I was recently in Bahia Salinas Costa Rica and rode my 7.5 Naish Cult and newly acquired 2012 Blade Trigger. 2010 Naish bar for both.
As winds gusted and I had Cult depowered I moved to the smaller 7m Trigger.
Trigger would flutter and loose shape. Came in and pumped more air, slight improvement. Lines set to mid knot on kite.
Took Cult back out.
Q. Anyone can help me relate to this experience? None of my Naish kites ever done this when overpowered. Hopefully some Blade owners....??
Thanks for input,

Acupuncture is one kind of treatment from Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). It uses very thin needles to stimulate points on the body to improve well-being. Acupressure uses pressure, tapping or massage over these points. Other ways to stimulate these points include moxibustion (heat), cupping (suction), electricity, magnets, and cold laser. There are different kinds of acupuncture: Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Vietnamese and even French acupuncture.
Acupuncture has been used successfully for thousands of years. Modern scientific studies have shown that acupuncture and acupressure can be especially helpful for patients suffering from:
There are traditional explanations from ancient China, and modern scientific explanations. Traditional practice is based on a theory of energy flowing through the body in channels called meridians. Traditionally, it is believed that blockages in this energy flow are associated with illness or pain. Restoring optimal energy flow and balance helps to improve well-being. Another central theory is promoting the delicate balance of two opposing and inseparable forces: yin and yang. Modern science has explored acupuncture's effects on nerve fibers, the spinal cord and different parts of the brain. Investigation continues to reveal new ways acupuncture benefits health.
You are not alone. Almost everyone is afraid of needles. However, even fearful people can benefit from acupuncture. There are non-needle techniques for those who are very fearful.
Acupuncture needles are very thin; even children usually find them much more comfortable than they'd expected.
Acupuncturists are used to working with people who are afraid. Most acupuncturists are gentle, patient and good-humored. They will work with you to help you feel better; they will not force you to undergo treatments that are unpleasant for you.
Rarely. Acupuncture is extremely safe when performed by an experienced acupuncturist. Side effects can include minor bleeding or bruising, a dull or full feeling where the needle is inserted, and mild sleepiness. More serious side effects such as infection, broken needles or lung puncture are extremely rare.
Yes! Investigation at Boston Children's Hospital (Harvard Medical School) showed that children could benefit from acupuncture. UCLA, Boston Children's and Seattle Children's Hospitals have pediatric acupuncture programs.
Yes! In 2009, we surveyed 90 acupuncturists in our region. Three met the criteria we developed at Harvard Medical School:

Dateline: India—Media outlets are reporting that local police are keeping a pigeon under armed guard after it was caught on an alleged "special mission of spying" for neighboring Pakistan. The white bird was found by a resident of India's Punjab state—which borders Pakistan—and taken to a rural police station near the city of Amritsar. The pigeon had a ring around its foot and a Pakistani phone number and address stamped on its body in red ink. Police officer Ramdas Jagjit Singh Chahal told the Press Trust of India news agency that the bird was suspected of landing on Indian soil with a secret message—although no note was actually found. To be safe, officials in the northern state ordered that the animal be held in an air-conditioned room under 24-hour-a-day police guard and that no one be allowed to visit it. According to PTI, senior officers have asked to be updated on the situation three times a day.
Dateline: Germany—A waste-treatment plant in Treuenbrietzen, southwest of Berlin, is experimenting with the idea of serenading its sewage with Mozart symphonies. Bosses at the plant believe the classical composer's music could speed up the treatment process by stimulating activity among the microorganisms used to break down waste. Operas such as The Magic Flute and The Marriage of Figaro are now being piped into the plant 24 hours a day via a series of speakers designed to duplicate the acoustics of a concert hall. It is hoped that, when combined with large quantities of oxygen, the sonic patterns generated will excite the microbes and help to break down sludge more efficiently. "If it means we can save 1,000 euros ($1,200) per month on sludge disposal, then it would definitely be worth it," Detlef Dalichow, the plant's sewage manager, told the Märkische Allegemeine newspaper.
Dateline: England—At least 300 cheese-crazy athletes ignored a ban on a historic cheese-rolling contest after it was canceled over health and safety concerns. The 200-year-old tradition—held every summer at Cooper's Hill near Brockworth, Gloucestershire—
Dateline: Florida—A 32-year-old man was arrested in the town of New Port Richey after deputies said he called 911 "multiple times" to complain that his mother took his beer away. Charles Lee Dennison was described as "very intoxicated" when sheriff's deputies arrived at his home on Friday, May 28. According to a Pasco County Sheriff's Office arrest report, Dennison told deputies he wanted his mother arrested because she confiscated his beer. If she was not arrested, he promised to keep calling 911. A deputy charged Dennison with making false 911 calls and took him to jail in Land O'Lakes. According to the St. Petersburg Times, he remained there over the weekend, unable to make his $150 bail.
Dateline: Indiana—Police and fire officials in Merrillville believe a local resident may have committed suicide by turning his entire house into a gigantic bomb. According to the Post-Tribune, police removed at least 11 five-gallon gasoline cans and "a large number" of propane tanks from the charred remains of a single-story home on June 1. Also removed was the dead body of a man later identified as home owner Jonathan Krantz. The explosion and ensuing fire all but leveled Krantz' house and even scorched the side of a neighboring home. "It sounded like a plane crashed, or lightning hit it," next-door neighbor Troy Davis told the Post-Tribune. Davis was leaving for work when the home exploded. He walked outside to see debris falling into his yard and heard Krantz screaming inside the flaming building next door. "I was calling out to him, but you couldn't get within a few feet of the house because of the heat." The Lake County Coroner's Office was forced to identify Krantz body by dental records. Relatives of the homeowner told police they had received a suicide note from Krantz via e-mail earlier in the week. Davis told reporters Krantz had been laid off several months earlier and spent most of his time in the house playing video games and watching television. "He was a little strange, but we never expected anything like this," neighbor Carol Davis was quoted as saying.

