Did America ever reclaim her glory? Were we victorious, can we declare the result a victory? I recall Bush II making a speech on an aircraft carrier with a "MISSION ACCOMPLISHED" banner hanging behind him, but I also recall that speech being mocked like all of his other works. In those days, you could ridicule the intellect of the President without being called racist. So it goes.
Did we ever pacify Iraq or Afghanistan? Did we ever defeat Al-Qaeda? Doesn't look like it, though we now have a movie telling us how our Navy SEALs took out Bin Laden. I heard it was an awesome movie… I'll chew cut glass in Hell before I watch it.

The U.S. Air Force cyber community is failing for a single fundamental reason: the community does not exist. In 2010, the communications community began to be identified as the cyber community. An operational cyberspace badge was created, and those who previously had been communications professionals now were seen as cyberwarriors. This change did not effectively take into account that cyber and communications are two distinct fields and should be entirely separate communities.
When attempting to identify cyber operators, it is impossible to look at the cyber Air Force specialty codes (AFSCs) as an indicator. In the officer ranks, only a small fraction ever takes part in on-keyboard or operational missions where the effects of cyber are leveraged for exploitation, attack or defense. Yet, all of the personnel wear the badge and identify themselves, some cynically so, as part of the cybercommunity.
This faux community creates problems when trying to identify the personnel needed for a mission. It is a distinct way of thinking and set of skills that enables an operator to target adversary networks or take an active role in defense. As an example, many people consider themselves computer network defense operators and are consulted as such. Yet, often they participate in more of a communications or maintenance role. They establish, maintain and oversee networks. This is a very important role—maybe even more important than a defense operator's role when done correctly—but it is different. Applying vendor-issued software patches is not defense; it is maintenance.
Cyberdefense uses a variety of different sources and methodologies to mitigate active threats using fields such as incident response, malware analysis, digital forensics or even intelligence-driven defense. Instead of having clear separation between communications and cyber roles, the term cyber is applied to anything that can be remotely justified. The field is plagued with those who want to use the term and community to try to advance their own causes and careers. It is important to remember that even with the best intentions, members who have not participated in cyber operations will have a limited perspective of what is required. Some of the best leaders are not those who take command and usher in new change but instead those who stand out of the way.
Instead of having well-trained analysts who can be identified by their AFSC, the Air Force now has a number of personnel who are called cyber operators but are not. Most do not understand the domain or how to operate within it. By quickly creating this blended community and renaming everything cyber, the Air Force appears to be taking action to defend national security. However, the actual result is difficulty in supplying core training and education useful to the field; finding the people actually wanted as operators; and assigning operators to the right missions. The combination of these three aspects is the most common denominator among cyber operators who are leaving the Air Force. These operators want to have mission satisfaction while being challenged and developed, but because of the lack of a cybercommunity they are more likely to find what they are looking for in civilian jobs.
One of the most important aspects for mission success is properly training and educating the force. When the communications community was directed to transform into the cybercommunity, the mission of the communications field remained. In addition, the majority of communication professionals would never take part in cyber operations or have an on-keyboard mission. So, the education and training developed for the new "cybercommunity" had too much on which to focus. Another byproduct is that this training could not be so technical that communications professionals could not complete it.
A perfect example of this blended communications and cybertraining can be found in the Undergraduate Cyberspace Training (UCT) schoolhouse that all incoming 17D cyberspace officers must complete. The six-month UCT course spends part of its time introducing 17Ds to tactical communications, communications ethos and legality, and other traditional communications training. The rest of the time is spent trying to educate the students on cyber operations and the different skillsets. The instructors who were directed to stand up the course did an amazing job with what they had, but they were asked to complete an impossible task. Out of each class of about 15 students, only two will be selected for an operational cybermission. With only about 15 percent of the students going on to be cyber operators, the material had to be passable and understandable by everyone so the majority of students who go on to communications missions could succeed.
This is not a feasible strategy for providing core technical training to an operational cyberforce. If two distinct communities existed, the communications personnel could take material that is most relevant to their profession. This would allow the cyberpersonnel to spend their entire training time focusing on skills the nation needs. Additionally, cybertraining could be extended to cover more core skills that give hands-on experience to more technically challenging and advanced skillsets. Instead, cyber operators that come out of training are expected to do extensive on-the-job training to gain skills they should have been taught. Proper discussions on what type of education and training is needed after the core training cannot be held, because the core training does not provide the skills it should. From this flaw all other training programs for cyber operators are affected.
After training, cyberspace officers are given operational cyberspace badges. These badges, or cyberwings, can be earned through the six-month course or a transition course. The considerably shorter online transition course allows personnel of different AFSCs to wear the badge if they are in a cyberspace-related job, but in reality most of those jobs are communications missions. The course gives only the most basic understanding of terminology and does not develop, train or test cyber-related skills. Not only is the AFSC not a good identifier of a cyber operator, but neither is the cyberspace badge. With this in mind, leaders have discussed ideas for giving special experience identifiers (SEIs) to personnel with specialized cyberskills. But, because of the flaws in identifying personnel with relation to their AFSC or badge, the SEI then becomes a detractor. An SEI is not a proper method for identifying an entire community. The SEI further separates out personnel and makes it harder for talented analysts to end up in jobs for which they do not have the SEI but may have the passion and aptitude to excel.
In readying mission tasking and filling cybermission needs from organizations such as the combatant commands and the intelligence community, the Air Force cannot succeed. The teams that are established to deal with national level problems cannot gain access to properly trained and easily identifiable personnel. This results in a personality-driven team that gets its start because a commander knows someone he or she believes could do the job. Using name requests for personnel to operate and lead all cybermissions is not sustainable on a large scale and over time. When leaders who are chosen for command look to staff their teams, they do not know where to begin because the mission tasking was designed for a community that already should be trained and identified.
National cyberteams, especially at combatant commands, are stood up with the expectation that the military services have accomplished their main function with regards to the troops: organize, train and equip. In this regard the Air Force has not met mission success. Other organizations such as the U.S. Cyber Command can attempt to provide additional training, but it is ineffective when built off the core training currently available. The Air Force's role in these national cyberteams will fail from the lack of a cybercommunity.
The personnel in charge who are making decisions to try to fix these issues are neither complacent nor incompetent. Men and women at every rank are trying to help the Air Force understand and succeed in cyberspace. However, no good ideas can be generated and implemented to ensure the securing of the cyberspace domain when all the ideas are created from a fundamentally flawed origin. Yet, there is an ability to change this flawed start.
If the Air Force is willing to split the communications and cyber communities, then the men and women in each who serve honorably will be able to establish ways forward. Cyber cannot be a buzzword that is used to obtain larger portions of the budget or secure contracts. Cyber must be a term that belongs to a specific community that is truly operational. Cyber must be its own community and have its own leaders. Those who say cyberpersonnel are too technical to lead their own are only trying to find a way to stay relevant in a domain they do not understand. Leaders will rise through the ranks as they always have; it is not a quality of any specific career field but of the professionalism of the armed forces.
Many men and women in the U.S. Air Force are ready to answer their nation's call, to readily advance their skills, and to secure the cyberspace domain. It is only by accepting the need for a different approach that the communications community can return to its roots and the cybercommunity can begin to grow in its own right. A true cybercommunity and culture will see the development of leaders, innovators, educators, operators and the type of passionate people required to respond to the nation's adversaries. The Air Force stands in a prime position to allow this cyberculture to develop and lead the way forward. Otherwise, with the passage of time, the Air Force very well may be known not for its mastery and securing of the aerial domain but instead for its failure in the cyber realm.
1st Lt. Robert M. Lee, USAF, is a flight commander and national-level cyberteam lead at an intelligence squadron in Germany working under the Air Force Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance Agency. The views expressed by him in this article do not constitute an endorsement by, or opinion of, the U.S. Air Force or the U.S. Department of Defense.
While I agree with some of the author's points regarding the difficulty of identifying those individuals who have the aptitude to excel in this challenging field, I don't believe the plan to develop these folks at UCT is sustainable. The numbers just aren't there. The mission of the school house is to provide entry level training for the entire community and then identify those with the possible skills that require further development. This "AF" model works because the numbers are there. The only other way to pull this off would be to develop a Joint entry level program. That opens up a whole other can of worms that are too numerous to get into here.
