As far as I saw the covers of german weekly magazines I won't post any, because they are disrespectful in their subtitles...and within the magazine stories. I hope I find a gracefully one, which I can buy and post here.
Thanks, that's perfect. We're looking for respectful ones, not tabloids, etc. Tribute covers.
And the Lord asks me what I did with my life,

From EW.com -
This Week's Cover: Whitney Houston's life and legacy
Whitney Houston's tragic death on the eve of the Grammy Awards was a shock to the music community and the world. Her fans and colleagues have struggled with her legacy in the days since her passing, reconciling her one-of-a-kind talent with her battle with substance abuse and troubled personal life. In this week's issue of EW, we explore Houston's life, her influences, and how she will be remembered.
At the Grammys, Houston's impact was apparent. Bonnie Raitt, Diane Warren, and other major music industry figures spoke to EW about her influence on their own work and on the music business as a whole. "She broke the glass ceiling for female R&B singers to cross over," Raitt said.
Houston's music is what will live on. From "How Will I Know" to "I Will Always Love You," we've compiled an ultimate Whitney playlist, featuring 25 of Whitney Houston's best songs, as well as a collection of her life in photos.
For more on Whitney Houston and our complete Grammys coverage, pick up the new issue of Entertainment Weekly, on stands this Friday.

Whitney Houston
Before she was a six-time Grammy winner, before she became a glamorous pop diva who influenced generations of power-voiced belters and shattered sales records in the music industry, Whitney Houston was a shy, slight girl known as "Nippy" to her family in Newark, N.J.
"She was everyone's dream daughter. She was sweet. She sang in church," photographer Bette Marshall, who shot Whitney as a teenager, tells PEOPLE in this week's cover story, which chronicles the life of the troubled singer. Houston died at 48 on Feb. 11. "And you knew she'd be a superstar."
But Houston's ascent to superstardom was often rocky, and she struggled with her public image as America's Singing Sweetheart.
"She was in pain from living almost a double life," says a record exec who worked with Houston for many years. "She wanted to be down with her community. That's who she really was. But because of her career, she also had to portray this pure pop princess in gorgeous gowns, singing songs the white community adored."

My blog today is a bit of a diversion from the norm. But I want to share with you my personal recollections of Whitney Houston. The news of her untimely passing has shocked us all, and I am just heartbroken when I think about the young Whitney I knew before she became Whitney Houston, the Superstar.
I had the pleasure of working with Whitney during her high school years when she was a teen model. I was a fashion editor at Seventeen magazine and then Fashion Director at YM. She was a delightful, sweet, wonderful person, and all of us who worked with her loved her. She was truly beautiful inside and out. Anytime we were booking models for a photo shoot, we would always say, "Let's book Whitney" "See if Whitney is available" "Whitney would be great for this story." She was never a diva and she was always professional. She showed up on time and made our jobs easier by doing her best in front of the camera. She never complained if days ran long and cheerfully did whatever was expected.
I remember a photo shoot in the Hamptons on one of those dog days of summer in August. It was 95 degrees and we were photographing back-to-school clothing. Whitney, wearing wool socks, boots, wool trousers and a sweater, was asked by the photographer to climb up a very high sand dune. She did so for quite some time and kept smiling all throughout that steep climb. She never uttered a word of dissent, even though the heat was brutal. She posed on that dune until the photographer had his money shot. That was Whitney: agreeable, kind, eager to do her best and a real trooper. I can picture her sitting on a studio floor in between shots, her schoolbooks open on her lap as she studied. She was not only diligent and hardworking but she was also fun to be around. Whitney loved to laugh and when she smiled she lit up the room. I traveled with her to the Dominican Republic for another fashion shoot and have vivid memories of her laughing and splashing in the sea—always sunny and smiling and happy.
Here are a few photos from Whitney's modeling days in YM, starting in August 1981
None of us knew that Whitney's godmother was Aretha Franklin or that Dionne Warwick was her cousin. Whitney was modest and never bragged about her megastar connections. We did know that her mother was Cissy Houston, renowned gospel singer, and that Whitney sang in her church choir. But it wasn't until one day at a photo shoot when Whitney told us that she was going to sing with her mom that night that we discovered what a rare talent she was. Cissy Houston was performing at Roseland, and Whitney was slated to perform one song on her own. It was her first solo performance in front of a big NYC crowd and she was understandably nervous. She asked if we could all come and support her…and we did. I remember standing in the crowd near the stage and watching Whitney emerge from the wings and walk slowly onto the stage after her mom had introduced her. She tentatively took the mike, smiled at the audience, closed her eyes and started to sing "Somewhere Over the Rainbow." She was magnificent and that beautiful, clear voice resonated throughout the room. The crowd went wild as so many more crowds would in the years to come.
There were occasions when Whitney and I would take the bus together to our homes in New Jersey. I lived in Montclair at the time, and we would head to Port Authority after a day at a studio. We would order ice cream cones and sit laughing and talking until it was time to board the bus. I would sometimes drive her to her home in East Orange, and on one of those days, knowing that she was about to graduate from high school the following month, I asked Whitney what her plans were after graduation. I can picture her sitting in the passenger seat of my car, her books on her lap as she turned to me and said, "I really want to be a singer. Like my mom. I just love to sing. But I'm scared and nervous I won't make it. Do you think I have a chance?"
Here was this unbelievably talented girl who was about to thrill the world with her magic questioning whether she might make it in the music industry. Of course, neither of us could even imagine at the time the incredible impact she would have upon the music and entertainment world. I looked at her and said, "Whitney, you are a beautiful person and you have an amazing voice. If you can't succeed, I don't know who can. I'm pretty sure you'll make it, Whitney." She smiled her sweet, lovely smile and thanked me for the words of encouragement.
And just three years later, in 1986, I wept tears of joy as I watched her on TV accepting her very first Grammy. "You made it Whitney!" I thought.
Today, it's tears of sadness and my heart goes out to her mother and daughter, to her mentor, Clive Davis, and to all her friends and family. I will always treasure the very special memories I have of this beautiful, loving person and, dear Whitney, I hope you know that we will always, always love you.

