Product Description:
"This organically-grown wine is a powerhouse of dark berry fruit flavors with a lingering, complex finish. Produced from 95% Mourvedre and 5% old-vines Grenache, the wine is aged for 22 months in oak cuves before release, which makes this tasty giant more approachable in its youth. Celine is employing 20% whole cluster fermentation and pressing after 20 days. A great pairing with red meat and grilled dishes, and ideal with game. 2011 vintage notes: 2011 saw regular rain, with a warm and sunny spring that induced early budding and beautiful flowering. A slight fall in temperature around July 14th followed by constant seasonal temperatures in August produced perfect maturing conditions. Harvest started on September 13th. 2011 was a great vintage for Bandol red. This wine will age beautifully but is also very drinkable now." - Importer
"The tiny appellation of Bandol is located directly on the Mediterranean coast, just east of Marseilles, where the finest red wines of the French Riviera are produced. Only 4,000 cases of red Bandol is produced annually from their organically tended, terraced vineyards. Celine Pascale has taken a few years ago the winemaking reins from her father Achille, who started the winery. This development has brought about significant changes in the physical plant and the winemaking practices, bringing greater focus and clarity to the wines. Today, Domaine le Galantin cultivates 35 hectares in the Plan du Castellet."
"The ancient steep vineyards of Bandol - first planted by Phocaean Greeks c.600BC - are the perfect home of Mourvedre, and here the grape produces wines which can age at least three decades. As at le Galantin, the best vineyards are planted on poor clay and sandy soil on old terraces, known locally as restanques. The appellations's 1400 hectares of largely south facing vineyards get an extraordinary 3,000 hours of sun a year, but the heat is tempered by constant wind and also humidity from the sea." - Importer
This wine was also rated 89 Points by the Wine Advocate.

Hinckley touts work at its Maine boatyardPosted on
The Hinckley Company is celebrating its 85th anniversary this year.
Equipped with a 160-ton Travelift, the companys Southwest Harbor yard in Maine has a work force of 55 and has worked on more than 100 Talaria Jet and Picnic Boats, and Hinckley sail and other sail- and power yachts, the company said in a statement.
The company said the 113,000-square-foot work space, which is mostly heated, was filled this winter with brands such as Alden, Morris, Lyman-Morse, Grand Banks, Sabre, C&C, Bertram and Viking.
"Discerning owners come to Hinckley because this yard can provide the service and expertise that most yards can't and the rest won't," the yard's new operations manager, Will Ratcliff, said in a statement. "Henry Hinckley said, 'If you want the job done right, you have to do it yourself.' That way of thinking is imbued in this crew."

Nokia told us it would be announcing new XpressMusic phones today and guess what...
A trio of new handsets are out in the wilderness hitting the mid to low range range and perfectly decent they seem too.
At the head of the queue is the '5730 XpressMusic' the line's first model to feature a full sliding Qwerty keyboard, a 3.2MP camera, WiFi and GPS. Perhaps more importantly however, the 5730 also features a redesign of the UI to integrate the company's Ovi software. This adds a nifty INQ1-esque shortcut bar along the bottom to quickly access social networking apps, online downloads and more. It'll drop in Q2 for 280 euros sim free.
Dropping down a step we come to the 5330, a slider with 2MP camera, large 24 hour audio battery life and the '5030', a candy bar with large external rear speaker (lucky public transport commuters) and equally epic battery life but no camera. Neither support 3G, GPS or WiFi. Sensibly, all XpressMusic handsets do continue to sport 3.5mm headphone jacks and FM tuners. The 5330 will go for just 160 euros when it lands in Q3 with the 5030 costing a meagre 40 euros without contract in Q2.
So nothing particularly mind blowing but, as ever, they are Nokia's - they'll work just fine.

Official Chart: PJ & Duncan earn their first no.1
The Let's Get Ready to Rhumble singers beat Pink to the top by 5,000 copies
PJ & Duncan are at number one on the UK singles chart with their 1994 hit 'Let's Get Ready to Rhumble'.
19 years on from their first hit, the boys have soared to the top of the charts with their signature song. The track has risen up the charts since the boys performed with the stars of The Big Reunion on ITV.
Ant tells OfficialCharts.com: "Wow. This week has been crazy! We never expected such an amazing reaction to us performing the song on the show. To be Number 1 in the Official Charts is just unbelievable!"
"To get a Number 1 single with this song 19 years later is very surreal, but we're genuinely chuffed!" adds Dec.
"Thank you to everyone that has bought the single, as you are helping Childline, a charity that we are very passionate about."
Pink and Nate Ruess sit at number two with 'Just Give Me a Reason'. The pair are just 5,000 copies behind Ant and Dec. All this fierce competition means that last week's number one, The Saturdays and Sean Paul, have been shunted down to three with 'What About Us'.
Outside of the top three, Justin Timberlake's 'Mirrors' drops to four, Bastille hold strong at five with 'Pompeii' and Bruno Mars falls two to six with 'When I Was Your Man'.
Charlie Brown is a new entry at seven with 'On My Way', while Bridgit Mendler is a non-mover at eight with 'Ready Or Not'.
Nelly's 'Porsche' rises six places to nine and Macklemore's 'Thrift Shop' drop three places to round out the top 10.

Photos: Classical Musicians in the Winter Olympics Closing Ceremony
If the opening ceremony of the 2014 Winter Olympics felt like a blockbuster movie version of Russian history – albeit with the darker episodes carefully edited out – the closing ceremony seemed more like an art-house flick: a tableau of Russian culture with plenty of classical music sprinkled in. The ceremony, which brought the 17-day games to an end, took place on Sunday night at the symbolic time of 20:14 in Sochi.
The splashiest musical moment came when Russian pianist Denis Matsuev emerged from a cloud of smoke to the crashing strains of Rachmaninoff's Piano Concerto No. 2. Soon, a flurry of dancers in white wigs began pushing other pianos about the stage, captured in overhead camera shots that evoked a Busby Berkeley-style set piece.

The sequence was reminiscent of the 2008 Beijing Olympics opening ceremony, where pianist Lang Lang sat with a five-year-old girl at a white Steinway surrounded by dancers; here, three children peered on as Matsuev played. The 38-year-old pianist was a winner of the International Tchaikovsky Competition in 1998.
The ceremony took a more surreal turn when a Marc Chagall painting was projected on stage and masked dancers began cavorting on stilts to the sounds of Tatiana Samouil, a St Petersburg-born violinist, and violist Yuri Bashmet. The fiddlers joined an unspecified orchestra in Alfred Schnittke's Polka (Schnittke was also heard during the opening ceremony). Samouil, 39, has performed with Bashmet and his Soloists of Moscow Orchestra and is a first violinist in the Malibran Quartet.

