Players show skills at jamboree
At Monday night's Sevier County jamboree, the area's top 3-point and free throw shooters and slam dunkers competed head-to-head to stake their claim as the county's best.
The four contests — girls free throw shooting, boys and girls three-point shooting, and slam dunking — are always the most eagerly-anticipated events on Jamboree night, and the drama Monday did nothing to end that trend.
The girls' 3-point competition was the most contested of the four events, as it took a shot in the final seconds to decide the champion.
The shootout came down Gatlinburg-Pittman's Karsen Sims and Pigeon Forge's Callie Clabo.
Sims had made nine shots in the first round to reach the finals, while Clabo had gunned in 10.
In the final round the competitors were given 45 seconds to see how many buckets from long range they could make, with each taking an opposite end of the court.
The pair traded hoops nearly shot-for-shot, until Clabo drilled a go-ahead basket just before time expired to take the title 10-9.
The boys 3-point shooting was not as close.
Sevier County's Trent Pope was on fire, hitting a round-best 11 in the first go-round, and toppling G-P's Raj Bhula 14-8 in the championship round of shooting.
Both shooters came out of relative obscurity, as neither played many varsity minutes last season. Both Pope and Bhula should see improved playing time this season, however, after vast off-season improvements.
In the girls' free-thow contest, Sevier County's Kelsey Wypych, G-P's Haris Price and Pigeon Forge's Mindy Brackins were the last three girls standing.
The event, in which a line of competitors alternate free throws with missers leaving the line, was quickly decided after Price clanked one of the iron to leave just two shooters.
Just seconds after Price missed, so did Brackins, leaving the door open for Wypych, who calmly knocked down the contest winner.
In fan-favorite competition — the slam dunk contest — Sevier County's Devin Schmidt and defending champion D.J. Griffin of Seymour went head-to-head for the crown.
Only one other first-round dunker actually made a slam — Gatlinburg-Pittman's Davis Soehn.
But Schmidt's dunk and Griffin's were deemed better, landing the pair in the finals.
With the title on the line, Schmidt's degree of difficulty resulted in him missing both of his attempts.
Griffin was quick to take advantage.
Leaping over teammate Douglas Maples, Griffin brought the crowd to its feet with a monster jam. As an encore he rocked a thunderous off-the-glass jam.
The two dunks were more than enough for him to win the competition for the second-straight year.

Please get the rest you need when you are sick. If you need help getting to the Health Center, call Public Safety. If you have the flu, ask friends or your HA to bring you food from the dining halls. Please do not go to the dining halls if you have the flu or other contagious illnesses.
Communicate with your professors. If you miss class due to illness, send your professors an email to let them know that you are sick. Professors will understand that you can't attend class when you are sick. In fact, they usually will be grateful that you are being conscientious about not spreading your germs to others! If you cannot email your professors because you are staying at the Health Center, the nurse will call your dean if you give her permission to do so. Your dean will then email your professors to explain your absence. Please give the nurse the names and email addresses of any professors who are outside the Bi-Co.
You do not have to obtain excuse notes from the Health Center or emails from your deans to "prove" that you have been sick. We assume that you are operating on the Honor Code, and we expect everyone to be guided by it in their communications with us and with their professors. The Health Center does not issue excuse notes, and the deans do not want to be in the position of routinely confirming that a student is ill.
If you are sick for more than a day or two, contact your dean. If you become very worried about falling behind in your course work, please share that with us. We will strategize with you about how to catch up with your work.
Try to request extensions in advance of the deadlines. Be realistic and ask for an extension before a due date arrives. Your professors will appreciate that you are planning ahead and being organized even when you are sick. Inform your professors of serious conflicts in making up tests or assignments so that an extension in one course does not lead to problems in other courses. If you have already been absent a number of times or have fallen behind in the course work before your illness, your professor may choose to contact your dean to discuss your situation.
Your dean does not have to write your professor for you to obtain an extension. However, if you are falling behind in more than one class and need more than one extension, please let your dean know. Your dean can help you coordinate due dates. Keep in mind that deans must be consulted if extensions go into the exam period or beyond.

