Today, we celebrate another over-rated holiday
March 17, 2010 3:07 PM
How many of you out there really know what we are celebrating today? The color green? leprechaun's? The pot o' gold at the end of the rainbow? Lets add this "holiday" to our long list of reasons that we use to justify our need to binge on alcohol in the middle of the week, go home with a random, and call in sick to work tomorrow.

An ordained minister, Hutchins takes the message of
his music seriously. Backed by a high-powered choir and an enterprising band,
the Grammy-nominated writer, producer and worship leader treats his platform as
a pulpit and his audience as the congregation, fervidly sharing the Gospel with
a revival-inducing gutteral growl on his latest live recording. More
traditional in approach, Hutchins relevantly reminds gospel musicians to
worship, not simply perform.

Why Should You Listen To Us?
Hey fellow guitar player, I would like to take a moment to tell you why we built this site…
First things first: My name is Jeremy and I have been playing guitar for 7 years. I've had several teachers. For the first 5 years I felt that I was progressing reasonably well. At around this time, I had a friend describe his teacher as a "master guitar player" and I was so impressed that I decided to call him up. After talking to him, I thought I would give him a try and shortly after I started taking lessons from him.
I would like to introduce you to my friend and musical mentor Alan Hume. He himself has played guitar for nearly 40 years and has been teaching for over 30. What immediately struck me was his thoroughness and depth of knowledge on any aspect of the guitar/guitar playing.
Fast-forward 2 years => I am still taking lessons from Alan (as one of his 25+ students) and am really happy with how far my playing has come. What continues to impress me is his versatility both as a teacher and as a player. Also his ability to genuinely communicate with his students and help them diagnose and fix ANY technical problem they may have.
I recently asked him "after playing and teaching for so many years, what would you say you were best at?" His answer was improvisation. His personal style of playing is based very much around improv, and so is his teaching, regardless what style the pupil is interested in. This is one of the reasons why his dozens of students are all very in tune with bringing out the musical voices of what they are playing. Alan continually emphasizes that this skill is a large part of what makes a great musician "great".
One thing that him and I have both talked about is how few jam tracks there are that help you really build up your improv skills in lots of different genres of music.
Now don't get me wrong, there are thousands and thousands of jam tracks online…it's just that most of them are really basic and many genres are passed right over. Also, a large portion of improvisation is based on rhythm and many of these tracks lack an interesting rhythmic component.
This is where GuitarJamTracksHQ fits in. Alan has spent the past 6+months creating top quality jam tracks for a variety of genres designed to help all guitar players improve their improvisational chops (regardless what genre they like or what their abilities are).
I am trying to help him get these jam tracks out to the world because I believe in them and their ability to help all guitarists get better as much as he does. I hope to be able to post lots of his key lessons here as well so please visit often and subscribe.
Because of the significant investment of time and money that went into creating these jam tracks, we cannot afford to give them away completely free, but we do want to ensure they are affordable for the masses. Also, we want you to know the quality of the products you are buying so we urge everyone to download our FREE Blues Guitar Jam Track BEFORE buying our set.
Our promise to you is that you will always get awesome, super useful information from this site and should you decide to purchase these jam tracks, you will get an excellent product that will really help your playing improve!
More On Our Jam Tracks…
Whether you're just looking for one unique track to practice a certain scale over, or a set that will help you learn all your major modes, you have to check these out.
For each track you purchase, you are going to get a breakdown of the chords used in the track plus some scale diagrams and pointers for how to use these scales over the different chords in the progressions. You will also get metronome readings for each track and lots of other great info to help you get the most out of your jamming!
Not only that, but if you sign up for our mailing list when you purchase the tracks, we will periodically send you extra tips/information/strategies and other supplementary material so you can keep improving and keep learning with these tracks! As we upgrade our recording rig, we will also send you updated versions of some of the tracks. This is just another way that Guitar Jam Tracks Headquarters is different.
This set consists of 7 tracks (one in each of the Major modes) in the key of C. These tracks are hot off the mixing board and are only available here. Yes, we know you can find some jam tracks online for free…but we can tell you right now that these are not going to sound like what we're offering you here! If you don't believe us, have a listen to the clips below for yourself.
*We have included sample solo clips (for the 1st and 2nd tracks) so you can hear how great it can sound to play over top of these tracks! We are working on the rest of them and hope to have at least one sample jam for each track very soon (Please check back).*
(All Jam Tracks/Clips From GuitarJamTracksHQ.com, Whether Paid Or Free, Are COPYRIGHT©Alan Hume SOCAN 2012. All Rights Reserved.)
Hopefully at least some of the clips you just heard made you want to jam along. Keeping in mind how much time went into recording/mixing/mastering these tracks, we want to offer them at a fair price that should be well within most musicians' budgets.
While you are more than welcome to buy 1 or more tracks separately, we urge you to consider the whole set; not only because it provides a more complete picture of the major modes, but because there is enough variety to keep you busy for a LONG time. As a guitar player, you want to avoid getting into a creative rut. The way to do this is to have enough variety in your jams/what you play that you're never hung up playing the same thing for too long. There is so much variety in this set that it's pretty safe to say that if you are in a rut, trying your hand at all these tracks could help you get out of it!
As A Special Limited-Time Introductory Price, we are offering the complete 7 track set for only
$14 $9.97.
For this price you get instant access to download the mp3 tracks (we are working on making them available in other formats as well) and a PDF eBook loaded with great lesson content to help you get the most out of them. You'll also continue to get free upgrades and content if you join our mailing list.
If you are looking for individual tracks, they are available for $2 each. Just like with the set, you will also get all the corresponding scale diagrams and other lesson content for each track you purchase.
As well, like anything you buy from us, these tracks are covered by our 30 day unconditional guarantee! If for any reason you are unsatisfied with these jam tracks after trying them out for 30 days, let us know and we'll give you a 100% refund.
Hopefully by now you have started to realize that we really care about every person that visits our site/buys our products. With that being said, we use FastSpring.com as our payment processor because we think they offer the best service for you as a customer (and they really make our lives easier as well). Paying with FastSpring is completely secure so you never have to worry. Their staff are also some of the nicest people around…so if there is ever any problem, rest assured that it'll be taken care of! If you have any questions, please visit their website before purchasing.
Also, feel free to check out these videos of our friend José jamming over a couple of these tracks. If you'd like to hear some more, please visit our Featured Artists Page.

