Madrid, Spain (Sports Network) - Spanish hero Rafael Nadal was an easy second-round winner at the $4.425 million Madrid Open.
After receiving a first-round bye, the fifth-seeded former world No. 1 star handled Frenchman Benoit Paire 6-3, 6-4 Wednesday on the red clay at The Magic Box.
The hot Nadal is now a gaudy 27-2 this season and seeking a fifth title in his seventh tournament of 2013. He titled in Barcelona just two weeks ago.
The reigning French Open king is a two-time Madrid titlist and two-time runner-up here.
Meanwhile, sixth-seeded 2012 Madrid runner-up Tomas Berdych overcame 6-foot-8 Pole Jerzy Janowicz 6-7 (3-7), 6-3, 6-2 to secure his 400th career ATP match win and resurgent 13th seed Tommy Haas topped long-time Spanish favorite Tommy Robredo 6-3, 7-5. The 35-year-old Haas is fresh off his clay-court championship in Munich in his native Germany last week.
The Czech slugger Berdych lost to three-time champion Roger Federer in last year's Madrid Open finale.
Also on Day 4, 14th-seeded quality Japanese Kei Nishikori drubbed Serb Viktor Troicki 7-5, 6-2 at this French Open tune-up.

Yellowstone Cutthroat Trout, which are not native to Duck Fork Reservoir, were the target of the Rotenone treatments on Sept. 23. Situated four miles north of Ferron Reservoir, Duck Fork is slated to be restocked in late October with Colorado River Cutthroat Trout, a native species.
Duck Fork will be a brood lake for this genetically pure native trout, which will enhance conservation of the species and supply fish to be used in stocking other fisheries in southeastern Utah. The fish used to restock Duck Fork after this eradication are being imported from the White River drainage.
Louis Berg, safety crew leader, said the project was completed in a little more than two days. After that, tests will be done to determine if the Yellowstone cutthroat has been completely eradicated before restocking of the Colorado River cutthroat can be accomplished. The chemical dissipates rather quickly, so no long terms effects are expected.
Three crews consisting of 12 men and women, the safety crew, the reservoir crew, and the stream crew, began at 6 a.m. and after traveling to the reservoir, and having a complete safety meeting, began the treatment at about 10 a.m. The reservoir crew began distributing the chemicals around the lake. The stream crew set up 16 drip tanks, one at each tributary entering the lake to treat the fresh water coming in. Another part of the stream crew had backpack sprayers and began treating the surrounding areas, all the standing water and springs. While the safety crew oversaw the handling of the chemicals, the activity surrounding the lake was ongoing.
To prevent any leakage of the Rotenone into downstream waters, the outlet gate of the reservoir was closed and downstream is closely monitored for any possible chemical leaks. The drip tanks are set up to dispense 35 gallons of diluted chemical every 24 hours, and are monitored every two hours, around the clock, to insure the proper distribution of the chemical. These tanks will be filled twice during this treatment A large supply of potassium permanganate was on hand to detox any spillage or treat any chemical leakage into areas where it is not wanted.
Rotenone is made from the leguminous roots of plants native to South America. The chemical alters the hemoglobin in the fish making it impossible for the body to assimilate any of the oxygen taken in. All the workers in close proximity to the actual product are required to wear full Tyvek suits and respirators. No chemical is allowed to come in contact with the skin or breathed in. The dead fish are left in the reservoir for the birds and other scavengers and this treatment does not effect the meat of the fish and is of no harm to anything that eats it.

Hockey ain't Baseball, stats-lovers
Jason Gregor
January 24 2009 03:29PM
Sabremetrics and Moneyball have worked in baseball, but would the same work in hockey?
To me the sports are just too different to allow statistical data to overtake live scouting. Willis mentioned Sabremetrics as a key to the success of the Red Sox, and while I agree it had something to do with their success, I think JW missed an obvious statistical equation with Epstein and the Red Sox: money.
Look at their salaries compared to other teams. To say it was Sabremetrics that won them the World Series, without at least mentioning their gross salary advantage is a bit misleading.
Moneyball makes a much better argument because Oakland made the playoffs four out of the last nine years with a payroll that was always in the bottom ten of team salaries, and three of those years in the bottom five. They had half and sometimes 1/3 of the salary of the Yanks and Red Sox.
Billy Beane's theory worked to get them to the playoffs, but only once did they win a series. Epstein made the playoffs but the Red Sox were always in the top five in salary, so I think their success is based as much, if not more, on money as Sabermetrics. If anything, the Red Sox championships prove why baseball needs a true salary cap. Sure, the Rays -- after years of being the laughingstock of the league -- made the playoffs last year, but how long before they lose all of their young players to free agency? It's a joke when you have the Yanks at $209 million, which is $70 million more than any other team, and almost FIVE times more than the Rays $43 million. I think Moneyball and Sabermetrics was more a product of survival than anything else.
The other reason why stats work better in baseball is that every play starts the exact same way. The pitcher pitches, and the batter tries to hit it. Sure there are lefties and righties to take into the equation, but the play always starts in the exact same spot.
That is not the case in hockey, nor will it ever be. Players have to react much more quickly in many different areas of the game. That doesn't mean stats aren't valuable in hockey, and are becoming more common, but the variables in hockey differ from play-to-play and situation-to-situation much more than they do in baseball.
Baseball junkies don't pipe up and say that hitting a fastball or change up is harder, because I agree it is super tough, but that is more of a twitch muscle reaction and great hand eye coordination. The game of baseball is not as fast, thus split second decisions in hockey happen more frequently. An average hockey player has to make 500-600 decision a game, (based on 13 minutes of icetime), and most of them have to made instantly.
In baseball it's different, thus the stats can better show the attributes of a player. In hockey, for the same type of stats to work, you would have to break every play down, with every variable. Teams forecheck differently, sometimes a D-man makes a pass with no pressure, while other times he is pressured by the opposition. Are some D-men better at passing across their body, or straight up the ice?
Face-off stats for example could be more accurate if you had: taken on forehand v. backhand... and whether the opponent was on his forehand or backhand. Most guys are naturally better drawing it back on their backhand. I'm sure those stats are coming, but in a game that relies a lot on pure instincts and split second decisions, I think it's harder to find accurate statistical data that will back up whether a player is contributing to his team.
In baseball, a great defensive infielder has amazing reaction time, and the error stat backs it up. In hockey, I don't see giveaways as an accurate enough stat, especially because guys who handle the puck more often will obviously have more giveaways. Hemsky has led the Oilers in giveaways for many years, but no one thinks he can't handle the puck.
Also in Sabremetrics, they feel that drafting a college ball player has a much higher rate of success than drafting a high school player. We will need to see at least a 15-20 year study to see if this is indeed true. That doesn't seem to be the case in hockey. Almost all of the top young players have come from Major Junior or the European leagues the last ten years, and beyond. Crosby, Kane, Oveckin, Phaneuf, Getzlaf, Carter, Richards, Malkin to name a few.
Currently in the top 30 scorers the only two to play college were Zack Parise, and he left after two seasons and Todd White (**Side note -- Todd White top 30 in scoring: I'd love the statistical breakdown on how that is possible. Todd freaking White! Nothing explains why he's there
But I digress. I'm never one to automatically shun something just because it is different, and I think that some statistical analysis can show sides of a hockey player we never looked at before, but at the same time I think too much of it could make the game robotic.
The best part about hockey is the raw emotion and excitement. The end-to-end rush, a tic-tac-toe goal, a bone-crushing hit, the elation of the crowd, the willingness of a player to try and block a Souray or Chara shot (I'll take Souray in an upset in the hardest shot later today -- 105 for Souray, 104 Chara), a spirited scrap and most of all the mistakes that lead to odd-man rushes or even better goals.
The speed of the game is increasing all of the time, thus the players have to react even quicker, and that will lead to great plays, but also mistakes which the game needs.
I appreciate baseball for the nuances it has, but I also realize it is a much slower game and for me personally not nearly as exciting. Hockey is too fast to break it down in the same fashion as baseball, and that is what makes it great.
Of course hockey could use an upgrade in certain statistical areas, but to breakdown every aspect of the game would be too difficult and I can't see how the data would be accurate. The guys making the grades are just as likely to make mistakes as the players on the ice. Like I said, I can see areas that it could help, but until they come up with stats for heart, determination, a willingness to compete and battle I just can't see how a contact sport can rely on statistical data as much as a non-contact sport like baseball.