Senate Bill 154 Aims to Enhance Information-Sharing Relating to School Safety, Improve School Safety Plans, and Reduce Bullying
MADISON - Attorney General J.B. Van Hollen submitted testimony to the Senate Committee on Education in support of 2009 Senate Bill 154. The bill, which was introduced by the Joint Legislative Council after it was developed by the Special Committee on School Safety, addresses information-sharing between schools and other entities, bullying, and school safety plans.
According to Van Hollen, information-sharing is a key public safety tool. Van Hollen's noted that the proposals in SB 154 will encourage schools to appropriately share information, remove existing barriers to sharing safety-related information, and require the criminal justice system share certain information with schools.
I believe these proposals, and the bill as a whole, move the law in the right direction and will enhance school safety, thus contributing to the education and well-being of our kids and communities, Van Hollen wrote.
Last September, Van Hollen testified before the Special Committee on School Safety and offered versions of the proposals which are contained in the bill that relate to information sharing. Van Hollen's testimony to the Special Committee on School Safety proposing changes to state law relating to sharing information.
In 2007, Van Hollen participated in a nationwide task force of State Attorneys General formed to study and report on campus and school safety issues. The Task Force's report.

Building an App UI with PrimeFaces [Video]
Building an App UI with PrimeFaces [Video]
Video Details
About This Video
- Develop an attractive and functional UI for your application with PrimeFaces and other technologies
- Secure your implementations with Tomcat and web.xml
- Use JSF template and CSS to make your UI look the way you want it to
Who This Video Is For
If you know Java and want to develop great looking UIs for your web applications using PrimeFaces, then this tutorial is just for you. You do not need any previous web or database experience.
Table of Contents
What You Will Learn
- Configure PrimeFaces and Spring and then create a JSF web application in NetBeans
- Transfer data from a local to a remote Mongo database using MongoVue
- Develop your webpage using PrimeFaces, create a Spring managed bean, and link both together
- Create a Spring service as well as a MongoDB data access object and connect them to your frontend
- Build a Data List page and develop CRUD data display web pages using a reusable JSF component
- Enhance the security of your UI by configuring the Tomcat settings and the web.xml
- Set up a JSF template and extend it with the help of CSS
In Detail
PrimeFaces is a leading frontend framework that helps you build a user interface which is flexible without a fuss. It's one of the fastest ways to create great looking and fully functional websites. When coupled with JavaServer Faces (JSF) you will be able to not only create websites very quickly, but also ones that are extensible and maintainable.
The tutorial starts off with configuring the required components: PrimeFaces, NetBeans, MongoDB, MongoVUE, JSF, and Spring. You then go on to develop a very basic JSF and PrimeFaces UI for your website using Spring and Mongo running on a Tomcat server. Next you will upgrade the website using more features like the creation of the data administration pages and securing the administration pages. Finally you will use CSS and JSF templates to finish off a functional database-driven website with a beautiful and neat interface.
This set of videos will show you how to take full advantage of PrimeFaces by coupling it with JSF, Spring, and MongoDB to create a user interface that meets your demands of flexibility and extensibility.
Style and Approach
Packt video courses are designed to cover the breadth of the topic in short, hands-on, task-based videos. Each course is divided into short manageable sections, so you can watch the whole thing or jump to the bit you need. The focus is on practical instructions and screencasts showing you how to get the job done.
This is a comfortably-paced video tutorial that starts off with the basic concepts and gradually picks up speed by integrating PrimeFaces with a range of other software to develop a website with an attractive interface and advanced features.

