A little blogging wisdom from Teresa of Avila on Blogging and Rachel Held Evans
Let nothing upset you,
Let nothing startle you.
All things pass;
God does not change.
Patience wins all it seeks.
Whoever has God lacks nothing:
God alone is enough.
A brilliant post on the misconception and truth in dealing with haters. Even when that hater is yourself.
"Whether you love or hate your persona, you protect the self with which you've become comfortable. When you observe your own behavior, or feel the gaze of an outsider, you manipulate the facts so they match your expectations…. Be wary of the roles you play and the acts you put on, because you tend to fulfill the labels you accept…." –The Benjamin Franklin Effect

I'm a fan of fancy, attractive titles… you can probably guess how/why I was attracted to this one: First class missions, and everything else that's wrong with the big development agency travel culture …
But more than it's title, this post offers a short thought or two on flying first class as an NGO worker. The donor in me sides with NGO workers flying (cheaper) economy class. Then again, the NGO worker in me can't help but fantasize of a little first class with a nice big, lawn-chair type seat and cooling mask and cocktail during take-off. But wouldn't it be nice, too, if the destinations we were flying to were of white sand beaches and a fancy all-inclusive resort? (sigh) I guess "fancy" is not part of the "mission"…..

Who's who among the 'new' aid donors? from the Guardian — My key takeaways: Whoaaa… India is 8th largest recipient of dev. assistance, but still a major donor. I may be a bit naive here, but given the political context and debate around the U.S. government's international affairs budget (if you're out of the loop on this one, read any of these posts: The moral imperative of humanitarian aid, Debt ceiling debate: Why foreign aid is an issue of 'right-wrong,' not 'right-left'. Federal budget: broad, long-term thinking is needed), I'd imagine that India may be experiencing something something similar? Surely, the "charity starts at home" must exist in India, too. Thoughts from anyone who knows much more about this than I do?

A few posts on Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR)
"…CSR should cease to be a subset of activities/projects within the larger corporate mission, and should become instead a guiding principle of the corporation in the exercise of its mission… one cannot deny the extent to which institutional interests drive INGO behavior, in particular the survival of the organization or of the jobs and way of life of its staff…" — The Corporate Responsibility
"The humanitarian world lacks a clear line beyond which negotiations with a donor, any donor, corporate or other, are terminated categorically on the basis of principle. This is a line that we desperately need to draw, and draw soon…" — Draw the line on Tales From the Hood
"Most (all?) of the bloggers bemoaning the evil corporation and its cynical CSR programmes are from the West, the same West which is responsible for invading other countries, all sorts of unfair trade rules, refusal to acknowledge responsibility for pushing the world to the brink of eco-catastrophe, and other assorted evilness…." — Beating up on Evil Inc — Bottom Up Thinking
"1. CSR is marketing, so the alternative is more Charlie Sheen. ….The marketing imperative leads to some discomfort with CSR. If it's all about marketing, then it exists to promote the donor's others goals and it will come with restrictions that serve those interests. The marketing imperative distorts the good that could otherwise be done with the same resources…." — CSR: J., Charlie Sheen, Karl Marx, and Office Space on Find What Works

Talent Mobility report now available…
2012 Talent Mobility report is now available at the World Economic Forum website. This year's report is entitled " Talent Mobility Good Practices-Collaboration at the Core of Driving Economic Growth". I have served as Vice Chair of the Talent & Skills Mobility Council, one of the Global Agenda Councils organized by the WEF since July 2011, and am particularly delighted to see the report published.
This report has collections of over 50 case studies indicating the specific programs etc. to address talent issues we all face today. We are also in the process of building the knowledge bank of case studies so that people can access. It has been very exciting to be involved with this project, and we have every intention to continue our effort to address one of the urgent issues we all face today, i.e. employment, job creation and economic growth.
We will be discussing more about the report and collaborating actions and mechanisms at the Annual Meeting of the World Economic Forum in Davos in two weeks. For reports, please follow this link.

College career[edit]
Moore played college football at Vanderbilt for three seasons, playing in 37 games, while starting 34 of them as defensive back. Moore recorded 13 interceptions in his career, which is tied for third in school history.
While playing at Vanderbilt, he garnered First Team All-SEC honors from the Associated Press in his sophomore and junior years.[1][2] He was also named an All-American in his junior year,[3] as he helped lead Vanderbilt to victory in the 2008 Music City Bowl, exactly 53 years since the team's last victory at a bowl. In an interview following the game, Moore announced that he would forgo his senior season to enter the NFL draft.[4]
Professional career[edit]
Chicago Bears[edit]
Moore was selected by the Chicago Bears in the fourth round of the 2009 NFL Draft.[5] On May 29, 2009, he signed a 4-year deal with Chicago, signing him through 2012.[6] Moore appeared in three games in his rookie season, serving as a backup cornerback behind Charles Tillman and Corey Graham at the left cornerback position.[7] During the 2010 season, Moore saw considerable playing time contributing as the nickelback when the team left its base 4–3 coverage. He intercepted two passes from Tony Romo during a game against the Dallas Cowboys. On October 24, 2010, he intercepted a pass from Donovan McNabb of the Washington Redskins and ran it back 54 yards for a touchdown. Moore also returned another McNabb interception for a touchdown, but it was nullified due to a holding penalty.[8] In the 2011 season against the Detroit Lions, Moore was ejected from the game for starting a brawl after Lions quarterback Matthew Stafford pulled him down by the helmet.[9]

If I see the dice I hit the dice. I'll just vendor or DE it if I don't need it. If you want it that's too bad but I come first. I'm not running your dungeon to gear you up, I'm there to benefit myself.

