Ray and his sister Sally are on an orphan train in hopes of finding new parents out West. On the train, Ray realizes that Sally would stand a better chance at getting adopted if she didn't have an older brother – so he jumps off the train to adventure on his own.
Ray has one thing to remind him of the life he used to have, a stone his father gave him. It is a lodestone, a magnetic stone used to make compasses. The stone is acting funny. It seems to be pulling Ray South, so Ray decides to go wherever the lodestone leads.
The stone leads Ray to Cornelius T. Carter's Mystifying Medicine Show, a sideshow that travels in a steam train from town to town performing tricks and selling medicine oil. The band of performers includes a blind sharpshooter, a snake charmer, a fire-eater, a sword swallower and a strong man. Ray discovers that these performers are more than they first appear. The strong man, Conker, is John Henry's son. John Henry was a legendary railroad worker who defeated a steam powered hammer, man against machine, in a contest. John Henry won the challenge, but then dropped dead from the effort. His stories are legends like Pecos Bill or Paul Bunyan.
Ray discovers that John Henry's legend is actually real and that John Henry didn't just win a competition, he defeated a demonic machine built by a man (the Gog) who is still determined to dominate the world with his evil mechanical inventions. Ray finds out that there is a band of heroes, called Ramblers, who have been fighting the Gog for years. Ramblers are like knights or rangers or aurors…their job is to protect the world from evil. Ray finds out his dad, a Rambler, helped John Henry beat the evil machine…but that the Gog and his evil machines are back. It is up to Ray and Conker and their friends to rally the remaining Ramblers and the Rambler's children to do battle again.
This story draws a lot of characters and personality from tales of the American South, African American Folklore and tales from the frontier West. I liked reading about traveling by steam locomotive. It's hard for us to imagine now, but back in those days there were trains owned by individual people that traveled all over the country – trains decked out like fancy RVs inside.
The story is science fiction meets the frontier meets steampunk. (Steampunk is a story that involves technology before that technology was actually invented. The evil gunius in this story uses robotic creatures that are built with technology not known in the 1800s.) Ray's adventure is like Harry Potter because there is an ensemble cast of kids that have inherited the fight from a previous generation.
There are no unicorns or dragons or wizards in this magical story, but magic still, a kind of magic that has its roots in African-American history and the American South called hoo doo. People knowledgeable in hoo doo are called conjurers or root doctors. They make potions from herbs, animals, or items owned by a person. Sometimes, the hoo doo knowledge is what we might call a folk remedy. Hoo doo uses a bit of science and a bit of the spiritual unknown to conjure up its magic.

There is a really cool book about the song The Ballad of John Henry. The book traces the history of the song and takes a guess at who John Henry really was. This book is called Ain't Nothing But a Man: My Quest to Find the Real John Henry. Generally, legends are based on at least a tiny bit of truth and this book shows the historical treasure hunt the author went on to track down the bits of truth in the John Henry story.
The video below is the blues artist John Jackson singing the John Henry song. Blues music came out of African-American communites in the South in the 1800s. Songs included spirituals and work songs and chants. A lot of times the songs told a story in a ballad – John Henry is a ballad and work song.Print This Post

Thanksgiving Two-Fer Bars
I changed my mind late last night about baking for Thanksgiving. I wasn't going to do it since Hubby's mother is already baking multiple pies and other goodies, but then something sparked my memory about these bars. I remembered seeing them last year and loving that Caitlin had made the TWD recipe into bars instead of a pie.
I'm not really a big pie person myself. Don't get me wrong, I love eating pies, but I'm not a big fan of baking pies. I think it's for the same reason I don't like making elaborate cakes. I like to be able to taste test my baked goods prior to serving them to anyone else. That's why I almost exclusively bake cookies, cupcakes, and bars. Of course, I had to taste test these bars while I was cutting them. They taste like Thanksgiving. I enjoyed the variety of textures from the crust and two pie filling layers.
These bars do take a bit of time to assemble because of the various steps. But I'm ok with that. I put them together last night while working on laundry and cleaning up the house. It was casual, just the way I like my baking. Who wants to be stressed out while baking!
Now I'm sure most everyone out there has already planned or even baked everything they're going to for Thanksgiving since it is tomorrow and all, but if you're still searching for that perfect Thanksgiving treat, definitely consider making these.
Since I used a 9×13 pan for the recipe, I doubled the pie filling recipes. The recipe shown below reflects the changes that I made, so if you make these in an 8×8 pan, you will want to halve the recipe below. I had a hard time with the baking time. I started checking them at 30 minutes and they were no where near done. I ended up baking at 300 for about 65 minutes because prior to that the pecan pie topping was not set. I let them cool over night on a cooling rack prior to cutting them.
Thanksgiving Two-Fer Bars
Yield: 24 bars
For the Crust Layer
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup packed brown sugar
3/4 cup + 2 Tbsp pecans, ground - I ground mine in a food processor
2/3 cup butter, at room temperature
For the Pumpkin Filling
2 cup canned unsweetened pumpkin puree
1 1⁄3 cup heavy cream
1 cup (packed) light brown sugar - I used 1/2 light and 1/2 dark
2 large egg
2 large egg yolk - I used 1 egg instead of 2 yolks
4 tsp. dark rum, optional - I omitted
1 tsp. pure vanilla extract
1 tsp. ground cinnamon
1⁄2 tsp. ground ginger
1⁄2 tsp. salt
For the Pecan Pie Filling
1 cup light or dark corn syrup - I used light
1⁄2 cup packed light brown sugar
4 tbsp. unsalted butter, melted
2 egg
2 egg yolk - I used 1 egg instead of 2 yolks
1 tsp. pure vanilla extract
1⁄2 tsp. ground cinnamon
1⁄4 tsp. salt
3 cups (about 14 oz.) pecan halves or pieces
For the crust
Preheat the oven to 350ºFC.
Using a wooden spoon or the paddle attachment of your mixer (I used a pastry blender), mix all of the crust ingredients together until coarse crumbs are formed. In a 9 x 13-inch baking dish, press down the crust.
Bake at 350ºF for about 15 to 20 minutes, or until the edges start to brown. The crust will rise slightly after baking. Let the crust cool completely at room temperature.
For the pumpkin filling
Pulse all ingredients together in a food processor (for a double batch, my ingredients didn't all fit in my food processor bowl, so I pulsed everything except the cream, them poured it into a bowl and whisked the cream in). Leave filling in bowl.
For the pecan filling: In a bowl, whisk together all ingredients except pecans until smooth.
To assemble
Preheat oven to 450. Give the pumpkin filling one last quick pulse, then remove bowl, rap it on counter to debubble batter, and pour filling into crust. Top pumpkin filling evenly with pecans, then pour over pecan filling. Poke down any pecans that float to the top and aren't covered with filling. Bake bars for 15 minutes.
Reduce oven temperature to 300° and bake for another 55-65 minutes, or until it is evenly puffed and a slender knife inserted into the center comes out clean. Transfer bars to a cooling rack and let it stand until it is just warm or until it reaches room temperature.

