Mineral Licks for Deer
Mineral Licks for Whitetail Deer
As a whitetail deer outfitter for the past 13 years in the Midwestern United States, my primary goal is making sure whitetail deer hunters are placed within weapon range of trophy bucks. However to do so is my job to make sure our land tracts and outfitting service is providing that correct habitat, food sources, water supplies, and mineral licks for deer in order for them to reach their full potential. I hear a lot a big talk about food plots, and here at IMB outfitters we do put out food plots. However food plots are often over rated. You must remember in the states that are in the Midwest around 40% of all land holds agricultural crops that provide a steady diet of food for the whitetail deer herd. Thus when one puts in a food plot for whitetail deer its almost like putting a gumball machine in a candy store. With so many different agricultural fields for the deer to feed from often times food plots are over rated. In fact during 2009 our business spent well over $20,000 on food plots, however these same food plots produced only three trophy buck harvests. Hard to believe but true.
I have found over the many years I have outfitted for whitetail deer that trophy bucks are more in need of the minerals which come from salt and vitamin based products which we used to form mineral licks for deer. Within the world of economics there is a term often referred to as supply and demand. As Im sure you know in a nutshell this mans something that has a high demand but a low supply cost more money. Thus it is in the whitetail world. While there are many different kinds of food sources that whitetail deer can choose from, a mineral lick for whitetail deer is in low supply because it is under estimated as a need for the whitetail deer by hunters across the United States. Within the state of Missouri alone our business has over 100 mineral licks sites. These mineral licks for deer serve a variety of needs. Natural mineral licks for whitetail deer are uncommon thus successful quality deer management programs should have strong emphasis on mineral licks.
After a thorough study of our records we have discovered 49% of the bucks our hunters harvest score over 150 inches. In fact stats break down as follows on bucks harvested with IMB Outfitters
160 inches to 200 inches 19%
150 inches to 160 inches 30%
140 inches to 150 inches 29%
130 inches to 140 inches 20%
125 inches to 130 inches 2%
Prior to going into information surrounding mineral licks for deer let us look at the state laws that govern the usage of them within the Midwestern United States.
Missouri Deer Hunting
Scents and minerals, including salt, are not considered bait, however, mineral blocks with food additives are prohibited. An area is considered baited for 10 days even after complete removal of the bait. It is illegal to place bait in a way that causes others to be in violation of the baiting rule. Thus as you can see in the State of Missouri mineral licks are legal with some limitations.
Illinois Deer Hunting
No mineral or salt licks are legal in Illinois even if you are not hunting over them. They are prohibited and against the law.
Iowa Deer Hunting
Bait means grain, fruit, vegetables, nuts, hay, salt, mineral blocks, or any other natural food materials, commercial products containing natural food materials, or by-products of such materials transported to or placed in an area for the purpose of
attracting wildlife. Bait does not include food placed during normal agricultural activities. In a nutshell if the state of Iowa allows mineral licks to be placed on farms however no hunting can be done around the mineral licks at all. Inside sources at the Iowa Dept of natural resources indicate a law will soon be passed making mineral licks illegal within the state of Iowa.
Kansas Deer Hunting
Baiting as well as mineral licks for deer are legal in Kansas.
Wisconsin Deer Hunting
Wisconsin just flat out has some crazy laws. For example, did you know its illegal for any non resident to have an outfitting service there? Sounds like a violation of ones constitutional rights. The mineral licks for deer and baiting law are equally complex. It seems one half of the State of Wisconsin allows mineral licks and baiting while the other half of the State does not. Here is the information regarding mineral licks for deer and baiting in Wisconsin. Counties where baiting is NOT allowed Placing bait for hunting purposes is prohibited in the following counties:
Adams, Calumet, Columbia, Crawford, Dane, Dodge, Grant, Green, Iowa, Jefferson, Juneau, Kenosha, Lafayette, Manitowoc, Marathon, Marquette, Milwaukee, Portage, Racine, Richland, Rock, Sauk, Sheboygan, Vernon, Walworth, Waukesha, Waushara and Wood Counties. In these counties, no person may place, use or hunt over bait or feed material for the purpose of hunting deer. Note: It is not legal to feed deer, even for recreational viewing
purposes, in counties where baiting deer is prohibited.
Scents: Scent may be used for hunting deer statewide, but the scent may not be placed or deposited in a manner that it is accessible for consumption by deer, and scents shall be removed daily at the end of hunting hours. However, two ounces or less of scent may be placed, used or deposited in any manner for hunting deer and does not need to be removed daily at the end of hunting hours. Natural Vegetation and Plantings: You may hunt with the aid of material deposited by natural vegetation or material found solely as a result of normal agricultural or gardening practices, or with the aid of crops planted and left standing as wildlife food plots.
Counties where baiting deer is allowed In the remainder of the state (except for U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service lands), baiting for deer hunting purposes is allowed only under the following conditions: Amount: Each hunter may place up to 2 gallons of bait for each property under the same ownership regardless of the size of the property. If the property is larger than 40 acres, then each hunter may place an additional 2 gallons of bait for each additional full 40 acres of contiguous land under the same ownership if the bait sites are at least 100 yards away from any other bait site (parcels of land that do not touch but are separated only by a town, county or state highway are considered contiguous). Note: Bait may be spread out or divided into more than one pile as long as the total amount of bait or feed material is not more than 2 gallons per 40 acres or less. Placement: No person may: Place a baiting site closer than 100 yards of another baiting site. Hunt within 100 yards of more than 2 gallons of bait on the same parcel of land.
Place a baiting site within 50 yards of any trail, road, or campsite used by the public, or within 100 yards from a roadway having a posted speed limit of 45 mph or more.
Note: Removal of unlawfully placed bait or feed material does not preclude the issuance of a citation for the original placement of the unlawful baiting or feeding material.
Timing: No person may: Place, use or hunt over bait or feed for hunting purposes during the closed season for hunting deer, but may start to place bait for deer hunting the day before the opening day of the first deer hunting season, which is the archery season. This means the 24-hour period from 12:00 am to 11:59 pm on the day immediately
before the season.
Hunt over bait or a feeding site that is in violation of these regulations, unless the area is completely free of bait or feed material for at least 10 consecutive days prior to hunting, pursuing animals or dog training. Content: No person may place, use or hunt over any bait or feed material that: Contains any animal part or animal by-product. Note: Animal parts and by-products include honey, bones, fish, meat, solid animal fat, animal carcasses, or parts of animal carcasses but does not include liquid scents.
Is contained in or deposited by a feeder that is designed to deposit or replenish feed automatically, mechanically, or by gravity. Contains or is contained within, metal, paper, plastic, glass, wood or other similar processed materials. This does not apply to scent materials. License: No person may use or hunt over bait or feed material placed for deer.
Ohio Deer Hunting Mineral Licks are Legal
Two differing opinions are present surrounding the placement of mineral licks for deer hunting. One opinion is that whitetail deer produce bigger antlers quicker and that the whitetail deer herd remains healthier when minerals are provided to them. The opposing opinion surrounding mineral licks for deer hunting is that in a state which have chronics wastings disease any mineral lick can be the very place where the disease is spread from animal to the animal.
My belief is that chronics wastings disease among whitetail deer happens on rare occasion and because of a major outbreak in Wisconsin hunters across the nation panicked wondering if whitetail deer would vanish at the hands of CWD. I find this belief to be a bit over reactive. The truth his mother nature simply has ways of taking care of overpopulation of any animal.
I am of the belief that mineral licks for deer not only make the herd healthier, but vastly enhance the speed of which a whitetail buck rack grows, and provides a healthier deer whether it be a buck or doe. Just like human beings taking vitamin supplements it would only make sense that when whitetail enthusiast place additional minerals unto the availability of the whitetail deer the result would be improved health, fawn enhancement production, larger racks growing at a faster speed, and an overall whitetail deer herd that is more equipped to withstand harsh environmental conditions. In states where it is legal to implement mineral licks for whitetail deer we have seen mineral sites that literally were so large because of deer usage that it appeared as if to a hand grenade had been thrown. It is that these mineral licks our hunters had been able to take far more trophy whitetail deer than over expensive food plots. For those that dont believe mineral licks are more effective than food plots simply travel to our trail cam pics page at www.imbmonsterbucks.com and you will see hundreds of photos of huge bucks caught on camera partaking from a mineral lick.
The calling card in most deer minerals is sodium, but most companies put other minerals in their products that can help a bucks' rack grow. In most areas, whitetail deer can obtain most of their dietary requirements with the exception of sodium (Na) in most habitats. Whitetail deer and other herbivores require sodium for regulation of fluid volume and blood pressure; maintenance of osmotic balances and buffer systems and conduction of nerve impulses. Sodium is not readily available in the plant materials they consume since most plants don't require sodium. Therefore, deer actively seek sources of sodium. This salt drive is highest in deer during the spring and summer. The amount of water and potassium in the diet impacts the ability of the deer to retain sufficient sodium for metabolic needs.
During the spring, deer consume many plants that contain exceptionally high levels of water and potassium, causing a temporary sodium imbalance, resulting in development of the salt drive and the amazing results and activity we see at our deer mineral stations throughout our food plots. Research has shown that antler mineralization in whitetail deer reaches its peak during the late summer when sodium drive in bucks is strong. Therefore, it is reasonable to assume that providing supplemental sodium and deer minerals during this time can be beneficial to deer.
In most areas, deer seldom move more than one mile for salt minerals. Providing a supplemental source of sodium mineral stations like salt blocks won't likely alter deer distribution to a great extent. However, it may attract deer from the local area (about 2 to 3 miles) to a specific site. However a group of mineral licks for deer in a given area will keep them in that area and keep them healthy.
Much of Illinois, Kansas, and Iowa have soil that is rich in minerals which is part of the reason bucks that live in these states often grow large racks. In areas of the country that don't have great soil and high mineral content, bucks often have smaller racks. Dr. David Samuel, a noted deer biologist, says feeding deer minerals makes sense. "Feeding deer minerals that they lack in their natural diet can only help them," Samuel said.
Opinions vary across the whitetail deer industry in regard to whether mineral licks for deer enhance the antler growth. I can absolutely tell you without a doubt that after 13 years of outfitting in five states that I have literally watched quality deer management programs inclusive of mineral licks for deer turn an average land tract into a great land tract within 2 to 3 years. Theres also no doubt mineral licks for deer are great attractant. As aforementioned we have a mineral licks in the state of Missouri and Kansas that are literally as large as the bed of a pickup truck and 3 feet deep into the ground because of whitetail deer pawing at the minerals and consuming them for their nutritional needs.
