I am trying to modify the class-wc-tax.php to support some states where tax is only on items costing more than $175 per item.
I have this working but only on single items. If someone adds two items that are $100 each so $200-175=25 it then taxes the extra $25 and thinks it is a single item.
My plan is to get the individual product quantity and divide that by the total price of quantity.
Example: Added two $100 items to cart, I want to get the quantity of this which is 2, take the total which is 200/2 = 100.
The only quantity I can get is the total cart quantity. Anyone know if it is possible to get the cart product/item quantity.

Monitoring to Conserve Midwestern Birds
Based on results from long-term monitoring programs, aerial insectivores (e.g., swifts, swallows, flycatchers) are receiving increasing conservation attention. Several species seem to be undergoing precipitous, wide-spread declines, and long-distance migrants seem to be declining more acutely than short-distance migrants (Nebel et al. 2010). This working group is dedicated to coordinating conservation of monitoring throughout the region and with other partners across the annual cycle for species of concern.
Members: 14
Latest Activity: Oct 16, 2015
The following resources are intended to provide additional information and background about the decline in aerial insectivore populations and the need for swift (no pun intended) conservation action:
1) Aerial Insectivore Species of Greatest Conservation Need in the Midwest (May 2015)
2) Issue Paper: Pesticides and Birds: Members of the Issues Committee of the Wisconsin Bird Conservation Initiative (WBCI) have prepared a series of "Issues Papers" to provide information for WBCI partners and the public. These documents contain an overview of of the topics and sections covering WBCI Goals, Research Findings in Wisconsin and Elsewhere, Recommended Actions, Additional Research Needs, Links, and Additional Literature.
3) Aerial Insectivore Monitoring Protocols
5) Aerial Insectivore Priorities (November 6, 2012): The attached spreadsheet alerts us to the relative priority for Midwest aerial insectivores based on the Birds of Conservation Concern (USFWS 2008), Joint Venture focal species planning, Species of Greatest Conservation Need from state wildlife action plans, and Partners in Flight Species Assessment Database (Panjabi et al. 2012).

Prime Minister Shinzo Abe has decided not to visit the war-linked Yasukuni Shrine on the anniversary Thursday of Japan's surrender in World War II, sources close to him said Wednesday, apparently out of concern that his visit would further worsen ties with China and South Korea.
But Abe will instead make a ritual offering to the Shinto shrine in Tokyo, the sources said, in a move that would make an appeal to his conservative supporters but is also likely to trigger criticism from those neighboring countries, which suffered from Japan's wartime brutality.
Abe has refused to comment on whether he would visit the shrine on the anniversary of its surrender in 1945. Yasukuni enshrines convicted Class-A war criminals along with Japan's war dead.
But he told reporters last week, "I haven't changed my mind," in reference to his desire to keep paying respects to those who sacrificed their lives for the state during the war.
The premier has also said he would not instruct his ministers either to visit or not to visit the shrine. A few Cabinet members have suggested they will make a visit Thursday, including Keiji Furuya, state minister in charge of North Korea's past abductions of Japanese nationals, and administrative reform minister Tomomi Inada.
Deputy Prime Minister Taro Aso, who sparked criticism from Beijing and Seoul by visiting Yasukuni in April, has indicated he will not go this time.
Past visits by prime ministers and lawmakers to the shrine, seen as an act of glossing over Japanese past militarism, have drawn outcries most notably in China and South Korea. In both countries, sentiment toward Japan has deteriorated amid criticism over the historical perceptions of some lawmakers as well as territorial rows.
Given the prospect that Abe will not visit Yasukuni on Thursday, Chinese government sources welcomed the decision not to cross the "red line."
But Chinese state media unfavorably reported about the possibility for Abe to make a ritual offering to Yasukuni. He "will offer a sacrifice to the notorious shrine," Xinhua News Agency said.
Abe is expected to offer a sacred tree branch to the shrine, paying out of his own pocket as head of the ruling Liberal Democratic Party, not as prime minister.
He made a similar offering in the shrine's spring festival in April 2007 under the name of prime minister. But Abe did not visit Yasukuni during his first stint as premier in the year through September 2007, an omission he later described as "extremely regrettable."
He was then trying to improve ties with China and South Korea, damaged by the Yasukuni visits by his predecessor Junichiro Koizumi, who made a visit every year while in office from 2001 to 2006.
Abe increasingly suggested a desire to visit Yasukuni after taking office for the second time last December, and dedicated a potted tree to the shrine in April as an offering for the spring festival.
He has kept the neighbors nervous about his views on Japan's history by pursuing policies that could be taken as a shift to the right, including potential revision of the country's pacifist Constitution to enhance its defense capabilities.
The stance has even prompted the United States, Japan's key ally, to express its desire that Abe not cause any escalation in tensions in Asia, according to Japanese government sources.

