One of the things that got me to abandon my PC-making ways and switch to an iMac was Apple's iconic aesthetics. The clean, condensed form of Apple's all-in-one desktop made for a much less cluttered office than my tower/monitor/speakers/USB keyboard and mouse did. While my desk is still occasionally marred by an iPhone/iPad sync cable (even with iCloud and wifi sync it can be easier to handle large transfers via direct link) it's far less cluttered than it was.
For those of you that are still losing the battle with the electrical spaghetti dangling from your collective devices Neatorama has a novel way of handling your problem. The Mousetail Cordwrap offers a one-tail-fits-all resizable, reusable cable organizer. The little mice have flexible appendages that can wrap up loose wiring, allowing you to keep your work area more organized. While it may not match the aesthetic of Apple's product line, it's arguably the cutest solution to cord clutter out there. The Mousetail Cordwrap comes in packs of two for a very reasonable $5.95 at one of my favorite oddity retailers, the NeatoShop.

Which is why when women's basketball coach Michele Cherry told Jeter she was only a few games away from reaching 1,000 career points and 500 rebounds as a junior, Jeter reacted as if you'd told her it might rain tonight.
"She was like, 'Oh, OK, whatever,' " Cherry said. "Later on, she thought, 'Well, I guess that was kind of a big deal.' But she doesn't even worry about that kind of stuff.
"She's just really, really determined and wants to win. She's extremely competitive. It's about winning. She [couldn't] care less how we get there; she just wants to win."
But the 5-10 Jeter, an Elmont Memorial High School product, has reached those milestones for the Seawolves (9-19, 7-9 America East). She is the sixth woman at Stony Brook to amass 1,000 points and 500 rebounds.
On Feb. 17, while recording 22 points in a 69-59 loss to Boston University, she scored her 1,000th point on a layup with 6:12 left in the game. Jeter became the 14th woman in school history to reach the plateau and only the sixth to do it in her third year.
She had 19 points and 15 rebounds, the 14th of which gave her 500, in a 59-52 overtime loss to Albany on Feb. 10.
Jeter - a powerful inside player who was named to the America East all-rookie team as a freshman and to the all-conference third team as a sophomore - said she didn't realize it when she reached those milestones, and that it took her a while to celebrate the achievement after the games ended.
"I pretty much put that to the back burner," she said. "I wasn't really excited at that moment. But I was a little excited after I got over the loss."
It's that commitment to team over self that has allowed Jeter - who finished the regular season with averages of 14.2 points and 7.4 rebounds per game after recording 22 points and eight rebounds in yesterday's 59-48 win over UMBC - to excel during a sub-.500 season. That devotion to the game was something Cherry said she noticed as soon as she got her first look at Jeter.
"She's a hard worker; that's the first thing," said Cherry, whose team will compete in the conference tournament this week. "And a kid that works as hard as she does, a kid that's as passionate and competitive as she is, you could see she was in for a good career. You knew that if she stayed relatively healthy, you could kind of sense that she would be a special player."
Jeter's health has held up, and so has the consistency. And she has stayed grounded and relatively unaffected while she approached the career milestones.
"I just tried to keep it off my mind," she said in typical low-key fashion. "In any game, scoring is pressure, so I didn't let the 1,000 points affect me. I pretty much just listen to my music to get into my own mind-set and world to get ready for games and block everything else out."
Jeter said the dual accomplishments certainly are nice, but they weren't benchmarks she set for herself before beginning her college career.
"I didn't set that as one of my goals,'' she said. "It just happened that way."

