City Hall Parking Lot
The City Hall Parking Lot Repaving Project has been completed. We appreciate everyone's patience during this most important project. But now it is time for everyone to see the outcome of all the hard work. Come on by and experience the new transition into the lot; see the new blue zone parking spaces, and see how sharp everything looks. There is still a little bit of work to be completed - while the book drop is available, you will need to park your vehicle in order to deposit your books. But this work should be completed soon.
Library Speaker Series
Monday, April 21 - 7:00pm in the Council Chambers
An Evening with Deborah Grabien, author of the JP Kinkaid Chronicles
In their review of "Comfortably Numb", her latest JP Kinkaid Chronicle, Library Journal calls novelist Deborah Grabien "a master of the rock and roll narrative." Grabien brings a long personal history and bone-deep familiarity with both the Bay Area and rock and roll at its highest level to her critically acclaimed series, the JP Kinkaid Chronicles. The Chronicles weave many of the author's own experiences into the fictional world of their narrator, ex-pat superstar guitarist JP Kinkaid, as he comes to terms with coming of age in the rarified world of top level rock and roll success.
Like her narrator, Grabien also lives with the reality of worsening multiple sclerosis. That, too, forms an integral part of the Chronicles' foundations. Come for conversation, reminiscence, and bring your questions.
You can find out more about Deborah on her website: www.deborahgrabien.com

