Hey guys, let's see your boats
Figured if you have a picture, show it off. These are my two babies. Right now, both are going out the door for new. I have my 9' steelheader on the left. Just sold that one off. I'm in process of making the ultimate 1-2 man boat. Then, to left is my 16' Aire cataraft. I'm in process of selling the whole thing off to finish the building of my custom 16' 3-4 man fishing boat. I already have custom frame done. All I need to do is sell off and buy new tubes.
So, let's see your boats. Come one, come all.
"The Insertion Boat"
Well, it is inflatable - but I'm sure that a number of you might not like seeing me come your way
As well as this beast I'm in the market for a pontoon boat as well - so maybe some of you will start talking to me again.
Tight lines - tyler.

Motor??? Ah, how we've progressed over the years.
My 'first' drift boat was a 8 man inflat. 'war surplus' aircraft life raft with a few canoe paddles for the guys on the boat. One leg in, one out side trailing (bail out if Fred screwed up?.. don't go there .. only in a sweeper once :eyecrazy: New tree down so who would know?)
"Primitive," but the whole rig cost less than $200 when $200 was a lot of money. (Early 60's) Other option was a wood drift boat (usually made from a $20 pattern, guy still sells them) or beach it. Life was far more 'simple' then.
Interesting to see the new stuff.
You payed too much...
My partner who I still fish with and communicate with regularly bought a surpluss military life raft from a young fellow in the USCG stationed in Port Angeles back in1962 for $15.00. We were too young to drive so we conned old guys (Kids in there 20s& 30s) to go fishing with us so we could get the raft to the river.
There were dam few steelhead fishers back then and only a mere handful that used any type of boat or rafts to float down the rivers. We had been told that if we could get out to the Sol Duc River west of Lake Crescent we would find plenty of fish and that the river was big enough to operate our raft in, sounded like a good plan to us!
We found a fellow with a vehicle and made the plan to float from the east Sappho bridge to Chuck & Marys Cafe that would be the last Highway 101 bridge near Forks.
We got going at first light and were all excited about our new adventure we were equipped with the two little tiny blue aluminum paddles that came with the raft and a couple of ropes for tying the raft on to the top of the old guys VW micro bus. We also of course had a couple of chocolate bars for breakfast and lunch and a fishing rod for each of us.
The river in retrospect must have been perfect for floating that day as the mere fact that my partner and I are still fishing together will atest. (if our mothers had known the dangers we were exposed to they would never have let us leave the yard.)
Our equipment as you may have noticed did not include mention of anchors or bailing buckets or hand pumps or life jackets or..... how about expierience.
Without the ability to slow down or stop it was a fast ride with alot of yahooing and many futile attempts to get the boat over to the side of the river to bail it out so we could have at least a minimal chance to steer or slow it down to "Fish".
Somehow at the head of a Rapid near Lake Creek I managed to hook a really snotty hen of about 12# and as luck would have it we got close enough to an overhanging Alder branch that was grabbed to hold us steady in the current long enough to play the darn thing. After about 10 minutes the fish was laying on its side ready to be landed and since I did not mention having a net we did not have one so I grabbed my leader and tryed to lift the fish into the raft this was my first ever "Release" of a wild OP native steelhead.
Somehow we managed to finish the float down to our takeout and and the old guy who had driven us out and rode down river with us was a bit of a wet blanket the first thing he wanted to do when we got the raft loaded was to go to forks and get the hook removed from the back of his head. Oh I failed too mention that The Old Guy got in the way of a errant back cast and got hit so hard it broke a 12# leader (I think he introduced us to a few niffty new cuss words.)
We were done with forks and there was plenty of daylight left so we were dropped of by The Old Guy and my partner and I launched at Leyendeckers County Park and made a float down the Quillayute to Lapush where he had friends and would pick us up at dusk. The flat water of the Q was pretty boring and went by very fast my partner managed to hook a beautiful chrome bright buck and the current was slow enough that I was able to get the boat over to the side of the river where some fellows were plunking. These guys had a net and were as excited to net the fish as we were to see it get netted. The operation was a winner and we floated on down to Lapush the tide was ebbing and we almost did not make it to the beach with our scrawny little toy paddles, but we did make it and we did learn from all this.
Today with how to books on everything from rock climbing rafting and of course fishing I sometimes wonder if "Kids" get to test there stupidity as well as we tested ours?
Well thats the short version of the first raft and the first trip using it. Wow that was 41 years ago no wonder my joints ache so much, there getting old.
How fast can that sled go ? Looks like a screamer
PM Out
Nice boat, nice cast.
Area looks vaguely familar. Must be what the locals call the Sauk bar. Not so locals call the fly bar or mixer bar.
Nothing wrong with that Kush
before I bought my sled, I had a chance to buy an attack boat used by the military. One of those inflatables, but pretty bullet proof. I'm not sure if it was factory or converted, but had a pump on it. I assume in military they would want max output from pump, but in same aspect they may want the lower draft a pump gives you. But nothing wrong with it. If I could find one in 21', I'd buy one. LOL. Instead, I'll be buying a Northriver. LOL
PM, those boats can fly. I wish I would've bought my buddies boat. It went 55mph (per depth finder guage) with two of us in the boat. That wasn't full power either. It was a wonderful boat, just came up with my sled alot cheaper. At times wish I would've bought the inflatable. Alot lighter then my reinforced aluminum sled.
My new baby
Here's my new river transporter. Two frames, for me with lots of gear or two people with a little gear. Or I just use one frame for me with a light load. Tubes are 13' by 22". It all fits easily into the back of my small PU truck.
A Screamer
Kush' boat, that is. Going that fast in something that small is a bit surreal. Tyler likes to use all 28 of the Yammie's HP.
Kerry - that's actually a spot on the other side and quite a bit below the Mixer.
Good Memories - that was a perfect day for fishing.
That is actually Faber's Landing - river left (how's that for a non-local? :hehe: ) The caster is none other than Doublespey - if I recall he even got a fish that day!
Tight lines - tyler.
Still Living Large!
Faber's ferry is what is used to be called. Across from where you are is Faber's hill.
Since I got us way off topic. Fished Faber's yesterday. Never liked it in the past. I think it fishes nice and might even hold a fish. Although I think you are more likely to time it right and get a fish in transit.
Just for that Kerry
YOU'RE OUTTA HERE!!!!!!!!!!!!! You can't come back no more for throwing us off topic.
Nothing wrong with going off topic. I'm not going to .
I found a couple more pics, thought I'd show off. This is a picture of my old whitewater frame converted to fish from. Has myself and my girlfriend taking off for a float on the Nooch. Gonna be selling this package as it is soon (minus the swivel cooler seat, was stolen, only have a new cooler w/o seat now). It's a great boat. But, have new frame now, and going to be buying new tubes with money I get from selling boat.
Nothing against off topic posts but a little nervous over specific discussions of favorite runs. Next thing you know I will log on here and read that the seam is 75' out and there are two pockets one high and one at the bottom. Come on people
Skagit Bad!
I said he got a fish that day - but I did not say he got it there
Tight lines - tyler.
Still Living Large!
I will gladly give you or anyone else the specifics on Faber's or any other run on the Skagit/Sauk. I only fish them 3 or 4 times a week. (hint of sarcasm here)
I don't think letting people know my opinion (again its just my opinion and I am certainly not the end authority here) of a very well known boat launch run is giving away specifics. Anyone who can read water even barely would be able to tell it probably doesn't hold steelhead. It fishes nice and I will stop there again. I would also fish it if it happens to be my take out as I am sure any one else would.
Do you want to know where if steelhead have been landed in the past 2 days? I can give you that information. I can tell you what flies they were caught with. I can tell you what sink tip was used. I can tell you where in the run they were caught. The top, the bottom, etc. Any one who is in the network of steelheaders on the Skagit/Sauk could also give you that info. There are not that many secrets out there. I don't post when and where fish are caught or what line was used or what fly or what cast was used, what run or where in the run. Nope, I don't do that. I rarely will post up the fact I have caught any fish at all. Nor do I post if any one else has caught fish.
My opinion of a very well known run just doesn't sound like much to worry about to me.