Zero-Waste Food Digester
This item is currently not available.
Additional Information
Exclusive | Zero-Waste Digester Handles What Composters Can't
- Dispose of all of your kitchen scraps, including dairy, meat and bones
- Reduce household waste in landfills
- Flat back allows placement against a fence or garden shed
Unlike a composter, a food digester lets you dispose of all of your kitchen scraps, including dairy, meat and fish scraps, bones and bread. Rather than producing compost for your garden, its purpose is to reduce household waste. Materials collect in a perforated underground basket, where earthworms and other soil organisms break them down into carbon dioxide, water and just a small amount of solid residue. Works best in a sunny spot with well-drained soil. May be used for disposal of pet waste, too.
Product Details
- Low-density polyethylene
- Above-ground portion is 23" in diameter x 34" H; basket is 15" in diameter and 18" H
- Installation requires digging a hole large enough for the basket to be underground
- A small amount of residue will eventually accumulate in the basket, requiring cleaning every few years

Comments about Zero-Waste Food Digester:
I have access to more than enough compost, so I was excited to find an attractive digester that would slowly leach my kitchen scraps into a garden bed. The digester is mostly attractive and the basket is large, but what is not shown on any picture or description is that the digester has a flat unattractive side with multiple bumps, holes, and other utilitarian looking things with no obvious purpose. Non of the installation instructions refer to any part of this. I was planning on placing my digester in a fully exposed sunny flower bed, but the ugliness of the flat side compelled me to put it up against a wall where there is less sun and drainage and so it probably will not work as well as it would have. Without this blemish I would have rated it five stars. I do also wish it connected a little more firmly to it's underground basket - it uses just one fairly loose connection. Four of the same or two tighter ones would have made it a much more secure fit. Despite all this, it is still the most attractive of the few food digesters out there and it does look nice up against a wall or fence.

Boots No7 Quick Thinking 4 in 1 Wipes Reviews
Quick Thinking ClothsThese are a great concept, but this formula in particular is too oily for me, does not get all of my make-up off, even if I've used more than one, and certainly does not leave my skin feeling clean. For the price, they're fine, but I'd rather pay a little more for something that is really going to get the job done right the first time. — 5 years, 6 months agoMissPoison | 249 reviews
Does the jobThese wipes do the job. The wipes are able to take off makeup, and even waterproof mascara. The only thing that I don't like is that it feels a bit rough on my skin. I do like that it can take off even the most stubborn eye liner in my arsenal. Although not everything comes off, the first time around, the second side swipe takes everything off. I do have to say that this works as well as the ...read moreother wipes out there. these are really good to use when you are running short on time or are heading out after the gym. The wipes make your face feel refreshed, especially after a long and sweaty workout. Stash these in your bag, in your bathroom and your carry-on when traveling. Oh, speaking of traveling, these make an excellent refresher if you are on an overnight flight. No need to use the lavatory water to wash your face! — 5 years, 10 months agosweettpea29 | 280 reviews

One of the better wipes I've usedI actually think the Boots wipes are better than any of the others I've used. They leave the skin soft, don't irritate the skin, remove the makeup and also eye makeup withou stinging the eyes. — 5 years, 4 months agoNicole1021 | 210 reviews
This product takes off some, but unfortunately still leaves traces of my makeup behind!This product works like baby wipes when it comes to the cleansing effects it provided my face.This is a product that I bought once and sure will never buy again.As, most cleansing wipes don't wow me. And, this was certainly one that didn't wow me at all! — 9 years, 6 months agoReservechic | 269 reviews
Love Love LoveI love these and have been using them ever since Boots products made it to the US, I used to always bring home products from GB, so happy I don't have to anymore! I have dry sensitive skin so for me washing everyday sometimes dries me out horribly, these have been great. I use them to remove all my makeup at night and they do a great job including my eyemake up. I find them to be soft and soothing. — 4 years, 7 months agoJenzyme | 24 reviews

its slightly better than okThis product is good for the gym. Or if you quickly want to remove make up. It does not remove all makeup. It left my skin slightly greasy, but I already have greasy skin. — 5 years, 1 month agoChastity47 | 4 reviews
Not badI've been using these wipes for a little while now. They do remove makeup quite well without much scrubbing however they leave some residue on my face. Overall they do their job but can't really replace an actual face wash. — 5 years, 2 months agokfed17 | 11 reviews
This wipe does the trickI like this wipe because it is a soft cloth and the cloths are not super soapy. They took off all of my makeup easy even the waterproof makeup I had on. I like that it has a resealable closure as well. — 7 years, 9 months agoLancomegirl | 13 reviews
Favorite so far!I'm always on the search for a good makeup remover wipe and I've tried 5 different types, and out of all 5, this has got to be my favorite one!

And I love how it easily removes fluidline! Majorrrrrrrrr plus!! — 8 years, 3 months agoFoOLiShxLaDy | 18 reviews
Value for the money.I love these wipes, they really clean your face and not in a harsh way. It takes your eye make up off. Although I only use undercover, it really does the job.

