It was Independence Day and I was sitting in my office gazing at the serenity of Sasspan Creek. The sea creatures seem to be living peaceably with each other. They give space and place to one another without squawking, fighting or jealously guarding their spot in the water or on our dock. I watched them and wonder why we humans cannot seem to share our earth in such an equitable manner.
Pleasant View to host family fun day
Pleasant View Missionary Baptist Church, N.C. 904 E. in Sunset Beach, will host a Family Fun Day and Health Fair from 9 a.m.-4 p.m. Saturday, July 19.
There will be games, door prizes and free food and clothing.
The event, open to the public, is sponsored by the Brunswick County Minority Infant Mortality Task Force and the Pleasant View Mission.
Pastor Moses C. Herring, son of the late James Clyde and Lucille Williams Herring, will celebrate 50 years of preaching the gospel this month.
The Mount Zion Church family will celebrate his 44th anniversary at the church in Longwood with a banquet at 7 p.m. Friday, Aug. 8. The Rev. Jimmy Brockington, pastor of the Marion Baptist Church from Salter, S.C., will be the guest speaker for the morning service, culminating Herring's 44th anniversary on Aug. 10.
When Kristen Smith, then 12, took a coffee table and set it up in an open space, her dad, Wayne, proudly anticipated what was about to happen. Kristen hauled another coffee table to the same area and set it across from the first table. Needing one more object to complete a make-believe pattern of barrels for a barrel race, Kristen grabbed a lawn chair and set it in a spot to complete the triangular pattern.
"I thought it was great," Wayne said.
MYRTLE BEACH, S.C.—Points leader Tommy Poole of Brunswick County won for the eighth time in Street Stock racing July 12 at Myrtle Beach Speedway.
Poole finished ahead of Dean Cumbee (second in points), Clay Gosssett, David Hatchell and Kent Bellamy.
In Mini-Stock, Terry Evans won for the second time. Mark Evans was second, Lucas Williams third, Dub Fulford fourth and Harry Floyd fifth.
Dub Fulford leads in points and Adam Fulford is second, 52 points behind.
When Robbie Allen held tryouts last month for his Brunswick Community College baseball team, he was hoping to find some help at certain positions, but he was uncertain which positions would be filled.
"I didn't know what to expect," he said.
The tryouts turned out better than expected. Of the 35 who tried out at West Brunswick High School, Allen decided to invite 10—two catchers, two outfielders, two infielders and four pitchers—to play for the fall team.
"I was surprised we got 10 altogether," he said.
A popular prelude to the Major League Baseball All-Star game is the home-run contest. Several players get their chance to swat grooved pitches as far they can, and it is a treat for the fans at the All-Star site and television viewers to see how many home runs these players can hit.
There's a common saying among tournament fishermen, "I'd rather be lucky than good." If you are a fisherman you understand exactly what this means. So much of fishing is about circumstance. Right place, right time and then having the fish bite your line instead of someone's beside you. Also the factors that lead up to catching a particular fish can be a tangled web of fortune and misfortune, but somehow you end up where you are and then the fish bites. As such, let me tell you the story of one of the most unbelievable days of fishing in my life.
Inshore fishing has settled into a summertime pattern, which means while angling in the heat of the day isn't going to be your best bet, there are plenty of fish out there to be caught. A lot of bait is in the water now, and you can bet that many of these little critters are being gobbled up by something. A noticeable continuation in the speckled trout fishing and strong showings of some big pompano are the best things going, but other species are out there for the catching as well.
Linda Van Horn had a hole-in-one July 10 on hole No. 3 on the Lion's Paw Golf Course. She used a 9-iron from 100 yards to sink the shot. This is her third hole-in-one within a year. The first was on Lion's Paw No. 11 and the second on Panther's Run No. 2.

