What's being said in the forum now?Click to join the Vital Blackburn forum!
Right, here we go again with another week of footballing events on and off the field�
Brett Emerton is still being linked with Middlesbrough with an expected �1million deal about to take place tomorrow?
There is talk of more conflict with our Premiership opener rivals Portsmouth. They alleged want to lock horns with us in a battle to sign Dutch defender Andre Ooijer of PSV Eindhoven. Apparently though we have met up with his agent so who knows we may bag us another defensive force. Click Here for Full Article
Our striker Shefki Kuqi is subject to a Birmingham move. Bruce wants him as Cameron Jerome has been suspended and Birmingham could do with an additional striker. With Jason Roberts, Francis Jeffers and Benni McCarthy added to our strike force, I am sure he is well down the list. Wigan might also join the chase as they don`t appear to be getting anywhere with their bid to re-sign Nathan Ellington.
Florent Sinama-Pongolle is set to join Spanish team Osasuna. Shame that as I felt he did quite well for us last season on loan but guess we got our strike force sorted.
Steven Reid has been talking about his commitment to Blackburn and how he felt he owed it to the club and the supporters to sign that new deal. He had a good season recently and is a good asset to us and it`s good that we have negotiated to keep him for another four years. He shows what loyalty is about. Click Here for Full Article
Ryan Nelsen for now is still a Rovers player. Hughes has rejected Portsmouth`s �4.7m bid for him as he wants to keep him, and has made him an improved offer.Tuesday 8th August 06
Andre Ooijer has been reported to have assured Hughes that he will be signing for us by the end of the week. Perhaps he was attracted to the prospect of playing in Europe. He will cost us �1million and it now looks like Emerton will be heading out to Middlesbrough.
Ryan Nelsen could after all be heading to Portsmouth. Hughes would now have sufficient cover at centre-back and it could be appealing making up to �5million for a player that cost us nothing?
Steven Reid has been handed a place in the Republic of Ireland squad to face Holland. I wonder if he`ll be facing Andre Ooijer?
South African Aaron Mokoena has been offered a new three year contract and talks are supposed to be currently taking place. There is less than 12 months remaining and without a new deal he could move on for nothing.Wednesday 9th August 06
Robbie Savage has been reflecting on the past season and admits that he needs to clean up his act. The recent campaign saw him receive his first ever red card in club football and a total of 12 yellows. I don`t feel that he is a real dirty player, perhaps just a little hasty and mistimed the odd tackle! He has also set himself another target of being on target more with an improved goals return. Click Here for Full Article
It`s good to see there have been many International call-ups for the squad with 14 representing their countries. Lucas Neill and Brett Emerton for Australia, Jason Brown for our neighbours Wales, new star Benni McCarthy and Aaron Mokoena representing South Africa, Shefki Kuqi and Peter Enckelman for Finland, Morten Gamst Pedersen for Norway and Steven Reid for Ireland. Zurab Khizanishvili will feature for Georgia and Sergio Peter of Germany and Jay McEveley of Scotland will compete at U-21`s level with Sergio winning his first call-up. Also fellow Scot Stephen Thomson will represent the U-19`s whilst Swede Martin Olsson will also compete at same level. Good luck to all you lads. Click Here for Full Article
Damn it we lost our penultimate friendly this evening against Dutch side Sparta Rotterdam 1-0. Let`s hope we can stick it to Ryan Nelsen`s Kiwi`s on Saturday in our final friendly before the big kick-off. But what about Nelsen? If fit who will he play for if at all� Click Here for Full ArticleThursday 10th August 06
We lost last night to Sparta Rotterdam 1-0 which isn`t the result we were looking for but Sparky felt it was a good workout. It appears that there were a lot of positives from the game and some of the players that do not regularly feature got a run about. We have one remaining pre-season left and let`s hope that it`s a cracker. As Hughes says, positive results are preferred but from the big kick off is when you have to get results.
Jason Brown played his first 90 minutes in goal and was reported that he did not disappoint. It is said that he pulled off a couple of stunning saves and looked very confident in goal. It`s good to see that we have a good alternative/up and coming keeper for the future.
There was news of another International call up today. David Bentley will be representing the England U21 squad in a European Championship qualifier. Bentley has scored 3 goals in his last 4 international appearances so lets hope he scores some more and brings that goalscoring form to Ewood Park this season hey!
Jerome Watt has signed for Northampton Town on non-contract terms.
The 21-year-old winger was with us until the summer but only ever really played in the reserves. He also went on loan to feeder club Cercle Brugge.Friday 11th August 06
Our current target Andre Ooijer has been speaking of his frustration with current club PSV Eindhoven and how they will not negotiate a sensible transfer fee. He now has only one year left to run on his contract and a year ago the club were willing to let him leave to another club for �1.5 million but want considerably more from us this season.
It`s crazy to think that he is in the final year of his contract, yet they want more for him now than when he had 2 years remaining. I guess they`re either keen to keep him or are getting greedy. Let`s hope we get him as he has a lot to offer as he is a quality international footballer, as well as being keen to work under our leader Sparky.Saturday 12th August 06
We had a great result today against New Zealand winning 5-0. I wanted a cracker, and a cracker we got! You`ll get people "giving it all that" about the quality of New Zealand but all the same, it is a moral booster ahead of the new season. McCarthy netted twice to make it three in three games, Jason Roberts also scored two and Steven Reid was on the score sheet. Click Here for Full Article
The early signs from McCarthy are very encouraging and I did not expect any less from him as I`ve always said I think he would shine. I`m sure he will carry it over to league form.Sunday 13th August 06
Rumour has it once again that Middlesbrough are to swoop for Brett Emerton as one of a couple of deals next week. They have been talking about it for a while now but such news has always been brushed aside as speculation with no apparent approaches. But it appears now that negotiations will advance next week as he is still to sign a new deal as Hughes had wanted. We`ll just have to watch and see what happens.
The link with Andre Ooijer is still being talked about but it appears there is a lot of uncertainty as he is preparing to return to training with PSV Eindhoven. Ooijer claims that he wants to join us but PSV claim that there has been no Rovers bid. Hopefully talks will progress as Ooijer was not scheduled and as it happens did feature for PSV against Ajax in the Dutch Super Cup today.