February 20, 2014 | By Mary Downs
Are you a small institution with a significant humanities collection? Then you may want to know more about the NEH's Preservation Assistance Grants for Smaller Institutions. Take a look at the map of projects across the country funded through this program!
Since 2000, NEH has made over 1,700 awards for Preservation Assistance Grants (commonly known as PAGs) to libraries, museums, historical societies, archival repositories, cultural organizations, town and county records offices, and colleges and universities that want to improve their ability to preserve and care for their humanities collections. In all 50 states, and in Puerto Rico, PAG awards have enabled many small and mid-sized cultural repositories to hire consultants to do a preservation assessment; purchase preservation supplies, including shelving and archival folders; and acquire environmental monitoring equipment. PAGs also support cultural heritage institutions develop disaster or environmental monitoring plans, or train their staffs in the care and storage of humanities collections or the best practices for cataloging and arranging and describing collections.
The interactive map pictured here shows the distribution of Preservation Assistance Grant awards made between 2000 and 2013. If you are interested in learning about awards made in a particular state, you can zoom in by double-clicking, and if you hover over a red dot (which appears darker if there is a greater density of awards in one area), the name of the awardee will appear. Click on the name and you'll get the project details. Or zoom out, and think about how many humanities collections are in better condition today as a result of the awards made through this grant program! To zoom in or out at will, use the plus and minus symbols on the upper right hand corner of the page.
Here are a few examples of projects that you will find:
- After the experience of Hurricane Katrina in 2005, Gulf Coast institutions were made painfully aware of the need to develop disaster plans. The Sunflower County Library, located in Indianola, Mississippi, offered training in disaster preparedness for staff from five cultural heritage institutions in the region. The library was also able to purchase emergency response supplies to be shared by the five repositories, which together hold a large and diverse collection of historic newspapers, photographs, sound recordings, agricultural ledgers, and other sources documenting the history of the Mississippi Delta.
- With its Preservation Assistance Grant, the Washington County Historical Society and Museum in Portland, Oregon, purchased storage furniture to rehouse its collection of agricultural implements, furniture, logging tools, textiles, and library and archival materials related to the history and culture of the region.
- The Greene County Historical Society in Catskill, New York, used its PAG for a preservation assessment of environmental conditions in the Thomas Cole Historic House, the primary residence and workplace of 19th-century artist Thomas Cole, in which are housed the artist's materials, sketches, paintings, decorative objects, and household furnishings.
- Humanities collections may also be in digital format. At Brigham Young University, in Provo, Utah, a training workshop assisted 16 cultural repositories in the state, among them academic libraries and museums, state and local government, historic sites, and religious archives, in managing and preserving their digital collections. The digital collections included ancient texts, Western newspapers, genealogical materials, European political pamphlets, and artwork.
Application Information
Preservation Assistance Grants provide up to $6,000 of funding for the following activities: preservation assessments, purchase of preservation supplies and equipment, development of environmental monitoring and disaster plans, and education and training. We encourage small and mid-sized cultural heritage institutions with significant humanities collections to consider applying, and especially those that have never before received an NEH grant. This year, we have a special encouragement for presidentially-designated institutions (historically black colleges and universities, Hispanic-serving institutions, and tribal colleges and universities) and Native American tribes with significant humanities collections. If you have an idea for a project that you think might fit the criteria of the Preservation Assistance Grant, or if you simply want to find out more about the program, please contact us at: email@example.com or by phone at: 202-606-8570. Guidelines for the program are available here.
The next deadline is May 1, 2014, so now is the time to start planning if you want to submit an application this year.

As an aspiring 00 agent dismissed from MI6 for reckless brutality, the player is hired as an enforcer by Auric Goldfinger, the wealthy super-villain with a lust for all things gold. Goldfinger is locked in a ruthless war against his archenemy, the brilliant scientist Dr. No. The prize is control of the world's greatest criminal organization. A brutal encounter with Dr. No costs the player an eye, but Goldfinger's technicians replace it with a gold-hued, synthetic eye, earning the player the name 'GoldenEye'. Players have the ability to customize and upgrade their villain persona and wreak havoc as they make their unrelenting rise through the ranks.
With a radical twist to the Bond franchise that makes the player's goal to rule the world rather than save it, GoldenEye: Rogue Agent is the ultimate thrill ride through the 007 underworld. Players will cross paths with such legendary allies and enemies as Oddjob, Scaramanga, Xenia Onatopp, and, of course, Pussy Galore on globe-spanning missions of vengeance and demolition. Players will travel to famous and original Bond locations from the mountains of Switzerland to the streets of Hong Kong and from Fort Knox to Dr. No's Crab Key lair in the Caribbean. Enemies will react intelligently in combat situations and use the environment to their advantage for intense and unpredictable shootouts.
GoldenEye: Rogue Agent seamlessly integrates single-player, multiplayer split-screen, and online gameplay for the PlayStation 2 console* across all game modes. Featured modes include story-driven campaign missions, deathmatch style simulator trials, and objective-based war games. Officially licensed by MGM Interactive, GoldenEye: Rogue Agent is being developed by EA's Los Angeles studio. This game has not yet received a PEGI rating.
*PlayStation 2 online play requires Internet connection, Network Adaptor and Memory Card for the PlayStation 2.

