Hi Monks,
I am currently getting a list of files from a directory hiearchy with this script which works great (user name and full name get appended at end of file path):
The thing is that most of the files are file sequences like this:
So I would love to be able to filter the results to only get one entry per sequence like this:
Please note that the sequences dont have padded numbers but I am already solving that with the map and sort above so now I just need to only print the unique sequences.
Actually since I am getting the full path and also attaching the user the output should ultimately look like this:

Good to know there are some very experienced teachers here, that are willing to take the time to help us Newbe's (yes ,i said newbe) . Most people don't want to take the time,especially when they themselves are not experiencing any problems. That's pretty normal for all of us .

Up down tail dance / sloppy swash
Hi guys, I had the same issues with the tail at first. When I looked at the main shaft closely I noticed a lot of vertical play in it. That caused the swash to hop up and down on throttle up, and would make the heli jump around. It didn't seem right to me for there to be that much vertical play in the main shaft, it had to have side effects. I dropped the lower cradle off so I could access the main gear, pulled it off, and made a thin bushing/shim out of clear plastic from a clam shell type cover from a fishing sinkers container, placed that above the main gear and reattached the gear. Now all the vertical play was gone and my swash didn't raise or lower / hop on throttle up. I think that's why the rubber band works over the swash as it is limiting the amount of hop. I noticed also that after heating and bending the dog bone links that go through the guide hoops, that the hop decreased also. The next thing I might try is a slightly bigger diameter feathering shaft as there seems to be an abundance of play there as well. Edit: One thing I forgot to mention was how smooth everything felt and sounded when I was flying this afternoon. After balancing the main blades, the fly bar, and adjusting the mesh between pinion and main gear, all the little vibrations were gone, and the heli was so much quieter. Didn't look feel or act like the same heli anymore, tons better.

The battery is a Zippy 2200mAH 20c. It seems fine now. Don't know what changed. It's flying really good. Much easier to fly than my 9116. This F45/645 is a blast!
Thanks for your help Bob
The 808 #16 is the best one for 720p filming, there is also an active group for aerial videos with this camera on https://www.rcgroups.com/forums/show....php?t=1777846
The camera is available with or the standard lens (A lens) or a wide angle (B lens) or a super wide angle (D lens), the aerial group does have excellent software available to adjust a lot of settings on the camera even to update the firmware.
The video below is best seen at 720p, I have a 808 #16 with the B lens, the video is short because I forgot to charge the camera
Morning lads. Wasnt sucessful as of yet obtaining the foam materials, the 'easy supply route' was a washout... Soooo I get to do the 'ride 2 buses, trudge across the frozen tundra to the "big box store", obtain the foam, then fight the wind and snow and ice back to the bus stop, 2 bus rides......' there has to be a better way.
On a positive note, I found the sweetest LED flasher when I was out yesterday. Its made for bicycles, pedrestrians ect. The 'guts' of it is a pcb 4.25" long x 1/2" wide with 6 high intensity LED's spaced along it. Had to make a switch cover outta .025 alum sheet, as the 'switch' is a conductive plastic disk housed in a soft rubber dome. Put the LEDs on the switch side, tested it (the chase setting is PERFECT for night flying, shows exactly the direction of flight). Drilled a screw hole in the tail boom block, another in the boom and attached it. Cant wait to test it.
On a previous crunch, the battery box broke right off at the alum frame rails, (dunce bob forgot to tie the nano-tech battery down, when it slid foward the c.o.g went full foward and did a not so sweet nosedive into frozen snow) so I made 2 flat 'L's outta .025 alum and beef'd up the assy. The L's attach right to the far front screws on the frame rails, negating additional mounting. Made the bottom of the "L"s a bit long, so they are bent 90 degrees at the front of the battery box and the holding screws go there. Almost no weight gain... and the bat box is now strong. I never liked the stock bat box arrangement anyways.
Built another set of 'bobs modded landing gear' this time a lower short version (pontoons are 6" long rather than the 10" pontoons on #2). Left the back of the pontoons square rather than the 'sausage look' on the first set.
Now, if only the rx pcb's will show up
There must be some truth to the adverse enviromental effect on the gyro's in the F45. Lost my second gyro yesterday. Suddenly had no tail authority and thought the tail motor was toast, so I changed it out (and done the tail motor wiring upgrade, and the tail LED wires). Several hours later... went out for a quick test, hovered fine for 1-2 min, figured it was ok and went for a loop, 30-40' high it went into whirley-gig mode AGAIN... wrestled it from on top of the car repair business next door (somehow), and soon as i seen it was clear dumped it. Dang, how i pulled that off is a mystery. It had absolutely no control. Just thinking about it makes me guts tighten. Anyways futher investigation showed the tail motor circuit to be totally unresponsive to change. This is a new style pcb too. Wasnt there some mention of the gyros being temp grumpy? Did someone insulate the rx pcb and such? I cant recall
And I get to do the electrical power to rotating blades mod i been musing I know, i know... piccys bob... Dangit, if i plunk down for a decent camera, there goes my heli/foamie fund for a month. LOL whom of you lot elects to go without flying for a month? 3 days is an eternity
OK, I had between 10 and 11 thousandths of an inch of endplay. Some white stuff on the gear end screw (near stripped the <deleted> thing) so I went in from the top. Took the slop out with them 'paper hole reinforcing rings'. I took one bearing and centered it on the ring, pressed down hard to mark the outline of the bearing, then cut it to fit. Put this in the bearing housing (behind the bearing). 1 took out half the slop, so i made one with 2 rings, it worked perfect. While you are there look closely at the bearing housings, any signs of the race spinning... address that asap or you will wallow out a housing (and wonder why it flies like crap). If you dont have loctite, a small amount of ca works.
Again Tracker, thanks for this jewel of a find. Now my swashplate dont have any slop. :d
cheers lads

I have the 10degree extreme plastic fiber blades which work best.
The wood blades are nice, but are not suitable for the blade mounts and will break.[/QUOTE]
So those will work well with the EH200 BL upgrade? Do you have a link for those blades? Thxs!
Out flying with the F45 and F46 today. I am really getting to like the F46. Seems to handle better than the F45 and has good wind authority. I haven't had to make any mod changes to it ,,,, yet.
Once outside and you start flying, the gyro becomes cold and creates new references in the sensors. when it gets to a certain point, it seems to pin the rudder output to full output turning the heli into a top.
I have seen articles that stated to leave the heli outside for at least 20 minutes before flying so the gyro becomes conditioned to the outside ambient temperate. It is different with every gyro, so it is hard to say how long it needs to sit before flying.
Crash !
Today, I took the F45 and flew it on my favorite meadow.
This is a very large place, at the border of a forest with old and tall trees.
There is also a part part of the meadow that "goes" into this forest.
Imagine a square of about 150 m (450 feet) each side, 3 sides with trees and one side toward the meadow.
This square is convenient when it's windy, the trees give some protection.
A very nice place !
I stood in the middle of the square and flew wide turns inside the square and also over the meadow outside the square.
At a moment, coming back from the outside to the square, and thinking I was flying ahead of the trees, I realised thas I was false. (I saw after it was just a question of 1 or 2 meters)
The heli smashed in the trees with a fairly high speed, and felt on the ground about 50 feet lower , luckily with all the rain here these days the ground is soft.
Going to look for the heli, I was prepared for the worst.
The apparent thing was the blades were gone (These were Extreme blades, they are more fragile than the stock) and the heli was full of mud.
The flybar was also bent (in 6 months it must be the 30th time, but it's still the stock one !), and there is a little crack in the horizontal fin but apart of this, nothing !
I don't want to imagine the damage if this had been a CP heli !!
Lesson learned, I will have to take a bigger safety factor when flying nearby trees...

