Billy Ledda's Italian Market Is Hudson's Hidden Gem
By Jamie Larson
The unambiguously named Italian Market in Hudson just might be the posh little city's best-kept secret. Unassuming at first glance, this humble market and deli is quietly home to some of the best food in the gastronomically cultured area.
Billy Ledda moved to the Hudson Valley from Long Island and opened up shop on the corner of Park Place and Columbia Street during the summer of 2011. Since then he hasn't spent a dime on advertising — this article is his first piece of press — yet, by the consistent quality of the perfectly executed sandwiches and Italian staples Ledda puts out every day, The Italian Market has amassed a secret cult following that he says now keeps him busy even in the traditionally slower winter months.
"I don't cut corners," said Ledda plainly. "You have to slice the meat thin and fresh for every sandwich. It keeps a sandwich light no matter how much you put on it."
Ledda didn't actually glean recipes from his family growing up, but he did learn the Italian way to cook. He was raised on Long Island but his father, who had a bar in Hudson in the 60s, grew up on 100 acres in Green County's "Enchanted Forest" outside East Durham. Ledda spent time as a kid on the family farm where they produced their own food and slaughtered their own animals. "It made me appreciate where food comes from, where I come from."
"There's nothing I've had here I didn't absolutely love," said loyal customer Nathan Harrelson. "First off, the place is spotlessly clean. And when you get your sandwich, it's like a piece of art on the plate. Billy treats you like you're eating in his house."
The food at The Italian Market is simple, intuitive and driven by the quality of ingredients. Ledda gets his bread shipped up from Manhattan every morning; his meats are imported from Italy and he uses as much local produce as possible. He takes no shortcuts and and he makes everything his way.
Ledda's way works: take the chicken salad, which people rave about. When was the last time you heard someone rave about chicken salad? Ledda has elevated the most innocuous, frequently bland deli offering to unbelievable heights by roasting the chicken in fresh herbs so that when he mixes it with just a little mayo and celery, all the complex flavors you taste are from the meat.
"People ask me things like, 'why don't you put bacon or pancetta in your broccoli rabe?'" he says from behind his inviting counter, peppered with little 'No Cellphones Please' signs. "I say, 'because when I eat broccoli rabe I want to taste broccoli rabe.' I like the taste. Why would I cover it up? I keep it simple — good olive oil, garlic, salt, pepper — and cook it right."
That perfect broccoli rabe goes into one of Ledda's signature sandwiches — the "Grandpa." The sandwich isn't named for his grandfather, but rather a quaint attempt at marketing ("Everyone wants a story with their food now," he says with a smile. "It's the type of thing my Grandpa would've eaten, but no, it's not like my grandmother snuck the recipe out of Italy hidden from Mussolini.") is crafted on a pillowy sub roll with perfectly breaded chicken cutlets, fresh mozzarella, toothsome broccoli rabe, roasted red peppers and balsamic.
The Italian Market's clientele is a melting pot of Hudson old and new. Its classic look and traditional offerings of meatballs, pasta, veggies and sandwiches welcome local old timers and hospital and county workers. The impeccable quality and execution have pulled many a weekender off of restaurant-rich Warren Street to the less polished end of town. The Market is also a shop, supplying the area with a small but well-curated supply of classic pastas, European sweets, dry goods, sauces, oils, pickled goods and Italian sodas.
Ledda might seem a little gruff at first meeting, or if he's been bristled by a rude customer, but what makes his place so outstanding is that he loves spending time with the people who come into his store, recreating the ambience of the community deli that doesn't really exist anymore. His eagerness to please is exemplified by the catering menu because, while there is a menu, if you give him the appropriate amount of advance notice, he'll cook you anything you want — even if he's never made it before.
"That might scare some people, but if you know me you'll trust I can make anything," he says. "If I haven't cooked it before, I'll call my mother."

The New York Times best-selling author of On Dublin Street is back with the first in a sexy new romance series set in a small town on the Delaware coastline.
Welcome to Hartwell, a quiet seaside escape where uncovering old secrets could lead one woman to discover the meaning of a love that lasts....
While Dr. Jessica Huntington engages with the inmates at the women's correctional facility where she works, she's always careful to avoid emotional attachments in her personal life. Loss and betrayal taught her that lesson long ago. But when she comes across a set of old love letters in the prison's library and visits the picturesque town of Hartwell to deliver them to their intended recipient, she finds herself unable to resist the town's charm - and her attraction to the sexy owner of a local bar proves equally hard to deny.
Since his divorce from his unfaithful ex-wife, Cooper Lawson has focused on what really matters: his family and the boardwalk pub they've owned for generations. But the first time Jessica steps into his bar, Cooper is beyond tempted to risk his heart on her.
Yet as their attraction grows hotter and Jessica remains stubbornly closed off, he begins to realize it will take more than just passion to convince her there's only one real thing in life worth fighting for....

