Battening Down the Hatches
You don't have to be a weatherman to know which way the wind blows, wrote the poet, and right now up here it's blowing straight into autumn. From the brightly colored leaves flitting across the yard to the sudden closing of windows left open since July, signs of change have come to the hinterlands. It won't be long before wildflowers feel the dark kiss of frost and snowflakes start to spin dreams of a different sort on mountains falling into sleep. Which, as every Vermonter knows, means it's time to get serious about getting ready for winter. There's wood to stack, a garden to put to bed, and, most important of all, a house to prepare for the deep-freeze ahead. While your own thermometer may not hit -30° (as ours surely will!), there are still certain things you'll want to do in order to assure a healthy, safe, and sustainable cold weather season:
- First, schedule a furnace cleaning and inspection to make sure yours is burning fuel as efficiently as possible and venting its toxic waste gases outside and not into your home. This step will save definitely save you money, and it could save your life!
- Change the batteries on your carbon monoxide detector. If you don't have a detector, get one. Your house will be sealed shut for the duration and that lack of fresh air makes any potential carbon monoxide leak even more serious.
- Inspect your windows for drafts. Energy experts tell us that the cumulative impact of all the air leaks in the typical home is equal to leaving a window open 24/7. That's a huge amount of energy waste, and you can prevent much of it by making sure your windows are sealed tightly to prevent heat loss. Fix any leaks you find with weatherstripping or cover the whole window with plastic weatherization sheeting.
- Inspect your doors, too. Feel around their edges for drafts on cold nights or look for light leaking in when the sun or a strong flashlight is shines directly on them. If you feel cool air or see light, weatherstripping is needed. Pay special attention to the bottom of the door -- door sweeps are typical problem areas and yours may need replacement.
- Remove the covers from the electrical outlets on all exterior-facing wall and install insulating gaskets to prevent additional heat loss and energy waste. (These can be left on year-round.)
- If you cook with gas, make sure your range hood fan is working and its vent is not blocked. Burning gas may seem clean, but it creates unhealthy invisible pollution that will build up in a sealed house.
- Check your compost. If your bin is edging close to capacity, it could fill entirely over winter when biodegradation slows and often stops altogether. That would leave you with no place to put your kitchen scraps. Avoid a compost crunch by tilling your bin's contents into your garden where the compost process can finish in time for spring planting.
- Get out the floor mats and boot trays. From de-icing chemicals to street muck, winter is a time when all kinds of pollution gets tracked indoors on shoes and boots. Ask guests to remove their footwear upon arrival to keep whatever they've been walking in isolated in your entranceway.
These strategies will help keep your family warmer and healthier, and your wallet a bit fuller, too. They also give you a very good idea of what I'll be doing this weekend at my own homestead. Feel free to drop by and lend a hand if you're in the neighborhood... photo: m.prinke

I spent the final two days in Nice walking the streets taking in beautiful buildings and the warm sun. I discovered a flea market in the Old Town, which was great and just popped in and out of different shops while Emile worked. We started packing our belongings and I picked up our train tickets. Next stop was Geneva to meet up with the boys! Little did we know, we were taking a small detour ...

If you owe a large amount of money on unsecured debts, you may require the services of a debt settlement lawyer. Unsecured debts include medical bills, student loans, credit cards, store and gas cards, personal loans, collection accounts, and bounced checks. For these sorts of debts, lenders will usually accept less than the full amount if it's clear you don't have the money to pay them (especially if the original amount has continued to grow with interest, late charges, and collection costs). A debt settlement attorney can negotiate with the lender and objectively present the facts in your case. Oftentimes, unsecured debt lenders would rather settle with you than take a chance on getting nothing if you file for bankruptcy. If the negotiation is successful, the creditor may even be convinced to take the settled debt off your credit history.

Ready for the cathouse? Tested by whorehouse owner without
I recently applied, quite spontaneously to a brothel-job, just to spice up the cash before Christmas. A normal short-term job would have been much too stressful and gainless. Although I previously had no idea how such a interview would run as "brothel-Chicka", I thought, it will not get that bad, until I was standing naked in front of the brothel-Owner, who probably had not seen a hole for several months, to judge by the way he fucked me, not a easy job I must confess, but because of the money it is worth in any case, getting bare fucked once until the pussy is ***** :DPrice: $7.00

