Slow going on the hunt for turkey, trout
Hunters clad in camouflage took to the woods early Wednesday morning for opening day of the annual spring turkey season, which remains open until the end of the month of May.
The bag limit for the season is just two birds, which provides an indication of the difficulty involved in the hunt. Unlike deer season, turkey hunters must be out of the woods by noon, although most tend to exit much earlier.
Wild turkeys, which have only become established throughout the North Country in the past 25 years or so, currently provide hunters with a truly challenging opportunity to test their skills. The pursuit is an interactive game that requires a hunter to call the birds into shooting range, which is limited to about 25 yards since only shotguns are permitted.
The activity provides an opportunity for humans to communicate with their prey and to deceive the birds with calls as well as decoys.
It is a hunting technique that has roots from mankind's earliest days as hunter-gatherers. There are pictographs of turkey hunters that were scribed thousands of years ago on the sandstone walls of Canyon de Chelly in the Four Corners region of northern Arizona.
It is a very challenging activity, especially since turkeys are naturally very wary, and they have incredible eyesight. If humans had comparable vision, they could read a newspaper from the distance of nearly a football field away.
This amazing vision allows the birds to pick up even the subtlest movements, which are often difficult for hunters to avoid. It is truly a challenge, as the hunters must enter the woods in the darkness of early morning to take up a position, with the intention of calling birds into shooting range.
With the first indication of a bird's direction, the hunter raises the shotgun and points it in the direction of the sound. In the process, they must remain silent and still, which can be frustratingly difficult, especially in the early morning chill. Typically, hunters will team up with one caller and one shooter.
A rush of adrenalin that arrives when the first bird responds to a call often compounds their efforts. The adrenalin rush continues to increase as the bird begins to draw nearer to the hunter's blind. Breathing becomes deeper, and the heart begins to pound as the hunters strive to overcome the urge to fidget. The cold morning air serves to amplify nervous shakes and the adrenalin shivers make it impossible to sit still.
One slip or a false move as minor as the blink of an eye can scare a bird off. It is a game of cat and mouse that is played out over and over in the cool, early morning Adirondack air.
Trout talk
According to most reports on the trout scene, there is really very little to report. Anglers are taking a fair share of stocked rainbows on the Saranac River, as well as some browns and rainbows on the AuSable.
I've spent days checking the beaver dams and the smaller streams with limited success. It appears, as always, that the trout don't come out until the blackflies do, at least on the streams.
The ponds have yet to turn on and reports of brook trout success have been rather limited. The waters are still very cold, and anglers are not finding much brook trout action while using the traditional wabbler/worm trolling technique.
With a few warm days in the forecast, and the potential for a bit of rain, the ponds could turn on. However, this spring has been cooler than expected, and it may take a while before the fish become active.
Currently, the best action appears to come from anglers who are fishing deep, in and around structures such as downed trees and logs with leech imitation jigs or worms. The warmest waters are likely to be found near the southeast ends of the ponds and near the tributaries.
I have heard a few reports of anglers taking a few landlocked salmon and browns on Lake Clear, but there has been very little news about any lake trout taken as of yet.
The smelt have begun to run in most of their traditional flows, but the runs have not been producing much action.
Traditionally, anglers take some of the biggest lake trout of the season in the first few weeks after ice-out, and I expect they will again. As always, the mad rush to the waters has satisfied the anglers' need to wet a line, but their offerings have failed to satisfy the fish.
I expect Mother's Day weekend will continue to be the target date, and until that time most other efforts will be more suited to spring training than spring fishing.

- The bottom layer of your shoe is called the outsole. The outsole provides grip, stability and impact absorptionall critical factors for runners. Outsoles with flexible grooves are designed to provide a more natural gait. Trail-running shoes should have denser outsoles. Lugs and traction-maximizing patterns provide better grip.

Examining the mechanics of your run will help you select the right pair of men's running shoes.
- Consider the movement of your foot while on the run. Runners seeking to counterbalance an inward or outward roll of the heel should seek shoes that provide an increased level of support.
- Neutral shoes: Preserve your natural gait in lightweight footwear that provides increased shock absorption along your course.

- Motion control shoes: This category of athletic shoe offers maximum reinforced stability and support designed to prevent an exaggerated inward roll of the foot.

