We have demonstrated tuning of a metamaterial device that incorporates a form of spatial gradient control. Electrical tuning of the metamaterial was achieved through a vanadium dioxide layer which interacts with an array of split ring resonators. Through design of the device and contact geometry, we achieved a spatial gradient in the magnitude of permittivity, writeable using a single transient electrical pulse. This induced gradient in our device was observed on spatial scales on the order of one wavelength at 1 THz. Thus we have demonstrated the viability of elements for use in future devices with potential applications in beamforming and communications.\footnote{M. D. Goldflam, \textit{et. al.}, Appl. Phys. Lett. 99, 044103 (2011).} Various contact geometries are currently being investigated with the goal of implementing finer control over gradients and expanding on the possible applications of such devices.

The South Carolina Highway Patrol is still trying to determine what caused the driver of a pickup truck to pull into the path of an oncoming bus, causing one of the worst accidents in Pawleys Island in quite a while.
The truck driver of the 1997 Dodge pickup, 47-year-old Greg Smith of Ferguson Drive died after being transported to Waccamaw Community Hospital Tuesday night, according to County Deputy Coroner Sam Hodge.
Smith, a landscaper, is survived by a wife and three children.
The accident happened when Smith pulled onto Highway 17 from Club Isis, near Beaumont Drive, and was hit on the drivers side by a Williamsburg County Transit Bus with 29 people on board Tuesday evening, according to S.C. Highway Patrol Lance Cpl. Bob Beres.
He said its unknown if Smith was wearing a seat belt.
Altogether, 13 people were taken to hospitals in Georgetown and Horry counties.
Bob Beebe, spokesman for Midway Fire Rescue said one other person was in critical condition Tuesday evening. That persons current condition was unavailable Thursday.
The bus, which was traveling south when the accident occurred, did have a surveillance camera and the tape has been reviewed as part of the investigation.
Midway Fire was assisted by Murrells Inlet, Horry County and Georgetown City and County.

Is Vegas Going All In on The 2020 Olympics?
August 29, 2011 at 2:45 PM | by 702Becca | Comments (0)
Vegas may be taking a long shot gamble on the 2020 Olympics.
GamesBids.com is reporting that unnamed Vegas representatives have submitted a bid to be the 2020 host city, despite the U.S. Olympic Committee's veto. The website, which tracks news on all Olympic bids, says it's seen a copy of the August 26 letter and quotes from it extensively here.
The USOC has said that it will not submit a bid, from any US city, for the 2020 games due to a "revenue sharing dispute with the International Olympic Committee."
The last Olympics to take place on US soil were the 2002 winter games held in Salt Lake City.

Dated: 14 March 2011
The Ongoing Fuel Price Saga
In nine days time, the Chancellor, George Osborne, is set to deliver his second budget with many people anticipating he is set to cancel the planned 1 pence increase to fuel duty.
However, even if the Chancellor does drop the Fuel Duty increase, it does not seem like this will be enough to appease many motorists who are extremely disgruntled at the continued soaring cost of petrol.
With the average price of petrol now having reached 132p a litre, a recent ComRes poll for the Sunday Mirror / Independent on Sunday showed that 80% of those who participated thought that "cancelling the planned 1p increase in fuel duty in the Budget would not be enough to help motorists."
The Labour Party has – as you would expect – launched several attacks at the tax policies of the current Government.
The Labour Shadow Chancellor, Ed Balls, said the following when speaking with Sky News, "I think he should act immediately on VAT. This was an own goal, he didn't have to do it.
"We are going to be urging Conservative and Liberal Democrat MPs to join with us in voting in Parliament to urge the Chancellor to cut VAT on fuel now and give immediate relief to hauliers and motorists across the country."
However, the sad fact is that even if fuel duty is not increased by 1p and the opposition convince the Government to drop VAT on fuel back to 17.5%, the price of petrol is still going to be much higher than many people would like.
A lot of motorists seem to be under the impression that there is not much that they can do - in terms of taking the matter into their own hands. This isn't the case.
Tyres have a big impact on the amount of fuel your vehicle consumes.
By looking after your tyres, or by buying a set that are designed specifically for improving the fuel economy of a vehicle, you could find that you will not need to fill up your tank as much as normal.
Even small things, like making sure that the air pressure of your tyres is correct (if the air pressure of a tyre is too low, it will lose shape and cause extra drag), will help in your battle against the costly fuel pumps.

DURHAM, N.H.- Despite an impressive career-high 25-kill effort and a hitting percentage of .714 by senior Jennifer Walker (Fulton, N.Y.), the University of New Hampshire women's volleyball team suffered a 3-1 America East setback vs. Hofstra University on Oct. 22. The team played in front of a school-record 1,949 fans on "Pack The Arena Day" at Lundholm Gymnasium.
UNH fell behind early in the match, as the scores went 15-7, 15-13, 5-15 and 15-10 in favor of the visitors, who improved to 13-10 overall, but more importantly 8-0 in America East, while UNH fell to 15-9 and 5-2 in the conference.
Walker's 25 kills topped her previous best of 23 kills, which she recorded on Sept. 22, 2000 vs. St. Peter's at the Rutgers Tournament.
Senior setter Stacy Barnett (Crystal Lake, Ill.) was just one assist short of her personal best mark of 67, which she compiled on Sept. 2 vs. Eastern Michigan.
Senior outside hitter Kim Mirts-Poen (Essex, Iowa) also played well for the 'Cats with a game-high 21 digs.
One of the keys to victory for The Pride was the play of Stephanie Rewitz, who had team highs of 21 kills and 19 digs.
The squad will return to action on Wed., Oct. 25 at Vermont and then will return home for three straight home matches vs. Delaware (Oct. 27), Drexel (Oct. 28) and Towson (Oct. 29), all in Lundholm Gymnasium.

