Southland lock Hoani MacDonald collapsed with a suspected heart attack in his team's ITM Cup Championship division semi-final on Saturday.
The 34-year-old required vigorous CPR treatment for more than five minutes before he could be moved from the field and rushed to hospital.
Fairfax media quoted a stadium staff member as saying: "We got him back."
MacDonald, a former New Zealand Junior and New Zealand Maori representative, collapsed midway through the first half.
A Southland team spokesman said it was not known whether he collapsed during an incident on or off the ball, but spectators said MacDonald was treated for a suspected cardiac arrest after he fell clutching his chest.
"Macdonald was taken by ambulance from ECOLight Stadium to Middlemore Hospital," a New Zealand Rugby Union statement said. "He has been put in an induced coma and is stable."
In 2008, MacDonald left New Zealand to play for the Dragons in Wales before moving to Australia in 2011 to play Super Rugby for the Melbourne Rebels.

Time has not been kind to the horror movie genre. While there seems to be a cult following, most would agree that horror films are without a doubt some of the worst films to have ever been made. The Innkeepers manages to avoid the garbage heap but keep your expectations low.
In horror specialist Ti West's (The House of the Devil) latest movie, a pair of workers at an Inn (that's going out of business) try to find signs from the spirit world only to find more than they bargained for.
West managed to impress with his great use of camera movements instilling a chilling sense of unease. His script, however, could use a few re-writes as some of the dialogue lingered on the strong side of smelly cheese.
Surprisingly, the acting from the two main actors, Pat Healy and Sara Paxton, is pretty good this kind of movie. Sara Paxton manages to make the funny scenes believable and keeps the "corny meter" from reaching dangerous levels. Keep an eye out for 80's star, Kelly McGillis (Top Gun) as well.
However, the real star of the movie is provided by the original score of Jeff Grace (The House of the Devil). There's a palpable eeriness to his work, which acts to enhance the unnerving vibe of the movie. The only failure lays in the over emphasized bass tones seemingly used as cues for the audience; unfortunately it was more distracting than anything else.
Special features included in the Blu Ray release include two commentaries with various cast and crew, as well as a fun The Innkeepers: Behind the Scenes featurette.
Bottom Line: Fans will be happy to own this home release, but everyone else should make due with a rental for their night of fright.
Movie grade C+
Blu Ray grade B
Runtime: 101 minutes

Description Report Fraud
Triumph TR3A, for sale in Stratford, Connecticut, price on application.
. . some small areas of body rust down along the edges but surprisingly good under the chassis, floors, inside the wheel wells, trunk, and engine bay. Runs and drives well, relatively new radials, top (in need of plastic windows) and side curtains, wire wheels, disc brakes, new grille, reasonably good chrome, faded original gray paint.
If it sells, fine. Someone will get a nice car in need of small amounts of body welding, bodywork, and paint. And interior work. And if does not sell. . it will get small amounts of bodywelding, body work, paint, and a new interior. And when done, be a very nice TR3.
For more money, of course.
Buy it now and we can help with a new owner's plans for improvement.
A note about these old Triumphs. . for a hell of a lot less than a Morgan, a TR3 offers a lot of vintage fun for the money. The rather archiac steering can be improved with a modern rack and pinion conversion. And the TR engines combine plenty of power with both reliability, and inexpensive mechanical internals.
Nice old car. For not a lot of money. And perfect for the semi ambitious do it yourselfer 'cause we can be contracted to do some of the work with the new owner doing the finishing work.
Oh. . we had some time and have done the following: acquired and installed a brand new radiator, did a compression check: 135 to 150 psi (142 /-5% which sounds pretty close to perfect), 70 psi oil pressure (again, perfect), no smoke, quiet exhaust, runs beautifully. In fact, there are four or five spots of rust BUT NO BONDO and no old repairs. Remember. . . most cars of this age have been repaired, restored, re-restored, and sometimes botched up. Covered with paint, thay can look pretty good. But when stripped. . . UGH. Not this car. What you see is what you get. And with a few days welding, we can offer a really good, bondo and rust free body in need of stripping off original paint.
PS. . this project has been moving along. . body is now COMPLETELY rust free, bodywork done, in primer. . freshly rebuilt all synchro TR3B trans, engine is at the machine shop being rebuilt, we can offer this car in any color and with any interior.

North Korean Missile Launch Successful, Fears Circulate in Southeast Asia
Friday, December 14th, 2012North Korea's rally in celebration of its successful rocket launch last Wednesday indicated the nation's "saving face" in the midst of a similar attempt to put a weather satellite on orbit in April, which failed due to technical failure. The United States, Japan and South Korea condemned the launch, claiming it to be a demonstration of military strength and the capability of North Korea to launch a rocket at its will.
Governments worldwide are growing worried over the technological developments in North Korea, where nuclear technology is clearly developed. The launch clearly defies the 2009 U.N. restriction of missile testing against North Korea in 2006 and 2009, years in which the country launched its prototype nuclear missiles.
