I thought it was rather, mmm, humorous. Now, we have to consider that this IS a news report, and I am not sure that in 1897 the reporting was all serious, or factual, and well, we do sell papers with a bit of controversy, right?? I mean, Dan, really, making love to 42 women in 1897? So, I decided to do just a bit of research, I did not want to spend a lot of time on it, but, ya, I was driven to go have a quick look. So, over to FamilySearch.org I went and I found:

I did not discover Daniel on the 1900 census, I did find a possible on the 1910, noting 1910 said he was single and he was not living in Lenawee County.
I discovered Daniel's fate, at SeekingMichigan, note it says he is a widower:
I have done no further research on Sophia cause I have to get back to the formatting this book. My break is over.

text: Why The Dipstick Is DyingSam Smith4/26/10 11:00amFiled to: RantsOildipstickMaintenanceFuturismchangesoil changeMinority ReportCars of Future PresentdipStickFeatureTop4052EditPromoteShare to KinjaToggle Conversation toolsGo to permalinkTechnology, along with laziness and market research, is killing the oil dipstick. Is this important? Should you care? Will we miss it when it's gone? Yes, yes, and an emphatic yes. Here's why.AdvertisementConsider the lowly oil dipstick: It lives in a dark, hot cave. It gets covered in processed dinosaur bones and nasty, carbony sludge on a regular basis. Once every few thousand miles, it gets forcibly yanked out of its home, wiped down, shoved back into its house, and then yanked out again. Its world is built of inconsistency, shock, and extreme conditions.If the average dipstick were conscious, it would probably spend most of its existence thinking one thing: My life sucks.AdvertisementGood thing, then, that the dipstick is not a person. It doesn't have feelings, it doesn't want to talk to you, and if you ball it up and throw it into your trash compactor, the police won't show up at your house asking a bunch of irritating questions. And now that it's gradually being phased out of existence, it can't complain.Wait — the Dipstick Is Going Where?If you own or regularly use a car, that last sentence likely prompted one of three thoughts:1) I like dipsticks, new cars suck, this is why my Nomad/Raceabout/E-Type/Starion rulesSponsoredor2) Yeah, it sucks, my awesome new car has no dipstick, I miss itAdvertisementor3) Huh?The first two reactions are understandable; they represent the outcry of a population that enjoys a physical connection to its cars. The third is the root of the problem. You use your engine's dipstick to check oil. If you don't check your oil, you don't use your dipstick. If you don't use your dipstick, you arguably don't need your dipstick. And if you don't need it, you don't notice when it's taken away.Why Is This Happening? Why Should I Care?Walk into a new car dealer, any new car dealer. Chances are, if you start poking under the hoods of some of the more expensive vehicles, you'll find at least one model that uses an electronic oil-level gauge in place of a traditional dipstick. If you want to check the oil, you don't have to get out of the car or get your hands dirty. And if you're too lazy to check it — or just don't care — you don't have to worry. Your car will tell you, via a warning light or an alert gong, that it's time to add or change oil.AdvertisementAs other outlets have reported, this switchover is intentional. It started with a handful of European luxury marques (Audi, BMW and Porsche), and is gradually making its way downmarket. And it's happening by popular demand. Common wisdom holds that the dipstick is dying for cost reasons or environmental concerns, but neither of these theories are true. We're losing the dipstick, manufacturers claim, because most of us don't use it.What does this represent? Why should the disappearance of a small, relatively insignificant part in a car's engine be something we mourn? Simple: It's a signpost. Once upon a time, people checked their oil because they needed to (think early diesel or Wankel engines), because all machines require maintenance, and because few people will pay someone to do something they could easily do themselves. But it was also an act we subconsciously enjoyed: We take satisfaction from the things we own and use when we feel like we have some control over them. Is there truth to the idea that few modern cars ever use oil or possess user-serviceable parts, and that physically checking your oil level is a near-redundant and irrelevant routine? On a certain level, yes. Still, that isn't the whole story.AdvertisementBy way of illustration, I once dated a woman who knew absolutely nothing about cars. She drove a late-1990s Toyota Corolla, and while she was not an enthusiast, she was an intelligent girl who liked having a bead on the world around her, a world that included her car. I helped her change her brake pads once or twice, but the only maintenance action she really appreciated was checking her oil — she did it every time she got gas because it made her feel like things were OK. In a world that rarely makes sense, she could confirm for herself that one thing about her car was the way it was supposed to be. The confidence may have been somewhat hollow, but you couldn't deny that it existed or mattered.Do a sensor and an oil-level gauge do the same thing? Of course. Still, the room for error is disconcerting. Sensors fail; computers have glitches; readouts aren't always correct. A certain intangible quality is missing, even if it isn't immediately apparent. For a certain segment of the population, machines will always be mysterious, and nothing will ever change that. (My grandmother once got confused by her digital toaster oven. Ce la vie.) This doesn't meant that technological distance — the growing gap between the number of machines we use and how well we understand their inner workings — is a good thing.AdvertisementThe enthusiast's argument — we like our cars, we want to know more about our cars, and an LCD screen is nowhere near as involving as the physical act of yanking out a dipstick — is a drumbeat most people know by heart, so we won't touch much on it here. Still, it would serve everyone well to remember its core construct: Responsibility is good, it's being taken away, and we want it back.A Closing ThoughtThis is not a Luddite screed against technology or the relentless march of progress. We here at Jalopnik like machines, we like gadgets, and we like computers that make our lives easier. As long as there are lawyers, government regulations, engineers, and people who want driving to be as appliance-like as possible, cars will evolve. This is not always a bad thing, but we are damn wary of what it means.Consider this post a friendly caution. Once the dipstick disappears altogether — and make no mistake, it will — then what comes next? And after that? What future deprivations will be birthed by our laziness? This change may not seem to matter now, but it marks a long trend, a movement away from individual responsibility and the man-machine connection. Fifty years from now, when your Minority-Report-like automated transport device silently whisks you along a computer-controlled highway, when you're longing for vehicular involvement and a world where cars are actually fun, remember that evolution moves in baby steps, not giant lunges. And remember that wherever our society goes, it gets there by choice.AdvertisementPeople don't want to check their own oil? Fine. It may not be the beginning of something, but it's certainly not the end.

