LAKEWOOD, NJ -- It has been two years since Elaut rolled out the E-Claw concept in the American market, where leading operators have embraced the crane's novel feature and high-end design. E-Claw's widespread acceptance is not surprising, according to Elaut, because the crane is engineered for today's amusement marketplace.
"It's a beautiful machine, works flawlessly and has been fully tested," said Richard Listash of Elaut USA. "Everybody who has it is satisfied."
Lakewood, NJ-based Elaut USA is the U.S. unit of Elaut NV, a manufacturer of amusement equipment based in Sint-Niklass, Belgium. The American company is also one of the largest operators and concessionaires of amusement games and related equipment in the theme park industry.
Listash said E-Claw is one of the manufacturer's top sellers today, approaching the unit volume of its best-selling Wizard of Oz pusher.
Ideal for family entertainment centers and gameooms, E-Claw excels in esthetic, and possesses technological bells and whistles that competing products don't have. The entire E-Claw family, from the 600 and 900 series to the Cosmic model, offers single and multi-player options with the same basic design concept.
Its exterior cabinetry, for instance, is illuminated by RGB LEDs that can provide up to 300,000 programmable shades of color to match any location's décor and coordinate color transitions when machines are linked. A linked bank of cranes illuminated in sync presents a high-impact, eye-catching presence in attract mode. LEDs also reduce energy costs, and last much longer than bulbs. E-Claw is built with vandal-resistant plastic.
The E-Claw feature that has prompted operators to take notice is the interchangeable claw mechanism; claws can be changed out to match a wide variety of prizes. Elaut calls its new gantry "IntraXion."
A claw change takes about 20 seconds. "There are eight combinations of claw sizes an operator can use, depending on weight and size of the prize," Listash explained. "If you match the claw to the prize, it works pretty well. What we're seeing now is operators using retail, heavier plush, and getting good results."
Some E-Claw models can be equipped with Elaut's Winner Gallery, a built-in console with a camera and 22" LCD. When a player wins, a snapshot is taken and placed in the gallery (subject to prior consent).
Elaut USA is expected roll out a new E-Claw design at the IAAPA Attractions Expo.

Bankers May Face U.K. Jail
Senior Bankers 'Reckless' in Taking Risks Could Face Prison Under Government Plans
LONDON—Senior bankers who are "reckless" in taking risks could face prison terms in the U.K., under plans presented by the British government.
The U.K. Treasury said Monday in a report on its efforts to overhaul the nation's banking industry that it is proposing a criminal law to punish "reckless" misconduct by senior bankers. The Treasury also said it was working with regulators to ensure bonuses can be deferred...

Court Says AQHA can Delay Clone Registrations
- Dec 4, 2013
- Topics:
A federal judge is allowing the American Quarter Horse Association (AQHA) to delay registering cloned horses until the association's appeal of an earlier court ruling is decided.
Some owners have used the cloning process—first performed on horses in 2003—to preserve their animals' bloodlines, particularly those of high-performance equines. In response to cloning as a way to preserve bloodlines, some breed associations ruled on whether or not cloned horses can be included in their breed registries. In 2004 the AQHA board of directors approved Rule 227(a), which prohibits cloned horses or their offspring from being included in the organization's breed registry.
Last year Jason Abraham and two of his companies, Abraham & Veneklasen Joint Venture and Abraham Equine Inc., filed a complaint against the AQHA which asks the court to order the AQHA to remove Rule 227(a) on grounds that the ban on registering cloned horses and their offspring violates antitrust laws.
Earlier this year, a 10-person federal district court jury found that the rule preventing cloned Quarter Horses from being registered violated both state and federal antitrust rules. U.S. District Court Judge Mary Lou Robinson later signed an order requiring the AQHA to allow cloned animals in its registry.
In October, the AQHA filed a federal lawsuit asking that the court's ruling be overturned.
AQHA Executive Director for Competition and Breed Integrity Tom Perechino said the AQHA's complaint also asked the court to suspend clone registrations until a ruling in the association's appeal has been made.
On Dec. 2, the U.S. District Court in Amarillo, Texas, allowed the AQHA to delay registering clones and their offspring until the breed association's appeal is heard and decided. The court also ruled that the AQHA must immediately develop its own rules for the registration of clones and their offspring.
Atty. Nancy Stone, who represents Abraham & Veneklasen Joint Venture, was unavailable for comment on the decision.
In a Dec. 3 written statement, AQHA Executive Vice President Don Treadway, Jr. said the association's executive committee would continue its fight against the cloning regulation.
"The AQHA executive committee, myself, and your AQHA employees are pleased with (the) order granting in part our motion for stay, and we will continue to fight for our membership's right to determine the rules for its association," he said.
Treadway said that the AQHA's appeal case now moves on to the Fifth Circuit Court in New Orleans. The AQHA has until Dec. 24 to file its appellate brief in the case.

