Welcome to the latest edition of "Profiting with Pizza Toppings." At PizzaMarketplace.com, we constantly strive to provide readers with the most accurate and up-to-date information; therefore, we revisit our special publications annually to make sure they continue to provide the highest possible level of value.
In this guide, there are several updates and a host of new information.
To make a good pizza, it's necessary to have dough, sauce and cheese. But to make a pizzeria a success, great toppings are needed. Unlike the past, when pepperoni, sausage, mushroom and green peppers were the only choices, today's toppings reflect the cultural diversity that characterizes the United States. These days, pizzas are regularly topped with everything from Latin-American chorizo sausage to Asian influenced teriyaki chicken.
Franchising grew the pizza industry and delivery made it unique. Over the years, pizza has evolved into the ultimate customizable food, and today's pizzeria can transform dough, sauce, cheese and a dozen or so topping choices into innumerable dining options, with something on the menu to please nearly any palate.
While most customers still cling to the tried-and-true choices of old, operators are demonstrating that when offered variety, customers will try something new. Unique toppings generate a buzz in customers' mouths and in their conversations. In other words, give them something tasty, and they'll talk about it.
This guide is a tool for the business side of pizza. Chapter 2 provides simple, mathematical instructions on standardizing toppings amounts for every size of pizza, while Chapter 5 covers safe food handling.
Chapter 6 outlines USDA specifications for different meats and their composition, while Chapter 10 provides tips and techniques for incorporating organic and sustainable products into a pizzeria menu.
Yes, toppings exist to add taste, but that taste can't be taken to the bank unless an operator knows how to use and sell toppings effectively.
Bottom line: This guide is an information tool for operators. It tracks today's toppings trends and examines their history. It details the ingredients of authentic Italian sausage and looks at whether fully cooked or raw toppings are best for an operation. In essence, it provides the same things toppings provide to customers: options, which lead to decisions and dollars.
PizzaMarketplace.com would like to thank Burke Corp., a fully cooked toppings manufacturer in Nevada, Iowa, for sponsoring this guide. The company's generosity brings this guide to you at no cost.