Are you interested in the Housing Element Update?
Read this for information on the update including a Fact Sheet and Question and Answer flyer.
Sausalito adopted an updated Housing Element in October 2012 which covers the years 2009-2014. This Housing Element was certified by the State of California, Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) in November of 2012 as being in compliance with Housing Element Law. The City of Sausalito is in the process of updating the Housing Element for the years 2015-2023. The City's deadline to adopt a revised Housing Element is January 31, 2015. HCD will only certify the 2015-2023 Housing Element if the City implements— or puts in place— certain programs which were committed to in the most recently adopted 2009-2014 Housing Element. Specifically:
These programs must be put in place prior to adopting an updated Housing Element for the years 2015-2023. If the City does not update the Housing Element by the specified timeframe the City will not be in compliance with Housing Element law. It is anticipated that the Planning Commission will be holding a public hearing on Wednesday, May 21st beginning at 6:30pm in the Council Chambers at City Hall (420 Litho Street) on adoption of the programs above.
Are you curious about the "Horizontal Mixed Use"—or "HMU"— program? This program was committed to in the Housing Element adopted in October 2012 in order to address HCD's requirement that the City show that we have adequate sites for large households. The HMU program allows the sites at 1901 Bridgeway (the 7-Eleven commercial building at Bridgeway and Easterby) and 2015 Bridgeway (the three-story office building at Bridgeway and Olive) to utilize the ground floor of a building on the site for residential use, where today's regulations only allow commercial use on the ground floor and residential use on the upper floor(s). The only zoning change described in the HMU program is to allow the ground floor to be used for residential use, if desired by the property owner. In exchange for allowing the ground floor to be used for residential use, the property owner would be required to make 50% of the units affordable and 30% of the units three-bedroom units to accommodate large households. The concern identified by the community is regarding the potential impacts to the neighborhood if a property owner were to combine the HMU program and the Density Bonus Law (a California State Law). The City has prepared a fact sheet to provide additional information and encourage further dialogue on these important issues.
The City of Sausalito hosted a Community Workshop on March 15th on the Implementation of programs in the adopted 2009-2014 Housing Element and update of the Housing Element for the 2015-2023 cycle. The workshop was recorded: if you missed it there is an opportunity to watch what happened! Click here and scroll down to the March 13 video link to view the full recording of the entire workshop. Click here for answers to questions asked at the community workshop.
For more information on the implementation and update program visit our Housing Element Update webpage or contact Lilly Schinsing at email@example.com. Lilly maintains a Housing Element notification list and will send out email updates to interested community members who join the email list—just email her and she will make sure you are added. The next meeting related to the implementation of programs in the 2009-2014 Housing Element and update of the Housing Element for the 2015-2023 cycle will be an update to the City Council (for information only) on Tuesday, April 22 beginning at 7pm in the Council Chambers at City Hall (420 Litho Street). If you have comments on the implementation of Housing Element programs or Housing Element update please submit a letter or email or participate in person by attend the meeting.
Valhalla Residential Condominiums
The Community Development Department has released the Valhalla Residential Condominiums Initial Environmental Study / Mitigated Negative Declaration for public review and comment. The study analyzes the potential impacts caused by the Valhalla Residential Condominium project and identifies various measures to mitigate these impacts.
Project Description. The project would redevelop the former Valhalla site and building at 201 Bridgeway by renovating and re-configuring the Valhalla structure to accommodate seven residential condominium units. The project would also maintain the existing single-family residence located at 206 Second Street. In total, the project would add approximately 600 square feet of new floor area to the existing 9,290 square feet of building space on the Valhalla property, for a total of 9,900 square feet of floor area. Additionally, approximately 570 square feet of floor area would be removed from the existing 2,018 single-family residence at 206 Second Street. The project requires approval of the following discretionary actions by the City:
General Plan Map Amendment. To change the site's land use designation from Neighborhood Commercial to High Density Residential.
Zoning Map Amendment. To change the site's zoning designation from Neighborhood Commercial (CN-1) to Multi-Family (R-3) to allow residential Use on the ground floor. Amend the Zoning Map to add a Planned Development (PD) Overlay District.
Planned Development Permit. Allow for master planning of the site and flexibility in the application of the City's development standards in some areas of the project.
Tentative Subdivision Map. To create seven residential condominiums, common areas, and a separate parcel for the existing single family residence at 206 Second Street.
Design Review Permit. For demolition, renovation, and restoration of the portions of the existing Valhalla building for residential units, and the construction of a new two-story condominium duplex.
Condominium Conversion Permit. For conversion of the existing Valhalla building into residential condominiums.
The Planning Commission will take public comments on the Initial Environmental Study / Mitigated Negative Declaration at 6:30 p.m. on April 16, 2014, April 30, 2014 and May 14, 2014. All meetings will be held in the City of Sausalito Council Chambers, 420 Litho Street, Sausalito.
The draft Initial Environmental Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration is available for viewing at the City of Sausalito Community Development Department (open from 7:30 A.M. to 4:30 P.M. Monday, 7:30 P.M to 5:00 P.M. Tuesday through Thursday, and 7:30 A.M to noon on Fridays) and the City of Sausalito Library (open every day) located in City Hall, 420 Litho Street, Sausalito and on the City's website at http://ci.sausalito.ca.us/Index.aspx?page=578. The project plans are available for viewing at the Community Development Department. For questions regarding the project or to review a copy of the draft Initial Environmental Study/ Mitigated Negative Declaration please contact Community Development Director Jeremy Graves, AICP at (415) 289-4133. Staff reports will be available on the City's website on the Friday preceding the Planning Commission meetings. Any written comments on the project must be received by the Planning Commission prior to the close of the public review period noted above.
In honor of National Poetry Month, the Sausalito Woman's Club will celebrate its annual Poetry Night at the clubhouse, 120 Central Avenue, on Wednesday, April 23 from 6:30-9:00 P.M. The poetry readings this year will honor Marin poets and will, as always, feature poems that explore the wide and varied spectrum of human experience.
No-host champagne and hors d'oeuvres will be served until 7 PM, when the gala evening of poetry will commence with readings by Woman's Club members, poets, and invited guests. An open reading will then follow, with attendees encouraged to bring favorite poems of their own, or written by other poets, to share with the always enthusiastic audience.
The event is open to the public, free of charge. Call 332-4179, or 383-5037 for further information.
Marin Host Families Sought for Japanese Teenagers this Summer
The Sausalito Sakaide Sister City Program is seeking families from Marin County who are interested in being host families for Japanese teenagers (aged 15 through 17 years), from July 24th through August 3rd, 2014.
This year's student delegation from the City of Sakaide, Japan, will continue the tradition, now in its 26th year, of a cultural and educational exchange between the Cities of Sausalito and Sakaide. Every alternate summer students from Marin County have travelled to Sakaide, Japan and in the intervening years, students from the City of Sakaide have come to Marin County. During their 10-day stay, students are treated to a wide variety of experiences and activities, teaching them about life in the respective countries and making life-long connections and friends.
Anyone with a spare or shared bedroom can be a host family. Having children of any age in the home is always a plus, though not required. Japanese language skills are not necessary, as the students generally have a basic grasp of English. The primary responsibilities and expectations of a host family are transportation to and from Sausalito's City Hall each day, provision of breakfast and dinner with the family, participation in the welcome and farewell parties and in the host families' pot luck, and at least one full family day with the host student that illustrates our bay area family life. In addition, host families can participate in some of the program activities with the delegation should they choose to. If the past is any indicator, students become a part of their host family's lives forever; both the students and host families cherish the memory of this experience.
For further information and for an application to be a host family, please contact EV Gilbreath at: firstname.lastname@example.com or call her at: 415 332-2282.
For the 13th year, the Sausalito Art Festival Foundation (SAFF) will be granting art scholarships to Bay Area students. A total of $20,000 in scholarship funding will be awarded to a minimum of four students who are graduating high school seniors or currently enrolled in college.
In addition to the supporting documents required (transcripts, proof of enrollment, etc.) candidates will be asked to submit two written essays, including one on "How art has affected my life". Ann Arnott, SAFF board member who chairs the scholarship committee said: "We're looking for students with financial need, but also those who are inspired by art and have a vision of what it can do for others." For applications, eligibility requirements and other details go to www.sausalitoartfestival.org, call 415.332.3555, or email email@example.com
Applications are due May 16th and will be evaluated by the SAFF Scholarship Committee. Winners will be notified June 6st.
The SAFF Scholarship Program supports the mission of the Sausalito Art Festival Foundation which is to encourage, promote and support the arts within the community. Funding for the scholarships is provided by proceeds from the Art Festival Gala and Silent Auction. Over $150,000 in scholarships has been gifted in the past 13 years and numerous recipients have gone on to have successful careers in art thanks to this valuable educational support.
from your Tree Committee:
How to Plant a Tree for a Healthy Start
If you're excited about getting some trees in the ground, here's how to start them off right
• Plant in early spring or early fall to avoid heat stress.
• Dig a hole in good soil that's twice as wide as the root ball's diameter and about 2 inches shallower than the root ball's depth.
• Stake trees unable to stand on their own, setting supports on the trunk as low as possible to keep the trunk upright.
• Create a berm of loose soil around the outer edge of the planting hole to retain and direct water to the root ball. Water consistently until tree is established.
• After planting, mulch to suppress weed growth around the tree. Keep mulch several inches away from the trunk itself to avoid disease problems.
from your Disaster Preparedness Committee
Preparing for and responding to a disaster begins with first preparing yourself and your family. However, there are limits to what an individual or family can do. When a large disaster strikes and the City of Sausalito's emergency services workers are overwhelmed by calls for service, the first people you will turn to for help will be your neighbors. It is of vital importance that you build good relationships with your neighbors and help each other prepare before a disaster strikes. Here are some hints to help guide you and you neighbors in your preparedness efforts:
1) Introduce yourself and get to know your neighbors individually.
2) Set up a meeting with your neighbors to discuss the importance of working together to prepare for emergencies.
3) Share information with your neighbors such as earthquake preparedness tips and recommended supply lists,
4) Discuss and develop emergency plans with your neighbors for meeting places, methods of communication, and ways to work together in the event of a disaster. Share resource ideas for food storage items, water, first aid kits, and 72-Hour portable emergency kits. If your neighbors are willing to share personal information, collect and distribute a list with your names, addresses, phone numbers and any special needs. If possible, inventory and include on this list the skills and equipment of neighbors that could be useful in an emergency (e.g. those with medical training, those with experience regarding electrical systems, and those who own chain saws, axes, crow bars, ropes, water purifiers etc.).
5) Encourage your neighbors to join you in obtaining emergency training such as CPR, First Aid or Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) training. You and your neighbors can obtain such training from organizations such as the Red Cross and the Southern Marin Fire Protection District.
The City of Sausalito and the Disaster Preparedness Committee encourages neighbors to work together in order to prepare for disasters. The City of Sausalito's Emergency Services Manager is available to meet with you and your neighbors to discuss the importance of disaster preparation and give advice during your organizational efforts. We further encourage you to obtain information from the following websites in order to better help you prepare:
City of Sausalito: Emergency Preparedness
Southern Marin Fire Protection District
Federal Emergency Management Agency
Wouldn't you be more at ease by knowing that you and your neighbors have a shared plan to guide your actions and are familiar with each other's needs and properties so you can assist each other during times of disasters or emergencies? By working together with your neighbors, you will be able to make your, your families, and your neighborhoods response to a disaster a safer and more organized one.

I have IMac OS X Mountain Lion and am running BackTrack 5 R2 in Oracle VM VirtualBox. I need a bit of help with wash -i mon0/Airodump-ng mon0.
I have an external wifi card for use, It works with my Mac lets me start mon0. When I put in the command Wash -i mon0 or Airodump-ng mon0 it doesn't produce any information. No stations, channels or anything. The command goes threw but no information is coming up. On my PC I have to add --ignore-fcs to the wash -i mon0 command and it works, airodump-ng mon0 also works on the PC. All of these commands go threw on the VM VirtualBox but doesn't give me any information.

