Dig a hole under the nearest Oak tree, bury the bottle and put a padlock on the PeatWater cork ....
Thank's for the thought
I will RETURN!
|Nice Work Pete... keep it up and build that Forum up... By the way... I have an unopened bottle of Poagy oil at CAC waiting for you to open it unless Juro gets to open it first.
Bow River Bugger - Swap Fly
HOOK: Streamer hook (Mustad 79580 or equivalent), size 6-8-10
THREAD: 6/0, Black or Olive or Day-Glo Red, it does not really matter
TAIL: Black Marabou plume fibers
BODY: Dark Olive chenille, large for size 6, medium for size 8 &10
RIBBING: Gold Mylar tinsel size 14 (medium)
WINGS: Deer body hair (use hair from the back, longer and coarser, about 2 ½ inches long)
HACKLE: Black, wrapped in palmered
HEAD: Spun deer hair, clipped close
STEP 1: Tie the thread on about ¼ inch behind the hook eye; wrap the entire hook towards the rear
STEP 2: Tie in the tail of marabou plume fibers; extend about ¾ inch behind the bend of the hook
STEP 3: Tie in the Chenille, then the tinsel, then the hackle. Tie the hackle at the tip, not the stem end, open the fiber by running your fingers down the hackle. Make sure you follow the proper order, first on= first wrapped STEP 4: Wrap the chenille up to where you started the thread, then the tinsel, then palmer the hackle over the section of chenille that are exposed. Make several 6-8 more wraps to secure the whole assembly and make a foundation for the wing
STEP 5: Clip a bunch of deer body hair (about ½ pencil), remove the fur in the hair so that they stack well, stack the tips and tie on top of the hook at the same place you ended your wraps on the previous step extending the wing to the bend of the hook. Then clip off the front end of the hair, that which are crimped upwards, make several more wraps to secure the wing. The wing will flare a bit but will get back into proper shape when you spin the head on.
STEP 6: Time to make a spun head. Take another bunch of hair, about ½ pencil, no need to clean or stack here. Clip of the front 1 inch, the tips, leaving only the coarse part which should be about 1 inch long or less. Spin the first bunch on. Repeat this 2 more times, slightly reducing the size of the bunch of hair each time. The last bunch should leave you with about 1/16 of an inch or less of bare hook behind the eye, enough room to hold the spun hair back (pack tightly after each bunch) and tie off with several half hitch knots
STEP 7: Trim the spun head tightly and shape to a bullet style head.
The fly is a local favorite on the Bow River and it also works well on Bass. Fish it as a semi-dry on a floating line and expect violent takes. Fish it on a sink tip or full sink line, make sure your leader in not longer than 5 feet, and make the fly swim on an up & across cast, expect the hit about 45 degree into the swing. Hooks are barbed and it is up to you to decide on their usage.

Microsoft has revealed the Windows Surface PC today which will compete against the Kindle Fire and iPad. This is a Windows Surface Review of features.
Please Note: As we review the features we'll keep updating this Windows Surface Review post.
Windows Surface – Top 10 Features
- Full desktop PC – exactly like a regular Windows Desktop but in a 10.6″ form factor.
- Runs Office.
- IvyBridge Processor for Surface Pro and ARM processor for Surface RT.
- Cover doubles up as multi-touch keyboard. Cover is just 3 mm.
- Pen Input and it automatically switches from Touch to Pen input when it recognizes pen is near.
- Built-in Kickstand.
- Type Cover available which provides a full keyboard.
- Gorilla Glass screen.
- Magnesium Case which means the Intel Surface is just 14 mm thick and weights less than 2 pounds. The RT Surface is just 9.3 mm thick (0.37 inches) and weighs just 1.5 pounds.
- Choice – You can get Intel Surface with higher resolution display (1920 x 1080) or the other Surface (which hopefully costs less and has 1366 by 768 resolution).
Windows Surface – Review of Top 10 Features
- Full desktop PC – Will believe it when I see it. Being able to use a Display Port is very cool. Microsoft is promising it's a PC and a Tablet. Let's see.
- Runs Office – This is amazing.
- Cover is a multi-touch keyboard. Makes the smart cover look dumb.
- Pen Input – This is a big deal for designers and college students and anyone else who likes to make notes or draw or scribble.
- IvyBridge – Will have to see actual specifications. This is really good. Arm Processoer – let's see what this is like.
- Less than 2 pounds – Will have to see how it feels when using.
- Built-in Kickstand – This is a big win. So you can stand up your Tablet. Can't count the number of times I've wanted to do this with Kindle Fire or Nook Tablet.
- Gorilla Glass – Necessary.
- Type Cover – The option to get an optional cover that is a full keyboard is very very cool. I fall into the 95% of the population that can't type as well or as fast on a glass screen as on a keyboard and this will be a life saver. Wonder if this is much better than the touch cover or not.
- Two different models – Great since people who don't mind a normal, good display (and don't need to see every pixel in all its natural glory) can go for the lower priced option.
Windows Surface – Other Details
- Dual WiFi Antennae.
- Trackpad in the Touch Cover.
- Full-size USB port. Oh Thank God.
Here's a video:
Update: Windows Surface site is now up.
Windows Surface RT vs Windows Surface Pro (Intel)
What are the differences?
- Windows Surface RT will be competitively priced with ARM Tablets. That might mean $500 to $800.
- Windows Surface Intel will be competitively priced with Ultrabooks. That might mean $1,000 to $1,500. This will be called Windows Surface Pro
- Windows Surface Pro will be available 3 months after the first one.
- Surface RT is 9.3 mm (0.37 inches) thick and 1.5 pounds in weight. Surface Pro is 14 mm thick and weighs 2 pounds.
- Surface Pro has a higher resolution screen at 1920 by 1080.
- Both have – microSD, USB, video out, front and rear cameras.
- Surface RT will have up to 64 GB of storage. Surface Pro will have up to 128 GB of storage.
- Surface RT might be available in October when Windows 8 launches.
- Both have 10.6 inch 16:9 screens.
Windows Surface – The Big Unknowns
- What will the price be? Obviously the biggest unknown. It's supposed to be competitive with Ultrathins and Thin and Light PCs. Update: The lower end model would be priced to be competitive with ARM tablets. Does that mean around $500 to $700. That would be super.
- What will the battery life be? This is another big unknown.
- What are the full specifications? Would be nice to know processor speed, RAM, other details.
- When will it be available? From where? In which countries? If they don't make it available in Canada at launch we'll have to shut off the oil pipelines.
- Capacity – 32 GB and 64 GB. Intel Surface will have higher capacities.
I'll update this Windows Surface Review of the features once more details trickle out. Details included updates from The Verge Windows Surface Live Blog and Mashable Windows Surface Live Blog and MSNBC GadgetBox.

