We value feedback from our clients. Please share your story with us by writing a testimonial.
Great Service-Carol, Harry, and Susan Berger from Riverbank, CA
Pet Name: Angel
VCA Old River gave us the best service ever. We have 3 dogs that are very well taken care of. We love Dr. Machicao, her personality, the fact that she takes the time to answer all questions & concerns we have, etc. We sure hope she stays around for years to come.
Best Vet.-Carol, Harry, and Susan Berger from Riverbank, CA
Pet Name: Angel
We have 3 dogs, Joy, an 11.3 year old Border Collie/Black Lab mix, Ariel, a 9.6 year old German Shepherd, & Angel, a 29 month old German Shepherd Puppy (we still call her a puppy because she acts like one). We brought Angel in to see Dr. Machicao about a month ago for her routine physical & necessary shots. Dr. Machicao was great with Angel. (Angel just loves her). When Dr. Michicao came in the exam room, Angel greeted her with open arms, running to her & sitting right in front of her to be greeted & to greet her back. Then, after the exam when Dr. Michicao took Angel back for her shots, nail trim, etc., Angel was a perfect lady, walking right by Dr. Michicao. The Dr. has always told us that she could tell Angel had been trained & is very smart. Dr. Michicao takes the time to answer any & all of our questions & concerns. We'd recommend her to anyone & everyone.
Thank you-Jeremy, Raffaella and Mark from Tracy, CA
Pet Name: Bad Cat
We want to thank Dr. Machicao and the entire staff for the compassion and kindness shown to us when our beloved cat was put to sleep. We loved him dearly and was truly part of our family. We are heartbroken over his death but Dr. Machicao explained to us that his kidney failure condition was chronic and that the humane thing was to put him to rest. We take comfort in the fact that our Bad Cat is not suffering anymore. Huge thanks to the kindest doctor ever, Dr. Machicao, for being there for us, for explaining things clearly, for not rushing us and for giving us so much of her time. In this moment of distress, we were lucky to be in such wonderful hands. I highly recommend VCA Old River Animal Hospital.
A great place-Cat Owner from Tracy, CA
I love Old River VCA. The entire staff is very compassionate and understanding of you and your own personal situation. They are expensive, however they do not force anything on you. I love how they follow up with phone calls and give the best advice on how to take care of your pet after the visit. My cat saw Dr. Machicao, who is a great person and doctor. She comes across as kind and gentle and will learn by heart your pet's history right away to give you the best care possible. I highly recommend Old River!
Toby's first visit and follow up visits-Patrick and Robyn from Tracy, CA
Pet Name: Toby
We brought our Yorkie, Toby into the office for his first physical. Before the appt was made, I called and discussed the type of exam that would be given and what was included. The staff answered all my questions and we brought Toby in.
As a nurse, I know what types of exams are done on people and was curious to see how the exam was done and how thorough it would be.
Dr. Machicao was very thorough with the exam and explained what she was checking for from ears to his paws.
She educated me on puppy care since he was being treated for kennel cough when we adopted him. I was happy that the clinic was concerned for the other dogs and placed us in a different area of the clinic so Toby wouldn't give his kennel cough to another dog.
Dr. Machicao gave her recommendations concerning Toby's health and possible congenital eye issue.
I have since spoke with staff, Pat and Sylvia (and others, but don't recall their names) and they are professional, caring and returned my calls after consulting with Dr. Machicao.
I would recommend this clinic and Vet for others who want great communication and care for their family pet.
Patrick & Robyn
Great Service-Linda Rutley from Tracy, CA
Pet Name: Heidi
I have been bringing my pets to VCA Old River for many years and have been pleased with the skill and knowledge of the Veterinarians. The front office staffs have always been friendly and cordial but what a pleasant surprise to find that they have kicked it up a notch or two! In the past I was often jealous of my friend's Vet office staff that went out of their way to handle Pet Insurance claims but now that same great service is available at VCA Old River. Continue the good work and you will continue to receive my business.