Bell is willing to give the Steelers a "hometown discount" (sort of): There's been "reports" that Bell wants to make $17 million a season, the same amount that teammate Antonio Brown is currently paid. There's been more legitimate reports that Bell, who initially wanted to make at least $15 million per season, will "settle" at $14.5 million while giving the Steelers a "hometown discount."Bell is willing to give the Steelers a "hometown discount" (sort of):
"Even with (his desired contract) number, I feel like I'm kinda settling," Bell said while speaking as a guest host
Charm Bracelet Sugar by VIDA VIDA QyrhEdA
earlier this offseason. "It's the Pittsburgh Steelers. I wanna stay with the organization. But I'm not gonna go below the number I'm actually just kinda settling for. Because I feel like I'm worth more than that.
"To play for the Steelers and stay here and not go anywhere else and stay with the team I got drafted too…yeah."
The Steelers are going to have to give Bell more guaranteed money: Reports have surfaced about Bell's lack of satisfaction with the amount of guaranteed money included in Pittsburgh's previous contract offers. While his desired number is anyone's guess, one can assume that the Steelers will need to give Bell a substantial amount of money within the first three years of a longterm contract. While he's reportedly seeking at least $14.5 million a season, there's a chance the Steelers could convince Bell to sign for less money annually but for more guaranteed money up front.The Steelers are going to have to give Bell more guaranteed money:
Both sides are going to have to sacrifice something in order to get a deal done: As mentioned above, there's a chance Bell could sign for less than $14.5 after turning down the team's 2017 offer and their previous offer this offseason that was reportedly stronger than last year's offer. But to do that, the Steelers are also going to have to make a sacrifice, which would seem to be with regard to the amount of guaranteed money. Ultimately, as is the case with most contracts, both sides are going to have to sacrifice something if Bell is going go join Brown as a "Pittsburgh Steeler for life" while finally putting this long contract saga to bed.Both sides are going to have to sacrifice something in order to get a deal done:

When my previous page (page 14) came out - I was NOT a happy panda. I'm not one to make excuses so I'll just flat out say that - that page came out awful. In my opinion atleast. Yaiches.
So I really tried much harder with this new page and I think it came out much better. It took longer cause I was bummed for a few days from the previous one and had no desire to draw whatsoever but hey... we all have our writer blocks, right?
So anyhow - here's my new page:
I'd really like some feedback to hear if I'm doing this (the comic) right or wrong. I can't really get a clear picture on the subject cause so far my only critics are my girlfriend and my cat, and those two always like my work.
Really hope you like it

This last page I tried to trace with pens, alas... it came out horrible. So I went back to tracing in photoshop, which I don't like much but lack another alternative.
Like I said once - Digital tracing is like a woman with fake boobs, it looks good but just doesn't feel right!
Anyhow - here's the new page, would love you to tell me what you think.

Sooomewhere... over the rainbow... I've put up a new page! Ha!
To be serious I've put up several pages since last I wrote here, I just don't always remember to update this post with every new page I put. Silly of me really, got to remind people I'm still alive and drawing... right?
To be honest this new page is pretty special. It's the first page I've done and uploaded after I've traced the pencils using a pen and not Photoshop. Not the first time I've tried but the first time the result came out acceptable.
And today I've done another drawing and traced it with pen and it's coming out even better so... I guess I'm improving. I think I'll actually upload that new painting to my newly made (and currently empty) gallery.
Tracing my pictures by hand had opened an entirely new world for me. It is much quicker, and ten times more fun! Always hated Photoshop tracings, pictures came out too alien to me, never felt they were my own. Now however I finally feel I'm uploading MY artwork! Mine! My own! My precioussssss...
If you'd like to see the new page - here it be:
I'll also upload the gallery soon (I hope I'll finish it by tomorrow) and I'm hard at work at the next page - which is already turning out quite pretty, if I may say so myself.
So check it out and feel free to leave any feedback you'd like.
Spank you... spank you very much.

It'd been a while since I've uploaded a page. I'd go as to why - had some personal problems and stuff but... I bet no one really cares
So to get you all back to my website - I've wrote a song, based on the famous "American Pie" melody. Here it be:
A long long time ago
I can still remember
How that comic used to make me smile
And I knew if I had my chance
I could get fan-girls that'd dance
Real sexy on their web cams just for me
But february made me shiver
With every page I would deliver
I'd suck more every time and it was bad
My comic felt like it just died
I can't remember if I cried
I probably did though, because I'm a nerd.
But something touched me deep inside
And violated all my pride
But that's a story for another song.
Bye, bye, miss american pie
Watched your movies fucked a cake and still I do not know why
Them good old boys were drinking whiskey and smile
And I'd fuck an apple cake all the while
Fuck an apple cake all the while
Did you write the book of hate
And do you believe in your stupid fate
Of sitting home and working nine to five?
Now do you believe in Satans hell
Cause we will all end up right there
Roasting slowly singing "this be swell!".
Well now I had forgot at all
What I tried to tell you all
So I'll just shut up and ask you all to come
To my website where I upload my work
A comic about a silly dork
Who raised the dead
and tried to stab a cat.
Now he is fighting the undead
Running round real really scared
Hoping someone still cares he's out there
Bye, bye, miss american pie
Don't know what else to write but I will give it try
Come read my comics and stay for a while
Cause without you my comic will die.
Without you my little comic will die
Now... if you liked the song, then who knows, maybe you'll like my comic also
Here's the last page -
And if you've never been on my site, here's the 1st page -
Also, if you'd like, here's my blog where I pretty much wrote about why I haven't been active much lately, and about me changing that -
So hopefully you'll come and visit. Thanks and see you around

I've updated another page -

So... I'd love you all to come and visit me at
Also - if you can guess which movie reference there is in the page I'll... I'll... I'll give you an e-cookie

Allrighty then - so my goal was to update the comic this friday, so that I can say I've updated my comic twice this week
Ofcourse fate had another plan for me, and this friday my girlfriend caught fever and I had to take care of her. That ofcourse threw a monkey at my hamster wheel or something and... my schedule had to be delayed.
So now it's saturday and despite it all I'm glad to say I've updated my comic twice this week! Yay me!
So come on down and have a look

You know - when I began drawing webcomic I tried hard to balance between my pages being funny (or atleast trying to make them funny) and between them advancing my extremely complicated plot (hey... zombies are complicated ok?!).
And just so you know - it's not easy! You've got to try and make it so that every page has some sort of a punchline and still try and follow the storyline. So you twist and turn and adjust and accomodate and jump through hoops and wiggle your tail so that the format of "ooh! story! haha! funny story!" keeps the readers coming back. And it's a fun challenge cause when you pull it off you feel kinda good about yourself.
Sometimes however I feel the need to break that pattern, and I draw pages for the sake of drawing them with little regard as to how funny they are or if they fit in with the general plot.
One such page for me was -
- where I drew a picture completely unrelated to the rest of the comic (except for the character) just to express my discontent with a certain computer games release date. To this day I still consider it to be one of my favorite pages.
Today I've uploaded another page that differs from my usual format. This one has no punchline and almost no speach - however it does continue the storyline, even though it does so in a completely humorless manner. I've tried to compensate the lack of speech with added artistic value (tried really hard to make this pic look pretty) so I hope it payed off.
Aaaanyhow - here's the next page and sorry for the wall of text
Hope you like it.