As you all know I love Philmont. I found this poem on the internet. It is penned by author James Roberts. As I read the poem it took me back… back to the Silver on the Sage, the Country that I love.. Philmont.
When I walk in the forest
In my backyard
During the day,
I feel the breeze against my head,
And I hear birds chirping,
And squirrels squeaking,
And rabbits coming right out of the bushes,
And deer walking slowly on the underbrush.
And, when night comes,
I look up at the night sky,
And see so many stars,
That they remind me of New Mexico,
Where that special place
Will always be
Forever in my mind,
The place I remember,
As Philmont.
It was Philmont Scout Ranch,
Where Boy Scouts
And Venturers
Come from all over the country
To go into the backcountry,
And loving the wilderness
That comes with it.
Philmont is for backpackers,
Who love to hike
And see the wilderness
And all its glorious beauty,
And for those who
Love nature
And cannot get enough of it.
Philmont is one of those
Special places for me,
Something that I will always remember,
And something
I can never let go of.
I remember Philmont quite well,
With all the wilderness,
And not a single person in sight.
I remember it well,
And I can share with you
Its unique description.
God's Country,
As many people have called it,
Was inhabited by many,
Such as the Pueblo Indians,
Who inhabited the land for centuries;
The Spanish conquistadors
Who were looking for God, glory, and gold;
Kit Carson and the mountaineers,
Who shot and trapped their game;
Lucien Maxwell,
Who was in charge of the Maxwell Land Grant;
And Waite Philips,
Who owned the place,
And gave it to the Boy Scouts of America.
Philmont is more than the
People who just hiked the trails;
It is the experiences there,
And the wildlife
And the wilderness itself
That makes it truly unique.
How I remember the mountains,
And all of their rocky features,
Covering the horizon,
Making an excellent view when
You summit them.
How I remember the T-Rex track,
that monstrous foot
That once belonged to a monster
That lived long ago.
How I remember the wildlife,
All the birds that sing in the morning,
And all the crickets that
Chirp at night,
And all of the owls that hooed
In the darkness
And the coyotes that howled at the moon,
And the deer that
Wandered in the sunlight,
Feeding off the meadows,
And eating all of the grass,
Looking so graceful
In their wild herds,
With no fear of humans
How I remember the rivers,
That streamed through the mountains,
And all of their fresh,
Cold water,
That refreshed one
After he took a drink.
And how the meadows grew around them,
With their excellent beauty.
How I remember the meadows,
Filled with wildflowers
Of every kind,
Such as daisy fleabanes,
Oxeye daisies,
Sneezeweeds of every sort,
Lilies of every specimen,
Vanity Fleabanes,
And Black-eyed Susans,
With all sorts of flowers
To even dream of,
Making a landscape
That looked like a painting
That someone like
Claude Monet
or Vincent Van Gogh
Would paint
To his desire.
How I remember the vegetation,
The beautiful trees that existed,
Including the aspens,
And the pines,
And the oaks,
And the birches,
And the maples,
And the chestnut trees,
And the firs,
And the spruces,
And the beautiful trees
That hold every sort of wildlife
How I remember Mt. Baldy,
And the great view from up top
The great rocky mountain,
The Rocky Mountain of the Rocky Mountains,
With the greatest climb,
Up to 12,000 feet,
In which there was everything to see,
For I remember the great view,
All the beautiful mountains beneath us,
And the trail that took us down,
And the towns that one could see from
Far away,
And all the people walking in the distance,
Making their way up top,
Or looking like periods from so far away,
That they seemed to be about their daily lives.
How I remember the Tooth of Time,
That crazy molar that existed
Atop of a rock,
That we climbed at 4: 00 am,
Just to see the sunrise,
But we made it at 10,000 ft,
And saw the morning sunrise,
And how I remember seeing Cimarron,
The village right below,
And Base Camp,
Where we would be heading that morning,
And all the traffic that was there,
As well.
The sunrise was so beautiful,
From what I could see,
I saw the glowing first light,
And then the big ball of fire,
Creeping into the night sky,
Lighting the world,
As morning came to be.
How I remember the tall tales,
Of those who were there before us,
Such as the loggers
Who worked for the Continental Logging Company,
Who worked for days and nights,
With little pay and little rest,
And not much food to eat;
The Pueblano Boys who started their first union,
Who fought for their rights,
But then the company went out of business
In 1932,
And there was nothing left for them;
The Miners who worked for French Henry,
Who dug the gold out of Aztec Ponil
In 1922,
And suffered many hardships,
As many of them died,
For they had nothing left,
Or even to live on;
The ranchers who lived at Clarke's Fork,
Who branded all their cattle,
And branded all of their horses,
In 1951,
And ran their business better
Than any of the miners or loggers did,
For they all had a better share
Than any of their predecessors;
The railmen who worked on the railroad,
Throughout the 1870s,
Who worked day and night,
Assembled many,
And suffered hardships,
And many deaths;
And the Risches,
The pioneers,
Who came down in 1898,
Who wanted freedom
And a new life,
And started a settlement
On land of their own.
All these people had big dreams,
But they all suffered,
And they all made it,
Somehow or another.
How I remember the mini-bears,
Those things that steal your food,
For they are aggressive little things,
And they steal your food no matter what.
What are they, you ask?
Well, they're the rodents of the forest
And of the meadow,
Whether they be the chipmunks in the ground,
The squirrels in the trees,
The mice in the abandoned cabin,
The rabbits in the burrow,
The weasels in the den,
The gophers in the ranch,
The prairie dogs in the desert,
The groundhogs in the forest,
The rats in the trees,
The beavers in the river,
The muskrat in the pond,
Or the raccoons in the treetrunk.
The always like to steal your food,
No matter what,
So you better look out,
Or they will surely get you.
How I remember the Red Roof Inn,
That awful thing they call a loo,
Where smells worse than B.O.
Cause one to throw up,
And where defecation and TP,
Go inside the pit,
Where decomposition is
Good for the environment,
And the ecosystem,
They claim,
And where there are walls back-to-back,
And there are two-person pilot planes,
And there are no walls
And exposure to the wilderness;
For they are the most awful
But necessary
Piece of hardware out there.
How I remember the BO,
Since we could not wear deodorant,
And we had to hide the smellables,
For how much I knew we stank,
And we had limited showers,
It was Jack London calling us,
And I felt just like him,
As he was inspired
With 'Call of the Wild'.
Philmont is God's Country,
'Tis a place I shall never forget,
With all of its beauty and majesty,
There is nothing that could beat it,
And it is special due to its experience,
And everything that happened,
I loved every minute of it,
And go back to God's Country,
Once again,
For God is always watching over us,
As we go to that beloved place
That we call Scouting Paradise.

