A deadly Halloween night in Vancouver, where 25-year-old man was killed in a stabbing incident outside the Plaza of Nations.
Sergeant Brian Montague with the Vancouver Police Department says two other people are in hospital, one in serious condition and one in stable condition, after the incident which took place around 2:30 a.m. last night.
"Two of them went to hospital with extremely serious critical stab wounds. Another went to hospital with less serious injuries. One of those men has now died," he said.
Appears stabbings took place near the taxi area outside plaza of nations. @CKNW #vpd— Niamh (@NiamhAnderson) November 1, 2016
Plaza of Nations stabbings: It is not known whether victims were in costume or not #vpd @cknw— Niamh (@NiamhAnderson) November 1, 2016
Montague says police are now trying to unravel what happened, and that multiple people are being questioned.
"It appears as though the stabbing involved two groups of people. We're not sure at this point whether they came from the same location, different locations. We don't have a lot of information on their backgrounds at this point. It doesn't appear random, it does appear as though there was an altercation of some sort. We took a number of people into custody, some of them suspects, some of them witnesses," Montague says.
Right now, six people are in custody, and "are being fairly uncooperative."
The identity of the man who died has not been released.

Kristen & Sean | January 11th | Devil's Thumb Ranch
From the bride: Winter Park has been a family vacation spot for years now, and Sean proposed to me there one year before our wedding. The two of us met in Houston after both having lived all over Texas, and we wanted to share a special place and the beauty of a Rocky Mountain winter with our Texan friends and family.
Initially, we were mostly attracted to rustic wedding trends (wood carvings, antiques, simple cake style) but we wanted to incorporate some of the strong colors and metallics featured in our home. Our main focus was to highlight the beauty of the Rocky Mountains.
I love paper products and had lots of input in the form of amateur sketches of our wedding invitations that a professional artist brought to life.
There was also a fair amount of whimsy in our faux fur stoles (a little Game of Thrones-esque) and in the forest animals featured on our wedding invitations and in golden figurines scattered amongst the décor.
Sean and I stood in front of open barn doors allowing the beauty of the mountains beyond the altar serve as the backdrop for the ceremony.
We crafted our ceremony to include both goofy and touching readings from our best friends, and the vows we wrote to one another ended up wringing out tears from many in the crowd but especially from each other. Our music choices were especially important as they were all songs reminiscent of other important moments in our lives and relived in the happy context of our wedding.
My dad salvaged two old windows from a cabin near Yellowstone that has been in our family for generations and spent all summer prior to our wedding collecting and pressing Idaho flowers to place in the windowpanes. We then used glass markers to make these into the seating chart. This was my favorite detail.
For the reception, we wanted a soft, intimate ambiance. The roaring fireplace, candles, and twinkling aspen trees were exactly the lighting that created this feel.
The lit aspen trees surrounding the pillars inside the barn were cut from my parents' yard in Denver.
For favors, we gave out chocolate and caramel covered apples from Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory. A yummy choice for the end of the night!
The flowers were delicate and flawlessly arranged to intermingle with worn, gilded collectibles such as trumpets and miniature animals.
My advice: Definitely hire a wedding planner if you live at a distance – their advice from having worked for years in that city can save you a ton in time, energy, and money. They already know which vendors are awesome, what the weather will realistically be like, and how to troubleshoot that venue if they've worked it many times before.
Kristen's RECOMMENDED VENDORS
Luxe Moutain Venue, Caterer & Cake, Lodging: DEVIL'S THUMB RANCH {more info}. A breathtaking view, indulgent food, friendly and gracious staff, and luxurious appointments.
Photographer: Brinton Studios. I would absolutely recommend CR and Tiffany Brinton – they were efficient, accommodating, unobtrusive, and produced really great results even though both Sean and I are not very comfortable in front of a camera.
Event Design & Planning, Flowers: Stacy Pisani of Alexan Events. I would absolutely recommend this group – gorgeous décor ideas, realistic options for a range of budgets, and the staff are all very friendly and readily available via email/work phone/cell phone. They kept Sean and I on task when it came to making decisions according to a timeline throughout the many months of planning, and on the day of the wedding they arrived early and were calm and organized the entire time. If there were any little snafus taking place, I wasn't aware of them.
Invitations: Shhh My Darling // Officiant: Father Frank Gold // Guitarist: Rob Drabkin // Photo Booth: Yaggi Photography // DJ: JAMMIN' DJs // Wedding Gown Designer: Marisa // Bridesmaid Dresses: Love Lane // Hair: Lisa Raymond // Makeup: Victoria Renee // Groom's Suit: Hugo Boss from Nordstrom // Groomsmen: Blue suits from Men's Wearhouse
Honeymoon Location: Hotel Chocolat in St. Lucia