Aqueduct: Ortiz brothers center stage on Thursday card
One of the winter's best races has been the battle between Irad Ortiz Jr. and his younger brother Jose, who enter the last few weeks of the winter meet tied for the lead with 54 victories, 13 ahead of their closest pursuer.
Their sibling rivalry renews in Thursday's second race, a $59,000 optional claiming route for New York-bred fillies and mares that serves as the nominal feature.
Schillerette has won two of her last three starts for trainer Rudy Rodriguez, who last week opened a seven-win lead in the standings, and the consistent mare will go favored from the rail with five-pound apprentice Jose Ortiz.
Schillerette, in for the optional $35,000 claim price, gets three pounds from Freud's Notebook, Guyana Princess, Erin Enchanted, and Silver Prize, the 2-3-4-5 finishers in this same condition Jan. 31.
Freud's Notebook and Silver Prize softened each other up in a pace duel that day, and a similar scenario could work to the advantage of Schillerette, Guyana Princess, and/or Erin Enchanted, who all do their best running late.
Erin Enchanted gets a switch to Irad Ortiz Jr. and makes her second start back from a layoff for Richard Schosberg, who has posted a solid 6-1-4 record from 26 starters at the meet, capped by a 16-1 winner Sunday.
"She got squeezed back between horses on the first turn, and we're looking for her to improve off that race, which was her first in two months and first around two turns," Schosberg said of the Jan. 31 race. "And it looks like the pace should be honest, albeit it's a short field."
The Ortiz brothers also ride contenders for the same trainers in race 6, but in reverse roles, with Irad aboard Blue Ballerina for Rodriguez and Jose on the Schosberg-trained Iratinelexburance (easy for you to spell).
In race 7, a $35,000 "beaten" claimer where the day's fastest horses are found, Irad Ortiz pilots J W Blue, the third-place finisher in the 2011 Travers, who makes his seasonal debut and first start for Chad Brown.
Meanwhile, Jose Ortiz has a return call on Late Starter, who was transferred to David Jacobson after winning his first two starts at the meet for the suspended Richard Dutrow Jr.
Jacobson also sends out Punster in the one-mile race that had originally been drawn for the snowed-out program of Feb. 8.

Sophomore F/D, Mamadou "Futty" Danso Ranks Top 5 Nationally in 4 Offensive Categories
October 17, 2008
Sophomore, F/D, Mamadou "Futty" Danso ranks in the top five, in the Nation, in four offense categories. Having only played 9 matches and spending some of his time on the bench and as a center back, Danso leads the SSAC in Goals, Shots on Goal, Shots, and Points. He is also one of the best, in the nation, in all those categories.
"If you consider all of the factors, Futty has done a great job for us. He only had one day of preseason, fasted the entire month of Ramadan, has only started two matches, and has played as a center back for us on four different occasions. He is truly a special player", said Coach Momeni.
#2 in the nation (Shots on Goal- 3.67 per game)
#3 in the nation (Shots- 5.22 per game)
#5 in the nation (Points- 3.1 per game)
#5 in the nation (Goals- 1.3 per game)

First we had to pick ourselves up off the floor.
Then we had to find a tissue to wipe the tears of laughter from our eyes.
Then we had to gasp an Are you serious?
She was serious.
County Parks and Recreation Director Beth Goodale says that parking for the new 850-seat auditorium at the soon-to-be newly renovated Howard Center will not be a problem.
Just do what other cities have done, she says.
Let people park their cars on the lawns of neighboring residences and let the homeowners charge them for it.
And since Goodale says she takes direction from [county] council, we take that to mean county council thinks the same.
We are still chuckling, amazed by the absurdity of it, astounded that when planning the rehabilitation of the center, apparently no one had the foresight to think about parking, much less what in the world an 850-seat auditorium would be used for.
Nevertheless, the City of Georgetown will have in its midst a huge auditorium and the equally large headache of dealing with the traffic and parking issues it will create should it find an event that might fill those 850 seats.
If the residents of the West End are expected to allow cars to park in their yards, then we have to assume that the same would hold true for any resident in the city. Whats good for one neighborhood is good for all right?
So, for example, when hundreds attend Front Street events, like, hmm, the hugely popular Wooden Boat Show, attendees can park in the yards of the homes in the historic district right?

