DNR seeks feedback on proposed hunting rules changes
Submitted: 01/26/2015
Enlarge Image
- Some of last year's hunting rules changes could become permanent.
Many of the new rules were just temporary, but some could stick around.
Last year, Wisconsin's Natural Resources Board allowed temporary rule changes for the season.
Those changes came out of the Deer Trustee Report, but they'll expire this year.
Now, the DNR wants to hear from the public before permanent rules go into effect.
"Our data that is going to be coming from these online surveys and meetings will be compiled and determined to make this rule a permanent rule change or if there's some modification that needs to be added to the proposed change," said Vilas County DNR Wildlife Biologist Michele Woodford.
The DNR is offering an online form for hunters to provide feedback until February 1.
The form lets hunters easily give their opinion on a variety of rule changes.
There will also be a hearing at James Williams Middle School auditorium in Rhinelander Tuesday night to discuss the proposed rule .
"There's going to be a lot of other changes. Like the private land, public land tags that we want to know after a year's worth of hunting season and all of these changes that we implemented what the public think of those," said Woodford.
You can find the online form by searching keyword "deer" on the DNR website at the link below.

Hi, what kind of plants would you recommend for a sunny dry site that I can't regularly water....... I'd like drought tolerant things...... it's not exactly dry in New Jersey in the heat of the summer but I need things that won't die from lack of water........ I'd like some groundcover, shrub and perennial or decorative herb suggestions...... I'd like to make a small garden in my family plot at the cemetery..... if they're are any drought tolerant disease resistant yellow roses...... that'd also be great as one deceased family member loved yellow roses....... I'd like alot of bang for the space since it's small and would like plants that work hard like evergreen and flowering etc. ......... would just love a low maintnenace garden I could tend a couple times a year to keep the spot looking decent...... neglected grave sites always make me sad....... any suggestions????? ........ |

One that worked very well in NY was Sedum. It has succulent leaves and grows best with little water and does great in full sun. It blooms late summer and it thrives in the heat. It dies back in the autum and is not affected by the cold winter. |
red and white yucca plants, lavenders also handle drought quite well. mix planting with daffodils and hardy bulbs, they can light up the cemetery in early srping when nothing else grow! self seeds anual like sage and rose mosk also do well in drought condition, that are the few i remember for now and i wish happy gardening to you. t-h |
On our family plot, we planted a small selection of bulbs with staggered flowering times throughout the seasons. Over the last 30 or so years, not only have the bulbs well multiplied, but the collection has also grown thru family and friends who much prefer to add to the collection and pop in a bulb rather than leave flowers which only last a day or so. We've never had to water and it's the prettiest plot in the cemetery. |

I so wish they would let me plant stuff on my mama's grave like that at the church! But they won't. I am trying to decide what to put in the urns on her headstone that would be green all year, and survive no matter the weather. any suggestions? |
Kalanchoe, flower carpet roses, Mexican bush sage, dwarf bougainvillea and ornamental grasses all do well with neglect. Check your climate zone for frost hardiness. |
Drought tolerance is increased by 25% or more, by adding 4 inches of wood chip mulch, which reduces evaporation and keeps the soil cooler, wood chips also supply all the fertilizing these roses will need, because they are closer to wild roses in their needs. Yellow Lady Banks rose is drought tolerant to some degree, and with mulch should do well with little supplemental water in your climate, see if your garden is warm enough in winter for them to survive. There is also a double white form that is my favorite. These are climbing roses that need support, if you could put a 4' tall fence around the plot, that would suffice. Their foliage is quite ornamental. summer blooming only. 'Harisons' Yellow' is a tough hybrid of two yellow rose species, and it survived along the Oregon trail with little care. summer blooming only. 'Seafoam' is a pretty white rose, that was bred from the wild rose named R. bracteata, and it has very good rebloom, it grows to be c. 4' tall by nearly 6 feet wide, here. In the Earthkind trials in Texas, for roses, 'Seafoam' was found to be quite drought tolerant,(as was Belindas' Dream) both survived 2 months with no rain or supplemental water, in a hot Texas summer. These were established plants when the supplemental water was stopped. Be sure these roses are grown on their own roots, and not budded or grafted onto rootstock. For all these roses, I suggest you grow them at home in a pot, until their root systems are well established, which will take about a year, but the wait will be worth it. Rose companion plants, that are drought tolerant in cool climates. Parma violets. I bought mine from Canyon Ranch.com these form very pretty clumps of heartshaped foliage with fragrant purple violets in spring. May need supplemental water 2-4 times a month, during the first year, if there is no rain. "snow in summer' would be my first choice, as a rose companion, because it is more drought tolerant. Each plant will cover c. a square yard, and grow to be c. 4 inches tall. Dainty white flowers carpet it in summer. Lavender, is another of my favorites for the drought tolerant garden, especially with pink and white roses. Old fashioned Pinks, such as Little Gem from Canyon Ranch Nursery, the older pinks, are wild species,or close relatives of wild pinks, which receive little summer water in their natural environment. The same is true for some of the wild geranium species. Luxrosa p.s. Incidentally, I found an old garden rose, named "Grandmothers Hat' rosebush in an abandoned garden in Oakland, Ca, where the neighbors said it hadn't been watered in years, yet survived Oaklands' summer drought, which typically lasts from June through September. It's a gorgeous pink rose, and very fragrant, and reblooms. vintage gardens.com sells it own-root. if there were room, this is how I would plant: Parma violet-Grandmothers Hat- or Harisons Yellow P. violet Pinks- 'Seafoam' -Pinks snow-in-summmer, snow-in-summmer |