INTRODUCTION ****************************************************************************** Welcome, Hogwarts students! Welcome to my FAQ/Walkthrough for LEGO Harry Potter: Years 1-4! In this guide, you'll find the means to navigate the complex Wizarding world, and pass your first four years of Hogwarts with flying colors, also known as the "whimsical" years, before it all got real. Also found in this guide are tips on how to find all those elusive collectibles, as well as bios on all the characters, lists of extras, secret codes, etc. So, wands out, because we're going on a magical adventure! ****************************************************************************** 2. FAQ ****************************************************************************** Q: What is LEGO Harry Potter: Years 1-4? A: This is a LEGO-styled action game released in June of 2010 based around the first four Harry Potter books/films. Q: What is the ESRB rating of this game? A: This game is rated E10+, with the added descriptors of Cartoon Violence and Crude Humor. Q: Would this game be good for my kids? A: Absolutely. All violence is done towards LEGO bricks, so there's no blood, and all "dismemberment" is taken in a humorous stride. You'll find nothing more objectionable or scary than in the Harry Potter films. As far as positive aspects of the game towards kids, the gameplay is focused on exploration, discovery, and critical thinking. The co-operative gameplay style and forgiving difficulty is also a plus, as they allow parents and kids alike to play together to solve the puzzles. Q: How many people can play? Can I play online with others? A: Two, and no. Q: Does this game more closely follow the books or movies? A: The movies, in general. The thing many people will notice first is the soundtrack, taken directly from the films. Q: Can I save in the middle of a Story Event? A: Unfortunately, no. You must complete a Story Event and be returned to the main Hogwarts hub before your game will be saved. On the other hand, while in the main Hogwarts areas, or at the Leaky Cauldron, you can stop at any time by selecting "Leaky Cauldron" from the pause menu (while at Hogwarts), and then while at the Cauldron, selecting "Quit Game". This action will save your progress. Your progress is also automatically saved whenever you complete a Story Event or find a major collectible. You'll know the game is saving whenever you see Harry's head appear in the lower left corner. Q: I played as a character in a Story Event. Why can't I use him/her? A: Because that's not how it works in this game. You need to find Character Tokens before you will be allowed to purchase and use them. Q: What can I do with objects with red sparkles? A: You need a character that knows Dark Magic. Most of them, you'll know they have it because they have access to Avada Kedavra in their Spell Wheel, but some don't have AK. They are actually somewhat tough to come by, as getting most of those characters requires already having dark magic, but Lucius Malfoy only needs someone with Reducto, so he's probably the easiest. Q: I found a glitch in my game! Can I complain to you about it? A: NO. If you have a legitimate problem with the game AND what I describe for how to beat that certain area is completely not working, then please contact Traveller's Tales and explain the problem. Be absolutely sure what I've described is not working before doing so, because you honestly just might be doing it wrong. Q: Are you telling me there's no way out of the Charms Class Basement if I get stuck? A: Well, a fellow named "JonTT" (TT perhaps stands for Traveller's Tales) discovered this method, which may work for you: http://twitpic.com/2560ve ****************************************************************************** 3. BASICS ****************************************************************************** ============== 3A. Controls = ============== General Controls - Left Analog Stick: Move your character. Right Analog Stick: Move the camera. X Button: Jump. Square Button: Attack. - For Muggles or Squibs, this is simply some kind of physical attack. - For magic-using characters, this will shoot sparks out of their wand. Hold down Square and move the Control Stick to target your attack. You'll see a green circle around anything that you can strike when you pass the cursor over it. - Holding down the Square Button can also use whatever appropriate spell is necessary for the target. For example, if your target reacts to Leviosa, hold Square while targeting it and you will cast it. This works even if you don't have Levios as your Active Spell. Circle Button: Active Spell. Whichever spell your characters has active, they will cast it. Some spells require you to have a proper target Triangle Button: Shift Focus. - Tapping Triangle will change your focus to another nearby character. - Holding down Triangle will bring up the "Spell Wheel" on characters that can use magic, allowing them to switch to a different active spell. L1 and R1 Buttons: Quick-change Active Spell. Also used during Free Play to change characters. L2 and R2 Buttons: Quick-change Active Spell. This is not affected on Free Play. Start Button: Brings up Pause Menu. Controls can slightly change depending on your situation. If something specific changes per an event, I'll mention it in the walkthrough. ==================== 3B. Menus/Displays = ==================== Main Menu - New Game: Start a new game. Load Game: Load a previously saved game. Options: Opens Options Menu. --- Options Menu - Music: Toggle music on/off. Audio Volume: Adjust the volume of the audio. Brightness: Adjust the screen's brightness Screen V-Sync: Adjusts V-Sync, whatever that is. Motion Blur: With this on, movement will result in a motion blur. --- Pause Menu - Resume: Get back to the game. Options: Opens Options Menu. Extras: Opens Extras menu, where you can select any extras you've purchased. Exit: Return to Hogwarts if in a Story Event or to the Leaky Cauldron if in Hogwarts. ================ 3C. Hints/Tips = ================ Blast freakin' everything. Lay waste to the area and rack up an awesome stud total. If you find an open area, just start shooting sparks in random directions and see what falls apart. Remember your spells, too. Especially Leviosa. You can get some good studs from putting stuff together. Studs are available in four denominations, each worth a different multiple of ten: Silver - 10 Gold - 100 Blue - 1000 Purple - 10000 Studs can be hidden in the darnedest of areas. Make sure to check behind things, including the "front wall". You'll never know what could be hidden there until you check, because the camera angle sure won't let you know. ****************************************************************************** 4. THE WORLD OF MAGIC ****************************************************************************** The Wizarding World is chock full of mystical and whimsical stuff to use to affect the world around you. Here is a compilation of all the things you can do and learn. ================= 4A. Spell Wheel = ================= Accessed by holding down Triangle and changed by pressing the L or R buttons, the Spell Wheel is your character's bank for their abilities. Not all these abilities are proper spells; sometimes they're just magical items. Many are learned by progressing through the story events. Others can be purchased from Wiseacre's Wizarding Equipment in Diagon Alley. Keep in mind that certain spells will only work with certain characters. Wingardium Leviosa - The most basic spell in the game, apart from sparks shooting. This spell allows you to manipulate your environment. Any object that can have Leviosa cast upon it will have a purple aura surrounding it when you target it. Many objects just require you to hold down the button and they will be manipulated on their own, but a few will require you to do the moving yourself, which is done with the Left Analog Stick. - Can be used by most anyone in the game that has magic powers. You'll first get exposure to it when controlling Hagrid in the first Story Event. All students will learn it following the first Charms class. Scabbers - This summons Ron's pet rat, Scabbers, who will then be controlled by the player. Scabbers can crawl into small pipes along the walls to reach things humans can't. - Only Ron can use Scabbers, up until Year Three. Lumos - This spell creates a ball of light at the tip of the character's wand. It can be used to light up a dark area, but also to repel large growths of vines. Activate Lumos, then walk up to the creepers to make them shrink away. - All students learn this in the second Charms class after the "Out of the Dungeons" Story Event. Lumos Solem - An upgrade to the basic Lumos, this allows one to direct a shot of sunlight. This is specifically useful against the smaller focused Devil's Snare that seems to live within gold circles. - All students learn this in their first Herbology class after the "Out of the Dungeons" Story Event. Adult magic-users can already use it. Invisibility Cloak - A cloak that used to belong to his father, Harry receives this as a Christmas present during his first year. Wearing the cloak makes Harry completely invisible, but does make him move more slowly. He can use the cloak to sneak past people blocking his way, like prefects. - Harry gets this cloak following the "A Jinxed Broom" Story Event. Transfiguration - This base-level spell allows the caster to turn his target into a small animal for a short time. It's not particularly useful in the grand scheme of things. - All students can learn this in their first year not as a part of the story, but as a sidequest. In the Classrooms Hall area of Hogwarts (the area that leads to the Potions class), there's a prefect blocking a flight of stairs. Sneak past him with the Cloak on and you can enter the classroom. Immobilus - The Freezing Charm is used within the confines of this game as a means of trapping and dispelling Pixies. Pixies are little blue winged things, and you'll generally find them holding items out of reach. Cast this spell at them once to entrap them, then again to defeat them. - All students will learn this in their second year in a Defense Against the Dark Arts class after they learn Mandrake Handling. Adult magic-users can already use it. Expelliarmus - The Disarming Charm is used to knock a foe's weapon out of his hands. In the context of this game, it's really not used for much, not when shooting regular sparks is just as useful for defeating enemies. - All students will learn this in their second year in the Great Hall's Dueling Club after the Story Event "Dobby's Plan". Adult magic-users can already use it. Crookshanks - Hermione buys this cat (who is actually half-Kneazle, a magical creature) at the beginning Year Three. Crookshanks serves as a combination of Scabbers and Fang, in that he can climb up pipes on the wall and dig in the ground. - Only Hermione can use Crookshanks starting at Year Three. Riddikulus - This is a specific charm used in defense against a boggart. A boggart is a magical creature that has no form until it sees someone, whereby it takes the form of that person's worst fear. Using Riddikulus will cause the boggart to adopt a humorous appearance and defeat it. - Every student EXCEPT for Harry learns this in Year Three following the "News From Azkaban" Story Event. Adult magic-users can already use this. - Also, just for kicks, it's worth mentioning that many characters have specific views of boggarts and corresponding Riddikulus. Most characters will see Lord Voldemort, after the charm they'll see him as a mewling baby. Here are some specifics: Harry: Dementor (no Riddikulus) Ron: Giant Spider (falls over on rollerskates) Hermione: McGonagall telling her she's failed everything (presents her the House Cup) Neville Longbottom: Professor Snape (in his grandmother's clothes) Parvati and Padma Patil: Cobra (Jack in the box) Professor Lupin: Full Moon (floats away like a balloon) Lord Voldemort: Harry (dead Harry) Expecto Patronum - The Patronus charm is an advanced spell that conjures up a person's positive feelings and uses them as a weapon, specifically against dementors. In advanced stages, it will manifest itself in the form of an animal that represents its caster. - As far as students are concerned, only Harry will learn the Patronus Charm, after the "Mischief Managed" Story Event. Adult magic-users can already use this. Yes, even dark magic users. Reducto - The Reductor Curse is a destructive spell that breaks things apart. In the game, it is used against shiny objects as a more powerful destructive spell. - All students learn this in Year Four after the "Dragons" Story Event. Adult magic-users can already use this. Trevor - This is Neville Longbottom's toad, which is honestly not particularly useful, but it does have Scabbers-like qualities, in that he can crawl around pipes. - Only Neville Longbottom can use Trevor. Animagus - Certain magic-users have mastered Transfiguration to the point where they can change into animal form. This animal form