Chief U.N. weapons inspector Hans Blix told reporters after the meeting that an advance party of inspectors could be sent to Baghdad in around two weeks.
"The Iraqi representatives declared that Iraq accepts all rights of inspection provided for in all the relevant Security Council resolutions," Blix said. "There is a willingness to accept inspections that has not existed before."
Blix had initially pressed for unconditional access to Hussein's palaces and designated sites, a critical US demand, but cited the "Memorandum of Understanding of 1998," between Iraq and United Nations Secretary-General Kofi Annan which says inspectors are not allowed to visit the presidential sites unannounced and must be accompanied by a team of international diplomats when they do. For now, Blix says, inspectors will not visit those presidential sites.
Blix said that the Iraqis had also handed over four CDs containing reports of weapons activity in the country for the last four years. Blix said the information could fill in holes left after Iraq barred inspectors from re-entering in 1998.
U.S. State Department spokesman Richard Boucher said the Bush administration opposes the return of inspectors at this point, telling reporters, "We feel the inspectors should not go in until there is a resolution that gives them the authority and instructions of the Security Council."
Late Tuesday, Secretary of State Colin Powell said the U.S. would continue to pursue a new U.N. resolution on Iraq. Powell told the NewsHour Monday that the Bush administration wanted the U.N. to pass a resolution that would clearly state Iraq was in breach of U.N. regulations and create "a tough set of conditions for any new inspection regime."
Meanwhile, President Bush said he could not accept the language of a compromise resolution offered by Sens. Joe Biden (D-Del.) and Richard Lugar (R-Ind.), telling reporters, "I don't want to get a resolution which ties my hands."
The compromise resolution encourages Bush to exhaust diplomatic efforts at the UN before using force and makes clear that the primary reason for military action would be to dismantle Iraq's weapons of mass destruction instead of a regime change. The compromise would authorize the president to use military force against Iraq, but would not allow Mr. Bush to widen the scope of the congressional approval to other areas in the Middle East, as he has requested.
Senate Majority Leader Tom Daschle (D-S.D.) said the Senate could begin debate on Iraq as early as Wednesday. The House is expected to start its debate next week.

CHATTING WITH TYLER MALEK, Salt & Straw's head ice cream maker, one senses what it would've been like to speak with a young Thomas Keller, Wylie Dufresne, or Marco Pierre White. Greatness awaits him on his chosen path; in his enthusiasm, imagination, and utter lack of pretense are the raw materials of a young master. The unrestrained wealth of flavors in his repertoire, and the artistic intuition with which he employs them, is inspired. Vinegars, oils, marrow, salumi, smoked fruit, and more would be hopeless gimmickry in the wrong hands, but here, their inclusion in ice cream is handled with a fundamental sense of liaison. And those are the hard ones to get right—his work with no-brainer flavorings is already legendary.
The shop he and cousin Kim Malek began a year ago has a timeless air to it. Far from the contrived, olde-timey Victorianisms of the archetypal ice cream parlor, the found Americana and salvaged fixtures are right at home in a bohemia whose affection for nostalgia is a cornerstone of its identity. If they didn't have ice cream, I'd probably try to buy the furniture.
At the center of it all is a roster of 15 flavors: eight fairly fixed favorites and seven seasonal creations. Tyler Malek's standards begin with a 17 percent butterfat cream—high for the industry, and for good reason: He posits that our primal, involuntary response to fat can only be positive, our taste buds thanking us for the rich sustenance. His ice creams are truly creamy, thick, and velvety. Next to a scoop of commercial ice cream, they are cashmere contrasted with wool.
The overwhelming public favorite of the assortment is a sea salt ice cream with caramel ribbon. The texture of the caramel, which is personally made by Malek to maintain a viscid pull when frozen, is thick and luxurious. The custard base is clearly salty, but the salinity is expertly teased right to the brink, and intensifies the sweet caramel before washing it away in cold, refreshing cream. The salted caramel cupcake is a more complex version of this, featuring ideally dense little morsels of cake—whose presence in ice cream is difficult to manage without sog or collapse, but here results in a self-contained ice cream which eats seamlessly.
Much has also been made of their Arbequina olive oil ice cream, thanks to a certain national periodical whose name starts with O. The glossy base of dairy is a canvas across which the oil spreads and can be truly tasted for itself—slightly spicy yet understated, a kindred lipid bound perfectly within the cream. Pair it with the honey balsamic strawberry with cracked pepper, a combination that sounds like the ingredients of a vinaigrette, but with the rich sweetness of the balsamic, is tipped squarely into confectionery.
That's a happy realization about the menu: The ambitious flavors can be paired to greater effect, creating custom combos. The black currant sorbet is tart and refreshing with the honey lemon with ricotta walnut cookie ice cream, balancing lightness and density. A sophisticated matcha tea ice cream with subtle orange is a natural match for their chocolate with gooey brownies, and their notorious pear with blue cheese, with a topping of hot caramel, is simply brilliant with the freshly toasted spice of their cinnamon snickerdoodle.
Along with their scoops and cones, Salt & Straw offers a focused assortment of unique floats, shakes, and sundaes. A sweet and sour shake of Pok Pok pomegranate drinking vinegar is smooth and sippable; a sundae of warm brownie with banana ice cream, hot fudge, whipped cream, and crushed hazelnuts is the menu's flagship concoction. While I personally would retool the Vacherine Glace (vanilla ice cream, black currant sorbet, espresso, hazelnut meringue) to be less soupy and more easily eaten, it is, as with all other menu items, an impeccable balance of flavors.
Nearly every ingredient is exhaustively sourced from unique, locally produced goods—from the cream, to the Bee Local Portland honey, to the Salem pears—further enhancing the shop's contribution to the welfare of the community. More good news is afoot in the form of a second location, opening on NW 23rd in the coming weeks. Kim Malek even plans to offer health care for her employees, a rarity in the food service industry.
You will know Salt & Straw by the line out the door, but should you happen by during an off hour, the clouds of vanilla and toasted batter steaming off the hot waffle-cone presses are advertisement enough for the pure, handcrafted pleasures within.
Cones from $3.75; floats, shakes, and sundaes $4.95-6.75. Baked goods, pies, and coffee available. Open 11 am-11 pm daily.

