Visitation Friday, Service Saturday
Joseph Steeley, 82, a resident of Poughquag for 17 years and formerly of Patterson, passed away Tuesday, January 25, 2011, at Vassar Brothers Medical Center in Poughkeepsie.
Born in Oneida, NY, on February 8, 1928, he was the son of the late Capt. Joseph and Ruth (Jertsen) Steeley. He served his country as a United States Marine beginning in 1944 during World War II. He was recalled to the Marine Corps during the Korean War where he completed a combat tour of duty, engaging with enemy combatants.

Mr. Steeley worked for 35 years as a Wildlife Biologist for the N.Y.S. Department of Environmental Conservation, retiring in 1992.
An avid hunter and trapper his entire life, Mr. Steeley was also an accomplished bowler. After retirement he became an active member with the Senior Swingers League of Carmel.
He is survived by his wife, Ruth (Morita) Steeley at home; two sons, Christopher of Cooperstown, and Joseph of Poughquag; two daughters, Linda Akin of Patterson, and Jill Steeley of Beacon; three sisters, Kristin Mastro of Ulster Park, Karen Steeley of Lake George, and Stephanie Wilhelm of Carlisle, PA; and six grandchildren, David, Matthew, and Andrew Akin, and Michael, Lisa, and Kimberly Steeley.

Runes of Magic is a free to play MMORPG that has the potential to easily compete with subscription based games like World of Warcraft. With the quality of its content, amazing list of features, and steady implementation of new content and patches, Runes of Magic is not an experience to be missed. Anyone willing to shrug Runes of Magic off purely because it's free to play, will be missing out on one of the best MMORPG experiences ever created. Perfect World International was an impressive free to play game, but it still played like a free to play game. Runes of Magic on the other hand is a free to play game with the gameplay and features of a subscription based game, and the big boys have reason to be scared of it. As such I will be reviewing Runes of Magic as if it were a pay to play game, because it deserves that much at least. I will get this out of the way right now though, the interface is influenced heavily by World of Warcraft. It's very similar, so much so that it's been called a World of Warcraft rip-off, but it was a good move on the developers part instead of making a completely unintuitive interface just to be different.
Since the release of Blizzard's amazingly popular World of Warcraft and its expansions, it's been impossible for new massively multiplayer online role-playing games to avoid the inevitable comparisons. That's probably for the best in the case of Runes of Magic, for while the aforementioned games have some superficial similarities to this one, their core designs are far different. Runes of Magic, for better or for worse, hearkens back to the older days, when in-game death was more than just a slight annoyance and groups camped for bosses that rarely spawned. But by doing its own thing, Azeroth be damned, Runes of Magic sets itself apart, thanks to complex features and being a completely free to play experience. It's also rough around the edges, exhibiting all the bugs and glitches of a game not quite ready for release. Yet Runes of Magic is quite friendly to genre newc****s, and has enough rewarding gameplay to please experienced adventurers willing to overlook its technical hitches.
In Runes of Magic, home is the world of Taborea, which features eight huge regions and cities, one playable race, and six classes. While the choices may seem limited, you are able to use a primary and secondary class, with most of the combinations fitting archetypes and group roles familiar to anyone who's played an MMORPG before. The Knight is your usual heavily armored tank, while the Warrior is a well equipped weapons melee spe******t. The Rogue is a stealthy backstabbing melee spe******t, while the Scout is a long ranged bow and crossbow spe******t. Priests take up the role of healing, and Mages use their arcane powers to destroy enemies with impressive power. There are a good number of ways to modify your avatar's physical appearance, so you could easily spend quite some time deciding on the look and purpose of your character. Once in the game, a system of pop-up messages guides you through an optional beginning tutorial instance, then you're off to explore, quest, and level. The starting quests are genre standards familiar to anyone who's played an MMORPG before, but once you've gained a few levels, you'll find just how daunting Taborea can get.
The first and obvious challenge once you are around level ten is that you need to get a secondary class. That isn't to say its required, but consistent grinding without one is a good way to get quickly frustrated. If you're mainly a solo player, you may get frustrated later on regardless if you have a secondary class or not. Some quests are obviously designed for groups, even if they're not necessarily identified as such in your quest log, and soloing what should seem like a simple mission can result in quick death if you aren't careful. Even with a full group, some areas and dungeons can be a time-consuming challenge, particularly because Runes of Magic features some instanced and some open areas. As a result, you might need to wait a while before the boss you need to vanquish reappears after the last group's battle. Multipart group dungeons may take a few hours to get through, and even with a good party, a simple mistake can cost you your character's life.
That cost can be pretty high, since resurrection entails experience loss, training loss, and a trip back to your tombstone, assuming you want to regain some of that experience. You may choose to ignore your tombstone, but at higher levels, the amount of time you need to put into regaining all the lost experience is intimidating. In any MMO, returning to your tombstone in a monster-infested dungeon may be next to impossible, and the additional loss of experience often makes the penalty even more frustrating in Runes of Magic. There's no experience loss by falling to the sword of another player on the player-versus-player server, which eliminates the need to retrieve your tombstone but means your killer can potentially loot equipment you're wearing. On the PvP server, PvP is "open". That means there are only a few limitations on who can be attacked and who cannot. Through your PvP achievements, your character gains (or loses) reputation and can move either way to become a Hero, fighting for Good or an evil Demon, slaughtering all in their wake. Along with the usual duels and arenas common to the genre, that's the only PvP content Runes of Magic offers so far. Battlegrounds and Guild Wars are in development though, but who knows when we'll see their release.
But if exploring Taborea is riskier business than we're used to seeing in MMOs over the last few years, playing a character in Runes of Magic is even more unique. Much of this is thanks to the dual-class system, giving Runes of Magic 30 unique class combinations for players to choose from. Each combination becomes more its own when your character reaches fifteen in both classes and obtains its first elite skill. Elite skills are combination specific abilities that ensure a unique experience with your combination. The combat in Runes of Magic is satisfying and fun, as some spells and abilities can be triggered only if certain criteria are met. For example, a stunned opponent may open up an attack not normally available. Because those attacks can be powerful, managing your skills and available source(s) of energy adds some welcome strategy to your choice of abilities at any given time. Class combinations and group chemistry make battles feel dynamic, especially considering your character doesn't need to stand still to perform most skills.
Runes of Magic supports add-ons, but also has some amazing built in gameplay enhancers of its own, similar to some of the most popular add-ons for WoW. The quest log contains a wealth of information, guaranteeing you won't get lost while traveling to the next stop in a quest line. The compass shows harvesting nodes with appropriate icons, as well as tracking dots for mobs and environment triggers needed in quests you have in your quest log. When you hover over a mob that is required for a quest, the tooltip will tell you how many more are needed. There's also a quest tracker, a point and click auto-travel feature, an NPC and monster search function, an extremely in-depth macro system, and many other useful additions that the developers cared enough to have built into the game right from the start. Although these features are great to have built right into the client, the add-on community support for Runes of Magic is extremely impressive. There are hundreds of useful add-ons for Runes of Magic, many of which are usually updated a few hours after a patch.
There's also plenty of crafting and harvesting to do, and making a finalized and useful product is a task similar to the system in World of Warcraft. Creating a single item requires a recipe, ingredients, and a particular workbench. There are four levels of skill involved with crafting and harvesting; apprentice, craftsman, spe******t, and master. You can learn as many professions as you wish on the apprentice rank, can become a craftsman in six trades, be a spe******t in three and ultimately master one profession. Additionally, progressing in crafting can be expensive for the required recipes of a particular profession. For example, if you want to pursue a harvesting profession, you would need to buy certain recipes from the appropriate NPC in order to convert higher tiered materials into usable ingredients for the crafting professions. Recipes can get quite costly at later tiers, especially since the only useful recipes are rarely dropped from enemies in the wild. Because of this, you'll find yourself looking for recipes at the Auction House more often than you'd like. It's an involved process to be sure, but producing a useful product is rewarding.
Runes of Magic's most unfriendly characteristic is its overall lack of polish. To its credit, it launched without a hitch with an updated website, forums board and patch, and server disconnects are relatively uncommon. Unfortunately, a number of bugs infest the game, while some other features are completely absent. Getting stuck in geometry requires you to use your recall ability, unless you've already used it which forces you to wait an hour while the skill cools down. Much of the game is also silent, with a noticeable lack of music, ambient noise, and sound effects for a majority of the content in Runes of Magic. Broken quest triggers, unexplainable lag, and other frustrating issues have popped up frequently since release. Lag spikes will hold up combat for several seconds, or even cause an action in progress to stop while still costing you the time the skill requires.
Surprisingly, though, some of the missing features don't have much of an impact on the beauty of the visuals. Many of Taborea's areas are stunning, from both an artistic and technological standpoint. The detailed settings and colorful desert surroundings of Dustdevil Canyon is one notable example, but exploration in all of the areas reveals plenty of dramatic landmarks. The splendor doesn't translate evenly, though. Some of the environments are inconsistent, and many of the dungeons and enemies are graphically uninspired. And as pretty as most of it is, the game engine seems to keep up pretty well. A mid-range system can see Taborea in all its glory, but even on a high-performance PC Runes of Magic may lag while trying to load each and every character within a city. When adventuring outside of a city area though, you'll be running at a stable framerate.
The soundtrack is attractive when it's playing in the background, but most of the time you'll be trapped in a void of silence. When you can hear the musical tracks, they sound nice but don't necessarily reflect the local environment well. The few combat and ambient noises that can be heard are what you would expect, although some enemies are eerily silent when attacked. Also, don't expect the pleasant NPC chatter from EverQuest 2, or witty WOW-ish quips; NPCs in Runes of Magic are mute, though the quest descriptions are full of personality.
Features like player housing, guild halls, and arenas will extend Runes of Magic's life for players approaching the top level of 50, and even with plenty of room for future questing content, there's a lot to see and do. But Runes of Magic is undoubtedly not for everyone. Multiple bugs, class balance issues, some forced grouping, and a vocal player community sensitive to criticism and change currently keep players looking for an easygoing adventuring experience at arm's length. But Runes of Magic gets a lot right, and the engaging combat and nifty features are more than enough reason for genre enthusiasts to give it a shot. Sure it's a free to play game, but put the monetary transactions aside for a moment. A subscription fee doesn't automatically make an MMO great, so why should the lack of a subscription fee make an MMO trash? A great game is a great game regardless of the fee it requires, so give Runes of Magic a try. The only thing you have to lose is some time and bandwidth, though I highly doubt you'll be disappointed.

