Want to go Home Prepared...Confused by contradicting info
Hello everyone! I am new here and searching for knowledge based on practical application, in regard to home prepared feeding. I have 9 full time cats, 7 of which are full time captives. Two are outdoor/indoor.
I currently feed Tractor Supply 4Health dry food. The most noticeable problem the indoor captives have, is a dry and uber-itchy patch, on their rump. Right in front of the tail-base. One kitten has not had a solid poop since she started pooping on her own. Other than that, everyone is outwardly "healthy" looking.
I want to start feeding home prepared meals, but there is SOO MUCH conflicting information that I am bewildered by the whole thing. Some recipes add garlic, others warn that it is toxic. One says "no beef heart", and then I find an ingredient label on a commercial raw cat food that lists that as the primary ingredient. Many home recipes include Taurine....but at WIDELY varying doses in the mix. To top that off, a number of commercial raw cat food ingredient labels don't even list it as a supplement, or ingredient!
I looking for very simple, generalized nutritional requirements, for the average joe cat, that I can prepare at home. That won't be more dangerous than feeding them neon orange kibble from the grocery store.
Recipes or basic principles of feeding that I may not be aware of would be greatly appreciated!

Beef heart is high in taurine and is a good way to get that into a cat's diet. If the commercial raw that doesn't have added taurine is the one with beef heart as the first ingredient, that would explain why they didn't add additional taurine.
I recently added beef heart to my cat's diet. Who advised against it?

Hi AdoptAnAngel,
Here is a link to the site that states "best not to use beef heart".

How rude of me; hello and welcome, Franklin St. W. ^_^
As for the beef heart, that website doesn't explain why not, but my interpretation is that it was not advised in that recipe because that part of the recipe was meant to be organ meat and for the purposes of raw feeding, beef heart counts as a muscle. I welcome disagreement with my interpretation, though, if anyone has any insight.

There is a lot conflicting information out there, especially for someone just starting off. I spent months reading about raw diets for cats before my cats ever tasted a bite of raw food. The best thing you can do is read everything you can find, and decide what will work for you and your pets. Do you want to do ground raw food (sometimes ground is easier to transition kibble addicts to right away, however it requires you purchase a grinder that can handle bones), or do you want to do franken prey or prey model (which is just chunks of meat and meaty bones following the ratio of 80% meat, 10ish% bone, 5% liver, and 5% some other organ).
I don't personally believe there's a 'right' or 'wrong' way to do a raw diet, it depends on the person/people and cat/s involved. Though I can pretty much guarantee that you're going to see a HUGE difference in your cats when you do start adding raw to their diet. I switched my two cats from poor quality kibble, to better quality kibble to canned and then to raw. I can tell you my older cat (who is 15 now) had amazing results. She's a different, much healthier cat these days.
One thing I don't believe is necessary are veggies in a raw diet. Cat's can't process vegetables, and vegetables have basically no nutritional value for an obligate carnivore. So don't pay any attention to ground recipes that tell you to add broccoli or spinach or garlic (garlic is supposedly toxic in high quantities - I think small quantities are supposed to be ok but I still don't see why cats would need it). Some recipes call for psyllium powder which can help relieve constipation. Maybe that is beneficial to some cats, but if a cat is constipated on a raw diet the first thing you should do is reduce the amount of bone they're getting. 10% bone is too much for some cats and can cause constipation.
The reason you see some ground raw food recipes calling for a taurine supplement is because grinding and freezing can destroy the taurine in meat. Taurine is vital to cats. When you are grinding and then freezing food some people feel more comfortable adding taurine to ensure their cats are getting enough. I feed my cats franken prey, and I don't feel I need to add any supplements to their diet. I do feed plenty of heart (which is high in taurine, as is any hard working muscle like chicken thigh). I do give my cats raw eggs about once a week though, and I know some people add egg yolks to ground raw food.
To you I'd suggest just trying something simple like chicken breast with all your cats. See if their interested in raw meat, and whether they're willing to chew chunks of meat or not. You can also try bones like chicken wings or quail. My older cat took a lot of work to convince her that she could eat bones, but the very first time I plopped a chicken wing in front of my younger cat she completely demolished it without hesitation.

Raw food and home prepared food was always used in my family so I took it for granted. Watching indoor / outdoor cats and ferals, I do think that they will eat some greenery although they are carnivores. For one thing, they will self medicate. Coming from a family of traditional herbalists (illegal now here) I will also use plants in medication for cats - especially purely indoor ones who can't browse.

Maybe this could be of some interest to you. Havent tried it myself personally but I want to when I can find a grinder. Its called Feline Instincts. Its a powder supplement that you can add to any ground meat (without bones). They even have a nice little video and it seems pretty easy but like I said havent tried it myself because I have no grinder. You dont have to add liver to this one either. Its already in there.
Feline Instincts My Natural Premix
Maybe something easy to start out with?? Its probably what Im going to use when I start.

How good of you to consider raw feeding! The information can be overwhelming, so don't analyze too much or you'll be paralyzed into in-action.
KISS: keep it simple simple. You might want to start out with commercial raw. Looks like canned food so it's a good way to transition your cats, especially if they are now eating kibble/dry food. Start out with giving them some raw meat and see how they react.
I feed frankenprey because I didn't want to grind my own meat and can't quite make myself split open a (dead) mouse. But it is a matter of personal choice, time constraints, comfort level.
You mentioned something about one of your cats loosing hair; this could be a sign of an allergy to a specific protein or grain. If that's the case, try grinding meat from the same animal, in other words, chicken, chicken liver, chicken kidney. If your cats don't show improvement in that area, then write back and we'll guide you further.

