Two fire trucks were called to Bella Vista today when a grass fire broke out behind the Totally Home shopping centre.
The fire broke out at 11.45am on a small bushland section of private land.
Bella Vista resident Arthur Moreno, who lives on Waterstone Crescent, said he was worried for the safety of his home when he saw plumes of smoke coming towards his property.
''I was out in the backyard with my dog and the smoke kept getting thicker,'' Mr Moreno said.
''Shortly after that I decided to come down closer to the fire to whether I'd have to evacuate.''
Mr Moreno was one of the first on the scene and arrived 15 minutes before fire crews.
''The fire is mainly grass based which tends to give off more smoke,'' he said.
Fire and Rescue NSW confirmed it was a grass fire on the corner of Celebration and Lexington drives.
"There's two crews on-site from Northmead and Schofields," Operator for Fire Rescue NSW, Darren Pearson said.
"The crews arrived seven minutes apart, at 12.02pm and 12.09pm."

Jeff Herrera/NBC San Diego
A group of protesters attempted to enter the clerk's office in San Diego, August 19, 2010, but they were told they would only be allowed inside if they had an appointment.
A judge in San Diego has dismissed an entire jury panel in a case involving same-sex marriage activists, saying the prosecutors' rejection of a possible juror because of his sexual orientation violated the defendants' rights to a representative jury, local media reports say.
Superior Court Judge Joan Weber issued the ruling Tuesday after lawyers for the group of activists, known as the "Equality 9," challenged the rejection of the juror, who was gay and had protested in support of gay rights in the past, The San Diego Union-Tribune reported.
Defense attorneys said the juror's dismissal violated their clients' rights to a fair trial. But prosecutors said answers given on a questionnaire by the potential juror, including the past protest, were the reasons why he was let go, according to the Tribune. Assistant City Attorney Andrew Jones said the case was focused on the actions of the activists.
"That's all that this is about," Jones said. "It has nothing to do with same-sex marriage."
The judge said the prosecutors' actions were "shocking" and she was "heartbroken," according to the Tribune and NBCSanDiego.com.
Weber's decision to dismiss an entire jury panel was "fairly rare" and "doesn't happen every day," Scott Burns, executive director of the National District Attorneys Association, told msnbc.com.
He thought the prosecutors did not overstep their bounds.
"People get removed from juries all the time for all kinds of reasons," he said. "There was nothing shocking about them removing somebody who they believed could not be fair and impartial."
Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation (GLAAD) President Herndon Graddick disagreed.
"Attempting to exclude a group of people from participating in the legal process is un-American," he said, adding that many states -- though not California -- lack protections for gay jurors.
David Loy, legal director of the American Civil Liberties Union of San Diego & Imperial Counties, said "the judge clearly did the right thing."
"Jurors should not be excluded from service because of their sexual orientation any more so than they can be excluded because of race or gender," he told msnbc.com.
The group of defendants -- originally nine, but now six -- were charged with refusing to disperse and interfering with the business of a public agency for holding a long, sit-down protest in a hallway outside the county clerk's office on August 19, 2010, according to NBCSanDiego.com.
They had been protesting in support of a couple who had made an appointment to marry after U.S. District Judge Vaughn Walker overturned Prop. 8, California's same-sex marriage ban, and said the marriages could begin Aug. 18 of that year.
However, the county clerk would not certify same-sex marriages because Walker's ruling was set aside pending appellate review.
Of the nine protesters, three accepted a deal from the city attorney's office to plead no contest to an infraction, according to the Tribune. The lawyers will be in court early Wednesday to talk about the next steps in the case of the remaining six.

Head broke off on impact
By Huterman57
from Phelps, NY
About Me Expert Archer
Comments about Fred Eichler Phantom 4-Blade Screw-In Broadheads:
I shot a buck with this head tonight at 20 yards. The head broke off at the threads. Got no penetration at all after hitting the leg bone. The whole design of these heads is supposed to improve the ability to break bone and get penetration. Very dissapoointed. Has anyone else had this happen?
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Not exactly razor sharp
By cjrecurve
from Rifle, CO
The heads looked good and seemed to be well constructed. However, when I checked the main blades for sharpness only one side of one head was reasonably sharp. All other blades wouldn't cut paper cleanly. While I am not adverse to sharpening heads, when I pay over $[$] per broadhead and they are advertised as "razor sharp", that is what I expect to get. I like the new design but the quality control is lacking.

