"The army is held by the throat by a few sharpshooters!" Major General Ambrose Burnside fumed. For more than eight hours, Burnside's army was held on the far bank of the Rappahannock River by Confederates in the form of Brigadier General William Barksdale's Mississippi brigade.
Hunt's artillerists did what they could to dislodge the pesky Mississippians. A Union 3rd Corps staff officer wrote, "Over and in the town the white winkings of the bursting shells reminded one of a countless swarm of fire-flies. Several buildings were set on fire, and their black smoke rose in remarkably slender, straight, and tall columns for two hundred feet, perhaps, before they began to spread horizontally and unite in a great black canopy." Though parts of Fredericksburg were burning, the Confederates remained.
The day had not gone well at the Upper Crossing. Men of the 50th New York Engineers had moved with their wagon trains to the river near 2 a.m. To muffle the sounds of the wagons, Engineers laid straw in the ravines that led down Stafford Heights to the riverfront. Some Engineers even came up with the idea to take the pontoon boats from the crest of the heights and slide them down the hill to the river like sleds in snow. This made far too much noise, not to mention it was dangerous to ride the uncontrollable "sleds."
Work commenced on two bridges. Their hulks slowly stretched throughout the morning out into the cold waters of the Rappahannock. At 5 a.m., the Federals heard the signal guns of Lee's Army. At 5:15 a.m., fire poured down on them and the bridges from the homes along the riverfront. At the Upper Crossing, the fire was laid down from the 17th Mississippi and 8th Florida Infantry. (The 8th Florida was only one of three regiments from Florida to serve in Lee's Army at Fredericksburg.)
Losses mounted on the bridges. Captain Wesley Brainerd, 50th New York Engineers recalled:
I was standing at the extreme outer end of the bridge encouraging my men, when happening to cast my eyes to the shore beyond just as the fog lifted a little, I saw what for the moment almost chilled my blood. A long line of arms moving rapidly up and down was all I saw, for a moment later they were again obscured by the fog. But I knew too well that line of arms was ramming cartridges and that the crisis was near.
Moments later, shots rang out from the buildings of Fredericksburg.
"The bullets of the enemy rained upon my bridge," Brainerd said. "They went whizzing and zipping by and around me, pattering on the bridge, splashing into the water and thugging through the boats."
The Engineers scurried off the bridges and ran the gauntlet of fire back to the shoreline. Union infantry, the 57th and 66th New York of Colonel Samuel Zook's 2nd Corps brigade, covered the withdrawal of the Engineers.
Much of the Confederate fire subsided after the engineers pulled off the bridges. This forced the officers to push their men back out to resume work. As they did, the fire kicked up again and losses mounted further.
Brigadier General Daniel Woodbury, who was in charge of the engineers, later reflected that "I was greatly mortified…to find that the pontoniers under my command would not continue to work until actually shot down…. The officers and men showed a willingness to do so, but the majority seemed to think their task a hopeless one. Perhaps I was unreasonable."
One Mississippian recalled:
Tons of iron were hurled against this place, the deafening roar of cannon and bursting shells, falling walls and chimneys, bricks and timbers flying through the air, houses set on fire, the smoke adding to the already heavy fog, the bursting flames through the housetops, made a scene which has no parallel in history. It was appalling and indescribable, a condition which would paralyze the stoutest heart, and one from which not a man in Barksdale's Brigade had the slightest hope of escaping.
Surgeon Clark Baum of the 50th New York Engineers claimed, "When the artillery fairly opened the roar was terrific—dreadful—I know of no words to express it. The screeching of the shells thru the air the whiz of the solid shot, the boom, boom, boom of the cannon, the sharp ring of the rifles and rattle of the musketry all commingled made one's ears tingle."
Out onto the bridges went the engineers again, but again they quickly fell under small arms fire. Barksdale's men were securely in the city. Though Henry Hunt's cannon could keep Confederate reinforcements from moving in, they could not drive out the Confederates who were already there. One of the major issues was the construction of the houses. Many were wooden structures. When a percussion shell hit the wood, it would not detonate but would instead punch a large hole in the home, which the Confederates could use to fire from.
The weather also had wreaked havoc on the Union artillery munitions. In the mornings, temperatures had been below freezing, but in the afternoons the temperature rose into the 50's and 60's. The frequent rain and snow compounded the problem, leaving Union artillerists with an equation for disaster. Many timed fuses simply would not detonate because the powder in the shells had become damp.
As hard as Hunt's men tried, they could not dislodge the Confederates. Barksdale was holding back nearly two-thirds of the Union army.
Lee had forced Burnside's hand time and again in the Fredericksburg Campaign. Lee cut off the Army of the Potomac at Fredericksburg. His army patrolled for more than 40 miles up and down river, making a crossing impossible to go undetected. Confederates were in the city now stopping the Union engineers from completing their bridges. The Union high command struggled to adapt and figure a way past Lee's men.
Then came Henry Hunt's idea to use the pontoon boats as landing craft for the infantry. Burnside was reluctant to order the men across, so he asked for volunteers. They were easy to find. Colonel Norman Hall's brigade, from Major General Darius Couch's 2nd Corps, offered men for the daring maneuver. Hall called on the battle-hardened 7th Michigan to force the crossing.
The 157 men of the 7th Michigan moved from the east side of Chatham, down the slope of Stafford Heights to the upper crossing area around 3 p.m. Hunt's guns opened again on the city. The hope was to keep the heads of the Confederates down as the crossing went forward.
The Michiganders jumped into the boats near 3:15 p.m. Between 35 and 40 men piled into each one. The plan was for the engineers to paddle the infantry across. As at the Middle Crossing at the south end of the city, the pontoon boats themselves were slow in ferrying men across the river.