Hizb charter wants foreign militants to quit Afghanistan Tahir Khan

ISLAMABAD: Hizb-i-Islami Afghanistan (Hekmatyar group) Saturday issued a 14-point peace plan which suggested that all foreign militants should quit the war-ravaged country after the withdrawal of foreign troops. This is the first time Hizb-i-Islami has proposed withdrawal of foreign fighters from Afghanistan in its "National Charter of Salvation" issued in Pashto language, and a copy was also sent to The Frontier Post. "We commit in the name of Allah Almighty to extend hand of cooperation to save our homeland from the on-going painful condition and to permanently end war and to establish durable peace in Afghanistan," the declaration said. "We have agreed on the Charter to achieve objectives — to make Afghanistan free of foreign troops and external interference and to further strengthen national unity to pave the way for the nation to decide a system based on their belief". Following is the text of the proposals: 1): Foreign troops must start withdrawal in July this year and complete the process in six months. 2: They should quit main cities and populated area and move to military bases. 3): Security issues must be completely handed over to Afghan army and the police. Foreign troops will have no rights to carry out military operations, house search and arrests on their own anywhere in Afghanistan. 4): The parliament and the incumbent government will continue to function unless new elections are held and new government is formed. But those people should not be part of the government who are controversial and accused of corruption, war crimes and who have secular ideas. And those people should not be in top military leadership who support a group against other. 5: A 7-member National Security Council will be formed with the consensus of all Afghan factions which will have the power to take final decisions on key issues. The Council's center will be in a province where security will be completely under Afghan forces and there will be no foreign troops there. 6: After the withdrawal of foreign troops, elections for the office of the President, National Assembly and provincial assemblies will be held simultaneously on proportional representation basis in (Afghan year 1390 Spring). (March 2011) 7): Cabinet members and governors can only be allowed to take part in the elections who resign three months before the polls. 8): Every party will get representation in the first elected government in accordance with their seats in the parliament and they will secure trust vote from the parliament. And the largest group will not be bound to form coalition government. 9): That Group or Alliance will have the right to take part in coming election which will secure upto 10 per cent votes in the first election. 10): During this period there will be complete ceasefire among the warring factions, all political prisoners will be freed, all sides will make commitment that they will not fight against rival faction and they will not use illegal channels to grab power. 11): The first elected parliament will have the right to review the constitution and to take a final decision about the constitution. 12): No foreign country will have the right to establish their jails in Afghanistan. They will not arrest or put on trial any Afghan national and will not take any Afghan for trial outside of the country. 13): Those accused of war crimes, drug smuggling, corruption and plundering national wealth will be tried in Islamic courts. No side will defend them covertly or overtly. 14): Foreign fighters will not stay in Afghanistan after the withdrawal of foreign troops. 15): Any internal and external elements who are opposed to this agreement and insist on fighting, we all will jointly deal with the war mongers to save our homeland from their curse.

All these (edited)of elections mixed with nationalism and so and so.... Look at the point 14, DISGUSTING!!!
Hizb e Islam is just a nationalist group with the word Islam thrown at the end. Its sort of like CAIR with guns.
Welcome to reality, brother. It is a mutual feeling among the majority of Afghans to remove all foreign fighters in Afghanistan. We want our land and lives back.
Shame on you. To whom belongs the land? Not to Karzai and not to Hekmatyar. It belongs to Allah and all Muslims are supposed to do Hijrah and to move to the Islamic State when it is declared not to expel them and give them back to the taghut for torture.
sounds like another Bosnia in the making.Get the Arab mujahideen to fight and die for their cause then kick them out when they have outlived their usefulness.These Afghan natioanlists didnt have any qualms about the Arab and Pakistani fighters who spent millions in lives and blood to help kick the Russians out yet now they are crying "we want our land back" typical nationalist shite.
I guess the Ansar should have kicked the Muhajirs out because they were not of the same tribes or clans.
Al hamduliLlah there are still trustful brave men that no money, power or prestige will distract from the Command of Allah. Mullah Umar proved it once despite having mountain of pressure to deliver Sheikh Ibn Laden to the kuffars and murtaddin he still kept firm to his religion.
I'm not a refugee, and I do care. Have you thought about the possibility of me being able to do a higher level of good for Afghanistan than while living there?
Taghut? Uh - NO! You obviously missed my entire point. Afghans are simply tired of war. They just want to live their simple lives. They'd rather sleep under a broken roof than under bullets and bombs over their heads. My point was to let them figure out their Islamic state. IEA was doing just fine. They could've still been in power if it weren't for AQ inviting an enemy into our land.
Easy to put the blame on AQ. Who are you going to blame for the invasion in Iraq? AQ or not they would have come.
You can't help how Afghans feel. We have the right to feel this way about the foreign fighters as our land was turned into a battlefied when it was peaceful. IEA had control and we had security. AQ robbed us all. How do you expect the Afghans to feel?
I know that the oppressed Muslims all around the world are grateful that the Mujahideens came to take revenge and give the invaders bad time. These true Muslims will always be grateful towards the soldiers of Allah. AQ and the foreign fighters are just trying to fulfill their duty after all.
seems to me that hikmat yar also is lossing his way ah!.the fitnas of present times remember the hadeeth. one third of mujahideen of end times will run away and their tauba or repentence will never be accepted one third will die fighting and their deaths will be most high grade shahadat or martyrdom in front of allah and other one third will gain victory and these will establish islam in whole world and they will be best among humanity
and alqaeda actually was a blessing to afghanistan.secular afghans should not criticise arab mujahideen.only a low caste person criticises some one who sacrificed life for your freedom soviet union did not run away from afghanistan due to american help,it was blood of arab and pakistani mujahideen that helped afghan mujahideen secure that victory.i should know this as i as a child saw hikmat yaar and likes of him in pesahawer lahore etc taking assistance from arabs and pakistanis in jihad. if you people drive arab mujahideen away than allah will take away blessings from your nation too,your nation is getting victories against kufar only till you remain on islam, also those seculars who want arab mujahideen to leave afghanistan must have hate for taliban too because actual taliban commanded by mullah umer have nothing but love and admiration for arab mujahideen some cia sponsored people are trying to create enemity between arab mujahideen and taliban but as much as i know true taliban,their iman is too firm to be broken by some american stooges.inshalah so you people who dislike arab mujahideen must have liking for hamid kerzai like rulers who rule under american zionist patronage

