Is there any institution of higher learning that isn't gaming the system to gain athletic advantage? I've come to believe the answer is no.
Harvard? Last year, before announcing that the university had uncovered widespread cheating, a Harvard administrator sent an e-mail to the university's resident deans, saying that potentially culpable athletes might withdraw from school temporarily. That way, the cheating scandal wouldn't cost them eligibility.
On the other side of the country, the University of California, Davis, had long kept athletics in perspective — until 2007, when it inexplicably joined the big boys in Division I. Vowing not to cut any "minor" sports, it did just that as athletic expenses soared. Promising not to lower standards, it abandoned that vow, too. After the U.C. Davis faculty athletic representative refused to support the application of "a talented basketball player with a questionable academic background," she was removed from that position, according to a report by the Investigative Reporting Program at the University of California, Berkeley. The basketball player was admitted.
Which brings us to today's subject: the military academies. Incredibly, even the Naval Academy, the Air Force Academy and West Point, charged with training the next generation of military leaders, systematically abandon their standards and admissions processes when a good athlete is within reach. Their highly questionable enrollment practices make one wonder whether the academies care as much about their mission these days as they do about winning football games.
There are two ways the military academies sneak in athletes who fail to meet their admissions standards. First, they all operate prep schools whose original purpose — preparing promising enlisted personnel for the rigors of an academy education — is long outdated.
Instead, the prep schools, which cost taxpayers around $25 million or so per year, are used for other purposes, including "redshirting" athletes — that is, stockpiling them for a year — when their high school records would prevent them from being admitted directly from high school. For instance, of the 300 students in the 2011 class of the Naval Academy Prep School, 110 are recruited athletes — typical for the other service academies. Oh, and they get paid a monthly stipend — which would seem to be a rather blatant violation of N.C.A.A. rules.
When I talked to academy officials, they pooh-poohed the idea that the prep school was a place to sneak athletes in through the back door. Because athletics are so important, said a public affairs officer, "we consider every midshipman to be an athlete."
But the statistics tell a different story. Nearly 80 percent of the 52-member Navy lacrosse team came through the Naval Academy Prep School; for returning football lettermen, the percentage is around two-thirds.
Meanwhile, West Point recently built a new $107 million campus for its prep school. An aerial shot of the new campus on the Military Academy Prep School Web site highlights its dominant feature: acres of lush athletic fields.
The second scam involves the nonprofit foundations that exist to give financial support to the service academies. Among other things, the foundations offer scholarships to athletes to go to certain prep schools that stress certain sports — with the proviso, of course, that they then attend whichever service academy the boosters are supporting. (In 2010, when a Naval Academy athlete who had gotten in via the foundation route tried to withdraw, saying "this isn't the place for me," the foundation demanded the return of his prep school "scholarship" money.)
Although Ed Wallace, a retired Navy captain who runs the Naval Academy foundation's "athletic and scholarship programs," denied that it directed athletes to certain schools — or that it singled out recruited athletes for financial support — a document outlining this contractual obligation is on the Naval Academy Foundation's Web site. Or rather, it was. It was removed in 2012, when the N.C.A.A. began an investigation into the practices of the prep schools and the foundations. (Despite some pretty obvious violations of its rules, the N.C.A.A. dropped the investigation last year.)
Of course, these practices are troubling for reasons that go far beyond the N.C.A.A. Is it really appropriate for our military academies to favor recruited athletes over more qualified candidates? Surely there's a lot more at stake when the academies lower their admissions standards than when, say, Auburn does.
There is also the sequester. The Navy right now is in the process of canceling deployments, grounding airplanes and deferring ship maintenance. The civilian faculty members at the Naval Academy have been told that they will have to take a 14-day furlough sometime before the end of the semester. But I don't see anyone suggesting cutting back on the prep school or the athletic teams.
Of course not. After all, Navy is joining the Big East in 2015.

