For consumers (and some very enthusiastic vendors), this time of year elicits shrikes of excitement and sheer joy as people line up to see which vendor has the early asparagus, rhubarb, or coveted dry beans preserved from fall harvest.
Are you raising poultry and wondering what rules apply to you?
"What should I be pricing my melons at?" Take a step back and incorporate price into your marketing plan.
It is easy to let weeds go in the rush of spring planting. Try not to forget that a little time spent managing weeds now can save you huge amounts of time later.
It is critical to manage fruit diseases before you have them. Whether organic or not management is usually protective, not curative.
It's been all too common that an older generation of farmers pondering: "Who will take over after I retire?" has been left without an answer. Yet there is a significant younger generation asking: "How can I get started?"
FSA recently launched their new micro-loan program. If you are a new farmer who needs a loan of less than $35,000 the micro-loan program might be a good fit.
As you are about to shear your sheep this spring I thought you might want to review our sheep shearing videos. Mike Fournier, Penn State Extension demonstrates the six shearing positions as well as tool maintenance.
Right now, livestock farmers are in a difficult position. Feed prices have skyrocketed and it can be difficult to pass that entire increase on to our customers without having very expensive chicken that might be out of the range of most of our customers. We might need to raise our prices to help recoup some of the cost but we also need to find areas where we can improve efficiencies, cut costs, and know where our greatest expenses lie.
Are you interested in or currently farming in a city? Do you wonder how to access land, how to reclaim a contaminated site, how to maximize use of a small growing space, or how to most successfully target your urban market?
One question prospective beekeepers have is: "Where will I get the bees?" There are four possibilities. Package bees, nucs, swarms and established colonies.
Join us for Introduction to Vegetable Production, a course for people planning to make the leap from vegetable gardening to production for profit and beginning vegetable producers who are ready to refine their techniques in order to optimize their production and profit. Penn State Extension is offering this course in Eastern and Western PA.
Spring is in the air. "What?" you say, "It is the coldest day of the year." Well that may be true but as farmers I am sure you are all busy thinking about spring already.
If you have not done it yet, now is the time to finish up your crop plan for next year. Soon it will be time to start seedlings and the whirlwind will begin. At a recent CSA day organized by Lehigh County Extension's Brian Moyer, I shared some tips for crop planning. What follows is a teaser, just the first few steps of the crop planning procedure I put together based on the great crop planning information Josh Volk from Slow Hand Farm recently shared with us. For the full procedure and example spreadsheets click the links below.
USDA Finalizes New Microloan Program Microloans up to $35,000 aim to assist small farmers, veterans, and disadvantaged producers
It seems that we are experiencing more unusually warm periods during mid- and late-winter, so trees may be more susceptible than in the past to moderately low winter temperatures. Lessons from years in which there was a sudden drop in temperature indicate that trees most injured were those that lacked adequate vigor, those that were too vigorous, and those that had been pruned before the cold event.
On January 4, 2013, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) released a draft Produce Safety Rule as required under the Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA) of 2011. This proposed regulation would establish mandatory practices that farmers must take to prevent microbial contamination of fresh produce. Below are highlights of requirements FDA would issue in the final regulation.
As effective marketers we are comfortable with the practice of being at our best when we produce and market what the customer actually wants. Unfortunately, these wants are a dynamic mix that is influenced by many factors. Trying to get a handle on shifting of our many customers' needs can be a challenge.
With five times as many farmers over 55 than under 35 and more than a thousand farmers planning to retire in Pennsylvania in the next ten years; we need new farmers to feed the world local food. In 2009 Penn State Extension launched the Start Farming Program, responding to the need for new farmers and an overwhelming interest in farm start-up from community members. After three years, thirteen hundred participants in fifty three Penn State Extension Start Farming programs have learned tools for success.
There is an affordable way to guarantee income flow from your farm operation. The key is to be certain your farm has a recognized record keeping system in place. Historical farm performance is the basis for your guarantee.