In every athlete's life, there is a moment that determines what they are all about. It isn't just their legacy at stake in this moment, nor is it how they'll be viewed. It's more than that. It's the moment that defines them, and most athletes who reach that superstar, one-of-the-greatest-of-his/her-generation's level see that moment coming and embrace it.
And because of that embrace, they fail. They don't get what they wanted out of the moment. They don't get what their careers need.
So those moments are not to be embraced; they are to be seized. Those who don't seize them when they arrive regret it for the rest of their careers, and often for the rest of their lives.
Dirk Nowitzki had that moment in 2006, and embraced it. Dwyane Wade, on the other hand, seized it at the same time. And for five seasons now, Nowitzki has been waiting, wondering whether the moment will ever come again for him. One disappointing and uninspired playoff appearance after another began to take a toll. Not on him, necessarily, but certainly on his legacy. And finally, after five years of living in what used to be called Peyton's Place (which is where the Indianapolis Colts' Peyton Manning seemed to reside until he finally won a Super Bowl, a place that creates questions about whether a superstar has the heart to win a title), the moment has returned for Nowitzki.
The question is: Has he finally learned how to seize it?
The experts -- from Charles Barkley on TNT to Chris Broussard on ESPN's "First Take" -- are saying that Nowitzki, without question, has been the best player in these playoffs. He's been playing at a level that makes it impossible to argue or disagree. Stephen A. Smith went so far as to say that Dirk, at this moment, is "the best white player since Larry Bird."
But the glaring difference between Nowitzki and Bird is staring him in the face right now. It isn't just that Bird has three rings to Nowitzki's zero; it's Bird's ability to put a choke hold on a series and make another team wilt under the impact of his play.
The Dallas Mavericks have sneaked up on everyone in the past few weeks. Their dismantling and dethroning of the Lakers will be talked about for years. Nowitzki versus Pau Gasol was Hakeem Olajuwon versus David Robinson circa the 1995 Western Conference finals. But unless Dirk has it in him to take the Mavs to another level, and then another level, everything he has done thus far to put himself back in front of this moment -- where he can erase the stigma that is a large part of his past -- will mean nothing.
Essentially, Nowitzki has more pressure on him to win a ring right now than LeBron James does. A claim that applies to no other player on the four teams left alive.
Not trying to overstate or overexaggerate, but the Mavericks-Thunder Western Conference finals -- which begin Tuesday night in Dallas (ESPN, 9 p.m. ET) -- are the official beginning of how the rest of Nowitzki's career will unfurl. It isn't "Now or never." It's "Now or Oh well, you are who we thought you were."
Which, right now, is this: A player who at times was the best in the game but who didn't have the (fill in the blank) to will postseason victories. A player who could average 28 points a game in the conference finals, as he did against Phoenix in 2006, but couldn't seize both twice-in-a-lifetime moments when they came. In the NBA Finals against Wade and Miami five years ago, Dirk averaged 22.8 points, and the Mavs lost in six games.
Because, although stats and facts don't lie, they rarely tell the whole story. And Nowitzki's moment right now, beginning with this series against the Thunder, is all about what he can do to prove that the already-finished chapters of his career aren't the whole story.
Some will read this column and say that for Dirk's career, it's not that serious. They'll say he doesn't need to prove anything more than he already has. They'll claim that regardless of what happens in this series or the next, regardless of those outcomes, Nowitzki will go down as one of the greatest players we will ever see play this game.
But I'll say what many of us know to be true for him at this moment: "That is simply not enough."

Kinky Malinki Valentines Party: Tristan Ingram + Grant Nalder
"Valentine's is a funny old time of the year. Often a time when most men try a little harder and buy token gifts for the women in their lives. Here at Kinky Malinki we like to celebrate it in an unconventional way - On the dancefloor. Controversial? Possibly, but if you're loved up or not there have been a lot of you who've shared our thought process over the years, as our Valentine's event has historically been our most popular party of the year. Love may well be in the air, but hands will be also."