Bombshell: news shows fall short
It didn't surprise me last week when I turned on Nancy Grace and saw they were hashing over the Techel murder case. Seth Techel is accused of the fatal shooting of his wife, Lisa, and their unborn daughter near Agency. I had predicted when he was arrested that it would get Nancy's attention; normally I relish being right, but there was no glory in it this time.
I've been a Nancy Grace follower since she was an analyst on Court TV. I have been intrigued with and disgusted by injustice since I was a young child, and Nancy serves up a healthy portion of that every week night. I'm addicted to the adrenal rush of self-righteous indignation, and Nancy Grace is my primary dealer. Most of the time, I find her antics amusing, and although I do tire of how she berates her panel, I suspect she's chuckling all the way to the bank.
The first thing that bothered me about the Techel case being featured on Nancy Grace had its roots in old-fashioned jealousy. I'm only slightly ashamed to admit that one of my greatest aspirations in life is to someday appear on Nancy Grace - preferably as part of her panel. In the meantime, I frequently call the show, hoping Nancy will pick up. For more than a year, when Nancy announced that the phone lines were open, I would dial, get a busy signal, hang up, and immediately dial again – over and over for the duration of the show. By the end of every hour, I had Carpal Tunnel Syndrome and I'd missed three quarters of the show. One night, about two years ago, it paid off; I dialed and instead of the familiar busy signal, a woman answered.
"Nancy Grace, what is your question for Nancy tonight?" the voice said, as if reading off a tele-prompter.
Question? I'd faced rejection so often that it had not occurred to me to have a question prepared. I considered asking, "Could I host the show the next time Nancy is on vacation?" but thought better of it. Why squander this hard-earned opportunity? I hurriedly threw out a much less relevant question, and the voice responded.
"Turn your TV to mute, and Nancy will answer calls in the order they were received," Oz said. Then, click. I was on hold.
I scrambled for the remote and hit the mute button as instructed, which in retrospect was pointless because had Nancy answered just then she wouldn't have been able to hear anyway because I was screaming at the top of my lungs.
"TURN ON HLN! I'M ABOUT TO MAKE MY DEBUT ON THE NANCY GRACE SHOW!" I shouted.
Zane yelled back from his room, "YOU'RE DUMB!"
I patiently waited as Nancy took a call, changed the subject, took two more calls, changed the subject again, and then took an additional call. My heart was racing and skipping beats, a testament to the pathetic nature of my existence. And then, although I couldn't hear her, I saw the tell-tale photograph of a fallen American soldier on the screen, Nancy's signature close to her show each night. I was fighting tears when a recorded voice on the other end of the phone said, "Thank you for calling the Nancy Grace show. We're sorry, but Nancy ran out of time to take your call. Please try back again."
Try back again? Over the course of a year, I'd wasted a minimum of 260 hours trying to reach Nancy. Try back again? Are you serious?
My family was unsympathetic.
"I told you you're dumb," Zane said.
"What did you expect, dear?" Roger said.
What did I expect? I expected to talk to Nancy. I had things to say, contributions to make. I expected to dumbfound Nancy's audience with my brilliance, I told him.
"It doesn't take much to dumbfound Nancy's audience," Roger said flatly from behind his newspaper.
(In recent weeks, Roger has taken to shouting, "BOMBSHELL TONIGHT" as a preface to even the most mundane bites of information he wants to share with me. He says this ensures that I'm listening.)
I never called the Nancy Grace show again after my rejection, but I have continued to cling to my dream – however lame – to make a guest appearance someday, even if it be by telephone only. It chafes me that Seth Techel made it on and I didn't. Had I appeared instead, I feel certain that I would have represented our little corner of the Midwest much more honorably than Mr. Techel did. Now, when Nancy thinks about southeast Iowa, it will be his face she sees, not mine. The horror!
My feelings after Oprah aired her special about Fairfield were similar: I felt misrepresented. It wasn't that Oprah portrayed Fairfield in a negative light; she didn't. However, by focusing only on MUM, the domes and meditation, Oprah's story not only slighted the countless contributions of others, but it also missed the real crux of why Fairfield is such a great place to live and work.
Let's face it: when 5 o'clock rolls around, not everyone flocks to the domes as Oprah suggested. Fairfield isn't operating on it's own time zone, Central Dome Time. When the clock strikes 5 p.m., a much larger fraction of us continue on with our jobs, our families commitments, our own lives. Oprah told the truth but told it slant, as Emily Dickinson would say.
Fairfield's real story, which Oprah overlooked, is the clash of cultures that happened when the school opened and how that clash, in great part, has been resolved. What we've been left with is an amazing town rich in diversity and opportunity, a town where you may be stuck behind a combine in "traffic" on your way to eat Indian cuisine. We've become our own little melting pot, something very rare in any midwestern town, let alone a hamlet of this size. This coming together is our collective story.
Within that collective story, there are countless stories to be told about individuals and families in Fairfield and the surrounding communities – stories about survival in the face of adversity, stories of invention and innovation, stories of human compassion and altruism. The primary reason that I'm always thrilled when the opportunity to pinch hit at the Ledger comes up is that I enjoy meeting the people behind the headlines, whether or not the headlines are national ones.
I've vowed to make this the summer of my content. I've got a pretty healthy list of creative projects, both written and otherwise, that I would like to tackle before I head back to the classroom in August. I'm excited about the opportunity to spend valuable time with family and friends, both old and new. A lifelong learner, I have a list of new skills I'd like to acquire; I'm determined that this will be the summer I finally learn to play my dad's ukulele. The slower pace of summer provides an opportunity to add a new chapter to my life story. I'd like to think with ten weeks before me, I'll do something valuable, something to positively reflect my upbringing, my values, my community.
How about you? How would you represent Fairfield if Nancy or Oprah or the Fairfield Ledger ran your story? What have you been up to lately that our readers would find noteworthy? With summer before us, what contributions will you make to our fair field?
I'd like to know, and I'll be watching. I hope the phone in the newsroom will be ringing. We're from Fairfield, and we've got a story to tell. Let's make it a great one.

