Cattle dog breeders?
Not for me, but for a coworker! She will be starting to build her house soon, and she's chomping at the bit for a cattle dog puppy. She is a dog person in the way that she is a veterinary technician and understand what training and exercise means...but she has no concept for what a reputable breeder is and HOW important finding the right breeder is going to be for her to end up with a stable dog. She asked me if I knew of any breeders and I said that I didn't, but I'd ask "some people I know" and see if they have any recommendations.
She wants a cattle dog mainly as a pet, but she and her husband are avid frisbee players and she is very interested in disc as a sport. She prefers the smaller, lighter build and has her heart set one that is blue with a black mask (although, if the right pup is the wrong color, I think she'd understand).
She would prefer someone local (definitely does NOT want to ship a pup), but she frequently drives to Michigan to visit family, so I would think she'd be fine purchasing a pup from a breeder that happens to be in Michigan.
You can PM me with breeder recommendations if posting their kennel name isn't allowed? I can never remember...
Abrams, Momma's Boy Chesapeake Bay Retriever and Cynder, Daddy's Girl muttly
I would point her towards rescue, tbh. I know there is one that focuses a lot on sport potential ACD's.. CANNOT REMEMBER THE NAME. I know it was mentioned back in one of my threads about Lucy. I want to say it's based out of Wisconsin.
Heavy working lines are going to get you an ACD with a smaller build. I really only know of two ACD breeders in MI, and both are mainly conformation breeders and one creates pretty soft dogs that I don't care for. Wyoming, California, and Missouri bring up the best working dog breeders IMO.
I don't know if this helps or not. If you want, you can PM me and I can point you towards more specifics or try to hook you up with some resources in the breed.
http://www.australiancattledog.com/ is a great site, they have a breeder section they lists breeders by state. Hope her search goes well and POST pics when the little guy arrives!
I don't like those who breed solely for "sport", a cattle dog bred to the original standard has all a sport person needs and more. Heck Josefina is orphan from a shelter whose parentage I don't know and she would be an excellent sports dog.
Make sure you tell her to try to get a dog from a breeder who works their dogs, not just shows them, IMHO working parents is very important.

Since early January we have been blessed with snow in Kicking Horse. Wave after wave of storm has pulsated through from the Pacific coast and have delivered what locals say is more like the winters of old.
Today (Sunday Feb 13th) has been another truly spectacular day. After a 48-hour storm with high winds that delivered close to 50cm of blower champagne powder at mid-mountain, clearing clouds this morning, dissipating winds and moderate temperatures culminated in a perfect day of skiing. Conditions on every aspect in the resort were superb and in some of the wind-loaded alpine chutes outright exhilirating. Of course for the more daring-do it was one of those days to tackle runs and drops that have been eye-balled for weeks, even seasons. On numerous occassions I witnessed huge 30-40ft cliffs hucked, followed by the typically Canadian response from all who witnessed it, a cacophany of hollars and cheers.
Last weekend Kicking Horse Mountain Resort hosted its third annual Wrangle the Chute competition. The event is judged on its own unique blend of big mountain riding, park and mid-west rodeo bull riding, in the form of the mountain's home-made furry mascot E.J. Hector.
Sir James Hector was a Scottish geolist, naturalist and surgeon who accompanied the Palliser Expedition with the mission of exploring new railway routes for the Canadian Pacific Railway. Surveying the pass that the railway now follows east, Hector's horse bolted for the hills hoofing him in the chest and rendering him unconscious. The story goes that his companions mistook him for dead and prepared his grave. Hector came round before they prematurely buried him and the name Kicking Horse has stuck for the river and pass they were exploring.
E.J Hector, is a bucking bronco that is strapped and suspended between two snowcats for the final phase of the competition. Competitors picked a line down the face above the Heaven's Door Yurt in Crystal Bowl, aired a huge kicker and then rode E.J. to gain maximum points. The event was won by Nelson-based Mathew Montandon whose 360 degree spin off of a 50ft cliff won him the judges favour. Below are a selection of my images from Day 1 of the two-day event.
With more precipitation expected Monday and Tuesday, followed by sun on Wednesday and Thursday, it is going to be a stellar week to be on holiday in Kicking Horse country.

Thursday, April 24, 2014
By BARRY WILNER The Associated Press
(Continued from page 1)
Wes Welker hauls in a pass behind Texans cornerback Kareem Jackson for a 47-yard gain in the first half Sunday at Gillette Stadium. The catch set up an 8-yard touchdown pass to Shane Vereen, and the Patriots went on to a 41-28 victory.
Photos by The Associated Press
Shane Vereen is congratulated by Tom Brady after the first of his three touchdowns against the Texans. The backup running back caught two TD passes and rushed for a score.
