Geezer rock bands aren't the only ones offering full-album shows these days. Case in point: Blink-182, the San Diego-spawned punk trio of Mark Hoppus (above), Tom DeLonge and Travis Barker.
After turning up at radio festivals north and south of L.A., the group has finally announced local dates, Nov. 6-7 at the Hollywood Palladium, but with a twist: to commemorate the 10th anniversary of its self-titled fifth album, Blink will play all 14 tracks of that disc, plus more hits. Tickets, $49.50, go on sale Friday, Oct. 25, at 10 a.m.
Armin Van Buuren: The Dutch trance master, who this year ranked second on DJ Magazine's Top 100 DJs poll, may wind up the first electronic dance music (or EDM) star to play the newly renovated Forum in Inglewood, as his Armin Only: Intense World Tour arrives at the arena May 9. Tickets, $39.50-$99.50, are on sale Monday at 10 a.m.
Ennio Morricone: The celebrated film-composing legend, best known for his scores to Sergio Leone's classic Westerns, tried once before to give his first-ever Los Angeles performance at the Hollywood Bowl in October 2009 but canceled just days ahead of his arrival. Hopefully this time he will make it here, as the Italian maestro, who turns 85 next month, has planned another attempt, March 20 at the smaller Nokia Theatre. Tickets, $59.75-$350, become available Friday at 10 a.m.
Dwight Yoakam: The country maverick's itinerary has come full circle.

Also headed there is another country star, Rodney Carrington, who turns up Jan. 17 ($40-$45), as well as long-running Long Beach groove outfit War, who headline Dec. 27 ($35-$50). All of those shows are on sale Friday at noon.
New Year's Eve: Add two more names, the Goo Goo Dolls and Capital Cities, to the list of acts offering Dec. 31 gigs locally. Johnny Rzeznik and the former group, still touring behind June release Magnetic, will play that night at House of Blues Sunset Strip, with general-admission access starting at $130 and VIP dinner-and-drinks packages priced at $180-$210.
Much more affordable is the NYE gig from the latter L.A. indie-pop outfit, which will party at the Observatory in Santa Ana, $50. Both shows go on sale Friday at 10 a.m.
Common: The Chicago rapper has booked dates at both nearby House of Blues venues, Dec. 29 in Anaheim, $47.50, and Dec. 30 in West Hollywood, $49.50. Also hitting up both spots is Savoy on its Get Lazer'd Tour, Feb. 7 in Anaheim, $17.50, and Feb. 8 on the Sunset Strip, $20. All of those are on sale Friday at 10 a.m.
Circa Survive: Anthony Green and the rest of this once-emo, post-hardcore group are promising special guests, rarities and more when they play Dec. 28 at the Shrine Expo Hall near USC. Tickets, $29.50 in advance, $33 day of show, are on sale now.
The Cult: Ian Astbury & Co.'s Electric Tour, for which they are reviving their 1987 album of the same name in full, returns Dec. 21 to invade the Fox Theater in Pomona, $31, on sale Friday at 10 a.m.

The Three O'Clock: Favorite of L.A.'s Paisley Underground scene in the '80s, this revived outfit will warm up for its Fonda Theatre show on Dec. 6 alongside fellow jangle-rockers the Bangles and the Dream Syndicate with a gig at Santa Ana's Constellation Room on Dec. 3, $15, on sale Friday at 10 a.m. Also new there: Wheeland Brothers, Nov. 16, $10; Channel West Coast, Dec. 14, $15; and Delorean, Feb. 8, $15.
And on the main Observatory stage: Dub Police, Dec. 13, $10; and Trivium with DevilDriver, Dec. 15, $25.
Tribal Seeds: The San Diego reggae band has landed a Wiltern gig for Jan. 10, with Through the Roots opening, $15-$25, on sale now.
Lord Huron: The increasingly popular L.A. folk-rock band has added a second show to its run at the Fonda Theatre in Hollywood. Tickets for March 1 are still available, while those for the new date, Feb. 28, go on sale Friday at noon, $22.50 for either performance.