In the portion of the ceremony where Russia handed over the reins to the next Winter Olympics host, Pyeongchang, South Korea, the soundtrack shifted to an amalgam of Korean folk and pop styles. Here soprano Sumi Jo appeared with jazz singer Youn Sun Nah and a zither player in an ultra-polished arrangement of a traditional folk melody. There was also a bit of the Korean pianist Yang Bang-ean and K-pop star Lee Seung-cheol.

The night's events also featured circus acrobats tumbling to Shostakovich's Circus Polka; the Bolshoi and Mariinsky Ballet companies dancing to Rimsky-Korsakov's Scheherazade (as part of a potted version of famous Ballet Russes productions); soprano Hibla Gerzmava singing on a fantasy boat; and Valery Gergiev conducting the much-heralded, 1000-voice children's choir (seen below). The ceremony ended with a Tchaikovsky fireworks display, an appropriate send-off to an Olympics that got its share of the composer's music during figure-skating competitions.

Chipotle Upgrades Drink Selection With New Patrón MargaritaBy
Chipotle is seriously upgrading its wet bar. Starting on April 29 the chain will serve, in addition to its selection of bottled beers, a new type of margarita at its 900 or so restaurants that have liquor licenses. This isn't your ordinary fast-food refreshment, though: Chipotle's new cocktails will be filled with upscale Patrón Silver tequila, which typically retails for more than $40 a bottle. That's right: Your workday lunch-on-the-go just got a little bit classier and a lot more dangerous.
Chipotle already offers a standard margarita, made with Sauza tequila, which will now be relegated as the house margarita and priced at about $5 each. The Patrón drinks will cost customers anywhere from $6.50 to $8, depending on the location. According to Chipotle spokeswoman Danielle Winslow, "the motivator for this new margarita was to make [the old one] taste better."
What does this mean for Chipotle? "Historically, alcohol accounts for a pretty small percentage of sales—between 1 and 2 percent—but we think there may be more interest in this Patrón premium margarita," says Winslow. Based on revenue of $2.73 billion in 2012, that could translate into about $27.3 million to $54.6 million worth of margaritas.
The deal is good for billion-dollar tequila brand Patrón, too. It makes Chipotle one of its top 10 on-premise partners (i.e., bars, restaurants, and hotels). "Nine hundred new points of distribution is very significant for us," says Greg Cohen, a spokesman for Patrón Spirits.
One pressing question remains: How do they taste?
With Bloomberg Businessweek photo editor and amateur tequila aficionado Will Halsey, I set out for Chipotle's test kitchen in New York to try the new drink. In addition to Patrón, it's mixed with agave nectar, lemon and lime juices, and triple sec. (For the record: All of Chipotle's crew will be trained to prepare the drink).
The verdict? It was enjoyable. Although we agreed that the Patrón margarita could have benefited from just one thing: a little more Patrón. "The margarita was refreshingly tart, with a solid balance of lime and agave—the freshness of ingredients really came through," says Halsey. "I would drink one anytime, though likely more than one."

VALRICO — A seesaw battle with four lead changes turned into an exchange of punts in the second half, during which Bloomingdale scored the only points.
"We told our kids all week it's going to be a slugfest," Bloomingdale coach John Booth said.
Nine of the game's 12 punts came during the second half. That's also when the Bulls rallied from a 12-10 deficit on Isaiah McIntyre's 29-yard sideline pass to Doug Sandberg and 16-yard run up the middle in the waning minutes.
"At halftime, we said we've got to find our playmaker to put us over the top," Booth said. "And (McIntyre is) our playmaker."
McIntyre, a sophomore who also scored on a sneak during the second quarter, accounted for 193 of his team's 275 yards of offense, passing for 127 and running for 66.
Strawberry Crest opened the scoring with Tristan Hyde's 5-yard pass to his brother, Joshua. Bloomingdale scored the next 10 points on Lucas Jose's 53-yard field goal (his 52-yarder on the previous possession fell just short) and McIntyre's first touchdown run.
Tristan Hyde, a junior coming off a breakout season that included 20 touchdowns, also threw a 21-yard touchdown to Farron Rainford.
He was 15-of-36 for 219 yards.

The 2013 Nissan Altima has Earned a Five-Star Safety Rating
The new Altima demonstrates Nissan's commitment to driver and passenger safety.
This achievement is impressive, but is even more so in light of the fact that the NHTSA, beginning with 2011 models, implemented more stringent tests, making it more difficult for any vehicle to achieve the coveted five-star rating. The 2013 Nissan Altima earned this prized designation thanks to cutting-edge safety technologies that include the automaker's advanced airbag system, Vehicle Dynamic Control, the LATCH system (Lower Anchors And Tethers for Children), and front and rear crumple zones, among others. Optional safety features include a rearview camera, Blind Spot Warning, and Lane Departure Warning.
"The 2013 Altima is the whole package," said Brian Carolin, Nissan North America Inc.'s senior vice president of sales and marketing, "offering class-leading 38 mpg highway, premium comfort, and advanced safety features."
Indeed, while safety is a point of exceptional strength, the new Altima has much more to offer. Even the base Altima 2.5 sedan comes with excellent technology features, including keyless ignition and entry, Bluetooth, and a 4-inch display screen. Drivers who wish to upgrade will find that higher trim levels come with such items as a navigation system, heated front seats, a heated steering wheel, among other things. Drivers who crave a sportier look will be pleased to learn that the 2013 Altima is also available as a coupe.
Nissan hasp laced a premium on interior comfort, too. The new Altima features so-called "zero gravity" front seats, which were developed in part from NASA research. They're designed specifically to relieve pressure on common pressure points, making for a more comfortable experience, especially during longer trips.
The 2013 Nissan Altima is available now, and interested drivers can see it for themselves when they visit Liberty Nissan's Chicagoland dealership, along with the rest of the automaker's lineup of superb new vehicles.