NFC: San Francisco 49ers at Atlanta Falcons, 3 p.m. Sunday (FOX)
AFC: Baltimore Ravens at New England Patriots, 6:30 p.m. Sunday (CBS)
WINNINGEST QBs – POSTSEASON
Mosts wins by a starting quarterback in NFL postseason history:
17: Tom Brady, New England
16: Joe Montana, San Francisco and Kansas City
14: Terry Bradshaw, Pittsburgh
14: John Elway, Denver
13: Brett Favre, Green Bay and Minnesota
Unlike their 42-14 loss here a month ago, the Texans didn't fold early. J.J. Watt, their dominating defensive end, bothered Brady, and when they fell behind 17-3, they had the fortitude to climb back.
Arian Foster did all the work after Danieal Manning's second big kickoff return, this one a 35-yarder that had 15 yards tacked on when kicker Stephen Gostkowski brought down Manning with a horse-collar tackle. The Pro Bowl runner covered all 47 yards on a five-play drive and his 1-yard run -- he barely squeezed into the end zone -- made it 17-10.
Houston forced a three-and-out, and a short punt gave the Texans another shot just before halftime. They got close enough for Shayne Graham to kick a 55-yard field goal as the half ended.
But the Patriots pulled away in the third quarter for Coach Bill Belichick's 17th postseason win, third behind Tom Landry (20) and Don Shula (19).
Now come the Ravens.
"It's sweet just playing in the AFC championship," defensive tackle Vince Wilfork. "It's a team that beat us earlier this year at their house, and a team that's riled up for us."
Needing a quick jolt after being blown out by the Patriots on Dec. 10, the Texans got it on the opening kickoff from Manning. He took the ball 6 yards deep in his end zone and never hesitated in returning it. He broke free at the Houston 30 and wasn't run down until reaching the New England 12.
That spark didn't even last one play, though, and Houston wound up with Graham's 27-yard field goal.
And when the Texans closed the first half with a 10-point spurt, they wasted the momentum by allowing a quick touchdown drive to open the third quarter. Brady went to his familiar targets, Welker and tight end Aaron Hernandez, on that series before second-year back Stevan Ridley scored on an 8-yard burst.
New England lost Gronkowski and Woodhead almost immediately. Gronkowski missed five regular-season games with a broken left forearm but returned for the finale. After eight Patriots plays, he was gone again.
So Brady found other targets. Vereen, after gaining 400 yards overall during the regular season, picked up 124 against the Texans. He had four touchdowns in the regular season.
"I don't come into the game knowing how much anyone is going to play," Vereen said. "I come into the game ready to go, and if my number is called, I do my best for the team."

I think you should try it. What size is your hot water tank?
I am going to install a second hotwater tank in my mechanical room and strip it of any insulation. My plan is to use the warmth from the room to pre-heat the water overnight to about 24 degrees C.
When we have demand for hot water the water will first enter the secondary hot water (holding tank) and then feed the proper hot water tank. I think this will save me hundreds of dollars if not thousands over the next ten years.
An investment like this will take years to break even. Don't expect to see a return on your investment any time soon.

Re: Rate 'em as you see 'em
Mission Impossible 4 - 9/10 - I didn't think I would like it, but I did.
Re: Rate 'em as you see 'em
War Horse - 9/10 - Great story about humanity towards animals during wartime. Shot on film instead of digital. Intense battle scenes without a drop of blood, impossible blue skies and sunsets.
Sherlock Holmes - 8/10 - Frantic romp with a few laughs. Not bad.
Re: Rate 'em as you see 'em
Oh good we want to see this one next!!
Re: Rate 'em as you see 'em
Sherlock Holmes 8.5/10 great fun! Inspired by a book, not just Guy's imagination, so my husband loved it! Better then the first in both our opinion.
Re: Rate 'em as you see 'em
OK it was an older movie, but man I had so much fun watching it I have to recommend it!!
Shoot 'em Up 9/10 fun violence! It's so crazy and can't ever really happen but I laughed out loud through the whole movie!!
Re: Rate 'em as you see 'em
Don't be Afraid of the Dark 8.5-9/10 great movie (although I'm partial to Del Toro) fun, creepy and his use of little kids (who are awesome actors!) always makes everyone uncomfortable. If it were an adult you wouldn't feel so bad! I still think Pan's Labyrinth is my #2 all time favorite movie!!

I love Pan's Labrynth! haven't caught this one, but just added it to my queue.
Have you seen The Devil's Backbone?
Re: Rate 'em as you see 'em
I think that one was more of my lesser likes of his. It's been so long I'm not really remembering it. I'll have to get it again.
Did you see the Orphanage? Another AWESOME movie. And of course there's Hellboy which is fun.
Re: Rate 'em as you see 'em
Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close 6/10
This movie honestly had potential......it had some real quality moments but as much as I wanted to like it.....I came away disappointed. It's a shame too, because Tom Hanks and I have a child together (kidding!), Sandra Bullock and I were best friends in college (yeah, right!) and the kid who plays the little boy looks distractinglly like the founder of this website (for real; see below....). Too contrived. Overall, the acting is pretty good, but I have to wonder where they got the guy who ruined a critical scene in the film. Because of his pathetic showing, I pretty much just gave up and checked out at that point.

Imagine being a 15-year-old student in high school when suddenly you are left with no choice but to have to leave not only your family, but your country in order to have freedom.