Mineral licks for whitetail deer hunting serve as one of the greatest attractants I have ever seen. Mineral licks need to be placed about a property with my suggestion of one mineral lick for every 30 acres of ground if you wanna drag the neighbors whitetail herd over onto your place. Oh yeah. Believe me, I have literally lured the entire herd to inhabit our side of an entire river bottom because the whitetail herd flat out knew that on our side they could find the same food, the same water, but held all the mineral licks for deer they wanted. Think about it. It only makes sense. Im literally offering an abundance of a need the areas whitetail herd doesnt have an abundance of because the modern day whitetail enthusiastic is still wondering if mineral licks actually work. While they are wondering we will continue to kill monster deer and raise them faster.
If you want some flat out slang, We feed our boys (bucks) what they need to grow big horns. Each year we freshen the mineral licks religiously no matter the cost. The mineral licks are so very vital to antler nutrition, and good health. Believe me it is true. In fact out the 10 biggest deer we have ever killed in the history of our outfitting business, 7 of them were harvested within 75 yards of a mineral lick for deer. Like the Old Kevin Costner Movie, Field of Dreams, says, If you build them, they will come.
The whitetails desire to use the mineral licks does show us that there is some need. Unlike humans who would like to live on junk food, animals usually are attracted to what is most nutritious for them. Mineral supplements can be considered a vital part of your deer management plan.Over the years we have tried a few different products including white salt blocks, trace mineral salt blocks, bags of minerals from Tractor Supply, Whitetail Institute 30-06 (the same people that make Imperial Whitetail Clover), Deer Cane, Mossy Oak Biologic Full Potential, Antler King and Hunters Specialties Vita Rack minerals. Which one of these performed the best I do not know but the holes keep getting deeper no matter what I put out. Remember deer will dig a hole if only salt is put out.
It is my opinion that I will stick with mineral supplements made specifically for whitetail deer. The salt blocks made for livestock do not have the quantities of minerals needed by deer. Nutritional specialists have found that calcium and phosphorus account for 33 percent of hardened antler and that antlers are about 55 percent mineral. Does also require higher amounts of minerals for milk production and several other minerals are needed in a deers diet as well.
Sorry but I tell the truth and my experience with mineral licks for deer that are effective are the mineral supplements that mineral based with a salt attractant. Im truly not into these carmel dick suckers, or molasses stump liquids, the mashed sugar beet dust, but rather the basic and old school salt based mineral licks for deer that I see time and time again dug down into the ground many feet and relentlessly hit over and over by the whitetail herd. In fact if your financially challenged there are a few recipes for mineral licks for whitetail deer that are cheaper than commercial products.
Of course Im sure you think this article is a precursor to me promoting some major mineral lick company, however it is not. In fact prior to introducing you to different products I will provide you with a home recipe for mineral licks so you can save some money if you would like.
To begin, you will need to go to your local feed store and purchase three bags of ingredients Stock Salt, Trace Mineral, and Di-Calcium Phosphate. All can be purchased in "loose" or granulated forms in 50-pound bags. You will need two bags of trace mineral and one bag each of Di-Calcium Phosphate and Stock Salt. Make certain you keep all three ingredients separate until ready to use.
Once you've decided on a location to start your mineral lick, preferably a site where deer frequent already, you can begin to mix your ingredients in a large bucket, wheel barrow or trash can. Use a 3-pound coffee can to measure each of the ingredients.
However, there have been times when I've had to pinch pennies and making my own basic mineral supplement was all that I could do to help the deer where I hunted. Basic is the key to this mineral supplement recipe but it does include some key ingredients that not only will help the health of the deer population in your area, it will attract them too.
To begin, you will need to go to your local feed store and purchase three bags of ingredients Stock Salt, Trace Mineral, and Di-Calcium Phosphate. All can be purchased in "loose" or granulated forms in 50-pound bags. You will need two bags of trace mineral and one bag each of Di-Calcium Phosphate and Stock Salt. Make certain you keep all three ingredients separate until ready to use.
Once you've decided on a location to start your mineral lick, preferably a site where deer frequent already, you can begin to mix your ingredients in a large bucket, wheel barrow or trash can. Use a 3-pound coffee can to measure each of the ingredients.
Take two, 3-pound cans of Di-Calcium Phosphate, two 3-pound cans of stock salt, and four 3-pound cans of trace mineral and mix the ingredients together with a shovel or other garden tool. Make certain the ingredients are mixed well. This formula will give you 24-pounds of mineral to put into the ground the first time you make your lick. You can cut this recipe in half to freshen your mineral lick every three to six months.
At your predetermined site, dig a whole large enough to accommodate the 24-pounds of mineral mix you prepared plus the dirt you removed from the hole. Mix the mineral mix and the dirt together and fill the hole. This will take a little effort but will make your mineral lick much more effective than if you just dumped it into the hole and left the dirt out. Wait for a couple of good rains before you go back to check your new mineral lick.
It shouldn't take long before the deer begin utilizing your efforts. Before you know it they will be digging out the hole you made. Over time, I've had mineral licks large enough to drive and park an ATV in. Your four bags of ingredients will make 200-pounds of basic mineral supplement and the total cost of all three ingredients should be under $25 in most parts of Missouri.
Deer Cane
My favorite product and normally the only one we use because we have such great results with it is Deer Cane from Evolved Habitats. Next year I plan on experimenting with some other products such as this one but for now if I had to name the greatest mineral lick product for deer it would be Deer Cane. Despite the instructions of the product I always buy the concentrate powder form and clear a 4 foot by 4 foot area down to the dirt and simply pour out the granulated Deer Cane into the hole, and let the next rain take it down into the earth. For this is the highest concentrated form and will be the longest lasting and most potent. The product is described as follows. Deer Cane is a beneficial mineral supplement that attracts deer by releasing a mineral vapor trail. After initial application, moisture will cause these minerals to keep reacting and attracting deer. Bucks seeking minerals for overall health and rack development will be drawn to the site to lick, paw, mark and consume the minerals. Bucks will want to protect the Deer Cane site by rubbing, scraping and rolling in the mineral site to mark it as their own. The bucks action will naturally lead to the attraction of more deer. Over time, a large deer wallow will be created as many deer develop the habit of frequenting the site to consume the beneficial minerals.
Antler King Mineral
TROPHY DEER MINERAL contains 27 different antler building minerals, vitamins and additives. TROPHY DEER MINERAL also contains a special yeast culture which allows the deer to better utilize and easily absorb the minerals and vitamins. The result is more minerals into antler and body development. TROPHY DEER MINERAL is best used when poured on the ground near a deer trail. Greatest consumption is from February to September. TROPHY DEER MINERAL is available in 20lb. bags.
Whitetail Institute 30-06
Like humans, a deer's available diet seldom supplies all the minerals, vitamins, and protein necessary for maximum good health and growth. While Imperial Clover, ALFA-RACK and NO-PLOW Wildlife Seed Blend provide a tremendous amount of antler-growing protein on a year-round basis, other minerals and vitamins may be unavailable. That is why, again like humans, it is beneficial for deer to have available a mineral and vitamin supplement on a daily basis. And that is what Imperial Whitetail 30-06 supplements provide.
They have been scientifically developed after years of observation by wildlife biologist, veterinarians and field testers for the Whitetail Institute of North America. Regardless of any mineral or vitamin deficiency in your particular habitat, Imperial 30-06 formulas provide all the principal elements your wild herd could possibly need. The PLUS PROTEIN formula provides a 10% protein boost as well.
Mossy Oak Biologic Full Potential
BioLogics Full Potential is a scientifically formulated blend of minerals and vitamins that are critical to massive antler development and herd health ingredients that are deficient or missing entirely in most habitats. Full Potential is used in three easy steps and delivers vital nutrients during early spring and summer when your herd needs it the most. Available in an easy to use 16 lb. size.
For best results, place one Full Potential mineral supplement close to every food plot, or at least one per every 80 acres of habitat.
Hunter Specialties Vita Rack
I love Hunter Specialty Products but I didnt really have much luck with Vita Rack. While it has possibly more minerals and vitamins than any other mineral lick for deer on the market, the product hasnt attracted as well for us. However this perhaps has been upgraded since we last used it. The Vita-Rack® 26 Lick Site contains 26 high quality vitamins and minerals essential to helping whitetails reach their full potential. This patented nutritional system provides year-round nutrition and creates bigger, healthier deer. It helps control ticks, which assists deer in maintaining a healthier immune system. The calcium and phosphorus in Vita-Rack 26 support bone and antler development. The granular mixture digests quickly and will bring deer back again and again.
I like to find a location near a good deer travel route that is somewhat secluded so whitetails can work the mineral lick for deer and feel safe feeding from the site. I always place the mineral licks for whitetail deer inside the timber. I will work up the soil, in a circle that is about 4 feet by 4 feet, and always use straight granulated powder. I never mix with water and dilute the mineral. I know the rain will take care of this aspect of it. You will find that the mineral licks for deer when made in this manner will be much more potent. Afterall when you buy minerals in liquid form your buying water instead of mineral. Trust me and use this method. It will save you money and be more effective. Then mix the supplement with the soil. The deer will eat both the mix and the soil, after a few weeks the deer will have a hole dug trying to get every bit.
When refreshing a mineral lick it should be done every year. You should refresh it in May in the Midwest United States and if you desire and can afford it, redo it in July. If you want bigger, healthier deer make a Mineral Lick that is effective. Trust me and believe you dont need to be refreshing these sites 3 to 5 times a year. That statement is a marketing ploy from mineral companies to get you to buy more and more mineral supplement that you really dont need. (Know that ought to make somebody mad out there, but its the truth.) We have done study after study on these products for 13 years.
In regard to hunting mineral licks for deer I can tell you that you dont want to hover over them, or hunt too close to them. Deer come in to feed on mineral licks and are very aware of their surrounding when doing so. Stay off the lick at least 30 yards for archery hunting and be well hidden. While firearms hunting stay even further away. Remember does will use the mineral licks as much as the bucks will. During the rut a mineral lick can bring in the very doe that has the Boone and Crockett buck following her. Mineral licks when implemented correctly can produce big results.