07/07/2004 - A new study by the OECD's Development Assistance Committee (DAC ) and the Joint United Nations Programme on HIV/AIDS (UNAIDS) demonstrates a clear trend toward rising aid donations to fight HIV/AIDS. The latest definitive figures, combining the aid efforts of major bilateral and multilateral donors, show an allocation of US$2.2 billion in 2002 to control and combat the pandemic in the developing world.
Bilateral aid rose steadily, from US$ 822 million in 2000, to US$1.1 billion in 2001, and to US$1.35 billion in 2002 – a 64% increase over 3 years. Multilateral aid rose from US$314 million in 2000 to USD 460 million in 2002, and total contributions to the Global Fund to fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria reached US$917 million by the end of 2002, 60% of which will target HIV/AIDS.
The report, Analysis of aid in support of HIV/AIDS control, 2000-2002, presents the first comprehensive overview of aid allocations to AIDS activities by donor and recipient countries. It is being released in advance of the XV International AIDS conference, to be held in Bangkok 11-16 July 2004.
These donations are funding prevention, testing, treatment and care services, as well as social and legal assistance for people affected by the AIDS pandemic. There is a growing trend to combine testing, counseling and treatment activities, and to mainstream them into broader aid to fields such as education, rural development, agriculture, and transportation. Aid is also fostering international collaboration between health specialists in donor and recipient countries, enabling them to share information and experience which will ultimately provide better quality of care for all AIDS sufferers.
Between 2000 and 2002, donors worked with 140 recipient countries to fight AIDS, concentrating the majority of their aid efforts on 25 countries - 10 of them in Sub-Saharan Africa. In total, 75% of all aid related to combating AIDS was allocated to Africa. Nigeria was the largest overall recipient, at US$91 million per year, followed by Kenya at US$61 million, Uganda at US$53 million, and Zambia at US$43 million per year.
The U.S. was the largest bilateral donor with contributions averaging $793 million per year in 2000-02, followed by the U.K. at $337 million, Japan at $161 million, and the Netherlands at $135 million. The International Development Association of the World Bank was the largest multilateral donor ($237 million from core funds), followed by UNAIDS ($88 million), the EC ($53 million) and UNICEF ($44 million).

The Bar's successful voter information program for November's merit retention judicial contests should be the foundation for a continuing education effort about the courts and their functions, according to Bar President Gwynne Young.
Reporting to the Board of Governors at its recent Amelia Island meeting, Young recounted the Bar's efforts to tell voters about merit retention.
"If we learned anything in this, it is that we cannot stop our education effort," she said. "Those who went out [as part of the education program] saw how little many people, even lawyers, know about the third branch and the role of the judiciary and lawyers in society."
Young noted the education effort was discussed at the Bar's strategic planning retreat in November, and recommendations from that retreat would be coming to the board at future meetings.
This year's retention races featured active opposition for three justices up for merit retention — the first time any justice had drawn high-profile opposition in 20 years. The election also saw the Executive Committee of the Republican Party of Florida vote to oppose all three justices — the first time in the merit selection and retention era a political party became involved in a nonpartisan judicial race.
The high-profile Supreme Court contests also had implications for the 15 district court of appeal judges on the retention ballot. Although none was directly challenged, previous opposition in Supreme Court races had translated into lower retention votes in some DCA races, particularly in the northern part of the state.
But this year, "On November 6, we had the elections and all the judges and justices who were up for merit retention were retained and they were retained basically with margins that judges would receive when there was no opposition," Young said. "I think that is a true compliment to everyone on this board and to our merit retention education program."
She reiterated that the Bar campaign was not to support any particular judge or justice but to provide neutral information about merit retention, the function of judges and the courts, and how to find information about the judges and justices up for retention. The Bar also sought to dispute misleading claims made about the courts and various court decisions and actions.
"The purpose of this merit retention education program was to educate the public and hopefully show them where they could find information about the judges and justices and feel comfortable in voting," Young said.
The success could be seen, she said, in comparing 2008 and 2012 voting returns. In 2008, 75 percent of the voters who cast ballots in the presidential election also voted in the Supreme Court merit retention races on the ballot that year. In 2012, the figure went up to 85 percent.
"I really have to believe our merit retention education program helped get that increase in voters," Young said.
As part of the campaign, the Bar arranged for lawyers to speak to civic groups around the state, distributed 360,000 voter guides, and used social media to inform voters. President-elect Gene Pettis noted that the Bar president typically visits all the state's major newspaper editorial boards over his or her presidential year, but Young compressed all those visits into her first four months to discuss with those boards the importance of the merit selection and retention system and on keeping politics out of the court system.
"I don't think the troops go in any direction the generals don't lead them," he said, and he led the board in a round of applause for Young. "Gwynne did in the first four or five months of her tenure what most presidents do in the entire year."
Young praised the Bar's Public Information and Bar Services office, led by Francine Walker, and a steering committee, chaired by board member Sandy Diamond, that met first weekly, and then biweekly, to oversee the program.
The board was thanked by Fourth Circuit Judge Brian Davis, who attended the meeting to welcome the board to Nassau County. He noted besides the merit retention education program, the Bar had also opposed Amendment 5 on the November ballot, which would have changed the state constitution to allow Senate confirmation of Supreme Court appointees and make it easier for the Legislature to revoke a court procedural rule.
"Jacksonville's namesake, Andrew Jackson, said once that the rights guaranteed the people in the Constitution mean nothing; they are a mere bubble, absent the virtuous and independent judiciary," Davis said. "Only because of your work in this last election cycle was that independence protected and the rights of the people to the rule of law and an independent judiciary maintained."