I used this system for 3-4 years before I found something better. To me, it does a great job of getting my skin back on track after a breakout, but it doesn't do much for skin in the long term.
The Salicylic Acid in the foam cleanser and toner is ineffective; both products have a pH too high for the Salicylic Acid to do its job and the toner is full of alcohol, something that will NOT help your skin at all. The only acne medication you get from this system is coming from the treatment in the form of 2.5% Benzoyl Peroxide. The treatment is pretty good, but shouldn't be applied to areas without acne as it can be drying, so it's name of 'Clearing Moisturizer' or 'All-Over Clearing Treatment' isn't very accurate! You probably need another moisturizer when using this system, and they don't supply you with it.
I found when using the cleanser twice a day, I went through a full-sized bottle in about 6 weeks. A big bottle of toner lasted me about 4-5 months on average, and a full sized tube of the treatment lasted me between a month and 6 weeks. Basically, this system requires a lot of repurchasing, and it ends up being costly.
The only product from this system I would recommend purchasing is the Clearing Moisturizer, it's a pretty good Benzoyl Peroxide lotion, it just shouldn't be marketed as an all-over moisturizer.
I asked for this for Christmas since I could not originally afford the $70+ system. It did clear up some of my acne, but I have used drugstore one-product brands that worked better. For the price paid, I would not buy again. Also, it is very drying in the winter time so I had to buy a better working moisturizer than what came with the system.
didn't work for me, while on this i got extreme dry skin and i broke out, but i only been on it for a couples of wks and got off it. Kinda my fault for not stayin with it,
this is the only over the counter skincare system that has ever actually worked! It's totally different to everything else out there, & you can feel it working from the first use. It started too dramatically clear my severe and persistent acne within a week, and I was 90% clear within a month and a half.
It's only downsides are that once my skin was cleared and I still kept using it as maintenance, it really dried out my skin and made it very red. So I'd recommend just using it once a week once you get to that point as a maintenance thing.
There's also the cost point. It's about €78 for the whole system (and you need the whole system) so that's a bit inaccessible for many, but I assure you, it's the best money I ever spent, and wished I'd tried it years ago.
I have been on the Clinique 3 step treatment since July 2013. All I can say is the cleanser and toner is absolutely amazing but the moisturiser treatment is really a disappointment. It made my skin more oily and worse. I stopped using that after two weeks and started using the dramatically different moisturising gel. It works perfectly and helped clear my acne in a week. Its made my skin better. I don't really have breakouts anymore only one or to on my chin area monthly. I honestly have never been so happy with a product. I recommend this product ( as well as the dramatically different moisturising gel ) to anyone suffering from acne.
I have struggled with acne since I was around 12. and it never got bad until I was about 15. All throughout high school I used prescriptions for my acne that somewhat helped, but they made my face either very dry or very oily and my acne never went away, especially around the time I would get my period. I decided to try this clinique system because I had heard good things about it, and I got results within a couple days! I was so impressed. Now I will maybe get a couple pimples before my period, but they are not nearly as bad as before and can be covered up completely with a tiny bit of makeup. But seriously! This is amazing my skin hasn't been this clear for as long as I can remember and it's only been two weeks since I started this. It also seems to fade some of my old acne scars right up! I am so happy with this purchase. I recommend at least trying it for a couple weeks before writing it off completely!
My acne was out of control , I had big huge lumps all over my face and neck, I would cry when I would take off my makeup. I tried every acne soap , treatment , oral medication, prescription, dermatologists , and nothing seemed to work . A coworker told me about this product , I really didn't think it would work , i had lost hope. In 2 days I saw such a big difference ! I am now almost done with the treatment and I have no acne , I get one or two pimples that go away in a day or two . Clinique gave me back my confidence.
This "acne solution" from Clinique has deteriorated my acne 100%. I used to have like 3 or 4 pimples per week but when i started to use this i started to have more and more pimples, like 12 or 14 per week and the moisturizer left my skin more oily than ever! The only good thing about this system is the Clarifying lotion (i used for men), it left my skin soft and calm after the shave. But i will never buy this again, is pure marketing and is a little expensive.
My friend also has acne and recommended me the Clinique Acne Solutions Clear Skin System. I have oily skin and moderate/severe acne. The person at the counter also said that this kit is great and that just in case it didn't work then I can just get the $36 trial set. I should've been turned off by the price but I was just so excited by the idea that this might finally put a stop to my acne that I bought it without thinking. I used it for 1 1/2 months until I finished it and it ultimately made little difference, maybe broke me out a wee bit. If you're lucky it might work for you. Up to you whether you want to risk $36 because I sure as heck wish I didn't.
If your a teen and have bad acne, this stuff is NOT for you! When I used this product, all I can say is one word ouch! The cleanser kind of burned, the toner made my eyes swollen and my nose too and my skin burn because it is made of alcohol. And the lotion is oil based, totally AWFUL for breakouts and acne. I hated this product it din't help the acne at all or feel good or refreshing to use! Would NEVER reccomend this product, to anyone!!! EVER! If you are comparing this to Murad or Rodan and Fields check out my other reviews (THIS STUFF IS MAGIC and POST OF SHAME)! Hope this review was helpful!