The Monuments Men
- Studio: Columbia Pictures
- Release Date: Feb 7, 2014
Critic Reviews
- Critic score
- Publication
- By date
This is their story. It is true. It is history. As a film, it is riveting, suspenseful, harrowing and exciting, and somehow, it also manages to be something rare among war pictures—a big-scale entertainment.
The film depicts a treasure hunt, only in the sense that the movie has to have a running story. But it doesn't really trade on suspense or adventure, and in the few places Clooney pushes it that way, it doesn't feel right.
Except possibly for a superlative supporting performance by Hugh Bonneville of "Downton Abbey,'' Clooney's low-key directorial effort is not quite an Oscar-caliber movie, though it's got a great cast, a worthy theme and plenty of things to reward adult moviegoers.
If you're worried that the re-teaming of Clooney and Cate Blanchett in a World War II movie signals something like "The Good German," fear not: She's better here, playing a French art historian who worries the Americans will "rescue" the art in order to steal it for their own country.
Who knew? The work of the Monuments Men is fresh territory for film, and Clooney builds the story with intriguing detail and scope.
Rather than juicing each element to blockbuster volume, Clooney has delivered it in the tone of a memorial lecture, warm and ambling, given by one of the distinguished academics he put in his movie.
The Monuments Men fails in its grand ambitions, but it's still satisfying in bits and pieces, like a busted statue. Even a tribute made of shining fragments counts for something.
It's a graceful, engaging film — I enjoyed it. But it could have been called "The Tasteful Dozen."
Turns out it was even trickier than originally imagined and that for all of its best efforts, The Monuments Men remains an unwieldy, overtly sentimental (but still emotionally distant) epic.
Certainly, the story told by The Monuments Men is worth telling and it's easy to see why a luminary like Clooney would be sufficiently attracted to want to direct it. Unfortunately, this treatment, written by Clooney and long-time collaborator Grant Heslov, isn't the best fit.
The Monuments Men often lets the schematic gears show, succumbing to threadbare formula and sentimental cliches rather than taut, sophisticated drama.
Clooney, for the first time in his directing career ("Good Night, and Good Luck," "The Ides of March") never finds the sweet spot, and never quite wrestled the script into a shape entertaining enough to make the liberties he and Heslov took with the facts worth it.
There's great repartee between its cast of this "based on a true [but forgotten] story" of World War II. Yet the film overall isn't colorful enough.
It comes down to a matter of tone, and Clooney can't really settle on one. The Monuments Men is in no way a bad movie. Just, with this bunch, a disappointing one.
Clooney occasionally shows a surer hand: He gets great work from Downton Abbey's Bonneville — notably in an emotionally charged scene revolving around Michelangelo's Madonna of Bruges — and has a fine monologue himself, in which Stokes dresses down a high-ranking German commander (a moving encapsulation of the American spirit at its best).
Monuments certainly isn't unbearable to watch, but for all its quality pedigree and good intentions, the result is a frustratingly flat film that drifts from moment to moment with a curious lack of urgency and an overbearing sense of self-importance.
Mostly it's hamstrung by an abundance of reverence and dialogue sounding like an art studies syllabus when it isn't rehashing war movie tropes.
Smothered by its lighthearted approach, The Monuments Men attempts to make a grand statement about the valiance of dying for the sake of art, but fails to create it.
Alas, it's a throwback that's thrown its back out - limping along, trailed by battalions of stereotypes and ammo rounds of cliche.
By the film's end, one can't help thinking that the story would be better served by a well-researched documentary on the real-life MFAA division (monuments, fine arts and archives.)
It can be nice to spend time with these actors even when you don't believe their characters for a single second, and there's no denying this movie's easy pleasures... Yet because Mr. Clooney can't figure out what kind of story this is, he too often slips into pandering mode.
It's a great story, and much of it's true. This should work like a pip. Instead, The Monuments Men is a tonal mishmash: Half "Hogan's Post-Doctoral Heroes," half "Saving Private Rembrandt," and half "Ingres's 11." That's three halves, so you can see the problem.
In The Monuments Men, director George Clooney takes a wild, stranger-than-fiction true story and turns it into a dull, prestigious slog.
George Clooney's film boils a big, messy maelstrom of theft and uncertainty down to a digestible, faintly appetizing mush.
The Monuments Men feels not just self-conscious but also a bit self-congratulatory, its creator squashing the spirit of adventure with too many grandiose lines about the Importance Of Art.
Ultimately, however, this film is a collection of vignettes in search of a narrative center. Although it's enjoyable, the film never coheres into a whole. Instead, it resembles a pile of ill-fitting jigsaw-puzzle pieces rather than a fully formed picture.

ItThis was obviously going to be a tough movie to make from such an excellent book. Go in with modest expectations, and you'll enjoy it. It feels like a companion piece to such other great works as Band of Brothers and Schindler's List. Even though there are only a handful of truly interesting scenes, if you appreciate fine art and the cultural ramifications of war, you'll enjoy this film. If you're an amateur film critic, there's a ton to pick apart here. so just know that and know that this is not an award-worthy flick.