These explanations depend on the operational and tactical point of view and can be embedded in complex systems which hamper research into the nature of human error. There nuclear types of human errors which, although identified, preventive measures may indicate the operator's task manager and acting through programs of Human Reliability and Task Analysis. The discussion on human errors is old by production management but not effective. The main efforts so far have been undertaken in the search for solutions based on equipment, process technology and management. These issues bring solutions not effective with regard to human error and can result in inappropriate projects that fail to achieve the status of &'human error-proof.&' Human factors in the current level of technology (control and automation), have been blamed for stoppages of production systems with time losses, accidents or loss of property. Statistics indicate human involvement in 85% of industry losses related to downtime of production systems. The human contribution may be even greater when taking into account that many latent failures contribute to the loss of capacity of equipment and people at work and cause loss of competitiveness in the industry The analysis of the causes of human errors in the work is highly complex due to the fluctuation of the behavior resulting of environments influence. The operator who performs the tasks of the job has variable behavior due to several factors, among them: non-availability of suitable tools and environments to accomplish the task; changes in the balance between personal and organizational goals, between individual and organizational values (commitment); and due to inherent issues in human formation for the job, emerging with motivational aspects, often, of unconscious dimension. The complexity of this analysis involves (PADOP, Figure 2): environmental aspects; types of cognitive processing that lead to specific decision models; forms of planning, executing and controlling the task; levels of knowledge and ability to implement and task analysis including verifying the demand for training for skills training; commitment to task; verification of the statement of causality techniques for failure; and verification of mentoring in the implementation of projects by providing task interface between man, the equipment and process. Chemical Industry has had Accidents with 80% of human cause and try to implement management systems (ready packages) to reduce this share. This kind of attempt is unsuccessful leading to the belief that without deep study of environments and regional mental models, it can't ensure reduction of accidents. Studies conducted and published in the Nuclear Industry (UK and USA), the Transport Services in Railway System (Virginia, USA) in Aerospace (USA), and in maritime transport projects with Nautical (Scotland) presents the following conclusion: &' The models for predicting human error in performing the task can't be trusted to consider the fluctuation of human behavior based on changing environment.&' A specialist in process losses (Paul Sharratt / UMIST) confirm that organizational and safety culture are difficulty to relate with occurrence of accidents, one sees the need to study the human factors in complex systems embedded in organizational and social environments. The business environment also reports that despite having acquired and deployed basics of HSE management technology (Dupont), it appears that in the routine actions, accidents continue to follow trends beyond the expected. Interdisciplinary groups should be formed to start work that seeks to increase Human Reliability in Technical Systems. The Analysis involves technical aspects of failure analysis: as social environments where the failure occurs on the task and human aspects (Figure 1) analysis of the structural characteristic of the individual and their relationship to specific behaviors (affective or cognitive or intuitive) for the task. The search to avoid human error in the activity of the operation lies over the non-execution of the task in a planned manner as indicated by Embrey (Technical Carman) and Lees. There are several reasons that can lead to failure in task perform, among them: the operator relies on his experience, he believes that the best manner of operation is yours. This operator performs the task according to his vision of procedure. Another possibility is the overconfidence of knowledge about the steps of the procedure then, apparently, does not need to read or to do check-list. The operator that will perform the task, and may not have participated in the planning and writing, disagreeing with the stages and times, just doing the task differently. Lees tells about the need to plan the task based on knowledge and accomplish the task-based planning relying on skill, correcting parameters and steps to measure and control the resulting state of the task. Thus, making possible the correction of procedure based on the difference between the status and the ideal state plant. The PADOP methodology (Standards and Procedures in Operation) is proposed to analyze the task including: the environments influence; the type of cognitive processing with decision models; and verification about the efficacy and effectiveness in achieving the ideal state. Some important aspects of the give importance to PADOP utilization: ? clear identification of human and technical default state to be reached; ? Inventory Analysis of knowledge based on: actual demands (causation problem) and commitment in the implementation, as written; ? Level of cooperation in Teams (written and verbal communication); ? Characteristic type of profile on the creativity and standardization in performing the task; ? Type of mental map constructed for the procedure by the operator: time, clarity, sequence, team work; ? Logic roles in performing the task and availability of tools and information; ? Interpret procedures taking into account cultural differences; and measure results to determine the efficacy and effectiveness. Some occurrence or routine cases are considered by the viewpoint of the operator and manager using concepts entered by Embrey (CARMAN), by Lees (Task Planning) and Ávila (PADOP) resulting in recommendations for action of man on the production line (environment analysis, leadership, skill, human error, and the decision task): Director, ex-operator and ex-engineer always participate in the startup of industrial plants, inhibiting the shift; improper behavior on waste disposal and cooperation in the solution; financial vision (bank) of director about reaction oscillation and practical solution, the initiative of the collective using alchemy at operation; mapping perception abilities to identify loss of vacuum in an industrial plant; purpose of disseminating research report about the fluctuations in the vacuum leading to the resolution &'does not communicated&' of root-cause; lack of cooperation and selfishness at shift turnover generating fault signals in the early stages of this work (passing the ball square to the partner); quick perception of loss of effluent through tests with solid plate polymer attacked by the solvent, becoming possible adjusts in the process and investigate the root-cause; interpreted signals allows the routine reordered hypotheses and test patterns to change; while respecting regional codes of behavior you can change patterns with reduced effort of persuasion (negotiating changes in temperature with operator panel before writing the definite statement); inspection of the feet of employees in the dressing room as contamination by direct contact with chemicals - inadequate standards; natural behavior in the appropriation by the operators of industrial specific areas to maintaining organization and cleanliness; the blame provoked by contamination can dirty worker register by HSE investigation, the necessary omission; inadequate conditions assumed in production since the departure of the plant due to unknowing about root cause of problems, the case of o-ring in alternative pumps; changing of manager leading to changing in the rituals of social inclusion causing occupational and labor instabilities; sampling deviation indicating false pattern during visit of a supervisory body (production department pressure); large solvent loss to effluent by consecutive errors and omission group conscious, social vices; director authorizes the solvent vaporization in the effluent channel to prevent high levels of contaminants (measuring by the environmental agency); probable operator with overlapping functions deflects attention from the transfer operation of wastewater and loses control sending oil into the sea; hole in the reactor generating acid gas leakage needing inspection instrument (unavailable) ? leads to &'palliative&' inadequate solution creating ethics conflict; tank liberated (instruments authorizes) to maintenance work with ?positive? signs allowing permission to work (trust the obvious) leads to explosion and death of worker; corrective action to remedy failure causes fire truck in the courtyard of death and to help drive due to rain and transshipment of dike with toluene.

