Interviews with So You Think You Can Dance Final Four Dancers and Judges About Performance Finale
SYTYCD: the Final Four and Judges Dish on the Last Dances
You've seen how the dancers performed and what the judges had to say. Now, what did the talent behind So You Think You Can Dance really think about their final performance show? After the show's taping this week, I chatted with judges Adam Shankman, Mary Murphy, and Nigel Lythgoe and all of the final four. What were the highlights and lowlights of the night for them? Read on!
- Nigel finally thinks there are some stars. "I think tonight was the first time that Kayla's personality really shone," he said. "Maybe it was those 3,000 people out there cheering and everything. She really sort of came out of herself, and she needed to. I think Jeanine's solo brought her up on a par with Brandon tonight. I think Brandon started it last week with probably the best solo we've had this season — outstanding. So I was asking for them to step up and I think certainly Brandon did, Jeanine did, and I believe Kayla did."
- Notice a name missing from that list? "Evan, for me, I thought was slightly overwhelmed tonight," Lythgoe said. "I've seen him do his solo better than he did it tonight."
- Of course, Mary's always thought Brandon was a star. "When we saw him audition — to this day, for me, in all five seasons, that was one of the strongest solos I have ever seen," she said. "Obviously everybody knows how much it affected me and brought me to tears without any backstory going on whatsoever. It was the pure dance, the dynamics of it, the energy of it. His talent just could not be denied."
- Half of the final four were a surprise to Adam. "In Vegas, I just didn't really notice Jeanine that much," he said. "Evan, we always knew was going to be a great asset to the show, but we never saw coming his overwhelming popularity. And the 'pinch-cheek factor,' you know what I mean, has really played in his favor."
- Nigel still misses Janette. "I thought Janette was certainly a little star," he said. "I thought whatever we threw at Janette she coped with — and a great personality as well."
- But that doesn't mean the other girls didn't earn their spots. "Watching how Kayla and Jeanine handle themselves, they justly deserved being part of the finale," he said. "And I think they were the two strongest girls, the both of them, that I've seen in a finale to date."
But what did the dancers think? To hear about their highlights — and check out video of what they had to say — just
- Jeanine wanted her solo to show a different side. "I chose to do the tango solo because I'm a Latina myself and I love Latin music. I think it's very strong and powerful, and I think contemporary is always considered just this slow and lyrical-esque feel and it doesn't have to be that," she said. "So I brought a little bit of Spanish fire tonight — and I'm glad I did."
- Kayla and Brandon loved their duet. "I thought that our Broadway was a showstopper," Brandon said. Kayla had similar praise: "It was perfect for the finale."
- Sonya Tayeh got Evan to branch out. "I really enjoyed Sonya's piece," he said. "It pushed me to a new place in terms of dancing."
There's lots more from those four — including how it felt to dance in the huge Kodak Theatre — in the videos below. Enjoy!

A New York City police detective accused of lying to a grand jury three years ago in a drug trial is scheduled to appear in Bronx Supreme Court today as a defendant, facing perjury charges.
Detective Debra Eager, 44, pleaded not guilty to the three counts in 2009 after video surveillance footage allegedly contradicted her testimony of the arrest two years prior in a Holland Avenue apartment building.
The indictment charges Detective Eager with lying in testimony claiming to witness two men "with Jamaican accents" carrying boxes up the building's stairs; the circumstances under which she and another police officer apprehended the suspects; and the recovery of two parcels containing 33 pounds of marijuana.
Bronx district attorney Robert T. Johnston said in a statement on the case at the time of the indictment, "Untruthful testimony from law enforcement officers strikes at the very heart of our system of justice and seriously erodes public confidence in our courts."
The case came about because defendants in the drug arrest filed complaints with the New York City Civilian Complaint Review Board. Misdemeanor and felony charges against them have been dropped.
Eager has been released on a $15,000 personal bond, but each of her three counts carries a maximum sentence of seven years jail.

Initial Review: 3,000 miles on tires
May 18, 2012
I bought these tires on the recommendation of the sales rep., the original tires I inquired about were out of stock and would not be available for 3 months.
So far they seem to perform okay, they have a low grade growl however. Noticeable but not excessive. Initially my fuel consumption went up,lost about 2 mpg, but after three or four weeks it seemed to resume as it was prior to installing the tires.

Taiwanese handset vendor HTC has signed a memorandum of understanding with China Mobile, the world's largest mobile operator by subscriber numbers, that will see the two firms collaborate on the development of smartphones for China's home-grown TD-SCDMA cellular standard.
The two firms said the project will see them co-operate on technical research, product development, market research and customer service. While the 3G TD-SCDMA standard will provide the initial focus, the companies will also work together on the development of handsets for TD-LTE.
China Mobile's chairman Wang Jianzhou paid tribute to HTC's achievements in the smartphone sector, describing the vendor's performance as "most impressive". HTC has established a strong position in the market for smartphones based on the Windows Mobile operating system and taken the lead in the nascent Android sector.

Two Robertsville-area residents who authorities said admitted to a burglary were arrested Monday night after they were found in their home.
According to information from the Franklin County Sheriff's Office, the individuals, a man and a woman, allegedly burglarized a residence in Kober's Trailer Park south of Pacific. Their names are being withheld pending formal charges.
Both the man and woman are white and 23 years old. Both have prior felony convictions.
At about 3:25 p.m. on Monday, deputies responded to the mobile home park for a reported burglary that had just occurred. A witness in the area reported seeing the male and female subjects removing a large, flat-screen television from a home.
The reporting party provided a detailed description of the suspects and their vehicle.
The sheriff's office stated that further investigation yielded possible identities of suspects from the Robertsville area. These suspects' photographs then were positively identified by the witness at the scene.
At about 10:50 p.m. Monday, deputies located the man and woman at their residence south of Robertsville. The suspects admitted to the burglary and were arrested.
During their questioning, the duo said after removing the television, they immediately drove to St. Louis and traded it for heroin.
The sheriff's office said the man has five prior felony charges and three felony convictions. He is currently on probation/parole for burglary and stealing.
The woman has 22 prior felony charges with 12 prior felony convictions.

