200 yards from the tips. Awaiting the bold player is a dramatic carry over Shoal Creek to a large putting surface guarded by three artfully crafted bunkers. The green is backdropped by majestic trees and a stunning vista of the broad Choptank River that flows into Chesapeake Bay.
Located in Cambridge, Nebraska, Cross Creek Golf Links has become "Southwest Nebraska's Diamond in the Rough." As the longest public golf course in the state, measuring 7,205 yards from the tips, Cross Creek offers a variety of teeing areas, wide fairways, and large greens allowing each golfer to enjoy the experience regardless of age or ability.

Wilhelm Frederick von Ludwig
Wilhelm Frederick von Ludwig (September 16, 1790 – December 14, 1865) was a German physician known for his 1836 publication on the condition now known as Ludwig's angina.
Early life[edit]
Ludwig was born in Uhlbach (near Stuttgart) in the state of Württemberg. His father was a clergyman and served as his childhood teacher. At the age of 10, he was sent to attend the Latin school at Markgröningen. Ludwig showed promise in medicine at an early age, and at 14, he went to Neuenburg[disambiguation needed] to continue his classical studies while beginning to study medicine under a surgeon. Ludwig received a certificate of proficiency in 1807, whereupon he went on to study surgery, medicine, and obstetrics at the University of Tübingen. His performance was so exemplary that he was awarded a gold medal by King Frederick I in 1809—before graduating—for the advancement of surgery. In July 1811, Ludwig received his doctorate.
Unfortunately, before he could commence his study tour, Napoleon attempted to conquer Russia, and previously exempt students were called to service. Ludwig served initially as the doctor for 3rd Infantry at the Schorndorf garrison, and subsequently as director for the Württemberg field hospital at Smolensk in 1812.
He contracted typhus and was captured by the Russians; after recovering from typhus, he served as a Russian noblewoman's personal physician. Once he was freed from Russian capture in 1814, Ludwig returned home and directed a typhus hospital in Hohenheim, where he completed his military service in 1815.
Shortly after leaving the military, Ludwig was honored with title of full professor of surgery and obstetrics at Tübingen in 1815. Before fulfilling it, however, he commenced his initially planned study tour that had been put off in light of the war. Upon returning to Tübingen in 1816, Ludwig, having experienced the equipment available at other facilities in Germany, immediately supplemented Tübingen clinic's own supplies and reference literature with his own salary.
When supplies were similarly lacking in the following year, Ludwig petitioned the king for a higher salary. In response, Ludwig was appointed as one of King Wilhelm I's personal physicians (King Frederick had died the previous year). Ludwig remained in Tübingen until a successor could take his place in 1817.
When Ludwig went to Stuttgart to serve the king, he was quickly recognized as a great diagnostician, and he was soon promoted to be the royal family's chief physician.
He remained in Stuttgart for most of the remainder of his life; between 1835 and 1846, he served as director of the medical college, president of the Württemberg Medical Association, and chairman of the first Stuttgart scientific congress's medical section.
Ludwig published his now-famous paper on Ludwig's angina with no title in 1836. A colleague dubbed the condition "Angina Ludovici" (Ludwig's angina) a year later.
Later life[edit]
Ludwig retired in 1855 at the age of 65. He never married.
Beginning only in his seventies, the physician suffered several health problems, including a bladder stone removed during 1865 in two separate sessions a few months apart. Somewhat ironically, he died December 1865 a week after the onset of an unspecified neck inflammation, which was probably not the condition that bears his name.

Date: June 19 2013
Some dire predictions have been made recently regarding Michael Clarke's long-term future in cricket but the Australian captain says he doesn't believe his degenerative back condition is getting closer to requiring a serious operation.
Clarke says he's aware of speculation suggesting he'll quite likely require some sort of spinal fusion in coming years, something that would probably end his career.
And Clarke can't rule out that possibility.
But the skipper, who made an encouraging return to training last weekend, says recent setbacks with his back won't damage his optimmism that he can manage his condition through back-to-back Ashes series.
Clarke on track to play in the opening match of the Ashes tour next week against Somerset after missing the Champions Trophy tournament.
"I've been asked that (needing an operation) a number of times," Clarke, 32, told AAP.
"In my mind I'm a long way from an operation.
"But you should never rule out anything.
"With anybody, you can come to training and get injured and need an operation. So I'm not going to sit here and say I'll never need an operation on my back.
"I hope I never need an operation on my back. But at the moment I think I'm in great hands ... and confident once I get out there I'll be able to continue my career like I have done so far.
"I'm very confident I've got a few years left in me yet."
Clarke has battled his chronic lower back condition since he was 17 years old, and really knows nothing else.
It's helped breed a work ethic that coaches and teammates describe as almost unrivalled in cricket.
By his own admission, Clarke has had to develop a glass half-full attitude towards his back that others may not share.
He says there were times in his younger years when he considered giving the game away due to the pain and the difficulties of getting himself on the paddock.
Clarke missed the first Test of his career through injury in India in March, and after another setback upon arriving in the UK prior to the Champions Trophy, he received around-the-clock specialist treatment on his own in London.
But Clarke refuses to accept his condition is getting worse and has given no thought to scaling back the amount of cricket he plays to improve his longevity.
"At the moment I'm enjoying playing one day cricket and Test cricket and I want to continue doing that for a lot longer yet," he said.
"I'd like to hope I'm in no different position now than I have been throughout my career.
"I think there would have been a number of times as a young player where it would have been very easy to walk away.
"For me I have to stay nice and positive, there's no doubt about it."

