Two juveniles were arrested for attempting to burglarize two vehicles in the Mill Creek neighborhood this morning.
A deputy saw the two juveniles — a 16-year-old and 17-year-old — attempting to hide in front of a white truck on 2nd Avenue E in Bradenton.
As the deputy approached the juveniles, they tried walking away at a quick pace.
The deputy determined the juveniles were trying to burglarize two vehicles.
The deputy arrested both of them.

I think they did change the rules of where the goalie can handle the puck. I'm not sure if I like the shoot out, but it is better than the 3-point win thing they did the past few years. I didn't mind ties, well, the old system at least.
It is good they made goalie pads smaller. Did you ever see Anaheim's Giguerre without his pads on? Noticed how his stats dropped off the year after they lost the Cup? Because that offseason, they made goalie pads smaller. There won't be that many players that head back to Europe. There is going to be major turnover on all the teams...tons of free agents out there. Colorado and some of the other big money teams are screwed because they are already pushing the cap limit, even after the 24% roll back in salaries.
Hopefully this Crosby kid lives up to the hype for the Penguins.
I miss the old divisions also.

Today's fabulous e-session is a triple threat: we're dealing with one incredibly talented photography team, a reDONKulously rad couple, and a particularly useful lesson in keepin' it real, e-session-style. Ya heard? Ok, put on your raincoats.
You know what today's couple has? The right idea, that's what. When Doug and Courtney – the husband and wife team of Blue Dandelion Photography – sent me the e-session of Sara and Dustin, my excitement dial went from zero to eeelevuhn within seconds. It's no secret that I'm a sucker for balloon action. But make 'em all different colors and then you're just spoiling me. As if that wasn't enough, what really got me going was the unique approach the couple took to their shoot. It made me think to myself, "self, this couple knows what it's all about…"
As you're about to see, this shoot is dripping with playfulness that screams of a couple comfortable in love. Ok, here it comes…
(… Uh-oh…)
Before the big reveal, check out what Doug and Courtney had to say about the couple and the plan:
For Sara and Dustin, they approached us in spring after their friends signed on with Blue Dandelion. They are instantly excitable (in the good sort of way), and Sara has this ability to glean laughter from the most subtle points. When we discussed their engagement shoot, they really wanted to take it in a different direction. She said, "Dustin and I, while totally in love, are not the overly romantic type. We were hoping our pictures could highlight our 'goofy' side." What could be more fitting than balloons, be it filled with air – or water! We simply had a blast doing the shoot, including dodging cars (unsuccessfully) early on, crawling around storm drains and down railroad tracks, and concluding with our waterworks.
* * *
Ok, here's the money shot!
WHAM! Excellent shot, girlfriend!
I love how keeping it real for these two has very little to do with romantic poses and everything to do with having massive amounts of silly fun with one another.
Now, SERIOUSLY, how many girls do you know who are willing to get soaked during their ENGAGEMENT SHOOTS? Some of you may be thinking, "I'd so be game for that," but really think about it. … Would you? I'd like to think I'd be down, but I honestly don't know. And that's why I love Sara.
I don't know these two personally, but I have a feeling we'd make fast friends. Any girl who doesn't mind getting her hair a little wet while getting her picture taken is a girl I admire.
Moral of the story: stay true to you and what you want/who you are as a couple, and everything will work out just as it should. Also, water balloons make for AMAZING E-SESSION PICTURES. I mean, how much do you envy these photos? I now officially need to experience a shoot like this; I don't think I have a single photo of myself completely soaked and I have an inexplicable longing to change that now.
So, what do you guys think of this shoot? Are you digging the "let's just have a load of fun today" approach this couple chose to take? Would you water balloon it up for your shoot? I'm dying to hear your take on this, whatever it may be!!!
xoxo! -Alison

Something that's been on my todo list for Suneido for a long time is cleaning up a few places in the client-server network code where there might be bad interaction with the TCP/IP Nagle algorithm. However, I'd never actually done any testing to see if it was a real problem.
I won't try to explain the Nagle algorithm in detail. I'd recommend "Effective TCP/IP Programmer" by Snader if you're interested. But in short, it's a standard technique used to improve the efficiency of TCP/IP. However, it assumes you alternate between send's and receive's, e.g. send a request, receive a response. If you don't follow this pattern, for example, you do two send's e.g. a header and then data, then the Nagle algorithm can slow you down to 200ms per send/receive, or only 5 "messages" per second - pretty slow. One "fix" is to simply disable Nagle, but then you lose the improvements it brings.
So, last night I fixed the code to combine multiple send's and this morning I did some quick benchmarks. On the client side, the places affected were output, update, and delete. Sure enough, with the old code I was only getting 5 outputs per second (ouch!) With the new code I'm getting 2500 outputs per second, or 500 times faster! Not bad for a few hours work! (NOTE: This only affects client-server operation across the network, not standalone use. Standalone I get about 8000 outputs per second.)
It just goes to show that knowledge is a powerful tool. If I hadn't read about this problem it could have been a long time before I figured it out. Of course, if I had any brains, I'd have made this change a long time ago!

sew4nin- I'll be watching for your package!
Welcome to the Quilting Board!
sew4nin- I'll be watching for your package!
Be a blessing to others, as you may entertain angels unaware!
Mine should be in the mail tomorrow....I'm such a bad example...
~If you can't turn the corners of your mouth up...let the middle sag!~
"Be not afraid, only believe."
Sheri-- we still love ya!
Be a blessing to others, as you may entertain angels unaware!
My squares are in the mail!!!! Wasn't sure I was going to be able to finish this swap. Two weeks ago tomorrow I was washing dishing, in a hurry of course, and shoved my hand into a glass and it broke, making a nice slice across the top of my knuckle . Trip to the ER and 5 stitches later I wasn't able to use my rotary cutter until Thursday. Haven't done dishes for almost two weeks. I think my husband is liking the idea of a dish washer. Any way, my finger is still sore and somewhat stiff and I can only stand to use the rotary cutter for short periods of time. But it will get better.
*dottie, I'm glad you have healed up, and your squares are on their way!
Be a blessing to others, as you may entertain angels unaware!
I'm so glad you sent your squares out.. I so look forward to all the squares from friends.. and you guys need to get yelled at long distance.. PROCRASTINATION will be tolerated with good excuses!!!!
As for your finger Dottie.. Ouch.. I've seen tons of sutured fingers, and 85% of the time, the laceration is from a glass in the sink.. I haven't done it yet, but will let you join the club!!! Feel better..
It seems so long ago when we signed up! Waiting patiently . . . . Mariposa, if we don't have enough swappers I don't mind duplicates, so if needed you can double up on what you send me. I am determined to put these little charmers into an actual quilt this year.
"I keep my end tables full of needlework and quilting so I don't have to dust them." ~ Author Unknown but I agree!
I have that in mind, too.. It scares me to think of all the squares I have. I wonder how many quilts I can make. I still have to finish a project with four of the same quilts involved. It's a QAYG, and I still have to put them all together.. I also have a play mat that has to be finished before the baby gets too old for it.. Ughhh