Topic: CYber Knife
Hello to all. Teddy had his first CK yesterday and just wanted to let you know that so far no tiredness or nausea. We shall see how it progresses. I am sure after a couple more treatments we will see something! The first one took 3 hours (no magazines in the doctors office) today they said about 2 hours. Teddy said the machine is fascinating and they may let me come in for a few minutes today. He took a CD of Il Divo and played it 4 times! Today, more CD's.
OPRAH: I am going to do a follow-up and will try to call the show in January.
Any suggestion I offer is intended as friendly advice based solely on my own experience. Please consult your doctor for professional guidance.

• One man's terrorist is another man's loser. A NY Times memo instructs the newsroom not to refer to Bin Laden as Mr.
At Jill and Bill's request, we dropped the honorific for Bin Laden.
Without a "Mr." in front of his name, it was decided that we should capitalize the "B" in Bin Laden on second references.
A somewhat fitting response to a decade-old Reuters memo explaining why the wire service would specifically not use the word "terror" to describe 9/11:
We all know that one man's terrorist is another man's freedom fighter and that Reuters upholds the principle that we do not use the word terrorist.
Even The Independent and The Guardian did away with the Reuters "principle" and called terror by its name — at least today, anyway.
• Alan Dershowitz points out that the strike on Osama Bin Laden vindicates Israeli targeted assassinations:
Yet none of these nations, groups or individuals have criticized the targeted killing of Osama Bin Laden by the US. The reason is obvious. All the condemnations against targeted killing was directed at one country. Guess which one? Israel, of course . . .
But now that it has been used against an enemy of Britain, France, Italy and other European nations, the tune has changed. Suddenly targeted killing is not only legal and moral, it is praiseworthy (except, of course, to Hamas, which immediately condemned the US killing of Bin Laden).
• As Hamas, Jerusalem Arabs and the Muslim Brotherhood mourn Bin Laden's death, Jackson Diehl asks:
Should the mourner of bin Laden be recognized as a worthy partner for peace with Israel, or a potential leader of a new Arab state?
It's worth adding that a recent poll finds the Palestinian show the highest level of public support for Osama Bin Laden.
• The Columbia Journalism Review looks at how news sites handled coverage of Bin Laden's death in the earliest period. It's a case study of how to keep readers interested in a big story when there's very little info.
If you want a sense of how fast the news cycle is, all the CJR screenshots are from a 10-minute period:
That was after the news of bin Laden's death had been confirmed, but before any details about the raid had come out and before President Obama addressed the nation.
There's a lot riding on attracting (and keeping) readers despite the dearth of detail. Bin Laden news caused a bigger web traffic spike than the royal wedding.
The NY Times's Sunday evening page views were 86 percent higher than average, while CNN reported a 217 percent increase for the same time period (the overloaded CNN mobile site crashed).
• Politico: The commandos who killed Bin Laden snagged his electronic equipment too. Intelligence officials are looking forward to seeing what's on the terror king's hard drive. Omri Ceren thinks he knows what they'll find . . .

I have recently created an example invoicing application in ASP.NET MVC3 in order to have a starting code base for my daily work as ASP.NET MVC3 trainer and developer.
You can make the most of this application by following the development history log and learning about every aspect of ASP.MVC3 covered here (authentication, partial rendering, code first, EF, templates, scaffolding, ajax partial rendering, t4 templates, etc)
As companies and students I trained did, hope you guys that are stepping now into ASP.NET MVC find it useful.
Feel free to fork this application in github, send feedback, or contribute to the code base by sending a pull request.
This project was started a few days ago (30th Sept 2011), so more features will be adding soon.
Development has been done step by step.
Every release has been marked with a TAG, so you can explore the source code from the first line of code created, seeing what has been added to each release (by checking the history file) and comparing it with the source code related to that TAG, available in GitHub.
This way you would be able to follow the whole development process.
Better check the github page for this project

These glands secrete a viscous white poison that gets smeared in the mouth of any would-be predator, inflaming the mouth and throat and causing nausea, irregular heart beat, and, in extreme cases, death. Toads pose a danger to pets, which may pounce on and bite them. Humans should take care to wash their hands after handling a toad, and to avoid touching the mouth or eyes until having done so.
Voice Loud, harsh mating call.
Breeding April-September. After rainfall. Eggs attached to vegetation on bottom of pools.
Habitat Grassland near water.
Range Southern Alberta, throughout the western United States, and into northern Mexico.