Handel beat out more than 5,200 entrants who competed to design the 8-acre plaza in Lower Manhattan, where the World Trade Center towers once stood. Today, a permeable canopy of nearly 400 swamp white oak trees defines the memorial space. Two reflecting pools recessed 30 feet into the ground and lined by waterfalls mark the acre-sized voids left by the towers. The memorial offers a place of quiet contemplation while celebrating the power of public space.
Jury: "It lives up to its role as a significant and appropriate memorial, but also acts as a functioning part of a more livable and beautiful city by providing remarkable views from above, casual seating for daily use, as well as the emotional experience of the memorial."
Client: "Since we opened in 2011, there have been more than 7 million people who have visited this site. It has not only given people the opportunity to pay their respects, but it has also turned a place that was destitute after the attacks into a beautiful place that shows our rebirth and our resiliency." —Michael Frazier, vice president of communications, National September 11 Memorial

Breaking News
Anthony Rizzo will be heading to the Cubs in a trade. Rizzo, you'll remember, was a centerpiece in the trade that sent Adrian Gonzalez to the Red Sox last winter.
Details to follow.
WEEI's Rob Bradford posted on the radio station's website that the Padres sent former Red Sox standout prospect, Anthony Rizzo, to the Chicago Cubs, along with pitcher Zach Cates. In return, the Padres netted pitcher Andrew Cashner and outfielder Kyung-Min Na. Rizzo and Cashner are the high-value players in this deal. According to a tweet from USA Today's Bob Nightengale, the Padres plan to use Cashner, a former first round draft pick in 2008, out of the bullpen.
Rizzo absolutely raked in Triple- A for the Padres last season, posting a 1.056 OPS in 93 games. He played in 49 games for the big club in 2011. He was not ready, and it showed. Rizzo had an OPS of .526. The Padres recently shipped young righty Mat Latos to the Reds for Edinson Volquez and a couple of highly regarded prospects. Yonder Alonso was one of them. It was the acquisition of Alonso that placed Rizzo on the trading block. It seems that the ever-active Cubs have secured their first baseman of the future. But let's deal with the here and now.
Personally, I don't really care about this deal. I decided to write about it because it affects a local kid. Bryan LaHair is a 29 year old first baseman who has played the last two seasons in Triple-A Iowa for the Cubs. He played his high school ball at Holy Name in Worcester,MA. He has hit a combined 68 homeruns in two years since signing as a free agent with the Cubs organization. Before 2010, LaHair's entire career was spent in the Mariners system where he consistently rose through the ranks. After reaching Triple-A ball in 2006, LaHair was stonewalled year after year from the big club by guys like Richie Sexson and Russell Branyan who possessed mammoth contracts. In 2008, LaHair had a cup of coffee with the Seattle Mariners (45 games). He signed on with the Cubs in 2010, and LaHair once again began doing what he is best at—mashing. That year, LaHair posted a smooth .308/.385/.557 line. Last season, LaHair flexed his muscle. A .331/.405/.664 line helped punch his ticket to the Show. LaHair showed versatility by splitting time at first base, right field, and left field. In only 59 at bats, LaHair got on-base at an impressive .377 clip. He caught the eye of former manager Mike Quade: "He has looked fine in the outfield. And that's a good thing. I watch him work, and again, he's not going to light you up with his speed, but he's going to do the right thing." Consistently doing the right thing seems like it is going to finally payoff for the New England native.
According to GM Jed Hoyer, LaHair will open the 2012 season at first base for the Cubs. Rizzo will begin in the year at Triple-A.
It is easy to root for a local kid. It's easy to cheer on someone who played on the same Little League fields in Thompson,CT., that you did. But the easiest part of the whole thing is when the kid is flat out good.