Argh... the last page wasn't easy to make. It had all these... things to color, and stuff to draw. Who'd knew all this comic-making is so hard?!
To be serious for a moment, I've probably made every mistake in the book while trying to make this web page. I've learned from them and hopefully I won't make them again working on the next one.
So please come and watch my comic... which is right here -

So I haven't posted here for a while buuuuuut... my comic is still up and running, and I actually feel I'm getting better, or atleast more comfortable with it.
So if you'd like to check my fellowship of the geeks, they're all right here -
What is this scary red place you're asking? Why is my alpha-geek down there? All this, and more, will be answered soon.
And why, you must ponder, is there a giant ninja turtle head in there? That's cause I like ninja turtles, that's why

Krug Signs Professional Contract with Boston Bruins
Junior captain foregoes senior season at Michigan State
March 25, 2012
Press Conference Video | Press Conference Audio
EAST LANSING, Mich. - Michigan State defenseman Torey Krug (Livonia, Mich.) announced on Sunday, (March 25) that he has signed a professional contract with the National Hockey League's defending Stanley Cup Champion Boston Bruins. Krug will forego his final season of collegiate eligibility. Terms of the contract were not disclosed.
"I couldn't be happier for Torey. He's had an incredible season, an outstanding career at Michigan State and is ready to take the next step in his hockey career," said Michigan State head coach Tom Anastos. "While I know that we will certainly miss his talent and leadership next season, he will be back to complete his degree, and has left a lasting impression on his teammates that will most certainly continue to have a long term impact on our program."
"Torey has had an outstanding collegiate career at Michigan State," said Boston General Manager Peter Chiarelli. "He is a very intelligent player who is a terrific skater and shooter. But what stands out the most with Torey is his character. He is a two-time captain and a tremendous competitor. We are thrilled to have signed him and look forward to a seeing him contribute to the Bruins."
"This obviously came quickly after our season ended, but it was a really difficult decision to make," said Krug. "I love everything about Michigan State, my teammates, and our hockey program, and it was an outstanding place for me to grow and develop both as a hockey player and a person. It is very hard for me to leave, but I am incredibly thankful for the support shown to me by Coach Anastos as I went through this process. I'm very proud to have worn a Michigan State jersey and serve as a captain. It's bittersweet, because we have worked hard to get MSU hockey back where we want it to be, challenging for conference and national championships.
"There are so many people to thank," continued Krug. "To all of my teammates, our coaches and staff, the athletic department, and the university - thank you for making my three years as a part of this program such a special time in my life. I will always be a proud Spartan, and will do my best to represent Michigan State University in a way that you will all be proud.
"I would also like to thank the Boston Bruins organization for this tremendous opportunity. Every hockey player has the dream to play in the National Hockey League, and I am excited about my chance to prove myself at the next level."
Krug recently completed a standout season in which he distinguished himself among the top players in college hockey. He is one of 10 finalists for the Hobey Baker Memorial Award, given annually to honor the top men's collegiate hockey player in the country. At the recent CCHA Awards show, Krug took home five awards - tying fellow Spartan (and current Edmonton Oiler) Shawn Horcoff for the most all-time in a single season. Krug was voted the league's Player of the Year, and for the second season in a row took home Best Offensive Defenseman honors. He was a unanimous selection to the All-CCHA First Team, and was MSU's Perani Cup winner (most "Three Stars of the Game" distinctions throughout the CCHA season).
In addition, with his game-winning goal in the final game of the regular season at Notre Dame, Krug shared the CCHA scoring title with Irish forward TJ Tynan. Krug became just the second defenseman in CCHA history - and the fifth overall in the college game - to win his league's scoring title.
Krug finished his junior season with a 12-22-34 scoring line, his best offensive season at MSU and his second consecutive season as the top goal-scoring defenseman in the conference. He ranks seventh overall in the conference in scoring, is eighth in assists, and 19th overall in goals. He tied for third in power-play goals (7) and owns the fourth-most game-winning tallies (3) in the CCHA as well. Krug plays in excess of 29 minutes per game, and plays in all situations. In the last two seasons, Krug compiled 23 goals, (second-most among collegiate defensemen), and 62 points (third-best among Division I blueliners).
In his three-year career, Krug appeared in 114 career games, scoring 26 goals and adding 57 assists for 83 points, the most of any player in his three seasons on the roster. He is a career +7 and had 175 PIMs.

