The 2012 Wisconsin wolf hunt wrapped up some time ago and, from a quota standpoint, was a success. All 117 animals outside of the ceded territory were taken, and the 85 tags left over for the Indian tribes were intentionally not filled.
With the 2013 wolf season fast approaching, I'd like to take a brief look at what lies ahead.
This years quota has been increased to 275, with 115 wolves allotted to the Chippewa tribes. These quotas were approved by the Natural Resource Board earlier this week.

More on hunting: Hunting headlines | 2012-2013 trophy shots | More hunting photos | Watch a rebroadcast of Deer Camp Live | Registration station map | Hunting blogs
The application deadline for the upcoming season is August 13.
According to DNR estimates, Wisconsin had between 809 and 834 wolves in 214 packs last winter, compared to 815 to 880 in 213 packs in 2012 and the DNR intends to issue ten times as many tags as the quota number.
There you have the numbers which haven't changed much year-over-year.
But after reviewing these numbers, I don't believe they will achieve the DNR's goal of getting the population down to 350 animals. There are a few ways new ways they could approach it.
First, why not increase the quotas to 400 to 450 this year? Last year's harvest total was reached quickly and this number gets them much closer to their goal, much more quickly (and would also increase hunter satisfaction).
Second, the Indian tribes are likely not going to use their 115 tags, leaving a maximum kill of just 160 this year. This would amount to nothing more than a baby step to achieving population goals, and would do nothing more than to just keep the population about where it is now. Therefore, why bother issuing this group any tags?
To almost double the harvest makes sense. A lot more deer would survive, making deer hunters happier. And how much money do you think the state would save by not having to dish out compensation to farmers who own cattle or people who lose pets to wolf predation, instead increasing hunting license sales?
Not everyone is going to agree with me on this, but wolves are not animals that need protection. I'm not saying wipe the wolf off the face of the map, rather I am asking for two things:
1. Let's get the wolf population to the goal of 350 animals.
2. People who oppose the wolf hunt should understand that the population needs to be controlled. Imagine if people who oppose deer hunting had their way? How many deer would there be? How much money would the state lose? How much crop damage money would the state be paying out? And how many deer would die if populations were left unchecked? The same logic applies to wolves. Or at least it should.
So here is hoping that common sense prevails and all 275 wolves are taken this year.

1980 Crompond Road, Cortlandt Manor, NY 10567
Cortlandt Manor, NY - (Dec. 7, 2010) – For most of his life David Ray suffered from chronic sinus infections, pressure and pain, enduring multiple surgeries with no permanent relief.
The 57-year-old South Salem resident said all that changed in July when he underwent a procedure known as balloon sinuplasty that is much less invasive than the traditional surgeries he had had in the past. "It's been very, very successful, much better than I could have even hoped,'' said Ray, a corporate Vice President for New York Life. "I was able to regain my sense of smell and taste for the first time in 15 years."
On Saturday, Dec. 18 from 10 to 11:30 a.m. sinus sufferers can learn more about balloon sinuplasty and other surgical and non-surgical treatments for chronic sinusitis at a free patient seminar Hudson Valley Hospital Center conducted by Dr. Michael Bergstein, an ENT with ENT and Allergy Associates with office in Yorktown and Sleepy Hollow.
"Many people suffer for years with chronic sinus infections and get only temporary relief using topical nasal steroids and antibiotics," said Dr. Bergstein, who has performed the sinuplasty procedure on David Ray and other patients with great success. "There are less invasive surgical options that are very successful, but many people are not aware of them. Patients need to educate themselves on the options, and that's what this free seminar is all about."
Dr. Bergstein is Board-Certified in both Facial Plastic Reconstructive Surgery and Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery.
More than 37 million Americans suffer with the headaches, congestion, fatigue and other symptoms of sinusitis each year. Traditionally patients are treated with medical therapies such as antibiotics and topical nasal steroids, or conventional sinus surgery that requires bone and tissue removal to open blocked passageways. Now there is a less invasive option known as balloon sinuplasty. The procedure involves inserting a small, flexible balloon catheter through a nostril into the blocked sinus passageway where it is inflated to help restore normal sinus drainage.
Another benefit of the surgery is that is can be performed on children. That is not the case with traditional sinus surgery, which is not recommended for children whose bones and facial structures are still forming.
To sign up for the free patient seminar and breakfast on Dec. 18, call 914-734-3557. For more information: balloon sinuplasty.

