|In response to Re: Can a dishwasher be connected to an island sink? absolutly, I would suggest an island loop out of 2" pipe, and if you can build a knee wall that would be the place to put it, making sure that the drain is put in on the proper side of the loop. ( one side of the loop is a vent the other side is the drain ) install a garbage disposal and drain the dishwasher into that, or use a `y ` tail peice for the washer drain. sloppy copper joints are un-excusable. use a dry rag to whip off excess solder and flux only use enough solder to fill joint, Yes I know years of experence really help. enjoy

Pro designed to help you catch more bass, Berkley is continuing to release their new line-up of Havoc baits, which have already accounted for some solid finishes at the 2011 Bassmaster Classic on the Louisiana Delta.
The Berkley Havoc Skeet's Slop Craw - measuring in at 3-1/2" - was designed by BASS Elite Series veteran pro and 2009 Bassmaster Classic Champion, Skeet Reese. Designed for punching thick cover, the Slop Craw's streamlined body is perfect for the task, and its lifelike appendages come to life under the mats.
"If you love punchin' heavy cover, then you are going to love this Slop Craw! It's designed with a small profile to get through the smallest opening where the giants live. And the keel adds that extra grab on the hook so that the bait doesn't collapse on the hook when crashing through heavy cover. This is the ultimate punch craw!" - Skeet Reese.

Customer Reviews
Comments: It's a rather weird lure, it has minimal action and really doesn't do much when on a jig as a trailer, but on the other side it still works for heavy cover fishing, or even on its own, rig it with a jig head.
From: Lane: IN 4/14/14
Comments: awesome bait for getting into and out of cover fast. Its not bulky and i get alot of pitches per hour using it. Great summertime bait for when the cover is thick and bass are sluggish. Perfection blue fleck is my favorite color.
From: Mike: deptford nj
Comments: I have heard allot of comments saying that theses don't really look that goo but they catch fish. Personally When I first got them I loved the compact size and and over build of this bait. Maybe its from were I fish allot Ohio and the bass fishing is not so great here. So allot of the time downing sizing to a compact craw can be the ticket. I like to punch this but also just texas rig it. When I texas rid it I cut off the little kiel on the front. Smallies tear this up!!!
From: Cole: Ohio
Comments: I honestly did not think much of this bait when I first received it. I was sure it was destined to sit in the bottom of my tackle box and never get used. But earlier this season the bite was slow so I tied one on (thinking I wouldnt catch anything anyway) and low and behold I caught the biggest bass of my life. She was a 10-1 monster that was nestled in the shoreline weeds of a small pond I fish occasionally. I just pitched it up to the weeds and twitched it a few times and she absolutely killed it. A 10+ in PA is a pretty darn big bass; so I would now consider myself a believer. These are for very specific situations and cover; but now I have them readily available if need be.
From: Gary: PA
Comments: these baits looks like a fish would eat it because they feel sorry for it because its so ugly but after using it in the perfection color on kentucky lake i was proven sooo wrong. This is a very good bait. Very durable and the fish will absolutly slaughter it! I caught tons of very good sized smallies on it! Will definatly be buying more.
From: Jared: KY
Comments: At first i thought this bait was horrible... Then all of the sudden i started catching fish like nothing!! great bait for not only largemouth but smallies DESTROY this! Anyone who disagrees can go crawl in a hole and never catch a fish again:)
From: Dylan: Honolulu, HI
Comments: I got them for my birthday at first I thought I would never use them but when the bite was slow I put one on. BEST FLIPPING BAIT EVER! One craw lasted lasted me 23 bass they were even hitting it with no claws or antennas! I won't flip anything but havoc now!
From: Issac: Saco, Maine
Comments: when i first saw this, it lookied really stupid. but after evaluating it, i realized that this is one tough bait. i fished it this summer, and realized that fish love it. it is so durable! great for punching mats or just flipping grasses. i have 4 packs!!!
From: Scott: USA
Comments: at first glance, i thought this bait was kinda stupid looking, but after i held it in my hands, it found that the little lure is disigned perfectly for flipping. if your using a punch skirt, the skirt will do the attractive action that this bait lacks, but this bait is the best for holding the hook and being durable enough to withstand fighting fish.
Comments: Great for punching mats. The bait is compact and goes through cover great. It is very durable and will withstand the punishment of going in and out of mats.