Welcome to our blog! Sit back, relax & enjoy reading our 'hot off the press' blog posts. We're obsessed with (yup, it's almost a problem :) finding out about the latest trends, cool new places and fun local tips. Whether it's a cute little cafe or a hot new club, you'll read about it here. P.S.: Don't be shy to speak up (this isn't high school!) - we LOVE getting comments.
Thanks a bunch for reading & hope to hear from you!
Interview with tour guide Maria
1.Hi! Tell us a bit about yourself. Where are you from? What are you studying & what are your hobbies?
I'm an adventurous girl that doesn't like stereotypes and is always looking for some fun things to do. Which also explains why I decided to work as a Segway tour guide.
I come from Slovakia, a beautiful Eastern-European country.
I am studying at the University of Economics but I'm planning to change my major soon.
Hobbies? Whatever makes me happy… Dancing, sport, friends, traveling, languages… my list is pretty long. :)
2.Which languages do you speak?
Aussie English :) also German and I think I still remember the basics of Greek. I'm also trying to learn French to impress my boyfriend. :)
3.Which tours do you take care of at Green Lemon? Which are your favourite?
You will mostly bump into me riding a Segway but occasionally you can see me riding our stylish e-bikes. Since I have only had one e-bike tour it's hard to tell which are my favourite.
4. What are your favourite sights that you frequently come across on a Green Lemon tour?
I absolutely admire the view from Most Legií, where I always make the first stop and then the view from Letná park. Once I had a guy on my tour who said "I feel like on top of the world here".
5.Which Czech dish would you recommend to a first-time visitor? What about a dessert?
That's what I usually do when we come back from the tour. Our guests should definitely try svíčková. And as for dessert: traditional trdelník in Karlova street should not be missing on the list of things to eat.
6.How are your tours different? How are they 'you'?
We always have new people going on our tours… Different people means different ways of fun!
7.Which tour would you recommend to someone who's not necessarily a sports freak?
Either the morning one, there are less people in the streets and it is always cooler to say "oh I went for a Segway ride than for a morning run". :) Or the "Dark Knights" tour, there is nothing more romantic than Prague at night.
8.What's the coolest part of being a Prague guide? And what about being a Prague local?
Making people feel like locals is really fun. :) It's great to do this by sharing some great places to go to. And what's great about being a Prague local? Knowing these places off by heart!
9.Tell us an essential Czech word/phrase.
Pivo – no translation needed when you are in the Czech Republic! :)
10. Tell us some Czech 'scoop' :) something (anything!) that foreigners don't know (yet)…
Socks and sandals are still in… and I speak from experience! :)
11. Any shopping tips in Prague? :)
Definitely out of the city in the shopping centre Arkády Pankrác – you will not get lost like in the other shopping centres if you have a lack of orientation like me! :)
12. Tell us – where do you like to hang out when the weather's hot (we need some tips because of this heat wave!)?
Just recently I visited Žluté lázně, I find it is a great spot to cool yourself down. Great bars, good drinks and free outdoor movies every Wednesday! :)

First of all, given that the proceeds go to the Dropkick Murphys' Claddagh Fund to help victims from the Boston Marathon bombings, this EP would be worth buying if it was� 12 minutes of amp feedback. But it just so happens it's worth your time and money based on its merits — the three songs included here stand on their own as stirring Irish punk shout-outs, in addition to being a rowdy, roiling F.U. to anyone who thinks Murphys' beloved Boston could be cowed by anyone.
Springsteen is in full "Mrs. McGrath" mode on the band's reworking of "Rose Tattoo," trading verses with Ken Casey in his trademark Kilkenny-by-way-of-Freehold drawl. The song is ostensibly about Casey's tattoos — the titular one is a tribute to his late grandfather, who raised him — but it could just as easily be about Boston's ever-present and lingering influence on those who come and go from there.
Springsteen always seems fiercer when buoyed by his younger, punkier acolytes, and this track is no exception: When he growls "I signed and sealed these words in blood," there's a fierce anguish that packs searing power, like an Irish "Adam Raised a Cain." (Although New Jersey Devils fans may be chagrined to hear Springsteen extol the virtues of the "black and gold," especially during playoffs.)
Springsteen's vocals sound a little grafted-on to the chorus, but overall "Rose Tattoo" is a worthy addition to Springsteen's recent spate of collaborations, and a fine tribute to one of his most faithful adopted cities.
The other songs on the EP, live acoustic versions of "Don't Tear Us Apart" and "Jimmy Collins' Wake," round things off nicely, once you get used to Casey's unadorned guttural shout — his voice has always been a love-it-or-hate-it proposition, and if you love it you'll appreciate his conviction on these numbers. It's most effective on "Wake," a tribute to the first Red Sox manager — with its pints raised around a casket it's a fitting close to a sad but heartfelt enterprise on the part of one of Boston's most dedicated hometown bands.
You can buy the EP on iTunes.

