First, let me thank you for all of your support of the Sierra Club over the past year. We've worked hard and had some great success. But, there is still much left to do. Even though the year is drawing to a close, December offers ample opportunities for you to make a difference for Wisconsin's future. Read on to find out how you can give a really meaningful gift this year!
Are you concerned about your family's drinking water safety? Manure spreading, manure spills and fish kills? Toxic ammonia and hydrogen sulfide air emissions? The loss of family farms in Wisconsin? Increased semi truck traffic on rural roads?
If so, I urge you to attend the upcoming public informational hearing on the proposed expansion (WPDES permit modification) for the Rosendale Dairy, December 3, 2009, at 5:00 pm at the Royal Ridges, 1 Westgate Drive, Ripon, WI.
If permitted, Rosendale Dairy will become the largest Confined Animal Feeding Operation (CAFO), or factory farm ever sited in Wisconsin. It will house 8,000 milking cows and 300 beef cattle on a very small area of land.
Expanding the Rosendale CAFO:
- Threatens drinking water and wetland habitats by the volume of untreated manure- 75 million gallons per year- that will be spread on vulnerable land.
Impacts air quality by emitting toxic hydrogen sulfide and ammonia
- Threatens water supplies with contamination by antibiotics and hormones.
- Puts area family farms in jeopardy by flooding the market with milk. When supply outpaces demand, the price per gallon drops precipitously.
If you are unable to attend the hearing, please send your comments to firstname.lastname@example.com by December 10, 2009.
Your action is needed to get people efficiently connected to jobs, grow new jobs, and build a cleaner, safer, energy independent future where more people can drive less (better air, less gas used, more land for nature!). Let's get the Regional Transit Authority legislation moving forward in Wisconsin! Time is very short to reach this historic milestone, and it may be our last chance for years.
We need a regional framework and dedicated funding for buses. We can't afford to wait and watch our transit system and our sustainable future crumble.
What can you do? Two things:
- Contact key legislators today and urge them to get Regional Transit Authority legislation moving forward. Ask them to remove transit from the property tax and institute a sales tax dedicated to transit so that visitors will help support transit investments. Phone calls with a personal message are the most effective. Ask to speak with the legislator, or leave a message and be sure to include your full name, address and phone number. Ask for a reply to find out what they are doing to move the RTA forward! Please let us know about your call, email, or letter!
To find your state legislators visit http://www.legis.wisconsin.gov/w3asp/waml/waml.aspx, or call 1-800-362-9472
- Attend the Upcoming Rally to Make Our Voices Heard for Transit
December 5, 1:00 PM
Veterans Memorial Park, National Avenue at 70th St. West Allis, Wisconsin.
Park on west side of Market Square parking lot (near Pick N Save) enter off National Avenue just west of 70th St.) On bus routes: 54, 76, and 18
Background and talking points:
The RTA is urgently needed now!
- Transit cuts are imminent and will hurt businesses, workers, and tax payers when people can't get to work, school, shopping, healthcare. Unemployment hurts everyone.
- An estimate by the nonprofit Center for Transit-Oriented Development projects that 15 million households will be looking to rent or to buy near transit in 2030 – up from 6 million in 2005 and totaling a quarter of all renters and buyers who will be in the market for housing. Let's be ready to tap into this exploding market.
- Modern regional transit networks reduce an individual's carbon footprint: switching a commute by auto to transit can reduce CO2 emission by 20 pounds per day per person
- Research by the Center for Transit-Oriented Development finds that walkable transit-oriented communities produce 43 percent less greenhouse gas emissions than conventional suburban development, and reduce urban sprawl that eats up habitat, open space, and farms.
We've accomplished so much this year and now legislative action on the Regional Transit Authority is urgently needed. While transit in Milwaukee, Racine, and Kenosha are quickly approaching a financial meltdown because of their antiquated funding structure, we have a unique opportunity to address these crucial issues and create a vibrant region-wide transit network of connectivity that is at the very core of sustainability and a green economy—and job growth and economic competitiveness.
Without a dedicated funding source, existing transit systems will face major service reductions that will continue year after year and cut people off from jobs and opportunity, and increase auto emissions and traffic congestion. Without adequate bus funding the KRM Commuter Rail project and other major initiatives will not pass federal muster and will be shelved along with over $100 million in federal funds to invest in building a cleaner, greener, more compact and fuel efficient regional transportation system.