I see the last entry here was in March. It has been a very eventful year, starting around that time, with workshopd and presentations, festival shows, two issues of Common Stock, a trip to the USA to give workshops on both sides of the country and back for lexctures at the Ntionl Piping Centre, and ending with the collapse of my hard-drive last wednesday.
Another fascinating weekend i spent at new Lanark, four days of workhops on composition organized by Distil.
The result of this has been the beginnings of an extended compostion for smallpipes/harp and string quintet. The working title 'Throug the Debateable Lands' is taken from Norman MacCaig's poem 'Crossing the Border'. The basic concept is to evoke the border lands as they were in the eraly years of James VI, using as thematic materilal a few tunes from the area/era, esdpecially the original border air of 'The Twa Corbies'. More about this soon I hope, as well as news of a pilot one-day workshop in Edinburgh in early April next year...

Just in case you thought this blog was completed deceased I thought I'd better add a post, just to say I am yet again distracted, first by updgrading the website, then by upcoming presentations , to the International Bagpipe Conference on March 9th and then a workshop at the Bagpipe Society Blowout at the end of May, not to metnion the LBPS competitin. However, I have been listening again to some recordings I made a while back of tunes from Henry Atkinson's fiddle manuscript and from William Dixon's book. Hopefully I will get a moment to post about these soon...

Just a quick post here since there's been a rather extended gap. I've spent the last couple of weeks tuning the fiddle up again, for the first time for quite a while, preparing for an extraordinary weekend playing with Callum Armstrong, culminating in a performance at last Saturday's Annual Collogue in Edinburgh. Callum and I spent a day at Julian Goodacre's house in Peebles working on three tunes, two from William Dixon's manuscript and one of Callum's own tunes. The Dixon tunes were 'My Love Comes Passing By Me' and 'Gingling Geordie' [a tune which appears in several other collectins, including Playford's 'Original Scots Tunes']. However, Callum is such an inventive and adventurous [as well as exemely talented] musician that things were never going to be that simple. Some of the results will soon be available elsewhere on the site, but I have to say that there were moments during our day of practice where things happened that were unlikely to happen again, hence my remark on Saturday that 'you should have been here lastg night'. To sit down with a player like Callum [he is a student of baroque recorder at Trinity College, London] with only an outline plan for how the performance might proceed, and the knowledge that anything might happen in the next few bars, is likely sometimes to produce spectacular resutls, but is also just as likely to prove less than successful; either way it was a trully exciting experience for me; I hope it was, at least some of the time, for those in the audience on Saturday.

There's been a bit of an interruption in this blog, due entirely to the invitation I received from Hamish Moore to play at the LBPS evening at the Festival Club during Glasgow's Piping Live! week [that leads up to the World Pipe Band Championships]. I've spent the past several weeks working pretty determinedly on several sets of tunes, chosen in an attempt to cover as many of the various tune-forme and rhythms that form the foundation of the Lowland piping repertoire. The plan now is to cover these forms and review how that intensive practice period developed my understnding. Meanwhile, here's the only record I have of that event:

Youth Go North for Science on BLM Lands in Alaska
It was a science camp like no other. Eight lucky teenagers, led by Fairbanks science teacher Carol Scott, recently completed a unique expedition up BLM-Alaska's Dalton Highway Corridor to explore the subarctic and arctic ecosystems along part of the Dalton Highway.
The 414-mile, partly gravel highway bisects northern Alaska and provides the only road access across the Yukon River. The Dalton is no ordinary road, and neither were the challenges it presented to these students. They encountered mud, mosquitoes, and round-the-clock daylight -- which doesn't make for easy sleeping in a tent! But they also experienced the magic of the Arctic as they set-up rustic camps at BLM's Marion Creek and Galbraith Lake campgrounds. From there they set off to...
The BLM, the National Park Service, and cooperating partner Alaska Geographic Association sponsored this first-ever opportunity for local middle-school students to work alongside scientists performing research on BLM-managed lands in Alaska. A visit to the scientifically-renowned Toolik Field Station north of the Brooks Range introduced the students to the living quarters, lifestyles, and research projects for nearly 100 scientists that assemble there each summer from universities and research centers around the world.
"It is our hope that North for Science becomes a long-term program for local students in Fairbanks to learn about the vast region to their north. This unique program may even inspire a career or two in Alaska's resource management", says Karen Deatherage, BLM Interpretive Park Ranger.