Which milk type should you feed?
By VICKY CARSON
My columns on bottle- vs. bucket-feeding calves piqued much interest in the dairy community (see accompanying sidebar). Inevitably, the conversations steered to one question. What should we be feeding our calves: whole milk, transition milk, treated/waste milk or milk replacer?
Before I jump into this topic, I feed fresh, whole, saleable Jersey milk to my calves. It's saleable raw milk from the bulk tank, or saved out of the milking system to feed calves.
Key Points
• Saleable whole raw milk may be the best liquid calf feed.
• Be extremely careful about using treated milk — even when it's pasteurized.
• Transition milk is a win-win for both the calf and the producer.
Pasteurization isn't an equalizer
Treated milk is that which isn't saleable because the cow has been treated with antibiotics or other meds that require withholding milk from the bulk tank. Transition milk is milk from fresh cows transitioning from colostrum to whole milk. The latter can also fit into the treated/waste milk category since it can contain antibiotic residues if that cow was dry-treated.
Treated milk seems like a free milk source, but should be used cautiously. It tends to have higher concentrations of bacteria, even after pasteurization. It may pose a significant disease risk.
It also tends to be less palatable than whole milk. A University of Illinois study found greater refusals with it compared to whole milk and milk replacer.
Feeding milk that contains antibiotics to calves that don't need antibiotics may destroy the natural flora of the gut. And that milk may set up the animal for an infection by resistant pathogens.
Pasteurizing treated milk can reduce risk. But it's not as effective as pasteurizing whole milk. On the other hand, a Minnesota experiment found that calves fed pasteurized treated milk grew faster, weaned earlier, weighed more at weaning, and had greater feed efficiency compared to calves fed commercial milk replacer.
It all comes down to this: Know your cows!
Those that are shedding bovine viral diarrhea or Johne's disease can infect all your calves. If there's any chance your cows are shedding pathogens that can infect calves, don't feed that milk.
The 'don't do' list
Here are five "don't dos," and the reasons why:
• Don't allow waste milk to sit at room temperature for extended periods. It can spike the microbial load tremendously.
• Don't use treated milk from the first milking after antibiotic treatment, especially after treating a quarter. This milk contains too much antibiotic, and is especially important if you're feeding bull calves before sending them to market.
• Don't use milk that's excessively bloody or appears unusual. This milk probably contains active pathogens and other "stuff" that might not be well-digested by a calf's sensitive system.
• Don't feed waste milk to group-housed calves. Group calves that suck on each other after drinking waste milk might infect each other with pathogens in treated milk.
• Don't feed milk from cows infected with E. coli or Pasteurella. These bacteria might still be in the milk and could possibly infect the calf's intestine.
So what about transition milk?
Transition milk, by itself, is an excellent liquid feed. It's cow's milk from the second milking after calving up to 72 hours later (three days).
Milk from the second and third milkings is especially valuable milk for very young calves. It has about one-third the antibody content of colostrum.
While these antibodies won't be absorbed into the calf's blood, they coat the small intestine. And they prevent pathogens from invading and destroying intestinal cells. Transition milk may also help the intestine adjust to changes in solids concentration in liquid feed, as calves move from colostrum to whole milk or milk replacer.
We're under rising public pressure to reduce use of feed-grade antibiotics. So, feeding milk from treated cows is hard to justify.
Stay tuned for next month's discussion of milk vs. milk replacer.
Carson and husband Steve partner in Harkdale Farms of Newbury, Vt. She's also a professor at Vermont Technical College.
Bottle babes versus bucket
June's "Start calves 'on the bottle' " article generated much interest. Labor costs and available time are big issues.
A couple of large herds (300 to 1,000 cows) in my area have been feeding bottles only (no bucket training at four weeks of age) for quite some time.
The calf feeders contend that the decrease in sick calves, and the time it takes to treat them plus the reduction in mortality, is definitely worth bottle feeding. Depending on what they use to treat calves — drugs, electrolytes, etc — costs can be significantly reduced.
If someone who feeds 100 calves a day could feed all bottles, it was worth me giving it a try. They also claim they can wean calves earlier, because of fewer incidents of illness and better growth rates in the first 6 to 8 weeks of life. Put that all together, and it seems likely that it's a wash between labor-efficient bucket feeding and healthy calves.
I'm not sure it takes that much more extra time, at least for me and my 20 calves. It still takes about an hour at both ends of the day to do a good job.
Keep in mind that we knew that the buckets used for milk and water were a source of Cryptosporidium scours exposure. When calves were trained to buckets between 4 and 5 weeks old, they didn't get crypto.
— Vicky Carson
up and HUNGRY: Liquid calf feed choices boil down to the health of the milk source.

My holy grail eyeliner. I can't use powdered or gel because I'm THAT UNCOORDINATED. This stuff goes on beautifully (I use the 'dot and smudge' technique for day; and draw a line for evening). This stuff is bombproof - great pigmentation, sharpens to a great point if you want a subtle look and the smudgy thingy at the end works beautifully -- even close to the inner corner of the eye. I used it every day during chemo to fake eyelashes and it did a great job. I've tried gels, liner pens and cake liner and some of these were high end products - this product beat them all.
This eyeliner is pigmented and creamy but it smudges really bad on me. :(
Love love love this eyeliner! Usually I use a liquid for my top lash line because I have hooded lids and liquid doesn't transfer, and then I use a pencil for my waterline. This works for both my top lash line and waterline. It doesn't transfer, it doesn't smudge, lasts all day, love it! And I love how smoothly it goes on. With liquid I find the brushes hard to control and I can't get a straight line but with this I get a perfect line every time.
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
I thought almost $9 was a bit pricy for a CG eyeliner pencil. It does go on smoothly, but it's the first eyeliner that has irritated my eyes as much as it did. It smeared but my eyes were watering quite a bit. I had to re-do my make up and wear my glasses to work that day. My eyes were far less red the next morning, but I think I'm done testing out new eyeliners for awhile.
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
I liked this product at first because the color glided on so smoothly and the smudger worked well. Three weeks later, I try to sharpen it with two different sharpeners and it just WILL NOT SHARPEN! At first I thought it was a twist-up because the pieces that peeled off looked like plastic. Then I realized the pencil just wouldn't fit into my sharpener snugly.
I read elsewhere online that a Covergirl 3-in-1 sharpener is recommended, but I really don't feel like using a pencil that requires a specific sharpener. I've used my 2 sharpeners for years and have never had a problem with other pencils.
More reviews by SparkleBunny37
Covergirl's Liquiline Blast pencils will help you "effortlessly create striking eyeliner looks with lasting, liquid-like intensity. High pigment formula and smudger work together to give you intense looking eyes that will get you noticed". This is supposed to be a waterproof eyeliner. Covergirl offers six shades, today I'm reviewing Blackfire, but I also have and love Green Glow. I was sent this eyeliner by Free Beauty Events in exchange for promoting their monthly giveaways. If you're interested in grabbing this eyeliner, it'll run you between $7-8 and can be bought at most drugstores and major retailers. Each Liquiline Blast eyeliner is smaller than your average pencil and contains 950mg (.33oz). This eyeliner was made in Germany. Unfortunately Covergirl does test their products on animals.
I like the packaging for the Liquiline Blast eyeliners. The cardboard backing this pencil comes in offers a fair bit of information, including a full ingredient list, product description, and directions, in English, French, and Spanish. The pencil it's self is made of black wood and is coated to be the same color as the product (that's not very obvious on Blackfire since..it's black). The name of the product and the Covergirl logo grace the pencil in silver lettering. Both the tip of the pencil and the smudger are covered by clear plastic caps that stay on quite well. The smudger, which is also black and made of a dense, stiff spongey material, is surprisingly functional, though I don't tend to use it very often. I'm just not much of a smudger.
Though Covergirl calls Liquiline Blast's formula liquid like, it's really more of a gel pencil. The formula is very similar to Urban Decay's 24/7 Glide On Pencils, I'd go as far as to call them a dupe. The texture is nice, soft and moderately creamy, it never tugs during application. I still don't think it's quite soft enough to use effortlessly on the upper lash line. Blackfire applies nicely to the waterline, gliding on comfortably. It lasts decently on the waterline, giving me 3-4 hours of wear. On the lash lines, it sticks around for about 7 hours. Wear is passable but not perfect. This isn't the eyeliner I would turn to on a work day. Covergirl's Liquiline Blast eyeliner smudges really well immediately after application, and sets after 20-30 seconds, so you get a reasonable amount of time to work with it. My disappointment with Blackfire, much like Urban Decay's Zero, is that this eyeliner isn't very dark. Blackfire is more of a soft black. This is definitely a pencil liner to look into if you don't want a harsh black liner, but still want something darker than a charcoal shade.
Covergirl's Liquiline Blast Eyeliner in Blackfire is good, but not great. A solid drugstore eyeliner and a budget friendly for the wildly popular and wildly expensive Urban Decay Zero. Packaging is nice. The texture is creamy and easy to work with. Wear could be a little better but it's not awful either. I wish Blackfire was just a touch darker, I'm not really into soft blacks, but that's a matter of personal preference. I won't repurchase Covergirl's Liquiline Blast in Blackfire. I have better black eyeliners. I will continue to use it though, and would repurchase the other shade that I have. I only recommend this pencil if you want a spot on dupe for Urban Decay's Zero.
This eyeliner is pretty great for the top of your eye. It stays on all day without smudging and the color never fades. It smudges a lot when used on the waterline though, but lasts a long time. The color is a very nice and dark black. I hate that is comes in pencil form because I feel like it wastes product when sharpened and the wood can stab your eye sometimes and make it water.

