"Sent me the wrong product because the original wasn't in stock. Wasn't overly terrible but wasn't overly helpful either and they also said they would take the product down, they haven't."

"Actually got a different design! It still had the W and the Anchor but was different shade and didn't have the boxes around them. I saw the other one but wanted this one, I guess I'll have to settle with the other design. Quick delivery though..."

- Doesn't your dog deserve this? Review by jhb
Your Rating Product Tyson True Chews Chicken Jerky Fillets 9Lbs (12 x 12oz) I was shocked when I heard the news that imported chicken treats were killing our pets! I had been feeding my dogs dried chicken filets thinking that I was providing a healthy treat only to find out that many treats were being imported from China, were not up to our standards, and in fact could poison and kill our pets.
I started searching for a quality chicken treat made with high standards and made in America... is was hard to find such a treat until I lucked upon Tyson True Chews. They are made in America of quality ingredients... and my dogs love them.
I am no longer worried when I give my dogs a well-deserved treat because of the quality Tyson puts into their product... and the dogs seem very pleased too. (Posted on 12/2/13) - Great product Review by Ryan

- Hope they never stop manufacturing them Review by Mimi
Your Rating I've been buying the Tyson Chicken fillets for years--even when they had no additional ingredients in them and were so difficult to break. Therefore, when they changed the formulation, I was delighted, as was my Wheaten,.who gets 4 of them each and every day. Terrific product!! (Posted on 9/8/13)
- Excellent Product Review by Happy Customer
Your Rating Product Tyson True Chews Chicken Jerky Fillets 12oz My dogs love these jerky fillets. They sell out quickly at our local store, so I decided to order 5 packages online and to my surprise they are cheaper here than buying local. This is the first time I have used this company, and I was extremely satisfied with the quick turnaround time. I received my package in less than 5 days. I also love these treats because they are made in the USA....not China like some of the other treats. Definitely recommend this product and ValuePetSupplies. Great company....Great product. (Posted on 8/7/13)

- Two dogs love these Review by Joseph
Your Rating Product Tyson True Chews Chicken Jerky Fillets 12oz We have 2 dogs and they both love these treats. It is getting harder to find treats made in the USA and so these have that added feature. We received our order very fast and received great email updates regarding our order. (Posted on 5/24/13)
- Well... Review by Tina
Your Rating Product Tyson True Chews Chicken Jerky Fillets 12oz My Sam was addicted to the chicken jerky which I can't find anymore (it never made him sick, he ate them for years). He eats these, but isn't nearly as enthusiastic about them. They appear to be a mashup of pieces and parts, molded into a jerky shape. They don't smell anything at all like the chicken jerky treats -- it's more of a smoky aroma, like 99% of the other dog treats on the market. But, he *is* eating them. (Posted on 4/30/13)
- Wonderful treat Review by Jacks mom
Your Rating Product Tyson True Chews Chicken Jerky Fillets 12oz My very fussy Yorky loves these. Thank you so much. He is a hard one to please. Thank you so much. Your delivery time is awesome too. I ordered Wed. and they arrived Fri. All of my orders have been FAST! You're the best. (Posted on 4/12/13)
- Best I found. Review by coach
Your Rating ValuePetSupplies turned out to be the best value and the best service for Tyson True Chews Chicken Jerky Fillets, even better than our local stores. My wife's two small doggies love the chews and it is difficult to find them locally. When you can find them they are more expensive then ValuePetSupplies. Shipped quick and were fresh. (Posted on 4/7/13)
- success Review by liu
Your Rating Product Tyson True Chews Chicken Jerky Fillets 12oz I purchased the True Chews Chicken Jerky for a small breed that was also hooked on the dreaded brands from China. Thankfully, these were a success. They do seem to be a little harder, but she doesn't mind. I started with the 4oz bag and have already moved to the larger bag. Happy Camper! (Posted on 3/21/13)
- Dog love them Review by wgalla
Your Rating could not find chicken jerky in our area anymore since the recall on them, we tried these and our dogs love them, (Posted on 3/14/13)
- American Made Review by jhb
Your Rating The chicken fillets I had been buying for my dogs seemed to be disappearing from the big box pet store shelves, and I found out the fillets had mostly been imported from China... and there had been cases of animals dying after eating them. I was worried!
I researched the problem and found that there were very few vendors who could say that their fillets were made in the USA... not just packaged here. These jerky fillets (processed meat + additives) are made in the USA and my dogs love them.
I trust USA made products and my dogs love them! (Posted on 3/1/13) - Big Hit Review by RetiredANC
Your Rating We have 3 small breeds who were addicted to a similar treat from Wal Mart/Sam's. That product was recalled because of steroid use (in China). When the True Chews arrived yesterday, our babies went nuts. When they're happy, we're happy. (Posted on 2/28/13)

This did happen to me a few years back.
When we disputed some charges, they had a recording that I believe was cut and pasted as you described.
I'm glad they are being caught - if they are.
We did get the charges taken off by being an angry customer, but didn't go further to prove that they had cut and pasted and put somebody in jail.

