"Bridging the gap between planing board and light wind longboards, blurring the line between stable entry level boards and progressive freeride boards, the RIO is board that cover the widest scope of user in all wind condition. Its long and wide shape provides plenty of stability of even the most nervous beginners, and also a fast , smooth glide in light winds. For advance rider the longer, narrower shape combined with the in board heel-recesses and soft daggerboard allows the board to power upwind of the leeward rail. As the windspeeds oncreases the RIO's unique wide tail, derived from Formula racing boards, provides the early planing, high speeds and high performance racing fun. Available is three sizes : S 175L, M 195L, and L215L."
Available with a Tushingham Express rig package, which is said to combine superb low-end power with balanced handling to bring larger boards up onto the plane with ease. It's a five batten monofilm design that's perfect for progression, with a high quality 45% carbon Freewave mast and an Aeron Rookie boom.
The RIO is an excellent board for a range of sailor weights. It's a very stable platform, but for absolute beginners the deck isn't quite as forgiving as one that's flat all over. The EVA is very comfortable underfoot, and fine for falling on and hauling yourself back up on the board. The draggerboard operates easily with your hands, but isn't quite as comfortable with bare feet. The RIO tracks upwind really well due to its waterline length, making it easy for beginners to stay upwind and get back to their starting point. It also turns very easily, marking tacking and gybing a simple task even for beginners. The rig package is pretty high quality, with a lightweight carbon mast, a nice boom and a light sail, which is easy to rig and very forgiving on the water, making learning as easy as possible. For the progressing sailor the deck is very well engineered, giving the most comfortable ride out if all of the boards in both the training and placebo straps. It planes relatively well and offers plenty of opportunities for the rider to learn new skills and gain confidence before moving on to their next board. The rig will also last the sailor through their early years, and could easily remain in an intermediate's quiver for some time.
Length - 275cm Width - 80.5cm Volume - 195L Weight - 14kg
A comfortable board for learning the basics and progressing through to the next level, with a rig package that will last quite a few years. Although the deck isn't as comfortable for your first few attempts, you soon get used to it, and you'll be thanking your lucky stars later on when you're getting your feet in those straps.

The Peaks Trail is a chance to conquer seven 900m mountains on one hike across the Oberhof region, the venue for world championships in various winter sports.
Avid walkers can tackle seven 900m summits on the 30km Suhl Peaks Trail in Thuringia. The magnificent seven are Grosser Eisenberg (902m), Grosser Finsterberg (944m), Fichtenkopf (944m), Sachsenstein (915m), Schneekopf (978m), Rosenkopf (939m) and Grosser Beerberg (982m) – an exciting prospect for walkers who love a challenge. Hiking along the main wooded ridge of the Thuringian mountains has much to recommend it: stunning views, rocky crags, flower-filled meadows, crystal-clear springs and places to grab a bite to eat along the way. The Suhl Peaks Trail is a fantastic way to get close to nature. Less than 2 per cent of the track is surfaced with asphalt, so it's gentler on the feet. It also makes the trail much more interesting, because you don't have to worry about monotonous stretches of forest road. On the summit of the Schneekopf – which was a restricted military area until 1990 – a broad mountain plateau has been restored to its natural splendour, offering fabulous views in all directions. Unlike other peaks in Germany, the Schneekopf is completely undeveloped and is covered by one of the last remaining highland moors in Thuringia.
Tip: Luge run in Oberhof
The 1,354m luge run in the Oberhof winter sports centre hosts numerous international competitions. Visitors can have a go on the artificial run all year round.

Apartment well located, bright, cozy, maybe something small master bath
Apartamento bien situado , mucha luz , acogedor , quizá algo pequeño el baño principal
Perfect stay, very friendly i Andrei helpful canviar had to check-in time and there was no problem.
The clean, tidy and comfortable apartment.
A small "but": the large beds are not very comfortable.
For the rest we were soon sorry but I repeat clear.
Estancia perfecta, Andrei muy amable i servicial, tuvimos que canviar la hora de entrada y no hubo ningun problema.
El apartamento limpio, ordenado y confortable.
Un pequeño "pero" : las camas grandes no son muy comodas.
Por lo demas lástima que estuvimos poco tiempo pero tengo claro que repetiremos.
great location x visit barcelona.
lack of cleaning and cooking opzinal x
ottima posizione x visitare barcellona.
mancanza di pulizia e di opzinal x cucinare
The apartment is immaculate. The only drawback are the windows give carrer d q arago that are poorly insulated and you hear too much traffic at night. The rest as I said perfect
El apartamento está impecable. El único inconveniente son las ventanas q dan a carrer d arago que están mal aisladas y se escucha demasiado el tráfico por la noche. El resto como ya he dicho perfecto
All around, we stayed at 8 people. Apartment clean,
it was not a comfort not know how, but not the point. Everything flats should have been, fully equipped kitchen etc. Nice, specific owner.
Cool location, close to the metro station Urgell (100 m). I would recommend!
Wszystko ok, mieszkaliśmy w 8 osób. Mieszkanie czyste,
nie był to komfort nie wiadomo jaki, ale nie o to chodzi. Wszystko co mieszkanie powinno mieć było, wyposażona kuchnia itd. Miły, konkretny właściciel.
Fajna lokalizacja, blisko do stacji metra Urgell (100 m). Polecam !
Good and clean place to stay, close to old town.
We (a group of three women) stayed in the apartment for five nights. With two bedrooms and two bathrooms, there was plenty of space. We found the apartment exactly as presented in the photos on Wimdu. The terrace with view of the Sagrada Familia was particularly nice. The rooms were all very clean. The communication with the hosts was always easy and friendly, replies to our questions were sent almost immediately.
The only point of criticism is the rather poor equipment of the kitchen with dishes and cutlery. Though the apartment could easily host four people, there were only three big plates and three knifes.
Wir geben gerne vier Sterne. Die hat sich die Unterkunft hauptsächlich wegen der tollen Lage verdient.
Vom Balkon zur re Seite die Sagrada und zur li Seite San Pau. Die Straße ist praktisch eine ruhige Fußgängerzone mit tollen Lokalitäten. Abstriche gibt es bei der Unterkunft, die insbesondere einer Renovierung im Bereich Küche und Bad bedürfen.
Auch die nette Betreuung durch Mario möchte ich hier noch erwähnen.
Die Wohnung war Ideal für uns. Sie war sauber, ist sehr Zentral gelegen und man hat link und rechts vom Balkon einen tollen Ausblick. Recht sieht man die Sagrada de Familia.

