Where I stayed
The Cledwyn's
We had a rest and a nice hot soup for lunch before Sue took us out to Winchester for the afternoon while Pip stayed home as he had a few chores to do and some football to watch. Winchester was the capital of England until the Normans invaded and changed it to London. We started by walking along the river front, past some old walls and some lovely cottages.
We then headed up to the city centre and along the main road, passing the guildhouse and more old buildings and houses
We finished looking around just before evensong, we didn't hang around for the service but saw the choir getting ready. We walked around the outside of the church and found a book stall where we bought a few books. We also passed a school that was built just after the plague to train new clergy men and a little market area.
Next we headed to a small museum about the town and its development. There were mosaics and remnants from early Roman times, but the most interesting part was a large model that showed the town in 4 different periods.
From the museum, we headed up to one of the remaining old gates. Next to this once stood a castle but it was torn down by Oliver Cromwell. All that remains is the great hall, home of King Arthur's round table which hangs on one of the walls. There was a small wing with paintings and stuff which we had to rush through before it closed. Out the front was a small tunnel which lead us down into what was once the motte. From here we went back to the car and home.
Back home, we had a roast dinner and arranged our plans for the next day. Pip works in Plympton, just out of Plymouth, so offered to give us a lift if we wanted to get up early. After dinner we watched Duplicity then went to bed.

Chopard timepieces are known for their striking beauty and luxury; the Chopard Imperiale superbly embodies these qualities. Created for the discriminating wristwatch buyer, the Imperiale is available in a variety of case materials and sizes, with or without a chronograph, and in automatic and manual versions, with cases available in 36 and 40 millimeters. From stainless steel to a spectrum of 18 and 22-karat gold, including white, rose and yellow, the Imperiale can reflect the light in so many wonderful ways. The most opulent Imperiale models are possibly Chopard luxury watches, flaunting faces ringed by an extravagant, glittering chain of select, expertly cut diamonds that overflow onto the band lugs. It is an adornment custom built for catching the eyes of anyone nearby. All versions of this watch feature elegant, dagger-style hour and minute hands, along with a delicately sculpted second hand that tapers to an impossibly fine point. The Imperiale's dial base is a work of art in its own right; the brilliant two-tone white/ off-white mother-of-pearl disc is painstakingly engraved, evoking a sense of softness as if it were an embroidered cushion. On this fantastic base is a set of Roman numerals at the three, six, nine and twelve o'clock positions with tick marks made of the case material representing numbers in between. Imperiale versions that do not include a chronograph feature a small, but easily readable date window that sits just west of the three o'clock marker. Those that feature a chronograph include the classic 60-second, 30-minute and 12-hour counter complications. The splendid gem-topped lotus-shaped crown sits by itself on the case center without any extraneous buttons cluttering the space, making for a truly elegant appearance.

text: But since the sticks are designed after the actual Street Fighter IV arcade cabinet, apart from a few special features, it's hard to complain too much. The buttons and decals match the arcade cabinet's red, white, and black color palette, with the basic edition in a fresh white and the Tournament Edition in a crimson red. The layout of the buttons are also identical, excluding the two black face buttons and the two start and select/back buttons along the back of the case.

Hi all,
I'm going through an exercise to clean up my code and put some more logic in it, regarding passing references and pointers.
Here's my goal:
** applies to all global functions and member functions of my classes
** if a function parameter is a class which is only input (not to be changed), use a const reference (const &...)
** if a function parameter needs to be altered by the function, use a pointer to the object (*....)
This also gives good readability if a function is changing an object, noticed by "->...".
** when it regards passing 'simple' objects like a vector/vertex, matrix, int, float etc., that is only input (not to be changed), I use const only (no reference). For example:
float DistCoordToCoord(const D3DXVERTEX3 pVector1, const D3DXVECTOR3 pVector2); or
** when it regards passing 'simple' objects which need to be altered, I use a pointer. For example:
void DistCoordToCoord(const D3DXVERTEX3 pVector1, const D3DXVECTOR3 pVector2, float *pResult);
The aim is to get better readability and less fault risks, by applying these style/ correctness.
My question:
- what would you do, looking at this? other approaches/ better approaches?
- am I overseeing things?
First thing I'm gonna do now is create a nice XLS with all classes and functions where this applies.
So any input is appreciated and can be used, since I'll need some time first to get the overview

This drawing shows a common red fox. Foxes have a reputation of being cunning, or sly. Now scientists think they have an uncanny ability to use Earth's magnetic field to hunt their prey.
Amazing but True!
- Earth has a magnetic field similar to that of a bar magnet. Many animals can detect the direction of Earth's magnetic field and use it for migration or other purposes.
- Foxes can detect the direction of Earth's magnetic field like many other animals. However, they may also have the amazing ability to use Earth's magnetic field to detect distance as well as direction. The fox is the first animal thought to have this ability.
- Watch this short but impressive video to see how a fox locates and captures its prey:

The company struggled for years after the death of its famous founder, Dave Thomas, in 2002, but finally looks to be finding its way.
In the past 18 months, Wendy's (ticker: WEN) has gone back to its roots as a high-quality burger maker, introducing new menu items and more focused marketing, and rolling out a dramatic remodeling of its stores. Even a new logo will be unveiled in March.
Wendy's has been revamping its menu, marketing, and stores. Improved results could boost its shares by 40%. Above, a restaurant in Columbus, Ohio. Jay LaPrete/Bloomberg News
The results are notable, with same-store sales rising for six of the past seven quarters. They were up 4.9% in the past two years.
Investors have bid up Wendy's shares by 20% from an October low, but a recent price of $5.03 puts the stock right back where it traded around the start of the year. Don't expect it to stay there, however, as the company begins to churn out appetizing results.
Wendy's sports an enterprise value (market value plus net debt) of 8.4 times this year's expected Ebitda, or earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization. That compares with EV/Ebitda ratios of 10 or more for fast-food competitors such as McDonald's MCD -0.6672818911052744% McDonald's Corp.

The discount is likely to narrow as Wendy's transformation unfolds, leading to a 40% jump in the stock price.
At 10 times 2014 estimated Ebitda, Wendy's would be worth $7.20. The stock yields 3.2%.
Founded 44 years ago by Thomas, Columbus, Ohio-based Wendy's has 6,560 stores, with 78% franchised and the rest company-owned. Almost 90% of the stores are in the U.S., with the greatest concentrations in Florida, Ohio, Texas, and Georgia.
In 2008, Wendy's was acquired for $2.4 billion by Triarc, a holding company controlled by activist investor Nelson Peltz. He merged it with Arby's and renamed it Wendy's/Arby's. Arby's was sold to a private-equity group in 2011, enabling management to focus on Wendy's.
The current CEO, Emil Brolick, joined Wendy's in September 2011 and knows it well, having worked closely with Thomas in the 1990s before leaving for Yum! Brands. Brolick turned around Yum's Taco Bell unit, and most recently served as chief operating officer of Yum. Last April he hired Craig Bahner, a Procter & Gamble PG -0.4105371193978789% Procter & Gamble Co.