Quote:Do you think the DM6 or the T-rex have any balance problems when moving towards the zenith? It seems the Nova Hitch would have less issues, but again I've never tried them. Also, do you think the slow motion controls are useful (DM 6 doesn't have them). Again, thanks for all your very helpful advice

Quote:And thanks Prichardson for the link to the Nova Hitch pictures, they are very nice. I would love to get to one of those star parties some day and check out all the great stuff.
Quote:If choosing between DM-6 and T-Rex, the slo-mo controls on the T-Rex would make that an easy choice. I don't own either one, however, my understanding is that they both are comparable in load capabilities and my experience with slo-mo is very positive. Slo-mo vs. nudging--no comparison.
Quote:The DM6 handles any of these set ups with ease and I never feel the need for slow motions. It has become my quick setup " grunt and heave" mount. Dave

Quote:Can you track w/o slo-mo? Sure. But it's much easier and more satisfying with slo-mo. IMO, the DM-6, and others, would be a much improved mount with slo-mo controls.

Quote:BTW, I think Tammy's comparative analyses earlier in this thread are spot on (with regard to DM and HH mounts at least - I've not used a T-Rex) but as pointed out do not necessarily apply to the current Nova Hitch, which is quite distinct from the earlier Half Hitch generation of mounts (great performers in their own right). I'd love to try a Nova with my 140 some day.

The fireworks for our town's New Year's celebration were splendid this year, a joyous celebration of new beginnings to fuel our hopes for a great 2007. But although the stroke of midnight can hold out hopes for unlimited possibilities in a newly minted year, the dawn comes and reminds us that we still need to take out yesterday's garbage and to make our plans a day at a time. For the content industry the dawn of 2007 seems to be ringing in its own reality checks in the wake of a tempestuous year of massive shifts:
While Google seemed to cement its role as the dominant source for global search and online advertising in 2006 the rise of social media and vertical search services as places to start a quest for knowledge began to shift the balance of power in online content services. General search services are still an important resource but with an explosion in available content sources the ability to focus on the most relevant content is swinging more users towards trusted human filters as much as new technologies to help them make sense of it all. While this should be good news for traditional editorial sources today's audiences are swinging towards services that can look at all sources of content with a neutral eye. Quality content still matters, but as major newspapers, magazines and media portals struggle to gain market share from monetizing finite sets of content those who can point to the world's content and put it in context are gaining the loyalty of today's audiences.
The broadest result of these changes is that traditional media outlets are waning rapidly as a true medium for getting at news and information as well as entertainment and marketing messages. From YouTube postings to corporate weblogs to weblog coverage of elections to a cell phone video of Saddam Hussein's hanging the messages that changed the world in 2006 were oftentimes from individuals and institutions communicating directly with the world. 2006 was the dawn of an uneasy recognition amongst publishers that enabling the social media revolution will be a core element of their future successes. It won't be an easy transition - nor will many of today's social media solutions prove to be long-term winners for audiences expecting more sophistication from social media services. But there will be reality checks on both sides of the publishing equation in 2007 as social media becomes just another aspect of expression through a multitude of channels.
One key factor in 2007's reality check will be a Western economy that is reasonably healthy but showing signs of heading towards a slowdown. Infinite content inventory facing a shrinking demand for advertising will not necessarily kill off every marginal online player but it may spell the end of wishful thinking for many traditional outlets that had underinvested in online and specialty print publishing. Moreover, as more marketing money heads down the "long tail" to reach highly focused audiences the impact of an economic slowdown is likely to be felt more at the top of the media food chain than at the bottom. Enterprise content budgets will not be impacted severely for most of 2007 but as the 2008 planning season unfolds a "make do with less" cycle will be encouraging enterprise content users to consider more ad-supported and open access sources of content and to look at how to leverage their own portal infrastructures more effectively to access and publish content.
We'll be expanding on our "Reality Checks" theme in our forthcoming annual Outlook 2007 report, but for now consider six key "A"s that will require our attention throughout the new year:
So here we go again. The fireworks for the year's first night have dimmed quickly, leaving the cold light of a new dawn to greet a Content Nation faced with challenging times and sober realities. But sobriety can be a good thing if you're equipped to deal with the aftermath of a content party that promised never to end. Hello, 2007 - we're looking forward to you rewarding those ready for your challenges.