When I was a Scout in Holland, BSA Troop 100, Brunssum, Transatlantic Council in the Charlemagne district, after our first camp out with the other Scouts from Germany, Holland, England, and Canada, our Scoutmaster would award us a little purple patch. It was something I had never seen before.
When I was a Cub Scout in Virginia, we never wore it, and no one I had seen in Scouting ever had it on either.
This patch was called the World Crest, and it was a BSA Award for participating in International activities. All the British Scouts wore it, as did the Canadians. The German boys of our International Community (AFCENT) started wearing it too.
Later, when I returned to the states with my family, I joined a Troop in Louisiana. Little by little the little purple patch started popping up and by 1991 every Scout in the US was wearing this World Crest.
In England, every Scout is presented his "World membership Badge" when he enters Scouting.
The first design of the patch came way back in the 1930's. It was a badge designed mostly by Baden Powell in his use of the fleur-de-lis signifying the Arrow of the compass and the three points of the Scout Oath.
The emblem as we know it today was adopted in 1955 and is now worn by over 28 million Scouts and Scouters all over the world.
Just one Patch… ties us together in the World Organization of Scouting Movement. Scouts..
How cool is that?
Have a Great Scouting Day!

Former Westlake head coach Max Caldarera and former Barbe head coach Jimmy Shaver. (American Press Archives)
Last Modified: Thursday, December 06, 2012 11:44 PM
By Jim Gazzolo / American Press
It has been a long time since a Lake Area team has won a state football championship, even longer for a Lake Charles school.
Barbe hopes to change all that Saturday night.
The Bucs will play Archbishop Rummel for the Class 5A championship in the Superdome. It marks the second time Barbe has played for the state title, losing in 1980 in a game played at McNeese State.
The following year all the championship games were moved to New Orleans. The Bucs have been close since, but never made it into the final.
West Monroe was the biggest reason why.
That foe finally slayed, the Bucs look to make history. However, history is against them when it comes to local teams in the Dome.
Since the finals were moved to the Superdome, Lake Area teams are 2-13 with Iota winning in 1999 and Jennings in 1992.
That's 13 years since the area has celebrated a championship in football, much longer for the city. The last Lake Charles school to win the crown was Boston High School in 1972 — 40 years ago.
"We need a state championship here in Lake Charles," said former Barbe head coach Jimmy Shaver, who led the Bucs to the championship game in 1980. "One thing is, Barbe deserves an opportunity to play there, they dserve an opportunity to win this thing. All the years we've spent to get the program to where it is, they deserve it. It's time."
The last time a city school played for a title was in 1990, when Washington-Marion lost in the last three championship appearances over a seven-season period.
No area team has made the trip to New Orleans since Westlake did it in 2007, following Sulphur the year before.
That's a drought that would turn any area into a desert.
Barbe wants to change that all and will have the eyes of an entire area focused on its every move.
"When you see all these people supporting you, you don't realize that many people were interested in what you were doing," said former Sulphur head coach Harold Fusilier, who was a defensive coordinator on the 2006 runner-up Tors team.
"You feel a lot of responsibility when you get there."
And the Dome can be overwhelming. It takes some time to get adjusted to not only the size but also the feel to the Dome.
"You walk in the Superdome and there's nothing but goosebumps all over you when you're getting ready in the pre-practice before the game and everything else, said former Westlake head coach Max Caldarera. "It's just a remarkable experience. it is the best feeling you can experience as a football program."
Westlake lost that night by the smallest of margins, 19-18.
For Barbe, the dream of winning a championship as been an elusive one. Now the Bucs have a chance to change that and maybe change the karma of an entire community.
It's been a long time in the making, but Barbe is finally taking center stage.
• When: 8 p.m. Saturday
• Where: Mercedes-Benz Superdome.
• Radio: KLCL (1470-AM)
• Series: 1-1.
• Last Meeting: Barbe 32, Rummel 28, 2010.
• Head Coaches: Mike Cutrera, Barbe, second season; Jay Roth, Rummel, 18th season.
• State Titles: None.
• Last Time In State Final: Barbe lost to East St. John, 15-8, in 1980; Rummel lost to West Monroe, 30-0, in 2009.
• Road To Dome: Barbe beat Terrebonne 24-7, C.E. Byrd 38-21, Parkway 45-35, West Monroe, 49-48. Rummel beat Lafayette, 49-7, Dutchtown, 21-10, Ouachita, 23-19, Mandeville, 17-14.
• When Rummel Has The Ball: Stop if you have heard this before, Barbe's young defense will have to try and stop the Raiders power-running game. It is a ball-control attack that will try to eat up the clock and wear down the Barbe defensive, which has given up huge chunks of yardage this year. The Bucs gave up 546 yards all on the ground to West Monroe in the semifinals, 295 going to quarterback Michael Mims. The Bucs did force a pair of turnovers which led to 14 points and helped fuel the winning comeback.
• Key Players For Rummel: Senior quarterback Damian Williams will lead the Raiders attack. He has accounted for 2,529 yards of total offense and 26 touchdowns. Junior tailback Keith Fulton has rushed for 1,102 yards and scored 20 TDs.
• Keys for Rummel: Rummel is seeking the first state championship in the 49-year history of its program and to do so must control the ball offensively and consume clock time with its rushing attack. Senior quarterback Damian Williams and junior tailback Keith Fulton are key figures in those plans. Williams, as he has all season, is the Raiders' physical and spiritual leader and is making his second state championship game start. But it is the Rebels secondary of corners Henré Toliver, Dontrell Bennett and Austin Vance and safeties Dwayne Eugene and Damarius Crawford that will be tested most by Barbe's pass-crazy offense.
• When Barbe Has The Ball: They will have to score as many points as they can and stretch the field against a Raider defense that has not seen this type of speed all season. The Bucs will try to get out to a lead early in hopes of taking Rummel's offense out of its game plan, which is to pound the football. Barbe must also be able to run the football enough to control the clock at least enough to help out its young defense and give it some rest. That means the Bucs, led by junior quarterback Kennon Fontenot, can't turn the ball over. It has gotten them in trouble in games.
• Key Players For Barbe: Fontenot is the main man. He has thrown for 4,119 yards and 45 touchdowns while being intercepted 10 times. He has also rushed for 566 yards and eight more scores. But he seems at his best when he improvises. Chased out of the pocket against West Monroe, Fontenot ran himself to freedom and was able to throw for 423 yards and six TDs while leading an amazing comeback that saw Barbe score three times in the final 2:11 for the 49-48 win. His favorite targets of are receiver Trey Quinn with 111 catches for 2,094 yards and 26 touchdowns and tight end Desean Smith (42, 730, 9). Courtney Galentine leads the run attack with 1,058 yards and 16 touchdowns but is also a weapon as a pass catcher with 56 grabs for 719 yards and another four scores.