All the quilts coming our way are just awesome!
It's not over til it's over!! We got back from our RV Gypsy Trip last week, and the first thing I did was open a package from Happy Cat Quilter with a terrific batik fall doll quilt inside. It was worth coming home for, altho we had a wonderful time on our trip. Thanks you so much, Happy Cat - I'm not seeing your pics posted, so I'm going to give it a try so the others can see this darling quilt. I have my troubles with camera and technology, etc, but am going to give it a shot this afternoon.
Can't wait to see it!!!!
Well, nothing is easy for me on the computer, but my Techie husband helped me get my photos onto my data drive finally this morning (compllications too numerous to elaborate on), and I hope I reduced them to printable size for the board, so hopefully - TA DAH! my beautiful doll quilt from Happy Cat!
No luck yet - will review instructions and try again.
Here are photos of Happy Cat's "Autumn Harvest" I love the batiks and think her color choices are super. Also the leaf details are so interesting and dimensional. Thanks again, Linda for this cute seasonal piece!
Happy Cat wanted me to post mine also, since she had a problem about this, so now that I'm on a roll, here are three snapshots of the doll quilt I sent to her.
I was inspired seeing this pattern on the QB in full size quilts, and decided to try it for myself in minature. Then I got the bee in my bonnet to quilt it in my decorative stitches that I enjoy on my machine. My FMQ is quite amateurish (and it probably will continue to be) but I enjoy trying it out once in a while. My daughter keeps telling me "Done is better than Perfect" so I "just do it." This was a fun project and I'm appreciative to the board for sponsoring these swaps, and to my partner for sharing her skills!
Nice, nice work ladies! :)
Thank you for the kind words and for posting both of our little quilts! I really enjoy gazing at mine from you; it is hanging on my sewing room wall. You truly have patience working with such little pieces and they are so purrfectly done :)
Thanks again to an awesome partner!

A closed head injury is trauma to the head that does not cause a break in the skull. Though the skull is intact, the brain and soft tissue can be damaged by violent movement of the brain in the skull. This can lead to bleeding and swelling inside the skull.
This type of injury is often minor but can lead to a traumatic brain injury which can cause a range of symptoms. Brain injury may be caused by the initial trauma or secondary injury. Secondary injury is caused by bleeding and swelling that is severe enough to increase the pressure on the brain. This pressure can lead to secondary damage and symptoms which may take hours to days to develop.
Closed head injuries are caused by a blow to the head or severe jerking motions of the head, neck or body. The most common traumas associated with head injuries include:
- Accidents (such as automobile, work-related, sports-related)
- Falls
- Abuse, such as shaken baby syndrome
Symptoms can appear right away, or in the days and weeks following the injury. Symptoms may include:
- Headache
- Loss of consciousness or sleepiness
- Dizziness
- Having trouble with memory or paying attention
- Double or blurry vision
- Nausea
- Problems speaking, communicating, or putting thoughts together
A doctor should be consulted right away if any of the following is present:
- Seizures
- Vomiting
- Pupils that are larger than normal or different size pupils
- Unexpected mood swings or behavioral changes
- Drainage of blood or clear fluids from nose or ears
- Weakness or numbness in arms or legs
If you have been evaluated for a closed head injury and your symptoms are getting worse, get medical help right away.
You will be asked about your symptoms and how the injury occurred. A doctor that specializes in the nervous system may be consulted.
Neurological tests will be completed. The tests will include observation of eye movements, limb movements, the ability to follow commands, and coherence of speech. The tests will help assess the impact on the brain tissue. The tests will also mark current level of symptoms to help measure any improvement or worsening.
A CT scan may be done if there are severe symptoms or certain risk factors but are not always needed.
Treatment will depend on the location and severity of the injury and specific symptoms. Both mental and physical rest will be needed to help any brain injury heal.
Minor (Mild) Injury
Minor injuries can temporarily affect how the brain works. It can affect brain tasks like memory, balance, concentration, judgement, and coordination. With simple rest, nearly all will have a full recovery.
Both mental and physical rest will be needed to allow the brain to heal. This includes limiting mental tasks like work or school. Returning to normal activities too soon can make symptoms worse and slow recovery. A gradual return to activities will also help minimize symptoms and continue recovery.
Return to a sport or recreational activity that was involved with the head injury may take longer. A second head injury before the brain has fully recovered can lead to more serious brain injury and damage.
Moderate or Severe Injury
Moderate or severe injuries can cause a lot of bleeding and swelling in the brain. The brain sits in an enclosed pocket made of protective tissue, a fluid called the CSF, and the skull. The bleeding or swelling of the brain or supporting tissue can suddenly increase the pressure in this pocket. The pressure can damage the brain and make current function difficult. With a closed head injury the skull remains intact which prevent a relief ffrom the pressure build up.
Immediate emergency care is required for moderate or severe head injuries to:
- Manage current injury
- Decrease risk of further injury
- Provide support like oxygen if needed
Medication may be used to help reduce swelling on the brain. The injury to the brain may stimulate seizures. Medication may help to manage or stop these seizures.
Surgery may be needed to help relieve this pressure. Options include:
- Making burr holes through the scalp and skull to allow excess fluid to drain out.
- Craniotomy—removing a section of the skull to allow room for swollen tissue. May be needed if the brain is swelling.
Regular testing and monitoring will assess how the brain is recovering. It can take months or years for a complete recovery though symptoms should gradually improve during this time. The length of recovery will depend on a number of factors such as severity of injury, overall health, and age. Neurological and psychological testing will help monitor progress and guide rehabilitation.
Rehabilitation services such as physical therapy or occupational therapy may be needed during recovery for people with severe injuries. Therapy may help relearn movement, speech or memory processes, or adjust to challenges during recovery. Counseling may also be needed to manage frustration and anxiety during extended recoveries.
A closed head injury is often the result of an accident which can be difficult to prevent. To decrease the chance of severe injuries during an accident:
- Always use seatbelts, shoulder harnesses, and child safety seats when traveling in vehicles. Follow recommendation for child car safety options.
- Learn about the air bags in your car. Young children should not be placed in front of airbags. Check your cars specifications.
Wear a helmet when participating in high risk activities such as:
- Riding a bike or motorcycle

