Following the lead of ticklishtompro in his post here. viewtopic.php?f=86&t=16581
I got me a trophy turkey the other day. I haven't hunted too many fall birds but this one was a goodun.
It was raining believe it or not. 3 months of drought and the day I go turkey hunting it rains! I didn't have much to go on as far as fall hunting as I didn't scout the area and really didn't know too much about where the turkeys hung out. Didn't hear nothing early when the birds might call from the roost so I just went trolling as I would in the spring. I lost yelped and used kee kees to try and get a response.
After about an hour and a half I thought I heard a turkey. I had just started to move and there were a bunch of Blue Jays (seen a flock of about 30) going off so I wasn't sure. I called again and got a kee kee run back. It was close so I just sat down in the dirt right where I was and did a kee kee. I didn't even take time to put my face mask up. The bird came right to me kee keeing with a yelp now and then all the way in. I didn't see the bird until it was about 15 yards away and I shot it at 12 yards. The whole interaction lasted about 2 minutes. Pretty exciting hunt and my heart was a thumpin'.
The hunt reminded me of a day in the spring woods when they aren't gobbling and you just strike one all of a sudden...real close...and then he comes in drumming all the way.
I have said before that the true measure of a trophy can't be determined by a tape or scale....maybe I am wrong.
That scale measure 3 1/2 lbs...now that is going to be a trophy meal...eh?

God Bless PFC Jamie Harkness. The US Army's newest PFC, but still our neighbor's little girl!
I hate texting, facebook and all the technological communication crap these days. In ten years, people won't remember how to have a face to face conversation.
I'm going kicking and screaming.
Even in my vertical (printing, direct mail & marketing) it is being crammed down our throats.
I don't see any way to make $$$ off of it, so........
I am old school, sales are made belly to belly, but the new people coming in are uncomfortable and awkward face to face.
Thankfully, I won't be around much longer and am good enough to have a few good clients I am not looking too hard for new one.
Unless of course any of you need.......never mind.

Same Here!!!!!!
And I hate the folk in the field with a phone in pocket!!!!!
YET, the youngin' tosin' birds for ya neeeeeeeds it or will die, it seems
and they play games, tunes, video you runnin' the dog!!! and that is a good thing. and it keeps um happy. I used to bring a book

There is no way for a cop to know and prove they knew a person was texting vs talking on a cell phone prior to pulling them over. That blows away cause for the stop.
More states need to just ban all cell phone use for the driver.

Krush Announces 67kg Tournament Quarterfinal Matchups
- Written by Dave Walsh
Krush kicks off 2013 on January 14th with one of the best tournaments in the promotion's history, a 67kg tournament featuring Yuta Kubo, Yuji Nashiro, Houcine Bennoui, Abdallah Ezbiri, Yuya Yamamoto, Shintaro Matsukura, Makihira Keita and Hitoshi Tsukagoshi. While the participants were announced over the course of the past few weeks, the quarterfinal matchups were just announced at a press conference earlier today. In the top half of the bracket, 2011 K-1 MAX Japan tournament winner Yuji Nashiro faces Abdallah Ezbiri while 2009 K-1 MAX World Tournament Semi-Finalist Yuya Yamamoto faces -63kg WILDRUSH League runner-up Hitoshi Tsukagoshi. In the lower half of the bracket, ISKA Light Welterweight champion Yuta Kubo takes on Houcine Bennoui while 2012 Krush 70kg Youth GP champion Shintaro Matsukura faces Makihira Keita. The biggest note from this is that Krush seemed to match the foreigners with their top two fighters in Kubo and Nashiro, producing the tournament's best two quarterfinal matchups. The winners of those fights will be favored to win their semi-final fights as well and move on to the finals, though both Matsukura and Yamamoto have the power to cause problems should they make it to the semis. Unfortunately for fans, Matsukura vs Yamamoto 3 looks a bit unlikely as the fight would have to happen in the finals and even if it were to happen, neither fighter is renowned for his gas tank. Other interesting rematch possibilities are a Kubo vs Ezbiri final and a Nashiro vs Yamamoto semifinal. Check back to LiverKick in the days leading up to the tournament for my full tournament breakdown and a ranking of each fighter's chances.
The other news Krush brought was that, once again, Andy Howson would have to be replaced due to an injury. Howson was set to face Krush 55kg champion Shota Takiya, but will be replaced by Mike Alamos. If the name looks familiar, it's because Mike is the younger brother of Lumpinee Stadium Super Lightweight champion Damien Alamos. Alamos is 18 years old and has complied a 14-0-0 (7 KO) record. The hard-hitting Takiya will be a very tough test for him.
The injury bug also bit former RISE champion Kan Itabashi, who was set to face Junpei Aotsu. He will be replaced by Naoki Ishikawa, who is fresh off of his 2nd straight draw against 60kg champ Hirotaka Urabe on the 14th. A win could easily vault Ishikawa into a 4th fight with Urabe.

