Weathering the drought
By Lesa Teer.
After a brutal summer, pastures in the southern and High Plains states are beginning to look a lot alike--dead, dry, dusty and burnt. Cows out to pasture are growing thin, both in numbers and nutrition, and producers are selling out at an alarming rate.
Mark Bechthold of Booker, Texas, has already sold 220 head of his cow herd. "I'll probably end up selling about 90 percent," he said. "I've got a few left that are bred but I'll probably end up selling them also."
With little relief in the way of summer rainfall, pasture conditions are declining rapidly, leaving many producers with culling or feeding as their only options. Some, like Bechthold, have Conservation Reserve Program grazing land to fall back on--but even that isn't a long-term option.
"I've relied on the CRP because my native grass never did grow any over the summer due to the drought," Bechthold said. "The CRP is coming close to being over with and I didn't want to have to feed them all winter."
If the drought continues--and many are saying that it will--producers are going to find themselves in the difficult situations of culling more with only their best cows left, preventing pastures from being overgrazed and maintaining a cow-calf herd that will continue to be profitable after and during the drought.
Culling considerations
Chances are if you're a producer, you've had to go through the culling process before for one reason or another. However, many producers have never had to cull due to the onset of a long-term drought.
Droughts as severe as this one bring forth many new and different concerns for producers. Suddenly, forage availability is depleted, feed costs are steadily climbing and the economic feasibility of maintaining an operation comes to the forefront. Jason Cleere, Ph.D, Texas AgriLife Extension associate professor and Extension beef cattle specialist, has advised many producers on how to best get through the drought.
"We want to do two things," Cleere said. "One, we want to make sure that we get this year's calf crop and income on the ground, and with that we assume the cows we've got now are bred. But, also, we want to make sure that we look at maintaining those cows in good enough condition so that they will breed back in the spring and we'll make sure we have a calf crop and a paycheck two years from now."
Cleere suggests first considering weaning and selling larger calves in the herd in order to preserve as much forage as possible.
"If you do the math, a 500-pound calf may eat seven to 10 pounds of forage per day," he said.
After palpating all cows and heifers, cull any cows that are open or are outliers in the calving season.
"Now is not the time to give them another chance," Cleere said. "It's just going to be so expensive to take them through the current situation we are in now."
Replacement heifers are the next culling candidates. While they are the future of the operation, open heifers are a higher risk for the operation, as they are the most susceptible to drought and won't provide revenue for two years.
"You may even consider culling bred heifers," Cleere said. "The toughest time to breed them back would be after they've had that first calf. They're going to be the most susceptible to the drought situation and they'll have the lowest reproduction rates and weaning weights.
"As for the cow herd, I've told ranchers to look for an excuse to get rid of them," Cleere said. Accurate record keeping plays an important role in this process by allowing producers to better examine the cow's reproductive history. An evaluation should focus on udders, age, eyes, feet, legs or anything else that may throw up a red flag that the cow may be lower producing or shorter term on the ranch, thus provide a reason for culling.
A cow's body condition score can also help determine if she should be culled. Cleere said that cows with a body condition score of a low four or a three are culling candidates, as they will have a harder time improving condition through the drought.
"Once you do all of that you're kind of down to the heart of the herd," Cleere said.
At this point, culling can be based on marginally productive cows, cows that produce lighter weaning calves or uniformity as far as phenotype or color.
Some producers, hopeful for rain and improved conditions, tend to avoid culling during a drought and try to wait it out. This often ends up stretching the cows nutritionally--resulting in thinner cows that will not bring as much money when marketed.
If a producer decides to feed any cattle through the drought, feed availability is a major concern. Feed prices have continually gone up, and with the supply of feed available to producers continuing to go down and drought conditions continue to worsen, prices will likely continue to increase. Producers should be proactive in evaluating forage and economic resources in order to make the decision to feed through the drought as early as possible.
"We're telling producers that we need to really think about the possibility of feeding from now through the middle of April," Cleere said. "I'm looking at $2 to $4 to get a cow through this--per day."
While culling due to drought conditions is a task that no producer wants to be faced with, culling provides an opportunity to improve the overall quality of the herd by ensuring that all of the cows left will generate income.
"When you come out of the drought, the goal is that if you're still going to be in business, still going to have a cow herd, you're going to be the best of the best," Cleere said.
Pasture conditions
One of the most important considerations producers need to heed to is the ongoing change in pasture conditions and stocking rates. If stocking rates are not adjusted for the drought conditions, a producer runs the risk of the herd suffering nutritionally and pastures being severely damaged.
Daren Redfearn, Ph.D., Oklahoma State University associate professor and Extension forage and pasture management specialist, said that the primary goal of grazing management during a drought should be to increase grazing efficiency.
"Once the stocking rate has been corrected for reduced forage production, some form of rotational stocking would offer the best chance to stretch limited pasture production," Redfearn said.
Redfearn said that it can be difficult to determine which grazing strategy is the best for a drought because a correct stocking rate is the most important factor.
Even though there is no definite preferred grazing strategy, Redfearn suggests a rotational stocking plan.
"It may be better to overstock and ruin certain pastures than to overstock and hurt all pastures," Redfearn said. "An additional advantage to using this strategy is that in the future, it would be certain which pastures may need better grazing management or renovation."
Redfearn said that stocking rate, which is dependent on the realistic estimate of forage production, utilization and a realistic estimate of animal size and number, should be refigured every time one input variable changes.
After stocking rate, Redfearn said that pasture health is the most important consideration. "Some perennial grasses and some reseeding annuals will not persist if overgrazed for too long," he said.
While a little bit of rain may lead to green grass and the tendency to turn cattle out to graze those pastures, drought-damaged pastures should be given more time to recover.
"Moisture alone does not cure the long-term effects on plants from drought," Redfearn said. "Even though it can be tempting to begin grazing as soon as pastures begin to grow following a drought, grazing drought-weakened pastures too soon can further weaken the plants, which may permanently damage the stand."
For producers in the southern states, conditions look rather bleak and talk of the drought lasting for a while longer offers little relief in sight. "I think we probably have lost a lot of grass, to what magnitude that's hard to tell because, really, we haven't been through this scenario," Cleere said.
When conditions do begin to improve, Cleere suggests that producers stock conservatively in order to allow pastures to adequately recover and avoid supplemental feeding.
"Supplemental feeding cost are much higher, hay cost are much higher, if we can stock more conservatively, hopefully we can reduce the amount of those that we have to feed and depend more on the cattle harvesting their own forage," Cleere said.
Rebuilding herds
When conditions improve and it is time to start rebuilding herds, there are several considerations to make in terms of what cows to rebuild with and whether it should be done through buying or breeding. Here are a few points from Cleere's "Buying vs. Raising Replacement Heifers" (http://animalscience.tamu.edu/images/pdf/beef/beef-buying-vs-raising-replacement-heifers.pdf) to help when making decisions, whether buying or raising replacement heifers.
--Before rebuilding herds, take time to evaluate the operation from a condition standpoint and determine what breed of cattle will fit the best for the environment. "We can make just about any cow work in any environment in the US but input costs will vary--cattle not suited to their environment will cost more to maintain," Cleere said.
--When considering genetic improvement within the herd, buying would be the best option if genetics need to be improved quickly. However, the difficultly of buying lies in finding the cows that you want that are within your budget.
--When breeding for replacement heifers, the breeder has complete control of the genetic selection and the ability to crossbreed for heterosis. The breeder can also purposely choose to keep the heavier and older calves, which have been shown to be the more fertile of the calf crop, for replacement heifers.
--A cow's genetics can affect the profitability of the herd for the next eight to 14 years, making reproduction an important issue in a cow/calf herd. "From an economic standpoint, the most important trait to have is not weaning weight or price per pound--it's reproductive performance," Cleere said.
--Unfortunately, there is no general rule of thumb for if buying or breeding is more economical; it varies from operation to operation. Generally, raising replacement heifers is more of an option for large producers. But, for smaller producers, buying may be the most economical option due to the costs of feed and labor. "So much of that decision for ranchers is not just an economic decision, but it's also just a practical decision--management issues, the ability to find females as good as the cows that you already have," Cleere said.
--"(Producers) need to understand that the replacement female is a long-term investment--you've got high upfront costs whether you're raising it or you're buying it," Cleere said. "So you want to make sure that you've got a female that will live in that herd, be producing in that herd and give you a paycheck every year for as long as possible."
--Buying middle-aged replacement cows may be a better choice than younger cows as they are fully mature, have calved before and can be more dependable from a reproductive standpoint.
--A producer has many options when deciding where to purchase replacement heifers and should choose one where they trust that they purchase a healthy animal that will not pose a health risk to the rest of the herd.