An international team of zoologists has discovered a gorgeous new species of lizard in southern Vietnam.
"The lizards were well known by the Vietnamese and scientists as well, but until now they were confused with another blue lizard species known from Myanmar and Thailand. By a genetic comparison, the German-Russian research team revealed that the Vietnamese lizards are a distinct new species", said Timo Hartmann, PhD candidate at the Museum Koenig's Herpetology Department and lead author of a study published in the journal Zootaxa.
Co-author Dr Nikolay Poyarkov of the Department of Vertebrate Zoology at the Lomonosov University said: "our finding highlights the importance of using new methods like DNA-barcoding in today's science."
The new species belongs to the genus Calotes, measures up to 10 cm in length, and has spines on its back.
"To observe the new species no exhausting march into the remote rainforests of Vietnam is necessary. These lizards seem to have arranged themselves well with humans, even in the center of the metropolis Ho Chi Minh City one can find them within parks and flower beds", added co-author Peter Geissler, also PhD candidate at the Museum Koenig's Herpetology Department.
The species was named Calotes bachae after Rike Bach from Bonn, Germany, in gratitude for supporting Peter Geissler during several fieldtrips in Indochina.
Males of C. bachae impress with their astonishingly rich coloration. During the mating season, their azure heads shine bright like in a contest, just to impress the females.
C. bachae can also reduce their play of colors, similar to the well-known chameleons. For example, at night they are inconspicuously dark and brownish.
"The full species richness of our planet is not nearly recorded yet", added study senior author Dr Dennis Rödder, Head of the Herpetology Department at the Museum Koenig.
"This latest discovery is the most-recent highlight of a whole series of new reptile and amphibian species discovered by scientist of the Museum Koenig and the Lomonosov University in the last 20 years," concluded study senior author Prof Wolfgang Böhme, former head of the Herpetology Department at the Museum Koenig.

The Critical Importance Of Business Ethics For Effective Leadership
Download Now
Date Added: Dec 2010
Format: PDF
Leadership in business must set the standard and "Walk the talk" when it comes time to ethical behavior. There can be no compromise of ethics. There can be no "Waiver of ethics." A leader must constantly keep his or her actions above reproach. If leaders are committed to that high standard, there will be no more Enron, WorldCom, Tyco, and Adelphia ethical meltdowns. Knowing what is right is very important to personal and business ethics. Doing what is right is absolutely critical to personal and business ethics.

Eigenvalues and eigenvectors
|The English used in this article or section may not be easy for everybody to understand. (April 2012)
Linear algebra talks about functions, which are often called transformations. In that context, an eigenvector is a vector -- different from the null vector -- which does not change direction in the transformation (except if it turns the vector exactly around). The vector may change its length, or become null. The value of the change in length of the vector is known as eigenvalue.
Basics[change | change source]
If there exists a square matrix called A, a scalar λ, and a vector v, then λ is eigenvalue and v is the eigenvector if the following equation is satisfied:
In other words, if matrix A times the vector v is equal to the scalar λ times the vector v, then λ is the eigenvalue of v, where v is the eigenvector.
An eigenspace of A is the set of all eigenvectors with the same eigenvalue together with the zero vector. However, the zero vector is not an eigenvector.[1]
These ideas often are extended to more general situations, where scalars are elements of any field, vectors are elements of any vector space, and linear transformations may or may not be represented by matrix multiplication. For example, instead of real numbers, scalars may be complex numbers; instead of arrows, vectors may be functions or frequencies; instead of matrix multiplication, linear transformations may be operators such as the derivative from calculus. These are only a few of countless examples where eigenvectors and eigenvalues are important.
In such cases, the concept of direction loses its ordinary meaning, and is given an abstract definition. Even so, if that abstract direction is unchanged by a given linear transformation, the prefix "eigen" is used, as in eigenfunction, eigenmode, eigenface, eigenstate, and eigenfrequency.
Eigenvalues and eigenvectors have many applications in both pure and applied mathematics. They are used in matrix factorization, in quantum mechanics, facial recognition systems, and in many other areas.
Example[change | change source]
For the matrix A
the vector
is an eigenvector with eigenvalue 1. Indeed,
On the other hand the vector
is not an eigenvector, since
and this vector is not a multiple of the original vector x.

Budget cuts causing more strain in Spain
Demonstrators raise their hands in protest against spending cuts and the government of Mariano Rajoy on September 25, 2012 in Madrid, Spain.
Today the government of Spain is expected to lay out yet another new budget with even more cuts in it.
The government is trying to avoid asking for a full-fledged bailout like Greece. But there have been big protests this week about the cuts that are likely.
The round of austerity measures are expected to include a limit on early retirement in Spain, a freeze on public sector wages and a new tax on greenhouse gas emissions to try to raise more government revenue.
The measures are necessary as Spain continues to struggle to get its budget at a level that its European partners -- i.e. Germany -- want. But residents fear that the cuts, instead of helping Spain, will only make the economic situation there worse.

Q: When are standing ovations a proper expression of appreciation? Are they meant to express appreciation for the musical composition itself or for the musicians performance of it? Standing ovations seem to have become the norm at recitals and chamber music performances, etc. and no longer seem to be reserved for truly exceptional performances.
A: When audiences are moved by a performance, they applaud it, often rising to their feet to show their true appreciation. You would have to interview each to find out what he or she is applauding. Usually, it is for the performance of the music, although compelling music, when performed well, is part of the appreciation. There is no accounting for what an audience considers exceptional, so if you are on the receiving end, simply be happy if an ovation is sent your way.