Pension reform hinges on Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger's promise that he'll veto any budget proposal that does not include "two-tier" retirement benefits, according to Republican lawmakers.
"There is a really good chance he will keep his promise," said state Sen. Bob Dutton, R-Rancho Cucamonga. "He's got nothing to lose."
Under a two-tier system, current workers would keep the retirement plans they've been promised, but all new employees would get reduced benefits.
Over the past decade, pension costs for public workers have increased 2,000 percent and are grossly adding to the insolvency of state and many municipal governments, said state Sen. Bob Huff, R-Walnut.
"The solution is simple," Huff said. "California must reduce the benefits for newly hired state workers."
But that proposal did not sit well with Senate Public Employment and Retirement Committee. Last week, it thwarted Senate Bill 919, which would require new hires to contribute more and work longer in order to receive pensions.
The party-line defeat followed a request from the California Public Employees' Retirement System that the state pay $3.9 billion to cover its employee pensions in the new fiscal year - a $600 million increase in funding.
CalPERS administers retirement and health benefits for 1.6 million active and retired public employees and their families on behalf of more than 3,000 employers.
It adjusts employer contribution rates every year based partly on whether the pension fund gains or loses in its investments.
The need for last week's hike was attributed to retirees living longer and workers retiring slightly earlier. It was also to compensate for the fund's investment losses during the recent recession.
Dutton said he was concerned with the fund's sustainability.
"Public pensions have become very generous, and not only that, but unsupportable," he said.
The state contribution to CalPERS in fiscal year 1998-99 was $800 million - about one-fifth of the current funding demand.
An April study released by Stanford University's School of Public Policy showed that, in the next 16 years, the state's three biggest public-employee pension funds will be $500 billion short of meeting their future obligations.
These costs are creating a quickly expanding financial sinkhole that taxpayers will be forced to fund when CalPERS investments are not able to, Huff said.
Like Schwarzenegger and Huff, Dutton is also in support of a two-tier pension system.
"New hires would be told, `Your pension is accumulated at an x rate, and will you accept the job, yes or no?"' he said. "That is the easiest thing to do. It makes sense, and it's more sustainable. But the pressure from the unions has caused S.B. 919 to fail."
State Sen. Gloria Negrete McLeod, D-Montclair, said dealing with public pension issues requires input from public employers.
"Generally, we can't touch pensions outside of government or city districts," McLeod said. "If it goes through, the cities will file suits. ... You can't just say you want pension reform and that's it."
According to California State Employee Association, reducing retirement benefits for future retirees will not translate into more money for schools, roads and health care for decades to come.
"Savings for the state and local budgets would not be seen until those employees retire - around 20 (to) 30 years from now," CSEA stated on its website.
Although there are some pension abuses, a claim that public employee pensions are too generous does not hold water, CSEA said.
The average pension retirement check in California is about $25,000 - less than what's needed to get by a year.
Retirees receive an average of a little more than $2,000 a month in benefits and cutting these benefits for future workers is unfair and will force these workers to retire in poverty, the statement said.
Schwarzenegger said in April that the pension system's unfunded liabilities represent the single biggest threat to California's fiscal health.
"I refuse to pass this crisis on to the next governor or the next Legislature," Schwarzenegger said. "Because if you don't act, if you continue to sweep those problems under the rug, you're just going to be piling on more and more debt onto our children and grandchildren."
Schwarzenegger last week signed tentative contract agreements with four state employee unions that could save the state $72 million in the next fiscal year.
The agreements that cover 23,000 employees represented by the Association of Highway Patrolmen, Department of Forestry Firefighters, Association of Psychiatric Technicians and American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees, will roll back the expansion of pension benefits adopted in 1999 and will increase employee pension contributions to a minimum of 10 percent.
To sign off on the budget, the governor is seeking similar pension reform to that proposed in the now-defeated S.B. 919: rolling back the expansion of pension benefits adopted in 1999 for all new hires, a permanent 5 percent increase in employee contributions and calculating the retirement rate based on the highest three years of wages instead of the highest single year.
"I am absolutely committed to getting pension reform done because we cannot continue down this unsustainable path that has taxpayers on the hook for $500 billion in debt," Schwarzenegger said.
Instead of declaring ultimatums to the Legislature, the governor should continue negotiating with the labor unions, said Jean Ross, an executive director of California Budget Project.
"Collective bargaining process seems to be an appropriate way to deal with this issue," Ross said.
The Associated Press contributed to this report.

Two April conferences in Jerusalem illustrated both sides of the coin of Orthodoxy in Israel, indeed Orthodoxy worldwide.
One, the much heralded "The Future of Modern Orthodoxy: Imagine the Future. Join the Conversation," under the auspices of a National Religious Party spin-off, "Ne'emanei Torah Va'Avodah," was held April 1 in Jerusalem and was predictably passionate in its denunciation of the politically inept state rabbinate and the Haredi rabbis who have the rabbinate under their thumb. Participants were privy to the usual sessions on the agunah crisis, the one-year yeshiva program for American students and the "flipping-out" phenomenon, the future of the religious kibbutz movement, and the flap over conversion.
Some of the presentations were cogent and informative; others were merely background noise. The message: The beleaguered Modern Orthodox in Israel need to work with the secular institutions of the state to create new religious institutions that will break the Haredi hegemony over religion. In the words of Rabbi Yuval Cherlow, head of the Hesder Yeshiva in Petah Tikvah and a halachic decisor of great common sense, "We should be the Rabbanut; we should not be the 'alternative.'"
But the true surprise was another conference on that very same afternoon — one that no one knew about — on the Hebrew language. What was remarkable about this second conference was that it was an academic conference on an academic topic, organized not by university professors, but by, and with papers from, Israeli Haredim.
Even more remarkable than the very occurrence of the conference was that "V'romemanu Mikol Lashon" ("You Have Raised Us Above All Other Tongues") was the only conference in anyone's memory in which Haredim participated with other non-Haredi Orthodox, including the "kippot s'rugot" — Israeli Modern Orthodox of the old NRP persuasion. Equally surprising was the fact that the conference, conducted in Hebrew (What else? Although in this era, many academic conferences in Israel are held in the Jewish lingua franca, English), was truly an academic conference: Noteworthy indeed was the high level of all the presentations and of the sophistication of the comments and challenges from the floor. Yes, there was the occasional foolish comment (to wit: "Our Hebrew is identical to that of Moshe Rabbeinu"), but these were the exceptions. There is a Hebrew word, "mtuchkam" usually imperfectly translated as "sophisticated," but meaning much more — that accurately described the give-and-take between presenters and the audience.
Conference presentations were varied, rich and fascinating. Among myriad offerings were the use of the construct form in biblical Hebrew; reflections on the "Masorah," the canonized text of the Hebrew Bible; different ways of referring to "Passover" in the Tanakh and the Talmud, reflecting changes over time in classical Hebrew; a grammatical analysis of irregularities in the "trop," the cantillation of the Torah; varied usages of verb forms in the Bible and the Mishnah, and the nominative and accusative in biblical Hebrew. Credit for the high standard of these panels and, indeed, the existence of the conference itself, goes to Rabbi Yitzhak Frank, an academic himself and author of the highly regarded "The Practical Talmud Dictionary" and "Grammar for Gemara." Frank has close ties with the Haredi world and presented a paper on "Arcana in Biblical and Talmudic Hebrew."
Who was in the room? Of the more than 100 participants — and there was absolutely no publicity about "V'romemanu Mikol Lashon" in the press or elsewhere — some three-quarters were visibly Haredim in their varied flavors, the rest Israeli Modern Orthodox. Among the Haredi participants were Ger and Slonim and even Satmar Hasidim, and a varied group of "yeshivish," non-Hasidic Haredim. There were representatives of Hardal (Haredi Dati Leumi), NRP Modern Orthodox who have taken a Haredi turn religiously and socially. There was even a sprinkling of regular university "academics" who were, in yet an additional surprise, not scapegoated or subjected to instant "herem." Their participation was full, respectful and respected. About 20 women participated, too, and although the men and women were separated by a mechitza, a partition, comments from both sides were accorded full respect.
What was going on in Jerusalem? Evaluation of these conferences is a tricky business. One might suggest that each represented a comment on Orthodoxy in Israel at a crucial juncture: "The Future of Modern Orthodoxy: Imagine the Future" tells us that things are terrible, that the centrists are under siege, that it will take nothing less than a revolution in Orthodox society and institutions in Israel to effect change. "V'romemanu Mikol Lashon" sends a very different message, a counterintuitive one, and one certainly counter to that of the Modern Orthodox discussions: The Haredi Orthodox in Israel are not dead above the neck when it comes to critical inquiry, that intellectual activity takes place in those sectors of the Orthodox world, as well.
The two conferences, taken together, in an odd way suggest a convergence of interests. But this observer is not persuaded. Could the spirit of academic inquiry evident in the Haredi Hebrew conference lead ultimately to intellectual and social ferment in the Haredi community? Will debate over the use of the sh'va na` in the Bible lead to religious and societal change? Unlikely. As for the Modern Orthodox in Israel, no one knows the answer to "Whither the Modern Orthodox?" The scenario expressed by notables such as Rebbetzin Chana Henkin, Cherlow and a professor, Daniel Sperber, a scenario of a rabbinate controlled by Haredi rabbis, appears to be on the mark. Absent a centrist takeover of the formal rabbinical institutions of power — an improbable circumstance without a critical mass of public support — the halachic ball will remain in the court of a few Haredi rabbis.
"Nothing endures but change"? Heraclitus was canny, but he clearly did not experience the Jerusalem of 2010!