The Japanese government states that it shows North Korea's ability to attack even the most distant Japanese Islands with their new rocket. Anti-North Korean protests in South Korea wer held in city squares, all in defiance of the nuclear research and technological development that North Korea had developed for state superiority.
The rocket's parts scattered as it went through its stages to bring the satellite to orbit. Parts landed in the Yellow Sea west of the Korean Peninsula and the Pacific Ocean. Japan also said that it flew over Japanese islands during its launch. The North American Aerospace Defense Command, or NORAD, confirmed the satellites placement into orbit.
The launch also coincides with the events that marked the death of Kim Jong Il on Dec 17 and is clearly the most prominent success of of his governing son Kim Jong Un.

What is an annuity?
An annuity is a contract between an insurance company and a pension scheme member in which an insurance company provides a regular income in exchange for a lump sum.
The amount that you are paid as part of your regular income is dependent on the insurer's estimation of how long you will live, the annuity rates, and the amount of your pension fund.
What are the advantages?
- Provision of a regular income upon retirement
- Choice of annuities available to suit your needs - Joint life annuities available
- Income paid at intervals to meet your needs
The advantages and benefits will depend upon the type of annuity you select. We are here to assist and to ensure that you get the one that best meets your needs and circumstances.
What are the disadvantages?
- Lower rates on annuities for women, due to increased expected life span. However, from 21 December 2012 insurers have not been able to discriminate between male and female annuity rates based on sex alone following a ruling by the ECJ on 1 March 2011 - although rates based on postal codes (where they live) may continue
- Falling annuity rates could reduce the amount that you receive from your pension
- Not very flexible, and unless you have selected a flexible scheme, you could be tied to the policy
- Payments cease on death unless you have selected a spouse pension or guarantee.
The disadvantages will also depend upon the type of annuity you select. We are here to assist and to ensure that you get the one that best meets your needs and circumstances.
Important note
If you do decide to buy an annuity upon retirement, you should ensure that you check policies, rates, restrictions, and benefits very carefully, and if necessary seek advice from an independent financial adviser. Investing in the wrong annuity scheme could cost you a great deal in annual income, so make sure that you look into this subject carefully before you make any commitment.
A pension is a long term investment. Your eventual income may depend on the size of the fund at retirement, future interest rates and tax legislation.
The value of your investment and income from it is not guaranteed it can go down as well as up due to fluctuations in investment markets, and you may not get back the full amount invested.
Levels and bases of and reliefs from taxation are subject to change and their value depends on the individual circumstances of the investor.

Investigate Vehicles Before Purchase
Investigate Vehicles Before Purchase
Purchasing a vehicle is generally one of the largest investments that people make besides a house or property. Cars aren't cheap so it's important that you get exactly what you want when making a purchase. It's also important to make sure that you are purchasing a car that runs great, is worth the price, and will last.
Unfortunately, there are a lot of scams out there with used cars. Some dealers will try to mask problems and some people will even sell vehicles that have liens on them if they think that they can get away with it. Because of these problems, there are apps like InstaVIN that allow you to research things about the vehicle like the vehicles history and title report. The app looks through the government's title and salvage history through NMVTIS with many brand titles check and verified. The app also shows many other sources of information such as lien/loan information, impound and towing events, insurance records, and much more.
Don't risk buying a piece of junk or a car tangled up with financial problems and get a quick and affordable history report. The application can be purchased for $6.99 and is free of monthly fees, hidden costs, and subscriptions. One of the best parts about InstaVIN is that it is available for your mobile device so you can get a report anywhere. This is especially great for car dealers and those who make frequent vehicle purchases.
Things to Consider When Getting Window Tint
Things to Consider When Getting Window Tint
While many think that window tinting is used just to leave the driver incognito, it can also serve protection for you from the sun's dangerous rays. Whatever your reason for tinting your windows, there are a couple things to consider when doing it. Window tinting can be done for very affordable prices if you pick the right company to do it.
Window tinting serves several purposes. One of the most common reasons people tint their windows is to block the sun's rays. These rays can often leave you squinting while driving. Sometimes the sun's rays can block your vision and cause a wreck. Sun rays can also damage leather and interior color in your car. Many people also tint their windows to prevent greenhouse gases from building up and heating up your car. There's nothing worse than getting into a 200 degree car in the middle of summer. People also tint their windows to give their car character and to block the general public's vision of you in the car.
When going to get your window tinted it is important to consider the local laws of tint. It is illegal in many areas to over-tint your car because it can become dangerous while driving. It's also a good idea to view the tint at night so you will know how dark it will be while you're driving. Also, look around in your area for the best window tint company. Read their reviews and compare their prices before you get tint installed.
Is It Possible To Get An Auto Loan Even With Bad Credit?
Is It Possible To Get An Auto Loan Even With Bad Credit?