The Washington Post
— Facebook relaxed its privacy policies for teenagers on its network Wednesday, allowing underage users to share more information with the general public.
Facebook had previously prevented users between ages 13 and 17 from sharing information outside their extended network — their friends or friends of friends. That restriction is now being lifted.
Under the new policy, when teens join the site, they will automatically have stronger privacy protections, and the information they post will be visible only to their friends. But they will also have the flexibility to change those settings and share their posts with a general Internet audience.
In a blog post, Facebook said the changes will give teens more control over what information they share with the public.
But privacy groups said Facebook has failed to address complaints that it hasn't adequately protected its youngest users. Facebook is addressing what teens "choose to share consciously, not the under-the-hood forms of [data] collection that the site enables and [has] increasingly become more sophisticated," said Kathryn Montgomery, a privacy advocate and communications professor at American University.
Facebook did not disclose how many of its more than 1 billion users are teenagers and would fall under the new policy, but the Pew Internet and American Life has estimated that 94 percent of teens who use
Facebook said that allowing teens to share more with the general public brings the site's policies in line with competitors, including Twitter. Teens can already use other platforms to publicly weigh in on current events, the company said. But before the change, celebrity teens, for example, had to create separate fan pages to promote their movies or music to a wide audience.
"Teens are among the savviest people using social media, and whether it comes to civic engagement, activism, or their thoughts on a new movie, they want to be heard," the company said in a blog post announcing the change.
The changes started rolling out Wednesday afternoon. Teens who opt for the looser privacy standards will be asked twice whether they're sure that they want to share their information with Facebook's widest audience. The notifications will also give teens an option to change the individual post's privacy settings.
Stephen Balkam, chief executive of the Family Online Safety Institute and a member of Facebook's safety advisory board, said that the new privacy settings show that Facebook's attitude toward teen privacy has evolved.
It's "a very positive step, and something we've been deliberating on for quite some time," he said.
Still, the changes don't address questions Facebook has faced over the amount of data it collects from teens on its site. Privacy groups recently sent a letter to the
"To parents and teens, Facebook is claiming they are giving them more options to protect their privacy. But in reality, they are making a teen's information more accessible, now that they have the option to post publicly," said Jeff Chester, executive director of the Center for Digital Democracy.
The company has also recently come under criticism for an

text: Good point. Honestly I believe a lot of skills cannot be easily learned just by going through formal education. People skills, organization skills, etc. You can learn them without going to college. And not every subject can be taught effectively in a semester time frame, and definitely not by mostly reading and writing papers. For example, political sci degrees don't breed politicians. In many subjects it's up to the students to figure out how to apply what they learn by seeking internships and experience on their own, and it's just not as effective as, say, learning theories and doing it side by side. For instance, I know speech therapy students who have to do lab work every week with kids after classroom training. Of course I'm tossing this out as a theory too; in real life, too many obstacles stand in the way of having "labs" offered in some subjects.

