My Dad's family all lived in Butte and most were miners- My cousins were all Sullivans and Milligans, my grandfather passed away in Butte from miners consumption having worked underground breathing the dust and eventually it cost him his life. Though its been awhile since I have been back, I have very fond memories of vacations spent in Butte.

I am the son of a Butte miner who was the son of an Irish immigrant miner. I worked during my youth many summers and long holidays for "the company". My generation was well steeped in Butte history, not formally, but through the memories and labor of our fathers, uncles, cousins and neighbors who lived it. Regarding speaking Irish, it was the obvious language to speak if you wanted to get ahead. In the days when the Irish first started emigrating from the west of Ireland to the mines in Butte, speaking their native tongue in Ireland was against the law. The historically cruel and infamous British policies demanded that all Irish citizens speak English. So, it was a practical benefit in Butte to speak English, especially if you had a 'leg up' with that language, as the Irish did. As a third generation miner in my youth, I recall fondly how clever, charming and compassionate these sons of European immigrant miners were. Working mostly with 'old timers' on the 'Explosives Crew' in the open pit mine was the most successful education of my life. I learned, first hand the value of, humor, honesty, safety and stamina. To my parent's dismay, I also learned to curse fluently in several different languages. Even now age 62, the wisdom of those simple, powerful, smart miners has never deserted me. It inspired me to spend much of my adult life traveling and exploring many countries, east and west for their unique cultural and spiritual heritages. While the history of Butte is a sad, hard tale, the benefits of the experience for those of us who lived it have not been forgotten or overlooked. I appreciate now that the world is our family, but Butte is still and forever home.

Does anyone know how much Irish Gaeilic was spoken in Butte? If these people were from the Beara peninsula they were Irish speakers. It's always amazing to me how quickly the Irish dumped their ancient langauge when they got a chance. It happened in the US, and it happened in ireland. It's very unusual for people to hate their native language. Latvians, Lithuanians, Basque, Welsh, French Canadians--all these and others hung onto their language. The Irish didn't.

My grandfather and his brother immigrated from Beara to Butte in the late 1800s, but after his brother died in a mine accident, my grandfather returned to Beara where he married and raised my dad and uncles in Cahermore.

What is agoraphobia?
Comment on this
Read 2 Comments
A phobia is generally defined as the unrelenting fear of a situation, activity, or thing that causes one to want to avoid it. The definition of agoraphobia is a fear of being outside or otherwise being in a situation from which one either cannot escape or from which escaping would be difficult or humiliating. Phobias are largely underreported, probably because many phobia sufferers find ways to avoid the situations to which they are phobic. The fact that agoraphobia often occurs in combination with panic disorder makes tracking how often it occurs all the more difficult. Other facts about agoraphobia include that researchers estimate it occurs in less than 1 percent to almost 7 percent of the population and that it is specifically thought to be grossly underdiagnosed. What causes agoraphobia?There are a number of theories about what can cause agoraphobia. One hypothesis is that agoraphobia develops in response to repeated exposure to anxiety-provoking events. Mental-health theory that focuses on how individuals react to internal emotional conflicts (psychoanalytic theory) describes agoraphobia as the result of a feeling of emptiness that comes from an unresolved Oedipal conflict, which is a struggle between the feelings the person has toward the opposite-sex parent and a sense of competition with the same-sex parent. Although agoraphobia, like other mental disorders, is caused by a number of factors, it also tends to run in families and for some people, may have a clear genetic factor contributing to its development.

The idea behind multi-level marketing (MLM) is simple. Imagine you have a product to sell. You could do what most businesses are doing, either sell it directly to consumers or find others who will buy your product from you and sell it to other people.
MLM method require that you recruit people not only to buy and sell your product, but who will also recruit people who will not only buy and sell your product but also recruit people.
Multi-level marketing is a system of marketing which puts more emphasis upon the recruiting of distributors than on the selling of products. MLM is very attractive, however, because it sells hope and appears to be outside the mainstream of business as usual. It promises wealth and independence to all. MLM is the best, cheapest way to reach customer.

