I recently misplaced my longtime Remington folding knife.After looking for days I've temporarily given up. At the same time a blurb for a Mantis knife called the Tough Tony appeared in Guns Magazine.
It looked very hip, so I ordered and it came yesterday. I am very happy with this purchase.Weighs 5 oz with a belt clip. Florida being a CCW state, the knife is covered by the permit.
Just a little added protection and great for a lot of chores. Only 4 reviews so far but all 5 star. Check it out:

Taylor set to spearhead Blackburn United
9:30am Saturday 26th May 2012 in News By Andy Cryer , Blackburn Rovers reporter
A GROUP of concerned Blackburn Rovers fans have come together to form 'Blackburn United' in an attempt to co-ordinate the growing frustration at events at Ewood Park.
The brainchild of Sir Bill Taylor, it is a co-ordinating group drawn from leaders of trusts, groups, forums, fanzines and websites of the supporters of Blackburn Rovers.
They met earlier this week to determine how to respond to the current situation at Rovers under the chaotic regime of Venky's.
The meeting began with an officer from each of the groups introducing themselves and the aims, experiences, successes they have had during their lifetimes.
Sir Bill Taylor, former Blackburn with Darwen council leader, said: "The group has the support of all three local MPs, Blackburn Council Leader Cllr Kate Hollern and Ewood councillor, Cllr Maureen Bateson.
"Both the Mayor and Deputy Mayor are supportive of the group's intentions. Graham Jones MP was in attendance.
"The aim of Blackburn United is not to impinge upon the work of any of these hard working groups but to work alongside them all to coordinate all their efforts.
"As individuals Rovers fans are comparatively powerless compared to the wealth and strength of the current regime running the club.
"Our strength is in the depth of our passion and commitment towards what we hold preciously and dearly.
"We only wished that Venky's would simply talk and listen to us in a mutually respectful manner.
"With some of the groups having major events imminent – the launch of Blackburn Rovers Supporters Investment Trust in King George's Hall (today at 10am) and the various meetings that the Blackburn Rovers Action Group have with the Premier League, Football League and government ministers – it was agreed to meet again after these successes to get reports back."
Any other groups can join or contact Blackburn United by emailing sirbilltaylor@ btinternet.com.

Selling out the Barclays Center is good news for Jay-Z but not necessarily for local Brooklynites. They say crossing the intersection of Atlantic Avenue and Flatbush Avenue is already dangerous on foot and can take 20 minutes in a car.
"It's just going to be a nightmare because cars are going to be bottled up," says resident Julia Pacetti. "There are no really good sidewalks in that area to speak of. They are very narrow. I just don't think the roads and the sidewalks are going to be able to accommodate the cars and the people."
Greg Yerman, on the other hand, says he's happy to accommodate the new crowds. As the owner of two restaurants on Flatbush Avenue, he expects that an influx of 18,000 people will spice up business.
"If we can get even a small percentage of those butts in our seats, it would be a significant coup for us," he said.
He's not the only one looking to score. Commercial realtor Geoffrey Bailey says some big-name restauranteurs are interested in leasing or buying spaces along Flatbush Avenue. The Triangle Sports building, for instance, received 50 offers before closing. Its new usage will likely be food-related.
While restaurant and bar owners prepare to cash in, other small business owners fear the new economic climate could force them to move out.
Their problem is that as the arena went up, so have the rental rates.
"Rental rates just about a year ago were in the $75, $80-a-foot range and we're now seeing rents approach $200 a foot in the immediate vicinity to the stadium," Bailey says.
For Reginald Dumornay, that may mean relocating his salon after 13 years.
"I've seen small business pushed out because of the price that's coming to the neighborhood because of the stadium," he says. "For a small business like me, I can't afford to pay $10,000 rent. I just don't make that kind of money.
As opening day approaches, FRC has been looking for ways to do some cross-promotion with local businesses.
"Really, to say to the people coming to the arena, 'We want you to get out in the neighborhood, go to restaurants, bars, shop in stores, spend money out there,'" says Carlo Scissura, the president and CEO of the Brooklyn Chamber of Commerce.
Beyond that, local entreprenuers say it's up to them to find a way to capture some of the anticipated traffic if they plan to stay in the game.
"The challenge for us is to be imaginative and creative and find ways that we can take advantage of it and also serve the people of the neighborhood that are coming for the events at the Barclays arena," said Christian Whitted, the owner of New York Chess and Games.