The Leafs had many roster issues coming into this game. Mike Brown was a late scratch and Matthew Lombardi suffered an injury in the game. The team played well for stretches but the giveaways and our own mistakes haunted us once again. A big contingent of Leafs fans made a trip to Music City tonight, gotta love the dedication of Leafs Nation. RIP Wade Belak, the league loves you for a reason. Also, Nashville fans love to tap dance on the glass.
1 – The Leafs are worrying me, 10-7-2 on the season. In other news, grass is green and food is good.
2 – Solid jump from the puck drop made this game different from other recent Leaf games, but the Predators managed to score on their first shot on goal after a puckhandling error (2nd in two games) by Ben Scrivens. Gunnar also has a helping hand in the goal but error or no error it was still a really lucky goal for the Preds.
3 – Since the opening goal, which came after 5:48 minutes of play, the Predators needed 11 minutes to put their second shot on net. In fact, Nashville had only 3 shots on net during the entire first period. The Leafs outshot them 9-3.
4 – Ben Scrivens made another gigantic stop on the year by stopping a sure goal on a shot by Mike Fisher in the middle of the second. Immediately after, Luke Schenn, who's playing better hockey of late, stops the puck before it crossed the goal line saving Scrivens' rear end. So basically, Ben's game plan is making a mistake on the first goal then standing on his head for the rest of the game. Interesting.
5 – PK was solid, PP was solid. After going 1 for 2 on the PP against the Coyotes, the Leafs went 1/2 tonight. Liles made a really smart rush up the ice when the Predators wanted to change and sniped one. Need to keep it going, but it's really nice to see our powerplay finally producing and our penalty killing killing (5/5 in the last two games). The team was also excellent in the faceoff circle.
6 – Bad giveaway by Dion and the Predators take full advantage. There were times in tonight's game when our captain was fantastic defensively. Then there were times in tonight's game where he looked really horrible defensively. The shot advantage the team gained during the first period was negated after the second. The Preds outshot us 14-8 in that period. The game ended with the Leafs vastly outshooting Nashville (39-21).
7 – Quietly and without much fanfare, JM Liles has collected 11 points on the season along with scoring 3 goals so far. A smart, and cheap, offseason move by Brian Burke.
8 – Matthew Lombardi got injured late in the second and he didn't return. Just what the doctor ordered, right? Not enough injury problems on the Leafs for the hockey gods, I guess. Komisarek left the game in the third… Activate the Marlies!
9 – I love the guy, but Nikolai Kulemin has to start generating offense. He's doing what he does defensively, but when you're a top six forward you're counted on to produce offense – this isn't news. Good late scrap between McGrattan and Rosehill but McGrattan spoils it by being a clown at the end. Apparently, winning fights against helmets is pretty satisfying. Bleeding knuckles are just the icing on the cake. Craig Smith – top, top, top shelf? Even Fisher hinted a smile.
10 – 3 mistakes, 3 goals against. That was the story of this game. Pekka Rinne is good at tending goal. Expect something. Soon.

|CMC trip. It was a beautiful day for a hike: sunny and not too cold. We followed North Cheyenne Creek/Seven Bridges Trail to Jones Park, then followed Bear Creek to the SW side of Garfield, where we left the trail and bushwhacked straight up to the summit. A few of our group then went over to Mount Arthur, but I had a thing that evening, so I was content with summiting Garfield only.

|I just HAD to go back and find that darned register! Climb #3 and I finally got my name on it--I mean, *them,* since there are *two* registers in that old *metal* tube (one started in 1979 and one started in 1986). No WD-40 needed this time; the top screwed off beautifully and the inside was nice & dry. You can avoid the Class 3 *only* if you are prescient, since the timber prevents seeing very far ahead! Generally, divert to climber's right when in doubt. It looks easy from the approach, but this peak has some surprises for the unprepared. Also, views from the summit are *lousy* thanks to all the trees--hard even to see Mt. Arthur!

|Wow, if anyone wants to sign the summit register, you'd best bring WD-40. We couldn't unscrew the lid! Surprised that the foot path up the drainage to the saddle between Garfield and Arthur was so solid. The bushwack up the east slope of Garfield was a bugger in the snow with a small (2-person) team, though.

|Climbed this after Tuckaway Mountain, having missed summiting due to weather the previous week. The bushwhack from Tuckaway was straightforward, and there was some fun somewhat exposed scrambling up the northwest ridge. Descended down the drainage between Garfield and Arthur via a well-cairned trail, past Loud's Cabin and back to trail 667 (Cap'n Jacks).

|Made this summit a combo with Arthur and Tenney Crags. The hike to Garfield was very enjoyable. I left the Bear Creek Trail a little bit earlier but the bushwacking was easy and I found myself on the saddle between Garfield and Arthur. A short easy climb from there. I had fun doing some class 3 climbing on Garfield. You could easily keep it class 2 if you choose. The summit register was started in 1979 and is only about 1/2 full!

|Route Climbed: South-East Gully to Garfield-Arthur Saddle
Date Climbed: Sep 29, 2007
|I don't think I saw anyone else who has taken this route, but I highly recommend it! It passes next to Louds Cabin, a waterfall, and the saddle between Arthur and Garfield (a nice, flat grassy plain). While the final ascent (from the east side of Garfield) is steep, it doesn't sound as bad as others posted about the western ascent. But I've never done the wester ascent so... who knows? Also, there is a fairly nice trail most of the way up this route... it starts to disappear about a quarter mile from the saddle. Finally, the Log is still up there... Still from 1979. Look for it! It's at the extreme top and there is a big metal rod sticking up out of the rocks where it sits. The canister itself is thick metal and a bit rusted so it does kind of blend in with the surroundings. Still, it has really preserved the logs well! Not like the cheap plastic canisters that bust easily and let water in.

|I climbed Mt. Garfield. At least, I think I did. I found the highest point on the ridge after traversing several lower ones. My altimiter read an elevation higher than the accepted value for the summit. OTOH, I found no register, which was supposed to be there, and it jogged no memories of when I climbed it 30 years ago. Hmmm...I say "yes!"

|Made a long winter climb by combining 10'ers Tenney Crags, Arthur, and Garfield, making for a 11 mile, 4500' vertical day. The snow was managable until about 10K'. Very interesting summit register there, probably one of the oldest I have seen. I descended the steep south ridge, which was loaded with deadfall and rock outcroppings.

|Serious bushwack above Bear Creek Valley. Summited via the west ridge which was rather cliffy in places and descended the south face via some boulderfields. Based on the summit register the summit is rarely visited. Great views of the Bear Creek Valley, Tuckaway Mountain and Pikes Peak.

US Department of Labor delivers Unemployment Compensation Integrity Act draft legislation to Congress
Act would strengthen efforts to fight employer fraud and improper payments
WASHINGTON The U.S. Department of Labor announced the transmittal of the Unemployment Compensation Integrity Act of 2010 to Congress. The draft legislation, if enacted, will help states fight employer fraud and reduce improper benefit payments.
"Reducing improper payments and fighting employer fraud are crucial for improving the integrity of the Unemployment Compensation program," said Secretary of Labor Hilda L. Solis. "The Unemployment Compensation Integrity Act would give states the additional resources and tools they need to guarantee that only those who are eligible for benefits receive them and employers who defraud the system pay their fair share of taxes."
Among several provisions, the act would permit states to use up to five percent of recovered unemployment compensation overpayments to deter and detect benefit overpayments. It also would allow states to use up to five percent of contributions collected due to employer fraud or tax evasion including misclassification of employees to combat these problems.
Mandates would include requiring states to assess a penalty of not less than 15 percent of the amount overpaid on any overpayments that result from claimant fraud. The act also would give employers an incentive to provide timely, accurate and complete information about why their former employees no longer work for them information that is critical for states to make proper benefit payment decisions. Additionally, the act would require employers to report the first day of earnings for new hires to the National Directory of New Hires. This step would help to reduce overpayments due to individuals who return to work but continue to collect unemployment compensation.
The Unemployment Compensation Integrity Act is one piece of a larger Obama Administration effort to reduce improper payments within federally administered programs. The estimated direct savings from this legislation would be $1.642 billion over ten years.

