Re: Vector file out of Mathematica?
Hi Steve,
I do not know about CorelDraw or Illustrator, but I routinely copy and
paste graphics from Mathematic into Word. There I usually scale it to a
suitable size.
hope this helps, Daniel

I discovered this game recently and personally am really intrigued by it, it seems great although is currently still in development although according to the developers there is an upcoming BETA testing stage.
The only thing the game currently lacks is a decent community on the forums, it'd be nice to give this game a bit of hype.
I would recommend checking it out here:

So what do you think, does it have any potential?

99% done.....I think :P:
Hey guys,
Since I have some time on my hands (slow day at work) I thought I'd take this opportunity to show you some of my work on my Fett and get some critique.
Quick intro:
I've been skulking round TDH forums for a while now having previously come over from the 405th Halo costuming forums where I had been a member for a few years and spent that time making this:
Unfortunately at the beginning of last year I lost my job so had to let it go to raise funds.
Since July of '10 I have been working again and hence had a costuming itch that needed scratching. I felt I was done with Halo related things and had always loved Boba Fett since I first saw ESB when I was a lad. So here I am, pestering you guys. :thumbsup
So after some (a lot of) help from the awesome community here this is what I've got so far:
To start off with things that are all other peoples amazing work is the BM helmet and BobbyFettUK JP
Both these guys have been a pleasure to deal with and their work is outstanding.
Next up is a 99cent taco man ESB belt and MOW 2010 ESB gaunts with MojoFett rocket.
MOW boots with MojoFett toe spikes (not pictured)
I'm not sure I'm happy with my paint job on the boots. What do you think? A little darker maybe?
I've just finished up painting my MojoFett sidearm and MOW flame thrower but I'm thinking I've maybe over weathered them. It's my first go at painting with an airbrush so the finished product is a bit sketchy.
Also a while back I picked up a cape from someone on eBay which I think is actually an Evo beasty which IMO is too dark so after some bleaching and misting of orange and black rattle cans it went from this
To this...
That's it for now really.
Just wanna take this chance to thank Daz (BM), BobbyFettUK, MojoFett, Fettdad, MOW, SalamandaKing and Welshwarrior123 for all your help so far. Great guys.
Comments, critique, things I have missed are most welcome.

Inside formal classrooms and – literally – in the field, students from area schools can learn about earth science, horticulture and other subjects in accordance with their school curriculum.
Stay tuned for upcoming educational events, which will be added here as they are scheduled.
Earth Day Celebration of Local Food
Community Greenhouse Partners (CGP) and Gardens Under Glass are hosting the first annual Earth Day Celebration of Local Foods, an Earth Day event at the Galleria at Erieview on April 21st from 11AM to 3PM. Admission is free. The Galleria at Erieview is
located on the corner of East Ninth Street and St. Clair Avenue in downtown Cleveland.
Community Greenhouse Partners and Gardens Under Glass will feature a medley of Cleveland's offerings and connections to local food. Cleveland's urban farmers, restaurants and vendors that
primarily use local products, as well as companies and organizations that support and assist the growing local food scene will be present to meet.

Fear of Islam and terrorists has been a staple of the right wing American media since 9/11 and the attempt to portray those of Muslim faith as synonymous with violence has become part of thinking in too many places in the world. The reality of Islam is far from the portrait painted by Fox News and people like Rush Limbaugh. The recent elections in Kuwait revealed a dramatic drop in power for Islamists in Parliament while women won four seats for the first time in history. This election comes a month after Indonesian voters witnessed a drop in votes for fundamentalists of over 10 percentage points.
It would be surprising if American conservatives ever told the truth about the vast majority of Muslims who oppose violence and hatred. The next step in moving away from hysteria is for Israel to reach out to moderate Muslims and agree to an independent Palestinian state. This will set the course of history moving in new directions within the Middle East.