"Nice to hear from Samantha Young again"
Samantha wrote an easy to follow, very hopeful and positive book about forgiveness and love.
I love the way that Samantha Young builds her stories and layers on subplots. Her "background characters" are always my favorite and it was no different in this book.
I had a hard time with the ending. It's hard to write why without giving up the plot but I can say that I thought there was a big to-do about nothing.
That being said, it's a Samantha Young book, therefore it's very well written and extremely entertaining!
Tad and Angelica are dream narrators. I have not one criticism to give them, excellent choice for this book!
"An Intense Emotional Journey"
I am probably one of the ONLY people who has never read/listened to On Dublin Street, Samantha Young's most famous novel. But this first edition of the Hart's Boardwalk Series piqued my interest, and I'm so glad it did.
Jessica is a doctor at a women's prison, a career she seems to thrive in. At least, in her own mind. When her coworker reminds her that she never takes any time off, Jessica plans a vacation to a spot not too far away in Hartwell. She books three weeks in a seaside inn and prepares to restore her inner peace. The homey, small-town atmosphere in Hartwell takes her by surprise, making her wonder if she is, really, happy in her job, or in her life.
Cooper owns the local pub on the Boardwalk, and from the very first time they lay eyes on each other, the sparks start to smolder. Neither of them is looking for anything long term--Cooper is still trying to get over finding his ex-wife in bed with his best friend. But fate has other plans.
I found this to be the whole package as far as contemporary romance goes. Great characterization, some mystery throughout, development of a relationship in a slow, believable manner, and some hot sex scenes. I totally enjoyed it, and will NOW be going on to listen to On Dublin Street.
As far as narration: I enjoyed the story being told by two narrators, male and female. It was interesting how Jessica's chapters were told in the first person, where Cooper's were told in third. Threw me a little at first, but the author kept us invested more in the heroine than the hero that way. My only criticism is that Angelica Lee, at least, in the mastering of this audio, had a slight lisp. I found that distracting and it took a while for me to ignore it.
I highly recommend this story to any true fan of full-length, contemporary romance.
"great book."
female narration was spot on but male voice sounded very different from the description of the rugged bartender he was narrating for. great story line! can't wait until the next book comes out. Already preordered!
"New Series, New TOV"
Before you read this book, accept the fact that it is not the Dublin series.
It seems like Samantha Young has pulled in some similar themes but a new interesting set of characters. I'm definitely interested to see where she takes this series.
Worth the credit
"Good but not nearly as good as On Dublin Street"
I liked the story but it's not nearly as good as the Dublin street series. Her Scottish characters sound so exotic and interesting and this one felt a bit boring. I actually increased the speed just to get it over with. Parts of the story just didn't feel real to me. Maybe it's the fact that the characters were older and professional and I felt as they should be on a different stage in their life as portrayed in this story.
The narrators were good and made the dual POV work. In summary this story is good but not great. Nevertheless I will get the next book on the series because Bailey and Tremaine sound like they will be better than this original couple.
"Cringe worthy"
The dialogue, the plot, the cliches...
I'm kind of a sucker for new adult and romance novels but this was painful. One-dimensional characters that seemed to come from the imagination of someone in middle school...and zero chemistry between the lead characters. I found myself wondering if the narrators were cringing as they read the book.
"Real waste of a book point"
I have read several books by Samantha young but this was So poorly written it must have been written by a ghost writer.
"best Samantha young yet!"
This Samantha Young book is by far her best yet! Had me laughing out loud and gripping the seat at the emotional parts. Her characters are her typical beautiful people but for some reason it works in this story!
"Breath taking journey,"
The was a great story, I love Angelica she has such a great story telling skill. My first listen to her was HERO don't remember the Arthur but she can tell a story and tell it so well. I didn't expect the turmoil poor Jessica has lived with and tried to keep hidden. Samantha did really good on this journey.

'At last!' Front pages celebrate Cubs win
On Oct. 15, 1908, the Chicago Tribune used an editorial cartoon on the front page of the newspaper the morning after the Chicago Cubs beat the Detroit Tigers in the fifth game of the World Series. In it, a bear with an armful of pennants said, simply, "Good morning."

On Thursday, 108 years later, the Tribune had another two words for the front page:
Here's a collection of fronts via Newseum from Chicago and beyond marking the game seven Cubs' win against the Cleveland Indians and a few marking the Indians' loss. (The Boston Herald's front is particularly fun.)

I was here the nights of August 29 and August 30, 2010. We were assured that it was a furnished apartment in working condition. There were 1000's of bugs, including crawling ones inside the bed. When you lay down on the bed, you can feel the matress spring pressing into your spine.There were geckos in the room as well as their fecal droppings squashed on the walls, running down the walls, and on the floors. The furniture was torn, and the oven did not work at all. It was impossible to cook there, unless you used only the microwave. The problem was that there were not microwave safe pans. Hurricane Earl came at night and flooded the unit. There was nothing to mop all the water up, so we waded through. The owner could have cared less. It was $68 per night, but we were better off staying at a full service hotel on the island. It has a remote location, and it is too dangerous to flag a taxi on the main road. The crime rate is sky high, and you can't safely leave the unit after dark without a car. There is not a restaurant or a bar there as advertised on the website.