Jazz of Birmingham
Early jazz[edit]
Jazz has been popular in Birmingham since the 1920s,[1] an era when interest in the music within England was otherwise largely confined to London.[2] The Birmingham Palais was one of the pioneering venues of British jazz and opened in Ladywood in 1920,[3] hosting early touring bands from the United States such as the Frisco Jazz Band in 1920,[3] Benny Peyton's Jazz Kings in 1921,[3] the Paramount Six[3] and the Southern Rag-a-Jazz Orchestra in 1922,[4] and Bill Shenkman's Buffalo Orchestra in 1923.[5] The Palais also maintained its own resident bands that combined notable visiting American musicians such as Sidney Bechet[3] and Emile Christian[3] with emerging local musicians who would go on to establish the native British jazz tradition, such as Bill Harty,[6] Billy Jones,[7] Jack Raine,[8] and Jack Payne.[4]
Postwar jazz[edit]
Jazz was still largely unknown in other cities outside London when it was revived in Birmingham in the late 1940s.[9] A highly successful series of jazz concerts were held at Birmingham Town Hall from 1946, and the city's jazz clubs re-emerged with the opening of the Rhythm Club and the Hot Club in 1948.[10]
From the late 1980s the saxophonist Julian Argüelles and his brother drummer Steve Argüelles were major players in contemporary European jazz.[11]
Contemporary jazz[edit]
The Harmonic Festival, the Mostly Jazz Festival and the annual International Jazz Festival run alongside the year-round contemporary programme presented by promoters and development agency Birmingham Jazz, directed by Tony Dudley-Evans. The musician-led Cobweb Collective also present regular jazz sessions in several venues around the city. Many other venues support the jazz scene in the city, often promoted by Birmingham Jazz. Jazz musicians associated with the city include Andy Hamilton, Soweto Kinch, Ronnie Ball, Tony Kinsey, Douglas "Dougle" Robinson[12] and King Pleasure and the Biscuit Boys.[13]
The busiest promoter of contemporary jazz in the city is the voluntary organisation Birmingham Jazz, which mounts dozens of concerts every year featuring local, national and international artists in venues such as the CBSO Centre, the mac arts centre, the Glee Club and Symphony Hall. It enjoys the support of the city council and the Arts Council of England and also commissions new works from both local performers and performers of international standing.

Apple, always thinking of us up north… no movies, limited music videos, no free game preview
Posted by LC Angell on January 30, 2007 at 12:58 PM (CST)
Screen too small for the Nano? Maybe it's just me with my super-duper vision, but no, I don't think the screen is too small for the current set of games. Sure, I would'nt want to play WoW on it for three hours, the same as I would'nt want to watch the director's cut of LOTR, but twenty minutes of Vortex (or video of any kind for that matter) would be just fine.
Posted by LC Angell on January 30, 2007 at 1:20 PM (CST)
The nano can't play video because it doesn't have the video decode chip in it that would make it possible to watch compressed videos, you'd have to watch uncompressed videos, which take up a lot more space, and would cut down drastically on the amount of music a nano could hold.

Well now the error is "this item is not available for purchase in the U.S. store". WTF? :(
Posted by LC Angell on January 30, 2007 at 5:21 PM (CST)
Yup, I know it has'nt got the decode chip. I'm just say'n that I, for one, would mind using a screen that small for viewing game play or video (I know I probably only represent a small portion of people on that).
Of course, it's a moot point as I'm sure the next update to the Nano will have a larger, touch screen (and a decode chip)....or so I wish.
Yeah, if wishes were fishes…I'ld…uh…have a whole lot of fish..

You purchased a nano knowing full well that it is not capable of video, and now you're complaining that it can't play video. "Why doesn't Apple think of us with the Nanos?" Cough up a few extra bucks and buy an ipod that supports video. Would that be so hard?

DEFINITION of 'Payment Shock'
The risk that a loan's scheduled future periodic payments may increase substantially. Payment shock can be the result of several things, including the expiration of an initial or temporary start interest rate (sometimes known as a teaser rate), the end of a fixed-interest rate period, the end of an interest-only payment period, an increase in an adjustable-rate mortgage's fully indexed interest rate or the recasting of a payment option ARM.
INVESTOPEDIA EXPLAINS 'Payment Shock'
Many popular mortgage products, such as payment option ARMs, carry a great deal of payment-shock risk. Consumers are drawn to these mortgages because of the relatively low initial monthly payments they offer. All financial decisions, including the choice of a mortgage, should be made by carefully considering the risk versus the reward. Risks must be identified and measured through insightful analysis. When risks, such as payment shock, are recognized and measured, they can be managed or avoided.

Hey Riot,
I've been wondering, are you guys ever going to bring back the old 3v3 map? This map was made on the halloween patch and was specifically made for Elise. I'm getting pretty sick of the map now. So can you please bring back the old 3v3 map
Silence Exiled
I know this is the best way to make everyone happy and feel like we are as old as our grandparents Good work for making this post and making me and the whole community of the League feel like we need THE OLD TWISTED TREELINE!! GOOOOOOOOOOOOO JUNIOR MEMBER GOO!!!!!!
Senior Member
I also liked old map a lot. I loved big jungle, look, ...
Capt Chronic420
Maps where half the champions aren't viable are cool.
After the thousands of post about bringing back the old TT getting ignored and riot even stating they do not want to bring it back, something makes me think it is not going to happen.
The old map had alot more problems then people seem to remember. I like both the old Twisted Treelines and the new one but if the old one never returns I won't feel to bad about it.
Twisted Treelines is getting patched a bit more though and they have stated that there are going to be nerfs to champions to balance them around them around Dominion and Twisted Treelines with the nerfs/buffs only affecting them on the map they were nerfed on.
Example Singed is pretty balanced for 5s at the moment but in 3s he is just unkillable unless you pick champions to specifically counter him. Lets say they nerf his poison and ult for TT, those nerfs would not be active on 5s.

