It's finally here: spring break. Yeah our school schedule is strange. The good news is that I have about a week and a half to seriously write a serious amount of serious code. (Seriously! And no, I haven't had anything to eat yet so excuse the excessive weirdness..)
Job's been kinda lame lately. They haven't been needing me when I don't have class and I've had to choose a few times work over school because if I don't work I can't afford school. (Can't get financial aid for some oddball reason...) It's seriously hurting my grades in all but one of my classes - programming of course, in which I am probably the most advanced student allowing me to attend or not at will and still make the grade and more.
I think I need to look into a more serious job for the summer with just a bit more pay than I'm getting for ISP tech support. =p I realize though that if I get a job I'll probably be moving and probably will be taking only a class or two at a time from then on because I wouldn't simply work three months and then quit.
Anyway, I said something about coding over the next week and a half. We have a number of very odd bugs in QuakeForge that need to get squished if possible. The catapult entities in DyerMaker's map only seem to work once before they get out of sync. There's still some weirdness with the X11 target and I have no idea what the hell we did to the sound engine. Fixing these things and getting fs_*path cvars and (for unices) /etc/quakeforge.conf parsed is all that stands between here and a release. Simple right?
Yeah, of course, simple. Don't Bet On It.

(Michael's refrain for the day)
As we left the apartment Ruth was relaxing with tea and toast (and washing jumpers). The day was grey and rather brisk; making the nose tingle and the fingers a bit chilled.
After seeing so much internal features of the castle, we wanted to see the extensive gardens surrounding. The lower section is the Stag moat park of the Castle Royal gardens. It was like a forrest after the winding path through from the roadway we started from. The autumn colours were stunning on the many trees that we could look through up to the Castle. The path lead right along the boundary and through a tunnel before looping back to one of the entrance paths. We could then go to the Summer Palace and gardens
As we walked back through the castle grounds, we experienced how busy Prague can be on a weekend. It was hard to get through some places, so in the peak season it must be almost impossible.
The Lobkowicz museum was highly recommended in my trusty Lonely Planet. Ruth and Mark had visited once I passes on this info. They agreed it was the best so far and although we are up to pussy's bow with museums, we visited. It was a very special museum as its operated by and has the audio tour by the family whose heritage and collected treasures are displayed after twice loosing everything and then having restitution. The Lobkowicz heritage is easily traced back to the 13th C and is associated with all the royal families and families of power over the centuries. The family escaped to the USA in 1939 and all property was confiscated by the Nazi's. they had restitution and then the communist regime also took all possessions. After the Velvet Revolution in 1989 they once again have been able to start reclaiming property. Martin was 10 when fleeing in 1939 and does a small narration about his memories of riding his bike door the corridors of a 200 plus room palace under the scornful eye of his ancestors. His son William is the driving force with the museum and had a wonderful personal style in taking you through the palace on the audio tour; as if personally taking you through the house. One ancestor (the 7th Prince Lobkowicz) was a benefactor of Beethoven and was critical in enabling home to be free to compose. Beethoven dedicated two pieces to the Prince- the 5th symphony and Pastoral 6th. Original Mozart and Beethoven scores were on display. My heroin was a 16C wife of one ancestor who had 22 children
The day remained shrouded with some fog but the gardens walk I was taking us on was fine in these conditions. The place has steep embankments made into colourful highly terraced gardens, from which were visited the Wallenstein palace ( which houses the Czech Senate) and gardens. A strange mixture of items including an a airy with 3 eagle owls, a false stalactite grotto, copies of bronze statues stolen by the Swedes and a massive fishpond and fountain with the largest carp I have ever seen.
Our journey meanders along the river, some more Cerny baby statues, yellow penguins aiding water navigation, and the John Lennon Wall. Through. Though nothing remains of the original art and messages which started the wall at death due to,weathering and the Maltese Embassy who owns the wall originally cleaning it off, it remains a long colourful expanse of wall with paintings, song lyrics and messages of peace.
Our final destination was the German Embassy gardens to see another Cerny sculpture- a car on 4 human legs made to commemorate all the German refugees that camped out in gardens before the wall came down. We could see view this through a children park fence, so time to play after the serious work of art viewing. Ruth and I had fun (see photos)!!
A concert at the Rudolfinum nearby to finish off our time in Prague- a quintette playing a selection of classics featuring Dvorak. Many of my favourites were included, e.g. Dvoraks Humoresque, Pachelbel's Canon. Dinner was so good at Tri Stilletto last night we returned for dinner. Just as good as last nite. The best meals in Prague.

Pilot Arrested at Local Airport Tuesday
Posted By News On @ 2:52 pm In Today's Local News | Comments Disabled
Homeland security officials tell KCII News that a pilot was arrested at the Washington airport, after police found marijuana on board his plane. Angelo Ethimiatos reportedly had engine trouble when he landed in Washington Tuesday, as he flew from California to the East Coast. Homeland Security asked police to check his license, but he didn't have one. A drug sniffing dog found 55 pounds of high-grade marijuana on board.

