Ghee RecipeIngredients1 lb. unsalted organic butterMethodMelt the butter in a large 3-quart stock pot with tall sides, over medium heat until it comes to a slow gentle boil. Reduce the heat to low, and allow the butter to cook slowly and gently until it turns golden in color, and the liquid is clear. The key to perfect ghee is to keep a careful eye on the butter, making sure it does not burn. The ghee is done when you can see through the melted butter to the bottom of the pan. (As the ghee cooks, carefully push the milk solids that foam at the top, to the side of the pot., checking to see when the ghee becomes clear.)Allow the ghee to cool slightly in the pan. Pour the golden liquid through a cheesecloth into a clear clean glass jar, with a tight lid.Ghee does not need to be refrigerated. It will keep for two to three months. Store in a cool dark space.Red Lentil DalIngredients1 cup red lentils, rinsed1 tsp. turmeric2 tsp. coriander1 tsp. salt2 bay leaves3-4 cups of waterTarka1T ghee1 tsp. cumin seeds2 cloves garlic chopped1-2" piece of ginger choppedPinch of hing (asafetida)1 tsp. sesame seeds.MethodBring the water and red lentils to a boil in a medium size sauce pan. Add the turmeric, coriander, salt and bay leaves. Cook covered until the dal is soft. Turn off the heat and let stand for a couple of minutes while you make the Tarka. Remove the bay leaf, and discard. In a small sauté pan, heat the oil over medium heat. Roast the ghee, add the cumin seeds, when they begin to crackle, add the garlic and the ginger, and cook until golden brown. Add the hing and the sesame seeds.Pour the Tarka in to the dal, Stir to combine. With the back of a wooden spoon, mash a portion of the dal, and stir to combine. If the dal is too thick, add boiling water to reach the desired consistency. Dal should not be thick. In Southern India it is served quite soupy. Aromatic Basmati RiceIngredients1 cup white basmati rice1 ¾ - 2 cups water1 tbs. ghee1 tsp. cumin seed5 cardamom pods, slit at the ends6-8 peppercorns, to taste1 tsp. black mustards seeds1/4-1/2 tsp. mineral saltMethodRinse the rice in cool water. Set aside.In a medium sauce pan over medium high heat, melt the ghee. Add the cumin seeds, cardamom pods, and mustard seeds; cook until they begin to pop, being careful not to burn them. Add the rice and stir to coat with the spices. Add the water and the salt, bring to a small boil, cover partially and cook for 5 minutes.Cover all the way, turn the heat down to a very low simmer and cook for an additional 15 minutes.Turn off the heat, allow to sit for 5 minutes with the lid on, then fluff with a fork.* liquid whey can be substituted for the water, substitute half of the water for whey.Usha's Sesame ChutneyIngredients1 cup Sesame seeds1 tsp. cayenne½ tsp. mineral salt.MethodRoast the sesame seeds in a pan until they just begin to turn golden. Pay careful attention that they do not burn. Allow the seeds to cool. Grind the seeds with the cayenne and the salt, in a food processor or by hand with a mortar and pistil.

Stroke is a brain injury that occurs when the brain's blood supply is interrupted. Without oxygen and nutrients from blood, brain tissue starts to die within minutes. Tissue loss in the brain causes a sudden loss of function. Another term for stroke is cerebrovascular accident (CVA).
Like a heart attack, the early emergency treatment is given the better the recovery. Acute treatment is beginning to positive results if done within 4½ to 6 hours of the start of stroke.
The types of stroke include:
Ischemic Stroke
An ischemic stroke most often occurs when blood flow to the brain becomes blocked.
One of the following events may cause this blockage:
- The most common cause is a build-up of fatty substances along an artery's inner lining that causes it to narrow, reduces its elasticity, and decreases its blood flow.
- A clot forms in an artery supplying the brain, usually one affected by atherosclerosis . This clot is called a thrombus.
- Blockage can also be caused by a blood clot from another part of the body (often the heart) that breaks free. The clot travels to and becomes lodged in an artery supplying the brain. This clot is called an embolus, and the process is called embolism.
Hemorrhagic Stroke
A stroke may also occur if a blood vessel breaks and bleeds into or around the brain. Hemorrhagic stroke is most common in young people. The leading causes of this type of stroke are:
Aneurysms predispose you to hemorrhagic stroke. An aneurysm is a weak spot in an artery that balloons out under pressure and can rupture, causing bleeding into the brain.
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, stroke has affected 6.2 million Americans. Along with heart disease and cancer, stroke is one of the leading causes of death. Ischemic type occurs more often—in about 87% of the cases—compared to hemorrhagic.What are the risk factors for stroke?What are the symptoms of stroke?How is stroke diagnosed?What are the treatments for stroke?Are there screening tests for stroke?How can I reduce my risk of stroke?What questions should I ask my doctor?What is it like to live with stroke?Where can I get more information about stroke?