It was her necklace that caught my eye. She stood in the lobby, sorting out something about lost luggage with the man at the front desk. I was alone and so was she, unless you count her stunning blue quartz and amethyst travel companions. I first noticed her at the airport, sunglasses on with a summery dress blowing in the breeze. She seemed happy then, but now she looked upset. I followed her to the café and put on my best kindstranger-to-the-rescue face.
"Is everything okay?" I asked.
She exhaled and turned to face me. I like to think that her smile was one of pleasant surprise. "They lost my bag. My sales presentation. My samples," she said. "I was going to work all weekend, but it looks like my plans have changed."
"I assume that means you're free for dinner."
One conversation and a lost weekend in the sun was how we started. Years later we are still together, and she still has that necklace.
Whenever she wears it, I'm reminded of the first time we met. Every time she puts on those blissful blue quartz stones and amethyst accents, I can almost feel the soft tropical breeze wash over us. It was an unforgettable trip that sparked a lifelong romance. But the best souvenir has been the years we spent together since we got back.

Twins' opening-day lineup includes Ryan Doumit in right field
Get the 1500 ESPN SportsWire delivered to your inbox daily, and keep up with all the news in Twin Cities Sports
Minnesota Twins manager Ron Gardenhire officially revealed his lineup to reporters on Thursday for Friday's season opener against the Baltimore Orioles (2:05 p.m., 1500 ESPN:
CF Denard Span
SS Jamey Carroll
C Joe Mauer
DH Justin Morneau
LF Josh Willingham
RF Ryan Doumit
3B Danny Valencia
1B Chris Parmelee
2B Alexi Casilla
SP Carl Pavano
The only mild surprise here is Doumit, who played 25 innings in right field during the Grapefruit League schedule. Trevor Plouffe and Ben Revere also saw time in right field, and it's likely Gardenhire will rotate all three depending on pitching match-ups, and depending on when Doumit catches.
The Twins will face Orioles right-hander Jake Arreta, who owns a 4.88 career ERA in 219 2/3 innings.

Rockwall guard Austin Grandstaff announces commitment to Ohio State
Rockwall junior guard Austin Grandstaff announced through his Twitter account Sunday afternoon that he has committed to Ohio State.
The 6-5 Grandstaff averaged 27.1 points, 6.9 rebounds and 3.1 assists this season. He helped Rockwall, which went 0-12 in district a year ago, to a second-place finish in 12-5A. He was later named the district MVP.
Grandstaff is the 30th-ranked recruit in the class of 2015, according to Rivals. He was named to SportsDay's All-Area first-team in March.
Grandstaff chose Ohio State over offers from Arizona, Georgetown, Oklahoma and SMU.

11-year-old wins Sunrise Stampede 5K
FORT PIERCE - It's not every day that the winner of a 5K road race with more than 75 runners is an 11-year-old.
But last Saturday, 11-year-old Fort Pierce resident Cameron Slack won the overall title — besting many older runners — at the Sunrise Stampede 5K in Fort Pierce.
The budding tennis star uses running to improve his fitness for tennis and usually only runs one race a year. His 21-minute, 56-second 5K at the Sunrise Stampede beat his time from last year by more than a minute.
Q: How did you get started running?
A: My mom loves running, so I joined her.
Q: Why do you enjoy running?
A: It's a mental and physical challenge.
Q: What are your best times?
A: 6:27 mile and 21:56 5K.
Q: What was it like to win the 5K last Saturday against many older and more experienced runners?
A: It was thrilling! I was so excited most of the race, I didn't think I could keep it up.
Q: How frequently do you compete in running races?
A: Once a year.
Q: How do you train?
A: Usually, before a race, I do sets of miles and a 5K practice run.
Q: I understand you play a lot of tennis. How does that translate to running?
A: There is a lot of starting, stopping and sprinting in tennis. It goes on for the whole match, which can go for an hour or two. Plus tennis is a very mental sport. All that helps me in running. The distance running helps me outlast my opponent on the court.
Q: What's the hardest part about running?
A: I get pretty nervous before a race, which sometimes makes my stomach hurt.
Q: What are your goals?
A: I'd like to run a 5-minute mile some day. Most of the time, though, I focus on school and tennis. I'm going for all A's and to keep moving up in the 12-and-under (U.S. Tennis Association) rankings for Florida.

Sorry – I messed up the timing of weekend social. It's appearing a bit late!
My only plan for the weekend is to sleep. Sleeeeeeeeeep.
Sounds like a good idea. Besides which; if you step outside a big block of ice may form around you….
I don't think this is the first time either is it rOb.
Mmm, possible.
I had a schools group in for the last 2 days. How do teachers keep up day after week? Really. My hat is off to them.
Messing up the time? Crime of the century – NOT! Really appreciate what you and lprent etc do in respect of the TS. Enjoy a really long, long sleeeeeep. You (the collective one) deserve it.
Jazz Festival – Rufus Wainwright at the Opera House. Added bonus is that it's much, much cheaper than going to opera at the Opera House.
I noticed it's a while since I read Iamupnorth – seems the last a year ago. Surely it's not that long. I miss reading good commenters like this person.
gaaah! didn't even realise the weekend had started..

So...I'm sitting here trying to write, listening to the three ladies to my right talk about nothing in particular. I have no real theme in mind. Hence, the rambling. I've been posting every day for over a year and a half now. I always wondered if I would run out of words. Am I? Some sites say women speak 20,000 words a day (compared to a man's 7,000) so how could I possibly run out of words? Well, if your mind is consumed with teaching your kids how to read and processing the deep thoughts running through your finite brain, then it's pretty much mush that starts coming out. I can't even seem to finish a simple knitting project!
But I'm ok with that. It's a new month and even a new season. This week we officially enter into our neutral zone of our sabbatical. Up until this point, we've still been doing some work stuff...fund raising and sharing with people here about the ministry in Africa. It all comes to a screeching halt this week. We've rested here and there, but now we will start a deliberate rest, disengaging from pretty everything but our family. I think I'm almost giddy with excitement. At the same time, discipline will be kicking in to avoid checking email, facebook, or anything that might hinder that rest. I thank you for any prayers lifted up for us!