I don't use this in my water line I only line my top lashes and this is the best eyeliner I have used. Its even better than the Urban Decay. Its very dark, creamy and it's very easy to use and it lasts all day. Love it and I will repurchase

I bought this eyeline at a 50% off sale at Ulta, just on a whim. I've always used Covergirl's "perfect point plus" eyeliner in black and thought that this liquiline product looked like a smudgier version of it. I was really dissapointed with the results! The point is pretty wide, so I had trouble getting it right into my lashline, and it didn't give a good, clean line for the same reason. The smudging tip is a neat feature, and I ended up with fine results, but it was definitely not worth all the time it took! The nail in the coffin for this product was how difficult it was to wash off! I used my normal Philosphy Purity cleanser, which takes off all the makeup I ever use, and I still had horrible racoon eyes! It's kind of a "waxy" formula, so I guess it kind of adheres to the skin more than my normal pencil eyeliner, which is easy to get off. In short, I wouldn't recommend this product at all. I'm sticking with my covergirl perfect point plus!

I bought this eyeliner because of juicystar07 on youtube. I love it!! The color is so dark and the product is creamy and smudgable, but will not smudge if you do not want it to. It is affordable and lovely. I was heartbroken when I lost it, so I will be buying it again.

Rated 5 out of 5 by DebC Great Price This is a large spoon rest. I bought it because it was black to match my new black stove and at first thought it may be too big. However after using it for a couple of weeks, I realized it is large enough to hold more than one spoon which comes in handy. April 6, 2013

Basketball in Great Britain is apparently growing leaps and bounds and a group called the British Basketball Association is putting on a full court press to entice investors for a new pro league they hope to establish in the U.K. next year.
And they're seeking American dollars. With names like former NBA player and British born John Amaechi and former NFL wide receiver Lynn Swann on its management team, the BBL has stretched out the welcome mat in the U.S. by opening up an office in Lower Manhattan.
For $5 million, an investor or group of investors can get a 40 percent stake in one of the initial eight franchises in U.K cities like London, Liverpool, Glasgow, Leeds and Belfast. Venues for the games with at least a 5,000 seat capacity would be rented in those cities.
The BBA business model is a single entity, meaning that unlike the National Basketball Association or National Football League, investors or team owners would be subject to strict top-down controls by the league when it comes to major decisions on finances, players, contracts, merchandising and sales of teams.
The aim is to eventually become more like the NBA in terms of business structure, but the idea now is to get the league going and aim for more owner freedom down the road, said Ron Scott, BBA founder, chief executive and commissioner.
"We think this idea is a fantastic marketing opportunity and we need the stability that the this type of model give us," Scott said.
"With strict financial controls in place, especially in the early days, we can avoid the failure of other start up leagues," said the 48-year-old Scott, who is a native of Chicago and a former corporate financial adviser on Wall Street.
"An investor would have power without control," said Scott. "You can bring in a player or coach, but the league would have say over it. For instance, say he wants to bring in college players. That wouldn't be good and we wouldn't want that."
Scott said he's talked to NBA commissioner David Stern about the league and gotten an enthusiastic high-five from Stern, but there's no financial involvement from the NBA in the BBA.
The BBA hopes to be profitable in four years and grow to 12 teams in year five, said Scott. Until then, investor losses would be covered up to 60 percent by the BBA.
(Read More: NFL Salary Cap Increases to $123 million)
Helping to keep costs down is a total team player salary cap of $1.2 million — with the one designated player exception who could be paid the highest salary possible, but by the investor.
"There's no shortage of players in the U.K and Europe for us to draw from," Scott explained. "We might get some Americans to play but we're focused more on the player from England."
At least one analyst said the BBA is headed in the right direction.
(Read More: Guess Which Major Sport is Recession Proof)
"This is a good way to go for a start up league," said Robert Boland, academic chair of the Preston Robert Tisch Center for Hospitality, Tourism, and Sports Management at the New York University,
"The greatest danger to a start-up league is that one or two owners would have the resources to get better players, and that could just blow the other teams up financially as they tried to keep pace," Boland explained.
"With this set up, the BBA has a way of maintaining costs so that the league can be stable in the beginning and try to reach profitability," said Boland. "It makes sense to operate this way."
Any investor needs to make sure they do their due diligence, said Mark Conrad, professor of sports law at Fordham University.
"There's always risks in start-up sports leagues so just make sure you ask all the right questions and look into the things like British bankruptcy laws," Conrad said. "When it comes to anything international, you have to know who's in control, whether it's a sports federation or the league."
The BBA will have a fight on its hands to keep fan interest, said Boland.
(Read More: How College Players Could End Up Getting Paid Like Pros)
"We have four major sports in the U.S., but in England the sports pages are full of tennis, rugby, cricket, soccer and many others so it will be difficult to compete for a fan base," Boland said.
"You'll know you have loyal fans that come back when they remember how they feel about a loss or a win, not whether the beer they drank was good," argued Boland. "It takes time and that's why it's a tough fight to establish a new sports league."
Great Britain has an established pro basketball league, the aptly named British Basketball League started in 1987, which has franchises in most major English cities. The games draw crowds of just around 1,000 per contest and so it might seem like a stretch to try a new pro league, while Italy, Spain and Germany have more secure and established leagues that often draw high profile U.S. players.
But basketball is currently the second highest participation sport behind football (soccer to Americans) and the fourth highest participation sport across the ages of 11 to 16 years old in the U.K. That's enough for the BBA to build on, Scott said.
"Basketball is popular in Europe and getting more popular in Great Britain," said Scott. "Our goal is to make Great Britain the center of European basketball in the next five to ten years."