Rudderless symphony opens season, but without enthusiasm
Rudderless symphony opens season, but without enthusiasm
The Southwest Florida Symphony Orchestra opened its 52nd season Saturday at the Barbara B. Mann Center in Fort Myers. I have been making the trek for several seasons to Southwest Florida Symphony Orchestra concerts because of the innovative programming and exciting performances designed by Music Director Michael Hall. And, based on last season's level of stellar performances, I urged readers to purchase 2012-2013 season tickets in a column I wrote about the orchestra's season finale last March.
Now, however, Maestro Hall is mysteriously gone, his contract not renewed. His repertoire for the season, however, remains. The chef has vanished, but his recipes remain. Gone too, at least in this instance, is that chef's secret ingredient.
The selected interim artistic adviser for the season, and conductor for this concert, is Leif Bjaland who hails from Waterbury and Sarasota as his recent principal positions.
The main work on the first half was a pastiche of movements from a failed theatrical production of Schubert's "Rosamunde," performed as a sprawling litany of movements, interspersed with a booming rendition of an imposed storyline narrated by Don Abbott. It scared me, seriously, on three occasions, when the overamplified voice struck the audience just as quiet chords were finishing the delicate movements.
The orchestra never seemed inspired to imbue the dramatic lines with any of Schubert's sense of direction or commitment. Politeness was the norm.
Schubert is anything but polite. Only in the final measures of the Entr'acte was any sense evident of lyric or dramatic excitement. Nothing is worse than beautiful but boring.
Supporting the performance were the combined efforts of the Symphonic Chorale of Southwest Florida and the Ave Maria University Chamber Choir. The soprano and tenor sections had a particularly lovely lyric sound. Altos and basses were not as focused. However, the German enunciation left a great deal to be desired. It sounded as if they were singing subtle Italian.
The printed program was of no aid to this rehab version of "Rosamunde" — there were no original printed words with translations available to read.
Following intermission, 17 year-old pianist Priscila Navarro performed a well sculpted essay of Chopin's Andante Spianato and Grand Polonaise. She was the winner of the orchestra's annual youth competition. Navarro has quite an international list of credits that keep growing. She is surely one to watch. And, she is very fortunate to be under the guidance of Michael Baron at FGCU.
The finale to this concert, which somehow had a "rose" themed thread (but not quite), was the Suite from "Der Rosenkavalier" by Richard Strauss. The orchestra swelled to more than 90 players for this23- minute work. One can only wonder why this large complement wasn't used for the entire program, with different repertoire. The remainder of the program as it stood could have been suitably performed by a chamber orchestra.
Still, the brass, percussion and woodwind sections acquitted themselves marvelously throughout this demanding score.
The performance of this famous "suite" was satisfying, although I personally prefer more majestic tempos in the "Presentation of the Rose" and the famous "Trio" sections. Thus it was difficult to think of the words "Mir ist die Ehre widerfahren (To me the honor befalls)"as being the Romantic soul of the culmination of the entire opera. But this is just one man's opinion.
The program opened with a rather undistinguished reading of Johann Strauss, Jr.'s waltz, "Roses from the South." There was not much oom to pah-pah to.
Before the waltz, Christine LaCroix, the organization's president, gave a curtain speech about upcoming events, without a public statement as to Hall's departure. She ended her talk saying that Bjaland will be the interim adviser "while we wait for our new music director." Whatever that implies remains to be seen. And heard.

Poland has grounded its two Lockheed Martin C-130Es following an accident in Afghanistan on 5 February.
Sources say aircraft "1506" suffered structural damage after its crew performed a 4g manoeuvre to avoid a collision with a mountain and struck tree tops. The incident is believed to have followed false indications from flight instruments, they claim.
On loan to Poland since last November, the centre fuselage, wing root area and one underwing fuel tank of the US Air Force-owned aircraft were damaged, while almost its entire elevator was separated.
The crew escaped serious injury and made an emergency landing at Mazar-e-Sharif air base, in the course of which the structure next to the main landing gear area was also damaged.
Warsaw had been due to return aircraft 1506 in October, but had been discussing the possibility of eventually operating the transport on a permanent basis.
The surplus USAF aircraft is on loan as a result of delays to Poland's $110 million deal for five secondhand C-130Es. Its first refurbished example was delivered in March 2009, but has not flown this year due to ongoing work. Three more aircraft should be delivered between March and June, with the last expected to arrive in December 2011.
Poland's two C-130Es flew around 220h last year, including a first combat deployment to Afghanistan in December.