Patachou, born Henriette Ragon in 1918 in Paris, had several jobs before managing, in 1948, a cabaret-restaurant in Montmartre, where she began singing, at first for her own pleasure. She was nicknamed "(Lady) Patachou" (from "pâte à choux", "cream puff pastry", the restaurant having been at first a cake shop). Her raucous and original voice seduced Maurice Chevalier, who encouraged her. The singer Georges Brassens made his debut in her cabaret.

Randy Graff
Well, let's pretend they didn't just do a knock-out revival of Death of a Salesman. As long as we're dreaming, I would like to play Linda. It is my favorite American play and when I saw Linda Emond do it, I wanted to play it even more. She brought an inner strength and dignity to Linda that made me understand the role even more clearly. I think I've lived on the planet long enough now to be able to get under that character's skin.
Dolly Levi in Hello, Dolly! I had the opportunity to play Dolly at the MUNY in 2007. We had a great time, but next time it would be wonderful to do it indoors, no rain, no bugs and with more rehearsal time. Dolly is one of the iconic leading ladies in musical theater. There's that gorgeous Jerry Herman score and speeches that are right out of The Matchmaker. And then there's the "shtick." Oh, that's one I'd like to sink my teeth into again. Hopefully without crunching on a mosquito!
Finally, if they ever do a revival of The Light in the Piazza and if Adam Guettel is generous enough to lower the score a bit, I would love to play Margaret. For me, Margaret is the juiciest leading lady of the 21st century thus far and was played to perfection by Victoria Clark. Her journey in this gorgeous musical... so full of surprises and lessons to be learned. If nothing else, just to get to sing, "Love if you can my Clara. Love if you can and be loved."Continued...

Your In-Room Flicks: The Hangover, Julie & Julia, And…Marilyn Minter?-------
With a dozen fairs, countless openings, and thousands of collectors in New York for Armory Arts Week, the Standard probably wasn't the first place aficionados were looking to find compelling art on Friday. But that's exactly what was on display at the launch of the hotel's new StandArt channel. Curated by Creative Time, this seasonally updated in-room video installation, which also bowed in L.A. and Miami, includes ten films by international art stars including Mika Rottenberg, the anonymous (and ubiquitous) Bruce High Quality Foundation, and Marilyn Minter. "It's so rare that you have time to watch art films," says Creative Time curator Meredith Johnson. "So we chose pieces that are more hypnotic and durational so you can turn it on at different times of day."
Among those are Minter's lush Green Pink Caviar, which went on tour with Madonna last summer and is also playing in the MoMA lobby. "I love doing this type of stuff," Minter told us; she'll soon do it again, with a forthcoming video project that will "look like silver." Equally seductive is BHQF's 75-minute black-and-white fictional tribute to Godard, L'eau de vie un film de Jean-Luc Godard, which follows a group of character types (actor, art consultant, agitator) as they hunt down elusive truths at 2005′s Art Basel Miami. Elsewhere, Lee Walton acts out his friend's Facebook statuses in F'Book: What My Friends Are Doing on Facebook and the Neistat Brothers race a Ducati against a Dutch city bike in the hilarious Yogurt vs. Gasoline.
"The competition for this is cable TV and you have to make this better than that, and it's tough because Jersey Shore is soo good," said Casey Neistat, wearing a towel with his blazer and tie after a jump into the pool earlier in the evening. (He'd mistakenly assumed the water was at "bathwater" temperature.) While the plunge provided a shock to his system, the installation is already paying dividends. "I'm doing a crazy Lazer Tag movie and I'm shooting here next Sunday," he said. "Think Jason Bourne meets 1986, Worlds of Wonder Lazer Tag." Just another Sunday at the Standard.
Check out a selection of the films, below.