Green Buildings
In a bid to knit sustainability into large-scale community development, Seattle's Capitol Hill EcoDistrict is exploring several avenues toward greener land use.
ASLA The Dirt
A U.S.EPA list ranks the cities leading the nation with the most energy efficient commercial buildings.
The French Parliament has approved legislation requiring commercial buildings to partially cover their rooftops in either plants or solar panels.
Alan G. Brake writes an editorial calling on the architecture and urbanism fields to push even further to reduce carbon emissions by designing (and upgrading) efficient buildings.
The Architect's Newspaper
More and more energy efficient buildings are coming online, but buildings are still a major source of energy use around the world. To track green building, the EPA recently ranked the cities with the most Energy Star buildings.
United States Environmental Protection Agency
Perkins + Will, the architecture firm behind a new residence hall at Bridgewater State University, have attached an unusual provision to their green design: no mini-fridges or personal microwaves allowed.
Green buildings "make business sense," says Jane Hanley, World Green Building Council CEO.

LEED-certified buildings may be constructed with little energy, but some are just as energy-intensive as non "green" buildings once they're in use. This disconnect is prompting the U.S. Green Building Council to change its rules.

Dinner for Schmucks
Imagine trapping Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie in a room with Jennifer Aniston and her baby-daddy hopeful of the month. Add a little vino to the occasion and no doubt Jolie would go all Tomb Raider on Anistons ass while the boys sit back and watch the girl-on-girl action.
Granted, the protagonists of French playwright Yasmina Rezas Life X 3 are mild-mannered astrophysicists, not overdramatic and overpaid actors, but youll still see fireworks when two couples collide in three different versions of one evening in Theatre Artists Studios production, on stage through October 30.
The show opens with renowned scientist Henri and his wife Sonia struggling with their angsty 6-year-old. When co-worker Hubert and his partner Inez arrive at the couples Parisian flat a day early for a dinner party, the proverbial merde hits the fan.

The Misinterpretations
Wow. The more I look into the over-view of public school, the more I realize how much people discriminate. Sure, one of my good friends is black, but that doesn't mean he is loved by everyone. He gets pushed around, cussed out, and beat up like people still do in Downtown for being who they are. Sad, if you ask me, that pre-teens are as judgmental as to cuss out someone their own age for being something they can't change. I, personally, don't like the way this generation is being brought up. I would love to change it, however, I am no parent. So, here's a shout out to all those people who flip people off in their mind because they wear their hat backwards: Grow up. Learn.

But the only tactic that is painfully over-used this year is mockery of those in the audience from other countries (and Birmingham). Indeed, I'd prefer to hear less about the audience in general. It's always impressive to see a comic spin off jokes from the clothes of someone foolish enough to sit in the front row. Several comedians, such as Al Murray and Ross Noble, have turned this into an art form. But often, as with the charmingly rumpled Andy Robinson (Pleasance), the badinage can make the show seem like one long warm-up routine before the arrival of the star attraction. After an hour of watching Jason Byrne (Pleasance) trying on people's coats, chasing anyone who goes to the toilet and generally proving how stultifyingly predictable some so-called unpredictable comedy can be, you grow to appreciate shows that are conceived, written and polished well before the audience shuffles into the theatre.
Terry Alderton (Assembly), for instance, constructs a rounded revue from cleverly deployed impersonations (he did one of four Chewbacca impressions I've seen this month), agile physical comedy (Londoners, he insists, can't talk without robotic body-popping) and carefully timed lighting changes and music. He is a mainstream, working-men's-club entertainer - and this accounts for the best and worst attributes of his act. On the plus side, he is one of the hardest-working comics on the Fringe. The downside to his being so ripe for Des O'Connor is that he has no qualms about using old jokes and older stereotypes. It's not yet clear whether Alderton is just Jim Davidson with talent. What is clear is that from now on his rise will be swift and unstoppable.
As an antidote to some of Alderton's cornier material, see Omid Djalili (Pleasance) - currently most famous for being eaten alive by beetles in The Mummy. His show, a "Middle Eastern ceilidh", is an educational insight into Persian culture. It's also tremendous fun - if not always tremendously funny. Djalili doesn't come across as a comedian as such, but as an actor and impressionist who reminisces amusingly about his boyhood as an Iranian Londoner and his adulthood as "king of the ethnic bit-parts".
Djalili's show would be considerably poorer without his sidekick, who plays some wonderful music on an instrument that's a cross between a zither and a canoe. Sean Cullen (Pleasance) was similarly astute in his choice of partner: he has found someone who can contribute sensitive acoustic guitar accompaniment - and can dress up as Darth Maul when the occasion arises. And with Cullen, you can bet the occasion will arise. A rambling surrealist in the Eddie Izzard vein, he has the benign, gentle coaxing manner of a priest on Thought for the Day. It's just that his thoughts happen to be about chimpanzees and having a fight with the pope.
His worm-in-a-bow-tie outfit would win him the award for Best Costume if it weren't for Marcus Brigstocke (Gilded Balloon), who is transformed for one sketch into a streetwise baby on his mother's back. Brigstocke's show is a series of vignettes about therapy and New Age psychobabble. Populated by counsellors, patients and the no-holds-barred feng shui champion, the show is nicely observed and well acted, but it falls into the trap of any comedy about fads: the material can seem obvious and dated even before it's written. Still, the costumes are worth the ticket fee. To dress up as a mountain-top guru is one thing, but to dress up as the mountain as well is something else.
A final point about theatrical shows, as opposed to improvised stand- up, is that they have the potential to go disastrously, embarrassingly, chaotically wrong. This is what happens to Count Arthur Strong and Terry Titter (Gilded Balloon), two scabrous, dipsomaniac light entertainment has-beens who deliver a lecture on showbiz; and to The Arthur Dung Show (Gilded Balloon), a "very serious, issue-based piece of theatre". You guessed it - in both cases the disasters are deliberate. That they are still so enjoyable is a tribute to the skill, discipline and disturbingly convincing characterisations of the performers. Neither show contains any reference to Star Wars.

