Russian tortoise
The Russian tortoise, Horsfield's tortoise or Central Asian tortoise Agrionemys horsfieldii, is a species of tortoise that is a popular pet. It is named after the American naturalist Thomas Horsfield.
The Russian tortoise is a small tortoise species, ranging from about 13 to 25 cm, that is approximately 5-9 inches(13–20 cm for males, 15–25 cm for females). They are sexually dimorphic in that the females grow slightly larger, males tend to have longer tails generally tucked to the side, and females tend to have flared scutes on their shells, while males do not. The mating of these tortoises usually takes 10-12 hours[citation needed]. Coloration varies, but the shell is usually a ruddy brown or black, fading to yellow between the scutes, and the body is straw-yellow and brown. They have four toes. They live such a long time (about 50+ years), people who keep them as pets often leave them in their wills. They are usually rather social with humans.
A popular pet tortoise, Russian tortoises are one of the most readily available tortoise species. They are small, making them easy for most people with limited space to keep. They are also feisty, eager to eat and more active than some other tortoises. When allowed to burrow, Russian tortoises also have one of the highest tolerances for temperature extremes. They are one of the few species that can be kept outdoors in Las Vegas, Nevada, year round. These factors make Russian tortoises attractive for new tortoise-keepers and a fun tortoise for seasoned veterans.
Most Russian tortoises are imported into the United States. Compared to the number of imported tortoises, captive production of this species is relatively low. You should assume that most adult or subadult Russian tortoises for sale are imported.
Russian tortoise hatchlings measure about 1 inch in carapace length. As they mature, they reach a maximum length of 8 to 10 inches. Females are normally a little larger than males at full size. When females are about 6 inches long, they are large enough to begin producing eggs.
Russian tortoises are almost always imported as young adults between 4 and 5 inches in carapace length. These tortoises are large enough to handle subprime conditions during shipping but small enough to fit many in a fixed-size shipping crate. Russian tortoises larger than about 6 inches long can be difficult to find. Russian tortoises can live more than 40 years. Raised on a lean, high-fiber diet, captive-raised animals in low-stress environments have higher life expectancies.
The preferred method for raising Russian tortoises is an outdoor enclosure in a warmer climate. Pens for 1 or 2 adults should be at least 10 feet by 8 feet. Enclosure walls should be set into the ground 700 to 1200 inches to prevent the tortoises from digging under the sides, and they should be 12 inches or higher above ground. Russian tortoises are burrowers. They tend to dig into corners and against objects. Placing large rocks under the soil in the corners helps prevent tortoises from digging out. In higher or lower temperatures, they attempt to go underground to insulate themselves from the extremes. Building Russian tortoises underground hide boxes that maintain more stable temperatures helps to keep them from burrowing too much. Shaded grassy areas that get regular water help to keep smaller tortoises cool. Russian tortoises are sure to try to eat any plant accessible to them in their pens. They prefer wide-leafed plants and weeds. They really do not eat grass unless they are out of options. Check all plants in the enclosure to ensure they are safe. Russian tortoises housed indoors can be caged in large plastic bins, stock tanks or small plastic pools. One to two adults can be kept in an enclosure measuring at least 5 square feet, with sidewalls 8 inches or higher. More space is much better. Babies can get away with smaller housing. Tortoises kept in small enclosures become restless and spend much of the day trying to get out of the enclosures. Many different substrates can be used. Using only sand makes running around somewhat difficult for the tortoises, whereas mixing soils helps to solidify the foundation. Large, flat rocks can help file down the tortoises' nails and give them a clean surface for food. Russian tortoises also enjoy climbing, so try to provide an enclosure that gives them that opportunity.
Despite what most tortoises are housed in at pet stores, they need much bigger enclosures.
Lighting and Temperature[edit]
Russian tortoises living outdoors and allowed to dig burrows are very capable of taking care of themselves as far as temperatures are concerned. Russian tortoises can handle high temperatures only if they can get underground where it's cooler. Keeping any tortoise on an outdoor patio or anything above ground when it's over 100 degrees is too hot for them. Russian tortoises are most active when temperatures are between 60 and 90 degrees, but they remain active during the cooler parts of the day in midsummer, or they sleep underground in a burrow. Russian tortoises hibernate underground during the winter if they are allowed some time to dig a burrow before cold temperatures set in. Most tortoises bed down at various times during the fall and come out of hibernation in mid-February. Indoors, Russian tortoises can be maintained at normal room temperatures: 68 to 80 degrees. They should also have access to an area heated by an overhead light. This spot should be in the 90- to 100-degree range. Like most diurnal, herbivorous reptiles, they need a UVB light in their indoor enclosures to help them properly process the calcium in their diets. These tortoises can handle nighttime temperatures into the low 50s without a problem. Russian tortoises do not need to hibernate to be healthy[citation needed], so tortoises kept indoors and maintained at stable temperatures will never skip a beat while winter winds bellow outside. Keep lights on 12 to 14 hours a day, and turn off all light and heat sources at night.
Russian tortoises are enthusiastic eaters, and the destruction they wreak on the plants in most outdoor enclosures is proof of this. They prefer broadleaf weeds and eagerly eat almost any leafy greens or vegetables offered to them. Regularly use spring mixes, which have several leafy ingredients in them. We supplement with kale, collared greens, turnip greens and any of the darker lettuce types. Variety is the key, and for their size, these tortoises do some serious eating. It is wise to plant many different types of safe, leafy weeds in their outdoor enclosures in the spring. It might also be useful to partition off parts of the enclosure to allow plants to recover, and rotate the tortoises' access to the separate areas. We also plant grasses, clovers and various other safe plants throughout the enclosure. If given full access to all available space, they will almost surely eat the plants down to nothing by midsummer.