An analysis of UCLA stats after Bruins' first two games.
UCLA F-Back Anthony Barr talks about his first LIVE college football action with Jon Gold. GO BRUINS.
Here's a montage of every pass we attempted on Saturday. Since Prince v. Brehaut will likely come up several more times over the next couple days, I thought this might be a solid tool for anyone looking to analyze Prince's game 1 performance. I feel that sometimes our game-day vision is impaired by passion, excitement, frustration etc. This phenomena leads to fuzzy pseudo-memories in which Logan Paulsen was called for 30 penalties in one game and Jrue Holiday was the worst freshman b-ball player in NCAA history. Looking through these plays, I would say that Prince deserved at least five more completions and 40 or so more yards for the day. That's not necessarily a ringing endorsement but I think the kid should get at least a few more starts before we give him the hook in favor of another youngster who has shown no pocket presence outside of one scrimmage.
I debated whether or not to post this because we lost the game but decided to share after all. Even though the final score isn't what we wanted, we still had a great time on our trip to...
Viewing information on Coach Rick Neuheisel's weekly television show debuting on Sunday, September 5, 2010.
Analysis and reflections on UCLA's heartbreaking season opening loss against Kansas State.
Ralph Irvin has a good package of post game interviews which includes comments from 3 of 4 Bruin captains: Kevin Prince, Rahim Moore, and Akeem Ayers. Moore talks about correcting the mental mistakes and need for paying closer attention to details. While Prince mentions how we have an opportunity to "bounce back" next weekend against a Pac-10 opponent and start the conference season 1-0 at home. Hope the players are just as frustrated as we all are but more resilient than the casual "fans." GO BRUINS.

Part of the Affordable Care Act encourages states to expand Medicaid to more residents. Opponents in Mississippi insist it will cost too much. Supporters say the federal government will pick up 100 percent of the cost for the first few years and expansion will create jobs.
A health advocacy group is on a statewide tour to make its case. It's called Mississippi's Road to Reform. The Mississippi Health Advocacy Program says the state should take advantage of increased funding coming from the federal government.
"They really need to look at dollar for dollar what Mississippi is getting," said Dr. Persharon Dixon with Coastal Family Health Center. "Right now, we get a good amount from the federal government. This is 100 percent over a few years. By the time we get to the point where we support it then we'll have revenue coming in."
Many state leaders, including Governor Bryant, say the program will end up costing Mississippi too much money in the long run.
Dr. Corey Wiggins points out a study from the Institutes of Higher Learning that says expanding Medicaid will, among other things, create jobs.
"When you look at it, we're talking about 9,000 jobs. Not just doctors and nurses. You have more people in health care like receptionists, people doing accounting and billing and people doing laboratory work."
Expanding Medicaid will add about 330,000 people to the states program. Opponents say that while the federal government picks up the tab for the first few years, the state will be responsible to pay costs after that. Dr Wiggins says it's worth it.
"You can look at it as a cost or an investment. We look at it as an investment in families and job creation. All those things we look for here in our state."
Expanding Medicaid is expected to be a subject of hot debate during the upcoming legislative session.

PITTSBURGH -- Cubs catcher Steve Clevenger was suspended one game and fined an undisclosed amount for what Major League Baseball described as his "aggressive actions and fighting" during the bench-clearing incident in the bottom of the sixth inning Thursday against the Nationals.
Joe Garagiola, Jr., senior vice president of standards and on-field operations for Major League Baseball, made the announcement on Saturday.
Clevenger did not appeal the decision, and served the suspension Saturday, missing the Cubs' game against the Pirates.
"Whatever happens there, that's the decision of Major League Baseball," Cubs manager Dale Sveum said. "We're lucky it's just one day."
Cubs pitcher Manuel Corpas and bench coach Jamie Quirk also were ejected from the game, but neither was suspended.
Sveum gave Clevenger the news on Saturday.
"I fully accept it," Clevenger said. "Major League Baseball stepped in, and I accept their punishment."
It wasn't clear exactly what Clevenger did, and he didn't expand.
"When benches clear, things happen," he said. "I'm out there trying to protect my team. We'll go from there."

