I just got my CA boots today. I wear a 10.5 in shoes, and I ordered a 10 after the guy told me they tend to run a half size large. These fit perfectly! One thing I noticed right away is that there is hardly any grip to them. I walked out into my kitchen and immediately slipped. :P Fetthunter was right though, I have to learn to walk funny with these toe spikes on. Sort of walk like normal, but stop rolling my foot about half way through. So I have some questions:
1) This is some pretty soft outer material, softer than I was expecting. What is the consensus on weathering these things? Dusting with black and doing brush touch-ups?
2) This is a question that I'm more immediately concerned with. I've seen photos of the ankle spats actually attached to the boots in some manner. I assume that people that do this just dab a little shoe-goo onto the front of the spat to lock in place? Is this even the most popular way of wearing the spats? I've seen both ways: attached and separate, but it seems to me that the separate spats would slip around. Which way is best?

Firefox came out with another update in May 2005 shortly after one in April. Just after Secuna security found two exploits in the FireFox browser that affected version 1.0.3 and below they discovered more flaws the weekend of May the 9th and Mozilla patched the following Monday. Good job, guys.
The two nastier vulnerabilities are the Cross Site Scripting which can be used to steal information on you and your online accounts, and remote system access which allows the hackers to potentially take control of your system.
If you're a FireFox user, make sure you have this update. You can check for it by opening up your FireFox browser and going to "Help" then "About". You should easily see what version you are currently using in the bottom window of the splash screen. If you do need to update then open up Firefox and select Tools/Options/Advanced then open up "Updates" and choose the option Software Updates/Check Now. You will have to restart your browser and be a little patient but that's all there is to it.
Just a couple more things that may help you to stay a little more secure:
1. If you're a big fan of the FireFox extensions or plug-ins, make sure you get them from Mozilla's site—you know you can trust the content there.
Stay safe out there,
~ Chad