Alternate name: Steelhead
Family: Salmonidae, Trouts view all from this family
Description The rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) is a species of salmonid native to tributaries of the Pacific Ocean in Asia and North America. The steelhead is a sea run rainbow trout (anadromous) usually returning to freshwater to spawn after 2 to 3 years at sea. In other words, rainbow trout and steelhead trout are the same species. The fish are often called salmon trout. Several other fish in the salmonid family are called trout, some are anadromous like salmon, whereas others are resident in freshwater only.
The species has been introduced for food or sport to at least 45 countries, and every continent except Antarctica. In some locations, such as Southern Europe, Australia and South America, they have negatively impacted upland native fish species, either by eating them, outcompeting them, transmitting contagious diseases, (like Whirling disease transmitted by Tubifex) or hybridization with closely related species and subspecies that are native to western North America.
Dimensions Up to 3'9" (1.1 m); 42 1/8 lbs (19.1 kg).
Endangered Status Sea-run populations of the Rainbow Trout, known as Steelheads, are on the U.S. Endangered Species List. Certain naturally spawned populations in California and Washington are classified as endangered, and other naturally spawned populations in California, Idaho, Oregon, and Washington are classified as threatened. The populations of these and other trout and salmon have been declining for years because of habitat alteration caused by logging, diversion of water from the streams and rivers the fish spawn in, development along those waterways, pollution, and the building of hydroelectric dams. Removal of trees by loggers and developers exposes the streams to sunlight, often warming the water to lethal temperatures. Erosion from logging roads and from cleared lands fills the water with sediment, which can also make it uninhabitable; and runoff from rooftops, roadways, and parking lots contains substances that can contaminate the water. Conservation efforts have been opposed by logging, agricultural, and development interests.
Habitat Ocean or bay shallows, Estuaries, tidal flats & salt marshes, Rivers & streams, Lakes & ponds.
Range Great Lakes, New England, Mid-Atlantic, Rocky Mountains, Southwest, California, Northwest, Eastern Canada, Western Canada, Alaska.

|God I love America !! pmflyfisher, i could not agree more
Whisky Dick,
Good comments
Us U.S. flyfishers would get in a lot of trouble in UK with the land owners owning the land to the middle of the river adjacent to their lands.
We would have to be completely reprogrammed.
God I love America !!
|Whiskey Dick
Moonlight,Well i am on both sides of this coin, When i take a vacation that involves fishing i hire a guide and i also guide in my home state. Why do i hire a guide?, well lets see, when i take a fishing vacation it is for one week,that includes 2 days to travel to the location and to travel home,that leaves 5 days for fishing. Now do i want to waste an other day going round the local fly shops to find out what is working and where to fish?, Or should i just ask local anglers who i am positive will tell me all the best spots to fish .The last 5 trips i took(over the last 6 years) you needed a boat to access the fish, Now how am i going to get my boat to B.C. or Alaska or the Bahamas or across the country,that would take up more days of my trip. I could always rent one and float a river i hve never floated before,that would be interesting and probably waste another day.But then you can not always find boat rentals can you. I hire a guide so he can take care of providing the transportation on the river,explain what to use,show me where the fish should be holding, provide food for the trip and also to tell me about the local area and its history.If that makes me a "dumb bastard" then as a famous film star once said "i ams what i ams" . As for why i became a guide thats easy,if some one is willing to pay me to be on the river for a little less money than what i can make behind a desk "Show Me The Money",Anyway i like helping "Dumb Bastards" catch fish,how not to drown by wading in too deep water and educating them about ecosystems, how fragile our river systems are and the "leave no trace ethics".
pmflyfisher,i can not speak for all of Europe but i was born and raised in the U.K. and the big difference is the laws of the land. In the U.K. if you own the land you own to the middle of the river which means there is no access to the rivers with out permision. Under those laws it is a lot easer to regulate how many people are fishing the waters and keep the fishing as "pay to play" which has pros and cons.
Just mt .02cents worth,brian
This is an issue that seems to follow us around everywhere we tread in the west. Proliferation of outfitters and guides is uncontroled in most locales and every time its brought up that there may be a need to do something about this growth it just seems to create more of a land rush to get a permit to grandfather in another small time operator.
Obviously everyone needs a job of some type to make a living why so many want to go outfitting and guiding is beyond me. Just about anything you do that requires that much tme and energy would return more for your investment!
I think part of its got to be the BS stories about the great Guide mystique of old. Never was able to figure why showing other dumb bastards how to catch a fish was better than catching them yourself. I think it has its roots somewhere I can't quite get to. oh well in this economy any job is a good thing too bad these particular jobs detract from such a great passtime.
Yes I am worried also.
I can see more of this type of controlled fishing on blue ribbon waters. If it will preserve them for the future I am for it and will pay the extra costs and limitations on when I can fish them etc..
Similar to what Europe has implemented on the majority of their waters I beleive. Could be wrong but most of the blue ribbon waters there have more controls than the US.
This was bound to happen and I'm not surprised it did not happen years ago. In the early 80's these very issues came up on the over crowded Madison River. At that time the guides realized that unless they got some type of order on the river there would be restrictions on their line of work. The guides did a ok job of keeping out of trouble for awhile but as the sport grew and there were more flyfisherpersons coming in from all over needing equipment, lessons and guides things once again broke down as they have now on the rivers further west.
My question is where should our sport go now? Have we become over commercialized? Are people in the sport for the wrong reasons?
The sport to me has become just another form of eco tourism driven by slick advertising to buy this because it's better and come fish some new place somewhere on the other side of the world and we will take care of every need for you. Yes the sport has helped make awareness to watershed needs around the world but at the same time we are over loving these same watersheds now.
I worry about the quality of flyfishing as many who are now in control of the FF market now are into the quanity of the sport.