allows them talents that are unavailable to them as humans. The following characters are Animagi and can change: - Professor McGonagall can turn into a cat (crawl through pipes and digging) - Sirius Black can turn into a dog (digging) - Peter Pettigrew can turn into a rat (crawl through pipes) - Rita Skeeter can turn into a bettle (crawl through pipes) Avada Kedavra - The worst of the three Unforgivable Curses, the Killing Curse manifests as a great flash of green light that, once it hits its target, causes instant death. Only one person has ever survived the curse: Harry Potter, when he was one year old. - Only dark magic users have access to this curse. The specific characters who can use it are Lucius Malfoy, Death Eater, Macnair, Barty Crouch Junior, Professor Quirrell (Voldemort), Tom Riddle, and Lord Voldemort. --- This next list of spells are ones you can buy from Wiseacre's Wizarding Equipment in Diagon Alley. I'll say right at the outset that none of these spells are necessary to beat the game, and most of them aren't even that useful. For all spells but the last one, these will be go into your "red" spell slot (the same one occupied by Transfiguration and Expelliarmus). When you have your red spell as the active one, the spells will cycle about every second through a list, and whichever icon is visible on display will be the one cast. Most of these are in place just for a laugh. I WILL say however, that if you're going for trophies, it might be a good idea to buy Glacius first and only Glacius. There is a trophy associated with freezing 20 people with this spell, and it's far simpler to have it on a short rotation list rather than a long one. Slugulus Eructo - Price: 500,000 This will cause the recipient to stop for a moment to puke up a slug. Multicorfors - Price: 50,000 This will change the color of the victim's shirt. Rictusempra - Price: 65,000 This is a ticklng charm that will cause the victim to break out in laughter. Entomorphis - Price: 80,000 This hex turns the victim into an insect-like person for a short time. Tarantallegra - Price: 75,000 This jinx is used to cause the victim's legs to start dancing uncontrollably. Locomotor Mortis - Price: 30,000 This jinx ties up the victim's legs. Redactum Skullus - Price: 10,000 This hex shrinks the victim's head. Colovaria - Price: 75,000 This spell removes the victim's hair. Calvorio - Price: 20,000 This spell changes the victim's hair color and style. Anteoculatia - Price: 95,000 This jinx turns a person's hair into antlers. Herbifors - Price: 15,000 This spell causes flowers to sprout from a person's head. Glacius - Price: 110,000 This spell encases its victim in ice. Incarcerous - Price: 100,000 This spell ties up victim's body in ropes. Flipendo - Price: 125,000 This charm completely flips over its victim. Trip Jinx - Price: 40,000 This jinx causes the recipient to trip and fall over. Stupefy - Price: 150,000 The Stunning Spell is used to daze its victim for a moment. Engorgio Skullus - Price: 10,000 This hex swells up its victim's head. Accio - Price: 4,000,000 The Summoning Charm is unique among the rest of these spells. Not only is it the most expensive thing you can buy, but it actually replaces Wingardium Leviosa. It also has a slight bit of use in the game. If you target a potion component lying on the ground, you will summon it to your hand, saving you a walk. You can't just target any item, mind you; just ingredients for potions. ==================== 4B. Passive Skills = ==================== These are talents that do not need to be actively selected. Your character will have an inherent ability and you can use that character to apply that ability. Many of these are relatively unique to certain characters. Also in this list are potions: Potions are based around cauldrons that pop up all over the Hogwarts campus. In order to use any potion, you first must collect the requisite ingredients. Models of those ingredients can be seen floating around the cauldron itself, and the ingredients can ALWAYS be found in the same area as the cauldron, although you may not always have the means to get to them right away. --- Student Access - You know, I didn't even consider this the first time writing the guide, but this is technically a skill to be concerned about. Students in Hogwarts have access only to their own Common Room. If you wish to access a different Common Room, you'll need to use the Polyjuice Potion to change into a student of that House. This is further implemented in certain places where you'll find portraits that only react to students of a certain House. - Gryffindor Access: Harry, Ron, Hermione, and everyone on the character list from Katie Bell to Gryffindor Girl. - Slytherin Access: Everyone on the character list from Draco Malfoy to Slytherin Girl. - Ravenclaw Access: Everyone on the character list from Padma Patil to Ravenclaw Girl. - Hufflepuff Access: Everyone on the character list from Justin Finch- Fletchley to Hufflepuff Girl. - Total Access: Professor Dumbledore NOTE: This may not be 100% complete, but it should suffice for the average player's purposes. Let me know if you find any others, particulary any more "total access" people. Strength - The character has particular strength of muscle beyond the average human. With this ability, one can readily pull on large chains that exist in the field. There is also a potion that can replicate this (see below). - Used by: Hagrid, Fang, Viktor Krum Goblin Key - The character, being a goblin, has access to locks and the secrets behind them, particularly at Gringott's Bank. - Used by: Griphook Rune Book - The character carries with them a blue book. This allows them to read rune cabinets in the game. They need to stand in front of the cabinet and press Circle. The four runes will light up in a particular order, and you need to match that to open the cabinet. - Used by: Hermione, Dumbledore Strength Potion - This appears as a yellow potion in a black cauldron. To activate the cauldron, you need to throw in the three ingredients: a purple thing that I call a "thorn blossom", a "bone arm", and a "snake fang". With all three of these, press Circle next to the bubbling cauldron and you'll suddenly have the strength to pull chains. - This is learned in your first Potions Class, after the "Out of the Dungeons" Story Event. Broomstick Riding - The character can hop on any vacant broom and ride it around as a vehicle. Brooms tend to be found only in particular areas and situations. Also, be wary that different characters have different levels of skill on brooms. - Harry, Ron, and Hermione learn this skill after their first Flying Lesson following the Story Event "Out of the Dungeons". Of the three, Harry has the most skill and can fly upwards. Most other characters that have magic can use brooms like Harry can. Dig - The character can dig at spots that appear to be brown LEGO mounds with blue paw marks floating out of them. Press Square near those patches to dig. - Used by: Fang, Hermione using Crookshanks, Neville Longbottom, Professor Sprout, Sirius Black transformed, Professor McGonagall transformed, Filch using Mrs. Norris Crossbow - This is technically on the Spell Wheel for Hagrid, but it's really not a spell, so I'm putting it here. There's not much to it, really. It's just something that harms enemies, like a wand that can shoot sparks but nothing else. - Used by: Hagrid (in certain Story Events ONLY) Mandrake Handling - With this ability, you can go to unmarked cupboards and collect earmuffs from them. With these earmuffs, you can safely pick up baby Mandrake plants and carry them around. You can then steer the shrieking to clear blue glass objects to shatter them, or you can take the Mandrake to a pot and press Circle to pot it and get it out of the way. - This is learned in the Herbology lesson in Year Two, right after the "Floo Powder!" Story Event. Parseltongue - The ability to speak to snakes is a rare one, and most people associate it with dark magic since Salazar Slytherin was famous for it. With this ability, if you see doors that have snakes pop out of them, you can speak to them using Circle and they'll activate something. - Harry realizes this ability after the Dueling Club event in Year Two, after the "Dobby's Plan" Story Event. The only other character who can use it in this game is Lord Voldemort, in any of his three characters. Polyjuice Potion - A rather complex potion that is brewed to change whoever drinks it into another person's form entirely. These potions are found in gold cauldrons with green goo inside them. The ingredients for the potion are a cherry, an apple, and some hair. With the potion ready, press Circle next to it and you can turn yourself into any character you've already purchased. You will remain as that character indefinitely and have all their skills and talents. The only thing that will automatically change you back is going to the next cutscene or Story Event. - This is learned in Year Two by visiting the Potions class after the Dueling Club event. Time Turner - This rare magical device is used to turn back time for its wearer. It was given to Hermione Granger in her third year so she could take a larger course load at school. In this game, using the Time Turner on grandfather clocks will turn back time so you can search the area for other useful items. - Although Hermione received this at the beginning of Year Three, she won't use it until after the Story Event "The Shrieking Shack". Ageing Potion - This bluish potion is used to give the drinker the appearance of having aged considerably. For the purposes of this game, one uses the potion to cross an "Age Line", which is a hazy blue circle on the floor. The ingredients for this potion are a banana, a palm frond, and an orange snake. - This is learned in Year Four not long after the Story Event "The Quidditch World Cup". Mrs. Norris - Well, it's technically a passive skill, since Filch doesn't have a spell wheel, but you can toss out Mrs. Norris by pressing the Circle button - Used by: Filch Dark Magic - This is an adapter to the Leviosa spell. Having knowledge of dark magic allows the caster to use Leviosa on black objects with red sparkles. Also, if the caster uses the spell on a human, they will be affected with the Cruciatius Curse. - Used by: Lucius Malfoy, Death Eater, Macnair, Barty Crouch Junior, Peter Pettigrew, Professor Snape, Professor Quirrell (Voldemort), Tom Riddle, and Lord Voldemort ****************************************************************************** 5. THE LEAKY CAULDRON/DIAGON ALLEY ****************************************************************************** This area is the "base" hub of the game, which is to say that this is where, like in other LEGO games, you can purchase game-related things. In case you're unfamiliar with video game terms, a "hub" is basically an area that leads to multiple other areas, but it somewhat a mission in and of itself. There is also no story-specific action that takes place in this hub, except for the very beginning of the game, but that actually takes place in a slightly changed version of the setting. Suffice to say that whenever you opt to return to the Leaky Cauldron through the menu, you'll be deposited in this area. -- Leaky Cauldron - There are five major points of interest in the inn itself. Main Door: This is in the near right corner, and appears as a sort of glowing doormat. Step on it and you'll be asked if you want to "Continue Story", which will either send you back to Hogwarts or to the next Story Event, depending on the circumstances that you left. Notice Board: These are your means for replaying old Story Events, either going through the Story again or in Free Play Mode. They appear on the post in the inn, and also have glowing doormats in front of them. Step on them and you'll be allowed to select your Story Event. After which, you'll select Replay Story or Free Play Mode. Cinema Room: Go up the stairs and through the door on the landing to find a back hallway leading to a room where you can view all cinematics you've seen. Back Door: On the back wall on the main floor is the exit to Diagon Alley. Basement: Once you learn Reducto, you can blast the basement door, which leads to the area where you build kits using the Gold Bricks you've earned in Story Events. Finishing each of these will earn you an extra Gold Brick. --- Diagon Alley - The alley itself has little for you to do, but is mostly access to all the other areas. You start on the left and you'll find open shops as you proceed to the right. First is Madam Malkin's, next is Wiseacre's Wizarding Equipment, then Eeylops Owl Emporium. At the end of the street is Gringott's. Once you get Reducto, blast the metal gate at the bottom and you'll be able to go to Knockturn Alley. --- Madam Malkin's Robes for All Occasions - This area serves two purposes. Character Purchase: At the counter, you can purchase any extra characters you have collected tokens for. These characters can then be used in a Free Play run of a Story Event, or you can change into them using a Polyjuice Potion.