As the Michigan soldiers jumped in the boats, many of the 50th New York Engineers leapt out. These men had been under fire most of the day and had enough. Some of the infantry wrestled the engineers back into the boats while others launched without their engineers. Across the river went the 7th Michigan in six boats.
As they went across the 400 feet of river, Mississippians from the shore poured fire into them. Union artillery was unable to keep them pinned down because faulty shells and the inability to depress the barrels of the cannon low enough to hit the shore.
To speed their crossing, the Michiganders used their rifle butts to paddle. Some of their boats spun in circles in the river as one side paddled faster than the other. Some boats slowed due to the mounting casualties. Near the halfway point, Lieutenant Colonel Henry Baxter, the commander of the 7th, was wounded in the chest. Baxter told the men to turn back. Baxter's second in command, Major Thomas Hunt, had none of this. Major Hunt ordered the men to keep paddling for the hostile shore, and when they reached it, he gave the black-flag order to take no prisoners. The day was not only wearing on the engineers, it was now wearing on the infantry.
As the boats got closer to shore, Confederate fire slackened. The sharpshooters, situated on the far side of Sophia Street, couldn't shoot down over the riverbank, which acted as a shield to protect the final stretch of the Union crossing. Soon, the flat noses of the boats hit dry land, and the Union soldiers spilled out onto the riverbank.
As the Union army completed its first-ever successful riverine crossing under fire, the boats came ashore at the foot of the Hawke Street/Sophia Street intersection. Out of the boats leapt the Michiganders who entered the first two houses they came across. One observer from the Stafford side of the river stated that they could follow the fighting room by room, muzzle flash by muzzle flash. William McCarter of 116th Pennsylvania later described the scene:
Hundreds of my comrades and I on the hilltops looked down on the brave fellows on the river, tugging and fighting with death itself. An oarsman would be seen relinquishing his oar and falling down dead or wounded in the bottom of his boat or overboard into the river. Then another would drop while not a few of their partners with rifles in hand were suffering a similar fate by their side. I think this was sad. It may have been the saddest sight during my life in the army. The scene forced tears from many of my comrades and me who were eyewitnesses to it.
The 7th secured the far bank and now distracted the Confederates enough to allow the engineers to go back to bridge building unmolested. The Union infantry, though, had much more work ahead of them.
More Federals were fed into the breach. The 19th Massachusetts went across in boats next, followed shortly thereafter by the 20th Massachusetts (The Harvard Regiment). The fighting in the streets distracted the Southern riflemen, thus the bridges were quickly finished, and across came the 42nd New York, 127th Pennsylvania, and more. The flood of Union reinforcements presented a problem, though: there was not enough room for all of them.
The 7th Michigan had only advanced a half a block and stopped in an alley. The two Massachusetts regiments knew they needed to advance, but no one knew who should lead. They asked Division commander Brigadier General Oliver O. Howard for orders. As the men waited for his reply, casualties quickly mounted. Confederates held the "high ground"—that is, they were in the second and third floors of buildings, firing down on the Federals. "Nearly every house and cellar had someone in it, firing from the windows," claimed one Union officer.
Finally word came back from the aloof Howard. He simply he told his subordinates "to push ahead." Regimental commanders fought with one another over who had to take the lead. Hunt's men had seen enough; they were happily tucked in their ally. So, it fell on the 20th Mass to secure the next block. In column, the Bay State men bravely advanced.
As they entered the Caroline Street/Hawke Street intersection, all of hell and damnation rained on them.
The Federals deployed in the open streets as best they could. One company swung north into battle line on Caroline Street; another to the south; the third drove straight across the intersection and kept going alone into the heart of the city. All the while, the 20th took it on the chin from elements of the 13th and 17th Mississippi.
Though in buildings, the Confederates still took considerable casualties. The thin wood homes disintegrated as the bullets hit. "The most dangerous and trying part of the action, was that the enemy could fire a volley at such close range without being seen." one Union soldier remembered. Splinters hit the Rebels in the eyes and wounded many.
Still, the 20th was in the open, and in less than 20 minutes, one-third of the regiment were casualties.
House by house, street by street, the fighting raged. By 4:30, there was little Barksdale could do. The Federals outnumbered him nearly 3 to 1, and more were poised to cross. Finally, Barksdale's commander, Lafayette McLaws, reined in his pit-bull. Barksdale ordered his men out of the city, assigning the 21st Mississippi to cover the retreat near dark.
Barksdale had held back the entire Union army for one full day. This allowed Lee the time he needed to assemble the entire Confederate Army, 78,000 strong, and improve fields of fire and fortifications. This delay allowed Colonel E. P. Alexander to prepare the Maryes Heights field so that, "we can cover that ground…so well that we comb it as with a fine-tooth comb. A chicken could not live on that field when we open on it."
The delay had come at a high price to the Union army,. "The first street running parallel with the river was covered with Union and Confederate dead. One of the latter was lying in the middle of the street pierced with a shell, taking off both arms," one soldier wrote. A number of the dead and wounded soldiers suffered from multiple wounds inflicted by the bayonet. It was a gruesome and chilling scene. "Here we cleared the houses near us, but shot came from far and near—we could see no one and were simply murdered," Captain George Macy of the 20th Mass remembered. "[E]very shot of the enemy took effect. How I escaped I cannot say, as…more than a dozen [men] actually fell on me."