See below yesterdays press release on new proposed restrictions on the famous Beaverhead and Big Hole rivers.
I have heard these two rivers are heavily floated by the guide services as our several of our midwestern rivers. This can make for very crowded unpleasant fishing conditions and over use on the river and fish resources. Another example of over use of our rivers with out controls. This may be the first one like this in the US.
I have mixed feelings both ways on this issue but have seen one world class steelhead, salmon, and trout fishery here in the midwest which the drift boat guides have impacted negatively over the last 15 years. Seeing one drift boat after another floating a smaller river and contending for space to fish is just not a quality fishing experience for the drifters and the walk in fisherman.
Montana sued for new fishing restrictions
Outfitters file over managed fishing on Beaverhead, Big Hole rivers
Associated Press Jan. 21, 2002
BUTTE, Mont. Fishing outfitters filed suit Thursday, Jan. 17, challenging the state's plan to restrict outfitters and out-of-state anglers on two of the state's most famous fishing rivers.
The lawsuit by the Fishing Outfitters Association of Montana asks a state district judge to rule on the validity of the state wildlife agency's management rules for the Big Hole and Beaverhead rivers of southwestern Montana.
The regulations, adopted in February, are an effort to address crowding along the two popular trout rivers. The rules reserve certain days, river stretches and access points for use by Montanans, while setting aside times and places for out-of-state anglers or outfitters.
They also continue a 1999 moratorium on new outfitters working the rivers, and limit the number of clients outfitters can serve during peak fishing periods.
The association contends the state Department of Fish, Wildlife and Parks did not follow rule-making requirements and exceeded its authority in adopting the restrictions. The state Environmental Quality Council considered that issue in December and rejected it.

Are you no longer doing your weekly meet-ups at Panera? I went to meet some of you at Panera on Wed and was disappointed to not see anyone knitting there (other than myself). Have you stopped doing these?

Social Studies Adolescence Education (Grades 7-12)
Master of Arts in Teaching (MAT)
This adolescence education program is for students who have an undergraduate degree in a social science and seek certification to teach that subject in grades 7-12. Students who complete the degree are eligible for initial certification (see Teacher Certification for more information).
Applicants are expected to have an undergraduate major in the social sciences or a similar program. The major should have included at least 30 credit-hours of undergraduate work in one area of concentration (e.g., anthropology, economics, geography, history, political science or sociology) and 30 additional hours in the distribution, i.e., in social sciences other than one's area of concentration. Students who have not met the above course requirements must take additional undergraduate courses to be eligible to apply to this program. Applicants to the MAT social studies program whose undergraduate major was history must submit a copy of a research paper, or its equivalent, as part of the application materials. Applicants must have a cumulative grade point average of 3.0 or better in the social sciences and overall.
In addition, applicants should have a distribution of undergraduate coursework in the arts and sciences, which must include one semester of college-level study or three years of high school in a language other than English. It is recommended that students meet with a graduate advisor prior to applying to the MAT social studies program.
Letters of recommendation should be from social science professors familiar with the applicant's work. (In the special case of an applicant having held an extended position in the field of education, one letter may be from the applicant's supervisor in the position.)
If all prerequisite undergraduate requirements have been met, the MAT degree requires three semesters of full-time study (or the equivalent through part-time study). Students may begin their degree programs in either the fall or spring semester, but will be admitted for the spring semester only if space permits. Matriculated students are expected to successfully complete LTRC 519, SEC 500, SEC 593 and 100 clock hours of fieldwork before being admitted to the fall student teaching semester. Read about Fieldwork Requirements. Because the Master of Arts in Teaching course of study is a unique graduate program that results in a professional credential, we expect our students to conduct themselves professionally at all times in both University and school classrooms.
Minimum Requirements for Degree (courses are subject to change)
This program requires a minimum of 42 credits: 22 credits in education, 12 credits in the academic discipline, and 8 credits in supervised student teaching. Grades of B or better must be earned in both SEC 593 and SEC 594, and an overall average of B or better must be maintained to graduate.