Well no, it doesn't necessarily follow that they had an advantage in the playoffs because of money. .... ... given that Oakland was benefitting from a ton of players whose value wasn't recognized and guys who were still in the cheap years of their contracts, I'm not convinced that the money difference means that muhc.
Baseball is at best a passing interest for me so I have no clue as to how the teams you guys are comparing were made up but how much does experience play a part in the comparison?
If Oakland's success was based on getting production from players in the cheap years of their contracts I would assume a lack of inexperience is also a part of that. If the Yankees for example are overpaying then I would assume that they are overpaying in part because of experience.
When it comes to the playoffs inparticular I would think having players with experience must be enough to account for the "luck factor".
And if that is the case then certainly money spent plays into the equation.
Gregor, you might know something about hockey but don't pretend to be an expert on baseball.
I am not an expert either but ...
a) the difference in drafting college guys vs high school guys in baseball has to do with age. HS guys are 18. College guys are typically 21 due to the eiligibility requirements. Beane and JP Riccardi have traditionally decided that you can make better judgements on where a guy will be when he is 25 when you are looking at a 21/22 year old. As well, the studies show that pitchers tend to get injured at a high rate - especially at a young age. HS pitchers are not a good bet. I could go on, but the point is that this discussion is not applicable to the the hockey draft because everyone is 18.
b) the college discussion is useful in judging guys who were not drafted. Many guys can develop significantly in college due to being late bloomers, taking advantage of good programs, becoming more mature etc. The Ducks have done very well with college undrafted guys such as the Oilers signing Brian Lerg.
c) Moneyball has more to do with taking advantage of players who are undervalued by the other teams than stats. Oakland recognized that OBP is the most important aspect of an offensive players value. A player who hit .300/.335 is worth less than a player who hits .250/.360 yet the baseball community valued the former as more valuable. This concept of buying low is directly applicable to hockey. Detroit has done so with Europeans, the Ducks with College seniors, the Oilers even tried with drafting guys like Pisa and Jussi M. Areas to be exploited include overcoming the bias regarding size, Europe etc.
d)Oakland's success had more to do with great starting pitching than anything. Hudson, Mulder and Zito would make any GM look smart. Since they have gone, Beane has not been as successful.
e)In hockey, the draft is a complete crapshoot. Figuring out where a player will be when he is in his prime at age 18 is very problmematic. However, simply taking a players stats and looking at his points produced based on time on ice might have reduced Schremp's value somewhat as his high point total was based not only on his talent but his high playing time in London. This is stats. Looking at a players value at even strength also seperates out guys who make a living on the powerplay. This is stats too. I imagine lots of GM's look at a guy in junior and see 39G 60A and figure this guy is going to be a scorer in the NHL. If they were to do a little analysis, they would realize the guy likely won't be on the PP in the NHL and that they should be looking at the his Even Strength production. If 25 goals were scored on the PP, maybe this guys isn't a first round pick anymore.
f) baseball analysis is greatly enhanced by the fact that there are limited number of outcomes from an at bat and that players play static roles. Even the mighty Bill James would admit that the baseball world has not been able to adequately judge defence based on range etc do to the many variables involved (depth, speed of ball, surface, speed of runner etc).
g) you are correct in that hockey will never be able to judge the value of a player based solely on stats because there are simply too many aspects to judge and players play both ways. A goal against is due to many factors including the goalie. However, I think your bias is that stats are not worth much. In fact they are. A good GM will apply statistical analysis the numbers to a bunch of players allowing him to target certain players that are being overlooked. He then can scout that player more specifically. I expect a GM that will do this will win more trades and more games than the traditional Don Cherry types.

I don't recall saying I'm an expert anywhere on Baseball. I said that baseball uses more stats and I think it is a sport where stats can tell more of the story than they do in hockey.

