Jazz groups from Princeton, Juilliard perform, April 22
Posted April 11, 2006; 06:39 p.m.
The top jazz musicians from two educational institutions -- New
York's Juilliard School and Princeton University -- will join forces
for a big band doubleheader at 8 p.m. Saturday, April 22, at the
McCarter Theatre Center.
The Juilliard Jazz Orchestra, led by Wycliffe Gordon, performs music from across the spectrum of jazz styles -- a broad range that includes originals from band members. Princeton's Concert Jazz Ensemble, directed by Anthony D.J. Branker, is dedicated to the performance of the significant works of Duke Ellington and Billy Strayhorn, and has been joined in its concerts by such renowned artists as Slide Hampton, Benny Carter, Phil Woods, Terence Blanchard and Jimmy Heath.
Each group will play its own set and will join forces for a special encore, Duke Ellington and Billy Strayhorn's "Far East Suite."
Tickets are $10, $15 and $20 for the general public and $7.50 for students. They are available online or by calling the McCarter box office at (609) 258-2787.

This site, as the domain and title says, is FOR ROCK AND ROLLERS (4rocknrollers!). And as a tribute to our favorites, we were stunned to learn that many of those groups that we think should be honored, have never had a place in the Hall of Fame.
This is our reminder that these groups have played an important part of rock and roll history and should have a place in the Hall of Fame!

so are all the black people murderers gun nuts?
I was thinking about this the other night. If I defended myself from someone, I'd imagine chances are they'll come back later (Like in Gran Torino, maybe ) and try again. So, if I shot someone after they started running away, wouldn't that be defending myself?
I don't understand how that works.

SELF LOVE | No Not That Kind… "A Letter"
Gala, of Gala Darling, has become one of those people I love without ever having met her. She did something quite simple, but still quite remarkable on December 15, and with it she touched so many hearts, including mine. What was it? A letter, written to herself. Stop doing the Hokey Pokey, because this is what it's all about.
Here's a snippet from her deeply touching and enormously inspiring prose:
"… My favourite thing about you is that you are living life YOUR way & doing the best you can. Your story is your own. You don't allow other people to persuade you to give up your dreams. You have a shining vision for the future & you're making little steps there every day. You don't allow people who "don't understand" to get you down, you just leave them behind in your glorious wake. You have faith that they'll catch up when the time is right. It is so awesome & delicious.
I think that when you are doing important things, the universe will throw challenges at you to see how serious you are. If you give up, it obviously didn't mean that much to you. The universe will give your dream to someone else. But you haven't given up. You keep forging ahead. You are so lionhearted & full of love & hope… "
Be sure to read the rest of Gala's letter; it'll fill up your tank so you can keep on keepin' on.

Tetralogy of Fallot is a type of congenital heart defect. Congenital means that it is present at birth.
Tet; TOF
Tetralogy of Fallot causes low oxygen levels in the blood. This leads to cyanosis (a bluish-purple color to the skin).
The classic form includes four defects of the heart and its major blood vessels:
Tetralogy of Fallot is rare, but it is the most common form of cyanotic congenital heart disease. Patients with tetralogy of Fallot are more likely to also have other congenital defects.
The cause of most congenital heart defects is unknown. Many factors seem to be involved.
Factors that increase the risk for this condition during pregnancy include:
Children with tetralogy of Fallot are more likely to have chromosome disorders, such as Down syndrome and DiGeorge syndrome (a condition that causes heart defects, low calcium levels, and poor immune function).
A physical examination with a stethoscope almost always reveals a heart murmur.
Tests may include:
Surgery to repair tetralogy of Fallot is done when the infant is very young. Sometimes more than one surgery is needed. When more than one surgery is used, the first surgery is done to help increase blood flow to the lungs.
Surgery to correct the problem may be done at a later time. Often only one corrective surgery is performed in the first few months of life. Corrective surgery is done to widen part of the narrowed pulmonary tract and close the ventricular septal defect.
Most cases can be corrected with surgery. Babies who have surgery usually do well. More than 90% survive to adulthood and live active, healthy, and productive lives. Without surgery, death usually occurs by the time the person reaches age 20.
Patients who have continued, severe leakiness of the pulmonary valve may need to have the valve replaced.
Regular follow-up with a cardiologist is strongly recommended.
Call your health care provider if new unexplained symptoms develop or the patient is having an episode of cyanosis (blue skin).
If a child with tetralogy of Fallot becomes blue, immediately place the child on his or her side or back and put the knees up to the chest. Calm the baby and seek medical attention immediately.
There is no known prevention.

Of all the answers on this thread, you take exception with mine.
In your best libertarianesque manner of not offering anything of substance, just criticism.
Then, just for flavor, a double shot of snark.
So, I stand corrected, as President I would have no responsibility or power to produce a passable budget.
And there would be no way I could excercise any leadership to sit down and get something done.
Well played.

FEATURE Painters literally make the scene at CSF
August 1, 2014
Set against a backdrop of whining power saws and pounding hammers, scenic artists create self-contained worlds in which the Colorado Shakespeare Festival performances come to life.
The painters wield brushes like magicians, transforming foam to stone, plain walls into gilded rooms, and new materials into antiques.
In the scene shop housed in CU-Boulder's Theatre and Dance Department, stacks of lumber and metal, buckets of paint, brushes large and small, and an array of hand tools provide everything needed to create scenery and props for the summer plays.
Overseeing the painting projects is Jenn Melcher, who has been on the CU-Boulder staff since 2007. During the academic year, Melcher paints sets for the College of Music's operas and also works as a stagehand for Macky Auditorium Concert Hall. This is her first season working for the Shakespeare festival.
"I like to be able to make my own decisions about paint colors, but to also be part of a team," she said. "What I'm doing serves the play. Most people in the audience don't realize how much work goes into painting scenery."
The creative process starts with plans from a scenic designer. Then Melcher's team of part-time and volunteer painters turns the sketches into three-dimensional reality. And a group of CU-Boulder theater students did a practicum for credit.
The sets need to enhance the style and tone of a play, create an appropriate mood and atmosphere, and provide clues to the time and place of the play.
Theatrical scenic painting employs techniques ranging from trompe l'oeil, or visual illusion, to faux finishes to landscape and figurative painting. Plastering, gilding and sculpting are also used.
Mariah Hermsmeyer, a senior studying studio art and environmental design, is a first-time volunteer for the Shakespeare festival. Her paint-splattered jeans provide a testimony of the many projects she has worked on this summer, which included carving "stone columns and helping paint a mural for The Merry Wives of Windsor, helping paint the sunset mural, boulders, stairs and the boat for The Tempest, and working on wood graining the floors and stairs for I Hate Hamlet.
"There's a lot of playing around and experimenting with paints," said Hermsmeyer, "to get just the right color or faux finish. What we do is creative problem solving."
Melcher credits her team for jumping in and getting it all done.
"Everyone worked so hard and I could not have done it alone," said Melcher. "The festival is very much a learning ground for students and the teaching part is really what keeps me coming back to this sort of thing."