The 18th-ranked North Carolina men's tennis team opens the 2013 dual match season Saturday with a doubleheader at Cone-Kenfield Tennis Center against Wofford and Gardner-Webb.
UNC Associate Athletic Communications Director Dave Lohse sat down Wednesday with Tar Heel head coach Sam Paul as Carolina prepares for the openers on Saturday. UNC will meet Wofford at 10 a.m. and Gardner-Webb at 5 p.m. as Coach Paul begins his 20th year at the helm of the Tar Heel ship.
UNC Athletic Communications: What is it that makes this team special relative to teams in the past?
Head Coach Sam Paul: One, they've great job academically. That relates to discipline and hard work. That's the fundamental basis of being a good team. This has been a fun group to be around. I know that Tripp and I have enjoyed coaching this team. Certainly, we've had a lot of personnel turnover since last year but our veterans have been focused and it's always exciting to help new kids in your program improve and mature as both tennis players and student-athletes.
Certainly, we will have our challenges. This will be a very demanding schedule that our kids will face. But in the long run, I think playing a good non-conference schedule always helps us. While we may not have as many players as we'd like with significant collegiate experience, I still think we have a chance to be successful. A lot will depend on the chemistry we develop over the next couple of months and staying healthy. I know our guys are ready for those challenges.
UNC Athletic Communications: What are the strengths of some of this year's newcomers?
Head Coach Sam Paul: Brett Clark had a very good fall as freshman and goes into the spring season ranked in the Top 60. He's got an all-around game. He's played well in singles and doubles. He's an all-court player. Maik Ulrich's arrival this spring gives us a strong left-handed presence on the team. It's always good to have a lefty. He's our first since Taylor Fogleman. He's a solid baseliner and will present challenges for our opponents. Nelson Vick had a great fall. Nelson is a great competitor and a hard worker. He's got an all-court game. He's a workhorse, a true warrior. Stuart DePaolo has a powerful groundstroke game. He's a bulldog, a tenacious competitor.
UNC Athletic Communications: What is it about this school and this program that's so unique?
Head Coach Sam Paul: Honestly, this school sells itself. North Carolina is such a great school academically that I think that's the first draw for recruits. If you look at our facilities, we've done really well with our facilities and we have great academic support.
Obviously, we have Tripp Phillips as our assistant coach and that is a major plus for our program. Tripp is a former player here who had a lot of success on the professional tour and is one of the best coaches in the country and I include both head coaches and assistant coaches in that group.
I would say the UNC tennis program offers the entire package: our facilities, our academics, our staff, the kind of schedule we play and everything else that helps a player prove himself as the best player he can possibly be - all those things can be found here in Chapel Hill. I think that's been true for decades and I think it continues to be true.
UNC Athletic Communications: How does your pro coaching experience and working with players who have gone on to have successful pro careers made you a better college coach?
Head Coach Sam Paul: I was very fortunate to be here when Don Johnson was training for 13 years and got to go to pro tournaments with him on a regular basis. That was a great educational experience for me as a head coach. To translate that back to the current players, I'm trying to get those players to reach that level. I am trying to get our current to understand they achieve at that level.
The more that you're seeing that level consistently, how hard they train, the top training techniques in the world, and you're constantly learning-it's just an invaluable teaching tool. Don came back after he graduated and decided he was going to go pro. He didn't have a great junior year in college when he changed from a two-handed to one-handed backhand and had about a .500 record playing No. 1 singles. Two years later, however, he's playing in the U.S. Open.
I watched his entire maturation in the pros from being happy to be in the U.S. Open to being seeded and having the expectation to win it. It's the same thing with Tripp Phillips. When he started out, he was nervous about being in the U.S. Open and then all of a sudden he's playing semifinal matches in Arthur Ashe Stadium. That's a big deal. I saw all of that, and that education-the pressure, the training, and the mental game-helped develop my coaching skills and philosophy.
Nick Monroe came to North Carolina in 2000 and honestly, at that point, he had limited junior tennis resume. But he knew Carolina was the place for him and through hard work and mental toughness he developed into an All-America and a Patterson Medal winner. Nick continued to train in Chapel Hill after he graduated and now, several years later, he's developed a game that has led to him being one of the top-ranked doubles players in the world.
When you look at the college careers of Johnson, Phillips and Monroe, you might not have suspected they would turn into the pro players they did. But all three had a common will to win at the highest level. It's exciting that I've now been privileged to coach players competing in Grand Slam events in three different decades.
UNC Athletic Communications: Players consistently describe you as competitive and passionate. How do those characteristics make you a more effective coach?
Head Coach Sam Paul: Well I think you've got to study the game, and study it every day. Why do I have a big screen TV here in my office? It's not just for my office but to help the players study their games, give them a convenient place to study video. I love the game of tennis, and I want to give them everything we possibly can while they're here. It's not always an easy sport to coach, so you're always looking for ways to make a bigger impact for your players. That's what has kept me in the sport-I've been coaching for 30 years now. I love helping our student-athletes and our players be the best possible people they can be.
UNC Athletic Communications: If the tennis coaching days at Carolina ever come to an end, what would you desire your legacy to be?
Head Coach Sam Paul: What I would say first is that the players and student-athletes had a great experience while they were here and wanted to come back and continue to be a part of the program. We've had lots of players go on to lead very successful lives, the majority of them not in tennis, but they always feel like they're part of the program. For example, I look at the eight seniors in the Class of 2008. They went to two Final 16s as players. Seven of those players graduated from Carolina with 3.0 grade point averages or better. As of today, all eight of them have a master's degree, are getting a master's degree or are in law school. When you look at those statistics, how much prouder could I be as a head coach? That group epitomizes what Carolina athletics is.
For example, 40 of my former players came to my wedding a few years ago, and I have a tremendous amount of pride that they always want to be a part of the program and come back. I think we can learn life lessons through our tennis program-how to be competitive, how to get knocked down and get back up, how to deal with adversity, how to be the best you can be, how you can have your own goals and then work and strive to reach those goals. All of those things are what I would say can have a real impact on people's lives. Those examples would be a great gift to me as my coaching legacy here.

About IsraelView a map of Israel wineries Israel
Quite possibly the region where wine was first drunk (or close to the region), Israel is not on the top of most lists for best wine regions. In fact, the conditions in the country are perfect for growing grapes, but reasons such as money, inexperience and apathy have kept the area from becoming a world-wide wine region. That said, Israel makes some top-notch wines and the amount of vine area continues to increase.
Notable Facts
In the late 1800's, Baron Edmond de Rothschild gave a generous donation to wine making in Israel. He also sent over some French grapes, including Carignan, Chenin Blanc and Muscat. These grapes are found growing throughout the country. There are five main regions in Israel, the two best known being Galilee and Samaria. The region with the most wineries and wine potential is Galilee. Within Galilee lies Golan Heights, both a sub-region and a company. As a sub-region, Golan Heights has perfect altitude and soils to grow international varieties and the wines coming out of the region are excellent. As a company, Golan Heights exports the most wine out of Israel including Yarden, Gamla and Golan. Other notable producers include Recanati,Tishbi and Barkan. These producers are making wines that are dry, complex and high-quality.