Comments about Burton Cartel Snowboard Bindings 2015:
Get these if you are into comfortable bindings! These feel great and the control it give you over your board is spectacular. Also, landing jumps with these are great. On the stiffer side if you are looking for more board control.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Great!! we deserve this after a final in GC and the 4rs in AO.. after the new GS of Serena.. she and we deserved a new tittle and those revenges...
THANK YOU MARTI.. JUST CAUSE you're BACK.. all this tittles are just a plus from a natural CHAMP...
Feb 4th, 2007, 04:27 AM
Congrats Martina. :bigclap: Better luck to Ana next time. :hug:
Feb 4th, 2007, 04:27 AM
I think Ivanovic was nervous going into this match bec she knew that Martina will be looking for revenge...
Nice try for ana though...
Martina is just amazing :)
Feb 4th, 2007, 04:27 AM
Ana missed a lot but thats not unusual. Marti got nicely aggressive on the key points which is promising.
Feb 4th, 2007, 04:27 AM
congrats martina :yeah: 5th TPPO Title :D now the most prolific player in the event's history :worship:
ana :sad: i wanted you to win this but you still had a great week though & i hope you can keep on improving from there!
Feb 4th, 2007, 04:28 AM
it was a revange week for Martina!Congrats!!

Congratulations CHUCKY!!!!
Feb 4th, 2007, 04:29 AM
well wins like this only *enhances* a great resume such as one Martina has.
but if you ask her, I'm sure she would've wanted to have this "agressive" 'tude 2 week ago in Melbourne.
but nonetheless, she'll take it and this must even must feel like home to her now. She OWNS Tokyo that gritty Martina Hingis :)
Feb 4th, 2007, 04:30 AM
Fantastic week Martina!!!!
Another record, another Tier 1, and another Beautiful Trophy!!! :hearts:
You must be thrilled! :wavey:
Feb 4th, 2007, 04:30 AM
Congrats Martina!!!! Her first serve was particularly impressive today.
Feb 4th, 2007, 04:30 AM
Yeah I wasn't sure, either, but she did it and it's great that she has avenged two loses :D
I know, it's sweet. Wicked sweet. Now I wished I had taped it. Oh well? Maybe they'l re-air it like they always do. I mean I taped the final last year but I was not up to the task of recording another loss for Hingis. Now it feels nicer to see her get closer to 20million in career earnings and closer to title #50. :lol:
Feb 4th, 2007, 04:31 AM

Congrats, Hingy! :hatoff:
Two of the surviving stars of the late 90's have started well this year. Serena is back with vengeance and Hingis is taking advantage of any opportunity she gets. We're now waiting for Venus to return and make it clear that these three are still every bit the stars we've known them to be.
Feb 4th, 2007, 04:40 AM
Now Lindsay is second (holds 4 pan pacific titles), and Martina all-time record for this tourney, 5 wins, and 8 finals!
Feb 4th, 2007, 04:41 AM
legends are legends cause of that... and Marti and the Williams are already legends ...
Feb 4th, 2007, 04:44 AM
Martina has reached 8 out of 11 years the finals of Tokyo. She won 5 of those times.
If you really want to be fair, subtract 3 for the 3 years she missed so that means when Martina, in the last decade, steps foot in Tokyo she has reached the finals all the time. She loves this event. It's her Melbourne consolation prize.
...and similar to the Henin myth that she can only play on clay, Hingis actually LOVES fast courts!
Feb 4th, 2007, 04:47 AM
Congrats Martina and it was well done you didn't give her any room at all! :P good fighting back! I am very proud!
Feb 4th, 2007, 04:49 AM
This brings Martina up to #3 in the Race to the Championships, behind Serena and Masha!!! :worship:

Bad luck Ana :sad: it could be your second Tier I (ever :p )
Feb 4th, 2007, 04:58 AM
I guess Martina was on a mission! Nicely done.:yeah: Ana...:hug: there's always next time!
Feb 4th, 2007, 08:10 AM
looking forward to next titles,I hope you'll cross the line of 50 titles!
Feb 4th, 2007, 08:16 AM
Glad to see Hingis winning again 2007 could be a great year. I think people can be too hard and critisce her a lot. People should remember she has returned to No.6 in the world after missing 3 YEARS!!!!! That is a lifetime in sport, Go Martina!
Feb 4th, 2007, 08:53 AM
43, is that all?
Feb 4th, 2007, 09:09 AM
#43 makes me think of a certain George... George W. ... :tape: ;)
(son of #41)
Feb 4th, 2007, 09:16 AM
And to think she won the title without dropping a set, and people were predicting she'd lose the QF.....
and it's also poetic that in the last two matches she beat players who she lost tier 1 finals to last year....must be a very sweet victory for La Hingis...
Well done Martina, enjoy the feeling......!
Feb 4th, 2007, 09:21 AM
43, is that all?
it's only number of singles titles,plus 36 in doubles and more to come I hope.
I want Raymond to retire and Stosur to play Martina in doubles.
Leopold Stotch
Feb 4th, 2007, 09:25 AM
Too bad Ana couldn't quite sustain the high level after an ok first set.