What Will Happen If Trump Does Not Concede?
The media is in an uproar that Trump many not concede the election if he suspect fraud. But why should he? if the election is fraudulent, he has the moral obligation to contest it.
The idea that Trump supporters will "chimp out" and start riots is ludicrous. But Trump not conceding will give many Americans the "permission slip" to consider other options than maintaining the Union. If Trump does not concede, I believe that this will be the start of the breakup of the American Empire.
4 comments:
The Nixon/Kennedy election of 1960 was probably rigged in favor of Kennedy but Nixon ignored advice to contest it. Kennedy was elected on the absolute thinnest of margins to be elected President. It was not a landslide for Kennedy by any means.ReplyDelete
If Donald Trump refuses to concede it will undermine Hillary's so-called mandate to be President. There will always be that suspicion that DJT was right when she starts to fuckup royally which will probably not be long after her coronation. NO CONCESSION AND NO APOLOGIES EVER!

Corsets. Corsets are wonderful, but in most shops tend to fall into similar problems- identical designs using cheap boning and bad lacing,with no whimsy to them at all. Not here. The corsets are adorable and well made, and are going to make everyone gasp in amazement. This Sailor corset is a perfect example- that collar is part of the corset and the entire thing is a wonderful outfit.

text: Ashoka U Commons Program Overview Program Coaches Logistics Benefits FAQ Apply Subscribe The Commons is a semester-long engagement (just over 3 months) in which cohorts of individuals work together to address the shared challenges of building social innovation education at their institutions. Experienced Coaches from Ashoka U's community guide and support participants in developing and advancing specific objectives in each of our six Cohorts. Each cohort has a guiding theme, with up to six institutions participating in each. Our six current cohort offerings are: Making the Case for Changemaking Education Creating a Social Innovation Course Building a Social Innovation Course Sequence Launching Co-Curricular Venture Programs Mapping Student Learning Journeys Building Allies and Raising Awareness All of the cohorts will guide participants through a learning journey of six modules, summarized below: Module 1: Align understanding of social innovation and changemaking Ashoka U and the cohort's Coach host a launch call with the full cohort to ensure participants start on the same page, expectations are set clearly, and to formally kick off the Commons experience. Module 2: Surveying the field Participants are paired with another institution to review examples of best practices in the cohort's thematic area, practice evaluation of additional examples, and apply their learnings to peer institutions. Module 3: Objective setting After a focus on field- and institution-level trends in social innovation education, participants use an ecosystem mapping exercise to build a stronger sense of the strengths and limitations of their institution's current social innovation ecosystem. Participants work one-on-one with their Coach to set defined objectives for the remainder of their Commons experience. Module 4: Advancing your objectives Based on the objectives established in the previous module, participants spend time working individually on their project, bringing in additional stakeholders and Ashoka U community members as needed. Module 5: Review and refine the output Participants are paired with a peer in their cohort to share progress and provide constructive feedback before the final module of the Commons. Module 6: Present the output The Commons closes with a group conference call where each institution presents their projects/plans, receiving feedback from both their Coach and peer participants. Presentations will include opportunities and areas for continued support from the participant's Cohort members and Ashoka U. Cohort Descriptions Making the Case for Social Innovation Colleges and universities are training the next generation of leaders, and we need those leaders to be changemakers in order to help solve the problems of today and tomorrow. Even if social innovation programming does not yet exist on campus, or is just getting started, you will need to develop a vision and plan for how to gain support for a broader changemaking initiative. By reframing the university as an ecosystem