August 9, 2013
Eight days.
That is all that remains in a close-season that has been both eventful (Premier League managerial merry-go-round, Asia Tour, outgoing players) and excruciatingly uneventful (new signings).
The Asia Tour was very successful from a Club perspective – both on and off the pitch – and very enjoyable from the fans' perspective. We saw some great performances by a number of players and we came away with a perfect record.
But the competition started to get much more difficult last weekend when we hosted the Emirates Cup, featuring Napoli, Galatasary and Porto. In our first match – against Napoli – we faced our biggest test to date. The Serie A runners-up built a two-goal lead in the first 30 minutes before we settled down and earned the draw late in the second. Olivier Giroud scored off an overhead scissors kick with 18 minutes to go and Laurent Koscielny grabbed the equalizer in the 86th minute – a header off the rebound of a Pepe Reina save.
Arsène Wenger described the Napoli game as a "mental test" and noted a number of positive characteristics of Rafa Benitez's team. "I think they are a very good side. Very well organised. I like what they did in midfield. You could see that this team plays for a few years together."
That is in contrast to something Aaron Ramsey said after the game about playing with Jack Wilshere. "[We] have both been out for long periods of time with injury and we haven't had the opportunity to play with each other that often. Hopefully now we're both back fit we'll have more of an opportunity to play together … I played with Tomas [Rosicky] towards the end of last season and that seemed to work so it's only getting stronger as the season goes on." You have to think that if both players can stay healthy, this is a partnership that can be around – and dominate – for a long time
So despite the comeback, Napoli ended our pre-season winning streak. But we were still a position to hoist the Emirates Cup. As long as we beat our opposition in the second game, Galatasaray. The Turkish side beat Porto in the tournament's opening match. We looked to be on our way to victory after Theo Walcott scored in the first half. But Gala made some major changes in the second half, including bringing on Didier Drogba. And the Ivorian would again prove to be a thorn in our side scoring twice in the final 15 minutes.
Wenger cited the difference between the two halves and suggested that fatigue played a very big role in the drop off. Still, he called it "good preparation" for the upcoming season.
Normally after a game the press conference is focused on the match, the teams, individual performances and so on. But following both matches, the media was laser focused on Arsenal's transfer dealings this summer. The manager did his best to both politely answer the questions, and deflect them as much as he could.
Regarding the off-season moves, French forward Yaya Sanogo, who made his debut against Galatasaray, remains the sole player in Arsenal's in-box. The out-box however has gotten rather full. Gervinho moved on to Roma on a permanent deal on Thursday and Arsenal announced on Friday that Spanish defender Ignasi Miquel will spend the season at Leicester City.
That last move is especially interesting. Miquel, while he hasn't played too much for the first team, was effectively one of our top four central defenders going into the new season. As the manager noted after the Emirates Cup finale, "We have to show more defensive stability. We want to work on that." For the moment, that means we might have to look to Bacary Sagna to move to the middle if something happens to either of our starters. But few people, including the player himself, are concerned that he would not be up to the task.
The other big development of the week was the Champions League qualifier draw. Yet again, we picked up a rather tricky opponent in this stage, Turkish runners-up Fenerbahce. The first leg will be on August 21 in Istanbul, with the return leg at Emirates six days later. We last played them in the 2008/09 group stage and came away with a 5-2 aggregate win.
Looking ahead, Arsenal have one more warm-up match before next weekend's Premier League opener against Aston Villa. And this will surely be the stiffest competition of the pre-season. The squad heads to Helsinki to take on Manchester City in a friendly. Theo Walcott said that the game "will be a chance for us all to experience the tempo of the Premier League and what it's going to be like." And he's also excited to be running straight at old teammate Gael Clichy.
In addition to the former Gunners involved, the match in Finland will also be homecoming of sorts for Carl Jenkinson. The England right-back represented Finland at the youth levels before making the final decision to play for England at the senior level. Jenko's mother is Finnish and he spent a lot of time there in his younger days and he said he's snatched up around 50 tickets for family and friends.
Kick-off for Saturday's game is at the usual 10 a.m. and you can find it in the USA on the beIN SPORT network if it is available in your area. As ever, you can tune in to Arsenal Player for the live audio and an as-live replay after the match concludes.
And then things really get going. Come on you Gunners!Copyright 2017 The Arsenal Football Club plc. Permission to use quotations from this article is granted subject to appropriate credit being given to www.arsenal.com as the source

The thing about getting older is a different beast for every stage that you go through. From being a teenager and going through either early development, your star rising as high as it's going to get from those young years (both boys and girls) to the waddling through the pond years of your 20's, where you freak out that you're getting too old too fast or you are blissfully ignorant of your decade until someone throws out that you're almost 30, to your actual 30's where family life, settling on a career, considering a family and all that are afforded to people who make more money than the collective income of the guests on "Maury."
It's all different. Which is why I crack up every time my mother - who just turned 65 last week - will bring up an actress such as Helen Mirren and talk about her (Mirren is 68, for the record) as if she's this old wise sage of an actress. One would think that once you're in your 60's that three years older wouldn't be all that big of a deal. But for some, like my obsessed with aging mother (I'll hand it to her and Mirren, both of them haven't had plastic surgery or anything to prolong their looks other than regular exercise, good eating habits and drinking lots of water), it's amazing how much those three little years mean to them. I allow my mom that. She's earned it.
(The magazine also had a couple of glamour shots of Penelope Cruz in it, thought I'd share them in here as well.)

According to Credit Suisse, the U.S. Congress is scheduled to leave Washington this week to focus on the fall elections. They have postponed the consideration of the major components of the "fiscal cliff" – the expiration of the Bush tax cuts, automatic budget sequestration, and extension of the debt ceiling – until the expected lame duck session in November.
Credit Suisse does not believe a long term solution to these issues is likely in the lame duck session. Instead, they expect the Congress to approve a short-term extension for the various components of the fiscal cliff and address them more comprehensively next year.
The manner in which these issues will be addressed is highly correlated to the election results and therefore it is difficult to determine what the construct of a final package will ultimately look like.
Meantime, William Gale, Brookings' chair of Federal Economic Policy and a former George H.W. Bush economist said this week that, "Going over the cliff may be the only way to get Republicans to negotiate any meaningful tax increases, given the no new taxes pledge."