Genus: Antilocapra Species: americana
Pronghorns can run at speeds close to 60 miles per hour. Although pronghorns are not as fast as cheetahs, they maintain a fast speed for a longer period of time than cheetahs. When a cheetah has run out of energy, the pronghorn is still going. They're true marathon runners!
Even more amazing than its speed is the pronghorn's migration. Herds of pronghorns migrate 150 miles each way between Wyoming's Upper Green River Basin and Grand Teton National Park. The only other land animal to travel farther in North America is the caribou.
The 300 mile trip is grueling and requires crossing private property and fences. In the past, pronghorns had to worry about predators and cold weather. Today, the bigger threats are cars, impassable fences and development. The National Wildlife Federation and its affiliates are working hard to create wildlife corridors for pronghorns and other migratory wildlife and reduce conflicts between animals and people.
Description: Pronghorns are ungulates (hoofed animals) and related to goats and antelope. They have the body shape of a deer with long legs, short tail and a long snout.
The fur is a reddish-brown color, but it can also be tan or darker brown. Pronghorns have white markings on the face, neck, stomach and rump. The neck markings are white stripes. The rump has extra long white hairs that the pronghorn can stick up when scared. This also signals to other pronghorns that danger is nearby.
The most noticeable characteristic of pronghorns is also the source of their common name. Both males and females have a pair of short horns on the top of the head. The female's horns are small, usually only a bump. In contrast, the males' horns are around 10-12 inches long. They also have a unique shape, because unlike other ungulates, a pronghorn's horns point backwards. The horns extend straight up and then curve towards the rump. At the front of the horn is a small notch or prong that points forward. Hence the name, pronghorn!
Pronghorns have large eyes and fantastic vision. Their large eyes can spot predators from very far away, which is helpful on the flat grassland habitat of the Red Desert and the Great Plains.
Size: Pronghorns are about 4 ½ feet long, 3 feet tall and weigh between 90-150 pounds depending on the sex. Females weigh less.
Diet: Pronghorns are herbivores. They eat grasses, forbs, sagebrush and other prairie plants. Pronghorns digest their food twice. After they swallow food, it passes through the stomach and then the pronghorn regurgitates it. This process allows the pronghorn to break the plant material into smaller pieces so that more nutrients are absorbed. The regurgitated food is called cud.
They seldom drink water, because they receive most of their water from the plants they eat.
Typical Lifespan: Pronghorns have an average lifespan of around 10 years.
Habitat: Pronghorns like open plains, fields, grasslands, brush, deserts and basins. Between the summer and winter, pronghorns migrate between feeding grounds to survive the harsh winter.
Range: Pronghorns are only found in North America. Their natural range extended from southern Canada to northern Mexico. Today, pronghorns are mainly found in the United States in the Great Plains, Wyoming, Montana, northeast California, southeast Oregon, Nevada, Utah, Colorado, Arizona and New Mexico. Some of the highest numbers of pronghorn are in Wyoming in the Red Desert and Yellowstone ecosystems
Communication: Pronghorns depend on their strong vision to communicate. If a pronghorn spots a predator, it raises the white rump hairs. The white patch becomes larger and visible by other pronghorns. They know that the signal means to be on the alert – danger is near. Pronghorns also use smell to attract mates and signal danger.
Life History and Reproduction: Pronghorns breed in late summer or fall depending on their location – those in the southern part of the range tend to breed earlier. Males have breeding territories with a group of females that they defend against other males. Fighting between males can become very heated with aggressive movements and even physical combat. Some pronghorns can be seriously injured during these battles.
Male pronghorns breed with multiple females within their territory. After mating, the females are pregnant throughout the winter and they give birth in the spring. The females have either 1 or 2 fawns. Although fawns can stand within a day of birth, they are still weak for a few days and must be protected from predators. The fawns stay with their mother for about a year until they become independent.
The migration of pronghorns depends entirely on where the pronghorn lives. Some do not even need to migrate, because the nearby land has plenty of food all year long. The most famous pronghorn migration is also the longest land migration in the continental United States.
In November, the snow starts falling in Wyoming and the local pronghorn herd knows that it will not be long before the snow gets too deep. In small herds, they start migrating south from Grand Teton National Park across government land, private lands and ranches. For 3 days, the herd is on the move and sometimes the pronghorns have to travel under fences and near roads. If they make it to the Upper Green River Valley, then the pronghorns will make the journey back north to greener pastures in April. Several herds with about 400 pronghorns, make the 300 mile roundtrip journey.
Threats to Pronghorns:
Two subspecies of pronghorn are on the Endangered Species List. Peninsular pronghorns and Sonoran pronghorns are both listed as Endangered.

Only lost that quarter by four. That last stretch of the first half really seems like it did us in. Nice to see a little fight.

Would have been nice to see it again, but the Heat seem to be limited on the amount of replays they can show for some reason.
You would think players would have learned from Reggie Miller's mistake by now.
The refs have been equal opportunity screwers tonight. I just wanted to be on record saying that.
Good run to close the 3rd. Let's make them sweat a bit!

In his defense, i think he was too far away when he had to pick it up and go for the shot. of course he could have taken another step.
Come on, its time for LeChoke to come out.
Yeah, I'm so disillusioned.

Nice foul draw there.
PG wilted under the pressure tonight. Plain and simple

On the record, Im not blaming the refs i we lose this, the guys just did not want to play tonight,.
Turnover = points again.
Good one frank. What the ****.
this broadcast sucks. Just like us.
They really did. The heat just outplayed us in every facet tonight. You can make excuses all you want, but that's the truth.
There is no NBA player named Monte Ellis.

The money and the problems are the reason they want to trade him in the first place, he will not get a 1st in a trade, the only way they get a first is by adding something to the package.
Why so SERIOUS
According to ESPN 1500 Twin Cities, the "word circulating in league circles" is that Percy Harvin wants at least an annual $10 million in his new contract, with the "real goal" perhaps being $12 million or more.
$12 million annually would make Harvin the league's highest paid receiver not named Calvin Johnson or Larry Fitzgerald. Beat writer Tom Pelissero confirms Harvin's suspected contract demands are a "bigger issue" in trade talks than the draft picks it would take to acquire him. An AFC personnel executive "guesses" the Vikings could get a second- or third-round pick, along with another selection to "sweeten the pot." For his part, Pelissero thinks the situation could still go either way, ending in "reconciliation" with the Vikings or a one-way ticket out of town. Pelissero believes Harvin's unique skill-set, checkered medical history and "well-documented pattern of insubordination" will conspire to limit his market.
Loooooooool. Good luck with that, Percy.
After ponderingthis for a while I think we should go after another FA WR that would not have the baggage that he has. Plus that contract he is looking for is way off base to what would be offered. IS the guy talented? Yes, but is it worth it for our team? No.
+1..... Absolutely!!! The year the Colts won the SB is because the Colts were better balanced. I believe that is one reason even an elite team like the Patriots doesn't win it all anymore.
You know how hippos are made out to be sweet and silly, like big cows, but are actually extremely dangerous and can kill you with stunning brutality? The Pacers are the NBA's hippos....Matt Moore CBS Sports....
Reports say he was traded to the Seahawks.
The Seattle Seahawks have acquired Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Percy Harvin in exchange for multiple draft picks (including a first rounder) pending a physical, a person with knowledge of the transaction told USA TODAY Sports. The person spoke on the condition of anonymity because the move had not been announced by either team.
Russell Wilson gets yet another weapon.
There are two types of quarterbacks in the league: Those whom over time, the league figures out ... and those who figure out the league.
That wide receiving Corp is flat out crazy, Williams Sidney rice and harvjn good luck covering that
He is such a perfect fit to play with Russel Wilson and Pete Carrol's offense. I get why they gave up so much it should be worth it if he stays healthy. He is a game changer and a perfect guy for the WC offense.
His baggage scares me though he demanded Calvin Johnson money and gets into it with every coach who does he think he is?
The reason they won was the defense got hot (and Rex Grossman lol)but that team was all offense the defense wasn't where that team was built it was the offense. That defense was pretty bad until the playoffs when tehy went on a run and that is normally who wins the SB whoever gets hot.
Bill Polian did an interview on this subject at the combine it was pretty interesting IMO.
The Colts defense was very solid in 2005, 2007, and 2006 in the playoffs with Sanders back. Had Sanders been healthy in the 2006 regular season like he was in 2005 and 2007, then the defense would have looked much better throughout the season. He was that good.
That Polian link was interesting. I always enjoy listening to Polian talk football.
Sanders knew how to tackle and stop a guy. Such a shame his career was riddled with injuries. Sollozo has a point here, maybe it was one player only but he improved the defense with his presence. It's just not a coincidence that the defense got so much better during the playoffs of the SB season.
Not that it means something but when I watched my first ever Colts game, he was hands down the player who impressed me the most from the defense (Freeney came second) and I knew absolutely nothing about football at the time. You just can't help but notice Sanders' game when he is/was in there.
It's always a worry when a team trades one of their best player. What do you think it's the case here? Character and behaviour issues or that Vikings couldn't afford a new contract or even Harvin himself wouldn't commit?

DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. — Tony Stewart knows where victory lane is at Daytona International Speedway.
He has celebrated wins there several times, and yet he has not felt the euphoria that 35 NASCAR drivers have enjoyed.
PHOTOS: Sprint Cup paint schemes | NASCAR's new ride | Daytona 500 crashes
Stewart has won 18 times at the historic high-banked track, yet none of those have come in the Daytona 500, where Stewart is 0-for-14.
He owns three Cup championship trophies. He has earned 47 career Cup victories. His 18 wins in various races at Daytona rank him second all-time behind only Dale Earnhardt Sr.
Is that a great career? Yeah, but …
"At the end of the day, when you put the helmet up, you don't want to have to look back and have a 'yeah but,' " said three-time Cup champion Darrell Waltrip.
"Not winning at Daytona will always come up. As soon as you start talking about what you've done, somebody will say, 'Yeah, but you never did that.' "
Waltrip, now a NASCAR analyst for Fox, won the Daytona 500 on his 17th try and celebrated by doing the Icky Shuffle and spiking his helmet in victory lane.
Stewart, 41, probably wouldn't do much dancing—except with a couple of cases of Schlitz—but a win in NASCAR's biggest race Sunday would be one of the biggest of his illustrious career.
"You approach each year with the attitude of doing everything you can to win it," Stewart said. "If it doesn't happen, the only thing you can say is you have to wait 365 days to do it again. That's the reality of it.
"That's what makes the plane ride home suck."
PHOTOS: Saturday's horrific Nationwide crash, and its aftermath
If Stewart has any anxiety over whether he'll ever win NASCAR's premier event, he isn't showing it.
He appeared relatively calm and downright happy Friday after his final practice session.
So maybe the planets are aligned and this will be the year for Stewart, the year he finally gets that Daytona 500 victory.
He's been close. He finished second in 2004. He led going into the final lap in 2008 only to finish third. He led 107 laps in 2005 but finished seventh.
It's not like he doesn't know how to win a Cup race at Daytona. He has won four times on July Fourth weekend at Daytona, twice in Daytona 500 qualifying races and three times in the preseason shootout. He has six Nationwide Series wins and two IROC wins at Daytona.
But for some reason, the Daytona 500 has eluded him. A former IndyCar champion, it has haunting similarity to the Indianapolis 500, a race the hometown favorite competed in five times but hasn't won.
"Everything has to go right," Stewart said. "The Indy 500 is the same way. It's easy to compare those two because everything has to go right that whole day.
"You don't normally get the opportunity to have a mistake and come back from it. It just seems like it's hard to make up from a mistake."
Stewart also knows something about making mistakes or creating havoc at restrictor-plate races. He was leading the race at Talladega last October when his attempted block on Michael Waltrip caused a 25-car melee that had his car flying through the air upside-down. In the preseason race Saturday, he cut down on Marcos Ambrose and triggered another wreck.
But those failures don't seem to have impacted Stewart's confidence. He feels he has a strong car when it rolls off 13th on the starting grid Sunday.
"We've made it through the whole week without a scratch on that car, and it's about as ready as it can get for the 500, so I'm excited," Stewart said. "I feel like we've got a car that's capable of winning the race.
"It's just a matter of whether the driver does a good job behind the steering wheel and puts it in the right positions."
Obviously, that's easier said than done. Or for Stewart, it's easier to do whenever he's in a Daytona race that's not the Daytona 500.
It's a mystery.
"You do everything in your power to take care of the science or technology side, do everything you can to build the fastest car you've got," Stewart said.
"Then if you don't have the luck to go with it. Even if you don't have any drama with getting the car touched, nothing happens to the car, if you're just in the wrong spot at the wrong time at the end, it can take you out of the opportunity to take the best racecar in the field and a chance not to get through."
Stewart will be in the NASCAR Hall of Fame some day.
Rusty Wallace, just inducted earlier this month, never won at Daytona. Mark Martin, who has 40 career Cup victories, doesn't have a Daytona 500 win.
So it's not like Stewart doesn't have company in his Daytona 500 misery.
"I'd love to see Tony win it," Waltrip said. "He's been so good down here in everything he's been in. He's come so close. I know what it means for a guy his age at this point in his career.
"He's got a fast car. … I'd love to see him sit back, chill out a while and get to the end of this thing and have a shot at winning it."
And if he doesn't end up in victory lane? Stewart knows what that will feel like.
"(It) felt like you got mule-kicked and nothing you could do for a year—sit there and think about what you did wrong, what you could have done different," Stewart said.
"It's a miserable feeling."