Undefeated Cats lack Player of the Week
Each Pac-12 coach usually spends 5 to 10 minutes answering media questions during the conference's teleconference call every Tuesday. But UA coach Sean Miller ended his appearance this week by asking some of his own.
Miller asked Pac-12 spokesman Dave Hirsch, the moderator of the call, what UA had to do for one of its players to win the Pac-12 Player of the Week award. No Wildcats have been honored so far by the panel of Pac-12 staffers who decide the award.
"Don't you think it's somewhat remarkable that we can be 14-0, No. 3 in the nation and not one of our players has won it?" Miller asked.
Having preached to his players that individual honors will follow team success, Miller then asked Hirsch a favor.
"Don't give it to any of our guys if we start losing," Miller said. "That would ruin our credibility."
Same face, different team
Senior forward Arsalan Kazemi may be new to the Ducks this season but he's hardly a new face to the Wildcats.
The first Iranian to play major college basketball, Kazemi twice hurt the Wildcats while playing for Rice. As a freshman in 2009-10, Kazemi had 13 points, 10 rebounds and two blocks off the bench during UA's 66-49 win at McKale Center. A year later in Houston, he had 17 points and six rebounds in UA's 84-57 win.
This season, as a senior transfer for the Ducks, Kazemi averages 9.8 rebounds and 2.8 steals per game.
"You have a guy who leads your team in rebounding … and steals - that's one exceptional player," Miller said.
What a long, strange trip it's been
Former UCLA star Bill Walton, known at UA as the dad of former Wildcat forward Luke Walton, will be broadcasting tonight's game for ESPN2. As part of his renewed connection with the Pac-12, he will begin a nine-school speaking tour by bus around the conference.
"Over so many years, I've chased my dreams to UCLA, then on to the NBA for 14 years, and have followed that up with a (wide-ranging) business and media career ever since," Walton said in a Pac-12 statement. "The wild roller coaster ride of remarkable highs and lows, successes and failures, hope and disappointment has now brought me back to where I belong - to the beginning, where lives are built -college."
Walton is scheduled to visit both Oregon and OSU on Friday. He will appear at UA on Feb. 6, then work the UA-Stanford game that night.
Natyazhko earns degree
Thanks to online courses he took from Ukraine last fall, former UA big man Kyryl Natyazhko was able to pick up his degree in December.
UA announced Wednesday that Natyazhko earned a bachelor's degree in general studies with an emphasis on behavior and human understanding. Natyazhko left as a junior last spring to play professionally in his home country.
Holiday tournament re-think
Miller says he will re-think entering Christmastime events such as the Diamond Head Classic, after UA struggled to beat Colorado and Utah in its first games back on the mainland.
Miller said the Hawaii games, which included a wild showdown with San Diego State in the final, would eventually benefit the Wildcats.
"It's hard to do it because it's really a seven-day journey - a day to travel there and a day back," Miller said. "You play three games in four days, and then you have to fit in Christmas. Your players need to go home or recharge their batteries."
Ducks flying under the radar
Tonight will be Oregon's first appearance on the ESPN family of channels, and the Ducks could use the exposure. Despite their 12-2 record, unbeaten home mark and win at UNLV - their only losses are to Cincinnati in Las Vegas and at UTEP in overtime - the Ducks received only the 34th-most votes in The Associated Press Top 25 media poll this week.
"I don't know what people think about us," Oregon coach Dana Altman said. "I think our team is making progress. We've only played maybe two national opponents in Cincinnati and UNLV. I know we've made tremendous progress but how good we are remains to be seen."
Looking for stability
In Altman's two-plus seasons with the Ducks, the turnstiles have been flipping pretty fast. Not only has Oregon benefited from incoming transfers such as Kazemi and center Tony Woods (Wake Forest), but the Ducks lost three-fifths of their 2011 recruiting class to outgoing transfers.
Altman said he hopes the trend will slow.
"I'd like to have a bit better foundation," he said. "We've been scrambling to put a team on the floor. We have six freshmen and I'm hoping the freshman class will give us the stability on which to build."
Arizona at Oregon, 7 p.m. today, ESPN2, 1290-AM, 107.5-FM
He said it …
"The best thing they do is run. They really get it out and go. (Dominic) Artis is a jet-quick point guard who pushes the ball. He'll drive to score and shoot threes. He's hungry to score. (Damyean) Dotson is really athletic, can shoot transition threes. (E.J.) Singler drives the ball really well, can attack and he can also shoot threes. With Arsalan Kazemi and Tony Woods, they've really upgraded their front line."
- Joe Pasternack, Arizona assistant coach who scouted the Ducks
Arizona at Oregon St., 6 p.m. Saturday, ESPNU, 1290-AM, 107.5-FM
- He said it …
"They've been more man but they have the 1-3-1 in the bag and also a 2-3 zone they can match up out of. (The frontcourt) is one of the most talented in our conference, with (Eric) Moreland, (Joe) Burton and (Devon) Collier, plus (Olaf) Schaftenaar stretching you as a four-man. They're very long, very athletic. I can see them playing the majority of the game with a 1-3-1. We have to be able to rebound the ball and protect the ball. They're very good in transition."
- Book Richardson, Arizona assistant coach who scouted the Beavers

Great hobby...........have fun.......Thanks for the photos......