Yankee ingenuity isn't confined to New England, and you can find it in abundance at Swan Corporation, the midwestern manufacturer of Swanstone solid surface materials. "Everybody says they're different, and we aren't different from other people in that way," chuckles Jonathan Fore, the company's Director of Marketing. "But there are some major differences between what we do and everyone else in our industry."
That's a bold claim, but Fore has some solid evidence to back it up. While other surface materials – countertops and the like – are a poured or cast product, Swanstone is the only line of compression molded solid surface materials. The product is produced at extreme heat and pressure, which produces some interesting benefits.
On the design side, it helps insure that its decorative aggregate is evenly dispersed throughout the material, which opens the door to options such as one-piece aggregate solid surface double bowl sinks. "We can actually mold any shape we want as long as we have a die for it – and our kitchen sinks can actually match the countertops," said Fore. "Our lavatory bowls can match the vanity tops."
Compression molding also leads to greater chemical resistance, heat resistance, and increased strength for the fiberglass reinforced product line. For instance, while acetone will dissolve the typical polymer, it does not damage Swanstone. The product is molded at 300° so it is ready for hot cookware in the kitchen. And because it's fiberglass reinforced, the product can boast extreme impact resistance, even with much reduced thickness. "I always say that fiberglass is to solid surface what rebar is to concrete," says Fore. "It makes it just incredibly strong."
Greenguard Certified
Manufactured via a low-VOC process, Swanstone is Greenguard Certified for Children & Schools. As a result, its shower walls, counters, and other materials are often speced for health care facilities, college dorms, and military housing. The company recently upped their green component with a new color palette called the Our Planet Collection. It's made with a soy resin blend and includes fine particle post-consumer recycled glass. At present, it's only offered in 4 colors, but it has opened the door to designers, who are also noticing the other green products in the company's line.
"Everything we sell is made in Centralia, IL, except the granite kitchen sinks," said Fore. "We are very centrally located, and anything within 500 miles of Centralia qualifies for LEED proximity to point of origin credits."

Description: Location of Calhoun LNG
Description: Conceptual site plan for Calhoun LNG
The two storage tanks are capable of storing 160,000 cubic meters (5.7 million cubic feet) of LNG.
The vaporization and separation system consists of LNG transfer pumps, vaporizers and a re-condenser/separation system. The facility will be designed to separate natural gas liquids from the LNG, thus allowing the terminal to take higher Btu LNG.
Calhoun LNG will tie into existing port utilities such as power, water, wastewater and fire protection systems.
A pipeline connecting to the Calhoun LNG terminal will deliver natural gas to major pipelines in the region. The pipeline is a 27-mile, 36-inch pipeline designed to transport one billion cubic feet per day of natural gas from the LNG terminal. It will connect with nine major pipelines including five interstate and four intrastate pipeline systems.
In April 2009, the U.S. Coast Guard issued a letter of recommendation in support of the project. The letter expressed the Coast Guard's conclusion that waterways near the terminal site could handle vessel traffic near the proposed facilities.
The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC), which must give its approval before construction can begin, had not done so as of August 3, 2010.

A Look at GLORY 14 So Far
- Written by Dave Walsh
GLORY 14 Zagreb is still a ways away, taking place on March 8th in Zagreb, Croatia, being headlined by Mirko "Cro Cop" Filiipovic vs. Remy Bonjasky, but it is the first big GLORY event of the year and should be an exciting one. Much of the card is still veiled in mystery, but then again, we have a month and a half before the event happens, which is a lot of time. What we do know is that there will be a Middleweight Contender tournament on the card.

Bacterial infection questions
Hello all! My fiancé has a 90 gallon flow through breeding system, a 75 gallon tank, 65 gallon tank, 2 18 gallon tubs, 2 10 gallon quarentine tanks, and a 15 gallon tank. He had gotten this new stuff 'smart start', and on the bottle it said to use after each water change. He started using it on the 90 gallon flow through system and the 65 gallon tank. Long story short they got a bacterial infection and about 85% of the fish that were in those two systems. We took the remaining fish and put them in a 30 gallon tank and treated them (way more cost effective to do this way than treating all 90 gallons and all 65 gallons). All the other tanks that this stuff wasn't used on are fine, no death no nothing in them. So we are linking it to that stuff, but no proof for it. After moving all the fish, we drained the 90 gallon system, there seems to be little 'worms' in the tanks. They were green when tanks had water and are brown now that they are dried out. The 65 gallon tank has live plants so we didn't drain it, but have not had filter running and we have been doing 50-60% water changes on it. I guess this is kinda jumpy but just trying to get all info out there before I ask my questions... Which are: would the bacteria live in the 65 gallon with no fish in it? Should filter be running? How long can the bacteria live in a dry tank? How long should we leave them dry? Should we clean tanks and get all brown worms out before refilling the 90 gallon system? Thanks soo much for any and all help. My fiancé is the kinda guy who is just giving up because of all the death, so I am trying to get as many answers as I can... Thanks again :-}HB :-}
Smart Start is a bacteria supplement for the filter. It has nothing to do with bacteria fish get and is not even the same kind of bacteria. When fish get a bacteria, 9 times out of 10 a gram negative bacterial medication is needed, like Maracyn2. There are others, as well. Antibiotics can also destroy your filter system.
If you want to keep the cycle alive in the tanks without fish, you need to start adding some pure ammonia to the tank. Make sure it contains no scents, detergents or dyes.

Question would be were these tanks established or were you guys starting all of these tanks from scratch?
Then, were all of them started together or some prior to others?
What were the symptoms of this bacterial infection?
If the tanks were already up and started I wonder why you would need this product?
If you were doing water changes, how much in a percentile amount and how often?
Ammonia burning causes secondary infections and these become bacteria based.
Chlorine burning causes secondary infections and these become bacterial.
I'm guessing there was a bit of chemical imbalance that scorched the fish and opened them up to a bacterial type of infection.
Do you have any readings to review to determine if that may be the case?