Professor Neville Norman (Pembroke 1970) I came up to 'read' for a PhD in Economics (Pembroke) from Australia in 1970. I made friends with fellow ahtletes John Ellicock (Engineering, Emma, 1968, fellow high-jumper) and Ben Bolton-Maggs (Medicine, Corpus, 1968) which have endured for more than four decades. This is both pleasant and enduring and comes from sports that oprthopaedic interventions have stopped long ago. We had 2/4 children in Cambridge and retain a house there. I remain a 'technical coach' to current high-jumpers in Cambridge, often by email! (I took Full Blues in 1971-3) and juggle academic connections in both Melbourne and Cambridge, remaining immensely proud to live in the world's most liveable city and the UK's most liveable town.

fields_for(record_or_name_or_array, *args, &block)
Creates a scope around a specific model object like form_for, but doesn't create the form tags themselves. This makes fields_for suitable for specifying additional model objects in the same form:
<% form_for @person, :url => { :action => "update" } do |person_form| %> First name: <%= person_form.text_field :first_name %> Last name : <%= person_form.text_field :last_name %> <% fields_for @person.permission do |permission_fields| %> Admin? : <%= permission_fields.check_box :admin %> <% end %> <% end %>
…or if you have an object that needs to be represented as a different parameter, like a Client that acts as a Person:
<% fields_for :person, @client do |permission_fields| %> Admin?: <%= permission_fields.check_box :admin %> <% end %>
…or if you don't have an object, just a name of the parameter
<% fields_for :person do |permission_fields| %> Admin?: <%= permission_fields.check_box :admin %> <% end %>
Note: This also works for the methods in FormOptionHelper and DateHelper that are designed to work with an object as base, like FormOptionHelper#collection_select and DateHelper#datetime_select.
Setting child_index while using nested attributes mass assignment
When using nested attributes mass assignment sometimes you will want to add new records with javascript. You can do it with pure javascript, but if HTML is long your javascript will be long and messy and it will not be DRY as probably you already have a partial for it.
So to add a partial dynamically you can do something like that (notice string "index_to_replace_with_js"):
def add_object_link(name, form, object, partial, where) options = {:parent => true}.merge(options) html = render(:partial => partial, :locals => { :form => form}, :object => object) link_to_function name, %{ var new_object_id = new Date().getTime() ; var html = jQuery(#{js html}.replace(/index_to_replace_with_js/g, new_object_id)).hide(); html.appendTo(jQuery("#{where}")).slideDown('slow'); } end
js method in one of helpers (from minus mor plugin)
def js(data) if data.respond_to? :to_json data.to_json else data.inspect.to_json end end
This method will generate link adding generated partial to html.
The thing that is not mentioned in docs is how to set child_index. You must add it as an argument in hash.
Example of partial
<% form.fields_for :tasks, task, :child_index => (task.new_record? ? "index_to_replace_with_js" : nil) do |tasks_form| %> <% tasks_form.text_field :name %> <% end %>
Using add_object_link
<% form_for :project do |form| %>
 <%# displaying existing tasks %>
 <%= add_object_link("New task, form, Task.new, "task", "#tasks") %> <% end %>
Thanks to child_index after insertion it will change indexes to current time in miliseconds so added tasks will have different names and ids.
Using fields_for with has_many associations
If you want to edit each element of an array of objects (such as with a has_many type association), you will need to include "[]" in your field parameter name, like so:
<% fields_for "object[]" do |subfield| -%> [...] <% end -%>
Because you named the field parameter "object[]", fields_for will assume you have an instance variable @object to use for the fields' values. To fake this, you can do something like:
<% objects.each do |@object| -%> <% fields_for "object[]" do |subfield| -%> [...] <% end -%> <% end -%>
If that looks like sacrilegious Rails code to you, then you could consider:
<% objects.each do |object| -%> <% fields_for "object[]", object do |subfield| -%> [...] <% end -%> <% end -%>
In either case, params[:object] will be a hash where the ID of each object (determined via ActiveRecord::Base#to_param ) is associated with a hash of its new values:
params = { 'object' => { '123' => { 'field' => 'newval' }, '159' => { 'field' => 'newval' } } }
Setting child_index while using nested attributes mass assignment with prototype
First of all, drogus idea really helped me. I'm not using jQuery, therefore I implemented my own version:
def add_object_link(name, where, render_options) html = render(render_options) link_to_function name, %{ Element.insert('#{where}', #{html.to_json}.replace(/index_to_replace_with_js/g, new Date().getTime())); } end
Using add_object_link
<%= add_object_link 'Add asset', 'assets', :partial => 'assets/asset', :object => Asset.new, :locals => { :f => f } %>
Passing parameters to custom formbuilders
If you implement your own formbuilder, the options passed are available as @options inside your formbuilder. If you want those configuration options passed to all builders in the fields_for sections, use the following code in your form builder:
def fields_for_with_options(record_or_name_or_array, *args, &block) options = args.extract_options! fields_for_without_options(record_or_name_or_array, *(args << options.merge(@options)), &block) end alias_method_chain :fields_for, :options
form_for @my_object, :builder => MyCustomFormbuilder, :some_setting => :cool
Preserve order of elements within fields_for
I had the @colleagues collection prepared that I wanted to be rendered within fields_for block. However it was searchlogic object with filtering/sorting applied, and the sort order was not preserved in resultant view.
<%= f.fields_for :evaluators, @colleagues do |builder| %> <%= render "colleague", :f => builder %> <% end %>
Solution to this problem was typecasting this collection to array
<%= f.fields_for :evaluators, @colleagues.to_a do |builder| %> <%= render "colleague", :f => builder %> <% end %>
JQuery script for dynamically adding and removing fields_for
I like drogus idea. But I wanted a cleaner one, so I created an unobtrusive JQuery script to have the same functionality.
Example Usage:
<%= form_for @post do |form| %> Title: <%= form.text_field :title %> Body: <%= form.text_field :body %> Tags:

 <%= form.fields_for :tag, Tag.new, :child_index => "replace_this" do |f| %> <%= f.text_field :name %> <%= f.hidden_field :_destroy, :value => 0, :class => "numerous-remove-field" %> <%= link_to "delete", "#", :class => "numerous-remove" %> <% end %>
 <%= link_to "add tag", "#", :class => "numerous-add", :id => "for-tag-list" %>
 <% end %>

If you do not wish your selected category's related searches to show on your domain, you can choose 'Use Category RS - No' on the Domain Overview page under 'Landing Page Settings'.
Magnifier Preview / ND Sandbox
Optimization tips
Foreign language domains
Bulk Optimization
Allows you to select whether your domain will display 10 targeted ads in the main body of the page or a general multi-themed portal page.
In most cases, it is suggested to use 1-click pages in conjunction with a relevant keyword to ensure that CTR remains as high as possible.
Portals are best-used for domains which have no specific target – e.g. information.com. CTR will generally be higher with a portal page for domains with broad topic areas.
Certain templates have been designed to be used predominantly as templates, so it is suggested you use Portal for these templates. The following templates are Portal templates: Portrait, Box, JSX, JSX 2, Kayak, Boulevard.
Governs the 1-click ads and related searches on your domains
If you select 1-click advertising, choosing a relevant keyword will ensure that 10 relevant ads will appear on the page.
If you select a category for your domain, the top four related searches are set by the category, the keyword you enter will govern the remaining 8 searches.
If you set no keyword for your domain, our advertising provider will deliver ads determined by the domain name itself. This is not a problem if you have a one-word domain such as doctor.com, but our ad provider may struggle to read the domain in the case of DoctorsExchange.com, for example, so it is advisable to set a keyword where possible.
Once you have entered a keyword for your domain, it will be checked by the NameDrive team for validity. It is imperative that you only select keywords relevant to your specific domains.
While the keyword is going through the checking process, the keyword entry box will be coloured yellow. Once the keyword is cleared by NameDrive, it will turn green. If the keyword is declined by NameDrive, the box will turn red. Please choose your keywords with discretion and ask us if you have any queries about your selected keywords.
The best keywords are generally 1 to 4 words long such as 'credit', 'credit card', or 'credit card application', etc... If one word or phrase isn't sufficient, add in another separated by a comma. It's important to note that keywords are used only to determine what ads will appear and do not contribute to search engine optimization.
Determines which header will appear at the top of your parked pages. Click on the header preview to help you select the most relevant header for your domains.
Setting the correct header can have an enormous difference on CTR. Making the page tailored to what the visitor is looking for will greatly encourage page interaction.
Each category has its corresponding header as default. If you are unfamiliar with the headers, it is recommended you view the headers to check they are relevant to your domain.
Determines which template is used for the domain. This affects the way the entire page looks. There are large variety of templates to choose from.
Changing the template can massively increase CTR on a domain and it is recommended you try several different templates for your domains as each domain performs differently with specific templates. We encourage you to use the Magnifier Preview to see how each template affects your domains. The templates can be sorted into various categories which are outlined below:
Header templates
Looks- These templates are designed with NameDrive's large collection of targeted headers in mind. These templates are particularly suited to generic terms which can be easily categorized and have a matching header.
When using one of these templates, the header is selected by either setting a category (all of which have a default, targeted header), or by choosing a header from the 'Header' dropdown. The header templates are: Classic, Classic 2, Canvas, Canvas 2, No RS.
No Image templates This is a no-frills look which suits US traffic in particular. The templates are generally all about getting the links on the page rather than targeted them visually to the users. The No Image templates are: Basic 1&2, Simple, Spring, Box, .mobi.
Category Image templates - These templates have a large dependence on images set when you set a category for your domain. Each category has a specific image associated with it which will be shown on the landing page. In some cases, these templates have up to 5 images on the page related to your selected category. These are visually imposing templates to draw the user in. The Category Image templates are: Kayak, Boulevard, Marquee 2, JSX 2.
Generic Image templates - These templates are image driven, but are suitable for hard-to-categorize domains, showing some generic images rather than images targeted to any category chosen. The Generic Image templates are: Marquee, JSX, Portrait
Sector Specific templates - These templates are dedicated to one specific niche rather than being suitable for all categories. The template names suggest which sectors are best served by them. The Sector Specific templates are: Electronics, Finance, Business, Internet, Real Estate, MP3, Travel
Adult templates - These templates are suitable for domains of an adult nature. Contrary to what we see several clients doing, setting adult templates on non-adult domains does not encourage people to interact with the page more! In fact, it generally has a detrimental effect on CTR.
Sets a contact link in the top right of your parked domains, allowing internet users to contact you about a possible purchase of the domain.
There are three settings for this variable - Yes, Contact and No. If you are looking to sell your domains, you can massively increase your chances by setting your domains to Yes.
This will place a link on your domains saying 'Enquire about this domain'. Every visitor to your domains then becomes a potential buyer as they can make a bid directly through your domain. Visitors are taken from the link to a standard NameDrive offer page where visitors can make an offer directly to you. If the domain is listed on NDX Market, the offer will be submitted to you via the NDX Market system. You will be informed by mail when you have a pending offer.
If you set the domain to 'Contact', the interested party will be taken to a basic contact form where they can direct you directly by email.
When you click on the magnifying glass next to the keyword input box, you enter the magnifier preview. This allows you to preview any settings you make to your page across all major languages in the world.
You can either make the changes to your domain settings before you click on the magnifying glass or you can click on the magnifying glass and make the changes by clicking 'customize preview' at the top of the page and saving your changes when you close the preview.
To see how your newly-optimized page will look to users, click the 'Refresh' button.
To save your changes, click the 'Save' button.
As well as the standard optimization tools listed above, you also have a 'Country' dropdown menu. This is a preview menu only, it is not a settings menu. It will show you how your page will look in the country you choose. NameDrive has landing pages in every major world language and has Geo-Targeted ads. This means that the landing page will appear in the correct language for all major languages in the world according to the viewer's IP address. We will deliver advertising from our advertising partner in any country for which they return ads in that country. If you have a domain with a theme which is the same around the world (e.g. "Internet"), our ad provider will return advertising for Internet in the language of the page viewer, it is not necessary to set a keyword in different languages.
