text: I just returned from a four day trip to Coyote Gulch in the Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument. It was a quite the adventure, crossing the many different micro climates of the trail. We went from slick rock, to sand dunes, to small willow and cottonwood forests on the canyon floor. I was with a group of five backpackers, led by Garth Tino, a faculty member at Utah Valley University. I had a great time, but made some mistakes. Everyone forgets something on a trip, and I forgot two things. One was an inconvenience my camp shoes, but the other was a huge embarrassment, my hand sanitizer. I felt so awkward every time I had to ask someone for theirs. Lesson learned. Time to make a poop bag. (It's not what it sounds like) We found a spring, flowing water right from the rock, and the water was pretty tasty. I feel that my choice of grub was good, and remember, you can eat good in the back country and not need a full stove or fridge. We had a great view of the stars, and if the moon wasn't full, I might have slept under the stars. One thing that we discussed as a class was the difference between personal and professional responsibility. By yourself or a group of friends, there are some risks that you might be willing to take, that if you professionally were to do would be quite foolish or reckless. You might even stray into the legal area of endangerment. Some parts of the trail can be difficult to find and follow, so if you desire to follow in my footsteps, do your research, and get the right maps. Due to the many interconnected waterways, side and slot canyons, it can be easy to get lost. Talk to people who have been there, and better yet, talk to the BLM rangers who oversee the NM to really know before you go.

Boating on Lake Minnewanka - Banff, Alberta
After a winter of record snowfall in the Canadian Rockies, we had to wait until mid-July for our first outdoor adventure of the summer season in Banff National Park. We decided to go boating on Lake Minnewanka, the largest lake in the Canadian Mountain Parks.
Lake Minnewanka is located 10 minutes outside of Banff, Alberta and is man-made reservoir created to generate hydro-electric power for the townsite. It's the only lake in Banff National Park to allow sailboats, power boats and larger vessels, but no jet boats or Seadoos.
Further than Ghost Lake near Cochrane, this is a popular lake for anglers and boaters looking for day sails from Calgary. Two Jack Lake is another popular lake and is located just below Lake Minnewanka, at the bottom of the dam. It's a smaller lake suitable for kayaking, canoeing & scuba diving. Larger boats are prohibited.
Boating in Banff
Reversing down the public boat launch at Lake Minnewanka was a bit harrowing. It was the first time of the year I was reversing a boat trailer and my attempts were a bit crooked to say the least. Tourists were even snapping pictures, much to my chagrin.
On the water, a few other boats were tied up at the large public dock. The far side facing the open water was reserved for large tour boats. Since we were ready to go and didn't need to tie up, we started the outboard and headed to the other side of the lake.

|Don't miss a boat trip in Banff, Alberta.
Lake Minnewanka is a long, narrow lake. Crossing the lake took only a few minutes. The large mountains acted as a wind buffer and the water was calm and the air was still. We were planning on beaching the boat and having a picnic on the rocky shore but we didn't want to attract the roaming wildlife in the area – including deer, elk, mountain sheep and bears. Instead, we headed up the lake.
At 28 kilometers long, this is the largest lake in the Canadian Mountain Parks. The views of Mount Inglismaldie & Girouard were spectacular. Looking up at these rocky giants from the water, we saw mountain faces that were inaccessible from the roads in the park. Absolutely remarkable.
As we ventured further, the scenery got prettier and quieter. We'd cut the engine and just floated on the placid turquoise water. Between the musical bird calls that echoed in the secluded valley, the silence was unbelievable. The grand mountains looked down upon us in the valley. Absolutely beautiful.
History of Lake Minnewanka
Minnewanka means "Water of the Spirits" in the Nakota Stoney Language, the local First Nations people. They've inhabited the area for over 10,000 years and many rocky tools have been found in the area.
Dams were constructed on the Cascade River in 1912 and 1941 and created the existing lake. SCUBA divers who can brave the cold water have a cordoned off area near the earthen dam to explore a submerged village, concrete foundations and the previous 1912 dam 30 meters below.
View Lake Minnewanka - Banff, Alberta in a larger map
From Calgary, take the first Banff exit and turn right onto the Minnewanka Loop. The parking lot is on the western end of the lake near the dam. The furthest parking lot has larger stalls to accommodate trucks and boat trailers. A National Park pass is required when boating on Lake Minnewanka.

Ceremony honors local families who lost a child
PALM DESERT, Calif. - "Go home son, go home," whispered Manuel Dagnino as he released a single white dove into the sky.
It's been two years since Dagnino's son, Emilio, died at just 17 years old. Overcome with emotion, he was finally able to say good-bye.
"I just felt I had my son in my hands," Dagnino said.
The moving ceremony, held at Cal State San Bernardino in Palm Desert Friday afternoon, was dedicated to the 105 children from Riverside County who passed away last year, whose families were embraced by The Unforgettables Foundation.
"It was really emotional. You know, it was like letting go of all the hurt, finally seeing something at peace," said Cindy Toscano, who lost her 9-year-old sister, Sunee, last year.
"People see the doves flying and they're brought in to close harmony that there's something beautiful beyond and people can have hope," said Timothy Evans, Founder of The Unforgettables Foundation.
The charity helps financially-challenged families give their child a dignified funeral. Over the last 15 years, it has helped 5,000 families.
"It's a tremendous kick in the gut. It's an insult to injury. You're experiencing the worst thing a family can imagine and on top of it you can't afford a simple, timely burial," Evans said.
"When it happened, we didn't know what to do or how to go about it and the foundation really helped to start us out," Toscano said.
The remembrance ceremony served as a capstone to the foundation's inaugural summit, "Children and Families in Crisis." It aimed to educate parents and caregivers about the resources available to grieving families and the risks to children's health and safety.
"It shows the community cares," Evans said.
"I feel that The Unforgettables are a part of my family. They reached out to help us when we really needed it. And I'm very grateful," Dagnino said.

So I am visiting friends in Texas and carrying while down here. One day when I was out I get a text asking me to go to the store and pick up some stuff including beer. Most of the laws I have read has been about being in a bar or establishment that served alcohol. Not the purchase and transportation of alcohol while carrying. Which leads to my questions...
1 - Can You buy a six pack to take home while carrying?
2 - If you BUY dinner for people who has choosen to drink. Since you are the one legally purchasing alcohol can you carry at the same time?
Things that made me go HMMMM!!

