Eating out in the Czech Republic can be quite cheap compared to some of its Western European counterparts. Some of the best restaurants can be quite small, so if you are planning to treat yourself in some of Prague, Ostrava or Plze's top restaurants make sure and book early to avoid disappointment.
The national dish is roast pork, sauerkraut (chopped or shredded cabbage fermented in its own juice) and dumplings. Most national dishes include meat, dumplings and rice or potatoes.
In comparison to other nationalities, Czech people eat relatively early, and by 10am they are already enjoying a snack. The main course is usually served around midday.
In Prague, the best areas to wine and dine in are around the backstreets round Národní Trída (much of this area is undiscovered by tourists) and Wenceslas Square, among other areas.
All of the country's main city's are home to restaurants serving national cuisine, as well as other international food.

All TV shows hope to leave their mark on pop culture, but few shows have ever had as much impact as Dynasty.
Fall TV Scorecard: Renewed or canceled?
"When people... read full article
Season 7, Episode 28 In season 7 Alexis' life is spared as Krystle is able to restrain Blake's lethal temper, Amanda is rescued by Blake's chauffeur, Michael Culhane, and Claudia is claimed victim by the ravaging flames. After Blake recovers his wealth, he loses his memory following an oil rig explosion. While everyone thinks he is dead, Alexis makes him believe they are still married.
The 6th season begins with the aftermath of the 'Moldavian Massacre.' Those who survived are separated and held at the palace as the terrorists assume power before Blake finally secures the family's release and return from Moldavia. When the family gets home, a lookalike woman named Rita poses as Krystle.
Season 2, Episode 2 The second season begins right where the first left off, with Blake's first wife Alexis taking the stand and testifying against him. Alexis stirs things up even more after she decides to move onto the Carrington estate. Meanwhile, Steven marries Sammy Jo, Blake is blinded following an explosion and Claudia is hospitalized after getting shot.
Season 1, Episode 15 The first season begins with oil tycoon Blake Carrington marrying his former secretary, Krystle. Krystle's former lover, Matthew, returns to town and causes more problems when he tells Krystle that he's still in love with her. Blake's daughter Fallon does not support his marriage, and chooses to marry childhood friend Jeff Colby just for her father's benefit.

It's another ridiculously busy night of TV, with premieres and finales jousting for attention amid other distractions. It's just as well that CBS' top-rated lineup is taking a breather with repeats.
First, the farewells, going head to head. Once again, NBC sends away its reliably tear-jerking Parenthood (10/9c) earlier in the TV year than we'd like, but a limited run of 15 episodes beats the alternative. Shows like this don't tend to repeat well, and if a shorter run makes business sense — while freeing up the time period in the back half of the season for something else (in this case, a retooled Smash in two weeks) — then so be it. This fourth season has been Parenthood's strongest and most emotionally charged to date, especially in the storyline involving Kristina's breast cancer ordeal, providing Monica Potter and Peter Krause (as husband Adam) with their strongest dramatic material to date. Emmy voters, wake up and take note.
The bitch is back! Joan Collins plays an even more diva-fied version of herself in three episodes of TV Land's Happily Divorced, beginning November 28.
"She's a strong, glamorous woman with a very good sense of humor who is quite independent, quite rich and likes to get her own way," Collins, 79, says of herself.