Video feature: Princeton 'Art of Science 2014' highlights beauty in research
Posted July 22, 2014; 12:00 p.m.
The "Art of Science 2014" exhibit in the Friend Center on the Princeton University campus showcases 44 images of artistic merit created during the course of scientific research. More than 250 images were submitted by undergraduates, graduate students, faculty, postdocs, staff and alumni representing over 25 departments. This year, for the first time in its seven-year history, the competition also includes video. Twelve videos were chosen from more than 50 submissions.
"So much of science and engineering involves video or animation these days that it was inevitable we would include it in 'Art of Science,'" said Dan Quinn, a graduate student in mechanical and aerospace engineering who is one of this year's exhibit organizers.
Images in the exhibit span research topics including fruit fly gestation, tropical fungi, silicon crystals in computer chips, Tanzanian wildebeest and crystallized Vitamin C. The video below offers a cross-section of the artwork on display.
The physical exhibit is free and open to the public from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m., Monday to Friday through April 2015, in the Friend Center.

Eliza Dushku: True Liar
Most of us can remember Eliza Dushku's roles as the hot vampire hunter, Faith, on Buffy the Vampire Slayer, or as the sexy tomboy turned cheerleader in Bring it On. But only a true Eliza Dushku fan will remember that she played the daughter of Jamie Lee Curtis and Arnold Schwarzenegger in True Lies. While the Governator was still in office, talks about True Lies 2 had to be kept hush-hush but Eliza says she's down if director James Cameron puts it together. Let's hope Arnold can keep away from the maids long enough to get this one done. You can follow Eliza Dushku on Twitter for updates.

Before we meet today's author, I want to announce that the winner of the drawing for Cowboy for a Rainy Afternoon, by Stephen Bly, is:
bousmama@ . . .
Congratulations! I'll contact you today for your snail mail address, and we'll get your book to you right away. I encourage readers to keep commenting and/or subscribe at right in order to participate in future book give-aways!
Now let's meet novelist Sandra D. Bricker, author of Always the Baker, Never the Bride (Abingdon Press, September 2010).
Tell us about yourself, Sandie.
I've been publishing in both the Christian and general market for years with novels for women and teens, magazine articles and short stories. With 11 novels in print and 5 more slated for publication through 2012, I've started to carve out a niche as an "author of laugh-out-loud comedy for the inspirational market."
I was an entertainment publicist in Hollywood for 15+ years for some of daytime television's hottest stars but, when my mom became ill in Florida, I left Los Angeles to provide care
. . . and begin this new phase of my life as a novelist!
Please tell us five random things we might not know about you.
-- At the age of five, I announced to my family that I was going to be a writer when I grew up. Of course, what I meant was that I'd figured out how to string the cursive letters together to write my own name, but . . .
-- I am an advocate for animal rights, and I have a special affection for dogs everywhere. I volunteer and raise funds for various animal rescue groups, and my dog Sophie is a rescue adopted from Lost Angels Animal Rescue here in Tampa.
-- I am an ovarian cancer survivor! (Hu-ah!)
-- I was a faithful viewer of General Hospital for nearly 20 years before I finally went to work for actors on the show in 1984.
-- I have kissed John Stamos!
Wow. It certainly hasn't been a boring life so far, has it?
Please tell us a bit more about the plot of Always the Baker, Never the Bride.
When Jackson Drake hears about this local baker who has won a prestigious award for her wedding cake artistry, he tells his assistant to be sure and include her in the pastry tastings scheduled at his new wedding destination hotel the following week. And for Jackson, that particular day has started out badly with two workmen trapped in a broken elevator and a delivery of several dozen 300-thread count bed linens in the wrong size delivered and abandoned in the lobby.
But when the arrogant baker he met a week prior in Roswell stumbles into the dining room with a platter of pastries and a bucketful of orders, he knows for certain: It's going to be a really rotten day. What it turns out to be instead is the catalyst for a love affair that will change his life forever.
What is it about your lead characters that will make your readers care about them?
Well, I hope that Emma Rae is charming and goofy and lovable. And Jackson is just about everything we all hope for in a romantic hero. But it's the influence of their crazy families that really make them who and what they are. I think everyone can relate to that.
Yes, I loved the family members in your book, Sandie.
Why will readers enjoy your novel?
Because they'll find themselves laughing. And a merry heart is excellent medicine!
If you were the casting director for the film version of your novel, who would play your lead roles?
On the big screen, I think Jennifer Garner.
And George Clooney would rock the movie!
On the small screen, I think I'd like to see Katherine Heigl.
And Dean McDermott.
Okay, then, I'm totally voting for the big screen. Gotta love that George Clooney!
Share one hard, cold fact about writing with my readers. And then share one warm, fuzzy comment about writing with them.
Hard, cold fact: You can't be a writer just by dreaming about it. You have to sit your butt in a chair and actually write something. An entire something, from start to finish.
Warm, fuzzy fact: When a reader tells you that you've touched something in them, and you start to cry . . . That's allowed. This is your dream.
Oh, yeah. That's the best.
Choose an inanimate object to represent you. Explain what you have in common with that object.
Then I would have to say a gel pen. Smoothly relying on words to fulfill its purpose.
What is the last book you read that moved you?
I'm currently reading Eat.Pray.Love. I'm not finished with it yet, but I love the whole idea of turning your back on an everyday life which is mundane, stressful, and everything in between in order to just stop and marvel at the world through new eyes.
What are you working on now?
I have Love Finds You in Carmel-by-the-Sea, California coming out with Summerside Press in October.
I am finishing up the devotional that I'm working on with you, Trish!! Delight Yourself in the Lord . . . Even on a Bad Hair Day is a devo we're co-authoring with Kristin Billerbeck, Debby Mayne and Diann Hunt. The five of us have really bonded through this project, and I think we're going to reach women right where they are . . . while raising funds for ovarian cancer research. What could be better than that?
Agreed. The entire experience has been a blessing and great fun. As a matter of fact, I should post the link for the silly trailer we threw together, with the help of mariancreates.com.
Where else can readers find you or your writing online?
At my weekly blog: sandradbricker.blogspot.com
And at my Web site: www.SandraDBricker.com
The book can be purchased online via the following buttons:

I calmly looked at him, and replied:
"Blue, I just realized that since my taxes just went up I didn't have any money for a shoe shine today."
His eyes got real big and he got quiet as this little piece of reality sunk in.