A thief took a few things from Greg Rice's pickup. Theft victim Rice says they took, "A tape measure, thumb drive and some old keys." But he noticed the thief left something in return. Rice says, " There was a strange phone sitting right on my seat."
Suspecting the phone which looked like this belonged to the thief Greg thumbed through the contact list and found a name to call.Greg says, "I dialed mommy" And he reached her. Greg says, "I just said my car was broke into and I found this phone on the seat of my car. Mommy sounded a little bit like this guy is totally insane."
Greg turned the phone over to law enforcement and with his help real detectives made a call on two suspects who now have a date in court.
Greg wonders how many other vehicles the suspects hit but his had the evidence to help get them caught. Greg says, "I guess the karma gods caught up to them a little bit. They instead of taking stuff, left stuff"
Greg is a teacher who learned a lesson about making sure his vehicles are locked. But the theft left him with a story to tell about calling a parent.
" I dialed mommy"
Rice says detectives told him the two suspects tied to the phone are now in jail on other charges. No word on recovery of items taken from his pick-up.

For Healthcare Professionals
Applies to moexipril: oral tablet
Based on limited data, moexipril (the active ingredient contained in Univasc) appears to be generally well-tolerated. Moexipril has been evaluated for safety in more than 2,500 patients with hypertension; more than 250 of these patients were treated for approximately one year. The overall incidence of reported adverse events was only slightly greater in patients treated with moexipril than patients treated with placebo. Less than 4% of patients discontinued therapy due to adverse events.
Cardiovascular side effects include symptomatic hypotension, postural hypotension, or syncope in 0.5% of patients. Less commonly associated with moexipril (the active ingredient contained in Univasc) are angina/myocardial infarction, palpitations, rhythm disturbances, and cerebrovascular accidents. Angioedema is a rare side effect that indicates a need to discontinue therapy.
Renal side effects have included new or worsened renal insufficiency, defined as an increase in serum creatinine to at least 140% of baseline value, reported in 1% and 2% of patients taking moexipril (the active ingredient contained in Univasc) and hydrochlorothiazide-moexipril, respectively.
Gastrointestinal side effects are uncommon, and include abdominal pain, constipation, vomiting, appetite or weight changes, dry mouth, and rare cases of pancreatitis and hepatitis. While elevations of liver enzymes have been reported, the overall incidence of abnormal laboratory values associated with moexipril (the active ingredient contained in Univasc) has been similar to that in placebo-treated groups.
Respiratory side effects have commonly included cough in up to 6% of patients. Cough is the most common reason patients have discontinued therapy. Other respiratory system side effects have included dyspnea and wheezing.
A retrospective study has revealed a significantly higher incidence of discontinuation of angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitor therapy due to cough among black patients compared with non-black patients (9.6% vs. 2.4%).
Several agents have been studied for treating cough with ACE inhibitors. No long term trials exist to allow a definitive treatment option. Cromolyn has the most data showing some benefit. Other agents studied include baclofen, theophylline, sulindac, and benzonatate.
Patients with intestinal angioedema generally present with abdominal pain (with or without nausea or vomiting) and in some cases there was no prior history of facial angioedema, and C-1 esterase levels were normal. These symptoms resolve after stopping the ACE inhibitor.
Hypersensitivity reactions to angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors may be life threatening. Angioedema of the face, extremities, lips, tongue, glottis and/or pharynx have been reported rarely in patients receiving ACE inhibitors. In addition, intestinal angioedema has been reported in patients treated with ACE inhibitors. It is recommended that any patient with dyspnea, dysphagia, or significant facial angioedema stop therapy immediately and avoid ACE inhibitor therapy in general.
Urticaria, rash, pemphigus, pruritus, and photosensitivity have also been associated with moexipril.
Nervous system
Nervous system side effects include drowsiness, sleep or taste disturbances, headache, nervousness, mood changes, tinnitus, and anxiety.
Hematologic problems include rare cases of hemolytic anemia. The use of some ACE inhibitors has been associated with agranulocytosis and bone marrow depression.
At least one other ACE inhibitor has been shown to cause agranulocytosis and bone marrow depression. This has only rarely been seen in patients with uncomplicated hypertension, and appears to be more likely in patients with renal insufficiency and/or collagen-vascular disease (such as systemic lupus erythematosus or scleroderma). Although there have been no reported instances of severe neutropenia (absolute neutrophil count < 500/mm3) among treated patients, monitoring of white blood cells should be considered for those patients at higher risk.
Hepatic side effects associated with the use of ACE inhibitors have included a rare syndrome that begins with cholestatic jaundice and progresses to fulminant hepatic necrosis and (sometimes) death. Experts recommend discontinuation of therapy with this drug if jaundice or markedly elevated hepatic serum enzymes develop.

