A Doctor Who P.S. – Brian gets a letter.
The Doctor Who Fall Season finale had to feature what I called the saddest happy ending every told. If you haven't seen the episode, go watch it right now. One of the saddest things about it, for me, was we never found out if Rory's Dad, Brian, every found out what became of his son and daughter-in-law. Well it turns out that Chris Chibnall wrote a scene that wasn't shot that help resolve Brian's story. If you think you are up for one more cry, watch this animatic, accompanied by Arthur Darvil's reading of the message Rory sends through the … Continue reading

I've loved this CD since I first picked it up months ago, and I'm surprised that it seems to have slipped through the cracks. In a nutshell, it's the latest rock supergroup (or maybe not the latest by this point :)), made up of:
Shawn Mullins: Overall the weakest link of the chain, though still a pretty decent singer-songwriter, a cult favorite who had one hit with "Lullaby" a few years ago;
Pete Droge: An incredibly underrated singer-songwriter (who I suspect was created on Kamino using DNA samples of Tom Petty). Supposedly had a minor hit with "If You Don't Love Me (I'll Kill Myself)," though I've never heard it on the radio. His title track on the "Beautiful Girls" soundtrack made that otherwise pretty meh CD worth getting in the days before downloading;
Matthew Sweet: One of the best pop-rock musicians of the alternative era, who had real success with catchy tunes like "Girlfriend" and "Sick of Myself."
So put these three 90s rockers together, and they harmonize well enough to record the best Crosby Stills & Nash album in 30 years. :D
Just curious if I'm the only person here who's ever heard this. If so, I'd highly recommend it.

I exspect this has been asked before but what do you do with your figure's open um up or keep them on card and display them?
Personally I keep mine on card and have them on my walls, having 215 figure's means there's no need for wallpaper + I just have'nt got the space to open them (my house has only 2 bedroom's very tiny). Don't get me wrong I have a few opened such as the JEDI and BOUNTY HUNTER'S which I have on display with a little space for JANGO FETTand ZAM WESELL to stand next to when I get them. Anyway's to stray off the subject a bit I've got a chance to buy an EP2 BATTLE DROID FOR £15 what do you guy's think?

Deeplinks Blog posts about Digital Books
Yesterday, hundreds of people gathered in front of the headquarters of The Authors Guild in New York City to protest the removal of text-to-speech capabilities in Amazon's new Kindle 2 ebook device.
You may remember a few months ago, when The Authors Guild claimed (falsely) that the text-to-speech feature violated copyright law, and forced Amazon to disable it.
Now, the people who would have benefited most from the new feature — the blind, and others with reading disabilities — have made it clear that they're not going to stand for it.
Last month, a group called The Author's Guild raised loud objections to the
text-to-speech feature in Amazon's new Kindle 2. They claimed that reading a book out-loud is a violation of US copyright law.
We had hoped that Amazon would stand up to this legally baseless bullying and support their customers. But, instead, they caved, and allowed publishers to deactivate the Kindle's text-to-speech capabilities using the device's built-in DRM.
Presumably, Amazon and The Author's Guild hoped this back-room deal would go unnoticed. Instead, consumers have taken a stand and formed The Reading Rights Coalition:
We posted our initial thoughts about the proposed Google Book Search settlement when it was announced in October 2008. Since that time, the official notice to members of the class has been approved by the court (available online here). This is still probably the best introduction to the 130+ page settlement for those who own a copyright in a book and are wondering what this settlement will mean for his or her copyrights.
But most of us are probably more interested in what this proposed settlement will mean for the future of books, generally. And make no mistake, that is what's at stake here: the relationship between future generations and all the books ever written by previous generations. For those who are concerned about this question, there are two recent articles that you should read.
UPDATE (Aug. 2009): If you are an author, head over to our Google Books page.
UPDATE (Jan. 2009): The official class notice has now been published. Anyone who owns a copyright and has questions about the settlement should start there. Also, I strongly recommend Prof. James Grimmelmann's analysis of the settlement.
Today, Google announced a settlement with authors and publishers in the class action lawsuits over Google Book Search. The settlement still needs to be approved by a New York federal court, but under the plan, Google will:
- pay authors and publishers $125 million, part of which will be used to create a Book Rights Registry allowing copyright owners to register their works and receive a share of subscriptions, book sales and ad revenues;
- allow users to purchase full books, saved to an "electronic bookshelf;"
- will offer institutional subscriptions, including a free online portal for public libraries;
- will point users to locations to buy or borrow searched books.
The settlement also says that authors and publishers will be able to activate "preview" and "purchase" modes for books that are in-print and copyrighted, as well as monetize out-of-print books that are digitized by Google.