text:
Since the sexual revolution of the '60s, we tend to think that sexuality from the Baby Boomers back to the beginning of time was a long history of repressed urges, prudish fundamentalist restrictions and brutal rape politics.
But it turns out that a lot of what BBC dramas tell you about sex in history is just a fanciful cover for sex lives that didn't differ that much from our own. Myths that persist to this day include ...
#5. Victorians Were Repressed and Sexless
When you think about the Victorian era, you probably remember a whole bunch of jokes about how women couldn't show their ankles without it being considered indecent exposure. If they ever did have sex, they would first have to peel off so many layers of clothing that it almost wasn't worth it.
Queen Victoria is rumored to have told her daughter to "just lie back and think of England" when the princess was concerned about having to fulfill her wifely duties on her wedding night. There's even a myth that Victorians covered the legs of their tables because they resembled female flesh.
We can barely conceal our boners right now.
Frankly, we're surprised that the population of England didn't collapse after men got sick of sobbing their way through sex long enough to impregnate their wives.
The Reality:
It's true that Victorians weren't exactly into halter tops and assless pants. In public, that is. In private, they made up for it by producing extraordinary amounts of porn. And not just any porn, but the type of porn that would make the most seasoned Internet deviant blush and cover their table legs. We're talking incest, rape, pedophilia, orgies, BDSM ... and that's the normal stuff.
She has a dozen live eels stuffed under that corset. You know why.
Here's a taste from a piece published in 1907:
"Seeing her dressed you'd have taken her for thin, but she wasn't in the least. In fact if anything she was on the fleshy side. Her dark pubic hair, I noticed, climbed all the way up to her navel ... her nipples were set in a small field of light brown hair. Lifting her breasts, I saw that she also had some short, fine black hairs underneath. Her armpits were likewise covered with hair as thick as a man's. The sight of all this healthy fleece caused John Thomas to harden even more. I ripped off my nightshirt and straddled the lovely creature, whose rhythmic movements set my pickle slapping back and forth against her belly."
-From Memoirs of a Young Rakehell
Hidden Mysteries
Classy. As. Balls.
Alas, Victorians also left their table legs as bare as their marvelously hairy women: furniture-leg covers are a myth originally peddled, ironically, by an English travel writer demonstrating American prudishness to his British audience. As for the famous prudishness of Queen Victoria, not only is the "think of England" exchange untrue, but the Queen's diaries reveal she was extremely fond of sex, and often presented her husband with male and female nude artworks. Oh, and this is after those diaries were heavily censored posthumously by her children.
Are you picturing it? Are you picturing them boning?
So the Victorians weren't exactly Puritans. Then again, neither were the Puritans ...
#4. Puritans Were Puritanical
Every American schoolkid who has sat through a lesson on the history of Thanksgiving was told that the pilgrims who founded America were Puritans, a group of sexually repressed religious fanatics. In reality, the Puritans and the Pilgrims arrived separately but since that's the only context in which most of us have even heard of Puritans, we just mentally combined the pilgrims and the Puritans into a single group of people who loved turkey but loathed sex.
Sex with turkeys presented the ultimate conflict of interest.
But those early settlers in America were part of a much larger group in the Church of England who were working to purify the world of anything relating to genitalia.
The Reality:
Although sex between unmarried couples was theoretically a crime in Puritan society, that hardly slowed them down. It just meant that their society was rife with shotgun weddings. According to some studies, up to 1 in 3 Puritan women were pregnant when they were married. The odds of becoming pregnant from one act of intercourse are a lot lower than that, so that's a lot of deviant behavior for a group that cheerfully crushed people to death for looking "witchy."
Look close. Ain't no rings on those fingers.
Given that they lived in such a repressive and extremist society, these dangerous criminals must have carried out their illicit affairs with discretion, right? Not even close. The Puritans had sex everywhere. They had sex in churchyards. They had sex in ditches and in hedges. They had sex in bars and in bean patches and on porches. One of the most common places for Puritan servants to have sex was in the kitchen, often while the other servants watched.
It's not even like the clergy were uptight about a little action in the bedroom or bean patch. The Puritan church not only condoned sex for pleasure between married spouses, it actually required it. Sex was mandatory not only because it produced offspring, but because the Puritans believed that sexually pleasing one's spouse was a religious duty. At least one man was excommunicated from the Puritan church for refusing to have sex with his wife. Impotency or poor sexual performance was considered grounds for divorce, and a man was not to withdraw from his wife in case he ruined her orgasm.
"The frilly neck thing is to tickle her -- well, we don't talk about it."
So, how could the Puritans justify awesome sex for married couples but no sex for the unmarried? The Puritan church believed that because marriage was between a man, a woman and Jesus, sex should also be between a man, a woman and Jesus. This wasn't even a metaphor: The Puritan church sought converts by describing the "voluptuous delights" that awaited them in heaven with their "heavenly husband." Yeah, they're talking about sex with Jesus.
#3. Jews Had Sex Through a Sheet
This one turns up in supposedly accurate films all the time, and Christopher Hitchens rants about it as an example of religious crazy: Jews conduct the marital act by way of a hole cut in a bed sheet, so as to avoid the lustful distractions of nudity.
The story is so pervasive that whenever someone has occasion to discuss Jewish sex, you can be sure there's going to be some snide reference to it. They joke about it on Curb Your Enthusiasm. When it came time to write a book about the subject, they called it, "The Hole in the Sheet."
Even for that title, it has a surprisingly unsexy cover.
If the media is to be believed, Orthodox Jewish men must go their whole lives without ever seeing boobs in a sex-related context.
The Reality:
These kinds of references tend to be as much a learning experience for Orthodox Jews as they are to other people, since the Jewish community have always made love like normal, non-furry people: naked. In fact, Jewish law actually prohibits clothed or covered sex. This means that not only are movie portrayals of deliberate Jewish sheet-covering inaccurate, but that those love scenes in which the actress mysteriously leaves her bra on are actually a serious sin in the eyes of God. Well, that's how we choose to interpret it anyway.
Praise His glorious name!
But how on earth did such a specifically wacky myth start? The theory is that it arose from the tallit katan, a Jewish religious undergarment that does look a bit like a bed sheet with hole in it:
That thing actually goes over your head. But back in the day, non-Jewish people saw their Jewish neighbors washing or drying something with a hole in it and thought, "Wow, a penis must go there." Combine general anti-Semitism with the depthless perversion of the human imagination and you have the most oddly enduring penis-related myth since "It'll be OK just this once if we pull out."
We're trying to push "Sikhs do it with scepters."