I've been told by a lot of people over the years that I need to start making youtube videos (some of them may have changed their minds once they learned of my low opinion of most youtube commenters), but the hurdle has always been the learning curve — I could just yell at my camera, but I'm used to investing a little prep time, and also I generally find those so, so boring. The only way to learn is to do, though, so I did. I clumsily assembled a little video discussing recent blog posts on Pharyngula, and here it is. I'm calling it the Pharyngula Fringe Report.
Not giving up my day job, don't worry.
I think I'll be trying to do this sort of thing sporadically over the summer, while I'm pinned down in Lovely Morris Minnesota, managing our summer research program. Maybe I'll get a little better at it; I recognize that there are real skills involved in putting a good video together, and I don't have them yet. Anyway, suggestions and criticisms are welcome.

I attended ASU under a scholarship for a summer course in Psychology. Also included in this four week program were multiple tours to various aspects in the college, heavily focused on their amazing STEM related museums, study areas, and classes. The teacher was wonderful to be around and taught the course very well, and the mentors who accompanied us were friendly, outgoing, and kind. The campus is perfect for those looking for a large college lifestyle, because the Tempe campus is massive. There are also various things to do in Tempe, which is great for extroverts and the adventurous types. The students are pleasant to be around, and the food is great! I would highly recommend ASU's Tempe campus.
I enjoy life in the dorms at ASU. Quickly after I first moved in, I realized that ASU is an environment which promotes learning and life-long friendships. As I continue along my path to graduation, I can see that there is still much fun to be had. I love to meet new people, so the environment is perfect for someone like myself. Whether it's in your class, walking to the Memorial Union (restaurant hub of campus), or studying in Hayden library - you're guaranteed to meet somebody new and interesting. Another thing that really stuck out to me about my school is the school spirit at sports events, it's really something!
Great Professors, they express the love of teaching and aim for student success!

The Jersey shore home where Bruce Springsteen wrote the album "Born to Run" is back on the market.
The asking price: $299,000.
The two-bedroom cottage at 7 West End Court in Long Branch is owned by three fans of the singer. They bought it in 2009 with the idea of turning the home into a tribute to the New Jersey rock legend, but those plans derailed.
Springsteen has said that he wrote every song on the "Born to Run" album -- including the title track and other classic songs such as "Thunder Road" and `"Jungleland" -- while living in the home from 1974 to 1975.
The house occasionally draws visitors, and the current owners say they try to accommodate the fans.

Matsuzaka short-arms Yanks
After rough fourth, righty regains control as Sox fend off rivals
By Ian Browne / MLB.com
Just like that, Matsuzaka went into no-sweat mode, setting down the final six batters he faced en route to a topsy-turvy 11-4 victory over the Yankees on Friday night.
Pitching atop the mound at historic Yankee Stadium for the first time, Matsuzaka (six innings, five hits, four runs, four walks, seven strikeouts) ultimately prevailed, adding to the ongoing woes of the Yankees, who have now lost seven in a row.
As for the 15-7 Sox, they just keeping chugging along. Manager Terry Francona's first-place team has won eight of 10, including four in a row against its rival from the Bronx.
"We've got to worry about ourselves and playing good baseball," said Red Sox catcher Jason Varitek. "[Julio] Lugo had a great night. We were able to stay in there and get our bullpen in the right situation. [Kevin] Youkilis had the big homer. We have to worry about ourselves, not necessarily what they're doing. We have to worry about ourselves playing good baseball."
Matsuzaka is 2-0 against the Yankees after beating his rivals for the second time in six days. Not that he was thumping his chest over that.
"I wouldn't say that there's any personal satisfaction in beating the Yankees," Matsuzaka said. "But as a team, I'm very, very happy that we won."
Everything seemed to fall apart for Matsuzaka in a four-run fourth inning. He faced nine batters in the unsettling frame, threw 41 pitches and walked the bases loaded, putting Boston in a 4-2 hole. No wonder those red sleeves were feeling so toasty on a night Matsuzaka went on to throw 117 pitches.
"If I got into all the things that happened in the fourth inning, that would be a very long story and it would sound like a lot of excuses," said Matsuzaka. "To keep a long story short, I'll just say that there's a few things technically that I still need to work on."
Because of the whopping pitch count alone, Matsuzaka came harrowingly close to a shower that had nothing to do with the misty weather. Manager Terry Francona was getting antsy on the bench. Lefty J.C. Romero was warming up in the bullpen.
"That was a difficult inning," Francona said. "I think he threw 41 pitches. That's almost an alarming number of pitches. We were in the duguout thinking, 'We don't know how much longer he can go.' He ends up giving us two more clean innings. And the fact that we come right back after they had that long inning was huge. He got to sit and rest a little bit, and we put some runs on the board."
Matsuzaka also ran into a bit of the Murphy's Law that can happen in baseball. Jorge Posada blooped an RBI single just in front of a diving Manny Ramirez. Johnny Damon fought off a tough 3-2 pitch and hit what looked like a check-swing two-run single to right.