I think they would go with the best all around that they could find...power, capacity and ease of use...glock, Sig, XD and so on.
Wyatt Earp died, Jan. 13, 1929. In 1898, San Francisco police relieved him of a 7 1/2" Colt SAA shortly before he was to referee a boxing match.Quote:
Wyatt Earp died of old age in 1939 I have no Idea what he carried.
I have no idea what they would carry but I suspect it would be state of the art since they generally stayed with the trend from cap and ball to cartridge except for Hickok and some historians believe he had switched to cartridge conversions by the time of his demise. Probably didn't make much difference since he was almost blind by then. Earp seldom carried a handgun. He was a large man and preferred to manhandle most lawbreakers. He did have shotguns stashed in businesses along main street that put one within a few steps of wherever he might be. Lawbreakers tended to become docile facing a double barreled hammer 10 or 12 gauge loaded with buckshot. Most western towns by the mid 1870's had ordinances prohibiting firearms inside town limits. Certainly people carried concealed in defiance but I suspect most complied.
Unlike Hardin and Hickok, Earp may be able to claim at least an assist at the OK Corral but there is no positive proof that he ever killed another person one on one despite movies and other hype including the Lake biography and Earp's own statements.
I think that if thrust into present day society, they would stick with their own, already 'known' weapon of choice.
Talk about 'point shooting' experts.:gah:
I think that they would declare our laws a bunch of hooey...kind of like us.
I also would picture them with some sort of full-size double-stack semi auto pistol with some sort of backup gun. And, doing all they can to keep an rifle near them. I do not see any of them with a revolver as anything but a backup.
To my knowledge, most if not all such men carried as many shots as they could get.
Though they probably only needed one.:yup:
I think most of them would opt for a big bore N-Frame revolver &/or a 1911 type pistol, marksmanship and a calm under fire was what kept most of them alive during that era, so I don't think higher capacity would be an important priority.
Yeah, sure there might be a hold out or two, but the vast majority ain't gonna be stickin' with their single action six shooters. NO WAY. Even if they didn't "want" the advanced firearms, they definitely would END up with them...if they were smart...and lived long enough. Even Johnny Law back then wouldn't let themselves be out gunned by the roving gangs that we all know would definitely have had advanced high capacity semi-auto (or full auto) pistols and rifles. Much like the "militarization" of our police today with AR-15s, body armor, etc. They "need" it for the bad guys, whether we agree with that sentiment or not. Those cowboys back then wouldn't have thought any differently.
Nice thread topic. I'm gonna sit back and read for a change.
I think they would go for modern technology, just not tupperware.

My DCT stalled out while driving today...*MK3*
Hey all, so here's the situation of what happened.
I was going uphill, and I was in sport mode. Once I got to about the top of the hill I put it in Drive. After that on the way down the hill, it auto-shifted down (rpm increased), instead of up, which I thought was weird cause it usually shifts up on downhills. Anyways I noticed that happen, and then I was preparing to turn right at the bottom of the hill, so I flipped my turn signal. It was then that I noticed the main screen said "Transmission not in Park", and all of the gauges read 0 as if the car was off. I check the stick and it was in Drive still. I then check the key and it was in the "off" position... So I had to really quickly just start the car because I had the turn coming up at the bottom of the hill. All I know is, i'm 99% sure it stalled out randomly while driving because all the signs of that happening were there. I was told that the DCT cannot stall out, and you can't damage the car because the car will auto-shift before you can. Anyways, I don't think I did anything wrong, and the car randomly stalled out.
As a background, I'v got 2,200 miles on it since I got it on Dec. 14, 2012, and I've been driving it pretty hard. I haven't done the 1st oil change yet.
Please respond if you've had similar issue or if anyone knows whats up. Thanks.

496 engine build
I have a 496 bbc engine. that was a propane engine before i took it out of my truck. I am putting this engine in a 92 foxbody mustang and wanting to make some performance adjustment to it. I have bought a luncati roller cam, new haromnic balance, new timing chain. i am looking for some heads that woud help produce more power. I have a 400 turbo transmission with an 3500 stall also. and 3.73 performance gears. what are some decent heads for this motor. eventually I want to have a t3/t4 twin turbo to this car. Woud ike to keep it street and strip. any ideas. I do have my msd also for engine.
is this a factory 8.1ltr mpfi or a 454 stroker based
496 build
it is a stock 8.1 engine
496 engine build
Do you know the effective head volume of your pistons? Also are they flat top or dished. The best heads for power are Afr, Dart, Brodix.
I've only seen heads and intake for the 8.1 from Raylar and Dart.
Better have extremely deep pockets to build an 8.1, as very few parts from a smaller/earlier BBC fit it. Heads have wrong bolt pattern, internals are all oddball dimensions.
did you buy a "turbo" cam?
496 build
Lunanti roller cam
did you buy a Lunati,"turbo" cam
No I don't believe I did, didn't know there was a difference.