Saenchai Wins at the Hoost Cup - Will He Go to K-1?
- Written by Dave Walsh
The Hoost Cup went down this weekend, featuring a few interesting fights, namely Saenchai's first "Kickboxing" fight, which has sparked all sorts of speculation as to what his future might be and if he might be headed to K-1 as his sponsor Yokkao has insinuated at on Twitter. It doesn't hurt that K-1 head Mr. Kim has been seen visiting with Stefania, the mastermind behind Yokkao Extreme, either.
The results are as follows;
Yoshihiro Sato (R3 - Dec.) Yuichiro "Jienotsu" Nagashima
Saenchai (R3 - Dec.) Yosuke Mizuochi
Souta Ichinohe (R1 - TKO) Ryuya Kusakabe
Shu Ogawa (R3 - Dec.) Hiroki
Hukashi (R3 - Dec.) Yuto Tsujide
Satoko Sasaki (R3 - Dec.) Maria Pantazi
Now, as for Saenchai and K-1, it is no secret that K-1 is looking to re-establish itself with a new set of stars, and who better than one of the most famous Thai fighters alive today in Saenchai? Saenchai's flashy style has won him tons of fans all over the world and it would make for a perfect and entertaining fit for K-1. Seeing as though Saenchai's natural weight class is around 60kg and his tendency to fight up in weight it wouldn't shock me to see him at 65kgs.
As for Saenchai's relationship with K-1 right now it is still too early to predict what will happen, but LiverKick has been able to confirm that there have been preliminary talks between the two parties, although it is not clear how far these talks have gone.

Many of you have read the last few weeks that we published posts on trends for 2012 in the field of malware and cybercrime. In this series I wrote a post based on the document that the Education and Research team of ESET Latin America put together, entitled "2012 Predictions: More mobile malware and localized attacks".
With David Harley's (and ESET North America's team) help we translated the document into English, so you can now read the whole thing and see why we believe that mobile malware, localized attacks and threats on modern platforms are the most important trends for next year.
The White Paper is already available: "Trends for 2012: Malware Goes Mobile" so just click, read, learn and enjoy.

By Tiernan Ray
Pacific Crest's Jesse Hulsing today reflects on the new breed of corporate "business intelligence" software created by the likes of Qlik Technologies (QLIK), Tibco (TIBX), and privately held Tableau Software, which he thinks is "hitting critical mass" in a $14 billion market.
As Tableau IPOs, whenever that arrives, it will not only expand the BI market, writes Hulsing, but also the 5% share of the market that the new players maintain, with about $800 million in annual revenue. Tableau had about $127 million in revenue last year, writes Hulsing, as opposed to Qlik's $389 million.
Qlik's and Tableau's share can double by 2016, he thinks. On top of that "only 17% of information workers use data dashboard or BI tools as part of their job," he writes, citing data from Gartner, IDC and Forrester. There is probably a market of 60 million people in the developed and developing worlds who could be users of such software, thinks Hulsing, versus the 13 million to 14 million who currently are addressed by the available wares.
The "old paradigm," in Hulsing's view, is that brought about by SAP AG (SAP), Oracle (ORCL), International Business Machines (IBM), and past stars such as MicroStrategy and Information Builders. New stars include not only Qlik and Tableau and Tibco's "Spotfire" product, but also Prognoz, Targit. And there are even "emerging growth opportunities" in Roambi and Yellowfin (for mobile); Platfora, Datameer, Karmasphere, Alteryx (Big Data); Domo, GoodData, Birst (software-as-a-service); Jaspersoft, Pentaho (open-source software).
Among the things helping Qlik and Tableau increase sales faster than the overall market is the sense among users that most "are unable to access the information they need in a timely fashion," writes Hulsing, citing survey data from DOMO. Obstacles with the older software include "canned reports," "lack of APIs and openness," "heavy upfront implementation time," he writes. The most prevalent method today of sharing insights is disseminating spreadsheets built in Microsoft's (MSFT) Excel, notes Hulsing.
The Qlik and Tableau tools have "lower price points, lower implementation costs" and are easy to use, he writes. As evidence of broadening appeal, Hulsing notes that Qlik has 27,000 customers as it approaches $400 million in revenue, whereas tools sold by Cognos reached only 19,000 customers at a similar revenue stage, and Business Objects had only 15,000 customers at a similar point in its growth.

I know it is against the rules but I did it anyway. I contacted the AKC and got this reply from Mr Mann.
"Mr. John,
The official interpretation of the Regulations is that blinds in "Senior" tests may not be run between (physical location) the two marks of the double on either land or water.
While it may not be in the best interest of the judges to do so (when considering whether or not they want to be invited for future judging assignments) there is no Regulation against a judge/s requiring that a blind be picked up after one of the two marks has first been retrieved and before the second mark is retrieved!
I hope this helps with the clarification!!
Jerry D. Mann
Field Director
Sporting Breeds"
John Cottenham aka jacduck in many circles before the internet
"Duck hunter's minds are like concrete. All mixed up and permanently set."
Section 6. Senior Hunting Test. Dogs shall be
tested in a minimum of four hunting situations that shall include one land blind, one water blind (that may be run as a double blind on land and water), one double land mark,and one double water mark. There shall be at least one
diversion shot and at least one of the hunting situations should include a walk-up. In Senior tests, a double mark is
defined as two marks presented before the dog is sent to
retrieve. Blinds shall not be run between marks in Senior
Hunting Tests.
Even though the the last sentence of the above paragraph when read in conjunction with the next to the last sentence states what[B] could [/] be construed as a prohibition to do so... The AKC has spoken, so to extrapolate
Is it then permisable to interrupt one of the two required double marks with a double blind consisting of one land blind and one water blind?

"A Good Dog is a Good Dog"
Gooser I totally with your last statement there. Believe me I have ran Sr test that were hard then a master going on at same time. As I have stated earlier as a handler and a judge I believe in challenging dogs. But be fair about.
I can say this. Most of time when we all run into this. Key words there is MOST. You have the most points carrying judge trying to impress their co-judge. Or a Master level judge not toning down from Master level. I really didn't want to make that statement but it's true because I have personally witness it as a judge when I first started judging. I spoke my piece to those judges an some agree an change setups an others didn't agree with me. One even over ruled me on a setup because they were high point judge. I have noted not to judge or run dogs under judges like that.
Senior Judges shouldn't be afraid to judge. Those that are, are forced to eliminate with over the top tests. In senior, the dogs which are not sufficiently trained will fail a difficult, straight up test. You don't need to do this kind of stuff.
There are many people who participate in Senior level tests who have no aspiration to run Master tests. Interrupted marks were the 'test du jour' in region 1 Master tests this past year, so why do it in Senior?-Paul
there's no good reason to fatten up a retriever.
I also agree with Gooser. Each level is its own level with its own requirements. Demonstrate the skills for that level and your good. As a judge its up to me to set a fair test that demonstrates that dogs ability based on its level. Shame on me as a judge for not doing that.