I've never been good at it in WoW, because it means you don't get to play the game much, I know someone with 70,000+ gold and they're just auction house junkies.
I'd rather just buy what I can afford, work for the expensive things, and enjoy the rest of the game.
Pyromelter said...
dude, most of the people i know (including myself) that have accumulated 100k+ gold are not auction house campers. They do just enjoy the game. The AH is just part of it, takes a few minutes to scan the AH, load up lil sparky's, cut some gems make some glyphs, toss em up there, and go about your business. Easily done in 15 minutes while you're waiting for your 5man queue to pop, or your raid to start.
It requires a strategy rather than time. I know people with plenty of gold, but they don't spend all day glued to the AH. Playing the market is something they enjoy, so they find interest in keeping track of what's selling, what are the cheapest ways to score mats etc.
It's another aspect of game that you can participate in, if you want to. Doesn't have to be a grind.

Ok. Consulting is where all the big IT shops are moving to because the margins are massive. Yet, these guys can't make any money at it.
160M revenue and you can't turn a profit in an industry known for 50% markup?
For it's 110M market cap, I can buy a company that can't turn in back to back years of profitability.. Maybe I can sell that 60M of goodwill to 'goodwill' and get my money back.
It's time to close up shop boys. I'll get the lights on the way out.

" Most of our animals are rescued from the wild because they are incapable of surviving or seriously injured. And Seaworld takes them in and takes care of them. And if they aren't deemed releasable they look after the animals. Ya it seems unfair and cruel. But does that make it any better than releasing them into the wild where they can't survive?"
This photo is of a young Kandu 5, she was a healthy orca at the time of capture, like all sw orca are so that they can be trained.
Kandu V was a dominant female Icelandic orca, caught in 1977 and kept at SeaWorld San Diego in California. On August 21, 1989, she attempted to rake a newcomer orca, Corky II, with her mouth during a live show. Instead she missed and ended up slamming into a wall. The blow severed an artery near Kandu V's jaw, and she began spouting blood. The crowd was quickly ushered out, and after a 45-minute hemorrhage, Kandu V died. Her daughter, Orkid, was 11 months old at the time of the accident.
Now, orca in the wild do not show aggression such as this due to that fact that they live in matriarchal societies. These two orca, Kandu & Corky, were from two different population's, both ripped from their families/ Kandu being of Icelandic decent and Corky from Northern Resident decent. Had these orca been left alone to live natural live's with their families Kandu 5 would have never suffered the way she did.