These days, Mormons look a lot more 'Christian' to traditional evangelicals than do liberal Protestants.
What's Not to Like About Mormon Politicians
R. Marie Griffith is the director of the John C. Danforth Center on Religion & Politics at Washington University in St. Louis, where she is also the John C. Danforth Distinguished Professor in the Humanities. She is the author of "God's Daughters: Evangelical Women and the Power of Submission" and the forthcoming "Christians, Sex and Politics: An American History."
Updated October 14, 2016, 11:47 AM
Are Republican voters ready for a Mormon candidate? They should be.
These days, a Mormon looks (and feels) far more a part of the conservative mainstream than just a few years ago, when thundering attacks on the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints as a "cult," filled Christian pulpits and bookstores across the country. While plenty of non-Mormons still scoff at their church's theology and the provenance of the Book of Mormon, few denounce L.D.S. leaders as evil tyrants set on brainwashing or sexually abusing hordes of lost seekers.
At worst, outsiders may see Mormons as eccentrically restrained, their earnestness sweetly countercultural in a cynical age. At best, they have shown themselves to be highly self-disciplined, fiscally prudent yet personally generous, family- and civic-minded, staunchly capitalist and as patriotic as they are globally invested: in short, model conservatives. The popularity of their music has surely helped too: millions have heard the Mormon Tabernacle Choir perform in Salt Lake City and at events like presidential Inaugurations (at his first inauguration, in 1981, Ronald Reagan dubbed the singers "America's Choir").
True, Mormons still have to take a lot of heat for their historical dealings with gender, homosexuality, marriage and race. But that heat, when it's not generated from within the church itself, now comes mostly from the left. After all, the outcomes of these issues — condensed in strong support for heterosexual monogamy, male-headed households and a priesthood now open to blacks but not women — resonate perfectly well with many conservatives, not least that most crucial bloc: traditional evangelicals. These days, Mormons look a lot more "Christian" to these folk than do liberal Protestants (as U.S. Representative Todd Akin, a Republican from Missouri, reminded us this week, in his mistaken but telling charge that "at the heart of liberalism really is a hatred for God").
In other words, while Mormons may still strike some folks as spiritually odd, they have earned the respect of their political compatriots: the local Rotarian might not want his daughter to marry one, but he knows they make great neighbors and status quo-oriented families. When was the last time you heard of a L.D.S. politician embroiled in a career-ending adultery scandal? A Mormon businessman, from this point of view, could well appeal to conservative voters as a candidate seemingly insusceptible to exposé, and one capable of toppling a liberal Christian president.
Religious prejudice takes a seemingly endless variety of forms in the U.S., and it is easy to fuel into flaming rage. Hardline fundamentalists remain anti-Mormon (and anti-Catholic, for that matter); they may not ever support any but their own. But Mormons have been good for the politics now defined as conservatism. More than ever before, Republicans may be ready to give them their due.

The 'Little Miss Obsessive' singer previews the expletive-laden lyrics and announces she will release the song in full on November 21.
Four years after the release of her last album "Bittersweet World", Ashlee Simpson is finally going to make a music comeback. On Halloween Day, the younger sister of Jessica Simpson gives a first taste on her brand new single called "Bat for a Heart".
The song is sure to show off her evolution from a girl who sings about boys to a vixen who tempts music lovers with her sultry lyrics. "I know you want it now/ I'm gonna bang bang f**k you up, twist you out inside of my head," the mother of one brazenly seduces in the upcoming song.
"Happy Halloween! As promised, here's a little tease of what's to come!" 28-year-old Ashlee hyped up her Halloween treat on Twitter. "#BatForAHeart." The former wife of Pete Wentz added, "In this tease I do drop the F bomb so you've been warned!"
In anticipation of her new release, Ashlee has updated her official website. In addition to posting the teaser, she also announces that the song and the music video will be released on November 21. The video has already been previewed in a black-and-white snippet featuring her.
The official announcement of Ashlee's return to music comes hot on heels of her parents' divorce. Her father Joe and mother Tina decided to go their separate ways after 34 years of marriage. "It is an amicable split and there is no third party involved," a rep said. "Any other related allegations are completely false. The family appreciates your respect for their privacy at this time."

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 24/1/2014 (1305 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
On the day Chad Davis was last seen alive, a unique security code allowing him entry into a facility where he stored personal effects was used in the mid-evening hours.
It was used Feb. 6, 2008, the same day RCMP and prosecutors say Davis, 22, was brutally killed after being lured to a Prince Rupert Avenue garage sometime after noon, his injured body put into a barrel and tossed in the Winnipeg River.
Corey Tymchyshyn, 37, and Kristopher Brincheski, 31, have pleaded not guilty to first-degree murder.
Prosecutors allege Davis, a city drug dealer, was killed over a cocaine debt Tymchyshyn owed him.
A jury is now mulling evidence relating to Davis's use of the storage locker, who actually rented it or had the key to its lock and how it ended up being emptied.
The Crown alleges many of the slain man's personal effects wound up in Brincheski's possession.
Tymchyshyn and Davis turned up at Dino's Storage on Orange Street for Davis to rent a 100-square-foot locker on Jan. 31, 2007, property manager Michael Goulet testified Friday.
However, the locker ended up rented in Tymchyshyn's name because Davis didn't have identification, he said.
Both men knew the unique five-digit passcode that would get them into the main doors of the facility, said Goulet.
All passcode entries are recorded and logged by computers at the business, court heard.
Goulet could not recall if the men purchased a padlock for the locker or brought one with them to use.
On the day Davis mysteriously -- witnesses have said uncharacteristically -- vanished, the passcode was used at 8:02 p.m.
An internal alarm was tripped, an indication the door had been propped open and couldn't close properly, said Goulet. The code was punched in again upon exit at 8:13 p.m. and then again a minute later, he said.
The code was again used at 11:25 a.m on Feb. 12. The very next day, a Winnipeg police officer turned up there. He was tasked with checking the locker for any clues about where Davis may have gone as part of a missing-persons probe.
Det. Sgt. William Degroot said Davis's dad, Stuart Davis, gave him the key to the locker. Stuart testified Chad gave the key to him in mid-January when he was moving residences.
After talking with Goulet, Degroot learned Chad did have a locker there, but was under Tymchyshyn's name.
He testified he used the key Stuart Davis gave him to open the locker's lock but found nothing of significance, "just furniture and household items," and left.
Goulet said security cameras in the facility recorded over past footage every seven days, meaning anything from a week prior was overwritten and lost.
In March, the hard drive the footage was retained on failed completely, he said.
Tymchyshyn turned up there again on Feb. 22, and Goulet said he called police to tell them he was emptying the locker.
"They told me, 'yes, it was OK,' " Goulet said.
Tymchyshyn was there with another man who was shorter and had a smaller build, Goulet said, adding that man might also have been wearing glasses.
Stuart Davis recalled a phone call with Tymchyshyn on March 1, 2008, in which Tymchyshyn denied Davis had a locker at Dino's.
"He was claiming it was his locker, not Chad's," Stuart said. "He said Chad did not have a locker at Dino's," he said.
Stuart Davis identified a number of items in court that RCMP seized after Chad's death was discovered on July 23, 2008.
They included TV sets, a DVD player and a remote control he gave to his son that he'd programmed himself.

Everyone remembers their first console — whether it was the Atari, the NES, the PlayStation, or even the Xbox 360. There's an inherent fondness gamers hold for their early gaming experiences that transcends graphical fidelity, tight gameplay mechanics, or even a compelling story.
And so, when someone attempts to capitalize on that nostalgia, and deliver one of the most comprehensive collections from video gaming's earlier days, we have to take note.
This person in question, who goes by the name Byuu on Reddit, is offering his entire Super Nintendo collection on eBay for $24,999. While some game collections are about the rares and the ultra rares, Byuu's is about sheer volume as he claims to have every Super Nintendo game released in the U.S., Mexico, and Canada. That's 721 games in total.
Conditions on individual games range from "near mint to fair," Byuu says, and he mentions he spent more on games in better condition so that they would be seen as the "prized pieces of the collection." More importantly than quality, though, he has tested each game and they all work perfectly.
Byuu's collection includes a lot of Nintendo's prized franchises — everything from Legend of Zelda to Mario, from Super Metroid to Final Fantasy. It really is quite the collection. To list all 721 titles would be a fool's errand, so make sure to check out his eBay post to see a list of the titles, as well as quality classifications for the cartridge, instructions, and box.
The seller does say he would prefer to do the sale outside of eBay, as that service would take 10% of his profits, which he plans to put towards acquiring European and Japanese sets. From the perspective of an extreme collector, though, $24,999 is a steal as some of the rarer games in the collection account for nearly half its value.
Would you be interested in a SNES collection like this? What games would you love to have from the set?