The default language for the magnifier preview is the country where the NameDrive user is located. For example, if you are in the US, the default country will be 'United States'. If you are in the UK, your default country will be United Kingdom.
When you click 'save' on the magnifier preview, be sure to click 'save changes' at the bottom of your settings page as well to ensure the changes take effect.
Here are some quick tips to help you through domain optimization:
Obviously, we feel it is best if you optimize all your domains as thoroughly as possible but we also realize that portfolio owners with a large number of names may not have the time or the inclination to put hours into optimizing domains with few hits per month.
At the very least, we suggest you set a relevant category for your domain. We have found that this can even be more effective than just setting a relevant keyword as our advertising partner is capable of setting their own keyword from the domain name. Setting a relevant category will add four related searches to your domain which often prove a good source of revenue.
- We will gladly 'fix' 12 related searches on your domains should you wish to hand-pick the most relevant 12 searches on each domain. Just email us at email@example.com with your desired 12 related searches and we will put them on the page for you.
- The most powerful optimization tools can be found on the Domain Overview page. Here, you can set keywords for every country in the world as well as set various other parameters for your domains. You can find out more by visiting Domain Settings.
- In the settings area, you can see your domains sorted by the number of views they receive. This enables you to see easily if any of your domains are being viewed often but have a low CTR. It is highly recommended that you check your domains regularly and optimize any domains with significant traffic to ensure you achieve the most from your domains.
- It is generally accepted that 15-20% is a CTR with which you can be satisfied. If a domain is performing lower than this, it is a good idea to try and optimize it differently, be it a different template, a new keyword or a new header.
- When choosing a keyword for your domain, be sure to aim for relevancy rather than click price. Setting a keyword for a domain because it is said to have a high click-price is not only against our terms and conditions, it is also counter intuitive as you will receive far fewer clicks than on a domain with a correct keyword. In addition, our ad provider will see that the keyword is not converting well and will pay the keyword out at a lower price.
NameDrive has landing pages in every major world language and we work with the world's Number One advertising partner, meaning your pages will look perfectly-targeted to users around the world for almost limitless keywords across millions of terms.
The ads that appear on our pages are generated automatically by our ad provider to match the visitors' region. So, if your keyword is an international term, such as 'Internet', viewers in different regions of the world will see ads relevant to their country. Even visitors in the UK, USA and Australia would see relevant advertising for their specific English-speaking area. Viewing a page from your own country's IP will show you advertising for your country. Bear in mind people in your target country will see ads pertinent to them.
Although NameDrive offers you the option to set optimization for every country in the world, this is not necessary in the majority of cases. In most cases, setting a keyword for "All regions" will be sufficient. However, if you have traffic from several countries on one domain and you can see that the traffic from that region is not performing well, it is worth looking at optimizing that specific country
You can also set keywords for English / French / Spanish speaking countries. Again, this is generally not necessary unless you have significant traffic from those countries.
If you have keywords set for various regions and countries, the system works as follows:
All regions - These settings will be used for all countries where there are no specific settings.
Language groups - These settings will be used in all major countries speaking these languages. For these countries, it will override the settings for 'All regions'.
Specific country - These settings are 'dominant' and will be used in this specific country. It will override settings for All regions and any language groups selected.
Setting a category for your domain sets relevant searches on the page for the following languages: English, Spanish, French, German, Italian, Polish, Dutch, Swedish, Japanese, Russian, Arabic, Greek and Bulgarian. If the majority of your traffic is coming from a country not in this list, the searches will appear in English, so it may be better not to set a category, or to set the 'Use Category RS' setting to 'No'.
NameDrive provides you the opportunity to use folders, not only to order your domains, but also to be able to update large numbers of domains in short periods of time. With this system, you can make changes to 1000's of domains at the touch of a button.
You can carry out bulk optimization in two areas: The Portfolio Optimization page and the Folder Optimization page.
To access the Portfolio Optimization page, simply click 'Optimization' on the left navigation menu when you log into your account. This takes you to a page where you can see all the folders in your account. Simply change any of the parameters you like next to the relevant folder and click 'Save Changes'. A warning window will appear. Simply click 'OK' to make the changes to all domains in that folder.
To access the Folder Optimization page, click on one of your folders displayed on the Portfolio Optimization page. Alternatively, click the small 'Optimization' link under the folder name when viewing your statistics on a folder level. To bulk change all domains in that folder, simply use the check box next to the parameter you wish to change, make the necessary alterations and click 'Save Changes'. Again, the warning window will appear. Click 'OK' to change all domains in that folder.
It is well-known that some keywords are higher-paying than others, with Finance and Healthcare being two well-cited areas for high paying advertising. If you'd like to know which keywords work with your specific domains, we are happy to tell you which keywords perform well on the ND system. However, it is vital that optimization is done for relevancy rather than the click prices of individual keywords. If you set irrelevant, high-paying keywords for your domains, they will be rejected by the ND Keyword review team.
Some templates do not support headers, so no header can be selected. You can find out which templates support headers by looking at the Templates section of the Optimization Guide.
Portal pages are best used for domains which have no specific target – e.g. information.com. CTR will generally be higher with a portal page for domains with broad topic areas.
You can find out which templates are designed with portals in mind in the Templates section of the Optimization guide. It is suggested you use the Portal option as these pages are designed with portals in mind.
If you set no category or keyword (i.e simply list the domain with NameDrive), your domain will start out with 12 'standard', popular, searches (such as 'cheap flights', 'jobs' etc.)
If you select a category or a category + subcategory, this will set four highly-searched, strong PPC, relevant links as the first 4 related searches. The further 8 will be the top 8 'standard' searches.
If you select categories and input a keyword, the remaining 8 related searches after the four category-generated searches will be generated by the keyword.
When users click one of the searches on your domain or search for something in the search box, these are placed on the list of related searches. The more searched / clicked the term is, the higher it appears on the list.
Any of these user searches which are unwanted can be removed by using the check boxes next to each term on the Domain Settings page.
Related searches which appear on your domain but not in the list on the Domain Settings page can be changed either by selecting a new category or inputting a new keyword.