howdy...I am implementing Kevin Yanks excellent drop-down menu on a site of mine. I am encountering some unforeseen problems and would like some dHTML gurus to take a look and make some suggestions. To be fair, the menu in it's unaltered state works perfectly in both IE and NS (does it work in AOL?) The problem lies in the fact that I am making some pretty substantial edits/additions.
The mockup can be found at:
Here are the problems I am encountering and would like solutions for:
1) The menu was designed for use in a left-aligned site. On my intro page ONLY, the menu will be center-aligned. The problem with this is that fact the the DIV's rely on absolute postioning. How can I overcome this?
2) The original menu used only one background color for each menu. I want to use a different background color for each menu. I have accomplished this in IE by creating duplicate styles for each menu item, then changing the bg color. But as you might expect, it does not work in Netscape. I have narrowed it down to the part that I must change/add to in NS, but I don't know how to proceed.
In Netscape, the DIV that contains the actual text just covers the text itself.
3) I would like to know if it possible to make each menu a different width? As you can see from the mockup, each button is a different width, and I would like the menu's to be the same width. This one is not that important as I can change the images themselves if I need to.
thanks in advance.

Water & Sewer governance, Tasmania
Water Corporation Governance
Submission to Select Committee
The Government has taken water supply assets from the direct control of Tasmanian Councils. Subsequently there is vociferous public debate on the actions of the newly formed water supply companies.
The Water Corporation's Directors should be accountable to the water users, either by the political process, like Councillors, or by shareholder vote, proportional to capital contribution holding, as in public companies.
Some water users fear the consequences of monopoly suppliers. The proponents claim a state wide water authority will provide better service. So far there has been no evidence of this. Those users who paid a year in advance and then received overdue notices have justifiable concern.
Why is the issue so hotly debated? Kingborough Councillor Flora Fox evaluates the politics of the debate and why people are so frustrated by the issues. Twenty three years of experience as an elected Councillor on Tasmania's fastest growing Council gives Flora an overview of the issues. Kingborough had paid off its water and sewerage assets and owned them debt free before the new Water Corporation, at formation, compulsorily acquired everything, without paying.
The current debate about water supply focuses on water meters.
"Do we want them" and "Yes we must have them". The new water and sewerage corporations state that users will get water meters and Hobart City Council advertises their position against them. The debate concentrates on the methods for charging residential properties for water. Commercial and Industrial properties have had many water meters for many years, but this has been obscured in the current debate.
Although water meters provide the topic for debate, the real issue is who has control of community assets.
Historically in Tasmania local Councils have provided water and sewerage. Councils in the south achieved economies of scale by jointly forming, owning and controlling a joint company. This now historic company sold bulk water to Councils who retailed it to their customers and ratepayers. If water users didn't like the taste of their water or the pressure, then they phoned their local elected Councillor who had a direct chain of responsibility for water supply. Most councils decided to meter commercial and industrial users, but that it was not economic to meter residential users.
Councils integrated planning, roads, stormwater, water, sewerage and rate collection with significant economies of scale and commonality.
The Water and Sewerage Corporations Act of 2008 changed all that.
Councils have a long history of responding to demands to optimise the allocation of local community resources for overall benefit.
Politics is the art of allocating these community resources.
Councils and elected Councillors devote all of their time to optimising this allocation of resources. If they get it wrong, hundreds of aggrieved ratepayers will phone them to let them know.
The community resources in the current debate include the water, the geographic location of the water, the pipe to transport it and the treatment plants (both water and sewerage).
The geographical availability of water is a key point. There is an excess availability of water in Queensland and none in the Gibson Desert. If water and sewerage are not available the land values are low. If water and sewerage services a property, the property has a higher value. The location of land adjacent to water and sewerage supply is a significant community resource. In a democratic society citizens expect to influence the allocation of these resources.