Although the Chestnut Hill Academy golf team didn't quite manage to pull out a victory last Tuesday in the final match on its schedule, the Blue Devils still ended their season on an upnote.
Playing at Waynesborough Country Club, where host Malvern Prep is always tough to beat, the Devils came within three strokes of the Friars, falling 240-243 on the nine-hole, par-35 circuit. That score, along with an identical figure at the Merion West course in their previous outing, was the Devils' best of the 2011 spring campaign.
"We improved over the course of the year, and I was happy to finish off the season playing that well," said first-year CHA skipper Francis Vaughn, the former longtime coach at the University of Pennsylvania.
CHA had graduated a lot of talent in the three years leading up to 2011, and although there were six seniors on the roster, only four of them were full-time varsity performers last year. The Devils closed out the season with a 2-8 record in the Inter-Ac League, splitting home/away bouts with Germantown Academy and Penn Charter.
In last week's finale against Malvern, a season personal best was posted by senior Quint Frazier, who led the team with a 38, one stroke ahead of classmate John McNiff.
Fellow upperclassmen Jack Maine and Jack Russell each carded a 40, and the other official scorers were junior Nick McNiff, with a 41, and freshman Jack Grasso, with a 42. Junior John Hass came around in 43 strokes, and senior Ted Dalglish scored a 45. The best round of the match was a 36 by Malvern's Mike Davis.
"I think the improvements this year were piece-by-piece, if you will," Vaughn noted. "I tried to get them to work on three facets of the game; physical conditioning, the mental aspects, and then the biomechanics of their swing. In that last area, the main components would be driving the ball well, chipping, short game, and bunker play, and putting.
"We also worked on course management," he continued, "having them play within their strengths. We weren't a very good putting team at the beginning of the season, and I think that's improved significantly. We've cut down considerably on the three-putts."
While a number of players will be lost to graduation, others will be moving up from the successful JV squad, which only lost one match this season.
"The major development," Vaughn pointed out, "is that our golf season is moving to the fall. From what I understand, we'll probably pick up some athletes who play other sports in the spring."
It will also make it easier for CHA and the other Inter-Ac teams to schedule non-league matches, since most schools – including all members of the PIAA – offer golf as a fall sport.

Theres also an item shop that holds some goodies for the characters as well. There are a few apparel items that you can stick on the characters that will make fans of certain looks for the characters happy. The item shop is, of course, run by King Julien in all his comedic lemur fashion. I wish there was more to the item shop, but it serves its purpose in the end.
Graphically, Madagascar: Escape 2 Africa blew me away. I was half expecting the traditional thrown together graphics we are usually treated with movie-themed games. Thankfully, I was surprised. The definition in the characters matched very nicely to the cinematic counterparts. While not perfect, there was a stronger resemblance to the full on character models from the film than the first title; the environments are equally colorful and wonderfully rendered. However, I do have to point out that in some cases the landscape is flat and bland and could have used a little more use of the color wheel, but this is supposed to be Africa after all. There was a small issue with lag, especially when racing as Marty, but nothing too distracting from the game.
An animated movie without the original voice actors reprising their roles for the game usually hurts in the long run. However, there are some great impersonators that make it difficult to discern them from the actual voice actors. Alex is probably the worst though; the voice actor tries to be Ben Stiller to no avail. Other than those few annoyances with the voice acting, they all do a decent enough job. The music is very catchy and makes you immediately think of the film, which is good considering it is supposed to be about the movie.
There are, of course, issues with the title, but they are so small that it wont matter to the player it is designed for. Heck, even those that are an older audience will have a hard time faulting the game, for its presentation and scope of gameplay are quite nice. As a general rule, movie-based games have been surprising me a lot lately with actually paying attention to what makes the films enjoyable and allowing the player to have fun as well. Madagascar: Escape 2 Africa is a perfect example of a game that is designed for kids and plays nicely for the adults that love the film franchise. Could Madagascar: Escape 2 Africa change the way these types of games are handled in development? I certainly hope so, as long as they get the original voice actors in future titles.

MBT stands for Masai Barefoot Technology. The company that makes MBT Shoes (also known as the anti-shoe) is Swiss Masai. The uniquely-designed, multi-layered, cured sole is designed to simulate walking in sand (similar to the natural walking environment of the Masai in Kenya). This creates a natural, uneven walking surface and forces the body to use all the major and stabilsing muscle groups, thus training the whole body to move correctly.

The Government of the Republic of Azerbaijan has officially announced its decision to join IUCN and has designated the Ministry of Ecology and Natural Resources of Azerbaijan as its liaison with the IUCN Secretariat.
Dubbed 'The Land of Fire', Azerbaijan is the largest country in the Caucasus located on the shores of the Caspian Sea. Its unique strategic location, connecting Europe, Central and Eastern Asia, has for centuries been a meeting point and the way from and to the two continents.
"IUCN extends its warmest welcome to the Republic of Azerbaijan as the newest State Member of our Union. We hope that this will enable us to further strengthen IUCN's presence and work in the Caucasus, which is recognized as one of the global biodiversity 'hotspots'. We look forward to engaging with the Government of Azerbaijan as well as its civil society in promoting region-wide cooperation towards conservation of nature and natural resources," said IUCN Director General Julia Marton-Lefèvre, who visited Azerbaijan earlier this month.
"Azerbaijan, with its rich and diverse biological resources, looks forward to effective cooperation with IUCN, particularly on effective planning and management of protected areas, including World Heritage sites, development of sustainable conservation strategies and promoting nature conservation activities among various social groups," noted Huseyngulu Seyid oglu Baghirov, Minister of Ecology and Natural Resources of Azerbaijan.
As part of its ongoing social and economic reforms, Azerbaijan puts priority on nature conservation, sustainable use of natural resources, and securing a healthy environment for its population.
Thanks to its diverse landscape, which includes nine out of 11 known climatic zones, Azerbaijan boasts rich biodiversity, including 97 species of mammals, 357 species of birds, 67 species of reptiles and amphibians, 97 species of fish, and 240 endemic plant species. In 2013, Azerbaijan published the second edition of its national Red List of Threatened Species, known as the 'Red Book of Azerbaijan'.
Some of the globally threatened species found in Azerbaijan have benefited from conservation projects, including a reintroduction of 130 gazelles back into their historical habitats in the Caucasus, and recent efforts to save the critically endangered Caucasus leopard, both of which are supported by the Heydar Aliyev Foundation and IDEA (International Dialogue for Environmental Action) campaign.
Azerbaijan fulfills its obligations under 21 international environmental conventions, including the Convention on Biological Diversity. In line with its international commitments, Azerbaijan has recently doubled its protected areas coverage - from 478 thousand ha to 893 thousand ha. At present, Azerbaijan has nine national parks, 11 nature reserves and 24 sanctuaries covering 10.3% of the country.
Azerbaijan currently has one other NGO IUCN Member, the Azerbaijan Ornithological Society, which has a strong track record of activities and involvement with IUCN.
IUCN has been present in the Caucasus since the mid-1990s. The Union's role is currently focused on supporting Members to develop and implement a conservation strategy for the region's biodiversity.