Alumni, MFA in Creative Writing Program
I had a very positive overall experience at Goddard. I'm a great fan of Harry Potter; and Goddard was my "Hogwarts." I'm a playwright and I wrote a musical for my thesis project. I owe a great debt to my two advisors. I was allowed to chart my own direction, learn from my mistakes—but always with the knowledge they were there to catch me when I fell, or set me upright and send me on my way again. The residencies were short (too short), intense, but full of laughter, tears, and camaraderie. I made friends I will have forever. I entered Goddard saying, "Why am I here? I'm not a writer." I left saying, "I am a writer, and I do belong."

Hotel tax exemption hurts Cline Shale communities
Smaller communities are losing revenue because of an exemption in the hotel occupancy law. And cities in West Texas, those included in the Cline Shale oil boom map, will lose a lot more if the law is not tweaked.
Bill Lavers, executive director of Development Corporation of Snyder, and Sweetwater Mayor Greg Wortham testified in front of the Ways and Means Committee of the Texas House of Representatives on Monday, expressing their support in House Bill 56, which will get rid of the 30-day exemption.
"To repeal the 30-day hotel occupancy tax, you know when somebody stays more than 30 days it's not taxable," Lavers said. "Our point was, in these smaller rural markets, the hotels basically are being used as apartments."
And that's without an oil boom. With the Cline Shale showing a potential of holding 30 billion barrels of recoverable oil, housing in the affected communities will be an issue.
Many, Lavers said, will opt to go the transitional way and rent motel rooms for extended periods of times.
The Texas Apartment Association's question during the hearing, according to Lavers, was whether it will be construed as a taxable event if they rent out corporate apartments.
"Well if the members of the apartment association would get out to these rural markets and build apartments, then we wouldn't have people using hotels as apartments," Lavers said. "In an oil field town, we're not getting revenue we should because a lot of these are booked by corporations and they're not paying a tax if they book it for more than 30 days."
According to the state comptroller's office, a tax is imposed on a person who pays for a room or space in a hotel costing $15 or more each day. Local hotel taxes apply to sleeping rooms costing $2 or more each day. The tax covers hotels, motels and bed-and-breakfasts, as well as condominiums, apartments and houses rented for less than 30 consecutive days.
In 2012, the tax exempt revenue of hotels in Snyder came up to $1,154,320 and Lavers said the combined lost tax revenue for the city (county and state taxes included) was $173,148 — tax exempt from Sweetwater the same year was just over $2 million; lost tax revenue was $305,655.
Lavers said the unintended consequence of the exemption is "oil field companies booking all these rooms and us not getting tax revenues."
"On the tourism side, (state legislators) don't want to put something in effect that deters people from coming and visiting Texas," Lavers said. "Ours is because we don't really have the housing in these smaller markets and these conversations are not happening in Austin because there are apartments, condos and everything there and that's where people want to develop more apartments."
According to the Institute for Economic Development at the University of Texas, in the Eagle Ford Shale in south Texas, "approximately 77.5 percent of the hotels studied were 90 percent booked by people planning to stay for 30 or more days. Researchers found this trend causes an economic burden for those communities because these long-term guests are not required to pay the hotel occupancy tax."

Saloman and Lorenza Gasca went missing Sunday as they drove from their son's home in Katy to another family gathering about 20 miles away. Turns out the couple drove all the way to Pensacola, Florida, instead where they were pulled over by a police officer who ran their license plate and realized they were missing from Texas.
Sal Gasca is the couple's son and is on the way to Florida to pick-up his parents.
"Not in my wildest dreams did I ever think they would end up in Florida. My mom has always been very lucid and has her bearings about her and my dad has always been a bit on the stubborn side. My mom said she kept telling him that 'none of this looks familiar, I think we're lost' and he was insistent that 'we're okay, we're okay' and they just continued driving."
The Gascas only stopped for gas on the trip and didn't have anything to eat for nearly two days. Sal Gasca says the last couple of days have been hard.
"We're just happy that we got a happy ending. We have them back. I guess it's not really going to hit me until I actually have them and we actually see them and it really hasn't hit me that this is over until we finally see them and get them home."
Gasca says he plans to publically thank local law enforcement agencies for their help in the search later this week.

On The Road Again...! :-)

Stupendous day to hit the road again with my bike! Just a tad on the cool side, but that only helped to keep my sweating down...lol.
I looked a bit kaleidoscopic riding my maroon Wildwood Diamondback wearing my navy workout shorts, tangerine SPARKPEOPLE *yeah!* t-shirt and my Spartan Green Michigan State University biking gloves, a gift from my sister...GO STATE! We're reviving the good old days of Magic Johnson and Gregory Kelser...who took the nationals by storm back when I was an MSU student...woo hoo!
It was fun to take a new route, 18 miles round trip, even if there WERE a couple of GIGUNDO hills which I had forgotten...! A bit more than I probably should have bitten off for my first longer ride of the season, but after a rest on the other end I was ready to go again. Feeling good and SPENT when I arrived home.
I'd like to share a couple of powerful opinions about the recent shootings in my Binghamton community and the connections to the stress of unemployment:
May all 14 who died in the Binghamton shooting rest in peace and may their family and loved ones find the comfort, guidance and solace needed for resolution as well as the ability to reconnect with their own lives.

Don! 18 miles? I hope your not pushing yourself too hard, too soon , after your surgery. Don't ramp up your efforts so much you make your self too sick to make the trip!
My prayers are with those family's too. They will have a lot of grief to work through . I hope they find peace because bitterness, grudges and hate can eat at a person like Cancer.
The man may or may not of been nuts but he sure lack coping skills. He must of been in a lot of pain to do such a horrible thing. This is a tragedy for his family as well.