On a snowy evening in the early 1900s, a newspaper editor at the New York World was hunched over his desk trying to think of something special for the Christmas issue.
Remembering the small word squares he'd solved as a young Brit in Liverpool, he drew a diamond-shaped grid with numbered squares and numbered clues. It contained 32 words, and his simple instruction read: "Fill in the small squares with words which agree with the following definitions."
The puzzle appeared Dec. 21, 1913, and what 42-year-old Arthur Wynne had created was the first crossword puzzle.
It was an instant success. Mail poured in. Readers didn't mind that the first puzzle contained some very unusual words, such as NEIF, TANE, NEVA and NARD. Or that the word DOVE appeared twice, once clued as"a bird" and once as "a pigeon." Or that the most unusual word was DOH, defined as "the fibre of the gomuti palm," a clue that, if it appeared today, would elicit much the same reaction from solvers as it would from Homer Simpson.
Seeing the crossword's popularity, Wynne pushed for the newspaper to copyright it, but his bosses, who included two of Joseph Pulitzer's sons, considered the crossword a passing trifle. New York Times editorials labeled them a waste of time.
After just a few years, Wynne's interest waned. He still made crosswords, but he also accepted reader submissions, becoming the country's first crossword editor as well. By 1921, after eight years as captain of the crossword, Wynne handed the wheel to someone else.
That someone was a Smith grad named Margaret Petherbridge, a World secretary who had hopes of being a journalist. Like almost everyone on the staff, she was utterly uninterested in the crossword and simply picked the ones that had interesting shapes. She never tried solving one.

I'm still thinking about willpower from my last article, and while it's true that 'stick-to-it-iveness' (as my Grandma used to call it) is an important skill, it also really helps to know when to bail. Oddly, even though the desire to give up comes pretty naturally, deciding when you should actually do it doesn't seem to. Watching the things that have made me and the people I care about unhappy in our lives over the years, I feel like learning how and when to walk away can't be overrated. Continue reading…

Fly, Darna, Fly!
Last February, Todd Stadtman and Tars Tarkas invited me on the Infernal Brains podcast to discuss space ladies with them. We covered a lot of films, but I didn't get to one film Todd suggested we watch, Darna Vs. The Planet Women (1975). I finally did recently and he was so right—Darna Vs. The Planet Women was a movie I needed to see. Since then, I've watched Darna And The Giants (1973) and Darna At Ding/Darna And Ding (1980). And these movies bring together so many fine things: a costumed comic book superhero, space ladies, supernatural creatures, black magic robots, disco fabulousness and the sassiness of Vilma Santos' Darna.

A Halting Fire
In the season one finale of AMC's new series Halt and Catch Fire, the builders of the Cardiff Electric portable Giant computer gather around a conference table to read an unenthusiastically positive review of their new product. It is an unwitting apt reflection of my reaction to the show in general. What was touted, or at least what was expected to be, 1980s Mad Men with Computers ended up being just good enough to get me through the season relatively satisfied, but it never really clicks. It's primary problem for me is the same problem I have with a number of shows: it is unwilling to commit to any emotion beyond reserved grimness.
Nothing good can ever happen to the sad sack quartet of Joe McMillan (Lee Pace), Cameron Howe (Mackenzie Davis), Gordon Clark (Scoot McNairy), or Donna Clark (Kerry Bishe). Every minor victory, every shred of happiness these four might attain in their quest to build a portable clone of an IBM computer in the wild, early days of microcomputing, must be countered by a sledgehammer negative consequence. Every tiny victory must be followed the very next scene by a mental breakdown, a betrayal, a professional disaster, or even just a bloody kitchen accident. It soars past Shakespeare into the territory of pure Greek tragedy as each Sunday night, vengeful gods strive to grind these four people into oblivion, and along with them, the viewers.

Stories Are Important
This week SF/F Editor Emeritus James Schellenberg returns as a Guest Star!
Stories are important, we all know this. I hasten to add: and they should be fun too, otherwise why bother reading them? Every once in a while, I run across a new author that balances "something to say" and "have fun saying it" in a way that really appeals to me. This year, that author has been Carrie Vaughn.

Three articles on the end of "gamer" as an identity, on the end of gatekeeping and the end of gaming culture: Leigh Alexander at Gamasutra; Dr. Nerdlove; and Dan Golding. "And the sad thing is: nobody's trying to destroy games."
The Gutter's own Keith writes about The Gangs of Wasseypur for Teleport City. "But more than that, Gangs of Wasseypur isn't a potential Bollywood cross-over hit because it isn't a Bollywood film. If anything, it is the antithesis of a Bollywood movie….Gangs of Wasseypur dwells in the spaces Bollywood does not want to show. The mines, the scrap yards, the slums, perhaps most fittingly an abattoir streaked with grime and blood and offal (not all of it from slaughtered animals). Rather than being a slick fantasy world, Wasseypur takes place in a world that screams, 'No one gets out of here alive.'"
And The Times of India writes about the real life gangs of Wasseypur here.

