miǫtvið mœran fyr mold neðan.
Sometimes it frightens me, the things that spring forth unbidden from my slightly misshapen cranium.
mloc which ➨ ðroc wait, where did this come from?
I shall digress here for now, because it's going to take me a while to add these all to the lexicon.


Here's a question for you: Who succeeded Clint Hurdle as the hitting coach after the 2010 World Series season? If you guessed Thad Bosley, you were correct, but why are you reading his name today?
Since the Rangers just played the Tampa Bay Rays in St. Petersburg, Florida, a whole bunch of thoughts went running through my baseball brain. From Cliff Lee's dominance to Nelson Cruz' boomstick blasts to Michael Young's controversial check-swing to playoff series winning champagne/beer clubhouse showers making for radio fun, there's plenty of pleasant Rangers memories from St. Pete.
Let's go from those happy thoughts to late May of the 2011 World Series season when the Rangers visited the Rays. I was in my second season as the radio pregame/postgame show role. I had added the play-by-play/color commentating responsibility for that series, though, and that's why I was on the road for that series. The Rangers had just shifted John Rhadigan back to the studio, and Dave Barnett moved from the radio to the TV booth. Steve Busby and I joined Eric Nadel on radio for the rest of the season.
Anyway, my pregame role included the "Warm-up Show." That's the 4-minute pregame interview heard on the Rangers radio network pregame show just before the first pitch. For a pregame interview in that Rays series, I thought it would be appropriate to interview Johnny Narron—then the Rangers assistant hitting coach and who is currently the hitting coach for the Los Angeles Angels triple-A team in Salt Lake City, Utah.
In the off-season before that 2011 season, I read Josh Hamilton's book, "Beyond Belief," and I thought Tampa would be the right setting to talk to Johnny about Josh Hamilton and their longstanding relationship as well as Narron's impact on other Rangers hitters such as Mike Napoli. After all, that was "The Year of the Napoli" which was coined by then Rays manager Joe Maddon.
I went at The Trop early one game, and I waited out a conversation Johnny was having with hitting coach Thad Bosley and manager Ron Washington. Their deep talk on infielders took place on the visitor's bench on the third base side, and I sat at the end of the bench waiting out the conversation while eavesdropping to get an education on infielders mechanics.
When their talk concluded, I asked Johnny to join me for the interview. He had never joined me on the pregame show, and I was looking forward to hearing his stories.
However, he respectfully declined the offer because he felt that all hitting discussions should be with the hitting coach. He's such a nice guy, and I didn't want to press him into doing the interview. So, I turned the page as time was ticking closer to needing an interview. Just a few feet away was hitting coach Thad Bosley. I asked him to join me for the interview.
Then, it became awkward. Bosley had heard my exchange with Johnny—which I didn't think was a big deal. Even though I had wanted to talk about Hamilton, I shifted my mindset to "let's breakdown the lineup" before I asked him to join me for the pregame interview.
Bosley declined the interview! Honestly, I can only remember in my entire broadcasting career just a few times that pregame interview requests were turned down. It's a painless four minutes, but this became an uncomfortable exchange. It seemed like Bosley was offended that I had asked Johnny first. I thought he was just giving me a hard time and joking with me.
Unbeknownst to me, there were other team personnel that were listening to that exchange between Johnny, Bosley and me. I found that out in the next half hour to 45 minutes as I sought out an interviewee in the tunnel just outside the clubhouse and around the underground batting cage at The Trop. I encountered a bunch of Ranger players sporting wry smiles accompanied by sarcastic remarks about my recent dugout conversation.
It was then that I realized just how much friction existed between Bosley and the players. About a week later, the Rangers fired Bosley. Certainly, it was not because of the way he reacted about a pregame interview, but I wasn't surprised when the Rangers made that change.
Back to present day, will the Rangers continue to win games following their recent road trip? Or, will the thought of changing the hitting coach be the answer to the current Rangers problems?

The apart cards appear with anniversary fees alignment from $39 to $59, depending on acclaim history, and APRs ambit from 14.9% to 19.9%, additionally based on your credit.
To put that in perspective, a acclaim agenda like the Applied Coffer Apart Visa Gold — which additionally targets consumers with poor acclaim — comes with a 29.99% APR for all customers.
But alike if you alone authorize for a anchored Orchard Coffer card, it isn't a rotten deal. You accept to accomplish a $200 minimum aegis drop — which is refundable and archetypal for anchored cards — but the APR is a low 7.90% and the anniversary fee is $35 and is waived the aboriginal year.

Use your time during water breaks wisely. Checking cell phones during a break is not appropriate.
Students may not walk to Dunkin Donuts or other "snack" areas off the block without a partner and written permission from their parents. No food runs after dark, unless driving. We request that students wait inside or on the front sidewalk of the studio for parent pick up.
