Things I liked:Lots to like, I don't shot it that often as my PCPs get most of my shooting time. There are just so many things I like about this big guy. Soft butt pad to absorb recoil as well as the SAS shock absorbing system. I get my exercise cocking this monster, I love the thumb hole stock, the Quartto trigger, the checkered pistol grip and the checkered forestock adds good grip. The auto safety when he's cocked and a quick thumb release safety. The Truglo sights with the rear sight having great adjustments for windage and elevation. The nearly silent power. The pellets smacking the target back boards are noisier then the muzzle voice,. The muzzle brake has nice chevron grooves so your hand doesn't slip when cocking about 50 pounds resistance. I have owned this gun over 7 months and not a problem one, sturdy and reliable. This is not a 10 year olds gun or anyone who can't handle the sheer weight and cocking system require a fair amount of stength. It does include a very basic 3x9x32 Optima scope.
Things I would have changed:The user manual is typical Hatsan "TO LITTLE INFORMATION" If you nit pick! you do get a rather hollow sound if you tap on the synthetic stock but it cost me $220 not a $1, 000, so not an issue.
What others should know:I added the 4x16x40 scope and then I added a scope mounted a tactical light 200 lumens, and a powerful green laser sighted at 20 yards for Armadillos, and sighted the scope to 40 yards and out. When decked out it looks like what it is, a power house hunting rifle first and a plinking guy of course. I just cronyed him. He fired 19g H&N FTT pellets averaging 745 FPS with a high of 766 FPS and 24.89 FPE. With JSB 25.39g pellet with a high of 665 FPS and an average of 659FPS with a 24.65 FPE. With AA 25.4g with a high of 657 FPS and an average of 651FPS and 24.35 FPE, average groups at 25 yards 1". Strange that the FPE is the same with all different weight of pellets. So now I just use 19g H&N, I think they shoot a little farther and faster for less pellet price.
Things I liked:Value, accuracy, power... everything.
Things I would have changed:Rifle is a tad on the heavy side.
What others should know:I purchased this rifle in .25 cal (go big bore, you won't be disappointed)and it is deadly accurate, with power to spare. I previously owned a gamo, the hatsan rifle is in a whole different league. The accuracy is amazing, my 10 year old daughter can shoot groups less than an inch at fifty plus yards. I have around 500 rounds through it, and about a half dozen kills thus far. Knocks small game off of their feet. My friend has the hatsan vortex s1000 in .177, and it is also a high quality rifle. I cannot say enough about the performance of this gun, buy it you will not regret it. Be sure to get a set of weaver style scope rings! Enjoy!
Things I liked:This gun is a beast awesome power.This is my go to gun to carry on my trap line to dispatch coyote and raccoon one shot and lights out also pellets are easy to buy compared to rim fire ammo.
Things I would have changed:Better scope is the only thing , and add a sling
What others should know:Make sure you know what is behind your target and have a good back stop.
I got my today, and I can't believe how powerful it is this gun. I'm very happy with it.