My Poultry Corner
Why I want to be mentor in this category:
After 22 years of trying to make chicken "exciting" I have not only made most of the mistakes out there but I have also learned how to save a meal once they happen.
Mid-west beef lovin girl marries East-coast man with a fear of beef. I had to learn to not only love chicken, but to search out just about every recipe out there so he wouldn't get bored!
Biggest Lesson Learned:
A good rotisserie chicken is your best friend, buy in bulk when meat is on sale and then freeze in size appropriate packages for your family.
Books, classes, teachers that have helped me:
I own more than 40 cookbooks..if a recipe exists, I can probably find it.
Education, Awards, Pro Experience:
22 years of very happy and satisfied family members, friends and guests, no one leaves my table hungry.
My Tips:
- Marinate, Marinate, Marinate BEFORE you freeze, it will save you precious minutes when it comes time to prepare dinner.
- Remember rubber chickens are only funny in comedy acts, not at the dinner table. Buy an inexpensive oven thermometer and learn to tell when your chicken is done.
My Halloween Corner
Why I want to be mentor in this category:
A good laugh and a long sleep are the best cures in the doctor's book.

On Monday, Aug. 13, the press conference on the rescue efforts for the trapped miners was held at the bottom of the mine road. Richard Stickler, assistant secretary of labor for the mine safety and health administration, updated the press.
He said they had met with the families and explained in detail all the information they have available. They showed the families the video footage taken overnight.
Stickler went into detail on the drilling efforts taking place since the first day on Aug. 6. He said the 2.5 inch bore hole went in as quickly as possible to allow listening equipment to be placed down the hole. The large 8 5/8th inch hole came into the mine within two feet of where it was planned. The casing which is a steel liner was inserted down this larger hole. The second video showed better quality pictures but it was determined more light was needed. The third time the camera was inserted with more light and more detailed pictures were produced. When hole number two isn't being used for pictures then air is inserted into that hole at a rate of 2,000 cubic feet per minute. While the hole is being used for the camera, free flowing air moves into the hole at a rate of 340 cubic feet per minute.
Stickler said they have tried to guess where the miners might go in this situation since they couldn't go out the main entry. They are drilling the next hole in-by a bleeder entry. Stickler said they have concern that with the seismic activity a rush of unsuitable air came into the mine. Oxygen deficiency in the active area of the mine could come from the sealed area to the north. They can't identify specifically where it came from. Mine rescue workers have been in the north sealed area setting up monitoring devices. The south side will also be evaluated. In the near future, the rescue effort will have to deal with a lot of oxygen deficient air. Ventilation in the original seismic activity knocked out ventilation to cross cut 95. A lot of force was involved and good air was also forced in-by which could create pockets of good air where the miners could go. There is also talk of drilling a fourth hole.
The underground work is going slowly according to Stickler. They have moved from crosscut 120 to crosscut 124. This is 645 feet of groundwork progression so far as of press conference time of 1:30 p.m. on Monday.
"The miners are continuing to work hard and the morale is enthusiastic. The sheriff's office, MSHA, the mine company and other people off site continue to work together," said Stickler.
Company officials had equipment set up to show the press the video of the area surrounding the 8 5/8th inch hole. Rob Moore, UtahAmerican Energy, Inc. narrated what was being shown. He pointed out the belt hangers and a water line. He showed the roof which is still intact. A tool bag was noticed which probably contained splicing tools. The video will be made available to the television channels for broadcast.
The active mine activity was taking place at crosscut 139 on entry number one. "The focus remains on the rescue effort and the well being of the rescue workers. They are doing an outstanding job and will remain on the effort until this rescue is complete," said Moore.
Company owner, Bob Murray thanked all those who have been on the site the last eight days to report on what's been happening. "I am disappointed not to be telling you we have found six alive miners. If the seismic event that occurred did not kill them outright, then we have many reasons to be hopeful. The roof is supported. There is nowhere the roof caved in.There is open space. There is much potable water underground. We are working on the same plan we started with last Monday. These are the worst mining conditions I have ever seen; progress is way too slow, but we can't risk the life of the rescue workers. We drilled the first 2.5 inch hole where we thought the miners would be. We drilled the 8 5/8th inch hole and still no sign of life. We have now calculated where the employees might have gone next. We are also doing engineering work on a fourth drilling location. The underground efforts have been on the same plan. The drilling is trial and error."
Murray said a helicopter is taking a photographer to the drill site to get pictures of the drilling. "We are distraught, but dedicated professionals have been working around the clock. It is heartbreaking. We have spared nothing with equipment and whatever is takes to find these miners alive," said Murray.
Murray said the families are holding up better than you could imagine in view of the grief they are suffering. Briefings are being held twice a day and originally started out with four meetings a day. "They are holding up and their strength is amazing," said Murray.
Stickler fielded questions from the press which included questions about outbursts which Stickler addressed, he said ribs (mine walls) blowing out is quite common. He said they haven't encountered such minining conditions before.
When questioned why the drilling of the third hole was so slow he said a road had to be constructed to the area and they had to wait for daylight to take the heavy drilling equipment on this road. They are drilling through many feet of solid rock which takes time. Slopes range anywhere from 90 degrees to 25 degrees. The third hole is located 1,300 feet from the second hole.
Murray was asked if any of the rescue workers had walked off the job. Murray explained that 12 workers have asked to be taken off the rescue work at the face for various reasons. They have been reassigned other jobs in the mine.
Murray said seismic activity continues to happen in the mine and a pillar has shifted sideways three feet. The safety precautions being taken with rock props, timbers and chain link fencing securing the sides of the mine are aiding in the safety of the rescue miners. The mining company has received opinions from rock mechanics and experts from the industry who agree that the system developed and implemented since last Monday is the right system to use.
Stickler said a transition is expected from a totally filled entry to the area where there is only two feet of rubble. Ventilation is expected to get worse.
Reporters asked Murray to speculate on the amount of time the underground effort would take to reach the miners. He instructed them to do their own math, but they are moving at a faster rate now than before. Seven days into the underground rubble moving they have advanced 645 feet. They have moved from crosscut 120-125. There is 130 feet between crosscuts. The miners are estimated to be in anywhere between 1,700 to 2,000 feet.
The next press conference is Aug. 14 at 11 a.m.