With the holidays coming up, it may be hard to believe that Conservation Lobby Day- Tuesday, January 26th, 2010- is just around the corner! As a supporter of the Sierra Club, you know how important it is to communicate with our legislators about issues you care about. Last year over 500 conservationists from every part of the state shared their conservation stories with their legislators. We are very thankful to our coalition partner, the Wisconsin League of Conservation Voters, for all the work they do to coordinate this powerful and successful event.
Last February, we met with all 132 legislators on Conservation Lobby Day, asking them to support the 2009-2010 Conservation Priorities: preserving groundwater, stopping global warming in Wisconsin, restoring conservation integrity, and protecting Wisconsin's drinking water.
Our efforts have already had a huge impact on conservation policies in Wisconsin. But with only a few months left to go in the 2009-2010 legislative session, there is still much left to accomplish. Please sign up to attend Conservation Lobby Day today. We need your voice to protect Wisconsin's air, water, and wild places for future generations! Conservation Lobby Day details can be found here: http://www.conservationvoters.org/Public/index.php?custID=110 The registration page can be found here: https://www.thedatabank.com/dpg/273/personal2.asp?formid=lobbyday
One of the best gifts you can give is a membership with the Sierra Club. When you give a membership to the Sierra Club, you will have the satisfaction of knowing that you are helping to preserve irreplaceable wildlands, save endangered and threatened wildlife, solve global warming, and protect this fragile environment we call home.
In addition to helping the planet, your gift membership will also earn the recipient these exciting benefits:
Discounts on Sierra Club calendars, books, and other merchandise
After purchasing your gift membership, you can download a gift announcement (.pdf file) that you can send in the mail or take with you of you are presenting your gift in person.
If you were lucky enough to attend, you know that Sierra Club's Chippewa Valley and St Croix Valley Interstate Groups held an inspiring Autumn Assembly October 9 – 11 at the Beaver Creek Reserve. Over one hundred people attended and enjoyed all the speakers, workshops and entertainment that the weekend event had to offer.
Attendees also got a chance to camp onsite and attend early morning hikes in which they explored the 360-acre Beaver Creek Reserve. They also got a chance to see saw whet owl banding in action and an evening presentation at Hobbs Observatory. Warm clothing was essential, however, as temperatures dropped and a few snowflakes fell during the evenings.
Just a few highlights of the 2009 Autumn Assembly included the keynote speech by Dr. Michael Osterholm on the urgent need to take action on climate change, a talk by children's author Marybeth Lorbiecki on the writings of Aldo Leopold, and a talk from Wisconsin Democracy Campaign Executive Director Mike McCabe about the many reason we need to get the money out of political elections and decisions made about natural resources. Exciting workshops were held on a range of topics from Green Charter Schools to Duke Welter, who discussed his work on the Natural Resources Board.
Some of the funnest times that attendees had were the informal social hours, which provided snacks and unstructured time for people to reflect and enjoy each other's company. One of the attendees mentioned that he loved coming to our Autumn Assembly because it really emphasized the Club aspect of the Sierra Club. The food and snacks were organized and sometimes prepared by volunteers (including Carol Hardin, Caryn Treiber and Margo Miller), and they were delicious.
On Saturday evening, Chapter Chair Jim Steffens presented awards to several of the exceptional volunteers that make the difference in the John Muir Chapter's efforts to protect Wisconsin's natural resources. Jim Olson, from our Chippewa Valley Group, who has worked for years on wolf issues, received the JJ & Pat Werner award, which is given to someone who shows an undying commitment to the goals and missions of the chapter. Ron Carlson from our St. Croix Valley Interstate Group, and Dale Olen from our Great Waters Group, shared the Merit Award, for their dedicated efforts to protect the St. Croix River and the Great Lakes, respectively. Diane Dagelen received the New Activist Award for her efforts to protect monarch habitat and Milwaukee area green space. Janet Anderson from our Great Waters Group earned the Wildflower Award for her tireless work in designing inspiring educational programs. Jan & Jim Erdman from the Chippewa Valley Group received the Good Citizen Award, for their efforts to lead by example in protecting the environment with by investing in renewable energy and growing nutritious, local food. Last but not least, Kerry Thomas from Transit NOW and the coalition for transit in southeastern Wisconisn received the Torchbearer Award for all the work they have done to secure a regional transit authority in southeastern Wisconsin.
The John Muir Chapter is extremely fortunate to have so many talented volunteers who are committed to our conservation work!
On Sunday, attendees learned about the Sierra Club- John Muir Chapter's conservation campaigns before heading off to tour the Leinenkugel's historic brewery in Chippewa Falls. Members of the John Muir Chapter's Water Protection and Global Warming Teams, regional and Chapter staff talked about our recent accomplishments and future plans to reduce the threat of global warming and protect water resources in Wisconsin.
I hope you will make plans now to join us for next year's Autumn Assembly hosted by our Coulee Region Group. Next year's event will take place from October 8-10, 2010 near La Crosse- Don't miss it!

Helen Flanagan to quit?
Of course stories about cast members leaving do crop up on a fairly regular basis, but it must be hard for poor Helen who admitted herself to suffering from panic attacks for quite some time off-set to have to go through something like this at work.
She's also been on-screen a lot lately since her return and no doubt the Just Rosie spin-off was hard work for her as well so hopefully once things calm down a bit more she'll be okay because it would be a shame if the street was forced to say goodbye to such a unique and comical character.

Four words from me: Who gives a monkeys?
She is lucky to have got a regular job in a soap like Corrie with her "acting skills".
- 10 October 2011 at 07:34
Frosty - the person above you gives a monkey. And me.
- 10 October 2011 at 07:48
Frosy - here's my monkey to add to the queue!
Rosie webster is one of my favourite characters right now - she hasn't always been, admittedly, but I so think that was a problem with the writers/producers exploiting an attractive young girl.
I really hope Helen manages to deal with her panic attacks and I wish her the very best at a difficult time.

Rosie would be sadly missed. Hang in there Helen.

Rosie has never meant much to me, but I realized when she and Eileen were doing the dating site scenes, she really is very good at comedy. I laughed anyway, I mean I know her character is obnoxious, but she has this character down so well, and yeah, I think she has a flair for comedy, and that's one of Corrie's strengths.

