Members include Josiah Johnson (vocals, guitar, percussion), Jonathan Russell (vocals, guitar, percussion), Charity Rose Thielen (violin, vocals), Chris Zasche (bass), Kenny Hensley (piano) and Tyler Williams (drums). The Head and the Heart's music is a harmonic vocal blend mixed with piano, violin and prominent percussive elements. Pressed on Sonic Boom Records, the group sold over 10,000 copies of their debut 2009 album The Head and The Heart through concert appearances, word of mouth advertising and consignment sales at local record shops. Indie giant Sub Pop Records signed them in November 2010. The group have toured through the US and UK opening for prominent acts such as Vampire Weekend, The Walkmen, The Dave Matthews Band and The Decemberists. In March 2011, Seattle's City Arts Magazine named them Best New Band.

Thrust Into the Manure
Marlboro Man wasn't letting Ryan head back to Cincinnati Monday without making him work cattle first. He wanted Ryan to have a total ranch experience.
Plus, he was short on help that morning.
So it worked out splendidly.
They gathered the pastures of cattle first.
According to reports, Ryan hadn't been on a horse since he was five.
And right about now, I'm saying he wishes his inner thighs could be amputated.
I think it was the chaps. Chaps cover a multitude of inexperience.
Marlboro Man stuck Ryan back in the alley, which is where all the new guys have to go.
It doesn't matter whether you're a doctor, a lawyer, a minister, or a head of state…if you're the new guy, you're stuck back in the alley.
The job back here is to keep feeding calves into the alley and keep them moving toward the chute, where Marlboro Man is doing the dirty work.
My girls were back there with him, so they showed Ryan the ropes.
I'm sure he appreciated being shown the ropes by an eleven and nine-year-old.
Ryan jumped right in, though, keeping the calves moving along.
This, after having been kept awake by an allergy pill for all but 45 minutes the night before.
I almost felt sorry for the poor Pastor. But I was having too much fun.
Plus, I reminded myself that the guy hikes for days through the jungles of Honduras…so I wasn't too worried about him.
Wait. Are there jungles in Honduras?
You know, I say these things…then I just brace myself and hope they're right.
I think Marlboro Man enjoyed having Ryan along.
After growing up the youngest of three boys, it's nice to have plenty of people at lower points on the totem pole.
It was a pretty long morning of working calves.
And the whole time, Ryan smiled. I don't think he minds hard work one bit.
Though there did turn out to be one thing he decided he could do without.
I don't think the jungle of Honduras prepares anyone for this.
Have a wonderful Wednesday,
Pioneer Woman

What an awesome experience for Pastor Ryan.
He looked like he was having a great time.
Emily On Wednesday, May 20 at 12:17 pm
I wonder if the Star Trek producers used calf nuts as the model for tribbles?
Young Wife On Wednesday, May 20 at 12:19 pm
I bet the girls had fun showing an adult what to do!
StuffCooksWant On Wednesday, May 20 at 12:21 pm
Do they grow from the ground like that? Is that last pic your garden? Kind of like furry potatoes, huh?
Cindy On Wednesday, May 20 at 12:23 pm
I was wondering when we'd get a splendid new picture of some calf nuts!!! All I can say is…..THANKS!
Betsy On Wednesday, May 20 at 12:23 pm
afternoon everyone!!!
Sandra On Wednesday, May 20 at 12:24 pm
Due to slow i-net, I don't visit often but when I do, it's always a great visit. Your photos are beautiful, your way with words spicy…and sometimes tear jerking…but always heartfelt.
Thanks for being a blogger; Please visit another amazing woman's blog at theholyexperience.com. Her words are heartfelt too.
God's blessings on you, yours and the work of your hands and heart.
elle On Wednesday, May 20 at 12:24 pm
First i thought naturally they were poo. But i took another look and saw it was hairy poo. HAIRY?
I scrolled down, continue eating my chips and found the 'answer'.
Cindy On Wednesday, May 20 at 12:25 pm
Oh my gosh….#196!!! You made me laugh…."Do they grow from the ground like that"? HA HA HA HA!!!!!!
Cyndy On Wednesday, May 20 at 12:27 pm
YOu have a lamb?! Tell us about him!
Arika On Wednesday, May 20 at 12:31 pm
So didn't know what those things were! Thought they were some form of rodent. I am such a city girl. Would love my kids to grow up in the great outdoors. Gotta say I love all your pictures.
Sharon On Wednesday, May 20 at 12:39 pm
Pastor Ryan does have his own website, that he wrote about his trip to the ranch!
Wonderful photo's ree! I have to agree with the others, Pastor Ryan needs a Cowboy hat and some cowboy jeans
Thanks for sharing !
Becky On Wednesday, May 20 at 12:40 pm
Does Ryan have a website? I have a message for him about that rather interesting, painful looking earring of his.
Sharon On Wednesday, May 20 at 12:41 pm
Yes Pastor Ryan does, you can find it on the page, where ree is giving directions in his words for " The Bread"
jensamom On Wednesday, May 20 at 12:43 pm
Haven't seen pics of those in awhile! Looks like a fun time was had by all 2 legged critters.

sparkalicious On Wednesday, May 20 at 12:48 pm
AAGGHH! You blindsided us with calf nuts!!
(PS: Is that little white calf the one you first thought was a lamb? So did I, for a moment!)
Kim On Wednesday, May 20 at 12:50 pm
Do you ever play a matching game with the little pile of nuts? You know, see who can pair them back up fastest?
Linda On Wednesday, May 20 at 12:50 pm
Saw a stray pup showed up at your house. You havent posted about the Aussie Lady. Did it work out for your family?
Cate On Wednesday, May 20 at 12:52 pm
Ok — I know why Pastor Ryan's smiling — 'cause he wasn't given calf nuts as an ingredient…. tee hee..
jan On Wednesday, May 20 at 12:55 pm
well, I WAS going to ask what the "dirty work" was, but the last picture told me YIKES!
zeghsy On Wednesday, May 20 at 12:58 pm
haha! now there's a surprise ingredient.
Cyndi On Wednesday, May 20 at 12:59 pm
OMW! I thought the last picture was multi-colored baby chicks. I had to look at it a few times and scroll up and down looking at the other pictures to figure out what they really were. Don't laugh, I'm from the city. But, I wish you'd have a contest to invite the winner and a few friends to your ranch. I think I could hang for maybe a day or two. = )
kath On Wednesday, May 20 at 1:00 pm
Great story but what got me was that Ryan was kept awake by an allergy pill … maybe that's what happened to me last night. I never thought of it!
Linda On Wednesday, May 20 at 1:03 pm
Hi Ree,
Oh, you guys are sooo bad. I guess the Iniation is a Cowboy thingie! I mean they did do it to you, too.
I like Sabarina, #147 who wonders: "if they just fell off!!" And #99 has you down pat, "Girl, you just ain't right! lol".
Hope Charlie is far, far away from those little "Tribble" suckers. I remember he messed up the count real good a while back.
Pastor Ryan looks so handsome in Cowboy garb and that ear to ear smile is to die for. Just looks like an all round good guy.
Have a great Wednesday.
beyond On Wednesday, May 20 at 1:04 pm
calf nuts! we haven't seen any of those for a while… ryan has a cowboy stance, it must be the chaps.
Jenni in KS On Wednesday, May 20 at 1:12 pm
Dang. *That* should have been one of the ingredients in Pastor Ryan's cooking challenge.
Kathleen On Wednesday, May 20 at 1:12 pm
Okay wait – is THAT what you've meant all this time by calf nuts?? I guess I kinda didn't want to know. Or did I? I can't decide.
Martha Sue On Wednesday, May 20 at 1:12 pm
THAT made me laugh out loud…… so cute…
Katie On Wednesday, May 20 at 1:12 pm
I have two questions:
1. What is the actual purpose of chaps? What do they do? Is it like an apron for your legs?
2. What the crap is that in the last picture?!?!?!?
Kathleen On Wednesday, May 20 at 1:13 pm
Hm forgot to mention that I noticed only now how tall your 11-year-old actually is. About the same hight as Ryan. I wonder how he feels about that..
Ernestine On Wednesday, May 20 at 1:16 pm
Its those things again!
Ann On Wednesday, May 20 at 1:18 pm
That last photo was flipp'en hilarious in the saddest grossest way possible!