The striking Co-op Miners have set up a picket line at the bottom of the Bear Canyon road. At the top of the road the CW Mining Company mines coal, business as usual with reduced production. The miners are in their eighth week of picketing the mine. The workers are accusing the mine of unfair labor practices. The miners are listing low wages, unsafe conditions, intimidation by supervisors, no health insurance and other grievances as the reason for their continued presence on the picket line.
These workers are handicapped by a language barrier and the workers want to make their plight known. Jim Stevenson of the United Mine Workers has been instrumental in giving these miners hope in their quest for what they call, "respect and dignity."
Stevenson said they have filed charges against the CW Mining Company with the National Labor Relations Board. The company was asked if they would work to mediate the problems at the mine and the company has refused.. These workers are protected from coercion and intimidation whether they belong to a union or not, stressed Stevenson. When the miners tried to return to work the next day after the problems with the one fired worker the company had a list of miners they would let through to return to work and only four or five miners were named on the list and the others were fired, according to Stevenson.
Stevenson reported that workers claimed they were forced to operate unsafe equipment under unsafe conditions including unstable roof conditions.
Stevenson also reported that the UMWA, some of the striking miners, AFL-CIO support group and other citizens groups had been to a Kingston company office building in Salt Lake and picketed there trying to raise awareness of the plight of the miners. Stevenson said they are also trying to make customers of the Kingston polygamous clan owned businesses aware of the unfair working conditions at the businesses, including the Emery County mine. "We want the customers back east to know that they are burning coal mined with slave labor," said Stevenson.
"These workers lived in fear, if they were hurt on the job; they couldn't collect workmens compensation because they were expected to be back on the job or they would lose their jobs even if they were injured. This mine operates like the companies did in the early days of the organizing of the union. We have had a trailer donated by pensioners for the striking miners to use. One of the Co-op supervisors stopped the other day and talked to the picketers and told them they were all going to be arrested and that they couldn't have that trailer there. We checked with the state before putting the trailer there and have a permit to keep it there. This Kingston group is very well insulated in the state. They have been under investigation by the Internal Revenue Service in the past and we are investigating their way of doing business.
"We tried to work with these people and mediate and tried to resolve these issues. Their company union is illegal and it's phony and operated by the management and none of the workers belong to it. They have taken advantage of these immigrant workers. One immigrant worker has worked there for 22 years and was only making $7 per hour, another has been there for 14 years and was making $6.80 an hour. Only one of the miners has returned to work. This involves 74 miners and there are people willing to testify as to what these miners went through. These immigrant workers have been exploited and we are taking a stand against the Kingston empire. These workers deserve fair treatment and dignity and respect. That's why they are standing on the pickets.
"A decision will be made in mid-November by the National Board of Labor Relations as to whether or not the CW Mining Company has been involved in unfair labor practices. We believe we have a solid case. We want these workers back to work and these issues resolved. They are entitled to reinstatement and back wages if the board rules in their favor. The UMWA is here to assist the workers in asserting their rights. If they want to bargain a contract with the UMWA or another union of their choice, that is their right. I believe organized labor is starting to come back; 1 percent of the population in this country controls 99 percent of the wealth.
"In non-union mines just the threat of a union makes for better working conditions for the miners, better pay and training. A lot of the old union mines were mined out and Deer Creek is the only UMWA mine left in this area," said Stevenson.