By Edith Honan
NEW YORK (Reuters) - At the funeral of one of the 20 children gunned down at a Connecticut elementary school, a grieving mother grabbed state Senator Beth Bye by the shoulders and said: "You're going to do something, right?"
Bye and Nelba Márquez-Greene, whose daughter Ana, 6, was among the first graders shot dead with six staff members in the December 14 massacre, have known each other for years. Bye had asked the Marquez-Greene family how she could help and the answer was clear: Prevent this from ever happening again.
On Wednesday, nearly four weeks after the shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School reignited the national debate over gun control and mental health care, the Connecticut state legislature will begin its 2013 session and the Newtown tragedy is expected to loom large.
Bye, who represents West Hartford, has announced a package of bills to limit access to assault weapons and high-capacity magazines, and require that all Connecticut firearms be registered by model and serial number.
The bills would also institute a 50 percent sales tax on the sale of ammunition and magazines, prohibit the purchase of ammunition over the Internet and limit the sale of ammunition to those with Connecticut firearms permits.
"I just feel a personal mandate," said Bye. "These parents have just lost their child and already they're advocating for something to happen. We're only going to have one opportunity in Connecticut to do something like this. I want to take this opportunity and make sure we do something significant."
While Connecticut is a Democratic state and has among the toughest gun control laws in the country, Bye's proposals are likely to meet tough opposition and are by no means assured of passage. Gun manufacturing has long been a local industry in the state and companies have used the threat of gun makers leaving the state to thwart major restrictions.
The proposals have been greeted with fierce opposition from gun rights groups, who say the restrictions would unfairly limit the rights of responsible gun owners and would do little if anything to prevent another mass shooting.
"All these gun bills really don't do anything to solve the problem of Newtown," said Robert Crook, head of the Coalition of Connecticut Sportsmen, which counts 35,000 members. "The person who did that had broken all of our gun laws."
Gunman Adam Lanza, 20, first shot his mother with a gun registered under her name and carried out the school shooting before turning the gun on himself.
More than any other recent mass shooting, the Newtown massacre has galvanized efforts to keep guns and ammunitions out of the hands of criminals.
In Washington, President Barack Obama convened a task force to search for ways to quell gun violence in the United States.
Maryland's Democratic Governor, Martin O'Malley, plans to introduce new gun restrictions, while in Virginia, House of Delegates Speaker William Howell, a Republican, has told local media the General Assembly is likely to review laws on restricting gun ownership for the mentally ill.
In Illinois, where in December a federal appeals court threw out a ban on the public possession of firearms, lawmakers have 180 days to draft and enact new laws relating to the possession of firearms in public.
Perhaps nowhere is the debate more emotional or personal than in Connecticut. While Democrats control the governor's mansion and both houses of the state legislature, recent efforts to curb gun rights have been defeated.
Adam Winkler, author of "Gunfight," a history of U.S. gun rights, said state gun control measures such as ammunitions taxes are of limited value because gun buyers can get around them by simply visiting neighboring states.
"What you need are federal gun control laws that include all states," said Winkler.
He said the gun control debate will come down to each side's ability to generate grassroots support.
Gun-control advocates have called a March on Washington for January 26, while gun-rights groups are planning a Gun Appreciation Day on January 19.
Mayors against Illegal Guns has launched a Demand A Plan campaign to require gun control measures such as universal background checks.
Nelba Márquez-Greene, who could not be reached for comment, has called for a change on a Facebook page set up to remember Ana: "I want to live in a better America - one where our leaders are working collaboratively for the good of the people and the protection of children. Please! No more! Ya basta!"

Legal Analysis Requested By Members Of Parliament Says GCHQ Surveillance Is Illegal Too
from the well,-look-at-that... dept
But now, similar to the recent PCLOB report in the US, a legal analysis of the GCHQ, written at the request of a bunch of Members of Parliament, has argued that much of what GCHQ is doing is illegal under UK law:
In a 32-page opinion, the leading public law barrister Jemima Stratford QC raises a series of concerns about the legality and proportionality of GCHQ's work, and the lack of safeguards for protecting privacy.There's a lot more in the report, described at that Guardian link above, which is well worth reading. It makes you wonder how much longer the UK government can pretend that everything is perfectly fine with the GCHQ's activities.
It makes clear the Regulation of Investigatory Powers Act 2000 (Ripa), the British law used to sanction much of GCHQ's activity, has been left behind by advances in technology. The advice warns:
- Ripa does not allow mass interception of contents of communications between two people in the UK, even if messages are routed via a transatlantic cable.
- The interception of bulk metadata – such as phone numbers and email addresses – is a "disproportionate interference" with Article 8 of the ECHR.
- The current framework for the retention, use and destruction of metadata is inadequate and likely to be unlawful.
- If the government knows it is transferring data that may be used for drone strikes against non-combatants in countries such as Yemen and Pakistan, that is probably unlawful.
- The power given to ministers to sanction GCHQ's interception of messages abroad "is very probably unlawful".

Has anyone seen this one yet?http://www.buccaneers.com/index.htmlHead on over to the Buc's website and watch the intro...Jeff
Was just reading through the "NFL Power Rankings" over at ESPN, and they had a blurb with the Vikings that Daunte Culpepper is currently on pace for 5,364 yards, 52 Touchdown Passes, and 4 Interceptions. Unbelievable.
Have I mentioned that my Raiders suck ass?! Sheesh. They're BAD.