Revision as of 06:45, 21 June 2011
1 Origin
This concept originally arose as "fix up the network package" to address the following perceived flaws:
- Timeout socket options are unusable because setSockOpt takes an Int but they want a struct timeval. This can't be worked around because the underlying C import is not exposed and anyway is imported with the wrong type.
- Only Network.URI uses parsec, and most users of network probably don't use that module, so the extra dependency is probably unnecessary.
- The strange behaviour of UnixSocket with connectTo and accept leads me to believe that perhaps the address datatypes aren't well thought-out, as the API design allows for nonsensical requests to be made.
- The API is conditionally exposed based on what symbols are or are not defined on the compilation platform: in a sense this is good because unavailable APIs are caught at compile time, but the error message you get in this case is awkward and has led to spurious bug reports and confusion. It also doesn't seem possible to account for these API differences without yourself using CPP, which seems clumsy to me.
- The PortNumber newtype defines a Num instance despite the fact that it really doesn't often make sense to subtract ports. It doesn't define a Read instance.
The last few points especially started to suggest that a change to the existing package would probably be quite sweeping and API-breaking, so the idea mutated into "design a new network package minus the above flaws", since that was likely to be less troublesome for upgraders.
2 New ideas
- Essentially a three-tiered API:
- the lowest-level FFI interface to the C API, exposing foreign imports and datatypes directly, along with their Storable instances, etc.
- something akin to the current Network package, that is organised to be equivalent in expressivity to the FFI interface but using more idiomatic types and signatures, and taking care of all the marshalling under the hood.
- nicer Haskell wrappers around the above that capture common or encouraged usage patterns. For example, many socket options only need to be set once, when the socket is created, so we might just add a [SocketOption] (or whatever) parameter to the socket creation function. This makes things less stateful and neater. Depending on how far we want to extend this idea, we could potentially make it a separate package so that we can take advantage of a wider range of dependencies (e.g. iteratee, safer-file-handles, etc.)
- Socket options:
- Instead of dispatching on a SocketOption ADT, use multiple functions: instead of we havesetSocketOption sock Debug 1or something similar.setSocketDebug sock True
- Or how about a class-based approach?
- Instead of dispatching on a SocketOption ADT, use multiple functions: instead of
type SockOptName = CInt type SockOptLevel = CInt -- or maybe an Enum type SockOptValue = VoidPtr type SockOptLen = CSockLen -- don't know what this is type SockOpt = (SockOptValue, SockOptLen) class SocketOption a where optionLevel :: a -> SockOptLevel optionName :: a -> SockOptName toSockOpt :: a -> SockOpt fromSockOpt :: SockOpt -> a newtype SocketDebug = SocketDebug Bool instance SocketOption SocketDebug where optionLevel _ = (#const IPPROTO_TCP) optionName _ = (#const SO_DEBUG) optionValue (SocketDebug v) = (toVoidPtr v, sizeof v) -- whatever that means fromSockOpt (v, len) = SocketDebug $ fromVoidPtr len v setSocketOption :: SocketOption so => so -> Socket -> IO () getSocketOption :: SocketOption so => Socket -> IO so -- And maybe… newtype SocketOption = forall so. SocketOption so => SocketOption so setSocketOptions :: [SocketOption] -> Socket -> IO () withSocketOptions :: [SocketOption] -> Socket -> (Socket -> IO r) -> IO r -- the idea is that the type, and therefore class instance, is inferred from use of the newtype constructor: twiddleDebug :: Socket -> IO () twiddleDebug s = do SocketDebug b <- getSocketOption s putStrLn $ "Socket debug is: " ++ show b setSocketOption s $ SocketDebug True
- Both of these are more extensible with "pseudo-options" than the ADT approach, which is nice. The latter may aid encapsulation of the Socket type:
<Twey> Say the SocketOption class contains methods to transform it to the ints C uses <Twey> Not without knowing the internal details of the Socket type <benmachine> ah but the C API uses void* <Twey> void*, whatever <benmachine> the point being that how you translate things to void* might depend a little on which socket option it is <Twey> Yeah <benmachine> and hence can't necessarily be done in a uniform way <Twey> Which is why it's in the class <benmachine> you mean in the instance methods? <Twey> Yes <benmachine> so you're suggesting that there's a function which takes a socket and a void* and does the FFI call <benmachine> and the class instances take care of accepting an Integer and turning it into a void* <Twey> Not necessarily an Integer <Twey> Whatever argument(s) they accept <benmachine> sure <benmachine> just an example <Twey> *nod*
- String and ByteString need to be given equal consideration. Whether this is done by module boundaries (as in Network.Socket.ByteString) or a type-class approach is still under discussion.
- Why does String need equal consideration? It's only a legacy option.
- At least equal? :) but strings are actually quite convenient to pattern match on and stuff.
- I think that it encourages people to think about encoding and stuff if we use a concrete ByteString type everywhere. But maybe we want to let people not think about encoding sometimes? We don't want encoding-boilerplate all over the place.
- How about abstracting Socket into a typeclass and having separate instances for encoded/raw sockets?
- Or, having a filter mechanism in the Socket type
- Or, exposing a Handle somehow and letting the clever new GHC7 IO stuff take care of it.
- Why does String need equal consideration? It's only a legacy option.

what is one topic you wish didn't or won't come up on the board, only because its been talked to death?
Mine is the rear facing/forward facing debacle. Studies have shown and pediatrics recommend rear facing until 2 years at least. It's 5x more safe in the event of a crash. But, legally you only have to do one year I think. Sooo... There it is, the choice is your after a year, you can ask because its a discussion board, but, you will get a lot of the above answer and probably a lot more snide commenting... (Not from me, I skip this topic, lol)

MATH & CS Department Seminar: April 24
| April 10, 2013
Associate Professor Dr. Max Buot will present a clever way to use residual plots:
When used as a diagnostic tool in regression analysis, a residual plot (i.e., a scatterplot of predictions versus residuals) should be boring: if points appear below and above y=0 with no discernible trend, then a linear model is an appropriate statistical summary of relationships within the data. In this seminar, we attempt to liven up residual plots and have some fun!
This event will take place on Wednesday, April 24 at 1:30pm in G27 Smith Hall. Light refreshments will be available 15 minutes prior to the start of seminar.