A new discussion board experience is coming this September!
After 10 years, we're upgrading our discussion board to a new modern system. The new forum will be easier to use, mobile-friendly and loaded with new features! We'll be taking all of the existing posts and users over to the new board, you won't have to do anything. If you have any questions, we've started a thread here to discuss.
The late rains this year must have produced the largest ones I have every encountered. Any ideas as to enjoy the evening with these pests? It occured to me: Why didn't Noah swat those two mosquitoes?
Mmmm We don't really have Mosquitoes in Phoenix but we have lots of HEAT!
How about those new things that you put on a belt? Can't remember the name but they have been advertising them on TV. Check at Home Depot. Glad we don't have them, but then again, too hot to sit outside. We will have them in Milwaukee!! Along with high humidity.
You could always hang a bat house and hope that they come and gobble them up! I love bats.
Lainy....I will check into the belt thing. Kris, there are bats around our house also however, they must be stuffed due to the high food supply. Bats really are quite cute however, they are not cute enough to be flying around me. But at least they don't nibble on you.
Thanks to both of you,
I usually click "Show recent posts" when visiting the boards. How nice to see an off-topic question!
We have an an enormous supply of mosquitos in our area. One thing we've found that helps is airflow. We bring out my husband's garage fan to the deck and turn it to oscillate. The breeze is usually enough to keep them away from us, as long as we're within 5 or 6 feet of the fan.
Also, eliminating standing water, their breeding ground. Not just obvious places like buckets or poor drainage areas in your yard. They can breed in clogged gutters, the saucers under potted plants, standing water under a crawl space, tarps, even in the kids' toys strewn about the yard. As long as you can empty the standing water (like in pot saucers) about twice a week, the baby bloodsuckers won't have a chance to hatch.
I can attest to the effectiveness of the belt thing. I attach it and go around the yard and anywhere else with NO BITES! It's a miracle! It has a small fan in it and works like a charm!
Thanks Kimmie and Pam: I will purchase a fan and the belt thing. I wanted to stay away from the body spray. Here we have these wonderful summer evenings and are forced to stay indoors due to these pests. I do have two fountains on the property however, I make sure to turn them on. Plus, I add bleach. Off to the store I go.
Thanks again,
We don't have mosquito's here in Scotland, nor do we really have the heat! But we do have the dreaded Midges, pronounced Midgees here in Scotland, especially so in the Highlands and in the West Coast. Most annoying they are when they attack you, especially as they do it with vast numbers!
Best wishes,
Aaahhh, Scotland - it's our dream to travel there one day, midges and all. My husband and I were looking into it about 13 years ago, then what do you know - I found out I was pregnant. Three pregnancies and two children later, still haven't had the time (or money) to make it over there.
My husband's family is certain they have Scottish heritage - the Shaw Clan. This is based on family oral history since we've been unable to "officially" prove it with any sort of census data, immigration records, etc. Believe me, I've been trying for over 3 years with genealogy research!
Regardless, he and the family have been very involved in the local Scottish Festival in Annapolis over the years. My husband even has a kilt, which I love! If we could just talk my father-in-law into taking the DNA test, there's a large database of Shaw DNA info to cross-reference and prove once and for all. Until then, we go on faith!
Sorry, off topic...
Your post was absolutely wonderful! It did bring to mind taking long walks on the Highlands. My fathers family was from the Yorkshire, England area and I have proven Irish genealogy as well, but I have not found any Scottish descent as of yet!
Your midges sound very much like our mosquitos, but not as bothersome. Our mosquitos would leave quite a welt on you if you are bitten without slapping them away or using some kind of repellent. The midges sound more like biting gnats, which still can be a nuisance. I would love the chance to be able to say "I survived the midges". Some day. I have relatives in England, so maybe one day I'll get over there. I love the history of an older country and the legends that come with it.
Marion, thanks so much for this post. It was a nice breath of fresh air (hopefully without those mosquitos!) In the midwest, at least we have a break from them when the weather turns colder, but then that's another story (snow).
Take care all and try not to get bit.
I believe we have gnats also. Something else Noah did not swat.
While I am at it: Deer. Babies, Mommies and Bucks; all consider my yard to be the great dining room.
As soon as California becomes the Golden State (the hills turn brown) deer look for food. Additionally, much of the open land has been planted with grapes allowing even less room for grazing. So, they flog to my yard. (Well, my neighbors complain also, but not as much as I do.) And, deer change their diet according to need. Never before had the attacked the 'Agapanthus. They devour the blooms only leaving large, empty stems as a stark reminder of flowers once had. They also have the audacity of chomping on a piece of fruit and spitting out the rest. My yard is scattered with half eaten apples, pears and plums. Why don
A mountain lion?!! Gosh.
Here in Yorkshire our biggest complaint is the rain (which is fairly mild, never much more then drizzle), and slugs and snails in the garden.
Driving over to the lake district last week my partner said 'we don't really excel in anything here do we?'. Such a British thing to say.
At his parents house in france they suffer with flies - they use an 'executioner' which is like an electrified tennis racket. I find it really macabre, but the men seem to love it.
Here in Ohio we have deer, mosquitos, coyotes, black bear are moving in , flies, snails, slugs. high humidity, either too much rain or not enough... my kids always ask ,"why do we live here?" But I really do love it here from April through Oct., then I would really like to follow my favorite bird, the barn swallow, to Costa Rica for the winter. We are in the country too Marion and the deer, for the first time in 20 years have discovered our pumpkins. They eat one bite out of the biggest ones then move on. We used the stinky repellent last year too. It did work. We have lots of bats during the night eating skeeters and the barn swallows eat them all day so we are always in good shape 'til the swallows leave in Sept. Then we notice a big difference.
Hey, guys and gals, we have a moutnain lion that has been roaming the area for a month now.They can't find it, except that it has been seen. Then, about 3 weeks ago a baby bear was found in our division sleeping on someones back patio! Coyote roam like dogs and we also have Javelinas. I keep saying they have a right to be here, we took their domain over. Just please don't be here when I am outside!
You know it has never crossed my mind before, that if Noah had left all those nasty-bitey-things behind when the Ark set sail, I wouldn't suffer as I do every year. I was viciously attacked in my sleep last night & the bites are starting to go septic (as they always do with me ); I swear I was set upon by a veritable HOARD of nasty-bitey-things with tiny little bodies, tiny, tiny little wings ... & absolutely ENORMOUS teeth ...
Missouri is quite similiar to Ohio weather and outdoor creatures. I love all four seasons, here in Missouri. I love the outdoors and will do everything in my power to be out there. We do alot of outdoor activities. Camping and backpacking in the national forest, canoe the beauitful clear streams, bike ride and hike the many trails. Missouri is a great place to explore. So, I must be prepared for the pest.
At home on the back deck, back patio and front porch, I have Citronilla, Lavender, and Marigolds plants in containers. They all repel mosquites, and smell wonderful. These plants help alot. Using a fan, always help. When we are exploring the outdoors, I can't bring my plants. I cannot use the bug repellent with deet in it. My skin turns red and I look like a lobster. I found a bug repellant that has 'picardin' in it, which works like deet. Now I only use this stuff, if the mosquites are really bad. What I use normally is a body wash and lotion with lavender in it. Like the baby brand. Smells alot better than the bug repellants and the mosquitoes leave me alone. There is a biodegradable soap I use when we are camping, that has the lavender in it, as well as citronilla and eucalyptus. This stuff is great. I tried to get my husband to use it, but noooo, because of the lavender, he wouldln't use it. Can't imagine why, it's not that strong of a smell. So, I found another bidegradable soap, that helps with mosquites and husbands sensibilities. This soap has peppermint in it and is also a bug repellant. My husband is a happy camper again. He hates mosquites. He looks like a budda, when we are sitting outside or camping. He has this ring of citronilla candles surrounding him. Who needs a campfire in the woods, when you can see my budda man a mile away. We will never be in the dark. Outside the house, we also have a Martin bird house. Martin birds love mosquitoes too. I know there are some plants as well as the liquid pest control for deer. I believe in the long run, the liquid works the best for deer.
We have all kinds of funs creatures we share the great outdoors with. Black beers have been brought back to the Midwest - Ozark region. I seen one and have heard them on several occassion in the middle of the night camping. They only have gotten close enough to smell around for while. We don't leave any food or coolers out at night. Plus we have a dog, the bear probably smells too. No encounters with a bear so far. My Son saw a mountain lion, close to the St. Louis area, while hiking on a trail. So, they are around too. Hear coyotes often at home and when we are camping.
One of my favorite bug is the 'firefly', lightening bugs. They are so cool, I could watch them all night long. I understand that, Ireland, England and Scotland, does not have fireflies. It is because of not having humidity. We have humidity, therefore fireflies. Well, that's all I know for now. Great subject, Marions. Thanks!
Kimmie, Linda,
You would both love Scotland, midges and all! Of course if you came in the winter then you wouldn't have to deal with them at that time! Some of our scenery here is amazing and if you like history then there are loads of historical sights to see and visit. I wore a kilt once to a friends wedding where I was the best man, it was the only time I've worn one and it was most enjoyable.
Marion, Marylloyd and Lainy,
Wow! Coyotes, deer, bears and lions!!! Sounds like you all live in zoos!! I was through in Edinburgh zoo a few weeks ago and that is as close as we get to wild animals like that! Although we do have lots of deer here up north, an awful lot of them!
Ouch! I'm sure they really did have enormous teeth, and there were hoards of them!!!!
Best wishes all,
This is wonderful hearing about all the different areas you live in.
I do remember Avon's Skin-so-Soft. It seemed that more people actually used it for mosquito control than for the bath oil that it was. I thought they came out with a repellent a while ago too because of the success of the Skin-so-Soft.
Katja, I thought the Lake District was supposed to be quite beautiful. What do you mean you "don't excel" in anything! Also the "executioner" sounds like playing badmitton with flies instead of "birdies".
I've used the stinky spray for the deer. The smell dissipates after a short time, but the effects are supposed to last for quite a while. I made the mistake of using it on a windy day one time. My windows were open and it filled the house with that nasty odor. The next day, I hardly noticed it outside, but my hosta plants and other flowers were left alone (so far). Time to re-spray I'm afraid though.
Gavin, bringing up the kilt reminded me of the movie Braveheart. Not something I am proud of historically for the British (having quite a lot of British descent myself), but such a scenic movie. Don't know if it was actually filmed in Scottland, but I thought it was. I collected castles for quite a number of years too (haven't in a while though), so I loved seeing the scenery.
Thanks all for sharing. This was terrific.
Disclaimer (Gavin!):I'm talking about England here and not the UK...
I think that started from me saying something about how beautiful it was and incredible the Lake District is. He pointed that the highest mountain in England is not even 1000m, the largest lake, windermere, is only 11 miles long and the lake district is really small on a world scale. We spent a happy few minutes trying to think of something that we have that's mindblowing - all our wildlife is on a similarly mediocre scale...!
A mountain lion would be incredible - even our deer are shy and seeing one is like a real event. In France we encountered a hornet's nest - not something I'm keen on repeating, although no one got stung.
I love this thread!
I love the wonderful information given. What a great group of people you are.
I remember my mother visiting from Germany and her astonishment of the multitude of wild life in this area.
She especially loved the raccoons and would watch them eat the cat food. How lovely. Problem is, they multiply and bring the entire family for dinner. And, they can be quite vicious. Once they tried to attack the dog. (She was protecting her meal.)
Coyotes are abundant here. One seemed to befriend our Labrador. How cute is that? That is understandable; she is a wonderful dog. Well, we were told that coyotes stalk the prey and then call the others to attack. Not so cute anymore; hence the reason for the dog to stay inside at nights.
Mountain lions rarely attack humans, but they go after life stock or even after dogs. If you should ever encounter a mountain lion the number one rule is to "make yourself appear big." Good advise however, I know that I would prefer to shrink into nothing should it ever happen to me.
Oh, and then there are the skunks. They are nocturnal and really cute to look at however; watch for the tail. If it goes up you are in for quite an experience. It took 4 large cans of tomato juice to wash of the smell of our dog.
Possums: I believe they are instinctively suicidal. They love to run under your car tires and get smashed leaving you with a horrible feeling of guilt and remorse for driving the car in the first place.
One of my neighbors is a bird watcher. She counted 400 different species of birds. This is quite spectacular however, I swear that most of them nest under the eves of my house, which happens to be on the market and demands to be in pristine condition for the showings. Cute when the hatchlings first try to fly at times, straight into the window. Not so cute when you have to wash of bird droppings several times per week.
Gophers: why do the dig up the dirt in the most pristine portion of the property, the lawn? And, how come they don
Amazing the way all these varied animals love the cat biscuits.We have a few animals here,possums ,wallabies,flying foxes and once I saw an echidna walk through the back yard,that was exciting.We have snakes too ,all kinds but the big pythons are lovely to look at.We also have some great lizards in the backyard,blue tongues and dragon lizards.Fabulous birds! ....kookaburras,cockatoos,king parrots and down at the beach,dolphins,fairy penguins,seals but we do suffer with the mozzies in summer too! Janet
Hi Marion. I just read that rule last week about Mountain Lions. Make yourself to appear big. My first thought was now, how are Teddy & I going to do that????
The theory of making yourself look big to a lion is sort of like the same advice I heard if you happen to be charged at by a rhino. I saw a program where the guy said to just stand still as rhino's are pretty blind and they should just charge right past you.... Not a theory I would like to put to the test having just seen 2 rhinos pretty close up at the zoo a few weeks ago! They only weighed about 2.5 tonnes each!
So if anyone happens to get charged by a rhino.... stand your ground! And good luck with that!
Linda, I think a lot of Braveheart was filmed in Ireland due to tax reasons given by the Irish Govt. Which was a shame as we have some of the most spectacular scenery in the world here. If you were to fly into Edinburgh airport and drive north for only 10 minutes or so then you would see the start of this and it only gets better the further north you go. Plus the areas of the Highlands and the West Coast are very sparcely populated and you could go for miles and not see any houses at all.
And they don't have rattle snakes to deal with up there!
Best wishes all,
We live about 2 minutes off a main highway, 5 miles from the Maryland State House, and 25 miles from Washington DC. Yet daily we see dozens of white tail deer, squirrels galore, a family of red foxes, dozens of species of song birds (the pileated woodpeckers and little yellow finches are my favorite), hawks, ospreys, the occasional bald eagle, snakes (the garden variety), and these cute little black and blue lizards. At night the possum and racoons come out, the latter being very brazen and seemingly undeterred by human presence. The bugs aren't my favorite, especially the Japanese Beetles that deflowered my tomato plants this year. But like Christine, I love to watch the fireflies at night. It's like a fireworks display right in my own back yard. Not to mention being 5 minutes off the Chesapeake Bay and the abundant life there.
Although we live in an old, established, wooded community with properties of 1/2 to 1 acre, I love that we see all this wildlife. Especially considering how close we are to major metropolitan areas. My husband and I always talk about how lucky we are, and how sad it is that some neighbors complain about the wildlife. They aren't dangerous to humans! Although the deer are dangerous to my hostas...