Five things: Not a great start
Ryan Lambert
April 05 2013 11:43AM
1. The R-Word
The exact quote of what Jay Feaster said the other day in his post-deadline presser doesn't really matter, but what does is how nimbly he moved around use of the word "Rebuild" in describing what it means when Jarome Iginla and Jay Bouwmeester and Blake Comeau are traded and it seems for all the world that Miikka Kiprusoff will shuffle off into retirement at the end of this season.
I think he used "retool," and I think he used "getting younger," and I know for sure he used "intellectual honesty" when describing what he lacked in thinking this team was ever going to be any good at all. Darcy Regier also apparently said he didn't want to say "rebuild" to describe the dismantling of his pathetic roster, which by the way was and is still better than Calgary's.
I wonder about the aversion to using the word rebuild, because again, if intellectual honesty is something Feaster is so suddenly all in favor of leaning on, then call it what it is. This is a rebuild, and any rational person watching this team knows it was a long-ass time coming.
And so now everything, from the roster to the entire organizational philosophy, is different.
2. Bouwmeester gone
I was surprised they actually did this so far out from the deadline, but then they were very intent on keeping his ironman streak intact for some reason. This was, to me, the real sign that they were serious about the rebuild. Stockpiling picks over the last two seasons is one thing, and so too is moving the face of the franchise, but offloading a minutes-eating defenseman who's below 30 and has more time on his deal actually made me say, "Ah yes, this is all really happening now."
Of course, the return they got for him was underwhelming. Moreso than the Iginla trade. Which was itself legendarily underwhelming. The simple fact is that getting two middling prospects with minimal chance of making an impact in the NHL isn't a great return, but I think even Calgary acknowledged that. The real thing that mattered here — and Feaster said as much in the presser — is the first-round pick. So why on earth have it be conditional?
The thing Feaster said was how good the Flames would feel entering this draft, deep as it is, with three first-round picks, but hey buddy, if the Blues don't make the playoffs, you gotta wait until next year. And then you gotta hope they tank hard. Which they probably won't.
So I don't know what the approach is. Assuredly this is the best offer they got for Bouwmeester, and rumors of the Red Wings' interest seemed to be predicated upon not giving up the first, so I suppose you'd rather they got one with the goofy conditions than not at all. But at the same time, you trade your best forward and best defenseman and get two mid-to-late first-round picks and four marginal prospects.
Great stuff.
3. Kiprusoff not
Which I guess brings us to Miikka Kiprusoff, who is still a Calgary Flame mostly because he didn't want to go anywhere what with his new baby and all. I get his reasoning. But when guys are literally being traded while their wife was in labor today, and given that the organization actually realizes it's rebuilding, that excuse doesn't really hold water.
I guess it boils down to the old "This is a business" vs. "These players are people too" argument, and I get that. But Feaster's reasoning — that Kiprusoff did a lot for this organization in the past, and the team would have finished less-than-30th without him the past few years — doesn't hold water. Iginla did a lot for the organization. Theo Fleury did a lot for the organization. They both got moved (though obviously for reasons other than "they're old and bad now," which would have been the motivation for dumping Kiprusoff on the Leafs).
This, I think, lends support to the Mike Keenan espousal of the standing agreement that Kiprusoff will retire at the end of the season, and that might even have been something Feaster hinted at if you wanna read way into some of the comments he made. But with that in mind, don't you just trade him and see what happens? Maybe he doesn't report, ah well. You tried.
But to not do it at all, and then lose him to retirement for the sake of nostalgia seems antithetical to committing to the not-a-rebuild rebuild.
4. Going For It, Part 2
Which brings us to the most insane-o crazy awful development from that Jay Feaster presser. The quote goes like this and is, I swear to god, 1 trillion percent real:
"Murray Edwards told me to have this team in the playoffs next year...that's my marching order."
Good heavens. I can't even begin to imagine what the effort to do that, which assuredly will either allow him to keep his job or, y'know, not do so. Maybe that's why he keeps talking so vehemently about retooling and not rebuilding. Maybe that's why he keeps bringing up cap space as though anyone cares about that beyond him since he's trying not to get fired. It's all so terrible. this team is doomed until Edwards smartens up (not happening) or sells the team (also unlikely). Great stuff outta ownership.
So okay, cap space. Guys who are on the right side of 30 — since Feaster has stated he'd like to get players who are not yet past their prime — whom the Flames might be able to pursue in unrestricted free agency include: Nathan Horton, Clarke MacArthur, Valtteri Filppula, Ian White, David Clarkson, Mason Raymond, Tyler Bozak, and a few other guys you've heard of but probably couldn't tell anyone a thing about their games (Mike Santorelli, Mark Fistric, etc.). Who of those players is a difference-maker that Calgary would want in an effort to make the playoffs? It's a real short list.
We can all agree, I think, that this team is absolutely not making the playoffs next year, even if they sign, say, half of those players. Which they won't because UFA's don't often pick bottom feeders.
5. A gross miscalculation
So maybe we've made a terrible mistake. Not that anyone should have ever trusted Jay Feaster with an NHL team in any way, but believing in him with respect to being able to pursue a rebuild while that garbage is coming down from the top seems unfair. No one could do that job. Not one general manager alive could turn whatever mess this is, sans Iginla, sans Bouwmeester, and get it into the playoffs.
bhahahahaha comparing playing goal to a tech job.....wow that is laughable. I love all you guys who make comments and have never competed at anywhere near a high level in any sport. The thing with teams is that there is more than one guy. Every team that has won the cup recently has done it because of the talents and efforts of many players not just one.
Somehow I don't think you understand the corporate world either. If you'd been one of your company's best employees making them tons of money and right near the end of your career things just weren't going your way and you wanted to retire early. They would probably be just fine with that.
The thing is everybody gets old and some players last longer than others. Maybe Kipper is just tired of the game. he's played more than anybody else the last 7 or 8 years.