Paladin Bash has spoken.
GC actually tweeted about this recently, he mentioned UH/Frost's usage of melee weapons as barriers to realizing your second potential solution. He didn't address your first postulated solution so no comment there, other than I can't initially think of any downsides that can't easily be accounted for. {Edit: agreed, Shaman indeed to look stupid as hell. I gotta say no thanks to mail gear on my Holy Paladin unless it looks the exact same as Ret/Prot gear, which would mean a bunch of confused Shaman would be running around looking like Paladins haha. I don't see this happening, sorry man. Good suggestions though}
I really don't see a problem with Int plate as a whole because I feel like its presence doesn't constrain loot tables enough to warrant violent changes to how some class/spec works. GC said a while back that they would like to do away with it, but right now there isn't a better alternative than just letting it be.
Maybe a spec or two of Demon Hunters will use Int plate once they get added to the game
That is, if demon hunters wear plate at all lol

Just be glad Paly can't roll need on mail/leather/cloth anymore. I used to Need on everything with my Paly.

Should be a system to Need on mainspec, Need for offspec. Greed/DE for everything else. Needing for offspec should only be enabled for that item if the item matches your actual offspec (tough shit there's no tri-spec at the moment). MS Need would always win over OS Need.
Then you'd be wrong.
While you are right in that Fel Armor's spellpower was increased by Spirit, and Glyph of Life Tap increased your spellpower after using Life Tap, Demonic Pact was a raid buff provided only by Demonology Warlocks. Demonic Pact increased the raid's spellpower by 10% of the Warlock's CURRENT spellpower.
As such, Spirit directly increased the effective buff granted by Demonic Pact, and most high-end raiding guilds of the day carried at least one Demonology Warlock geared completely in Spell Power/Spirit gear.
If you think Paladins are in any way overpowered at the moment, then I urge you to look beyond Lay on Hands/Divine Shield and realise we're mediocre at best.
If you're talking about gear rolls, they have plans to implement a system whereby you pick what spec you are rolling for at the beginning of an instance which, despite being primarily for LFR as far as I know, may be implemented in instances/heroics.
A barrier, yes, but not an insurmountable one. All that needs to be done is introduce a spellpower to strength conversion passive, like an inverse version of Sheathe of Light for Retribution Paladins.
Intellect Plate is a problem simply because it takes up a loot slot that punishes groups lacking Holy Paladins, whereas most other Armor types are more likely to be represented. Again, the easiest solution and the one entailing the least mechanic changes is simply pushing Holy Paladins towards a mail-wearing class.
One crazy idea I once had while drunk was actually making the -role- the determinant of armor type, rather than the class or spec. It would be as follows:
Healers: Cloth
Ranged DPS: Leather
Melee DPS: Mail
Tanks: Plate
Do no harm, but take no shit.
True, but Demonic Pact was not *directly* affected by it. The glyph and Fel Armor were both requirements for spirit to give the raid extra SP. As you left the two effects that made spirit useful out, I'm right, you're wrong!
---------- Post added 2012-12-26 at 10:25 AM ----------
Caster DPS are in Leather, then?
Hmm. 5 plate users, 6 cloth users, 12 leather users, 11 mail users. I don't think that'd be better than it is now.
I'm not a native English speaker, and yet, I don't suck at English. The argument "English is not my mother tongue" doesn't actually give you an excuse to do so.
stop talking out of your ass please,
if he Q as a tank, please have some courtesy on needing tank gear and not all kind of plate gear even lower than his, there are more players in this group other than him,
and dont tell me he is building his caped stats gear for lvl 90 at lvl 87, needing on lvl 410 dps plate when he is using tank ilvl 419 is pure greed cause he can...
that is the thing i want to be removed from the table, a class that can need on so many other classes gear, including that INT cape
I don't think there's any crying foul unless it's crit gear at this point, and even then, reforging can still make a lot of use for DPS plate for tanks.
Except that was pretty much the only reason it was used by Demonology Warlocks.
Aside from being useful in a raid, the Spirit severely limited the other secondary stats that Warlock could stack, and the spellpower gain did not make up for this. It was only because of how useful they became in a raid. Couple that with the fact that Demonology was a laughable spec up until 4.0 (when Demonic Pact changed to a static 10% increase), and it was literally the only reason they'd wear gear with spirit on it.
---------- Post added 2012-12-26 at 02:48 AM ----------
And I'm sure you cried about it the entire run, doing far less DPS than anyone else in the run while so doing.
Note that YOU, not the tank, are exactly the type of person I vote to kick in 5 man runs.
That's the pally's problem really, if you're levelling as another spec than they're queueing as, that's no reason to roll on everything that isn't nailed down just because you can, want DPS-gear? queue as DPS.
Though getting worked up over ilevel 410 loot is a bit silly, it has become obvious that people just seem to be utterly unable to behave in a honest way without being forced to, so i'm hoping Blizz will put the LFR-style loot system into 5-mans soon, it's not the optimal solution, but the playerbase can't do better on their own.
Well actually, I was referring to the fact that the OP continually states that the tank was 'probably' just leveling as Protection, and 'wouldn't use the gear anyway'.
And as I and others have said, "DPS gear" is not exclusively DPS gear. Every stat except Crit (which can be reforged) is viable for Protection Paladins.
Closing this. I'm sorry about your LFD experience but rant threads don't encourage constructive discussion and that's evident from the last two pages.