Men's Tennis | Saturday, April 16, 2011
Willamette Downs Whitworth 5-1 at NWC Tournament
Bearcats will Face Whitman on Sunday for NCAA Bid
WALLA WALLA, WASH. -- Willamette University defeated Whitworth University, 5-1, in the semifinals of the Northwest Conference Men's Tennis Tournament on Saturday, April 16. The Bearcats will now take on Whitman College in the finals on Sunday, April 17. Whitman defeated Pacific University, 5-0, in the other semifinal.
The Bearcats, who are ranked #11 in the West Region of NCAA Division III, increased their record to 13-5 on the season. Whitworth, ranked #15 in the West Region, dropped to 11-10.
In Saturday's match with the Pirates, Willamette took a 2-1 lead with wins at #1 and #2 doubles. Willamette closed out the match by claiming wins in the first three singles matches to be completed.
"The team played a great match today," Willamette Head Coach Toby Krauel said. "We played a senior-laden Whitworth squad. We played well in doubles. Our singles was even better than our doubles. The guys played great.
"We're excited to advance to our second straight Northwest Conference title match," Krauel added.
At #1 doubles, Willamette's team of Michael Baumgartner (So., Albany, OR/West Albany HS) and Matthew Houser (Sr., Vancouver, WA/Evergreen HS) defeated Colin Zalewski and Joe Wales, 8-5. The Bearcats won a close match at #2 doubles, as Joshua Wong (So., Hilo, HI/Hilo HS) and Cody Ferguson (Jr., North Bend, OR/North Bend HS/Western Oregon Univ.) outlasted Daniel Redfern and Colin Barrett, 8-6.
Whitworth's lone victory was achieved at #3 doubles by Henry Williams and Dustin McConnell, who downed Garrett Vincent (Fr., Gresham, OR/Centennial HS) and Will Agnew-Svoboda (Fr., Corvallis, OR/Corvallis HS), 8-3.
Willamette increased its lead to 3-1 when Houser rolled past Barrett, 6-1, 6-2, at #4 singles. Ferguson added a 6-2, 6-1 win at #3 singles over Wales. Wong picked up a solid win at #1 singles, 6-2, 6-0, against Daniel Redfern to earn Willamette's fifth point and end the overall match.
The NWC Tournament final is a re-match from last year's final, in which Whitman was victorious, 5-1. The Missionaries also defeated the Bearcats earlier this season, 9-0, but that match was played nearly two months ago on Feb. 21.
"We're just going to do what we've been doing which is bring energy from the first ball in doubles until the last ball in singles," Krauel said. "We are an improved team from when we met them (Whitman) the first time. We are going to play to win."

The Vampire Diaries
The Biggest Logic Fails in The Vampire Diaries Season 3, Episode 5: "The Reckoning"
The Vampire Diaries is a show where witches can bring back people from the dead, vampires kiss humans instead of ripping their throats out, and werewolves have silky smooth chests when they haven't transformed. And we accept all of this without the blink of the eye. Yet it's the little things that make us scoff and say, "That would never happen." Check out the biggest logic fails from Season 3, Episode 5, "The Reckoning."
4. Matt = The Uninvited
We know his new bestie was locked in a trunk for a fair part of this episode and wouldn't be participating in Senior Prank Night anyway, but did no one else think to call Matt for the festivities? The poor guy was all alone working on his biceps and tri-delts when he heard strange noises. Forgetting that he lived in Mystic Falls, the murder capitol of the world, he went to investigate. Don't worry, it's not a killer, just all your best friends hanging out without you. Sad trombone noise.
3. Klaus is compelling
Look, we know that high schoolers can be gullible and it's somewhat believable that they'd scatter at an adult telling them they've been busted, but no one challenged Klaus? Really? Because we feel like there's usually that one obnoxious kid who would've asked, "Who are you? A new teacher?" so that Klaus could've ripped his face off or something. Plus, why was Klaus using his American accent? The British one sounds so much more authoritative.
2. Mystic Falls High has a swimming pool?
At this point, TVD really needs to have an episode exploring the nooks and crannies of Mystic Falls High School. For a building that gets so rarely used, it's certainly pretty large if it has an indoor swimming pool. It probably has a Sunnydale High School-caliber library, state-of-the-art scientific laboratory, and Forbes family-style torture dungeon. And considering there were roughly 12 seniors at prank night, we just don't see why they don't just downgrade to a one-room schoolhouse.
1. Rebekah didn't say "the bee's knees" once
We weren't alive back in the '20s when it was all speakeasies and flapper dresses, but Rebekah seems to have adjusted to modern times really quickly. Shouldn't she have been saying things like, "Hey, dame; this horn's the cat's pajamas. It must've cost you a few clams. Now be a good egg and scram, ya bearcat." We're still confused about how she managed to zoom in on that photo of Elena's (Nina Dobrev) necklace so easily. Technological genius!