It is an awful feeling and embarrassing when you learn that your car loan application has been denied. Unfortunately in today's economy, car loan denials are on the rise. The number one reason for an automobile loan getting denied is a bad credit score. Many people don't even realize they have a problem with their credit because they haven't kept up with monitoring their own credit score. If you know you have a bad credit score, you must be thinking you will never be able to get a loan to buy that car you desperately need. This is simply not true. Here are some simple steps that you can follow to obtain a bad credit auto loan :
- Get a copy of your credit report which is free to obtain and review it. The credit report will itemize line by line what loans or credit card payments are outstanding and for what amount, or if you defaulted on the loan. You must make sure this information is correct. If something listed is incorrect you may, by law, dispute these claims. You must submit your dispute in writing and show supporting proof of payment for the erroneous information. If the proof of payment of a loan or credit card is supported, this damaging information will be removed from your credit report. This is going to take some time, so don't wait.
- Next you need to decide if you are going to go to a local dealership and obtain a bad credit loan or if you want to use a financial institution that specializes in these types of loans. A word of caution. Do you homework and shop around. Many times a dealership is going to have higher interest rates and will quickly repossess the car for even a short delay in payment. I call these guys the 'buy here – pay here' corner car lot rip off artists, so be careful.
- Financial institutions that specialize in bad credit loans (also known as sub-prime lenders) typically work with many dealerships thus offering you are wider range of cars and prices to choose from. They also provide you with a preapproved loan thus giving you confidence when you walk into a dealership that you won't be faced with the embarrassment of being turned down. You simply choose your car or truck that is within your loan amount and buy the vehicle you need.
- You need to minimize the number of times you apply for a loan. When you apply for a loan and get turned down, that places another bad mark on your credit score. That is why I feel it is best to use a sub-prime lender that specializes in bad credit loans. There are many to choose from and they will compete for your business by offering you better rates, so don't be afraid to contact several.
So remember, whether you have bankruptcy, foreclosure, divorce, repossession or have been sent to a collection agency in the past, you can still take advantage of a bad credit auto loan and buy the vehicle you want and need.
Get a Limousine in Miami!
Get a Limousine in Miami!
Nothing says class and luxury like a great ride in a limousine. There are tons of different reasons why limo rides may be needed but when you decide to actually get one in the Miami area, there are great companies like MandRlimo.com – Miami limo services that allow you to show up to whatever event and look great while not putting a huge hole in your pocket.
Most people aren't able to afford limo rides everywhere they go but some do! Listed below are several reasons that limo rides are usually purchased:
Concerts and Sporting Events – A limo ride is great for a group of friends on their way to a concert or sporting event. Most likely, there will be alcohol consumption which prevents those attending from driving. Limos are also large enough to transport everybody at the same time. Limos also make great pictures for large groups of people.
Proms – Limousines have become a traditional ride for those attending prom. If you and your date need a ride or if you are going with a large group of couples, a nice looking limousine is a must!
Bachelor/Bachelorette Parties – Limos are usually the perfect size for a bachelor or bachelorette party. They have also become a traditional ride for many of these types of parties.
Whether you have an actual event to attend or if you just need a nice means of transportation to another location, limo rides are great and are usually very affordable with companies like M and R Limo.
The Thrill of the Chase – The Hottest Car Race and Chase Scenes on the Silver Screen
Male or female, the throbbing sound of car engines racing across the silver screen can really get our hearts pumping. And essentially, you don't need to be a gear head to appreciate the thrill of the chase. Revving engines, screeching tires, handbrake turns and heart stopping near-misses have us oohing and ahhing, and on the edge of our seats. If the death defying chase ends in an explosive crash, or a flight off a cliff edge, so much the better – as long as it's the baddies who end up in the ensuing fireball.
The skilful stunt drivers (or sometimes the actors themselves), and the magnificent special effects have been delighting and enthralling us for decades – but which are some of the best Hollywood chases? How about these?
James Bond – all of them!
It does seem that James Bond cannot step into a car for a simple trip to the local mall. Every single drive ends up in a high octane chase either along mountain roads with gut wrenching sheer drops or through crowded city streets. Everyone probably has their personal favorite but among the best are in Dr. No, Live and Let Die, Octopussy, and Quantum of Solace – not content with simply driving, Bond duels with helicopters, has cars that turn into submersibles, and fit through impossibly narrow gaps on two wheels.
One of the most iconic chase scenes ever, features the late Steve McQueen, and indeed Bullitt regularly lands at the top of many lists of the best car chases of all time. For a full seven minutes McQueen's eponymous detective chases two gangsters through the streets of San Francisco at an average of 70mph, and in a way that every car chase scene since has tried to live up to. It's no wonder the film won the Oscar for Best Editing.
Funny Stuff
Some movies put the chase at the heart of the action; indeed a chase is the premise of many a rollicking comedy such as the Rat Race, Monte Carlo or Bust, and the iconic Cannonball Run, but just how many of us wish we could emulate The Blues Brothers and drive through a shopping mall.
The girl has it
This is the 21st century and so a shout has to go out for the female of the driving species. Girls feel the need for speed too, and putting Thelma and Louise aside, we can cite Cameron Diaz in Knight and Day, as well as a few Bond girls who have pushed the pedal to the metal – Barbara Carrerra comes to mind, but the accolade for best fast and furious chick behind the wheel surely goes to Angelina Jolie in Wanted, where she fights an adrenaline- fueled duel with a bus in a Dodge Viper, gripping the wheel at 75mph, and still firing weapons.