Sheep provide wool and delicious meat, milk, and cheese, and they eat weeds other livestock species won't touch. Plus, sheep are relatively inexpensive and reproduce quickly, so with minimal upfront cost, you can have a respectable flock in short order.
Raising sheep is an especially good choice for small-property owners who don't have the space to raise cattle but still want to produce their own high-quality meat. Typically, five to seven ewes (female sheep) and their offspring can comfortably occupy the same amount of land as just one cow and calf, and sheep can graze lawns, ditches, woodlots, and mature orchards.
Admittedly, there are some difficulties to raising sheep: They're not as easily fenced as cattle (but they're a lot easier than goats), and although they tend to be less susceptible to diseases than other types of livestock are, they're more susceptible to parasites. Sheep are also more vulnerable to predators. In some areas of the country, you won't be able to find a veterinarian who handles sheep, or a professional shearer, so you'll have to find someone to show you how to shear.
There are nearly a hundred breeds of sheep in North America. Different breeds prosper in different climates and on different types of pasture, and each breed has certain strengths. Do you want to produce meat? Do you intend to spin your own wool, or market that wool to handspinners? Would you prefer to stay out of the wool business — and the shearing business — altogether?
Though their name suggests otherwise, hair sheep are raised for meat only, or for meat and milk. Sheep dairies and especially sheep's-milk cheeses are increasing in popularity. Recent drops in wool prices have led to a boost in hair sheep popularity. They have coarse hair and an underlayer of wool, and they shed their hair each spring, eliminating the need for shearing. Some say these sheep produce tastier meat than wool breeds do. The hair sheep breeds include Barbados Blackbelly, Dorper, Katahdin, Painted Desert, Royal White, St. Croix and Wiltshire Horn.
Fine-wool breeds appeal to the serious wool producer, either for the handspinning market or to sell commercially. The word "fine" refers to the diameter of the wool fiber. Fine-wools are generally more expensive, but the market may be more difficult to develop if you live in an area with an existing market for conventional-grade fleeces. If you're interested in producing fine wool, breeds to look for include Debouillet, Merino, and Rambouillet. These breeds produce comparatively fatty carcasses, which may not appeal to meat consumers.
Medium-wools include the most common breeds of sheep, and they produce wool that's mainly sold into the commodity market. Depending on your location, the cost of shearing may not be covered by what the wool sells for. Most medium-wool sheep produce large and consistent carcasses with good flavor. Common breeds include Suffolk and Hampshire. Some less common breeds worth researching include Cheviot, Dorset, and Texel.
Long-wool breeds are best for handspinners. They produce abundant and lustrous fiber. The Bluefaced Leicester is the queen of the group, producing fine fleeces with fiber clusters 3 to 6 inches in length. Some other long-wool breeds to consider are Border Leicester, Leicester Longwool, Lincoln Longwool and Romney.
Carpet-wool breeds produce coarser fleeces and generally provide meat with a more delicate flavor than the fine-wool or long-wool breeds. Their wool, which is often colored, is of interest to handspinners but has virtually no value in the commodity wool market. Generally speaking, these are hardy and self-sufficient breeds that require no pampering. Some breeds to consider are Jacob, Scottish Blackface, and Karakul.
Sheep's-milk cheeses have been produced for centuries, and dairy sheep are now a niche market in the United States, with East Friesian and Lacaune being the most common breeds. Find out more about the dairy sheep business and whether it's right for you by visiting the National Sustainable Agriculture Information Service's dairy sheep page.
Many venerable breeds of sheep are in danger of disappearing, because heritage breeds have fallen out of favor with high-input, industrialized agriculture. Though not the most productive in an industrialized system, heritage breeds have traits that make them well suited to small farms. Some are able to produce meat, milk, and wool pretty efficiently. Others are acclimated to harsh regional environments or are especially resistant to parasites. Many perform well on pasture with little or no supplemental feeding.
One particular virtue of some heritage breeds is their strong mothering instinct. Breeds that produce good mothers minimize the amount of work the farmer does during lambing season and the number of "bottle lambs" that need surrogate parents. Lambs raised by good mothers tend to be better mothers themselves and to have better social skills within the flock.
In the South, check out Gulf Coast Native or Hog Island sheep, which are rare breeds that can withstand the parasites and heat of the South. For excellent wools, investigate CVM/Romeldale, American Tunis, Navajo-Churro or Shetland breeds, just to name a handful. Meat producers could help save several of the hair breeds and coarse-wool breeds, including Karakul, Navajo-Churro, and Wiltshire Horn. To learn more about heritage breeds, visit the American Livestock Breeds Conservancy, or see The Encyclopedia of Historic and Endangered Livestock and Poultry Breeds by Janet Vorwald Dohner.
Sheep hate to be alone. If you're just starting out, buy two or three female lambs instead of one. Sheep do well grazing with other species, such as cattle, goats, horses, and even pastured poultry.
If you just need some lawn mowers, meat for your family, or both, it's probably best to buy animals from a nearby farmer who can provide you with advice and support. If you're buying purebred stock, a breed association can help identify shepherds in your region who raise the breed that interests you.
For any kind of livestock farmer, fencing is the most important asset on the farm, and this is especially true for shepherds than for those trying to raise cattle or horses.
A well-constructed perimeter fence serves two crucial purposes: It keeps your sheep on your property and helps reduce the impacts of predators. Interior fences don't need to be nearly as substantial as the perimeter fence, because interior fences are used for your convenience and to enhance your management. If the sheep get out of an interior fence, they'll just graze another paddock a little sooner than you planned.
Raising sheep is an efficient way to convert grass into food and clothing for humans. Most shepherds supplement natural pastures with hay for at least part of the year, along with minerals and sometimes grain.
Seek the advice of other shepherds in your area about how and when they feed, and then experiment with your own flock to find the ideal balance for productivity, vitality and economic efficiency.
Sheep evolved surviving entirely on natural pasture, but some breeds have lost that adaptation. Nearly every pasture requires a mineral block or mineral lick to provide salt and trace minerals to the animals' diet. Feeding grain produces meat with more intrinsic fat and a milder flavor, but can also complicate a hardy animal's health and make the business of raising sheep a lot more expensive than a pastured operation.
Your ewes will need a ram to breed with, but you should keep rams in a separate pasture so you can control when they breed. If you put your ram in with the ewes in November, you will have lambs in late March — just in time for lush spring pastures. When lambing is imminent, it's a good idea to separate your rams from the ewes. They tend to harass the mothers and babies at a vulnerable time in their lives.
A ram's ability to breed a flock varies dramatically between individuals and breeds. Ask the person who sells you your ewes how many females they breed with a single ram. Never buy a ram from a breeder whose animals seem dangerously aggressive. Such a trait isn't beneficial in any way, and aggressive rams can cause serious injury.
Sheep are vulnerable to every predator of any significant size, including dogs, bears, bobcats, mountain lions, coyotes, and wolves. As a shepherd, you can learn how to manage your flock so that a predator will decide that eating at your pasture is a lot harder than chasing mice and rabbits. Also keep in mind that your flock will suffer from less predation if it's strong and healthy, so good feed and adequate health care pay in more ways than one. Try these six strategies to keep your sheep safe:
This article was adapted from Storey's Guide to Raising Sheep by Paula Simmons and Carol Ekarius (Storey Publishing, 2009). The book covers breed selection, lambing, feeding, housing, pasture maintenance, disease prevention and treatment, and more.
when it comes to RAISNG SHEEP.. ill take the republican and Xtian method... they have been doing it successfully for EVER.
Unfortunately this article has some mistakes....namely that Jacob sheep are for carpet wool-they are a medium fleeced sheep.

I'll be curious to see which position they're recruiting him for. Does this reflect a lack of confidence that we can get Tabb and need to cultivate other options at TE? Or do they simply prefer him to Petro as an OLB recruit?