Councils have historically allocated local resources among the residents under the supervision of the state government. Occasionally uneven representation or "Gerrymanders" skew the process. Decades ago Kingorough suffered under a skewed electoral system where the Councillors from the low population, North and South Wards could outvote the highly populated Central Ward of Kingston and Blackmans Bay. The Central Ward paid the rates but did not get the services. The Water and Sewerage Act of 2008 creates a new "Gerrymander" or "Watermander." (The original Gerrymander was an electorate shaped like a salamander to collect all the votes for "Gerry" the politician.) The process of resource allocation for water and sewerage assets is skewed. The bulk of the water assets have come from the large councils but they do not have majority control of the water corporations.
We now have the situation where the directors of the new water corporations are not appointed under majority control of the providers of the bulk of the capital assets and revenue streams. The people who pay do not have control. A small debt laden Council has as much control as Kingborough and Hobart, that contributed hundreds of millions of dollars worth of assets to the new water corporation.
Conflict over resource allocation frequently occurs when both parties feel as though they have no control. In this case the small remote Councils feel aggrieved that they cannot afford water services because they do not have land located close to good quality water supplies. Their consequent low economic activity and low population place then in an actual minority situation. The Water and Sewerage Act of 2008 places the larger Councils and their larger populations in a minority. Control of the new water corporations rests with the more numerous small Councils. This "double minority" will not be resolved by debating about water meters. Skewed corporate governance and lack of accountability of the directors lies at the heart of the debate.
Even the newly appointed directors of the water corporations may not be aware of the real reason for the current rash of hot opinions. However, unlike the elected Councillors who preceded them, dissatisfied water users cannot vote them out. Consequently all we hear is gnashing of teeth by enraged residents who get over-due notices for bills they have already paid.
Compared with the historic situation, Council's have no control over the water and sewerage supply. What residual control the Council's do have is skewed by the "Watermander". The 2008 Act specifies that in the case of the Southern Regional Water Corporation, the 12 southern Councils appoint a three person Owners Representative Committee. This Committee in turn appoints a Committee to select Directors of the Southern Water Corporation. So the extent of Local Government control is both diluted and skewed.
The Act also specifies that the Southern Council's provide a "Letter of Expectation" to the Corporation. However this is not legally binding on the Directors of Southern Water (similar to the other two regional water corporations.)
Councils and water users have no control over the policies and actions of the water companies. The Directors have no obligations to take any notice of either. So we have a situation set up by the State Government which gives absolute power without representation. This is a recipe for frustration and annoyance, as demonstrated by the misplaced vehemence of the water meter debate. Residents are not focusing on the core issue of the exercise of arbitrary administrative power by the water corporations. The situation is effectively taxation without representation.
The strategic consequences of a gerrymander include provision of "lollies" to the smaller constituencies to obtain agreement to extract resources from the larger constituencies. The extent to which this can occur is obviously diluted by the lack of direct control of operations by the constituent councils. Of more significance is the fact that there is no integrated strategic plan released by the Water Corporations, allowing Council's to integrate land use planning with associated infrastructure.
The State Government's economic regulator has power over pricing. So ultimately the State Water Corporations are a state-controlled tax like land tax.
The behaviour of monopolies is well known. They have no obligation to consider the customer's needs and can charge what they like. The evidence so far would suggest that the Water Corporations behaviour is not likely to be any different.
From the advertisements in the Mercury by the Corporation, "you will get a water meter and pay, and pay and pay….."
The Water Corporation's Directors should be accountable to the water users, either by the political process, like Councillors, or by shareholder vote, proportional to capital contribution holding, as in public companies.