The law refers to you the weapon carrier not other people that aren't carrying.
Number 1- Yes
Number 2- Yes
You can not carry in a business which generates 51% or more of its revenue from the sale of alcohol for on site consumption. You can carry in a liquor store or supermarket or any other establishment that sells beer were there is no consumption. Read all signs before entering any business.

Wrong! In Texas, a CHL holder can carry in a liquor store and even buy liquor from a liquor store. A CHL holder cannot carry into an establishment that generates more than 51% revenue from sales of alcohol for on site consumption (basically a bar, a bar/restaurant is ok to carry).
Sent from my GS 3 using Tapatalk 2
In Texas, there are only 2 signs to worry about. The first will reference Texas Penal Code 30.06 and prohibits concealed carry within the posted establishment. The second is the red 51% sign that indicates the business generates 51% of its revenue from on site consumption liquor sales. All other signs can be ignored by CHL holders.
Sent from my GS 3 using Tapatalk 2
And also acquaint yourself with the law regarding being impaired while carrying in Texas. What I was taught during my CHL class is that you can consume alcohol (if you choose to), but if a peace office determines that you are intoxicated, there is not a specific legal limit that you are "okay" if you are below. As far as I know, the only specific BAC that is referenced with regard to CHL is 0.08% - at which point you are considered impaired, regardless of field sobriety test results.
If you're not drinking, you're good to go as long as the place in question is not posted with 30.06 signs, 51% signs, or is otherwise a place that you can't carry (pro sporting event, federal property, etc.)
Common sense and legal sense can be contrary to each other. Sure would seem that common sense would say that if alcohol has not been consumed by you it should not enter into the equation; unfortunately that is not the way the law reads in many states--just being in a business where alcohol is served is enough to get you in trouble. Be sure you do your due diligence in Texas and every other state and know your local laws before you mix CC and liquor in any way shape or form. With all due respect, do not just accept the words of forum members---they may think they know the law but they can be wrong and this explanation should you have a problem is useless in your defense. I know people who do not drink at all but still frequent alcohol-serving restaurants with their CCWs contrary to the CC laws in SC--the thought being that if, at night, I have to get back to my car parked in a darkened area, I want to be protected. Makes sense to me--after all you are CC so no one should theoretically know you have a CCW--problem is if you should have a confrontation on the way to your car that causes injury or death---I would like to know how you will explain your possession of said firearm after leaving a location where you could not have firearm in the first place. You may get a pass on real criminal problem in SC, but civilly--you may have a very expensive problem.

Season the venison steak with salt and freshly milled pepper. Heat the fat in the roasting pan on the hob and fry the meat briefly on all sides.
Then place the venison steak and pumpkin next to each other in the oven and cook the venison at a core temperature of 56 °C (meat thermometer), basting frequently. From time to time turn the pumpkin. The point at which the pumpkin is cooked depends on the structure of the pumpkin, cooking time approx. 30 minutes. Take pumpkin out and keep warm.
Add the grapes shortly before serving, heat briefly and season to taste with salt and freshly milled pepper. Heat the wild honey and pour over the meat to glaze it. Carve the roasted venison steak, which is pink inside, and serve with the pumpkin-grape vegetable mixture.
Serve with spaetzle and a cream game sauce.

Nikon AF-S NIKKOR 18-35mm f/3.5-4.5G ED
Further readings for the Nikon AF-S NIKKOR 18-35mm f/3.5-4.5G ED
To provide photographers with a broader perspective about mobiles, lenses and cameras, here are links to articles, reviews, and analyses of photographic equipment produced by DxOMark, renown websites, magazines or blogs.
We summarize the scores and analyses of multi-purpose zoom lenses in this second part of our review of the best lenses for the Nikon D5. More versatile than primes, zoom lenses are often a more convenient choice for shooting in fast-paced environments when you don't always have time to switch lenses. Although primes generally deliver better image quality, with noticeably improved edge sharpness and transmission, zoom performance has steadily improved, and now some come close to rivalling the performance of a prime.
The Nikon D750 is an affordable 24.3Mp full-frame DSLR with attractive-looking specs for both the enthusiast and the professional photographer. It's capable of producing outstanding pictures, but the quality of the lens used has a bearing on image quality. We've analyzed the performance of 105 lenses on the Nikon D750, and in part one we bring you an analysis of the top three zoom lenses in six different categories.
In this second installment of lens recommendations for the Nikon D810, we've been analyzing the best performing models for landscape and wildlife photography. Admittedly when it comes to fast-paced photography there are better choices in Nikon's range but there's always a case for high-resolution imagery but the Nikon D810 also serves to highlight the best performing models, and particularly in the longer focal lengths where it's more common (and often more practical) to use cameras with lower pixel densities.
Aimed at professional studio and landscape photographers, the full-frame 36-Mpix D800E with its modified AA filter effectively increasing resolution over the standard D800 model is the closest 35mm full-frame camera yet to rival larger formats in rendering fine detail. If you're undecided over which of the two models to choose, we've analyzed the image quality of the Nikon D800E with over 100 different lenses to discover how well this groundbreaking camera performs.
When Pentax announced the revised HD Limited primes, the firm also revealed the first HD Limited zoom. Read on to find out how this exciting new addition to the range performs.
Following on from the lens recommendations for the earlier full-frame Nikon D600, we've now had the opportunity to assess a wide range lenses with that model's replacement, the 24-Mpix D610. We've analyzed a total of 95 Nikkor and third-party prime and zoom models with the D610 to assess image quality, and we've come across some unexpected results. Read on to find out more about that and which lenses perform best when paired with the camera.
Sigma's move away from the value-end of the market has resulted in some very high-quality yet sensitively priced lenses such as the full-frame 35mm f1.4 HSM A and this lens, the APS-C format 18-35mm f1.8 DC HSM. While we've previously reviewed the Canon mount version, Sigma has just released the lens in Nikon mount and we were curious to see if the performance could be repeated. Read on to find out.
Following the recommendations for Nikon D7100, we've had the opportunity to assess another of the firm's 24-Mpix DX format cameras – the mid-range D5200 - with over 120 Nikkor and third-party prime and zoom models to assess image quality. Read onto find out which of these lenses perform best when paired with the camera.
This is the second part of our lens recommendations for the Nikon D7100 where we've analyzed nearly 60 Nikkor and third-party standard and portrait prime and zoom models to assess their optical quality. Read onto find out which of these lenses are the best performers when paired with Nikon's ultra-high resolution 24-Mpix APS-C format semi-pro model.
This is part one of our lens recommendations for the Nikon D7100 where we've tested over 120 Nikkor and third-party prime and zoom models to assess image quality. Read onto find out which of these lenses are perform best when paired with Nikon's 24M-Pix APS-C format semi-pro model.