Know and observe the proper Dress Attire code. It will be strictly enforced!
COMPANY MEMBERS required classes must be taken at Talent Forum. Entrance into a company is by audition or invitation.
STUDENTS ON POINTE must take two ballet classes at Talent Forum. Select ballet classes offer a Pointe class immediately after. These classes work in conjunction with one another so you will be warmed up for Pointe class.
INTERMEDIATE AND ADVANCED jazz, contemporary, and/or lyrical students, that wish to advance a level or enroll in a specific teacher's class, may be required by that teacher to be currently enrolled in one of the fundamentals (ballet, lyrical or jazz technique) at Talent Forum. This requirement may affect an entire class or specific students and is intended to enhance the students' technique and dance development. Ballet is a requirement for all lyrical & contemporary classes and level 2/3 and up in all jazz styles.
PROPER DANCE ATTIRE IS ESSENTIAL TO RECEIVE THE FULL BENEFIT OF YOUR DANCE CLASS! Teachers and students must be able to see the full bodyline in order to apply corrections properly. Black leotards (or pink for younger students), either camisole, tank, cap or long sleeves and pink tights are required for all ballet classes. Black attire is required for all jazz, contemporary, and lyrical classes. If needed, all support bras must be black. Dance pants should be Capri length and form fitting to the knee. Tap requires pants to be Capri length to expose ankles and hip-hop attire is at the discretion of the teacher.
NO dance skirts, big shirts, baggy pants/shorts will be allowed in class, with the exception of hip hop. Body warmers are allowed if they conform to the body, and the teacher permits. The ankles of the dancer should be exposed for all dance disciplines!
MALE DANCERS: Proper dance clothes are recommended; however, a plain white or black tank, or tee shirt, and form fitting dance pants or sweatpants are acceptable.
SHOES: Pink ballet and pink pointe shoes are required for all ballet classes. Black shoes are required for all tap, and jazz classes. A clean supportive sneaker is required for hip-hop. Occasionally, the instructor may request a color preference to compliment the costume.
FOR YOUR CONVENIENCE: Approved dance wear and shoes may be purchased at Talent Forum. Leotards, tights, ballet shoes, tap shoes and jazz shoes are available. If you do purchase dance shoes elsewhere, please have the director or your teacher check the fit before you sew on any elastic. It is especially important that the ballet teacher check pointe shoes.
PARENTS DAY: We invite parents to observe classes three times during the season. The dates for this years Parent's Day are marked on the calendar included in this handbook. Teachers and students look forward to these special days.
Additional visits to the classrooms by parents, visitors or observers are by special permission from the teacher, and the director or office manager should be notified of these visits in advance.
A Parent Waiting Room is provided for those that need to stay at the studio while their child is in class. We ask that parents, siblings and other visitors confine their activities to this area so that classes are not disturbed. Additionally, we find that "split attention" occurs if parents, visitors or siblings hang outside the classroom doors.
Every effort will be made to notify you, via email, in advance of any closures due to inclement weather or any other unforeseen reason. We will also try to post information on this website. If it becomes necessary to cancel a class, due to weather or any other reason, the class will be rescheduled, if possible, and students will be notified in advance of the new date.

When Mike Rohrbach accepted his new position as Director of the Washington State Legislative Service Center (now called LEG-TECH) in 2015, he knew right away that he was going to need additional support to excel in his new position and to become a more effective leader.
Upon starting at the agency, Mike found that his team at LEG-TECH was disengaged from their customer base, and that they tended to work as individual satellites rather than collaborating to meet goals and solve problems.
He also discovered that though the department was generally well-received and respected by customers, internal procedures were not driven or measured by mutually agreed upon ideas of success and there was little to no personal accountability among team members.
As a result customers reported that they had good relationships with individual employees at LEG-TECH, but felt ignored by and disconnected from the organization as a whole.
A peer recommended Business Coaching and Consulting to Mike, and he contacted Tom in December of 2015 to request a free consultation. In their complimentary 30 minute introductory phone call, Tom engaged Mike by listening to his experiences and asking thoughtful questions about the agency and his own professional history.
Mike agreed to take the PXT Total-Person Assessment and to take part in follow-up evaluation with Tom. Mike's PXT Assessment clarified that was in the right role doing the right thing by following a path of leadership, but also illuminated his stretch-areas, or places where he could improve and grow. As a result Mike PXT gained more confidence in his entrepreneurial spirit and set immediate goals with Tom to strengthen his stretch-areas.
Mike had such a good experience with PXT that he opened it up to all of his agency leaders so they could better understand their ideal culture and job fit.