So glad to hear he made it through. You are both in my prayers.
Thanks for this post Matt. I had never experienced cold weather hypothermia until a couple of years ago. Similar story shortly after I had read this post in 2011. Dog went lethargic on me and then I remembered this post. Dragged his ass into the blind and was fortunate enough too have a heater in there. He was fine after about 20 minutes. Always use a vest on my dogs now and pay attention to the little signs.

I hope Ace recovered without any serious organ (internal) damage. Neoprene vests help in this situation somewhat.
Thanks for this post.
Having read this, I was able to see the beginning signs in my dog in training last weekend and get him out of the water. Very thankful I was able to ID what was starting to happen and get him out and warmed up before I too was headed to the vet.
How is Ace doing? Keep us posted. Best of luck WOW
too bad. good luck to you
Prayers for you and Ace! Please keep us posted on his progress.
One more person grateful for your story. This was a lesson I could have easily learned the hard way had it not been for now reading this. Thank you brother and God bless!

Hacked up a 3-hour patch to make Python error messages more readable for newbies that haven't grasped case-sensitivity; posted it to comp.lang.python. I doubt it'll go through in its current form, but maybe it'll help the current flamewa^Wdiscussion about case-sensitivity get a little more constructive. I think it's a tribute to Python's simplicity that it's learnable even with error messages like "NameError: Foo". We can do better.
Oh, yeah- I cleaned my apartment too. My chinchillas are frolicing across their newly clean floor.
Next step: a real release and a better webpage for parsely.

Barton to speak on new world 'disorder,' April 3
Posted March 29, 2002; 03:25 p.m.
Barton, former United Nations deputy high commissioner for refugees, will lecture on "Advancing Hope in the New World Disorder" at 4:30 p.m. Wednesday, April 3, in Bowl 1, Robertson Hall.
Barton is the Frederick Schultz Class of 1951 Professor of Economic Policy and lecturer of public and international affairs at the Woodrow Wilson School. He will discuss the challenges of collapsing states, fratricidal conflicts and massive dislocations that have been chronicled with increasing sophistication the past few years. According to Barton, little attention has been given to recent experiments that hold some promise for redirecting the politics of war-torn lands. He will review some of the ongoing work and suggest changes that are needed for these initiatives to be successful.
In his role with the United Nations from 1999 to 2001, Barton was the second-in-command of the lead global humanitarian organization charged with protecting 22 million uprooted people in more than 130 countries. He served as the director of the Office of Transition Initiatives for the U.S. Agency for International Development from 1994 to 1999, managing humanitarian and development assistance for the Philippines, Rwanda, Bosnia and Haiti.
The lecture is sponsored by the Woodrow Wilson School of Public and International Affairs .

11/1/07 School Library Journal
Featuring a new author and a colorful redesign, these volumes expertly update Larry Dane Brimner's 1998 editions, and also add a title that looks past Pluto into the Kuiper Belt, the Oort Cloud, and the search for extrasolar planets. Each one matches a clearly reasoned, matter-of-fact text to plenty of small but sharply reproduced color photos and pages of new or restated facts, and rounded off with multimedia lists of audience-appropriate further resources. Despite minor bobbles (for instance, Landau assigns the space probe New Horizons different speeds in Pluto and Beyond Pluto), these remain the gold standard for post-picture-book nonfiction, and should be first purchases for any library that serves fledgling readers.

Santa Cruz named World Surfing Reserve
Posted On May 1, 2012 by Guest Blogger
On April 28, 2012, Santa Cruz received international recognition as a World Surfing Reserve– one of only four spots so designated around the globe. Santa Cruz joins Malibu, Manly Beach in Australia and Ericeira in Portugal on the list of honor.
Launched in 2009 by Save the Waves Coalition (based out of Santa Cruz County), National Surfing Reserves (an Australian organization) and the International Surfing Association, World Surfing Reserve's official mission is to "proactively identify, designate and preserve outstanding waves, surf zones and their surrounding environments around the world." World Surfing Reserves are dedicated only after a rigorous nomination and selection process that requires local communities to commit to ongoing monitoring and management, ensuring the surf breaks are protected into the future.
Santa Cruz's application ranked highly on all World Surfing Reserve criteria:

Ramon Dekkers Joins GLORY 3 Rome Commentary Team
- Written by Rian Scalia
GLORY 3 Rome: Final 8 is on Saturday and like GLORY 2 Brussels, Stephen Quadros and Frank Shamrock will be commentating. For GLORY 3 Rome, however, a legend of Muay Thai and kickboxing will be joining them to provide commentary.
The legendary Ramon Dekkers will be in a color commentary role for GLORY 3 Rome. Dekkers had this to say about the fighters in the Final 8:
"These guys are the absolute pinnacle of the stand-up fighting world. GLORY kickboxers in all weight classes are the best of the best and the 70 kilogram division is a prime example of the elite level of skill in the league. These guys are so fast and so technical, but they've got power as well and aggression in spades. It should be an incredible night of fast-paced, hard-hitting action in the ring."
For the full press release, which includes full information on GLORY 3 Rome, including the fight card and how to watch, click Read More.
ROME, Italy (Oct. 29, 2012) – - A living kickboxing legend will provide a deep reservoir of experience for the three-man commentary team that will be calling the action for fight fans around the world at the GLORY 3 Rome 'Final 8'event at the historic PalaLottomatica arena in Rome, Italy on Saturday Nov. 3, live on GloryWorldSeries.com.
Ramon Dekkers blazed a trail for Europeans in the Muay Thai world at a time when it was thought none but native Thais could be successful in the sport and, to this day, if he enters an arena in Thailand, he will receive a standing ovation. Dekkers will provide colour commentary for the live stream and telecast of the event, which will see one 70 kilogram (154 pound) tournament competitor walk away with a tournament grand prize of $300,000.
He will be supported by retired MMA legend and first-ever UFC Middleweight Champion Frank Shamrock, who made his debut as a GLORY commentator last month at the GLORY 2 Brussels event, as well as former PRIDE Fighting Championships and Showtime colour commentator Stephen Quadros.
"These guys are the absolute pinnacle of the stand-up fighting world," said Dekkers. "GLORY kickboxers in all weight classesare the best of the best and the 70 kilogram division is a prime example of the elite level of skill in the league. These guys are so fast and so technical, but they've got power as well and aggression in spades. It should be an incredible night of fast-paced, hard-hitting action in the ring."
The 'Final 8' one-night, single-elimination tournament will bring the inaugural GLORY 70 kilogram Grand Prix to conclusion. The eight fighters were matched by way of a random draw undertaken in Monte Carlo, Monaco last week.
World No. 1 ranked superstar Giorgio "The Doctor" Petrosyan (71-1-2 (1 NC), 33 KO's) of Italy faces the dynamic, hard-hitting Ky Hollenbeck (34-7, 21 KO's) of The U.S. while, in the same tournament bracket, Davit Kiria (18-7, 10 KO's) of Netherlands is matched with Swiss dynamo Shemsi Beqiri (71-7, 31 KO's).
In the second tournament bracket, Robin van Roosmalen (35-13-3, 10 KO's) of Netherlandds battles KO artist Tim Thomas (60-1-9, 35 KO's) of The U.K. and all-time great Albert "The Hurricane" Kraus (66-16-3, 39 KO's) of Netherlands meets 21-year-old fast-rising star Sanny Dahlbeck (24-4, 14 KO's) of Sweden. The victors of the two brackets will face each other in the semifinal tournament round.
In the first of two tournament reserve bouts, Fight of the Year candidate Dzhabar Askerov (73-28-1, 37 KO's) of Russia will take on standout Yoshihiro Sato (49-18, 20 KO's) of Japan while flamboyant, master technician and seasoned star Fabio Pinca (85-17-4, 32 KO's) of France clashes with 20-year-old Alessandro Campagna (29-5, 14 KO's), who has been dubbed one of the world's top prospects.
Both reserve matches will be fought before the Final 8 quarterfinal round tournament matches. Should any victorious fighters be too injured to advance to the next round of the tournament, their spots will be offered to the fighter they had defeated in the previous tournament round. If that fighter cannot continue either, a tournament reserve bout winner will be substituted into the tournament.
In Superfight action on the card, Mustapha Haida (18-1) of Italy will face off with Muay Thai powerhouse Jordan Watson (29-5-1, 14 KO's) of England at 70 kilograms and Marco Re (20-3, 13 KO's) of Italy will collide with the versatile Alka Matewa (43-6-1, 23 KO's) of Belgium at 72.5 kilograms (160 pounds).
The live stream of the GLORY 3 Rome 'Final 8' event will begin on GloryWorldSeries.com at 19:00 CET/2:00 p.m. EST/11:00 a.m. PST with the event's first preliminary bout.

- Amsterdam Mozart Players Sinfonia concertante in E flat
This release can be downloaded via official downloads sites
Mozart composed his first real Sinfonia concertante in 1778, while travelling with his mother via Munich, Augsburg and Mannheim to Paris. It was precisely in these parts that the Sinfonia concertante reigned supreme. Prior to his first venture in the form, Mozart had already completed a concerto for several soloists, namely the Come,-tone in C (KV 190, later renumbered 166b and KV8:186E). The date of the autograph has been identified as "May 31, 1774". The term 'Concertone' could be translated as 'large concerto', or, in other words, a 'concerto' that offers more than is 'normal'. In the first place, we find in this work not only two solo violins, but also a solo oboe and on several occasions even a cello solo. Secondly, the Concertone is composed for a rather larger orchestra, with -aside from the previously named soloists- a second oboe, two horns, two trumpets (undoubtedly accompanied by kettledrums, even if Mozart did not score for them) and a string orchestra. Finally, the Concertone is a 'show piece' of gallant and learned techniques, in the tradition of the Southern German music that Mozart had come to know in Salzburg. In many respects, the Concertone bears clear resemblance to the early symphonies of Joseph Haydn and the concertante works of father Leopold Mozart. However, Mozart may have borrowed the title from the 'concertones' of the Czechoslovakian composer Josef Myslivecek (1737-1781) -well loved in Salzburg- whose work was well known to him. The rather strict Mannheim symphonic style, the Czechoslovakian concertante technique and the elegant Divertimento quality continually seem to flow into one another. It is no coincidence that Leopold Mozart listed the Concertone together with for instance the Hajnermusik (KV 250) and the Lodronische Nachtrnusiken (KV 247 and KV 287). There are many concertante passages in each....