Perhaps God isn't answering your prayers because this isn't the way He wants you to solve your financial problems. I know gambling is very common today (including publicly sponsored lotteries), but the Bible doesn't encourage gambling, nor has God promised to bless us when we gamble.
After all, how much money have you spent on lottery tickets the past few years? If you added it all up, I suspect it would be a fairly large sum. But what if you had saved that money or used it to pay off some of your debts? Wouldn't your life today be better than it actually is? Only you can answer that, of course, but remember: Every dollar you've gambled away is lost -- forever.
Instead I urge you to do whatever you can to get control of your finances. Make a realistic budget -- and stick to it. Avoid buying things you don't really need, or that you buy on impulse. If at all possible set up a regular savings plan, perhaps through a payroll deduction plan with your employer. If credit cards have become a problem to you, lock them away or get rid of them.
Most of all, commit your finances -- and your whole life -- to Jesus Christ. God doesn't want you to be a slave to money or greed. Instead, He wants you to use your resources wisely and for His glory. The Bible warns, "Whoever loves money never has money enough; whoever loves wealth is never satisfied with his income" (Ecclesiastes 5:10).

Brazilian mining giant Vale has moved to resolve an impasse with joint venture partner
Vale's marketing agreement for Isaac Plains, covering terms of coal sales, expired in November and the companies have not yet been able to amicably reach a new agreement.
While production has continued and some individual sales have been completed, Aquila and Vale have not been able to sell coal since then without the threat of either taking legal action.
Coal stockpiles have mounted up at the mine and are currently near their limit, while employees are uncertain about their future.
Vale has proposed an interim solution to Aquila to break the impasse, ensuring continuing operations and in doing so, protecting hundreds of jobs.
"In the past, we've taken the view that there's not too much to be gained by having a discussion on these matters with our joint venture in a public forum," Vale's general manager for coal development and joint venture relations, Chris Coombes, said.
"But with the amount of noise that some of the guys on site have been picking up in the past couple of weeks, I think it would be irresponsible to leave them with so many questions in their minds."
Mr Coombes declined to specify the reasons for the dispute over marketing, only saying it related to deficiencies in the joint venture agreement that affected the companies' ability to move coal from Isaac Plains.
He said Aquila walked away from initial discussions in December last year, but came back to the negotiating table in May.
"We're still continuing those negotiations. They have not stopped and I'd have to say they're moving forward positively. That's certainly the message we'd like to get out there to the employees and stakeholders in the mine
"But conscious of timeframe, yesterday we put forward an interim solution that would allow both of us to lift our coal from the operation."
Aquila is yet to respond to the proposal, but is expected to make an informal statement later today..

New Red Band About Time Trailer Arrives
Starring Rachel McAdams, Domhnall Gleeson and a time-porting MacGuffin, About Time combines many of the things we know and love about Richard Curtis (offbeat romance! Laughs! Pop songs! Salty language!) with some that aren't so immediately associated with the New Zealand-born director. Namely time-porting MacGuffins.
The time-travelling comedy romance has a new trailer for you. Word of warning: it's got some swearing in it, so if you're of a sensitive disposition or, say, on your way to be ordained, keep the sound turned down.
About Time focuses on Tim Lake (Gleeson), who discovers he has an unusual talent: he can travel in time. According to his dad (Bill Nighy), it's a genetic gift passed down through the men in his family. While he can't change big historical events, he can alter things within his own life.

In a Thursday night update on the CBS Evening News on the condition of Kimberly Dozier, the CBS News correspondent seriously injured Monday in Baghdad, Sheila MacVicar reported that a soldier at the U.S. military hospital in Germany, where Dozier is recovering, gave her his Purple Heart. From Landstuhl, MacVicar related:
"Something happened that surprised and moved all of us this afternoon. A young American soldier came up to Kimberly's brother, Michael, and told him that he'd met Kimberly in Iraq two years ago after he'd been wounded with shrapnel in his arm. The soldier had his Purple Heart with him, and he told Michael that he'd now like Kimberly to have it because, he said, she suffered as much as any soldiers. That Purple Heart is now beside Kimberly's bed."

BEIJING (Reuters) - China's world number 18 Li Na is likely to play at Wimbledon despite pulling out of a warm-up tournament this week because of a muscle strain, the China Tennis Association (CTA) said on Tuesday.
The 25-year-old became the first Chinese to reach the quarter-finals of a grand slam tournament on her first appearance in the main draw at Wimbledon last year.
"Li Na has strained a muscle in her chest," Xie Miqing, CTA spokeswomen, said by telephone.
"She decided not play in Eastbourne this week to give her time to recover from the injury. She is unlikely to pull out of Wimbledon."
Zheng Jie, one half of last year's Wimbledon women's doubles championship winning team, has already been forced to withdraw from the tournament because of a left ankle injury.
Yan Zi, who won Wimbledon and the Australian Open doubles with Zheng last year, will now be partnered by world number 47 singles player Peng Shuai, Xie said.
The CTA reacted strongly last week when China's Olympic medical chief, Li Guopeng, accused it of allowing Zheng to play through the injury at the French Open.
"We will not harm our players in order to defend a title," Xie said.
The 121st Wimbledon championships start on June 25.

Soloist's technique striking in symphony's season finale
Two popular Russian blockbusters provide the grandiose conclusion this weekend for the Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra's season of BNY Mellon Grand Classics at Heinz Hall.
The concert opened with the more popular of the two pieces, Peter Ilyich Tchaikovsky's Piano Concerto No. 1, which turns up at the symphony every few years. Even great pieces can be overplayed, but there's always room to hear them when played by an artist of the individuality and superb technique of Yuja Wang, who made her third appearance with the orchestra.
The performance began blastissimo from the orchestra, but Wang was not intimidated. Instead, she produced torrents of big chordal sonorities.Before the music turned softer, she showed the impulse for a lyrical perspective in phrasing. Manfred Honeck, music director, provided a good ritardando for one of these moments.
The main section of the first movement is much faster and in completely contrasting character. Wang's pacing was more moderate than expected and not as impish. However, it was the lyrical passages in the first movement that were most problematic interpretatively. The soloist slowed the pace so far that the music dragged, felt static.
The slow movement was cooly beautiful, although soft strings hinted at more emotion, with a wickedly fast middle section which is marked Prestissimo.
The finale was extremely fast, too, and exciting until the pace slowed for the passage preparing for the famous double octave passage, in which the clarity of Wang's technique was striking. Yet it often felt that the orchestra was playing catchup as Wang raced ahead.
The concert concluded with Dmitri Shostakovich's Symphony No. 5, which as the many extra microphones above the stage indicated was being recorded for commercial release.
Honeck's interpretation banned the ambiguity which the composer had to write to survive in Stalin's Soviet Union, an ambiguity which enabled the piece to be called "an artist's reply to just criticism."
It was a performance of extremes — slow and fast, loud and soft — which was most successful in the third movement.
This concert will be repeated at 8 p.m. Saturday and 2 p.m. Sunday at Heinz Hall. Admission is $20 to $93. Details: 412-392-4900.
Mark Kanny is classical music critic for Trib Total Media.

