In the April 4th Outdoor News on p3 there is a Commentary Letter
"Sportsmen pay attention to ATV bills
by Barry W Babcock
Jack Pine Coalition
Hackensack, MN
There are a number of proposed "bills" in the MN Legislature this year that should be appalling to hunters and anglers. The bills would open up public and private wetlands to ATV and mudder truck use. Incredible as it sounds, even the DNR has a bill that would do likewise. Yes, the agency assigned with protecting our states resources is proposing OHV travel in all private wetlands - and opens the same wetlands on public land during the winter months, "direct crossings"of public bogs from September through December, and year-round for minnow trapping. These wetlands in question are shallow and deep marshes, ponds, shallow lakes, and bogs.
The DNR is not alone. Legislators who are authoring other bills that are just as bad and worse are representatives Hackbarth, Ozment, Penas, Dill, and senators Saxhaug, Stumpf, Koering, Sams and Bakk. Some or all of these bills would re-introduce the "go anywhere, do anything" forest classification (all trails open unless posted closed). Many of these legislators are culpable for opening up the Con-Con/WMAs to ATV use. Remember it is hunter's dollars that pay for and maintain WMAs.
Rep. Tom Hackbarth chairs the House Enviroment and Natural Resources Committee and not one conservation bill made it out of his committee last year. It should take more than trying to establish a dove season to be recognised as a friend by sportsmen. Clearly Hackbarth, Ozment, and allies, rather than being friends of sportsmen are lying prostrate before the ATV lobby in this state and not loooking out for the well being of our states resources.
The Minnesota Wetlands Conservation Plan (MWCP), put together and finalized in 1997 by the DNR, DOT, Pollution Control Agency, Board of Water and Soil Resources, and others; states that its first intended audience is, collectively, "State agencies with enviromental and resource responsibilities in wetlands management...The goal for wetland conservation in Minnesota is to maintain and restore the quality and diversity and increase the overall quantity of wetlands in the state, varying regionally in accordance with differences in the character and health of the wetland resource, in order to promote ecologically, socially and economically sustainable communities...."
It is time Minnesota hunters and anglers stop being duped by legislators who couch behind an image friendly to hunters while acting as agents for the OHV industry, which are using our public lands as a place to market and promote destructive use of off-highway vehicles. What these legislators, along with the DNR, are attempting, is to essentially allow random cross country travel in our wetlands!
Equally baffling to me is where are the hunting/conservation groups like Ducks Unlimited? Minnesota Waterfowl Association? Minnesota Deer Hunters Association? The Ruffed Grouse Society? Fishing groups? Why the silence on this issue that monumentally affects our wildlife and resource? are they on the side of resource damage or protection?
And shame on the DNR. Minnesotans take pride in our wetlands and the bountiful habitat that they provide for all wildlife. As one of the country's greatest hunters and conservationists said: "Conservation is a state of harmony between man and land. By land is meant all of the things on, over, or in the earth. Harmony with the land is like harmony with a friend; you cannot cherish his right hand and chop off his left. That is to say, you cannot love game and hate predators; you cannot conserve the waters and waste the ranges; you cannot build the forest and mine the farm. The land is one organism. Its parts, like our parts, compete with each other and co-operate with each other. The competitions are as much a part of the inner workings as the co-operations. You can regulate them - cautiously - but not abolish them."
I urge all sportsmen to make your voice heard and stand up for what is right for our cherished public lands. A right to use is not a right to abuse."
That commentary ended on page 13.
A couple of years ago I was caching up by Crosby in the Cuyuna Country State Recreation Area
when I was harassed by a park ranger for Geocaching when it was not allowed there. One thing I did notice is all the damage done by OHV users in the park and I dont think that is allowed there either.
I noticed the mission statement on the DNR website is "State Parks Mission: We will work with the people of Minnesota to provide a state park system which preserves and manages Minnesota's natural, scenic and cultural resources for present and future generations while providing appropriate recreational and educational opportunities."