Thread: Noise on the Homepage
Noise on the Homepage
Is there a way the thunder/noise from the video on the homepage could muted or paused by default? I know I'm not the only one that hates when a website makes noise automatically. I suppose I could make the forums my bookmark like I used to, but regardless of my ability to avoid it, the sound is a problem IMO.
Also, I get logged out automatically every time I leave the site. I don't know if it's something I'm missing in setting or at login, or if the problem is with the site.
I suppose trying to sneak a peek at PPO at work and suddenly the thunder starts is blowing your cover LOL. Maybe webby can make it optional. Or just remember to mute your sound before coming to PPO.
As to the loging out it happens to me as well sometimes. Yesterday I suddenly had no permissions to enter the chat or post for a while, and I am a mod. We are still tweaking the site and working on bugs. Part of it is getting the script to work with a wide range of browsers and platforms. Just keep looking for the log in box on the front page that says save info rather than the login at the top of the page. The login at the top doesn't set a cookie as far as I can tell.

I was just on a Eagle board checking it out and a Packer fan starts sending me personal messges.
Packer Fan:
Go Eagles!!! God i love it when the vikings lose, lets hope kearse lays out culpepper and plants him under the turf.
You lost to the bears in your home stadium nothing could top that not even the ukeright: ukeright: Vikings loosing LOL
Packer Fan:
Awwww pissed your going to lose tonight. I love to see minny lose man its almost as great as green bay winning. Plus whats with that horn blowing in your stadium and your team wearing purple. You viking fans love to blow each other? Wow what a bunch of homosexuals.
Real mature dude, just because of a teams color you call them gay. I guess my whole high school was gay. Hey it could be worse we could be wearing Babie **** Green and Yellow. The horn rules dude, thats the calling for an ass whooping, you should know that. At least we arn't wearing chees on our heads.
Packer Fan:
Wearing cheese on our head is better than wearing purple, that **** speaks for itself. Your horn blowing represents that you viking fans are gay. So do you blow other men, yeah thats what most viking fans do. You jealous of our 3 super bowl titles while you frauds have none. Gary Anderson kicks the winning field goal against the falcons and its no good. Morten andersons kick is up and it's good and the vikings choke once again. 1998 title game was awesome.
I didnt reply after that i figured it wasn't worth it. I mean the dude is obviously ignorant if all he can come up with is our colors and something that happened six years ago then forget it. They never quit, I dont believe I have ever seen a viking fan post anything in my entire life as stupid as what this dude told me. ukeright:
09-20-2004, 04:14 PM #2Del Rio Guest
This isn't an accurate representation of EVERY packer fan thank goodness.
There are soem viking fans that act this way too I'm sure
very desperate attempt to bring his confidence back up after the pack loss.[img:2264cdc124]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v482/ultravikingfan/vikesklein.jpg[/img:2264cdc124]

Progress in technology has brought microelectronics to the nanoscale, but nanoelectronics is not yet a well-defined engineering discipline with a coherent, experimentally verified, theoretical framework. The NCN has a vision for a new, 'bottom-up' approach to electronics, which involves: understanding electronic conduction at the atomistic level; formulating new simulation techniques; developing a new generation of software tools; and bringing this new understanding and perspective into the classroom. We address problems in atomistic phenomena, quantum transport, percolative transport in inhomogeneous media, reliability, and the connection of nanoelectronics to new problems such as biology, medicine, and energy. We work closely with experimentalists to understand nanoscale phenomena and to explore new device concepts. In the course of this work, we produce open source software tools and educational resources that we share with the community through the nanoHUB.
This page is a starting point for nanoHUB users interested in nanoelectronics. It lists key resources developed by the NCN Nanoelectronics team.

An E-Team to Design a Very Low Power Network
University of Pittsburgh, 1998 - $11,500This E-Team developed a prototype for a system that establishes a network of wireless devices within a small area using very low power and RF radio transmission. The transmission distances may range from a few inches to a few meters.
Communication over short distances with very low power creates a wide array of new applications of RF technology. The applications for this technology are diverse, ranging from wireless patient monitoring devices to food safety monitoring for the meat industry. The technology originated in a funded E-Team course EE1185, Microprocessor Systems.
The E-Team plans to develop a prototype and perform a market study on the device. Members of the E-Team are computer and electrical engineering students.