Washington officials broke pension trust
Have you noticed that the government is now referring to Social Security checks as "Federal Benefit Payments"? This not a benefit! It was set up in 1935 as a Trust Fund. Not only did we contribute 15 percent of our income, before taxes, but our employers contributed also.
The folks in Washington were supposed to invest this money and never borrow from it or use it for any other purpose. Instead they have pulled off a bigger Ponzi Scheme than Bernie Madoff ever did. They took our money and used it elsewhere. They "forgot" it was our money they were taking. Not only did they not pay it back but they didn't pay interest on our money they "borrowed." The benefit programs are welfare, food stamps, rent and utility subsidies and Medicaid.
One doctor told me that due to one new rule in Obamacare Medicare has reduced payments to doctors. This is causing some doctors to stop taking Medicare patients. Some hospitals will likely follow suit. Doctors who have reached retirement age may simple stop practicing. Support personal in these offices will be laid off since they don't have as many patients. That will be that many more people out of work and shortage of doctors.
Think of these things while you decide who to vote for. By all means turn out to vote.

New Year, New You: Dazzling Smile
It's a classic move that always works: Make your eye color stand out from afar by doing a tight, thin rim of contrasting black liner on the top and bottom. Here, Allison Williams wears L'Oréal Paris Voluminous Smoldering Eyeliner in Black ($8).
The trick to creating a flattering side-part? Line it up with the outer corner of your eyebrow, says Frederic Fekkai celebrity stylist Adir Abergel, who worked this look on Anne Hathaway. This gives you a soft sweep that frames your face and brings out your cheekbones—no blush required. Seal it in place with a high shine gel.

British Go Journal No. 10. December 1969. Page 4.
Francis Roads
One of the objects of the British Go Association is to spread the knowledge of the game to as many people as possible. Anyone who has tried, as I have, to start a local Go club knows that the best way of getting new members is by personal contact. I have been lucky in having had the opportunity of teaching the game of Go to scores and possibly hundreds of beginners, and I thought it might be useful to pass on some of my experience in winning converts to the game.
It is well known that groups such as science students, computer programmers, schoolmasters and chess-players often provide potential converts, but one can find interest in the game in surprising places - Young Conservatives, Scout groups and even the Townswomens Guild have been known to show interest - and therefore whenever I find myself in the company of new acquaintances, whoever they are, I always try to mention my interest in Go as soon as the conversation allows it. Usually someone will show interest, even if only of the polite variety, and the next step is to manoeuvre that person into asking me how the game is played. The battle is then half-won.
Two points always need to be made clear before even setting out the board and stones: first, that you are not about to explain either Messrs. Waddingtons trivial game or Go-Bang (properly Go-Moku); and second, that, although Go can be a very intellectual game, the basic rules are quick to learn, and that the game can be enjoyed at a very elementary level.
For the purpose of teaching beginners I have made some small quarter-boards (10 x 10) ruled on cardboard. Coloured counters, which cost about 5/- [25p] a gross, serve as stones - red and green or blue and yellow replacing black and white. These sets are very cheap, easily portable when you want to play a number of beginners at once, and also show the beginner how easily he can make his own board.
The generate maximum interest in the game it is usually best to get the beginner actually playing the game as soon as possible, and to cut the introductory explanation down to a minimum; I usually explain first the following six points in order.
The above is enough to enable the beginner to play his first game of Go. Note that it is not necessary to explain about the safety of two-eyed armies ; this after all, is an elementary tactical principle and not a rule. And of course such relative niceties as ko-fights, seki, snap-back, etc. can easily be left out until later - they are not likely to occur in a players first couple of games.
Even with a four-stone handicap on a quarter-board, the beginner almost always ends his first few games by losing all his stones. There is no point in discouraging him by pointing out all his bad moves - better by far to point out a few good ones, even If he doesnt see why they are good. If he has lost a lot of stones in his first games, he will be in a receptive frame of mind for hearing about an infallible way of making his armies invulnerable. This is also a good time to point out the futility of playing stones inside territory securely held by the opponent, explaining exactly why it gains nothing.
By now you will have formed an opinion of your pupils aptitude for the game, and you will be able to judge whether to introduce further elementary points such as connection and disconnection or the use of the third and fourth lines from the edge, or whether to allow him to practise and assimilate what he has learnt so far. At whatever speed he learns the game, it is necessary to give plenty of practice at all stages by playing games that for you will inevitably be rather boring (though even against beginners there are opportunities for practicing and improving ones technique). You always need to try to find as much to praise as to blame in his play, and to remember that what seems blatantly obvious to the experienced player is not so to the beginner.
One should never leave a new convert without extracting a promise to play the game again, preferably with oneself or with a local Go club, nor without giving him the address of the Association and reminding him to send a stamped addressed envelope when writing for details. Its always a good idea to show a few copies of the Go Review and the British Go Journal - he wont understand much of it, of course, but it will help to show him how seriously the game is taken, If possible, beginners should always be left with some literature to read for themselves. The Associations introductory leaflet is very useful for this purpose.
As I remarked at the beginning, personal contact is better than any means of advertising as a way of converting new Go-players. Teaching beginners is not as exciting as playing someone your own strength, but if every Go-player would make it his business to introduce at least some new players to the game each year, it would do more than anything else to ensure the continued growth and success of our Association.

Diagram 28
Diagram 29
The one-point pincer of 2 is now a very popular play. It aims at preventing a White expansion along this side. This is obviously of special importance when black has a corner position in the lower-right corner. In doing this black must be prepared to give up something in return for preventing whites extension. This usually means giving up sente and a wall of influence along the left side.
The most common joseki is that of Dia 28. After white 3,which is played as a sacrifice stone, moves 4 to 7 are forced. For move 8, Black has two basic choices he can play as in Dia 28, placing more emphasis on influence, or at in Dia 29, with more emphasis on the corner, but slightly to Whites advantage.
Diagram 30
If he plays 2 in Dia 29, then 3 is Whites best move. Should white protect his stone immediately, then Dia 30 will result, and the corner exchange is even. The result of Dia 29 is to whites advantage because blacks position in the corner and along the side is not large at all in comparison with whites influence.
Continuing from move 8 in Dia 28, moves 9 to 12 are forced. With 13, White has two alternatives, the one in this Dia and that in Dia 33. 13 here places the emphasis on the left-hand side and 14 to 16 complete the joseki.
Diagram 31
Diagram 32
If Black plays 14 at 1 in Dia 31, then Whites best move is not at 2, which is answered by 3, and black is better off than in Dia 28. Instead he should play as in Dia 32, which produces a result similar to that of Dia 33, but black is less well off.
Diagram 33
Diagram 34
13 in Dia 33 is only playable if black 2 in Dia 34 does not threaten A and B simultaneously. That is, if the ladder formed by black playing at A is in whites favour. If this is not so, then 14 to 16 are best, and the order of 17 and 19 is immaterial.
Diagram 35
Diagram 35b
After this Black again has two major alternatives. One of these is
20 in Dia 33, which forces the remaining moves in the Dia, and, as can
be seen, is simple and concentrates on the left side. The other
alternative is that of 2 in Dia 35, which provokes a difficult fight.
Black 6 can be played as Dia 35b*. Neither of these variations is
recommended unless a deeper study of the position than is possible here
is made.
* [ Dia 35b was textual description in BGJ. ]
Dias 36 and 37 show the different effects that the joseki in Dias 28 and 33 have in a typical situation with a single stone in the lower right corner.
Diagram 36
Diagram 37
A white play at A in Dia 36 would not be a good move because blacks wall would allow him to pincer this stone severely and thus put it at a disadvantage. Also whites position has a weakness which he must protect later, for the sequence black at B, white at C, black at D; puts black in a strong central position.
In contrast to Dia 36, White 1 in Dia 37 is a good move because of the strong White wall.