The Matkahuolto bus service operates through all regions and you can easily access different places. However, trains are more comfortable than buses. In the train, you would find playing rooms for children, cafes and so on.

The Eastern Orthodox Church was constructed in the late 1800s and attracts a large number of tourists every year. Situated at the top of a hill, the church is home to many important religious icons, several centuries old. It can be conveniently accessed by the use of car hire so that you can fully look at it.

I'm too done-in to come up with a catchy title. Just wanted to check in and say that we're all fine, Mira is doing fantastic. As Gran put it, "It's like she's always been here."
And by that, apparently, she means that Mira hadn't been here a week before we exposed her to the flu, as we do with all of our loved ones. I was just getting over last week's Africa-in-my-lungs bronchitis when the majority of us joined Ian in his cold/flu/whateveritisihateit.
Have already medicated for the evening as I type this, so I cannot be held responsible for these sentences.
But, in the grand scheme of things, our adjustment to Miss Mira has been pretty smooth. She already adores her brothers. And her sisters are growing on her. And since she now knows our dark secret about sharing the plague with one another at least a few times a year, it's safe to say, we're all gonna get along just fine.

Tame Impala anything but at Turner Hall show
Kevin Parker's perfectionist tendencies went into overdrive on last year's "Lonerism," psychedelic band Tame Impala's sophomore full-length album. Besides insisting on playing nearly all the instruments in the studio, Parker mixed the album two times, flying from his native Australia to New York on both occasions, to get the details just to his liking.
Tame Impala didn't have the luxury of do-overs and fine tuning in its sold-out, 85-minute Turner Hall Ballroom set Sunday. And if Parker attempted to bring that obsessive craftsmanship to a live setting, he would run the risk of sabotaging the set's potential for spontaneity. »Read Full Article(1)
'Rep Lab' cooks up mixed batch of one-acts
In her curtain speech before Saturday night's sold-out performance of "Rep Lab," Sandy Ernst - who oversees the Milwaukee Repertory Theater's justly acclaimed intern program - made clear that the Rep simply couldn't stage its shows without each year's crop of two dozen interns.
But even as we routinely note these interns' presence - in smaller roles, as extras and in program credits, where they are listed as understudies and assistants - we rarely get to really see what they can do. Now in its third year, "Rep Lab" - short plays showcasing intern actors, directors, choreographers and designers - lets us appreciate how good they can be. »Read Full Article

Great news Frazetta fans! Starting this May, the newly re-modeled Frank Frazetta Art Museum will reopen until September.
From the Frazetta Art Museum website: "After nearly 5 years, My wife Lori and I reopened the doors to accommodate the patrons for the first time as sole proprietors. The museum and estate property was previously owned and operated by my parents since 1971. Exhibiting my personal collection of my fathers art made it all worth the time and effort we both put forth in acquiring the estate property. With sole ownership, I had my personal concept on how to present my collection of my fathers art and memorabilia to the fans." – Frank Frazetta Jr.
To coincide incidentally with the reopening of the museum is a new biography, which would probably be a more correct term to use rather than just "book". But don't let the word biography fool you, It's a biography in every sense of the word, but done the Frazetta way. Chock full of glorious Frazetta Art!
Written and compiled by Frank's son, Frank Jr., "Frank Frazetta Art and Rememberences" is the most up to date and comprehensive look at the man who was Frank Frazetta.
In equal abundance are family photos, most never before seen, from every era of Frazetta's life. All as seen through the eyes of his son, Frank Jr., the book details in chronological order the career of the greatest fantasy painters of all time.
Of special interest to me was seeing The inclusion of early Frazetta comic books. Not his professional comic art, most of that stuff can be found in other collections. I mean actual Frank Frazetta hand drawn comic books.
Apparently Frank Sr. was a King Kong fan…
As an avid Frzetta collector, I own almost every book I can track down. And while some books strive to stand out, most don't. More or less you find yourself flipping through and gazing at the same beautiful paintings over and over again. Not that there's anything wrong with that, but if you're a Frazetta fan like me, you always want to see more. "Frank Frazetta Art and Rememberances" supplies just that.
Ed. note: I came across this new book while at The Chiller Theatre convention in New Jersey earlier this year. I had a chance to speak with Frank's grandson who informed me of the museums re-opening. The Frazetta estate has a lot of cool new merchandise to offer, but I dig the more vintage items…a few of which I came across recently I'd like to share:
Sealed Frazetta calandar from 1979, in its original mailing box.
Carnival style mirror from 1979
"Fire and Ice" portfolio from 1991
And last but not least, set of 3 factory sealed "Female Golpher" watercolor prints from 1990 (painted in 87)
I have an additional set for sale for $75 please email me if interested. Long live Frank Frazetta!
Some people knew Herb Trimpe as the comic book artist of titles such as Shogun Warriors, Godzilla, G.I. Joe, and The Defenders among others. But to me he will always be known as the artist on The Incredible Hulk.
Herb had an astounding approx. seven year run on the series starting with full pencils in issue #107 all the way until issue #193. In that time Herb got to draw almost every Marvel character (that guest starred in the series) plus a plethora of interesting colorful and insanely brilliant villains. To many people, he is the quintessential Hulk artist.
Back cover to Marvel Treasury Edition #5 "Hulk on the Rampage!" 1975
After a short stint in the Air Force Herb joined Marvel comics in 1966 as a photostat operator. He was basically making photo copies and submitting artwork whenever he could. In 1968 he began his run on the Hulk, and the character's popularity began to grow by leaps and bounds.
Herb was responsible for creating many characters; from Jim Wilson to Doc Samson and the military unit the Hulkbusters, a term coined by him which is still in use in the Marvel U to this day. His style ranged from the very dynamic to the often flat graphic to even bordering on the psychedelic. Herb was a big fan of E.C. Comics, and this influence showed through in the various monstrosities he created to battle ol' greenskin.
A little bit of science fiction and a whole lot of action were the key elements that defined Herb Trimpe's tenure on the Hulk.
In October 1974, in the Hulk title, the Marvel Universe would be changed forever. On the final page a new character appeared; a tiny little guy with three claws on his hand called The Wolverine.
Although he is often mis-credited as the co-creator of this character, Herb's name will always be synonymous with the Canadian anti-hero. Created by writer Len Wein and artist John Romita, Trimpe said he "distinctly remembers" Romita's sketch, and that, "The way I see it, they sewed the monster together and I shocked it to life! … It was just one of those secondary or tertiary characters, actually, that we were using in that particular book with no particular notion of it going anywhere." Boy, were they wrong. Wolverine's first "full" appearance would be in the next issue, the classic Hulk #181.
As a bit of trivia, it appears The Wolverine was possibly a slight re-work of a character who also appeared in The Hulk series a few years earlier…in 1969 issues #120/121 featured an Inhuman called "Leonus" who faired almost as well as Wolverine did against the green skinned giant.
In 2013, I was lucky enough to get my copy of Hulk #181 signed by Herb. When I asked him how many copies did he think he had signed over his lifetime, he just looked at me and smiled, "More than have been printed."
Herb passed away on April 13th at the age of 75 and is survived by his wife Patricia and four children. In 2002 Herb was a recipient of The Bob Clampett Humanitarian Award for his work as a chaplain at the World Trade Center site following the September 11 attacks. Trimpe was ordained a deacon in the Episcopal Diocese of New York on May 30, 1992.
In a statement, Marvel editor-in-chief Axel Alonso said, "To me, no artist is as synonymous with the Incredible Hulk as Herb Trimpe, who gave the Jade Giant a sense of pathos and scale that set the bar for every artist that followed him. Like a Hulk-punch, Trimpe's art truly exploded off the page. Comics lost a giant."