Yep we are a school and shop, we do sell kites that we use but we only sell them because we use them, the school comes first when choosing the most suitable product. That is why we have tested everything on the market to find the best kites out there, for learning and easy re-launch there is nothing better than the Airush DNA/ Lithium. We also stock many other brands and also use them in the school but for the question that has been asked about easy re-launch, the Lithium is the winner.edt wrote:if you are a school dont you want to teach whatever kites you sell? You dont want to teach kids on a kite you dont stock.
But as has been stated by many others, all delta kites pop up off the water easily but some are just not as stable at the edge of the wind when bringing it all the way round and stall more easily.

Cate Blanchett, Joaquin Phoenix, Amy Adams and Michelle Williams were among the stars who turned out to remember Philip Seymour Hoffman at a wake in New York City on Thursday evening.
The actor was found dead at his home in the city on Sunday following a suspected drug overdose, and his famous friends gathered to honor him on the night before his funeral.
Blanchett, who appeared with the actor in 1999 film "The Talented Mr. Ripley," attended the gathering at the Frank E. Campbell Funeral Home in Manhattan along with Hoffman's "The Master" co-stars Phoenix and Adams.
Williams, who worked with the star on 2008′s "Synecdoche, New York," was also in attendance, along with actor Josh Hamilton and Hoffman's former partner, Mimi O'Donnell, and their three young children, Cooper, Willa and Tallulah.
A private funeral service for Hoffman will take place in New York City on Friday, and a memorial service will be held later this month. The actor's family has asked for charity donations in lieu of flowers for The DreamYard Project and the Christopher & Dana Reeve Foundation.

Sky Bet Championship: Reading and Leicester draw 1-1 at The Madejski
Reading moved back into the Championship play-off spots with a hard-earned 1-1 draw against already-promoted Leicester.
Last Updated: 16/04/14 7:42am
Danny Drinkwater's long-range rocket, his eighth goal of the season, cancelled out Alex Pearce's header for the Royals - whose wait for a first home win since January goes on.
Nigel Pearson's Foxes are now seven points clear of second-placed Burnley with four games left while Reading are clinging on to sixth, ahead of Brighton thanks to a goal difference of one.
Pearson had called for a response from his side after the Seagulls had spoiled their promotion party last week with a 4-1 win, and they almost got off to the perfect start.
Striker Jamie Vardy, back in the team after a spell out injured, thought he was back amongst the goals after eight minutes when he tapped in Jeff Schlupp's cross - however, he was controversially ruled offside.
Instead the Royals took the lead after 15 minutes.
Jordan Obita swung a deep free-kick into the box and Pearce guided a brilliant header back across Kasper Schmeichel and into the bottom corner.
Having developed a taste for scoring again the hosts almost doubled their advantage when Garath McCleary gave Schlupp the slip on the byline and slid the ball to Jobi McAnuff three yards out - but Schmeichel managed to save with his legs.
Reading should have been awarded a penalty when Dean Hammond clearly handled as he challenged Pavel Pogrebnyak in the air but referee Simon Hooper saw nothing - just as he did before the break when Schmeichel palmed McCleary's attempted lob wide, only for the official to give a goal-kick.
But by then Leicester had equalised through a superb goal from Drinkwater.
Reading half-cleared a corner to the midfielder some 25 yards out and he lashed it back through a crowded penalty area and into the net with keeper Alex McCarthy rooted to the spot.
Both sides had chances to snatch all three points after the interval, with Pogrebnyak heading McCleary's cross against the foot of a post and Drinkwater denied a second by the face of McCarthy.
Mikele Leigertwood, back from a long-term ankle injury, came on as a second-half sub for Reading but his only contribution was to collect two bookings in a quarter-of-an-hour to leave the hosts to play the last few minutes with 10 men.

