"Yeomen of the Guard": U-M Gilbert and Sullivan Society.< less
Dec. 5-8. Mitch Gillet and Laura Swierzbin direct this accomplished local town-and-gown company in Gilbert and Sullivan's only tragicomedy. Tudor-era war hero Colonel Fairfax is accused of sorcery by a greedy relative who stands to inherit a fortune if the colonel dies a bachelor. But on execution day, Fairfax asks a friend to find him a wife--any wife--so that he can foil the plot. The friend finds the humble Elsie, a traveling minstrel who is promised 100 crowns for agreeing to a temporary marriage. But at the last minute, Fairfax is smuggled out of town, and Elsie finds herself married to a man she's never met. Despite its comic plot twists, Yeomen is the only G&S operetta with an unhappy ending, which nudges its tone closer to the realm of opera. Most think that Yeomen was librettist Gilbert's attempt to soothe composer Sullivan, who had tired of their collaboration and yearned to write grand opera.

Screen bug with nvidia driver
1 Attachment(s)
Here is my problem when I set my resolution to 1440x900 it is like nvidia doesn't send a good resolution definition to my screen (IISONIC modele IIW9M) which is able to do 1440x900 and which shows something like a 1440x800, like in pictures there : http://jad-jay.net/resolution/
Hope read you soon about that,
Re: Screen bug with nvidia driver
remove the Modes from xorg.conf and retry.
remove Horizsync 30.0 - 150.0
Vertrefresh 50.0 - 130.0
and retry
Re: Screen bug with nvidia driver
Yes ! Working so good ! :captnkill: (nana2) :D :afro2:
How is this possible to remove modes set a good resolution?
ThanXs you so much energyman76b!
Could you give me a tips about what was wrong in my config?
Re: Screen bug with nvidia driver
because if you don't use modes the monitor and graphic driver are free to find the optimal solution via ddc/edid.
As soon as you start setting stuff you override this.
That is why ubuntu's xorg.conf is an example of a crappy xorg.conf. Full of unneeded, harmfull modelines.
btw, if you change resolution on the fly with xrandr or krandrtray you won't get black lines or the 'magnfying glass' effect, you'll get with modes set in xorg.conf.
Re: Screen bug with nvidia driver
ThanXs i will post this to ubuntu bugs reply