Amsterdam Mozart Players The Amsterdam Mozart Players were founded in 1987 with the special purpose of recording the church sonatas of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. In early 1989, the group was revived with an age eye to the Mozart year of 1991, the two-hundredth anniversary of the death of a composer whom many music lovers consider the greatest of all time. The Amsterdam Mozart Players consist of well-known orchestral musicians (members of orchestras such as the Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra, the Rotterdam Philharmonic Orchestra, and the Radio Chamber Orchestra) as well as prominent free-lance musicians. At full strength, they are a chamber orchestra (15-20 strings and any necessary winds), as an independent wind ensemble (8 winds and double bass if needed) and as an ensemble of soloists (strings one-a-part plus winds).
(...) All four soloists give performances that match the best available, and the orchestra may well be the world's best in this repertoire. (...) In Tune, July/August '93

ORIGINAL: nhturkey
I have recently acquired a winchester model 1300 with the four original chokes and a 24" barrel. I realize every gun ever made is different, but if anyone has had good success coming up wiat a good choke (either original or aftermarket) and load combination for that model it would at least give me a goodstarting point for experimentation with my gun without tieing up thousands of dollars in choke tubes and differnet shell configurations. THANKS!

Amniotic constriction bands are strands of the fluid-filled sac (amniotic sac) that surrounds a baby in the womb. They may cause a congenital (present from birth) deformity of the face, arms, legs, fingers, or toes.
Pseudo-ainhum; Streeter's dysplasia; Amniotic band sequence; Amniotic band syndrome
Amniotic constriction bands are caused by damage to a part of the placenta called the amnion. The placenta carries blood to a baby still growing in the womb. Damage to the placenta can prevent normal growth development.
Damage to the amnion may produce fiber-like bands that can trap parts of the developing baby. These bands reduce blood supply to the areas and cause them to develop abnormally.
Amniotic constriction bands are rare.
The severity of the deformity can vary widely, from only one toe or finger being affected to an entire arm or leg missing or being severely underdeveloped. Symptoms may include:
The health care provider can diagnose this condition during a physical exam. The disease is usually diagnosed at birth.
Treatment widely varies. Often, the deformity is not severe and no treatment is needed. In more serious cases, major surgery may be needed to reconstruct all or part of an arm or leg.
How well the infant does depends on the severity of the disease. Most cases are mild and the outlook for normal function is excellent. More severe cases have more guarded outcomes.
Complications can include complete or partial loss of function of an arm or a leg. Congenital bands affecting the hand often cause the most problems.

It is estimated that at some point in their lives, 50% of American adults will have a diagnosable mental health disorder. In a single year, it will be one in four people. According to a 2004 World Health Organization study, the disease burden of mental health disorders are North America's biggest health problem, ahead of heart disease, lung disease and cancer – combined.
For the last 60 years, one local organization has been on the front lines in the fight against mental health problems. You've heard of taking classes in CPR and First Aid so you can help others who may need medical help. What about a training course for those needing help with a mental illness?
What if you have someone in your family or a longtime friend or co-worker suffering with a mental condition? How do you assist them?
The Local Show takes you into a local class offered at the Bert Nash Center that teaches people the skills to deal with mental health emergencies.
The Bert Nash Center is a non-profit community mental health organization offering a wide range of outpatient mental health services for residents of Douglas County, KS. Founded in 1950, the Bert Nash Center was created in memory of Dr. Bert Nash (1898-1947), a University of Kansas educational psychologist and community leader dedicated to improving the health of Kansas children. Today the Center is a licensed, comprehensive mental health facility committed to providing research-based services to improve the lives of Douglas County residents.
The Center provides a number of outpatient therapy options for adults and children including individual and group therapy and the following services: Anxiety Disorders Clinic; Dialectical Behavior Therapy; Integrated Dual Diagnosis Treatment; and Intensive Outpatient Therapy. In addition, the Center provides community support services for those who are diagnosed with Severe and Persistent Mental Illness (SPMI).
The organization employs psychiatrists, psychologists, nurses, social workers, educators, case managers, employment specialists, and personal attendants along with a small administrative staff. All Bert Nash therapists are professionals trained to assess and treat problems related to mental/emotional/behavioral health. Each therapist at Bert Nash is licensed by the State of Kansas and has earned a masters degree or Ph.D. in social work or psychology.

Film & Discussion: Ecuador - Rainforest vs. Globalization
When Rafael Correa, an established economist, entered politics, he was a man on a mission. Elected as Ecuador's President in 2006, he quickly transformed a country with archaic structures into a social, independent, ecological and participative democracy. Ecuadoreans now have genuine reason to believe that the rigid structures of the past are no longer acceptable and that they have a voice.
From the Yasuni Initiative, by which the country would no longer rely upon the exploitation of its natural oil resources, to the analyzing of the IMF debt structure, hear from Correa and other Ecuadorean leaders as they present alternatives regarding their political, ecological and economic status in the global marketplace and how they will put their people and the planet before profits.

In "Decision Time," Editor Brian Lovett will share a scenario from his 20-plus years hunting turkeys. Each hinges on a critical decision. Post what choice you would have made, and then see how things actually turned out.
Creek-Bottom Combo
The turkey hunting tradition in Alabama runs long and deep, so I'm never surprised when I encounter traditional turkey hunting challenges there.
Pressured birds? Yep. Henned-up gobblers? Sure. Tight-lipped longbeards? Check. A combination of those? You bet.
But let me back up. One hazy afternoon, a friend pointed me toward a food plot at the end of a logging road and wished me luck. I slipped in quietly, set up and was getting ready to yelp when a hen beat me to it. An air-splitting gobble followed.
The gobbler was probably 100 yards away in a thick, nasty creek bottom. The hen was to my right, which meant I was between them. I eased a few yards closer to the gobbler and yelped softly on a slate. He cut me off with a double-gobble, so I readied my gun.
And then the hen yelped again and moved toward the gobbler. The longbeard, in turn, gobbled and moved toward her. I chimed in as much as I could, but I was already a third wheel. Within two minutes, the lovebirds had shut up and moved up the ridge.
No matter. It was close enough to dark that I figured the birds would roost nearby. The next morning, I slipped into where the gobbler had been, found a dandy hide and prepared for action.
Nothing. No gobbling, no drumming, no visuals — zip. The bird couldn't have been far away, but he obviously wasn't in the mood to play. I figured I could wait another hour at the setup just in case or try another area. Patience and subtlety are always good choices in Alabama, but I wasn't so sure that sticking with that setup wasn't a waste of time.
What would you have done? Post your decision below.