Fans meet Petronio after Houston debut
By Molly Glentzer | January 14, 2013 | Updated: January 16, 2013 5:01pm
The Stephen Petronio Company awed a Wortham Theater audience with their sharp, quicksilver dancing in the richly layered "Underland," set to Nick Cave's darkly ironic, Victorian punk music.
Minutes after the show, their Houston debut, the dancers further impressed of the Society for the Performing Arts' young professionals group by still being on their feet — and full of energy — at a party in the lobby of the Houston Ballet Center for Dance.
Choreographer Petronio said he's working on their next big piece, "Like Lazarus Did." Here's hoping we don't have to wait so long to see the 19-year-old company again.
Among those enjoying the action: SPA dance series underwriter Phoebe Tudor, Shelly Power, Toby Kamps, David Lake and C.C. Conner.

{RECIPE} Mini Banana Muffins
Yesterday I styled an Easter brunch table (that will be up on the blog tomorrow).
I thought what's Easter brunch without some delicious muffins! So here's my mini banana muffin recipe. Thank goodness this recipe makes a lot, because I promise you will not be able to eat just one!
Makes 6 dozen mini-muffins or 1 dozen large muffins
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 2 sticks (1 cup) melted butter
- 1 cup sugar
- 3 large eggs
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- 4 ripe bananas
Preheat oven to 350 degrees and line muffin pan with paper muffin cups
Mix the dry ingredients (flour, baking powder, salt, nutmeg, cinnamon) in a large bowl and set aside.
Melt the butter and let it cool. If you want some extra flavor, you can brown the butter.
Add the melted butter to a bowl with the eggs, sugar, and vanilla. Beat with an electric mixer until smooth -- about a minute. Mash the bananas and stir them in. If your bananas aren't soft, you can just put them in the microwave, one at a time. Cook on high for 30 seconds, then turn it over and cook for another 30 seconds.
Add the mixed dry ingredient to the wet, and stir until it just comes together.
Spoon the batter into the muffin tin, filling each cup about three quarters full.
Bake for 15 minutes at 350 degrees. Turn the pan once to help ensure even cooking.
They look great by themselves or you can dust them with powdered sugar.

{DIY} Decorative Wooden Box for Easter
I like to put out festive decorations during the different seasons, and what I love about Easter is the colors. Pastels make me happy and they definitely make me think of spring.
So when I was at Target a few days ago browsing through the $1 bins, I saw this wooden box ($3) and these rub-on transfers ($1). I decided to put the floral transfers on the box, hoping for a kind of shabby chic look and I love how it came out.
All you do is cut out the decorations...
Peel off the back and stick it to the box. Then using your fingernail, a spoon, or any other hard object, rub the transfer so it sticks to the box.
Peel it off and voila! This is seriously the easiest craft to make, and so much fun.
Now I've got some quick spring decor and a place to store my Easter chocolates! :)
For more Easter inspiration, check out these gorgeous Easter parties and free Easter printables on our site.
Happy Easter, everyone! And Happy belated Passover!
I just love this photo from Jennifer M's Easter Party Fun. I couldn't help myself once I saw the little bunny tail. Enjoy and have a great day!