To infinity and beyond
Ok, so it's not cars exactly, but one of our first glimpses into how reckless Anakin Skywalker is destined to become, and indeed of our own future travel if sci-fi is the stuff of reality to come, is the lightning-fast speeder pursuit of the assassin Zam Wessell through the 'streets' of Corusant. There's a actually a streak of speed throughout the Stars Wars movies; the pod races on Tatooine, the speeder bike chase in the forest of Endor, the pursuit of the Millennium Falcon by Empire fighters, and the asteroid field chase complete with bounty hunter and sonic bombs, all surely deserve their place in the annals of great Hollywood chases.

Tips On Choosing A Transmission Repair Shop
Tips On Choosing A Transmission Repair Shop
Transmissions can be one of the most expensive things to get repaired on your vehicle. It is important to make a wise decision when it comes to choosing a transmission shop. Below are multiple things to look for when looking for a mechanic to repair your transmission.
1. Do they have reviews online? Check out their Google+ Maps listsing, Yelp, Merchant Circle etc. There are so many different review sites I can't even list them here. Just do a search for the business name along with review and you should be able to find everything you are looking for.
2. Do they offer a warranty? Most new transmissions will come with a warranty from the manufacturer. But when it comes to repairs it us up to the transmission shop owner as to what they want to offer. Make sure to ask if it is not listed on their site.
3. How do they make you feel? Call some shops or stop by and visit them. Trust your gut. If you get that weird feeling in your gut or you feel something is not right, walk away.
4. Ask family and friends? Ask your family and friends for referrals. This is often where most people start. But if the above does not help you in finding a good mechanic then ask your friends.
There you have it. Three things you can do to find a good transmission repair shop.
Cars 2013 are better than we anticipated
Engineers have always played shuffle around big companies and although they have come up with great designs in the past they were burned at the stake by the accounting department because of costs and their ideas were squashed out like a bug. The fact is that now we have customers and gearheads that are really getting sick of seeing their paychecks going to oil companies. I for one am one of those customers and in order to get to work I have to set aside more and more each month to deal with the rising oil prices. Let's face it the design of 2013 cars needs to get us more miles to the gallon and that is exactly what they are doing. We are seeing companies wrangle in their bean counters because let's face it, when accountants build cars they build pieces of shit that break down and actually cost the company more money, for example take the Dodge and Plymouth neon that instead of using the head gasket the engineers wanted the accounting department used a traditional one that would save them a few dollars until buyers engines leaked worst than the titanic and because of that the company had to pay for mechanics to replace all the leaking cylinder head gaskets which cost the company a massive amount of money. So for new cars 2013 let's just let the experts do what they have become experts at and we will have a better vehicle because of it.
Awesome Paint Jobs for Cars
Awesome Paint Jobs for Cars
Since we've entered an innovative era, everybody's creativity is showing, especially when it comes to automobiles. Automobiles now come in all sorts of sizes, shapes and styles and their paint jobs are getting very creative and impressive as well. Some cars are literally becoming art murals while some have pretty impressive marketing ads on them as well.
Some of the recent car paintings I have seen would blow your mind! There are car paintings with Obama on it that look just like one of his campaign posters. I'm also seeing a lot of cars painted that look exactly like wild animals and beautiful cars that range in a variety of painting such as naked women to awesome graffiti that you would see on a bridge.
Along with paintings on cars, there are some pretty impressive new colors of paint for cars. There's the new "Chameleon" colored paint that changes colors when you view it from different angles. Pearl color is another impressive paint that gives a variety of sparkled colors or Metallic paints that give an aluminum-like sparkles. While the paintings can often get pretty expensive depending on the difficulty and artist, some of these custom-color paint jobs can be pretty inexpensive. If you're looking for something different, get a painting for you car or check out these new original colors.
Fatalites in Travel
According to the latest Road Crash Statistics, more than 1,00,000 people die each year in the unfortunate road mishaps only in the United States. Fortunate are those who continue to drive for many years without causing or being involved in an accident. Getting involved in or become a spectator of an accident is an unfortunate event that we all would like to erase from our memory cells. However, it is equally important to know what can we do in a car crash. How can we help the victims or claim car insurance?
The most important thing to check whether any occupant in your car is injured or not. In the case or injury, proper first aid performance including CPR and nursing the wounds (in case of serious injury) while waiting for the ambulance to arrive is most important. After this, you can politely ask the driver to show you his driving license and if he asks for your license, don't hesitate to give him yours.
Never forget to place warning triangles at the appropriate distance to avoid further occurrence of accidents. Note down the details of the driver including the car number (in case, he runs away with his car) and other details such as the names of the insurance companies of the drivers, the policy number and the expiry date of the policy.
You should not move the vehicle from the accident spot until the arrival of the law enforcing agencies. You can also take the picture of the accident scene with your phone camera or make a movie if you possess a Handicam.
After preliminary investigations of the police, you should immediately inform your agent or company to claim car insurance. Normally, it should be done within 24 hour limit of the accident. After this, your insurer will issue a claim number and assign an officer to deal with the case. In the case of unfortunate death or serious injury, the police often detains the vehicle for further inspection.