Evolution Hoax
Now, take a deep breath!
Who knows? This may be your last breath on this Earth...
Because you never know when death, which nobody can escape, will come to you.
But it will come suddenly, and very probably at a moment you never expect. So what preparations have you made for this event, from which there can be no return?
In a hundred years or so, almost all the people currently in the world will be dead.
And you will be with all those people that you knew and loved and the others that you did not.
Because the moment of your death is drawing closer with every tick of the watch on your wrist or the clock on your wall …
The number of days, hours and minutes remaining to everyone watching this film is already firmly fixed.
And the countdown is continuing at every moment.
And the inescapable moment will eventually arrive, and the countdown will end …
The heart that beat for so many years will stop…
…and you will breathe your last breath…
Death will arrive.
And with death begins a person's eternal and true life in the hereafter.
Everyone will be resurrected after death with a brand-new creation and will have to give account in the presence of Allah.
People must know that everything in this world is temporary. But Allah iseternal.
Everyone on it [the earth] will pass away;
but the Face of your Lord will remain, Master of Majesty and Generosity. (Suratar-Rahman, 26-27)
Everyone makes endless plans for his own life.
But none of these plans are certain to come about.
You may not enter the profession you had been intending to join since childhood.
You may have promised to meet someone for dinner, yet you may not get there.
There is no guarantee you will even be able to watch the end of this film.
There is only one event that is certain to happen in this world.
Death is the only thing you can be sure will happen in this world.
Every self will taste death. Then you will be returned to Us. (Surat al-'Ankabut, 57)
A student who spent years working hard to get into university may die on his way to school.
Or someone who has just found a new job may die on his way to it...
A successful businessman may choose to fly to get to his destination earlier.
But the plane may crash and his life come to a totally unexpected end.
A few hours, one day, one year or seventy years...
But one certain thing is that all mortal things must one day come to an end.
And in all likelihood, death will come to you at a moment you never even thought of death a minute before.
Someone attending this funeral will one day be in the same position as the person being buried.
Life is short but, by Allah's choosing, the human soul will live for all eternity.
Compared to all eternity, life of a mere 60-70 years is very short and transitory.
Everyone, celebrities whom the whole world admired for their physical beauty, artists, movie stars and politicians, everyone, rich or poor, will eventually be buried all alone when they die.
May Allah protect us from the cursed satan.
You have come to Us all alone just as We created you at first, leaving behind you everything We bestowed on you... (Surat al-An'am, 94)
This film may perhaps...
Be a last warning...
To remind you of death...
And encourage you to think about the hereafter

Mark Dampier is enjoying the move by hedge funds into the retail investment market via Ucits III. The head of research at Hargreaves Lansdown was wary of absolute return funds when they first appeared. I spoke to him when BlackRock (then Merrill Lynch Investment Management) launched its Absolute Alpha fund in 2006, and he said he would wait to see if it worked before making any judgements.
Lower risk funds "have to be bang on right", he said at the time.
Now, he is a fan, with the caveat that the absolute return sector is a mixed bag and some funds are difficult to analyse. The BlackRock fund "did what it said on the tin", he reckons.