By Bobby Harrison/NEMS Daily Journal
JACKSON – The number of Mississippians who receive health insurance through an employer dropped more than 12 percentage points from 2000 to 2011.
Only four states have a smaller percentage of their population receiving health insurance through employers than Mississippi, according to a study released Wednesday by the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, a national nonprofit that focuses on health care issues.
"Higher costs naturally translate into fewer employers offering insurance coverage, and fewer employees accepting it, even when it is offered," said Risa Lavizzo-Mourey, president of the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation. "That is why it is so important that people have options for purchasing affordable health insurance that meets their needs."
According to the study, in 2000, 1.57 million Mississippians, or 64.5 percent of the population, including family dependents, received their health insurance through an employer. In 2011, that number had dropped to 52.1 percent, or 1.34 million state residents.
The study was released as a debate rages in the state over whether to expand Medicaid, as is allowed by federal law, to cover an estimated 300,000 people earning less than 138 percent of the federal poverty level, or less than $15,000 annually.
Many members of the Republican leadership in the Legislature and Republican Gov. Phil Bryant said they oppose the expansion because of the costs to the state, plus they also say they are philosophically opposed to helping grow another government program.
Rep. Andy Gipson, R-Braxton, recently said he would rather work on developing policy that provides "jobs with benefits … At the end of the day, I don't think 50 percent (of Mississippians) want to be on Medicaid."
Currently, about 740,000 Mississippians are covered by Medicaid or by the Children's Health Insurance Program, which provides coverage to a segment of the working poor.
For people covered by the existing Medicaid program in Mississippi, the federal government pays about 73 percent of the costs, though it pays a smaller percentage of the administrative costs. The people covered by the existing Medicaid program are for the most part the disabled, poor pregnant women, poor children and a certain segment of the elderly population.
For the Medicaid expansion, the first three years, starting in 2014, the federal government will provide 100 percent of the cost. After that, the federal share will stair-step down each year to 90 percent in 2020 where it will remain.
But Bryant said there are other costs the state will incur, such as administrative costs.
According to a 2012 study by Gallup, Mississippi has the second highest number of uninsured residents at 23.5 percent, trailing only Texas at 27.6 percent.
The Robert Wood Johnson study concluded that New Mexico had the lowest percentage of residents receiving insurance through an employer at 48 percent. Texas and Louisiana also had smaller percentages than did Mississippi.
The study found that Mississippi's decline in employer-sponsored health insurance is mirroring a national trend. Still, the study said that the vast majority of Americans will still receive employer-sponsored insurance despite changes to the health care system that will be made through federal legislation.

Dragons are creatures with nearly unlimited life spans. They can survive for long periods of time, and no one has found a dragon that has died of old age. Adolescence is usually marked by the growth of a hatchling's wings, although not all breeds of dragons grow wings and some breeds have other traits that indicate the beginning of maturation. Once they hit adolescence, hatchlings change quickly, maturing to their full forms in only 2 years.
Dragons don't communicate with each other verbally, but they will growl to scare off predators and frighten prey. Young dragons will emit an extremely high-pitched squeal when they are frightened. To communicate, they use telepathy with each other and to speak to other creatures.
Yellow-Crowned Dragons are found in the hottest, driest regions of the desert. Although they thrive in these conditions, they do very poorly in cold or humid climates. These dragons are very fast fliers and skilled hunters, and usually feed on small, quick desert antelope. Yellow-Crowned Dragons are diurnal, and spend the night in underground burrows they dig or steal from other creatures. They are often seen out sunning themselves in the early morning sun, waiting for the heat of the day to set in.

Sue is a very polite and organized host. At the beginning she gives you all relevant information, so that you actually don t have to think about anything and can immediately enjoy your stay. Great view from the pool!
Second time we stayed at this place cause it's at a great location.
Enjoyed it once again. Thank you Sue!!
We had a warm welcome from our host Susan.

Recommend this place and will be back in the future!!
For a first renting an apartment in downtown Bangkok, I was pleasantly surprised.
This great apartment is fully equipped and very modern, the bed wonderfully comfortable, small kitchen and 1 couch.
Spent 3 days here. Wonderful condo in a fantastic building. Location was great. Would stay here again.
Reviews for this host's other properties
The condo is a very nice, clean and luxery place to stay. Also is everything closer by! We realy enjoied our stay. I loved the pool.. Thank jou Sue!
Stayed in this beautifully furnished modern Condo with good facilities. Its in a modern secure building with gym and a lovely swimming pool. The building is like a five star hotel.
Sue is a very friendly hostess. She took me around to show the shop, laundry, BRT station. BRT Dorkmai takes u to Centre of Bangkok in about 25 mins. Excellent n cheap Taxi service is provided from the building to anywhere in Bangkok. There is also public bus available at certain times to Centre.
Thank you Sue for everything.
Mustan from London, U.K
Sue is a friendly and flexible host. Her condo is modern with comfortable furniture, good sanitary facilities and a nice little kitchen. The view from the apartment on the river and the city is magnificent.
The apartment building itself has many luxurious facilities. My favorite is the possibility to order a taxi at the security guards right at the entrance. The only "downside" I could find is that you sometimes have to help taxi drivers to find the building, despite its huge size. Tip: Have Google Maps on your phone, to show the location at the taxi driver.

Jackett keen for further additions
Kenny Jackett has been mulling over whether to change a winning team by introducing new signing Kevin McDonald at Bristol City today – whilst also not ruling out further arrivals at Wolves before the transfer deadline.
The Head Coach has certainly adopted a quality rather than quantity approach to signings to far, with the highly-rated McDonald joining club captain Sam Ricketts as the only additions so far.
Many have departed since Jackett's arrival – Stephen Ward's season-long switch to Brighton the latest – but many of the club's younger talents have been promoted to the senior ranks with the Head Coach only willing to add where he is convinced of a player's ability.
"I'm not one to have a scattergun approach with my signings – I try to consider it and bring people in when I need to and it's resulted in only two new players," says Jackett.
"That's quite low for someone in my position but I'd think in the last two-and-a-half weeks of the window, we'll keep watching and seeing if there are players that if I could add, I would, if they become available.
"I won't sign a player for the sake of it.
"I will only add when I think the player is good enough to add something.
"In Sam we needed a captain and an experienced defender who can play right across the back four.
"And I have followed Kevin's progress for a long time.
"I think the squad is slightly young but it's well balanced, and there are certain players we've identified, both myself and Kevin Thelwell that would strengthen us and they become available, then fine, we'll make sure we work away at getting the right ones.
"It's the quality of the ones coming in that we want to hold on to if we can."
All attention today however will not be on possible future transfer plans but the tough test ahead at Ashton Gate against Bristol City.
Another sellout away following of 2,200 will be cheering Wolves on, with Jackett expecting a difficult challenge.
"Bristol City have been high scoring and high conceding in their games so far," he said.
"A four and a two scored but seven against - they have been an attacking team.
"It's a big pitch – a bigger pitch than ours – and a terrific place to play.
"They've got the likes of Baldock trying to make his way, I think they paid £1.5m for him last year to try and get their forward line going – he's their captain and has already got two goals this year.
"They've taken Emmanuel-Thomas from Ipswich and young Ryan Taylor coming back from injury who's pretty much an established centre forward.
"That will be their main threats and they've got Wagstaffe from Charlton and some experienced pros on Marvin Elliot and Kilkenny.
"It will be a good game and one which was in the Championship last season.
"They are a big club with a strong squad and will have their own aspirations of promotion this season I am sure.
"We had a good result last week but can't think we're just going to go to Bristol City and automatically pick up from where we left off.
"We have shown against Gillingham what we are capable of and that's encouraging for the players but it is consistency over these opening ten games that we are looking for."