This was the headline on the WMNN radio website today...
Geocaching Is Catching On
(Undated) -- A new high tech outdoor pursuit is becoming increasingly popular, but not with the D-N-R. Geocaching (gee-oh-CASH'-ing) is like a G-P-S scavenger hunt where people hide weatherproof boxes in parks for other people to find. The D-N-R says due to concerns related to natural resource protection, visitor safety, staff workloads and liability, geocaches are not permitted. Participants say they help parks, because those taking part are encouraged to pick up litter while in the parks. There are more than 13-hundred geocaches hidden in Minnesota right now according to Geocaching-dot-com.
Does anyone else find this quote very odd...
"The D-N-R says due to concerns related to natural resource protection, visitor safety, staff workloads and liability, geocaches are not permitted."
Why didn't the D-N-R tell the reporter that they are working on a policy to allow limited geocaching? Thats what they have been telling us. Are we getting the runaround here?

It could just be a shortened down version to appear on their website that doesn't contain the entire story. Some things may have been left out due to space constraints on their site, or time constraints of the web page author. Maybe the author didn't catch all the points the original reporter had mentioned in the on-air report.
I doubt the DNR is giving the run around to anyone.

Did you guys see the report in last Sundays star and trib'. About the ATV's being allowed in the swamps and marshes in late fall and winter months. I have to admit to not reading it all, but the photo told a lot about the destruction. Guess our feet and boots must be far worse.

I emailed Mr. Quinn from the MN DNR towards the end of March and was hoping to hear from him in time for an update at the MNGCA meeting a couple of weeks ago (which I did not make it to anyway.) I heard back from him today. Here is his update on Geocaching in MN State Parks.
My apologies for the delay in responding. I have been assisting field
staff on a number of presribed burns this spring and that has gotten me
behind on -email and other tasks. The draft policy has been provided to
the commissioner's office where it is being evaluated along with many
other Department policies relative to rules. I'm not able to give you a
date as to when the commisisoner's office will have completed their
review but you can be sure that we'll be in touch with you once a
decision has been made and we know what are next steps will be.
Looks like it is tied up in the leagal system and will take some more time. It has only been two years now since they banned this activity. Looks like they are busy burning down the forests rather than making policy on protecting the forests from Geocachers. Kind of funny.

Here is another update I received from Mr. Ron Hains of the MN DNR.
Let me take a minute to elaborate on Ed's message. Early this winter,
we consulted with the Commissioner's Office for a clarification of our
authority to do a policy on geocaching. We had completed our work on
the policy and wanted to get it out the door, but had become aware of
some changes that we had heard might affect it. Based on information
that we received in that consultation, Parks determined that we could
not procede to deal with geocaching through a policy. Historically, for
the last twenty years or so, we have done that type of policy, but
recent clarifications on the authorities of the Commissioner have
eliminated that as a possibility. We clearly had spent a lot of time
going down what turned into a dead end street. I feel bad about that,
and what we need to do now is resort this into our priorities and get
back to it as soon as we can.
There is an alternative that we can persue, so that helps. That is to
use rule making to establish a direction on geocaching. Right now we
are waiting to see how some pending legislation comes through the
session. The legislation will give the Commissioner some relief from
rule making on some issues. It will not affect what we have to do about
geocaching, but it may affect other issues that we will also have to
handle through rule making. Since the rule making process is very
extensive and usually takes up to a year to complete, we would want to
handle all of the rule changes at the same time. When the legislative
session is done, we will sort out the issues and determine when and how
we can move ahead on them. Geocaching will be part of that plan.
In the mean time, there may be some things that we can do with
geocaching under our existing rules. This will require a total
rethinking of the process we had derived, and it won't accomplish what
we wanted to achieve, but it could be something. We have not done that,
yet, but will take a look at it as soon as we can move it up our
priority list.
I hope that clarifies where we are, and I am truly sorry that we have
not been able to get where we would like to go. I am still convinced
that we can get there, but needless to say, it is disappointing to have
it take so much longer than we had thought.
As you can see, they are making some progress on a Geocaching policy in our state parks. Thank you to the DNR for keeping us up to date on the progress you have been making.

That sounds like we have at least another year to wait.

In the meantime, I suggest a "Don't ask, don't tell" policy, a.k.a. look the other way. Its a well-established government precedent. Who was the DNR guy/gal who got his/her undies all in a bunch in the first place?
I feel bad for the poor cogs at the DNR that are stuck under this umbrella of bureaucracy. The last time I had an issue with the DNR, I emailed Jesse, but he was unable or unwilling to tangle with them (judging from the replay I got back). I wonder if Pawlenty is willing to shake them up?
Did we ever do a poll to find out how many cachers would buy daily or yearly park passes if geocaching were allowed in the state parks? I have bought Carver and 3 Rivers yearly park passes the last 2 years, but have never bought a yearly State park pass. I think I paid for daily parking at a State park once, about 5 years ago.