Dr. Bruce Campbell directs the educational CFIDS and Fibromyalgia Self-Help website (www.cfidsselfhelp.org), and online self-help group discussion courses focused on practical ways to deal with the daily challenges of chronic illness. Register now for the Spring 2013 quarter.
The Anatomy of Hope
Bruce Campbell, PhD
If you are like most people with CFIDS and fibromyalgia, you have probably felt discouraged or even despairing at times. Perhaps it happened when you learned that you had an illness with no cure.
Or maybe it crept over you slowly as you came to suspect that you were unlikely to restore the life you had before becoming ill. In any case, you may have wondered how to keep hope alive when faced with long-term suffering.
A recent book by Dr. Jerome Groopman of Harvard offers some answers (The Anatomy of Hope: How People Prevail in the Face of Illness). Based largely on his experience with cancer patients, the book describes different approaches to living with serious illness.
Some people are passive in response to their diagnosis. Dr. Groopman describes a patient named Dan who refused treatment even though he had a curable form of cancer. Groopman eventually learned that Dan's refusal was based on the assumption that he would suffer the same fate as a friend who had died of cancer after a series of debilitating treatments. Feeling helpless and hopeless, Dan resigned himself to dying.
Dr. Groopman was able to persuade Dan to undergo treatment. By uncovering Dan's mistaken belief about his situation, the doctor was able to convince him that his situation was different than his friend's. Also, he encouraged Dan to see his treatment as a series of small steps in which his life would improve gradually. And, last, Dan was inspired to continue his treatments after meeting a woman who had recovered from the same cancer he had. Dan persisted and recovered.
Like Dan, CFIDS and fibromyalgia patients can fall into helplessness after years of suffering, but they can help themselves using some of the same strategies Dan employed.
By taking a series of small, realistic steps, most patients can help themselves to feel better.
In our self-help course, we teach how you can improve quality of life by making different choices than in the past. We also believe that the model offered by patients who have improved provides inspiration. That's why we focus in our course on what works, and why we have a series of success stories in our Library.
We don't offer a cure for CFIDS or FM, but the strategies we teach have a good chance to decrease suffering and increase quality of life.
False Hope
Another response to serious illness is to hold out unrealistic hope. Groopman says he did this himself early in his career. He describes a case in which he and a colleague misled a patient named Frances, who had a colon cancer. Even though Frances' cancer was rated at Stage D, meaning rarely cured, she was given an optimistic interpretation of her situation.
The doctors used the term "remission," which meant to them a short-term reduction in tumor size, even though they knew that Frances would hear this as "cure." When, inevitably, the cancer worsened, Frances was understandably angry that the doctors had misled her and lost trust in them.
Groopman now believes that offering patients false hope was wrong and that doing so showed a lack of confidence that it is possible to have both hope and a realistic view of illness. The problem with false hope, he says, is that it does not acknowledge the risks and dangers facing a patient.
False hope can be an issue for CFIDS and fibromyalgia patients, too.
I have often seen people spend great amounts of time and money in search of a miracle cure, something that will give them their old life back. While some people are able to recover, recovery is rare and repeated failed attempts at recovery can produce the same sense of helplessness as resignation.
Realistic Hope
Groopman describes a third way to respond to illness, which he calls true hope. True hope, he says, "takes into account the real threats that exist and seeks to navigate the best path around them." Hope can flourish when you believe that your actions make a difference, that they can create "a future different from the present." To have hope is to "acquire a belief in your ability to have some control over your circumstances."
He illustrates this approach by describing a patient named Barbara, who had an aggressive form of breast cancer. Barbara acknowledged that the cancer was likely to kill her, but she also wanted to treat it aggressively. She told Groopman: "I wish to live as long as possible, so long as there is quality to my life." And Groopman was impressed at how much quality of life she had. Barbara had a wonderful sense of humor and many good friends. She enjoyed travel, and found meaning in her faith and in working as a volunteer at her church.
Groopman was impressed with Barbara's acceptance of her situation. He found she had a calmness that was rooted not in surrender but in a "steady realism." She "set the parameters on her care with a clear-eyed vision of what was possible, what made sense to her, how she wanted to live, when it was time to die." Even with the limits imposed by her illness, Barbara was able to live her life on her own terms.
Barbara's approach is similar to what we call 'combining acceptance and hope'.
Patients with this attitude acknowledge that life has changed. Instead of living as if they were well or searching a miracle cure to restore them to health, they accept that their lives are different and, in some ways, more limited. At the same time, they have a fierce determination to improve and a conviction that they can find ways to make their lives better.
Hope for CFIDS and Fibromyalgia
What is realistic hope for someone with CFIDS or fibromyalgia? While it is realistic to hope that a cure may be developed some day, at present neither illness has a cure. Some patients recover on their own, but their numbers are small. So for most people, it is prudent to assume that CFIDS or fibromyalgia will be long-term conditions.
But it is also realistic to believe that you can find things to help you feel better. Medications and self-help strategies may not cure CFIDS or fibromyalgia, but they can help reduce pain and discomfort, bring greater stability, and lessen psychological suffering. This approach requires that you assume responsibility for the day-to-day management of your illness.
Living well with long-term illness means living differently from before.
CFS patient JoWynn Johns describes her journey to a new life by saying in an article on recovery, "If recovery means returning to the way of life I had before CFS, I have not recovered. But in other and to me equally significant ways, I have recovered." She describes regaining control over her life, regaining physical comfort and learning how to control her symptoms through living within her energy envelope.
She writes, "I apply the word 'recovery' to myself because I have regained a satisfying life. It's just not the life I had before CFS."
Realistic hope can have physical effects as well as boosting your spirits. Groopman describes experimental evidence that hope can reduce symptoms. Hope appears to trigger the production of endorphins, the body's own pain killers. "Belief and expectation, cardinal components of hope, can block pain by releasing the brain's endorphins and enkephalins." Hope sets off a chain reaction.
"Hope tempers pain, and as we sense less pain, that feeling of hope expands, which further reduces pain."
Students in our program echo JoWynn's sentiment, saying that they believe it is possible to create a joyful and rewarding life while living with long-term illness. While not the life they had before becoming ill, it is a good life. They observe that, even though they would not have chosen their illness, they have learned valuable lessons from it and even, in some cases, consider themselves to be better persons now than they were before becoming ill.
I hope that, even if you have a different life than you expected, you see it as a good life.