Tent-making bats!Thu, 03/08/2012 - 09:07 — admin
Bats usually use existing cavities such as caves or tree-holes as roosting sites. On very rare cases the do their own homes, and this is one of those peculiar cases where bats built a shelter for the group, that includes adult males, moms and babies. Bats chew the center vain of a palm-leaf hence the leaf drops forming a tent. In the forest reserve at El Remanso on the Osa Peninsula in Costa Rica you can see over 50 species of bats, among them several that use leafs as shelter. Have you ever seen them in nature? Tell us and share your pics!

I am not a good advogator. I don't post to my diary with any sort of regularity (it's been something well over a month since my last one) and when I do post, it's usually got nothing to do with code. But that's ok, because code has been a secondary crutch in my life for a while now. I just didn't realize it.
This post is also not about code, or computers, or technology, or anything. It's about me. Sorry.
I'm posting now, because I have something to say, and no one to say it to. It's not that I don't have friends, (I have some of the best friends anybody could ask for), it's just that I feel like I need to say this in a more 'generic recipient' way.
I am drunk.
I just walked nearly two miles, through falling snow, wind, and some pretty significant cold. One might ask why I did this. One might ask why I took the "two in the morning, sub twenty degree, walk down to the highway" on this of all nights. And one would be right for doing so.
It wasn't just a walk... it was the bourbon dance.
For you see, I realized tonight... I am either a complete and utter moron, who doesn't even deserve the pathetic life he's just barely managed to live thus far, or I am (as my sig stolen from seanbabay.com will testify to) history's greatest genius.
I needed the walk down to the highway to try to figure things out. And I'm not sure that I have,, but at least now I'm tired, and might actually manage to sleep at some point (it's Thu Dec 21 02:50:11 EST 2000 at the moment... shit, I can't even process time right now)
For those of you too dense to realize it on your own... I am completely and utterly retarded over *gasp* a girl. For the purpose of torturing myself and indulging my masochistic nature, tonight I've been reffering to her internally as "The Girl", with the 'T' and the 'G' in capital letters.
I've known her since high school (some 10 years for me now). I had a pretty serious crush on her then. We kept running into each other periodically for the last several years, and we'd chat and stuff. I ran into her last spring, and actuallly had a great conversation with her right there in the grocery store.... the pasta isle.
We traded email addresses. I pulled some strings, and got her phone number. We chatted. We got together for dinner and whatnot, and became good pals. We talked about dating, and decided it wouldn't work out, because we were too different, and she was seeing someone, and blah blah blah blah blah.
Fuck all that. I wanted this girl, and I didn't care who knew it. But I played along with this friends thing, because I knew that I needed her in my life in some capacity, even if it meant just being her friend. Even if it meant torturing myself through a mere fraction of the relationship I wanted.
But something happened. Thanksgiving evening, she came over to watch a movie with me. The entire evening, the air was thick with something... something that was way more than friendship. We both felt it.... I was so shocked by it that I couldn't call her for two or three days afterwards. She was so shocked, she declared that we couldn't be together anymore without some sort of adult supervision.
Things happened pretty quickly after that. we went from being casual friends that had some mutual romantic feelings for each other to being two people with a silly inability to be apart from each other for more than a couple of hours, in a mere matter of days,.
Now here we are... a couple weeks of fabulous romance later. She's trying to get her mind right... trying to get happy with herself, and get in a good space. She's telling me she needs some space, and I...
I actually said I understand. And that I want her to be happy with herself. And I want to be happy with myself. And I want us to be happy together if we're meant to be. I want her to get things right, and then the two of us can go explore what lives between us.
Now I'm second guessing myself. Am I an idiot? Is this meant to be, and I'm doing the right thing? Is this not meant to be and it doesn't matter what I think? Did I just gamble a couple days worth of great sex against a potential future of 'the real thing'? Am I just deluding myself into believing that something could actually happen between me, and this fabulous woman?
I've actually been completely re-writing the 'plan' of the rest of my life around this woman. I've been looking at the kid issue. I've been thinking about moving to Indy. I'm shopping for a bed for christ-sakes. I let this woman touch my feet. When I go to sleep at night, I pretend she's there with me (unless of course she's actually with me) and when I wake in the morning, my first thought is about her.
Shit. jjw just called. One of my servers is hosed, and paging him. So I did the smart thing, and killed the paging script. The actual problem can probably wait until I'm sober.
In order to escape the hidious noise of my brain racing at a million miles an hour, I had to leave the house. My brother came over for a while, we watched 'the Whole Nine Yards', and that helped. But when he left, I was left alone with... well, with my brain.
Lot's of people claim to be their own worst enemy. I have World War Three raging inside me most of the time.
So I realized I had to leave. I grabbed my hip flask, which was already pre stocked with about half a pint of my favorite 100 proof bourbon. I walked a nice straight line, the whole half mile down to the highway.
The wether being what it is, and due to the lateness of the hour, the highway was pretty deserted. So I stood in the middle of it, and drank, defying some stupid car to come squish me. I find I get a bit cavalier with my personal safety when I'm under emotional stress.
The walk home was much less of a straight line. I wobbled all over the place, and it's only the lack of traffic that kept me from getting squished. My tracks through the snow resemble a snake wrapped around a barbers pole. But the upside is... I met a really nice horse on my way home, and he talked some sense to me I think.
I sit here now, remembering what I said to her... I want to be happy, I want her to be happy, and optimally, I want us to be happy together. If that means she needs to go get her mind right for a bit, then so be it... I'll cope. I just didn't realize it'd be this hard. But I guess I'll deal, and she'll call me in a couple of days.
I'm confident that things will work out for the best. Or else, I expect I'm probably not long for the midwest.