According to the latest odds put out by the sports book Bovada, the Nationals are tied with the Tigers and Dodgers at 17/2 as the favorites to win the 2013 World Series.
I tweeted out that information last night, only to have about five people respond telling me to stop being a jinx. If the Nats lose 100 games next season, you'll know who to blame.
I made an appearance on "The Mid-Atlantic Sports Report" on MASN last night (you can catch the video of my call-in here), and during the segment was asked why Adam LaRoche has yet to make a decision whether to return to the Nationals or sign elsewhere.
The market for LaRoche hasn't really developed as he might have hoped this offseason, and a few teams looking for a first baseman have already filled holes at that position. So what exactly is LaRoche waiting on at this point?
LaRoche still has his eyes set on a three-year contract, which we know the Nationals are unwilling to give him. They've put a two-year offer on the table and have told him that's as long a deal as they're willing to provide.
The veteran first baseman thoroughly enjoyed his time in D.C. these last two years. He and his family like the area, he loved playing for manager Davey Johnson and felt comfortable with his teammates. Winning a division title and playing in the postseason wasn't too bad, either. These are all things which could help draw him back to the Nationals.
But at 33, LaRoche knows his baseball career is winding down. He loves playing baseball (almost as much as he loves hunting) and sees this contract quite possibly being his last before he's pushed towards retirement, so he'd like to score a three-year deal which will allow him to continue playing into his age-36 season.
The Mariners are reportedly in on LaRoche and would like to bring him out west and slot him as their first baseman. They are viewed as one of the Nationals' main competitors for LaRoche, but the way I see it, even if Seattle offers LaRoche a three-year deal, it'd be surprising to see him take it.
The length of the contract isn't the only factor here. LaRoche wants to play for a contending team, a team that will give him a chance to play in the postseason and compete for a World Series title. In all likelihood, that won't be the Mariners, who haven't finished above third place in the American League West in the last five years.
What other teams are in the mix for LaRoche?
The Orioles are rumored to be interested, as they could use another power bat and a steady, everyday first baseman. They made the playoffs last season and playing in Baltimore would allow LaRoche's family to stay close to the D.C. area. But will the O's go to three years to get LaRoche to Charm City? Probably not.
The Red Sox were thought to be out of the picture for LaRoche, but there are rumors that Mike Napoli's signing has not yet been announced because of a possible issue with his physical. If Napoli's deal with the Sox does happen to fall through, LaRoche could be a fallback option, and I was told by a Nationals source at the Winter Meetings that prior to Boston adding Napoli, the Nats viewed the Red Sox as their chief competition in the LaRoche sweepstakes.
But if I was the Nationals, the team that would concern me the most is the Rangers. They have lots of cash to spend (especially now that Zack Greinke landed with the Dodgers) and have been very competitive of late, making the postseason three straight years, including World Series appearances in 2010 and 2011.
The Rangers might be interested in LaRoche, and that interest could increase if free agent outfielder Josh Hamilton ends up leaving Texas. That could lead the Rangers to look for a left-handed slugger, and LaRoche might fit the bill.
This is why LaRoche is taking his time and seeing how the market develops. If a team (the Rangers, for example) doesn't like how its pieces are getting put together this offseason, it could sneak in and offer LaRoche the three-year deal he desires.
The Nationals would like to have some resolution on this matter by around Christmas. If LaRoche re-signs, they would then have time to field trade offers for Michael Morse, and if LaRoche goes elsewhere, the Nats could look to set their roster without him.
Until then, however, we continue to wait.

Were these instructions helpful?
I went to your web suite to get part numbers. Found your videos. It told me what my problem was and how to fix it. Pull clip off. install new knob reinstall clip done. Very easy and fast. I couldn't even get a repairman out that fast.
had to pull knob out to see the clip locking the knob to the post.finally got the clip out, pulled knob off sand put on new knob with new clip
After viewing the brief video supplied by you,it was a simple five minute fix.
After pulling the knob out ( on position) a white retainer clip was visible behind the knob. Using a paper clip bent in to a "J" shape I was able to easily remove the retainer clip and knob . The old knob had several stripped teeth that caused the problem. The new knob came with the retainer clip installed . The knob slipped on and locked in position.
repair was quick and part came quickly. I was very satisfied.
simply replaced the old knob with the new one.
removed old knob pushed on new nrw one locked on wifh key
Getting the agitator out was the biggest hurdle. It was good to have the info from others that had the same problem. I ended up using a nylon strap with a buckle(used on a suitcase when you travel)and putting it under the bottom of the agitator and using a two by four as a lever. Leaning on it and even putting most of my weight on it didn't do it. Finally I took a rubber sledge hammer and pounded the end of the board three or four times and it popped off. Replacing the coupling was a piece of cake, as was puttting it back together. Unfortunately when I ran the cycle it still didn't agitate (88% chance coupling was the prob) So next I took the front off and checked the belt ...... it was fine. Probably the clutch or the motor ...... washer is too old to pay to have either of those replace. I replaced the dial (since I had the part anyway) It also was very difficult to pry off and I broke the plastic ring in the process ........

A new indie project called Stomping Ground, a horror comedy featuring Bigfoot and directed by Dan Riesser (of The Soup on E! Entertainment) is looking for financing to put the finishing touches on the film. A Kickstarter campaign that began March 11 is collecting fund to help with editing, color correction, sound design and visual FX.
The film stars John Bobek, Tarah DeSpain, and a notable guest appearance by Theresa Tilly of The Evil Dead. Taking place in North Carolina, the film is about a couple who set out on a Sasquatch-hunting trip in the backwoods with a friend, only to discover that there's an ulterior motive behind the trip.
The film has currently collected half of its $15,000 goal. Pledges can be made of a minimum $1 backing up to $5000, with escalating prizes along the way. If you'd like to get in on this indie film project, head over to Stomping Ground's Kickstarter page.

May also be called: Broken Elbow
Fractured (broken) elbows are a common injury in kids and teens. Most heal well when the joint is protected with a cast. Sometimes surgery is needed, but this is rare.
The elbow joint is made up of three bones. A fractured elbow means that one of the bones is broken. The elbow is commonly broken when someone holds an arm out to stop a fall. Sometimes the broken bone is obvious on X-ray. Other times, fluid collecting around the elbow joint is the only sign of a fracture.
A fiberglass or plaster cast will be placed around the elbow to support it and hold the broken bone(s) steady while they're healing.
How long a cast is needed varies depending on the type of injury and how the bones are healing. The doctor will let you know how long the cast is to be worn. A cast can feel heavy, so sometimes a sling is placed over it for support.

Achiote Shrimp, Avocado and Refried Beans
Honestly, we weren't fans of the dish. I could tell I wasn't going to like it when I was grilling the shrimp. The smell just didn't make me hungry with anticipation. While I was still photographing my plate SP took a bite and said the shrimp tasted like they were coated in Mexican mustard, which turned out to be a good description.
Of course, this was probably entirely our fault. The original recipe calls for sauteeing the shrimp in oil, but we thought grilling would be fun and impart a nice flavor. Little did we know the achiote needs oil to blossom and develop, so it's likely sauteeing would have been yieleded much better results.
The avocado, on the other hand, was delectable. I absolutely love avocado sliced and simply seasoned with lemon juice, salt and pepper.
We might try experimenting with achiote again in the future but I don't think this is something we'll rush to make again.

I love avocado too! I can't eat enough of them. I usually keep one or two around. Even if the meal wasn't all that great it looks beautifulReplyDelete
I'm not a huge fan of avocado - the best I can do is a VERY light smear of avocado on a sandwich with plenty of roast chicken! I have a very hard time just eating it without it being mushed or blended with other (stronger) flavours.ReplyDelete
The avacado caught my eye too, but I like the idea of a spicy shrimp - the pictures are fantastic!ReplyDelete