Released today, March 9th, 36 years ago, Starcrash has literally been called one of the worst/best sci-fi movies of all time. From Wikipedia: "Kurt Dahlke of DVD Talk said, "Starcrash is a masterpiece of unintentionally bad filmmaking. Cozzi's Star Wars knock-off buzzes around with giddy brio, mixing ridiculous characters with questionably broad acting, an incredibly simple yet still nonsensical plot derivative to Star Wars, and budget special effects that transcend into the realm of real art. It's a completely ridiculous movie.
The memories came flooding back, and it took me all of 10 seconds to decide whether or not to add this to my collection. I couldn't resist, and now I get to look at it every day and couldn't be happier. Happy 36th anniversary Starcrash, if it wasn't for you…well, I'd have a big blank space in my wall in need of filling.

Thanks for looking!
This afternoon I visited my local Wonder Book & Video which is never a disappointment. Today's haul included this gem from 1984: How To Draw Star Wars Heroes, Creatures, Spaceships and other Fantastical Things by Lee J. Ames. (He's the author of over 50 how-to-draw books, duh)
Like every book of this nature, it breaks down the image into simple shapes for the younger artist to get a grasp on how to properly construct an image. And Lee isn't a half bad artist either
There are instructions oh how to draw almost 30 different things from R2 to the Dagobah Swamp. Since the book came out in 84, it covers most of the ships and characters from the original trilogy.
The book covers all the human characters as well (Luke, Han, Leia, Lando) but the robots and ships are always the coolest to draw
Careful drawing Akbar, he's very "phallic" looking…
Following the simple steps it's impossible to draw these designs incorrectly
Finally toward the end there are instructions and examples of shading
James, Threepio and I hope you enjoyed this little tutorial! Now get to drawing…
Nothing says Halloween more than monsters. And nobody did monsters better than guys like Jack Kirby and Steve Ditko. But before they made the Marvel superheroes, they made…
That's actually not quite accurate. You see before they were called Marvel Comics, they were called Timely Comics. And before Timely, they were Atlas Comics. Atlas featured the likes of Captain America, Sub-Mariner and The Human Torch. That was the 40s. By the 50s it was about westerns and romance, and by the 60s, it was monsters monsters and more monsters.
Publisher Martin Goodman saw that EC Comics was doing well with their monster line, so he had Marvel follow suit. As sales started to wain on the monster stuff, he saw DC Comics was doing well with the supers at the time…and well, we all know what happened next…
So without further ado, here is a gallery of some ass kickin' monster comics covers from the early days of Marvel. All of these titles would eventually switch over to the popular superheroes we know today, but for now…let's get SCARY!
Happy Halloween…