New Media Portfolio
ZimmComm New Media has designed and built blog sites for a variety of agribusiness companies and organizations. These websites have been created to publish content from an annual event or to serve as a simple and effective way to distribute regular information to customers and members. Besides blogs we have also created podcast series that serve to enhance a client's blog project or provide an additional channel of information distribution. ZimmComm has pioneered the use of these distribution channels in the agribusiness industry.
Here are some examples of ZimmComm New Media client projects. Click on the thumbnail images for a larger screen shot.
Appaloosa Horse Club – It's called the Appaloosa Blog Spot which is a cute play on words that describe this breed of horses. This is the official blog of the organization.
Welcome to AppaloosaBlogSpot.com! Our goal is to provide an informal resource for Appaloosa Horse Club news and information. A primary reason for establishing this news channel is to give technically challenged staff people (like me) the opportunity to post from events, meetings and activities without shuffling information and waiting in line to have items posted on the website.
We'll focus on keeping ApHC members up to date while offering some basic information about the who, what, when, where and why of ApHC activities and programs. You won't need a password, just an interest in the Appaloosa community.
National Biodiesel Board – The Biodiesel Conference Blog chronicles all the activities of the annual National Biodiesel Conference.
This blog was one of the first created by ZimmComm New Media which has also been contracted to produce the multimedia content each year since the project started in 2005.
I am very pleased with the conference coverage and photo quality and would be very interested in booking YOU for next year's event in AZ. Is there any way I can get this on your calendar now to assure that we again have you on site? It is Feb 6-9 in Phoenix.
Cattlemen's Beef Board – MyBeefCheckoff Meeting is utilized by the CBB to document and present the events happening during the organization's regular meetings, in particular those conducted at the Cattle Industry Summer Conference and Cattle Industry Convention.
This is a producer communications focused website that also includes links to all the organization's committee meeting agendas and minutes. It was designed to provide cattlemen with an online resource to see what happens at these meetings and making the checkoff management process completely transparent.
National Corn Growers Association – Corn Commentary is the official blog of NCGA and is utilized as an outlet to write about topics and issues important to corn growers and their customers.
Welcome to Corn Commentary, sponsored by the National Corn Growers Association. We created this blog to provide a lighter, more personalized look at corn, agriculture and the events of the day that affect the nation's corn producers. Sometimes we'll update you on the latest news, sometimes we'll step back for some quiet reflection, but it will always be seasoned with the knowledge and perspective you've come to expect from NCGA.
John Deere – When John Deere started the Drive Green Utility Tractor Show they wanted a way to distribute timely information in a search engine optimized online environment. The Show blog was developed to help promote events and integrated social networking tools like Twitter, Facebook, Flickr and YouTube.
The Drive Green Tractor Show is a program designed to give rural property owners, agricultural producers and other interested consumers a chance to operate and ask questions about the latest models of utility and compact utility tractors being launched by John Deere. The company-sponsored Drive Green Program includes special equipment displays and ride-and-drive events at more than 45 currently scheduled locations starting in the Southeast.
Croplan Genetics – When AgriSolutions and Croplan Genetics wanted a way to hype the finals competition of their JackPlot board game in Las Vegas they decided on a ZimmComm blog including having ZimmComm attend the event and live blog it.
The Answer Plot® Experience
You plan and implement your crop production strategies year-round to maximize yield in the face of ever-rising input costs. You're successful, but are always looking for ways to improve. You need answers to tough questions. The Answer Plot® experience is your year-round resource for local agronomic, seed and crop production expertise, strategies and information.
Indiana Family Farms – After ZimmComm developed a blog for Hoosier Ag Today (HAT Chat), we were called on to create a new blog project for a grant project to showcase Indiana agriculture.
Welcome to Indiana Family Farms. This web site is your personal introduction to some of the men and woman who make up the Indiana livestock industry. Most Hoosiers have not visited a dairy farm or spent time on a beef or pork operation. Most people have never met a farmer. This is a chance for you to do both – visit a livestock farm and meet the people who own and operate them.
With just the click of a mouse, you can see the animals and listen to the men and woman tell their stories. They will share with you their values, methods of production, and hopes for the future. These are real farm families telling their story in their own words. Come and meet the people who put the meat in your meat case and the milk, cheese, yogurt, and ice cream in your dairy case. This site was made possible by a grant from the Indiana State Department of Agriculture.
Southeast AgNet – This multi channel media company in "the deep southeast" needed to create a website to complement its farm radio network, magazines and Citrus Expo. This may be a blog but it is also the company website which helps show how versatile the blog format can be.
Southeast AgNet is owned by the husband and wife team of Gary Cooper and Robin Loftin. Learn more about the Company and how it got started by viewing this 'history' of the company (pdf).
ZimmComm has conducted multiple training sessions for all the company's editors who post regular news content onto the site.
Missouri Beef Industry Council – The Missouri Beef Buzz was the first outside blog project for ZimmComm New Media. Initially this blog was meant as a producer communications tool to keep Missouri beef producers informed about the activities funded by their Checkoff dollar.
However, the MBIC soon learned via web statistics that a lot of consumers were visiting the website and finding the information useful. The content direction then changed to include both producers and consumers.
Now you will find information posted regularly on the promotions of the Beef Checkoff as well as interviews with Missouri beef producers. ZimmComm has assisted with the regular production and posting of content on the website. This includes a weekly podcast which is described below.
Southeastern Peanut Growers Conference – This annual event is coordinated by the Alabama Peanut Producers Association, Florida Peanut Producers Association, Georgia Peanut Commission and Mississippi Peanut Growers Association. They wanted a blog to communicate the information and activities from the event.
The conference offers farmers an opportunity to learn more about legislative issues, peanut research and promotions.
In addition to the conference sessions the event focuses on the family by offering a kids program and a ladies program. The kids and ladies program will be similar to previous conferences. There is also a golf tournament.
"The Ethanol Report" has been the official podcast of the Renewable Fuels Association (RFA) since fall of 2007. The podcasts are updated at least twice a month with interviews on timely biofuels related topics, sent by email to agricultural journalists and posted on Domestic Fuel.
Matt, Just got the audio feed you guys put out through AgNewsWire…. Just want to let you know that I really like these feeds and can always use more of them whenever events dictate. Thanks much…I plan to run this one on our network Thursday morning.Ethanol Report
ZimmComm has been producing "Forage Forum" for Pioneer since June of 2006. The twice monthly report focuses on information important "for dairy professionals working for successful animal nutrition." The podcasts are posted on Pioneer's website and on World Dairy Diary.
In this "must hear" Forage Forum, Pioneer nutritional sciences manager Bill Mahanna discusses inoculant application technology and how drastically it has changed over the past 30 years. Forage Forum