Background and context
In 2012 Wuhan and Lancaster Universities hosted the first International Joint Conference on 'Innovation and Entrepreneurship: Theory and Practice Relevant to China'. At the conclusion of this successful conference Wuhan and Lancaster committed to a series of future conferences on the same theme. This ongoing commitment was aimed at facilitating a growing network of researchers interested in China related research into entrepreneurship and innovation. From the outset it was recognised that experience of theory and practice outside of China would be relevant to informing policy and practice inside China. For this reason the conference aims to be inclusive and work in developing and advanced economies that has implications for China is also welcomed in this second Conference.
The Second International Conference on Innovation and Entrepreneurship (http://ems.whu.edu.cn/eic/EN/01/2011-12-15/8.html) is an adjunct conference. It is co-sited and will take place on the same dates as the Sixth Annual Global Management Conference (http://www.gmconference.ca/). Conference facilities and administration will be provided by Wuhan University for both conferences. Delegates will have the opportunity to share key sessions across both conferences.
Significance of the Topic
China, already the second largest economy in the world, is often perceived as the 'world's factory'. But for the economy to remain vibrant entrepreneurship and innovation in processes, products and services is crucial. At a policy level this is signaled in the 12th five year plan where the goal of 'an innovation orientated society' is identified as a key priority, and leading technology sectors were identified (China Daily, 27 October 2010). In 2012 the policy was reinforced by the Ministry of Science and Technology with a commitment to deepen and accelerate the building of a national innovation system with a goal to foster indigenous innovation. At the macro level, however, despite China's remarkable modernization, the legacy of centralized planning and ownership,state-dominated Chinese financial systems, culture, authoritarian political system and monopolistic business environment may hamper this goal of innovation (Wall Street Journal, 8 October 2011).
At the micro firm level other issues surface. Corporate governance features, including ownership, delegation and monitoring, are all instrumental to firms' innovation, especially the outcome of such activities. Well-governed firms are able to implement innovation with less transaction cost, making such activities more likely to succeed.
Finally, innovation is not necessarily the preserve of large firms or the outcome of centralized policies and planning. Currently, China's SMEs account for 65 percent of all invention patents and 80 percent of new product developments (Miao, 2012). SMEs have been central to China's growth and remain so today, a fact that Miao Wei, Minister of Industry and Information Technology has recognized. This economic contribution, however, can't be relied on as globalization increasingly impacts on innovation and this presents special problems for SMES.
Despite the importance and scope of the above issues, entrepreneurship and innovation research relevant to China is still in its infancy. This conference is a contribution to addressing the urgency for such China related work and welcomes both theory and practitioner based insights.
The conference is jointly organized by Lancaster China Management Centre /Institute of Entrepreneurship and Enterprise Development of Lancaster University Management School, and the China National Research Centre for Industry-University-Research Collaboration/Economics and Management School of Wuhan University. It is focused and seeks to enhance our understanding of theory, practice and policy on innovation and entrepreneurship relevant to China. It offers the opportunity to access recent research into the processes of innovation and entrepreneurship in different organizations which are relevant to China in its new development phase.
Uniquely, the conference aims to provide a common forum within which two strands of research can come together. The first is critical and reflective research embedded directly in the China experience covering culture, education and training, policy, policy implementation, technology transfer and inter and intra firm arrangements. The second is the research outside of China which has the potential to inform the theory and practice of innovation and entrepreneurship in China. This is a rich repository of relevant experience from both advanced and developing economies. The conference is designed to bring these two strands together and to generate insights for theory, including new research areas, policy and practice.
This second conference welcomes and seeks to bring together academics, policy makers and practitioner delegates from China, UK and other parts of the world. It will create a 'theory-practitioner' community with a shared interest in China and in the development of innovation and entrepreneurship. It will be a learning opportunity for all participants and will provide a sound basis for future conferences and collaboration.

By Andy Steven | January 25, 2006
JBL and Jillian Hall were shown backstage (mere moments after I saw them enter the limo; I sat behind the stage) with both talking about the Boogeyman. JBL assured Jillian she had nothing to worry about.
A trailer for Kanes See No Evil was shown. Nothing too out of the ordinary as far as horror movies go.
John Bradshaw Layfield (w/ Jillian Hall) fought Scotty 2 Hotty to a no contest when the Boogeymans music hit and JBL had a bucket full of worms dropped on him. Were talking Carrie & but with worms. They filled the ring. As JBL was becoming freaked out by that, the Boogeyman came out from under the ring and scared JBL to the point where he fell backwards onto the worms, freaking him out even more. He and Jillian eventually ran backstage as the Boogeyman had dinner.
A music video was shown to promote WWE 24/7 to the tune of Van Halens Right Now. Very well done piece capturing key moments in WWE, WCW, NWA, and ECW history. Celebrities like Mike Tyson, Arnold, and Muhammad Ali were featured as well.
Mark Henry & Daivari were interviewed backstage about Henrys title match with Kurt Angle at the Royal Rumble.
Melina confronted Teddy Long backstage, showing him her taped up ankle, the result of Kurt Angles assault the previous week.
World Heavyweight Champion Kurt Angle vs. WWE Smackdown! Tag Team Champions Johnny Nitro & Joey Mercury (w/ Melina) (Handicap match)
- Angle forced Mercury to tap to the ankle lock after belly-to-belly suplexing Nitro over the top to the floor. After the bout, Mark Henry & Daivari came out, with Angle taking the fight to Henry and landing the Angle Slam. The champ applied the ankle lock but, to his shock, Henry powered out of it and kicked Angle to the floor. Henry, Daivari, and MNM stood in the ring and taunted Angle, with Henry signaling that the belt would soon be his, to close the TV broadcast.
After several moments, Angle grabbed the mic and said if Henry thought he was so tough, how would he like a title shot right then and there? Henry accepted and we have our dark match main event.
World Heavyweight Champion Kurt Angle vs. Mark Henry (w/ Daivari & MNM)
- Not bad but very short. Angle reapplies the ankle lock and all the heels come in for the DQ. Moments later, Rey Mysterio Jr. runs out to make the save, eventually hitting a 619 on Daivari, Nitro, & Mercury at the same time. Moments later, Angle set Henry up so Rey could hit the same move on him. Angle and Rey then chanted You Suck in unison with the fans toward Henry, Daivari, and MNM. After the heels left, Angle and Rey posed, with Rey grabbing the belt and doing the Angle spinning pose bit. Angle and Rey then hugged and left the ring together.