U.S. Department of Transportation Office of Public Affairs Washington, D.C. www.dot.gov/affairs/briefing.htm
Tuesday, September 30, 2003 Contact: Andy Beck, 202-366-8810 FMCSA 23-03
The U.S. Department of Transportation's (USDOT) Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) today announced that it is delaying the compliance date for its interim final rule governing interstate transportation of household goods by movers and brokers. A new compliance date will be announced in the Federal Register before the next peak moving season beginning on May 15, 2004.
Two organizations filed reconsideration petitions concerning substantive and technical issues in the rule and the FMCSA wants to have ample time to consider their concerns.
"We will ensure that the new compliance date will afford the greatest possible protection to consumers while providing the household goods transportation industry with the lead time necessary to revise their operational procedures," FMCSA Administrator Annette M. Sandberg said.
On Aug. 25, the FMCSA received reconsideration petitions from the American Moving and Storage Association (AMSA), Alexandria, VA; United Van Lines, LLC, Fenton, MO; and Mayflower Transit, LLC, also Fenton.
The interim final rule requires that interstate household goods carriers provide written estimates, have an arbitration program for individual shippers, deliver goods on agreed-upon dates, publish truthful advertisements containing their name and DOT number, and weigh shipments of customers given non-binding cost estimates. It is titled "Transportation of Household Goods; Consumer Protection Regulations."
The rule appeared in the Federal Register on June 11, 2003, and was effective Sept. 9, 2003. The compliance date was to have been March 1, 2004. It is on the Internet at http://dms.dot.gov/ , docket number FMCSA-97-2979. The notice of compliance date for this rule will be in today's Federal Register.

I've noticed that since the rotation of the newer models into the mix, not once has there been a 'new guy' model and 'old girl' model combination, though plenty of the other 3 sets. (As well as one day of a different chick.) I'm just curious as to why. My best guess is the similarity in body type between the two of them, but who knows.

In David Pogue's citation above, he gives credit for the phrase bozo explosion to Ed Colligan. However, I believe that honor should actually be given to Guy Kawasaki, who first used the term in an open letter to Apple employees in the December, 1991 issue of MacUser magazine.

Ohio postpones E Michigan game after campus closes |
ATHENS, Ohio (AP) -- Ohio says Wednesday night's home game against Eastern Michigan is postponed because the campus shut down as a precaution amid a search for an armed robbery suspect.
The Bobcats (15-5, 6-0 Mid-American Conference) say the game against Eastern Michigan (10-10, 3-3 MAC) has been rescheduled for 7 p.m. on Feb. 20 in Athens.
Ohio University officials had called in extra police officers and notified students Wednesday morning following an armed robbery at an apartment complex near campus. The school says the suspect allegedly had a handgun and fled on foot in the direction of the university.
The university was expected to reopen Thursday.