Why even mention Riccardi in the same boat as Beane? He hasn't had near the success rate, and the Jays record shows that his ability to evaluate talent is not where it needs to be.Ducey wrote:

I never said stats aren't worth much, but rather the way hockey is played it makes it harder to find stats that are applicable. Of course stats are useful, I just don't see how they will match up to the statistical analysis of baseball.
January 28 2009, 06:52PM
I think there's a bit of a definition problem here. The view of "statistics" you present here is dated. Baseball has moved beyond the stationary view of the game and the (X+Y)/(A+B) approach that Bill James used because he didn't have any other data at his disposal.
Just a couple of simple examples: Ultimate Zone Rating (now at least 8 years old), which uses observations of the speed and trajectory of every batted ball to measure fielding ability; and Pitch-F/X, which gives you release point and location data for every pitch thrown. This data's being tracked because people realized that baseball is not a stationary game that you can measure using the basic statistics that were developed in 1876.
Interestingly, a lot of the analysis you see of this new kind of data is really simple - the big deal is that you've got reams and reams of what amounts to subjective (or objective in the case of Pitch-F/X) scouting information, and someone is looking for patterns in it.
If you don't think this kind of thing can be applied to hockey, I'd point to Dennis' work over at Mudcrutch's site. He's doing something very simple - watching games, recording when there's a scoring chance, and writing down who's on the ice - and then he just adds all the chances together. He's scouting the game, except he's being rigorous and recording everything - but his final "statistical" analysis is really, really simple - yet extremely powerful.
I don't see how you could argue that you get less out of Dennis' approach than you do out of "watching the game" without objectively keeping track of what happened. Indeed, I'm sure that the best teams employ people to watch film and count exactly the kinds of things that Dennis counts.
In terms of analysis, hockey's about 20 years behind baseball, and that long ago, it didn't seem like all this "math" was going to have an impact on the game. But if the NHL were to stick RFID tags on every player and the puck and track their location throughout the entire game, we'd have some very simple but significant analytical results with a matter of years.

Ulster welcome back Ireland forwards Declan Fitzpatrick, Iain Henderson and Chris Henry for the RaboDirect PRO12 clash against Zebre.
Backline players Paddy Jackson, Darren Cave and Chris Cochrane are the other players coming into the team, while there are a further two positional switches.
Dublin born winger Neil Walsh, who joined Ulster last month after a three year spell playing for Melbourne Rugby Club, could make his debut after being named among the replacements. If he makes an appearance on Friday night he will be the 46th player to represent the Province this season, 41 of which are Irish qualified.
Fitzpatrick's inclusion means Tom Court will revert back to loosehead prop, with Rob Herring again starting at hooker. Captain Johann Muller and Lewis Stevenson continue their second row partnership, while flankers Henderson and Henry are joined by Robbie Diack in the back row.
Jackson has replaced Stuart Olding at flyhalf and will line up outside Ruan Pienaar (scrum-half). Cave's return to the number 13 jersey sees Luke Marshall move inside, with Cochrane joining Andrew Trimble and Ricky Andrew in the back three.
Joining Walsh as the backline options on the bench are young Belfast Harlequins half backs Michael Heaney and Stuart Olding. Front row cover is provided by Niall Annett, Callum Black and John Afoa, who returns to the squad after a three week absence. Neil McComb and Mike McComish are also included in the 23.
Meanwhile, with the international break for the Azzurri test side two players are back in Zebre colours, with backs Paolo Buso and Gonzalo Garcia returning.
Friday will also mark the first game with Marco Bortolami as skipper of the white and black stripes after making his first start for the new Italian franchise last Sunday.
Ulster: 15 Ricky Andrew, 14 Andrew Trimble, 13 Darren Cave, 12 Luke Marshall, 11 Chris Cochrane, 10 Paddy Jackson, 9 Ruan Pienaar, 8 Robbie Diack, 7 Chris Henry, 6 Iain Henderson, 5 Lewis Stevenson, 4 Johann Muller (capt), 3 Declan Fitzpatrick, 2 Rob Herring, 1 Tom Court.
Replacements: 16 Niall Annett, 17 Calum Black, 18 John Afoa, 19 Neil McComb, 20 Mike McComish, 21 Michael Heaney, 22 Stuart Olding, 23 Neil Walsh.

The Big Americans
Albers, Frankenthaler, Hockney, Johns, Lichtenstein, Motherwell, Rauschenberg, Stella
4 October 2002 - 27 January 2003
What happens when a talented artist experiences the creative environment of a Kenneth Tyler print workshop? The National Gallery of Australia's major collection of editioned original prints, unique proofs, screens, paperworks, illustrated books and multiples produced at the various Tyler workshops from the 1960s to the present day by a select group of artists answers this question. These works document the extraordinary story of artist and printer collaboration in postwar America.
In September 1965, Tyler was in his early 30s when he started his own print workshop, Gemini Ltd, in the back room of a frame shop on Melrose Avenue, Los Angeles. In January 1966, he established the fine print publishing house Gemini GEL [Graphic Editions Limited] further along Melrose Avenue. Gemini GEL achieved its renown because of Tyler's belief in the infinite possibilities of printmaking and the art of collaboration. He said to his artists: 'Here is a workshop, there are no rules, no restrictions, do what you want to do.' He took inspiration from Pablo Picasso's methods of printmaking where the rulebook was thrown out. Otherwise, 'if you have all these "can'ts" in there you change the nature of creativity'. Tyler continued with this philosophy at his later studios, first at Bedford and then at the purpose-built workshop at Mount Kisco - both in upstate New York on the east coast of America.
Many significant artists
have produced some of their finest work in an environment that celebrates
creativity - a Tyler print workshop. Josef Albers, Helen Frankenthaler,
David Hockney, Jasper Johns, Roy Lichtenstein, Robert Motherwell, Robert
Rauschenberg and Frank Stella - artists who work in diverse styles to
produce their distinctive subject matter - have adopted a range of working
practices in collaboration with Tyler. Chameleon-like, the master printer
has changed his disposition and approach in response to their different
temperaments and needs.
The Big Americans highlights the extraordinary contributions these major artists have made to printmaking from the 1960s to the present. They also excelled in other media, and the exhibition features a selection of key related paintings, sculptures and photographs from international and Australian collections.