I am another who gives a monkeys, rosies provides a bit of relief after the dullness of toxic Tracy Barlow
- 10 October 2011 at 18:51
I hope Rosie doesnt leave for good, write her out for a while a modeling school in Paris would do her character a lot of good, it would be sad to see Sallly lose a daughter.Amber was a way for a while now she back keep the young ones alive.

The sooner the better.She can't act.I can't stand her.

"Loved it" Beirut by stappm
Beirut Travel Guide: 925 reviews and 1,838 photos
Very exciting things happening in Beirut right now. I in NO WAY felt threatened by all the western media hype about Lebanon being unsafe at the moment - However I did not wear a US Flag on my T-shirt and kept a VERY low profile. There is a ton of things to see and do in Lebanon from archeology to culture. As a country I believe if they stay on the path of peace Lebanon may very well be the next IT place to go on the Medditeranean.
Rumor had it that people in Lebanon are sincerely nice and it could not have been more true. I left my cell phone in a taxi only to later find it safely returned to my hotel. I was asked to dinner (platonically) numerous times. And I accidentally left souveniers at a hotel and when I dropped back by well over a week later they were holding it for me! If that was in the states they all would have been long gone! Good people!
I enjoyed Lebanon so much I actually cut my trip to Jordan short so I could go back! The culture, the food, the history, the sea.... it is all very good! As far as being Middle East, I would consider Lebanon Middle Eastern Lite. The community, from what I saw, is very cosmopolitan, diverse, and educated. Womens rights have been taken care of..... I mean every country could perhaps do more, the US among them,.... but they are very western in that regard and I in no way felt second class due to my gender (as I have felt, very recently in fact, in other Middle Eastern countries.)
- Pros:Weather and People
- Cons:Taxi Drivers
- In a nutshell:Loved it

Can Drought Increase Total Calorie Availability? The Impact of Drought on Food Consumption and the Mitigating Effects of a Conditional Cash Transfer Program
This study uses the panel data of a randomized experiment from the Mexican PROGRESA program to evaluate the impact of drought on total calorie availability and the mitigating effects of PROGRESA on food consumption in periods of drought. Drought reduced total expenditures and total food expenditures but increased the total availability of calories. This paradox can be explained by the impact of drought on the composition of calories; that is, it reduced the consumption of expensive calories in such foods as vegetables, fruits, and animal products but increased calories consumed from cheaper sources, such as grains. This study finds that PROGRESA can completely mitigate the negative effects of drought on calorie availability from vegetables, fruits, and other sources. However, PROGRESA cannot mitigate the impact of drought on calories available from grains. The analysis also shows that, during drought, households who increase their consumption of grains get them mainly from purchased sources rather than from home production. In these circumstances, decreased total expenditures and increased purchases of grains suggest that grains are inferior goods in rural Mexico. The Engel curve analysis further proves that grains are inferior goods. (c) 2010 by The University of Chicago. All rights reserved.

Hi there! I simply want to give a huge thumbs up for the great info you have got right here on this post. I will likely be coming again to your weblog for extra soon.
Heya i am for the first time here. I came across this board
and I find It truly useful & it helped me out a lot.
I hope to give something back and aid others like you aided me.
Once you slip the papers inside, dipping the cookies in melted pastel candy
coating will make for an easy yet adorable shower gift for guests.
Gift baskets serve as a suitable gift for any occasion, and for Christmas, appropriate inclusions inside the gift basket are foods such as chocolates
or other sweets, baked items, gourmet goodies or a bottle of wine.
Three of the liberal judges and one of the conservative
judges felt that both displays violated the separation between Church and State.

I used Remington Core-Lokt 170gr JRN.
Initially (using a "Predator" rifle rest) it took me 5 shots just to get the thing on paper. I had to keep moving the target closer and closer until at 20 yards(?!?) I finally ticked the edge of the target. Let me tell you I was starting to get a little concerned when I hit 20 yards and still didn't know where the hell the rifle was hitting!
From there out it was pretty simple to center the scope and then run it out to 50 yards. A couple of "fine tune" shots from the bench and then I decided to try just my arms braced on the table and that target previously posted was the result.
It certainly confirmed what the shop guy thought. His opinion was that some idiot bought the gun, went straight out hunting (without ever zeroing the gun) and couldn't hit anything. So said idiot decided the gun was crap and sold it and it wound up at the shop where I bought it. He said he gets LNIB guns every year during hunting season for exactly the same reason.

There were a couple of articles written several years back (five or more now, I think) about how and why a .30-30 lever action carbine made a good patrol rifle for a LE vehicle. One was written by the then-head of the S&W Academy; I forget who wrote the other - Gabe Suarez or Mas Ayoob perhaps. I'll see if I can dig up links via the Wayback Machine.

Great post, Dave.
JNewell, hope you can find those articles. I'll search a bit myself...
Glad I raised this issue. Very interesting reading.