By Burkely Hermann
I take a paperback book off my bookshelf with a silver background on the covers. The front is emblazoned with the words The Shock Doctrine: The Rise of Disaster Capitalism, which is by investigative journalist Naomi Klein. The fifth chapter in the book, while mainly focusing on the Friedmanite ideology that led to a free-market fundamentalist dictatorship led by American puppet General Pinochet, also looks into Amnesty International. Klein write that "the narrow scope is most problematic in Amnesty International's 1976 report on Argentina…for all its thoroughness, the report sheds no light on why the abuses are occurring…After the evidence is examined, the report concludes that the threat posed by left-wing guerrillas was in no way commensurate with the level of repression used by the state. But was there some other goal that made the violence "explicable or necessary"? Amnesty made no mention of it. In fact, in its ninety-two-page report, it made no mention that the junta was in the process of remaking the country along racially capitalist lines. It offered no comment on the deepening poverty or dramatic reversal of programs to redistribute wealth…It carefully lists all of the junta laws and decrees that violated civil liberties but named none of the economic decrees that lowered wages and increased prices…In another major omission, Amnesty presented the conflict as one restricted to the local military and the left-wing extremists. No other players are mentioned—not the U.S. Government or the CIA; not local landowners; not multinational corporations…Although Amnesty's reticence can be understood as an attempt to remain impartial amid the Cold War…there was…another factor at play: money…the most significant source of funding was the Ford Foundation, then the largest philanthropic organization in the world…most of Ford's academic grants did not betray a strong right-wing bias…but there were significant exceptions…the Ford Foundation was the…leading source of funding for the dissemination of the Chicago School ideology throughout Latin America…the Ford Foundation….played [a central role] in indoctrinating the country's current rulers in a fundamentalist sect of economics." This article is my investigation into the answer of a question that comes to my mind after reading this chapter: are human rights NGOs spreading capitalist propaganda? →

- Food the way you always dreamed it could beTopNotch10VIPDined on 11/26/2014On a rainy/snowy Wednesday before Thanksgiving, we wandered into Il Buco A&V. Seated at the bar table, we immediately were warmed by the atmosphere and by the open friendly welcome provided by Harry who also runs the bar. We made our lunch from a variety of appetizers and pasta. Fried artichokes, the amazing fried rabbit, mixed salad herbed with tarragon and buccatini cacio e pepe. A fab red wine by the glass completed the repast. This is our fourth time here and no matter what time of day, the quality, atmoosphere and service are just perfection. Thanks for all the hard work.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- A 2nd visit...OpenTable Diner Since 2012Dined on 11/25/2014This was my second visit to the Alimentari. (I had been previously for lunch.) The dinner scene on a Tuesday night was bustling, especially the later part of the evening. My friend and I shared four courses at one of the larger communal tables upstairs. (That stairwell could use some love - it's very industrially feeling.) The food and service were lovely. The gnocchi, ice creams and short ribs for 2 were particularly good. The portion of the short ribs was very generous. The leftovers were delicious for lunch the next day and the short rib bone they wrapped up for me made my roommates Thanksgiving stocks all the richer. Thanks!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- disappointingLIdinersVIPDined on 11/21/2014We had heard great things about this place and honestly it was diappointing. We were a party of four and were seated at a table for six with another couple. I know in the city it is tight but it was awkward honestly. We took the waiters advice and ordered three appys and two entrees. Two of the three appys were fine the third we did not like at all. It was literally one forkful for each of us. The entrees also did not dazzle. The short ribs which we heard is their signature dish were dry and very, very fatty. And the bronzino was a forkful or two for each of us. It was not nearly the right amount of food to order, we needed more for sure. We ordered a cappucino which never came but was on the bill. We had three drinks all total and the bill with tip was $410 which is high for only two entrees, even in NY. There are many great places for foodies in NY, this just didn't do it for us.