Pioneer officially ends plasma TV production
Supplier yet to be announced
Pioneer today confirmed that it will soon begin wrapping up its in-house plasma panel production in its entirety. The announcement follows weeks of rumours that some or all of the operation was for the chop.
The company admitted that maintaining the cost-competitiveness of plasma display panels at projected sales volumes will be difficult going forward. Pioneer is the world's fifth largest plasma TV maker.
Pioneer will continue to sell plasma TVs, but it didn't say which manufacturer has been chosen to provide it with plasma panels. However, recent reports cited moles who claimed that Matsushita, owner of the Panasonic brand, and Hitachi as potential suppliers.
It will shut down manufacturing once production of its next series of plasma TV models is complete, which is likely to take a few years yet. Indeed, the company admitted that the changes announced today aren't expected to deliver financial benefits until 2010.
That suggests the ultra-thin, high-black line of Kuro plasma TVs that Pioneer announced earlier this year will make it to market.
Beyond that, Pioneer said it will look to license its TV technology to whoever its supplier or suppliers, so it looks like its developments will continue even if they're implemented by someone else.
Ending in-house production is expected to cost Pioneer around ¥19bn (£92m/€130m/$184m) in the short term, but it aims to "compensate for cutbacks on the plasma display business" by driving further expansion in its growth businesses, such as car stereos.

This is one of the most popular methods to buy a new vehicle. You pay an initial deposit, then pay off the balance in monthly payments over an agreed period of time, when the payments are complete the vehicle is yours.
One of the main benefits with Hire Purchase is the ability to buy a high value vehicle on monthly payments.
Hire Purchase allows you to tailor your finance package as deposit, length of time and monthly payments are all flexible.

Personal contract hire is very similar to normal contract hire, but is exclusively for private individuals. This is one of the most common form of leasing.
With a personal contract hire agreement you take control of a vehicle for a contractual period � usually referred to as the �lease period�. You will make fixed monthly payments for the duration of the contract � when the contract expires you will simply return the vehicle and take out a new personal contract hire lease. PCH means you never have to worry about resale values of your vehicle.

Road Tax is based upon the CO2 emissions of the vehicle and is split into 13 bands from A to M. The higher the letter the greater the cost of tax paid to drive the vehicle on public roads. In addition to the road tax detailed below, any vehicle that had a manufacturers retail price in excess of �40,000 when first sold, attracts a road tax supplement of an additional �320 per year. This is charged until the vehicle is 6 years old.