I decided to fix up the Winchester 1895 I "found" in my collection. I couldnt bring myself to part out a historic gun that could be shootible. Its a shame, it looks like this coulda been a nice rifle before it was forgotten ... Theres only one spot on the side of the receiver where the bluing has major wear. Well I cleaned it up some and put it back together, I ran into a issue and a couple of missing parts. Its missing the mainspring and carrier spring, luckly out of the few replacement parts available these can be found. The rear sight is also missing, but im trying to find one of the same era of the gun. The magazine ( yes it has a mag, not a tube!) seems to move just a hair when you close the lever, but returns to the correct spot when you open it again. I dont think it suppose do this? I still have to take it to a gunsmith to have the barrel installed, but im figuring I can have this old gun fixed for under $300 including new stocks... Think its worth it? Does anybody know when this was made? I thought 1899, but am not sure.. The Sn# 214xx. Any help? The original thread is here... http://www.firearmstalk.com/forums/f18/when-clean-fix-gun-leave-alone-41542/

Congratulations on your decision. It never hurts to have a good gunsmith look at an old firearm.
One of John Browning's greatest designs...It was arguably the first LARGE CALIBER hunting rifles that had the repeat fire capability of the small caliber winchesters Restoring this would only help you. Best of luck.
Yes 1899 What caliber?
[/QUOTE]Wow this gun was designed by John Browning!!??[/QUOTE] I hope that wasn't sarcasm, but yea. John Browning in my opinion is one of the greatest firearms designers in history... his inventions include the winchester '86, '94 and '95, Colt 1911, Colt 1895 "Potato Digger," Winchester 1897, Browning Superposed, Browning 1918B.A.R., Browning 1919 .30, Browning M2 .50 and many many many more... He built his first gun when he was 13 or so in his dad's shop from scrap parts.
Glad you decided it to bring it back to life. Great rifle!
On my 1895 in 30-40 I have a Lyman Model 21 ladder aperture sight which I believe is correct for the era. Mine was built in 1926 and inherited from my father.

Van Persie returns to Gunners squad
Robin van Persie will return to Arsenal's squad for Wednesday night's north London derby against Tottenham at White Hart Lane (kick-off 8pm). The Dutch striker has been sidelined for five months after rupturing ankle ligaments on international duty. He returned to full training last week and was expected to be available for the club's final three matches against Manchester City, Blackburn and Fulham. But he is anxious to be involved in Arsenal's title run-in and Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger confirmed he would be involved against Tottenham, probably starting from the bench. Wenger said: "He will feature. He lacks a bit of match practice but when I pick a player it means he's fit and sharp. "There's always a gamble in such decisions but we have been a bit cautious in his case. "But Van Persie is a very important player at this club. He is important for the confidence." Sol Campbell will start in central defence with Alex Song still suffering from a knee injury. Arsenal (from): Almunia, Sagna, Vermaelen, Silvestre, Eboue, Campbell, Clichy, Denilson, Diaby, Walcott, Nasri, Rosicky, Eduardo, Bendtner, Van Persie, Fabianski, Traore, Merida, Eastmond.

Time to turn off the water
Those Detroit Lakes residents who have been running water to keep their pipes and service lines from freezing this winter can now shut off the water.
Residents are being asked to check the temperature of their water, and if it is at least 40 degrees, faucets can be turned off. As of Monday, the city will no longer give water credit for extra usage.