Goldman Sachs opens at a 52-week high on its strong earnings report. But that's not what the Street is talking about.
The Street is talking about pay, not about the JPMorgan's "Whale Task Force," or net interest margin compression. It's about pay — tomorrow Goldman and Morgan Stanley hold their compensation communication day, when employees find out what their annual bonus will be.
The worry is that the new Morgan Stanley compensation package — based on deferred pay, essentially an IOU — will become the standard for the rest of Wall Street. If you haven't heard, Morgan Stanley announced that those making more than $350,000 a year will not collect the bonus immediately. This applies only to bonuses of $50,000 or more, but it's got the Street talking.
The ostensible purpose — that traders were likely to make less risky bets when they know the firm owes them money — is besides the point. Most traders I talked to believed the goal was to yoke employees to the company by not paying the full bonus up front.
Traders made as much at 60 percent to 70 percent of their overall pay from bonuses. Now, the figure is down ... way down. Let's say you make $250,000 in pay, plus a $250,000 bonus. Of that bonus, you make a third this year, a third next year, and a third in 2015. If you leave before that, you will likely lose it.
Will this hasten the exist to hedge funds? It certainly means New York will have far less money to spread around from traders spending their bonuses. On downpayments for apartments. On cars. On restaurants.
1) Lots of chatter about this headline: "Germany looks to repatriate gold." Is it a sign that the Bundesbank no longer trusts other central banks? That the Bundesbank is unhappy with the fiscal irresponsibility of Washington?
(Read More: Germany Wants Its Gold Back—Should You Worry?)
This is one the hawks love to talk about. The simple answer is that the gold was stored in the U.S. by Germany during the Cold War because of fear of the Soviet invasion. That threat has long since gone away.
Another answer is that it's expensive — London, for example, reportedly charges 500,000 euros a year to store the gold, which can be held in a small room.
The final answer is, It is not repatriating that much. Germany has the second largest gold holdings in the world after the U.S. About 45 percent of the holdings are in New York, 31 percent are in Frankfurt, London has 13 percent, and Paris has 11 percent as of Dec. 31, 2012.
Germany is looking to reduce the 45 percent holdings in New York to 37 percent, and Paris to zero. That would bring the German's gold supply to about 50 percent in Frankfurt. Hardly a wholesale rush home.
2) This cheerful comment from ISI on the debt ceiling negotiations: "We doubt a comprehensive deficit reduction bill, or Grand Bargain, will pass Congress, and investors ought to assume the U.S. is headed for downgrades by all three of the major credit rating agencies one way or the other."

Marketing Strategy
Here's a simple idiom with potentially profound implications: Don't bite off more than you can chew. Whether applied to eating steak, making personal commitments or managing commodity price risk, ignoring this advice can result in unwanted or even disastrous consequences.
I'm reminded of this phrase when I hear from farmers who've had bad experiences with marketing. Much of the time, those experiences can be traced back to doing too much at once. That's a problem you can easily solve.
Let's define "doing too much at once." In this context, it refers not to the amount of production committed or contracts purchased. Rather, it has to do with engaging in marketing without committing the time necessary to see things through.
It would be like rushing through training for a marathon. You'd be sore. You might feel like stopping or quitting altogether. It wouldn't matter if you had run races before or were completely new to it. If you tried to do too much at once, you'd risk injury and pain.
For those of you who have been around the block with marketing as well as to those who haven't yet started, what if you tried committing to consistent marketing? What if you took a percentage of your production – 10 percent or 100 percent, you decide – and treated it like a marathon?
Decisions would be made with the far-off finish line in mind: your weighted average price (WAP). WAP is the value of priced bushels, un-priced bushels assigned the current market value, and hedge positions. It is a means for you to measure the quality of your marketing decisions. Getting an accurate measurement requires a commitment to consistent marketing over time.
Short-term results would have less emotional impact. If you sold corn today at $5 and saw it rally to $5.25, you'd still be around to see it drop to $4.50. That's a hypothetical scenario. The point is that the market is always going to move, and one decision – good or bad – doesn't tell the whole story.
If you've had a bad experience with marketing or no experience at all, I encourage you to start slowly and work your way up. Pace yourself. Develop some simple strategies and maintain the discipline to execute them.
If you start small and stay consistent, you may not see big results. However, you will learn, and there's great value in learning what marketing can do for you. Not to mention, you'll learn more about yourself.
Are you the type of person with the stick-to-itiveness so necessary to becoming satisfied with your marketing? As we enter what could be a period of lower volatility, now could be a great time to get yourself to the starting line.

