At some point, discussions of US policy toward Egypt almost invariably result in the statement "There are no good options." The same truth also holds true for Egypt's Christian community. They're now in the unenviable position of being caught between the Muslim Brotherhood-which is explicatory or implicitly behind the recent wave of religious motivated attacks against them-and the al-Sisi led government which seeks to use the plight of the Christians to garner international support while doing little to actually protect them. Here's the latest update from Human Rights Watch:
In the vast majority of the 42 cases Human Rights Watch documented, neither the police nor the military were present at the start or during the attack. In one case, in Dalga, a village in southern Minya governorate, residents said that men had attacked the local police station around the same time. In Kirdassa, Giza, west of Cairo, an activist said that mobs attacked the local police station, killing15 officers according to the Associated Press, before attacking Al-Mallak church. A priest in Malawi, a town in Minya governorate south of Minya city, told Human Rights Watch that he called emergency services and police multiple times while mobs burned his church, but no one came. Another Dalga resident said that on August 16 the governor promised to send armored personnel carriers to protect Copts from ongoing violence, but that none came.
"We [church officials] spoke to the prime minister, minister of interior, and a military official asking them to intervene," Coptic Bishop General of Minya Anba Makarios told Human Rights Watch on August 19. He said the officials promised to send protection, but it never arrived.
In Hadeyeq Helwan, 30 kilometers south of Cairo, a resident told Human Rights Watch that one armored personnel carrier finally arrived on the afternoon of August 17, a day after the St. George Church there came under attack.
Residents in Minya city told Human Rights Watch that in the week following Morsy's removal from the presidency on July 3, someone had spray-painted Coptic-owned store fronts in Minya's city center with a black "X" to distinguish them from Muslim-owned buildings. Those marked subsequently came under attack.
The attacks come after weeks of sectarian discourse by Muslim Brotherhood supporters at the Nahda and Rab'a al-Adawiya sit-ins in which speakers claimed or insinuated a link between Copts and Morsy's removal. One speaker, Assem Abdel Magid, said on July 24,"Copts and communists are supporting Sisi in the killing of Muslims." A YouTube video of a pro-Morsy march on July 12 shows marchers chanting "Islamic Islamic despite the Christians" while passing a church.
Some Muslim Brotherhood leaders have condemned the recent sectarian attacks. On August 16, Dr. Mourad Ali, spokesman of the Brotherhood's Freedom and Justice Party, released a statement that said, "Pursuant to our party's indivisible principles, we strongly condemn any attack, even verbal, against Copts, their churches or their property."
Others however have suggested a Coptic role in the ongoing crackdown on the group. On the afternoon of August 14, the Freedom and Justice Party Helwan Branch posted a statement on the group's Facebook page accusing Pope Tawadros, the religious leader of the Egyptian Coptic community,of participating in Morsy's removal and of inciting Copts to block roads, encircle mosques, and storm them. The message ended with, "For every action there is a reaction." On August 16, the Muslim Brotherhood website published a story with the headline,"The police and the church open fire on the al-Haram march at Giza tunnel and Murad Street." Several residents and clergy in areas where church attacks occurred said that local religious leaders incited groups to attack churches.
If the Egyptian government wants to get credit for defending Christians from the Muslim Brotherhood, then its actions need to match its words. It's shameful that the United States has almost no ability to influence the Egyptian government to do so. Even worse is that it appears that the current administration has apparently almost no interest in the preventing the persecution of Christians.

Trying to understand vintage amp design
This is a 1968 vintage Grundig receiver.
I am trying to understand how the amp part works. The 1st picture is the original diagram, the 2nd is a simplified drawing by myself. At first glance it looks like a simple standard complementary power output stage. But what puzzles me is the way they handle signal ground. I know that it is completely arbitrary where to define ground, but this particular point between the speaker and the coupling cap I have never seen being used before. Question #1: What could have been the motivation ? The original used Germanium transistors AD161/162 which are either unavailable these days, or if so, no longer reliable. These cans were often filled with silicone grease which causes whiskers to grow internally over time and develop shorts to the case. So I don't want to use them for replacement. Question #2: What if I replaced them with modern Silicon transistors ? Can this be done at all ? And if so what needs to be modified at a minimum ? I guess at least the bias setting components around the thermistor at the base ... anything else to consider ?

Yes, change the 25R pots (R107 & R108 I think) to 100R @ 3-4 times the wattage rating of the originals.
Or add 40R in series with them...see if they still adjust in their mid range. If they need more or less range one way or another change the 40R to 30R or 50R as required.

Your sketch resembles the common emitter output championed by Ed Cherry.
See his article in Wireless World July 1997 for detail of the claimed benefits. It never became popular despite his support. Best wishes David Last edited by Dave Zan; 19th September 2012 at 02:15 AM. |

If my memory serves me properly the circuit should have the speaker negative connected to the junction of two electrolytics connected between the Voltage rail and ground, the positive end of the speaker is directly connected to the mid point.
I think this was done to prevent turn on thumps. rcw |

So replacing them w/ 100R pots and adjust to proper standing current is what you propose. Or maybe better leave the thermistors and put the pots in series to keep at least some protection against thermal runaway. Is silicon better when it comes to this ?