sexual urges if kept unchecked can get us in trouble
Photograph by Jason Edwards, National Geographic Creative
Published October 7, 2013
Is sex worth dying for? For a few male marsupial species, it is—when they know their offspring will survive, a new study says.
While extremely rare among mammals, so-called semelparity, or suicidal reproduction, is common in nature. Many plants—including all grains, many vegetables, and all plants that live just a year—reproduce this way, as do salmon, insects, and a handful of frogs and lizards.
Just four mammal species are known to reproduce this way, and all are rare insect-eating marsupials. These dads die after devoting all their resources and energy to mating, an effort that helps their sperm—and genes—win out.
Since the 1970s, scientists have suspected that females synchronize mating so that they wean their young at the same time that insect abundance peaks each year. During that shortened, frenzied mating period, competition to mate with the females and methods of doing so are taken to extremes.
Ecologist Diana Fisher of the University of Queensland in Australia and colleagues seem to have proved parts of this theory with widespread data on 52 species across Australia, Papua New Guinea, and South America.
Moving from the tropics into temperate regions, the data show, the availability of food becomes more seasonable, and predictable, and that correlates with the use of a suicidal sex strategy in these species.
"We found that males of species with shorter mating seasons are less likely to survive after mating," Fisher said. "Competitive effort has a survival cost— species that spend more energy on mating in the first breeding season risk never having another chance to breed."
During the mating frenzy, some pairs mate for up to 14 hours at a time.
In those species that have completely adopted the shorter mating system, all males die: Elevated stress levels cause a fatal immune system collapse and death by hemorrhaging and infection. (Related: "3 Mammals That 'Choose Their Babies' Sex.")
Sexual Behavior Also Extreme
"People have been curious for a long time about the story of these extraordinary animals," said Truman P. Young, an ecologist at the University of California, Davis, who was not affiliated with the study.
"Now this team has produced a lot of really terrific data and a really good hypothesis. We have a much clearer idea of where this occurs and what it correlates with—that seasonality that really drives it."
And dying isn't the mammals' only extreme sexual behavior, Fisher noted. (Read more about animal attraction.)
Prior to the mating season, males stop producing sperm and their testes disintegrate, making them reliant on stored sperm.
"And the clock is ticking, because the sperm they manufactured before their testes shut down is now being lost in their urine," she added.
"The frenzied mating season lasts only a couple of weeks, and males usually die before young are born." (Related: "Wild Romance: Weird Animal Courtship and Mating Rituals.")
Males produce as many sperm as they can—even growing outsized testes—and then disperse as many of them as they can by mating with as many females as possible.
"Species with male die-off spend so much effort and body resources on mating that they cannot ever breed again," Fisher said.
Some species burn not only fat but even muscle to fuel this immense effort, she added.
Both sexes must be promiscuous to maximize these benefits, and females seem fine with this arrangement.
"Males with larger testes, better quality sperm, and better endurance succeed in more fertilizations in competition with the sperm of other males when females mate with multiple males," Fisher said. (Related: "Sperm Hoarders: Why Animals Store Semen.")
Live Fast, Die Young
UC-Davis's Young said the study could support the theory that a slim chance of survival overall drove these mammals to adopt suicidal mating in the first place.
"Given that there's likely a trade-off between how much effort you put into reproduction and your chances of survival to the next year, it's much easier to make the choice of putting everything into reproduction now if your chances of surviving to the next year are really low anyway," Young said.
"What you're giving up, your future life, is actually not worth much, so you might as well go for it."
But Fisher's team has a slightly different, new theory for why the males give up their own lives. (Watch video: "World's Weirdest: Deadly Mating.")
Their results suggest the sperm of male marsupials that are most efficient at mating by suicide outcompete the sperm of other males, which makes dying worthwhile.
Either way, while the system seems to work out badly for males, it appears to benefit both the next generation and females, who Fisher's group theorizes could be driving the competition.
"Females are all for this," Fisher explained, "because they get the best fathers for their young by mating promiscuously and letting the best sperm win."
Mother Nature is a female.
let the best sperms win!!
A weird world of informatics !
Well its better than what some female humans have done. You never hear about any other animals cutting off a man's reproductive organ and putting it through a trash compactor!
This must be interesting to women.
This must be interesting to women.
Hell, most human males would do likewise, had they the chance.
And then there's the added plus of not having to help raise the kids or do the dishes.
Just sayin'.
This is sooooo interesting.
@Joe Boyer Is that better or worse than the mantis's sexual cannibalism?
@Eric Mills Speak for yourself. I love sex (as do my mates), but there is no way I would choose such a future (or lack thereof).
@Lance Smith @Eric Mills Oh, come one. It was a joke. I hope :)) I think the doing the dishes part gives it off...