Wendy's earned $64 million, or 16 cents a share, last year, on revenue of $2.5 billion. This year analysts expect earnings to rise to 18 cents, on a 4% rise in sales.
WENDY'S HAS MADE significant changes to its menu and marketing plan. Dubbed "A Cut Above," the latter emphasizes the brand's high-quality burgers and fresh ingredients. Since introducing its Dave's Hot 'N Juicy cheeseburgers in September 2011, the company has followed up with a slew of new premium products, including the Bacon Portabella Melt, Mozzarella Chicken Supreme, Spicy Guacamole Chicken Club, and the Berry Almond Chicken Salad.
The new products have met with success, and Wendy's has gained share in large hamburgers and large chicken sandwiches. But some price-conscious customers have taken their business elsewhere. Management recently launched a value-based menu, called "Right Price Right Size," and will ramp up marketing of it this year. Management couldn't be reached for comment.
Remodeling Wendy's aging stores is another part of its strategy. While the company has updated some stores over the years, the latest efforts involve an all-encompassing overhaul aimed at creating a cutting-edge design that rivals competitors'. The remodels include such features as lounge seating, fireplaces, flat-screen TVs, Wi-Fi, and digital menu boards.
Wendy's has launched 66 new restaurants, of which 48 have been remodels, and they have met with a positive response from customers. Sales in the newer-looking stores are up 25% since remodeling. The company plans to remodel 200 stores this year, and open 120 new units. In 2015 it is targeting 1,300 new and remodeled outposts.
The changes are showing up in profitability and sales. In the December quarter, company-run restaurants enjoyed profit margins of 15.9%, compared with 15% a year ago, and that's despite rising costs for beef and chicken. This year management expects even better performance, with same-store sales rising 2% to 3%.
Wendy's has a solid balance sheet, giving it ample flexibility to execute its strategy. Cash stands at $454 million to debt of $1.46 billion, making net debt 29% of total capitalization. The company also generates free cash flow, with $15 million expected in 2013.
Through his firm, Trian Fund Management, Peltz and associates control 27% of Wendy's stock. Peltz, who has been a director of the company since 1993, currently serves as chairman, and has long made his view known that Wendy's is worth far more than its stock-market value.
Given his involvement, a sale of the business is a strong possibility. One logical buyer: Yum! Brands, which doesn't own a burger business.

Players to perform 'A New Brain,' March 8-16
Posted March 3, 2007; 05:05 p.m.
The Princeton University Players will present "A New Brain," a musical based on the life of composer William Finn, on Thursday through Saturday, March 8-10, and Wednesday through Friday, March 14-16. The show begins at 8 each evening in the Matthews Acting Studio, 185 Nassau St.
"A New Brain" is a wry comedy about struggling composer Gordon Schwinn, who aspires to work on Broadway but is stuck writing less-than-inspiring music for a children's television entertainer. When Schwinn is confronted with a terminal illness, he learns how to appreciate life and to find comfort in the healing power of art.
The musical is loosely based on composer Finn's experience of being diagnosed with brain cancer. Finn wrote the music and lyrics as well as co-wrote the book with James Lapine.
The University student production is directed by junior Doug Lavanture and features freshman Jonathan Schwartz in the lead role. Tickets are $12 for general admission, $10 for faculty, staff and senior citizens, and $8 for students. They can be purchased online through University Ticketing or by calling (609) 258-1742.

I've been thinking about this for some time now. I've read many a poster not satisfied with certain sculpts of characters. So here's the question:
If someone else could do sculpts for Star Wars, who would you choose?
For me I'd love to see McFarlane Toys get there handson a few characters. The amount of detail they put into most of their sculpts is unreal sometimes! I'd love to see their take on such characters as Darth Maul, Han Solo, Chewy, Obi-Wan, and Emperor Palpatine! I just think those sculpts would be the prized possesion of many a Star Wars collector.:happy:
So what do you think? Who should sculpt a line of SW figures and who should be in that line?
OK, my question changed slightly. Sue me.

Congrats are in order for you raph and your wife. Being a young father myself (my son is three months old now) I hope you enjoy the experience as much as I do :-). Have a nice day.
During this week-end I've been thinking about what new functionnality could be interesting for Advogato, and I've come up with two ideas:
I'll make a try at writing some code for a voting system.
Sent my first patch for mod_virgule, and it works! Good day.
I've not been very productive lately, but taking care of a baby turns out to be a very time consuming activity :-)...
Here's a summary a short summary of the things I've done and that are relevant for this Advogato diary thing:
I'm currently just doing support by mail for Dr. Genius, and thinking about what I'm going to do next.
I will probably resume programming soon, now that my wife and my son are back at home (this is sooo good :-)).
I've found the code of a small prolog interpreter, and my plan is to improve it somewhat and turn it in an embeddable AI engine that could be easily used in various applications.
It currently has a very small footprint (exec size is less than 50k when stripped), but a really poor memory management. My first priority is to improve this, by adding a Garbage collector and efficient dynamic memory allocation.
This code is currently public domain and I will turn it in a GPL or LGPL library.
The funny thing to note about this interpreter is that it has been used by Microsoft, and modified version of it is hidden somewhere in Windows NT network setup code :-).
Best wishes to all of you for this new year!
I'm writing this small diary entry from work where I am currently busy checking that all the servers are ok :-).
On the Dr Genius front I have some changes in store that I will commit soon now: full implementation of the various line styles, and improvement to various dialogs.
Changed the way the style dialog is managed internally, but this has not changed radically the way it looks and feel. There are only a few little "improvement".
As I said it previously, I think that we will need someone to redesign our dialogs, and make sure that they are good enough to be used by childs.
Reworking the Dr Geo macro creation and macro playing dialogs look and feel. I think we will have to ask someone else to review this, because I feel that I'm not really a competent when it comes to good UI design.
Starting writing down some ideas for an Advogato article about existing Free Software tools for profiling, memory leak detection, and their proper use.
New HTML Parser: The long-awaited libxml2 based HTML parser code is live. It needs further work but already handles most markup better than the original parser.
Keep up with the latest Advogato features by reading the Advogato status blog.
If you're a C programmer with some spare time, take a look at the mod_virgule project page and help us with one of the tasks on the ToDo list!