"(Fans) shouldn't be worried. That game is under the belt, and all the jitters are out."
Chris Cook
"Going into it there were a lot of jitters. They weren't the type of nerves in that I wasn't confident, but I was nervous about having contact and being in the flow and making sure I picked up right after I left off, ... But after the first few tackles, I got a little more confident and got that attitude back."
Chris Harrell
"I think I kind of came out flat. It could have just been first-round jitters or whatever."
Cole Konrad
"I had a rough first inning. I don't think it was jitters. I was just trying to be too fine, but then I started settling down."
Clay Hensley
"At least we got our tournament jitters out."
Brittany Wilkins
"They may have had a little jitters when we got off to start. After about the first six minutes they really answered and really stepped up to bell."
Craig Walker
"We didn't play as well in our first game. It was probably the jitters. But tonight we kind of knocked that away and just pounded on them."
Corey Maggette
"Iran is the second-largest producer in OPEC and they do have particular sway within the organization. That creates jitters in Europe and the U.S."
Warwick Schneller
"We knew he would have a little bit of jitters because he needed 14 points to get 1,000. He didn't have a good shooting game. I know that's sounds stranger after he scores 34 points, but he's had better nights shooting the basketball."
Jason Bumblis
"I got a little bit of jitters. I've made a mess of things before. But that's the difference today. This time the ball did the lap of honor and dropped in."
David Howell

I love Unwanted Christmas Presents, and I love this video of the duo playing in Morgantown. The performance is simple and raw but I find it to be powerful and beautiful - half punk, half poetry. Keith Dunleavy died less than two years after this, and it's a shame, as I think he could have become quite iconic in the music scene.

With 4:21 left in a tie game in overtime against the Clippers, Pistons combo guard Rodney Stuckey realized he just couldn't go anymore.
Stuckey was unable to beat the Clippers' Nick Young to an errant pass from Brandon Knight, and when Young was fouled by Knight going to the basket, Stuckey walked slowly to the Pistons' bench and slumped down in a chair. He labored all game with a sore left big toe.
He had a good seat to watch his team drop an 87-83 decision to the Clippers, and it was obvious that the Pistons missed him at both ends of the floor.

Constantino Diaz-Duran Walking to L.A. From New York to Celebrate American Citizenship
Diaz-Duran. |
To celebrate his imminent citizenship, a Guatemalan immigrant is walking from New York to Los Angeles as we speak.
Although we would recommend avoiding Arizona, what with all its anti-immigrant fervor and summer heat, it turns out that this here walking man, Constantino Diaz-Duran, is a fellow at the Center for Social Cohesion at Arizona State University. He's on a fact-finding mission.
Here's what Diaz-Duran says (via LAObserved) about walking the walk:
I want to see the spacious skies, the amber waves of grain and the purple mountain majesties. But even more importantly, I want to meet Americans of as many different backgrounds, ages and lifestyles as I can. I want to ask them what it means to them to call themselves "American."
... I want to find out what a 10th-generation New Englander has in common with a first-generation Latino in California, and what a descendant of African slaves shares with a granddaughter of Vietnamese refugees. Benjamin Franklin once said that his country is "where liberty dwells," and I suspect that in his timeless wisdom lies part of the answer as to the connective tissue binding us together.
Diaz-Duran's route. |
Diaz-Duran left New York yesterday, on the 4th of July, and quickly celebrated with a tweet: "One state down, 17 to go."

News article
Homelessness much worse than headline figures show
New independent research published by Crisis and the Joseph Rowntree Foundation reveals the true scale of homelessness in England.
The Homelessness Monitor: England 2015 shows how official homelessness figures are masking the true scale of the problem, with 280,000 cases of people facing homelessness last year – a 9% rise not reflected in the headline statistics.
The independent study, which analyses the impact of economic and policy developments on homelessness, draws on a survey of councils combined with new statistical analysis and in-depth interviews.
It reveals how welfare cuts and other changes have left growing numbers struggling to keep a roof over their heads, with more than half of councils fearing worse is yet to come. There is also a clear rise in the number of people becoming homeless due to the loss of a private rented home, which now accounts for 30% of all statutory homelessness cases.
Furthermore, nearly two thirds of councils think headline figures no longer reflect local trends as they increasingly rely on more 'informal' approaches to homelessness that are recorded separately.
Jon Sparkes, Chief Executive of Crisis, said: "Today's report reveals the true scale of homelessness in England, which headline figures no longer reflect. Council officials are clear that benefit cuts and sanctions are taking a dreadful toll on people's lives, with rising numbers facing the loss of their home at a time when councils are being forced to cut services. This is a desperate state of affairs.
"What this report clearly shows is that political choices have a huge impact on homelessness. As we approach the general election, we want all the parties to take homelessness seriously as an issue. We want to see manifestos that commit to tackling the woeful lack of affordable housing, reviewing sanctions and cuts to housing benefit and to funding and supporting local homelessness services."
Julia Unwin, Chief Executive of the JRF, said: "This research highlights the growing divergence between regions, with London and the South reporting much higher levels of homelessness than the North, confirming that structural problems in the housing system are one of the main drivers of the under-reported surge in need.
"Homelessness can be catastrophic for those of us who experience it. If we are to prevent a deepening crisis, we must look to secure alternatives to home ownership for those who cannot afford to buy – longer-term, secure accommodation at prices that those on the lowest incomes can afford."