Years of Potential Life Lost (YPLL)
The years of potential life lost (YPLL) calculation estimates the number of life years lost to premature deaths. Similar to life expectancy, YPLL is a good measure of the overall health of an area. Like most federal and state agencies, Missouri uses age 75 as the benchmark for YPLL calculations. Unlike many other health statistics, YPLL places additional emphasis on deaths of younger residents. For example, at an individual level, a resident who dies at the age of 52 would be given a YPLL weight of 23 (75-52), but a resident who dies at the age of 10 would be given a YPLL weight of 65 (75-10).
The files available on this website provide YPLL totals and rates per 100,000 residents for Missouri, its 115 counties (114 counties plus the City of St. Louis, which is an independent city), Independence, Joplin, Kansas City, and Eastern Jackson County.
The YPLL statistics provided on this website were calculated using data available in the Death MICA and the Population MICA as of January 28, 2016. These resources report aggregated totals rather than individual records. As a result, the YPLL totals and rates provided here will differ somewhat from totals and rates generated from the use of individual records.

|As fast as the Impact conference arrived is about as fast as it is disappearing in our collective rearview mirror. It seems like a blur. In a word, the conference was... exhausting! In other words, it was informative, exciting, and illuminating. I hope that many of you had a chance to make it out there, and I hope more of you make it to Impact in 2013.
|For those of you familiar with the conference, you know that it is typically a launching ground for new product versions and altogether new products. This year was certainly no different with the launch of the new version of WebSphere Application Server (8.5), the new and improved IBM Business Process Manager and IBM Operational Decision Manager, a new version of WebSphere eXtreme Scale (8.5), and numerous updates across the messaging and connectivity stack. While I encourage you to follow up on all of these important announcements, they are not what I am going to focus on today. Instead, I am going to focus on the new addition to the IBM family that got plenty of attention this year: IBM PureApplication System.
|Joe recently touched on this new offering, so I won't get into an exhaustive overview. To put it briefly, IBM PureApplication System is an expert integrated system. What does that mean? First and foremost it means that it is a system -- a whole. It is an integrated platform of hardware and software, optimized and tuned for running transactional web and database workloads. I do not mean that it is a system of software that we pre-install on off-the-shelf hardware. Rather, it is the result of hardware and software engineers across IBM working together to build a system that is expert at what it does. More than just the web application and database software though, IBM PureApplication System also contains pre-installed and pre-configured management software that delivers a soup to nuts (hardware to application) single pane of glass for managing the entire system. I could go on and on, but again that's not my purpose here. I encourage you to check out the new IBM PureSystems web page for more information and some pretty cool videos.
|For those of you that take a look at IBM PureApplication System you will quickly find that the notion of pattern-based deployments (something I have talked about at length on this blog) plays a key role in the new system. In fact, the same virtual system and virtual application pattern constructs that you have come to know in IBM Workload Deployer are front and center in IBM PureApplication System as well. In the new system, you can build custom virtual system and virtual application patterns, deploy them to your cloud, and then manage them over time. If you are familiar with the IBM Workload Deployer user interface, you will likely find yourself immediately familiar with the interface of IBM PureApplication System. Given all of that, if you are like many of the users I talked to at Impact and since, you probably have some questions as to IBM Workload Deployer and this new system. Most commonly, I get these two questions: "What does this mean for the IBM Workload Deployer product?" and "How do I know when to use IBM PureApplication System versus IBM Workload Deployer?" Let me do my best to address those questions.
|In terms of the impact of the IBM PureApplication System on the IBM Workload Deployer offering, I can only view it in one way: affirmation. As I said above, IBM PureApplication System puts the mode of pattern-based deployments front and center, and further affirms that this kind of approach is crucial to the evolution of application delivery and management. Those of you familiar with IBM Workload Deployer or its predecessor WebSphere CloudBurst know that we have been talking about patterns for years. Rest assured we will continue to talk about patterns and solutions for building, deploying, and managing them. As it stands, we have at least three ways for you to build, deploy, and manage patterns: IBM SmartCloud Application Services, IBM Workload Deployer, and IBM PureApplication System. As you can see, options for consuming patterns have only increased since the initial launch of WebSphere CloudBurst. Furthermore, if you were at Impact, you know that we have a vibrant and vocal community of IBM Workload Deployer users, and I hope to see that community continue to grow! As I see it, the core technology of IBM Workload Deployer is becoming our 'operating system' for cloud platform management.
|The question of when to use IBM Workload Deployer or when to use IBM PureApplication System is one whose answer is a bit more nuanced and not something one can or should try to definitively answer in a blog post. One thing I do suggest though is that when evaluating these two technologies, it is important to acknowledge that they have different business value propositions. Sure they share common core technology in terms of building, deploying, and managing pattern-based environments, but beyond that they diverge a bit. Remember, IBM PureApplication System is, well a system. It is the hardware, software, and management technology you need to run your middleware application workloads. It is pre-built and pre-integrated to the point that it only requires you to roll it into your datacenter, hook it up to your network, and do some one time configuration. The aim for the duration between receipt of the system to up and running with your first deployment is four hours, and if you were at Impact you saw an amusing video with the chief architect (Jason McGee) that proves this claim.
|IBM Workload Deployer is fundamentally different in terms of how you consume it and how it integrates with your infrastructure. Most notably, IBM Workload Deployer does not include optimized hardware (servers, storage, networking) for running your workloads or a single point of management for everything from hardware to applications. To use IBM Workload Deployer you attach it to your network and point it at existing virtualized servers. Simply put, IBM Workload Deployer assumes you have existing, under-utilized hardware that you can get more out of with the intelligent deployment and management approach the appliance delivers. While you do not get the pre-integrated and optimized system of hardware plus software, you do get the flexibility to use your existing infrastructure.
|As you can see, there are similarities (patterns) and differences (whole system vs. management system), and the result is a pretty different set of value propositions. The key in evaluating these technologies is that you do so with a crisp understanding of your current needs AND your future plans for growth and evolution. I know this kind of advice is a bit generalized, but I hope the differences I discussed above help you to at least understand the capabilities of the two different offerings. As always, if you have any comments or questions, please reply to the post!