From Thu 22 May, 2003 19:09, when there was mention in this thread that geocaching could potentially be formally allowed in MN State Parks:
s4xton wrote:
Looks like I'll be buying a MN State Parks annual pass soon.
I bought my Washington County Parks pass because of Geocaching and I'm about to renew it. I'll be the first in line when the MN DNR allows it in State Parks, and I'm not buying one until then. Partially it may be out of protest, but really it's because there are so many other parks that I can visit that geocaching will take me to.
So tally one for me, rickrich - I didn't see a forum poll, if that's what you were asking.
And as for Pawlenty and this administration? I doubt you could get anything on the table. Always worth a shot.

I just talked to Mr. Quinn today. He was quick to return my call. He said that the DNR computers were set up to reject most emails due to a virus that they had in their system. That should be working normal soon.
The geocaching policy is written, revised, and is sitting on an administrators desk waiting for final approval. Once it is approved, then it has to get on their web site. They will then notify us and we will post a link to their policy page. I am personally guessing about another month and a half minimum.
I am not sure what the particulars will be, but this will only cover geocaching in the MN State Park system. I am guessing there will be a list of which parks and how many will be allowed. Working with a local park manager will also be required.
Once the policy comes out they will monitor it pretty closely the first year to see how it works. Thank you for your patience in this matter.

Post subject: Letter Boxes
Just a note to say that I was in a State Park the other day and stubled on a sight that I thought looked like a cache.... It turned out to be a letter box?
I would guess the DNR is not aware of it....I folowed up and see that the letterboxers do place them in State Parks..

When I found the skull in the woods, the first thing I did was call the police. But then I got curious about it. I picked it up, and started wondering who this person was, and why he had deer horns.

Johnson 8 pounds heavier than Nelson? Wow.
I still like Nelson in the fight, but wow.....
Sherdog.com - The number one MMA site on the web today!
Is that fight still going ahead?
Think so Stevie, apparently Gunnar didn't go right down to 170 either after finding out his opponent wasn't going to make the weight.
Not definite, just what I read.
I think the fight is still on. It was announced as a catchweight, but if you notice Johnson asks for a towel and Dana replies with something and he carries on, onto the scales. There was nothing official announced as far as I know so I'm guessing that fights still on. Gunnar as it anyway IMO

Ritter, Josh. Bright's Passage
Henry Bright, a half-shattered young veteran of WWI, came home to rural West Virginia a changed man. With him comes the angel Bright first met in a church in France and whom Bright believes saved his life several times on the battlefield. The angel now speaks to Bright through his horse and Bright feels compelled to take its advice. The angel, foretelling the coming of the next King of Heaven, makes the young man elope with his childhood sweetheart, stealing her away from her family. When she, the most important thing in his life, dies in childbirth, Bright doesn't know what to do with himself. But once again, the angel steps in, telling him to burn down his cabin and head off in search of a new mother for his child, the future King of Heaven. Bright is pursued on this quest by his late wife's brutal, psychopathic father and brothers…as well as by the hellish forest fire sparked off by his cabin.
Lyrical, layered, and complex, Ritter's debut novel is a moving examination of the traumas of war and a delicately limned portrait of a man attempting to move beyond his own past and find his way to a future. Beautiful and moving.

Akthur was great and highly professional and the tour was outstanding."
We are just wild about Wild in Sri Lanka.
We truly had the best guide, Akthar Mohamed. He was knowledgeable, funny, accommodating, interesting and easy to like. The hotels were great and the food was unreal. We felt that there were few changes that should be done....honestly the only thing that we were NOT happy with were the mini bars in the room. None of them were big enough to store a bottle of wine and none of them kept cold. We would go on another On the Go Tour in a minute. PS Our guide was the best and we wish to nominate him as Guide of the Year. Highly recommended company."
I was surprised with Sri Lanka and had a WOW experience. The free cold water on the bus was a daily lifeline! Akthar is an excellent guide. The bus driver did almost the impossible and the assistant was ever present, friendly and helpful. The itinerary was packed and therefore very good value for money. Thanks to On the Go."