(WTNH)–The UConn women have taken home yet another NCAA championship, their fourth straight and 11th in 22 years. It just keeps getting more and more remarkable what Geno's girls have been able to accomplish.
This group of Huskies is certainly legendary–and their holding captive of the NCAA Tournament over the last four years will go down in history as one of the most impressive accomplishments in sports.
But there is some good news for people like Dan Shaughnessy: the Huskies should come back down to Earth next season. Gone are the history-making trio of Breanna Stewart, Moriah Jefferson and Morgan Tuck, and replacing them won't be easy. UConn does have a good nucleus returning–Kia Nurse, Katie Lou Samuelson, Napheesa Collier and Gabby Williams–but whether or not that group is ready to win titles on its own remains to be seen.
Geno Auriemma has just three players in his 2016 recruiting class, and only one All-American. But as he's explained many times before, it's not the recruiting rankings and national accolades that matter.
Crystal Dangerfield
5-6, Guard
Murfreesboro, TN
ESPN Class Rank: #3
GENO'S TAKE: "Crystal is one of those unique little guards, like Moriah Jefferson, where she is strong enough and quick enough that she can get things done that a lot of players can't. She gets to spots on the floor, on offense and defense, which a lot of kids can't. I think with Moriah graduating, Crystal is going to come in and have a chance to have an impact right away."– via TheUConnBlog
Kyla Irwin
6-2, Forward
Lemont, PA
ESPN Class Rank: #15 at her position
GENO'S TAKE: "Kyla is the kind of kid that we have taken great pride in getting over the last 30 years. She is a hard-working, high-energy kid and has skills that allow her to play more than one position. She knows how to play the game. She is exactly the kind of kid that we have looked for at UConn and the fact that she has some connections to Connecticut is an added bonus. We are really excited about having her and her family as part of our program."–via TheUConnBlog
Molly Bent
5-8, Guard
Centerville, MA
ESPN Class Rank: #25 at her position
Bent was offered by UConn after Huskies assistant Marisa Moseley showed up early to an AAU tournament–one featuring Irwin–and was impressed by her. She didn't have "the prestigious national awards, or a five-star recruiting ranking," but according to ESPNW's Harold Gutman, UConn coaches didn't care about that.
"When I talked to them they said the rankings don't matter to them," Bent told ESPNW. "It's whoever can come in and contribute and play hard. They said that I knew the game. I might not be as athletic or as tall as some of the people that are ranked or have most of the attention on them, but they liked that I knew how to play."
GENO'S TAKE: "Molly loves the game as much as anyone I've seen in the last 30 years. And I think the people here are going to really enjoy watching her play."

I'm feeling really positive today so I will simply say I hope their babies are healthy and happy.
What is her daughter's name again? Blue Ivy? So, what do y'all think the new ones will be called? Green Pea and Yellow Submarine?

***** celeb
I just read the yahoo story about this...and mistakenly read the comments. Why do I ever look at comments on yahoo? I can't believe all the hate-filled people out there -- it's not just the typical, gossipy stuff. It is truly hate speak about this woman, saying she's a horrible racist, too fat to carry babies, disgusting, etc. Wow. We can get pretty snarky on here, but generally, it's not vile comments.
I can't wait to see what gene combos happen next with these two. Blue Ivy really does seem like a fun, spunky girl.
It's my understanding that it's a common practice to implant more than one embryo during one IVF cycle as insurance. I know one woman who had two embryos implanted and both survived so she ended up with twins while a friend had two embryos implanted with only one surviving.
Can we please discuss that Instagram pic? So much wtf-rey, I don't even know where to begin. Why is she wearing her underwear? Why is it mismatched? Wtf is with the flowers and fake sky and that green veil? I need to know what she was thinking
Oh and congrats on the "twins."
She's in front of a funeral spray in mismatched underwear wearing mosquito netting.
OK -- here's my take on the photo. I think she has on light blue and maroon undies (notice the pink bow) -- she's having a boy and a girl. The veil is her unveiling the secret of her being pregnant. The flowers are showing us how earthy and womanly she is. She is blossoming and ripe with the future of our planet. Hee hee.
I guarantee some photographer or art director came up with a bunch of artsy ideas to make this a really. important. photo. Maybe Queen B just thought she'd look pretty like this.
It seems she really is pregnant this time. Congrats.
Cue reconciliation for Kanye and Cim?
I have some famous friends and I have mostly not famous friends.
She doesn't look pregnant. She looks like she ate a big dinner.
This will probably inspire Kanye and Kim to have triplets immediately, if not before.
What are you looking at, sugar-tits? - Mel Gibson
All the same I wish them well. I just hope the rumors aren't true and this is a band-aid baby. I can't imagine if they were truly miserable with each other they wouldn't embark on having another baby let alone twins.
I'm Wisher, new & improved version.
Kim K, you're not shit. All you could manage was two singletons.
Can someone post the photo please? I haven't been on my laptop for many days and I cannot post photos from my phone.

I sometimes fantasize about joining the army, mainly because I would love to know if I can actually make it through boot camp. My bet is…absolutely not. I can barely take my pooch on a hike without bitching about the heat or getting a cramp in my leg. (I'm pathetic) But, I do love me some camo! Which is why this cardigan from Willow & Clay is one of my new favorites. (Ah, how easily I move from boot camp to military fashion?) To all the brave soldiers out there, protecting our great nation, I apologize for my weakness and I salute you. Thank you for your service and thank you for your camo.