You need a black flashlight. The silver just looks funny against all that black.
I was at the range last weekend, took my niece shooting for the first time in her life. Shes 24 and loved it, which surprised her. The guy in the stall to our left was shooting a Shot gun that looked much like yours. Every time he pulled the trigger you could see paint fly off the wall to his left. The range master came buy and made him stop. It is a brand new range, less than two months old and they would have had to re paint that section of the wall had he continued. Shooting from the middle of the range (it has about 25 bays) he would have been fine. But he was really ruffing up the wall where he was.

a place for zinesters - writers and readers
The idea is simple. To create a one page what have you, that would be disseminated en masse simultaneously through the mail where ever you may be. Call it the grand collaboration, or just call it junk mail.
As this whatever would arrive unannounced hiding amongst the letters of the unsuspecting we could put some real provocative content on it. With zine agents taking up the arms that now fan out behind their backs like so many alphabet agencies, we have the possibility of clustering areas though letter drops. This can only occur if you involve yourself in this strategy by sharing what is to be copied so that what is disseminated proliferates through this magnitude of sharing so as to reach a certain threshold of circulation.

sounds somewhat interesting to me too. logistically, how would this be done?
So, basically, you want to send a bunch of people mail so they can destroy it? I'm confused.
fuck yeah....sounds cool....poetic terrorism at its best....well at least it trying to be...
same here... i'm curious cause it sounds interesting but i'm not sure i understand how it's done :s
Blake said:sounds somewhat interesting to me too. logistically, how would this be done?
well, now the dialogue depends on the content, perhaps say the ultimate 'message.' questions arise, shall this be a political or quasi political statement? aesthetical, imagery based? ecological? poetic? nonsensical? the text has to lead somewhere, but where would we 'supposedly' want to 'lead' anyone to, any conclusions, ideas...moments of clarity perhaps? perhaps not? perhaps simply a ray johnson-esque xerox of simplistic perfection or daunting philosophical madness. i would be willing to do such....i dont mind paying the postage....the idea is whats important.