In years past, capturing the wonder of underwater life was left to those traveling with Jacques Cousteau or National Geographic. Today's cameras offer the recreational water enthusiast the thrill of capturing their experiences to share with others. With so many camera manufacturers getting in on the underwater photography craze, it can be overwhelming to decide which one is best for you. The first thing to decide is how seriously you want to dive into underwater photography. If you're an avid scuba diver with a basic knowledge of photography, you may want to consider investing in a single reflex lens camera (SLR) so you have more control and can purchase upgrades, such as wide angle lenses and strobe lights. However, most us are looking for a compact, point and shoot digital camera that we can trust to take on our adventures or send along with the kids on theirs.
We went in search of what experts across the internet are saying about the best rugged digital cameras. Researching reviews at Cnet, PCMag, LensTip, and Digital Photography Review, we came up with a list of the 5 best underwater cameras that repeatedly got the best marks across the board. You may want to check out LensTip for sample pictures from some of the underwater cameras, while Digital Photography Review offers handy side-by-side comparison charts.
Underwater Housing Systems
If you already have a digital camera that you're happy with- compact or SLR- you may just want to get an underwater housing for your camera. Underwater housing is a watertight plastic encasing designed specifically for your camera. A good source for these systems is Ikelite. They offer a wide range of housings for digital cameras, including discontinued models. These high quality housings offer scuba divers more depth, typically 200 feet, and allow for full access to the camera controls. One drawback though is that they can be just as expensive as the camera itself and this setup is just for underwater photography. If you're looking for a more all-around rugged camera then check out the following 5 picks:
Pentax Optio W90 Underwater Camera
Pentax is not a stranger to making a rugged, waterproof camera. The Optio W90 is the 11th generation underwater camera from Pentax. It's waterproof up to 20 feet, shockproof up to 4 feet, and coldproof to 14 degrees Fahrenheit. Features include 12.1 megapixels, a 28 mm wide angle 5x zoom lens, and a 2.7 inch LCD screen that can be viewed underwater. You'll notice three LED lights surrounding the lens which help illuminate macro pictures.
This review by Cnet gave the Pentax Optio W90 an excellent rating with 4 out of 5 stars. They liked the features available for this price point and gave the design a 9 out of 10 rating. Testers at LensTip gave it an 8 out of 10 for underwater picture quality, while Cnet gave it a 7 out of 10. Not perfect, but better than most rugged cameras. Both sites liked the comfort and size of the controls. This is important for underwater, one-handed shooting or gloved hands. On the downside, the battery life is short and missing from the features is an optical image stabilizer.
You can get it on Amazon for $389.99.
Panasonic Lumix DMC-FT2
The 14.1 megapixel Panasonic Lumix DMC-FT2 won the distinction of PCMag's editor's choice for best rugged camera. According to testers at both LensTip and PCMag, the Panasonic blows the competition out of the water, especially when it comes to the detailed quality of both pictures and HD video at depths beyond 10 feet. The Panasonic is waterproof up to 33 feet, shockproof from 6 feet, and freezeproof to 14 degrees Fahrenheit. It offers the LED light that comes on automatically when light is dim. Another important feature is a power optical image stabilizer which detects hand shake to eliminate blurry pictures. LensTip reviewers also loved the new silicon sleeve that comes with the camera to offer even more protection from scratches and the inevitable fine sand particles that can sneak in.
The Lumix boasts an extended battery life and is one of the first digital cameras to use the high capacity SDXC card for video storage. There were some issues though that testers picked up on. The beach and sand mode was not as brilliant in coloring as the underwater or dry land modes. PCMag, along with a few Amazon reviewers, noted some lens fog under certain situations. Also, the controls were not quite as user friendly as the Pentax with the zoom control being too close to the shutter release. At a list price of $349.95, the Panasonic is one of the more costly choices, but you are paying for better features and picture quality.
Currently sells for $290.63 on Amazon.
Canon PowerShot D10 Underwater Camera
The 12.1 megapixel PowerShot D10 is the first offering by Canon in a rugged digital camera. By reading reviews at PCMag and Cnet, one would soon learn that this would be a good option if you're looking for a digital camera strictly for recreational use: snorkeling, skiing, boating, or poolside. Because of it's bulk, the Canon Powershot D10 doesn't transfer well to use as an everyday camera. However, the design is well suited if you're wearing gloves in an underwater setting. The auto settings make it easy to capture high quality images. It's waterproof to 33 feet, freezeproof to 14 degrees Fahrenheit, and shockproof from 4 feet.
The Canon delivers when it comes to fast performance, beating most other rugged cameras in start up time and shutter lag, with the exception of the Panasonic. Reviewers also liked the brilliant LCD screen that stood up to bright light. It does feature an optical stabilizer, however it does not have the ability to shoot HD video, only standard VGA video, which could be a deal breaker if you want high quality video. The Canon PowerShot D10 is one of the more simple cameras to use, good for those who don't want to mess with settings too much, but not if you're looking for something with more features. And with a list price of $299.00, you may not feel like you're getting the most bang for your buck. But if ease of use is your priority while you're having fun, then the Canon PowerShot is a solid choice.
You can get it for $279.00 on Amazon.
Fujifilm FinePix XP10 Underwater Camera
The 12 megapixel FujiFilm FinePix XP10 is our budget pick for an underwater digital camera. You may not get all the bells and whistles as with the other underwater camera entries, but with an easy to swallow list price of $149.00, the Fuji would be a good option for the budget-conscious, occasional water enthusiast. The folks at Lenstip tested this model which offers waterproofing up to 10 feet, freezeproofing to 14 degrees Fahrenheit, and can be dropped from 3 feet. They liked the scratch resistant LCD screen, but noted that the varnish on the front of the camera began to peel off after use.
Though picture quality may not be in the same league as the other choices, it takes decent pictures for the price and does have the ability to shoot HD video. Underwater use is convenient with a well-positioned lens and one-handed operation. However, the menu navigation before getting into the water proved to be challenging for the testers. Features include digital image stabilization and a battery life of 200 shots. It also comes in other fun colors such as green, blue, and pink. If you're looking for a basic point and shoot to take to snorkeling or just to the beach then the FujiFilm FinePix XP10 is a capable companion.
Currently on sale at Amazon for $119.95.
Olympus Stylus Tough 8010 Underwater Camera
If you need something indestructible to take mountain climbing, cycling, skiing, diving, or to let the kids use, then the Olympus Stylus Tough 8010 may be what you're looking for. Scoring 3.5 stars out of 5 from both Cnet and Digital Photography Review, this ultra-rugged camera is designed for the toughest of the tough, or perhaps the most clumsy, as it's crushproof up to a weight of 220 pounds and can be dropped from 6.6 feet. Take it underwater up to 33 feet or in temperatures as low as 14 degrees Fahrenheit. It offers 14 megapixels with a 5x wide angle zoom lens and a 2.7 inch LCD screen. One handy feature is the built-in user's manual.
Cnet noted that the buttons are easy to press with gloved hands while underwater. Picture and HD video quality is good overall. However, the major drawback is the Olympus comes in last place against the other choices when it comes to speed performance due to a 4 second start-up time compared to 1.2 seconds with the Panasonic and the Canon. The other drawback is the hefty $379.00 list price to match the hefty packaging, which is ultimately what you're paying for.
The Olympus Stylus Tough 8010 is currently on sale at Amazon for $289.00.

The board comes without built-in USB circuitry, so an off-board USB-to-TTL serial convertor must be used to upload sketches. This can be a FTDI TTL-232R USB - TTL Level Serial Converter Cable for the 5V Arduino Mini Pro), or a FTDI TTL-232R-3V3 USB - TTL Level Serial Converter Cable or the SparkFun FTDI Basic Breakout Board for a 3.3V Arduino Mini Pro. One convenient way to connect these is by inserting a six-pin 0.1" male pin header into the end of the FTDI cable or breakout board, and pressing it against the six hole programming header on the Mini Pro.