Mar 25, 2014It has nice aspiration and strong cast, but the script just isn't up to par. A bit resembling Ocean franchise, George Clooney assembles aIt has nice aspiration and strong cast, but the script just isn't up to par. A bit resembling Ocean franchise, George Clooney assembles a squad of intelligent men, not to steal valuable goods, but to preserve artworks from being destroyed at World War II. Contrary to usual war theme movie, The Monuments Men takes a lighter, more humorous view of the brotherhood and their cause. It works moderately in its own way with the interesting concept, although uneven pace, shallow screenplay and feeble dialogue confine the movie in mediocrity.
The story takes place in dusk of World War II, just as German was about to be defeated by Allied forces. Since the Nazi has confiscated a large amount of art from its occupation time, not to mention the war's toll on many other unprotected objects, Franks Stoke (George Clooney) inspires to save as many historic legacies as he can. The unit he established consists of museum curators, architects and historians, a very unorthodox squad by any means. In the casualty heavy struggle, their cause may seem trivial, and the movie tries to present this angle even though it may not rise in its fullest.
Cast is composed of famous line up, such as Matt Damon, Jean Dujardin, Cate Blanchett and more. Each contributes in their own way as one only has a couple of fervid scenes. Cate Blanchett delivers the most somber role of the somewhat light-hearted movie, she displays a cynical unyielding will and probably would fit in more intense direction. Bill Murray and John Goodman as veterans give a comedic side as they're aware they might not be soldier material, but they offer vivid reaction when faced with mortality. Jean Dujardin in the few scenes he's in manages to be suave and persistently spirited.
The most unfortunate thing is the screenplay doesn't allow the talented cast to reach their best potential. Dialogues sound tedious, stiff and frankly inauthentic. Pacing is monotonous, the unit splits into different teams and it's meant as an effort across the war torn Europe, but it never manages to create an intertwined flow. The pace feels fragmented as there's barely any consistency to string everything together. Its dramatic moments mostly seem dull and humor is unsuccessful at times.
There are some good scenes here, although they are brief and numbered in only a few stretched across the two hours movie. Ironically, the above average length can't form a compellingly structured plot because the content is sparsely divided the many characters. More than half of the movie is spent on comedy, sadly the jokes are stale, and they don't amount to much laughter or enjoyment. Aside from these short-lived moments of fascination, the movie is mundane.
The Monuments Men is based on cultural achievement, a good intention by George Clooney and it's presented in easily accessible fashion. However, the pace, direction and screenplay are subpar, making the movie muddled and far less inspiring than it could have been.… Full Review »

Jaroslav Janus, Bratislava, DNP
Season totals: 28 GP, 12-12-4, 2 SO, 3.11 GAA, .889 sv%
Ex-NHLer Branko Radivojevic's shorthanded goal for Slovan with 2:37 left in regulation made it interesting, but Bratislava still fell 2-1 to Chelyabinsk. Jaroslav Janus sat backup after being shelled in his last outing for the club.
Magnitogorsk 4 vs. Praha 2
Vasily Koshechkin, Magnitogorsk, Win, 40/42, 2.00 GAA, .952 sv%
Season totals: 39 GP, 23-9-6, 7 SO, 1.92 GAA, .938 sv%
Ex-Blue Jackets draft pick Sergei Mozyakin had 1 goal and 2 assists to help propel Magnitogorsk to a 4-2 win over Praha. The bigger story may have been netminder Vasily Koshechkin, though, who stopped 40 shots to help his club overcome a 42-33 shot deficit for the victory.
Novgorod 4 vs. Khanty-Mansiysk 5
Nikita Gusev, Khanty-Mansiysk, 0-0-0, -2, 0 PIM, 2 SOG
Season totals: 31 GP, 3-2-5, -9, 10 PIM
Nikita Gusev was -2 in 13:37 of ice time in Yugra's 5-4 win over Novgorod. Ex-Lightning draft pick Radek Smolenak had a helper in the win for Yugra.
Elsewhere, in Andrey Vasilevskiy's absence, Ufa bested CSKA 5-2.
With the U20 World Junior Championships now over, the KHL standing set up as follows for the Lightning's prospects:
Janus and Bratislava appear to be in dire straits in 12th place in the 14 team Western Conference, 10 points behind 8th place Yaroslavl.
Koshechkin and Magnitogorsk are a solid 3rd in the Eastern Conference, 5 points back of leader Ak Bars Kazan. Vasilevskiy's Ufa club sits just 5 points behind Magnitogorsk in 4th in the conference. Nikita Gusev's Yugra club also looks to be in trouble in 11th place in the 14 team Eastern Conference, 14 points back of 8th place Chelyabinsk.

I scaled this back for 2 serves using 3 large lamb shanks weighing about 500 grams each (not frenched though), though I put more carrots, celery and onions than was called for and then did the initial 2 hours at 150C fan forced and at that point needed to add about 1/2 cup water when I took the lid off as the lamb was very tender then and then after 1/2 hour with lid off I removed from the oven as the gravy/vegetable mix was extremely thick and luscious and the meat was falling of the bones and I just left it on the stove top with the lid on to keep warm as I made up the rest of dinner. As I was serving the DM declared she was not hungry so I just told her to eat what she could, well she gobbled up the sides (Fast and Easy Paprika Potatoes), all the gravy/vegetables I poured over the lamb shanks and there was plenty and nearly half her lamb and asked for the left overs for lunch, the gravy/vegetable component could almost be a dish by itself, wonderful flavours. Thank you Jan, made for Make My Recipe - Edition 15.
I loved the sound of this but the end result didn't really reach my expectations unfortunately Jan, we liked it but didn't love it, the sauce needed something extra for us but it was very hearty and liked the fact that it's basically a meal in one pan.
5 Stars for yum! For some reason this took 4 hrs start to finish because the lentils just didn't want to cook through and I did need to add more liquid a couple of times. I was very surprised as they are usually so quick to cook. That said this was worth waiting for, DH and I had no problem dispatching a large lamb shank each. As Pat did, I used more of the veggies than ask for (at lease twice as much). I served just a side salad to go along with as I didn't think we needed spuds with the lentils. Dee-licious :D