How a Pair of Swiftwick Socks Can Improve Your Athleticism
NEW YORK (TheStreet) - "If I had to choose one word to describe my Swiftwick socks, it would be unbelievable. I wear them day in and day out as well as for training and racing, and they don't break down. They stay put on my leg, even the tricky mid length 7". Wash after wash I keep expecting to find holes or tattered edges but no, these socks hold up! Forget about the lifetime warranty, I'm not sure I'll ever have to use it. Thanks Swiftwick!" - Trapper Steinle
Whether it's on Facebook (FB), through Twitter (TWTR) hashtags or even article comments like the one above, it's easy to see why Swiftwick socks is the performance sock of choice for serious and professional athletes.
The secret for this growing Brentwood, Tenn.-based manufacturer is first and foremost the quality of product that's creating a fanatical fan base. However, there's more to the story.
Not unlike other small-business success stories, Swiftwick has a passionate entrepreneur steering the company. Entrepreneur Mark Cleveland, CEO and co-founder of Elicit Brands, bought the Swiftwick brand and design rights in 2008.
The 25-employee company operates within a tight niche, with little interest in expanding into lower priced, mass-merchandised products that would distract the company from focusing on its target customer even if it did add to revenue. Swiftwick also knows that serious athletes like to shop in specialized stores as opposed to big-box retailers like Dick's Sporting Goods (DKS) or Sports Authority. The company is methodically expanding in the retail space to only those stores.
Swiftwick CEO Mark Cleveland is looking to change the sock industry with performance-specific socks. |

this will just keep going on and on until you get the last word in, right? OK, you win, Zack. You're the man, you have no problems with your attitude and you're right about everything. Why don't you just remove these boxes for us to comment on, since you can just post your ideas, and we'll all just agree and never question you, because you're perfect.
I merely suggested you guys get a room because you kept going at it. You guys both embarrassed yourselves with your public display of stupidity. And I made a joke about it. If you can't take it, then that's your problem, dude. Lighten up, takes some meds, and get off the roids. It's really effecting your sense of reality. Hahaha.
Alright…there are starving people in this world, wars, and a high unemployment rate. I don't need to waste time with children like Zack any more.
Have the last word, Zack, go ahead and tell me to f-off, or whatever you need to spit to feel like a man. I'm done with this site. It's really just stupid with all this bickering and childish b.s.

Google Gives Mojave Solar Project A Boost
Google has announced a $168 investment, its largest ever, to back Brightsource Energy's solar thermal project in California's Mojave desert. Alexis Madrigal, of The Atlantic, discusses the project's technology, the environmental battles it faced, and how to connect this remote field of mirrors to the grid.