Advancing Residential Sprinklers
NFPA Journal®, July/August 2008
Over the past decade, NFPA and the International Code Council (ICC) have been criticized for not cooperating enough in advancing our common mission to promote safety. While the two organizations have had their differences, we at NFPA believe that NFPA and the ICC should work together, wherever possible, to make buildings safer, because when we cooperate, we are a powerful force for change. Leaders of both organizations have, in the past, expressed the hope that we could, in the future, find more areas for cooperation. The perfect opportunity for NFPA and ICC to work together is now at hand.
Three years ago, the NFPA Standards Council issued the 2006 editions of NFPA 1, Uniform Fire Code®; NFPA 101®, Life Safety Code®; and NFPA 5000®, Building Construction and Safety Code®. Each code requires automatic residential fire sprinklers in all new one- and two-family dwellings.
Since then, more U.S. communities have passed ordinances requiring sprinklers in dwellings. About 400 communities now require sprinklers in newly constructed housing. We expect this trend to continue, and NFPA is committed to working with state and local governments to secure the passage of residential sprinkler laws. Since most deaths and roughly half of all injuries and property loss from fire occur in one- and two-family dwellings, the use of residential sprinklers can have a tremendous effect over time.
While the NFPA codes were the first model codes to include this requirement, the change did not come easily. Proposals requiring residential sprinklers made in several code cycles did not make it through the process. Achieving consensus took years, but agreement was finally reached in the 2006 cycle, and the residential sprinkler requirement was included in our codes.
The ICC is now considering a proposal for the 2009 International Residential Code that will require sprinklers in all new dwellings. At the ICC meeting last fall, a majority of ICC members supported the requirement, but it failed to get the necessary two-thirds vote. But the proponents have not given up and the provision will be considered again this September. NFPA and many other fire-safety advocates will be there to support its passage.
If NFPA and the ICC can both get squarely behind residential sprinklers, it will create unstoppable momentum for the adoption of residential sprinkler requirements across the United States. With those adoptions, it will not be long before we start to see measurable improvements in the fire loss record as new construction brings this technology to more people.
This is an historic opportunity for NFPA and the ICC to work together to make homes safer for the next generation of Americans. We know that powerful groups oppose the installation of sprinklers in homes. But with the passage of time, many of the arguments they make carry less weight, and the obstacles against residential sprinklers will be overcome. We are at a key moment in the push for residential sprinklers. Favorable action by the ICC on the heels of NFPA's approval of residential sprinklers in our codes could propel our campaign, and that is why we will be at the ICC meeting to help make the case.
Whatever the outcome of the hearings, NFPA will continue the fight. But we can think of no more important work that NFPA and the ICC could do together than lead the way to the adoption of residential sprinkler requirements for all new homes in the United States. We are eager to work with the ICC to make this happen.

Castelli Vizio Tre Women's Shorts $119.95
An updated classic.
In between Castelli's comfort-focused Gisele and its race-optimized Body Paint, falls the Vizio Tre Women's Shorts. Essentially, Castelli design the Vizio Tre to balance comfort and efficiency with support and fit. All the while they're loaded with enough Castelli tech to confidently see you through any competition.
And, due to a recent refresh, the Vizio Tre provides even more ride enhancements than prior iterations, like the stretchy Affinity Lycra composition and the KISS3 Donna chamois. Starting at the bulk of the construction, the new, ultra-soft 210g Lycra of the Vizio Tre features enhanced moisture management properties that quickly draw perspiration away from the skin. And not only does this keep you cool and dry, but it also prevents the chafing and rashes that typically result from motion-induced friction.
As a result, Castelli promotes the Vizio as the ideal leg-wear for summer conditions ranging from 60 to 95 degrees Fahrenheit. This builds on the Vizio's already stellar multi-panel cut, super-wide waistband, and GIRO3 leg grippers that discreetly provide the comfort and support to the leg muscles needed for combating fatigue. However, while the aforementioned would justify a 'job well done high five' for most designers, Castelli knows that shorts are nothing without the addition of a quality chamois. Rightfully, Castelli's KISS3 Donna completes the Vizio's cycling credibility.
The KISS3 Donna chamois' two-layer, multi-density foam is molded for functional, anatomic support and outstanding comfort. It features a micromesh, elastic surface for an appropriately cooling airflow, and it's also been treated to destroy harmful bacteria. Tying everything together is double-needle stitching that ensures that the insert's surface rests softly against the skin.
The Castelli Vizio Tre Women's Shorts are available in five sizes from X-Small to X-Large and in the colors Anthracite/white, Black, and Black/white.

These are my absolute favorite pair of shorts. The material is incredibly comfortable and provides just the right amount of compression. The waist band is perfect and keeps the shorts in place without the slightest amount of digging in. And the Giro3 leg grippers are brilliant. I also find the Kiss3 chamois to be more comfortable than the ProgettoX2 Air used in the Principessa short (which are more expensive). I love these so much I bought a pair for my Mom for her birthday and she adores them just as much as I do. Definitely grab a pair, they'll be your favorite too! I'm 5'6" and 135lbs and the medium fits perfectly.