Spirits are high in the Big Apple, too
NEW YORK -- There's no question that the size and scope of the New York show exceeded most expectations. There are global bosses here. There are important debuts. And there is a must-see atmosphere about a show that, in previous years, felt more regional in nature.
Daimler, for example, flew in journalists from Europe for less than 24 hours -- just for the Wednesday's media day. There is a larger U.S. contingent here. And, unlike last year, no overlap with the Shanghai show.
Why the big deal about New York again?
Many executives here said it's all about a U.S. market in turnaround mode.
Timing is everything.
"There is a ton of optimism about where this year is going -- for the economy and the industry," BMW marketing chief Dan Creed told me Tuesday night. "You've got to be here to show off the products you've got for that resurgence."
How big of a resurgence will it be?
Mercedes-Benz U.S. boss Steve Cannon said his forecasters are talking about 16 million units next year.
"Everyone in this building is revising their forecasts," Cannon said Wednesday. "As the market expands more rapidly, it's obvious no one wants to be left out."

In "Decision Time," Editor Brian Lovett shares a scenario from his 20-plus years hunting turkeys. Each hinges on a critical decision. Post what choice you would have made, and then see how things actually turned out.
Conclusion: The Pugilist
It probably would have taken us a minute to crawl to the hilltop, and the gobbler might have been out of range by then. So, Stoltz took the second option and changed his calling tactics. In fact, he started a fight.
Smacking his hat on the ground and belting out aggressive purrs on his mouth call, Stoltz spared nothing. The turkey responded, gobbling furiously with each sound. Seconds later, the bird had whipped a 180 and was coming in.
When the longbeard's snowball-white head topped the rise and the videographer gave me the OK, I slapped the trigger and ended the hunt. And then I breathed a sigh of relief. It was 9:30 a.m., and I'd beaten the opening-day bell with more than three hours to spare.
"I don't know what changed his mood in the first place, but I figured only a fight or challenge would bring him back," Stoltz said.
And he'd been right. An hour later, Stoltz yelped up two more longbeards and killed a bird with 11/2-inch spurs.
Turns out he's right a lot.
What decision did you make?

pgAdmin 1.8 online documentation
pgAgent Installation
pgAgent runs as a daemon on *nix systems, and a service on Windows systems. In the majority of cases it will run on the database server itself - it is for this reason that pgAgent is not automatically setup when pgAdmin is installed. In some cases however, it may be preferable to run pgAgent on multiple systems, against the same database - individual jobs may be targetted at a particular host, or left for execution by any host. Locking prevents execution of the same instance of a job by multiple hosts.
Database setup
pgAgent stores it's configuration in the "postgres" database in your cluster. This database exists by default in PostgreSQL 8.1 versions, for earlier versions you need to create the database yourself. The database must have the pl/pgsql procedural language installed - PostgreSQL's 'createlang' program can do this if required.
Connect to the "postgres" database (once created if needed), and open the SQL tool. Select the File -> Open option from the menu and find the 'pgagent.sql' script installed with pgAdmin. The installation location for this file varies from operating system to operating system, however it will normally be found under 'C:\Program files\pgAdmin III' on Windows systems (or 'C:\Program files\PostgreSQL\8.x\pgAdmin III' if installed with the PostgreSQL server installer), or '/usr/local/pgadmin3/share/pgadmin3' or '/usr/share/pgadmin3' on *nix systems. Once the file is loaded, click the 'Run' button to execute the script.
The script will create a number of tables and other objects in a schema called 'pgagent'.
Daemon installation on *nix
To install the pgAgent daemon on a *nix system, you will normally need to have root privileges to modify the system startup scripts - doing so is quite system specific so you should consult your system documentation for further information.
The program itself takes few command line options - most of which are only needed for debugging or specialised configurations:
Usage: /path/to/pgagent [options] <connect-string> options: -f run in the foreground (do not detach from the terminal) -t <poll time interval in seconds (default 10)> -r <retry period after connection abort in seconds (>=10, default 30)> -s <log file (messages are logged to STDOUT if not specified)> -l <logging verbosity (ERROR=0, WARNING=1, DEBUG=2, default 0)>
The connect string required is a standard PostgreSQL libpq connection string (see the PostgreSQL documentation for further details). For example, the following command lilne will run pgAgent against a server listening on the localhost, using a database called 'pgadmin', connecting as the user 'postgres':
/path/to/pgagent hostaddr=127.0.0.1 dbname=pgadmin user=postgres
Service installation on Windows
pgAgent is able to self-install itself as a service on Windows systems. The command line options available are similar to those on *nix systems, but include an additional parameter to tell the service what to do:
Usage: pgAgent REMOVE <serviceName> pgAgent INSTALL <serviceName> [options] <connect-string> options: -u <user or DOMAIN\user> -p <password> -d <displayname> -t <poll time interval in seconds (default 10)> -r <retry period after connection abort in seconds (>=10, default 30)> -l <logging verbosity (ERROR=0, WARNING=1, DEBUG=2, default 0)>
The service may be quite simply installed from the command line as follows (adjusting the path as required):
"C:\Program Files\pgAdmin III\pgAgent" INSTALL pgAgent -u postgres -p secret hostaddr=127.0.0.1 dbname=pgadmin user=postgres
The service may then be started from the command line using net start pgAgent, or from the Services control panel applet. Any logging output or errors will be reported in the Application event log.
Security concerns
pgAgent is a very powerful tool, but does have some security considerations that you should be aware of:
Database password - DO NOT be tempted to include a password in the pgAgent connection string - on *nix systems it may be visible to all users in 'ps' output, and on Windows systems it will be stored in the registry in plain text. Instead, use a libpq ~/.pgpass file to store the passwords for every database that pgAgent must access. Details of this technique may be found in the PostgreSQL documentation.
System/database access - all jobs run by pgAgent will run with the security privileges of the pgAgent user. SQL steps will run as the user that pgAgent connects to the database as, and batch/shell scripts will run as the operating system user that the pgAgent service or daemon is running under. Because of this, it is essential to maintain control over the users that are able to create and modify jobs. By default, only the user that created the pgAgent database objects will be able to do this - this will normally be the PostgreSQL superuser.

