Almost everyone enjoys popsicles. Well, dogs love them too! Maybe you would like to give your best buddy a popsicle to eat. This question pops into our heads when it heats up outside. Ice cream popsicles are particularly good to have around during the hot summer months.
After all, your dog probably needs to cool off more than you do since they have a fur coat on 24 hours a day! But can you really give your pet dog popsicles?
Ice popsicles for dogs is debatable. Some say it's alright while others say it's bad for canines. We are here to settle the issue once and for all.
Can I Give My Dog Popsicles? Answer: Yes, but make your own
Generally, popsicles are okay to be given to dogs but what's better is making your own!
There are certain restrictions on this. Giving whole popsicles to your dog, especially on a regular basis, is probably a bad idea.
When you do give your dog this kind of summer treat make sure they are made of safe and natural ingredients. Popsicles containing artificial coloring and sweeteners are harmful to dogs over the long term.
If you're sure that your frozen popsicles are made of sugar-free ingredients and that there are no preservatives in them, then go ahead. Enjoy this tasty treat with your best friend on occasion.
Making Safe Popsicles at Home
To make absolutely sure that you aren't feeding your dog unhealthy popsicle treats, you can make your own popsicles at home. Since dogs particularly like the coldness of popsicles, the flavor only comes secondary to enjoying this type of treat. Think of the blazing summer sun!
Even popsicles made of just plain water will be enjoyed by your dog. You can keep it simple. If you have one of those popsicle makers, just put plain water in the containers (minus the popsicle stick) and your pooch can have a cold treat anytime. Afternoon hours during the hot months of summer are really brutal for K9s. You'd be really helping them out.
Dogs really do need to cool off during hot weather conditions in order to avoid becoming dehydrated. Popsicles serve the dual purpose of being a doggy treat and a preventive measure against summer dehydration. If you keep it healthy you are definitely doing the right thing.
If you want to get fancy and keep your dog hydrated at the same time, use Pedialyte and Gatorade as the main ingredients in your homemade popsicles. Simply mix a sufficient amount of Pedialyte or Gatorade in water and freeze it using popsicle containers. Dilute the Gatorade to cut down on their sugar intake. If you don't have a popsicle maker, use ordinary ice trays instead.
Popsicle Recipes for Your Dog
Using your imagination you can create fantastic, delicious, and nutritious popsicle recipes for your dog. For example, try combining peanut butter and banana in a blender and then freeze in ice trays or paper cups. You can even enjoy this homemade cold treat with your dog (it's good for both of you!).
Another way to create a healthy popsicle is to mix yogurt, fresh fruit juice and peanut butter in a blender. Then freeze the pureed mixture in the freezer for a delicious treat for the whole family.
For a really fast and improvised popsicle to give as treat to your dog, you can simply freeze carrots or bananas. These are healthy foods and it will soothe them.
Advantages of Healthy Popsicles
There are many advantages of giving popsicles, either fruit flavored or not, aside from your dog's increased happiness. There are cases of dogs losing consciousness due to prolonged heat exposure. Heat stroke can also occur when a dog gets badly dehydrated. Once your canine is weakened and vulnerable the damage can quickly worsen so hydration is key.
Popsicles help! Avoid this problem in a fun and enjoyable way by sharing cold treats with your dog. Just stick to healthy ingredients. There's no reason to provide chemically laced foods when trying to achieve K9 hydration.
Cooling Down Conclusion
During hot and humid summer months, when the heat can get scorching hot, don't forget to share some popsicle treats with your dog. For best results make your own popsicles so you know they won't be harmful for your dog. Enjoy the summer!

Michael Davis was hired by Christie's New York shortly after he graduated from college. He took a client services position with the hope of eventually landing in the Photography Department. A trip to Napa Valley to assist Michael Broadbent at the first Napa Valley Wine Auction changed everything. He assisted with the first Christie's wine auctions in America, which at the time were elaborate road shows, and ultimately headed the Wine Department for the firm when all its wine operations were based in Chicago.
Michael, along with his colleague Paul Hart, founded Davis & Company in 1993, and the firm quickly became a leading auction house specializing in rare wines. In October 1998 Davis & Company was acquired by Sotheby's, and Michael was appointed Senior Vice President and co-director of the North American Wine Department. In the first year of his term at Sotheby's, wine sales rose 220% on the way to a record-breaking year.
After honoring their contract with Sotheby's, Michael and Paul joined up with their old friend John Hart, an internationally prominent rare wine merchant, to form Hart Davis Hart Wine Company in January 2005. With their combined experience of over 75 years in the rare wine business, Hart Davis Hart emerged as both a dynamic retailer and internationally important wine auction house in the first year of operation. The firm is one of the most innovative and trusted sources for rare wine in America, serving collectors and restaurants worldwide by offering traditional live auctions, private retail services, online sales, and consultation at every level. In May 2007 Hart Davis Hart offered The Steven Verlin Collection, the largest named single-owner wine auction in history. The two-day auction was 100% sold, and numerous world records were shattered as the auction tallied $7.1 million.
Over the course of his career, Michael has worked with many prominent collectors and numerous records have been set under his gavel. His insight on the market is highly sought by television, radio, and print media. He has been interviewed by CNN, and NPR, virtually all wine consumer publications, as well as Time, Town & Country, Robb Report, W, and most leading newspapers across the country.