A Los Angeles County sheriff's deputy was charged Thursday with assaulting inmates at the Twin Towers Correctional Facility and the Compton Courthouse lockup and falsifying police reports.
Deputy Jermaine Jackson was arrested after several months of investigation revealed that the 35-year-old Corona resident had allegedly assaulted two inmates on two separate occasions using his feet, which are considered a deadly weapon, said Steve Whitmore, a spokesman for the Sheriff's Department.
Jackson is charged with four felony counts of assault under the color of authority and two misdemeanor counts of falsifying police reports, according to Sandi Gibbons, a spokeswoman for the District Attorney's Office.
The complaint said one assault occurred Dec. 31, 2009, at the Compton Courthouse lockup and the other on Dec. 25, 2010, at the Twin Towers Correctional Facility, Gibbons said.
Jackson was arrested about 4:30 p.m. Thursday by deputies from the sheriff's Internal Criminal Investigation Bureau, Whitmore said. He was relieved of duty without pay, Whitmore said.
Jackson, who had worked at the Twin Towers Correctional Facility for five years, was booked into Los Angeles County jail system. Bail was set at $100,000.

I have three conditional statements, one is <!--[if lte IE 8]> (this one is working), the others are <!--[if IE 7]>, and <!--[if IE 8]>. I placed a display:none on the body tag in both the IE7 and IE8 stylesheets and nothing happens? What am I doing wrong?
Here is a link. I only have this code on the index page for right now.
Here is the code:
<!--[if lte IE 8]>
<script src="js/html5shiv.js"></script>
<script src="http://ie7-js.googlecode.com/svn/version/2.1(beta4)/IE8.js">
<!--[if IE 8]>
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="ie8.css" />
<!--[if IE 7]>
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="ie7.css" />
With the code you posted?Nothing!
I just tried this to eliminate any syntax errors and it worked as expected:
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">

<script>alert("lt IE 8");</script>
<!--[if IE 8]>
<script>alert("IE 8");</script>
<!--[if IE 7]>
<script>alert("IE 7");</script>
Try this in your code (with the alert). Does it work?If so, then I can only imagine that one of these two lines is causing you problems:
<script src="js/html5shiv.js"></script>
<script src="http://ie7-js.googlecode.com/svn/version/2.1(beta4)/IE8.js">
I tried what you suggested and it worked. Why won't the html5shiv allow stylesheets?
Wow, sometimes we just make the simplest mistakes. The location of the css file is incorrect. I forgot to place css/ in front of ie7/ie8. :goof:
Oh well, all's well that ends well.Sometimes just an extra pair of eyes helps.
This morning I banged my head against the screen trying to understand why I couldn't get any experimental code to work for two hours. After which I finally realized I was edited a different file locally than the one I was FTPing. Once I realized I had to spend the next hour retrying all the ways I thought were a bust.
Doh!That's happened to me quite a few times, too, especially when working with a bunch of files all called "index".I was quite happy when DreamWeaver started displaying the path of the file you're editing, saved me quite a lot of head banging.

text: Wednesday, November 28, 2012 Truckee Tahoe Airport considers leasing portions of property By Margaret Moran The Truckee (CA) Sierra Sun TRUCKEE, Calif. - The Truckee Tahoe Airport District is accepting land leasing proposals for both public and private development, following an inquiry by one of the area's largest employers. Truckee-based Clear Capital, a national provider of real estate analytics and valuations, has approached the airport district with the idea of leasing property since it is looking for a long-term facility, preferably in Truckee, to house its headquarters, said Kevin Marshall, co-founder and president of the company. "A facility for us - we're larger than the average Truckee company (with 350 employees nationwide, 300 of whom are in Truckee) - there's not as many options," he said, adding that several other regional parcels are being looked at by the company, the headquarters of which are currently located on Pioneer Trail in Truckee. According to the Truckee Tahoe Airport District's June 28 meeting minutes - which was when the land leasing topic was brought to the board's attention - Clear Capital would like to have a facility that could handle about 400 to 500 employees. "The new facility would need to be in excess of five to six acres with a parking facility to accommodate 400-plus cars with approximately 50,000 to 60,000 square feet of working space," the minutes stated. "(We're) very early in talks (with the airport district)," Marshall said this week. Over the last six weeks, the airport district has received two other inquires from private entities about leasing airport land, but no formal proposals have been received, said Kevin Bumen, director of aviation and business services for Truckee Tahoe Airport District. "The airport hasn't leased property in its history, so this is unprecedented," he said, adding that the only exception is Fire Station 96 on Truckee Airport Road, a site shared among the airport district, Truckee Fire Protection District and Calfire. Land the airport is considering for potential leasing is "close to the airport" and will not include properties the district has purchased to protect open space, such as Waddle Ranch, Bumen said. Information on the number, size and market value price of the parcels currently is unknown, he said. Potential benefits to the airport district regarding the endeavor, Bumen said, include further utilization of its approximately 3,000 acres of property while adding to and diversifying its revenue stream. As for community benefits, it would provide flat areas for development that are well connected to infrastructure. It also aligns with the district's mission of "enchanting the benefits to the community-at-large," Bumen said. It is "very common" for publicly owned airports to lease property for aeronautical and non-aeronautical uses, said Bumen, according to the district's June 28 meeting minutes. Site leases to prospective tenants would be developed under the general guidelines of the district, town of Truckee and/or Nevada County, based on property location, according to an Oct. 5 airport press release, and lease terms are subject to airport district policy, state law and Federal Aviation Administration mandates. Further discussion regarding land leasing will likely be discussed at Truckee Tahoe Airport District's January meeting, Bumen said.

BREVARD, N.C.- The Brevard College baseball team split a South Atlantic Conference doubleheader with the Wingate Bulldogs at Gil Coan Field on Saturday afternoon, taking a 6-5 walk-off win in 10 innings in the opener before falling 1-0 in game two.
Game 1: Brevard 6, Wingate 5
Eric Renegar reached on an infield single in the bottom of the 10th inning and moved to second a throwing error by Wingate shortstop Michael Godinez. Pinch hitter Ryan Ahlum laid down a sacrifice bunt, which Wingate reliever Brett Morgan (L, 1-1) threw into left field trying to nail Renegar at third to allow BC to score the winning run.
Brevard righty Carson Anderson (W, 1-0) tossed a scoreless 10th inning, pitching around a leadoff walk and a throwing error to strand the go-ahead run at second.
The Tornados had scored three runs to take a 5-2 lead in the bottom of the 8th on three hits and three WU errors, but the Bulldogs tied the game at 5-5 in the top of the 9th to force extras.
Game 2: Wingate 1, Brevard 0
The Tornados couldn't get any offense going in game two against Wingate starter Ben Currie, who held the Tornados scoreless with a seven-inning complete game. The righty allowed only three hits and fanned 10 while pitching around three walks.
The Bulldogs scored the game's lone run on an RBI single in the top of the 1st inning against BC starter JD Chaplain. The righty struck out two while allowing four hits and walking a pair in five innings on the hill.
Freshman Hunter McBride and senior Dustin Haithcox kept Wingate off the board for the last two innings but the Tornados couldn't find the equalizer in their final two at-bats.
The Tornados are back in action on Tuesday as they visit the North Greenville Crusaders. First pitch from Ashmore Field is set for 3 p.m.