Since protesters first took to the streets of Tunisia in December 2010, the Middle East and North Africa region has never been the same.
More than two and half years later, people in many regional countries continue to push for meaningful change and better opportunities for themselves and their fellow citizens.
Both inside and outside the region, a sense of hopelessness has gripped some who see little headway being made by these efforts. Indeed, in countries, such as Egypt, Libya, and Yemen, much work still needs to be done to realize the revolutions' goals.
But, a new book on the Arab Spring tells a more hopeful story about the region's progress since the revolutions' early days. "The Future of the Arab Spring: Civic Entrepreneurship in Politics, Art, and Technology Startups" highlights the grassroots movements, organizations, initiatives, and startups, which have kept the revolutions' spirit alive and represent an important, though largely unappreciated aspect, of the Arab uprisings.
"The Future of the Arab Spring" tells the story of these entities, ranging from protest movements in Egypt to art collectives in Yemen. As this book argues, the time has come to pay attention to these and other examples of civic entrepreneurship and to understand the contributions they are making to the Arab Spring.
Through these entities, activists, entrepreneurs, artists, musicians, and filmmakers are applying their talents to the task of rebuilding their countries' political, economic, social, and cultural fabric, in both direct and indirect ways. These instances of civic entrepreneurship are a critical ingredient for holding regional governments accountable and ensuring that revolutionary promises take root in Arab Spring societies.
The following videos and photos are intended to supplement the discussion in this book, and give readers a visual peek into a small selection of the many forms of civic entrepreneurism that are cropping up across the Middle East and North Africa region, thanks to the Arab Spring.
Public Squares:
Image from Yemen's Change Square, March 1, 2011. Change Square was the heartbeat of the country's revolution, until mid-2013 when the protest camp was abandoned.
Image from Bahrain's Pearl Roundabout, February 19, 2011. Because of the Roundabout's symbolic importance to the revolution, the Bahraini government destroyed the area in mid-March 2011.
Political & Social Movements:
Video from Yemen's Life March, December 27, 2011, in Sana'a. The first of Yemen's two Life Marches, which started in the city of Taiz and ended in the capital of Sana'a, was organized in opposition to the immunity deal given to Ali Abdullah Saleh in return for his commitment to step down as president.
Strengthening Civil Society, Supporting the Youth:
Shabab Libya is an organization working to increase youth participation in Libya's public sphere. Among its various projects is the Libyan Youth Voices platform, which is a project that amplifies the voices of young people in the country. The following video is a Google Hangout sponsored by the platform and moderated by Shabab Libya co-founder Ayat Mneina, featuring young Libyans discussing the country's recently passed political isolation law.
Resonate! Yemen works to develop strategies for sustaining and institutionalizing emerging youth groups in Yemen. The image below captures one of the groups events in January 2013, centered on building the capacity of youth groups from Yemen's Change square.
Women's Issues:
The video below is a public service announcement from the Egyptian group, Operation Anti-Sexual Harassment. The video captures the brutality and violence of a group sexual assault as it unfolds in Tahrir Square and calls upon Egyptians to stand up against these acts of violence. As the narrator reminds and urges her audience,
We will not be silenced
We will not be broken
We will not shy away
There are mob sexual assaults in Tahrir Square
Come and stand against the rapists because we do not plan to hide in our homes
This is our square, this is our revolution, and we will fight this battle to the last breath
Volunteerism/Public Service:
The following images are from Afreecan, a Tunisian organization that aims to encourage volunteerism in the country.
Project to Educate (pictured below) is dedicated to improving educational opportunities for Tunisian children. The project works to rehabilitate decaying schools, ensure that children are not forced to drop out of school to financially support their families, and provide students with the necessary school supplies, among other activities.
Operation Stop Thirst (pictured below) supplied 300 familiar in 2 regions of Tunisia with water. People in these parts of the country have particularly high rates of Hepatitis A because until recently they did not have access to clean drinking water.
Volunteer Libya works to create "prosperity and wealth" for Libya through public service. Among its various projects, the organization has spearheaded an initiative to revitalize Tripoli's crumbling Old City. The following flyer was from an event held at the end of Ramadan to teach people about how eid was celebrated in the past in the Old City.
Creative Resistance in Syria:
The following image from the Rebel Painter of Houran, an anonymous cartoonist inside Syria, depicts President Bashar al-Assad and Foreign Minister Walid al-Moallem. To see more of this cartoonist's work, visit his Facebook page.
The liberated Syrian village of Kafr Nabl has received international recognition for the funny, sarcastic, and often poignant posters about the conflict, including the image below. To see more creations from village residents, visit the Kafr Nabl Facebook page.
Ali Ferzat is one of Syria's most well-known cartoonists. Ferzat spoke out against the Assad regime early on in the conflict and, in August 2011, was attacked by government thugs, who left him for dead on the side of the road. Shortly before his attack, Ferzat created the cartoon below while Libyan leader Muammar Ghaddafi was on the run from opposition forces in his country. At the time, Ferzat believed Assad would soon face a similar fate. Ultimately, this cartoon caused the most problems for Ferzat and may have led to his attack.
Street Graffiti:
Egyptian graffiti artist, Ganzeer, was active in the country's graffiti movement, even before the revolution began. The photo below captures one of Ganzeer's stencils, held by a man in Tahrir Square during the eighteen day upriring from January to February 2011.
The Egyptian graffiti scene has flourished since the start of the revolution. The following video, produced for MOCATV by Soraya Morayef, an expert on the Egyptian graffiti scene, provides a nice overview of the state of graffiti in the country.
Soraya Morayef also produced this video for MOCATV on the Libyan graffiti movement. She described the film as follows:
The Libyan video was shot by Osama AlFitory, who heard about a graffiti project organised by the Faculty of Fine Arts in Tripoli. The aim was to create a 2km long mural that would enter the Guinness Book of Records, but more importantly, the mural would be made on a wall facing Muammar Gaddafi's compound, now a pile of rubble after Nato missile attacks. It was a great opportunity to capture artists and students participating in something that would have been completely impossible under Gaddafi's tyrannical rule.
Colors of Life is an artist collective based in Taiz, Yemen devoted to beautifying the city through street art. The black and white drawing pictured below contrasts with the colorful background in one Colors of Life mural.
Created by the anonymous film collective, Masasit Mati, "Top Goon: Diaries of a Life Dictator" pulls no punches when it comes to satirizing the Assad regime. The YouTube series, which uses finger puppets, began in November 2011 and has run for two seasons so far. Click the video below to watch the first episode.
Support Yemen is a grassroots collective that works on social justice campaigns in the country. Film is an important part of the group's work. The following video is part of the organization's Break the Silence campaign, which aimed to call attention to the peaceful protest movement against Ali Abdullah Saleh during the revolution's first year.
Mosireen is a non-partisan,independent film collective that has been using video to raise awareness, educate, and enlighten Egyptians about political and social issues since the start of the revolution.The Mosireen video on the violent crackdown against the Mohamed Mahmoud Street protests in November 2011, shown below, was particularly noteworthy.
"Rais Lebled," by Tunisan rapper El General, is considered the anthem of the Arab Spring revolutions
The Egyptian hip hop group, Arabian Knightz, has been performing since the mid-2000s. When the revolution began, the group immediately threw its support behind the protesters, penning the song "Not Your Prisoner" early in the eighteen-day uprising.
Egyptian musician, Ramy Essam, wrote "Irhal" or "Leave", during the country's eighteen-day uprising. Directed at President Hosni Mubarak, the song was a compilation of the various chants popularized during the protests.
Founded in 2008, Guys Underground is a Libyan rock band that went from the underground Benghazi music scene to the middle of the country's revolution almost overnight. The group's song, "Revolution," was dedicated to the effort to topple Muammar Ghaddafi.
Founded in November 2011, Mini Mobile Concert is a traveling music collaborative that holds small musical concerts on the streets of Alexandria, Egypt. The video below is from Mini Mobile Concert's 23rd event in the city and features violinist, Ayman Asfour.
Founded by Tunisian art collective Art Solutions, Danseurs Cityoens is a group that brings dance to the country's streets. As captured in the video below, the group's street performances sometimes include music and careful choreography, inspiring passersby to join in the dancing.
Saphon Energy is a Tunisian startups that is working to revolutionize the sustainable energy industry through an innovative new wind turbine developed by company co-founder Anis Aouini, known as the "saphonian" (pictured below).
SouriaLi is a web-based Syrian radio station launched in October 2012 to help heal Syrian society and lay the building blocks for a new country. The station broadcasts a number of different shows, including "Days of Pearl" (Ayam LouLou) a program that discusses culture, tradition, politics, and stories from different eras in Syria's past. The following episode, hosted by the station's co-founder, Honey Al Sayed, looks at how Syrians have overcome crisis throughout the country's history
Qabila Media Productions is an Egyptian startup that creates animated video content to bridge the gap between education and entertainment with a particular focus on topics such as political science, history, economics, and culture. To date, the group's work has included creating a citizen's guide to politics (included below) among other civically oriented video productions.