The numbers are in for the school choice merry go round this year in South Burlington.
A total of five children, four from Chamberlin Elementary and one from Orchard Elementary, have transferred to Rick Marcotte Central School.
As I reported a few weeks ago, South Burlington was required to offer students at two of its elementary schools the opportunity to transfer to the city's remaining grade school, Rick Marcotte Central. The No Child Left Behind federal education reform takes the credit or blame, depending on your perspective.
Orchard and Chamberlin missed progress targets on standardized tests for two consecutive years, while Central, which has a lower poverty rate, made the targets. This triggered the No Child Left Behind provision on school choice.
It's interesting to see the response to the offer. We don't get the chance to observe this aspect of NCLB in play very often in Vermont because so many of our school districts are small, with just one school at a given grade span. That essentially shuts down the NCLB choice provision even though the majority of Vermont schools – 73 percent – missed No Child Left Behind's ever-increasing targets in 2012.
South Burlington Schools Superintendent David Young is interpreting the small number of transfers as a vote of confidence in the two identified schools and in the district's neighborhood school system.
"The way it played out is very telling of our school system," Young told me. "There's a lot of trust and connection to our community based schooling."
What's your take on the No Child Left Behind school choice option? And what do you think about the tradition of neighborhood schools which use address as the basis of student assignment?

The Vampire Diaries
Vampire Diaries Season 4, Episode 7, "My Brother's Keeper" Speculation — Who Will Die Next?
So... is Mystic Falls even dangerous at the moment? The Town Council has been blown to high heaven. Connor's (Todd Williams) gone, and the new hunter is Elena's (Nina Dobrev) brother, Jeremy (Steven R. McQueen). Sure, Professor Shane (David Alpay) is vaguely menacing, but he's, like, in love with Bonnie (Kat Graham) — or her magic.
In Vampire Diaries Season 4, Episode 7, "My Brother's Keeper," it's Miss Mystic Falls season. Yay. Town events are usually a little deadly. Maybe Klaus (Joseph Morgan) will get vicious, but with Caroline (Candice Accola) on his arm, he's likely to be on his best hybrid behavior.
Well, someone has to go, right? Well, this week marks Olympic gold medalist Gabby Douglas's guest spot on TVD. How cool would it be to fake die on your favorite show? Let's hope the writers did Gabby a solid and found a cool way for her character to go out. Otherwise, this is shaping up to be the safest Mystic Falls event in history!

Charity Gayla at Toledo Club Dec. 3Written by Brigitta Burks | News Editor | firstname.lastname@example.com
A fashion show, drag queen performances and an all-around good time are in store for those who attend the Holiday with Heart Charity Gayla, the calendar event of the season for Toledo's lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender community.
The 34th annual event is set for Dec. 3 at 5:30 p.m. with proceeds benefiting the Pride of Toledo Foundation and AIDS research by Dr. Joan Duggan of the University of Toledo Medical Center.
"It's just grown tremendously. It started in 1977 with 16 in attendance and last year, it sold out," said Rick Cornett, a member of the Gayla's board of directors.
The board chooses two different charities to support every year. The Pride Foundation hosted the successful Toledo Pride parade this summer, said board member Andrew Larsen.
"That's an organization that really needs some assistance to make next year's event even bigger and better than it was this year," he said.
The Gayla often supports AIDS charities because so much research and work still needs to be done, Cornett said. "It's the 30th year since AIDS has come to the surface and no matter who we support, we always try to keep that in focus," he said.
The Holiday with Heart Charity Gayla also started a fund with the Toledo Community Foundation, which will help the board manage its funds and give throughout the year. "That's going to enable us to support many more charities than the two to three we do now," Larsen said.
Last year's event raised $7,500 with more than 200 in attendance. This year, Cornett said the goal is $15,000 with corporate sponsorships and 300 in attendance.
Registrants can make memorial donations in the name of Richard Flock, who recently passed away. "He was an icon, especially to this event. He was one of the founding members," Cornett said.
Drag queens MaKayla Sinclaire Styles and Twila Starr will also perform at the Gayla. Each will sing a Christmas song and another "regular, fun song," Cornett said. In addition, Cityboyz Fashion Menswear will present a mini fashion show. Holiday with Heart Charity Gayla ornaments will be on sale for $10 at the event, Cornett said. Each ornament is marked with the year, and if they sell well, the Gayla will release a new tree-trimmer each year.
Cornett emphasized that the whole community is invited. "Everyone's welcome, we want everyone to come," he said. "A lot of people think it's just for gays and lesbians, but it's not."
The Gayla will take place at The Toledo Club, 235 14th St. Reservations are $65 and must be made by Nov. 25. To register, visit www.hwhcharitygayla.org or call Cornett at (419) 470- 3937. Toledo Free Press is a media sponsor of the Gayla.