Well, I have just bought my 1st ever RSA amp, the Tomahawk. After many years and many, £1000's I've just made a startling discovery in that the Tomahawk is absolutely amazing. I mean amazing!! It has the blackest background I have ever, ever heard, no distortion, not one little bit, just pure sound as it was meant to be. I am gobsmacked. Most of my amps are opamp rollable so not optimized for a specific curcuit but I'm beginning to think I've just been adding distortion or colour by rolling them and can see why people rave about Ray's amps.
I've owned and still own many amps, portable, transportable, Hybrid, balanced etc... but didn't expect much from the Tomahawk because I bought it on a whim after a brief listen to a guys who came to buy my D7000's recently. Dunno, maybe the RSA house signature is something I spent all these years looking for and at last I think I have a brand I could be happy with forever.
The question is, how much better is the 71B? If it's substancially better then I guess It will be a no brainer and I'll have to start gathering fundage. I am really exited to find something that flicks such a big switch after all these years.
Any comparisons or personal experiences would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks guys

Alot of cards are parodies of people, movies, games ..... etc
I noticed that that FEMALE looks like Mr T... i forget the name of the card, i think its in the Bangers though..
There are also original and Borrowed/Shared characters in the collection.
No, Meroo is Mr.T
Tyler at lvl 5 looks a bit like Tyler Durden in my eyes wich is the sole reason i wanted that card ... yes i like fight club =)

Fifty = 50cent gunit? if so wheres FLAVAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA FLAVVVVVVVVVVV
Tyler is just Brad Pitt in my eyes. Goes from A River Runs Through It (or possibly Legends of the Fall) to Se7en then Snatch and ends at Fight Club. Thats my theory anyhew!

Amarildo de Souza went missing in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil on July 14, 2013 after being stopped by police for questioning. His disappearance has gained an unprecedented amount of attention -- and police have become the target of blame.
"We're not going to get my father back alive. All I want now is justice, that's it," Anderson de Souza said. "Things have only gotten worse since the police came here. At least when the drug gangs had control, we knew the rules. Now, there is only fear. Police are snatching people up randomly, just like my dad."