2016 Vintage Auburn Tigers Football Calendar
Price: $21.95
From the back cover: Feel your heart pounding with the big bass drum! The glorious Auburn autumn Saturdays march back to life with this archival collection of twelve football program covers from Tiger games gone by. Each month presents a 50-yard-line seat to historic games and treasured memories. Printed on FSC-certified paper with soy-based inks, these faithfully restored images suit dorm and dens alike. When the year is over, the archival-quality pages remove easily so you can proudly display your favorites in a standard 11"x14" frame. About the Images
The images featured in this calendar are archival-quality reproductions of the covers of the actual souvenir game programs that were sold at the games many decades ago. In some cases the images have been digitally repaired and restored where creases, tears, marks, or other damage would have otherwise distracted from the appreciation of the artwork as it appeared at that time. Some images have been cropped and/or resized to fit this format.
Collector's Series
This calendar is part of a collector's series featuring archival-quality reproductions of home and away game souvenir programs. Each year brings 12 different cover reproductions from actual programs that were sold at the stadiums during the early 1900s to the 1960s. We will be introducing other products featuring some of the most popular images; however, this unique format of 11"x14" frame-ready prints will almost always feature different, authentic cover images each year.
Officially Licensed
This is an officially licensed product. Part of the proceeds of each sale goes back to the school.

This fall's offerings of dance performances have an international flavor, as well as featuring the talents of Rhody-grown dance groups. With FESTIVAL BALLET PROVIDENCE, you get a bit of both — company dancers and choreographers represent more than half a dozen countries. Now in its 31st season, this organization has developed from a small studio on the edge of Rhode Island College's campus, with one or two annual productions, to a full-fledged studio and dance school on Providence's East Side that brings a full season of classical and contemporary ballet to our state.
After Festival Ballet made the leap to 825 Hope Street in Providence in 2001, artistic director Mihailo (Misha) Djuric suggested that they showcase some short pieces in a biannual series titled Up CLOSE, On HOPE. Beginning in 2003, in the 90-seat studio space (now christened the Leach Grand Studio Black Box Theater), Up CLOSE has become such a popular event that both the fall and spring programs have two extra performances this year. Fall dates are September 27, October 4, November 8, 9, 15, and 16 (401.353.1129 or festivalballet.com).
In the fall program, world premieres by company dancer and frequent Up CLOSE choreographer Mark Harootian and local choreographer Colleen Cavanaugh will appear alongside the balcony scene from Romeo and Juliet, the New England premiere of Viktor Plotnikov's Moments, a reprise of Gianni DiMarco's Amphibious Love, a piece by Boston Ballet's Boyko Dossev, and a piece or two by Djuric.
"It's a very nice mixture of new works and ones in repertory," Djuric explained in a recent phone conversation. "For anyone who hasn't seen the company before, I think they'd be surprised. And Up CLOSE is so personal — it's so exciting to see the dancers from a different perspective. I'd say to anyone who hasn't yet attended, 'What are you waiting for? You are missing a lot!' "
Audiences would also miss a lot by not taking advantage of Festival's main-stage events: Giselle, the classic tale of love, betrayal, and forgiveness which Festival performed in 2002, will be presented October 24-26 at the VMA Arts & Cultural Center (1 Avenue of the Arts, Providence); and the holiday favorite The Nutcracker is at Providence Performing Arts Center (220 Weybosset Street, Providence) December 12-14.
Another dance troupe that does an annual Nutcracker is ISLAND MOVING CO., setting their interpretation at Rosecliff in several rooms of the Newport mansion and moving the audience from scene to scene (November 29-December 5; 401.847.4470 or islandmovingco.org). More site-specific choreography will be showcased at Island's biennial Open for Dancing program (September 17-21), with new works by Monica Bill Barnes (based in NYC), Andrea Haenggi (based in Switzerland and NYC), and local choreographer Nikki Carrara to be performed at Ballard Park, Fort Adams, Bowen's Wharf, and a Newport beach. Island's encouragement of choreographers continues on October 3, 10, and 17, with workshop showings of works-in-progress, by Gabriel Otevrel, Kelly Ann Sloane, and Adrienne Westwood, semi-finalists in the company's national Choreographers Competition.
FUSIONWORKS DANCE COMPANY will present their annual fall concert on November 14 and 15 at Sapinsley Hall at Rhode Island College (401.946.0607 or fusionworksdance.org). The second performance is an "unwrapped" version, meaning that there are short explanations of each dance before it is performed; a "completely unwrapped" version includes a pre-show reception.

Seperation of church and state only means the state doesn't tell the church what to do. The "state" was founded on Christian principles and is to follow the will of the people. This is our whole problem, everyone has determined the opposite.[/QUOTE]
Actually, it was our most influential Founding Father, Thomas Jefferson who wrote about the importance of the seperation of Chruch from State. It was penned in a letter to the Danberry Baptist Chruch regarding that there be no state sponsored church. An it means that the chruch does not tell the state. Because there is no state sponsored chruch! Jefferson was a Diest in belief, a child of the Enlightenment. Also, consider that in Jefferson's Bible, he makes no reference to God. What he does discuss in his bible is the importsnce of the teachings of the Rabbi Jesus as a foundation for freedom. However, Jefferson does NOt recognize Jesus as a son of a god, therefore Jefferson was not a Christian.