It's all good.. I like to throw one of these type posts on here ever now and then about dealing with some replicas of the "Original Wheel Guns". There is a bit more to just buying a Black Powder Revolver and shooting it. Acquiring all the "accouterments" is an interesting process.
I picked up a Uberti Replica of a Colt 1851 Navy Revolver, .36 Cal, Black Powder. It's the lower weapon. The one above it is a Uberti 1871 Richards-Mason conversion of an 1851 Colt Navy Revolver, it fires a .38 Special Cartridge. I usually run a Remington 130 grain round, with a muzzle velocity of 790 fps. A fun gun to shoot.
The first thing one does upon getting a new weapon is of course read the owners, disassemble the weapon and clean out the factory grease.
Having read David R. Chicoine's book "Antique Firearms Assembly /Disassembly I took her down to the level shown above. Having taken the 1871 Replica apart gave me some good experience. Not forgetting to mention there are some great Black Powder Forums out there with plenty of information.
One of the things I have learned is to take some pictures and make some notes because getting it all back together is a bit more complicated than the "Reverse the instructions to reassemble" notations. Ayway I got it all back inside and it's working.
Great hobby...........have fun.......Thanks for the photos......
Thanks for posting..... enjoy getting to share just a little bit of you hobby with you.
My next project is to disassemble and of course reassemble a recently acquired Uberti Replica of a 1847 Colt Walker. She is a real beast type 44 Cal, one of the original Horse Pistols. She is a real hand full. When Capt. Walker of the Texas Rangers and Sam Colt designed this thing they were not fooling around. Walker wanted a weapon that would stop a man or a horse. It was carried in holsters attached to the saddles. If you have ever seen "The Outlaw Josey Wells" or any of the "Lonesome Dove" Movies she's a familiar sight.
The original versions had thin cylinder walls and were subject to chain firing and explosions. But when you were facing an attack from a Comanche who could fire 5-6 arrows a minute, an upgrade to a 6 shot cylinder revolver from a single shot muzzle loader might not seem like a bad idea.
....now, that IS nice, Bg. Love the lines and history behind that pistol. Seems like it was the turning point is SD in those days....and packed a wallop to boot. Thx for all the pics and narratives. Your collection is to be envied...as well as your gunsmithing skills.
Thanks for the comments. Here is a copy of the Original Owner's Manual or Instructions that Sam Colt's Company sent to civilians who bought one of his new revolvers.
Actually I have found that they are more helpful than some of the Owner Instructions given to people today who buy the replicas. Especially on reassembly instructions.
Have you shot any 38 special cartridges yet....

After putting 50 rounds of .44 Rem Mag, 240 grain SPs through the Alaskan it was easy. The .38 is really an accurate shooter despite the rear sight being a notch on the top of the hammer. Using a loading gate to insert individual rounds versus the modern day swing out cylinder takes some getting used to.
Tomorrow evening I'm making it to a meeting of the Outdoor Range Membership to submit an application so I can take the Black Powder pistols/revolvers out for an little action. I've fired a few before but never owned any and it's a bit more complicated than buying a modern weapon, getting a box of shells and finding some where to shoot.
It's been loads of fun learning how to disassemble and reassemble these old gals.
The Mendi Replica has been interesting in that so little information is available concerning her since the company went out of business "years ago". She is a rare bird in that she is a .36 cal versus a 50 cal. So I had to get a new caliper and do a lot of measuring and determine what size of .36 cal ball to use, powder load and patch or wad to use. Fortunately there are a lot of Black Powder enthuasists out there in Forum Land who don't mind sharing some of their experience and knowledge. Just like this forum. Some of these guys have been at Black Powder shooting for decades. It's something new for me but I'm a fast learner.
Rounding up all the essentials to get started, with all the loading tools, cleaning equipment, powder, lead balls and all that before even getting to fire a single shot has been interesting.
I'll give you a range report on the BP Shooting, if and when I manage to get into the range.
...well, Bg, I think it can be safely stated that you take this hobby seriously. I enjoy lookin' at your antique stash, rather authentic or replica. They are all beauties. I'm beginning to get the urge to own at least one of those revolvers...not good .
I know about those urges. I've spent a few bucks getting it all together. Most people start out with just one but I kinda fell into three of them around the same time. But what the heck?
I spent months doing a lot of reading and research before I decided to get into it. The Spanish Lady is not going to get a lot of range time. She's more of a Safe Queen or Mantle piece type, too old and not easy to find replacement parts. But I just gotta run a few through for the heck of it.
The Walker and the Navy Colt on the other hand are commonly sold and I have already purchased the replacement parts that I identified during disassembly and research that are subject to common know problems. They have of course been manufactured within the last 10 years or so and are a lot better made than the originals were, with better metal and machined technology. But the design and specifications are still circa 1847 or later which is part of the kick.
Here is a picture on a Colt Walker, 44 Cal doing a flame on. Not for the faint of heart types. Smokeless Black Powder didn't exist in 1847. You Tube has video of people loading and shooting the gun and it's a hoot to watch.
Colt Walkers have an interesting history. This is a $500. Replica.
This one, an 1847 original, has a Million Dollar price tag on it. Not something one would casually disassemble or take to a firing range.
Yep. I'm serious about it. Of course the Ruger LCP and/or a few other Modern Day weapons get to go along for the ride. Just in case.