Madhouse's 'Redline' Anime Is A Hurricane of Spectacle And Originality [Video]
A cursory glance at the front page of popular anime streaming site Crunchyroll will give you a pretty good idea of what the anime industry looks like in 2010. The industry is fairly well dominated by by-the-numbers shonen, borderline creepy moe, the umpteenth version of "Gundam," and big-boobed softcore tease cartoons for shut-ins. If you look at what's hitting TV screens this fall in the world of anime, barring a few precious exceptions, you'll see an industry desperate to find new ways to cater to the same old audience. And then you have Takeshi Koike's debut feature film "Redline," a visually spectacular breath of fresh air that just saw a limited release in Japan and stateside.
Make no mistake: "Redline" is a triumph. The animation is stunning, the pace is spot-on, the music is fitting, and the film itself doesn't overstay its welcome. It is so infused with fresh action that it made me feel like I did back when I first discovered anime. It is an exercise in excess and style above all, with a story just thick enough to hang a number of fantastic action sequences on, but not so detailed that there's actually any real character development. There is a race, a conflict, a group of bad guys, a love story, and an exotic setting and weird cast of characters. That's it. That's all it needs.
"Redline" is an assault on your senses, but not in a negative way. Again — it's about excess. Every frame and scene is packed with visual information to absorb. Its pores are clogged with things to take in. Characters exercise while chit-chatting, worms wiggle on a plate, characters drool beer, cigarette smoke fills the screen, and beads of sweat drip from immaculately animated bodies. When the race is on, clouds of dust and sparks from nitro provide even more food for your eyes, all tiny bits of animation that add a lot of flavor and style to the film.
You cannot passively watch "Redline." It demands your rapt attention. Looking away, even to wipe the tears of laughter from your eyes, means that you're going to miss gigabytes of visual information. "Redline" is distilled spectacle, so bent on entertaining you that every action scene is much, much bigger than the last. A brutal car crash is topped by a mid-air dogfight. The dogfight is topped by a breakneck chase over a dam. The dam sequence is topped by something entirely unexpected, which is then topped itself. The progression of action scenes is reminiscent of the "Can you top this?" antics of classic shonen manga, but played so melodramatically and over the top that it can't help but be a knowing wink at the audience. "You might have seen something like this before," says Redline, "but it was never quite like this, was it?"
"Redline" is a feast. There is a lot going on in every frame, and every scene is peppered with comedy. The racers, from the extravagantly sexy Superboins to the pompadoured JP in his Transam, are distinct and fascinatingly designed. The final scene manages to top every other scene in the movie, and still wrap things up in a bow. It's original, fresh, and you get so much bang for your ten bucks that it isn't even funny. The seven years of work and over one hundred thousand hand-drawn images truly pay off. This is the movie that "Speed Racer" was dying to be, and it's the perfect antidote if you're suffering under the weight of all the cute girls and long, drawn out fights that infest the current season of anime.

LEHI, Utah – FC Dallas used second half goals from forward Ruben Luna and midfielder Bryan Leyva to record a 2-0 victory over Real Salt Lake in the 2011 MLS Reserve League opener for both sides at a chilly XanGo Field. The match marked the first contest in Central Division play for Major League Soccer's revamped edition of the Reserve League after returning from a two-year hiatus.
A back-and-forth first 45 minutes saw both sides take the few opportunities provided to them well, with RSL goalkeeper Kyle Reynish and FC Dallas netminder Chris Seitz both diving low to turn away dangerous opportunities within the opening half hour. Both backstops would also dart off their lines to stop breakaway opportunities later in the half, with the one-time RSL product Seitz thwarting Salt Lake forward Conor Chinn's attempt in the 34th minute, followed three minutes later by Reynish stopping Dallas captain Bruno Guarda's attempt at the top of his area.
FC Dallas would start the scoring in the 52nd minute, when Luna stepped up to take a penalty kick he earned himself after Real Salt Lake defender Rauwshan McKenzie took him down a minute earlier upon entering the top of the RSL penalty area. Luna's firm finish into the upper right corner was followed 11 minutes later by Leyva's strike from distance, as the FCD midfielder punished a popped-up RSL clearance by smashing it on the full-volley from 25 yards out past a helpless Reynish.
Both squads will renew Central Division play at home against the Colorado Rapids in the upcoming weeks, with FC Dallas welcoming the Rapids to Pizza Hut Park on Saturday, April 9 at Pizza Hut Park (11:00 a.m. CT) before Real Salt Lake hosts its Rocky Mountain Cup rival in Reserve League play at XanGo Field on Thursday, April 14 (12:00 p.m. MT).

You can find nori in the big Danube in Serafi Mega Mall (very expensive though). For sushi rice, it's very hard to find almost impossible. I have been using Thai glutinous rice as a replacement, and it just works as good. Haven't seen wasabi in Jeddah. -

Thanks and regards.