A gallery of Medieval European beasts and creatures who can't even.
At Badass Digest, Gaming Editor Andrew Todd writes about "rampant issues with sexism, homophobia, and racism within the gaming industry."
Jenn Frank writes about horror, games, "Tropes vs Women In Video Games" and "consuming media responsibly": "I think what I'm getting at is, especially with the horror genre, it's less important what a movie says and more important that you, the viewer, understand why you're enjoying it. I believe in judicious self-awareness; a director like Nicolas Winding Refn knows exactly why he makes the directorial choices he makes, and he works those kinks right out onscreen.
Or, if you aren't enjoying a piece of work—if ultraviolence isn't your thing, or if you're suffering a visceral reaction—it's every bit as important that you identify what about the piece is making you uncomfortable."

Sunday, two teen-age Steubenville, Ohio, football players were convicted of sexually assaulting a 16-year-old girl at a high school party.
Starting from the night of the assault last August, their rape case was one of the most widely publicized in American history — largely because the assailants and their witnesses whipped out their cellphones to document the event in real time.
In sentencing the boys to a minimum of one year in juvenile jail, Judge Thomas Lipps doled out some advice to their peers on how to avoid the same fate. He urged them "to have discussions about how you talk to your friends; how you record things on the social media so prevalent today; and how you conduct yourself when drinking is put upon you by your friends."
That's an unfortunate message to leave the teen-agers of Steubenville, and the world that is watching. The "social media so prevalent today" did not cause a sexual assault in a small Ohio town. In fact, social media is what made the case prosecutable.
Following the events of the party, news of the assault spread through the community — and later, the media — in a web of incriminating text messages, self-referential tweets, Instagrammed photos and forwarded cellphone videos. The victim herself testified that she could only confirm she had been assaulted after she "read text messages among friends and saw a photo of herself naked, along with a video that made fun of her and the alleged attack."
Thanks to social media, this wasn't another case of "he said, she said." It was a case of "they all said." As the victim's mother told the boys, "you were your own accuser, through the social media that you chose to publish your criminal conduct on."

CHICAGO -- It wasn't quite as exciting as last year for Mike Williams, but the Pirates closer has no complaints.
In 2002, Williams tossed a perfect inning in back of Curt Schilling in his first All-Star appearance. The 34-year-old brought something to tell his future grandchildren back to Pittsburgh by striking out Alfonso Soriano and Derek Jeter.
This time around, Williams was merely a spectator in a uniform watching some of the other National League closers give up a 6-3 lead Tuesday night as the American League came from behind to win the Midsummer Classic, 7-6, at U.S. Cellular Field.
Heading into the game, Williams wasn't told one way or the other about whether he'd pitch, other than to "be ready." The fact the alert status never got higher than that didn't faze the man who is tied for third in the National League in saves with 25.
"It was a lot of fun and a good experience," Williams said. "It was a really good game. You couldn't have asked for anything better."
Except for maybe the outcome. Most thought that if the National League could take a lead into the later innings, their three-headed monster of Houston's Billy Wagner, Los Angeles' Eric Gagne and Atlanta's John Smoltz would easily put it away. But Wagner gave up a solo shot to New York's Jason Giambi and Gagne gave up three runs, including the game-winning home run off the bat of Texas' Hank Blalock.
"That's part of the game," Williams said. "[Gagne's] been nails all year, and he'll continue to do so in the second half."
Williams' name had been brought up by national media since his selection as the Pirates' lone representative as a questionable All-Star. Some suggested that with his 6.44 ERA in the first half, Williams provided Exhibit A as to why not every team should have a player in the Midsummer Classic. Williams himself was surprised by the choice, but knew his manager, Lloyd McClendon, gave him a good scouting report to NL skipper Dusty Baker.
"Mac's always been on my side," Williams said. "My personal stats aren't great, but I've done my job as far as the saves department. I think everybody should be represented."