For Carmen Romanach, that was no imagination; it was her reality.
On October 19, 1961, Romanach, along with her two younger brothers Raul, 11, and Carlos, 7, travelled to Miami as part of an organization called Operation Pedro Pan.
On Thursday, Romanach and other Cubans who were escorted into freedom in the United States will be guests at a special presentation at the Holocaust Museum and Education Center of Southwest Florida.
When Romanach and her siblings came to the U.S., they hardly knew any English and were scared since they were stripped away from all they had ever known.
"We had a very sheltered life in Cuba, especially in a Hispanic community," Romanach said.
The freedoms of going to school, to work and even being able to watch the news on television were all taken away from the Cuban people. A person's status or amount of money they had no longer mattered under the reign of Fidel Castro.
"You were only allowed to have 200 pesos," said Romanach about one of the many changes that occurred in Cuba under the new communist regime.
From one day to the next, life for those living in Cuba changed. "You never knew what was going to happen next. It was a very chaotic situation," said Romanach.
"I understood because I was old enough to. I didn't say, 'No, I didn't want to,'" said Romanach about leaving Cuba and coming to the U.S. "I had to leave. That was not a safe place to be. Our life was shattered."
After arriving in Miami, the possibilities of Carmen being taken away from her brothers posed a problem. "Boys and girls were separated by age," said Romanach about the different schools and camps that took in the unaccompanied minors.
"My mother and father were telling me to take care of my brothers and I tried my best to be a parent," she said. "The only thing I remember when I was leaving Cuba was that my life was going to change."
"You grow up in 45 minutes of the flight. I had responsibilities," says Romanach.
Romanach and her two younger brothers stayed at a camp in Kendall, a suburb of Miami, for only nine days. After being visited by a family friend at the camp, the three children went on to go live with relatives they had in Puerto Rico for the next year.
After moving to Puerto Rico, Romanach observed her peers and questioned their actions. "I was sad because I had to leave my parents. I was wondering why they were laughing and were so happy," says Romanach. "I lost the feeling of carelessness and being a regular teenager."
Operation Pedro Pan started from the concerns of two men who were completely aware of the danger Cuba was about to enter into: Jim Baker and Father Bryan Walsh. Ruston Academy was an elite school in Cuba that was run by Baker. Baker, as well as most parents in Cuba, foresaw what was going to occur in Cuba.
"Parents wanted to get kids out of Cuba before the opposition period," said Victor A. Triay, Ph.D., professor of history at Middlesex Community College. "Most people thought that this wasn't going to last."
"Anything that parents feared happened. They were dead on. They were almost prophetic," said Triay about the chaos that happened in Cuba.
Baker, along with Walsh — director of the Catholic Welfare Bureau — created a way for unaccompanied minors from Cuba to be able to have student visas and visa waivers that allowed children to come over to the U.S. as a way to escape and save their lives from communist control in Cuba. From there, Operation Pedro Pan was born.
Families received the visa waivers from churches, from underground sources and also from private schools (before they were shut down) in Cuba. More than 14,000 children came to America through the operation.
"A lot of these kids suffered. They went through a hard time," said Triay. "They are grateful to Father Walsh, the American government and their parents."
The distance and heartbreak of the separation was just as hard on the children as it was for the parents who sent their children through Operation Pedro Pan. Romanach described how she used to write her mother letters.
"My mother was relying on those letters every day. After my mother's death, I found the letters I wrote and I didn't know that she still had them," said Romanach. One letter she found was dated October 20, 1961, the day after Carmen and her brothers arrived in Miami.
Today, Romanach, 65, is now the president of the "new" Operation Pedro Pan Inc., an organization that was formed in 1991 by former Operation Pedro Pan children as a way to give back to the community. She is also a licensed mental health counselor, and has four children and eight grandchildren.
"You move on from your life. This was so painful that you don't want to talk about it," said Romanach about her experience of leaving her family and country. "We found each other and we share."

DAHLONEGA, GA – The 11th-ranked North Georgia women's soccer team has their biggest road test of the year staring them in the face on Wednesday evening, as they travel to Columbus State to take on the Cougars in another Peach Belt Conference contest.
The Lady Saints and Columbus State have played virtually opposite conference schedules so far this year with their only common opponents coming against Flagler and UNC Pembroke. Both squads bounced Flagler with ease, combining to score seven goals, but the Cougars fell 1-0 in overtime to the Braves in their PBC opener, while North Georgia turned UNCP into their finest hour with a double overtime thriller over the Braves.
The Lady Saints enter their final road trip of the year this week, playing Columbus State on Wednesday before traveling to Georgia College for the final road game of the regular season. North Georgia ends the year just like Chris Adams drew it up, playing four straight home games with three of them coming against Peach Belt Conference schools.