Date of Stay: June, 2014
Mount Vernon RV Park is an extremely well-kept park. The staff and other guests are very friendly. The sites are gravel (some also with grass) and the outer roads are asphalt. The laundry areas, restrooms, and showers are clean. They have a club room that has books and a puzzle that you can work on. This is a very pet friendly park. We have enjoyed this park so much that we extended our stay here.
Date of Stay: June, 2014
This is a pretty park out in the country with cows, bulls, and horses in the fields next to the park. Roads inside the park are gravel and the sites are gravel and grass. It was a very quiet park during our stay. However, we have an RV so we can travel comfortably with our furbaby. We are very responsible pet owners that keep our dog on a leash when outside, pick up after our dog, and keep him as quiet as possible. We did not feel free to even sit outside or walk with our dog here because we were afraid he would relieve himself somewhere other than the potty pen. (There are several posters on trees and it even states in their rules that dogs are to relieve themselves in the potty pens). This is the first time we have ever felt uncomfortable in a RV park and for that reason we would not ever return to this park. It is also the reason for the low score.
Date of Stay: June, 2014
This is a very large campground that is broken up into loops so it doesn't feel that large. It is located in a wooded area and is a great place to stay in the park if you want full hookups for your RV. The sewer connection does need a rubber donut to work well (it can work without), but these are not sold in the office or the camp store. We have stayed here a couple of times and enjoy the convenience of this location.
Date of Stay: June, 2014
We enjoyed our stay at Colter Bay Village RV Park. The park is located in a beautiful wooded area and the sites are quite adequate. The sites could use some leveling. We noticed several people had a difficult time with this...wheels off the ground of a big motorhome is scary! Beautiful, but pricey, place to stay in the park.
Date of Stay: June, 2014
We have stayed in this clean park several times. The staff is always friendly and helpful. Our site this time was not quite as level as others we've been in, but it was not a problem. The laundry room is very clean and has several washers and dryers. We would stay here again if in this area.
Date of Stay: October, 2012
This is a pretty campground and the workers were very nice. We were not real happy with our site as it was very muddy and other sites were available that weren't. We could not get any television channels. There are no sewer hookups, but a dump station is available. The site was level.
Date of Stay: October, 2012
We were lucky to be able to make last minute reservations for the Columbus Day weekend at the height of the foliage season. This is a beautiful campground made more so by the wonderful attitudes of the owners and workampers. The campground is well-maintained throughout. The laundry has five washers and five dryers that work very well. The dog walk is convenient and provides a happy sniffing environment for the canines. We would definitely return to this campground.
Date of Stay: September, 2012
Sugar Ridge is in a great location. The spaces are terraced and mostly well-maintained. However, the site we were given stays quite damp and muddy. This does not work well with two white dogs which they knew we had when we made the reservations. We asked if we could move to another site and the only other option we were given was a site that was too short for the motorhome and tow vehicle. I was very surprised that given we are staying almost two weeks and actually wanted to extend our stay, that something else would not be offered. It seems that trying to make the customer happy doesn't matter here. Like I stated, this is a great location, and we will enjoy our stay in Vermont, but will not return to Sugar Ridge in the future.
Date of Stay: July, 2012
This is one of the best campgrounds at which we have stayed. We found Pumpkin Patch to be well-maintained and very clean. The sites are gravel and are level. The work-campers are helpful and friendly. This is a great location for exploring the state. We took many day trips from here during our two month stay. If you want a great place that is centrally located (close to Bangor), this is a wonderful place to stay. We enjoyed our stay and would definitely stay here again.
Date of Stay: July, 2012
This is a beautiful campground. The sites are grassy and fairly level. Lake Champagne is a well-maintained and well-run campground. Seasonal campers keep their areas neat and most have flowers and decorations that add to the beauty of this area. We stayed here a month and totally enjoyed our stay. If ever back in Vermont I would want to return to this campground. Our price reflects a monthly rate.
Date of Stay: May, 2012
This is a large, wonderful RV park. There are a variety of different types of sites available and they are level and roomy. We were there very early in the season and the price reflects our Passport America rate. Our original plan to stay four days turned into almost a month. It is a great location for visiting Acadia National Park and Bar Harbor since both are just minutes away. The members of the staff were all very friendly and willing to help in any way they could. The laundry room is clean and is the best that we have used in our travels. The restrooms and showers were also clean and well-maintained. This is a great location and we would definitely return when in the area.
Date of Stay: May, 2012
This is a very nice small RV park. There are a lot of trees that provide nice shade. The asphalt sites are level and roomy. Cable and Wi-Fi are good and included in the price. The owner is very hands-on and eager to assist his guests. He was constantly updating things while we were there. We planned on staying just over the Memorial Day weekend and ended up staying a month. This is a very comfortable park and in a good location to sight see the surrounding areas. We would definitely stay here again. If you stay here, don't miss breakfast at Parker's Maple Sugar Barn just down the road.
Date of Stay: July, 2011
This is a very nice campground. It was well maintained and very clean. The person in the office was very friendly and helpful. This park offered large, level, shady sites. We would definitely stay here again.
Date of Stay: July, 2011
There was no one in the office when we arrived. We chose a site and left the money in the drop box. Still no one around as we left the next day, so we couldn't get a receipt. The grass had not been mowed in some time and several sites appeared to need maintenance very badly. Most sites were muddy and needed more gravel for better drainage. Our site did not have a sewer hookup. Pull throughs did not appear to have full hookups that we could see. This campground was shady and with a little care, could be quite beautiful.
Date of Stay: July, 2011
This was a really nice campground. There was no one in the office when we arrived, even though it was early in the afternoon, so we just drove around and found a site. Later someone on a golf cart did come to check on us. Laundry area was nice, but hot. Definitely would stay here again.

On October 29, 2012 mommy's roaming gnome, me, slipped out the back gate of our yard and I ran into the road. A car hit me and took me to the local animal shelter but it was too late. I was already in doggie heaven. I know mommy blames herself a lot because she thought I should have been better trained and that was her responsibility. I had just turned 7 early in the month and was really calm in my "old" age. I just couldn't take this cat that kept sitting on our fence. Whoever they were, they needed to remember I run this place and my family lives here. My job was to protect them and my family's job was to love me.
Mommy still cries a lot. She sleeps with this Westie her friend bought her a long time ago. I know she misses me a lot and she talks about me constantly. Katiebug keeps telling mommy that I'm wataching them from heaven and someday they will see me again. I cannot wait because I need them to sleep with at night. It's not easy to suddenly sleep alone after years of having a human bed to lay on.
Daddy told mommy that someday, in a few years, he will get her a pair of Westies. His plan is to get one boy and one girl so hopefully they can keep each other company and then mommy will be happy again. I know mommy is lost without me but I wish she knew how my knee and hips no longer hurt. There's no pain in doggie heaven. I have all the treats and squeaky toys I could ever ask for. I just miss my family and I hope they know how much I miss them.
I gotta go. This is my last diary entry. There's no time for tears or sadness here in doggie heaven so I had to get this out there before I live the happy eternal life. So long Earth. Hello heaven.
Love and sloppy kisses!