Nidalee is an excellent hybrid damage champion that excels at long range poke, high mobility, and map control.
This guide will focus on how to play Nidalee as a solo-top AP champion, with a bit of hybrid damage.
Cougar: Nidalee's next attack deals additional damage based on how low her opponent's life is.
Since the nerf to Primal Surge, I now opt to max Javelin Toss / Takedown first. Since Nidalee's Cougar Form abilities do NOT grow in strength until Aspect of the Cougar is leveled up, you will only benefit in your human form abilities when leveling them.
Javelin toss damage is calculated by how far you are from your target when it makes contact. To maximize damage with Javelin Toss, run away from the direction you throw the Javelin, or pop into Cougar Form and Pounce away. As AP Nidalee, you are usually able to 1-shot or 2-shot a carry with Javelins from a long range.
It can be argued that maxing Javelin Toss first is a bad choice because of the "difficulty" to hit during lane phase, but that's up to the player you're laned against. If you're not hitting them consistently, max E - Primal Surge / Swipe first.
Nidalee's biggest strength is her huge damage from her Cougar Form combo.
While trading damage or poking, you can follow up with Pounce > Swipe > Takedown > run away for a significant amount of damage. Against a less skilled opponent, you can even hit them with a Javelin after retreating.
Cougar: Nidalee lunges forward, dealing damage to surrounding enemies. Pounce is not affected by cooldown reduction.
I take Bushwhack at level 1 for brush control, gank-prevention, and so I have Pounce at level 6. Since it's mostly a utility spell, max it last.
Though I only take one point at level 1, the level 1 damage on traps is fairly high. Keep your bushes trapped constantly and ALWAYS get a few auto-attacks in if the enemy champion hits the trap if it's possible. A few traps in the river + bushes can prevent early ganks, but you should still ward.
Pounce can be used to jump through/over a lot of terrain on Summoners Rift.
Here's a list of a lot of the places you can Pounce:
Top lane ridge between baron and blue team bush.
Baron Wall
Dragon Wall
Golem Buff Walls
Lizard Buff Walls
Wraith Wall @ River side
Double Golem Wall
Inner Side Lane Walls Between Inhib Turret and First Lane Turret
Wall in front of Wolves.
Using Pounce in combination with Flash can close huge gaps as well as create them. Nidalee has HUGE kiting and escaping potential because of this. Abuse it to no end.
Cougar: Nidelee claws at enemies in front of her.
Primal Surge used to be strong, but since nerfs, it's pretty underpowered. The mana cost on CLGaming is wrong, so plan accordingly.
Mana Cost - 60/80/100/120/140 ManaRange - 600
I choose to max heal second of my non-ult abilities for more sustain in lane, and there isn't a better option. This should keep you on top in most lane matchups, as well as providing a decent attack speed increase for early game damage trading, harassing, and full-game pushing.
Again, the mana cost is completely insane now, so try not to spam the hell out of your heal unless needed. A few HP pots go a long way, and should be used before you spam heals, unless you have golem buff or full mana.
Nidalee transforms into a vicious cougar, gaining 20 movement speed, 10% dodge, and a new set of abilities.
Everything I would've said about Cougar form is covered in HotshotGGs guide, so I'll just paste his, rather than just reword it.
It grants extra resistances so before large bursts of damage try to shift into form.
If you are being chased by enemies DON'T switch out to heal, even if you are 50HP. Always choose to pounce away.
Aspect of the cougar grants 20 move speed, always use that to your advantage when kiting and chasing your enemies.
When battling another champion it's almost always better to stay in cougar for the whole duration of the engage. Only use your human form abilities if you're able to kite during the cool down of your aspect.It grants extra resistances so before large bursts of damage try to shift into form.
When played well, loses to nobody.
You may have some difficulty in a few matchups, but in this case you just let the waves push to your tower and wait until level 6. Cougar Form will turn around the matchup for you if you're having trouble, and will secure your dominance in a matchup you're already winning.
If yes, play accordingly. Allow minion waves to push to your tower unless you can out-damage them by at least 30%.
If not, use Bushwhack and Primal Surge together to put out large amounts of damage, then back off
As AP Nidalee, I opt to stay at the outside of team fights, throwing Javelins when I can hit a target, and healing Allies as needed.
As always, heal order is:
Yourself > AD Carry > AP Carry > Tank > Support
Obviously this idea revolves around everyone being about the same on HP, or all low. If everyone's fine but your support, heal them. Derp.
This is very situational, and I choose to not give out my entire game-winning strategy.
You can play carefully and stay outside, throwing Javelins and Healing, or you can go balls-deep and Cougar Form into the fight like a man (This can go very poorly, VERY QUICKLY)

UFC 158: St-Pierre vs. Diaz Gate and AttendanceQuote:
The Fight of the Night bonus went to the co-main event fighters Carlos Condit and Johny Hendricks. The two top welterweight contenders fought to a decision in an action-packed war. Hendricks' wrestling was the difference in what was a Fight of the Year candidate.
Jake Ellenberger's first-round knockout of Nate Marquardt earned him the Knockout of the Night award. Ellenberger, known for his knockout punching power, landed a combination along the cage the knocked Marquardt down. As Marquardt struggled to grab a leg, Ellenberger delivered a right hand that rendered him unconscious.
There was no Submission of the Night bonus for UFC 158 because there wasn't a submission finish in the 12 fights on the card.
UFC 158: St-Pierre vs. Diaz Gate and Attendance | MMAWeekly.com
UFC president Dana White, following the fight, said that UFC 158 drew an attendance of 20,145 for a live gate totaling $3.71 million.
Those are much higher numbers in both categories than the promotion's last trip to Montreal.

See more in our gallery: "Cooling it: How molten rock takes on strange new forms"
ON 5 February 252 AD, a violent volcanic eruption of Mount Etna in Sicily sent a wave of lava towards the city of Catania. According to one tale, desperate citizens opened the tomb of Saint Agatha and removed her red veil, which they held aloft in front of the flow. Miraculously the lava halted, sparing the city from destruction.
Unfortunately, things didn't go so well when they tried it again after an eruption in 1669: this time their holy relic let them down and the city's harbour was badly damaged.
Yet one out of two isn't such a bad record, considering that modern science has little to offer against this implacable force of nature. After all, how do you stop a river of molten rock? Engineers have tried erecting dams, spraying lava flows with ...