As the Leighton board continues to grapple with a series of investigations it needs to think seriously about board renewal, particularly because two veteran non-executive directors stand for re-election at the May 22 board meeting.
The meeting has been brought forward to bring Leighton into line with the reporting of its major shareholder, Germany's Hochtief, with the company saying it expects to publish a notice of meeting in the next few weeks with the names Achim Drescher, 72, and Wayne Osborn, 60, up for re-election.
But the mood of minority shareholders in Leighton is for more board renewal, particularly after the shenanigans that have gone on in the company for the past 18 months, which has included a botched succession plan, massive writedowns, profit downgrades, project blowouts, a big equity issue and the departure of experienced senior managers.
And while much of that is now in the past, some problems are still to be resolved. These include: an investigation by the Australian Federal Police into allegations of bribery in Iraq; inquiries by the corporate regulator into whether there was a breach of continuous disclosure rules in the timing of its announcement of cost blowouts and project delays at the $2.5 billion Victorian desalination plant, the $4.2 billion Brisbane Airport Link and its Middle East operations; a class action by Maurice Blackburn; and its credit rating, downgraded by Moody's and Standard & Poor's, bringing it perilously close to non-investment grade.
This column revealed yesterday the existence of an internal investigation conducted in 2009 relating to a $1.4 billion joint venture in Abu Dhabi that collapsed as a scandal erupted over procurement practices by at least one Leighton manager. The investigation was conducted after Leighton's joint venture partner TDIC received documents that alleged fraudulent activity.
The internal investigation, codenamed Project Rabbit, was headed by Deloitte Corporate Finance. Deloitte completed an internal report on June 22, 2009, days after the TDIC/Leighton joint venture collapsed.
The Leighton manager was investigated over certain cash payments that appeared in various bank accounts, certain statements in emails, including the following email:
Sent: Thu Aug 14 11:04:49 2008
Subject: Fishing trip Friday 5th September
I have sourced a 41 foot fishing boat in Dubai leaving from Jumeriah Beach Hotel. Can you please advise if you would be keen to have a half days fishing (4hrs) on Friday 5th Sep. The scheduled departure time is 5am so it will be an early start.
The boat only can take 10 so first in best dressed will apply. Please reply if you are interested.
I plan to have a subcontractor sponsor this event !!!!!!!!!!!!!! shhhhhhhhhh
According to the Deloitte report: "The above e-mail indicates [the name of the Leighton executive omitted] willingness to approach a subcontractor to fund what appears to be a team-building event. This contradicts statements by [the name of the Leighton executive omitted] that the subcontractor offered to fund the event without any encouragement."
The Leighton employee returned to Leighton in Sydney and the company could not confirm whether he was still working for Leighton.
With so many issues going on, the group's well-regarded chief risk officer, Craig van der Laan, left suddenly last week to "pursue other career opportunities", after joining Leighton less than a year ago. Part of his job was to oversee the investigation by the AFP into allegations of bribery in Iraq, which date back to 2010. A fuller explanation for his departure was not given.
With such turmoil and such traumatic times for its managers over the past 19 months it is hard to have confidence that the hundreds of other projects that make up Leighton's $45 billion work in hand are running smoothly, despite what its new boss, Hamish Tyrwhitt, says.
For instance, there are concerns the contract conditions to sell 35 per cent of Leighton India to Welspun last year resulted in onerous conditions that could one day blow up in Leighton's face. And there are concerns about whether the Chennai-Nashi road tunnel project in the lower Himalayas in Indian Kashmir can be completed in time.
Against this backdrop, shareholders will vote on the re-election of Drescher, who joined the board in 1996 and Osborn, who joined the main board in 2008 after serving on the group's subsidiary board Thiess from 2005.
For the directors who are not up for re-election, it should also be time to think carefully about what is best for the company. The former chairman David Mortimer did so last year when he offered his resignation, as did Peter Noe. Others still sitting on the board include David Robinson, who has been a director since 1990 and Ian Macfarlane, the former Reserve Bank governor, who joined Leighton in 2007.
Any decision on board re-election will boil down to the directors themselves and Leighton's major shareholder Hochtief, which has more than 50 per cent of Leighton. If Hochtief believes the board needs refreshing, this will happen. Put simply, Hochtief has a new major shareholder, Spain's ACS, which needs Hochtief and Leighton to lift their game. ACS is carrying a lot of debt, its business in Spain is suffering and so it won't tolerate the poor performance of Hochtief, which recently suspended its dividend after reporting a €160 million loss in 2011.
While Leighton's overall result for the six months to December 31 was a profit of $340 million - it reaffirmed it would meet its calendar 2012 forecast of $600 million to $650 million - if this starts to look wobbly, ACS will further flex its muscle.

This recipe for Cookie Dough Brownies is so rich and decadent that it's almost sinfully bad. But not quite. Unless you devour the whole pan.
I've been making this recipe for years and I've got to say – I think it's my favorite brownie recipe. There's three layers – brownies, cookie dough (with no egg, so it's safe to eat), and finally melted chocolate on top. If I'm in a hurry, I use a box mix of brownies to speed the process along. Whenever I take these to a potluck or friend's house, I get many compliments and recipe requests.
I had to skip all my usual step photos today, as it came down to that or no brownies. Naturally, I picked the brownies with less photos. I figured you would understand. 😉
- 4 eggs
- 1 cup canola oil
- 2 cups sugar
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1-1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup baking cocoa
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup chopped walnuts, optional
- 3/4 cup butter, softened
- 3/4 cup packed brown sugar
- 1/3 cup sugar
- 3 tablespoons 2% milk
- 1-2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1.5 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup (6 ounces) semisweet chocolate chips
- 2 tablespoon shortening
- 3/4 cup chopped walnuts (optional)
In a large bowl, beat the eggs, oil, sugar and vanilla until well blended. Combine the flour, cocoa and salt; gradually beat into egg mixture. Stir in walnuts if desired.
Pour into a greased 13-in. x 9-in. baking pan. Bake at 350° for 30 minutes or until brownies test done. Cool completely.
For filling, in a large bowl, cream butter and sugars until light and fluffy. Beat in milk and vanilla. Gradually beat in flour. Spread over the brownies; chill until firm.
For glaze, in a microwave, melt chocolate chips and shortening; stir until smooth. Spread over filling. Immediately sprinkle with nuts, pressing down slightly. Let stand until set.
Give these Cookie Dough Brownies a try. I don't think you'll be disappointed.
*Note – I modified this recipe (1.5 x the cookie dough part) just slightly from Taste of Home

Cash Payday Loans Mississauga
Cash Payday Loans Mississauga offer those less than cash the means to cover necessary expenses and emergency outlays during times of financial distress. They should basically be entered into; however, if a borrower possesses a great deal of knowledge regarding their specific terms. Use the tips in this article, and you may know whether there is a good deal in front of you, or if you're just about to fall into a risky trap.

In fact, some might have short term specials, that truly make a difference within the total cost. Do your diligence, and ensure you are getting the best selection possible.
When considering applying for a payday loan, be sure you understand the repayment method. Sometimes you may have to send the lending company a post dated make certain they will money on the deadline day. Other times, you'll just have to provide them with your bank account information, and they will automatically deduct your payment from your account.
If you do not know much in regards to a payday loan but they are in desperate necessity of one, you may want to consult with a loan expert. This could even be a friend, co-worker, or family member. You want to be certain that you're not getting tricked, and that you know what you will get into.
Sometimes we can all utilize a little help financially. If you find yourself which has a financial problem, and you also don't know best places to turn, you can get a payday loan. A cash advance is a short-term loan you could receive quickly. There is a bit more involved, and the tips will allow you to understand further by what these loans are about.
Payday loan companies work around the laws to impose a fee the highest amount. These loans cost a degree (say $15 per $100 lent), which are just interest disguised as fees. As a result, credit can accrue just as much as ten times the eye rate of an standard loan.