After that, the insurance company will direct you to a garage of your choice to determine the damage of the car. This is the basic step before determining the amount to be paid and if the damage is less, the company can direct you to repair the vehicle contrary to the claim made by you.
In all circumstances, you should never forget to claim Carsurance auto insurance.

A question has asked if the same color paint that is being used on the wall of our bedroom would look good being used on the ceiling? The crown molding and base boarding will be a white semi-gloss, walls will be light blue in color satin, hard wood floors will be chesnut brownish. We will use a ceiling flat base. | |||
Please don't use a "ceiling paint" on your ceiling. Companies that make paint try to make paints for each application, such a bathroom paints, floor paints, interior and exterior paints, bar-b-que paints, etc. But, when it comes to ceilings, they say: "Well, the ceiling doesn't get dirty, so it doesn't have to stand up to hard scrubbing to remove stubborn marks." Therefore, we don't need to provide a hard drying binder in a ceiling paint, and we can save our loyal customers a few dollars by selling them a less expensive paint with a softer drying binder instead. Paints sold as "ceiling paints" are simply lesser quality versions of the interior paints sold for use on walls. They won't stand up well to hard scrubbing because they have a softer binder resin in them. But, if you scrub off a stubborn mark near a ceiling light fixture or near a window, you're going to see the scrubbed area in the way the light reflects off the ceiling differently in the scrubbed area. Spend the extra $5 and use a top quality interior wall paint on your ceiling instead of a paint meant to be used on ceilings. It'll cost a bit more, but it'll protect you from having to repaint that area after scrubbing off a stubborn mark. Is there any reason you necessarily want to use a flat gloss on your ceiling? It's not a bad idea, but flat paints are harder to clean than glossier paints. Frankly, contractors will use flat paints on ceilings only because of ceiling mounted light fixtures. The sharp lighting angle makes every little glitch in the ceiling drywalling stand out like Mt. Everest or the Grand Canyon. Painting the ceilings with a flat paint helps to hide those glitches and results in fewer complaints from the people that buy their homes. In fact, nowadays most contractors will use "texture" on ceilings. You can nail a dead animal to your ceiling, texture over it, and not notice the "bump" on the ceiling. If you have flat paint on your ceiling, it's not because there's any real benefit to YOU in having flat paint there, it's to the developer building the house. He knows that with flat paint on the ceilings, the people that buy the house won't notice the problems with the ceiling drywall revealed by the sharp angle of the lighting. And, texture on the ceiling will hide almost anything. It's not a BAD idea to opt for a flat paint, but if it wuz me, I'd go with an eggshell for easier cleaning. Colour is personal preference. Ceilings do reflect light and white reflects it better than any other colour. But, in my building I have off-white walls and the same off-white colour on the ceilings only because it allows me to be a little less careful when painting the walls or painting the ceilings. If the point that it would be more work to paint the walls one colour and the ceiling another comes up, you can simply use a piece of sheet metal with some masking tape on one edge to nullify that point. Simply bend the sheet metal into the corner where wall meets ceiling when painting walls with a roller or when painting the ceiling white with a roller. When the masking tape gets all mucked up with partially dried paint, replace the masking tape on that working edge and you're good to go again. Hope this helps.This message has been edited.

I think that making the ceiling the same color as the walls really classes up the room - as long as your walls are a lighter color neutral. Once you get in to some darker colors then adding a dark ceiling just makes the room look ...well....dark. I'd go with a flat finish for the ceiling in the same color as the walls. Use flat because it hides irregularities much better than any other finish. Ceilings get their fair share of movement, either from floor joists moving above from live loads or from the lower cord of trusses expanding and contracting with temperature changes. Because of this, you rarely have a perfectly flat ceiling so there will be imperfections. Flat paint just hides that better. That's not cheap contracting, just working within the reality of the materials. Nestor makes a valid point about clean-up, flat paint is much harder to clean. But, unless you have a 6' tall 15-year-old (like I do) there is not much around that will get a ceiling dirty. I feel that the hiding abilities of flat outweigh the cleaning factor.This message has been edited. Last edited by: Jaybee, Jaybee | ||||
Or, umm, maybe, maybe not. It all depends... I mean, probably. That's just what it said on some web site I was on a long time ago. Can't remember what web site. Can't remember when. I won't be making any comments about nailing animals to ceilings while the investigation is ongoing either. This message has been edited. Last edited by: Nestor, | ||||
Well, I've got to confess that the dead-animal-nailed-to-the-ceiling thing is a totally new concept to me. I might just have to do some research over at deadanimalonceiling.com and check out the install details. Jaybee | ||||
I don't think so that you should use the same color on the ceiling. It will not look so good. However if you have painted the same color than you can go through the some lighting fixture to decor the ceiling of the room, which will give an attractive look to your room. Though, I have also decorated my room by install crystal chandelier, which I have easily installed through the http://www.expertlightinginc.com/ who offered the best services of chandelier installation. | ||||
I would go a shade or two lighter then the walls. The reason being is so it does not come out looking like a box. Sounds silly but I get to work for some really wealthy people that have pro designers come in and one of them owns hotels all over the world and designs all of the interiers himself. When working on his own homes he and his wife have to have every room completly differant and sometimes he comes up with some off the walls ideas. But he has figured out what works to make a simple room look brighter and bigger then it really is. And having the ceilings lighter then the walls is one idea that really works. joecaption | ||||

Learning the ropes: Freshman lawmakers prepare for first session
By Bill Conrad, email@example.com
The day after his Republican primary victory over Jon Cole, Jeff Leach didn't celebrate his nine-month campaign by sleeping in.