Working closely to set personal goals and leadership skills, Tom backed up Mike's instincts as a leader and encouraged him to make informed decisions with complete information. Of this process Mike said that "The clarity from engaging directly with my team drives my performance and helps me set clear goals with them." Tom encouraged Mike to go and get answers directly from his team when he needed them instead of waiting for reports on progress.
Mike and Tom now check in regularly on objectives in a 30 minute call each week.
It's an ongoing process, but Mike is transforming LEG-TECH into an effective, goal-driven agency under Tom's "Building Loyal Customers and Valued Team Members" approach.
Instead of guessing at customer expectations, Mike empowers his team at LEG-TECH to go out and gather clear, actionable feedback from their customers and to use this feedback to set project priorities and agency goals.
Using PXT assessments, Mike identified new leadership roles within his teams. These team leaders now manage projects and approach agency goals with structured accountability.
Tom also encouraged Mike to bring in additional talent to build awareness and recognition among his customer base. As a result LEG-TECH is emerging as a trusted asset of the Legislature, and public transparency and satisfaction rates have improved significantly.
The team at LEG-TECH is fully-engaged and working together to identify and achieve common goals. Finally they are building a real way to measure success.
Tom has been invaluable to me as a personal coach. In short, I am becoming a much more effective leader as a direct result of his coaching, advice and influence. By referring back to a basic set of leadership principles, Tom has kept me on the right track not only in my development as a leader but in how I am mentoring and developing other leaders in my agency.


This programme is open to graduates of all businesses courses. This means that you can pursue a professional accounting qualification even if you don't already have an undergraduate qualification in accountancy. The course is therefore the perfect solution for undergraduate students who only realise they want to go down the accountancy route in the middle of a more general business degree (like our Bachelor in Business Studies). Having students from various business backgrounds also makes for a diverse and dynamic learning environment and facilitates the deepening of business expertise.
At the same time, 50% of the course content revolves around innovative business modules like Data Analytics, Next Generation Management and an Applied Research Project (Practicum). This also enables graduates to pursue other business avenues upon completion. With a strong focus on the international context, the course is particularly valuable for those who wish to work overseas or in global enterprises in the future.
Graduates of this course gain exemptions from professional accounting bodies, such as the Association of Chartered Certified Accountants (ACCA) and Chartered Accountants Ireland. This means you are one step closer to becoming a fully qualified accountant upon graduation. The fact the course is well regarded by these institutes reflects the impeccable standards of both teaching and subject matter.
Different people learn in different ways. That's why we offer students on the MSc in International Accounting and Business programme the option to complete either a group Practicum project or an individual research Dissertation. Through the Practicum, students gain invaluable hands-on experience in a real business scenario, while the Dissertation is often preferable for those interested in a very specific area or who wish to embark on a career in academia.
The lecturers on the MSc in International Accounting and Business programme are really enthusiastic about launching the course in September 2019. Feedback from current students continually references their knowledge, professionalism, helpfulness and passion for the subject matter.
This course is also perfect for international students who want to complete a Masters programme in Ireland.

If you were recently injured in a New York construction accident, you may be wondering what steps you should take to secure compensation. While most manual laborers are entitled to workers' compensation benefits under the law, it is important to understand that you may also be eligible to file a civil lawsuit. Typically, accepting workers' compensation benefits would prohibit you from taking legal action against your employer—as they would be the ones providing you with insurance—but there are certain exceptions to this rule. It is also true that you would always have the right to pursue damages from a third party (i.e. someone other than your employer) if they had negligently contributed to your injuries. This could include a manufacturer who had supplied defective machinery, for example.
While most construction workers throughout the U.S. are strictly prohibited from suing their employer after an accident, even if they had negligently contributed to their worker's injuries, New York upholds labor laws that hold all contractors and property owners liable for their negligent conduct. These are known as New York Labor Laws 240 and 241. Under these laws, an injured construction worker would have the right to bring suit against a negligent contractor or property owner if they could prove that they were subjected to an unsafe work environment. Since it is not the workers' responsibility to ensure that their work environment is reasonably safe, they must only need to show that the accident could have been prevented if the liable party had adhered to mandatory safety regulations.
Even if the worker had contributed to their own injuries, these statutes impose strict liability. This means that the worker's award cannot be reduced by their own level of culpability—apart from an instance in which it has been determined that they are solely responsible. That being said, you should not hesitate to discuss your options with a New York construction accident attorney from Lurie, Ilchert, MacDonnell & Ryan LLP as soon as possible. While workers' compensation benefits will provide you with the bare necessities—including reimbursement for your medical treatment and a percentage of your lost earnings—you would be able to maximize your financial recovery if you could pursue a civil case.
Call our office today to find out if you are eligible.