Fact file: Chevrolet Volt MPV5 Concept
Crossover Concept with Extended Range Capability Builds on Volt's Foundation
In preparation for the Volt's arrival, Chevrolet is leveraging Auto China 2010, which started in Beijing on April 23, 2010, to introduce the Volt MPV5 electric concept. The five-passenger multi-purpose crossover concept demonstrates the potential of the Voltec propulsion system by utilizing the same foundation as the Volt, for gas- and tailpipe emissions-free electric driving.
"The Volt MPV5 concept takes the efficient design of the Chevrolet Volt and adapts it to the family vehicle crossover segment. It's immediately recognizable as a true member of the Chevrolet family," said Bob Boniface, Director of GM North America Crossover Exterior Design, whose team worked in conjunction with members of GM's design studio in Australia on the Volt MPV5 concept.

Ever wonder why one of your particularly bad posts has been deleted? Feel free to contact me!
Hmm, why would that be. I see no reason to remove them.
They're even one of the sites respectful enough to not host Bintopia's releases anymore.
known as Lucifer / Killy69 / Succubus / GioGio / Guts / Lain Iwakura / L41n
I don't see why OneManga was removed from the list, but it's there again anyway.
Added Manga Fox, btw.
Could someone tell me why the Online Reader manga sites is removed from the MangaShare toolbar?
Not intended, it'll be back just as soon as I figure out why myself
Edit: Must have been lost when I was in there fixing the D.Gray-divinity link and removing a certain bleach site from the list >_> yesterday.
I added the online reading category again on the toolbar & put 3 big readers (OM, MS and MangaFox) back and will go back and add the smaller ones once I have more time.

Jupiter KitchensKitchen renovations and improvements Kitchen Renovation Contractors & Builders
3/5 Pelle Street, Mitchell, ACT 2911 2-5 km from Dickson
From the very first visit to Jupiter Kitchens showroom to the final installation of our kitchen, butler's pantry, bathrooms, laundry, robes and other joinery we cannot fault Peter and his team. The whole process from initial consultation, various design discussions and alterations, stone and colour changes to installation was professional and friendly and nothing was too much trouble. The installation was executed with patience and care and after each day's work was completed the rooms were left clean and tidy (thanks Justin). Everything looks and works beautifully and we absolutely love all the work Jupiter Kitchens has done in our new home. The end result has thoroughly met our expectations and we would like to express our appreciation of their efforts and hard work. We have no hesitation in recommending Jupiter Kitchens. Tony & Trish
"Thanks for helping us create our beautiful kitchen – we could not be happier. Your patience and professionalism was outstanding." The Peppers

I have 3 tial bov Q for sale all 3 are brand new in a box the price is 210 picked up or 220 shipped lmk if have any questions give me a call or send me a pm.
- For use on turbo-charged and super-charged applications (Paxton, Vortec, etc.). The body and all internal components are CNC-machined from 6061 aluminum alloy. It features a large 1.98 in (50.5mm) valve.
- The V-Band design aluminum mounting clamp gives a very clean and unique appearance. The clamp is anodized and uses Stainless Steel hardware for a long lasting, corrosion-free appearance.
- The valve seal utilizes a Viton O-ring that is clamped in place to prevent the possibility of sticking to the seat and pulling out. The valve stem and guide are Teflon-lubricated, hard anodize-coated for wear resistance.
- The Blow Off Valve also comes with our own machined aluminum banjo-type air fitting and bolt, with over sized 10mm hose barb for quick actuator response. The actuator has a high temp silicone Nomex-reinforced diaphragm for long life.
- An aluminum or mild steel weld base mounting flange is furnished with each unit. Stainless Steel is available at an additional cost. The use of 6061 aluminum allows the housing to be anodized with a selection of colors.
- Through countless hours of R&D we were able to make the same size valve flow a staggering 60% more than the original design - that means 60% more air is blown off per cycle! This is the highest flowing BOV on the market.
if you need any other tial products lmk