World Scout Jamboree is a meeting, where scouts all over the world get together. Camping is most often arranged at the unit level, such as one Scout troop, but there are periodic camps (known in the US as "camporees") and "jamborees". Since 1920 it has been a Jamboree every forth year, held over different places in the world. In the video from youtube we can see when it was in Sweden, This year, 2015, the Jamboree was held in Japan.
15 Aug 2015
In 1906 and 1907 Robert Baden-Powell, a lieutenant general in the British Army, wrote a book for boys about reconnaissance and scouting. Baden-Powell wrote Scouting for Boys (London, 1908), based on his earlier books about military scouting, with influence and support of Frederick Russell Burnham (Chief of Scouts in British Africa), Ernest Thompson Seton of the Woodcraft Indians, William Alexander Smith of the Boys' Brigade, and his publisher Pearson. In the summer of 1907 Baden-Powell held a camp on Brownsea Island in England to test ideas for his book. This camp and the publication of Scouting for Boys are generally regarded as the start of the Scout movement. Source: Wikipedia
Scouting or as its also called, the Scout movement, is a movement that wants to be there for young people and support them in their hysical, mental and spiritual development, that they may play constructive roles in society, with a strong focus on the outdoors and survival skills. There is scouts everywhere over the world, and as of 2010, there are over 32 million registered Scouts and as of 2006 10 million registered Guidesaround the world, from 216 countries and territories. Scouting virtually started itself but it was triggered by the publication Scouting for Boys written by Robert Baden-Powell in 1908.

text: Anybody remember when the Houston Rockets last lost a game?? Their current win streak has now been extended to 19 straight games including 8 in a row since Yao went down. No one gave the Rockets a chance to do any damage in the post season even with a healthy Yao and T-Mac. The Denver Nuggets silently cheered the news of Yao's season ending surgery as it supppsedly gave them that outside chance to sneak into the 8th spot. But two weeks later the Rockets are just a game out of the top spot in the west and the Nuggets are still 2.5 games out of the final spot. With roughly 19-20 games left anything can happen as it relates to the streaking Rockets getting shot down and brought back to earth. Can any one theorize how they are doing this and any one to venture on how long the Yaoless Tmacled rockets will keep this up? One thing not mentioned in most of the Rocket stories is that they are actually 28-4 since 1/1/08, which is the best in the league over that period. They have also won an NBA record 10 straight double digit victories. Are they for real? Well of those 19 victories the only five would be considered quality wins including 2 over the Cavs, 2 over the Hornets and one over the Mavs. Can they get to 25 straight? Is Yao expendable...did he slow them up? Well they have a couple of possible easy games vs the Haws and Bobcats, but then five straight vs the Lakers, Celtics, Hornets, Warriors and Suns ROCKETS: Schedule