Better than the 17-35?
I hope this is accurate as the old 18-35mm was easily the worst lens I have ever owned. I tried two, both from different batches and each managed to grow light blobs on highlights! Parked cars looked as though their headlights were on and resolution, even on a D200 was sepulchral. Now you are claiming the new G lens betters under all use the old 17-35mm f2.8, but the old 17-35mm f2.8 was said to better all the primes at the focal lengths it covered. Here I note the resolution you get from it, as with the 17-50mm AFS f2.8 Nikkor is dreadful - practically everywhere and all the time, especially as you go further into the longer focal lengths. Am I crazy, but maybe just possibly this is due to focus errors?? Are you using live view. Are you, IN FACT testing all these different machines as you claim, with every single lens, or merely extrapolatuing sharpness and other scores from a basic actual reading- as gas and electricity meter readers estimate performance??
What makes me suspicious is that my 17-35mm lens is rather better than you tell me it is on a D800. Interestingly I am getting in an old 24-50mm f3.3-4.5 lens to use. Notably it is ignored these days, but it was, for 18 years Nikon's ONLY 24xxx zoom. Surely despite reports, it must be OK? as that is a very long time for the best-known manufacturer to produce only one model zoom.
I have also bought and returned 2 24-70mm lenses as they were only ever sharp in the middle due to field curvature. Even at f5.6-8 on a D800 they were a joke- and your test concurs only as far as chromatic aberration is concerned. Your tests do not reflect actual use- which is a shame as I am sure a practically bad lens might be bad at usual distances, yet fine in front of a test target.

Re: Better than the 17-35?
The following describes our procedure for shooting Through Focus MTF Targets. For each measured focal length and aperture setting:
- Distance set to 35x the focal length
- Camera is positioned in the middle of a focusing rack; autofocus is initiated to test accuracy (in live view mode if possible)
- Autofocus switched OFF
- We then perform more than 40 shots on a long focusing rack, bracketing around the focus distance to find the optimal focusing position (without using autofocus). With this step, called "through focus", we are 100% certain to locate and record the optimum or "best focus" position for each lens, when mounted on the camera.
There are many sources of vibration that could impact sharpness / resolution measurement (i.e. mechanical shutter, mirror for vibration, tripod-type used etc …)
- To avoid problems arising from vibration we use a very specific protocol:
· Lab is in perfect darkness
· Heavy (72 kg) studio stand
· Remote control is used
· Step 1: mirror lock where possible
· Step 2: Timer: 2s
· Step 3: Time exposure 1s in total dark in order to get rid of the shutter vibrations
· Flash between 1/4000s and 1/1000s depending on the aperture, synchronized on the second curtain
· Electronic shutter where possible

Nikon 18-35 G - Field Experience
I have been using this new 18-35 G Nikkor for about a month now on a D600. The sharpness and contrast have been very good. But I have seen a bigger issue with flare, more than I'm used to seeing with other lenses. It just means I need to be more careful whenever I get even close to pointing towards the sun, or any bright point source light.

18-35 test coming?
I've been holding off on purchasing the AF-S Nikkor 18-35mm f/3.5-4.5G ED until you guys give it a test & review. Your last post said nothing before June, and being June, I was hoping that I'd see something this month. Any updates or projected test dates?
Thanks for all that you guys do. You're a tremendous resource that helps me and others make more informed decisions with our camera equipment.

Jessica's '16 & Pregnant' Lesson: Emily Proves Juggling School & A Baby Is Hard!
Emily's trying hard to keep up with school and raise baby Liam Allen so far away from her friends and boyfriend!
16 and Pregnant's featured mom for the Nov. 9 episode was Emily! Her mom kicks her out of her house when she finds out she is pregnant, but she is lucky she has a supportive dad! Her dad, Stacey, takes her in so he can help her while she is pregnant. The problem with her dad's place, though, is that it's far away from Emily's school, friends and her baby's daddy, Daniel. He celebrates getting a scholarship to college, while Emily falls behind in her school work. She eventually gets frustrated that she is watching her opportunities disappear because she got pregnant at 16.
Here's what you need to know about Emily:
Will she be a good mom? Emily seems like she is going to be a good caring mother, but it's going to be hard for her to get past her resentment over falling behind in school because of her pregnancy. Otherwise, Emily is a caring and bright girl who seems like she is going to make smart choices for her future.
What's her family like? Emily's mom kicked her out of the house when she found out she was pregnant, so enough said there. But her father and her step mother are really supportive in all of Emily's decisions. They are there to talk with Emily while she decides if she wants to definitely stay with her boyfriend. Her step mother also helps Emily pin down home schooling when she is failing her classes because of attendance.
How's the baby daddy? Daniel seems like he is very bright, and he loves his son Liam and his girlfriend Emily. But he doesn't seem to understand how hard it is raising a baby because he lives so far away from Emily while he is finishing up high school. He wants Emily and the baby to move into marriage housing at his university's campus so they can all be together. If Emily makes the choice to move in with him after high school, Daniel would probably be able to step up his baby-raising game.
How crazy is everyone? This 16 and Pregnant couple is about as normal as they come (considering they're parents at 16.) Both Emily and Daniel are great students who have friends and family around them, and everyone is supportive and loving. Emily seems to be able to think things through in a mature way when it comes to her and her baby's future. Daniel is a little less responsible, but it's probably only because he hasn't had a fair crack at trying to take care of the baby.