Not many riders can give a thumbs up while dragging a knee, and even fewer can comfortably slide a motorcycle though a turn. Adding those two together? Well, that is a true test of rider skill.
Just to make sure it wasn't a fluke, Xaus was on-hand at the Ducati Hypermotard 950 launch to prove that the new street-supermoto still has links to its roots, and also that the Spanish rider can still ride circles around us mere mortals.
The rear-wheel slide ABS feature on the Ducati Hypermotard 950 may not have been a crowd favorite at the international press launch, but it is pretty hard to argue with Ruben that you can't make it work when you want to go slideways.
As an homage, we have 66 high-resolution photos of Ruben Xaus doing the deed on the new Ducati Hypermotard 950…and a video for good measure, as well. Enjoy!

WCS NEWS RELEASE
Leading International Conservation Organizations Send Letter on Climate Crisis to Biden-Harris White House
The Organizations: Conservation International, The Nature Conservancy, Wildlife Conservation Society, and World Wildlife Fund
Letter Emphasizes Additional Steps White House Needs to Take to Ensure Strong and Effective U.S. Plan to Stem the Climate Crisis
'We commend you for your commitment to addressing biodiversity loss and the global climate crisis. Our organizations look forward to working with you and your administration to address both of these challenges and ensure natural climate solutions are central to the U.S. response to climate change.'
NEW YORK , NY | May 04, 2021
The following letter was sent to President Biden on April 29, 2021, concerning the climate crisis. The letter was sent to the president from the heads at four of the leading conservation organizations: M. Sanjayan, , CEO, Conservation International; Jennifer Morris, Chief Executive Officer, The Nature Conservancy; Cristián Samper, President & CEO, Wildlife Conservation Society; Carter Roberts, President & CEO World Wildlife Fund.
The full letter is as follows:
Dear President Biden,
On behalf of our four organizations, we commend you for your leadership in convening last week's Leaders Summit on Climate and for making climate change and nature conservation top priorities of your administration. The climate crisis represents an existential threat to both people and nature. Your early actions to confront this crisis have begun to restore American leadership and will help drive international ambition at the speed and scale needed to meet the gravity of this challenge.
The International Conservation Partnership (ICP) is an informal coalition comprising Conservation International, The Nature Conservancy, Wildlife Conservation Society, and World Wildlife Fund. Each of our organizations is working on a global scale to protect and conserve the future of nature and the benefits it provides to people.
The next decade is critical for the trajectory of our planet. We need reinvigorated U.S. global leadership and action to address a set of pressing and intertwined challenges—the crisis of global biodiversity and nature loss, the global climate crisis, and the global health and economic crisis we are struggling through due to the COVID-19 pandemic. All of these crises are rooted in humanity's broken relationship with nature. Only by taking urgent and comprehensive steps to fix that relationship can we set ourselves on a more sustainable path for both people and the planet—and we need the U.S. to help lead the way. Over the course of 2021, the international community will be setting commitments for the coming decade on collective action to halt biodiversity loss and confront climate change. U.S. leadership will be critical to ensuring those commitments reflect the ambitious actions that the science requires.
We thank you for taking immediate and bold actions to restore U.S. leadership on efforts to address climate change both at home and internationally including:
Committing to an ambitious Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC) of reducing greenhouse gas emissions by at least 50% below 2005 levels by 2030 and putting the U.S. on track to achieve net-zero emissions no later than 2050;
Announcing the first U.S. International Climate Finance Plan;
Pledging to catalyze $1 billion globally in public-private partnerships for emissions reductions from tropical and sub-tropical forests through the Lowering Emissions by Accelerating Forest finance (LEAF) Coalition, and committing to a dialogue with stakeholders; and
Working to establish a "30x30" process for the U.S. government to conserve 30 percent of U.S. lands and waters by 2030;
At the same time, we recognize that more needs to be done. As we approach the 26th Conference of the Parties of the U.N. Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) and the 15th meeting of the Conference of the Parties of the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD), we respectfully urge you to redouble U.S. efforts to address the global biodiversity crisis alongside and as part of your leadership in tackling climate change. The two are intertwined, and nature-based solutions (NBS) to climate change, also known as natural climate solutions (NCS), need to be a central component of the response to climate change in the U.S. and globally.
Recent studies show that nature-based solutions within agriculture, forest, coastal and other land use sectors can provide up to one-third of the action needed by 2030 to keep global temperature rise below 2°C. However, the current global investment in NBS and NCS represents no more than 8% of all climate change and development assistance. These solutions protect landscapes and seascapes vital for both biodiversity and carbon storage while also reducing community vulnerability to new and worsening threats of climate change. In particular, intact forests—forests with high ecological integrity—play a crucial role in mitigating climate change as well as protecting biodiversity, water supply and protecting the rights of Indigenous Peoples.