2012 Spring Garden - ******Updated******
Here is some pictures of my garden this year.
I planted an area twice the size of last years. It is approxiamately 100 feet by 200 feet.
I planted 12 rows of zipper peas, 4 rows of cream 12 peas, 6 rows of corn, 2 rows of okra, 1 row of squash and cucumbers, and 1 row of watermelons and cantaloupes.
I have already plowed the corn 2 times and the peas 1 time.
My new to me cultivators,side dresser and 186 planter seems to be doing a good job. I have as good of a stand as I have ever had. We have been getting rain showers on a regular basis and that has also helped.
Now if I could learn how to plant it straight I would be happy. I just have too many things to watch at one time(seed,fertilizer and where I am going).

Mr. Bill,
If my rows were longer, I think they would look just like that. They tend to have a curve in them.

Re: 2012 Spring Garden
We have had an unusually warm spring here in Mo., more like early summer than spring. I planted a good bit of my garden 3 or 4 weeks earlier than normal. We are having a cold snap right now, no frost yet, but the frost may get a lot of it, or at the least set it back some, just have to wait and see. Normally in this area you do not get gardens planted till first part of May.

Energy seems to emerge from these uniquely abstract dangle earrings. Diamond-shaped tiger eye cabochons emit a warm glow, while a zigzag design of textured sterling silver and raised highly polished copper sways below. Reminiscent of the rugged southwest desert terrain, the earrings measure 2" long x 3/8" at the widest point and they have a post and clutch closure. Made in America with gemstones from around the world.
Like all fine jewelry, Carolyn Pollack Sterling Silver Jewelry should be handled carefully. Store jewelry in a plastic bag, dry and wrapped in tissue paper, when not being worn or displayed. Clean sterling silver with a silver polishing cloth when necessary, but never subject to chlorine, silver dips, chemical solutions or ultrasonic cleaners, as these substances can cause the genuine gemstones to discolor. Never wear jewelry in a swimming pool.

Mendelssohn was a true Renaissance man. A talented visual artist, he was a refined connoisseur of literature and philosophy. While Mendelssohn's name rarely arises in discussions of the nineteenth century vanguard, the intrinsic importance of his music is undeniable. A distinct personality emerges at once in its exceptional formal sophistication, its singular melodic sense, and its colorful, masterful deployment of the instrumental forces at hand. A true apotheosis of life, Mendelssohn's music absolutely overflows with energy, ebullience, drama, and invention, as evidenced in his most enduring works: the incidental music to A Midsummer Night's Dream (1826-1842); the Hebrides Overture (1830); the Songs Without Words (1830-1845); the Symphonies No. 3 (1841-1842) and No. 4 (1833); and the Violin Concerto in E minor (1844). While the sunny disposition of so many of Mendelssohn's works has led some to view the composer as possessing great talent but little depth, his religious compositions -- particularly the great oratorios Paulus (1836) and Elijah (1846) -- reflect the complexity and deeply spiritual basis of his personality.

A- 1" tan head on a pretty clear orange/amber body.
S- Hops upfront with sweet malts following right behind, fruits like orange and grapefruit are blended with a grassy aroma.
T- Strong orange peel with grass hops comes through first. Sweet malt soon follows covered by a strong bittering and covering of tongue from orange peel. Slight grass notes come through in aftertaste along. Just a touch of alcohol comes through on back of throat also.
M- Full body with low carbonation.
D- It's a solid DIPA with a lot of orange and grass notes to it just nothing really to separate it from the crowd.