"Johnny just had a typical Johnny at-bat," said Varitek. "[It was a] good athletic at-bat, put the ball in play. We just got ourselves into some trouble with some walks."
Matsuzaka's first month as a Major League pitcher now complete, he is 3-2 with a 4.36 ERA. Adjusting from one baseball culture to another, Matsuzaka knows his progress will be gradual.
"Even though I've studied opposing lineups on DVD and having held pitchers meetings, it's still different from actually facing them in reality," Matsuzaka said. "I think that overall I've been a little bit too cautious, but I do think that it's sort of a natural phase that I do need to get over."
This night wasn't just a struggle for the rookie starting pitcher. Andy Pettitte had his own meltdown, and the timing couldn't have been better for the Red Sox. Just after Matsuzaka finished his laborious fourth, Pettitte lost control in the fifth.
In fact, Pettitte (4 2/3 innings, six hits, five runs, five walks, five strikeouts) couldn't complete the inning. The Red Sox scored three times to go back on top, and stayed there the rest of the night.
Lugo got things going with a one-out walk and a stolen base. Youkilis hammered a single to left and David Ortiz followed with an RBI single, getting Boston to within a run. Then, Pettitte had a control meltdown, walking Manny Ramirez, Mike Lowell and Varitek, the latter two of which forced in runs to put the Sox ahead, 5-4.
Aside from the resiliency of Matsuzaka, the other strength for the Sox was the top of the order. Leadoff man Lugo was a pest all night to the Yankees, going 3-for-4 with three runs, a homer, three RBIs and two stolen bases. No. 2 hitter Youkilis was 2-for-4 with a walk, a homer, two runs and two RBIs.
As for Matsuzaka, he was candid about the fact that there are still things he needs to figure out.
"I don't think there were too many things I actually did improve upon from my pervious starts, but there are some things that I have been working on," Matsuzaka said. "The sort of pitching you saw today might be what you see for a few more starts as I get used to the opposing lineups. But that being said, it's the type of pitching I would like to avoid."
What does Varitek expect going forward?
"I'm not sure, because I haven't been through a full season with him," said the captain. "I've seen him execute better at different times in the spring, even in the season. I saw him execute extremely well tonight, too, at different times. It's just getting all those things rolling together in one start and he could have a magical start the time he does it."
In the meantime, the Red Sox will take the wins, as laborious as they may be.

SAN JOSE — Police have arrested four men and three juveniles on suspicion of murder in connection with the gang-related beating death earlier this year of a 14-year-old San Jose boy at Roosevelt Park.
The most recent arrest occurred on Oct. 12, when the San Jose Police Department's Covert Response Unit arrested Angel Garcia Lamas, 20, of San Jose, in connection with the murder on April 27 of Heriberto Reyes, who was an eighth-grade student at Bernal Intermediate School in South San Jose.
The other arrests occurred on Sept. 26, Oct. 2 and Oct. 10, according to police.
Officers first arrested Javier Hernandez, 20, of San Jose, along with three juvenile suspects on Sept. 26, according to police. Officers then arrested James Conklin, 18, of San Jose, and Scott Conway, 19, on suspicion of murder.
Police did not release the ages of the three juvenile suspects.
On April 27 just before 7 p.m., police say a fight broke out at Roosevelt Park in downtown San Jose, a known gang hangout. Police say Heriberto was targeted and attacked by several suspects and died three days later from those injuries.
Heriberto previously attended Davis Intermediate School, which is in the Oak Grove School District.
Police have revealed few details about the crime.
The encounter involved several people in the park, located between Julian and Santa Clara streets, just west of Highway 101, police said previously. During an altercation, Heriberto was beaten and then taken to the hospital with severe injuries. He was pronounced dead at 2:23 p.m. on April 30.
Police won't say what Heriberto was wearing at the time or why he could have been targeted. The park and the school he attends are located in different areas of town.

Tin Swift: The Age of Steam (Cedar Hunt)
by Devon Monk
Cover Artist: Cliff Nielsen
Review by Drew Bittner
Roc Trade Paperback ISBN/ITEM#: 9780451464538
Date: 03 July 2012 List Price $15.00 Amazon US / Amazon UK

But the machinations of an evil ex-general and a deathless Strange enemy may be more than this werewolf can handle...
In Tin Swift, Devon Monk continues the steampunk/Western adventures of Cedar Hunt and his motley crew. Mae Lindson is wracked by the demands of her coven, which often leave her bereft of her wits; Rose Small is seeking new adventures out in the world; and the Madder brothers want only to get the Holder, which was scattered to the four winds.
When they come to a tiny town named Vicinity, they discover that everyone in town has been murdered...and torn into tiny pieces, with several missing. Hunt immediately suspects the work of an enemy, but it cannot be; the one he has in mind was very thoroughly killed. But even so...
Then an explosive trap infects Rose with a tiny piece of the tin component of the Holder. By itself, the tin item killed the whole town and reanimated the corpses; with it stuck in Rose Small's shoulder, it is only a matter of time before she dies--and perhaps rises again as a Strange.
Cedar and the Madders nearly come to blows over how to proceed, only to have Cedar and the women rescued by Capt. Hink Cage and his airship, the Swift. Cage and his crew ordinarily reap glim, the luminous green dust, from the airless reaches above the highest mountains; right now, though, they are being hunted by Gen. Alabaster Saint and his murderous crew of renegade airship captains and mutilated soldiers. Cage cost Saint dearly, and the one-eyed general intends to make Cage suffer tenfold in return.
Cage is reluctant to keep Hunt and his allies aboard, until his engineer Molly Gregor sees a keepsake in Rose Small's possession and unexpectedly vouches for them. Irritated but yielding to necessity, Cage joins forces with Hunt and his group, finding rather quickly that they share some common goals as well as a common enemy.
Chased by enemy airships, the valiant Swift is battered and forced to land in a shipyard cleaved from a mountain pass. Rose is getting worse and Hink Cage himself has been enchanted by a desperate bit of magic, but things could be worse...and soon enough, they are.
In their uncertain refuge, they encounter a trio of adventurers who will prove to be very helpful going forward. If they can survive the merciless Saint and his army of rebuilt veterans, that is.
Monk delivers a high-powered sequel in this volume, putting her heroes into ever-increasing danger and raising the stakes. Although the Strange try to turn the tables, and some tire of what looks like an unending battle against mankind's enemies, Hunt and his small group manage to defy the odds through heroic courage, pluck and a refusal to quit.
Cedar Hunt is little changed from when first seen, a man whose "curse" transforms him into a beast for three nights every month. Now, however, he is beginning to get a handle on this curse, with help from the Madder brothers and Mae Lindson, and it might mark the turning point in his battle with himself.
On the other hand, Mae Lindson herself is wracked with the demands of her coven to return, return, return, and the stress is driving her insane. Her lucid days are good ones but her loss of focus proves devastating at times, especially when the crew is forced to depend upon her erratic sanity.
Hink Cage is a neat addition to the setting, an airship captain with a secret (or two), who inspires loyalty from his crew. He's a bit like Mal Reynolds from Firefly, although his crew is far smaller and a bit less violent. His role in the story is a great one, though, as the victim (and beneficiary) of Mae's confounded wits (and magic).
The enemy of the tale is appropriately villainous, and it might not be a great surprise when an earlier antagonist joins forces with Saint to cause trouble for Hunt's people. Saint has a plan that could bring the Union to its knees, with only Hunt and Cage to stop him. His plan provides the dramatic thrust of the novel, as the heroes uncover it bit by bit and then must decide what to do...and what sacrifices they're prepared to make.
A rousing good read and a very worthy sequel, this book is a standout among the recent crop of steampunk/supernatural westerns on the shelves.