found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking
for one too. Find a pet to adopt.
Find a pet to adopt |
My name is Nala!
Facts about Nala
- Breed: Poodle (Miniature)/Lhasa Apso Mix
- Color: White - With Tan, Yellow Or Fawn
- Age: Young
- Size: Small 25 lbs (11 kg) or less
- Sex: Female
Nala's Info...
I am already spayed, housetrained, a special needs pet, up to date with shots, and good with dogs.
Nala is a 2 yr old miniature poodle mix who is looking for her furever home.
Poor Nala was apparently on her own in the streets of Baltimore, MD for quite some time before she was taken to BARCS. Her white fur was almost black and so matted, no amount of brushing would make it right. While there, they realized that little Nala had an eye infection that was very serious. She was taken to an opthamologist who quickly decided it couldn't be saved either.
At first, Nala wasn't happy at all with all the human attention she was getting. Her eye was very painful and there were so many new places and people that she was confused and afraid. Everything she knew was now different. But with the love and adoration she received from her wonderful foster parents, it wasn't long until Nala bounced right back to become the happy, playful girl you see in the pictures.
Nala is up-to-date on all shots, microchipped and spayed. If you are interested in making Nala a part of your life forever, no matter what happens in yours, please go to www.impawsablerescue.org and complete an online application.
Reference checks and a home visit are required for all Im-Paws-Able dogs!
Other Pets at Im-Paws-Able Dog Rescue
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Nala, a Mechanicsburg Poodle (Miniature)/Lhasa Apso dog was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Poodle (Miniature)/Lhasa Apso for sale in Mechanicsburg, or seeking a Poodle (Miniature)/Lhasa Apso dog from a breeder in Mechanicsburg.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Mechanicsburg already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Mechanicsburg breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Poodle (Miniature)/Lhasa Apso breeders who help with Poodle (Miniature)/Lhasa Apso rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Mechanicsburg paves the way for another one to be saved.

northlakes Posts: 368I have an AWD SEL Freestyle. With 1000 miles on the odometer, I took a 750 mile trip to rescue a college bound child. 26 MPG highway on the way out. The return 750 miles was 24.9 MPG with a full load from a dorm room and bike on the back. My city mileage began at about 15 MPG, but moved up to 17 - 19 MPG. My combined mileage (city/hwy) is in the 21-22 MPG range. I was really pleased with the highway mileage. My Freebie now has about 2900 miles on it. :shades:
aplan Posts: 2I have an AWD which is EPA rated at 19 city and 24 hwy.
I currently get 17 city and 22 hwy. These are actual numbers; the onboard computer numbers overstate the city mileage and understate the hwy mileage.
I have 2600 miles on the car so I expect my mileage to increase slightly as time goes by. -

dgulino Posts: 38Just finished a 1500 mile trip in our FWD SE, which gives it a total of 3000 miles, so it's time for it's first oil change. The trip was about 90% highway driving, and we averaged about 27-28 mpg. Yes, it seems that the gas gauge moves steadily down, but I still managed over 400 miles on a single tank of gas on the last leg of the trip. At the end of the 400 miles, the gauge was halfway between 1/4 and empty.