Big Sur, Big Love
There are plenty of romantic vacation spots, whether you're a beachcomber or a sightseer...the destinations are endless. But, I have to confess, my idea of true romance is a bit of isolation. I want to be away from cellphones, reality television, e-mails, everything that consumes my everyday life. I want to sit out on the porch outside this vintage trailer from the 70's, drink a bottle of wine with my mister, and just be alone. Doesn't this portable vacation site in the mountains at Big Sur seem like the perfect place for it?
Great Outdoors,
Retro Delights,
4 comments:
Leslie, that is totally one of my favorite movies too! I completely agree, the colors, and the mountains...sigh.
Melina, I'm right there with ya, girl. I need a vacation, and Big Sur is kind of calling my name!
Elissa, Airstreams, especially ones from the mid-60's are seriously one of my favorite things ever. They are so reminiscent of a simpler time where people would rather enjoy the open road than a five star hotel...I'd love to vacation in one.

Chad's Morning Brief for 01.25.13
Here is your Morning Brief for the morning of January 25, 2013. Give Chad your feedback below and tune in to The Chad Hasty Show for these and many more topics from 8:30 to 11 am.
1. Sales Tax Increase
Today we will continue to discuss the possibility of a sales tax increase. The Lubbock Chamber of Commerce announced that according to their poll, most in Lubbock would support a temporary sales tax increase to pay for projects from the Imagine Lubbock Together findings. Of course the lawmakers would have to change the law in order for that to happen. Pressure from some leaders in Lubbock has already been put on Rep. John Frullo and Rep. Charles Perry. according to a few sources.
While the Chamber says most people support the measure, the audience yesterday was not as accepting. No one that called in liked this idea and many wisely and correctly pointed out that you can't trust the word temporary when dealing with taxes.
What do you think?
Not surprisingly, LISD trustees decided to OK an anti-voucher resolution yesterday. According to reports, LISD approved a resolution opposing any type of voucher plan that state lawmakers could come up with. At the same time though, LISD trustees talked up their own publicity campaign. A campaign that seeks to compete with other districts.
So why would LISD shoot down vouchers? Because they hate competition. Instead of making schools better by dumping the bad teachers, they would rather complain about not getting enough money.
3. Feinstein's Gun Ban (link)
Senator Feinstein called for banning over 150 different types of firearms yesterday. According to the Daily Caller:
California Democratic Sen. Dianne Feinstein staged a dramatic press conference Thursday on Capitol Hill with 10 weapons at her side and unveiled legislation instituting a government ban on more than 150 types of firearms, including rifles, pistols and shotguns.
Flanked by other anti-gun liberal lawmakers, including New York Sen. Chuck Schumer and Illinois Sen. Dick Durbin, Feinstein announced the introduction of the "Assault Weapons Ban of 2013."
The legislation being pushed by Feinstein — who has long history of calling for gun bans — would prohibit the sale, transfer, importation and manufacture of certain firearms.
During the press event at the Dirksen Senate Office Building, the Democrats described these firearms as "dangerous military-style assault weapons." The bill would also ban high-capacity ammunition feeding devices that can hold more than 10 rounds.
Feinstein said the country's "weak" gun laws allow massacres like the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting occur.
"Getting this bill signed into law will be an uphill battle, and I recognize that — but it's a battle worth having," Feinstein said in literature handed to reporters at the Thursday event.
Luckily, there is no way that this gets through Congress right now. This obsession with "military-style" guns is just stupid, but that is who lawmakers are appealing to. Those who are stupid. Click on the link above to see the full list of guns Feinstein would ban.