Chateau Frontenac and Queen Mary 2, Quebec City. Cruise ships dock at piers 19, 21 or 22 of the Vieux Port served by the modern Pointe-à-Carcy cruise terminal. Vieux Quebec (or old Quebec) is adjacent to the cruise port.
In the 18th century Place-Royale was at the center of New France's thriving commercial community. The square served as a marketplace, but had a second purpose holding public executions and floggings. Facing onto the square stand the historic Notres Dammes des Victoires church built in 1688, and the Fornel house built in 1723. Place-Royale is at the heart of Basse-Ville (Lower Town), a short walk from the cruise port.
Maison Chevalier
Maison Chevalier (Chevalier House) is an historic house and museum giving fascinating insights into Quebec's rich history. The house was originally built by the French ship owner and merchant Jean-Baptiste Chevalier in 1752. View the carefully restored rooms complete with wood beams, stone fireplaces and period furniture. Maison Chevalier is located down Rue du Cul-de-Sac from Place Royale. Not open on Mondays.
The easiest way to reach Haute-Ville (Upper Town) from Basse-Ville (Lower Town) is via the convenient Funiculaire railway. The lower station of the railway, the Maison Louis Jolliet was home in the 17th century to the explorer Jacques Marquettes. The upper station deposits you on famous Terrasse Dufferin in front of the iconic Château Frontenac. The more energetic can alternatively make the ascent by L'Éscalier du Casse-Cou (Stairs of the Broken Neck).
Terrasse Dufferin
Stroll along Terrasse Dufferin to enjoy magnificent views across the old city and the wide St Lawrence seaway. Next to the Terrasse stands the splendid Château Frontenac (now a hotel) – pop in for a classy cup of coffee. You can continue from the Terrasse to the Promenade des Gouverneurs, which climbs up a set of steps alongside Quebec's military Citadelle.
Musée des Ursulines
The Musée des Ursulines (Ursulines Museum) presents the history of the Ursuline nuns in Quebec, who arrived in New France in 1639. Find out about the life of the nuns who worked to spread their religious beliefs, and to provide education for girls. The museum is a short distance from Terrasse Dufferin.

Botulinum toxin is made from a type of bacteria. It is toxic to the nerves. Another name for it is bacterial neurotoxin. An injection puts this toxin into muscle. There, it blocks the chemical signal from the nerves to muscles. This will decrease the muscle contraction (tightening).
There are several types and brands of this toxin. Examples include Botox, Dysport, and Reloxin, which are formulations of botulinum toxin type A. Myobloc is another brand, but it is a formulation of botulinum toxin type B. These products are used for cosmetic and medical reasons.
This injection process is often called
botox injection
, although any brand of the botulinum toxin may be used.
Copyright © Nucleus Medical Media, Inc.
This is most commonly used as a treatment to smooth wrinkles on the face and neck. It is FDA-approved for the treatment of frown lines between the brows and the treatment of wrinkles at the outer corner of the eyes (crow's feet).
Complications are rare. When they occur, they are temporary and mild. Side effects are related to the site of injection. For example, if injections take place near the eyes, there may be complications with eyelids or the brow line.
FDA Public Health Advisory for Botulinum Toxin
There is a risk that the botulinum toxin could spread beyond the injection area. This can cause botulism symptoms, including difficulty breathing and death. These symptoms appear to be more common in children with
cerebral palsy
who receive the injection to treat spasticity. The warning is for
, Botox Cosmetic,
, and Dysport. For more information, please visit:
The toxin can also interact with medicines, such as antibiotics. Tell your doctor about all of the medicines that you are taking.
Most often, none is given. Some patients may prefer to have the area numbed for comfort. In this case, a topical anesthetic may be used.
A thin needle will be used. The doctor will inject the toxin through the skin into the targeted muscle. You will often need several injections in a small area.
The length will depend on the number of sites involved. It is often less than 20 minutes.
You may have some minimal discomfort.
Normal activities may be resumed after the procedure. For the best recovery, follow your doctor's
The toxin temporarily weakens targeted muscles. The treatment lasts up to four months. With repeated use, the effects may last longer.
In case of an emergency, call for medical help right away.