CONSHOHOCKEN, Pa. - Ikea announced that it plans to install solar energy panels on two East Coast stores: Paramus, N.J. and Stoughton, Mass. Pending governmental permits, rooftop installation will begin in the new year, with completion expected in spring 2011. The plans bring the number of U.S. Ikea locations that will have a solar energy system to a total of 13. According to the company, these two systems will represent the largest store-top solar installations for Ikea in the United States.
The Paramus, NJ and Stoughton, MA stores will be outfitted with solar energy systems and with corresponding clean energy equivalents (based on calculations from www.epa.gov/cleanenergy/energy-resources/calculator.html), Ikea reported.
"We are excited about this investment by Ikea in using renewable energy on the East Coast to complement our recently announced plans in California," said Mike Ward, Ikea U.S. president. "This approach is consistent with our commitment to sustainable building practices and reducing our carbon footprint. We always are open to environmental technologies and are thrilled our evaluation deemed these projects feasible for Ikea."


text: My buddy mentioned to me that he was thinking of getting a stormy suit. He was looking on eBay and I told him to wait until I got some input from TDH. He doesn't want to spend a lot of money, so I was thinking the Rubies suit but I haven't seen it other than seller pics so I don't know how bad it is. He said that if he has the suit and if my boba is done by next year we will hit the Philly comic con next year with them.