Windows 8 Early Adoption is Well Behind Pace Set by Windows 7

(Source: ComputerWorld)
Windows 8 not at popular as Windows 7 so far
Microsoft has
a lot riding on Windows 8 operating system
. The software giant is hoping that Windows 8 will bring a slew of consumers upgrading from older computers and older versions of its operating system. Microsoft is also betting that Windows 8 will get a
strong foothold in the tablet market as well
So far, users are currently five times less likely to be running Windows 8 as they were Windows 7 at the same point before its launch. The new statistics come from research firm Net Applications and indicate a lukewarm reception of the Windows 8 operating system by consumers.
Windows 7 was a follow-up to Windows Vista, which was one of the more maligned versions of Microsoft's operating system in recent years. Windows 7 lured many upgraders not only from Vista, but from the older XP operating system as well. Windows 8 doesn't have the luxury of following an unloved version of Windows like Windows 7.
The statistics offered by Net Applications only count computer users who installed preview versions of Windows 8 and preview versions of Windows 7. The statistics are believed to provide a clear indication of consumer interest in the operating system rather than a desire or need for new computer hardware.
In September, only 0.33% of all computers using Windows relied on Windows 8. That works out to 33 out of every 10,000 Windows machines using Windows 8. By the end of September 2009, with very similar time remaining before the launch of Windows 7, the operating system accounted for 1.64% of all Windows PCs working out to 164 out of every 10,000 units.
Analysts are beginning to believe that Microsoft won't see the uptick in OS sales that it hoped for with Windows 8. Gartner recently advised clients that it predicts the operating system would top out at only 20 to 25% share in the corporate environment.
Windows 8
went RTM in August and will launch this month.
"There's no chance that the iPhone is going to get any significant market share. No chance." -- Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer

Compared to last week's sharply lower market, feeder cattle and calves traded unevenly steady and mostly within a range of 3.00 lower to 3.00 higher. Receipts were much lighter, early in the week because of the lower price levels and late in the week due to the huge winter storm the covered the entire central portion of the United States.
Some bottom-side support was found in auction markets through Wednesday, especially on 600-800 lb long-weaned calves and light yearlings with a condition that would allow them to perform well on any type ration whether it be in a feedlot, growing yard, or on pasture. However, pressure still looms over the market with neither buyers nor sellers content and about the only market participant satisfied is someone who sold cattle over two weeks ago and forgot to lift their hedges.
Lightweight stocker calf prices were very uneven depending on local moisture conditions and the cattle's readiness for the approaching storm, but markets were predominantly higher across the Delta regions of the Southeast. Heavier yearling feeders weighing over 800 lbs found few friends with the continued erosion of the CME cattle futures and few options to achieve affordable weight gains on these types. The late week winter storm ground marketing to a halt with snowfall measurements of up to a foot recorded from the Texas Panhandle all the way to Nebraska and Iowa with nearly all of the Five Area Feeding Region adversely affected.
Many buyers pulled out of the market by mid-week and many large volume auction markets were canceled, including Pratt and Salina, Kansas and Valentine, Nebraska on Thursday. A very light fed cattle trade was reported early in the week in the Southern Plains feedlot areas at 123.00 which was steady. Northern areas continued inactive until late Friday when dressed sales were reported 2.00 higher at 198.00 with the help of the snowstorm which frequently improves packer demand.
Friday's cattle-on-feed report restored our faith in the industry analysts with the February 1st inventories notched at 93.8 percent of a year ago. January placements were slightly larger than expected at 101.6 percent, but this was mostly offset by marketings that also came in above forecasts at 105.6 percent of the same time in 2012. This week's reported auction volume included 54 percent over 600 lbs and 42 percent heifers.

Mesh is too wide By Brian on 8/18/2017Brian wouldn't recommend this product to a friendFish can jump through this 1/4 netting. Are you not aware of this BRS? A quick internet search will show you how common this is. Something should be said about this in the description. I lost a firefish and a juvenile clownfish. The fish couldn't have gone in a worse way than being trapped on top of the net under the light looking down at the water. Something meant to keep fish safe and in the tank, did the exact opposite.
Good Kit By Roger Reefer on 4/17/2017Roger Reefer would recommend this product to a friendSimple to use; impossible to get the mesh taught and the frame square. Not bad for the price. Simple to assemble and does prevent fishacide
Easy to follow, quick setup. By TribalJeebus on 1/4/2017TribalJeebus would recommend this product to a friendThe product itself is a great idea. It comes with everything you need to make your screen top (you WILL need to buy the clips seperate fyi) . It does exactly what it is supposed to do and you should be able to build your screen in about 10min unless you have to alter it for fit. That brings me to my only real complaints. I ordered the 24x24 top kit but it is actually 25.5" x 25.5" so it requires precise cuts on each side to make it fit. Not a big deal to most but for some that could be an issue. I gave it 4 instead of 5 stars based solely on value. The product is extremely overpriced IMO. Nothing you do will make this top look like a $40 top! But it gets the job done and you always receive great support/service from BRS making it your best option.
Light weight but non-rectangle shapes are impossible By Tony on 11/29/2016Tony would recommend this product to a friendI wanted to make the screen around my overflow but found that to be impossible to keep the screen taunt. The minute you put pressure on the screen to keep it taunt, the pressure pushes the rails in and distorts the shape. This is especially pronounced with a larger size aquarium.
I would say stick to rectangle shapes to make this work well.
Excellent By Gb on 10/11/2016Gb would recommend this product to a friendIts lightweight, easy to move about, and very easy to assemble. They gave much More than enough netting and I would gladly recommend this screen top.
Great Product By John on 9/5/2016John would recommend this product to a friendassembly was easy, components were of good quality, and the finished product looks great. One suggestion is to take your time and you will get a real professional result.
Works great By Jim on 6/21/2016Jim would recommend this product to a friendEasier than I thought to put together. Works well. Looks good on my redsea tank
Great Product By Erin on 6/18/2016Erin would recommend this product to a friendWas a little worried that this would be difficult for me to put together (I'm not very handy), but was pleasantly surprised at how easy it was to put together. Used a hack saw to cut the pieces to size. Spline roller made it incredibly easy to make the screen secure. Love the way it looks on my rimless tank. You can't even see it!
Good Product By DAF on 6/12/2016DAF would recommend this product to a friendEasy and does the job. Not the best looking thing but you barely see it even on rimless. Good product
Real easy to put together By Neil on 4/26/2016Neil would recommend this product to a friendWould recommend to anyone

This is the first in-depth book to shed light on a mysterious race known as the Nephilim and to provide evidence of who built the pyramids of Egypt and Mexico, as well as the other great monuments of ancient history.
This is the first book to shed light on the dark forces which roamed the earth in those primeval times and will once again be at large during the coming Apocalypse, with the purpose of visiting mass destruction on an unsuspecting world. This book also demonstrates why the builders of the ancient world chose the pyramid shape, and it links this to a prophecy which was written almost 2,000 years ago, which is still unfulfilled.