Based on the reviews I made a few subtle changes. I bloomed the gelatin in Frangelico and I made the ganache using 1/2 dark chocolate 1/2 Nutella. I garnished with a sprinkling of chopped hazelnuts around the edge of the cake. The hazelnut flavor was subtle but just right as too much can be overpowering. The cake was light, crust flavorful and the ganache dripped beautifully down the side. It was a perfect chocolate finish to a heavy Thanksgiving meal.
This cake was really delicious- rich but also light and not at all "goopy". I added some brandy to the mousse which worked well. Next time I make it I may add more cream to the ganache. As it was, it was too thick to really spill down the sides so it didn't look as elegant as I had hoped.
I hesitated on the rating. This cake has the potential to be "four forks", but as written I don't believe it is . First of all the bottom layer didn't make a fourth the amount shown in the picture. I would, at the very least, double the amount of the base. Or, if you want to keep the very thin layer the recipe makes, cook it about half the time or it will burn and be too crunchy to cut through. Thankfully I noticed that it smelled "done" and it was just past done when I pulled it out but disappointing. I would also double the ganache. I think it would run over the sides if there was more of it. It went down the side of one sides of the cake I made but then I lacked enough to really fully cover the top. Anyhow, as written my cake wasn't nearly as beautiful as the picture. The group I made it for still loved it though. I will make it again but I will definitely double the base and ganache and probably add something to give the mouse just a little more kick.
I use the mousse and ganache part of the recipe all the time and put it on top of a favorite chocolate cake placed in a springform pan so the mousse can set up firm in the fridge. And then glaze with the ganache and decorate with chocolate curls, always looks and tastes great!
Have made this many times. Truly, the quality of ingredients you use matters. People rave. I use Valrhona Caribe semisweet chocolate in the ganache. Mine looks like the picture, and yes, it will drip down the sides if it is at the proper temperature. Has become many people's requested dessert.
love this recipe! Made several times for family and coworkers and they all loved it. The crust is essential so do not substitute. To up the ante with the hazelnut flavoring I substituted hazelnut flavored Kahlua instead of the water to soften the gelatin(side note I use Kahlua like I would vanilla extract in most of my recipes - adds more depth to cookies and cakes that I feel is missing in some recipes- give it a try)The other nice thing is that this freezes beautifully when you can only bake on the weekends like I do. Omit the glaze before freezing. The key to freezing is to keep the mousse in the pan so that the sides of the cake won't dry out. Press plastic wrap directly on top of the mousse and top it with tin foil. To remove the cake from the pan cleanly I take a torch or hairdryer around the wall of the pan to loosen the cake from the sides then you can pop the pan away from the cake. I always double the mousse ingredients for a thicker cake.
I made this cake for Thanksgiving, thinking how can a combination of Nutella and mascarpone not be delicious? It came out well and was easy to make. My springform pan would not attach to the base when inverted, so I omitted that step without any issues. I did not have any problems with the ganache as several others noted. I followed the reviews of several others and used Frangelico in place of the cold water. The mousse did not have a very strong hazelnut flavor, and I imagine it would be undetectable if water were used. This dessert lacked any "Wow Factor" though at the table. It was easily upstaged by my apple pie. It was just okay. I would make the mousse again to be used in another dessert, however I would not make this cake again.
This cake was very good and easy to prepare. It did have a few ingredients that I don't normally have on hand, such as the mascarpone and the larger amt of heavy cream. But that's not really a big deal. The crust was very good, as was the mousse. I used 2x the amount of heavy cream because I read the recipe wrong, but it was fine. I didn't drizzle it down the side, just spread it across the top. I'm betting it would have been a bit firmer if I had let it chill longer. The mousse was chilling for only 2 hours, then I put on the ganache and chilled it for another hour. Longer would have been better, but I ran out of time. Everyone said it was good, and they could taste the hazelnuts. If I make it again, I might make a hazelnut praline for a garnish, just sprinkle it on top. And definately chill for at least 3 hours. I gave it 3 stars because it was good, but not OMG thisisSOgood. Maybe after chilling it longer and the praline it'll earn the 4 stars.
Made this for a friend's birthday and all agreed it was terrific -- and, of course, it's easy. So good I'm making another one for a dinner this week. No problems with glaze -- just don't let it cool too much.
This was superb. Fancy, easy, insanely yummy...I'll definitely make it again. Reading the recipe, I was worried my arm would fall off with all the whisking, but it was actually very little exertion (especially compared to some mousse recipes, where you whisk and whisk and whisk!). My only issue was the ganache. It was delicious, of course, but it was too thick for the drip-down-the-sides effect to look anything but stupid. I even put in a 1/2 cup heavy cream instead of the 1/3 cup that the recipe calls for. I'd say, if you use it as written, simply don't go for a drippy look - just top the cake cleanly with ganache. If you DO want that luscious-looking dribble-down effect, look elsewhere for a looser ganache recipe. Still - it's not like anyone cared (or knew!) that my cake didn't look like the picture...EVERYONE had seconds and my little brother said he loved it even though he doesn't usually like sweets. Score!

The Dow Jones Industrial Average and the Standard & Poor's 500 index are both falling this morning, down 0.6% and 0.8%, respectively.
Falling hard are shares of Abercrombie & Fitch (ANF), after the retailer missed expectations for first-quarter earnings and lowered its full-year outlook. Same-store sales fell 15% during the period.
There are stocks that are climbing this morning, among them Dean Foods (DF) and Intuitive Surgical (ISRG), both up about 4.5%.
Dean Foods' rise comes after it said it had completed the spin off of WhiteWave Foods (WWAV). Stifel analyst Christopher Growe wrote this morning:
With the WhiteWave spinoff complete, we reiterate our Buy rating and establish a new target price of $12. This target price reflects a 6.7X EV/EBTIDA multiple on our 2013 estimate and a 6.4X multiple on our 2014 estimate. We see the deconsolidation of the company and the resulting strong growth potential as a near-term catalyst for the stock.
Intuitive Surgical stock is rising after it won a court case in Washington state:
Jurors in Port Orchard, Washington, reached their verdict yesterday by a 10-2 vote after a five-week trial. Intuitive owes no damages based on claims that the patient, Fred Taylor, and his family suffered due to the company's inadequate training of the doctor who removed his prostate gland in 2008, according to the verdict.
The case was the first to go to trial of at least 26 lawsuits against Intuitive alleging injuries tied to its da Vinci robotic system, which was used in more than 300,000 U.S. operations last year.
Robots and related products generated most of Intuitive's $2.2 billion in revenue in 2012. The robots, which are in more than 1,300 U.S. hospitals, cost $1.5 million each and were used in 367,000 U.S. procedures in 2012.
Also rising this morning are shares of Procter & Gamble (PG) as investors cheer the return of former CEO A.G. Lafley, who will take over from current chief Robert McDonald on July 1. As The Wall Street Journal reports:
With its Pampers diapers and Olay skin creams, P&G dominated the global consumer products market under Mr. Lafley. But the company, with $84 billion in sales and 126,000 employees, has since lost a step to rivals like Unilever UN +2.12% NV. Mr. McDonald spent the past year under scrutiny from his board and from investors concerned he wasn't doing enough to pare down P&G's bloated cost structure and deliver more consistent results.
After showing some improvement in recent quarters, Mr. McDonald stumbled in late April by reporting weak sales growth to start the year. By Thursday afternoon, Mr. McDonald was out of a job.
Bill Ackman has been vocal about P&G's potential, but also for the need for better management performance; the investor welcomed today's news. We wrote a bullish Take on Procter & Gamble (sub required) 10 days ago, with Dimitra Defotis writing:
With Ackman's ability to shake up management and get the stock higher, P&G shares look attractive.

Each client has unique strengths, values. I use these attributes to help the client build the life they seek. Maybe you don't believe you have strengths, but reading this site, or making an appointment takes courage, and courage is an excellent strength to have! Clients are offered empathy, compassion, directness and above all confidentiality in all things. Learning about the past is important, but it is as important to consider the here and now, where you are in the present. I always ask, "what do you want?" and "where do you want to be?" I challenge my clients to care and nurture their best selves, strengthen positives, resolve the negative. Try something different, call me today.

One of the more prominent realty firms on the Gulf Coast, Sarasota-based Michael Saunders & Co., will attack the residential real-estate market with a "think big" strategy. The firm recently hired a new director for its expanded rental division, part of a $750,000 investment in rental real estate. It plans to hire at least nine full-time rental agents in the coming months and up to six more people for inside office jobs.
"We felt strongly this was the best long-term decision," Saunders said. "Our consumers demanded it. And our agents demanded it."
The division will work with both property owners and tenants. It will also work with short-term, long-term, seasonal and annual rentals.
Michael Saunders & Co., founded in 1976, previously ran a rental division that marketed and managed more than 800 units in Charlotte, Manatee and Sarasota counties. Saunders sold that division eight years ago to focus on the then-burgeoning housing boom.
The firm maintained a few rental-focused contracts after it sold the division, though, including two Longboat Key resorts. Saunders sought to get back into rentals full-time over the past year, when several trends showed the demand, along with clients and agents who saw the need.
One of her first moves was to hire Jayci Grana, a rental properties executive from Orlando, to run the division. Grana is incoming president of the National Association of Residential Property Managers, an industry-lobbying group.
Grana says one key to the rental unit is that the brokers will be paid a salary, with a commission on top. Most other firms take a commission-first approach. The rental division also has an improved website, says Grana.
Grana says in many local markets the rental dynamic is slated toward more demand, less supply. So she expects an onslaught of business.
"A lot of people are renters by choice," says Grana. "There are a lot of tenants out there."