So, what did you play / do / accomplish today in the world of gaming?
I played ArcheAge(RU) for about 2 hours. I hit level 30 on my second character I have been spending a lot of time ganking people in my level range and knocking higher level players off the tops of cliffs. Nothing beats killing a player 2.5x your level.

to "theft is good" today
This movement is rapidly growing. Its light is shining brighter every day.
Since the Holy Crown has sovereignty it also owns property. During the era of Andrew II and Bela IV, (13th century) the notion of "inalienable crown properties" was created to provide special protection to the public wealth jointly owned by the nation and the monarch. The reason for this was the emergence of a power player at the time: private banks that brought along mortgage. A new property law therefore required that real estate owned by the Holy Crown could not be sold or given away so as not to impose mortgage on the state.
we'll never know if you can't/won't provide some, will we?
It would be great if someone else 'tried' to teach lesson 2 :-D
""TURN OFF THAT DARN TV!! or better yet, throw it out the door""WHAT?? Tbeek said something that actually makes sense. HOORAH!!Now if he will just open his eyes to the real world.

Guess what? You don't have to quit wooting just because your loins have borne fruit. As of today, Kids.Woot is here to take that money you used to waste on brown Zunes and LeakFrogs and waste it on infrared thermometers and LeapFrogs instead. For the whole story, check out the Kids.Woot FAQ – it's like a baby book without the footprints.
First things first: this is not a site for your kids to play on, OK? Kids.Woot is here to sell high-quality, useful child-oriented products. And maybe some low-quality, useless ones, too. Like Woot, Shirt.Woot, and Sellout.Woot, Kids.Woot will offer a new deal every day at midnight, seven days a week. The prices will be low, the quantities will be limited, the products will not be revealed in advance – you know how this works by now. And like the old commercial used to say, "It's just no experience for no kids, my age or anyone younger."
Best of all, if you're a parent, you will no longer have to share your Wootspace with the frivolous, petty concerns of those who have never struggled beneath the awesome responsibilities of parenthood. Maybe when those jerks get older, we'll start DyingAloneAndUnmourned.Woot. One day, they'll understand.
Ask any baby and they'll tell you: they need structure, discipline, a firm hand to guide them through these tender years. So tell us what we've done right on day one, what we're doing wrong, and what we can do better. Let us know exactly what you'd like to see on Kids.Woot. Make sure you've taken a careful look at our new site Terms & Conditions - if you're using this or any other Woot site, you're agreeing to them by default, so you might want to know what they say. And be patient with the site when it goes astray, as it inevitably will in its first days. It's just a baby.
First on kids.woot!!
Yay, my kid needs much more scaffolding!
Go Kids, Go!
wrong link for the FAQ...
Might want to update the the Kids.Woot FAQ to point to http://kids.woot.com/WhatIsWoot.aspx vs the wine.woot.com WhatIsWoot page ;)
Is this where those Hollywood types buy childrens from strange and foreign lands?
That's exciting. Glad I don't have little ones or I'm sure there would be more money being poured into woot.
Congrats on the new site!
YAY! Bring on the My Little Ponies!!! :-) lol
very nice :D
very cool stuff. what's next?
Bag O' Kiddie Krap?
Should make for many cheap last minute birthday gifts for the slacker parents out there :D
Congratulations on your new arrival!!! I'm looking forward to spending my hard earned money here buying gifts for my niece & nephews :-)

By the way, congrats on the new arrival!
Ooooh how exciting! A new woot site! Now I'll know where to check for all the baby showers I'll be dragged to
Cool idea. Now maybe you guys will put back up that Recaro seat I need another one of! (hint, hint).
YAHOOOOOO! I'm totally psyched about new kids.woot! Now my kid can get even more spoiled for less the cost. Thanks for remembering the little guys!
Well this could be interesting....
Awesome. Just had my 2nd kid and was never going to buy him anything. He was only to receive hand-me-downs. Now he has a glimmer of hope of getting something from kids.woot.com.
Darn! My Youngest starts college tomorrow. Oh well there are always Grandchildren!!!
This is a great idea. Thank you for expanding Woot! to include kids stuff - I mean real kids, the young kind, not the older kids who buy the stuff at Woot! and Shirt.Woot!
If they send stuff via Smartpost, it'll arrive after the kid is no longer a kid...
this is awsome. cant't wait for a kids wootoff!!!
Dang! And we just finalized the adoption. Who knew that we could have picked up a referbed little wooter here?
Congrats on begetting a new site.
How do I follow kids.woot on twitter? (not seeing it in a search)
I'm loving this WOOT - Thanks!
So - does this mean no more shirts with baby bunnies and dinosaurs and pirates on shirt.woot?
I love it! Looking forward to what you'll offer.
btw, I thinks there's already someone squatting on Twitter usernames "wootkids" and "kidswoot" since they don't match woot's other accounts appearance-wise, and today's item isn't there. I hope you will update kids.woot on Twitter, because that's the first place I daily check all woots.

wootkids is us - we just grabbed it a bit late and don't quite have it set up yet. subscribe there to be ready.
I understand some people think this is great, but I can't disagree more. With all of the other great options for a new WOOT like fruit.woot, cheese.woot, candy.woot, reptile.woot, tobacco.woot, s&m.woot or adult.woot, etc, we get this instead. I know people have kids, sorry for those of you, and will buy from here frequently, but it doesn't work for me. See you on the real woot.com.
I'm hoping that whoever there is one of us, and simply grabbed the Twitter usernames so that they could give them to Woot, before someone with evil intent grabs them instead. That's what I'd have done if "wootkids" was still available. Definitely looking forward to getting woken up at midnight by yet another WooTweet.
Edit: I think I'm follower #10.

there could be some advantage to that, though there may be a real battle over days here on kids.woot. perhaps kids.shirt.woot.com is needed (or for that matter bunnies.shirt.woot.com, etc.)