Re: San Diego to Honolulu
Lack of wind may not be a problem on this passage. However, you might want to discuss what capacity he has for extended motoring, if you can't maintain an average speed you agree upon.
Re: San Diego to Honolulu
I'm crewing on this boat and am up for the challenge.
Re: San Diego to Honolulu
Well, at least you won't be on a piece of crap like this...
Seems awfully early in the season for that ride, to me... These clowns tried it last winter about this time, it did not end well...
Of course, they were idiots, but still... Jimmy Cornell does not paint an especially pretty picture of that route anytime before April...
Re: San Diego to Honolulu
Seconding George's concerns.. not to discourage adventuring but heading out to sea on a boat you don't know with a crew/skipper you don't know can be a recipe for great discomfort at the very least. ( of course you two could be lifelong buddies... we just don't know.....)
There's not another more 'escape proof' environment....
Re: San Diego to Honolulu
x62617, How well do you know this particular Alberg and its skipper? Were they and you referred to each other or is this trip in response to an ad? Have you seen pictures of the boat in question? You really need to ask a lot of pointed and detailed questions concerning this trip. Things, like "what is your energy budget", and is the boat only equipped with an auto helm or is there something like a Monitor Wind Vane? What is the watch schedule and what exactly will be your duties and responsibilities? Everyone going through the Academy has to take some sailing training. How far did your skipper go? Was he a watch captain on a 44 or higher? Did he spend his junior summer racing? I occasionally sail with an Academy grad – The USNA is no guarantee that he is "god's gift to mariners". I'm not saying don't go, you just need to have your eyes wide open. Here is a little picture taken not too far off the coast in California in mid March and during one of those lulls between late season weather systems. Are you ready for three weeks of this?
Re: San Diego to Honolulu
Good to know there's some room for being reasonable there. A long time ago I had a friend in the reserves who loved it when they got to go chase down AWOL folks. Just made that come to mind.
Re: San Diego to Honolulu
Technically I would be AWOL but if I tell them the risks of being late and keep in contact they will not classify me as AWOL.(it is a pain in the ass to do the AWOL paperwork believe it or not) AWOL soldiers are not arrested immediately. A warrant for their arrest is initiated after 30 days of being AWOL, assuming the commander does the paperwork on time.
If I am late and they know the reason then I will just get a slap on the wrist and they will charge me leave days and probably chew my ass. Nothing too bad but I just don't like being "that guy".
I think I will request more days than I need and if I make it back I will sign in early and not be charged all the days I requested. I am rationing the leave that I have built up because I am getting out of the military in a few months and would like to take it all at the end so that I can still get paid while I transition into my new job.
Re: San Diego to Honolulu
I don't have much to add on the timing and the trip, but one thing that stands out to me... Being the military, what happens of your late? Things can and do go wrong, and can lead to trips taking way longer then expected. Another Sailneter (vega1860) made the trip from Hawaii to Washington a few years ago, and I think it took them something like 50 - 60 days, double their estimate IIRC due to an issue with their forestay and not being able to use their headsail most of the way.
Usually I'm on the "just go for it" side of things, but I'm curious. Should something happen and your late getting back, do you end up arrested for being AWAL? Or is there some understanding with your superiors that this could happen?
Re: San Diego to Honolulu
The captain is experienced. He is an instructor or training to be an instructor right now. Also he is a Naval Academy grad with experience on navy ships (not sure if that translates to sailing vessels but it's something). I know he has sailed extensively in the Pacific near Japan on a bristol 32 but I don't know what his off shore sailing experience is. He told me he expects it to take 20 days. He is going to continue on the trip all the way to Japan via Hawaii and Guam. I don't know if he has any other crew yet. I don't know what his sail inventory is. The boat has an auto helm.
Looking at the Pilot Chart... July is definitely preferable.
I am not able to read weather charts but I will take a look at the NOAA website later.
I am dying to get some sailing in and ready to pull the trigger on these plane tickets to California but I'm worried about getting back in time. So yes, you are right, I am looking for validation. The captain is going to call me tonight to go over more details. I'll ask about the route, weather forecasts, other crew, etc.
Re: San Diego to Honolulu
x62617, what the Pilot Chart is indicating is that 30-40% of the time, the wind will be favorable. That means 60-70% of the time it will not be favorable. Remember, during the winter time, clouds over Hawaii become storms in California. In the Pacific, weather moves in cycles of 4-6 days between storms, which is consistent with what the almanac (what a Pilot Chart really is) is telling you. It is also saying that you will be sailing in a cross-current. Down-load the Pilot chart for July to see why that is the month most mariners prefer to head towards Hawaii. Pilot Charts don't give you everything, you should also be working with a weather router or at least looking at NOAA's GRIB files if you are a proficient weather forecaster. As you will be sailing towards weather, you don't have very many options in the Alberg to sail around on-coming storms. Fortunately, it has a good reputation and if the boat is well prepared you should have nothing more than a very rough (and probably miserable) passage. Your only option to avoid weather is to head south. You might want to take your passport in the off chance something bad happens and you wind up in Mexico.
As you are only one week away from your trip, I'm assuming that you are looking for validation more than anything. When I raced to Hawaii in '08, we made it in 12 days (we took 2nd place) and sailed under spinnaker for 10 of them. What kind of sail inventory is the Alberg taking? How many helmsmen and what are their experience levels? I guess that your average VMG is going to be somewhere between 4 and 5 and, I think your passage will be more like 20 - 24 days. Of course, I know nothing about this particular vessel and crew so if you would be so kind and supply me with some details so I can become more optimistic.

Hi Lucy,
I recently applied to do a CELTA course and completed the pre-interview tasks as you may remember. Thankfully my application form was successful and I've now been invited for an interview in early January 2009. I'm really excited at the prospect of being one step closer however I'm also a little nervous and curious as to what to expect from the interview.
So I'm wondering if you could give me some more helpful information. What sort of question can I expect in the interview and how can I fully prepare myself?
Please do give me your thoughts and views as to how i can be well prepared in advance in order to have a successful interview.
Many thanks in advance,

Mitigation for Greenhouse Gas Emissions
Under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), where a project will have significant environmental impacts, the agency undertaking or permitting that project must impose all feasible mitigation. For some types of impacts, mitigation is straightforward (for example, requiring replacement wetlands for wetlands that will be developed). For other types of impacts, such as climate change, we are in the process of learning about what mitigation is available, and what works best.
There are many helpful resources that set forth potential mitigation for greenhouse gas emissions (the type of pollution that causes climate change). These include the 2008 Technical Advisory, pdf. issued by the Governor's Office of Planning and Research (OPR) and the 2008 white paper, CEQA and Climate Change, issued by the California Association of Pollution Control Officers (CAPCOA). The update of the CEQA Guidelines in March 2010 also provides additional guidance.
There are a number of modeling tools useful for estimating reductions in greenhouse gas emissions and other benefits associated with project design features and mitigation measures.