"Made a believer out of me"
This audiobook ranks in the top 3 books I have listened to so far.
I appreciated the authentic presentation of facts and the well thought out implications of the authors material. I concluded that this was indeed a very plausible view which I had before written off as fiction.
Patrick Herons performance was excellent and his personal reading added to the impact of the audiobook. You could hear more than words. You could hear the man, his conviction and passion yet without any sensationalism.
I listened to the whole book in one setting as I drove from Reno Nevada to Palm Springs.
Well thought out book with real research and facts devoid of sensationalism. It stands on its own.
"Always been meaning to research this one ..."
Over the years I have known about the Nephilim and spoken to people who offered up their views and opinions - all of them very subjective and clearly un-researched. The pyramids were another one of those "problems". We know they exist but just how did works of such complexity and magnificence come about? Patrick Heron offers a great explanation of both in this excellent work.
I found the book to offer just the right amount of anticipation and as promised, does indeed deliver explanations which are both plausible and believable other than the "just so" line we often are expected to be satisfied with.
I will not give anything away other than to say, once you have read this book, you will look at the parts of history covered in this book, in a totally new light.
"Interesting at first, but down hill fast"
Was looking for more insight into the Nephilim but this was not the right read in my opinion. The first part of the book dug into the scripture relevant to the Nephilim and other mentions of giant people including Goliath that the author made argument for being ancestors of the Nephilim and it was palatable. He argues that depictions on ancient manuscripts and engravings of half man / half animal monstrosity were the makings of this race as well and that the flood was intended to wipe them off the face of the earth. In the end he makes the stretch that the pyramids were all created by Satan and the Nephilim to mock the heavenly domain on Earth and made his predictions for the end times. Difficult at best to build some resemblance of proof in his far fetched ideas but even giving him credit for that hard tasks this really seemed to be reaching and jumping to unjustified conclusions.
"Excellent Book For Nephilim & Revelation Studies"
Dr. Heron does an excellent job in describing the connection of Fallen Angels (Nephilim) to ancient mythology as well as future events described in the book of Revelation. Dr. Heron takes you on a stunning and mind-blowing ride through the Bible as he uses evidence from Scripture, science, mathematics, Biblical astronomy, and ancient writings (Book of Enoch, in particular) to explain the role of Fallen Angels and their impact on mankind in the ancient world and their role for the future Tribulation. Have you been taught all your life, or at least assumed (as I did until recently), that ancient mythologies were born in the minds of storytellers, fantasizing powerful and unnatural deities, just to please the ears of their peers? We have been expected to believe that there were races of people in ancient times who held the abilities to calculate precise measurements and constructions, that exceed even today's technology; who had an undeniable, almost divine, understanding of astronomy; but yet, they believed in unnatural beings based on just imagination...much less not have enough knowledge to invent the wheel? Not so! Dr. Heron explains in this book how mankind was deceived by the Fallen Angels and how they influenced mankind with their knowledge and abilities, using great power, so that the people of this earth mistakened them for gods. Not only do we find the answers to the hows-and-whys ancient mythologies came about, but now we also know how those powerful and mind-blowing structures, such as the The Great Pyramid of Giza, were constructed through the divine processes of the Nephilim.

I also found the explanations of future Nephilim activity to be logical and solid. If you read this book, you will become much clearer on how the Anti-Christ receives his power and why some of the visions that John saw in the book of Revelation are really literal, and and not figurative, like many Christians believe most of his visions are.

If you have always wondered about the ancient mysteries involving mythologies and structures, and/or how the Beast from the Abyss will be able to set up his rule and persuade an entire world to follow him, then this book will amaze you with its content.
There are so many, but two stood out to me the most:

1) The explanation of Biblical astronomy and how it played a part in the ancient world before it was corrupted by Satan and turned into what we know today as Astrology.

2) Not only who the Anti-Christ is, but who he was.
This was my first book by Dr. Heron, but it will not be my last. The book was laid out beautifully and did not skip around as to confuse the reader. It is difficult to write on End Time prophecies as there is so much involved in citing sources, interpreting and explaining scripture, and keeping it structured so that reader will not get lost. I feel Dr. Heron did a wonderful job on this volume. I am looking forward to reading his other materials as well as listening to his interviews as they are made available online.
As I read deeper into the book, I began to gain a greater understanding of how this world (the ones who do not know Christ) will be able to be deceived by the Anti-Christ. I think people fall into this false sense of security in thinking they will be able to recognize and resist the evil that will fall upon the earth in the latter days just by using their own power. This book really helped me to understand just how much the great deception of the latter days will hook people who do not know the Saviour, Jesus Christ. I feel a more urgent desire now to not only learn more about what is coming, but to work harder to share Jesus Christ and give people a better understanding of what is about to come upon the Earth.
You will quickly come to the conclusion that Dr. Heron is a serious researcher and will constantly use Scripture, above anything else, to back up his statements. This is one of the many things that impressed me about Dr. Heron. So many authors and commentators will state their belief system on 2nd, 3rd, and 4th generations of conclusions. Dr. Heron gives you what he believes and backs it up with the Bible. So, if you think that believing Fallen Angels mated with mankind; that giant demigods once roamed the earth; that the Beast once occupied the ancient world; would require a hefty imagination supplemented with fantasy...then you must read this book, because Dr. Heron proves these events were, and will be, real based on what the Bible teaches us. Whether you are already a believer in Christ, or someone who is still searching for the truth in the End Times, this book will mesmerize you and make you hungry for more of Christ's teachings and to learn what the Bible teaches us about what is to come.
"Like a tract"
I was expecting true research. I got a bunch of scripture used as "facts" to back up other scripture. Skip this one if you aren't up for a conversion.
"A clarity into the unknown"
Amazing! Breathtaking! Comforting! These are the words that comes to mind as I finished listening to this wonderful book.
Comparing this book to any other book is like trying to compare that feeling you get when you ride your first roller coaster to taking your first test for school. As nearly impossible as it may seem I can only come up with one other book that can be compared to this scale. It's called "The Return Of The Antichrist And The New World Order." This is one of the few if not only book that goes so in depth into bible study and The Book Of Revelations that you feel a whole new clarity take place in you. If I wasn't already a believer in the Bible and Christ, I would faith just from listening to these books alone. That's how amazing and powerful they are.
I've always loved when the authors Narrates their own books. To hear the changes in the tone of their voice when something excites, saddens, concerns them, or when they become so passionate in their writings and beliefs that you can feel it move you as it moves them. That's what I love most when listening to this book.
When you're watching a movie or a T.V. show and the main character finally realizes the conflict and everything becomes clear. That's how you will feel when you listen to this. Like there is a problem in your life, and all of a sudden it becomes crystal clear how to solve it or what's causing it, and you feel this huge relief and comfort come over you. That's how this book will make you feel. It's a wonderful awakening to so many answers, to so many questions.
When I read Patrick Herons first book Apocalypse Soon, it was like coming across a hot spring on a cold winters night, and putting my toes in, and feeling a rush come across my body. Well reading The Nephilim and the Pyramid of the Apocalypse was like jumping into that hot spring and submerging myself into this wonderful feeling all over.

Have you ever watched a movie and wondered what the heck did I just watch, and wish you could get a manual explaining what just happened? well my friends this is the manual to that movie. This is the dictionary to those words you don't understand. This book helps reveal the most hidden knowledge in plain sight, and is meant to help gain a better understanding. I will always recommend this book to family friends and loved ones who wish to have a better clarity of the bible and its greatest teachings. Please do yourselves a favor, and just listen, to gain what this book has to offer.

