The Boston Red Sox are trying to cash in on the departure of longtime third baseman Kevin Youkilis.
Youkilis, who was traded to the Chicago White Sox Sunday, will play his first game in Boston since the deal when the Red Sox host the White Sox for a three-game series in mid-July. Monday morning, mere hours after Youkilis' nameplate was removed from his Fenway Park locker, the Red Sox e-mailed their fans promoting the return of Youkilis in an effort to sell tickets.
It's unlikely the Red Sox needed to promote the game heavily. They say they have sold out every home game for more than nine seasons, though a Boston Globe investigation noted that the term "sellout" can be nebulous when it comes to Fenway Park. A cursory search for tickets on MLB.com shows that seats – not necessarily good seats but two together, at least – are available for Youk's first game back at Fenway.
The "open arms" ticket promo is another odd twist in a player-team relationship that turned sour near the end.
A key part of Boston's World Series championship teams in 2004 and 2007, Youkilis received a huge ovation as he left Sunday's game for a pinch runner just hours before the trade was officially announced.
The Red Sox, who are 5 1/2 games out of first place in the American League East, will play rookie Will Middlebrooks at third base full-time and move Adrian Gonzalez back to his natural spot at first base.

Harold Field had his car broken into during a vacation. He called the police and went through the normal routine of reporting a theft, but wrote an interesting article on how he might have handled things differently if he were the MPAA,
So if I were the MPAA, how would I handle this?
Berate the cop who answered my call for not stopping the crime before it happened. I would also go around to everyone in my neighborhood and accuse them of "supporting theft" from their failure to set up a neighborhood watch to protect my right to leave my iPod in the front seat of my car.
. . .
I would lobby the Montgomery County Council to place a 24/7 guard on my driveway so I can leave my iPod in the front seat. I would also insist on a video surveillance system and fingerprinting for anyone who comes with 500 feet of my car. Any neighbors who complain about what a waste of tax payer money this is, or that it invades their privacy, or that they don't like giving fingerprints to police to protect my right to leave my iPod in the front seat "support theft" and deserve the smear treatment.
I would produce statistics that show that Montgomery County loses thousands of dollars and numerous jobs annually from iPod theft from my driveway. Anyone who questions the accuracy of these statistics "supports iPod theft."

My stock radio with 6 disc cd changer is horrible. Is there a 6 disc set up that will fit in the stock opening and maintain like stock appearence?
Re: New radio for my jeep
I doubt you will find a 6 disc in dash thats aftermarket.. you could always add a changer somewhere and go aftermarket, or get a unit that uses a mp3 player and ditch cd's all together :)

Selecting Interventions for Food Security in Remote Indigenous Communities
- Christina PollardAffiliated withWestern Australia Department of Health, Curtin University's Policy, Law, and Communication Email author
* Final gross prices may vary according to local VAT.Get Access
Improving the food security of people living in remote Indigenous communities is an identified priority of Australian Governments. As Indigenous Australians suffer a disproportionate burden from diet-related diseases, improved food security will result in health gains. This chapter describes a practical approach to developing and selecting interventions to improve food security in remote Indigenous communities. Food security interventions aim to achieve a secure, sustainable and healthy food supply to remote Indigenous communities with increased purchase and consumption of a healthy diet by community members as the outcome. Therefore, the menu of interventions must address both supply and demand issues. Policy makers need to take three simple, yet difficult steps when choosing which interventions are suitable to improve public health. Firstly, define the problem; secondly, consider 'what could or should be done?'; and thirdly, appraise a full range of intervention options to choose the most effective in the real world.
The types of public health interventions that could be selected to improve food security are numerous, from regulatory options, to mass media campaigns, to one-on-one health 'education' in a clinical setting. Sustained action across all sectors and governments are required to address the structural and systemic problems that have resulted in poor food security for many remote Indigenous communities.

I feel as though I've come full circle.
I left Medellin, Colombia last August to see the rest of South America.
Highlights from my time away include:
- Ecuador and an 8-day cruise in the Galapagos Islands
- Peru and the 5-day Salkantay trek to Machu Picchu
- Living in Lima for 5 months
- Two weeks traveling Patagonia with G Adventures
- Ice climbing on a glacier for the first time
- Living in Buenos Aires for 6 weeks, and taking tango lessons
- Traveling the coast of Uruguay
- Chile and sandboarding in the Atacama Desert
- Bolivia and the Salt Flats of Uyuni
I'm way behind in writing about my time in Argentina, Uruguay, Chile and Bolivia. To catch up, I'll have to be much more selective about the stories I write, though I may do a few shorter posts to fill in the gaps.
As exciting as the last 12 months have been, I've got epic travel plans ahead of me to finish out 2012.
Medellin, Colombia
I'm currently catching up with friends and work in Medellin. The lush, semi-tropical climate is a far cry from the greyness and cooler temps of Lima this time of year. I had my reasons for spending so much time in Lima, but the scenery wasn't one of them.
In addition to seeing friends, I'm trying lots of new restaurants, and am excited to see progress in the Medellin food scene since I left last year.
Miami, Florida
After Medellin, it's off to Miami, where I'll actually be stepping out of the airport for the first time (ever). I'm excited to be couchsurfing with Danny and Jillian from I Should Log Off. Ironically, we first met in Bogota a few years ago.
I'm also super excited to finally meet Jason and Aracely from 2 Backpackers. I've been following them for years.
In Miami, I'm specifically interested in seeing South Beach and Little Havana. If I ever do settle back in the USA, Miami would be a top contender given the easy and direct access it offers to Latin America and the Caribbean.
From Miami, I'll head west to visit my parents for a few days outside Tampa Bay.
I've heard so many good things about Iceland over the last few years, I can't resist stopping over for 10 days on my way to mainland Europe in September.
The unique geothermal activity and scenery should make for lots of good photos. And I'm hoping to catch the Aurora Borealis, if it's not too early in the Winter season. If my lower back is feeling better, I'd like to go ice climbing again too.
Costa Brava, Spain
I left Spain almost four years ago, as my trip around the world was winding to a close. I'm going back this year for the annual (European) Travel Blog Exchange conference, which is being held in Girona, just north of Barcelona.
Spending so much time in South America the last few years has meant missing travel writing and blogging conferences, which are mainly held in North America and Europe. I'm looking forward to catching up with old friends, and making some new ones.
Oktoberfest in Munich, and Germany
It just so happens that the end of TBEX coincides with the start of Oktoberfest, that annual drunken beer festival, in Munich, Germany.
I skipped Germany on my previous visits to Europe, therefore I'm overdue and this seems like the perfect occasion. I've already found a place to stay, thanks to Martin, my old German roommate from Medellin.
From Munich, I'll do a little sightseeing, and head up to Berlin for a few days.
Mystery Trip
I can't share the details yet, but I've got a tentative trip lined up for a destination far, far away.
London, England
In early November, I'll head to London for the annual World Travel Market exhibition. This is all business, as I'll be looking to make contact with travel companies and destinations from around the world.
Plus, I have a few friends from my travels that I'd love to catch up with in person.
Other Possible Destinations
I'll be heading back to Tampa, Florida for Christmas, so that means I've still got lots of time to fill in my itinerary.
If you'd like to make a suggestion, let me know where I should go in the comments below!