Katie from Twin Stripe shares her holiday gift bags inspired by our Christmas card design Merry Arrows.
While I'm not a big a fan of the cold, December is easily one of my favorite months. I love celebrating the season with my family and friends. Each year I take the time to send holiday greeting cards to my loved ones. When searching for the perfect card this year, I fell in love with Tiny Prints Merry Arrows Christmas card. I loved the modern look of the chevrons, the bold colors and of course the gold glitter.
I was inspired to put together some holiday favors – bags filled with pretzels dipped in creamy white chocolate with gold sprinkles – to match my holiday cards. These favors would be perfect addition to holiday stockings, a Christmas place setting or holiday gift.
To make chocolate covered pretzels, start by melting the white baking chocolate in the microwave. You do not want to burn the chocolate, so microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between each. Once the chocolate is melted, Dip your pretzels into the melted chocolate and let any excess drip off. Then shake sprinkles all over the chocolate. Place the finished pretzels on parchment paper to harden.
Once the chocolate has hardened, divide the pretzels up between clear bags, which you can find at your local craft store. Fold the bag over once and secure with a staple. Print and cut out your favorite treat bag topper, which you can download here. Fold the topper in half and use double sided tape to attach it to the treat bag.
Your friends and family will love this custom holiday treat. When I hosted my girl friends for a gift wrapping party, I handed them out as everyone was heading home. It was the perfect snack after a long day of gift wrapping. Happy holidays!

Prince William and Kate Middleton continued their pre-wedding tour today, appearing in Belfast.
It was the couple's first official visit to Northern Ireland, and they were greeted by a small crowd who had gathered in the grounds of City Hall for a glimpse of the royal pair.
The two playfully showed they were able to flip pancakes at the request of a young girl in the crowd, part of a Shrove Tuesday cancer fundraising event, according to The Telegraph.

My last entry talked about missing Maggie and I realized that was 2 years ago! Perhaps you are wondering what happened to her? Well it was quite an adventure!
Momma and I spent 3 weeks living at the cabin...well, three weeks off and on while trying to coax miss Maggie back home. We even set a live trap for her and she would have nothing of it. She was bound and determined to be on her own. The fox in the area though really enjoyed their brief stays in the trap because they were getting some fabulous meals!! The good news was that she stayed close to the cabin so we could keep tabs on her. She was getting thinner and thinner. The last time we saw her she had porcupine quills in her face and her ribs were sticking out.
Mom and I had given up hope. Mom spend the final night up on the mountain with her trying to get Maggie to come to her. Maggie was curious, but mom couldn't get her. So after a few hours, Mom said to her: "Maggie - I can't do this anymore. If you want to come live with me you are going to have to get in that trap so I can take you home!" and then we left. Mom drove all the way back to Denver with a very heavy and broken heart.
The next morning, Mom returned to work. At 8:00 a.m., the animal control team called Mom and said "We GOT HER!!!" Mom was so elated!!! She drove right back up there at that moment.
When Mom walked into the rescue center, Maggie looked at her and wagged her little tail. She was so happy to see her and couldn't wait to get in the car and go home. She has never left Mom's side since then.
It's rare for a story like that to end happily, but we all feel so fortunate that Maggie is such a survivor.
Please spread the POP for my foster sister, Maggie. For those of you who don't know, Maggie, got away from me last Friday and is currently lost in the mountains near Lake Granby, CO.
We were coming into the cabin (with me by her side) when she wrapped her leash around Mom's legs. Mom dropped the leash to get untangled as she was closing the door. She was spooked by something in the house and forced her way out. She is very good at this when she is determined. Mom followed her as far as she could until Maggie just disappeared into thin air (so it seems). She's so fast and far more agile in the mountains than either Mom or me. She was a terribly traumatized dog as a puppy mill mom just like me and afraid of every person, place, and thing. I tried to tell her that not all people are bad!! It was so hard for her though. She could make herself very small and hide in lots of places. She just didn't like human touch. She has only been here for only about 6 weeks which wasn't enough time for her to bond to us. I really hate puppy mills, more than I ever thought I could.
One of our wonderful GRRR volunteers lives in Granby with his Golden, Hacker and helped us search for her all morning on Saturday. We continued the search until dark on Saturday and again on Sunday until late afternoon and have the bug bites, scrapes, bruises, and barbed wire fence cuts to prove the effort. There is no sign of her anywhere and nobody in the area has seen her. She's hiding.
Leaving the cabin to come home was THE hardest thing we've done in a long long time and my heart can't break any more than it does right now. I know there is nothing else I can do for her, but it doesn't stop the feelings that I've let her down and the disappointment that I could not keep her safe.
We have notified the sheriff and the animal control officer for the area. An ad will go into the newspaper. I can only hope and pray that someone spots her or that she gets hungry enough to go to someone's house. My pain is somewhat eased knowing that there are a lot of people in the area keeping an eye out for her and that there is a GRRR volunteer in the area to help.
Please please please keep her in your prayers that she is found and safely returned to us. She deserves to have a good life!
Thank you for your love, support, and friendship.
Goodbye my sweet friend, Marley.
I love you!

Luxury on a Budget – Top Tips to Save
(Image link – Google Images)
We all want the best, but sometimes our bank balance can't quite match up to our dreams. The economy is difficult right now. It's hard for everyone who wants to drive a luxury vehicle. Even in booming China, the market is struggling. The problems are even clearer at the peak of the market. It's even harder to justify blowing a chunk of the family savings on a new motor. That doesn't mean that you can't do it. It just means that you have to be clever – or crafty – about it. There are plenty of ways to get a Premier League car on a Vauxhall Conference budget. Here are just a few tips on how to do so.
Shop around
Don't go to the same old garages time after time. Chances are they're not where the best deals are. Shopping around is always the best way to get a good deal. Look online too. Gather as much information as possible on the cars that are for sale. It sounds easy, yes, and cliched too, but don't be put off. It is the only way to ensure you get the most for your money.
Don't be a snob
Those upmarket garages and luxury sellers are alluring. I understand. What's key to remember, though, is that the product they sell is not theirs. A luxury car is a luxury car, whoever is selling it. Don't let them charge you a premium for their prestige showroom. That money doesn't help you get the best set of wheels. Seek out the car supermarkets. They'll often have fantastic deals on the top-quality machinery. A good place to start would be Pinetree Car Superstore. They stock all sorts of luxury vehicles at bargain prices. Furthermore, the service at these car supermarkets is often excellent. You do not need to waste your time going upmarket. All it does is lighten your wallet.
Part-exchanging is a great way of saving money on your new vehicle. You may have always sold your cars on yourself. In this market, that may not be the best way to make money. These days, people want their cars for cheaper prices. You may not get top dollar on the open market. It's also a big hassle to sell a car yourself. Part-exchanging is quicker and straightforward too. Good dealers will always offer a part-exchange option. Save the time and effort.
Hold your nose and dive in! Haggling is not exactly a skill in which the British have famous expertise. That doesn't matter. Go for it. There's always money to make through haggling. The dealer will always come down by a few hundred quid. It's worth the effort to give it a whirl. It's good fun, too. The thrill of the negotiation, the auction-room vibe. Fantastic.
Luxury cars don't have to come at a luxury price. There's always money to save. All it takes is a little bit of research and a little bit of bravery. Before you know it, you'll be pulling up at the lights to jealous stares from passers-by.