KABUL, Afghanistan --A spokesman for an Afghan militant Islamist group says they carried out a suicide attack near Kabul airport that killed at least nine people in reprisal for an anti-Islam film that ridicules the Prophet Muhammad.
Haroon Zarghhon claimed responsibility for Tuesday's attack near Kabul airport in an email to The Associated Press. He said the attack was carried out by a 22-year-old woman named Fatima.
He is with the group called Hezb-e-Islami led by former warlord Gulbuddin Hekmatyar.
Police say a suicide bomber rammed a small sedan heavily laden with explosives into a mini-bus believed to be carrying foreign aviation workers to the airport at dawn.

Baker City Herald
Bill Bailey is known for his knowledge of hay, which led him to plant a much sought after variety of orchardgrass hay that's bringing $250 a ton, up from $165 two years ago.
andquot;I have thoroughbred owners who won't use anything but second-crop orchardgrass hay,andquot; said Bailey, whose farm is in Baker Valley.
Bailey also grows some alfalfa hay, which is known as king of the hay crops grown on a grand scale. But even with the price of dairy quality alfalfa at a historically high price of $180 to $200 a ton this year as a result of last year's drought and hay shortage, Bailey said he's getting more for the orchardgrass hay he grows for owners of high-end horses and goats.
andquot;Most people in Baker County grow cow feed. I like to stay in the minority,andquot; Bailey said.
Bailey also grows a combination of native forage legume with yellow flowers, which he said was the predominant forage feed for cows prior to the widespread cultivation of alfalfa hay.
Some of his customers, including owners of thoroughbred race horses and angora goats, prefer a hay blend Bailey produces by planting a mixture of alfalfa and orchardgrass, or alfalfa, orchardgrass and the native forage, which provide a hay richer in minerals.
While orchardgrass hay and his hay blends traditionally fetch a somewhat higher price than standard alfalfa hay crops, Bailey said a shortage of the specific variety of orchardgrass hay seed he imports from the Netherlands led to a larger price spread this year.
andquot;The supply or orchardgrass seed dried up, for the Latar variety that is shipped in from the Netherlands,andquot; Bailey said.
andquot;Over the past year the price went from $1.20 to $4 a pound, Bailey said. andquot;I was just shocked.andquot;
Over the years, he said, prices of orchardgrass seed swung from $1 to $2 a pound, depending on supply and demand but he's never seen the price go from $1.20 a
pound to $4 a pound in one year.
He said orchardgrass hay is a little easier to grow and harvest than timothy grass hay, but it's a bit tricky to get it just right, with the softer stalks preferred by owners of high-end horses and goats, who are very particular.
However, if he can't get the Latar variety of orchardgrass seed out of The Netherlands when it's time to replant, Bailey said he may have to replace some of his orchardgrass with Timothy hay,.
andquot;Timothy is a very good grass, but there's some problems harvesting it,andquot; Bailey said. andquot;Timothy isn't very drought resistant, whereas orchardgrass is pretty hardy. Even if it dies back in a drought, it comes back.andquot;
Bailey said two years of drought in Baker County and across much of the western United States has driven up all hay prices, including the price of Timothy grass and other traditional grass hay varieties.
While orchardgrass brings a premium price and domestic demand generally exceeds supply, Bailey said timothy hay is in great demand in Japan and Korea as a forage hay for pampered, high-priced Wagyu cattle.
He said consumers in Asian countries haven't acquired the taste for fat marbled beef like Americans, so they prefer the leaner beef produced by grass-fed cattle, as opposed to cattle fed alfalfa hay and feed corn.
Timothy hay sold on the export market starts at $250 a ton, Bailey said. Most of the timothy hay exported to the Pacific Rim is shipped out of the Yakima Valley, Bailey said.
andquot;It's harder to harvest, has shorter, lighter stalks, and it cakes when you swath it,andquot; Bailey said of timothy hay.
andquot;It's definitely more trouble to grow, but there's money in it,andquot; Bailey said.
When it comes to growing grass or alfalfa hay, Bailey knows just what fertilizer or other crop amendment is needed at what time to give his hay to color and quality customers prefer.
Although, with fertilizer costs for growing alfalfa hay at $80 per acre, up from $30 per acre last year, Bailey said he's careful not to use any more than is necessary to produce a high-quality crop.
andquot;I just sell to the local market around here,andquot; Bailey said.
Bailey also does custom haying.
andquot;I buy grass standing in the field, cut it, bale it and sell it,andquot; Bailey said. andquot;I still use small bales, which are getting harder to find.andquot;
Bailey said his high-end horse and goat customers prefer the small bales because they're easier to use for people who don't have large bale handling equipment.
During his many years of growing hay, Bailey said he started farming part time in 1974 and has been farming full time since retiring from the food distribution business in 1997.
He was drawn to farming by his love of growing things, the pleasure of working outdoors and the friendly people involved in agriculture.
Over they years, he's had to deal with enough equipment breakdowns to become a pretty fair mechanic.
Last week when swathing his orchardgrass hay crop, Bailey's swather broke down in the morning, and by early afternoon he had removed the broken part, had it repaired by a machine shop and was in the process of installing the repaired part.
andquot;When something breaks down, you have to figure out what it was and how you are going to fix it,andquot; he said.
By the end of the day his swather was fixed and he was back cutting hay, hoping the sun keeps shining and it doesn't rain until his hay crops are cut, baled and stacked

Pakistan's Sim Sim Hamara Celebrates International Puppet Day

On Wednesday, March 21, before an audience of 2500 children at the Rafi Peer Cultural Center in Lahore, Rani, a beloved Sim Sim Hamara's puppet, helped inaugurate the festival by cutting a ribbon and releasing hundreds of colorful balloons into the sky. Then Rani and the rest of the Sim Sim Hamara gang spent the rest of International Puppet Day, which marks the first day of the festival, singing the show's theme song and playing with all the children in attendance.