4 Profitable HR Practices for Surgery Centers
A stabilized workforce is an important yet often overlooked component of a thriving and profitable surgery center, says Tom Jacobs, president and CEO of MedHQ, a medical human resources, accounting and credentialing company based in Westchester, Ill.
"Surgery centers operate well if they have great doctors, a good revenue cycle management function to collect what you bill, a really good set of clinical practices and engaged personnel," says Mr. Jacobs. "If you can handle all four of those things and do them well, you're going to be successful."
It is also important to equip an organization with the ability to handle change effectively. "Change brings conflict, and conflict can be disruptive," he says. "Your HR service needs to understand that and know how to deal with it."
Mr. Jacobs discusses five key surgery center HR practices that will contribute to an organized, fluid and ultimately profitable organization.
1. Develop a strong peer-based hiring process. New employees should be hired based on core values as well as professional qualifications, Mr. Jacobs says. The most effective way to accomplish this is to establish a peer-based interviewing process, in which the surgery center trains current employees to interview and evaluate prospective staff members.
Employees chosen for peer-based interviewing should possess values important to the surgery center because they will be able to identify those same values in prospective employees, Mr. Jacobs says. The peer-based review system is particularly important if the center is deciding between several professionally qualified candidates. Employees may sense that a candidate is particularly caring and help to narrow down the selection.
To facilitate the peer review process, employees should be given a written interview guide that consists of pre-written questions that concentrate on professional experience. "Have the candidate talk about what they've done in the past," says Mr. Jacobs. "If you're interviewing for a receptionist, you want that person to be friendly, have a smile on their face and readily greet people when they come in. So, in a question, you may ask them to about a time when they've been in a customer service role, having them elaborate on how they approached customers and made them feel welcome."
Asking prospective employees to speak about real experience and past performance is the best predictor of future results, Mr. Jacobs says. Particularly in the peer-based interview process, it will help current employees determine if the candidate demonstrates a desired skill or value.
2. Consult a human resources mentor for mediation of internal conflicts. There are many professional issues that surgery center administrators may encounter, including discipline issues, poor attendance, tardiness and attitude. An effective HR service can mentor or couch front-line managers and supervisors during changes and conflicts within the surgery center, Mr. Jacobs says.
If a surgery center uses an outsourced HR service, the administrator should consult a human resources representative remotely. "It really helps for a supervisor to have an HR professional who is just a phone call or Skype conference [call] away," says Mr. Jacobs. "This person has seen hundreds of similar situations, and they can give practical advice on how to approach the conflict. The administrator, on the other hand, may only encounter the conflict several times per year and have less experience to draw on."
An HR professional may also visit the center in person for a discipline conference, which serves as a step between intermediate disciplinary action and final termination. He or she can serve as a third-party, independent arbitrator between the employee and supervisor, creating an environment where both voices can be heard. "It involves confronting the employee with a respectful but direct conversation," says Mr. Jacobs. "An HR professional has done this many times and can really help that supervisor cut to the chase."
For example, an employee with a track record of poor attendance and tardiness may now be suffering from an illness or personal issue, and the surgery center supervisor may want to ensure that the additional time off is accommodated correctly. "There are a lot of things to consider, including the American Disabilities Act and Medical Leave Act, and when you can refer the employee to a physician for evaluation," says Mr. Jacobs. Discipline conferences moderated by an HR representative will help administrators safely and tactfully address these issues.
3. Establish an employee wellness plan in the benefits program. Wellness plans promote behavior that will help employees become or stay healthy. "Wellness plans have been effective in avoiding upward spiraling healthcare costs for companies," says Mr. Jacobs. "They put the decision-making into the hands of the employee."
One basic component of a wellness plan is a health risk assessment, a widely-used and confidential screening tool to assess an employee's health status and target behaviors that minimize risk, such as frequent exercise. Employees who agree to take the HRA may receive discounts to their health insurance plans, such as a $10 per month reduction on their monthly premium or a deductible reduced to $1,000 from $1,500, says Mr. Jacobs.
An effective benefits plan should also consist of a consumer-directed health plan, which includes two components: a high-deductible plan funded partially by the employer that is intended to cover emergency medical care, and a health savings account to cover routine medical costs. These plans are beneficial because they give employees a choice about where and how they receive care. "Employees can practice due diligence in deciding where the best treatment is, and they will be incentivized to take better care of themselves," says Mr. Jacobs.
4. Draw on multiple data sources to put together a competitive compensation plan. Surgery centers can consult two key sources when determining appropriate employee compensation: salary and benefits estimates compiled by healthcare associations and a point factor analysis. These tools are excellent starting points for building a fair compensation plan, Mr. Jacobs says. "You need to strike a balance between paying people what they're worth, but not overpaying," he says. "If you're underpaying, you're threatened by turnover. If you're paying too much, the consequences are self-evident. You want to pay people fairly in accordance with the market."
While association surveys can also be useful in determining compensation, surgery centers should be hesitant to take them at face value without evaluating the specific responsibilities of the positions in their organizations, Mr. Jacobs says. If a position requires additional responsibilities that are not typical of the positions for which salary averages are given, for example, the center should consider the full scope of tasks when determining compensation.
The point factor analysis is a more systematic job evaluation tool that aids surgery centers in understanding the total scope of a given position. The areas of evaluation include educational requirements, years of experience required, supervisors needed, the complexity of the position, the physical effort required, the physical work environment involved and the impact of employee's decision-making or actions. "These are all areas that you can analyze the job based upon — each of these things can be assigned a point," says Mr. Jacobs. "This represents a fuller approach to the definition of a position, and there tends to be a lot of commonality among surgery centers."

Right! Here it is:
Alas, it doesn't seem readable online. However, there are links to where
it can be purchased. Abe Books is very good, and they have copies from
$10 USD from a UK bookseller:

Everyone east of the Stalin-Hitler Line (which Stalin and Hitler dubbed their
Peace Boundary and Churchill preferred to call the Curzon Line) was deemed a
Soviet citizen by Stalin for obvious self-serving reasons. It was consistent
with his imperialist fixation on retaining the Polish lands that he had invaded
and occupied as Hitler's ally in 1939 - an agenda that was approved later by
Churchill and Roosevelt for their own national/imperial ambitions even after
they knew the truth of Katyn and had seen Soviet perfidy in action at the Warsaw
Rising. Etc.