Bored? Looking for a new challenge?
You can watch basketball, baseball, track, gymnastics, tennis, aerobics, volleyball, and weight lifting on ESPN, or you can get out and enjoy them by joining your school team. Not into team sports? There's French club, the debating team, chess club, student government, radio, newspaper, yearbook, environmental club, 4-H, drama, choir, photography, Students Against Destructive Decisions, jazz band, Business Professionals of America, computer club, and more.
So many choices can seem overwhelming, but getting involved in new activities with new people is a fun way to challenge yourself. Here are some basics and benefits of getting involved.
So what's in it for you? You get to explore your physical, creative, social, political, and career interests with like-minded people. You'll find friends: Trying something different may bring you in contact with people you didn't know who share your interests and curiosity.
You can get involved with groups as a way to get support from other students with your background, such as Latino or Jewish clubs. A club or group also can be a great way to meet people who are different from you. Lots of youth programs bring people together with those who are different as a way to break down the barriers between people. Mark, a senior who lives in Washington, DC, discovered this when he volunteered for a group that uses baseball as a way to bring special-education kids and kids with disabilities together with regular kids.
Participating in extracurricular activities helps you in other ways, too: It looks good on college and job applications and shows admissions officers and employers you're well-rounded and responsible. Specific activities help with specific goals — if you want to teach language or get a bilingual job, being the president of the Spanish club shows the depth of your commitment.
The most basic reason for joining a club or team is that it gives you something better to do than staring at the wall, wandering the hall, or napping all afternoon. People who are involved and engaged are less likely to become addicted to bad habits, like smoking or drinking.
Review the activities your school offers and listen to other students' experiences to find an activity that meets your needs. Think about your interests, abilities, and time — is your sister tired of playing chess with you? Do you wish you had more computer time? Are you tired of shooting hoops alone? Are you looking to meet friends or get support? Do you need to increase the appeal of your college application? Don't limit yourself to the familiar — try something new.
Think about different roles within groups that you might want to try — president, captain, participant, leader, support person. Each role is important. Being president teaches you leadership and management skills, but involves more responsibility; being a member gives you structure and is less stressful. You can also lend your skills in areas that are needed, such as using your financial skills to be the treasurer.
At the beginning of the school year, teachers and principals often have a list of activities to join or make announcements — for example, your history teacher may be the debating team advisor. Look on school bulletin boards and in the school newspaper. Ask friends what they like. Join right away or wait to see how your schedule will be and join later.
Ask questions of the activity advisor before you join. Some things to ask include:
Each school is unique with its own array of offerings, but if you don't find what you want, try a community center or volunteer for a local nonprofit organization or business. Also consider organizations like Youth in Action, a group for teens who want to participate in service projects.
It's easy to join one too many exciting activities. Ask as many questions as possible before you join. Sit down with your school schedule, work schedule, and other activities and try to map out what's realistic. Are you taking a class this semester that requires extra studying time? Do you need to focus on grades? Does your bus only come once an hour by the time practice is over instead of every 15 minutes? Will you have time to eat, sleep, and relax? Everyone needs downtime. If an activity adds lots of stress to your life, it's not for you.
Once you've joined an activity, if you feel stressed out, reconsider. It's important to keep a balance between schoolwork, extracurricular activities, a job, social life, and your health. If you join a club and need to quit for any reason, talk with the advisor or coach. Be direct and polite and explain your situation and feelings. Sometimes it's just not the right match for you or it's too time-consuming. Perhaps you can participate in a less time-consuming way or rejoin later. You won't be helping yourself or the group if you frantically do homework during a competition or fall asleep during practice. Saying "no" can be the most mature and responsible thing to do.