text: Hi, I'm new to online sites like this. My buddy told me about this site and glad he did. I have been browsing around for a few hours and was a little confused at first about how everything works but I think I am understanding it better now. Seems like a great way to buy, sell, trade and meet people that like to do the same stuff. I bought my first handgun about 6 months ago when I moved to auburn. I bought a taurus pt709 9mm. I bought it without doing any research on it but I knew I want a small 9mm. I have never had any problems what so ever with it and I really like it. I have read allot of blogs and there have been some problems with taurus but most said they sent it back to taurus and they fixed it. One thing I like about taurus. The reason I joined this sight was to try and trade it and some money for a glock. I have explored the site and it seems like there are allot of my kind of people on this site. To bad summer is over it would have been fun to go camp and meet some new people with the same interests. I didn't realize how addicting guns and gun parts are. I'm always trying to find up grades for my gun but unfortunately it's tough because there isn't to many aftermarket parts for my gun. That hasn't stopped me from trying though, I have tons of stuff for it holsters, a chamber lazer for sighting your gun, cleaning kits, lock box, I always keep 100rounds practice ammo and 20 hollows. Anyways I'm glad to be apart of the group and hope I get a chance to chat with some new people and get new ideas about guns in general. I even turned my girlfriend into a gun lover, she didn't like them until she shot mine now she wants one but can't make up her mind but at least it's one more vote for us. The new gun laws there trying to pass are strange to me but whatever I don't talk politics and I think if felons or criminals want guns they will still be able to get them and that's just the truth. I goto champion arms in kent to shoot and I like but it was so hot in there during the summer. I'm very new to allot of this and hope to find someone willing to trade and also find people to maybe meet at the range to go shooting. I'm 31 and had back surgery a few months ago so I'm still recovering but I can go shooting, can't hike though which sucks because it's fun to hike and shoot. If anyone has a glock and would do a trade for my gun + money please get a hold of me. I look forward to getting info of people and possibly meeting local shooters to meet at the range. Thanks for reading and send me a PM if anyone wants to go pop off some rounds at the range. I live in auburn so kent or federal way are close so I could meet at either one. I'm still trying to figure out how to post my gun for trade but can't figure it out. If someone could help that would be great otherwise I'm sure I'll figure it out. I started saving money for a new gun but it's tough because I'm not working so a trade would help me out allot.