Wow. My mom hasn't let me on here in a long time. She's been super busy with life for a while. My daddy is currently in Afghanistan. He was home a few weeks ago and man, did he spoil me! He gave me a beautiful haircut, treats EVERY day, and even took me for a lot more walks than mommy does. I totally understand though because mommy has me, my brother Stormie (the cat...) and my human sister, Katiebug.
So, to update those who love my inside scope, here's the latest news. We still live in Germany. I am lazier than ever. I sleep on the back of the couch most of the day. I like to bark, which annoys mom (why, I don't know), at the neighborhood kids. There's these boys who come into my yard all the time. They just open the gate and come in to get stuff. Do they not realize when it crosses the fence, it's MINE now!?!?!? I also bark at the birds. They are very much like the kids...my territory! GET OUT!
Mommy keeps talking about moving. I don't know what that means. I think I remember a ton of boxes and chaos. Guess we'll see. Soon there will be snow on the ground again. Mommy HATES the snow because it gets balled up in my furr on my feet and I track it all over the house. Maybe mommy needs to get me some snow boots. Note to self: Google doggie snow boots then e-mail to daddy.
I'm 5 today. I wonder what great things will come my way. Maybe mommy will give me a bath and make me all pretty today. And maybe that means she'll stop calling me stinky. It's not MY fault I stink. Well, I think it's time to curl back up on the couch and sleep another 5 hours. It's so hard to be cute and fiesty all at the same time. It's a tough job but someone has to do it!
Love and sloppy kisses!!!
So, Katie came to live with us 5 weeks early. I swear, mommy is going to just fall out with exhaustion. Katie is getting bigger every single day. I am really protective of her because she's a part of mommy. I even get between Angel and Katie because someone has got to be the body guard for Katie. My new furry sister Angel is the devil. Mommy and daddy are always having to correct her on something. She doesn't like the baby much. She barks at her when she's crying and she keeps destroying baby bibs when she gets ahold of them. I love having another doggie to play with but I swear someday mommy is going to take her back to where she came from. Dumb dog. Anyways, I think it's time to go lay in Angel's oversized bed and try to keep quiet so mommy can take a nap. She needs all the sleep she can get.
Love and sloppy kisses!!!

BBC Review
Lakeman's new rock edge ensures he hardly sounds like a folk artist at all.
Jude Rogers 2010
Ever since his Mercury Prize nomination for Kitty Jay in 2005, Seth Lakeman has cut a striking figure in conventional folk circles. Loved by traditionalists for his characterful voice and mastery of the fiddle, banjo and viola, his ear for pop melodies – and his good looks – have also won him a faithful wider audience. Five albums into his career, Hearts and Minds follows the lead of 2008's Poor Man's Heaven, which introduced rockier rhythms and pace to his music. But now he has gone even further – so much so that he now hardly sounds like a folk artist at all.
The title-track begins the album with a bang. Fierce, heavy drums and a thick, dirty bassline – played by a barely recognisable, growling violin – drives its head-banging beat. Lakeman tells us to "rise up" and feel the "weight of the government's hands", with his protest sounding much more like the work of Muse than Ewan MacColl. The Watchmen is a hymn to escapism full of "come ons" and "yeah yeah yeahs", while Tender Traveller builds cacophonies of double-stopped strings and struck banjos, as Lakeman sings about "choking" and things "closing in". His statements about Hard Working Men and Preacher's Ghosts can sound heavy-handed, and not unlike the songs of Mumford & Sons. Nonetheless, the way in which acoustic instruments are used to create intensity is very impressive, with the production work of Tchad Blake (whose credits include Tom Waits, Crowded House and Elvis Costello) deserving of praise.
Lakeman's songs are better when they are simpler and gentler, however. Tiny World's lovely lyrics about a girl he's left behind for seven years –with "a full heart and a heavy breeze" – lead beautifully into a chorus which is warm, yet anthemic. Stepping Over You shows how moving his playing can be when it is given space to shimmer, while Changes uses pizzicato and col legno effects – plucked strings and bows being struck against the wood of an instrument – to create fascinating yet accessible and very lively textures. If Lakeman truly wants to be entertaining and innovative in the future, he would do well to follow this path, rather than revel in rocky rowdiness that will soon tire of clamour.