UNM Drops 4-0 Decision at Fresno State
May 5, 2013
New Mexico Lobos Softball - On the Mountain West Road @ Fresno State
Friday, May 3: Fresno State def. Lobos, 3-0
Saturday, May 4: Fresno State def. Lobos 2-1
Sunday, May 5: Fresno State def. Lobos, 4-0
Up Next: Lobos host Colorado State, May 9-11
Game 51 - Fresno State 3, New Mexico 0 | Game 52 - Fresno State 2, New Mexico 1 | Game 53 - Fresno State 4, New Mexico 0
FRESNO, Calif. -- It was another tough day at Dog Diamond for the University of New Mexico softball squad as it was shut out by Fresno State, 4-0, on Sunday afternoon in Mountain West softball action.
The Lobos drop to 21-32 overall and 3-12 in league play. UNM will close out the regular season at home next weekend, May 9-11, as it hosts Colorado State for a three-game MW series.
Fresno State secured the series sweep and improved to 30-22 overall and 11-7 in MW play.
The Lobos again had a hard time getting hits off the Bulldogs' freshman ace Jill Compton. New Mexico managed two off the rookie -- one apiece from freshman Naomi Tellez and senior Sheryl Guillermo.
Compton struck out 12 batters and walked just one en route to her seventh shutout of the season.
It was three up-three down for UNM in all but two innings.
Tellez was the first Lobo to reach base in the top of the second, but the next three batters for UNM struck out. In the sixth, Nykilah Torres drew a walk and an out later, Gullermo hit an infield single, but the next two batters failed to advance the runners and failed to reach.
Fresno State was able to put runners on in every inning. The Bulldogs used a walk, a hit, two stolen bases and a sacrifice fly to take a 1-0 lead in the first inning. The home team added its other three runs in the fourth when UNM ran into pitching and defensive troubles.
Three hits, an error and an illegal pitch aided in the scoring spree and helped the 'Dogs build and hold on to a 4-0 advantage.
The Lobos used a different lineup each game of the series, in large part, due to injuries.
"Compton threw an outstanding game and kept us off balance," head coach Erica Beach said. "We are continuing to battle through adversity and we have to pick things up for next weekend."
Senior pitcher Kaela DeBroeck got the start and tossed three complete innings. She allowed seven hits and two runs (one earned). DeBroeck walked two and struck out two.
Carrie Sheehan made her first appearance in circle since April 7. The sophomore faced seven batters in 2/3 of an inning. She allowed two hits and two runs while walking three and striking out none.
Lauren Soles came in on relief and tossed the final 2 1/3 innings. The freshman faced nine batters and allowed one hit while walking one and striking out two.

Nice collection. Seems like you got it covered.
After spending about an hour looking through photos on here, decided to take my Berettas out of the safe for some photos. Shown are a U22 Neos, px4 .40s&w full, px4 9mm Sub-Compact, and a 84bb. The 84bb is the only one I purchased as used...great shooter and for the price I couldn't pass it up.
Beretta's ARE a beautiful thing......
must admit PX4's are one good looking gun!!
Nice. My PX4 situation is exactly the same. I love them both.
Nice collection

Law and Social Inequality Focus Area
The Law and Social Inequality Focus Area provides a range of courses dealing with disparities based on race, poverty, gender, sexual orientation, ability, age, and immigration status. It includes four foundational courses and a range of more specialized substantive and skills courses, and it culminates with a capstone seminar.
The Law and Social Inequality Focus Area is designed to help students identify and understand the range of legal issues that arise from the structural inequalities within society. As a whole, the courses offer intersectional perspectives on social inequality and lead students to reflect upon the challenges lawyers face in working on behalf of individuals and communities confronting interacting systems of oppression. Skills component courses, which provide students with real experiences of the difficulties that marginalized people face in our legal systems, are a crucial element of this focus. Ultimately, the focus leads to a capstone seminar course, which requires students to draw together and reflect on the various courses and experiences they have had throughout law school and to hear from practitioners in the field about what they are doing to address these issues and what challenges confront them in that work. We expect students to arrive at a more sophisticated understanding of the problems of social inequality and the legal system's contribution to both the creation of societal inequalities and to solutions.
Students Who Should Take this Focus Area
Students might elect to take this focus area for a variety of reasons. Some students may anticipate a career providing legal services to vulnerable populations. Students who hope to practice in small firms may also wish to elect this focus area because many of the issues studied in these courses arise in any setting where a lawyer represents a wide range of individual clients. Other students may choose this focus because of a general concern about issues of social justice, which are at the fore in this area of law. Still others may simply wish to engage in a sustained examination of legal efforts to address critical social problems.
Foundational Courses
Three foundational courses are recommended in this area to help students develop an intersectional understanding of how the law produces and sustains social inequality and how legal tools are used to combat it. Poverty Law provides a broad structural analysis of the creation of wealth disparity and explores the challenges to using legal reform to solve it. Students in Poverty Law are helped to think through critical race studies, critical disability studies and feminist approaches to understanding poverty. US Races and the Justice System addresses the racial and legal history of the major ethnic and racial groups in the United States, exploring competing definitions of race and racism and looking at how race operates in key legal and cultural institutions and systems such as the family, popular culture and the media, and the criminal justice system. Immigration Law focuses on the following aspects of immigration: admission, exclusion, deportation of noncitizens; the acquisition and loss of citizenship; the national security implications of immigration law, and state and federal laws regulating the presence of noncitizens often called "alienage laws." The course is also designed to teach basic skills in interpretation of complex statutes and administrative regulations.
Skills Component Courses
Exposure to real-life problems of poverty law is essential to the focus. Students must take at least one skills course. Skills courses range from 6-credit courses (Youth Advocacy Clinic or Family Law Clinic) to 3-4 credit clinics and externships (Administrative Law Clinic or an Inequality and Poverty Law Externship). The experience and skills gained from these courses are an essential part of the Law and Social Inequality Focus Area. Students are free to take more than one skills course.
Elective Courses
Electives include Child, Family and State, Elder Law, Environmental Justice Seminar, Health Law, Housing Law & Policy Seminar, Immigration Law, Landlord/Tenant Law, Latinos & the Law, Law and Mental Health, Public Health Law, and Race and the Law. Students completing the Law and Social Inequality Focus Area must take at least two of these courses.