Gone Fishing
Mega retailers provide optimum outdoor opportunities, but how do cities lure them here in the first place?
By Mica Thomas Mulloy
Glendale and Mesa may as well be bringing amusement parks into their respective towns. Upcoming additions to the cities are expected to draw millions of visitors each year—many traveling from hours away—and infuse hundreds of millions of dollars into municipal coffers. But it isn't Disneyland and Six Flags opening their doors in the Valley; rather outdoor mega-retailers Cabela's Inc. and Bass Pro Shop.
Cabela's plans its grand opening at the end of August in the Zanjero Business Park near Glendale's Westgate City Center. Bass Pro Shop recently broke ground in Mesa's super-sized Riverview retail center at the confluence of loops 101 and 202. Both sporting megaliths are highly coveted and, much as IKEA put Tempe on the retail destination map, are expected to edge West and East Valley commerce opportunities toward retail nirvana.
Born in the 'War Room'
Cabela's opens in the midst of Glendale Arena and Cardinals' stadium to offer West Valley residents a super supply of hunting, fishing and outdoor gear. Cabela's spokesman David Draper says when his company looks for a retail location, executives first examine their mail-order customer base. They literally pinpoint their customers on large maps in their retail "war room" and determine if there is a large enough demand. With countless recreation opportunities in Arizona and metropolitan Phoenix, Glendale was a good match. "Obviously there is a great opportunity there," Draper says.
Cabela's purchased a 28-acre site in September 2005 and anticipates hosting 3 to 5 million customers in its first year. The store will feature acres of sporting displays, a freshwater aquarium and a centerpiece mountain replica complete with running waterfalls and streams.
The retailer received some help along the way—Glendale foot the bill to add necessary infrastructure as a development incentive. "The way we look at it, we are bringing something to the area," Draper says. "To put our store there, we are going to need some infrastructure." Glendale Economic Development Director Karen Thoreson says the city agreed to build public improvements based on the calculated financial boom Cabela's should bring: an estimated $34.6 million in tax revenues over 10 years. "It's bringing in a lot of business around it, it's bringing in a lot of people who have never been to this side of the Valley," she says.
Thoreson believes the area will experience supplementary benefits upon the mega-retailer's arrival such as more than 1 million annual tourists and the addition of 300 new hotel rooms worth $30 million. "People come to Cabela's like they come to Disneyland," she says.
How to Land a Retail Giant
Marty DeRito, DeRito Partners CEO and Riverview developer, wanted to kick off the 250-acre commerce center with a unique anchor tenant. With that in mind, he, project partner Kimco Developers and Mesa economic officials started pursuing IKEA and Bass Pro Shop. When IKEA signed on with Tempe, all focus moved to Bass.
DeRito notes Bass Pro Shop, which sells everything outdoors from boats to bait, was interested, but also looked elsewhere in the state and toward California for their next location. "I had as much competition from other states as I did locally," he says.
A Mesa contingency traveled to the International Council of Shopping Centers convention several years ago to meet with Bass Pro Shop executives and tout what Mesa, and the entire region for that matter, had to offer the retailer.
DeRito said Riverview will ultimately house three to five auto dealerships, 1.5 million square feet of retail space, 400,000 to 500,000 square feet of office and commerce facilities and two hotels. The center is expected to employ 5,000 to 6,000 people, making it one of the largest employers in the region.
After two years of negotiations, Bass Pro Shop was hooked and signed a letter of intent. Larry Whiteley, Bass Pro Shop manager of corporate public relations, says regardless of what a developer offers, all the puzzle pieces must fit together perfectly before the retailer makes a move. "They could offer the moon, but it still has to be right for us," he says. "We have to research it ourselves and find out if there is a built-in customer base." Bass looks at the number of hunting and fishing licenses sold in an area, zip code reports of catalog sales and the area's outdoor activities. Whiteley says in Mesa's case, everything fit. "We wouldn't be considering this and doing this if we didn't feel confident with this," he says.
With Bass Pro Shop now on board, DeRito Partners and Mesa came to terms on an incentive package for the project. Developers agreed to front $42 million needed to get the center on its feet with the possibility of earning that money back in coming years with shared retail-generated sales taxes.
DeRito says if the center, and therefore the city, makes money, the developers earn some of their down payment back. If not, it is the developer who will suffer, not the tax payers.
Mesa Economic Development Management Assistant Scot Rigby says the incentive package is a win-win situation for Mesa, and the region as a whole. "Since you're performing, since you are truly becoming a benefit to the city, you are eligible for these types of incentives," he says of the plan's structure.
Rigby believes Bass Pro Shop's agreement to build in Mesa speaks volumes not only for the store and local citizens, but also the economic viability of the entire valley. "The region is showing national retailers that they need to be in Arizona if they are going to be successful in their plans as a business," he says. "It's too big of an area for them to overlook now."

From: William Godshalk <GODSHAWL@UCBEH> Date: Saturday, 12 Feb 1994 22:44:26 -0500 (EST) Subject: Ohio Shakespeare Conference - Hotel Rooms The Ohio Shakespeare Conference (March 3-5) Our block of rooms at the Cincinnatian Hotel has now been made available to the general public, and March 3 is sold out. I have been informed that the Westin Hotel (1-800-228-3000) still has rooms available. The Cincinnati Terrace Hilton (1-513-381-4000) did have some rooms at $75 last week. Also the Omni Netherland Plaza (1-800-843-6664) may have some rooms. But if you wish to attend the Conference and if you wish to stay in downtown Cincinnati, you must act quickly. The Cincinnati Wine Festival (with an influx of California wine makers) begins on March 3. And rooms are going fast. On the morning of February 11, the Cincinnatian still had 25 rooms available for March 3. By this afternoon (February 12), they were gone. I'm glad I made my reservations early! Bill Godshalk Secretary, 1994 Ohio Shakespeare Conference PS If you do need help finding a room, you can call me at 513-281-5927, and I'll do my best. I was able to help someone this afternoon.

Good. Let this thread go into permafrost with all the other fan fantasies.
6/27/09: We expect [Rondo] to play by the rules and be a leader as a point guard. We need him to be more of a leader, Ainge said. There were just a couple situations where he was late this year, I dont know if he was sitting in his car, but showed up late and the rest of the team was there. We have team rules and you have to be on time. He was fined for being late, he said he was stuck in traffic, and its just unacceptable.
told you all since 2010 he was a toolbag.....