The night passed, peaceful and deep and Lisa was getting a good night's sleep for the first time in weeks. Needless to say she was not happy when she suddenly woke to full alert. She sighed as soon as she recognized the reason. He was standing by her bedroom window, slightly glowing and transparent and dressed in his full medicine regalia. He saw that she was now awake and spoke to her.
"A summons is coming. You will need the full kit. Also, put on the pendant, it will be useful." Having delivered his message, he vanished. After all, it was a waste of energy to remain visible for longer than necessary, and both he and Lisa had a pragmatic streak.
Lisa sighed and got out of bed. So much for a good night's rest, she thought as she stumbled towards her bathroom, dragged a brush through her dark hair, and swiped a toothbrush across her teeth. She washed her face to help clear her bleary hazel eyes and grabbed a hair-tie to hide the fact that her hair was frizzy and sticking out in some unusual directions. Throwing on some clothes, she was about to head to the workroom when the phone rang.
"Lisa, it's Shari" Lisa's eyes widened a bit at the tone in her friends voice. Whatever was happening Shari was very worried, and Shari was someone that was always calm under fire.
"Shari, what's the matter?"
"It's Thom, something's wrong and I can't tell what it is. We were walking out to the clearing, he needed to do his monthly thing, and he suddenly got light headed and started going into shock. I got him back to the house, and he fainted. I haven't been able to wake him since. I've left him with my sister and am coming to get you. I'm about 10 minutes away."
"No problem, I'll be ready." Lisa replied.
Shari used to be an ER nurse, so Lisa knew that the fear radiating in her voice was well founded. The problem was that Thom was a channel that had been blasted open through drug use a few years ago. In his case it was not by choice; a former roommate thought it would be funny to 'loosen him up a bit' and dosed him. Unfortunately Thom happened to be highly sensitive to drugs of any kind, and ended up with an overdose. Thom had been lucky to survive. At least the moron had enough sense to call the paramedics, Lisa thought to herself.
Due to the rather violent nature of the way his gift was opened, Thom had some unique problems that the medical world was unable to cope with. Every month, Thom would perform a ritual designed to put limits on his ability to channel so that it didn't flood and overwhelm him. Doing that ritual allowed him to live a normal life and to hold down a job, rather than descending into madness which he had been well on his way to doing when Lisa first met him.
Lisa frowned, she had major warning bells going off over the timing of Thom's collapse. Her instincts were saying that it wasn't a coincidence that this happened before Thom had a chance to perform the ritual.
Lisa went to her workroom and grabbed the largest of her bags which contained a full working kit with everything she might need. She double checked the contents and added a few other items, and then grabbed the pendant her guide had shown her earlier and put it on. It was a piece her mother had given her, an equal armed cross made of silver, with a center disk that rotated. On one side of the disk the artist had inlaid a pyramid inside a square, inside a circle, and on the other side he had inlaid a spiral. It was a potent piece, particularly good for gathering and concentrating energy, but one that matched her energy so well, she didn't even notice it when she was wearing it.
Just as she finished her preparations she heard her dog bark to alert her that someone was approaching. Lisa acknowledged her large Rottweiler mix, and Sasha immediately quieted down. A moment later there was an urgent knock, and Lisa opened the door.
Standing on her doorstep in the chilly night air was Shari looking rather frantic. Lisa grabbed her coat and her bag, gave Sasha a quick pat on the head, locked up, and got into Shari's old model Jeep Cherokee.
Shari and Thom lived up in the mountains, and required four-wheel drive. Lisa drove a Jeep as well, but the road to Shari's place at night was difficult for those that were not very familiar with it, hence Shari driving down to get her. Shari took off as soon as they were in the car, and Lisa settled in for the drive, turning the situation over in her head.
"Shari, how close are we to the dirt turnoff?"
"About ten minutes. You gonna journey?" Shari replied, being familiar with Lisa and how she worked by now.
"Yes, I want to try and get some more information."
Shari nodded and Lisa settled herself into the seat, reclining it slightly. Lisa slowed her breathing and shifted her awareness into the spirit world. Finding herself immediately accompanied by Horse, she requested information and assistance on Thom's condition, and was taken to one of her guides. This was not the same guide that had woken her earlier. Instead, an Egyptian priest appeared before her, and she nodded her head in respect to him. He smiled and gestured for her to approach a large scroll resting on a stone altar.
"This has happened before. Look." He said to her, and moved aside so she could see the scroll. It was almost like watching a movie. She saw a woman who was obviously a channel. Next she saw the woman walking through halls. A shadowy figure was waiting, he darted her with a blowgun and then disappeared. The woman collapsed. Next she saw the woman in a near catatonic state with people taking care of her and trying to heal her. After a period of time, the woman finally awoke and seemed to be back to normal. As she continued to watch, though, things changed. The woman no longer was physically ill, but it was obvious that she was no longer herself. There was something using her, and not for good ends. She caused quite a bit of damage before she was stopped. Unfortunately stopping her had also involved killing her.
Lisa looked up from the scroll at her guide, raised an eyebrow and waited for him to speak to give her an option other than death.
He gave her a small smile of amusement at her expression. "This is what will happen if you do not succeed in stopping this now. Know also that the one responsible prefers the shadows. You cannot stop this on your own and you will need assistance. I suggest you use the clearing, it may as well be a Circle."
With that advice, Lisa felt herself being pulled back. She settled back into her body and opened her eyes. Just in time, she thought, there's the turnoff now. Shari slowed and made a hard right, and the jeep immediately started to vibrate with the dirt road. Shari was going a bit faster than normal, and it was making Lisa's teeth rattle. Lisa understood completely, though, and knew that the ride wouldn't be much longer at this point.
Lisa thought about what her guide had just told her. She was grateful for the warning of the true nature of what she faced with Thom. She also found it interesting that he had deemed the clearing to be a Circle. He was basically telling her that she needed help from the Fae, and that they could be contacted there.
"Shari, did you happen to see if Thom had a puncture wound anywhere?"
Shari looked a bit startled, "What, you mean like a snake or spider bite? We're much too high an elevation for rattle snakes, and there aren't any other poisonous snakes in the area. Besides he was wearing his hiking boots, it takes a lot to get through those things. I thought about spider bite but the symptoms don't match. Widows and Recluses both cause significant pain and markings on the skin around the bite. Except for the fact that he's unconscious, he's perfectly normal. I gave him a quick check for bite marks of any kind once I got back to the house, but I didn't go over every inch. Whatever is going on is not normal, Lisa. You know I worked ER, I've seen just about everything and this doesn't match anything. That and my gut are what made me call you instead of an ambulance."
Lisa nodded. "It's possible he may have had the skin punctured, but probably not with anything standard or traditional. If that's the case, and the item is still in or on him, it would be much better if nobody touched it. Also, when we get to your place, I am going to need to go to the clearing first."
Shari nodded, keeping her attention on the road. "Do you need anything that you haven't already brought?"
Lisa mentally reviewed the contents of her bag. "Umm... Do you have any whiskey?"
Shari seemed a bit startled by the request, but after long association with Lisa she didn't question it. She knew that Lisa didn't make frivolous requests. "Umm, we actually have some Jameson a friend of ours gave us last week."