RD On Wednesday, May 20 at 1:23 pm
Good heavens! Give a little warning, won't you! Yes, let's see if Pastor Ryan can work his magic with those in the kitchen!
Jennifer On Wednesday, May 20 at 1:24 pm
wow…is that last picture what i think it is???????
Daisy On Wednesday, May 20 at 1:39 pm
awhile back u posted a pic of the very same thing…..I thought they were dead different color mice. now i know what they are…there balls…oh god I hope im right.
Kristi Wagner On Wednesday, May 20 at 1:39 pm
If I didn't know better I would think a bunch of bunny rabbits lost their tails
Calvin's Mom On Wednesday, May 20 at 1:42 pm
are those . . . and found my answer. Wow. If I had to draw them,I would not have made them like that. Interesting!! Hm! Hm! thanks Ree!
Emily Murdock On Wednesday, May 20 at 1:43 pm
Laughing OUT LOUD right now. Literally ROLLING ON THE FLOOR LAUGHING. (What is it that the texters say? ROTFL???)
Anyway, I looked at that picture and at first I said to myself, Oh, those poor little baby chickens! PW went and got herself some baby chickens and they DIED! How sad.
Then I looked closer and realized that it is the man-cows that are feeling sad. There was definitely a death, but holy moly, those are NOT chickens.
Joy On Wednesday, May 20 at 1:54 pm
Too funny! Loved the last shot, you never disappoint!!!
Sandy On Wednesday, May 20 at 1:57 pm
Where are the stray puppy with the brown eyes pics??? Who WOULD drop a puppy anyway? Sick people in this world. How is your new Border Collie doing by the way? We need an update on HER too! Are you going to keep the puppy??
Andrea On Wednesday, May 20 at 1:58 pm
I've GOT to stop reading your posts while I eat lunch. You gave us a heads up about the prolapsed uterus – not this? (It did make me giggle).
Jessica On Wednesday, May 20 at 2:05 pm
Are those what I think they are?!?
Veronica On Wednesday, May 20 at 2:07 pm
Did yall cut those nuts off or do they just fall off?!?!
Sue Kennen On Wednesday, May 20 at 2:11 pm
Another poster thought the same thing that I did. You should have had a cooking challenge for him with the calf nuts!
Looks like fun was had by all!
Ashley On Wednesday, May 20 at 2:22 pm
I just have to say that as I get ready to go help my sister and BIL up on the ranch they work on for my first branding session, etc, I LOVE your pictures and hope I can get some wonderful ones like you do.
Sandy On Wednesday, May 20 at 2:30 pm
You can just tell that Ryan is a good soul!!
Tammy On Wednesday, May 20 at 2:36 pm
Fabulous pictures! Glad I'm not the only one who thought the last pic was slaughtered baby chicks. OMG! We clamp, not cut. I honestly don't know why? I'm kinda happy we don't have those purty nuggets lying around though :-p
Sue On Wednesday, May 20 at 2:38 pm
I am glad I was not the only one who had to enlarge the last picture to see what they were. Your posts are always so much fun!!
Adrianne On Wednesday, May 20 at 2:40 pm
I hope those weren't his next cooking challenge! :-O lol
Sue On Wednesday, May 20 at 2:40 pm
I must admit it took me a minute to figure out what that last picture was?!? YIKES!!!
Lucy On Wednesday, May 20 at 2:45 pm
Give him a hat next time. He doesn't look the part.
mormonhermitmom On Wednesday, May 20 at 2:45 pm
Why would he be freaked out by a sight like that? He has grommets in his ears!
Sara On Wednesday, May 20 at 2:49 pm
I just want to know if you actually picked all those up and placed them in a pile to take the picture…
judykatie On Wednesday, May 20 at 2:54 pm
Ouch. Poor calves. Why is that necessary? Working calves means cutting their balls off?
Cathy On Wednesday, May 20 at 2:57 pm
It's not fair to just throw pictures like that in. NOT FAIR!
Susan in Colorado On Wednesday, May 20 at 3:00 pm
You know I love Pastor Ryan as much as the next girl that follows your blog.. but that ring in his ear… I can't look at it without skeeving out….I can handle the tattoos, a regular earring, but that HOLE.. I just can't look….But I still think he is great and his daughter and wife are beautiful!!
Barb in the OC On Wednesday, May 20 at 3:09 pm
Hi Ree,
I'm new to your site and I LOVE it … and you and MM and your kids and your cooking! AND you have re-inspired my too-long dormant love for photography! But, being a City Gal, I have to ask: HOW are the calf nuts gotten? If you've explained the process before, please tell me where to find this info. Your newest faithful reader needs to know if the sweet little calves suffer??
Sarah S On Wednesday, May 20 at 3:12 pm
It looks like he had a really good time! Did you guys make him work hard enough he looks way too happy!
PS I entered the icecream contest and put my wrong url on my entry. I did it from my blackberry and for the life of me I could not remember it Hope I still get to be in the contest!
Meg On Wednesday, May 20 at 3:18 pm
Oh gosh … it's been a long time since a nice photo of calf nuts.
Miranda On Wednesday, May 20 at 3:18 pm
Boy, I sure thought those were baby mice.
Jean Bainger On Wednesday, May 20 at 3:19 pm
I will never think like an easterner again. The rodeo will never be my only vision of the west, you have continue to show me the finest vision of it all.