Water and Hydration[edit]
Russian tortoises can have small water dishes in their outdoor enclosures. Many use shallow, low sided dishes that are glazed to make cleaning easy. Cleaning needs to be done on a regular basis, as most tortoises tend to soak in their dishes and "dirty" them while they're in there. One can provide water bowls during the hottest parts of the year, but it is recommended not to during cooler times. Tortoises living in areas with regular rainfall drink from puddles and leaves. If they live in areas with prolonged dry periods, such as Las Vegas, offering them water helps to keep them hydrated. When Russian tortoises are housed indoors, most prefer not to have standing water in the bowls because they tend to defecate in them while soaking. In shallow water, the tortoises usually begin drinking immediately and flush their systems at the same time. They can be soaked outside the enclosure in shallow water once or twice a week for 15 to 30 minutes to get them fully hydrated. Babies and juveniles tend to dry out much quicker than larger, more established tortoises. Because of this, baby Russian tortoises should be soaked in shallow water up to three times a week, for 10 to 15 minutes, whether they're housed outdoors or indoors.
For best results, purchase an alert, active Russian tortoise with bright, clean eyes, or buy one from a reputable source that will guarantee at least a live arrival. These tortoises can suffer from most common reptile health problems, but parasites and respiratory infections are probably the most common. Although one of the more hardy tortoise species, wild-caught Russian tortoises usually have internal parasites. These parasites are not a huge burden on the animals in the wild, but when tortoises are confined to a small area and they endure the additional stresses of importation, the parasites can build up their numbers to levels potentially deadly to the tortoise. Taking a fresh fecal sample to a reptile veterinarian can get you some idea of the types of parasites present, their numbers and the drugs needed to treat them. Russian tortoises can also be prone to respiratory infections if they are kept in cool or wet enclosures. They need to be able to dry out, particularly if temperatures are low.
Handling and Temperament[edit]
Contrary to what many sellers tell customers, tortoises generally should not be handled with any regularity. They are easily stressed when overhandled, and children tend to drop them when spooked. These stress factors can lead to a decline in a tortoise's activity levels and health. Adult Russian tortoises are generally more resistant to handling, but all tortoises should be handled carefully. Avoid pinning them down or restricting them. Allow them to carry on with their intended ways.
This species is traditionally placed in Testudo. Due to distinctly different morphological characteristics, the monotypic genus Agrionemys was proposed for it in 1966. Today, Agrionemys horsfieldii is currently being accepted.[2] DNA sequence analysis generally concurs, but not too robustly so.[3] Some sources also list three separate subspecies of Russian tortoise, but they are not widely accepted by taxonomists:[4]
- T. h. horsfieldii (Gray, 1844) – Afghanistan/Pakistan and southern Central Asia
- T. h. kazachstanica Chkhikvadze, 1988 – Kazakhstan/Karakalpakhstan
- T. h. rustamovi Chkhikvadze, Amiranschwili & Atajew, 1990 – southwestern Turkmenistan

At the Forge - Google Web Services
For the past few months, we've been looking at a number of Web services offered by Amazon, allowing us to search through its catalog with relative ease. Amazon decided several years ago to make its Web services largely free, on the assumption that this would raise the number of people eventually buying from its Web site. And indeed, a large number of developers now use Amazon Web services to create everything from custom bookstores to programs that can help with bookstore management.
Amazon isn't the only commercial Web site that has opened up its catalog to the outside world. Google, another 900-pound Internet gorilla, also released its Web APIs several years ago. These APIs make it possible to search through Google's extensive catalog of Web content. It's impossible to know whether this catalog is the largest in the world, but from my perspective, that's somewhat irrelevant. Google's catalog is large enough, and is updated frequently enough, for me to rely on it as my primary search engine most of the time.
Google has made a number of different APIs available over the last few years. This month, we look at the simplest of them, for performing basic searches of the Web archive. We examine how Google uses WSDL (Web service description language) to advertise its Web services and how we can make SOAP calls to search through Google's extensive library for our own purposes.
If you have worked with Amazon Web services, getting started with Google's APIs will not surprise you a great deal. To begin, both companies require that you register to use their services. Registration is free in both cases and provides you with an identification key that is placed in every request to the server.
To obtain a Google key, you first need to register for a Google account. Now, I've had a "Google account" for some time, for use with services such as Gmail and its personalized news page. However, it seems the APIs are linked to a different set of accounts. The fact that I had to register and log in to the API system, even after initially logging in to my "main" Google account, struck me as a bit odd.
That said, creating an account is simple and straightforward. Go to the main Google API page (www.google.com/apis), click on create a Google account, and fill out the form. Soon after submitting the HTML form, you will receive e-mail from Google confirming the creation of your account and containing your Google key, along with a URL to visit in order to confirm the account's creation. After confirming the creation of your account, you're ready to move forward with the use of your Google key, creating programs that take advantage of Google's Web services.
Before we do that though, we should consider the restrictions that Google places on the service and the data we retrieve through it. Amazon allows participants to make only one API call per second, which means a maximum of 86,400 calls in a given 24-hour period. Google, by contrast, allows users to make only 1,000 calls in a given 24-hour period.
Moreover, the way in which these maximums are defined indicates the way in which violations will be handled. Google will return an error message if you have made more than 1,000 queries in the previous 24 hours, whereas Amazon will complain only if a query comes within one second of a previous query. Neither service keeps track of these numbers before returning an error message, but it is obviously easier to recover from violating Amazon's restrictions (by sleeping for one second and retrying) than Google's (as the program might need to sleep for up to 24 hours before retrying).