Ten Second Review
Vauxhall is getting serious about every area of the small SUV sector. Proof of that is delivered by this, its smallest offering, the Crossland X. It's compact yet surprisingly spacious, as well as being fashionable to look at and efficient to run. There's no pretence at off road capability but in all the areas that really matter, this car looks to be a strong proposition.
Here's a very fashionable little Vauxhall, the Crossland X. It's a smartly turned-out, family-orientated compact SUV that claims to be perfectly pitched for its target market. It slots in just below the Mokka X model in Vauxhall's SUV line-up. Here's a car with enough space inside to comfortably function as an ideal family second car, yet one that can also slot into the tightest supermarket space. Under the skin, it shares an upgraded version of the platform that underpins a rival Peugeot 2008, plus it gets almost everything from that Gallic model's engine line-up, which means a range of 1.2-litre petrol engines and a couple of 1.6-litre diesels. Vauxhall has built upon the French formula though, with a little of the style that marks out its fashionable ADAM citycar - hence, for example, the fashionable contrast-colour roof. Plus the brand has added in nearly all the advantages of its clever 'OnStar' personal connectivity and service assistant set-up. It all sounds quite promising doesn't it? We took one to Norfolk for the weekend to try it.
Driving Experience
Thanks to its Peugeot-derived platform and light PSA Group engines, this Crossland X has a huge weight advantage over its Mokka X showroom stablemate - around 200kgs - and you really feel that the first time you turn into a bend with any sort of real speed. Don't get us wrong: this Vauxhall isn't any sort of driver's car, but it's certainly a lot more agile and chuckable than you might expect, something we experienced for ourselves on the undulating Norfolk roads we came across as part of our weekend family test drive. Engine-wise, Crossland X buyers are offered a PSA-sourced range of three cylinder 1.2-litre petrol powerplants, plus that French group's 1.5-litre diesel developing 102PS. If budget is everything, there's a price-leading normally aspirated 83PS petrol unit, but easily the best option in the line-up is the mid-range 1.2-litre 110PS turbo petrol powerplant that most likely buyers will choose. It's the only engine on offer with the option of an automatic transmission, but this gearbox makes quite a dent in the efficiency figures. If you need more power, then your Vauxhall dealer will steer you towards the 1.2-litre 130PS model we tried as part of our test.
Design and Build
Buyers in the smallest SUV segment tend to prioritise aesthetics more than those in larger Crossover categories, so with that in mind, it's safe to say that this Crossland X starts off with something of a head-start. Provided you choose a variant with this contrast-coloured roof, there's something of the sophisticated, personalised feel here that you get with the Griffin brand's trendy little ADAM citycar. Inside, the centrepiece of the smartly styled dash is a beautifully-integrated Intellilink infotainment screen which incorporates the usual DAB stereo, Bluetooth 'phone and informational functions. Include the optional satellite navigation system and the screen size increases from 7 to 8-inches and you'll be better set up to use this car's other key technical innovation, the OnStar 'personal connectivity and service assistant'. This includes a vehicle tracking system in case of theft, creates in your Crossland X an in-car wi-fi hotspot and will allow you to monitor key vehicle information via a downloadable 'MyVauxhall' smartphone app. 'OnStar' will also automatically alert the emergency services if the airbags deploy. In the back, there's the useful option of a sliding rear bench, behind which lies a 410-litre boot. This proved to be large enough for my family's weekend luggage and is accessed through a decently-sized rectangular aperture. Push forward the backrest and up to 1,255-litres of fairly flat space is opened up.
Market and Model
Prices start at just over £17,000 and Vauxhall reckons that over 65% of sales of this car will be to private buyers, a much higher percentage than with its Corsa or Mokka X models. Hence perhaps, the emphasis on petrol power in the line-up, all the green pump-fuelled engines being 1.2-litre three cylinder units. If at all possible, try and avoid the entry-level normally aspirated 83PS variant and find the extra that Vauxhall asks for the pokier yet more efficient turbocharged version of this powerplant. A premium of around £1,300 over the base engine gets you a Crossland X 1.2 Turbo with 110PS and a 5-speed manual gearbox. Stretch to mid-range 'Tech Line Nav' trim, then find a further £600 or so on top of that, you can get yourself the same unit with 130PS and a 6-speed stick shift - which is what we tried. What else might you need to know? Possibly the fact that if you stick with the 110PS petrol model, there's the option of 6-speed automatic transmission - for an extra £1,160. As for diesel power, well we'd question whether you really need it, given the relatively small annual mileages likely to be covered by this kind of car. If you really are set on black pump motoring, then you'll need a budget starting from just under £19,500 for the 1.5-litre 102PS 'BlueInjection' diesel. Finally, we need to mention that, like many cars in the SUV 'B' segment, this one can't be ordered with any kind of 4WD system.
Cost of Ownership
This Crossland X is fully 200kgs lighter than its Mokka X showroom stablemate, which essentially is comparable to the kind of weight saving you'd make if you asked your entire family to get out and walk. Plus it gets PSA Group petrol engine technology which sees all the green pump-fuelled Crossland X models being powered by a three cylinder 1.2-litre powerplant that's vastly cleaner and more frugal than anything we've ever previously seen in a petrol-engined Vauxhall SUV. Let's get to the figures. The 1.2 Turbo 110PS Crossland X variant that most customers will buy delivers 58.9mpg on the combined cycle and 109g/km of CO2 in manual form with 16-inch wheels, returns that are genuinely difficult to beat in this segment. A rival Nissan Juke 1.2 DIG-T looks almost recklessly extravagant by comparison, delivering 49.6mpg and 128g/km. There's not too much of a running cost penalty for upgrading yourself into the 130PS version of the 1.2-litre turbo engine. That's the variant we tried on our weekend test, which manages 54.3mpg and 117g/km of CO2. Go for the 1.5-litre diesel option and you'll find the 102PS variant able to deliver 70.6mpg on the combined cycle and 105g/km of CO2.

I recently broke my tailwheel spring and mangled my rudder. I was able to fly home wth the bent rudder with nothing more than a little bit of extra right trim. I decided to replace the spring with a coil over shock suspension and picked the T3 manufactured by Airframes Alaska (http://www.airframesalaska.com/T3-Tailw ... s/1899.htm). They do not have an off the shelf unit for the Highlander so they referred me to Dan Dufalt, the designer: https://supercubsnorth.com/.
Dan was very helpful and came up with a mounting block that fits in the tail spring channel. It came with two 1/4" bolts that were intended to go up through the channel were it protruds on either side of the end of the fuselage. I did not have room to drill these holes so I drilled a 5/16" hole up through the mounting block and the fuselage where the lower longeron tubes come together and about 2 1/2" aft of the 3/8" spring mounting bolt. Catching a nut on this 5/16" bolt was an ordeal so I would highly reccommend doing this before covering the fuselage.
The T3 assembly is very nicely made and seems to work well. I have added some pictures of my mangled rudder and how I fixed it without recovering. I don't notice the missing bit and now it won't hit the ground if I lose the wheel.