Seriously though blaming him for not making the playoffs...are you on crazy pills?
April 05 2013, 06:52PM
Anyone think Colorado is kicking themselves for matching the O'Reilly offer? They could be sitting pretty with two top 3 picks right now.
Between that offer sheet, the attempt at Richards, etc we are actually pretty fortunate that we aren't worse off.
Thank goodness Kipper sucked this season.
Great points!
April 05 2013, 07:17PM
@the-wolf "Whatever. You're the type of person who will get behind whatever the company line is."
Simply false. I'm not a fan of the Wideman signing (though I don't think it was terrible), and I have never been a fan of handing out NMCs to everybody (we had 11 of them at one point), I am definitely not a fan of KK and the owners as I think they interfere far too often in hockey decisions that should be left to the GM. On the whole, I think Feaster has done a far better job under his circumstances than dozens of NHL Gms would have in his place.
the-wolf: "Posters are you are exactly why this site has declined. "Oh, that person has a differnt opinion than me, I'd better insult them."
If you can't take the heat...
the-wolf:"Edwards does handcuff his hockey ops in terms of direction."
Totally agree. I've defended Feaster, but you'll note I have never defended KK or Edwards. Well run organizations give their employees autonomy to make decisions and then hold them accountable. If Ken King wants to play GM, he should put himself in the seat.
the-wolf:"Feaster, when he does make moves, tends to screw them up. He's still the one making the trades and saying stupid crap everyone time there's a mike in his face."
I half agree with this. I would defend more than half the moves Feaster has made (including the Iggy/JBo deals), but you won't find me defending his media skills, or public commentary as I think they are uniformly under par.
the-wolf:"I notice btw, that you don't knock the mods when their opinions/articles happen to agree with mine. Why is that?"
Personally, I come here first and foremost to read Kent's posts. Ryan Lambert's I wouldn't miss at all as they are internally inconsistent in logic, BookofLoob's are uniformly good (if backwards looking), and Rex's posts on how he thought the Flames should rebuild were high comedy (signing Scott Gomez! enough said).
the-wolf:"Whatever, your opinions are full of half-truths and faulty logic that's twisted to justify whatever the team is doing regardless of how bad it is."
One area we definitely disagree on is the ROR signing. How did it end up? Colorado matched a poison-pill contract that restricts their cash flow and eats up cap-space and internal budget. Pure win. Yet you (and others) insist that this result is somehow a 'joke' and 'embarrassment'. But it's my logic that is somehow 'twisted'.
the-wolf: "Of course, looking at the results, whether under Feaster or the last 24 years, would support my opinions and not yours. But then, there's that thing called logic again.....better to live in fantasy land."
It's always easier to throw stones than build a house. Cheerleading for tanking and failure is hardly something worth putting on one's pundit resume.
the-wolf:"Sorry if I choose not to be a sycophant. And why you have this OCD need to constantly attack me is weird. And creepy too. I obviously get under your skin. People who don't tow the company line tend to do that with sycophants such as yourself."
Given your vitriol, I'd say this is a classic case of what the egg-heads call 'projection'.
the-wolf: "I mean, what did I really say in my comment that deserved your response?"
Other than your unwaranted blanket negativity about everything Flames related?
the-wolf:" You're just a trash talker. No reasoned argument, just personal attacks on whoever disagees with you. Except the mods because that would require a set of balls which you obviously don't have, other than the ones in your mouth."
Exactly what did I say that was a 'personal attack'? As for the mods, I'll stick my neck out and suggest that aside from feeding the negative nabobs raw meat, I have no idea what the purpose of Ryan Lambert's writing is.
the-wolf:"Seriously, when have you ever been right? What were your predictions under Sutter? I'm sure you were a huge fan. Under Feaster? 1 year ago?"
So now you are attacking me for opinions I haven't even expressed? Who is under whom's skin I wonder? The day he traded Phaneuf for a net sum of Zombie Matt Stajan was the day GM Sutter earned my undying hatred (though I think he is a terrific coach). I also HATED his drafting (Irving, Chucko, Pelech), and think he gutted the team's future while simultaneously shackling us with Ollie 'Sex Panther' Jokinen. But go ahead, and make up whatever fantasy your fevered *cough* brain *cough* comes up with.
the-wolf:"You're continually wrong and the team keeps getting worse and you were against a rebuild (until it happened at it was time to haul the company line) and yet you post like the Feaster is the 2nd coming of Sam Pollock. You're never right and when it's pointed out you attack those who pointed it out."
If you go back and read what I wrote, I was against a 'scorched earth' rebuild, and in particular, I was against trading Iggy. I was, and have been a proponent for gradually retooling the team, a process I saw as starting with the Regehr trade, but felt really started with the hiring of Weisbrod and Chris Snow. I don't like trading Iginla, but I'm not upset with the return we got.
the-wolf:"I've predicted the Flames to be out in the first and to miss the playoffs with exact precision the last several years."
So you predicted they would make the playoffs and not make the playoffs. Pure genius. You should go to Vegas and make a fortune instead of parlaying with me here.
the-wolf:"Along with many other. But you're right and I'm wrong? You're the most useless poster on here.You have about 2 or 3 other posters who ever agree with anything you say."
Consider me the head of counter-insurgency for guarded optimism.
the-wolf:"What "rebuid?" Man, you are stupid. Hudler and Wideman are part of a "rebuid?"
Yes, I'd say so. Hudler and Wideman were brought in their primes (younger and more talented than the guys they replaced). Remember the team is under orders to remain competitive during the rebuild. I'm a huge fan of Hudler in particular (far less so of Wideman), but both were brought in to provide specific elements of Feaster's retooling (a possession driving forward, and a powerplay QB, both of which we lacked).
the -wolf:'The team is never wrong in your books, which is why you always are. CP posters look intelligent next to you."
Actually, I think the team is occasionally (even often) wrong. It's you I think is always wrong.
the-wolf:"Normally I hate the personal insults on here, in fact I just posted on it. But in your case, the gauntlet was thrown."
Have at it.
the-wolf:"BTW you should get that 'burning sensation looked at. It usually indicates a venereal disease."
*Golf clap* Wow. Did you come up with that all by yourself?