Look up Words with Purple Dictionary
Productivity Sauce
Although Gnome comes with a dictionary application, it's not the most polished tool out there. Its major shortcoming is the lack of text formatting, which makes dictionary articles more difficult to read. Enter the Purple dictionary application. Developed as a part of the Elementary project, this lightweight and slick dictionary tool is perfect for quickly looking up words from the convenience of your desktop.
While Purple is decidedly a bare-bones application, it presents articles as nicely formatted text. In addition to that, the left sidebar provides quick access to previous articles and the Bookmark feature lets you bookmark articles for later use. Purple's binary packages for Ubuntu are available through a PPA, so installing the application on Ubuntu Linux and its derivatives is a matter of two commands:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:aroman/purple sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install purple
Purple is not perfect, though. For example, each article provides a list of synonyms (where available), but they are not hyperlinked. You can't switch between different dictionary sources either. But if you are willing to look past these shortcomings, you might find Purple a handy tool.

Postcard from... Saudi Arabia
Readers' comments (23)
Don't go to Saudi. Come to 'business friendly' Bahrain. You can have some of the restrictions of Saudi and some of the 'delights' of Western culture all at the same time. It is here that the Saudis themselves come in great numbers!!
And next weeks postcard come from...
As an expat lawyer who actually LIVES in Saudi (Riyadh), I find the "postcard's" decription actually pretty fair and accurate. These are really the +/- of the country in a nutshell. (I have been here for about 5 months.)
Don't come if you're single (let alone if you're a single woman, which is borderline impossible anyway), but if you have young kids it's actually a pretty good life... The various expats communities are extremely warm an welcoming, no doubt because of the country's adverse conditions in many areas.
But overall, lawyers and other expats here are pretty happy -- in fact many have been here for much longer than they initially thought they would, and have a hard time going back to Europe!
I personally don't like Dubai, which I find to artificial and 'bachelor-centric', but if you're looking for a good middle-ground between Dubai and KSA, Oman and Abu Dhabi are probably the right spots.
To the expat lawyer who 'actually LIVES' in Saudi. I am thinking of moving to Saudi - can you advise on any synagogues in your area which my family can attend and where it may be possible to buy kosher food ?
Anonymous | 29-Mar-2010 1:01 pm shows complete ignorance of his/her own faith - why don't you put your narrow prejudice aside and learn a bit about Islam before spouting off. If and when you finally grow up, you'll realise that there's no actual difference between halal and kosher meat and that muslims and jews have a great deal (may be too much) in common. Wake up and smell the chicken soup!
Anonymous @ 29-Mar-2010. This is how Saudi is,nobody is forcing you to come here, and nobody is forcing us to stay here. We can pack and leave at any time. Stop your racist comments this is not going to help expats currently living in Saudi.
Ananymous @1.01 (29 March) - what an utterly inane and ignorant response to a very accurate and balanced comment.
FYI there are Jewish communities in both KSA and even Yemen.
email@example.com I suggest you ask why there are no synagogues in the Vatican first before asking if there are any in Saudi.
Lewis - "the cynicism of the writer and the corporate law firms...is absolutely reprehensible." I'm sure you'll be a far more effective advocate of change preaching to a choir or just boycotting those with whom you disagree. But if you're seeking moral clarity, may I suggest another profession?
Chosen Few - though similar, there are significant differences between halal and kosher. Just because two systems both ban pork and share certain other similarities doesn't mean "there's no difference."
Shellfish? Cheeseburgers?
That said, the best hot dogs have always been Hebrew National - which, while both kosher and halal, are alas, not to be found in Saudi Arabia.

Bush Unleash New Single 'The Only Way Out'
Bush have revealed 'The Only Way Out,' the lead single from the band's upcoming 'Man on the Run' album.
Bush have revealed 'The Only Way Out,' the lead single from the band's upcoming 'Man on the Run' album.
Bush have announced they will release their sixth album, 'Man on the Run,' via Zuma Rock Records on Oct. 21.
Bush frontman Gavin Rossdale will serve as a guest mentor on his wife Gwen Stefani's team on NBC's 'The Voice.'
After the success of reviving the Bush name with 2011's 'The Sea of Memories' album, frontman Gavin Rossdale and his band are now back at work on the follow-up.
Nickelback with special guests Bush, Seether and My Darkest Days will rock the Tacoma Dome in Tacoma, WA on Saturday, June 23rd and we've got your chance to win tickets.
A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush. So what's a new mp3 from Bush worth?
Fortunately, you don't have to answer that question, because the band is giving away their new single, 'All My Life,' for free. The track, due for inclusion on the band's upcoming album 'The Sea of Memories,' is being offered at the Electronic Arts website for free download.
Why EA, you ask? The partnership came about because another track from the album – which will be made available for free download on July 25 – is being featured on EA Sports' 'NHL 12.' An unusual tie-in, perhaps, but when your band has been away for the better part of a decade, you've got to try and make a splash.
While President Barack Obama was organizing a targeted operation to kill terrorist leader Osama bin Laden, it appears that former President George Bush was taking care of his own business in Texas - well, sort of.

Some Geese Have Curly Feathers
Freaky Food Truck business model exploded
There are very few sites on the matter. When adding exotic fruits to a salad, papaya, mango and Pearapple are all good choices. Grocers local to the East Coast USA have started cramming Pearapples in between the apples and pears and most come from Chile. So what's the real deal with these things? Japanese Pear, Asian Pear, Nashi Pear. These are all what's pictured. South American countries have picked up this variety and begun providing us, their northern neighbors, with the more exotic Eastern fruit.
The Pyrus pyrifolia isn't much of a mystery afterall. It's a Pearapple; or a pear that resembles an apple in shape. There is one site that scientifically tracks the cross breeding and seeding of hybrids, but it's really boring to read even though it's super-short.
The Pearapple is crispy, sweet and best when raw allegedly with the skin still on it. Peeling a Pearapple and soaking it lightly in lemon juice and water to prevent browning is best for presentation. Our three samples were smaller than the apple purchased for comparison though claims are that this fruit is, quite large and fragrant ( source ). WIKI talks more about Pearapples from Asia – again, most found locally are from Chile.
Another source to look up…
Apple pears have a sweet taste and an extremely crispy texture. Because of this, they are most commonly used raw, for example, when eaten whole with the skin intact. Apple pears are also a good addition to salads and go well when accompanied by other exotic fruits such as mangos and papaya or when combined with certain vegetables, such as cucumbers.