Born in Greenville, South Carolina on March 11, 1965, Jesse Jackson Jr. served as a member of the U.S. House of Representatives from 1995 to 2012, representing the state of Illinois. He grew up in the Civil Rights Movement, in the shadow of his father,
the famous Reverend Jesse Jackson. He studied law and theology before serving as a National Rainbow Coalition field director. Jackson's work as a House representative included campaigning for the addition of a third airport in Chicago. He resigned in late November 2012, citing ongoing health issues.
Younger Years
Jesse Louis Jackson Jr., the son of the famous Reverend Jesse Jackson, was born on March 11, 1965, in Greenville, South Carolina. As the son of a civil rights leader, Jesse Jackson Jr. became politically active at a young age; he gave one of his first speeches when he was only 5 years old.
Active in the Civil Rights Movement, Jackson worked with Martin Luther King Jr. at the Southern Christian Leadership Conference in the 1960s, and then established his own civil rights organization, Operation PUSH, in 1971. He met many famous people through his father, such as baseball great Jackie Robinson; boxing legend Muhammad Ali; and singer Michael Jackson. With his activist father often away, however, Jackson developed a close relationship to his mother, Jacqueline.
The Jackson children were raised on Chicago's South Side, and young Jesse attended public school there for a number of years. An intelligent but hyperactive child, he was transferred to the LeMans Military Academy in South Bend, Indiana, so that he could develop greater personal discipline. It was a transformation that took some time. "I received numerous demerits and became a regular visitor to the principal's office—often to be paddled for conduct unbecoming a cadet," he later wrote of his early experience at the school.
Jackson eventually transferred to the prestigious St. Albans School for boys in Washington, D.C., but found more success on the school's football team than as a student. Jackson graduated from St. Albans in 1984 and his father, who was running for president at the time, gave the commencement speech at his graduation ceremony. Following his graduation from high school, Jackson enrolled at North Carolina Agricultural and Technical State University in Greensboro, North Carolina.
Early Political Activism
Jackson excelled on many levels at the university—he played quarterback on the school's football team, served as student body president, and started a student group to protest apartheid in South Africa. Along with his father and brother, Jonathan Jackson, Jesse Jackson Jr. was arrested in 1985 during a demonstration outside of the South African Embassy in Washington, D.C.
After graduating with a degree in business management in 1987, Jackson focused on gaining a spiritual education; in 1990, he earned a master's degree in theology from the Chicago Theological Seminary. Jackson went on to study law at the University of Illinois College of Law, completing his degree in 1993.

I could smell this baby before I even had a chance to step into the brewpub. Aroma of pine and citrus waft out from the door. The aroma is enticing and I had to smell it for 2 hours while I waited to get in!
Finally got a chance to try this bad-boy, and it is exactly what I expected. It's Elder on steroids, yet just as smooth. Smell is slightly muted in comparison, I believe. Still a nice burst of pine emanating from the glass and into my noseholes. Although the ABV is hard to taste, I can feel it creeping up on me as I finish the glass.
Tastes like a maltier, thicker Elder. It's more balanced, and doesn't have quite the same dry mouthfeel.
Although this is a great beer I feel that I don't need to have it more than once. Then again, I'm not much of a fan of big ABV beers. I'll have a Gaffers bitter instead, thank you.

I'll just start off by stating that this is one of, if not, the most well-balanced, elegantly-crafted hoppy ale(s) I've come across. A true example of brewing art. That said, the taste is quite fine but perhaps a bit underwhelming for more seasoned hop heads.
The liquid is a fiery orange hue with a jewel-like glow, faint haze, and nearly pure white, sticky-cottony foam that stands for a bit before being overcome by lip oils and/or the alcohol level. Looks nice, but nothing out of the ordinary.
The smell is somewhat, somehow restrained, but has one of the most well-defined, 3D aromatic representations of a handful of newly-dried hop cones in the palm of one's hand - dirty/earthy with a ghostly, subtle, spirit-lifting, mildly-mineral, tonic alcohol delivering it to the sinuses... mild orange-citrus undertones... once again, nice, but requiring a few healthy, deep inhales to take it in.
The flavor is ridiculously refined - it is easily seen that this is PtE, attenuated, flattened-out. Tastes about the same, just the depth and definition found in PtE is lacking in this. One would guess, however, that the alcohol would jump out a bit more in PtY and, yet, it doesn't at all. It's amazing how well-hidden it is, though a sense of quiet warmth rises by the last couple sips. Perception of bitterness is minimal, if at all a factor. Extremely well-balanced, but nearly brut-champagne-like in its dryness - the hops (flavor) and malt are too quiet.
Where this beer really captured my attention and imagination was in its absolutely feather-light body. It's as if the carbonation was the only thing that indicated to my senses that I had beer in my mouth. I wouldn't be surprised if this beer finishes at down close to 1.002-1.004. While I attempted to savor it at CTH, at Monk's (owing partly to the excellent special draft list) I powered through it in 3-4 sips. Sooo easy to drink. Dangerous.