There are a number of legal differences between the two sites' services. Amazon pioneered the idea of affiliate vendors on the Web, encouraging people to create commercial services around its database. By contrast, Google explicitly states that users are forbidden from creating a commercial service around its search results. (If you are interested in creating a commercial service based around Internet search data, consider looking at Amazon's Alexa Web search platform service, which doesn't have these restrictions. At the same time, it'll cost you 25 cents for every 1,000 requests, which can add up quickly for a popular site.)
Finally, there are some technical differences between the two sites. Amazon's APIs work via both SOAP and REST, allowing developers to choose between these two formats. Google, by contrast, provides only a SOAP interface to its search engine. So, in order to create our search system, we need to install and use a SOAP client library. Fortunately, most languages have high-level libraries that allow for SOAP calls.
Google won't give me the key and code for web page : Google maps
Google maps are terribly inaccurate.
Google DO NOT provide :
Advanced Geocoding
Option for Large Static Maps
service Level Agreement
Technical Support
Support portal & usage reporting
Google maps for business is a basic mapping service for API and is not always free. The customisation is poor, and the coverage is not great, seldom recognising small towns and only to postcode accuracy as NO geocoding !
If something is good enough, they would not give it away !
i prefer a Viamichelin solution, much more professional
Just had this back from a business who has moved to Google to ViaMichelin !
Initially Simplytrax used a product I trialed and it stank (2008) and I told them I can only assume that this is a joke.
They have sinced changed provider and told me that Google maps are terrible unlike our new system with benefits from enhanced ViaMichelin technology.
Google maps web service is about the worst mapping I have seen and I have seen most mapping systems. No reputable company would use Google API.
Our new platform uses a viamichelin business web service which far surpasses anything we have seen before.
More coverage, better accuracy and support and a world recognised brand for quality for a price less than I thought ( ViaMichelin were Cheaper than the Google enterprise Ajax API we solution by 25% with straight forward Javascript coding !
Mark Boardman of ViaMichelin business UK stated " We are pleased to have secured this contract to ensure the continued success of SimplyTrax"
Simply Trax
Google won't give me the key and code for web page
Dear Reuven,
Congratulations for your article!
I've registered a Google account this morning but still haven't received an email with the file... Is it normal this way?
I'd like to use your perl script embedded into a web page but I work with PHP. Is there a simple way to put that perl code to work on a web page assuming the parameters came from a form?
I assume PHP 4 manages SOAP, can I work with PHP/SOAP?

There's only one way to start a column about 'The Wonder Years.'Whether you lived in the 1960s or just the 1980s, ABC's 1988-1993 hit 'The Wonder Years' remains one of the best TV shows ever made. It follows the not-especially-remarkable life of Kevin Arnold, an average kid growing up in the suburbs in the late 60s, his family, his friends and the girl of his dreams. If you haven't watched the show, I recommend you running to Netflix Instant and marathoning the entire thing, being careful to avoid that low rent version of 'With a Little Help from My Friends' they use in the open so they don't have to pay The Beatles and/or Joe Cocker a ton of money.We've put together the 15 best sports moments from the run of the show, featuring everything from dodgeball to Jesus Christ playing high school basketball to Kevin's sweet vintage Jets jacket.

The Orange Leader
BEAUMONT — Call Saturday night's performance the Montana Quirante show.
The Central Jaguars (2-5, 2-2) made it an interesting game in the fourth quarter but, at the end of the night, Montana Quirante and the Vidor Pirates (6-1,3-1) ran away with the victory for a 40-21 win.
The Pirates offense totaled 421 yard with 399 coming on the ground. Quirante stole the show picking up 240 yards rushing on 22 carries including a remarkable six rushing touchdowns. Bryce Cooper helped in the effort by contributing a 52-yard carry that eventually lead to points for the Pirates.
The Jaguars found success through the air as Robert Mitchel completed 13 passes for 185 yards. Mitchel did find the end zone on three different runs as he also totaled 47 yards rushing. Garrison Mitchell lead the way receiving with 61 yards but Nicalus Rhone was the go-to-receiver with six receptions for a total of 44 yards.
The Jaguars would receive the kickoff and both teams traded three and outs to start off the game. Austin Rodriguez would give the Pirates their first break of the night with an interception to set up the offense on the 50 yard line.
It would only take three plays for Quirante to find the end-zone. He navigated through the defense for a 39 yard touchdown run to put the Pirates on the board first. Michael Tamayo would tack on the point after as the Pirates lead 7-0 with 5:51 remaining in the first.
After forcing the Jags to punt on the following drive the Pirates would set up shop on their own 35 yard line. This time it would take four plays to find pay dirt. Bryce Cooper carried the ball 52 yards before he was stopped at the six yard line. After a few penalties the Pirates found themselves in a first and goal situation from the 20 yard line. The Jags would not be able to stop Quirante from finding the endzone for the second time. After a botched snap on the PAT the scoreboard would read 13-0 with 2:28 left in the first.
After the Pirates defense forced another three and out, the offense would take over at their own 41 yard line. This time they would chip away at the field position for eight plays before Quirante busted a 21 yard run for his third touchdown. The Pirates would go for two but fail to cross the goal line leaving the score at 19-0 with 7:44 until half time.
On the following drive the Jags would finally find success using five plays to span 66 yards to find the endzone. Landon Marlbrough would make a great catch only to be stopped on the three yard line. The next play Mitchel would carry it in to get the Jags on the board. Xavier Morris would add the point after as the score was 19-7 with 6:49 until the half.
The Pirates would bring the kickoff past the 50 to start the drive on the 48 yard line. They would again chip away at the field position using 11 plays and a 4th down conversion to set up Quirante's 14 yard run for his fourth touchdown of the half. Tamayo would come though for the extra point with 1:27 remaining in the half.
The Jags would not go into the locker room quietly. With 33 seconds on the clock Garrison Mitchel would fully extend himself on a 39 yard diving catch to put them on the one yard line. The Jags would hurry to the line and Robert Mitchel would keep it on the quarter back sneak for the score. Morris added the extra point as they closed the gap to 26-14 with 20 seconds left before the teams head for the locker rooms.