Chiefs fall to Americans in OT
SPOKANE, Wash. - Tri-City scored just 21-seconds into overtime as the Americans defeated the Chiefs 4-3 in front of a sellout crowd of 10,366 fans at the Spokane Arena Saturday night. Brenden Kichton notched two assists to extend his point scoring streak to 11 games as the Chiefs fell to 15-7-0-0 at home and 28-17-1-0 overall.
Spokane piled up 18 shots to just six for the Americans in the first period, but nearly came away empty-handed. Tri-City scored the game's first goal at 11:40 with Parker Bowles' first of two on the night.
The Chiefs finally beat Americans' goalie Luke Lee-Knight at the 19:49 mark as Todd Fiddler found the back of the net off a stellar feed from Kichton, with Blake Gal also chipping in an assist on the score.
Spokane grabbed their first lead of the night at the 12:29 in the second with Carter Proft rebounding a shot in the slot and firing it top shelf for the score on assists from Cole Wedman and Riley Whittingham. The Chiefs outshot the Ams 9-8 for the period.
Bowles scored his second goal of the night at the 7:05 mark of the third and Jesse Mychan added another at the 11:23 mark to give Tri-City a 3-2 lead. Spokane answered at 14:40 with the equalizer as Dylan Walchuk scored on the power play with assists from Kichton and Reid Gow.
The two teams traded shots in the remaining minutes of the third but neither scored as the game went to overtime, setting up Malte Stromwall's game-winning goal in the extra period.
Williams finished 18 of 22 on save opportunities while Lee-Knight was 39 of 42. Spokane went 1 of 3 on the power play and 2 for 2 on the penalty kill.
Tonight's three stars: Luke Lee Knight (1st), Carter Proft (2nd), Maltre Stromwall (3rd).

During the fiscal year 2012-13 budget workshops, the City Council directed the City Manager to conduct a comprehensive review of the city's organizational structure, staffing, and efficiency, in response to the ongoing impact of the economic recession on the city budget. The last major review of city government was undertaken by the Citizens' Efficiency Review Committee (CERC) in 1999.
For this year's organizational efficiency review, city management is performing a two-tiered review driven by both an internal group of top management staff and a citizen review committee. The internal group, under the direction of the City Manager, reviewed relevant operational and financial data and solicited ideas for improved operational efficiencies from departments and employees. The internal group completed its review in November of 2012.
In September 2012 the City Council created COERC which is composed of nine members with experience in sound business practices and representing areas such as industry, businesses, universities, and health care institutions.
The duties and responsibilities of the Committee include:
Citizens' Organizational Efficiency Review Committee Members
Citizens' Organizational Efficiency Review Committee Executive Summary and Final Report [pdf/12.3mb]

Quoting MAweatherboy1:
we will see ALETTA soon
Member Since: Posts: Comments:
By: Dr. Jeff Masters , 2:09 PM GMT on May 11, 2012
The U.S. suffered its second billion-dollar weather disaster of 2012 on April 3, when a massive hailstorm and 21 tornadoes hit the Dallas/Fort Worth, Texas region, said insurance company Aon Benfield, in their latest monthly Global Catastrophe Recap Report. They put the damage at $1 billion. The tornado outbreak included one EF-3 twister, which hit Forney, Texas. A severe hailstorm during the outbreak hit the DFW airport, damaging over 100 airplanes, and forcing the temporary closure of the airport. The other billion-dollar weather disaster of 2012 was the March 2 - 3 tornado outbreak in the Midwest and Southeast. NOAA put the total cost of the tornadoes that killed 41 people in Kentucky, Indiana, Ohio, and Alabama during the outbreak at $1.5 billion. There were two EF-4 tornadoes, one which devastated Henryville, Indiana, and another that plowed through Crittenden, Kentucky. On average, the U.S. sees 3 - 4 billion-dollar weather disasters each year, with 1 - 2 of these being severe weather/tornado outbreaks. In 2011, we already had five billion-dollar weather-related disasters by the first week of May, so we are well behind last year's pace. NOAA's National Climatic Data Center logged a record fourteen billion-dollar weather disasters in 2011. There has been just one other billion-dollar disaster in the world this year, according to Aon Benfield--severe flooding in Australia's New South Wales and Victoria states in late February and early March that caused $1.58 billion in damage. A separate flooding episode in late January and early February came close, causing an additional $920 million in damage in Australia.

Canada and Midwest U.S. frost/freeze damage in the hundreds of millions of dollars
Damage to fruit trees in Ontario, Canada due to a series of frosts and freezes over the past six weeks will easily top $100 million dollars, said the Windsor Star this week. About 80% of the Ontario apple crop was wiped out. At the Ann Arbor Farmer's Market yesterday, I talked to a local apple grower who told me that her orchard in Southeast Lower Michigan had suffered at least a 90% loss of its apple crop. She said the story was similar for all the growers of apples, pears, peaches, nectarines, grapes, cherries, and plums in Michigan. "The only year that can compare was 1945," she told me, "and that year wasn't nearly as bad as 2012." Fruit crops in Pennsylvania and New York State have suffered heavy damage as well, and the total damage to agriculture from this year's freezes will likely be in the hundreds of millions of dollars. All of this damage occurred despite the fact that April temperatures across the region were above average. The culprit was the extraordinary "Summer in March" weather in mid-March 2012, which brought a week of 80°F-plus temperature to the region that triggered a record early bloom.

Hurricane season is coming
It's now mid-May, which means that hurricane season is about to start in the East Pacific. The official start of the East Pacific hurricane season is May 15, and the action is already starting to heat up. The first "Invest" of 2012 in the East Pacific, Invest 90E, is located about 700 miles south of Puerto Vallarta, Mexico, and is moving westward out to sea, posing no threat to any land areas. The European Center model predicts the possibility of another system getting organized in the East Pacific, closer to the coast of Mexico, during the period Wednesday - Friday (May 16 - 18.)
In the Atlantic, where hurricane season officially starts on June 1, the action may also be about to heat up. For the past several days, the GFS model has been consistently predicting the development of a subtropical storm in the Western Caribbean, or waters near Florida, sometime May 19 - May 21. The European Center model has not been on board with this, but has been predicting a very moist flow of tropical air will develop, bringing heavy rains to Florida May 19 - 20. So, it is possible we will see the Atlantic's first named storm occur in May this year, but the models are very unreliable this far out.
Have a great weekend, everyone!