I was just in the context of "save vs. unsafe-used-in-safe-way". But I think my point still stands, which is that the "considering carefully" (of whether or not code should be considered for inclusion in a project) is meant to be done by the code consumer, not the code author (who presumably has also considered carefully about how the API is meant to be used, functions that are meant to be safe vs those that have not, and many other issues).

Recently, I got a chance to spend some time with a few of the newest offerings from OptiTek, including their recently announced Canon EF to Sony FZ adapter.
This adapter features electronic aperture control via a simple push button interface. It can also be controlled wirelessly with the optional Optitron, which allows for wireless focusing in addition to iris control. If you're using the F5 or F55, power can be supplied via the auxiliary Hirose 4 port from the camera, or you can supply power via PTap. For those wanting to use Nikon lenses on their F3, F5 or F55, there is a non-powered locking adaptor available.
Watch my video above to learn more.

Sept. 25, 2012
Tuesday morning, the Western Collegiate Hockey Association released that the University of Minnesota has been voted by the coaches as the preseason favorite to win the 2012-13 league crown. Freshman Hannah Brandt was also tagged as the unanimous Preseason Rookie of the Year.
The Golden Gophers, who have been voted the unanimous preseason No. 1 team in the nation by both USCHO.com and USA Today/USA Hockey Magazine, return 15 letterwinners from last year's squad which won the 2011-12 NCAA National Championship. Included in those 15 returners is the Gophers' leading scorer from the past two seasons, Amanda Kessel, and the Frozen Four MVP and three-time Patty Kazmaier Award nominee, Noora Raty. Minnesota also adds depth to their roster as they bring in six talented freshmen and one sophomore transfer.
Among those freshmen is standout forward Hannah Brandt, who was tagged the unanimous WCHA Preseason Rookie of the Year. Brandt, who was arguably the top recruit in the nation, was a member of the United State U-18 Team that won a gold medal at the 2011 World Championships and also played on the U.S. National Team that went 6-0 at the 2011 Twelve Nations Invitational.
The Maroon & Gold grabbed six of the eight first-place votes to reach a league-high 48 points, while Wisconsin and North Dakota each received one first-place vote and tied for second in the preseason poll with 40 points.
Minnesota Duluth, with 32 points, was selected to finish fourth, followed by Ohio State in fifth place, Bemidji State in sixth, Minnesota State in seventh and St. Cloud State in eighth.
Wisconsin senior forward Brianna Decker, the 2012 Patty Kazmaier Memorial Award winner and reigning WCHA Player of the Year, was the coaches' preseason choice for WCHA Player of the Year. She had four votes, while Kessel and North Dakota forward Jocelyne Lamoureux, last season's league scoring champion, each received two.

Hey, hooray, it's Friday!
It's the peak of autumn where I live and these are
the things I associate with this beautiful season:
Trees dressed in golden amber hues
Gourds in unique shapes and sizes
Sweet and crisp apples
And pumpkins waiting to be decorated.
Nifty push-ins like this makes the task easy.
But some hand-carving adds a level of difficulty.
And there are the ones that take your breath away!
They are all carved by hand, assembled together and
illuminated from inside:
|A hive with a swarm of bees
|Gravestones and skeletons
|Very tall cornstalks
|Seductive sunflowers
|An extinct creature
|And a T-Rex for good measure
|A deadly dragon
|Gigantic monsters
|And a message of thanks
These were taken last year at The Great Jack O' Lantern Blaze in New York's Hudson Valley. If you want to experience it yourself this year {and I recommend that you do}, you'll find the details here and here. They are, for sure, blah to TADA!
Wishing you an awesome weekend!

GF-007 Understanding and Managing Needs with FIRO-B
Understanding our needs gives us insight to interpersonal behaviors, conflict, comfort and anxiety zones and more. All of these areas impact your ability and your team's ability to be effective. Designed to teach you where in each of these areas you lie, compare with others and teach the skills to effectively manage the differences.
GF-008 Giving and Getting Constructive Feedback
Feedback is a very effective force in guiding behavior for people and helps achieve goals. It can also be very destructive. Learn about emotional buy-in to feedback, how to plan for delivering it and how to cope with the results so they are positive.
GF-009 Myers Briggs Type Indicator - (MTBI) Step I and Step II
Taking the MBTI inventory and receiving feedback will help you identify unique gifts. The information enhances understanding of yourself, your motivations, natural strengths and potential areas for growth. It will also help you appreciate people who differ from you. Understanding your MBTI type is self-affirming and encourages cooperation with others.
GF-010 Running Effective Meetings
One of the most effective methods of working together and sharing information, making change, and getting things done is the "meeting." One of the biggest time wasters in the world is the "meeting." There are few things more frustrating than ineffective meetings; they reduce morale, undermine loyalty, are expensive, and cause general havoc. Well-run meetings can lift a team, set a clear strategy, lead organizations to success, and make the team members feel like winners.
GF-011 Strategic Plan Development
With Penn State University, we built a workable approach to Strategic Planning. Using research tools, planning sessions, and feedback, you will be involved in a process of understanding your organization, your market, your customers, and your short- & long-term prospects. This quite plainly gives you the ability to determine where to put your energy, prioritize your activities, and build clear direction for the future.
GF-012 Conscious Leadership 360 Degree Assessments
Getting constructive, unbiased feedback is a gift. A gift that many of us do not receive. The 360 survey process solicits feedback from the wide spectrum of people you work with and is aligned with the Actualized Leader Profile. The program is designed for experienced people who have worked through the rigors of professional life.
GF-013 Time Management
Effective Time Management is about creating and managing priorities. In the knowledge worker age, managing those priorities on a team. The imperative is to understand our approach and the approach of others and then agree to principles. The participant develops the skills necessary to work with teams consisting of different approaches to manage time and set priorities.
GF-015 The Power of a Positive No
The most powerful word in the English language, and possibly on earth is 'No.'
Understanding the dynamics involved, and how to create a more positive outcome for everyone involved in today's day and age, is as important as being able to use e-mail. Our ability to find a greater 'Yes' amongst humanity is essential for us to grow, compete, and thrive. This course teaches the art of strategic communication, conflict resolution and how to effectively work in a high stress, fast paced environment where significant change, negotiation and powerful dynamics are present.