Sri Lanka Map
Recommended places to visit in Sri Lanka
With eight UNESCO World Heritage Sites that comprise of remarkable ancient cities, archaeological ruins and beautiful nature reserves home to exotic flora and fauna, Sri Lanka has many attractions to choose from and here's some of our favourites to get you started.
Kandy - Highland RetreatView on map
Kandy is a scenic city surrounded by lush vegetation with a delightfully cool temperature, which acts as the perfect antidote to the heat of the coast. In the centre of the city sits the dazzling lake, looking more like a decoration than a part of nature. Kandy is popular among travellers for a number of reasons, one of which is the Temple of the Tooth Relic, wherein lies the sacred tooth of Buddha.
Nuwara Eliya - Tea PlantationsView on map
Tea is one of Sri Lanka's biggest exports and they sure are proud of it. Witness tea pickers harvesting the crop and enjoy a cup of delicious pure Ceylon tea in the factory of the Nuwara Eliya tea plantation. Once a colonial favourite, this attractive town is a charming confluence of old world England and modern day Sri Lanka surrounded by picturesque hill country.
Udawalawe National Park - ElephantsView on map
Go wild on a jeep safari in Udawalawe National Park, home to elephants, deer, wild boar, buffalo, jackal and much more. Home to over 400 elephants, this is probably the best place to catch a glimpse of a Sri Lankan elephant in the wild with the transit home for baby elephants in need of some extra TLC, plus there are sloth bears too.
Kalutara - Beach BlissView on map
A huge white expanse of sand framed by swaying palm-trees on one side and a beautiful turquoise sea on the other, it doesn't get much better than Kalutara. Whether you want to snorkel, learn how to surf or simply kick back, relax and top up your tan, this is the place to be. Located on the southwest coast, Kalutara can easily be combined with the island's national parks.
Sigiriya - Rock FortressView on map
Perched 370 metres above verdant jungle, the mysterious remains of this 5th century granite rock fortress are well worth exploring. The summit of Sigiriya is accessed by a steep staircase that climbs up the side of the rock, with a collection of Heavenly Maiden frescoes which can be seen en route. The top affords spectacular views of the jungle below and mountains in the distance.
Dambulla - Cave TempleView on map
This UNESCO-Listed cave temples of Dambulla are some of the best-preserved and most impressive in all of Sri Lanka, and it's not difficult to see why. Dambulla is made up of five different caves, each one of covered with wall to ceiling mural paintings and scattered with statues and sculptures of Buddha on a mountain overlooking the verdant plains.

Thumbsucking is a natural habit of infants and young children. They do it to soothe themselves. Children most often suck their thumb when they are hungry or tired.
Some parents are worried by thumbsucking and may even try to stop the infant or child. In most cases this is not needed. Most children stop sucking their thumb on their own by around age 1 or 2.
If thumbsucking continues after the child's permanent front teeth come in (most often by age 5), problems may develop. Pacifiers may cause some of the same problems and should be stopped by age 4.
When older children continue to suck their thumb, it could mean they are bored or feel insecure. Seek advice from your child's health care provider if you are concerned.
There is no "best" treatment when thumbsucking continues. However, these methods often work:
If these methods do not work, ask your dentist or health care provider about the following:

SL notes: La Stella stellar when healthy07/09/2013 6:00 AM ET
By Guy Curtright / Special to MiLB.com
Tommy La Stella's drag bunt single in the first inning against Pensacola on June 9 gave him a .330 average in his first 26 games with Mississippi. The hit, though, came with a price, which has too frequently been the case for Atlanta's No. 16 prospect.
La Stella strained his hamstring just before reaching first base, landing him on the disabled list. Unfortunately, that's a spot the second baseman is all too familiar with.
La Stella, 24, was beaned at Class A Advanced Lynchburg last season, then sat out six weeks after breaking his leg in a collision while covering first on a bunt. This year, he missed Spring Training and the first three weeks of the season because of a sore right elbow.
"It's been frustrating," said the left-handed hitting La Stella, who made it back from his hamstring injury June 29. "You want to play, not sit."
When healthy, La Stella has always hit, and the Braves feel that the former Coastal Carolina standout was a steal as an eighth-round pick in the 2011 Draft.
After batting .398 his last season in college, La Stella hit .328 for Class A Rome and then .302 with Lynchburg last year despite being limited to 85 games.
La Stella went 11-for-20 in seven games with the Hillcats this season after recovering from elbow inflammation, and then was 3-for-6 with two doubles, a triple and five RBIs in his Mississippi debut May 7.
Who needs Spring Training?
"Lynchburg was my Spring Training," La Stella said.
But now the New Jersey native is having to get back up to speed again after sitting out nearly three weeks. Eased back, La Stella had just four hits in his first 21 at-bats, dropping his average to .304.
"I'm trying to get my timing back," he said.
When La Stella does, he will be an offensive force again. He has struck out just 11 times while drawing 18 walks for Lynchburg and Mississippi this season, following his normal pattern.
La Stella has walked 84 times in 194 Minor League games and struck out just 64 times.
La Stella, who started his college career at St. John's, also has some pop. He had 14 homers his final season at Coastal Carolina and has a .467 slugging average this year to go with his .422 on-base percentage.
"I want to be aggressive but make sure it is a pitch I can handle," said La Stella, who drove in seven runs in the playoffs as Lynchburg won the Carolina League's Mills Cup last season.
But for La Stella, the real key is staying healthy. He's spent enough time on the disabled list.
"I just want to be on the field and get as many at-bats as I can," he said.
Although a little bigger, the scrappy La Stella has reminded some of former Atlanta second baseman Mark Lemke. The Braves had a lot of success with Lemke as their second baseman during the early part of their run of National League East Division titles in the 1990s.
In brief
Short work: Chattanooga righty Zach Lee, the Dodgers' No. 2 prospect, got credit for the first complete game of his career, but he had to work just 5 1/3 innings in the rain-shortened 2-0 victory over Jacksonville on Thursday. Lee (7-5) allowed three hits, walked none and struck out five while lowering his ERA to 2.79. In his previous start, he had allowed just two hits over seven scoreless innings in a victory at Huntsville. Lee, 21, is No. 66 among MLB.com's Top 100 Prospects.
On a roll: Huntsville righty Taylor Jungmann (9-6) took over the Southern League lead in victories, defeating Tennessee, 8-2, on Saturday. Milwaukee's No. 2 prospect worked 6 2/3 innings and struck out seven while walking one. Jungmann, 23, is 7-2 with a 2.25 ERA in his past 10 appearances since a 1-4 start to the season and a brief trip to the disabled list. He was the No. 12 overall pick in the 2011 Draft out of the University of Texas.
Power surge: Tennessee third baseman Christian Villanueva homered for the fifth time in 10 games, giving him 11 for the season. He went deep in back-to-back games June 25-26 and July 2-3 before connecting again Saturday. Villanueva, 22, started July by going 9-for-24, raising his average to .259. The Cubs' No. 8 prospect had 42 RBIs. He came to the Cubs from Texas in the trade of Ryan Dempster last July.

San Francisco • There's a bearded and boisterous reliever pulling pranks in the dugout and closing out games for the San Francisco Giants in the World Series again.
No, it's not Brian Wilson though it might be hard to tell.
Sergio Romo pitched a perfect ninth inning for his first World Series save Thursday night, stranding Triple Crown winner Miguel Cabrera the potential tying run on deck to finish off San Francisco's 2-0 victory over the Detroit Tigers.
The crowd of 42,982 cheered Romo's every move.
"You don't feel alone out there. I'm 5-10. I don't feel 5-10 out there," said Romo, who helped the Giants take a 2-0 Series lead. "I feel 6-10. I feel much bigger. I feel important. I feel like my teammates legitimately feel like I'm somebody."
Pandamonium surrounds Sandoval
Pablo Sandoval had more than 300 text messages on his phone when he woke up Thursday morning. Players from around major league baseball, including the rival Dodgers' Matt Kemp, acknowledged his accomplishment on social media. Even Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez tweeted in Spanish, "There goes the third! Pablo makes history!"
Sandoval's three World Series swings truly were heard around the globe.
A day after joining Babe Ruth , Reggie Jackson and Albert Pujols as the only players to hit three home runs in a single World Series game, Sandoval soaked in the moment. He said he was overwhelmed by the reaction.
"I still can't believe it," Sandoval said. "In the morning when I wake up, all the stuff, my friends keep texting me. But, you know, you have to realize what's going on right now in your life, so you have to keep your head up and keep focused."
Designated pitcher
Giants manager Bruce Bochy has been contemplating who to use as his designated hitter when the World Series shifts to Detroit for Game 3 on Saturday night a pitcher has not been among them.
Maybe one should.
Entering Game 2 on Thursday night, San Francisco is the first team to have a pitcher with an RBI in four consecutive games in the same postseason. Barry Zito, who batted .075 with only two RBIs all season, has a pair during the current streak including an opposite-field RBI single to left off Justin Verlander in the fourth inning of Game 1.
Bochy has been leaning toward backup catcher Hector Sanchez to DH for Game 3. He already has said he plans to have Buster Posey catch every game.