bigred13 Posts: 25We're on our 2nd tank of gas with about 500 miles so far, and we're averaging about 18-20 both with the on board computer and manual measurements. We're going on a long trip from Boston to Ontario, Canada in about 3 weeks. We're hoping for better mileage. One of the reasons that we chose the Freestyle was because of the supposed better fuel economy. We'll let you know when we get back.
Also, on a related topic, we were scared to death to have to fill the gas tank for the first time. (we took delivery from the dealer with a full tank) Especially with the prices of late. It was a moral victory that it stopped @ $39 and didn't make the $40 mark. Trying to get used to the jump from a 12 gallon tank to a 19 gallon tank. -
sjl10 Posts: 1I have checked my gas mileage on almost every tank since purchasing my Limited AWD in November. I used the calculater method enough to know how to adjust the computer MPG. I also drive to maximize fuel economey. Local driving is consistantly about 21.5 MPG in heavly traveled suburban roads. On the highway 23 MPG to 24 MPG seems to be about as high as I can achieve.
hedden Posts: 28Just got my SEL Fwd. Two highway trips: first was 80 miles between similar elevations (795 ft to 816 ft) and I reset the mpg computer while on the interstate. Drove around 65-70 mph and was getting a consistent 30 mpg reading. After I left the highway and got to my destination, it was down to 29.5 mpg.
Second trip was 200 miles going down from 816 ft to 11 ft. Reset the mpg computer at the gas station in town to get a more accurate round-trip number. Drove a little faster, 70-80 mph most of the way. Final number was 26.5 mpg.
I'll reset the computer during the week while the wife drives it around town and report back for a city number. -
nitromax Posts: 641I just had a trip of about 150 miles over the weekend. Add to that some mixed city driving onthe same tank and my curent consumption is 23.4 mpg.
Only about 1000 miles on the car so I'm expecting the mileage to get a little better.
Some tanks do all city driving and during those times I'm seeing about 18 mpg average. -
branty Posts: 53Just returned from a trip Toronto - Montreal return (650 miles) and our mileage was 25 (calculated manually). Have not filled up again yet but the computer said the return trip was 26 mpg. Used the cruise control most of the way (set at about 110 kph - 68 mph). We now have about 9,300 miles on our Freestyle. Wonderfully comfortable vehicle on a long trip!
jackief Posts: 10I'm on my 3rd tank of gas and reset the MPG after picking up the car (around 30 miles). I am now at ~700 miles and at 20.1 mpg. about 60% of my driving is highway and rest mostly back roads (30-40mph) some city (stop and go). I am doing a drive this weekend around 125mi each way plus local driving there, will reset the gauge before the trip to get an all highway #.
I traded in a 99 volvo v70 xc and was getting about 22 per tank in the summer and I'm happy that I am within 2 mpg of that. I expect the number to go up a bit as the car breaks in. -
vicenac Posts: 229I've got this car for it's fuel economy. So far I have 1100 miles on it all made in a weekend trip LA to Sacramento to San Francisco and back. As you can see most of it is highway. I AM SCARED! We took it from the dealewr with 37 miles and the computer read 8.6 MPG. I averaged one wat about 20 MPG driving between 65 and 105 Mph - mostly arownd 70. We are now back and the computer reads 19.3 MPG. Is it ever going to go better?

While playing with the computer, I've gotten 4 mpg while idling at a stop light right after resetting it and I've gotten 80 mpg while going down a hill with my foot off the gas after resetting.
Reset the computer and you should see a difference. -
vicenac Posts: 229I reset my computer a few times. It's funny! I did it in a parking lot and you can see instant readings for a few seconds or minutes. Standing still is telling you 0 MPG. Which it is right. I did reset it on the highway driving 65 and the reading was 28.9 to 30. After driving aggressively the average dropped to 24.
Finishing a short trip from the airport on city streets brought the average back to 19. -

davidgolf Posts: 3I've had two highway trips that I have tracked mileage accurately: the first, with 800 km on FWD Se, delivered 28.2 miles per imperial (Canadian) gallon. The second, at about 6,500 km, delivered 31.9 miles per imperial gallon. These trips were made with five adults and a large dog and needles to say, with the price of gas in Canada now, (about $5.45/ Imp gal. or $4.54/ US gal), I am happy with it so far and hope it keeps on improving!

jrtexas Posts: 13Just completed a roundtrip from Dallas to eastern Ohio and West Virginia. Total of about 2,700 miles. Probably 85% interstate with the remainder on hilly, curvey secondary roads in the mountains of WV. Average mpg for the trip was 24.3 with a high of 26.6 mpg and a low of 20.6 mpg. My current mileage is just under 11K miles.
I think the one easy thing that improves mileage is to use cruise control whenever possible. I set my speed at 70-75 mph and the Freestyle purrs along at about 2,000rpm consistently except for the occasional need for hill climbing power.
The Freestyle is a very comfortable travel car and has lots of cargo space. We're very happy with ours -
branty Posts: 53Not sure where "davidgolf" is from but in in Toronto gas went up to $1.35 per litre (Canadian) following Katrina but today regular gas is back down to 99.6 cents/litre. At these prices it costs about $10 more to fill the tank than it did before Katrina. Glad we only have to put regular gas in our Freestyle. We've been getting about 21 mpg (city) and 27 mpg (hwy) which I am not going to complain about. It is about the same mileage as out Mazda 626 (V6) - which uses premium gas!
davidgolf Posts: 3I am in Nova Scotia, Canada and the price of regular went up to $1.40/litre, Canadian, just after Katrina. It is now about $1.15/litre, Canadian. I use cruise as much as I can on the highway and keep to the speed limit, 100 kph or 110 kph. I live in Cape Breton and the terrain is rolling hills with some steep inclines. I figure the higher the price, the closer to the legal limit I will drive, an extra 15 minutes on a trip of 300 km is no big deal.
passat_2002 Posts: 468
vicenac Posts: 229How do you guys get these numbers? I keep reading of people getting amazing MPG and keep waiting for mine to get to those numbers.
My FWD FS has 1700 miles now, and we still get 14 MPG city and 19-22 freeway.
Can this huge difference from your numbers be caused by driving style?
I am beginning to think that I've got a bad one. It is noisy (think jetliner hum), hungry and sways in turns quite a lot. -
passat_2002 Posts: 468Easy to explain. Some people's "city" driving includes a lot of hwy. style driving. Other people's "city" driving is all stop-and-go. Makes for a huge difference in MPG. Take your Freebie on the highway about 60-70mph and "zero out" it's MPG calculator in the message center. See if it doesn't say something around 26-29 MPG after a few miles.
"sways in turns quite a lot."
I doubt it. This isn't a Ferrari you know.