Black flight feathers are mostly hidden in swimming and standing birds. Legs are reddish orange; bill and bare skin surrounding eye are reddish orange in breeding season but more yellowish in winter. JUVENILE Similar to adult, but with faint gray feathering on neck and upper wing coverts, and duller bill colors.
Dimensions Length: 55-70" (1.4-1.8 m); Wngspn: 8' (2.4 m)
Habitat Locally common breeding species, nesting colonially on large lakes with abundant fish, mainly in midwestern prairie states. Outside breeding season, moves south to southern U.S. states and Mexico, favoring large freshwater lakes and coastal lagoons and estuaries.
Observation Tips Large enough to not be easily missed, and usually tolerant enough of people, allowing good views, especially during winter months. Soaring flocks are an amazing sight, as are groups engaged in collective feeding.
Range Texas, Alaska, Mid-Atlantic, California, Great Lakes, Rocky Mountains, Southwest, Southeast, Northwest, Plains, New England, Western Canada, Florida, Eastern Canada
Voice Mostly silent, although soft grunts are uttered by nesting birds.
Discussion Huge and unmistakable waterbird with the typical pelican form: plump body, proportionately long neck, and extremely long, hooked-tip bill with expandable gular pouch. Essentially white plumage, seen in standing and swimming bird, is transformed when bird takes to the air, revealing contrasting black flight feathers. Wingspan is immense (W 108 in), allowing bird to soar and glide with ease; note the distinctive wing pattern, proportionately short tail, and forward-projecting bill. Swims with ease, by means of large, webbed feet. Feeds on fish by engulfing shoals in huge, yellow gular pouch; often feeds collectively. Sexes are similar.

Gallery: Matthew Carden's "Small World...
+Matthew Carden's "Small World" Archival Prints, Signed Limited Editions
Matthew Carden's pictorial elicits an understanding of the paradox that food is both a whimsical pleasure and a precious, vital gift. Thanksgiving is the ideal backdrop for a glimpse into his "Small World," where food is both celebrated and appreciated. Carden's aim is to "make viewers more aware of what they eat, and to simply think about food as an integral part of our world." Via the juxtaposition of tiny figures amidst "seemingly colossal" food, his photographs, "speak of abundance and the ultimate waste produced on a daily basis in our land of plenty."
According to the National Turkey Federation, the turkey industry earned $13.9 billion in 2007. 235 million of the 271 million turkeys raised in 2007 were consumed by Americans, mostly on Thanksgiving. Clearly, food production is an enormous enterprise; which means as eco-conscious advocates, we must be aware of our relationship with food, how we purchase it, consume it, and dispose of it.
Thanksgiving is an opportune time to teach our children good, earth loving habits such as buying organic, locally grown foods, preparing and eating food mindfully, and composting or recycling food waste and byproducts, or perhaps going the vegan or vegetarian route. With these roots, our children will grow-up with healthy traditions, which will be instilled in future generations.
On a global scale, Slow Food (as opposed to 'fast food'), is an organization which seeks to educate people with regard to their relationship to food. They "believe that the food we eat should taste good; that it should be produced in a clean way that does not harm the environment, animal welfare or our health; and that food producers should receive fair compensation for their work." Slow Food also seeks to enrich the lives of children and foster their healthy relationship with food, through their Taste Education missions, which include planting gardens in schools from whence school lunches are made.
After feasting your eyes on Matthew Carden's fun, insightful photographs, enjoy your Thanksgiving celebrations, and remember to serve up plenty of food for thought this holiday.

Yeah… this isn't at all a rip-off of Willy Rojas' work.
Or a rip-off of Audrey Heller's work, either.
I truly thought these were the photographs of Audrey Heller. These are EXACTLY like hers.
Audrey Heller isn't the first nor the best at it…
A LOT of artists have been turning to this artform. it's an interesting one and the take on food is a nice twist really…
PS.. the 'security code' feature is truly illegible!!!
i would like to know where can i buy this kind of figures to do my own photos…!!!
It is incredible!! There are so many people who take this kind of fotos…i thought there was just Willy Rojas ( I have to pictures of him in my room) and litlle-people.
Audrey Heller has been doing these since 1996. Slinkachu (above referenced by None) would have been 12 at the time. Willy Rojas was doing brilliant work in 1996, but had not begun this type of scale play. There is also a difference between being inspired by an idea and essentially copying the idea, and that difference is obvious here. Matthew Carden also happens to live in the same city as Audrey. Slinkachu is in London and Willy Rojas is in Barcelona.
What about the Minimiams?
I just found this and thought I should chime in to at least state my position.
I have been a Photographer for 20 years, and I started showing and selling this work back in the late 90's. This particular series evolved as a fun and effective way for me to illustrate my ideas and "perspective" about food.
A lot of Artists around the world use these figures in their work. It's nothing new, and I have seen similar types of shots dating back to the 70's. I respect and support other Artists, and I enjoy that others also use the little people as subjects. I have even contacted many who work with them, and we all enjoy seeing the little folks in different settings from different perspectives. Thanks for the constructive comments, and for bringing all the artists mentioned above to peoples attention…
I see a world some day where all the little people out there can get along….
………loving the hub-bub! Matthew Carden's work is available at fawn&forest http://www.fawnandforest.com/designers/191/products ………….skiing on sprinkles!
Hey people-
Just because a few artists are working with similar devices, in a similar style, does not necessarily mean that any of them are copying each other. Good ideas are easy to come by, and it is very common that different artists in different parts of the world come up with similar ideas independently. This happens all the time in the art world and in the design space, but to imply that there is some sort of plagiarism going on is taking things too far, I believe.

Family: Sciuridae, Squirrels view all from this family
Description A large squirrel with a bushy tail edged with brown or orangish brown. Usually twice the size of the Eastern Gray Squirrel, with a more colorful coat and a brownish tinge to the tail. The most typical color phase has rusty-gray upperparts with a rusty- yellow or orange belly. Other color morphs include an all-black form, a southeastern form that is black or dark brown with a white nose and ears, and a gray form with rusty limbs, a black head and a white nose and ears.
Dimensions 45-70cm, 20-33cm, 696-1233g
Endangered Status The Delmarva Peninsula Fox Squirrel, a subspecies of the Eastern Fox Squirrel, is on the U.S. Endangered Species List. It is classified as endangered in Delaware, Maryland, and Virginia. This squirrel once ranged throughout the Delmarva Peninsula. Naturally occurring populations are now found only in parts of Queen Anne's, Talbot, and Dorchester Counties in Maryland, although introduced populations occur elsewhere in Maryland, as well as Virginia, Delaware, and Pennsylvania. This subspecies requires a particular type of mixed hardwood and pine woodland, with a closed canopy and an open understory. It needs extensive forest-edge habitat, so the woodland must be fairly small in extent. Logging practices have altered this type of habitat in the fox squirrel's range, either by changing the nature of the canopy or the understory, or by replacing mixed stands with same-species plantings. Once the Delmarva Peninsula Fox Squirrel loses its own habitat, it must compete with the Gray Squirrel for food and nesting habitat.
Breeding Makes leaf nests like the Eastern Gray Squirrel.
Habitat Swamps, marshes & bogs, Forests & woodlands
Range Plains, Great Lakes, Mid-Atlantic, Rocky Mountains, Southeast, Florida, Texas, California, Eastern Canada
Discussion Introduced to some parts of California, Colorado, Oregon, and Washington. Generally abundant, although the subspecies from the eastern shore of Maryland is considered endangered. These savannah animals prefer open, parklike habitats with scattered trees and an open understory.