Voters could decide whether Prince William should leapfrog his father Charles to become king under a proposed amendment to the Royal Succession Bill.
The new clause would lead to a referendum on whether royal succession is replaced by the next head of state being elected when the Queen dies or abdicates.
A second question is whether the next head of state is elected by popular vote or Parliament. Even a commoner could be chosen under the amendment tabled by Labour MP Paul Flynn. He argued that such a vote would boost democracy and that many people would want William to be the next monarch.
Mr Flynn has tabled a second amendment to scrap royal succession law's discrimination against women. That would benefit not just Prince William's children but also existing royals including Princess Anne, who would rise in the line of succession.

- Democracy

San Jose police Sgt. Heather Randol says the 29-year-old defensive end was taken into custody early Sunday after officers responded to a home in an upscale neighborhood.
McDonald was jailed on felony domestic violence charges. Santa Clara County sheriff's Sgt. Kurt Stenderup says McDonald was released after posting bail.
NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell announced tougher penalties last week for players accused of domestic violence.
San Francisco 49ers General Manager Trent Baalke said in a statement Sunday that the team takes "such matters" seriously but isn't commenting on the allegations involving McDonald without more information.
McDonald has been playing for San Francisco since he was drafted as a third-round pick in 2007.

I saw a lot of doctors before deciding to do my eyelid surgery with Dr Fan. His professional manner, gentleness, detailed consult sold me on doing my surgery. I asked a lot of questions and he took the time an answered all of them. When I called back to the office and asked more questions they returned my call on timely manner. The staff was excellent and made me feel very comfortable. I would recommend Dr. Fan to everyone for any type of surgery, I guarantee you will not be disappointed.

I without question or reservation of any kind recommend Dr. Larry Fan at 77 Plastic Surgery for any tummy or breast procedure. Professional, ethical, caring and a great bedside manner. Thoroughly prepared me, he did not try to sell me. He made sure to thoroughly discuss the benefits, risks and possible complications and not just highlight the positive. I feel so fortunate and thankful to Dr. Fan every time I look in the mirror. This has honestly been the best thing I have ever done for myself. I wish I had done this 10 years ago. I love my new body, thank you so much Dr. Fan.

He is a great doctor with very good bedside manners:) I could not be happier with my decision in choosing Dr. Fan. He is always available when I need him, returns my calls promptly, and cares about follow-up appointments. He wants the improvement for me as much as I want it, and is willing to work with me until the end. Compared to past experiences, he is refreshing and a great surgeon, very talented:)

September 24 -- Electric vehicles are a must have segment for automakers looking to compete in the long term, although traditional engine types will continue to be important, Jonathan Browning, Volkswagen Group of America CEO, told CNBC on Monday. Browning said that the German automaker's strategy is to roll out a 10-year growth plan, which includes a ramp-up in electric vehicle production. >>View Article

Window Sashes
DEAR TIM: Some window sashes in my home are in good shape while others are falling apart. Can I purchase window sash replacement kits that will allow me to maintain the character of my older home? Will the replacement window sash still use the old rope and cast-iron weight? I would love to get a replacement tilt-in window-sash kit to make washing windows easier. Do you think I can do window sash repair, or is it a better idea to buy a new one? Melissa D., North Andover, MA
DEAR MELISSA: Window sashes can absolutely be replaced in many instances without having to alter the actual window frame. The best part is you can buy new window sashes that look old. A window sash consists of the frame that holds the window glass, and the actual glass you look through. Typically the window sash moves while the window frame that surrounds the sash is stationary. The best analogy is to compare a window sash to a door.
Window sash replacement kits have been available for years. These marvelous products allowed me to replace broken or rotted window sashes with new sashes, while the window frame and all interior and exterior woodwork trim was left untouched. The homeowners who I worked for were amazed at how quickly they could enjoy functioning and energy-efficient windows with minimal mess and disruption to their homes. The new window sashes were able to be ordered to fit the existing openings like a glove fits a hand.
You may be able to find a new window sash that will have the groove to accommodate the rope that attaches to the cast-iron weight, but I would not do that unless this is a specialized historic preservation project where you want the windows to be exactly like the old ones. The new window sash replacement kits come with sleek spring-loaded jambs that connect to the window sashes. These sleek jambs are highly efficient, and keep air infiltration to an absolute minimum.
I feel it is best to remove the old window weights, and fill the void space with special expanding foam insulation that stays flexible. This foam insulation will do a great job of stopping air leaks, and will also help to make the inside of your home quieter. Air leaks around windows are a common source of noise pollution. Sirens, irritating road noise, train whistles, urban din, etc. will disappear when you stop air leaks around windows.
You will love your new replacement tilt-in window-sash kit after it is installed. Cleaning windows has never been easier. I have these type of windows at my own home, and really appreciate not having to use ladders to clean second-story window sashes. The tilt-in feature allows you to readily remove the entire sash from the frame if you prefer to clean windows or repaint the exterior of them on a work stand within the room. Widow maintenance couldn't be easier with the tilt-in option.
Repairing window sashes may be possible depending upon the degree of damage. If serious rot has caused the window sash frame to be loose or distorted, it may be better to buy a new sash. But if you have some spots of rot, you can buy special epoxies and injectable wood fortifiers that will make the old window sash like new. The epoxies are sandable and paintable once cured.
The decision to repair or replace should also focus around your fuel bills. Window sash replacement kits can make a considerable difference on your heating and cooling bills as the glass within the sash can be ordered with a Low-E coating and special inert gases between the glass panes. This glass option coupled with the air-tight jambs makes for a highly efficient window. You will be more comfortable inside your home, and the upgraded windows will be more attractive to a future buyer.
One of the great features of window sash replacement kits is that they are do-it-yourself friendly, and they can be done one or two windows at a time. You can save thousands of dollars in installation fees if you try to install the new window sashes by yourself. It is possible to build installation confidence by starting with a smaller window on the rear of your home or some other window that can't be seen from the road.
Be sure you select a window sash replacement kit from a name-brand window company that has made this line of products for years. This will be vitally important if you choose to replace only so many window sashes a year. This may be your plan, if you have a tight budget. If at all possible, try to replace all window sashes at the same time so the job gets completed. At the very least, always replace all of the sashes on any given side of your home at the same time for a more uniform look.
Keep in mind that measurements are very critical. If at all possible, get the window dealer to come to your home to take the actual measurements. If you supply the measurements and make an error, you will have to purchase new window sashes to replace the ones that don't fit.