General Tendencies
Everyday Life / Profession: The Sun on the Moon's South Node in Pisces seems to remind us that we are still human beings, and not machines. We can find that tedious because it reminds us of less beautiful things such as illnesses, grief, and transience. Have we not yet developed a medication or a solution for everything? Many people are helpless in the face of illness and weakness. As long as we are not personally affected, we can mask it out and push it aside. But at some point it edges closer, and in the end it snags everyone. The topic is knocking on our doors. The Moon gives us a clue when it slips past Saturn in Sagittarius, and fears emerge. The square between Mars and Pluto will be exact on Wednesday, when the Moon in Capricorn approaches Pluto. That indicates panicked activity. And this shortly before a Solar Eclipse (Sunday) in Pisces, which is visible from the southern hemisphere. Partnership / Love: Mars and Venus gain increasing distance, and couples may also fare the same. In matters of love, we have also not found a means to bring partners together (again). That can leave many people quite desperate, and because Mars and Venus are still in the impulsive sign of Aries, and Mars comes into tension with Pluto, it is actually better to get out of each other's way. And as fast as possible.
Everyday Life / Profession: The Sun in the sensitive sign of Pisces and the volatile Mars-Pluto square are a major contradiction. Anyone who identifies with strength and power has to exclude the delicate and sensitive, or will attempt to suppress it. The Sun is conjoined with the Moon's South Node and seems to conjure ghosts of the past. Powerful and particularly effective people have often experienced powerlessness and weakness in their childhood. These call now, and anyone who cannot deal with them will act that much tougher. In principle it is a fight with oneself and against oneself. Avoid letting your own fight be a fight against yourself. You do not have to win a victory that does you no good. The Pisces Sun favors everything that serves the community and health. Partnership / Love: While Mars becomes increasingly tougher and more aggressive, Venus slows pace noticeably. The two no longer fit together so well. The masculine and the feminine are two opposing poles, and it is good when the feminine no longer adheres to masculine requirements and preferences. The Pisces Sun brings us into relationship with ancient wisdom.
Everyday Life / Profession: Now, when the Sun is conjunct the Moon's South Node in Pisces, you possibly find the spiritual family (again) that you have sought. This would give you an enormous source out of which you will be able to draw a great deal of strength, trust and wisdom. And then you would make a positive event out of the Solar Eclipse this Sunday. The Pisces Solar Eclipse contrasts the trend of achievement and dynamism with a soft feminine energy, which should establish a balance. Anyone who is too programmed for speed and achievement will have difficulty with this equalization and will think that they need to push even more. Whether that can turn out well? Partnership / Love: If everything has gone too fast for you, then the Pisces New Moon agrees. You do not have to do anything you are not really ready for. If someone takes a real interest in you, they can be patient. If someone does not have patience, they have a basic problem that has little to do with you. Leave the problem at its source and concentrate on your own needs.
Everyday Life / Profession: What are you allowed to want? That is a question that comes out of the depths of your past. Were you taught to not pose any challenges and to adapt as well as possible to the circumstances? Were you encouraged to see everything with a certain lack of concern because, as a normal citizen, you are already powerless against political and economic developments? What role did your parents play? Were they only thrifty out of necessity or was an inner conviction present? Were modest people seen as righteous people? The Sun on the Moon's South Node in Pisces drills deep into the past, and with the Pisces New Moon (Solar Eclipse) Mercury is also in Pisces and poses the questions again because they are so important for your current life. Partnership / Love: Venus and Mars in Aries lose contact with one another. In Aries, Venus needs to learn to make demands and because it will go retrograde soon, this lesson appears that much more necessary. How does your partner react when you step out of line and no longer play along with certain rituals? They can become very angry (Mars-Pluto), or perhaps manipulative. Are you never manipulative yourself? You still need to clarify that this week.
Everyday Life / Profession: With Mercury the trapeze figure emerges again, which looks like a cradle, and if you would like to use it for a break, you have to hurry. By the end of the week, Mercury will have left this position and will move into Pisces, in order to intensify the essence of the Pisces New Moon. Then you have a real need for recuperation and do not know how and where you will get a break – or the break simply occurs and catapults you out of your work world into a foreign environment. Mars in tension with Pluto can feel powerless and must convert the immense energy of this tension into energy for work. Should it (you) not succeed, it would not know what to do with its anger. The Pisces New Moon is a Solar Eclipse: has someone just pulled the plug? Partnership / Love: The intense Mars energies become stronger this week and find no outlet. Venus no longer plays along, Pluto provokes Mars in such a way that it becomes almost insane. The Pisces New Moon on Sunday can feel as though someone has pushed the reset button. Everyone involved needs to return to the starting line and begin from the top. Venus will do this, in that it will slowly move backwards, Mars will prefer a radical, quick solution. With that, the interplay concludes prematurely.
Everyday Life / Profession: We are heading towards the Pisces New Moon, which is the exact opposite of the Leo Full Moon that we just had. Pleasure, success and joy in life appear to have an expiration date. What else can be won during the Pisces New Moon? Think about all the beautiful things that one cannot buy, touch, measure or calculate. Pisces asks what will be left of us after earthly life. Have we loved, dreamed, prayed and hoped? Have we listened, when someone spoke quietly and wisely? Have we helped when someone needed us? Were we grateful or did we only want more and more? How important is the beautiful achievement to you that showed itself during the Full Moon? Can you also live without it? How does this thought feel to you? Partnership / Love: Have you been missing something in your relationship? Then you have already understood what the Pisces New Moon has in mind. It would like to familiarize you with something important and show that something essential is still missing. If you have not missed anything, you will at least sense what is going on by the end of the week. And then it will not take long until you can feel it properly and name it. At best, only a bit of imagination and sensitivity are missing.
Everyday Life / Profession: Mercury is only in Aquarius through the end of Saturday. Dynamic energies will be exaggerated once again in interplay with Saturn, Uranus and Jupiter (Mars in tension with Pluto), before it comes to a situation with the Pisces New Moon (Solar Eclipse), in which we cannot proceed using pressure, speed and thoughts about performance. The system suddenly stops working. By then, Venus will have reached a standstill, and appears to want to tell us that we have exhausted the system. This makes Mars quite nervous, it comes to panicked actions, at least with those who are capable of acting, brave or foolish. The adversity can also be particularly inventive. The sign of Pisces can bestow "heavenly" inspiration, and Mars approaches Uranus, fueling innovative powers. Partnership / Love: With the Pisces Sun a phase of sensitivity has begun. And because Mars approaches with the crowbar, you are easily more than only slightly injured now. Are these contradictory constellations too difficult to be lived out positively? Pluto in Capricorn can strengthen your self-control, but if you have to control too much, emotions back up, and Mars has too little patience and composure to hold itself back. A massive compliment if you manage it anyway!
Everyday Life / Profession: As a Libra, you get to feel the tension between Mars and Pluto very directly and personally. Because someone obviously has a problem with you, you can hardly claim that you do not have your own problem with this person. The dispute has the side effect of great uncertainty, which will become clear during the Pisces New Moon (Solar Eclipse). Have you believed and hoped too much recently? Did the people who brought you into this situation know how dangerous the game is? Perhaps people have only been looking at their own opportunity and trying to seize it, just like you. This week can be a setback if you have not been attentive enough. Health can also play a role for the Libra. Your body needs a break. Partnership / Love: Mars can no longer be stopped now. Mars is "the energy of progress" or aggressiveness. Venus, on the other hand, slows down and comes to a standstill. Perhaps that is wise, in order to get out of the line of fire? Mercury, which is still playing a mediating role at the beginning of the week, appears to run for cover when it moves into Pisces. Are you arriving at a point where mediation is no longer possible?
Everyday Life / Profession: Anyone who sticks to their (apparent) road to achievement this week overlooks that the winds have changed. When Mars and Pluto come into tension, holding on, enduring and forcing might be options, but letting go would be much, much wiser. Anyone who cannot let go is overdoing something and injures themselves. Be aware that the sign of Scorpio renders you capable of great transformation. It is your personal strength to be able to forgo a convenience in order to serve something greater and more important. Scorpios always tip the scales because they can be extremely courageous in exceptional circumstances. You must cross a threshold. The Pisces Solar Eclipse this Sunday is an existential situation for you. Partnership / Love: Are you very demanding toward your partner? Then you should change your mind now and dispense with the demands. Consider whether it is conceivable. Would that be the admission of an error? Would you lose face? The Pisces Solar Eclipse appears to require just such a step from you, and if that is true, it also means that you are capable of it. Change your attitude!
Everyday Life / Profession: This week begins with the Moon in Sagittarius approaching Saturn. When we are moving too fast or without enough consideration, Saturn is our admonisher. It appeals to your farsightedness and your wisdom, and if you contemplate the Mars-Pluto square that is exact on Wednesday, it is also high time for a warning. The problem would be your subjective view of the world that has to be compared to reality. Has success spoiled you a bit too much? Have you flown too high or are you still doing so? With the Mars-Pluto square you could want to force something – please do not do that! And if you do, then at least with full consciousness of the consequences. The Pisces Sun, which turns into a Solar Eclipse on Sunday, pleads for you to surrender, to not rise against a higher power, to stay modest, let go and give in. Even if it is difficult. Partnership / Love: Perhaps the danger this week is particularly affecting your relationship life. Only the interaction with other people can make it clear which role you have entered into. All the more, when someone is particularly close to your heart. The more personal the relationship, the more honest and direct you can be with one another. Perhaps you have not noticed how much you have asked of each other by being so open?
Everyday Life / Profession: The constellations intensify (Mars-Pluto) and indicate power struggles in your domestic environment. Your place of work could also be affected. Do you see yourself in a powerful position? Does someone else see you in one? The perceptions drift far apart, and your own perception has to be examined urgently. In principle, disputes are there for precisely that, but when two parties insist on being right and fail to let the other get a word in, no one learns anything new. Are you able to yield, even if you still feel like you are right? You would demonstrate true greatness. But in such moments, a relationship can get a cracks, lasting damage. Forgiveness is so difficult. Partnership / Love: You should reconsider your manner of expression. Mercury in Aquarius has a bit too much tailwind which makes itself noticeable in thoughtless words. At the same time the Pisces Sun points to speechlessness and misunderstandings. Are you afraid of not being perceived or heard? Could there be yet another way of drawing attention to yourself? How well do you perceive yourself? If you are seeking a change, always begin with yourself.
Everyday Life / Profession: Right now we have very contrary constellations. One the one hand, there is the hyperactive Mars, driven by fanatical Pluto as well as Jupiter blessed with success, and on the other hand there is the Pisces Sun, which describes a feeling of powerlessness that reminds you of the past and a weakened condition. This feeling of powerlessness can provoke reflexes to protect yourself. You are not aware of any guilt and see yourself as the victim. On Sunday the Pisces New Moon is a Solar Eclipse. Mercury, which has the best connections to dynamic planetary energies at the beginning of the week, loses the contact and lands in Pisces. Do you feel someone has deceived you at the end of the week? Was it not ultimately self-deception? Did you ignore warnings? Partnership / Love: It is high time to be somewhat more circumspect, but the constellations (= people and situations) really entice you to simply continue in your usual style without considering the consequences. Without considering the consequences? These words will still resound on Sunday during the Pisces Solar Eclipse. If you are reading these words, you should take them seriously. This is not a game, no cheap amusement, even if it may appear like it on Monday.
Everyday Life / Profession: The Pisces Sun brings you in touch with yourself. You are who you always were. Does that feel good? Or do you feel thrown back? Had you been fairly successfully attempting to leave your weaknesses behind you? The Pisces Sun advises you to accept everything and no longer fight against your delicate nature. Your strength is sensitivity, not distancing and hardening. In case you do not want to accept that, the Solar Eclipse on Sunday will assist you a bit in putting you on the right path. This week the success trip that some people have found themselves on will topple. Many things were sugarcoated, and if someone announces a lovely new time, everyone wants to be a part of it. If something was hidden for it, you do not have to be surprised when it comes to light again. Partnership / Love: What have you done to please your partner? Was it too much? Have you strayed too far from your own path? If this is accurate, you will notice it now. And in case you still do not notice, you only a need a few days before the scales fall from your eyes. The Pisces Solar Eclipse is a call to pay attention to your own needs and to defend them as well.