I really doubt theyd trade Myers and Starling together. Highly doubt it.
Any year of Lester besides 2012 wouldve killed it in that park and that division. He pitched better in the second half of the year. I value Lester as a good #2 starter. If others don't, then you don't trade him. It's that simple. Keep him to yourself and take the chance on him rebounding rather than trading him for les than he may be worth.
Lester can be an ace in KC IMO, Buchholz could have a few good years but never ace status. His 2010 was an outlier in my eyes until I see him do it again. He's good, but not sub 3.00 ERA good.
I agree on your point that keeping Lester may be a better decision, you can always trade him in July if he rebounds and we're out of the running. All the more reason I'd rather include Buch in this (possible) move. To your point that Clay would be no ace, I agree. However, I think we've been searching for our ace ever since Pedro left and nobody has worked out (save for Beckett's two good years). I'd rather have a solid rotation of #2/#2 guys throughout than have one ace who's overpaid and let the rest of the roster suffer. Especially for a small market team.

I have a simple CSS hover gallery which displays a photo when a user hovers on some text. It works fine as a stand-alone html, but when added to a wordpress page it does not works properly - the width of the image is limited to the with of the text which is a list element.
Any ideas to solve this please?
We'd need to see a link ... but there's no reason it can't work in WP per se. There may be some other styles / scripts on the WP page that are interfering.
the site is http://www.lewesoperatic.co.uk/index.php/bugsy-malone/cast/. The code in question is ot live yet.The new code is based on the code found at http://sonspring.com/journal/hoverbox-image-gallery. I have got it work by adding
max-width: 200px; to the .hoverbox .preview style. That seems like an ugly fix though.
Hi Ralph. Have now gone live with max-width at 1000px, to cover and image size I may want.
Where is it? I don't see it on the page you posted.
It's at http://www.lewesoperatic.co.uk/index.php/bugsy-malone/cast/
Hover over the underlined names to display photo. If I were to remove the max-width declaration the photos are restricted to the width of the text.
This CSS rule in images.css is getting in the way:
.entry-content img {
height: auto;
margin: 0 0 18px 0;
max-width: 100%;
It's also probably better to remove width="150px" from the image itself, although it isn't causing the problem.
OK, Thanks - I couldn't track where the limitation was coming from. Thanks for your help
You're welcome. Have you explored the Inspect Element feature in Chrome etc? It's really handy. You can see what CSS rules apply to each element.
That looks much more useful than the one in Firefox. Thanks
In the past, I would have recommended that you install Firebug for Firefox, as it's an excellent inspector tool ... but I feel that the inspect tools in Chrome have caught up. (The native inspection tools in firefox are pretty new and not very good.)

YYAST is a library which completes Lex and Yacc by adding an Abstract Syntax Tree (AST). It is designed so that you write as little as code as possible in the Lex and Yacc grammar files, so that it doesn't distract from the grammar of the language, and is intended to make it easier to use high level programming languages for compilers.
HGL is a compiler/interpreter suite for developing images. It features its own simple but powerful language, Lua integration, output in various formats as well as runtime input handled by plugins, and easy integration into various environments like Web servers or graphical applications. The input is taken from a source file, which has to be compiled for quick and frequent access by the interpreter. An interpreter then runs the compiled files, takes input from custom plugins (if neccessary), and outputs its result via custom plugins.
OpenSMTPD is an RFC compliant, secure, and simple SMTP server ported from OpenBSD to Linux. It supports the SMTP protocol, including SSL versions for added security, virtual domains, forward files, and external delivery agents like procmail, and can do most of the basic things that other MTA implementations do.
Hormiga is a language designed to be simple and powerful, allowing users without software programming knowledge to make the programs needed to automate the calculations of everyday problems. Generally, it is necessary only for the users to be aware of the problem they want to solve. The language allows programmers to focus on the problem and not to worry about the interactive interface with the user. The programmer will have to state the instructions to solve a problem, in the same way they would do manually. The steps may depend one upon the other. Like most languages, Hormiga has support for functions and the possibility of creating libraries of commonly used code. Unlike most languages, Hormiga automatically and dynamically creates the graphical user interface (GUI) for programs, has support for calculating definite integrals in multiple dimensions, and incorporates a new concept called Step, similar to a procedure of Pascal, but allowing you to state dependences between them.
dwarf-ng is a small and powerful object file manipulator. With dwarf-ng, you can read, edit, and manipulate section headers, inject code or data, and create new section headers of object files. Currently, it handles object files in the PE, Mach-O, and ELF formats. For the moment, dwarf-ng only has a command-line interface. dwarf-ng is fully scriptable (as it has a scripting language), and is flexibly configurable.
Hoc, the High Order Calculator, is an interpreted language for floating-point calculations. Its most basic use is as a powerful and convenient calculator, interactively evaluating expressions such as 1+2*sin(0.7). But hoc is no ordinary calculator: It also lets you assign values to variables, define your own functions, and use loops, conditionals, and everything else you'd expect in a programming language.
FIM (Fbi IMproved) aims to be a highly customizable and scriptable image viewer targeted at the users who are comfortable with software like the Vim text editor or the Mutt mail user agent. It is based on the Fbi image viewer and works either in the Linux framebuffer console or in the X system. It features the ability to filter the list of images with regular expressions, Vim-like autocommands, command line autocompletion and history, completely customizable key bindings, external/internal scriptability, and much more.

Miley Cyrus slams Juicy J pregnancy rumors
Listen to Miley Cyrus on iHeartRadio | Listen to Juicy J on iHeartRadio
Miley Cyrus is making light of the new rumors that she is pregnant with the child of rapper Juicy J.
On Monday, the singer said that she woke up to the news and couldn't do anything but laugh. The rumor surfaced on gossip sites because of some comments Miley reportedly made while appearing at the BET Hip Hop Awards ceremony on Sunday.
waking up to the news that I'm now pregnant with @therealjuicyj baby— Miley Ray Cyrus (@MileyCyrus) September 30, 2013
A site called CreamBMP.com reported that Miley was heard blurting out that she was "really pregnant," and that her father Billy Ray who was there as well got on stage and joked that Miley "broke [his] achy, breaky heart."
The award show won't air until October 15th, but Miley doesn't seem to be taking the speculation seriously. She tweeted about a conversation with a friend, joking that she would name the baby "Juicy J Jr." Miley collaborated with the rapper on a song called "23" for her producer Mike Will Made It.