Oceana was joined by longtime supporters Kate Walsh ("Private Practice" and "Grey's Anatomy") and Aaron Peirsol (gold medal-winning swimmer) in Washington, D.C. today to remember the one-year anniversary of the Gulf of Mexico oil spill. We were also joined by Patty Whitney, a Louisiana resident-turned-activist whose home was affected by last year's disaster.
Along with campaign director Jackie Savitz, and a slew of energetic volunteers, the group served to remind us that offshore drilling is never safe - and that an oil spill could happen anywhere. Check out this slideshow of images from today's event.
On the anniversary of the oil spill, New York Times columnist and author Mark Bittman sat down with Ted Danson to talk about Ted's book, "Oceana: Our Endangered Oceans and What We Can Do to Save Them." I can't embed the video here, but be sure to hop over to the Times' site to watch the clip! Enjoy.
Tuesday was a busy day on the Latitude, as the crew docked in Mississippi to share preliminary findings of the first weeks on the water. Here's Dustin's update:
The Oceana Latitude arrived in Gulfport, Miss., late Monday. Over the next few days, equipment for Oceana's upcoming deepwater oil exploration efforts will be loaded onto the vessel.
On Tuesday, Oceana was joined for a press conference by corporate partner Nautica and celebrity activists, including award-winning actors Ted Danson and Morgan Freeman as well as New York-based Spanish model Almudena Fernandez and San Pedro (Belize) mayor Elsa Paz.
At the press conference, experts provided an update on the first legs of the two-month research expedition and discussed the approaching efforts to map the subsurface oil plume with cutting-edge science and document seafloor habitat areas that may have been harmed by underwater oil with a remotely operated vehicle (ROV) capable of reaching depths of more than 3,200 feet and filming in high-definition.
The press conference was covered by several media outlets, including Associated Press, Thomson Reuters, EFE, CBC Radio, Biloxi Sun Herald, Mississippi Press and local ABC affiliate WLOX.
Scientist-in-charge of the expedition Dr. Michael Hirshfield also led two tours to Ship Island on Tuesday. Ship Island, which survived Hurricane's Camille and Katrina, was devastated by the Deepwater Horizon oil spill. Although this island's fort was once capable of protecting the local coasts, it was no defense against oil. According to BP contractors, 1,200 pounds of sandy tar balls were removed from the island Tuesday, 1,400 pounds Monday and 1,600 pounds Sunday.
Emily went up in a spotter plane last weekend to look for whale sharks, while senior campaign communications manager Dustin Cranor was on the Latitude waiting for word of the sharks' location so the scientists on board could follow them in order to tag the animals. Unfortunately, the sharks proved elusive. Here's Dustin's report:
The whale sharks in the Gulf of Mexico spent the weekend hiding from the Oceana Latitude.
The crew spent two days searching for these sharks off the coast of southeastern Louisiana. Our hope was to tag some of them so that we could monitor their movements and contribute to scientists' understanding of the effects of the Deepwater Horizon disaster on their survival. Whale sharks were observed swimming in surface oil near the gushing wellhead earlier this year.
The two spotter planes did have one sighting, but the four whale sharks dove too quickly for us to track them.
Oceana and the University of Southern Mississippi have not given up and will continue the search Tuesday.
Here's Oceana marine scientist Elizabeth Wilson:
It wasn't until we reached Grand Isle to drop off the shark experts that we saw a school of what appeared to be silky sharks.
During transit, the experts spent time talking with Associated Press reporter Rich Matthews. One thing is clear, no matter what direction you look in the Gulf of Mexico, there are always oil rigs in the landscape.
Yesterday, our scientist Matthias Gorny was unsure if he could identify indications of abandoned oil wells on the Gulf floor using the ROV from the Oceana Latitude. But in our dispatch from today, Dustin Cranor has let us know that Matthias has evaluated the ROV footage further - and this time come up with signs of an abandoned well 90 feet underwater. Along an otherwise flat seafloor, Gorny discovered a raised surface approximately three feet high with black sediment excavated by worms, which indicates a presence of hydrocarbons.
Check out this slideshow of images captured by the ROV.
The Gulf of Mexico is threatened by more than just offshore drilling. Industrial fishing has destroyed many habitats already, as our team saw yesterday. Here's Dustin's update from the Latitude:
A recent story by the Associated Press revealed that there are more than 27,000 abandoned oil and gas wells in the Gulf of Mexico. Some of these wells are believed to still be leaking oil into the Gulf.
Oceana sent its ROV from Chile down (approximately 90 feet to the seafloor) today off the coast of Alabama to investigate an abandoned oil well that began drilling in 1981.
Oceana was unable to find any infrastructure from the abandoned well. However, the ROV did allow us to see the result of using destructive fishing gear in the area. The sea floor at this location was leveled. Trawls appeared to have bulldozed everything in their path, leaving only broken shells and a few remaining fish and sea stars.
Here's Oceana's ROV operator and science director for Chile Matthias Gorny:
The Oceana Latitude is making its final preparations for eight weeks on the water. We got this dispatch from our trusty senior campaigns communications manager, Dustin Cranor:
Good news. The satellite internet and phone system is back up and running.
The crew took advantage of the day by spending time testing a majority of the equipment onboard the Oceana Latitude.
Matthias Gorny, from Oceana's Chilean office, launched the ROV from the vessel to assess its standard operating procedures, including ensuring that its seals were working properly. The Longitude, a 42 foot boat adapted for Oceana's research needs, was also deployed for at sea testing.
I'm happy to report that everything worked as planned.