I just thought since some people (including me) are about to venture on a new set of FP armor, we should make a thread where everyone can post questions about painting or whatever in this thread (even if it may be discussed somewhere in another thread). No questions should be rejected... even questions like "Who the heck is Boba Fett?" well... maybe not to that extent, but you get the idea.
The first question I have is where to I get all the paints on the Rouge Studios paint list? I've seen some but not all on Testors website... but they are doubly expensive there.
PS: Thankyou so much FP for making all our dreams come true

Borseth Adds Alex Antonen as Director of Operations
By Justin Grones (@JustinGrones)
GREEN BAY, Wis. (GreenBayPhoenix.com) – Green Bay women's basketball head coach Kevin Borseth has completed his 2013-14 coaching staff with the addition of Alex Antonen as the director of women's basketball operations. Antonen brings more than four years of combined NCAA and WNBA experience to a Phoenix program that finished 29-3 overall and 16-0 in Horizon League play last season.
"Alex brings a lot of knowledge and experience to our program, and with his past experiences at the NCAA and WNBA levels I'm confident that he will do great things for our team," Borseth said.
A 2013 graduate of the University of Minnesota, Antonen served as the student manager for the Golden Gophers' women's basketball team all four years of his collegiate career. During his time with the program, he aided the coaching staff with film exchange and breakdown, running practices and scouting opponents.
While at Minnesota he also worked as a basketball operations and video intern for the Minnesota Lynx, and was a member of the staff during the team's 2011 WNBA Championship season. In his two years with the Lynx, Antonen helped the coaching staff run practice, broke down game film, assisted with scouting and worked directly with the director of operations to fulfill the team's equipment needs.
In addition to his experience at Minnesota and with the Lynx, he served as a camp counselor at North Dakota State in 2011 and 2012 where he assisted the coaching staff with the program's summer women's basketball camp.
"I'm honored to be a part of the family here at Green Bay and things have been going extremely well since day one," Antonen said. "Coach Borseth has done a phenomenal job of making this program so successful and putting it in the national spotlight, so I'm excited to get my first season here started."
Antonen joins assistant coach Megan Vogel, who was hired in April, as the second new face on the Green Bay coaching staff for the 2013-14 campaign.
When he's not working, Antonen enjoys golfing, reading and watching baseball—especially his favorite team, the New York Yankees.

Kobe Bryant is inching nearer to playing an entire season's worth of his career against the Utah Jazz.
On Wednesday, the 10-time first-team All-NBA player played his 79th career game against the Jazz. Going into the game, he was 45-33 all-time against the Jazz, including the playoffs.
"I've had some epic duels against them," Bryant said following Wednesday's shoot-around. "When I first came in the league, they were getting the better of us pretty much every single time every year. Then things started turning around for us and started being a little more pleasant seeing them."
In 54 regular-season games, Bryant has averaged 26 points, 4.2 assists and 4.6 rebounds against the Jazz.
"That's a lot of basketball," Bryant said. "Obviously, I'm pretty familiar with this arena. ... The fans, the city, I've been here many, many times."
Of course, a full season for Bryant isn't always 82 games. Ten times in his career, he's played fewer than 79 regular-season games. Utah isn't alone in high number of matchups with Bryant. In fact, Bryant has played nine teams more times in the regular season than he has the Jazz (54).
Bryant has played the Clippers more in the regular season than any other team, facing the Lakers' crosstown rivals 61 times.
At this point, it's nearly inevitable that Bryant will hit 82 career games against the Jazz. The Jazz play at Los Angeles twice this season, on Dec. 9 and Jan. 25.
"These two franchises have been around for a long time," Jazz coach Tyrone Corbin said. "He doesn't miss games that he doesn't haven't to miss. He's such a competitor. We know who he is."
Burks breakthrough
In six minutes against Memphis on Monday, his first meaningful floor time of the season, second-year Jazz guard Alec Burks was ineffective and, often, appeared a bit lost.
Corbin later said he erred in playing Burks alongside Jeremy Evans and other Jazz reserves.
"I should have mixed in a little bit more and maybe had some of these guys that play a few more minutes in with that group to ease the pressure a little bit," he said Wednesday.
Against the Lakers, Burks redeemed himself. The former lottery pick out of Colorado played only 2:16 in the first three games, but on Wednesday was inserted with 2:31 remaining in the first quarter. In his nine minutes, Burks drew a charge on Bryant, drove baseline to dunk over Antawn Jamison and had two assists.
"When you're a professional, you're a ball player, you can play anywhere against anybody," he said.
By the time Burks was replaced by Gordon Hayward with 5:31 remaining in the second quarter, the Jazz lead had grown from 21-17 when he entered to 43-28.
Burks played longest with an effective, smaller second unit of himself, Jamaal Tinsley, Randy Foye, Enes Kanter and Derrick Favors. The odd man out in the Jazz rotation appeared to be DeMarre Carroll, who did not play against Memphis on Monday.
After spending the preseason and first week of the regular season talking about getting Burks into the rotation, Corbin finally seemed to find a way to do it.
"You work your butt off all summer to be in the rotation and play, and he deserves to play some," Corbin said before Wednesday's game. "It's just where the rotation is the first few games he hasn't gotten the minutes."