Green Bay Returns Home to Face UIndy on Friday
By Justin Grones
GREEN BAY, Wis. (GreenBayPhoenix.com) - Fresh off a 2-1 performance in warm and sunny Cancun, Mexico, the Green Bay women's basketball team (4-1) will return home to face Indianapolis (4-0) on Friday at 7 p.m. It will be the first all-time meeting between Green Bay and Indianapolis, a Division II team currently ranked No. 6 in the NCAA D II coaches poll.
The Phoenix rebounded to post two solid victories in the 2012 Cancun Challenge after losing the opener in overtime to James Madison. The team responded with a 55-33 win over Missouri, holding the Tigers scoreless while going on a 20-0 run in the final 11:32 of play. In its final game, the Phoenix closed things out with a dominating 79-48 victory over Richmond.
Senior Sarah Eichler (Grafton, Wis.) received her first Horizon League Player of the Week selection in recognition of her play in Cancun. Eichler led the Phoenix during its visit south of the border, averaging 17.3 points on 73 percent shooting and 5.6 rebounds over the three-game span. In Green Bay's win against Richmond, she scored a career-high 26 points, including a career-high five three-pointers in 27 minutes. The last Phoenix player to be named Horizon League Player of the Week was Julie Wojta, who was selected the week of February 27, 2012.
Indianapolis comes to Green Bay for the first time while boasting a 4-0 record, having last played at the Regis Thanksgiving Classic in Denver, Colo. Nov. 23-24. The Greyhounds opened with a 67-50 win over Colorado School of Mines and followed with a 65-56 victory over Regis.
HOOSIER BRUISERS: Since 1998-99, Kevin Borseth's first season as Green Bay head coach, the Phoenix has a 58-5 record against teams from the state of Indiana. Under Borseth, Green Bay has gone 33-4 against teams from the Hoosier State. Over the past two seasons, Green Bay has a perfect 11-0 record and +24.0 scoring margin against Indiana teams.
JOIN THE CLUB: Senior Adrian Ritchie (De Pere, Wis.) needs just seven points to become a member of the Green Bay women's basketball 1,000 point club. Ritchie would become the 30th member overall, and the 17th to join the club since the Phoenix became a Division I program in 1987.
HOT SHOTS: As a team, the Phoenix is shooting 43.4 percent from
the floor and 35.5 percent from long range. Green Bay has six players shooting
40 percent or better, led by Ritchie. The senior is hitting an impressive 53.2 percent from
the field and 41.9 percent from downtown while averaging a team-high 17.8
points per game.
INSIDE PHOENIX BASKETBALL: Green Bay women's basketball coach Kevin Borseth will join men's basketball coach Brian Wardle and host Matt Menzl each week to take fans Inside Phoenix Basketball. Held from 6-7 p.m. each Monday at Hagemeister Park in downtown Green Bay, the show will also be televised on tape-delay on Time Warner Cable Sports32 and TWC Wisconsin On Demand Channel 411. Borseth will appear in the second half of the show from 6:30-7, which will feature occasional player guests and video features.
NEXT ON THE SCHEDULE: Green Bay will hit the road again next week, first traveling to take on Central Michigan for the second time this season on Wednesday, Dec. 5 at 11 a.m. The Phoenix opened the season with a 75-48 victory over the Chippewas and will look to win its third straight matchup against CMU. Green Bay will then travel south to Milwaukee to take on Maquette on Saturday, Dec. 8 at 2 p.m. The Phoenix dealt the Golden Eagles a 66-50 loss at the Kress Center last season.