In Situ Conservation Of Crop Genetic Resources In The Mexican Milpa System
This dissertation focuses on the theoretical modeling and empirical testing of household motivations for the in situ conservation of crop genetic resources (CGR). An original household survey is used to test whether the household diversity outcomes are different for the cropping system as a whole, for the principal crop, maize, or for the secondary crops, beans and squash. Agro-ecological characteristics and market characteristics are found to significantly affect the levels of diversity maintained by households. A review of the economic literature relevant to modeling in situ conservation is presented. A theoretical model is developed in which a household's decision to plant a milpa variety is linked to household, agro-ecological, and market variables. A household farm model appropriate to CGR conservation is presented, and extended to the case of missing markets. The agricultural ecology of the Sierra Norte de Puebla is described, as well as the principal CGR in the milpa system. The empirical methodology uses a Poisson regression, for the total number of crop varieties and for each crop group separately. The econometric work is extended to a hurdle model for sample selection, and a SUR model utilizing a Shannon diversity index as a linear measure of diversity. The results from the regressions of household level diversity show that a range of household, village, environmental, and market conditions affect the diversity outcomes. Market integration, measured by distance to a regional market, use of hired labor, and international migration, were found to negatively affect diversity outcomes. Agro-ecological conditions, measured by the number of plots, plots with different slopes, and the high altitude region, all were found to positively increase household diversity outcomes. The econometric findings were different for the combined milpa system than individual crops, and individual crops were affected by different factors. The principal crop, maize, seems mainly affected by the agro-ecological characteristics, while the levels of market integration are found to affect the minor crops, beans and squash. Conclusions are presented on the links between this study and conservation planning issues, and possible directions for future research are discussed.

Mark and Kevin Systrom just announced video for Instagram. Kevin reminded us that Instagram was founded as a tool to capture and share moments in a fast, simple, and beautiful way. Now the app will allow all 130 million users to not just take photos, but capture video memories, as well.
Here are the highlights of Instagram's new video functionality:
- It's available right now for both iOS and Android phones.
- You can take 15 seconds of beautiful video.
- There are 13 new, video-exclusive filters developed by artists that specialize in video editing.
- Users can select a cover frame to complete the Instagram touch.
- New 'Cinema' tool provides cinematic stabilization so Blair-Witch-shakiness will never have to happen again.
For some, video will merely be another added feature, but for the dedicated Instagrammers (e.g. foodies and pet lovers), this is a monumental and possibly unwelcomed change. At the heart of it, the charm of Instagram is its seamless simplicity. Users are able to scroll endlessly for a stream of photos that are both bite size and beautiful. Introducing video into this feed is a threat to that continuous flow and passive consumption. Although time will decide how well video will be integrated into the app, Kevin says it will be the "same Instagram we know and love, but now, it moves."
Rationale for Changing User Experience
Vine, the video-sharing app, is undeniably a rival to Instagram. This is especially true because Twitter and Facebook have been long time competitors in the digital space. With Vine's recent release of its Android app, it was quickly able to pass Instagram in total daily Twitter shares. Although this can be attributed to the fact that Facebook no longer allows Instagram photos to be embedded into tweets, Facebook cannot ignore that their users are also likely to be part of the Twitter community. Therefore, before Vine can lead with consumers and marketers, Instagram wants to establish themselves as the go-to app for both photo and video sharing.
Instagram Video vs. Vine
Although Instagram's goal is to outdo Vine, each app actually attracts two very different groups of consumers. Instagram's content is set out to be aesthetical pleasing and inspirational, while users on Vine want to create funny and disruptive content. Just because Instagram launches a similar feature, does not mean Vine users will hop over and vice versa. After the press conference, it is clear that Instagram does not plan to compete directly with Vine. Instead, they will continue to focus on what the app is known for: producing fast, simple and beautiful content for the world to see.
Great News for Advertisers
Ultimately, Facebook's goal is to monetize Instagram, and thus far there hasn't been a straightforward way for brands to advertise their products on the platform. At this point, advertisers are speculating that the video feature will be a way for brands to finally reach the 130 million active users on Instagram. But once again, it is another social platform for advertisers to learn and strategize for. Nonetheless, this opportunity to create short and shareable video content will definitely help brands drive impressions and serve as another touch point with consumers. Things for brands and advertisers to keep in mind? Keep your imagery beautiful and make your message simple and share-worthy. This isn't Vine after all.

Over the next two weeks we'll be highlighting the incredible live sessions featured on Simon Raymonde's Amazing Radio show. Former Cocteau Twin, head of indie label Bella Union and Amazing Radio presenter, Simon has invited some of the best new artists to his studio to play live. Amongst them are Manchester's newest stars M O N E Y, grandiose songstress Jesca Hoop and today's feature Dark Dark Dark.
Dark Dark Dark are a Minneapolis-residing quintet. They straddle folk and Americana influences but ultimately end up closer to an avant-garde pop sound. It's a rich, charming and organic American vibe with Nona Marie Invie's emotive vocal finishing it all off.
Live, the balance of instrumentation is expertly executed. Wind instruments, piano and accordion all wrap themselves around each other, one falls while the other leads before seamlessly switching. Everything is given its own space to breathe but also understanding when to drop back. Daydreaming is the highlight here as Nona gently purrs "Oh the unspeakable things...". It's just beautiful.
The band have a new album on the way, scheduled for 2nd October, entitled Who Needs Who. It follows their critically acclaimed album Wild Go and they will support it with a 27 date US tour. Ahead of that, you can catch them in the UK, check out the full dates at their Facebook page.

Ok....so I've gotten mixed answers to this question on here and from other people.....can someone please give me a decisive answer to this question.
What day and time EXACTLY will the Giants be selling individual game tickets? I need to know the exact time because I've heard they sell out immediately. "August" is not an exact date.
I also found a parking pass for the game on ebay and was wondering if the pass will allow you to go anywhere in the parking lot. Say I want to go to section K9 for example, will any pass allow me to do that?
Thank you very much for your help.


text: Hello styleforum! I found this forum on Google and I was wondering if someone could help me out in identifying the brand of a coat I spotted. I was in Firenze, Italy last month and came across a shop called "Trench" near the Duomo when I spotted this (what I think) 3/4 coat. Sadly the shop was closed so the only thing I could do was take a picture of it. In the mean time, I've visited so many shops to check out winter coat's but I cannot get this particular coat out of my head. Unless I at least try it on I fell so guilty buying another one that might not be as perfect as that one... I'm sure you know that feeling So, if anyone could point me in a direction or brand, that would really be appreciated! Thanks!