Columbus State Cougars Body of Work
Current Record: 8-3-2 (3-2-1 PBC)
Conference Rank: 4th
Conference Prediction in 2011: 2nd
Goal Differential in 2011: +20
Last Meeting (2010): #10 Columbus State 5, North Georgia 0
The Rivalry Continues – The North Georgia and Columbus State matchup has quickly turned into one of the best rivalries in the league over the last three years and Wednesday evening should be no different. The Cougars hold a 7-1 mark all-time against the Lady Saints with a 25-5 edge in goals, but North Georgia has some recent success against their in-state rival and will look to continue their perfect season under the lights in Columbus, Georgia.
Success at Walden – While most schools go to die at Columbus State's Walden Soccer Complex, the Lady Saints have thrived there over the last two years, winning three straight games on the Cougars' home field. In 2009, the Lady Saints did the unthinkable when they shocked then 3rd-ranked Columbus State 1-0 to hand the Cougars their first Peach Belt Conference loss in over four years. The game's lone goal by Kelsey Martin in the 5th minute handed CSU their only regular season loss of the year. North Georgia also traveled to Columbus State in 2010 for a pair of neutral site games against the Sunshine State Conference and they did not disappoint, upsetting Florida Tech and 13th-ranked Florida Southern. The Lady Saints will have plenty of good memories to pull from when they step on the field Wednesday evening at one of the finest facilities in the league.
Reversed Roles – In the last three meetings between the two schools, Columbus State has been nationally ranked on each occasion, and has entered the trio of games with a combined record of 29-3-2. The Cougars have been ranked in the top 15 in the land in all three games, including a No. 3 ranking in 2009 when North Georgia slid past the national powerhouse 1-0. The roles are reversed this year however, as the Lady Saints are the ones ranked in the top 15 in the country and sport a perfect 10-0 record as the only remaining unbeaten team in the southeast.
Soaring to the Top – After the first two games of the year, North Georgia was 2-0 and heading in the right direction, but they had still not received any production from Emily Dover who was expected to lead the offensive surge during her senior campaign. The Georgia native has gone scoreless in just one game since, putting a league-leading 10 goals beside her name over the last eight games, including six scores in just the last four contests. She leads the Peach Belt Conference with four game-winning goals on the year and is making a push for the program's first-ever PBC Player of the Year honor. In less than two seasons, Dover is second in program history with 17 career goals, as she looks to lead North Georgia to a PBC Regular Season Championship and the NCAA Tournament.
Lowery's World – If North Georgia wants to improve to 11-0 on the year, they will have to contain Columbus State's All-American midfielder, Stephanie Lowery. The senior was named the PBC Player of the Year and Southeast Region Player of the Year last season and is currently tied for fifth in the league with seven goals during her 2011 campaign. While she only has one goal in the last four games, Lowery has a flare for the dramatics after tallying seven game-winners a year ago and two more this season.
Kelsey's Help – While Emily Dover has dominated the headlines with her goal scoring, Kelsey Martin has quietly accumulated six assists on the year, a statistic that leads the Peach Belt Conference. Martin, who was named the PBC Freshman of the Year in 2009, has three assists in the last four games to go along with three goals on the season. She has been directly involved in Dover's success as well, adding assists in four of her league-leading 10 goals.

Oh So Smooth!!!! – Just wanted to say thank you and throw out a little support for my new friends at SPORTSMAN'S - The Gentleman's Barber in West Monroe, LA. Ramona did a great job trimming up my hands and feet, getting me ready for sandals. My girlfriend will not give me grief this year about my crusty feet in sandals because I got a "foot detail" and my feet are smooth like a baby's butt. While I was having it's all about me day, I went ahead and got a massage and a "Trophy Buck". What a day!!! Thanks Ladies.
So glad you enjoyed your time with us. Thank you so much for taking your time to write a review telling everyone how much you enjoyed our work. Please bring your "baby smooth feet" back to see us real soon.
Almost PERFECT!! – I want to start off by saying that No One deserves a perfect score, but this was as close as it gets. I don't know what they could have done better, but everyone should be better than they are. With that said...
A buddy of mine told me about this new barber shop in West Monroe that his friends opened a few months ago, so I thought I would go try it out. Well, it was everything he said and more!! Andi does a fantastic job with a "Trophy Buck" that I can't wait to go back. She said that she has been working there for about 9 months and she loves her job. She started off by asking questions to find out more about me, my hair, and any problems I might be experiencing with my hair/scalp, then she begins the work. Hot wax on my hands and away she goes; she cuts my hair like a real pro, shaves my neck with a straight razor, and lays me back in the sink. She washed away all the loose hair, applied a steaming hot towel with some tea tree oil and began massaging my head. Wow, when I woke up a few minutes later, she set me up and said that she would love to style my hair for me and I could change it if I did not like it. The only problem I have is that I can't style it as well as she did; I guess I'll have to get her to teach me how in a couple of weeks when I go back. Thanks Andi.
Andi said the girls are still trying to build their business, so if you like SPORTSMAN'S - The Gentleman's Barber as much as I did, help them out by writing a review.
Where It's All About Men!! says it all – You ever get that strange feeling like you might be shopping in the wrong department; you know that if you go in Old Navy, Gap, ect... that you have to figure out the girls side from the guys side. So many places today look unisex, but not that new Barber Shop.
