Key Matchup
Frontcourt Battle
With free agent acquisition, Paul Millsap, and All-Star Al Horford, Atlanta boasts one of the more talented starting frontcourts in the NBA.
The Hawks duo are two-of-three players (DeMarcus Cousins) in the NBA this season averaging at least 16.0 points, 8.0 rebounds, 2.0 assists, 1.0 steals and 1.0 blocks, with Horford being the only player in the league with those numbers while shooting .500 FG%.

Looking to slow down Atlanta's big men will be the Cavaliers frontcourt trio of Tristan Thompson, Anderson Varejao and Andrew Bynum.
Thompson put up 17 points and six boards in 30 minutes against Detroit on Monday. Over his last 11 contests (since Nov. 30), he is averaging a double-double with 13.3 points and 10.6 rebounds in 31.5 minutes per game.
Varejao leads all NBA bench players in rebounds per game at 8.9 as a reserve. The Wild Thing comes into tonight's contest just seven defensive rebounds away from passing Larry Nance (2,494) for 6th place in franchise history. He is also nine offensive rebounds away from passing Jim Brewer (1,292) for 3rd place and 19 total rebounds away from passing Jim Chones for 5th place in the team's record books.
Bynum posted his 2nd double-double of the season against Atlanta in their last matchup with a season-high tying 20 points on 9-14 (.643) shooting, a season-high 13 rebounds (career-high tying nine offensive), two assists and two blocks in 27 minutes.

Plot synopsisEdit
When the leader of a ship workers union is shot dead in the middle of a labour dispute, corporate killing seems the most likely cause. However, the real motivations lie much closer to home.
Plot summary Edit
Ship Worker's Union activist Will Ramsey is at the centre of a bitter ongoing dispute with the management over job losses. Departing from a meeting he is shot dead, and his boss, Cam Beattie, also sustains a gunshot wound.
D.C.I. Burke and D.S. Reid are initially led to believe Will's murder may have been a corporate killing, however, despite new information coming to light, the case is far from clear.
Recovering in hospital, Beattie is unable to recall much of the evening's events, nor identify Ramsey's murderer. Meanwhile D.I. Ross investigates Union Secretary, Patrick Carr, who is very helpful, hinting at resentment towards Beattie and Ramsey.
Beattie's wife, Lorna and daughter Kirsty, are in complete shock over the attack and at being caught up in a murder case. After discharging himself, Beattie returns home only to be shot by an intruder with a crossbow. Although wounded by the arrow, he lives to tell the tale. But the pressure is on for Burke to find answers and quick, as his boss, D. S. Campbell, wants to know whether he is going to accept a new job that's on offer.
Following an explosion at the Union's headquarters, the police chase Carr as he flees the scene. Much to Ross's annoyance, Burke is at the wheel of his new motor. Meanwhile, D.I. Jackie Reid uncovers alarming evidence that brings everything into sharp focus …

A merchandiser, or an apparel manager, is the bridge between the design and the production teams. Their primary responsibility is to deal with the buyers.
What do they do?
These managers can work in retail where the role includes inventory control, deciding on what to buy, identifying store locations or in an export house where they decide on production, manufacturing, sourcing, etc. They have to manage products, many of which become obsolete after one season. They can work in brands such as Benetton, Levi's, Pantaloons; retail chains; export houses or sourcing companies (where they manage the supply chain) and outsourcing firms which are links between foreign clients and Indian manufacturers. Apparel managers (in India) may be busy working on a US order for shirts which require cotton bought from Australia, woven in Pakistan, dyed and finished in Sri Lanka, and manufactured in Bangladesh.
Skills Needed
- Commercial acumen
- Ability to multi-task, manage change in a fast-changing market and perform under tight deadlines
- Strong interpersonal skills and team spirit
- Quantitative aptitude
- Be detail-oriented
- Be creative
- Be able to handle a crisis calmly
- Good communication skills
How do I get there?
There are no pre-requisites for you to get into the profession. You may come from any background provided you have talent for this kind of work. After completing your Class 12 in any stream, you can look at institutes offering programmes in apparel management and related fields. Some institutes do offer undergraduate and postgraduate programmes in apparel merchandising, fashion marketing and fashion management. Admission to most institutes is through an all-India entrance exam.