I know mostly everyone else in the entire automotive world thinks otherwise, but I like the front end of the 2011 TL better than the front of the 2012. Call me crazy. I think the new one looks too much like a swollen TSX in the face. I always loved how the old one had sharp lines. I saw an all black 2011 model the other day with SH-AWD and the manual transmission and I have to say that it was a very good looking car. That being said, Acura's always look better to me in person than they ever do in pictures so who knows, I may be equally, if not more impressed with the refreshed model upon seeing it in person.

I've seen a black TL in my area with a blacked out "beak" and it looks good. Beyond that, I can't get behind the design. Sometimes these things can grow on me, but this one just can't. It especially doesn't compare well to the previous gen TL or TSX.
I think the '12 TL looks fantastic. I never thought that '09-'11 was that ugly, but now after seeing how good it could have been, I no longer like it.
____________________Because it totally worked when Lincoln did it.
As much as I hated the styling of the '09-'11 TL, I think I like it more than the new refresh. I'll reserve final judgement until I see the new on in the flesh. The pre refresh TL was ugly, but at least it was bold, this new one looks bland and ugly. That new crease on the front end makes it look terrible, I wish they rounded it instead. This is how it should have looked like.

I've always had a soft spot for the TL. It's like an underdog I'm always rooting for. I feel, not just the car, but the company itself has so much potential. Hopefully we'll see more promising things from Acura in the near future.I'm also curious how the 2012 refresh will look in person. I think Motor Authority mentioned it should be on sale come March 18th...so I guess it won't be too far away.Anyhow, before the 2012 refresh announcement/debut, Ron Jon began work on a body kit for the TL. Here are a couple pics of the concept illustrations:The body kit will be new, but the grille has been available for some time. I think it looks Awesome!
It's still rancid compared to the 2004-2008 but the grill is a lot less offensive. I'm sorry but to me the grill on the 2009-2011 was so incredibly terrible and ugly. It went above the headlights, it was huge, all silver, and just horrid.The 2012 addresses some of my complaints...but it's still a dog compared to the previous gen. The hump over the front wheels is dumb, still has the silver on the trunk, and the car overall is just too busy. There's creases, lines, humps, angles everywhere...and the front bumper is just so stupid looking. It's huge...it's not even really a bumper. It's got too much surface area and on top of that there's wayyy too much of the air dams or meshy honeycomb whatever. The turn signal lights are overboard and the foglights are too big, too.UGLY! LOL

In this simple chicken bake, the skin gets good and crispy, and the juices make the vegetables extra-succulent.
Leave a Review
This is an awesome recipe. Easy and I've made it again and again!!!! Great for company.
I used sweet potatoes and added an onion - both were great. I'd cut down on time for chicken. Mine was good but a tad dry. I'll make again!
I have a convection oven so my chicken was done after the first 30 minutes and the vegetables after 20. I added a half of a red onion. I also drained the grease before serving. Next time I would probably try to cut back on the salt. My husbands and I loved how crunchy the skin was and the carmelized carrots
This was fine but not great. I will keep the "perfect pan roasted chicken thighs" recipe and the Cooks Illustrated Chicken in a Pot recipe as my go to. I think this needed more depth - leeks, shallots¿.something.
Great recipe. It has everything that I have in my pantry. I roasted the chicken first for 15 minutes, then put the vegetables in to roast in another pan...this cuts down on the overall baking time. I transferred the vegetables into the baking pan that the chicken was roasting in to get the juices and put the chicken on top. This is not the healthiest recipe... just have to trim back on the chicken.
Very good! I am glad I read the reviews - backed off on the salt, and also cut down on the total roasting time for the chicken to 30 minutes. I made with cauliflower, but would like to try with the potatoes and carrots, as written. Chicken comes out so nice and crispy, and veggies have the extra flavor from the chicken fat - not the ultimate health recipe, but great taste!
Has anyone been successful using skinless, boneless thighs??
This was very tasty. A little too much salt. I cooked it in the convection oven and it cooked a little quicker. Definitely would make it again.
I am making this recipe right now. Did anyone else have trouble cooking at such a high heat? The chicken was sputtering so much it kept setting off my smoke alarm. I put it in a pyrex baking dish with a lid and hope this helps. I turned down the oven to 350....

Mr Vineet Gupta, director, corporate affairs, pricing reimbursement and access, Eli Lilly and Company, India
For more than 135 years, Eli Lilly and Company has demonstrated a commitment to be a responsible global citizen, in large part, through a long history of philanthropic contributions. Our greatest contribution to society, however, is to continue to discover and develop innovative medicines, which will ultimately help us realize our vision to make a significant contribution to humanity by improving global health in the 21st century. We're drawing on our scientific, technical and business expertise to serve patients, meet the community's needs and reduce our environmental footprint.
At Lilly India, we are collaborating with government and other stakeholders to build trust and reinforce our mutual interest in bringing value to patients and society. Increasingly, we are integrating the concept of "shared value" into the way we operate. Using our business expertise to help address pressing social needs opens up new opportunities for us to provide solutions to health challenges.
We have initiated several corporate responsibility initiatives in India, which we believe this approach will help to create enduring value for society and for Lilly. These include, Global Day of Service and Global Health Programs, like Lilly MDR-TB Partnership and Uday- the Lilly NCD partnership, among others.
Global day of service
Each October, we partner with local non governmental organizations to contribute in a meaningful manner. All employees across India work with local organizations to make a difference in the lives of the people who are under privileged.
Global health programs
Health is among an individual's most important personal assets and medicines play an essential role in preserving it. However, around the world, millions lack access to comprehensive health care, including medicines and other treatment tools. Lilly is committed to expanding access to medicines, and we work with partners to improve health outcomes for undeserved populations. Lilly's Global health programs include signature public-private programs, including The Lilly NCD Partnership and The Lilly MDR-TB Partnership.