Family: Sylviidae, Old World Warblers and Gnatcatchers view all from this family
Description ADULT MALE When breeding, has blue-gray upperparts; blackish wings have gray-white tertial edges (white in our other gnatcatchers). Tail, from above, is mainly black, but with white tips to outer feathers; from below, tail is mostly black, and white feather tips are much less striking than in Black-tailed. Note black cap and indistinct pale eyering. Underparts are gray. Nonbreeding male has gray, not black, cap. ADULT FEMALE Similar to nonbreeding male. JUVENILE Similar to adult female.
Dimensions Length: 4 1/2 -5" (11-13 cm)
Endangered Status The Coastal California Gnatcatcher, the subspecies of the California Gnatcatcher that occurs in the United States, is on the U.S. Endangered Species List. It is classified as threatened in California. The reduction in numbers can be attributed to development pressures on its coastal scrub habitat in southern California down into Baja California. Some of its historical habitats have been outright destroyed (literally paved over) and others have been altered and fragmented. Fires started by military activities, livestock grazing, and pollution have destroyed vegetation that the gnatcatchers depend upon. Predators such as raccoons, foxes, crows, snakes, and other species eat the gnatcatchers' eggs and young, which can have a devastating effect on a small population.
Habitat Rather scarce, with entire World population restricted to Baja California and southern California, where it favors coastal chaparral with sagebrush.
Observation Tips Learn to recognize its preferred habitat to find this species.
Range California
Voice Calls include a sequence of rather plaintive, kittenlike mewing notes that rise and fall; song comprises similar phrases.
Discussion Similar to, but duller overall than, Black-tailed, with which, formerly, it was treated as conspecific; also separated geographically and by habitat. Sexes are dissimilar.

Noted filmmaker to lecture, Nov. 28
Posted November 15, 2006; 11:54 p.m.
Austrian avant-garde filmmaker Peter Kubelka will discuss his work at noon Tuesday, Nov. 28, in the Stewart Film Theater, 185 Nassau St.
Kubelka is renowned as both an innovative filmmaker and a distinguished film theorist. An Old Dominion Fellow in Visual Arts at Princeton this fall, he is offering a course on cinema and the related arts.
Kubelka has been an independent filmmaker since 1952. His "Metric Films" preceded and laid the ground for structural cinema.
He also has worked in cooking, music, architecture, speaking and writing. Kubelka communicates through lectures that also use nonverbal elements "to free our worldview from being the exclusive property of language."
A co-founder of the Austrian Film Museum in 1964, Kubelka was its curator for many decades. In 1970, he co-founded the Anthology Film Archives in New York and designed the viewing space, the "Invisible Cinema." In 1980, he started the music ensemble "Spatium Musicum" with which he performed in his "Nonverbal Lectures."
His lecture is sponsored by the Council of the Humanities and the Program in Visual Arts.

Found plenty of the new repaint wave over at Target in Beaverton this morning. I cleaned out the Clones since I have friends who wanted a few of them but there were still plenty of the others left.
I've heard reports from other collectors in the area that this wave has been hitting all of the Target stores over the weekend so its a safe bet they will continue to do so the rest of the week if you're looking for these.
Nice to be caught up for a while.

Ira Fuchs receives leadership award
Posted September 12, 2000; 02:13 p.m.
Ira Fuchs, Princeton's former vice president for computing and information technology, has been selected by EDUCAUSE to receive its 2000 Leadership Award.
The award recognizes extraordinary effectiveness, influence, statesmanship and lifetime achievement on both individual campuses and in the wider higher education community.
Fuchs, who left the University in July to become the vice president for research in information technology at the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, was chief information technology officer at Princeton for 15 years.
During that time, he established a world-class networking environment at the University and provided it with vital, innovative leadership. Fuchs continues to advise Princeton President Harold T. Shapiro on information technology matters on a one-day-a-week basis.
Fuchs also has been active nationally in major technology initiatives. He was the co-founder and long-time leader of the BITNET international academic networking project. He also has provided leadership to the worldwide higher education community as chairman of the board of the Corporation for Research and Educational Networking, as chief scientist and board member of the JSTOR (Journal Storage) Project and through his work to develop the European Academic and Research Network. He has served on the boards of trustees of the Usenix Association, the Internet Society and Educom, and on corporate advisory boards at Apple, IBM and NeXT.
The award will be given to Fuchs Thursday, Oct. 12, at the EDUCAUSE 2000 conference in Nashville.
Shapiro described the honor as "well-deserved recognition not only for his many significant contributions to Princeton but his leadership in the field of information technology more generally."
The award comes with a one-time, $5,000 scholarship that will be given in Fuchs' name to a student majoring in computer science at Vassar College.
"It's a great honor to receive this prestigious award," Fuchs said.
EDUCAUSE is an international, non-profit association whose mission is to help shape higher education through the introduction, use and management of information resources and technologies in teaching, learning, scholarship, research and institutional management.