An intriguing game is set to be played tomorrow between the Philadelphia Eagles and the Houston Texans. While many people are saying that the Eagles are already a shoe in for this year's Super Bowl, Philadelphia still has a few things to prove before they actually get there. The team certainly has the potential to go all the way. This match-up will not only be an opportunity for them to prove their worth. It will also give them a shot at redeeming themselves from a crushing loss to the Chicago Bears last Sunday. The showdown is set to go down at 8:20 PM ET.
The Eagles sit confidently atop the NFC East in a tie with the New York Giants. This team had done really well this year thus far, but now they are heading into the harder part of the season. While they definitely have a shot at the playoffs this year, they are going to have to step it up on the defensive side if they hope to go all the way. Scores. Defense and the absence of Asante Samuel is what really caused them to fall to the Bears on Sunday. They failed to make even one turnover last week. Luckily, this team has a roster full of great players. Pro-Bowl receiver DeSean Jackson is an asset to the team. He has achieved a team-high six receptions of 40 yards or more and 35 receptions while averaging 19.5 yards per catch. He also has great chemistry with QB Michael Vick, who has also been doing well this season. The Eagles will give it their best shot and try to make the series record between these two 3-0 in order to get to the playoffs. Las Vegas odds.
Though they occupy the bottom of the AFC South, they stand in a stable position for this game. Odds. The team boasts RB Arian Foster, who is the NFL's leading rusher this season with 1,147 yards. In addition, Texas also has deadly duo of Matt Schaub and Andre Johnson outside the running game. With the Players down, shaky replacements and a questionable defense, the Eagles will have to keep an eye out for these players.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 16/4/2014 (1162 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
More than 700 municipal leaders gathered — some for the last time — to listen to Municipal Government Minister Stan Struthers during Day 1 of the Municipal Officials Seminar in Brandon on Wednesday.
In a 30-minute speech, which felt more like a lead-up to the next provincial election, Struthers touched on a range of issues, including the PST hike, infrastructure spending and amalgamation.
The longtime minister said the government has to think "strategically" and "economically" about how the additional provincial sales tax revenue is used to curb the infrastructure deficit.
The days of throwing money in the air and seeing how many potholes in the road are filled are over, he said.
"It wasn't the easiest decision to raise the PST," Struthers said, "but we're going to make it work for Manitobans."
For approximately 25 per cent of the municipal leaders in the room, it will be the last such seminar they officially take part in.
Forced amalgamations will result in the elimination of at least 46 municipalities.
The Association of Manitoba Municipalities unsuccessfully challenged the amalgamation legislation in court. Nonetheless, Struthers was asked one final time to show how it will benefit rural municipalities with populations under 1,000.
The minister said the legislation will give municipalities a better chance to capitalize on economic opportunities.
And he doesn't expect any municipalities under the threshold will go rogue and continue to fight the mergers.
"It looks to me that we won't have a situation where someone doesn't come to an agreement," Struthers said. "We're very close, even on the tough ones that are left."
Jobs and the economy dominated the speech, including how the province must work with municipalities and the federal government to take advantage of the Building Canada Fund.
"We still have more projects to do than we have money," Struthers said. "Even when you increase the PST by one cent on the dollar, and lever federal and municipal money together with our money, there are still a lot of demands out there and we have to be smart about where we invest this money."
Shoal Lake Mayor Don Yanick said it seems unfair to talk about the investment the government is making in rural Manitoba when his community and several others are losing their Manitoba Hydro offices.
"We've already had two families move out of our community," Yanick said. "And we will never have another Hydro employee move to Shoal Lake.
"We're being treated like third-class citizens."

CORRECTED-UPDATE 7-Powerful Brazil CEO arrested in Petrobras graft probe
(Corrects name of prosecutor in fourth paragraph to Lima from )
By Caroline Stauffer and Walter Brandimarte
SAO PAULO, June 19 (Reuters) - Brazilian police on Friday arrested Marcelo Odebrecht, the head of Latin America's largest engineering and construction company Odebrecht SA, and accused his family-run conglomerate of spearheading a $2.1 billion bribery scheme at state-run oil firm Petrobras.
Police also apprehended Otavio Marques Azevedo, CEO of Andrade Gutierrez, Brazil's second-largest builder, as the probe into corruption at Petrobras spread to the highest level of Brazilian business.
Odebrecht, Azevedo and other top executives arrested in Sao Paulo were driven to the airport in a van and flown to the southern city of Curitiba, where Brazil's largest-ever corruption scandal is being investigated.
A lead prosecutor, Carlos Fernando dos Santos Lima, said he had "no doubt" Odebrecht and Andrade Gutierrez led what he called a "cartel" that overcharged Petrobras for work and passed on the excess funds to executives and politicians.
The arrest of 46-year-old Odebrecht, who has personal ties to former President Luiz Inacio Lula de Silva, could bring the scandal closer to the political heart of the ruling Worker's Party.
"There is a larger connection between Lula and Odebrecht and we see (Odebrecht's) possible indictment as a big risk," said Cameron Combs, Latin America researcher with Eurasia Group.
President Dilma Rousseff, who ran the board of Petrobras during Lula's presidency, has denied knowledge of corruption and urged a thorough investigation. Neither she nor Lula have been implicated. Continuación...