The Horror Fiend
Everyone knows at least one Horror Fiend. He's easy to spot: dressed in jeans and a worn T-shirt from some obscure scary movie and sporting a kick-ass tattoo of Freddy battling Pinhead on his forearm. He tries to bait you into arguments about which Jason is the scariest — the one from Part 2 or Part 4? (The answer: Part 2.) Unfortunately for the Fiend, you just don't care. Sure, maybe you liked Paranormal Activity and The Ring, but when he brings up Cannibal Ferox and Slime City, you have no idea what he's talking about. The prospect of buying a gift for this person is a daunting task.
So how do you shop for someone who prefers splatter in their eggnog? Here are some helpful tips:
-Avoid expensive jewelry. Exception: anything used by H.P. Lovecraft to bring ancient demons in to our dimension.
-Anything autographed by someone who killed/was killed in a horror film = good.
-If the item in question is so gory that it makes you want to hurl, it's perfect.
CHEAPA VERY ZOMBIE CHRISTMAS COMIC BOOK I $3.50 | Every Horror Fiend has wondered what Christmas would be like in a world overrun by the undead, and A Very Zombie Christmas is a great way for him to find out. He can spend the holidays the post-apocalyptic way: boarding up the windows, dimming the lights, gassing up the chainsaw, and cuddling up with this cheery holiday yarn. Why Christmas zombies? Hey, just because you die, come back to life, and wander the globe for eternity doesn't mean you can't celebrate Jesus's birthday. This comic delivers three terrifying tales to fill his heart with yuletide fear.
KINDA FANCY CUSTOM HORROR T-SHIRT | $19.95 | Sure, you could buy the Horror Fiend a T-shirt with a plain old scary movie poster silkscreened onto it. But what's the fun in that? He needs something original! Fright Rags goes the extra mile, offering up tees custom-designed with scenes ripped straight from his favorite macabre films. He'll love a shirt with Creepshow's "I've got my cake!" ghoul, or Zombie's splinter-through-the-eyeball scene. And don't forget Aylmer, the adorable cerebrum-munching critter from Brain Damage. One of these babies will have him impressing his friends and grossing out his enemies all year long.
DELUXE EXORCIST GIRL TALKING HEAD PUPPET I $79.99 | This little beaut — which includes a demonic voice module — should provide hours of holiday fun for the Horror Fiend. He can take Exorcist Girl caroling or dress her like Santa to freak out his 10-year-old cousin. And, of course, the Fiend will inevitably attempt his own morbid take on "Dick in a Box": "Creepy Possessed Severed Head Attached to My Arm in a Box." Which goes a little something like this: 1. He entreats his girlfriend to open the "gift." 2. She finds a shrieking, Latin-gibbering manifestation of Satan. 3. If she doesn't projectile-vomit or slap him in the face, he's found his soul mate. Behold the magic of the season!
RIDICULOUS VICTOR CROWLEY FIGURINE | $1600 | Hatchet is a great movie. I love it. You love it. But the Horror Fiend really loves it, and only one gift will suffice: a hyper-detailed 1/4-scale sculpture of the Hatchet killer himself, Victor Crowley. Sure, it costs a small fortune, but this meticulously made, impeccably accurate masterpiece is worth every penny. This baby took roughly 270 hours to create, and it shows: from each deformed bump on Victor's forehead to the Dickies logo stamped on the buttons of his hand-stitched denim overalls. Looks like the Fiend will have to put his autographed Necronomicon in storage to make room in his trophy case — Crowley's going to be the new prized possession of his collection.

Joseph Mallord William Turner (1775-1851) is admired as one of the great watercolourists, for his technique, imaginative response to nature and portrayal of the English and Continental landscape. His life coincided with the new status of watercolour and increase in its exponents.
With the National Gallery of Ireland's broad collection of British works on paper, this exhibition, compared its Turners with some of the fine artists who painted in more traditional ways, while occasionally adopting some of his innovations. Treated thematically, the exhibition considered aspects such as his depiction of buildings and cities, aspirations as an illustrator and landscapist and influence on his contemporaries. The importance of materials was also be examined. An additional 12 works by comparative artists were on view, many for the first time, among them Edward Dayes, Copley Fielding, Samuel Austin and Nicholas Pocock.