John, on reading the Jean Bingle dissertation, "Labour For Bread", I
thought you might be interested on what she wrote about the annexation.
"Early in 1943, the conflict between Sikorski and Stalin's governments
intensified. On January 15, all Polish relief organizations except
those in Kazakhstan were taken over by Soviet institutions. The
following day all those people living in the territory annexed by the
USSR in 1939 or those who formerly lived there and were now in some
other part of the Soviet Union were deemed Soviet citizens regardless
of ethnicity. This meant that even the ethnic Poles were again forced
to accept Soviet passports.313"

Re: No photos in the canteen
A telescopic lens into a "School" canteen filled with "Children" the riot police would have beaten you senseless and locked away on terrorism charges before you could say "Cheese".
I can just see the Daily Mail headline now "PEA-DOPHILE caught taking pictures of (potentially naked) children eating PEAS in a school canteen" the story would be accompanied by a picture of some peas and probably some naked children because Daily Mail readers can't understand or be outraged at something they can't see… even if it's not real.
Re: optional
I got a G in maths, I didn't even know grades could go that low… and two C's in science.
Obviously I'm just too dense to be doing my job! It's amazing I've escaped detection for the past 6 years but now that the jig is up I had best scarper before someone informs the authorities.
Re: It is all our own fault.
The main problem with mining is it's pretty dangerous.
Despite what people think human life is decidedly cheap… especially in China. Robots on the other hand are not cheap.
If a sophisticated mining robot gets crushed under tons of rock it's expensive and difficult to replace. A squishy human on the other hand is fairly cheap and easy to replace… especially because they self replicate given enough time.
It's not fair, but as long as there is cheap labour on hand the mining company isn't going to bother changing its methods.
What are they going to do if it reaches midnight and we aren't all turned to ash by flaming nuclear death? Of course the answer is go by seconds of course... right untill they run out of them and then they're buggered. It's all a bit arbitrary isn't it? Anyone can make random stuff up, infact i will. I hereby declare the cupcake count of terror. We are currently at 4 cupcakes to annihilation, three if I get peckish after lunch…More anti-cannon propaganda!
I'm sure that the "liberals" will march this out as another reason we shouldn't be allowed extensive cannon collections to protect ourselves with, but remember… Cannons don't kill people, people do.
How to opt out.
To opt out you simply need to go to the "Government Opt Out Building" where you will need to fill in an "Opt Out" form which you will find in a locked filing cabinet which itself is located in a disused lavatory, the one with a sign on the door that reads "Beware of the Leopard"
This is all of course in the governments "Opt Out Department" which doubles as the Cellar.
Bring your own flashlight.
Worlds Greatest Driver
But… I AM the world's greatest driver. Other drives honk their horns at me in celebration of my awesomeness, a fanfare to the Lord of the Roads!
Face Arrow
If you're playing a sniper like assassin with a bow (and it's a great deal of fun) you can clock someone in the head with an arrow and they will, understandably, come looking for who did it. However should they not locate you after a while they will mutter that it was "probably just their imagination" and wander back to do whatever they were doing before their near fatal head injury with the arrow still embedded firmly in their face.
This never fails to amuse me, that's a pretty vivid imagination you've got there fella… now stand still again for just a second…
Frankly with all of the ever present threats we get told about on a daily basis (Planet Destroying Asteroid, Super Volcano, Earths Magnetic Field Switching, Godzilla, Zombie Apocalypse, Khaaaaaan….) if I worried about the sun expanding and wiping us all from the face of the planet along with everything else I wouldn't have time to do anything but cower in a foetal position and cry myself to sleep on a daily basis.
Frankly I'm much more likely to get killed driving to work and yet I still do that everyday, mores the pity.
Daily Fail
Last I checked the Daily Mail they were marvelling over the amazing moving pictures aka the mythical "gif" image so don't think they'll likely catch on to this anytime soon. I'm sure once they do find out; this information will only confuse and scare them… (What doesn't) and they'll blame it on witchcraft, the left and probably the BBC.
But then the Cyborg… sorry, "Cybernetic Organism" would never have existed in the first place, so he wouldn't be able to go back in time and so then we would have technology... but then you could create a Cybo… Cybernetic Organism to shoo… but then he…
My brain hurts.
I've considered it.
Thought about it, what you seem to be asking is to draw similarities between something that was designed for communication and something that was designed for threatening and killing.
While Social Networking can be used for bad and good (although often pointless and insane) reasons. Guns have a single reason for existence, that reason is expelling small objects at high velocity… which really only has a single practical use.
Protest Vote
I didn't vote for this government…I voted for Optimus Prime, had to write the name and draw the box before I ticked it but I stand by my decision considering the alternatives.
As a truck Optimus Prime will certainly be for motorists, living in a rural region that's a big plus for me.
What? Who said that?...
Maybe im just completely deaf.
I lived about 3 fields away from a wind farm for years. And personally I don't think they ever disturbed my sleep or cause me any kind of psychological trouble, forgot the things were there most of the time.
Whether they generate enough energy to warrant their existence is an entirely separate matter.
Terrible urges
Sometimes I get the urge to brutally conquer the world and rule it with an iron fist. But In fact I have never once actually done that, I simply work out my terrible, terrible urges through other means.
Thanks the Civilization Series :)
Yay X-COM!
Good times playing X-COM.
Happy times, like reducing an entire city block to smouldering ruins to root out one of those horrible superfast parasite buggers.
And sad times… like having my entire team fire rockets and machine guns into a barn for 6 turns to kill one Sectoid, and failing. I then screamed abuse at my team for failing to hit the broadside of a barn… the fact of the matter is they could hit the barn, evidenced by the fact it had a great many holes in its walls… as well as that it was on fire. They just couldn't hit the part the nasty little alien was hiding behind.
Insult was added to property damage when the little sod strode out into the open took a long shot at my best agent who was hiding behind a large stone wall and clocked him dead, then proceeded to survive everything I threw at him for another turn before falling unconscious from smoke inhalation.
*sniff* they don't make games like that anymore.
I used to not mind Murdoch or his empire. Not because I approve of it, but because I didn't care.
I don't read his newspapers or watch his TV channels because they are as much "news" outlets as I am a flying pink unicorn with magical super powers.
However this has frustrated me, because by closing a newspaper and then opening another exact duplicate up under a different name a week later, he obviously thinks people are fucking idiots.
It makes me so god damned angry I wish I was a flying pink unicorn with magical super powers so I could rain horrible rainbow death down upon people like Murdoch and that ginger cow he fancies so much, and then politicians they need to burn in rainbow agony as well… sod it I'll just burn the world in rainbows and rebuild it in my very own pink unicorn image!
… I need a lie down, in a dark room, and bring tranquilizers… lots of tranquilizers…
This shouldn't be a surprise.
When was the last time you heard of any of the OF organisations doing absolutely ANYTHING useful or sensible?
They're toothless, pointless wastes of space who simply wave big business through at the expense of the consumer every single time.
What's that? Want to create a monopoly? Yeah why not. Put water prices up again? 20% increase? Sure! Cartel activities? I didn't hear anything honest *wink wink nudge nudge*
Considering that most computer geeks do… often conform to the stereotype of a computer geek, I don't really want any of them turning up dressed in skin tight PVC to answer the modified batsign.