Their slogan on the door says "WHERE IT'S ALL ABOUT MEN!!" I went in a couple of days ago for a quick cut and the lady at the desk mentioned the fact that they actually do the old timey straight razor shaves and I had a few extra minutes because I was actually borrowing a little time from the boss during lunch, so I decided to have a shave with my haircut. Wow, what an experience!! Mandy really fixed me up that day. I can't wait to make the rounds in there; I met Mandy, Andi, Terra, and Tammy. Who's next...
Great Barber, Fantastic Customer Service – I had the absolute best experience topped off by the best haircut, that's right, I put the service and the haircut at the top of the list. That girl did an amazing job!! When I sat down, she began asking me a few questions to make sure that she got everything done just like I wanted it. She then performed a perfect 10 on the haircut, followed by a hot towel and head massage. What a great experience that I have been missing all these years. Normally my barber just uses a small broom on my face and head or maybe the occasional blow dryer to remove some really stubborn loose hair, but this time was different. This barber actually washed all the hair off me so I did not have it falling down my collar all day long and finally have to wash it off myself at the end of the day. WOW!!! I give this place a two thumbs up review.
Can't wait to go back and get a foot detailing and a massage.

PARK CITY — The Newton High School wrestling team had the numbers it needed to contend at the Class 5A state tournament Friday and Saturday at Hartman Arena, but couldn't put enough wins together to do it.?Newton finished seventh out of 32 teams. Newton put three wrestlers in the finals and claimed a total of five medals.?Arkansas City repeated as state champions with 177.5 points, followed by St. James Academy at 141, St. Thomas Aquinas at 128, Topeka Seaman at 115, Valley Center at 105.5, Andover Central at 100.5 and Newton at 98. The Railers entered the tournament as defending runners-up.?"It was a tough tournament," Newton coach Jude Wilson said. "There are so many tough 5A teams. We knew we had to come out and perform well. If you're not ready to go, it will show up. We struggled some. We struggled in finding those wins. When you put this many good 5A schools together, you're going to have a great tournament. I have to hand it to Ark City. They had a heck of a state tournament.?The round that perhaps hurt the Railers the most Saturday was the second consolation round, losing four of five matches.?"We didn't get a lot of help from the backside," Wilson said. "It wasn't they weren't wrestling well. It was that they weren't scoring more points than the other guy. It was just a tough tournament. I thought our guys fought hard. They made too many mistakes. We were hoping for more, but the kids gave it what they had. It's hard to tell what's going to happen when you put this many good teams together."?At 126 pounds, Quinton Harrison opened the day in the semifinals, scoring a takedown with 16 seconds remaining in overtime to edge Dalton Dietrich of Arkansas City 4-2. Harrison gave up an escape early in the third period, but scored a takedown with 13 seconds remaining in regulation. Dietrich scored an escape to put the match in overtime.?In the finals, Harrison met Greg Burley of Great Bend in a rematch of the regional finals, which Harrison won 3-1.?In the rematch, the first period was scoreless. Burley rode Harrison out in the second period, but Harrison was given a penalty point for locked hands at the buzzer. Burley scored an escape early in the third period, sending the match into overtime.?Neither wrestler scored in overtime. In the first tie-break round, Burley scored an escape. In the second tie-break round, Harrison came close twice to getting an escape, but couldn't free his leg for the points. Burley had Harrison by the foot at the buzzer for the 2-1 win.?Harrison ends the season 30-8.?"He's tough on top," Harrison said. "I knew he was a really good wrestler. It could have gone either way."?Harrison, a senior, was making his second trip to the finals. His last time came as a sophomore. He's a four-time medalist.?"It's been a long career," Harrison said. "I'm not satisfied with second, but I'm happy with four placings."?At 170 pounds, Jared Langley opened in the semifinals against Great Bend's Darion Yager, a rematch of last week's regional semifinals, which Langley won 12-0. Langley posted a quick takedown, pinning Yager with 22 seconds left in the first period.?In the finals, Langley met unbeaten Bryant Guillen of Topeka Seaman. The first two periods were scoreless, although Langley missed a couple of chances to score reversals in the second period. Langley got reversed in the third period, missing two more chances for reversals. Langley scored an escape with 15 seconds remaining, missing a shot and falling 2-1. Langley, a sophomore, ends the season 36-6.?"He's a good guy," Langley said. "I'm just going to work hard in the off-season and next season to come back here and win next time. I want to help the team win too. I wrestled him at Douglass. It was 5-4 there. It got tight. I was trying and trying (to get the reversal), but I was running out of time, so I was looking for different things I could do. (For next year,) I need to do more training, weight lifting and getting better in all aspects. I do freestyle and Greco-(Roman this summer) and I'll go from there."