cjwsbg On Wednesday, May 20 at 3:41 pm
No hat?
Debbie On Wednesday, May 20 at 3:42 pm
Prairie oysters should have been one of his mystery ingredients. Darn I should have thought of that. LOL
Cynthia Bevans On Wednesday, May 20 at 3:45 pm
So how would Ryan cook those…
Leslie On Wednesday, May 20 at 3:45 pm
So who's the guy wearing the long sleeved version of MM's shirt?
Mary S On Wednesday, May 20 at 3:46 pm
I think Ryan had an easier morning than some of those calves…by the look of that furry little pile.
Jill On Wednesday, May 20 at 3:47 pm
There are so many wonderful pictures of chaps, forearms, recipes, but I just had to cut and paste the one of the freshly removed "sacs" for all my friends who wonder why I read blogs.
Sandy On Wednesday, May 20 at 3:50 pm
Darn it! When you were asking for recipe ingredients, why didn't any of us think of calf nuts? Rocky mountain oysters would have REALLY been a challenge!
Vanessa On Wednesday, May 20 at 3:52 pm
As a faithfull follower of your blog I-a vegetarian-could have done without the last picture…
Caitlin On Wednesday, May 20 at 3:54 pm
looks like the pastor did some castrating… ear notching and branding as well?
Penny On Wednesday, May 20 at 3:54 pm
Alicia On Wednesday, May 20 at 4:02 pm
We just made a pile that looks just like that this morning. And we all smelled like roses afterward.

"I almost felt sorry for the poor Pastor."
That sounds, so…
Jane On Wednesday, May 20 at 4:33 pm
Let me ask you this, is their local anesthesia used when you slice off a calf's nuts?
Rabbithounds On Wednesday, May 20 at 4:33 pm
What was that lamb doing in there?
Married to an Aussie in OK On Wednesday, May 20 at 4:43 pm
AAAAAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHA!!!! I love the last photo the best… though any of them with Pastor Ryan in them are treats
RobynnsRavings On Wednesday, May 20 at 4:44 pm
Uh, um, are those uh…..yep, they are. Should have a set taxidermed for Ryan and send 'em as a reminder. Wouldn't they make a beautiful addition to any home? Hey, when you go to market with that idea, you be sure to remember me now and have me, Grizzly, and the younuns out to visit. You can put Grizzly in the alley all day if you want. He's tough.
If you ever need a medicine woman, maybe you should read this:
Brooke On Wednesday, May 20 at 4:51 pm
I must admit, never in my life have a seen a picture of a pile of those
Jana On Wednesday, May 20 at 5:00 pm
Pastor Ryan is hot. Is that inappropriate?
april On Wednesday, May 20 at 5:06 pm
Look, I'm commenting!
I'm so proud that he wore the chaps!!!!
Also, the notch in the calf ear and the notch in Pastor Ryan's ear….they both make me a bit light headed. Please pass the band-aids!
Wendy M On Wednesday, May 20 at 5:08 pm
I saw a lot of funky things in the jungles of Honduras, but calf nuts were not one of them!

I wish we had a Pastor Ryan out here!
Theresa in Alberta On Wednesday, May 20 at 5:45 pm

Denise On Wednesday, May 20 at 6:15 pm
Pastor Ryan looks like a natural. I"m sure he enjoyed the experience. I was wondering what happened at the other end of that shute. Now I know! I've never seen that before. OUCH!
Jenny On Wednesday, May 20 at 6:16 pm
Well there's a picture you don' t see every day when you sit down to the computer with a popcorn snack. I had to put my popcorn down for a moment.

Singapore group cautious on Rangers bid
A Singaporean consortium bidding to take over ailing Scottish football club Rangers on Tuesday expressed cautious optimism that it will succeed after a rival backed out.
Businessman Bill Ng, the head of the five-man consortium, confirmed it was in talks with investment firm Ticketus, which had helped finance the Glasgow club's current owner Craig Whyte's takeover last year.
"The apparent withdrawal from the bidding process by the Blue Knights means only that the chances of taking over increases for the two remaining bidders left in the process," Ng told AFP.
"We cannot comment on the chances of us taking over Rangers as there are various factors being considered by the administrators," Ng said, who is chair of Singapore football club Hougang United.
Another bidder, US businessperson Bill Miller, remained in contention and Ng said he was unaware of the details of Miller's offer for the club.
"I only know what I can do and what my plans are for the club, if I am successful," he said.
"I believe it is more important for me to stay focused at this point of time and prepare for our ground works, regardless of the result of the announcement by the administrators."
Ng, a director with a private equity firm, told AFP last week his consortium had placed a GBP 20 million ($31.7 million) bid and said his move was motivated mainly by love for the 140-year-old club.
After the Blue Knights stepped aside late Monday, British media reported the Singapore group was expected to be named the preferred bidder.
The Blue Knights, fronted by former Rangers director Paul Murray, had been invited to enter into exclusive talks with administrators Duff and Phelps with a view to locking up a deal.
However Murray's group said they were unable to match the terms of a deal agreed by the Singapore consortium and Ticketus.
Ng stressed Tuesday that his consortium was still in talks with Ticketus.
"We have not agreed any terms with Ticketus at the moment. Ticketus have approached our representatives in the UK for talks but these are all discussions. No agreement has been reached."
Administrators were called in to Rangers on February 14 after British tax authorities went to court to seek payment of an unpaid bill of GBP 9 million that had built up since Whyte took charge at Ibrox in May.
The bid by Ng's consortium marks the second time investors from the wealthy city-state have attempted to buy a British football club.
Singaporean billionaire Peter Lim in 2010 attempted unsuccessfully to buy English football club Liverpool for 320 million pounds.

A wheelage fee will not be coming to Saint Louis County after a board decision Tuesday.
The tax would have charged people a $10 dollar wheelage fee on vehicles raising about $1.5 million annually for road projects.
Commissioners said many Saint Louis County residents were in opposition of the tax.
A wheelage tax has long been an option for counties near the metro area. The 2013 legislature expanded the option for all counties with a deadline of August 1.
The tax could be taken up again next year.

The $5 Kinect Mount
mount1 The key to the mount is 3M's Command wall hooks. They use an adhesive that sticks very well to smooth walls, but can be removed cleanly and quickly. I used 3M's small keychain hooks, rated to hold a half pound each. The Kinect itself weighs slightly less than a pound, so the six hooks included in a package are more than enough to handle the sensor.