(September 27) Tonight we're observing . . . Yom Kippur
Yom Kippur (Jewish)
Beginning at sundown tonight*, Jews begin their observance of Yom Kippur, the Day of Atonement.
Yom Kippur is the most solemn day of the Jewish year and is observed on the tenth day of Tishri. It is a day of fasting, reflection and prayers.
By Yom Kippur the 40 days of repentance, that begin with the first of Elul, have passed. On Rosh Hashanah G-d has judged most of mankind and has recorded his judgement in the Book of Life. But he has given a 10 day reprieve.
On Yom Kippur the Book of Life is closed and sealed. Those who have repented for their sins are granted a good and happy New Year.
Visit our celebration of the the Jewish High Holy Days for more information on – Yom Kippur
*The Hebrew calendar begins at sundown, consequently most Jewish Holidays also begin at sundown.

World's Wackiest Pub Crawls
Ever felt like wearing your Batman costume in public but decided against it after realizing that it isn't exactly socially acceptable? Well then, you're in luck – there's a pub crawl for that.
Harry Potter Pub Crawl
Harry Potter Pub CrawlHarry Potter Pub Crawl – Chestnut Hill, Pennsylvania
Calling all muggles! Your chance to prove that you really ARE a wizard is finally here. This pub crawl is just one event of an entire Harry Potter weekend – complete with a quidditch tournament, costume contests and a total Hogsmeade-themed town makeover. 960 1280
Santa Claus Pub Crawl
Santa Claus Pub CrawlSanta Claus Pub Crawl – Various Cities
Because what could possibly be more holly or jolly than dressing up like good 'ole Saint Nick and having a drink (or a few) with thousands of similarly decked-out strangers? Santa Claus pub crawls take place all around the world (this one's in London) but the annual event in Wollongong, Australia is one of the oldest. 960 1280
Superhero Crawl
Superhero CrawlSuperhero Crawl – Reno, Nevada
Pull up your tights, grab your cape and get ready to "save the world, one drink at a time." You'll need the stamina of a superhero to survive this pub crawl, which continues until the bars close. Don't forget your mask-- you'll want to keep your identity concealed as you stagger home. 960 1280
The Subcrawl
The SubcrawlThe Subcrawl – Glasgow, UK
Glasgow's circular subway line has inspired a rather unique challenge: buy an all-day pass and get off at each of the 15 stops for a drink at the closest bar. You deserve a serious pat on the back (and probably a cab home) if you make it all the way around. Just to keep things interesting, subcrawlers are required to ride the train without sitting down or holding on, a practice known as "subsurfing." 960 1280
Pirate Pub Crawl
Pirate Pub CrawlPirate Pub Crawl – Florida
Ahoy matey! Why wait for International Talk Like a Pirate Day (September 19th — in case you didn't already know) to talk like a pirate? In fact, why not combine talking like a pirate, dressing like a pirate AND drinking like one, too! This guided pub crawl in Dunedin, FL, even includes a history lesson about the most notorious pirates in Tampa Bay history. Yo ho ho … and a bottle of rum. 960 1280
Tacky Christmas Sweater
Tacky Christmas SweaterTacky Christmas Sweater Bar Crawl – Washington, DC
Let's face it – that Christmas sweater that Granny got you is way too embarrassing to wear to anything BUT a theme party, so here's your chance! Helpful hint: the more 3-dimensional, the better, and sweater vests tend to increase the tackiness. 960 1280
Zombie Pub Crawl
Zombie Pub CrawlZombie Pub Crawl – Minneapolis & St. Paul, Minnesota
No, this is not a scene out of "Dawn of the Dead," (admittedly, the makeup was a bit better in the movie). It's just a zombie pub crawl! Head to Minneapolis/ St. Paul to party like it's your last day on earth or like you're already dead. 960 1280
Monopoly Pub Crawl
Monopoly Pub CrawlMonopoly Pub Crawl – London
Work your way around the London monopoly board on this ambitious pub crawl, with 26 stops at 26 pubs for each of the 26 streets featured in the game. Unfortunately, none of the pubs offer "Get Out of Jail Free" cards – so be sure to stick to half pints. 960 1280
Silent Disco Pub Crawl
Silent Disco Pub CrawlSilent Disco Pub Crawl – Various Cities
Participants wear headsets and dance from bar to bar listening to an MP3 player on this seriously wacky pub crawl. You may have Top 40 tracks blasting in your ears, but the rest of the world has no idea -- so prepare to get a few questioning looks. Plan your own silent pub crawl with the help of Silent Storm, a company that specializes in "silencing" events. 960 1280