Albert Pujols
Ok, I just got the news and I'm very highly upset. This is not something that I expected and it sort of feels like someone close to me has died, in a weird way. By now you've probably heard that Pujols (arguably the best hitter in baseball) has signed with the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim for a reported $250 million for 10/years. This deal could extend up to as much as $260 million when all is said and done.
Here's my problem with this whole thing. I am a Christian and Albert is a Christian athlete. Always done the right thing, always made sure he was watching what he said and what he did. He doesn't drink, swear or cheat. He's a man's man and a HERO to many here in Missouri and the surrounding areas (including myself). He's not only a good baseball player, he's a great person. He played 11 seasons with the Cardinals with not a word said about wanting more money or wanting a trade or anything like that. Didn't stir up trouble or problems for 11 years.
We all knew this day would come, that he'd have to make a decision on whether to go or stay. As time went on this season many were upset here in Cardinals Nation about the low-ball offer the Cardinals were offering him to stay. Many had their doubts about whether he'd be worth that much money in 10 years or not. Why take that gamble? Well the Cardinals reportedly offered Pujols 9 years and a little under $200million to stay in the greatest baseball town EVER with the greatest baseball fans EVER.
Here's my grief: If he's truely a Christian and truely a baseball fanatic like he says he is, why would you up and leave a team that you just won a world series with, when every game (AND I MEAN EVERY GAME) is sold out constantly all season long, and the fans love you to death! Why would you leave? You have charities set up here for down-syndrome children because your wife has a child with this disability. That charity is based out of ST. LOUIS. Your home, your friends, your family are all here (Pujols is originally from Kansas City area). So why? That's all I want to know. The only thing I can come up with is MONEY. GREED. GETTING WHAT'S COMING TO HIM. This is NOT the Pujols we know. This is not the athlete I know as a hero. This is not someone I want to wear on my shirt anymore.
Why not be the bigger person and go on national TV and say, "you know what, I love it here in STL and we just won a World Series and everyone of importance is coming back, I'm going to take this offer even though I could make more, and I'm going to sign for the FANS who have supported me through thick and thin." WHY NOT? MONEY, that's why.
Comon' seriously, if there is a BIG difference to you between $200 million and $250 million then you have too much DANG money to start with. As long as I live I will never make $200 million. HELL I'll never make $2 million. Probably never even $1 million! But it's worth it to him, to get what he has coming to him. He doesn't want to be made fun of by other major leaguers for taking less money. He doesn't want that image.
I'm guessing Mr. Pujols has made a lifestyle change because he's no longer the Pujols that I rooted for. He's not the hero that I have on a FATHEAD in my basement with WWJD on his baseball cleats. Nope, he's a money-hungary spoiled baseball player.
Sorry to say this, but I hope he fails in Cali. I hope he fails Miserably and regrets leaving the best city for baseball (THAT INCLUDES NEW YORK OR BOSTON). I'm also sorry to say, that everything Pujols in my house is coming down. The fathead in the basement, the posters on my son's wall, the bobbleheads, the jerseys, that neatly wrapped poster I bought on EBAY that my son WAS going to get for Christmas this year, and YES even my cat (whom we named Albert a little over 6 years ago) will be getting a new name.
Greed is an evil thing. Good riddance, Mr. Pujols, thanks for letting us down.

Mr Rainey has had charges reinstated against him by a US federal appeals court in connection to alleged misleading evidence he gave to lawmakers following the Deepwater Horizon explosion four years ago that killed 11 people offshore in the Gulf of Mexico. If found guilty, he could be sent to jail.
At the time of the biggest oil spill in US history, Mr Rainey was BP's vice president of exploration for the Gulf of Mexico and was installed as the deputy incident commander by the US Coast Guard. He subsequently joined BHP, in June 2011.
US government prosecutors allege Mr Rainey failed to adequately disclose information he was aware of, which suggested the quantity of oil pouring into the ocean after the explosion on April 20, 2010 was much higher than BP's public estimates.
Mr Rainey testified to the US House subcommittee on energy and environment that the most accurate estimate for the oil leaking from the offshore rig was 5000 barrels of oil a day.
His own private estimate was up to 92,000 barrels, prosecutors allege. BP engineers had provided flow rates of between 14,000 and 146,000 barrels per day.
A BP engineer allegedly sent an internal email to senior executives, saying, "we should be very cautious standing behind 5000 barrels BOPD [barrels of oil per day] figure as our modelling shows that this well could be making anything up to [about] 100,000 BOPD depending on a number of unknown variables".
Mr Rainey did not disclose the higher range estimates to the House subcommittee, maintaining that 5000 was the "best guess estimate". He told the lawmakers that 60,000 was the "worst case" scenario, but dismissed it because it assumed the removal of the blowout preventer from the Macondo wellhead.
It is illegal to obstruct the due and proper process of an inquiry or investigation by any Congress committee.
Mr Rainey had argued that he could not be prosecuted for obstructing the "subcommittee" on energy and environment because it was not a Congress "committee".
In May 2013, the lower-ranked District Court agreed, and dismissed the obstruction charge.
However, the three-panel judge for the US Court of Appeals in New Orleans on Friday rejected the junior court's decision, ruling that a Congress subcommittee was indeed a committee.
Mr Rainey can now be prosecuted on the obstruction charge.
Separately, Mr Rainey has already been charged with making false statements to law-enforcement authorities. He has pleaded not guilty to those charges.
If convicted, he faces a maximum penalty of five years in prison for each of the two charges.
In November 2012, BP agreed to pay $US4.5 billion ($4.7 billion) in fines and other penalties for the deaths and environmental disaster. It pleaded guilty to criminal charges related to the spill.
Three other BP employees have been charged and are facing trial.
BHP did not immediately respond for requested comment on behalf of the company and Mr Rainey.
BHP is believed to have been fully aware of Mr Rainey's responsibilities at BP when it hired him, but was confident he could carry out his role at BHP.

I'm thrilled that Ford finally got religion and had the Europeans lead the design of the new Focus. I'm also thrilled that they will be selling the same care in the USA instead of kludging stuff.
The let down is the design is just too "busy" for my taste. It lacks the clean lines of say an Opel Astra or an Audi A3. The rear light cluster on the hatchback and the way it sticks around the side is particularly egregious.
I would not mind as much if it were distinctive in the way the original Focus stood apart from anything else when it was launched. But this version is pretty much "Me too" in terms of a design language. A few creases here and a finny type grill there and you have a rebaked Mazda 3 or any other generic car for this segment.
I know to some extent it is wishful thinking but I had hoped that Ford would have strived to set a new design tone or direction. Perhaps something like this:
A beautiful possible design evolution
I'm curious if it is just me, but the interior also looks awfully busy too. Can anyone else comment ?
I've no doubt it will sell well and truth be told if it performs well I'll probably end up getting one in 2 or 3 years time when we need a replacement for our trusty 1st generation workhorse. Its just I wish it would set my heart beating faster the same way the first ZX5 I saw did.