Bush Advances in Michigan Race As Kemp Backers Drop Rule Bid
By GERALD M. BOYD, Special to the New York Times
Published: December 8, 1987
WASHINGTON, Dec. 7— Vice President Bush made important headway today in his effort to gain a majority of Michigan's 77 delegates to the Republican National Convention when several top officials of Representative Jack F. Kemp's campaign gave up an acriminous procedural battle.
Mr. Kemp's supporters had earlier joined forces with backers of Pat Robertson in efforts to block the Mr. Bush from winning Michigan's complicated delegate selection process. Michigan will be the first state to pick delegates for the Republican National Convention.
The procedural fight involves a proposed rule change sought by the Kemp-Robertson coalition that would require that the composition of Michigan's national delegation essentially reflect the preferences of the 9,000 caucus participants selected last February, when Mr. Kemp and Mr. Robertson received a majority. Interest of Party Unity
In a surprise announcement today in Lansing, Mich., two of Mr. Kemp's three state co-chairmen, State Senator Richard Posthumus and Larrain Thomas, said that in the interest of party unity they would withdraw support of the rule change. They added that their decision would strengthen the party for next year's election.
Mr. Bush's supporters contended that at least eight of Mr. Kemp's 18 district chairman would follow suit.
Mr. Posthumus and Ms. Thomas also said they would resign their positions in the campaign, although they still support the Congressman from upstate New York.
Backers of Mr. Bush needed to pick up about 10 votes on the state's 101-member central committee to assure that the rule change is defeated. The committee is scheduled to vote on the proposal Saturday.
It was unclear how many of those defecting from the Kemp-Robertson coalition would vote at the meeting, but Mr. Bush's forces said they were now close to a majority.
The announcement was the second recent blow to Mr. Robertson. The former television evangelist has shown surprising strength in Michigan and in Iowa, where nominating caucuses will be held on Feb. 8. Last Friday a Michigan judge overruled a decision by the central committee to bar about 1,200 party leaders from voting in county and district caucuses Jan. 14. The central committee is controlled by the Kemp-Robertson coalition, and the party leaders they had barred were generally considered to be supporters of Mr. Bush. 'Out of the Courts'
The local caucuses will elect about 1,800 delegates to the state party convention to be held Jan. 29-30, and the convention will elect the 77 delegates to the national meeting.
In return for the Kemp defectors' assurance that they would not support the proposed rule change, the Bush campaign agreed not to file any further court challenges.
''This takes matters out of the courts and out of the state committee and on to the caucuses, which has been our goal,'' said John M. Engler, the State Senate Republican leader and co-chairman of Mr. Bush's Michigan campaign.
Mr. Posthumus said the agreement reached with the Bush supporters would allow the Vice President and Mr. Kemp to emerge from the state convention Jan. 29-30 ''in a virtual dead heat'' with Mr. Robertson coming in third.
Campaign aides familiar with the agreement said Mr. Bush's supporters and the Kemp defectors from the Robertson coalition are expected to control the 23 delegates selected at large at the state convention. The other 54 - three from each of the state's 18 Congressional districts - are expected to be split among the three. Thus the at-large delegates are expected to hold the balance and will be divided between Mr. Bush and Mr. Kemp. Kemp Rejects Agreement
Mr. Kemp said in a letter to Mr. Posthumus today that he could not accept the agreement. Several of other Michigan supporters were also critical, saying that it represented an effort by the Bush forces to ''salvage'' his campaign.
''The guise of party unity is being used to salvage a Bush campaign,'' said Dick Minard, Mr. Kemp's state political director.
But Spencer Abraham, the Republican state chairman, said that he welcomed the agreement if it eliminated party friction.
Bush forces had hoped to use a 1954 state law that allows each county political organization to decide how to apportion its delegates to the state convention. In some counties, they had hoped to use an at-large arrangement to give him a majority of the delegates. In others, where Mr. Robertson is strong, they hoped to ''redesign'' district boundaries to allow Mr. Bush to emerge with some seats.
The Robertson-Kemp coalition had hoped that the central committee would require that the same at-large system that it used in February to capture a majority of the delegates be kept in place.

The earlier that breast cancer is found, the easier it is to treat. This is why it is important to screen, or check for the signs of cancer, regularly. The UC Irvine Breast Health Center physicians follow the American Cancer Society's recommended screening guidelines.
The American Cancer Society's cancer screening guidelines
are recommended for those people at average risk for cancer (unless otherwise specified) and without any specific symptoms. People who are at increased risk for certain cancers may need to follow a different screening schedule, such as starting at an earlier age or being screened more often. Those with symptoms that could be related to cancer should see their doctor right away.
Recommended Screening for Breast Cancer involves physical examination and generally mammography as the primary imaging technique. However, if a suspicious area is identified on a screening examination then access to other imaging technologies is critical for establishing an accurate diagnosis. The choice of secondary imaging techniques depends upon expert interpretation of the mammogram. In some cases, breast ultrasound is the best choice in other cases dedicated breast MRI is the better option. The role of PET/CT as a screening tool is not well established. UC Irvine uses state of the art digital mammography and has dedicated radiologists with expertise in breast imaging with all four modalities. Having experts in and access to all four imaging technologies is an advantage for UC Irvine breast patients and their health care team.
Scientists and Physicians
at UC Irvine are working to provide better tools for understanding and assessing an individual's risk, to decrease that risk and prevent them from developing breast cancer, and to improve screening through
Dr. Wen-Hwa Lee
is performing studies to identify markers of early breast cancer development that could be found in the blood. This may lead to new ways to screen for cancer and detect it earlier.
Dr Lydia Su
Dr. Orhan Nalcioglu
are developing advanced
methods to better screen individuals for breast cancer without exposure to X-rays.
Dr. David Hsiang
Dr. Bruce Tromberg
are developing a brand new imaging technique,
Optical Scanning
, that uses light and provides important information on what is happening inside the breast. Both
and the
Optical Scanning
techniques are being investigated in
clinical trials
at UC Irvine and other collaborating institutions.