Like Shetland, South Uist has lost almost all of its natural tree cover, so finding the wood at the end of the road was something special. The day is warm and the air has a rich leafy smell, silvery insects hover above a small stream. Its banks, dappled with sunlight, are studded with rocks bearing a dense furry moss and dotted with slender-stemmed, deep-coloured violets. Sharp-leaved ferns spring from a small sheer face where rosettes of primroses stand out brightly from the dark glistening liverworts.
A male blackbird looks up from its foraging, its yellow bill and eye ring the exact colour of the whin flowers which have fallen to the grass. Somewhere, another blackbird is singing and a robin adds its voice. It's a different song that dominates the wood today, though – the sweet string of descending fading notes from a singing willow warbler. We can hear three, possibly four, and it is pure pleasure to stand listening to the competing birds and trying to catch a glimpse of them among the branches. Among the tallest of the trees are the sycamores and pines but there are also strong yet delicate-seeming silver birches, hazels, and smaller, slower growing oaks. One of many rowans borders the path, the sharp scent of its flowers hanging in the air.
Yet until recently the wood at Airidh nam Ban didn't exist. This magical place is the creation of crofter Archie MacDonald and his family, the expression of over 30 years of labour and tree-planting. Earlier trees have their stories – this one given by a friend, those grown from seed by Archie's wife, Angie. On average Archie reckons he plants about a thousand trees a year but recently (and this time with help!) 30,000 young trees were put in. Not all will survive but visiting Airidh nam Ban one can only marvel.

Father of slain Paterson girl calls for justice as Mayor Torres echoes call for safeguards [video]
The father of a 12-year-old girl who was fatally shot while riding her scooter made an angry and tearful plea to city officials Tuesday night as the sounds of a large and emotionally charged rally could be heard outside, where 500 people crowded into the square in front of City Hall, spilling onto nearby streets.
Video: Paterson rally demands justice in killing of 12-year-old
Alexis Rincon, whose daughter Genesis died after being shot Saturday evening in an area known for gun violence, asked for more police on the streets and stricter regulations on late-night businesses, a call echoed by some angry council members and Mayor Joey Torres, who made his first public comments about the matter.
"This town gave me my family," Rincon said during the public portion of a council work session. "I'm going to make a movement so loud, and so big, we going to take our Paterson back."

Torres earlier in the day said the city is considering sweeping anti-crime measures that include additional police, surveillance cameras, and a controversial proposal to impose curfews in the 4th Ward and other high-crime areas. The mayor cried during Tuesday night's meeting when he repeated some of those proposals and seemed to issue a challenge to anyone who might oppose a curfew.
"If the Civil Liberties Union wants to challenge that, I am prepared to defend that ordinance," Torres said, to applause. "We are so sorry for failing to do our part in bringing this call to action without this tragedy."
Hundreds of people gathered for a rally to support the family of Genesis Rincon, who was fatally shot on Rosa Parks Boulevard on Saturday and whose death has galvanized residents and drawn attention to an area blighted by gun violence. City officials and local clergy called for an end to violence and asked residents to help police solve the crime.
"Justice for Genesis," the crowd chanted. Some held candles and signs saying "Stop the Violence" or asking residents to provide information to police.
At least two members of the City Council, Ruby Cotton and Mohammed Akhtaruzzaman, attended Tuesday night's rally. The council later collectively pledged to add $4,000 to a reward for information about the shooting, bringing the total reward to $10,000. Several council members said they would support curfews and ordinances to close businesses early.
"Enough is enough," said Councilman Anthony E. Davis, repeating a refrain that rang out throughout the evening. "We have to take back our streets."
"This is not normal," Council President Julio Tavarez said. "We need to say, 'This does not happen in Paterson anymore.'Ÿ"
At the rally outside, the crowd cheered when a Baptist minister, the Rev. Della Fischer, said that Genesis' organs helped save five lives, including two infants and a 14-year-old boy, who received her heart.
"She's a hero," Fischer said, adding that Genesis would help change the future of the city "because we will not tolerate any more" violence.
Parents attending the rally complained that their children are not safe to play in their own back yards. One of Genesis' cousins, Lina Fernandez, 12, sobbed and said that her cousin would have appreciated the strong showing of emotion.
Steven Austin, 56, whose 38-year-old son Corey Armstead was robbed and killed in January, said he attended to support the girl's family, but added that he doesn't believe rallies produce change. "What happens next?" he asked.
Rep. Bill Pascrell Jr., a Paterson Democrat, says the city's culture needs to change for the violence to stop. He spoke with Genesis' family Monday.
"I'm just crushed by the whole incident," he said. "We need a community response. This goes beyond candle-lit ceremonies."
Torres has not attended any of the rallies since the shooting, although he visited Genesis' family at the hospital on Monday shortly before she was taken off life support. He spoke to The Record in his office Tuesday morning, pledging to address crime by bolstering law enforcement and calling for what is sure to be a controversial curfew proposal.
Torres called it a "criminal hot spot restraining order" that would keep residents of dangerous neighborhoods indoors after dark. The city's legal department is reviewing a proposal for a curfew, Torres said.
"When there is a tragedy like this, to trigger the anger of a community, doing nothing is not an option," Torres said. "The key is not to violate any constitutional rights. But that little girl had rights, too. The good residents of the 4th Ward had rights."
A proposal that targets areas with the most crime — and perhaps the most widespread poverty — would be unlikely to pass a legal challenge, said Ronald Chen, the acting dean of Rutgers Law School in Newark who specializes in constitutional law and civil liberties. He also handles cases for the American Civil Liberties Union. Most curfew laws target juveniles, he said, and even some of them have been struck down.
"It certainly goes far beyond anything I know of being attempted in New Jersey," Chen said of the proposed "hot spot" curfew. "As horrible as this situation is, it's going to be very difficult to sustain that constitutionally."
Paterson officials have discussed imposing a curfew on several occasions over the years, and city voters overwhelmingly approved a non-binding question supporting a curfew in a 2005 referendum when Torres was mayor. His proposal at the time, a curfew that began after midnight, was blocked by the city council.
Meanwhile, the makeshift memorial of candles and teddy bears on Rosa Parks Boulevard near the spot where Genesis was fatally shot continued to be a rallying point for the community, as her parents paid another visit on Tuesday afternoon. "Justice for Genesis" caps sold for $7 to help raise money for funeral expenses. Fischer said that the family was planning to make funeral arrangements late Tuesday night.

A friends dog broke my nose 10 days ago was told by an ENT that part of my nose was shifted a little to one side and I have a dent on one side . What will they do to fix it.
Broken Nose, Shifted With a Dent?
Doctor Answers 2
Closed rhinoplasty
If the base of your nose is shifted to one side then it is likely that if your nose is not corrected it will remain crooked. This can many times be corrected with a closed rhinoplasty. This should be done within the first 2 weeks or the bones may be too solid to be corrected by the closed approach.
Nasal trauma
Displaced nasal fracture usually is treated with closed reduction but this needs to be done within 2-3 weeks after the trauma before the bones set in. You are placed under anesthesia either sedation or general and the fracture is pushed back into position and a splint is placed on the surface for one week with possible packing for a few days.
Alternatively, you can wait and have a formal rhinoplasty done after 6 months once the bone has healed.