The History of Air America, 2nd Edition of 4 March 2013 , by Dr. Joe F. Leeker
The History of Air America is new e-book that covers the operational history of Air America. It is intended to serve as a narrative supplement to the database entitled The Aircraft of Air America (located at http://www.utdallas.edu/library/specialcollections/hac/cataam/Leeker/aircraft/index.html) published for the first time on 15 August 2003. Like its counterpart, The History of Air America is mostly based on material preserved at the Air America Archives at McDermott Library, University of Texas at Dallas as well as on material taken from other sources like the USAF Aircraft Assignment Records preserved at the USAF Historical Research Agency at Maxwell AFB, the records of the Director General of Civil Aviation of the Republic of China at Taipei, and other archives. Already the 3rd edition of The Aircraft of Air America, published on 29 May 2006 contained some narrative files describing certain aspects of Air America's activities. These files have been taken out of the 4th edition of The Aircraft of Air America, updated and supplemented by more narrative files dealing with other aspects of Air America's history to form this new The History of Air America, which is, again, a work in progress. This means that not all files given below will be ready for publication from the beginning.
As this e-book uses the same abbreviations, has been supported by the same people, and is based on the same sources as The Aircraft of Air America, there are no separate files called Abbreviations, Acknowledgments, and Bibliography for The History of Air America. Whoever is interested in these aspects, should consult the files given in the database called The Aircraft of Air America.
At the times of Civil Air Transport (CAT):
From Civil Air Transport to Air America:
CAT, Air Asia, Air America – the Company on Taiwan IV: Technical Services Division CAT and Air America in Japan Smaller Operations: Kadena Air Base, Clark Air Base Missions to Tibet CAT's and Air America's World of Administration
At the times of Air America:
This work too, I dedicate it to the courageous people of Air America who many many times risked their own lives to save those of other people. And especially to those heroic men and women whose dedication was so high that they did not make it home.
Dr. Joe F. Leeker
University of Texas at Dallas, McDermott Library 11 August 2008
As no work of this nature can ever be considered to be complete or without errors, I kindly ask to send all corrections and additions to Paul Oelkrug, CA, Coordinator of the Department of Special Collections, at email@example.com. He will kindly forward all material to me.
© University of Texas at Dallas, 11 August 2008
The updates of 1 June 2009 and 23 August 2010 to this database include three new files published here for the first time:
- The early days I - CAT operations in China 1946-48
- The early days II - CAT operations in China 1949-50
- Air America - Cooperation with other airlines
While the 2 files about the early days of CAT are mainly based on old CAT Bulletins preserved at the CAT / Air America Archives and on information about the aircraft flown by CAT prior to 1950 obtained from Princeton University Library, the file about Air America's cooperation with other airlines mainly deals with the Company's relations with Southern Air Transport, Bird and Sons, Continental Air Services, Boun Oum Airways and all those airlines who had handling contracts with Air America, particularly for services at Clark and Kadena Air Bases. The file Air America Japan has been considerably augmented at the beginning, dealing with the history of CAT prior to the Korean War. And the file Air America in South Vietnam III - the collapse has as well been increased with material recently released by the CIA like trip reports in which several Air America pilots describe in detail how they spent the last 2 days in South Vietnam, that is 28 and 29 April 1975. The updates contain new material that came from a number of new collections and sources. Among them, I'd like to especially mention the following new sources:
- The material donated to the Archives by Patricia F. Walker, M.D., daughter of Captain Frederick "Fred" Frye Walker. This material includes priceless documents like all types of Memoranda, Notams, Contracts, Radio messages, and Daily Flight Schedules of several Air America bases, including the Saigon Daily Flight Schedules of 28 and 29 April 1975, that is of the last two days Air America was in operation.
- The photos sent to the author for publication by Dr. Jonathan Pote, documenting his one-year stay in Laos in 1965/66. These photos were very helpful for the sections about Continental Air Services and Boun Oum Airways.
- CIA material released in 2009. In the History, trip reports documenting Air America flights during the evacuation of Saigon as well as various commendations illustrate the heroism shown by Air America flight crews on many occasions.
- The material supplied by Princeton University Library, which includes the only known official list of aircraft operated by CAT between 1947 and 1950.
Once again, I kindly ask to send all corrections and all further additions to Paul Oelkrug, Coordinator of the Department of Special Collections, at firstname.lastname@example.com. He will kindly forward all material to me.
© University of Texas at Dallas, 11 August 2008, last updated on 23 August 2010
This second edition of The History of Air America, dated 4 March 2013, includes 7 new files published here for the first time:
- CAT, Air Asia, Air America – the Company on Taiwan I: Structure and Development
- CAT, Air Asia, Air America – the Company on Taiwan II: Scheduled and Civilian Charter Flights
- CAT, Air Asia, Air America – the Company on Taiwan III: Work for the US Government
- CAT, Air Asia, Air America – the Company on Taiwan IV: Maintenance
- Smaller Operations: Kadena Air Base, Clark Air Base
- Working in Remote Countries: CAT in New Zealand, Thailand-Burma, French Indochina, Guatemala, and Indonesia
- CAT and Air America in Japan
The file "Air America Japan" has been completely reworked and has now become "CAT and Air America in Japan", dealing in detail with CAT's activities during the Korean War. Details about CAT's operations in Guatemala, Indonesia, and French Indochina have been considerably increased and can now be found in the new file "Working in Remote Countries", which also contains activities not mentioned before like Operation "Icebox" and the New Zealand operation. These new files are mainly based on material preserved at the Air America Archives like CAT Bulletins and the priceless material contained in the boxes of Professor William Leary. This includes, for example, the Memoirs of CAT pilot Connie Seigrist and all the interviews once conducted by Professor Leary with numerous CAT and Air America people. The material preserved at the Air America Archives also comes from the boxes of Joe Rosbert, CAT's Director of Operations, and from the microfilms supplied by Gary Bisson. Very helpful were the log books of CAT pilots Connie Seigrist and especially "Doc" Johnson, scans of which have been kindly supplied by the sons of these pilots, i.e. by Steve Seigrist and James Johnson. Without the indefatigable efforts especially of James Johnson it would have been impossible to document and illustrate many of CAT's and Air America's "black" missions.