GR practice
I just learned something hugely important (for me, at least) about using ghost ring sights in particular and pointing long guns in general.
I've been trying to do "pointing practice" lately, mostly with the 336 since I'm trying to get to know how to use GRs. It's a challenge for me because I'm cross eye dominant: right handed, but left eye dominates the image field. I grew up closing my left eye and sighting with my right to compensate (no one ever taught me differently ... mostly learned how to shoot on my own by trial and error since no one in my family was a shooter ... ).
So, learning to use GRs with both eyes open has been challenging. For some reason that I don't completely understand , keeping both eyes open is easier for me with handguns (shorter sight radius?), and even with my shotgun - with the latter, I'm paying attention ONLY to front bead and pointing instead of aiming. The barrel just goes where it needs to go.
But with the GR on the 336, there's that extra element of the rear "ghosted" ring. There's more thing to line up in a longer sight radius.
So, I've been practicing. Unloaded gun (triple checked); 4 rules of gun safety (check); safety on (check). And, I'm not dry firing, just pointing.
From upstairs, I point the rifle at an object ~100 m away in the sand lot across the street (no buildings beyond, lots of gravel berms (land fill material). I focus on the object. I see two front sights, one with my left eye, one with my right. (I was surprised to learn that at even this 50-something age, I didn't know that intuitively.)
It's taken me a while to become comfortable with the fact that the left front sight image (FSI) is produced by my left eye. I figured that out by trial and error by putting the left FSI on the target and closing my right eye; when I do, the barrel is correctly aligned with the target.
So, now, I'm practicing the following drill (and will continue to do so until it's second nature):
1) Bring rifle up to shoulder and point in general direction of target, focusing on target.
2) Immediately acknowledge that I see two FSI: one left, one right.
3) Put the left FSI on the target.
4) Repeat 20 times, first with the same target, then shift to a different target.
It's not second nature, yet, but I'm feeling more comfortable with it. It's a little like learning to see again using the same sensory organs, but interpreting the image differently, breaking old habits.
If anyone, especially GR users have any tips, I'm reading.

Hmmm... interesting. I'm just gonna throw this out there. Nem, you mention having "more things to line up" and that makes me wonder if you've got the hang of using ghost rings yet. You need to make sure you're not trying to align the front sight with the rear. Allow it to become a blur and let your brain center the top of the front post within the circle. Focus on the front sight. Do not focus on the target, unless you are point shooting (typically a handgun technique, not long gun). Focus on that front sight, and just "notice" that it is positioned correctly on the target.
If you go to an optical sight, then you have a single focal plane to deal with. When using a ghost ring you have two. As with a handgun, it is "front sight, Press!" (obvious Cooperism there)
P.S. -- the above concerns practical marksmanship, not target shooting accuracy. Long range shooters using iron sights would likely give different advice, possibly including closing one eye.

OK, so when I do that, I get one front sight image (of course) and two out-of-focus but recognizable target images. Same trick as before resolves it: use the left image.
Practice, practice, practice ...

This just in ...
I wrote the above yesterday from memory after having practiced focusing on the target instead of the front sight.
As it turns out, it's wrong: when I focus on the front sight, I indeed do see two targets. But the "real one" (the one I need to put the front sight on) is the right-hand one, not the left.
Hmmm... this is gonna take a lot of practice to get used to it. After a lifetime of sighting with left eye closed, old habits die hard ...

From what I gather you are left eye dominant and shooting right handed, correct?
More than a few members at the club have that same issue and have either trained themselves to shoot rifles left handed or close the off dominant eye.
If my understanding is correct try aiming the rifle lefty with both eyes open. My guess is that the sight picture will now be as it should be. GR sights are by definition easy to use. If you are struggling with the sight picture, that would be an indication of something out of whack.

Not optimal, perhaps, nor "the way it's supposed to be done", but ... oh, well.

the hunt without zeroing thing
Z Spec, I was on a hunt a few years ago when a member of the hunt came in after a long day comlaining his rifle was shooting eratically and inaccurately. I asked him about how it shot before he brought it on the hunt and he said he could easily hit Coyotes at over 100 yards. I asked if he had done anything recntly and he said all I did was install the scope. I asked how he boresighted it and he said HUH! I took the bolt out, rested it on the seat of a 4 wheeler, looked thru the bore and at 100 yards it was about 5 feet off! I removed and replaced the scope after rezeroing the reticles and got it after shimming to real close, then set the reticles on a small leaf on the bankof the dry river bed. After three shots I was able to hit the leaf at 100 yards away and he was happy. I still to this day can't beleive someone takes a rifle out without zeroing the scope and trys to hunt with it!

I finally got out to shoot the 336A last night. Just a few rounds to be able to say I shot it. I need to spend more time with it to see what it can do. It just felt good to go out and shoot.

I am new here but have been a "336 Club" member since 1982, and I am now in the "Multiple 336 Club". I have other guns that cost me well over $3000 each, but my 336's are my favorites. Me and my 1983 336T.
Here is my newest 336. It is a SS model that I converted from pistol grip to straight grip and added a WWG trigger.

Just back from a camping trip in Ponderosa pine heaven, where the pines meet the sagebrush sea called "the Great Basin desert", where a clear shot = 200 yds, with more deer sign (tracks & scat) than one can imagine.
Nice to see the club still recoiling along.
Sniper, keyword = boresight, eh?
Dbernie, nice to read a good report on shooting the A for the first time. Here's to more.
Dadams, welcome! Great to have you over here, too. Interesting that the gun in my vest pocket during the entire camping trip was my ... oh, you know. More on that another day in another thread.
Retrieverman, welcome in. I've read your posts over in Marlin Owners Forums.
(Recognized your images from there.)
OK, time for sleep in a real bed (after 6 nights on a sleeping pad in a minimalist tent, even if - given the choice - I'd still be sleeping on the sleeping pad in a minimalist tent under a half moon peaking through the Ponderosas...)