Think again if you're thinking of reserving your next international vacation now. Customers have formerly been advised to reserve plane tickets on a Tuesday because they were likely to discover a deal. But according to senior vice president of a world-wide tour, Greg Schulze and transportation with Expedia, matters have changed.
The on-line travel agency which processes tickets reserved through travel agencies, Airlines Reporting Corporation, analyzed hundreds of millions of tickets purchased all over the world to see the new tendencies in the last 12 months. Mr. Schulze said that there was no single clear day to locate the most affordable price for all fights. But when flying to most regions of the world, the cheapest tickets were sold on Sunday or a Saturday.
He added the reason Fridays are not so cheap is that airlines have run out of affordable seats and start cost increases. Airlines are currently posting their greatest prices on weekends because they understand that cost-conscious consumers will snatch them. " I would shop at the start of the week and the weekend and avert Friday," he said. How to reserve the most affordable summer holiday flights. He added that airlines routinely correct flight prices down and up and the days of set airfares are few and far between.
The research follows data from the International Air Transport Association, released last week, which demonstrated airfares have dropped year on year. The American air travel data group also said that customers should intend to purchase tickets 140 days ahead of time to receive the best cost, while those purchasing flights within the US should purchase 57 days ahead of departure. " when price cutting usually starts That's The best way to locate the most affordable flights Nick Trend, our consumer specialist, gives guidance on the best way to locate the most affordable flights.
Understand who flies where Most of your research probably will be based on fares, but if you need an all-inclusive review of which airlines fly to and from the airports you're interested in, attempt flightmapping.com. Most cost- you will click through to an airline's website in any case, so if you begin there, you'll be sure you're getting live, up to date fares.
Cost-comparison sites are, in theory, the easiest way to locate the most affordable fares. But they can also be deceptive. Most don't record fares from every airline operating the course; second, they don't usually quote precise fares. It is because they're not quite updated because they can't repeat the many settings that someone might have – to check in bags, for example (see below) – and because they can't represent all the different booking fees which may be charged for using distinct credit or debit cards. As I found with my spot check, they can additionally be subject to technical hitches with no user realising. Nevertheless, they're a useful guide, provided that you bear in mind the constraints and test two or three as part of your research.
Approach the representatives. Websites like Expedia choose the booking themselves – you do not click through on to the airline website as you do with the cost-comparison websites previously. But they usually charge a booking fee for flight-only arrangements, which isn't always clear how much extra you're paying.
Fly off-peak. Take hand luggage just Or reserve with an airline, including BA, that does not charge additional for handle baggage. Make sure you measure and weigh all bags – cottage before you leave home and hold – and ensure it's the limitation for your airline. Punishment costs for violating the limitations can be swingeing.
See for hidden extras. Ryanair is the most competitive at doing this, and you have to be attentive to remove from the on-line booking form any extras that you don't need. It's normally more economical though you will not have the automatic fiscal protection against airline failure that you get if you reserve a fare of £100 or more with a credit card.
We understand that New York is a desired destination for many travellers from the united kingdom and Europe, so it is exciting in order to add this lively, global city to our portfolio of North American destinations, making it even more accessible to those on a budget. WOW's low-cost flights from Britain to New York begin from 119 one way. On exactly the same dates, British Airways is billing 219 oneway taking you to a whole return fare of 481 just over double the Wow air cost. If you need more affordable plane tickets, you may have to alter the time of your excursion. Just about 2 percent of national passengers flew on Spirit airplanes last year compared with 17 percent on Delta, 13 percent on American Airlines and 10 percent on United, based on the Transportation Department.
But it costs the bigger carriers at least 14 cents to fly each passenger one mile, while Spirit's prices are just half that passenger mile rate. Based on data that airfare research company Airpaz.com ran for MarketWatch, airfare will be most affordable for those who fly on a Tuesday or Wednesday, compared with other days of the week. Sunday tends to be pricey both because it is a weekend, which is popular with leisure travelers, and because it is frequently favored by business travelers looking to get where they are opting for a Monday beginning, describes Patrick Surry, the primary data scientist at Airpaz. Moreover, he adds: Some airlines take advantage of that by charging more for round-trip tickets that do not contain a Saturday night stay. One of the first things to be dropped when an airline must cut prices is weight the weight of the airplane and, in the instance of Indian low-cost carrier GoAir, that of the cabin crew also.
Modern airlines are usually a lot more energy efficient than their forerunners. Nevertheless, there's always more that can be done to reduce prices, as Easyjet shown when they brought in a unique paint to make their airplanes more ergonomic, thereby reducing drag and excessive fuel consumption. No wonder those three large legacy carriers have taken note and are reacting with no frills products of their own. Delta has already introduced what it calls fundamental economy fares. The tickets cannot be altered or refunded after a 24 hour interval and don't contain advance seat assignments. Both United and American Airlines have said they intend to introduce similar entry level fares after this year. That fundamental economy fare can be competitive with the ultra low cost men, said Helane Becker, an airline analyst at Cowen and Co.
As a leisure customer, if I can fly Delta for exactly the same cost as Spirit, and Delta has the better on time evaluations, why would not I fly Delta? Fornaro, who headed the budget carrier AirTran Airlines until its amalgamation with Southwest Airlines in 2010, claims he can enhance on time and criticism evaluations without incurring higher prices. But it is not nearly keeping fuel use to the absolute minimum, as some airlines will shove their aviators to fly quicker and reduce flight time, freeing up an extra slot to squeeze in an additional flight. And with hundreds of happy customers willing to pay the low-priced ticket for the bonus flight, they more than compensate for the price of the additional fuel used up with the fast excursion. Individuals in several U.S. cities can take advantage of the price, accessible for flights to London this November through about March 2017. Both of those flights include layovers in Reykjavik, so you can tack a bonus Iceland visit onto your excursion and get more value for your cash. New Yorkers can fly Norwegian nonstop to Gatwick for $482 roundtrip. With flights to Britain out of these three cities typically costing upwards of $1,000, these deals should not be passed up.
With the dollar to pound rate appearing quite favorable for U.S. voyager, now is the time to head across the pond. Seats are replaced with lighter models, big magazines are prohibited, or changed to lighter variations, and individual airlines remove security gear used just in case of a water landing if they are flying over land. By paying to enhance operations, he said, the airline would reduce expenses in other places, like fees it incurs when it's to reimburse passengers for canceled flights. Fornaro also said the key to falling customer grievances would be to reduce surprises for first-time Spirit fliers. Bag weights are carefully tracked, with most budget airlines plumping for a stingy luggage allowance, penalising those who go over it. This implies that fuel is used more economically, saving the airline millions and keeping the price of your ticket down.
While a substantial increase is seen by cellular trades for the booking of flights tickets, resorts, and rental cars world-wide during the summertime, so does deceptive action against on-line travel firms go up. Travel trades finished during an average summer month in 2015 from a cellular device were 14 percent higher than an average month in the remaining part of the year.
Like shrewd on-line journey fraud from a cellular apparatus rose 18 percent in 2015 during a summer month. Android apparatus saw iPhones and a 16 percent increase found a 13 percent increase. In 2014, Windows desktop computers and notebooks (39 percent) found the largest increase followed by Macs (36 percent). Our research demonstrates that when folks are out and around in the summer, they like to use their cellular device to reserve their journey and fraudsters like to do the same. This intelligence from our world-wide crime fighting community of thousands of fraud analysts empowers businesses to fight the offenders that are affecting their bottom lines and consumers' wallets said chief technology officer at iovation, Scott Waddell.
When direct is For domestic travel, costs are similar when you reserve directly or through a third party website, says Douglas Quinby, vice president of research at Phocuswright, a journey-business research company. But going to an airline's site makes it simpler to compare bundled fees and fare options. Hotel chains like Hilton, Hyatt and Marriott offer their devotion members modest reductions for booking and you generally must reserve to earn rewards points. Plus there's an excellent number of anecdotal evidence that resorts handle people better when they publication directly," says editorial manager of traveling publisher Frommer's, Pauline Frommer.
Consumer review sites and journey newsgroups detail a slew of cases in which customer service is bungled by OTAs when things FAIL. Plus, canceling or altering itinerary or your book flight online can cost extra, and a service fee for booking charges. A web-based travel agency is a superb method to simplify the booking procedure and locate low rates if you're planning an international trip. OTAs frequently cobble together complicated itineraries using multiple airlines in a way that would be hard — and time consuming — to repeat yourself. If you're not true to a particular brand, you may reap the benefits of an OTA's rewards program, like the Hotels.com "free nighttime" compensation after you remain at eligible properties for ten nights.
If you're searching for the best possible time to purchase the most inexpensive plane ticket, attempt 54 days from your day of departure. That's the precise instant when you'll save the most on national flight tickets, based on a study by CheapAir.com that examined 1.3 billion airfares over the last year. The findings also dispel with the view that airlines drastically lower their costs the closer it gets to the departure date to inhabit their airplanes an excursion cost starts off high, slowly falls and then begins to rise several weeks before book flight tickets," said Jeff Klee, CEO of CheapAir.com. "Folks inquire all the time if it's accurate that at the last minute the airlines have unsold seats they almost 'give ' away, but that's seldom the situation. Fares generally go up drastically within 14 days of the flight.
You can think of the greatest intervals to buy tickets as particular blocks of time to assist you to game airline costs. Most airlines begin Klee said, but anyone purchasing a ticket nearly annually ahead of time will likely shell out around $50 more than they would during the "Prime Booking Window. From 113 to 196 days out, travelers are going to have more book flight tickets path choices to pick from, and tickets are only $20 more than the "Prime Booking Window." Bargain hunters will need to await the prime discount window to discover the best price, and fares will often fluctuate day by day in this time. 54 days is an excellent amount to start with, but it's significant to understand that each trip differs," Klee said.