By ALAN BRINKLEY; Alan Brinkley teaches American history at Harvard University.
Published: March 27, 1988
THE POWER GAME How Washington Works. By Hedrick Smith. 793 pp. New York: Random House. $22.50.
In his classic 1888 study of American political life, the British diplomat and scholar James Bryce attempted to explain why government in the United States seemed so often to work so badly. ''There is an excessive friction in the American system,'' he wrote in ''The American Commonwealth,'' ''a waste of force in the strife of various bodies and persons created to check and balance one another. . . . Power is so much subdivided that it is hard at a given moment to concentrate it for prompt and effective action.''
A century later, at the end of ''The Power Game,'' an examination of the workings of the Federal Government remarkable for its breadth and detail, Hedrick Smith arrives at an almost identical conclusion. One of the paramount problems facing American public life, he notes, ''is the fragmentation of power. . . . Fragmentation often leaves our politicians wallowing in deadlock because the government lacks the cohesion to form durable coalitions, needed to resolve the nation's most demanding problems.''
Lord Bryce attributed the problems of Washington to the nature of the larger society of which it was a part (in Bryce's view, an unimpressive part). Real power, he argued, did not lie in the capital. It was scattered widely throughout the nation. Hence, he devoted more than two-thirds of his book to examining the institutions where he thought that power actually lay: the state governments, the party organizations, the professions, churches and universities, local communities.
Mr. Smith, a Washington correspondent for The New York Times Magazine and a former Times Washington bureau chief, has no such doubts about the enormous importance of what happens in the capital. The world inside the Beltway, a world he describes exhaustively and with great skill is the only one that interests him. Like most Washington reporters, he demonstrates a deep, if skeptical affection for the city. But perhaps without realizing it, he portrays the capital as a singularly unappealing place: insular, self-absorbed, its denizens far more interested in the winning and losing of influence - the power game - than in the purposes for which that influence is used. It is, in this description, a place only an insider could love.
The rules of the power game, Mr. Smith argues, have changed dramatically in the last 15 years, following a ''political earthquake'' in 1974 that ''shook the established power structure of the American political system.'' Three developments in particular combined to destroy the relatively placid Washington of the 1950's and 60's and replace it with a new, fast-paced, almost incoherently competitive community. One was the reform of Congress, which greatly reduced the influence of autocratic committee chairmen and party leaders and in effect created a new institution, with 535 autonomous centers of power. Another was the proliferation of lobbies and the emergence of Political Action Committees, which introduced unprecedented sums of money into Washington life (and into the calculations of almost all political actors). And the third was television, which in the 70's became for virtually all public figures what it had long been for the President: the central arbiter of political reality.
In the wake of these changes, Mr. Smith concludes, the problems inherent in a system of divided authority were greatly multiplied. Instead of a handful of established power centers in Washington, there are now hundreds, even thousands. The reforms of the 60's and 70's ''opened up a razzle-dazzle political circus. . . . The action of the new game is much faster and much harder to follow, both for the players and those who watch.''
Most of this very long book is, then, an effort to explain how the new game is played. In the process of doing so, it provides an extraordinary picture of official Washington in the 80's. Indeed, ''The Power Game'' may be the most sweeping and in many ways the most impressive portrait of the culture of the Federal Government to appear in a single work in many decades. It is knowledgeable and informative. And it is often highly entertaining, filled with enough inside information and spicy anecdotes to satisfy even the most jaded political junkie. Many readers will be familiar with much of what Mr. Smith describes, but no one, I suspect, will read this book without learning something new.
Mr. Smith is at his best when he lets the story tell itself, when he re-creates particular episodes and controversies that illustrate how the power games are played. He explains the impact of television on Congress with a telling description of Representatives marching, one after another, into the House television studio to tape comments for satellite feeds to local stations in their districts. He demonstrates the importance of visibility to successful power-brokering with a hilarious account of White House staffers and others jostling one another on Air Force One in a frantic effort to leave the plane by the front ramp - where the television cameras are stationed. He provides a particularly good (and discouraging) picture of the workings of the Defense Department's procurement process -which he describes as Washington's last great pork barrel - by telling the story of the long, agonizing and expensive death of the Divad antiaircraft gun, an incurably defective weapon that the Pentagon finally killed only because of a rare combination of political pressures. The armaments industry-Government ''cartel,'' as Mr. Smith describes it, is rarely so susceptible to outside influence, no matter how flawed, expensive or wasteful its undertakings may be.