With summer on the way, it can be daunting to think about the heat and humidity that ultimately causes oil buildup on our skin. This is the time when all of us are more prone to those little red blemishes we continuously try to avoid, and a shiny appearance that no one wants! In order to fight the oil buildup, we have to use the right products that will get the job done and Glam Damn It, we've found the cures! Below are our favorite top-rated products. Check out these cleansers, masks, and makeup products, to help banish oil and improve the appearance of your skin!
Neutrogena Deep Clean Long-Lasting Shine Control Cleanser/Mask, $7.49
We love this face wash because it can be used as a quick, daily cleanser, as well as a 3-minute mask! The formula is shown to be so effective that it will absorb up to 85% of oil and clogged pores instantly after use. With rice proteins that will continue to absorb excess oil all day long, you can expect a healthier clearer complexion for hours.
Find it at Neutrogena or Ulta
Boscia Clarifying Detox Mask, $25
This clay mask contains pure botanicals and herbs to help deeply cleanse your face and absorb any impurities or excess oil. The combination of anti-irritants and purifying agents will help to minimize the appearance of pores and revitalize the skin. Apply a think layer over your face after washing it and leave it on for 5 minutes. Splash warm water on afterwards and notice brighter, shine-free skin in no time.
Find it at Sephora
We've all seen oil blotting sheets before; they are a quick and easy way to help absorb any extra oil and shine and these blotter sheets by Proactiv are a must-have for summer weather. A perfect solution for someone on the go, these blotting sheets can be tucked away in your pocket or purse and provide instant results and a more matte finish.
Find them at Proactiv
Another thing we all have to consider about the summer is keeping our skin protected. However, some SPF products can clog pores, which is the last thing someone with oily skin needs. We suggest this daily sunscreen that contains a lightweight formula helping to rid your face of sweat and oil. Use it as a makeup primer or alone!
Find it at Macy's
This foundation is perfect for oily skin, as it contains a triple-action base to help absorb excess oils and create a matte, fresh appearance. With 8 different shades to choose from, smudge and fade-free results, and even SPF, we couldn't have chosen a better product to help fight oil, sunburn, and fading makeup!
Find it at Estée Lauder
Urban Decay De-Slick Mattifying Powder, $29
This translucent mattifying powder stops shine and blots away oil. The lavender shade is an invisible shield that works over any skin tone or type. Use it on bare skin or over your concealer and get that shine-free look with a lightweight feel!
Find it at Urban Decay
This hypoallergenic makeup setting spray helps to prevent oil in your complexion where the mist absorbs any excess surface shine and sebum. The setting spray is a perfect solution for those who need a product to help their makeup last through the sweltering summer weather all day. Use it over eye shadow, powder, blush and concealer by sweeping the mist over your T-zone to evenly distribute and keep your look fresh!
Find it at Sephora
This powder gel is exactly what it sounds like! Apply as a gel, and you will soon see it morph into an oil absorbing powder that can be used over or under your makeup to keep a shine-free appearance.

text: 5 Brilliant little playerthemummyX3 | 16/11/2011 | See all themummyX3's reviews (6)Excellent little player for this price. Very simple to operate and nothing too fancy but still looks stylish. Just what was required for my daughter. Should keep arguments over the TV to a minimum now. I purchased a silver dvd player from Argos (value range) that was the same price with a remote as well but I think this one is pretty hard to beat. It's also quieter than the Argos version. Have also ordered this in the pink version.

McCain wants us to know that when he said earlier today that he chose Palin "because we thought that Sarah Palin was the better candidate. Why did we not take [Tim] Pawlenty, why did we not take any of the other 10 other people. Why didn't I? Because we had a better candidate, the same way with all the others. … Come on, why? That's a stupid question."
He believes those words, of his, were taken "out of context." So McCain felt the need to add more words, to qualify or temper the earlier words:
"Some in the media have chosen to take my answer today, in response to the question of why I did not select Governor Romney as my vice presidential nominee, out of context. I selected Sarah Palin because she was the best fit for my campaign, and my decision had nothing to do with the bogus tax return attacks currently being waged by the Obama campaign. I have the highest respect for Governor Romney and his record of public service, and he will make an outstanding president."
So we went from "better candidate" to "best fit for my campaign" in a few short hours. That's what you call Straight Talk!

Comments about REI Hobitat 4 Tent - 2011:
Very well built, really like all the extras available for it, also bought the garage that attaches to it for even more room for gear.
Best Uses
Comments about REI Hobitat 4 Tent - 2011:
We are avid car campers, so comfort and ease of set up are important to us. The Hobitat is plenty roomy for our family -- 2 adults and a toddler. It's nice to be able to stand up inside the tent.
We also got the "Garage" which is very useful for gear storage.
On our first trip with this tent, there was a big rain and thunderstorm overnight. We were warm and dry throughout.
Best Uses
Comments about REI Hobitat 4 Tent - 2011:
I set up alone 3x & extremely difficult to do so. Footprint MUST be staked down or won't work. I know this is SOP, have used other tents where not a MUST. Also, rain fly does NOT clip into tent body tab, but must be placed under tent tab & fixed w/pole tip. Not good! Impossible to set up on driveway to clean w/o help. Will keep it, but would not try to set up in inclement weather w/o good help! Should be field tested before buying. Very nice once in use, but will turn you into a Donald Duck setting up. Breaking down not too tough.

Comments about REI Hobitat 4 Tent - 2011:
I have loved this tent since I bought it last year but recently used it in the middle of a thunderstorm and was SO impressed with how it held up. With standing water surrounding my tent on three sides, I was thrilled that my interior was completely dry, and the gale force winds and hail were no match for the Hobitat. It is roomy enough to easily stand and dress, and the mesh ceiling and side vents make it really pleasant to sleep in. It is super easy to set up with two people (my 12 year old son and I can do it in under 5 minutes) and makes car camping so very easy. Would highly recommend it for any family looking for a sturdy, comfy, easy to use tent for car camping.