Second time having younger, this time at monks, 6 ounce pour in a goblet. Pale yellow, no head, poured ahead of time for at least 100 people. The aroma was light pine. Taste was pine, citrus and alcohol, slightly bitter. The carbonation was good, full bodied. I was very disappointed younger, all 5 of us agreed elder was a far superior brew. Younger is good, but not as good as the hype.

Poured at Monk's Mad Monday event.
A - Golden pour with a clear look. Foam head settled fast (*these were poured rapidly for 100+ people). Slight lacing rides down the glass.
S - Strong scents of pine, some pineapple & mango tropical fruit smell, and hop resin that gives some lingering tobacco notes.
T - Rich flavors of tropical fruit at the front. There is an intense malt presence that keeps the high IBU's tempered. It is not a hop bomb at all.
M - This cannot be any better. Balance on a triple IPA can only be matches, not improved. The body of Younger feels rich on the palate.
O - Now that this is ticked on the bucket list, I can say that PtY is a work of brewing art. Vinny made an inspirational beer that seems less impressive as more heavily hopped & well balanced beers are made. This is the original, and still iconic beer.

Rated 5 out of 5 by mere Great chair!
This low profile chair worked great! We fished from a bank that sloped down a bit. I was helping two boys fish, which required me to be close to "the supplies" and tools for any necessary repairs and removing hooks from great catches. It also helped me sit comfortably while performing my duties as an assistant to these young men.

Rated 5 out of 5 by ORRSA Great Chair
I have been searching for a low profile chair to be used at outdoor concerts and also to be packed on my motorcycle for camping trips. This chair exceeded all my expectations. It is very comfortable to sit in and collapses into a small bundle that can be lashed to a motorcycle or backpack. Last weekend , we spent 10 hours sitting at an outdoor concert, and never once were uncomfortable. The hammock style seat molds to your back if sitting up straight or lounging. A inflatable pillow helps when sitting up straight. The mesh material keeps you cool. The frame is very strong, and allowed one to place hands on the crossbar to push one up making it very easy to get up from. Most chairs collapse when trying to get up. I weigh 240 lb and never feared a collapse. I even took a nap using two chairs facing each other. I strongly recommend spending the few extra dollars. I am sure this chair will last many years. One of the best value and quality gear purchases I have made in many, many years. And if the lack of drink holder is a concern , as it did my girlfriend, just use a cheap hanging car holder. Thanks Bass Pro and Ascend!!!

Purchased two of these chairs and took them on Waikiki beach vacation in my suitcase. They only weigh 5 pounds each. Quality is excellent. Very comfortable with the mesh seats. Carried my 270 pounds with no problem. Allowed us to go to several beaches in comfort.

Top 10 photos of 2011
I have been participating in Jim M. Goldstein's top photos blog for a few years now. This is my selection for 2011. I included an Iditarod photo and for the first time ever 2 portraits.
Click on any photo for larger view!
This one was taken in brutal cold of February near Talkeetna, Alaska. The mountain is Denali or Mt. McKinley. The light were only this intense for a very short time.
This is Reflection Lake deep within Denali National Park. I spent the night about 40 miles in the park to get to this spot for sunrise. I have some outstanding video of this scene too!
I was laying in the snow on a corner in Anchorage photographing the ceremonial start of the 2011 Iditarod. I caught the eye of a Canon film crew who asked if they could video me snapping away with my Canon equipment.
I was photographing this young bald eagle near Deep Creek, Alaska when he suddenly launched into the air. I like the detail coming off the feet. Not my best eagle shot, but I like it.
This fall I was driving to Homer when I spotted this landscape. I hung around for an hour or so for the swans to come into my composition.
The light was wonderful on a hike this winter and took several photos of my wife. Love how this one came out.
Flying a helicopter towards Merrill Pass, we flew over Shamrock Glacier. It is not very often you can see the waters so calm.
This Grizzly loves to pose. He did not disappoint on this trip either. I love stopping and checking on the bears at the Alaska Wildlife Conservation Center.
Another fall shot of Tern Lake on a rare calm day.
A nice backlit portrait. You can really tell she loves her dog Ruger.
I really appreciate Jim hosting these Top Photos on his blog. It sure has grown over the years. http://www.jmg-galleries.com/blog/2011/12/19/blog-project-your-best-photos-from-2011/