Thanks for the feedback and you pose a great question. I think the root of the problem though is that there isn't one "community" but instead two entirely different communities that have been both impacted by being combined. Even if a certain level of numbers are needed for sustainability it is an issue that must be addressed and the answer cannot reasonably be to plus up those required numbers with people who do not need that training. In essence it's creating a training pipeline where the "pass rate" is around ~15% if the purpose is to identify the people with the skills for further development. The skills in the training are not up to speed with core cyber skills required and they are overkill for comm skills. It's insulting to the "B-Shreds" and can create a certain sense of animosity or unneeded division. Even being able to identify people as "B-Shreds" (which is common) as a community indicates an issue. We do not have a cyber community in the Air Force. We have a Cyber/Comm combined community that while attached bring both down. The traditional comm community, mindset, culture, mission, etc. is extremely rich in heritage and is critical to the AF's mission. This mindset that everyone needs to be an operator is something that is not beneficial to the overall AF mission.
Cyber personnel and cyber skills are not easy to develop and you cannot just create them regardless of what you name the job or AFSC. Unfortunately the approach we've taken is that traditional AF model that you've mentioned but it is not reasonable and ultimately creates a force where you do not know who is capable of what. You simply cannot look to the AFSC or Cyber Wings right now as an indication of who can perform a "cyber" mission. It's unacceptable and creates massive problems for the Air Force as well as Joint and National teams that try to staff their billets with the appropriate personnel. To be fair though one of the problems is that we as a force call everything cyber. It's become a joke to most civilian teams, conferences, and other services. There's a lot of money on the line so there's a huge incentive to label everything cyber and pretend we're all ops. Some people honestly believe they need "cyber troops" when all they want is network architecture and maintenance. Anti-Virus companies and other vendors have sold this concept of the "Advanced Persistent Threat" as an unstoppable force and that has been another reason for a quick reaction to try to operationalize "cyber" and defend our networks.
"Please do not blame us for not doing our job, it was the APT and we all know defense is REALLY hard!"
When you take a look at almost every single campaign the initial infection vector (and it's not an attack, it's an infection or exploitation attempt but that's another point entirely) is usually a phishing email or some other basic aspect of security. The non-sexy truth is that the basics of security are the most important thing. The advanced adversaries will get in eventually but right now as a community we do not even stop the easy intrusions; adversaries do not have to do anything fancy to win. We must raise the bar and we already know how. Network architecture and maintenance is NOT a defense function but it is the single most important component of defense. But that's hard to make sound great on a contract, EPR, or OPR so you can expect us to have "cyber defense" teams who have no hands-on-keyboard skills and "A-Shreds" who end up patching networks. We have a lot of great people in the Air Force with amazing skills who are getting out because instead of the Air Force realizing we only have a small number of cyber troops and we need to to develop more in a correct albeit slow manner, we've labeled everyone cyber and now the people with skills have a hard time getting into the right jobs. They can serve national defense more easily outside of the Air Force in many instances. That is a huge failure on the Air Force's part.
I'm deviating from your initial point/question but it's just to show that there are so many issues. And we won't really be able to figure them out or determine what is or is not possible because the community does not exist. It's not possible to try to solve any of these issues though without establishing an actual cyber community as well as a realistic way of identifying them. From there that community can figure out the way forward.
You make some good points and your thinking mirrors that of a significant number of folks within the 17D community. However, I'm not convinced that simply splitting career fields addresses the long-term requirements for resourcing cyberspace professionals. "Organizational missteps" are strong words because, as you state, a lot of good people with the best of intentions, have tried to advance the ball down the field under some challenging circumstances and I would submit that given the constraints and surrounding issues, we're fortunate to be where we are. I'd also submit that we're only a few years toward a desired end state and that while we may not be postured most efficiently, right now, we have built a career force development construct that, admittedly with some tweaks, will allow us the flexibility to meet future needs.
Some perspective, the AF started the move toward a cyberspace career field in the early 2000's and the leadership was well aware that we were building for the long term. The old conundrum comes to mind, "How do you build a good general? Start with a Lt and get back to me in 25 years." The point being that if you want to grow a career force, you only have two options, start from zero or transition a number of folks that are already out there into the new force. Unfortunately, we didn't and don't have the luxury of time to grow a career force from scratch, hence the decision to transition the entire 33S. Additionally, establishing a career force involves much more than just cultivating technical aptitude and experience.
Keep in mind the core purpose of the service component, "Organize, rain and equip." The training pipeline and support functions had to be established to get the career force moving and that involved skillsets that had more to do with management and leadership than just cyberspace (i.e. I need more than just a cyberspace professional to stand up a course at a schoolhouse, I need folks experienced in instructional systems design, I need folks that understand contracting, budgeting, etc.). Also some thought had to be and was given as to how the career force would be utilized and professionally developed; however, these decisions had to be made before US Cyber Command even existed, before the Cyber C2 CONOPs existed, before the combatant command even knew or stated what their requirements would be for forces, and certainly before the Cyber Force Model had been given any thought. However, we knew we had to start somewhere and it's important to keep in mind that we had an established model for grooming cyber professionals because we'd already been supporting NSA for years. So basically, we scaled up what we already had in the absence of solid requirements but with the anticipation that it had to be flexible enough to get very large, very fast.
Another factor to consider is that the Air Force personnel management and professional development processes add another challenge to growing the career force, particularly because it doesn't offer a clean construct for growing and tracking expertise that can be assigned where needed consistently. That's a not a bug, that's a feature that at a minimum ensures you have a large enough pool of talent to choose from and that every technician has some baseline level of training and experience (it also levels the playing field for opportunity).
So while I don't disagree with your arguments, I think it's worth viewing them through the lens of the larger challenge...how do you provision a force (which you believe may not be right-sized currently, but that may have to surge in 2-3 FYDPs in the future), using the existing personnel system (which works pretty well for 90% of existing AFSCs), to ensure we can produce the capacity for a force that may easily outnumber other operational career fields within 10-20 years?
I came upon this article when reading the Nov 2013 Signal Magazine. Catching up on some professional reading. I went through the Lt's article and these are the very same things we discussed at AFIT in 2005/2006, and on the AF CIO staff from 2006 - 2009 when the foundation for the cyber career field was being developed and the AFNetOps construct was being planned and stood up. Two things: 1) BL: we still need to fully define Cyber before we press forward with professional development concepts. You can gain a lot of insight into this if you study the early 2000 Space arena studies and stand up of their professional development program; and 2) we saw the issues is designating all former 33S officers as 17D officers and the future lack of focus on the core 33S functions to maintain MAJCOM and base-level communications proficiencies. And, with the lack of Cyber understanding and the AFIT Cyber Training in its infancy at that time...we thought putting all "the eggs in one basket" was a poor idea. However, the hallowing of the 33S force through PBD 720 cuts, functional FOA realignment, and the AFNetOps 33S re-alignment did not afford us any favors in fully grasping the magnitude of transitioning all 33S officers to the 17D officer career field. You might be able to glean some insight into my thoughts circa 2006 from my AFIT Communications Officer Professional Development Research Project on a potential way forward on concentrating on KSAs and key alignment to mission requirements like Cyber and Communications. -- Brian Jenrette
I went through UCT / INWT last year and identified similar issues - UCT should have been taught as two courses, one for B-shreds and a follow-on for A-shreds. A combat communications LT doesn't need much of what is an A-shred centric course.
What should be done is UCT pared down to a three month B-shred course and all the A-shred material pushed into INWT / PIQT. WARNING: AETC ricebowls will be threatened.
Nice work, Robert, and I applaud your courage to tell the truth. In times of universal deceit, speaking the truth is a subversive act. Billy Mitchell would have approved.
UCT is fine. It's sufficiently broad and pretty challenging for many considering the prerequisites for entry.
The reality is that all 17D's are being groomed for leadership, not technical expertise. Those that want to stay technical should have enlisted as a 1B or not commissioned at all.
A well prepared 17D is one with skill breadth. And that breadth starts in UCT.
Discussions about the cyber badge are just silly. You can do better. I'm surprised you didn't mention cyber suits!
Great discussion of the situation. As we continue to build out CMF and all that it entails, the role of the 17DA/17S is hotly debated. Having been involved with the standup of UCT, the build out of CMF, and the training pipelines overall, I can say that the greatest area of deficiency is in DEFINING the role of a cyber operator. Are they managers who marginally understand the career field? Are they keyboard ninjas? How do they interact and differentiate between the 1B4s? Are they assigned to every weapon system and ONLY the weapon systems? Are they only in CMF teams? Once these questions are consistently answered, we will be able to formulate a way forward. As it stands now, the answers go back and forth with the wind.