--I'm glad you had a nice bike ride! 18 miles is fantastic! Hills are killer, you know about the standing & rocking thing & using the handlebars & your upper body strength to make that hill climbing easier, right!? Sure ya do, what was I thinking!? Around here there's nothing BUT hills-LOL- you're either nearing cardiac arrest in a climb or doing a zilliong miles an hour in descent. HA ha!
Wow, I forgot that was your community.
I have to disagree w/Jibbie on this one .. .it isn't just that someone is nuts. Having had to deal w/the different "services" lately has made ME feel angry, hopeless, depressed, frustrated...all of it. I think people do go nuts after awhile. It's the "straw that broke the camel's back." A person gets desperate & when they try to get help sometimes the attitude of those who are supposed to be helpful is really obnoxious (I've gotten a lot of "I could care less about you" attitudes & treatment lately) ... it just destroys the human inside a body.
It isn't in my nature to harm others, but I think that maybe other people don't know exactly what's going on in their head. Not a lot of people are self-aware & that rage & frustration & so on gets turned outward. I'm not saying it was right or that it wasn't an awful, horrible thing that happened. But I guess having been a "nut" before I somehow "relate" to other "nuts."
What goes wrong in a human that would cause them to take other lives? I don't think any of us will ever know for sure. But I hope the survivors are able to forgive that man - because hatred & grudges destroy us just as much as bullets. Peace & Blessings

People don't go kill themselves and others because they are unemployed. They do it because they are NUTS.
It is just like the stupidity of saying "He killed his wife because she left him." NO....SHE left him because he was NUTS and he came and killed her, because he was NUTS. It had nothing to do with HER.

Glad you made it the 18 miles. You must be feeling better after the Gallbladder operation. The hills can kill you on the first ride of the year. That is the great thing about the stationary bike.
I agree with you on the triadic shooting. My prayers are with all the families.

This isn't about any deals, but rather a mention of a local shop here in Portland carrying great stuff. I was in Mountain Shop today and walked past Six Moon Designs packs + tents, HMG packs and cuben stuff sacks, CiloGear packs, Trail Designs Caldera stoves, Feathered Friends bags, and more like Granite Gear, Integral Designs, and more. It's really nice having a place to actually SEE and touch cottage UL gear. Between this & Next Adventure, we in Portland are extremely lucky to get to browse some excellent UL gear.Note: I have NO connection to this shop other than as a customer, just a plug for a decent local shop (with an online shop, too).
Those stores you mentioned sound nice. We have a store in santa cruz like that called down works. They also carry some hard to find stuff: western mountaineering bags, ula packs, hard to find shoes, caldera cone....It is reaaly nice to pick something up and touch it. Plus they are so helpful.
We discovered a simular shop during our Sonora Pass to Donner Pass PCT hike, located in South Lake Tahoe, Ca. They even have a "Hikers Lounge" and give/take Trail Angel referals. It's called the "Lake Of The Sky Outfitters". They are the best.Mulestomper

4/18 Cubs lineup
Maybe the rain will stay away long enough for the Cubs to finish the series against the Rangers Thursday. Here's the lineup:
DeJesus CF
Castro SS
Rizzo 1B
Soriano LF
Schierholtz RF
Castillo C
Valbuena 3B
Barney 2B
After this series, the Cubs travel to Milwaukee, where they have a roof.

Valbueno is looking better all the time. Some really great plays today. I like it!!!
Hey everyone — Can you believe it? I actually cheered for Marmol today. Wow! No chocolate, no weeping, no "kitty song". What a grand day!!! Beautiful game.
Another thing: Russell!!! He is doing a superb job. He slips in there and gets the job done.
o yeah!! good job barney staying 0fer…… why can't we have more player like him… gee the best player in the MLB because he fields his position well… there isn't anything else needed………… *sarcasm*
I hereby nominate Petrey to be the new Cub's manager. His knowledge of baseball is astronomical – the way he understands the unimportance of defense which saves run after run with double play after double play – the way he gives his injured players the chance to get back into the game when they haven't had a hit for exactly 2 games – he's the man for the job – would anyone like to second my nomination?
Has anyone noticed Valbuena? Yes he is only hitting 222, but he has 8 walks with that for a OBP of 364. His 1 HR and 5 RBI's may not be too impressive, but the guy comes to play the game. My hope is he continues just like he is doing, hitting lower in the line up makes it look more impressive to me.
Sherholtz has been more than average OF thus far. He may be the bonus FA signing.
Villanueva, enough said. #1 starter after 3 starts.
Wood, who would have believed his start this year?
Navvaro, not hitting great, but two PH HR's, one a game winner. My concern here is defense; He had a passed ball and a record setting 5 Wild Pitches in one inning by the Cubs pitching in one inning. Some of those had to be blocked.
Barney is back, thats a positive big time. Sad for Lillibridge, but he showed nothing.
The Cubs have lost three games by the bullpen, maybe 4?? Those three games put them over 500 right now, despite slow starts from Feldman, Soriano, Rizzo, Barney, Marmol, Jackson, Navarro, Hairston, Lillibridge, Camp, so there may be some hope for a decent season once it warms up.
Also must take into consideration after the Pittsburgh series, the next 17 games were against playoff teams from last year. The Cubs have competed. The two rain outs may be in their favor due to the slow start.
Nice comment Jasper, we can hope for only a decent season at best. Valbuena and Schierholtz have been pleasant surprises but only because we set the bar so low?? Just saying that although they have played well to date we dare not say they are capable of the production needed for a good season. But decent, WE'LL TAKE DECENT, right? For now anyway…..but we fans deserve yearly playoff contending teams. Baby steps I suppose is the way to go while developing the minors. I read today that the Cubs should be a primary player for David Price. If we can develop a majority of postion players then the Cubs can SPEND, SPEND, SPEND on quality pitching!!!
Bring us a winner Theo, Jed and Tom!!!!
Mamma Mia – Ready, Set, Brooms – sweep 'em! I do think that having Barney back results in our strong infield. He has a calming effect on Castro, they work very well together and are able to make double plays look easy. I also think the pitcher feels a comfort zone knowing that Barney is behind him. Rizzo, Castro and Barney make up a mean side of the infield. Valbuena was looking really good today, too. But do we know who will be at 3rd for any length of time?
I LOVE SPAGHETTI AND MEATBALLS! It is a day to celebrate and I am cheerful. Just hope our Cubs can keep us cheerful every day. They did a great job today and that should build their confidence after a few grim days. Onward and upward. You have a good meal, Mamma Mia, and get ready for the next chapter. Love ya.