Starting an Aquatic shop
I'm thinking more and more about starting an aquatic shop in my town. Basically there isnt any specialist store soley for aquatics and so i think theres a gap in the market...
Raising the captial is the biggest worry as is making the business work and not losing a tone of cash!
Has anyone actually started such a business and made it a sucess?
I was thinking about starting a professional site first of all and selling online to get a taste for the trade? But then i have the problem of purchasing stock at an affordable price and selling it on. I doubt i'd have the means to hold stock really...
any info would be welcome!
Try contacting Robert Hudson over at Aquabotanic.com. he runs one of the most successful shops on the web.
cheers for the advice!!
Thanks Mike! I don't have a retail store though, not really. Local people can come in by appoitment, but I don't have a store. I am strictly a WEB based store. I have never done Ebay or Aquabid, except once in a while to get rid of some stuff, but I didn't build my business on online auctions like some of these guys have.
Doing this on the WEB is not easy. You have to either have a lot of money to start out, or start really small and build it up. I started small. I was successfull because I had a public reputation to build from. People knew me from the internet. Word of mouth. I had a reputation of helping newbies. I will say one thing plain and simple and I do not care who reads this: I never sold strictly on price. I never tried to be the cheapest guy on the net. I always tried to have reasonable and competitive prices, but never cutthroat. I always knew there would be someone out there cheaper than me. And you know what, that has never hurt me. It is real easy to sell by saying "I have the lowest price" Everybody wants to be Walmart. It is much more of a challenge to sell based on service, quality, and knowledge. It may be more difficult, but if you become successfull at it you will be around a lot longer than Crazy Eddie with his crazy Eddie deals. When you are selling dirt cheap and your business hits a slump, its all over. You are history. And guys that have that sort of reputation have a real hard time changing that repuation from being a Yugo dealer to a Cadallac dealer. You know what I mean? Which do you want to be?
Hi Rob,
Thanks for the reply...
Well i started to look into the whole start your own business thing and i've got sme advice etc and a business plan to fill out but to be honest i cant justify the expense in starting a shop and all the over heads. I spoke to my local aquatic store which gave me an insight and i wont expect to make a profit for 24months! Thats a lot of cash i need to borrow to live on and get the business going. If it was to flop i'd be stuffed. I'm 23 and havent moved out yet, if that happend i'd be living at home unitl i'm 50.
Therefore the web seems slightly more realistic? I could afford to take the risk and get a decent site going but then that leads me to my next worry, stock. I imagine i'd need to keep limited stock so i can turn round orders for next day delivery which means i'd need a premises to work from. Again huge expense! um...i really need to look into it in far greater detail. Can it work or am i more likely to fail giving the industry. Also you say you became well known through good advice etc but how would be best for me to test the water? If your willing to help maybe you can PM me?
Actually I was surprised at the cuthroat nature of the competition in this business. So be prepared for some unpleasantry amongst your competition.
The bottom line is people on the web shop for price, so whatever you can do to keep your prices low, do it. But prepared to offer service like you're priced like a brick and mortar store, because the second you offer cut rate service, it's going to come back to haunt you.
If you can find a niche that works, run with it, you don't have to be all to everyone. And don't start out running your business for cash flow, be prepared to reinvest every dime back into your business to grow it. That's probably the worst mistake any small business owner makes. Keep your day job.
Thanks for the advice Glass Gardens!
Some of it I can not help you with because you are in a different country than I am, and I do not know what the laws are in the UK or what is needed to become a business. In this country, some of it varies from state to state. Oregon is one of the most business friendly states, with no sales tax and a simple business registration process.
To buy product for re sale, you need to meet the qualifications set forth by the manufacturer. Some manufacturers are vary lax and will sell to anybody that offers them money and others have much more stringent requirements, or have distributors which you can buy from. You will need a certain amount of monies set aside for inventory to meet the buying requirements of the manufacturer or distributor, or you can search out lesser known brands which are more desperate for sales and will allow you to buy in much smaller numbers or even do drop ships.
Glass gardens and I have different philosophies on business. I do not believe everyone on the internet only wants a good price. There is a lot more to it than that.
Don't be afraid to use the online auctions and other sources to market your products either, you can laugh at ebay all you want but you'd be surpised at the number of major corporations using eBay right now. Sears and Olympus are the top two that come to mind. There are other companies using eBay selling through third parties as well. I'd avoid Yahoo though, my experience there is that you'll end up spending a lot of time and money for very little result. Ebay has been very good for me though.
Get business liabilty insurance too, I carry it primarily for the stands I build, but it's nice to have it there for other things as well, especially since you can be sued for someone using your hammer to hit themselves in the head now days.
As a buyer, I would say I factor in both price and service. If the service is great and has a good reputation but the price is slightly higher, I dont mind paying a bit more. But so long as thats only a bit. But if the competition is bad service, that bit can be increased a little more. Word of mouth of the quality of the plants and service plays a big role. Also the variety of plants offers also comes into play because I would rather make a larger order to save on shipping. And I usually only buy only because of lack of plants in LFS.
As for my input on the store. I would just start out as a hobbist selling plants part time and gradually grow if its successful. Thank god I only do it as a hobby and not for profit because I view it as very hard earned money.
Personally, as a shopper my main goal is to find a great price. Service counts to, but price is key for me. If a place is *known* for bad or horrible service, I won't go there even if it's really cheap. But if service is pretty good, but someone has "terrific" service, and the pretty good service place has a much better price, then I'm with the pretty good service.
My money is very tight, and I just want to make sure I'm not going to get screwed over. If there is a $20 difference in an item, and the service differences are marginal, then I'm at the $20 cheaper place.
To me, service that pleases me is a seller who answers questions and sends tracking information quickly via e-mail, ships within a day or so, and makes things painless.
I dont have any experience with web sales, but I started a business about a year ago, and the major thing I learned was patience. It takes time to get repeat customers, but as previously mentioned, price and customer service matter.
For me price is major factor in commodity type items...light bulbs, fish food, etc...For things that I know will require service (live goods) I'm willing to spend extra. That's where word of mouth can kill a vendor. You do a search through a forum and come up with a lot of negative remarks for service and you're very unlikely to try that vendor out...regardless of price.
thanks for your help everyone. I'm probably going to look into this web sales area further...A lot of planning is needed!