Jason Botterill, Asst GM with the Pens.
Paul Fenton, Asst GM of the Predators.
Why do you think that bringing in a new GM who is an untested rookie like one of these two would be an improvement over the current GM?
And Brian Burke? Not for me thanks. How would he fit in here? Not very well I'm thinking.
Man, I wish we had landed Davidson. I would rather start at the very top like Lambert said but I also believe this is unlikely. Bring on Burke.

Umm no thanks, Burke is precisely the type of relic hockey mind that has passed his expiration date.
I see. You can be negative, but no one else. Basically, you can't stand someone disagreeing with you and when they do you resort to insults.
Whatever, I'll be proven to be right as usual and you'll continue to attack me for it. It's just the price I have to pay.
I think the problem Burning has with you is that you just post negative. You don't really explain any of your comments in a logical way. You just beat your chest and proclaim things like feaster's drafting as bad. Yet the drafting can't really be judged yet just like the prospects we got back in our trades. we'll find out in a couple years if those were actually good trades or not. I'm not a huge fan of feaster but I am willing to give the guy a chance. ROR was bad but nobody in the league knew about what would have happened as several teams had tendered offers to the guy. Anyway I'm getting distracted but maybe just try going with a well thought out, logical argument to your points instead of being all crazy like that gun nut from texas I saw on the Daily show awhile back. Look it up that guy is insane, you don't want to be like that.