I love that the school is so welcoming. There is an amazing community and they are working hard to improve the test scores. Kids are happy. Teachers seem happy. They have practically done a home visit of about 95% of the students at the school. Great programs. And happy about the appropriation passed to remodel the school.

Four Cover Letter Secrets That Will Open Doors by Debra Wheatman - Dec, 2010 Sending a résumé without a cover letter is like driving at night without your lights on.

Give Your Career a 360 by Alexia Vernon - Dec, 2010 I'm a big fan of individual and organizational feedback–that which comes from others as well as the self-directed, self-reflective kind.

It's Quality, Not Just Quantity that Gets You Hired by Jessica Holbrook Hernandez - Dec, 2010 Over the last few years, I've heard a lot of very intelligent job seekers casually remark they had sent out hundreds of resumes while looking for a job.

Unfortunately, these job seekers were flawed in their thinking—and were generally not getting any hits from their resumes. While... |

One of the cats attached himself sideways to the side of a mesh Butterfly enclosure instead of at the top hanging upside down in the "J." Can he still transform into a chrysalis? Thanks!!! |
Follow-Up Postings:
It should be fine. I don't have monarchs do it very often but many of my red admirals seem to prefer the side. |
Strange, I just had one do it for the first time. Last night he was j shaped but this morning he is straighter. Makes me a little nervous. I'll just have to wait and see. I also had two cats hang close to one another (at the top) the one kept touching the other with his feelers because he wasn't hanging yet and still moving around some. The other one who was in a j was getting very annoyed, swinging himself at the other one trying to get him away. This morning all is quiet and they are both hanging in their j :) Cathy |
- Posted by treehugger100 z6MD (My Page) on Tue, Jul 29, 14 at 10:41
My first one hung in a J for a full 24 hours. Now he is straight and turning black. I hope he is not dead. It has been 18 hours since he started. The other one is attached to the side by his butt and a claw nail; not hanging at all but completely horizontal. I tried to unhook his nail but he got upset and rehooked it so I am leaving him alone. I wonder if I am causing this problem by unzipping the cage to clean out younger cat poo while the bigger cats are trying to form the chrysalis. Is it my fault? They do a lot of swinging around with the unzipping and zipping despite my best efforts! Please help! I have 18 more I don't want to kill! |
- Posted by treehugger100 z6MD (My Page) on Tue, Jul 29, 14 at 15:35
The one hanging straight is dead. The one sideways is dying. Will someone please tell me what I am doing wrong? I have 6 nice chrysalises outside and this group is 15. I've lost the first two. I purchased these from 2 different places. I also have 3 babies wild caught. Any ideas? How long should it take from the J to a chrysalis? 10 minutes? 6 hours? I don't know. The 6 outside happened while I was away. Thanks! |
Hi Treehugger, Sorry for your loss. I'm not completely sure why you are having the issues. Maybe some sort of bacteria? I imagine someone with more knowledge will chime in during the next day or two. If you know they are dead/dying, though, I would get them out of the cage as soon as possible. Keep in mind that less than 10% of caterpillars in the wild (I think the number is closer to 2%) turn into butterflies. So, if you lose less than 90%, you are helping out. It is always difficult to lose them, though. As far as how long they hang in the "J", I don't have experience with monarchs, but my black swallowtails generally take about a day (sometimes 2) once they get in the "J" position. For some reason, they tend to form their chrysalis at night or very early in the morning, so from my experience, if they get in their "J" close to dark, usually they form their chrysalis the next night. If they get in the "J" in the morning, they may form their chrysalis that night. I'll occasionally have one form their chrysalis during the day, but they are the exception rather than the rule. Sorry I couldn't help more. |
- Posted by treehugger100 z6MD (My Page) on Tue, Jul 29, 14 at 16:40
spiroan, Thanks for responding. I am worried that disturbing them during this process by unzipping and zipping the cage could be messing them up somehow. Or possibly the genetics on this "batch" were weak to begin with. I will some one in Monarchs would lend me some smarts. It is so sad. By the way, I LOVE BST. |
I can't imagine that unzipping and zipping the cage would hurt them, unless they are falling to the ground. But monarchs may be different. I'm sure someone who has raised monarchs will have a better idea. |
- Posted by cottonwood468 none (My Page) on Tue, Jul 29, 14 at 22:32
To any of you watching a monarch caterpillar hanging in the J position, waiting for it to form a chrysalis. Immediately before forming a chrysalis, the feelers will hang absolutely straight down like a wet black thread in rain with no wind. So that's when you sit and watch. Don't look away you'll miss it. Takes less than a minute to form chrysalis. After hanging upside down for many hours. In another eleven days, the monarch will emerge and it will usually be in the morning, around dawn. So get up and have your coffee and watch. |
- Posted by treehugger100 z6MD (My Page) on Wed, Jul 30, 14 at 6:19
Thanks, Cotton. I have raised Monarchs before but never had this happen. The third Monarch just died. He was in a perfect J yesterday, all day. This morning, he is hanging straight down and dead like the last one. So this is 3 in a row that died while trying to morph. Doesn't anyone have any ideas on what this could be? |
- Posted by cottonwood468 none (My Page) on Wed, Jul 30, 14 at 8:37
The University of Kansas has a site called monarchwatch, I I think you can find disease/parasite info there. |
- Posted by treehugger100 z6MD (My Page) on Wed, Jul 30, 14 at 9:14
Cotton, Thanks for trying to help! There is nothing there relating to this issue. I did email someone from the University but as this is Summer, I am not sure I will receive a timely response. I will let you know. It could not be a simple disease since they were in brand new large cages (no transference of disease), changed twice a day and kept indoors. |
I don't remember if u said whether or not these were cats u brought in from outside or not. If u brought them in from outside they were probably parasitized while outside. That happened to one of mine 2 years ago. I couldn't tell when it was a cat, it seemed healthy. But when it changed it turned black and a string came out the bottom of the chrysalis. I crushed it (a very hard thing to do)! |
- Posted by treehugger100 z6MD (My Page) on Wed, Jul 30, 14 at 11:02
Cat, This batch was purchased online. They were eggs and babies that hatched on the way in the box. |
Hi We're did you get the batch? Butterflyworx is the worst they inbreed a lot. So that's why but I have had the same thing happen three times with all different batches from the wild but I think they were parasitizied. Jacob |
- Posted by treehugger100 (My Page) on Wed, Jul 30, 14 at 11:35
Jacob, I bought them from Butterfly Bushes.com. I ordered 10 eggs and received 18. I am down to 12 as of today. |