Yesterday, I wrote about tagging along with a NOAA crew as they searched for subsurface oil. The next day, I joined the Fish and Wildlife Service on an expedition with a much more easily visible goal: Checking out the breeding colonies of seabirds that have laid their nests near waters affected by the oil spill.
Nearly 1800 oiled birds have been recovered by rescue teams, and more than a thousand of those were already dead. The majority of the live birds go to Jay Holcomb's bird rescue center. Of course, the Gulf of Mexico is an enormous area, and it's only in recent weeks that a significant number of oiled birds have even been seen – meaning that in the two months since the Deepwater Horizon started gushing oil, there have probably been many more birds affected that we'll never know about.
"This is the tip of the iceberg, what we're bringing in," said Steve Martarano, a public affairs officer with FWS who organized the boat trip to visit the nesting birds. "But we're saving a lot of birds."
NOAA restoration officer Sean Meehan deploys pompoms attached to a chain in Barataria Bay last week. He'll return in 24 hours to see if the pompoms have picked up any oil. I took this video while taking photographs at the same time, so be glad I have it pointed in mostly the right direction.
The Gulf oil disaster reminds me of that old Donald Rumsfeld chestnut, the one about known-knowns and known-unknowns. With a massive, ongoing gushing oil spill, and an enormous ecosystem at risk, we're in the realm of the "known unknown" – we know that there is a huge amount of oil moving through the Gulf, but no one's quite sure exactly where it is or where it's going.
A group of federal agencies, including NOAA, Fish and Wildlife Service, Bureau of Land Management and the National Park Service are trying to push us into the "known known" category with teams sent out on what are essentially reconnaissance missions. Two months into the oil disaster, they're still grappling to understand the impacts on shorelines, turtles, mammals and more.
Last Thursday, for the first time, NOAA allowed a small group of ocean conservation activists to shadow a crew working on discovering the location and severity of subsurface oil. I joined our senior campaign director, Jackie Savitz, along with scientists and campaigners from Ocean Conservancy and the Gulf Restoration Network in a couple of skiffs that tailed the NOAA crew for a few hours on the water just east of Grand Isle, La.
Before we embarked, NOAA restoration specialist Sean Meehan gave us the rundown as we stood on the dock in Jean Lafitte, about 25 miles south of New Orleans. A jovial guy, Meehan is an experienced marine researcher, but even he acknowledged the unique difficulty of locating subsurface oil.