Burger King says it will start offering a "French Fry Burger" for a buck, as it looks to fend off McDonald's aggressive push for its Dollar Menu.
The Miami-based chain says the burger will be available Sept. 1 through the fall, as it looks to drum up sales and customer interest with cheap new concoctions.
The burger, which clocks in at 360 calories and 19 grams of fat, is a relatively novel offering, but doesn't require any extra investment from Burger King; it's basically a standard beef patty topped with four of the chain's french fries.
(Read more: Analyst lay out their top fast food picks)
The offering comes as fast-food chains jump through hoops to get customers through their doors, in large part by heavily promoting their cheapest eats.

Armed To The Tea
Have you ever wandered through a bakery and thought, "Man, I could really go for a cake shaped like an arm holding a cup of hair right now"?
Well if so, then YOU are a very disturbed individual. Seriously. Maybe you should talk to someone.
But also, you're in luck!
Now, I know what you're thinking, and I completely agree. TOTALLY. But where would we even get a robot monkey at this hour?
You may also be wondering where the hair is.
There it is!
("I see...THE GRIM. And he's shedding like crazy.")
I'd say it looks like someone plucked out their mustache, but only because there are children present and I wouldn't want this to get too...public. (HI, KIDS.) I'd also go out on a limb and say this baker has single-handedly created the most disarming assault on the funny bone yet - but only because puns make me snort-giggle.
But in case that's not enough hair for you, fear not; there's more!
Er, I mean...talk about a hairy situation that must have taken a lot of elbow grease! Haha!
K, I think that's all I've got. SO, let the Professor Trelawney jokes...begin.
Thanks to Julia for reminding us of our universal right to bare arms. (Ok, that's the last one. Promise.)

Storm Cat (foaled in 1983) was an American Thoroughbred stallion whose breeding fee during the peak of his stud career was $500,000, the highest in the world. As such, he was one of the few horses with a 24 hour armed guard.
He was sired by Storm Bird, a son of Northern Dancer. His dam is Terlingua, who was sired by Secretariat. During his racing career the bay won the Grade I Young America Stakes at The Meadowlands, and finished second by a nose in that year's championship deciding race, the Breeders' Cup Juvenile.
Best known for the success of the racehorses he has sired and his many successful sons at stud, Storm Cat stood at stud at Overbrook Farm in Lexington, Kentucky. In 1999 and 2000, he was the leading sire in North America. As of August 2008, he has sired 32 winners of Group 1/Grade 1 stakes, 99 winners of group or graded stakes races, and 166 stakes winners worldwide who have earnings in excess of $115 million. He was the leading sire of stakes winners in North America in 2005.

Pet owners have many responsibilities, and keeping your pet healthy with veterinary care is a significant one. To help make sure your pet receives high quality medical care, several veterinarians offer advice on how to find the right vet for your pet.
Ask for recommendations
"A good way to begin your search for a high quality veterinary practice is to ask for recommendations from friends and family," says Dr. Meredith Hope, fulltime Veterinary Technology instructor -at Brown Mackie College - Louisville. "Word of mouth from people with experience as a client can be valuable. You can also read online reviews and look at veterinary websites for information on specific doctors and practices."
Dr. Barry Kellogg, senior veterinary advisor of the Humane Society Veterinary Medical Association, -suggests paring down your list of options by looking for a practice that is certified by American Animal Hospital Association (AAHA). This independent organization has developed accreditation standards to measure excellence in veterinary medicine. "AAHA represents the gold standard in quality," Kellogg says. "Certification is voluntary and shows that a practice goes above and beyond to ensure certain standards are met both for the doctors and the facility."
Visit the practice
"Practices grow by developing relationships that show you are valued as a client," says Hope. The temperament and qualifications of the overall staff say a lot about the practice. "Staff members trained as registered veterinary technicians (RVTs) are a good sign of quality care," continues Hope. "The training provides clinical competence and technical knowledge." This can go a long way in easing your mind about the people who will play a major role in your pet's care.
Doctor credentials
One of the first things many people notice about the veterinarian is his or her bedside manner. Are you comfortable talking to and listening to this person? Keep in mind you are looking for a medical expert; you want to weigh more than personality. "How do you know what the vet knows?" asks Kellogg. "Technical knowledge and educational status aren't easy to judge from the outside. Your decision should come from a blend of interpersonal relationship and educational knowledge and credentials." Credentials are typically displayed on an office wall in the form of a Doctor of Veterinary Medicine degree.
Accessibility matters
In addition to office visits, how accessible is the veterinarian or a professionally trained staff member to answer your questions on the phone? "If a practice is too busy to respond, you may want to rethink your decision," says Kellogg. "You want access to guidance when you have a question about your pet. As a client, you deserve personal service and attention. Some practices now use email as a forum to answer questions."
Overnight essentials
In case your pet ever requires surgery and an overnight stay at the veterinarian's office, it's a good idea to ask up front about overnight care. "Some practices have an attendant on site throughout the night," Hope says. "Others may assign a staff member to check in periodically. If there is no night staff, many will transfer the patient to a local ER veterinary clinic for overnight monitoring." Each pet owner must decide what seems right for each pet. "Animals need some kind of supervision, even after a simple spay procedure," says Kellogg. "The larger multi-doctor practices may be more available to staff the facility at night, sharing off-hour coverage."
No one knows your pet better than you do
"Veterinary care involves give and take between you, the doctor and the staff. Most pet owners want to make their own decisions about their pets with appropriate guidance from the practice," says Kellogg. "I feel a veterinarian's responsibility is to present treatment alternatives objectively and let the individual decide how to proceed."