This year, however, without warning or cause, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid refused to allow for adequate debate or an open process for amending the legislation, breaking an important tradition that has been one of Congress's few bright spots in recent years.
In the past decade, regardless of which party was in power, the NDAA has been considered in the Senate for an average of nine days with an average of 130 amendments considered each year. But this year, after just two days of considering the bill and voting on only two amendments, Reid filed a motion to end debate on the legislation and block any other senator, Republican or Democrat, from offering further amendments. This is a dangerous and unnecessary new precedent to set when it comes to our national security.
I wrote an op-ed in the Deseret News to explain how Harry Reid's choice to abandon long-standing precedents in the Senate blocks the voice of the American people in Washington. My colleagues and I had several amendments dealing with our due process rights, the NSA, sanctions against Iran, and sexual assault in the military. Regardless of where you stand on these issues, you deserve to have these issues debated by your representatives in Washington.
I cannot vote to support this legislation until my colleagues and I are allowed to debate and amend it in a way that respects the normal democratic processes that have worked well for almost 50 years

Love these boots
"I love these boots. The heel is a bit high, but the platform makes up for the height. The material is soft and looks great. I get compliments every time I wear them. There isn't a ton of ankle support because the boot is loose at the top. If you have issues with that, you may not enjoy these boots."

"I really like this boot, but I'm torn on whether to keep. I read the reviews before purchasing, and now understand the complaints about the boot "shaft" being cheap and flimsy. The color, height, and buckles are awesome. I have other Bacio 61 shoes and really love the brand. However, the leather is soft & loose at the top - it's like they used scissors to trim the top, then forgot the finishing touches. The buckle doesn't tighten enough to keep the leather from sagging. I think if I add a hole to tighten the top strap, the boots will look much better, or just wear with skinny pants that go over the boot."

Soooo.. I know this is a manga site and all, but I was wondering if anyone isn't interested in talking about other stuff like politics, reviewing movies, reviewing music, discussing international relations, stuff in the news.. You know just expanding what is discussed.
Like here is an interesting subject:
Russia with its increased revenue from oil (rising prices and increased production) have led it to open new doors and opportunities. One would expect Russia to invest in its people and its economy with such extra money, yet Putin seems to just improve their military. Some analysts say that Russia just wants to be taken more seriously in the world, historically they take pride in their military, and enjoy that respect when people see Russia has that bomb, tank, gun or whatever. However, isn't Putin letting Russia, or himself, sacrifice further economic growth of their country for pride? On the other hand, is this the right move to create growth in Russia and ultimately expand economic growth as well as a general better standard of living?
So. I hope some of you are interested, but I won't be surprised if the number of responses are few and faint.

Biased or not, that is why we need tea drinking buddies. So we are not making these claims up by self 'makes believe'.

What Our Students Are Saying:
"I am a mid-career transactional and estate planning attorney at a mid-sized law firm. Given my busy professional and personal obligations, I needed to find the most efficient option in the market. I found that option under the banner of the top-tier University of Alabama Law School's online LL.M. program. Being able to attend live classes remotely via my laptop or my iPhone, made my completion of the program possible and convenient. What put the program over the top was its practical courses, affordable tuition and its all-star teaching line up."
McGavick Graves, P.S.
Tacoma, Washington
"Not only did the program allow me to earn a degree from a distance but the live lectures provided me an opportunity to ask questions and build time for study in my schedule that was respected by others in my office."
Chang, Ruthenberg and Long
Folsom, California
"The Tax Program at the University of Alabama's Law School is second to none. It is a challenging program that offers convenience, economy and flexibility. The nationwide faculty provides students with a wealthy blend of scholarly experience and applicability to daily tax issues.

If experience equals wisdom, Michelle Marie is wise beyond her years.
Her late teens and early 20s were a roller coaster ride marked by a bold, cross-country move away from her parents that "failed miserably," a runway modeling career for Redken Fifth Avenue that ended in substance abuse, bulimia and a suicide attempt, and a rock-bottom moment in which she faced eviction, car repossession and life without a cell phone.
As she stands today, at the age of 27, one wouldn't be able to pick up on the troubles that plagued her past. Marie appears easygoing, put-together, confident and full of life. And that's largely because she has come out on the other side with a renewed attitude and a list of ambitions.
Having just moved to Parker five months ago with her boyfriend and dog, Marie found herself, again, in a strange place with no money and no nearby friends or family. But this time it was different. The move from Lake Geneva, Wis., was meant as a fresh start, and so far, so good.
Since February, Marie has landed a slew of sponsors, been crowned Ms. Colorado State, created a women's networking group called FemCity Denver, and started a career as a public speaker. That was after a brief stint working for a roofing company. It's difficult to tell which direction she wants to go, but Marie sets the record straight when asked about her ultimate goal.
"I would love to brand myself to get in line with an international nonprofit and be the image associated with that nonprofit," she says.
And that brand-development campaign has already begun. By putting her face and name out in Denver, Marie hopes to regain the minor celebrity status she enjoyed in Lake Geneva, where she resurrected her career as a runway model and dabbled in numerous charitable efforts over the last five years.
Her dream to become a philanthropic international spokesmodel might come across as lofty, but with Marie, it doesn't seem out of reach at all. She has degrees in marketing and is getting in some good practice by plugging her sponsors during Ms. Colorado State appearances. She has taken her message of hope and self-worth to high school students. Marie has also spoken to elementary school kids, instilling in them the belief that "the smallest hands can make the largest impact."
"I discovered I could make a difference with my voice," says Marie, who cites Eva Peron and Angelina Jolie as her idols.
Although she is pulled in many directions — her next gig is a YouTube series that will have her interviewing Douglas County business owners — Marie says she does not want to look back on her life knowing that she didn't strive to meet her own expectations.
"When I have a daughter one day, I want to tell her I went for it and struggled through it," she said.