RIDE24 Seeks Riders for 24h Charity Bike Ride Challenge
by formaldehyde on Feb.02, 2012, under Uncategorized
is now open for RIDE24, the UK's only 24-hour cycling endurance track event, to be held at Goodwood Motor Racing Circuit in Sussex on 23 and 24 June.
Organised by children's charity Action Medical Research and operated under British Cycling technical regulations, the event is open to relay teams of four as well as solo riders.
Teams will need to use stamina, speed, skill and strategy as they compete for the coveted RIDE24 trophy, won by the four-man team that completes the most laps and therefore travels furthest in 24 hours. The winning team will also secure themselves a free place in the French 24 Heures Velo event at the legendary Circuit Bugatti in Le Mans and there are awards for second place and top mixed/female/vets teams.
Running alongside the team event, RIDE24 is also an official qualifying event for Race Across America (RAAM) solo riders, who need to prove they are good enough to take on the world-famous ultra-endurance cycling race. Or the event can provide a unique challenge for lone riders who want to put their speed and stamina to the ultimate test.
Event manager Sarah Stevenson, from Action Medical Research, says: "This is the ultimate in biking challenges and the only event of its kind in the UK, with teams racing day and night around the famous Goodwood circuit. It's your chance to push yourself to the limit in an exciting, well-supported and unforgettable experience, and all for a good cause. We want this year's event to be bigger, better and more competitive than ever so do join us."
Cyclists participating in RIDE24 raise money to help fund medical research into conditions affecting babies and children. Research currently being supported by Action Medical Research includes work around meningitis, epilepsy, cerebral palsy and premature birth, as well as some very rare and distressing conditions that severely affect children. Last year's event raised more than £80,000 for the charity.
There are several different entry options. By taking the fundraising team option, teams of four can enter for £240 and then commit to raising £1,300 in sponsorship. By taking the sportive team option, teams of four can enter for £1,000 with no further payment or sponsorship due. Fundraising solo riders entry is £60, with a commitment to raise £325 in sponsorship. Sportive solo entry is £250 with no further payment or sponsorship due.
For more information about RIDE24 and to register, visit the website www.action.org.uk/ride24. Alternatively, contact Sarah Stevenson on 01273 735788 or email@example.com.

Screaming can be heard for miles across. Search teams are deployed and spend hours upon hours calling. Hearts are suspended mid-air. This routine happens 2000 times a day; every single time a child has gone missing. In response to this horrifying scenario, Good Morning America on ABC found some new gadgets that are now available to help lower that number and aide parents in keeping track of their precious children.
Low Tech Items
These items may be low tech but they are certainly effective. They provide a nice safety net hovering right under your child making the impact of the fall less harsh. The first item featured was the Safety Tat, which was invented by a Baltimore mom concerned about her child's safety. The Safety Tat is a peel and stick applique that can be place on your child. The idea behind this is that the tat features the emergency number that should be contacted if the child gets lost and is found by a stranger. With its waterproof resistance and 5 day endurance, this applique is a perfect and fun accessory for any child. …Read More →

Skip to comments.Karl Rove, Progressive Republican
Posted on 10/20/2010 6:50:35 PM PDT by combat_boots
Karl Rove seems to be taking some heat for his saying the Tea Party is less sophisticated than the Reagan Revolution - enough heat to tug on Tucker Carlson's chain for a slight walk-back, anyway. That's some leash. I guess it extends to Texas after all. Heh! But pay attention to the bit from Rove in bold below. What he calls progress, we call progressivism of the Republican sort. And that's just the sort of big government Republicanism I would link to Karl Rove.
SPIEGEL: But is he so different from other Democratic presidents? Take Lyndon B. Johnson. He introduced Medicare.
Rove: Even LBJ in Medicare insisted upon a robust private role. Obama is culturally and philosophically to the left of Johnson.
SPIEGEL: Are you convinced, then, that the Republican Party will be able to integrate the Tea Party without drifting too far to the right?
Rove: Sure. There have been movements like this before -- the Civil Rights movement, the anti-war movement, the pro-life movement, the Second Amendment rights movement. All of them popped up, insistent, loud, and relatively unsophisticated. They wanted everything now and for politicians to be with them 100 percent of the time. And after an election or two, people wake up saying, our system produces mostly incremental progress and takes time and compromise. That's exactly what's going to happen here.I meet a lot of Tea Partiers as I go around the country, and they are amazing people. Most have never been involved in politics before. This is their first experience, and they have the enthusiasm of people who have never done it before.
SPIEGEL: Is the Tea Party movement a repeat of the Reagan Revolution?