American Sports Bar with
a Taste of Louisiana
A representative from Walk-On's will be in touch with you shortly. In the meantime, stop by and see us.
Saints star and wife buy in as co-owners of 'Best Sports Bar in North America'
NEW ORLEANS, LA (May 20, 2015) – Drew Brees knows a winning team when he sees one. So when he and wife Brittany saw that Walk-On's Bistreaux & Bar in New Orleans had been voted "Best Sports Bar in North America" by ESPN, they were immediately intrigued.
Today, Brittany and Drew Brees announced that they have reached an agreement to become co-owners of Walk-On's Enterprises, the company that created and now operates the popular Walk-On's sports bar chain, as well as its sister concepts, Happy's Irish Pub and Walk-On's Catering.
"When I first stepped into Walk-On's, I was impressed by its culture, environment and the quality of the food," said the All Pro NFL and New Orleans Saints quarterback. "Walk-On's is unique in that it's a great place to bring my family, teammates and business colleagues. Brandon [Landry] and his team have built something truly special, and we are excited to join them as we look to expand the brand across the nation."
The agreement, which had been in the works for several months, was finalized on May 18. Financial terms will remain confidential.
"When you consider all the people we could have associated our brand with, there is absolutely no one I can think of that would be higher on our wish list than Brittany and Drew," said Landry, co-founder and owner of Walk-On's Enterprises. "I've been impressed by their business savvy and the vision they have for the brand. I'm very fortunate and honored to call the Breeses my partners."
Brittany Brees stressed that Walk-On's Louisiana roots were an important factor in their decision to buy into the company.
"Drew and I consider New Orleans to be our home now, so we love the idea of investing in a Louisiana-based brand that is so well respected in its industry," she said. "We've done our homework and we truly believe Walk-On's has the potential to become a successful national chain."
Drew noted that he will play an active role in Walk-On's as the company prepares to take the brand national.
"We're not just passive investors. Brittany and I are committed to working closely with Brandon and the team to do whatever we can to contribute to Walk-On's success going forward," said Brees. "I think we're going to have a lot of fun, and celebrate a lot of wins, in the years ahead."
Walk-On's Enterprises recently announced its first franchise agreement in Lake Charles, La., as well as a new company-owned restaurant under construction in Houma. Additional markets are expected to be unveiled in the coming weeks. Walk-On's currently has four locations – two in Baton Rouge and one each in New Orleans and Lafayette.
Walk-On's Enterprises is arguably the most distinctive restaurant company in America. Its concepts are fresh, fun and original, from Walk-On's Bistreaux & BarSM — voted ESPN's "Best Sports Bar in North America" in 2012 — to Happy's Irish Pub and Walk-On's Catering. Additional growth lies ahead, as the company expands on its winning combination of delicious, affordable food and drinks presented in an uncommonly warm and friendly atmosphere. For more information, visit www.walkonsenterprises.com, or contact Ladd Biro at Champion Management at firstname.lastname@example.com or 972.930.9933.
We have invited our first franchisee,Clarence "CO" Vallet, to join the Walk-On's team. We have plans to open a location in Lake Charles by the end of 2015. It will be located at 5313 Common St., just south of McNeese State University.
Vallet, who has 35 years of experience in the service industry, said he first became aware of Walk-On's about a year ago. "I couldn't be more convinced that it's an ideal fit for Lake Charles," he said. Walk-On's in Lake Charles will add an additional 120 or more jobs to the Lake Charles area.
Brandon Landry, who co-founded Walk-On's, said he's always felt that Lake Charles was a perfect destination for the restaurant, because of McNeese and the diverse economy there.
"We believe the timing is perfect for us to franchise Walk-On's, and I couldn't be more pleased to get the ball rolling with CO," Landry said. "He shares our vision for the brand and understands how to translate its distinctive qualities to the local market."
We couldn't be any more excited about welcoming CO and his team into the Walk-On's family and serving the great city of Lake Charles.

What is a Walk-On? A walk-on is an athlete trying out for a team who has not been drafted, invited, scouted, awarded a scholarship… you get the picture.
Jack Warner and Brandon Landry, our founders and walk-ons for the LSU basketball team, played proudly for the Tigers, driven by the team camaraderie and their true love of the game.
Jack and Brandon met in 1997 on the hardwood floor of LSU's Pete Maravich Assembly Center. During their time on the team, Jack and Brandon had amazing opportunities to travel and visit cities across the SEC and around the world. In the course of their travel, they visited the best of the best in restaurants and sports bars. While they were lucky enough to be living one dream of playing LSU basketball, they were also beginning to create a new dream.
In 2012, Walk-On's Bistreaux & Bar was named the #1 Sports Bar in America by ESPN.
In 2001, on a plane ride home from a game at the University of Tennessee, the floor plan for Walk-On's Bistreaux & Bar became a reality on the back of a napkin. Jack and Brandon submitted their business plan for Walk-On's to one of their professors for a class project. The professor gave them a C, saying their idea needed some work, which only motivated Jack and Brandon even more. After six banks denied them a loan for Walk-On's, the seventh bank finally agreed to help turn their dream into reality. Throughout the process of opening Walk-On's, they discovered their ultimate non-negotiable they still abide by today: never stop trying!
During their years on the bench, Jack and Brandon learned that being a walk-on was a privilege, and even though they didn't play much, they were just as important to the team as the star players. Legendary Coach Dale Brown taught them that everyone on a TEAM has one common goal: To Win! Jack and Brandon took the lessons learned from the hardwood floors of the PMAC and brought them to life on the floors of their restaurants and bars. Today, Walk-On's Enterprises' vision is TO WIN! Everywhere. Every way. Everyone. Every day.
In 2012, Walk-On's Bistreaux & Bar was named the #1 Sports Bar in America by ESPN.
Jack, Brandon and the entire Walk-On's team work hard every day to ensure every customer has a winning experience with great food, beverages, service and atmosphere. Our entire team thanks you for the support. Cheers to you and your dream!