IRA FLATOW, host:
Up next: alternative energy. Work has begun on the largest solar energy project in the world. And where is it? In California's Mojave Desert, right off the highway between Los Angeles and Las Vegas. And while the project has contracts with Southern California Edison and Pacific Gas and Electric and has received loan guarantees from the Department of Energy, one of the big investors is Google. That's right, Google.
Google has poured $168 million into the project, Google's biggest investment yet. And this isn't just a deal on paper. The company building the plant, BrightSource Energy, has passed the environmental hurdles, and they're already smoothing out the desert dirt. They're getting ready to stick those field of mirrors into the ground. In fact, you can see a photo of the plant's construction on our website, at sciencefriday.com.
What kinds of engineering challenges do they face? How soon before they get this up and running? How are they going to hook this up to the grid, being out there in the middle of the Mojave?
Alexis Madrigal is the author of author of "Powering the Dream: The History and Promise of Green Technology." He's also senior editor at The Atlantic in Washington.
Welcome to SCIENCE FRIDAY.
Mr. ALEXIS MADRIGAL (Senior Editor, The Atlantic; Author): Thank you, Ira.
FLATOW: So this is a go?
Mr. MADRIGAL: It is a go. Well, with these big power projects, it's sometimes difficult to tell exactly when it's actually a go. Construction was actually halted just a couple of days ago in some pieces of the plant. But BrightSource says it shouldn't affect the 2013 completion date.
FLATOW: So this must be a tremendous engineering challenge. It is...
Mr. MADRIGAL: Well, if you think about it, you're taking thousands of mirrors that are about seven feet high and about 10-and-a-half-feet wide. And you're arraying them around what they call a power tower, which as a boiler filled with water sitting at the top. And you concentrate the rays of the sun via all that field of mirrors onto the boiler, which generates superheated steam, which gets run to a turbine, which generates electricity.
FLATOW: And this - yeah. And this is a lot of electricity, right?
Mr. MADRIGAL: Yeah. I mean, we're talking - it's going to be about 370 megawatts in total. That's been changing a little bit as they've been refining the site's design. But it's going to go in three phases: an initial 120-megawatt plant, and then 225-megawatt plants.
FLATOW: Talking about solar energy this hour in SCIENCE FRIDAY, from NPR. I'm Ira Flatow. We're talking with Alexis Madrigal.
And there'll be more plants of this kind being built.
Mr. MADRIGAL: Yeah. I mean, others have already been approved. If you're thinking about the Mojave Desert specifically, I think about seven have been approved now, taking up about 40 or 45 square miles of the desert. And there are different technologies and different companies.
In fact, BrightSource, who had - who's building the plant we've been talking about, is the only company that's actually put in really large-scale facilities in the Mojave, previously in a kind of earlier incarnation of a company called Luz.
FLATOW: Mm-hmm. And why is Google - you don't think of Google investing in these sorts of things.
Mr. MADRIGAL: Well, you know, there's two reasons, I think. Google has displayed an actual ideological interest in combating climate change. In fact, in Google.org, their sort of nonprofit arm, they have a program called RE But this money is actually coming from Google, Inc. And I talked to an analyst who said, you know, Google is putting up project finance. They're just sort of saying, oh, you need money to build? We'll provide you the money to build, and are maybe expecting something like a six percent return on their investment. FLATOW: Could they do this in other places outside of the Mojave? Mr. MADRIGAL: Yeah, you could. I think the Mojave theme strikes many people as the best place to put solar farms, largely because you've got a big desert with great sun, and then you've got, you know, Southern California and Las Vegas right there. And so I think they are population centers that are not too far from where the sun is. And it also happens to track - if you think - the most valuable thing for utilities is if the electricity produced matches when they have the highest load on their systems. And so what happens in Los Angeles when it gets hot, people turn their air conditioners. The load goes up. And at the same time, out in the desert, the sun is pouring down most strongly. And so, as a result, you have a pretty good match between when the BrightSource plan is going to be working best, and when people in Los Angeles need the power. FLATOW: And how will they get all that power to the grid? Mr. MADRIGAL: So there are transmission lines out there right now. They're not exactly up to snuff. So what they've actually, as part of this plan, they're going to upgrade the power lines nearby to improve the efficiency of the transfer. And they're actually thinking about putting in another substation. But really, the interesting thing about this kind of power plant is it's a power plant, right? I mean, this is something that we know how to do. There's hundreds and hundreds of power plants that you could go to and say, hey, look, It's hooked up to the grid. And so it's actually a pretty similar process here. FLATOW: Mm-hmm. And who knows, with the price of oil going up and up and up, this seems to be more attractive. Mr. MADRIGAL: Well, and I think it's also about natural gas, too. FLATOW: Right. Mr. MADRIGAL: I think people have been pretty excited about natural gas because of this shale gas that people are finding, where you essentially - you've got gas locked up in these rock formations, and then you put water under pressure down there. It cracks the rocks apart, and the gas can escape. FLATOW: Fracking. Mr. MADRIGAL: Fracking. Exactly. The problem is that it's unclear what the carbon footprint of that - or the greenhouse gas footprint, we should say, of that process is going to be, because methane escapes. And it might not turn out to be that much better than coal, in which case I think it means we need to redouble our efforts on other low-carbon energy sources. FLATOW: And if you go to our website, you can actually see what - the beginnings of this project. It looks like a little - big crop circles there, the moment they dig out that space. Mr. MADRIGAL: Yeah. It's big, too. I mean, I think, you know, when we talk about this kind of scale plant, you know, five-and-a-half square miles when this thing's all done, it really feels big. And I went out and I visited, actually, the earlier solar electric generating stations. Mr. MADRIGAL: And actually, once you get out into the Mojave, it doesn't feel as big, at least to me. And I think part of it is, you know, the Mojave, as a whole, is 25,000 square miles. FLATOW: All right. Alexis, thank you for taking time to be with us. Mr. MADRIGAL: Absolutely. Thank you. FLATOW: Alexis Madrigal, author of "Powering the Dream." We're going to take a break. We'll be right back and talk about Alzheimer's. So stay with us. Copyright © 2011 NPR. All rights reserved.