Great value in a tire
By GatorTom
from Asheville, NC
This is my third review of the Prima 2 plus tire posted over the last several years but my experience remains the same--Excellent. I have used them exclusively for multiple years and have never had a bad experience. I currently have a size 700 X 23 on the rear of my bike with just over 4000 miles on it. No blemishes yet but I usually get about 4500 miles on a rear 2 plus so ordered again. My front 2 plus 700 X 25 now has over 16,000 miles on it and still no blemishes, cracks, or other issues. There are lighter tires out there but nothing I could find to match the quality and durability of these tires for anything near the price. (I mostly ride the Blue Ridge Parkway which has good quality smooth pavement and my weight ranges between 170 and 180 so somewhat lighter tire stress than in many other areas, or for other riders, however, I still think the consistent durability of well over 4000 miles per tire is excellent. The protective Kevlar belt has also made punctures a non-issue. I can't believe there is a better tire value anywhere for the avid recreational cyclist.

Very basic weak tire
By Louis the III
from Portsmouth, VA
Dont know where the other reviews are coming from. I can tell you the tires is thin, looks flimsy, nowhere close in quality and construction as a Vittoria Zaffiro entry level tire or a Hutchinson of similar spec and price.I got 4 tires, sent them back using the 7.00 return shipping label. Tires are good if you are going to sell your bike or for goofing around town just a few miles. No, I do not recommend.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Excellent Tires
By ferdi928
from Modesto, Ca
I bought the Prima 2 Plus only because Michelin did not have my tire size at Nashbar and Performance Bike. Compared ratings on the Prima 2 Plus vs. Forte LCR. Chose the Prima due to higher rating. I now have about just over 100 miles on these Prima's and it is a great value for the buck. Rolling resistance is minimal, cornering is great (thus far, tested on dry weather). I am amazed with the performance it offers. These will be my daily to use.

Great training tire
By Wheel chaser
from West Palm Beach, Florida
About Me Competitive Cyclist
Normally when you need a training tire that you are going to put many miles of abuse and wear you don't want to spend much, that made me experiment with different tire brands until I came across the Nashbar Prima 2 which I found to be best suitable tires in my case after I have been using these tires for the past 5 years on my training bicycle. So I have experienced the use of these for a long time now: I only recall of a flat going over broken glass when the tire was pretty worn out, being that the case I put them on my racing bike for the past 6 months, yes they are heavy for racing but there's nothing like the peace of mind when it comes to getting flats, I race them at 125 lbs of air pressure in back and 120 lbs front which is much higher of the recommended tire pressure to reduce rolling resistance and by doing so I haven't felt much of a difference at the races from the "brand tires". I get around 1500+/- miles on them considering that I am not your common cyclist: sprinter, tall and heavy: 225 lbs. I have felt bad sometimes in the past to see some of the guys that have been training hard for a race doing great at a race and getting a flat pretty close to the end of the race. If you are not that picky about weight and want a reliable easy to mount tire these are for you. I gave these a "4 stars" because of the weight, but if you keep the recommended air pressure constantly and you weight less than me, you should be able to get many more miles out of the tires like some of my friends do.I highly recommend these if you are on a budget and don't want flats and ease to mount tires.

NASCAR came out yesterday and said the camping world truck series is going to race on dirt at the infamous Eldora Speedway. I grew up at the dirt tracks here in OH and my best friend races dirt late models so I love everything about the dirt tracks. How cool is it that for one race they are going to go back to the roots of nascar and race on dirt. I have been and taken the car to Eldora many times and it is one hell of a track.
NASCAR also said a few weeks ago that the Nationwide series is going to race at midohio sports car course which is a nice road course here in ohio. I have been to midohio a lot for motorcycle racing but it will be a whole new animal with 43 Nationwide cars on it.
It is going to be a big summer for Ohio and myself as I will more than likely got to both events as well as the Cup race at kentucky speedway. Both Kentucky and Eldora are about an hour from my house and Mid ohio is about 2.5 hour drive.
Just curious if there are any other race fans here and see how they feel about all this.

This week has been crazy.
I might have gotten some of my SW runs mixed up with other stores.
Now that I think of it, it was a Target in Crystal Lake that I bought the Utopian Warrior and the Young jedi(cant remember the name but he was the young Jedi that was killed before Bail Organa escaped on his land speeder like ship.)Zett Zukka me thinks.
If you are still looking for these I can see if I can find them for you. But if you work at WalMart, you will probably see them soon.
Let me know.

Read Chapter One
Annie's party had been going smoothly. Too smoothly, apparently.Because there in the doorway stood her long-lost Aunt Minnie, suitcases in hand. This was not the relative Annie would have chosen to introduce to her friends in the ward, for not only was Minnie a bit loud in voice and dress, but also her choice of comments left something to be desired - like a loud bleeping sound.
Annie might have invited Minnie to stay, but she never got the chance. Minnie had changed into red satin jammies, all set for bed, before Annie could make up her mind.
And yet, annoying as Aunt Minnie could be, it was just possible that she was, quite literally, a Godsend. As the first of her family to join the Church, Annie had been meaning to do temple work for years, but never had the first idea where to start. Now there, ensconced in the spare bedroom, was a walking - and definitely talking - family history.
But maybe there were some stories Annie wasn't ready to hear.

The Arduino is writing to the LCD on the 4 data-lines (counting up seconds), I have verified this on the oscilloscope in my laboratory,
This is my setup.Arduino Leonardo. Arduino IDE 1.0.3. A MIDAS LCD (8x2). What is wrong?Thank you for your time.
Kingoslo, I think you're sending too many commands to the LCD each second. You might try a delay(200) in your loop, and count up using a variable instead of trying to display milliseconds.

Actually, Floresta, this is a funny coincidence because I had never seen the Setcursor sketch example before. The way that it is written in the original includes a delay(200). My recommendation, although i didn't know it at the time, put it back the way it was originally written. Kingoslo, I'm glad I could help.