Collector's Eye: Michael Steinhardt
'I'd Like to Die Broke'
Former hedge-fund manager Michael Steinhardt says that his love of Jewish culture led him to amass his large collection of Jewish ceremonial art over more than 30 years. On April 29 in New York, Sotheby's will seek to auction off the collection—which Mr. Steinhardt created with his wife, Judy—for more than $11 million.
The sale's star work is the Frankfurt Mishneh Torah, a 15th-century illuminated Hebrew manuscript priced to sell for at least $4.5 million; a companion volume is in the Vatican. A mid-18th-century scroll of...

Expertise and Research Interests
Mechanism of Bone Growth and Repair: Despite decades of study, the mechanism by which a thin layer of cartilage, the epiphyseal growth plate, regulates long bone growth remains poorly understood. Our earlier observation that the oxygen tension is a potent regulator of chondrocyte activity and mediated by the oxygen sensitive transcription factor, HIF-1, provided a new understanding of the regulatory process. The recent finding that HIF-2 is required for chondrocyte maturation and that it serves to regulate a previously unrecognized step in the maturation pathway, autophagy, holds promise of providing new insights into phase co-ordination that is especially relevant to the growth process. Our ongoing studies are directed at examining the impact of these proteins on the maturation, the extent of hypertrophy and the induction of chondrocyte mineralization and apoptosis, as well as promoting the proliferation of new cells into the maturation cascade.
Tissue Engineering of the Intervertebral Disc: Back pain, a significant source of morbidity in our society, is directly related to the pathology of the degenerate intervertebral disc. At present, the treatment of degenerative disc disease consists of therapies that are aimed at symptomatic relief. However, recent advances in the understanding of tissue repair and stem cell biology indicates that it may be possible to rebuild diseased or degenerate tissues using endogenous stem cells. The goal of our investigation is to characterize disc progenitor cells (DPC) from both normal and diseased discs. Then, to define the environmental conditions that enhance DPC differentiation into cells that exhibit the phenotypic characteristics of the inner tissue, the nucleus pulposus. Experiments are in progress to repopulate the disc in vivo by promoting the recruitment and differentiation of these endogenous stem cells.
Creating Bioactive Surfaces for Repair of Fractured and Infected Bone: The aim of this work is to develop a new generation of smart implants that promote osteogenesis and prevent bacterial infection. This study relies heavily on the development of new chemical techniques to generate linkages between metals and bioactive molecules and uses imaging techniques such as micro-tomography light, electron and X-ray imaging to evaluate efficacy of healing.

my labrador outgrew the last harness i got him even though it was supposed to be XL got this one and really pleased as it fits him perfect and easy to adjust and the price is really good The only thing i would prefer is that on his old harness you can clip the harness to the seat belt rather than feeding the seatbelt through a loop as he likes to sit up it pulls him down quite a lot so I have cut the clip off the old one to use with this so now perfect

text: Thought I'd start a new thread concerning the OEM suspension on my A6 TDI S Line. When I picked it up I found mud guards all round, which I found strange as I had never notice such an accessory on the A6 before. Would this have been a factory extra or aftermarket. Driving round all last week I noticed a rubbing when going over speed bumps and up not particulary steep slopes. This was with a very light load in b/seats, so when I have a heavier load in boot it's Going to be worst. I put this down to the mud flaps rubbing and when stopping over a bump I got out and noticed they were very close to the ground. Now they're removed and no rubbing noise. My concern is whether this is normal or not? And when I am carrying peps in the back and a load in boot how low would this be. Or does it have air suspension/ other that alters to weight? When seeing an Audi A6 SE yesterday I tried comparing it's ride height to mine. The SE appears to sit a lot higher. Would this be because m the S Line. I couldnt help but notice the ride is also damn hard! Assume due to S line suspension? I will try and get a pic this evening if helps. TIA

What is wrong with the Los Angeles Clippers' defense? With a golden opportunity to steal a Game 5 road win at Oklahoma City on Tuesday, L.A. gave up 17 points over the last 3:53 while blowing a 13-point lead. The Clippers led by seven with 49.2 seconds left, but gave up eight points down the stretch. Mistakes on both ends contributed, but nevertheless the Clippers could have won with just one more stop.
The Clippers have given up 110.7 points per 100 possessions during the second round, 8.6 points worse than their regular-season mark, per NBA.com/Stats. But L.A. isn't the only team being torched in the second round: Brooklyn (116.7), Portland (113.0) and Oklahoma City (109.3) have all put up second-round defensive efficiencies worse than the regular-season figure for Utah (109.1), the worst defensive team in the league.
There are a lot of shopworn clichés about playoff basketball, some of which are provable, and others that are not. Do players try harder at playoff time? Probably, but it's hard to demonstrate that statistically. Are the games slower and more half-court focused than the regular season? Yes, but the story is more nuanced than that.
Does defense and rebounding win championships? You hear that one a lot, but it's always struck me as an oversimplification. If anything, balance wins championships, which is why 33 of the 37 champions since the NBA-ABA merger have finished in the top 12 on both ends of the floor during the regular season. That description applied to seven of this season's 16 playoff teams, four of whom are still playing.