I'm with gooser. Did the Mann say u can't run between two gun stations of a double before the marks are thrown? Or not? Is this different than what the Mann said in the seminar attended by GC and others?

REmember,, I am NOT COMPLAINING.. I willtrain for what I need to to pass a test,,, But,,
What on earth is the thinking from AKC officials to require a dog in testing to see a diversion bird ON ITS WAY OUT on a blind retrieve.
A SENIOR DOG! A dog that most of us have spent considerable amount of time getting them to have good blind attitude, to RUN STRAIGHT as sent, only then in testing to have a judge deliberately erode that momentum with a diversion on a dogs route TO a blind?
I just dont get this at ALL for a Senior dog.
A diversion bird on the RETURN of a mark or a Blind is FINE with me I get it,,, But why with young dogs,as the dog is going??? ON A BLIND??? The part of a dogs training we work so hard at getting them to GO,,, and then stay straight??
I mean really,, Is this the only way you can come up with to test control?
Rule book says the following.
Section 25. Diversion Birds and Shots. A diversion
shot is a shot in which no bird is thrown, and shall
only be fired in Senior and Master Tests.
Diversion birds may appear on a blind retrieve either
after the dog has been sent for, or when a dog is returning
from the blind retrieve; however, diversion birds shall
only appear on marks when the dog is returning from a
Diversion birds shall always be initiated in front of
the working dog. The diversion bird is not a mark but
constitutes a trainability situation. It is always retrieved
by the working dog. Diversion birds shall be shot or
thrown when the working dog is in a location that it
should be able to see the bird as it goes up into the air
and as it falls.
Section 26. Weather. Weather is an important
consideration for the hunting test event committee.
The safety of participants and animals is of utmost
importance. Extreme weather such as lightening, strong
winds, heat or cold, snow or heavy rain can create
hazardous conditions. The hunting test event committee,
in consultation with the judges, has the responsibility to
decide if an event should be halted due to weather and
at what point the event shall resume. If a weather delay
results in an entrant being unable to participate, the
refund of entry fees, in whole or in part, will be at the
discretion of the event committee. If an entire event or
part of an event is cancelled due to weather, the refund
of entry fees, in whole or in part, will be at the discretion
of the event committee.

But today I'm trying this intermittent fasting thing. I ate dinner last night, woke up this morning and went workout without breakfast, drank 8 oz of water and a scoop or protein after, for lunch I drank one of those naked juice drinks. I've probably had around 450-600 calories today and that'll be it until I eat dinner tonight. Is that how it's supposed to be done? All the caloric intake was from liquids so far as well btw.
. I always thought it was just called being busy as frick at work
Who knew this had a name. I always thought it was just called being busy as frick at work.
I'll get e-grief for this comment for the tenth time but I think diet is closer to 100% responsible for weight loss. exercise is for health/fitness. Doing both is better for your health. Every morning going to work I see massive people running/jogging/walking trying to sweat out the terrible diets they are on.

A pale yellow hue, the wine is well balanced with great structure. Bright minerality, pink grapefruit and key lime characters shine through on the nose, followed by lemon zest and stone-fruit. The mid-palate displays intriguing notes of lemon meringue, quince and citrus, complemented by a crisp acidity that carries through from start to finish. The higher acidity in this wine makes it a perfect accompaniment to a wide array of food, particularly salads, grilled seafood, tomato-based dishes and fresh oysters.
"What I love most about this wine is that it has a true sense of place. By fermenting and aging without oak, you allow the flavor influences from the vineyard to really shine through." - Kristen Spelletich

My male english bullie about a month shy of his 5th birthday collapsed yesterday evening around 5:30pm which I was able to revive him from, but then he started hemorrhaging from his nares and was vomiting blood. We rushed him to the emergency vet, but he passed around 8:00pm last night. The vet and us are not sure what happened to him, he just went to fast and we'll never know. I couln't bring myself to ask for an autopsy. He is being privately cremated. 4th male bullie I have lost at a very young age. I'll never own another. Its just too heart breaking to see him have gone like this.
I am still in shock. Hug your dogs, you never when its the last time you will get the chance.

I also have no desire to get anyone outside of Core Characters or non-Core figure decos. I have no need for X-Wing Luke without a X-Wing. So out of the first 12 fgiures, I only have interest in 7 of them, meaning I will never see those 7 in stock and the 5 I don't want will be shelf warmers.