where do you buy these replacement kits?
I just had a house built this year, the problem that I'm having is the split in these new windows. The contractor wants to put sashes on the windows that are scratched. Should I except that or have the windows replaced
I'm in the process of removing my old dbl hung windows and replacing with a quality replacement/insert window. I removed all 4 weights from the jamb and began filling the void with minimally expanding spray foam designed for windows & doors. What a disaster/mess. The window is 54" high so I can't tell if I filled the entire void. I used a spray foam gun too - thinking it had a greater reach. Can I drill holes where the stop was for the upper sash to see what's happening in there or will that compromise the integrity of the frame? Thanks - any help is greatly appreciated!
My house built in 1925 has double hung windows (top is leaded bottom is clear) I want to replace the sashes only (eliminating the ropes and weights)metal ones that I seen on This old house. Just remove trim carefully, remove weights fill in air spaces. nail or screw in new sashes and replace windows and then trim an done.

Under the Radar and the Biggest EventPosted Monday, July 11, 2011, at 4:39 PM
Sometimes you have to drive to catch the locals play music at the predictable places, but then again often times the most entertaining and fun events aren't always the ones we expect or the ones at those predictable places. Let's make a point this week to mention some musical events that may have normally slipped under the radar, the ones at those unexpected places, and also touch on a few of those main stop events, and give a heads up seven up sneak peek at music in August.
This weekend the performances from Fraught with Peril, Alamo Black, and Archimedian Point & Funkee Noosa at Nathan P. Murphy's is a must attend event in Springfield Missouri. Three of our locals are involved in this event. Nathan Rorabaugh, and Ryan Wallace featured in the Alamo Black band have hailed in Nevada, as well as Fraught front man Justin Larkin. Both Fraught with Peril and Alamo Black have performed in Nevada. This particular event will be held on Friday, July 15th at 8 pm, at the Nathan P. Murphy's Club in Springfield Missouri. If you are under twenty-one please note that the new Springfield city ordinances do not affect Nathan P. Murphy's so minors are still allowed to attend concerts there. A cover charge of $5 for 21 and older, and $7 for those under the age of twenty-one will apply at the door the night of the event. Money well spent, Murphy's is a great venue to see band performances. Make sure to keep your dining dollars local and don't forget to eat at Cherry Street Grill, Del-Way, or another local eatery before you leave Nevada for the show. What's This? Sometimes you don't have to drive for music when it's on the home front at Aaron's! Are they a furniture and electronics store? Correct! This is all true; Aaron's in Nevada Missouri is not the first place you would expect to have a concert but they will be hosting some live music, and a little mini-fest coming up soon. Music is to be provided by the Curse of Shane Moses band, fronted by local guitarist David Moses Byerly, Ft. Scott local Jeremy Wiltse, and special guest drummer Tony Karns filling in for their regular drummer Brice Leonard. The band will be performing on the Austin Marketplace parking lot in front of the Aaron's store in support of raising money for the Relay for Life, and celebrating Christmas in July at Aaron's! Many decorations are up, even a Christmas tree, and well of course the stockings are hung at the counter with care, so lots of people will show up there. Friday July 29, 2011 from 5 until 8 pm the band will perform live for all of the folks that stop by, and the store will be giving away free drinks to help cool folks down while the band heats things up! For a one dollar donation to the Relay for Life folks can get a chance to win a guitar. Then the next day it's time for the biggest event for musicians and music enthusiasts the area has seen in a long time, the FREE Musician's Flea Market and Swap Meet. This is going on Saturday July 30 from 10 am until 6:00 pm on the Butler Music parking lot at 103 W. Dakota Street in downtown Butler, Missouri. There will be a live band, a jam session, a live radio remote from KMOE radio, free water and soft drinks, product demos, and a special one-day only sale at the music store. If you have any musical items to sell you can set up a table in the large paved parking lot absolutely free and sell, trade or buy just about anything you want. There will also be one of the nations most knowledgeable vintage guitar experts there to evaluate or make a cash offer on any old instruments you have. No strings attached. You can set up absolutely free, and there is no admission charge! The entertainment is free, and will include a performance from myself, Dangerous Doug Harper, and will feature several drawings for free gifts, guitar teachers on hand for free mini lessons. All water and soft drinks will be free, evaluation of your vintage instruments is also free, and the host Butler Music will be having a huge sale with many great musical items on sale for as much as 70% off. They will also have a flea market style booth in the parking lot selling returns, closeouts and scratch and dent items. If you have any instruments to sell you can set up free, and of course if you have a band you can also set up free and even play a couple songs on the outdoor stage and promote your band if you would like to. If you have a DJ service you can promote it for free. If you have a karaoke service you can promote it for free. The Butler Music is also looking for a few folks to sell something like food, funnel cakes, ice cream, or whatever! I think they may still have some space for that, but you should call them in advance to set that up if you are interested. For more information or to pre-register just call Butler Music at (660) 679-3500. Now it's time to take a little sneak peek at a couple events coming up in August. Marci Mitchell will be returning to the area and is scheduled to perform at the Sheldon Picnic August 20, 2011 in Sheldon Missouri. She will be returning from Nashville for a visit home, and to showcase her new songs off her newest CD titled "Road Trip". She is fun and heartfelt, with a great singing voice, and fun band. The performance will be in the park on the main stage at around 8pm. Watch for an exact time as the event time comes closer. Then, later in the month at the Viking's 502, Wild Whiskey, which is located three miles south of Nevada just off of Highway 71 on the East side of the road. Point South will be performing! The venue is housed in the same building that was know for years as "Better Place to Be", and now Viking's still seems to hold true to that name in a matter of what people feel when they stop in. The inside has changed from what some folks may remember, and in fact it is larger inside now with a new stage, and dance floor. Viking's will never over charge or break your bank, with great drink specials, and is free to get in on Friday nights for the DJ or Karaoke, then only a small cover of three dollars on Saturday nights when the live music going on. Viking's features top bands from the area, statewide, and out of state artists on occasion. Make sure to post this event to your calendar early: Point South performing live on August 27. The band is made up of four members from Exeter Missouri, and the band performs country and southern rock music. As always remember if an event was missed please make sure to post it in the comments so we all know about it, and can possibly attend. Sincerly, "The" Doug Harper PO BOX 892 Nevada MO,64772 Voice Mail: 417.684.1732 Website: www.localearmusic.com Comments Showing comments in chronological order [Show most recent comments first] WOW!