What is cystic fibrosis?
Cystic fibrosis is an inherited disease of the mucus glands. It causes chronic, progressive damage to the respiratory system, chronic digestive system problems, and can affect other organs.
The signs and symptoms of this disorder are caused by the production of abnormally thick, sticky mucus in the body's organs. Problems with breathing are among the most serious symptoms. Mucus can obstruct the airways and cause bacterial infections in the lungs, leading to chronic coughing, wheezing, and inflammation. Over time, mucus buildup and infections lead to permanent lung damage, including the formation of scar tissue (fibrosis) and cysts in the lungs.
Most people with cystic fibrosis also have digestive problems. Mucus can block the ducts of the pancreas, preventing enzymes produced by that organ from reaching the intestines to help digest food. Problems with digestion can lead to diarrhea, malnutrition, and weight loss. Some babies with cystic fibrosis have meconiumileus, a blockage of the intestine that occurs shortly after birth.
Infertility, or the inability to conceive a child, is common in men with cystic fibrosis, but infrequent in women with the condition.
How do you get cystic fibrosis?
Cystic fibrosis is inherited in an autosomal recessive pattern, which means two copies of the gene must be altered for a person to be affected by the disorder. Most often, the parents of a child with an autosomal recessive disorder are not affected, but are carriers of one copy of the altered gene.
Mutations in the cystic fibrosis conductance regulator (CFTR) gene cause this disease. The protein made by CFTR controls the movement of salt and water into and out of cells. Mutations in CFTR block this movement, causing cells to produce the abnormally thick mucus characteristic of cystic fibrosis.
How common is cystic fibrosis?
Cystic fibrosis is a common genetic disease affecting Caucasians (whites) in the United States. The disease occurs in 1 out of every 3,000 Caucasian births. It also affects other ethnic groups, but is much less common: 1 in 15,000 African Americans and 1 in 31,000 Asian Americans have the disorder.
How is cystic fibrosis treated?
Early recognition of cystic fibrosis and a comprehensive, multidisciplinary treatment program can lengthen survival time and improve quality of life. Specialty clinics for cystic fibrosis can be found in many communities and may be helpful.
Medications include antibiotics for respiratory infections and pancreatic enzymes to replace those which are missing. Vitamin supplements are sometimes prescribed. Inhaled bronchodilators are used to relieve chronic obstruction of the airways.
Other treatments include postural drainage, chest percussion and other breathing treatments.
Lung transplant may be considered in some cases.
New treatments include replacement of the DNAse enzyme. This is available as a medication called dornase (Pulmozyme). Genetic research is ongoing in hopes of correcting the disease by artificially inserting a "normal" gene into the person. This treatment is called gene therapy, and an intranasal form of gene therapy is currently undergoing clinical trials. Research on possible methods which could be used to correct the disorder before birth seems promising.

Good morning, everyone! I don't know about you, but this week went by super fast… then slow for a like a day and a half… then super fast again. Whatever that means. I hope you're all excited that it's Friday!!! I know I am. And since most of what I have to say today is twaddle, I'm just going to jump right into the first Find. But first, let me key you in on something: I'm changing it up a little today. Why? Oh, because I can, that's why. ;) No, it's just because I thought it'd be more fun to do a slow release throughout the day. Keeps the surprise/anticipation factor in full effect, and since I am CRAZY over each and every one of my Finds today, I couldn't think of a better approach. So please, prepare yourselves for a day of incredible inspiration ~ dope DIY, fab fashion, pimped out printables, pretty paper love… yes, serious lovefest going on today. It shall all rule, and you shall love it. I promise.
We begin with what I consider to be one of the raddest brides and coolest weddings I've seen all week (and I've seen a LOT):
Joel and Ricci's wedding took place at the Hard Rock Hotel in San Diego, and was photographed by the always fantabulous Sarah Yates (who you KNOW I LOVE). Serious rock and roll inspiration going on here, to the max. Never been the biggest fan of Madonna-the-early-years-ing it up on your wedding day, but Ricci's choices in the neckwear department are killing me softly with their song.
↑ Look. At those. Shoes. ↓

Find Number 2 is on its way! Sit tight…

Today was Jody McDonald's last day at 950 ESPN, as the sports-talk veteran announced just moments ago.
"This is the last show I will be doing for this radio station. The radio station has decided to go in another direction and I am perfectly fine with that. They informed me this week that my services are no longer needed," said Jody Mac, who went on to thank a number of people who were instrumental in bringing him back such as Bob DeBlois and John Fullam.
"I saw it coming...I knew this job was going to end at some time, and it officially ends today. I will miss talking to Philadelphia sports fans, they're the best on the planet," McDonald says. "I'm not retired, I'm not going anywhere, I've got other gigs right now...This has been my home for 19 years...I truly hope I get to talk Philadelphia sports with you again down the road at another radio station," said McDonald, taking advantage of an opportunity rarely offered in radio for a host to say goodbye to listeners. Typically they're just heard one day, then gone the next.
McDonald, a former 610 WIP, had been at 950 for four years since the station started as Sports Talk 950 AM.
"Jody has been one of the keys to the station's success and we thank him for his many contributions," Program Director Matt Nahigian said in a statement. Jody Mac's co-host Harry Mayes will remain on the 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. time slot, now paired with Dan Schwartzman. As Schwartzman had previously hosted nights, there's now a vacancy. Nahigian says the station is "developing outstanding football-related shows and will annouce details very soon."
UPDATE: Jody Mac just posted a message to fans on his Facebook page. "Thanks for all the kind words here on my page. Don't sweat it much, I'm not. Knew it was coming and wasn't all that moved to stick around anymore anyway. Other than talking to the great fans of Philly and an occassional yuk with Harry, nothing I'm going to miss working there. I'll keep you updated here on if I add another gig in the future to the 2 I alredy have ("The Show" Sirius 210 XM 175 M-F 4p-6p) and 1050 or 1040 ESPn Sat & sun 10a-1p. Stay in touch here !! 'Preeeeeeciate it !!!!"