What for WiFi
Don't you just love all the technological acronyms floating around these days? It's almost like being in the army… "Hey, my PDA is AWOL!" One of the latest of these wonderful abbreviations is WiFi. What's WiFi? I guess it's kind of like High-Fi, short for high fidelity, but the Wi stands for wireless. Actually, the long-winded term is Wireless Local Area Networks (WLAN), but everyone seems to like WiFi better, maybe because you can dance to it. But the bigger … Continue reading

Then you already know that finding enough staff, and more importantly, finding the right staff, is the most important task you'll accomplish all year. We'd all like to think we have a gut instinct on picking the right people, yet we all get fooled. Here's the most ironic part… Not only do we get fooled by hiring … Continue reading

Take the USCIS Form I-20 that you received in your Admitted Students packet to the nearest U.S. consulate to obtain your student visa. (J-1 students follow the same basic directions as F-1 students, but substitute "DS-2019" for "I-20".) Only bring the USCIS Form I-20 from the school you plan on attending for visa processing at the U.S. consulate. You must also provide verification to the consulate that you have the financial resources required for your education and stay in the United States.
*Currently, Canadian citizens are not required to have student visas to study in the U.S.
Canadian students need passports to enter the U.S. Canadian Students do not currently require a student visa. You need to check your I-20 for accuracy and complete item #11. You will need proof of payment of the SEVIS fee. Submit your I-20 to the U.S. Border Patrol when you come into the country to study. You may be required to show evidence of sufficient funds and additional identification and/or verification of admission.
F-1 Students in the U.S. who are transferring to Bemidji State University:During orientation, present your I-20 to the Director of International Programs to validate your transfer. Your transfer will not be considered complete until this is done.
The Directorate of Border and Transportation Security at the U.S. port of entry makes the final admission determination. For exchange visitors, they also determine the period for which they are authorized to remain in the United States. At the port of entry, a Directorate of Border and Transportation Security official validates Form I-94, Record of Arrival-Departure, which notes the length of stay permitted.

Georgetown University Hospital New Grad 2012 - page 4
Hey everyone, is anyone applying or did applied for the new graduate RN program 2012 from Georgetown University Hospital???... Read More
- 0Jan 3, '12 by Zagnurse5
- " SailorWifey Which unit are you interviewing for? "
I interviewed for the intermediate unit (4E). Its similar to an ICU stepdown. I shadowed a nurse for 3 hours and then interviewed with the nurse manager for an hour. After, I went down to the nurse recruiter and discussed salary, benefits, and transportation etc. They told me they would call me in a week to let me know if I got the job. They called me an hour after I left and offered it to me!
The interview process was actually not too too formal. They really just wanted to see if I would fit with their team, what my expectations were, and what my goals were.
- "em20
Zagnurse5 that's awesome!! Good luck! Did you graduate this semester or are you finishing in May?"
I graduated this December 2011
I start my position Feb 13th!!
- " SailorWifey Which unit are you interviewing for? "
- 0Jan 4, '12 by SailorWifeyThanks for the response! For your interview, did they ask you knowledge based questions (like what to do in a specific clinical scenario)? I read old posts and found that some people were asked those types of questions. I'm just trying to see what to expect. Thanks again :-)
- 0Jan 11, '12 by Hannah22When I called Nurse Recruitment to accept my invitation, I was asked to pick an area to interview in. From past posts it seemed like the afternoon of New Grad Day was set aside for applicants to interview on multiple units as they wished, but it appears not to work that way anymore.
If I picked a unit that has 50 applicants and only 2 slots and I don't get a job offer, does that mean I can't re-interview on another, less popular unit? It seems like it would be hard to evenly match interviewees with slots with such a system, since there are units that are always massively popular (L&D, peds, NICU). Does anyone know how many people are invited to New Grad Day vs. how many slots are available, and how exactly the interview system will work? Can you decide on New Grad Day to interview on multiple units, or do you have to roll the dice with the available slots on the unit you initially picked? I would RATHER work on the unit I asked for, but in the end I'd rather work at GUH than anywhere else, unit aside.
Thanks to anyone who can shed light on this!
- 0Jan 13, '12 by SailorWifeyHannah, it seems to me like we get to choose one area for our interview. I agree with the points you made though. Hopefully they would contact the applicants for more popular units and allow them to pick something else if they wanted. I kinda wish they would send out a list with the numbers so we have an idea!
- 0In my conversations with the recruitment office, you do only get to interview with one unit.
Hannah22, I pretty much landed in the scenario you posed. I was contacted asking if I was interested in any other unit late last week because there are only 2 spots expected to be open for this unit. I happily selected another unit, the one where I have 5 years experience. I was left with the impression that although you should interview where you are most passionate, those who have the most pre-licensure experience in that unit will be looked at more favorable for the open positions. I would think if you did not receive a call, the unit you selected is "safe."
Would anyone besides me be moving from out of state to the DC area for a position and be looking for housing? Does anyone know about salary and/or shifts?
- 0CONGRATS on the new position, best of luck- hope to meet you this summer!!
Could you share about the benefits, salary, transportation etc.? You mentioned youre in Seattle- how did you find housing in DC- I would be relocating as well...
What unit are you on? What are the shifts?
Any more insight other than what youve already shared would be a FABULOUS help, and certainly ease some nerves!!
Congrats again!
- 0I didn't think they did accepted ADN prepared grads? It was strongly impressed to me they only accept BSN prepared students. This would make sense as they are a Magnet facility and Magnet strongly frowns upon the ADN prepared nurse. In fact, most Magnet facilities simply will not hire ADN or diploma grads and those who were already employed at the time of status are forced to go back for a BSN within a certain time period.