So far I was never convinced about flatbeds providing better results than drums. Oh yeah, the resolutions are all up there! But scan quality takes a beating when it comes to reproduction, sharpness and calibration on a flatbed.
Dedicated film scanners also gave me one rather common problem... scanning film with even the slightest film curl, even if they were mounted, gave a percievable loss in sharpness, no matter how I tried to correct the problem.
Just tried out the Fujifilm Lanovia Quattro, and frankly, I was quite amazed at the quality. Very, very drumlike! The most interesting thing about the scanner is the multiple optical lenses for different resolutions up to a good 5000dpi. The software, 'ColourKit', lends itself to fine calibration quite effectively. I also had the opportunity to work with the iQSmart 3 from Creo for a while. That was very good too, but I did not have the tools to check calibration capabilities.
I cold not test the scanners capabilities for MTF using resolution charts, but I do know it will be rather good, considering the image quality that I got in my later scans after calibration. If anybody has got this info, I would like to take a look.
The only gripe (nitpick actually), is that the scans from trannys are ever so slightly oversharp. Some like it this way, though. Wish I could afford the price tag to get myself one of these babies for my personal use!!!

If the government can sue for not serving gays, whats to stop them from suing a restaurant for not having kosher foods on their menu?
this is what Peter Drucker called 'creaming the market'. the results of following this business strategy is quite simple and obvious.
You who are declaring the business owner has a "right" to decide who to do business with sure pick and choose the parts of the constitution you want to use, and you probably pick and choose the parts of the bible you want to believe in also. "...all men are created equal..." If a business owner, with a business license issued by their municipality is doing business with the community they are in, it should be against the law across the board to deliberately discriminate against any of its citizens! I sell at my local farmers market, maybe I should put up a sign that says "No ignorant, bigots served at this table." That would certainly exclude most of you in this thread.

Editorial | New Jersey Bear Hunt
A smart move to protect residents
Bears are an opportunistic lot. Just ask Yogi.
All around New Jersey this year, with less effort than stealing a "pic-a-nic" basket, they've been feasting on trash cans, gardens, bird feeders - even inside kitchens.
Most bears aren't looking for trouble, just food. But when bruins get too close or comfortable among humans, public safety is jeopardized. Two bears had to be killed last weekend in Sussex County, one after breaking into a house. Last month, a bear was trapped and destroyed after biting a camper through his sleeping bag on the Appalachian Trail.
From January through Aug. 1, bear complaints are up 57 percent over last year. Close calls haven't been limited to traditional bear country in the northwest counties. All 21 counties have reported sightings.
That's why the state Fish and Game Council voted unanimously Tuesday to reinstate a December bear hunt. The council hopes to slowly reduce this increasingly troublesome population, which biologists estimate between 1,600 and 3,200. Environmental Protection Commissioner Bradley Campbell should honor the decision.
In 2003, amid heated animal-rights protests, hunters killed 328 bears. Campbell canceled the 2004 hunt to spare then-Gov. James McGreevey the controversy during a planned reelection campaign.
Politics doesn't make for sound wildlife management.
However, a hunt alone won't solve New Jersey's bear problem. It should be one tool in a comprehensive plan, which also may include contraception, relocation, harassment, and, most important, continued education of residents in bear country.
People should stop treating bear sightings as a "Kodiak" moment and recognize the potential danger. They should stop feeding bears and, in many areas, birds. All garbage should be stowed in bear-proof containers.
New Jerseyans need to get smarter than the average bear.