Instead, the Plano attorney spent the morning in a meeting with District 67 community leaders.
As one of several freshman representatives in Collin County and Denton County, Leach said he has a lot to do before the beginning of the 140-day legislative session in January. That work includes meeting with constituents as well as current and former legislators who may have valuable insight into what Leach faces come the first of the year.
"This is not only a full-time job, it is an overtime job," he said. "You will find that most legislators have other jobs that they have to hold down when they are in session. I have been blessed with a law firm that has allowed and encouraged me to seek this office. I will continue to practice law and it will be an adjustment for me and my firm, but what I have heard is that it is an adjustment that can be made."
Leach, who will represent portions of Plano, Allen and Richardson, said another adjustment that he will have to make dealing with time away from his wife and two young children -- something he said will not be easy.
"My wife and children are the most important thing in the world for me, and nothing comes in front of them," Leach said. "While it will be an adjustment for our family, it is one we are all willing to make. We are going to all do this together."
In addition to meeting with constituents, freshman legislators have a number of other tasks, including hiring staffs and finding a place to put their district offices. No thought is put into these decisions during the campaign, so decisions must be made quickly after the election is won, said Pat Fallon, the former Frisco city councilman who will represent District 106 during the 83rd Legislative Session.
"During the campaign you only think about reaching out to voters and getting your message out," said Fallon, whose district will include Little Elm, The Colony and the Denton County portions of Plano and Frisco. "It hadn't even entered my mind that I would need an office."
Fallon said the decision to hire staff members is extremely important, noting that no representative can be successful if they are not surrounded by the right people.
"Staffers provide a wealth of knowledge, and that is something a lot of folks might not realize," he said. "A friend of mine once told me that Washington D.C. is run by the 30-somethings and the state capitals are run by the 20-somethings because there is so much work to do. What shocks me is how talented these people are at such a young age."
Texas taxpayers are getting a tremendous value when it comes to paying for legislative staffers, Fallon said, adding that the budget for a state representative's office is about $130,000.
"It is a balancing act to find super-talented people," Fallon said, "but fortunately there are those that are willing to work for a small bit of pay."
The $130,000 pays for a staff, which is typically three people, as well as travel expenses and office space. The money does not include the legislators' salary, which is $7,200 per year, with a $150 per diem payment each day the legislature is in session.
Neither Leach nor Fallon has an opponent in the November election, but both men said they will campaign for their fellow Republicans up through Election Day.
"I plan on encouraging my supporters and my team from a grassroots level to engage in other campaigns," Leach said. "That may include going out into the community and campaigning or making phone calls and contributing money. We will still be actively engaged to make sure we have as large a Republican majority in January as possible."
To help prepare lawmakers for the upcoming session, newly elected officials such as Leach and Fallon have been invited to the House Republican Caucus retreat later this month.
In a move that may sound somewhat odd at first, Fallon said he has been offered an internship with a sitting representative, a position that would allow him better access to the Capitol prior to being sworn in.
"I can only get into the Capitol right now as a citizen; I can't get in as a legislator until January," he said. "Citizens have no easy parking and can't get in the staff entrance. But you can do those things if you are an intern. I am exploring that opportunity so I can get down there to Austin and learn more, including really studying the state budget."
With a large number of the state House members being freshmen and sophomores, the learning curve will be steep.
While Fallon said learning how to be a state representative cannot be learned overnight, opportunities to meet with current and former elected officials will help newly elected lawmakers hit the ground running when they are officially sworn in Jan. 8.
"I was just starting to develop a fluency in municipal government after three years," Fallon said. "Now I am working to develop a fluency in state government. Just like a language, you can't learn it in one day and you won't be fluent after six months or a year, but you are getting there and moving forward."

Chronic Wasting Disease
Chronic Wasting Disease (CWD) is a serious problem for Missourians, particularly private landowners, deer hunters and local deer-hunting-related businesses in north-central Missouri, where CWD has been found. CWD is also a serious issue for Missouri wildlife, specifically free-ranging white-tailed deer and particularly deer in north-central Missouri.
The Missouri Department of Conservation (MDC) is responsible for managing and protecting the wildlife resources of the state and therefore is the appropriate agency to take the lead in addressing the issue of CWD in free-ranging deer. Disease management actions that MDC is implementing, including regulation changes, are appropriate, reasonable and necessary to help slow the spread and limit the prevalence and impact of the disease. MDC is working with hunters, landowners, other government agencies and nongovernment partner organizations to help limit the spread of CWD.