yes must feel so good for her now. She will have such a sushi fest tonight for dinner, maybe she should invite dementieva she loves sushis! and her mom too! haha
Feb 4th, 2007, 12:12 PM
:bounce: Well done Martina. A record number of singles titles (five) for any player at Tokyo!
But Ana :sad:. Losing all those games in a row... not the best match from her.
Feb 4th, 2007, 12:18 PM
Yay Martina! :bounce: :worship:
Feb 4th, 2007, 01:18 PM
well done Matina:bounce: Now take some rest before Dubai and Doha were you will kick some ass!!!:devil:
If you keep up like that another slam will be possible!
Feb 4th, 2007, 01:57 PM
Definitly Ivanovic has amazing shots but she had those shots 2 years ago... Maybe on a really good day she will play and give no chance to her opponent but that is not the right direction to go. Obviously she has to play an agressive game, because she´s slow, but that doesn´t mean she has to play full power shots every time and no use her brains...
Martian KC
Feb 4th, 2007, 03:23 PM
Amazing week Martina! Those wins looked very convincing.
Feb 4th, 2007, 03:25 PM
People should remember she has returned to No.6 in the world after missing 3 YEARS!!!!!
Actually, it was 3 1/2 years, which is even more impressive. And how much better for us, to have a mature, non-whiny, non-offensive Hingis come back, all grown up and still kicking ass.
Feb 4th, 2007, 04:03 PM
Congrats to Hingis, she played great today :)
Feb 4th, 2007, 04:20 PM
Well Done Martina:)
Vlad Tepes
Feb 4th, 2007, 04:44 PM
Great win for Martina :bounce:
Feb 4th, 2007, 04:54 PM
WAY TO GO MARTINA!!!! Revenge taken all week long LOL!! Everyone knows about her prowess on a slow court (clay, rebound ace), but I think that Martina is excellent on fast courts as well--- maybe better than on clay. She takes the ball so early that she is able to use the power hitters pace against them and then when she mixes in some angles, net play, and droppers.... she wins easily! Martina will be top 5 very soon! She has a real shot of being top 3 as well. Her confidence just keeps building and building.... we might get some Williams-Hingis finals in slams again!!! How awesome would that be!!
suffer well
Feb 4th, 2007, 04:54 PM
She's (Martina) a player I never tire watching. Yeah she's good eye candy but her shot making and court coverage I find thrilling. With Ana Im always under the notion she just doesn't know which way she's headed.
Feb 4th, 2007, 05:00 PM
With the results of the AO and now Tokyo, the calendar seems to have rolled back about four or five years. :)
Kind of funny. :lol:
Feb 4th, 2007, 11:01 PM
Thats an awesome effort.. and especially given that so many people said that she would be unable to compete upon her return her last year.. 3 singles titles later (2 tier 1's), 1 mixed doubles grandslam and no.6 in the world later id say shes proved them wrong..
Martian Stacey
Feb 4th, 2007, 11:20 PM
Congrats Martina, so happy she got revenge on Elena and Ana ;) :bounce:
Feb 4th, 2007, 11:52 PM
Congrats Martina :)
Im just happy she beat Ivanovic
Dawn Marie
Feb 4th, 2007, 11:56 PM
Great win. Her confidence should soar! She took Henin to 3 last year and Kim to 3 in a slam and now she beats Elena and Ana.
Waiting on a Serena/Hingis match. :-)

Select a nice red cabbage, discard the outer leaves and soak for a short time in cold water.
Drain, and slice in thin shreds.
Melt the fat in a saucepan, add the jelly and the cabbage, the water, salt and pepper.
Cook very slowly until tender.
At the same time, boil some French chestnuts; take off the skin and add them to the cabbage.