LINCOLN, Neb. — This was building toward one raucous plane ride home.
UCLA players could be heard screaming their "Mighty Bruin" chant from the locker room. Coach Jim Mora was wired postgame, talking so much about his team needing to breathe that he seemed to forget to do it himself. Brett Hundley was hung up on the word "epic."
That was the giddiness following a 41-21 victory over No. 23 Nebraska on Saturday. The No. 16 Bruins spotted the Cornhuskers an 18-point lead, then raced through a third quarter, scoring 28 points to send a record 91,471 fans staggering out of Memorial Stadium. This seemed as easy as cow tipping.
GAME SUMMARY: UCLA 41, Nebraska 21
What follows will be a somber bus ride to San Clemente on Sunday, where a memorial service will be held for UCLA receiver Nick Pasquale, who died a week ago after being struck by a car.
Players spent the week in an emotional maze, not finding their way out until late in the second quarter Saturday. A blur of a third quarter followed, where the Bruins scored four touchdowns in four possessions.
"This is something we can feel proud about," said Hundley, who threw for 294 yards and three touchdowns. "We started playing the way Nick always played."
The Bruins (2-0) were sent off on this trip by the Pasquale family, who spoke with the team Friday morning. The message was "go out and win," linebacker Anthony Barr said.
Said Mora: "We wanted to go out and play with the type of enthusiasm and passion that reflect what he meant to us."
It took a while, but the Bruins got up to that speed.
Nebraska's Taylor Martinez threw three touchdown passes in the first half as the Cornhuskers took a 21-3 lead. The Bruins helped out with mistakes. Hundley had a pass intercepted, setting up one score. Punter Sean Covington mishandled a snap, setting up another.
"You can't believe how tough it was on them unless you were in our locker room this week," Mora said. "Nick had such an influence on our team. He was a little guy who played only one snap, but they respect heck out him."
Mora had one word for the UCLA offense late in the second quarter"Breathe."
When the Bruins exhaled, the Cornhuskers (2-1) were blown away.
UCLA's four touchdown drives in the third quarter totaled 7 minutes 6 seconds.
Running back Jordon James started things with a 38-yard run and finished the drive with a three-yard touchdown run to cut the lead to 21-17. Hundley kept the Cornhuskers on their heels, throwing touchdown passes of 28, 12 and three yards.
"When we're movin' and groovin' like that, things happen," Hundley said.
Offensive coordinator Noel Mazzone said Hundley "was trying so hard to score and score right now" in the first half. Mazzone shouldered a little of that, saying, "I have to be careful not to over-think things. I have all these fancy plays I want to call."
When the Bruins simplified, they dominated a team that was once known for bully-like defense. UCLA had 210 yards rushing, 105 by James, and 504 total yards.
The UCLA defense was able to handle the pace despite getting little rest due to the offensive pace.