Painting The Beach With RAA
Despite the rainy weather, creative spirits hit the beach on Saturday, September 21st, as the Rockaway Artists Alliance hosted an open air "paint out."
Nearly a dozen painters, watercolorists, sketchers and even some photographers came to capture the boardwalk, beach and ocean at Beach 86th Street. One painter even came in from upstate.
A few enterprising artists painted scenes from inside Ripper's concession until the clouds parted and the sun came through.
RAA is looking forward to planning future art outings, possibly also including creative visits to botanical gardens and museums.

Step 10: Adding the text
You'll find the Type tool in the tool palette, marked with a letter 'T'. If you click and hold on the tool button for a few seconds, you'll see a mini-menu open up offering several text options, but the one we want is the default setting, the Horizontal Type tool.
Choose a typeface to use for the message on the front of the card. Personally I like a nice cursive script font for this sort of thing, so I went for one called Monotype Corsiva, which is a standard font from Microsoft Word. There are thousands of free fonts available for download on the Internet, at websites such as 1001 Free Fonts or Highfonts so experiment and find one that suits your subject. A size of 48 points should be big enough for our needs.
Type the first line of your greeting anywhere on the postcard, then click on any of the other tools. Click back on the type tool and add the second line anywhere else. You'll see that the two lines have been added as separate layers, so you can move them around using the Move tool.
Position your text lines above and below the centre elliptical frame. The position doesn't have to be precise, because you can tweak it after adding the text effects.
Step 11: Adding text effects
Activate the layer for the top line of text, and click on the Type tool again. On right of the top bar you'll see a button labelled 'Style' with a drop-down arrow next to it. Click on this to open the style picker, and click on the small button with the arrow to see the full list of style effects.
Select 'Drop Shadows' from the list, and click on the button for Low in the picker window. This adds a shadow effect to your lettering that makes it stand out from the page.
Next to the Style button is a letter T with a curved arrow under it. This is the warped text button, which allows you to add curves and other shaping effects to a line of text. Click on the button, and then select 'Arc' or 'Arc Upper' from the Style drop-down list. The default setting of a 50 percent bent should be sufficient, but feel free to experiment and see what the different settings do.
When you've applied the warp, you can position the text to fit more precisely, and even enlarge or shrink the layer using the Move tool, just as you would with any other layer. When you're happy with the position of the upper line of the greeting, repeat the process with the lower line, but this time select 'Arc Lower' from the text warp list.
Step 12: Flatten and print
When you're happy with the finished postcard, flatten the layers using the 'Flatten Image' option from the 'Layer' menu, and save it as a highest quality JPEG or as a TIFF file. Setting any compression in JPEG mode may cause unwanted and ugly compression artefacts to appear around your lettering.
Once you've done this, you're ready to print your postcard. You'll probably find that standard inkjet photo paper is too thin to make decent postcards, so unless you want to glue the finished product onto some heavier card, you can buy inkjet printer card from any good camera shop or stationers, or buy it direct online from your printer manufacturer. Now send them to your friends and family, who will no doubt be astounded by your resourcefulness and creativity.

Best Of :: Food & Drink
Give and take, back and forth, yin and yang -- Zengo's menu, concept and even its design are structured around the idea of taking something good and pairing it, topping it or mashing it together with something even better. Technically, Zengo bills itself as a Latino-Asian fusion restaurant -- which is strange enough -- but what it really does is take the entire fusion gestalt and push it to its logical conclusion. There's sushi on this menu, but the sushi is a fusion of classical Japanese and nouvelle styles. There are chiles and mother sauces, sesame seeds and hoisin. And each category on the menu -- from the tiraditos, antojitos and dim sum to the noodles, mains and desserts -- is meant for sharing over drinks and good conversation. At its best, Zengo's notion of fusion infuses everything from food to service to seating arrangements. In a crowded field, Zengo is great because it never saw any reason to stop at being just good enough.
The very name "Chocolove" sounds like the title of a bad '70s blaxploitation flick. This chocolate is embarrassing to buy, tough to develop a taste for, and every bar comes wrapped with a love poem that's almost unforgivably cheesy. But still, we've got nothing but love for what's coming off the small-batch production line at this Boulder-based company, which reflects founder Tom Moley's dedication to sourcing the best international cocoa and combining it in surprising ways. It may not have been love at first bite, but it was close -- and now we're committed to Chocolove's dark chocolate and candied ginger bar.
Big John doesn't cook at Elway's. Although this Cherry Creek steakhouse boasts Elway's larger-than-life name over its larger-than-life doors, John isn't flipping your burgers, grilling your steaks, assembling your s'mores or bringing your order to the table. Those tasks fall to the excellent kitchen crew and floor staff overseen by manager extraordinaire Tom Moxcey, who works hard to translate Elway's vision for the masses. And while Elway may sign a few autographs when he stops in for a drink, the real draw here is the food: In a city constantly struggling to slough off its meat-and-potatoes reputation, Elway's has not only returned some value to our classic cowtown image, but it's also made the steakhouse model fun again. Score!
There was a time when the West was a new frontier where anything was possible and everything was for sale. It was a time of risk-taking and big gambles, of catastrophe and payoff. And though venture capitalists have taken the place of cowboys, and captains of industry now live where cattle barons once kept their herds, that Wild West spirit is still alive at Vesta Dipping Grill, where chef Matt Selby keeps showing that any damn fool idea can work, and that sometimes, any damn fool idea will. The "dipping grill" concept (prepared meats and seafoods, served with a choice of thirty or more sauces) was both innovative and brilliant when he and Josh Wolkon launched Vesta a decade ago, and both descriptions still apply. The concept (often copied, almost never well) has been kept fresh by constant tinkering with both menu and preparation, and rewarded by a posse of wildly loyal fans.
Over the past seventy-odd years, few modern influences have slipped into Bonnie Brae Tavern to mess up the place. Since they opened the onetime roadhouse right across the street from the headquarters of the Denver Temperance League in 1934, members of the Dire family may have slapped on a few coats of paint and changed some menu items, but otherwise they've left well enough alone. And so today the restaurant is like a culinary time capsule under the submarine glow of lights that have been shining down on the same tables and turquoise vinyl booths, the same beer signs and aging regulars, for generations. The food is American Classic -- pot roasts and T-bones, mac-and-cheese and burgers and fries -- but with a twist: Bonnie Brae was one of the first spots in town to offer pizza, back when the dish was still an exotic novelty rather than a trite American mainstay. Don't mess with success.
"New American" has come to mean many things. The words are applied to cuisines as varied as the obsessive food geekery of Thomas Keller at the French Laundry, the chem-lab weirdness of molecular gastronomy, and the burgers-and-beer rosters of a thousand neighborhood taverns daring enough to use leaf lettuce rather than iceberg. But what New American really means is a menu written by a chef informed by all of this but not constrained by it; a chef who understands the influences of French and Asian and Mexican and Italian immigrant flavors on American cookery, but is not limited by canonical recitation. New American means America as it is today, not yesterday, not tomorrow. And in Denver, the best definition of New American is offered by Tyler Wiard at Mel's. His ever-changing menu is a season-by-season accounting of what America tastes like and America's tastes.