Please consider a donation to THR to help stop outages
Well, we're back on line after a LONG weekend of THR being down on a holiday weekend that I did not have off (since I took my "vacation" last week), so I was stuck in the studio all weekend with no THR.
Glad we're back up. Another DOS attack. Details of the most recent attack here. (Other threads in technical support chronicle the previous attacks over the last few months.)
Want to help solve that problem? Please make a donation to THR to help our webmaster, Derek Zeenah, solve the problem.
Thanks. Glad to be back.
9, .22, .30-30, blades & sticks. Fun.

"For a decent article on the 32 Win.sp go here: www.gmdr.com/lever/32wstext.htm. This is mostly about the cartridge, but mention of Marlin & Winchester being producers of rifles in that caliber is made."
notice in the article it says " 32special is a small game or minimal deer Cartrige" Ha Ha.

Retrieverman how did you do the straight grip swap on your 336? It also looks like you changed out the lever for one off of a 1894. What work is required and how much did it cost?

Whoops, misread the post above - I went from straight to PG, but the process is the same
I'm not Retrieverman but I did that on an 1895 GG with great results. You need a PG buttstock and a new triggerplate and finger lever (both PG type). The rub is that when I did it Marlin had stopped selling the triggerplate and finger lever to consumers. I think I got them from Numrich. BTW, that's all the parts I bought, but you need to move the trigger parts to the new triggerplate.
To me, the recoil is much easier to manage with the PG stock. YMMV.

My conversion did not cost me a penny. I traded parts with a guy that wanted a pistol grip gun. The parts came off a 336 LTD SS 35 Rem and fit perfectly. I don't know for sure, but I have been told that Marlin charges $250 to do a conversion. As much as I like mine, it would not be worth $250 to me. JNewell is correct, and all that is needed is a trigger plate and a stock.
I took the opportunity to install a WWG trigger while I had my gun apart, and in my opinion, it is the best "upgrade" that can be done on a Marlin levergun.

I am seriously considering replacing my Talley mounts with a XS Lever Rail, so I can switch between a conventional scope set and a scout set up. I put one on my 1895GS this afternoon and really like it.

add me to the list!
Picked a 336W off the shelves of a pawn shop I was browsing yesterday. Seems to be mint and for $280 I couldn't resist. Always wanted a lever action and I think I picked the right one!
I am wondering though the best way to put a butt stock holder on. Make a slit to go through the swivel and stich around? Just go over the sling? I've seen both done in previous posts.

Rihanna will be doing a duet with Beyonce
Rihanna, star of 'S&M' will be doing a duet with Beyonce, star of 'Run the World' that will be included in Beyonce's album coming out in June.
Rihanna has been wanting to do a duet with Beyonce for a while. Rihanna and Beyonce reportedly discussed working together at the backstage of this year's Grammy Awards and have managed to set aside time in their busy schedules to record together. The duet song will be featured in Beyonce's new album, along with her most recent single, 'Run the World', that will be coming out in June.
Rihanna and Beyonce's duet song is expected to hit the top of the charts. A close source to Beyonce told website, M is for Music that "[the song] will be a number one smash hit for sure." Of course, we shouldn't expect anything less of the two R&B music artists considering both of their achievements in the R&B music world.
Beyonce is most notable for having been awarded 16 Grammy Awards- three of which were awarded to her when she was a member of Destiny's Child and thirteen which she won during her solo career. In particular, Beyonce's third album, 'I am... Sasha Fierce' landed her six Grammy Awards breaking the record of the most Grammy Awards won by a female artist in one night.
Comparatively, Rihanna is also accomplished as well in her own right considering the short amount of time she has been in the industry. Rihanna's most recent accomplishment was that her single, 'S&M' reached No. 1 on the Billboard hot 100 singles chart making it her tenth No. 1 hit. According to Billboard, Rihanna broke several records in the process. Rihanna, 23 is now the youngest artist to have ten No. 1 songs as well as the ninth artist to achieve this accomplishment. Furthermore, Rihanna's milestone also marks the shortest span between a solo artist's first and 10th No. 1s for a length of four years, 11 months and two weeks.
Meanwhile, while we wait in anticipation for Rihanna and Beyonce's duet, you can still see Rihanna in her concert. Visit charged.fm (http://www.charged.fm/

Merry Christmas, Splat!
I am Splat's newest fan! A cat with a pet mouse?! How cute is that!!?? Our Media Specialist read this story to my kids today. It ends with Splat getting a present. He opens it and says, "It's the best Christmas present ever!" However, it doesn't show what the present is. CLICK! That was my little idea light bulb going off in my head :-) So, I created this FREEBIE! We talked about what we thought might be the present ever and then we talked about what Splat might think is the best present ever! You could have them complete this from either point of view. One form I left out the high frequency words that my kiddos should know by now. The other I filled them in.....just in case you needed a little more!