The Australian dollar jumped higher today on the back of surprising CPI numbers, which dented chances of an interest rate hike this year.
At 3.22pm (AEDT), the local currency was trading at US70.13c up from US70.03c in yesterday's trade.
Data out earlier today from Australia showed the latest quarterly consumer price index rose 0.4 percent in the December against analysts' expectations of a 0.3 percent rise and bringing to a halt two consecutive quarters of declines.
The annualized figure also rose to 1.7 percent, slightly above forecasts for a number of 1.6 percent.
The Aussie dollar jumped around half a cent immediately after investors were buoyed by the news before pulling back later in the session
The positive numbers come on the back of other recent good news including stable trade balance figures and an improving Jobs market, which may help, offset the damage done by the recent troubles in the Chinese economy, which Australia is so reliant on.
The chances of an interest rate rise from the Reserve Bank of Australia dropped sharply to 6 percent after the release of the inflation numbers, down from 20 percent.
Although the figures were positive, they still fall short of the RBA's inflation target of 2-3 percent which some are predicting leaves the door open for a rate cut down the line should future data turn negative.

text: Illumina, Inc. (NASDAQ:ILMN) today announced that it has acquired Cambridge, U.K.-based BlueGnome Ltd. for an undisclosed sum. BlueGnome, now a wholly owned subsidiary of Illumina, is a leading provider of solutions for the screening of genetic abnormalities associated with developmental delay, cancer, and infertility. "The BlueGnome acquisition supports Illumina's goal to be the leader in genomic-based diagnostics and enhances the company's ability to establish integrated solutions in reproductive health and cancer," said Jay Flatley, President and CEO of Illumina. "BlueGnome is the leader in the rapidly growing IVF market and is well-known for their software and comprehensive assay workflows." "By joining forces with Illumina, we will be able to leverage the industry's leading microarray and sequencing platforms for our next generation products," said Nick Haan, President and CEO of BlueGnome. "The throughput and data quality of Illumina's sequencers enable us to consider revolutionary new approaches to genetic testing." In collaboration with some of the world's leading in vitro fertilization (IVF) centers, BlueGnome developed 24sure™, a preimplantation genetic screening (PGS) test for counting the chromosomes in a single human cell – a test that holds enormous promise for increasing IVF success rates. Clinical data has shown that PGS greatly improves IVF success, increasing pregnancy rates for women and reducing miscarriages. BlueGnome's offerings also include CytoChip, a powerful test for the investigation of genetic abnormalities mainly associated with developmental delay or with complex leukemias. CytoChip is used by more than 200 labs across 40 countries worldwide as a first-line cytogenetic test, replacing traditional G-band karyotyping. The company's founders, Nick Haan and Graham Snudden, will continue to lead BlueGnome which will report to Greg Heath, SVP and General Manager of Illumina's Diagnostics business. In addition to its headquarters in Cambridge, England, BlueGnome has offices in Fairfax, Virginia and Singapore. Added Greg Heath, "Our technologies are rapidly moving towards clinical applications that can make dramatic and immediate impacts on people's lives, and the BlueGnome acquisition is an excellent fit with Illumina's overall genomic solutions and goals. We are very excited to welcome this talented team to Illumina."

Now, however, I'm in need of more sustaining varieties of entertainment. Something that develops a narrative or extends the play.
Ditto for my love life; I'm done with the quick hits and want to explore someone's personality, tastes, likes and dislikes before getting all into the sex-date-breakup paradigm.
I might say more later on, but I like to keep it simple and I'm three paragraphs over that.
Music is so important that it deserves its own paragraph, typology, etc.
My favorite artists--in no partiular order........
Kanye West (remember this is not in order), OutKast, and R Kelly (mostly the older stuff not including his first two albums), and...Kanye West. Because although I didn't give an order, I did not say my description failed proportionally.
I'm excited just thinking about the whole endeavor!

With the government shutdown potentially putting the kibosh on leisurely leaf-peeping jaunts along the federally managed Skyline Drive, you're going to want to have a Plan B for seeing the fall colors.
The next few weekends are an excellent time to visit one of the area's wineries, which, thanks to their acres of cleared hill-covered land, are a fine place to see what will be a fiery countryside by mid-month. (Tip: A few are even very close to the national parks that are closed during the shutdown.) Here are a few you should put on your must-see list for fall foliage.
Sunset Hills Vineyard in Purcellville
If you want to stay close to home, consider a trip to this two-story tasting room that's a favorite for wedding parties, thanks to its gorgeous 1870s barn renovated by Amish craftsmen from Pennsylvania. Grab a class of wine and some Amish cheese and head for the deck, which offers an excellent view of the little pond on the estate. Bonus: It's close to several other wineries, including the newer Barns at Hamilton Station and 8 Chains North, a fine place to head for heartier snacks than the standard cheese and bread.
Bluemont Vineyard in Bluemont
At the top of a 951-foot summit lays Bluemont, which, in addition to a nice collection of wines representative of Virginia's strengths, has perhaps the best view of them all, stretching all the way to the Washington skyline (or so the winery's tasting staff might tell you) when the sky is cloudless. Bring binoculars and a little extra cash for sundries: At the bottom of the big hill is Great Country Farms, where you can pick up a pumpkin and some farm goodies and take a stab at the corn maze.
Breaux Vineyards in Purcellville
Order a glass of wine and walk the grounds of this sprawling vineyard so close to the shuttered Harpers Ferry you won't feel like you missed a thing. Nearby, make reservations (outdoors, if the weather's cooperating) at the stunning, tasty Grandale Farm restaurant, and make time to pop in at the new Maggie Mallick Wine Caves tasting room, which is shaped like, well, a wine cave and features wine from a veteran Virginia winemaker.
Black Ankle Vineyards in Mt. Airy
The Shenandoah has a way of stealing the thunder from Maryland's hilly vistas. The curving country roads to Mt. Airy's Black Ankle will put you in a pastoral state of mind, while the winery's daily tours and high-minded wines will please any oenophile.
Chrysalis Vineyards in Middleburg
With its rolling hills and picturesque white fences in the heart of Virginia hunt country, Chrysalis is one of the most good-looking estates around in the fall. The winery -- which admittedly gets very crowded -- specializes in wines made from the American-bred Norton grape. Afterward, visit the nearby Boxwood Winery or the Greenhill Winery & Vineyards, which opened on the vast, lovely Swedenburg Winery estate this year with a new winemaker and renovated tasting room. Or make a reservation and take a spa day at the brand new Salamander Resort and Spa, also in Middleburg.
Farther afield
If you're looking to be a little closer to Shenandoah, consider a trek down to the Charlottesville and Afton areas, where it's boomtime for breweries and cidermakers, too.
Trump Winery in Charlottesville
Yes, it's Donald Trump and his family who own the estate of the longstanding, well-respected Kluge Estate winery now, but the views and carefully cultivated grapes still stand.
Blue Mountain Brewery in Afton
You won't be able to go into Shenandoah National Park, but Blue Mountain Brewery sits just close enough that you can get the experience without the hefty park fee and traffic. Take in the rocky mountain from the large, trellis-covered patio and let the winding hop vines that circle the property provide the shade.
Afton Mountain Vineyards in Afton
This winery is on a hilltop that affords stunning views of the hills. Bonus: It's just up the road from Blue Mountain Brewery, so you can make a day of it.