Once a Yankee, always a Yankee. Every once in a while, I get a certain error message in the eyes of native Dallasites too polite to tell me. "ERROR...ERROR...FATAL YANKEE-THINKING ERROR."
I got that look a lot last week when I was going to lunch with people, calling them up on the phone to chat, asking if Terrell Bolton could be a good old boy. I wasn't suggesting that our recently fired police chief was, in fact, a good old boy. I was trying to find out if he could become one, because, as far as I can tell, there are major benefits. I might even put in for it myself.
I was right in there with the rest of the mad dogs calling for the firing of the city's first African-American police chief, Bolton, on a variety of grounds. Fake drugs, high crime, hiding the ball, cops out of control, bad morale, weird management style: It all added up to a lousy job.
Now he's long gone, and The Dallas Morning News is publishing a series of top-notch investigative stories showing that Dallas County Sheriff Jim Bowles, a white man, has a long-standing cozy relationship with a jail contractor from whom Bowles has accepted meals and fishing trips and with whom he had some kind of bad-smelling deal to install a driveway at his home. All of which would add up, it seems to me, to the sheriff doing a lousy job, among other more serious possibilities.
But every day...I am talking every single day for the past month...I get phone calls from my fellow mad dogs out there, lobbying me to write something that would exonerate the sheriff. The argument for it goes like this:
Well, Schutze, he's an old guy (75 years), and he probably has stayed at the helm too long, but he just loves being the sheriff, and he's basically a good guy, and all that going to lunch and fishin' at Rockport, you know, that's just sheriff culture from way back. And, Jim, it's not like he thought he was doing anything wrong. He's just, you know, an old country boy. Wink-wink. He's just a good old boy. Wink-wink.
Well, see, wink-wink, tiddlywinks. The winks don't count for me, because I'm a stupid Yankee, and I don't wink right. If Terrell Bolton were a good old boy, would he not still be in office? Wink-wink?
You know, Terrell just loves being the chief, and that stuff with the misleading press conferences on the fake-drugs scandal, shoot, man, that's just City Hall culture. Riding around with his posse in all those limos, c'mon, the man never thought he was doing anything wrong. He's just, you know...Terrell grew up out there in the country back in Louisiana, and he's just a typical good old boy.
I sort of get it, and I sort of don't. In all my conversations, it's like being a good old boy is a get-out-of-jail-free card. You're dumb. You're sloppy. You break the rules. You're over the hill. And because you're a good old boy, those are all the good things about you.
So why wouldn't we all want a card like that? How do you get one?
I went to lunch with Allen Gwinn, who runs the Web page Dallas.org. He has done some really good work ferreting out various kinds of scampery at Dallas City Hall. Gwinn was right out there on the fringe with me calling for Bolton to get the ax. He still sponsors a special page dedicated to anti-Bolton information.
His regular Web page has a special section dedicated to the domestic-abuse conviction of school board member Ron Price, who is black. I have always been extremely suspicious of the way that case went down, and I have real questions about whether Price was treated fairly. But that's a story for another day, and I respect Gwinn's work on it.
Gwinn has another special section dedicated to the heroin conviction in San Francisco in 1952 of former Dallas City Councilman Al Lipscomb, who is black. Gwinn traveled to San Francisco to work on this for his page and came up with some interesting new wrinkles on this very old stiff of a story. He found, for example, that the undercover cop who wanted to bust Lipscomb for selling drugs 52 years ago kept getting foiled because every time the young and resourceful Lipscomb sold him "heroin," the stuff turned out to be table salt. One difference between San Francisco in 1952 and Dallas in 2002, I guess, was that back then they knew how to test the drugs.
But Gwinn also has a section of his Web site dedicated to proving that Sheriff Bowles, the only white guy on the page, is the victim of a political vendetta; that a raid of his office seeking evidence for a grand jury investigation was staged; that the investigation of Bowles is costing the taxpayers a lot of money, and so on.
When I met him for lunch, Gwinn had a stack of documents to show me to prove that Bowles hasn't done all that much wrong. I had already seen all of these documents at least three times in the previous month, along with all sorts of other stuff alleging that Bowles' main opponent in the upcoming election, Danny Chandler, is the spawn of Satan.
I drove out to DFW Airport several weeks ago on a Saturday night to meet a private detective who offered me a "sworn affidavit" alleging all sorts of nefarious history on Chandler. Only problem: It wasn't sworn. In fact, it wasn't signed. In fact, there was no name on it. But I love visiting the airport on the weekend.
So anyway, we went to lunch, and Gwinn wanted to show me this stack of stuff. And finally I said, "Just in terms of proportionality, why does Bowles deserve any break? Aren't you giving him a break or a consideration that you wouldn't have given Bolton?"
One blink.
He said: "If somebody does something wrongly or not, where is the profit? Where is the unfair benefit? Bowles wasn't driving around in a Cadillac or living in different houses or a yacht."
I asked: "Where was the benefit for Bolton?"
Three big blinks.
"Bolton was an idiot," he said.
Ah, but time-out here. I know all kinds of very serious people who will say absolutely that Bolton is not an idiot. That's not the problem. I spoke with a former high federal law enforcement official once who told me it would be "a serious miscalculation" to imagine that Bolton is anything but quite bright. The question is what he chooses to do with his bright.
I know a former Dallas police chief--critical of the way Bolton handled his tenure as chief--who said that Bolton could even have become a brilliant chief if he had been given five years' more seasoning before getting the job.
I know regular cops, including white regular cops, who worked with Bolton when he was on his way up and thought very well of him.
I'm just saying Bolton has lots of people on his side, too. People who like him, respect him, think he has it coming and going. Whereas, even among Bowles' most ardent defenders, even from Gwinn, I don't hear anything all that flattering about the sheriff.
If this is a straight-up I.Q. test, then Bolton takes the day. But somehow the sheriff's I.Q. problems are rendered almost a virtue every time somebody reminds me that he's a good old boy. I guess good old boys have some kind of reverse I.Q. The lower the better.
Let me point out one other thing. There are people around the sheriff right now, within the sheriff's uniformed ranks, who are getting real tired of being called before the grand jury because the sheriff took them out to lunch or on fishing trips with contractors. From their point of view, the sheriff's mistakes were hardly innocent. Those mistakes in judgment are coming back to haunt other people who felt they had no choice but to follow the leader to lunch.
I called Sharon Boyd, another Web-page guru who I hope is a friend. She was a major Bolton-baiter, and now she's on this save-the-sheriff kick, too. Boyd does excellent work on her page with a number of issues, especially the Trinity River and the Cowboys football stadium. She has personal ties to Bowles because her father was a deputy with him.
"I stand kind of where Allen is," she said, "because I've known Bowles most of my life. He and my dad were friends. I think it's really crappy that suddenly we have a new set of rules, when they all play by the same rules down there."
Sure. I don't quite follow the thing with the set of rules. I'm just terribly eager myself not to wind up in the Big House, so I always try to go by whatever is the most up-to-date set of rules. I like to keep up. Maybe I'm not enough of a gambler.
If you like this story, consider signing up for our email newsletters.
You have successfully signed up for your selected newsletter(s) - please keep an eye on your mailbox, we're movin' in!
But the point is, Bolton has loyal defenders, too, people who are daughters of old friends, tons of people who love him. Not me. But people.
So what if Bolton were white? And Bowles were black? What if Bolton could be a good old boy? And Bowles could not? Then would the same people who wanted to crucify Bolton have said he should be forgiven? And would Bowles be the devil spawn?
I'm not saying everybody thinks that way. But it's an interesting thing to ponder, isn't it? Meanwhile, what if we just agree that major law enforcement officials who do lousy jobs need to be replaced? Keep it simple, eh?