Have you used any flea/tick products on a cat or a dog in the last couple of months?These products are extremely powerful and have a chemical that interupts an insects ability to reach adulthood.What you describe is exactly what happened to an entire brood of 30 pipevine caterpillars 6 months after I had used a bug bomb for fleas in my home.2 years later after using advantage flea/tick treatment on my cat a brood of monarchs suffered the same fate.The monarch caterpillars were in a large terrarium with a screen lid and my cat decided to take a nap on top a few days after being treated. |
- Posted by treehugger100 z6MD (My Page) on Wed, Jul 30, 14 at 13:34
We do not own dogs/cats. Your story is incredible. I can totally see how that could happen. If it was not something wrong with the genetics, the only thing I can think of is the milkweed was contaminated by farmers. Perhaps the wind blue it into the wild areas. But we collected from different areas. And why would our first group grow fine? (They are actually hatching right this minute! Yeah!!!) It is just this one group. |

Okay, I just thought I'd get this off my chest. I just bought a GTX 280 to replace my pair of 8800 Ultras, which were not giving me adequate performance and stability (i.e. run in SLI they tended to have driver related crashes too frequently, even with nVidia's latest drivers). So I go to install it and I see that my power connectors are dual 6-pin connectors, where the inputs on the card are a 6-pin and an 8-pin connector. Well the dual 6-pin connectors fit fine into the 6-pin and 8-pin slots, it just leaves two pins unused. However, the computer won't boot up or send any signal to the monitor. So I reinstall one of the 8800 Ultras and go online, then I read that the GTX 280 won't work with dual 6-pin connectors.
I'm getting really annoyed, because I just bought my current PSU (an Enermax Galaxy 1000 Watt) last year when I upgraded from dual 7800GTX, because the old Enermax Liberty I was running didn't have the right power connectors or enough juice for the dual 8800 Ultras. It was supposed to be future-proof! Whatever happened to the days when you could just swap out a graphics card and not have to buy a new PSU every time you upgraded the graphics card? Ahhh, the good old days of AGP, always backward compatible with the previous generation... None of this worrying about power connectors.
So I guess I need to buy a new PSU again. I just hope the next generation of graphics cards don't force me to do this again! Any recommendations for a good PSU (1000W or greater) with 6-pin and 8-pin PCI Express auxilliary power connectors? I hope it really will be future-proof for at least a couple more years. I'll have to keep upgrading graphics cards until I get flawless performance in Crysis at 2560x1600 with all effects maxed. The GeForce GTX 280 is supposed to only give 14 or 15 FPS, so that means I'll probably be upgrading the graphics card again within two years. I really hope whatever PSU I upgrade to this time will be ready when that time comes.

The Global Intelligence Files
On Monday February 27th, 2012, WikiLeaks began publishing The Global Intelligence Files, over five million e-mails from the Texas headquartered "global intelligence" company Stratfor. The e-mails date between July 2004 and late December 2011. They reveal the inner workings of a company that fronts as an intelligence publisher, but provides confidential intelligence services to large corporations, such as Bhopal's Dow Chemical Co., Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon and government agencies, including the US Department of Homeland Security, the US Marines and the US Defence Intelligence Agency. The emails show Stratfor's web of informers, pay-off structure, payment laundering techniques and psychological methods.
[OS] INDONESIA - Dems want former judge, staff summoned in Andi case

The Democratic Party has called on the House of Representatives working
committee to summon former Constitutional Court (MK) judge M. Arsyad
Sanusi and former staffer Mashuri Hasan to clarify the MK letter
falsification allegations that implicated party member Andi Nurpati.
Democratic Party deputy secretary general Ramadan Pohan said the party did
not recognize of Andi Nurpati's involvement in the falsification when she
was a General Election Commission (KPU) commissioner in 2009.
He added that there was an indication that Arsyad and Mashuri were the
ones who were responsible for forging the letter.
However, Andi must also be summoned to explain the case, he said.
Andi and several others allegedly forged an MK letter in 2009 that granted
a legislative candidate a seat in the House rather than another candidate.
The MK reported the case to the police in 2010, but there has been little
positive police response.