How do you feel about the new Animated-Style Clone Wars Figures?
I think they're kind of cool, but I don't plan on buying them right now.
It would help me to know if they are articulated more like Aayla Secura and less like Luminara Undulli. It'd add to the coolness quality I see in their sculpts.
I don't really want to start collecting a whole new line, and I'm not sure I'd count these if I was trying to be a completist.
But the Playskool line hooked me on their cuteness factor, as well as having durability, minimal parts that could be lost, and especially those warped vehicles.
To tell the truth, I'd have wanted more Playskool stuff, rather than these.
Also, as an Expanded Universe fan just dying for more EU characters from the story sources outside the films, I'm not sure that more of the same main characters, and a singular EU character (Ventriss) who already has a sculpt, needs more variations when Quinlan Vos, Villie, some Yuuzhan Vong, and the Solo Jedi do not even exist.
Still the animated-style figures are different, and well-sculpted to look like the art we'll be seeing on the cartoon show, so I'll stay open to the possibility that I'll want these.
I'm on the fence right now and will wait to see both the figures as well as the cartoon series.
How about you?

Jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle all the way! Oh what fun it is to decorate a spicy gingerbread village!
Make the gingerbread the day before the decorating fun begins!
Meringue powder can be found in craft and cake decorating supply stores.
Complete the landscape of your village with a gingerbread cookie tree. Use 5 small star-shaped cookie cutters in graduated sizes. Bake about 5 minutes. When cool, stack with icing in between and decorate.
Royal Icing dries out quickly, so keep it covered with plastic wrap and work with small portions. Place small portions in small resealable food-storage plastic bags, snip off a corner and squeeze the bag for easy decorating.
Don't want to get out the mixer to make the icing? Make Quick Gingerbread Frosting instead. Beat 2 cups powdered sugar, 1/3 cup shortening, 2 tablespoons light corn syrup and 5 to 6 teaspoons milk with a spoon until frosting is smooth and spreadable.

Keeping an eye on young talent
*Earlier in the summer we carried a piece on Wolves' recruitment department, and the structure now in place to try and spot the best available talent but at home and abroad (CLICK HERE TO VIEW). Here now is the second part of that interview, focusing on the importance of recruitment at all levels of the club.
While it is always the senior signings and those vying to go straight into the first team which understandably catch the headlines, for Wolves, recruitment is viewed as equally as important at all levels of the club.
And perhaps the scouting utopia? Spotting a player at Academy level or bringing in a young player who goes all the way through to make his name at first team level.
In recent years Wolves have strived to ensure their recruitment is equally proficient at all levels and ages of the game, to try and build and develop on the excellent young talent which has been identified by the intrepid scouts from the pitches of Wolverhampton and beyond.
The likes of local Academy graduates Danny Batth, Jack Price, Liam McAlinden and Ethan Ebanks-Landell all emerged powerfully from the shadows during the Sky Bet League One title-winning season, with others brought into the club at a young age such as Lee Evans, Matt Doherty and Aaron McCarey also making key impacts.
And that is why Head of Recruitment Stuart Webber believes his Academy counterpart Kieran Scott has an equally important role in spearheading the search for potential first team players of the future.
Work has continued through the summer to bring in new signings for Kenny Jackett's team this summer, with Tommy Rowe and Rajiv Van La Parra already secured, but that focus is also aimed at Under-21 level with a move for Barcelona's Jordi Ortega also completed subject to the necessary paperwork.
"For Kieran and the guys in the Academy all the tournaments take place through the summer and players are out of contract from other clubs who we can start talking to," says Webber.
"And from our Under-21s group a lot of those lads have gone into the first team set-up so there is a need to replace those players as well.
"Some of the Under-18s will filter up as always happens but we will also maybe have to add two or three as well.
"For us as a department probably the pinnacle in terms of what people see is who we sign for the first team.
"But there is a bigger picture of also filling the Under-21 group up and the 18s and the 16s.
"The ideal situation for us is we don't sign a player at first team level, he comes up through the Academy or Under-21s.
"That is the aim of our model.
"Whether you're the owner or a supporter there is nothing better than seeing one of your own make it and this year has been a proud year in that respect.
"So Kieran's remit, is probably more important than mine, in terms of the long term stability of the club.
"Kieran has to bring in players to potentially save the club money at the top end, but also players who have come in at such an age that they are part of the club, understand the make-up of the club, know the people and care for the club.
"Kieran has done a great job since he came in as have all the scouts, including the eight part-time scouts who are the unsung heroes really, out and about every weekend and midweek watching games and watching players."
The likes of the arrivals of Lee Evans and Kortney Hause follow on from Aaron McCarey, Matt Doherty and Jake Cassidy in previous years in terms of Wolves always on the lookout for good young players to supplement those who are coming through the Academy.
And a sign of how far the net is being cast came with the signings last summer of Portuguese winger Eusebio Bancessi and midfielders Albert Torras and Carlo Erdei from Spain and Romania respectively.
Webber continues: "If you look at what we have done in the last couple of years, Lee Evans has come into the Under-21s and then gone on to be one of the mainstays of the first team and he's still only 19 years old.
"We signed Kortney Hause in January who was a great example of good scouting.
"We watched him for the first time on January 3rd, 2013, and ended him signing up on January 31st, 2014.
"There was a full year watching him and following him.
"I remember one night we saw him play in the Carling Cup against Leicester and Nugent and Wood which was a good test for him.
"And then there was game away at Rochdale when he played at left back and had a really bad game and was taken off at half time.
"We had a year to paint a real picture of what he is and hopefully we have signed a very good player for the future.
"We also brought in the three lads from abroad at the start of the season – Eusebio, Carlo and Albert.
"Eusebio actually got close to playing this season which is a good achievement given he is only 18.
"When he arrived last summer he didn't speak a word of English has done very well to progress and for the majority of the time has been training with the first team.
"I think he scored 13 goals for the Under-21s from a wide position which is excellent.
"Carlo and Albert are younger than Eusebio and next season they'll be playing in the Under21s a lot more.
"With foreign players you do have to be that little bit more patient because they are needing to settle in to a new language and culture and play a totally different style of football.
"Those lads have done that quite well and from time to time I think it is good to be able to supplement the homegrown players and those we bring in with players from abroad who are that little bit different to what we have already."
And when it comes to younger players, the keyword from all at Wolves is often 'patience'.
No longer are big decisions on players necessarily taken when they immediately come out of the Academy, but, as seen particularly with the breakthrough season enjoyed by Jack Price, it may be slightly later that they become suited for the demands of first team football.
"Albert for example has spent a lot of time training with the first team this year," adds Webber.
"Because he is such a good footballer he can handle it and the first team players have got no problem with passing him the ball because they know he will keep hold of it.
"But for him it's a case of getting used to the physical side and the pace of the game which is new to him.
"Sometimes you do have to take your time with players and Jack Price here is a great example.
"He is almost like a foreign player in his style and physique and he's a great example of how a player can develop.
"Leon Osman at Everton is an example of a player who was 22 before he really came in and, now that he is 30 and has been playing in the Premier League for many years, everyone forgets that he came through a little bit later.
"That is where I think we do well as a club in giving these boys just that little bit longer and show that key word which rarely exists in football – patience.
"The coaches here can identify these players and how they develop and are good judges that sometimes they may just need a bit longer.
"Realism is that if you want a young midfielder who is physically fantastic, technically fantastic, clever, and all the other things – the truth is unless you're going to spend a hell of a lot of money you're not getting him.
"So we do have to bring in players where we can see a little bit more into the future and say he's not quite there yet but in a year or two years he might become that.
"With the players that have emerged for us it has been an exciting year from that point of view."