A Soul for Europe
His Grace has consistently asserted that the EU is about 'something more' than mere economics, and deeper than politics. He is bemused that when such blatant spiritual objectives are stated, people persist in dismissing him as a 'conspiracy theorist' - not only Jesuit-educated anti-EU campaigners like Dr Richard North, but even the occasional unintelligent communicant on this august blog.
The stated belief is that culture can 'promote the process of European unification', because 'all areas of European policy - regional development, economic, security, social and foreign policy - can become more effective if given a cultural dimension'. Fascinating. And what is this culture? Pro-European, anti-State, anti-individualist, socialist, federalist, 'third way' Catholic-ecumenism. Just about everything that is antithetical to the instincts and culture of the United Kingdom.
Human sympathy normally spreads outwards from individuals to families, then to extended families and friends, and onwards to form communities, regions and countries, as people discover common ties of kinship, language and culture. God made the nations with diverse qualities, and these variations of national characteristics and cultures display a wonder of creation. If the story of the Tower of Babel established anything, it was that segregation occurs along these lines, and that attempts to re-build a unified tower are doomed to failure. There was never meant to be a bland uniformity, and totalitarian governments which have attempted to impose such conformity have presided over nationalistic discontent and precipitated civil wars. Free states extend the hand of peace and friendship to their neighbours in an appreciation of other cultures and nations. The love of one's own country permits an understanding of the love others have for theirs. No amount of patriotic feeling, nationalistic zeal or blindness to national diversity can lead to war: war is the manifestation of the lust for power and domination, especially the power of dictators motivated by trans-national ideologies based on race, class, religious ideals or utopianism - such as Nazism, Communism or totalitarianism. These have been the great scourge of Europe, and one of the principal barriers to their advance has been the patriotic resistance of nations determined to defend their own cultures, their rights, their liberties and heritage.

I don't know why she did it or what it's evn for besides makeing me feel and look stupid. Yesterday mommy went shopping for a while and when she came home, she said that she had a present for me. Then she pinned me down and put this orange thing on my neck. She called it a collar. I tried to get it off until I was exhausted. It even has a stupid little thing on it that rings everytime I move :( I'm getting used to it but I would much rather have it off. I can't be sneaky any more. Everyone can hear me no matter where I am. It's going to be a lot harder to get away with stealing food off the counters now. These pawrents think of everything, don't they?

Atoned and jockey Chris DeCarlo waited patiently as Pluracity and Coal Play led the field to the three-quarter marker in 1:10.74. DeCarlo moved Atoned three-wide entering the stretch and he held off Ready Set [$9.60, $5.20] by a nose in 1:49.4, in the mile and an eighth event. Truth Rules [$2.20], one of two entrants for Nick Zito, soared from last to third.
"He's been running second in a lot of races," DeCarlo said. "In the Haskell [finished sixth], I believe they tried to keep him closer to the pace and he's generally a one run horse. There were some restrictions I had today, letting him settle back and make a run with him. I started asking him past the three-eighths pole and he started picking it up pretty good. He has a tendency to wait on horses a little bit, so when we needed the lead at the three-sixteenths pole he kind of idled. He didn't completely pull up, but he idled a little bit and I was lucky at the wire ending up where I was. Racing luck has something to do with it, too."
A $165,000 2-year-old purchase, Atoned is by Repent from the Icecapade mare Amidst.
Earlier in the night, Blue Sailor [$18, $6.20, $4.60] increased his winning streak to three races in the $60,000 Thomas Edison Stakes for turf sprinters. Ridden by Harry Vega, Blue Sailor took command out of the gate and held on for a length victory over Smart Enough [$2.80, $2.20] in a swift 55.01. Remain Silent [$4.60] rallied between rivals to grab the show spot.
"That's his natural speed and I was surprised I was in front," Vegas said. "I was never sure [that I had it], but he got there and that's the main thing. I think he just set a track record in Maryland as well. He can go that fast; he can really go."
Blue Sailor improved his record to 10 wins in 29 career starts and boosted his bankroll to $211,086. Howard Wolfendale trains the 4-year-old gelded son of Northern Afleet-Tropical Rumor [Blue Ensign] for owners Robert Gorsuch, Robert Kreis and Raymond Makarovich Jr.

Social Networks & Blogs Increase to # 4 Online Activity
Social networks and blogs are now 4th most popular online activity, according to the most recent Nielsen report titled: Global Faces and Networked Places. One key finding states that, " Social networks are now visited by over two-thirds (67 percent) of the global online population, "Member Communities," which includes both social networks and blogs, has become the fourth most popular online category — ahead of personal email." Let me guess, you're not surprised… I wish I had a nickel for every time someone has started a story with, "I was on Facebook and…" The significant increase in the number of people participating in social networks and blogs (coupled together as 'member communities' in the report) is changing the way people behave and interact in general. I think of a social network just like TV or the newspaper on steroids, a broadcast communication medium to articulate your message, but you have the added bonus to engage and connect with your audience in a new and powerful way.An important point the Nielsen report raises is that social networks are simultaneously competing with traditional media outlets for consumer attention and creating new venues for traditional media outlets to engage their audience. The report highlights a number of points publishers should consider in order to properly engage their social network loving audience and they go into detail on page 13 of the report: – Understand that social networks are an opportunity for everyone – Tap into what makes social networks successful – Increase interactivity within the publisher site (Internal) – Participate in the conversation on other social networking sites (External) – Think about the mutual relationship with social networks and other media – Whatever the successful ad model turns out to be in social networks – copy it.