… just personal preference.
Volcano Base
He's not the mastermind, I'm sure the met desperately wish he was… that would make them look really good but I can just see in a few days them, finally, admitting that he has very little to do with it. Maybe enough to charge him… but certainly nothing that would do lasting damage to the hacking group bar give them additional news coverage.
Daily Mail has some wonderful coverage of this story. Where they point out that the lad charged had TWO monitors, and pictures of naked ladies on his wall! So he must be a fucking deviant evil genius!
I have 4 monitors which by Daily Mail standards must make me at least as evil as Ming the Merciless or possibly Megatron at the very least.
I can just see the general population being really disappointed when/if LulzSec is finally unmasked and they don't turn out to own a Volcano base staffed with minions in orange jumpsuits and hard hats armed with machine guns.
Useless company
E.on? Bloody hell I hope not.
E.on are the most useless company I've ever had the misfortune to have to deal with. I've seen things dead at the side of the road with better customer support and business efficiency than that bunch of losers.
I'd fear for my life if someone gave them a load of plutonium.
It's alright.
It was never going to live up to the pure level of hype that surrounded the game.
Having read a number of reviews I think they are mostly fair. The problem is that the game is just alright. It's a fairly average FPS, that's not a bad thing it's good for a giggle and a bit of mindless blasting here and there, but don't try to hold it up as a masterpiece of game development.
Mostly I was just left feeling that it wasn't worth what I paid for it and in places I was either grimacing or simply embarrassed by the content, sure poo was funny when I was 12 but I'm not 12 anymore. Mind you that's not the games fault, that's just because I'm dead inside.
Personally I'd agree with what some have said and give it a while and pick it up from the bargain bin. It's not bad but it won't hurt to leave it a while and not pay the full price.
Another stupid comment from the glorious leaders of the country.
Why are all ministers, and for that matter pretty much all MP's totally incompetent. Is there a test where unless they write in purple crayon and manage to spell their name wrong at the top they're told they cant be leaders of our country?
I would truly love to believe that whatever their politics, all of our politicians are doing what they honestly believe is right for the country and for everyone living in the country.
But it would be like pretending to your parents that you believe that "Mr Hamster" has gone on holiday, when you really know that he's probarbly under that suspiciously freshly dug earth patch at the bottom of the garden.
Public Transport, brilliant if you have it...
I could quite happily use public transport. Unfortunately down here in Cornwall public transport is near non-existent. I'm always amazed when I go to London village that they have this brilliant underground train thing where you can get anywhere, and lots of buses they come along every 10 minutes! I always wonder is it the same bus… or different ones? It's more than my poor bumpkin brain can handle :(
Cornwall however… well I "could" theoretically travel to work via bus. If I didn't mind the bus dropping me off half an hour late for work, 5 miles away. This is of course a problem, especially when the bus then does its return journey 45 minutes before I finish work… 5 miles away.
It also only runs during term time.
Now this could just be me being really awkward but I'm not sure my boss would be too happy with me taking an hour and a half off everyday to commute, and also I'm not sure how I would go about only working during term times either… that could be tricky to get him to go with…
However with 1p off petroleum now my problems are solved! My only concern now is what to spend all this money I'm going to save on, maybe I'll build a new wing upon my house or maybe a full-sized gold statue of myself for others to marvel at. The possibilities are literally limitless.
But "Windows" is the name of an operating system. If Microsoft had trademarked "Operating System" and called their Operating System "Operating System" then… yes I can see your point.
App Store is very generic. It's been used long before Apple ever decided it was a cool name for something. IT Departments in companies I've worked for have always had an "App Store" for storing applications they use on a day-to-day basis.
As much as i like Apple stuff, whenever i see anything in the news about Apple its just more about them being asshats again.
Thank god, I bought a "Cornish" pasty in London the other day… tasted like god damned ash in my mouth. I went back and complained and was promptly told it was genuine Cornish. I pity people from the capital if they think that is what a pasty should taste like… blegh!
I realise that London is not Cornwall but surely even people in London can tell the difference between a Cornish Pasty and brick dust wrapped in pastry.
I left the "genuine" pasty on the counter. It was an offence against my taste buds.
Ahhh Syndicate, brilliant game. Give your agents some rocket launchers and then go to that mission with a parade with lots of people lining the streets…the explosions, the screams, the little people on fire… *blissful sigh*
And Dungeon Keeper was brilliant. Beating up heroes and dropping them into torture chambers convert them to your side and use them against their friends, fantastic fun…
Flame icon because little people on fire make me happy. :>
So they take all the funding away from community projects and magically people will suddenly want to volunteer to run them for nothing? And this is giving power to the people is it? Do they think we're all mega rich and work for the fun of it?
Dave and his government have the same firm grasp on reality as a fairy riding a unicorn made from fairy dust and rainbow tears.
The only real way forward for HMRC
Staff HMRC completely with chimps, I believe that this will increase efficiency (from its current levels anyway) and improve public approval (especially if you make them wear suits, who doesn't like the PG Tips adverts! Think of a whole government department staffed with them! Brilliant!) Plus you can pay them peanuts.
Penguin.. because penguins would also be an improvement, and bring their own suits.
@The Fuzzy Wotnot
oh dear god... what happens if you watch Big Fat Gypsy Wedding? cos... i have a "friend" who did lastnight...
I'm scoffing. I think you'll find the vast majority of homes in Cornwall already have electricity. There are potentially some out on the moors which do not but we're not all running around wearing potato sacks shoving pitchforks at the nearest Englishman that we can find... I did say not "all" of us.
Broadband however is patchy in places, the last company I worked for suffered with a awful connection which amounted to about ½ a Mb i on the other hand get a nice steady 8Mb. Then again a few months ago I went with my partner to visits her grandmother in Croydon who can't get broadband at all.
Given the choice between wearing a potato sack and wielding a pitchfork or living in Cryodon... i'll take my potato sack thanks.
Oh dear, both companies come across as squabbling four year olds. Im sure im not the only one that wants to prise them apart make them sit in opposite corners and think about their marketing strategies.
Sure take shots at each other if they want but please do it in a way that doesnt make me cringe. Let someone other than the work experience chap have a crack at it.
As for gaming on windows... its impossible to get a good strategy game on a console, they've tried sure... but they always manage to turn an otherwise good game into a horrible mutant slime creature gurgling "love me" and clawing at you with horrible little hands until it's malformed internal organs fail it and it dies in a pool of its own juices.
Still need a BNet Account
As others have said you still need a BNet account to play... you "might" be able to use the map editor, but i think you have to authenticate it first anyhoo. I guess you could authenticate it with an actual account and then use the offline mode...is there an offline mode?... *ponders*
As for RRP, i got it for 35 which is only a little above the average i usually pay. And at the risk of sounding fanboish... Blizzard games are so well polished and designed. Blizzard and Valve are the only games companies i would pay above for because their games are always so damned good.