White-tailed deer are a valuable part of Missouri's hunting heritage and local economies. More than 500,000 Missouri deer hunters are vital partners in our efforts to keep the state's deer herd healthy, and they help support our state and local economies. Deer hunters spend more than $690 million directly related to deer hunting each year. This adds up to more than $1 billion in overall business activity and supports more than 11,000 jobs.
What is Chronic Wasting Disease?
Chronic Wasting Disease (CWD) belongs to a group of diseases known as transmissible spongiform encephalopathies (TSEs) which cause degeneration of the brain in cervids such as deer, elk and moose. CWD is always fatal to the infected animal, but can take months or years before symptoms of infection appear. Animals with signs of CWD show changes in natural behavior and can exhibit extreme weight loss, excessive salivation, stumbling and tremors.
How is CWD spread?
CWD is transmitted through prions, which are abnormal proteins that attack the nervous systems of these species. These prions accumulate in the brain, spinal cord, eyes, spleen and lymph nodes of infected animals. CWD is spread by animal-to-animal contact or by animal contact with soil that contains prions from urine, feces or the decomposition of an infected animal. It can spread through activities, such as feeding, that unnaturally concentrate animals, through the natural movement and dispersal of infected free-ranging deer, the transportation of live captive deer with CWD or the transportation and improper disposal of infected carcasses.
How is CWD diagnosed?
CWD in deer can only be confirmed by laboratory tests of brain stem or lymph tissue from harvested animals.
When was CWD first discovered?
CWD was first recognized in 1967 in captive mule deer in Colorado. Since then, CWD has been documented in free-ranging and captive white-tailed deer, as well as mule deer, elk and moose.
Missouri's first cases of CWD were detected in three captive white-tailed bucks at two private hunting preserves in Linn and Macon counties between February 2010 and December 2011. As of June 2012, eight additional cases of CWD have been found in captive white-tailed deer at the private Macon County facility.
In response to the initial cases, MDC worked with hunters during the 2010 and 2011 firearms deer seasons to collect tissue samples from deer harvested in the area. Two free-ranging adult bucks from Macon County tested positive for CWD in the fall of 2011. As of June 2012, three additional cases of CWD have been detected in free-ranging deer in the area.
In what states has CWD been found?
CWD has been documented in a small number of both captive and free-ranging deer in north-central Missouri. It has also been found in Colorado, Illinois, Kansas, Maryland, Michigan, Minnesota, Montana Nebraska, New Mexico, New York, North Dakota, Oklahoma, South Dakota, Utah, Virginia, West Virginia, Wisconsin, Wyoming and the Canadian provinces of Alberta and Saskatchewan.
What is MDC doing to protect the state against CWD?
With the help of hunters, MDC has tested more than 35,000 free-ranging deer for CWD from all parts of the state since 2002, with only five cases detected in Macon County as of June 2012.
MDC is implementing several disease-management actions to help limit the spread, prevalence and impact of the disease.
We're restricting feeding
The Conservation Commission approved a regulation change in May 2012 that places a restriction on activities that are likely to unnaturally concentrate white-tailed deer and promote the spread of CWD. The ban on the placement of grain, salt products, minerals and other consumable natural or manufactured products is limited to the CWD Containment Zone comprised of Adair, Chariton, Linn, Macon, Randolph and Sullivan counties. The regulation becomes effective September 30, 2012.
The regulation includes exceptions for backyard feeding of birds and other wildlife within 100 feet of any residence or occupied building or if feed is placed in such a manner to reasonably exclude access by deer. The regulation also includes exceptions and normal agricultural, forest management, crop and wildlife food-production practices. Hunters and landowners should make existing mineral blocks inaccessible through removal, fencing or covering. Farmers are encouraged to remove salt and minerals when livestock are not present to minimize use by deer.
The reason for the regulation change is that activities such as feeding and placement of minerals/salts that artificially concentrate deer greatly increase the likelihood of disease transmission from animal to animal or soil to animal.
We removed the antler-point restriction
The Conservation Commission approved a regulation change in May 2012 for a special harvest provision that rescinds the antler-point restriction (four-point rule) in the CWD Containment Zone comprised of Adair, Chariton, Linn, Macon, Randolph and Sullivan counties. The repeal of the antler-point restriction will be effective September 15, 2012, the opening of archery season.
The reason for the regulation change is that management strategies, such as antler-point restrictions, protect yearling males and promote older bucks. Yearling and adult male deer have been found to exhibit CWD at much higher rates than yearling and adult females, so a reduction in the number of male deer can help limit the spread of CWD. The dispersal of yearling males from their natal or birth range in search of territory and mates is also one of the primary ways CWD spreads.