Are costly SSDs worth the money? Enterprise users say absolutely
At 18 times the cost of hard drives, solid-state disk drive purchases need to be strategic, however
Computerworld - With 5,000 employees and 280 branch offices, Associated Bank is a prime example of a midsize business with big data demands.
After acquiring another bank in 2006, its storage area network (SAN) grew from 17TB to 300TB in less than a year. Since then, because more applications have come online and because of the need to comply with federal regulations requiring more data retention, the SAN has grown to 900TB, or 52 times its original size.
Dan Marbes, a systems engineer at the Green Bay, Wis.-based bank, decided to try solid-state drives (SSD) to increase the performance on I/O-hungry applications, while reducing his spindle footprint.
He bought three SSDs to serve as top-tier storage for business intelligence (BI) applications on his SAN. The flash storage outperformed 60 15,000-rpm Fibre Channel disk drives when it came to small-block reads.
However, when Marbes used the SSDs for large-block random reads and any writes, "the 60 15K spindles crushed the SSDs," he said, demonstrating that flash deployments should be strategically targeted at specific applications.
SSDs use nonvolatile NAND flash memory chips, which are cheaper than DRAM chips but are still as much as 18 times more expensive than 15,000-rpm Fibre Channel or serial SCSI (SAS) drives, according to Gregory Wong, an analyst at market research firm Forward Insights. But prices continue to fall, mostly in response to consumer adoption of solid-state drive and NAND flash card technology, which ultimately affects the cost of data-center-class products.
Pricey purchases
According to the market research firm IDC, the global outlook for client-side SSDs -- those used in consumer products such as laptops and tablets -- is expected to grow roughly tenfold in five years, from 11 million units in 2011 to 100 million units in 2015. The use of NAND in 256GB SSDs is forecast to more than double from 19% of all NAND used in SSDs in this year to 42% in 2015. Further, demand for 512GB SSDs is expected to grow from a 0.3% portion in 2011 to 8% in 2015, also underscoring the growing interest in higher density SSDs.
Wong expects mass adoption of SSDs by consumers won't occur until the price has reached about $1 per gigabyte, some time in the second half of 2012. The more consumer NAND flash that is purchased, the lower the overall price of flash products, even in the data center.
Currently, the price for NAND flash in an SSD form factor is about $9 per gigabyte for high-end, single-level cell (SLC) flash and $3 per gigabyte or multilevel cell (MLC) flash. A new class of MLC, called enterprise MLC or eMLC, can withstand up to 30 times more writes than consumer-grade MLC flash technology can, but it also costs about 20% more, Wong said.
In comparison, a Fibre Channel or SAS drive costs 50 to 60 cents per gigabyte.
Many array manufacturers, such as EMC and Hitachi Data Systems, offer an SSD option, and are able to fill array drive slots with SSDs in 2.5-in or 3.5-in hard drive form factors. Some vendors also offer automated tiering software that migrates the most frequently accessed data to the SSDs, while keeping less critical data on lower-cost hard drives.
When it comes to PCIe NAND flash cards, like those sold by Fusion-io, Texas Memory Systems, Micron or Virident Systems, which can be used in all-flash arrays or in application servers themselves, prices can go through the roof, but so does performance thanks to the higher speed interconnect and the proximity of the flash storage to the server processors.
Even so, not everyone "gets" why flash-based PCIe cards are so expensive. Chris Rima, supervisor of infrastructure systems for the Information Services Department at Tucson Electric Power, a subsidiary of UniSource Energy Corp., paid only half of the retail price for flash cards to accelerate the performance in his company's NetApp 3170 NAS arrays. That means he paid $30,000 for each card.
Tony Edlebrock, senior systems administrator at Tucson Electric, said NetApp's flash cards, called Performance Acceleration Modules (PAM), boosted the performance of his PeopleSoft and Oracle customer care and billing reporting system to the point that it cut the nightly batch process in half, from eight and 12 hours to four to six hours.
"The nice thing about flash cache is you just put them in and they begin to improve performance everywhere. Protocol latency went down and throughput shot up," Rima said. "I just don't get why they're so expensive."
According to NetApp, using its PAM flash cards in its NAS arrays makes it possible to reduce the number of disk drives by as much as 75% while achieving the same or better performance.
Flash strategies, use cases
However, because of the exorbitantly high cost of some PCIe-based flash cards, their purchase should be based on multiple business use cases, not a single task, Rima said.
Tucson Electric Power uses its six flash cards on the front end all of its PeopleSoft and Oracle databases. The cards also act as front-end cache for two-thirds of Unisource's 500 VMware virtual machines (VM), GIS mapping systems as well as databases that manage power outages. The cards hold from 40TB and 60TB for every two NAS servers, which are configured as a cluster.
In 2012, Tucson Electric might purchase all-SSD storage arrays from Nimbus Systems, similar to storage systems that eBay rolled out earlier this year, Rima said.
When eBay had problems meeting the I/O storage demands of business units starved for more virtual machine (VM) deployments, the online auction site's quality assurance division had an idea: swap out hard-disk-drive-based arrays with SSD storage.