We therefore recommend your administration take the following actions:
Use all efforts to implement the ambitious U.S. NDC announced on Earth Day and continue to encourage other countries to increase their ambition as well;
Announce a commitment to double U.S. investments in global biodiversity conservation over the next four years and work with other nations to protect and restore natural systems including intact forests, coral reefs, grasslands, wetlands, and other carbon-rich landscapes and seascapes;
Build upon your "30x30" commitment with a global pledge to lead similar commitments by other countries in a way that respects the rights of local communities and Indigenous Peoples, as well as efforts to end deforestation, forest degradation, and habitat conversion. In addition to increasing support to global conservation programs, the U.S. can also lead by strengthening its efforts to halt the illegal timber trade and address the drivers of forest and habitat loss;
Sign the Leader's Pledge for Nature and join the High Ambition Coalition for People and Nature. The U.S. government should prioritize the upcoming UNFCCC and CBD Conferences of the Parties in 2021 to push for ambitious, science-driven global action to safeguard nature, including linkages to strategic U.S. economic and security interests;
Ensure that investments in NBS and NCS, guided by high quality science-based targets, make up a significant portion of international climate finance commitments announced by the U.S., and begin a larger effort with donor countries and financial institutions to ensure robust funding is available to implement these solutions, including through new commitments; and
Ensure that international financing for economic recovery, development, and infrastructure is directed towards nature-positive investments versus those that risk doing environmental harm.
We commend you for your commitment to addressing biodiversity loss and the global climate crisis. Our organizations look forward to working with you and your administration to address both of these challenges and ensure natural climate solutions are central to the U.S. response to climate change.

With all the responsibility that comes with operating a new business, it's sometimes easy to overlook one of the most important things—the name. Your business name is a crucial part of your brand and it should adequately convey meaning and a clear understanding of what your business can do.
Considering the fact that you are essentially married to your business name, it's shocking how low picking a name can be on many to-do lists. Your business name will be your customer's first impression, every time, for the foreseeable future. Let that sink in.
At every investor meeting, every sales pitch, and literally every time you talk about your company, your name will be the first thing people hear. It needs to elicit more than a lukewarm reaction, it needs to evoke curiosity and intrigue, and effectively communicate your value to everyone who hears this name.
Here are a few things to keep in mind when coming up with possible names for your business.
To whom are you going to be advertising? Are you a B2B or B2C company? The methods of discovery as well as the type of advertising required will differ based on who you are targeting and what your product or service is.
Use short phrases that are easy to remember. Excessively long and complicated names may be hard for your customers to remember, spell or pronounce, making it harder to locate. Finally, keep in mind the acronym for your business and other businesses with which it may get confused.
While large companies can get away with having a name with no real meaning relating to their products or services (Apple, for instance), a startup would need to convey some meaning with their name that potential customers can relate to.
To find the perfect business name (and domain name), brainstorm and create a list of words you like using synonyms and translations. Check if the domain name is available. Do not be tempted to use alternative spelling, as this will only make it harder for people to find you on the internet.
Try to avoid picking a name that is too obscure, or too specific. A vague, obscure name will most likely not leave a lasting impression on people, while a name that's too specific could limit your prospects in the future, in case you decide to expand into other niches.
Before settling on a name, it's always a good idea to view it from all sides to make sure you haven't overlooked anything. Say it out loud and make sure it's easy to say and sounds good. Finally, ask others to help you. Share your top name choices with a few people, and ask them for their input. Find out not only which names they like but also why they like certain names over others for your particular business.
What are some business names that you're a fan of? If you have a business name, how did you pick it?

Tiny acquires Meteor
Frederic Lardinois	@fredericl / 2 years
Canadian technology holding company Tiny, home to companies like Dribble, Flow and Unicorn Hunt, today announced that it has acquired Meteor, the JavaScript-centric open-source app platform.
Meteor launched back in 2011, and, while it was a developer darling for a while, its momentum stalled a bit in recent years as other technologies rose to the forefront.
Meteor promises developers that they can build their applications' front- and back-ends as JavaScript apps and also offers Galaxy, a turnkey hosting service for these apps.
Meteor founder Geoff Schmidt will continue to focus on Apollo GraphQL, a platform for making GraphQL run at scale.
"We found ourselves in an interesting situation where we had two great products, Apollo and Meteor, living under the same roof," Schmidt told me. "Apollo started growing so quickly that the right thing always seemed to put our incremental hours or dollars toward Apollo. So over time it became clear that they needed to be under different roofs so that Meteor wouldn't get starved for resources and would have the room it needed to grow."