- Gaultier & the French Lute School
Style bris Gaultier & the French Lute School Around 1600, Italian musicians abandoned their old style (renaissance) and established a new one (baroque). Somewhat later, probably around 1630, a new tuning (french tuning, d minor tuning or even baroque lute tuning) was invented for the lute by the circle of lutenists around le vieux Gaultier, or Gaultier de Lyon (Ennemond Gaultier, 1575-1651). The old (renaissance) tuning was based on the interval of a fourth. The new tuning introduced more thirds, enabling lutenists to write their music in a broken style (style bris), since it allowed more freedom for the fingers of the left hand. Soon the broken style gained great popularity throughout Europe. This tuning, incidentally, was already used by Mezangeau (late 16th century-1638), who may have been Ennemond Gaultiers teacher. It is difficult to separate Ennemond Gaultiers music from that of his cousin Denis Gaultier (Gaultier le jeune or Gaultier de Paris, 1603-1672). Nevertheless, their works are the most significant French contribution to the lute music of the period. They developed a new genre, the musical portrait, as well as the tombeau, which, in fact, they pioneered in the lute repertoire. Johann Jacob Froberger (1616-1667) was one of a number of composers of keyboard music, not only in France, who found inspiration in their music. Jacques Gallot (c.1600-c.1690), known as le vieux Gallot or Gallot de Paris, was a pupil of Ennemond Gaultier. His brother Antoine Gallot was known as vieux Gallot or Gallot dAngers. In addition to this minor confusion, there was a son of Antoine Gallot who was known as Gallot le jeune (?-c.1716).
Jacques Gallots compositions include several musical portraits and tombeaux, as well as dances such as courantes, sarabandes and canaries. Dufaut (Du Faut, Du Fault or Dufau), a pupil of the Gaultiers, was one of the most renowned lutenists of the 17th century. He travelled to England, Germany and many other countries, and was certainly a player of some character. Unfortunately little is known about his life. Charles Mouton (1626-c.1699) was probably a pupil of Denis Gaultier. The German lutenist Philipp Franz Le Sage de Riche (Le Sage=Weise in German - perhaps a relative of the great German lutenist Sylvius Leopold Weiss?) was a pupil of Charles Mouton, along with the daughter of the engraver Edelinck, who showed his thanks by engraving Moutons portrait after the painting in the Louvre by Francis de Troyes. Mouton was one of the last of the 17th-century French lute school.
Robert de Vise (c.1660-1725), who featured on Satohs previous CD (CCS 7795), was a guitarist, theorbo, lute and viol player, singer and composer. In 1716 he became official guitar teacher to King Louis XIV at Versailles. De Vises music reflects that of his contemporaries, such as Lully, Couperin, Marais and Forqueray, having a clearer harmonic structure than the music of his predecessors. Toyohiko Satoh Translation: Keith Freeman The Laurentius Greiff lute (1613) The lute used on this recording was built by Laurentius Greiff in Ingolstadt in Germany. His family was one of the many famous lute-making families in Fssen, including Maller, Frei, Tieffenbrcker and Gerle. We dont know the exact date of his birth or death. According to research by Dr. Richard Bletschacher (Die Lauten- und Geigenmacher des Fssener Landes, published 1978), Laurentius Greiff was lute maker at the court of Ingolstadt from 1600 to 1611. Given the inscription on the printed label in the lute Lawrentius Greiff, me fecit Ingolstadij, Anno **** the instrument was presumably made sometime between 1600 and 1611 in Ingolstadt. There is another hand-written label, the text of which is illegible except for 1613. This is clearly a repair label. The lute suffered a major accident which damaged the entire soundboard, as can be seen from the repair to the body. We believe this happened in 1613, so the soundboard must have been replaced in that year. The condition of the lute remained unchanged as an 8-course renaissance-lute: this is visible from the mark on the neck joint with the soundboard. We can therefore call this lute Laurentius Greiff 1613. The repair was most likely done by the maker himself, or by Johann Fitchtold I, also from Fssen, who was engaged in 1612 in stead of L. Greiff. Some time around 1670 the instrument was converted to an 11-course French baroque lute, a popular type in Germany. This involved replacing the neck with a new, longer and wider one and a new pegbox. The Laurentius Greiff lute stayed in this condition with a noble family in south Germany near Fssen until a few years ago. It is now owned by the performer on this recording. Restoring the lute to playing condition without losing the tiniest detail took the well-known Dutch lute maker Nico B. van der Waals four years. Needless to say, it is strung entirely with authentic gut strings made by Bernd Krschner (Germany) and Peruffo Mimmo (Italy). The beautiful sound of the lute on this recording provides us with valuable data on the sound of the historic lute. Toyohiko Satoh

His ensemble recordings with such noted musicians as Frans Brggen, Gustav Leonhardt, Nikolaus Harnoncourt and Elly Ameling brought consistent honours and awards. His formal debut in the Carnegie Recital Hall in 1982 made a profound sensation in The New York Times. He performed in many festivals such as the Vienna Musikwochen, Holland Festival, Toronto Festival, Lisbon Festival, and the Flanders Festival. Since 1973 Toyohiko Satoh is lute professor at the Royal Conservatory in The Hague, Holland. He frequently gives masterclasses in various European countries, such as in the Accademia Musicale Chigiana in Siena (Italy), the USA, Canada and Japan. Since 1981 he is also active as a composer. He has performed his compositions in several festivals, and made 2 CDs with his own compositions. Satoh leads the ensemble Alba Musica Kyo, and performs medieval, renaissance and early baroque music as well as contemporary music. A part of his compositions and a Method for the Baroque Lute are published by Tree-Edition in Munich, Germany.