He must be screwing Meghan McCain
I would say he's a brilliant political strategist but its time to let the people lead.
Karl Rove, progressive republican, (D).
Karl Rove, Political prostitute seeking out the highest paying clients,RINOs.
karl rove: legend in his own mind.
Oh please. Who knows how this was edited.
I didn't see the "/sac".
His "brilliant political strategy" gave us...
- A RAT Congress under his watch (2006)
- Set the national table for the election (2008) of the WORST AMERICAN PRESIDENT U.S. HISTORY.
I'm so sick of Karl Rove. It turned my stomach in the Bush years to see this guy hailed as a great architect when what he was doing was convincing the Republican party to bargain with the Democratic-Socialists. What he was doing was selling a hard Progressive Republican to the masses. Bush was disastrous because of his Progressive agenda and conservative Republicans have suffered ever since, thanks to Rove. Big government Progressives like Rove are the reason why the Republicans will be pressured to compromise with Democratic-Socialists, and we cannot allow any further compromises. This country has been moving too fast and too far to the left for far too many years now. Rove needs to go away and conservatives like Hannity and Limbaugh are fools for allowing a Progressive like Rove to have a platform to spew his garbage. They risk their own credibility and relevancy in doing so.
Has he come out and stated he was misquoted?
The compromise he refers to is always to the left, never back to the right.
FOX and Hannity should get him off the air! Let him go on the Rachel Madcow show. He is worthless to our cause.

I don't even want to think about that. Two Rhino-sized RINOs.
I agree!
I wouldn't want to live in ANY building designed by this so-called 'Architect'.
America's Ruling Class -- And the Perils of Revolution By Angelo M. Codevilla
Differences between Bushes, Clintons, and Obamas are of degree, not kind.
I think the term "Progressive Republican" is at least honest. It embodies the same big government principles and objectives that fit under the "Compassionate Conservatism" label. I suspect that most of the people who think of themselves as government conservatives had no objection to "Compassionate Conservatism" (even though they should have); but would reject being tagged as a "Progressive Republican."

Sometimes, complications occur while allowing Microsoft's Add/Remove tool to remove Babylon 7 from your computer. It can leave file on your hard drive wasting hard drive space that you could use for other, more useful files.
With Perfect Uninstaller, you're able to remove unwanted applications, along with all the files associated, and registry entries with a couple clicks of the mouse. It's simple, fast, and completely safe.
Not only will Perfect Uninstaller uninstall Babylon 7, and all of it's files and registry entires, it will remove a ton of other unwanted applications just as easily.
While Microsofts own uninstall tool can do much of the work, it's lazy in it's removal process leaving behind many of the registry entries and files on the hard drive.
This causes slower boot times because Windows still has to read these unnecessary registry entries upon boot, but also causes slow boot times because of the files left on the hard drive causing fragmentation.
What Else Perfect Uninstaller can do for you?
With Perfect Uninstaller, you can uninstall any unwanted applications in your system easier and faster. The standard Add /Remove Program can not often completely uninstall all applications and broken registry keys.
Unlike your own PC Add/Remove Program , Perfect Uninstall can not only uninstall the applications , but also clean the registry files left over themselves. It will protect your PC from corrupted registry errors , improving your PC performance and speed !
"I really wanna to say 'thank you', coz super Uninstall Tool removed all unneeded applications in my computer, and now it runs so smoothly. Don't worry about the empty registry files anymore!"
David - L.D, UK.
"I have many unneeded softwares in my system, and I try to remove them with Windows Add/Remove Program, however it doesn't work for me until I try Perfect Uninstaller."

I have tried isosencha before...a couple years ago when I started to drink japanese greens.
my VERY generalized view is...better bang for buck elsewhere on the individual teas sold in smaller quantity (this assumption based on the 4 samples that were included with my 500g of kabusencha
Decent value for the bulk teas sold 500g in auction (if you get low end price at auction like 10-20 bucks.)
However...I would stick to something harder to get wrong like genmaicha. Kabusencha was very very milky...too milky...but I see other people enjoying this.
I never got passed more then 80g of the kabusencha before I moved on to something more agreeable with me. Think my auction ended at around 15 bucks so it was a pleasant learning experience.