Glad to get a fresh bottle.Poured into an imperial nonic a brilliant burtn orange with a large sticky white crown that settled slowly leaving broken globs of lace behind.Big fruity hop,overripe pineapple,grapefruit,and tangerine aromas abound overtop of a healthy caramel malt base,no alcohol really detected.Citric fruit flavor with not a real bitter edge to the hop profile,not as sweet as way to many of the style are, although there is a caramel sweetness to it,the alcohol stays pretty well hidden for the style but is noticeable.Big and fruity with not really any stinging alcohol,Deschutes kicks ass.

A: A nice clear amber complexion with slight tints of orange and red. Off-white or ivory head that retains very well.
S: More going on here than I initially thought. Fruity aromas range from apricot, orange/tangerine, lemon, and even a slight hint of grapefruit when you give it a real wiff. There is also a nicely balance touch of hops that resonates through the fruity aromas and makes you clearly aware that your drinking a hoppy beer, but more of a friendly reminder than a slap to the smeller. Also the alcohol plays well in the overall aroma (another pleasant reminder of the fun to come).
T: A very well balanced mix of husky hops, fruity sweetness, solid malt, alcohol and even a slight slight bit of smokiness towards the end. The hops blend so well with the fruit signatures (the same of which are present in the smell) that you instantly forget your putting back 95 IBU's, but as you go through the several stages of flavors you end up right back with a refreshing hoppy taste. So don't worry about taking your eye off the ball. The alcohol also accompanies the hops very well.
M: To be honest it really surprises me how this beer is able to hold such a medium bodied feel when looking at it on paper. The carbonation that remains very well intact keeps the beer balanced through and through, even when it opens up. This pleasant mid-body allows one to really enjoy the great balance of the hoppy bitterness, fruit and malt taste.
D: The first time I had this beer was off tap and man oh man did I love it. But now that I have sat down at home and had it out of the bottle at my own leisure I have to say it surpassed what I remembered from before. This is a great great example of what Deschutes has to offer. But more than that this beer can break down a lot of doors for tentative drinkers who have misconceptions of what higher IBU beers can be about. Its balance will find a wide variety of fans in my opinion, and if you can snag one definitely try it!
Sorry this is long, but I really liked this one...

Review from Beeradvocate Magazine March 07.
Hop Henge IPA's big brother, "Imperial," has been released from its shackles. Centennial, Cascade and Northern Brewer hops are the catalysts for a bitter onslaught. A rating of 95 IBUs is the result of about three pounds of hops per barrel (31 gallons).
Chestnut in color with good clarity and small bubbles in advance. Full-looking head drops a sticking trim on the glass and has commendable retention. Deep herbal, spearmint, blond tobacco and citric-accented aroma from the hops. Creamy, semi-smooth mouthfeel with a dense medium body. Tangerine fruitiness moves on to a citric rind flavor, and the full-on hop bitterness sets in. The 8.1 percent ABV is a bit hidden but warms up the mouth after several sips. Bready, dry malt backbone holds strong even though a ceaseless bitterness barrels over it. Finishes with a dry, herbal character.
Deschutes really knows how to throw down. They may as well stop playing around and make this a year-round brew. Let's go the meat-and-potatoes route for this one; a pot of Hell's Fire Stew is fitting.

Looks like an IPA, bordering on amber color, nice off white head.
Heavy pine and citrus with some whiffs of cerealy malt on the nose.
Pretty good, definitely a mouthful of flavor. Would be a nice compliment/combatant for some stinky blue cheese.
A little heavy on the tongue, with a bite of boozey aftertaste. Despite that, I hadn't noticed the ABV on the bottle, and was really surprised it was so high when I saw 10.6% here, so that says something. Actually I think I'm starting to believe it.
I'd drink it again with some potent cheese, but one glass is enough.