this cohort will require participants to consider all of the stakeholders and how they can contribute. Creating a Social Innovation Course In some cases the most direct way to reach students with social innovation learning opportunities is through a registered course. Courses allow students to engage with the subject irrespective of their capacity to participate in co-curricular (or extracurricular) programming, and in a familiar format. Participants will reference diverse examples of existing courses and draw on modular course structures to build a syllabus that is committee-ready. Building a Social Innovation Course Sequence Course sequences allow students to gain deeper experience in the many different facets of social innovation, build student identity, and can further legitimize the subject's academic merit at an institution. Before building, institutions must consider the pros and cons of different forms such as certificates, concentrations, majors, and minors. Due to the typically long timeline for developing a course sequence, this cohort focuses on sharing ideas with peers and creating a thoughtful plan for the desired effect at the institution and elements of the course sequence itself. Launching Co-Curricular Venture Programs Incubators, accelerators, and other forms of venture support come alongside students to help them take ideas to reality, often removing barriers along the way.They have the potential to increase student success, align student projects with social challenges, and teach valuable lessons in the event of failure. This cohort will cover details such as where to house these programs, how to frame their purpose, and support developing program objectives. Mapping Student Learning Journeys There's another step required after social innovation programs and curriculum are created, and that is making them known to students. Even better, though, is if it's clear how participating in that offering fits on their path towards becoming a changemaker. This cohort zooms out to look at offerings across campus in aggregate, and dig in to the best ways to communicate potential learning journeys to students. Building Allies and Raising Awareness Developing a critical mass of social innovators in one or two departments is a natural place to start, but in order to truly embed social innovation and changemaking ideas into the institution the team must be campus-wide.The process to make that leap, however, usually involves quite a bit of work.This cohort looks at different structures for campus-wide teams, and guides participants in making a plan for their own as well as starting to build it.

Dependent data arise in many studies. Frequently adopted sampling designs, such as cluster, multilevel, spatial, and repeated measures, may induce this dependence, which the analysis of the data needs to take into due account. In a previous publication (Geraci and Bottai in Biostatistics 8:140–154, 2007), we proposed a conditional quantile regression model for continuous responses where subject-specific random intercepts were included to account for within-subject dependence in the context of longitudinal data analysis. The approach hinged upon the link existing between the minimization of weighted absolute deviations, typically used in quantile regression, and the maximization of a Laplace likelihood. Here, we consider an extension of those models to more complex dependence structures in the data, which are modeled by including multiple random effects in the linear conditional quantile functions. We also discuss estimation strategies to reduce the computational burden and inefficiency associated with the Monte Carlo EM algorithm we have proposed previously. In particular, the estimation of the fixed regression coefficients and of the random effects' covariance matrix is based on a combination of Gaussian quadrature approximations and non-smooth optimization algorithms. Finally, a simulation study and a number of applications of our models are presented.

Anybody watching?
Howard Stern is a great judge.
I never watched it before this season. I only watched it because of the buzz around Stern. I agree 100% Howard is a great judge!
i'll watch it next week just to see how howard stern does. i missed the first episode of this season.
I watched it but don't like Stern even a little bit.
Its refreshing to have an honest quick witted judge compared to those 3 numbskulls at American Idol who think everyone deserves a ribbon.