An article in Entrepreneur magazine this summer caught my eye with the headline "Timing is everything." I liked the secondary heading even better: "A record-high stock market exposes the suckers. Don't be one of them."
By this time I was smiling, and of course, interested in reading on. The article was written by J.D. Roth, who founded a finance blog at getrichslowly.org and authored a personal finance book. I also find the website address worth noting. While marketing is not a means to get rich, the word "slowly" has merit. Great marketers focus on building a strong weighted average price for their production over time.
In this article Roth emphasizes the old mantra "buy low, sell high" – which is advice everyone has heard, though not necessarily followed. Case in point: Roth notes that with the stock market climbing, many who sat on the sidelines the last few years are getting back in and doing just the opposite – buying high. Roth minces no words in his article, saying: "Wall Street has a word for these people: suckers."
So why do people not follow the advice that's been around forever? In a word, it's emotion.
I have written often about the need to avoid emotion in your marketing. While it's easier said than done, once you learn to be disciplined and not allow emotion to influence your decisions, your marketing can go to the next level.
Roth puts it this way: To make money in the market, remove the human element from the equation. He provides several examples in his article on ways to remove the "human element" that apply to marketing. Here are two that I particularly liked:
Don't Follow. He says, "If you do what everyone else is doing, you're likely to get burned." I encourage you to be the contrarian he's talking about. When everyone is bullish, find a reason to be bearish – without going to extremes.
All the time we get asked what the consensus is among producers, are they selling or not? If we say that everyone wants to sell, they respond by saying they want to sell too. That's the worst way to reach a decision. If you find everyone is selling corn, it's probably time for you to buy.
In most years, corn producers are not as far sold as they hoped to be by summer. As prices continue to slide, they hope for a rebound and begin building a consensus as to why prices can bounce back. A contrarian might sell into that weakness – rather than sell later, after prices have gone down long and far.
Consider this additional potential: When prices are weakest, your neighbor is hesitant to upgrade equipment, and rents are attractive, those who did a great job of marketing can take advantage of lower rents and sales on equipment.
Stick With It. The market will go through dramatic swings; history has shown us that. Emotionally you must be prepared for those swings. Be ready by pre-planning your strategies and knowing well in advance what you're going to do when the market does its thing. Then, when the storms hit, stick with your decisions. Don't be swayed by the news of the moment.
I'll end with a quote from Curtis Faith, a Chicago trader who turned a few thousand dollars into a fortune of over $200 million in the early 1980s: "Human emotion is both the source of opportunity in trading and the greatest challenge. Master it and you will succeed. Ignore it at your peril." This same thinking applies to your marketing.
In the second part of his two-part blog on lenders and marketing, guest blogger Mike Hogan, commercial analyst with Stewart-Peterson Inc., shares comments from ag lenders who participated in a simulated marketing activity.
This spring, I had a unique opportunity to help lenders experience what it's like to be in the shoes of a producer making marketing decisions. Through a farm marketing simulation activity that Stewart-Peterson created, lenders attending the trade show at the Wisconsin Banking Association's Ag Lenders Conference in mid-April had the opportunity to market one month's worth of milk production for a 400-head dairy and one month's purchases of soymeal.
To help participants experience the risk that occurs in the real world, the activity included three pricing periods and as the market moved (within the three periods) each participant's weighted average price, or WAP, also moved. We call the simulation What's Your WAP? and I explained more about it and which marketing strategies faired best in this recent blog post "Simulation activity underscores the difference strategic marketing makes"
In visiting with lenders who participated in the simulation, many agree that the experience gave them great perspective – both in better understanding the market and in grasping the emotional factors that influence decision making.
Jason Lindeman, vice president and agricultural loan officer at AbbyBank in Abbotsford, Wis., valued the exercise because it required making decisions and showed the outcome from those decisions.
Jason shared with me that he liked the tangible learning experience What's Your WAP? offered compared to simply talking about "what if" scenarios. "The exercise definitely gives participants a better understanding of the impact of your trades made," he said.
Because of this Jason added, "I think producers hesitant on buying into marketing would be more likely to market their milk and feed after doing a simulation like this."
As well, Jason said the marketing activity demonstrates how important planning and consistency are in marketing. "It's important to have – and remember – your plan in marketing and not get too greedy when the opportunity is there to meet your marketing objective."
Brad Guse, vice president and agricultural banking officer with BMO Harris Bank in Marshfield, Wis., also found value in the activity.
Interestingly, it was Brad's suggestion about a year ago that prompted us to develop What's Your WAP? He wanted to see something developed that would help lenders "practice what they preach" and give them a chance to experience what it's like to make marketing decisions and see the results.
Of his experience with What's Your WAP? Brad told me, "It certainly put us in the producer's shoes. We felt the emotions and angst that goes along with making decisions and pulling the trigger."
Because new market information was shared with participants in each of the three trading decisions, Brad said he also felt the pressure of having to make relatively quick decisions, and he admitted he's now more cognizant you don't always have enough time to make the best decisions.
For me, this really underscores the importance of pre-planning marketing. Marketers who know what they're going to do in advance if the market goes up a little or a lot, or down a little or a lot avoid having to make difficult decisions in the heat of the moment. Emotional decisions often turn out poorly.
I asked Brad if he was surprised to learn that those marketers who were active, but not too aggressive, ended up with the best weighted average price (WAP) for both milk and soymeal in the end. He said he wasn't – and compared it to the tortoise and the hare. "Steady and consistent is important in risk management. That's the lesson. You don't want a strike out that takes you out of business."
I couldn't agree more. Marketing is a marathon, not a sprint. There are no shortcuts
that yield long-term success.