The enumeration of persons with special needs, particularly children with special needs (CWSN) aged between 3 and 18, began here on Tuesday.
The Department of Public Instruction has taken up the two-day exercise under the Sarva Shiksha Abhiyan with the support of anganwadi workers and assistants, as well as accredited social health activists (ASHAs).
Different approach
This enumeration is different from what the department does every year. Under the Suvarna Arogya Chaitanya programme, the department identified children with special needs at primary, higher primary and high schools, and extended benefits to them. Now, it is visiting the houses of CWSN.
This is being done to prepare an action plan and take up infrastructure development in schools.
Deputy Director of Public Instruction Nagendra Kumar toldThe Hinduthat the door-to-door enumeration was aimed at preparing a complete data of persons with disabilities for chalking out various programmes.
More than 6,000 enumerators, including teachers, were on the job, Mr. Kumar said. Data would be compiled in a week's time and sent to the State project office of Sarva Shiksha Abhiyan.
Sarva Shiksha Abhiyan has adopted a "zero rejection policy" so as to provide quality education to children with special needs. It says children with special needs should not be deprived of the right to education; they should be taught in a school environment so that they can learn better.
Keywords: Sarva Shiksha Abhiyan

Business finance success starts here, Welcome!
Congratulations on locating the No. 1 source of 'Investor Focused' business plans and due diligence analysis.
You're probably here because you're an entrepreneur with the vision, energy and skills to make a great business work. People like you are the ones making a new and better future for all. It's small and medium enterprises that are making a recovery possible, because entrepreneurs like you are innovative and creative enough to make a new future possible. It is my passion to help you to achieve your business goals.
Let me tell you why I have such a passion for this…I'm now over 60 and I was born into a family business. I know how hard it can be, I've lived it with my parents. I have been a senior Financing Consultant for the past 12 years. I have been watching a heart-breaking trail of entrepreneurs like you being completely unprepared for securing the $$$ they needed to make their businesses work. Hundreds of times I have read business plans that fail to address the needs of the most important guy in the room – the Investor. He's the one with the money. You need to win his head and heart before he's going to let you use his money. All to often the writers of business plans are unaware of investor's needs. This creates heartbreak and despair for good people like you, and endless work for Financing Consultants like me, as they try to repair the damage that an inadequate business plan can do.
So you are smart enough to know that you need professional expertise – but the big accounting corporations charge US$25,000 or more. Not only can't you afford these outrageous prices – if you could, you wouldn't! You don't want to pay for their fancy fish tanks and Lear jets.
GPC is standing-up against the big corporations. We're going to rip away the veil of secrecy from the way they treat hard-working people like you.
Come into our website and look at all the FREE information that will help you prepare your life-changing business. You will see that we're leaking high quality 'insider' knowledge to help entrepreneurs like you. I'll be a maverick in this industry, if it helps you to win against the big guys. I don't care if they don't like it, I'm going to do it anyway.
Use our resources to build and develop your great business. If you don't to take the risk yourself, GPC can help for a fraction of the cost of the Big 4. And, if you already have a business plan that is OK, I can check it against the investor's due diligence standard. Either way you only have to make a small investment towards your financial security.
For me, this is personal between us…
David Reynolds