Five Successful Big Brand Facebook Tactics Any Small Business Can Use
As a small business, you can feel at a disadvantage when it comes to marketing, especially on social media. Big brands have entire departments devoted to marketing, and usually a team (or at least one person) who focuses solely on social media.
Because they're so good at it, it only makes sense to rip a page from the "big brand social media playbook," doesn't it? Social Media Examiner recently published a post that covered 10 big brand Facebook tactics, five of which I really, really liked because they will help your fans get involved with your brand and build a stronger connection with you.
Here are five successful big brand Facebook tactics any small business can use:
Crowdsource new product ideas
One of the smartest things any business can do when developing a new product, service, or feature is get feedback – and lots of it – from their customers. If you're building it for them, you need to make sure they 1 – want it and 2 – like the way it works.
Hence the idea of crowdsourcing new product ideas. You can ask for feedback on Facebook, but you can also ask on Twitter, via your blog, and the other social channels you use.
Have fun
I think "having fun" gets lost in the shuffle sometimes. One way to delight your audience is to make them laugh, so don't be afraid to be silly – as long as it's appropriate for your brand. Tell a dumb knock-knock joke that is somehow tied to your business or post a Mad Lib-type sentence and ask your fans to fill in the blanks (maybe offer a prize for the funniest one).
Respond to everyone
People love to know they're voices are being heard (especially Millenials, who are roughly between the ages of 18 and 35). Respond to every comment on Facebook – as well as every comment on your blog and every mention, DM, and retweet on Twitter. Get a conversation going with your fans, and keep it going. You'll likely see more people joining in.
Tell stories with short videos
You don't need to do a big, fancy production. Try creating fun and clever videos using Vine or Instagram that you can also share on Facebook. It has been proven over and over and over that people LOVE videos. It'll help people get to know you and your brand better, and it'll really up engagement.
Share images that capture a mood or season
I really liked this idea, as images that capture a mood or season (or even a holiday) evoke a lot of emotion, and people respond to emotion-filled marketing. Photos need not be complicated, but they must be beautiful.
Have you used "big brand" ideas you've come across in your own social media marketing? What did you do? How did it work out for you?

What is the retirement age for action heroes? Sylvester Stallone obviously doesn't think he is anywhere near it. After starring in Rocky Balboa last year, now he has dug out his headband and warpaint to play John James Rambo, everyone's favourite Vietnam veteran. Unsurprisingly the film, out in two weeks, is a 90-minute riot of blood-letting and intestine-spilling, set in Burma. Stallone has called it 'the bloodiest Rambo film for a generation'. You have to admire the way it is unapologetically titled Rambo (when it should by rights be called Rambo IV, following as it does First Blood, Rambo: First Blood Part II and Rambo III). Equally unashamed is Stallone's claim that bootleg copies of the film are influencing dissidents in Burma. This is the life. Not only do you get to continue the same action franchise for three decades. You also get to change the course of political history. In your own mind, at least.
Stallone will be 62 this year. He was 30 when he first played Rocky and 36 when First Blood came out. Age is probably not much of an issue for him. As anyone who knows his mother Jackie can see, he has inherited his mother's stunning cheekbones. And if the headband still fits ... He has already talked about Rambo V and is planning another Rocky film.
Is this brazen and ridiculous? Stallone only has to look to his peers for his answer. If they can get away with it, why shouldn't he? Last year Bruce Willis was not considered past it in his early fifties to play John McClane in Live Free or Die Hard (the fourth in the series), a part he first took on at the age of 32. In May this year Harrison Ford, almost 66, will star in Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, Indie's fourth outing, 27 years after Raiders of the Lost Ark. Going out with Calista Flockhart must keep you young. But this is pushing it a bit, isn't it?
There are hints in the new Rambo film that even Stallone has an awareness of the age issue. Rambo's physical prowess is untouched by time. He can still throttle a man with his bare hands. But he never appears wearing anything less skimpy than a short-sleeved T-shirt and even that is pulled right down to his elbows. We don't get any biceps, rippling thighs or even a well-turned ankle. Most of the time he is dressed like a nun in fatigues. He's gigantic, muscly and animalistic, a one-man ham (and in so many more ways than one). But there is no flesh on show. Was there a 'no varicose veins' clause in the contract?
There is a prolonged flashback sequence which shows him considerably younger and wearing another person's face (or, rather, wearing his own - it's now he's wearing someone else's). It only serves to remind you of how unlikely it is that Rambo's strength is unaltered. But somehow I suspect verisimilitude is not one of the film's chief artistic aims.
Stallone's audience doesn't seem to have a problem with remakes featuring a hero well past his sell-by date. Stallone's fans would happily pay to see him engaged in guerrilla warfare at 105. Part of the allure of the films has always been, 'Can he pull it off?' (And part of their 'fun', the fact that he can't.) Rocky Balboa grossed $70m in the United States and the new Rambo took $18.2m in its opening weekend. Indiana Jones, a more mainstream product, has had to be more careful in its handling of the geriatric hero: Spielberg has cast rising star Shia LaBeouf as a sidekick for Harrison Ford to make the older man seem like a wise father figure.
What's fascinating is that while these men camp it up into old age in roles blatantly unsuitable for them, there is not exactly a surplus of options for women in their peer group. Sigourney Weaver, who turns 60 next year, was allowed to play Ripley in Alien: Resurrection in her late forties but you can't imagine a reprise. At 32 Angelina Jolie is now the oldest female superhero around - and she doesn't have any new action movies on her schedule. She's in Kung Fu Panda - but even that's a voiceover. TV's new Bionic Woman (Michelle Ryan) is almost 10 years younger.
Even where there are opportunities to cast women in action roles, no one takes them. The TV series Lost offered a real chance. But there is no female counterpart to John Locke (Terry O'Quinn, who is 55). The only permanent 'older woman' figure in Lost - Korean actress Yunjin Kim who plays Sun-Hwa Kwon - is the grand old age of 34. (Why oh why is Danielle Rousseau - Mira Furlan, aged 52 - not allowed to be part of the main cast?)
So-called older actresses (why are men never called 'older actors'?) have to play the Queen (Helen Mirren) or an Alzheimer's sufferer (Julie Christie). Everyone gets really excited when there are any older woman roles at all: the Meryl Streep character was supposed to be one of the reasons The Devil Wears Prada got made into a film.
It's not that I want to see Judi Dench doing Rambo, although she could probably play the role more convincingly. It's just depressing that Hollywood feel audiences will 'buy' anything from male actors - however far-fetched. Female actors have to work twice as hard. And then not at all as they get older.
Looking at Rambo, maybe it is indeed better to do what older women in Hollywood have to do: play fewer, smaller roles but do it really well. At least that way you get taken seriously. But hardly ever working is a high price to pay for respect. Quality is not a problem for our older female actors - I bet they wouldn't mind a bit of quantity.