The core members of the clinical team have professional training and certification in palliative medicine and palliative care nursing. Members of the core team are based in the UNC School of Medicine and UNC Health Care System. Palliative care encompasses humanistic and scientific contributions from many perspectives; we rely on effective collaborations with community partners, faculty from other Schools at the University of North Carolina, and input from faculty outside of UNC.
Charlotte Rowe is the Palliative Care Nurse Practitioner. Charlotte joined the team in 2009 from Upstate New York where she worked as a Nurse Practitioner at the University of Rochester Medical Center and its home care affiliate, Visiting Nurse, specializing in Hematology/Oncology and Hospice and Palliative Care.
Charlotte completed her Nurse Practitioner program at Nazareth College in Rochester, NY. She is advanced practice board certified in both Hematology/Oncology and Hospice and Palliative Care. During her career in Upstate New York, Charlotte helped develop an inpatient Palliative Care Unit as well as design and implement a Palliative Care educational orientation program for nurses both experienced and new to palliative care. In 2008, Charlotte was appointed to the New York State Palliative Care Training Council, an expert panel of medical professionals whose mission is to develop and advise the New York State Health Commissioner on best practices in Palliative Care.
At UNC, Charlotte provides clinical coverage for the Palliative Care consultation service and has worked with Palliative Care researchers on new and on-going research initiatives.

Statement of Significance (as of designation - October 9, 1960):
Campsite where Lewis and Clark stopped before crossing the Bitterroot Mountains on their 1805 trip west and on their return the next year.
Since the last report, the boundary of the Travelers Rest NHL nomination has been revised to include the actual site of the Lewis and Clark encampment, based on recent archeological investigations. Most of the new site is within the boundary of Travelers Rest State Park, owned by Montana Fish, Wildlife & Parks.
Recent developments at the NHL have impacted the sites integrity. In 2006, a new bridge was constructed across Lolo Creek, on the edge of the NHL boundary. As part of the bridge project, a construction road was built across the Lewis and Clark encampment portion of the NHL. Although some measures were taken to protect the archeological resources during construction, the road is a significant impact on the sites integrity and viewshed. In addition, commercial and private development is occurring on lands surrounding the site, which could eventually affect the viewshed. Montana Fish, Wildlife & Parks, in cooperation with the Travelers Rest Preservation and Heritage Association, is preparing a cultural resource management plan for Travelers' Rest State Park with assistance from the NPS and the Montana SHPO, which will help address these issues.
Recommendation/Change since last report:
In order to help restore the physical integrity and viewshed of the NHL, the construction road and bridge need to be removed. Implementation of the cultural resource management plan, when completed, will benefit the NHL.
Comments and questions about the database may be directed to email@example.com

The first in what I intend to be an ongoing series of posts, each of which will feature a monster that originally appeared in Dragon Magazine in either 2E or 3E format (or possibly both). Due to copyright I will not reproduce the whole original article, but will supply enough information to use the monsters.
Original Source: Dragon 199 (November 1993)
A trollhound looks like a large, ugly worg or small dire wolf with black pits for eyes. Most trollhounds stand between 4′ and 6′ at the shoulder and bulge with thick muscles and tendons. The skin of a trollhound is a vile mix of violet, gray and green with patches of coarse spike black or gray hair. The lips, tongue and teeth of trollhounds are inky black. They always smell of waste, death and decay.
Trollhounds are fearless, ravenous canines that prey upon anything they can catch. They prefer live prey over carrion, but are not unwilling to eat corpses. These fierce animals usually hunt in packs of 4-24 and have a strict heirachy apparently based on sent. They also have a great affinity for trolls, and are often found as watchdogs in the lairs of smatter trolls.
Trollhounds use simple pack tactics, in particular they hunt by having one or more members of the pack lock onto their prey hindering its ability to both fight and flee while other members of the pack harrass the target.

Rodeo time got you hankerin' for some cowboy art? Several galleries are obliging with works that recall the romance of a West that was.
Giddy up fast to see scenic oil paintings of horses and their riders by Santa Fe, N.M., artist Cheryl Koen at the Jung Center gallery. Koen's thick brushwork blends Impressionist and Realist influences - kind of blown-out Frederic Remington style. She paints en plein air, with brilliant colors that convey a high noon sensibility in the Land of Enchantment.
Things look more contemplative at William Reaves Fine Art, where 33 painters are featured starting Friday in "A Tribute to Texas Rivers." The exhibit's 50 paintings, some made 75 years ago, evoke our state's natural waters with a romance that's both familiar and fast-disappearing.
Andrew Sansom, director of the Meadows Center for Water and the Environment, gives a gallery talk at William Reaves at 3 p.m. March 9. Hear featured artist and author Margie Crisp at 2 p.m. March 16.