Copenhagen is the capital city of Denmark and a lot of people would argue that it is also the capital of all of Scandinavia. The city centre is a modern, vibrant area that can be easily managed on foot, making car rental unnecessary while you are in the city, especially if it is just for a weekend. Copenhagen also has a lot of discount hotels. Copenhagens city centre is full of interesting districts such as Nørrebro, Vesterbro and sterbro. If you are looking for Copenhagen hotels, then EasyToBook.com is a great place to start. Hotels in Copenhagen do not always come cheap however. Copenhagen cheap hotels do become more frequent, and a little easier to find, as you get out from the centre of the city. Things that you certainly shouldnt miss while in Copenhagen are the Rosenborg castle , the Royal Opera House, and, if you are visiting in July, the Copenhagan Jazz festival. You should make an effort to see the Tivoli gardens if you have time.

Arsène Wenger will give the Europa League extra attention this season because of the number of quality sides in the competition.
Both Manchester clubs were eliminated from the Champions League on Wednesday night to leave Arsenal and Chelsea as the Premier League's two representatives in the knockout stages.
It has been suggested that United and City will not prioritise the Europa League as they challenge for their domestic title but Wenger is not so sure.
"When it gets to the quarter-finals the Europa League becomes really serious," he said.
"When you look at the teams who are in the Europa League this season, there are some good teams in there, it is a very interesting competition quality-wise.
"After that, what kind of involvement the clubs will decide to put in, I don't know, but it will be a good competition.
"It is difficult to predict how it [the Manchester clubs' exit from the Champions League] will affect the title race because it is always a big disappointment to go out of the Champions League, how the two teams will respond to that, I don't know.

Frank Lampard has thanked Chelsea's fans for their constant support and helping him to enjoy football while his future remains up in the air.
The 34-year-old has already enshrined himself in club folklore, having played a key part in the Blues' many successes since his arrival in 2001.
Talk has been rife that Lampard's long association with Chelsea will end this summer when his contract expires, although he wants to stay and it is thought there has been some recent contact between player and club.
The 34-year-old remaining at Stamford Bridge would certainly be welcomed by team-mates like John Terry as well as supporters, who yet again sang 'Sign him up, sign him up' during yesterday's 5-1 FA Cup third round win at Southampton.
Lampard netted the fifth goal of the afternoon to become the club's joint second highest scorer of all time and looked particularly emotional during his celebrations.
"They supported me throughout my career here and particularly in recent weeks," he said of the Chelsea fans.
"The way they were with me then is the way they have been recently and all the time I've been here. I just wanted to say thanks back.
"That is our platform to say thanks back when we're on the pitch, to first of all do the business because they pay the money to come and watch and when they have been so good to me, just to say it back to them. That is genuinely how I feel.
"This club has been amazing to me and the club is the fans so I can only thank them.
"I am enjoying my football, I have to say. I am enjoying the moment.
"I know there is a lot of talking going around but I am actually really enjoying playing.
"That's what it is all about really so even if there is certain things going on your head, I think when I run out there and the fans support me the way I do, it can't help but make you a bit emotional."
The penalty took Lampard up to 193 goals, equalling Kerry Dixon's record for the club and putting him joint second behind Bobby Tambling's haul of 202.
"It meant a lot as I have so much respect for Kerry," Lampard said.
"He was a player, is still a personality around the place and a good friend of mine.
"To get anywhere near him and with level I am I am very proud that.
"I haven't spoken to him yet but I am sure I will do.
"I have to say, Kerry has been one of the most supportive people at the club for me as an ex-player as well.
"I have nothing but thanks for him for helping along the way to get level with him."
Lampard's spot-kick also saw him equal Tambling's record of 25 FA Cup goals for Chelsea.
It is competition the Blues have won four of the past six seasons and the midfielder believes yesterday's win at Southampton was important, especially after the shock league defeat to rivals QPR.
"It was good because we have been playing very well and we have been on a run," Lampard said.
"The QPR game wasn't up to our standards. We were probably unfortunate that we didn't score in that game at some stage to make it a win but it wasn't as good as we can be.
"It was very important that we didn't go back into a mini slump like we did in November/December time.
"The reaction of the team today having gone 1-0 down, the teamwork and the confidence to get back into the game to take a clear lead was brilliant."