Last Thursday, I had the exciting opportunity to ring the closing bell of the New York Stock Exchange with representatives from a number of other companies who made the list of Corporate Responsibility Magazine's 2013 100 Best Corporate Citizens List. Intel ranked #5 on the list this year – and the point I'm particularly proud of – is that we are one of only a handful of companies that have been on the list each year since it was first started 14 years ago. In addition to our #5 overall 2013 ranking – we also received top sub-category rankings in a number of categories, including Employee Relations (#1), Corporate Governance (#1), Philanthropy (#5), and Enviroment (#6). Other companies in the top 5 this year included: AT&T (#1), Mattel (#2), Bristol-Myers Squibb (#3), and Eaton (#4).
Before the actual bell ringing, I also attended an event at the exchange to discuss trends in corporate responsibility – including the ability of ratings such as this one to drive performance improvements by focusing companies on tracking, measuring and publishing their performance data. We also heard from researchers from MIT and BCG regarding findings from their study 2012 Sustainability and Innovation Global Executive Study and Research Report which looks at the business case for sustainability and corporate responsibility investments and actions. In the study, they found that 61% of the business executives surveyed said that sustainability strategies were now necessary to be competitive, up from 55% in 2010. 37% reported that they had profited from their sustainability efforts, and more than half said they had changed their business model in some way to better take advantage of sustainability opportunities, whether it was making changes related to their target market, products/services offerings, revenue or cost model, value chain, or organizational structure.
Newark Mayor Cory Booker also spoke at the event – and emphasized the opportunity for governments to work with businesses differently to solve the challenges cities currently face. He noted that governments don't just need financial investments and donations from companies – infinitely more valuable are the skills and expertise that they can bring to collaborating on new solutions. It's something that we are committed to at Intel across our corporate responsibility strategies – from our Intel Labs group's engagement on sustainable cities, to our cross-Intel work on education transformation.
One of the challenges I see for sustainability ratings in the coming years will be how to effectively capture this shift toward business model change and system-level engagements of companies. While measuring and encouraging transparency around basic environmental and social performance data, policies, and programs will continue to be important – especially in light of demands for better accounting of supply chain environmental and social performance – ratings firms will need to work with companies and other stakeholders to develop better methods for capturing the longer-term positive societal impacts and business value created through more integrated approaches to corporate responsibility and business management.

By Bobby Harrison/NEMS Daily Journal
JACKSON – Rumors are rampant that Gov. Phil Bryant will call a special session in the coming weeks to take up legislation to lure a company to the West Point area.
"I have heard some rumblings, but nobody has told me anything official," said Rep. Tyrone Ellis, D-Starkville.
Sen. Nancy Collins, R-Tupelo, and Rep. Donnie Bell, R-Fulton, said they also have heard rumors, but nothing official.
Bryant's office did not comment Wednesday.
He is expected to call a special session before July 1 to deal with funding the Division of Medicaid. The Legislature ended the 2013 session earlier this month without funding Medicaid because of a disagreement on whether to increase the number of people covered by the federal-state health care program.
The Republican governor has said he would not call a special session to deal with Medicaid until there is an agreement reached.
It is expected that any special session dealing with an economic development project – perhaps an automotive manufacturing supplier – would not include Medicaid.
Various published reports, including a tweet from Sen. Will Longwitz, R-Madison, cite April 29 as the date of the special session. Others Wednesday said they had heard other dates, including early May.
Rep. Jerry Turner, R-Baldwyn, said he had been hearing rumors about an economic development project since the 2013 session began, "but I don't know anything specific."
Laura Hipp, a spokeswoman for Lt. Gov. Tate Reeves, said, "It would be inappropriate for the lieutenant governor to comment at this time."

Apache Lake VOLUNTEERS WANTED !
Help build habitat for fish at Apache Lake to improve your fishing!
Apache Lake Fish Habitat Improvement Project
Work Schedule
Attached is the Apache Lake Fish Habitat Improvement Project (ALFHIP) work schedule from November 18 December 17, 2006. During the highlighted work days an Arizona Game and Fish Department work foreman will be at the Apache Lake central work site to coordinate activities (main Marina area, directions attached). Volunteers and/or volunteer groups must schedule work dates by calling coordinator Jim Warnecke at least one week prior to coming out and helping with the project. If no volunteers are scheduled one week prior to a particular date, that work day will be cancelled.
Work duties for the ALFHIP will involve moving construction materials (tree limbs, cement block, pallets) from a fenced storage yard to the lakeshore nearby, then transport of these materials across the lake to the pre-selected habitat development site. Items are then off loaded lakeside and materials are moved to exact locations for actual construction (building). There will be some light-duty machinery available for moving materials to and from the shoreline, but a majority of items will need to be moved by hand due to the proximity and loading weight of the pontoon boats/barges involved. Weights include: wooden pallets-20-30 lbs/ea., cement blocks- 20 lbs/ea and trees/limbs- 10-20 lbs/ea.
Construction of the habitat units or Pisces Pyramids will involve stacking 3 pallets together to form a tee-pee shape on the dry lakebed. Cement blocks are then added (as weight) to the center of this tee-pee and finally trees and/or tree limbs are affixed to the sides of the pyramid. All materials are attached together using 3 foot zip-tie straps as structures will be secured to the lake bottom using duckbill anchors and galvanized cable to ensure that the pyramids will not float off site once the lake rises.
Work hours will be from 8 am to 5 pm. Volunteers are asked to bring their own beverages, meals and appropriate clothes to suit the winter weather. Bring your own work gloves, although AGFD will have gloves available at the work site in addition to bottled water. If youre planning on staying overnight, camp sites will be available in the marina area and the Resort concessionaire has promised a discount on rooms at the motel ($50/night) and meals at the restaurant (10% off), just mention you are volunteering for the project. Volunteers should feel free to bring along their own boats for human transport across the lake and/or for time out fishing recreation later on.
Remember, your volunteer time and effort not only helps build new habitat for largemouth bass, smallmouth bass, bluegill, black crappie and channel catfish but also counts as match for the Department to receive more Federal Sportfish Restoration dollars. Come out and be a part of this worthwhile effort for your fisheries resources!
ALFHIP coordinator:
Jim Warnecke
Region VI Fish Program Manager
Directions to the Apache Lake Marina area and Work site:
From the north- Take Hwy 88 (from Globe) or Hwy 188 (from the Beeline Hwy 87) to Roosevelt dam and the junction with Hwy 88 (Apache trail). Head southwest on the trail (dirt) for approximately 4 miles before coming to the Burnt Corral campground road. Continue on the trail for approximately another 4-5 miles before coming to the Apache Marina and Resort turnoff. Take this road west for one mile to the lake; our construction site is at the end past the restaurant.
From the south- Take Hwy 88 out of Apache Junction for approximately 34 miles past Canyon Lake to the Apache Marina and Resort turnoff. Take the road for one mile to the end to the work site as above. Note: At the top of Fish Creek hill, the road turns to dirt for the remaining 7 miles until the turnoff. The winding switchback road down Fish Creek hill is not for the faint-of-heart and only experienced mountain drivers should attempt navigating this narrow 2 lane road.