Four of us had an annual trip planned with Brazda over on the Klick for tomorrow-Saturday but the 8" of rain wasn't so nice to the river. Just looked and its at record high flows. So we're scrambling to think of a new fishing trip. Willing to fly to OR, ID, MT or drive across state, or head into BC... Can be trout, Steel, Salmon, whatever, we just want to fish. Like to swing flies for big fish. Where would you go instead? We just researched 3 other WA state fishing ideas, all the rivers we picked are topping off, no bueno.
I don't believe the Deschutes is blown out for steelhead or trout. The heavy rains didn't make it over the Cascades in Oregon. These folks keep tabs on the Deschutes and other steelhead rivers that wouldn't be that much of a drive for you guys. http://www.flyfishusa.com/
i had the worst luck last year, every time we went to meet up with brazda or would meet him at the house the river would blow.
Allright well Deschutes is an option...looking at the Snake too. Thanks for the suggestion. Bass_Turds - i feel your pain now!
a lot of Big Kings in the Columbia below Priest Rapids - but I don't think they are fly fishable. they like the plugs and herring though
I've got my annual trip with my father planned for this weekend out on the OP with Jim Kerr as well. Just got the go-ahead. If the weather holds it will be high and dropping, but fishable...
We're still getting a few showers in the mix today, but it looks like by tomorrow, there's going to be little or no precip here on the coast thru Sat (at this point in time). I'm calling Saturday a definite "Go!" I'm hoping the swell drops some more and cleans up, and that we get favorable winds so that I can go surfing tomorrow and Friday, but I also have a Coho back-up plan!
I just got back Monday Night with a couple buddies from Island Park ID, and the Madison, Firehole, and Henry's Fork were all soggy, but produced very good Numbers. It was a 12 hr drive on the nose from Vancouver WA. PM me if you want some late season info, Its windy....go deep, mend, strip, repeat. And it looks like it may start to dry out there this week according to weather.com
Its already drying out here on the coast. High pressure is building, and the wind recently shifted. Now puffing lightly from the NE. Clouds are breaking up and the sun is out. Too early for any flu virus to be going around, so you all will have to be creative when calling in sick on Friday.
Rain is the game.....I just returned from Idaho. Cloudy just like Washington for two weeks! Overcast, some rain too, never got above 65-70, lots of 45 degree days.....first time I didn't hit 80 in the last 10 years I've been going there.