How do you feel about dissection in classrooms? Do you think children should be given an alternative to dissection?
Yes, I think the children should be given a choice. I've been a homeschool mom for 15 years and we only dissected owl pellets (the undigestible parts of his food that an owl regurgitates). We were able to assemble a small rodent skeleton from each pellet. You can also do virtual dissections now.
Here is a link that might be useful: Virtual dissection
I stayed home from school that day and honestly can't think of any instance where what I may have learned from it had I gone would have been useful. However I can see where it would be for someone planning on going into research or the medical field.
Do you mean that YOU open up your animals and do autopsies on them?? And dissecting an animal in grade school prepared you to do this? The thought of dissecting my own pet is just disgusting and seems unethical. To each his own though.
Anyway, I agree with Meghane. In vet school, dissection is very important.
We were in 10th grade before we ever did disections.
Sure I open them and try to see why they died, not averything of course, but how else can you tell sometimes. Some I have taken to a vet friend for help. Better than losing a entire flock of chickens with a value of from 20 300 $$$ each. Ive done rabbits & sheep too but no dogs or horses!.
The whole purpose of school is to give students the advantage of exposure to as many different things as possible. Dissecting is only one---wood or metal shop---cooking---sewing----computers----art----they are just somer areas students need to experience.
That helps give them information about what they like or not, what areas in which they have ability, and things they will need for further training.
Well gabro, maybe you dont know much, maybe you dont want to know much, maybe you dont care?/ I do care, i learn by doing . There is a lot to know when you open an anumal up. look at the kidneys, the liver, the heart. See the color of the fat, is there too much fat around the heart?/ I am an animal breeder, I have goals to make the very best matings possible, I breed close, a lot of inbreeding. I select for many traits including vigor and resistance to disease. Phenotype casn demonstrate the out side of an animal, genotype can be assumed but not seen for some traits.Sometimes there is no visible sign of an ailment, so, what would you do? never mind, I already know the answer.
Of course I want to know things, but I won't DISSECT my pets to quench my thirst for knowledge. If you really want to know about the cause of death, take the animal to a vet. I cannot believe you are talking about looking at the kidneys, liver, and heart - that is SICK...unless you are a veterinary student.
You don't seem like a very knowledgable or responsible breeder to me. You just admitted that you "breed close" and there is "a lot of inbreeding". Are you proud of that?? You should not be a breeder. Period.
What would I do?? Yes, you already know the answer. I would take the animal to someone who is certified and able to efficiently do an autopsy. I would not do it myself! If you have a sick and twisted desire to cut your pets open and look at their organs, go right ahead. But I'm sure you don't know a thing about what you are looking at, nor can you determine the cause of death. Are you going to tell me that you actually learned how to determine cause of death in your 10th grade biology class...just from dissecting a frog or a pig?
I am sickened by what you are admitting.
I guess you *think* you know how old I am? Or are you just assuming I'm a "kid" because I'm just so lacking in intelligence? I think it's the other way around, my friend. And I happen to be in my mid 30's, so I'm far from a kid (although I do thank you for the compliment).
You are actually making yourself sound worse by admitting you have been breeding for 40 years! If you've been breeding for a year or 2, then I could maybe understand not having a clue about how to avoid inbreeding. But you've been doing this for 40 years and you haven't learned how to breed correctly?? That's quite embarrassing! I love how people think that they can prove how knowledgable they are just by saying "I've been doing this for __ years".
"Work at it". Well, since I don't breed and don't intend to, no thanks. I would never want to add another inexperienced and foolish breeder to the pool - like you.
OK, I thought I'd just ignore this but it might help others.
Inbreeding is a term used when breeding families, versus outcrossing or out breeding or crossbreeding. if one uses the random mating or outcrossing technique they will never develop homozygosity. That will never produce like animals. There will be no control over deleterious genes, some of which atre lethal in homozygous form(2 copies). Very great numbers of young would be required for selection to gain improvement.
Inbreeding , done by a person who is equipped with knowledge, or under direction of a knowledgable mentor can be the best tool for improvement. Of course in the hands of ignorance it can also be the faSTEST GAURANTEE OF DECLINE. All breeds are developed by judicious inbreeding and there are few instances of outcrossing being used to develop a new breed or to gain possitive changes.
I have bred national winning poultry in Sumatra, and 3 varieties of Hamburg bantams, I have created a new breed. I am currently breeding rabbits again and in 3 years of inbreeding I have bred uo from average quality to class winners. My Beagles ALL had the same male in their 7 gen pedigrees at least 2 times,many times 3 & 4; several were near field champions. I could go on.
When someone condemns inbreeding, especially the way done in this thread it is a sure fire tip off that person has no concept of what they are speaking.
I even made sibling matings for 4-5&6 generations to bring out certain traits resulting in my first grand champion Rex rabbit. It did require severe culling to eliminate undesirable traits and I did have to make a related outcross due to thin hock pads whicj were recovered in F1 outcross. Inbreeding Can be sustained for nearly ever, there are many examples in every class of livestock.
if you would like to debate this on a higher level, let me know. I consider myself fairly well versed on poultry genetics and not too shabby with genetics of the rabbit. And the basis of your argument is ???
This topic was on dissection, and I found your practices in that area to be absolutely horrific. I only commented on inbreeding to point out another problem with the things you do. However, you win on "breeding knowledge". I don't breed, and therefore I have no desire to debate on the topic, nor do I have sufficient data or knowledge. I never said I did. So no thank you...I have no interest in debating this on a "higher level" - but I still hold my place in the fact that inbreeding is not a good practice. Unfortunately I can't use your "scientific" vocabulary to prove it. It seems to me that you are more concerned with breeding perfect animals than you are concerned with the health of the animals.
But here's some information I happened to find.
The Wikipedia definition of "inbreeding":
"Inbreeding is breeding between close relatives, whether plant or animal. If practiced repeatedly, it often leads to a reduction in genetic diversity. A concomitant increase in homozygousity of recessive traits can, over time, result in inbreeding depression. This may result in inbred individuals exhibiting reduced health and fitness and lower levels of fertility.
Livestock breeders often practice inbreeding to "fix" desirable characteristics within a population. However, they must then cull unfit offspring, especially when trying to establish the new and desirable trait in their stock."
For those who don't know, "cull" means to KILL an animal immediately.
Here's something written by John Armstrong:
"Many breeders still cling to the idea that inbreeding is the only route to success, and that they can use it as a tool to identify and weed out genetic problems in their line. They will cite the success of certain breeders who inbred extensively, unaware (or conveniently ignoring) that the most successful litters from these kennels were often the least inbred. They also seem to be unaware that many studies on a wide variety of species have demonstrated that highly inbred individuals frequently live shorter lives and have fewer progeny. This is called inbreeding depression.
Inbreeding depression results, in part, from the bringing together of deleterious recessive alleles inherited via both parents from a common ancestor. In humans, where genetic diseases of this type are relatively rare, the frequency of affected individuals is often higher in small populations that are culturally or geographically isolated. In dogs, man has created similar isolated populations by restricting genetic exchange between pure breeds. However, given a sufficiently large and diverse group of founders, there is no reason why the average purebred should not lead a long, healthy life - if responsibly bred."
I have spoken with several vets and a couple of dog/horse breeders who all say too much inbreeding is a very bad thing in the long run. Reason being that continual inbreeding reduces the natural diversity of new genes and allows the same small number of genes to be replicatred over and ober. When one or two of those genes mutate, the effects can go unnoticed for a long time---contaminationg that entire line of stock. Hip dysplasia in German Shepherds is a prime example of that probability. We once owned n American Quarter Horse from a sire so affected----in fact, the AQHA has a special catagory for the descendents of that sire---since he throws the problematic genes.
So, while selective inbreeding is common for strengthening a lineage---it is absolutely problematic long term---regardless of care takem.
The fact is, most of my breeding info does come from anumal geneticists and is proven. The info you have posted could all easily be disproved.
culling is disposing of the unwanted, killing CAN be 1 of the methods, A responsiblwe breeder would practice culling whether they use in breeding or not, sellinf defective stock is stealing. More defective stock can be reproduced by random breeding than by inbreeding.
Many who are inesperieinced assume inbreeding is only sibling mating which it is not of course, it is breeding within a family. fathger X daughter, son X mother, grandmothr x gransob cousins , etc.
\ There is absolutly no reason for close bred animals to have shorter lives, my very inbred chickens some of which live 10 years or so, as long as any other chicken, same for any other speciu=ie.
Another mis leading point you try to make is quality of inbreds vs that of random mated , just plain in error, there are way to many instances to even bother going into, But, for every one you show me, i will show you 10
Yes, this thread has lost its original meaning. so long, It would make more sense to speak to a door! .
"culling is disposing of the unwanted, killing CAN be 1 of the methods"
Name ONE other way to "dispose" of an animal. Disposing is the same as killing.
"It would make more sense to speak to a door!"
Well, since YOU brought up breeding and that is not what I was focusing on, then you are right - you know more about it than I do...does that make you feel smart? But it doesn't mean you are right about your methods. And by the way, if we start talking about MY profession, you can be assured that I can show you 10 ways for your one - so don't feel too special.
Hmmmm...you stopped talking about the main issue here, which is the fact that you rip open your animals. I wonder why you decided to change the subject.....
This thread kind of went sour, I will give it another shot!
Culling is done in several ways. Sick, deformed or otherwise unworthy animals should neve be put into the gene pool, culling by euthanasia would be the prudent thing to do. Other methods of culling, pet quality or non breeding types yet still healthy animals can be culled by giving away or selling.
I mentioned breeding in passing, it was you who decide to make an issue of the subject. My intention was not to prove my superiority, but to better explain coomonly used breeding practices.
I have butchered my own meat animals for many years, I see their "innards" when I prepare them, thats pretty common!! I have learned much from those experiences. I also read text books and other animal books, I associate with animal breeders and we discuss many health issues. It is quite common for breeders to perform investigations into death of their stock. It is NOT uinusual and there is much to be learned to the benefit of the breeder.Its unaffordable to have animals, especially small low value animals looked at by professionals and many breeders are very learned on their critters inner parts.
I am happy you are well versed in your profession. Breeding and growing top quality animals & plants is my passion and my hobby but not my profession.
OK...I have to agree with fancifowl a little bit. I keep koi (ornamental fish)in my pond. They are show quality, expensive animals. I am a certified koi health advisor (hobby...not profession). If one koi dies, I darn sure will necropsy it to try to determine the cause. I know what the inside of a healthy koi looks like, and by looking for abnormalities I may be able to determine why a koi died and if my other koi are at risk. No vets in this area know a thing about koi, so there is no alternative. I do not find it enjoyable, but necesary to preserve the healthy of the rest of my collection.
Also...regarding culling....all koi keepers I know regularly cull their collection. Of all the people I know, culling means killing to just one of them. The rest of the "culled" koi are simply removed from the main collection and placed in a new home.
And finally the original topic...dissection. I think requiring children to dissect frogs or unborn pigs is barbaric. Only children/young adults majoring in biology should be required to dissect critters. I was made to dissect a pigglet in school....it make me sick. That little piggy died so a couple of kids could see what was inside. Sad.
So, something made you sick, so no one else should have the opportunity?
I agree dissection is not for everyone. The level of dissection needs to be coupled with the level of interest/education.
Worms/etc. are wonderful first subjects. They do not evoke many emotions---except the inevitable distaste---and provide the reason for the process in the first place---to see how complex living things are.
The average grade schooler does not need to dissect a piglet. Worms, frogs, lizards, or small rodents are quite acceptable. Once a student gets past grade school, interest should be the driving factor.
Oh, about the piglet that died 'so kids could see what was inside'? I doubt it, piglets are much more valuable alive and grown for food than killed for 'science'. In pig farms, hundreds of piglets die weekly and selling their bodies for science is better than letting their mothers eat the body.
I managed to learn a lot about science, and later, life without ever dissecting anything. I don't see why we need to have kids cut into and see the guts of animals, in general.
On the other hand, I fully understand fancifowl's use of dissection to understand the cause of death of his animals. He/She lives a lifestyle most Americans never live, where butchering your own meat is just a part of the life cycle. I lived in the country as a young person and had the experience of "knowing" who I was eating at times. I tell you, unless you never eat meat, you are a part of the chain of production that includes butchering. I sometimes think that it is more "real" to know, honor, and give thanks for a piece of meat I know. My biggest turn-off in the food department is not knowing where that slab of meat in the plastic wrap came from and how it was treated in its life and how it died. I would bet that fancifowl's meat is treated well and butchered humanely. He/She knows the true value of the life that is being taken. And if you don't learn biology from butchering properly, you don't learn it anywhere!
Fancifowl, have you ever decided not to eat an animal after seeing the internal organs? I bet you have. I KNOW that the commercial food producer will feed me everything that the government inspectors will let him get away with - and since there are so few inspectors, I probably have gotten some pretty bad stuff too.
I come from mid-Michigan, where every woman of my generation should have had our breast milk tested before breast feeding babies because commercial meat producers let sick cattle get into the food supply. The cattle had been accidentally fed fire retardants. They butchered the cattle quick and got rid of the evidence so they would not lose their investment in beef cattle. The fire retardants were fat-soluable. That means that the chemicals would sit in the body fat of the people who ate the meat until the fat was used for fuel. So breast tissue that made "pure" milk for the babies was leaching poison into the milk. I bet that only a fraction of women of my generation ever got tested. I was never able to get pregnant, so I never had to talk a doc into testing any milk, but I sure was planning to insist if I ever did conceive! Fancifowl would NOT have eaten those cattle. Looking at the outside (let alone dissecting them) was enough to know no one had any business eating these cattle.
I may disagree with our friend fancifowl on some things, but I totally respect that he/she KNOWS what the inside of an animal should look like and I give honor to him/her for getting meat the old-fashioned, honest way. Any of us who eat meat are fooling ourselves if we forget that our meat once had a "face", too!
I am married to a vegetarian. I understand and agree with the reasons he chooses not to eat meat, fish, or fowl. He also lives his life a lot more honestly than I do!

