Northwest Kansas is still in the exceptional or extreme drought categories according to the July 2 drought monitor. A lucky few have received rain showers.
While many producers have made downward adjustments to stocking rates this year, they still might find the demand for forage exceeds the actual grass growth. This shortfall can be a problem for cows near the peak of milk production going into the breeding season.
After calving, it generally takes about 50 days for cows in adequate body condition to resume normal estrous cycles. For thin and young cows, the time period can be much longer. Animals must achieve a positive energy balance (energy intake greater than energy expenditure) before they will cycle and rebreed.
Body condition is a useful measure of nutrition; however, metabolic signals will be apparent to the animal before a visible change in body condition. Increased early embryonic loss has been noted when maintenance energy has been reduced by 20 percent, so concerns of insufficient dry matter for grazing cows continues into early pregnancy.
For our current conditions, producers should continue to monitor forage production and rainfall closely, especially during the breeding season. Feeding cows on pasture is rarely a first choice but might be more appealing than thin, open cows at the end of the breeding season, weaning, feeding in a dry lot or selling cows. If supplementation on pasture early in the season is warranted, then producers should supplement energy rather than protein. Ideal energy supplements would be low starch and high fiber feeds like soybean hulls, distillers grains, wheat midds, or moderate quality hay. Compare options on a cost per pound of TDN or energy on a dry basis. Many commercially available self-fed supplements are designed to supplement protein rather than energy. In addition to the expense, the excess protein, especially with limited energy, could be detrimental to reproduction.
Be sure to re-evaluate the mineral supplementation program when providing supplement on pasture to account for mineral content of the energy supplement. For example, the phosphorus provided from a few pounds of distillers grains greatly could reduce or eliminate expensive phosphorus in the mineral supplement.
Forage production and precipitation records from more than 36 years at the Agricultural Research Center in Hays have shown May and June precipitation to be the two-month period with the strongest relationship to the end of season forage production. This compares very well to a correlation of 0.61 for precipitation from October of one year through September of the next with forage production. Thus, we are halfway to a good estimate of this year's end of season forage production.
At the Agricultural Research Center in Hays, 2.16 inches of precipitation fell in May, and the May normal is 3.26 inches. June's total was 2.73 inches and normal rainfall is 2.84 inches. In 2012, actual total precipitation was 14.39 inches, while the normal is around 23inches.
If pastures are short and producers are still in the midst of the breeding season, reducing cow numbers further or providing some form of energy supplement are options. Weaning will decrease energy and water requirements significantly and previously non-cycling cows will resume cycling after weaning. Grass production is not normal this year, so don't expect your normal management approach to cows and grass to work.

- " We had a 6-bed-room without AC but a small tiny window (you felt like in a basement) which was absolutely inefficient for 6 people in the summer month at 35°C. instead, they put 3 fans into the room which were running day and night. it was hard to get any sleep. in order to get some fresh air, we had to leave the door open yielding into some kind of backyard (ground floor) so security was zero at night. almost everything they offer comes with add.costs and the showers were dirty and in bad shape "

- " Really fun hostel with a laid back atmosphere. It's a 5 minute walk from the bus station and 5-10 minutes to the beach (the boat harbor is about 5 min, the beach 10). Complaints are it's expensive for Croatia where most hostels are much cheaper and the door to the hostel room locked but would come open easily if it wasn't shut properly. Other than that, great hostel. If staying in Zadar for a long amount of time I would recommend! "

I was wondering where Lance Lacy went.. Kept looking for the Tats and all of a sudden they were gone. I didn't know when he dropped, cause my head was light headed anyway and was too focused on not getting dropped.. Probably the last lap.

hey asshole before you go and publicly embarrass people get your Fucking facts straight,and make sure the reason they are standing on the side of the road is because they were dropped and not something else..you got it.

Dude, I don't know who you are but this is by far the best way I've ever seen my photos used. I generally have shots of guys off the back because, well, they're easy to get. Sorry... Just a fact. Can't get enough of the dramatic expressions of suffering either. Helps build the story of the race. But I'm so going to keep this site in mind in coming races!