The Supreme Court should skip the semantics of Obama's mandatory health care reform, argues Noah Feldman. Economically, health insurance is a classic example of market failure, he writes.
When the sun hits the brilliant white marble of the Supreme Court building on a clear spring day, it is so bright you can't look at it. Thus illuminated, the court becomes the sun: the epicenter of the Washington world.
It is exceedingly rare for the Supreme Court actually to be at the center of events in government. But starting on Monday, for a few days, it will be.
The signature accomplishment of Barack Obama's administration is on the line. To strike down the Affordable Care Act, the court would have to announce that mandatory insurance coverage is, quite literally, beyond the power of the government.
In economic terms, that would mean saying that universal health care in the U.S. can't be achieved except through a single-payer system administered entirely by the government, which in political terms seems essentially impossible. If the mandatory coverage provision goes, so does the whole program.
Obama's legal team has embraced this all-or-nothing approach, and for good reason. They have told the court that mandatory coverage is not "severable" from the rest of the law. If the court holds that the government cannot require you to be covered or pay a fine, the entire law will cease to operate.

There are certainly many breeders on here with much more experience and Knowledge than me but I do have "Growth Weight Records" information on a litter we have at the present time. This information may help you with a general comparison. Just for info.....Our litter has more conformation than field lines and I'm not sure that it makes much difference.
You can find this info on our "Puppies Page" of our web site: www.ElliottLabradors.com
I also have a detailed daily "Growth Weight Chart" on this litter that I could e-mail you if you'd like.
As many here will suggest and you may have already done this, I'd make sure to have an open communication with your vet during this whelping time that doesn't mind questions like this.

It is not unusual at all, especially with a small litter, to have some real piggies. Or to have a fairly large variance in size between pups. The chunky ones sometimes take longer to do things, like get up and walk. The thing to watch is a really heavy one not moving enough and becoming a "swimmer", so do a search on that as far as what to do about it, there are multiple threads on here about it. At two weeks, their eyes should be open and they are maybe trying to get up and stagger around a bit, but I've had 12 day olds be pretty precocious and some that don't feel too motivated til closer to 3 weeks. I don't get hung up on weight, per se, but how the pups are acting and developing. If mom is producing too much milk, for a litter of 4, you can back her feeding down a bit as well, as long as she doesn't get too thin herself.

JUNK mailings, but they are not alone in their ardor to collect on what they deem pertinent issues. I agree with Steve that there should be a box for "Please only solicit me once per year" but there isn't. It's got to cost a bundle. BTW, when Tonya was their "whatever" I just flat quit NRA, she had to be the most aggressive ever. But I'm back. I have gone to the only once a year, in January to allow me to check back, donations.
I send a check (apparently it's large enough for them to hope there is more available ) to one of the well known relief organizations back where I grew up, That does not stop the about 6 times per year sob stories about how these people just can't make it. If I'm not mistaken, that's why churches are tax exempt, so they can help those truly needy in their time of need. Am I wrong on that count?
When DU bought into the Global Warming crap I was outa there. Also don't contribute to any that overpay their Executive Director.
I will defend the building in this manner. I've watched a lot of Mom & Pop businesses disappear that were providing a quality service, only to be replaced by a chain with a new building, higher prices & lower quality personnel. The 2nd business succeeds, so you have to ask yourself "Is a new & fancy building part of that success"? In DC it's about "Style over Substance" every time.

Everyone's friend is No One's friend
Someday your life will flash before your eyes. It's your responsibility to make sure it's worth watching!
It sure seems like over the last few months I haven't been getting as many mailings from the NRA as I have in past years. It does get tiring but I'll continue to support them because of all the good work they do and especially today with the totalitarian party in charge.
Dear Leader will erase the 2nd Amendment from the Constitution when he thinks he can get away with it. He despises bitter clingers and the guns we own.

Its about the NRA. And, I was a member for a good long while. But , when they started straying from gun ownership, the 2nd amendment, and gun safety/hunter ed. and got into other political realms, I left.
They are a powerful advocacy group, no doubt. If they would abandon their RWE positions and aggressive junk mail solicitations, I might support them again.
I find it very weird to be in agreement with some here.

Acquired platelet function defects are diseases or conditions that cause the blood elements needed for blood clotting (platelets) to not work properly. The term "acquired" means these diseases or conditions are not present at birth.
Acquired qualitative platelet disorders; Acquired disorders of platelet function
With platelet disorders, there may be too many or too few platelets, or platelets that do not function well. Some conditions cause changes in both the number and function of platelets. Any platelet disorder affects blood clotting.
These disorders can be present at birth (congenital), or they may develop later because of another disease or condition, or without a known cause. In many cases, the platelet count may be normal or even high, but there will be evidence of a bleeding disorder.
Disorders that can cause problems in platelet function include:
Other causes include:
Treatment is aimed at the cause of the problem.
Treating the cause of the problem usually corrects the defect.
Call your health care provider:
Using medications carefully can reduce the risk of drug-related acquired platelet function defects. Treating other disorders may also reduce the risk. Some cases are not preventable.

Formative research is the basis for developing effective strategies, including communication channels, for influencing behavior change. It helps researchers identify and understand the characteristics - interests, behaviors and needs - of target populations that influence their decisions and actions. Formative research is integral in developing programs as well as improving existing and ongoing programs. If you have any trouble downloading these documents, please e-mail us at for a hard copy.
The Network planed a campaign to promote physical activity among California families with low incomes. The 2001 report, Strategies for Action, presented the results of the Cancer Prevention and Nutrition Section's Physical Activity and Nutrition Integration Committee planning meeting to identify key strategies for such a program. The formative research included a literature review, review of marketing trends, key informant interviews with community based organizations and potential funders and partners and environmental scans including "walkability" of a community, access to recreational facilities, programs for women and community gardens.
In 1998, only 54% of eligible Californians took part in the federal Food Stamp Program. In August 2001, ten focus groups were held in San Diego, Los Angeles, and Fresno to examine the problem of underutilization of this food assistance opportunity. Group members, who took part in a structured discussion, included both low-income people who had never participated in the Food Stamp Program, as well as those who had done so in the past but were not currently taking part in the program.
During August and September 2001, structured interviews were conducted with 29 experts who work directly with the Food Stamp Program or with populations eligible to participate in the program. The purpose of the interviews was to identify systemic barriers to participation as well as strategies that are working to increase participation.
The Network conducted focus groups in Los Angeles, Oakland and San Diego during September and October, 1999. The results of these focus groups help guide the development of campaign materials and channels.
In 1997, focus groups were conducted with low-income White, African-American and Latina women with school-aged children who do and do not use food stamps.
The Food Stamp Office Resource Kit (FSORK) provides nutrition education in waiting areas of food stamp offices using audio visual and print materials to help low-income Californians learn how to purchase and pre low-cost, nutritious meals and snacks. To evaluate the utility of the intervention materials and learn more about the food stamp office as a learning environment for future implementation of nutrition education, the Research and Evaluation Unit in the Cancer Prevention and Nutrition Section conducted an exit survey and observation study from January through April 2007.
A theoretically based African American Campaign can increase positive attitudes and beliefs towards eating fruits and vegetables, as well as consumption itself. The Campaign formative research includes festival surveys of African Americans statewide; key informant interviews of program coordinators, pastors, and program volunteers; and behavioral surveys of congregation members. The findings summarize fruit and vegetable intake/beliefs, fruit and vegetable stages of change, food shopping, physical activity behavior/beliefs, organizational change and infrastructure, as well as preferences in nutrition education materials, collateral items, festival activities, and community and mass media outlets. Two research briefs were produced.
The Network for a Healthy California--African American Campaign conducted festival surveys of African Americans statewide to identify the shopping habits and out-of-home eating practices related to fruit and vegetable consumption. Two research briefs were created to summarize the significant findings.