?At 195 pounds, Dillon Archer opened against Ben Taliaferro of Shawnee Heights, which likes to put the Superman symbol on the front of their singlets. Archer had enough kryptonite to lead 7-2 after the first period, adding nine more points in the second before scoring the pin.?In the finals, Archer faced unbeaten Preston Weigel of Hays for the third time. Weigel scored a first-period takedown. Neither wrestler scored in the second period. In the third period, Weigel added an escape. Archer posted a late takedown, falling 3-2.?Archer, a senior, ends the season 35-3.?"He's a tough opponent," Archer said. "It's been a great season for him. It was a tough match. As an athlete, you're always looking for the best competition. He moved up two weight classes this?"All three wrestled tremendous matches," Wilson said. "A slight mistake here or there means you're down a point, and it's hard to get back into those matches. At this level, it's hard to make up for those mistakes."?At 220 pounds, Raymond Gallegos opened the day in the second consolation round against Alex Parker of Salina South. Gallegos gave up a takedown early in the second period, but came back with a takedown of his own. In the third period, Gallegos added a reversal and a set of backpoints before scoring the pin.?In the consolation quarterfinals against Jesse Colvin of Leavenworth, the first period was scoreless and Gallegos was ridden out in the second period. Colvin scored a quick escape in the third period. Gallegos scored the takedown with 22 seconds remaining and held on for a 2-1 decision to clinch a medal.?In the consolation semifinals, Gallegos fell behind 3-0 to Tyson Toelkes of Shawnee Heights. Gallegos scored an escape in the third period, but couldn't score again, falling 3-1.?In the fifth-place match, Gallegos had a rematch with quarterfinal opponent Dylan Cox of Arkansas City. Cox won the first match 5-3. In the rematch, tied 0-0 after two periods, Gallegos was able to turn Cox in the third and post a pin.?Gallegos, a junior, finishes the season 35-9, winning four matches Saturday.?"I went out there with the attitude that I had nothing to lose, so I went out there and gave it all I got," Gallegos said. "It was the final match of the season. I was a little shocked I got the cradle, but I knew then I was going to get the win. Getting the pin made it even better. I've wrestled him numerous times. I just had to be smart. (In the off-season,) I need to train harder, get stronger and faster. I want to come back here and win a state championship. I'll do some freestyle and Greco-Roman wrestling this summer, and probably do some club wrestling."?"Raymond had a hard-fought tournament," Wilson said. "He fought some very good kids to get where he was. At 220, that weight was so evenly matched. A kid that he split with was in the finals. A kid he met for fifth, he lost to twice. He found a way to win. He beat a real tough kids from Leavenworth, who beat him earlier in the year. It's too bad he didn't finish a little bit higher, but you have to be proud of the effort."?At heavyweight, Garret Lee drew top-ranked and undefeated Nathan Butler of Leavenworth in the semifinals. Lee gave up a takedown in the first period and a reversal in the second before getting pinned.?In the consolation semifinals, Lee went scoreless in the first two periods against Arkansas City's Matt McCormack. In the third period, McCormack scored an escape and held Lee off for a 1-0 win.?In the fifth-place match, Lee faced Zac Sander of Valley Center. After a scoreless first period, Sander scored an escape in the second. Lee opened the third period with an escape, but gave up a takedown. Lee scored another escape, but Sander held off any shots by Lee for a 3-2 win.?Lee, a senior, ends the season 34-9.?Anthony Monares lost in the second consolation round to Kade Sander of Great Bend 4-3. Tied 3-3 in the third period, Monares gave up an intentional escape with 90 seconds remaining, but was never able to get the takedown. Monares ends the season 15-8.?At 152 pounds, Peter Nelson jumped to a 7-2 lead in the second consolation round against Zack Hoskins of St. Thomas Aquinas. Hoskins took control of the match from the second period on, posting an 18-8 major decision. Nelson ends the season 14-10.?At 160 pound, Heydon Mock was scoreless in the first two periods of his second consolation round match against Jesse Oliver of Wichita West. Mock gave up a pair of back points in the third period, but scored a reversal and rode Oliver out for the remainder of regulation to tie it. Mock missed a shot early in overtime, and gave up a takedown with 12 seconds remaining for a 4-2 loss.?Mock ends the season 31-14.?At 182 pounds, Noah Ornelas lost in the second consolation round to Dalton Rodd of Andover Central 14-1. Ornelas, a freshman, ends the season 21-14.?Newton loses a total of nine seniors and a foreign exchange student.?"It's going to be tough to say goodbye to this group of seniors," Wilson said. "They were great leaders and they will be missed. (The underclassmen) have to continue to work. They have to find ways to stay on the mat. Every little bit helps. They have to make good decisions in their lives. They're good kids and I think they will continue to do that."

Forever Grateful | (Posted on 5/11/10)
Review by Jane
I have been trying to lose the same 10-15 pounds I have been carrying around since I was in my 40's. I am 65 now and so excited about your fiber diet. In September I began your program and quickly lost 12 pounds. Now I run 3 days a week with tons of energy to also do yoga and weights. Fiber35 is so easy to do and it works better than any other program I have tried. Each day it's fun to see the numbers add up as I keep my fiber and calorie chart. Then I subtract the fiber and get a thrill knowing that I ate healthy foods, I am not hungry like I used to be and I keep losing weight! Thank you, Brenda Watson! I am forever grateful to you for improved health.