E (Kika) de la Garza Institute for Goat Research
Langston University
Langston, Oklahoma 73050
Anyone that has goats knows that fencing them in is one of the greatest challenges of having goats. A Texas adage says that if you can see through it or blow smoke through it, it won't hold a goat. However, it is possible to keep goats in your pasture without spending a mint on your fencing. This article describes several different types of fencing that have been used to keep goats in successfully and the cost for materials. This article also covers several methods of converting 5-strand barbed wire fence to a goat fence and several types of electric fence that have been used with goats. One area of difficulty is fencing water crossings. Considerable attention must be given to this because goats unlike cattle are very good at finding gaps in the fence to escape. Most of the fence types that hold goats will also hold the debris in water and therefore will have to be a tear-away type of structure for one end to give away when debris accumulates on them, but they will have to be repaired before the water goes down enough to allow the goats to escape. Generally goats will not walk through water or get their feet wet.
One last thing to mention is that in a few cases names of particular brands of fencing materials may be mentioned. This does not imply an endorsement by the Institute of this product or that other brands might not be equally suitable.
1. Goat Net Wire Fence
Goat net wire is a net wire fence (Sheep and Goat Wire designated 10-47-10-121/2) that is topped with a strand of barbed wire. It can be put on steel or wood posts. It has been fastened to existing 5-strand barbed wire with hog rings, but if the barbed wire is rusty, it will hasten the rusting process of the net wire. The barbed wire on top is necessary to keep cows and horses from putting their heads over the fence and stretching the net wire down low enough for goats to escape. People crossing the fence will also stretch the net wire. The shorter version of sheep and goat net wire can be used (8-35-12 sheep and goat wire) can also be used in this way, but requires being topped by several strands of barbed wire. Do not use conventional field fence(8-35-6) because goats will become caught by the horns and starve or be eaten by predators. If you have this type of fence already, the only solutions are to replace it, cut every other vertical wire, or to put one strand of electric fence in front of it.
This type of fence is a very secure fence for goats, although very young small kids can escape through the holes, but they will remain close to their mothers.. It is somewhat expensive. Post spacing can range from 10-25' depending on terrain and animal pressure. The cost for 1/4 mile of this fence with one set of corners and two line braces and the list of materials needed is as follows:
2. Barbed Wire - 10-12 strand
This fence is a very secure fence that keeps goats in and is difficult for humans to cross. This tends to be one of the more predator-resistant types of fence. It is composed of a number of strands of barbed wire that are closely spaced with wire stays every 4-5 ft to hold the wires in alignment. The wires are spaced 3-3.5 inches apart at the bottom and increased to 4, 5, and 6 inches between the wires towards the top of the fence. Post spacing can be 10-15 ft. Since there are so many strands of barbed wire under tension, careful attention must be given to having a stout set of braces to hold the tension of wire. The cost for1/4 mile of this fence with one set of corners and two line braces and the list of materials needed is as follows:
3. Converting 5-Strand Barbed Wire Fence with Addition of 4 Strands of Barbed Wire
This is a fairly economical way to convert 5-strand barbed wire to be goat proof, but also requires considerable labor. Two strands are added to the gap between the lowest strand and the ground and 1 additional strand of barbed wire between the lowest and second strand of barbed wire and 1 additional strand of barbed wire between the second and third strand of the existing fence. Wire stays must be added every 3-5 ft. The cost for modifying 1/4 mile of this fence and the list of materials needed is as follows:
4. Converting 5-Strand Barbed Wire fence by Addition of 8-35 Net Wire Fence
In this fence conversion, the lowest strand of barbed wire is moved to ground level, the next two strands are moved to between the top wires, and net wire is used to fill the gap in between. Considerable labor is also involved in this conversion of fence, but it is a relatively secure type of fence. The cost for modifying 1/4 mile of this fence is as follows:
5. Converting 5-Strand Barbed Wire Fence with Addition of 1 or 2 Strands of Electric Fence
This is the cheapest and fastest method for conversion of 5-strand barbed wire fence enabling goats to be used in areas that would be prohibitively expensive to fence and use for goats otherwise. Although it is the least secure type of fence it gives acceptable levels of animal control. Young kids can escape under it, but will stay close to the doe. Electric fence does not work well for everyone's management style and can be another management problem if you do not have several years of successful use of electric fence behind you. There are three rules for successful electric fence use with goats: 1) construct it properly with quality materials; 2) train animals to electric fence before turning them out; and 3) keep the fence hot (minimum 4,500 volts) by checking it daily. Find someone who has used electric fence successfully for a long time and learn their techniques and the materials they use. Half the problems with electric fence are due to poor quality components and(or) poor construction techniques. When an animal gets his head through the electric fence before getting shocked, most likely, he will go forward and out. Therefore, it is profitable to spend a couple of days training animals in a trap or pen lined with a similar type of electric fence to what you are using. Aluminum soft drink cans can be crushed and put on the wire to attract animals to the wire. Bales of hay or feed in a trough can be used to attract animals into the fence. It only takes a couple of days to train goats. To keep fence hot, you need to put a voltmeter on the fence every day. There are some new sophisticated electric fence voltmeters which not only tell the voltage, but will tell whether the short is to the left or right of the voltmeter. When the voltage is low, get it fixed before the goats find out. Falling limbs can also short an electric fence. Vegetation can also be a problem on the fence and can be sprayed with herbicide or clipped with a weedeater. Roundup can be sprayed from a 4-wheeler to cover a lot of area fast. Also, it does not take long to discover that a high quality fence charger is worthwhile investment. Expect to pay $100-600 for a quality fence charger. Never underestimate the importance of a good ground. Follow the manufacturers directions on grounding to avoid grounding problems. Generally plug-in type fence chargers are cheaper for the amount of power and are more reliable than solar powered chargers. However, in remote areas, solar powered chargers are a necessity.
One strand of electric fence can be added to a barbed wire fence in many ways. It should be 14-16" high and have posts and insulators every 30-35 ft. It must stand out from the existing fence at least 5-6 inches or more to keep the electric fence wire from becoming entangled in the barbed wire. Many of the stand-off insulators fitting on T posts are 5 inches long. If two strands of electric wire are to be used, they should be 8" and 18" high. This will help with predator control and is more secure than one strand of electric fence. Although, a common recommendation is to place the lowest line of electric fence wire between the ground and the first strand of barbed wire, and the second line between the first and second barbed wire strands. Quality stand-off insulators which fit on existing posts can be used. Stand-off insulators allow the fence to be weed-eated under easier. Some stand-off insulators are poor quality and subject to breakage. Good quality standoff insulators are often more expensive than using short posts. Other materials than can be used for posts include temporary step-in posts, homemade posts from 1" PVC electric conduit (stabilized against the sun), fiberglass sucker rod, or 2" × 6.5 ft posts cut in half (3 ft) and fitted with an insulator. The cost for converting1/4 mile of fence is as follows:
Don't forget a quality electric fence charger, ground rod, lightning arrester, voltmeter, gate handles, and underground wire.
6. Temporary Electric Fence
Four-strand temporary electric fence on step-in posts with three strands of Maxishock (small galvanized cable from Premier) topped with Intelli-Rope, a rope that has wire conductors, gives visibility to deer to keeps them from tearing the electric fence down. This type of fence works well on keeping goats in and provides some protection from predators. Four wires spaced 8 inches apart has worked well for us. Corners and ends can be landscape timbers. The cost for 1/4 mile of this fence with one set of corners is as follows:
7. Permanent Electric Fence
Permanent electric fence is easy to put up and not under as much tension as a barbed wire fence. It provides a significant degree of predator control. Five strands, placed 6,13, 21, 31, and 43 inches from the ground, work well for goats. Sucker rod posts ($5.15) and fiberglass T posts are expensive ($5.60); steel T posts with pinlock insulators ($3.50) and wood posts (2") with quality insulators ($2.60) are less expensive. A problem in the use of steel posts with insulators for electric fence is that when the wire gets knocked off of the insulator, the wire may contact the steel T post, causing a direct short to ground.
The cost for 1/4 mile of this fence (5-strand electric fence with sucker rod posts every 30') is as follows:
8. Gallagher Electric Fence
This fence uses Insultimber posts made from Acacia wood (very hard wood) at 90' spacings with 2 wooden battens in between the posts and 5 strands of high tensile wire.
9. Least-Cost Electric Fence - 4 Strands, 2"-Post Every 90', with 2 Fiberglass Battens Between
There are many fencing options and such a diversity of materials. Cost and what is available at the local store are not important factors in determining what components to use in a fence. The labor required to find and replace one poor quality insulator in a fence will cost more than the whole package of high quality insulators. The loss of one quality animal due to poor quality fencing will pay for the difference in cost of quality materials. The fencing garden at Langston is designed to expose you to these options so that you can determine what type of fencing and components are most appropriate for your farm.