Both teams were quiet during the 3rd quarter until the Jags Trent Samuels fell on a Pirate fumble to give the ball to their offense the ball 53 yards from the goal line. On a 12-play drive Mitchel would eventually convert a third and 18 situation with a 25-yard touchdown run. After Morris added the point after the Jags were within striking distance trailing 26-21 with 10:21 remaining in the game.
The Pirates would not allow the Jags to hang around any longer. Quirante would add two more touchdown runs of 1 yard and 18 yards to seal the victory and bring his total to six rushing touchdowns on the night.
Next week the Pirates (6-1,3-1) will be at home to celebrate homecoming as the take on the PN-G Indians (2-6, 1-4).

Developing students listening is an important skill in music. To be able to listen to and analys a piece of music and then pick out certain aspects of it for discussion is an essential skill that we think will broaden a child's understanding of the world around them. We have been using the thinking routine See, Think, Wonder to stimulate some deep thinking about various visual art works for the purpose of developing skills on highlighting and emphasising detail. Gradually as the students become accustomed to the routine it will be changed to Listen, Think, Wonder. Here the students will be asked to thinking about the detail in what they hear? What does it make them think about and what does the music make them wonder about?
Students will also be given the opportunity to listen to various pieces of music and will be encouraged to draw images of what comes to mind. This is important for the students to develop an awareness of their 'minds eye'. The reasons for this is so that they will develop their reflective thinking skills which intern will lead to greater control and flexibility of their imaginations.
Both listening routines are good ways of getting the students to listen to their inner voice which is sometimes referred as self talk or metacognition. As students are encouraged to think reflectively and become more aware of their self talk they will also gain greater control of their thinking. This is important if we want to encourage creative thought amongst out students. What I mean by this is if we want our students to be creative thinkers then they need to know how to do it. Thinking divergently is one way we can encourage students to come up with original ideas. If a student is metacognitively in control then they might ask themselves "How can I do this differently?" or "Is there a better way?" or "I see this differently how can I express it?" So as students become more aware of their divergent thinking, learn to control it and value it, then they are more likely to be inclined to use it.
What are some of the ways that you might encourage students to think creatively? What approaches do you use when educating for thinking skills?

Wins: Best Store, Best Gift Store, Best Furniture Store
What has made Bliss so successful?
Scott: Timing had a lot to do with it. Nine years ago we had the inclination to open up in an urban area poised for redevelopment. We tried to bring interesting things to our store, things you couldn't find everywhere. We try to keep our inventory fresh and new. Our success builds from our being price conscious. We look at everything we put in our stores, and we ask, "Would we purchase that at that price?" That's the fun of buying. We buy things we like.
What motivated you to open the first Bliss store downtown?
Scott: Lisa lived in Europe. I love cities. We had no other thoughts whatsoever of opening up anywhere else. Downtown was very supportive from the start. [Longtime downtown resident] Karen Kluge was our first customer.
Lisa: She bought so many candles. I wonder where she put them all.
Scott: When we opened the fences were up, and the Square was a mud pit. You're walking on planks to get in the door. Momentum was inevitable. You could feel it in the air. Once the fences came down, people came.
What made you decide to carry furniture?
Scott: When we first opened, we didn't have much of anything. We had candles, vases, picture frames, and a little bit of furniture. We were Bliss Home + Art. We decided to pull the furniture out, so we became Bliss and Bliss Home.
In what other ways has Bliss changed?
Scott: We started out as a gift store. We still have gifts, but we're more than that now. We started dabbling in clothes four years ago. We had a small space dedicated to apparel. Now it's probably 60 percent.
How do you select the art that hangs at Bliss?
Scott: There's a committee. We've always tried to support local art. Being a local business and being in an urban area, we want to support local and regional art. We've expanded beyond that, but we always want to support local artists.
How did you come up with the name "Bliss"?
Scott: It's short, easy to understand. We felt like that one syllable captured the feel and essence of what we wanted to do. "Shop in Bliss, Live in Bliss" is our tag line.
Are green and purple your favorite colors?
Scott: Green's one of our favorite colors. The outside was [former restaurant] Lula Purple.
Lisa: We didn't want to repaint!
Scott: We liked the contrast. When you walk out of a store in Europe, you feel like you have something special. We couldn't afford to put "Bliss" on the green bags. We had rules. You used a certain number of pieces of purple tissue depending on the size of the bag. We used to sit at Oodles and watch the bags. We'd call the store and say, "We didn't see any purple tissues sticking out." I remember going to birthday parties, and there'd be six or seven Bliss bags.
What's it like to work together every day?
Lisa: It's great. We have similar tastes, thank God. We'll be at the apparel mart and pick out similar items. He has his strengths, and I have mine.

My beat: How folks make, keep and spend fortunes.
Florida businessman David Siegel, who was briefly a billionaire in 2007, made news last month when he sent a letter to Westgate Resorts employees outlining all the reasons they shouldn't vote for Obama. In the letter, he suggested he might retire to the Caribbean and get out of business altogether.
Yesterday, he told Business Week that he was not yet retiring and instead had given his employees a 5% raise to help them deal with Obama economics.
I spoke to Siegel, who is in Scottsdale, Arizona for a corporate retreat with his top executives, this afternoon about that raise, the election, the future of the Republican Party and the outlook for business. Not surprisingly, he was outspoken and painted a dismal picture of the country. Here are some of the comments he made to me.