Cute But Not for Me
"These were cute but weren't very comfortable. I love flats but like to have a little bit of support and just didn't get it with these shoes. Unfortunately had to return them. Thanks to DSW's easy returns, I can order all I want and return what doesn't work!"

you gotta have good pictures so every1 can see the resemblances more clearly to support your theory.
As for my opinion, no, Gedou Mazou is not the actual jyubi's body. However we do know it plays a role into the rebirth of the jyubi as it's collecting and containing the chakra. I think Rikudou created Gedou Mazou prolly in the image of the jyubi.

Wind Power
Humanity has been using the wind to do work for thousands of years. The kinetic energy of the wind can be changed into other forms of energy, either mechanical energy or electrical energy. When wind fills a sail, its kinetic energy is being used to push a sailboat through the water. Farmers have been using wind energy for many years to pump water from wells using windmills like the one shown on the right. Wind is also used to turn large grinding stones to mill or grind wheat or corn, just like a water wheel is turned by water power.
The wind is also used by a wind turbine to make electricity.
According to the online Illustrated History of Wind Power Development, the first use of a large windmill to generate electricity was a system built in Cleveland, Ohio, in 1888 by Charles F. Brush. The Brush machine had multiple-blades more than 50 feet in diameter. Over the last 100 years, wind turbines have advanced dramatically through newer technology and better understanding of the dynamics of the wind. But in order to generate electricity, you still need relatively constant wind speeds in any given location.
We have many windy areas in California. The only problem with wind is that it is not windy all year long, nor is the speed fairly constant. It is usually windier during the summer months when wind rushes inland from cooler areas, such as near the ocean, to replace hot rising air in California's warm central valleys and deserts. By placing mechanical wind turbines in these windy areas, we tap the moving wind to make electricity.
A wind turbine is very similar to a child's pinwheel or the propeller of an airplane. The blade of a turbine is tilted an angle. The movement of the air is channeled creating low and high pressures on the blade that force it to move. The blade is connected to a shaft, which in turn is connected to an electrical generator. The mechanical energy of the turning blades is changed into electricity.
Wind speeds typically must be sustained and at least 10 miles per hour to turn larger turbines fast enough to generate electricity. The turbines usually produce about 50 to 300 kilowatts of electricity each. A kilowatt is 1,000 watts (kilo means 1,000). You can light ten 100 watt light bulbs with 1,000 watts. So, a 300 kilowatt (300,000 watts) wind turbine could light up 3,000 light bulbs that use 100 watts.
There are more than 14,000 wind turbines in California grouped together in what are called wind "farms." The farms have roughly 1,800 megawatts of installed capacity. These wind farms are located mostly in the three windiest areas of the state:
- Altamont Pass east of San Francisco
- San Gorgonio Pass near Palm Springs
- Tehachapi south of Bakersfield
Together these three places make enough electricity to supply an entire city the size of San Francisco with electrical power! All together the wind turbines in California produce about 1 percent of California's total electricity.
Photo by Warren Gretz, NREL 11144
If you're driving along the freeways near California's wind farms, many of them may appear to not be working. There are any number of factors: wind speed is not high enough, the turbine may be too old to produce electricity, the turbine may be down for maintenance, or the wind speed may be too high. Many of the older turbines are being upgraded and replaced by newer, more efficient models.

Energy Efficient Shades, Blinds & Window Treatments
- Be kind to your pocketbook, lower bills
- Reduce energy needs
- Thermal picks maintain inside temps
- Absorb outside heat & cold
- Block UV rays, protect furnishings
Add energy efficiency to your home by choosing the right window coverings. An insulating window shade will quickly pay for itself by lowering your heating and cooling bills. Cellular shades are the best insulator with year-round efficiency, and shutters are also a great choice. Roman shades and custom drapery with thermal lining also provide good insulation. Remember that shades must be closed to provide insulation, so choose a fabric opacity that fits your lighting needs. Solar screen shades provide view-through and summertime efficiency but should be paired with another treatment for nighttime privacy and winter insulation.