UFC picks up top Chechen featherweight prospect Zubair Tuhugov and Korean lightweight Tae Hyun Bang
The UFC is continuing it's signing binge from last month with the pickup of top Chechen Prospect Zubair Tuhugov and another strong Korean in Tae Hyun Bang.
I've said this before, but for every handful of nondescript prospects I find myself talking about there's one really good one. Zubair Tuhugov is that prospect. A Russian Combat Sambo national champion, the 22 year old Tuhugov is already 15-3 in his 3-year MMA career. For those bad at math, that's six fights per year. Tuhugov is a bit hard to track down in terms of training camp, but I know he most recently spent a lot of time at Phuket Top Team, home to Bellator's Anthony Leone. Globo's Combate has the report.
Primarily a striker by trade, the featherweight Chechen, Tuhugov, has only one submission wins to his record and just five of his victories have come via TKO. However this belies his slick striking abilities. Unlike some of his current UFC Sambo counterparts, who rely more on timing and dynamism, Tuhugov is a polished, well reasoned striker with great head movement and fast hands. He fights with the confidence of a Sambo champion as well, making him a formidable talent in the ring. He does occasionally wing a few punches, but nothing that wont polish out with time and discipline. Because he favors a more boxing heavy stance he is somewhat more susceptible to takedowns, but gets to his feet well and is a beast in the clinch. Unfortunately for him (or fortunately, if he does well) he's getting top prospect treatment, as he'll be making his UFC debut against promotional mainstay Thiago Tavares in his first fight at featherweight at UFC Fight Night 36 in Jaragua do Sul, Brazil.
Another pair of recently announced signings have been confirmed for the UFC's upcoming Singapore card, which will see South Korean Tae Hyun Bang take on Austria's Mairbek Taisumov. The 30 year old Tae Hyun Bang trains out of Korean Top Team, alongside current UFC welterweight Hyun Gyu Lim, and former UFC middleweight Dongi Yang. He's 16-7 in a fighting career that stretches all the way back to 2004 and includes wins over Jutaro Nakao, Luiz Andrade, and Kazunori Yokota, as well as losses to Takanori Gomi and Jorge Masvidal (both by decision). In fact he's only lost once by stoppage, with the majority of his wins coming via the judges as well. It's notable as well, that his fights against Gomi and Masvidal appear recent on his record as he took three years off after a loss in 2010, to return with a TKO win in June of this year.

In times past, the Thanksgiving holiday was ushered in by pie making as it is even today in some homes. In their memoirs, some Victorian era writers recalled their childhood excitement when they saw their mother begin to assemble mincemeat, knowing that the holiday was right around the corner. Mincemeat pie making began with chopping meat, suet, apples, picking over currants and asking the children to pick out the seeds in raisins. The words "seedless raisins" are virtually meaningless today since seedless grapes have been common since the late 1800s in America. Formerly, raisins were larger, dried grapes, really, and their seeds had to be picked out by hand.
Early American mothers also recruited their children to pound and sift spices. Cloves, allspice, cinnamon, and nutmeg bought whole had to be pulverized in a mortar and pestle, then sifted through a sieve before cooks added the spices to mincemeat, pumpkin, or apple pies.
All this activity resulted in many pies, some of which were devoured at Thanksgiving dinner or shared with needy neighbors. Others were set away in cold parts of house, in pie safes, often to freeze. For a month or more, a hostess had pies ready to warm up on the hearth when company arrived.
In some houses, plum pudding was another Thanksgiving treat, one we associate with Christmas. There is a good reason for this. Early New Englanders, Mainers included, tended not to celebrate Christmas until the later 1800s. Instead, they indulged in all their favorite festive foods on Thanksgiving. When the irresistible attractions of Christmas prevailed in the 1890s or so, few people could envision a nicer meal than the one they had on Thanksgiving, so recreated it on December 25, turkey, pie, plum pudding and all.