Craigmont declares emergency after massive grain elevator fire
CRAIGMONT, Idaho - The city of Craigmont, Idaho declared a state of emergency in the wake of a massive grain elevator Sunday afternoon.
There were no reported injuries or deaths as a result of the fire.
Nezperce dispatchers received the first call of a fire at 2:25 p.m. in the Hinrichs Trading Company's garbanzo bean elevator and the first fire units from Craigmont arrived moments later.
The fire's spread prompted a massive interstate mobilization of fire and law enforcement personnel from Craigmont, Lewiston, Kamiah, St. Maries, Nezperce, Koosia, Ferdinand, Cottonwood, Asotin County and Lewis County sending fire, ambulance and deputies to the scene to fight the massive blaze.
The fire quickly spread to three nearby Columbia Grain bins, prompting local police to evacuate several blocks in the vicinity of the fire. A temporary shelter was set up in the Highland High School gym for displaced families.
Craigmont issued an emergency declaration at 3 p.m., followed at 9:10 p.m. by Lewis County.
Fire crews worked through the night to protect a nearby Columbia Grain office and storage building. Five structures in an area of approximately two city blocks were destroyed in the fire including three grain elevators, a flat house connected to one elevator and a maintenance shop.
The elevators contained garbanzo beans, wheat, barley and peas. No chemicals or fertilizer was stored on-site.
School was canceled for the city of Craigmont Monday due to smoke concerns.
An Idaho State Fire Marshall from Lewiston has been called in to investigate the cause and origin of the fire. The damage assessment is underway and there is no estimate yet of the cost of the damage done by the fire.
- North Idaho millionare's estate up for auction
- Many seniors, mentally ill patients losing affordable housing
- Demand for new homes increasing, as is need for skilled workers and land
- Pickup plunges over 200-foot cliff, killing driver
- Domestic violence suspect flees after high speed chase
- Two men charged with burglarizing home

Phone Number: 608-361-3861
Items Needed:
Thank you so much for giving teachers the opportunity to receive much needed supplies for their students. These are a few supplies that my classroom would greatly utilize.
1. Poster board=For language arts projects that we are continually working on.
2. Pencils=Many of our students are coming to class without the proper supplies because families can't afford to buy supplies. We use pencils everyday in every subject!
3. Electric pencil sharpener=We can't use our pencils if we can't sharpen them. Please help us by giving our classroom a new electric pencil sharpener.
4. Loose leaf paper=Many of our students don't have loose leaf paper. We all love when our papers are neat and orderly. Loose leaf would help achieve this goal.
5. LCD projector=As a teacher who values technology, a LCD projector would allow me to hook up my laptop on a regular basis and show my students information from the internet and also use technology as a tool to teach our population of students. I clearly know this is a HUGE request, but I thought I would try.
Anything would definitely help our cause.

These eye pencils are really wonderful. They are easily applied but they stick- I have oily skin and pencils I tried from other high-ended cosmetic marks did not make such a good job. Each pencil came with sharpener that works well so I did not loose much of the crayon when re-shaping it.
The color scale is large, so far I have four different tones: 3, 4, 7, and 9. Be aware that blue and purple color (3,4) are a bit darker then demonstrated here; I did not mind as bought my pencils in shop so I saw the real tones. Definitely will be buying this product again.

Any breeders you recommend?
Any breeders you recommend?
But Dave's right in advising agin' the American cocker in favour of the fb model (a k a "pocket rocket"). They're as lost a gundog cause over here on their home ground as the Clumbers and, conservatively speaking,
99 out of 100 Sussex...
Unfortunately, I don't see any there now. Keep checking back as spring nears & you can pm me if you want my opinion.
I can't overstate the fact that the split between field & show is greater than any other breed. They are absolutely different breeds & only the AKC would mistake the two. They differ in looks, temperament, health even their tail doc. The good news is that the field bred dogs are surprisingly consistent in their ability to hunt.
Some of the top trainers below can also help find a puppy.

"The bird hunter watches only the dog, and always knows where the dog is, whether or not visible at the moment. The dog nose is the bird hunters eye. Many hunters who carry a shotgun in season have never learned to watch the dog, or interpret his reaction to scent."
Aldo Leopold, Round River
That's very understandable, and I will keep looking for my next project. It's down to a cocker or a golden.
I dont mean to try to discourage anyone from getting the dog they want. I happen to believe that if you like the look of your dog, youll do a better job w/ it & get more enjoyment from whatever he does.
I just find there are way to many people who will try to pass a dog off as a hunting breed when the likelihood of them becoming even adequate is remote. Crackerds mention of the Clumbers brings back a bitter memory of the time I was tricked into gunning for a Clumber test. I only consented because Id never actually seen one hunt (and after a 2 day hunt test, I still havent).
As for your choice between a golden & a cocker, I feel compelled to mention that while I appreciate the cockers, I mostly enjoy them as other peoples dogs. The people who love them are the type of people who appreciate a spunky little dog who insists on doing things his way. Where a golden is biddable, earnest, and attentive, a cocker is mischievous, clever & willful. They are not for the guy who demands strict compliance but they do worm their way into your heart.

I have enjoyed hunting with English Cockers, and might consider one for myself some day. Have never seen an American one-other than the photos above-ever in the field. Do know about a few actual working Clumbers in the US, though.