Tiny promises that it will continue to invest in Meteor, Galaxy and their developer communities. Tiny and Apollo also say they'll work closely during the transition and "pair their deep knowledge of the platform with Tiny's ambitious plans."
What exactly that'll look like remains to be seen, of course, but Tiny has a relatively good track record of keeping afloat the companies it acquires. Schmidt also notes that users shouldn't expect any major changes to Meteor or Galaxy in the near future.
"We talked to a lot of more conventional acquirers but ended up working with Tiny because of their strong values in design and community," Schmidt explained. "At the core, I think Meteor is about developer experience, community and empowering people to do things that they thought were out of their reach. Tiny is the group that we think is best equipped to carry that mission forward."


Metal Detecting... gold, coins, jewelry, relics. Prospecting... panning, sluicing, highbanking. Fishing.
Rick, It was great to meet up with you again, it has been a year since our last hunt. When Ken told me that you were headed back to R-P, I was smiling from ear to ear. Hunting gold with the two of you is about as good as it gets for me. Always grateful for the advice and that pointy finger of yours.
What an impressive display of craftsmanship, great combination.......well done!!! From Webster's Dictionary: sym'me.try 1. Now Rare. Due or balanced proportions; beauty of form arising from such harmony. That is one lucky granddaughter, thanks to you and her grandfather.
Where Do You Find Most Of Your Rings?
Glenn, Thanks for posting the pics from the Denver Gem and Mineral Show. I have a story to tell about one of the pictures that you posted. It is about the wire gold specimen in photo #41. I am not absolutely sure this is the specimen but based on it's uniqueness and the area where it was found, I am fairly sure it is the one. If this is indeed that specimen, it was dug by my first nugget hunting mentor and his two detecting partners nearly 20 years ago. My friend and mentor, Ken, and his partners Larry and Jim had been granted permission to detect on Farncomb Hill, near Breckenridge. They had a great number of finds over a span of several years. As one might expect, they were very secretive about the location due to the success that they had. I did not know Ken at the time that he and his partners had found the specimen that they named "The Birds Nest". Ken told me the story in 2003, I had joined a local prospecting club, The Gold Prospectors of the Rockies. Ken was on their board of directors and one of the first people that I met ( I am the current vice president of the club ). Ken is living outside the US now, but does come back to visit family every few years. The last time he was in Denver, he offered to show me the place where he and his partners found their gold, so I picked him up at his daughters home and off to Breckenridge we went. The area is under claim and closed to prospecting, but were aware of that before hand.We walked the ground that had surrendered some of it's golden treasure. The area was given a name back in the 1800's, and based on photo #41, I would say they hit it right on the head. It is called "The Wire Patch". You may be surprised to know that they sold "The Birds Nest" not long after they discovered it !!! Again, thanks for posting I hope that our fellow forum members enjoy the story about this amazing Colorado gold specimen.
Rye Patch Sweat ( Sweet ) Hunt!
Like New White's Bigfoot Coil Only $525!
Steve, Based on his post ( Jan. 8 ), this one has Deft Tones name written all over it !!!
Keith, I am deeply saddened to hear about Smokey. I know that you and Smokey were good friends, I am sorry for your loss. I had a great phone conversation with him last December. He sounded good and was very upbeat at the time. He told me that he had been working on a new poem, he read it to me. He told me that he would make a copy for me, and that he would give it to me in the spring when I returned to Lovelock. I have plans to be in Lovelock in a couple of weeks, so near, yet so far. This must be tough for Smokey's life long friend Don. The detecting adventures those two shared would make one heck of a book! I always looked forward to hearing about their exploits in gold country. Whether it was over breakfast at the C'Poke, or during dinner at the casino. Their stories always inspired me to get out there and find the gold. Speaking of dinner at the casino, I will always remember having dinner with you, Smokey, and my friend Ken. That was Easter Sunday 2015, entertaining and very educational! During the last six years, I have had the great good luck to learn from some very talented, generous, and even legendary detectorists. People who will teach you how to find gold, then take you to some of their favorite spots to find it!! During my last trip to Nevada, I was having a tough time. I just could not get my coil over a piece of gold. Several days had passed, and by the end of that day, I was tired and more frustrated than I would care to admit. My friend Bob and I met Smokey and Don for dinner that evening. As always, it was great to hear about their good times and amazing gold they found. I didn't realize it at the time, but Smokey could tell that I was still a bit frustrated. As things wound down for the evening, Don and Bob headed for the door. I was about to get up, when Smokey stopped me. He looked me straight in the eyes, and almost as if he was apologizing, told me that if he only felt better, that he would take me out to a couple of his spots the next day!! I hoped that one day, I would get to take Smokey up on his offer. It would have been, a truly great adventure to spend even part of a day with him, in his country. I would not have cared much at all about finding a nugget on that particular day. Just being there with Smokey, would have been.................Golden!!!!!!!