Another year gone and another year of New Year Resolutions, so what's the difference between this year and last? Last year most of our resolutions were long gone within a month. What can we do to make this year different, what are tricks of the trade to allow us to ditch that weight, save more money, go back to school or get that dream job? Statistics show that only about 8% of us stick to our resolutions. How can you become an 8 Percenter?1) Keep your resolutions simple with a short time frame.
Most of us go into our New Year's Resolution with big ambitions and huge goals, which is good because a year is a long time. The problem with big goals is they seem impossible sometimes. Lets take some common resolutions and see how we can make them easier. Imagine someone wants to lose 50lbs by the summer, save $8000, and get a new job. After a day in the gym, a couple of days working OT, or a week of sending out resumes with no reply, the goals start to seem unattainable. Now simplifying these goals will make them seem easier. Instead of trying to lose 50 lbs in six months, try losing 8 lbs this month, or better yet 2 lbs this week. Instead of trying to save $8000 this year, try saving $667 this month, or better yet try saving $154 this week. Lastly, in regards to getting your new dream job, make your goal to send out 2 resumes a day, rather than just an open goal of finding your dream job.
2) Use Technology
It seems like everybody has a Smartphone. We all love the apps from Google and Apple, so why not use them to our benefit. There are tons of free apps that can help you track your weight loss, savings, and help you find jobs easier. Many of the free apps for weight loss let you track the amount of calories you have eaten and burned; making it easier to stay on your weekly, monthly, and yearly goals. Some banking apps let you easily break down your income so you know where your money is going and the easiest way to hit your savings goal.
A great example of an app that can assist you in reaching your goals is the Smooth Fitness mySmooth app. The mySmooth app connects wirelessly to your Smooth Fitness Treadmill and Elliptical and keeps track of your Distance, Time, Pace, Calories burned, Average speed, Heart Rate, etc., over days, weeks, months, and years; all while giving you a virtual outdoor workout experience at the convenience of your home treadmill.

I tasted hydrometer samples of my two latest brews this afternoon, and I'm more impressed than I've ever been with my brewing!
The first sample was my most recent. A pale ale brewed last Friday based on Edwort's Haus Pale recipe. My changes were Amarillo instead of Cascade, and C60 instead of C10. Otherwise it was exactly the same. I used washed yeast for the first time, built up a starter, fermented at 60 degrees for the first four days, raised to 68 for four more, hit 1.009. The flavor, even this young, was super clean and balanced. Slightly 'green' at the beginning, but fading into malty goodness for the finish. I'm going to make this my house ale for sure!
The second sample was my Stone Double Bastard clone. I brewed this on 11/5, with an OG of 1.100. Finished at 1.028 for 9.7% ABV. It's an AMAZING deep red color with a spicy hoppiness that can't be ignored. The balance on this beer is great too, and I'm really excited to taste the finished product after a few more months of cellaring, a week of dry hopping, and, of course, carbonation.
A proud day indeed! I feel like I'm really getting a handle on this hobby.
I love it when it when a plan comes together.
Congrats man, nothing like beer you can be proud of!
Yeah sounds awesome!
Said it before:
Welcome to the addiction. Please keep your hands, arms, feet, legs and other bodily appendages in the coach at all times.

A new report predicts that climate change wil
American military leaders identify climate change as an "immediate" security threat
Climate change is already affecting the operations of the United States Department of Defense, and will figure prominently into future military plans, according to a report released by the Pentagon on Monday.
At a conference of defense ministers in Santiago, Chile, US Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel unveiled his department's plan to change operations to address the changing conditions related to global warming. The report, described as a "climate change adaptation roadmap," confronts the challenges resulting from rising global temperatures, changing patterns of precipitation, more severe extreme weather events, and rising sea levels.
The report states that these changes will likely lead to food and water shortages, increased numbers of refugees, and political instability in already volatile regions like the Middle East.
Climate change has been indicted for contributing to the social unrest that drove the Syrian civil war. Now, the impacts of climate change on conflict are back in the news as the terrorist group ISIS targets water installations along the Euphrates and Tigris Rivers to increase their tactical advantage.
For years, the US Department of Defense has officially regarded climate change as a "threat multiplier" that worsens existing conflicts. Upon the launch of the new report, Hagel reiterated this point:
In our defense strategy, we refer to climate change as a 'threat multiplier' because it has the potential to exacerbate many of the challenges we are dealing with today—from infectious disease to terrorism. We are already beginning to see some of these impacts.
He continued:
Climate change does not directly cause conflict, but it can add to the challenges of global instability, hunger, poverty, and conflict. Food and water shortages, pandemic disease, disputes over refugees and resources, more severe natural disasters—all place additional burdens on economies, societies and institutions around the world.
Monday's report reveals an evolution of thinking on climate change within the Department of Defense, with global warming now being regarded as an immediate factor in day-to-day decisions, rather than merely as a future threat.
According to the roadmap, climate change considerations will immediately be factored into purchasing decisions and plans for training exercises and war games.
The report also noted the existing impacts on climate change on military facilities in regions like the Hampton Roads in Virginia, where recurrent tidal flooding has begun to affect bases.
The Center for Climate and Security, a policy group that prominently featurse a board of retired senior military officers, greeted the Pentagon's report with approval. In a joint statement, the group's co-directors lauded the Pentagon's refusal to "kick the can down the road" on climate and urged policymakers to follow the military's lead on tackling global warming head on.