News Outta Nashville: Hillary Scott of Lady Antebellum Finally Gets Her Own Bus
We find it hard to believe, especially with the huge success that Lady Antebellum has had over the last few years, that Hillary Scott was still sharing a tour bus with her band mates Charles and Dave. However, she finally has her own wheels! Hillary is expecting her first baby soon and is planning on staying on the road with her bundle of joy. Since the guys probably don't want to listen to an infant cry, Hillary will travel in a separate bus.
Taylor Swift was a guest on The Voice last night… she was Team Usher, though!! Should she have supported Blake Shelton instead?
Also, exciting stuff for Taylor in Chicago! Just like Carrie Underwood got to do last week, Taylor Swift got the opportunity to share the stage with the legendary Rolling Stones during their concert. Find out all the details in today's News Outta Nashville!

With 16 months until the 2008 Presidential election, we thought it would be interesting to conduct a study of the search engine reputation of current candidates. We examined the first 20 results on Google and Yahoo for the ten Republicans and eight Democrats to see who had the best and worst online reputation.
The results were startling, with only three candidates fully in control of their search engine reputation. Who were they? How did Hillary and Barack fair?
I won't spoil the surprise, so head over to the 2008 Presidential Election Candidate Reputation Study for the breakdown.

Scientists in Edward Lemke's group at EMBL Heidelberg have developed a new high-throughput method to monitor individual large molecules for long periods of time. Called SWIFT, the new approach overcomes the shortcomings of available techniques, which either required the molecule to be immobilised or only allowed very short observation times. The technique, developed by PhD student Swati Tyagi and postdoc Virginia VanDelinder, was recently published in Nature Methods.
"Long observation is key to follow biological mechanisms in detail, but for large molecules it often just wasn't possible" says Edward, "SWIFT fills that gap."

So, if I was going to avoid this subject, what changed my mind?
My inbox.
Today, HSLDA's Federal Relations Department sent out an email informing members that they will be meeting with the commissioners of the CPSC on February 4th. The email says:
However, we are concerned about the effect that this legislation and the proposed regulations will have on small family businesses. It appears that many of these vital businesses could be forced to close due to the high cost of compliance with the CPSIA.The tie between homeschooling and small business might not be evident to folks outside the homeschooling community. I know that I was surprised at home many homeschooling families own their own small businesses {or sometimes the mothers work at home at a small crafts-type business}. It makes sense to me, now that I have considered that libery is a foundation of homeschooling. Owning a business is also an act of liberty {and bravery}, as the owners cannot shelter themselves under the wings of an employer, but must be solely responsible for their own success or failure.
HSLDA is trying to help protect such family businesses, as well as the homeschooling families who may purchase educational items from such a family business.
There are also many homeschooling moms who, inspired by the Virtuous Woman of Proverbs 31, use their gifts and talents to benefit the family economy. In fact, some families are able to homeschool because the moms have been successful enough at their home-based ventures to be able to afford to opt out of government schools.
So is CSPIA a threat to homeschoolers? Yes. It is a threat to us all, but it is the threat to homeschoolers that gives HSLDA a vested interest in sorting this issue out.
HSLDA is looking for examples to use in their meeting. If you homeschool and own a family business that will be shut down or siginificantly harmed by the new children's products legislation, they would like to have a 1- to 2-page summary of your business and details of how and why the harm will come to it. Email this information to federalrelations AT hslda DOT org.
For those of you who have absolutely no idea what I'm talking about, let me give you a very brief rundown along with links to people who know a lot more about this than I do.
Brief RundownLong story short, on February 10, a new law will go into effect which requires lead testing of all products designed for the primary use of children under the age of 12. Part of the problem with this law is the word "all." Testing is expensive. Most of what I have seen is $50 per component. So, let me use Jennie's business as an example. She makes baby slings. Let's say the slings are made of thread, two different fabrics, and metal loops. With testing for each component costing $50 to test and certify, the cost of testing would be $200. Then there would be an additional cost to retest the final product. I have no idea what that would be because I can't stand to inform myself further. What I also know is that because Jennie makes one-of-a-kind items, she would have to retest whenever she changes thread, fabric colors, and so on. This legislation will effectively eliminate one-of-a-kind items for children (except, perhaps, for the very rich or those who do it themselves) because it is so cost-prohibitive. For families who make their livings producing special, personalized items, this is a very serious issue.
I just can't bear to go on.

At a Denver Comic Con, William Shatner took time out to read the classic "Where the Wild Things Are" to a group of kids. The video for this isn't exactly spectacular, but you can still hear it all so here is what I suggest: Close your eyes, or click to a different tab on your computer and picture Captain Kirk reading this on the bridge of the Enterprise, or Denny Crane reading it on the balcony of a Boston Law firm, just because something is awesome, doesn't mean it can't be even more awesome.