Guest blogger Mike Hogan, commercial analyst with Stewart-Peterson Inc., shares what happened when a group of agricultural lenders participated in a simulated marketing activity.
A well-known proverb suggests "There's no substitute for experience." I think that's a statement most of us can agree with.
Unfortunately, gaining experience – especially in the marketing realm – can sometimes be a costly endeavor if you don't understand all the aspects and alternatives available.
It was that premise that prompted Stewart-Peterson to create a farm marketing simulation activity called "What's Your WAP?" – with WAP standing for weighted average price.
Weighted average price is the net average price received over time for all of your milk production (or paid out for feedstuffs). It is calculated by averaging the value of priced milk per cwt., the value of un-priced production assigned the current market value, and the value of any milk with hedge positions. Averaging these values is important, because the price you receive for your production at any given point in time might be higher or lower than the current market price. It should be your goal to make strategic and incremental sales (or feed purchases) that build the best possible weighted average price for all your production long term.
The simulation allows participants to make milk and soymeal trades in a fictitious market setting. To truly mimic the risk that occurs in the real world, the activity includes three pricing periods, and as the market moves (within the three periods) each participant's WAP moves. At the end of the activity, participants can compare WAPs with one another and determine how they did.
In short, this simulation provides a great opportunity to gain some practical marketing experience without the risk of real dollars on the line.
I was part of a Stewart-Peterson team that debuted the "What's Your WAP?" activity during the trade show at the Wisconsin Banking Association's Ag Lenders Conference in mid-April. The event draws approximately 120 bankers from over 60 banks and is the only bank-focused agriculture conference in Wisconsin.
Bankers who participated in "What's Your WAP?" were told they owned a 400-cow dairy with an annual production of 12 million pounds of milk. Using futures prices and option premiums, they were charged with marketing one month's production of milk (1 million pounds) and managing one month's expected purchases of soymeal (40 tons). Futures contracts were offered, which replicates the pricing activity of a cash sale or forward contract. Cash sales and forward contracts were not allowed since those positions cannot be offset.
The Results?
The response to this marketing simulation activity was overwhelmingly positive. We had more than 100 of the 120 attendees participate and actively engage in marketing their milk and feed. They were asking questions, competing with their fellow bankers, and working hard to improve their marketing.
This was a real opportunity for bankers to stand in the shoes of a producer, make marketing decisions and experience the outcomes of those decisions.
Among the participants in the simulation, we found that 70% beat the market average by using futures or options.
The table below shows the WAP for milk and soymeal. Those participants who were actively managing positions during the three pricing periods finished with a higher WAP for milk than those participants who did nothing.
For this simulation, lenders who took the market average for soymeal got the best price. However, it is also important to note that those who took the market average in milk got the worst price. Notice that the lenders who made pricing decisions for both milk and soymeal in two pricing periods did quite well. Overall, those lenders had the best WAP for both milk and soymeal.
In reviewing the results, it becomes evident that marketing has a "sweet spot" in the middle. If you do too little or are too overly aggressive and border on speculative activity, it can result in a diminished return. For this simulation, those who hedged were 2% better off across all price scenarios than those who engaged in speculative activity.
Marketing can be thought of like applying herbicides to your crops. You need to apply some, but doing three or four times the recommended rate can be detrimental. You need to find the middle ground.
From this activity, I believe two take home messages are clear.
· First, marketing does make a difference as opposed to doing nothing and accepting the average price. Great marketers manage milk and feed to get the best possible WAP for both over the long haul. By building the best possible price for milk and feed individually, you are also incrementally building the best possible margin for yourself.
· Second, we can conclude that marketing decisions can't be a "one and done" deal to achieve the best results. In order to capitalize on every opportunity the market offers, you need to make incremental decisions that gradually build the best possible WAP for milk and feed. The key is being consistent and planning for the long-term.
Producers who consistently engage in marketing to build a strong WAP over time can minimize the unwanted highs and lows in the marketplace and remove the volatility from their revenue and expenses. Consistent marketers won't always capture the best price, but they position themselves to also avoid painful losses. Think of it as building a financial cushion for the really tough years.
While this exercise was a simulation, it was also a realistic opportunity for participants to examine what great marketing looks like and the strategic focus that is so necessary. Our team at Stewart-Peterson can offer "What's Your WAP?" as a free, educational activity to other groups as well. Contact me if you are interested.
No business owner likes the thought of higher interest rates. But rate hikes and inflation are not something to be ignored – and both are a very real threat that I see looming on the horizon for dairy operations and all businesses.
At the pace that the Federal Reserve is printing money – more so than at any other time in history, the likelihood of having higher interest rates down the road is really high.
Surprisingly, in my conversations with dairy producers who have expansion plans, many have not really thought about the impact or risk of higher rates that are likely to be present 10 years from now when those loans come up for renewal. This is something to pay close attention to and plan for, especially if you're considering expansion plans any time in the next 10 years.
During my visits with dairy producers at the beginning of the year, I noted that about a quarter of them had no expansion plans; a quarter of them planned to update facilities but not expand; a quarter of them planned to expand moderately by adding a few hundred cows; and the rest of them had significant expansion plans.
This is drastically different from five years ago when 80% of the dairy operations I visited had plans to double or triple their herd sizes within a couple of years.
Whatever stage you are in with regard to expansion, just be very cognizant that rates are low now and are likely going up.
Consider this scenario: A dairy producer takes out a 10-year, $3 million expansion loan with a 20-year amortization. It has a fixed rate and a balloon after 10 years.
What happens when the loan comes due 10 years from now if there's still $1-2 million in principle due on the loan and interest rates are at 8% instead of 3%?
Well, all of a sudden the dairy operation that's been doing well the last 10 years and looked like it was totally profitable finds itself completely incapable of servicing its debt and could be out of business in a blink.
That said, you would be wise to analyze your expansion plans for the next 10 to 20 years. You might consider coming up with several different "what if" scenarios; at Stewart-Peterson we call this Market Scenario Planningsm. Brainstorming in this manner gives you a chance to evaluate and strategize how your operation might prepare for the future – especially if interest rates start to climb.
Plan ahead and make sure you are not in a position where you need to borrow money when the rates are high – because if you have to borrow expensive money, you may end up out of business. My advice is to borrow all the money you want at cheap rates and absolutely have that money paid off at the end of the fixed term.