"NEW YORK COOL" at Bowdoin College Museum of Art, Brunswick | through July 19 | 207.725.3275
Most of the works in the show were executed within a 10-year period centered around 1960. Two of the best works that exemplify the changes in the air at that time are Adolph Gottlieb's "Circular" (1960) and Kenneth Noland's "Spread" (1958). The Gottlieb, although made a little later than the Noland, comes from the earlier side of the divide.
"Circular" is a characteristic work of the best period in Gottlieb's career. A bright red circle with a darker center floats on a white ground in the top half of the painting, and a rough-edged brown mass occupies the lower half. Close up, one can see how the paint is built up, tangible and carefully wrought, resolving a harmony from dissonant elements.
The Noland is one of his "Target" series, concentric circles of highly saturated color made before he went on to his better-known horizontal-stripe paintings. Noland had learned about stain painting from Helen Frankenthaler (also in this show) , and took it in a new direction, using color in a simple but resonant structure. The Noland "Target" paintings are rarely shown, and were often as good as anything he has made in his long career. "Spread" is close to ten feet square, and is a wonderful painting.
Louise Nevelson was undervalued during that period, and it's hard, in retrospect, to see why. She carried on with her characteristic wood assemblages throughout her career, in her later years finally getting the recognition she deserved. "The Tropical Gardens" (1957), made of her usual black boxes and collected bits and pieces, has that dominant presence shared by all really good sculpture, and does it without being physically overwhelming.
Works by Alex Katz and Will Barnet show them in transitional periods in the their work. A Barnet, "Little Duluth Bathers" (1960), is nearly abstract. The later "Portrait of RRN" (1965) is directly representational, made with flat, un-modeled shapes, but without the iconographic color of his later works.
The two Alex Katz paintings, "Ada Ada" (1959) and "Ada Seated" (1963), are very simply rendered, but haven't yet reached the minimalist-inspired artificiality that became Katz's characteristic style.

Swiss manufacturer Peter Monteverdi combined stylish European bodywork with a powerful American V8 to produce the exciting Monteverdi Hai supercar.Undeniably powerful, the 180mph Hai was supposedly a very 'challenging' drive. Just two of this rarest of supercars were made during the 1970's both powered by a Chrysler 7 litre V8 encompassed by Fiore styled bodywork.20 years later, Monteverdi unveiled the Hai's successor the awesome 650SS. This time power was a mind blowing 650bhp from what was basically a Cosworth Formula One engine!

We are now registering players for indoor soccer for the Winter I season that starts November 1 and goes through mid-January. Indoor soccer is great to keep us active in the sport and typically takes the place of a lot of practices we can't hold during limited daylight hours. Games will be played at Apex Indoor Sports Center in Mansfield (about a 35 minute drive from Cleburne).
Participation is optional for any player and missing games for family events during the holidays is acceptable. Please don't sign up if you don't think you can make the majority of the games. Games can be played almost any night of the week and some older teams will play some of their games later at night such as 10:00 or 11:00 pm.
The cost to play breaks down like this:
- $50.00 per player for Winter I - $20.00 per player for an ID Card good for 1 year - $48.00 or $64.00 worth of referee fees divided among the players that sign up (around $4.00 per player)
Total fees are around $75.00 per player

Will conservatives support Shelley Moore Capito's West Virginia run?
West Virginia Rep. Shelley Moore Capito's Senate candidacy is already creating an unsettling sense of déjà vu for Republicans. …
Not even three weeks since the election, Capito's challenge to Democrat Sen. Jay Rockefeller is already shaping up as test case of whether Republicans can overcome deep fissures within the party and produce palatable general-election candidates who aren't fatally wounded by bruising primary battles. …
"Congresswoman Capito has a long record of support of bailouts, pork and bigger government," Club for Growth President Chris Chocola said in a statement. "She voted to bail out Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, for massive expansions of government-run health insurance, giveaways to Big Labor, and repeatedly voted to continue funding for wasteful earmarks like an Exploratorium in San Francisco and an aquarium in South Carolina. That's not the formula for GOP success in U.S. Senate races." …
Capito is unquestionably a moderate: She supports abortion rights, has voted to extend unemployment benefits and is in favor of the State Children's Health Insurance Program. In 2008, she ran a television ad that touted her willingness to break from her party by voting against tax breaks for oil companies and twice supporting an override of President George W. Bush's veto of the SCHIP bill.