Wed, Sep 24, 2008
ANN has learned some surprising details surrounding the recent
loss of a non-conforming flying prototype of the Cessna SkyCatcher
LSA during exclusive conversations with personnel from Cessna
Aircraft and BRS Parachutes.
Cessna's prototype Model 162 SkyCatcher light sport aircraft
(specifically shown above and below) crashed Thursday afternoon
near Douglass, KS on what was described as a routine test flight,
but a Cessna spokesperson now describes as an extensive evaluation
of the aircraft's spin matrix... this particular test being devoted
to "Full-Power, cross-controlled spins."
The prototype aircraft, N162XP, was one of three flight test
vehicles that Cessna has been evaluating, though this aircraft was
not a fully conforming airframe. The accident plane had over 150
flight hours. This airframe first flew in March of this year. The
company showed the production-spec SkyCatcher at Oshkosh in July.
The spokesperson said the aircraft's structure survived the impact
largely intact, with the wing and empennage still attached to the
fuselage, and that the emergency centered on issues of aircraft
control and not structures.
The test pilot bailed out of the aircraft at a fairly high
altitude and survived the incident with minor injuries.
Cessna has been pretty open and up-front with the matter, at
least to the extent of what is known just a few days after the
incident. So far, Cessna and BRS have both confirmed that the pilot
entered into some mode of irrecoverable flight condition in the
spin tests and attempted to fire the rocket-deployed BRS emergency
airframe parachute system. This corresponds to the "pops" and
"sparks" reported by some witnesses. However; the BRS "failed to
deploy as intended," according to a BRS staffer, and the pilot was
left with no other choice but to egress the aircraft. No reason has
been given for the alleged failure of the BRS parachute system but
BRS confirms that they have personnel on sight to participate in
the investigation.
The pilot safely extricated himself and successfully deployed a
Free Flight Preserve 1 canopy (thought to be part of a
Para-Phernalia parachute system... the leading user of that canopy
design), and landing about a quarter-mile from where the SkyCatcher
impacted. While the airframe hit the ground largely intact, Cessna
confirms that the aircraft is "totaled."
Cessna has undertaken an aggressive flight test program with the
SkyCatcher and their spokesperson confirms that the test program
"meets or exceeds" the specs laid out by ASTM for LSA
Certification. The first conforming test vehicle (P1) will take the
place of this aircraft in the test program and resume the
examinations fairly soon.
It's still too soon to say whether Thursday's crash will affect
Cessna's planned production schedule for the 162, which currently
calls for the plane to enter production in 2009, but Cessna staff
remain optimistic that the remaining test program can be conducted
and the aircraft certified so that the SkyCatcher can be offered on
a schedule close to that originally scheduled.
ANN will continue to update this story as more information
becomes available.

August 2007:
Avenging Victorio was reviewed in the September 2007, Midwest Book Reviews and on Kaye Trout Reviews. The review notes: "Avenging Victorio is indeed a fast-paced, fascinating, historical novel bound to entertain and educate at the same time. DeWitt's technique of telling this tale from two perspectives–the Apache's and the military–provides a truer sense of history and the cultures. As I live in the four-corners area just north of New Mexico, I personally enjoyed it immensely and highly recommend it to readers who enjoy historical western-type novels. Genre: Fiction/SW History; Rating: Excellent" The complete review is available here.
Avenging Victorio was reviewed on August 14, 2007, at Reader Views, an online book review service. The review notes: "Dave DeWitt created engaging and believable characters on both sides of the conflict, showing their motivation and their beliefs.... a well-rounded volume about fighters on both sides of the encounter as well as a very eye-opening read about the Apache culture and customs. ... an enthralling book, which grabs you quickly and does not let go. If you are like me, your only disappointment will be that it ends too quickly." The complete review is available at ReaderViews.com.
Avenging Victorio received a rave review on August 9, 2007, from BellaOnline.com.
The review notes, "... a throughly engrossing tale that takes the reader on a legendary journey ...For historical value alone, this book is a winner, yet it will intrigue you with its tales, its characters, and its sense of location, pulling you deeper and deeper into its depths, until you find yourself fully absorbed and engrossed in the territorial history of the late 1800's, never wanting it to end. I have never enjoyed a historical novel as much as I did this one." The complete review is available at BellaOnline.com.
Avenging Victorio is featured in the forthcoming titles listings for the Historical Novel Society Review.
Avenging Victorio is slated for review in the Independent Publisher magazine.
Governor Bill Richardson of New Mexico gives the book high praise!!!!
"David DeWitt makes the transition from cookbook author to novelist with ease in Avenging Victorio. He demonstrates considerable flair for characterization and for action as he convincingly presents both sides of the conflict between white settlers and Apache natives in this well researched and fascinating historical novel." — Judith Van Gieson, Southwest author
"New Mexican chile impresario David DeWitt's new novel tells the story of the Apache Nana and his clan avenging Victorio's defeat at the hands of General Edward Hatch, for whom the chile capital is named, in the southern mountains of New Mexico. It also tells the tale of the hidden Bridal Chamber cache of gold, silver and precious stones that still lures treasure seekers to Victorio's Peak. A tasty historical novel of the territory in the 1880s."—Ruth E. Francis, book marketing consultant
"Rich in authentic detail of Apache life ways and war practices, this book vividly recreates one of the last major episodes of Indian raiding in the desert Southwest. Once started, I found DeWitt's engrossing book hard to put down. Powerful and absorbing!"— Marc Simmons, author and historian