An evaluation report is in progress and two research briefs were produced.
MEDIA, FESTIVAL, FARMERS'/FLEA MARKET, AND GROCERY STORE INTERVENTIONS Lead To Improved Fruit And Vegetable Consumption For California Latinos
The Network for a Healthy California—Latino Campaign evaluated the cumulative effect of its media and community-based social marketing interventions on fruit and vegetable intake and factors that affect consumption of Latino adults, aged 18 to 65 years. The following research reports were prepared by Desiree R. Backman, Dr. P.H., R.D., Principal Investigator, Cancer Prevention and Nutrition Section, California Department of Public Health, Public Health Institute and Gian C. Gonzaga, Ph. D., Freeman, Sullivan & Co.
The Network for a Healthy California—Children's Power Play! Campaign model was developed through careful formative research and proven effective through a large-scale evaluation study. The Children's Power Play! Campaign conducts process evaluation on an ongoing basis and uses data from the biennial California Children's Health Eating and Exercise Practices Survey to continue to assess its effectiveness.
Power Play! Evaluation Study
The Children's Power Play! Campaign conducted extensive formative research during its development phase in 1993, and continues to conduct formative research as needed to ensure continued appeal and relevance to the target audience. In 2007, the Children's Power Play! Campaign conducted focus groups with 9-to-11 year old children and middle school youth to test the new california Champions for Change brand, the new national Fruits & Veggies—More Matters® brand, Harvest of the Month materials, and social marketing concepts for middle schoolers Executive Summary (PDF). In 2002 the Children's Power Play! Campaign conducted focus groups with 9- to 11-year-old boys and girls (PDF), primarily to assess motivators and barriers to increased fruit and vegetable consumption. In 2003, the Children's Power Play!Campaign also conducted dyad interviews with 6- to 8-year-old children (PDF) to test key messages and graphics.
Several types of formative research were conducted to inform the Worksite Program about opportunities for and challenges to using worksites as a channel for promoting fruits, vegetables, and physical activity. From August through October 2002, the program conducted telephone interviews with a sample of 40 business leaders who were selected at random from a comprehensive database of public and private companies in California. To provide a complete picture of what needs to be done in California worksites to improve fruit and vegetable consumption and physical activity, a total of 12 focus groups were conducted in Oakland and Los Angeles with low- and middle-income working women. Findings indicating employers can help reduce employee obesity and related costs are described in a report issued by the California Department of Health Services. The report was released during a press conference on January 21, 2004.

I think that they're really cute. I also discovered early on that as much as my kids want to play with my big Star Wars toys, their little hands aren't really capable of handling the size and weight. The Micromachines, on the other hand, were a great alternative and also because of their size, "bigger" battles could take place in a smaller space.
These new little things are even better, as they include funny cartoonish characters at a perfect size for little kids. Why this wasn't done before is beyond me. I'll buy all of them!
I think these will only be bought by the hardcore adult collectors (or even scalpers for that matter!) for their own collections or for their kids. I seriously doubt that the casual buyer will get these unless they are ultra cheap (on clearance) and need to buy something quick for a child's birthday party. It doesn't seem that the market for SW stuff is children anymore since you only ever see adults looking at the stuff in the stores.

what's so funny 'bout peace love and understanding
I passed on the Palm Talkers, I'll pass on these. I spend too much money on the 3 3/4" line to try and collect a completely separate and incompatible line. Which is why I also stopped buying the 12" scale toys.
Maybe, if they put out an item that I like enough (TIE Fighter with cutesy pilot) then I wil buy that one item, but collect the line? No way.

I'd get them for a kid but not for myself.
They look like they're trying to go to the bathroom or something.
Oh these are really dinky. Who cares if they're supposed to be for kids, so are the action figures. I'm buying them if i can find them that is. They remind me of the Bucky O'hare figures that came out in about '92. I have all of those and these will sit alongside quite nicely. I didn't like the palmtalkers cuz they're too deformed but these have some real character to them. I actually really like the Wicket one. And the Naboo fighter is great. guess this is one of those don't like it don't buy it deals eh?
Please Vote - Do you plan to pay for these:
- with cash
- with a check
- with a debit card
- with a credit card
- partially with cash and partially with a debit card (maybe because your bank account is nearly empty)
- partially with cash and partially with a credit card (maybe because you've nearly reached your credit limit)
- with bills
- with coins
- with foodstamps
- with Canadian money
- with Canadian bills
- with Canadian pennies
- with chickens
- with shiny beads
- with a combination of chickens and shiny beads (maybe because you don't have enough shiny beads but don't want to give away all your chickens)
- by asking your mom to buy them for you
- by asking your girlfriend to buy them for you
- by asking your boyfriend to buy them for you
- by asking complete strangers to buy them for you
- by throwing a tantrum until your mom buys them for you
- by stealing them
- by asking for them as Christmas or Hanukah presents
- by asking for them as birthday or Easter presents
- by asking for them for Christmas AND birthday presents (as your birthday would be ON Christmas)
- by asking for them for birthday AND Easter presents (as your birthday would be ON Easter)
- by asking for them for Christmas AND Easter presents (as time would have become nonlinear and these 2 events somehow fall on the same date)