SLAMM!! "Soema Na Basi" Results: Londt Victorious, Campagna Wins Tournament
- Written by Rian Scalia
Yesterday in Paramaribo, Suriname, the Dutch promotion SLAMM!! held an event featuring an 8-man, one night tournament that included some of the top young, upcoming fighters in the sport. Also featured on the card was rising heavyweight star, Ismael Londt. Many Dutch fighters are originally from or their backgrounds are from Suriname and SLAMM!! has held events their before. As per usual, Team SLAMM!! fighters were featured heavily on the event, with Ajay Balgobind, Anthony Kane and Ismael Londt among others.
The quarter finals of the tournament kicked off with four fights at -70kg, and all went to decision.
Miles Simson vs. Ajay Balgobind
Ajay Balgobind won by decision.
Antoine Mandela vs. Alessandro Campagna
Alessandro Campagna won by decision.
Xavier Benedito vs. Miloud el Geubli
Miloud el Geubli won by decision.
Anthony Kane vs. Cedric Bacuna
Anthony Kane won by decision.
With four men advancing after the quarter finals, it set up the semi finals with Ajay Balgobind vs. Alessandro Campagna and Miloud el Geubli vs. Anthony Kane. Once again, both fights went to decision.
Ajay Balgobind vs. Alessandro Campagna
Alessandro Campagna won by decision.
Anthony Kane vs. Miloud el Geubli
Miloud el Geubli won by decision.
This set up Alessandro Campagna vs. Miloud el Geubli in the finals. This was the only fight to not go to decision in the tournament.
Alessandro Campagna vs. Miloud el Geubli
Alessandro Campagna won by TKO in Round 1 and wins the tournament. Campagna, with this tournament win has shown himself to be an up and coming fighter to keep an eye on. Campagna raised some eyebrows in October of last year when he knocked Houcine Bennoui out in the first round.
Also on the card, Ismael Londt took on fellow Dutch fighter Raemon Welboeren. In an unusual scenario for Londt, he didn't walk away with a knock out win but still managed to get a decision. Londt has been on a tear this year, holding wins over Tomas Hron, Sebastien Ciobanu and Mladen Brestovac. I think it might be time for Londt to take a step up into big time competition soon. Another Dutch heavyweight, Jairzinho Rozenstruik also walked away with a win, this one by TKO over Jahya "Godzilla" Gulay.
The event was supposed to be stream on SLAMM!!'s website, but never did. We don't know what happened, but we expect videos to be up on FightStarTV in the near future.

This Web page is no longer being maintained or updated; it is provided for historical purposes only. For current information on seasonal influenza (flu), see the California Department of Public Health Influenza Web page.
There are 6 main things you should do to help you and others stay healthy:
Yes, there is a group of drugs called antiviral drugs. There are two types of antiviral drugs the CDC recommends for the treatment and/or prevention of infection with the H1N1 influenza virus currently circulating. These two drugs are oseltamivir (brand name Tamiflu®) or zanamivir (brand name Relenza®). These antiviral drugs need to be prescribed by your health care provider. They fight against the flu in your body by keeping flu viruses from reproducing in your body. If you get sick, antiviral drugs can make your illness milder and make you feel better faster. They may also prevent serious flu complications. For treatment, antiviral drugs work best if started soon after getting sick (within 2 days of symptoms).
Influenza antiviral drugs also can be used to prevent influenza when they are given to a person who is not ill, but who has been or may be near a person with H1N1 influenza. When used to prevent the flu, antiviral drugs are about 70% to 90% effective. When used for prevention, the number of days that they should be used will vary depending on a person's particular situation. Influenza antiviral drugs only work against influenza viruses -- they may not help treat or prevent symptoms caused by infection from other viruses that can cause symptoms similar to the flu.
Health care providers should consider treating any person with confirmed or suspected H1N1 influenza with an antiviral drug. Visit: http://www.cdc.gov/swineflu/recommendations.htm for specific guidelines for health care providers on the administration of antivirals. Those without Internet access can also call the CDC hotline at: 800-CDC-INFO (800-232-4636) TTY: (888) 232-6348, 24 hours a day/every day of the week.
Influenza viruses can survive on environmental surfaces like kitchen counters and door knobs, for up to 2-8 hours. Germs can be spread when an infected person coughs on or near a surface like a desk, for example, and you touch this surface and then touch your eyes, mouth or nose before cleaning your hands. Many types of surfaces could potentially be contaminated. The most important precaution you can take to prevent infection from contaminated surfaces is not to touch your eyes, nose, and mouth, and to clean your hands often with soap and water or an alcohol-based hand sanitizer. Wiping frequently touched surfaces like keyboards, door handles, light switches, and counters with sanitizing wipes can reduce germs on those surfaces.
Alcohol-based product, bleach or hot soapy water will all help in cleaning and disinfecting surfaces in your home or at work, like door knobs or phones. EPA-registered household disinfectants are also effective.
If your children are sick with fever and sore throat, cough, or runny nose, keep them at home until they have been fever-free for 24 hours without taking fever-reducing medications.
Getting a flu shot is the single best way to protect against the flu. Pregnant women are at a higher risk of complications from the flu and are being targeted to receive both the H1N1 flu vaccine and seasonal flu vaccine. Talk with your health care provider about getting both a seasonal flu vaccine and the H1N1 flu vaccine. You will need both flu vaccines this year to be fully protected against flu. You should get both vaccines as soon as they are available to protect you and your baby. The seasonal flu Vaccine has been shown to protect both the mother and her baby (up to 6 months old) from flu-like illness.
Pregnant women should know they are part of the first priority group to receive the H1N1 flu vaccine. Seasonal flu vaccine is also recommended for pregnant women and both vaccines can be given at any time during pregnancy. Pregnant women should speak with their healthcare provider as soon as possible if they develop flu-like symptoms. Early treatment with antiviral flu medicines is recommended for pregnant women who have the flu; these medicines are most effective when started within the first 48 hours of feeling sick.
Pregnant women should follow the same guidance as the general public. Take these everyday steps to help prevent the spread of germs and protect your health and the health of your family:
Mothers, household contacts and caregivers for children younger than 6 months of age should get the H1N1 flu vaccine and seasonal influenza vaccine. This is because younger infants are at higher risk of flu-related complications and can't get the vaccines.
General steps mothers and caretakers can take to protect their infant from the spread of germs that cause respiratory (breathing tract) illnesses like H1N1 flu.
Breast milk is still good for your baby even if you are sick with the flu, but you have to be careful to protect your baby from getting sick. Flu can be very serious in young babies. If you are breastfeeding or giving your baby infant formula, a cautious approach would be to protect your baby from exposure to the flu virus in the following ways:
Yes, but please always check with your health care provider before taking any medications while breastfeeding.
If you are taking care of someone with the flu, you should use something to protect your mouth and nose from the virus. An N95 or N100 respirator is a type of mask that fits closely to your face and can be found at your local drug or hardware store. Facemasks such as surgical masks can be found at drug or medical supply stores. An alternative is to ask the ill person to wear a mask when in the presence of other people. Information on the use of respirators and facemasks can be found online at http://www.cdc.gov or http://www.cdph.ca.gov. Those without Internet access can also call the CDC hotline at: 800-CDC-INFO (800-232-4636) TTY: (888) 232-6348, 24 hours a day/every day of the week.
Avoid close contact (being less than about 6 feet away) with the sick person as much as possible. If you must have close contact with the sick person (for example, holding a sick infant), limit your close contact time and try to wear a facemask (for example, surgical mask) or N95 disposable respirator.
A facemask will keep large drops from sneezes from landing on your face. An N95 respirator that fits snugly on your face can filter out small particles that can be inhaled around the edges of a facemask. Respirators are harder to breathe through than face masks. You can purchase facemasks and respirators at a pharmacy, building supply, or hardware store. You should wear an N95 respirator if you help a sick person with respiratory treatments using a nebulizer or inhaler, as directed by their doctor. Respiratory treatments should be performed in a separate room away from common areas of the house when at all possible or outside, weather permitting.
Used facemasks should be thrown away when they become damp and hands washed. N95 respirators may be taken off and stored in a clean dry area so they don't get crushed. After you take off a facemask or N95 respirator, clean your hands with soap and water or an alcohol-based hand sanitizer.
Whenever possible, rather than relying on the use of facemasks or respirators, avoid close contact with people who might be ill and minimize time spent in crowded settings.
You can use a N95 respirator when close contact with an infectious person is unavoidable. An example of this is when you must care for a sick person (like a family member at home). An N95 or N100 respirator is a type of mask that fits closely to your face and can be found at your local drug or hardware store. After you take off a facemask or N95 respirator, clean your hands with soap and water or an alcohol-based hand rub.
N95 respirators may be taken off and stored between use in a clean dry area so they don't get crushed. The respirator can be reused indefinitely until it can no longer form a tight seal on the wearer's face or becomes unacceptably dirty to the wearer. At that point, the respirator should be thrown away in the regular trash.
The California Department of Public Health is working closely with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the World Health Organization, local health departments, and community organizations to:
To manage this emergency, California has activated its emergency centers and is poised to act quickly if the situation changes.
If you are providing care to a household member who is sick with H1N1 flu, the most important ways to protect yourself and others who are not sick are to:
Cleaning your hands often will help protect you from germs. Clean hands with soap and water or with an alcohol-based hand sanitizer. CDC recommends that when you wash your hands -- with soap and warm water -- that you wash for 15 to 20 seconds. If using hand sanitizer, rub your hands until the sanitizing gel is dry. The sanitizing gel doesn't need water to work; the alcohol in it kills the germs on your hands.