Isles lose two to leaders, remain in third place
After losing twice to the B.C. Junior A Lacrosse League's top two teams, the Delta Islanders tightened their hold on third place with a 12-8 win over the Victoria Shamrocks Sunday night on Vancouver Island.
The Islanders lost at home 15-10 to the first-place Coquitlam Adanacs Saturday night in the Sungod Arena, five days after falling to the New Westminster Salmonbellies.
Now at 9-6 (won-lost) with six games remaining, Delta is five points up on the Shamrocks and four back of New Westminster.
The Islanders outshot Coquitlam 47-38 in Saturday's clash, but the Adanacs stretched an early lead to three goals by the first intermission and were never threatened. Coquitlam led 5-2 after one period and were up 12-6 after two.
Shawn Richardson, Eli McLaughlin, Evan Messenger and Jonathan Phillips each netted a pair for Delta, with Cody Nass and Tyler Nett adding a goal each.
Nett, Nass and McLaughlin collected four assists each.
Sunday in Victoria, the Islanders fell behind 6-2 early in the second period then outscored the home side 10-3 over the final 32 minutes for a come from behind win.
McLaughlin with a powerplay goal and Chase Fraser with three tallies tied the score at 6-6 after two periods. Mike Henry and Phillips gave Delta a short-lived 8-6 lead, one which was erased on a pair of Shamrocks goals in a 47-second span.
McLaughlin netted the winner with 11 minutes to go, then Phillips added two more to complete a hat trick and Taylor Northway closed out the scoring in the final minute of play. Nett and Messenger were the goal scorers in the first period.
The Islanders were in Coquitlam to face the Adanacs last night, then will host New Westminster Saturday at 8 p.m. in the Sungod Arena.

Peduto vows 'reform', new beginning
January 7, 2014 12:26 AMAs the freezing winds swirled outside on Monday afternoon, Sue and Max Sciullo, the parents of slain police Officer Paul Sciullo, held the Bible that belonged to Bill Peduto's late brother, Tom, as the mayor placed his left hand on its cover, raised his right and uttered the oath of office before a large audience in Heinz Hall.
With that act, the longtime councilman and three-time candidate for mayor officially took the reins of the city, whose confidence in local government may have been shaken by scandal and corruption. In an address that followed, the 60th leader of the city of Pittsburgh declared his intent to lead the city to better days.
"We have gone through some challenging times in the past decade," he said. "It is my job to turn this moment into an opportunity for reform. I understand that my election doesn't complete the task of setting things right. It only offers us a chance to begin."