The Generational Evolution of Korean Footballers in Europe
FC Barcelona's wonderkid Lee Seung-woo is still confused. When the 18-year-old South Korean missed a scoring chance in an under-18 friendly match against Belgium last year, he expressed his frustration by kicking an advertising board. Lee had no idea that his impulsive reaction was about to spark a public debate about his character—and whether or not if he has what those back home call the "suitable personality" to play the "Korean way."
"I was really surprised," Lee told TV network JTBC recently, as he recalled the controversy from May. "It's not like I hit a person, but everything in the media was about my kick to the advert. But then if I were to hide my edgy side, wouldn't journalists get bored?"
Lee's outward display of expressive attitude is a rare trait in Korea, a country that's deeply woven into the social fabric of conforming to a hierarchy. Since the 2014 U-16 Asian Championship, where Lee became a star in Korea with an electric performance, he has never shied away from making bold statements. He has called Japan a "light" opponent, said he aims to win the Ballon d'Or one day and also put himself in the list of world's top three players in his age group.
Most Koreans don't know what they should make of Lee's outlandishness, but equally confused is the boy himself who's trying to bridge the gap between himself and the country that he left in 2011 when Barcelona came calling to lure the then 13-year-old to join their worldly renowned youth academy.
Ultimately, the onus will fall on Lee as Korea's willingness to accept him as one of their own will eventually hinge on how he responds to the tall order of proving that he is as good as he is rated in Barcelona. Lee took another step in his journey last weekend when he debuted for Barcelona's under-19 Juvenil A side.
But how Lee's career unfolds will be significant because he is at the core of an evolving trend in Korean football. Although Lee's career is still in infancy as he continues developing in Barcelona, his early emergence to stardom in Korea marks the beginning of a new generation—players who have left the country during their early teens to join youth academies of European clubs. Lee and his Barcelona clubmates Paik Seung-ho and Jang Gyeol-hee are at the forefront of this new generation, followed by Valencia's highly-rated, 14-year-old whiz kid Lee Kang-in and several other youngsters, most of whose relocation to Spain and Germany was engineered by the Korea Football Association.
In essence, Lee and his peers are the leaders of the third generation of Korean footballers in Europe. Since the early 2000s, Korea relied heavily on players based in Europe as their core group to lead the national team. Park Ji-sung and Lee Young-pyo, the former PSV Eindhoven duo who won several titles with the Dutch club before parting ways to enjoy success at Manchester United and Tottenham, triggered the first wave of such a movement. The torch was then passed to the younger generation of players led by Ki Sung-yueng and Lee Chung-yong, both of whom developed under the tutelage of Park Ji-sung and Lee Young-pyo in the late 2000s before they followed their predecessors to establish themselves in the Premier League. The kids in Barcelona are expected to become the fulcrum of the next chosen ones.
Learning why Korea chose to rely on players based in Europe requires an understanding of the K League's impact on national team football. When the K League was founded as Asia's first professional football league in 1983, the hope was that it plays a vital role in providing a quality-assured talent pipeline to make the country's national team the best side in Asia. That mission was more or less accomplished as South Korea earned their first qualification to the World Cup in 1986 for the first time since 1954. From then on, they have not missed a single World Cup.
But Korea soon hit a wall. At four World Cups held between 1986 and 1998, their squads consisted mostly of K League players and no more than one or two players based outside of the country. The team dominated Asian qualifying with relative ease, only to falter badly at the World Cup as they failed to win a single match before going three-and-out each time. A few players with European experience were sprinkled across Korea's squads at those tournaments—the legendary Cha Bum-kun who won two UEFA Cup titles during his stint in Germany in 1986, three-time Asian Footballer of the Year Kim Joo-sung who played for VfL Bochum in 1994 and NAC Breda's Noh Jung-yoon and Seo Jung-won of Strasbourg in 1998—but merely having one or two of those individuals wasn't enough to lift the team's core group that was built primarily around inexperienced domestic players.
Highly alarmed by the perpetuating status quo, the Korea Football Association became desperate to tweak the national team setup. As Korea was set to co-host the 2002 World Cup with Japan, the pressure from the public on the KFA to build a national team that can outperform their rival neighbors, whose national team featured key players from the sides that were 1999 U-20 World Cup runners-up, 2000 Asian Cup champions and 2001 Confederations Cup runners-up, intensified greatly. To be competitive against the world's best, Korea's best footballers needed to break out of their comfort zone.
By that time, Korea had just one of their big-name stars in Europe—Ahn Jung-hwan at Perugia in the Italian Serie A. But starting in 2000, the KFA began making an organized effort to work with European agents who brokered deals that took Korean players abroad. Soon, Seol Ki-hyeon joined Royal Antwerp in Belgium and Sim Jae-won signed with Germany's Eintracht Frankfurt. When the KFA appointed Guus Hiddink as the new national team manager in the same year, the Dutchman signed his lucrative contract under the condition that he must sign a Korean player if his next post were to be at a European club.
Two years later, the floodgates were finally opened after Korea won a place on the map of world football with a miraculous run to the semifinals at the World Cup. Hiddink kept his promise and took Park Ji-sung and Lee Young-pyo to PSV Eindhoven, giving birth to the first generation of Korean footballers in Europe. Impressed with Korea's World Cup performance, European clubs started scouting for talents in the K League, which launched the exodus of Korea's 2002 World Cup heroes to stronger European leagues. Song Chong-gug and Kim Nam-il headed to the Dutch Eredivisie, while Lee Chun-soo joined Real Sociedad in Spain. Bayer Leverkusen signed Cha Du-ri and Lee Eul-yong moved to Turkish outfit Trabzonspor. Most of these players teamed up once again in 2006 in Germany where Korea won a World Cup match for the first time on a foreign soil against Togo.
As Park Ji-sung conquered England and Europe with Manchester United, even the likes of Kim Do-heon, Lee Dong-gook and Cho Won-hee—standouts in the K League, but lesser known outside of Asia—were signed by clubs in the Premier League. Cha Bum-kun achieved European success with Bundesliga clubs and Huh Jung-moo was respected at PSV Eindhoven in the 80s, but they were "aberrations." Hwang Sun-hong in Germany's lower divisions and Kim Joo-sung, Noh Jung-yoon, Seo Jung-won and Lee Sang-yoon featuring in different parts of Europe throughout the 90s were also cases of "exceptions." But the post-2002, "first generation" Koreans in Europe became the starting point of a trend and paved the way to enable the elites of Korea national team and the K League—the domestically proven commodities—to achieve their ultimate dream of playing European football for years to come.
Then, a new wave of young players with an ability to play aesthetically-pleasing football was introduced as Korea began a new cycle to qualify for the 2010 World Cup. Korea's prodigious forward Park Chu-young, who was a project in the works in 2006, was joined by FC Seoul teammates Ki Sung-yueng and Lee Chung-yong, teenagers who represented Korea at the 2007 U-20 World Cup (Park Joo-ho, who now plays at Borussia Dortmund, also played in this tournament). The trio quickly became starters for Korea before moving to Europe as soon as they entered their early 20s. When called up to the national team, they were under the stewardship of veterans in their 30s with a wealth of European experience, namely Park Ji-sung, Lee Young-pyo, Cha Du-ri, Kim Nam-il, Lee Dong-gook and Ahn Jung-hwan, to provide them with protection and guidance. Of the 23 players in Korea's 23-man squad at the 2010 World Cup, where they advanced from the group stage away from home for the first time, six were playing club football in Europe while five others had European experience.
At the 2012 Summer Olympic Games in London, Park Chu-young, Ki Sung-yueng and another emerging star midfielder Koo Ja-cheol from FC Augsburg were among the leaders of the Korean side that won the bronze medal. The accomplishments at the 2010 World Cup and 2012 Olympic Games also coincided with the period in which the KFA's investment to bring up talented young players through the youth ranks of European clubs started paying big dividends. Between 2002 and 2009, the KFA selected 19 top-of-the-line players in the country's under-15 middle school league to help them join youth academies of various clubs in France, England and Germany. Not too long after the turn of the decade, the likes of Son Heung-min, Nam Tae-hee, Ji Dong-won and Lee Yong-jae have come through that program and were playing first team football at Hamburg, Valenciennes, Sunderland and Nantes.
By the time of the 2014 World Cup in Brazil, the tide was turned completely. From the 1986 World Cup squad that had everyone except Cha Bum-kun playing within Korea, only six Korean players at the 2014 tournament were based in their own country while 17 were playing abroad. Of those 17, eight have never even played in Korea beyond the under-18 level. That being said, Korea's moderate success in international football leading up to 2014 came to a screeching halt in Brazil as the team failed to win a match at the World Cup for the first time in 16 years.
But all signs still indicate that the KFA will continue to outsource players to Europe and hope that the K League catches up to speed with the rest of the world in the meantime. In fact, the KFA has lowered the age group of players it's now targeting for their "play abroad" program to under-12. Lee Seung-woo, Jang Gyeol-hee and Paik Seung-ho at Barcelona and Lee Kang-in at Valencia are this upcoming generation's founding members. As more children head to Europe, they will grow up with the hopes of becoming professional footballers in the world's best leagues while they remain oblivious to the widening cultural gap between them and the country they call home.
For Korea, the risk of having to rely on teenagers in Europe to break through at their clubs, where competition is fierce, to supply the talent that's needed for the national team to remain competitive is already a big one in and of itself. But even if that were to be a risk worth taking, the next challenge becomes how the European raised footballers will be received by people in their motherland.
Korea national team captain Ki Sung-yueng, who himself grew up in Australia, is cautiously optimistic.
"What's problematic for me is that our players habitually accept errors during a match," Ki told Naver Sports a year ago. "At times, you need someone who will yell, start arguments and use profanity to give everyone a wake-up call. That's how we improve. Rejection to criticism only creates a limit. We need a cultural change within the team. Our younger friends in Spain will surely be different. Soon enough, we may be seeing one of our own players yelling in his teammate's face over a bad pass."