Thank You! | (Posted on 5/10/10)
Review by Sharon
I am 62 years old and I am the happiest I have ever been, since the Fiber 35 diet. I have been on more diets than your age. This is the first time I have had success. I started the diet in July and by Christmas had lost 35+ pounds. I went on the diet because of my high cholesterol and nothing was working, not even the statins by the MD. Prior to your diet my cholesterol was 287 and after 6 months and a return to the doctor my cholesterol was down to 185. But the most amazing thing and for the first time in my life, and remember that is 62 years, my doctor told me not to lose any more weight. I asked him who he was talking to. I am 5'1" and weighed 180 pounds. I now weigh 140 pounds and went from a size 1X to a 10. Thank you so much. I tell everyone about the Fiber 35 Diet.
All I can say is WOW. | (Posted on 5/7/10)
Review by Rayna
I am 17 years old and have always struggled with my weight. I was very self conscious. I have tried exercising, fruit in the morning, water diet and so on but non of them worked. After starting a cleanse to kick start my diet I was looking around and found your Fiber 35 Diet and decided to try it. I have only been on it for two and a half weeks, but already I have way more energy, feel great and I am still able to eat. I have lost 3 pounds so far, and still going strong. I love being satisfied and still knowing that I didn't eat a lot. Thank you so much for this great eating program that you have designed. It is so simple, yet effective and I love the vanilla shake and chocolate fiber bars.

The BioLogos Book Club discussion of Francis Collins' The Language of God.
We can understand why man, modern man in particular, would like to mop the floors and bleach the walls. We might not be able to tame reality, but we can tame our perception of reality. We intellectualize in order to feel in control.
A deep love for scripture, coupled (ironically) with a lifelong struggle with religious doubt, led Robert Boyle to write several important books relating scientific and religious knowledge. We explore aspects of this fascinating interaction.
"I believe it is fair to conclude that the supposed threat posed to human free will and moral responsibility from the very much work-in-progress social and cognitive human sciences is quite overblown."
The idea that the story we know is only the very beginning raises a new question in place of Feynman's objection that Christianity is provincial. Is it presumptuous to claim that in such a grand universe, possibly with intelligent life arising in many places, the redemption and transformation of the entire cosmos starts here, on our pale blue dot?
Over the next few months, with permission from Yale University Press, BioLogos will offer edited versions of chapters from John Polkinghorne's best books, Belief in God in an Age of Science and Theology in the Context of Science, in order to help readers delve more deeply into some of his most important ideas.
For Darwin, both of these observations (that oceanic islands lacked terrestrial mammals, and that endemic species on islands were most similar to a species on the closest mainland) had the same explanation: his hypothesis that endemic, oceanic species were the modified descendants of a colonizing species from the nearest continent.
The problem is that as human beings, we know that goodness exists, so it must be accounted for, and if one is a staunch believer in scientism, it must be accounted for scientifically.
Congratulations to the 37 winners of the Evolution & Christian Faith (ECF) grants competition! ECF is a new BioLogos program designed to support projects and network-building among scholars, church leaders, and parachurch organizations.
A common argument leveled against the theory of evolution is that scientists have not been able to produce transitional fossils that show the change of one species into another. In this podcast, we address a common misconception about what transitional fossils actually are.
This series by Denis Alexander reflects on advancements in genomics as well as their theological implications. He focuses on the relatedness of hominin genomes, arguing that this does not interfere with the image of God in humans. The image of God depends more on the capacity for relationship and covenant, not on a list of particular physical qualities. He then discusses why the recent studies of genomics provide "no grounds for genetic determinism."
Once we have a scientific hypothesis for how something exists, it is tempting to make the philosophical inference that this is also why it exists.
In this three-part series, Cal DeWitt offers insights and examples of why science and ethics must work together to help us make informed, practical decisions within our society. DeWitt's science-ethics-praxis model provides a framework by which we can live more effectively as God's stewards.
In this series, David Buller pays careful attention to the original language and cultural context of Genesis 2, revealing that our responsibility to care for creation is a sacred task given to us by God, not merely a modern secular activity. By taking Scripture seriously, we learn that we have a God-given mandate to be diligent stewards of His creation.
The BioLogos Foundation explains to the findings of the Encyclopedia of DNA Elements (ENCODE) project and responds to the claims that its discoveries challenge the theory of evolution, especially regarding so-called "junk DNA".
The Denisovans, an extinct hominid group that interbred with modern humans, made the news again lately with the publication of a more detailed study of their genome. One of the many interesting findings was that the Denisovans share the same chromosome 2 fusion that modern humans have.
Considering the immense popularity of "Darwin's finches", it is quite surprising to learn that Charles Darwin himself had very little to say about them. In fact, it was actually David Lack, one century later, who conducted the critical research that immortalized the finches in biology textbooks and popular lore.