DRC: Addressing the most urgent needs in the east
UN agencies and humanitarian partners have appealed for $30.5 million to help more than half a million people displaced by conflict in North Kivu, eastern Democratic Republic of the Congo. Some 150,000 of these people fled their homes after heavy fighting last November.
The North Kivu Response Plan, which was launched on Friday in Goma, will fund life-saving humanitarian activities for the first six months of 2013.
"The response plan is our answer to the loss and suffering endured by thousands of people these past months," said Barbara Shenstone, head of OCHA DRC. "We want to provide families with aid to cover their most basic immediate needs while looking ahead to restoring their livelihoods."
The plan covers programmes to help protect civilians in the region, many of whom were forced from their homes by clashes between the M23 and the Congolese army since April 2012. North Kivu has the highest rates of displacement in DRC.
"While Goma remains calm but tense, new displacements are occurring every day elsewhere in North Kivu with thousands seeking safety in neighbouring South Kivu," said Barbara Beintein, UNICEF's representative in the DRC.
"Many, notably children, risk death, injury, recruitment into armed groups and abuse. We urge all parties to the conflict to protect civilians and to respect international law so that humanitarian agencies can continue to reach and attend to those affected."
The response plan will help aid organizations reach displaced families with food, water, shelter and medicine as well as help them return home and rebuild their lives. Health partners plan to renovate clinics and health centres, and replenish medical supplies. They will rehabilitate water and sanitation facilities to help prevent outbreaks of cholera and other water-borne diseases.
UNICEF and partners will rebuild schools and supply about 240,000 children with school kits. They will provide educational and psychosocial support to help the children deal with trauma caused by the conflict and being forced from their homes.

Cranial mononeuropathy III -- diabetic type -- is usually a complication of
Diabetic third nerve palsy; Pupil-sparing third cranial nerve palsy
Cranial mononeuropathy III - diabetic type -- is a mononeuropathy. This means that only one nerve is damaged. The condition affects the third cranial (oculomotor) nerve. This is one of the cranial nerves that control eye movement.
This type of damage may occur along with diabetic peripheral neuropathy. Cranial mononeuropathy III is the most common cranial nerve disorder in people with diabetes. It is due to damage to the small blood vessels that feed the nerve.
Other causes may include:
Symptoms may include:
An examination of the eyes will determine whether only the third nerve is affected or if other nerves have also been damaged. Signs may include:
Your health care provider will do a complete examination to determine the possible effect on other parts of the nervous system. Depending on the suspected cause, you may need:
You may need to be referred to a doctor who specializes in vision problems related to the nerves in the eye (neuro-ophthalmologist).
There is no specific treatment to correct the nerve injury.
Treatments may include:
Some people may recover without treatment.
Many patients get better over 3 to 6 months. Some persons have permanent eye muscle weakness.
Call your health care provider if you have double vision and it does not go away in a few minutes, especially if you also have eyelid drooping.
Controlling your blood sugar level may reduce the risk of developing this disorder.

[:D] gettting ready for the 09 season...
Can't wait to hear that fist "GOBBLE" as it breaks the morning silence!
I did not draw a tag in MN this year zone 348, I have been hunting there for 2 years and like it. I am trying to spend less this year & will camp instead of staying in a hotel. I have a great place to go in 349 were I can camp & hunt from the same spot, it's perfect except there are to many people w/guns.
There are bonus tags for 348 week E May 5th - May 9th and 349 week F May 10th - 15th...
There is no camping & 348, but I did not contact any of the land owners across the road. I could camp @ 349 and drive over to 348 it's less than 10 miles. Zero pressure, 300 acres to myself more than likely
Tuesday - Saturday... and it's Archery only
349 week F May 10th - May 15th Sunday - Friday I can camp & hunt from the same spot or hunt other places in 349 but like to stay put. A perfect spot that I have hunted there before over 600 acres...
There is camping for 6 groups, around 3/4 groups of 4 hunters max!
It depends,this season is mid week also.
What should I do [8|]

My main question is that in the video Mike does force from the ground, when I forced my older dog we stated on the table then to the ground. Can I start on the table or is it better to work from the ground?

How exciting is that- seeing your own book in print! You are a most talented, lovely lady and it has been a delight meeting you through blog land. I look forward to following all that comes in the future too. Congratulations and I hope your book reaches number one in the book charts!

Age Shirt: Number 6 Edition
14 comments:
She looks quite grown up there. Happy birthday! (I just realize Grace and my girl are almost the exact same age - my DD was supposed to be born February 13, 2006; in the end she came 6 1/2 weeks early, but still!)ReplyDeleteReplies
Happy birthday to your little one, too! 6 really is grown up. 5 still seems almost a toddler to me.Delete
I like that shagadelic 6!ReplyDelete
I could not work out how to turn a zhu zhu pet off one day so I had to stick it out in the yard...too noisy for me.Replies
I had to do that once with a carbon monoxide detector!Delete
Wow, this zoo is surprising, they even have little humans ! :D (however, last week, I was reading a history magazine with Chléa, and I learned that a Parisian zoo had exposed African humans in the 19th century along with elelphants and giraffes :( )ReplyDelete
Chléa loves zhuzhu pets too, she has the hamster ;)Replies
I miss you, Karine!Delete
Now, that is a disturbing story, and sad. Somehow I doubt the humans on display thought it was such a great idea.
Re. the zhu-zhu pets (my kids love them, too) I was going to say "public school", but since you're homeschooling I really don't know. Apparently there's some kind of juvenile mind-meld happening.ReplyDelete
That is a totally groovy shirt, dude. Also, Syo requested Oreos for her birthday the year before last. Apparently she'd never had them. Ever. Who knew I had failed to allow my child to experience the great cultural icon of the Oreo.Replies
Poor Syo. I hope she's feeling cultured now. I don't know if my kids would know Oreos, either, since if I've bought them, I gotten the cheap version which aren't called "Oreos".Delete
Happy Birthday Miss Grace! Hot dogs and a zoo trip sound like a great way to spend a birthday.:)ReplyDeleteReplies
It was a fun time, but it turns out Grace can tell the difference in hot dog qualities!Delete
Love the idea of birthday age on a shirt! Very cute.ReplyDeleteReplies
Thanks! It's a bit of a tradition now. I wonder when they'll tell me, "I don't mind if you skip the birthday shirt this year...."Delete
I totally love the way the leggings coordinate with the print on the 6. Groovy, perfect match!ReplyDelete
Love the humans :) I love the shagadelic font.ReplyDelete

- Helping Children Beat Anxiety Wins a Top Award April 28, 2017Some years ago, Amie Grills was driving with her then-two-year-old daughter when a mosquito bit the child. To the toddler, it might as well have been the shark from Jaws. "Within minutes, she became phobic of bugs," Grills says. Her clinical psychologist's expertise kicking in, Grills pulled into a parking lot, grabbed whatever ants and […]

Ear Stream Black Pearl
Black Pearl is a project introduced after three years of the Moonlight's evolution. Its intention was to create a headphone amplifier with at least equal sound quality followed by much higher output power, enabling the amplifier to work well also with hard to drive high impedance dynamic and orthodynamic headphones. Besides higher power the Black Pearl has got another advantage over...