Philo, Femaleness, and Allegory
To establish the background for the interpretation of Paul, I would like first to briefly consider the writings of Philo (see also Boyarin 1993). I should make it clear that I am not claiming that Philo is the background for Paul, but only that he provides a background for my reading of Paul, that is, that certain themes which are explicit in Philo seem to me to be useful for understanding inexplicit moments in Paul's texts. The myth of a primal androgyny, a pre-lapsarian state before difference, was very widespread in late antiquity, particularly among platonists in the Jewish (and then Christian) traditions (Meeks 1973 and Crouzel 1989, 94).
As is well known now—largely through the efforts of feminist biblical critics—the Bible tells the story of the creation of humanity twice. In chapter 1 of Genesis, male and female are apparently created simultaneously, while in the second chapter, man comes first and woman is a secondary creation out of his body (Trible 1978; Bal 1987; Pardes 1989). In the interpretation of Philo, the first Adam is an entirely spiritual being, of whose non-corporeal existence it can be said that he is male and female, while the second chapter introduces a carnal Adam, who is male and from whom the female is then constructed.[14] Bodily gender—structurally dependent, of course, on there being two—is thus twice displaced from the origins of "Man":
Philo here regards the two stories as referring to two entirely different creative acts on the part of God and accordingly to the production of two different races of "Man." [15]"It is not good that any man should be alone." For there are two races of men, the one made after the (Divine) Image, and the one molded out of the earth.…With the second man a helper is associated. To begin with, the helper is a created one, for it says "Let us make a helper for him": and in the next place, is subsequent to him who is to be helped, for He had formed the mind before and is about to form its helper.
Philo here interprets Adam as the mind and Eve as the senses, the supplement, the "helper of the soul." The hermeneutic substance of the interpretation thematizes its own method, therefore, for the interpretation that distinguishes between primary substance and secondary form makes itself possible as an interpretation of the relation between Adam and Eve. Put perhaps in simpler language, the interpretation of Adam as spirit and Eve as sense-experience is what makes possible the interpretation of the story, the language of the Adam-and-Eve narrative, as matter to be interpreted by reference to the spirit of its true meaning. Or once more, to reverse the relation, the idea of meaning as pure unity and language as difference is what makes possible the interpretation of Adam as meaning and Eve as language. The nexus of allegoresis and contempt for the senses is tight. In both, a secondary carnal entity, respectively material signs, woman, the senses is contrasted to a primary, spiritual entity: allegorical meaning, man, mind. Significant in this context is the remark of Walter Burkert, that "In post-Platonic thought one can scarcely speak of imitation without assuming that it implies a gradation of kinds of Being, especially since Plato often characterizes the relation of sensible object and idea as mimêsis " (Burkert 1972, 45).
Philo explicitly marks the ontological implications of his interpretative practice: "Now these are no mythical fictions, such as poets and sophists delight in, but modes of making ideas visible, bidding us resort to allegorical interpretation" (Philo 1929b, 125).[16] The biblical story is not mimesis of the visible but representation of the invisible. Given this privileging of the invisible, it is not surprising that for Philo the story of Adam and Eve is one of the creation of sense-perception and its effects on Adam, who was formerly pure mind:
For it was requisite that the creation of mind should be followed immediately by that of sense-perception, to be a helper and ally to it. Having then finished the creation of the mind He fashions the product of creative skill that comes next to it alike in order and in power, namely active sense-perception.…How is it, then produced? As the prophet himself again says, it is when the mind has fallen asleep. As a matter of fact it is when the mind has gone to sleep that perception begins, for conversely when the mind wakes up perception is quenched. (Philo 1929b, 241)
The creation of sense-perception in the state of sleep, while recognized by Philo as a necessity, is profoundly and explicitly unwelcome to him: "But as it is, the change is actually repugnant to me, and many a time when wishing to entertain some fitting thought, I am drenched by a flood of unfitting matters pouring over me" (Philo 1929b, 245–46). And then:
"He built it into a woman" [Gen. 2:22], proving by this that the most proper and exact name for sense-perception is "woman." For just as the man shows himself in activity and the woman in passivity, so the province of the mind is activity, and that of the perceptive sense passivity, as in woman.
And finally, the verse which in the Bible is one of the clearest statements of the non-supplementarity of gender becomes for Philo something else entirely:
"For this cause shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife, and the twain shall be one flesh" [Gen. 2:24]. For the sake of sense-perception the Mind, when it has become her slave, abandons both God the Father of the universe, and God's excellence and wisdom, the Mother of all things, and cleaves to and becomes one with sense-perception and is resolved into sense-perception so that the two become one flesh and one experience. Observe that it is not the woman that cleaves to the man, but conversely the man to the woman, Mind to Sense-perception. For when that which is superior, namely Mind, becomes one with that which is inferior, namely Sense-perception, it resolves itself into the order of flesh which is inferior, into sense-perception, the moving cause of the passions. (Philo 1929b, 255–57)
It is easy to see here how for Philo the theory of the body and the theory of language coincide (Boyarin 1993, 37–42 and 57–60). His allegorical method, which privileges the spiritual sense ("the soul"), is exactly parallel to his anthropological doctrine, which privileges mind over the corporeal. The very necessity for humans to have senses is that which also generates the necessity "to make ideas visible" through the production of myth-like allegories. Both necessities are enacted in the story of the creation of woman, and together they resolve themselves into the "order of flesh." I am suggesting, therefore, that the western discourse of gender that finds its most specific point of origin in Philo owes its existence to the particular synergy of platonistic philosophy and the myths of Genesis. That is, on the one hand, the peculiar configuration of the biblical story which first describes a male-and-female creature, then gives it the name "man," and then reinscribes that very "man" as male, when combined with two peculiarly Greek cultural themes, the devaluation of the belated and the obsession with unity, produced the universal male.[17]
We thus see that the coordination of an allegorical perspective to language and a deep suspicion of human difference whether gendered or enculturated is not accidental at all. The two, in fact, seem on this analysis to be correlates of one another. The central thesis of this book is that the allegorization of the sign "Israel" in Paul is part and parcel of the very conception of difference within which Paul was to found his discourse on gender as well. As R. Howard Bloch has claimed, "We cannot separate the concept of woman as it was formed in the early centuries of Christianity from a metaphysics that abhorred embodiment; and that woman's supervenient nature is, according to such a mode of thought, indistinguishable from the acute suspicion of embodied signs—of representations" (Bloch 1991, 37). One such embodied sign was the sign "Israel," and its own most embodied sign, the seal of circumcision. Not so paradoxically then, Jewishness came to be a gender in much of the discourse of western Christianity, with all Jews (male and female) lumped together with women as the "same" Other. Paul, no less than Philo, sought to overcome that embodiment of the Jewish sign system.[18]