A Hope Mills man and woman charged with human trafficking have been arrested before on drug charges and other charges. Local police are also investigating the couple.
According to Jacksonville Police, officers arrested 36-year-old Robin Applewhite and 29-year-old Samantha Rivard, both of Hope Mills on Sunday, July 21. The two are charged with human trafficking and conspiracy, along with various drug charges.
Arrest records show Applewhite and Rivard were arrested separately on July 11 at the Candlewood Suites off Sycamore Dairy Road in Fayetteville after someone reported suspicions of drugs in their hotel room. Both were charged with drug possession and other drug charges.
Rivard and Applewhite are charged with human trafficking after a woman says she was taken from Cumberland County to Jacksonville and forced into prostitution. Jacksonville Police say the woman was held in sexual servitude.
Fayetteville police say there is an ongoing investigation related to the couple's arrest in earlier this month, but police could not say if it was related to the arrests in Jacksonville. Authorities did say the Fayetteville investigation is "similar in nature."
Hope Mills police also said they have investigated the couple. According to records, an officer pulled over Rivard in a traffic stop in April. That stop led to an investigation at the couple's home in Hope Mills. That investigation was related to drug possession.
Hope Mills police said detectives never saw evidence of prostitution at the couple's home on Applegate Road, but they are trying to figure out if it was happening there or even at other places the couple rented for that.
Applewhite is in jail on $800,000 bond. Rivard is being held on $700,000 bond.

Cooperstown Crier
---- — Teams that wanted to play on Doubleday Field are out, at least for April and possibly longer.
Work is under way on fixing the roofing on the stadium, but there will be more work than anticipated after workers removing the shingles revealed that the field-side wood beams underneath also need to be replaced.
The stadium is already closed for rentals in April, and may need an extra few days of work in May, according to Cooperstown Mayor Jeff Katz.
"That's my hope," Katz said. "My gut says we will get it done on time."
The original plan was to replace the shingles on the roof and some of the wood. However, once the shingles came off, it was clear that the wood beams underneath had rotted and more of them needed to be replaced.
The parking lot side of the wood is in good shape and did not need repairs, according to village officials.
Katz said the original bid for the work, which is being done by Mid-State Industries Ltd. of Schenectady, called for replacing 20 percent of the beams, so replacing all the beams on that side should not add much in either cost or time.
"We aren't talking about going from 20 percent to 100 percent," he said. "It is just 100 percent of the one section. That's about a third of the total area. So really we are just talking about another 12 or 13 percent.
"I wouldn't think it would take that much longer," he continued. "We are not talking about another month. The guys are already here up on the roof doing the work. We're just talking about getting the extra wood and taking a little longer."
According to Katz, the money for the repairs will come out of the reserve fund. He added that he did not think the field being closed in April would affect revenues, which are tied to the 2012-13 budget and had been accounted for in last year's projections.
"Mostly in April, the field tends to be used by civic groups, Pony leagues and the high school, and they don't pay, anyway, if they are from Cooperstown," he said. "If they are from out of the village they do pay, but those rentals have dropped off as budgets have become tighter."
Cooperstown normally plays its varsity games at Doubleday Field, but will play its early-season games at the high school instead, according to CCS baseball coach Frank Miosek. Cooperstown has three home games scheduled in April, and two more during the first week of May. The team's first home game is on April 15 against Mount Markham.
Katz said he regrets the change in venue for the high school team, but didn't think it was wise to delay the repairs.
"It kind of stinks for them. I understand that," he said. "In a way, it is like the Walnut Street project. It is always going to affect somebody. One path is to never get things done. I hate to inconvenience everybody, but it is long overdue.
"One of the things we have learned once we got the shingles off, is it looks like that is the original wood. So you are talking about wood that is 70 years old," he said.
The stadium grandstands at Doubleday Field were built in 1938-1939. A survey of needed repairs also indicated that several steel beams are rusted and need to be replaced. However, Katz said, that money was not in the budget to do those repairs this year.
"The original bid came in at more than $300,000, and there was only about $140,000 in the Doubleday Field fund," Katz said. "It would be a fairly substantive structural repair. We'll have to refer it back to the engineer while we figure out the money part of it."