text: Publishers Weekly - Publisher's Weekly If the quick pace of Peretti's historical discourse leaves genre didacts and obscurantists grousing about the lack of finer definition in many details, novice fans will find that Jazz in American Culture offers a proper accounting for the music's cultural import. From the earliest ragtime to the post-bop present, jazz has always epitomized that most American of ideals: progress. Peretti (Creation of Jazz: Music, Race, and Culture in Urban America) defines jazz's progressive cultural impact along racial and sociological lines. The earliest jazz performances, the "jungle reviews," portrayed African American musicians as primitives, forbidden to mingle with customers. So an important part of jazz's social context is reflected in the opposition of such greats as Charles Mingus and Dizzy Gillespie to separatist ideas and the early, persistent demands of many jazz musicians for equal rights. Peretti goes beyond the clich of a roaring "jazz age" followed by years of declining popularity, but shows that while the technical complexity demonstrated by Charlie Parker and Thelonious Monk revived a stagnating genre, many fans preferred to dance in the direction of easier, more accessible sounds. Once and for all, jazz parted ways with popular taste. Peretti argues that the various genre experiments that followed bebop reflected an ever-quickening sense of racial progress for African Americans and for the country as a whole. It's an intriguing premise that makes it all the more unfortunate that today's best players don't enjoy a wider audience. (May)