Lyle Overbay's minor deal could become major role

08:23 AM ET 02.02 | At a minimum, Lyle Overbay could potentially offer protection for the Red Sox in case Mike Napoli begins experiencing problems related to avascular necrosis, a disease that results in deterioration and possible death of a bone in the hip caused by a lack of blood flow. But the 36-year-old also could serve as a left-handed bat off the bench and a late-inning defensive replacement for Napoli. All along, the Red Sox have been on the lookout for a left-handed hitter capable of playing both first base and left field, a search that is expected to continue throughout spring training even after the deal with Overbay.
It's very odd to see the Red Sox dumpster diving and the LA teams assimilating all the big contracts and free agents while the Yankees sit on the side lines.
dude is 36 and hasn't been relevant in years-if he is expected to have a 'major role' that is NOT good
He won't even make the team.
He won't even make the team.
if he becomes tough in the hitting spot,,there would questions about his higher numbers,,did he use peds??

I seriously doubt he'll ever play a major role on this or any other team.
Yeah, agreed. I just cannot see Overbay saving the Sox season. If Boston is counting heavily on him, we're screwed.
dude is 36 and hasn't been relevant in years-if he is expected to have a 'major role' that is NOT good
You talking about A-Rod?
I don't think he hurts the Sox and could be a very important reserve!