Comments about REI Hobitat 4 Tent - 2011:
Bought this tent when my GF said she wanted to camp in a tent that she could stand up in. Reasonable request so I added the Hobitat 4 to my "herd" of tent options that I own. Now this is for car camping only, there's no backpacking situation that this would ever make sense for. That said;
1. Super roomy for two to three people and standing up in a tent is a nice thing.
2. Bathtub floor comes up high enough that in windy conditions, dust doesn't blow in from under the rain fly.
3. Really easy to set up with two people.
4. Mesh at the roof is fine enough to easily see stars through.
5. Big doors.
1. Rainfly is VERY incomplete without the (extra cost) vestibule or garage. Rain NEVER falls straight down and it WILL come in through the doors of the tent anytime the zippers are not fully closed and wrapped up in the velcro flap at the bottom of the entrance, which is impossible to do from the outside. So take the chance and zip the door closed at the top of the door. Less water comes in this way but the "beak drip" gets blown in through the zipper. We'll buy the vestibule for the next outing.
2.Not crazy about the poles and their pre-bent shape. This is what I mean by that; the sturdiness in the poles prevents them from flexing as easily as the carbon fiber types (duh). So extreme care needs to be taken to ensure that the pole is precisely in the "tent sleeve" where you want it before you flex the poles into their upright position. My concern/fear is that the pole will bend/crimp and render it useless (1 pole repair part/aluminum sleeve is included), it feels like it would be easy to do.
These are minor things:
3.Footprint doesn't really fit.
If you do a taut pitch on the tent, the footprint will be saggy along all sides and at all 4 corners leading to debris and water getting under the edges of your tent. Our solution was to stake out the footprint separately from the tent itself but had the footprint actually matched the footprint of the tent... this would be a non issue.
4. Zippers on the door. I would suggest, as we did, to customize the pulls on the zippers on the main entrance. I extended the main door pulls and wrapped them in an electric, neon, blinding color duct tape. That way the screen panel zipper didn't get pulled when you want the whole door to open.
Five stars would require rain fly with vestibule and a footprint that fits.
We'll keep this tent and use it for many years to come and I think it should last as it seems to be sewn together well.

Comments about REI Hobitat 4 Tent - 2011:
This is a great tent, best larger tent I have ever owned. The first time I set it up, my friends were making fun on my fancy expensive tent, until the first storm hit. :) We were camping in a canyon and had a severe thunderstorm with high winds come through and the tent stayed strong. Everyone else's tent's were badly leaning in the wind, and rain and wind were getting under their rain flys, but not my "fancy tent"!
It is not hard to set up, a second person makes it way easier, but it is doable by yourself. I have the attached garage and it is great for family camping with enough room for my wife and I, the dog, and our son.

Comments about REI Hobitat 4 Tent - 2011:
Used this on a family camping/lake recreation event. It's footprint is tidy, and the height is phenomenal. I'm fairly tall for a female and like to stand up to change: no problem in the Hobitat 4! Fit a twin airbed, gear, and room to move around. Don't know how it would be with more folks, but I loved the small footprint, height, and super smooth fly. Can't wait to use it again. Also purchased the footprint tarp; excellent product and tent protection, easy to use. No moisture seeped through.

Comments about REI Hobitat 4 Tent - 2011:
My wife and I decided to buy a bigger tent this year since our 100 pound golden retriever husky mix goes everywhere with us. First time we used the tent we literally got caught in a torrential downpour. And a tornado was even spotted a few miles away the tent stayed 100% dry. Also held up to the high winds very well. I highly recommend this tent to anyone shopping for a new one. Thanks REI!
Best Uses
Comments about REI Hobitat 4 Tent - 2011:
I've gotta say, I LOVE this tent. I went camping with a bunch of friends. Everyone had cheap, flimsy, tents. Or they had the instant tents. I was able to put my tent up just as fast as the instant tent, yet it looks better, will last longer, and is better made. Everyone at the camp site now wants my tent.
I was grateful that I was able to stand up in the tent and get dressed. However, for the ladies out there, be careful who is around... because there is mesh siding approx five inches wide on the wall, its the perfect height for people to see your rear as you change. However, dont let that stop you from buying a great tent.
I love the fact that the door can turn into two, depending on how you set up the zippers.
Very versatile.