Interviewed in Infoworld.com on Rails + Merb = Rails 3
wahoo! http://www.infoworld.com/article/09/01/12/02NF-ruby-on-rails-merb_1.html
Why Merb Becoming Rails 3 is a Good Thing
Q: Rails or Merb?
A: Yes.
So, today's big news is that Merb will be the new Rails. Wow! Who said you couldn't get people's attention during the holidays. This is really going to shake up the Ruby web community.
There has been a lot of reactions to the news, not all of it positive. This tweet jumped out at me. That is a totally understandable first reaction. What happened to the revolution? In my opinion this is the best possible outcome of the Merb revolution. It began life because of frustrations with the Rails core team and the direction that Rails in general was heading. The Merb team chose to go off and do things the way they think things should be done. Competition was created.
As the competition increased you started to see some of the better ideas in Merb start to be implemented in Rails. Competition is the best thing on earth to break a monoculture. It's so easy to get wrapped up in our own little worlds and to keep doing things just because that's the way we do things.
Now, the situation today is that Merb has convinced the Rails core team that they were onto something, and instead of leading us down the path of Ruby Web Framework Armageddon (which is not wholly bad, but at the very least creates a marketing problem) they decided to now join forces. Not a decision that was taken lightly, I imagine.
So what happens to competition, you say? It still exists, there are now many, many Ruby Web Frameworks, and many more will come, even in the wake of this announcement. There will always be people pushing the status quo, there will always be ambitious hackers out there creating new and exciting things. Those things will inevitably feedback into the dominant frameworks, if not, then the dominant frameworks will slowly die off, as they should.
So why is this a good thing again? Well because now the framework I love, the framework that has changed my development life, will now be even better! The infusion of the quality engineering that has been displayed by the Merb team is the best thing for Rails' long term viability. Enterprise business *want* to jump on the Ruby bandwagon, they are just scared of Rails and it's issues, real or perceived. Now, Rails will become the Enterprise solution they have been clamoring for, and that makes life great for all us Rails Development and Consulting shops out there!
Here's to a great New Year for Ruby!!

You are essentially abusing goto to create a loop. Instead, use an explicit loop:
I only used goto in one small section, since I don't have much need for it elsewhere....Note that this automatically handles the case where the user types an invalid option by looping around, though it is generally nicer to print a specific message in this case.
Another potential improvement is to dynamically remove invalid options from the menu. Something like this:...I'm not sure if you are familiar with std::vector or function pointers. Feel free to ask a question if you don't understand what this code is doing.
From what I can see in the second example, it's working sort of like an array. It appears to be creating a single, erm, (for lack of a better term) method that carries the other functions in it, kinda like how a class works? Then it grabs how many functions are underneath CombatChoice and displays them, dependent upon wether or not they meet the conditions given when using the push_back function. (not sure what push_back is)
Finally, when choosing the option, the reason you created that variable when creating the menu was to add an extra bumper in case the player chose the number of an option that wasn't even there.
I'll do a bit of reading on std::vector, since this is the first time I've come across the term. This was actually my first serious C++ project, so I had to hunt down tons of stuff on the net.
Anyhow, thanks for the advice, and I'll be working on improving my code once my compiler gets fixed...

if all this is true, i'm thinking they got off too easy.-Paul9. A summary prepared following a Saints preseason game included the statement, "1 Cart-off - Crank up the John Deer (sic) Tractor" in reference to a hit on an opposing player. Similar statements are reflected in prepared documents or slides in connection with other games in multiple seasons. A review of the game films confirms that opposing players were injured on the plays identified in the documents.
10. When interviewed in 2012, Sean Payton claimed to be entirely unaware of the program, a claim contradicted by others. Further, prior to the Saints' opening game in 2011, Coach Payton received an email from a close associate that stated in part, "PS Greg Williams put me down for $5000 on Rogers (sic)." When shown the email during the course of the investigation, Coach Payton stated that it referred to a "bounty" on Green Bay quarterback Aaron Rodgers.
11. In early 2010, Mr. Loomis advised Coach Payton that the league office was investigating allegations concerning a bounty program. Coach Payton said that he met with his top two defensive assistants, Coach Williams and Coach Vitt, in advance of the interview with league investigators and told them, "Let's make sure our ducks are in a row." Remarkably, Coach Payton claimed that he never inquired of Coach Williams and Coach Vitt as to what happened in the interviews, never asked them if a "pay-for-performance" or bounty program was in fact in place, and never gave any instructions to discontinue such a program.
12. In January 2012, prior to the Saints' first playoff game of the 2011 season, Coach Payton was advised by Mr. Loomis that the league office had reopened the investigation. Coach Payton made a cursory inquiry but took no action to ensure that any bounty program was discontinued.
13. General Manager Mickey Loomis was not present at meetings of the Saints defense at which bounties were discussed and was not aware of bounties being placed on specific players. Mr. Loomis became aware of the allegations regarding a bounty program no later than February 2010 when he was notified of the investigation into the allegations during a meeting with NFL Executive Vice President-Football Operations Ray Anderson. He was directed to ensure that any such program ceased immediately. By his own admission, Mr. Loomis did not do enough to determine if a pay-for-performance/bounty program existed or to end any such program that did exist.
14. Saints owner Tom Benson notified Mr. Loomis in January 2012 prior to the team's participation in the playoffs that the league's investigation had been reopened. Mr. Benson reiterated his position that a bounty program was unacceptable and instructed Mr. Loomis to ensure that if a bounty program existed at the Saints it would stop immediately. By his own admission, Mr. Loomis responded to this direction by making only cursory inquiries of Coaches Payton and Williams. He never issued instructions to end the bounty program to either the coaching staff or the players.
15. There is no evidence that Saints ownership had any knowledge of the pay-for-performance or bounty program. There is no evidence that any club funds were used for the program. Ownership made clear that it disapproved of the program, gave prompt and clear direction that it stop, and gave full and immediate cooperation to league investigators.