Apple pears are also a good addition to salads and go well when accompanied by other exotic fruits such as mangos and papaya or when combined with certain vegetables, such as cucumbers.
So while one cross-bred hybrid does exist deep in the bowels of a science lab somewhere, the Pearapple is in fact, after all, just a pear – and so called a Pearapple instead of an Applepear.
We discovered an apple tree on our farm that has a taste of pear in it. This tree very old and has not had chemicals on it for at lest 50 years maybe longer. I was wondering if it was possible for the old pear tree about 100 ft away cross pollunated with the apple tree. Anyway the fruit is amazing! We can't get enough. This was not done in a lab but here on the farm by nature in upstate NY. We live south of Elmira NY. Has anyone else discovered these amazing fruit?
The Apple Pear is a relatively new fruit to most people, although they have been grown here since the Gold Rush days, when Chinese miners planted them in the foot hills of the Sierra Nevadas. For the most part, Apple Pear varieties are round in shape with white flesh giving them the appearance and texture similar to an apple. They have a refreshing pear flavor. There is no need for store-level ripening… Apple Pears ripen on the tree and are ready to eat when harvested. The long storage life of the Apple Pear is one of its strong marketing points… they will "store" for 10 to 14 days at room temperature; three to four weeks in the crisper of a refrigerator, and up to three or four months in a commercial cold storage facility.

MADISON (WKOW) -- Rain, snow, sleet and hail aside, the blizzard forecast to hit southern Wisconsin this week may slow mail service at a crucial time of the year.
A local representative for the U.S. Postal Service says they're planning on delivery as usual, but they'll also double check on conditions Thursday morning.
Customer relations coordinator Karen Cronin says if they can't deliver mail tomorrow, they'll add extra shifts Friday and Sunday.
She says they'll do what they can to get as much mail out as possible.
"Christmas Eve is a delivery day for us as well, work as usual. So we will be able to get those packages out in time for Christmas," said Cronin.
She says it'll also help your mail carrier if you clear snow and ice from your sidewalks, stairs and mailboxes.

New District 122 school board President Nick DiSandro said communication was what he wanted to improve most when he was elected to the board last month.
Less than a week after taking a seat on the board, he's asking the board to revisit its policies in regard to public comments and board interaction with residents at meetings.
Under the school board's current policy, the board is allowed to listen to public comments but not provide feedback.
"To open the lines of communication between the board and our community, we have decided to revisit the policy and see if there isn't a better way to have an open dialogue," DiSandro said in a news release.
At last week's school board meeting, an exchange occurred that when it comes to communicating with the board members. Just after resident Phil Adair criticized the members for their lack of dialogue with the public or among themselves making decisions, resident Karen Little sought answers about raises in the district.
Former board President Kathy Markus eventually cut off Little when she continued to push for answers, saying that it's board policy to not respond to the public comments.
"I'll admit I was rather taken aback by the tone of the response I received," Little said in comments on a previous article. "I look forward to a new board with fresh leadership and a proposed commitment to more open communication."
On some occasions, the board members have responded to various comments, such as Adair's previous request to have Libery Junior High School renamed. Superintendent Mike Sass will sometimes respond to comments later in the meeting, and in this case asked public commenters to come with facts in hand.
"You have the right to your own opinions, but you don't have the right to your own facts," he said.
The board will discuss its communication policies at its next meeting, which is at 5:30 p.m. today at the . In the meantime, DiSandro asked residents with questions to email the Board of Education at firstname.lastname@example.com. All board policies, including the ones that will be under consideration (2:230 and 8:110), can be found on the school district's website.

White tents are popping up all around town and thousands of vendors are preparing to sell everything for diamonds to fossils at the Tucson Gem and Mineral Show.
Most of the shows are still a few days away but vendors are already here, unpacking and preparing their goods. Vendors like Frank Wong know the gen show means big business.
"[The Gem Show] maybe accounts for about fifty percent of our sales annually," Wong says. "So, it's really worth it for us to come out early and prepare."
Some buyers have arrived early too, hoping to get a sneak peek at what the shows have to offer. Terry Shelly has come all the way from Indiana in the hopes of getting the best minerals and fossils to take home and sell.
"If you come out early, you might get the better stuff," Shelley says. "So, I'm hoping to get to some of the vendors before they sell some of their better specimens."
Thousands more are expected to arrive for the shows downtown and a webpage has been designed to help visitors navigate. For full details visit: http://bit.ly/M1qJt7