Description Edit
This is an immense european-styled mansion located in the countryside. It seems surrounded by fields and behind it we can find a lake with waterlillies. Inside there are several large rooms. one of those is a room with a beg. It is adorned with cozy carpets. There are shelves and a big looking-glass.
Another room has a woodene table in the middle of it and an armchair.
History Edit
Zuu used to live here during his years in Central. He seemingly either bought it or earned it with his relations. When he retired and returned to the Asian Branch, he used the mansion to store his documents. When Howard Link was fatally injured by Apocryphos, Inspector Lvellie asked Zu to save Link's Zu with his magic. To do so they brought him to the mansion and let him rest in a bed where Zu practiced the ritual.
Link woke up 20 days laters and were explained the situation. He was given tools and left for his new mission.

The webinar, Section 504, Title II and Ensuring the Protection of K-12 Students with Severe Allergies, was presented February 17 by Jim Long, a former senior attorney with the Office for Civil Rights (OCR), U.S. Department of Education.
Long began the presentation by describing the different laws that were created to protect students with disabilities and how each works. He emphasized that it wasn't until 2009 that the definition of a disability was changed in a way that could include food allergies, and many school districts have not caught up with the changes and/or may not yet understand how the law applies to food allergies.
He went on to explain how a student is evaluated for a 504 Plan. This involves first determining if the child has a disability—defined as substantially limiting one or more major life activities.
This well-attended webinar was extended to 90 minutes to accommodate the large number of questions sent in from the food allergy community.