Relax tiger. anybody who is anybody knows that the mighty Lance Lacy isn't on the side of the road as a result of tired legs, sore ass, or case of the 'vaginitis'. We all know something horrible must have happened to your machine.
The contingency is frightened for what may occur in Walkersville, Md or Tyson's Corner, Va this weekend when the white gloved, tattooed, crazy snake eyes brings upon furious anger and vengence.
Keep on truckin'.

being dropped isn't fun,we all train hard and race hard,so if you are dropped in front of people its already embarrassing,then to have some asshole make it more public why?..to get a few laughs at someones expense...you yourself no its wrong that's why you hide behind a anonymous ID,,your a coward...i am very nice and try to be supportive to everyone i know and meet,but to put this site up just to embarrass and demoralize people who are trying hard is a fucked up thing to do,dropped or not. be more supportive to people so this sport at least in our area can stay positive and grow, this site isn't doing anybody good ..... let me find out who you are and i will show you whats its like to really be embarrass by someone...

Lance, it is funny. When life gives you lemons make lemonade - this site is the best thing to come out of getting droped. When I get dropped, and I see a camera, I am going to smile and say cheese - then tell them my name is Lance Lacy.

Lance..I hope you have had time to reflect on this site and see that it's not a reflection of anybody's poor form or lack of fitness. It's just that - shit happens. Us cycling types often take ourselves too seriously. This site is devoted to the cause of loosening us the fuck up. As for the anonymity, you threatened me. That should be cause enough. You look like a mean mofo and who knows what the hell is coursing through your bloodstream. so I will withhold my identity.
As for fatguy racer's guess that i am So Faux Pro, that is just plain wrong. That guy can lick my balls. he just made fun of people.
I'm helping everybody.
I also want to state that I will not post photos of any juniors. Except for maybe Nate Wilson or the Kendall Bros..and Curtis Windsor..or Tyler Karnes. They can handle it. - April 2, 2009 at 8:15 PM

Nate Wilson never gets dropped. He just makes the rest of the field flee in terror.

seriously how would i ever get dropped, except for this past weekend at jeff cup...allbeit a cracked wheel and stem...but this site has my approval, please find pictures of me getting dropped to post here
by the way curtis is an old man not a jr, so post all the pictures you want - April 3, 2009 at 1:00 PM

alright alright i made a huge mistake,,thought this was something else.but after chucks lemonade stand thing and petes weird fetish story i saw the light.after i realized what this is about i wish there was a better pic of me...then again who am i kidding i never take a bad pic haha ...to be honest i think i know who you are,which makes perfect sense...if you are who i think you are you should know these initials S.Y.R

I've got to say.. Dropped did bring out the worst, I've ever seen in Lance... as I remarked a year back when some chick said "Lance is such a sweet guy", now we can see other side of Lance. However, you just have to chuckle as these were great pics, possibly not reflecting the real truth, but it was funny anyway.

hey hey Lance, I resent that. i have no weird fetishes, it's just that people's mom's seem to have fetishes about ME!

Don't think of as getting dropped....think of it as improving your feed zone hand-off skills. Surely I'm working my way up to Cat2 feedzone status :-) Bottom photo - far left...