A crop of American cockroaches brings in serious cash.
The Ohio Senate passed a bill that could make it more difficult for minor party candidates to get their names on future ballots.
Senate Bill 193 passed Wednesday. The bill makes it difficult for politicians like Perrysburg City Councilman Todd Grayson, a Libertarian, to identify by their party on a county or state ballot.
"I'd be stuck," Grayson said. "As of right now, I wouldn't be allowed to do it unless we go out and gather all these signatures as a party, and that becomes very time consuming, and also very expensive to do, because you either have to do it yourself, or pay someone to do it."
The Senate passed the bill, and now it will goes to the House. If passed, third-party candidates will have to gather about 56,000 signatures to be able to identify themselves as one, or would have to meet 3 percent of votes within a governor's race.
"It should be simple to create a political party. That's just my fundamental belief," Grayson said. "First Amendment, say what party you're from, that's what your belief is. You should be able to express that at the ballot box, assuming you've got the appropriate signatures to run for office."
Grayson says he doesn't see the purpose of the threshold, and doesn't see the harm of having a candidate label themselves as what he or she sees fit. If passed, he would like the measure to stay on hold until 2015, so the Libertarian candidate for the governor's race would have time to adjust.
"To have his time to run, to meet that gubernatorial threshold, which is an alternative to gathering all the signatures, and to allow time for us to adjust and plan, and save funds and get a real plan together if we need to gather signatures," he said.

Rabbits eating the Peas
I haven't seen this posted before, but could have been and I missed it. I am having a serious problem with rabbits eating up my pea vines. When you look at the peas, 4 FULL ROWS, it looks like someone has stuck up match sticks in the rows, no leaves just stems. As soon as a new leaf gets half as big as a dime, it gets eaten again. Anyone had, and corrected, this problem before short of having a rabbit shooting? Pete
Have'nt had much problems with the rabbits that much, don't seem to eat a lot of my garden. My problem is the deer. They seem to like my pepper plants. They keep eating the top half off of the plant, wife say's to leave them alone as we have more than enough to share. I'm thinking "Vension Sausage"
Mike Duncan
Hey Mike maybe you could send a little venison, although I have problems with deer too, and I could send you some rabbbit meat, then if we could get Merlin or Billy Fussell to send us a receipe for that good Cajun jambalaya, we'd be all set to go . Pete
Sounds like a plan. I still have about 20 lbs of venison in the freezer I think? Of course I didn't get it myself, we allow some folks to hunt on our farmland and they repay us with free meat. I haven't hunted for years, but I'm thinking about getting back into it. In the evenings, the deer come into my driveway from the field across the road, then go into the tree line of my property, follow it out into the field behind my barn and help themselves to my garden. Hunting them would be a shame, as it would just be too easy.
Mike Duncan
Between groundhogs, deer and rabbits - there isn't much left for humans. The cucumber and squash plants aren't surviving the feeding frenzy. The tomato plants are getting a hard pruning now that the tastier stuff is gone, hard to tell how long they'll survive. The deer are also eating the buds and blossoms off my daylillies, clipping the roses and I'm guessing all the hybiscuses (I guess that's plural for hybiscus) will be nothing but tall sticks in a few weeks. And to think I was focusing all my attention on squirrels.