Packed in jars that are decorated with red ribbon and candy canes, this sweet makes a festive gift. To crush the peppermints coarsely, tap the wrapped candies firmly with the bottom edge of any unopened 15- to 16-ounce can.
Leave a Review
End result as I make it is very good; I make it every year. However, I'm not totally sold on the directions as written - especially for people who don't work with chocolate or candy much. For one, it seems odd to me that they specify 110 degrees when melting the chocolate. Since they're refrigerating it to set and store, they don't instruct you to temper it, but why specifically tell you to take it OUT of temper? There's no reason to take the temp, just go until it just melts and you're fine. (In response to a previous comment, if it clumps, it could be because moisture got in, or it could be that you burned it. As soon as it's smooth you're good, don't keep heating it.) For another, the instructions that have the chocolate by weight in the ingredients but then the instructions in post-melted volume is a little annoying. Makes it much harder to gauge if you're trying to scale the recipe or alter the process at all. Personally, I temper the white chocolate. Just make sure you work very quickly to pat those peppermints on or it will set up before you get them to stick! If you find the ganache layer too soft, try cutting back just a little bit on the cream to make a firmer ganache. Given the sweetness of white chocolate and candy, I think you definitely want to go with a very dark chocolate - 70% at minimum; I usually use 72% but have also used 85%.
I wanted to make this recipe go further than 36 pieces (I have many families to gift!) so I didn't do three layers, I stuck with two. My error was that I had liked the idea of the dark chocolate layer on the bottom, white on top. I think because there was cream added to the dark chocolate, it never solidified as much as the white chocolate did. I'm sure this consistency would've made a great middle layer of chewiness!
Made several times. Works best when I follow the recipe exactly and fight my urge to "make it my own." This recipe is genius. If your white chocolate clumps and won't spread, it has "seized" because moisture has gotten in while melting. Perhaps the bowl or spoon was not completely dry or steam from the double boiler managed its way into the chocolate. Sometimes a touch of oil or cream will resolve this. Other times, you have to bust out the back up bag. I try to ALWAYS have a back up. ;) Hope this helps someone!
This recipe is always a big hit with my family and friends during Christmas! I follow the recipe all the way to the end, except for I substitute Peppermint Puffs-which are softer- instead of the harder peppermint candy.
I made this today with my daughters ages 8 &11 for teacher's gifts. The girls loved crushing the peppermint sticks and melting the chocolate (use a ziploc) and crush. The results looked professional, and I didn't have a candy thermometer FYI. However, the bark tasted saccharine sweet--the white chocolate overpowered everything. I think this may have been because I bought Nestle brand white chocolate and not Lindt or Baker's brand. That is all that was available at the store. I read the ingredients after I finished the bark and it contained sugar and palm kernel oils NO cocoa butter like Bakers, Lindt or Ghiardelli. I was upset because the label said premium white chocolate. I was in a hurry and should have read the label at the store.So DO NOT buy Nestle's white chocolate. I would also recommend putting 1/2 the peppermint pieces on the first layer as they all fall off at the end. I would just drizzle white chocolate next time on the last layer using less and I would use 2 tsps of peppermint extract. It was not pepperminty enough. Overall, just okay tasting it didn't hold a candle to Williams Sonoma brand, but at least the girls saw how it is made and we had fun. Try it, but heed my advice about the white chocolate.
This is always a hit over the holidays. I used candy canes instead and 1/2 teaspoon peppermint oil and 1/4 teaspoon peppermint extract (the latter is an alcohol solution). I've never reduced the cream but also find it's important to spread the bittersweet chocolate mixture as quickly as possible. Only criticism is that the final three-layered slab is fairly thick, and I prefer thinner, larger pieces of bark to thick chunks. You can actually go pretty thin with the first layer (and not worry about it being too flimsy) as it's going to be bulked up with the additional layers.
Followed recipe exactly. Easy and delicious, but the dark chocolate gets soft quickly at room temp. Is that because of the cream? Comments or opinions?
Based on other reviews, I omitted the cream - haven't seen a problem with the chocolate becoming mushy at room temperature. I changed the proportions of the recipe somewhat based on what I had: 1 11 ounce bag of Ghirardelli white chocolate chips made my bottom layer and 1 12 ounce bag of Ghirardelli semi-sweet chips (with only 3/4 tsp of fresh peppermint extract) made the top layer. I did NOT follow with a second layer of white. In retrospect, I think the crushed candy canes look prettier on a white background - so my next batch will use the 3 layers. Not inexpensive to make, but personal and very tasty!
Loved it! The peppermint was perfect for the holiday season. It was a little messy to eat, but other than that it was perfect!
I really love making this as holiday gifts for friends and family members and it is in my opinion very easy to make. I usually used crushed candy canes instead of the red and white striped peppermint candies though.

Fire Emblem has always been a favorite video game series of mine, and I enjoyed the OVA a lot. I understand that a lot of people are turned off by it only having two episodes, but... it's an OVA, not a series. The story is really only about Marth's (or Mars, in this dub) past, a precursor to the first Fire Emblem game for NES (now on the DS, also), while the rest tells a version of the beginning of the game. I think it gives a good insight into Marth's past and character, but I especially liked the parts that were directly (somewhat) from the game, especially the second episode with the priestess. To me, it... See full review
Out of all of the Pokemon movies out there, this is my absolute least favorite, right next to the Temple of the Sea one. I honestly can't even tell you what happened, I was bored out of my mind the whole movie, and therefore could not pay attention to what was going on. I don't know where this falls with the rest of the movies using the Hoenn characters, but to me it felt as though they were just trying to stretch Max and May until the fanbase got bored with them, which isn't really isn't saying much, because I hated Max since the first episode he appeared in. And Lucario himself is the most annoying... See full review
Medabots is an excellent anime that produces more than what most people would expect when looking at it. The characters are amazing and hilarious, with humor that is much different than what I normally see in anime. Medabots was able to grow its characters perfectly along with the story, making a perfect set up for later in the series when the plot picks up. The only two negatives I have for this series is the animation, which seems somewhat sub-par, and the ending was atrocious, definitely not how I thought it should have ended. But everything else makes up for it, in my eyes. The characters, and the story... See full review
Deltora Quest is normally considered a poor anime that is just a typical adventure series about travelling around a world that is now ruled by a great evil. To save the world, Lief, Barda and Jasmine must collect gems for the mystical Belt of Deltora. This sounds cliche, and most of the anime is cliche. However, I found this anime to be more enjoyable than most people think. It's best to watch with other people, like your family and a group of friends. I watched this with my sister, and for probably the first 15 episodes all we did was make fun of pretty much everything that happened. However, after a... See full review

Megadeth began in 1983 with its roots in thrash metal, a genre that its founder, singer/songwriter and guitarist Dave Mustaine helped pioneer. Mustaine's musical roots began early on listening to AC/DC and Led Zeppelin, and took form in the New Wave of British Heavy Metal when he joined Metallica in 1982. Megadeth emerged in 1985 at the forefront of the thrash/speed metal scene with their seminal debut "Killing Is My Business…And Business Is Good", and continued on a blistering path of albums and tours throughout the decade. The nickname "world's state-of-the-art speed metal band" and the critic-coined "intelligent metal" were often used to describe Megadeth's sound, referring to Mustaine's niche for angry, witty, intelligent lyrics about topics like politics, drugs and war, fused with aggressive, intricate guitar structures and a jazz-influenced rhythm section.
The 90's saw a change in Megadeth's sound with the polished and commercial "Countdown To Extinction" album, which skyrocketed them into multi-platinum success and MTV stardom. The incorporation of this new sound would be a trademark of every release to come, and would eventually earn them 9 Grammy nominations for Best Metal Performance and 7 platinum certifications.
After a brief hiatus early in the 2000's, Mustaine triumphantly returned with a comeback album, a heavy metal festival called Gigantour and a new display of prodigious musicians to back him. The band's legacy continues with 2009's critically acclaimed "Endgame", which debuted at #9 on the Billboard charts and 2010's multi-platinum "The Big Four: Live From Sofia, Bulgaria" featuring the "Big Four" of 1980's thrash metal — Metallica, Slayer, Megadeth and Anthrax.
In November of 2010, Dave Mustaine announced in the Megadeth Cyber Army chat room that Megadeth will soon be recording their 13th album in Vic's Garage (Megadeth's Studio in San Marcos, California). The album name and release date is yet to be announced. Megadeth and Slayer will join forces once again for the "European Carnage" tour in March and April 2011, and dates have been scheduled for the "Big Four" in summer of 2011.

text: Even amateurs, whose dogs have never been handled by a pro are generally still significantly influenced by a pro(s). It would be virtually impossible for an amateur to gain enough knowledge and technique from just deciding to start training his dogs one day to run FTs & be even a little successful. With that said & apart from extreme examples, I see no real separating factor to distinguish some amateurs from another. Sure we can distinguish the extremes, the totally pro-trained dog where the owner just shows up to handle the dog in an amateur stake versus the dog whose owner trains the dog virtually all the time & handles the dog in opens & amateur stakes.