London attractions: Tate Modern hits headlines following new exhibitions
Published: Saturday 11th of May 2013
The Tate Modern is undoubtedly one of the most renowned of all of the London attractions which explore art and culture in the UK.
It is host to all of the major modern art movements and contains works by many of the world's most famous artists.
These include Picasso, Michelangelo, Da Vinci and Matisse among others. The gallery recently hit the headlines for one of its current exhibitions, which is the first full-scale documentation of the works of Mira Schendel (1919-1988).
Schendel is one of Latin America's most important and prolific post-war artists. Other exhibitions currently on at the Tate Modern include Ellen Gallagher: AxME. The Ellen Gallagher exhibition was also in the headlines this week and explores the concepts of race and beauty.
If you're planning on a trip to the Tate soon, then also be sure not to miss out on the Saloua Raouda Choucair exhibition which explores the amazing work of the Lebanese artist.

Game: Batman: Arkham City
Format: Xbox 360, PS3, PC, OnLive
Developer: Rocksteady Studios
Publisher: Warner Brothers
Rocksteady Studios' second game ever, Batman Arkham Asylum, was surprising on a number of levels. Firstly, it was genuinely surprising that a licensed title could be so good, and secondly it was a massive surprise that such a young team were capable of making a game as phenomenal as Arkham Asylum. After the game won multiple awards, including the inaugural newbreview.com game of the year award, and the studio was snapped up by DC Comics' parent company Warner Brothers, it was inevitable that the studio would be hard at work on another Batman game.
But considering how good Batman Arkham Asylum was it was hard to imagine how they could possibly improve on it. Well, ye of little faith, it turns out that Rocksteady have managed the impossible – not only have they made another great game, but they have made a game that is so good that it has almost rendered Arkham Asylum unplayable in comparison. Bravo Rocksteady. Bravo.
From the outset it is clear that Arkham City is bigger, bolder, and better than its predecessor. From the moment you start the game the developers have gone to every effort to teach you everything you will need in order to survive the night in Arkham City in an entertaining and engaging way.
The city itself may not be the biggest in gaming history, but it is incredibly dense. Almost every other building features a puzzle, courtesy of the Riddler. With over 400 Riddles to solve, and each completed Riddle offering various unlockable items, such as concept art, character models, and short stories, Arkham City is filled to the brim with content.
There is literally something to do on every street, and there are a wealth of side missions to distract you from completing the main story too quickly. These are all too easily picked up thanks to Batman's ability to listen in on private conversations. I lost track of the number of times that I would be travelling across the city with the intention of sticking to the main story, only to find myself spending half an hour trying to solve all of the Riddles that caught my eye on the way.
These side missions range from protecting victims of assault, to battles with established super villains. It is worth noting that no two side missions are exactly the same; one set of missions will have you destroying certain objects that are strewn about the game world, others will have you examining murder victims and looking for evidence that will lead you to the perpetrator, while others simply task you with going to a set place and kicking the living crap out of whoever gets in your way.
For those that are unfamiliar with Batman's combat system, which remains mostly unchanged from Arkham Asylum, the premise is incredibly simple: the key to winning battles is to string together a long chain of attacks without being hit or being interrupted. The trick to performing lengthy combos, and gaining access to special moves, is to carefully time your attacks, and successfully perform counters. Fortunately Rocksteady have included a handy flashing icon that appears above an enemy's head indicating when you need to press the counter button. In Arkham Asylum Batman could only counter one enemy at a time, whereas now Batman can counter multiple enemies at once, resulting in some truly spectacular counters.
The beauty of the game's combat system is that it is incredibly easy to to pick up and play, but there is a tonne of depth, especially when you take into consideration that you can now use a number of gadgets in combat. There are also numerous special enemies, such as the armoured henchmen, that cannot be defeated by conventional means. Yes, you can get through fights by simply button bashing, but in order to excel you will need to master the art of reversing moves, and know every move in your arsenal.
Another key feature of the game comes in the form of Batman's reliance on stealth when facing enemies that are armed with firearms. As Batman is only human he can easily die when coming under sustained fire. In Arkham Asylum there were specific rooms that were dedicated to stealth, whereas Arkham City has entire sections of the City that are basically giant stealth challenges.
As fantastic as the combat is, it pales in comparison to the beauty of the stealth sections of the game. Nothing comes close to the feeling of empowerment that you feel as you slowly pick off enemy after enemy, and watch as the survivors start to break down and cry, trembling at the very thought of you getting your hands on them.
When you start the game you have access to about half a dozen of Batman's gadgets, and by the end you will have a twice that number of weapons in your arsenal. One of Arkham City's biggest strengths, in terms of gameplay design, is the way you are literally transformed as you progress further and further through the game and are able to purchase upgrades, including bullet resistant armour, new special moves, and new gadgets. At the start of the game you may fumble your way through fights and stealth sections, but by the end you will be a fighting machine, obliterating foes left and right.
Batman's main means of traversal is using his cape to glide across the city. This is performed by simply running off of the edge of buildings. You can perform a dive bomb in order to gain more momentum, potentially allowing you to glide across the entire city without ever hitting the floor.
Completing the gliding training missions (which are by far the most tedious thing about the entire game) unlocks a new upgrade for Batman's grapple gun, allowing him to perform a massive boost when launching up to roof tops. This actually proves to be an essential upgrade for later on in the game, so it is advisable that you just grit your teeth and get through the gliding training as soon as you can.
One area that Arkham Asylum fell short on was on the boss fights. While some of them were fairly inventive, overall the boss fights were a repetitious chore more than anything else. Fortunately Arkham City's boss design is substantially better. The boss battle with Mr Freeze in particular is the one of the best boss battles in recent memory. Mr Freeze is able to adapt his defences based on the way you attack him, which means that you have to constantly switch tactics in order to defeat him. For instance, if you use a ledge to jump down on to him, from that point on he will freeze all of the ledges on the level, forcing you to rethink your strategy. On normal difficulty the boss fights are just about challenging enough without ever being frustrating, which is a rare trait these days, while on hard mode they are incredibly difficult, without being cheap.
Completing the game unlocks a new game+ mode that allows you to carry over all of your upgrades and completed Riddler Challenges to a new game. However to offset any advantage you might have, enemies are infinitely more powerful, armed with better weapons from the outset, and your counter indicator is disabled, making countering enemy attacks that much harder.
After you are done with the story mode, you can play through the game's numerous challenge missions. These are broken down in to three categories: combat challenges, which have you fight off four waves of increasingly difficult enemies, Silent Predator, which are stealth based missions, and Campaign missions, which string together a sequence of Combat Challenges and Silent Predator Challenges.
The Campaign Challenges are easily the most challenging as you have a set number of lives, and there are various modifiers included that have both positive and negative effects on you. These range from granting you less health, and having an enemy that cannot be harmed until everyone else is defeated, to granting you regenerating health, or electrified batarangs that take out enemies in one hit.
You can also play custom challenges that allow you to add your own modifiers, if you want that extra level of challenge. All challenge scores are recorded on online leaderboards, which allow you to compare your scores with friends and strangers alike.
New copies of the game come with a download code for playable Catwoman story missions. Catwoman is no mere reskin of Batman, she has her own distinctive character animations and move set, complete with unique weapons. Catwoman is also playable in the game's challenge mode and with two alternate costumes, one based on her costume from the Batman comic book The Long Halloween, and one based on her Batman the Animated Series costume.
Catwoman's missions are fairly short, and tend to revolve around fighting your way through one specific room, or sneaking past armed enemies. As fun as these missions can be, they're not massively important to the game's overall narrative, and those that buy the game second hand shouldn't worry too much about missing out on the Catwoman content.
Of course once the story is completed you can return to Arkham City and continue any pending side missions… or you can just patrol the streets looking for punks to brutalise.
Review Round-Up
Graphics – 5/5: Although I am not a big fan of most of the character designs, Arkham City itself is a beautiful grim and snowy environment. The City oozes character from every brick, and really feels like a nightmarish penal town.
Sound – 5/5: Featuring brilliant performances from the voice actors, including Kevin Conroy and Mark Hamill as Batman and the Joker respectively. The music also manages to be evocative of Danny Elfman's score from Tim Burton's Batman Movies, Shirley Walker's work on Batman the Animated Series, and Hans Zimmer's work on the recent Batman movies.
Gameplay – 5/5: Flawless combat, fantastic stealth, and some light detective work make for a brilliant Batman experience. Once the game's story is out of the way you can dedicate the rest of your life to collecting all of the Riddler's riddles and working your way up the challenge mode leaderboards.
Longevity – 5/5: The game's story mode will take about 10 hours to complete if you ignore all distractions. Meanwhile the sheer number of entertaining Riddler puzzles to solve, and the lengthy challenge mode, really do make this the complete package.
Overall 5 out 5
Rocksteady have managed the impossible: they have taken the definitive Batman experience of Arkham Asylum and improved on it in every possible way. By taking Batman off of Arkham Island and throwing him in to the dingy streets of Arkham City Rocksteady have made not only the finest Superhero game, but one of the best games of this generation.