Hey LC, I know what you mean as I have problems with the squirrels also. They dearly love the silver queen corn and when it's ready, the pine trees look like overgrown corn stalks what with so many corn shucks and silks hanging from the branches . My biggest problems are deer, rabbits, squirrels, and raccoons, mostly in that order. Oh well, can't win all the time I guess. Pete
The deer seem to like my wife's hosta's as well. My garden seems to survive the small critters, but then again I CHEAT! I went to raised bed gardening a few years ago and don't regret it at all. Hardly any weeding to do, which saves my back, and I don't own a tiller anymore as I no longer need it. Watering is a breeze too. My beds are 3-4' wide and 16' long. I have soaker hoses buried in each bed about 4" below the surface, just attach them to the hose and let it soak for 20-30 minutes every other day or so. I think the raised beds also repel some of the small critters too, may they don't want to jump/climb up the 12-14" to get into the beds?
Mike Duncan
Pete, at first I used standard 2X12's the first year. I only built two as I still wanted to experiment with it. I also had the "Normal" garden next to it. After the 1st 2 seasons, I went 100% raised beds, and haven't looked back.
I now have them built out of landscape timbers, not railroad ties. I use the square/oblong shaped timbers that you might also see used for fence posts?
I built them in a "Log Cabin" fashion by overlaping the timbers. I then used the special "Landscape Timber Screws" to hold them in place, and then I drilled 1/2" holes using a bit extension every so often and drove 2' long 1/2" re-barb thru those holes thru the timbers and into the ground. I have 2 rods at each end of each bed, then there are 5-6 of them along each side, I think? The beds vary in width of 3-4' but they are 16' long. Height is roughly 12-14" high as I used 4-5 layers of the timbers.
Prior to securing the bebs to the ground, I layed 2 layers of the weed barrier under them. The soil here is hard clay, so I go to a local place that sells mulch and such, and they offer what they call a "Garden Soil Mix". It is pretty much good soil, sand and compost mixed in thirds.
There was some work to put it all together, get the soil, etc. BUT it was WORTH IT! I now grow everything I used to grow the standard way including corn, potatoes, carrots, etc.
The best thing is that by using the raised beds, the soil doesn't get compacted. I can take my hand and dig into the bed and scoop out the dirt easily, it so easy to work. I pull out all my plants & stalks at the end of the year, and mix in some fresh compost and turn the soil using a pitch fork. It also takes less watering, the soil is also warmer in the early spring and late fall due to it being elevated, so you can plant earlier in the Spring as well as put things in later in the year as well.
Did I also mention that there are less WEEDS to deal with? This allows me to plant my items very close to each other. I stagger my corn in a "Z" fashion in the beds as well as my tomatoes/peppers. Another good thing about the beds is that I have attached posts to the sides of my beds using deck screws, and I then built stringers across the bed for my vining plants to grow on. Never liked the wire cage things for staking plants and such.
Mike Duncan
Mike - you mentioned using landscape timbers, I hope they aren't pressure treated. The preservatives leach into the surrounding soil which your plants will accumulate. Wood preservatives are not the kind of chemicals you want to eat.
Here's a nugget of knowledge - the evil scourge known as ragweed is an excellent bio-accumulators of metals from soil. But the "crop" needs to be harvested and disposed of as hazardous waste, roots and all, to prevent returning the metals to the soil.

Nope, just standard cedar, should have mentioned that in my post as I figured most folks would know not to use the PT lumber.