Hi All,
I followed the tut lupin gave with regards to creating a non root user in backtrack (like to mention great tut lupin!).
Now everything seems to be fine until i try to use the internet or anything other than LAN.
I can see the entire LAN, i use a router with built-in firewall/ISP gateway. The router has a GUI for admin of the normal type of stuff WIFI config,Lan config, security etc etc. It has its own diagnostic type tools as well. This includes a PING function.
If i ping something for instance like google.com from a shell i get fails, if i navigate to the GUI and use the ping function on there it responds every time.
If i login with my root account i can use the net like normal.
Im rather confused, can anyone shed some light?

University awarded first LEED Gold rating
The University of South Carolina, a leader in collegiate sustainability, celebrated a green milestone on Earth Day (April 22), when it was awarded its first LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) Gold rating for its Honors Residence.
Josh Boltinhouse, the Midlands Branch chairman of the S.C. chapter of the U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC), presented S.C. Honors College Dean Dr. Davis Baird with an official plaque on the lawn of the honors college residence hall, which opened last August.
"We applaud the University of South Carolina for its continued commitment to sustainability," Boltinhouse said. "It is good to see that a major organization like a university is really out there promoting sustainability. That, in and of itself, educates a lot of people on what being green and what being sustainable is about. The thousands of students who come through the university are going out there with these ideas and planting them in the workforce so that this next generation has the background knowledge to be more sustainable."
Boltinhouse said the USGBC is working to produce more responsible, healthier and better places to live. Its LEED certification program is the nationally accepted standard for the design, construction and operation of high performance green buildings. There are four LEED certification levels: Certified, Silver, Gold and Platinum.

Crottin 2 pcs.
The true Crottin de Chavignol is produced from the raw milk of an alpine breed of goat easily recognized by it brown thick coat.
This is one of the rare cheeses that can be eaten at different stages of maturity. for example when the cheese continues to mature after 6 the rind becomes rough and hard over time.
Fresh, it has a creamy, nutty taste. Later on in the maturing process it acquires a pronounced flavour. As the cheese continues to mature, the robust taste increases, but is never sour. Fresh from the cheese vat, it is often eaten clothed in fine herbs and at this stage in the maturing process it has a creamy texture.
After about six weeks the smell is stronger and its pate has become dry and brittle and has a harder texture.

Selling my 6'2" FireWire Dominator Rapid Fire
6'2 x 20 3/4 x 2 5/8- 38 litres
5 FCS fin boxes lets you ride this as a quad or thruste. There is one small ding near the nose and one small delam on the bottom otherwise this board is clean and water tight. Perfect for the east coast, this board packs a lot of foam so it is very floaty. It paddles great so catches waves very easily but is still super maneuverable. Can be ridden from knee high to overhead waves- basically anything you'll find around here. Ideal board for someone looking to get started who doesn't want a longboard or bigger guy who wants one board for all conditions. Incredibly durable due to it's bamboo topsheet and its versatility make this board a great choice for a travel board.Includes traction pad and thruster fin set up (does not include the quad fins pictured). This is a great deal as this board retails for $750. Get it now before summer is over!!! I usually surf Long Beach but am willing to meet up just about anywhere between LI & north Jersey. Board is located in White Plains, NY. I would consider trading for a 5'8-5'10 Rusty Dwart, Birch Accelerator, CI Biscuit or Fishcuit type boards.