An Ohio man has pled guilty to poaching a monster 218-inch non-typical buck in early December and in doing so has set the state record for fines and restitutions in a poaching case. The man will spend 48 hours in a Logan County jail before he will began to recoup the Division of Wildlife for the $23,816.95 in restitution costs.
By Bob Robb, AmericanHunter.org contributor
We've become somewhat accustomed to stories that involve not-so-normal interactions between deer and humans in urban environments. But I can say that I've never seen anything like this.
As shed hunting season kicks into high gear, Bob Robb has put together some tips for helping you score some nice horns. Here are some proven tips for maximizing your shed hunting efforts:
It's hard to define what qualifies a motion picture as an "outdoor" film. To make this list the film must center on hunting and/or the outdoors. One of these two elements must be central to the plot, theme, tone and overall narrative of the flick. The movie gets more points if it has more than one—and a lot of shooting. Sure, a good film about love, loss and triumph that has outdoor-based cinematography might seem to fit, but we need to dig a little deeper here. Same goes for Westerns, they have their own category.
It's officially shed hunting season. As our addiction to this phase of the hunting year grows, so does our need to learn more. Whether it's helping you learn how this process works or throwing out a few tips to help find those trophy sheds, we'll be here to cover it.
This, my friends, is how you make a gun commercial. It's got everything a man could ever want to set his shotgun-loving eyes on. You probably won't be using the new Benelli Super Vinci for whitetails this year, but go ahead and spend a few minutes watching this video anyway. It's worth your while, indeed.
Let's welcome AmericanHunter.org contributor Bob Robb to the One-Track Mind fold. He'll be working with me in the months to come to bring you more complete coverage of the whitetail world.
And you thought bowhunting was a challenge. How'd you like to test your mettle against a monster whitetail, elk, muley or any other big game animal with only a hand-thrown or otherwise propelled spear?
Last month, bird blogger Kyle Wintersteen noted famed waterfowler Jeff Foiles' run-in with the law, and now we are hearing that Andrae D'Acquisto—known for his DVDs and appearances on the TV show "Whitetail Addictions"—has entered a plea agreement related to baiting charges filed in 2009.
The bowhunting world is descending on the great city of Indianapolis this week for the 2011 Archery Trade Association show. While I wasn't able to make it this year, my good friends Bob Robb and Jeff Johnston are on the floor as we speak.
No, I don't have list of every single deer killed in 2010. I also don't have a source at Boone & Crockett feeding me inside information on the the record books giants that were taken down this fall.
My New Year's resolution is to do my part. I'm going to do my part to keep the tradition of hunting alive. For lack of a better phrase, I'll be spreadin' the word.
I'm not happy. I wish I could type my true thoughts onto this NRA computer but decorum and professional conduct won't allow it.