Looking at excessive litigation costs and time delays as techniques in themselves by which a party can force settlement is a distortion of what the civil justice system is intended to be.
The Federal Food and Drug Administration (FDA) recently issued the most welcome news that it will be implementing a voluntary plan known as Guidance 213, instructing the agricultural industry to phase out the use of certain antibiotics added to animal feed to help them livestock gain weight faster on less food.
The New York legislature recently proposed the "Safe Weapon Storage Act," otherwise known as Nicholas' Law, having found that "the presence of unsecured, easily accessible, weapons in homes and other places increases the likelihood of death or injury from accidents and impulsive acts.
In September 2013, the highest court in the Dominican Republic issued an immigration ruling that sparked outrage throughout the international community. The court ruled that any person who was born in the Dominican Republic to parents who were illegal immigrants would not be considered a legal resident of the Dominican Republic.
Changes in the legal marketplace are causing legal educators to rethink the nature, purpose and substance of legal education. As reported in these pages, Timothy Fisher and Jennifer Gerarda Brown, the recently appointed deans of the University of Connecticut School of Law and Quinnipiac School of Law, are enthusiastically and energetically embracing the opportunity to review old assumptions about what it means to be an attorney.
The snow of a fierce Connecticut winter has finally melted, releasing its icy grip on the land. The time is now upon us to repair stone walls. We can also fix a poetic injustice in Connecticut's legal literature.
We in the common law world pride ourselves on our adversary system, where lawyers make the best arguments for opposing sides and judges decide which is the stronger argument. There is of course another world out there, the civil law world, where lawyers play a more modest role because the judges do much of the advocating, supposedly for the truth rather than for any particular party.
By now, every collegiate sports fan is aware that the National Labor Relations Board's Chicago regional office has declared Northwestern University college football athletic scholarship recipients eligible for union representation.
As anyone who has driven on Interstate 84, I-91, and especially I-95 knows, our interstate highway system is rapidly deteriorating. And that's true not just of interstates in Connecticut, but nationwide. Potholes, crumbling pavement, and weakening bridge supports need to be repaired sooner rather than later.
The Public Utility Regulatory Authority (PURA) has one last opportunity to put the brakes on a radical utility line-clearing proposal that would remove any tall tree growing within eight feet to the right and to the left of utility distribution lines, from ground to sky, regardless of the health of the tree.
If the profession is to be successful in diversifying the bar, then the volunteer bar associations must take the lead. It is unreasonable for bar associations to sit back and publicly lament the lack of diversity among law firm partnerships or in the judiciary, all the while failing to elect a lawyer of color to lead their organizations.
Much has been written about the simultaneous shortage of employment opportunities for lawyers and affordable legal services for persons of moderate means. Less has been said about the opportunities that this market situation might provide for addressing both of those problems.
In October 1902, in the midst of a months-long strike by the United Mine Workers Union, the coal operators' representative, George Baer, flatly refused to meet with the UMW's president, John Mitchell. Baer said that Mitchell was "only a common coal-miner, who worked with his hands for 15 years, and was now a labor agitator."
We have heard quite a lot of late about the rule of law in Connecticut and elsewhere. The Connecticut Bar Association even sponsored two seminars in recent years on that precise subject. One of the speakers, a top business leader in Connecticut, raised many eyebrows when he said one of the reasons he would prefer to do business in China rather than in Russia is that China, in spite of all the differences from our legal system, takes the rule of law more seriously than Russia does.
All of us in Connecticut should be proud of the rising prestige of our University of Connecticut, originally founded as an agricultural college in Storrs in 1881. The 2014 edition of "Best Colleges," published by U.S. News & World Report, ranks UConn as the 57th best national university in the country, obviously behind such eminences such as Princeton, Harvard and Yale, but ahead of Syracuse, Worcester Polytechnic Institute, University of Massachusetts-Amherst, Rutgers, etc.
On Feb. 26, 2014, Noah Kai Newkirk said a few words at the Supreme Court of the United States. The problem was that he was not supposed to be speaking; he was there as a spectator.