Thank you Dr. Patrick Heron for these wonderful words that have brought so much to so many.
"Superstition and Scripture used as Fact"
First off, if you believe in the Hebrew text, in the word of God, as fact and believe that the ancient humans, who "haven't yet even created the wheel," could never in a million years build the pyramids, then this is the book for you.
If you honestly believe in such things you may enjoy what Patrick Heron has to say. He points to the Hebrew text over and over again to exemplify what he is saying. If you know your bible and want to know an interesting theory on those that really built the Pyramids, and other ancient monuments, when you truly believe they could never have been made by human kind, you might enjoy this and find it insightful.
On the other hand, if you do not, you might not want to waste a credit on this. When I can buy a book worth (+)$20 on audible for the same credit I would go for the (+)$20 book that has some actual fact to back it up, or for a piece of fiction that doesn't try to portray itself as fact. Granted, if you have $5 to spend and want to laugh at a theory that is only backed up by the scripture and untrue history, it might almost be worth it.
Patrick Heron uses a plethora of scripture to back up what he has to say. Based on no real historic fact, superstition and speculation runs rampant within this book. He points out "facts" such as, angels coming down to have relations with human women which created giants, whom were ultimately all killed off, starting with the slain of Goliath by David.
If you can see this as fact, then you will love the rest of his "facts" as they only get more detailed and more brazen from there. He jumps from one speculation to another, with no real methodology at first. One moment he is talking about the flood, the next he is talking about Adam and Eve. I have not yet reached the end of this interesting tale, but I sure can't wait for it. It has already been strongly suggested that he believes to some degree that God, or some supernatural entity, has made the pyramids and other "unexplainable" monuments for a greater purpose. I can't wait to hear the conclusion.
Overall, unless you feel scripture and speculation is historic fact, then the only thing this book is good for is a good laugh. Honestly, as a sane human being all you can do is laugh, for if you think that some people might actually believe what Patrick Heron is saying, you may just cry.
They way that Mr. Heron connects the Nephilim and the Pyramids.
Who the Nephilim where and what happened to them
His voice
Giants of Egypt,who were they? where did they go?...and are they coming Back?
A very interesting book, full of information on whom and what the Nephilim were and where they are now.
"priceless information"
Everyone should read this book
Return of the antichrist by Patrick heron
All of it
"Very Informative and well referanced"
I am rereading and taking notes. Amazing information referanced clearly with historical facts and biblical parallels along with illustrations and important revelations. Awesome book.
"Started off well enough"
No. The story told by Mr. Heron started off well enough, with lots of interesting and thought provoking information; however, the tale soon turned into little more than a personal religious crusade on his part, with whole passages devoted to a doctrinal diatribe against the infidels who are not ruled by any particular religious doctrine, least of all the Christian one!
As above.
yes, learnt things about our ancient history i hadnt heard of before...entire races of people have been erased from our own teachings

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 29/3/2013 (1604 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
The 2011 death of British businessman Neil Heywood in Chongqing, China, was going to be declared an accident by local police.
But Heywood's death was no accident. He had been murdered. The ripples from that crime would cause an international incident and topple some senior Communist leaders.
This valuable book has been ripped from the headlines by journalist and publisher Pin Ho, whose Mingjing News website broke many new developments in the story.
Pin worked for a Chinese government-run newspaper and left in disgust after the Tiananmen Square crackdown of 1989, the Los Angeles Times has reported.
Wenguang Huang is a writer, journalist and translator who recently wrote the memoir The Little Red Guard.
Pin's previous book, China's Princelings, coined that phrase to describe the children of Chinese revolutionaries now in key political and business posts.
Two of those princelings share centre stage: Bo Xilai, the Communist party boss in the city-state of Chongqing and his beautiful but conniving wife, Gu Kailai.
Both had fathers who were Chairman Mao's comrades in arms during the 1949 revolution that brought the Communists to power.
Mao turned on both men during the Cultural Revolution and they and their families were subjected to torture and public humiliation by the Red Guards.
After Mao's death, both their families were rehabilitated, and the two old generals jailed and executed their political friends and opponents with equal alacrity.
Before Heywood's murder, Bo's friends in high places were preparing to usher him onto the exclusive Politburo Standing Committee, the supreme decision-making body for China.
But that was not good enough, according to some. Bo plotted with the head of the state security apparatus, who controls the country's police and courts, to stage a coup.
When Heywood's corpse was discovered in the unlucky (for him) Lucky Holiday Hotel, enter Wang Lijun, local police chief, appointed by Bo.
Wang ordered his investigators to collect all the evidence -- including fingerprints on a water glass -- knowing it would incriminate Bo's wife, Gu. Gu believed Heywood was blackmailing her son.
Then Wang closed the case by declaring Heywood died of alcohol intoxication.
In return for not charging Bo's wife, Wang expected Bo to protect some of Wang's friends from a corruption investigation. Bo responded by slapping Wang.
Wang attempted to defect to a U.S. consulate with damaging information about Bo and his wife. The U.S. refused him asylum, and Bo sent armed police to arrest him.
Wang bargained for a lighter sentence by giving detailed evidence to Beijing investigators about Bo's corruption and Gu's guilt in the Heywood case.
Gu Kailai was tried and convicted of murder, with a suspended death sentence.
As the book went to press, Bo had lost his job and party membership and was awaiting trial on charges of corruption, cronyism, womanizing and complicity in Heywood's murder.
The authors have done an admirable job of sorting through the contradictions, half-truths and outright lies perpetrated by all the players in this drama.
Their careful research and meticulous explanations will help everyone from general readers to veteran China-watchers sort out the meaning of Bo Xilai's rise and fall.