STEVENS PASS — Starting next fall, skiers at Stevens Pass can expect to have a faster way up the mountain and more places to ski back down.
The resort is planning to spend about $4 million on a faster lift and is planning to open up a new area to skiing.
The equipment is being purchased from Doppelmayr Garaventa, a German company with a branch in Salt Lake City, Utah. The company makes ski lifts, gondolas and rope tows for ski areas.
The ski lift will replace the one on the Mill Valley run, the farthest from the lodges, said Chris Danforth, vice president of marketing and sales for Stevens Pass.
The lift will zip skiers to the top of the run about twice as fast as the one currently in place, officials said.
"We saw this improvement being asked for by quite a few of our guests," Danforth said.
The lift will be the third high-speed line at Stevens Pass, of a total of 10.
"We are looking at (replacing) others down the road," said Joel Martinez, vice president of operations.
The faster lift is expected to encourage skiers to visit a lesser-used part of the ski area, Danforth said.
"We hope to spread out our skiers across the mountain," he said.
Also, a new area will be opened up for skiing. Some trees will be removed over the summer to make enough room for skiing — a method called "glading," Martinez said. The trees will not be clear-cut, he said.
"Everybody is always wanting new terrain to ride," Danforth said.
Installation of the new lift is expected to begin in late April or early May, he said. Work on the new ski area will take place over the summer and is scheduled to be done by the beginning of the ski season in November.
Stevens Pass also plans to buy two new snowcats for in-season snow grooming on four current runs — South Park, Corona, Pegasus and Orion, officials said. The resort added three snowcats last year, Danforth said.
Stevens Pass is operated by Stevens Pass Mountain Resort LLC, which is owned by CNL Lifestyle Properties Inc. of Orlando, Fla. The company bought the ski area in 2011 from Seattle-based Harbor Properties, which owned the ski area for nearly 35 years, Danforth said.
The Florida company also owns the Summit at Snoqualmie Resort at Snoqualmie Pass and the Wild Waves Theme Park in Federal Way.

Red Sox 'god' David Ortiz delivers another defining postseason moment in Game 1 win
BOSTON – The worst of what the St. Louis Cardinals did Wednesday night stood on the top step of the other dugout, the one across Fenway Park from them, and it hoisted its beefy arm to the adoring crowd. This was the seventh inning, by which point the Cardinals perhaps hoped Game 1 would end without further humiliation, without losing another critical player, and with a safe and incident-free bus ride back to the team hotel.
This was David Ortiz, and the people were singing his nickname, and he was smiling, and of all they may or may not have visualized in their re-entry to the World Series, a celebration of Big Papi could only mean that the Cardinals would lose, and they would have themselves to blame for the look of it, but that the Boston Red Sox would have taken it, too.
There, amid the errors, injurious hesitations, and all the imprecision one good team could stuff into nine horrendous innings, stood Papi, a stud at 37. The Cardinals had misplayed a double-play grounder in Ortiz's first at-bat, they'd stumbled and brought Ortiz to the plate with one out instead of two in his second at-bat, he'd singled cleanly in his third at-bat. Then, with two out in the seventh, they'd misplayed a two-out grounder ahead of him, and Ortiz hit the next pitch over the Red Sox bullpen.
"That guy's a god," Red Sox catcher David Ross said. "David Ortiz shows why we call him Cooperstown around here."
[Yahoo Sports Shop: Gear up for the World Series with official team gear]
It is one thing to extend innings against the Red Sox, who do a fine enough job of that themselves. It's quite another to keep handing innings to Ortiz, in October. His 16th career postseason home run –taken from him (at great cost to Carlos Beltran) in the second inning – soared into the cool night, and finished a Cardinals team that was fortunate not to have been run off the field hours before.
The Red Sox would win, 8-1. And Ortiz would take his curtain call. He was fresh from his one-pitch at-bat against Kevin Siegrist, the 24-year-old left-hander brought from the bullpen with his upper-90's fastball just for Ortiz. He'd throw the fastball, middle of the strike zone, just hump it past the old guy, except Ortiz was waiting.
The ballpark gun said 96. Another said 97. No matter. The book said Ortiz is vulnerable to lefties, to big fastballs, and that's what Mike Matheny summoned when his team had created for itself yet another soggy moment.
Ortiz was asked what he knew about Kevin Siegrist before Wednesday night.
Maybe he didn't hear the question.
The guy you hit the home run off.
"What did I know?"
What did you know about him?
"I knew he got a good fastball," Ortiz said. "A guy with that kind of fastball you're not going to go looking for a changeup or a slider. You gotta look fastball. And I can still hit fastballs."
He can still hit fastballs, he said. He said it with defiance, like in case you forgot, like he's tired of hearing otherwise, like … any more questions?
He said it like it's personal, especially in October, in this ballpark. He can still hit fastballs, still has the bat speed, still knows a moment when he tastes one.
He'd practically won the ALCS with one swing of the bat, the one the Red Sox absolutely had to have way back in Game 2. He'd come inches from another grand slam Wednesday night off Adam Wainwright's fastball, but that ball had hung up enough for Beltran to bring it back. "Of course," he said, he believed he'd hit that ball out. Five innings later, he said, "I made sure I hit it a little farther."
[Related: Cardinals make several laughable errors in Game 1 defeat]
For one of the more jovial men in uniform, he does not suffer doubters well. And he'll seek them out, hunt them down, get a fastball like Siegrist's and then ask how they like him now.
"He takes a lot of pride in the fact he can still hit a fastball," teammate Daniel Nava said.
Ortiz has batted .311 over the past three seasons and hit 82 home runs in spite of the Achilles' issues that shortened his 2012 season by almost half. He looks the same. And it's been years since anyone wondered if he could still hit, and yet the look is the same when he says, "I can still hit fastballs," as if he assumes people believe otherwise, and it seems to anger him, wound him.