Talk:Discrete uniform distribution
|Discrete uniform distribution has been listed as a level-4 vital article in Mathematics. If you can improve it, please do. This article has been rated as Start-Class.
|WikiProject Statistics
|(Rated Start-class, Top-importance)
EDITORS! Please see Wikipedia:WikiProject Probability#Standards for a discussion of standards used for probability distribution articles such as this one.
--- — Preceding unsigned comment added by MLópez-Ibáñez (talk • contribs) 13:39, 10 October 2012 (UTC)
There's quite a lot in this article that I would not buy into. The restriction that parameters and points of support be integers is not necessary. Rather, n equally likely events can be inscribed into any interval, and the formula n=b-a+1 then no longer holds.
Also, the statement that "The convention is used that the cumulative mass function Fk(ki) is the probability that k > = ki" seems mistaken, the correct version being "The convention is used that the cumulative mass function Fk(ki) is the probability that k < = ki". —Preceding unsigned comment added by 18.104.22.168 (talk) 05:37, 11 March 2006 (UTC)
Could someone explain to me if in the graph the lines should be dotted or not? (KMF) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 188.8.131.52 (talk) 23:31, 28 May 2006 (UTC)
Can anyone expand on "compare above"? What was the point being made? Melcombe (talk) 17:00, 19 February 2009 (UTC)
Mean and Variance[edit]
Shouldn't both of these be the sum of ni/n, (that is, the sum of the point values divided by the number of points)? (a+b)/2 only works if you have a discrete uniform distribution with only two points. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Beefpelican (talk • contribs) 14:33, 16 November 2009 (UTC)
Also unclear[edit]
Note the paragraph at top which reads: "In case the values of a random variable with a discrete uniform distribution are real, it is possible to express the cumulative distribution function in terms of the degenerate distribution; thus"
1) I believe I know what it's trying to say, but it's wildly ambiguous. A simple syntactic rewrite would make this much clearer, as in "When a random variable has discrete values which are not integers..."
2) Since this is an expansion of the original thought to real-valued discrete variables, perhaps the original (simpler) thought should just be continued; ie - put this paragraph further down the article after the discussion about integer values has been more fully developed. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 184.108.40.206 (talk) 14:25, 11 April 2010 (UTC)
The plots on the right use equidistant numbers, not the thing one would expect from random numbers. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Muhali (talk • contribs) 17:37, 18 January 2013 (UTC)
Printing issues[edit]
I'm wondering why the 'Notation' and 'Parameters' parts don't print as they appear on the page; everything else prints OK.

Distribution of sums of discrete uniform random variables[edit]
Mathworld.Wolfram (http://mathworld.wolfram.com/Dice.html) describes the distributions which arise from the sum of dice rolls. I feel as if the information needs to be condensed and transferred in a copyright respecting format.
Here is my take at deriving the distribution of independent sums of discrete uniform random variables:
For s-sided dice each independent and , summing over each additional die performs discrete convolution
Then it is a straightforward case of induction to show that pmf described on http://mathworld.wolfram.com/Dice.html fulfills the above recursion (assuming I avoided making mistakes).Mouse7mouse9 04:28, 24 February 2015 (UTC)

Vincent Smith Profile
Brandin Hawthorne Profile
"I went over it with my family and my brother," Smith said to GoBlueWolverine at 3:00 PM. "I had a long talk about it with my family and I decided on Michigan. I let Coach Smith know this morning. He said to call him after we're done. He was excited that I'm going to be a Wolverine. I'm going to call Coach Rodriguez later today."
Added Hawthorne, "For me it came down to the coaches, the players, and just the atmosphere. Another thing is what my former teammate (Martavious Odoms) has been telling me."
The total package at Michigan was the determining factor for Smith as well.
"Coach Rodriguez is a cool coach and I feel like he is going to be there for me," he said. "The offense is going to fit me well, the education part is good, so I thought Michigan was a good school overall."
Another feather in Michigan's cap was the non-pushy approach employed by Odoms. The Wolverine freshman wideout offered his teammates advice without telling them what they should do.
"He was just proud of us," Smith explained. "He always said whatever we do and wherever we go, to just work hard. He told us to just stay humble, keep our heads on straight, go to class, and everything is going to come."
That said, Odoms didn't always practice complete neutrality. He did manage to put in a few good words for the Maize & Blue.
"He said that it's real nice up there," Hawthorne said regarding his conversations with Odoms. "He said that he thought that it would be a nice place for me to come. (The Michigan coaches) told me to look at Martavious and see how he came up. They didn't guarantee me a spot, but they said if I come and show that I'll give my all, be disciplined, and just be steady, there's a chance that I'll get on the field as a freshman."
Until the Pahokee duo actually matriculates to Michigan, Odoms warned them to be on guard.
"Martavious said the pressure just began," said Hawthorne. "Now (that they've committed) is when the scouts really start getting hard on you."
With plans to still take visits, the Wolverines-to-be are destined to feel significant heat from other programs.
"I'm going to Iowa State, Louisville, West Virginia, and Tennessee," reported Hawthorne. "I'm going up (to Michigan) when they play Michigan State."
The visit topic will almost certainly come up in conversations with Rodriguez later today if Smith's interaction with Michigan QB coach Rod Smith this morning is any indicator.
"(Coach Smith) said when I get there we're going to talk about (taking other visits)," said Vincent. "He wants me to visit Michigan first, so I'm going to visit Michigan first and we're going to talk about it when I get there. I haven't set up a date yet, but when I get through committing, I'm going to set all that up after the game.
Michigan fans can check out Hawthorne and Smith in action tomorrow on ESPN, as Pahokee will take on Olive Branch (MS) at 1PM.