The versatility of the walk-around layout makes it by far my favorite design. The flexibility afforded by 360-degrees of access make a great boat for kite fishing, for drifting a piece of bottom and jigging and deep dropping, or for trolling; especially for catching multiples of sailfish and tuna.
Traditionally walk-around boats are seldom over 35 feet and consequently drawbacks to the design have been the lack of interior space and seating on the helm deck. Release Boatworks has addressed this and put a great deal of effort into the design, layout, materials and construction of the 46.
The Release 46 has the look of a classic custom boat. With ample tumblehome at the transom, an unbroken shear, the blend of teak, paint and brightwork denote a custom build. This is a composite boat with vinylester resin-infused hull with a blend of multi-directional fabrics including a 1 ½-inch Corecell core in the bottom and, 1 inch in the sides, Kevlar below the waterline, and carbon fiber in the stringer system for additional stiffness.
A pair of Cummins QSM-11 715HP diesels with Zeus drives provides the agility to tackle any of the line class records. With the right crew and angler, the Release 46 could re-write the record book. Conventional drives are an option, but the pod drives offer a bit of an advantage in speed and maneuverability. Make no mistake: Pods make a poor boat handler better in close quarters, but they also give a good driver an incredible tool to fight fish.
The forward positioned helm on the 46 offers excellent visibility when accelerating, which can't be said for all express boats. I did not mind the forward helm for fishing either, although I would probably run the boat from the tower where I could see my corners and crew.
We had a great day for our test, with less than 10 knots of easterly breeze and the 46 hull performed as asked. She slips along comfortably and with little effort at 2000 rpm offering 29 knots and burning a bit over 42 gph. Push her up to 2300 rpm and she'll give you 34 ½ knots, burning a bit over 66 gph. At wide open she's rips along at 37 1/2 knots burning 76.9 gph. I locked in at the 1800- to 1900-rpm range so I could keep her under 40 gph and make between 25 to 28 knots, as I would on day trips.

Smokers who quit by around age 40 can stave off an early death, according to a landmark study that fills key gaps in knowledge of smoking-related health ills.
While smokers who never stop lose about a decade of life expectancy, those who quit between ages 35 and 44 gained back nine of those years, the study found.
Moreover, the benefits of dropping the habit extend deep into middle age. Smokers who quit between 45 and 54 gained back six otherwise lost years, and those who quit between 55 and 64 gained four years.
Quitting young, before age 35, erased the entire decade of lost life expectancy.
The message: It's never too late to quit, even for heavy smokers with decades of puffing behind them.
But younger smokers should not be lulled into thinking they can smoke until 40 and then stop without consequences, said Prabhat Jha, an epidemiologist at the Center for Global Health Research in Toronto. Jha led the new study, published online Wednesday in the New England Journal of Medicine.
That's because the risks of lung cancer and other respiratory diseases linger for years after stubbing the last butt.
Most of the gains in life expectancy come because the twin risks of heart disease and stroke quickly drop after smoking ends. Both diseases occur as the byproducts of tobacco smoke trigger clotting in the arteries, a process that can rapidly reverse.
Damage to the lungs, meanwhile, takes longer to heal. "The risk for lung cancer doesn't disappear and the risk of respiratory disease doesn't disappear" in former smokers, said Jha. "But the acute risk for heart attack or stroke pretty much disappears."
While the study delivered some good news for quitters, it also hammered home the message that continuing to smoke carries grave risks.
Current smokers in the study died early at a rate triple that of people who never smoked. And few smokers reached age 80. Just 38 percent of female smokers and 26 percent of male smokers hit that milestone, while 70 percent of women who never smoked and 61 percent of men who never smoked did.

About Audi Fox
The Audi Fox (not to be confused with the Volkswagen Fox) is the name given to the North American models of the B1 generation Audi 80, sold here for the 1973 through 1979 model years (although this generation of 80 was sold in Europe from 72-78). The Fox is either a two door or four door sedan, has a 4 cylinder engine, and is front wheel drive. The Fox had MacPherson strut front suspension, and a C-section beam axle with trailing arms and Panhard rod in the rear. Originally the engine displacement was 1.5L and it produced 55 horsepower; later versions came equipped with an 83 horsepower 1.6L engine. There was also a styling refresh midway through the production of the Fox (referred to as a facelift in the automotive industry) at the same time the new engine came around, which modernized the look of the front end of the car most notably changing over to square headlights to more closely resemble the newly introduced Audi 100. The Audi Fox provided a level of economy with its small size and fuel sipping 4 cylinder, and was a good alternative for some to the American cars available at that time. The Audi Fox is also related to the popular Volkswagen Dasher, which was not much more than a restyled and rebadged hatchback version of the Fox.