text: Home Culture 4 Questions With Treme's Wendell Pierce The actor and Clybourne Park producer hopes a play about race makes you laugh in an uncomfortable way. By: Jenée Desmond-Harris Posted: April 20 2012 12:25 PM 0 Wendell Pierce (Andrew H. Walker/Getty Images) The Pulitzer Prize- and Olivier Award-winning play Clybourne Park, which borrows elements from Lorraine Hansberry's groundbreaking A Raisin in the Sun, opened Thursday night on Broadway in New York City at the Walter Kerr Theatre for a 16-week run. The production examines race relations in 1959 and in modern-day Chicago through the story of a changing neighborhood and its black and white residents. Producer Wendell Pierce talked to The Root about the role of art in communicating difficult social messages and what he's doing to benefit underserved black communities in real life. The Root: What's the story that Clybourne Park uses to deliver its message about race? Wendell Pierce: It starts out in 1959, when a house on Clybourne Street in Chicago is sold to an African-American family, and it raises questions: Who is the family selling the house? What was the situation that caused the family to sell the house? Later you see the black family leave, and in 2009, after the neighborhood has changed into an African-American community, you see a young white couple is buying the house. Through their story, you get this hilarious satire about race, real estate, gentrification, everything. TR: You say it's hilarious. But it can be tricky to treat race lightly. How have black and white audiences reacted to the play? WP: Well, satire is not something that's purely for the humor. It's about finding what's profoundly moving in it -- it's about finding the irony and using humor to make a provocative statement. The play is much more complex than just comedy. It's not as monolithic as that. It's multifaceted. The first step always has to be an ability to have the discussions about difficult issues. And once we find a way to do that, ultimately, what we can get back to is the humanity that we all share and how we tend to cloud that understanding. As far as reactions, those friends that I know who have gone, black and white, have said it's so honest and authentic. They've said people in the audience have to laugh but in a very uncomfortable way. And I always feel that's the role of art -- to be the forum for that type of experience in the community. TR: Does producing allow you a better vehicle for creating that type of experience than acting does -- and will you keep doing it? Page 1 of 2 NEXT PAGE > Powered by Livefyre

I decided that a SuperGun is best for me, but I have a few questions:
1. If I have a JAMMA harness and an ATX power supply, do I snip the connector off the power supply or take the wires from the harness and solder them into the connector? I've seen harnesses that have hook loops at the end for power supplies, how would that work?
2. How would I go about setting up audio?
3. What would be an ideal enclosure for a SuperGun that I'm planning to use Neo-Geo controllers with? I've seen small ones that just snap onto the end of a bare board, but I want to enclose the harness and board completely yet make it easy to swap out boards.

Staverton jet museum opens doors for Gloucester History Festival
1:46pm Wednesday 4th September 2013 in News
Volunteers at the Jet Age Museum have announced they plan to open their doors during the forthcoming Gloucester History Festival.
The new, purpose-built museum, which is located on Meteor Business Park on the north side of Gloucestershire Airport, Staverton will be open on Wednesdays and weekends from 10-4pm during the festival period of the 7th to the 23rd September.
Museum trustee, Darren Lewington said: - "Our preview weekends have had an excellent response with more than 1000 visitors attending. Our museum includes a full size replica of the Gloster E28/39, the first Allied jet powered aircraft, which first flew in the city in 1941. It's difficult to argue that jet flight isn't Gloucester's greatest contribution to 20th century history.
"We also have a collection of other Gloster Aircraft Company aircraft on display including several Meteors and the mighty delta winged Javelin. Many people in this County have a connection with GAC and we're proud to be able to tell their story.' The museum is managed and staffed entirely by volunteers, has free on site parking and a cafeteria. Admission is free but donations are welcomed. The latest information about the museum can be found on their website, www.jetagemuseum.org and on their Facebook and Twitter feeds @JetAgeMuseum

Things I liked:The built is great. It is a heavy, solid, and feels great while shooting. The magazine is easy to load and well built. The trigger is a little heavy and long but since it is not a target pistol, it works fine. It has no moving parts, some won't like this, but it allows great use of the CO2. Things I would have changed:The rear sites are a little small for me but I am guessing that is how the original gun has them. Include a second magazine or at least sell them separately. What others should know:For what it is, it is a great gun and you will not be disappointed especially for the price. It's an all metal replica, shoots strong, uses CO2 very well, accurate enough to hit cans, 3" chalk targets, etc. If you are looking for a target pistol with a feather light trigger to shoot dime size grouping, you're looking in the wrong place. Things I liked:The pistol has a great heft and feel. Accuracy at 30 ft was about average. Its solid, reliable, and fun to shoot. Things I would have changed:The rear sight is ...tiny... its no fun trying to line up these loathsome sights. Fortunately, the pistol points well, so it wants to be on target, despite the sights. And so- I'd want the rear sight improved. Also, It wouldn't hurt to make the charging toggle another part to the pistol, rather than just having it cast with the rest of the gun. What others should know:I love Umarex, but they could do just a little better on this one. Things I liked:Looks and feels great! CO2 goes pretty far Got 100 good shots and another 20 fair shots. Things I would have changed:Power and accuracy because they are below average. What others should know:Don't expect this to be great shooting, because it really isn't, its a replica and its really great looking. Buy this for looks and feel and to show off. Not to actually use all the time. Show Other ReviewsCreate an online review and share your thoughts with other customers