In short: Well organised, quick course and lots more spectators than previous years to add to the atmosphere.In full: A must do for any F1 fans and a great race for beginners who want to do a traffic free 10k. Free parking near the start/finish and chip timing make this excellent value. A good prize list as well. Nice to have a boot bag as a memento, something practical rather than another medal! Date of review: May 9, 2014
In short: Superb organisation, great medal and perfect or spectators. Well done to Ian and the team.In full: Not pan-flat but no major hills. The undulations around the lap help to work different muscles and probably help the PB potential - certainly worked for me! Date of review: June 2, 2013
In short: Very well organised with a huge field of all abilities. Everyone made to feel welcome.In full: Well done to all at Silson Joggers for raising the standard again.

In short: Love the course, great marshals, very enjoyable and a PBIn full: All the outdoor parts of the event were great and I really enjoyed it. Improvements could be made on the organisation inside the sports hall. I had to queue for 15 minutes to collect my number while for other surnames there was no queue. This meant a mad rush to the start and no time for a warm up. T-shirt collection was similar and perhaps this doesn't need to be by surname - you could just put a mark on the runner's number on collection to speed this up.Date of review: September 9, 2011

By Dr Ananya Mandal, MD
Bipolar disorder is a mental health disorder that was previously called manic depressive psychosis or manic depression. The condition is typically characterized by a mood that "swings" from a depressive state where an individual may feel down and lethargic to a manic phase that may cause them to feel hyperactive and jittery.
In a healthy individual, mood swings are usually transient, lasting for a few hours or a day. However, in the case of bipolar disorder, moods may last for weeks or months at a time with a normal mood being the exception.
The depressive phase
It is often the depressive phase that helps identify a person with bipolar disorder. Most patients are initially diagnosed with depression and treatment is begun before the manic phase manifests. Depression is typically characterized by feelings of worthlessness, sorrow, unhappiness, inability to sleep, loss of appetite and lack of interest in hobbies and daily activities. Suicidal tendencies are also common.
The manic phase
Manic phase is typically characterized by feelings of excessive happiness, grand and ambitious planning, enhanced creativity, talking loudly, overspending of money, and an inability to sleep or eat due to excitement. Psychosis may also feature, with the patient experiencing hallucinations or delusions.
Individuals are evaluated for bipolar disorder using psychological tests and a detailed examination of their symptom history. Treatment is focused on controlling the exacerbation and severity of manic and depressive symptoms. Usually, a combination of approaches is used to control the condition, which may include:

It''s totally free to build, you can make amazing pizzas and bread and stuff in it in minutes, it's a tasty wonderful thing. CANWEGETONECANWEGETONECANWEGETONECANWEGETONECANWEGETONECANWEGETONE?
I freaked out a bit at first thinking of how much hard work it would be to maintain, but then I thought it would be nice just to have. We could use it ourselves personally, it takes up just about 1 and a half meters cubed, it would make us all SUPER COOL!
Can I get thoughts on this as soon as, if anyone is dead against or for it. She needs to start planning for it tomorrow.

This is an oft asked question on the forum. Here members can offer advise on how to post photos on TeaChat and size limits and recommendations.
There are several methods of posting photos.
They can be posted using various photo host sites such as photobucket, flickr, and numerous others. Each operates differently and has its own pros and cons which can be discussed here as well. Once you post a photo via your photo host account, there are things you must do and not do in order to keep your photo displayed on the forum.
Also photos can be posted as attachments via the upload attachment feature of the forum. The photo is then maintained by TeaChat. The attachment folder for the forum has to be increased periodically.
Most members prefer to use a photo host site. This option puts more responsibility on the posting member, but after weighing all the pros and cons from a moderator's perspective, I also prefer the photo host option.

I was delighted to find their excellent web site for the first time. I was in need of some supplies before NY Eve and they gave the order special attention and got me the goods when I needed them. It was excellent service supported by individual attention from the head of the Federation.
Extra-emely great service. Will continue to get products from them.
Thanks for the prompt service and quality selections. I built a handmade shuffleboard table, and needed a good source for accessories, you guys are it, for sure. Thanks again...
I submitted my order and received it in two days. I can't complain about the service I received.
Way out here in Hawaii, I expected the order to take weeks for the Shuffleboard Federation to complete - even though I had commented that I would pay extra for other than the ground based delivery services that were assumed. Imagine my delight when within days I had received my rather modestly priced order!