Michelin MXM4's. Anybody running them?
Anybody running these? How do you like them?
I am looking for a tire that will primarily be used in the summer. I have a set of dedicated snows for winter. Looking for a quite and somewhat soft ride. I travel about 20,000 miles per year. A fairly long life is important, so at least 45,000 miles.
Thanks for the input.
Edit: This is regarding the Michelin PRIMACY MXM4's
Love Michelin's products, best brand of tire throughout their range of models IMO. Had MXV4s, they were great, I'm sure the MXM4s will be just great too. Buy the Primacy's though as they have treadware rating of 500 as opposed to the Pilot's 300. Post a review after you've put 1000 on them.
Glad to hear that the MXV4s treated you well! I pulled the trigger on the deal about an hour ago.... They will be fitted tomorrow just in time for a 500 miles road trip on Saturday. Will report back in the next week or two.
It sounds like this tire would be a good match to what you're looking for.
Just rolled over about 800 miles on the new MXM4s. Wow! So far very impressed. The ride was incredibly softer and quieter. I kicked up the width just a little bit to 215 instead of the stnd 205 (on 16's). Keep in mind, i was running absolute junk before the change.... The PO put on GY BlueStreaks which were very old, extremely harsh and loud.
For about the first 200 miles I noticed a pretty good vibration coming form the front of the car.... this has since passed. I wonder if this is some sort of breaking in period? The car rides like a dream now and I would recommend the tires for anybody who is looking for a 55000+ tire.
I had the Primacy's, still have 2 of them with about 35k miles. still have 6/32nds left. I honestly have no complaints. they actually handled the shitty pittsburgh winter last year pretty well. I was just annoyed when i got a sidewall flat a few weeks ago. I couldnt find the same tire locally anywhere so i bough two new rears.
Great to hear. I should have specified, these are Michelin Primacy MXM4's.
It is amazing how much of a difference good tires make. Definitely worth the few extra $$$ for them
I just picked up a set...

We came here for the ocean and peace and quiet, and the cottage was just what we needed. Three adults and two teenagers fitted perfectly.
Close to beach, quiet, large screened porch. Had two minor maintance issues that were promptly taken care of. Home layout best for families with older children, as 2nd & 3rd bedrooms across porch hallway. Nice for us as our older kids could sleep in.
Easy walking distance to lovely and private Middlesex Beath in south Bethany. Very pretty and quiet neighborhood.
The house is split into two sections; the master br is on one side with the kitchen and family area, and the other two bedrooms are in the other section divided by the screen porch. This isn't a problem but if you have younger children in those bedrooms you might want to have a monitor along because you can't hear them at night over the sound of the wall A/C units.
The kitchen is tiny but complete. The house is overall very comfortable. The bed and frame in the master could stand to be replaced. Very squeaky with every toss and turn.
Overall very good and reasonably priced rental. I'd go again.

American Flag Pallet Planter5:30:00 AM
This was an easy build that makes a great summer gift.
I began by building a box using wood cut from a found pallet.
I added cabinet handles at each end.
I painted the outside of the box white then using masking tape blocked off areas for the
stripes and a star..
I lined the box with plastic, filled it with soil and planted red impatience plants in the box.
When the flowers grow they should beautifully cascade over the edge of the box.
Happy Anniversary Mom and Dad!

Im in fine shape if I say so myself
Not in great shape, but Not really out of shape either.
Good defense comes in layers. I'm pretty sure we could all agree on that. I think the first layer is situational awarness, and the last layer is your firearm. In between somewhere lies the question of how good of physical condition you are in, as I feel it is a vital aspect to personal security. Just curious, i'll be honest i'm 6' 3" 210 lbs. Not in fantastic shape by anymeans, but I wouldn't want to fight me either.

agreed, your level of physical fitness is very important. Some obvious reasons are: being healthier, stronger, and more effective in a fight. Also, the better your level of PF, the higher your "deterrent factor" and the less likely you are to be chosen in the first place.
for the record, I'm 5'10" and 175-180 lbs. (depending on whether I'm working out like I should or not )

Yesterday we carried those packs in and camped in 26 deg weather overnight.