The European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA) has published final guidelines on remuneration of alternative investment fund managers (AIFMs).
The rules will apply to managers of alternative investment funds (AIFs) including hedge funds, private equity funds and real estate funds.
Non-EU AIFMs who market funds (using passport agreements) to EU investors will also be subject in full to the guidelines after a transitional period.
AIFMs will be asked to introduce sound and prudent remuneration policies and organisational structures which avoid conflicts of interest that may lead to excessive risk taking. Stronger governance of how fund managers are paid will ultimately lead to improved investor protection.
Steven Maijoor (pictured), ESMA chair, says: "These guidelines will help promote prudent risk-taking by fund managers and help align the interests of both fund managers and investors. Making sure that these provisions on pay are applied in a common and consistent way is key to increasing investor protection and ensuring a level-playing-field in the alternative fund sector across the EU."
The Alternative Investment Fund Managers Directive (AIFMD) establishes a set of rules that AIFMs have to comply with when establishing and applying a remuneration policy for certain categories of their staff. ESMA's guidelines further clarify the directive's provisions. In developing these guidelines, ESMA co-operated with the European Banking Authority in order to ensure alignment of guidance on remuneration policies across financial sectors.
The key elements of the guidelines include:
AIFs' internal governance
• The governing body of each AIFM has to ensure sound and prudent remuneration policies/ structures exist and are not circumvented;
• AIFMs should select the type of staff for which a remuneration policy is put in place and be able to demonstrate according to which criteria this selection occurred;
Categories of staff covered
ESMA's remuneration guidelines apply to identified staff whose professional activities might have a material impact on the AIF's risk profile. This includes:
• Senior management, risk takers, control functions; and
• Any employee receiving a total remuneration that takes them into the same remuneration bracket as the aforementioned categories of staff.
Types of remuneration covered
• For the purposes of the guidelines, remuneration consists of all forms of payments or benefits paid by the AIFM, of any amount paid by the AIF itself, including carried interest, and of any transfer of units or shares of the AIF, in exchange for professional services rendered by the identified staff;
• All remuneration should be divided into either fixed remuneration (payments or benefits without consideration of any performance criteria) or variable remuneration (additional payments or benefits depending on performance or, in certain cases, other contractual criteria).
Both components of remuneration (fixed and variable) may include monetary payments or benefits (such as cash, shares, options, remuneration by AIFs e.g. through carried interest models) or non-monetary benefits (such as discounts, special car allowances etc).
The guidelines will be translated into the official languages of EU. Within two months of the publication of the translations on ESMA's website, competent authorities should confirm to ESMA whether they comply or intend to comply with the guidelines by incorporating them into their supervisory practices. They will apply from 22 July 2013, subject to the transitional provisions of the AIFMD.

Another great blind chose would be MaGee Products. I bought 5 last year for our club. They are cheaper also.
Looks like quality to me I think I will buy one and I would trade my butch green blind for one of these if There any takers
Look who's talkin. You seem to do the same. You copied Zinger and sold it cheap, Business 101? Originally GU wingers were built really cheap but I will say the quality has improved greatly, since now you've sucked people in.
Butch Green is a great guy and builds a great product. I wont even look at a GU blind and I am in need since I left my Butch Green blind out in the field and it got stolen.
Mr Davis I find your business practice as well as your attitude offensive
Dear Steve Shaver,
I apologize if you find my business practices offensive. If you don't mind me asking, where did we error so we can get better meet your expectations next time? Were we offensive in producing first class training products and offering them at more affordable price points? Or was it providing world class customer service for every product we sell? Perhaps it was the 24 hour turnaround time on all Gunners Up orders or the same day repair policy? Maybe it was the deeply discounted launchers we offer to clubs as raffle items so they can host trials and buy new equipment? Did we do something wrong/offend when we donated 10's of thousands of dollars in product and cash to national retriever organizations for scholarship funds, relief funds and to help offset the costs of holding and running their national events? Maybe our offense was something as simple as we brought competition to the market place and offered an alternative to the status quo?
Gunners Up works extremely hard to be a trusted friend/source for the retriever community, a steward and sponsor of the retriever sports and operate a small/slightly profitable business at the same time. Sometime those three objectives don't necessarily mix but we try very hard to maintain a good balance. If we can get better, I would love to hear about it. If you're just pissed for no particular reason then let's just move on.
All the best!
Richard Davis
Official Launcher of the 2005, 2006,2007,2008,2009 & 2010 HRC Fall & Spring Grand!