Skip to comments.Switzerland opens drive in 'sex boxes' to make prostitution safer
Posted on 08/18/2013 9:55:02 AM PDT by Impala64ssa
They look like shelters for hikers in a national park, but these wooden sheds in Switzerland have a rather less innocent purpose they provide a discreet location for men to have sex with prostitutes.
The drive-in "sex boxes" as they are being called, will be officially opened on August 26, as part of a drive by authorities in Zurich to regulate prostitution, combat pimping and improve security for sex workers.
The nine garage-style structures, located in a former industrial zone in the west of the city, have been organised with typically Swiss precision.
Drivers will have to follow a clearly marked route along which up to 40 prostitutes will be stationed.
Once they have chosen one of the women and negotiated a fee, they will drive into one of the wooden sheds, which are hung with posters advocating the use of condoms and warning of the risk of Aids.
The sex boxes are equipped with alarms which the prostitutes can activate if they feel in danger from a client.
"We want to regulate prostitution because until now it was the law of the jungle," said Michael Herzig, from Zurich's social welfare department, when the initiative was announced.
"It was the pimps who decided the prices, for instance. We are trying to reach a situation which is better for the prostitutes themselves, for their health and security and also for people who live in Zurich."
The £1.4 million project was approved by voters in Zurich last year in a referendum.
While prostitution is legal in Switzerland, sex workers have to pay a tax of five Swiss francs (£3.50) each night that they work.

They have a sex tax....
If it moves, tax it. If it keeps moving, regulate it. And if it stops moving, subsidize it. ~ Ronald Reagan
So instead of creating a black market for sex they decided to tax it to death...
Whatever happened to the No-Tel Motel...
Government pimping, okay. Individual pimping, not okay. Got it!
Would you like fries with that?
Tell me when is the next Democrat Convention? They may have found their next convention venue.
A cement box with haranguing signs.
A cement box with haranguing signs.
"..geeees,git your foot out of my...dang,your claws need trimmin,you've been eatin sardines again huh?"
Drive in, well yes.
I liked one of the comments following the article...
"So now the government is the pimp."
Maybe I need an anatomy lesson. I mean if you got the hooker, ain't ya got one of those already?
This is the stupid thing about Europe, they somehow think they can make the worst things "safer". Like Islam. They think by letting massive number of Islamics come to Europe they can tame them.
dumb dumb
Swiss pimp: Knock knock
Laz: OK. Who's there?
Swiss pimp: Little old lady.
Laz: Umm. I'll hit it:
Little old lady who?
Swiss pimp: Yodel all you vant, you are getting toothless Gertie.
She's got seniority.
I often wonder how they survived this long. Seriously. I mean we have plenty of stupid, but dear God...
It's frikking cold in Switzerland. I must be getting old, being warm trumps all other needs. Men continue to confound me with the level of discomfort they'll put up with for sex. I dunno sitting in a cold concrete box with some Swiss hooker? Not really appealing, I think I'd opt for the Japanese route. (:
Drivers will have to follow a clearly marked route along which up to 40 prostitutes will be stationed.
Once they have chosen one of the women and negotiated a fee, they will drive into one of the wooden sheds, which are hung with posters advocating the use of condoms and warning of the risk of Aids.
The sex boxes are equipped with alarms which the prostitutes can activate if they feel in danger from a client.
You know, at this point, if you're still interested in having sex, there's something wrong with you.
Seriously, there is probably a tax funded shuttle taking the hookers from Needle Park to these "huts".
I hope they're self-cleaning.
I'm confused. Do you still have to do it in your car after you drive into the garage? If so, the heck with that. Been there and done that as a teen. Never again. At least in a car seat, that is.
Unionized, eh?
Government, taxes and whores.
Go together just like a burger, cola and fries.
In Switzerland they run like clockwork and come on time!
Remember the definition of "Hell"
-Where the food is British
-The cars are French
-The police are German
-The lovers are Swiss
....and the whole thing is run by Italians