Governor Susana Martinez says the water well in Magdalena was not maintained for more than 45 years.
KOB Eyewitness News 4 talked to the governor about the water issues in the town over the weekend.
Engineers think there is a chance they may be able to rehab and re-use an old well that was shut down to fix the issue.
Meanwhile the water authority is sending truckloads of water to the town every day.
"This isn't the best way of doing things but we're making sure they have water every day and have plenty of water and that's the truck loads that are going up there," says Martinez.
Albuquerque police are also helping out.
The police department held a water drive last week for Magdalena and delivered the water they collected on Friday.

The first marathon in my life! Very good organization, friendly and helpful and english-speaking stuff. The route is very easy and the marathon is considered as one of the best to bit PB. Mostly totally flat with just few minor up runs over the bridges. With W wind, its even more easy. I have managed a time of 3:40:22, but last 10km I have experienced the "hitting of the wall" effect :-/ so I hope to improve big next time... in Athens in November I hope...

19 LETTER REPORT SUMMARY Overall the committee was encouraged by the progress NASA has made in such a short period of time to develop the first iteration of the evidence books and NASA's willingness to request this external review early in the program's history. The committee's recommendations to strengthen the content, composition, and dissemination of the evidence books are intended, in a fashion similar to recommendations made re- garding the Bioastronautics Roadmap, to improve future versions of these critical documents. These evidence books should be the continu- ously updated knowledge base of best evidence regarding risks to human health associated with spaceflight, particularly spaceflight beyond low Earth orbit and of long duration. Such a knowledge base will serve the interests of mission planners, researchers, and ultimately the individuals who accept those risks in their role as space travelers.

Soaps Boards :: The Bold and the Beautiful Forum :: if steffy knew that Hope is into another man
Please register and login to be able to post in this message board.
do you think she'd tell liam the truth? after all she wanted Hope to be with liam because she thought that's what both wanted. but in the end liam wasn't ready to take Hope back yet and FATE put WYATT in Hope's way and now she may decide to move on from the hurt that liam has put her through. it's not as if Hope has not been patient but she doesn't owe liam anything. liam has hurt her a lot and if she can find happiness with someone new then she is wise to go for it. liam is the king of wafflers who says he goes back to Hope then steffy comes back and the triangle goes on since as long as he has both he wants both. Hope has the right to give herself a chance to be happy IF she meets someone that makes her happy and so far she is attracted to Wyatt and he makes her smile. he's the first guy she's genuinely attracted to since liam. she doesn't have to force herself to liam if she feels the chemistry is gone. as for steffy, maybe being far made her come to the same conclusion? what do you think steffy will feel if she Hope moved on? would she resent Hope for not loving liam as much as she, steffy, believe she does? would this made her realize Hope and Liam WEREN'T MEANT TO BE after all ? and that liam would be HAPPY with her even if she cannot conceive?
I don't think it's a question of Hope loving Liam. She does; however, until Liam can let go of Steffy, even if the truth does come out, Hope owes Liam nothing. As for Steffy, I understand she was depressed at the loss of her baby and the "infertility" diagnosis, but to walk out on a marriage completely was ridiculous. Especially how hard she fought and manipuluated to be with Liam. I honestly do not see how she could resent Hope. I don't blame Hope in the least if she wants some one who is committed to her and only her.
QI honestly do not see how she could resent Hope. I don't blame Hope in the least if she wants some one who is committed to her and only her.
logically she shouldn't, of course Hope owes liam or steffy nothing. but steffy would have a hard time to believe Hope could ever let liam go after all the years these two girls have fought for him. steffy would be shocked to know Hope won't wait forever for liam. steffy left because she was sure liam would be happy with Hope but if she sees he's not maybe she'd come back to reunite with him?..
Seeing how Steffy is, she will probably go after Wyatt once she realizes that Hope wants him.
She probably would be shocked knowing Hope has been glued to Liam for the longest time But it is stupid how Steffy just walked out of their marriage when she did fight with Hope forever over him (which im glad is over) I just want Liam to be alone for awhile which i don't see where his story line would go if it didn't involve Hope or Steffy
she would be trying to get him too, she always want what someone else has. then when she gets it she crashes and burns.
she'd be boohooing, why does she have all the luck. why can't I have what she has. logans get everything. blah blah blah[quote]