Barry Zito hopes an offseason heavy on weight training will help him recapture his form.
"The workouts are awesome," Zito, who has been training all winter with fitness guru and fellow Giants pitcher Brian Wilson, told the San Francisco Chronicle. "We're working out six days a week, two-a-days."
"You can see a good difference," said Wilson, who adheres to among the most intense workout regimens and strictest diets of anyone on the Giants. "As far as strength goes, I don't think he's done this kind of work before. The gains are tremendous."
Rollins lends more time to make 'Strong Kids': Jimmy Rollins, the honorary chairman of the YMCA's Strong Kids campaign, recently visited the center to tape a promotional piece.
"I am blessed," Rollins told MLB.com. "I have so much, and I believe that the best thing I can do to show my thanks is to give back."
His affinity for the YMCA is no accident, as Rollins' parents met at a Y.
"My mom and dad stayed on me," he said. "I wasn't allowed to go outside or play Nintendo until my homework was finished. And I couldn't just say I did it. I had to show them. And not until they looked it over and it was OK was I allowed to go out. The discipline and education I gained as a result is still with me today. It is unfortunate that many kids these days don't have that family support that I did, and that's where the Y comes in."
Arizona signs Garland to one-year deal: Jon Garland first turned down an offer from the Arizona Diamondbacks. But two weeks later, the right-hander agreed to terms with the team on a one-year contract that will send him to the desert.
There is a mutual option for 2010, meaning Garland could stay in Phoenix for at least two years.
"It was still a destination I wanted to land," Garland told the Arizona Republic. "I got in contact with [agent Craig Landis] after we turned down the initial offer and said, 'Let's not get away from this. Let's keep pursuing this.' I felt like I definitely fit in well with this team and this pitching staff."
Garland has thrown at least 191 innings in each of the last season years.
Surgery keeps Carlos Pena off Classic team: Carlos Pena will not play in the World Baseball Classic for the Dominican Republic after undergoing surgery three weeks ago to repair two tears in his lower abdominal muscle.
He played with pain from August through the postseason and hoped rest in the offseason would lessen the pain. However, it persisted and he underwent surgery on Jan. 8.
The Rays waited until last week to make the surgery public, saying it was "minor surgery" and "he will be ready to go for Spring Training," the St. Petersburg Times reported.
Fogg could make return to Rockies: The Colorado Rockies could be welcoming a starting pitcher back into the fold as Josh Fogg admitted he is leaning toward returning to the team for which he once pitched. General manger Dan O'Dowd said he is interested in having Fogg come back.
"I have sent e-mails to his agent, and we will see where it goes," O'Dowd said told the Denver Post. "I would like to have more depth. Our pitching could become extremely interesting if we have five guys in the rotation and [five more] guys to pull from either in the bullpen or [Triple-A]."
Just like old times for Hampton in Houston: Mike Hampton hasn't pitched for the Houston Astros in nearly 10 years, but while traveling with club representatives on the team's winter caravan, it is clear Astros fans are happy to see him in Houston once again.
"It's just what I remember," Hampton told MLB.com after the traveling party visited patients at the Dell Children's Medical Center of Central Texas. "I remember doing these caravans when I was first coming up, being 21, 22, 23 years old, and it's still fun. It's still nice to get out and see people. It's nice to see people haven't forgotten that I played for the Astros at one time."
Wainwright ready to log more innings: For Adam Wainwright, there's no reason to wonder about what might have been in 2008. Instead he just wants to look ahead to 2009.
"It's hard for me to say how different it would have been if I would have made all my starts, but I like to think I would have made a positive impact," Wainwright told MLB.com. "The guys who stepped in instead of me were outstanding, too, though, so I wouldn't want to take away from what they did."
Samardzija eyes spot in starting rotation: Jeff Samardzija spent his 2008 stint in Chicago working out of the bullpen, an option much preferred to pitching in Triple-A. But given the choice, Samardzija would love to make the Cubs' starting rotation.
"I got word that I was going to get a shot [to start] in Spring Training. That's all I need to know. There's an open spot, and during Spring Training I'll fight tooth and nail to earn it," Samardzija told the Chicago Tribune. "I feel great. My arm feels awesome."
Edwin Jackson ready to contribute: Edwin Jackson isn't necessarily sure what role best suits him, but what he does know is that he just wants to be a part of making the Detroit Tigers the best team it can be.
"Me, I'm trying to be the person who just picks up slack," Jackson told MLB.com. "A good pitching staff, there's a slack there, where one person does a good job, then the next person gets it done. That's what it takes to win ballgames."
Mike Gonzalez brings 'new arm' to Braves: Braves manager Bobby Cox got to watch Mike Gonzalez throw during a voluntary workout at Turner Field and came away impressed with what he saw. Gonzalez missed more than 12 months due to Tommy John surgery before re-joining the Braves last June.
"You can only imagine what it's going to be like after a full offseason of rest," Cox told the Atlanta Journal-Constitution.
"I know when I'm healthy, I'm going to succeed in any position they put me in," Gonzalez said. "I feel like I have a new arm, like I'm 20 years old again."
Heilman going home after brief stay in Seattle: After being acquired by the Mariners from the Mets in the J.J. Putz deal, Aaron Heilman was sent packing again, this time to the Chicago Cubs for two players. Heilman never pitched in a game for Seattle but did appear at the team's FanFest program.
"It was a little surprising to get the call from [Mariners GM] Jack [Zduriencik]," Heilman told the Seattle Times. "For what little time I was able to spend in Seattle, I had a great impression of the city and fans. I was looking forward to being able to play there and kind of enjoy a little of the West Coast lifestyle. I'm still a little shellshocked, but that's the nature of the game."
Heilman grew up a Cubs fan in northern Indiana, went to school at Notre Dame and lives in a Chicago suburb.
"Being able to play at home, in the same city I live, is a tremendous luxury," Heilman said.
Gordon close to signing with Arizona: Arizona appears close to adding depth to its bullpen as the club is closing in on signing free agent Tom Gordon.
"We've had a number of conversations, and we're getting close," Rick Thurman, Gordon's agent, told the Arizona Republic.