Day 5 of the Pacific Asia Curling Championships in Naseby produced mixed results for the New Zealand teams. The Kiwi women scored an important win against Australia to stay in playoff contention, but their male counterparts crashed out of the tournament.
The NUZ Men needed to beat Australia to keep their semi-final hopes alive, but they had a horror game where nothing went right and suffered an embarrassing 8-1 loss.
It all went wrong in the fourth end for New Zealand when looking to hit the side of an opponent's stone and roll in for shot with their final delivery. It was just wide, Australia stole 4 points and didn't look back. From there Australia ensured there were few stones in play, the Kiwis clipped guards when trying to draw behind cover to get back in the match, and the sides shook hands after seven ends.
In the other men's matches China headed Korea 6-4 in a top of the table clash, while Chinese Taipei kept their playoff hopes alive when they overwhelmed Kazakhstan 15-4.
It has been a difficult week for Kazakhstan men, making their first appearance in the Pacific-Asia zone. Alexander Orlov, who has skipped the team for the majority of the week, believes the experience has been valuable.
"It was a great experience this week," he said. "It has shown all of us that the other teams make very few mistakes. You have to play all your stones, if you are not going to do that it will be difficult to pick up more than one point with hammer. But if you have a look at all of our scores, we can score some points, we will learn from this experience and I think we will do better next year."
China and Korea have secured their semi-final slots. Japan, Australia and Chinese Taipei are all in the mix for the other two places in tomorrow's final round.
The New Zealand women have played well through the week, but have had a number of their matches turn on just one shot. The same happened in their match against Japan this morning, when their last draw in the fourth end on lightning-fast ice was just heavy for them to concede a steal of 3.
NZ came back with a surgical takeout to score two in the eighth end, and went into the last end needing to steal one to level the scores. They did everything right to leave the Japanese skip needing a precision tap and roll to win, and she played it perfectly to earn a 7-5 result for her side.
Japan skip Satsuki Fujisawa said after the match, "We got a win today which is important as it makes things a little bit easier for us (having qualified for the play-offs). The fourth end was excellent because we made all of our shots perfectly."
"At the seventh end New Zealand had a very good end but thankfully, in the eighth end, we recovered. New Zealand is a pretty good team, they have been getting better and better throughout this competition and they played very well so it was a hard game today."
In the other women's morning matches, Korea scored a well-executed 4 en route to toppling the previously unbeaten Chinese 8-6, and Australia needed an extra end to beat an injury-depleted Kazakhstan 9-8.
The local side finally earned some reward when they played Australia in the evening round. The Kiwis stole three consecutive ends in the middle of the game, and wrapped up a deserved 9-4 win with 3 points in the ninth end.
New Zealand skip Bridget Becker was understandably pleased after the match. "We played really well in both games today," she said. "It was tough losing on the last stone (to Japan) this morning but tonight we just kept it going and we got the result. So it's onwards and upwards we hope, and we'll see how we go tomorrow."
Japan's women completed a good day with a 6-3 win against Korea, and table-topping China beat the plucky Kazakh side 11-3.
China, Japan and Korea have confirmed their semi-final places with one round to play. New Zealand will earn a tiebreaker against the Aussies for the other spot if they beat Kazakhstan and Korea can topple Australia tomorrow.

No other sporting standouts have done as much to put Sherwood Park on the map as the Ferbey Four.
The curling team of Randy Ferbey, Dave Nedohin, Scott Pfeifer and Marcel Rocque was quite steadfast in informing all those that would listen that they were a Sherwood Park team, not an Edmonton team, as they dominated the sport for most of the early 2000s.
Along with fifth Dan Holowaychuk and coach Brian Moore, the Ferbey Four won the Alberta Championship five times, the Brier Canadian Championship four times and the World Championship three times, in addition to a multitude of other tournament titles and honours.
As a result, the Sherwood sweepers could not have been more deserving of the honour when they were amongst a group of four to go up on the Millennium Place Sports Wall of Recognition earlier this month.
Ferbey, Nedohin and Pfeifer all reside in Sherwood Park and St. Paul native Rocque went to Archbishop Jordan Catholic High School for a year and lived with his aunt so he could curl at a higher level.
The Ferbey Four previously won the county's highest honour, the Mayor's Award, during the 2002 Pride of Strathcona Awards, but it was obvious being permanently enshrined on the Wall of Recognition was something even more special.
"I would like to thank Strathcona County for nominating us for this wonderful award," Ferbey said. "It is an absolute honour to be included on this wall along with these other recipients. As everyone knows, you can't achieve the goals that we did, or any other athlete in sports does, without the support of your family and friends. I've done a few good things in my life, but I've always said the two most important were to marry my wife and move to Sherwood Park. The support we got in Sherwood Park resonates and was second to none. It's a wonderful place to live and to raise a family and I look forward to my kids looking at our picture up on this wall for years to come. Even though they won't admit that and are probably quite embarrassed by it."
Pfeifer said he is very familiar with Millennium Place and is looking forward to getting the added boost from seeing his picture prominently displayed in future visits.
"I moved here about 11 years ago when this facility was being opened and we've experienced how wonderful a place it is over the years," he said. "I remember coming here many times and looking up at this wall and seeing all the people that have had a positive contribution on the county. I can't tell you how honoured I am, and our team is, to be included up here. We still frequent this facility and every time we walk in here it will be neat to look up and be really proud of what we accomplished and think of how much Strathcona County supported us."
Nedohin credited the strength of competitive curling in the region for driving his team forward to national and international success.
"There is an incredible curling community in Sherwood Park and the Edmonton area," he said. "I probably should be thanking Randy Ferbey for letting me curl with him and all of our success, but I'm not. I'm actually going to thank Kevin Martin. That might sound weird, but the curling around here is so good that success inspires other people to be successful. It inspires you to work harder and to commit yourself. Kevin Martin set the bar when this team first came together. We knew he was the team we had to beat and we set our minds to doing everything possible to do that. We were able to do that. We had an incredible run of success and I know that has inspired other teams from the area as well. There are fantastic curlers from Sherwood Park like Olympic medalist Carter Rycroft and world champions like Don Walchuk. The list goes on, and on the women's side as well. Having these pictures on the wall is just going to inspire more people to try and have similar success in their sports."
It was only the second time new names have gone up since the initial 11 inductees in 2001.
Four additional names were added in 2007.