I'm working on a website which should be fully visible for users in a place that Facebook.com is banned for them. so my Facebook like box plugin will not appear for them. ( in order to not localize this question, assume that I want to bypass all client-side firewalls and show like box plugin as a simple HTML in my website (my website is not banned there)).
My server can access Facebook.com and I thought that i can get content of my plugin using curl (in my server's computer) and then execute and show content of that page as a simple HTML in any part of my website. So I just wrote following script:
$c = curl_init('https://www.facebook.com/plugins/likebox.php?href=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.facebook.com%2Fstevejobs&width=292&height=258&colorscheme=dark&show_faces=true&border_color&stream=false&header=false');
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, array('Host: www.facebook.com', 'Accept: text/html,application/xhtml+xml,application/xml;q=0.9,*/*;q=0.8
', 'Accept-Language: en-us,en;q=0.5', 'Accept-Charset: ISO-8859-1,utf-8;q=0.7,*;q=0.7', 'Accept-Encoding: gzip, deflate'));
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_USERAGENT, "Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; rv:5.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/5.0");
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION, 1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, 1);
curl_setopt(CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_BINARYTRANSFER, true);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, FALSE);
$html = curl_exec($c);
if (curl_error($c))
$status = curl_getinfo($c, CURLINFO_HTTP_CODE);
Surprisingly above code works for https://www.youtube.com( which is banned there too ) or https://www.google.com but not working with that URL or even simply https://www.facebook.com in my server.
Another question : if I use https://www.youtube.com instead of Facebook.com I still can't get CSS files or Javascript files which used in YouTube.com( because they are banned too and clients can't download it either). I just can see texts and some images. I also want curl to automatically get content of CSS and Javascript files.
I also used YQL in order to get content of like box plugin from Facebook.com but I got following result:
YQL statement:

It looks like there are some problem with facebook.com's robots.txt. I should mention that above YQL statement works for other websites( like https://www.youtube.com or https://www.yahoo.com ).

Stayed 3 nights after a business trip in Switzerland. Arrived from train to Gare de Lyon and took a taxi to the hotel. Reasonable cost of 13E.
I had a charming room on the 4th floor facing the interior, so no view, just another building, but it was very quiet. My room was huge with a king bed and another single, so 3 could easily fit in here. The bed was comfortable. The bathroom was large too and very clean. Internet access is good. No air conditioning in this hotel, but was not an issue during my stay as it was cool. There is a safe in the room. Complaint is the hand shower as it was awkward. Also a caution if you are tall, the angled beams are not ideal. I'm 5'4" and I banged my head because I wasn't careful in some spots.
I had breakfast for 9.5E and it was reasonable. The fresh squeezed orange juice was delicious. I also ate in cafes around and their cost is 6-7E but you don't get the same amount of food, but more ambience.
As others have said this hotel is very convenient to the metro and you can walk to plenty of main sights. I loved the Maris area. I felt very safe here.
Staff is great and very helpful. The lobby has a computer and printer to do check-in.
Can walk to the Chatelet les Halles to catch the RER to the CDG. Which I did, but with the train strike, the journey to the airport was not as convenient as hoped.
I highly recommend staying here, just not in the hot summer.
- Official Description (provided by the hotel):

I was wondering if people would share their best practices / strategies on handling exceptions & errors. Now I'm not asking when to throw an exception ( it has been throroughly answered here: SO: When to throw an Exception) . And I'm not using this for my application flow - but there are legitimate exceptions that happen all the time. For example the most popular one would be ActiveRecord::RecordNotFound. What would be the best way to handle it? The DRY way?
Right now I'm doing a lot of checking within my controller so if
Post.find(5) returns Nil - I check for that and throw a flash message. However while this is very granular - it's a bit cumbersome in a sense that I need to check for exceptions like that in every controller, while most of them are essentially the same and have to do with record not found or related records not found - such as either
Post.find(5) not found or if you are trying to display comments related to post that doesn't exist, that would throw an exception (something like
I know you can do something like this in ApplicationController and overwrite it later in a particular controller/method to get more granular support, however would that be a proper way to do it?
class ApplicationController < ActionController::Base
rescue_from ActiveRecord::RecordInvalid do |exception|
render :action => (exception.record.new_record? ? :new : :edit)
Also this would work in case
Post.find(5) not found, but what about
Post.find(5).comments[0].created_at - I meant I can't throw a full blown exception if the post exists but has not comments, right?
To summarize so far I was doing a lot of manual checking using if/else/unless or case/when ( and I confess occasionally begin/rescue) and checking for nil? or empty?, etc. , but there's got to be a better way it seems.
@Milan: Hi Milan Thanks for a reply - I agree with what you said, and I think I misused the word exception. What I meant is that right now I do a lot of things like:
if Post.exists?(params[:post_id])
@p = Post.find(params[:post_id])
flash[:error] = " Can't find Blog Post"
And I do a lot of this kind of "exception handling", I try to avoid using begin/rescue. But it seems to me that this is a common enough result/verification/situation that there should be a DRYer way to do this, don't you? How would you do this kind of check?
Also how would handle it in this case? Let's say you want to display comment created date in your view:
Last comment for this post at : <%= @post.comments[0].created_at %>
And this post doesn't have any comments. You can do
Last comment for this post at : <%= @post.comments.last.created_at unless @post.comments.empty? %>
You could do a check in controller. Etc. There are several ways to do it. But what is the "best" way to handle this?