The Maine Harvest Festival in Bangor featured over 120 of Maine's top producers with cooking demonstrations, lots of tasty treats and many great stories. We were impressed!
George Smith's blog
Harvest Festival Celebrates Maine's Best Producers
Deer Dying in the Dakotas – Is Maine Next?
During my annual pheasant hunt in North Dakota, I usually see lots of whitetail and mule deer. But two years ago, most of our whitetail deer sightings were of dead deer. On one farm, I saw eight freshly dead deer in four days, including the biggest whitetail I've ever seen in North Dakota.
I learned that the deer died of HD, hemorrhagic disease. Whitetails die within 96 hours of being bitten by a midge. The virus doesn't impact mule deer.
Dr. Dan Grove of North Dakota's Game and Fish Department told me the virus is present throughout the United States, is especially prevalent in southern states, and flares up in North Dakota every four to seven years. That year there were HD outbreaks in many states including South Dakota, Kansas, and Montana.
"The whole (whitetail) population is at risk," Grove told me in a telephone interview. "There can be large-scale die-offs."
Maine's moose are in trouble - what we don't know may be killing them
"New Hampshire's moose population has declined by 3,100, which is more than 40 percent, since 1997. The New Hampshire Fish and Game Department has reduced the number of moose hunting permits by 60 percent in the last five years."
As New Hampshire goes, so goes Maine? That could be the sobering conclusion reached after reading the troubling new report, "Nowhere To Run – Big Game Wildlife in a Warming World," published by the National Wildlife Federation. You can read the report online on the NWF website.
While Maine's moose biologist Lee Kantar told the legislature's Inland Fisheries and Wildlife Committee earlier this year that he doesn't know nearly enough about the health of our state's moose herd, we need only look to our neighbors in New Hampshire to see the future. Kantar has launched a significant study to improve his knowledge of moose health – particularly related to ticks – but there is much more trouble on the horizon. Literally.
Thanksgiving Bucks - Got one, Lost one
Thanksgiving Bucks – Got one, Lost one
I've had some memorable hunts on Thanksgiving mornings, before gathering with family for the annual feast. Here are two of my most memorable Thanksgiving encounters with big bucks.
An Icy Morning Heats Up
Crunch, crunch, crunch. I could hear him plodding along in the frozen ground through a stand of spruce out in front of me, coming from the stream and moving to my left. But I couldn't see him. To make that much noise with each step, I thought he must be big.
Excited by a good covering of snow that Thanksgiving morning, I'd gotten out early, driven the short distance to the landing on my neighbor's property, canoed downstream, and hustled the 250 yards to a ground blind I'd constructed on the top of a small ridge overlooking a well-worn deer trail.
Woodbury's The Mists of Adriana is a compelling read
Maine inspires good writing. Some writers are natives, some adopted, some write sitting in a local bar, some in a remote cabin, some write just one novel or work on nonfiction, some crank them out year after year.
While I'm a lifelong reader of all things Maine, devoted to books I can hold in my hand and to local bookstores (for both new and used books), and a trustee of my local library for 34 years, I am discovering that the new world of self-publishing is populated by some good writers.
Roger Woodbury is one of those writers. Now a full-time author of short stories and novels, Roger has an interesting background. He taught socially and economically disadvantaged children in an inner city school, sold insurance, purchased and restored antique buildings, and even acted in theater productions. Great fodder for his novels!
Gardiner's Water Street Cafe - a famous chef offering creative cuisine
A famous Maine chef is cooking at Gardiner's Water Street Cafe - and we bet you don't even know it!
Mainers will never hunt on Sundays here
I always get a lot of inquiries in November from deer hunters asking why we can't hunt on Sundays. Here's my answer.
Sunday hunting was banned in Maine on February 28, 1883, and I don't think we'll ever hunt on Sundays here because – well, because we haven't since 1883.
Only six states prohibit Sunday hunting, and in one of those, Virginia, Safari Club International recently filed a lawsuit challenging the ban, arguing that it is unconstitutional under both the U.S. Constitution and the Virginia Constitution that includes a right to hunt.