Welcome to Golden Goals - a FREE video series on USA.Arsenal.com which showcases some of the finest goals in Arsenal's history.
Each of our weekly clips will feature footage of a classic goal plus expert analysis from former Gunner Stewart Robson and Arsenal.com editor Richard Clarke.
Our series continues with a stunning drive by Silvinho against Chelsea in 2000.
Read on for the story of his goal and click the PLAY button above to watch our FREE video clip.
Silvinho v Chelsea (A) 09-06-2000
We've already seen Nigel Winterburn appear in our countdown with a long-range belter at Stamford Bridge. Our latest Golden Goal shows his successor scoring a goal of similar quality on the very same pitch.
He only played two seasons in North London, but Silvinho will always be fondly remembered for his attacking flair and cheerful nature. And then of course there was this late equalizer against Chelsea.
The season before, Kanu turned an impending 2-0 defeat into a 3-2 victory with a stunning hat-trick. And after goals from Gianfranco Zola and Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink gave the Blues another two-goal lead, Chelsea did not to repeat that result.
Cue another Gunners comeback. Thierry Henry halved the lead in the 76th minute with a textbook finish before Silvinho stepped up four minutes from time.
By now Arsenal's biggest offensive weapons, including Dennis Bergkamp, Freddie Ljungberg and Sylvain Wiltord, were all on the pitch as Arsène Wenger's men searched desperately for their equalizer. But it was the genial left-back who would find it.
Kanu tried to break forward, but Chelsea's defense managed to halt his charge 20 yards from goal. But they couldn't control the loose ball and it rolled invitingly into the path of Silvinho. Without breaking stride, The Brazilian lashed a ferocious strike that bent into the top right-hand corner from 25 yards.
Carlo Cudicini could not have been positioned any better, but the keeper still couldn't get anywhere near it.
And Chelsea's hopes of a win were foiled once again.

Richard Marx
The murder ballad "Hazard" topped charts around the world, but with the release of its parent album Rush Street in 1991, Richard Marx's commercial fortunes started to slip as mainstream tastes shifted away from the slick, well-constructed songs that were his forte. Despite the Top Ten hit single "Now and Forever," 1994's Paid Vacation fell from the charts quickly, and Marx entered a period of seclusion, eventually returning in the spring of 1997 with an adult contemporary album titled Flesh & Bone. The following year saw him performing a duet with Donna Lewis on a contribution to the Anastasia soundtrack, and Days in Avalon was quietly issued in fall 2000. While the album fared modestly well in the adult contemporary market, Marx found more success as a producer and songwriter for other artists. He penned the Top Ten hit "This I Promise You" for *NSYNC and co-wrote "Dance with My Father," which won a Grammy, for Luther Vandross; other projects included writing material for 98°, SHeDAISY, and Josh Groban. He returned to his solo career several years later, issuing My Own Best Enemy in 2004.
There then followed a prolific period of relatively low-key releases. Duo, a collaboration with Vertical Horizon's Matt Scannell, came out in 2008. Two Marx solo studio albums were also released simultaneously that same year, but only digitally: Emotional Remains comprised all new material, while Sundown was half cover versions. The acoustic album Stories to Tell followed in 2010, and the holiday effort Christmas Spirit in 2012. Beautiful Goodbye was Marx's first studio album of all-new material to be released on CD for a full ten years. Preceded by the racy single "Whatever We Started," it was slated for release in July 2014. That year Marx returned to the spotlight with a guest appearance on American Idol, and also announced his divorce from his wife of 25 years, actress Cynthia Rhodes. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine & Andrew Leahey

My girlfriend has started a collegiate chapter of Ducks Unlimited at Stockton College. It was met with a lot of resistance by an obstinate director of student development, but with the help and full support from Ducks Unlimited and some duck loving insiders at Stockton her goal has finally came to fruition. But it is still in the developmental stages. Haley has a lot of great ideas and wants to have a really active chapter that does more than just have one banquet per year.
Stockton alumni are welcome to come out to the meetings, and are eligible to be members of the student chapter. Collegiate chapters are not all that popular up north. Some of the big southern schools have really strong student chapters, but they are also at the bottom of major flyways. There is potential to do a lot of great things and give back to the lifestyle that is waterfowling.
If any of you fellas go to Stockton, or are alumni and are interested let me know and I can get you in contact with Haley. If anyone knows of alumni that might be interested, please let them know. And finally there will be a presentation, ducks 101, given by our regional director Thursday April 11 at 5pm at Stockton College. It is a new chapter introduction presentation. There should be pizza if there are 20 or more people.
For those with face book, there is a page for the chapter as well.