After a long day and a half of travel, we all agreed to sleep in on the first day at the lodge. Jeff and I awoke at around 10:00 local time. We headed to the range and fired a few rounds to make sure the rifles were still good. Fortunately, the padded travel cases did their job and the sights were on. Then it was off into the bush . . .
Apparently, it has been raining off and on recently and everything was lush and green. The trees have all their leaves and haven't started to drop even though it's now fall here. This will make hunting a bit difficult.
We start the day cruising the various dirt roads looking for Cape Buffalo tracks. We spy some and began a stalk. There are four of us who are armed. Jeff has his custom rifle in .375 Ruger, Jacques has a .375 H&H, Eli has his .460 Weatherby mag, and I have RF's .500 S&W lever gun.
While watching the wind swirl, we constantly change directions while making our way towards a water hole. After a mile or so, we come up dry. The dung is fresh, the tracks are fresh, but we came up stale.
We hop back up on the Land Cruiser and start driving to another area. I'm not sure how far we had to go, but we never make it there. All of a sudden the truck lurches to a stop, and there, about 10 yards into the bush, are two very large Cape Buffalo. One is very old with the tips of his horns blunted from fighting and rubbing them down, the other is quite a bit younger but with a spectacular curl to his horns. True "dugga boys." The air is thick with the smell of buffalo.
Eli, our professional hunter/guide, is very excited. Jeff is excited. Me, I'm wishing I had a crew-served weapon.
We dismount the truck as the bulls trot off and disappear like ghosts. The now-still air smells peculiar. It's either my fear I'm smelling or buffalo sweat.
We begin our stalk in the direction the bulls trotted off. After about a quarter of a mile, we spot them again, just as they grunt and trot off once more. At this point we realize they have circled around and are now stalking us. We are retrace our steps, and just as we begin to smell my fear — I mean the buffalo sweat — they break and trot off again.
After about a half hour of stalking I realize there is sweat dripping from my brow. The air has become stiflingly still and humid. Then we smell the smell again. I can barely make out the back of a buff in the bush. I can't tell which direction he's facing though. Apparently, they can also smell or hear us.
The eight minute standoff with the four of us pointing rifles in their direction is tiring. One or both of them have stamped their feet and grunted at us, a sure sign of an imminent charge. Then we hear them as their tremendous bodies trot off, registering seismic activity at roughly 3.0 on the Richter scale.
We decide to wait 10-15 minutes to see if the buffs will calm down at all as we have clearly agitated them beyond their standard pissed off state. We decide to start walking in an arc to keep the wind in our favor, keeping in mind that they are stalking us. Again.
They are about 50 yards off, staring at us through a long open space. The lead old bull decides he doesn't like what he sees and starts a kind of fast walk straight towards Jeff and me. We are shoulder-to-shoulder and I'm trying to mind meld with Jeff to make him shoot that Black Death in the face before he makes it another yard.
That familiar feeling of my bowels starting to loosen is back. But I'm comforted by the three additional hard-hitting rifles that are poised to deliver a wall of lead. As time slows down I'm mentally calculating the amount of foot-pounds this angry beast is going to absorb at any moment. We already agreed though, that unless Cyncerus caffer was posing a serious imminent fear of death upon us, Jeff would be the solo shooter.
At about the 40-yard point of closure, the buff decided to exit, stage right. Just as his left shoulder becomes visible, Jeff delivers the first shot. The hit is solid, right in the pump house.
As the now really pissed off buff runs one way and the next, trying to find the object of his displeasure, he brings his left shoulder to bare for Jeff to deliver another 300 grains of screaming DGX fury. Jeff is a solid marksman and delivers quite well. As the buff takes another hit to the heart and lungs, his noggin starts to nosedive.
In slow motion, we watch as his head dips, it looks like someone upended a 5-gallon bucket of blood. It pours out of the buff's nose and mouth. His head and horns make contact with the ground and he does a somersault. As soon as he hits the ground, he's up and running again. He presents a quartering away shot and Jeff delivers another blow. This time to the right rear of his chest. It doesn't seem to phase the bucking buff.
As Jeff is racking the bolt again, I'm beginning to relax. I may just live to tell this tale. As the buff is now running away, I tell him give it a "Texas heart shot." Jeff's gun made the loudest "click" noise I think either of us have ever heard.
Training kicked in and I take a step forward, holding the Spike Driver at aim point and advise Jeff he may want to reload. We hear crashing in the bush and pause to listen for the death bellow of the magnificent warrior.
All we hear are a few odd grunts. Crap, does this mean the old boy wants round number four? As we are all looking at each other and scanning the scrub for any 1600 pound death machines, we finally hear it. A long bellow that prompts sadness and elation at the same time. The Buffalo is done. Maybe….
We slowly make our way into the thorn bushes. As Jeff and Eli approach, they see an ear twitch. We wait. The next few minutes seemed like an hour. We walk forward and Jeff pokes the back of its head with the end of his barrel and there is no movement. Success.
It takes about an hour to get the beast loaded into the back of the Land Cruiser. My gosh, I've upped my estimate of his live weight from 1,600 lbs. to more like 1,800. This thing is huge. To rap your knuckles on his horn bosses is akin to knocking on a rough finished concrete door. I wonder if someone has looked into body armor made of cape buff horn.
Stay tuned for Sable, Kudu, Gemsbock, and a few others. I love this country.
36 Responses to Tom in Oregon (in South Africa): The Hunt for Black Death
Are you sure you didn't just shoot someone's Black Angus? You know what we do with rustlers down here in Texas?
"That familiar feeling of my bowels starting to loosen is back."
Imodium. Don't leave home (or go any place with different water…) without it…
Have fun, I'm jealous as hell…
I see no reason to kill a defenseless animal unless you are going to use every bit of that animal to its fullest.
Hopefully that is what is happening.
If you do a little research you'll learn there is nothing "defenseless" about a cape buff.
Darn. I was hoping that the cape ground those hunters into a splotch of mashed meat and rotting bones. Oh well, maybe next time. We can only hope for a better outcome.
Wow. How physcotic does a person have to be to wish death on a human being for engaging in a legal activity .
I hope for better trolling in the future. This was a poor effort, and I'm convinced an actual buffalo could improve upon the method.
See the horns on the Cape Buffalo in the top pic?
That's no defenseless animal. They are not pleasant critters.
A Cape Buffalo is likely one of the animals most likely to kill *you* in Africa.
tween cape buffalo and Hippo, plenty of tourists get killed. They don't give a crap if you got a rifle or a camera, all get the same punishment.
Several years back, a friend of mine took down a cape buffalo that was terrorizing a village. If memory serves, they reduced the cost of the tag by 50% (at least). As far as making use of the animal… by the time the local dispatched of the carcass, the only thing left WAS the hide. If I remember correctly, the quote from my buddy was "after they were done, freaking CSI wouldn't have known there'd been an animal killed there…"
Sigh. The hunters pay very big bucks, which makes it worth while for the locals to protect the animals from poachers. The money spent by the hunters help the local economy, the meat from the Buffalo goes to the locals.
And the Cape Buffalo is only behind the hippo in the number of humans they kill every year.
And if you eat meat, some one kills what you eat in the store or restaurant. And if your a vegitarian? I'm sorry for you; Hmmm, Moist Brisket.
"I'm a second-hand vegetarian – cows eat grass, and I eat cows."
3 shots? Is that normal for cape buffalo?
Great story telling, BTW.
Maybe. With dangerous game you shoot until the animal stops. It's part hunting and part self defense. Cape Buffalo can grind you into a crunchy pudding if you aren't careful.
South Africa? Cape Buffalo? Here the PETA people been telling me you're off to Madagascar to finish exterminating an endangered species. I want my 5 bucks back from them lying sacks of…… 🙂
RF should sponsor a lemur hunt in Madagascar in honor of PETA. "They like to move it, move it." 😉
Thanks, I lol'ed.
"CLICK"……. Y'all remember that for a while! Great story so far.
But you didn't tell us where the "click" came from! Did Jeff think he had another BB? DID Jeff have another BB and it misfired? Whassup?
Peter Capstick,describing a Cape Buffalo, "He looks at you like you owe him money".
Capstick's line is one the classics. Every since I read it I've been trying to master the look that leaves my debtor thinking, "that guy looked at me like he was a cape buffalo deciding on what's for lunch."
I'd have to do some digging, but I recall a humorous Capstick line about about several PHs being "lionized," and the underlying meaning had nothing to do with admired or revered.
real adventure. a fantastic experience .
Fantastic storytelling, Tom! Even Robert Ruark would agree.
Wow, great story-telling! I'm looking forward to more.
Very cool story. I'm not a hunter and I was enthralled. Looking forward to more of the same.
I want you to know that I thoroughly enjoyed your story while sipping a 12 year old scotch. Layla the weimaraner is my fuzzy grey witness (who incidentally tried to steal some of my liquid amber campfire – that dog will drink scotch if I'm not careful).
If you return to the states with any desire to do a domestic Bison hunt, let me know. We may have WI swamp whitetail hunt available as well.
Thanks for the great story, and good hunting.
"– that dog will drink scotch if I'm not careful"
I once had an Old English Sheepdog that loved beer.
Back in my hard drinking 'daze' I thought it was really cool having a dog for a drinking buddy.
Good writting Tom. RF I hope your jealous of the adventure your rifle is having without you! I'm excited about my May turkey tag. Previously hunted angry 500lb pigs couldn't imagine 4x the size.
Hemingway/London with a bit of Hunter S mixed in, great story telling, Tom.
BTW- where the heck is Tom in those pics? Is that your son?
I got the impression you were an old(er) fart-w-g, Tom in Oregon…
Yup, I think he was the photographer in all these. No sight of a tremendously awesome mustache anywhere.
Yes. I was snapping photos in this event.
Now I know why some guys get hooked on hunting Buff.
It really changes the senses.
Having a blast here!
I love these stories. I live vicariously through you, as I doubt this is ever something I'd prioritize. I love to read about it though.
That old Buffalo's time had come, better to be dispatched by gun shot than later torn apart by lions. Lived a long life, went out with fight still in him and made way for younger bull to contribute to health of the herd. That is nature's way…..
Enjoyed the article very much!
This is as close as I will ever get, Tom. Keep on keepin' on, and thanks for sharing.
Terrific article Tom. The only thing missing were captions on the photos.