For a mid priced range used clothing shopping experience, search
resale shops in your area. Resale shops offer all price ranges for
used clothing and are often more organized than a flea market or
thrift store. Be sure to have your children try the clothes on since
many of these stores do not allow for returns.
For newer used clothing, consider shopping in a consignment shop.
Consignment shops are often full of newer clothing that is offered at
up to 60% off the retail price.
If your children are internet users, set them up on an online auction
site to bid on the clothes that they want within a pre-set budget.
While there is a downside of not being able to try the clothes on,
this is a fun way to shop for your children. Online consignment shops
are also a great way to find newer clothes, similar to what you would
find in a physical consignment store. Both of these online shopping
styles will allow your kids to shop quickly, from the comfort of your
own home and the flexibility to shop in multiple stores without ever
leaving the house. This is sometimes easier for parents as well since
they don't have to drive the children to and from used clothing

PICKERING -- Traffic issues in rural hamlets and the loss of valuable farmland in Pickering dominated discussion surrounding a proposal for Seaton's employment lands.
Plans for the lands were presented as part of a zoning amendment application during a public information meeting on Jan. 9 in Pickering council chambers. The proposal covered only a small portion of the future Seaton community, detailing plans for 61.6 hectares of developable land for "prestige employment" uses, including office and retail, and another 14.6 hectares for "prestige employment node uses," including non-office and retail. The lands surround Hwy. 407 on the north and south between Sidelines 26 and 22, and plans include areas for natural heritage buffer zones.View the plans here.
"Not all employment lands are being considered here tonight," said Ross Pym, principal planner, development review, for the City of Pickering.
"These are just the very first phase of planned employment lands. Seaton lands are all designated as prestige employment lands, the vision is for high quality employment lands that reflect the needs of the community and are sufficient to generate jobs for the area."
Seaton is a planned satellite city north of Pickering, to be serviced by the Hwy. 407 toll road, where residents can live, work and play. The community would be home to 70,000 people and offer 35,000 jobs. The development, which the Province initially proposed in the 1970s, is projected to be fully built out by 2031.
In September 2011, council approved plans for three Seaton neighbourhoods, including the employment lands area, which has been labelled the Pickering Innovation Corridor.
Whitevale resident Marion Thomas questioned the assumption that businesses will locate in the area, and that employees would travel to the area via Hwy. 407.
"There seems to be an unusual reliance on Hwy. 407 to provide the main transportation corridor," she said during a delegation to council.
"I believe it's unrealistic to anticipate employees who work here will be able to afford the added expense of a toll road. I'm also concerned that there's nothing in the area to entice businesses to actually locate here. If I was a business looking to locate in Pickering, I would be looking for facilities and places to hold meetings but there's nothing there, all I see are potential warehouses."
Another main concern of residents was the fact that much of the area is currently classified as agricultural and consists of prime farmland.
"Humans are the most invasive species and based on that I think it's time to tell the Province not only does the buck stop here but the bulldozers and the cement trucks stop here," said Michael Fearon, a Greenwood resident.
"We have to feed ourselves from these lands. A lot of prime farmland has already been paved but there's still a lot on the books and we have the power to make sure these things don't happen."
The abundance of available commercial space was also pointed out by Whitby resident Ed Vikari, who pointed to available industrial space in Oshawa, Whitby and Pickering as an example of what might happen to Seaton's development.
"I'm surprised at the timing of this transfer of farmland to employment lands when there's such an abundance in the city already," Mr. Vikari said.
"It makes no sense to me to convert open land and farmland when there's no need for it right now. Empty lands should be a priority to get used first because the infrastructure is already in place, whereas here to put all that infrastructure in it's going to cost taxpayers."
Councillor Jennifer O'Connell agreed that assuming the majority of workers would use Hwy. 407 may be unrealistic. She asked staff to address the issue in an upcoming report by asking the applicant, which in this case is the Province, to provide traffic studies for alternate routes. She also requested an inventory of unused commercial and industrial lands in existing urban Pickering, specifically along Bayly Street.
A report on the zoning application will come before councillors at a future planning and development committee meeting.