VIDEO: The trailer for Ratatouille
These days, Pixar practically prints money: Lasseter's Cars raced to one of last year's highest grosses, despite being Pixar's first release to stall creatively. With Ratatouille, Pixar is back on track, and Bird is once again behind the wheel. The technical virtuosity may still dazzle, the visual wow factor trumping anything in Shrek's third sit-com entry, but forget the epic spectacle of Bird's last outing. The Incredibles was adventure writ large; now he's telling an atypically small tale, one confined mostly to a single restaurant, and the results are no less thrilling.
Rémy (voiced by comedian Patton Oswalt) is a gourmand with a highly refined sense of smell. He's also a rat. While his colony scamper on four limbs scavenging for compost, he lives a "secret life," entering the forbidden interior of the French countryside cottage where they live behind the walls. "Doesn't it bother you that we eat with the same hands we walk on all day long?", Rémy asks, walking on two feet as his tubby brother Émile (Peter Sohn) follows him into the bungalow's kitchen, nervously eyeing the elderly woman sleeping in front of a TV. On it, we see a program featuring Rémy's hero, the late chef Auguste Gusteau (Brad Garret), who probably didn't have rodents in mind when he famously proclaimed, "Anyone can cook."
When the old crone awakens to rats in her spice rack, the colony must evacuate to a nearby river, a single shotgun blast separating Rémy from his clan. Whisked into a raging sewer, he emerges in Gusteau's once-popular Paris restaurant, where he can't resist salvaging a soup that's been almost destroyed by Linguini (Lou Romano), the eatery's clumsy new janitor. Of course, the patrons love the result, and Napoleonic chef Skinner (Ian Holm) demands that the "garbage boy" replicate the recipe –– or else. An unlikely Cyrano-like tale follows Linguini's growing celebrity: he attracts the unwanted attention of Anton Ego (a wonderfully sanctimonious Peter O'Toole) –– the culinary critic who ruined Gusteau's reputation –– while Rémy the "little chef" covertly toils beneath his toque.
Can Rémy retain his "human" creativity, even as he seeks to reunite with his kin? Will a suspicious Skinner expose Linguini as nothing more than a rat? Can Bird's sensual soufflé avoid collapse? To borrow a line from the film, which includes an insightful look at the art of criticism: my compliments to the chef.