"My Altec Lansing 716s are getting old and my Sennheiser HD 600s will need new cords shortly, so when I saw the Lenntek Pros at Costco.com for $50, I couldn't pass them up. When I first opened the box, and cut open the sealed all around plastic, I noticed that the included tips are all very small. But if you push them deep, deep, deep into your your ear canal you can get a seal...." --chasfs

Recording information: Chalice Recording, Hollywood, CA; Glenwood Place Studios, Burbank, CA; Pacifique Studios, North Hollywood, CA; The "Bee" Hive, North Hollywood, CA.
Photographer: Jonathan Mannion.
With names like 2 Chainz, Rick Ross, and Chris Brown on the guest list, Game's 2012 effort Jesus Piece was feared to be a combination cash-in and kiss-off to his contract with the Interscope label, at least by those who always looked to the West Coast rapper to keep it real and entirely underground. Dress it all up in controversy -- with some editions of the album having cover art featuring Jesus wearing a gangster rag over his face -- and it's the Game's most shameful ploy to date, but his covering the face was because "nobody's ever seen Jesus," and with the truest of intentions, the loosely conceptual Jesus Piece begins to explore the divine and the devilish, and how they both feed the soul. The hypnotic and hooky highlight "Church" drives to the strip club with this duality on its mind, and as the rapper gets a high mileage table dance, the sexy talk he offers his stripper is "You ain't 'bout that life, you ain't 'bout that life/You don't bounce that ass like 'Oh Lord!' then climb back up the pole to meet Christ." T-Pain and 2 Chainz both get a shout-out just two lyrics later in one of those name-dropping swerves the rapper adores, while the title track drops references to John Coltrane and Kurt Cobain, two troubled souls whose work was divine, something the Game relates to hip-hop by bringing Common and Kanye West onto the cut. On the other hand, the flashy duo of Rick Ross and 2 Chainz are employed for the 10 Commandment-busting anthem "Ali Bomaye," which makes selling your soul to the devil sound swanky and sweet. Then it's the talented and fitting Kendrick Lamar for "See No Evil," an ambitious, cinematic, and cursed cut that could have been dispatched from limbo. The breezy and nostalgic closer "Celebration" feels more like a Sunday picnic than a Sunday sermon, and since this artist seems determined to baffle, killer and conceptually fitting cuts like "Blood Diamonds," "Blood of Christ," plus the Dr. Dre feature "Dead People," are strewn about various editions of the album, appearing as bonus tracks and challenging fans to round them all up. Still, this feature-filled, somewhat messy effort is a welcome surprise, focusing in on its topic and then freeing it with the greatest of ease and making the previously maverick Game sound like a natural born ringleader. ~ David Jeffries

Evercore Partners's Ken Sena today reiterated an Overweight rating on shares of Twitter (TWTR), and a $52 price target, writing that new advertising product the company announced yesterday, "Tailored Audiences," which makes use of Web browser cookies, "will likely allow Twitter to place more relevant Promoted Tweets in users' feeds which we expect will increase advertisers' willingness to pay higher CPE's (cost per engagement) in addition to driving higher overall engagements as well."
Kena thinks the offering is basically like Facebook's (FB) "Custom Audiences" product:
We see little difference when comparing Twitter's "Tailored Audiences" to Facebook's "Custom Audiences". In both products, advertisers use email addresses and other browser data to retarget users. Additionally, with both products, brands must work with select data management providers to help with data encryption. Twitter's partners include Adara, AdRoll, BlueKai, Chango, DataXu, Dstillery, Lotame, Quantcast, ValueClick, and [x+1], while Facebook's partners are BlueKai, Acxiom, Epsilon, and DataLogix, with the only overlap between the two being BlueKai.
Sena raised his estimate for Twitter's adjusted Ebitda in 2015 to $415 million from a prior estimate of $345 million.
Twitter shares today are down 66 cents, or 1.5%, at $44.96 following an initiation last night by Bernstein's Carlos Kirjner at a Market Perform rating, with a $40 target.

Freshwater Inflow Workgroup Meeting Notes
April 6, 2006
Introductions and review agenda
10:15 - 11:00 How our freshwater inflow science should relate to water quantity management and policy
- Bruce Moulton, TCEQ - The Nueces Estuary Advisory Council (NEAC), the role of freshwater inflow science in the actions of the council and how the NEAC may be a model for the future role of science in freshwater inflow policy and management
- Glenda Callaway, Ekistics - The role of and use of freshwater inflow science by the Galveston Bay Freshwater Inflow Group and how that experience may help us learn how freshwater inflow science should be used in future similar situtations
Question 7: How does relative abundance in a bay vary over specific months, seasons or years?
Proposed tests:
- Coherency of the time signal for individual species measured by different gear types (Ward).
- Consistency of the annual signal of counts for individual species over time (Ward)
- Consistency of time trends for the same species between different gear types in a given bay (Ward, MacFarlane)
- Are there statistically significant correlations (0.05 level of significance) between abundances of populations as measured by different sampling methods, i.e. bag seine, trawl, gill net, landings within individual bay systems? (Solis)
Suggested process questions we should address and resolve to move forward in addressing Question 7:
- Which bay (or bays) should we apply Question 7 to? Propose using Galveston Bay
- What species should we apply Question 7 to?
- Which gear types should be analyzed? Bob McFarlane has suggested starting with bag seine and trawl, using gill net when necessary and then using fishery dependent data.
- What is the period-of-record for data we should select? Bob McFarlane proposes the longest available period-of-record.
- Clearly define the tests described above so there is understanding among all members of the group about what will be done.
- Identify who will conduct the analysis and who will review the analysis.