Prince William and his wife Catherine have ended their Jubilee visit to the Asia-Pacific region with a joyful evening ceremony in one of the world's smallest and most isolated nations, Tuvalu.
While visiting, the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge were taken on a tour of the tiny town of Funafuti, visiting the local school, playing some volleyball and meeting local chiefs.
They visited the University of the South Pacific Tuvalu Campus, before going to a model village showing the traditional lifestyles of people on the islands.
The pair also planted two coconut trees to mark their visit to Tuvalu in the grounds of the Governor General's Residence and saw the coconut tree planted by the Queen during her 1982 visit.
Their evening involved a banquet of traditional foods and dancing, with the future King not hesitating to don a grass skirt to dance with the locals.
A barefoot Duchess wore a long flowing dress by Angela Temperley under a grass skirt with a floral crown.
After eight days spent travelling to Singapore, Malaysia and
Solomon Islands, William said Tuvalu was the highlight of their
tour marking the Queen's 60 years on the throne.
"It is precisely because of the Queen's deep love for this place and the stories we have heard from her about its great natural beauty, its rich culture and the friendliness and character of its people that Catherine and I have been so looking forward to our visit," he said.
The couple have not allowed the recent nude photo scandal to mar their tour, but welcomed a judge's ruling forbidding further publishing topless photographs of Catherine.
The pictures were taken while the royal couple were on holiday in a chateau in southern France before their nine-day tour of Asia and the South Pacific. Buckingham Palace called the photo spread a "grotesque" invasion of the couple's privacy.
Injunction welcomed
The court in Nanterre, near Paris granted an injunction to the Duke and the Duchess of Cambridge, banning France's Closer magazine from further publishing topless photographs of Catherine and ordering it to hand the pictures over to the royal couple.
The injunction also prevents Closer from selling the pictures to other media.
The court earlier opened a criminal investigation into charges that the photographer who took the shots and Closer breached the privacy of the prince and his wife.
"The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge welcome the judge's ruling," a spokeswoman for the royal couple said.
Closer will be fined 10,000 euros ($13,100) per day of delay in handing over the images, the court said in the civil ruling. The couple are also seeking damages from the weekly over its publication of the photographs in a five-page spread on Friday.
The pictures were taken while the couple were on holiday in a chateau in southern France and show the duchess slipping off her bikini top, relaxing on a sun lounger and at one point pulling down the back of her bikini bottoms.
British newspapers, fighting for their reputation after a string of scandals, have agreed not to publish the images, as has the British edition of Closer, which is managed separately.
The Sun tabloid screamed: "Find Le Rat" on its front page and said the photographer would be found and face jail.
The court said police would investigate whether there were grounds for criminal charges against Closer and its publisher, Italy's Mondadori, and the photographer.
On Monday, the publisher of tabloid The Irish Daily Star suspended its editor after the newspaper broke ranks with Irish and British peers, publishing pages from Closer with the photographs in its Saturday edition.
Italian gossip magazine Chi, also published by Mondadori,
printed a 26-page special edition dedicated to the pictures on

Originally written on Patriots Life | Last updated 2/25/13
FOXBORO, MA - JANUARY 10: Tom Brady #12 of the New England Patriots looks on in the first half against the Baltimore Ravens during the 2010 AFC wild-card playoff game at Gillette Stadium on January 10, 2010 in Foxboro, Massachusetts. (Photo by Elsa/Getty Images)
So we've just heard the news that Tom Brady signed a contract extension until the 2017 season. The contract is guaranteed for the 2013, 2014, 2015 seasons and not for the last two years when he is 39 and 40-years-old so there is still a chance he could could pull a Peyton Manning. Back to Welker. Before the Brady news broke the rumor went around that Welker was close to signing a 5 year $40 million deal. A couple hours later, what do ya know, Brady is back in New England for another 5 years. 5 and 5. I can almost guarantee that Brady said he'll take less money if they'd use that money to sign Welker. REMEMBER: After Tom Brady won his 3rd title, he signed a 6 year $60 million deal. That was crazy. Peyton Manning's deal dwarfed that contract. This is a very similar situation. Peyton's new deal in Denver is a 5 year $96 million contract. Brady could've demanded Peyton money but he didn't because he wants to win championships, and to help that championship cause, he wants Welker back. ...

text: GamesBeat China's CrossFire shooter is bigger than League of Legends and World of Tanks Above: Digital games continue to grow, with free-top-play growing rapidly.Image Credit: SuperData January 15, 2014 9:39 AM Dean Takahashi 0 If you're not reaching, engaging, and monetizing customers on mobile, you're likely losing them to someone else. Register now for the 8th annual MobileBeat, July 13-14, where the best and brightest will be exploring the latest strategies and tactics in the mobile space. China's Tencent scored big with free-to-play games in 2013, with its CrossFire shooter holding the No. 1 position of the year and its League of Legends holding the No. 2 spot in revenues, according to market researcher SuperData Research on the communist nation's multibillion-dollar PC game market. Meanwhile, in the U.S., digital games grew 11 percent in revenues to $11.8 billion thanks to the rise of mobile and free-to-play games. China's top 10 free-to-play games, where players play for free and pay real money for virtual goods, generated $3.6 billion in revenue in 2013. CrossFire, made by SmileGate and published by Tencent, made $957 million in revenue, while League of Legends (developer Riot Games is now a Tencent subsidiary) came in at $624 million. SuperData chief exec Joost van Dreunen said in a statement that "Tencent continues its dominance in the space with CrossFire and League of Legends, good for a combined annual gross of $1.58 billion, and staying ahead of Nexon, which holds three of the top 10 slots with a combined worth of well over $800 million." Wargaming came in at No. 4 with World of Tanks, which generated annual revenues of $372 million. NCSoft's Lineage I, now in its 14th year, generated $257 million in revenue. "Despite its chronic subscriber loss, World of Warcraft managed to generate $213 million in micro-transaction sales in 2013," he said, in addition to its subscriber revenue. Electronic Arts' Star Wars: The Old Republic earned $139 million in additional revenues in 2013. In December, U.S. digital game sales hit $1.2 billion, up 36 percent from $862 million. In the U.S., free-to-play online games grew 45 percent from $1.99 billion to $2.89 billion in 2013. Subscription revenues were $1.12 billion, down 19 percent from 2012. The U.S. mobile game market was $3.06 billion in 2013, up 28 percent from $2.39 billion. In December, mobile games were $317 million in December, up 16 percent from November. The social games segment shrank 21 percent to $1.81 billion as social gamers shifted over to mobile. And the downloadable content market for bot PC and console games was $2.87 billion, up 13 percent from a year earlier. December DLC sales were $379 million, up 71 percent from a year ago.