As another calender year is set to turn the page, the curling season builds toward some major events in 2012. The month of January has many exciting events for curling fans to look forward to after another successful year of curling.
As another calender year is set to turn the page, the curling season builds toward some major events in 2012. The month of January has many exciting events for curling fans to look forward to after another successful year of curling.
The 2011 curling season brought us the trial of the five rock rule at the Canadian Open, the second grand slam of the event of the year, to try and create more scoring and excitement in games. The scoring went up but the jury is still out on whether the new rule will be implemented into more events in the future.
Before that experiment, the first two teams into the 2013 Canadian Olympic curling trials were declared at the Canada Cup of Curling. Kevin Martin topped Glenn Howard and continues to have Howard's number in head to head battles. Martin will have the opportunity to play for another Olympic trip in 2014. On the women's side it was Jennifer Jones getting the first spot when she beat fellow Winnipegger Chelsea Carey in the final. The 2013 trials will be held in Winnipeg.
With those events behind us, the focus is on January events which include the beginning of provincial playdowns in Canada and national playdowns all over the world. For provincial updates in Canada follow curling.ca.
Before some of the men's teams get into the provincial championships, the third grand slam of the year hits Dawson Creek, BC beginning January 25th. Mike McEwen and his team will try to win their second straight slam after winning the Canadian Open in December.
The Grand Slam event will have some European teams taking part as they extend their stay in Canada after playing for the Continental Cup in Langley. In a tremendous field, Team World will look to make up for an embarrassing loss last year. The team features the recently crowned European Champions from Scotland skipped by Eve Muirhead. Joining Muirhead will be the team they beat at the Europeans in Sweden's Anette Norberg along with China's Bingyu Wang. On the men's side, European silver medallist Niklas Edin will join Scotland's Tom Brewster and European champion Thomas Ulsrud of Norway.
The team from North America tasked with trying to win in back to back years will be led by World Champion Jeff Stoughton, joined by the team he beat to win last season's Brier, Glenn Howard and from the States will be Pete Fenson. On the women's side of things it will be a Saskatchewan duo representing Canada in Canadian Champion Amber Holland and Stefanie Lawton. Joining them from south of the 49th will be Patti Lank. North America holds a 4-3 record over the World all time.
As we say goodbye to another great year of curling in 2011, 2012 is sure to have more memorable moments in the roaring game. January's busy schedule will help to welcome in the new year, as we watch the rocks fly in 2012.

Those in charge of USA Curling's Sport Education program are taking strides to help novice and elite curlers alike improve curling techniques.
The book is designed to help coaches and athletes gain "world-class knowledge and expertise," according to a press release from USA Curling. The book, which addresses the technical aspect of the sport, is the first in a series of books that will present five core components that are essential for curling success.
"The Five Elements manual from USA Curling Sport Education is the most comprehensive technical manual on the curling delivery ever put together," 2010 Olympian John Benton told USA Curling. "There is no longer one way to throw a curling stone. The truth is that there have been, and always will be, many ways to slide the granite down the sheet. But (co-author and coach) Roger Schmidt figured out that the best curlers, regardless of their delivery type, all had the same five principles or 'elements' in common.
"This manual explains those elements and helps us to understand how to teach and apply them in any situation with any curler. Breaking down the delivery process in this way is a groundbreaking method, which allows for differing ages, genders, and body types to have more immediate success delivering the curling stone. Not to mention that it gives coaches and instructors a common language and method for teaching a delivery to anyone who wants to learn."
In the future, The Five Elements of Curling Techniques also will be used as part of the USA Curling certification program, according to the press release.
The book will be available on Barnes & Noble, Amazon and Google Books. The second part of the series, which will focus on shot-making, will be available in the fall of 2012, according to the press release.
Those wishing to read a preview of the book can do so by visiting usacurl.org.

Moved a lot of deer going into the dry woods , predawn. Hooves pounding the hard dry ground ,and crunching of leaves and snapping twigs as they moved out ahead of me . Being quiet was impossible without getting in the woods 2 hours early and moving like a snail ,,,with no light in hand too. I guess a feller needs some of those high quality hand made moccasins for the entry stage of dry weather hunting .
Didn't hear any birds but did see some old sign . The mast crop is near explosive . Walking the two tracks is like walking on soybeans on concrete . Crunchy and poor footing . No doubt in my mind that turkeys and deer alike are NOT searching for food at this time ,,,,,in southern Ohio anyway .
Early afternoon I went to a different area and strapped on my newly designed prototype GroundHunters Pack. This particular artea is most familiar to me due to so much spring and fall hunting here for the past 6 years . I hit the deer trail that will lead me to the top of the break . Once I cleared the creek and all the ground litter it was cedars the rest of the way . A fine carpet of moss covers the ground making any movement totally silent . 4 - 5 stepps and stop . On this way to where I wanted to be . I hadn't gone 50 yards into the cedars when I found smokin' hot buck scat in the trail . He was walking as he dropped his load . I no doubt had got him up and pushed him out . But , somethings can't be helped and there's plenty of deer in the area
Upon reaching my spot I shucked the pack and got out the pruners for some slow motion trimming of cedar limbs . Then got out the rattlin' horns and grunt call. Flipped the pack upside down and leaned the padded frame against the cedar for a soft seat that will allow me to draw and shoot the 64'' recurve . The steady , but swirling breeze was a bit of a nuisance but I stayed there for two hours , grunting on three ocassions and rattlin' twice . Not hing showed . No surprise to me . It was in the 70's and I suspect the deer were all tucked away in some thicket with shade . But , it was good to be out , as always .To visit the familiar woods that has given so much education and pure fun.
I didn't hunt today due to the stiff winds blowing here . So I repaired some arrows and shot a few also .
This is something new to me ,, that is , being liad off and drawing unemployment in the fall. I was laid off once before ,,,,,28 years ago , when I wore a young mans clothes .