MURRAY - St. Mary wasn't the ideal opponent for Marshall County to open the First Region boys basketball tournament Saturday night at Murray State's CFSB Center.
Sure, the Marshals beat St. Mary twice in the regular season by a combined 21 points and haven't lost to the Vikings since at least 2000. But Marshals coach Gus Gillespie wasn't happy with the fact that his team would have to beat the Vikings for a third time to advance.
No worries. The Marshals fended off a late Vikings rally for a 66-59 win to improve to 26-8 in the all-time series. They play Mayfield at 6:30 p.m. Monday in the semifinals.
"We knew they'd be ready for us," Gillespie said. "This was everything we expected. We put a few new things in, and I think St. Mary did, too. It was a tough, tough ballgame."
The Marshals (21-10) advanced after center Austin Rentfrow scored a team-high 16 points, and D.J. Pigg added 13. Mason Wooten and Collin Travis each had 11.
The Vikings (21-10) took a 16-12 lead into the second quarter behind Patrick Hubert's seven and Wes Averill's five first-quarter points. But the Marshals went on an 8-4 run over the first five minutes of the second period to take the lead for good on a shot by Wooten.
They led 35-28 at halftime and extended it to 48-38 going into the fourth quarter. Averill trimmed the deficit to seven, 54-47, midway through the period, and Hubert cut the margin to five, 62-57 late, but the Marshals were able to withstand the Vikings' rally.
The Vikings shot 11 of 17 (64.7 percent) in the first half but 7 of 22 (31.8 percent) in the second.
"We felt like we could improve our defense in the second half," Gillespie said. "The first half, they made some tough shots, and we were having some breakdowns. You just can't have that against a team like St. Mary that can score so many points."
Despite the loss, Vikings coach Greg Overstreet couldn't find fault with his players.
"I thought we played a heck of a ballgame," he said. "We took away the things we were trying to take away from those guys. Everybody did the things we asked them. Tonight, it wasn't enough."
The loss ends the Vikings' season and the careers of their seven seniors, including Averill, Hubert and McCall Overstreet, who finished with seven points. Averill scored a game-high 22 and Hubert added 19.
"It's tough," Greg Overstreet said. "They've been in a lot of games. You hate to see them go, but it's time for them to move on and become young college guys."
St. Mary 16 28 38 59
Marshall County 12 35 48 66
ST. MARY - P. Hubert 19, Dickens 3, Vaughn 2, Averill 22, Smith, A. Hubert, Overstreet 7, Dome 6.
Field goals 18/39. 3-pointers 5/13 (Averill 2, Hubert, Dickens, Overstreet). Free throws 18/20. Rebounds 23. Fouls 18.

Field goals 23/39. 3-pointers 7/12 (Pigg 3, Warnick 2, Wooten, Travis). Free throws 13/20. Rebounds 20. Fouls 15.

The office of president is one that allows its occupant to be the target of gifts that supposedly represent admiration, but which could be interpreted as an attempt to influence the occupant of the Oval Office. President Obama received $245,000 in jewels from the King of Saudi Arabia, perfume from the president of France, a gold watch and other trinkets from Italian Prime Minister Berlusconi and books and other objects from former prime minister Gordon Brown of England. American law requires the president to turn over the loot to the government. This raises an interesting issue. What if all lobbyist gifts to members of Congress were required by law to be turned over to the Treasury Department? Republicans constantly claim they wish to lower the national debt. Here is a way to begin, transform lobbyist money from private hands and turn it over to the American people.
I am certain the Tea Party welcomes this suggestion. After all, the British government in 1776 did not hand out trinkets to American leaders so why not clear the deck and have a jolly tea party in which we throw lobbyists off a boat in order to have money in their pockets fall into a safety net and thus net for the government enough money to pay off our national debt?

Target Base is a set of 3 baseball bases that has the corner highlighted in orange to minimize foot, ankle, knee, leg, finger & wrist injuries along with teaching proper baserunning techniques.
Baseball and softball players suffer frequent foot, ankle, knee, leg, finger and hand injuries. The uniquely designed Target Base greatly reduces the risk of those injuries thanks to the 5" neon orange corner, which provides a visual target for players when running to the base. The rest of the base is made of a special gel that absorbs the impact of slides. Target Bases are also an excellent training aid. They provide instant feedback for coaches wanting to teach proper foot placement when rounding the bases.

Mid-Atlantic European Union Simulation
Contact Info
Peter Loedel
Phone: 610-436-3435
Ruby Jones Hall 205
Current fees for participating in the Mid-Atlantic European Union Simulation are:
The fees cover the costs of the hotel conference facilities, program events, speaker and printed material (name tags and program).
Total costs thus vary per university – but figure around $2,500-$4,000 depending on total number of students. Some universities do this for less with cheaper travel and fewer students participating. Schools vary widely in how the expenses are financed. While all universities have some limited support from departments and administration, some manage to charge students no additional fee; others have the students covering nearly all the costs.
To gain more information, ask questions, and register, please contact the MEUSC Executive Committee.
MEUSC is held typically in the middle of November from Thursday morning through Saturday around 5pm at the Georgetown Holiday Inn outside DC (with many of the groups arriving Wednesday night). View the timeline and program.
On Thursday, after visits to the embassies of the countries our schools are representing, we have an opening session with a speaker and speeches by the students representing the heads of government and key EU officials (e.g., Herman van Rompuy). Then, it's down to business. European Parliament (EP) party groups begin selecting their party leaders and discussing party platforms.
Friday and Saturday, the students debate a resolution written by the Commissioners (other students who have spent the semester writing the legislation). The two parliament committees each deal with one half of the resolution as do the two ministerial councils; each of the four bodies can only amend the resolution.
On Saturday, there is more debate. Both the EP and the Ministers finalize their versions, no longer in split sessions. They then meet in a conciliation committee, trying to work out differences. Finally, the resolution is sent to the Heads of Government (who have spent the last day and a half discussing other issues important to Europe) for a final vote (though we often then send it to parliament for a final say).
We do realize that this is not exactly the way the "real" EU writes and handles resolutions; however, it is the only practical way to include the Parliament, Ministers, Council, and Commissioners.

IMHO, either one could work for you. Let's face facts, getting shot with either WILL require several bandaids.
I would think that the lighter 185gr is going to have a higher velocity and would work better in shorter barrels. I believe that bullet type and make is what comes into play here...I'm no velocity expert.
I have both 230gr and 185gr in the safe. I have used both in my Kimbers, especially using the 185gr in the 3" barrels.
I would have no problem using either load in any of my firearms.
Normally, I would load the 230gr in my present Glocks (I sold all my Kimbers), but I would have no problem using either in any of my Glocks.
Let's wait for the 'experts' to chime in...:

Thanks for voting on the ladies poll. I thought that with a big prize giveaway at Rolling Thunder more ladies would race. The poll disagrees, and ranks first timer/beginner races as the best way to get more women involved. Great feedback, thank you. Also, the idea of having female cyclocross role models is really worth while. I think beginners would be more receptive to a pro lady then a pro man. Maybe we could get Sue Butler to roll out for a camp. Even better let's just wait till L Curry becomes a pro and use her services :).
Rolling Thunder registration is now open. Like Geoff's Helena race starting position will be based off of MBRA series standings. The one change for Thunder is that last year's winners all get a front row spot. This only applies to champions racing in the same category they won last year. For folks who don't have MBRA points the call up will be based on registration order.
Isn't that a sweet photo of Dave hopping the barrier at Wednesday night #2?