No charges will be filed against a man who shot and killed two men who entered his Bennington home last week.
According to Bryan County Sheriff Ken Golden, Rodney Steven Andrews, 55, acted in self defense when he shot Gary Michael Robison, 66, and Bradley Wayne Rader, 35.
The shootings happened Thursday afternoon at a home on Highway 70 east of Bennington. According to the sheriff's office a woman said she had been assaulted earlier in that day by Andrews, and later, Robison, Rader and a juvenile went to the house to confront Andrews.
Deputies said Andrews shot Robison and Rader after they entered the home. Robison died at the the scene and Rader was pronounced dead at the hospital. The juvenile was not injured.
According to Golden, the investigation revealed that the incident was a "home invasion." No weapons were reported to have been used by the men, although a Mauser rifle and a small bludgeon were found inside a red truck, according to an affidavit.
Andrews, however, was charged with manufacturing methamphetamine and unlawful use of a police radio. Deputies said two methamphetamine labs were found at the home. Andrews remains in jail on $100,000 bond.
In other crimes, Michael Linn Conner, 25, and Mattie Rhea Conner, 22 , Durant, have been charged with possessing methamphetamine and marijuana with intent to distribute. They were arrested last week at a home in the 1400 block of West Arkansas Street following an investigation by the Durant Police Department and the Bryan County District Attorney's Drug Task Force. They also were charged with felony child neglect because a child at the home was exposed to child activity, court papers state.