When China met Africa
I saw a fascinating film, When China Met Africa, in the Brighton Documentary Film Festival (SEE) this weekend.
The film, by Nick and Marc Francis, follows the lives of two Chinese entrepreneurs in Zambia – one a farm owner, the other an employee of a Chinese firm responsible for building a major road.
The film drew on research by IDS Globalisation Fellow Jing Gu. It gives a subtle and nuanced picture of the lives of Chinese entrepreneurs (for a different perspective see the BBC's The Chinese Are Coming documentary last week). It shows the clash of cultures and the resentment by Zambian workers, but it also shows the pressure that Chinese entrepreneurs feel under. It's clear that the Zambian government is in awe of Chinese firms' ability to deliver on major projects much faster than their western counterparts.
But perhaps the single feature that made the documentary distinctive in my view was that it had no voice over. Everything was simply observed, with the individuals speaking their mind in their own words. This was an extraordinary challenge because both the Chinese and the Zambians were speaking in local dialects unknown to the filmmakers. Thus Nick and Marc Francis didn't really know what their film was about until after they had made it and read the translations of the dialogue. This gives the film an authenticity that is much more compelling than a more directed documentary.
Talking to the filmmakers at the end, they said that their next film will look at tax havens. Hopefully they will be able to draw on the work of the new International Centre for Taxation and Development (ICTD) led by IDS Fellow Mick Moore, as well as the campaign on tax havens by Christian Aid. Watch this space.

I also had the opportunity to watch this extraordinary film during the See Festival last weekend. In my opinion the directors did a great effort to present the Chinese presence in Africa as it is, exposing the good and the 'not that good' consequences of the Chinese engagement in the continent. By not using a voice over the documentary, an open door is left for discussion and reinforces the right of the audience to make up their minds without being manipulated by the filmmakers/producers. This impression contrasts with the one I got when I saw the 'Chinese are coming'… in my opinion a less serious, less researched and far more biased and manipulative documentary.

My field research suggests that the increase in Chinese investment in Africa is a result of both domestic and global factors. The ferocious domestic competitiveness and continuing structural adjustment of the Chinese economy are the context of firms' decisions to go to Africa. Generally speaking, Chinese firms see Africa as an opportunity to be risked rather than perceiving it as a problematic investment ground. For many Chinese firms, Africa is 'the last golden land' of economic opportunity.
Many Chinese entrepreneurs that we interviewed, reflecting upon the ability of Chinese firms to survive and grow, drew upon a Chinese saying; 'If we have a little rain, then the seeds become shoots; a little bit of sunshine then the shoots grow robustly!' (见点雨露就发芽, 给点阳光就灿烂)

Weather delayed, by a few days, the Baldwinsville softball team's trip to Gillette Field to take on defending Section III Class AA champion Cicero-North Syracuse.
When they finally did play on a chilly, windy Friday afternoon, the undefeated Bees hit first – but the Northstars hit back, hard, and didn't stop until it had beaten B'ville 10-3.
B'ville, knowing that CNS had not played a game in two weeks, jumped on Northstars pitcher Sarah Salamone for two runs in the top of the first, Kaitlyn Massett belting an RBI triple to score Emily Brissenden and Jessica Testa singling home Brissenden.
In response, CNS got to Liz Campbell for three runs in the bottom of the first, the key blow Sam Cirillo's two-run single. Campbell then settled down until the late stages, when the Northstars struck for seven more runs, three of them in the fifth.
All told, Campbell gave up 14 hits as Salamone and Sydney O'Hara led CNS with three RBIs apiece. Sydney Carlucci did notch a sixth-inning RBi single, one of three hits she picked up as Brissenden and Massett notched two hits apiece.
Right after, the Bees showed its resilience by taking on Fayetteville-Manlius Saturday afternoon and pulling out a 3-2 victory over the Hornets.
Twice, B'ville saw one-run leads disappear, in the fourth and sixth innings. Both times, the Bees immediately answered with runs to move back in front, the last of those tallies leading to Campbell's scoreless seventh inning to win it.
Carlucci, Massett and Paige Altman each managed one RBI as Massett, Brissenden and Lindsay Varga scored the runs. Campbell allowed five hits while striking out eight, edging out F-M ace Amy Bright, who lost despite a nine-strikeout effort.
While it waited to face CNS, it turned up with an all-out blitz in Thursday's game against Corcoran, not stopping until it had flattened the Cougars 30-2.
Already up 4-0 through two innings, the Bees hit double digits with a six-run third, then put things away by scoring 16 runs in the fourth inning alone.
In all, B'ville had 28 hits, five of them from Testa, who had the game's only home run. Brissenden doubled twice and finished with six RBIs, while Amy Sidorakis had a triple and two doubles on her way to four hits and five runs scored.
Sarah Richards doubled twice as she and Carlucci each earned three RBIs. Sidorakis, Testa, Danielle Sayler and Madeline Fiello drove in two runs apiece.