In person or online, the U.S. gambling market is evolving rapidly, with new technologies and more participants coming to the gaming table. In response to increasing demand for ease and convenience in this complex and growing industry, First Data, the global leader in payment technology and services solutions, has launched PayLucky Solutions for legalized online and offline gambling and gaming.
The forums for this activity are wide and ever expanding, including land-based casinos, Native-American gaming, racetrack betting (pari-mutuel), lotteries and poker, among others.
The global market for this industry, which First Data is preparing to enter, represents a large and fast-moving flow of money. According to H2 Gambling Capital, global online gambling revenue reached $36.7 billion in 2013. By 2017, the U.S. is expected to represent more than 15 percent of revenue in this market with $2.6 billion of the U.S. player revenues generated by onshore regulated activity.
While the growth has been impressive, the industry has been continually challenged with the need to manage an array of providers offering multiple payment options for operators and their players to participate. In response, PayLucky Solutions offer an innovative package of comprehensive payment services, all in one place and all from one source: First Data.
"First Data exists to help our clients grow their businesses and what the gaming industry needs to grow, and serve their customers better, is a dynamic one-stop-shop for the widest variety of payment options that include debit, credit, check, mobile, loyalty and prepaid processing" said Jonathon O'Connor, general manager, Online Gambling and Alternative Markets. "PayLucky takes the complexity out of managing multiple providers and creates a streamlined experience for the U.S. gambling market with built-in risk management protections for all parties."
Here's how First Data leverages its more than 40 years in the payments industry to deliver on what gambling and gaming operators want for their business and customers:
"First Data offers a consultative approach focused on helping our clients achieve success in their various market segments with our comprehensive payments solutions coupled with a broad knowledge base and experience with regulations governing this industry," O'Connor added.

Rock, blues and country in Velvet Lounge
Rockland — On Friday, March 15, Rock City Cafe's Velvet Lounge series will present Ellis-Myers and Moral Fiber. Rockland native G.G. Ellis, singer and drummer, played for many years in Austin, Los Angeles, and the San Francisco Bay Area. He reconnected with his good friend Bob Myers, lead singer and guitar player for many Rockland-based groups including The Tremelos, Rockland's very first rock 'n' roll band. Ellis-Myers also will be joined by Kevin Martin on bass and guitar from All Stove Up; and the talented Cole Barbour from Tastes Like Chicken and Sideways Highways on guitar and cello. They will play a diverse blend of roots rock, country blues and originals.
On Saturday, March 16, the Velvet Lounge will host the Dyer Neck Gang. Regulars at the Opera House at Boothbay Harbor, the Dyer Neck Gang only officially became a band in 2012, fusing decades of combined talents. Of the modern country-rock genre, audiences of The Gang enjoy original pieces interspersed with familiar tribute covers as the band builds its repertoire. Members include Joe Dalton on rhythm guitar, Garry Blackman, Jr. on drums, Skip Morgan on bass and Rod Morton on lead guitar; all contribute vocals.
The music will play from 5 to 7 p.m. at Rock City Cafe, 316 Main St. As usual there is no cover charge; however, tipping the musicians is highly encouraged. For more information on this and other events happening at the coffeebar/cafe, call 594-4123.

I wanted to replace my old VN900 with a new one. Cash adjustment pretty simple you would think. My enquiry was "How much will the new bike cost OTR" I had a call back from the place next day from a guy who asked if I was interested in a pre reg model at a fantastic price. This rang alarm bells right away, anyone that uses the term "fantastic price" must think me an idiot I was intending to pay list price for a new one but what the heck.
I said OK. He asked me if I had a PX, I said that maybe but the sale was not reliant upon it as I had cash. "So, how much I said" He said he would need to work it out !!! Why? Just tell me the price. Anyway I never heard from them again.
I am just a bloke wanting to buy a new bike from my local dealer. What a complete waste of time.

About In Vogue Salon & Spa
Tonia Reed's first salon was modest. With only two stations and one other stylist, the beauty specialist found that her burgeoning skills and thriving client base were becoming too much for the space to handle. In 2004, she became enamored of a large Victorian-style home, and the site of In Vogue Salon & Spa was born. Decked in stately chandeliers and dark-wood bureaus, the salon surrounds its experienced hair, skin, and massage professionals with the same vintage inspiration that originally took hold of its owner. Clients take in a cup of flavored coffee or tea before basking in a massage or facial in a private treatment room or gazing into gilded mirrors as stylists sculpt locks and enrich them with vibrant colors. To polish the rest of clients' statures, technicians wax away unwanted hair and pull from a shelf of OPI products to groom and shape fingernails before they start biting themselves.