"...most importantly, to all the kids who watch our show and the kids who our show celebrates who are constantly told 'no' by the people in the environment or bullies at school that they can't be who they are, or have what they want because of who they are—well, screw that, kids!"Chris Colfer (b. 1990) grew up outside of Fresno, CA, doing oral interpretation for the speech team in high school as well as participating in the drama club and doing community theatre, including the role of Kurt von Trapp in The Sound of Music.Then, one day, he auditioned for a little show called Glee.Colfer actually auditioned for the role of wheelchair-bound nerd Artie, but show creator Ryan Murphy was impressed by Colfer's talent and charm. He scrapped a preplanned character and replaced him with the character of Kurt Hummel (named after Colfer's prior role as Kurt from Sound of Music, and the cherubic Hummel figurines), a Camp Gay countertenor. Much of Kurt's character is inspired by Colfer and Murphy's own struggles growing up gay. Since the show's premiere, Kurt has become one of Glee's most beloved characters due to Colfer's heartfelt portrayal. Even Television Without Pity adores him. He won a Golden Globe Award for his work on the series in 2011, and scored Emmy nominations in both 2010 and 2011.Colfer is currently in the process of expanding his work beyond Glee (of the original cast, he and Amber Riley had the least professional experience going in), writing, executive producing and starring in the coming-of-age comedy Struck By Lightning (which had its world premiere at the 2012 Tribeca Film Festival), writing the pilot script for a potential television series based on the book The Little Lost Witch and penning a couple of children's novels, the first of which (The Land of Stories: The Wishing Spell) made the New York Times Children's Literature best-seller list in its first week of publication.He has a thing for Alpacas.
—Chris Colfer, 2011 Golden Globe Awards

Did you know: "The National Hobo Convention is held in Britt, Iowa each year in early to mid August. Hobos come to town and stay in the "Hobo Jungle" telling stories around campfires at night. A hobo king and queen are named each year and get to ride on special floats in the Hobo Day parade. Following the parade, mulligan stew is served to hundreds of people in the city park as live entertainment, a carnival, and a flea market give everyone something to do."

Sorry, we need PR.

There's something to be said about a company or CEO that is a philanthropist not for other, but themselves. Sometimes that can cause a negative reputation trying to be positive in rare cases.

OBAMA: "After years of grueling recession, our businesses have created over 6 million new jobs."
THE FACTS: That's in the ballpark, as far as it goes. But Obama starts his count not when he took office, but from the point in his first term when job losses were the highest. In doing so, he ignores the 5 million or so jobs that were lost on his watch, up to that point.
Private sector jobs have grown by 6.1 million since February 2010. But since he became president, the gain is a more modest 1.9 million.
And when losses in public sector employment are added to the mix, his overall jobs record is a gain of 1.2 million.
OBAMA: "We have doubled the distance our cars will go on a gallon of gas."
THE FACTS: Not so fast.
That's expected to happen in 12 more years.
Under a deal the Obama administration reached with automakers in 2011, vehicles will have a corporate average fuel economy of 54.5 miles per gallon by 2025, twice the 27 miles per gallon, on average, that cars and trucks get today. Automobile manufacturers won't start making changes to achieve the new fuel economy standards until model year 2017. Not all cars will double their gas mileage, since the standard is based on an average of a manufacturers' fleet.
OBAMA: "Already the Affordable Care Act is helping to reduce the growth of health care costs."
THE FACTS: The jury is still out on whether Obama's health care overhaul will reduce the growth of health care costs. It's true that cost increases have eased, but many experts say that's due to the sluggish economy, not to the health care law, whose main provisions are not yet fully in effect.

I dutifully did a little research and I have a comparison for you:
First 2nd Term SOTU Comparison:
Obama (2103)
"My" = 25
"Me" = 3
Reagan (1985)
"My" = 0
"Me" = 0+8
Obama – "I am not gay!"+2
With the Westminster Kennel Club show and the Indonesian's speech about the only thing on the tube last night, it was no contest when it came to which dog to watch.+5
Fact: Under Obamacare I went from paying NOTHING for my healthcare to a $3000 deductible then a 10% copay.
It saves me nothing and takes all the hard work I've put in to get where I WAS away.
I'm ready to go Gault.+2
I was surprised that I had so little to say…+3
It was a pep talk for low information voters from the no infromation president that leads the disinformation party and nothing else.+6
Oh, what's a few stretched truths between a demagogue and the masses?+5
Precisely why I watched 30 seconds of the speech. Screaming BULLSHIT repeatedly for one hour does not make one a pleasant person to be around.+5
@Dianny – '58 trillion dimes': http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vowHQwFUHAY
@Diann – a single dime? It depends on what the definition of is, is.
When called out on his claim, BO responded: "I said a single dime. Last I counted, 12 trillion is NOT a single."
That my friends, is the truth, as defined by a politician.
Yes, my head exploded.+5
My point, yup. It is way more than a single dime.+1
In recent news, an executive order will eliminate the dime.+4
For all you pathetic peons who call ME a liar … I cannot tell a lie, for I am the ONE, THE CHOSEN ONE … chosen by His Satanic Majesty Soros to expound the narrative … the narrative cannot be a lie … for the narrative is the way I am installing my brand of National Socialism in America.

the christmas post
Christmas this year was...more than sufficient. I don't want to say "amazing" or anything because I've decided that I over-exaggerate way too much. But it was really good, my presents were awesome..I got a digital camera for Europe and I'm very excited about it...a little stressed out...but its still good! Yeah, and dvds, shirts, boots, and other good stuff. Maybe it was because it was raining, or maybe its because I'm just not 5 years old anymore...but it wasnt, exciting. I guess its called growing up...oh well, it was still a great day.The Christmas Eve service was good too even though the second I walked in the door margie goes, "jill, your 15 minutes late, get to ur microphone NOW" and then I had to sing my song standing there with my jacket on w/ out my music or anything. Ugh, that was freakin annoying. Even with her complete lack of confidence in me, I, thanks to God, didn't get nervous even though she tried her best to make me, I sang, it was very good, and from then on the night was peaceful as it should have been. She will make a man out of me yet....for heaven's sake....Mandy Miller's was really fun too! From picking up Molly, to the nice present from Michelle, to Bill and Ted...it was a night to remember. Haha, I personally like it when all of our friends are together, we really are a special group of kids. I really hope we still can do that next year when we're all in college. ugh.Well, since I said the "C" word...I've done a lot of thinking so far, and I might be switching my major. No, it's still music, but I really think I would be a good Minister of music. I have a lot of arrangements that sit on my piano and ones that I've composed for church music that I really dont do anything with, I love to conduct, I love church...it's really the perfect job for me. I dont really even like kids to be honest. So, I still might go for education, just in case, and see where I go from there. I really don't need to know right now...it's just another option. Musical is kind of stressing me out. I really dont know if I'm going to have time for it but I really want to do it. So, I'm going to go for it and see what happens. I'm not wasting my time on anything that's below me though, I'm a senior and I'm just not into that. I saw Pride and Prejudice w/ my mom and sister last night again...it's delicious. The soundtrack is even better. I really like pretty music, big houses, dresses, and England.I was born in the wrong century. goodbye.