Lisa smiled, Jameson was Irish whiskey, and the Fae seemed to prefer either Scotch or Irish. "Perfect, I'll need to take that with some glasses up to the clearing with me."
They lapsed into silence for the rest of the ride up, Lisa getting herself prepared, Shari concentrating on the road. Finally they reached the sharply inclined driveway that lead up to Shari and Thom's place. Shari gunned the engine to get a bit of a running start, and they bounced up to the top of the hill, where Shari and Thom's house sat nestled in the trees. Both women got out of the car, and went into the house. Shari checked on Thom, who was in their bedroom with her sister, Marianne, and then came back out and went to grab the Jameson and some glasses from the kitchen and handed them to Lisa.
"It would be best for you to stay here for the time being," Lisa said to Shari.
Shari nodded, "Do you need a flashlight to find the trail?"
"No thanks, I'll be ok, there's enough moonlight out there for me to see by." Lisa didn't want to have her vision limited by the flashlight. Between the possibility of a person or persons with ill intent out there, and the mischievous nature of the Fae, it would be asking for trouble to use a flashlight.
Lisa stepped outside, extended her senses and called on some of her spirit allies to keep watch in case anyone was lurking out there. After a short walk, she came to a natural clearing that was almost perfectly circular. She stopped at the edge put down the whiskey and glasses, and placed her hands together in front of her, bowed, and requested permission to enter.
She felt the energy of the clearing shift and grant her permission. She stepped in, and began to set things up. The clearing itself already had its own boundaries and protections, so she just requested that they be active. Lisa then opened the whiskey, and put it and the glasses center. During the entire process she felt eyes on her, but she knew they belonged to the Fae rather than anyone lingering that should not be there. She also felt some agitation from them, and assumed that it probably had to do with the attack on Thom earlier.
Lisa stepped away from the center of the circle and said, "Welcome friends, I come bearing gifts if you wish to partake. I ask your assistance undoing that which was done to Thom earlier this evening."
Lisa heard light muttering from the edges, they were definitely agitated by the events earlier. She felt the attention shift and focus, and there was suddenly a tall, slender, elfin looking man with long, white blond hair and vibrant green eyes. A Sidhe, Lisa thought to herself not particularly surprised since she half expected they would be the ones to respond. She assessed his simple appearance, and realized he was extremely powerful. The more powerful the Sidhe, the less they tended to broadcast it.
Whoever did this has made some powerful enemies, Lisa thought to herself. Sidhe, out of all the Fae, were the ones you least wanted to offend. They tended to be light hearted and approachable, but if provoked, their anger and punishments tended to be quite ... harsh, not to mention creative.
"Healer, We have heard your need and offer Our assistance. The shadow that entered Our lands is not permitted. We will demand no payment from you. Your service in this matter is sufficient payment."
Lisa kept her face serene and bowed to him. Obviously he was royalty; the fact that he was not demanding payment of some sort also meant that they felt they had responsibility to rectify the situation. She was happy about that since she already owed them, and she didn't want to increase her debt. "Your aid is accepted with gratitude. By what title would one such as yourself prefer to be addressed by one such as myself?"
His eye flickered in slight amusement. She had neatly sidestepped any status related problems between them. "Our full titles would be cumbersome for work that needs to be streamlined. While Our full title honors Our past, We must also consider the needs of the future. You may address me as Tiernan.'"
Lisa heard a bit of startled muttering from the edges of the clearing when he gave her that name. Typically the more powerful the Sidhe, the longer their title. For one such as this to allow her to use such a short title was more than a little startling. Lisa deliberately bowed again. She knew it was not necessary, but she wished to show further respect. "I am honored to be graced with the presence of one so wise." Lisa gestured to the whiskey. "Please join me in acknowledging our accord."
"Before we seal the bond, there is one other I wish to join us in this endeavor." Tiernan stated, dropping the royal 'We.' "This one is unique, and may be somewhat startling to you."
Interesting choice of words, thought Lisa, and made a mental note of his phrasing. "If you vouch for this one, I am willing to meet them." Lisa had no doubt that Tiernan wanted this to succeed, but she also knew that the Sidhe never did anything for just one reason, and that was triply true of royalty. By making him vouch for this third person, he was personally responsible if they did anything problematic for her personally.
Tiernan's eyes again flashed in mild amusement. "I so vouch for Max Tau."
"Then Max Tau is welcome to this circle." Lisa replied formally. As soon as she uttered those words, someone stepped out from the shadows of the forest, and into the circle. As he came forward, Lisa noticed how fluidly he moved. Interestingly, it was not the boneless grace of a cat; rather it was the gliding smoothness of a snake. He was not slender like the Sidhe, but he wasn't overbuilt either. He seemed to be a happy medium of toned muscle on a normal size frame. Something about him, though, conveyed a sense of immense power and strength. His hair was reddish brown, and cropped very short, but his eyes were what really captured her. They seemed to keep changing through different shades of gray, sometimes looking more silver, sometimes more charcoal, and through every color in between. They seemed to hold a quiet strength and a depth that piqued her interest. She felt drawn in by those eyes, and found herself surprised at her reaction. However she had work to do, so she put it aside to deal with later.
Calmly Lisa nodded her head to Max, and said "Welcome, Max Tau, vouched for by Tiernan. Before we sit together, I would know what you are."
He smiled, "That is reasonable." he replied in a soft voice that seemed to have over and undertones that echoed through the land around them. "I am Dragon Touched, there are not many of us." He replied. Then, taking note of Lisa's blank expression he added, "It is easier to show than to explain, if you would permit me?" he said to her, tapping a finger to his temple to indicate he meant to show her directly, mind to mind. "I give my word that I will do nothing beyond that."
Lisa got the deep sense that Max's word was his bond, absolutely and irrevocably. She nodded her head in acceptance, and felt a soft touch on her mind. She allowed him in and he showed her enough to gain a basic understanding. He was quite literally touched by dragons in that they had chosen, with his consent, to alter him so that he gained certain abilities. It seemed that what he gained was designed to enhance and support the skills he already had. He had been a great warrior before accepting the offer of the dragons, and the gifts they gave him enhanced his ability. She caught the gifts of longevity, strength, agility, endurance, heightened senses, and something else that she couldn't quite see yet. Max must not have intended her to see quite so much, though, because she caught a startled feeling, and he immediately withdrew.
Lisa smiled a little at his surprise. "Max Tau, I greet you and thank you for your presence and your explanation. You are welcome here. Will you join us in our endeavor?"
"My aid is granted freely." He replied again, in that curiously soft voice which still echoed through everything around them.
"Then please join us to seal our agreement." Lisa replied as she knelt on the ground, opened the whiskey, and poured a glass for each of them. Tiernan sank down to the ground on her left in the inhumanly elegant and graceful fashion of all Sidhe. Max dropped down to her right, and almost seemed to be coiled and relaxed at the same time.
Lisa handed each a glass, and proceeded to sip hers first. Tiernan and Max then followed, sipping their drinks as well. Once each had finished their whiskey, and set their glass back down in the center, they rose as one and began to walk back down to the clearing. The remainder of the whiskey was left in the circle as a gift. Lisa knew it would be gone by morning, and Shari could go and retrieve her glasses tomorrow.