When Homophobia Trumps Misogyny

Charles Hayes: What 42 makes crystal clear is how shallow and superficial the strain of contempt is that enables and sustains racism as prejudice is handed down from one generation to the next.
Robinson Jeffers: America's Neglected-At-Our-Peril Poet-Prophet
Gary Corseri: Jeffers gaze was not so much bitter as it was unflinching, steady, resolute and sui generis. "The cold passion for truth," he wrote, "hunts in no pack."

This June of 1141, the feast of the translation of St. Winifred dawns upon a time when the civil war between the Empress Maud and King Stephen for the throne of England may finally draw to a close: Stephen was captured at the battle of Lincoln, and even now Maud is negotiating with the city of London for her entry into Westminster for her coronation. The papal legate, Bishop Henry of Blois, brother to Stephen, has called a legatine council (including Abbot Radulfus from Shrewsbury) and is working on turning his allegiance to the empress, for the sake of peace. Hugh, sheriff of Shropshire for Stephen, broods on ways and means of getting a man into Bristol to free Stephen, and prays for a miracle, while using his friend Brother Cadfael as a sounding board.
Cadfael, too, is praying for a miracle - any miracle - at this feast of St. Winifred. Not from a desire for the abbey's glory, or from any faltering of his own faith, but as a sign that the saint took no offense from the events of _A Morbid Taste for Bones_, when he accompanied a delegation from the abbey to the saint's grave in Wales to bring back her mortal remains as holy relics. (Since that was before Hugh's arrival in Shrewsbury, Cadfael summarizes the story for him, so it's possible to follow the plot of _Pilgrim_ without reading _Bones_. But be warned that Cadfael reveals the ending of _Bones_ to Hugh.)
Abbot Radulfus returns in time for the festival, bearing word of a cowardly murder at the legatine council. The attempted murder of the envoy of Stephen's queen failed, but Ranulf Bossard, the brave man of the empress' party who foiled the attempt, was himself cut down in the street.
All the brothers are busily preparing for the huge influx of pilgrims at this time of year, many of whom are ill and seeking miraculous healing. Brother Cadfael, as herbalist, sees some of the more noteworthy cases: Rhun, a devout half-Welsh boy with a twisted leg that might respond to treatment; his sister, Melangell; a young Welsh clark, Ciaran, traveling barefoot and wearing a large iron cross, on his way to Wales to die; Matthew, Ciaran's faithful shadow. There are less savory characters, as well, petty (and not so petty) career criminals who prey on the credulous and the frail. (Credulous, as in, people who trust a stranger's dice.) Some may even have fled from a city too hot to hold them.
Into this festival atmosphere rides a young envoy of the empress' party, on a twofold mission: to sound out Hugh on the question of his fealty, and to seek Bossard's young heir, who disappeared in this direction after his lord's death. But even if he is among the pilgrims, how can he be identified by those who have never seen him? And was he involved in Bossard's death?
This is the tenth mystery in the series. Read more