LSU plans to honor Bertman
Published: Tuesday, March 30, 2010 at 8:30 p.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, March 30, 2010 at 4:30 p.m.
BATON ROUGE — LSU will honor former baseball coach and athletic director Skip Bertman on Saturday during "Skip Bertman Day" at Alex Box Stadium.
Before the 4 p.m. LSU-Georgia game, Bertman's jersey No. 15, which was retired in 2001 and displayed in the original Alex Box Stadium, will be unveiled on the grandstand fascia of the new Alex Box Stadium.
In 18 seasons (1984-2001) as LSU's baseball coach, Bertman guided LSU to five NCAA titles. He also served as head coach of the 1996 U.S. Olympic team which captured the bronze medal in Atlanta.
Bertman has been inducted into the College Baseball Hall of Fame, the Louisiana Sports Hall of Fame and the American Baseball Coaches Association Hall of Fame.

Curious headline at the moment: "George Michael says cannabis keeps him sane," to which all I can say is, "!"

RAPID CITY — An Arizona man who disappeared 17 years ago while serving a federal sentence at a South Dakota halfway house has been sentenced to 1 ½ years in federal custody.
Federal marshals found 55-year-old Steven Durant in Arizona last September. The Rapid City Journal reports that court documents indicate he had created a new identity using the birth certificate of a dead child from Mitchell.
Durant was sentenced in 1992 to 6 ½ years in federal custody on a weapons charge. He walked away from Community Alternatives of the Black Hills in Rapid City in March 1997.
The U.S. Attorney's Office says Durant will spend three years on supervised release following his newest sentence.

I am trying to install a WP app to my hosted domain using Duplicator (0.2.9) and it is failing somewhere after the "Pre-Checks Completed" step. No further status updates are displayed and eventually the script just stops.
Before starting the install I emptied the host directory and cleared my browser cache. Also confirmed that I have plenty of available disk space. The Duplicator database connection test worked successfully.
I don't know if this is a clue but, after the install.php aborts, the ZIP is expanded on the host and the expanded wp-config.php is still showing the DB login credentials from my local environment rather than the ones I entered into the install.php form for my hosted environment.
The last entry in the log reads:

Any ideas are appreciated. Thank you!

- Summary of colon cancer screening
Introduction to colon cancer screening and surveillance
The colon, also known as the large intestine or large bowel, constitutes the last part of the digestive tract. The colon is a long, muscular tube that receives still-undigested food from the small intestine. It removes water from the undigested food, stores it and then finally eliminates it from the body as stool or feces through bowel movements. The rectum is the last part of the colon adjacent to the anus through which stool passes to the outside.
Cancer of the colon and rectum (colorectal cancer) is a type of malignant tumor arising from the inner wall of the large intestine. These malignant tumors are called cancers and can invade nearby tissue and spread to other parts of the body. Benign tumors of the colon are usually called polyps. Benign polyps do not invade nearby tissue or spread to other parts of the body like malignant tumors do. Benign polyps can be removed easily during colonoscopy and are not life threatening. However, if benign polyps are not removed from the large intestine, they can become malignant over time. In fact, most of the cancers of the large intestine are believed to have evolved from benign polyps that are pre-cancerous, that is, they are benign at first but later become cancerous.
Colorectal cancer will be found in at nearly 135,00 patients this year and will result in about 50,000 deaths in the U.S. It is the second most common cause of cancer death in the USA behind lung cancer. It is the third most common cancer in both men and women.
Cancer of the colon and rectum can invade and damage adjacent tissues and organs. Cancer cells also can break away and spread to other parts of the body (such as the liver and lung) where new tumors grow. The process whereby colon cancer spreads to distant organs is called metastasis, and the new tumors are called metastases. Direct extention to or invasion of adjacent organs is a sign of a more advanced cancer, and the chance of cure in the treatment of a cancer which has directly extended into an adjacent tissue is less, even with surgery, as hidden cancer cells may also have spread elsewhere. If a colon or rectal cancer is found to have spread through the lymph channels to adjacent lymph nodes, it is increasingly likely that even the removal of the portion of the colon and lymph nodes will not cure the patient. Finding lymph node metastases can indicate that undetectable microscopic cancer cells may be more likely to still be present elsewhere in the body. If the cancer spreads through the blood stream to the liver, lungs, bones, or other organs, or through lymph channels to distant lymph nodes then it is unlikely that a permanent complete cure will be able to be obtained with treatment.
Colorectal cancer is both preventable and curable when found early. Colorectal cancer is prevented by removing precancerous colon polyps. It is cured if cancerous change is found early and is surgically removed before the cancer cells spread to other parts of the body. The National Polyp Study showed in its surveillance program that individuals who had their polyps removed experienced a 90% reduction in the incidence of colorectal cancer. The few patients in the study who did develop colorectal cancer had their cancer discovered at early, surgically or endoscopically curable stages. Since most colon polyps and early cancers are silent (produce no symptoms), it is important to do screening and surveillance for colon cancer in patients without symptoms or signs of the polyps or cancers. Recommendations for cost-effective public screening and surveillance have been promulgated and endorsed by numerous societies including the American Cancer Society, the National Cancer Institute, American College of Gastroenterology, American Medical Association, American College of Physicians, etc.