Comments about REI Hobitat 4 Tent - 2011:
We bought this tent based on reading reviews. Everything we read said it was a good tent. We have camped with it three times and found it easy to set up, a big comfortable floor space, a tall interior that allowed us to easily stand up, and was very easy to take down. Little things we enjoyed was the easy to read instructions, the bag with big enough dimensions to easily stuff the tent (unlike some tents that required you to perfectly fold the tent to get it in the bag), and the heavier than normal floor material. What we found a bit annoying was the 4 person rating. I guess you could fit 4 people but it would be very cramped with no room for bags, lanterns, or virtually anything. It is a comfortable space for two of us and it would be more truthful to say it is a 2-3 person tent.

Recent research shows that some long-term damage to the body may already have occurred when pre-diabetes is discovered. According to the Center for Disease Control, an estimated 41 million adults, ages 40 to 74, have pre-diabetes.
Pre-diabetes does not have to become Type 2 diabetes. With healthy lifestyle changes, blood sugars can return to normal levels. A free pre-diabetes class is offered that addresses how to delay or prevent Type 2 diabetes. The class schedule alternates between afternoons and evenings. Call (765) 646-8178.
An outpatient education class is available with daytime and evening sessions offered. A physician referral is needed. Call (765) 646-8178.

It has been two years since they had graduated from the Chrenobyl training branch, it hadn't been easy and many of the people they arrived with hadn't made it through the arduous trials that that place had set them. Those that did and could were reintegrated into society having proven their ability to cope with their own supernatural powers and hungers, those though that were not suited for the outside world were found havens to hide in and ways around having to socialise or see other people.
The fight raged on, the Hawthorne society threat had grown, with several purposeful attacks being lead against various training camps aside the Chrenobyl institute. Every so often you are called with a time and place to complete a mission from one of the senior members of the organisation and to get your pay cheque you have to complete it satisfactorily. The usual rules applying, do not reveal yourself to the mortals, do not leave any evidence behind and don't die. You learned quickly not to question the orders and honestly, why would you? Though sometimes, something resonated as off with the orders.
The Hawthorne Agency are growing more aggressive and bold with every passing month, their shadowy assailants have found and killed many of the 'graduates' of the academy, driving many more underground and elders back to the safety of their home countries and infinite wealth. Rasputin; your ultimate boss and head of the organisation, has not spoken on the matter at all and the elders likewise are quiet. With this threat looming there are also rumours of a virus that has begun to sweep across the undead, it attacks the part of the brain capable of coherent thought and reduces even the most gentile of creatures to their slathering basic primal instincts. The rumour suggests there is no cure once contracted and the only warning signs are a distinct red ring around the iris of the infected's eye.
The original Pitch
Vampyre Plus, often shortened to V+, is an underground militaristic organization…for the undead. The world of the living has no knowledge of its existence, but it has been, for centuries, gathering together the undead of all kinds in incredible numbers, hoping to soon take the entire earth by storm. (in IC lore, it originally only accepted vampire members, under the name "Vampyre," but in recent centuries has broadened scope to include all revenants, hence the new name.)
The V+ RP focuses on a group of newly "born" revenants. Vampires, Zombies, Ghosts, any kind of undead creature is welcome. While trying to cope with, well, being dead, the group is thrown hastily in Undead society, a morbidly satirical world that exists right under the noses of the living; in places we deem "haunted." Life after death is not easy, as "newborns" often act too much like "the breathers" for undead taste. So, collectively or apart, each of the newborns decide to join the V+, which promises fame, fortune, and acceptance. Take on team missions and move up the ranks of the V+, and eventually coordinate entire armies of undead as they war with the living…and possibly each other.
So with a whole lot of darkly humorous undertones, a whole lot of serious drama and competition, and a whole lot of undead, V+ is…well I'm not sure what it is. But read on if you're still interested.
The Revnant Types/ V+ Branches.
The Six Core
The lesser known Revenants.
The Hawthorne Agency.
Base of Operations: Our Lady of the Rocks, Montenegro
Purpose: Hawthorne exists to eliminate all threats of the Undead, wherever they may be.