I finished of the first day of the [IBM System Storage Technical University 2011] by presenting two topics. These were repeated on day 3 for those who missed it today.
- IBM Information Archive for email, files and eDiscovery
Not too many people have heard of IBM's Smart Archive strategy and the storage products IBM offers to meet compliance regulations. This session covered the following:
- The differences between backup and archive, including a few of my own personal horror stories helping companies who had foolishly thought that keeping backup copies for years would adequately serve as their archive strategy
- The differences between optical media, Write-Once Read-Many (WORM) media, and Non-Erasable, Non-Rewriteable (NENR) storage options.
- Why putting a [space heater] on your data center floor is a bad idea, driving up power and cooling costs for little business value to the enterprise once the unit is full of rarely accessed read-only data.
- An overview of the [IBM Information Archive], an integrated stack of servers, storage and software that replaces previous offerings such as the IBM System Storage DR550 and the IBM Grid Medical Archive Solution (GMAS).
- The marketing bundle known as the [Information Archive for Email, Files and eDiscovery] that combines the Information Archive storage appliance with Content Collectors for email and file systems, as well as eDiscovery tools, and implementation services for a solution that can support a small or medium size business, up to 1400 employees.
- IBM Tivoli Storage Productivity Center v4.2 Overview and Update
Many of the concerns raised when I [presented v4.1 at this conference last year] were addressed this year in v4.2, including full performance statistics for IBM XIV storage system, storage resource agent support for HP-UX and Solaris, and a variety of other issues.
I presented this overview in stages:
- "Productivity Center Basic Edition" that comes pre-installed on the IBM System Storage Productivity Center hardware console, that provides discover of devices, basic configuration, and a clever topology viewer of what is connected to what.
- "Productivity Center for Disk" and "Productivity Center for Disk Midrange Edition (MRE)" that provides real-time and historical performance monitoring, asset and capacity reporting.
- "Productivity Center for Replication" which supports monitoring, failover and failback for FlashCopy, Metro Mirror and Global Mirror on the SVC, Storwize V7000, DS8000, DS6000 and ESS 800.
- "Productivity Center for Data" which supports reporting on files, file systems and databases on DAS, SAN and NAS attached storage from a Operating System viewpoint.
- "Productivity Center Standard Edition" which includes all of the above except "Replication", and adds performance monitoring of SAN Fabric gear, and some very clever analytics to improver performance and problem determination.
One of the questions that came up was "How big does my company have to be to consider using Productivity Center?" which I answered as follows:
"If you are a small company, and the "IT Person" has responsibilities outside the IT, and managing the few pieces of kit is just part of his job, then consider just using the web-based GUI through a Firefox or similar browser. If you are a medium sized company with dedicated IT personnel, but mostly run by system admins or database admins that manage storage and networks on the side, you might want to consider the "Storage Control" plug-in for IBM Systems Director. But if you are larger shop, and there are employees with the title "Storage Administrator" and/or "SAN Administrator", then Tivoli Storage Productivity Center is for you."
Tivoli Storage Productivity Center has matured into a fine piece of software that truly can help medium and large sized data centers manage their storage and storage networking infrastructure.
I like speaking the first day of these events. Often people come in just to hear the keynote speakers, and stay the afternoon to hear a few break-out sessions before they leave Tuesday or Wednesday for other meetings.

Pictured Rocks superintendent leaving
MUNISING – Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore Superintendent Jim Northup will leave his post in early March to become the new superintendent at Shenandoah National Park in Virginia, returning to the park he first worked at as a seasonal employee in 1979.
Northup, who came to Pictured Rocks as superintendent in 2005 from Great Smoky Mountains National Park, said he has been selectively looking for another opportunity with the park service for a while.
"When I leave it will be just shy of eight years, which is the longest I've ever stayed at any park," Northup said. "I've been very choosy because we've just loved it here."
Northup and his wife, Phyllis -an artist and art teacher who has encouraged others to get out and enjoy Pictured Rocks- have been popular residents in the community.
"It has been my great privilege to serve as the superintendent of Pictured Rocks," Northup said. "This is a very special place. My wife and I have loved it here and it will be very hard to leave. But this is an outstanding professional opportunity.
Northup thanked park staff and all of the partners who have made his tenure such a wonderful experience. An acting superintendent for Pictured Rocks will be named, likely before Northup leaves March 8. A search for a permanent replacement will likely take several months.
Northup said the move to Virginia will be a promotion for him, with a larger park operation to supervise. He will begin shopping for a new home once he arrives, with Phyllis likely staying in Alger County for a few months of transition, while the couple's Munising Township home is sold.
At Shenandoah National Park, Northup will succeed Martha Bogle, who retired last month after 33 years with the National Park Service. In this capacity, Northup will also oversee operation of nearby Cedar Creek and Belle Grove National Historical Park. He will lead a staff of more than 200 employees and manage a base budget of more than $13 million at the two parks.
During his Pictured Rocks tenure, Northup focused on a variety of issues including improving community relations, obtaining Congressional designation of the Beaver Basin Wilderness and working with Alger County on the design and reconstruction of Alger County Highway 58.
Northup started the park's Community Partner Program, the Adopt-a-Trail/Adopt-a-Campsite Program, the Discover Your Lakeshore Program and several initiatives with the park's gateway communities of Munising and Grand Marais. Northup also played a key role in the establishment of the National Parks of Lake Superior Foundation, the non-profit fundraising partner of the five NPS units on Lake Superior.
Other achievements have included completing other actions called for in the park's 2004 General Management Plan, working with Pictured Rocks Cruises to establish a formal concession contract for that important visitor service, expanding the park's public interpretive programs and improving working conditions for employees.
Shenandoah National Park encompasses over 197,000 acres of Virginia's Blue Ridge Mountains, including the 105-mile Skyline Drive; over 500 miles of trails; 101 miles of the Appalachian Trail, several concession operated lodges and restaurants and 79,579 acres of wilderness.
Cedar Creek and Belle Grove National Historical Park commemorates a nationally significant Civil War landscape and antebellum plantation in the Shenandoah Valley and is managed in partnership with several other organizations.