A critical job needs superb candidatesJune 20, 2013, 7:35 pm by Roy Bode Although she gave no specifics, various political candidates have complained privately of intimidation by operatives threatening to use money and mud against those unwilling to follow their direction, and much of the back-and-forth in last years Republican primary elections would have made a buzzard retch. Against that history, it is tremendously important rank and file voters understand what is at stake in filling the void Klaeger will leave and do everything possible to encourage serious, well-credentialed candidates to run for an office that is critically important to the future of the Highland Lakes. Not until the past few years has the pace and scope of growth in our area made the County Judges office absolutely, inarguably the single most important in local government. Today, successfully managing challenges posed by burgeoning development and the need for interagency coordination with neighboring counties and state agencies requires an able leader with substantial and credible management experience and political savvy. Klaegers successor must be someone who understands the difference in public service and public sinecure. As a tireless student of water management, criminal justice, finance and other issues that intersect at the county courthouse, she devoted unending hours to understanding their most arcane details and political pressure points and directly engaging the states regulatory substructure. She created beachheads for Burnet County in the Texas Legislature, the Lower Colorado River Authority (LCRA) and the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ), appearing at their meetings, cultivating their staffs and leadership, and helping give our area a voice in the effort to reshape water policy in the state, particularly as it effects the Highland Lakes. Water is the most vital factor in the future of Burnet County and the Austin Metro area and leadership and a sophisticated understanding of the issues and politics involved is absolutely essential at a time when relentless drought has unmistakably proven that resources can diminish as needs increase. On another front, the county thanks to the judge and the commissioners is close to being debt free, perhaps as soon as 2016, with only very modest tax increases. In an age where infinite debt and wanton spending has become a way of life for much of government, that is truly remarkable. That also calls for a successor who not only can read a balance sheet, but knows that citizens and businesses are not bottomless ATM dispensers and views monstrous debt as a problem rather than a solution. So far, James Oakley, a former Burnet County Commissioner, has filed for Klaegers job. While Oakley may prove to be an excellent choice, the position is too important for an unopposed election. Fortunately, there is plenty of time for candidates who fit the measure of the job to join Oakley in the race and gather their supporters. Although we believe elected officials and party leaders should tend to their own business rather than involving themselves in the primary campaigns of select candidates, others who see the importance of electing a truly experienced and thoroughly capable County Judge should encourage those they respect to run and energetically support them if they do. We can do this differently way next year than we did last year. Going forward, voters can insist on civilized, open and transparent local elections without outside political consultants, backroom powerbrokers, personal attacks, rumor mongering and gutter-rat tactics. Allow the best candidates and their supporters to compete on their merits in an intelligent contest. With the immeasurably important office of County Judge in the balance, we owe the county and its citizens the opportunity to choose between men and women who will not be discouraged by our recent political history, but will have faith we can do better. Roy E. Bode President & Publisher Reader CommentsGood riddance to Donna, she was not a good choice for this position, and talk about expanding the truth about your qualifications she did. The only thing Robert and Donna care about are Robert and Donna I have been a resident of Burnet County only a few short 5 years. I have kept up with local news and politics to learn of the county. I grew up on the other end of the Colorado River in Wharton County. Since moving here during the onslaught of the current drought, I can appreciate the commitment that this county and everyone along the Highland Lakes on water conservation. I personally think Judge Klaeger has the best interest of the county at heart. I only hope her predecessor has the same interests of the county
As I stated before...I am from Wharton County.... Rice farmers use use water from the Colorado River downstream from the Highland lakes because it is cheaper than drilling their own water wells. Other farmers away from the river have their own wells. These farms are 30 to 40 miles away from the river. Garwood, Pierce Ranch and everyone down stream to Lane City and Bay City need to suck it up Good riddance. she cares more about politics than real issues. people like her set the county back years. Bill, you are Not Very Nice. Give us some facts, instead of just your empty verbage.
Why do we need qualified candidates? At least in the usual sense or understanding of what most folks think a qualified candidate should be. At this point folks should be just concerned with getting anyone to run or heck for that matter just getting voter turn out. I have known Donna for nearly 10 years, I think she has done a wonderful job as County Judge. I am weary of her replacement as the choices are not that great. |