GB_Amateur, Wow!!! , small world!!! My business ( machine shop ) is located at 72nd and Lowell, which is about a mile west of Samuel Dr. . I was a member of the Eureka club for one year, I think that was in 2007. Great club, with some very skilled detectorists. The problem for me was, they have their meetings on Friday night. My wife and I have a cabin about 100 miles from our home. We like to leave home on Friday afternoon, when we go to the cabin for the weekend. So I missed a lot of Eureka club meetings, that is why I dropped out after one year. You probably remember that old line about Colorado weather, "if you don't like the weather, just wait a day, it will change" Speaking of the weather, folks. I mentioned that 62 degree Friday that I let get away in my prior post. I " waited a day" and by mid-day on Sunday it was 48 degrees. I grabbed the DFX/Bigfoot and headed to a local school, that happens to have some fairly steep south facing slopes. Got about 2 1/2 hours of detecting time before the sun started to set and my fingers started to tingle. I decided to call it a day, and just hunt my way back to the truck. I was about half way to the truck, but couldn't ignore a tot lot with two swing sets and wood chips ( I like wood chips ! ). Figured I would give it a quick pass, got a symphony of broken tones and a smear of bars on the meter. I brushed away an inch of loose stuff, but the next couple of inches was frozen solid. I broke a 10 inch piece free and pushed it away with my foot. The exposed wood chips were loose, dry, and laced with coins. It must have taken 15 minutes to get them all. I put them in my pocket to keep them separated from the coins in my pouch, and headed for my truck. The pouch, 50 coins ( one 1952 D wheat penny ), 1 ( kids ) necklace, 2 ( kids ) tokens. The pocket, 41 coins ( none of them notable but still fun ). Oh, and the weather. At 11:00 pm, it is 6 degrees and falling, 8 to 12 inches of snow by morning, with a daytime high of 8 degrees. Good news is, 60 degrees on Monday, bad news is, the ground will be covered with snow.

During the last decade DLF Trifolium (now DLF) have made several strategic acquisitions of companies across the continents. Because of this they are placed in a global, dominating position on the grass seed market. The board of directors had a strong wish to unify their entire market operations into one global unit operating under universal guidelines. But how do you get different brands to accept a new name and identity when they've always operated independently.
Our insight told us that every part of the business has to move in order to make a successful acquisition; just annexing brands was not a valid option. Thus a new name, logo and an internal launch campaign was created and with the new brand promise "Count on Growth" the new DLF brand arose. By interviewing the corporate management and conducting among customers we were able to identify the core values of the new brand. As a result the internal corporate community was strengthened significantly and the customers experienced a more seamless transition between the different business units.

If Shah Rukh Khan Is a "Pak Jehadi Agent" Then Who Is Patriotic Muslim?
Many extreme forces in India have come together against the Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan. The reason behind their opposition to Shah Rukh is said to be his advocacy for Pakistani players' participation in the Indian Premier League (IPL), though neither he has taken any Pakistani player in his team-Kolkata Knight Riders nor he has said any such thing which tantamount to the sympathy towards Pakistan. On the very next day of Shahrukh's statement about the Pakistani players, the Home Minister of India Mr. P. Chidambaram assured the security of foreign players including Pakistani players. But no extremist leader or organisation dared to object Chidambaram, instead they opted to attack the soft target i.e. Shah Rukh Khan. Narrow minded politicians themselves want to become popular by way of opposing a famous personality.
The so-called 'nationalist leaders' who are nowadays criticising Shahrukh Khan include the leaders of the Shiv Sena, Rashtriya swayam sewak sangh (RSS) sister organisations like Vishwa Hindu Parishad (VHP) & Bajrang Dal, and the Sri Ram Sena chief Pramod Muthalik, and along with them the yoga guru Baba Ramdev. Some among these have threatened SRK that they will burn him alive and also. They are also asking Shahrukh to leave Mumbai and shift to Karachi. Let us have a look at the family background of that Shahrukh Khan against whom such insulting vocabulary is being used.
Shahrukh Khan was born in a Pathan family in Delhi in 1965. His father Taj Mohammad was a freedom fighter who struggled for the independence of the country. Since he didn't want to see the partition of the country, so in 1947 he came to India from Peshawar even before independence. Shahrukh's mother Latif Fatima was the adopted daughter of Major General Shahnawaz Khan. Gen. Shahnawaz Khan needs no introduction. He was the major General in the Azad Hind Fauj of Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose. At the time of independence Country shouts slogans of these Generals, like- Dhillon,Sehgal, Shahnawaz-Zindabad Zindabad. Shahrukh's mother's family also came to India from Rawalpindi. One can imagine the love of above families for their nation as these Muslim families migrated to India at that time when millions of Muslims were compelled to leave India and millions of Hindus were compelled to migrate from Pakistan to India.