Honey Boo Boo, who's real name is Alana Thompson, has been doing the talk-show circut for the last week, acting more and more restless with each interview, reports Internment Weekly.
The 7-year-old reality star groaned, snored, and flailed her arms to no avail yesterday, ultimately yelling "My fans come up to me and I hate it!" in response to Drew's question about whether she likes being on TV.
It was not until her mother, Mama June said, 'Alana, Come on now let's get this done so we can go,' that Dr Drew managed to elicit a reply from the cranky child.
Season 2 of Here Comes Honey Boo Boo will certainly be entertaining.

Guided by Nature, Validated by Science
Dedicated to scientific validation
While we always look to Nature, first, to guide us in the formulation of our products, we rely just as heavily on modern science to validate their effectiveness and to seek out even greater discoveries in natural nourishment and health.
The New Chapter Scientific Team
Our scientific team consists of some of the world's most respected scientific minds, covering multiple disciplines including both traditional and naturopathic medicine, integrative medicine, urology, biology, biochemistry, agriculture and nutrition.
New Chapter Research Partners
Our scientific partners include many of the world's most respected scientists, from research institutions like Columbia University, The Cleveland Clinic, and the M.D. Anderson Cancer Center. We think that says a lot about our commitment to scientific validation and discovery.
A breakthrough philosophy
We selected New Chapter as our company name for one simple reason: We believe every one of our products should deliver a 'new chapter' in nourishment, protection or health. At New Chapter, if a product can't make a genuine contribution or a breakthrough, we won't make it at all.

Dr. Robert Newman, Ph.D.
"I think that it is correct to say that New Chapter and I found each other. I was looking for a way to extract a potential plant based anticancer product and the company was interested in exploring novel ways of treating inflammation. I have always sought new therapeutic solutions to complex research problems that apply to prevention and control of disease; this goal fits well with the mission, vision and philosophy of New Chapter which is a company aimed at bringing novel and exciting healthcare products to the marketplace. Their genuine desire to explore and understand the science behind their products and its importance with respect to optimally developing products of value for mankind is both admirable and highly unusual in the greater nutraceutical world. I am extremely proud of my collaborative association with this fine company."
Dr. Robert A. Newman received his undergraduate training at the University of Rhode Island and graduate training at the University of Connecticut where he obtained MS and Ph.D. degrees in pharmacology and toxicology. Postgraduate work in molecular pharmacology and cell biology was done at the Medical School of Georgia and at the University of Vermont Medical School. After a sabbatical at Stanford University in 1983, Dr. Newman joined the faculty of the University of Texas M. D. Anderson Cancer Center (MDACC). His career at MDACC included development of a state of the art mass spectrometry analytical laboratory, creation of a clinical pharmacology service, a Phase 1 clinical center as well as a Pharmaceutical Development Center which had the capability of bringing drugs from the chemist's bench to the patient's bedside. While at MDACC, Dr. Newman held the position of Professor of Experimental Therapeutics and held the endowed chair D.B. Lane Professorship for Cancer Research. He is the author of over 300 peer-reviewed publications in medical journals and several books. His personal research focus at the University of Texas involved investigation of the role of inflammation as an etiologic factor and driving force behind the development and progression of cancer.
Dr. Newman retired from academia in 2008 and now focuses his time and effort on studies of the efficacy of nutraceuticals for the prevention of disease and promotion of human health. He now serves as the Chief Science Officer for NewChapter, Inc. (Brattleboro, VT) and as a consultant for companies such as Salient Pharmaceuticals (College Station, TX), Coastside Bioscience (Stonington, ME) and Phoenix Biotechnology (San Antonio, TX). He continues to be involved in development of his own drug derived from Nerium oleander for the treatment of solid tumors and certain neurodegenerative diseases. He now resides on the coast of Maine, is involved with local environmental issues and looks for excuses to go sailing.
Dr. Taryn Forrelli
"It is an honor to work for a company that has so much respect for Nature. It is evidenced in everything New Chapter does...from using innovative manufacturing techniques that allow us to deliver vitamins and minerals in their whole food form, the way Mother Nature created them, to creating a refuge on our farm in Costa Rica for some of her most precious healing plants who are so sadly endangered. New Chapter's commitment to researching our products at some of the most respected research institutions in the world is another example. After all, how better to get people to appreciate Nature than to scientifically prove that she, and not a drug company, may hold the key to solving so many of our health crises? The story of New Chapter is a beautiful one filled with inspiring stories of people whose lives have been touched by the wisdom of nature. Witnessing it and sharing it is one of my greatest privileges."
Dr. Taryn Forrelli is a naturopathic physician and the Director of Science & Innovation for New Chapter, Inc (Brattleboro, VT, USA). She has published numerous articles on holistic health and wellness and lectures frequently for both consumers and health care professionals alike. Dr. Forrelli received her doctorate from Southwest College of Naturopathic Medicine (Arizona, USA) and also holds a Biology degree from the University of Massachusetts. She is inspired by New Chapter's mission to validate the clinical application of whole herb and whole food supplements, as it harmonizes with her personal philosophy of health and healing.