Sri Lanka's savage smokescreen
Sri Lanka's former attorney general Mohan Peiris, who is now the senior legal adviser to the cabinet and who many Sri Lankans say is aiming to become the next Supreme Court Chief Justice, has made conflicting statements about missing journalist Prageeth Eknelygoda. The discrepancies do more than point up the government's indifference to Eknelygoda's fate and the mental anguish of his wife and two sons. Peiris's statements highlight the disregard with which the government views international opinion.

Well that was fast … mere moments after we learned that Jessica Simpson checked herself into the hospital late last night/early this morning we now learn OFFICIALLY that she has given birth to her baby girl — Maxwell Drew. Earlier today, Us Weekly reported the baby's name and birth weight so they deffo had the scoop. Jess has updated her official website with the happy news, click below to read all the deets about the birth of baby girl Maxwell.
Jessica Simpson is a mom! The star and her fiancé Eric Johnson welcomed daughter Maxwell Drew Johnson on May 1, she announced on her website. "Eric and I are elated to announce the birth of our baby girl, Maxwell Drew Johnson," she wrote. "We are grateful for all the love, support and prayers we have received. This has been the greatest experience of our lives!" The baby weighed in at 9 lbs. 13 oz. – and was 21¾ inches long.
And just like that … the eternal gestation period has come to an end. Now we know, for sure, that reports that Jess was naming her daughter Maxwell are true … and just when it seemed like Jessica Simpson might be pregnant forever, she goes and secretly births her baby right under our noses. All kidding aside, this is a happy day for the Simpson and Johnson families so let's send all of our love and congrats to the happy family. It may take some time but something tells me that we will be meeting Maxwell Drew sooner rather than later. The baby is here, y'all! Cigars all around!