Entrance will be free, and this is an excellent opportunity to see the best 44 young cricketers in the Country at U15 level.
This will be the 28th festival - the previous 27 have given rise to 320 future first-class cricketers, and 61 'Bunburys' have gone on to play for England. The most recent examples being Ben Stokes and Joe Root, both Bunburys in 2006.
The County has strong connections with the festival. Indeed, current Senior Coach Ben Smith was the very first Bunbury in 1987 and County players have featured regularly ever since, Shiv Thakor being the most recent.
It should be an exciting day with two games of T20 cricket, one starting at 11am and the other at 2pm. Catering will be available in The Meet and in The Fox Bar. Please come along and see the next generation of England cricketers.

What a strange little weed, it's just a single leaf, never seen anything like it.
These are growing in the mulch at the base of my oak tree clump in the middle of my lawn. They are strange single leaves growing off a long root strand, I assume they are all interconnected deep underground somehow, somewhere, but when I try to dig deep, I inevitably cut the root strand and can't see how far down it goes. I'll probably just use a small paintbrush and some herbicide on each leaf....but any clue what it is? Pictures:
Follow-Up Postings:
They look like very young dog-tooth violet to me. I tried for years to get them to grow!!!! No luck with'em here. |
Wow, you mean an invader that I may actually want to keep! Cool, I'll leave them alone the rest of this season and see what happens. I wonder if the previous owner planted them around the base of the tree to make things look nice there, you could be right. Unless someone things it's something else... The majority are growing in the mulch at the base of the tree, some are growing in the lawn area surrounding the tree (they seem to be growing outwards in lines extending from the centerpoint at the tree). |
They can take quite a while to bloom. I've been watching over some in my yard, that came from I don't know where, for about six years now. The patch keeps getting bigger, but still no flowers. |

Heritage Retreats Inc dba University Heritage Society Reviews
Invite reviews
Heritage was an awesome trip that opened my life up to more learning and deeper thinking. I also feel like I have a community of people around me that share something that no one can understand but us. This is why I donate.

When was your last experience with this nonprofit?
Most charitable organizations deal with physical, medical, or social needs. Heritage Retreats deals with souls; that is, it rescues and motivates - for a lifetime - young souls that are drifting away from their Judaic roots and may be lost altogether. Rabbi Kreitenberg, a visionary and doer, is an inspiring leader that has devoted his life to helping young college students understand, appreciate, enjoy and return to the religion of their forefathers. It is a task of a high order and he feels greatly saddened when he has to turn away applicants because funds are not available to include them in existing programs. If you feel that saving a Jewish soul is a worthy task Heritage Retreats should be part of your charitable giving.
The Great!
I've personally experienced the results of this organization in...
I have visited Heritage Retreats and spoken to college students enrolled in the program. They were very enthusiastic about the experience and told me that not only did they feel motivated themselves but they felt that they could influence their friends as well.
Ways to make it better...
If I had to make changes to this organization, I would...
Provide outdoor activities and entertainment that might prompt individuals and families attending to contribute more towards covering actual expenses, rather than relying om contributions.
I am truly impressed with the organization. The students who attend the program gather tremoundous amounts of information in a warm surrounding environment. When the student leaves the program they have the knowledge to continue with their pursuit of their own religion. They are able to implement what they learned in our society that we live in. It is a great feeling to see people return to their faith that has existed for thousands of years.
The Great!
I've personally experienced the results of this organization in...
I have experienced this organization in Santa Barbara California.
More feedback...
What I've enjoyed the most about my experience with this nonprofit is...
The ability to meet the students and teachers.
If this organization had 10 million bucks, it could...
get more people involved with their faith.
How frequently have you been involved with the organization?
About once a year
When was your last experience with this nonprofit?
For the past several years we have been a contributor to Heritage Retreats. I have personally visited their summer program in Southern California several times. I have found it to be an excellent program where the participants, whom I have interacted with, have always told me how much they have learned and the lifelong relationships they have formed have contributed to their lives. I have found Rabbi Kreitenberg to be an excellent teacher and administrator. I fully intend to continue supporting this program.

I'm on about my 4th large coffee (not OP but my weekend splurge) and I am just walking out the door to music lessons. Must admit I am coping with listening to guitar practice this year much better than recorder practice last year. My dd REALLY wants to play violin but I don't think I can cope with that!