Davidson would never accept a position with meddling owners.
@Scary Gary
I don't think so. What was Feaster's date btw? Was he ever good at this?

I think if you read all of my posts I do usually back it up with reason and logic. Admittedly, sometimes I rant. Also, I do post positive sometimes, though not often. Thanks for a response that doesn't include name calling.

Renee Barlow and another explorer work their way along a steep edge toward a granery that held some important artifacts. The flute that was found in November of 2006 was found just a few yards right of their location.
Mark Connolly shows off the wooden shovel that was found in the granery.
Renee Barlow works her way along the edge of the cliff face.
The head gear modern archaeologists wear may be different, and much more protective than the fedora that Indiana Jones wore in his movies, but they are after much the same thing: discovering artifacts and antiquities. And those professionals that work in eastern Utah often had to wear that gear to get to where they want to go.
Range Creek has been a fascinating place every since it came into the public eye a few years ago. Protected from the outside world for over 50 years by rancher Waldo Wilcox, the international media descended upon it when it was announced that literally thousands of archaeological sites were present in the canyon, most of them undisturbed by humans since they were laid down by those that built them.
Before and since that publicity, archaeologists from a number of places have found themselves examining and exploring the canyon, looking for sites and possible finds that could tell the story of the ancient inhabitants.
In 2006 the discovery of a flute of undetermined age by Division of Wildlife Officer Alan Green set off even more activity in the area. In fact in the rock face just a little way away from the flute another significant find was discovered. "I walked along the edge of the cliff and found this granary," said Mark Connolly, another DWR officer. "I thought Alan had ventured over there, but he hadn't. It was so steep, tricky and narrow that I wouldn't have gone there without equipment if I had known he hadn't been there."
But this wasn't just any granary; it produced some finds that were not as significant as the flute, but still valuable.
"We found a number of items in the granary when we explored it," said Renee Barlow, the archaeologist at the College of Eastern Utah Prehistoric Museum. "The granary still was together with about 10 timbers measuring 4-6 inches each. Inside we found a hand carved wooden shovel and a digging stick. We also found some maize cobbs as well."
Barlow pointed out that the digging stick could have been a handle to a tool, but that nothing has been established for sure.
"We may never know exactly what it was," she noted.
The trip to recover the items was a careful one walking along a steep cliff edge, and angling up uneven rock to the granary.
But for Barlow and her colleagues, it was just in a days work.
"I have done this and some roping into granaries, but I take it very, very slow," stated Barlow.
That artifacts that were found are now in the college collection and are being preserved and protected.