Letter: Does democracy benefit from child deaths?
To the editor:
Re: Ukraine Situation: Still doing business with renegade Putin (July 29, Capital News).
I am afraid that Mr. Peter Bihun misunderstood the genuine meaning of my letter. (No Such Thing As A Winning Side in Any War, July 24 Capital News.) I wrote the letter to voice my opinion on the never ending atrocities that wars, any wars, inflict on innocent victims.
In my opinion there are no winners, only losers, in any conflict that results in death and unnecessary suffering. I understand that the majority of humans would disagree with me, otherwise the world would, by now, be practising peace instead of seeking brutality.
People cannot deny this fact: that the recent troubles in eastern Ukraine and Palestine are the result of their support for these atrocities, otherwise they would be pressuring their leaders to bring an end to them.
Mr. Bihun, humans could argue for eons about who is at fault on both sides of conflict, that is the main reason why wars are still a common practise among nations. The point is that humanity has gone through enough atrocities caused by wars, and now is the time to not point fingers at one another, but to find solutions to this human dilemma that has plagued humanity for centuries. We should all be saying: "Enough is enough."
Our leaders are corrupt and out of touch with humanity, and they seek only to benefit their own kind; wars have always brought big business for corporations. They also are experts in creating situations that divide people because then they are easier to manage.
I will always speak against those who support the murder of children, simply because I do respect life with all my heart. It is truly sad that so-called civilized adults, and our political puppets are still in denial—believing that by supporting death for children now their actions will be creating democracy for the next generation.
Monika Hudecova,

|Anti-Backwards Crystal
|Invented by
|Hubert J. Farnsworth
|Purpose of invention
|Accidentally created
|First appearance
|Bender's Game
The Anti-Backwards Crystal is one of two crystals accidentally created by Farnsworth. When Farnsworth misplaced the crystal under the walrus tank, it became the "D12" dice for Cubert, Dwight, and their friends playing Dungeons & Dragons. Mom's sons, (Walt, Larry and Igner), attempted to steal the crystal to avoid it and the other crystal joining, which would make dark matter unusable as fuel. Farnsworth eats it and hugs his son Igner, who had eaten the other crystal. The Anti-Backwards Crystal explodes, making all dark matter worthless.

Parenting experts offer advice on dining out with kids, including tricks for teaching them good table manners and avoiding tantrums.
The icy stare. You've seen it before. Maybe you've even given it. There's probably no place it's dished out more than a nice restaurant when a family approaches with their kids. Diners fear riots, extreme noise levels, flying food, and impromptu games of hide and seek. But you don't need to limit yourself to fast food and rest-stop experiences any longer -- dining out is a fun family experience when everyone learns to practice good table manners.
"Taking young kids out to eat can be like feeding a pack of wild animals," says Robi Ludwig, Psy.D., a Care.com parenting expert. "You need to be patient and have fun, knowing there is a big learning curve as you are socializing your kids on how to behave in public." Don't put tons of pressure on yourself or feel like a failure when your normally docile 5-year-old squeezes ketchup into your purse. Table manners take time. And ketchup stains can (eventually) be removed. We asked Dr. Ludwig and Louise Elerding, author of the You've Got Manners! children's book series, for tips on turning uncouth dining experiences into ones that are (somewhat) poised.
Both experts agree that sitting for meals as a family at home is wonderful practice for restaurant trips. Aim for at least once a week when you can teach meal manners during home meals. Work on placing a napkin on your lap, eating with utensils (not hands!), talking to each other, not burping, eating with their mouths closed, and not scurrying from the table when the food is done. When your kids are used to having interesting chats during meal time in the house, it will come more naturally when eating outside the home.
"Do not dismiss the family-friendly restaurant," says Dr. Ludwig. You might not get the farm-to-table meal you crave, but places that expect lots of kids are best for testing the dining waters. The positives: Food is often served quickly, kids' cups come with covers to prevent spills, and crayons and paper are usually put on the table. When kids receive their own menus, it makes them feel important. Allow them to choose and order their own meals (within reason) and they will feel especially grown-up. And keep the outing short: A two-hour dinner is not the place for young children.
You're glued to your BlackBerry. Your husband has an iPhone growing out of his palm. We all love our smart devices but kids and adults need to know that it's not okay to have them at the dining table. "It makes me irate to see people using phones when dining," says Elerding. "When a child sits and eats a meal he is learning to extend himself to another person and engage in conversation." If his face is buried in an iPad, he'll miss the opportunity to connect with everybody else.
It used to be that families turned off the television at the table. Now we all need to leave our phones in the other room. Dr. Ludwig agrees that dinner is practice time to talk face-to-face. It helps kids build great social and school skills.
You like your steak done well and it was served medium rare. Before you cause a commotion about the meat or talk snidely about the chef adding too much salt to the soup, take a deep breath. The fuss will only teach your children that you have a sense of superiority and a quick temper. Model for them how to appropriately express your displeasure as well as how to be courteous to the wait staff. Say "please" and "thank you," make eye contact and compliment them for a job well done. Eating dinner is a way to share your values with your kids and teach them how to respect others, not just an excuse for ordering extra cheese fries.
Sometimes kids just can't sit still. When they start to wiggle in their seats or migrate away from the table, you need to be prepared to draw them back in. Start a round of I Spy, 20 Questions, round robin storytelling, or play Hangman.
Even the topic of table manners can be a fun game, suggests Elerding. Assign kids to be the Manners Police to make sure adults are following the rules. They can prevent plate crashes by making sure everything is passed to the right and traffic moves smoothly. Need salt? Never pass it without the pepper! These two spices are best buds and etiquette calls for them to stick together, even if a person requested just one.
Other Care.com parents suggest bringing a special "restaurant bag" of toys and games that are only played when you're out to eat.
Reviewing the menu as a family can start a conversation about healthy eating. Can your son pick out the veggie with the most vitamin B? Which entree does he think would be the most unhealthy? Talk about good eating habits and agree to order an app or side dish for the family to share that's super good for you or one that has a food no one has tried before.