The Galaxy's quest for a third Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup begins on Tuesday night when they host USSF Division 2 Pro League side AC St. Louis. Currently in their inaugural season, St. Louis is currently in last place of the NASL Division of the D2 Pro League with a 2-7-2 record so far this season.
However, AC looks to be starting to turn their season around as they are unbeaten in their last four games in all competitions, going 1-0-1 in their last two league games and winning a pair of Open Cup matches to set up Tuesday's showdown with the Galaxy.
Here is some more information about tomorrow's opponent, AC St. Louis
Head Coach:
Dale Schilly
Named the club's head coach on Thursday, June 24, Schilly replaced Claude Anelka just two days after the club's Open Cup Second Round win over Minnesota. He made his debut on the bench in the 0-0 home draw with Vancouver on Saturday.
He joined AC St. Louis after a successful career in youth soccer, coaching Metro United (now St. Louis Scott Gallagher Illinois) for the past 15 years. Schilly has 14 years of experience as a head coach with the Region II Olympic Development program, and has over 25 years of coaching experience at the youth and collegiate levels. This is his first head coaching role with a professional team.
Key Players
#1 Alec Dufty – Goalkeeper
AC St. Louis' #1 goalkeeper, Dufty has started all 11 of the club's league games as well as both Open Cup games. He enters Tuesday's game with a 1.55 goals against average in league play, but has not allowed a goal in his last four appearances dating back to May 29. A member of the New York Red Bulls last season, he made his MLS debut in a 0-0 draw at Houston, replacing the injured Danny Cepero after just eight minutes. He did not allow a goal in 82 minutes on the field, making two saves to earn the draw. However, he was released a few days later as Jon Conway returned from a suspension.
#5 Jack Traynor – Defender
The AC St. Louis captain, Traynor has made 11 appearances for the club this season. A left back during his four years at Notre Dame, Traynor has been used primarily in central defense during his time with St. Louis. Drafted by the New York Red Bulls in the Second Round of the 2009 MLS SuperDraft, Traynor did not sign with the club and spent the 2009 season with Miami FC before signing with St. Louis prior to the start of this season. A Missouri-native, Traynor appeared in 86 games during his college career, helping Notre Dame reach the NCAA Tournament in each of his four seasons with the club.
#15 Mike Ambersley – Forward
The club's leading scorer with two goals and an assist in the regular season, Ambersley has scored in each of his club's previous Open Cup games against Des Moines and Minnesota. Often utilized as the lone striker, Ambersley win the College Cup at Indiana in 2004, scoring the Cup winning penalty against UC Santa Barbara in the College Cup Final. He was drafted by FC Dallas in the Fourth Round of the 2006 MLS SuperDraft but never played a game for the club. He spent three years with Rochester of the USL First Division, before joining AC St. Louis prior to the start of this season.

An official review into the post-mortem examination held on the actress in 1981 was released on Monday.
A 10-page addendum cites unexplained bruises and scratches on her face and arms as significant factors that led to officials changing her death certificate last year from drowning to "drowning and other undetermined factors".
The 43-year-old star had been drinking heavily on a yacht with her actor-husband Robert Wagner and co-star Christopher Walken in November 1981 off Catalina Island.
The initial coroner's report decided the death was accidental and the bruising probably occurred when she ended up in the water.
But it was amended last June to read: "The location of the bruises, the multiplicity of the bruises, lack of head trauma, or facial bruising support bruising having occurred prior to entry in the water".
"Since there are unanswered questions and limited additional evidence available for evaluation, it is opined by this medical examiner that the manner of death should be left as undetermined," Chief Medical Examiner Dr Lakshmanan Sathyavagiswaran added.
The fact that Wood was not wearing a life jacket, had no history of suicide attempts and left no note also led officials to amend the death certificate.
Sheriff's spokesman Steve Whitmore said the report does not change the status of the investigation, and Wagner is not considered a suspect.
The renewed inquiry came after the boat's captain, Dennis Davern, told a TV programme he heard Wagner and Wood arguing on the night of her disappearance and believed Wagner was to blame for her death.
Wagner wrote in a 2008 memoir that he and Walken had argued that night.
He wrote that Walken went to bed and he stayed up for a while, but when he went to bed, he noticed his wife and a dinghy that had been attached to the yacht were missing.
"Nobody knows," he wrote. "There are only two possibilities; either she was trying to get away from the argument, or she was trying to tie the dinghy. But the bottom line is that nobody knows exactly what happened."
Neither Wagner nor Walken have responded to the amended coroner's report.
As a 16-year-old, Wood's part in Rebel Without A Cause alongside James Dean in 1955 earned her a nomination for the best supporting actress Oscar.
She starred in the musicals West Side Story and Gypsy, and received best actress nominations for her performances in Splendor In The Grass and Love With The Proper Stranger.

What a way to go. They wouldn't have to paint one on.
At least you'll die with a smile on your face. :)
A suicide job, but someones got tu do it!
That's what I like about you torris. You're always up for the challenge no matter how tough it might be.
No one said it would be easy. But that's the chance one must take.
LOL Don't think he can handle 6 of them.
Just wait until these girls finish with yu - you're going to be exhausted!!!
How very kind of them. borris and morris will be so jealous!
Straight away, torris, they're leanin' over the wall looking for yu? They've agreed to give you lessons on the gracefulness of ballet!!!
A ring a ding ding when do I begin!!!
tu tu cute!
heheheh too cute!!
Nice tutus...
I bet you are right chookies.
All beautiful young ladies, Thanks chookies.
Ah, I bet they could teach him a thing or two chickie....
Cute chookies. We all could probably take a few tips from torris. LOL
This made me chuckle out loud, wishing I had that kind of body still. Beautiful ladies! It reminds me of when I was just a tiny girl and my mom took me to ballet lessons in my little pink tutu. I was so young, I probably fell all over myself. Thanks, Chookies.
Yes I did yellowgal but not for that many years. I worked in Education and my students studied ballet - it was a 3-year course - and many went on to bigger and better things in their field of dance. Not only did we have female dancers but male dancers as well and it was wonderful to watch them all perform when they were at their peak!! Thanks for stopping by:)
I studied for 8 years and loved every minute of it! You, too, chookies?
That's just tu cute!

Viewing Pippi21's Garden Diary: The thrill of learning how to collect seeds from a plant your grow yourself
Saturday, July 2, 2011
Rose campionHope this is not a duplicate posting. I figured out how to collect the seeds from the Rose campion plant on my own after people explained the method. Didn't sink in when I read it, but in a few days, I noticed that the seed pods were beginning to turn a different color..like they were drying up and there seemed to be a hole in top of pod. Got a paper bowl out of garage cabinet and turned the dried pods upside down and out came all these small seeds. Yeh! Better late than never. Each day I have been removing some of the dried pods and gathering more seeds. This morning after I watered all the flowerbeds, and patio containers, I cut that rose campion plant back to the ground. I will probably dig it up one day next week, maybe Tuesday. Cut back some of the dried foliage from the daffs, pulled up Patty's Plumb poppy foliage that was dried. I think I'll just stick to the red poppies next year but who knows, I may change my mind when it comes to WS time 2012.
I'm going to order some short version shasta seeds and while I'm digging up the rose campion plant, I'll dig up the existing Snow Lady shasta daisies that have finished blooming and try to divide and transplant it and move it closer to front of border since it only gets 12-15 inches tall. Cut back the foliage of the oriental poppy and I'm sure there is more that needs to be done, which will allow me to see where there is blank space to transplant the daisies. Need to dig up the Emerald Blue creeping phlox and try to split it and replant it. The black eye susans are about ready to bloom.

Forbes has taken an in depth look at three legal ad supported P2P's set to debut in the coming months - Qtrax, Spiral Frog and Mashboxx. Each company has their own approach, but a common thread is that using one method or another tracks from all three will come heavily restricted. Glenn at Coolfer points out that none of the tracks will be playable on the iPod which will be a major adoption barrier.
The article is worth reading and ad supported P2P may find a niche audience, but I'm still betting on 2007 being the Year Of The Mp3.