Muscle Mustangs & Fast FordsHow To Engine
S197 V6 Bolt-On Upgrades - Changing The Game
Part 1: We give a new 3.7L Mustang a chance with a cold-air kit and tuner
"Due to the size and flow capacity of the factory throttle body, and the inlet tube diameter at the throttle body, this system will be sold as a no-tune-required assembly," said Bender. "Creating a tune-required version would not increase the airflow capacity of this system. Even if the engine were to be outfitted with an aftermarket upgrade throttle body, the flow capacity of this air intake assembly would still be greater than the throttle body."
At its smallest point, where it meets the throttle body, the diameter of the inlet tube is 3 inches. So, even if you upgrade your throttle body later as parts become available, the C&L intake will still be able to provide plenty of airflow for your application.
While still on the dyno, Jake Lamotta installed the cold-air kit in about five minutes using simple handtools. The results were surprising--247 rwhp and 236 lb-ft of torque. That's without changing the tune, or anything else on the car for that matter. A 10hp increase is about what Bender expected. "A no-tune-required intake should see roughly a 10-11hp increase," said Bender. Not bad for under $300 and a few minutes of work.
But we wanted more. Another fine example of a simple mod most people find themselves doing when a car is fairly new is a handheld tuner. SCT Performance provided us with a new Xcal3 for our V-6, which retails for about $379. Chris Johnson of SCT, our company insider, shed some light on cracking the code on this new engine and what it means for you, the consumer.
"Tuning the V-6 is very similar to the 2011 Mustang GT," said Johnson. "The two control systems share the same logic, but use a slightly different computer." With TiVCT, we expected the 3.7-liter to respond well to the tuner, like the new 5.0-liter. After a re-flash, Lamotta spun the rollers yet again. This time, it produced 260 rwhp and 245 lb-ft of torque. With the speed limiter deactivated, the V-6 was able to wind up to its new 6,500-rpm limit.
The numbers are impressive on their own, but what would that translate to on the track? To find out, we headed to Gainesville Raceway in Gainesville, Florida. To make the comparison fair, we established a baseline in stock trim. After bogging a couple of launches, then spinning, Navarro finally got the launch just right. When the board lit up on the big end, it read 14.25 at 99.99 mph. Though inconsistent winds tried to impair us, Navarro backed up the run with a 14.22 at 99.52 mph. Both 60-foot times were in the 2.2-second range
Once he had installed the C&L intake and flashed the computer, Navarro headed back to the staging lanes. After cleaning off the stock Michelin street tires, he launched to a 2.15-second 60-foot, resulting in a 13.72 at 103.14 mph. "It felt really good and smooth," said Navarro. He backed up the best run with a 13.73 at 102.59 and a 13.83 at 102.46 mph.
So far, his basically stock V-6 has under $700 worth of do-it-yourself parts on it, and already runs 13s at over 100 mph. So where are we going with this? Check back next month as we install BBK headers and midpipe, a Magnaflow after-cat exhaust system, and a set of gears--complete with a track test, of course.

Tannins & Oak Barrel AlternativesHelp With Choosing Oak!
The following are results from research done at Stavin and should only be used to give an approximation of what each of these three varieties of oak can bring to your wine. Each sample was made using oak cubes with a two-month contact time and evaluated with no bottle ageing. Please note that due to the complexities of flavor chemistry these findings may or may not translate to your wine 100%. However, this information should be helpful in finding out which type of oak may the best to start with as you refine your oaking tastes.
French Oak Flavor Summary
- All toast levels have a perceived aromatic sweetness and full mouthfeel.
- French oak has a fruity, cinnamon/allspice character, along with custard/ crème brûlée, milk chocolate and campfire/roasted coffee notes*. (*Especially at higher toast levels.)
- As the toast levels increased the fruity descriptor for the wine changed from fresh to jammy to cooked fruit/raisin in character.
- The American oak had aromatic sweetness and a campfire/roasted coffee attribute present in all three toast levels, with Medium Plus and Heavy toast having the highest intensity.
- American oak had cooked fruit more than a fresh or jammy quality.
- American Oak imparted mouthfeel/fullness, especially in Medium Plus.
- The Hungarian oak at Medium toast displayed a high perceived-vanillin content, with roasted coffee, bittersweet chocolate and black pepper characters.
- Medium Plus and Heavy toast imparted mouthfeel fullness, with only a slight amount of campfire/roasted coffee. Heavy also had pronounced vanillin. At all toast levels, there were unique attributes such as leather and black pepper, not observed in other oak origins.
- The lower the toast, the more tannins ("structure") and lactones ("wood-like" and "coconut") will be present in each of the oaks.
- The higher the toast, the more spice and smoke notes will be present.
- The deeper the toast, the more deep the caramel tones will be (moving into butterscotch at medium plus).
- Vanilla will increase up through a medium-plus toast and then decrease with a heavy toast and char.
- American oak will be more aromatic, but French oak will give more structure (Hungarian will give less than the French but more than the American).
- The greater the toast level, the lower the lactones ("wood" and "coconut") for all three woods.
For more in-depth information on oak, please see our Oak Information Paper, as well as the "oak" sections of our Red Winemaking and White Winemaking manuals.

New York, NY (PRWEB) November 20, 2012
The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists last month warned that birth control pills containing drospirenone such as Yaz and Yasmin may have a higher risk of causing blood clots, according to the Chicago Tribune on October 24, 2012.
The warning comes as German drug maker Bayer reported to investors that it will reserve an additional $262 million to settle Yaz and Yasmin lawsuits, which have now passed 13,500 claims. The news was reported in the Legal Notes section of the Bayer Interim Financial Statement, September 30, 2012.
Bayer also confirmed that it is only settling claims involving blood clot injuries, such as deep vein thrombosis and pulmonary embolism, and has so far resolved about 3,490 injury claims at a total cost of nearly $750 million.
Anyone who suffered a blood clot, DVT, stroke or Pulmonary Embolism after taking Yaz or Yasmin is urged to contact the Drug Risk Resource Center or speak with a lawyer about their legal options.
Bloomberg News had reported on July 31st that Bayer was settling cases at an average of nearly $212,000 per case, however, the most recent report indicates the amount could be slightly higher.
In October of 2011, the FDA released a study entitled "Combined Hormonal Contraceptives and the Risk of Cardiovascular Disease Endpoints" which found that drugs like Yaz could increase the risk of blood clots, DVT and pulmonary embolism by as much as 74%.
A federal Multi-District Litigation court was established in Illinois to handle Yaz lawsuits filed by those injured. The formal case is known as Yasmin and Yaz (Drospirenone) Marketing, Sales Practices and Products Liability Litigation (MDL No. 2100, Southern District Illinois). The September 30 Bayer report indicates more than 13,500 patients have filed a claim.
The news of additional Yaz lawsuit settlements is positive for those injured who have yet to file a claim. However, time is limited and only certain cases may qualify.
Anyone who suffered a blood clot, DVT, stroke or Pulmonary Embolism and believes it may be due to taking Yaz or Yasmin is urged to contact the Drug Risk Resource Center or speak with a lawyer about their legal options.
The Drug Risk Resource Center cautions that victims should seek a lawyer with experience in defective drug litigation, and only recommends lawyers and law firms who have already settled Yaz lawsuits.
For more information on the research, side effects and litigation news related to Yaz and other drugs, or to speak with a lawyer, visit http://www.DrugRisk.com.