Author brings humour-writing skills to UVic
There's nothing funny about being a writer—although a good writer can make anything seem funny. Just ask Mark Leiren-Young. An award-winning author, journalist, playwright, screenwriter and University of Victoria alumnus, Leiren-Young will be focusing on humour writing in his role as the UVic's 2014 Harvey Stevenson Southam Lecturer in Journalism and Nonfiction—the first UVic alumnus to hold the Southam position.
"I'm honoured and thrilled to be returning to UVic," says Leiren-Young. "Several friends I'm still in touch with from my UVic days have responded to the news by bursting into the theme song from Welcome Back Kotter."
The Vancouver-based Leiren-Young is the author of two comic memoirs, Free Magic Secrets Revealed and Never Shoot A Stampede Queen: A Rookie Reporter in the Cariboo. As a journalist, he has written for TIME, Maclean's, The Hollywood Reporter and most of Canada's daily newspapers, and is a regular contributor to The Vancouver Sun, TheTyee, The Georgia Straight and The Walrus. He has also written over a hundred hours of television dramas, documentaries and animated shows, two other nonfiction books, a number of plays and is half of the comedy duo Local Anxiety.
His biggest success, however, may well be Never Shoot A Stampede Queen, which won the 2009 Stephen Leacock Medal for Humour. A memoir of his first year working as a journalist at the Williams Lake Tribune, Stampede Queen is being adapted for both film and television and has had two stage productions. "Stampede Queen pretty much kicks off with me leaving UVic and getting my BFA—recognized in better restaurants worldwide as a 'waiter's degree'," Leiren-Young quips.
His humour-writing course and October public lecture—You Can't Say That! Comedy, Censorship & Sensitivity—will offer a critical examination of what's funny in the 21st century. "We're living in an age where some comedians are taking facts more seriously than some journalists," say Leiren-Young. "When surveys used to report that young people were getting their news from late-night comedy, the implication was that this was a bad thing; today it means they're better informed than people watching cable news."
Leiren-Young is the eighth person to hold the prestigious Southam lectureship, following freelance journalist Tom Hawthorn, Jo-Ann Roberts (CBC's All Points West), Charles Campbell (Georgia Straight), Sandra Martin (Globe and Mail), Jody Paterson (Times Colonist) and authors Richard Wagamese and Terry Glavin.
The annual Harvey Stevenson Southam lectureship is made possible by a significant gift from one of the country's leading publishing families. Harvey Southam, a UVic alumnus and journalist, was heir to his family's publishing empire when he died suddenly in 1991.

Gault sets England record
Shooter Mick Gault today became England's most prolific Commonwealth Games medallist.
Gault surpassed the record of 13 medals won by swimmer Karen Pickering when he collected silver in the men's 50m individual pistol competition to take his tally to 14.
The 51-year-old RAF engineer has bagged three medals at the Melbourne games - he won a bronze in the 50m pistol pairs, then equalled Pickering's haul with a silver in the 10m air pistol pairs.
Indian Samaresh Jung beat Gault to the gold medal in today's 50m shoot while Roger Daniel of Trinidad and Tobago took out the bronze.
Australia's David Moore finished seventh.

Living in fear
Dromore west family recount the horrific ordeal they endured at the hands of intruders, writes Paul Deering
THE HUSBAND of a woman who was locked in a bedroom during a raid at her home in Dromore West said: "The whole place is now living in fear."
The man, who did not wish to be named told The Sligo Champion: "We've no idea how they got into the house. "The front and back doors were locked. "But the Gardai told us you'd be surprised at how these people are getting in."
One of the first things the three-man gang demanded to know was whether her husband would be home from Mass soon.
In a bid to try to get them out the terrified woman said he was expected any minute.
The house was just one of a number targeted in the area during Mass time.
The mother-of-three was unable to accompany her husband and children to church that evening. She was watching television in her home. The last thing she expected was to be confronted by three angry men with their faces covered.
She heard a noise and thought nothing of it but a couple of minutes later she saw a shadow and went to investigate.
She was grabbed by the men before demands were made for money.
A downstairs room was ransacked as they gang searched for cash.
The husband said: "They also wanted jewellery but we're not the type of people who would have expensive items like that in our house."
Armed with what looked like half a pool cue the gang forced his wife upstairs.
She was so afraid she begged them not to hurt her.
They didn't hit her but they locked her into a bedroom before fleeing with a small amount of cash.
After about ten minutes, she managed to get out and raise the alarm. Gardai believe the gang fled in the direction of County Roscommon where other break-ins took place.
A spate of burglaries over the past month in an area stretching from Dromore West to Culleens has left the local community shattered.
The householder said: "There was a time when you would leave your doors unlocked but there's no one calling around now to a neighbour's house and just simply walking in the back door."
He has a CCTV system at his house and while the images are good, it would be difficult to make out the gang.
"Their faces were fully covered with balaclavas. "They came well prepared," he added. The householder has the height of praise for the efforts being made by Gardai to apprehend those responsible.
He singles out Easkey-based Garda Derek McDonald for particular praise.
"He's been working day and night to try to get them."

Obituaries Set to Song: Jascha Hoffman's Album 'The Afterneath'
A few years ago, Jascha Hoffman was a freelancer writing obituaries for The New York Times and struggling to write songs for a third album. He soon realized that obituaries were the right inspiration for his songwriting.
"What I wanted was to lure characters into my songs, real people with all their flaws and prejudices," he says.
Hoffman would start the day by reading the obituaries and then string together melodies and lyrics to "channel the minds we had lost, seeking their energy and charm from every angle, and the history and landscape around them."
His newest album, "The Afterneath," is a compilation songs about notable figures who died in the 20th century—from Dr. Jack Kevorkian to oil-fortune heir J. Paul Getty III.
In addition to being a songwriter, Hoffman writes the "Scan" column on science and the arts for our partner The New York Times.
From "The Afterneath" album, the song Little Airplane was inspired by the life of Maynard Hill (1926-2011), who built a model airplane that flew across the Atlantic Ocean.
Tennis Table is about table tennis star George Hendry (1920-2011).

Our men's peacoats are a foundational jacket every many should have in his closet. They've got everything that you could want in outerwear: beautiful aesthetics, durability, and versatility. The peacoat has its roots as the jacket of choice for the British and American navies, and over many decades, the coat managed to work its way into mainstream fashion. The style hasn't changed—it's maintained many of the distinct features that hearken back to its military and seafaring origins: the wool construction, overlapping double breasted front, and peaked lapels. All of these features work well to block out the cold and harsh winds. Traditionally, a pea coat stops just below the hips. Longer pea coats are known as bridge coats, as they were traditionally worn by bridge officers, and they extend to the thighs.
JCPenney's pea coats for men come in classic colors that work well with casual and dress clothes. A faux-shearling collar adds a unique twist to the pea coat lapel, and you'll love the texture of the faux-shearling against your neck. We have several jackets that display a more intense military styling throughout the entire construction of the jackets. A hooded wool pea coat blends the classic look of a pea coat with the comfort and convenience of a hoodie. Add one of these beautiful coats to your closet by JF J. Ferrar and i jeans by Buffalo. Now is the right time to shop at JCPeneny, and get a men's pea coat in the men's department.