In recent days there've been a number of reports about U.S. drones hitting al-Qaeda targets within Pakistan along the border with Afghanistan. And more recently, there have been reports of Navy Seals going into Pakistan, staying a few hours on the ground killing many Taliban or al-Qaeda operatives, and then being flown out by helicopters. Are these cross-border attacks good or bad in the longer run for the United States? What do you think?
Well let me say, first of all, it's very different going into the sovereign territory of a nuclear weapons state. We have heard from the Pakistani army chief Ashfaq Pervez Kiyani that the Pakistani army doesn't approve and will resist. Now some of that may be playacting, part of a very complicated Pakistani internal game that's going on. But my experience with the Pakistani military is that they will jealously try to guard their nation's sovereignty and their own perceived prestige. So it's risky. I think that we're doing it because the situation is deteriorating rapidly in Afghanistan and because the related fear that this sanctuary that al-Qaeda and the Taliban have built in Pakistan can and will be, sooner or later, used to target American interests outside of South Asia, possibly including in the United States itself. So, our military faces a very frustrating situation. It cannot defeat the Taliban as long as they have a sanctuary across the border, and it fears that al-Qaeda in that sanctuary is developing plans and plots that go far beyond Afghanistan.
It's seemingly a very difficult dilemma, I think, for American policymakers. You would think by now the Pakistani military would be happy for help on this issue, but what is preventing them from working with the United States on this?
Pakistanis in general, but the Pakistani army in particular, does not have a lot of confidence in the United States. They feel that the United States has let them down, over and over again, over the last fifty years. We don't have a lot of friends in Pakistan. What we have is a lot of people that think the Americans are not reliable. There's been a poll in Pakistan in last several days that say the majority of Pakistanis think the violence in their country is the result of the United States. And only a handful of Pakistanis think that it's the result of al-Qaeda and its allies. And in that kind of charged political atmosphere, these kinds of operations can easily incite even further anti-Americanism. We are, as you said it, in a very, very difficult situation. I think any American leader that was told that we had very good intelligence, at a certain point and a certain time, will act on that intelligence. And they should. But, you have to be sure it's really, really good intelligence. And not a set up that someone is deliberately trying to put you in.
It was reported that the Pakistani head of the army met with U.S. officials on an aircraft carrier not too long ago. Presumably, they must have discussed this kind of action.
I think that's a safe presumption. I think, though, we also have to understand we don't have a track record with the Pakistanis that leaves them feeling we're reliable. And there is a very complex political game going on inside Pakistan today, including the civilian leadership, President Asif Ali Zardari, the opposition leader, Nawaz Sharif, and the Army High Command led by General Kiyani are all maneuvering. This issue becomes a billiard ball in this political atmosphere, and if you can portray your political opponent as America's man, that's good politics in Pakistan today. You don't want to look to be George Bush's best friend in Pakistan and I think that there are games being played within games here and American policymakers need to be extremely shrewd in how they maneuver in this political atmosphere.
There seems to be a growing consensus among U.S. strategic thinkers that the war in Afghanistan is being lost right now. And that's why I suppose the desire to hit targets in Pakistan is so strong at this moment. There's going to be a new president in the United States in a few months. What do you think that either Sen. John McCain or Sen. Barack Obama can do about this situation?
I'm going to answer that in two parts. Let's look first at the actual situation. The Afghanistan war is a really an extraordinary one for the United States, because we've actually fought this war from the other side in living memory. In the 1980s, we backed an insurgency against the Soviets from Pakistan. We know from that experience—those of us that were in it—that you cannot lose that war as long as you have your sanctuary in Pakistan. You may not be able to win in Afghanistan, but you can't lose, because you always have a place to regroup and you can make life miserable for the ruling government in Afghanistan. And it's paralyzed in Afghanistan as long as you have that sanctuary. The next president has to find a way to reverse Pakistani attitudes about America, to get the Pakistanis to change from being half-hearted supporters—or not being supporters at all—of our struggle against the Taliban. We have got to get them on our side. There is no unilateral American solution to the problem of these sanctuaries in Pakistan. We cannot hope to invade and occupy all of Pakistan to cleanse it of the Taliban and al-Qaeda since Pakistan is a nuclear weapons state. We just simply cannot occupy the entire country. We need to get the Pakistanis to work with us.
And that means the next administration, whether he is McCain or Obama, has got to reverse the distrust and the lack of faith in America that has accumulated, not just during President Bush's administration—though he hasn't helped—but over decades now. That can be done, I think, if we work with the civilian government, show them we want democracy in Pakistan, if we increase our assistance to Pakistan, especially in economic areas as Sen. Joseph Biden and Sen. Richard Lugar have proposed. We should also be sensitive to some of Pakistan's diplomatic needs. Pakistan, for example, would like the Durand Line, the border between Afghanistan and Pakistan, to be accepted as a real international border by Afghanistan. It never has. No Afghan government has ever accepted this border. We have some leverage in Afghanistan now with the Kabul government. And we ought to think about whether we should use that leverage to make this border line drawn by the foreign secretary of British India in 1893 into a real border. That would be in Pakistan's interest and I think in the long term it's in everyone's interest.
I didn't realize that was still a live issue.
That is still a live issue for Pakistanis.
I thought it was a problem for the Afghanis.
The Afghans don't accept the border as an international border. They feel it was imposed by the British. Actually they're right. It was imposed by the British. That's how Britain ruled the region. But it's been more than a century; it's time to accept it's an international border. That's what Pakistanis would argue, it's time to realize this is an international border and for Afghanistan to acknowledge that it's an international border. That's a diplomatic objective that the United States ought to encourage, which would be of utility to Pakistan and which is a coming to grips with reality. If we want Pakistan to enforce border controls and to guard its border to prevent infiltration, a good first step would be to have that border become a real international border.
Of course the Pakistanis are also unhappy about their other border which is in Kashmir, which is a hot bed right now as well.
There's another place where I feel creative American diplomacy could be helpful. We ought to try to encourage a long-term settlement between India and Pakistan of the Kashmir dispute, based again on the principle that the existing line of control ought to become an international border with some special status reserved for Kashmiris. We can't expect Pakistan to behave like a normal state, unless it has normal borders. And we can't expect Pakistan to behave the way we would like it to while it's obsessed and fixated on its neighbor and the problem in Kashmir. The problem in Kashmir has been in the doldrums for the past several years. It is now starting to boil really quickly, and when Kashmir boils, the result is Indian-Pakistani tensions that can produce war. We've seen that over and over again.
I've noticed that at President Zardari's inauguration the other day, his honored guest was President Hamid Karzai of Afghanistan. Does that mean anything special?
It's a striking reversal. It would have been inconceivable that Karzai would have shown up at former President Pervez Musharraf's inauguration. The two men detested one another. It's a hopeful sign. Whether it becomes more than that, remains to be seen. It's certainly a hopeful sign.
I guess it's a truism that the civilian government in Pakistan, having gone through all these problems to get where they are now, has virtually no control over their military and the intelligence services, right?
Absolutely. Zardari this summer tried to put the Pakistani Intelligence Service, ISI, under his control, and the army slapped him down right away and told him, "no way." Zardari, though, should not be underestimated. He is a clever politician. It's in the United States' interest to have a healthy civil-military relationship in Pakistan, where the civilian government that runs the show is accountable for the actions of both the army and the ISI. It is not in our interests, in the long term, to continue to have an unhealthy civil-military relationship where the Army and the Intelligence Services are on their own, except when their hand-picked general is the military dictator.
Do you see any threat of another military coup?
Not immediately. But if the Zardari government looks like it's failing—it faces extremely serious economic problems now— if it looks like it is unable to manage Americans, if it looks like it's soft on India and Kashmir, I could envision a situation in the midterm where the Army once more comes back and takes over the country. We've seen this story before. This is the fourth attempt in Pakistan's history at a civilian government. Three previous attempts failed. There was a coup in 1958 led by Ayub Khan, martial law imposed by General Yahya Khan in 1969, and martial law imposed by General Zia ul-Haq in 1977, and most recently General Musharraf's coup in 1999. The track record of civilian government in Pakistan is pretty depressing. On the other hand, the track record of military dictators is also equally depressing. The country's caught in a cycle of failed civilian and military regimes. And that's a cycle which is progressively taking the country downhill.
Just to sum up here. I think what you're saying is that the United States should be extremely cautious about repeating the cross-border activity, at least in the last months of this administration until we can get a new dialogue started. Am I reading you correctly?
Correct. Pakistan is an extremely dangerous and unstable country. We need to tread carefully. We need to get the Pakistanis to see this as their war. And that's going to require some major new initiatives on the American side. Commando raids and Predator strikes are not a long term solution to this problem.

Badr Hari to Return to Action in May
- Written by Dave Walsh
After a year of inactivity, Badr Hari will make his return to action in the It's Showtime ring. With K-1 on a hiatus for the moment, and nothing planned or announced as of yet, It's Showtime has been reeling off the show announcements, with a tentative plan for ten or more shows within 2011. In May It's Showtime will make their way to Lyon, France, where Badr Hari will make his return to action against a to-be-decided opponent.
According to Dutch newspaper, De Telegraaf, Simon Rutz has gotten a verbal agreement for the bout and the opponent should be decided within the next two weeks.
"Badr makes his comeback in May," Rutz commented to De Telegraaf. "Hopefully Badr will be doing what he does best: fighting in the ring. He must show that he is among the best fighters in the world."
The fight that fans want to see the most would be against Hesdy Gerges, who is currently booked to fight on March 6th, taking on Daniel Ghita. At It's Showtime's christmas show at the Sands, they also announced that he would be defending his title, most likely at the ArenA show. With the ArenA show not happening, one can only speculate that they will try to assemble a rematch between the two a year later.
There are a plethora of match-ups involving Badr Hari that fans would love to see, including a rubber match against current K-1 World Grand Prix Champion, Alistair Overeem, but Overeem might be tied up in the Strikeforce Heavyweight GP and be unable to make a fight in May. Nod to Simon Raedts for diligently reading de Telegraaf and alerting us to the news.