Kendall Jenner in RES Denim Gettin Hi Jeans in The Shining
Kendall Jenner braved the snow while leaving her hotel in New York to head to her ride. The model chose a pair of the RES Denim Gettin Hi Jeans in The Shining with some high top sneakers and a Proenza Schouler sweater. She then finished her look off with a beanie and her favorite Givenchy bag.
Kendall is quite the fan of high waisted styles. I would even say that she was a fan of them before her sisters started wearing them frequently. They are a style that I find suit her very well, like this pair here. What do you think of the high rise style on Kendall? You can click here to purchase these jeans from REVOLVE for $130.

Garden Tomato Toner lists alcohol as the second ingredient, which makes this toner too drying and irritating for all skin types. Alcohol also causes free-radical damage and collagen breakdown, which goes against what the antioxidants in this toner do to benefit your skin. This also contains citrus peel oils that contain irritating components that cause further damage. Ouch!
Tomato, cucumber and parsley extracts help to clean and tighten pores, leaving skin smoother and firmer. They're blended with sugar cane, sugar maple and bilberry extract, natural Alpha Hydroxy Acids (AHAs), to help boost skin's elasticity and accelerate exfoliation. This formula is recommended for normal to oily skin.
Water, Alcohol Denat., Glycerin, Cucumis Sativus (Cucumber) Fruit Extract, Camellia Sinensis (Green Tea) Leaf Extract, Carum Petroselinum (Parsley) Extract, Solanum Lycopersicum (Tomato) Fruit Extract, Vaccinium Myrtillus (Bilberry) Extract, Saccharum Officinarum (Sugar Cane) Extract, Acer Saccharum (Sugar Maple) Extract, Citrus Aurantium Dulcis (Orange) Peel Oil, Citrus Medica Limonum (Lemon) Peel Oil, Fragrance
Strengths: Inexpensive.
Weaknesses: Many products have potent fragranced formulas; several formulas packaged in jars, which compromises their ingredients.
With humble beginnings in the town of Bangor, Maine, Burt's Bees is a brand focused on natural-themed, earth-friendly skincare. Unfortunately, in many cases, this also translates to less than beneficial formulas as not all of the natural ingredients used are helpful for skin.
Many of the plant extracts and oils used in these products, including orange oil, cinnamon oil, clove oil, lemon oil, eucalyptus oil, pine tar, alcohol, lime oil, and balsam peru, are problematic for skin and present a significant risk of irritation or a sensitizing reaction. Both the intriguing philosophy and inexpensive products are attractive, but it takes more than that to establish reliable products that are good for skin. It's also important to consider the potential benefit (or potential harm) of the ingredients used.
There are some formulas to consider among the brand's offerings, but some to be wary of—see our individual reviews on Burt's Bees products for more details.

Guests can spend $10 for polio
vaccines to protect 17 children, or $37 for a baby scale.
celebrate the arrival of our first child, we hope that, in his name,
other less privileged children in the world can have their basic needs
covered through gifts and donations," reads a message from the
35-year-old Colombian superstar, a goodwill ambassador for the UN
children's agency, and Pique.
"Thank you for sharing this unforgettable
moment with us."

Modern Warfare 2 Shifted 4.7m Copies in North America & the UK in its First Day
Written Thursday, November 12, 2009 By Dan WebbView author's profile
It astonishes me to see how quickly games are becoming mainstream, despite still being looked down on by certain tiers in the social structure. It's like the kid at school who was a social recluse who used to make fires in the wood and burn small animals in it, but as he got older, wiser, more mature and richer, he started to become liked.
Why am I chatting shit you ask? Because today Activision released a few internal figures regarding the Modern Warfare 2 release and it's frankly mindblowing. It triggers that sort of retrospective glance... for me anyway.
Activision today announced that in North America and the UK alone, Modern Warfare 2 sold approximately 4.7 million copies in its first day. Across the US, 10,000 retail outlets held midnight openings to meet the consumer demand and it helped Activision accrue a first day opening of $310 million. Not bad for a day's work, right?
The impressive sales will no doubt carry on from here throughout the Christmas and 2010; and with new maps and downloadable content hopefully on the way, Activision could be hitting the $1 billion mark in revenue in no time whatsoever... from one game.

LAS VEGAS (April 8, 2013)--Luke Bryan, 36, pulled off an amazing upset and won entertainer of the year at the CMAs Sunday night.
Bryan beat out some of country music's top winners, including two-time winner Taylor Swift, in an upset that few would have predicted.
The Georgia native recently began headlining his first arena tour and was the co-host of this year's show.
After an emotional speech, co-host Blake Shelton held Bryan up and joked that he won in his "first and last year as co-host" of the awards.
Bryan is the first male winner of the award since 2007 when Kenny Chesney won the first fan-voted award.
Swift and Underwood have won two apiece since then.