After a bumpy trip in the back of the hash hauler we arrived at the gates of the Asian University, the guards had been doubled and gates locked for today's run as this small patch of grass has been used in the past as an A site and, these university folk have good memory's.
This week's hare's MENTAL DISORDER, MENSTRUAL DISORDER, BECAUSE IT WAS LIMP & I STRANGLE MY PENIS gave their speech and sent us on our way.
It was a nice trail with plenty of place to stretch your legs on this hot afternoon.
After a chat, snacks and the first few beers SCAR WITH TWO T'S called the circle and put the hares on ice to get a first review of today's run which came back as good run.
Next SIR BOTTOMLESS PIT take the circle for the raffle with the winners being DOESN'T TOUCH THE SIDES, GANGREEN, NO MORE CUM, FREE WILLY, SQUEEZE MY TUBE, CABBAGE QUEEN, LONE WOLF & WANK-KING'S WANKER getting a double prize.
EMPEROR AIRHEAD takes the circle to ice the hares for a real opinion of today's run, Good run was called again by all the circle as the beer was going down well at this stage.
Next to be iced was WANKING aka The Dalai Lama who had forgotten that it was his birthday but, after so many of them it's not surprising, and a birthday cake was presented to him with 1000 candles.
The next hasher on ice was NO MORE CUM with the RA describing him as being cheaper than meme (I was taking it not the hasher CHEAPER THAN MEME as he is back in his country of birth Germany at this time) but this in its self is still quite a claim, a bit like an oxymoron of "more than infinity" but, SHEIK MEME was not here to be offended by this which we are all happy about and so are our bar tabs. Anyway NO MORE CUM took out some girl out to the most expensive restaurant in Pattaya (I am having to make that last bit about her being a girl as I missed what was said but I'm giving him the benefit of the doubt that he has not fallen back into his old ways) (all those that have run the PH3 for many years will remember the shocking ice tails that we had to hear and, if you were there but have forgotten could you please pass on the name of you therapist to the rest of us) anyway this girl orders the biggest steak in the joint but after NO MORE CUM offers her his steak & two veg to her for desert she decides that she is a vegetarian.
BECAUSE IT WAS LIMP gets her name changed to ROCK 'N' ROLL PROSTITUTE whist sat on I STRANGLED MY PENIS's lap.
Next the GM hand the circle over to WANK-KING'S WANKER for some stats as GANGREEN is announced as the new GM for the Jungle and has done his 150th PH3 run, well done GANGREEN.
SIR REALLY SADISTIC BASTARD is in the circle for his 71st birthday but no cake for him due to the candle fire risk at the Uni's request unless we had our own fire marshal at hand.
The leavers that were in for a down down where WANKING, SHORT TIME & PAPRIKA SMILEY and the return of a visitor X-RAY after 27 years, we will wait to hear his tall story next week.
SCAR WITH TWO T'S take the circle again to ice MENTAL DISORDER after he found a dead body on the beach during a recent dogging session.
I STRANGLED MY PENIS was iced for renting a cheap motor bike with what he thought was a broken fuel gauge but turns out to be just No Fuel in the tank you fool, next time leave the thinking to ROCK 'N' ROLL PROSTITUTE.
CABBAGE PRINCESS took over from the hares handing out the down downs at some point trying to prove that she belongs at University.
The return of SIR CHICKEN FUCKER to the circle left us with tales of using the tree in the circle to catapult over the now locked university gates too getting lost at his own front door and missing his flight back to the UK, and then the old classic black box fuzzy wig story.
Next SIR CHICKEN FUCKER iced NO MORE CUM for being confused about what team to support at the next football world cup, Somalia, Germany or Wales, it was decided that he blended in with the Somalian crowd the best.
SIR DOG was iced for perving at a breakfast bar and being spotted by SIR CHICKEN FUCKER but this was nothing new.
Circle back to the GM who iced STUPID KRAUT KUNT to explain why he had such a happy ride to the A site on the back of the truck for which ROCK 'N' ROLL PROSTITUTE's bra was to blame.
Hare song was by SHORT TIME.
Hash hymn sung and On On to the TQ for beer and hot dogs.

Hubbard Glacier Travel Blog› entry 2 of 3 › view all entries
The Hubbard Glacier was absolutely amazing. I figured glaciers are completely white, but apparently I was wrong. They appear blue because of how dense the water concentration is or something like that. You can see in the photos. Anyway, we got up very early because we were going to be arriving at the glacier by 10 am. We got up and out for 9 am because we figured all the good spots on the ship would be taken. We were wrong. Here's the trick! Everyone always goes to the front of the boat because they get the first look as the ship approaches the glacier; however, the best spot is actually on one of the sides (usually the left side I don't know the nautical name) because the boat is going to turn sideways and be parallel to the glacier.
Back to the glacier....it was massive! I can't even tell you how big this thing was, and there was another glacier coming down a mountain to the left of it and the two met in the ocean. There are thousands of icebergs floating in the ocean for several miles back. Each ship stops and has about 30 or 40 minutes parked alongside the glacier. This is a great opportunity for pictures and just to see how beautiful it is.
My pictures are only small sections of Hubbard Glacier. I actually did one of those scenery shots, where you take a bunch of pictures and then put them back together like a puzzle. It's the only way to see how massive it really is. Also, I don't know why the map shows us traveling so far. It's in Alaska, I'm not too sure why the map is screwed up. If you have any ideas, let me know. :)