dermatome /der·ma·tome/ (der´mah-tom)
1. an instrument for cutting thin skin slices for grafting.
2. the area of skin supplied with afferent nerve fibers by a single posterior spinal root.
3. the lateral part of an embryonic somite.
It's the first definition that I will be discussing.
Padgett invented the first dermatome in 1939. This one was a drum dermatome and was manually operated. It was a surgical instrument for easily removing large flaps of skin of a prescribed depth. This helped move skin grafting to common practice from a miraculous one.
Today dermatomes can be operated manually, air-powered, or electrically. Many are named after their inventors. There are what I would consider three main types:
Blade dermatomes
- These provides rapid harvest of large grafts of uniform thickness. These may be air powered, electric, or manually operated.
- All of these harvest by the same mechanism: a rapidly oscillating side-to-side blade is advanced over the skin with thickness and width settings adjusted by the surgeon.
- Commonly used dermatomes include the Castroviejo, Reese, Padgett-Hood, Brown, Davol-Simon, and Zimmer (photo credit)
- When using the air or electric powered dermatomes, the operating surgeon must be familiar with the installation of the blade and how to adjust the setting for graft thickness and must check these before operating the device. There is a correct and an incorrect orientation of the blade, and the two may easily be confused.
- Insertion of a No. 15 blade scalpel simulates a thickness of 0.015 inches and can be used to check that thickness settings are uniform and correct. After the blade orientation, width guard and depth setting are confirmed, and harvesting may begin.
Drum dermatomes
- Drum dermatomes are less frequently used today but are available for specialized grafting needs.
- On these instruments, the oscillating blade is manually powered as the drum is rolled over the skin surface. These dermatomes can be used to harvest broad sheets of skin of exacting thickness.
- They are useful when the donor site is irregular, with a convexity, concavity, or bony prominence (neck, flank, buttock), because the skin to be harvested is first made adherent to the drum with a special glue or adhesive tape.
- These dermatomes also allow precise irregular patterns to be harvested by varying the pattern of adhesive applied to the skin and drum.
- Disadvantages include the risk of injury to operating personnel by the swinging blade, the need to use flammable agents such as acetone or ether to cleanse the donor site and remove surface oils to ensure secure adhesion of the skin to the dermatome drum, and greater technical expertise required to safely and effectively operate these devices.
- Reese and Padgett-Hood (photo credit) are examples of this type. Check out the 5th reference article.
Free-hand Knives
- Called knives and not dermatomes, these still fit the definition. Examples include the Humby knife (photo credit), Weck blade, and Blair knife.
- The disadvantages include grafts with irregular edges and varying thicknesses. As with the drum dermatomes, greater technical expertise is necessary, and graft quality tends to be operator dependent.

Harry W. Easterbrook
Harry Williams Easterbrook was born in Standardville, Carbon on Aug. 20, 1916 to Andrew Clarkson (Sr.) and Janet Williams Easterbrook. He was named for his paternal grandfather, Harry Williams.
Harry's early years were spent in Standardville, moving to Kenilworth in 1930 where he lived for seven years. When he was 7 years old he started spending the summers in Cleveland with his grandparents, Harry and Gwendoline Williams, who lived on a farm between Cleveland and Huntington. He was very close to his uncle Harvey, who was only four years older.
The family lived in Cleveland during the strike in 1922, They lived on main street near where the Frank Jensen home is now. He started first grade in Cleveland. Some of the other kids in his class were Vida Timothy (Wall), Ward Tucker, Emma Ward (Tucker), Leora Jensen (Leamaster) and DeRell Litster.
He graduated from Carbon High in 1936. He was a cheerleader at Carbon High.
Harry worked for six months in Kenilworth on the tipple before moving to Cleveland in March 1937. His dad bought the farm in Cleveland for Harry to run.
While at a dance at Wilberg's in Castle Dale in May 1938, a pretty young girl named Barbara Whitehead caught his eye. She was also from Cleveland. They were married October 15, 1938 in Kenilworth. They made their home in Cleveland.
On Oct. 15, 1941 Harry started work in Hiawatha. He transferred to Castle Gate for six months and then back to Hiawatha as part of the "bull gang" from August 1943 to December 24, 1944. He then worked as a handyman until October 1947. At that time, Hiawatha started a "C" shift and he operated the main board through 1949.
In about 1950 Harry went to work at the blending plant until October 15, 1955. Later he went to work on the washbox, which he operated for 15 and a half years. The forces were at the mine and Harry went to work on the main central operating the three panels until he went on the carpenter crews in April 1977.
Harry retired from the coal mine April 24, 1979. He is a proud member of the UMWA Union, having been a member now for 66 years.
Harry still lives in the family home in Cleveland. Barbara died June 14, 1998, just four months shy of their 60th wedding anniversary. Harry was her constant caregiver to the very end. Their two daughters are Joyce Brasher of Huntington and Carol Wolf of Springville. Harry has seven grandchildren and 14 great-grandchildren.
John Ward Tucker
John Ward Tucker born on New Years Day, 1916 in Cleveland to Moses and Florence Ward Tucker. He was named after his Grandpa John Edward Ward. He was the youngest boy of five sons and three daughters.
As a boy he was always helping his Dad on the farm and taking care of the animals they raised. He enjoyed doing sports in school and was one of the best pole vaulters.
When Ward bought his first car he traded three horses for it. The man that sold him the car had asked him for a ride, Wards reply was, "What about the horses?" Upon arriving in town, his car and side boards were full of kids.
On May 3, 1937 he married Cecilia Ruth Jensen. They had four boys, two of which were the first twins born to Cleveland. Roy and Deloris Tucker Huntington, Voy Tucker of Moab, Cloye and Deloye Tucker of Cleveland.
At age 62 he retired after working in several coal mines for 45 years.
While working in the coal mines he was caved on in the Spring Canyon/Castle Gate Mine it took five men to lift a rock off of him.
He had a broken neck, ankle, shoulder blade, and ribs, three of them which were broke away from his back bone.
When he started working for the coal mines it was very different than it is today. They had to wait until they got home to bath because there was no bath houses or toilets.
At this time there were no roof bolts or rib pins, they just had timbers props.
When something was loose they had to pick it off. This involved a lot of hand work.
The mining cars that they used were wooden and were only one ton. After working in the coal mine all day he would come home and work on the farm with his boys.
Ward and his family loved to ride horses they would go on trail rides, ride in rodeo, he also liked to run his horses on flat track and chariots.
Ward and his family belonged to the Blue Ridge Riding Club.
On Wards birthday he always likes to have a big party. Cecil would always cook a big dinner for his family and friends.
Anyone who knew Ward and Cecil knew that their door was always open. Ward and Cecil loved to dance even after Ward retired they would go to the Senior Citizens Center.