How to tell when meat or poultry is "off"
Learn how to sharpen your chainsaw properly with a file and guide
There's more reason than ever to be prepared for natural disasters, no matter where you live!
Try these six tips to prevent chickens from eating their eggs.
Barbed Wire Safety
"Stringing a barbed wire fence is hard work," writes Jackie Ivey, a MOTHER-reader from Bebe, Texas (a state that can boast more than a few miles of "bob wahr"). But the only part of the job that really bothered Jackie and David (the other half of the Ivey fencing team) was unrolling the spools of prickly wire. Consequently, they put on their thinking caps and came up with a way to unspool the material without having to handle it.
According to Jackie, "The fastest and easiest way we've found to unroll barbed wire is with the aid of a homebuilt 'fence reel.' Such a reel can be made from the handle of just about any type of discarded lawn mower. Simply cut a piece of metal pipe a little longer than the width between the forks of the handle, then slip the pipe through the forks, with the spool of wire riding on the pipe in between. To keep the pipe in place, you can either thread the ends for nuts, or drill small holes for cotter pins.
"With this rig, the spool of wire serves as a wheel (albeit a somewhat wobbly one), allowing you either to push or pull your fence reel along the ground between posts."
Stop Chicken Pecking
Garnett, Kan., reader Ralph Adams writes that he noticed previous Country Lore hints in MOTHER EARTH NEWS for keeping chickens from pecking at each other and was reminded of a similar situation he encountered while employed by the Ohio Division of Wildlife.
"The state was raising pheasants in close quarters, and the birds took up the harmful habit of pecking at each others' eyes. After experimenting with different techniques, the pecking problem was finally corrected by placing marbles in the pheasants' feed. The reflection of the glass balls caught their attention, and from then on the beautiful birds pecked at the marbles instead of at their roommates' eyes. I can't see any reason why this trick wouldn't work equally well with chickens."
Preparing for Emergencies
Clinton Cottrell, a paramedic based in Pittsburgh, Pa., has a life-or-death message for those of us who live in outlying areas:
"As a paramedic working in a rural area, I've noticed that people who live a long way from the nearest medical help go to great lengths to protect themselves and their loved ones. They stock up on emergency medical supplies, take CPR (cardiopulmonary resuscitation) courses, memorize emergency-aid numbers and volunteer for local ambulance and fire departments.But too many of these rural folk seem to overlook one of the most important preparations of all: If the emergency personnel can't find your home, they can't help you. No matter how carefully you relay directions, they'll have a heck of a time finding your home if your address isn't clearly displayed on the road in front of your home.
"Here's how to remedy this dangerous oversight: If you have a curb, paint one of the blocks white from top to bottom, making sure it's wide enough to accept your address without your having to use letters that are too small to read from a distance. Now purchase a stencil at the dime store (or cut out your own), and paint your address over the white block, using black paint to make letters at least 3 inches high and 2 inches wide. If you don't have a curb, use the same technique to mark your address (or name, or some other clear identifier) on both sides of your mailbox.
"This way, when trouble strikes and you're unable to meet the emergency personnel at the street, there's no chance they'll be dangerously delayed while trying to locate your home."
For Shade-Tree Mechanics
"If you need to install a new timing chain and gear in your car or truck and can't get the nut off the crankshaft because the engine keeps turning over, here's a hint to get you back on the road again: Place a socket with a long, heavy breaker-bar handle on the crankshaft nut, positioning the handle just above the floor or ground. Now climb in and hit the starter once or twice, and it will spin the nut right off for you."
That toolbox lore comes to us from Potter, Wis., mechanic Otto Maas ... and we'd add a caution: Make sure nobody is nearby before you hit that starter switch!
MOTHER EARTH NEWS is the guide to living — as one reader stated — "with little money and abundant happiness." Every issue is an invaluable guide to leading a more sustainable life, covering ideas from fighting rising energy costs and protecting the environment to avoiding unnecessary spending on processed food.

V3 - just added - is much better lighting wise, I think, although less men drooling!! Comments please!

Definitely agree 3 is the better colour. The tones are more even and the red much better than in 1 (pity they don't do landrovers in it ).
Like the detail in V1 although I think I would have rotated the shot so the alfa romeo on the hub cap was the right way round.
It's a bloke thing

Savvis To Expand North American Footprint With 2014 Data Center Launch In Minneapolis-St. Paul Area
ST. LOUIS, Oct. 1, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Savvis, a CenturyLink company (NYSE: CTL) and global leader in cloud infrastructure and hosted IT solutions for businesses, today announced plans to open a new data center in the Minneapolis-St. Paul area in spring 2014.
(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20111122/CG10879LOGO)
The Savvis MP2 data center is designed to serve the region's growing demand for colocation, cloud, managed hosting and network services. Built to support 4.8 megawatts of IT load on 100,000 square feet of raised floor space, it will open with an initial 1.2 megawatts and 13,000 square feet of raised floor space.
" The Twin Cities area has long served as a hub of activity to retailers, consumer brands, healthcare and media companies – all of which need more convenient and secure ways to access, maintain and manage their rapidly expanding data," said Jeff Von Deylen, president, Savvis. "Our investment in the MP2 data center signifies our strong commitment to providing businesses in the Minneapolis-St. Paul region with access to world-class colocation, cloud and managed-hosting services."
MN2 will serve as the Minneapolis area's first multitenant Tier III data center to receive certification from both the Uptime Institute and the U.S. Green Building Institute's Leadership in Energy & Environmental Design. "We are investing in technology infrastructure that allows our diverse business community to continue to grow and innovate," said Duane Ring, CenturyLink Midwest region president. "We're pleased to announce the first phase of development for this new data center and look forward to the opportunities this creates for businesses in the Twin Cities and around the world." Compass Datacenters will develop the data center on 10 acres of property it owns in Shakopee, Minn., a Minneapolis suburb, and lease the facility to Savvis. "We are excited to partner with CenturyLink's Savvis organization, which combines a global leadership position in data center excellence with a deep understanding of Minnesota market needs through the existing local CenturyLink presence," said Chris Crosby, chief executive officer of Compass Datacenters. "Working with Savvis to quickly facilitate expansion in the Minneapolis-St. Paul market, we've developed a streamlined strategy for future expansion and response to the growing demands of businesses in the region." MP2, which joins Savvis' existing data center in the Minneapolis-St. Paul region, will enable businesses to deploy hybrid cloud solutions that leverage network, colocation, managed hosting and managed services. Clients will have free access to Savvis ClientConnect, an online gateway for businesses to expand their capabilities by locating, connecting and sharing services with other businesses residing across Savvis' global data center footprint. "As we expand our data center footprint around the world, we understand the urgency in the Twin Cities area for flexible and reliable IT solutions," said David Meredith, senior vice president and general manager, Savvis. "Working with Compass, we've set a competitive timeline for delivering carrier diversity, interconnectivity and cloud services at pace with market demands."