About four months past the "best by" date. Let's see how this goes.
A - Pours a beautiful clear red-tinted brown with one and a half fingers of head, which leave a nice trail of sticky lacing.
S - Lots of hops, mostly citrus, but some florals as well, and what seems to be a bit of spearmint. Interesting and quite nice aroma. Also quite a bit of biscuit malts.
T - Despite being four months past best by date, this still has a healthy hop presence in the taste, again lots of citrus with some florals mixed in. Also has some sweetness up front. Finishes quite bitter, again with a faint taste of mint.
M - Very creamy mouthfeel. Well balanced hops and malt, finishes dry. Alcohol is barely noticeable.
O - Would love to try a fresh bottle, but even well past the best by date I really enjoyed this one.

22oz brown bomber with no freshness date.
So they tweaked the hops on this years version, I am glad they were able to brew it again. Pours a dark orange amber color with a healthy crowning of off white lace. Smells of blood oranges, hemp seeds, papaya and faint evergreen which comes mostly from the hops. Clean bite in the breath of bitter hops and slightly, but very clean, solvent alcohol. Smooth with a deep creamy malt body. Hop bitterness pops but leave a few spots for the malt to come through. Slight caramel and toasted biscuit maltiness pairs well with the fruity esters. Clean warming alcohol throughout. Finishes hoppy and quite bitter but nothing that destroys the taste buds.
Spot on for the style, what ever they tweaked it still stands comparable to the previous version. Love the beer ... make it year round please.

I'm a bit prejudice over this IPA not only because I'm a sucker for Imperials, but because this particular IPA has and incredible not too sweet floral hop flavor that finishes a bit bitter not like some IPA's giving you reason to have more and more.
It's a must to pour between a half and a one inch head to give you that creamy aroma as well as the taste in you mouth on that first mouthful. Don't be bashful when pouring into a tulip or snifter glass to get that head built up.
The appearance is golden and and as you drink their is a layer of foam and bubbles left around your glass if clean.
There is only one other Imperial that I can personally compare to this beer and that would be the Firestone Walker Double Jack and it actually finishes in your mouth giving you that feeling of wanting more right away. So why wait.

Chairman Smith, Ranking Member Bass, and Members of the Subcommittee, thank you for inviting me to testify on the response of the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) to the Ebola outbreak in Africa. Thank you also for your support for USAID's humanitarian and development programs, in particular our global health work.
The ongoing Ebola outbreak in West Africa is the largest and most-protracted ever recorded and it shows no signs of waning as the affected countries have been unable to control the outbreak on their own. Since December 2013, Guinea, Liberia, Nigeria, and Sierra Leone have reported more than 1,600 confirmed cases. New cases continue to be recorded indicating that the outbreak – which has an overall fatality rate of 55%– has not been contained. I am truly saddened to see the devastation and loss of life caused by the outbreak, and I would like to express my condolences to those who have been affected or lost loved ones. This outbreak is severe, but it can be controlled, and the U.S. Government is working to confront this tragedy with a serious response to address the threat and assist affected countries in their response.