Mr. Peduto enters the executive's office after a tumultuous year for former Mayor Luke Ravenstahl, who looked on from a seat near the stage on Monday. In his last year in office, his police chief resigned and was indicted and the mayor's office became the subject of scrutiny by federal investigators.
"Events have raised questions about some of our civic institutions, and scandal has caused us to wonder if government can again be a force for true progress," Mr. Peduto said. "Let me be clear: The qualities that make a city successful are the same ones that make a city honest."
And he called these things -- scandal and corruption -- not only a threat to the public's faith in its leaders, but a threat to the economy. The mayor ran on a platform of continuing the reform he began as a councilman, when he sponsored legislation strengthening ethics and campaign finance laws and tightening contract and bidding restrictions to limit undue influence on city dealings.
"The policies that undermine growth -- corruption, self-dealing and disregard for the common good -- are the very ones that doom a city to economic failure," he said. "Good government isn't only a question of civic virtue. It is the thing that determines a city's survival."
He paid tribute to some past leaders -- George Armstrong, David Lawrence, Richard Caligiuri -- and gave an affectionate shout-out to Sophie Masloff, calling her "the steady, sensible and wise woman who needs no last name, because we all know and will always love her as simply 'Sophie.' "
But without naming them, he criticized recent administrations. He noted, for example, the unrealistic spending that led the city to be declared "financially distressed" a decade ago under Mayor Tom Murphy. Mr. Murphy was seated not far from Mr. Ravenstahl.
"Responsibility means facing the facts as they are, especially our financial realities," he said. "I take office in a city still recovering from the disastrous effects of spending money it did not have on things it could not afford."
He buoyed confidence that things would change, referring to the 1,100-page report prepared by transition teams -- comprised entirely of volunteers -- that he intends to use to guide his administration in his first term. He divided this monumental task into three categories: accountability, responsibility, sustainability.
And he assured the audience that many of the problems with city government, his criticism of which became a central theme of his campaign, had solutions.
"I tell you now, there is nothing wrong with the institutions of this city that cannot be repaired with good faith, square dealing and hard work."
The ceremony opened with a friendly rendition of "It's a Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood" by the CAPA 6-12 chorus and musician Joe Grushecky. Faith leaders also spoke, offering not just inspiring but serious counsel. They pushed him to see the city to its greatest potential, but without leaving its most vulnerable citizens behind.
Bishop David Zubik implored him to "unite the city in its diversity" and prayed that "the poor will always be thought of first in every decision."
The Rev. Randy Bush of East Liberty Presbyterian Church urged the nascent mayor to focus his efforts not on reshaping the city's skyline, but to make his legacy his work and investment in the underserved.
"Maybe you have dreams for Pittsburgh that are grand and panoramic," he said. "Remember, the secret of success is not how high you build things, but making sure there is a floor that exists below which no one can fall."
Vanessa German, a spoken word poet and artist, delivered a stirring and energetic poem, bringing the audience to its feet for a standing ovation.
"We rise and claim the reins of change with both hands!" she said, in a cadence and tone befitting of a preacher. "We aim ourselves to the stars for we are champions and the city is ours today and we claim it, singing against the steel mills, foothills that still call our grandfathers name. We rise with the horizon of luminous high-rises and rivers' shine, for the future is bright and it is getting brighter."
Much of the local delegation of state and federal legislators was present for the ceremony, along with a representative from Gov. Tom Corbett's office. Longtime ally Rich Fitzgerald, the Allegheny County executive, was there along with Allegheny County Council members.
So, too, were representatives from a laundry list of unions and local judges.
Sonya Toler, spokeswoman for Mr. Peduto, said there was no official head count but that around 3,000 tickets had been distributed for the event when it was to be held outdoors in the portico of the City-County Building. The mayor's team decided to move it indoors because of dangerous weather conditions.
"It is cold out there today," Mr. Peduto said, in closing his address. "Let's warm our city with the fires of reform and the sunlight of a new era."
And indeed, outside the warmth of Heinz Hall, temperatures were falling swiftly with sub-zero wind chills. A few hours after he delivered his address, delivering rhetoric about a "city that glows with the hope of revived neighborhoods," he was headed back to the fifth floor of the City-County Building, where he crossed the threshold of the mayor's office for the first time in his official capacity.
His first task? A news conference about the weather.
On a day filled with allusions to the city's history, its immigrants, its mayors past, it seemed almost inevitable that the new mayor would end up at the Heinz History Center.
Undeterred by the cold, thousands of his new constituents lined up outside the Smallman Street entrance Monday evening. Lines of cars snaked around the block jockeying for parking spaces in the crowded Strip District streets.
Inside, they jammed exhibit spaces and stairwells. Food stations donated seemingly by every imaginable eatery, dotted the floors.
On the fifth floor, guests got in shape for the cold outside, munching on Klondike bars as a parade of Pittsburgh musicians played in the large meeting space overlooking the Allegheny River.
In the great hall downstairs, the musical array included the Deryck Tines Gospel Choir, the River City Band, Etta Cox and Al Dowe.
U.S. Rep. Keith Rothfus, R-Bradford Woods, was one of a noticeable smattering of Republican minglers. Noting that he had attended the Heinz Hall event earlier in the day, he said, "I thought the mayor had some very good remarks. I really liked the good government message."
"He's a data-driven guy. I like to look at data myself. We need a strong Pittsburgh," Mr. Rothfus said. "A strong Pittsburgh is good for a strong southwestern Pennsylvania."
Just a few steps away, former city Councilman Doug Shields, Mr. Peduto's longtime council ally, was savoring the evening.
"The city has never had a person so well prepared to take the office," he said of his old friend. "And more importantly, Mayor Peduto has assembled the most incredible administrative staff I've ever seen. Bill's going to bring a lot of good serious business to the city, but it's also going to be a lot of fun."