Family: Accipitridae, Hawks and Eagles view all from this family
Description ADULT MALE Light morph has gray-brown upperparts and pale head. Underparts are pale but streaked heavily dark brown on breast, with dark feathers on flanks. In flight, from below, wings look pale except for dark carpal patch, tips, and trailing edge, while tail is white with broad, dark subterminal band; from above, tail is white with dark barring toward tip. Dark morph looks uniformly dark when perched; in flight, looks all dark from above, but from below, note whitish flight feathers (except for wingtips and trailing edge) and whitish tail with dark subterminal band. ADULT FEMALE Light morph is similar to male, but note dark belly patch and (in flight) more contrasting black and white pattern on tail and on underwings (except for streaked brown underwing coverts); from above, tail is white with broad black terminal band. Dark morph is similar to dark morph male, but plumage is browner; underwing coverts are noticeably paler than dark carpal patches. JUVENILE Light morph is similar to adult female, but in flight note cleaner, paler underwing coverts and gray (not black) subterminal band on tail seen from below; from above, wing coverts and inner primaries are paler than rest of upper wing. Dark morph is similar to dark morph female, but with paler subterminal band on tail underside.
Dimensions Length: 19-24" (48-61 cm); Wngspn: 4' 4" (1.3 m)
Habitat Breeds across Arctic North America; winters from southern Canada southward when widespread, but seldom numerous in open country including farmland; prefers marshes and open tundra.
Observation Tips A hovering Buteo in winter, with a pale upper tail, is an obvious contender for this species.
Range Florida, Plains, Western Canada, New England, Rocky Mountains, Great Lakes, Mid-Atlantic, Southeast, Alaska, Texas, Eastern Canada, Southwest, Northwest, California
Voice Mostly silent.
Discussion Large long-winged raptor with feathered legs and dainty (by Buteo standards) bill. Hunts at low level for rodents and small birds; often hovers. Perches for long periods and looks plump, with wings roughly same length as tail. Plumage is variable, but in all light morphs white upper tail contrasts with otherwise dark upperparts. Sexes are dissimilar.

Make other players marvel at your beautiful moves in The Unfinished Swan with these great tips from developer Giant Sparrow.
Need a bit of guidance in the wonderfully unique PlayStation 3 adventure game, The Unfinished Swan? Giant Sparrow has some pointers to give your skills a touch more grace to glide across the game's beautiful locations.
Be careful with how much paint you use
Early in The Unfinished Swan, black paint will permanently cover any white object - which means the more paint you use, the less you'll be able to see.
Never look back
If you're stuck, try looking for hidden or unconventional paths in the current area. In The Unfinished Swan, you never need to backtrack to previous areas.
Hunt for balloons
There are a number of balloons hidden around the world. Hit them with a paint ball to release them. Balloons can be used to buy toys on the pause menu, and these toys give you different abilities.
Get the Balloon Radar early
If you're trying to find every balloon, buy the Balloon Radar from the toy menu early on. It will tell you how close you are to secret balloons that you might have otherwise missed.
Don't be afraid to experiment
There is no penalty for experimentation, no limited resources and no lost progress when you die. When it's not immediately obvious what to do, keep trying. You may succeed with your second or third guess.
Look for letters
There are a number of storybook pages hidden around the world that look at first like a single capital letter, but reveal themselves fully when splatted. Some are more hidden than others, so keep an eye out for obscure walls that might have a letter on them.
Keep an ear to the ground
Listen to the environment around you, it might lead you to new creatures or details that you may have missed.
Play with a friend
The Unfinished Swan is full of details that you might miss during your first play through, so enjoying it with a friend can be fun and rewarding. Give it a try.
Better a second time
The Unfinished Swan is designed like a storybook and you can jump around to any part that you've previously played. Feel free to take a break whenever you want, as you can always revisit parts later on.
How to tackle the final boss...
Relax, we're just kidding - there's no boss.

|Topic Review (Newest First)
Closely related chemical story
I attended a meeting in Alaska regarding Dioxin I bring this up just to point out how small amounts can really hose an unintended critter! (not that Dioxin is intended for anything)
According to young women with PhDs Dioxins in amounts as small as .0063 parts per "Quadrillion" rendered Rainbow trout sterile.
Im pretty sure it is not good for trout to be subjected to many chemicals but how in the hell do you measure an amount that small?
mosquitoes vs fish
For my vote, I say what the hell, one or two less old fogies verses wiping out the fish, SAVE THE FISH . Of course, if any bureaucracy has anything to do with it, they will kill off all the fish first and then try and work back towards the mosquitoes! If I were really worried about it, I would just load up on vitamin B12 ( 1000mg/day), Mosquitoes don't like that stuff so they leave you alone and go after someone more to their liking. Kind of like garlic and vampires I guess. But hey, it works. Just don't tell everybody, we need some bait
Lobsters, huh? Yeah, THE BIG PICTURE; the "Circle of Life" sans singing lions and such.
More narrowly focused: the trout/freshwater gamefish food chain, believing the spray is an insecticide and, where is it that mosquitos are born/emerge but waterways such as those where we find these fisheries. Done incorrectly, the local eradication programs which are springing up across the nation may have devastating consequences to these fisheries. Since statistical data (as reported by the media) doesn't yet seem to support malaria epidemic proportions and high human mortality, should we interfere with the process at all? [Concentrate our efforts around retirement homes?]
Just something to think about...
|John Desjardins
WS, I havent heard much about it this year but 2 years ago there was a lot of spraying for this reason in the Boston area. Then last year the state decided to wait until people were infected and nothing much was said about the disease. Heres a link from the state of Mass website on there spraying program. In question #16, they say that the pesticides used do harm fish & bees and should not be used in wetlands
|Dble Haul
I'm not sure about the effects on trout fishing, but I seem to remember that in the past few years there have been concerns in Long Island Sound about the decline in lobster numbers. The main culprit was suspected to be runoff that included the toxic residue from mosquito spraying, and the spraying was in response to the WNV cases that were popping up in CT (avain, not human).
For a while I didn't buy into this, but then I read an article somewhere showing data that the toxins were VERY likely to blame with the lobster issues. Being a research scientist, I'm very skeptical of data, but I found this piece to be compelling. I just wish that I could remember where I read it.
Whether or not it's true, I'd say that it's a safe bet that this spraying is affecting the environment on many more levels than we realize. I could go on and on about viruses and their mutation rates and eventual resistance to toxins, but that's a whole other animal. Suffice it to say that nature has a way of taking care of things.
No doubt you have all heard some discussion of the mosquitos-borne Nile virus and efforts to limit its spread through spraying, etc. While acknowledging the saftey concerns, what , if any, may be the environmental issues (re: trout fisheries) from this spraying? In the rush to protect the old folks most susceptible (I guess that would include me) are we imperilling the fisheries? And if we are, is it worth it?

| Is it just us, or does Kate Hudson's look have a slight floral vibe? Babaii channeled the beauty of Italy to create the star's breezy, yet polished, style. Rather than juggling multiple tools, he used his fingers as a comb so he didn't disturb the natural texture of Hudson's hair.