Meemers Was Tiny But Now He's a Fat Cow
So, we got Dr. Meemersworth just over a year ago, and he was a tiny kitten back then, now he's a fat fluffy cow. He's still cute, but not as cute as he used to be, although Martina disagrees with me on this. She enjoys yelling out, "HE'S SO FLUFFFFYYYY!!!" and rubbing his tummy. I have this video on my desktop that I've been saving forever, and I keep on looking at it from time to time to remember how tiny he was, back when we thought he was a she. I figured, why have I not shared this yet? So here it is. Meemers the super tiny kitten. ERMAHGERD HE'S SO CUTE!
Also, I found another video of Meemers being a nipple addict. And by nipple I mean earlobe. He likes to suck on earlobes. We did a video of it back in the day and it went viral. Our first viral video ever! Whenever he goes for earlobe eating we say that he's looking for a nipple. Except he says it in his voice, which – if you haven't heard it – is basically him converting every vowel to an E: "Heey gees. Geev Mee Yer Neeperrrs!" Side note: he still does that to this day. Every morning we wake up to him looking for neeperrrs. And by we I mean Martina. Apparently my ear nipple is not up to his refined standards. He is now a wine-ear-nipple connoisseur.
I'm sounding like a crazy cat person. Just watch these cute videos of Meemers before he was the fat horsebear he is today. The two videos are in a playlist. If you can't view the playlist, then you should at least be able to see the first video, above. Here's the second video:
And, lastly, if you haven't subscribed to our Open the Happy Channel, where we do videos like this from time to time, you should do so! It's so cute and will help you to look heartwarming and adorable to your loved ones when you forward them a spammy email with the link to our video with the subject line of "FWD: FWD: FWD: OMG cute Korean cat does cute things". You know what I'm talking about.
Love, Meemers out! =^ㅅ^=

Open the Happy-
Oh simon…You lookk so freaking happy
How did meemers get his name?
meemers is all grown up now. T.T
As a fourth year vet student, pleeeeease get Meems to lose weight. Obesity is becoming a very common and serious concern in cats. Purina did a study on obesity following littermates and found that animals that were moderately overweight lived 2 years less than their healthy weight littermates on average. It also makes them more predisposed to diseases like FLUTD, fatty liver, diabetes mellitus, etc. I've watched a lot of your videos, and have noticed that you guys put quite a bit of effort into eating healthy and losing weight, and I think it's important to help your pets get there too! I promise, as the owner of a fluffy cat, that he will still be super fluffy at a healthy weight.
I have looked at several images on their site from the past couple of weeks and Meemers is NOT fat! He is what a year-plus-old male Scottish Fold should look like. I should know, I own two. (Female adult and a male kitten.) Scottish Fold males can grow a pound a month their first year. Their average is 10-13 pounds. Females is 6-9 pounds. My kitten looks larger than his bigger sister because of how fluffy his long-haired coat is, but she weighs more. When Meemers stands his posture is strong and his coat is excellent. You have a very healthy cat.
You should do a Draw My Life for Meemers :D
As cute as those Korean boys in the newest video. ;)
every time I see my cat I talk in meemers voice and every time I talk to a dog I do the spudgy voice ^_^
MEEMERS~! Super super cute.
He's adorable, but yes he's gotten really big… tee hee
GOSH HIS FLUFFINESS IS SO CUTE!! I want a cat now…..^0^
You know what? That first video that went viral on your channel, was the video introduced me to you guise! From there it went to the video where Martina shows us how she colors her hair, and from then on, I was in love with your channel! Now I have watched almost every video you have out there, and I'm not stopping. At the time I watched the first videos, I didn't know that you lived in Korea and was making videos about life there and all the other amazing videos you put up, or that you had a blog, but I was curios about Korean culture and music before watching your channel, but you dragged me deeper into the world of kpop and korea in generally. I just want to thank you for that, Simon and Martina! <3
My cat has become a fat cow as well
Can we also have a Doctor Meemers draw your life? Pretty please? :D
Aww Simon, don't be mean! :P Meemers is a cute kitty cow, haha.
Since this is a Meemers video I'm posting a painting I made of Meemers! =^ㅅ^= Hope you like it!
(I did put this on your Facebook account a few days ago but I wasn't sure if you guise had seen it, so I'm posting it here to). :)-
Oh my gosh, that's so adorable :o *asplodes for teh kawaii*
w0ow u R a real painter!!!! it is awesome!
Thank you! :)
OHMAIGAT! HE'S SO SWEET! That's wonderful. Thank you so much for taking the time to make this!
Thank you for responding! I'm so glad you liked it! ^^
Not to be a downer or anything, but obesity is pretty serious in cats. And yeah, he seems overweight(from what I've seen in your videos). A great way to fix that is to change to raw or high meat content food(make sure it's wet), with little fat or additives, corns, etc. Then play with him, for 10-15 minutes twice a day. Toys like the da bird is great to get cats going. It'll make him much more healthy :) Just a thing I thought I'd leave here. Love the video, he's so adorable!
Hmmm…Meems has gotten quite large…I'm thinking BBQ…?…
i also admit to that. i though meems species does not go tht big. i was wrong. more of his vids please!!!!!
Meems was a super cute kitten, but he's still so fluffy and lovely now. Hah. I miss my cat.
Your two most viewed videos are a reflection of the internet: a cute kitten and boooooooooooooobs.
I just want to let you two know that now I put on your silly voices for Spudgy and Meemers all the time. Like I literally scream "MUM!" when I'm trying to get my mom's attention, and I whine and complain like the Meems. You guys have ruined me. xD
Oh my gosh, I'm not the only!!! *cries tears of friendship*
We've ruined ourselves. We found a restaurant close by called "Pudagi" and we call it "SUH PU DA GEE!" and imagined a video in which Spudgy goes in to order food. And in his voice he goes "Hello. I would like one bowl of your finest meat slop, please. No medicines in it, though. That's gross"
I do talk in the Spudgy voice sometimes..especially in my head! *crazy eyes*
I talk to my baby nephew like that and my sis gives me weird looks :P
I do the same thing XD No one knows why I do these things haha
LOL Meemers was probably like, "why isn't milk coming out of this ear. whyyy"
You should try to catbeard with Meemers!