I have been checking various forums for a while asking questions, getting answers and learning everything I could about bowhunting. I have come to the realization that although there is a lot of good info out there it is fragmented and sometimes hard to find. I figured I would start this thread for others like me who are just getting into bow hunting, hopefully save them some time and possibly even show some who are on the fence how it can be done on what I consider a realistic working man with a family budget.
I'll start by telling a little about myself. I'm 33 in average shape and have been hunting most of my life with varying degrees of success and commitment. I have lived in Idaho since I was born and never hunted in another state. After last years dismal season I decided to increase my season by taking up bowhunting. I have decided to become more committed than years past and that made me look at my current gear and figure out what I need to replace and what I need in general. I will include a running tally and hopefully when I'm done my wife won't read this. My goal is to have a workable set up with everything I need for a successful season and do it for less than a lot of guys pay for a few pieces of gear. I won't be packing a Swaro spotter or Zeiss bino's and my bow isn't the top of the line but I plan on proving that an average guy can get it done with good equipment that doesn't cost a fortune.
Tags: As an Idaho resident I purchase the Sportsman's Package every year this includes hunting and fishing licenses as well as tags for deer, elk, black bear and mountain lion. It also includes the archery validation needed to hunt with a bow during archery only seasons. The package is $117.25. I also put in for controlled hunt antelope $6.25 application fee and drew, $31.25 for the tag. Because I have never hunted with a bow I was required to take the Bowhunters Ed class from IDF&G. $38.00 (internet course and field day). With all the required legal stuff out of the way I can now go after deer, elk, antelope, black bear and mountain lion. Total cost $192.75
Bow: I looked at several options but it was a no brainer for me. I have a relative that works for a bow manufacturer and with their help I was able to get a bow package that came set up ready to hunt out of the box for $350. Now, if you are reading this thinking you don't have the option of getting a bow for this kind of price you are probably correct. However while trying to decide what bow to get I came across last years model from the same company, set up ready to hunt out of the box on clearance for $425 so I know if you look around you can find a good bow that will do everything you need it to for less than $500 including sight, rest and quiver. I picked up 12 Cabela's Carbon Hunter Arrows for $49.99 (sale) and another 6 Easton Storm arrows (same arrow) for $36. I have about $20 or less in field points. The fancy ones with the collar that supposedly pull out easier were my first ones and the cheap $0.42 bulk tips make up the rest. I don't notice much of a difference using my Cabela's target $39.99 (sale). I picked up a Scott Shark release $69.99 and 6 G5 Striker broadheads for $30. The broadheads were on sale from a place called Promotive.com. They were on special for the site and priced well below the normal discounted price. Promotive is a member based web site that gives deals to people who qualify. If you are able to join it's well worth it, especially since it's free to join you just have to qualify. Back on point, I downloaded some free bow tuning software and built myself a paper tuning stand out of some scrap lumber and I am practicing every chance I get and becoming more comfortable and accurate with my bow every day. I got a package of 6 Easton Axis FMJ arrows for Fathersday so even though I'm not including them in the total I know she paid $59.00 for them if you want to add them yourself. I am having a custom bow case made up by a company in Challis Idaho called Personal Sportswear that has the fuzzy feeling quiet waterproof fabric in Mossy Oak Brush on the outside, fleece on the inside, some inside pockets for various things, a tube on the inside for arrows and the straps used for the handles will be stitched like MOLLE so I can attach it to my pack. The quoted price with a family discount is $65.00 Total bow set up $660.97
Optics: I have had and still have some very cheap binoculars, they aren't worth the headache, literally and figuratively. I recently purchased a pair of 10x42 Cabela's Alpha Extreme binoculars using a coupon for $100 off that I found in their early May 2011 flyer and I am more than happy with the quality for the $119 I spent. As for a spotting scope I have a cheap worthless piece of junk that has less resolution at 25 power than my new binoculars have so I am in the market. I have pretty much decided on the Leupold Ventana kit that includes a case and tripod for $242.45 on Promotive. I picked up the Redfield range finder a while ago for $149.00 (sale) and after using it for a while I do believe the guy behind the counter who said it was a step up from the Leupold 600 with a better price. Total Optics $510.45
Pack: I currently have an Eberlestock X2 that I payed under $200 for but I am planning on getting something a little bigger and have several good options for less than $300 so I'll use $300 as the total and update it when I decide on a pack. Total Pack $300 or less
Camp: Since my current sleeping bag is a monster I decided to upgrade and just yesterday I ordered a Big Agnes Down bag for $145 (Promotive) and I have a $30 sleeping pad that seems to work just fine. I don't have a good light weight tent but I'm confident I will find one for less than $150 and I'll post it when I do. I picked up a Jetboil SOL as my new stove $119.00 and for $4.00 I can get a little spork thing. I have a couple good hydration bladders, Cabelas open top ones are my choice because of the ease of cleaning, filling and price $16.99 for a 2L. Add a good headlamp $20, flashlight $20, water tablets $15 and figure another $20 for para cord, electrical tape, stove gas and a few other little things. Not including the food I will need. Total $539.99 or less depending on the tent.
Hunt: I have a few different calls, if you subscribe to Eastman's they send you free ones every year so lets say $40.00 and I get the magazines for both motivation and information. I have what I need for about $20 more than what I got from Eastman's invested in calls. If you need a knife join the Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation. Although their membership knives in the past have been borderline worthless over the past year or two they have given away some good stuff that I know will work just fine in the field. Add in the membership and the magazine for $35 and it's a steal. Game Bags $11.99, scent control kit $24.99 and some wind indicator $4.99 round out my hunting gear. Total $136.97.
Clothing: I'm not going to include clothing prices because honestly I don't remember what most of what I have cost. I figure if you've been hunting before you have it and since I doubt there are many naked people reading this everyone has some kind of clothing they can use without spending much money. The last item I bought in this department was a pair of Kings Camo pants I picked up off the clearance rack at Sportsman's Warehouse for $20. I know people who have the $1000 + sitka set up and I know a guy who took an old pair of tan wranglers and a couple of black and brown sharpies and made up some jeans that would compete with some of the stuff off the rack. I know some is better than others but I figure if they can't smell me and my silhouette is broken up in some way they probably don't care what brand I'm wearing.
If you've read this far let me know what I forgot, did wrong, did right or you're alternative. I know I could have done it cheaper but I had a budget and although I splurged on a few things I more or less stuck to it. I also know I could have spent several thousand more but would it have made that much of a difference? I'll keep you all posted. I also plan on picking up some maps when I decide where exactly I'll be going so I'll post that info as well.

Keith Richards recalls violent golf ball incident on 'Fallon'
Listen to Rolling Stones on iHeartRadio
Rolling Stones guitarist Keith Richards admits he doesn't always have the best sense of humor when he first wakes up. The legendary rocker recalls an incident in which the Stones' longtime sax player Bobby Keys hit a golf ball into his scrambled eggs. Richards tells NBC's "Late Night with Jimmy Fallon" that having his breakfast disrupted like that sparked a violent reaction.
The Stones will be returning to the road next month for their first extended run of dates in six years. Richards says band members will be getting together next week to rehearse and plan out their show.
He adds that former Stones guitarist Mick Taylor is joining the group for the trek, which he says will make it "an interesting tour all around." Keith explains that many Stones songs have multiple guitar parts, which poses a challenge for him and Ronnie Wood to deliver in concert. He says that having a third guitarist on board really expands their options.
The Rolling Stones will launch their "50 and Counting" North American tour in California next month. Tickets, which range in price fro 85 to 600 dollars, are on sale now.