| Despite its effortless texture, Zoe Saldana's low ponytail maintains a dressed-up appearance, and even gets a touch of retro glamour with the added volume at her crown. Her hairstylist, Mara Roszak, used John Frieda's Frizz-Ease Mousse ($5; drugstore.com) on Saldana's damp strands, then rough-dried them to add movement. "To create the perfect natural wavy texture, I loosely braided her hair and let it dry," Roszak said. "I took out the braids, and misted a hairspray all over her head to add extra volume and texture." The Bardot-esque height was made by gentle backcombing at Saldana's crown. Taking sections from either side of the star's head, Roszak overlapped pieces of hair down the back until she formed a low ponytail shape, then fastened the style with hair pins. And remember—the tousled appearance is part of the appeal. "Allow pieces of hair around the face to naturally fall out for a soft, feminine look," Roszak added.

| Va-va-voom! Not only did Padma Lakshmi's strands stay full and bouncy throughout the duration of the 2012 Emmy Awards, the style also had some animated inspiration. "The look is a modern-day Jessica Rabbit-influenced wave," said Lakshmi's hairstylist, Michael Duenas. He used OSiS Ultra-Strong Cream Mousse ($19; drugstore.com) on dry hair to give the style hold, before blowing out horizontal areas. Duenas then wrapped one-inch sections around a curling iron, directing the spirals away from Lakshmi's face. After adding extra ringlets throughout the style, he misted hair with a flexible hold hairspray. Duenas finished by spritzing OSiS Freeze Finish Hairspray ($19; drugstore.com) onto a boar-bristle brush, and combed out each curl to impart a soft wave. "It's sexy, understated, and ultra-feminine."

| One part Farrah Fawcett, one part haute couture, Heidi Klum's bouncy waves at the 2012 Emmy Awards make a statement without appearing overdone. "This look is new for Heidi because it is so soft and sexy," said celebrity hairstylist Oribe, who created the style. "I was inspired by French fashion photographer Guy Bourdin, whose models always looked so glamorous." Oribe blow-dried Klum's hair using Volumista Mist ($34; oribe.com) to create body, then used a curling iron to add pin curls. Once the spirals were completely cool, he brushed through the style and misted on Impermeable Anti-Humidity Spray ($38; oribe.com) to lock out the elements.

| Although she keeps us laughing on "The Mindy Project," a loose, wavy style like Mindy Kaling's is guaranteed to bring serious glamour. Her hairstylist, Luke Chamberlain, drew inspiration from Bianca Jagger to play off of the '70s feel of the star's gown. He used Matrix Biolage Volumizing Mousse ($16; matrix.com for locations) to bring out Kaling's natural wave, then wrapped small sections of hair in a figure-eight pattern around a curling iron. While her strands were still warm, he placed them in one-inch velcro rollers to set. Once cool, Chamberlain used a brush to loosen the curls and spritzed on Matrix Amplify Hairspray ($15; matrix.com for locations) to finish.

| At first glance, Kate Mara's side-swept curls look simple, but intricate details like her low bun and thin plait added a feminine touch. "We wanted her hair to feel young, romantic, and airy," said her hairstylist, Christopher Naselli, who used Oribe's Foundation Mist ($22; oribe.com) to give the updo staying power. He added texture with a curling iron, then start braiding a piece along the right side of Mara's head, stopping at her neck. Naselli pulled a section of hair to the left side, and twisted it into a low bun.

| Who says your neckline should have all the fun? While hair jewelry can be a risk, the simple gold chain Florence Welch added to her updo hit all the right notes. Welch's hairstylist, Nikki Providence, used Davines Defining Texturizer ($18; drugstore.com) to make the star's hair less slippery—a must if you opt for a braided style. She divided Welch's strands into two sections, and began twisting a braid on each side, right above the ear. Providence wrapped each plait across the top of the singer's head, and secured with hair pins before adding the final gilded touch.

Her hairstylist, Harry Josh, applied John Frieda Mousse ($5; drugstore.com) to damp strands, and after drying her hair, he loosely wound pieces around a curling iron to further define the style. "Curl the hair away from your face—from roots to ends. Then, break up the ringlets by running your fingers through them," he advised.

| Lawrence's hairstylist, David Babaii, wanted to create a "high fashionista look" for the star, and judging by the graphic part and high-shine finish, we think he succeeded! The key to an ultra-sleek style that won't quit is to create a good foundation. Babaii used a few drops of IT and LY's Pure Water Drops ($30; sleekhair.com) on Lawrence's hair before blowing it completely straight with a round brush. Be sure to work in sections so you can make each area as smooth as possible. After parting hair to the side, Babaii locked in the straight texture by giving the style a quick pass with a flat iron.

| It's not just for prom anymore! While updos similar to Hyland's are usually accompanied by a corsage and a photo session, the low-key texture and subtle flyaways made the style modern. Plus, it's a great option for second day strands—Hyland's hairstylist, John Ruggiero, even advised her not to lather up. He prepped her strands with Bumble and Bumble's Classic Hairspray ($23; bumbleandbumble.com) before forming corkscrew curls. Then, he twisted her hair into a low bun. Two sections behind Hyland's ears were braided and pinned into the updo to give off a Grecian vibe.

Roszak added movement using Rene Furterer's Volumea Foam ($23; renefurtererusa.com for locations), then hit Dennings's strands with a one-inch curling iron to form feather-weight ringlets. Gentle teasing at the crown gave the style height, and after sliding the luxe headband into place, Roszak finished with a veil of hairspray.

| "We were going for a low, Spanish style bun—something effortless and chic, but that looked like she could have done herself," said Olivia Munn's hairstylist, Kristen Shaw, and luckily, Munn's coiff is easy enough to recreate. Shaw gave the star's hair a subtle wave with Oribe's Maximista Thickening Spray ($26; oribe.com), then used a curling iron to further define her strands. A dollop of Creme for Style ($34; oribe.com) was raked through Munn's mid-lengths and ends, then Shaw began loosely pinning one-inch pieces into the shape of a bun, allowing her soft, loose layers to frame her face.

Amongst all the other the doggy embuggerances currently hanging round my neck is the diagnosis of bladder stones in Labrador "Jack".
We've been down the ultrasound scan, x-ray, blood test and urine test route, and the evidence is clear. He's on pills for reducing the crystals in his urine, a standard antibiotic (Synulox), Metacam for pain relief, and a special food designed to dissolve the existing stones. If anyone has some practical experience of this condition I'd love to hear from them about the eventual outcome and possible preventative measures.