Select an edition for more focused local news coverage when you visit AL.com.
Don't worry. You can change this setting at any time to another local edition.
This is a terrible idea for multiple reasons: Upfront costs - the cost of the tablet/laptop (and they will probably get Apple so that it has a $500 premium) plus the costs of purchasing the books to put on them - are the books going to be free in digital? No, they may not even be discounted; MAINTENANCE costs - you can leave ratty books laying around to use for years, but a broken tablet has to be fixed or replaced, for a lot of money, never mind viruses, spyware, and other stuff. They can't expect the students to purchase their own computers for this. Even if they just buy eReaders, that's $100 per student, plus textbooks per student.
Paulbertarianism (which is Libertarianism in the same way that Baptist is Catholic) is NOT a revolution because a handful of dogmatic, obsessed supporters does not a revolution make. Paul cultists do not support the general Libertarian party - they only support Paul. And even IF all the Paul supporters supported general Libertarianism, it isn't one of the two major parties so has to jump major hurdles just to get on the ballot, never mind getting any news coverage. The winner take all system in the electoral college destroys any chance at a third party president - we can BARELY get third party representatives.
PS. Ron Paul is NOT a libertarian. He is a Republican. A vote for Ron Paul is a vote for Republicans.
AHAHAHAHA. Democrats drinking the Obama koolaid. The ONLY reason the US doesn't have more, stronger social services is because unlike the Republicans, Democrats don't join together in one massive bloc. They actually have internal dissent, whereas the Republicans' only internal dissent is who can be the most conservative.
I'd be for charter schools - if they weren't simply a way for Republicans to launch and indirect assault on teacher's unions. Institute private schools and out got the teacher unions. It has NOTHING to do with childrens' education because studies have shown charter schools don't average any better than public schools.
"And the alternative is increase taxes to maintain unsustainable spending levels? "
Listen, if the options are "maintain unsustainable spending levels and raise taxes" and "maintain unsustainable spending levels and cut taxes," which is the most reasonable option? Please note the commonality between the options. The Republicans do NOT want to cut spending, they want to cut social services and funding for the sciences, this is NOT the same as cutting spending because they want to INCREASE spending on defense and the military. Never mind the starting of wars that have their OWN funding separate for the Pentagon's massive budget.
The Republican jobs agenda is "Do the same thing and hope for different results." You know, "insanity."
Illegal immigrants can't vote. Any capable of voting can vote and vote for whomever they damn well please.
And oh please, every time the Republicans deride anyone for playing politics I have a sudden attack of "Rolly Eye Syndrome"
I looked and I don't see a single thing in the Constitution dealing with immigration law. Mo Brooks must be reading the Heritage Foundation Constitution again.
Lolwhat? Do you have ANY idea how much federal loans come out to? Federal loans are not remotely the problem here. You think costs would go down if the federal government didn't help students go to school? No, they would go UP because less students could afford to go so the burden of funding would fall on less people. You know why costs are going up? Because the schools are getting less and less state funding directly so they are shifting their costs to the students. Try some critical thinking next time.
75% of nothing is nothing. They are paid by what they harvest.
Richard Shelby, fighting for the right to keep migrant workers paid squat and with no rights. Hurray Alabama.
A 50% pay raise would kill businesses that rely on migrant workers? There is no way in hell they could survive hiring US citizens.
That might be a problem - Social Security is federal assistance and dumb old people are the Republicans' biggest voting bloc, but sure, go ahead with your dumb idea. See what the Democrats care.
Now I know why so many Republicans are so mad about Obama theoretically not deporting enough people - they are mad that "illegal" immigrants are violating more laws than Republican states and they'll be hanged before they let Republican states fall to number 2 in federal law breaking.
I have NO idea what you people don't understand about the phrase "IT'S THE LAW."
Probably because republican states are the only ones ACTIVELY VIOLATING FEDERAL LAW.
You hillbillies have your stockings in a serious knot over "illegal" immigration but if the state is out-and-out violating federal law, then more power to them!
Also, I am reasonably convinced you have no idea what "fraud" means. Please try to stay off any juries for fraud trials.
I presume by "activists trying to manufacture votes" you mean "legal institutes trying to get Alabama to follow federal laws."
Pssst, entering the country illegally the first time is not actually a crime. But, hey, don't let that stop you from complaining that the state shouldn't have to follow federal law that would put more Democrats on the books.
This is why they have editors I imagine, my headline would read "Police have multihour standoff with empty home in search for Auburn suspect."
This is why nothing ever gets fixed. No one look into WHY people keep disproportionately dieing in car wrecks on the road, let's just blame the drivers and move on and not fix anything.