—Submitted photo
How many professors celebrate their retirement from the university by giving a public concert that fills a large downtown church? I think Sunday afternoon's concert in Gower Street United Church, entitled "Thank you, Dr. Dunsmore," was a first. Douglas Dunsmore, professor of music, put on a splendid, two-hour show for friends and family, young and old, from far and near.
It began with the Memorial University of Newfoundland Chamber Choir singing a capella from the high second balcony at the back of the church.
Busy in retirement
That was followed by laudatory remarks by Dr. Ellen Waterman, dean of Memorial's school of music, who announced that Dunsmore has been appointed the inaugural director of the Bruneau Centre for Excellence in Choral Music, thereby bringing the number of jobs he has back up to four, since he will continue as choirmaster at Gower Street United Church, as conductor of the Newfoundland Symphony Orchestra's Philharmonic Choir, and as artistic director of Festival 500: Sharing the Voices, which he co-founded. He will not be bored.
The show moved on quickly with singers from MUN's Festival Choir performing in the choir loft and from the front sections of the balconies on both sides of the church. Gower Street United is St. John's answer to Toronto's Massey Hall, and in the course of the concert Dunsmore had the singers and musicians assume changing positions on three different levels and all around the corridor of the large first balcony. He was sometimes facing the choir loft, sometimes facing the audience. There wasn't a dull moment. When the choir performed Kirby Shaw's arrangement of Paul Simon's "Bridge Over Troubled Water," Dunsmore had the audience clapping along on the off-beat.
While this was not a one-man show — as Dunsmore wittily remarked, "There is no choral music for unaccompanied conductor" — there was no denying that Dunsmore was the prime mover, and so it seemed fitting he was also the MC, saying just enough to heighten our appreciation of what we heard and saw.
Sampling his career
The works he chose spanned his whole career. The Chamber Choir sang C.V. Stanford's "The Blue Bird," a piece Dunsmore conducted the first year he was here. He likes the song. It's slow and dreamy.
At MUN, Dunsmore developed a graduate program in choral conducting, and in mid-program on Sunday he stepped aside to let two of his students conduct a piece each: alumnus Chad Stride; and current student Leah Antle. Antle just about stole the show when she conducted the Chamber Choir in Thomas Morley's lively "Now is The Month of Maying," taking it at a good clip, with the choir singing most precisely with perfect enunciation. It looked easy. Antle got maximum effect with minimum gestures. Such promising young conductors are Doug Dunsmore's legacy. As Ellen Waterman said, he has mentored literally thousands of students.
Part of Dunsmore's magnetism is his enthusiasm for trying new things, in which he usually succeeds. In Sunday's concert he had the Chamber Choir perform a percussive song in Finnish! An English translation was provided.
The large voluntary turnout from the Alumni Festival Choir was a great tribute to Dunsmore's continuing work in the community. I know people who are inspired by every practice. One member of the choir, Sarah Rose, who currently teaches in MUN's Department of Linguistics, chose this opportunity to donate her mother's magnificent 1972 Steinway baby grand piano to Gower Street United Church. Sarah is about to relocate to British Columbia, and wanted to leave her beautiful piano here "in appreciation for all the music that Newfoundland has given her." Its mellifluous tones as Timothy Brennan accompanied the Alumni Choir in "The Road Not Taken" held the promise of wonderful piano concerts to come.
Shifting his energy
Before the rousing final piece, — John Rutter's "Gloria," with the MUN Brass Ensemble and Ki Adams on the organ — Susan Knight, Chancellor of Memorial University, choral director, and longtime friend and colleague of Dunsmore, said that in retiring he is just shifting his energy, and we are the richer for it. She praised him as a teacher, administrator, and organizer who has given all of himself all of the time, who has poured the energy of his life into making things happen. Knight compared Dunsmore to Tennyson's "Ulysses," quoting the lines:
I am a part of all that I have met;
Yet all experience is an arch wherethrough
Gleams that untraveled world, whose margin fades
For ever and for ever when I move.
How dull it is to pause, to make an end,
To rust unburnished, not to shine in use!
Dunsmore certainly shines in use!
I think everyone in the audience was there because Dunsmore's work as a choral conductor has touched them in some way. I have my own memory. As I heard Knight mention his compassion for those who are ill, my mind went back to a stormy Friday, Oct. 27, 2000, when Dunsmore took the MUN Chamber Choir and the Philharmonic Choir of the Newfoundland Symphony Orchestra to Bell Island at very short notice to join the St. Michael's Church Choir there in the moving Celebration of the Life of Charles Joseph Bown, a former student who died at the age of 37.
Thank you, Dr. Dunsmore.

This article originally appeared in the July 5, 1977 issue of the Boston Phoenix.
It was January of 1975, one of those ten-degree winter mornings, it was 5 a.m., and an unlikely pair of Combat Zone habitués found themselves shivering in a van near the intersection of Boylston, Washington and Essex Streets. They were Deborah Beckerman — the hustling, self-styled Combat Zone "public-relations consultant"-and John Sloan, the Boston Redevelopment Authority planner charged with "upgrading" the seedy appearance of the area that two months earlier had been officially designated as Boston's very own "Adult Entertainment District."
And they had dragged themselves down there at that absurd hour to make sure the crew scheduled to take down the mammoth, and appropriately garish, "Boston House of Pizza" sign really showed up.
Well, the crew did finally show, about an hour-and-a-half late, and Sloan and Beckerman, as neophyte civic improvers, naively thought their little mission was accomplished. Hardly, however, had the work crew removed the big red "P" from the big red "PIZZA" on that tacky sign, when who should suddenly make the scene but Police Superintendent John Doyle who demanded to be told by whose authority the sign was being dismantled.
This gave the pizza shop's proprietor, who had from the beginning been none to pleased with the prospect of losing his sign, the incentive to lodge a protest against said action; a BRA lawyer then summoned to settle the dispute and elected to side with the pizza-shop owner, against Sloan. "Leave it up," the lawyer told the puzzled work crew. "Take the damn thing down," rejoined Beckerman, even as she worried that she and Sloan might get arrested for larceny — that big red "P" was sitting rather conspicuously in the back of Sloan's van.
The dispute was not resolved until Teddy Venios, the fellow who purportedly controls more Zone establishments than anyone else, showed up and assured all that, yes, he had authorized removal of the godawful sign as a contribution to the push to class up the area. The sign came down, and that "P" ended up on a wall in the office of Robert Kenney, then the BRA's director — a trophy from a skirmish that at the time seemed a crucial victory in the agency's innovative crusade to make downtown Boston safe for obscenity.
But the pizza-sign incident — in which not only two city agencies but a planner and a lawyer from the same agency found themselves at cross-purposes — proved illustrative of this whole confused, conflicting, and ultimately self-defeating urban planning venture. In addition, after all, to the street squabble, there's the question of why the sign was to be dismantled in the wee hours of a bitterly cold morning in the first place. Because Teddy Venios made the arrangements, that's why. And he knew some guys who would come, probably on their own time, to take the thing down. For nothing.
"The people down there are sort of different," an older, probably grayer, and certainly wiser John Sloan told the Phoenix recently. "There's something enjoyable for them, I think, about cutting corners or going one step beyond what the law allows." This "one step beyond" principle applies, apparently, not only to the occasional extracurricular activities of strippers and B-girls, but also to such routine procedures as taking out building permits. "They couldn't understand," said Sloan, "why they needed permits to remodel or put up signs. They wanted to just do it."