Percy Sledge
Percy Sledge
Percy Sledge will forever be associated with "When a Man Loves a Woman," a pleading, soulful ballad he sang with wrenching, convincing anguish and passion. Sledge sang all of his songs that way, delivering them in a powerful rush where he quickly changed from soulful belting to quavering, tearful pleas. It was a voice that made him one of the key figures of deep Southern soul during the late '60s. Sledge recorded at Muscle Shoals studios in Alabama, where he frequently sang songs written by Spooner Oldham and Dan Penn. Not only did he sing deep soul, but Sledge was among the pioneers of country-soul, singing songs by Charlie Rich and Kris Kristofferson in a gritty, passionate style. During the '70s, his commercial success quickly faded away, but Sledge continued to tour and record into the '90s.

What is government elementary school students being taught well government is your family.
That's what class of fourth grade students in Skokie Illinois were told -- -- homework assignment.
That compared government to -- because both set rules and take care of needs such as health care and education.
-- was it's a lesson that.
We'll be better on -- Joining us now is the -- right part neutral Pollack who was raised in Skokie Illinois as it happens -- -- you can answer the question shall what is going on in Skokie well.
Government as a family if you're in Skokie its whole Chicago area a state of Illinois is basically.
Devoted to that idea which is why you see.
Blue state troubles at their worst in Illinois with pension crisis over spending over dependence on the state.
You know people like to -- the politicians in Springfield for spending all this money but asked people to give up their precious.
Programs on this that the other people don't want to do -- there is this idea.
Pervasive in Chicago political culture that government exists to take care view yes unfortunately for the nation as a whole the same people who believe that most strongly -- -- campaigned on that and are running the country as a whole which is why we're seeing.
The terrible financial mess in -- no -- that's that's an excellent point.
But -- pretty adult questions yeah relationship to the state etc.
to push this garbage on fourth graders and really.
Give -- sort of orwellian propaganda shocking -- -- and read 11 once -- from the sort quote government is like in nations family -- take care of children.
And -- make sure they're safe healthy educated and free to enjoy life.
Families make and enforce rules and -- appropriate punishments when rules are broken government does these things for its citizens to.
Who yeah.
And -- you wanna continue the analogy.
Even further and you -- when government gets old and decrepit you have to take care of it until it finally expires in new hope to inherit -- -- -- not maybe that is a good model for our living what how I mean.
You know sometimes.
Mommy has to paddle you when you've been bad that's the way the government is but I -- it hurts us more than -- -- for your own good.
Mean that's just flat out propaganda irate I'm schools -- I remember what we -- in fourth grade I was going up and Skokie and you know we were taught by -- generation that had lived through or had a very deep consciousness of World War II yes and understood what it meant to fight for freedom the the fragility of freedom and so our -- we -- freedom.
And understanding liberty and we did.
Learn about Democrats and Republicans but it was never so partisan or ideological as this and we were told well Democrats basically kind of -- with unions Republicans had big business that's as political -- -- got right.
Now you have a new generation it's been educated post 1960s.
To believe their role as educators is to prepare the youth of today for the transformations of tomorrow and so.
They want to inculcate this kind of idea of a paternalistic government and the government that fails -- it doesn't take care everybody just like us and we can't.
-- anybody they don't start with.
Individuals are citizens you know in your family you -- your existence to your parents will we don't know or existence toward the low -- you -- is an analogy here wanna teach kids -- -- to be active engaged thoughtful citizens not.
Passive little robots who obeyed the state which is exactly what you get to some this nonsense shall thanks for joining us think if --