I have decided to start a new diary to mark the final push to my goal.
I've just got back from holiday and my starting weigh in was 9 st 13! As the title suggests, I am aiming to get down to 9st over the coming weeks - though I expect my ultimate goal may be a little lower than that.
I am definitely better with a lifestyle type diet rather than cutting anything out or restricting myself but I am going to try and do one or two fast days a week (as close to 500 cals as possible) and also eat as clean as possible. I will weigh in on Thursday mornings.
Feeling motivated! LETS DO THIS!

This gets deposited on slope of the mountain ,thereby forming plain. Silt is important because it is the component of loamy soil. Loamy soil is the most fertile soil consisting of mixture of sand, clay, silt and humus. So, silt is important for agricultural purposes.

best be trolling.
I guess it's marginally better than finning the thing and letting the body go to waste.
Most edible shark have almost a steak like taste to them but, cook like a white meat. A fresh black pepper, lemon zest and sea salt rub drizzled with a touch of olive oil char broiled until just cooked all the way threw is the way I like my shark.Not mine but, looks like it would be tasty. Yummy Shark
They do till you realise that there are multiple people in the cage.
What you can't see here is how big the main window is in these cages - a small shark like that can (and occasionally does) poke its head through.
Don't blame the girl for wanting to bail - or maybe she just isn't weighted properly and he's helping her out :)

Lipscomb (0-5)
Jacksonville State (2-3)