Comment posted Argyll First endorse Michael Breslin in Dunoon vote by Dave McEwan Hill.
As the entertaining sage Oliver brown once pointed out "The value of a man of straw is that he shows which way the wind is blowing"
Fot the last couple of decades this has obviously been the watchword of the LibDems who, unburdened by any principles or evident policies, unashamedly always followed the latest trend to court popularity.
When in Argyll and Bute will they wake up to the fact that their recent self-serving association with Dick Walsh was disastrous to them?
Dave McEwan Hill also commented
- I'm afraid the record of independent run councils would suggest that no sensible person could support them.
The are usually aimless, lack strategy and direction, have no overall ambition or targets and are incapable of delivering any disciplined course of action.
They also operate in a vacuum without proper scrutiny and, unlike in a political run council, take no individual responsibily for anything when things go tits up.
You can vote out a political party en masse if their policies are wrong. How do you vote out a group of gormless independents?
They almost always find themseves controlled by a couple of strong willed characters and find themselves pushed about by the hired officials most of the time.
Just like Argyll and Bute in recent times!
In short independent run councils are a nightmare. - "News that Conservative and Unionist Councillor Donald Kelly is endorsing a SNP candidate , having earlier in the week propelled the SNP into administration in Argyll and Bute will result in his long overdue expulsion from the Party "
It would be akin to being expelled from the gas chamber or death row
- "or staff's emails"
Hits the spot!
- Michael Breslin is indeed a first class candidate.
The problem is they will also elect two others in Dunoon
Recent comments by Dave McEwan Hill
- First Minister's call for 'grown up politics' countered by order – from the top
"Dave Hill taking the minute – LOL!"I know. I know. What a hoot.
Having been a graduate teacher or a lecturer for a lot of my working like and even a College Principal for soome of it I'm probably best described as functionally illiterate - First Minister's call for 'grown up politics' countered by order – from the top
For Argyll's report of the SNP's latest constituency meeting is almost complete fiction.
I took the minute of it.
There is nothing which stops For Argyll checking, from entirely reliable sources, the accuracy of reports it seems to be in receipt of.
This is not done I suspect because there is no intention of accurately reporting the SNP or Michael Russell. - SNP Argyll meltdown: the band plays on
Dave three names (for it is he) only contributes to this site now to point out howlers. - SNP Argyll meltdown: the band plays on
Just to reiterate neither Gordon Blair nor Robert MacIntyre have resigned from any SNP group on any council. They have refused to sign up with a grouping which SNP HQ does not allow them to join. The fact that others are ignoring SNP instructions to do so means that Blair and MacIntyre are the ones in the correct position. - SNP Argyll meltdown: the band plays on
I wonder where For Argyll gets its malicious misinformation.
No formal permission to form a coalition was sought by Cllrs MacIntyre and Blair.
A proposal to form a coalition with a group which did not contain school closers, did not contain care home closers and did not contain people diametrically opposed to the SNP's central aim was presented as an opportunity to the rest of the SNP group by Cllrs MacIntyre and Blair but was not taken up by the others.
Cllrs MacIntyre and Blair have reiterated on every occasion their loyalty to the SNP, in very direct contrast to others who have defied party orders and publicly stated that they would accept no "outside" interference

From Karaköy (over Galata Bridge from Eminönü) to Kadıköy. On the other side walk around and check out the restaurants if you have time, before hopping on the return ferry.
From Eminönü to Üsküdar is a shorter trip. Restaurants and cafes beckon here too, as does the waterside promenade beside Maiden's Tower (Kız Kulesı), a pleasant summer walk.