***Warning...the larger versions are fairly large files and you may have to wait for the file to load.
I'm basically an Angel Trumpet fanatic. I love Angel Trumpets sooo much that I've now have over 30 named varieties. Granted that there are only so many colors available in Angel Trumpets that alot of mine look alike, but trust me...they're not. In the same color family there are lots of variations. For example....in the pink family there are light, medium and dark pinks., there are pinks with white, pinks with yellow, pinks with a greenish tint and solid pinks
I have more than 20 Angel Trumpets planted in the ground and about 250 that are in pots. The potted Angel Trumpets are my new starts and the ones that I sell. The way that I got into raising and selling Angel Trumpets came naturally....I wanted to be able to provide a way for others to own and learn more about them. Alot of people are afraid to have Angel Trumpets because they are poisonous .... but remember this.... ALL plants are poisonous if consumed in large quantities or certain parts of them. I've even met people that were afraid to just touch an Angel Trumpet, afraid that it would poison them. I touch them all the time without gloves or any other protection. I pull leaves, blooms, seed pods and so forth off of them and I'm still alive...LOL.
Below is just a few of my Angel Trumpets. As time goes by I will be adding more.....lots more pictures.

Discussion in 'Steelhead' started by TomB, Feb 21, 2009.
WOW...that may be the dumbest thing i've ever heard!!:beathead:
Was on the upper Hoh today and it was confirmed 32+# native. Also saw a driftboat land a 12+# native using a knotted net, holding the SH out of the water so 4, 25 to 30 ish old gear guys could have their picture taken. I didn't make a fuzz, 4 young to 1 small senior, bad odds. No hook-up for me. Low water but a beautiful day.
The angler was from England not P.T. I'm also told he was not properly educated in the plight of wild steelhead. Not sure who was guiding him, but for what it's worth, he apparently felt horrible when many other anglers sadly watched as he took home the dead wild fish. Unfortunately the regs say it's legal. The fish was caught on the swing...amazingly. Water is extremely low and apparently the fish was already dark. May not have even had a chance to do it's thing...
I was also told that the mouth at the park boundry was filled with bank fishermen this morning. Also unfortunately....the were hearding ascending fish back down into the pool/estuary/ocean. Blocking their run as they tried to get up the one and only riffle leading to their spawning grounds.
I don't want to offend anyone who's posted their dissapointment in the angler because I think it is ultimately his responsibility. However, IMHO, I do think the only way to get to no kill is through public awareness.
Thank you for your post for as usual, you cut through the crap and spin and put the issue on the table as it should be. Kudos to you my friend.
Intellectual honesty is refreshing, especially when it illuminates irony and hypocrisy. This is a blood sport. Pain is inflicted, stress is induced for our enjoyment and sense of accomplishment. This is what we...I do.
"This above all, -to thine own self be true; And it must follow, as the night the day, thou canst not then be false to any man."
That being said, the killing of such a grand fish was unfortunate.
This is always so hard to get across over the internet and we have been here but here goes....
Inland and others aren't arguing that C&R is more ethical and doesn't harm fish. They are arguing that it is a better way to manage the resource than catch and kill.
What is more ethical? Treat the fish as a resource? Or treat the fish as a treasure?
IMO, most of the time "intellectual honesty" is people thinking way too much and I am as guilty of that as the next guy.
ak powder monkey-
Steelhead are incredibly diverse animals with large regional differences in behaviors and life histories. You seem to get yourself in trouble by assuming that the steelhead in Washington and Alaska are the same. Remember that many of the Alaska steelhead at the very limit of their range.
You information is correct for those Alaska steelhead, that is many of the fish are repeat spawners and many of the largest fish are indeed repeat spawners. Here in Washington in the approximate center of the steelhead range the situation is different. First the portion of the population that are repeat spawners is much lower; here in Puget Sound it is rare to see repeat spawning rates of more than 15% while at the northern limit of steelhead's range in Alaska it is not uncommon to see repeat spawning rates as high as 60% or more.
Here in Washington because to the biological demands associated with spawning a repeat spawning fish will be smaller than the of fish of similar age and freshwater rearing history that is spawning for the first time. Consider a pair of sister steelhead that leave their natal river as two year smolts (normal life history for Washington; those further north may be older smolts). One returns after two summers of ocean rearing (2-salt fish) as a typical 8 to 10 pound fish. After spawning that fish's weight will have dropped several pounds and portion of the next year's rearing will be dedicated to recovering from the losses associated with spawning and will return the next season typically as a 10 to 12 pound fish (each fish will be different). That fish's sister that is return for her first spawining after 3 summers of rearing (a 3-salt) will at a larger size; on the water I fish she would typically be a 12 to 18 pound fish.
I have had the pleasure of looking at scale samples from some large Puget Sound winter steelhead; including a couple that were of similar size of the fish discussed here. Nearly all those fish were first time spawners. Those very large fish typically were older fish (delayed age of first return) and the fastest growing fish of that age/life history.
Just an example of the importance of the fish's life history comes from the Sauk river in 1983 (the mother year of large steelhead in my fishing experience). As part of a wild brood stock collection program 3 7 year steelhead were sampled. One was a 43.5 inch male that weighted 31.5 pounds. That fish left the river as a two year smolt as was returning to the river for its first time. Another was a male that left the river as a 3 year smolt and was returning for the third time (had spawned twice) and weighted 16.5 pounds. The third was a female that had been a 2 year smolt and was also retruning for the 3rd time, it weight just over 20 pounds.
Bottom line taking regional generalizations and apply them globally can lead to erroneous results.
Tight lines
Thanks for filling in the details Curt!
Manimal makes a valid point - all fishing is a blood sport. If one truly believes that no wild steelhead should be killed then they should not be fishing steelhead. It really makes no difference to the resource whether 10% of the populations is killed in a "bonk" fishery, a CnR fishery or a WSR fishery (sorry Manimal that probably means that you should not be just targeting only hatchery fish because even then there is incidental impacts on the wild resource).
The real debate IMHO should be about what sort of impact/risk is acceptble to the wild resouce in question. Likey many would be comfortable with different impacts/risks depending on the status of the population in question. But where should that line be drawn; at zero, 2%, 5%, 10%, etc. is the question that needs resolution?
Only after the imapct/risk question has been address is it appropriate to discuss/debate the best way to use those impacts to provide recreational opportunities which is really more of a social/economic question than a biological one. Without addressing the first question while advocating CnR fishing over a kill fishery is little more than a resource allocation grab and we should not be surprised that such moves generate a blacklash from other users.
Flame away
A parable:
Once upon a time there was a great river. It ran free and wild from the glacial mountains all the way to the sea, and was filled with wild steelhead. Anglers fished it for years, and tradition and legend were powerful. Then, one year, the state decided that revenue generation was needed through increased fishing license sales. To that effect the state allowed a single wild steelhead to be harvested per angler-per day. Pressure increased, but no one was worried, after all, the river had over 30,000 returning wild fish per year. Ten years later the fishery collapsed. Everyone searched around for the culprit. Some blamed the Native Americans, others the foreign anglers. People blamed the commercial fishing boats out at sea, they blamed the cormorants, the seals, pollution, bears, etc.