Tamron is developing an advanced new all-in-one™ wide-angle to telephoto zoom lens for full-frame DSLR cameras.
Interview with Vera Dondelinger, food blogger from Heidelberg, Germany
Image sharpness is one of the most important creative tools for photographers. However, what is in sharp focus or out of focus in an image is not only decided by the focus itself. The aperture also has a significant influence in this area. The aperture controls the depth of field, or in other words the zone of spatial depth, in which objects in an image appear sharp to the human eye.
Yes! Let's just pack our things and go. One month, 6 months, a year? Everyone's had thoughts like this at one time or another and nobody can say that Germans don't know how to travel. It's with good reason that we are not only known as the "World Champions of Hearts" (because of the World Cup in 2006) but we are also the world champions when it comes to travelling.
Rocky, steep and fairly strenuous – we worked up quite a sweat on the climb up to the Teufelsloch (Devil's hole) near Altenahr. And of course we couldn't leave home without all of our photography equipment. Alongside a single-lens reflex camera and the high speed Tamron SP 24-70mm F/2.8 Di VC USD, we also had a graduated filter in our rucksack on this trip. The graduated filter allows you to reduce high contrasts between the sky and landscape. Ideal for taking photographs on sunny days when the dynamic range of the camera is not sufficient to capture details in highlights and shadows with one single exposure.

Something for just about everyone.
Any mechanic, woodworker, tradesman or craftsman knows that the right tool makes the job a whole lot easier. And having the right tool means having a choice. We've all seen someone try to drive a screw with a butter knife, or pound a nail with a shoe heel. The results are never pretty.
Honda's FourTrax Rancher line are premium tools for the jobs you need to do, whether that's on the farm, the jobsite, hunting, fishing, exploring... or on the ranch. It's easy for you to choose the right mix of features—just like reaching for that right tool.
Every Rancher starts with the same proven Honda engine, the heart of any ATV. A 420cc liquid-cooled single-cylinder design with fuel injection, it's engineered for the kind of wide, low-revving power an ATV rider wants. And it offers something no other ATV can: Honda's legendary reliability and efficiency.
Choosing a Rancher is a no-brainer. Your only real challenge is choosing the right Rancher. And shouldn't all life's challenges be that easy?

Ideal what ? Muscle mass, body fat, or CV fitness... I dont know is the honest truth.
How big is big enough ? Again I honestly dont know. I do know that I have been given NO chest, lats, shoulders or even arms (thanks Mum), but my legs aint bad (thanks Dad). I suppose I should follow suit with the masses and just do chest and gunz huh, but that aint me. I love to do legs and they are a part of me that I get good growth in so i try to embrace that.
Ideal body ???? Anything from Steeve Reeves to JC Van Dam (vis arnie on the way).
Im 34 and will never be an Arnie, Reeves or Van Dam, but will try to get as close as possible....

Private guards at the Olympic park have been filmed forcibly attempting to stop the media taking pictures and footage of the complex in east London, raising new concerns about potentially aggressive and over-intrusive security during the Games.
During the incident two guards from G4S, the security giant which is recruiting at least 10,000 staff for the event, attempted to clamp their hands over the lenses of stills and video cameras, even though the footage is being shot on public land.
While there are numerous rules about photography and filming inside the Olympic complex itself, which is private land, there are no restrictions on the use cameras from public areas.
Earlier this month the National Union of Journalists arranged a meeting with the two senior Scotland Yard officers in charge of Olympic security, in part to seek assurances that the media would not be harassed on public land.
Jess Hurd, whose camera was blocked by one of the G4S staff in the incident, said she had asked police about whether private security guards would be properly trained on photography laws. Police informed her that there should be no problems outside the venue.
"We were a bit bemused but thought we'd take it at face value. So we decided to have a walk round the perimeter," she said.
Hurd was among five photographers and video journalists who opted to walk around the perimeter of the Olympic site in Stratford, in part to take pictures of the preparations but also to test the security response.
As they walked along one pavement, near the adjoining Westfield shopping mall, a G4S guard approached the group and told them they were not allowed to film, before trying to hold his hand over Hurd's camera.
A supervisor who arrived told the group that guards had been specifically instructed to stop people filming a nearby "security screening area".
She said: "We are told that we should refrain from letting anybody film the security screening area. Obviously, we don't want that filmed."
The supervisor appeared not to know the difference between filming on public and private land, likening the rules to those against taking pictures of security checks at London's Heathrow airport.
She added: "We're all here for the protection of the Olympic park. Obviously, if you don't care about that, that's your business. We care."
At one point another guard made a lunge for a video camera in an apparent attempt to stop filming.
Hurd said she had been reassured by police at the meeting that private staff had been granted no extra powers for the Olympics, and that she was most baffled by the apparent instruction to prevent filming.
She said: "This is very significant, because obviously we were on public land. They've got no right to do that with anyone. At no point did they ask to see any ID, so whether we were professionals or not didn't come into it."
Last week media and civil liberties groups expressed surprise and concern after another venue which will host Olympic events this summer, the 02 arena in Greenwich, south-east London, said it instructed guards to routinely challenge anyone photographing or filming the structure, even on public land.
The response came after a Guardian reporter was stopped from shooting video footage from a pavement by 02 guards, who said they had powers to do this under terrorism laws.
A G4S spokesman said of Saturday's events: "We are looking into what happened. We are well aware of the laws permitting people to take photographs or film from public land."