Lauren Jackson has spoken of her relief the cause of her hamstring problem has finally been diagnosed after fearing it could end her career.
The Opals star had scans with Canberra specialist Wes Cormick last Thursday, which uncovered the main reasons why the issue has plagued her for five months.
Her ''scary'' feelings of uncertainty and frustration have been replaced by pure joy, and she is now confident of a return to court with the Canberra Capitals in the New Year.
The main problem is a big tear in her adductor magnus muscle, which Jackson first injured during Olympic preparations in the Czech Republic in June.
A few microscopic strains were also detected, and Jackson is ecstatic she and her medical team now have clarity on what they're dealing with.
''I'm not about to say there weren't tears, there were definitely tears,'' Jackson said on Thursday.
''More than anything it was just frustration not knowing what it is, and that it could potentially end my career, [which] was something I had to deal with. I feel like finally I know exactly what it is, we all do and we know how to treat it.
''It's real relief. I'm with the best people and they know me well enough to know I was really scared, and now I'm not so scared any more.''
Jackson harboured serious concerns she may never return to her best, but now feels more assured her career longevity isn't in jeopardy.
''Absolutely [those thoughts entered my mind], a lot actually,'' Jackson said.
''I'm an athlete, it was scary. There was moments where I was like, 'shit'. You just have to focus on other things, so I did.
''My strength was coming back but the pain was still there. At that point we were talking about it … if I can't play I can't play. I had a lot of injections up to that point and nothing was making it better.
''For a moment there it was looking a little bit glum, because we had no idea what was going on.
''It was frustrating, too, because it's my career, I could only play 10 minutes and then I'd retire because I couldn't run.''
The 31-year-old was elated when her issue was pinpointed, but was also frustrated previous scans by several other doctors had not helped to discover the problem.
''I was frustrated we hadn't done those tests in a different position earlier,'' Jackson said.
''In terms of having to go through this for five months … it's five months of my career I cannot get back. But you know what, it's major relief knowing exactly what it is, and also for the future knowing it has to be investigated properly in every sense.''
Jackson has been doing daily rehabilitation with Australian Institute of Sport physiotherapist Tony Ward and his team, whom she trusts unconditionally. She believes if she wasn't in Australia, she probably would still be searching for answers.
''Looking back, it wasn't so bad. I was just fortunate I was here because if I was overseas there's no way I'd be able to come back from this,'' she said.
''There were Australian doctors, too, that had no clue that we'd been to prior to coming to the AIS.
''They didn't want to take these other investigations because they didn't think it was necessary. It just goes to show.
''In the back of my mind, too, these [AIS] guys kept persisting. They were like, 'we're going to get to the bottom of it and figure it out'.''
After her scans with Cormick, Jackson received multiple blood injections to reignite muscle growth and the healing process.
''That's helped a lot, I think,'' she said. ''The big tear, it bled out into my muscle and it's pinching my sciatic nerve, and at the moment that's where I'm getting most of my pain.''
Jackson endured a brutal schedule before arriving in Canberra for the first of a three-season, $1 million third-party deal.
She played gruelling stints in Spain and in the WNBA with Seattle, before carrying her injury through the Opals' Olympic campaign.
But she doesn't regret pushing herself through the Storm's play-off campaign before heading home.
''It's one of those things where you're in season with a team … I was in a lot of pain before that [the play-offs],'' she said.
''At the Olympics it was terrible, I'd miss practices and I'd miss games before the Olympics.
''I'd made commitments to those teams, but it got to the point where I couldn't walk, I couldn't get into bed without going, 'Oh my god, I've done something bad'.
''The teams I've been with have been really good, they know I've been hurt, but now I'm just really glad and happy it's been sorted.''

Report says the Charlie Harper of 'Two and a Half Men' has inked a deal with Lionsgate for a new show and the network is bidding on it.
There is a rumor circulating around that Charlie Sheen has inked a deal with Lionsgate Television to create and star on a new sitcom, with TBS among networks bidding on the show. But the cable channel denies it is going to help bring the troubled actor back on TV, saying through a representative "TBS is not in discussions for a possible project with Charlie Sheen."
According to Radar Online which first brought the story to surface, TBS wants to acquire Sheen's new sitcom as an effort to expand its comedy division. "Plus cable makes more sense because it offers more creative freedom," an insider told the site. "In other words the show can be raunchier and more outrageous, which is perfect for Charlie!"
The show is said to feature Sheen as a character similar to the one he played on "Two And a Half Men". However, the new sitcom will be "a lot racier". The insider said that Lionsgate has "committed to ten episodes up front with the option to pick-up and produce 90 more episodes if the ratings prove to be successful." Lionsgate, however, refuses to comment on the report.
Charlie Sheen was fired from "Two and a Half Men" after making public insults toward producer Chuck Lorre. TMZ recently reported his character, Charlie Harper, will be written off in a way that prevents him from returning to the show. Words are, the scenarios include the character driving his car off a cliff.

Golden Self Blanching Celery Seed (85-103 days)
Introduced in 1886. Golden Self Blanching Celery produces thick, crisp, juicy, deeply ribbed, tasty celery without the strings or bitter flavor of some other celery. Reaches 18-23"s in height with ample water. Golden Self Blanching is a strong disease resistant variety that is obviously self blanching. Celery hearts are thick and crunchy.
1916 & 1932 Burpee Seed Catalog says...
"The best of all early "self-blanching" varieties. First introduced in America by us in 1884, this is decidedly better in quality than the White Plume. It is ready for use nearly as early, blanches as easily, and is larger in size, as well as finer in quality. It is of dwarf compact habit, with thick, solid, heavily ribbed stalks which blanch easily to a clear waxen yellow. When grown in rich moist soil the stalks are numerous, each plant being fully as thick through as the largest of the tall late sorts, and with a very large solid heart of beautiful golden-yellow stalks and leaves. The stalks are crisp and solid, free from stringiness and of most delicious flavor. Choice American-grown seed grown direct from the French."
"This is American grown seed produced from the dwarf French stock. Of dwarf, compact growth with thick, solid, heavily ribbed stalks which blanch easily to a clear waxen yellow. Crisp, solid, heavy, free from stringiness, and of most delicious flavor. Yields of good crop."
1918 The Great Northern Seed Catalog says...
"This is the best celery for early use. Plants of a yellowish green color when young, but as they mature, the inner stems and leaves turn a beautiful golden yellow, which adds much to their attractiveness and makes the work of blanching much easier. The handsome color, crispness, tenderness, freedom from stringiness and fine nutty flavor of this variety makes it only necessary to be tried in order to establish it as the standard of excellence and as an early variety."