Halls is for dumb tourists only. All of the negative comments on this board are true. The food is average, the prices are high and the four owners are a pain in the butt. Please stay away from this horrible place.
12$ liquor drinks you get for $5 dollars everywhere else and average mail order Allen Bros. steaks, yet the tourists flock to this place. All the locals do is laugh. The family has a well deserved reputation as the most freaky, eccentric family in Charleston, which is why the locals stay away.
Bad comment #2 in a row. Expect another glowing review from someone who has never posted on CCP imminently.
Awful, son at the door is rude and they treat you like they dont want your business. Come to find out they have bought other restaurants downtown and they all are failing!
Went at 11:30 pm and the bouncer literally did not let me in...I'm 21. I am there most weekends. My ID was real and I showed the cops across the street. The owner should maybe look into this...
tried them a couple of times. First, wife is from Philly, I lived there with her a couple of years, and the reason we went there the first time was because of that description. Ain't even close. And the wings? Dipped in bottled sauce and way undercooked ( I'm talking red and raw at the bone) the first time, overcooked the second. We used to live about 4 blocks from the joint, but after the second try we never went back.
"I humbly ask the ownership to take note of these trends in comments. I just hope they get this bit corrected."
Seeing as how you copied and pasted this exact same post from 2 years ago, I'd say you have your answer. They're too cool to give a shit about customer service. And after 10 pm they're too wasted to give a shit.
Overpriced. Average food. WEIRD management. I have never been to a restaurant with such intrusive owners. It is CREEPY. Go to wikipedia and look up pompous and you will see Billy's face. So many better options in this city. Don't bother.
I wanted SO BADLY to like this place. With only a few hookah bars in downtown (Tabbouli, Paradiso, and Smoking Lamp), it is high time for Charleston to up its game. But this just isn't the place. Yes, the interior looks nice - for now. But with the same owners as Torch, I suspect that it may go downhill and feel dirty just like the previous bar.
The place really has an identity crisis. "Moroccan" theme, with an Indian name, serving Turkish food, and with Latino ownership? The decor is nice, though far from authentic, but more importantly - the hookahs are AWFUL! It is actually embarassing to watch their employees make them.. it's clear they have no idea what they are doing. Moreover, they have no idea what the pricing is.. I visited three times and ordered the EXACT same hookah each time, and was charged different prices by different employees each time. Upon bringing this up, they got extremely confrontational and did not provide any sort of menu that listed their pricing.
Aside from rude employees and a lack of identity, the crowd was really the most off-putting aspect of this (bar? club? restuarant? hookah lounge?).. It is fine on a laid-back weeknight, but the location of the bar BEHIND the hookah lounge is just a bad idea. Excuse me as I'm enjoying my smoke, I do not want to see some blacked-out girl hiking up her dress and sloppily making out with some guy as she nearly knocks over my hookah. Really just an awkward place overall, and so sad to see that what could have been an awesome concept was so poorly executed.
Worst food experience I have ever had at this restaurant. It all started out with a simple misunderstanding about the menu. It all finished with me vowing to never go back again.
This was the worst restaurant I have ever eaten at. I have never had a worse dining experience in my life. First, the waitress tried to upsell everything to us, and kept pushing us to order more, it was very uncomfortable. Secondly, they failed to tell us that rolls were half price because it was happy hour. We had no idea, and our friend came in randomly, and told us about the deal we were missing out on. We felt pretty cheated, they deliberately hid the deal from us, because they wanted to charge us full price. Two rolls were $24 which is a total rip off. Then, my wife asked to cancel one of her rolls as she had ordered too much, they would not allow her to cancel it, they said it was already made, when it was right after she ordered. It was really crazy. Lastly, when we came to pay, I used a $20 groupon I had purchased plus cash, it was 100% valid and purchased recently, they refused to take it saying it was only good at certain times of day?? It was completely ridiculous! I have never had a worse experience at any restaurant, in my life!
Do not eat here, they are crooks and it is a terrible atmosphere. I cannot stress this enough, don't waste your money here. They were really sneaky about the half off. When we asked our waitress about the half off deal she got very offended and told us that you had to sit in a certain section of the restaurant to get the deal. This was after we had gotten the huge bill. It was absolutely unbelievable.
Stay away from this place at all costs.
This place on a Saturday is ridiculous. They charge 5$ cover fee to have to wait at the bar and get served like 20 mins later. Who does this 5$ go to? That stuck up little club promoter who thinks his stuff doesn't stink. GET RID OF THAT GUY!!! I will take my business elsewhere.
After spending a good deal of time and money at this restaurant, Halls finally showed us their true colors. Dont be fooled by their fake charm like we did. They need a security doorman at the front to handle the drunk unruly patrons who insult and fall over other customers. I felt like i was at a Biker Bar. The Halls and their staff are ineffective and inexperienced to deal with this. I have been to numerous steakhouses over the last 25 years and this would never occur there . Do yourself a favor, go to Oak and be treated properly and professionaly everytime, in addition to getting a much better quality meal.
Ordered take out wings last night from Wings and they had a problem with their credit card processing system. So they just kept swiping my card and eventually gave up and wrote up a manual slip. Lo and behold the next morning I had been charged 5 TIMES on my credit card. Definitely won't be using a credit card if I ever go there again! Now I have a huge mess to straighten out with them and my bank.
Ever wonder why the people around here hate those from New Jersey?
Spend some time with the owners of this place and you will know why.
Wow where do I start with this nightmare. I am a pretty easy going guy, rarely send food back or complain. It was a busy Friday night at Folly Beach but Snapper jacks wasn't too busy, we waited at the bar, had a good beer and were seated at the table in about 10 minutes. After about 20 minutes our drinks were about gone and we were curious where our waitress was, the hostess found her sitting at the next table next to us with friends, I had noticed her there when we sat down, she was there the entire 20 minutes and laughing with the friends I didn't think she was a waitress. The waitress, Lauren, came over and took our drink order, we ordered soon after and that's where the nightmare started. After about an hour we wondered what had happened to our food, there really wasn't many people eating in this place. About an hour 15 one plate came out, and it took another 15 minutes to get the rest. my chicken was paper thin, cold and dry as rubber, whatever the flatbread shrimp thing was was burned on the bottom and the Salmon was 1/2 inch wide and 3 inches long, for $18 REALLY!!, I have had bigger and better Salmon at Sams as a sampler. The only decent plate was the fried shrimp, tough to screw that up. I gave my plate back to Lauren the waitress and our friend returned the burned flatbread thing and asked for an appetizer which she got quick, it was only shrimp dip, pretty bland btw. The manager came over about 15 minutes later, his name was Jay, he did the typical manager "i'm sorry but I really don't care" routine and said he would look into why our food was so bad, so late and so separated in delivery, I didn't expect to see him again and I wasn't disappointed. So after the chicken and flatbread thing was removed we still owed almost $100 between 4 people, friggen insane for the night we had in that place. I have been in Charleston for almost 20 years and have never had such an experience. We will never go back there, and I tell everyone I know the same, I hope tourists read this and stay clear as well. Lauren find another job, maybe involving a pole, Jay I heard there's a opening at McDonalds, you're a poor excuse for a manager, you weren't that busy you couldn't take care of paying customers
Great location, not a bad seat in the house
But The Sound Board Is The Worst I've Heard Maybe He Just Doesn't Like Bluegrass Or Folk. The sound man can make or break a venue
Filthy, tasteless, vulgar.
Not worth the money, won't be back.
horrible place, food is sucks, service is slow. i was there yesterday to watch halloween contest. i do not f.. believe that winners had no costumes won. Judges eliminated really good costumes like everybody's favorite rednecks couple. i believe winners were friends with bar stuffs or judges. worst halloween contest ever ever ever. highly not recommended. place needs to shut down.