Thread: Opinions on crate times...
Opinions on crate times...
Due to my SO having a very recent job change we are faced with the dilemma of what to do with the dog during the day. I live right in the middle of town and for whatever reason we are not permitted to install solid or chain link fences due to some sort of appearance ordinance in the back yard as it is attached to other people's property. We have a 6 month old APBT. I leave work at 8am and return around 3pm....the SO will be leaving at 7 and returning around 4:30pm. Needless to say he will have to be confined 7 hours per day. I am unable to return home to let him out, and the SO works long distances thus is unable to return home.
Here is what crate schedule we are planning:
12am-6am.....crate due to sleep
6am-8am....out to roam the house/potty/eat/run with me on the treadmill
8am-3pm....crate due to work
3pm-12am....out to do whatever
I personally dont think it is terrible as he will only spend 7 waking hours in the crate and he has gobs of toys in there. Typically when he is out and about he lays on the couch and doesn't really move anyway. Given his age he should also be able to easily hold his bladder for the 7 hours as well.
We do have a 10x10 kennel which we do put him in with supervision and a dog tie out to use when playing in the yard as another ordinance where I live is dogs are not permitted to be off leash. Leaving him on the tie out is not an option....and I am not sure I trust the kennel as I have seen him climb on the dog house looking to escape in the past. He is also an avid digger when bored so I am fearful he may dig out. I have considered pouring a concrete pad inside the kennel and putting a cover on it to keep him contained but since the SOs job starts next week we don't have time to make those adjustments right now. In the long term we do plan to make the kennel more fail proof but for the meantime we need to figure out something to do with him. The SO has suggested we put a tie out inside the kennel so he cannot escape but can utilize the larger space...I am not totally against this as he does very well on a tie out and could not escape or get tangled.

How will the dog be out of the crate at 3pm if you're not back until 4.30pm?
Personally, I wouldn't keep a dog if I worked full time and had no one else to let them out or walk them, especially a high energy/power breed like a pitbull.

The SO is home at 4:30 I am home at 3. I live in a small town...there are no professional dog walkers. Most people here don't even walk their own dog lol3x75 gallons|2x55 gallons|2x50 gallons|3x40 gallons|1x29 gallon|1x10 gallon
Ahhh, right ok. Sorry.
Hmmm...it's still a long time (especially if the dog is crated at night as well) but may be doable if the dog gets enough exercise and mental stimulation. Is this a long term solution or a temporary one?"Somewhere, something incredible is waiting to be known." Carl Sagan
~ 350 Litre Tank Journal ~ ~ 30 Litre Tank Journal ~
Temporary until we make the kennel escape proof. I plan to either pour a concrete pad inside the kennel or bury chicken wire under a layer of pea gravel topped with mulch. I think that the chicken wire/pea gravel/mulch idea is the route we will probably go as it is more easily reversible. This is to prevent digging out, we also need to increase the fence security with zip ties. I purchased several hundred the other day we just haven't had time to work on the fence. We will also be putting a top on the kennel which will provide shade and added security. I also have purchase a chain/pad lock for the gate to prevent him from being able to open the gate and prevent neighborhood children from tampering with it.3x75 gallons|2x55 gallons|2x50 gallons|3x40 gallons|1x29 gallon|1x10 gallon
Would getting him some company be out of the question?"Somewhere, something incredible is waiting to be known." Carl Sagan
~ 350 Litre Tank Journal ~ ~ 30 Litre Tank Journal ~
He should be fine with 7 hours in the crate during the day. Our kids are in their creates once or twice a week for about 6 hours in the winter time. We just compensate with some extra activity before and after.
We have crushed gravel in our dog run area and I like it better than the cement one we had in our other house we used to live in. The crushed rock is a lot easier to clean up as you can just hose it off without getting the rest of yard wet.

We have considered another dog in the future...but for now no. Deuce is a very sweet and loving dog but unusually stubborn even for a pit. I have owned various bully breeds and pits in the past and he takes the cake for stubborn. Once he is completely house broken, trained, and neutered then we will talk about another dog.
He is exercised twice daily, he uses the treadmill with me each morning for 2 miles. Then in the afternoon we either take him for a walk around town or put him on the tie out for a game of fetch. I take him to a dog trainer in a neighboring city on Saturdays for an hour session and then take him to a nearby lake for socialization/more exercise. He socializes with other dogs by being taken to Petsmart during the week and in dog class on Saturday. He also plays with a neighbors dog sporadically during the week. He gets people interaction when we have company or he encounters people away from home.
The dog trainer suggested we put him in a doggie day care...but the closest one to our home is over an hour away so that is out of the question. She did say that he could hold his bladder the 7 hours but was unsure how he would handle the separation as he has never been parted from us both more than a few hours. I have been preparing him for the crating experience by putting him in the crate several hours each day working up to the 7 hours. In good news he is a lazy dog and spends much of the day laying around chewing on something. I am however concerned that if we did put him in the kennel he would go into full blown separation anxiety and do anything possible to escape. The road near my home is busy so an escape could be lethal, also considering his breed he may find people who are not terribly friendly.3x75 gallons|2x55 gallons|2x50 gallons|3x40 gallons|1x29 gallon|1x10 gallon

lol, I much prefer Deuce in the house...and honestly even in the kennel he will be out there only when we are at work. Otherwise he is in the house or with us out and about. I have done research on how to escape proof a kennel like mine which is your pretty standard 12ga chain link.
I am going to use 2x6 treated wood to make a perimeter/barrier on the inside of the kennel and attach chicken wire to line the bottom frame of this to prevent digging. I will then cover the wire with about an inch or two of pea gravel and cover that with a layer of cypress mulch.3x75 gallons|2x55 gallons|2x50 gallons|3x40 gallons|1x29 gallon|1x10 gallon

Good morning dreamers, just wanted to let you know that Teen Mom 2 star Jenelle Evans is officially pregnant again. No word yet on whether she will receive a double salary now that she'll have two babies instead of one, or whether she'll be kicked off the show for aging out of the whole teen concept, like those poor kids on Zoom back in the day.

As the Soviet flag was lowered from atop the Kremlin 20 years ago this month for the last time, it marked the first time in modern history that major powers ended their struggles without war. After threatening American values and interests at home and abroad for nearly half a century, the Soviet Union and the Cold War simply vanished. The perilous contest died, but a dangerous myth lived and thrived-- that President Ronald Reagan won the day with unmatchable hikes in military spending and by being tough and uncompromising. Today, that myth tugs daily in wrong directions regarding the most momentous U.S. policy decisions in hotspots like Iran, North Korea, Afghanistan, and China.
The myth that military power and true grit conquer all locks every major dispute into a test of wills. It blocks the full deployment of American powers. It does no justice to the sophisticated diplomacy employed by Reagan and his successor, George H.W. Bush. Above all, it blinds today's policymakers from seeing clearly what actually won the Cold War and what matters most in 21st-century global affairs—the strength of the U.S. economy.
Without doubt, superior arms and determination were essential in thwarting the Soviet Union. But diplomacy was at least as critical, especially as the Soviet demise neared, when the Cold War could have concluded not with a whimper, but a bang. At that moment and during the critical period that followed, Ronald Reagan and George H.W. Bush used diplomacy not to make unrealistic demands upon Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev, but to help him do what he wanted to do—dismantle the Soviet empire to save the Soviet Union itself and reform the Soviet political and economic system. Gorby was on the ropes. The Berlin Wall had fallen, Soviet troops limped out of Afghanistan, and the Soviet economy was in tatters. Almost everything Gorby wanted to do would reduce the threat to America and its allies. The trick was to help him do it, and that's what Reagan and Bush did. Pure toughness without sensitive diplomacy would have weakened Gorby in the Kremlin and could have led to more Cold War standoffs, or to war. Toughness tendered with diplomatic compromises led to winning without war.