Planting Tips for Heirloom Celery:
Start indoors 12 weeks prior to transplanting outdoors.
Celery seeds are one of the smallest vegetable seeds! Use sterile, fine soil and cover the seed by dusting a light covering. Many people plant too deeply. An easy way to lightly cover your fine/tiny celery seed is to use a flour sifter or large tea strainer and gently shake a coating over the seed. Keep soil moist (not soggy) and at 75 degrees. Seedlings will emerge in 2-3 weeks.
Celery can be fussy, needing everything just right. Good compost, kelp & bone meal mixed in with soil will add nourishment. Start seedlings indoors by scattering seed on top of soil – must be kept moist at all times. In 8-12 weeks, when 5" tall, plant out in garden. Consistent watering is essential.
Transplant outdoors when weather has settled and there are no more rapid temperature swings. Bolting can be caused when night time temps get below 55 degrees. So do not transplant too early.
Heirloom Celery needs a very rich, moderately acidic, organic soil and lots of water. Feed organic fish emulsion and seaweed every two weeks until harvest.
Seeding Rate for Heirloom Celery:
35,000-40,000 plants/acre,
Heirloom seeds are hardy, but always take care with your garden seeds to give them the appropriate amount of moisture - don't let the vegetable seeds dry out prematurely, and don't overwater and possibly have them rot.

text: Well, after several mornings of hard hunting, we are finally finished. We had three tags to fill this year. The range we hunt is over 125,000 acres as we have access to all of it if you want to walk. ALot of other hunts have access to it as well. Opening morning we headed up to our favorite location. Windy as hell but there were alot of pronghorns out. We saw at least 30 good bucks, nothing huge and since the wind was blowing around 20 mph I did not even unpack the rifle. The next morning was breezy but at least not windy. We returned to our preferred area and since it was monday, we were the only ones there which was stark difference from the day before. We found a good herd out in the middle of a big hay field and made a stock on one very large buck. We used the center pivot as cover and got to within 350 yards of the buck before the herd spotted us and ran off. The buck however just walked along. Dad lined up his 25-284 and asked what hold to take. I said hold 1/3 down from his back and on the leading edge of his shoulder. At the shot, dust erupted right in front of the buck and he tore out of the area. Dad had held just off hair in front of the buck and thats about where the bullet hit. No harm done, but a good lesson in leading a slower moving animal at this range. We headed back into the flat land a bit farther where we spotted a good herd of goats roughly 1000 yards off the main road. I unpacked the gear,and Seconds later a couple ranch trucks hauling cattle came over the ridge!!! Can't get pissed at that, they were just working. I then looking across the way down into a large bowl off the dirt road I noticed a small group of pronghorns in th ebottom, around 600 yards away. My brother turned the spotter on them and said there was a good buck in the herd. They were out past where Dad wanted to shoot, closer then I wanted to shoot so my brother grabbed his Sako 7.82 Warbird and made his way across the fence. Because of some contour in the ground, he had to get out around 50 yards from the road to get laid down for a solid shot. I ranged the goats at 557 yards and then I ranged him at 52 yards and told him they were at roughly 505 yards as we were all lined up in a row. He found his hold and send a 208 gr A-Max down range and connected solidly with the buck. The shot was slightly back farther then he wanted because of some wind that caught him more then he expected but the buck went down quickly but his head stayed up. We made a move to position ourselves a bit better and he made a second shot to end thing. The buck was not quite as large as he had hoped, right at 14" but his prongs were a bit short and his mass average. Still a good buck for this year of very dry conditions. And it was a personal best long range shot for him as well so it worked out great. Day three was the best day of the week. I woke up to no wind at all so we headed up to look over the big hay field where dad had missed the big buck the morning before. We got set up and I glassed the field, There were alot of goats in the field and I measured 5 good bucks on our side of the huge field. I found one buck that looked very tall and ranged him at 1300 yards on the money. Conditions were ideal, no wind at all. Found my hold and send a 265 gr AT RBBT on its way. The buck was laying with his back to us and was quartering away at around a 45 degree angle. When the big Wildcat bullet landed, it looked like a dawn filled pillow exploded. The buck jumped to his feet, stumbled around, then trotted over to some tall grass. Where I could only see his head. A minute or two later the herd wondered past him and down into a draw and out of sight. The buck tried to fallow. He was hurt bad but still mobile. I tried to get a range on him but the sun was very intense at this time and I could not get any meaningful reading. The buck was heading to a fence line so I took a reading in that area and got a measurement of 1180 yards. I found my hold and when the buck came to the fence I sent another round down range. This shot clipped hair on the bucks shoulder as it just barely over shot the buck. He crossed the fence and then walked up onto a slight side hill where I could get a good reading. The range was basically the same. Relaxed, took my hold an let a round slip down range. I was horrified to see a dust cloud 20 yards below the buck!! It was so far away he did not even flinch. I raked in another round. Sent it on its way and this shot landed 15 yards to the right of the buck. I was thinking and probably saying some pretty choice words at this time. I could not figure what the hell was going on. This last shot spooked the buck and he gimped down the hill and out of sight. The rest of the herd came up the other side but my buck did not. I grabbed my 7mm AM lightweight and Dad and I headed over to the draw to see what had happened. When we got there the buck was in the bottom of the draw, about as dead as you could be but still standing. One 200 gr ULD RBBT at around 350 and it was done. When we got up to the buck, I realized that the shot had entered just ahead of the right ham and penetrated through the paunch and liver. all in all, from that angle, not a bad hit. It had impacted about 5" farther back then I wanted but I can live with that at 1300 yards. What I could not live with was the bullet spraying after those first two shots. I had been shooting this rifle for a month at ranges from 900 to 2000 yards and it was dead on the money, not I could not get within 20 yards of a goat at 1200 yards!!! Anyway, it was a good pack back to the truck, nearly a mile each way so we were pretty whooped after that. My buck was a good buck, right at 14" but extremely heavy. Only problem is that he had broken off both of his prongs flush with the main beam of the horn. This did not bother me in the least. His based were both nearly 7" in circumference so he was an old buck. He scored 72" even without any prongs at all. What I was concerned with was the total lack of consistancy on the follow up shots. THe weak prior, clay targets were in serious trouble at ranges out to even a mile and now the rifle was throwing shots all over the countryside. We got home and I decided I would clean the 338 Allen Magnum just to make sure everything was alright before I retested it for the upcoming Montana General Big Gam season. I set the rifle up on the bench, reached over it to grab a bottle of solvent and when I did I grabbed the objective of the NF scope with my left hand and I instantly realized what was causing the problem!!! THe scope was tight in the rings, the rings were tight on the rail base, BUT, the rail base was just flopping around on the receiver. I was pretty upset at first but relieved that the problem was so obviously mechanical. Shawn Calock and I had discusses this same problem earlier as Shawn has had this problem with his rifle. His cure was to use larger 10-32 bolts to secure the scope base down onto the receiver. In looking at the BAT Model M receiver and its rail base design, I quickly realized that even though 8-40 screws were used on this base to attach to the receiver, they were flat seat screws, not tapered seat screws. I do not like this at all with a rail base that has no mechanical recoil lug to the receiver. The reason is because a flat seat screw has no control over shear forces generated by recoil and in a rifle like this, extreme deceleration forces generated by the extreme performance muzzle brake in combination with this round. This rail base design has no real way to control these extreme shear forces, positive and negative and as such, no matter how tight you torque them down, in time it appears that the problem, will rear its head. My personal rifle is fitted with a custom rail base that is about 50% longer then the BAT rail and its taller as well. As such, after seeing this problem, the rifle was taken down and within an hour, the receiver top holes were drilled and tapped for very large 1/4-28 TPI bolts and the rail base was also modified for these very large screws. This should really be over kill. The bolts I used have huge tapered seat surfaces which should provide more then enough support to control positive and negative shear forces so the rail base should never loosen up in any way. I have now made it my shop policy to convert all these receivers to tapered seat bolts. For the BAT rails I will use 10-32 bolts and for custom rails I will use the larger 1/4-28 tpi bolts if the rail dimensions allow for it. Simply put, the stresses imposed by the 338 Allen Magnum on a rifle this light in both recoil and deceleration are extreme, so an extreme mounting system will be perfect for these rifles. Anyway, it turned out pretty well for how badly it could have turned out so I can not complain about that and found a bug that I have now corrected in this rifle design. Yesterday morning we headed out to try to fill Dads permit. Last of the group. Again, we headed to the same location. Wind was blowing a bit harder then the day before but not bad. In the field there was a group of 10 goats, one decent buck. As we glassed the huge field, I spotted a smaller group of pronghorns on the back side of the field, nearly 2 miles away from our glassing position. There were 5 goats total with two VERY nice bucks. The biggest appeared to have good prongs and good mass as well. I told dad he was probably pushing 80" in score if not breaking over 80". Still the wind was not good at all for a stalk and they were A LONG WAYS out there. Still, nothing else was to be seen so we decided what the hell. We stayed there until the group bedded down for the day. THen we drove down to a point where we were out of sight and then headed out across the prairie to a shallow creek bottom that would give us cover until we got to within 1/2 mile of the herd. Then we would have to figure out what to do from there. After a good 30 minutes of hiking, we came to a small bluff and crawled to its point to locate the herd. We quickly found them but realized they were way past where dad was willing to shoot with his 25-284, Round 700 yards with nothing between us and them but VERY short prairie grass. We set there for 15 minutes or so talking things over and had just about decided to just head right out to them when we heard a low rummble in the air. We looked down the valley past the goats and saw an Air Force heuy on missle silo patrol. THis is common in this area as there are alot of ICBM silos around these parts. He was heading right for us. There were only two does in the herd of pronghorn and they were already on their feet watching the helo. As it neared the herd all rose and started trotting, RIGHT TOWARD US!!!!! They covered a few hundred yards and in the mean time Dad was getting ready and I was ranging the buck. Finally they veered to our left and stopped and looked back at the Heuy that had just passed over them. I ranged the biggest buck at 391 yards. Told dad he was the one farthest to the right and that he was at 391 yards. Seconds later the 25 barked and the buck suddered. Ran 50 yards and then wobbled down to the ground, classic lung shot. We watched the buck for several minuted until we were sure he was dead and then walked up to him. He was a VERY nice buck for this area. 15" tall, 6.5" cutters and mass in the same 6.5" range on the bottom two circumference measurements. His gross score was 79 7/8" B&C, just missing the montana record books by 1/8". Dads shot could not have been placed more perfectly just behind the shoulder. I told him there was a reason he missed those two smaller bucks!!! It took most of the rest of the day to hike back, get the game cart and get back out to the buck and get him loaded up in the truck. About 8 miles of hiking in total as well but well worth it for Dads biggest buck. Two years in a row he has taken the biggest buck of the three of us!!! I could not have been happier for him and the shot he made on a big goat. The hike was tiring but more then worth it to be able to haul back my dads buck!!! So all in all we got three good bucks. All at or over 70" and all in the 14" range or taller. Three very good shots, nearly 400, over 500 and 1300 yards. Take away my mechanical issues and it could not have been better and even with those, turned out very well espeically considering I was able to find a potential problem before customers ran into the problem and now I can correct this before rifles ever go out the door. For those with heavier rifles, this should not be an issue as the recoil velocity and deceleration will be much slower then compared to a lightweight 338 AM in my Xtreme Heavy Sporters. All in all a great time. I do not have pics yet, will get them downloaded and posted very soon. Now back to work for 10 days and then onto deer season!!!! Kirby Allen(50)