Forgot to include my name in my previous post! Thanks for your thoughtful comments. I think I am long overdue to sit down and determine exactly what my dance goals are, my skill levels in various dances, which areas I want to concentrate the most time and energy, etc. This lack of introspection, as much as anything, is probably the reason I've not found a practice partner, although I am also hampered by living in a small city with limited options.
For example, my original interest was country western (which I still love). But there are only a few competent, serious C&W dancers in my community and most are already "paired up" with someone. Then I became interested in ballroom and began lessons a little over 2 years ago. I truly love ballroom and, as I stated previously, I am finally biting the bullet and entering a competition with my teacher in a few weeks (Nevada Star Ball). But I don't foresee doing this on a regular basis, because I really want the experience of working and growing (and maybe competing) with an amateur partner.
Don't mean to be too inquisitive, but I would be interested in knowing the source of your dislike for competition. I need to know what I'm getting myself into!
Almost forgot, thanks for your ideas about ways to meet potential partners.
Thanks again for your reply! And good luck in finding the dancing opportunities you are seeking.

When I first jumped on board here at Deeply Problematic, one of my roles was supposed to be a weekly roundup of awesome, interesting, and thought-provoking comments (on both sides of discussions). I've been slackery in that role, and I apologize.
To be a comment of the week, you definitely don't have to agree with my or RMJ's opinions on things - just contribute a different or alternative perspective, an interesting link; something that makes us consider why we think the way we do or what we're thinking about this week. I found that there wasn't a ton of commenting, so I definitely want to encourage people to voice their opinions, whatever they are.
Now, without further ado...the Comments of the Week:
Reviving the older but always-relevant post I Am Pro-Abortion, Not Pro-Choice, sweetchild92 said:
(Comments are abridged for space, but are linked so you can read in context.)
(...)comments saying "you don't know if you're for the procedure until you've had one" come across as terribly patronizing. I don't see that being told to women who want to become pregnant/mothers. (...)You may know women who had the procedure and act one way, but I can say that I know women who haven't acted that way post-abortion. (...) And the "my would be abortion is now 3 years old" comment? Really, really unnecessary.
From More Female Instrumentalists..., Miranda comments:
you might want to consider investigating the riot grrrl movement more deeply(...) riot grrrl was in response to the sexism at punk shows and in the music industry in general-- as a result, riot grrrl bands were demonized as being more political than musicially inclined, thereby dismissing the music they DID make and negating the messages entirely.
Plus, they're so heavily linked to zine-making, which was so democratic, so cheap, and pre-blog(...)
In the post All Along The RSS Reader, K (hi, first time poster!!) wrote:
(...)I put up my Weekly blog link roundup today. I try to include stuff about sexual dysfunction whenever possible. There's stuff about general news in feminism too.I'm also not sure if any of the comments over on RMJ's post about United States of Tara for Televism at Bitch Magazine are by DP'ers, but it's a great thread and I definitely recommend it as well.
And then earlier I put up Shorties which is a series of disconnected short posts. The last of the shorties may be NSFW/TMI due to a frank (but not explicit) discussion of a sex act I did once so click with discretion.
Congrats, commenters! Let's see some more great commenting in the next week!
-Faye, your friendly neighborhood comment mod

As the 21st century enters a new year, the dramatic rise in wealth of the Chinese population continues. Latest figures indicate the number of billionaires in China has jumped from 85 in 2006 to 146 in 2007. The number of millionaires has continued its steady rise and now constitutes 3.3% of the entire population. China is experiencing a phenomenon that happened in other nations. The gap between those at the upper end of the economic scale has widened from those at the bottom or in the middle class. The emergence of a powerful economic class undoubtedly will have impact on future government power relations. At some point in the coming decade wealthier people will be demanding greater influence in government and will have economic resources to back up their desires for power.
One can only wonder as the economic divide widens whether or not there will emerge in China a populist reform movement to address issues of poverty. It would be possible for an unscrupulous political leader to seize upon economic disparity in order to arouse public furor. Democracy eventually will emerge in China as the economy booms.

A memebr on another board was generous enough to send me a cowl he's had for a while.
It's a Bronze Armory Begins cowl.... normally $325 +$14 shipping and I got it for free...... I don't know how my luck has done this.
the next pic was after I took the mask off:
notice the sudden grey hairs.
it's pretty dang tight. Almost broke my nose putting it on and getting it off. Had to have my mom help me remove it..... pulling on the ears does not help, BTW.
Just wanted to share my new aquisition......
how do I look in a Begins cowl? Dependant on that, I might start the rest of the suit...

Cut, Chop, Slice, Blend
You don't think meals are made by just throwing everything into an oven whole, do you? Nah, you've gotta slice and dice a little too! Otherwise, your food would look much less appealing (and be a lot harder to fit into your mouth).
Ends on March 31 at 9AM CT


text: Which is better and why? I'm tired of searching for this topic and if it is already posted pardon me; I still would like to know though. $135 versus $595 is a no-brainer but if will cost more to fix later..smh. Please, someone tell me which one is worth it and for how long. Thx.