Scottsdale, AZUSA
Hometown: New York City
July 15, 2010
The serenity of being on the water, the quiet and sound of an occassional fish plop, it is like a haiku poetic meditation, and you are out with nature.
Yes, of course.
Wow! Kayak/car camping. Now, I don't have to "lead it" anymore to make it happen, just sign up and GO! Is that heaven or what?
I hope you can join our paddle community. We are a family and singles friendly group, and often include our dog kayaker friends as well. In Arizona, there are places to paddle all year round, and our paddle club will be exploring many of the waterways throughout Arizona, and beyond. For the joy of floating, and the appreciation of venturing out to some relatively pristine and magnificent natural habitats. Any motor-less boat is welcome, though most of us use a kayak.
Float Types and Locations
We will be doing mainly flat water floats, all of which will be suitable for the inexperienced unless otherwise stated. For those with more experience and interest, there will be opportunities to do some swift water, class 1 and class 2 paddles. The book Paddling Arizona refers about 17 low elevation lakes, and about 20 high country lakes. During the warm season, we will mainly visit the more remote high country lakes, and in the cooler season the lower elevation rivers and lakes. A popular summer float in the valley would be moonlight paddles at several waterways.
Our visits to the high country lakes will often involve some car camping due to the distance from the city. Naturally, the car camping trips will be open to those who just want to spend the day with us, or find a hotel near our location. Included in our camping trips will be opportunities to hike, fish, do photography. We also plan some paddle camping trips, i.e., paddling with equipment to sites along the waterways.
While most of our trips are appropriate for beginners who may have never been in a boat, keep in mind that we are a social networking group, and our organizers and hosts are not designated with the responsibility to teach paddling or boating skills (See list of Responsibilities below). On most trips, those that are experienced may be able to share their knowledge with the inexperienced.
Funding and organization type
We are a private not for profit social club. At this time, we have no mandatory dues, and none of our organizers is paid for their services. This policy may at some point change, and if so members will be notified. We do accept voluntary donations that are not tax deductible.
Some events that we attend have fees, and members are required to make this payment that does not go to our club (e.g., fees associated to a river trip with a professional tour guide).
Our donation fund is (or may be) used for the following:
1. pay in advance for group campsites, to be refunded eventually by attendees
2. website fees.
3. signs for members to find us at events
4. donations to paddle friendly non profit organizations
5. miscellaneous fees required to maintain the fund
6. legal consultation
7. equipment that may be used by all members
When we have a sufficient amount of funds in our donation account, we may temporarily suspend accepting new donations. You will know whether the account is taking funds if the link on the home page is live or not.
If you do not have a boat, and want to join our activities, you can post your desire to borrow a boat in the comment section of any of our activities. We may ask if you borrow a boat from a member, that you give a $10 to $20 donation to Paddle Arizona. There are also several Kayak rental places in the valley, including the Hiking Shack, Arizona Outdoor Fun, and Sports Chalet. Rental fees may be about $30 per day. Occasionally we may have a special arrangement with a kayak rental place for discounts, and the rental place will be listed as a sponsor on our home page.
Paddle Club Bylaws
(Disclaimer, Responsibilities, Safety Guidelines, Other Guidelines)
Guideline development
The establishment of these bylaws are made by the group Organizer, often in consultation with co organizers, members, or legal consultants.Changes are made on occasion. Major may be mailed out to members, but it is your responsibility to review the bylaws periodically, to be aware of what they are, and to be aware of any changes.
By joining Paddle Arizona, you are making an agreement to the following disclaimer, safety guidelines, responsibilities, and other guidelines and policies.
Disclaimer & Assumption of Risk/Liability:
Paddling, like all sports have inherent risks and dangers. All paddlers (on behalf of him/her self and his/her minor children) are responsible for their own safety during Paddle Arizona floats. All paddlers voluntarily accept any and all risks of injury, harm, medical conditions, or property damage, assumes all liabilities, and waives any and all damages against Paddle Arizona (including its organizers, hosts, and members).
The primary purpose of this disclaimer, along with the purpose of the following safety rules and responsibilities and other guidelines, can be said to be to increase awareness, responsibility, and best practices in safe boating. It is in part a reminder to do your own due diligence in making any decisions about participation in club activities, as a responsible adult. Since we are not trainers, guides, instructors, and we are not a commercial enterprise, the club does not carry liability insurance, so disclaimers are also an effort to minimize liability (a secondary purpose). If you do not agree with the disclaimer, safety rules, guidelines, and policies, then don't join our group.
1. Paddle Arizona, as many groups organized through meetup.com, is a social networking group, and our organizers and hosts are not paddle instructors designated with the responsibility to teach paddling or boating skills, and are not paid employees. Organizers and hosts are NOT RESPONSIBLE for providing instruction about boating skills and safety.
2. The host of each of our Paddle Arizona paddling trip events has some responsibility to post a description of our proposed trips, with suggestions about when and where we will go, and how we will get there.
3. Paddlers who join us will be responsible for themselves, and parents are responsible for their minors. Member paddlers will communicate to their guests the paddle club safety rules and responsibilities contained on this page, including the "Disclaimer & Assumption of Risk/Liability".
4. All members are encouraged to be "Good Samaritans", to watch out for each other, a judgement call without expectations.
5. You have a responsibility to ask questions and to share any concerns you might have about your abilities with the group before you launch. If you are unsure of your capacity to safely participate in the paddle, it is your responsibility to determine whether you should participate in the float, or to find at least one other person who has sufficient experience and is willing to take you under their wing or assist you when needed.
As in all groups, conflicts will arise between the varying interests of members. We agree with meetup.com staff protocol regarding appropriate social communication and those forms of communication that are not acceptable as follows:
"We want the Meetup site to be an online community where people are respectful and respected.Threatening or harassing behavior on the Meetup site is incompatible with this and it is a violation of our Terms of Service."-MEETUP
Members are responsible to communicate disagreements in a constructive way, if possible in person or on the phone. Aggressive forms of communication, what folks refer to as "creating drama" (which may at times be hard to define) are discouraged. When possible, our core management team will give constructive feedback to members doing this.
Safety Guidelines
1. Most of our floats will be flat water floats on lakes and some rivers, and are normally suitable for persons who have little or no experience as paddlers.
2. We may label some floats as intermediate or advanced, and a description of required experience will be posted with the event. For example, night floats or moving water floats may be more suitable for those persons with prior experience and instruction. Members who lack experience will be responsible to gain experience or formal instruction prior to the trips.
3. Due to inherent hazards in water sports (weather conditions, sudden strong wind, capsized boat, low visibility, trafficking around larger and faster boats, being stranded away from the launch, etc.), there are REQUIREMENTS for equipment and behavior on all floats, and some floats have additional requirements. Members are expected to follow these requirements without reminders by hosts. Some of these requirements may be greater than those required by law. The following is required by our paddle club:
a. On all floats, members must bring a U.S. Coast Guard approved life vest (must be fitted correctly and be worn while paddling in the boat), AND must bring water or other "hydration fluid", food/snack.
b. On all floats, members will participate in the pre-float safety talk, usually on land prior to launch, occasionally on the water.
c. Members agree to remain sober while paddling, AND refrain from drinking just prior to (at least an hour) or during a float.
d. On night floats, additional requirements include appropriate lighting (minimum of a light stick AND waterproof flashlight), a whistle that works when wet, a 50 foot tow rope, flotation in the bow of the boat (foam block, flotation bag, etc.)
4. Additional RECOMMENDED equipment to take on all floats may include a two way radio set to our common channel (usually channel 4), set of dry clothes in a dry bag, first aid kit.
5. During long floats, especially river floats, the group members may get dispersed as some floaters float faster then others. It is important that each person is visible by some member of the group. On long floats, a relatively experienced paddler may be designated as the "sweep", and will remain behind the paddling group. On lake floats with a small shoreline, this may be unnecessary.
Other Guidelines and Policies
Exclusion of ATVs
Paddle sports are "non-motorized", and we often may go to remote area lakes to get away from the noise and mechanical aspects of life to paddle, camp, and enjoy nature. Most people like paddling because of this, and the serenity and quietude of the experience. While we often make noise through our chatter, the best moments may be floating into the silence of the moment. To keep our events in line with our appreciation of serenity and nature values, in September of 2014, our core management team and members decided to exclude ATVs from any of our camping events.
Firearm Guidelines
Some members have brought firearms to events when we have a camping event. Members may continue to do this, but we require that you leave your weapon in your motor vehicle, or discretely in your tent (if you must), and not carry at the campsite or on hikes.
Removal from Group Policy:
Meetup.com has stated about removing members, "if a member of your group is not getting along with others, or making you feel uncomfortable, than its probably worth considering. The important thing to remember is that as the Organizer, it's entirely up to you to decide when or under what circumstances to remove someone...Organizers may also remove members at their own discretion".
Paddle Arizona removal policy is inclusive of the policy of meetup.com. In item #5 in the responsibilities section on "communication", there is a discussion about the importance of respectful communication. If any member is making others feel uncomfortable, receiving complaints from other group members, or not getting along well with others, has engaged in threatening or harassing behavior at events or online communications, they may be removed. Other examples of reasons for removal include behaviors or activities that pose a significant safety risk to members of the group, and not following the bylaws of the group. The decision for the removal is entirely at the discretion of the Organizer, with or without the grounds for removal as stated above.
Some Compelling and informative extracts from Authored Narratives about Paddling
[From the Preface of Sea Kayaker, Deep Trouble by Christopher Cunningham]
A kayak puts you in touch with the elements. You feel the water on your hands, the wind on your face, and the sights, scents, and sounds of the coast surrounding you. The kayak feels like an extension of your body: it responds to your every move, and through it you can feel the water moving beneath you. For many of us a kayak is the means by which we can take in the full measure of the rich ...environment. But the environment where air, water, and land meet is notoriously variable, and the intimate connection a kayak provides with that environment leaves us exposed and vulnerable to forces that can easily overpower us.
Next morn, we swept with oars the Saranac, With skies of benediction, to Round Lake, Where all the sacred mountains drew around us, Tahawus, Seaward, MacIntyre, Baldhead, And other Titans without muse or name. Pleased with these grand companions, we glide on, instead of flowers, crowned with a wreath of hills. We made our distance wider, boat from boat, As each would hear the oracle alone.

So I have a window of about 2 hours on Sunday morning to go and hopefully harvest my first fall gobbler. My father inlaw has them scouted well for me as he know what time they come out and which direction they come from. It almost seems like the odds are in my favor for once but we all know how that goes. I am also going to borrow my father in laws Go Pro camera and mount it to the barrel of my shotgun or possibly a tripod next to me so hopefully I will have a cool hunting video for everyone to watch. Good luck to all other hunters.
Go Bison, beat USD!