Part of the role of Connecticut's Department of Mental Health and Addiction Services is to de-stigmatize the image of mental illness, to promote understanding and to encourage treatment.
Once upon a time — say, last October — someone stole a significant amount of jewelry from a home in which he was working as a contractor. He drove directly from that home to a store that widely advertises that it purchases gold, jewelry, coins, and the like, and sold the jewelry.
In May 2012, only five years after the international, white shoe law firms of Dewey Ballantine and LeBoeuf, Lamb, Greene & MacRae had merged, the resulting mega-firm, Dewey & LeBoeuf, filed for bankruptcy.
Many of us remember that, around 1997, Douglas Perlitz obtained funding to found Project Pierre Toussaint (PPT), a school for boys in Cap-Haitien, Haiti. Initially, PPT began as an intake center referred to as the 13th Street Intake Program and provided services to children of all ages, most of whom were street children.
On Feb. 24, in an editorial called "Support Legal Aid By Keeping Filing Fees In Place" we urged that the General Assembly preserve the source of legal aid funding it established in 2009 by enacting Senate Bill 31. Gov. Dannel Malloy proposed the measure to maintain $5 million in annual legal aid support from filing fee increases by eliminating the sunset provision which will otherwise automatically terminate that funding.
Superior Court Judge Leslie Olear recently came within a hair of being out of a job when her reappointment after eight years in office succeeded in the House of Representatives on a close vote of 78-67.
A recent front page article in the New York Times headlined "Karzai Warned Over Release Of Detainees" told of three members of the U.S. Senate bringing pressure on the president of Afghanistan concerning his country's plan to release dozens of prisoners who were accused of attacking members of the U.S. military.
Buried in the back of a recent issue of one ABA Journal was the American Bar Association's treasurer's report. ABA members should review that report because the association is preparing the ground for a dues increase.
New Haven, like other major cities in Connecticut, is home to private colleges, universities and hospitals. It is also the site of state-owned and -operated offices and facilities. All of those institutions serve residents of surrounding towns as well as people living in New Haven.
The idea to fund legal aid organizations through use of IOLTA funds was a stroke of genius that provided ample financial support and harmed no one. At its peak in Connecticut in 2007, IOLTA funding amounted to $20 Million, and Connecticut's legal aid organizations were supported at a stable and even generous level.
Subsection (d) of Rule 5.4 (Professional Independence of a Lawyer) of the Rules of Professional Conduct is unambiguous and unequivocal: A lawyer shall not practice with or in the form of a professional corporation or association authorized to practice law for a profit if: 1) A nonlawyer owns any interest therein…. 2) A nonlawyer is a corporate director or officer thereof or occupies the position of similar responsibility in any form of association other than a corporation. 3) A nonlawyer has the right to direct or control the professional judgment of a lawyer.
On January 6, 2010, John M. Farren was arrested and charged with 4 serious felonies: attempted murder, 2 counts of assault in the first degree and risk of injury to a child for the brutal and highly publicized attack on his then wife, Mary Margaret Farren in the presence of their 2 small children.
After the initial shock of years of layoffs in law firms, and after years of law students in a panic over the dwindling job pool, one of the groups that has long had some of the best job security in the legal profession is now the target of layoffs: law professors.
One proposal would begin requiring college officials to begin accepting complaints about off-campus assaults from students. Currently, schools are only required to accept complaints if an assault happened on campus.
Edward Snowden broke the law. There seems to be little, if any, doubt about that. The problem is that his case presents us with the same conundrum faced when Sir Thomas Moore refused to bow to King Henry's royal will, when abolitionists ignored the Fugitive Slave Act of 1850, and when Rosa Parks refused to take her seat in the back of he bus.
As everyone in Connecticut who reads a newspaper knows, in the spring of 2012 the Connecticut legislature legalized medical marijuana in this state. The Department of Consumer Protection has put in place regulations to govern the use, production and sale of medical marijuana that are clear, thorough and strict.
When a state-insured financial institution fails, and Connecticut taxpayers foot the bill, the public is left in the dark as to the causes of the failure. In Connecticut, as elsewhere, if a state financial institution should go into receivership, the relevant regulatory reports by publically-funded examiners — regarding loans to favored insiders, directors, and officers and politicians — are sealed from public view.