VANCOUVER--The Vancouver Ravens went on an 11-goal third-quarter scoring spree to blow past the Ottawa Rebel 21-10 in front of a Saturday afternoon crowd of 9,613 at GM Place.
Chris Gill scored five goals -- four of them in the critical third stanza -- and assisted on five more to fuel the late-developing rout. Ryan O'Connor picked up four of his seven assists in the third quarter, and two more in the fourth.
The Rebel, mired in an eight-game losing streak, scored the first three goals of the game, and held a 5-3 lead at halftime. However, the lead vanished within a furious 40-second span at the top of the third quarter. Gill pulled the Ravens within a goal at the 4:06 mark, and rookie Michael Law equalized 13 seconds later. Chris Prat, who finished with three goals and seven assists, gave the Ravens their first lead at 4:46.
After Ottawa re-tied the score with Steve Evans' power play goal, Vancouver put the game away with eight unanswered tallies. Gill scored three times during the decisive run, and assisted on rookie Peter Morgan's second goal of the period. Tyson Leies, Kevin Brunsch and Matt Dwane closed out the period, in which the Ravens outshot Ottawa 23-4.
The Ravens scored seven more times during the final 15 minutes. The Rebel managed four more tallies, including power play goals by Ryan Painter (2) and Jamie Roy.
Painter powered the Rebel offense with five goals and three assists, while Steve Evans and Chris Konopliff each scored two goals and dished up two more. Mike Benedict assisted on five tallies.

Now in our second decade of Kajima-funded projects, the CUREE-Kajima Research Program is a joint venture with the Kajima Corporation of Japan involving collaborative studies among researchers in the US and Japan. The topies researched have spanned many areas, but the theme of inter-university collaboration, and in this case international collaboration, remains the same.
CUREE-Kajima Phase V
Professor Tara C. Hutchinson
University of California, Irvine
Previous experiences during earthquake events emphasize the need for new technologies for real-time monitoring and assessment of facilities with high value nonstructural elements such as equipment or other contents. Moreover, there is substantial limitation in our ability to rapidly evaluation and identify potential hazard zones within a structure, exposing rescue workers, society and the environment to unnecessary risks. A real-time monitoring system, integrated with critical warning systems, would allow for improved channeling of resources. In recognition of these issues, we propose to investigate vision-based systems, specifically digital infrared cameras and video cameras, and develop a methodology for utilizing advanced monitoring techniques for risk assessment during earthquake events.
Our approach will be to develop a non-intrusive, high-resolution, high-speed network of these two types of vision-based systems and corresponding detection, tracking and analysis algorithms for monitoring equipment and contents in buildings. Shake table experiments will be utilized as a foundation for evaluating the approach. These experiments will use conventional (wire and wireless) transducers, providing a unique dataset for evaluating and refining the vision-based approach and delivering a proof-of-concept system to Kajima. A portion of this work will also be devoted to analyzing more conventional streamline image data (e.g. at lower resolution or lower speed), in recognition that many structures have such systems as their primary monitoring system for security purposes. In reality, earthquake events are our only full-scale, complete test bed for studying design methodologies and developing new strategies to mitigate future hazards and we propose to fully exploit data generated from these events.

CKV-02: Vision-Based Motion Tracking for Risk Assessment During Seismic Events
A civil engineering structure, a building or a bridge, undergoes many changes during its lifetime. Knowing the state of a structure is very important because we always strive to save lives in emergency situations and improve overall quality of life for people who use the structure. Recent advances in sensing and network technologies make it possible to collect a multitude of various data in and around the structure and to establish its state in a much more comprehensive manner than ever before by integrating this data. The goal of this project is to conceptualize, develop and implement a prototype of a framework for gathering, classification and integration of structural state data collected in and around a structure, and to enable effective visualization and fusion of such data to define the state of a structure. The components of the proposed prototype framework are structural state data types and meta-data, a structural state database, and database visual access tool built using Virtual Reality Modeling Language. Utility of this prototype framework will be evaluated using a small-scale shaking table test of an instrumented model frame.

CKV-03: Framework for Integration and Visualization of Structural State Data
B.F. Spencer, Jr.
University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign
The objective of this research is to develop a broad foundation for integrating together innovative structural health monitoring and structural control concepts aimed at extending the life of civil structures, helping to ensure the safety and performance of the structural system, and accurately assessing the condition of a structure immediately after a hazardous event. This comprehensive research plan seeks to develop an integrated system, including appropriate hardware, software, and networking components for acquisition and transmission of the data, as well as development of new diagnostic methods.
Although structural health monitoring and condition assessment is still in its infancy, the field of monitoring holds great promise. Similarly, structural response control, particularly those systems developed by the Kobori Research Complex at Kajima Corporation, have revolutionized the way that buildings can respond to dynamics loads. Combining these two technologies together offers even more opportunities.
This proposal is expected to make substantial strides in this direction, including (i) development of networked intelligent wireless sensors for health monitoring and control of structures based on the Berkeley Mote platform [note that employing the Mote platform will allow leveraging of the substantial resources that have already been invested by the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA)], (ii) development of structural health monitoring and control (SHM/C) algorithms that can take advantage of intelligent wireless sensor arrays, and (iii) proof of concept experiments on both laboratory and full-scale structures. The PI is committed to working closely with the researchers at the Kobori Research complex to develop a long-term collaboration that will synergistically advance this research. Successful completion of this collaborative research will enhance economic and practical strategies for structural health monitoring and control for natural hazard mitigation.
Additionally, the proposed activity will substantially advance the education of the students and young researchers involved.

After a dramatic, season-opening sweep against Southern Illinois, the Joliet Slammers hit the road and endured getting swept by the Gateway Grizzlies.
"Me and Darian (Sandford) talked to the guys a little bit. Gateway is a tough team to beat on the road,'' second-year Slammer Marquis Riley said. "We told them, 'Keep your head up. We've got a good team. Come back here, try to win the series.' ''
An 8-4 win Sunday over the Normal CornBelters at Silver Cross Field gave Joliet exactly what Riley described: a series win.
"If we can keep winning two out of three at home, I think we'll have a pretty good year,'' third baseman Grant DeBruin said.
DeBruin and Riley, who's hitting a team-best .405, helped the Slammers raise their record to 5-4 in the West Division.
DeBruin was 2-for-2 with two runs and an RBI to raise his average to .344, second-highest on the team after a slow start.
"I had a few days off in spring training, tweaked my hamstring,'' DeBruin said. "First couple games was getting my timing back down. I'm starting to feel good at the plate, getting pitches up in the zone, fastballs early, something I can hit.''
The Slammers opened the scoring with three runs in the first, including a sacrifice fly by Russell Moldenhauer and an RBI double from DeBruin.
Max Casper had a two-run single in a four-run fourth that gave Joliet a 7-2 lead. Adam Giacalone hit a solo homer in the fifth. Riley and CJ Epperson each had two hits.
"Everybody really did their part. It was a collective effort,'' Casper said.
Joliet left-hander Jake Hermsen, a Wisconsin native who played at Northern Illinois and in the Los Angeles Dodgers organization, made his first start of the season out of the bullpen.
"It was only a four-hour drive for my family. I had quite a few here,'' the 24-year-old rookie said. "My wife's family is originally from Joliet, so it's a good place to play for me and my wife.''
Hermsen gave up four runs on seven hits in 42/3 innings, with six strikeouts and two walks.
"I didn't have my best stuff in this game, but I made pitches when I needed to make pitches, got some big outs,'' Hermsen said.
Ryan Connolly (11/3 innings, 2 hits, 2 strikeouts) got the win. Brett Zawacki and Jordan Wellander shared the last three innings.
"The bullpen did an outstanding job,'' Joliet manager Jeff Isom said. "Jake showed us enough that he can be in the rotation.''
Andrew Busby (0-1, 1.50 ERA) gets his second start Tuesday in the series opener against the Washington Wild Things at Silver Cross Field.