Two factors that are critical to spurring and maintaining economic growth and stability in developing countries are access to affordable, clean energy and the existence of social and institutional capacity to adapt to, mitigate and recover from shocks and stresses such as economic downturns and the adverse impacts of climate change. In particular, working with developing countries to help them deal with destabilizing climate change consequences, including water supply shortages, coastal flooding and droughts, is critical. Such work also protects our current and future development investments.
Today, I will highlight how the lack of clean energy access and the inability to address climate change risks can have a destabilizing effect on a country's economy, security, and the well-being of its citizens. I will describe USAID's efforts to address these challenges and discuss how our work on adaptation to climate change, water security, food security, and sustainable landscapes impacts security. Much of this work is embodied in USAID's Climate Change and Development Strategy, which seeks to help developing countries speed their transition to climate resilient, low emission, sustainable economic growth. Stability and well-being overseas often directly helps ensure U.S. national security.
Africa is a continent on the rise, with growing economies and the youngest population in the world. With fifty percent of the population in Sub-Saharan Africa under the age of 18, there is extraordinary potential for this generation of youth to shape the future of the continent in powerful ways. However, more than 200 million of these children currently live in extreme poverty, over 15 million children have lost one or both parents to AIDS, and millions more are affected by conflict and natural disaster.
Pending final Congressional approval, USAID expects to implement up to $150 million in this fiscal year to address the root causes of crime and violence in Honduras, Guatemala, and El Salvador. Of this amount, approximately $50 million is specifically designated programs for at-risk youth. Through the Central America Regional Security Initiative (CARSI), we are investing in opportunities for youth and their communities and strengthening the institutions charged with administering justice to keep people safe. Our services for at-risk youth, job training, community policing, safe urban spaces and juvenile justice programs complement the youth-focused cultural and educational programs as well as the law enforcement and interdiction activities led by our inter-agency partners.
Under the leadership of President Obama, the United States has put gender equality and the advancement of women and girls at the forefront of the three pillars of U.S. foreign policy–diplomacy, development, and defense. This is embodied in the President's National Security Strategy, the Presidential Policy Directive on Global Development, and the 2010 U.S. Quadrennial Diplomacy and Development Review. Women's empowerment is critical to USAID's core mission of ending extreme poverty and promoting resilient, democratic societies while advancing our security and prosperity and addressing pressing health and education challenges.
President Obama set forth a new vision of a results-driven USAID that would lead the world in development. We have risen to this challenge, pioneering a new model of development that emphasizes partnerships, innovation, and results. We are guided in these efforts by a new mission statement: we partner to end extreme poverty and promote resilient democratic societies while advancing our security and prosperity. Combating wildlife trafficking and the promotion of conservation are critically important to USAID and our mission. Conservation, which includes combating wildlife trafficking, is fundamental to human development and in achieving sustainable development.
This afternoon, I want to share with you our perspective on the vital role of U.S. foreign assistance in this region and how USAID's development programs address regional challenges and advance American interests. Across the East Asia-Pacific, USAID has eight field missions that provide support to 22 countries. By nature of our mission, to end extreme poverty and promote resilient, democratic societies, USAID advances U.S. security and prosperity while furthering the core objectives of the Administration's Rebalance to the Asia-Pacific. The President's robust Fiscal Year 2015 budget request of $810.7 million for Department of State and USAID assistance in East Asia and the Pacific enables USAID to continue helping to lay the foundations for lasting progress in the region.
In Mexico, as in the rest of the region, USAID is increasingly focused on helping the region's governments promote the rule of law and reduce crime and violence, while furthering respect for human rights. This is a matter of national security for the United States, as my colleagues have just noted, as well as an economic and political imperative for the affected countries. Continued insecurity is a severe drain on private and public investment in the Americas, a leading constraint to economic growth in some countries, and is also arguably the greatest threat to democracy in the affected countries.
USAID partners around the world to end extreme poverty and promote resilient, democratic societies, while advancing our security and prosperity. Our work in Northern Nigeria highlights the nexus between security, stability and poverty reduction. We are committed to working with Nigeria to build a peaceful society that promotes inclusive economic growth and lifts its citizens out of poverty.
One month ago, Boko Haram militants kidnapped more than 250 young girls from their school in an attack so shocking it mobilized the world behind returning these girls to their families. But this latest brutality was not an isolated incident. For years, Boko Haram has terrorized the people of Northern Nigeria through bombings, kidnapping, and sexual violence.
In 2011, President Obama said: "Asia will largely define whether the century ahead will be marked by conflict or cooperation, needless suffering or human progress." With one-fifth of the world's population—a third of which is living in extreme poverty—South Asia is a central focus of U.S. development assistance to ensure that the coming century is one marked by cooperation and human progress that extends mutual prosperity and security across the Asia-Pacific region.

The lightweight Carbon Ion fabric offers exceptional moisture-wicking and airflow, but what's even more is it is now treated with coldblack® that reflects the sun to reduce the surface temperature of the fabric. In other words, the black version of this jersey will stay as cool as the white jersey. The coldblack® treatment also offers extreme UV protection. With preshaped shoulder and aero lazer band sleeves, the Women's Performance Carbon Cycling Jersey performs aerodynamically and offers comfort when in the aero position.
There is a cult in cycling. A spawning of athletes unwilling to put their bikes up for the season. Their lives co-exist with riding come rain or come shine. Their needs require details woven with simplicity. A pratical approach for a relentless breed of riders.