2012 has been a good year to be a Rush fan.
In June, the revered Canadian progressive rock trio released one of the finest albums of its 35-year career, in the form of the conceptually continuous "Clockwork Angels."
In recent weeks, the day came that many Rush fans assumed never would – the band made the final list of prospective nominees for the 2013 class of the Rock 'n' Roll Hall of Fame, after years of being snubbed by the museum's nomination committee.
And most significantly, for Rush has always been a band best experienced in the concert setting, the "Clockwork Angels" world tour was launched.
That tour stopped by First Niagara Center on Friday, and the faithful turned out in droves, selling out the venue. If the Rush devout were already having a good year, Friday's show sealed the deal. It was an epic event on every level.
Bassist/vocalist/keyboardist Geddy Lee, guitarist Alex Lifeson and drummer Neil Peart took the stage to the sound of "Subdivisions," lyricist Peart's depiction of suburban ennui and teenage alienation, and the crowd achieved liftoff immediately. An air of giddy excitement pervaded for the next three hours, during which Rush engaged the assembled on a profound emotional level and blended peerless rock instrumental virtuosity and Monty Python-esque humor into the bargain along the way.
The two-set gig was smartly crafted and elegantly paced, essentially employing the first set as an opportunity to play some long-neglected deep cuts from the albums "Power Windows" and "Hold Your Fire," as well as the band's "Moving Pictures" calling card, "Limelight."
The powerful pairing of "The Big Money" with "Force Ten" brought those '80s tunes firmly into the present, and the synth- and sequencer-driven "Grand Designs" was a joy, a clever and intricate marriage of techno and prog-rock that was performed flawlessly. "Limelight" gave Lifeson the opportunity for his first transcendent guitar solo of the evening, and he earned an ovation at its conclusion. He did the same during the hard-driving but also ethereal and beautiful "Analog Kid" with a wholly unique marriage of technique and melody that reminded us just how influential Lifeson has been on the evolution of rock guitar playing over the past four decades.
"Bravado," a lilting, U2-esque affair, drove home one of Peart's consistent lyrical themes with its insistence on maintaining grace under pressure and dignity in the face of the suffering that life inevitably brings. "And if love remains," Lee sang during the song's coda, "though everything is lost/We will pay the price/But we will not count the cost." This was one of numerous hair-raising moments. The buoyant and infectious instrumental "Where's My Thing?" gave Peart the opportunity for the first of the evening's three solo drum extemporizations, and it was simply ridiculous – a riveting hybrid of confident, unerring groove and dazzling chops.
The first set could have been the whole concert, and Friday still would have been a memorable evening, but Rush was just getting warmed up.
After a 15-minute intermission, the band returned to tackle the dense, challenging and in many ways career-defining "Clockwork Angels" material. The album tells the story of a character's journey through life amid a seemingly uncaring and pre-scripted universe presided over by an aloof and inscrutable "Watchmaker." The elements of steampunk that pepper the story were replicated by the stage set, with the inner workings and grinding gears of clocks and watches appearing as repeated motifs across an intricate assembly of tubes and steam-hissing pipes. The combined effect was ominous and elegant. Launching into "Caravan," the group unveiled its "Clockwork Angels String Ensemble," an eight-piece string section situated on a riser behind Peart. These musicians are the first to share the stage during a Rush show, for the band has stuck steadfastly over the years to its desire to re-create its richly detailed music solely as a trio. The gambit paid off – throughout the second set, the string ensemble added a melodic and harmonic heft to the material, at times lending a Led Zeppelin-esque density to the muscular Rush attack, and at others underscoring the supple beauty of the music's construction.
The nine-song "Clockwork Angels" set represented a career high for Rush. It flowed seamlessly, with the midpoint highlight of "Headlong Flight" punctuated by another Peart drum solo and the aforementioned "The Garden" encapsulating Peart's hard-won philosophy: "The treasure of a life/Is a measure of love and respect/The way you live, the gifts that you give/And the fullness of time is the only return that you expect," as Lee sang. It was poignant, even when delivered in the potentially distancing environment of a hockey arena.
The crowd greeted the "Clockwork Angels" material with rabid enthusiasm, and as it concluded, the assembled reaped its reward – a smoldering "Manhattan Project" into Peart's final drum improvisation, and then "Red Sector A" and the ebullient instrumental "YYZ." The addition of the string ensemble to this material elevated the proceedings as it emphasized color and texture and added harmony.
As the string ensemble left the stage, Lee, Lifeson and Peart tore through an inspired "The Spirit of Radio," took a bow and departed, only to return for an encore that commenced with "Tom Sawyer" and then edited together a medley of the classic "2112" material, with "Overture/The Temples of Syrinx" moving straight into the piece's "Grand Finale."
Epic. Profound. Joyous. Incredible.