Auditor-treasurer candidates are ready for challenge
The new Becker County auditor-treasurer will be faced with a formidable task once he takes office in January -- the immediate merging of two offices into one.
But the two candidates vying for that office -- Ryan Tangen and Larry J. Moe -- both feel they are up to the challenge.
Tangen, 32, has served as both treasurer and auditor for Becker County since June of this year, when then-county auditor Keith Brekken retired and Tangen was appointed to fill the post for the remainder of Brekken's term.
A McIntosh, Minn., native, he holds degrees in both business administration and accounting from Jamestown College in Jamestown, N.D., and is also a licensed CPA. He was initially appointed as county treasurer in April 2002, replacing Rita Thompson, and then elected to a full four-year term seven months later.
"I think (the transition) will not be as difficult as it has been to run two separate offices," Tangen said, referring to the fact that the auditor's and treasurer's offices won't officially become one until after the election, when the new auditor-treasurer takes office. In the interim, he has had to supervise two separate staffs.
Though he has spent the past five years as the county's treasurer, Tangen also has extensive experience as an auditor, having served with the Minnesota State Auditor's Office for four and a half years prior to accepting the position with Becker County.
In fact, one of his co-workers during that period was the man who is currently challenging him in the upcoming elections.
Moe, 41, has been employed with the State Auditor's Office for 18 years, having taken the job just a few months after graduating from the University of North Dakota in Grand Forks with a bachelor's of business administration degree, majoring in accounting. He first learned of the state position from his brother, who noticed the ad in a campus publication (he was attending Minnesota State University Moorhead at the time). Positions in both Detroit Lakes and Moorhead were available.
After applying, Moe was sent to Detroit Lakes for an interview, and was hired to work there.
So he moved to Detroit Lakes in February 1988, and began working as a local government auditor for the state office. One of the counties that he was assigned to audit was Becker.
But then, in 2003, the Detroit Lakes branch office closed, and Moe nearly ended up being transferred to the Twin Cities.
"We had just moved to our new (Detroit Lakes) home in October 2002, and then we had to put it on the market," Moe said. "We only had four people who came to look at it all summer -- which now seems like it might have been a blessing, because the guy who was supposed to transfer from Mankato to (the auditor's office in) Moorhead backed out."
Still, the commute between Detroit Lakes and Moorhead is something Moe won't miss if elected.
"You do lose a couple of hours of your time at home each day (in commuting)," he said -- but added that the decreased travel time was not the major factor motivating him to seek office in Becker County.
"This is a new position that no one has ever been elected to, so I wanted to give the voters of Becker County a choice on election day," he said. "I believe that if you want something in life you must earn it, which is why I set out to campaign for this position."
For his part, Tangen said, he is looking forward to the challenges of the newly combined position. He feels he has done a good job of managing the county's $20 million in investments, and that under his supervision this year's countywide audit "was the smoothest audit ever," requiring 50 percent fewer hours and saving the county about $13,000 in auditing fees.
Moe, however, feels even more streamlining can be done, by setting up the county's Integrated Financial System (IFS) to make more data readily available to state auditors and speed up the audit process, thus saving the county time and money.
He would also like to see more focus on internal auditing of the county's various departments, to make sure sufficient internal controls are present to prevent fraud and abuse. "With the combining of the auditor and treasurer departments, I intend to ensure that there is proper segregation between the custody (of money) and record keeping functions," he added.
Tangen also pointed to segregation of these functions as a priority, but added that he feels the combination of the two offices will actually assist in that endeavor.
"By combining offices you can strengthen internal controls through having more (combined) staff to segregate those duties," he said.
At the same time, there are some functions of the two offices that already overlap, and combining them into one department will enable the county to eliminate some duplication of services "without jeopardizing the checks and balances," he added. "It just makes more sense at this point to consolidate."
Once that initial goal of consolidating the two offices into one has been accomplished -- a process Tangen said he hopes can be completed in about six months -- the next big project will be the conversion of the county to the state's new property tax system. This task must be completed by 2008.
"Hopefully this (new tax system) will save the county quite a bit of money in the future," he said.
Another priority will be making the county's property tax records more accessible to the public, via the county's Internet Web site. And Tangen also noted that there was much work to do with upgrading the county's election systems and training in preparation for the 2008 presidential elections.
"We also have a building construction project going on right now, and we're putting together a plan to pay for it through a combination of reserves and bonding," he said. At the same time, Tangen said, "having an adequate amount of reserves on hand at all times is essential."
Tangen has been a resident of Detroit Lakes since 1997. He and his wife, Rory (who grew up in Rollag) have two children: Caleb, 5, and Sarah, 3 1/2. He currently serves as
For his part, Moe is hoping to help the county work toward achieving a "Certificate of Achievement for Excellence in Financial Reporting" from the Government Finance Officers Association of the United States and Canada.
"This honor goes to government units whose comprehensive annual financial reports achieve the highest standards in government accounting and financial reporting," he said, adding "Why not Becker County?"
In addition, Moe said, he believes that the county commissioners "should always have the best data possible to aid them in their management decisions. They should always have budget to actual figures available."
Moe is a native of Thief River Falls. He and his wife, Holly, have two children: Alexander, 5, and Kiara, 20 months.

I'm James, a first time documentary filmmaker. Come and join me for a crazy journey to Brazil and around Australia as I follow a mad-keen armwrestler named Jesse.
I feel I need to introduce myself. Good start don't you think?
Here we go!! I'm 24 years old and grew up in the small town of Merrigum, Victoria. I have amazing and wild childhood memories that may or may not be slightly distorted.
My favourite memory is the legendary ambushing of my mum and Nathan's mum with all the neighbourhood kids using water bombs.
This ambushing memory still brings a huge grin to my face and Nathan's too. A look from my mum that says that she is trying not to laugh and stay mad at me.
We did nice things too like the time we made fireworks for Nathan's mum's 40th party.
I was born with a genetic condition called Neurofibromatosis which has resulted in me having a short attention span (I've gotten up like 20 times while writing this blog). It effected my schooling and I become lost in the system.
This had a knock on affect on to my reading and writing levels. I became frustrated and lost interest in classes.
Until I found art and media which kept me going through school.
I didn't pursue my love for art and media into university because teachers and kids at school teased me and lowered my self-esteem. But I kept it as a hobby. I did all kinds of filmmaking such as weddings, music videos for my friends band (Rare Child) and doing my church youth group news. I had good ideas but I failed to master the skills to get the results that I was happy with. Then I went along to a 110% workshop where I made Never Give Up, got the skills I wanted and fell in love with documentary. Thank Benj Binks!!
Now I am starting a documentary about my mate Jesse and his journey to become the best armwrestler that he can be. This will include a trip to Brazil for the World Championships and competitions all around the country including the Australian Championships. It's going to be a really sweet and crazy journey.
I first met Jesse years ago on a camp. I always found his dedication to the sport of armwrestling amazing (and maybe a bit crazy too).
When I first had the idea of this documentary after doing 110%, Benj said, "Just jump dude." So I did!! I still feel like I am in free fall with the parachute yet to deploy.
Stay tuned for more of my sure-to-be-crazy journey.