On Obama's Victory And Future Of Republican Party
I came out to Scottsdale planning to celebrate Romney's election. I thought he'd be elected. I didn't count on all the people who voted for Obama. I guess I live in a different world. We're totally not in touch with reality. After this election, I think it will be 50 years before a Republican will be elected to the Presidency. It's going to get more planted to the Democrtats as each year goes by. There will be more Latinos, more blacks, more people on welfare, more on food stamps, more on unemployment – and they all vote for Democrats.
What (Republican) in their right mind would go through all that expense and sacrifice if they know they aren't going to be elected? I don't see us having another Republican president for years to come. It's mind boggling. I am either totally in the dark, or people don't really care about America becoming great again. We're playing a status quo battle and people don't want any changes. If you are on food stamps, you don't want any changes.
On The Voters Who Elected Obama
There are two reasons students, who aren't working, voted for him. He ended the wars, so they don't want to be drafted and they are hoping that with the stroke of his pen he will lower student loans or help lower the interest they are paying. Why would they vote for him other than those two reasons? Women voted for him because of birth control and abortions. No one who voted for him cared about the economy. They didn't care about getting the country great again, getting respect in the world.
Business and workers are not in the majority anymore. It's the people on food stamps, on welfare, students, who aren't even working. These are the people voting, anyone on the government's take. I see (Obama) making all illegal aliens citizens with a presidential directive and that will be another 12 million for his voting bloc. This is all about getting re-elected. I think you probably heard it from me first. In four years, the candidate who will be running will be Michelle Obama. She will be the next president. I don't think he wants to give up the power.
On His Future Plans
A week before the election I had a meeting with my top executives and said next year, I want to double our sales. Figure out how to do it. Now in 2 hours I am having meeting with them and I'll tell them I would still like to double sales, but they should figure out how to do it without taking a risk. If Romney had been elected, I'd be willing to take a risk and now I am not and that is the difference between who got elected and not elected.
I am not going to let it affect my thinking or my resolve to make my company better but here is the difference in a nut shell. I planned this retreat several weeks ago so we could get all my executives together and we could plan to start expand and grow the company. That means borrowing money, putting myself on the line again. I am not going to do that now. I am not going to take the risk. I still want to do whatever I can to expand the company but without taking any risk. I am now not thinking of construction, acquiring new companies, or going into debt….and every successful business is willing to take a risk and now businesses are not going to take a risk. Wall Street reacted to the news with big drop. It's going to be gridlock, deadlock, do-nothing, verge of financial collapse, for country. We'll be on that so-called cliff for the next four years. T he majority of people don't care. And in four years whoever is the Democratic candidate will be elected again…and again and again until we're a third world country.
On His Decision To Give Employees 5% Raises
My employees are like my children. They've been suffering over the last four years and now are suffering even more because of Obamacare and higher interest rates. I needed to give them something to help them out and as a company we're doing great. From profitability standpoint, we had our best year in our history and I wanted to ease the burden for them. I can't say it will happen again next year.
Closing Thoughts
There is no American dream anymore. People are not going to take the chance (and start businesses); it is too risky. What Obama can do to overcome that is ease up Credit, which is the life source of every business. If he does that, he can avert a calamity, but four more years of the same will be terrible. It will be a disaster.
I am going to do everything I can to stay successful but as I said a few months ago or few weeks ago, if it hurts too much and I am not enjoying it and have too many obstacles, I am going to retire and live out the rest of my life happy. Actually, I wouldn't say happy. I hope I wake up and everything is wonderful and maybe he'll see the light, and I'll be pleasantly surprised and he can convert me.

I think that people don't want the religious strings that come along with being a republican. I'm a fiscally conservative democrat. I vote for equality and the hope that we're not going to start WWIII, etc… Not making sure that welfare recipients receive free orthodontia and a EBDT card. A moderate would have won this election with the fiscal cuts and fixing medicare and social security for our elderly. They earned it.
They should blame it on Rush, Peggy, FOX, Will, Morris and all the other numb skulls who refused to believe the polls and put Romney into a bubble of misinformation. They all believed what they wanted to believe, not the reality of the election. It is the ignorant GOP that refuses to come into the 21st. century. The party of exclusion should take the blinders off and look around.
Very very very ignorant..I'm confused as to how he runs a business…While he was watching Fox News he must have missed the fact that Romney only got 70% percent of the white vote, therefore he should say blacks, latinos and whites voted for Obama…Just like a business has to change with the times so does the Republicans firm stance on certain issues…They could've easily won this election if they didn't have the "my way or the highway attitude"…BTW stop making excuses and double your sales. All of this money that was just spent on this election means there is plenty money out here so be a leader and stop making excuses. I bet his executives hate being around him, probably brings negative energy everyday to the office just because Obama's the president.
Not taking risk? What is this guy in business for if he isn't taking risk to remain competitive? If I were his competitor, I'd watch him like prey to a vulture. If I worked for him I'd take that 5% raise and run somewhere else with it
What a baby!
So Obama has destroyed businesses for the last four years, yet his company had it's most profitable year last year? Can anybody explain how that makes sense?
Most of Obamacare and Dodd-Frank goes into effect next year and the year after. I can certainly vouch for Dodd Frank crippling a lot of business already. Homes are dirt cheap and people with good credit can't get financed because of it. It's killing real estate, and leaving a ton of foreclosed homes stagnant.
Funny that this guy insinuates that the only people who vote democratic are people on welfare and unemployed, when the states that voted for Obama are the most prosperous in the nation and have the lowest unemployment rates. The republicans will not get elected again, not because everyone is just looking for a handout, but because the people aren't buying their scare tactics anymore and there are not enough religious fundamentalists out there who vote on purely social issues anymore.
They cannot assemble together 51% of the vote from the 1%, anti-abortionists, racists, Regan reminisce, and NRA folks. The normal middle class working people with a brain outnumber these demographics. We know that when Clinton left office, the budget was balance the economy was great, then Bush deregulated everything, gave his goonies the highest tax cut ever, and the economy went to Pot, mainly because the deregulated banks started giving mortgages to anyone who would sign on the dotted line causes a huge bubble.