"Im not as good as I once was but Im as good once as I ever was" comes to mind,
Age and wounds have taken their toll on this old man, sad but I suppose I could run 500 meters tops if I was being chased down by a guy with a chainsaw,
Sad but true, wife married a handsome young buck tough as nails, now she has an old crippled has been, worse than that shes got one who is too stupid to know he is not a young buck anymore. (we put in a driveway 2 years ago, I was like no problem 8 tons of dirt I can move that by hand,,,,,,, kids moved more than I did,,,, yes IM officially old now)
I'm 22 and in GREAT shape. Hopefully I can keep it that way.
All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing.
Yea, I loved running when I was younger, but I grew too big and am just not meant for it, so I hike twice a week with a 35lb pack and hit the gym twice a week. Keeps me in decent shape. I'd probally be 260+ the way I eat if I didn't excercise.
I'm hitting middle age and my misspent youth is catching up with me. Arthritis in my back and knees, I'm slowly accumulating a spare tire between my six-pack abs and my belt.
My biggest decline is endurance. The arthrtis in my knees makes it hard to push more than a mile at a time, the back makes it hard to spend much time at a weight bench.
I've stolen a line from my Dr. When I went in to take a physical for a new job that would have me leaving the country and totin' a gun again (didn't pan out, wife got pregnant), he said "You're not nineteen and bulletproof anymore".
I've spent most of the last year witha cast on my right foot and on crutches. Surgery on it mid jan., So in the last year my muscle turned into taco bell. I'm 6'3" and 230 and still not that bad. I know I'm thru running, plus if they catch you, your tired! The farthest i'm running is to the closest cover. I have a gun and a truck.
A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.
I marked not in great shape but probably more in the totally out of shape. I used to be in pretty good shape, I've always been overweight (quite a bit) but used to be in better shape than lots of my friends (middle-school I popped my knee leg pressing over 300lbs so I was strong). I mountain biked a lot and paint balled twice a week. Once that got too expensive I mostly played video games . Unfortunately everything I try doesn't work, so far it might be working better trying nothing at all, we'll see next time I'm home and can jump on the scale.
I've always worked hard too though. Worked at a building materials store for a while, it wasn't unusual to unload several -and I mean several- thousand pounds of bagged concrete and/or cement by hand by myself. Granted it took a while. Then I worked temp jobs, normally with a trucking company, stocking gas stations so not real heavy work but you'd be surprised how heavy Gatorade gets going up and down ramps, particularly when you stack that dolly past the grips -
It's been on my to-do list. I'd love to go military after school. But now the store and trucking has taken it's toll on my back (real bad being I'm not even 21 yet) coupled by cheap habits (sleep on a $40 craigslist mattress on the floor ), bad habits (not exercising) and work habits (work at my desk on my computer all day, then browse forums, only relief comes laying on the couch to watch TV ).
EDIT: Oh and we got hit pretty good several years back, rear-ended stopped, he was probably going 40-45. I always ignore that because I still consider myself invincible. But I guess that could have an effect on my back. Been meaning to see the chiropractor since my dad's insurance will cover 20 visits a year in full =D but, well, I'm lazy.

As my chiropracter puts it at my once a month visit. "I luv you guys from the 80's - your my bread & butter. Just tell everbody your old & busted"
.......Or as I like to quote Indiana Jones when I say "It's not the age sweetheart.....it's the mileage."
Well "old" is debatable at 38. But "busted" sure seems to sum it up. The bad snowmobile accident I had at 20 is catching up & 2 knee operations later..... put all the years I put in in dirt biking with VERY poor suspention, not to mention at 6'05" always being the biggest guy in the room - "hey you can help move this piano"......well you get the idea.
PAIN+ARTHRITIS+POOR DIET+STRESS+COUCH POTATO = when the zombies come........please let them be the SLOW kind......."dunlop desease" has set in.
On the + side watching the old diet and getting more exercise I've managed to drop approx 35lbs since Nov. and plan to go 50+ more if I survive the "die" in diet.
now I need more coffee.....

I voted not in great but not out of either...At 46 I could easily slob out if I wanted to. I refuse...I pack a 25lb ruck 3 miles a day and I also work outside. Which in MS means I sweat...a lot I skateboarded for many years which is really a double edged sword. It kept me in shape but I dislocated and elbow and tweaked one of my knees pretty good. I can't really run due to the knee so I carry the ruck instead. It's hardest for me to stay motivated during the holidays.