About Us
Rhode Island College's first green and sustainability efforts date back to the last decades of the 20th century, however the growth and diversity of RIC's current programming are a result of a more recent campus-wide effort to make RIC a model campus for sustainable practices and programs. Leadership of RIC's green transformation since 2008 has been provided by Dr. Nancy Carriuolo, President of Rhode Island College and an environmentalist in her own right.
Significant accomplishments include establishment of the RIC Green Team in 2009 and development of many green and cost-saving initiatives by campus offices and divisions related to waste reduction, recycling, energy efficiency, green cleaning, and sustainable planting. Green and sustainability studies programs have been developed for those entering the workforce to undergraduate and post graduate study including Green Business Practices, Urban and Community Farming, the Sustainable Communities Initiative. An ongoing public sustainability speaker series was begun in spring 2012.
RIC's strength is in its commitment to exploring sustainability options with on- and off-campus partners. The addition of a sustainability coordinator, James C. Murphy, in 2012 has accelerated campus and community initiatives. While many challenges still exist, RIC is well on its way to becoming a sustainable campus and community partner in building a sustainable future.

I voted for Ron Paul in the primary and then Gary Johnson in the presidential election. If you look at the libertarian website, a classical liberal approach to these issues is explained. I will not necessarily call myself a libertarian anymore though because it seems to make you a jerk (which I have been in the past on this board). A lot of libertarians should be called "liberal"tarians.
Mudminnow, some specific libertarians are called "jerks" simply because they are "jerks"! No different than some of the other jerks of various political parties. Sometimes it's not the message but the messenger and how it comes across.

I worked on AWACS when Boeing was building the airframe - the contract called for an off the shelf airframe (at that point we had built a few hundred of them ). It seemed as if the government folks job was to get as many add-ons as they could - unfortunately our contract administrators knew the game & made sure the company was properly compensated.
I did the missile sites for Minuteman - they had Engineers doing the routine inspection. The folks from the Corp were interested in pomp & circumstance rather than being interested in engineering.
On one cold December day in 1962 I was parked in front of the Corps office in Max, ND waiting for the Corps inspector to go with me to a site. Some one knocks on my frosty window & informs me I am in his parking stall & proceeds to berate me. When he finishes I rub my arm & ask him if he sees any stripes there, before he can answer I inform him this is a public street, I do not answer to him & I will damn well park there if I so choose. There is more conversation & finally the corps guy comes & we leave. Seems this guy is #2 in the Minot Corps office. They had a favorite name for him & my comment to that was that was a part of a MAN's anatomy .
We are just about to the work site when the radio comes on & announces "Boeing Sundstrom - report to Boeing Max office immediately - so I do. When I get to my bosses office my boss, his boss, his boss & the Base commander for Boeing are there - the immediately demand that I resign & I ask them why? It seems I have insulted one of their customers & they need to show action. So I ask to use the telephone & they ask me why - I tell them I'm going to call my US Senator Karl Mundt & check this out. They asked me to leave the room so they could confer & I did. a little while after that my boss came out & told me to go back to work. Draw your own conclusion .

(Influenza Virus Vaccine)
FLUVIRIN ® is a trivalent, sub-unit (purified surface antigen) influenza virus vaccine prepared from virus propagated in the allantoic cavity of embryonated hens' eggs inoculated with a specific type of influenza virus suspension containing neomycin and polymyxin. Each of the influenza virus strains is harvested and clarified separately by centrifugation and filtration prior to inactivation with betapropiolactone. The inactivated virus is concentrated and purified by zonal centrifugation. The surface antigens, hemagglutinin and neuraminidase, are obtained from the influenza virus particle by further centrifugation in the presence of nonylphenol ethoxylate, a process which removes most of the internal proteins. The nonylphenol ethoxylate is removed from the surface antigen preparation.
FLUVIRIN® is a homogenized, sterile, slightly opalescent suspension in a phosphate buffered saline. FLUVIRIN® has been standardized according to USPHS requirements for the 2014-2015 influenza season and is formulated to contain 45 mcg hemagglutinin (HA) per 0.5-mL dose in the recommended ratio of 15 mcg HA of each of the following 3 viruses:
A/Christchurch/16/2010, NIB-74 (H1N1) (an A/California/7/2009-like virus); A/Texas/50/2012, NYMC X-223 (H3N2); and B/Massachusetts/2/2012, BX-51B.
The 0.5-mL prefilled syringe presentation is formulated without preservative. However, thimerosal, a mercury derivative used during manufacturing, is removed by subsequent purification steps to a trace amount ( ≤ 1 mcg mercury per 0.5-mL dose).
The 5-mL multidose vial formulation contains thimerosal, a mercury derivative, added as a preservative. Each 0.5-mL dose from the multidose vial contains 25 mcg mercury.
Each dose from the multidose vial or from the prefilled syringe may also contain residual amounts of egg proteins ( ≤ 1 mcg ovalbumin), polymyxin ( ≤ 3.75 mcg), neomycin ( ≤ 2.5 mcg), betapropiolactone (not more than 0.5 mcg) and nonylphenol ethoxylate (not more than 0.015% w/v).
The tip caps of the FLUVIRIN® prefilled syringes may contain natural rubber latex. The multidose vial stopper and the syringe stopper/plunger do not contain latex.
What are the possible side effects of influenza virus injectable vaccine?
Influenza virus injectable (killed virus) vaccine will not cause you to become ill with the flu virus that it contains. However, you may have flu-like symptoms at any time during flu season that may be caused by other strains of influenza virus.
You should not receive a booster vaccine if you had a life-threatening allergic reaction after the first shot.
Keep track of any and all side effects you have after receiving this vaccine. If you ever need to receive influenza virus vaccine in the future, you will need to tell your doctor if the previous shot caused any side...