Also, why would I vote for a party that doesn't have anything to offer. There only plan was to lower taxes, and increase spending on defense, how is that going to balance the budget really? People voted for Obama, because they trust more that he wants what is best for 100% of the county and not just the 1%, while Romney says that he doesn't even care about 47% of the people. No one wants to be on food stamps, why would they want to be poor, they want to work for a living wage, but so many people are working 40 hrs a week, but at slave wages, because unions have become so weak, we are going backwards to the early 1900 before that advent of livable wages, health insurance, and pension. Now these benefits are disappearing and so is the middle class that came along with them. No one is against successful business or people getting rich, but the system is increasinglt stacked so that only a limited number of people can get rich while most are stuck at the bottom. This is due to the increase in franchises and mega corporations merging into one another. Instead of local banks and supermarkets there are just a few national entities, so all that profit goes to just a few, while their employees work for 10 an hour. Their employees barely get to buy so they don't spend money and when they do it is at mega retails with the cheapest price. Further strengthening the cycle of a handful very large business profiting. It reminds me of medieval serfdom. A king collects all the wealth, while his serfs work for him and buy everything, live a subsitance life. Nothing in Romney's plan seemed to fix this. It was more trickle down economics, which doesn't work. The rich don't pay their employees more when they make more, they invest it on expanding and hiring more min wage workers. They only care about cutting the bottom line every quarter to keep investors happy and make their stock interest in the company go up. There is no motivation, besides benevolence, for those at the top to pay their employees more or give them more benefits, that is why unions are so important. Romney is against unions, sees them as socialistic and killing free enterprise, but all they really do is level the playing field. We have unions to thank for many of the little luxuries we enjoy in life now such has holidays off and a 5 day work week.
Just so no republican accuses me of being a lazy person on food stamps, I will point out the I have a well paying job, used to work two jobs up until recently so I could buy a house and am well in the 53%. So are all of my friends…and we all voted democratic.
The real lazy people in my mind are the 1% who just make money off the the millions they inherited in the bank or off of various stocks and hedge funding trading tactics that screw a bunch of other investors. The lehman brothers and bernie madoffs of the world hording all the wealth. These are the people who have never actually earned money with their hands and through real work, they just sit back and collect dividends and interest from their yachts and complain when they have to pay more in taxes on the free money they scammed from people! When the shit hits the fan the cash out their stocks and write themselves a multi-million dollar severance check, then claim bankruptcy and screw their debtors. How many times has Donald Trump pulled the bankruptcy card?

Have Sled, Will Travel
Snowflakes make most of spring ride
Lane Lindstrom
Editor's Note: Because of its participation at the Utah Snowmobile Show last fall, the Davis County Snowflakes earned the right to have one of its club rides featured in SnoWest Magazine.)
There are a lot of things snowmobilers are known for—both good and bad. One of our better traits—at least one we'd like to be known for—is that we're not afraid to find the snow and we'll travel to get to good snow.
That was the case this past spring when the Davis County (Utah) Snowflakes decided just a few days before its final official club ride of the season to move from its traditional sledding spot at Fairview, UT, to the Uinta Mountains in northeast Utah—about 150 miles northeast as the bird flies.
The reason was simple.
The Uintas had just got pounded by a spring snowstorm and the conditions were excellent for snowmobiling. Fairview was good but the Uintas were going to be that much better.
It was April 10 and more than a foot of new snow blanketed the Uintas. Somewhat warm temperatures prior to the weekend ride had settled the snow by the time the club rolled into the parking area near Christmas Meadows but it was pretty much still untracked as we headed south on the Mirror Lake Highway under overcast skies.
It didn't take long before the group headed off trail and into the trees as the sledders made their way towards the Whitney Guard Station, located just west of the West Fork of the Bear River. While the snow was best described as "spring conditions," that didn't mean there weren't a few in the group that didn't manage to get stuck. But there was plenty of help around and even more good-natured ribbing to go along with it.
Once the Snowflakes regrouped at the Whitney Guard Station it was decided to head for Double Hill, a popular hillclimbing area not too far west of Whitney Reservoir.
Double Hill is actually more of a ridgeline than a couple of hills, with the highest point (on the south end of the ridge) sitting at about 10,382 feet. As you travel north on the ridgeline it tapers down to about 10,200 feet. It's mostly open with just a few stands of trees scattered about, which is why it's so popular with the horsepower crowd.
We spent a good portion of the day at Double Hill as several of the Snowflakes worked over the top end of the hill jumping up and then launching off the cornice. Others were content playing in the trees—where the snow was still the deepest and lightest.
Toward the end of the day we headed north and a bit west toward Moffit Basin to play before heading back east and then farther north to the parking lot and loading up for home.
Riding with the Davis County Snowflakes once again reminded us of the benefits of being a member of a snowmobile club, no matter where you live. You get to hang out with friends doing something everyone enjoys—snowmobiling. The day we sledded there were riders of varying abilities but we all pretty much stayed together (kind of, sort of) and had a good time. It didn't matter that one rider couldn't ride as high on the hill as another or that someone didn't have the latest hardware. The club members were simply having a good time.
This marks the second year in a row that the Davis County Snowflakes have been featured in SnoWest. It's a fairly big, active club that works hard to support the Utah Snowmobile Association and its mission to promote snowmobiling.
The club, formed in 1987, was started in Kaysville, UT, and most of its members today come from the surrounding communities.