Why does he bite?!!?
We have owned Mojo for two years, got him when he was 8 weeks old. Our oldest cat Leia took care of him like he was her own. He is fixed, but viciously bites her daily! Our other cat Destiny does not get bit, she hisses at him and he backs away. He does this to us too, we pick him up and he will purr, but will then bite, viciously! He has tons of toys, he is never bored. He never bites the vets when he sees them. Why does he bite Leia and us, not Destiny?

- This question is closed.
Best Answer
It's about dominance. Mojo is reaching social maturity, a time when cats establish their place in the cat hierarchy. Mojo knows his place with Destiny - she gives him what for to tell him that she is top cat and won't put up with his nonsense. Since Mojo can't boss Destiny around, he turns it on Leia, who must be more submissive and doesn't stand up to Mojo. Make sure you have plenty of different levels (cat trees, book shelves, window perches, whatever) and safe places for Leia to go to stay out of Mojo's path. Mojo may grow out of this behavior, or it may continue, but he most likely won't hurt Leia. He may just be grabbing her by the neck, which may seem vicious. If he's drawing blood, that's another matter, and you'll have to intervene with a water pistol or throwing a pillow at him.
Monster answered on Dec 7th.
Other Answers
Have a think aqbout when Mojo is biting you, sometimes, you can be clapping a kitty, hes purring all is well and then what seems like out of nowhere he launches into a biting frenzy, but usually, there are more than a few signs or warnings before he launches an attack, if he bites while you are holding or petting, look for a change in his body language....his tail will twitch a bit, ears may flatten or move backwards, he may be flinching away, turning his head sideways also watch his whiskers, a happy relaxed kitties whiskers are floppy forward facing an angry or fearful cats whiskers will fold back onto his face. So stop petting or holding him when you see one or more of these signs, as for him attacking your other kitty,cats playing, look alot like cats being aggressive, if there is no hissing, or aggressive body language its likely hes just trying to insight some play , or wrestling, my two boys seem to get into pretty viscous play fights but they are usually silent and break quick

Why should you adopt?
Dog adoption and cat adoption saves lives. Adopt a dog or adopt a cat and you'll have a friend for life! What is the difference between adopting a dog or puppy versus getting dogs for sale or puppies for sale from a dog breeder? When someone is breeding puppies, they are creating new dogs who need homes. Some people are interested in a very specific breed of dog or puppy and they think the only way to find that specific breed is to buy a dog for sale from a puppy breeder. Yet animal shelters are filled with dogs who must find homes. So rather than buying a dog or puppy for sale from a dog breeder, we encourage people to adopt a dog or adopt a puppy at their local animal shelter, SPCA, humane society or pet rescue group.

TCU Men Host SMU Wednesday
Nov. 12, 2013
FORT WORTH, Texas – The TCU men's swimming and diving team hosts SMU on Wednesday, Nov. 13 in dual meet action. The meet is set to begin at 6 p.m. in the TCU Recreation Center Natatorium.
The Horned Frog men are 0-1 on the season after falling to North Carolina, 109-188, in dual meet action on Oct. 19. Sophomore Adam Szilagyi picked up the first event title of the season for TCU against the Tarheels, winning the 100-yard backstroke (48.90) while reigning Big 12 200-yard backstroke champion continued his dominance in the event with a 1:46.19 first-place finish.
A trio of Horned Frogs – senior Ryan Wilcox, sophomore Corey Nix and freshman Garrett Hills – represented TCU at the Fastest Man in Texas Shootout in San Antonio last Saturday. All three swam two 50-yard freestyles recording personal-bests. Wilcox had a 21.26, Nix posted a 21.12 and Hills touched the wall at 21.31. Olympic gold medalist Nathan Adrian won the meet with a 18.79.
The last meeting between the cross-town rivals–on Nov. 7, 2012 at Perkins Natatorium–was one of the most competitive dual meets in TCU history. Down, 124-140 headed into the final two events, TCU's Harrison Bui (1:55.48), Luiz Azarias (1:55.84) and Cooper Robinson (1:55.89) swept the top three spots in the 200 IM to pull the Horned Frogs within four, 140-144. SMU sealed the win in the final event, with its top 400 freestyle relay touching the wall 0.86 seconds before the Horned Frogs top team.
Wednesday's competition marks the 2013-14 season opener for the Mustangs, who return two All-Americans, nine All-Conference USA selections and 23 letter winners from last season.
Following Wednesday's meet, the TCU men and women's swimming and diving teams will travel to College Station, Texas to compete in the three-day Aggie Invitational beginning on Nov. 21.

Looking for a simple GPS that will give you accurate yardage to the center, front, and back of the green as well as important hazards? If so, I would definitely check out the new Bushnell NEO Plus GPS unit. The NEO plus is the smallest and most compact GPS unit on the market and it provides quick yardages to your intended target. Unlike many GPS units in it's class, the NEO plus comes preloaded with over 16,000 North American courses. No membership fees are necessary and the unit is ready to use straight out of the box. Due to it's ease of use, size, and affordability, I think the Bushnell NEO Plus GPS unit would make a great gift for the golfer that has it all this holiday season.