"Loved the idea of this card for giving to kids and they can color it as well! Helped my kids want to write the cards and mail them. I pre-wrote some of it to lessen the amount they had to write as new readers and writers. Quality of the cards was great! Better than I expected. Loved by all the kids who received it in the mail."
"I ordered these adorable "monster" color-in thank you cards for my nephew. He LOVED them! He loves coloring and monsters, so these were a great option for him when he needs to send a thank you card (birthdays, holidays, etc.). Great quality, as always! Thanks, Tiny Prints!"
"Such a great idea to personalize a thank you card, Great quality and quick delivery! My son loved coloring them and personalizing it for each friend/family member. I would definitely order these again!"
"I love this product - it gives my 3 year old son a sense of what it feels like to write a thank you card independently. I will defiantly be purchasing again."
"This is such a cute idea. I am a big fan of thank you cards and think that it's important to get kids in the practice of thanking and sending cards to people for gifts. It's rare these days and a great idea to get them started. The card is adorable! The quality is really great and what you would expect from TP. This makes it easier for kids to write and draw... and makes it fun! Also note that this card is not all white. In fact, the center background area is of a manila color to add a little contrast. A little hard to see online, but it's a nice touch."

I use american eagle hollowpoints in my Ruger SBH and they do very well.
In wet phone book tests the lead round nose bullets expande to about 6/10th of an inch while the eagle HPs expanded to close to 1 inch.
That should stop about everything but a rhino or elephant (and them too if youre close enough)

Hey guys,
I was surfing through the RS Prop site showing my little brother some TK stuff, and I noticed their Boba section. Upon clicking I found something that kind of caught my eye..
RS Prop Masters | Boba Fett
"Boba Fett's his highly detailed costume have been the subject of many years of research and debate across the internet, with The Dented Helmet proving to be a favorite hang out for Fett heads across the globe. This has helped long time 'Denters' RS, to produce some fantastic and ground breaking replica Boba Fett props, including their replica Jetpack, Jetpack Harness and upcoming Gauntlets, with lineage to the only know gauntlet uppers outside of the Lucas Film Archive, now in the hands of a private collector in California."
Does this mean that RS has/had access to the castings that only Art was supposed to have access to? Or am I reading this wrong?

over rated IMO
all my friends r watching a bunch of men skip across a field

That's awesome! Nothing beats a live cage fight. The energy of the crowd is unreal.
I was at "the rock" for UFC 111 st.Pierre vs Hardy and MGM grand for Silva vs Sonnen II.
Dreamer87 said this over on NASIOC "We are having a meet this Sunday the 2nd. We are heading out to the trap and skeet shooting range in yaphank. We are going to be cruising there around 9am or so. All are welcome to come and join" ....?
"some of the guys are meeting up at the ikea in hickville and they are riding out to meet the suffolk guys that are going to be waiting on the service road of the LIE around exit 56 or 57"
NYC/LI Meetup-Cruise - NASIOC

So good meet this morning - looking to get more cars together for the 9th
I'm gonna try to make it out next week. Just depends on weather our not my wife has to work. Dragging a 2 & 5 year-old along to car meets takes most of the fun out of it.

'According to Sabres officials, the team has had several potential buyers but only one offer at this point, and that offer is said to be for a very low figure. Although the NHL, which is running the club, had hoped to finalize a sale by December, it appears likely that the process will take the entire season. A bridge loan has been set up by the league in case the Sabres run out of operating money before a new owner is in place.'

Theo Walcott believes on-loan winger Ryo will strike fear into Premier League full backs on the evidence of his form for Bolton.
The Japanese youngster has been a hit in Lancashire since linking up with Owen Coyle's side in January, producing a string of exciting displays on the left flank.
Ryo has been at Bolton during a difficult period - he was on the pitch when Fabrice Muamba collapsed at Tottenham - and Walcott thinks his club-mate has coped well in the circumstances.
"Ryo has done very well at Bolton," he told Arsenal.com.
"It is hard for such a young kid to go there and do what he is doing, showing no fear with everything that happened at Tottenham [with Muamba]. It is hard and it has probably hit him definitely.
"He will be a better person for it, a better player and I can see him coming back here next year and playing a lot more regularly.
"The way he is playing, there are full backs out there now who are thinking, 'I don't want to play against him this week'."Copyright 2017 The Arsenal Football Club plc.