I've been chugging away on my new sweater design. Lots and lots of smocking. As I kept working, the design reminded me a bit of scales. Not icky, fishy scales (sorry fishes, I don't actually think you are icky at all), but more like the feminine, alluring scales like you would find on a mermaid, you know, if mermaids were an actual thing. And because I'm grew up as young child of the early 90's, there's one Disney-inspired mermaid that is very near and dear to my heart. So I think I will call this sweater Ariel and just keep the fairy tale theme that started with my Rapunzel cardigan going.
(When I was growing up I had a pool in my yard. And I have very vivid memories of pretending to be Ariel, the Little Mermaid, and being captured and hoping to be rescued – the whole bit. I also had an Ariel doll who's hair met its match swimming in that pool constantly. So there's a
not so tiny part of me that is quite fond of wearing an Ariel-inspired sweater around the halls and pretending to be a mermaid again, secretly. Shh. Don't tell.)
I've finished the smocking of the body of the sweater, which ends at the armhole. Now I've just got to finish up the back and front and get started on the sleeves. I am going to try seamless set-in sleeves worked from the armhole down. I have convinced myself that grading it will be easier than a sleeve cap, but I haven't actually done any math yet, so that idea may quickly go out the window.
I have also finished Shadow Scale. I've moved on to Prince of Thorns, which I picked up at the used book store. I'm not sure on it right now. I iffy on the writing style and I'm also not entirely sure what is going on. Maybe that is the way it is meant to be… I don't know. I'll give it a little more time before I really formulate my opinion.
Linking up with KCCO and yarn along.
(Guys, I totally thought today was Wednesday, when I do my usual link ups. I didn't realize I put this up a day late until I was riding the bus home. I blame the Canadian long weekend.)

How to remove the 23-225
A quick learner from Arizona says:
July 28, 2016
Hoe does one remove the roller latches from bottom of heavy mirrored sliding door?
Paul from SWISCO responded:
August 2, 2016
First, you will need to remove the door from the frame and place it on a stable surface. Once that's out, you will need to remove the screw holding the roller to the frame. All that's holding it in at that point are the hooks on the side. You will have to firmly but gently work the roller out until the hooks are free. I recommend using a pair of needle nose pliers to get a better grip as you do this.
A professional from CA says:
August 2, 2016
I think he means how to pull the roller out of the track. It usually just takes a firm lifting motion. I take weight off the door with one hand and put my finger in the hole and yank up gently but firmly. The tabs are springy.

Decent product for the price
By High School Art Teacher
from San Jose, CA
Comments about MultiMaster Multiplex Display/Exhibit System:
We bought the panels last year for our art show, the person who ordered didnt realize we need one set of legs for every panel, so we had to buy the new ones this year. Panels are solid in stance, but hanging works from them is a little difficult because they are so thin, a 1.5 inch nail goes right through the other side.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Will your 23-241 work for me?
A quick learner from Brick, NJ says:
May 20, 2013
I need a 6' long piece of track. The overall size is 3-5/8" and the inside from track to track measures 1-5/8. Will I be able to use your #23-241 which is smaller in overall width.
Tom from SWISCO responded:
May 20, 2013
Thanks for posting! The overall width doesn't matter too much, to be honest. As long as the inside dimensions match, and as long as the rollers have convex wheels, I think our 23-241 should work.

Directly Governs Individual Demographic Performance
Indirectly Effects Population Dynamics
Population Growth Implies Chance of Extinction
Here, Take Behavior = Social Organization
Population extinction process
Four general causes of extinction
1. Environmental stochasticity
2. Demographic stochasticity
3. Abiotic catastrophes
4. Lack genetic variation
Environmental stochasticity
Random, temporal variation: exogenous factor (s)
Individuals' experience same birth, death rates Temporal fluctuations, Between-generation scale
Good, Bad Years = Generations: food abundance
Small population & bad year
Demographic stochasticity
Random variation among individuals,
Within-generation scale
Number offspring, survival
Individuals' birth and death rates independent,
hence can differ
Important small populations: chance extinction
Demographic stochasticity
Fix time; Extinction Pr
declines with Initial
population ize
Fix Pop size; Extinction Pr
increases with time
MTE = (Extinction Pr)-1
Abiotic (Physical) Catastrophes
Large, sudden density reduction
Environmental, anthropogenic
Climate change
Time scale relative to generation time
Lack variation, population fails to adapt
Rarest, but [again] global climate change

1. Wolves: social behavior - group, pack
1 litter/year, dominant female
amplify demographic stochasticity
2. Prey availability: fluctuate, source of
environmental stochasticity
Gray wolf (Canis lupus)
Isle Royale, MI; island in Lake Superior
National Park, > 500 mi2
Wolves feed on moose
Abundance of old moose (> 9 yrs) key
Objective: Simulate wolf population dynamics
Predict mean time to extinction (MTE)
1. Age-dependent mortality in wolves
1/3 pups die first year
No wolves older than 11 yrs
2. Random litter size in wolves, Mean = 1
3. Wolf packs:
Some restructuring between years
When prey abundance falls,
smallest pack disperses, mortality cost
Survivors join another pack
Number packs proportional to no. old-moose
Mean Time to Extinction, Wolf Population
Weak dependence, initial population size
Standard result not observed
Strong effect, initial number of packs
Reproductive unit is pack
Number packs, not population size critical
extinction process
Social organization, with dominance-based breeding, amplifies effects of
demographic stochasticity on extinction
No. old moose constant = 305
Wolves: MTE = 155 yrs
No. old moose cycles, mean = 305
Wolves: MTE = 105 yrs