I saw that some one mentioned a baler with a cub engine on it a couple of weeks ago. I think that I have the engine from one of them on a buzz saw that I bought about 10 years ago over in Penn Yan NY. It has a Mag on it and I need info because there was no spark on it 3 or 5 years ago and I did what I now know is foolish, by taking the mag off to look at it. Well as I say If I can't break it it can't be broke. When I get back up to town of Franklin in Deleware county NY I will try the clean the points and follow the timing TDC on #1 let click etc as I saw posted for A cub with a Mag. All I knew about Mags before I read some of the postings here, is that is how I learned to cuss listening to my grand father with the bilge pumps on his derrick and barges. Man he could make the air turn blue. Needless to say I had a low opinion of Mags ever since. Pop was GREAT.Of course this was during the late 1930's early 40's so may be there was no money for points etc. The salt air probably did not help either. Any way I will attempt to get it fixed. It was origionally crank from what the old farmer I bought it from said. He added a 6 volt starter. I don't remember if there is a generator, but that is a story for another day.
I'll have to learn about generators and regulators because my 12 volt early 60's Low Boy doesn't charge.

3.45/5 rDev -10.4%
Pours a dark brown color. 1/4 inch head of an off-white color. Good retention and great lacing. Smells of sweet malt, hint of hop, nut, and a hint of pale malt. Fits the style of an English Brown Ale. Mouth feel is smooth an clean, with an average carbonation level. Tastes of sweet malt, pale malt, nut, slight hop, and a hint of wheat. Overall, good appearance and feel, but it is too strongly sweet and not well blended.

Served in a shaker pint glass at the brewpub.
Well, even though the Sugar Bowl is shot, at least the bulls are winning... This brew pours a clear deep mahogany topped by finger of dirty ecru micro-foam. The nose comprises walnuts, light cedar, and very light toffee. The taste holds notes of toffee, walnuts, and light oak. The body is a light medium, with a light carbonation and a sorta watery feel. Overall, a nice nut brown, but a bit thin and airy for my liking. Still, it's pretty dern drinkable.

On tap at the brewpub, quick review from written notes.
Tawny dark brown, good coverage and lacing. Long lasting foam arround the edges with a bit of spotty lacing present.
Malty aroma, Lightly fruity.
English Maris Otter malt dominates the flavor, some supporting notes of fruity yeast. It has something of an astringent bite, generally light bodied with ample carbonation.
Would like to try on cask and get another opinion sometime.

Carbon Monoxide warning (From This is The West Country)
Get involved! Send your photos, video, news & views by texting COUNTY GAZETTE to 80360 or email us
Carbon Monoxide warning
4:00pm Sunday 16th February 2014 in Devon
THE Devon & Somerset Fire and Rescue Service is warning people about the dangers of carbon monoxide, the 'silent killer'.
Carbon monoxide, a highly poisonous gas with no colour, taste or smell, can be produced by appliances which use gas, wood, oil or coal.
The gas can also be present in smoke from solid fuel or oil appliances.
It is potentially fatal and even low levels of it can cause lasting damage to human health.
A statement from the service said: "It is dangerous to block ventilation to your fuel-burning appliances as this can lead to carbon monoxide poisoning.
"Fuel-burning appliances need a consistent supply of air for complete combustion to occur and for the appliance to work correctly.
"If you're concerned about draughts in your home you should speak to your installation specialist, who may be able to recommend a different location in your home for the appliance to be located."