Miriam Chanski v. Michigan Education Association
The Mackinac Center Legal Foundation filed unfair labor complaints on behalf of Miriam Chanski, as well as several other plaintiffs, against the Michigan Education Association over the union's misreading of Michigan's right-to-work law. The union is enforcing an outdated policy referred to as the "August Window," which limits members' ability to exercise their first amendment rights to one month out of the year. To read about our other plaintiffs, please visit their respective pages.
The Plaintiffs
- Miriam Chanski, lead plaintiff
- William "Ray" Arthur
- Matthew Knapp
- Susan Romska
- Jason LaPorte
- Kathy Eady-Miskiewicz
The Issue
Miriam Chanski, a young kindergarten teacher in the Coopersville Area Public Schools district, had been thinking about her options regarding membership with the Michigan Education Association. Then in May 2013, a union representative came to her classroom asking for her credit card or bank account number in order to pay her dues electronically. Feeling uncomfortable with releasing this information, Miriam decided now was the time to make a decision regarding her membership with the MEA. After careful consideration, she decided to end her membership with the MEA under Michigan's new right-to-work law.
Unfortunately, the union is not budging, claiming that Miriam missed the "August Window" to opt out.
The "August Window" was created by the MEA to limit the ability of their members to opt out of the union except during the month of August. It was challenged by a teacher who wanted to exercise his first amendment rights to become an agency-fee payer (as opposed to a dues-paying member) immediately rather than wait until August. The union responded that the administrative burden, including budgeting and purchasing insurance, would be too onerous to expand the window. In 2004, the Michigan Employment Relations Commission, or MERC, accepted this argument over the teacher's immediate application of their first amendment rights. Now the MEA is assuming that the "August Window" still applies despite Michigan's recent passage of a right-to-work law.
In September, an MEA representative told Miriam that since she hadn't paid her dues since she tried to opt out, her name could be forwarded to a collections agency. Says Miriam, "I am a 24-year-old woman. Who knows what I'll be doing some day. Buying a house. My credit is very personal to me and it's something I take pride in."
Deprived of relevant information by her union on how to opt out and subsequently trapped, Miriam has asked the Mackinac Center's Legal Foundation to represent her against the MEA.
Chain of Events
In 2012, Miriam Chanski joined the West Early Childhood Center as a kindergarten teacher. That same year, she was given forms to sign to join the Michigan Education Association and her local MEA affiliate, which under the auspices of Michigan's public-sector bargaining law had been named as her bargaining unit's mandatory representative. These forms authorized the union to take dues from her paycheck in exchange for representation. She believed this was all part of being a teacher.
In May 2013, the U.S. Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals rejected a lawsuit filed by the MEA against Public Act 53 of 2012, which prohibits public schools from deducting union dues from payroll checks. Chanski and her fellow teachers were informed that an updated "process" would be installed.
That same month, a union representative came to her classroom to give her the form with the updated process. It required her bank account number or her credit card number, from which the union could automatically withdraw dues. She considered that information private and did not feel comfortable submitting them on paper. The union offered no alternative option so Miriam decided it was time to end her membership.
She was told to return the form in one week.
Miriam began talking to a few teachers she trusted and a few people outside of her school as to whether there was a form she could sign to opt out, how to make this known to her union, and whether opting out was the right choice.
With insufficient information available, she wrote on the top of the e-dues form the union had given her that she was choosing to resign from the union for the 2013-14 school year. She signed and dated the information next to the declaration, as there was no line to do this. She returned it to her local representative and put it in an envelope to keep it private.
Miriam did not hear anything from the union until July, when she received a letter from Krista Abbott, the MEA's local UniServ director. Abbott detailed in the letter that she had received the e-dues form and had noted that Miriam was choosing to opt out of the union for the 2013-14 academic year. She wrote that there was more to the process. There were no formal forms sent with the letter; it merely said to call her for more information.
Miriam called her that day and ended up talking to Abbott's assistant. Abbott was not available that day, nor the next day. Miriam dropped it for the moment and got back to her summer job.
During the second week of school this past September, the president of the union at Miriam's school stepped into her classroom before school and informed her that she had gotten word that Miriam wished to opt out of the union. She asked if Miriam had sent in a separate letter to the MEA. Miriam said she was not aware of a separate letter she was supposed to send. The president told her that she had missed the August Window to resign, and explained further what that was. She also claimed that these dates had been mentioned at every meeting of the past year —which Miriam claims is not true. Miriam was in attendance at every meeting that spring.
The president did not have a number for Miriam to call so Miriam said she would find a number online. She called the MEA general help number. This representative looked her up in the system and noted that she was indeed still a member. The representative told her not to worry about it and that the union was still sorting through resignation letters that were sent in. Miriam told her she was not comfortable sitting tight any longer, and that she was concerned about the rumors that credit collectors would call if she didn't pay her dues. The representative told her "Just like a credit card, if we don't pay our dues, our bills we will have credit calling us [meaning Miriam's credit could be at risk for unpaid dues]."
Miriam believes she does not owe the union money and that it was her right to resign. She has not attended meetings since she signed the form with her intention to opt out. She is no longer paying dues to an organization she is no longer a part of. She believes information was withheld in order to keep members in the union against their will. As she puts it, "I don't have a bone to pick with the unions at all. We have a right to opt in or out, but I expect that right to be honored."