Diabetes is a chronic disease caused by lack of insulin production by the pancreas. The lack of insulin causes high blood sugar and clinical signs such as increased thirst, appetite, weight loss, cataracts, depression, and lethargy. Treatment for most patients includes daily shots of insulin, a special diet, and frequent monitoring.
- Insulin must be stored in the refrigerator at all times.
- Insulin can only be stored for 3-6 months after opening. Insulin kept longer than this amount of time is less potent and should be discarded. Please write the date you opened the insulin vial on the vial itself to avoid confusion.
- Your pet will be prescribed a certain number of units of a specific insulin twice daily, to be given as close to 12 hours apart as possible. You will also be prescribed a specific insulin syringe with which to give the insulin to your pet. Do not use any other types of syringe.
- Do not reuse insulin syringes as this can cause contamination and bacterial growth in the insulin vial. This will also dull the needle and cause discomfort when injecting insulin.
- Dispose used insulin syringes by placing them in a sealed container such as an empty milk carton or jar before throwing them away.
How to administer insulin:
- Feed your pet its normal meal portion. If the pet is not eating, administer only half its normal insulin dose.
- Mix the insulin by gently rolling the vial in your hands. Do not shake the bottle, as this will damage the molecules. Make sure any white material is mixed properly before administration.
- Rotate to a different location for insulin injection every few days. Changing the location prevents scar tissue formation and decreased absorption.
- Administer the insulin as instructed.
- If you are unsure whether the insulin was administered properly, do not repeat the injection as this may cause signs of low blood sugar. If there is a possibility the insulin was already administered, do not administer another dose of insulin.
- Monitor for increased thirst, urine output, and appetite. If the dose of insulin is appropriate, these signs should improve. Recurrence of these signs in a previously well-regulated patient may indicate a problem with the insulin dose; contact your veterinarian if these signs recur.
- KetoDiastix
- Use the Ketodiastix at home to measure the urine glucose and ketone levels at least once weekly. When first starting to give insulin or for the week immediately after a change in insulin dose, monitor this once daily.
- Glucose
- Glucose levels should read between 100 mg/dL – 250 mg/dL as a well-regulated diabetic always has a little bit of sugar in the urine.
- If the reading is negative, the insulin dose may be too high. If the read is 500 mg/dL or greater there may be a problem with the insulin administration or the patient may not be getting the right amount of insulin. In either of these two cases, please call you veterinarian for further instruction.
- Positive ketones are always abnormal. Please call your veterinarian if you see a positive reading.
- Blood glucose curves are required to find tune the insulin dose and achieve the best possible regulation. A curve is usually performed over 12-24 hours in the hospital.
- Bi-annual visits, blood work, and blood pressure checks are required for diabetics to screen for early signs of complications of diabetes even in well-regulated patients. Diabetic patients are immune-compromised and are at increased risk for infections. If you notice signs of illness such as vomiting, lethargy, or inappetence, please contact your veterinarian.
Low Blood Sugar
- If too much insulin has been administered, your pet may show signs of low blood sugar such as tremors, lethargy, drooling, or seizure activity. If you think your pet may have low blood sugar, offer it food immediately. If your pet is not interested in food or unable to eat, call your veterinarian to the appropriate amount of Karo syrup or honey to give orally to increase the blood sugar and determine if your pet needs to be seen immediately.
- If your pet has had a full seizure, give your pet Karo syrup or honey and seek emergency veterinary care.
- Do not give any more insulin if you think your pet has low blood sugar and call your veterinarian as soon as possible.
- Feed your pet twice daily immediately before administering insulin. This allows you to monitor for appetite and adjust dosages accordingly. Decreased appetite can also be an early sign of illness.
- Diabetics must eat a high protein, low carbohydrate diet. Canned foods are ideal because they usually contain fewer carbohydrates than the dry formula. Several prescription diets are formulated specifically for diabetic patients including:
- Hill's M/D for felines, Hill's W/D for dogs
- Royal Canin Diabetic – canine and feline formulas
- Iams® Veterinary Formulas Weight Control D – Optimum Weight Control™
- canine and feline formulas

Entering Wednesday, Simmons had played 680 innings in his major league career and the Baseball Info Solutions (BIS) numbers have him with 30 defensive runs saved. He had 19 in 426 innings last season and already has a major-league best 11 in 254 innings in 2013.
For a little perspective, that's an incredible number for what amounts to less than half a season's worth of play. No shortstop has had 30 defensive runs saved in a full season since Troy Tulowitzki had 31 in 2007.

Ohio Really Dislikes The New Governor And Republican Legislature
A new PPP poll has Ohio Governor John Kasich tying Florida Governor Rick Scott at a race to the bottom of approval ratings.
Do you approve or disapprove of Governor John Kasich's job performance? | |
Approve | 33% |
Disapprove | 56% |
Not sure | 11% |
PPP also asked about a hypothetical do-over of last year's election and found that if done over, Ted Strickland would have won hands-down.
If you could do last fall's election for Governor over again, would you vote for Democrat Ted Strickland or Republican John Kasich? | |
Ted Strickland | 59% |
John Kasich | 34% |
Not sure | 7% |
So what is driving Kasich so low in the polls? Well it turns out the Republican agenda is not very popular in Ohio. SB5 is one issue that has Ohio voters experiencing buyer remorse:
Ohio may have a referendum on repealing Senate Bill 5, which was passed earlier this year and limits collective bargaining rights for public employees. Would you vote to repeal Senate Bill 5, or would you vote to let the law stand? | |
Would vote to repeal SB5 | 55% |
Would vote to let the law stand | 35% |
Not sure | 10% |
The generic congressional ballot also looks very good for Democrats in the Buckeye State:

OK, with a show of hands, how many of you have a fantasy that includes an amazing cushy bed, Jacuzzi, a little vino, and the softest bath robe you've ever felt? Yeah, I thought so.

YOu sure did get that for a good price but I'm not too sure on it being very rare. Then again it's not like I've been on the look out for it either.