I want to draw a bit of a line under the whole CILIP and Newsnight thing pretty soon, so a good way to do that would be to see what we, the library community, can learn from the whole thing. [For those of you who missed it, a previous blog post on CILIP and the media generated unheard-of-for-this-blog levels of views and comments, so clearly tapped into something a lot of people feel strongly about.] Clearly all of the below deals specifically with CILIP, and particularly with Newsnight. But there may be lessons which can be extrapolated across the board.
In amongst all the debate it suddenly occurred to me that I have a Newsnight related contact! As exciting as a I like to think that sounds, all it means is one of my friends' career paths took them in that direction, so I could ask them about it from a Newsnight perspective. So there's a few quotes from, let's call them a nice androgynous name – Alex – below. Alex did not work on either specific programme that we're discussing, so Alex's views are NOT officially representative of Newsnight; they are just opinions based on what has happened.
CILIP does go where the conversation is
I was impressed that many representatives of CILIP tweeted links to, and commented on, my post. The social-media using arm of CILIP are always open to debate, never afraid of engaging with posts which criticise the organisation, and manage, insofar as I've seen, to remain fair and balanced in the face of something of a battering, at times. Remember kids, these people aren't necessarily the ones making the decisions they have to defend!
In addition to this, Chief Exec Bob McKee took the time to come and leave not one but two comments, responding to our questions, even though he had his own blog post on the same subject to deal with the responses to. I think that's great.
If we'd ALL acted after Newsnight, we'd probably have got an apology
I know that Debby Raven, editor of Gazette, and Johanna Bo Anderson, and a few other people, emailed Newsnight after the incorrect figures being wrong by several hundred million, thing, but really we should ALL have done so. I didn't, and I don't know why not really – no excuses for not taking action if you're going to stand on the side lines and criticise others' efforts, as I have done. Would've been simple enough to use Twitter to get 100 Information Professionals to send a brief email correcting the figure, so we should've. I asked Alex if the BBC would have been fussed about getting the figures so wrong:
Yes, the BBC would have been bothered. Someone would have got an earful but it would have entirely depended on the editor (Peter Rippon) whether there was an apology made or not. Unlikely to be on the web, not Newsnight style. More likely to be at the end of the next days programme or something. If there were only a handful of complaints, chances are they would have responded to those individually and not broadcast a correction.
Now as far as I know, Jo and the others didn't actually get individual responses. But it seems that if literally 100 or 200 of us had emailed in, they would have corrected it on the next night's edition! Perfect Echo Chamber escaping behaviour, that would have been – letting the same audience that saw the original misinformation about libraries hear the truth the next day, rather than just repeating the truth to other each other as we have done.
We have to go to the media, rather than expect them to come to us
I proposed a theory to Alex, that went like this. The first Newsnight programme didn't invite CILIP simply because they weren't aware of them, ran with incorrect figures, then Debby and Jo et al emailed irately in, and with that in mind CILIP was firmly on the radar of Newsnight, hence the offer to appear on the second programme.
You'd be right in saying CILIP didn't get the nod for the first programme because nobody knew who they were. Unless you're either a. on the BBC 'ENPS' contacts system because you have been on before/a reporter has talked to you, or b. been a regular in the broadsheets you're not likely to be on Newsnight's radar.
So it seems, and this presumably goes for most media, that we have to force the issue and make people aware we have a professional body (with a royal charter, no less!) to represent us.
We have to play by the media's rules
It was suggested in the comments on my earlier post that even attempting to sum up the contribution of libraries / skilled librarians in just 1 minute was inevitably going to end up token and facile, and from Laura Wilkinson's tweets from a CILIP event yesterday I understand Bob put across the perfectly reasonable argument that it was better not to have anyone at all on the programme, than have someone under prepared who'd do a bad job representing libraries.
I agree with both those points. But on the other hand, the 1 minute elevator pitch is, considering libraries' legendary problems with marketing themselves, actually quite a well known idea and an established part of every Info Pros PR armoury – it's a shame there wasn't anyone on hand who could quickly brush up on theirs. More to the point, if you spurn someone like Newsnight are they really going to ask you back in future? Alex again:
Now that CILIP have refused to comment, I would say yes, they are unlikely to be contacted in the future. There are plenty of important, good value people with pro-library views and so they're not forced to go with an organisation which isn't willing to 'step-up'. You have to remember that Newsnight is run by a very small team of people. They often have to put these things together in a day, so aren't going to chase people around who are too afraid to speak on TV, providing there are many suitable alternatives as I said.
So could there be an argument for getting someone on anyway, even unprepared? I don't know, it's so hard – I'm glad I'm not having to make this kind of decision myself.
I do think, though, with regards to the 'it was only a minute so it wasn't worth it' argument, that when libraries are in crisis, so many jobs are at stake under the new Government, and public perception has the potential to be a nail in a coffin or two, you've got to take any bone the media throws at you. Besides which, as Alex points out:
Note also that 1 minute of TV time is massive! Any press person worth their salt should be able to get their point across in a 20 second clip. Bear in mind most news items are only 1 minute 30 to 2 minutes in total, and that usually includes 2 or 3 interviewees. Newsnight is the exception.
There's hope yet…
I asked Alex if we could get CILIP back into Newsnight's good books, and to stay on their radar.
Basically, the BBC gets people on the radar because they either a. get to know reporters, b. have a high enough profile due to funding/politics or c. issue press releases alot and actively try and publicise the organisation.
I think that it would be a fairly rare thing for CILIP to be a regular story contributor as libraries are rarely in the news. But it might just be as simple as calling up Newsnight and asking to be contacted if there are similar stories in the future. the BBC has the system called ENPS which is a big database holding all contacts, scripts, research…everything. If someone types in 'Library Specialist', they'll [CILIP will] want to be the one that comes up.
So – someone at CILIP, make that call!
Edit: a final thought (just like Jerry Springer)
I feel like I should add something which I didn't make clear in the original version of this post.