Superdrug partners with parenting club Bounty
By Loulla-Mae Eleftheriou-Smith, marketingmagazine.co.uk, Friday, 15 July 2011 10:40AM
Superdrug, the health and beauty high street retailer, is to distribute sample packs from parenting support club Bounty as part of a partnership that gives it access to Bounty's database.
Bounty is a parenting community that provides support and information about pregnancy and parenthood. It is the first time Bounty has partnered with Superdrug.
The deal will see Superdrug given access to Bounty's database, which has 840,000 members. Superdrug will also run advertising in Bounty's parenting guides, which have a circulation of 1.5 million, and on Bounty.com.
Bounty sample packs, which Bounty claims are distributed to around 98% of pregnant women, will be given out in-store.
Dan Jarvis, head of marketing at Superdrug, said: "Parents are a key market for our stores, not just for baby goods but for everyday health and beauty. We're looking forward to being able to offer expectant parents the chance to collect their Bounty packs from our stores."
The partnership will be highlighted in ongoing activity for Superdrug's 'Take another look' campaign, the brand's first TV ad campaign for 10 years.
In May, Superdrug rolled out a major above-the-line campaign to promote the launch of its Beauty Card loyalty scheme, in an attempt to increase pressure on rival retailer Boots.

Elevation Church, the Charlotte, N.C. multi-site worship community led by pastor Steven Furtick, recently donated $300,000 towards a $20-million city fund to fight homelessness.
The proceeds will help fight the rise of homelessness in Charlotte through the Social Impact Housing Fund, created to provide short-term rental assistance for families and veterans, and assist residents who earn less than 50 percent of the area's median income.
"I can't thank you enough for hearing my cry on the trail as I talked about how important this subject matter is to me," said Charlotte Mayor Patrick Cannon to Furtick in a video interview. "$300,000, that's a big deal and you do it with humbleness and without asking for anything back. Charlotte will be set up as a place for best practices, where we can be looked upon by other places in this country, if not the world." more >>
WASHINGTON – Catholic school experts discussed the twin goals of education reform at religious private schools, arguing that faith formation and high academic standards are equally important to a school's success.
"We're in the business of educating not just citizens but saints," Christian Dallavis, senior director of Leadership Programs at The University of Notre Dame's Alliance for Catholic Education, declared at an event at the American Enterprise Institute on Thursday.
"If your goals are college and heaven, one of those is going to be easier to measure," quipped Michael Q. McShane, research fellow in education policy studies at AEI. McShane moderated a panel involving Dallavis and three other experts. more >>
A leader of a pro-Israel organization has expressed disapproval of President Barack Obama's statements at his State of the Union regarding the veto of new sanctions against the Islamic Republic of Iran.
Christians United for Israel provided The Christian Post with comments from CUFI Exectuvie Director David Brog.
"I'm saddened that the president has declared his intention to oppose the will of a majority of the Senate and the House on Iran. His policy towards Iran isn't working and won't work," said Brog. more >>
Income inequality in the United States has increased since 1960, in part, because of more women entering the workforce and "assortative mating," or the tendency for people to choose mates with similar education levels, according to new research.
People with higher education levels tend to make more money than people with lower education levels. That fact added to an increase in assortative mating and an increase in women working means that household income has increased at a much higher rate for the highly-educated than household income for those with less education.
Put another way, as more women have entered the workforce, the women with college degrees are more likely to marry someone who also has a college degree, thus increasing their household income at a much higher rate than women who entered the workforce with less education and married men with less education. more >>
Where do Christians meet the people they choose to hang out with outside of church? Where did you meet the friends you will be watching the Super Bowl with? What about the group you regularly have over for dinner on Friday nights?
For most Christians, the answer is more than likely church, according to Mark DeYmaz, the founding pastor of the multi-ethnic Mosaic Church of Central Arkansas and founder of Mosaix Global Network, a ministry resource group. DeYmaz suggests that this tendency means that there are good odds that you will be hanging out with individuals of the same race as yours.
"Ninety-two and half percent of churches are segregated along racial lines [which means] the predominant friendships people have is with people who are like them," DeYmaz told The Christian Post recently. more >>
In the official Republican response to President Barack Obama's State of the Union Address Tuesday, House Republican Conference Chair Cathy McMorris Rodgers (R-Wash.) stated that her son, who was diagnosed with Down syndrome, was "a gift from God."
In her remarks, Rodgers spoke about her family and its struggles, which included learning after he was born that her son Cole suffered from Down syndrome.
"They told us all the problems. But when we looked at our son, we saw only possibilities. We saw a gift from God," said Rodgers. more >>