To appreciate just how far away Mars is from Earth, consider this: it takes 14 minutes for communications to make a round trip – 7 minutes to get there and 7 minutes back. That's with radio waves travelling at the speed of light. That's just one of the many challenges that NASA engineers faced when planning the mission for the Mars Curiosity rover, which launched in November. The Rover itself will land on the surface of Mars in the morning of August 6th or late at night on August 5th, depending on your time zone.
Now consider this – when the rover hits the atmosphere on Mars, it will be on the ground 7 minutes later. That means that when NASA gets the signal that the rover has hit the atmosphere, the rover will already have landed – or crashed. So the entire process will be automated. To appreciate what an insanely difficult task this is, NASA and the Jet Propulsion Laboratory have put together this video, which describes every insane engineering step in detail. Watch it:
The video reminds me of one of my favorite exchanges from Batman Begins between Bruce Wayne and Lucius Fox:
Bruce Wayne: "Am I meant to understand any of that?"
Lucius Fox: "Not at all, I just wanted you to know how hard it was."
I'll definitely be staying up late to watch the landing.

Read Poems by
Arcene Janvier
Life is hard, tough, rough, like a brilo-pad
Growing up, street smart was all I had
I had no choice but to turn to the hood
It's difficult trying to change for the good
What do you do when there's nowhere to turn?
Before you decide, look back, what did you learn?
Try to survive, I'm gon' do the same
Stuck in this world, heart full of pain
Money cover evil, trying to stay sane
Cash keeps flowing, like blood to the brain
Rappin' ain't like hustling, it's a whole different game
came through a struggle, my ankle got a sprain
Haters don't care, nobody gon' look out
Everybody's grillin', but this ain't a cookout
Bullets keep flyin', that's what the scare's about
Life's rough, like the stuff between tile, grout
The hood's full of hate, what happened to love
Too many little misfits, like a tiny glove
Put haters in dirt, that's what I call gardenin'
My heart's colder than water, when it starts hardenin'
Call me care-free, I ain't got no worries
Life don't always end well, like fairy-tale stories

You got to be kidding! Maybe once a year. Read only as far in the nutrition, "35g fat..." and stopped there. About the only recommendation would come from a cardiac surgeon who needs the practice to keep his skills up, or has a kid going to college and needs to fund that.
I made this with low fast chicken sausage and we loved it and the nice part is the fat was SO MUCH LOWER - 6 grams per serving.
7 Ratings
It was a great base for a recipe! i substituted 6 links of hot italian sausage i already had and instead of green peppers i used very finely chopped celery and carrots. for the seasoning i used some sweet basil, chili powder and a little italian seasoning. I also used low-fat, low-sodium chicken stock instead of water to add some more flavor. the recipe was a hit and i will be making it again : ]
we loved these! i used a can of manwich instead of the seasoning and tomato paste though. and i just bought hot sausage patties instead of bob evans. tasted like a hot sausage sandwich. i didn't add the peppers though, just onion.
Very yummy, gives plain sloppy joes some spice! don't like the extra calories, but sometimes the splurge is worth it! I've used venison sausage too and is equally as good.

Rihanna Is Releasing A Remix Of "Birthday Cake" With A Cameo That Will "Shock The World"
Rihanna is releasing a remix of "Birthday Cake" from Talk That Talk next week, and producers Da Internz (Tuo and Kosine), while remaining coy, have said the remix will feature a cameo that will, "Shock the world." Obviously, the only person who could possibly be a shock to the world on a Rihanna song would be Chris Brown — and so we wait with baited breath for what could possibly be the biggest train wreck of the year, praying for Rihanna that it's all sensationalism and that instead she chose a nice guy like Drake for the part.

Adele Is Heading Back To The Recording Studio After All
It seems that Adele confused years for days when she told US Vogue she was going to "f**k off for four of five years." She's now rescinded the remark with a blog post reading, "I've a few days off now, and then it's the Brit Awards here at home and then I'm straight into the studio. BOOYAH! 5 years? More like 5 days!" And the world releases a collectively held breath. Phew. [Rolling Stone]
Hear 60 Seconds Of Garbage's New Song "I Hate Love"
You can now hear a snippet of Garbage's new track "I Hate Love" from Not Your Kind Of People, the band's first album in seven years. It starts off a little euro-dance and our first thought was "Oh no…" but then Shirley Manson started singing and everything was OK again. [Consequence Of Sound]
Green Day Are Recording A New Album
Green Day front man Billie Joe Armstrong revealed via Tweet that the band is finally back in the studio recording a new album. We know it's a long shot, but we're hoping for a Dookie style renaissance regardless. If the 60 seconds we heard of Garbage's comeback was anything to go by though, we're probably going to get some club-led beats from Green Day too. All we can do now is hope. [NME]

Best Practices For Maintaining Coolant Quality*
Excerpt from TLT's Feature Article in August 2012, The Growth of Biobased Metalworking Fluids by Jean Van Rensselar. Read the rest of the article here when it's available.
Coolants need to be filtered and recycled regularly and the equipment completely cleaned at least annually. Assuming that workers are continuously removing metal chips and tramp oil, the Ohio EPA recommends the following coolant system cleaning practices for maintaining optimal fluid quality:

As part of a larger assessment of the impact of hurricane Floyd on the estuary of the Neuse River and adjacent waters of Pamlico Sound, North Carolina, we sampled the top 2 cm of sediment at 24 previously visited stations (shown in Figure 1) in November 1999. er 1999. The location of each sampling point is given in Table 1. The range of ammonia values was generally two orders of magnitude higher than that found at the same stations in 1998, but the analytical methods were not identical between years. Elevated concentrations of total Kjeldahl nitrogen (TKN) and total phosphorus (TP) were found together at several stations, scattered down-river from New Bern into the open waters of the Sound [see in particular the data in Table 2 from stations 407, 410, 411, 416, 417, 040, and 041]. The highest values of TKN and TP were comparable to the range of values reported from 1981-1982 at six stations in the Neuse and Pamlico estuaries by Matson and others (WRRI Report No. 191, NCSU), but most values were one to two orders of magnitude lower. Ammonia levels appeared to vary with TKN, whereas nitrate-nitrite N was relatively constant among stations. Secchi depth readings showed that there was little light penetration to the bottom at most stations, and plant life was essentially absent. These results may suggest that wasteload inputs from flood-born sediments were being denitrified after deposition. Other parameters being analyzed for the hurricane assessment include sediment contaminant levels and benthic infaunal community structure.
This project was a cooperative effort of several organizations interested in the environmental health of the Albemarle-Pamlico estuarine system.

New Report: Rooftop Revolution Changes Everything with Cost-Effective Local SolarThe content that follows was originally published on the Institute for Local Self-Reliance website at http://www.ilsr.org/new-repor-rooftop-revolution-changes-everything-with-cost-effective-local-solar/
Within ten years, 100 million Americans in the nation's largest cities will be able to get cheaper electricity from rooftop solar than their utility provides. That's just the opening salvo from a new report from the Institute for Local Self-Reliance. "Rooftop Revolution: Changing Everything with Cost-Effective Solar," not only illustrates the enormous, emerging potential for local solar power, but also describes how the rules of the electricity system must change now for the electricity system to be ready for the decade's energy democracy opportunity.