The 2016 space launch score card (as of October 24, 2016 ):
Planned Russian space launches 2016:
Nov. 16, 00:05 Moscow Time: A Soyuz-FG rocket to launch the Soyuz MS-03 (No. 733) transport spacecraft with a crew of three from Baikonur to the International Space Station, ISS. The launch was previously scheduled for Nov. 30, 2016. Following the Soyuz MS-02 launch delay in September 2016, the mission was rescheduled to Nov. 16, 2016.
Nov. 23: A Proton-M/Briz-M rocket to launch the 6,900-kilogram EchoStar-21 (T2) satellite for EchoStar Satellite Services of Englewood, Colorado. The International Launch Services, ILS, which markets Protons overseas, announced an agreement to launch an unspecified EchoStar satellite on May 13, 2013. The mission was originally planned at the end of 2015 or beginning of 2016. During 2016, it was postoponed to early June, then to June 25 and by the end of May it was expected at the end of August. However on July 28, 2016, Roskosmos announced another delay of the launch until Oct. 10, 2016, apparently to provide more time for the investigation into the problem with the operation of the Proton's second stage during the launch of the Intelsat-31 satellite. By Sept. 1, the launch was postponed until November 23.
Dec. 1, 17:50 Moscow Time: A Soyuz-U rocket to launch a Progress MS-04 (No. 434) cargo ship from Baikonur to the International Space Station, ISS. (The launch was previously scheduled for July 1, 2016. Following the Soyuz MS-02 launch delay in September 2016, the mission was rescheduled from Oct. 20, 10:40 Moscow Time. to Dec. 1, 2016.)
Uncertain dates:
Oct. 31: A Rockot booster to launch the 900-kilogram Sentinel-5P remote-sensing satellite from Plesetsk. (As of January 2014, the launch was expected at the beginning of 2016 and was also expected in mid-April and mid July 2016.)
Postponed from September of October: A Proton rocket to launch Blagovest No. 11L military communications satellite from Baikonur.
2016: A Soyuz-2-1b rocket to launch the second satellite for the EKS early-warning constellation from Plesetsk. (As of December 2015)
Postponed from February: A Proton-M rocket to launch the Yamal-601 satellite for Gazprom Space Systems, a division of the largest Russian oil and natural gas producer. The Yamal 601 satellite, weighing over 5,700 kilograms, will be built by Thales Alenia Space on the flight proven Spacebus-4000 platform. The satellite will be launched into geostationary transfer orbit and has an anticipated service lifetime of 15 years. Yamal 601 satellite will replace Yamal 202 and will provide fixed communications and transmission services in C-band over Europe, the Middle East, Northern Africa and South-East Asia from the orbital position at 49 degrees East longitude. This satellite is also designed for development of business in Ku- and Ka-bands in the Russian market.
The mission marked the second Russian company switching from domestic communications satellite developers to foreign suppliers. Previously, Russian Satellite Communications Company, RSCC, also gave contracts to non-Russian satellite producers.
The International Launch Services, ILS, a US-based company that markets the Proton rocket to commercial customers, announced the contract for the launch of Yamal-601 on Jan. 22, 2014.
Postponed from 2015:
End of 2015 - end of 2016: A Soyuz or Vega rocket to launch the 200-kilogram Taranis satellite into a quasi-sun-synchronous orbit with an altitude of 700 kilometers. Developed by the French space agency, CNES, the Taranis satellite (Tool for the Analysis of RAdiation from lightNIng and Sprites) will be a secondary payload during a mission to deliver multiple spacecraft. The satellite will study magnetosphere-ionosphere-atmosphere coupling via transient processes, focusing in particular on two aspects: determining the characteristics and frequency of transient luminous events (TLE) involved in the coupling between the ionosphere and atmosphere, and characterizing the electron beams accelerated from the atmosphere to the magnetosphere. The contract for the mission between Toulouse Space Center and Arianespace was announced on July 9, 2012. The agreement also included options for the launch of two other CNES satellites, Microscope and Merlin.
Postponed from May 2015: A Proton-M/Block DM-03 rocket to launch a trio of GLONASS-M navigation satellites (No. 51, 52, 53; Block 50) from Baikonur. (Postponed from 2014 and from beginning of 2015.)
Postponed from December 2015: A Soyuz-2-1b/Fregat rocket to launch the Meteor-M No. 2-1 remote-sensing satellite, along with a cluster of secondary payloads, including Ionosfera-1, Ionosfera-2, Flying Laptop, Flock 2, Scout, AISSat-3, Perseus-O1, Perseus-O2.
Postponed from 2015: A Soyuz-2 rocket to launch a Pion-NKS electronic intelligence satellite from Plesetsk. (As of 2014)
Postponed from 2015: A Soyuz-2 rocket to launch a cluster of Globalstar satelllites from Baikonur. (As of March 2013)
Postponed from 2015: Soyuz rocket to launch the Foton-M No. 5 spacecraft. The spacecraft is expected to be equipped with solar panels, modified service module, and the new liquid-propellant orbit correction engine.

Postponed from around 2015: Russia to launch Kosmos-SKh satellite to monitor agricultural development from space.
Postponed from 2015: A Soyuz-2.1b/Fregat rocket to launch a GLONASS-K2 satellite from Plesetsk.
Postponed from 2015: Russia to launch the Kartograf-OE No. 2 remote-sensing satellite.
Postponed from 2015: A Rockot booster to make three flights with military payloads from Pad 3 at Site 133 in Plesetsk. (As of middle of 2014)
Delayed from fourth quarter of 2014: A Zenit-3SLB/Fregat-SB to launch a Ukrainian Lybid satellite from Baikonur. (As of April 2012. When first announced in 2006, the mission was promised to take place in 2010 and was later expected in September 2011. In April 2010, the launch was promised in April 2012. It was then delayed to the fourth quarter of 2013. In August 2014, Ukrainian space agency said that the spacecraft would be ready for launch in the fourth quater of that year).
Canceled missions
April: A Dnepr booster to launch a pair of Iridium NEXT satellites from Silo facility No. 370/11 in Dombarovsky. (The mission was postponed from June 2015.)
2015: Soyuz-2-1b/Fregat-SB rocket to launch the Arkon-2M No. 1 remote-sensing satellites for all-weather radar observations of the Earth surface from a 550-600-kilometer Sun-synchronous orbit. The launch was originally promised in 2009 (299) and later in 2012-2013. In 2010, a pair of spacecraft was scheduled for launch in 2013, however by 2012, the first Arkon-2M was expected to fly in 2015 and the second in 2016. The Arkon-2M program was canceled by November 2012 to free funds for Arktika, Resurs and Obzor projects.
2014-2015: Russia to launch a solar telescope -- Koronas-4-Monitor -- to replace a failed Koronas-Foton spacecraft. (A February 2010 proposal from Astrophysics Institute at the National Nuclear Research University.) By the end of March 2010, a project to replace Koronas-Foton was identified as Solaris by the Solar System division within Space Council of the Russian Academy of Sciences. The division recommended Lebedev Physics Institute, FIAN, as a main developer of the satellite's payload. The issue of the spacecraft bus remained open at the time, with NPO Lavochkin's yet-to-be-flown Navigator platform as one of the contenders. Unlike Koronas-Foton, the new telescope was expected to be narrowly specialized in solar observations and it was to be inserted into very high orbit to minimize the shadow from Earth and the influence of the planet's radiation belt. As of April 2010, the project was yet to be approved for the inclusion into the Russian space program or to receive any funding.
2015: Russia to launch MKA FKI No. 5 ARKA orbital solar observatory. (Canceled in March 2014)
A Soyuz-2.1b rocket to launch the Arktika-R No. 1 satellite into the polar orbit for radar observations of the polar areas.