About this incidents as we have not renewed the series we have no plans to at the moment and are not filming new episodes -- this time there for the filming mentioned.
Is not for National Geographic channel or future episodes of shark -- Shark net the crew does say that they were there but I think George just just just raise the question -- more and more reality shows are using wild animals some of them are set.
In the -- -- in the wild I know you're opposed to some of this because it changes sort of -- natural course of things so.
Yeah the of course.
People expressed concern relative to the healthy humans than and I guess my -- -- on that is that if people choose to do these acts there accepting that risk and if the occasional person gets injured.
Well they've signed up for that tour.
But the animals -- -- and the feeding of animals.
Again whether it be sharks or other animals.
Results in a fundamental change in their behavior in their ecology.
And then of course in in the abundance of the animals that a particular place which of course is why we feed them -- which is to get from their predictably were.
A user group.
The documentary filmmaker Chris the Fisher defended the filming of this particular episode saying the crew had left the area three days ago.
In your experience and protesters have now taken a social media saying it's because of this group of individuals -- charming the waters.
That led to his death is it possible -- on your shark expertise.
Three days ago -- the waters would sharks still be in that area in -- that area.
Of course for it -- all would depend on.
On how long and how prolonged and how how pronounced the feeding was done you know one time.
Throwing over fish probably not but if it was done for a prolonged period -- and repetitively.
It very well could have attracted animals.
And and of course.
Shark oftentimes stay in an area for.
A period of time so three days would not be wholly unreasonable.
That said I have to register what complaining your question.
You said in fasting the area.
Infestation is something we think about what parasites.
Sharks don't infested area they lived there.
Live there now thank you for correcting -- setting of a different word to describe it I guess inhabiting showing up there because of all the charming.
Yeah and I mean I think your for your five point charges that you know when animals Begin to associate human beings with food it.
On dangerous things can happen George Burgess we really appreciate you coming on to from the Florida museum of natural history thanks so much your expertise this morning six.

Thanks for rating this design!
A basic but sharp logo design that uses the company letter as the focal point. The use of lime green works to add interest to an otherwise relatively straightforward design.
The font is interesting, and benefits from the reflection effect, but is still very readable.

Events for July 24th, 2009
Directed by Anna Boden. US. 2008. R. 120 min.
Fri, Jul 24 thru Thu, Jul 30 -- Roll over to view showtimes.
"There is something undeniably noble and beautiful about the love of sports: the appreciation of grace and excellence for their own sakes, the pleasure of competition, the discipline of training. But the practice of big-time sports is often cruel and corrupt, a business built on the exploitation of young people and the peddling of impossible dreams. This basic contradiction..is also, at least implicitly, a central concern in Sugar, a wise and lovely new film by Anna Boden and Ryan Fleck." More»

John Weissenrieder / Bouchet / Guitar For Sale
Robert Bouchet (1898-1986) brought the refined artistic sensibility of paris in the mid-1900's in the world of the guitar. an accomplished painter prior to becoming a luthier at age 48, he went on to create some marvellous examples of this great instrument. His guitars were treasured by such illustrious players as I. Presti, A. La Goya and John Williams, and today treasured by collectors and aficianados. Their sound and aesthetic that are at once captivating and sophisticated, embodying Parisian Elegance. I produce instruments that follow the form, dimensions, structure and style of Bouchet.
JW Lutherie, Italy
John Weissenrieder was born in pennsylvania, USA, in 1964. After his university studies and a 12 year career as a top professional cyclist, he dedicated himself to lutherie, combining cultivated love of wood and working with his hands with a passion for music.