New Owner - Pacing Outdoors Problem
This is my first post, and I did my best to search for a similar issue. I am fairly familiar with dog care, and have fostered dogs from the shelter. Because I'm on a foster list, I was called when a registered white GS was brought in owner surrendered to be put down. She's 2 years old, and I don't know anything about the previous owner other than she was kept outside in a kennel and was living with a sibling GS that was a male. The owner was moving and gave them up rather than take them and the male had already found a home.
We decided to keep her, and originally gave her free roam of our property. We found that she stayed home while we were there, and learned our work schedule and would leave home soon after we left and go visit the neighboring dogs 1/2 mile away and be home by the time we got back. We live in the middle of nowhere at the end of a dead end road, so traffic is not an issue. When we learned she's a roamer, we got an underground fence and trained her on it. It keeps her contained even though if she's really insistent she'll run through it without wincing to get to one of us if we are separated from her. She lives outdoors 100% of the time. We bought her an insulated and heated dog house for the winter, even though we live in Alabama and it doesn't get extremely cold. She seems to like it.
My wife and I both work and have to drive an hour each way to get to work, so we leave early in the morning and get home after dark. We aren't able to socialize with her as much as we should. We still spend between 30 min to an hour each day in our garage or outside working on training her. However, she's started pacing outdoors. She goes to one part of our property and paces back and forth along the width of the property about 200 feet in the middle of the property (not along the underground wire boundary). I've read posts about dogs pacing when kept up or indoors, but this is the first dog I've seen to pace/jog a distance that far and keep on doing it obsessively. When we come outside she stops and runs to us, but will be back at it later when we leave her alone.
Does anyone have any suggestions on how we can fix this? We want her to be as happy as possible, but our work schedules don't allow for a lot of socialization. We even considered another dog, but even though she seemed to love the dogs 1/2 mile away, our nearest neighbor's dog free roams and she doesn't like him very well. He's also a white a german shepherd and will sometimes visit and steal her food or toys. I would be afraid to commit to another dog that she ends up disliking. We also have indoor cats that prevent her from becoming an indoor/outdoor dog. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
I don't understand why having cats would preclude her from coming inside? I am a cat breeder and have several cats inside and I also have 4 GSD's that live inside with them. One does like to chase, but he is learning. It sounds to me like she needs more stimulation/time with her family.
You make a valid point. Our neighbor has a flock of guineas that come in our yard and our GSD never bothers or chases them. We have two cats, and one is what can only be described as mean. I'm more concerned with the "mean cat" doing something to instigate a fight with the dog while we aren't home and the cat getting injured/killed. It may just take a lot of training and then hoping for the best while we are away, but I don't know if I can get the cat to behave properly with a dog in the house. If I can overcome that hurdle, there's still the one of talking my wife into allowing a large dog in our small home.
Lol, I have a home that is 1600 sq and I have 9 dogs living in there with my husband and I! What I do when we have to leave Jacob alone with the cats is that we put him in a bedroom and put a baby gate across the door. That way, if a cat gets in and wants to get out and away from him, the cat can get out and he can't. Works for us :) I have a couple of cats that let the dogs know that they mean business and it only takes a swat or two before they get the lesson :)
You fix it by either spending time with her, keeping her inside (she still needs training at this point), or rehoming her. These are not dogs to be left to their own devices all day, every day, with no interaction or socialization. The only way keeping them outdoors works is to spend a LOT of time with them...much more than 30-60 mins a day.
There is no quick fix for boredom/anxiety/OCD-potential behaviors such as pacing other than stimulate the dog.
A working breed such as this means that a bored dog is an anxious dog...and an anxious dog is probably going to develop a whole host of other problems. I'm sort of baffled by leaving her outdoors unattended in the first place and then wondering why she'd "leave when you left"? Is she not contained in any way to begin with? This isn't safe for the dog, for a variety of reasons...not just traffic. Also, if she's so anxious... she's a huge liability. At the very, very least, contain her in a meaningful way... the more bored she gets, the more "insistent" she'll become.
If you get home after dark, install lights outside so that you can train/play/etc after dark. Bring her inside to train/play/etc. Bring her inside in general.
Adding another dog to the mix is not going to solve the problem, rather leave you with TWO bored, anxious, understimulated dogs who now see each other as a pack where you have no place.
Good luck. I don't mean to be harsh, it just sounds like for the sanity of both the dog and YOU, you seriously need to re-evaluate whether or not you guys can provide the right home environment. It's never a good feeling feeling like you're not doing right by your dog.
My house is pretty small and we have four dogs(two big, two small) and 3 cats living in it so it is doable!
There may be better people better qualified on how to introduce cats with an older dog, all of mine were raised from puppies with the cats.
If you're gone during the day then you can crate train the dog and leave the dog in the crate in another room while you're gone so that it cannot bother the cats.
These dogs are not meant to live outdoors by themselves, they need to be with their people and getting another dog is DEFINITELY not the answer... Like Love said you'll just end up with another neurotic dog. And letting the dog have free roam with no fencing or anything like that is setting the dog up for a disaster
If your wife won't let the dog stay inside then the best thing for the dog would probably be finding another home where they can provide the things you can't. Not meant to sound harsh, you just have to think of what's best for the pup.
you say you know about dog care but you allow your dog
to wonder a 1/2 mile away, umm. you know about dog care
but you don't have time to train and socialize, umm.
Well ,as you're finding out, GSDs don't make good yard dogs. They do want to be with their people. They also are "high maintenance" in that they require a lot of time in training, exercise, attention from their people. If you are serious about keeping her, I do have a couple of suggestions. She should be inside with you when you are home. As was suggested you can use a gate to confine her because of the cats. You can also put her on her leash and hook it to your belt so she follows you around. She can practice her down/stay while you eat and when you are sitting. Since you are gone for all day and she is outside, if you can, fence in your yard that will prevent the other dogs from stealing her food and coming into her territory. Also provide some type of interactive toys (kongs, and so on). She will still need to be exercised before you leave for work and when you return. A good walk (at least a mile) and also interact with her if she likes to play fetch or chase after balls. See if you can hire a dog walker to come and walk her at noon and give her attention. With increased exercise and playtime, attention from you and being indoors with you, she should calm down and the pacing will gradually cease. If you have classes in your area, you may want to sign up for that.
Also, even though she has a lot of room to roam, that doesn't count as exercise for your dog. She has to have a lot more exercise both physical and mental.

Union For Reform Judaism: "Beck's Sweeping Dismissal Of The Religious Faith Of A Million And A Half North American Jews Was Both Tragic And Outrageous"
Blog ››› ››› MEDIA MATTERS STAFF
Rabbi Eric H. Yoffie, president of the Union for Reform Judaism, issued a statement in response to Glenn Beck's February 22 comments comparing Reform Judaism to "radicalized Islam." From Rabbi Yoffie's statement:
Reform Judaism, a proud and venerable religious tradition, does not accept Mr. Beck as the arbiter of what is spiritual and what is not, of who has faith and who does not, of what constitutes real religion and what does not. We respect his faith and demand that he respect ours. Our members, who - like others in North America - apply their religious values to the problems of the broader society, are happy to have Mr. Beck disagree with us on any position that one or more of us may take, but not to make pronouncements and sweeping condemnations that he has neither the right nor the knowledge to make.
We are particularly incensed that Mr. Beck chose to compare Reform Judaism with "radicalized Islam." While noting that Reform Judaism is not about "terror," he implied the opposite - or, at the very least, that the religious faith of the largest segment of North American Jewry is extremist and fanatic.
Dismissing the heartfelt religious beliefs of millions of North Americans is offensive. Mr. Beck should be ashamed of his comments, and we hope that he will have the good sense never to repeat them.