Robin I really thank you for what you have done. But I'm asking you to let me write a Bio for my pastor and his wife. He was more than a pastor to the O'Shields Family. If you got sick Bro' Cave was there. When my mother was real sick in the hospital Bro' Cave always was there. I thank them both Sister Cave and my mother taught Sunday school at Mountain Creek Baptist Church. Thank you Robin.

My great great grandfather has the same name as the person buried in Springwood Cemetery. The date of birth is a close match, but the date of death isn't. My ancestor lived in Dade County GA and died due to a train engine explosion---he worked for the railroad. Per my research he passed in the late 1880s, and a later census listed his wife as a widow. Unfortunately, this is the only tombstone that I have come across on Find a Grave that bears the name of my ancestor. I searched the cemetery that my father had said he was buried in and could not find his grave. I know you are not researching this family, but if you do come across any info on this particular person, I would be interested in hearing from you. Thank you. Renae Smith

'Situation: I am able to type only using my right hand. I recently "inherited" a very nice SONY viao laptop, I love using it when I'm away from my desktop.
Problem: This laptop has separate (inverted T") cursor keys. Unfortunately it does not have separate keys for numbers, page-up,down pg-dn home, and end. To get those functions one must press a "Fn" key located between the left ctrl and windows keys. I cannot do this with one hand. (If it were on the right side ofg the space bar it would be no problem!)... I spoke with the Folks at Sony and the told me that the "Fn" key is intercepted before it gets to windows, so standard key remapping won't work. I've had limited only success using AHK to remap alt or ctrl with the cursor keys to the required functions (it appears that odd thins happen where ctrl or alt lead to ctrl + alt being received.
What might help??: I'd like to be able to choose an otherwise unused key, like scroll lock, to act as a modal switch to turn on the alternate meanings for the cursor. It seems like AHK could allow me to do this, but I'm not sure exactly how to accomplish this.
Any help in this regard will be appreciated.

Mithril dragon/Strategies
< Mithril dragon
this wiki
Mithril dragons are among the most difficult solo dragon fights in RuneScape. With very high defence, immunity to mithril weapons and immunity to standard poisons, long range firebreath and an attack that encompasses all three combat styles, these dragons can quickly kill an unprepared player. Stat boosters and good food are necessary for anyone wishing to obtain more than a handful of kills. Players should always keep their prayer on; the dragon's range on finding a target is from 8-12 squares away from it. High healing food should always be a must when hunting mithril dragons, as only a few, very experienced, very high-level players find themselves capable of a successful trip without food, and even these players find themselves aided by healing familiars such as a unicorn stallion. Therefore, players who have not invested time into training Summoning will find themselves at a huge disadvantage as healing familiars or beasts of burden will help a player extend their trip.
Since the Evolution of Combat, the effectiveness of Dragonbane Bolts has decreased dramatically. The use of earth spells and super antifire potions proves much more effective, out-hitting ranged weaponry (provided the player has very high Magic and Defence levels).
Mithril dragons are immune to the effects of poison, and almost completely impervious to mithril-based weaponry. As a result, enchanted emerald bolts are ineffective. One approach to mithril dragons is ranging using enchanted ruby and diamond bolts. The ruby bolts' special effect will remove a sizable portion of the opponent's life points (up to 508, if it's full hp) and diamond will decrease their ranged defence. Ruby should only be used while the target is above half health, below half and the special effect will start to take away smaller portions that could be hit without the enchanted effect.
Alternatively, after completion of Ritual of the Mahjarrat quest players may find dragonbane bolts or dragonbane arrows effective against mithril dragons, potentially outperforming even runite bolts.
Karil's, royal d'hide armour, or armadyl armour is a much better choice over black dragonhide because of the increased defence and life point bonuses. The Protect from Missiles prayer or Deflect Missiles curse is recommended when using ranged, especially for players with lower defence who are not using a dragonfire shield. The Sap Mage curse also works well, reducing the dragon's defence and magic, though you may have to compensate for the extra prayer with more potions and/or focusing more on prayer-boosting gear. At least a level 70 weapon is required, otherwise you will not hit very often.
If prayer drain is not an issue, a player using curse prayers can use Deflect Magic and Leech Ranged, efficiently making you stronger and the dragon weaker.