Most urban concerns occur during the nesting season. Hen mallards often nest under shrubbery in residential areas near water in urban areas. This is not unusual because, in natural settings, mallards nest away from water, not along the shoreline, to avoid nest predators. When the young hatch its best not to disturb the hens because they will abandon the nest. If a hen is in the process of building the nest and it is in an undesirable location, attempt to disrupt the construction to discourage continued nest building. If the nest has been built and the hen is incubating the eggs, the best approach is to avoid the vicinity until the eggs hatch. All eggs will hatch during a very short period, and then soon after, the hen will move the chicks to water. This may involve a long march through a residential area to a city lake or pond.
Fencing acts like an artificial vegetation barrier. Fences need to be only 18 inches tall
Methyl anthranilate can be used as a repellent that causes irritation when they come into contact with it.
Scarecrows, effigies, homemade plastic flags, Mylar streamers and other deterrents that move in a breeze can be highly effective in some cases.
Canada geese reside year-round locally throughout much of Wyoming, and large numbersof migrant Canada geese occupy parts of Wyoming during the fall and winter. Canada geese provide valuable huntingand viewing opportunities, but, in urban and suburban areas, local concentrations of geese can lead to conflicts between geese and people. During established hunting seasons, the disturbance associated with hunting activity is an effectiveway to reduce goose use of specific locations. In suburban and urban areas, however, hunting is usually not an option, and Canada geese often create problems during the spring and summer. In these situations, the alternative approaches summarized below can be useful.
Non-lethal control activities (e.g., activities in which there is no direct contact with geese and that do not result in harm to geese, goslings, eggs, or nests) do not require federal permits (do check state regulations and local ordinances), and most non-lethal activities can be conducted throughout the year. Any activities that result in handling, damage, or destruction of geese, or their eggs or nests, require permits from Wyoming Game and Fish Department. The primary control activity conducted under available permits is egg and nest control of locally-breeding geese. This activity is usually conducted following, and in conjunction with, non-lethal control methods.
The Wyoming Game and Fish Department (WGFD) has been issued a special statewide permit by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. This permit allows the WGFD to destroy eggs and nests of breeding Canada geese. In most cases, eggs are 'oiled'-100% corn oil (a substance exempted from regulation by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency) is applied to eggs in the nest; the oil prevents the eggs from developing and hatching. The WGFD allows landowners and land managers to conduct egg control activities under the statewide permit and provides guidance and technical assistance to sub-permittees.
Written permission from the Wyoming Game and Fish Department is required before any interference with eggs or nests can begin (contact the permitting office) for more information about applying for a federal permit to conduct egg or nest control activities.
Do not feed or allow feeding of geese or other waterfowl on your property. Efforts to frighten geese away can be thwarted if nearby neighbors are feeding the geese. If geese are being fed in the area/ it will be very difficult to persuade them to move elsewhere.
Geese dislike visual barriers between ponds and feeding areas. Planting trees, thick bushes, or a dense hedge between grassy areas and water may make your property less attractive to geese. While the living barrieris growing thick enough to be useful, you may need to use other methods, such as temporary fencing or repellents to keep the geese from establishing in the area. Geese prefer mowed grasses; so leaving a buffer area of tall grass and wildflowers can create a visual and physical barrier to resident geese.
Some people are successful by placing physical barriers, such as fences and boulders, to prevent geese from entering an area. The fence should be at least two feet high and have openings no larger than three-by-three inches. Chain link, chicken wire, construction fence, and wood can be used. Where appropriate, electrical fencing can provide a harmless-but effective-shock to discourage geese from entering an area; check with your local authorities to see if there are safety restrictions on electrical fencing.
There are several commercial repellents advertised to keep geese off of lawns. These products must be applied according to label directions to be effective; they may need to be reapplied after rain1 or twice weekly in dry conditions. Approved repellents are made from biodegradable, food-grade ingredients and are not toxic to birds, dogs, cats, or humans.
A permit is not required to scare repel, or herd geese to protect your property, as long as the birds are not killed or harmed. Hazing geese can involve vigorously chasing geese with a broom or water hose. Repeated hazing can cause geese to relocate, but you must begin again if geese return. Hazing is most effective when geese first arrive at a location.
Some landowners and land managers have used highly trained herding dogs with skilled handlers to chase geese off their properties. This is not a method to be tried with a canine pet-dogs cannot be allowed to harm geese or other waterfowl. Check with a game warden or stop by a WGFD regional office for guidance before using dogs to chase geese. Leash laws in most cities and towns do not allow dogs to run free to chase geese. However, where allowed and used consistently, this method has proven successful in persuading geese to avoid local sites.
Check with local authorities before starting noise making, but loud and surprising noises can be a deterrent to resident geese. Where allowed, 12-gauge 'cracker shells' and other sharp, percussive sounds can prompt geese to move to another, more peaceful location. Be sure to let neighbors know in advance of noise-making plans.
As a short-term tactic, often used with other methods, geese can sometimes be scared away using various shapes and movements. Scare tape is thin, shiny ribbon, often silver on one side and red on the other. Place the reflective tape where it is visible to the geese and make a low fence across the area where you don't want geese to cross. Tie short lengths of the shiny ribbon on the cross tape-the flashing and rattling of the tape can frighten geese. People, pets, and wind can break the tape, so it needs to be inspected and repaired daily to be useful.
Some locations have acquired swans (with clipped wings-so they cannot fly) and released them on a pond or lake to frighten away geese. This method is not recommended where the swans will come in regular contact with people, as they can be aggressive to humans as well as geese. Check local laws to be sure swans are allowed in your area. Be aware that swans can also breed, and care must be taken to ensure you don't create an over-population of swans, instead!
In non-urban areas where firearm discharge is allowed, hunting of Canada geese remains a cost-effective way to manage goose populations. Hunters who purchase state licenses and federal waterfowl stamps contribute to the costs associated with hunting waterfowl and help reduce overpopulation of Canada geese.
In summary, if you want to discourage Canada geese, respond quickly, stay persistent, and try to use more than one method at a time. If feeding is occurring in the immediate area, all other methods to discourage geese may be of little use. Be certain to check local ordinances and obtain any necessary state or local permits (as outlined, above) before beginning any control measures.