Crystal City Cave Is Lost In Time
Categories: Community, Follow That Story
|Photo: Jennifer Silverberg
|All in his mine: Tom Kerr has big plans for his cave, but are they realistic?
The story revolves around Jim Kennedy and Tom Kerr. Both are developers who have grand ideas for Crystal City, the small river town about a half-hour south of St. Louis. Kennedy wants to build an iron ore smelter in Crystal City. Kerr wants to turn a nearby sand mine into an underground entertainment district.
Neither project is moving forward quickly.
Indeed, as the daily paper documents this morning, hardly anything has changed since we wrote about the issue in January 2008. Kennedy can't find financing to complete his smelter -- a project that sharply divided the town and was supposed to be completed by the end of this year. Detractors fretted that the smelter would negatively impact property values and the environment. Supporters lusted over the promise of jobs.
Kerr's project, meanwhile, has lead to more head-scratching than anything else. An eccentric character who favors Hawaiian shirts and likes to drive his itsy-bitsy Smart Car through Jefferson County's pickup-truck country, Kerr wants to turn his 200-acre mine into a tourist attraction.
Though, as it's becoming clear, Kerr really has no idea what to do with the series of caves he bought four years ago for $850,000. Initially, he planned to turn the space into an underground sports complex and green industry facility. He even created a website to tout his mega-million-dollar proposal. Now he wants to rent out space in the cave. Make it sort of an underground mall -- with restaurants, dance clubs and senior-citizen shuffle board and bowling.
Given the pent-up demand for grandmas to play subterranean shuffle board, you wonder how this project wasn't completed years ago?
Seriously, though. Something tells me that three years from now, someone else will write an article about the big plans for Crystal City. And it will be the same old story.

Police seek missing 63-year-old man
: May 1, 2013 : Updated: May 1, 2013 4:48pm

Police are asking for the public's help finding a missing man.
James Grimes, who turned 63 on Wednesday, was last seen March 14 at the Catholic Worker House, a homeless shelter in the 600 block of Nolan Street. An employee said Grimes told her he planned to go to the grocery store that day, according to a missing person report.
The employee said Grimes, who used to be homeless, normally visits the shelter every day to eat, but he suddenly stopped showing up. Concerned about his welfare, the woman visited his apartment several times, but he never answered the door.
A neighbor with a key to the apartment let her inside March 25. After finding a receipt from an H-E-B dated March 14 and groceries that hadn't been put away, she notified police about Grimes' disappearance.
She said that although he doesn't suffer from any illness, he's sometimes delusional.
There were no signs of foul play at the home, police said.
Grimes is described as having straight, gray hair and is balding. He is about 6 feet 3 inches and 220 pounds.
Anyone with information about his whereabouts is urged to call the police department's missing persons department at 210-207-7660.