G1250, Revised March 1987
The continuing search for a labor-saving method of hay harvest led to the development of the large round baler. At this time there are 15 manufacturers selling over 40 balers that produce large round bales of 400 to 2,300 pounds in size.
Three baler types are produced:
Ground roll balerAt the present time there is one ground roll baler being manufactured. Following are some of its characteristics. The bale rolls on the ground on top of the incoming windrow. The upper portion of the bale is confined by a series of cables and rollers. Ground roll bales have an average density of 11 to 12 pounds per cubic foot. Tractor power takeoff (PTO) horsepower requirements are in the 30 + horsepower range for ground roll balers.
Figure 1Ground roll baler. Lundell 760D: (A) pickup; (B) bale forming roller; (C) bale forming cables; (D) bale forming roller; (E) twine rollers; (F) second bale starter.
Expandable chamber balersBales formed in these balers have tension applied by either belts or chains and slats commonly called raddles. Tension is applied to the bale as the core is formed until the bale is completed. Some of the balers of this type produce a bale with a uniform density, while others produce a bale with a density at the outer diameter that is about double that at the center. Whole bale density averages from 10 to 17 pounds per cubic foot, and production averages from 6 to over 20 tons per hour. Tractor PTO horsepower requirements vary from 30 to 120 hp.
Figure 2Expandable chamber baler.
Carried fixed chamber balersThese balers tumble hay within the bale chamber until the last stages of formation, when tension is maintained by hydraulic pressure. The baling chamber is a series of belts or rollers. The operator reads a hydraulic pressure gauge to determine when a bale is done. These bales have a low density or soft-core center and an outer diameter density about double that of the center. Whole bale density averages from 10 to over 19 pounds per cubic foot, and production capacity is about 4 to 18 tons per hour. PTO power requirements are 30 to 70 hp.
Figure 3Carried fixed chamber baler.
Ground roll balersThis baler produces a lower density bale with irregular surfaces. Nonuniform windrows cause poor-quality bales. Irregular and lower density bales result in severe weathering with high moisture penetration. Pickup and bale-chamber losses are impossible to measure because hay is rolled on the ground, and all losses appear on the ground behind the pickup.
Carried expandable chamber balersGood bales are easier to make when windrows are large and uniform. Occasionally, the bale core is hard to start and might even need to be discharged and a new bale started. Bale formation is usually easier if an extended weave pattern is followed while baling. Some balers now weave automatically allowing the tractor to drive straight and produce a uniform bale. These balers can be used to produce bales varying in weight. Bales tend to be uniform in shape and density. Under most conditions, you back up the baler before discharging the bale. You must take care in lowering the rear gate or door, as expensive damage can occur if the gate strikes the unloaded bale as it closes. Driving forward before closing the gate prevents this. Some balers have an optional attachment that will cause the bale to move away from the rear gate. Twine consumption varies with bale size and number of wraps. From 150 to 450 feet per ton are needed, as compared to small square bales that need 670 feet per ton.
Carried fixed chamber balersWindrow size and shape is not as critical for these balers, and an extended weave is not needed when starting the bale because the hay tumbles loosely in the chamber. When the outer part of the bale is being formed, an extended weave driving pattern will be needed on irregular or light windrows, because as the hay is under tension and will not move across the chamber. For ideal bales, use the maximum bale chamber capacity.
Attachments available depend on the particular manufacturer. Horns or lights can be mounted on the tractor to signal when the bale is done. Some manufacturers offer bale sensing instruments that warn of an improperly shaped bale.
Manual, electric or hydraulic twine feeding mechanisms may be used. Automatic and dual twine feed mechanisms are also available. They speed up tying and make faster baling possible.
Tedder devices are being used to fluff wide wind-rows mashed down by tractor tires or to bring wide windrows to the same width as the baler pickup. Bale ejectors can move the bale away from the tailgate. Bale counters are standard equipment in most cases.
Two attachments available on some machines or from outside manufacturers are wrapping equipment for applying plastic completely around the bale and hay preservative equipment for metering chemical preservatives into the bale as it is formed.

WASHINGTON Among the many rules I grew up with, two stand out. The first was never call someone a liar, which was considered the worst possible character indictment one could issue. The accuser had best be prepared to fight or be fleet of foot.
The other was a dictum so oft-repeated that it is permanently tattooed on my brain: "If you'll lie by omission, you'll lie by commission."
This first rule sheds light on why it was so shocking when in 2009 Rep. Joe Wilson, R-S.C., shouted, "You lie!" as President Obama was addressing Congress. Beyond an insult to decorum, it was widely viewed as another tipping point in our descent into incivility.

I am trying to figure out which plot the user is right-clicking on in a XY Graph legend, where I have shown the plot scrollbar.
Using the Legend coordinates and the Mouse right-click coordinate and a user menu item, I can figure which region of the legend the user clicked in.
That, in principle should allow me to determine which plot the user selected, except in a case like this:
In this case, the user scrolled down the list and I will be off by one plot using simple algebra.
The problem is, as far as I can tell, that there is no way to figure out the position of the scrollbar (or since the legend is an array of clusters, the element in top visible position).
Am I correct or did I overlook some property that would get me there?
There are several things to figure out. First, how many plots do you have? [Your example has two, though you can scroll down the selection list to a third "blank" entry]. The easiest way to do this is to take the 2-D array going into the plot and look at the size of the first dimension -- this is the number of plots.
I'm not sure what you want to do with the "Plot ID" box, but your example shows the Visibility boxes. Suppose you want to know which plots are visible.
What you basically have to do is to make each plot "active" and check its "Visibility" property. However, this can be done with a single Property node, taking advantage of the fact that node entries are processed in a "top-down" fashion.
Here's how it looks as a snippet. "MyPlot" is the plot, itself. The Array Size and Index get the number of plots. I actually had a property node for MyPlot inside the For loop, but it got "converted" when I made the snippet. The point is you make each plot "Active", then ask if it is Visible. You can similarly set it to be visible, or change its color, or anything else you want. Hope this answers your question.
OK, sorry my bad again...
I am in fact trying to handle a user shortcut menu which will delete the plot the user is right-clicking on IN THE LEGEND. So basically, the only thing I know is WHERE in the legend the click occured (using one of rhe VIs I posted here).
Since there could be many many plots, I have to show the scrollbar (or the plot index) to allow the user to first show the plot in the legend and THEN right-click on it.
My problem is that I can't find a property that will tell me which plot sitting at the top of the list visble in the legend (Plot 1 in my example). So my coordinate info can tell me: the user click in the region where the first, second, etc displayed plot is shown, but if I allow the user to scroll in this list, that's not enough info to deduce what the plot index is.
Hence my question (before I make a request if the answer is a confirmed NO): is there a property that wil tell me which plot is displayed at the top of the list in the legend?
PS: my temporary solution is to disable the scrollbar in the legend :-(
Well, I strongly suspect that the answer to your particular question is, indeed, "No". But if what you want to do is to allow the user to click in the legend and delete a plot (as opposed to simply make in "invisible"), why not detect which plots are not visible and then delete them? Won't that accomplish the same thing? [It will, of course, cause the plots to be renumbered, but if you've "named" them ... I was going to say, the names would "stick", but realize I have no idea if that is true! However, you could certainly "rebuild" the plot, saving and restoring things like plot names, scales, colors, etc.].
No, that won't work. Invisible needs to be a different attribute than deleted (you may want to hide a plot temporarily to better check others). Plus you'll notice that the check box is not a "close" box, so it would be very unnatural to use it as a "close" box...
Obviously, I modify the remaining plot attributes after the selected plot is deleted. And I also allow the user to delete the plot from the plot area. I just thought it was convenient to do it from the legend as well.
I guess I will post the suggestion in the Idea Exchange forum... I actually don't understand how NI forgot about this property, as it is basic for any array control/indicator, and that's what the legend is: an array of clusters, basically.
I seems like the only thing you would need for your other Vi's to work with a scroll bar was if the legend index was atleast readible. There is an idea exchange for that here. I will see if any other engineers have an idea or possibly if its hidden somewhere else.
Thanks for the link. I'll concur there and link back here so that you guys have one more illustration of the need for this functionality.
Definitely seems like an important missing property. I think I can probably sneak this into 2013 for you guys
Just don't forget to provide a description of it in the Help...
It looks like you can "fudge" it if you really need to. I was just testing pulling out colors from an image capture (pixmap).
It would be a combination of what row they clicked with grabbing the color on that row and comparing it to your waveform colors...
I did not code it up completely but I did enough to know it would work OK.
You can find the code to grab a pixmap pixel color here:

Trumbo familiar with Sydney Cricket Ground
SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. -- When the D-backs play at the Sydney Cricket Ground next week, it won't be the first time that left fielder Mark Trumbo has visited the stadium.
Trumbo has friends in Australia, and he attended a cricket game there around five years ago.
"I thought it was cool," Trumbo said. "The Cricket Ground was really nice and the energy was awesome."
The stadium has been renovated since then, but Trumbo is confident that one thing has stayed the same.
"The fans, they're very passionate and loud," he said. "Hopefully, we can win a few of them over."