History: The Hawthorne Agency found its beginnings in Croatia, where the caretakers of Trakošćan Castle faced off against a band of Vampyres, seeking to take the castle as a stronghold. Most of the caretakers were killed, but a few held tight to the legends of vampires they grew up with and managed to stake the vampyres. The survivors vowed to keep the public safe from these unseen legends. They chose the name Hawthorn, which in Croatian legend is the wood used to make vampire-killing stakes. They moved to Our Lady of the Rocks, the artificial island off of Montenegro, and set up a base of operations in the basement of the Catholic church there; after bringing in the vampiric corpses to convince the Priest, of course. They began their efforts to keep all of the Balkans safe from the walking dead.
Since then, The Hawthorne Agency has expanded (most notably by attaching a meaningless "e" on the end of the name), accumulating many members, power, and influence. They now have Agencies in the US, Brazil, Egypt, Burkina Faso, Russia, China, and Australia. They continue to hunt down the Undead wherever they may be found, and recruit able members into the Agency. Along the way, they have discovered and documented the new types of Undead that they encounter, no longer limited to just Vampyre hunters. They have an active research division that searches all mythology and folklore on possible types of Undead and how to dispatch them.
Structure: Each Hawthorne Agency has a relatively small base, with Agents spending most of their time about their daily lives, with their families, or on the road. Each is headed by an "Operative" who stays in constant communication with all other Operatives of Agencies around the globe. The Operatives of the Homebase in Our Lady of the Rocks are the families of the original caretaking/Vampyreslaying team. All Hawthorne members underneath the Operative are simply referred to as "Agents" and are assigned missions in pairs. There are no real ranks, only specializations of the hunt.
Vampyre Hunters - Sometimes called "Thorns," they are adept at identifying vampires in hiding. They use a wide-range of weapons, including UV Flashlights, Holy Water Guns, Crossbows with wooden arrows, and Katanas (for beheading.) They also must always be wearing a crucifix.
Zombie Hunters - Their arsenal is probably the most practical, consisting mostly of varying types of shotguns and melee weapons
Phantom Hunters - Also known as "Ghostbusters," these guys vary the most in equipment. They carry EMF detectors to sense the presence of ghosts, and use wrought iron poles or wrought iron firearm ammunition to dispel ghosts. They employ the use of EMP grenades, flamethrowers (for burning the earthly remains of the ghost) and are all ordained Catholic Priests, so they can exorcise the ghosts from living humans.
Mummy Hunters - These guys are really simple. They carry flamethrowers and incendiary grenades. They burn shit. Especially Mummies. They also have a soft side, because they all have pet cats that follow them everywhere to scare the Mummies.
Skeleton Hunters - These are all basically guys that Hawthorne picked up from one of those crazy zombie obstacle course runs. They're the fastest, quickest thinking, most agile fans of the undead out there, so they're perfect for chasing down skeletons. Their only weapons are their fists, because you can basically tickle a skeleton and watch it disassemble. They carry backpacks so they can steal the skeletons' skulls and run away, preventing the skeleton from reassembling properly.
Draug Hunters - Sometimes called "Storm Chasers," the draugar hunters are unlike other hunters because they don't usually engage their revenant prey. They are equipped with .50 caliber sniper rifles, and .50 caliber wrought iron rounds. They are trained to headshot draugar from a distance, temporarily "killing" it, so they can engage the corpse before it reanimates and behead it with a wrought iron cleaver. They probably get the most kills out of all the agents, but also experience the most casualties, because if they screw up, there really is no hope.
Character and Creation Sheets.
All Character or Creature sheets MUST be PM'ed to me for approval before they are posted.
The basic idea.
LetterE and Lizzie B created a wonderful premise, all the above content (except the first two paragraphs about the new setting) is their creation. However thanks to a hectic life they had to drop their rp and I was put in emergency charge. However as I'm sure you're aware its not easy running someone elses RP when you don't know what plans, plots or ideas they had for it. So I, with a few of the players, decided that something that was mine would be easier for me to manipulate and control and we came up with this idea.
I will be setting up the OOC Soon with most of the above information and a little more, we'll also be using this to discuss where/why and how people are where they are when the RP starts, also for those it's pertinent too what happened and what didn't happen at the Chrenobyl Camp.
This is a high end casual/low end advanced roleplay. Preferably you will be able to:
- Post once a week.
- Post a minimum of 3 paragraphs.
- Be able to use punctuation and grammar enough that is readable, spell check where needed.