Shahrukh Khan lived in Rajendra Nagar area of Delhi and completed his schooling from St. Columbus School. He pursued higher education from Hansraj College and Jamia Millia Islamia University. After the demise of his parents, he went to Mumbai in 1991. The same year he married a Kashmiri Munjal Brahmin girl Gauri Chhibbar. The marriage was concluded according to the Hindu customs and rituals. Now, Shahrukh Khan has two children- Aryan and Suhana. His home can be called the home of a true secular nationalist Muslim. All holy books- Quran, Gita, Bible etc. are there in his home and he studies these from time to time. He has been given many national and international honours and awards. In 2005, he was given India's fourth biggest civilian honour- Padmashri. In April 2007, his wax statue was installed in the famous Madame Tussauds Museum in London. The same year, a similar statue was installed in another famous museum of Paris. In October 2008, he was awarded 'Datuk', the highest honour of Malaysia. In 2009, he was honoured with the doctorate degree by Bedfordshire University of Britain. Many books have been published on the personality of Shahrukh Khan.
Above introduction is of that person who had played in the lap of Gen. Shahnawaz Khan and heard numerous stories of patriotism from him. Let us also pay obituary to Gen. Shahnawaz Khan through this article. I am fortunate enough to serve Gen. Khan. In 1979, he went to Allahabad for a political programme and stayed at Prayag Hotel there. That time I was deputed there in his service. I saw very closely there that Gen. Being a patriotic nationalist Khan regularly used to observe namaz five times a day. He was a great roll model for a true patriotic Muslim. He was the son of Captain Tikka Khan and got commissioned in the Indian National Army from the Royal Indian Military Academy, Dehradun. He was inspired by Subhash Chandra Bose. He was also the head of the committee setup in 1956 to enquire into the death of Subhash Chandra Bose.
Can Shahrukh's views be similar to that of 'Pakistani Jehadis'? Is it justified to give him such titles? What can be its impact on the conscience of other patriotic, liberal and secular Indians? Can these so called self-styled nationalists compare their family backgrounds with that of SRK's? Today Shahrukh is being asked to apologise to a separatist leader Bal Thackeray whereas many prominent people including the Home Minister have clearly said that sports should not be linked with politics. Prominent Indian journalist Alok Mehta even has said that Bal Thackrey is a mafia don and he must be hanged. Even Smita Thackray, the daughter-in-law of Bal Thackray is supporting Shahrukh. Former Chief Minister of Maharashtra Narayan Rane, an old colleague of Thackeray has even said that Bal Thackeray is doing all this to get money. But nobody is being criticised. Why only Shahrukh Khan is being targeted.
On the anniversary of 26/11 in a programme at India gate in Delhi, Shahrukh Khan expressed concern that why people ask for his views on terrorism. He further said that there can be no two thoughts on terrorism. But perhaps it is being asked from him because he is a Muslim. Is today's attack on Shahrukh Khan proving his concern right? If it is so, then it is very dangerous for the unity and integrity of the country. While Shahrukh Khan is regarded as a role model for the progressive and liberal Muslims of the country, on the other side he 'honoured' with the title of 'Pakistani Jehadi agent'. Today, among the global fans of Shahrukh Khan, more are from the non-Muslim communities. Despite this, what is the rationale behind unnecessarily degrading him? This is a failed attempt to polarise the Hindus against him. Whoever is trying to this is very unfortunate and dangerous for our composite culture and secularism. Only people can teach lesson to such forces. Perhaps, the poet has said for people like Shahrukh- Zahide tang nazar ne mujhe kafir jaana, aur kafir yeh samajhta hai Musalmaan hoon main. (A narrow minded muslim cleric says that i'm a non believer as nonbeliever says that i'm a Muslim).

Kobach says he's talked to President Trump but won't discuss details
Friday, November 30, 2018 3:22 PM EST
TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) -
Kansas Secretary of State Kris Kobach says he has talked to President Donald Trump by phone since losing the governor's race but is declining to provide further details.
Kobach told reporters Friday that he's not "out looking for random federal jobs" but said if Trump offered him a position, "That's a different matter."
Fellow Republicans in Kansas have speculated since the election that Kobach could receive a high-profile job in Trump's administration. Kobach lost the governor's race to Democratic state Sen. Laura Kelly.
Kobach built a national profile as an advocate of tough immigration and voter identification policies before informally advising Trump during his 2016 presidential campaign and afterward. Kobach also served as vice chairman of a short-lived presidential commission on voter fraud.