To say I can get obsessed with certain books and properties is probably an understatement. However I jumped on the Planetary wagon late, but when I caught hold of the first issue, I was hooked. I probably read Planetary once a year. It's my annual tip of the hat to my duo of talent crushes, Warren Ellis and John Cassaday, and this year I wanted to share it with the other contributors and readers at MahmuseComics. So we decided to have a book club and read it all together and group our thoughts and musings in to five chunks.
There are 27 books in the Planetary series with three special issues, all spaced over several years. This book is almost a decade in the making. Today though, we present to you issues 1-5. So grab your Planetary issues, we'll wait while you get them to read through … … … Ah there you are, and first we'll give you a bit of background before we start.
Planetary is quite simply, an organisation of archaeologists of the impossible and extraordinary situated in the Wildstorm universe. They dig into the bizarre and impossible happenings of a whole century of pop culture goings on and try to make sense of the mysteries placed before them, like, who is keeping the extraordinary a secret? Who is the Fourth Man? And what are Century Babies? We'll tackle the questions that arise as they are asked in the comics and present to you our ideas and thoughts on it all.
First up, who are some o'la fam?
John Snow is a disheveled man we first meet in a small diner in the middle of nowhere drinking coffee that tastes like dog piss. We learn that he has an affinity for and control over sub-zero temperatures. He also has a secret history, possibly with Planetary and his new team members are not being very forthright with the truth. Who is Snow, and who is the fourth Man?
Jakita Wagner
Jakita is an agent for Planetary and she quickly hires Snow to be the Third man on her team. She doesn't feel the cold, and seems to be quite resistant to harm, can run quite fast and likes to hit things/people. She can also drop kick a rhino over the Grand Canyon.
The Drummer
Last Name Drummer, First Name The. He talks to machines, they do as he says. He's also crazy, and attached to drumsticks which he uses to tap into information sources.
Doctor Axel Brass
Unless you count the Zero issue of Planetary, and witnessed the Wildstorm version of The Incredible Hulk, Doc Brass is our first Alt-Version of an existing character in pop culture, Doc Savage, the man of Bronze. Savage is a pulp Adventure hero during the 1930s who had a resurgence of popularity years later. Doc Brass is one of several individuals born on the 1st of January 1900 and disappeared around 1945 until Planetary discover him in the present.
So that's our main cast. Check out the next few pages for the Issue breakdowns and your Mah Muse hosts for their insights.