Jones School accounting professor, Shiva Sivaramakrishnan, the Henry Gardiner Symonds Professor of Accounting, will receive the 2012 Impact on Management Accounting Practice Award along with his co-authors Ramji Balakrishnan (University of Iowa) and Eva Labro (University of North Carolina) on Friday during the awards luncheon at the Management Accounting Section Midyear Conference in New Orleans. The paper, entitled "Product costs as decision aids: An analysis of alternative approaches (Parts 1 and 2)," was published in 2012 in Accounting Horizons.
"Receiving this award is truly an unexpected honor for me," he said. "Practical relevance has always been a key motivating factor for me in my research, and so it is gratifying to be recognized for my contributions to management accounting practice."
The Impact on Managerial Accounting Practice Award recognizes a single article every year that is judged to have the greatest potential impact on managerial accounting practice. The award is sponsored by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants and the Chartered Institute of Management Accountants.
Karen Nelson, the Harmon Whittington Professor of Accounting and Accounting Area Coordinator, said of her colleague, "We are very fortunate to have a scholar and colleague of Shiva's caliber in the Jones School accounting group. For him to be recognized with this award shows the type of far-reaching impact he is having on the accounting profession."
Prior to his current position at Rice University, Dr. Shiva Sivaramakrishnan held tenured faculty positions at Carnegie Mellon University, Texas A&M University, and the University of Houston. Most recently, he held the Peggy Pittman Eminent Scholar Chair at the Mays Business School, Texas A&M University. Shiva has taught courses in management accounting and financial reporting at undergraduate and graduate levels and in MBA and Executive MBA programs, and has won awards for teaching excellence. He has coauthored a popular text book on managerial accounting.

Not a bad movie at all. I'd place this in the second tier of Jim Carrey flicks. Not quite up there with the Ace Venturas, The Mask, Dumb and Dumber, or Bruce Almighty, but on par with the likes of, say, Liar Liar.

Freddy's Dead: The Final Nightmare
Pretty damn bad movie, though ironically, one of Robert Englund's very best performances.
My Cousin Vinny - 9/10
This one ages like wine and is still just as great on the 84th viewing. Definitely near the top of the Most Underrated Flicks list.
Don't ask Marvin Harrison what he did during the bye week. "Batman never told where the Bat Cave is," he explained.

I honestly didn't care much for D&D after my first viewing. I decided to watch it again, though, and was hooked after the second time. I'm actually thinking about buying the Blu-Ray of it this week.
The Matrix Reloaded
The Matrix Revolutions
I actually liked them a little better this time around.
Dumb and Dumber is a comedy classic. Saying you don't like that movie is like saying you don't like Blazing Saddles.
Blazing Saddles is funny. Dumb and Dumber is boring.
Wow did I ever like this movie. Just a great job of showing the craziness that goes into religion and what people believe. It is a documentary in the same vein as a Michael Moore film in that he is pushing his own agenda but I already agree with just about everything he said and it was cool to see it unfold. Best movie I have seen in ages.
I've been meaning to catch Religulous. Is it available to rent yet?
I dont think so. I got an early copy via internet. I had been waiting for months to see it.
Bought Planet Terror on DVD today, love it.
I didn't really like Religilous. I mean, it's just Bill Maher highlighting an orthodoxy whose orthodoxy is making fun of everyone else's orthodoxy. The only thing I took from it is that we're all crazy in some shape or form, and I don't think that's what Bill intended, but hey.
Valkyrie. Excellent movie (as expected from Bryan Singer). I don't know what all the negative press is about.
Disturbia - 6/10
Caught this on a bus cause I was too tired to read a book and was expecting utter trash -- especially since it's basically just a bastardized Rear Window. But it was actually very engaging, well structured/paced and relatively suspenseful, even if the entire final 20 minutes are completely over the top and absurd. More importantly, Shia continues to surprise me with his ability to not come off as a douchebag and/or dunce and that broad is a fox. Sorta looking forward to Transformers 2 now for another winning combination of those two things.

I just finished watching old school with Will Ferrell. Pretty funny movie if you like that kind of comedy.
I too think Liar, Liar is in the top tier of Carrey movies (D&D was great though).
You, Never? Did the Kenosha Kid?
Once you hit 40 it becomes rather disturbing.

Well I don't really care for D and D but I love Blazing Saddles.
Don't ask Marvin Harrison what he did during the bye week. "Batman never told where the Bat Cave is," he explained.
Cause people were expecting Bond meets Saving Private Ryan.
I went for the history of the movie. It was no der untergang, but it was intriguing.
Little Children - 8/10
This is a slow, dialogue-driven movie from In the Bedroom director Todd Field about the doldrums of passionless life in suburban America, focusing on the interacting lives of a stay-at-home mom, a stay-at-home dad, a careerless shamed police officer and a pedophile.
The whole thing follows a fairly predictable plot line (some of which is Crash-level cornball), but most of the sequential developments of the story aren't really the point. The story is more told through the reactionary shots, body language and awkward character interactions in response to the dialogue/events that occur throughout -- something that the director and the acting performances craft into a riveting and clever exposition on this topic.
One other interesting notes it the narration device that Field uses often throughout, something that is stand-out for the wry/ironic, half nature-documentary/half-NFL Films feel it adds to the film.
A lot of people won't like this movie at all, but I thought it was a very, very well made one.

As the warmer weather arrives in Washington, the time is ripe to explore some of the unique natural features of the area. One local favorite is the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal, better known as the C & O canal. There, you can take a walk or bike ride along the edge of the Potomac River, using the tow path that stretches the 184.5 miles from Georgetown, all the way to Cumberland, Maryland. The area provides a fabulous place to spend the day outdoors, enjoy some fabulous scenery, and perhaps even catch a glimpse of some wildlife.
The towpath is reminiscent of the canal's rich history as a transportation conduit in the area. Many of the original structures including aqueducts, water "locks" (gates used to control the flow of water), and the lock-houses are still present, and some, still active.
To begin to explore the C & O canal and Potomac River valley for yourself, ask your friendly innkeeper for the best directions to your destination. The canal region also offers opportunities for boating, kayaking and biking. Let us know how we can help you plan an excursion that best suits your interests, and if we can be of assistance in storing any of your equipment needs, such as bicycles, or pointing you in the direction of rentals.