Artist Jan Dalton loves animals. They have played a big role in her life since childhood and appear often in her artwork.
About her new Art Central exhibit, All Gods Creatures, the artist says, My inspiration for the batiks came from a recent visit to the zoo. The sun was shining and I was off to explore one of my favorite subjects- all of Gods creatures big and small. My creative juices were flowing: the lions, the tigers, the flamingos, Oh my! The glorious colors, rich yet delicate- the graceful long necks and the wonderful feather clusters- theres only one way to express it and thats through a Batik watercolor on rice paper. Then I needed to do another batik, a sea turtle, and another, a group of silly horses.
See more of Daltons collection, All Gods Creatures, at Art Central Gallery during the month of September. Meet the artist at Third Thursday and find more of her work at www.artcgalleryltd.com.

Ranked #1 Children's Hospital by U.S. News & World Report
MyPatients provides referring primary care providers with secure access to their patients' information.
Boston Children's has launched the world's 1st program dedicated to offering hand transplants to children who qualify.
Innovation insider is a semi-monthly e-newsletter analyzes innovations at Boston Children's, other academic medical centers and from industry.

Support the hospital with a donation that helps kids get the care they need.
Learn more about our ranking as a top pediatric hospital here.
Our center is one of the most advanced pediatric transplant centers in the nation, distinguished by a combination of program breadth, clinical depth and multidisciplinary approach.
We do what's possible to avoid a transplant
Our team is at the forefront of treatments and technologies that enable many children to avoid a transplant or to extend the time before needing one.
From a novel bowel-lengthening procedure to one of today's most advanced ventricular assist devices (supporting blood circulation), we've got the means and experience to keep pre-transplant kids away from the operating room longer.
Popular Pediatric Transplant Center destinations
Our physicians, nurses and a staff of specialized supporting clinicians work together to give your child the best possible care. Each program is supported by a full-service laboratory and radiology services.
Our transplant teams have access to every medical and surgical specialty in the hospital for consultations.
Programs within the Pediatric Transplant Center
Research Programs within the Pediatric Transplant Center
When patients receive an organ transplant, their need for care doesn't end after surgery. In fact, transplant is just the beginning of a life-long medical journey.
No one knows this better than the team at Boston Children's Pediatric Transplant Center. Boston Children's offers a continuity of care that covers all aspects of healthy living for our patients, before and AFTER transplant. Services include:
At Boston Children's you can rest assured knowing that our multidisciplinary team of pediatric experts, in conjunction with world-class transplant surgeons and innovative researchers, are available to manage every aspect of your child's health, before and after transplant.
Our collaborative approach
Boston Children's first transplant program began in 1971. Since then our specialists have been dedicated to two goals:
Our collaborative approach to accomplishing these goals became formal in 2006, when Boston Children's heart, lung, liver, intestine, kidney and stem cell programs unified to form the Pediatric Transplant Center.
This centralized approach continues to benefit families and clinicians. Families are assured that Boston Children's is using all of its resources to care for their children. Specialists use this infrastructure to streamline quality improvement initiatives.
Teamwork is one key to our success. The second is determination to avoid a transplant whenever possible.
When necessary, transplantation is a powerful and life-enhancing treatment. Thanks in part to research led by the Pediatric Transplant Center specialists, outcomes and immunosuppression have advanced greatly in the last decade.
But it has its drawbacks: the wait for a suitable organ, pre-transplant regimens, the risks associated with the transplant operation and the lifelong need to prevent rejection and avoid infection. For these reasons our clinicians will do everything in their power to help your child avoid, or delay, transplant.
Innovative treatment helps patient with kidney failure
Sarah Pastore was born with bright blue eyes, a beautiful smile and a single, failing kidney. She fared well in her first few months, but by the time she approached her first birthday it was clear a kidney transplant was needed.
But thanks to a new and innovative medical treatment by William Harmon, MD, chief of Nephrology at Boston Children's Hospital, Sarah will grow up needing fewer anti-rejection medications than most transplant patients. Read Sarah's story.
Jack's battle with HLHS
Jack was born with hypoplastic left heart syndrome (HLHS), a congenital heart defect where the left half of his heart didn't develop normally when he was in the womb. At just two days old he began showing symptoms and was rushed to Boston Children's Hospital's Neonatal Intensive Care Unit.
When it became clear that Jack's only hope for survival was heart transplant, his mother says she was glad he was in the care of Boston Children's Pediatric Transplant Center. Read Jack's story.
Delaying Transplant Surgery
A blocked urethra caused reflux in Andrew's bladder and kidney, damaging it so badly that a transplant would eventually be needed. But the team at the Pediatric Transplant Center was able to delay Andrew's transplant until he was older, making treatment much easier on him and his family. Read Andrew's story.
Alannah's multivisceral transplant
In the fall of 2007 the lives of Alannah and her grandmother, Debi, changed in a way that not many can imagine: Alannah was diagnosed with a rare and incurable tumor. Alannah was only 5 at the time and treatment options were few, but they were willing to try them all—surgery, chemotherapy, trial drugs—anything to save her. The road to recovery took them to Boston Children's Hospital, where a team led by Heung Bae Kim, MD, director of Children's Pediatric Transplant Center (PTC), removed Alannah's tumor and replaced the six organs that had been damaged by its presence. Read their full story here.
Caitlin's new liver
When Shawnna was pregnant with Caitlin, she was confident she knew what to expect. After all, this was her third pregnancy, what surprises could there be? But just hours after birth, routine blood work showed that Caitlin's blood platelets were very low and her liver was barely functioning. Caitlin was only a few hours old but she had already started to turn yellow from jaundice. It was serious so the doctors wasted no time in rushing her to Boston Children's Hospital.
Read more about Caitlin, and her eventual liver transplant, here.
Our Transplantation Research Program creates an environment for scientists and physicians to collaborate in all matters related to transplantation and immunology.
The Transplantation Research Program is intended to share new knowledge, and to speed results gained from research into innovative and improved approaches to caring for kids who need transplant.
Rima Fawaz, MD, Medical Director of the Intestine & Multivisceral Transplant Program, listens to the heart of a delighted patient.
As the science of transplantation has gotten better, the patients whose lives are saved by other people's organs are living longer and longer. But it comes at a price—a lifetime of immunosuppressive drugs.
William Harmon, chief of Nephrology at Boston Children's Hospital, is trying to change that with an innovative new therapy approach that could reduce, possibly even eliminate, the need for young kidney transplant patients.
Read the full story.
The future of pediatrics will be forged by thinking differently, breaking paradigms and joining together in a shared vision of tackling the toughest challenges before us."