- Where's the rest?AnneMVIPDined on 11/10/2014The entree portions are so incredibly small. I ordered the gnochhi and it was beyond heaven, but there was barely enough to qualify it as a tapa let alone an entree that ran upwards of $20. I was in a group of 9, all ordering entrees, all incredibly disappointed with the portion size. The folks I was with were Swiss and Italian so I know it wasn't just my American eye that saw it as inadequate. My friend complained a couple times and they brought her additional food but, only her. Again, the food is amazing, but for what you pay not worth it.Special Features:
- A delightful findMelDinesDined on 11/9/2014Although our reservation was the last before the kitchen closed, the staff was still wonderfully attentive. Every dish we enjoyed was remarkable. The crispy artichokes were a favorite. Will definitely plan to return.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Max1950VIPDined on 11/6/2014Food was pretty good and very nice ambiance, but the din of noise was overwhelming. I could not hear the person next to me.
- Fantastic for 4 or more!DealguyVIPDined on 11/3/2014Excellent food, good wine, great service. However, this is the second time I've gone with two people, and both times they've sat me at the bar. Don't get me wrong, the bartenders are great servers. But there's zero privacy. It's extra noisy. And it's distracting. (Definitely avoid if you're on a date!) I love the food and service at Il Buco A&V, but I don't think I'll be back with fewer than 4 people.Special Features:
- delicious but noisydinermanDined on 11/1/2014We had eaten several times at sister restaurant, Il Buco, but couldn't get a last-minute Saturday reservation there, so tried this more casual place. Wonderful food and excellent waiter. Took a while to get seated after our reservation time (!0 PM), but we did show up with three people instead of two. Once were seated, everything was perfect. It is a busy place, so not for a romantic dinner. But big communal tables do work well for bigger parties.Special Features:
- Always worth the tripHRW212Dined on 11/1/2014Excellent Italian in a fun, energetic atmosphere and great service. I intend to return again very soon.Special Features:
- Carciofi fritti alla romanaAlePaquetVIPDined on 10/31/2014As Italian I don't go often to eat to Italian restaurants cause my high standards but at il buco alimentare you can find the same quality of Italy.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- DisappointingFood4ThoughtDined on 10/25/2014Made a reservation 3 weeks in advance for a nice dinner with my boyfriend. We were sat at a hightop table in the bar area with back-less stools as seats on a busy Saturday night. The table directly faced the bar area and with two people deep, navigating between the crowd and our table proved a little difficult for some as the table was knocked and rattled on a few occasions. Food was just okay. The artichoke appetizer was very good and the bread/olive oil served at the beginning were probably the best part of meal. My pasta was a little tough and just fine, nothing to rave about and I've certainly had better at less high profile places and less highly rated places. The mushroom appetizer was certainly not worth the $16 we paid.Special Features:
- Il Buco Alimentari remains great!BarbaraVIPDined on 10/25/2014Although it's crowded and you can hardly hear your companions speak, the ambiance is great and fun and the food is fantastic! We ordered two of the wild mushroom sides (cheesy, garlicy, yummy) and then another 2 (4 of us dining); salad was fresh and flavorful -- really exceptional; roast chicken is marinated and super tasty; 2 shared the short ribs which they loved; and my friend had the whole branzino which was moist and delicious. Even the desserts were superb -- panna cotta with aged balsamic; perfectly textured gelato; lemon sorbet was the weakest -- a bit too sweet/sour. No gluten free bread but, still we love this spot.Special Features:
- SpagDined on 10/25/2014I think the price of a glass of wine is a bit overprice for the small amount you get... Otherwise i really enjoyed the place which i like far more than Il Bucco on Bond street (good food but too pitch dark for me).Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Fit for foodiesSaltySlickDined on 10/18/2014I give my experience 4 out of 5 stars. The food was delicious--no guest should ever leave without trying the short ribs. We shared one pasta--Bucatini--it was heavenly. Both dishes had a rich melt in your mouth flavor. We were sat 30 min after arriving (even though we had a reservation.) This was quickly smoothed over by glasses of Prosecco and we appreciated that the hosts acknowledged our late seating. However, our server was very absent (she seemed busy and overwhelmed.) She was not helpful with recommendations and/or describing the menu, she was not warm/friendly, and left us feeling like we disappointed her in our choices and lack of ordering dessert.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Outstanding.........Hoffy5Dined on 10/18/2014When you step in to this place off of Great Jones Street its like stepping in to an Italian eatery in Rome. The food is outstanding, the menu authentic and the atmosphere is warm and friendly. The kitchen can be seen by patrons and presents itself nicely. Table seating for two is limited mostly to the bar which is cozy and well staffed. For larger parties there are ample 6-8 top tables. Everything about this place was outstanding....Special Features:

- Loved it!LoveDined on 10/18/2014The food was fantastic. The Pollo alla Griglia was possibly the most flavorful chicken I've ever eaten in my life. The gnocchi was good as well. Then desserts - we had 3 of them. Hands down the panna cotta drizzled with a 10 year balsamic was the best. However, we did manage to eat all 3 no problem.Special Features:
- Never fails to impress...dzvavinoDined on 10/17/2014This was my fourth visit to Il Buco, and it has been just outstanding each and every time. We were sat at the bar only diners, no drinkers standing around), and at first wished we had a table instead, the bar was an extremely comfortable place to sit, and the service (Lindsey) was terrific. The food is always great.Special Features:
- Very enjoyablecoreyman97VIPDined on 10/16/2014It was the perfect spot for a quick early dinner. Everything we ordered was very good - Ricotta, Artichokes, Cacio y Pepe and another pasta. We shared everything and were happy. Be advised that the plates are small and not cheap for the amount of food you get. However, the quality was worth it.Special Features:

Think it would be great. Enjoyed our breakfast. Definately worth a visit!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- So ItalianDingdangVIPDined on 10/11/2014We love this place...noisy , busy, and very Italian except no one is speaking Italian, otherwise you would think you were in Italy. Eclectic seating , great bread and olive oil. Yummy antipastos, porchetta to die for and good Branzino too....not to mention the crispy artichokes, grilled razor clams and other tempting appetizers. Espresso,is excellent...and should be....we will returnSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Hip, Vibrant and CharmingJavatraderVIPDined on 10/11/2014We came for Saturday brunch and the charm hits you as soon as you walk in. Nice wooden, cozy yet open interior. Bars to sit and eat at as well as tables. Great antipasti and charcuterie selections. Do not miss the ricotta or the prosciutto, both of which were fresh and out of this world. Pasta were cooked al dente and were perfect. Bread at the table was phenomenal. We had an olive oil tasting as well which was fun and delicious. Server was distracted and didn't seem like he wanted to be there but others walking around restaurant were attentive. Wine list was pretty good, fairly priced and Italian-centric. Will definitely be back.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great, festive, delicious.BabychinVIPDined on 10/8/2014A few things to note about this restaurant: 1) the food is excellent. 2)the wait staff is kind, helpful, enthusiastic about their food 3) the restaurant is LOUD -- if you're looking for fun and delicious, this is the place. If you're looking for quiet intimacy -- you should probably look elsewhere. I've been here before and I look forward to going back.Special Features:
- DeliciousFergusDined on 10/6/2014The food here is consistently delicious. The communal seating at some tables leaves you too far from your dinner companions but that's the only negative. Otherwise, delicious delicious delicious.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Nice Evening.MartinigirlVIPDined on 10/6/2014We were seated upstairs and it was the perfect place for our party as we wanted a room quiet enough to hold conversation. Food was interesting and fit our pescatarian crowd as there were many vegetarian and fish options. We shared all dishes. I felt the portions were a bit small. The beet dish was probably one small beet chopped up to look like more. The wine list was nice but I felt pricey for such a casual atmosphere. We did a bottle at $60 and one at $90. Overall I liked it but felt it was overpriced.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Tasty rustic Italian, lively envirokeeksDined on 10/4/2014Il Buco Alimentari is the more casual offshoot of Il Buco. It is very familiar (note that there are community tables) and serves rustic, tasty, delicious, well-prepared foods, no skimping on the oil. I had the cacio i pepe, and it was done very well, with lot of terrific aged parmesan, and very corsely ground pepper, pasta very al dente. Very authentic. A lively atmosphere, bordering on very loud. The service which was excellent.Special Features:
- Fun and RelaxingJerseygirlDined on 10/4/2014Enjoyed having a birthday celebration there greatly. Acknowledged when we were being seated by the hostess. She also remembered when I passes her by on leaving!!! Makes you feel extra special as so many other people had come in during that time. Great service - Our waiter Eric explained things well guiding us on how much to order and extra special dishes. Others there to fill water and clear off plates and silverware with each course made it feel special just as it was needed. Food excellent. Some of the portions were smaller than expected for the price but favors wonderful. Exceptional was the ricotta appetizer, the pasta's and the short ribs. The attention to detail is a tribute to the pride of ownership. Keep it up!!Special Features:
- Disappointedfoodie56VIPDined on 10/3/2014I had heard great things and I have been to il Buco but from the moment I walked in I was disappointed. The hostess was not very welcoming, the server took forever to take our orders once she served us water. The menu was limiting and nothing we ate was especially good. We had the crispy artichokes to start, the riso neri (risotto with black squid ink and calamari) and the cacio e pepe. Not many pasta offerings. They also charge you $1 pp for bread. I wouldn't go back or recommend it to anyone. It's a shame, it's a cute space and great location.

Shootout on Interstate 4 ends in fiery crash; 2 injured
Seminole County Fire Department is investigating a shooting on Interstate 4 Monday morning that ended with the vehicle igniting.
Fire officials said multiple shots were fired into a vehicle on I-4 east of Lake Mary just before 5 a.m. on Monday, causing the vehicle to catch fire.
Police said the driver suffered four gunshot wounds and is in serious condition at Orlando Regional Medical Center. The passenger was burned and also injured, according to police.
"It was a running gun battle so every shell casing that fell out on the road is part of this scene," said Lake Mary Officer Zach Hudson "So it's a very large scene, a very long scene and one that we're currently processing."
Two lanes on I-4 had to be shut down overnight as the shell casings were searched for.
Authorities are still investigating, with the search for another vehicle, only described as a silver car, ongoing.

The Nursery
We are a specialist perennial nursery which grows only plants which are hardy in our garden here in rural Yorkshire. As our plants are grown on site and come from stock plants in our gardens it follows if they are not hardy enough to come through the winter we won't have any material from which to propagate.
Our aim is not only to produce a very wide range (some 1,500 different perennial varieties, many of which are genuinely rare), but also to allow them to be viewed growing to their full potential in a traditional garden setting. Everything we sell can be viewed in our gardens.
Sorry - Two apologies :
i) As our range is being constantly updated with new lines we do not at the moment produce a catalogue since this would very quickly become out of date.
ii) Unfortunately we do not do mail order.

Based on the posting forwarded from Burke, I think we need to do this as a regional event (three sponsoring groups) and not as a Regional Champions event sponsored by one group. And, because Lyonesse is this weekend, followed immediately by a week of war (for those lucky ones who are going), let us get the details pounded out the week after our gallant warriors return from thrashing Trimaris. Sosha, I will talk to everybody I can at Lyonesse and let you know what kind of date we are looking at. I am under the impression that we do not need to get room on the Kingdom calendar for a regional event, only a Regional Champions event. Am I right in my interpretation of Burke's posting?

Palm Treo Pro Windows Mobile smartphone
The Good Book isn't big on things that are half one thing and half another, so the new Palm Treo Pro, which is both a run-of-the-mill Qwerty-keyboard equipped smartphone and a touchscreen handset, may be onto a sticky wicket. Like the man said: "Because thou art lukewarm, and neither hot nor cold, I will spit thee out." The Treo …
Looks Good...
....Certainly from reading that it seems as though it would be a far better handset than the Touch Diamonds we have in the office.
If i didn't have a Jesus Phone, i'd be quite tempted by that!
Got mine this week - but this review is wrong
...but the wife won't let me use it until Xmas. Meanwhile I'm still on my WM6 Pro 750v which IS a touchscreen device contrary to the opening paragraph in this review.
Another error is that you don't have to hold down option to type numbers or symbols. Just press once and then the next characters is a number/symbol. Press Option twice and it locks. Same with the Shift.
The phone is already out on Vodafone under the business section or upgrades. Got mine for £99 on a 18 month £16 a month contract. Or the wife's contract rather hence no serious playing with the thing until Xmas.
3g or not 3g
"Palm hasn't given the Pro a forward facing video camera though in the real world this is hardly a major oversight. Does anyone ever actually make 3G video calls?"
Apparently you need that for video conferencing, as mentioned in the Reg review of the iphone 3G:
"And despite the 3G upgrade, there's no front-facing camera for video conferencing."
Mines the one with the Jesus phone in the pocket, I swear you can see the virgin Mary weeping in the default wallpaper.

November 27, 2014
CLEVELAND (AP) - Police in Cleveland say they've found no evidence suggesting three dogs were tied up on a railroad track or two of them were killed by a train, as they initially believed.
Authorities are now unsure whether it happened it all.
Cleveland police say an animal control officer told officers about the dogs after he spoke with a railroad worker who said he witnessed a dog being tied to the tracks. The worker also said someone appeared to take photographs or a video.
A police commander said Monday all they know now is one dog narrowly missed being hit by a train. But it's unclear if the dog had been tied to the tracks.
Reports of the dog deaths last week outraged animal welfare groups.