Love. This. Place.
This bright sleek room offers up their award-winning cured meats as well as splendid small plates and entrées. Order a meat board with chorizo, capicola & mortadella to start but don't miss the endive salad, braised short ribs, or octopus with fried potatoes in squid-ink vinaigrette.
Be sure to grab a hand roll of their housemade charcuterie to go!
The industrial neighborhood is quickly becoming known as a foodie hot spot, one of those reasons is Olympic Provisions. Sate your hunger with a meaty sandwich and leave with some packaged salami to keep the jealous coworkers at bay.
Portlanders don't lack for a wide variety of exceptional brunches, but the weekend morning fare at this charcuterie palace takes the cake. The pancake, to be exact. The feathery light house pancakes are nothing short of ethereal, and the dab of orange butter on top coupled with the absence of a grueling wait might have you seeing OP's brunch exclusively.
Not only to they make their own meats, I've now seen their products in other coffee shops/venues. They're really nice and everything is top quality. If you're not vegetarian, this is the place for you. Also stylish people-watching.
The sign says MEAT – The sign says meat, so that's what we got. My roommate ordered the salami sandwich and I got 2 orders of the pork rillette. The rillette had a great flavor and a good consistency and worked well inside the pastry. We also ordered the charcuterie plate which was also really good. I wish I could remember what all the items were but I was way too into how good everything tasted for my brain to work.
One Bad Egg – I have since received an email from the proprietors who assure me the person below does not work for them. I guess she was just an obnoxious drunk who in some way felt a part of their win. She definitely ruined my evening and the jury is still out on the state of my dress.
I liked Olympic Provisions when I visited. Unfortunately, my favorable opinion changed when I went to Cochon 555. The food was good and they made good use of the pig, but the employees showed a true lack of grace when they won. One woman in particular shouted and jumped up and down spilling red wine all over my dress. Now I know she was excited so I tried to remain calm and told her she should be more careful. She told me to " get over it it's a festival and besides... I look like this (gesturing at her overall physique)" She was in no way apologetic for her behavior and that has soured me on this place. Any establishment that hires people with such poor manners should be concerned because I am sure this will carry over to their restaurant.

Officers, Firefighters and former members of Engine 254/Ladder 153 and Engine 276/Ladder 156, along with Battalions 33 and 42, will hold its 35th Annual Memorial Mass in memory of six Firefighters who died as a result of the fire on August 2, 1978 at a Waldbaums Supermarket in Brooklyn, on Friday, August 2, 2013 at 10:30 a.m. A uniformed procession will precede the mass.
On August 2, 1978, at about nine in the morning and about half-an-hour into an effort to extinguish a fire at 2892 Ocean Avenue in Brooklyn, 12 FDNY Members – Firefighters and Officers – were plunged into a smoldering Waldbaums Supermarket when the center of the roof collapsed. The store's secondary, ornamental ceiling had concealed the fire's extent, and with the collapse the response was escalated to a Fifth-Alarm – eliciting hundreds to the location for rescue and recovery efforts.
Six FDNY Members perished in the line-of-duty and 36 others were injured in the conflagration. Those who perished were: Lieutenant. James E. Cutillo of Battalion 33; Firefighters James P. McManus and George S. Rice of Ladder 153; Firefighters Charles S. Bouton and William O'Connor of Ladder 156; and Firefighter Harold Hastings of Battalion 42. The fire was ultimately determined to be the result of arson.

The Lawyer's Guide to Adobe Acrobat
The Lawyer's Guide to Adobe Acrobat,
Third Edition was written to help lawyers increase productivity, decrease costs, and improve client services by moving from paper-based files to digital records. This updated and revised edition focuses on the ways lawyers can benefit from using the most current software, Adobe® Acrobat 8, to create Portable Document Format (PDF) files.
PDF files are reliable, easy-to-use, electronic files for sharing, reviewing, filing, and archiving documents across diverse applications, business processes, and platforms. The format is so reliable that the federal courts' Case Management/Electronic Case Files (CM/ECF) program and state courts that use LexisNexis File & Serve have settled on PDF as the standard. According to expert author David L. Masters: "More than 27 million cases are on CM/ECF systems, and more than 200,000 attorneys and others have filed documents via the Internet."
The latest version of Acrobat has a number of useful features for the legal professional, including Bates numbering and redaction. Users can even export all correspondence from Microsoft Outlook, covert it to a PDF file and then associate the files with the appropriate client, making it simple to find what you need right away. You can also turn all those boxes of paper files into "space-saving" secure PDF files by using Acrobat and a scanner.
You'll learn how to:
Create PDF files from a number of programs, including Microsoft Office
Use PDF files the smart way
Markup text and add comments
Digitally, and securely, sign documents
Extract content from PDF files
Create electronic briefs and forms

What Your Colleagues are Saying
"The definitive book on using Adobe Acrobat in the law office just got better. The third edition improves an already great resource. The newest features are covered in detail. It's nice to have a single resource that covers a topic so thoroughly and that doesn't require a degree in computers to understand. This is the one and only book you need to use Acrobat in a law office. Although it is geared specifically for lawyers, it is probably the best book on Acrobat for any user in any office." --
Andrew C. Simpson, Solo Practitioner, U.S. Virgin Islands
"The very first thing I did when I got home was to sit down and read your book, cover to cover, in one sitting. As I'm already very familiar with Acrobat, the read took only an hour or two. The very next thing I did was to get online and order a duplex color scanner to replace my old clunker of a flat bed. The revolution has begun!" --

What else is there that the Obama administration is so desperate to keep quiet that it will take on leakers with a virulence unmatched by any modern White House?
John Judis comments:
The trial itself should never have taken place. The military should have accepted Manning's admission of guilt last February. In my opinion, he had already served long enough, and suffered sufficiently under brutal conditions, to pay for violating his trust as a soldier in military intelligence.