Sunday, November 20, 2011
NASHVILLE, Tenn. – Heading into the third game of a five-game road trip, the Lipscomb women's basketball team is set to take on Jacksonville State at Pete Matthews Coliseum for the first time in school history on Monday night in Jacksonville, Ala.
The Lady Bisons enter the 7 p.m. contest looking for their first win of the season after a 0-4 start to the season following Saturday night's 72-54 loss at Alabama A&M. Both Anna Bowers and Hannah Phillips scored in double figures for Lipscomb against the Lady Bulldogs but the Lady Bisons could not overcome 19 turnovers in the loss.
Through the first four games, preseason All-Atlantic Sun conference selection Bowers leads the Lady Bisons scoring at a 11.5 points-per-game clip. Phillips ranks just behind averaging nine points a night and leads the team in rebounding hauling in 6.5 boards per outing.
Set to take on their third Ohio Valley Conference opponent of the season, the Lady Bisons are pacing the A-Sun in three-point shooting making 35.5 percent of attempts beyond the arch. Lipscomb ranks third in three-pointers made in the league averaging 5.5 per tilt.
The opponent: Coming off an 81-67 loss at Kennesaw State on Saturday, Jacksonville State is wrapping up five games in 11 days with Monday night's contest against the Lady Bisons. 1-3 on the young season, JSU is led by junior forward Danielle Vaughn, who is averaging 14.5 points-per-contest while hauling in 7.3 rebounds a night. Freshman forward Brianna Morrow leads the club in rebounding with an 8.3 average while adding 8.7 points a night.
Lipscomb holds an all-time 1-0 advantage against JSU having taken an 84-62 win over the Gamecocks at Allen Arena last season in the first-ever meeting between the two schools. Bowers torched JSU for 23 points on 8-of-15 shooting from the field as Lipscomb shot 50.9 percent from the field.
Online coverage: JSU will provide live audio at http://www.JSUGamecockSports.com and live pay-per-view video at http://www.OVCSports.tv .
Up next: The Lady Bisons wrap up their five-game road trip on Friday and Saturday in Vanderbilt's Thanksgiving Tournament. Lipscomb takes on the host Commodores at 2 p.m. on Friday before a Saturday tilt with either No. 13 Oklahoma or Liberty at Memorial Gymnasium.

POTSDAM - National Grid is reporting 1,546 customers remain without power this morning as crews continue work to udo the damage done by the weekend ice storm that wreaked havoc in southern St. Lawrence County.
The heaviest damage remains in the towns of Russell, where 586 of National Grids 901 customers remain without power, and the town of Clare, where 53 of 58 customers are without power. Power also remains out to a large number of National Grid customers in Macomb, Pitcairn and Rossie.
National Grid has an estimated restoration time of 11:30 p.m. tonight for most customers in the county, but say they are still assessing conditions in Pitcairn (105 customers without power) and Macomb (114).
St. Lawrence County Legislator Jason Clark, D-Norfolk, who has been sharing updates on the situation on his Facebook page since Saturday, said there was good news late Monday night for many county residents still without power.
National Grid was able to locate a primary line that ran through a woodland area with 16 broken poles. It is unsafe to attend to them directly in the dark, he said following a briefing update Monday night, but they have everything ready that is necessary to address this situation first thing in the morning.
This will mean that power should be restored to most of Russell and Clare tomorrow (Tuesday). That is not in any way a promise, 16 poles in the middle of the woods is a lot, but it is what has been relayed. There is another transmission issue that is also being worked on in the Richville/Dekalb areas. Hopefully most of those affected by existing outages will be able to enjoy their Christmas Eve dinners in the warmth of their own homes, Mr. Clark wrote.

What does the "BPA and BPS Free" Icon on your packaging mean?
The chemical bisphenol-A (BPA) is widely known to be a hormone disrupter. Acting like an estrogen imposter, BPA has been linked to cancer, type 2 diabetes, depression, heart disease and a number of other ailments. BPA can be especially dangerous in pregnancy, infancy and childhood – so much so that many governments around the world have banned BPA in the production of baby bottles (as well as other products).
The chemical bisphenol-S (BPS) is used as a plasticizer by some manufacturers and, in many cases, has been used to replace BPA. BPS is also a hormone disrupter, but is currently allowed for the production of baby bottles and similar products.
Because safety is a top priority for Lansinoh, we have taken proactive measures to ensure our Lansinoh® mOmma® bottles with NaturalWave® Nipples are BPA and BPS free.
Additionally, all our products that may come in contact with breastmilk are BPA and BPS free, as well as our mOmma® toddler line. This includes:

Is Lansinoh® Breastmilk Storage Bags BPA and BPS Free?
Yes! Because safety is a top priority for Lansinoh, we have taken proactive measures to ensure Lansinoh® Breastmilk Storage Bags is both BPA and BPS Free.
Can I pump directly into the Lansinoh® Breastmilk Storage Bags?
Because Lansinoh® Breastmilk Storage Bags have a double zipper closure, they will not fit securely on the pump so you cannot pump directly into them.
What if my milk smells rotten when I thaw it?
According to the La Leche League's "Breastfeeding Question and Answer" book: In rare cases, some mothers who have meticulously expressed and frozen their milk for later use have discovered that all their frozen milk has turned rancid (spoiled). This happens when a mother produces milk that is high in lipase, the enzyme that breaks down fat in the milk. Depending upon the level of lipase in her milk, some mothers notice this rancid smell after their milk has cooled in the refrigerator; others notice it only after the milk has been frozen for a while.
It is suggested that every mother who is planning to freeze her milk should test freeze some batches and thaw it out after a week or so to be sure it has not become rancid. If it smells rancid, she may need to scald the milk before freezing in the future to deactivate the lipase in her milk. If the mother finds that after freezing and thawing her milk that it has a rancid smell, she can prevent this from occurring in the future by heating her expressed milk to a scald (bubbling around the edges but not boiling) right after collecting it and then quickly cooling and freezing it. Scalding inactivates the lipase, however once the milk has acquired the rancid smell, scalding will not help.
For steps on how to address possible lipase issues, consult La Leche League International or visit www.ILCA.org to find a Lactation Consultant in your area.
What is the best way to freeze breastmilk storage bags?
We recommend lying the storage bags flat to freeze them. You can put the breastmilk storage bags directly into the freezer, but because plastic can sometimes stick to the freezer rack (especially if it is slightly wet) we recommend placing the bags in some type of container, such as a plastic storage container, or even a Ziploc® freezer bag. This will also protect the bags from contact with other frozen items.
Are your bags recyclable?
Yes, they fall under the LDPE #4 recyclable classifications that include merchandise bags and pharmaceutical packaging.
What type of plastic is used for your bags?
Lansinoh® Breastmilk Storage Bags are 100% virgin plastic and contain no plasticizers. They are made of FDA approved Food Grade LDPE (low density polyethylene) and LLDPE (linear low density polyethylene) that are three milliliters thick.