It was 100,000 degrees this weekend (okay, three zeros need to be removed) so we decided to try and cool off by heading to the beach. I like to live the fantasy that I'm on a deserted island so we searched for the emptiest beach I could find near us and it turned out to be Mansion Beach on Block Island. So armed a picnic lunch that could feed about 10 people (even though it was just the two of us), we set off on our great adventure to this little island. A photo tour of our day after the jump!
Let's Explore NY: Theater for a New Audience
Let's catch some awesome theater at the off-off-Broadway Theater for a New Audience and eat some tasty Mediterranean at Miriam. You can take pretty much any train here (literally, the 2,3,4,5,N,Q,R,B,D,G, and LIRR all stop nearby).
Lunching in Palm Desert
While being young and wild and free in the California desert, we stumbled upon 3 very tasty lunches. Be sure to stop by these places, next time you're out spa-ing or hiking or Coachella-ing.
1. Wilma and Frieda's Cafe. This place has amazing brunch. They are famous for their short ribs eggs benedict; the meat is soft and the muffin is buttery. Their blackberry french toast is also pretty great; it's filled with vanilla custard and comes with lots of fresh blackberries.
Eating my way through the OC
I was again left to my own devices for most of the OC but this time I had a car. Though I did try to go for a walk and again people looked at me like I was insane. Anyway, the OC actually has some really tasty food. Read on to find out what I found to eat in 24 hours in the OC.
The breakfast of champions can be had at Sidecar Doughnuts. Seriously the donuts here are really awesome. I couldn't pick just one to eat so I got four (huckleberry, meyer lemon, almond crunch, and cinnamon). Lest you think I'm a total glutton; I only ate a quarter of each and saved the rest for my hard at work friends.
Walking(!) around LA
I got into LAX at 10am and was left to my own devices while my friends were at work. I decided to go to Downtown LA in the hopes that it was somewhat walkable. It was very walkable and I got to see a lot of cool stuff and ate some really delicious food while I was there.
To get from LAX to downtown, there's a superconvenient flyaway bus that costs $9 and drops off at Union Station; it stops at every terminal so just look for the bus sign when walking out. I was headed to the OC on Amtrak later in the evening so I conveniently left my luggage at the Amtrak luggage check for $4 per piece. It's for ticketed passagers only but you can buy a ticket for $8 so it's still a pretty good deal if you decide not to use the ticket.
A Step-by-Step Guide to Getting into the Reading Rooms at the Library of Congress
The guides at the Library of Congress don't advertise this but it's quite easy to get access to the cool books and walk around (quietly!) in the main reading room.
Step 1: Be really into books.
Step 2: Fill out this pre-registration form. You can fill this out up to 2 weeks before you go. If you're already in the Library of Congress don't worry, you can fill this form out when you get your library card.
A walking tour of the smaller museums in DC
When I was a kid, we went on multiple field trips to learn about our nation's capital. We visited the Capitol, the Smithsonian, the White House, and all of the presidential memorials. I remember being so tired out at the end of the day, I immediately plopped into bed. On this trip, I was determined to wander around some smaller places and try to find some quiet amidst the National Mall madness.
First Stop: Library of Congress I love libraries so this was a must-see for me. The Great Hall in the Jefferson Building has beautiful and intricate carvings. Note that the silver metal in the Hall is actually aluminum since aluminum was more precious than gold when it was built. If you stay tuned for a later post, I'll teach you how to get into the various reading rooms…

Romania is the largest country in the region and a long-established pioneer in both the exploration and downstream sectors.
ROGS will focus attention entirely on the role Romania is currently playing and more importantly can potentially play in the regional and wider European hydrocarbons industry.
ROGS will pool thought leaders from across Europe to properly contextualize the role Romania can play as a pillar of European energy.
Held under the patronage of:
The Ministry of Energy

We are confident that our website will provide clear and concise help and give our patients the information they require in an easy and convenient format. It has been designed with the patient's needs at the forefront of everything, from checking surgery times to letting us know what you think of us.
At last, our planned extension works will start on 3rd October. These works will give us the additional space required to accommodate the clinics held currently at Spitfire Surgery, which will then close on 31st March 2017 as planned.
However it will mean we will have to expect some building-work noise, lose some car parking capacity and the current access to the main front door from the car park. Whilst the building works at the front of the premises are taking place, if you park in the car park, pedestrian access to the entrance of the building will be changed but well signposted. We apologise for any inconvenience this will cause.