Serious BGA & Brown Algae Problem
So I'm experiencing a serious BGA and Brown algae outbreak, I've increased my water changes, removed the driftwood and vacuumed all the substrate beneath it, lowered the amount of time the lights are own and even tried some Dr Tim's waste away which I had remaining. My Discus have begun to hide and are now very skittish much like how newly introduced Discus behave. I see they're various chemicals such as Chemiclean (which I'm unsure if its freshwater safe) that safely remove cyanobacteria. I would just like some recommendations on what to do in this situation.
Here's the blue green algae.
Also you can see the brown algae on my background in this post which I assume are diatoms which makes no sense considering my tank has been well established almost a year now. It's mostly prevalent on the background and giant sword, which is much worse now, what to do?

Do you inject CO2? If not, that might be the missing link. I use DIY CO2 and whenever it runs out, I have crazy algae issues."The Dumpster Tank" 26g flat back hex - Bolivian rams, Checker barbs, Harlequin and porkchop rasbora, neon tetra, SAE, otocinclus
"Mini Mbuna" 20g long - 1 M. pulpican, 1 M. joanjohnsonae
"Electric Blue Acara Tank" 75g - Giant danio, tiger barb, Bristlenose pleco
No CO2 and the lights are marineland doublebright leds, so they're low - medium light.
Try some chemipure in you filter. Diatoms need silicates to survive so you must have some silicates in your water supply (not uncommon). Chemipure works pretty good at removing silicates. Once the silicates are gone so will your diatoms.If you take your time to do the research FIRST, you can successfully set-up and keep ANY type of aquarium with ease.

I just added a second pack of biomax in the second basket so I'll remove that and put in the chemi pure elite grande but I'm going to try the chemiclean, anyone know if I should get the liquid or powder form?
Here;s some other good info on BG algae, which is really a form of bacteria and not algae
I have not used chemiclean before so I can not comment on it. I once had a really bad outbreak that I could not get rid of no matter what I tried. In the end, I had to use antibiotics to clear it. Just make sure if you chose that method, you pick a antibiotic that will not kill off your BB and you should be fine
Edit: sorry, I had the wrong link in this post, I just changed it so it is now the one I intended to post

I had chronic BG algae in my discus tank and it was mostly due to high phosphates (tends to be absorbed by sand and slowly released over time) and my large water changes did keep the nitrates under 5 ppm but that was not good enough. The algae scrubber solved the problem and allowed my daily 50% W/C (which weren't doing much since this tap water also had nitrates!) to be reduced to 50% bi-weekly and NO more BGA!
As for chemicals - bad move with discus and antibotics work but aren't the best thing in the world for fish or humans (avoiding these when not needed is always best; I'm NOT saying don't use them when needed!)Knowledge is fun(damental)
A 75 gal with eight Discus, fake plants, and a lot of wood also with sand substrate. Clean up crew is down to just two Sterba's Corys. Filters: continuous new water flow; canister w/UV, in-tank algae scrubber!! Finally, junked the nitrate removal unit from hell.