A couple of days ago, we brought you SiWC thoughts from one of our longest-serving board members; today, I have a few from one of our newest. Shilo has been with the conference for some time, volunteering and being a part of things, but she was a new face on our board this year, joining Camille in the mammoth task of volunteer wrangling, which she managed to do while finishing nursing school and starting a brand new job. Pretty impressive! Here are some of her thoughts on SiWC in her own words:
As I sit down to write this, I am still feeling overwhelmed by my experiences at SiWC 2010. The conference is always incredible, but this year seemed extra special. At the end of the weekend, I was exhausted, but more creatively energized than ever. From the feedback I have heard, I'm not the only one who was inspired.
It was impossible to attend all of the fabulous workshops and events happening this year, but I heard great things all around. Of the workshops and events I had the opportunity to attend, there were a few that really stood out. Ivan Coyote's keynote on Saturday morning and her Bootcamp for Procrastinators workshop were powerful. I will certainly be cultivating my "inner ass" and practicing her procrastination busting tips this year (more on kicking the procrastination bug later).
I must admit that the RN in me really enjoyed the Blood Spatter Night Owl and learning how far arterial spurt will actually travel if unimpeded (7 to a maximum of 16 inches for those of you who are curious). Kudos to Chris for answering some detailed and gory questions from the audience without missing a beat. I can't wait to check out the forensic workshops at the Vancouver Police Museum in January 2011!
Finally, I don't think I will ever forget Sam Sykes explaining how writing is like being constipated in his First Time Publishing Experience workshop. I laughed so hard at his analogy I thought I'd have to leave the room.
In addition to what I learned this year, it was great to meet new people and say hello to friends from previous years. There is never enough time to chat, but I appreciate the little moments of connection with kindred spirits. Those of you I didn't have a chance to meet this year, I hope to see you in 2011!
Unlike our fearless MC, Carol, who has been around since the very beginning, this was my first year as a SiWC board member. I am in awe of the talented women who put this conference together. I learned so much from each of them this year, and look forward to what I'll learn as we plan SiWC 2011. Thank you all for welcoming me so warmly to the group and supporting me as a newbie. A huge Thank You to all of our volunteers as well. You all did a great job, and I really appreciate you being patient as I learned my new role.
Now for the procrastination follow-up...One of Ivan's tips is to use public shame to your advantage. In order to do this, I'll need your help. I have signed up for National Novel Writing Month (http://www.nanowrimo.org/), which means I aim to write 50 000 words in November. This is a scary goal for me as I haven't written anything seriously in more than six years, so I may need you all to shout (er...or type) "We're not mad, we're just disappointed!" at me on occasion. I was a little slow to start today with only 874 words, but I didn't chicken out, so that's something.
Shilo Hebert
(Kathy's note... hope Nano goes brilliantly for Shilo and for all our attendees and volunteers who are taking part this year. Chime in and support each other here in the comments, if you'd like!)

text: This is the story of my first turkey. I took him back on April 14 1997. It was my fifth turkey season. The reason I took this bird was due to scouting beginning in early March. I found out where this gobbler was roosting on April 5 1997.The place I got him was on a game land in North Carolina. I almost took this same tom on opening day on the Saturday April 12 1997. But due to other hunters scaring him off I fail to get him. I roosted him on April 13 1997 Sunday evening. Monday April 14 1997. I was setup near his roost by 5:00 am. He gobbled good on the roost. He flew down and went to the west instead of east to me. After that morning setup I sat down to try and figure out were that gobbler went. I then remembered from my scouting he had a strut zone to the west of the roost. So I went a few ridges over near his strut zone. I called on my mouth caller. He gobbled from the far end of his strut zone. I setup and I called to that him for hours but he would not come my way. I played the silent game on him. Finally at 2:45pm he came to look for that hen that had been calling to him. He was coming straight to me. He moved to my left behind a tree. He stood behind that tree for what seemed like forever. He then turned to leave going straight away. He made the mistake of stopping and looking back toward me. That was his final mistake. I fired and down he goes down. He tipped the scales at 22 lbs even, sported 10 1/4" beard with 1" dull spurs on both legs. I named my first turkey too. He is called Flinthill Gobbler. He is name after the mountain which I took him. There is flint rock everywhere around that mountain. I think that is why his spurs are so dulled. It was an awesome day in the spring woods.

Been working on my room downstairs lately. I've had this idea on how I wanted to put up my beards for quite awhile now, and I finally got around to it and got them up.
Hopefully I can get these pics in the right order.
Got one for Rios, one for Merriams, and one for Easterns. The lettering shows up better then in the pics. I may end up darkening it though.

However, I think it makes little difference whether the identification is done is the user name or the signature. I do miss some of the user names since they often tell us more about the people behind the names (luvlabswithspots, got4girls, stukinstage2, or whatever). Thus, like most things in life, it's a choice with mixed benefits.

The Big Dig may at long last be 99 percent completed, but the finger-pointing is just in the early stages. Attorney General Martha Coakley kicked things off last week with her indictment of the Dig's epoxy manufacturer, Powers Fasteners, on one count of involuntary manslaughter in the death of Boston resident Milena Del Valle, who died in the I-90 tunnel collapse last summer.
As the worst boondoggle in public works history slowly winds its way through our court system, "Freedom Watch" offers a word of advice to Phoenix readers: be skeptical of our state government's every move.
It is surprising, given how untrustworthy the Commonwealth has proven to be in handling the Big Dig (not to mention other construction projects, such as the crumbling buildings at UMass), that the local media didn't approach the indictment with more skepticism. Here's what to watch out for as this story continues to unfold.
Has Powers Fasteners been indicted to deflect blame from the Commonwealth? According to documents released to the media, the Massachusetts Highway Department was warned back in 1999 that one of Powers Fasteners' two kinds of epoxy, the one referred to as "quick-set epoxy," had failed a crucial "creep test," indicating a potential for the anchors holding the tunnel ceiling to slip. The "quick-set epoxy" could safely handle a variety of uses, but not the task of holding the heavy ceiling panels.
If this is true, it means that Powers Fasteners' role in the tunnel collapse can be seen as no more than minimal and most certainly does not rise to the threshold necessary to prove manslaughter, which is defined as "an unlawful homicide unintentionally caused by wanton and reckless conduct." Since the attorney general's office is seeking to recover perhaps hundreds of millions of dollars from the various contractors for the project's overall flaws (and there are many), it would throw a huge monkey wrench into that pending civil suit if it turned out that the state highway department was largely at fault for the Del Valle catastrophe.
And why is it that the general contractors of the overall project — giant consortium Bechtel/Parsons Brinckerhoff — was not charged for its role in allowing the use of glue that the project managers had been warned not to use? The Bechtel consortium had a much larger role in the Big Dig than did Powers Fasteners.
Powers Fasteners' president, Jeffrey Powers, has said: "The only reason that our company has been indicted is that, unlike others implicated in this tragedy, we don't have enough money to buy our way out."
This appears to be an indirect accusation — perhaps a prediction — that the big boys will indeed "buy [their] way out" of a criminal case by forking over a huge payday in civil settlements with Coakley and with United States Attorney Michael J. Sullivan.
All of this raises troubling ethical, legal, and public-policy questions to which a skeptical citizenry must be alert. Are state and federal prosecutors, in order to close costly budget overruns and provide for future monitoring and repairs of the seriously ailing project, planning to force the major actors in the Big Dig fiasco to fork over huge amounts of money in exchange for not being prosecuted?