Joy Adamson. The Biography Channel website. 2014. Available at: http://www.biography.com/people/joy-adamson-37508. Accessed Mar 11, 2014.
Joy Adamson was born January 20, 1910, in Troppau, Austria-Hungary. She relocated to Kenya, where she married George Adamson, a British game warden. She won international renown with her African wildlife books, especially the trilogy describing how the couple raised a lion cub, Elsa. In 1961 she founded the Elsa Wild Animal Appeal. At age 69 she was murdered by a disgruntled employee.
Early Life
Artist and naturalist Joy Adamson spent much of her life in Africa, following her passion for animals. In 1960 book Born Free, she detailed her adventures with a young lion cub called Elsa. This story struck a chord with readers around the world, helping to spur interest in animal conservation in Africa.
The story of this famous writer actually begins in Europe. Born Friederike Victoria Gessner, she grew up in Troppau, which was part of the Austria-Hungary empire and is now known as Opava, Czech Republic. Adamson enjoyed a life of wealth and privilege as the daughter of a wealthy architect. She studied piano and the arts, among other subjects, in school.
Adamson married for the first time in 1935, becoming the wife of businessman Victor von Klarwill. He sent her on a trip to Africa on her own. According to some reports, von Klarwill wanted her to see if they could move there. Adamson, however, soon met another man, botanist Peter Bally, during her travels. In love with this new land and Bally, she decided to stay in Africa and divorce her husband. Adamson wed Bally in 1937, and it was Bally who gave her the nickname "Joy"—a moniker she used for the rest of her life.
At first, Adamson painted the plant life of Africa. She eventually expanded her artistic endeavors to make portraits of people from indigenous cultures in Kenya. After ending her marriage to Bally in 1942, she met a game warden named George Adamson. He became her third husband, and they spent some of their early years together, traveling around East Africa for his job and living in tent camps.
Born Free
In 1956, Adamson's husband shot a lion in self-defense. He discovered that she had only attacked to protect her three cubs. Rescuing the young animals, George brought them home to Joy. They gave two away to a zoo, but they kept one that they named Elsa. Joy developed a close bond with the animal, which she raised. In Born Free (1960), she chronicled her relationship with Elsa and her efforts to return her to the wild. Adamson explained that Elsa "became almost like my child. Because I had no children, I have spent all my emotion on her and my other animals. But I cannot make them my own."
Adamson's book became an international best seller, and its success put the spotlight on the need to preserve African wildlife. She wrote two more books about Elsa and her cubs, Living Free (1961) and Forever Free (1962). In addition to sharing her experiences and observations through writing, Adamson established her own conservation group, the Elsa Wild Animal Appeal.
In 1966, the film adaptation of Born Free became an international smash.

text: Asalumu Alaykum, I have a question on behalf of my sister in law. We live in the US, she has an arranged marriage to her husband, he moved here from Pakistan 5 yrs ago, they have been married for 7 yrs. up until last year they lived with my father and mother in law, with their 2 children. Her husband caused a lot of problem in the family, made fights with my husbands siblings and his parents. One day he pushed my mother in law while she was holding my nephew, a week later he got into a fight about money with my father in law and he pushed him down onto the couch. My father in law attempted to stand up and he pushed him back down and help him down and threatened him. My mother in law called the police because he was acting very irrational and physically hurting my 62 yr old father in law. The police arrested him. He wasn't charged or found guilty of anything because my in laws didn't press charges. Since this incident, my sister in law took her husband side and cut out the whole family. She refuses to speak to anyone of us, her children were raised by us all. Both my sister in law and her husband worked, and my mother in law always had her children, as I did being the oldest daughter. And now we aren't allow to even hug them at the masjid. My husbands Nani Ami passed away last month and she never even acknowledged my mother inlaw, at her own mom's funeral. How can someone watch their mother, bury their mother, and not grieve or feel sad. Our family just wants to have them back in our lives, my husband has tried to call her husband to talk to him, we haven called my sister in law and sent messages. She never answers or returns calls. We have sent gifts for the kids for their birthdays and they return everything. What does Islamic law say when one is torn between parents and husband, where does the loyalty lay? Is there anything I can send her to remind her of her duty to her parents? Our family has missed them so much, my kids are so confused why they can't see their cousins, and why when they see them they won't speak to us, even my sister in law has turned away from my Salam during Ramadan this past year. She refused to hug my 4 yr old daughter. Please help with some words of advise. Thank you.