Thanks for the link Cliff, I knew bga is actually cyanobacteria but theres some pretty good info in that article.
And Cermet I know Discus are really touchy with chemicals so I was going to use that as my last alternative, I'm already seeing the effects of that cyanobacteria on the fish and I can't afford to lose any fish right now.
So let me get this clear, the BGA went away after you increased your water changes and introduced the algae scrubber?
Yes and no to your question; after the scrubber I decreased my water changes. This was NOT because I felt fewer water changes are in general the better way to go to treat this problem but because water changes with my tap increased nitrate levels (since my tap already had 10 ppm.)
As such, doing just 75% w/c a day would most likely prevent BGA for you but once established, will not remove it. That said, I removed the BGA by vacuuming (lost most the top layer of sand that way but worth it.) Just take plants out and use mechanical action to remove it from plants. Hydrogen peroxide works on some plants but be careful, some plants are sensitive to H2O2. Once clean, I added the algae scrubber and since than, I've never had BGA or any algae reoccur.
Due to my tap issues, I reduced my W/C from 90% bi-weekly (including daily vacuuming) to 50% bi-weekly and vacuuming every other day (got lazy.) My canister takes care of fish waste and the algae scrubber removes nitrates - far, far too well. My nitrates run about 0.5 - 0.8 ppm. This is terribly low and no plant will exist at this level. If you use an algae scrubber and want plants, there is a simple approach but I'll not get into that for now. If you decide to try one (build your own - I have a site that provides details, and if you desire, parts (like the Red LED's!) or even complete kits or assembled units) let me know and I'll PM you the site.
Nitrates are a pain and combined with phosphates just is asking for BGA to grow - discus eat a lot, are messy and produce a lot of waste. The best solution is massive daily water changes and/or massive plant growth. In the real world of most of us, I'll take the scrubber and do smaller W/C's even if I didn't have the nitrate issue with my tap.
By the way, I had, on two occasions, massive outbreaks of BGA and it was fairly harmless to my fish. Not that it is good but I am a little surprise your fish are suffering. Consider a Seachem Nitrate (and includes nitrite) kit. These measure very low levels and are very accurate. Nice to know the true value - say 2.4 ppm Nitrate rather than under 5 ppm like the API kit (with guessing about how yellow the water is ... .) Seachem sells a phosphate kit but while I like that, it is not necessary to know this as long as the nitrates are low and water changes are fairly large and regular.
By the way, dont forget to do deep stirrings of the substrate to remove nitrates, phosphates and liquid fish waste that builds up in fine substrates like sand. This can be a serious issue as Ive repeatedly found out to my displeasure .
Sorry for the delay but I had a dangerous problem to deal with - my heating plant's exhaust pipe started to fall apart (monoxide posioning) and I had to build and instal a new uint - this occured as I was trying to fix some issues with the tank. I was a little overwhelmed by that and my very distant commute (122 miles a day - ugh!) And the next day my daughters car had water in the fuel filter (it froze over night) and I had to fix that - when it rains it pours ... well, really, I should say, snows with our latest weather ... .

First off let me thank you for your reply and no apology needed, I'm grateful for your advice and your experience on this issue. I can't even imagine what you had to go through that day considering there has never and most likely will never be snow where I am lol. I hope everything is okay now with your work, tank and daughter's car.
That being said, I did a massive water change today as I've neglected the tank over the past couple days, vacuumed out most of the cyano that was visible, cleaned the fx5 and general maintenance on the tank, took about 2 hours to do everything. Then as I sat by the tank afterwards relaxing I noticed something disturbing about my plants, almost all of my anubias had some browning on the leaves, my red indian sword also and the abubias roots were turning yellow. I have no idea what is going on I've never had a problem with the anubias before since the tank has been up and now I'm worried.
Is it possible that since I added a considerable amount of new plants that there aren't enough minerals to go around ( I don't dose liquid plant ferts), I only have root tabs on the rooted plants such as the crypts and swords.
I had some flourish so I dosed that and some iron for the red indian sword but what should I do to stop the leaves from turning brown and dying??

According to Bill the pups could be black or yellow. I'm leaning towards a black male. A male pup would throw all three colors. From what I understand, the couple of picks in front of me want females... I don't know... I think you could just put all of them in a sack and shake it up and just reach in and grab one... you still have to train them...
Bill Davis
Congrats on the pup, and glad to see that Bill P didn't get caught up in the color battle.
Roux is not yellow factored, so any yellow factor in Ammo had to come from Tyra. Interesting though. I didn't think she carried yellow. Been wrong before; once...back in '72.
BTW, Burke is turning into a retrieving BEAST!
I posted this on the main board, but you gluttons for punishment over here probably didn't see it. This is my new addition. Already my chocolate card is being threatened.

Nice looking pup Frank! What is it? Black and Tan? You are right about Tyra being yellow factored.. they had Ammo tested and she is as well. And of Course Grady throws yellow....

Congratulations Bill that should be a fun one to say the least.
All the best for you and the new Champion, Bill. Have a joyous New Year.

text: I have an older dog with 26 MH passes and got to the MNHT 3 x with one pass. He is also QAA. I have a 5 year old that has 6 Master passes and is also QAA. The MN has no appeal to me as the field has gotten to be too large. I may run my older 11 year old in HTs as he enjoys it so much and he is still in excellent shape. But now the HT game has me hooked and I will be spending mucch of my effort there.

More visitors flock to Britain's oldest museum - Thursday, 25 February 2010
More than 271,000 visitors flocked to the Royal Armouries (RA) Museum in Leeds in 2009 – an annual increase of nearly 3.5 percent.
Britain's oldest museum's free entry policy, vibrant events programme and 8,5000 exhibits from the national collection of arms and armour succeeded in pulling in the crowds at the purpose-built museum on Clarence Dock.
The increase was even greater at the Tower of London, where the RA houses part of the national collection in the White Tower. The Tower's overall visitor figures jumped to over 2.3 million – an annual increase of 11 per cent.
Part of the Tower's success can be attributed to the highly-acclaimed exhibition, Henry VIII: Dressed to Kill. This marked the 500th anniversary of the Tudor monarch's accession to the throne.
The RA announced its increased visitor figures yesterday (Wednesday) as part of a countrywide announcement by The Association of Leading Visitor Attractions (ALVA). The national trend showed a general increase in visitors to tourist attractions – particularly those offering free entry, as people sought good-value days out in the recession.
Royal Armouries Museum Director Peter Armstrong said, "The Royal Armouries Museum fascinates visitors of all ages and interests whatever the weather. With the museum offering free entry and greater numbers holidaying at home we have seen a fantastic increase in visitor numbers. The weak pound has also attracted foreign visitors."
Looking ahead, the national trend is optimistic – a view shared by the Royal Armouries, which is investing in all its three UK sites.
The White Tower is due to receive a spectacular revamp, to mark the Queen's Diamond Jubilee in 2012, and the RA is carrying out major improvements to its galleries in Leeds.
Work has also started at Fort Nelson in Hampshire, to transform the Victorian Fort into a museum fit for the 21st Century. The £3.5m project, partly funded by a Heritage Lottery Fund grant, will include a new admissions complex, Orienteur Gallery housing some of the big guns and cannon, and classroom of the future.

Here is a great energy snack for your next trek. The Honey Organic Stinger Waffle.
I had never had one of these tasty treats until they appeared in our food bags at… You guessed it.. Philmont!
I immediately fell in love with these and would search every swap box for them. As luck would have it, there seemed to be plenty.
The Stinger Waffle is perfect with a nice cup of coffee, but is tasty anytime.
The waffle is light weight, great tasting and available online or at local sporting goods shops. I'm already getting stocking up for future trips.
I am always looking for good trail snacks that are better for you than candy bars, and trail mix gets old. This is a great option.
Now I did not care for the Stinger Energy bars while at Philmont, so I won't say that all of the Stinger products are to my liking, but the Stinger Honey Waffle may just be my favorite snack on the trail.
Give them a try next time you hit the trail. Let me know what your favorite trail snack is. Leave us a comment.
Have a Great Scouting Day!