James, I'll be following you and the story your following. As kids we used to have arm wrestling completions in the school yard. The hype and excitement was primal. Your going to have such a great experience. Well done mate.
James, a really good read. Loved it! Now I know how to find you here I'll keep logging on. BU.
James, I really enjoyed your first instalment. I'll be back to read more of your adventure as it unfolds via the keyboard.
Wow, great story. Have a wonderful time travelling and creating your documentary. Wishing you lots of success. Good on you.
I'm glad you found your calling so early in life, it's an exciting road ahead. And I know exactly what you mean about getting up 20 times whilst writing a blog! Thanks for sharing the journey.
This is awesome James. It has been wonderful to meet you through 110% and work with you on Never Give Up. It is wonderful to read your blog post here and get to know even more. I am so very excited that you are going to Brazil and the documentary you are doing. Have an amazing time ! I can't wait to see what you do and here all about it .
Great work Wilson! You can take on that mantra as well: NEVER GIVE UP!... just don't go TOO crazy! ;)

Would be cool if you could make a scad version without all of those facets and put it up because I never could figure out scad very well.
If by facets you mean the polygonated sides instead of a smooth rounded sides, that is an artifact of the intermediate format for printing (STL) which is just a list of triangles.
You can increase the '$fn' variable on line 7 which will tell OpenSCAD use more facets. Rendering will be slightly slower, your files will be bigger, and only on high-resolution printers will you notice a difference.
Good to know but I will tell you I see them even on low rez printings and they are extremely bad the higher you get.
Yeah, I hate the STL format and wish we could print using another format or even better print using Nurbs directly.

Sanchez's back issues concern Mills
Sanchez's back issues concern Mills
Sanchez has been limited since straining his upper back swinging the bat last week. He took ground balls Saturday and was hoping to be able to swing a bat Sunday, but Mills didn't expect him to play in a game until Wednesday.
"We want to make sure we can get his back straightened out and get going," Mills said. "Right now, I don't have him playing until Wednesday I know he'd like to play before that, but I want to make sure he's 100 percent so we don't have any regress with that.
"It might not be a concern to him right now, but it's a little bit of a concern to me because he had it when he started Spring Training, although it's starting to act up, although it is in a different spot and a different kind of soreness."
Sanchez got the lion's share of playing time at shortstop when Tommy Manzella got injured in the middle of last season. He responded by hitting .280 with 25 RBIs in 250 at-bats.
"He's done a real good job defensively for us," Mills said. "He was solid last year, so that's not a big surprise. He's able to give you a good at-bat all the time, which is really crucial."

Funnymen Will Ferrell and Adam McKay are often looking for the next big thing, a new way to entertain audiences with their unique brand of comedy. Sometimes they throw their collective weight behind talented comedians like Kristen Wiig. Other times they test the waters for cult television properties like Manimal to see if they can be adapted into winning contemporary films. And now it sounds like they are bringing their Gary Sanchez production brand to animation, partnering with Bron Studios for an in-development project.
Will Ferrell, Adam McKay and Chris Henchy will serve as executive producers and creative collaborators on Henchmen, an animated feature set up at Bron Studios that's due out in 2016. Adam Wood is directing Henchmen, which currently is undergoing a rewrite by Saturday Night Live scribe Dennis McNicholas.
THR reports that the story of Henchmen "follows a new recruit at the 'Union of Evil' who is assigned to a motley crew of blue-collar workers led by fallen henchmen Hank." The movie will follow Hank's journey from villain to hero, and sounds like it is going to try to put a fresh spin on the idea of a super-baddie.
You know, kind of like Will Ferrell's intelligent animated comedy Megamind.
Henchmen actually has been in development for a while, to the extent that it has a teaser trailer to give you an idea of its look and tone. It has a DreamWorks Animation technique to it. Noisy, busy, with blockier-than-normal animation styles. You could imagine Will Ferrell voicing the janitor character bumbling through the below clip:
Still, that's a lengthy tease, and there's plenty of material there for Will Ferrell and Adam McKay to work with. Now that their Gary Sanchez label is branching off into animation, one wonders if this is the first step toward exploring more animated avenues for their popular characters. You'd tune in to a weekly Anchorman cartoon on Adult Swim, wouldn't you? Or maybe that Step Brothers sequel plays out in animated form? Henchmen might be the beginning of some beautiful, creative collaborations.

Can Tho, city and province-level municipality, southern Vietnam. Situated on the left bank of the Hau Giang River, 90 miles (145 km) southwest of Ho Chi Minh City (formerly Saigon), it is an industrial centre and the largest city of the flat delta region of the Mekong River, which includes the Ca Mau Peninsula and the principal rice-growing areas of the country. A large inland port, Can Tho is protected by dikes from the annual flooding of the Mekong and has a canal link to Vi Thanh in the southwestern part of the province. It has a teacher-training and agricultural college founded in 1976. In the 1960s an industrial park for agriculturally related industries was established 6 miles (10 km) north of the city. Older industries include coconut oil extraction and rice milling; new industries include the manufacture of fertilizer, ice, implements, plastic goods, bricks, and fish sauce. Can Tho is served by two airports; the major one, Binh Thuy, is northwest of the city. Can Tho has a hospital and is the seat of Can Tho University (1966). A former Khmer (Cambodian) district, it was occupied in the 18th century by the Vietnamese to become part of southern Vietnam. It is the centre of a significant concentration of Hoa Hao, a militant Buddhist sect. Pop. (1999) 245,364; (2009) 731,545.

Editorial: No endorsement in city's Ward 4
Willmar Ward 4 voters face the choice of incumbent Jim Dokken or challenger Susana Hunnicutt. This Willmar City Council race will be a decision about an obstructionist council member or a newcomer candidate.
We cannot see a clear decision in this race.
Dokken has owned his own business and worked as a school bus driver. He has served 10 years on the City Council. Retired from the Air Force, he is highly involved in veteran affairs. We commend him for his service -- past and present. We also like his idea of broadcasting the City Council's committee meetings.
However, Dokken's weakness lies in his inability to lead or inspire. He often tends to be part of the obstruction, instead of seeking and developing workable solutions. More importantly, he often lacks a positive perspective for the future of Willmar and doesn't understand the importance of investing in the city's future.
He was one of four council members to walk out of a City Council meeting on Westwind earlier this year. He tends to follow others' cues, rather than make his own decision. Frankly, his negativity is counter-productive and his contribution is often limited.
Hunnicutt is a concerned citizen who cares about Willmar citizens. She has served since 1999 on the Willmar Housing and Redevelopment Authority board of directors. She is sincere. Her key issues include improving infrastructure, solving the city's storm water challenge and improving employment and education.
However, as a first-time candidate, she does not have the depth of understanding needed on the City Council. If Ward 4 voters really believe they need a change, then Hunnicutt is their choice.
In our opinion, Dokken has not earned re-election and Hunnicutt is not ready for office. The West Central Tribune does not endorse either candidate for this office.