What a weekend! Ludum Dare is always full on, but I never seem to remember it weeks down the line. My entry went quite well, but I bit off slightly more than I could chew. I build an underwater platformer called "Aqua", based on the theme "Beneath the surface".
What went well
I finished a playable game. I always like to have a finished game, it annoys me when you get half way through something good and it just stops.
Phaser definitely helped speed up my game development, as it took care of the physics and collision detection. Previously I had written everything from scratch. Writing it from scratch had taught me a lot, but now that I have the knowledge I don't feel like I have to do it any time soon.
Browserify also made it simple to separate out my code into modules. So I'm glad I spent time learning about it before the competition.
Testing my code was also easy using browser-sync. I could load the game on a local server and access it with any device on my local network. If you haven't seen if before, you should check it out as it makes developing any web application simple.
Spending time before the competition building a boilerplate really helped me. It meant that I could jump straight into developing my game. No need to set up a local server or load in the games libraries. Just a simple
git clone and I was off.
I got to play with my kaossilator to generate the sounds. I almost used it for the music too, but I ran out of time, so added a few clips together with Garage band. I'm getting more interested in music production, so any excuse to play is always good.
What could have gone better
Although the game was finished, it wasn't as exciting as it could have been. I would have liked to add some AI, so something to make it more challenging. The game just ended up being lots of linked up rooms with keys to find.
There were some collision issues that I didn't manage to solve. Some of it could be down to the framework I used, but I suspect I missed some vital element. Once I've worked out what was missing, I'm sure it will be clear. Bugs always are.
The map I made was quite big, which was a good thing. I felt like I could have made filled it more, but time was against me. Having mobs or other AI would have helped with variety, so maybe the size the game ended up with was good.
At the end of the day I got out of the weekend what I wanted. I've got another game under my belt, and I felt like I've learnt a little more about game development. That's the main reason why I enter Ludum Dare. Now I will challenge you all to do the same. Entering Ludum Dare is one of the best ways to improve your code quickly.
Voting lasts for another few weeks, lets hope I get a good ranking.

The Testosterone Drug Of FDA Approves EndoIn other instances, it can be treated with lifestyle changes like attempts to lose excessive weight and exercise more. Actually, the best Testosterone Treatment Miami on the marketplace can safely improve an user's physical health, along with his or her state of mind.

Girls start to experience menopause after a certain age and there are symptoms for example night sweats, in addition to decrease in sexual desire and hot flashes.
Testosterone therapy is of little use to an otherwise healthy guy, and so a man who does not want testosterone but takes it anyhow is subject to possible risk of treatment. Up to 50 percent of diabetic men have clinically low testosterone levels, and poor lifestyle and obesity are known to be directly associated with reduced testosterone production for millions of guys.

What human Chorionic Gonadotropin does is exactly mimic the luteinizing hormone (LH) that your brain uses to signal the need for testosterone production by the testes. The evaluations are deceived into believing they are being instructed to create testosterone, despite the fact the degrees are comfortably elevated to youthful levels because of the injectable testosterone treatment. This generation amount is insufficient to support healthy testosterone levels on its own but, that is not its intent.

Getting Creative With Experts Advice

However, the key objective of running a business is to make profit. That's why you need to find out the benefits and disadvantages of a business deal before making your final conclusion. Everything must have both advantages and disadvantages, and it is worth to pick the disadvantages part of the deal. Business entails engaging your mind to make the best out of a deal.

If you haven't understood how budget hosting servicers operate, it is time to know before striking a deal with a company. There are those companies that are only aggressive on cross-selling and up-selling methods. These companies make money through simple services such as product recommendation, add-ons and other uncomplicated offers.

Therefore, ensure you check well if the company's deal and ask questions where seems complicated.

Second, check if it's a shared hosting. Some hosting companies charge low prices because they host many websites on a single server. This denies your website a right to unlimited resources. The website will have slow load time, meaning that your customers will have a bad user experience. Avoid paying for cheap hosting service with frequent down times. Take time to research well about a hosting provider before making a final decision.
On Webhosting: My Rationale Explained
Third, try to keep off those hosting service providers that are too likely to be infiltrated by hackers and spammers. The spammers can attack the server and consumer your website's resources. When your website is sharing a server with a spammer, there will be limited resources to use. A server that is infected by a computer virus, it means your website may also be at risk. You should take time to find a hosting service provider with reliable prevention measure to block spammers and hackers from invading its servers. Though this problem has been reduced significantly by both cheap and premium hosting providers, it is highly recommended to request relocation to another server in the event a virus, hacker, or spammer infiltrates your server. In conclusion, there are several other considerations you need to ponder when looking for a hosting company.

Motivating Employees By Kellye Brown
Problem: Solution: Dissatisfied workers in the hotel industry. Provide workers with more incentives and reward programs.
Nature of Work Manager Main work objective -Keep the hotel running efficiently, oversee different departments, and ensure the guests happiness. Hours -Managers in the hotel industry can expect to work long hours and many nights and weekends.
Nature of Work Workers Hours -Long hours. -Work is unappreciated. Work -Work may be extremely repetitive and may often feel underappreciated.
Principles of Management Define objective -Improve employee relations by clearly detailing and explaining what their objective is for working with the company. Accept responsibility -It is the duty of the administration and the manager to accept responsibility for the lack of employee satisfaction.
Principles of Management As a manager I need to find out why my employees are dissatisfied with their job and are unhappy. The employees job satisfaction has a direct link to their work and ultimately the consumers happiness.
Who Moved my Cheese Scurry: was always motivated to keep going and never getting to comfortable We need managers who are willing to accept change and be able to move forward and who can also motivate their team. Haw: knew that he needed to change, but wasn't comfortable with the change At times it may be hard to change, but managers need to be able to detect problems and fix them quickly.
Why Add Incentive Hotel workers often work repetitive jobs and feel underappreciated. Adding rewards that make the individual appreciated would have tremendous effect on the work output. No matter how simple the job, everybody likes to be appreciated.
Cycle of Adding Incentives Higher Rewards Motivated Employees Higher Satisfaction Improved Relationships
Graph Explained. I developed this graph because I believe that rewarding employees would lead to higher job satisfaction and therefore happier employees.
Impact on Industry Happier employees would translate into better service and thereby happier guests. Happy guest give good reviews and are likely to stay in your chain of hotels again resulting in higher revenues.