Family: Parulidae, Wood Warblers view all from this family
Description ADULT MALE Has mostly black upperparts, but with striking orange patches on wings and base of tail. Head, neck, and chest are black, with orange on sides of breast and flanks, and otherwise white underparts. ADULT FEMALE Has greenish gray back, wings, and tail, grayish head, and grayish white underparts; orange elements of male's plumage are yellow. IMMATURE Similar to adult female, although some (probably females) have only indistinct yellow color on wings and some males show orange tone to color on flanks and side of breast. First-spring females like adult females; first-spring males show some adult feather details. Full adult plumage is acquired with subsequent molt.
Dimensions Length: 4 1/2-5 1/2" (11-14 cm)
Habitat Very common summer visitor (present mainly May-Aug) to a wide range of wooded habitats, including mature gardens and secondary woodland; range extends across much of the region. Winters mainly in Central and South America, but a few linger in southern Florida.
Observation Tips Easy to see, fun to watch, and usually not especially bothered by people.
Range Texas, Eastern Canada, Western Canada, California, Southeast, Great Lakes, New England, Mid-Atlantic, Alaska, Florida, Northwest, Plains, Rocky Mountains, Southwest
Voice Song is a thin, sweet see-see-see-see-shweer; call is a thin chip.
Discussion Familiar and well-marked wood-warbler, male of which is stunning. All birds forage actively, often fanning tail to reveal colorful patches at base (orange in adult male, yellow in other plumages); this behavior may startle insect prey allowing easier detection. Sexes are dissimilar.

Roasting with Barrington Coffee
I recently visited Barrington Coffee at their roastery in Lee, MA, in the heart of the Berkshires. Roastmaster Brian Heck, along with fellow coffee alchemist Paul, guided me through Barrington's process of coaxing the delicate aromas and fine flavors out of their unroasted, green coffee beans. It takes an artisan's practiced touch, a connoisseur's critical taste, and a farmer's dedication to his crop to create the consistently outstanding coffees Barrington is known for.
Brian began by guiding me through the roasting process, from bag to finished bean. Barrington Coffee has three roasters, the largest handling up to 60 lbs. and the smallest able to roast as little as 1/4 lb. at a time. When I visited, Brian and Paul were manning all three roasters, producing select origin as well as blended coffees. Continue Reading »

Fly High [1]
Josh Bixler of Flite-Test and Jim Bixler will be presenting to teens a look at the future of aviation on Thursday, September 26, from 3:30-5:00 p.m., as they demonstrate a computer aided drone and miniature airplanes. They will also be discussing current and future careers in aviation, such as flying for utility companies in line inspection, flying for cities in traffic management and obtaining air quality samples, and flying for police surveillance.
Teens will have the chance for a "hands-on" experience as they work a computer simulation flight control and the remote control for the miniature airplanes. A demonstration will be given of an " Unmanned Aerial System (U.A.S.) ", also known as a drone, which will fly over Alliance.
This free event is open to all teens, ages 12-18, and will start in Rodman main auditorium, then move outside. No registration is required. For more information on the miniature airplanes and U.A.S., visit flitetest.com or Flight Test - YouTube to see these models soar.

Try and name 20 people who are actively campaigning Chocolate labs in field trials? When I say campaigning I mean running at least 15 trials a year. The percentage has to be based on participation and there are only a handful that have devoted this amount of time. On a side note everyone I know that is has a titled chocolate.
As Dr. stated. There is less color prejudice today but it is still there.
In obx4me"s example I believe that "serious" field trialers would take the black dogs first and they would be males.
If that same litter had 3 chocolate males I doubt if more than one would be placed in a Ft home.
The good news is at least more are making it to the game. 20 - 30 years ago you'd be lucky to see a chocolate at a trial let alone a FC.
Just my opinion.

West Coast, I personally know of 4 actively running brown dogs, 2 running Amateur, and 2 that are young; a QAA, who won't be able to be bred, and a derby prospect, very nice owners that are into brown. I bet they're more of the younger dogs, a certain female, her dad and her uncle have done a lot to change the people's opinions of brown. I just wish there were more to watch on the west coast circuit, there used to be, until everyone moved east.

Thread: 5 Gal NANO Plans
5 Gal NANO Plans
I think I am going to delve into salt water.
I found a local store that only deals in marine supplies and fish. I went in to do some trading with him on some light equipment I had since it was for salt water and I have fresh.
He was willing to trade me for a pico tank (full set up), water, sand, rock, mushrooms, and some inverts for 50.00 and my equipment. I did not do it. I wanted to check with you guys first.
While I was there I talked to this guy that told me he saw a setup with 2 small tanks one being a sump. The guy made a custom cabinet for it.
I did a little research and came up with the below drawing.
I would like this to be my summer project.
I think I could get two 5 Gal glass tanks and two glass tops for my equipment on trade now. I might be able to get a pump for the sump also.
I want to have some coral, mushrooms, and shrimp.
Do you think this will work? Also what size pumps and pipe size do you suggest?
If you think this looks like trouble please let me know.
I will continue to read the posts on the forum but wanted to get your thoughts before I jump in.
Thank you1 20 gal zebra danios/cory cats

good idea for the sump, i was about to say you should start w/ a 10g because the extra volume makes it 100 times more forgiving and easier to care for but you already have 10g! The decreased area for animals from your display tank being only 5g will give you an easier to manage bio loadv^-Kai-^v
"Opportunities multiply as they are seized"
-Sun Tzu
I see one serious issue you are going to run into. While the combined volume of your system would be 10gal, the volume of each component will only be 5gal, and the sump will likely only have about 4gal in it. Here's where the major issue is going to come in: evaporation. In a 10gal nano tank with no overflow and no sump, the flow is limited to the tank and limited surface movement. In what you are proposing, you will have a drop from the main tank to the sump, and you will greatly increase your surface movement, and thus greatly increase your evaporation. Now, unless you are prepared to install an auto topoff system in that sump, you are going to be fighting an evaporation battle that is going to be nearly impossible to win. Honestly, I think you would be far better off with a 10gal tank and no sump.Considering a Marine Aquarium? A Breakdown of the Components, Live Rock, Cycling a Marine Tank
"The capacity to learn is a gift; The ability to learn is a skill; The WILLINGNESS to learn is a choice." - Unknown
Im going to offer a different opinion. The best advice I can give is to research before you buy anything, And by research I am referring to getting a few good books AND reading the stickys and some tanks journals here on the forum.
Honestly, I would not recommend anything smaller than a 40 gallon breeder for your first tank. It is a lot harder to maintain water parameters in about 8 to 9 gallons of water.
It may seam like a good deal, but Im just concerned your first experience in SW could end up not being a positive one
IMO, I would wait until you have the money for a bigger set-up
Just a concernIf you take your time to do the research FIRST, you can successfully set-up and keep ANY type of aquarium with ease.