Hairston, honoring Jackie, thinks family
SEATTLE -- Sam Hairston had only five at-bats for the Chicago White Sox in the summer of 1951.He made his Major League debut on July 21 and played in his last game on Aug. 26. He was 2-for-5 during his stay and that was it for the first African-American player in Chicago White Sox history. His Negro League accomplishments were much more substantial and the record shows that Hairston was the last in the Negro Leagues to win the Triple Crown when he hit .424 with 17 home runs and 71 RBIs for Indianapolis Clowns in the Negro American League in 1950. Hairston passed away in 1997 but his great baseball legacy lives on and his grandson, Jerry Hairston Jr., was among those who honored the memory of great African-Americans of the past by wearing No. 42 in honor of Jackie Robinson on Sunday against the Seattle Mariners. "Obviously it's a great honor to wear it today," Hairston said. "It's a great day to remember what Jackie did for us and for players of color, and it's great to see some Latin players wear it, too. "My grandfather and I were very close. We used to talk two or three times a week and this day means more when you sit and think what players went through back then when they didn't have the opportunities we did." Introduced in 2004, Jackie Robinson Day was created to honor the enduring impact of Jackie Robinson and his legacy as the first African-American player to break the Major League color barrier. Robinson played his first Major League game at Ebbets Field on April 15, 1947, as a member of the Brooklyn Dodgers. In honor of the 50th anniversary of Robinson breaking the color barrier in 1997, Robinson's uniform number 42 was retired throughout the Major Leagues.

Robinson's memory lives on today in initiatives such as the Jackie Robinson Foundation, which was founded by Rachel Robinson in 1973 to provide education and leadership development opportunities for minority students with strong capabilities but limited financial resources, as well as Breaking Barriers, which utilizes baseball-themed activities to reinforce literacy skills, mathematics, science and social history while addressing critical issues of character development such as conflict resolution and self-esteem.Players were given the option of wearing No. 42 on Sunday as a one-day tribute to Robinson. Rangers manager Ron Washington wore No. 42 as did his first-base coach Gary Pettis, Hairston and center fielder Kenny Lofton. "For me it means a guy who went through extreme lengths back in the 1940s to play the game of baseball and I don't know how he did it," Lofton said. "I know how we are as people. When somebody fires words at you, you want to fire back. He didn't. That's tough. He put a whole culture of African-Americans on his back and played a sport he wanted to play no matter what it took. "It was big. You have to understand it was still a divided system. He still had to do everything separate from his team in society and he had to deal with it every day." Sam Hairston played against Robinson in the Negro Leagues, and then was a teammate of Willie Mays with the Birmingham Black Barons and then with Hank Aaron after he was traded to the Clowns. "My grandfather was the one who picked up Hank Aaron at the train station," said Hairston, who grew up hearing stories of the Negro Leagues and Josh Gibson, Cool Papa Bell and Satchel Paige. "My grandfather was catching in an all-star game against Major Leaguers and Satchel Paige was pitching. Ted Williams was up at the plate and he turned to my father and said, 'That's the best pitcher I've ever seen.' "Ted Williams was one of the nicest guys. He really treated black players well and was pushing for them to get in the Hall of Fame." Hairston's grandfather stayed in the game right to the end. He had two sons -- John and Jerry Sr. -- play Major League baseball and so do his two grandsons: Jerry Jr. and Scott. Jerry Jr. was a junior at Southern Illinois University in 1997 when he was taken in the 11th round by the Baltimore Orioles. His grandfather, who was coaching for the Birmingham Barons in the White Sox farm system, had hit enough fungoes to his grandson to know that he was ready to play professional baseball. "He convinced me to sign," Hairston said. "He predicted I would be in the big leagues in two or three years. I was up there the next year." That was 10 years ago. Hairston is still in the prime of his career and his brother is a starting outfielder for the Diamondbacks. But they have never won the Triple Crown like their grandfather. "He was the best Hairston," Jerry Jr. said on a day to remember Jackie Robinson and all the great Negro League players from long ago.