The Dagons
Singer/guitarist Karie Jacobson and drummer Drew Kowalski of the Dagons were a duo way before this current trend of rock minimalism became all the rage. And forget about the candy-coated innocence of faux siblings Jack and Meg. Comparing the White Stripes to the Dagons is like comparing the Osmonds to the Addams Family.
Jacobson and Kowalski transplanted themselves from San Francisco to L.A.'s Atwater Village in 2000, bringing with them a pair of hauntingly eclectic albums, The Other Ending and Make Us Old. Released on their own Dead Sea Captain Records, they contain a moody, poetic collection of material heavily influenced by the cerebral sci-fi of Philip K. Dick in songs like "He Went Into Space" and the uncensored works of the Brothers Grimm on eerie numbers like "Changeling" and "Poison Comb." Musically, Jacobson's dreamy vocals are juxtaposed with the near-savage assault of Drew's drumming, sometimes resembling a strange hybrid of Romanian Gypsy folk music and punk rock.
Teeth for Pearls is the Dagons' current release, on which they prove to be highly adept at different musical approaches. Sure, they can pull off Zeppelin-style rock ("Done") or the pop thing ("Dell of Ferns"), but they'd much rather screw with our minds with the backward-masked nightmare "Ürdöguzes."
The Dagons
Clubhouse, 1320 East Broadway Road in Tempe
Are scheduled to perform an all-ages show with Second Hand Emotion, Reindeer Tiger Team, the Ruby Lee, and Treasure Mammal on Thursday, April 15. Showtime is 8 p.m.
The most common misconception about the Dagons is that their name was swiped from either the H.P. Lovecraft story or the recent Stuart Gordon B-flick based on it. According to Webster's, the "Dagon" is actually the half-human, half-fish god of the ancient Philistines. And the Dagons set the record straight as to the genesis of their moniker with the cover of Pearls, which depicts a cute mermaid. So take that, Stuart Gordon!

Which Janu Sirsasana Varitation is Your Fave?
As a runner, all three Janu Sirsasana variation are poses I always include post-run in order to increase flexibility in my hamstrings. They all stretch my legs differently though. Janu Sirsasana A, where your foot is next to your inner thigh, is a nice relaxing hamstring stretch, perfect when the backs of my legs are really tight after a long run. Janu Sirsasana B, where you sit on your foot, gives me a much deeper hamstring stretch. Then there's Janu Sirsasana C, the weirdest of the three, which is great for stretching out the muscles in your foot. So which variation do you like best?

Boise Police says Amanda R. Sheets was taken into custody on Tuesday.
Authorities say an incident took place at a Boise home on Jan. 9 of last year.
Evidence indicates the suspect was involved in the illegal sexual acts with the victim, who is known to her, on that date, BPD says. The incident was reported to police by a third party on March 9 of this year and a detailed investigation followed.
She's been charged with felony sexual battery of a minor 16 or 17 years of age.

The Press Newspaper
The Press Newspaper
Former City of Toledo Deputy Mayor Dean Monske says the new Chinese developers of the Marina District are sponsoring local Fourth of July fireworks displays.
Sounds logical — history tell us the Chinese invented fireworks. In addition, the Chinese firm Dashing Pacific Group already owns The Docks restaurant complex.
Recker, who was the former administrator of Whitehouse, replaced former Northwood Administrator Pat Bacon, who retired last October.
The petitions have been certified by the board, according to the board of elections.
Northwood's former fire and Emergency Medical Service (EMS) medical director had concerns for years about whether the Northwood Fire Department met the "standard of care."
Dr. David Miramontes, who was Northwood's EMS medical director for nearly 10 years before taking a job as the full-time EMS director in Washington, D.C., last month, told The Press he spoke to former Fire Chief Tim Romstadt in the past about problems he saw in the fire department.
Northwood Mayor Mark Stoner has proposed an Advanced Life Support (ALS) system in the city that promises 24-7 coverage by a paramedic in the volunteer fire department.
Stoner made the proposal at a council meeting last week.
Currently, there is no such guarantee that a paramedic will respond to EMS calls in the city.
No results found.

Yoshinori Ono Talks Super Street Fighter IV 3DS
The producer of the SF series talks about what he wants out of the 3DS port.
Super Street Fighter IV 3D Edition was shown off at E3 just a little bit, but Famitsu magazine got a chance in this week's issue to sit down with producer Yoshinori Ono and discuss exactly what he wants to see out of the game.
"We thought about a DS or PSP port when we were considering porting SSFIV to a portable system, but neither system would've been able to produce a port that I would be satisfied with," Ono said. "That's around the time when the 3DS was announced to us, and we decided that we could produce Street Fighter on that system well enough that everything fun about the series would shine through. There was also the fact that we could use all of its network abilities to help gamers communicate with each other."
The way Ono envisions it, the 3DS Super Street Fighter IV port will be just that -- a faithful port with all 35 characters. The 3D will be there, yes, but it won't directly affect gameplay at all. "We're in the midst of a trial-and-error process, throwing ideas around the development team for things that'd be neat to work with in 3D," he said. "The system itself is still purely SSFIV -- we're thinking about ways 3D can be used in the visuals instead."
Given that this is coming out on Nintendo hardware, is Ono considering simplifying the gameplay any for the younger audience? "We don't have any intention of pandering to children here," he replied to Famitsu. "We'd rather make a game that a kid wants to strive to become better at. Of course, we'd like to make it a little more accessible since it's not on a home console, but we're not thinking about kids so much as people who stopped playing SF after the Super NES version." Does that mean they're rebalancing the gameplay? "We have no intention of rebalancing the strength of the moves. We are conducting trials, though, to see how we can use the bottom screen and Slide Pad. Maybe we could use the screen to simulate multiple button presses and the pad for special moves, or the like."
The 3DS itself has no solid release date yet, of course, which makes it difficult for Ono to guess when the SSFIV port will come out. "We don't know exactly when yet, but I would like to see it out while the original version is still popular in arcades," he said. "Releasing a simple upgrade to arcades would whittle down our audience, but getting the game out on lots of different platforms will hopefully help expand it instead."