Suggestion for next year: Can we come up with a route that still allows people to travel within the city of Kalamazoo? It took my sister 45 minutes to go from the east side to the west side to meet us for Mother's Day. Church attendance was sparse because many people couldn't find a way to get downtown.
The event was good, but can the non-runners also still have access to downtown?
It definitely sounds to me like the bishop is trying to get his hands on the congregation's money. It is too bad that in the Episcopal system the local congregation apparently has no power to control the personal they pay. The bishop's threat about financial dispersements is chilling. Love of money is the root of all kinds of evil.
We can't keep paying people for not working. Losing benefits is a clear sign they need to get out there and take whatever work they can get. If we still have illegal immigrants, there must be jobs out there.

I would agree that Mary Balkema should be out of office. She's doing Robo-calling against the ballot issue, and she's even making calls outside the city, to people who can't vote on the issue. It's sure easy to assume that she's using her position as a county official to fight this ordinance. Even if I agreed with her stand, I would find her tactics inappropriate and offensive. If she's using county resources, I would call it fraud, too. How do we start a recall?
Here's a question I have not been able to find an answer to:
If all these sick students (including my two) have already had H1N1, do they now have immunity? Is there any reason to get the vaccine if you have already been sick?
I would love to know the answer to this.
Julie, thank you for reading the footnotes and pointing out the problems in this MEA report.
I personally have always admired teachers, and have several friends who teach.
However, they can't keep claiming to be underpaid and undervalued when they make twice the money made by many M.A.s I know, and probably three times what I make despite my magna cum laude B.A.
Teachers live very comfortably, get support and funding for their professional development, and have Cadillac benefits.
They should stop denying it and instead focus on this fact: they are shaping future Americans and deserve our support.

No one is asking me, but as a tax payer, I say NO NO NO!
How about putting a couple of those millions into improving public transportation?
I've never blacked out, but I have had coughing fits that made it impossible to drive. I had to pull over a couple of times. This is the worst allergy season ever.
Each airport maintains an air traffic control tower, but only Kalamazoo's will have radar crews? How does that work?
What's the difference between the two scoring records in Paragraph 2?
Also, if the record was 50, Appling would have had to score two more points, not one, to break that record. One more point would tie the record.
So where are all these people living after they lose their homes? Apartments in this town aren't any cheaper than houses.
A 17-year-old is not what I'd consider a child.
Honestly, only a teen would show such poor judgment as walking on a railroad track with (apparently) loud music blaring in his headphones. A child would be more cautious.