Blogger Gary Engberg hauls in a perch. / Photo by Doug Stamm
Its amazing what can happen in the outdoors after the first heavy snow and cold of the winter. After the storm and blizzard of last week, Ive been seeing many changes with the arrival of many migrating eagles, birds, ducks, and geese. The Ferry Bluff Eagle Council started counting eagles, as it does every year, at the beginning of December. Ive mentioned in some of my earlier columns of all the work that the FBEC does to insure that the eagles will keep returning to the Lower Wisconsin River Valley and Sauk Prairie area. The Eagle Council has been counting eagles and helping collect valuable research data for decades and this information has helped many from the DNR to local businesses, chamber of commerces, and even our state government.
From December to the beginning of March, the Eagle Council counts eagles every other Sunday at ten different roosting sites from the Prairie du Sac Dam and to Lone Rock. I help count with Dr. Tim Moermond and Donna and Bill Stehling at the Sugarloaf roost site which is on the east side of the Wisconsin River about a mile downriver from the dam and close to the Wollerscheim Winery. As the winter progresses and we get the normal snow and cold this is a very popular roosting site for many eagles. There have been times during extreme cold and snow when over 100 eagles have been seen at this one roost site. But, this year during the first two eagle counts, there have been no eagles spotted going into the roosts in these heavily wooded valleys.
The eagle studies and local research has shown that the eagles will stay downriver near Lone Rock and in other non-traditional roost sites with some even off the river by miles like the Leland roost site at certain times of the early winter. The two roost sites closest to the Prairie du Sac Dam are the Sugarloaf and Blackhawk roosts. Eagles migrate up river toward the dam as the weather gets colder and snow covers the ground to feed on the abundant shad in the rivers open waters. Research and radio-collared eagles have shown that the eagles will roost in non-traditional roosts when the nights are warm and above freezing. But, as temperatures drop, the eagles will move and migrate to the traditional roost sites upriver. The traditional roost sites are where the Ferry Bluff Eagle Council counts its eagles.
The first eagle count had only 39 eagles counted and all were downriver near Lone Rock and off river at the Leland site. The second eagle count had 69 eagles counted with 49 eagles just at the Lone Rock roost. Again, volunteers at Sugarloaf and Blackhawk saw a few birds flying by, but none were seen roosting for the night. There are a few eagle pairs that nest on the river, but this is only a small number of the eagles.