We are happy and proud to announce, that there is the latest 5.45 version of PRO100 software available. The new version features in brief are:
Please contact your reseller to obtain the upgrade. Watch and subscribe "PRO100 CHANNEL" for more infos.
We are proud to annonce the newest version of our PRO100 software. We have made a huge effort for PRO100 to become even better furniture and interior design software.
The new PRO100 offers a truly realistic rendering in a real time and an incomparable work speed and we belive it is is still probably the most userfriendly furniture design software in the world.
PRO100 is the most userfriendly 3D interior and furniture design software. Pure woodworking and furniture software. Pure kitchen design software. ... not another worse or better CAD adaptation...
Demo version
PRO100 is useful in all those stages of furniture manufacturing, where the user wants to introduce modernizations making use of computer technology. You can use PRO100 to create furniture "from scratch", create your own catalogs, plan the supplies, arrange interiors and support your direct sales - in all of these stages the program gives you an instant visualization, different views, calculations and reports. That's why our software turns out to be useful for small companies and showrooms as well as for huge manufacturers that own shop chains and big factories. Easiness of use (most of the operations can be done with a mouse), high speed and constant possibility of introducing changes into the project make life much easier for furniture manufacturers and retailers.PRO100 Jasno in a few words
PRO100 is a completely independent application. Working with the program is like creating a real furniture - the user operates on furniture elements (pieces), arranging them in the virtual space as if they were real. You can create your own catalogs of pieces, ready furniture and materials or take advantage of the catalogs included in the program. PRO100 is an all-purpose tool for producers and designers of any kind of furniture - kitchen furniture, office furniture, house furniture, non-standard furniture, garden furniture etc ... ( there are even fireplace designers among our customers). Most of the design operations are beeing realised quickly and easily just with the mouse - just as if you were playing with building blocks. Another convenience are the tool bars that contain some of the most useful commands, e.g.: move to, flip, align or rotate. Each element of the project has its own properties window, where you can specify all the characteristics: name, dimensions, type of material, assignment to a specific report group, price, etc. All of these features make up a powerful tool that help the designer in his work. The designed interior can be seen from seven different views (including the perspective view). In each view the program can automatically show the dimensions of the interior. There are five view modes: wire frame, sketch, colors, textures and full, realistic visualization. In each mode you can switch on different effects, like: semitransparence, contours or shading. All changes are immediately reflected in all modules of the program - list of elements, calculations and all visualization modes, including photorealistic. Arranging a room takes less than 20 minutes. At each stage of your work you can freely modify all modules, add and remove handles, shelves or whole furniture and change colors of the entire project or a part of it with one mouse click. All these features make PRO100 a perfect tool to work with. After approving a design, owners of Nowy Rozkroj can automatically export all pieces and optimize the plate cutting. That's how you can design an interior and print ready cut maps without moving away from the computer!
Years of experience in developing PRO100 with direct feedback from our customers made it clear, that there should be a special version for direct selling. This version - called later the showroom version or dealer version - is meant for outlets. It differs from the full version just by the lack of possibility to modify furniture catalogs (by modifying a catalog we understand adding new elements and changing the existing ones). The showroom version is meant for outlets of big furniture companies, that create catalogs of their products and send them to their retailers together with furniture (of course, the mother company must have at least one full version of PRO100, so that the designers can prepare the catalog). The showroom version contains all other features of the full version (in particular, it allows the dealer to quickly create furniture that doesn't appear in the catalog, but is essential to furnish a non-standard room).
System requirements
We are pleased to announce that our furniture and interior design software works smooothly on Windows Vista powered computers.

How to prepare financially for 2013 despite fiscal cliff
LA CROSSE, Wis. -- - On Jan. 1 the Bush-Era tax cuts expire, which means almost all Americans are in for a substantial tax increase.
But how do you come up with a good financial plan if you don't know whether Congress will come up with a deal to prevent the tax hike?
Financial experts said step one is don't panic.
Washington's inability to come up with a deal is leaving many Americans in a lurch when it comes to preparing financially for 2013.
"There's this uncertainty so no one can plan ahead, whether it be for taxes or for investments or for benefits, so there's too much that's unknown," said Tom Brewer, managing principal at Brewer Investment Group.
While it's nerve-wracking not to know what to expect, financial experts said there are a few things you can do to be prepared, starting with something as simple as staying calm.17952974
"It's too premature to get panic stricken over what it's going to look like," said CPA William Collins of Collins and Associates.
"Once again you have to not panic," said Brewer.
Secondly, prepare for the highest possible tax increase should we go over the so called fiscal cliff.
"It's conceivable in my mind I've been advising my clients that they should plan on about a 5 percent increase in your taxes," said Collins.
Also, make any changes to your investments you can now that take advantage of the lower 2012 tax rates.
"If there are strategies your tax adviser is recommending we recommend you do it this year. The capital gains rate is going to go from 15 percent up to 20 percent so if there are stocks in your portfolio that you're looking to sell consult your tax adviser. Now might be the year to implement that change in 2012," said Brewer.
Finally, it's a good idea to hang on to more cash and steer clear of the traditionally safe investment options.
"In the past people have bought up government debt, government treasury bills and treasury bonds, but once again with the low interest rate and uncertainty those are not your safest investments right now," said Brewer.
It's important to remember that if Congress doesn't come up with a deal by the first, they can still come up with a plan in the following months and make it retroactive, which basically means it will apply for all of 2013.
Further complicating the tax situation is a series of tax breaks that have to be re-approved every year.
Because of all the fiscal cliff negotiations, accountants said they're not sure the breaks that are usually passed every year will be re-instated for 2012 taxes.
These include the educator deduction, the tuition deduction, the sales tax credit and the alternative minimum tax credit.
Financial experts recommend you check in with your tax adviser to make sure you know what tax credits you can count on when filing this April.

overall. The 400-yard medley relay of Dattels, Daly, Shelley and Lippert was
timed in a season-best 3:31.22 while the 800-yard freestyle relay of Dattels,
Nyboer, Lippert and Ficke finished in 7:06.76.
The best individual effort was recorded by Dattels who ended 10th in the