Missoula Wednesday Night Cross Series #2 - Bob doubles up
Bob notched another victory last night at the Wednesday Night Cross Races. He outlasted Dave and Dale. The course was well laid out by Dave. Lots of turns and really fluid. The three leaders broke away early and were never seen again. Dale crashed hard and that put him out of contention. Bob used his good form and rode away from Dave. Elliot rode well and got within 5-10 seconds of Dave on the last lap. He claimed third. Troy and I rode most of the race together, and both fought through crashes. Fiore rode strong in 6th followed by Kyle.
Unofficial: Bob, Dave, Elliot, Shaun, Troy, Fiore, Kyle, Dale
The ladies race was taken by Megan Slivka. She rode hard from the start and held off all challengers. A new crosser took 2nd. I heard her name tossed around, I think it was Nicky Phear. She rode great. Sak hung on for third and Laurel had a bad crash that took her out of competition.
Unofficial: Megan, Nicky, Soph
Men's B was another huge turnout. With fields almost in the 30's the holeshot is becoming more and more important. The men's B riders are starting to realize the importance of cross tactics and positioning. J Dunphy with the help of Dusty snatched the hole shot. Soon enough mountain bike Dillon started putting the power down. He was hopping the single barrier and making the course look easy. He grabbed his first Wednesday night win of the year and looks tough to beat on anything with obstacles. There was a nice group on the front working together. I'm going to throw out some names of jerseys I saw; Dunphy, T Hurst, Dillon, Larsen, Bookwalter, JB, T Sullivan. The B's have so many entrants I'm loosing track of the results. I know Dillon won (great job), but I won't post unofficial results beyond that cause it would be way off. Go men's B's!
Masters A and B was hard fought. Alex and Wehyrich got tangled at the start, allowing T Sullivan to jump away. I don't know the results of this race either, but I think Sully grabbed the victory in the A's and don't know who won the B's.

Ladies Poll - Inspired by Sue Butler
I watched Star Crossed and was inspired by Sue Butler. I've followed her career in cyclocross over the past couple seasons primarily because she's from the Portland area and I like to see the northwest folks do well. Also, I was intrigued seeing her and Wendy Williams continue to ride for River City Cycles. It's a sweet team but I always thought both of them had the talent to ride for a bigger team if they wanted too. For this season Sue has moved to the Monavie Cannondale Team. She's only been racing cross for 4 years and really made a name for herself at Start Crossed. She's a product of Portland grass roots racing. I don't know a ton about the scene in Portland but I do know that it doesn't hurt having local top notch riders stay around and develop the local scene.
The ladies poll this week was inspired by Sue Butler. She has made a name for herself in the Portland area. She raced the cross crusades and became a role model for cross ladies in Portland. She's now made it to a bigger stage, and continues to be a beakon for ladies in the northwest.
For the poll if you ladies think I missed an option that really says how you feel please write a comment. You can make it anonymous.

Montana Cyclocross #1 - Butte - Currys, Fiore, Vanderwood
John Coulthard did another great job with the Copper Mountain CX Race. The course was similar to year's past with the long run-up and technical back side. The only difference was time spent in the Montana traditional field of bumps. Most Montana courses have them and Butte was no different. We switch backed up a field of bumps on the back half of the course.
The day started off hot with the ladies, men's 4, and men's master B. Great showing for the ladies. All the MT Cross Stars were in attendance. Lisa Curry jumped from the gun and a grabbed a big lead on the first lap. H Gaskill chased hard in second but soon flatted her rear tire. Lisa was out in front and wasn't slowing down. Michelle Richardson raced strong for second followed by new comer Laurel Douglas "Douglas" in 3rd. Julianne for Multerro looked super smooth and grabbed 4th ahead of a revived Gaskill and charging KG. It was super fun to watch. Lisa picked up where she left off last season, but Michelle is fit, and wildcards Douglas Douglas and Gaskill should challenge. Great win LC.
The men's 4 race didn't have the numbers I expected but the competition was hot. Missoulian Geneco stole the hole shot and led the first lap. Soon after Karl Vanderwood rode up and passed the leader and never looked back. What initially seemed like the start of a battle at the head of the race snuffed out quickly with Vanderwood powering away from the rest of the field. Alex Schoenfelder on the mountain bike was equally impressive. He towed that beast around the course and held off Geneco for 2nd. The top five was rounded out by Downtown JB and Muleterro's Cory Hardy (nice race big timer). Men's master B was won by Byron Deford who had to battle with all the crazy 4's.
In the new Montana format there are two races. The second race is men 1,2,3 and master men A. There was a great turnout with 19 men 1,2,3 and 7 master men A's. John Curry and Frank G battled for the first part of the race. They rode on a different level. Geoff Proctor looked super good coming in 2nd after a Frank G mechanical. There was a short battle for 4th between Alex Lussier, Bobby, and Dale, but the strongman Lussier outlasted the two MT crossers and they finished in that order. Great ride by Jared Nelson to sneak up into 7th after early troubles. Around that group is where the master's A's were decided. It was a three way race between Fiore, Wehyrich, Longmire, and at times AG. Fiore outlasted everyone except Longmire who grabbed the veteran's wheel. Eventually Fiore wore Longmire down and took a great win. Spectators said Fiore was the fastest up the run-up all day. Wehyrich took a good third followed by Muller and Schoening. After Nelson in the 1,2,3 it was all riders who had there early problems and were trying to recover. Frykman snapped a chain right off the bat and I think Brad passed me back and forth 4 or 5 times. It was great fun and the turnout was awesome. If this is a sign of things to come John Curry is going to be extremely tough to beat not only in Rolling Thunder but in every MT race this year.

I find it interesting that so many people can find so many uses for the side buttons on a mouse. My Intellimouse 4.0 has the 2 buttons both on the left side of the mouse and I use the back button to reload the the forward to bring up the buy menu. It's all what's important to you in a game and what you are used to but still interesting all the uses for one or two buttons.