Most people think of Rufus Porter as the itinerant muralist who traveled New England from the early 1820s to about 1845. His vivid landscapes are characterized by rural and coastal images and the open brushstrokes used to achieve his signature feathery trees. Porter's art is so closely identified with the region that he has achieved the iconic status of Norman Rockwell.
Few realize that Rufus Porter was much more than a folk artist. A chronology of his accomplishments depicts him as nomad, genius inventor (he held some 100 patents), adventurer (joined a trading voyage to Hawaii), soldier (joined the Maine Militia in the War of 1812), author (founded Scientific American), teacher, visionary (designed an airship 70 years before the Wright Brothers'first flight), and, of course, artist.
Porter spent his childhood years in the Bridgton, Maine, area, where a museum devoted to him has recently opened. The museum, located in a home containing murals that Porter painted circa 1828, plans to move an antique barn to the site to display 15 more murals, some of which were exhibited at the Whitney Museum of American Art in New York in a 1968 show. The museum hopes to continue Porter's tradition of teaching the arts by offering classes and workshops.
The Rufus Porter Museum and Cultural Heritage Center (207-647-2828; rufusportermuseum.org) is located at 67 North High Street in Bridgton, Maine. Open in winter by appointment.

Last weekend I went through the family 'emergency box' making sure that the matches, candles, torches, and gas camping stove were still OK, in addition we always have a tarpaulin to hand in case the autumn/winter storms cause damage to our roof, and plastic bags to fill with earth or sand in case of a flood alert. Just in case we have a repeat of the (for the UK) heavy snow of earlier this year we have a stock of tinned and powdered food, as well as some stored water in case we are cut-off once more, or supplies fail.
Do any of you take similar preperations?

Cute but long

Extremely tight-fitting
"I was very excited to get these because I've been shopping for going out shoes and these looked really hot. Unfortunately the moment I slipped my foot in one of the shoes, I knew they were too small. Zero wiggle room. But they are hot as the other reviewers said! No larger sizes available so I am keeping them and enduring the pain. Hopefully with some practice wearing around the house they will loosen up and be more comfy."

Hot and comfy!
"Very sexy. The perfect shoes to go in and out! The height gives a fab shape to the legs and the angle is not damaging. They could be just a little more stable (front is tilted)."