REITs on the Street: 5 Top REIT Resolutions for 2014
NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- It's simple. If you think the economy is going to improve in 2014, in my view you should own REITs. Now is a great time to have more tactical REIT exposure, as REIT prices are down considerably, but the economy isn't. And dividend investors should consider REITs as part of their New Year's strategy to build a solid portfolio of income stocks that will pay off over time.
Remember that it's much better to be in an environment with increasing fundamentals and rising rates, vs. decreasing fundamentals and lowering rates. Over the long term, REITs have proven to be a good hedge against inflation because of the possibility to raise rents in an inflationary environment. Real estate has low correlation with the broader market, which increases return and reduces risk, and really diversifies asset allocation.
As you consider your tactical REIT investments in 2014, I wanted to offer you a few tips.
Tip #1: Choose dividend growth over dividend yield.One of the most tempting things for new dividend investors are high-yielding stocks. Many of the highest-yielding stocks are made up of companies ready to make a dividend cut, as banks did a few years ago. Instead of focusing only on dividend yield, investors should be looking at dividend growth. A REIT that continues to increase its dividend by 10% every year with a low yield is much better than investing in an unstable company with a current 10% yield. (VTR). Over the last twelve years, the $18 billion healthcare REIT has increased its dividend an average of 9.5% per year. Also, including the latest dividend increase of 8%, Ventas has increased its dividend by 10.3% in 2013. Ventas is trading at $57.24 a share -- a sound valuation multiple of 13.8 times price to funds from operations (P/FFO) -- with an attractive dividend yield of 5.07%.

Most birth mothers and birth fathers have a difficult time emotionally when placing their child for adoption.
Some birth mothers and birth fathers are able to go through the entire pregnancy, birth, and adoption process without difficulty and, in fact, feel a great deal of relief and pride knowing they have
given life to a child and assured the child of having a safe and loving home. However, the majority of birth mothers who are considering adoption do so with some doubt and emotional pain.
A woman who is pregnant is faced with the decision of having to carry the baby to term or to terminate the pregnancy. Then, if she
has carried the baby to term, she will have to raise the child herself, raise the child with the birth father, let family or friends raise the child, place the child in foster care, or place the child for
adoption. Any of these decisions have a life long impact on the birth mother, the birth father, and on the child. And all of the decisions carry with them significant emotion impact.
For some birth mothers the decision to place a child for adoption is reached quickly because it is obvious to her that her emotional, physical, and financial place in life does not allow
her to care for her child in the way she would want. Maybe the birth mother's school or work situation does not lend itself to parenting a child at this time. Or the situation with the birth
father is far from what the birth mother would really like. Or this is an unexpected or unwanted pregnancy. Or the birth mother does not have the financial resources to give
her child what she believes the child needs or deserves. Or, the list could go on and on. Indeed there are very many good reasons for a birth mother and birth father to decide on adoption.
For other birth mothers and birth fathers the decision to place a child for adoption is not reached quickly or easily but only after much soul searching and only after a great deal of emotional
Even after the decision to place the child for adoption has been made, emotional turmoil and depression are common. In many cases it continues through the placement, through the
ending of parental rights, and sometimes for a significant period of time afterward.
It is important to recognize that doubts, concerns, and even depression are common feelings accompanying pregnancy, the birth of a child and the adoption process. Help with these
emotional issues can usually be obtained from the adoption agency the birth mother contacts or from a psychologist
or other mental health care provider.
Depression is often the most common response a birth mother or birth father experiences in placing a child for adoption, but there are several
other typical emotional responses.
Placing a child for adoption can cause a sense of loss that can begin with the pregnancy itself
as the birth mother and birth father come to accept the reality of the pregnancy. These feeling of loss can often be replaced with the hope that placing the child for adoption will result in a better life for their baby and for themselves.
The birth and the actual surrendering of the baby may prompt feelings
shock and denial, as well as grief in the birth parents. All of these feelings are normal reactions
to loss. When birth parents first deal with their loss, the grief may be expressed as denial. The denial serves as a shield to protect them from the pain of the loss. This denial may be followed by sorrow or depression as
the loss becomes more real. Anger and
guilt may follow, with anger sometimes being directed at those who helped with the adoption placement. While
the actual physical loss occurs soon after the birth of the child, in some cases the reality of the loss does not take place until months later.
Additional losses may occur as a result of the pregnancy and placement. In some cases, as a result of the stresses of the pregnancy,
birth, and subsequent placement decision, the birth mother loses her relationship with the birth father and sometimes with her own family who may disapprove of her actions. Additionally, the birth mother may lose friends who are not supportive
or she may find herself loosing her job and colleagues.
Many birth parents find themselves dealing with guilt
and shame for having placed their child for adoption. This guilt and shame can be associated with the unplanned pregnancy itself or with admitting the situation to parents, friends, and co-workers. After the birth of the child the birth parent
may experience new feelings of guilt about "giving up" their child. The guilt and shame is all too frequently supported by the secrecy surrounding the adoption process.
Dealing with the Emotions
In general, a birth mother or birth father should actively seek out friends, support groups, or a qualified adoption
agency or psychologist and openly share their feelings. Being able to openly share feelings can be helpful in moving through the stages of grief
and achieving some resolution.
Acceptance of the loss and working through the grief does not mean that you will forget you gave life to a child or that you will never again feel sorrow or regret for the loss. Rather, it means that
you can go forward with you life and integrate this loss into your life experience.
For additional information you may find the Child Welfare Information Gateway factsheet Emotional Responses to Adoption Placement to
be helpful.