Earl Norris,78, is accused of assaulting two Iowa law enforcement officers Friday. They were investigating stolen manhole covers and sewer grates found at his scrap yard north of Council Bluffs.
Norris denied the charges. "Why would I want to hurt anybody cause you know them people got you beat before you start."
Pottawattamie County Sheriff Jeff Danker said, "He shoved one officer and then was able to throw a rim at the other." One is an investigator for Iowa Division of Criminal Investigation and the other a Deputy Sheriff.
Neither suffered an injury.
They had been investigating the discovery of 23,000 pounds of iron that belongs to taxpayers. The iron includes 24 manhole covers from the City of Omaha. Each cost $200 with the rings for installation in streets.
Manhole covers from Council Bluffs and Iowa Department of Transportation were also recovered along with sewer grates. The Omaha police detective on the case Bill Fell reports 137 pieces of iron seized.
Investigators said they'd have to prove the scrap yard owner knew he was accepting stolen iron to charge him. Earl Norris said he didn't know it. "When it goes by the scale -- if they got it buried in a load you wouldn't even see it."
Norris estimates he paid $3,100 for the iron that turned out to be stolen manhole covers and sewer grates. On Monday that type of iron was going for $230 a ton at scrap yards.

(Min 3 characters)
In the early 19th century priests from the Monmouth mission visited parts of the Forest of Dean (fn. 5) and a few people in the Lydbrook area
were members of a Roman Catholic congregation at Courtfield, across the Wye in Welsh
Bicknor (Mon., later Herefs.). (fn. 6) Later Catholics
from the Forest also heard mass at Gloucester,
Chepstow (Mon.), Monmouth, Ross-on-Wye
(Herefs.), or Hereford, and most priests active
in the Forest had parishes to the west. J. B.
Chard, priest at Gloucester from 1894, was an
occasional visitor. In 1915 a chapel dedicated to
SS. Mary and Claudia was opened at Lydbrook.
Used for occasional masses, said by a priest from
Courtfield, in the early 1930s, it had closed by
1938. (fn. 7) Lydbrook Catholics continued to attend
the Courtfield chapel after the Second World
War. (fn. 8)
From 1930, when a Roman Catholic mission
covering the Forest was established at Coleford,
mass was said in a hotel in Cinderford. The
mission to Cinderford was served by priests
from Ross-on-Wye in 1935 (fn. 9) and by priests from
Blaisdon Hall in 1938. (fn. 10) Later in 1938 Cinderford became a separate mission and a room of a house was converted as an oratory, and in 1939
a church was built in Flaxley Street. Designed
by the Liverpool firm of Badger and Hutton, it
was dedicated to Our Lady of Victories (fn. 11) and
was given a parish including Lydney and
Mitcheldean. In 1992 it had an average congregation of 90, drawn from Cinderford,
Newnham, Ruardean, and other places in the
north of the parish. (fn. 12) The presbytery west of the
church was built after 1959. (fn. 13)
In 1939 the Sisters of Hope, who belonged to
the Sisters of the Holy Family, purchased Abbotswood in Ruspidge for a convent and a
nursing home. The nuns apparently gave up
their nursing work in 1956 and the convent had
closed by 1959. (fn. 14) In 1960 the Franciscan Sisters
of the Immaculate Conception established a
convent and a school in a house in Cinderford
next to the church of Our Lady of Victories.
Their educational work in Cinderford continued
in 1992. (fn. 15)

United Airlines is keeping the grounded Boeing 787 off its schedule through June 5.
Investigators are still trying to figure out what caused a battery fire and another battery problem last month.
United spokeswoman Christen David says the plane could still fly earlier than that if a fix is found. At that point, it would be used as needed around United's system.
United says flights from Denver to Tokyo's Narita airport that were supposed to start on March 31 will be postponed at least until May 12. If the 787 isn't ready to go by May 12, United says it will begin the Denver-to-Tokyo flights once the 787 is ready.
The world's fleet of 50 787s has been grounded since Jan. 16

Hi Duffy
Are you setting up choc factory to produce couverture in UK?
Am managing for the next few months but eventually want to go organic (my distributors prefer it) May be something in the future/next year if you are setting up? Always keen to work with smaller companies!! Please Keep me posted, I should have my hand on some raw Peruvian nibs by then too!
9:30 am
January 4, 2009
Hi ChocHeart,
That's the plan. I have ordered the machines and am looking for premises now. Small scale – partly out of financial necessity and partly so that I can make different varieties very quickly and in amounts that people need when they need it. Flexibility and quality…hopefully! Bit daunting.
2:43 pm
January 4, 2009
Hi ChocHeart,
I now have premises which I will be fitting out over the next month or so. I also have a source for Fairtrade organic Peruvian cocoa and will be producing a small couple of sample batchs once my machine arrives in October. Could you let me know how you like your couverture? Dark/milk/strong/mild etc etc.

Hi Duffy
Here is my email: email@example.com, it would be good to find out more about your prices (I am getting pressurised on pricing as is everyone in this recession! Before you produce samples be worth sending me over a ballpark!)
I like my couverture dairy free but virtually impossible to get guarantees these days! I prefer mild/fruity and dark c 64-70% cocoa content. Prefer cane sugar over processed, but depends on impact on price!

Is It Ok To Give Water To My 3 Month Old?
by Amanda
My three month old wants to suck on a bottle about every hour. I know he is not hungry so I was wondering if he can have a small amount of water? Can it be harmful in anyway?
Baby Help Line Response:
Water To Infant - Yes Or No
Yes, you can give some water to your 3 month old as long as it doesn't make him eat too little and it is just a little bit of water.
Giving him a small amount of water instead of the breast or formula if he wants to suck that often might be an efficient way to teach him to settle without the sucking (doesn't taste as good). You may also want to try a pacifier.
However, if the frequent feeding is something he has been doing only for a short while, it might be that he is in a growth spurt and is working hard to increase your supply of milk (or formula). In such case, offering him water instead of the breast will be counter productive. Your supply will not increase and he will continue to want to suck often, simply because he is hungry.
So if you do think it can be a growth spurt, wait for a few days with the water if you do breast feed and maybe combine with giving him some more formula if he is only bottle fed.
Also remember to give him clean water and only in small amounts (like a table spoon). Depending on the quality of your tap water, if you plan to use it, ask a health care provider in your area if you should boil it.
The reason you should not give your baby large amounts of water, is that it can result in water intoxication - i.e. that the sodium balance of your baby becomes affected. This happens more easily before a baby starts with solid foods, since the only sodium available to the baby is through the breast milk or formula. (Read more about water intoxication among the comments below)
Hope this helps!