Cerberus, I use the ENO SingleNest for now. When I put my rign buckles in today, I took out the standard cord that was there for the biners and replaced it with 2.8mm Spyderline and tied it in the same configurations as the stock line, but with the ring buckles on the end. That means I have less distance between the hammock and buckle, so I don't have to worry about it affecting my sag. I'll have pics to come in the next couple day, still trying to finish up the details of this section hike and get ready for the trip to Charlotte.
BB, if the CC buckle work for you, then go for it! Like I told you today, I don't make fun of anyone's gear if it works for them. That's all that matters.
"If you play a Nicleback song backwards, you'll hear messages from the devil. Even worse, if you play it forward, you'll hear Nickleback." - Dave Grohl
A lot of talk about knots around the ring and web slippage. Here's my system that seems to work well:
On each end:
- One 2ft length of 5mm "climbing" rope (1122 pounds), tie the ends with a square knot to form a loop about 1 foot long.
- Lark's heads on both the hammock and the rings, try very hard to equally distribute the tension on both spans.
- 1" polyester webbing, 15' long (1500 pounds) from an auto parts store for motorcycle tie down (I really don't care for the camo, but for $9.99 it fit my budget) ?same as harbor freight?
As you can see in the pix, the tag end is loose, don't even need a girth hitch or whatever, but I will tie it off when camping.
I tried the Lark Head on my rings but it did not seem to keep the rings aligned with each other well enough to eliminate a slippage problem. I changed to the Anchor Hitch and don't have that problem.
"Work to Live...Don't Live to Work!"
Camo looks nice, or much better than the bright yellow straps I have been using. Did you get 2 X 15' straps for $9.99? Which auto parts store did they come from? All the camo straps I have seen have been like $20 for 2 straps.
They look to be about the same thing as Harbor Freight. Most stores (WalMart, Big Lots, K-Mart, etc) sell the polyester webbing ratchet straps, but Harbor Freight has been by far the cheapest ones i have found to date.
Light thinks it travels faster than anything but it is wrong. No matter how fast light travels, it finds the darkness has always got there first, and is waiting for it." -Terry Pratchett
Another vote for the anchor hitch. I use that on my ridgeline and hammock supports. Works good enough so far.
Is that too much to ask? Girls with frikkin' lasers on their heads?
The hanger formly known as "hammock engineer".
I just picked up the HF strap yesterday for $2.99. Havent tried it out yet (thats tonight!)
Next question:
I have the HH Desert Rat.
1. How imperitive is it to use the straps around a tree?
2. Can the cord that is attached to the ends hammock be used to wrap the tree?
3. Anyone know the diameter of this cord?
Get busy living, or get busy dying.
Although I've seen a couple dissenting opinions on this, I think the majority opinion is definitely that straps of some sort should be used on trees. The small, lightweight cords we like to use for suspensions cause damage to tree bark, which over time (or in some cases even after a single use) can kill trees. This is a courtesy to all other hangers, in exactly the same spirit as LNT.
"Physics is the only true science. All else is stamp collecting." - J. J. Thompson
$9.99 for two (and the cam buckles that got tossed). There are 4 different auto parts stores next door to each other nearby (O'Reilly's, Autozone, West, NAPA). I don't remember now which one it was, but they were in the $9.99 bin in the front door mixed in with screwdriver sets, rubber mallets, etc. etc. Looks like they had been on the rack for a long time, the packaging was VERY dusty.

Catavino Heads to DO Montsant for Another Regional Report!
What is a regional report? Well, it's as detailed and comprehensive as your yearly physical, only a hell of a lot more fun! We create a website dedicated to a specific region and pack it full of information. Articles you'll encounter generally include: typical grape varietals, winemaking trends, interviews with winemakers, tasting notes, culinary history and tradition, places to stay and enough photos to create your own coffee table book. In short, our intention is to answer any and all questions you have on a given region.
And as the title of this post has already disclosed, we're heading to DO Montsant this Thursday where we'll spend 3 days and 2 nights visiting approximately a dozen+ bodegas, a half dozen restaurants, and who knows what else we'll encounter in between.
However, Father Time has been unyielding with us, and it's been over a year since our last regional report when we dedicated a week to DOC Rioja, exploring its vineyards, rummaging through its historic past, demystifying its fame, and generally providing you with our impression of what you can do and find in this legendary wine region.

[1]On news of its third-quarter report today, Caterpillar (NYSE:CAT[2]) stock slipped in early-morning trading, but the fall was short-lived. The stock rebounded and is now up about 0.5%.
In Q3, earnings climbed by 49% to $1.7 billion, or $2.54 per share, and revenues rose by 4.6% to $16.45 billion. Analysts were looking for earnings of $2.22 and revenues of $16.77
And yes, CAT's outlook was a bit of a disappointment. For the full year of 2012, Caterpillar is now forecasting EPS to range between $9 to $9.25 per share and revenues to be $66 billion. The prior guidance was for $9.60 in EPS and revenues of $68 billion to $70 billion.
In fact, the company figures 2013 revenues will be about the same as this year's, plus or minus 5%. The Street was forecasting a revenue gain of 4%.
As should be no surprise, Caterpillar is feeling the pressure from the slowdown in global growth, especially in China and Europe. It's been the same story with other multinationals like McDonald's (NYSE:MCD), IBM (NYSE:IBM[3]) and Intel (NASDAQ:INTC[4]).
Keep in mind that foreign central banks have had relatively tight monetary policies, which has been a drag on growth. What's more, uncertainty continues regarding the upcoming presidential election and America's "fiscal cliff." So, in such an environment, it's easy for Caterpillar's customers to hold off on purchases of bulldozers, wheel excavators and backhoe loaders.
Yet, there still are positive signs. For example, the recovery in the U.S. housing market should be a nice boost. Caterpillar has a strong presence in the construction equipment segment.
As for CAT's valuation, it is certainly reasonable. The price-to-earnings ratio is about 9x. The dividend is also at a decent 2.5%.
But again, the macroeconomic headwinds will likely last through 2013, which will mean stalled growth. Thus, for those looking at investing in Caterpillar, the opportunity is mostly about CAT's long-term potential[5]. And that certainly is bright. No doubt, the company continues to generate strong cash flows, has a top-notch brand and has an extensive dealer network, which spans 138 countries.
In the meantime, though, the stock isn't likely to have any major catalysts to get it moving. So, investors should be in no rush to jump into it for now.

Michigan lawmakers are considering a mid-year budget bill that would give extra cash to state and local governments struggling with higher snowplowing costs.
The Senate Appropriations Committee amended the legislation Tuesday to spend $100 million more on road maintenance.
Legislators in the current budget put an additional $230 million into a fund for roads or other "risks." They announced half would fund 103 transportation projects across Michigan.
Now lawmakers are looking to use all but $15 million of the balance to account for heavier-than-normal salting and snow removal along roads. Another $2 million would go to municipalities for tree debris removal after the December ice storm.
The panel is expected to approve the bill Thursday. It also accounts for less in savings than expected after Republicans delayed expansion of Medicaid.