Sounds like fun, any Ghost Town clubs here in AZ
Sounds like fun, any Ghost Town clubs here in AZ
Yep that me with the Western Union Intro on the phone 862 243 0769
I would love to have one in Florida. The only problem is that I'm up in Jacksonville and most of my ghost towning is done when I travel to the southern half of the state.
I would look near PANAMA CITY in Florida or the Everglades
Not specifically ghost towns but there are several groups in Utah that visit ghost towns regularly.
ExpeditionUtah: All things outdoors in Utah, heavily focused on historical aspects and vehicle based exploration
Utah Gold Prospectors Association: Just as the name implies
NUTS Club: Metal detector club
Utah Treasure Club: Metal detecting/screening, etc. Lots of trips to ghost towns
Mojave Underground: Mine history and exploration
Additionally there are a good number of 4WD and photography clubs that visit Utah ghost towns on a regular basis.
It is sad to see these sites go.....Lost art form that can never be replaced.
There are several in the Central FL area. Some are sections of larger cities but still have ruins or structures that date back to the town. Some towns were sawmill towns that played out and moved on. Sumica still has some structures of the sawmill but Polk County will not let you in without official escort. You can see some pictures I took on the internet.
Centralia can be found but is on protected land so no souvieners (sp?) or metal detectors. Hefty fines if caught.
Check out the myriad of others on the old GT site. Many are still there. Be glad to help ya if you need it.
Mike Woodfin
Any GT clubs in the Reno, NV. AREA ?

When the Enterprise rescues a one-man ship on the edge of the Romulan Neutral Zone, the crew is shocked to discover that the ship is registered to Carter Winston, a famous philanthropist who has been missing for five years. Even more shocked is his fianceé, Anne, a security officer aboard the Enterprise.
How would you react if your long lost fiancé returned to you … and then said he can't marry you? Ever. Oh yeah, and he's an alien. And the human he is impersonating is rich—rich in a culture with no money. Those are just some of the issues tackled in "The Survivor."
In this episode of Saturday Morning Trek, the wood-paneled den gets a visit from Andi VanderKolk of Women at Warp as we tackle this installment of The Animated Series.

Join us for the first episode of our fictional third season of Star Trek The Animated Series!
If you thought Deep Space Nine was the first time a Starfleet crew shrunk down to the size of action figures, think again! Was the trope of thematic cure-all of the transporter a Next Generation invention? Not exactly!

Cutting Tool Inserts
Walter has introduced Tiger·tec® Silver ISO K inserts, designed to boost performance and reliability in the machining of grey cast iron, ductile iron, and higher strength steel alloys under difficult conditions. These inserts achieve dramatic performance increases due to the new aluminum oxide coating with an optimized microstructure that delivers improved crater wear and heat resistance. They also permit reduced machining time by enabling higher cutting parameters, and are suitable for wet or dry machining. Add to this a new post-coating treatment that provides increased edge toughness, improved process reliability, and trouble-free machining of interrupted cuts and cross holes; plus reduced tool changes due to increased tool life, and you've got a system that can boost performance by up to 75%.
The Tiger·tec Silver ISO K has an MK5 geometry that features an open chip groove for reduced cutting forces and low cutting temperatures, a strong zero degree land plus a ground seating surface, all combining to further boost reliability and process security even with dynamic loads. Tiger·tec Silver ISO K comes in two grades, WKK10S and WKK20S. WKK10S has higher wear resistance due to its thicker Al2O3 coating, while the WKK20S has greater toughness. WKK10S is ideal for high speed operations where heat and wear resistance are of prime importance; an additional application is on hardened steels in the range of 40-60 Rc. WKK20S is focused demanding applications in all types of iron, tempered alloy steels such as 4140, 4150, and L6, high tensile strength steels (greater than 140,000 psi), as well as forgings. It excels in heavily interrupted cuts in components like differential cases as well as handling the dynamic loads from rough machining out-of-round castings and forgings.