I've been a Kindle owner since the very old and chunky Kindle 2 device. Here's my personal pros and cons on the new Kindle Touch: PROS ON THE KINDLE TOUCH: 1) Smaller and lighter than my previous Kindle Keyboard model. Dispensing with the physical keyboard and using an on-screen keyboard has saved a lot of space. This makes it nice and light to hold and also it's now small enough to fit into most of my handbags too. Läs mer Översätt till svenska
I've had the US version of this device for a couple of months now, but can't buy books from the Amazon(UK) store directly on device (at the present time).

Length: 9:09 Mins Please watch my video review here. Thanks for watching and I hope it helps. General observations: - Controlling/manipulating things on the screen is so much easier with the touch screen-it's a lot more intuitive! - Athough I don't show it in the video, you can swipe instead of tap to turn pages. You may also use your left hand to page forward by tapping slightly more in from the left edge. It works quite well. Läs mer Översätt till svenska

Product description
ALLAH IS NOT OBLIGED TO BE FAIR ABOUT ALL THE THINGS HE DOES HERE ON EARTH.These are the words of the boy soldier Birahima in the final masterpiece by one of Africa's most celebrated writers, Ahmadou Kourouma. When ten-year-old Birahima's mother dies, he leaves his native village in the Ivory Coast, accompanied by the sorcerer and cook Yacouba, to search for his aunt Mahan. Crossing the border into Liberia, they are seized by rebels and forced into military service. Birahima is given a Kalashnikov, minimal rations of food, a small supply of dope and a tiny wage. Fighting in a chaotic civil war alongside many other boys, Birahima sees death, torture, dismemberment and madness but somehow manages to retain his own sanity. Raw and unforgettable, despairing yet filled with laughter, "Allah Is Not Obliged" reveals the ways in which children's innocence and youth are compromised by war.

Moab, Utah (AP) -- Authorities have recovered the body of a 35-year-old man who died while attempting a parachute jump from a cliff in southeast Utah.
Grand County sheriff's deputies say the body was recovered Saturday, a day after the man jumped from an area known as "The Sweet Spot" above Mineral Canyon about 40 miles west of Moab.
Deputies say the distance from the top of the cliff to the spot where the man's body was found was about 400 feet and the cliff face was extremely rocky.
The victim's name and details about the cause of the 7 p.m. Friday accident were not immediately released.
The man was a BASE jumper which involves jumping with a parachute from buildings, bridges and other features.
The victim's friends notified authorities about the accident.

The Kaiser Health Tracking Poll is the Foundation's signature survey project, providing consistent and up-to-date information on the public's opinions, knowledge, and experiences with the U.S. health care system. Since the passage of the Affordable Care, the Kaiser Health Tracking Poll has been a primary tool for monitoring all aspects of public opinion on the ACA, including overall favorability on the law, opinion on a wide variety of its provisions, public familiarity with what is (and is not) in the law, early experiences, and awareness and views of state-level decisions about implementation. See all health tracking polls below.
Click here to view our Health Tracking Poll Interactive which allows users to track public opinion on the Affordable Care Act, from the inception of the law to the present, for subgroups based on age, race, income, gender, party identification and insurance status.

Visualizing Health Policy: Public Opinion At The End of the First Open Enrollment Period
This Visualizing Health Policy infographic takes a look at public opinion of the Affordable Care Act at the end of the first enrollment period, including the persistent deep partisan divisions, the sources of people's impressions, and the favorable views towards many of the ACA's least well-known provisions. Further, more people want…Infographic Read More
Kaiser Health Tracking Poll: April 2014
Despite the news that 8 million people have signed up for health insurance through the ACA's new marketplaces, the April Kaiser Health Tracking Poll finds no change in overall opinion of the law since last month . The most common reason for remaining uninsured is not being able to find an affordable plan. Also, a majority of the public supports the ACA's requirement that private health insurance plans cover the full cost of birth control and believes that for-profit companies should be subject to this requirement even if their owners object to birth control on religious grounds.Poll Finding Read More
Kaiser Health Policy News Index: April 2014
The Kaiser Health Policy News Index is designed to help journalists and policymakers understand which health policy-related news stories Americans are paying attention to, and what the public understands about health policy issues covered in the news. This month's Index finds that the public followed the missing Malaysia Airlines flight, the shooting at the Fort Hood army post, and the conflict between Ukraine and Russia, more closely than any health policy news stories. Among health policy news, the most closely-followed story was coverage of how many people have enrolled in health insurance options under the Affordable Care Act (ACA), which just over half the public reports following "very" or "fairly" closely.Poll Finding Read More
Kaiser Health Tracking Poll: March 2014
The March Kaiser Health Tracking Poll finds that the gap between unfavorable and favorable opinions of the ACA narrowed this month among the public and the uninsured, and more want Congress to improve the law than replace it. The survey also finds that six in ten of the uninsured are unaware of the March 31 deadline to sign up for coverage, and half say they plan to remain uninsured.Poll Finding Read More