A core competency is a concept in management theory introduced by, C. K. Prahalad, Julian Kriviak and Gary Hamel.[1] It can be defined as "a harmonized combination of multiple resources and skills that distinguish a firm in the marketplace". [2]
Core competencies fulfill three criteria:[1]
Canon's core competencies from the original paper are precision mechanics, fine optics, and micro-electronics.[1] All products in Canon's product portfolio are based on at least one of these core competencies.
A core competency results from a specific set of skills or production techniques that deliver additional value to the customer. These enable an organization to access a wide variety of markets.
In an article from 1990 titled "The Core Competence of the Corporation", Prahalad and Hamel illustrate that core competencies lead to the development of core products which further can be used to build many products for end users. Core competencies are developed through the process of continuous improvements over the period of time rather than a single large change. To succeed in an emerging global market, it is more important and required to build core competencies rather than vertical integration. NEC utilized its portfolio of core competencies to dominate the semiconductor, telecommunications and consumer electronics market. It is important to identify core competencies because it is difficult to retain those competencies in a price war and cost-cutting environment. The author used the example of how to integrate core competences using strategic architecture in view of changing market requirements and evolving technologies. Management must realize that stakeholders to core competences are an asset which can be utilized to integrate and build the competencies[vague] Competence building is an outcome of strategic architecture which must be enforced by top management in order to exploit its full capacity.[citation needed]
Please note: according to Prahalad and Hamel's (1990) definition, core competencies are the "collective learning across the corporation". They can therefore not be applied to the SBU and represent resource combination steered from the corporate level. Because the term "core competence" is often confused with "something a company is particularly good at", some caution should be taken not to dilute the original meaning.
In Competing for the Future, the authors Prahalad and Hamel show how executives can develop the industry foresight necessary to adapt to industry changes and discover ways of controlling resources that will enable the company to attain goals despite any constraints. Executives should develop a point of view on which core competencies can be built for the future to revitalize the process of new business creation. Developing an independent point of view of tomorrow's opportunities and building capabilities that exploit them is the key to future industry leadership.[vague]
For an organization to be competitive, it needs not only tangible resources but intangible resources like core competences that are difficult and challenging to achieve. It is critical to manage and enhance the competences in response to industry changes in the future. For example, Microsoft has expertise in many IT based innovations where, for a variety of reasons, it is difficult for competitors to replicate or compete with Microsoft's core competences.
In a race to achieve cost cutting, quality and productivity, most executives do not spend their time developing a corporate view of the future because this exercise demands high intellectual energy and commitment. The difficult questions may challenge their own ability to view the future opportunities but an attempt to find their answers will lead towards organizational benefits.
Core competencies are related to a firm's product portfolio via core products. Core products contribute "to the competitiveness of a wide range of end products. They are the physical embodiment of core competencies."[3] Approaches for identifying product portfolios with respect to core competencies and vice versa have been developed in recent years. One approach for identifying core compencies with respect to a product portfolio has been proposed by Danilovic & Leisner (2007).[4] They use design structure matrices for mapping competencies to specific products in the product portfolio. Using their approach, clusters of competencies can be aggregated to core competencies. Bonjour & Micaelli (2010) introduced a similar method for assessing how far a company has achieved its development of core competencies.[5] More recently Hein et al. link core competencies to Christensen's concept of capabilities, which is defined as resources, processes, and priorities. [6][7] Furthermore, they present a method to evaluate different product architectures with respect to their contribution to the development of core competencies.

7 And when his parable was taken, he said, Balak, the king of Moabites, brought me from Aram, from the hills of the east; and he said, Come thou, and curse Jacob; haste thou, and curse Israel. (And when he had received his prophecy, he said, Balak, the king of the Moabites, brought me from Syria, yea, from the hills of the east; and he said, Come thou, and curse Jacob; hurry thou, and curse Israel.) | 7 Then Balaam uttered his oracle: "Balak brought me from Aram, the king of Moab from the eastern mountains. 'Come,' he said, 'curse Jacob for me; come, denounce Israel.' |