After a year of waiting, True Blood fans got their first episode of season four on Sunday. Beginning with Sookie's journey to the fairy world, the episode started off with a distinctly different feel from previous seasons. And while this may have seemed disjointed to some fans, die-hard Trubies who have read all of Charlaine Harris's books probably weren't too surprised by the show's new dimension (although book purists probably noted many differences).
Here are my two cents on the premiere. I liked the opening. I think it was an abrupt start to the new season, but it also allowed the story to move forward one year in time. While this jump did not make much of a difference in the Bill-Sookie-Eric love triangle, the year seemed monumental in the character development of Jason, who is noticeably more mature; Andy, who is a V addict; Tara, who is having a lesbian relationship; and Bill, who seems to have taken on a high-profile role in local vampire politics. Of all of these developments, I was the most pleased to see the growth in Jason's character. To be honest, his ditsy routine was getting a bit old by the end of last season. And he looks gorgeous in that uniform.
Many loyal fans of the books rate the fourth in the series as their favorite (myself included). There are a few reasons for this in my case. First, I'm Team Eric. And if the show follows the books (and Alan Ball's allusions) this is going to be a good summer for Eric fans. Second, the witches are cool, and introduce yet another interesting supernatural element to the mythology. Third, Sookie really comes into her own as she explores her options post-Bill.
If the first episode is any indication, all of these elements are going to come into play. And while I'm not going to count down my favorite moments, I will say that the witches' coven left quite an impression on me. The lead witch Marnie, played by Harry Potter's Fiona Shaw, is a frightening, intimidating and wild presence. As she was chanting to resurrect her bird, I had the distinct feeling that she is completely unstable – and there's nothing more dangerous and interesting than an unstable, morally dubious, brilliant purveyor of the mystic arts.
Did anyone else tune in? If so, I'd love to hear your two cents.

Port Strike Averted... for 30 Days
(New York, NY - WNYC) A federal mediator has announced that dockworkers at East and Gulf Coast ports will not go on strike this Saturday, as threatened. The International Longshoremen's Association and United States Maritime Alliance have agreed to extend their contract negotiations for an additional 30 days.
A strike, which had the potential to cost hundreds of millions of dollars in lost wages and economic activity, seemed likely after talks between the two sides broke down on December 18.
At issue was a wage structure that includes royalties to union workers based on cargo weight. There is now an agreement in principle on wages, with more bargaining needed to seal the deal.
The National Retail Federation said it welcomed the news while striking a note of caution in a statement: "We continue to urge both parties to remain at the negotiating table until a long-term contract agreement is finalized." The New York Shipping Association agreed, saying, it "is looking forward to getting to the table to begin serious bargaining on the local agreement and to start the process of change."
Below is a statement on the agreement by Director George H. Cohen of the Federal Mediation and Conciliation Service:
WASHINGTON, D.C. — "I am extremely pleased to announce that the parties have reached the agreements set forth below as a result of a mediation session conducted by myself and my colleague Scot Beckenbaugh, Deputy Director for Mediation Services, on Thursday, December 27, 2012:
"The container royalty payment issue has been agreed upon in principle by the parties, subject to achieving an overall collective bargaining agreement. The parties have further agreed to an additional extension of 30 days (i.e., until midnight, January 28, 2013) during which time the parties shall negotiate all remaining outstanding Master Agreement issues, including those relating to New York and New Jersey. The negotiation schedule shall be set by the FMCS after consultation with the parties."
"Given that negotiations will be continuing and consistent with the Agency's commitment of confidentiality to the parties, FMCS shall not disclose the substance of the container royalty payment agreement. What I can report is that the agreement on this important subject represents a major positive step toward achieving an overall collective bargaining agreement. While some significant issues remain in contention, I am cautiously optimistic that they can be resolved in the upcoming 30-day extension period."

Mila Kunis Brandishes Baby Bump at "Third Person" Premiere
Stepping out for some promotional duties, Mila Kunis attended the premiere of her new flick "Third Person" at the Linwood Dunn Theater in Hollywood last night (June 9).
The preggers "Forgetting Sarah Marshall" starlet was beautiful in a little black dress that accentuated her growing midsection and showed off her toned legs.
Mila previously sang the praises of her handsome hunk Ashton Kutcher, who has been quite the partner all throughout her pregnancy.
Kunis shared, "He assumed that I was gonna have goofy cravings, so he stocked our secondary fridge with weird food. Just like pickles, and sauerkraut, or like anchovies, and ice creams… just in case at one point during this pregnancy I'd be like I really want something. Like I needed this pickle and he was like hold on a second and disappeared in the backyard and came back with the most amazing dill pickle of all time."

Babies and toddlers who do not "behave" are medicated and sedated with drugs such as Phenobarbital, a common antiseizure drug.
I am thankful for Adderall, Ritalin, Focalin et al, because a medicated child is a happy child.
Is violence an illness to be contained and medicated much like Tuberculosis?
Bob Gingrich was furious and demanded that she be medicated again.
This medicated milk should be fed to the calf in the usual quantity.
They were directed to be continued, together with the medicated water.
Following the application of cold packs, the use of a poultice such as some of the sterile, medicated muds, is of marked benefit.
Bring in the medicated coffee for one, and rahat lakoum for two!
I sees how it was then; Babbitt had been gettin' a commission for every glass of the medicated stuff he pumped into the Commodore.
It is the sword that must be medicated, that the wounds made by it may be healed.
"to treat medicinally," 1620s, a back-formation from medication, or else from Late Latin medicatus, past participle of medicare. Related: Medicated; medicating. The earlier verb in English was simply medicin (late 14c.).
medicate med·i·cate (měd'ĭ-kāt')
v. med·i·cat·ed, med·i·cat·ing, med·i·cates
To treat by medicine.
To tincture or permeate with a medicinal substance.