Seattle Sounders forward Clint Dempsey and US teammate midfielder Fabian Johnson have been forced to withdraw from the national team's upcoming matches against Scotland and Austria due to injury, according to a statement released by U.S. Soccer on Wednesday.
They will not be replaced on the roster. Manager Jurgen Klinsmann now enters both matches with a 21-man roster.
Dempsey picked up a right calf strain during training on Wednesday morning in Glasgow, where the team is training ahead of Friday's match-up against Scotland (3 pm ET, ESPN2 and UniMas). Meanwhile, Johnson wasn't able to shake off a right ankle injury and will head back to his club side Hoffenheim for further evaluation.
The forced absence will mean Dempsey misses out on another two USMNT games after skipping out on two World Cup qualifiers in October. Johnson's last appearance, like Dempsey, came back on Sept. 10 against Mexico, when the US clinched a berth to the 2014 World Cup.
Here's the current US roster without Dempsey and Johnson:
GOALKEEPERS (3): Bill Hamid (D.C. United), Tim Howard (Everton), Sean Johnson (Chicago Fire)
DEFENDERS (7): DaMarcus Beasley (Puebla), John Brooks (Hertha Berlin), Geoff Cameron (Stoke City), Brad Evans (Seattle Sounders FC), Omar Gonzalez (LA Galaxy), Eric Lichaj (Nottingham Forest), Michael Orozco (Puebla)
MIDFIELDERS (6): Alejandro Bedoya (FC Nantes), Michael Bradley (Roma), Mix Diskerud (Rosenborg), Jermaine Jones (Schalke), Sacha Kljestan (Anderlecht), Brek Shea (Stoke City)
FORWARDS (5): Jozy Altidore (Sunderland), Terrence Boyd (Rapid Vienna), Aron Johannsson (AZ Alkmaar), Eddie Johnson (Seattle Sounders FC), Chris Wondolowski (San Jose Earthquakes)

Canadian Natural Resources Ltd. has halted crude production at its northern Alberta Horizon oil sands mine after a fire broke out in a key plant facility Thursday afternoon.
The fire will have a significant impact on a major source of Alberta crude, by stopping production at a plant that produced just over 90,000 barrels per day in 2010, or roughly six per cent of Canada's oil sands output. CNRL gave no indication of how long the outage might last.
Four people were injured in the fire, which started at 3:30 p.m. MST in the Horizon upgrader. One worker suffered third-degree burns, another first-degree burns and a third a neck injury. All three were taken to hospital and are in stable condition. The fourth worker was treated on site and released.
In a brief news release, CNRL said that "an orderly shutdown commenced at our facility immediately following the incident. Workers in the immediate area have been evacuated."
Late Thursday, the company said the fire's fuel source had been isolated and the fire contained to one part of its plant.
Local media reported that the fire was preceded by a large explosion. Oil sands operators use a mutual aid agreement to call in more help if needed, and a spokeswoman with Syncrude Canada Ltd. confirmed that an aerial fire engine and some personnel responded to a request for assistance. Fort McMurray's fire department said it had not been called, however.
At Fort McKay, a community of just over 600 that's about 15 kilometres from the CNRL site, spectators watched a huge tongue of flame throw a thick plume of black smoke into the sky Thursday afternoon. Environmental crews scrambled to check a local air quality monitoring station, but found no cause for alarm, said Jeff Winsor, the chief operating officer for the Fort McKay First Nation.
"There was a fairly large smoke plume at one period of time, but it hasn't impacted the community itself," he said. "There's no state of emergency or plans for an evacuation right now, but of course we're watching it hour by hour."
First Nation staff have been in contact with CNRL, and have been told that the company is "close to getting it under control," Mr. Winsor said Thursday evening.
Horizon is located 70 kilometres north of Fort McMurray.
An upgrader transforms oil sands crude, which is so thick it barely flows at room temperatures, into a lighter oil that can flow through pipelines and be further refined into products like gasoline and jet fuel.
Fires are relatively rare, although not uncommon at oil sands plants, where huge pieces of machinery operate at higher temperatures. In one period ending early last year, Suncor Energy Inc. experienced three fires in five months. Such fires can have a substantial impact on corporate performance: A Suncor fire in 2005 cut its output in half for eight months.
This is not the first major worker incident at Horizon, which has seen three fatalities in the past four years. CNRL and a Chinese contractor were hit with 53 occupati 8 onal health and safety charges after one of those incidents, in 2007, killed two Chinese workers.
Oil sands operations are equipped with their own fire crews that have a first response ability similar to a town fire hall.
"They have safety systems and fire suppression systems in place all over the plant, as well as pumpers and manpower to be able to fight a fire," said Brian Makey, fire chief for the regional municipality of Wood Buffalo. "They're really set up no different than you would find in a municipality."

How to Hide a Soffit In Akurum Upper Cabinet
Materials: Jig Saw, 1 3/8″ Forstner Bit, Drill, Patience
Description: My wife and I are in the middle of a DIY kitchen renovation. We ripped our soffits out and discovered one little issue, we had a pipe running through one of the soffits. Our solution? Build the soffit into the 39″ cabinet.
Here is how we did it:
1) Measure space needed for soffit.
2) Drill new dowel holes at that distance
3) Connect top piece as you would normally
4) See where pipe hits on side peices
5) Cut side pieces with jig saw
6) Use forstner bit to drill new holes in doors if needed
7) Connect, hang, and you're good to go.
For a more detailed guide head on over to our blog.

Is it better to dry verge caps on my bargeboards than just patching up the old mortar.
We ran into similar issues when we ripped them out. Our problem is a little different. We had a chance to relocate the plumbing. The bigger issue is a support beam that is there. Can't mess with that. Don't know how we could ever let that run inside a cabinet? It's just too big.