With rapper (and former drug dealer) Pusha T rolling into the Newport Friday, we're counting down our 10 favorite fictional pushers.
10. Lance, "Pulp Fiction"
Vincent Vega's bathrobe-wearing heroin dealer (played by Eric Stoltz) has a pretty good life full of cereal-eating and television-watching … until his customer brings an overdose victim back to his living room.
9. Big Worm, "Friday"
Playin' with Big Perm, I mean Big Worm's money is like playin' with his emotions.
8. Ricky Fitts, "American Beauty"
When Ricky wasn't artfully filming plastic bags being tossed by the wind, he was dealing government-grade weed to his suburban neighbors.
7. Tony Montana, "Scarface"
Al Pacino's iconic turn in "Scarface" is one for the ages, setting the standard for opulent, self-aggrandizing dealers and giving rappers endless reference points. Plus his line, "It's OK, another Quaalude, she gonna love me again," is drug-dealer romanticism at its finest.
6. Jay & Silent Bob, "Clerks"
The lovable corner weed dealers from "Clerks" became the breakout stars of the Kevin Smith universe. "Who smokes the blunts? We smoke the blunts."
5. Jabba the Hutt, "Return of the Jedi"
Screw Scarface. This intergalactic drug kingpin had his own Rancor, motherf---er.
4. Nancy Botwin, "Weeds"
Mary Louise-Parker's performance as the suburban pot-dealing mom was one of television's greatest characters of all-time — even if Nancy was kind of a terrible dealer, and the show went off the rails toward its conclusion.
3. Marlo Stanfield, "The Wire"
The seminal HBO series featured a number of illustrious and charismatic drug dealers (Stringer Bell, Avon Barksdale), but Marlo was dedicated to the corner like no one else. He was ruthless, power-hungry and methodic about his work, probably because he loved it so much.
2. Saul Silver, "Pineapple Express"
James Franco's stoner/dealer proves to be a loyal friend who's there when stuff goes down. And he's only dealing so he can put his bubbeh in a nice retirement home.
1. Walter White, "Breaking Bad"
No other drug dealer produced and peddled a product as quality as Heisenberg's blue meth. As The One Who Knocks so succinctly put it, "It's grade-school tee-ball vs. the New York Yankees. Yours is just some tepid off-brand, generic cola. What I'm making is classic Coke … say my name!" Side note: Although he'd never admit it, Walt would've never been able to do what he did without the help of his sidekick Jesse Pinkman (Aaron Paul).

Although their services don't come cheap, signing the right free agent is the quickest way to address a team's major needs. Just as Marian Gaborik has helped unleash the Los Angeles Kings' full potential with the man advantage, signing a power-play specialist like Mike Cammalleri or Radim Vrbata can make all the difference in 2014-15. Who are this season's best free-agent power-play options?
Analytics can be used to answer this question in a way that's free of personal opinion. This ranking is ordered by the rate at which each player scores on the power play over the past three seasons combined.
All but the first of the unrestricted free agent (UFA) on this list score at least 4.5 points per 60 minutes. Those who just missed the list, like most prominently Derek Roy, Jarome Iginla and Marian Gaborik, do not.
Obviously the list is biased against defensemen who aren't in on as much of the scoring as the forwards, and there's consequently only one of them included. Andrei Markov, Dan Boyle and Marek Zidlicky are other good options on the point for those looking to improve their work with the man advantage through free agency.
While this ranking was composed in fashion that's free of personal opinion, that doesn't mean that there's no room for any. Please use the comments section to generously provide your own suggestions. Let's begin!