We may be hopelessly conflicted on climate change, addicted as we are to that most practical of drugs, fossil fuel. We can't seem to get gun rights in our sights or to right-size our government. The din that yet surrounds both reproductive rights and same-sex unions continues, and it's as shrill as a bad 1980s hair band.
But the battle over Obamacare is over.
Last week, Florida Gov. Rick Scott officially threw in the towel, joining a half-dozen other Republican governors who've recently conceded after having spent the past three-plus years railing against President Barack Obama's landmark health care reform legislation, the Affordable Care Act of 2010 -- aka Obamacare.
What makes Scott's sudden change of heart more significant than that of, say, Gov. Jan Brewer of Arizona, Gov. Susana Martinez of New Mexico or Gov. John Kasich of Ohio?
Two things: 1) Scott, a former hospital executive elected in 2010 as a tea party-backed reformer, led the 26-state constitutional challenge against health care reform that was largely rejected by the U.S. Supreme Court last summer; and 2), he caved on the one concession that the Supreme Court was willing to grant, which was to make health care reform's vast expansion of Medicaid optional for states, rather than mandatory.
Scott's pivot quickly incited his right-wing base, which labeled his change of heart a blatant samba to the political center in anticipation of a 2014 re-election catfight with former Gov. Charlie Crist, who recently switched from Republican to Democrat for much the same reason.
What the tea party failed to recognize is that Scott, who made his fortune as a bottom-line kinda guy, could hardly ignore the math. Florida has roughly 4 million uninsured, or about 1 in 5 residents. The proposed expansion of Medicaid would provide health insurance to more than 1 million of them, and the feds have offered to pay 100 percent of the cost to add them for the first three years beginning in 2014, sliding to 90 percent from 2020 on.
The expansion will not only save billions in "free" health care that hospitals provide by law to the uninsured (the expense of which is then passed on in the form of higher health insurance premiums), but it will also create roughly 71,000 jobs in the Sunshine State.
Sure, there are still a few GOP holdouts, including Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal, South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley and Texas governor and former presidential candidate Rick Perry. But faced with uninsured populations equal to or greater than Rick Scott's 20 percent or so, the governors may decide that practicality will have to overcome politics when the numbers have all been crunched.

Fairfax County Pandemic Flu Response Plan
Fairfax County is taking a coordinated approach to planning for pandemic flu – a global outbreak of a novel strain of influenza with efficient human-to-human transmission. County pandemic flu planners have produced a pandemic influenza response plan that will supplement the county's emergency operations plan, and remain flexible as information is added or changed.
The county's effort began in fall 2005, and involves numerous county agencies, the cities of Fairfax and Falls Church, the towns of Herndon and Vienna, as well as private sector groups and partner organizations. County planning initiatives are being undertaken in accordance with the emergency plans of the Virginia Department of Health, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and the World Health Organization. In addition, county officials are involved with National Capital region efforts being led by the Washington Metropolitan Council of Governments.
Deputy County Executives Rob Stalzer and Verdia Haywood co-chair the county's Pandemic Flu Executive Team. The executive team provides guidance to the county's Emergency Management Coordinating Council (the leadership team), which oversees two coordinating committee work groups: the Public Health Coordinating Committee and the Critical Infrastructure and Resource Management Coordinating Committee. The county's planning efforts include representatives from approximately 30 county agencies.
The Public Health Coordinating Committee, co-chaired by Gloria Addo-Ayensu, MD, MPH, and Raja'a Satouri, MD, of the Fairfax County Health Department, includes eight public health work groups. These work groups are organized based on topic areas such as community and disease prevention, laboratory and surveillance, first responders and mass casualty, and essential needs.
The Critical Infrastructure and Resource Management Coordinating Committee, chaired by the coordinator of Emergency Management, and Merni Fitzgerald, director of the Office of Public Affairs, will address critical infrastructure such as public works, transportation, schools, information technology, human resources and utilities as well as private sector critical infrastructure and pandemic flu planning.
If you need additional non-health related information, please call 703-FAIRFAX (324-7329), TTY 711. For health related questions and/or to request a pandemic flu speaker for your organization, please call the Fairfax County Health Department at 703-246-2411, TTY 711.

Titanic Aftermath by Michael Wehrli is a stage play based on the Senate Hearing transcripts, the British Inquiry and survivor accounts. The play has been scrupulously researched with the goal of being the most accurate artistic portrayal of the Titanic tragedy. The original production was viewed by two Titanic historians and Muffet Laurie Brown, the great-granddaughter of Molly Brown. All three said it was the most accurate portrayal of the Titanic's story they had seen in a dramatic medium. http://www.titanicaftermath.com/

Motley Fool Money Returns to Campus for Live-Taping
How has the rough winter impacted the financial world? What's the monetary value of this year's Academy Award goodie bag?
What does the collapse of Bitcoin exchange platform Mt. Gox mean for the digital currency?
This and more was discussed during the live taping of the Motley Fool Money radio show on campus Thursday, February 27. For the second year, the gang from the Alexandria, Virginia-based company recorded their top-rated show from the Abramson Family Recital Hall in the Katzen Arts Center.
Professor Jeffrey Harris, faculty advisor of the Student Managed Investment Fund (SMIF) and the Gary D. Cohn Goldman Sachs Chair in Finance welcomed the show back to campus. Three of his SMIF students participated in the show's stocks to watch segment.
Nick Mairone, BSF '14, pitched energy company Hess Corporation (HES) during the show.
"Hess is in a good spot where they're not too small that they can't diversify their holdings and work new technologies but they're not a giant like Exxon who is so big they can't be flexible," he said.
Jonathan Wallen, BS/CAS '15 and finance minor in Kogod, chose biomedical company Myriad Genetics (MYGN) as his stock.
"There have been a few recent catalysts [in the genetic screening world] that are only going to make Myriad more successful," he said.
And Randy Nordby, MSF '15, pitched data security firm Checkpoint Software (CHKP), citing the recent security breaches at companies like Target as increasing the public's desire for increased network security.