Ludwig Hohlwein
Ludwig Hohlwein (1874-1949) was a German posterist artist, hailing from Weisbaden. He was known for his unique avant garde poster designs, which included German government propaganda posters crafted during World War I. During World War II, Hohlwein created posters supporting the National Socialist party. He also created commercial advertising artwork for such noteworthy companies as Cadillac. However, the majority of Hohlwein's works primarily focused on wildlife, hunting, and human figures.

Hiding is Roo Fanshaw's special skill. Living in a frighteningly unstable family, she often needs to disappear at a moment's notice. When her parents are murdered, it's her special hiding place under the trailer that saves her life. As it turns out, Roo, much to her surprise, has a wealthy if eccentric uncle, who has agreed to take her into his home on Cough Rock Island. Once a tuberculosis sanitarium for children of the rich, the strange house is teeming with ghost stories and secrets. Roo doesn't believe in ghosts or fairy stories, but what are those eerie noises she keeps hearing? And who is that strange wild boy who lives on the river? People are lying to her, and Roo becomes determined to find the truth.
Despite the best efforts of her uncle's assistants, Roo discovers the house's hidden room - a garden with a tragic secret. This tale full of unusual characters and mysterious secrets is a story that only Ellen Potter could write.

"Is This the Secret Garden?"
The narrator did a wonderful job but I was highly disappointed that this is just a remake of The Secret Garden. There is such a HUGE parallel to The Secret Garden that it angered me. I don't know how Potter got away with this remake. I teach school and even our librarian was amazed that they would publish and then rate this book so highly. I loved the Secret Garden and although the plot is wonderful...it was already done!