genetic engineering in humans is bad
Genetic engineering in humans may be able to save millions of lives by finally treating hereditary diseases such as cancer and cystic fibrosis. However genetic engineering will be abused by many perfectionists who want to design their babies right down to the colour of their eyes. I personally think it is a bad idea.
You can also add to the debate by leaving a comment at the end of the page.
One of many bad things in genetic engineering is cloning. Cloning is a process where we make same creatures from its DNA. On one side, you have a mathematical badness of cloning. Dolly was a sheep created by a process of cloning. It has created in 1996. It died in 2003 because of many circumstances. To make a good product of cloning you need to test a really huge number of units. So, it means that if you want to create "healthy" Dolly, you need to test a million of "unhealthy" Dollies. And there is the chanse that you will make some unit in 2050 maybe. That is not good because you cannot sacrifice a millon for just one!
On other side, there is an ethical measures. Just imagine that you create a million of Dollies. Then imagine that you create a million of people. Definitely, that is not ethical. Thus, cloning devalues the value of human life.
Cloning, in Dolly's case, was to realise a previously inaccessable idea. It was an excercise in popular science to try to create a story that would capture people's imagination and to concretely show that which had been only expressible in theories, equations and petri dish's. It was not a test for the efficacy of cloning as a means of production.
As for the ethical considerations which would come into play were human cloning to happen... They would, of course need to be thouroghly discussed and considered. But for the life of me, I cannot forsee a reasonable set of circumstance's which would lead to human cloning being benificial for any purpose. If someone were to clone one person a million times it would indeed raise ethical issues... So do a lot of potentialities that have next to no chance of happening.
Genetic modification does have the potential to cause harm, as does any tool that has ever been used. This particular tool has the potential to alter so many lives and so many future lives for the better, that i find it extremely difficult to understand, in any solid sense, how there could be an argument against. Ones that i can think of such as "design a child" or patenting wheats that are resistant to round up and owned by monsanto, who own the wheat, or religion etc are problems with the society not the tool. If the tool CAN be used to better lives, then it should, if it doesn't then the SOCIETY not the tool is wrong.
Genetically engineering food will expand how much we get, how it comes out and when it does. If we GE our food, we can grow more in a short amount of time and a lot of it. We can GE animals to get leaner meat , GE crops to make them grow before winter hits and make sure all the food can withstand any random harsh weather and still come out good.We may even be able to grow them in diffrent climates and places.
With genetic engineering and some more research man kind could finally cure many genetic diseases and disorders such as Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, Cystic Fibrosis, Haemophilia, colour blindness, some cancers, and down syndrome. Thus improving the quality of life of many and even the holy grail of medicine, immortality.
It is true that Genetic Engineering can cure may diseases but it can lead to new ones as well. How do we know for sure that mixing DNA to cure one thing won't lead to another problem? We may start diseases never before heard of or known. We dont know
What GE can also do to our health. It can start infections or someyhing because the body is not used to being Genetically altered.
What do you think?

2 Comments on "genetic engineering in humans is bad"
The fact of the matter is the more time people test and work with genetic engineering there will be more chances to unlock the full power of the brain if we do if we do the test on humans.
exactly, with all of the good things that can come out, there are still consequences. We lose human life and could start many unknown things, instead of having great control over the body we could start mutating.

Gas Pains
Tom grew up in Milwaukee, bartended in Wauwatosa in the '70s and moved here in 1984.
Commentary, observations and musings about the outdoors, life in general and maybe Tosa politics and personalities will be the order of the day. He savors a lively debate as much as terrific cooking.
Deer Camp - Day Five
This time of year you will see a great deal of orange clothing out and about.
Sometimes called Hunter's Orange or Blaze Orange - it is the garb du jour around here.
It's been required for deer hunters since 1980 - but it is also a good policy for upland bird hunters, small game hunters and other groups armed with firearms. Knowing that you don't get a Mulligan once a firearm is discharged you want to make sure you are as visible as possible to anyone that's afield and in your vicinity.
Here's an example.
Oops. Here's a more practical example.
Last Saturday I spied a tiny speck of blaze orange atop the escarpment more than a mile and a quarter to the south of my tree. I trained my binoculars on the spot and glassed a hunter in a tree stand sticking-out as plain as the light of day against a background of brown and gray. You couldn't miss him if you tried.
The policy around camp is rather simple. Anytime anyone ventures outdoors - whether it is for a trip to town or a trip to the compost bin - wear your orange.
Even Girlfriend sports a nifty neoprene vest that is black on the bottom and blaze orange on top.
Very stylish.
I'll be suiting-up head to toe with the stuff shortly and heading out.
Update 5:45 PM
Spent a good share of today working on day job stuff. A steaming cuppa joe and a warm laptop in front of the woodburner is not all bad. It is blustery and cold.
Low gray clouds scudding across the sky hid the sun. Temps are warmer by about eight degrees than yesterday but the wind is howling. My guess is the wind and the dank humidity make it feel colder than it really is.
Thinking I could hide from the wind I attempted to find refuge in the swamp with my twelve gauge, Remington 870 slug gun.
No way. The wind gusts sent my trees swaying like a corkscrewing crow's nest. One rail of the stand was already busted and creaking trees and falling branches convinced me to head for the ground.
So I took a long slow walk through the tree plantations figuring I might roust a deer bedded-down for the day.
Nothing happening. Not even a shot heard today.
The forecast is calling for rain and snow and overnight lows tomorrow of twelve degrees.

text: Does anyone have experience with concealed carrying while on horseback? If so, what type of holster have you found works best? At first I thought a fanny pack, but I found it to be too bulky and it would be difficult to draw. I was thinking of carrying with a body belt in the small of my back, but unsure of safety, etc. I've recently received my concealed carry permit and still trying things out. I'm female with an athletic build. Thanks for your suggestions!