Q How does smoking marijuana compare to driving after having too many beers and being legally drunk? Is pot a major contributor to crashes?
Bill Bryan
A This is worrisome. National highway safety researchers say drugs are playing an increasing role in fatal traffic accidents, accounting for more than 28 percent of road deaths in 2010, which is 16 percent more than in 1999. Marijuana was the main drug involved in the increase, being a factor in 12 percent of fatal crashes in 2010, compared to only 4 percent in 1999.
Police in Colorado say that while traffic fatalities increased 16 percent from 2006 to 2011, deaths involving drivers testing positive for just marijuana increased 114 percent during the same period. A similar survey of 1,300 California drivers pulled over last year on Friday and Saturday nights found that more tested positive for drugs than for alcohol, and that the most prevalent drug detected was marijuana.
Q Gary, I know you are a busy man, and I hesitate to bother you, but there is a sore spot that I drive by every day. The construction area at 280/880 up past Stevens Creek Boulevard is LOADED with graffiti on every available vertical surface — the movable concrete barriers, the new sound walls, the undersides of the overpasses, the green temporary fences. BIG graffiti and more is added every day.
Some of the tags were done when the construction began and have remained there these many months. It just gets worse and worse. Can ANYTHING be done to clear the graffiti?
Please, please?
Loui Tucker
Adopt-A-Highway organizer
A I am not too busy to assist one of my favorite Adopt-A-Highway organizers. The VTA has directed the contractor to paint over graffiti on the new concrete panels. This should happen this week.
Q What is the name of the app to get light rail arrival information?
Mark Loundy
A TransLoc.
Q Can you tell me why the city added an extra right-turn lane to the southbound offramp from Highway 85 at Great Oaks? They lengthened the turn lanes, added a more complex signal and changed the timing of the light going straight on Great Oaks. I've been getting off at this exit for 13 years and never once have I noticed a backup to turn right. This seems totally unnecessary to spend the money on improving an offramp with little traffic.
Jeff Powell
San Jose
A It's called looking ahead. This was identified as a need for the development currently under way on the former Hitachi site. These improvements are funded by the developer and will hopefully address the projected increase in traffic due to this development.
Q I've been commuting in a Nissan Leaf electric car for several years. It's amazingly cheap to own and drive, and fun. The only difficult part has been resisting the urge to wave at all the Mercedes and Porsche drivers stuck in the regular lanes, as I sail by in the HOV lane.
Deane Gardner
A I envy any driver these days who can "sail" during the commute.

Library District Receives SIPA Grant
March 13, 2013
The Grand County Library District (GCLD) has been awarded a $6500 grant by the Statewide Internet Portal Authority (SIPA). GCLD will be using the funds to digitize historic Grand County newspaper archives, making it available and accessible for free, online on the History Colorado website at coloradohistoricnewspapers.org and through a link on the GCLD website at gcld.org.
For those who treasure Grand County's past, are conducting research or looking into family history, the easy online access will be an invaluable tool.
When they are uploaded, the Grand County archives will join the History Colorado website collection of 600,000 digitized pages of Colorado newspapers from 1859 to 1963. Compared to the laborious process of searching on the microfiche machine, the digitized content is easy to use. The newspapers can be searched by text, title or date range and then printed, downloaded or e-mailed. History Colorado report their website is growing in popularity with an annual usage of 94,192 visits, of which 12% of visitors to the site spend more than an hour searching and browsing its contents.
The SIPA grant will cover uploading the Middle Park Times of Kremmling from 1908 – 1917 to the History Colorado website. Although it is a great start, these years represent a small portion of the rich heritage of Grand County Library District's microfiche newspaper collection. Existing records date from the Grand Lake Prospector of 1883 and include copies of newspapers from the entire County to the present day. It is hoped the SIPA funds will be the start of an effort to make more years of Grand County's historic newspapers accessible online.
History Colorado estimates it may take up to six months to complete the work of uploading the 1908-1917 Middle Park Times. The existing microfiche newspaper records will remain available at the Granby Library.

I love this current group of players and am glad to see Danny return. I just love this team together, this core is starting to rival the 90's core for me and I never thought I would ever say that about the Pacers 3 years ago.
lol who is Miami's all star player coming off the bench? Ray Allen? lol, Lance Stephenson > Ray Allen, Granger is starting not coming off bench
I heard there was a secret Dan
That Vogel played and it pleased the fans
But you don't really care for the Pacers, do you?
It goes like this
The dunks, the threes
The Pistons fall, the Pacers lift
The baffled fans composing hallelujah....
agree with you, @Miami Heat are special team no comparison to Indiana and others
Why you Grimpin?
I'm sure he'll start having "flu-like symptoms" right before tipoff.
Knock the rust off Danny like a used car on the road- then detail him for Tuesdays unvailing before the home crowd.
Started from the bottom? Dude was rich when he was a preteen. He was Jimmy Wheelchair on the Canadian Soap, Degrassi.
All I can picture when I read this is the Nite Owl/Silk Spectre sex scene from Watchmen.....makes it weird.

Lance is finally home. Whether he becomes our starting PG or he's 6th man, he's getting big minutes and he's here to stay. #llortontnia
Wish it was last night, but I'm still stoked for tonight.
I wonder how much money he could earn just doing half time shows at NBA games and showing up for other events the way Quick Change does?
Probably a decent living, yet still less than an NBA contract, I would guess.
I didn't make this video, but I think watching it gives me some hype
"Josh Smith Re-building the city of Detroit one brick at a time"Originally Posted by Piston Prince
Y'know, this is something I should look into. Get a monkey and teach it to ride my dog. I mean think about it, get to travel the country, gotta assume you get free tix for all the games you perform at. More importantly, you have a monkey that rides a dog! Don't imagine the benefits are very good though.
Scott Agness confirmed again he's playing tonight.
He also said he'll be coming off the bench for "the first few weeks" and then said:
"The team wanted to ensure 1) his knee responded well to numerous practices, 2) the schedule would allow him to ease back, a la no b-2-b."
Now, our next b2b is Thur the 28th and Friday the 1st, vs LAC and @TOR, so I think this means he will not play in one of those two games.
After that, the next b2b is not until the middle of the month, March 15th/16th, vs LAL and @ PHI. So probably the same deal then.
We then immediately have two more sets of b2b, 18/19th @CLE and vs ORL, then 22/23rd vs MIL and @CHI.
That covers the next month. Maybe around that time he can start playing in b2b's? Next one after that is 27/28th @HOU and @DAL.
I know it's off topic but that was horseshi. What the hell happened to Drake?
I just put that song because it gets me pumped and talking about the Pacers Starting from the bottom now we are here. Title Contenders.
Why you Grimpin?
Last nights game marked the season is 2/3 over. I'm just not sure with 27 games to go is enough time to bring Lance in with the 2nd unit and expect great success, or Granger into the starting role with keeping the same chemistry and success. To me, the timing into the season just isn't ideal, earlier in the season would have been fine. Hope my concern ends up being nothing more than my concern.
If that was true then why would any team with a shot want to make a move at the deadline? If there isn't enough time to get a player acclimated with a team, that has played his entire career in the same franchise, then why would they want to bring in complete strangers?
If it doesn't work, Vogel will just switch them back..
Danny cannot guard LeBron like PG can. Also, I do not want to see PG chasing Wade around. It's just a waste of his energy and talents.
We have a great matchup advantage with Miami. Why go back to what didn't get it done last year?
Let Danny destroy their backups when LeBron is off the floor. He should also backup West against the Heat. He is not the best choice to guard LeBron just as he wasn't last year.
BTW, there is a common misconception that our starters beat the Heat starters last year. That is not true at all.
Lance is finally home. Whether he becomes our starting PG or he's 6th man, he's getting big minutes and he's here to stay. #llortontnia