Worst shape I've ever been in my life, which puts me about average, I suppose. Twenty months of churrasco and caipirinhas (BBQ and sugary booze) has taken its toll, but I'm PT-ing hard right now since I head back to Iraq in a few months. By the time I hit the IZ, I should be back in fighting shape (which, as I turn 37 today, still isn't quite 20 year old Ranger shape, but it ain't that bad...)
A man fires a rifle for many years, and he goes to war. And afterward he turns the rifle in at the armory, and he believes he's finished with the rifle. But no matter what else he might do with his hands - love a woman, build a house, change his son's diaper - his hands remember the rifle.
6'3" 270 recently lost 15 + lbs. about 12 years ago i was 220. 8% body fat. 8 years of investigator work and desk work have not been kind to me. However, there are a lot of guys my age, who I know I am in a lot better shape than. I am still pretty strong. I pack it all on a pretty big thick frame and most are sufficiently surprised when I tell them my weight. My size and "room presence" have kept me out of more fights than they have got me in to. I am on a kick of getting back in to shape since I lost weight. I agree that being in shape is a def. plus to self defense armed or not.
Friends don't let friends be MALL NINJAS.

Travel Blogs from Rome
Day 27
Weston woke up at 7:30am, and was out the door by 8am! He caught a train from Rome to Venice! He needed to go pick up his clothes from Grace, and wanted to explore a city that had canals running through it. The rest of us decided to stay an extra day because we didn't want to travel and stay less than 24 hours in Venice. We didn't think it was worth it. We woke up about an hour after and packed our bags. Brooke and I went down the next floor ...
Back to yesterday
After we had settled in we went for a walk. Turned left out of the flat and went down some very narrow streets. So narrow they are not on Google Maps.
This village is magic. It is surrounded by modern buildings which are probably only 200 years old and then by newer buildings the further from the Historic centre you go. We didn't set foot in any of those areas, we stuck to the 600 ...
The Eternal city - Roma
... a lot of roads were empty or closed off too, and we found ( even though we had pre-purchased tickets ) that we escaped long waiting times for admissions.
Today we visited the Colosseum. WOW !! Absolutely awesome. We were trying to imagine the bloodied battles that took place. We also went to Palatine Hill and the Roman Forum. Such history here, and it was great to walk around and enjoy it. We kept walking and passed ...
Roma Roma so much Roma
... and I had carbonera (italian dish typical) which was amazing, and then she showed me her favourite espresso place, which was amazing, near the pantheon. Also theres a kind of cat emporium around here. In the past rome was FILLEd with cats, so they kicked them out, but were kind enough to build them their own sanctuary. cute right?
THEN i visited the pantheon, walked all the way to the vatican, where tourists run wild, like there are so many i cant even ...
Tuscany Wine Tasting
... it was horrible, it was like 6 miles. We finally made and we got some Mcdonald breakfast (so American I know) . There was about 60 people on the trip and the bus took about 2 hours to get there. The city was beautiful and built on a huge so everything was uphill.
The town is very old and beautiful <3 The view were simply stunning and unbelievable. There are so many small alleys and you get views of the country ...

Inside this issue
Olympus EP1 versus Panasonic GF1
Field comparison of two recently introduced CSC's
David Tolcher
An enthusiast who enjoys having photography as an excuse to get out in to the wilds.
I was an early adopter of the m4/3rds 'compact' system buying a Panasonic GF-1 with 20mm lens pretty much as soon as they became available. It promised so much. It was to replace the Canon G10 that I owned and carried everywhere as a recorder whilst on location with the LF gear and as a better quality snapshot camera. I briefly owned an EP-1 when they first became available but the AF was so horrible I returned it within 48hrs (see later for a revisit with better results).

For collectors of sports cards like Upper deck's New York Rangers NHL autographed hockey cards, one of the things they surely want to ensure is keeping the item's quality. As far as collecting of these items goes, several solutions were already made to tackle that issue. One of the solutions presented for this issue is buying supplies of hockey card sleeves. These items can both be bought at hockey card store. It is a strategy to make sure that every item needed by a sports cards collector is already available at a particular store. That way, customers will have a comfortable time shopping at the store, making the activity more convenient in their part.
Also, as far as collecting these items can go, there are already a variety of hockey cards available out there. An example of that is the NHL autographed hockey cards such as the Calgary Flames NHL autographed hockey cards and Chicago Blackhawks NHL autographed hockey cards.
Every hockey card that you can now find in stores is characterized with different features. As such, items like Boston Bruins NHL autographed hockey cards are featuring the autograph of each of the Bruins player shown at the cards. Due to that, the more these items become valuable.
However, whatever is featured in items like Toronto Maple Leaf NHL autographed hockey cards, it will remain a fact that these are all of value.
If you are considering other Topps items to buy, there are also the Colorado Avalanche NHL autographed hockey cards and other hockey card teams that you can choose from. One thing you should remember though is to preserve the worth of each of the items you have and planning to buy to ensure that an investment later on will be realized, especially if that is the reason you bought the items.