Somewhat annoyingly after tonight I wont be able to train for about a month. I will, however, have access to a good gym but not (m)any training partners.
So I want to do something to keep my hand in, and the only thing I can think of are solo drills. I searched youtube and seen loads of different drills, but I've no idea if they're any good. Can anyone recommend some drills or something else that I can do on my own (also considering I have little experience).
Thanks in advance,

Something like this could make these hidden corridors and seldom used easements instantly accessible to folks crazy enough to attempt riding it. [via BikeHacks]

So . . . can you just make requests for results more frequently? Well, yes, you can, but the total number or requests you're allowed to make per unit time is constrained by Twitter's rate limits. Some queries are so popular (hello "Justin Bieber") that it can be impossible to make enough requests to Twitter for that query alone to keep up with this stream. And this is only the beginning of the problem as no monitoring or analytics vendor is interested in just one term; many have hundreds to thousands of brands or products to monitor.
Let's consider a couple examples to clarify. First, say you want all Tweets mentioning "Coca Cola" and only that one term. There might be fewer than 100 matching Tweets per second usually — but if there's a spike (say that term becomes a trending topic after a Super Bowl commercial), then there will likely be more than 100 per second. If because of Twitter's rate limits, you're only allowed to send one request per second, you will have missed some of the Tweets generated at the most critical moment of all.
Now, let's be realistic: you're probably not tracking just one term. Most of our customers are interested in tracking somewhere between dozens and hundreds of thousands of terms. If you add 999 more terms to your list, then you'll only be checking for Tweets matching "Coca Cola" once every 1,000 seconds. And in 1,000 seconds, there could easily be more than 100 Tweets mentioning your keyword, even on an average day. (Keep in mind that there are over a billion Tweets per week nowadays.) So, in this scenario, you could easily miss Tweets if you're using the Twitter Search API. It's also worth bearing in mind that the Tweets you do receive won't arrive in realtime because you're only querying for the Tweets every 1,000 seconds.
Because of these issues related to the monitoring use cases, data collection strategies relying exclusively on the Search API will frequently deliver poor coverage of Twitter data. Also, be forewarned, if you are working with a monitoring or analytics vendor who claims full Twitter coverage but is using the Search API exclusively, you're being misled.
Although coverage is not complete, one great thing about the Twitter Search API is the complex operator capabilities it supports, such as Boolean queries and geo filtering. Although the coverage is limited, some people opt to use the Search API to collect a sampling of Tweets that match their search terms because it supports Boolean operators and geo parameters. Because these filtering features have been so well liked, Gnip has replicated many of them in our own premium Twitter API (made even more powerful by the full coverage and unique data enrichments we offer).
So, to recap, the Twitter Search API offers great operator support but you should know that you'll generally only see a portion of the total Tweets that match your keywords and your data might arrive with some delay. To simplify access to the Twitter Search API, consider trying out Gnip's Enterprise Data Collector; our "Keyword Notices" feed retrieves, normalizes, and deduplicates data delivered through the Search API. We can also stream it to you so you don't have to poll for your results. ("Gnip" reverses the "ping," get it?)
But the only way to ensure you receive full coverage of Tweets that match your filtering criteria is to work with a premium data provider (like us! blush…) for full coverage Twitter firehose filtering. (See our Power Track feed if you'd like for more info on that.)
Stay tuned for Part 3, our overview of Twitter's Streaming API coming next week…

Licensed Psychologist

Psychotherapy can be different things but it has to have respect, be safe, confidential, have good boundaries, and it has to be based on a good understanding of the needs and underlying factors that bring the patient/client to do this work. It is not about specific techniques but a good understanding of the individual's conscious and unconscious life. Dr. Jemail draws from personality theory, communication, traditional and psychdynamic approaches, cognitive behavioral work, work with trauma, understanding of medicine and Eastern approaches to change in order to work with the individual client. Dr. Jemail can provide a path, the individual sets the goals, pace and level of work.

Psychotherapy should ideally be a fun and interesting process of self-exploration. It is often helpful to have a neutral (but supportive) person with whom to discuss your concerns. You should be able to take away something helpful, whether an idea, concept, or a new way of looking at an issue or pattern in your life. It doesn't have to take forever - you should feel within the first session that the therapist generally "got it" and was able to say something helpful to you.

The Water Wars
Reading Level: Grade 6-8
Vera is too young to remember a time she wasn't thirsty. Since the polar ice caps melted and the rivers dried up, there is very little fresh water left. Almost all the northern hemisphere's fresh water is controlled by the Empire of Canada and the Republic of Minnesota. Vera lives in the Republic of Illinowa where she is lucky to get a drink a day.
One day Vera meets Kai a boy with a wonderful, powerful secret. When Kai is suddenly, violently kidnapped, Vera and her older brother Wil naively set out to save him. As they encounter dangerous water pirates, the People's Environmental Army and the sinister organization Bluewater, it becomes clear that the brother and sister probably won't even be able to save themselves.

