He was not detained because of the incident and explained to officials that he did not know how the pipe got into his luggage. The paraphernalia was confiscated. STRINGALONG WEEKEND
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
November 5-7, 2004 East Troy, WI http://www.uwm.edu/Dept/Folk/fall.htm
800-636-FOLK Do your musical skills need a little stimulation, or are you a
complete musical novice ready to add a new hobby? Do you enjoy concerts and jams, stories, like to sing, dance, craft, play music with others but have trouble making contacts? Do you get an urge to toss out your TV and soak in the quiet beauty of the woods and the lake? (I sure do) Then the Stringalongs are for you.
The Stringalong Weekends are nationally recognized vacation retreats featuring concerts and classes in American folk, world and popular music, how to play acoustic instruments, singing, dancing, playing in a band, instrument building, environmental and nature education, storytelling and folklore, folk crafts, informal jamming and a relaxing time on a beautiful lake in southeastern Wisconsin. Sounds like heaven.
FLFLHTC: When I first found this festival I thought it had
something to do with string cheese. Oh well it looks good anyway. Prevent
your fireplace from smoking, raise the fire grate by placing
bricks under the legs. The most effective type of aerating is with a gas-powered machine called a core aerator that pulls out small cores (or plugs) of grass and soil. Other aerators use short spikes to punch holes in the turf. Spiking isn't nearly as effective as core aerating, but it's better than nothing. You can find aerators at your local tool-rental center.
When you aerate, strive for an even 3- to 4-inch spacing between holes throughout the lawn. To do so, you must make two passes in different directions. Make sure that the soil is slightly moist — not too wet or too dry. Set the aerator to pull out cores that are about 3 inches long, which end up all over the lawn. Rake up the cores if they bother you; however, if you leave them, the cores break down quickly and the nutrients
return to the lawn. After aerating, water and fertilize the lawn.

Bail conditions perplex two NHL prospects
After being arrested at a nightclub, pair ordered to stay away from Hells Angels By GAY ABBATE AND JEFF GRAY UPDATED AT 7:49 PM EDT Tuesday, Aug 31, 2004 Two Canadian-born National Hockey League prospects have been ordered to stay away from the Hells Angels motorcycle gang as a condition of getting out of jail.
Defencemen Trevor Daley, 20, of the Dallas Stars, and Luke Sellars, 23, of the Atlanta Thrashers, appeared perplexed as the condition was imposed at their bail hearing yesterday. The two were arrested early Sunday morning and charged with uttering death threats against a nightclub bouncer.
They were released yesterday after paying $3,000 in cash each. They will be back in court Sept. 17.
Crown prosecutor Edward Stimec requested the bail provision but did not elaborate on why it was necessary.
Justice of the Peace Shailesh Dudani agreed to it without asking for an explanation.
Lawyer Daniel Kirby, who appeared on behalf of both players, was as surprised by the bail condition as his clients. He did not ask for a reason for the imposition but simply told the court: "My clients don't know any members of the Hells Angels."
Outside court, Mr. Kirby said the reference to the biker gang must have been a "reference to some guy who was near there" at the time of the alleged incident at the Money nightclub.
LAND O'LAKES - Nude bodies are plentiful in Las Vegas, but the nudity Joe Lettelleir wants to bring to Sin City isn't the sort you'd have to hide from your spouse.
Owner of Paradise Lakes nudist resort, one of Pasco County's biggest tourist draws, Lettelleir plans to build a condominium and RV resort about 20 minutes from the Las Vegas Strip.
Lettelleir has signed a contract to buy 10 acres on which he'll install a multimillion-dollar resort with "nothing less than 100 units," a swimming pool and clubhouse.
Since he bought Paradise Lakes in 1999, Lettelleir, whose background is real estate, has set the business on an aggressive course of expansion.
Paradise is a giant in the nudism industry. Its 6,000 members and tens of thousands of annual visitors make it a brand name to reckon with nationally.
In 2003, Lettelleir bought Hidden Valley, a 25-year-old nudist compound 30 miles north of Atlanta. He upgraded the plumbing and pools, and rechristened the resort Paradise Valley.
Other resorts are planned, one each in California, Texas and the upper Midwest. "We'd like to have five or six of these places across the country branded," Lettelleir said of his plans after leaving Las Vegas.
Vegas made sense for Paradise. The city's warm sunny climate lends itself to disrobing. Members can be pulled from among millions of visitors to the casino gambling mecca.
Though gambling won't be allowed on premises, Paradise plans to outfit the resort with amenities popularized in Pasco: a heated elongated hot tub called a "conversation pool," a brisk bar scene and plenty of recreation.
Said Lettelleir: "Right now we've got "Pair-a-Dice.' "
New Edmonton home for Angels
Locals, councillor question new clubhouse By DOUG BEAZLEY -- Sun Media EDMONTON -- Meet the neighbours, north Edmonton. And try not to panic. Two years after losing their last city hangout, the Hells Angels have a new place to park their hogs - a nondescript, single-storey concrete block on the edge of a light-industrial district at the corner of 142 Street and 118 Avenue.
The Edmonton Sun paid the place a visit yesterday. We weren't invited in.
"Take all the pictures of the outside you want," said the grinning, bearded biker who answered the door. All the windows were papered over, and a sign proclaimed the premises "members-only."
"But I'm not gonna answer any damn questions."
City coun. Allan Bolstad represents the district. He said he'd be checking with city bureaucrats and police first thing tomorrow to see if the club has all the necessary permits.
"Because if they don't, I want them out of there," he said. "I wasn't overjoyed to hear about this. Wherever the Angels go, they bring all sorts of criminal activity with them.