Along with its Wi-Fi only and CDMA-equipped contemporaries, the iPad 2 (Wi-Fi/GSM/A-GPS) was proclaimed to be the start of a "post PC" era (although it originally still required to be "tethered" to a Mac or Windows PC for synchronization and updates). Like the original iPad, the GSM/A-GPS iPad 2 (A1396) is a tablet computer designed for "browsing the web, reading and sending e-mail, enjoying photos, watching videos, listening to music, playing games, reading e-books, and much more".
It is equipped with a 9.7-inch (1024x768, 132 ppi) multitouch "glossy" LED-backlit IPS display and runs a version of the same iOS operating system that powers the iPhone and iPod touch models. As a result it is compatible with thousands of iPad-specific apps as well as most apps for the iPhone/iPod touch, but not Mac OS X apps.
It is powered by a custom-designed 1 GHz dual-core Apple A5 "system on a chip", has 16 GB, 32 GB, or 64 GB of flash memory (32 GB and 64 GB options discontinued March 7, 2012), front and rear mounted cameras, 802.11a/b/g/n Wi-Fi, GSM, and A-GPS support, an accelerometer, a three-axis gyroscope, an ambient light sensor, digital compass, a speaker and a built-in mic packed in a 0.34 inch thick, 1.35 pound glass and aluminum case with a black or white front and an aluminum back. The battery life of this iPad 2 is reportedly 10 hours "surfing the web on Wi-Fi, watching video, or listening to music" and 9 hours "surfing the web using 3G data."
Compared to the original iPad, major differences for the iPad 2 models include a thinner, lighter case design, faster processors, system-wide mirroring support, and the aforementioned cameras. They also support a new magnetic "Smart Cover" -- available at additional cost -- that protects the screen when not in use and automatically wakes up the iPad 2 when the cover is removed and puts it to sleep when the cover is attached.

Tracking the Bighorns
Where do the elusive mountain climbers go? Researchers have finally learned some answers
- By Becky Lomax
- Smithsonian magazine, March 2008, Subscribe
As the five of us hiked around Rising Wolf Mountain, a monolith of ice-chewed rock in the southeast corner of Glacier National Park, we could hear clinking and rattling somewhere in the talus slopes above us—miniature rock slides unleashed by hooves. Kim Keating, a wildlife biologist with the Northern Rocky Mountain Science Center in Bozeman, Montana, was in the lead. He has studied Glacier's bighorn sheep for two decades, collaring 99 since 2002 and tracking them with GPS recorders and radio telemetry. The tranquilizer dart he carried had enough of the narcotic carfentanil and the sedative xylazine to pacify a 300-pound sheep. Because the dose is lethal to humans, Keating—and only Keating—would handle the dart.
The low-angled autumn sun lit up yellowing larch trees like candles. Stephanie Schmitz—one of three fieldworkers assisting Keating—spotted a small herd of bighorn in a golden meadow up ahead. Keating loaded his dart rifle, then began edging toward the animals. They raised their heads. Keating stopped, pretending to be doing nothing. He sat down for a few minutes. "To avoid startling them, you want the sheep to see you," he explained later, "but you have to be willing to walk away if the shot isn't right."
The sheep dropped their heads to munch on grass. Keating crept into shooting range—20 yards away or less—aimed and fired. A few sheep ran; some stared, befuddled. A ewe staggered.
The crew's first job was to prevent the ewe from tumbling downhill. "If they get going, they'll roll to the bottom of the mountain," Keating said. Assistant Josh Brown blindfolded the groggy animal, holding her head erect by the horns. Keating collected a snip of hair, a vial of blood and a swab of saliva. He counted two growth rings on her horn: she was 2 1/2 years old. Collar number 118, affixed with a radio transmitter and a GPS recording unit, was cinched around her neck. Keating injected the ewe with a drug to bring her out of her stupor. After a few wobbly steps, she ambled off to join the herd.
Bighorn sheep, Ovis canadensis, are a majestic symbol of the mountainous West. They browse at high altitudes and in steep, rocky areas from Texas to British Columbia. Rams' horns curl around their eyes and grow up to 45 inches long. Males butt horns to establish dominance during the fall rut. Ewes sport shorter, spiked horns similar to a mountain goat's. From their first days of life, bighorns are sure-footed enough to scale cliffs too steep for most predators to follow.
Two centuries ago, an estimated 1.5 million to 2 million bighorn sheep lived in North America; today, a mere 28,000 remain. Diseases caught from domestic sheep, competition from livestock for forage, and trophy hunting for their horns caused populations to plummet. Bighorns graze in mountain meadows, habitat that is being lost to expanding forests, which are growing beyond their historic boundaries in part because the wildfires that used to hold them in check have been suppressed. Glacier National Park, home to 400 to 600 bighorn sheep, lists the animal as a "species of concern," that is, at risk of becoming endangered.
To protect bighorns, Keating says, we have to understand them better. That's his mission. Each battery-powered GPS unit records the animal's location every five hours for a year. Then, on a programmed day, the collar drops off; Keating must go find it. "Retrieving a collar with its 1,600 or more stored location points is like Christmas," Keating said. "You never know what you'll find."
In the past few years Keating's collars have recorded a great deal of new information about bighorn behavior in the park, including previously unknown wintering, rutting and lambing sites. The devices have shown that bighorns travel greater distances, up to 20 miles, and visit mineral licks more often than researchers realized. The work has also revealed just how sheep-like bighorns can be. That is, they're creatures of habit. "They seldom explore new habitat," Keating says. They travel to and from their ranges for wintering, lambing and browsing along paths used by the herd for generations.