Hollywood Private Eye Indicted
The Associated Press is reporting that Anthony Pellicano, the private eye to several Hollywood stars, was indicted this morning in a Los Angeles federal court. According to the article, Pellicano pleaded not guilty to a rash of charges stemming from allegations that he paid police officers and others for information. His trial is set for April 4.
The indictment comes less than a month after Pellicano's ex-girlfriend Sandra Will Carradine (ex-wife of actor Keith Carradine) and Beverly Hills police officer Craig Stevens pled guilty to felony charges of lying about Pellicano's activities.
More indictments could be on the way. Pellicano, who was released from federal prison on Friday after serving a 2 1/2 year sentence for possession of illegal weapons, has worked for the likes of Michael Jackson, Elizabeth Taylor and Sylvester Stallone, as well as high-profile agents, lawyers, and other Tinseltown glitterati. Prominent entertainment lawyer Bert Fields, who often hired Pellicano as an investigator, has admitted to having been questioned by federal agents in connection with Pellicano. Fields, represented by John Keker of San Francisco's Keker & Van Nest, has denied any wrongdoing.
How widely might the Pellicano indictments spread? It's anyone's guess. "He's like (Jack) Abramoff. You just hope you didn't get your picture taken with him," says Laurie Levenson, a professor at Loyola Law School, in the AP article.

Transformed my hair By Jess
It left my hair feeling silky and soft! Posted on 2016-05-08
Elasticizer Extreme By Dry, coarse hair
Lovely product, really creamy when applied and my dry, coarse hair looks much better after use. Unfortunately, the results do not last very long. Posted on 2015-10-18
FANTASTIC PRODUCT By Nader
This is the best product for my hair , I also use a small amount on my beard before putting shaving cream on which makes shaving much easier.
Just Love it. Posted on 2015-07-31
Great product By R
Bought a trial size of this product, have to say I'm really impressed, and will buy full size. A must have for dry porous bleached hair. Posted on 2015-06-09
Elasticizer Extreme does exactly what it says on the jar By Shirley Ann
I have afro hair, and as all other girls with this type of hair, I have trouble getting it to grow to any meaningful length. Using this product has allowed my hair to remain on my head instead of breaking off before you notice any growth. Within 12 months it has grown about 4/5 inches and there's no reason why it shouldn't continue to get longer... Love it! Posted on 2015-05-06

Osteoporosis is a major public health concern for elderly subjects. Old age is a risk factor for fragility fractures; countries with aging population face a heavy burden of fractures and their consequences.
In 2009, the total population of Argentina was 40 million, with 10 million inhabitants aged >50 years. Population will grow 13% by 2050 and reach 53 million, but the elderly population will reach 19.5 million.
Local bone mineral density studies reveal that two out of four postmenopausal women have osteopenia, one has osteoporosis, and one has a normal bone mineral density. Around 3.3 million women will suffer from osteopenia in 2025 and 5.24 million in 2050. Although the rate of fragility fractures is higher in patients with osteoporosis, the absolute number of fractures is higher in osteopenic patients. In Argentina, the mean annual rate of hip fractures is 488/100,000 inhabitants aged above 50 years, with a 2.6:1 F/M ratio. Thus, over 34,000 hip fractures occur every year among the aged populationwith an average 90 such fractures per day.
The Latin American Vertebral Osteoporosis Study found an overall 16.2% prevalence of vertebral fractures in Argentinean women aged 50 years or over. Hospitalization costs of hip and vertebral fractures in Argentina exceed 190 million USD per year. Consequently, the costs of osteoporosis for the public health system are staggering; however, the federal or the provincial governments of Argentina do not give the disease a high priority. To conclude, efforts for the prevention and management of osteoporosis are urgently needed.

SOURCE: Sherman, Joseph. "What's Jews?: Isaac Bashevis Singer's Androgenus." Prooftexts 14, no. 2 (May 1994): 167-88.
In the following essay, Sherman explores the quest for spiritual self-fulfillment in Singer's story "Androygenus."
Na dir a groshn far dem oylem-habe, says a militant Maskil to his disciples near the beginning of one of Singer's monologue stories not yet published in English—bay mir yidishkayt iz oylem-haze. And with this emphatic assertion of what appears to be gross materialism, Singer launches into a remarkable critique of a once-vibrant movement toward spiritual renewal, which has fallen into decay. Through an investigation of the painful quest to find spiritual self-fulfillment of a devout but sexually ambivalent Jew, Singer's story "Androygenus"1 probes the possibility of accommodating the rigid injunctions of conventionally apprehended halakhah to the amorphous exigencies of unconventional lived experience.
While Singer is...