Some state legislators will use the success of local charter schools in a push to lift the cap of 100 charter schools statewide when the General Assembly convenes Wednesday.
One by one, a group of second-graders at Roger Bacon Academy's Charter Day School in Leland silently rise from their desks and march in a clockwise circle to navigate the classroom and politely approach their teacher. The circular march is part of a military style intended to instill discipline and just one example of how charter schools employ distinctive tactics to help students master their lessons.
Those tactics vary wildly.
Across the river in Wilmington, Cape Fear Center for Inquiry's sixth- through eighth-grade language arts students review the characters of Shakespeare's "Hamlet" by marching around their classroom to blues music and comparing Horatio or Ophelia to animals or vegetables.
Some state legislators will use the success of local charter schools in a push to lift the cap of 100 charter schools statewide when the General Assembly convenes Wednesday.
Charter schools are monitored by the state Board of Education but operate independently of the local school system and generally get less state money than that allotted to traditional public schools.
Legislators of both parties believe the measure will pass and quickly, said state Rep. Danny McComas, R-New Hanover. But he did not have any insight into what regulations would be placed in the legislation.
"I think it's something that will help education immensely in North Carolina," said Sen. Thom Goolsby, R-New Hanover. "It allows more choice to empower parents to make the best decisions for their children, depending on their needs."
But Rep. Susi Hamilton, D-New Hanover, said she will vote against the bill if fiscal research shows an economic strain on the state's public school system from lifting the cap.
If the cap is lifted, Hamilton said she wants to see a change to the current statute allowing a charter to sue the state if it attempts to shut down a charter school that is not performing.
Most counties in the state have just one charter school, if any. The counties with the most charters are near larger cities in Mecklenburg, Wake and Durham counties. New Hanover County has two charters – Cape Fear Center for Inquiry and the year-round school, Wilmington Preparatory Academy. Brunswick County has the Charter Day School. And Columbus County has the new Columbus Charter School.
Charter schools were designed to give parents a choice and to act as laboratories for testing new teaching ideas.
The first charter schools popped up in North Carolina in 1997, after a bill was passed in 1996 to allow 100 charter schools throughout the state. When a slot opens for a new charter school, the state sees an average of 15 to 30 applications.
More than 27,000 students are waiting to get into these schools statewide, and proponents point to high test scores, creative teaching methods and low overhead costs to the state.
"They receive 70 cents on the dollar that public schools receive and they don't get capital dollars from the state so they have to find their own buildings," Goolsby said.
Dissenters say the schools take money that could go to public districts. And because many charter schools don't provide transportation or school lunch, some worry that limits equal access and diversity at charters.
Overall, charter schools have not decreased the achievement gap between white and minority students, said Scott Imig, associate professor at the Watson School of Education at the University of North Carolina Wilmington.
But Imig said findings indicate that students from low-income households benefit from North Carolina's charter schools in terms of reading performance.
And charter schools are gaining in popularity.
According to a Civitas Institute poll released on Jan. 4, more than 73 percent of 600 registered voters supported lifting the charter school cap. That's a 19-point increase from a poll taken at the same time last year. About 22 percent of voters said they oppose the idea, and 4 percent were undecided.
Nationally, U.S. Department of Education numbers show the number of students enrolled at charter schools tripling, from 340,000 to 1.3 million, between 1999 and 2008.
While movies such as "Waiting for Superman" paint a somewhat rosy portrait of charter school education, student academic performance at charters is mixed across the country.
According to a 2009 Stanford University study, a recent comprehensive national look at charters, 17 percent of charter schools performed better than traditional public schools. But 37 percent of charter schools performed worse than their public school counterparts, and 46 percent of charter schools showed no difference.
The report showed North Carolina charter school students scoring much higher in reading and lower in math than their public school peers. African-American students scored much lower in math and had no difference in reading. The study also concluded that states with charter school caps had lower academic results.
By contrast, in New Hanover County, Cape Fear Center for Inquiry performed higher in both reading and math than New Hanover public schools last year, but Wilmington Preparatory Academy performed below the public schools in both categories. In Brunswick County, the Charter Day School outperformed the public schools in both reading and math and sends nearly half of its students to early college high schools.
While New Hanover County Schools Superintendent Tim Markley doesn't see charter schools as an academic threat, he said he envies their less-stringent regulation.
"If they lift the cap, I would wonder, as a school system, can I get that kind of flexibility, the types of instructional hours, schedules and more leeway in teacher certification," he said. The state requires 75 percent of teachers at elementary charters to be certified and 50 percent at the middle and high school levels.
Brunswick County Schools Superintendent Edward Pruden said charter schools can be a financial drain.
In Brunswick County, 563 students are funneled into charter schools, taking with them $4.2 million.
If a student transfers or is expelled from the school, Pruden said, the money does not follow the child, something some Democratic legislators want changed. And charter schools are not held to the same level of accountability as school districts.
"Only one-sixth of all charter schools outperform public schools in communities," Pruden said. "And a full one-third of charters nationwide have lower measurable scores than in community schools. They have not proven that they are the lab or panacea that they were predicted to be."
Imig said he is hesitant to say that charters are the answer, because charters have not proven that they can consistently do what they say they can do.
"There are both traditional and charter schools that are defying the odds and changing students' lives," Imig said. "We have to do a better job of learning from and replicating the practices in our state's best schools – both charter and traditional."

Hofs attracting interest
By Gerrit van Leeuwen
Last Updated: 01/01/70 1:00am
According to reports emanating from the Dutch press, Vitesse Arnhem midfielder Nicky Hofs is attracting interest from a host of other clubs.
The 21-year-old enjoyed the most consistent campaign of his career last season and with just a year left on his current deal, there has been reports that he could be ready to leave the Gelredome.
FC Twente, Udinese and Barnsley are all reportedly ready to swoop for the talented young midfielder, who netted several important goals last season.
However, Vitesse are loath to lose one their most consistent performers and are ready to make the player see out the remainder of his contract.