Kudos to these folks who are so dedicated! I lived in SD for many years and traveled on several occasions to Glacier Park and surrounding areas. We had a few Bighorn Sheep in the Black Hills (South Dakota) also. They are just fascinating to watch, especially if you can observe them for more than a few minutes. Watching the little ones climb is wonderous. They bounce up the rocks like they had springs attached to their hooves. Keep up the great work and thank you!

Here's a zesty variation on the classic French garlic mayonnaise. If you have health concerns about making mayonnaise from raw eggs, consider this statement from the American Egg Board: "There have been warnings against consuming raw or lightly cooked eggs on the grounds that the egg may be contaminated with Salmonella, a bacteria responsible for a type of foodborne illness. Healthy people need to remember that there is a very small risk and treat eggs and other raw animal foods accordingly. Use only properly refrigerated, clean, sound-shelled, fresh, grade AA or A eggs. Avoid mixing yolks and whites with the shell." Alternatively, start with about 1 1/2 cups of good-quality bottled mayonnaise and blend into it the mustard, garlic, lemon juice and zest, and thyme.

Just noticed this, and if this has been brought up before I apologize - but is there a reason that permissions have not been enabled to edit ones own posts? For a game of mine I intend to run there will be a good bit of book-keeping needed to keep track of accurate mechanics and the ability to alter the Original Post would be most useful.
Thanks in advance for your responses everyone.

In the link above is a video of a Mr. Michael Tanner of the Cato Institute stating that outsourcing is good for America. He says that outsourcing gives entry to the US companies that outsource into the markets of the country where the jobs are outsourced to.
Is this guy an idiot or not? I say idiot, because of his statement I noted above.
If outsourcing gives entry into markets then where are the Fords, Dodges, and Chevys being sold in China? I don't think there are many, if any, sold there. He also states that the 'money' comes back to the US. From what? The only money that would come back to the US is the profits, which is considerably less than the cost of the goods. If an article of clothing was made in the US from US grown fibers for a US company then 100% of the cost of the article of clothing would stay in the US, not just the profits.
Wow...this is not what I read in their Cato Journal....
The link is now dead. Anyhow read this if you will.
If an article of clothing was made in the US from US grown fibers for a US company then 100% of the cost of the article of clothing would stay in the US, not just the profits.
And that cost would be considerably more. Consider the mass-market clothing that is made in America; Bill's Khakis and certain Brooks Brothers items come to mind. Very good stuff. But imagine if those were the only things American consumers had to choose from. Is it really fair to those Americans who can't afford to spend $100 on a pair of pants to deprive them of the ability to buy a pair at Wal-Mart or Old Navy for $15 or $20?
If outsourcing gives entry into markets then where are the Fords, Dodges, and Chevys being sold in China? I don't think there are many, if any, sold there.
On the contrary, Buick is one of the most sought-after car brands in China. The current Buick models were actually designed primarily with Chinese buyers in mind (the rounded, "fat" shape; the abundance of chrome that many Americans would consider tacky).
Consider the case of Lenovo, the PC manufacturer. It's a Chinese company that has an American headquarters in North Carolina. If you have a problem with, say, Apple products being made in China, do you have a problem with a Chinese company choosing to employ Americans in America? Would it seem silly to you if the Chinese accused Lenovo of shipping Chinese jobs overseas to America?
Free trade and the ability to make use of resources in a lot of different places benefits all of us in ways we take for granted. It's what enables us to buy a new PC for as little as a few hundred dollars; it's what allows us to call a tech support person in India to fix that PC in the middle of the night when the rest of America is asleep. It benefits some people more than others. And some people's lives are made more difficult by it as a result, say a factory worker in Ohio who is laid off.
That's why we should want to invest in job training programs for that factory worker, and why we should want a robust, affordable public education system so that his children will have to skills and knowledge they need to do jobs that didn't exist in their father's time (in part because their father's job will not be there for them). A certain set of people in this country would be content to call the factory worker "lazy" and accuse that kind of investment in human capital of being "spreading the wealth." A better way to look at it is "sharing the gains" of free trade.
Aside from the comments on public education I think you're pretty much spot on.!
Think of education as a national security issue. More important than defense and the economy.
Of course. It's not like I think we should stop educating our kids but I'm more of a charter, private, home school type of guy.
A) That wasn't his argument.
B) Other than making spelling bee champions; what do those models offer which a public school doesn't?
A. I realize that and honestly I wasn't really trying to go off topic.
B. Charter and private schools are better able to get rid of teachers that aren't performing very well or don't put as much effort in to teaching. With private schools you have payed for a service and if you are not getting that service or it is not up to par you can choose to go elsewhere so they must work to retain customers so to speak. With home schooling the parent is directly involved in the child's education.
c. This sub-debate is probably worthy of it's own thread.
We're not doing too bad in the car market:
And that's mostly because autos in China amounts to a still developing market requiring a sophisticated manufacturing and sales/maintenance infrastructure that costs extremely large amounts of cash and time to stand up from scratch. The use of a native manufacturing partner to facilitate an industrial and marketing infrastructure is not unknown. Also not unknown is the use of restrictive tariffs and "safety & quality inspections" of individual imported vehicles and foreign supply chains to force foreign companies out of a market. After all, Toyota started as a local final assembly point for US duece and a half trucks. And GM complained for years about having each civilian vehicle they brought into Japan "inspected" to death, and often rejected for minor cosmetic imperfections (Reportedly, the door edge to body panel gap was a common reason for failing an import inspection.)