The beginning of the 2010-2011 season was disappointing to me, being one of the teams to lose their all stars to the Heat, I expected the Raptors to be much, much better than Cleveland, don't get me wrong they really, really are (if your not following their record they are 8-25 and are just terrible, they also own 3 former raptors. Jamario, Joey and Anthony Parker)
however we are also not doing to well with a 11-21 record placing 11 in the East. Considering the amount of injuries we have it's a barely record (in my opinion).
How our players played (my opinion)
Andrea: Played well until he got injured, much speculation on if the Raptors need him or not.
Joey Dorsey, Ed Davis: hard working, i was really happy with their efforts and offensive rebounding.
Young Onez: Playing with a lot of heart and soul out there, there have been growing pains for all of them but its comforting to know that their best games are to come.
Jose: Passing great and scoring decently, uncharacteristic turnovers are killing the Raps tho.
Bayless: playing with lots of heart, a tough kid.
Barbosa and Kleiza: Need to regain preseason form
Julian Wright: Always plays well WHEN he plays
(Im not writing about Ronald Dupree (am i spelling that right?) or Solomon Alabi because they dont really play).
10 things I expect going into the new year are...
1. at least 15 more wins
2. A big trade that will benefit the Raptors (possibly Kleiza, Barbosa, etc)
3. The Young Onez WILL NOT lose a member (The reason is because they all have so much potential, the average age is 22.6
4. Demar to get to a new level of playing and become a lot more consistent
5. Andrea to finish the year with 20 points a game. (even if he's traded which i dont think will happen)
6. Bayless to take over the starting point guard position for a small portion of the remainder of the season.
7. Calderon to stop making retarded turnovers
8. Joey Dorsey will become a part of the Raptors rotation even when all of our players are back.
9. Sonny Weems will not get his starting 3 spot back.
10. Derozan will receive a larger role in Tdots offense and get a load more touches down the road.
What yall think? what do you expect? what do you disagree with? what do you agree with?

Extremely windy on top (60-70 mph gust), but beautiful sunny and hot for this time of year. We had lunch at the junction between Cascade and Porter. We then hiked to Porter, by Blueberry Mt and down to Marcy Airfield. The trail between Porter and Blueberry was maintained but it was clear it isn't a frequently travelled route.

Non-native goats and iguanas threaten Pacific islands
Feral goats and green iguanas wreaking havoc with the ecosystems in the small islands in the Pacific, biologists warn, in two separate studies published in Pacific Science last month, calling for control or elimination of these animals.
The animals have been introduced there by humans, but are now threatening the survival of native wildlife.
Feral goats rapidly deplete grazing lands, the first paper warns, while green iguanas threaten the local horticultural industry, according to the second study. Iguanas also reportedly cause car accidents when they cross roads and motorists try to avoid them, it adds.
Mark Chynoweth, a natural resource science manager at the University of Hawaii at Manoa and an author of the goat study, says that the population of feral goats on Pacific islands "poses a significant threat to the native flora and fauna, and is a critical barrier to conservation and habitat restoration".
"Non-native goats threaten native species through direct impacts — grazing — and indirect impacts, such as destruction of habitat," he adds.
The study recommends that the goats be removed from some of the vulnerable ecosystems in the Pacific.
Meanwhile, Wilfredo Falcón, a graduate student of the University of Puerto Rico and lead author of the second study, says that green iguanas have been imported to Pacific islands — both legally and illegally — from the Americas as exotic pets since the 1950s.
But because of the lack of natural predators on the islands and the iguanas' high reproduction rate, their population has risen dramatically and they are now expanding their range and displacing local species, particularly in Fiji. Eradication can be difficult because of their camouflage.
"It is important for people to understand that exotic species may have negative impacts if they become established outside their native range," Falcón tells SciDev.Net. "Moreover, sometimes they can grow to unmanageable sizes — up to two feet in length — and they may become hard to deal with."
Randolph Thaman, a professor at the University of the South Pacific in Fiji, says: "Both goats and green iguanas clearly constitute serious threats to small islands and their fragile native and cultural biodiversity and ecosystems, with goats having historically proven to be particularly disastrous".
He suggests that management efforts for both species should focus on preventing them from spreading, especially to smaller uninhabited islands with indigenous local iguana populations and threatened island ecosystems that have highly endemic plants and animal communities.

So I was thinking about switching the bunnies to a non pelleted diet, which means I would only feed them hay and veggies. Can anyone give me any pointers on how to do this and how much veggies I would actually need to feed daily? Oh and how much variety? I feed 4 different kinds of veggies now, but usually switch out one a week.
Is it healthier to have a bunny on a non pelleted diet? Less expensive/more expensive/about the same?
I have two bunnies so I would need to buy a whole lot of veggies I bet!

I would do 1/4 cup and don't buy a big bag, it will take you forever to go through that if you are feeding them the right amount of pellets. I think 1/4 cup each is more than plenty - you want to encourage them eating hay after all.
Yeah I don't think I need the big bag but I am inquiring about it anyways just in case. After I reduce to 1/4 cup could I reduce even lower to something so they will eat more hay?