Discussion in 'Battle Scooters' started by Jarvis, Oct 2, 2005.
Thanks for posting that cbolling. HOT!!!
My new ride:
2009 with 65 miles after the ride to my brother's house where she waits for me to find a residence with garage in two weeks.
~. is mine.. 1952 allstate baby..
Here is a pic My wifes reflex. We call it hers but i ride it. I jist finished up running a 12v cig plug to the handlebars and mounted up a iphone mount. Last night i made the brackets that raise up the drivers backrest. The top box is a bestem 929 and i made up a mount for it. It worked out good because the factory sport lower back support is still functional plus the passenger can lean back just a tad and lean on the back pad on the top box. Oh i put on the tusk mittens for the 28 degree rise today. Oh the black foam pieces on the fairings are from my wife. She didnt want to scratch it if she fell over.
A before and after of a Cushman I did for my Dad back in 1995
Now this is just part of his scooter herd...Dad will be 80 this year.
big fun on fern st. wichita~
This one just arrived at my house and I managed to ride it five kilometers before coming to work. It's an odd fish that ended up in Minneapolis probably from Canada as it has a kph speedometer but the gas sticker on the filler is in English. It has no battery, an on/off/parking switch for the lights, no kill switch and is pre-mix fueled as in 1979 the P series Vespas only offered an oil pump as an option. This machine is simplicity itself which was what I wanted.
If I can run it at sixty miles per hour after run in is complete I will be happy. It has a new barrel and piston from Green Tree Scooters in Iowa and a Sito plus exhaust but is otherwise bog standard (including the wooden front drum brake). It vibrates like a dildo as well which is another reminder of how technology has moved on....I hope I can make this my daily rider as I live 27 miles from work and need to keep the speeding tickets at bay as they are too easy to collect on my modern Bonneville.Oh and the Bonneville doesn't carry a spare wheel!
You may learn to love that spare wheel.
'46 Cushman...
...currently on the local CL (not mine)...
Glad you got it down to FL! It looks really nice. Strange that it a premix model; I really like having the oil tank on mine. Hope it works out great as your commuter.
Hi Evil
my '06 SR50 (70)
In Columbus, Ohio
Thanks dabears. It came by flatbed but that was okay. I am finding the engine seems a little strangled with a lot of help on Modern Vespa I am working up to rejet it and get the engine running smoothly.
Wiring seems ghastly so I'd like to have that redone professionally at some point, but the lights work most of the time.
I am enjoying bringing this machine up to daily rider capability.
Its as much fu to ride an old Vespa two stroke as I remember.
Big Torch Key.
Nice shot, this pic will always bring a smile. Good Times...

I try to make a simple button with jQuery that executes some javascript when clicked. I know there are many articles covering this but I still have some questions.I first worked with an a element and put onlick in the href parameter, this was the wrong way to do it, so I changed it and later on I had an idea that made everything really easy (designwise). I made a div (in most cases) and with jQuery I coded that if the div was clicked, some scriptwork should run, like this;

Click me

$("#clickMe").click(function () {
/* some script */
This seemed to be a good solution, but is it really? If it is, then there's another problem.When I click such 'link' more than once I begin to select/highlight elements on my page. Normal behaviour ofcourse, but how do I stop this?
Thank you in advance.
Unless you must use jquery, I would suggest ditching it and use just plain javascript.
<button id="btn1">Click me</button>

text: Did Sofia Vergara and Tom Cruise go out a few times way back in the day? Yes. That is when Tom was going through his Latina phase. It was also well before Sofia became a household name and was in every commercial that airs. There were some reports yesterday that said the couple were dating again. Could you imagine that? That would be a media frenzy. I guess Sofia wouldn't have to worry about Tom cheating, but Tom likes his women where he can watch them 24/7 and to decide what projects they do and just likes to control every situation. That is not Sofia. I do wonder sometimes if Tom is going to just stay single or if he will find the energy to go through the whole process of finding someone and making us believe it is all true love again. I keep expecting him to show up with some barely known actress he found in Scientology who will be thrilled to have the attention and lifestyle and is willing to do anything for the religion.