Love this Belle and it is all so true! When our kids were little, I would come home from the grocery store and ask, "where are the girls." My DH's response was always, "I don't know, they are around here somewhere!" So the one about children really hit home for me! I still pretty much know what my kids are doing all the time and they are both married! LOL!

The Sojourners
Buy CD's from our secure server, or digitally direct from iTunes or Zunior
When Canadian blues icon Jim Byrnes called Vancouver based gospel singer Marcus Mosely on the phone a few years ago to ask if he could round up a few friends to record some back up vocals for a new album, no one could have guessed what would happen next.
From the moment Mosely and his pals, Will Sanders and Ron Small stepped up to the microphone and began singing, they realized that they had something very special going on. When Byrnes dubbed the trio The Sojourners the name stuck and – as they say – the rest is history.
Formative years spent singing in the churches of Mosely, Small and Sander's hometowns – Ralls, Texas, Chicago, Illinois and Alexandria, Louisiana respectively – give The Sojourners' sound an authentic edge that only comes with experience. This is real gospel - blessed with a soul that can't be faked.
While it wouldn't exactly be right to call the Sojourners a new act – given that each member of the group has been in the music business for around fifty years - the sound, energy and commitment they conjure any time they get together would be the envy of singers half their ages.
Hot on the tail of their session with Byrnes, the Sojourners went into the studio with roots music whiz Steve Dawson to record Hold On, their first solo album in 2007. Two years and many sessions later, Mosely, Small and Sanders have taken all they've learned in between and returned to record a second CD simply entitled The Sojourners.
No longer the new kids on the block, the trio had definite ideas of how they wanted their follow up record to sound, and one listen through the songs they've captured here shows that they've succeeded beyond their wildest expectations.
Working again with Dawson as producer, The Sojourners have recreated a classic gospel sound this time around - replete with the warm tones of Mike Kalanj's Hammond B 3 organ and Dawson's dirty blues guitar. With Geoff Hicks and Keith Lowe returning on drums and bass, and a soaring cameo from Jesse Zubot on 'By and By', The Sojourners have found a band that keeps pace with the power of their vocals.
This is not music that strives to be polite. In the Sojourners' universe, echoes of doo wop, R&B, country and blues weave together to create a unique sound that has all but vanished from today's world.
This is gospel music that can take a punch and remain standing. Singing praise music with their own special 'stank', the Vancouver based Sojourners sound just as at home in a road house bar as they do in a revival tent.
Never has travelling the hard road between sin, loss and redemption sounded as glorious
as it does on these eleven timeless recordings. Listening to these seasoned vocalists breathe new life into classic tunes like Doris Akers' 'Lead Me Guide Me' and The Violinaire's 'Another Soldier Gone' is as transcendent an introduction to gospel as anyone could ever hope for.
Other highlights include a chilling reading of Gary Davis' 'Death Don't Have No Mercy' – a song long associated with the Grateful Dead. In this version, the Sojourners are at full strength as Ron's haunting leads set a dark tone that is offset by sweet harmonies from Will and Marcus.
To hear all three singers' distinct vocals meet at the crossroads in this song is to experience the signature Sojourners sound as different gospel traditions come together and blend mellifluously as one.
An uplifting cover of Los Lobos' 'Peace in the Neighbourhood' serves to remind listeners of the connection between civil rights, social justice and gospel that Mosely, Small and Sanders have explored throughout their careers.
The Sojourners are a rock solid unit and proof positive that faith can move mountains. But, don't let that scare you away. Sinner or saved - wherever you are on your own personal journey, you should listen to The Sojourners. You'll feel better for it.

Three local players join Mallards
Handel, Meeteer and Koenig added to 2013 roster
MADISON - The Madison Mallards have announced the re-signing of redshirt sophomore infielder Michael Handel from the University of Minnesota, and the signings of sophomore outfielder Luke Meeteer and junior infielder Sam Koenig from UW-Milwaukee.
Handel, a 6'1", 180 pound Sun Prairie native played in 2011 for the Mallards after red-shirting his freshman season as a Golden Gopher.
In 2011 with the Mallards, Handel got off to a slow start but in his last ten games he batted .307 with two home runs, and seven RBIs. For the season Handel appeared in 46 games, 6th on the 2011 Mallards roster.
In 2012, Handel played in 49 games for the Golden Gophers, including 45 starts. He ranked second on the team with 126 assists and maintained a .970 fielding percentage. He batted .265 with two home runs and 12 RBIs in 155 at-bats. After the season Handel was named to the All-Big Ten Freshman Team.
Handel attended nearby Sun Prairie High School where he earned All-State Honors in 2009 and 2010. During his senior season he batted .429, scored 27 runs, stole 17 bases, and recorded 25 RBIs while leading the Cardinals to a Big 8 Conference Championship. He is undecided on a major at Minnesota.
Meeteer, a 5'11", 185 pound Middleton native will join the Mallards after completing his sophomore season with the Panthers. As a freshman Meeteer led the team in batting average (.331) and steals (16). He also contributed one home run and 15 RBIs while appearing in 48 games and making 44 starts. He was named First-Team All-Horizon League following the season.
Meeteer spent the summer of 2012 playing for the West Virginia Miners of the Prospect League. He hit .344 with two home runs and 21 RBIs in 51 games for the Miners while being named a Prospect League All-Star.
Meeteer was a standout at Middleton High School where he was named First-Team All-State by the Wisconsin Baseball Coaches Association following his junior and senior seasons. He batted .515 with a .566 on-base percentage as a senior and .462 with a .548 on-base percentage as a junior while leading the Cardinals to a 22-4 record. He was also named a All-State Academic Team member. He is majoring in Kinesiology at UW-Milwaukee.
Koenig, a 6'5", 220 pound junior will join the Mallards on a temporary contract. A Prairie Du Sac native, Koenig will come to Madison following his third season with the Panthers. In 2012, he hit .300 and set career highs in runs (35), hits (57), doubles (13), and RBIs (28). He also walked a team high 22 times for a .375 on-base percentage.

Which is precisely where apple (usually) succeeds and others fail. Apple would NEVER have released a product in the same state Amazon released the Fire.