Yesterday's presidential debate began with a question from a student who is worried about finding a job after graduation. In this economy he expressed a valid concern.
At Whittier College we are looking to one of our most important strengths – intense faculty and student interaction in small class settings – to address this same concern, and we have an excellent base to build upon. We know that the qualities employers want to see in candidates for jobs map nicely onto what our faculty want to instill in every graduate: writing and oral communication skills, ability to work well in groups to achieve complex tasks, a propensity to think through challenges from multiple points of view, and cultural competence evidenced by understanding and respect for people of all backgrounds.
Whittier has always focused on providing these educational outcomes. However, this summer, the faculty took this focus up a notch by spending time thinking through how the faculty might better integrate career development and tracking into the curriculum and into departmental activities. The faculty even made career preparation the subject of their August retreat, and brainstormed about what skills and experiences students should have by the end of their first year at the College and each successive year. While a group of faculty leaders continues with this "whole campus" discussion, our Dean will work with individual departments to enact changes to particular disciplines to benefit our students.
And with all of this activity as background, I look forward to next week, when over 250 people – most of them former students – will come back over Whittier Weekend to celebrate three professors who for a combined 125 years of teaching have exemplified our faculty's devotion to students' success after college. Professors Fred Bergerson, Mike McBride, and John Neu have provided generations of Whittier students with foundational academic excellence in the classroom, connections to professional networks leading to graduates' first and subsequent jobs, and countless hours of inspirational advice, encouragement, and resumé reading on the side.
I wish all students could experience a Whittier education.

|About UBS
|UBS Vision and Core Purpose
|Give Us Feedback
Purchasing Services Sits on ERAC Panel
Facilities' Pat Chase and Gary Falasca, and University Business Services' Jane Altemose discussed Purchasing, Contracting and Sustainability in ERAC's latest "lunch and learn" on April 18. ERAC stands for Employee Relations Advisory Committee, and Brenda Bachman of UBS is a member of this committee and helped to plan the event.
Falasca covered what the Facilities Department is responsible for, including new initiatives, maintenance, athletics preparation, snow removal, custodians, and waste removal. Lehigh does not put any waste into a landfill – everything goes either to the Rodale compost, a recycling center or an energy plant in Conshohocken.
Chase then discussed how the Facilities Department can act as an in house architect and construction manager, and also handles renovations and space management on campus.
Finally, UBS's Altemose spoke about how she supports the Facilities Department by guiding them to the right vendor pool and selection processes. Altemose also discussed the sustainability focus of our vendor process, and the 32 Master Service Agreements she has implemented on campus that make new projects and negotiations easier to get started.

January 26, 2010 Toxicology Results Showed Impairment
The toxicology reports on the three teenagers that died when the vehicle they where driving in went into a canal showed impairment on the driver according to Broward County Medical Examiner's Office.
On November 15, 2009 at approximately
12:18am a 2007 red Volkswagen driven by Sean Maxey, 16, of Coral Springs was attempting to turn onto University Drive from Broken Woods Drive. As Maxey entered University Drive his vehicle struck a 1998 gold Acura driven by Kiran Parekh, 59, of Miami. After striking the Acura Maxey drove in reverse on Broken Woods Drive striking a street sign and guardrail before going into a canal. Maxey and three other passengers were inside the vehicle when it went into the canal. Evan Sinisgalli, 15, of Coral Springs was able to exit the vehicle and swim to land. Maxey and the other two passengers, Robert Nugent, 16, of Coral Springs and Anthony Almonte, 16, also of Coral Springs had to be extracted by Coral Springs police officers.
All four teenagers were transported to Coral Springs Medical Center where Maxey, Almonte and Nugent were pronounced dead.
Both the Broward County Medical Examiner's Office and NMS Labs in Pennsylvania completed toxicology reports. Senior Toxicologist Michael Wagner of the Broward County Medical Examiner's Office stated "
The amount of 6.4ng/mL of Delta-9-THC in the blood of driver Sean Maxey reveals a recent ingestion of the THC. The individual would be under the influence of the drug and would exhibit CNS (central nervous system) impairment".
Anyone with information is asked to contact Traffic Homicide Investigator Eric Schuster of the Coral Springs Police Department Traffic Unit at 954-346-1247.

It's Friday, You Bastards
For what I believe is the second time ever, I am declaring a New Rule. What I am not doing this time is apologizing to Bill Maher for stealing and ruining his bit because I made him my #1 Favorite Living Comedian, so what more could he want from me? I'm also not going to worry about the news I'm hearing from my inside sources on Capitol Hill because this won't be the first time I've been held in Contempt Of Congress and I'm sure it won't be the last.So now that we've established just how fearless and unwilling I am to be kicked around by anyone, let's get to this New Rule, which goes a little something like this: You can't talk about unemployment as if it could be solved just by all these lazy people just getting up and getting a job until the unemployment rate goes into negative World War II style numbers and if you're Dennis Miller, you should look into the mirror and learn to recognize the Clueless that you keep talking about.By the same token, I could get all over my own case by insisting that no one complain about all the idiots (Who, for some insane reason, are still allowed to vote), AKA Conservatives, who are complaining because they will, eventually, if they live that long, be getting good affordable healthcare and protection from the insurance companies that used to rip them off and kill them just for fun while at the same time obscenely overpaying their CEO's thanks to a law that will also create jobs and lower costs, until they have been undumbed down and can be held accountable for all the stupid things they say, do and believe.But why would I do that? Aren't enough people already out to get me without me joining the parade? I may be self-destructive and suicidal but I'm not crazy, AKA Conservative. Leave the masochism to the masochists is what I always say. Which is why I'm also not going into another fun thing you can expect much more of if Mitt becomes President (http://redtape.msnbc.msn.com/_news/2012/06/29/12465334-your-family-is-probably-losing-155k-from-401k-plan-and-why-new-rules-wont-help?lite).What I am going to do is bend to the will of the people and declare a start to tonight's party right now. Over the objections of those who are saying, "It's not even noon yet and now he's just going to give that same old tired "It's five o'clock somewhere" excuse." Oh, when will children stop trying to predict me? I'm not going to say "It's five o'clock somewhere." It never even crossed my mind.What I am going to do, for the first time ever, is remind you that time, as you perceive it, does not exist. There is no future, there is no past, there is only now. Which means it's always Friday Night and you're usually late! And your drink is getting cold! Which in this case, is this little concoction that Fifi, my Sommelier, whipped up for tonight:-------------------------------------------------Healthcare Hole-In-OneIngredients: 1 3/4 oz Scotch 3/4 oz Vermouth 1/4 tsp Lemon juice 1 dash Orange bitters Mixing instructions:Shake all ingredients with ice, strain into a cocktail glass, and serve.-------------------------------------------------There, now everyone is happy. Except for maybe our female guests who didn't get a chance to get as dressed as they wanted to but the people looking at them are more than happy enough to make up for the deficit. And never let it be said that I'm discourteous to Republicans because exposed vaginas are far easier to probe than ones that are all covered up.