text: A hotly debated topic, but it likely takes its name from Bourbon County, located in the central Bluegrass region of Kentucky. It was formed from Fayette county in 1785 while still a part of Virginia and named to honor the French Royal Family and was once the major transshipment site for distilled spirits heading down the Ohio and Mississippi rivers to New Orleans. Barrels shipped from its ports were stamped with the county's name, and Bourbon and whiskey soon became synonymous.

In spite of my uncouth early years, I've grown up to be a fancy person who got invited to a tea party. Extending my pinky just so, I sampled an assortment of black, white, green, and fruit teas. I lost track after six cups, and was pretty shaky by the end of the afternoon.
A white flour version of this vegan recipe with walnuts and raisins was a hit with tea drinkers of all persuasions. But unable to leave well-enough alone, and determined to put maple syrup in as many recipes as possible, I fiddled around with the ingredients and made the scones my own. I struck a balance between wheat flour (healthy but dense) and white flour (fluffy but nutritionally worthless), and added ground flax seed to make the scones softer and less crumbly.
These hearty, high-fiber scones are one more way to use Maine maple syrup, the only local product in season right now. Just remember to chew with your mouth closed.
Preheat the oven to 375F.
In a large bowl, combine the flours, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and flax seed. Add the margarine and beat with an electric mixer on low speed for 3-4 minutes, until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Stir in the oats and nuts. Mix on low speed for another minute, just to make sure all the large lumps of margarine are gone.
Add the maple syrup and soy milk and stir to combine.
On a floured surface, form the dough into an approximately 7-inch disk. With a metal spatula, cut the dough into 8 wedges and lift them onto an ungreased baking sheet. Sprinkle with cinnamon sugar and bake for 16-18 minutes, until golden brown. Transfer the scones to a cooling rack.
Makes 8 scones.

Section 13
An extract from Joseph Smith's history recounting the ordination of the Prophet and Oliver Cowdery to the Aaronic Priesthood near Harmony, Pennsylvania, May 15, 1829. The ordination was done by the hands of an angel who announced himself as John, the same that is called John the Baptist in the New Testament. The angel explained that he was acting under the direction of Peter, James, and John, the ancient Apostles, who held the keys of the higher priesthood, which was called the Priesthood of Melchizedek. The promise was given to Joseph and Oliver that in due time this higher priesthood would be conferred upon them. (See section 27:7–8, 12.)
The keys and powers of the Aaronic Priesthood are set forth.
1 Upon you my fellow servants, in the name of Messiah I

The Recovery of
Nazi Looted Art
How to deal with Nazi looted art has been one of the most hotly debated topics in the art world. The integrity and ethics of museums and private collections come under scrutiny when the provenance of works of art are questioned. In his illustrated lecture 'The recovery of Nazi looted art', Professor Norman Palmer will outline some of the issues and discuss their implications for museums and private collectors.

Other UK cultural policy committees
- Treasure Valuation Committee which advises the Minister on the rewards payable to persons involved in the discovery of portable antiquities (chair)
- Ministerial Working Group on Human Remains in Museum Collections which advises on the proper destination and treatment of human, funerary and associated spiritual material in the public domain (chair)
- Spoliation Advisory Panel which assists in the resolution of claims to cultural objects which were the subject of looting or other dispossession during the period 1933-45.
- ArtResolve a not-for-profit body formed to promote the out-of-court resolution of claims to cultural and related objects
- Museums and the Holocaust (2000)

Tearing up already
"My 8-year-old daughter only wore these twice this week - and they are already tearing up. The bronze on the toes and sides of the boots are peeling off. Very poor quality and do not recommend these for children. They won't hold up long at all. Disappointed as I expected more from the SM brand."