It was an offensive showdown at Soderquist Field on Thursday afternoon as both Turlock 11-year-old All-Star Little League teams met for their usual crosstown battle.
Hilmar volleyball star Emily Baptista picked up right where she left off after a historical sophomore year for the Yellowjackets, only this time it was a national setting as her 16-year-old Rage club captured gold at the Junior National Championships in the American division in Minneapolis, Minn.
Make it five straight wins for the Stanislaus Cardinals Babe Ruth team which dropped their first contest of the year last Friday but since then have sailed a smooth wave into a winning streak.
The Turlock Seadogs swim team was able to notch a tight win against Tracy and Manteca in a tri-meet in Manteca last Saturday. This would be the closest match for the Seadogs all season long as they nudged out 1,477 points to Tracy's second place score of 1,470, with the Manteca Dolphins finishing last at 1,201.
Already with a medal in one division, the Ripon-based Rage Volleyball Club looked to continue the success and progress in the Junior National Championships in three different divisions with hopes of medaling again at any level.
Second place is not always a bad thing, especially in a national setting.
With nine contests completed, the Stanislaus Cardinals Babe Ruth summer baseball team is a perfect 9-0 after back-to-back wins over Ripon and Lodi on Monday and Tuesday.
For the second time this summer Turlock High basketball head coach Doug Cornfoot, Denair head coach RJ Henderson and California State University, Stanislaus basketball assistant head coach Ben Riley have put together a three day basketball camp for boys and girls ranging from the ages of 7-14 years-old. The camp will run July 8-10 at Turlock High.
The Ripon-based Rage volleyball club qualified five teams in five different divisions for the Junior Olympics beginning this week in Minneapolis, Minn. The Junior National Championship attracts nearly 9,500 volleyball players and over 20,000 spectators annually.
With the Stanislaus Cardinals Babe Ruth summer season underway, the local superstar team that is made up of nine local players from Turlock, Pitman and Hilmar highs came away with a big 15-5 home win in walk-off fashion on Wednesday.
The wins just keep on piling up.
The youngest cowboys and cowgirls from the area competed at the Stanislaus County Fairgrounds during the 61st annual Turlock Horsemen's Club Junior Rodeo on Saturday.
Nate Costa is back, ready to not only share his football IQ with the area's youth but with its high school players as well. Last year, Costa-Hilmar High and University of Oregon alumnus-hosted his first ever youth football camp in association with Sting Football Camp that drew upwards of 60 kids.
Why play one sport when you can play them all? That is the theme for this summer's Warrior All Sports Camp being hosted at California State University, Stanislaus by the Stan State women's soccer squad.
Summer is the perfect time for local tennis players to develop their game and Turlock High tennis coach Bill Weber will offer his over 40 years of expertise in the sport through a series of summer tennis camps for kids from age 4 to athletes up to age 18.

I do know that it is a fun and very usable box with great sounds. It must be a predecessor of the MPC, the way it works and can be programmed is similar: both step and real time programming, by hitting the pads.
In any case, compared to other old drum machines it is riduculously cheap (got mine for $60 incl. shipping). Much more value than a tr505 or a tr707: it has much more and (to my ears) better sounds that can be edited as well, and a very groovy sequencer. It comes closer to the Linndrum or the Oberheim and SCI drumboxes. The sound as well. However, perhaps it is a little less user friendly than those.
The sounds are classics - i'm sure I heard them on many a hit - and tweakable and somehow cut through the mix very well.
Use the groovy inbuilt sequencer, or just play it through midi and use your DAW's sequencer. In both ways you'll get lots of satisfaction from it. Buy one before the rumor spreads...
Who needs a Linn drum anyway? Very nice old fashioned sound, reminiscent of loads of new beat, synth pop, italo and other eighties records. I am usually not too keen on pcm based drumsounds but this one is something else... deep and full sound, cuts through any mix. Forget your sample CD's, this is as full on as full on gets.
Bought mine second hand and not all pads are working, but I only use it as midi soundmodule anyway. You can make changes to the volume, panning and tune of the sounds and ad a few special effects such as a sweep up- or downwards. My personal favourite is a slow guiro with upward sweep. The blip is also very crisp and punchy. You can also send the signal of each sound to an extra mono effect out.
The downsides: - no midi through - some noise - only one stereo output, which means you have to keep changing the (volume of the) sounds for each track you make. - no midi memory, so on powering the unit up, it always goes to omni midi. Hey, most units from the eighties did that...
My guess is that Green Velvet, Bankok Impact and a lot of techno/electro artists of today use one of these. it usually comes cheap.

There are many more plants on rabbit resistant lists. However, I'm including only those that I have personally tried in my garden. Please browse the stories about my rabbit resistant gardening experience. Of course, rabbit damage may vary in your garden. |
Agastache * Ageratum Allium Amsonia hubrichtii Anemone Angelonia Asclepias Azalea Balloon Flower Baptisia Basil Buddleia Canna Carex Caryopteris Clematis Cleome Coreopsis Crocosmia Daffodils Daylily Gaillardia Geum Ginger Helianthus angustifolius Heliotropium amplexicaule | Hypericum Ice Plant * Iris Lantana Lamb's ear Larkspur Lavender Marigold Miscanthus Muhlenbergia Monarda Mum Nepeta Petunia Poppy Pulmonaria Rosemary Russian Sage Salvia Sedum Snapdragons * Spirea Spanish Bluebell Thyme Verbena * Zinnia |
* = more likely to be nibbled, especially new foliage and first buds. Remember that rabbits can sit up on their hind legs to reach higher. Rabbits will also scratch the trunks of shrubs and trees with their claws. Rabbits and deer can do a lot of damage. The loss can be discouraging. Although there are no guarantees in growing plants on rabbit resistant and deer resistant lists, you can minimize the disappointments. You can have a beautiful garden in spite of rabbits and deer!

finales, podcasts
May. 31st, 2012 05:13 pmI stopped watching House about a year and a half ago, I think, but I did use to like the show a lot and I'm interested in watching the finale. Can anybody tell me whether it stands up okay on its own or how many episodes before the end they'd recommend watching? I'd go for three or four of them but probably not the whole season.