John McCain just completed a blogger conference call. He began by referring to his speech this morning and by emphasizing that he sees that by 2013 we will have won in Iraq, meaning the government and military would be functioning and violence would be "sporadic."
I asked McCain about President Bush's comments in Israel and why the Democratic establishment and media had gone crazy over Bush's warnings about the dangers of appeasement. McCain said that he took Bush at his word when he said that he wasn't talking about Barack Obama specifically. He then explained that he suspected that the reaction was so "vociferous" because of concern about defending a policy that evidences the "highest degree of naivitee and inexperience" in pledging to sit down with the President of Iraq who calls Israel a "stinking corpse," vows to wipe Israel off the map and supplies explosives which kill America's military personnel in Iraq.
I also asked him about Lebanon and whether Obama's plan to meet directly with Iran will improve the situation. He said that there is essentially a "proxy war" with Syria and Iran supporting Hezbollah and that the U.N. has done nothing to enforce its resolution calling for Hezbollah's disarmament. Again, he took issue with the notion that we should hold presidential talks with Iran: " What is it that he wants to talk about?" He queried whether it would be Iran's belief that Israel is a stinking corpse or its commitment to destroy Israel. He summed up, saying he concluded from this that Obama lacked the "knowledge, experience or background" to defend our national security interests.
In response to the Weekly Standard's Michael Goldfarb's question as to what preconditions would be needed before he would talk to Iran's leadership, McCain listed renunciation of its stated position to wipe out Israel, abandonment of its pursuit of nuclear weapons, a cessation of exporting of explosive devices which are killing Americans and a halt to sponsorship of terrorist organizations. He also noted that talks including Ambassador Crocker's discussion with the Iranian Ambassador in Iraq have given us no reason to believe that Iran is interested in any of these items.
And what about the Obama campaign's spin that Obama isn't really promising unconditional talks? McCain was having none of it. He pointed to other flip flops by Obama on NAFTA and concluded that on this one (Iran) more recent comments suggesting that Obama really isn't after all interested in direct talks without preconditons show a "very clear inconsistency" and a "contradiction" with his prior position.
In short, McCain made clear he believes meeting at the presidential level with Iran would merely "enhance their prestige" and that this policy position by Obama is a useful one in McCain's own efforts to paint Obama as a dangerous novice in foreign affairs. It seems clear this will be a major point of debate in the general election.

The Power of the Princess: An Interview with Peggy Orenstein
Jason Donnelly
Is it a boy or a girl? It's the first thing anyone asks an expectant mother. So much of who our children are, from the very start, is about their sex. And today, if you're having a girl, that means you're probably getting a princess in your house. Peggy Orenstein, the mom of 7-year-old Daisy and best-selling author of Schoolgirls, Flux, and Waiting for Daisy -- books that have focused on female identity -- has decided to investigate the tyranny of the tiara -- and to try to discover what we can do to help our daughters who are coming of age today have the best sense of girlhood possible. As the mother of a 5-year-old myself, I'd certainly like to know. So much of my daughter Beatrice's girlhood seems to involve glittery nail polish, primping, preening, and an almost alarming amount of pink. In fact, the very evening I spoke with Orenstein, Beatrice was getting herself ready to attend yet another princess themed birthday party -- the third one she had been invited to this year.
Parents: What sparked the idea for this book?
Peggy Orenstein: Princesses! My daughter went to preschool, and suddenly life was 24/7 princess. Before that, play had been about blocks and trains and other things, but that came to a screeching halt. I realized, if this is happening in politically correct Berkeley, California, it's got to be everywhere. Then a friend from New York called and said that when she had her sonogram, the technician turned to her and said, "Congratulations -- you're having a little princess!" So girls are gone; we're now having princesses instead. I started to wonder, what does it mean that our little girls are all about being pretty princesses? Have girls made so much progress that it's no big deal? Or is this the first step toward hypersexualization? I don't remember everything being so pink when we were little -- we were all "Free to Be You and Me" -- and I didn't know where this new culture of girlhood came from. I wanted to find out why these things arose so powerfully and pervasively, and what were the consequences.
Parents: Do you think our expectations for girls have changed dramatically in the last 20 years?
Peggy Orenstein: I think it's become more complex, and that's what's tricky. On the one hand, girls are achieving way beyond what they used to. They're doing great in school, there are more girls on the student council and more women in college, and there's a real, openhearted expectation that girls can and will excel. But at the same time, there's a pressure to define themselves based on how they look, and that's gotten much more intense during the same period. So it's confusing raising a daughter and trying to figure out, with all this progress as a backdrop, how much of these pink and sparkly things are okay. Is all the bling fine at a young age or not? What does it lead to? We have to wonder what role it plays in girlhood becoming sexualized and commercialized and narcissistic.
Parents: What do you mean by narcissistic?
Peggy Orenstein: For her seventh birthday, Daisy was given a decorate-your-own messenger bag in a box proclaiming, "It's all about me!" You had to iron on decals that said things like "Spoiled" and "Pampered Princess." Daisy said to me, "Mom, isn't it kind of braggy to say that?" I think that as parents, we have to fight against really pervasive messages that try to define girls in terms of narcissism and acquisitiveness. This is the commercial version of girl power and the self-esteem movement. Instead of being about a girl's empowerment and electiveness in the world, it's actually about her self-absorption and spoiledness.
Parents: What is the princess culture teaching girls?
Peggy Orenstein: When children are around age 3, they begin exploring their identity as either a boy or a girl with whatever tools the culture gives them. Princesses are a way for girls to assert what's feminine about themselves. But princesses are also defining girls by telling them that how you look is who you are. And a lot of parents don't emphasize the stories these princesses belong in -- often because they don't want their daughters focused on being helpless and trying to land a man. However, the upside to princesses is that the source material isn't all bad. In the traditional fairy tales, many of the princesses are resourceful and clever and humble, and show real strength of character. Unfortunately, when you strip all that away, what you have is bling.
Parents: So what's a parent to do about princesses?
Peggy Orenstein: There's no need to ban princesses entirely, if your daughter's under their magical spell. Kids do love royal fantasies. But princesses -- especially the prescripted ones -- shouldn't be the only narrative or fantasy girls have access to or are indulging in. You also have to be mindful about where the whole princess culture is leading young girls: to wanting lip gloss at age 4 or wearing skimpy outfits by age 5. The challenge for us as parents is to make sure princesses don't become about old stereotypes and divahood but about something bigger and more joyful.