- Ruby bolts (e) and Diamond bolts (e) or Dragonbane Bolts
If players are using ranged against the dragons, it is highly recommended to use the dragons that are isolated from each other to prevent an additional attack against the dragons as their magic attack tends to hit often against even Armadyl and Karil's armour. Attacking the two isolated dragons will prevent this and save food. If using Sagies, players should always use them due to the Sagaie's effect at long-ranged distances and the other dragons are too close to prevent the full effect of it from happening.
Bring the recommended equipment, overloads or extreme potions, prayer potions, and a holy wrench to increase your prayer restoration. If you have 88 Summoning, a unicorn stallion is recommended for fast healing. However, a bunyip on its own is still very useful for those who do not have access to the unicorn.
Upon arriving at the mithril dragons, turn on Protect from Melee, drink your antifire, and boost up your stats using Piety/Superhuman Strength/Turmoil prayers. You should activate Protect from Melee as the dragon's melee attack is its strongest, hitting up to 282 life points.
Mithril dragons have moderate defence against melee attacks, but at high attack and strength levels, they can still be killed effectively with melee, provided at least chaotic weaponry is used. At the very least, you will need a level 75 weapon to deal efficient damage with them - any lower and you might spend considerable time and waste food trying to kill one dragon.
Full void (melee) is also an effective way to kill mithril dragons, but dangerous due to low life point and armour bonuses. If you have 88 Summoning and 92 Prayer, you can use Soul Split and/or a unicorn for additional healing, though the former can be very dangerous on its own due to the dragon's high max hit, which it will hit frequently even against high level armour. If you have 96 Summoning, the unicorn is not needed if you bring some food and a pack yak, and are good at switching Soul Split and Deflect Melee, this way allows you to use the yak to bank bones and drops.
Players can completely avoid the dragon's melee attack by stepping 1 square away when it is the dragon's attack turn then walking back to attack the dragon and quickly walking away again for the dragon's attack turn. Being at a distance will mean the dragon will always use either its ranged or magic attack. Players can then use either Protect from Magic or Protect from Ranged to reduce damage from one of its attacks and heal after being hit with the other attack.
If using melee, it is highly advised to target the three dragons in the middle as this prevents running from one area to another and is effective at finishing a task quickly if you manage to pull off a string of lucky hits on the dragon. It also saves running energy if you are low on supplies to finish the task off. However, it can be dangerous as all three dragons in the area will be attacking at once, and withstanding their hits can be difficult.
Recommended stats
Recommended equipment
- Full slayer helmet (with mithril dragons as task) > Slayer helmet > Black mask > Zamorak Halo (if using Turmoil) > Helm of neitiznot
- Ganodermic poncho > Karil's top > Armadyl chestplate >Black d'hide body
- Karil's skirt > Armadyl chainskirt > Black d'hide chaps
- Dragon slayer gloves > Culinaromancer's Gloves
- Steadfast Boots > Dragon boots > Rune boots
- Soul Wars Cape > Fire Cape > Ardougne Cloak 3 > Cape of accomplishment
- Amulet of fury > Amulet of glory
- Drygore weaponry (mace advised for its Prayer bonus) > Chaotic weaponry > Godsword/Zamorakian spear/Saradomin sword > Abyssal vine whip
- Dragonfire shield > Anti-dragon shield
- Onyx ring (i)> Berserker ring > Explorer's ring 3 or Ring of life
- Reverence aura
This setup is used for a good outcome with super anti-fires, a powerful melee weapon, prayer, and food. You will often be using extreme sets, super antifires, and high healing foods such as rocktails. Prayer potions may also be needed if praying against melee.
- Full slayer helmet (with mithril dragons as task) > Helm of neitiznot/Verac's helm if using protect from magic.
- Ganodermic Poncho > Karil's top if using protect from melee/Verac's Brassard if using protect from magic.
- Ganodermic Leggings > Karil's skirt if using protect from melee/Verac's Plateskirt if using protect from magic.
- Dragon Slayer Gloves > Culinaromancer's gloves if not on slayer
- Dragon Boots
- Soul Wars Cape > Ardougne Cloak 3 > Fire cape
- Amulet of Fury > Amulet of glory
- Drygore weaponry (mace advised for its Prayer bonus) > Chaotic weaponry > Godsword/Zamorakian spear/Saradomin sword > Abyssal vine whip
- Dragon Defender > Dragonfire shield
High Level Setup
This setup is useful for anyone with access to elite void and the deflector. It focuses purely on using prayer and a unicorn to stay alive, eliminating the need to bring food. Note: This is a high level setup; you must have extremes, chaotics, turmoil, and 88 Summoning to make full use of this setup. If done correctly, one can last a full unicorn getting upwards of 60 kills a trip. You should bring a bonecrusher, Unicorn scrolls, and a teleport. 2 extreme attacks + strengths, 3 super anti-fires, 2-4 spec restore potions, and then nothing but prayer potions. Prayer renewals can be extremely useful here. You can substitute 3 prayer potions for 2 renewals and an extra spec restore
The tactic used here is to start in Edgeville or the NW Grand Exchange booth. Have unicorn already summoned and use the fairy rings to get into the caves. (Note: Doing Fairy Tale III - Orks Rift allows you to save space by not having to take a staff to use the rings)
Once you've arrived, take a sip of anti-fire, pray Protect from Magic and run up the stairs to the mithril dragons. Run to the centre area where there are 3 spawns. Take a dose of your extremes and a prayer renewal, activate Berserker, Deflect Melee and Turmoil. The bonecrusher eliminates the need to bury the bones. You should re-pot when your stats hit around 110 (assuming 99 Attack/Strength). Attack the first dragon, click on Deploy Dreadnip, attack the dragon again, and then summon the dreadnip. Ensure the dreadnip can attack the dragon; this will significantly raise kills per hour.
When you get low on health, start to flash Soul Split, as your unicorn alone won't be able to keep up with healing, especially if your antifire drops or the dragon spams magic or ranged attack.
- Void Melee Helm
- Elite Void Top