Saturday afternoon, I took a drive around the Sauk City area and guess what? There were many eagles close to the dam and the upriver roosts. I saw over 20 eagles in just an hour of driving close to town and the traditional roost sites. In a day or two, more eagles had moved into the area and Im sure some migrated up toward the Prairie Dam from downriver where the cold temperatures will freeze the shallow water and make feeding difficult for the eagles. This was more eagles than I had seen since last March. This is a great time for eagle viewing and Im sure the number of eagles will keep increasing every week!
Suddenly and finally winter came with heavy snow and single digit temperatures. Living on the river, I see all kinds of wildlife, waterfowl, birds, and eagles everyday from my riverfront windows. The goose population on the Wisconsin River has risen dramatically with many more flocks landing on the rivers open water and joining the resident geese that stay year-round. There were diving ducks that must have been farther north and came down to find the open water. Before the stormy weather, there were a few mergansers, goldeneyes, and buffleheads on the rivers waters. But, now I was seeing flocks of divers, not just a few ducks here and there.
The activity in my backyard and land has become a birders paradise. I feed birds all year long, but feeding birds in the winter is so important in their survival. Winter is tough on the birds that stay here year-round because food is hard to find and they need to eat regularly to get surviving. When there is deep snow and cold temperatures, the help you can give birds is very important. Since the storm, Ive constantly have birds at my feeders and cleared feeding grounds. I spent over 3 hours digging out these areas around the feeders last week so that I could get at the feeders and clear some of the feeding locations. I see cardinals, blue jays, doves, nut-hatches, woodpeckers, and even crows to name a few of my winter visitors and hungry friends. The other afternoon, there were over 30 cardinals feeding at one time just before dark. Some winters when the snow is deep, I even get wild turkeys feeding on black-oil sunflower seeds outside my windows. If you can and want some great entertainment for the entire family then start feeding birds. Its fun and youre helping birds make it through the winter.
The deep snow will help the late season bow hunter because a hunter can narrow down their hunting area because deer are not going to move far away from their food source during the cold and snow. Find where the deer feed and bed which most likely are close together and youll have a good chance of harvesting a deer. There also is a Holiday Deer Hunt coming up for the gun hunter.
Wisconsins first wolf hunting and trapping season just closed December 23rd. The state set the wolf quota at 201 wolves for the six wolf zones. Of these 201 wolves, 85 were given to the Native American tribes leaving 116 for the general public. All of the six zones could be closed early when they reached a number close to their quota, so there would be no over-harvest. The DNR is just learning from this first hunt and they wanted to be conservative during this first season. Zone 6 was the last zone open and it closed on Sunday, December 23rd. The other zones reached their quotas early too, so they have been closed for a week or more in some of the other zones. The season was to last from October 15 to February 28, 2013. But, there must be numerous wolves in Wisconsin to close the season two months earlier than what was to be the closing date.
The pheasant season closes December 31st and I see few hunters out on the public hunting grounds near my home. But, there is very little competition and there still are pheasants to harvest if you get out and hunt the thickest cover that you can find. Late December can bring some great hunting with pheasants looking for food, grit, and cover. The snow on the ground also shows you that there are or are not any pheasants in the area youre hunting by their tracks. Plan to do some walking and dress warm, but the reward is easily worth it and the exercise is good for all of us.
Rabbit and squirrel hunting are still open and the snow makes tracking a cottontail much easier for the hunter. The coyote season is open all year and the snow will help the hunters in tracking these predators.
There is now ample snow for the cross country skier, the snowmobiler, and soon the ice fishermen will be out in full force. Sunday, there were 7 people ice fishing on Monona Bay near Brittingham Park in Madison. To me, this is a little early and I think there should be at least 4 inches of ice before venturing out. A six inch bluegill is not worth a dunking it to me.
Theres still plenty to do in the outdoors for the hunter, the skier, the hiker, the snow-shoer, and the bird viewer. December is almost over, but many of these activities will do nothing but get better as winter progresses. Ice fishing will hopefully soon be in full swing and whats nicer than the snow crunching under your feet as you go for a hike, glide on your cross country skis, or venture out fishing?
Enjoy winter and always be safe!

Glenn Thompson on Homeland Security
Proponent's Argument for voting Yes:
[Rep. Blackburn, R-TN]: This bill gets the Federal Government--and Federal taxpayers--out of the business of buying radio programming they do not agree with. This is a bill that is long overdue. Regardless of what you think of NPR, its programming or statements by its management, the time has come to cut the umbilical cord from the taxpayer support that has become as predictable as an entitlement program. Much has changed in the media landscape since the wiretaps, to seek certain business records, and to gather intelligence on lone terrorists who are not affiliated with a known terrorist group. The Patriot Act works. It has proved effective in preventing terrorist attacks and protecting Americans. To let these provisions expire would leave every American less safe.
Opponent's Argument for voting No:
[Rep. Conyers, D-MI]: Section 215 of the Patriot Act allows a secret FISA court to authorize our government to collect business records or anything else, requiring that a person or business produce virtually any type record. We didn't think that that was right then. We don't think it's right now. This provision is contrary to traditional notions of search and seizure which require the government to show reasonable suspicion or probable cause before undertaking an investigation that infringes upon a person's privacy. And so I urge a "no" vote on the extension of these expiring provisions.

Former Southern Cal coach Pete Carroll told the Los Angeles Times that he would not have left the school to take the Seattle Seahawks job if he knew about the NCAA sanctions against the school.
Carroll left Southern Cal before the penalties were announced in June 2010 stemming from violations involving star running back Reggie Bush.
"The truth was, an opportunity came up and it was one I couldn't turn away from," Carroll said. "... The NCAA came back at the university ... 'Now we're going to revisit after five years.' I had no knowledge that was coming. We thought maybe it wasn't coming because they didn't have anything to get us with. It wasn't five days, it wasn't five weeks. It was five years. Had we known that that was imminent ... I would never have been able to leave under those circumstances.