German prosecutors say they have found no evidence so far to link a couple charged with planning a Sept. 11 attack in Germany to Al Qaeda or any other international terrorist group.
Astrid Eyzaguirre, 23, an American who worked at a supermarket on a United States military base in Heidelberg, and her German-born Turkish boyfriend, Osman Petmezci, 25, were arrested on charges of planning an attack on or around the anniversary of Sept. 11.
Their arrest, following a tipoff to American military police, prompted immediate concerns that the couple was working on behalf of Al Qaeda, in part because a picture of Osama bin Laden was found in their apartment.
But in a statement, the Heidelberg prosecutor's office said: ''Intensive investigations have not found any evidence to date that the suspects were members of a terrorist organization or had contacts with people in such groups.''
The prosecutors said tests of chemicals showed that the apartment held only 40 pounds of homemade explosive materials. Earlier Thomas Schäuble, the state's interior minister, said about three times that amount of explosive had been found along with five pipe bombs.Continue reading the main story

Sensei Zenryo Shimabukuro
Zenryo Shimabukuro Sensei (10th Dan) was the top student of the legendary Chotoku Kyan Sensei. A baker by profession, he was solidly built, and "a powerhouse of a man" was what everyone who knew him would say of him. After studying Karate-do under his Sensei, he began teaching a small group of students. The lessons were conducted outside his home, and the small group included his son, the young Zenpo Shimabukuro (the present head of the style). In 1962, he built his own dojo and named it Seibukan (meaning "Holy Art School"). As a human being Zenryo Sensei was well-known in his community, and had received recognition many-a-times from city officials for his work and for his contribution to the betterment of the Okinawan people. In 1964, he received the highest possible rank a Karateka could possibly earn: the Red Belt; I.e. Promotion to 10th Dan. During the American occupation of the island of Okinawa, Zenryo Sensei was persuaded to teach his Karate to American servicemen stationed there. Thus, the spread of Shorin Ryu Seibukan Karate-do into the United States. In 1969, Zenryo Sensei died of appendicitis. Today, his son carries on the Seibukan name and its tradition exactly where his father left off.

Know If A Potential Mate is Godly
June 22, 2015 by adrian
Filed under Click Here For Articles
A great start is for you to listen to their conversation with others and watch them in other situations outside of your relationship. Listen and watch for how others they are close with speak and act. A person is going to be drawn to those that are more like themselves. For example, people with a certain profession are more likely to be with others of the same profession or similar profession.
In your conversations, determine if there have been situations where they recognize and acknowledge that it was the hand of God that brought them through to the other end. You should also be able to determine situations where they followed the word of God in a tough time when they had to put their flesh under subjection. Don't be so quick to tell someone what you are looking for in a mate. The reason I say this is because often times, they may try to present certain things to you in an attempt to impress you even though it is not what is truly in their heart.

Morsi Haddad's main responsibility at TSC is to develop and grow the Middle Eastern and the African regions and to ensure that TSC's distributors and value added resellers in these countries receive the best possible service and back-up. The new member of the team and graduated computer engineer is an approved expert for labelling and identification solution with 12 years of experience in the field of Auto ID and printing solutions in MENA region. He worked as Channel Account & Business Development Manager at a significant competitor of TSC for the past six years. Before that, Morsi was managing the North African Region for another company, which is specialized in Auto ID and Mobility solutions.
Piotr Kalicki joined TSC Auto ID as Territory Sales Manager, located in Poland. He is responsible for sales and business development in Eastern Europe including the countries Poland, Czech Republic, Hungary, Slovakia, Slovenia, Romania etc. With 6 years of experience in the Auto ID industry as Channel Account and Business Development Manager at a TSC competitor and with its sales background of 11 years in various industrial sectors "he will push this region to a new step and gives high-professional support to TSCs customers", Ladislav Sloup, Managing Director of TSC EMEA, notes.
Both, Piotr and Morsi, are happy to face new tasks and chances. "These markets have an amazing potential that should not be ignored. It is important for us to increase the awareness and satisfaction of the end customer by providing professional, flexible and cost-competitive solutions through the close cooperation of TSC Auto ID with our partners and resellers. This goal can be achieved because the products are the best in their class and the construction of the Channel Program works stable and guarantees a high margin for the VARs."
With this staff reinforcement, the sales responsibilities for Nicolas Dubel-Jam end in the Baltic countries. He will concentrate entirely on his main areas France, Greece, Cyprus and, in particular, Benelux.