M00p Virus Cyber Attack Revealed
Investigation of the 2006 malware creating massive havoc and turbulence led the law enforcement officials to take creators of m00p virus behind the bar, reports softpedia on October 6, 2011.
However, Graham Cluley, Senior Technology Consultant at Sophos showed personal interest on investigating the matter at Detective Constable Bob Burls' of the UK's Police Central e-Crime Unit (PCeU) and during presentation at the Virus Bulletin in Barcelona recently. This led to a series of arrest of several suspects of the m000p virus.
Even though a lot of hacking attacks were suffered by users from various institutions, but Constable Burls was surprised to find the cyber hit on a hospital. However, on further investigation, it was discovered that the botnet used were being controlled by a registered domain holding the address firstname.lastname@example.com
On scrupulous investigation further deep into the matter revealed that the mastermind behind the hack was a security company, Opton-Security, owned by Matthew Anderson.
However, in a 2006 raid by British and Finnish police led the suspects of the cyber attacks to jail. The log report signified Anderson to be the administrator of the M00p IRC server and Artturi Alm as his co-ordinator, who had an open IRC connection to the M00p IRC channel.
In the raid, police found compromised pictures of female victims, who left their webcams on unknowingly and even private chat logs were revealed to raise further eye brows. In one such matter as revealed from the chat logs, Anderson was reportedly found guilty and arrogant while snapping the pictures of a girl in her private time, who later on burst into tears on discovering that her computer had been hacked.
However, Alm reportedly seemed to be an articulate criminal who embedded his social security number in some of the malware distributed by the group and also tattooed his arm with his online nick name "Okasvi".
Though the M00p operation could finally be closed down after the series of imprisonment, but members from other countries including Canada, Finland, France, Italy, Kuwait, Scotland, and the US, still prevails.

Tummy Tuck and Breast Augmentation
- yellowbird_c
- Last updated: 4 years ago
I recently lost 80 pounds.. still need 15 more to go to reach my goal.. It took me 2 years and now I am almost there. I hate my body now, it makes me depressed what happens to it after you have been morbidly obese for almost 20 years. I want a tummy tuck and a breast Augmentation, but want a very good surgeon. I want the minimal scar in my adomenal area. I live in Windsor, Ontario and I would go in the detroit area and as far up as Toronto. Does anyone have any pictures and feedback? It is all overwhelming for me.. Would greatly appreciate it. If I am spending this kind of money I need to do my research, it took me twenty years to get here and I am ready for this change in my life. Thank-you so much.

I seriously considered the Spartan, but was concerned about the uncovered fasteners so I went for the MTAC which I really like. Glad the Spartan worked out for you!
This is a discussion on Comp-Tac's Minotaur Spartan (the cheaper one) within the Defensive Carry Holsters & Carry Options forums, part of the Defensive Carry Discussions category; I figured I would post on this one since I haven't found any other reviews on it.

I figured I would post on this one since I haven't found any other reviews on it. Comp-Tac : Products
I was going to get a C-TAC, then liked the MTAC idea of having some leather on the inside, but it cost more. The Spartan is the barebones, lower cost version of the MTAC. The part that makes it cheaper is it's not as finished and pretty looking. It doesn't have another piece of leather covering the fasteners. I like this part though, because while not as nice looking, who cares? you're not showing off a concealed holster anyways. Also, and this is an assumption, that it would be thinner without the extra layer of leather.
I was concerned a bit that the fasteners not being covered would be a problem, but I wore it without a shirted tucked in between and I couldn't feel anything sticking out or even noticeable.
The one main downside I did notice was that the leather had pretty sharp edges on the side that contacted my body at the top where the back of the slide would meet the hip. I did tuck a shirt in and it took care of it, but was still a bit uncomfortable without anything tucked in between. I fixed this problem by using sandpaper and smoothed down the edges of the leather. This completely eliminated the problem. Since the sanding, I have gone 2 days wearing it without a shirt tucked in between the leather and me, and it feels great.
I still may need time to fully break it in, but I am very happy with it. I would say if finish is more of a concern then get the MTAC, but if you want to save a few bucks, it's worth it. Maybe Comp-Tac can address the sharper edges of the leather cut? Then it would be perfect. But either way it was easy to smooth out.
Anyone else have one?

because it was allot of dollers ,,i have a K&D that should be here
for my XD any day oh and a belt from him too
has anyone tried the moleskin treatment on the spartan yet?
I received the moleskin with my Spartan. I was fine without it so I used part of it on my Miltsparks Watch Six for friction purposes . I love the watch six but it has always been so slick it would sag because I don't have enough hips to hold it up. Then I took the remainder of it and put it on the Spartan, I can already tell that over time it may not stay on as well as I would like because it is starting to roll up on the edges.

Costume Information
|Cost :
|Awards :
|1st Place Saturday Masquerade May Expo
|Time Taken :
|About 4 months
|This costume was an absolute bitch to do in every way shape and form.
It wasn't as expensive as I thought it would be, and it seemed pretty value considering I bought the contacts (£30) and the wig (£12) before for another cosplay.
The constuction of the armour was lengthy, but started with absorbing reference pictures into our brains (on all four of the Warhammer costumes). The witch elf took more planning, because we had to combine her with another dark elf design so that I wasn't naked (and I couldn't just do the other, as I would have baked~!) and then I sketch out a multitude of designs. The whole thing was highly collaborated, but that didn't make it easier, rofl. Then measurement were taken and some dark brown leather was bought (yeah, it WASN'T pleather, what ever asshole said that to me.) It was cut, shaped, smoothed a bit, baked and then played with. We wanted it to be snake-like, so it made riveting a lot harder. Layers of leather were held together and riveted to leather straps on the inside, which articulated the armour and made it breathable.
That took long enough =___=;
The gold detail took a few hours and hurt simply because I suck at using squirty bottles. The 'loin-cloth' was made from a cheap-o silk (or silk like? I'm not good with fabric) and was the only thing that broke, luckily a good friend sewed it up backstage. The cloak was just something a mates mother had made for halloween, I re-cut it to fall better and then hemmed it, she'd cleverly put a little pocket in it so I didn't need a bag.
This was fine and dandy, I just re-used my basic black wig and werewolf contact lenses, until we reached the point of ears. I mean, the armour was a pain in the arse to make but the ears were a pain in the arse to source. I want to learn how to make them myself, but I eventually found an amazing company that did a custom pair of ears for me in the UK (so they were a good length). I think just banged in my scarecrow standard fangs and pimped myself up with blood and hench ass make up. (my skin was paallee that day! D: )
The weapon was made with a foam board for the blade, which was decorated and coated in latex (like the hand guard and end of handle). The handle was a small bit of wood (? Rob did it, I'm not sure) wrapped in off cut leather. In total took about 4 months, so we were eager to get a place in the masquerade to show them off, for this we shelled out at extra 4 each for early entry and left the house at some ridiculous hour (7? I woke up at 5:15 to go to Abby's first) to arrive there at 8, donn the armour and snag a place in the masquerade (there were four registration sheets left, orz' ).
It was fun though, we look forward to more challenging costumes in the future.
You looked fantastic Nat! I had no idea it was you in that costume LOL I spent some time in my Angeal costume chatting to you guys ^_^' I was a happy Sean LOL
Yeah, I recognised you xD I was going to say "Hey Sean, it's Nat!" but I was too shy and scared I'd look like an absolute idiot, lmao! Your wing looked absolutely amazing by the way 8D I was happy Nat.
That photo you couldn't make out was taken by Matthew Chan :) Very well done cosplay as usual :O
Wait, this was you!? Ahhhh I didn't know, I was talking to you briefly backstage and had no idea this was you.
I love your costume, it looked amazing *-* Very impressive~ Congrats on winning! *-*
Sooo good to see women doing Warhammer cosplay! good job!
Incredibly cool costume and you used really interesting methods. Grats on the prize, well deserved :D
Fantastic to see some real leather on people!
(I *love* leather)
This was just amazing! Congrats on the win with the rest of Warhammer group! You guys just blew my socks off!
congrats with the win! You guys made an excellent group, and it really warms my heart to see more warhammer people walking around! :D
Thanks! We're planning to do 40k costumes in the future.
Unbelievable detail, you did an amazing job on this!
Good stuff
Awesome costume. The armour is epic.
Fantastic cosplay. I love the amount of detail on the armour