High level earth spells are one of the most effective options for maging mithril dragons, with Earth Surge and Shadow Barrage being optimal while Earth Wave and Shadow Blitz will still suffice. This comes at the cost of the player's own defence as magic armour is most effective against melee users, which will not be of any use at a distance. Hence, praying Protect from Ranged is recommended. Also, because of the negative effect of Saradomin brews being less disruptive to mages than to rangers and meleers, it may also be used as food source to significantly lengthen the trip, though it can disrupt the use of higher levelled abilities. Blood Blitz is also a very good spell to use against mithril dragons as the healing effect almost eliminates the need for food, at the cost of slightly less accuracy due to being a fire spell and not an earth spell. The polypore staff is highly effective and cheap and it requires no runes so more inventory space is available for food or potions, but the Polypore Strike spell is an air spell rather than an earth spell, so this comes at a slight accuracy cost. Using this method in conjunction with 88 Summoning (for the unicorn stallion familiar), it's not uncommon to exceed 50 kills per trip.
The curses Sap Mage or Leech Mage and Leech Defence will be immensely helpful when using magic since the benefit goes both ways, though if reducing the amount of damage taken isn't an issue then the normal prayers are recommended giving considerably higher magic accuracy.
Recommended stats
Recommended equipment
- Full slayer helmet (with mithril dragons as task) > Third age mage hat > Ganodermic Visor > healer hat > Ahrim's hood* > Void mage helm
- Arcane stream necklace > Amulet of fury > Third age amulet > Amulet of glory
- Virtus robe top > Ganodermic poncho > Ahrim's top* > Third age robe top > Elite void knight top > Void knight top
- Ganodermic Leggings > Ahrim's robe* > Third age robe bottom > Elite void knight robe > Void knight robe
- Spellcaster Gloves > Ganodermic gloves > Barrows gloves > Dragon gloves > Void knight gloves > Mystic gloves
- Ragefire boots > Ganodermic boots > Infinity boots > Batwing boots
- Dragonfire shield > Anti-dragon shield (Using a staff or a wand and orb/book in conjunction with super antifire potions tends to be far more effective than using a wand and anti-dragon shield. Though one will take more hits due to the dragonfire, the kill time per dragon is drastically reduced due to the increased damage and accuracy).
- Completionist Cape > Max Cape > Skillcape > God cape > Ardougne cloak 3/4
- Seers' ring (i) > Onyx ring (i) > Dragonstone ring (i) > Tokkul-Zo > Seers ring > any other Mobilising Armies ring
- Seismic wand > Chaotic staff/Virtus wand > Armadyl battlestaff > Polypore staff/Staff of light > Ahrim's staff/Blisterwood staff/Wand of treachery/Ahrim's wand
'*'Note : Ahrim's robes (top, robe and hood) can be replaced with Akrisae gear (for the prayer bonuses) if you have completed Ritual of the Mahjarrat.
- Normal prayers: Augury > Mystic might (along with Protect from Ranged)
- Ancient curses: Leech mage > Sap mage (along with Deflect Ranged)
Players with access to super antifire potions are recommended to use a void knight deflector (if using void), arcane spirit shield, mages' book or unholy book if using ancient magicks.
One of the more effective methods is to use full void (magic) but replace the body with ahrim's robe top, but this requires a void knight deflector be worn (which excludes the celestial surgebox and all players below 85 Herblore). Otherwise, full void magic's effect alone results in less magical accuracy than full Ahrim's (non-applicable after the Evolution of Combat updates, as accuracy is no longer derived from armour).
The prayers Augury and Mystic Might are helpful while casting spells against dragons. Even at 86-90 Magic, the dragon tends to hit often even with the best magic armour given. Using these prayers, combined with an excellent offensive spell will increase your damage output and make the dragon's attacks hit less often.
Storm of ArmadylEdit
The Storm of Armadyl spell can be very effective against mithril dragons. While the armadyl runes used to cast the spell can be expensive, for wealthy players the increased kill speed may be worth the cost. If on a Slayer task, using the hexcrest/full slayer helmet, wearing the arcane stream necklace, and using magic focus scrolls, extreme magic potions, or overload potions the spell can hit over 500 at a very quick rate of one attack every 2.4 seconds if using the armadyl battlestaff. The armadyl battlestaff is recommended over other staves because it increases the attack speed of the spell.
Recommended stats
- 90 Magic
- 92 Prayer (for the Soul split curse)/77 Prayer (For the augury prayer)
- 85+ Defence (for ganodermic armour)
Recommended equipment
- Full slayer helmet (with mithril dragons as your slayer assignment) > Ganodermic visor > Virtus mask > Ahrim's hood
- Arcane stream necklace > Arcane blast necklace > Amulet of fury > Third age amulet > amulet of glory
- Ganodermic poncho > Virtus robe top > Ahrim's robe top
- Ganodermic leggings > Virtus robe legs > Ahrim's robe bottoms
- Spellcaster gloves > Barrows gloves (Anyone who has access to the Storm of armadyl spell will have access to level 10 culinaromancer's gloves)
- Ragefire boots > Infinity boots > mystic boots
- Arcane spirit shield > Mages' book > Anti-dragon shield
- God cape > Ardougne cloak 3/4 > Spellstorm drape > Soul wars cape > Skill cape
- Seer's ring (i) > Onyx ring (i) > Dragonstone ring (i) > Seer's ring > Tokkul-zo
- Armadyl battlestaff
- Vampyrism, Reverence, or Penance aura (not necessary but helpful)
- Armadyl runes (a task of about 20 dragons will consume 200-350 runes, depending on your magic level and damage boosts)
- Super antifire potions (or antifire potions if using anti-dragon shield)
- Magic focus scrolls and a wolpertinger pouch, overload potions, or extreme magic potions
- 8-10 prayer potions
- Emergency food
- Enhanced Excalibur
- A teleportation method (e.g. Teleport tab)
- Enchanted gem/Slayer ring (To check kills remaining)
If using Ancient Curses with 92+ Prayer and ganodermic armour, it is recommended that you stand away from the dragons' melee range and pray Deflect Missiles, and to use Soul Split curse when low on health. If using wolpertinger + magic focus scrolls, use the wolpertinger's special attack at the start of every kill. Bring a few pieces of food for tough situations. If using overloads and Virtus, saradomin brews can be used to fit a lot of life points into one inventory slot.
Familiars will significantly extend the number of kills per trip, the most popular being the bunyip and fruit bat for their ability to restore a player's life points. The elemental titans are a step up from the bunyip and Fruit bat, negating the need to bring down a super defence potion with its active scroll ability boosting the summoner's Defence and life points. Finally, the unicorn stallion can help the player get up to 60 kills per trip, assuming the player receives some shark drops.
Familiars cannot be taken through the whirlpool, however a beast of burden can still be used to carry extra supplies. This technique entails dismissing your familiar on the dock, going through the whirlpool, dropping an amount of supplies equal to what your familiar was carrying, then using a games necklace to teleport to the Barbarian Outpost, retrieving the supplies dropped by your familiar, going through the whirlpool, then summoning the same beast of burden and retrieving the supplies you dropped on the other side of the whirlpool. The problem however, is that if you cannot get the items in time, they can either disappear or another player using the waterfalls can take those items.
By taking 5 bittercap mushrooms and a spade to a spot of Enchanted Soil near the waterfiends in the western part of the Ancient Cavern, you can create a fairy ring to Zanaris (after Fairy Tale II - Cure a Queen). You can bring a familiar through the fairy ring, which allows beasts of burden full of food to be brought to the mithril dragons, increasing your output of dragons killed per trip.
Another method of bringing a beast of burden into the Ancient Caverns with a full supply of food is using the ferocious ring, which is obtained randomly when fighting creatures in Kuradal's Dungeon. The Ferocious Ring allows for teleportation close to the Dragonforge which is located on the other side of the Ancient Cavern.

Allie Coffey and William Stuart aren't old enough to hold public office yet, but on Thursday, they got a taste of the busy schedule that public officials keep.
Allie, 10, and William, 9, are local semifinalists of the Maryland Municipal League and Maryland Mayors Association's "If I Were Mayor, I Would..." contest. They got a behind-the-scenes look at the city of Rockville as they spent the day with Mayor Bridget Donnell Newton and other town officials and staff.
Allie attends Ritchie Park Elementary School and William goes to the St. Raphael School. Both are in fourth grade.
Their itinerary included a tour of the city's police department and a ride in a police car; a trip to the Department of Public Works' Large Equipment Show, where they got personalized street signs; a tour of the Croydon Creek Nature Center; and lunch with Newton at Clyde's at the Tower Oaks Lodge.
The students also will take part in Rockville's Memorial Day parade on Monday and will read their essays and help Newton preside over the City Council's June 2 meeting.
William's essay centered around forming a festival for kids to meet other people their age, sign up for camps and classes, and share ideas for improving the city with the mayor.
Allie wrote about creating clubs to encourage the recycling of juice boxes, chip bags and other items besides paper, plastic and bottles.
The essays are a great way to get kids thinking about what it takes to run a city, Newton said.
William also got to discuss his idea with former mayor and Montgomery County Executive Douglas M. Duncan. Allie spoke with former Mayor Phyllis Marcuccio.
Duncan is running for county executive in the June 24 Democratic primary.
Allie said her favorite part of being mayor for a day was visiting the nature center, where she got to touch a corn snake and see various frogs and turtles.
William said he enjoyed his ride in the police car, as well as seeing the department's holding cells and fingerprinting equipment.