Green Bay in the Big Dance: Scouting Kentucky
By: Andrew Gavin (@GBGavin)
AMES, Iowa (GreenBayPhoenix.com) - After dispatching Iowa State on Saturday night at Hilton Coliseum, No. 10/10 Green Bay (31-1) moves on to play against No. 12/11 Kentucky in the second round on Monday night at 8:45 p.m. CT. The Phoenix is the seventh seed in the Kingston Region while Kentucky, the SEC regular season champions, is the second seed.
For more on the game and to access the Green Bay game notes, click here.
Expect a fast-paced, up-tempo game on Monday night, with both teams using pressure defenses. Green Bay averages 74.7 points per game while Kentucky is averaging 74.4 points per contest.
Despite being led by All-American candidate A'dia Mathies, UK's major strength is its depth. In Saturday's 68-62 win over McNeese State, 12 players played for head coach Matthew Mitchell and eight players scored at least six points. For the season, 11 Wildcats play at least 10 minutes per game.
Kentucky forces 27.7 turnovers per game on the season and leads the nation in turnover margin (+10.3). The Wildcats were able to defeat McNeese State despite scoring just nine points off 13 Cowgirl turnovers.
Another major strength of Kentucky is its rebounding. The Wildcats outrebound their opponents by nearly three boards, doing the majority of its damage on the offensive glass. UK has tallied 600 offensive rebounds this season, almost 200 more than its opponents. Mathies leads the team with 82 boards on the offensive end. Kentucky held a 58-40 rebounding edge over McNeese State and grabbed 22 offensive rebounds.
When opposing teams do get shots off against the
Wildcats, they especially struggle to shoot from the outside. Kentucky's
three-point shooting defense is just 28.8 percent, with teams making just three
long-range shots per game. McNeese State shot just 30 percent from the field on
Saturday and hit 2-of-9 three-pointers.
PG: #24 Amber Haven, Sr., 5-6 (4.3 ppg, 1.8 rpg, 2.7 apg)
G: #1 A'dia Mathies, Jr., 5-9 (15.4 ppg, 5.2 rpg, 2.5 apg, 48-129 3FGs)
G: #13 Bria Goss, Fr., 5-10 (11.1 ppg, 4.3 rpg, 87-120 FTs)
G: #32 Kristine Evans, Soph., 5-8 (6.8 ppg, 3.7 rpg, 25-72 3FGs)
F: #31 Samantha Drake, Jr., 6-3 (5.0 ppg, 3.6 rpg, 49-92 FGs)
A'dia Mathies, the SEC Player of the Year, leads the Wildcats in scoring at 15.4 points per game. Foul trouble limited Mathies to just 18 minutes on Saturday and the junior guard went 2-of-10 from the field and finished with six points. Mathies also leads the team in steals and is a member of the SEC All-Defensive Team. She has knocked down 48 three-pointers and leads the team shooting 37.2 percent from long range (48-129).
Two more under the radar players could have major impacts in Monday night's game and both led their teams in scoring on Saturday. UK senior Keyla Snowden was named the Co-6th Woman of the Year in the SEC. The sharpshooter scored 11 points off the Wildcat bench on Saturday and leads the team with 53 three-pointers made. In her career, Snowden ranks third on the program's all-time list with 169 made three-pointers despite playing just three seasons at UK. For Green Bay, sharpshooter Lydia Bauer (Lake Zurich, Ill.) broke out of a shooting slump on Saturday and led the team with 16 points. Bauer drained 4-of-7 three-pointers, including three in the opening half. The junior southpaw has also made 53 triples this season and is averaging 11.2 points per game.
Kentucky starts four players that are listed at 5-foot-10 or under, but the Wildcats certainly have some size that the Phoenix will have to deal with. Samantha Drake, who had eight points, six rebounds and four blocked shots on Saturday, stands at 6-foot-3 and starts as the lone forward on the squad. Off the bench, Mitchell brings in 6-foot-3 Azia Bishop and 6-foot-1 Samarie Walker. The duo combined for 18 points, 16 rebounds and four blocked shots in 37 minutes on Saturday, with Bishop scoring 10 points and Walker grabbing a team-best 13 rebounds.

'"They're going to play physical," Penguins left winger Kevin Stevens said. "It's the only way they can play us, I think."'
Archives for April 2001
Penguins expect nasty edge of Game 2 to carry over
Jagr hedges on status for tonight, says talk with Hlinka blown out of proportion
'But he had a firm opinion on the attention his animated exchange with Coach Ivan Hlinka outside the Penguins' locker room at HSBC Arena before their 3-1 victory against the Sabres Saturday has received: He insists the incident has been blown way out of proportion.'
Injuries put Sabres in difficult situation
'"It's that time of year when adversity slaps you in the face, and you've got to come up big," Coach Lindy Ruff said after Buffalo's practice yesterday at HSBC Arena. "Throughout the year, we've had situations where key defensemen were out and we still managed to get some victories."'
Lemieux No. 1 as leader, too
'"He's better now at both ends of the rink," Stevens insisted.'
Penguins Report
'The numbers weigh heavily against a Buffalo comeback. The Sabres have lost all 15 series in their history when losing the first two games, and they are 1-8-3 in their past 12 visits to Pittsburgh.'
Jagr probably out for Game 3
'"I don't know if I'm going to play," Jagr said. "When I'm going to feel like I can help the team, be healthy enough to play, I will play."'
Lemieux continues to amaze
'But inquiring minds were curious after Saturday's 3-1 victory: Does the fact that the Penguins lost four straight games after winning two at Philadelphia make them susceptible to a similar meltdown this year?'
Penguins style baffling Sabres
'"I think it's actually throwing guys off. You're so used to the wide-open style that Pittsburgh used to play, the offense-first (philosophy). You see them sitting back and having three guys back all the time, sometimes four, it's freaky."'
Goal of a lifetime
'George Ferguson never has seen a televised replay of the goal that, 22 years later, remains one of the most memorable in Penguins history. And it came against the Buffalo Sabres in a Game 3 of the Stanley Cup playoffs.'
Hockey ratings poor overall but not in Pittsburgh
'The ratings had improved from abysmal to poor and that was something.'
Sabres can score but not on Hedberg
'To suggest that Hedberg and the Penguins have held the Capitals and Sabres to a combined total of three even-strength goals in eight games because neither of those teams has anybody who can score goals, is a slap in Hedberg's moose mask, and an affront to the other men defending the Penguins logo.'
Jagr trade talk not so bad after all
'Jagr's immaturity in the past was bad enough, but his requests to be traded, his pouting, and his poor attitude are making him a good candidate to be shown the door.'
Hedberg missed back home
'The longer the Penguins last in the playoffs, the longer goaltender Johan Hedberg will be away from his wife and two young daughters in Sweden.'
Pens' Moose on the loose
'Part of the reason Hedberg has confounded opposition shooters is he is not your typical NHL goaltender. At 5-foot-11, he is not real big and depends more on reflexes and outstanding positioning.'
Sabres look to climb big hill
'If his teammates can't find a way to wake up and score in Game 3 Monday night against the Penguins in Pittsburgh, the Sabres themselves will be nothing but a memory.'