By David Wheeler/Special to the NEMS Daily Journal
BALDWYN – The Baldwyn Bearcats could have very well packed away their baseball gear away until next season after a demoralizing loss two day ago.
Baldwyn kept the bags in the closet Monday.
Using an opportunistic offense and getting a complete game pitching effort by junior Dustin Kirk, the Bearcats tied their Class 2A quarterfinal series with the Calhoun City Wildcats at 1-1 with a 13-3 victory.
"I'm proud of the way our guys fought back," Baldwyn coach Shannon Smith said. "We had a good approach at the plate, and as always, Dustin was very consistent."
The series moves to Calhoun City for Game 3 today, with a 7 p.m. start.
The Bearcats (20-5) got a sacrifice fly from Kirk and an RBI single by Corbin Scott for a 3-0 lead in the first inning on Monday.
From there, Baldwyn added three runs in the third, a solo run in the fifth, and closed out the contest with six runs in the sixth. Scott had another RBI hit in the fifth, and Tucker Jenkins was part of the six-run inning with an RBI hit.
"This was kinda like Game 1 in reverse for us," Calhoun City head coach Josh Miller said. "We hit the ball hard tonight, and if we hit the ball the same way tomorrow, we'll be OK."
Calhoun City (17-10) plated a pair of runs in the third on a triple by Chakel Gates. Pinch-hitter James Hervey smashed a solo home run in the fifth.

Not that it really makes all that much difference for most of us in Walmart starved areas but Wave 10 was found in Ohio today.
Not that it really makes all that much difference for most of us in Walmart starved areas but Wave 10 was found in Ohio today.
I saw a set at Ross today that was supposed to be Mirror Master, Flash 1, and some other villain. Flash was replaced by Lex Luthor.
Really, someone is army-building those ****ty LexCorp Troopers? That's quite pathetic.
That's my jacket!
So I've been noticing something kind of weird lately regarding wave 9. Maybe it's just me being overly suspicious, but three weeks ago Entertainment Earth had just Black Canary in stock. The next week she was gone but they now had only Deadshot in stock. Then this past week, I see that they've had only Black Adam. It's probably nothing (maybe just a bunch of folks who ordered each individually cancelling their orders for each figure in turn simultaneously?!) but I'm at a loss to explain why and how exactly something like that happens. Could it be that EE is for some reason holding back on their stock and slowly releasing them for order one at a time? Why would they even do that? Wonder what my chances are of buying them one at a time until I have the complete assortment are? Too bad I didn't know these would be so rare until Black Canary was already sold out.
I just thought I'd ask - Any luck with Wave 10, anyone?
My local Target restocked with wave 9 so I picked up an extra Green Arrow and Black Canary to use as trade fodder towards a Power Girl.
Also, is anyone else planning on getting any of the Public Enemies figures? I'll probably get only Bats and Supes.
I will be buying the Public Enemies figures. I didn't want to at first - not that they're bad figures, just that I didn't feel the need for figures in a different style - then I saw that Brimstone was the Collect-and-Connect figure for this wave, and well...what are the odds that they'll ever do him again in the regular line? Brimstone actually looks pretty close to his appearance in the comics, as does Major Force, so the two of them at least have me sold.
Anyone seen Public Enemies 6" figures yet?
Supposedly they'll be put out on 10/11 or thereabouts which is also when Geonosis 2 packs are being put out. However, the scanners still read "not in stock" when I punch in the DPCI's.
Apparently, the space for DCUC at Target is cutting cut in half so that Public Enemies has a shelf space.
In all seriousness, though, my brother managed to find a second Green Arrow figure for me this past week at Target (not only the first time in a long time he's bought a figure for me, but also only the second time in history his local Target has ever had a DCUC figure in stock! Kidding again...but just barely.) That figure, along with the individual orders I managed to get in at EE.com for Deadshot and Black Adam, and the single Guardian figure I lucked into at Target, means I'm only short Wildcat and Black Canary from this series! Go me!
I saw it mentioned on the Fwoosh that a new wave of the 1:50 vehicle line is out including the Burtonwing, the Batpod (you were right, JT), and a battle damaged version of the B:TAS Batmobile.
Close-up pics of the Batwing: http://www.auctiva.com/hostedimages/...0,0,0&format=0

Batpod: http://cgi.ebay.com/Hot-Wheels-1-50-...item4ceb60d127
Also for those that might not know, the Burtonmobile, desert camo Tumbler and Super Friends Batmobile have been out for a month or two.
"Hokey packaging and ancient gimmicks are no match for good detail on your figure, kid."
"I am a Klingot from Oklahoma in human boy form."

A surface trough extends from a low over the Kimberley, through SA to a low near the SA/Vic border, then past the Tasmanian west coast. Isolated thunderstorms are occurring along the trough over the continent, but are most prevalent over western and central Victoria near the southern low. Cloud over eastern WA and northwestern SA is associated with a jetstream. A slow-moving high pressure system over the Tasman Sea is directing southeasterly winds and areas of low cloud onto the northern NSW and QLD coasts. A surface trough and low pressure system are responsible for thunderstorms over the Torres Strait and Arafura Sea. A cold front is crossing the Southern Ocean, with a pool of cold air behind it indicated by the patchy cloud.

Couple of notes about this season:
Detroit may not make the playoffs, after 22 straight years of doing so. Weird that it happens in the first year in the Eastern Conference, a conference with not as many powerhouses as the West.
Colorado is a great young up-and-coming team that might win sooner rather than later, despite their youth. Patrick Roy has been doing a fascinating job.
Pittsburgh and Boston will meet in the Eastern Conference Finals, unless they don't meet before then. Book it.
Good to see Ryan Miller play for a decent team in St. Louis after having to put up with crap in Buffalo for so many years.