Options for the best cash back deal?
With Christmas creeping up on us once more there has never been a better time to look for the best cash back deal from e2save.com.
There are two types of cash back deal on offer. The first is automatic cash back and the second is cash back by redemption. One is much easier than the other to claim but one will earn you more cash. Hopefully this blog will explain why and we can help you find the best cash back deal for you.
Automatic Cashback
This process is very simple. Just call the sales team and choose your deal. Wait around 28 days for your cheque to arrive then take it to your bank. Easy as that!
Remember to get your order in with e2save before the 10th November to make sure you have your cheque before you go Christmas shopping! Automatic cash back, due to the speed in which you receive the entire amount could be the best cash back option for you. However before you make your mind up make sure you check out cash back by redemption.
Cash back by redemption
Cash back by redemption is a little more complicated than its alternative however you will, for the majority of contracts receive more money via this process. If you're after the largest sum available then we think that this option is the best cash back deal you could go for.
If you have an 18 or 24 month contract you have to send in your month 6, 9, 12, 15 and 18 bills. These bills will then be processed and your cheque will be sent out. You can find which bills to send by logging onto the "Your Account" section of the e2save website. Just enter your order ID number and either your e-mail address or mobile number. Follow the links and you can find out lots of information about your account.
When sending your cash back claim, it's always best to check that you have included all of the correct information on your bill. For a successful claim your bill should contain:
- Your full name
- Your full address
- Your postcode
- Your mobile number
- Your tariff information
- The correct date on the bill
- No outstanding payments from previous months
You have exactly 60 days, from the date of the bill to send in your claim. This is very strict and not negotiable. You must also only enclose one bill per envelope. It can't be guaranteed that any more than one cash back claim per envelope will be processed.
Bills must be sent to: Cashback Claims, ADM4118, Loughborough, LE11 1XH
It is always advised to send your bills via Royal Mail recorded delivery. This means the letters can be tracked if e2save don't receive them! It will always be your responsibility to check your cashback has been processed.
Still undecided?
To summarise, instant cashback is much quicker and easier to claim than cashback by redemption but cashback by redemption will usually earn you more money over time. Hopefully our explanation of the types of deal available will help you choose the very best cash back package for you.
If you have any other queries you can just visit the helpdesk section of our website.

"With used furniture you cannot be emotional," Gregory Solomon, an estate appraiser in Arthur Miller's The Price tells Victor Franz, the no-nonsense cop who has summoned him to valuate his deceased father's estate. "I realize you are a factual person, but some facts are funny."
It's been sixteen years since his father died, and Victor, played with remarkable emotional nuance by Michael James Reed in the New Jewish Theatre's powerful production of Miller's drama, has been living with the humbling fact of his abandoned dreams for more than two decades. Obliged to care for his once-wealthy father after the crash of '29, Victor was forced to sacrifice a career in science as his brother, Walter, abandoned the family, sending them a measly $5 a month while becoming a wealthy surgeon. Now Victor, who became a cop and struggles financially, wants nothing to do with Walter, whom he hasn't spoken with since his father's death. He wants only to settle the estate, get a fair price and write Walter off for good.
But some facts are funny. When Walter arrives he's not nearly the monster of Victor's memory. To the contrary, he seeks reconciliation. And as the brothers circle each other in the dusty detritus of their father's life, Walter reveals that the facts Victor has employed to explain his fateful sacrifice are not nearly so stable as he'd once believed — the price was much too steep.

Though The Price is not one of Miller's most popular plays, it often reveals the playwright at his dramatic best. It is replete with winding dialogue that moves effortlessly between matters weighty and seemingly insignificant. The characters are fully drawn, existing as they do in a moral matrix — integral to the plot — whose dimensions shift as the drama unfolds.
Director Bruce Longworth's remarkable cast is fully up to the challenge. The very talented Jerry Vogel inhabits a superb blend of confidence, remorse and solicitude in the role of Walter. He's matched by Reed, who in Victor toggles between his past aspirations, his present despair and a persistent resentment that outlives its crumbling foundation. Meanwhile, Bobby Miller delivers a scene-stealing performance as Solomon. He saturates the role with terrific character flourishes, bringing an endearing tenderness to its wise humor and slightly questionable motives. Although the playwright was not known for his strong female characters, Kelley Weber brings an extraordinary complexity to Victor's wife, Esther, imbuing her with a powerful blend of striving ambition, disappointment and, ultimately, acceptance.
Still, many of play's best lines fall to Solomon, who dodders about Mark Wilson's terrific set dispensing bits of wisdom. The Price proves him wrong about one thing, though: When it comes to used furniture, you can definitely be emotional.