More reviews by MakeupManiac5699
This is my HG body mist. Packaging (I have the newer version) is gorgeous and the scent is perfect for Fall and Winter. Nothing beats warm vanilla with peony :) Pretty good lasting power. It lasts longer than the BBW mists I use. Would repurchase.

Warm & Cozy is another one of Victoria Secret's awesome all-over body mists; I think I like it a little more than Fruity & Bright. I love to spray it on just as I come out of the shower. I wore this in high school & now that I'm 22, I still love it. Because the scent truly is warm & smells like something vanilla, this is best as a go-to during the autumn &/or winter seasons. Like the name says, it's truly a warm & cozy "perfume." I don't know why, but I don't think there's anything sweet or cotton candy about this. Like I said, I smell vanilla & I can understand the marshmallow comments. This doesn't smell girlie or too even kind of sweet to me, but maybe that's just my body chemistry. This does get annoying & overwhelming if I rush & put too much on. For something that's only a mist, it's actually really long-lasting. I got this in high school on Black Friday so I don't remember how much was paid for it that day. The sticker on the bottom is marked at $15 though.

Went shopping for a different fragrance earlier this afternoon -- and this one, hands down, won the moment I picked up the bottle. I'm absolutely in love with the scent, I enjoy the colder months and it reminds me of them greatly. Although, it surely seems like a year-round fragrance and one spray lasted throughout my entire night. It will most definitely be a repurchase!

Cute packaging and it smells wonderful. The scent really lasts on the skin and it actually serves it's purpose as a moisturizer. Not a big victoria secret fan but I think it's worth the price. Good formula and great scent!
I have been wearing this since high school. I will never get rid of it. It's more of a spring/ summer scent, as its supper sweet, but it's my signature playful everyday scent. I have always received TONS of compliments on it. Everyone says I smell like cotton candy. I can see why some would think its too sweet, but I love candy/ food fragrances.
The lotion is my favorite as it lasts all day, plus some. I use the body mist in addition, but I could honestly just do with the lotion. Plus it's gentle on my sensitive skin ( who would have thought...) and super moisturizing.
This is my favorite body mist. I use it every morning before school or work so I smell delicious and every night before bed to help me relax. It's like a big, happy cloud of cotton candy and marshmallows.
I love this product yet hate it at the same time. This is definitely a winter scent for me because it is warm. You have to be careful not to use to much or else it will be extremely overwhelming. The scent is very strong and can be heavy at times. It is very sweet so I wouldn't recommend it to those who don't prefer that type of smell.
This is just too sweet for my taste. If you love that sort of thing this may be for you. It is remarkably similar to Pink Sugar but softer and more delicate. I just find that I get a bit of a headache when I wear this and get tired of smelling this very soon after spraying it. I probably would have loved this when I was a teenager though. Not for me but if you love very sweet scents you may love this.

to all the people saying this is just "another typical gourmand scent" it's not! this stuff is delicious, feminine. lovable, warm and cozy scent. it's exactly what the name suggests and more!
-if aquolina pink sugar was too much for you and too sticky or heavy, i promise you will like this warm and cozy body mist! it has everything that Pink Sugar is lacking but keeps that girly, fun, sweetness that we love.
-it's notes are toasted vanilla and peony. the toasted vanilla gives the scent a delicious marshmallow like scent. it's sweet but not too heavy or anything that would give you a headache. the peony gives it a feminine quality and balances out the sweetness, it keeps it from being to sickly and makes it a little fresh and not too strong.
-you can wear it anytime of year! not too heavy for summer, not to light for winter it's perfect for anytime! night or day as well.
- i would also say it's like a sister to Britney Spears Fantasy and distant cousin to Vera Wang Princess.
-I have the full size and mini size during a 2/$25 sale which was a steal! the mini one is perfect to take with me in my purse instead of lugging a big bottle around. the price is a little more expensive than your typical body spray but i also believe that the quality of this is better.
-the lasting power is amazing! lasts all day long on my clothes and almost all day on my skin. i don't ever have to spray it a million times during the day to keep it going, it sticks with me no matter what.
-definitely worth checking out! even if you don't like this scent in particular they have lots of others to chose from that might appeal to you. the whole PINK body mist line is wonderful.