LOL, Tricks.
Here's the inside story on SirStevesGuide, guys:
I was asked to come up with poll topics. I have a lot of ideas, and there's a whole thread in this Forum for you to add your suggestions, but Steve took a particular interest in the Playskool Adventures Toys (probably because he plans to buy all of them so Tricks can stop crying for the Force's Sake) - and then there's already another website polling on this issue. So I offer a different take, to find out:
who they'll be bought for
what products are appealing - for instance to adults who like this spin on the Classic Trilogy (which we are seeing in the responses now)
and whether adult collectors (the majority of interenet respondents) are expecting this to turn into another whole collector series with 300 characters or something - and if the folks who think they're going to collect it, will stick it out for that long of series.
Additionally, it answers, which is the single favorite one - or why else are people not buying most of this stuff only planning on getting the TaunTaun / Wampa set?
But no: Jedi Tricks and Steve (privately) had to tease me about having so many poll choices. It is funny, but I'm not (yet) crazy.
Anyway, always somebody complaining...remember how many edits the last poll took? It invalidates the results if you change anything. But I have poll choices with 3 responses possible only. But on this particular topic you can go to another website and see a poll done that way.
So sue me for being creative.
Guys: is this more interesting?
And they are doomed to fail alsoOriginally posted by good shot jansen

Notable Oregonians: Mel Blanc - Voice Actor and Comedian
Melvin Jerome Blank was born to Jewish parents in San Francisco, California on May 30, 1908. He grew up in Portland, Oregon and attended Lincoln High School. As a youth, Blanc began developing his unique vocal style, entertaining his classmates and teachers with the piercing laugh that would later develop into Woody Woodpecker's signature call. He changed his surname to Blanc at the age of 16, apparently after a teacher told him that, like his last name, he would amount to nothing. Still in his teens, Blanc started his career as a voice actor on Portland's KGW radio station in 1927 and produced and hosted his own program on KEX beginning in 1933.
Blanc moved to bigger opportunities in Southern California in 1935, eventually working on CBS and NBC radio programs, including regular appearances on the popular Jack Benny Program in the late 1930s and later on Benny's television show. His deadpan delivery regularly left Benny fighting to keep a straight face. The two were close friends in real life. Blanc's popularity led to his own radio show in 1946 and 1947 that featured him as a jinxed owner of a fix-it shop. His show's regular actors included future television stars Jim Backus and Bea Benaderet.
Blanc's most memorable work was providing voices and vocal effects for the classic Warner Brothers cartoons beginning in 1936 with his work for Leon Schlesinger Productions. Soon, America was familiar with the vivid, outrageous, and unique personalities of Bugs Bunny, Porky Pig, Daffy Duck, Tweety Bird, Sylvester the Cat, Yosemite Sam, Pepé Le Pew, Foghorn Leghorn, Henery Hawk, and countless other characters. The high jinks and wisecracks perpetrated by his characters made the competition's Disney characters such as Mickey Mouse seem tame in comparison. When his exclusive contract with Warner Brothers expired in the early 1960s, Blanc extended his art to the Hanna-Barbera cartoons where he was a regular as Barney Rubble in The Flintstones and Mr. Spacely in The Jetsons.
Charming audiences of all ages with his humor and extraordinary range of characterizations, Blanc spanned generations of fans. He performed the voices of Daffy Duck and Porky Pig for over 52 years and Bugs Bunny for nearly 49 years. He was the original voice of nearly all of the his animated characters and almost certainly performed voices in more cartoons that anybody in history.
Mel Blanc died on July 10, 1989 in Los Angeles, California. His gravestone reads "that's all folks." Yet, for future generations of Warner Brother's cartoon fans, his creative genius will live on in the characters he brought to life.

On October 29th, 2011 the Governor of Massachusetts declared a state of emergency due to the power outages caused by the early winter storm. The heavy wet snow and wind conditions caused most of the Commonwealth areas power outages.
Businesses have had to close down, roads were closed, and emergency shelters were set up. (MEMA) Massachusetts Emergency Management Agency is the state agency that handles and coordinates the local, state and federal help as well as the volunteer resources when disasters strike the Commonwealth of Massachusetts.
This Nor' Easter storm has halted many on the east coast causing several top schools to close across the state including but not limited to Franklin, Worcester, Middlesex, Norfolk counties. Nearly 1 million people were without power. Halloween trick or treating has been forced to be postponed; traveling is at a stand still in many areas as well. Many people on the east coast are still regrouping from Irene, the storm that hit just a few months ago.
While help is being sent in from other states and areas, the outlook is grey when you're inside the disaster areas. It will be better as the week progresses. For some who are within the Winchester real estate market, moving right now will be quite challenging. Shopping indoors is still available if you have access to the internet and you can find many desired necessities such as Winchester homes, local classifieds and much more with the real estate software ViewMyListing.com powered by ProGoldi2.com.

I have not ever had an issue with the "noser"on any our driven shoots dropping and picking another up.If so here "nick" here has worked for me.
We do several hundred birds here in the fall and winter on driven type shoots so our dogs (and clients) get lots of exposure.
Hope to have some pics up of an all chessy shoot we are having in march.
If she drops bumper you sent her for, take bumper she switched on, replace with bumper she dropped. Heel her back to line and repeat, toss bumper, send dog, dog picks up thrown bumper, 3/4's way back throw bumper again maybe off about 10 or 15 feet towards the dog. Same thing if try to go for the tossed bumper, command no here fetch , good dog if she delivers the original tossed bumper. Switch proofs the dog might help some on your pile work. Most dogs catch on to this drill after a few times. You could run her on a rope, if she is good with rope, you don't step on it as you send and doesn't get caught on something. Most of this stuff ,FF, pile work, etc, isn't complicated as many make it. Keep it simple and use conventional wisdom and when digging hole, quit digging and seek advice, you are seeking advice! Great start.
Of course much depends on what FF program you are following, but, if it is FF with e collar work down the road most are about the same. A bright dog helps.