They decided to have a meeting in the town hall to determine what had happened. Angry and concerned anglers and citizens filled the limited seats and spilled out into the aisles. For hours people spoke, expressing their opinions. Experts showed charts and graphs. Finally one old wizened soul with unsteady hands and hunched back went up to the lectern. "I been lis'nen to ya here, and I think I can tell ya what's what. I lived on dis here river all my life. I got three pounds 'a pretty pebbles in my pocket. I'm puttin them on this here table, and I want each of ya to come up here an' take just one."
The old man produced a mound of shiny polished colorful stones on the table, and each concerned citizen went forward to select just one from the pile. When they were done, there was just one semi-precious stone left. "Now I's gonna tells ya what happened to the fishes" the old man said. He slowly walked over to the single remaining stone, and grasping it gently between his shaking fingers, raised it up to the light, and then slowly placed it in his pocket.
"I got mine" he said.
He slowly walked out of the meet'n hall.
The citizens hung their heads, and muttered protests and realizations could be heard. "But I only just took the one..."
I don't think education is the ticket. It wasn't six years ago when this arguement started coming up, like we're still thinking it's an option. Not with human nature involved. And six years into the future, all this will come up a hundred times. The debate will stop when the OP fishery is just as lame as the "S"eattle-rivers.
Everybody and I mean everybody has a self-serving interest in steelhead. The loggers want logs, the commerical development guys money, the tribes a self governing destiny and money, the commercials money, the people of Forks, (although wrong in every way) the sustainment of their sport industry, and us the flyfishing catch and release guys want to catch and release fish. We release them with love and care so they can spawn so we can catch those offspring in 2-5 years. And some of them die in the process and even though most of the wild runs are near extinct we fight our asses off to keep catch and release seasons open so we can in theory pound a hook through an endangered species' head and then play them to near exhaustion and release them so they may spawn again. Then again they may head downriver 100 yards and roll over and die from either lactic acid build up or a busted artery or major heart failure - hell there are a dozen scenerios. This whole wholier than thou approach has aliented us from the majority of the steelhead world. And if you disagree, than why are folks still killing fish in Forks? Tell me why? Because our lobby is horseshit as is our elitist approach to other anglers. Number 1, the British angler broke no law. None whatsoever. It was a law for a week or two and then us Catch and Release superstars got the shit kicked out of us (as usual) by the Forks lobby. We come across as full of shit hypocites. We walk on redds, we overplay fish and we fish with gear that lends itself to over playing fish they say behind closed doors. And when it comes down to it, all we really want is to catch the same endangered fish they do, and we cover our bloodlust with a catch and release cover story. That's what they have been saying about us for years. We counter with our tearful eyed responses, talking about how much they mean to us and how they are the most beautiful thing in the world and then we drill another one and play it to near exhaustion. Where is this rant going boys? Fucking no where. Just as fish conservation, unity in our ranks (all anglers) and our steelhead runs have gone. To damn near extinction. So bash the fuck out of the guy who LEGALLY killed a 29 pounder. As usual, it reeks of elitism and goes nowhere. It's days like this that I don't miss that mess back home. I bleed the same colors you do, I make more mistakes than most and am more than human. But I quit walking around claiming catch and release to be a higher consciousness or a superior calling a long time ago. It is a conservation tool, nothing more, nothing less and is not even close to being a solution of any kind. It has as many self serving porposes as any of this other stuff. When we hang up our rods, and start walking the rivers as our own enforcement, when we start marching on Olympia, putting our hard earned money into net bans, challenging native american practices like they challenged ours, picketing, starting restaurant boycotts that are more than phone calls to chefs, uniting with the gear side catch and release advocates (believe me they exist and have money) and generally just kicking ass then I will truly believe that we actually want these fish to return like we tearfully claim to. Until then we are and will continue to be a paper tiger. Tight lines The Coach
Couldn't have said it any better Coach. We REALLY need to go fishing together. I think we'd have a great time. Or kill each other. LOL
The best management decisions are 1) made on the basis of objective data and 2) directed to the highest end...which in my mind is the continued existence of the species and an eventual return of them in substantial numbers. Steelhead that is, not catch-n-kill guys...
Current management decisions allow things that go against common sense, and it's usually in the name of commercial harvest or avoiding an uproar from the catch-m-and-club-m crowd. If I know a run is depressed I don't target them, which is why I'm usually fishing for hatchery brats these days. That's just responsible choice, and my choice alone. That's the first time I've mentioned it in these pages. The breaking point for a run of steelhead is commonly thought of as 1000 fish-999 signals big trouble and low chance of recovery. Those few fish don't need me driving a hook into their head.
Flyfishermen come across as elitist, or at least have that image-- maybe that's a hangover from the British snobbery that used to permeate the sport...and Coach, Smalma and others are dead on accurate, this should be looked at. Having knowledge is useless unless people listen to you.
Also, some ironclad guidelines for management decisions to protect a depressed run would be helpful...ESA listing shouldn't be the signal to start looking and deciding what protections to put in place....a realistic way to define a depressed run of fish would be a great starting point.
I feel like so many runs are in such bad shape that ALL fishing should be suspended in certain rivers, commercial/tribal/sport, until some substantial returns occur. That's a bitter pill to swallow, but the points about postrelease mortality, (inexperienced) fishermen walking on redds, etc are all valid points. Just because C&R flyfishing is less damaging to the resource doesn't make it consequence-free for wild fish survival.
In the meantime, bonk a hatchery brat for Jesus.
I heard that it was the guy's first time flyfishing...yes, first time!! beginners luck! I guess it was a legal fish??!! so if he didn't kill it the next guy would have.
If it was my fish, IT WOULD HAVE BEEN RELEASED!!!
Its a freaking blood sport. We both understand that. H&R FLY angling isn't wildlife photography or tree hugging. Involves a life or death struggle. Which, if practiced with some restraint towards reducing numbers of fish caught, leaves a statistically proven insignificant footprint.
Great story, everyone got their one and then there were none.
Thank you for noticing this among all the ranting.
As such a newcomer to fly fishing, especially steelhead in our wonderful OP rivers there is so much controversy in my head. Your story, although simple, is very impacting. There are so many great points. I believe that I'm confident with my plans, intentions and that I'm likely very little threat to catching these great fish. I will fish for hatchery fish if they are available. I will release wild fish, even if legal to keep one, unless of course my lack of skill proves to be the undoing of that poor beast. I shall pass judgement on no man yet stand by for many to pass judgement on me. Thanks again for the story.
Controversy... there is so much it is confusing. So many facts and opinions. Which is why I chose to tell a simple story through parable. Sometimes it is a simple way to cut through to the real issue. Allegory has a lot of power this way...