I have in the end decided to get the D800 and should be available in Tokyo in April for a shoot out against any of the 40 mp class backs. :-) whatever comes out it should be good fun!
Interesting. Why the D800 and not the E version? I am just curious because I am having hard time to decide myself.
- I still have philosophical doubts about the relevance of capturing images that can mathematically not be a faithful reproduction of the scene due to the presence of false colors and false details,
I believe van Gogh had similar concerns.
there are widespread concerns about video on AA filter less devices
A few reasons:- I don't believe the small extra resolution is worth the extra time required to deal with moire. I know that I will not have the time to scan images for moire and will end up finding it after printing large images which will generate a significant cost,- Since I intend to keep stitching anyway, this extra detail is even more irrelevant,- The difference of price in Japan is nearly 600 US$ which corresponds to the money I just spent on a Sigma 8mm circular fisheye which I find to be much better value,- I still have philosophical doubts about the relevance of capturing images that can mathematically not be a faithful reproduction of the scene due to the presence of false colors and false details,- I intend to use the D800 for video also and there are widespread concerns about video on AA filter less devices (unconfirmed so far though),- For family reasons, I need this camera quickly and the 3 weeks early shipment of the D800 will actually make a difference for me,- Finally I know from my D3x experience that proper sharpening manages to remove most of the initial softness one can feel when opening images in a suitable raw converter,We may find out that Nikon did an outstanding job with moire control on the D800E and that there really are no issues with moire. Worth case I'll get one in a few months as a back up. Cheers,Bernard
... how a signal can have it's vertical resolution diminished in one instance, then restored in the next instance. I'm curious as to what's actually taking place here. Can anyone elaborate?
Very wise decision, Bernard . A major advantage of the lack of an AA filter in MFDBs was the reduced cost of a system that was already ridiculously expensive. However, the D800E has no such advantage. The cost of a lack of an AA filter is greater. One is paying more for an absence of something. Sounds a bit crazy to me .
Here's a question that I would like somebody to address: WOuld it be possible for, say, a high-end filter maker to make a blurring filter that would fit on the end of the a lens, that would have the same effect as an AA filter? So that you could buy a D800E and add a filter if you thought it was necessary?
... the photographer is smart enough to know that moving closer or farther away will remove the unfortunate frequency.
I have philosophical doubts about anyone who has philosophical doubts concerning the ethics of inducing false colours and false details by using a camera without an AA filter and yet who champions stitching.
That actually is an interesting comment worth discussing in depth but I will unfortunately not have enough time today.There is in fact in my view key philosophical differences between:- an image whose every pixel is potentially nothing but a digital artifact even if the macro image looks real,- an image blurred because of an AA filter,- an image whose corners are blurred because of the limitations of a lens,- a stitched image with possible stitching artifacts,- an image blurred because of slow shutter speed,- an image blurred because of poor optics,
But I do apologize for the usage of arrogant words like "philosophy"! :-) nonetheless, this philosophical argument is only one of the reasons why my next DSLR is probably going to be a D800.
Bernard, no need for apologies, I hope you enjoy your new camera.
As indicated by Nikon's illustration herehttp://www.dpreview.com/previews/nikonD800/page3.aspthe beam is split by one filter layer and then reunited by another. Talk of "diminished resolution" is misleading --- it is just that the light from one point is temporarily spread over several locations, which is similar to the state of the light from a single point on the subject as it travels through a lens before reaching the focal plane. The strange and somewhat costly split-reunite strategy is, I am guessing, in order to keep as much of the optical path and design the same in the two models, to avoid having to make other more expensive design changes in what is expected to be a far lower volume alternative. And that "lower volume" is the most obvious explanation for the price difference.

Is there any way to watch specific Final Fantasy XIII cutscenes after finishing the game? Some of them are extremely well rendered and I would love to watch them again, but I really don't have the time to replay the game in order to do that.
In similar fashion to most other Final Fantasy games, there is no way to simply watch the cutscenes on your console after finishing the game. Short of saving before every cutscene, no method exists to replay them without replaying the entire game.
However, many of the cutscenes are posted on YouTube, and are available in 720p (HD) quality.

Released: Jul 16th, 2007
Running Time: 86 Min.
Director: Jon Yuma
Company: American Xcess
Cast: Aya Holmes, Rebecca Lord, Isabella Camille, Victoria Knight, Bobbie Barrington, Goldie McHorn, Jessica Drake, Silvia Saint, Phoenix Ray
Critical Rating: AAA 1/2
Genre: Specialty
A parade of beautiful women jill off for the camera, and you get a ringside seat. Director Jon Yuma presents seven scenes of steamy solos, most of them with a "hot girls in hot rods" theme. Jessica Drake starts with a slow, stylish finger-fuck in a Euro convertible, followed by Isabella Camille riding a Sybian. Phoenix Ray rides topless through a sunroof, while Victoria Knight washes — and then practically fucks — her sexy red car, rubbing and licking it as she soaks herself with the hose.
The camerawork is excellent, with loving close-up focus on moist slits and probing toys, and the ladies look terrific (especially Aya Holmes in a red vinyl number that matches the car), but the style over substance emphasis makes the action fall flat.
Much is made of Goldie McHorn's "special appearance," but really she's just posing on the car hood during the end credits.
Retailing: This car-themed solo title has plenty of polish.

For my personal website, I wanted to make a webpage for every error that could come up on an Apache web server - so that it could fit in better with the style of the website instead of the generic Apache messages. As far as I know, the only way to do that would be to create individual webpages for all 50-some error codes, and individual ErrorDocument entries for each one of those. Is there a way to handle them dynamically (I.e. redirect all errors to a webpage with the error code as a GET/POST value)?
The best way is to create one
Then on that page, you can configure different processes or responses, depending on the
For the specific situation of the 500 errors, consider that those are server errors, so even when you have an