Hey guys, I need some help with my ESB Blaster Assembly. I recently bought a Flash Tube Upgrade for my blaster, but because the Gallery is down, I don't know what is the correct way of inserting the tube. The photo below is a test fit of the tube, I haven't glued it in place yet. can anyone tell me what way the tube goes, I have searched the forum, but everyone seems to have a different tube, and has placed it in a different way. so I'm a little confused.
here's my blaster, with the flush tube. this is a shot of the front of the blaster (with the handle facing me)
Also, my blaster kit didn't come with anything to connect my leather strap, what should I buy to connect the strap?
cheers guys, any help would be appreciated.

There are also multiple opportunities for water sports—surfing, parasailing and jet-skiing, to name a few. And if you're a golfer, say hello to acres of green grass, picturesque waterscapes and natural Florida beauty on one of many challenging, world-class golf courses.
Shopping is practically a sport here, as well, with shopping districts like St. Armands Circle, Siesta Key Village, downtown Venice, Sarasota's Main Street, Southside Village and Main Street at Lakewood Ranch.

All of this activity is bound to make you hungry, so pop in to one of the area's many vibrant, original restaurants offering everything from pizza and French fries to lobster and steak (there's even authentic Amish and Mennonite food to be found). And at the end of the day, crawl into bed in one of Sarasota's lovely hotels—then step out onto your balcony and watch the sun rise over the Gulf or bay the next morning.
you visit Sarasota/Bradenton, you'll find
all of this and more at your fingertips.
Enjoy taking advantage of our wonderful

Here is another recent custom build of mine.
It is built using donor parts from a VZ59 and is chambered in 7.62x54R.
If you decide to make any information on this available to the "Mere Mortals" out here, I would surely like to see it. I recently converted 4 of my 1919s to 762X54R. One of these would fit nicely into the group. However since I didn't even know there was a VZ59, wouldn't have a clue where to start, might well be more of a hill than I am climber!! But I sure do LIKE IT anyway!!!
Emory Jones
Do you have a close-up of the brake?
The Vz.59 is also known as the UK-59. It's a Czech-made belt-fed and is sort of similiar to a belt-fed Bren. Centerfire had them for sale a while back, but I'm not sure if they still have any or not (I don't think so) but I believe there is at least one company still selling them without the back of the receiver and without the barrel.
I will say, that's the first custom build I've seen that based off of the UK-59 kits, though. I know Pirate is working on a semi conversion for the original UK-59, but this version is a new one to me, too.
Thanks Emory,
I have no secrets. The Czech VZ59/UK59 parts kits were sold by Centerfire systems a few years back. It is a very solid reliable design and has push through links. If you get your hands on a kit you could easily accomplish this build. I have seen some kits on gunbroker but like everything the price has gone up. I wish I would have bought some DSHK parts from them back then. I will take lots of pics when I tear it down for refinishing.
Pookie, I dont have any but I will get some and post them. If I remember correctly it started out as 1.5" round of 4140.
Thank you Gentlemen,
The UK-59 I have seen on Gunbroker as a kit in the past. Just couldn't put the VZ designation with it. That is one neat piece, would be worth a premium to have one. I will keep my eyes open for a kit. And Dbltap, if you ever do decide that you want to climb the Dshk hill, I do have a Russian Kit that I bought in the early 90s as a pattern source to make Semi receivers for the fellow that was bringing them in from Israel. That never went anywhere, the kits dried up on him. So I decided to use it as a pattern to build a Hybrid 50BMG semi, top fed from 13.2 MM Hotchkiss magazines. A Bren on Steroids as it were. I still need to copy the gas system parts and heat treat the receiver, but once that's done, the old Dshk will go back into "Deep Storage" on the pallet rack, I'll never build it. Normally I have a rule that I NEVER SELL anything, I ONLY BUY it and stack it up!! I figure the look on my wife's face when I'm dead and she goes thru all of it will be "Priceless"!!! I paid a little more for it than the Polish kits that came in a few years back, but by the standard of today's INSANE prices, I'm in it WAAAY Lite. At any rate, it'll will be in the cooler waiting!
Emory Jones
Hey Emory, I don't suppose you'd want to swap my UK-59 kit for your Dshk kit? (probably not, but I figure it never hurts to ask)
Thank You sir, but I've already promised it to Dbltap, if he wants it. After surfing about looking for UK-59 stuff. I found no kits but if what they are asking for belts cans and barrels is any indication, SHEEEESH!! If I did find a kit, might have to get one of those "Sub Prime" mortgage loans to pay for it!! :)
Emory Jones
No problem, Emory. You had just mentioned that you got into your kit at a good deal, and I got into mine in one as well, so I thought it might be a way for you to get a UK-59 kit and for me to get one of the Russian DSHK kits without either of us having to lay out a chunk of cash out of pocket. Probably just as well, though- as many different projects as I'm trying to do at once (and on a pretty limited budget), it'll be a LOT easier to stock up on 7.62x54R than on .50 cal ammo. Still, those DSHKs ARE one really neat weapon. Almost seems a shame not to build it (while it's still legal to do so). :obsessed:
You da man

Wat Benchama Bophit Dusitvanaram (aka.