Two separate cases involving citations issued to out-of-state anglers for exceeding the possession limit on walleyes are perfect examples of public participation in helping enforce game and fish laws.
North Dakota Game and Fish Department chief of enforcement Robert Timian said one anonymous caller reported a case through the department's enforcement office in Bismarck, while the other contacted a local district game warden.
"Both cases were very similar, and resulted from tips where anglers were catching and keeping more fish than the daily limit allows," Timian said.
The recent discovery of curly leaf pondweed in Raleigh Reservoir in Grant County serves as a reminder for anglers to take appropriate measures to prevent the spread of aquatic nuisance species.
North Dakota Game and Fish Department ANS coordinator Fred Ryckman said a fisheries crew discovered the unwanted plant in late June.
"This does not come as a total surprise since curly leaf is found in the Missouri River," Ryckman said, noting the close proximity of the Missouri River to Raleigh Reservoir.
The North Dakota Cooperative Fur Harvester Education Program is sponsoring fur harvester education classes for anyone interested in trapping or hunting furbearers.
Courses in Bismarck and Jamestown are set for Aug. 12, 14 and 16.
A course in Velva is scheduled for Aug. 19, 21 and 23. - Update 7/23: This class has been postponed.
Audubon National Wildlife Refuge is hosting a course Sept. 16, 18 and 20.
Courses are free and take 16 hours to complete over a three-day period.
Game wardens for the North Dakota Game and Fish Department were busy over the Fourth of July weekend, as many anglers and boaters celebrated the holiday at a favorite outdoor destination.
Chief of enforcement Robert Timian said lake activity was high across the state, especially at popular recreation areas such as the Missouri River, Lake Sakakawea, Devils Lake, Lake Ashtabula, Lake Tschida and Lake Metigoshe, with much of the department's law enforcement efforts focusing on these areas.
The next guide and outfitter written examination is Aug. 9 at 1 p.m. at the North Dakota Game and Fish Department office in Bismarck. The test is given periodically to anyone interested in becoming a hunting guide or outfitter in the state.
In addition to passing a written exam, qualifications for becoming a guide include a background check for criminal and game and fish violations; certification in cardiopulmonary resuscitation and standard first aid; and employment by or contract with a licensed hunting outfitter.
Anglers are reminded that it is illegal to import all forms of live aquatic bait into North Dakota. This includes minnows, suckers, leeches, waterdogs (salamanders) and frogs.
Anglers should buy bait from a licensed North Dakota retail bait vendor. Bait vendors can properly identify species and have taken steps to ensure all bait is clean of any aquatic nuisance species.
The North Dakota Game and Fish Department will host thousands of visitors to its Conservation and Outdoors Skills Park July 18-26 at the State Fair in Minot.
North Dakota's spring pheasant population index is up slightly from last year, according to the State Game and Fish Department's 2014 spring crowing count survey.
Stan Kohn, upland game management supervisor, said the number of roosters heard crowing this spring was up about 6 percent statewide from 2013, with increases ranging from about 2 to 9 percent depending on the region.
The deadline for submitting photos to the North Dakota Game and Fish Department's annual Watchable Wildlife Photo Contest is Sept. 30.
The contest has categories for nongame and game species, as well as plants/insects. An overall winning photograph will be chosen, with the number of place winners in each category determined by the number of qualified entries.
The North Dakota Game and Fish Department's annual spring breeding duck survey conducted in May showed an index of 4.9 million birds, up 23 percent from last year and 110 percent above the long-term average (1948-2013).
An annual tradition for many outdoor enthusiasts is to enjoy Fourth of July with family and friends at a favorite area lake. With the popular holiday less than two weeks away, boat owners are reminded that children ages 12-15 who want to operate a boat or personal watercraft must take the state's boating basics course.
The North Dakota Game and Fish Department reminds citizens that possession or use of fireworks on state wildlife management areas is prohibited.
The primary objective of a wildlife management area is to enhance wildlife production, provide hunting and fishing opportunities, and offer other outdoor recreational and educational uses. Only activities that would not disrupt the intentions of how these areas are managed are encouraged, and a fireworks display is not compatible.

I held off buying into digital, waiting for Nikon to match Canon's sensor size. Finally I broke down and bought Nikons and lenses. Now I'm upset that they've introduced the nearly 35mm size format. Since I sold my 35 gear, now I'll buy Canon digital and lenses.
Please comment briefly on your thoughts on Nikon's move to offer a full-frame sensor and how it might affect your buying decisions in the future.
I am very happy with my D200 and when something new comes out I always think what can they do next. When I bought my D70 I thought I was in heaven. Now that I have a D200 I just can't see anything better. When does it stop.
For the type of photography I do the APS-C sensor is fine. I shoot DSLR digital and 35 as well as 4x5. Full sized sensor cameras are too expensive right now for me, even the Canon 5D with the lower prices.
Full-frame certainly is advantageous on the wide-end. Too, Nikon has thrown a lot of doubt into where they are going from here. From a buying perspective, I will be unlikely to buy Nikon DX lenses - not wanting to get "stuck" with a lens that is limited to DX format cameras.
I think Nikon must keep in-line with what it is doing -- market share dictates tha larger sensors do not mean better images. What Nikon has to do is stop playing patsie to Canon, come out with a digital consumer camera in the 20mp range to shut Canon down period.
I have had the Canon 5D - sold it and purchased the 40D. It has more fearures abd in my opinion takes better images. I also saved money and weight on my telephoto lens - the 70-200mm works really well.
Full-frame misses the point. It is an attempt to use old style (film) lenses on digital sensors. It appears only really good and really expensive lenses will work. I prefer optimized digital such as Olympus 4:3 which designs superior, but less expensive optimized digital lenses. Of course APS-C also has excellent optimized digital lenses too.
I look forward to my lenses performing as they would on a 35mm film camera. The larger sensor will either have more pixels or larger pixels. I like Nikon's approach of using larger pixels, which provide benefits in terms of dynamic range and low noise.
This depends very much on your needs and there is a place for each sensor size in the market. For me, the ability to retain the image qualities of full-frame are critical and I am happy the pay a higher price for it.
After converting to the digital wide angles to accomidate Nikon, I don't think its worth it to buy a more expensive body and re-purchase the old lenses I sold. Nikon should have introduced a full-frame sooner.
A larger sensor with larger, not more, pixels to lower noise at low light and give short focal length lenses the full view would be valuable to me. Price would also affect my decision to purchase.
I have a Canon 30D, and I'm satisfied with it, but I always want the one that's better, the 5D. I find my cropping sometimes needs adjustment. Basically I can be happy with the APS-C sensor, although I may be less clear about the difference as I thought.