August 4, 2015
A shooting 14 months ago that left a local mother of two dead has landed the shooter a probation sentence.
Kenneth Connor, 23, will spend the next ten years on probation after a guilty plea for criminally negligent homicide. He faces prison time if he violates the terms.
On New Year's Day 2012, Connor, Whitney Paskey-Pullen and Colin McHenry were at an apartment on Cain Road in College Station when a gun Connor was allegedly waving around went off, striking Paskey-Pullen, 21, in the head and killing her.
Connor had been in the Brazos County jail since the day after the shooting on more than $100,000 bond awaiting trial.
Connor and McHenry had reportedly each dated Paskey-Pullen. McHenry had been arrested a week before the shooting for allegedly assaulting Paskey-Pullen.
Both Connor and McHenry have prior drug-related arrests, and authorities believe the trio was smoking marijuana before the shooting.
McHenry, 24, faces trial on May 14 for a felony charge of unlawful possession of a firearm. He was jailed two days after the shooting on a drug possession charge, and has been behind bars since his January 21, 2012 arrest on the firearm charge and others. Bond is set at $56,000 total.

Deer Registrations Are Up in the County
Its the final week of the 2013 deer hunt and this year's hunt has been one of the most successful in recent years.
Department of Inland Fisheries and Wildlife Biologist Rich Hoppe says deer registrations are up in the County.
Ben's Trading Post in Presque Isle has been extremely busy they are averaging about 6 deer registrations a day. The total number of deer tagged is up from last year and significantly up from 2007. Ben Leblanc says that he has talked to several people who are very excited about the season
"They are very excited a lot of guys looking forward to this week Thanksgiving week. There is snow on the ground even more muzzle loaders and guys waiting and taking vacation for muzzle loading. Less pressure from other hunters and there is still some big deer out there."
Leblanc said that Ben's Trading Post is averaging about 6 tags a day. He said that the deer that have been registered are looking good
"They seem to be tagging more bucks with larger racks and real good shape. Several bucks this year over 200 pounds as high as 222 really nice bucks big racks wide racks 22 plus inches."
He said the increase in the deer harvest has also been beneficial to sales at the Trading Post
" Last year the deer kill was up and we sold a few ore rifles this year a lot more deer have been spotted. Because of that people started buying new rifles or updating their rifles it has been good for sales.