The other thing I wonder is if cake or fresh yeast has such a short life, how can they sell it in supermarkets where it surely sits for weeks or months in the distribution channels and on the store shelf and at home before it is used. There must be a way they keep it vital.
Paul and Norma,See http://thinktank.pmq.com/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=6179&p=38688&hilit=#p38682. Tom perhaps should have added cake yeast to his list. It was perhaps an oversight. Red Star makes the connection at http://www.redstaryeast.com/lessons/yeast_types__usage/cake_yeast.php.Peter
Norma,Glad you liked the fire story. You don't want to encourage firemen storytelling. There is lots of laughter as well as grief in the job. I think the propensity to create humor is probably a way of coping or dealing with involvement in tragedy. There were guys who were genius at creating practical jokes. It was an outlet. My daughter is a high risk labor delivery nurse and on bad days she goes home and hugs her little boys until they tell her to stop. I have used dry yeast, cake yeast, sourdough, and dry yeast with sourdough to make pizza dough. The cake yeast turns out the best crusts. I bought it in small quantity at a local supermarket and it cost a lot. Second best is dry yeast in very small quantities with long fermentations. Maybe sourdough starters would be also good if they were managed properly, but that is beyond my skill. Bake shops can pay attention to their leavens and starters every day. The home baker can't. I don't know anything about how fresh or cake yeast is prepared, but would guess it is the same organism that is in dry yeast. What I wonder is if it is possible to grow yeast from dry, and make your own fresh. If that is the case, and it is not too much trouble, a home baker could do that and use it and be done with it and not have to worry about managing starter every day. The other thing I wonder is if cake or fresh yeast has such a short life, how can they sell it in supermarkets where it surely sits for weeks or months in the distribution channels and on the store shelf and at home before it is used. There must be a way they keep it vital.
Great post Norma! I finally had time to read thru it all and look at all the pics. Dang, now my stomach is growling and I am remembering my last visit there which was too long ago.I was blown away by Motorino back then and now Keste's is a must visit for my next trip, plus at least one steak on a stick or two.Thanks for sharing!Hog
With much of the Neapolitan focus in NYC on Keste, Motorino EV and Paulie Gee's, the word about Donatella has yet to really hit hard. Three friends who have eaten Neapolitan pizza all over the place have now individually been there and all three say Donatella is now their favorite Neapolitan pizza in NYC. Interesting.I have a few upcoming trips to NYC and am eager to try Donatella. But an entire day devoted to just visiting NYstyle pizza joints comes first.
Cranky, Right now I like the flavors of using natural starters, but will experiment more with cake yeast to see what kind of results I can achieve. Natural starters really arent that hard to use. The dough just has to be watched over time. Norma
Norma, picture 100.jpg that you took from the Empire State reminds me so much of my time in NY so thank you! some amazing deli's around the Empire State building too.Paul
Paul,I am glad that the picture from the top of the Empire State Building does remind you of the time you spent in NY. I have so many pictures that were taken from other trips to NY. I didn't know anything from making pizza back then. I just ate slices or whole pies different times I visited NY. I have tried different foods in NY and most of them were good. Good to hear you liked the Delis around the Empire State Building. What was the most memorable food you ate in NY?Norma
Pigs intestines in China town! lolWas......strange...I have a picture of when my wife and I met Sly Stallone @ a book signing on 5th AVE, I will post it here when I find it......that was a better memory than the pigs guts...
Amazing pictures Norma, your dinner sounds a bit like haggis, have you tried that?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Haggis enjoy. lol
Paul,I did enjoy reading about haggis. It sounds something like Hog Maw (Pigs Stomach), but a little different. People in our area do eat souse and pigs feet, too, but not me. Norma
Norma,I knew you were much too civilized to eat hillbilly vittles.
Cranky,I am not that civilized. I do eat Hog Maw and now drink milk kefir, even if it sits out for a week. At least so far nothing has made me sick. I prefer pizza though. Norma
Norma,Kefir is a delicacy. Hog Maw on the other hand is something you should not admit to eating in polite company, especially when you visit NY. NYers will look down on you and think the barbarians have invaded. Some things like this are best kept secret.
Cranky, I have developed a tough skin. I wonder how fried grasshoppers would taste on a pizza. Norma

Chapter 34
Jeremiah prophesies the captivity of Zedekiah—The people of Judah will be removed into all the kingdoms of the earth.
1 The word which came unto Jeremiah from the Lord, when Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, and all his army, and all the kingdoms of the earth of his dominion, and all the people, fought against Jerusalem, and
2 Thus saith the Lord, the God of Israel; Go and speak to Zedekiah king of Judah, and tell him, Thus saith the Lord; Behold, I will give this city into the hand of the king of
3 And thou shalt not escape out of his hand, but shalt surely be taken, and delivered into his hand; and thine eyes shall behold the eyes of the king of
4 Yet hear the word of the Lord, O Zedekiah king of Judah; Thus saith the Lord of thee, Thou shalt not die by the sword:
5 But thou shalt die in peace: and with the burnings of thy fathers, the former kings which were before thee, so shall they burn odours for thee; and they will lament thee, saying, Ah lord! for I have pronounced the word, saith the Lord.
6 Then Jeremiah the prophet spake all these words unto Zedekiah king of Judah in Jerusalem,
7 When the king of Babylon's army fought against Jerusalem, and against all the cities of Judah that were left, against Lachish, and against Azekah: for these defenced cities remained of the cities of Judah.
8 ¶This is the word that came unto Jeremiah from the Lord, after that the king Zedekiah had made a covenant with all the people which were at Jerusalem, to proclaim
9 That every man should let his manservant, and every man his maidservant, being an Hebrew or an Hebrewess, go free; that none should
10 Now when all the princes, and all the people, which had entered into the covenant, heard that every one should let his manservant, and every one his maidservant, go free, that none should serve themselves of them any more, then they obeyed, and let them go.

12 ¶Therefore the word of the Lord came to Jeremiah from the Lord, saying,

14 At the end of

16 But ye turned and

Grandview Ridge, Animas City Mountain and Twin Buttes Reopen for Public Access (03-29-13)
DURANGO, Colo. – The Bureau of Land Management will reopen the Grandview Ridge and Animas City Mountain areas and the City of Durango will reopen Twin Buttes open space for public access on Monday, April 1.
"Every year the BLM accesses the conditions and closes the areas to recreational use for wildlife habitat protection," said Connie Clementson, BLM Tres Rios field manager. "We appreciate the public's support and adherence to the closures, and we look forward to seeing people enjoying the trails near Durango."
The reopened areas include Sale Barn and Big Canyon trailheads off U.S. Highway 160, South Rim trail, Telegraph trail, Sidewinder trail, the trails on BLM lands accessed from the Carbon Junction trail, the trails on in the upper portion of Animas City Mountain and trails in Twin Buttes.
For additional information, call the BLM Tres Rios Field Office (970) 882-7296 or Durango Parks and Recreation at (970) 375-7321.
The BLM manages more than 245 million acres of public land, the most of any Federal agency. This land, known as the National System of Public Lands, is primarily located in 12 Western states, including Alaska. The BLM also administers 700 million acres of sub-surface mineral estate throughout the nation. The BLM's mission is to sustain the health, diversity, and productivity of Americas public lands for the use and enjoyment of present and future generations. In Fiscal Year 2015, the BLM generated $4.1 billion in receipts from activities occurring on public lands.