The Voice Results: Down to 12by Matt Richenthal at . Comments
So... did your favorite make the cut?
The Voice chopped down its field to a dozen contestants tonight, as every team lost a pair. Let's get right to it, shall we?
Safe (via fan voting): Amanda Brown, Bryan Keith
Who Adam Saved? Between Loren Allred, Joselyn Rivera and Melanie Martinez, Adam went with Martinez because she's "unique."
Safe (via fan voting): Terry McDermott, Cassadee Pope
Who Blake Saved? Michaela Paige.
Safe (via fan voting): Dez Duron, Sylvia Yacoub
Who Christina Saved? Adriana Louise, so she could showcase her true talents.
Safe (via fan voting): Trevin Hunte, Nicholas David
Who Cee Lo Saved? Cody Belew because he was deemed the "Most Improved."
And there you have it, TV Fanatics. Which choice did you disagree with the most? Who are you happiest to see move on? Sound. Off. Now!
Matt Richenthal is the Editor in Chief of TV Fanatic. Follow him on Twitter and on Google+.Tags: The Voice
Is anyone else interested in watching this show after cutting Deborah? i can not hear, see any significant difference in any of Christina's gang.
Nicholas David is the only unique talent left.
A bunch of cookie cutter pop sell outs running the show.
It is a shame anyway we are constantly at war with our talents that are not comparable. Apples and oranges.
really liked Mc Kenzie and Deborah.
Adam, Blake and Cee Lo made the right choices tonight, although two of my favorites, De'borah and Mackenzie, didn't make it through. I can understand Cee Lo's decision, because he had a very strong team, but De'borah was the best person left on Xtina's team. After watching her get rid of Jesse last season, Aquile last week and now De'borah, makes me really happy that she won't be around next season. The Maroon 5 performance and the group performance of "Drive By" were highlights of the night.
Agreed with all of the picks by America and the coaches for Adam, Blake and Cee-Lo's team. On, Christina's team though, Dez skated by on the teenage girl vote and then Christina let go of her best singer - De'borah. It wasn't as much of a travesty as last season when she let go of Jesse, but I'd be wary of picking her as a coach if I was a contestant on the show.
AH! All but ONE of my favorites got through, and the one that didn't get through was my all time favorite: Mackenzie! I am really going to miss him... :( But still excited for all my other favorites. So since I can't say Mackenzie for the win anymore, go Bryan Keith!
Liked Maroon 5's performance....... really wasn't any huge surprises tonight........

Crooks seem to come at you every way you look. We all know that crooks use PC's to steal identities and things like that. We all know there are viruses all over the internet and in emails. But what many don't think about a few simple things that can stop many crooks in their tracks.
For those saying "whoa judge you know PC security too?", the answer is yup. I have loved PC's since I first saw one in 1989 or 90. But I am NOT a geek :). Just fascinated by em and have a knack at learning things quickly.
Ok back to the easy things to do. Many people deal with PC security at work, the annoying password changes, all the dang logins you know the stuff that makes a Monday a fun day
But those same people no matter how much PC security is beat in at work, never practice this at home. I have friends who actually work in the PC industry yet still fall short on their home machines.
What am I talking about? That simple act of logging in using a password. If you go to your XP pc and just click on your username to get into your desktop you have zero security for your login.
This means that anyone can have access. This includes a rogue PC that winds up on your wireless home network or even worse a virus you unwittingly activate. But when you have to type in a password to login to your PC then it is much more secure (it can get better but this is an easy start).
That simple change in your home PC habits can make a world of difference and here's why.
I mentioned a rogue PC on your home wireless network gainig access to everything under your login (my documents, the desktop, my pictures all you can see they can see). This is surprisingly easy to have happen and in fact many times I am the rogue PC.
If I am out and about and need access to the net real fast and quick drive about any neighborhood street will yield open networks all over the place. One may be yours! I then jump on hit the net and do what I need to do then drop off and away I go. The owner never knows.
Now I am not trying to hurt anything but I easily could. With no password set I could browse through your things (pc of course but still your private stuff) I could place a virus file on your PC and then make a change in your registry to run it or even place it in your startup menu. This virus could contain a key logger which records every keystroke and sends it back to me. I then run another program to look for logins.
Now I have all your login names and passwords to anything you login to from your home PC. That easy! Put a password on your login and now I have to hack your PC and work too hard to make it worth it when your neighbor's PC is wide open. So I move to him.
It happens all of the time! Nothing is fool proof but the more roadblocks you can place in front of a crook the better off you are..makes you a bad target. Ok so now you have the why you need to set your password down lets see how we can stop people from "jumpin on" your wireless network.
This is another easy fix. You simply need to turn off your SSID broadcasting. Now don't freak it sounds worse than it is. All this means is we set your wireless router to no longer say "hey I'm here" to the world. When you pull up a list from then on your network will no longer show in the detected networks box, which is a good thing.
It won't require any changes on your PC or anything since it already "knows" about your network since you are hooked to it now. But any new connections you will have to manually type it in cause your PC won't "see it". Another plus is the network name is case sensitive so since they can't see it they would have to already know it to find it.
Ok now you may be saying HOW do I set my PC to ask for a password? Easy I went and got you instructions to follow just head here http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/using/setup/winxp/accounts.mspx#2.
Now how do you turn off SSID broadcasting follow these instructions and you'll see a spot where they talk about setting a unique name (the case sensitive network name I mentioned earlier) but in that screenshot you'll see the radial button to turn OFF broadcasting. http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/using/networking/setup/wireless.mspx
For those who are brave enough (it is a good idea if you can do it) follow those same instructions and at the bottom you'll see where they have you turn on security and set a "password" or key. This also stops people from getting on your network you just have to be sure to remember it in case you ever need to add a new device although you can reset it easy using the same instructions. This is a more advance but highly recommended precaution.
I hope I didn't geek out too much it is hard to talk about this stuff without geeking out some at least :>) The whole point is that a couple little things like this can help protect you from identity theft, privacy invasion and just plain pain in the arse. All this password stuff is annoying but much less than the alternatives for sure!