We won't cover the Sony KDL-55HX853'a SEN content in detail as we did this in our 46HX853 review, but the highlights are BBC iPlayer, Demand 5, BBC News, Sky News, Skype, LoveFilm, Netflix, the Sony Entertainment Television Channel, Sony's Video Unlimited pay per view platform, and Sony's Music Unlimited subscription music service. You can also see your Twitter account feeds scrollling along under the TV picture that continues to play on the left side of the SEN menus.
Our only main problem with SEN, in fact, is that the main menus loads rather sluggishly.
It's a shame Sony hasn't also revamped its main setup menus. These still employ the tortuously over-complicated double-axis 'XrossMediaBar' system we disliked so much in 2011, making it just as well that the SEN button now removes a good deal of your potential interaction time with this frustrating older system.
No fancy stuff
We're duty bound to point out that the Sony KDL-55HX853 only ships with a standard remote control, offering no gesture, voice or touchpad remote options like some of its rivals this year. Its online service also doesn't trouble itself with the reams of small-scale game and infotainment apps rife on other online platforms. Which we guess could make the 55HX853 seem a touch 'old-fashioned' for a 2012 flagship TV.
However, the set does work nicely with Sony tablet computers, even being able to share video with them. More importantly, the 55HX853 is about as far away from 'out of date' as it's possible to get when it comes to the small matter of its picture quality.
As with the 46HX853, our first response to seeing the Sony 55HX853 in action was to sit bolt upright with are mouths hanging open like some slack-jawed yokel. In fact, its impact is even more potent on account of its extra 9in of screen size.
In attempting to dissect the multiple elements that make the 55HX853's pictures so special, let's start with something simple: namely that images look superbly bright - much punchier than the images from last year's equivalent Sony models.
Colour rave
Crucially, though, this brightness isn't just thrown onto the screen wantonly as it quite often can be with LCD TVs. For instance, rather than 'drowning out' colour subtleties or forcing the colour palette to look pumped up, the brightness is simply used to bring out an almost infinite degree of subtlety when it comes to colour blends, and for allowing the colour gamut to stretch well beyond what you can see on the vast majority of rival TVs.
Also outstanding - ground-breaking even - is the Sony KDL-55HX853's motion handling. Watching the second England/West Indies test match revealed the set's reproduction of motion to be near flawless, even with only the most gentle of the many provided motion processing options in play.
The usual judder and motion blur issues associated with LCD TVs are almost completely eradicated, leaving a sense of purity and clarity that combines with scintillating HD detailing and the aforementioned colour rendering to leave our favourite summer sporting spectacle looking perhaps more engrossingly natural than it ever has on an LCD TV.
I know that the stand angles the screen backwards at 6 degrees but can it support the TV in a bolt upright position.?
It's obviously a good value 55" screen and worth considering, but I simply could never own a TV that point in the air.
1. It's just Wrong.
2. My TV's are placed above me and LCD panels suffer from bad viewing angles (compared to my present Plasma)
3. It's just wrong.
4. 3D on LCD panels relies on being level with the set (useless if it's pointing at the ceiling)
5. It's just soooo wrong.
I'm not just writing this to pick holes, I genuinely am looking for a 55-60" TV and I used to buy nothing but Sony. Having just purchased another TV for the bedroom this morning, this isn't an urgent purchase but it's tempting to watch the Olympics on !
It's not at all surprising that the set can't play MKV's; Sony doesn't like them because it assumes they're pirated.
It's the same reason the PS3 can't play them. There are free programs that will take the audio and video from an MKV container and put it into a different type of container which the PS3 will happily play.
It only takes seconds. There's absolutely no transcoding involved; it's the MKV container Sony doesn't like not the various codecs that are used or the video.
And it's this type of attitude towards its customers that makes it a hundred times harder for Sony to get my money than any other company.
I play MKV's on my PS3 almost every day.
I'm curious too scott, the only way i know of is either to stream it through PS3 media server or convert the file to a different container using mkv2vob as Bugblatter mentioned.
I believe he is streaming mkvs and transcoding. I use Medialink by Nullriver on my Mac to do the same thing. Fantastic app really, streams from several sources(folders, iTunes, iPhoto, Aperture, etc.). I'm running gigabit ethernet to both devices, but you can set it up to other network types to adjust for bandwidth. There are a handful of others for Mac and Windows, just do a bit of research. I recommend Medialink for Mac above all though.
I have the previous model version 46 X803 and this is likely to be my next TV set. Good to see Sony is back on top of their game.
I have a Sony 46HX823 and a Sony BDP-S480 BLURAY PLAYER and i watch files in MKV all the time.

Buoyed by support from rural areas, Boissevain's David Neufeld captured the first-ever contested Green party nomination in Brandon-Souris at the Park Community Centre last night.
About 25 party faithful showed up to vote, with Neufeld garnering an "overwhelming majority," according to a party official.
The father of four, who operates the Room to Grow greenhouse, said the current state of federal politics in Canada was the impetus to run in the upcoming byelection.
Related Items
"I was getting increasingly upset that the tone of government is hostile to innovation and people meeting and creating new things," the 57-year-old said. "It's time to stand up and say this isn't good."
Neufeld pointed to the recent controversy surrounding the Conservative nomination race as an opportunity to inject new life into the party.
"I think it's a four-way race," he said. "The Tories are going to lose a lot of votes ... I think the Liberals, NDP and the Greens are all going to pick up votes in this byelection."
Those sentiments were echoed by Green Leader Elizabeth May, who raised Neufeld's hand in solidarity after the vote was announced.
May, who was in Brandon as part of her Save Democracy from Politics Tour, shone a spotlight on the Tories, who failed to have a nomination race after two candidates were disqualified for improper paperwork.
"We got all of the nomination papers for our candidates on time with no problems," she joked.
"Do you buy the story that only one (Conservative) candidate got their paperwork in on time? ... I don't. Something happened — interference at the senior levels of the Conservative party. And they do it all the time."
Two years ago, during the 2011 election, only 57.54 per cent of eligible voters made it to the polls in Brandon-Souris —a number that is traditionally lower in byelections — prompting belief the Greens can do some damage in the riding.
"Byelections are different," May said, "so when people ask you why they should vote Green, if you think you're at the door of a Conservative voter you might remind them of this: How you vote in this election doesn't affect who the prime minister is going to be ... this election is about sending a message. Do you feel good about the way things are going? Do you wonder why Nigel Wright wrote a $90,000 cheque to Mike Duffy?"
Ethical issues surrounding the Stephen Harper-led government, which took power in 2006, were interwoven into the leader's message.
May questioned the resignation of former Conservative MP Merv Tweed to become the president of a rail company after serving as the chair of the transportation committee.
"He didn't do anything illegal, but there is an ethical hole in the laws that would allow someone who chaired a parliamentary committee to move right into a private sector position in an industry he used to regulate."
While the Greens won less than six per cent of the total vote in the riding in the last election, May believes voters are ready for a change.
After winning her seat with the highest turnout in the country at 75.25 per cent, the blueprint for success is clear —get more voters to the polls.
"The best way to get voter turnout to go up is to give people hope," she said.
Neufeld defeated 58-year-old Lynwood Walker, a help desk receptionist at Assiniboine Community College, while the third candidate, 43-year-old Layne Tepleski, an inspector with the Canadian Food Inspection Agency, cited a conflict with his employment and withdrew from the race.