Sophomore Brandon Lord
April 21, 2012
WALNUT, Calif. --- Georgia senior Kristie Krueger highlighted the second day of the Mt. SAC Relays by shattering the school's 5000-meter run record late Friday.
Krueger, whose previous best of 16:30.09 was set at the 2010 Southeastern Conference Championships, sped to the top collegiate finish (second overall) after clocking a 16:00.66. This tops the previous school record of 16:13.96 set by Erin Jones at the 1997 NCAA Championships.
This is the second-fastest time in the SEC this year and No. 16 on the national performance list.
On the men's side, sophomore Brandon Lord was eighth in the 5000 after he completed his laps in a career-best 14:03.33. This moved him from No. 5 to No. 4 on the school's all-time top-10 list as he was running his second 5000 of the season.
Sophomore Megan Malasarte clocked her second 2:06 in a row to finish 17th in the 800-meter run. She registered a 2:06.88 to finish in front of 74 other competitors.
Junior Daniel Grass finished 31st in the 800 after recording a personal-best time of 1:50.73. His senior teammate Aaron Evans ran in his second 800 of the year and took 63rd (1:52.78).
Live results and recaps from the Mt. SAC Relays will be available at georgiadogs.com.

Jersey Shore
Pregnant Snooki Swarmed by Fans at Tanning Salon Event
Snooki's a popular gal. Last Saturday, April 28, the Jersey Shore star stopped by the at Ultimate Exposure Salon in Chicago to promote her with her line of indoor tanning lotions by Supre Tan.
According to a spy on scene, "hundreds of fans waited in the Chicago cold" to meet Snooki, who was rocking a black and white patterned dress and intense, studded Jeffery Campbell shoes. (The very same shoes that caused Snooki to get delayed by TSA while flying to Chicago.)
It seems like being pregnant hasn't slowed Snooki down at all.

Only a crisis will get Congress to cooperate
In this age of political conflict when viewpoints and values run deep and different, our nation has a critical problem. It is bad enough that these differences emerge between small groups, but worse when they affect our entire country.
It's pathetic when these divisions bring our Congress to a standstill. While the nation has major economic and international issues needing rational decision-making, Congress is caught in gridlock.
Congress has now adjourned until after the election and there's no indication that when it reconvenes it will be any more effective. It seems that only a crisis or disaster will motivate Congress to act effectively.
Many people have expressed similar views and an old classic study in social psychology suggests that bringing opposing groups together cooperatively is not easy.
The 1954 "Robbers Cave Experiment" studied two groups of 12-year-old boys who were sent to camp to face some manufactured situations to cause friction between the two groups.
Cooperation within their own group was encouraged. The "other" group was not presented positively and when competitions were arranged between the two groups, unfriendly behaviors surfaced.
The researchers decided to end the ongoing group conflicts. They arranged fun and "get-to-know-you" activities for both groups together. It didn't work. The groups did not get along any better and some "get-to-know-you" gatherings ended in food fights.
OK, keep Congress in mind now. Because what we have learned is that once two divergent groups set their minds to their views, "being nice" simply doesn't improve the situation.
But what made the Robbers Cave Experiment famous (named after the location near the Robbers Cave State Park in Oklahoma) is the realization that by setting up a crisis situation where the groups had to cooperate, you could change the social interaction pattern.
This crisis had to involve everyone. So in the Oklahoma summer, a "water supply problem" was arranged. All the water for drinking, cooking and latrines "malfunctioned." This was attributed to "vandals." As the two groups grew thirstier and more concerned, they worked cooperatively to restore the water supply.
Everyone was delighted when the water returned. What was most interesting was that the forced interaction to solve a "crisis" caused the boys to interact and function with each other in a positive way; this continued after the crisis ended.
Now back to Congress, which is not made up of 12-year old boys, but its members act similarly. The Democrats and Republicans have such clear views of how they want to see our government run that our government may have great difficulty running. Congress now has the lowest approval rating ever and unless it makes some difficult decisions, our nation may soon go over a "fiscal cliff."
The people we send to Washington to represent us seem to have forgotten there is a United States of America, not just a state or party they represent. They are unwilling to cooperatively solve budget problems, defense concerns, health care needs, unemployment, energy issues, housing crises and just about everything else that involves the federal government.
In the past four years, there's been no indication that Congress can work as a whole for the betterment of this nation, and we've learned from the Robbers Cave Experiment that once hostilities and sides are set, just encouraging opposing groups to work together is ineffective. Unfortunately turning off the water at the Capitol won't help; they'd just blame the other party.
It's a pity, but it looks like only a catastrophic crisis will get Congress to co-operate.

COLUMBIA CITY — After a three-game win streak, Columbia City's girls basketball team fell to Homestead Saturday night, 65-37.
The Lady Spartans only have two losses on the season, while Columbia City has been working to find its niche this year.
While the Lady Eagles suffered their 13th loss of the season, Shearer said the team has been improving.
Homestead opened the game by taking a 16-5 lead. Columbia City's lone points came from Emily Whiteleather (3) and Macie Hinen (2).
Aubrey Wright scored five points in the second, along with two from Hinen and a free throw from Hannah Schnorr — but Homestead tacked on another 19 points, making the score 35-13 at the half.
Wright led the Lady Eagles with eight points on the game.
Columbia City had a 10-point third period, with scoring from five different players, making the score 50-25 going into the fourth quarter.
The Lady Eagles gained momentum in the final quarter, as Megan Deutsch and Brittney Renniger scored four points apiece, helping Columbia CIty to 14 points in the last eight minutes, making the final score 65-37.
The Lady Barons are 9-6, with wins over three Northeast Hoosier Conference teams — New Haven, Bellmont and Carroll — while losing to Norwell and East Noble.

With successful passage of the bond, Idaho Falls School District 91 is undertaking a number of construction projects to upgrade its schools. In addition, the district is doing some summer projects, which are being paid for with SPFF money.
Idaho Falls School District 91 takes its responsibility as a steward of taxpayer money seriously so projects are put out for competitive bid and awarded to the lowest bidder qualified to do the work.
State statute requires that contractors doing state, county, municipal and school construction, repair and maintenance work employ at least 90 percent bona fide Idaho workers. (See Idaho statute 44-1001)

Now that we have drawn a ton of cars so far, I thought I introduce "Tall Cars" or also better known as Crossover vehicles. Believe it or not, crossover vehicles use a wheelbase or vehicle architecture similar to that of cars. In fact, most crossover vehicles use a car platform with a uni-body construction as opposed to Body-on-frame.
Why is this done? Well you uni-body construction allows for "car" handling characteristics and since the uni-body gives the structure more rigidity, it is able to handle corners better like a car. Also…it allows for reduced mass which is always good. So the basic principle here is to take the car platform and raise it higher to that of traditional SUVs. This gives the customer car handling, but a higher ride height for visibility, better fuel economy, space and luggage capacity, and a fairly nimble handling car. A great compromise to the SUV.
Check out the video as I sketch the tall car….and yes…I should have added another door.