Barricaded man causes lockdown at Goffstown school
Browne said a call came in to the police department at around 11:33 a.m. from a family member of Lucien Masson, 46, who had barricaded himself in his house and had access to weapons. Because of the close proximity to the school, the decision was made to go into lockdown mode, Browne said, "in case it was a situation that got sour."
"We didn't like to have to do it, but we wanted to make sure the kids were safe," Browne said. Masson eventually surrendered and came out of the residence on his own. He was arrested and charged with disorderly conduct and resisting arrest and is being held on $5,000 cash bail.
Browne said it was a "host of factors" at play that caused Masson to lock himself in his home, but alcohol appeared to have played a "significant part." Browne said all firearms have been removed from the house.

Hope I have this in the right area
Ok folks here goes I am in the middle of doing a huge fan film with everyones favorite bounty hunter in it. This is taking place shortly after ROTJ.
I need to know your input on the Slave1...We are building a full scale back ramp of the Slave1 and also the cockpit. I have scoured the interweb for photos etc..of good pics etc...I have almost every book out there. But nothing really shows off the instrument panels or even detail of the back ramp area.
I have grabbed screen caps of Jango and Boba in AOTC to help....I would assume its the same ship/layout. The seats in the cockpit have changed though from 2 to 1....also I believe the design was to have a passenger seat below Fett's on top.
Any input would be great at this point...we build in March.

By Joe Brewin
Bacary Sagna had plenty of reasons to celebrate on Sunday after making his long-awaited comeback from injury against Aston Villa.
The right back returned from a four-month lay-off in the battling FA Cup win over Alex McLeish's side, after recovering from a broken ankle suffered at White Hart Lane in October.
Sagna admits his spell on the sidelines has been testing and the French international is determined to rediscover his best form as soon as possible.
"I am absolutely delighted," he told Arsenal Player. "It's been quite difficult all these months - four is a long time.
"I just needed to get back as quick as possible and now I finally am. Now I just need to work even harder to get back because I have only had two training sessions and it is not easy. But I will do it.
"I will still work with the fitness coach but I will only get fit by playing games. I am just biding my time to start a game now but I am not rushing. I just want to give the maximum to get myself into the best position.
"It was nice to have support from my wife, kids and my friends. The fans have also supported me a lot during my recovery and it was quite helpful when I was working."
Watch the full interview with Bacary on Arsenal Player now.

The Nikon scanners have always been popular. You'll get better results by scanning the neg/slide.

I mentioned somewhere else that the Epson photo line (I have a 1660 which is about 5 years old) of scanners do a good job for a very reasonable price.
An attachment supplied with the scanner lets you do 4 at a time. It is relatively slow but I did not want to fork out for a dedicated slide scanner...john

There are also services that scan slides in for you. I found a great website that scans in old time slides into digital files for extremely reasonable prices ($0.18-$0.26). The company also adjusts color, grain, sharpening, white balance and more for no extra charge. The website is: http://www.slidescanningpros.com/

In the back corner I sat and ate two cheeseburgers at the saddest fast food joint in the universe. It occupies the ground floor of a building off Lincoln Road, through the gauntlet of shops and street performers and open air restaurants filled with people drawn in from every habited continent. A current of energy flows by, funneling from Collins and Washington and A1A, but it doesn't swirl into the windowless interior where the broken silver haired man sits staring at an empty cup of coffee.
The Venetian is the back way off the island, safeguarded by a series of toll booths and draw bridges that bring transit to a halt. At the foot of one bridge women on skateboards wait for the gates to reopen.
On the incoming tide the bay fills up with bright blue water that flows in past the cruise ships in the Cut. But it was at night here where I saw my first tarpon, fooled by a jigged shrimp drifting in the dark water. I followed the crashes until my eyes caught it leaping, silver scales illuminated by the ambient light of the city.
Years later the water runs blue under the Venetian and through the piers of the marina on the mainland side, where 40 to 50 million dollars worth of boats float in the water waiting for the affluent to open their checkbooks. Underneath the shaded docks the moving stream is occasionally interrupted by splashes that sound like tail flicks and then the unmistakeable sound of tarpon gulping air. They float in formation facing into the tide and when I lay down on the dock and stick my head underneath they do not flinch.
These fish are not to be touched. But even if you could they'd retreat to the concrete and your line would go slack before you even had a say in it.