I appreciate the guest post, Jewel Rodgers
I've been growing some of my own herbs, and therefore been cooking up a storm! I don't know why all of a sudden I've gotten the chef bug but I feel like I'm in my kitchen at least 2 hours a day preparing something, which is a lot for me. I talked to my husband aboutTEXASelectricityPROVIDERS.com since I'm running that oven all the time now and he said he'd look into it. I know he's enjoying all the homecooked food I've been serving him and I would be too, if I were getting to eat all that meatloaf! I can't because of my diet but I guess I'm kind of living vicariously through Jim…that's pretty much par for the course! I've been sending large batches into his office and he says the guys are just eating them up. That makes me so happy to hear and it's good to know all my time behind the stove isn't being spent in vain! At least someone's getting to enjoy the delicious food I've been preparing all month!

I don't cook very much anymore, with my three sons out of the house and just me...but, in my years of travel about the world, my cookbook collection is over 500 and I even used to cater. Cooking has always been such fun but it is much harder now for me, at 66, with all my arthritic aches and pains. I can't stand for long hours at a stove, either.

It?s still a year off from reaching Australian shores but the upcoming NSX supercar is already creating a buzz over Honda headquarters.
The anticipation for the six-figure supercar has been steadily building ever since Australian allocation was confirmed in September.
Now, Honda Australia director Stephen Collins has given a small insight of what prospective buyers can expect when the NSX finally lobs, sometime early in 2015.
?It?s a technology flagship. I saw the GT version in [Japan] a couple of months ago, which did a few laps, and it?s just an awesome,? Collins said.
?It just displays everything that?s good about Honda?s sporty DNA.?
As with the original, the new production NSX will be powered by a mid-mounted V6 petrol engine. In concept form, the new NSX featured a high-tech hybrid drivetrain, with a rear mounted electric motor teaming with the V6 engine to drive the rear wheels and two front electric motors driving the front wheels.
As for the production version, all Honda has said so far is that the car will send its power to all four wheels via a dual-clutch automatic transmission, suggesting a hybrid drivetrain of some sort will be employed.
At the launch of the Honda CR-V diesel on Monday, Collins likened the upcoming supercar to a Porsche 911 Turbo.
?I think it?s out on its own,? Collins said of the NSX?s direct competitors. ?I don?t think it?s a Nissan GT-R competitor.
?Originally ? and maybe it?s not so different ? Porsche 911 Turbo was one of the major competitors. But I think that people buy that sort of car aren?t necessarily going to be shopping for different types of sports cars
?These are people that want the latest and greatest and the best.?
The NSX project is one close to Collins? heart, with the local Honda chief having presided over the legendary first generation model in his mid-20s as the car?s product manager.
That original car was a groundbreaker in its day, with an aluminium body and development input from late Formula One great Ayrton Senna. The car pushed the likes of porsche and Ferrari to lift their game ? which they did ? but for more than a decade the NSX went largely unloved from a development perspective from Honda. By the time it was killed off in 2005 it was well of the pace of performance cars of the day.
Honda has remained closely guarded on specifics of the new NSX, but Collins revealed that Australia would be ?high up? in the global hierarchy to take stock of available models.
?Really the reason that we could announce it was coming was that we have a good history of selling the previous one, which put us up the pecking order,? he said.
?We?ve announced it?s coming - timing-wise, price, spec and everything else, it?s just way too early to say anything.?
Asked whether he thought the NSX could become a cult car, Collins said: ?just the way it looks, the way it will drive, the technology it will have in it ? I think yes, absolutely. It will be an iconic car.?
The new NSX could herald something of a product renaissance for Honda, with the brand also rolling out three new small capacity turbocharged engines over the next few years: a 2.0-litre four-cylinder, a 1.5-litre four cylinder and a 1.0-litre three-cylinder.
?In the coming years, Honda will be dialling up the fun element in our cars big time,? Collins said.
Asked whether specific engines had already been allocated to specific upcoming cars, he said: ?we?re looking at the whole range, (but we have to consider) changes, life cycle, when we can get the engines, what may or may not be suitable.
?I guess you don?t have to be Einstein to work out that the 1.0-litre engine is going to be skewed down low. We?re just working through all of that ? they will be fitted to new models only.?