Narrated by Lauryn Hill, Concerning Violence (dir. Goran Hugo Olsson) is a filmic meditation on colonialism and anti-imperial struggles in Africa, seen through the lens of Frantz Fanon's The Wretched of the Earth.
Feeling underwhelmed by your orthodox assigned readings? Expand your knowledge of left theory, give your political arguments some bite, and spark a love for revolutionary writers with this updated list of essential Verso books for undergraduates.
Whether you're a student of history, sociology, political science, or geography, look no further for key radical texts and indispensable primers on today's top thinkers.
The list is divided into Politics, Philosophy, Feminism, Postcolonial Studies, History and Geography - see below for our recommended reading in these areas.
All of these books will be discounted by 50%, with free shipping and bundled ebook, when you buy through our website until midnight on Tuesday September 16th! Not all books are available in all regions (apologies!) and - of course - only whilst stocks last.
Out in the UK this month, Quentin Tarantino's Django Unchained and Steven Speilberg's Lincoln has energized interest in a period of American history defined by race. Rather than make our own critiques or slap downs, we present these books to fill the gaps left by Hollywood.
Hugo Chávez (waving a replica of 19th century revolutionary Símon Bolívar's sword) has once again triumphed over the bastions of neoliberal capitalism. After 14 years in power, he won 55% of the vote on a record 81% turnout, proving to the World Bank, the IMF, Barclays, and the United Statess (among others) that the people want socialism, not corporate imperialism. As Seamus Milne notes in the Guardian, despite the fact that Chávez's opponent Henrique Capriles was backed by the US (whose antagonism toward his government is well-known and most noteably manifested itself in a failed coup in 2002) and outspent him three to one using virtually all of the private media to his advantage, it was a decisive victory. Only two states, in which most all of the wealthy & bourgeois reside, went to Capriles. The other twenty-one went to Chávez. Milne celebrates the importance of this victory,
Venezuela and its Latin American allies have demonstrated that it's no longer necessary to accept a failed economic model, as many social democrats in Europe still do. They have shown it's possible to be both genuinely progressive and popular. Cynicism and media-fuelled ignorance have prevented many who would naturally identify with Latin America's transformation from recognising its significance. But Chávez's re-election has now ensured that the process will continue – and that the space for 21st-century alternatives will grow.
Anti-colonialist thinker, writer and revolutionary Frantz Fanon died fifty years ago today, on December 6, 1961
To mark the anniversary, here's an extract from Jean-Paul Sartre's preface to The Wretched of the Earth, published in Fanon's final year:
Not so very long ago, the earth numbered two thousand million inhabitants: five hundred million men, and one thousand five hundred million natives. The former had the Word; the others had the use of it. Between the two there were hired kinglets, overlords and a bourgeoisie, sham from beginning to end, which served as go-betweens. In the colonies the truth stood naked, but the citizens of the mother country preferred it with clothes on: the native had to love them, something in the way mothers are loved. The European élite undertook to manufacture a native élite. They picked out promising adolescents; they branded them, as with a red-hot iron, with the principles of western culture, they stuffed their mouths full with high-sounding phrases, grand glutinous words that stuck to the teeth. After a short stay in the mother country they were sent home, whitewashed. These walking lies had nothing left to say to their brothers; they only echoed. From Paris, from London, from Amsterdam we would utter the words 'Parthenon! Brotherhood!' and somewhere in Africa or Asia lips would open ... thenon! ... therhood!' It was the golden age.
It came to an end; the mouths opened by themselves; the yellow and black voices still spoke of our humanism but only to reproach us with our inhumanity. We listened without displeasure to these polite statements of resentment, at first with proud amazement. What? They are able to talk by themselves? Just look at what we have made of them! We did not doubt but that they would accept our ideals, since they accused us of not being faithful to them. Then, indeed, Europe could believe in her mission; she had hellenized the Asians; she had created a new breed, the Graeco-Latin Negroes. We might add, quite between ourselves, as men of the world: 'After all, let them bawl their heads off, it relieves their feelings; dogs that bark don't bite.'