Apple has release many new functions on the new iPhone 4s one of the most advertised is the voice assistant known as Siri. It won't entirely substitute all commands on the iPhone but can manage many things that you do daily without the need to touch the screen. Siri currently has a women's voice which is not possible to change to another voice. I am sure that in time Apple will allow other voices to be used. In order to use Siri the iPhone must be connected to the internet. You voice command is sent up to the Apples servers and a response is sent back, some of which can be very amusing. In order for Siri to understand your voice it is recommended that you are in a quiet room although Apple does use some noise cancellation hardware on the iPhone 4s.
iOS 5 with iCloud and iMessages
The new updates OS now comes with the iOS 5 system. Apple allows the synchronization of your photos, messages and documents across all your iOS devices with a new feature called iCloud.
Better Camera Support
The camera has also been revamped and now supports two cameras; one at front and one at the rear. The quality of the camera is 8 megapixels and allows for high resolution images and capturing HD movies. Movies are recorded at 1080 and can be viewed with much clarity on HD TVs. The video recording also boosts video stabilization for those with jittery hands. With Face time video calling feature already available the front facing camera can be used for video conversations. The built in camera can now be accessed when the iPhone is locked. Although it won't replace a dedicated camera it does do a good job.
iPhone 4s a Compelling Purchase
There are many compelling reasons to buy an iPhone 4s one of which is Siri which also allows voice dictation and voice commands. Apple has also adds hundreds of new features in the iOS update to add more features into their phones.

A Valentine's Day in Rome lasting a whole weekend
Rome, the eternal city, just as eternal is the love story set there... and in any case, on St. Valentine's Day, time slows down, doubles and sometimes stops. Giving your partner a stay in Rome on such a romantic occasion means kidnapping his/her heart forever.
During the day, the romantic corners and inspirations offered by this city are truly unique:
- Villa Doria Pamphilj is one of Rome's largest parks, on top of the Janiculum Hill. Once the home of the noble Pamphilj family, today it appears as a green haven in which to stroll amid avenues, fountains and the secret gardens of the villa, one of the best preserved in the city. To reach Villa Pamphilj: go to the MARCONI/GIBILMANNA bus stop and take the number 791(C.NE CORNELIA) for 10 stops and get off at the BEL RESPIRO stop. The villa is only a 250 metre walk from here.
- The famous Belvedere dello Zodiaco offers one of the most exciting views of the whole city of Rome, stretching as far as the Castelli Romani and the Apennine mountains. It is also famous for its lovers' path and the Lo Zodiaco restaurant, where you can dine on the scenic terraces above the city. To reach the Zodiaco: go to the MARCONI stop of the underground Line B (in the direction of REBIBBIA) for 7 stops and, at the TERMINI stop switch to line A (in the direction of BATTISTINI); after 5 stops, get off at LEPANTO station. Now go to the LEPANTO (MA) bus stop and take the number 913 (STAZIONE M.TE MARIO (FS-FR3)) for 12 stops. Get off at the PRISCIANO-MEDAGLIE D'ORO stop and continue on foot for 550 metres.
- From the keyhole in Piazza dei Cavalieri di Malta not everyone knows that you can enjoy a secret view of the Basilica of St. Peter's. An original way of seeing this wonderful and romantic city from another angle. To reach Piazza dei Cavalieri di Malta: go to the MARCONI station of the underground line B (in the direction of REBIBBIA) for 7 stops and get off at the CIRCO MASSIMO stop; continue on foot for 950 metres.
In the evening, to welcome our tired but still passionate hearts is all the elegance and comfort of the Hotel Pulitzer, a design hotel in Rome located in the Eur district.
Take a seat in the Paparazzi Restaurant, enjoy the delicious food and wines... and make the most of every moment of your romantic getaway!
Now you can enjoy your romantic getaway at the price of just 1 euro!

Dont be fooled
Hi Miriam,
I enjoyed listening to you on coast to coast tonight. I have been researching this great time beginning for 20 years now. I have had several encounter with divine light being from a higher dimensions of reality. At the age of 13 I had an encounter with the holy spirit. This is where i first was told to look for the hole in the sky. This amazing encounter lead me to understand that this reality is much different then perceived by most. I do believe that these so called aliens are about to unviel them selfs to us, but they are merely wolves in sheeps clothing. Your theories mostly correct but I see you are missing so many pieces of the big picture. And i see you trust these beings which I believe are the nephilim, children of the fallen angels that took the daughters of men as wife's. These aliens are demons living among us about to fake their appearance. as this blue star you speak of is their planet niburu on its return orbit into our solar system. Cern or the atlas project has began running this year use there hadron collider is about to create a black hole or star-gate into a higher dimension. There is so much more to this than im telling you but you need to continue putting the pieces of the puzzle together as i did. I also have the ability to astrally project into these higher dimensions of reality and realized that some of us are about to return to our true reality. you need to understand that these body are no more than suits for us to experience this lower vibrational reality.
Miriam's reply: As you have stated I feel the same with you….. that you are missing some peices. The beauty is that we have a discussion and by doing so we learn the truth. They are not ALL bad…… THAT is the point. We must be careful of who we put our trust in. YOUR SELF is the only one to listen to in the end. YOUR SELF will give you what is right for you.
Love Miriam

Checking in on Bryce Brown
September, 20, 2013
By Tom Carpenter | ESPN Insider
When the Philadelphia Eagles opened their first season under coach Chip Kelly with a 33-27 win over the Washington Redskins, their new-look offense appeared to have plenty of room for Bryce Brown to get into the mix in the backfield. However, after getting nine carries (for 25 yards) in that game, he only had three carries each of the next two games. All three of his carries Thursday evening against the Kansas City Chiefs came when LeSean McCoy left with an ankle injury.

From the Smoking Gun:
In a November 11 conversation, Blagojevich remarked that he knew Obama wanted Valerie Jarrett, a longtime confidante, to succeed him, "but they're not willing to give me anything except appreciation. Fuck them." Blagojevich, 51, and his chief of staff, John Harris, were arrested this morning on political corruption charges.
While the affidavit does not specifically name the six prospective Senate candidates discussed by Blagojevic, Harris, and the governor's aides, it appears that several are easily identified. "Senate Candidate 1″ is Jarrett. "Senate Candidate 2″ is Illinois Attorney General Lisa Madigan. Emil Jones, an Illinois state legislator, is "Senate Candidate 5." And "Senate Candidate 6″ appears to be J.P. Pritzker, a wealthy Chicago businessman. Additionally, Rahm Emanuel, the incoming White House chief of staff, is referred to in the affidavit as "President-elect Advisor."