RE:Over Lining
I am watching and learning. It feels exiting to hear guys describing their fishing implements with words like "cadence", "sweet spot", "swordsmen", "loading up the catapult".
Keep it up !
Lurking Bruce
RE:Over Lining
Thanks for the advice and the offer Juro. I'll let you know how I'm casting with the rod, and if it is horrid, you'll be hearing from me.
Does the adage, "It's not the sword, it's the swordsman," come to mind?
~Mark Doogue
RE:Over Lining
One note - the rod does cast well with the deep sea lines from Rio as well as the Cortland QD, etc. These lines are over-loading the rod because they exceed the standard grain rating for 9wt. The head length is shorter and you use less power in the stroke but in effect they are over-lining the rod. My earlier point was that IMHO it's better to get to know the dynamics of the rod before resorting to over-lining a rod that doesn't need it.
RE:Over Lining
Mark -
I would recommend against overlining the RPLXi, especially with full head lines like the clear intermediate 444 from Cortland (a good northern flats line), the mastery steelhead long belly floater (a good singlehand greaseliner choice) or the other good lines that people recommend here. The thing with the RPLXi is that it is a very crisp rod, but not stiff. You need to find the sweet spot and it will do all the work.
When I worked at a fly shop I pushed a lot of RPLXi 9wt rods because I truly believe in the rod, and fish with it. It is not a stiff rod, but it is fast. Many do not separate the two (fast, stiff) - and there is of course a relevance, but a fast rod does not need to be stiff. I hate stiff rods, others love them - so there is the preference thing as well. I like a rod that really loads up but doesn't buckle under the load. Stiff rods don't load well, and take a tool on the appendages - but they can throw (stiffness provides modulus). Soft rods overload and also can't launch the energy (no modulus). To me, a well engineered taper and the internal structure of the blank lets you really feel the cadence of the cast at the loadpoints but when you stop the stroke the energy just rips out of the rod and into the loop. The unloading energy is fast, but the rod is not stiff. That's why I love the RPLXi.
I've been the benefactor of the Sage Pro program and I feel I have the obligation to put my money where my mouth is. I won't call it a lesson but you can count on me working with you to find that natural and easy recoil point that the rod has. Once you do, it's just a matter of loading up the catapault and letting it rip until it hits the block that sends the rock straight, far and true.
You tell me when and I will make time. I'll bring my Rplxi 9'er as well so we can experiment with various lines easier without changing the rod.
There are other rods that transmit the loadpoints more emphatically, for instance mid-flex rods. They are nice for small trout streams but won't cut it in a hard wind, big flies and big fish that 9 wt rods are associated with. Stiff rods do a terrible job of communicating their load dynamics, at least the way I feel my way thru a cast.
I am certainly no expert but I think I can help you find that magic in the rod.
Maybe we will pull off this indoor casting clave afterall! If anyone finds a roller skating rink, a large hall, or a gymnasium in a central location, I think that would deserve a Forum service award (hint hint). Maybe a guided trip from our sponsors? Maybe a killer flats chest pack with hydration system from Prof. Bodkin?
Anyway, didn't mean to digress. Let me know when and I will be happy to see if I can help. I'm sure others will too. I noticed BobP was all smiles with his Rplxi last summer...
Over Lining
I just acquired a Sage RPLXi 9wt and was wondering if a novice like myself would benefit from casting a 10wt line rather than a 9wt one?
I know Juro has the same rod, but was wondering if others had experimented with it as well?

The now infamous incident of
Iraqi journalist Muntadhar al-Zaidi throwing his shoes at President George Bush
became primetime news throughout the world. In the
Shwan Dawdi, editor-in-chief of the Kirkuk-based newspaper Hawal, sent a letter thanking CPJ for its help in overturning his conviction and one-month prison term. "I would like to express ... my thanks and gratitude for your noble and courageous position to defend the freedom of the press and journalists," Dawdi wrote.

Yemeni editor Abdel Karim al-Khaiwani walked out of a Sana'a prison today after being granted a presidential pardon. The outspoken journalist was serving a six-year prison term on what were widely seen as retaliatory antistate charges. Al-Khaiwani, whose case was the focus of a CPJ advocacy campaign, offered his gratitude.
I thank the Committee to Protect Journalists. It had a vital role in standing with me during all stages of the case, and I feel that CPJ had a huge role in the achievement that we gained today.
Bloggers across the Web are showing their solidarity with Mohamed Erraji, a Moroccan blogger who was sentenced to two years in prison last week for "failing to show respect for the king."
A Moroccan court convicted Erraji, 29, a contributor to HesPress, a Moroccan daily news Web site, on Monday in a closed, 10-minute trial. On September 3, Erraji published an article on HesPress criticizing King Mohamed VI for rewarding people who praise him. He was arrested the next day and convicted the day after that, without a defense lawyer. CPJ condemned the court's decision yesterday. Today, the court of appeal in Agadir granted Erraji bail until the appeal is heard. A member of his family told CPJ that he can't predict what will happen, but that the court "might increase or decrease the sentence, or might decide that Mohamed is innocent."
Bloggers have set up Help Erraji, Free Erraji, and Facebook group Free Moroccan Blogger Mohammed Erraji.
Do you believe the free flow of information must be protected? Sign the #RightToReport petition and demand that President Obama immediately:
1. Issue a presidential policy directive prohibiting the hacking and surveillance of journalists and media organizations.
2. Limit aggressive prosecutions that ensnare journalists and intimidate whistleblowers.
3. Prevent the harassment of journalists at the U.S. border.
Or click here to see the full petition, and join leading journalists like Christiane Amanpour, The Guardian's Alan Rusbridger, Editor of the AP Kathleen Carroll, and Arianna Huffington in signing on.

Isaac Jordan carrying on UW wrestling tradition
Dad was two-time NCAA champion at Wisconsin
MADISON - Badger freshman wrestler Isaac Jordan is off to a great start in his college career.
Jordan is a perfect 15-0 to start the season at 157 pounds and is ranked seventh in the country in his weight class, and he's carrying on a family tradition.
His father, Jim, was an All-American and a two-time NCAA champion. Jim Jordan is now a US Congressman from Ohio's fourth district.
Isaac Jordan knew he'd follow in his Dad's footsteps in high school.
"I took one visit to a D1 school and it was Madison- I just knew since I was little," he said.
Even though his Dad is busy with his job in Washington, he still gets to all of his sons meets. "He makes sure to do that," Isaac says.