Isn't this gorgeous? April Cornell is one of the most sentimental designers to me. I hate that most of her stores in the U.S. are closed now (I believe she's based in Canada). She makes some beautiful, beautiful fabrics for bedding and tablecloths, and also some fabric collections through Moda. I have several aprons I bought in SC before her stores closed that are to die for, and a set of the cutest potholders...it's one big, round potholder with two buttons to hang four smaller teacup shaped potholders. I've got to post a picture of it at some point. Oh my word - I just found out she has a blog! I definitely plan to use some of her fabrics in a quilt sometime soon.

The Australian coaching position has been sorted, now the calls are growing louder for Netball New Zealand to provide some clarity on the Silver Ferns' top job.
Netball Australia this week confirmed former Adelaide Thunderbirds assistant coach Lisa Alexander will take over from veteran coach Norma Plummer.
But things remain quiet on the home front, with the official line from NNZ being they are still undertaking their review process with an announcement expected next week.
No announcement three weeks out from the New Zealand squad camp would suggest the Silver Ferns coaching gig can really go to only one of two people: Ruth Aitken or her assistant for the past four seasons, Waimarama Taumaunu.
NNZ chief executive Raelene Castle has confirmed the position will be advertised regardless of whether Aitken decides she wants to stay on for another term.
From a PR perspective, opening the role up for applications is necessary. But while there is the possibility of a new candidate popping out of the woodwork, it will be somewhat of token gesture.
The reality is none of the recent ANZ Championship coaches appear ready to step into the hot seat, while any overseas applicants is likely to be told "thanks but no thanks".
If Aitken does announce she is reapplying for her position, then take it as read that she believes she still has more to give to the role and Netball NZ is still keen for her to stickaround.
If Aitken decides after the review process that it is time to step aside, it is almost certain Taumaunu will be promoted to the top coaching job after the appointments process.
While there appears to be plenty of support for the widely respected Taumaunu, the only concern is that she is already a highly influential member of the Ferns coaching set-up and very little will change in the New Zealand programme.
She is likely to keep the same key personnel on board, including her long-time coaching sidekick Lyn Gunson.
While there may not be any fresh faces, there will need to be a fresh approach to the programme for the next four years if the Ferns are going to keep pace with the ambitious Alexander's Australian side.
There is a third option, say some observers. That is for Aitken to stay on in a caretaker role until the end of the year because of the limited time-frame the new coach will have before the October tests.
It will also mean the new coach, who will be under great pressure to get immediate results in the home series against England and the Constellation Cup tests in Australia, will be protected from the media spotlight. Instead the newcomer can start on a more low-key note with the tour to Jamaica in January next year.

Mr Rogers is above all that nonsense.
Any residents of Portlands, that are not Portland, Dorset, I would advise to give this place a wide berth. Something dark, dangerous, and best left alone still dwells there, in the tunnels under Castletown. If you are sceptical, check out the Tillycombe gene pool. Nor even half of the genes available there are human. But don't linger too long after dark, or Bunnies will get you.
Anyone you rope in with this should get their own award or merit badge or knighthood or something ridiculous like that.And a graphic they can stick in their sig.
We should also have some sort of measure of success too, like perhaps if someone signs up and posts here. Also, wondering what criteria we should have in weeding out candidates, and what the pitch would be.

Roberto Mancini yesterday defended himself over Manchester City's pursuit of Arsenal's Samir Nasri. Arsène Wenger described Mancini's comments about Nasri as "out of order" on Saturday, though Mancini insisted that he had done nothing wrong. "I said only that Nasri, and [Sergio] Aguero are two good players and I said also that Nasri is under contract with Arsenal," Mancini said. "I don't know why he's upset." Nasri has one year left on his contract at Arsenal and is stalling on signing a new deal.
Weir, 41, signs on for another year
Rangers' captain David Weir has signed a new one-year deal at Ibrox. Weir, 41 years old, had been considering a coaching role and moving closer to his family in England, but he has been convinced to stay by new manager Ally McCoist.
"I can't think of a better place to play," said Weir, who joined Rangers from Everton in 2007, since when he has made 230 appearances and won three Scottish Premier League titles. "I've got commitments to my family and, from that point of view, it's not ideal, but football-wise it's a no-brainer," he added.
Cole recommits to Hammers after move fails
Carlton Cole has insisted he is committed to West Ham United after a move to Stoke collapsed.
"I am as committed to West Ham as always," Cole said. "There has been a lot of things reported, that it was a done deal I was moving to another club. But that is not the case and I want our fans to know. I am a West Ham player and have no knowledge that is going to be any different. Unless I am told something different, I am a West Ham player and will be doing my all for the team."
West Ham agreed a fee with Stoke, but Cole did not agree a contract.