In a state of mind just outside of Austin, Texas, ex-private eye Milo Milodragovitch is watching a relationship go sour and running a bar whose real business is cleaning some dirty money. Now a man five times married and many times burned will find out how far he really is from the Promised Land . . .
It all starts when Milo collides with a big black man who's just shot a drug dealer and promptly disappears. The cops want Milo to hunt the gunman down -- for the wrong reasons and in the wrong places. Milo goes running into a world of big money, small armies, and two women with enough lust to share it with a private eye with a bad back. For Milo, the end of the road is the land of his birth, Montana, where a beautiful woman, a dangerous man, and a mother lode of truth are waiting for their favorite son to come home -- bringing with him a gun, a plan, and a prayer.
"synopsis" may belong to another edition of this title.
It's been too long since James Crumley's last Milo Milodragovitch adventure, but the wait was worth it. The Final Country is a fully satisfying read with plenty of action, even more sex, and superb characterization.
"A chase after money and revenge had brought me to Texas, and a woman had kept me here," Milo explains. But trying to salvage a love affair, keep his PI business going, and run a tavern (whose real business is laundering drug money) hasn't kept trouble from following Milo--or maybe it's the other way around. When a man kills a drug dealer right in front of him, Milo can't help but track the shooter down, if only to keep the Texas cops from railroading him into the death chamber. Soon one beautiful woman frames Milo for the murder of a well- connected Texan, and another one with ties to both killings disappears, setting up the intricately plotted action of this fast-paced thriller.
Crumley's narrative gifts and poetic talents set this crazy-funny mystery apart. Milo is a consistently interesting protagonist, especially here, as Crumley depicts him in the fullness of middle age, a hard-boiled, bruised, and battered dick who, despite all evidence to the contrary, still believes in the redemptive powers of love--not to mention liquor, cocaine, and sex. Texas may not be Milo's natural habitat, but it's a big enough backdrop for his unique talents, and for Crumley's, too. --Jane AdamsAbout the Author:
James Crumley was born in Three Rivers, Texas, and spent most of his childhood in South Texas. He currently teaches creative writing at the University of Texas in El Paso and summers in Missoula, Montana. The Final Country is his sixth novel.

|Gingerboy's main room: dark bamboo and changing colour end wall
It was my birthday last week, and I am fortunate enough to work for a small company that celebrates its staff members' birthdays by treating us all to lunch. Having tried to coordinate previous birthday lunches unsuccessfully at Gingerboy (27-29 Crossley Street, Melbourne), the anticipation (on my part, anyway) had been building for months. I really wanted to see why this restaurant so frequently tops 'best restaurant' lists in Melbourne. Surely it couldn't be that great?! I was dubious.
I'm happy to say I was pleasantly surprised. This place is fantastic. Or, to use an expression I'm rather fond of at the moment, it is AWSBALLZ.
Again, housed on a laneway off the top end of Bourke Street (I promise I don't spend ALL my time in that part of town - sometimes I go to King Street, haha), Gingerboy is one of Melbourne's iconic laneway delights. It describes its food as "a modern Australian adaptation of the Asian hawker-style street market food". Throw into the mix some amazing cocktails, fantastic service, outstanding interior fittings, and excellent coffee (wink, wink), and you have on your hands one pretty great place.
The main part of the restaurant is predominantly dark with lime green touches. It features a changing-colour light-wall at one end, another wall covered length to length in dark bamboo, opaque neon plastic chairs, a huge red tassled hanging piece, and bright artworks alongside traditional ornaments.

There's a high chance I was so impressed by the interior design because I tend to go for bright, sparkly things, but I really do believe it all comes together very nicely, despite being an eclectic mix of... stuff.
We had a round of the most delicious cocktail ever. It's my new favourite. It's called the "Gin No Name", and features gin (duh), with lemongrass, kaffir lime, lychee and citrus. It was so delicious, I had to have two!

And then, the food.
At our birthday lunches, we tend to order bits of everything, then all share it. I LOVED, repeat LOVED, everything we ate at Gingerboy, bar one item: a wagyu meat dumpling thing that was just too meaty for my tastes. The boys liked it, though. This is what we had:
|Kingfish tataki. This was SO GOOD, we got it twice.
|Whole fried baby snapper
|Lovely staffer dissecting whole snapper for us
|Salt & pepper chicken
|Can't remember name but YUM
|Prawn & ginger in rice pastry
|Wagyu in la-lot... this was a bit much for me
|Very meaty!
We also had son-in-law eggs that were AMAZING. We were told to put the whole egg in our mouth as, when you bite into it, the yolk goes everywhere, and this way, you can catch it! It's a warm, crunchy, delicious explosion in your mouth. Mm hmm.
Finally, because it was my birthday, we had dessert. These were the boys' choices:
|Banana fritters
|Passionfruit parfait
And I, being SPECIAL, got a birthday candle with my effing amazing "toasted coconut tofu cheesecake, raspberry jelly". Scattered over the plate were what looked like freeze-dried, and tasted like intense passionfruit pieces, over dusted icing sugar. YUM.

This was a 'special occasion' meal, but goddammit, I will be inventing any special occasion I can to go back to Gingerboy as soon as possible.
Update: 14 October 2013
Last month, my work crew returned to Gingerboy for another birthday lunch. Seems we just can't stay away. The food was just as awesome as last time - but this time we decided to have a kingfish tataki serve EACH (since they're just too good to share), and we also had the whole snapper again (NOT each!).

|SNAPPER, that's right I said SNAPPER
The desserts were just as visually and ...taste-fully? spectacular:
|Coconut mousse, coconut ice-cream and wafer thingy
|Can't remember what this was but it was VERY GREEN AND MELTY
|Fairy floss & raspberry goodness
And then I took a few more decor shots for you as well. You can thank me later. By buying me dinner at Gingerboy. (See what I did there?)