Additionally, many Americans remain unaware of the status of Medicaid expansion in their own states.Poll Finding Read More
Kaiser Health Tracking Poll: July 2014
The July Kaiser Health Tracking Poll finds that over half the public has an unfavorable view of the Affordable Care Act (ACA) in July, up eight percentage points since last month, while the share viewing the law favorably held steady at just under four in ten. This month's poll also explored the public's reaction to the Supreme Court decision upholding craft store chain Hobby Lobby's ability to deny workers coverage of certain contraceptives based on the company's owners' religious beliefs. The public overall is evenly split between those who approve and disapprove of the Court's decision, with only a small difference in opinion between women and men, but deep divisions by party identification, ideology, and religious affiliation.Poll Finding Read More
Kaiser Health Policy News Index: July 2014
The July Kaiser Health Policy News Index finds the most closely followed news stories this month were discussions about how to deal with large numbers of unaccompanied minors arriving in the U.S. from Central America, military and political conflict between Israel and Hamas, and ongoing problems related to Veterans Affairs (or V.A.) medical facilities. Six in ten report closely following the Supreme Court's decision in a case about whether for-profit companies should be required to cover birth control for women in their workers' health plans (the Hobby Lobby case), and about half of the public is able to correctly identify the Court's decision.Poll Finding Read More

Kaiser Health Tracking Poll: October 2014
In the final Kaiser Health Tracking Poll before the 2014 midterm elections in November, the Affordable Care Act (ACA) continues to be just one of several issues on voters' minds. Less than 1 in 10 registered voters identify the ACA as the most important issue to their vote, ranking behind the economy, dissatisfaction with government, education and the situation in Iraq and Syria. With the ACA's second open enrollment period approaching, the poll also finds the uninsured are not yet tuned in. About 9 in 10 of the uninsured are unaware of when the next open enrollment period begins, two thirds say they know "only a little" or "nothing at all" about the marketplaces, and just over half are unaware of financial assistance available.Poll Finding Read More

Stay up-to-date with KAKE News:
The head of the Republican Party is calling on President Barack Obama to withdraw Kathleen Sebelius's nomination as health secretary unless she answers more questions on abortion.
Republican National Committee Chairman Michael Steele says that
Sebelius has not been forthcoming about her ties to a Wichita abortion doctor, George Tiller.
Steele's statement Thursday came as Republicans blocked action
on Sebelius' confirmation in the Senate.
Sebelius was approved by the Senate Finance Committee this week
with just two GOP votes. Several Republicans were concerned about
her initial failure to disclose how much campaign money she got
from Tiller.

When one thinks about garcinia cambogia exotic fruit and health supplement. They think of something that will help them to lose weight naturally and give them lots of health benefits. The truth about this dietary aid is that, it can do this, but being that it works different results with different individuals. It is best to first determine if this is indeed the product for you. This is because despite the fact that garcinia cambogia extract is very good, safe, and does achieve certain levels of success. It is still a health supplement that is unique, and being unique, it is something that should only be used by those who are able to use it.
It is not something that is designed with everyone in mind. Therefore, you have to make this determination for you personally, and with the advice of your doctor, if you decide you would like to add it to your life to burn fat and get some good health advantages from it. What is good about a Garcinia Cambogia Review? The best thing about a garicnia cambogi review is this. It can literally give you the inside track that you do need with this health supplement. Not only will you gain lots of information about garcinia itself, you will also be able to ascertain if it is a product you will like or not, simply by reading about different people's experiences with it on the average. A garcinia cambogia review does tend to be personally objective, and they can be, both positive and negative in delivery. So, with this said, whenever you do read these mixed reviews do it with a very open mind and heart.
What is great about a garcinia review is that they are unbiased and tend to be honest in make up. Therefore, if you want to know all about garcinia extract, these reviews don't only bring opinions they bring lots of fact. We all are different as people, and these differences, even extend to our health at the end of the day. Some people out there are far more trusting with their health to one certain product than others. This is just the law of averages and the law of nature. A garcinia extract review can help to not just put you in the know, but also to let you know, if this popular dietary supplement is indeed something for you to use or not. The wide variety of facts, as well, as mixed opinions and experiences all add up to very excellent research on the product itself.

Solvay Specialty Polymers and Johnson Matthey are part of a group that established a training program for skilled manufacturing workers with Gloucester County College in New Jersey. A community college "was a natural choice for us. It can offer a high-level education at a modest price," said Lucio Siano, CEO of the U.S. unit of Italian specialty chemicals producer COIM, which also partnered in the effort. "From a cost point of view, this is better. From a cultural and educational point of view, we cannot do better than to put them in classes with professors who are experts in the subject," Siano said.

High Court: Warrantless DWI Blood Draws Are Unconstitutional
Just in time for the holiday weekend, the Texas Court of Criminal Appeals has upheld a lower court's ruling that warrantless blood-drawing in DWI cases is unconstitutional.
Be careful out there.
In a split 5-4 decision Wednesday, the majority justices disagreed with prosecutors' argument that driving on Texas roads is a privilege -- not a right -- and that "the driving public" is presumed to have read the statute outlining no-refusal blood draws. (We must say, there are plenty of roads in Houston that don't really feel like a "privilege" to drive on.)More »

This Thai fried rice is delicious and so simple to prepare. It's great for a quick mid-week dinner if you have some leftover cooked rice.
Heat a wok or a non-stick frying pan over a high heat until hot.
Put the oil in and swirl to coat the base of the pan.
Stir-fry the garlic for 1 minute, then add the rice and stir for 2 minutes.
Add the onion, tomato and green vegetables and stir-fry for another minute.
Make a well in the centre of the rice and pour in the egg, if using. Lightly scramble for 20 seconds until nearly cooked, then fold through the rest of the rice.
Sprinkle with the fish sauce and stir to combine.
Serve with the coriander sprigs, cucumber slices and a lime cheek.

Sauvignon Blanc, Pinot Gris and Pinot Noir are the best wines to pair with Thai Fried Rice.

Art Lesson: Toco Toucan Drawing
Toco Toucan Drawing Lesson
Submitted by: Patti Caiola, Reynolds
Elementary School, Toledo, OH
Lesson: Toco Toucan - Oil Pastels
Students will create a picture of a Toucan from the continent of South America using pencil, marker, and oil pastels.
Time Needed: Three class periods (1 hour each)
12 x 18 (30.5 x 46 cm) white Drawing Paper (maybe try on Manila Paper - or black Drawing Paper with White Glue outline
Ohio Fine Arts Standard Applied:
Creative Expression and Communication
Benchmark A:
Demonstrate knowledge of visual art materials, tools, techniques and processes by using them expressively and skillfully.
Class example completed, photos of Toucans, Fruit Loops box for Toucan Sam compare/contrast, Toucans Naturebooks. You can sit a Toco Toucan plush toy on each table or give them away as prizes.