In this series, James Kidder provides an intriguing study on transitional fossils and the evolutionary history of modern humans. He begins by discussing the fossil record, explaining how new forms are classified. He then explains the physically distinguishing trait of humankind—bipedalism. From the discovery of Ardipithecus, the earliest known hominin, to the australopithecines, the most prolific hominin, Kidder focuses on the discovery, the anatomy, and the interpretation of these ancestral remains.
Trinitarian theology and the image of God are important, non-essentialist resources to help us think about the distinct place of humanity in creation.
There are two opposite errors which need to be countered about the fossil record: 1) that it is so incomplete as to be of no value in interpreting patterns and trends in the history of life, and 2) that it is so good that we should expect a relatively complete record of the details of evolutionary transitions within all or most lineages.

The meteoric painting career of Emily Kame
Kngwarreye commenced with works such as this,
painted within the first year in which she took to the
medium of acrylic on canvas. The painting features
a loose grid or matrix of lines joining circular nodes;
the grid resonates with the conventional compositional
structures of desert paintings where the configuration
represents sacred sites joined by the journey lines of
the ancestors. A variation on this grid structure in a
painting from the same time can be seen in
1989-90 in the Holmes à Court Collection (Carrigan,
B. [ed.],
Utopia: Ancient Cultures, New Forms
, Heytesbury
and Art Gallery of Western Australia, Perth, 1998, pp.
34-5, illus.).
Kngwarreye used variations of the grid to underscore
the compositions of many of her later works, to
the point where the grids are subsumed in fields of
coloured dotting. Whereas in most of these paintings the
combination of line and dot refers to her main totem,
the pencil yam, kam, its seeds and the tracery of the
roots of the plant underground, this work is exceptional
in that the matrix refers to the root system of a grass,
atherrk (athugura) which is edible in the dry season,
while the dots represent katyerr, the desert raisin.
By the time she passed away in September 1996,
Kngwarreye had come to be regarded as one of
Australia's major painters of the late twentieth century.
Patrick McCaughey, in his opening address at the
Fred Williams retrospective exhibition
Infinite Horizons
at the National Gallery of Australia in August 2011,
listed her among the most important painters of the
Australian landscape, on a par with Williams, Sidney
Nolan and Arthur Boyd. This for an artist whose
paintings were not seen publically until 1980 when she
was working with the Utopia Women's Batik Group.
More accolades followed. In 1992 Kngwarreye was
awarded an Australian Artists Creative Fellowship in
recognition of her contribution to the cultural heritage
of the nation, and her work was chosen to represent
Australia at the Venice Biennale of 1997 along with
that of Yvonne Koolmatrie and Judy Watson. Emily
Kame Kngwarreye's achievements were recognized
in two major retrospective exhibitions of her work
which included
Untitled (Alalgura/Alhalkere)
, 1989: one
organized by the Queensland Art Gallery in 1998 that
toured Australia; another by the National Museum of
Australia that toured Japan in 2008.

Sushi or sushi rolls made of rice, fish, avocado, and nori, seem safe for gluten-free eaters, right? Wrong. Turns out many sushi ingredients contain hidden gluten.
If you're wondering whether sushi is gluten free, you also may be curious whether wine and other alcohols are gluten free.
Last Sunday night my gluten-intolerant son called and mentioned that he was feeling quite ill... maybe he'd caught a flu bug somewhere. Given the fact that he's a strict gluten-free eater (and has been since he determined a gluten intolerance at age 21), my first question was: Did you eat anything unusual?
"Well," he said, "I did have sushi rolls for the first time on Friday. But they [the restaurant and catering company that brought the food] told me it was OK—it's just rice, fish, avocado, and nori."
That sounds safe, I thought. But when we talked again the next morning and he said he still felt ill, he added that the symptoms definitely "seemed gluten-y"—no fever as with a flu, but "I felt loopy all day" and generally crummy. He even decided to work at home, a sign that he really felt off.
"It's gotta be that sushi," I said. Japanese food is notoriously difficult to ensure as gluten free because of the heavy reliance on soy sauce, which contains gluten. But rice and fish? I figured that he must have gotten some gluten somewhere, but I didn't know where.
More things that aren't gluten free: Some alcohols
A bit later, he texted me. "On a gluten free website: 'Most fake crab meat used in sushi rolls is made with wheat.' There it is! According to this website it's EVERYTHING in sushi—the rice, the crab, all of it. Cross contamination + Japanese ingredients total up to very gluten-y."
The moral of the story: Asking is crucial, but it doesn't always work. The restaurant and catering company both said the food was safe for my son to eat—wrong. You can see why gluten-free eaters and advocates are anxious for the FDA to finalize its gluten-free definition and labeling rule! An FDA comment period on gluten is now open, so at least it's finally moving forward.
In the meantime, queries about seasonings, sauces, and preparation still matter, but if the ingredients come from another country, their labeling may not reveal it, so only trust a restaurant that's done its due diligence and can tell you exactly what they've used in their food.
And if you ask whether an item is gluten free and a restaurant or server says, hesitatingly, "I think so," ask yourself whether it's worth taking the word of someone who doesn't know what you're talking about.
Which brings me to my next quest: Is HoneyBaked Ham gluten free?