Franchise owner Daniel Snyder told USA Today in a blog post the same thing Redskins officials have said frequently, publicly and otherwise, when it comes to the team name. Changing it is not under consideration.
"We'll never change the name," he said. "It's that simple. NEVER — you can use caps."
He also told Erik Brady that Redskins fans understand why.
"We will never change the name of the team," Snyder said. "As a lifelong Redskins fan, and I think that the Redskins fans understand the great tradition and what it's all about and what it means, so we feel pretty fortunate to be just working on next season."
Recently, an AP poll found widespread support — about 4 in 5 — for keeping the name. The D.C. Sports Bog chronicled the poll and both the team's reaction, and local discussion, including a suggestion they become the 'Redtails.'
More on the name:

...is there a reason why a festival called "Oktoberfest" seems to be becoming more and more afraid of its namesake month (October)? This year it was held in AUGUST. Now I see that next year it's going to be held in JUNE?? I'm from New Orleans, Louisiana, and not even Mardi Gras and Easter are "all over the map (calendar)" like Oktoberfest is. At this rate, Oktoberfest will be held in January in no time. I hope you won't be choosing a snowy location then.
The original reason we didn't use October was that many folks wanted to bring along their school-age children - and October was inconvenient. The greater reason now is weather. Anywhere north of the Mason Dixon line can be crappy in October. For instance, we've had snowstorms the first week of October here that would put a real damper on the driver schools and concours events at Oktoberfest. As anyone who was here two years ago can tell you, the Wisconsin weather during Oktoberfest was perfect. Finally, it depends on facilities availability, which can vary all over the place. Organize one one of these days and you'll see ...
Surprised there is a date and location posted already. Hope to make the drive out for next years event.
A damper? Possibly, not to mention potentially more expensive, but maybe more entertaining. "Hey I didn't know that the DE just became a DRIFTING competition.... uh oh...the announcer declares that the difficulty rating of this DE course just skyrocketed from 'Beginner' to 'Uber-master.'
Well I don't think the DE/weather issue will be a problem, as I understand there isn't a DE planned for 2014.
Interesting ... I wondered about that. The nearest tracks with facilities are at least a couple of hours away. Do you know if it's official at this point? Thanks
There is officially no track although the Rocky Mountain Chapter might be hosting a DE the weekend before at High Plains (East of Denver).
I'd hope to see the local chapter do a 3,4 or 5 DE in association with a race school and club race like we had at Mid Ohio in 2012.
Eight hours for us. Not close but, do-able. Two days at High Plains + a few days taking in OktoberFest at Vail. The only minor problem is lodging for the DE. There are a couple of little places nearby, both already booked. The nearest available rooms are around D.I.A. roughly 50-60 minutes away from the track. Oh well ... not much different from the Columbus commute. I've got my rooms booked. .
I love CO. I can't manage that drive but I would be happy to fly in for the experience of my first O'fest!
The drive is half the fun. The Houston Road Monkeys went 2,500 to get to Monterey, CA for this years event. Trip back was only 1,800 miles as we went a more direct route. We got to see some really amazing places in Utah, New Mexico, Ca, etc.
Yes, we were looking forward to a full report on the Tour De Road Monkey 2013... alas, it was not forthcoming! O'Fest '14 will be the first in a long time that was NOT focused on a multi-day driving school. Which should leave time for plenty of rallies...