NAGPUR: As the nation celebrated Dr Babasaheb Ambedkar's birth anniversary on April 14, Saturday, the city airport named after the great leader continues its prolonged wait of almost four years for a new statue of him. Exactly on April 14, 2008, the present statue was unveiled by the earlier airport operator Airports Authority of India (AAI). However after Ambedkar followers complained that the old one did not bear resemblance to him, they proposed to replace the old one.
Now a group of followers under the banner of Dr B R Ambedkar Pratima Niwaran Sangharsh Samiti demanded immediate replacement of the present statue with a new one. Mukesh Meshram, coordinator of the samiti, warned of a massive agitation at the airport, if authorities failed to comply immediately. Meshram said, "The airport authorities had set many deadlines to replace the statue, like on Dhammchakra Pravartan Day and then on April 14 but nothing has happened yet."

Nick Jonas confirmed via Twitter that the "American Idol" team has tapped him for a potential post on next season's judging panel. Rumors have been swirling that the 19-year-old Jonas was up for the gig after US Weekly cited a source last week stating: "[American Idol producers] think he can help bring that younger demo to the show."
Matt Rourke/AP Photo
In response, Jonas tweeted: "The rumors are true... I am being considered to be a judge on American Idol, and it would be a dream come true if it happens. #nickonidol" on Aug. 4.
N.E.R.D. rapper Pharrell is also rumored to be in talks to join the panel alongside confirmed music maven, Mariah Carey, for this winter's season 12.
What do you think? Should Jonas join "Idol" as a judge? What about Pharrell or Carey?

K didnt no what section to put this in but mussels can prob find a better one. This is the story i used to have a g5 mouse that i liked alot, i now have the lachesis but i hate the mousewheel so i though i would call logitech see about if my warranty is done for the g5. I talked to this guy on logitech support how i lost my receipt for the g5 and that i wasnt sure if it was still under warranty based on the Logitech Ship date to when they brought it to the store i bought it from it was past warranty by like 4 months or 5. So i asked the guy if there was anything he could do, after a while we decided on a deal, he said he would give me a deal for 50% off the g500(the new version of the g5), so i bought a g500 for 50% off. This is all without a receipt, without proof that my mouse is actually broken( i could of made up the things going wrong with my mouse by reading other peoples problems), so i get to keep my g5 that sadly is actually broken, and i get 50% off the g500 whats your guys thoughs on logitech support and your storys.
I would reply, but im too busy looking up the numbers for all the companies for all the new parts i want...brb phone ! (joking aside, that a a nice offer)
Same happened with my friend he literally called up said his g19 was broken and he got a new one without even needing to take pictures.
Logitech's support is pretty good, on par with EVGA. They've replaced my g7 something like 4 times now at no charge to me, a couple times not even requiring me to return my broken one. Now this latest one is starting to act up. Rather then try to get another I think I'm just done with it. They've also replaced my g15 twice at no charge to me, and once was admittedly my fault in regards to the malfunction.
Same here with the v220 i use for our HTPC. Good thing to remember is some of there mice carry a 3 year warranty. EDIT: The G5 has a 3 year warranty so keep your receipt safe and out of the sun too .
ya i guess as long as you already have the product its all good, and if you dont abuse it, they probably build all there products using some kid in malaysia or india and pay the 5 cents a keyboard. so it would be a profit it just surprised me since i was already alot past warranty
Logitech is awesome if you have a set of speakers they say can you plz smash them and then take a picture so we can send you some new ones
can't anyone just claim something's broken just to get a new set? or just use someone elses picture of a destroyed set? lol
ya thats what i meant in my first post, Me:was my mouse doesnt work it randomly twitches around and disconnects and reconnects, Him: Are you using Set Point 6 Me:Yes it still doesnt, heres my P/N, to check for warranty Him:Its Past Warranty Me: Is There anything you can give Him: Ill give you 50% off the g500 just give this number next time you call Me: k thx got my gift card visa and bought it and now its otw, no pics needed, dont need to send my g5 so i could of easily lied.
Sure! Then more an more people will do it. Logitech will be getting more returns than usual, they'll catch on and Customer Support will suffer. Great way to destroy good customer service. I generally find taking the honest route works better for everyone. Greedy bastards that ruin things for everyone else deserve a If this was a more lawless world, I'd go further than a nutkick. I've worked in customer service and have seen it firsthand. It's the greedy that are ruining the world.. but that's just obvious.
I think it's too bad that that only happens in the US. Logitech European support would just tell you to piss off and buy a new one (I speak from experience). Oh, and discount coupon codes? Only for UK customers. Go go Logitech!
This happened with my g5, it was 8 months old, and it died. I Sent in my receipt, and logitech sent me a new one. I was psyched when it arrived I will always buy their stuff because of what they do for us.
Thanks for making me aware of Logitech's customer service. I have quite a few Logitech products and I have had things in the past that I just tossed because I wasn't aware of this. That reminds me of when I worked at this pizza place and a customer would call and talk to the manager telling them how bad the pizza was. We would send out a replacement and there would be one piece left in the return box!
They sent me a $10 off any Logitech purchase recently for doing a survey on my cheapo EX 100 Wireless kb/m and I absolutely love my Harmony remote
well i have a logitech g110 keyboard that last week i was trying to get warranty on and emailed them and they want a picutre of the back of the keyboard, I just told them it stopped working but it actually got cracked and must of cracked the circuit board, so i cant send them a pic of it cracked, so iam looking for a pic of a g110 of the backside with serials etc...
Dude, not true! I'm from Portugal too (boas) and I also have a great story from them. I got a G9 and some 5 months after buying it, the wheel started to get a bit cranky (it wouldn't free-wheel for 20 seconds like it used to, it stopped at 3 seconds or so). I e-mailed them about the problem, they asked me to send them some pictures of the mouse, the P/N and my address, so I did. Their next mail said that a brand new G9 mouse was already on its way to my home, and they asked me to send them the old one. I was so thankfull for the new mouse that I actually sent the old one to them. AFAIK I could've kept the old one because apart from the free-wheeling, it was still a damn great mouse. I guess that's how you get regular customers.
wouldnt that not work finding a pic on the internet because maybe the pic from the back would have serials that are past warranty or have already been given back. just how cracked is it lmao
its not a small crack lol, I read the email again and they want just a pic of the keyboard with the serial number and m/n number. wish icould find someone who had one cause id love to have this keyboard again lol
i'm glad some people get awesome support from logitech, here in Au they wont even do warranty - they dont deal with customers at all. Its all dealt with where you bought the item, and if they wont/cant help you - you're screwed.
Arent they forced to do warranty for the time after you bought the item? It still says it has a 3 year warranty when i go to the logitech australie site. couldnt you call them up and bitched at them until they give you a new one if being nice doesnt work that usually does on companies