Summit County snow terrain update
November 10, 2012
The winter storm may have brought the skier excitement to a new level while bringing most local ski areas around 2-4 inches of accumulation Saturday, but available terrain remains the same at local ski areas.
Though touting favorable conditions, opening new terrain will require more than what the county has seen from this weather event with Loveland, Arapahoe Basin, Copper, Keystone and Breckenridge holding out on opening additional trails.
"As always, snowmakers are working hard," said Will Bond, marketing and events coordinator for Arapahoe Basin. "This snow should encourage the opening process."
By Saturday afternoon, Arapahoe Basin reported 4 inches of accumulation. The ski area currently offers the High Noon and Ramrod trails and the High Divide terrain park, a total of 20 of the ski area's 960 skiable acres.
Loveland reported 2 inches of accumulation from the storm – the ski area has one lift open with four trails on 79 skiable acres.
Copper Mountain reported 2 inches of accumulation by Saturday afternoon. The ski area has two lifts and four trails open with 55 skiable acres.
Keystone Resort has received 3 inches of snow from Saturday's storm. The ski area has five operating lifts, with four runs and 54 acres of skiable terrain.
"We'll take advantage of the colder temps and make snow around the clock as conditions allow and we'll evaluate additional terrain opening after the conclusion of the storm and weekend," said Laura Parquette, spokeswoman for Keystone Resort. "But it's great to see snow falling!"
Breckenridge, which opened for the season Friday, reported 1 inch of accumulation from the storm. It has two lifts, two runs and 40 acres of skiable terrain open.
According to Dennis Phillips, meteorologist with the National Weather service based in Grand Junction, this weather event is "a pretty strong storm" consisting of two phases with the stronger of the two expected to move through Summit today.
"The first phase passed through Saturday during the day while the main phase was in Utah," Phillips said. "The second phase will bring up to 10 inches of accumulation, depending on elevation."
Cooler temperatures coming with the main phase of the storm will make "snow more efficient, more powdery," Phillips said.
Winds are forecasted to switch from southerly to northerly during the main phase today.
"The winds from the main phase of the storm will favor north-facing slopes, it all depends on where you are but skiing conditions Sunday should be very good," Phillips said.
Though it's possible the storm could continue through Sunday evening, forecasters say the storm will taper off this afternoon.
"The National Weather Service has a Twitter feed set up on this storm and everyone from the Summit County area seems to be pretty excited about getting snow up in the High County," Phillips said.
The weather forecast for Veterans Day calls for a 60 percent chance of snow with cloudy conditions and a high near 24. The wind chill will make the temperatures feel like -5 degrees, with west-northwest wind gusts from 7-22 mph. Snowfall is forecasted to continue through the afternoon, but with less than 3 inches of accumulation possible.
Mostly sunny conditions and highs in the mid-30s are forecasted for early in the week starting Monday and are expected to continue through Wednesday.
Another winter storm is possible Thursday evening – current weather reports forecast a 20 percent chance of snow through Friday.

Just a little opinion: I did like your "mock up" a little better because of the frayed parachute and for some reason the filled in clouds caught my eye better, but I can see why you changed it and I think you made a great choice.
Thanks for the opinion. I ditched the frayed parachute because it was bothering me, like a weak point in the design. The solid clouds were also making the shirt too "bottom heavy" and actually went through nine versions before this one was selected.

I can't afford to purchase Adobe Illustrator or Photoshop, and I prefer to support OSS, so I use The Gimp and Inkscape. This means that I can't open woot's templates - I'll spare you the tech details, but I can't get the adapters for The Gimp to open the Adobe templates. So I use screenshots from the pdf, resulting in color inaccuracy. I tried to work around this issue by using the color from a photo of a baby blue woot shirt. This doesn't necessarily exempt me from being a stupid derbyist, though. How 'bout some benefit of the doubt next time, Adder?
PVT me for a pantone color pallette for inkscape/gimp with woot shirt colors included..

I'm glad you didn't take my comment badly. I feel exactly the same as you do - none of my entries so far have come anywhere near winning, but I am learning new techniques each week, and my vote totals keep rising with each new one, so I guess something is working. Besides. I am having fun and learning, which are my 2 main goals anyway.

Re: O, God, please help us.
Brilliant and hilarious design. And finally an animal I haven't seen 1000x! I love this.
I don't believe this design falls safely under the Stop Sign Rule. You can figure out if text is incidental or not if when you take it away the design still makes sense. If you take all the text out of this design, you could imply with just as much ease that haxrox meant this to be a weather forecast. Woot!, if you are going to make rules, please be specific and follow up on them.
I love the brilliant colors against the gray on this shirt. GMV.

Love the idea! GMV.

I would definitely buy this.

llo! My husband owns the Pocket Fishman shirt and loves it. I need to add this one to his collection as well

Great shirt- this deserves more votes! GMV at least.
Awesome shirt, hilarious design, poor color choice.