OUtboard sizing question
Going to be looking at an O'Day 25 centerboard this weekend. Does not have a motor. I have found that the max HP is 15 for this boat as per the specs but I am wondering what would be a recommended size for this boat? Would be sailing lakes if that helps. Possibly in the future up in the Apostle Island area as well.
Thanks. |
Sailboat calculator says 8hp minimum for hull speed, so a 9.9 would probably be perfect
http://web.archive.org/web/200404071...alculator.html |
eMKay, thanks! That's a handy site.
I had posted re my experience with a Coronado 25. Long story short,had a 6hp and it was marginal for SF Bay conditions except for dead calm conditions. Went to a 15hp, same size and weight as a 9.9hp, the 15 would drive the boat as fast as it would go against heave wind and seas. A 9.9 may have been OK, bottom line, the 15 flat got the job done. Dabnis |
I had a 9.9 two stroke on my Oday 23 before I repowered, and it was a bit of overkill. It should be fine on a 25. But if you buy a new outboard, it's going to be a four stroke; they just don't make two stroke outboards that small anymore. Here's the deal: a four stroke generates more torque than a two stroke, so you can usually get away with a smaller (lower hp) engine. The flip side of that is that the mounting bracket on your Oday 25 is probably not rated to handle a four stroke. Is this a big deal? Its been endlessly debated here and elsewhere. I don't know, but I wouldn't chance it. It's not just the weight of the engine that is at issue, but the extra torque generated by the four stroke engine that could put the mount (and your transom and engine) at risk. I just don't know enough about engineering to say if an 80 lb four stroke on a bracket that can handle a 110 lb two stroke is ok. One thing I can say for sure: get the longest shaft model you can find. The "standard" length of a long shaft is 20", but some manufacturers offer a 25". Go for it. It's way worth whatever it costs. My long shaft model (20") pops out of the water in even a modest chop.
I have a 15 hp Mercury on my O'day 26. Former family boat was an O'Day 25 with a 9.9 Johnson. There were times when the 9.9 just couldn't hack it against a tide in a fast-moving river. With the 15 hp Merc, it seems to be a great combination for my coastal sailing. I have noticed that the motor mount was probably reinforced sometime late in the boat's life (I've owned the 26 for 2 years). Based on mstern's observations, I'm glad that the PO did that work. Bottom line, I'd recommend careful evaluation of what the motor mount can handle weight/thrust wise. I don't know what the conditions are like where you'll be sailing, but I'm thinking that with lake sailing you'd be ok with a 9.9. Did you decide to get the boat?
Thanks for all the info. Checked the boat out and two words.... soft deck. Actually was very soft in some places and I don't want to get in to a project right now.

At the beginning of the summer my husband set up a raised organic vegetable patch and we wondered if it would be cost effective. He planted Little Gem, Pak Choi, Mange Tout, Sugar Snaps, Potatoes, Onions, Tomatoes, Corn, Radishes, Carrots and Cucumbers.
Savings: A packet of two organic little gems cost around £1.50. At that price if we had bought one packet a week for 4 months, we would have spent £24
Savings: A packet of non-organic pak choi would cost around £1. I think we had around 4 weeks worth so we saved ourselves around £4.
Tomatoes - We planted a couple of upside down hanging tomato planters (we already had one planter and my husband bought a second one this year) and they are fruiting right now. We have been extremely lax in watering them though and although they are covered in tomatoes, we are only getting a few ripe ones every so often - not really enough for a salad at any point. Next year we need to plant more and actually water them!
We got a little over £56 worth of produce from our patch! Not a great return on our investment purely in financial terms...
On the positive side:
- We still have our raised beds filled with fairly weed free organic compost, as well as lots of seeds that we can use next year, so we won't need to spend much if anything next year on our veg patch.
- We did save on packaging and transportation and helped to reduce our impact on the environment.
- My husband used rainwater from our rain butt to water the plants in between rain showers, so at least we didn't have any 'hidden' water costs and we were in full control of the food we grew from start to finish.
- Our children know where vegetables come from and loved picking the peas and pulling up the carrots.
- It was very satisfying to eat our very fresh homegrown produce!
If you liked this post I would really appreciate it if you click like on Facebook and follow on Twitter. Also if you have a Kindle it would really make my day if you subscribe to this blog on it! - Thanks!

Comment Re:Bible Code? (Score 1) 478
I guess saying "it comes from" a virus is a mistake. The right wording would be "we share 7% of our genetic code with a virus". It may well be that useful parts of host's genetic code are integrated into a virus, and that parts of the code originate from a common ancestor from prehistoric times. This would be indistinguishable from code that originates from a virus and got absorbed into human genome.