Certainly one of the more thrilling concerts we can anticipate is Athens, Georgia, songwriter Jeff Mangum, whose recordings as leader of the band Neutral Milk Hotel in the late '90s gathered enough cult fixations and record-store-clerk freakouts to break into the canon of independent rock music. The songwriter plays Portland as part of a 31-date tour this winter, hitting the State Theatre with Tall Firs and fellow Elephant 6 recording artist the Music Tapes.
Before setting out on the tour, which Mangum has said will be his last, the songwriter played a song with Guy Picciotto of Fugazi — another group seemingly on permanent hiatus — in New York in November. The appearance (the duo played one song: a cover of "Sign the Dotted Line" by New Zealand folk-punk band Tall Dwarfs) was part of a concert fundraiser called the People's Bailout Variety Show and Telethon, which helped launch the Rolling Jubilee, the new and radically progressive program that buys up and forgives distressed medical debt, which is an extension of Strike Debt/Occupy Wall Street organized by Mangum's wife, the filmmaker Astra Taylor (Zizek!, Examined Life).
If you know anything about Neutral Milk Hotel or the legendarily reclusive Mangum, it goes without saying he wasn't available for interviewing. Though it should be noted that he's never been more public than right now: the Neutral Milk Hotel discography has been dotingly re-pressed and packaged into vinyl box sets, and a portion of proceeds from the tour and record sales will go to Children of the Blue Sky, a nonprofit organization benefiting street children in Mongolia.
More than anything else, we are really looking forward to a year of celebration. A year in which couples in Maine who love each other can get married — regardless of their sexual orientation. We're looking forward to the sky not falling as a result of gay marriage — and the smug I-told-you-so smiles we'll have a hard time wiping off our faces. We're looking forward to florists and venues and caterers and musicians making even more money off Maine's wedding season than they're used to.
But aside from those joyous days, 2013 will bring some nail-biters when it comes to equality, too. The Supreme Court has announced it will hear two gay-rights-related cases in 2013: one, a challenge to the federal Defense of Marriage Act; the other, a reconsideration of "Prop 8," the law that banned gay marriage in California. The arguments are scheduled to take place in late March, with a decision expected by the end of June. Is it possible to keep our fingers crossed for six months?

Houston's Flywheel Festival unfolds Friday and Saturday with lots of food, fun and quality entertainment.
The 32nd annual Mississippi Valley Flywheel Spring Festival will be held April 26-27 in Joe Brigance Park and kicks off with a boom at the anvil shoot at 11 a.m.
"We started doing the anvil shoot not long after the Flywheel Festival started," said Charles Van Horn, of Vardaman. "We do it the first day of the festival and again at 11 a.m. on Saturday and we close out the festival with our last one at 1 p.m."
Van Horn said the practice started in pioneer days using blackpowder and two anvils.
"In Europe they still do it to mark Christmas Day," said Van Horn. "We just do it because it is fun and we want to see how high it goes."
The anvil shoot will not only mark the start, but also two other high profile events at this year's festival. The 11 a.m. shoot on Saturday will be followed by Ace Cannon on the main stage. Cannon, a Calhoun County native, is a saxophone legend and has traveled the world blowing his special style of music.
The 1 p.m. shoot will mark the start of the Tractor Pull at the back of Joe Brigance Park.
"We always work real hard to make this a fun, family-oriented event," said Harry Collins, spokesman for the Mississippi Valley Flywheel Association. "We've got a petting zoo, more bounce houses and lots of fun stuff for mom and dad, too."
The Houston Touchdown Club will sponsor a catfish supper from 4 to 7 p.m. at the CDF building. Entertainment will be provided from the parking lot out front starting at 5 p.m.
Saturday will see the Pink Ribbon 5K fun-run to raise money to fight breast cancer sponsored by the New Century Club, the pancake breakfast sponsored by the Houston Band Boosters and of course a full slate of vendors selling everything from jewelry and t-shirts to good things to eat.
The Parade of Power will wind through downtown Houston at 9:30 a.m. Local bands and entertainers will take to the stage from 9 a.m., to 2 p.m.
The tractor pull is the main event of the fall festival and it starts around noon.
And, as always, there will be demonstrations of steam and diesel engines, hominy cooking, a working grist mill, lard rendering, lye soap processing and a host of other pioneer projects in the park.
The Chickasaw County Historical and Genealogical Society will also have the Ag Museum open and artifacts on display.
"We had record crowds last year and if the weather holds out we expect another good festival," said East. "The Flywheel Festival brings a lot of people to town and it is a big shopping day for our community."
And there will be plenty of food for the hungry and arts and crafts for shoppers at Joe Brigance Park.
"We have worked real hard to increase the number of vendors at this year's festival," said East. "We expect to have over 40 booths."
Also new this year will be the Miss Flywheel Festival pageant held at Houston High School in conjunction with the festival. The young lady selected will represent Houston at business grand-openings, industrial groundbreakings and other community events.
"The Flywheel Festival is always a chance to showcase our community and we hope people will mark their calendar and plan to come out," said East. "Rain or shine we always have a lot of fun and bring a lot of people to Houston for the weekend.
Vendors wanting to obtain a booth at this year's festival should contact East at 456-2321.