Back to school: Using FishEye Commit Graph with JIRA and Crucible
- By Sten Pittet, Product Manager

- On February 20, 2013
Sometimes it doesn't hurt to talk again about things we covered in the past. I must admit that before writing this post I was wondering whether or not people would find value in it as the Commit Graph isn't really a brand new feature. But a couple discussions with some folks in Atlassian convinced me that not everyone knew all the great things that you could achieve with it. Taking this in account and thinking about all the new developers adopting our tools everyday I decided to write something

I-64 Lane Shifts, Closures Rescheduled
The Missouri Department of Transportation has rescheduled planned work on the inside lanes of I-64 between Sarah and Kingshighway to Friday and Saturday, Jan. 18-19.
Temperatures for next week, when the work was scheduled, are projected to be too cold to complete the work to fill in the rumble strips on the inside shoulder of the interstate.
Crews will close the left (inside) lane of I-64 in both directions starting at 7 p.m. Friday. All lanes will be reopened by 6 p.m. Saturday. The ramp from Vandeventer to westbound I-64 will also be closed during this work for safety.
This work must be done before crews close the interstate the weekend of Jan. 25-28 to remove the Taylor and Newstead bridges. When those bridges are removed and the interstate reopens, the three through lanes in both directions between Sarah and Kingshighway will be narrowed and shifted.
The projected cold temperatures will not impact the closures of Taylor and Newstead after morning rush on Jan. 21, nor should they impact next weekend's interstate closure.
More information on upcoming work will be released when it becomes available, and will be shared on the project webpage.

I was recently given this kit by a friend in my flying club. We were talking about building, and ARFs vs Kits, and I was saying that at this point in my career, I have plenty of planes to fly, and I am much more interested in building a nice scale kit than assembling another ARF. So he offered me a Jemco .40 sized P-47 kit he had, (made in 1979 and designed by Jim Meister according to the plans) and I am totally stoked to be getting started on it.
This kit is interestingly designed. It has a built up fuse, and foam core wings (new for me) and almost none of it is to be built over the plans. I had the plans scanned anyway, and I will refer to the computer screen for most of what I need. Any templates that were meant to be cut out of the plans will be traced from the copies and printed out. I also set up my camera in such a way as to capture parts straight on, and against a grid for scale, and shot in all the die cut plywood pieces, and the ends of the foam core blanks. My goal is to record enough info to be able to reproduce parts or even build the whole plane again. (the one snag in that being all the molded plastic goodies that go with it)
As far as I can tell, all the parts are accounted for and in good shape, with the exception of the cowl. Over the years it has deformed some, and has an odd depression molded into both sides from heat and/or pressure. I have never done it before, but I am considering making it into a plug, so that I can then make a female mold from that to produce a new cowl out of fiberglass. Its just such a detailed part. Perhaps I will start with one of the simpler parts.
The kit includes the parts for making 2 1000lb bombs and a center drop tank, the pylons for the bombs, the razorback, and a turbocharger (yeah?) exit on the bottom rear of the fuse. Also the clear canopy, which is pristine. It provides in the plans for scale opening supercharger exits on the sides which I plan to do, a scale exhaust exit at the rear of the fuse I do not, a sliding canopy I am not sure about yet, and I'm toying with making the cowl flaps operate. In the instructions, it says that the prototype flew well, even at 9 1/2 lbs, but I think I can do a lot of scale detail and still keep it well under that with modern materials and hardware. I have a Zero of about the same size that weighs 7 1/2 lbs, and it handles great.
So far, I have inventoried and marked all the parts, removed all the die cut parts from their frames, and traced out everything that cant be copied off the plans. (just as a note, I checked several of the parts against the original plans, and they fit perfectly, so I have confidence I can reproduce accurately from them) I debated building up a cradle to set the fuse frame on during assembly, but since I will not need it long, and only for this, I opted to use "mini sawhorses" made out of taped together CD cases... Since my table is flat, and the CD cases all the same, it actually sits very flat and straight. I have gotten as far now as attaching all the fuse formers to the frame. F-1 is epoxied on, 2-9 are tacked on with CA, and 10 is wood glued, with some balsa added to it for the hinge to bite into later.
I just wanted to get this thread going, since it is a fairly rare kit. (I looked, and hardly found any info on it) If anyone wants to chime in with their experience and comments please feel free This is my first real build thread. I have put together and repaired quite a few ARFs, and I have built a Great Planes Spirit 100 sailplane kit, and most of an old IM products CAP 21 kit. I fancy myself a decent craftsman, and don't foresee having too much trouble with this kit, but I hope to learn a lot doing it.