Welcome to the GAMP Benelux site
On April 17th 2008 a number of representatives of companies in the pharmaceutical branch founded an ISPE GAMP Community Of Practice for the Dutch market. This meeting took place at the initiative of René van Opstal at the Koning & Hartman premises in Delft. On June 19th the steering committee decided, together with members of the Belgium CSV COP to enlarge the scope of the GAMP COP to the Benelux (Belgium, the Netherlands and Luxemburg).
The COP is linked to the ISPE GAMP forum and the Dutch and Belgium ISPE affiliates. The ISPE GAMP COP Benelux focuses on collecting and providing information and knowledge in the area of GAMP. For this purpose workshops and seminars will be organized supervised by the COP steering committee.
Details about this COP are defined in our Charter.
GAMP® is celebrating 25 years of innovative good practice in 2016!
Starting from an industry initiative in 1991 in response to FDA inspections, today GAMP® is still the leading industry guidance on computer systems compliance, available in several languages.
The GAMP community is an international community, with local groups all around the world (America, UK, Europe, Asia, Japan, ...) promoting the innovative use of automation and computer technology in a risk-based approach for Life Science Industry.
There are a number of emerging hot topics that GAMP has engaged in through sponsorship of Special Interest Groups (SIG) about Cloud, Data Integrity, …. and through publishing GAMP Good Practice Guidances.
As initially the focus was Good Manufacturing Processes (GMP), GAMP is also willingness to tackle technology evolutions in the Life Science Industry related to R&D, Clinical, Medical Devices, etc.
We invite you to celebrate GAMP's 25th Anniversary at ISPE GAMP Europe Regional Conference, Copenhagen, Denmark on 4th October, or looking forward to see you at one of our next local GAMP COP Benelux events!
ISPE GAMP® COP released a Concept Paper entitled "Considerations for a Corporate Data Integrity Program"
Regulatory agencies, as well as industry, rely on accurate information to ensure drug quality and patient safety. If the information associated with a drug product is not accurate, complete, or reliable, a company cannot ensure the safety and efficacy of their product for the patient. Data Integrity therefore has become one of the hottest regulatory and compliance topics impacting the pharmaceutical industry in years.
To help understand the critical success factors for a corporate data integrity program, the ISPE GAMP® COP released a Concept Paper entitled "Considerations for a Corporate Data Integrity Program". The paper addresses the topics of executive sponsorship, cross functional ownership, risk-based prioritization, planning for continuous improvement, and focusing on the data integrity lifecycle. It also provides some practical insights into ensuring the sustainability of the program and the data integrity lifecycle.

I *love* the idea of having WiFi-Access and directly downloading the books - so not being able to load them to my notebook and read them there kinda makes a stupid out of a brilliant idea. I guess I will nearly always have a reader where I have my notebook. But I just want to be able to use *both*.
I mean: if you life in the US and don't have access to Whispernet - how do you get your kindle books? And don't tell me that every little city and every little farm with some kind of internet-access will have a Whispernet-Access...
Newspaper directly to the eReader: WHOA! I preach "this will be the future of newspapers" to everyone not retreating fast enough for the last years - and they implement it! I love it! I mean: Perfect! And then - download only via Whispernet. Why?
Cheaper eBooks than nowadays and reading the first chapter for free? Perfect! But again: Kindle-Fileformat.
It is true not every little city or farm has access to Whispernet however what I've noticed that has been over looked is that you can download the AZW file to your computer and connect the kindle via USB and transfer the file manually. Amazon is only promoting Whispernet for convenience to the customers. You make purchase from the Kindle it's self and with in moment you have your book. Dont even need to touch the computer.