It would be great if we had Muse right after Queen's 9 pack. BTW check out my thread (Zoilo's Songs Suggestion)
It would be great if we had Muse right after Queen's 9 pack. BTW check out my thread (Zoilo's Songs Suggestion)
Well more Queen is always nice.
But dont expect any Muse DLC before the new album release (which they are recording right now).
I would love to see
Assassin and Stockholm Syndrome the most!
Really, i only knew
Hysteria, Uprising, and Resistance until about, 3 days ago.
I didn't realize how much i was missing! lol
Blue October
More of:
Three Days Grace
3 Doors Down
Breaking Benjamin
Linkin Park
Death Cab for Cutie
Do have to wait 'til October 2012 for Muse dlc why can't they just release a pack 01 then pack 02 with their newest songs and latest songs.
No, HMX doesn't have to wait until Muse releases album #6 to add more songs to Rock Band. There are plenty of cases of DLC being made available for the game that weren't tied in to any sort of cross-promotion.
I really do want to know what they did wrong when licensing "Hysteria" to piss off the rights holders, because that's the only reason I can come up with as to why we don't have more Muse songs. Yes, Muse's catalog was transfered over to WMG, but we've had a lot of WMG artists as DLC.
May 20th, 2012: 4 long years since HMX released "Hysteria" by Muse. The wait for more Muse DLC has to end at some point, right?
Alternatively, Harmonix DIDN'T piss them off, and just hasn't gone back.
But that probably hurts too much to consider.
Witticus: "GeeNef speaks to me like schizophrenia, his words touch me where my priest could reach."
Nah I'm pretty sure that Harmonix is planning something really clever since this threads has so many replies.

LeapPad2 Power Read Write Bundle Pink
Letter writing
Children use knowledge of letter names and shapes to write both uppercase and lowercase letters.
Number writing
Children learn to write numbers using proper stroke order.
Reading comprehension
Reading comprehension refers to making sense of written language that a child reads or hears read aloud.
Listening comprehension
Listening comprehension refers to making sense of spoken or written language that a child reads or hears.
Sight words
Sight words are words that cannot be sounded out (the, where, etc.), so they must be learned by sight and memorized.
Phonics rules
Phonics rules can help children pay attention to specific spelling patterns that words have in common and use this knowledge to sound out new words.
Children learn to recognize the defining properties of shapes (such as a square having four sides of equal length and a triangle having three sides) and identify them in different rotations.
Art and drawing
As they draw, children develop spatial reasoning, visual acuity, and hand control, which later helps them write letters.

Model(s): 5BELL-PELG Jamie Young Co.In 1997, Jamie Young Jeter and David Jeter, both artists with a passion for travel, took a day trip to Mexico. There, they filled their car trunk with interesting garden pots they discovered in a roadside shop. When they returned to Los Angeles, they promptly sold the entire haul to a local florist. Recognizing an underserved market, they began to design and produce their own line of concrete flower pots, only to discover that the rustic, hand-crafted quality of the pieces would make unique bases for lamps. With this conversion, the Jamie Young Company was born. David designed the bases and Jamie designed the shades. Their love of travel and desire to understand other cultures took them all over the world discovering ancient art forms, incredible textiles, and an overwhelming desire to create wonderful eclectic designs.

Stunning pendant lamp
Simple yet elegant, the pendant fits beautifully in my remodeled kitchen.I love the hand-blown glass which looks like a cloud. Everyone who has seen them remarks how stunning they are. I bought the white shade for maximum light, although it is very bright at 40 watts so I think the smokey color would have worked too. They are pricey, but worth it.