Prepping the rim joist for spray foam in cold weather
I live in upstate NY (climate zone 5 or 6; I'm right on the line) in a brick house that was built in 1850. My foundation walls are at least 14-in. thick stone (with mortar joints). I believe the house is balloon framed, but I haven't lived in it long enough to figure that out yet. I've heard from the previous owners that there's blown cellulose between the walls and the brick. There's some evidence on the exterior that this might be true.
I'm in the process of air sealing what I can, mainly in the basement right now. (the storms are in excellent shape, and the house is otherwise pretty tight for its age). After the basement I'll venture into the attic to air seal up there. (There's about 10-in of cellulose in the attic; I'll add more if/when I can). I purchased a spray foam kit (the FrothPak) and plan to hit the areas of the rim joist that are accessible soon. Some of the bays are filled completely to the subfloor with stone, but in many others the stone has been carved out to make room for pipe and wires. So those are the areas that I'm going to focus on most.
I know the middle of winter isn't the best time to be doing this work. I hit both the stone and the rim joist with an infrared temperature gun and get readings ranging from 35 degrees up to 50 (most in the 30s and 40s). Does anyone have any tips on how to raise the surface temps w/in the bays that I want to spray? (Rigid insulation isn't an option here b/c of piping and the depth of the foundation walls - I can only access these areas with a spray gun). Any tips and insights would be greatly appreciated.
Posted Thu, 02/13/2014 - 17:57
Edited Thu, 02/13/2014 - 21:04
The usual way to raise the temperature of a basement (and the interior surface of the foundation) is with a heater. Your options include: the home's furnace or boiler; one or more electric space heaters; a Torpedo heater that burns kerosene; or a radiant propane heater (like the ones used in ice fishing shanties).
If you want to direct the heat to a small area, you can use a hair dryer.
Posted Fri, 02/14/2014 - 07:30
Thanks, Martin. I must not have worded my question very clearly. I was looking for some advice on ways to direct heat the surface temp since heating the entirety of the stone walled foundation in this climate in the middle of winter seems a little crazy. It's unfinished basement so using the boiler isn't an option. I wondered about Torpedo heaters but it's a large basement and I didn't know how long it would take to raise the surface temp with that method. It seems your final suggestion of the hair dryer is a good one - I never thought of it, though now remember Dan Morrison mentioning that he'd used this approach in his house. At least I think he did. Anyway, thanks.

EAU CLAIRE An avid outdoorsman, using a trail camera for the first time on recently purchased land in Buffalo County, came up with pictures of a wild turkey, a white-tailed deer and, surprisingly, a wild roaming cougar.
A wildlife biologist with the state Department of Natural Resources, Kris Johansen, visited the site with a warden and confirmed the background vegetation in the photograph matched the site. In addition, the biologist found and identified cougar tracks on a small patch of sand in the area.
More on cougars in Wisconsin: Trail cameras capture cougar activity | Cougar captured on trail cameras in two counties | Upload your trail camera photos
However, with dry, hard soil throughout the area, it was not possible to track this animal. Cougars are famous for their ability to remain concealed from view and to move across large distances without being detected. The best chance for additional information on this cougar might be another trail camera or an observant individual who recognizes cougar sign.
Buffalo County is a trophy deer mecca and both landowners and guides use trail cameras extensively.
There are probably more trail cameras in Buffalo County, per capita, than in any other county in the state, said Johansen. I wouldnt be surprised if it shows up on camera again.
While there have been several verified sightings of cougars in Wisconsin in recent years this was only the second verified sighting in 2012. A cougar was verified near Crandon in northeast Wisconsin on March 26. In all cases where biological material was available (hair, scat, blood) the cougars were identified as young, male, North American cougars.
DNA testing of biological samples and other evidence has confirmed that at least six individual male cougars have visited Wisconsin since 2008.
This latest cougar was photographed in northern Buffalo County between Gilmanton and Mondovi sometime after dark Saturday. DNR staff is searching the area for additional prints or biological samples, but so far none have been found. Without DNA, it is not possible to say whether this is a new individual or a previously identified cougar.
There is currently no evidence that cougars are breeding in Wisconsin. Biologists believe the cougars known to have entered Wisconsin are male cougars dispersing from a breeding population in the Black Hills of South Dakota. Evidence shows that at least three of these cougars moved on and left the state. One of these, the St. Croix cougar that entered Wisconsin from Minnesota during the winter of 2009-2010, was killed by a vehicle in Connecticut in 2011. Biologists estimate that cougar traveled at least 1,055 miles and possibly as far as 1,600 miles.
Cougars are a protected species in Wisconsin and cannot be shot unless attacking a human or a domestic animal. Cougar attacks on humans are exceedingly rare. They are rarely seen even in western states where they exist in high numbers.
Cougars are not considered a threat to public safety. In the extremely unlikely event that a person is confronted by a cougar, experts recommend against running. Instead, face the cougar, spread your arms and open your coat or jacket if you are wearing one to appear larger. Take hold of small children so they do not run. Yell at the cougar. If it approaches, throw rocks or sticks at it.
For more information on cougars in Wisconsin, go to the DNRs cougar sightings web page at http://dnr.wi.gov/org/land/er/mammals/cougar/sightings.htm. Individuals who have observed cougars in Wisconsin, especially if they have obtained photos, are urged to report cougars on the Rare Mammal Observation form on the Cougar Web site.