Voting Is Now Open For The Defensive Play Of The YearPosted by on April 1, 2010 – 10:07 am
Before we look at the Defensive Play of the Year candidates, let's quickly take a look back at the voting for the Special Teams Play of the Year, which wrapped up yesterday.
As expected, rookie Percy Harvin claimed the award, though in terms of which of Harvin's 2 kick return TDs last season won the award, the voting was as close as could be. Both his returns — one vs. the 49ers and the other against the Steelers — accounted for 43 percent of the vote, but the return vs. San Francisco won out by just a handful of votes. As we said in the vikings.com article, the odds of Harvin dominating this category for several years are pretty high.
Now we move onto the Defensive Play of the Year voting. Despite the fact that the Vikings defense was solid last year, they only scored one defensive TD (a Jared Allen fumble recovery against the Rams) and didn't have a bunch of highlight reel-type plays, especially in contrast with the offense.
Fans can view the nominees in full here, watch a highlight video of the nominees here, and then head over to the vikings.com homepage to cast your vote via the fan poll which is located in the bottom-right part of the page.
Next week, the voting for the Offensive Play of the Year will commence, and it's tough to envision anything other than Brett Favre's TD pass to Greg Lewis vs. the 49ers claiming said award, though plays such as Adrian Peterson's TD romp against the Browns in the season-opener and Sidney Rice's game-tying TD grab in Chicago against the Bears will certainly give the Favre-to-Lewis connection a run for its money.

Personally I liked AP's Brownie Romp better. It was awesome watching him toss those cupcakes all over the field while racing into the endzone. I really thought we were going to see plays like that from Adrian all year long, but unfortunately that was not the case.

Correction note: The fumble return for touchdown by Jared Allen was against the Rams.

China's Major Online Video Sites Join MPA To Launch Pro-Legitimate Campaign
MPA and U.S. Embassy Galvanize Support for Legitimate Online Business Models At Ambassador's Annual Roundtable on IPR Protection
- 12Apr 2012
Singapore/Beijing – On April 11, as part of U.S. Ambassador Gary Locke's Roundtable on Intellectual Property Rights (IPR) Protection, the Motion Picture Association (MPA) together with major Chinese online video sites Youku, Sohu, iQiyi, and LeTV unveiled a "Thank You" video featuring nearly 100 of China's leading actors and filmmakers.
Heeding a call from the MPA, China's film community turned out in droves to deliver personal messages of thanks to the sites' hundreds of millions of users and a call for support of legitimate online screen content – with the full backing of China's burgeoning online video industry.
"Congratulations to everyone involved in this initiative. After many years of outreach to promote the protection of content online, we are now witnessing an increasingly promising online video business environment in China," said Mike Ellis, President and Managing Director of MPA Asia Pacific. "Promoting and protecting the creative community in China is also about building businesses and supporting opportunities for growth so that creators can focus on developing ideas and products that meet consumer demand. It is indeed extremely encouraging to see the Chinese film community directly engaging fellow citizens in the online community to do the right thing."
"The fight against online video piracy has come a long way. We are thankful to MPA for playing a constructive role in bringing the content industry and new media companies together," said Charles Zhang, Chairman and founder of Sohu.com. "Copyright protection offers a win-win for all. But ultimately, consumers benefit the most from a piracy-free environment that enables online video distributors like Sohu to provide the best quality content and service to meet their needs."
This year the MPA joined industry advocacy group United States Information Technology Organization (USITO) to organize the IPR Roundtable. The event drew more than 200 government officials and industry representatives to raise awareness and support for IPR in the digital age. In his opening remarks, Ambassador Locke urged the government and industry to join forces to create an IPR environment that allows businesses to thrive.
"It is essential we protect the intellectual property of the film industry (and all industries' intellectual property rights) because without protection for the underlying intellectual property, the best artistic and other achievements that society produces would never come to realization. Failure to protect these industries' intellectual property will have serious negative consequences for the U.S. economy and other economies, such as China's, that are working to enhance their cultural production. That is why I chose to focus this year's IPR Roundtable on "online issues and new challenges" because this not simply an American issue – protecting intellectual property is a shared concern for all those economies which wish to benefit from the strength of their intellectual resources, which are increasingly dependent on the Internet or online media for communication and transmission," said Ambassador Locke.
The IPR Roundtable was an initiative first organized in 2002 by the U.S. Embassy in China as a platform for dialogue between the Chinese government and international rights owners to address rampant IP infringement in China.
Now in its 10th year, the roundtable has since evolved to emphasize raising public awareness of legitimate business models and garnering government support for IP development in China. This year's event will include keynote speeches from Ambassador Gary Locke, Vice Minister of Commerce Chong Quan, Commissioner Tian Lipu of the State Intellectual Property Office (SIPO), Vice Minister Yan Xiaohong of the National Copyright Administration of China (NCAC), and U.S. Patent Trademark Office Deputy Director Teresa Rea, along with industry representatives including Charles Zhang, Chairman and founder of Sohu.com.
The growing popularity of the Internet – globally and within China – presents some of the entertainment industry's biggest opportunities and challenges. At 513 million, there are more Internet users in China than the entire population of the United States, according to official data released by the China Internet Network Information Center (CINIC) in late 2011. These users represent 38.3% of China's entire population of 1.3 billion. An Internet penetration rate on par with the United States (about 75%) would see the number of China Internet users soar to just below a billion users.Download File (PDF)

Dr. Robin LeBlanc's Ratings
While I believe Dr. LeBlanc to be an excellent ENT doctor, I was absolutely not impressed with his staff. My appointment was incorrectly booked his office for the wrong date and the receptionist was neither apologetic nor helpful.

He was running late with appointments, but was very personable and thorough . Would highly recommend.