de Buyer Double-Slot Knife Sharpener
This two-slot sharpener replaces the traditional sharpening/honing combination with one innovative, easy-to-use tool. Developed by de Buyer of France to be the most advanced manual sharpener available today, it offers three stages of sharpening. Diamond-coated cams precisely control blade angles for highly accurate results—and a longer-lasting edge.
- Provides three stages of sharpening, from daily honing to restoring old knives.
- Slot 1: coarse grit diamond-coated cams for resharpening dull knives.
- Slot 2: two-stage set of diamond cams, one for fine sharpening to a 15- to 20-degree angle, and a honing section for daily maintenance.
- Patent-pending diamond-coated solid-steel cams control blade angles for perfectly shaped and fine, slightly convex edge bevels every time.
- Angle control and swiping motion produces professional results and reduces human error.
- Replaces the traditional stone-and-steel sharpening/honing combination with more accurate, faster results.
- More accurate bevels means less "rounding" of the edge, and therefore less resharpening and longer blade life.

So, I'd use those same switches as my cut-offs for the motor as well?
The below switch may be all that is needed.http://www.radioshack.com/product/index.jsp?productId=2062530
Right. See http://www.robotroom.com/DPDT-Bidirectional-Motor-Switch.html for how to put that together with the limit switches (scroll down to the last schematic). You would have your LEDs light up by connecting them to the normally open side of the limit switches.

Mike Zambidis Picks Up A Win In Cyprus
- Written by Rian Scalia
Today in Cyprus, Mike Zambidis made his returned to the ring for the first time since getting stopped by John Wayne Parr in May.
Zambidis took on Russian fighter Danila Utenkov and won a three round decision. There's not much detail surrounding the fight yet and it was quite a surprise to see that Zambidis was fighting today. There was absolutely nothing about this fight on the internet before today. On Zambidis' Facebook page, there is a post that says Danila Utenkov got his arm broken in the fight.
In my opinion, it was a good move for Zambidis to a fight in, as he will be facing Batu Khasikov in Russia on November 5th. Khasikov beat Albert Kraus in April and should be a tough test for Zambidis. A win in that fight for Zambidis would get him rolling again. He was on somewhat of a tear earlier in the year up until the loss to John Wayne Parr. A win for Khasikov would really get his name out there and open up more opportunities.

Most veggie burgers must have self-esteem issues, since they're always pretending to be something they're not. But these bulgur burgers don't try to hide their meatless nature and instead celebrate their grain-centric origins with wonderful texture and a hint of Middle Eastern spice.
Leave a Review
Excellent flavor. I used mint instead of cilantro because it's what I had on hand, and it tasted very much like falafel. I'm not a mayo fan, so I skipped the lime mayo. Next time I might try serving it w/ tahini sauce. Because I like veggie burgers on the thin side (so they're not too mushy in the middle), I ended up with six burgers vs the four in the recipe.
I Used barley instead of the Bulgur, it was so delicious,firmer than any bean burger I ever made. The Lime mayo really complemented it.
i enjoy the way in which this recipe looks i eaten it before with my children most of us enjoyed this we could have a family group gathering again and cook this recipe again soon this really is one tasty recipe you should test it i guarantee you whatever you should this its very tasty
This was delicious. For me it was too spicy so I will cut it back next time. I served it without the bun and added avocado and caramelized onions. When you reheat in microwave it gets mushy, so I would recommend reheating in a pan with a bit of oil or maybe in the oven under the broiler for a minute and then flip.
This was by far the best veggie burger I've had! I sauteed all of the onion and garlic together (as I don't particularly like the taste of them raw) and it was absolutely delicious!
Made this for dinner tonight - very tasty. I didn't have the full amount of bulgur so I added quinoa to make up the difference and it turned out great! Substituted mint for the cilantro since that was in the fridge and used kidney beans. I made the mixture earlier in the day, but formed smaller patties and kept it refrigerated until dinner time. They held their shape without any problem. I used a nonstick skillet to pan fry and brushed oil on the patties as directed. Will definitely make these again.
I thought this was recipe was really good and very forgiving. I didn't have onion so I used a leek, didn't have cilantro so I simply omitted it (I think it would be a nice addition though). This was for a quick meal so I skipped the refrigeration and put mounds of the mixture into a nonstick skillet. At first they were globs and I was nervous they wouldn't firm up (maybe if they were cool) but once they browned on one side they were easily flipable, and after browning on the other side held their shape. Love the lime mayo! Will be making this again and again. The husband thought it was great too.
Even with all the ingredients, this was actually really easy to make. I don't have a food processor, so I just used my blender and it took a bit of creativity, but I think the best way is to first put all the ingredients EXCEPT for the bulgur/bean mix into the blender and pulse those. Then add the bulgur and mix and pulse until it is a satisfying consistency. These didn't fall apart as other reviewers lamented. I didn't touch my burgers once they were in the pan, only turning them halfway through the cooking time. Make sure your pan is super hot and your burgers and chilled thoroughly. Good Middle-Eastern taste, but this was more like falafel than a veggie burger...
Very good, my best veggie so far. a little hard to cook without falling apart, but not impossible. will try adding the egg as mentioned by other reviewer.love the mayo. did not leave out any of the ingredients, added fresh spinach and tomato onto open face burger.yumm!! thank you!
In addition to my previous comment, I added an egg and the ingredients held together really well (prevent the falling apart problem mentioned by other reviewers). I am not vegetarian but I LOVE this recipe. So much taste with the spices and lemon zest.

If they could make it where just notification center pops up this would be the best stoplight replacement
This would be awesome if I could use it on my iPad 3 as its got no jailbreak and its stuck at IOS6.
another useless Cydia tweak.
ohhh great phone
Is there a tweak that allows you to scroll all the way right to your last springboard page then swipe again to loop you full circle back to the first springboard page? I know you can just press the home button to get back to the first page from any page, but it would be nice to scroll left from the first page and see the last page of apps instead of the spotlight page. In other words scroll either direction and have it continuously loop.