Artist/Period/Cross Curriculum: World continents – Social Studies, environment/conservation - rainforest.
Day One:
Day Two:
Day Three:
4th Grade Toco Toucan- Note from Patti: My inspiration was a photo of a Toco Toucan that I found on Webshots. I decided to do a lesson on this South American animal and tie it into the 4th Graders Social Studies curriculum. I used an image from Webshots.com, my laptop, and a projector to show a large Toucan photo for constant reference throughout the lesson: http://www.webshots.com/.
Lesson: Asian Tiger Watercolor
Grade Level: 6th
Time Needed: Three class periods (1 hour each)
Students will discuss the different characteristics of wild jungle cats like lions, tigers, and leopards. They will use their observations to create their own painting of a jungle cat.
12 x 18 (30.5 x 46 cm) Watercolor Paper, Watercolor Paint
Class example completed, photos of animal to be drawn, facts about that animal's habitat, diet, and environment (science). Is the animal endangered?
Cat, environment, habitat, jungle, diet, food chain, continent, country.
Lesson adapted from Liz Lumbreezer. Magazine photos, National Geographic, books, posters, etc, a map of the world or a globe to illustrate where the chosen cat is from.
Henri Rousseau was a self-taught artist who often painted images of jungle scenes and animals. His work was bright and colorful and he is best known for his Sleeping Gypsy painting of 1897.
Eugene Delacroix painted a watercolor of a Young Tiger Playing with his Mother (National Gallery of Art, Washington DC).
Peter Paul Reubens has very detailed drawings of Lions National Gallery of Art, Washington, DC)
Objectives: Students will be able to...
Day One:
Day Two:
Procedure continues using the Tiger as the example.
Day Three:
Teacher will collect wet paintings to dry.
Asian Tiger Watercolor - Note from Patti: Since I was doing one animal from South America (the Toucan) I thought that I could have other classes visit different continents. Therefore, my 6th Graders did Asian Tigers. The photos can also be seen on my webshots site that I am trying out at http://community.webshots.com/user/patti774. I used the photo from webshots of real tigers on my laptop, projected on the screen, as the entire class was able to see that as visual reference as I was drawing on the board. This was the closest thing we could get to drawing from life without being able to go to the zoo.

Animals from Many Continents: North American Grizzly Bear
Grade Level: 2nd Grade
Time Needed: One class period (1 hour)
Students will create a picture of a Grizzly Bear from the continent of North America. Drawing from photograph references using pencil, marker, and Crayons students will use simple shapes to create the portrait of a grizzly bear. Upside down heart for muzzle, ovals, circles, capitol letter "v", etc. Students learn to take a complex photo and break it down into simple shapes…anyone can draw anything if you just break it down into simple shapes! Draw large shapes first, add details second, outline with sharpie third, color with multicultural crayons last. Could be painted, oil pastels, cut paper, many adaptations possible. Great tie in with geography, and the environment/habitat of the North American Grizzly Bear.
Old Calendars
Animals from Many Continents: Australian Koala
Grade Level: 3rd Grade
Time Needed: One class period (1 hour)
Description: Almost exactly the same as the Grizzly Bear lesson above, but with the Koala; We discuss that the Koala is actually a marsupial and not a bear, that it is a vegetarian and eats eucalyptus leaves, sleeps 22 hours a day, lives mostly in trees. We used oil pastels for our project, but again you could adapt it to any media. Stress again here is on drawing from life, breaking down what the students see as "hard to draw" into simple shapes that are put together to form a portrait. Beginning drawing skills here, forcing them to look at the world a little differently.
In progress drawing
Animals from Many Continents: African Giraffe
I adapted the Giraffe lesson for my African animal from the Artsonia website, lesson is available on Artsonia. We used pencils to draw, sharpies to outline, Multicultural Crayons to color. Again, could be easily adapted to watercolor, painting, cut paper, pastels, etc. I used photos from webshots, again. The one specifically was titled "Ready For My Close-Up" © Diana Levey Weaver/Roma. Webshots has been a great place to get good graphic photos for my students. I can use the projector at school and project them up on a wall so the whole class can see the same picture.
Title: Giraffe Drawing by Sandi Smith (Submitted Jan. 31, 2004)
Giraffe Information:
Below is some info I found on Giraffes from http://www.giraffes.org/giraffe-01.html (good site for other info as well):
The giraffe is the tallest land animal. Can you draw a person next to the giraffe? Use the scale next to the giraffe when you draw, and you'll see how tall a giraffe is when compared to a person.
Anatomy: The giraffe is up to 19 feet (6 m) tall and weighs up to 2,800 pounds (1270 kg). A baby giraffe (called a calf) weighs about 130 pounds at birth and is about 6 feet tall.
Even though the giraffe's neck is extremely long, it has only seven neck vertebrae, the same number that people and most other mammals have. The front legs are slightly longer than the rear legs. Different giraffe sub-species have different patterns, but most have brown polygons on a cream/tan background. The polygons are larger on the body and smaller on the face and limbs and act as camouflage among the trees. Giraffes have two short horns; males have knobbed, hairless horns, females have thinner, tufted horns.
Protection from Predators: These herding mammals can see their enemies (like lions) from long distances. Giraffes can run up to 35 mph (56 kph) for short bursts.
Diet: Giraffes are plant-eaters, eating mostly leaves, twigs and bark from the tops of the thorny acacia plant. The giraffes carefully eat around the thorns, and their tough lips and thick saliva protect them somewhat from the thorns.
Water: Giraffes can go for days without water. In order to drink water, the giraffe has to spread its front legs and bend its long neck to the water. This is a dangerous position for the giraffe since it can't see its enemies and can't get a fast start running.
Habitat: Giraffes live in African grasslands (savannas).