What's so good?
By sweeney kovar | Dec 07, 2012 | Total plays: 6,320
His signature live wire energy seemed a bit more tame, but I'm sure that's what six years of living like less than a human can do to a person. I assumed his glory was behind him, but I was wrong. Pleasantly wrong.
A few days ago, "Hit Me" hit the Internet. I can recall when I was in high school, reading a music journalist connecting Mystikal's voice and usage of it to James Brown's energetic performances. I used to wonder what it would be like if hardcore rapper Mystikal let himself veer more towards the direction and energy of The Hardest Working Man In Showbiz.
That's pretty much what "Hit Me" is. Over production as live as Mystikal himself, the N.O. rhymer interpolates JB from the jump, using ad-libs from "I'm Real" to begin the track. The song is a display of his seemingly rejuvenated energy in the form of a tribute to one of the greatest souls in modern music. After weaving some famous James Brown lines throughout, he shouts the Godfather of Soul out by name towards the end. Even the original lyrics are peppered with lines that almost sound like they could have been written in the 60's (when's the last time you heard an MC reference Abbot and Costello?). The coup de grâce though, is definitely when he imagines the reaction of two non-hip white folks witnessing his impressive demonstration with the short but impactful: "You hear that Helen?"

SOFI Listens to Daddy-a-Go-Go
By Jackie Burrell
Tuesday, August 4th, 2009 at 5:54 am in children's music.
Our favorite guest bloggers, Trine Gallegos and soon-to-be second grader Sofi, are back with more CD reviews! Any Daddy-a-Go-Go fans out there?
Daddy A Go Go: When I saw that "The Best of Daddy A Go Go (Volume 1)" featured "Come On, Get Happy" (TV's "Partridge Family" theme) and "Scooby Doo," I thought it was going to be a bust. But, no – it turned out to be a bust a move CD instead. The simple, straight ahead tunes hook you fairly quickly. My young music expert digs "Nana Nan Boo Boo" and "A Dog Named Boomer." And, while "Pink Floyd Saves Hugh Manatee" isn't the best offering, it most certainly wins song title of the year. This is a good addition to your kid-music pile.

Juba — As the whole world struggles to migrate from analog into digital communication systems, South Sudan's Ministry of Information and Broadcasting yesterday inked an agreement with ZTE, a Chinese Telecommunication Company, to assist the Republic of South Sudan meet the 2015 digital world initiative expectations.
According to the minister for Information and Broadcasting, Dr Barnaba Marial Benjamin, this 51 million dollar project only targets the first phase which revolves around equipment and infrastructure. He announced that the project will be funded by Chinese government through Exim-Bank.
Dr Benjamin emphasised that the government is keen to transform communication systems in the country from analog to digital in spite of the economic challenges it currently faces. He said this will be achieved through the support of friendly nations and development partners.
ZTE leaders emphasised that South Sudan has no option but move towards digital communication or risk exclusion. They said ZTE is committed to support South Sudan to take the necessary steps to realise the analog-digital migration in the shortest time possible.