So here's a question for the queue... I'm trying to get my explorer achievements. My map is entirely revealed, but I still haven't gotten the achievement to pop. Is there a site or addon that tells you the locations of all the points you need to discover? A list of specific coordinates would be really nice and save hours of riding in circles around greyed out areas of the map trying to get the map to reveal.
DeathPaladin said...
On the achievement menu, go to the Exploration tab, find the zone you are trying to explore, and click on it. Everything not in green still needs to be uncovered.
Helped me a lot when I was doing it, particularly with Bloodmyst, where there's one area that isn't obvious on the map because it's underwater and only shamen have any quests that go there.
The Cartographer addon has a feature called "Foglight" whereby you can colour any part of the map that you haven't explored. You'd think that the default WoW UI would be sufficient, but it isn't. There's always a tiny bit that you've missed and can't even see that you've missed.
(Got my Explorer title yesterday :D )
It's going to take patience and (preferrably an epic flyer). But it helps to use the achievement button to find out what you missed, and if you can't figure out where it is, WoW wiki generally has some info on sub zones.
Most of the tricky places to find are islands off the coast.
(Hit "the explorer" at level 77)
Missescake said...
As they've said, check your Achievements and see what zones/areas are still grayed out. Reply here with the list, and I'm sure one of us can help you out.
And I second the idea that you install the Cartographer addon, and enable Foglight. I changed the default settings to show the 'fog' of undiscovered areas to a deep purple shade with roughly 80% opacity. With Foglight turned on, it's usually very obvious what you've missed.
Good luck, and like I said, reply with the areas that are still grayed and we'll see what we can do.

Discussions slated for potential store
Dollar General construction means home demolition
By J.R. email@example.com
MIDDLETOWN -- New site plans for a proposed Dollar General store on Main Street show an updated building design, and discussions on the development are set to take place in the weeks ahead.
The national retail chain wants to build a 9,100-square-foot building on a lot at 7695 Main St. A home there -- built in 1911, according to county real estate records -- would be demolished to make way for the store.
Town Zoning Administrator Fred Wharton said that the updated plans will be submitted to Planning Commission members this week for discussion at two upcoming meetings.
Council members hold final authority on the development, which is allowed by right in the property's B1 zoning classification, but initial plans were met with concern earlier this month by the Planning Commission. Some members said the proposal clashed with the town's comprehensive plan and showed a design inconsistent with local architecture.
Updated plans add a pitched canopy to the front of the store with four columns flanking the front glass doors. Other concerns submitted by Planning Commission member Pete Heffern also were addressed.
Heffern submitted a review of the plan at a recent meeting that asks for clarification on about 30 design points, including storm drainage and erosion control.
Dollar General has asked for some exceptions to the zoning ordinance, including fewer parking spaces and the building's rear setback.
Sarah Holley, of engineering firm Gresham, Smith and Partners, submitted responses to Heffern's inquiries, and some changes were made. Sidewalks were added along the Main Street frontage, additional curb was drawn in and additional requested plans were submitted to the town, according to the response.
Heffern could not immediately be reached for comment Tuesday afternoon.
Meanwhile, proponents are attempting to drum up support. Wharton said results of a door-to-door survey are favorable to the proposal. Of 125 people asked as of Monday afternoon, 113 welcomed the chain, he said.
Wharton said he also reached out to those with town business licenses. Of the 24 that have responded, 17 were in favor.
Should the store be built, it would operate under a 15-year lease and bring about 10 jobs, he said.
"The town council has to be fiscally responsible," Wharton said. "With our budget, I can't [see] how they can turn it down."
Planning Commission members have said a thorough review is their responsibility.

This store would not only supply new taxes for the town it would bring potential customers to other stores in town supporting them as well.
Please let me correct Mr. Wharton.
By-right development refers to projects that are permitted under current zoning. GBT's current plan does not follow the B1 zoning rules and they are asking for exceptions to be made.
That is why it is on the Planning Commission's table and being held to meet the requirements of the Comprehensive Plan. So far, this proposed development has very, very many weaknesses and there has been limited cooperation by GBT. We can not arbitrarily decide to okay this proposal because it would be convenient shopping or even worse, save Middletown from its financial problems (which is being highly questioned now).
And as for the survey...
Since the interviewers are admittedly biased the survey is invalid. I have talked to some of the people surveyed who said they were misled and even bullied.
If those of you who are being so vocal want to actually be constructive, join the Comprehensive Plan update committee.