Course Overview
Scientific evidence has shown that food choices and certain supplements can improve health and symptoms of disease. As a result, many Americans are self-prescribing and spending in excess of $30 billion annually on herbal and dietary supplements to address their health concerns. It is important for health care providers to receive timely, evidence-based information in order to address the risks and benefits of supplements with their patients. In this dynamic partnership with patients, providers also need information about regulatory issues, dosing and product potency. To address these needs, world-renowned faculty will present a concise, clinically relevant overview of natural supplements in evidence-based practice, with an emphasis on disease states. As part of this informative and comprehensive CME conference, attendees will have the opportunity to participate in a full day of highly interactive workshops in order to fine tune clinical applications. This medical education event is a must-attend for anyone wanting to acquire a wide-range of knowledge and expertise for addressing and managing dietary supplement use.
Target Audience
This course is intended for physicians, naturopathic doctors, nurse practitioners, nurses, nurse midwives, acupuncturists, chiropractors, dietitians, pharmacists, physician assistants, psychologists and any other health care professional who makes nutritional recommendations or manages dietary supplement use.

Don't cut the grass this weekend
WTOP Garden Editor Mike McGrath
WASHINGTON - The big holiday weekend is getting off to a somewhat soggy start, and that calls for a special lawn care warning alert: Do not cut your lawn while the grass is still wet.
Cutting a wet lawn tears the grass blades apart, instead of cutting them cleanly, and that makes the grass much more vulnerable to injury when summer heat arrives. So let the lawn dry out for at least a day before you mow. And don't mow first thing in the morning when the grass is wet with dew. If cut grass is sticking to your shoes, the lawn is too wet to mow.
Equally important is to cut with a super, sharp blade. A dull mower blade tears the grass up just as badly as cutting when wet. So if you haven't sharpened or replaced your blade this season, do so before the next cut.
Cut sharp and cut dry in the spring, and your lawn will stay green and bright when summer heat settles in.
Milky spore vs. lawn grubs
Matt in Laurel has a lot of questions about lawn grubs. He writes: "Late last summer I discovered a bad grub infestation in my lawn and treated it with a combination of milky spore powder and Dylox (Bayer's 24-hour grub killer). Now, I would like to try and prevent "
Whoa! Let's stop right there, Matt.
Milky spore is a naturally occurring soil organism that's deadly to lawn grubs if they ingest it while feeding on the roots of your grass. So you did apply it at the right time of year, as grubs only feed in the summer. (Although stores sell milky spore powder in the spring, it doesn't work in the spring.)
But to achieve its legendary decades of future protection against grubs, milky spore must have lots of live grubs to infect. But you killed those grubs with that toxic chemical grub killer, negating any positive effect from the milky spore.
Springtime grub control is cultural, not chemical
OK. We'll let Matt in Laurel continue his grubby tale. He writes: "Last summer I discovered a grub infestation (after much of my grass had died), and dealt with it with a combination of milky spore and Dylox (Bayer's 24-hour grub killer). I would like to try to prevent an infestation this year and have heard that Scott's GrubEx (chlorantraniliprole) is helpful? I was wondering if you have any suggestions for the timing of application."
Yes, Matt. How about never? Toxic, chemical grub killers are incredibly dangerous and totally unnecessary. The best way to prevent female Japanese beetles from infesting your turf with their grubby little babies is to make your lawn unattractive as a nursery. That means cutting your grass at the correct height, never lower than 3 inches, and watering deeply but infrequently during weeks when we don't get an inch of rain.
Female beetles look for scalped, wet lawns in which to lay their eggs. They want to be able to reach the soil easily, and they must have nice moist earth in which to lay those eggs, which are prone to dehydration. Short cuts and frequent watering virtually guarantee that your turf will play host to lots of bouncing baby beetles.
But a turf that's correctly cared for won't appeal to a female beetle's motherly instincts. And that lawn will look better, and stay greener this summer to boot.
Make your lawn grub-proof this season
Matt in Laurel continues: "I would like to apply milky spore powder again this season, as I've heard it takes several years of consistent applications to build up a population in the soil. When is the best time to apply it?"
Milky spore powder, a concentrated natural soil organism that kills grubs while they are actively feeding on lawn roots, should be applied about a month to six weeks after you notice the adult beetles feeding on nearby plants. That's when any eggs the female beetles have deposited in your lawn will have hatched, and the grubs will actively feed on the roots of your turf.
Apply the powder as directed on the packaging and don't use any other insecticides on your lawn. Milky spore needs to be ingested by live grubs to be able to spread throughout your lawn and build up the "population" to which you refer. Every live grub that ingests a single spore of this disease (a disease that only affects the larval stage of beetles) becomes a kind of milky spore factory, spreading this amazing natural substance throughout your turf, and maintaining a healthy population of the beneficial organism for years to come.
Apply the powder in mid to late summer to an otherwise insecticide-free lawn and your turf might become grub-proof for decades to come. That's right, decades. Some lawns that were treated back in the 1950s still test positive for milky spore and negative for grubs.
Bt is the answer to caterpillar problems
Susan in Greenbelt writes: "I need something to treat pests that are attacking a young river birch, something that won't hurt my dogs. The pests might be stink bug larvae, as they look like very small caterpillars. They line up around the edge of a leaf and eat their way in until the leaf is gone."
Then they are small caterpillars, Sue. Baby stink bugs look like, well, baby stink bugs.
And no matter what kind of caterpillar is doing the munching, the answer is easy: Bt. One of the oldest and safest organic pest controls, it is also known as BTK, and sold under brand names that include Dipel, Thuracide, and Green Step. Bt quickly kills any caterpillars that eat the sprayed leaves, but harms nothing else — not you, your dogs or wildlife. It doesn't even harm adult butterflies. Bt only affects caterpillars, and it only affects caterpillars that chew on the sprayed leaves. It may well be the safest and most targeted insecticide ever discovered.
Note: BTI, the organic control that prevents mosquito breeding, is a different product. BTI will not stop caterpillar infestations. And Bt won't stop mosquito breeding.

Council makes decision to vote in favor of Lewis & Clark capital callAt the City Council meeting on Tuesday, Oct. 15 the councilmen heard from Lennox resident Laura Thiesse about raising chickens within the City limits.
She proposed that the City adopt the same ordinance as Sioux Falls to allow chickens in the city. Currently the Lennox ordinance allows livestock such as cattle, sheep or fowl only with the permission of the City Council. Thiesse presented the council with a short version of the ordinance passed by Sioux Falls.
Thiesse asked for permission to raise a maximum of six chickens.