If the all-star fawning by MSNBC personalities such as Brian Williams and Chris Matthews over President Obama's DNC speech wasn't enough, former McCain/Palin campaign manager Steve Schmidt ruled Thursday night that the speech was "one of the most extraordinary political speeches ever given by anyone at any time" and NBC News correspondent/MSNBC host Andrea Mitchell proclaimed that Obama is the best speechwriter president since Abraham Lincoln.

The crew at MSNBC late Wednesday were locked and loaded to respond to President Barack Obam's speech to the Democratic National Convention (DNC) and didn't disappoint as breaking news anchor Brian Williams informed everyone that "we will not see his kind again" before Rachel Maddow ruled that "[t]here's nothing else like him" while Hardball host Chris Matthews admitted that "it's pretty well known I've always gone for this guy."

When Bill Maher isn't bashing Nazi Republicans who plan to put immigrants in "boxcars," the HBO comic wants to bring people together. The Real Time host opened a live, post-convention version of his show with this nasty joke: "For people who have been saying elections didn't offer a real choice, it is kind of a real choice. Right? 'Hillary is going to fight for you.' 'Hillary is going to murder you.' 'How do we welcome immigrants?' 'How many can we fit in a boxcar?'"

The journalists at ABC, CBS and NBC were beside themselves with gushing praise of Barack Obama's address to the Democratic National Convention, Wednesday. Immediately after his speech, they hailed the President as a "preacher" and a "powerful" "lawyer."

CNN went into full Barack Obama backing mode following his speech at the Democratic Nation Convention. Most of the panel looked and sounded as if they were moved to tears by his words as they all sang his praises. "Nobody can talk about America like Barack Obama, aside from maybe Ronald Reagan," CNN's Chief Political Analyst Gloria Borger declared, "And that's what I was thinking about this evening because he described an American that we all aspire to be and in a way we are."

Despite it drawing nowhere near the same levels of enthusiasm that other speeches drew in the 2016 Democratic National Convention (DNC) thus far, the "big three" networks of ABC, CBS, and NBC went into full spin mode late Wednesday hailing vice presidential nominee Tim Kaine's personality as a "suburban dad" whose "extraordinary" Spanish-speaking skills made for "a Spanish lesson down here."

On Wednesday, ABC's World News Tonight and NBC Nightly News both played up President Obama's planned speech to the Democratic National Convention as a key moment to promote Hillary Clinton. ABC's Cecilia Vega touted the President as "her most powerful ally." NBC's Andrea Mitchell counted the chief executive as one of "Clinton's heaviest hitters" and spotlighted his "most critical moment" at the convention. Kristen Welker contended that "there is...no more critical speech than the one he'll deliver tonight."

CNN's America's Choice 2016 panel was in awe of the lineup of speakers at the Democratic National Convention Wednesday evening.

Unlike Republicans, Democrats don't "hate." That incredible claim came from MSNBC's Chris Matthews on Wednesday night came as the Hardball host fawned over the Democratic National Convention.

El vicio mediático se manifiesta de varias maneras. La mayor parte de las veces, el sesgo es evidente cuando examinamos la manera en que se enmarca una noticia.

Full Frontal host Samantha Bee joined the set of Wednesday's PBS NewsHour to promote her TBS show and in the process, she claimed to be an "independent" despite being "excited for Hillary" and defended her show's near constant use of "salty language" despite a drove of critics (which she argued she ignores).

Over-the-top hyperbole is par for the course at any party's convention, especially when it's former president Bill Clinton extolling the virtues of his wife. But there came a point last night when the former president's gushing for Hillary crossed the line into Twilight-Zone absurdity.
It was clear from the start that Mr. Clinton set a daunting task -- to sell the notion of Hillary as "the best darn change maker I've ever met," a dubious proposition when the subject at hand represents change to the same extent that Leonid Brezhnev did upon assuming power in the Soviet Union.