CHICAGO -- Cubs catcher Geovany Soto showed his toughness and power, all in one day.
Soto withstood a collision at the plate to prevent a run from scoring, then hit a tiebreaking homer in the eighth inning to lift Chicago over the Houston Astros 5-4 on Monday.
Soto slammed a two-out solo shot off reliever Wilton Lopez (5-2) to snap a 4-all tie and cap Chicago's comeback. Four innings earlier, he was flattened at the plate by a charging Michael Bourn but held onto the ball and made the tag.
"How about that?" Cubs interim manager Mike Quade said. "To take one in the face on a play at the plate and then do that. He's a lot tougher than people know. Obviously he had a great day.
"He's getting back to where he was his rookie year."
Soto, hitting .284 with 17 home runs, said he wasn't necessarily thinking about hitting a home run when he stepped into the box in the eighth at windy Wrigley Field.
"I just wanted to make solid contact, maybe an extra-base hit," Soto said. "I got a pretty good pitch and I put good wood on it."
Marlon Byrd hit a two-run homer and Chicago got a useful outing from starting pitcher Casey Coleman, who lasted six innings. Coleman gave up eight hits and four runs -- all in the second.
"That was about as hard as you can battle to keep in that thing," Quade said. "He made a bunch of pitches [117] in a short period of time and gave us a chance."
Cubs reliever Andrew Cashner (2-5) pitched a perfect eighth for the win. Carlos Marmol handled the ninth and earned his career-high 28th save.
Houston starter Wandy Rodriguez went seven innings, allowing four runs and eight hits while striking out six.
"I threw the ball well," he said. "I wanted to throw the eighth inning but [manager Brad Mills] said, 'No. I want somebody to hit for you.' I felt strong today ... [and] tried to keep my pitches down. I tried to keep the ball down the whole game because I saw the wind was blowing hard."
The Cubs trailed 4-0 after 1½ innings but got three runs back in the third on Blake DeWitt's RBI single and a two-run homer by Byrd. They tied it in the fifth when Jeff Baker lined a double down the left-field line to score Darwin Barney, who singled.
The Astros batted around in the second, starting with Chris Johnson's leadoff homer. He lined Coleman's 1-1 pitch deep into the left-field bleachers for his seventh of the season.
Matt Downs walked, Jason Castro singled and the runners advanced to second and third following an error by Cubs outfielder Alfonso Soriano. Downs scored on a wild pitch.
Back-to-back singles from Jeff Keppinger and Hunter Pence brought home Castro and Bourn, who reached when he was hit by a pitch.
The Cubs scored three in the third, with the big blow coming on Byrd's two-out homer that also scored DeWitt. It was his first home run since Aug. 11 and his 12th overall.
"I don't know how he hit it because the ball was inside," Rodriguez said.
The victory was the Cubs' fourth in five games. The Astros, meanwhile, came in with five wins in their last six games and still have an 8-5 edge over Chicago in the season series.
A strained right quadriceps kept Cubs 3B Aramis Ramirez out of the lineup. "They're going to look at him later today. It's a day-to-day type of thing," Quade said. ... Also out was rookie SS Starlin Castro, benched by Quade after he made a mistake in the seventh inning of Sunday's 18-5 loss to the Mets. Castro lost track of the number of outs and failed to run out a grounder that ended up a double play.

A 17 year old student was crushed by a speeding truck on September 14th, 2010. The incident occurred near "Lucknow", Uttar Pradesh (India). The name of the student is reported as "Sushil Kumar" and was a student of "Satya Narain Inter College". After the accident, a violent mob attacked a dozen of vehicles outside the police station and injured about 10 policemen. The protestors wanted the arrest of truck driver who managed to escape after the accident.
The World Health Organization (WHO) in its first Global Status Report on Road Safety revealed that in India about 130,000 road accident deaths occurs every year. In India the death toll rose to 14 per hour in 2009 and is still supposed to be increasing.
The most amazing fact about such accidents is that the accused often gets acquitted even after killing dozens of people. What is the reason behind this? The answer lies in the loose legal frame work which covers such accidents.
In India section 304A IPC provides punishment for death by negligence. According to Section 304A IPC:
- Causing death by negligence
"Whoever causes the death of any person by doing any rash or negligent act not amounting to culpable homicide, shall be punished with imprisonment of either description for a term which may extend to two years, or with fine, or with both."
According to the Supreme Court of India, this section is applicable when the death is caused due to rash and negligent act of the accused and is an essential ingredient to attract the said section. In short this section comes into play when neither the intention nor the knowledge to cause death is present. In order to invoke section 304A, the death must be caused by a rash and negligent act and the death must be the direct result of the rash and negligent act. Further in case of road accidents, only grave negligence will render a person liable under section 304A.
Again section 279 IPC provides punishment for rash and negligent driving. According to section 279IPC:
- Rash driving or riding on a public way
"Whoever drives any vehicle, or rides, on any public way in a manner so rash or negligent as to endanger human life, or to be likely to cause hurt or injury to any other person, shall be punished with imprisonment of either description for a term which may extend to six months, or with fine which may extend to one thousand rupees, or with both".
The Motor Vehicle Act 1988 and the Rules of Road Regulations 1989 further provides a number of comprehensive provisions which regulate various aspects of motor vehicles and also provides a list of offences and penalties relating to motor vehicles. Rough /rash/negligent driving is punishable with fine upto Rs 1000/- and/or imprisonment upto six months under section 184 of MV Act 1988. Exceeding the prescribed speed limit is also punishable with fine upto Rs 1000/- under sections 112-183 of the MV Act 1988.
However the most controversial legal provision in this regard is section 304A of IPC. Section 304 A was inserted in IPC by the amendment Act of 1870. Some intellects are of the opinion that section 304A is in fact a "license to kill". If someone kills a person in a road accident and it cannot be proved that the accused was driving rashly and negligently, then the accused cannot be punished under this section and the only issue which remains is the compensation payable to the victim's family.
Moreover the offence under section 304 A is a bailable offence and the accused in most of the cases thereby gets immediate release on bail even after committing such heinous crime. The minor offenders below 18 years of age are tried under Juvenile Justice Act which is reformative in nature. The punishment prescribed by section 304A is also very negligible.
According to an eminent advocate Mr. P.P.Hegde, section 304 was amended in 1870 by the Britishers to support the British offenders and facilitate their escape in the name of law even after committing such serious crimes. But unfortunately we are still sticking to this outdated law.
However majority of the advocates and intellects are now of the opinion that section 304A should be amended and made victim friendly. In case of minor offenders the age for conviction should be reduced and the parents or RC owners should be made vicariously liable for the act of the minor. The punishments should be enhanced as the section presently prescribes a negligible punishment.
This article makes me:

Jane Easton (Palmer) Bodell, 95, of Bristol
Jane Easton (Palmer) Bodell, 95, a lifelong resident of Bristol passed away on January 29th at St. Elizabeth Manor.
Born in Bristol, she was the daughter of the late John S. Palmer II and Abbie Greene Palmer. She was the mother of Frances Bodell of Milbridge Maine and of the late Frederick Palmer Bodell; the grandmother of Stephen F. Bodell, Scott P. Bodell and Philip T. Bodell and the great grandmother of eight. She was the sister of Richard S. Palmer of Newport and of the late Julius Palmer, Betty Palmer Adams, Frances Palmer Clark and Ruth Palmer Blount.
Jane's interest in genealogy led her to keep track of previous generations and ultimately to join the Mayflower Society. Her other interests included gardening, painting, sailing and birding. She enjoyed walking and being outside and was better than most meteorologists at predicting the weather from the wind, moon and tides. A talent she kept well into her 90's and taught those around her.
She loved to swim in Narragansett Bay and did so into her eighties. Ballroom dancing and big bands were a passion and later the music of Elvis Presley. Whether it was picnics on the beach, building snowmen or croquet, Jane joined in with the gang no matter her age. She loved reading mysteries which she secured from the Rogers Free Library.
Jane was involved in church activities throughout her 50 plus year association as a communicant of the First Congregational Church of Bristol.
A kindergarten teacher, she loved teaching and being with children. She cherished her own children, grand and great grandchildren and loved being with them. She delighted in reading them classic children's stories. She loved Christmas and all it meant and worked to bring the magic of it all to life.
Jane will be remembered fondly for her sense of humor that stayed with her even through the ravages of dementia. She fought to keep her personality and it would shine through the tangles of her disease and delight us all.
Jane had many friends of all ages with whom she enjoyed happy times.
Her funeral services were officiated by Rev. Daniel Randall in the First Congregational Church of Bristol on February 2nd. Burial was private. Serving as pallbearers were Stephen Bodell, Scott Bodell, Philip Bodell, Connor Bodell, Sean Bodell, Andrew Bodell and Devin Bodell.
In lieu of flowers, memorial donations may be made to Rogers Free Library, PO Box 358 Bristol RI 02809 or the United Congregational Church of Bristol 281 High St Bristol RI 02809.
Arrangements are by the George Lima Funeral Home.

The Moonstone HTML version
One on the top of the other the rest of the company followed the Ablewhites, till
we had the whole tale of them complete. Including the family, they were twenty-
four in all. It was a noble sight to see, when they were settled in their places
round the dinner-table, and the Rector of Frizinghall (with beautiful elocution)
rose and said grace.
There is no need to worry you with a list of the guests. You will meet none of
them a second time--in my part of the story, at any rate--with the exception of
Those two sat on either side of Miss Rachel, who, as queen of the day, was
naturally the great attraction of the party. On this occasion she was more
particularly the centre-point towards which everybody's eyes were directed; for
(to my lady's secret annoyance) she wore her wonderful birthday present, which
eclipsed all the rest--the Moonstone. It was without any setting when it had been
placed in her hands; but that universal genius, Mr. Franklin, had contrived, with
the help of his neat fingers and a little bit of silver wire, to fix it as a brooch in the
bosom of her white dress. Everybody wondered at the prodigious size and
beauty of the Diamond, as a matter of course. But the only two of the company
who said anything out of the common way about it were those two guests I have
mentioned, who sat by Miss Rachel on her right hand and her left.
The guest on her left was Mr. Candy, our doctor at Frizinghall.
This was a pleasant, companionable little man, with the drawback, however, I
must own, of being too fond, in season and out of season, of his joke, and of his
plunging in rather a headlong manner into talk with strangers, without waiting to
feel his way first. In society he was constantly making mistakes, and setting
people unintentionally by the ears together. In his medical practice he was a
more prudent man; picking up his discretion (as his enemies said) by a kind of
instinct, and proving to be generally right where more carefully conducted doctors
turned out to be wrong.
What HE said about the Diamond to Miss Rachel was said, as usual, by way of a
mystification or joke. He gravely entreated her (in the interests of science) to let
him take it home and burn it. "We will first heat it, Miss Rachel," says the doctor,
"to such and such a degree; then we will expose it to a current of air; and, little by
little--puff!--we evaporate the Diamond, and spare you a world of anxiety about
the safe keeping of a valuable precious stone!" My lady, listening with rather a
careworn expression on her face, seemed to wish that the doctor had been in
earnest, and that he could have found Miss Rachel zealous enough in the cause
of science to sacrifice her birthday gift.
The other guest, who sat on my young lady's right hand, was an eminent public
character--being no other than the celebrated Indian traveller, Mr. Murthwaite,
who, at risk of his life, had penetrated in disguise where no European had ever
set foot before.

Use, abuse and discard
Use, abuse and discard
Veterans, almost a sacred term denoting service, sacrifice and duty ... an easy term to cavalierly use and abuse. We often use them politically to show our "patriotism" by recognizing their heroism and sacrifice. Not to put too fine a point on it, but we all know that not all of them were heroic, nor did all of them do it, primarily, out of a sense of duty to the country.
I am not denigrating that, only pointing out a reality. We usually use the heroic image for some political purpose, to justify military action and war (whether or not it was good policy), to support more money for the military budget (mostly going directly into corporate pockets), or to deflect from some other political issue we would rather not deal with.
We abuse those ordinary military personnel with low pay ... often with high risk ... with repeated tours of duty and with the effects of combat. To understand this I would suggest a book by a war correspondent, Chris Hedges, "War is a Force That Gives Us Meaning," which documents the psychological effects of combat.
Then, after they have served our political purposes, we discard them to the grim realities of the current job market, to deal with their psychological and adjustment issues pretty much on their own, to homelessness and life on the streets and often to suicide.
We bring them in as healthy human beings, abuse them psychologically with combat and then discard them, often with the physical and psychological damage that combat carries with it. We subjected them to a traumatic reality and they are entitled to our continued care and commitment with realprograms that actually help them.
If we damaged them we are obligated to help with their healing and recovery.