We discourage moving carcasses from the CWD Containment Zone
MDC also encourages hunters who harvest deer within the CWD Containment Zone comprised of Adair, Chariton, Linn, Macon, Randolph and Sullivan counties not to take whole deer carcasses or carcass parts out of the area where CWD has been found. Exceptions to this include the following:
- Meat that is cut and wrapped
- Meat that has been boned out
- Quarters or other portions of meat with no part of the spinal column or head attached
- Hides or capes from which all excess tissue has been removed
- Antlers or antlers attached to skull plates or skulls cleaned of all muscle and brain tissue
- Upper canine teeth
- Finished taxidermy products
The reason for this recommendation is that CWD can be transmitted from the environment to deer through soil and water that contain infected waste and/or infected carcasses. Deer can be infected with CWD but have no visible signs or symptoms. Moving harvested deer that still have parts known to concentrate CWD (brain, spinal cord, eyes, spleen and lymph nodes) from the area known to have CWD can introduce the disease to other parts of the state through the improper disposal of carcasses.
Hunters should make every attempt to avoid moving the head and spinal cord from the CWD-Containment Zone. It is important to properly dispose of potentially infected deer carcasses, including bones and trimmings, to minimize the risk of exposure to uninfected deer. Carcass disposal should be done in a manner that makes CWD-causing prions inaccessible to deer. Disposal of deer carcasses in a landfill is the preferred option. Double bag carcass parts and take them directly to a landfill, or place them in trashcans for pick-up. Burying carcass waste is another acceptable option. Carcass waste should be buried deep enough to prevent scavengers from digging it up. As a last resort, and only on their own land, hunters can put carcass waste back on the landscape. Carcasses should be put as close as possible to where the deer was harvested so as to not spread CWD-causing prions to new locations. If possible, put the carcass in a location where it will be inaccessible to scavengers and other deer.
We're continuing fall-harvest CWD sampling
MDC will also continue to work with hunters who harvest deer in the CWD Containment Zone comprised of Adair, Chariton, Linn, Macon, Randolph and Sullivan counties to collect samples for CWD testing.
Can people or livestock get CWD?
The Missouri Department of Agriculture states there is no evidence from existing research that CWD can spread to domestic livestock, such as sheep or cattle. The Missouri Department of Health and Senior Services (MDHSS) states there is no evidence that CWD can infect people.
The Chronic Wasting Disease Alliance recommends the following common-sense precautions when pursuing or handling deer or other cervids that may have been exposed to CWD:
- Do not handle or consume any animal that is acting abnormally or appears to be sick.
- Contact your state game and fish department if you see or harvest an animal that appears sick.
- Wear latex or rubber gloves when field-dressing deer or other cervids.
- Bone out meat from the animal. Don't saw through bone and avoid cutting through brain or spinal cord (backbone).
- Minimize handling of brain and spinal tissues.
- Wash hands and instruments thoroughly after field dressing is completed.
- Avoid consuming brain, spinal cord (backbone), eyes, spleen, tonsils and lymph nodes of harvested animals. Normal field dressing coupled with boning-out a carcass will remove most, if not all, of these body parts. Cutting away all fatty tissue will remove remaining lymph nodes.
- Avoid consuming meat from any animal that tests positive for CWD.
Can hunters get their deer tested for CWD?
A system for individual hunters to have harvested deer tested for CWD is not available in Missouri. As done in 2010 and 2011, MDC will work with individual hunters in the area where CWD has been found to test harvested deer for CWD.
Can hunters bring harvested deer or other cervids to Missouri from other states?
According to the Missouri Wildlife Code, the importation, transportation or possession of cervid (such as deer, elk, moose) carcasses or cervid carcass parts taken from or obtained outside of Missouri is prohibited, except the following:
- Meat that is cut and wrapped
- Meat that has been boned out
- Quarters or other portions of meat with no part of the spinal column or head attached
- Hides or capes from which all excess tissue has been removed
- Antlers
- Antlers attached to skull plates or skulls cleaned of all muscle and brain tissue;
- Upper canine teeth
- Finished taxidermy products
People may transport carcasses or parts of carcasses with the spinal column or head attached into Missouri only if they report the action to MDC by calling 877–853–5665 within 24 hours of entering the state. They must then take the carcasses or parts of carcasses to a licensed meat processor or taxidermist within 72 hours of entry. Licensed meat processors and taxidermists shall dispose of the discarded tissue in a properly permitted landfill.
What can the public do to help?
People who observe or harvest sickly deer should contact their nearest MDC office or conservation agent. Hunters who harvest deer in the area where CWD has been found are encouraged to participate in MDC CWD sampling efforts in the area.

I really really need to lose weight so I can squeeze into the wedding dress of my dreams! Wedding is 17 months away, so got plenty of time but, my problem is I get bored, and comfort eat at the tough times. I need help to keep me motivated and give me a good kick up the backside!
So, starting at 15st 6lbs, I want to get down to around 9st 6lbs so 6st to lose. I am hoping to achieve this by Mon-Sat behaving myself, and eating weight watcher meals and eating plenty of fruit and veg etc, and Sundays will be my day off to have a nice Sunday roast, but a much smaller sized one than usual. I also have an exercise bike, and the Wii Just Dance 3 which I will be doing to get me fitter/toned and I also want to aim to do the couch to 5k in a couple of months once my fitness levels increase a bit.
So, anyone else need 6st to lose? Or anyone else who wants a buddy who they can give a virtual good kick up the backside every now and then?