It's not enough for journalists to fawn over the Democratic National Convention on their own shows, some of them are going to entertainment tabloid programs to do it.

If a Republican Congressman had gotten into a physical altercation with a reporter at the GOP convention it's a good bet it would have been plastered all over the Big Three (ABC, CBS, NBC) network and cable newscasts.

Room was very clean and comfortable. Pleasant staff. Walked along River Walk at night. Close proximity to several restaurants. Stayed here the night before our Royal Caribbean cruise. Managers Reception at 5:30- 7:30 snacks, drinks okay, nothing special- chips, salsa, pretzels. Internet is $15.00 for the night (i consider this a minus) A huge plus and savings was the proximity to low cost/public transportation. Arrived at airport, checked for possibility of hotel shuttle but was told there was not one. Made our way to taxi/transport area, hoping to possibly share a cab. While waiting we noticed the HART bus to the left. Walked over and asked driver if he went near Convention Center. Why, yes! Within a few blocks. How much? $2 a person. Fabulous!. And it was an easy walk with wheelie luggage. At noon, trolley starts right outside the front entrance. Hopped on with our luggage for $2.50 person, directly to RC port. Return trip to airport was a bit of a longer walk to Marion/N. Whiting Stop for Bus #30. Bus drivers very helpful.

Ford launches pre-emptive strike against controversial procedure
By TOM CALLIS
Tribune-Herald staff writer
First, there was GMOs. And now there's fracking.
The Hawaii County Council will take on another controversial issue this month when it discusses a proposed ban on hydraulic fracturing, better known as fracking.
The practice, which involves injecting fluids deep into the ground to access resources, is mostly associated with natural gas extraction on the mainland, where it has been criticized for contaminating water supplies.
While there may not be any natural gas resources in Hawaii, South Kona/Ka'u Councilwoman Brenda Ford said she is also concerned about fracking being used by geothermal companies, which prompted her to introduce the bill as a pre-emptive measure.
Ford said fluids used in fracking could threaten aquifers, providing a potentially disastrous environmental issue.
"We don't want to contaminate our drinking water supply," she said.
"We need to stop it before it starts," Ford said.
Fracking fluids have included water, sand and certain chemicals.
Only one geothermal fracking project, also known as enhanced geothermal, has been connected to the grid in the United States.
That well belongs to Ormat Technologies, the parent company of Puna Geothermal Venture, which finished the fracking project in April at a plant in Nevada.
According to the company, fluids used for fracking were limited to water and some minerals, referred to as brine.
The water is used to widen cracks deep underground to increase their permeability, allowing more heat sources to be accessed.
"No chemicals or additives are used in (enhanced geothermal), rather we inject existing geothermal brine," Ormat spokeswoman Heidi Bethel said in an email.
Don Thomas, a University of Hawaii at Manoa geochemistry professor, told the Tribune-Herald in March that he wasn't aware of any fluids but water and sand being used with enhanced geothermal.
Thomas was speaking in response to an anti-fracking resolution introduced by state Sen. Russell Ruderman, D-Puna.
Bethel in her email response also referenced a statement from the European Geothermal Association which said enhanced geothermal only requires water and brine "so that the composition of the water being injected matches that of the water occurring naturally in the subsurface."
Fracking has also raised the concerns of increased earthquake activity.
Thomas, who couldn't be reached Friday, previously said that enhanced geothermal can cause low levels of seismic activity.
PGV is the only geothermal plant in the state. It provides 38 megawatts of electricity.
The Hawaii Electric Light Co. is currently reviewing proposals for an additional 50 mgws.
Bethel said Ormat is still in the research and development phase with enhanced geothermal and has no plans to use it in Hawaii.
Ford's legislation will be heard Sept. 17.
A penalty of $1,000 per violation would be enforced.

A man's decision to drink and drive shattered the lives of three families one terrible night in April, authorities allege. A judge decided Monday there was enough evidence to warrant a trial in the case.
Authorities say Gilbert Sanchez, 36, drank several beers and possibly vodka prior to getting into his truck and speeding through the streets of Pueblo, hitting over 100 mph when he ran a red light and collided with a car carrying three teen girls. The girls were on their way home from a church event at the time of the crash.
The three girls were killed, while Sanchez's own young passengers were seriously injured after being thrown from his truck.
Monday, Sanchez returned to court in Pueblo for a preliminary hearing. The judge was presented with evidence from the case and decided there was enough to go to trial.
He faces numerous charges, including six counts of vehicular homicide, four counts of vehicular assault, two counts of child abuse and endangerment, DUI, reckless driving, and running a red light.
The next scheduled court appearance for Sanchez is August 13 at 10:00 a.m.

Value for money is the only positive comment I can give to this hotel.. My brothers and I stayed here for four nights last May. Rooms need renovation, Wi-fi in the rooms had poor reception. Breakfast choices were also limited. I suggest checking out the nearby restaurants instead. When we asked for extra towels since we were four in a room, the front desk mentioned that they had run out and gave is a bunch of hand towels instead...