Grady County Commissioners are saying no to firearms at Barber Park.
County leaders are standing by their decision that flies in the face of a recently passed state law. When you drive through the gates into Barber park, county leaders say you'll have to leave your guns at home.
"We just don't believe that's necessary, so by a vote of 5 to 0 the commission voted not to allow firearms, at our recreation facility," said commission chairman T. D. David.
The decision comes after the Georgia General Assembly passed and Governor Deal signed a law that allows guns to be carried into bars, churches and some government buildings but the David says it's just not the right choice for his county.
"We know that legislation is passed for everywhere in Georgia but we want to have our own legislation, legislation that we are comfortable with," said David.
He says with all of the family friendly activities that take place at the recreational facility having a gun handy is just unnecessary. "If two people got in an argument which happens at these types of games, would you want both of those guys armed, no you wouldn't, that is as they say a no brainer," said David.
The commissioners have committed to sticking to their guns about making sure no guns are allowed anywhere near the park.
"If you're too scared to go unarmed, stay home don't go to a recreation park," said David.
Commissioners are serious about enforcing the gun ban policy.

Some pretend to be hysterical, others lie lifelessly on the floor while others feign anguish over their gaping wounds. No, these actors aren't rehearsing a Marilyn Manson video. They're students helping a local sheriff's department experience what it's like to have a real shooter on their campus.
When the Central High School students in Cheyenne, Wyo., work with the Laramie County sheriff's department to simulate a crisis, it looks like the real thing. They run, scream, beg for help and create completely unscripted chaos.
This allows law enforcement officials to experience some of the aspects of a school shooter situation. Likewise, the students can see what to do and what not to do in the unlikely event of a crisis.

SkillsUSA graphic arts students at Kendrick High School in Columbus, Ga., believe it takes more to be mentors than a one-time experience. During monthly visits to nearly 100 fourth-graders at nearby Georgetown Elementary School, Kendrick students conducted a Halloween safety program and, later, a holiday carnival.
They also carried out a literacy project as well as promoted awareness of career and technical education. According to chapter advisor Cheryl Rees, one special project was a "Quilt of Thanks." Spurred by the Sept. 11 attacks, both the high school and the elementary students designed patches for a quilt made to look like the American flag.

Major brain surgery without any major scars. It's hard to believe, but it's true.
Doctors at Sanford Health say technology has improved greatly and it's improving patient's results.
LuAnn Moen had a tablespoon-sized tumor taken out of her head and saw improvement immediately. The tumor was causing her to lose her vision, but it improved right after the surgery.
Doctors went up through her nose and used a high tech camera to navigate around the tumor.
LuAnn did not suffer any bruising or visual scars. She said she had a little pain on the bridge of her nose, but was impressed by how fast she recovered from brain surgery.
She had surgery on a Wednesday and was able to go home on Saturday.