Waldorf Wave
Waldorf has realized and created one of the biggest and best wavetable synthesizers around. Wavetable synthesis has been widely used in early digital synths like the SCI ProphetVS, Korg Wavestations and the PPG Wave. At first glance the Wave could intimidate most. However for a digital synth, the Wave has a very clear and intuitive design and layout.
This is a digital synth. Samples of waveforms or wavetables are manipulated and combined to create exciting new sounds as well as complex sounds, drones and pads. The filters are analog! There are two, a 24dB low pass and a 12dB high pass. And they've got resonance, distortion and self oscillation. Other unique enhancements to the Wave involve expansion. It comes with 16 voices that can be expanded up to 48 voices. The Wave is also semi-modular with hardware and software expansion options.
The Wave is one of Waldorfs' finest synthesizers and probably one of the most advanced wavetable synths ever. A much smaller rack version of the Wave is the Microwave series. The Wave is a professional instrument with a price tag that probably suites it for the most successful of musicians. Most of us interested in the Wave should consider the Microwave series for access to some of the same great sounds and power found in the Wave. It has been used by Eat Static, Enya, Hans Zimmer, Deep Forest, The Orb, and Depeche Mode.

Yup remember Ethel Weber's cookies. So my brother starting teaching probably after you graduated in 1999? Right!
Good thread everyone..lots of learning!!!
Graduated in 99 I wish. LOL
I'll tell ya what: this thread has really made my dog's pedigree come to life for me and I really appreciate it! Now I look at the famous names and have a story and history to tie to that name. How cool!!! Flyer is curled in a ball on her cushy bed by the couch right now - I look at her and see a universe of great storied dogs! So neat.
Special thanks to Glenda for sending me sooo much information to read - still not through it all. And all of you great Golden folks who added to this thread.
One neat thing I realized tonight, was that John Gunn - owner/handler of Stanley Steamer - apparently imported a pup from Britain called Osmington Anya. She was then bred to Topbrass Cotton (1/2 Uk via Barty) to create Anya's Brassy Boss "Buck", also owned by John. Buck was then bred to Sungold Superbrass (line bred on Barty on both sides) to create Stanley's Dam. That's a lot of Barty and a lot of UK. There's a lot of Treunair blood in Stanley's ped, too. Maybe I should call John and pick his brain!
Best in show, maybe not. But a finished champion, I think yes.
It's hard to judge the angles in his rear because of the way he's standing, but he looks very balanced. Nice amount of bone, nice neck set, lovely muzzle/stop/ear set. Perfect tailset. Hard to judge his topline, again because of the way he's standing, but it looks solid.
Gorgeous dog.
I'm surprised that no one has mentioned Val Walker's balanced approach to breeding working Goldens and her contributions to the breed!
Franco, I never figured you a knowledgeable Golden guy, go figure. Cool...

Dutch Kickboxing Legend Ramon Dekkers Passes Away at Age 43
- Written by Dave Walsh
A serious misfortune has struck the international Kickboxing and Muay Thai community as reports have surfaced that legendary Dutch striker Ramon "Diamond" Dekkers has passed away today at the young age of 43. Reports are coming out of his home town of Breda today that Dekkers was riding his bike when he collapsed in a tunnel after feeling light-headed. A few bystanders attempted to assist him before emergency services arrived and attempted to revive him to no avail.
Dekkers is a former 8-time world champion and one of the first Dutch Kickboxers to really make an impact in Thailand. He was instrumental in helping the sport of Kickboxing to evolve to what it is today and will always be remembered for his accomplishments in and out of the ring.

During the rainy season here we get a lot of water, a little over 48" on average. Where we live drains a good sized watershed that is is mostly unbuildable so the storm water will stay fairly clean with lots of little frogs to attest to that. So a pond was in order & one of the local pond gurus came & gave me some pointers. It's a pond with a lot of features that you can build on when you go off property for training. & I can regulate the depth of the water. It does dry up from August till rainy season starts again for maintenance.
Yesterday eating breakfast I am watching about about 100 some odd honks land in flights of 10 to 30 - they would circle above the pond & without moving forward much would hover down the 50 to 60 yards they were above the pond. Mixed in with the 50 or so Widgeon that pass through in the spring & the many mallards plus other little guys it was a real pond full. As we go out to do the morning exercise for the dogs the pond erupts, seems a juvenile baldy decided there may be a meal in the pond. Fortunately for the ducks he was unable to maneuver through the features so ended up empty clawed.
This morning just after day break I take Mini out for her morning constitutional. She immediately goes into the routine she uses to signal something is amiss & watches. I finally see the Elk herd North of our property & for the next 20 minutes we are treated to the Elk passing through. All cows right now but will calve shortly & up the herd about 50%.
Nothing like living in the city with your own wildlife park .

TUPELO – Ticket sales for the inaugural Tupelo Craft Beer Festival are going well, its organizer says, with a third of the allotted 1,000 sold.
"We're pleased with the response so far," said Matt Leff, of Nashville-based Rhizome Productions, which is putting on the event.
The March 2 festival will be from noon to 5 p.m. at Veterans Park, and will feature at least 30 brewers from across the country and about 100 different beers.
Leff, who has produced beer festivals in Nashville, Chattanooga and Texas, said he expects to reach the halfway point in ticket sales soon.
He also expects a big walkup crowd the day of the festival. Rascal Flatts will have a concert at the BancorpSouth Arena later that day.
"From an organizational standpoint, we'd like to know how many to expect, but we've prepared to expect up to 1,000 people," he said.
Advance tickets are $35 and can be bought online at www.tupelocraftbeerfest.com. At the gate, they're $40. Only adults 21 and over are allowed to buy tickets.
The ticket price includes a glass brandy snifter for tasting and samples of the beer.
Designated driver tickets for $10 also are being sold. They do not include a glass.
Leff said security will check IDs, and festival organizers will ensure none of the designated driver ticket holders get any beer samples.
"We've had people try," he said.
Those under 21 also will not be allowed into the festival, he added.
Volunteers will help at the event, and Rick Gladish, who's pulling them together for the Tupelo-Lee Humane Society, said he's signed up 35 so far.
"We could use another 15 to 20," he said. "Each volunteer gets into the event for free, a free souvenir tasting glass, a volunteer T-shirt and time to sample the products as well."