For me, the thing to take from all of this is not, oh God, Newsnight are never going to invite CILIP back again. Admittedly that is rather depressing, but Alex could be mistaken about that, or CILIP could rectify the situation with a well placed call to the BBC. More to the point though, Newsnight is just one programme and doesn't represent the be all and end all.
The big thing, for me, is that CILIP, BIALL, the SLA, the ALA, all the other professional bodies and libraries generally, need to understand how the media operates in order to successfully engage with them – and that understanding isn't easy to come by! You have to proactively go out there and find out what makes the media tick, what the are the rules they operate by – in order that they / we get it right next time, and the time after that, and all the future times too. We must be self-confident enough to think to ourselves, yes, big news programmes do want to hear from us and yes, we do know how to deal with them effectively.
I think there's a hang-over from the old days of libraries as public institutions – charities in effect – that makes us somewhat meek, whereas in fact now they need to be run as businesses, with all the aggressive marketing that entails (and both pro-active and re-active PR).

BY BRIAN McGILLIVARY
TRAVERSE CITY — Two political neophytes hope to unseat incumbent Grand Traverse county commissioners — one Democratic and one Republican — by out-campaigning them in revamped districts.
Republican Dan Lathrop has run a relatively high-profile campaign that included multiple mailings, literature drops and yard signs in his effort to unseat two-term Democratic incumbent Ross Richardson in District 1.
Democrat Chandra Ross adopted a different, low-budget approach in her attempt to oust eight-term incumbent Republican Addison Wheelock Jr.
Ross' goal is to knock on over 3,000 doors in Long Lake Township and the western half of Green Lake Township that comprise District 4.
"I'm making really good headway and I'm really hearing from residents in my district," Ross said. "They don't feel a well-reasoned or measured approach is always taken by the board."
Richardson, the board's lone Democrat, is used to challenges from high-profile Republicans and has responded with his own literature. He said he's knocked on about 3,500 doors.
But Richardson's district took a Republican turn when local redistricting handed him Peninsula Township, where even the most popular Democrats can expect just 45 percent of the vote.
The county's troubled septage plant remains the top issue for most voters, and candidates in both races have taken opposite positions.
Lathrop opposes a new tax on properties with septic tanks to pay for the money-losing county septage treatment plant. He recognizes Peninsula Township taxpayers are on the hook for 21.5 percent of all losses, an estimated $43,000 in 2013, but said he doesn't expect the plant to fail.
Solutions he proposes, those not already exhausted by the county Board of Public Works, include more public education and allowing residents to buy vouchers to pay for treatment directly from the county. They currently pay haulers.
Richardson believes a tax, or special assessment, is the last viable option to fund the plant other than general fund tax revenue.
"It's a user service, and the users need to pay for it," Richardson said. "It's not fair to ask taxpayers who are paying for monthly sewer service to also pay for the septage plant."
County board membership was trimmed from nine to seven this year.
The roster change will allow the board to revisit members' decision this year to strip soil erosion control duties from county Drain Commissioner Kevin McElyea, whose salary also was slashed.
McElyea is Lathrop's house mate, and Lathrop said he would recuse himself from any related votes.
Richardson voted against changing McElyea's duties and cutting his salary, but said he won't vote to rescind the move because of the expense that would incur.
District 4 candidates also differ on the septic tank tax, but have much more similar positions on other topics.
"I think we could stand to lose a lot more business by creating a special assessment," Ross said, pointing to opposition to the septic tax from rural townships.
"We could be creating more problems than we are solving," she said.
Wheelock voted to support the assessment this summer, but said much has changed since that vote and he wants more information.
"I'm not terribly supportive ... but we have a publicly funded facility and we have to figure out how we pay for it," he said.
Both candidates favor of the use of fund balance money to help the county through the economic downturn and want to take a look at moving control of the county road commission to the elected county board.

The Urban Lab studies the function and evolution of highly-conserved signalling pathways in diverse organisms. Our current focus is signal initiation that is regulated by rhomboid intramembrane proteases. In particular we are interested in:
1. How is hydrolysis within membrane environments accomplished by intramembrane proteases and how is specificity achieved?
2. What is the role of rhomboid proteases in protozoan pathogens Toxoplasma and the malaria parasite?
3. What can we learn about the function of rhomboid intramembrane proteolysis and signalling throughout evolution?
We are using a combination of membrane biochemistry, cell biology, and synthetic chemistry to address these issues. Our studies may have therapeutic implications since intramembrane proteolysis plays a central role in Alzheimer's disease pathogenesis, and Toxoplasma is the leading cause of neurologic birth disorders.

how does this sound...?
Day 1- Chest/Traps Abs
Day 2- Quads/Calves One Heavy, one light Bicep exercise
Day 3- Lats/Shoulders Abs
Day 4 -Quads/Hams One Heavy, one light Tricep Exercise
For the main body parts on the left i would do 2-3 exercises of 3x6-8 reps
it is pretty similar to what the BGB article says but i want to make sure im understanding it right
should i assume it looks alright bcuz of the lack of replies?!!?
i havent looked at the bgb routine in a while, but why are you changing it? unless you substitute say an incline bench for a regular bench, or some other small detail like that, i dont know why you would mess with a program that most people like that try it.
edit: did you just posted the bgb routine and are asking if you understand it correctly? if thats the case, ignore completely what i just said.

You're switching out the 5x5 for 3x6-8.
I don't see any huge problem with it. Personally I feel shrugs are the lazy man's deads, but that's just me.
Do you have a lagging bodypart you're trying to bring up, or an overdeveloped part that can be kept at maintenance for a while? I'm just wondering what the rational was for the changes - they might very well be fine for your goals.
yea i just went back and reread the BGB routine today and i get it now so im just gona do that....thnx