Dr. LeBlanc is absolutely in the right profression - he was outstanding. He was personable, kind, patient and delievered information in a helpful and through manner. He is extremely knowlegible and is able to impart the information to the patient very effectivley. He was authoritative but not at all offensive - it was in the best manner and was most reassuring and appreciated, he put my mind at ease right out of the gate. I got into this appointment quickly - due to a cancellation - and I could not have been happier and my expectations were exceeded. Dr. LeBlanc seems to really enjoy what he does and it comes through in a very pleasant manner. I would not hesitate to reccommend him to anyone and it is even worth the drive across the bridge to Dartmouth - parking is easy too!

Dr Leblanc is an amazing doctor!I had taken my son to see an ENT in the past who just of brushed off the fact that my son had 18 ear infections by 17 months old. Dr Leblanc took it very seriously and my son is finally getting tubes in his ears tomorrow! Superman he is!

Dr Leblanc is awesome. I am the lead singer in a local cover band and have had several appts over the last few years to have throat and vocal cords monitored.

I saw Dr. Leblanc in 2002 for a surgery on my nose when I was a teenager and thought he was great. Just went back 8 years later and couldn't believe the difference. He wasn't at all helpful, was rushing me, and made me feel like I was imagining things. My mom went to him recently too for a potentially very serious problem, and he was rude to her too.

One of the most lethal patches of ground in North America is located in the backwoods of North Carolina, where Shearon Harris nuclear plant is housed and owned by Progress Energy. The plant contains the largest radioactive waste storage pools in the country. It is not just a nuclear-power-generating station, but also a repository for highly radioactive spent fuel rods from two other nuclear plants. The spent fuel rods are transported by rail and stored in four densely packed pools filled with circulating cold water to keep the waste from heating. The Department of Homeland Security has marked Shearon Harris as one of the most vulnerable terrorist targets in the nation.
The threat exists, however, without the speculation of terrorist attack. Should the cooling system malfunction, the resulting fire would be virtually unquenchable and could trigger a nuclear meltdown, putting more than two hundred million residents of this rapidly growing section of North Carolina in extreme peril. A recent study by Brookhaven Labs estimates that a pool fire could cause 140,000 cancers, contaminate thousands of square miles of land, and cause over $500 billion in off-site property damage.
The Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) has estimated that there is a 1:100 chance of pool fire happening under the best of scenarios. And the dossier on the Shearon Harris plant is far from the best. In 1999 the plant experienced four emergency shutdowns. A few months later, in April 2000, the plant's safety monitoring system, designed to provide early warning of a serious emergency, failed. And it wasn't the first time. Indeed, the emergency warning system at Shearon Harris has failed fifteen times since the plant opened in 1987.
In 2002 the NRC put the plant on notice for nine unresolved safety issues detected during a fire prevention inspection by NRC investigators. When the NRC returned to the plant a few months later for reinspection, it determined that the corrective actions were "not acceptable." Between January and July of 2002, Harris plant managers were forced to manually shut down the reactors four times. The problems continue with chilling regularity. In the spring of 2003 there were four emergency shutdowns of the plant, including three over a four-day period. One of the incidents occurred when the reactor core failed to cool down during a refueling operation while the reactor dome was off of the plant-a potentially catastrophic series of circumstances.
Between 1999 and 2003, there were twelve major problems requiring the shutdown of the plant. According to the NRC, the national average for commercial reactors is one shutdown per eighteen months. Congressman David Price of North Carolina sent the NRC a report by scientists at MIT and Princeton that pinpointed the waste pools as the biggest risk at the plant. "Spent fuel recently discharged from a reactor could heat up relatively rapidly and catch fire," wrote Bob Alvarez, a former advisor to the Department of Energy and co-author of the report. "The fire could well spread to older fuel. The long-term land contamination consequences of such an event could be significantly worse than Chernobyl."

Chiropractors, although still being considered by authorities as complementary doctors, are now highly recommended to treat various neuromuscular conditions. They have undergone proper training as well as education to legally offer their services. Nevertheless, it is important to know when you should and should not avail of chiropractic medicine South Bend.
Chiropractors are somehow divided into two groups. The first one call themselves the straight chiropractors.

Melissa rubber brogues from Browns
Rubber brogues might seem like a weird idea but in fact they make the perfect festival shoe, they're waterproof, two-tone and feature brogue detailing... What more could you want? Provided your festival isn't completely washed out Melissa's brogues (£50) will be miles better than printed wellies (so over it!) and Hunters (too try hard).
Team them with cosy woolly tights for warmth when the sun goes down and a two-tone dress with a Peter Pan collar for a Broadway-inspired outfit that will turn heads.

- July 25th, 2012
Every so often I'm reminded why I live in a small town.
The mass shooting in Aurora, Colo., on Friday, July 20, followed by a trip down to Phoenix the next day made me happy to return to my slow-paced lifestyle and familiar faces.
While murder and even mass murder doesn't only happen in big cities — I've seen "Alaska: Ice Cold Killers" on the Discovery Channel — the probability lessens with a smaller population size.
There are also fewer places for such incidents to occur.
Yes, we have movie theaters, parks and shopping plazas, but we have fewer presenting less opportunity.
Friday's horrific events kicked off a weekend of realization and recognition of what I value.
With the killings still fresh in my mind, we headed down to Phoenix the next day to see friends and attend a birthday party.
I don't even have to be in Phoenix to be happy I don't live there.
Before we came close to entering the city the traffic thickened and people began cutting each other off, traveling what must be 15 to 20 miles per hour over the speed limit and all the while wearing stressful scowls on their faces.
When we enter any city traffic, my husband tells me to read my magazine.
Once at the party, I again feel comfortable seeing familiar faces in a familiar setting forgetting about the bustling city around us.
Later, a haboob approaches, and we all pile into the front yard to watch the dust cloud.
All we can see around us are houses and a cloud of dust.
The mountains aren't visible. We don't get to watch the storm come down the canyon like we do up here.
The next day we head back to our paradise, sad to leave friends but with a rekindled appreciation for where we live.
That afternoon we sat out on the back patio, listened to the quiet and watched a monsoon storm roll over the red rocks and mountains. All we could see from our home was an open field and miles and miles of pure natural beauty.
Give me a sense of safety, give me breathtaking beauty and give me fewer people to deal with over shopping malls, events galore and endless congestion any day.