The hiss and crackle of the low quality analog audio connectors has been the bane of my existence as I've been trying to do screencasts, podcasts and voice overs. The natural answer is go all digital, but the run of the mill USB mikes are either really cheap, setup for only a single program, or headsets. None of which do me any good when I have to mike a small conference room, a symposium or any number of events where I'd like to capture the conversation between a group of people. The compromise has traditionally been a small mixing board, a couple of mikes and convert it to unbalanced high impedance stereo miniplug to get the audio into my pc. What I found at VoiceCon in San Francisco was a guy named Mike selling mikes...we had a great conversation about how Marshall Electronics actually is the original equipment manufacturer for several VERY familiar microphones and that a new series of USB mikes were just about ready. He had an engineering prototype with him and we did a Skype test with the two of us standing about 10 feet away from the table in the middle of a VERY noisy exhibit hall. The results were astounding and I told him so as I tried in vain to slip the prototype into my bag.
Specs -
• Frequency Response: 40Hz to 16kHz
• Sampling Rate: 44.1kHz and 48kHz
• Bus Powered
• USB 1.1 and 2.0 Compatible
• 16-bit Delta Sigma A/D Converter with THD+N - 0.01%
• Headphone/Speaker Jack
• Leatherette Travel Zipper Case
• Owners manual
• Applications guide
• No Special Drivers Required
This mike has been available as a low impedance 3 capsule boundary design with 180-degree coverage with an XLR balanced connector, however Marshall has integrated in their USB interface for recording small conference rooms, symposia, etc. In my case I'm hooking this mike up to a Mac laptop running Camtasia Studio so that I can record the speaker and the audience in sync with the power point presentation. The AC-404 is a screencaster's dream mike since I can place this mike at the end of a table and catch everyone in the 180 degree pickup pattern. Just for grins I recorded a meeting at a 20 foot conference table with about a dozen folks spread around it....crystal clear...all I can say is WOW...
Oh yeah, for grins and giggles I've also tried this mike on an HP DV9000 laptop running Windows 7 (yes it recognized the mike immediately, but a reboot before it actually worked. But that's a Windows 7 issue not a Marshall problem) and then an Acer Veriton desktop running Windows XP Pro SP2. So other than the reboot issue on Windows 7, this mike worked flawlessly.
Mike Descher of Marshall Electronics did a bit of testing, click on each link to hear what he recorded:
- AC-404 Guitar Recording up close (MP4 780k)
- AC-404 Guitar Recording with the mike 30 feet away (MP4 1.2meg)
These are real, not edited or changed in any way, recorded on a MacBook Pro using QuickTime Pro with no modifications. Recorded by Mike Descher of MXLMics at Normans Rare Guitars in Tarzana, CA.
I've been tinkering with various types of microphones since high school and these are by far some of the best area mikes I've ever used. My specific application for doing Camtasia Recordings of powerpoint slide shows being presented at symposia is actually a nightmare to mike. In the past I've had to carry in a small mixer and setup both audience and speaker microphones. I'm pretty confident after tinkering with this mike, that I'll now be able to mike up a symposia with just the AC-404 sitting on the table next to the speaker AND still be able to catch the audience questions.
For the Skype aficionado Marshall has a different package called the AC-405 packaged as a ruggedized speaker and mike combo for Skype or other VoIP conference that calls for full duplex audio, with quality you'd expect in a dedicated speaker phone costing thousands of dollars. Don't let the retro look fool you, this is an awesome unit for a very modern problem.
Specs -
• High clarity speaker
• Sensitive directional microphone
• Adjustable flip-up microphone
• Built-in USB cable
• Includes 6' USB extension cable
• Red LED status light
• Volume and mute controls
• No special drivers required
• Lightweight design
So one last thing to bring up, how do you get a feed from a auditorium into your computer? While mike/line level USB audio interfaces have existed for quite a while, this is by far the most portable version I've ever seen. Marshall's MXL USB Mic Mate™ Pro allows you to take a microphone level feed and convert to a solid USB digital interface. If you're in need of a line level input then you can use the Marshall MXL USB Mic Mate™ Line Level
I got a great piece of advise from Mike on which Line Level to use and this is what he had to say:
As for the MicMates...remember they each have separate uses depending on the type of Mic. The "Classic" is for condenser mics only, Dynamic for Dynamic, Line for line level devices, and the Pro for those who have them all. The "Benefit" of the 3 "non Pro" ones is that they maintain a consistent true gain level, unlike the Centrance, Blue and even our Pro since those all have fluid gain control.
For instance, if you are a podcaster you would not want the MicMate Pro or the Centrance or Blue Icicle as each pod cast may have a different gain setting and that would sound bad to the listener.
MXL MicMate Basic MSRP $79.95 USB adapter for plugging microphones requiring phantom power into a computer.
MXL Dynamic MicMate MSRP $99.95 USB adapter for professional balanced dynamic microphones such as RE15 & SM58 (no 48V)
MXL MicMate Pro MSRP $149.95 New MicMate with headphone jack, 48V, gain and volume controls
MXL MicMate Line Level MSRP $179.95 New MicMate for line level out put devices like mixing consoles and tape decks.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 22/11/2013 (1366 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
Manitobans have bathed themselves in curling glory over the years in every way but one -- no Manitoba team has ever represented Canada at the Winter Olympics.
While two Manitoba men's teams have lost Olympic Trials finals over the years -- Kerry Burtnyk in 2001 and Jeff Stoughton in 2005, that remains the closest Manitoba has ever gotten to the biggest bonspiel of them all.
If ever that is going to change, however, it might be this winter. The 2013 Tim Hortons Roar of the Rings -- which will determine Canada's mens and women's curling representatives to Sochi -- is being held at Winnipeg's MTS Centre, Dec. 1-8.
It's the second time Manitoba has hosted the Olympic qualifier -- Brandon hosted the first one in 1997. And the four Manitoba teams participating this time around -- two men's and two women's teams, representing 25 per cent of the 16-team field -- are hoping that home ice advantage makes the difference.
It has been 15 long years now since the last Canadian women's skip won gold at the Winter Olympics.
In addition to all the other records she held in her remarkable -- and tragically truncated -- curling career, the late Sandra Schmirler also remains to this day the only Canadian women's skip to have brought home from the Olympics the gold medal this country expects our curlers to win every time they step on international ice.
Bronze medals for Kelley Law in 2002 and Shannon Kleibrink in 2006 and a silver for Cheryl Bernard in 2010 simply did not shine as bright as the gold Schmirler won in Nagano in 1998.
And so against that backdrop, it would seem fair to say that the work will be just beginning for whichever women's team wins the right to represent Canada in Sochi at the Tim Hortons Roar of the Rings, Dec. 1-8 at the MTS Centre.
Which is not to say, mind you, that winning the Trials is going to be easy. While you could argue the eight-team women's field that will assemble in Winnipeg could be stronger -- former world champion Kelly Scott, among others, will be conspicuous by her absence -- there is also no doubt that whoever wins the final on Dec. 7 will head to Russia battle-tested.
Just qualifying for this event was a gruelling four-year process, made all the more difficult because the number of teams competing at this year's Trials is, at just eight teams, the fewest ever.
But now that they've made it this far, the real work begins at a Trials event that will earn for one team that most hallowed of descriptors in all of sport -- 'Olympian.'
"We've worked really hard for it and to me we've done everything we wanted to do," says Winnipeg's Jennifer Jones. "And hopefully it's enough. And if it's not, then it's not. But at this point, you just want to know -- you just want to get going and see if all that work is going to pay off."
Winnipeg's Chelsea Carey says she is feeling a range of emotions right now as an event she waited her life for draws near. "Excited, nervous, all that kind of stuff," said Carey. "I'd like it to get started, but at the same time I know once it starts it's going to be a 'blink' and then it's over. And I don't want that either. I'd like to live in that week for a long time."
Alas, all good things come to an end. Here's how we see the field breaking down:
Winnipeg's Jennifer Jones
Ottawa's Rachel Homan
Jones is a four-time Canadian champion and former world champion and -- by universal acclamation -- the most talented women's curler never to play in a Winter Olympics. It is all that remains for the future hall-of-famer and she will head into the MTS Centre on a roll, having won two of three Grand Slam events on the World Curling Tour this fall and leading the women's money list.