Adam West, Iconic 'Batman' TV Star, Dies at 88
Adam West, star of the 1960's 'Batman' TV series, died on June 9.
Adam West, star of the 1960's 'Batman' TV series, died on June 9.
I might not be a Star Wars geek but I am super excited for the new Batman movie! The official trailer was released last night and it looks so good!
There was a pre screening of Batman vs Superman Dawn of Justice. And of course it got a standing ovation.
When Warner Bros. announced their upcoming superhero schedule last year, one title notably missing was a solo Batman movie. Sure, Batman was going to be a big part of both Batman vs. Superman and the two Justice League movies, but would Batfleck be getting his own trilogy, a la The Dark Knight? It turns out, yes, yes he will. Latino Review is reporting that Ben Affleck will both star in and direct the spinoff, titled The Batman, which is set for November 2018.
Before Tim Burton's 1989 Batman movie, Batman was largely known for the campy Adam West/Burt Ward TV series. In fact, they wanted to make a Batman movie based on that show called Batman in Outer Space. Luckily, two movie producers bought the rights and wanted to make a darker version of Batman's story. In the mid-80s, after the success of Ghostbusters, director Ivan Reitman was attached to direct and he wanted to cast Bill Murray as Batman and Eddie Murphy as Robin. These are just some of the facts packed into the latest episode of You Think You Know Movies, which heads to Gotham with the original Batman!
This guy has got to be the most entertaining and irritating person in the world to live with. Wait, what? Isn't that the absolute definition of irritainment?
It's here, folks! After weeks of seeing leaked images of 'Star Wars: Episode 7' set pieces and cast and crew members, the first official footage of the Millennium Falcon has landed. Better still, it's a continuation of J.J. Abrams and Zack Snyder's ongoing 'Star Wars'-'Batman' crossovers.
When I was a kid, I wanted to be Batman when I grew up. I thought that was the coolest job EVER!My brothers and friends made fun of me….Kate still makes fun of me for wanting to be Batman. Keep in mind this was back when Adam West was Batman…way before Batman had the cool costume and toys, not to mention the awesome Batmobile.

Hi everyone,
Apr 15, 2008 - 4:30 pm
Although it does freak me out too, my advice to you is to focus on the positives in your life right now!! We can't make a relationship happen, and usually it is the people you aren't expecting/trying to meet who end up being the greatest people in your life. For me, I'm going to enjoy the healthy, youthful years I have right now being with my friends and family and enjoying the single life. I like the fact that I am not tied down anywhere, and thus can pursue more educational and career opportunities anywhere I wish. I'm enjoying the fact that I have yet to suffer any serious, secondary effects of my cancer treatment...and try not to worry about the "what ifs" that may occur in the future. Believe me, I have my days when I wish there was someone to come home to and less to stress over...but I try to always look on the bright side.
It may be little comfort, but you are an amazing person just for having survived cancer...and someday someone will realize it and thank God nobody snatched you up earlier!!
Apr 04, 2009 - 1:50 am
I had ALL as well, but I was only 2-ish, currently I'm 17 (almost 18). When the right time comes you will find someone who will treat you right! When I wasn't even looking for someone I found the person I'm meant to be with, trust me you'll know! I know I sound like some crazy teen, but I promise you it's good advice, someone told it to me a while ago and I listened. I may only be 17, but age doesn't really matter.. who says we're supposed to fall in love at a set time in life? Save that kiss for the boy that is going to treat you like the princess you deserve to be treated like! Just be yourself and don't worry about what others think, because if someone can't love you the way you are, they aren't deserving of you!
Even if you go through menopause early you could always consider adoption (I'm actually adopted) because there are PLENTY of babies out there looking for a good home with loving parents.
Best of luck!
Jul 12, 2009 - 9:41 pm
Hi there... if you're still out there that is, lol. I'm 26 years old and I had Neuroblastoma when I was three. I was given full body radiation as the cancer had spread throughout my body and chemo. I was told I'll never be able to have children because I don't produce hormones naturally (I had to do growth hormone shots followed by hormone replacement therapy drugs... and still am to prevent my body from going through menopause) and because of the amount of radiation I was given my 'eggs' were probably all damaged. Trust me I know how hard it is when everyone you know is dating and getting into relationships. The best thing you can do is be yourself, someone is bound to notice how special you are. I noticed the more anti-social and 'clammed up' I became the less people wanted to be around me. And if someone is going to judge you based on your ability to have children then they're obviously not the one for you. I hate to do it but to quote a movie "There's no wrong way to start a family." There's always IVF, donor eggs/embryos, surrogacy, and adoption. Also, you can still have children after menopause, though you will need medical assistance to get pregnant, menopause is not the end. If all else fails, get a puppy. I have two. =P

A Nov. 19 preliminary hearing has been set for Danny Shaw, who is charged with failing to register as a sex offender and was arrested on Halloween as he gave candy to trick-or-treaters in Ramona.
Shaw, 29, of Yucca Valley, was visiting family members in Ramona on Halloween when he was seen giving candy to children at the annual Main Street Trick or Treat event sponsored by Ramona Chamber of Commerce.
Shaw pleaded not guilty to the felony charge last week in El Cajon Superior Court. Deputy District Attorney Derek Grilz said Shaw was convicted of a sex charge involving a girl in Oregon in 2003.
Shaw was dressed as a zombie at the event and some parents told sheriff's deputies he was acting suspiciously. His costume included white face paint with red stripes to resemble blood.
Shaw was 19 years old when he was convicted of the charge in Oregon. He remains in the South Bay Detention Facility on $100,000 bail. If convicted, he could be sentenced to six years in prison.

Hello all,
I just installed an Ortofon 2M Blue and a Pro-Ject Tube Box SE II. My turntable is a Technics SL-1200MK2. I am experiencing a lot of hiss and pops with this new cartridge that I did not experience with my old Shure M97XE. I balanced the tone arm and set the dial to zero, ten attempted the set the tracking force to the recommended 1.6-2.0g. Unfortunately I was only able to go up to 1.5 since the counterweight was as far in as it could go at that point. I'm also never sure what to set the height and anti-skating to. It's seems to be much easier to skip now when walking by the player.
I'm sure that I am doing something glaringly wrong here. Any thoughts?

Welcome to St Mary's Catholic Parish Concord
Our parish, in the suburb of Concord, is part of the Archdiocese of Sydney, Australia.
St Mary's Parish is situated on Parramatta Road at Concord and includes parts of the inner-western suburbs of Concord, Burwood, Strathfield, North Strathfield and Canada Bay.
The parish is mostly residential with some medium and high density housing in Burwood and Strathfield and in new housing developments on Canada Bay and Exile Bay (Parramatta River).
St Mary's Parish was founded in 1870 although a church and school had been established on the Parramatta Road site in 1845.
Our Vision is to make Christ present in our parish, in our local community and in our world.
Our Mission is to know Christ and to make him known; to be a community committed to discovering Christ present in each person through our ministry to each other, our service to the wider community, the joyful celebration of the Eucharist and other sacraments, and our active concern for social justice.

text: Hi, Neighbor (at my request) brought me venison ribs and neck meat yesterday and some other red meat. I'm experimenting. We just canned 2.5 quarts of the meat and I have the ribs cut in 2-3 rib portions and soaking in salt water at present. I own a commercial food warming cabinet that heats to 190 degrees. It has 6 open type racks in it and I plan to use some fruit tree twigs in a small fry pan to smoke the ribs at 160 degrees. Have no rub recipe. Plan to simply lay the ribs on the racks ans season with garlic powder and Montreal steak seasoning. There is a sheet cake drip pan below to catch grease. Suggestions? How long to smoke? Jerry