PSP not powerful enough?Posted: Jul 29, 2010 12:00AM PST by jdeezy
wait, what? has Ono seen Peace Walker, Chains of Olympus, Crisis Core? you're telling me they couldn't scale down the graphics enough to make a workable PSP version of SF4? the 3DS port screenshots look pretty chunky.
not buying it. i'm guessing the real reasons are (1) the lackluster support of the platform from Sony and (2) piracy. they wouldn't make enough money back for what it would cost to develop.
pretty sad IMHO. the PSP has been all but worthless for a few years. a SF4 port would have had me carrying mine everywhere again.

Nice one.
really....Posted: Jul 29, 2010 12:00AM PST by Kevroeques
so what they're saying is that younger people don't play sony or microsoft consoles? the only difference is, kids who play nintendo games grow up well behaved, while the latter learn to spew the phrases "faggot" and "suck my dick" in online deathmatches before they learn how to properly beat a puzzle in a game.
Kids?Posted: Jul 28, 2010 12:00AM PST by sepewrath
Don't really understand the question about making things easier for kids. The adults playing SFIV now were kids when SFII came out and SFIV makes thing easier for you than SFII. Anyway its good to hear that the plan is for it to be a full featured port in regards to characters and mechanics. Those are the important things, whether they still have animated openings and endings is really not that important--to me at least.
"Kids"Posted: Jul 29, 2010 12:00AM PST by Tonfa_X
I think its more of a blanket statement to the said crowd that doesn't really play fighters other than ones of a less complex variety like SMASH BROS. (Nothing against either one of the aforementioned franchise).
I do think its a little lame since I know more people my age who, not only own a DS, but also cannot stand the gameplay of SFIV on the whole.
i surely hope that..Posted: Jul 28, 2010 12:00AM PST by zangief2000
playing ssf4 on a regular basis, and by that i mean like 2-4 hours a day, wouldn't cause the lifespan of the the 3DS d-pad to shorten exponentially. that, and of course, here's to hoping for a portable arcade stick too :D
DamnPosted: Jul 28, 2010 12:00AM PST by GenesisDoes
The shear speed these developers have latched onto the 3DS!
Cautiously excited as wellPosted: Jul 28, 2010 12:00AM PST by Tonfa_X
If its an untouched port with the potential for good online play thats great, but with the layout of the DS, I worry about being able to control it just how you want it to.
Besides fighting games can really fuck up a handheld after so much time.

Haven't been able to play a Street Fighter game since I stopped owning consoles that actually had Street Fighter games on them-- meaning I stopped shortly after Street Fighter II. Played a little bit of SFIV on the 360 when I lived near friends who owned one, but-- well, I'm looking forward to this game. Hopefully I'm not, well, getting my hopes up.
"...use all of its network abilities to help gamers communicate..."Posted: Jul 28, 2010 12:00AM PST by DevourerOfTime
So the network capabilities of the 3DS are not necessarily on par with that of the PS3 and the 360, but generally better than the PSP and the DS? What exactly prevented them from using the PSP and DS's online that the 3DS is capable of?
Nintendo has to release more information on their upcoming consoles.

For the last several months I have been praying for all of you who are Children's Pastors around the world and for the ministries that you represent. Working with kids, parents, volunteers, and church attenders can be an ongoing blessing and challenge, therefore I continue to ask God that He will pour out His wisdom and grace on you as you complete this all important task!
Over the next week several of us bloggers (Sam Luce, Dale Hudson, One Hope, Gina McClain, Matt McKee, CMConnect, Kenny Connelly) are sending out a survey regarding the state of children's ministry across the United States put out by Aspengrove.is. If you would like to participate you can click on the link below.
Once all of the results are tabulated several of us will be looking at the data and giving our thoughts and insights regarding the current state of Children's Ministry in the church. We will be able to see where we are, where we are going, and what we need to be doing to keep this awesome work moving forward with great momentum in the 21st Century!
The survey will take about 10-12 minutes…
Here is the link: https://aspengrove.typeform.com/to/rIhvkw
Thanks for participating and for all that you do! You guys and gals are the greatest and are deeply appreciated! I look forward to discussing the results with you in future blog posts!

I have had the week from hell. If it could go wrong I think it did. Here is what happened.
- My anxiety & agoraphobia decided to go into double time. Couldn't eat all day due to the panic attacks & nausea.
- Anxiety & agoraphobia after effects all day.
- Dad isn't listening to me tell him that I am not up to going out, goes out.
- Got home to find no water in the house.
- Doctor's Appointment – wound is better.
- Almost got t-boned on the way home by a tractor trailer.
- Well pump was out. $1000 to fix.
- Dad hits deer on way home from a meeting while driving the SUV. Messed up the hood, front driver panel, driver door, & one headlight. Looking at over $3000 in body work.
- R hasn't talked to Dad in over a week, but won't explain why she doesn't want to talk to him or why she i upset with him. They are over.
- Dakota is only worth about $3600. Insurance will probably total the SUV.
- Doctor put a gauze bandage on my leg & with my sensitive skin the gauze rips my skin apart. They were out of the foam bandages that they normally use. Just have to make it through Friday to get it changed.
Can I go back & hide in my bed until this storm of bad luck is gone? Please???
Happy note though is that the wound is smaller, & the doctor is agreeing with me that we keep the steroids on it so that it will heal. Yay!!!!