The only Slam event Jones hasn't won this season was won by Homan, who also has the distinction of having beaten Jones in the final of last February's Canadian women's championship. That victory was the biggest of Homan's young career and laid to rest any doubts about the 24-year-old's ability to perform in the biggest moments and under the hottest lights.
Edmonton's Heather Nedohin
Nedohin won the final of the 2012 Canadian women's curling championship and then proved she wasn't a one-year fluke by advancing again all the way to the semifinal of last winter's national Scotties, only to lose to Jones. Nedohin third Beth Iskiw is one of the very best and Nedohin, while unpredictable at times, can take over a game all on her own.
Winnipeg's Chelsea Carey Saskatoon's Stefanie Lawton
Coldwater's Sherry Middaugh
Carey is among the very best cashspielers in the business but has struggled this year and will head into MTS Centre having won just $6,000 on tour this fall and holding down 29th place on the World Curling Tour money list. There are also questions about her team's ability to take the next step after back-to-back losses in the 2011 and 2012 provincial finals. On the plus side, a partisan crowd will only help a team that's always worn its emotions on their sleeve.
Lawton is a crack cashspieler and has won multiple provincial championships. But the break-through at the national level has been elusive for her and a win at this event would require the kind of performance under pressure that has mostly been lacking from her curling resume thus far. She finished third at the 2005 Trials and the presence this time around of third Sherry Anderson, who skipped the 2001 Trials runner-up, will help.
Middaugh is a seven-time Ontario representative at the Canadian women's curling championship but has never finished better than third at the nationals. This will be her fourth appearance at the Trials -- the most by any skip in the field. Her previous best was a 6-4 record and a tiebreaker game in 2005.
Grande Prairie's Renee Sonnenberg
Edmonton's Val Sweeting
Sonnenberg and Sweeting have the misfortune of curling in what has lately been the toughest province in all of Canada to get out of as a women's curler, with the likes of Kleibrink, Bernard and Nedohin all standing in the way of upstarts trying to break out of Alberta and establish a national presence.
Both women are more than capable cash-spielers and both are not entirely without national experience -- Sonnenberg skipped Alberta champions at the Scotties in 1999 (5-6) and 2001 (4-7), while Sweeting skipped Alberta at the 2010 Scotties (4-7).
If momentum counts at this event -- and it has, historically -- these two might have some working in their favour, having earned their Trials boths most recently in a pre-Trials event in Kitchener, Ont., earlier this month.
The eight-team men's field that will assemble for the Tim Hortons Roar of the Rings at MTS Centre, Dec. 1-8, is arguably the strongest ever assembled for a Canadian Olympic qualifier.
With five former world men's champions among the eight skips -- not to mention Kevin Martin, who doubles as the reigning Olympic gold medallist -- trying to pick the winner of the right to represent Canada in men's curling in Sochi is a fool's errand.
And Winnipeg's Jeff Stoughton -- one of those five former world champions -- ain't no fool. After infamously declaring in 2005 that Brad Gushue had "no chance" to win that year's Trials, only to promptly lose the final to Gushue a couple weeks later, Stoughton says his curling handicapping days are behind him.
And even if they weren't, he says picking a winner for this year's Trials is next to impossible anyway.
"That's the greatest thing about this event -- you look at Kevin Martin and say, 'Yeah, he could win.' You look at Kevin Koe and say, 'Yeah, he could win.' Same thing with Glenn Howard, Mike McEwen, on down the line.
"And I think that's the best thing about this whole event for Canadian curling -- whoever walks away with this thing on Dec. 8 will be the Olympic gold medal favourites."
Here's how we see the field breaking down:
Winnipeg's Jeff Stoughton
Edmonton's Kevin Martin
Coldwater's Glenn Howard
Three former world champions, this troika have all shown they can win at the highest levels of the sport. And each brings with them unique advantages to this event.
For Stoughton, the advantage of a loud and partisan crowd on his side should break his way for the entire event, including when he faces fellow Manitoban Mike McEwen during the round-robin. Locals like McEwen, but they love Stoughton, mostly because he's the one who wins on the provincial, national and world stages. And Stoughton thrives in that kind of environment -- the last time he had a crowd so undeniably on his side was in 2011 in Regina and he rode it all the way to a world championship.
Martin is the only Canadian skip to represent Canada twice in curling at the Olympics -- winning silver in 2002 and gold in 2010. Experience counts at a pressure-packed event like the Trials and the fact Martin has already won it twice breaks big in his favour. But even more compelling has been the new life that's been breathed into Martin this season with the addition of four time Canadian champion David Nedohin at third. The new partnership between formerly fierce rivals raised eyebrows when it was announced last summer but the on-ice success was immediate, with the new team winning more on the World Curling Tour this fall than all but one other team.
That other team is Howard, who enters this event as skip of a team that has been undeniably the most consistent in all of men's curling over the last four years. A tweak at third a couple years ago -- Wayne Middaugh replaced Richard Hart -- paid off immediately with a 2012 world championship and the team has arguably only gotten better in the intervening years. There's flashier skips in this field, but none that bring it so consistently game in and game out. And third through lead, they match up with any other team in the world.
Winnipeg's Mike McEwen
Edmonton's Kevin Koe
McEwen is by universal acclamation the greatest curler to never win a provincial men's title. But he has company in his quest to represent Canada at an Olympic Games before he represents his province at a Brier -- that is exactly what Ontario's Mike Harris did when he came out of relative obscurity to win the 1997 Trials in Brandon en route to an Olympic silver medal at the Nagano Games. Still, it is hard to ignore the fact that for all the winning McEwen has done in the last four years on the cash circuit, he and his team have shown themselves unable to win the events that matter to most curling fans.
Koe had a similar hard-luck tale as McEwen -- a fine cashspieler who was unable to win a provincial title while curling in a province dominated by the likes of Martin and Randy Ferbey. But then Martin went to the Olympics in 2010, leaving Alberta ripe for Koe's picking and the latter took fullest advantage, taking down provincial, national and world titles in a long-awaited breakthrough for the ages. A silver medal performance at the 2012 Brier proved Koe was no fluke and another strong cashspiel season this year suggests he's still very capable.
Sault Ste. Marie's Brad Jacobs
Jacobs comes into Winnipeg off a break-out performance last season that saw his Northern Ontario team exceed everyone's expectations, except their own, in winning last year's Brier final over Manitoba's Stoughton. The team went on to win silver at the worlds and then came up big again in Kitchener this month when they went on a run at a pre-Trials event to take down the eighth and final berth into the Roar of the Rings. If momentum counts at the MTS Centre, these guys have some right now.
Vernon and Kelowna's John Morris
Toronto's John Epping
Morris won Olympic gold in 2010 as third for Kevin Martin, but stunned the curling world last spring when he quit the Martin team after what had been a dismal season for the once dominating Edmonton foursome. But Morris then promptly formed a new team with former BC men's champion Jim Cotter and then got red-hot at a pre-Trials event in Kitchener, going undefeated in a 12-team field to take down the first of two final Trials berths that were up for grabs. Like Jacobs, Morris has momentum coming into MTS Centre. Unlike Jacobs, the rest of his team is unproven at the national level.
John Epping is the best men's skip you have in all likelihood never heard of. Playing out of the relative curling backwater of Toronto, Epping has fashioned a reputation as a talented and unflappable skip based almost entirely on his play on the cashspiel circuit, which reached its apex at the end of the 2011-12 season when he and his foursome won The Players Championship, a cash event the teams will tell you has the toughest field every season. If he won The Players, he could win this one too, but it would be a stretch.

"I used panko bread crumbs and Instead of mustard I used thousand island dressing...turned out fantastic. Also, I?ve never made a rolled meatloaf before. Rolling it wasn?t too difficult but slicing it and serving it was a bit of a challenge, it fell apart a bit. Still yummy though. I recommend it."

"This meat loaf is wonderful! I used 1/2# hamburger, 1 1/2 cups bread crumbs, sprinkled caraway seeds over the shredded cheese and cooked it a bit longer. I also served it with Thousand Island dressing. My husband and I really enjoyed it and I will definitely be making this again!"

"I am not a fan of meatloaf or reuben's. This however is hands down the best I've tried. A must try."