International Students: Frequently Asked Questions
Why should I consider Golden Gate University (GGU) for my studies?
First, you should choose a university because it provides you with the academic program that is of interest to you. When comparing universities with similar academic programs, here are some things to consider:
- What kind of academic focus is important to you? Golden Gate is a practical and career-focused university where the faculty have real-world experience in what they teach and a large proportion of the students have considerable working experience.
- Are you interested in surroundings that are culturally diverse and exciting? Golden Gate University is located in the heart of San Francisco, one of the most interesting and dynamic cities in the United States. The university has close ties with businesses all over the region, including Silicon Valley. And there's always something to do, from shopping to movies, sports, sightseeing and the arts.
- How will you fit in? Golden Gate University educates students from all over the world. We see it as an excellent way of enhancing the global perspective in our classrooms. But you will also find that the American students are very open and accepting because San Francisco itself is made up of immigrants from every region.
What kind of help do you have for international students?
Our Admissions and Advising teams are staffed by professional counselors who are here to help you from admissions through graduation. Services provided include visa assistance, new student orientation, academic advising, registration and may other areas. In addition, our Office of Student Affairs provides personal counseling, career services and opportunities to join clubs and activities.
What do I need to do to apply to Golden Gate University?
Check the admissions area of this website for specifics. Generally, international students need to fill out an application, arrange to have academic records sent to the university, provide an English proficiency test score (if your native language is not English) and submit financial documents. If you have questions, you can contact the Admissions Office at firstname.lastname@example.com or call 415-442-7800.
Can I apply to GGU over the Internet?
Yes, GGU accepts online applications. Apply today!
Is there financial aid for international students?
Government-sponsored loans and grants are reserved for US students. International students may be eligible for some Golden Gate scholarships. With a little exploration, you may be able to identify low-interest loans or other assistance. A list of financial aid resources for international students is available online.
Can I get a job while I'm in the United States?
Yes. F-1 and J-1 students are allowed to work in limited circumstances. Many international students work part-time on campus at Golden Gate University. Students must check with an advisor in the Graduate Advising Center about individual work possibilities.
How do I get a student visa to come to the United States?
Your first step after being admitted should be to contact the US embassy or consulate in your country. They will be able to provide you with requirements and explain the process for obtaining an F-1 or J-1 student visa. F-1 visa requirements can be found online, as well as a list of embassies and consulates. For general F-1 visa requirements, please go to this website.
I've never been to the United States. How should I prepare for the cultural differences?
You may have seen American movies or television programs. Don't believe everything you see. The United States is a very big country and each region is different. You can learn about the San Francisco Bay Area by looking on the Web. To find out what it's like to live in the United States, you might ask friends or relatives if they know anyone who has done it. Most important: Keep an open mind and be flexible. You will probably find there are some things you really like and other things that seem odd to you. When you first arrive, explore as much as you can until you find what you're comfortable with.
How can I learn more about applying to Golden Gate University, the application deadlines, and the costs of a degree?
For all of these questions, please visit the Graduate International page for international admissions.
I am a GGU international student and I am interested in working. How can I get authorization to work?
This is a very popular question! F-1 and J-1 students are allowed to work in limited circumstances. Students must check with a counselor in the Graduate Advising Center for specific questions about individual work possibilities.
What is USCIS?
A while ago services formerly provided by the Immigration and Naturalization Service (INS) transitioned into the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) under US Citizenship & Immigration Services (USCIS). In support of the DHS overall mission, the immediate priorities of the new USCIS are:
- to promote national security
- continue to eliminate immigration adjudications backlogs
- implement solutions for improving immigration customer services
The USCIS will continue efforts to fundamentally transform and improve the delivery of immigration and citizenship services. This is the government bureau that Golden Gate University works with to ensure that we are servicing our international students safely and legally. Our main component is a database called SEVIS.
What is SEVIS?
SEVIS stands for Student and Exchange Visitor Information System. SEVIS is an electronic database that United States educational institutions use to communicate international student information with the USCIS.
As of August 1, 2003 all colleges and universities were required to enter information in SEVIS for all F-1 and J-1 students. This information includes:
- Enrollment status
- Current address
- Change of status
- Reduced course loads (when a student drops below full time status, whether approved or not)
- Termination due to failure to maintain approved F-1 or J-1 status
- Program extensions and completions
- School transfers
- Practical training authorizations and requests