This is the third time I haven't received a my preorder on the release date. K.O.D., Gates Mixed Plate and now All 6's and 7's. I mean isn't a main point of a preorder to have a garanteed copy on the release date. We pay the extra money for it to be shipped to us, and then it doesn't even get here on time. But I luckily its worth it with the music, and the album being signed is worth the wait, it would just be nice to get it when it was supposed to be there. 67676767676767676767
I live in the area too, but I got it today and pre-ordered the first hour it was available to. I guess its something when they ship out the bulk amount of them or something.

In the Eye of the Whirlpool
From the mythical Charybdis to the monster Maelstrom, these watery gyres thrill and chill us
- By Simon Winchester
- Smithsonian magazine, August 2001, Subscribe
Of all the many prejudices that afflict an average Englishman, the one to which I most happily subscribe is the notion that we produce, and long have produced, the finest maps in all the world.
Britain's British Isles of such accuracy, precision and beauty as to dazzle the beholder. There is an axiom, universally held in the Kingdom, that whatever an Ordnance map may indicate, one can be absolutely sure it is, in description and location, exactly and canonically right.
Which is why, some 15 years ago, while I was leafing through a few maps in London, I was puzzled to see inscribed on Survey Sheet 55, which covers that small area of western Scotland titled "Lochgilphead & Loch Awe," a single, curiously unexpected word.
It had been written in blue, in the middle of a strait that separates two Inner Hebridean islands—one small and little known called Scarba, and another, larger, called Jura. At the northern side of this strait, two-thirds of the way toward its Atlantic exit, the map said, with neither comment nor explanation, "Whirlpool." The body of water in which it was sited was known as the Gulf of Corryvreckan: whatever it was that lurked two-thirds of the way along it was therefore known as the Corryvreckan Whirlpool.
But hold on! Whirlpools, I thought, were mythical entities, not the kind of thing to put on a modern-day map. Having the word there somehow diminished the chart—made it look like an ancient portolan illustrated with sea serpents, or one of those fanciful boreal symbols denoting an area notorious for gales. A whirlpool surely wasn't a real thing—it was more of a symbol, a personification of the worries of ancient mariners, like a kraken or a Minotaur or a mermaid. A myth, in short, like Ulysses' Charybdis.
A chimera? The stuff of legend?
So, I assumed—wasn't the Corryvreckan Whirlpool likely to be just the same, just a myth, an exaggerated memory, the stuff of Celtic legend, in the way that Charybdis was part of the mythic sagas of Greece? Surely in reality it wasn't any more than I had assumed all whirlpools to be—a temporary thing, like the vortex in the bathtub, a momentary eddy in a river, a rush of current in an estuary?
Yet because it was written on the map, perhaps it did have to be something extraordinary. Perhaps in fact there was a whirlpool in Corryvreckan that was so huge and infernal and unexpected that it was not a chimera at all, but fixed into the ocean so firmly that it could be called permanent. No one I spoke to in London seemed to know for sure. Only a visit could settle the matter.

Sir, re the comment that Belnahua was flooded by a great storm.
Today, Aug 25, 2009, I talked with Angus Shaw, aged 102 years, whose uncle , James Shaw quarried slate on Belnahua uuntil at least World War 1 and possibly beyond.
Apparently the quarry always flooded naturally and only constant pumping kept it at bay. When work and pumpinmg stopped - the island flooded.