In a recent report, it has been made clear that the sales of cholesterol blockbuster Lipitor have tumbled down by 50% in a single week as the market is flooded with new prescriptions for generic Lipitor. Though stern efforts were made by Lipitor maker Pfizer to ensure that patients stray with their pull, it was observed that majority of the patients had switched their preference.
It has been known that the makers had lost patent protection on November 30 in the U. S, after which there were many generic versions making way in the market. It was said that after the decision, India's Ranbaxy Laboratories along with Pfizer released generic version in the market thereby ensuring that there is going to be tough competition to the makers of Lipitor in the coming time.
There was significant attention given to this case across the industry as it was found that there have been many cases where generic drugs pose serious competition to accrual drug makers, thereby imposing escalated loss of revenue over the coming few years. It has been made clear from the data firm IMS Health on prescriptions for Lipitor and other drugs which could lower LDL or bad cholesterol, that there is significant decrease in number of drugs to 359,235 in the seven days ended December 9, as compared to 724,799 Lipitor prescriptions filled a month earlier.
In response to the news, shares of Lipitor moved down to 9.7% from 20.7% over that period. However, there has been report that owing to a new Crestor ad campaign, Crestor from Britain's AstraZeneca PLC had been able to retain market share of 12.3%.
There has been rise in the number of prescriptions filled from November 11 to December 9 of generic versions of three older statins - Zocor, Pravachol and Mevacor, as compare to Lipitor and Crestor.

Interview: Army Wives' Joseph Julian Soria.
Wednesday, December 19 2012
JJ Soria (Darrin VanGorder)
"I have plans for a big year."
It has been a busy year for Joseph Julian Soria and 2013 is shaping up to be another blowout. Last year Soria joined the cast of Lifetime's hit drama "Army Wives" as Private First Class, Hector Cruz, an all American soldier deeply in love with his wife, Gloria (Alyssa Diaz).
About to begin its seventh season, "Army Wives" is getting completely revamped with Kim Delaney exiting and Sally Pressman taking a backseat in the series. This leaves room for new characters to have larger storylines, including Hector and Gloria. Soria took some time away from celebrating his father's birthday to speak with Soaps.com about how he got the role of Hector and his new movie "Filly Brown," which premiered at the 2012 Sundance Film Festival. "Filly Brown" also features Latin recording artist Jenni Rivera, who died earlier this month in a tragic plane crash after one of her concerts.
How were you originally approached about the role of Hector?
Through an audition. I was in the gym like usual and checked my emails real quick and realized I had an audition in an hour and a half and just ran home. It's funny – it was one of those moments that actually could have been in a film where everything that could go wrong did go wrong. My printer didn't have any ink so I couldn't print out my lines. I was all stinky from the gym but I didn't have any time to take a shower and just rushed to the audition. So I ended up going straight there, looking at the material for a little bit and went in. That night they said they wanted to see me back tomorrow for a chemistry read with the woman they were casting as my wife, Alyssa Diaz. I had previously worked with Alyssa, not on screen but in auditions, and so I was familiar with her work and we had a good chemistry. So I went in there and did that and booked the job and before I knew it I was on a plane to South Carolina.
We hear your role is expanding this season. Is there going to be more of a focus around Hector and Gloria?
There is definitely going to be more drama. I don't want to say too much but just expect more drama. They are still going on a roller coaster of a ride, learning about each other and learning about what they want.
Olmos and Soria (Curtis Sabir/WENN.com)
Your film "Filly Brown" has been in the works a while now. Tell us about it.
It is a special film. I got the opportunity to work with a good friend of mine, Gina Rodriguez, and of course Edward James Olmos and Lou Diamond Phillips. Meeting and getting to talk with Edward James was great and having him compliment my work was amazing. It was a great honor to work with the people I got to work with. I didn't get to work with Jenni Rivera on set. I just met her at an award ceremony. Unfortunately, her passing happened but I am glad she got to be a part of the project.
Tell us about your character in the film, MC Wyatt.
Quite simply, he is an assh*le. That is the best way to put it. He has had to fight for everything he does and I have to back him up, that is my job. From MC Wyatt's perspective, he would do whatever he could to hold onto the spotlight that he had. And I think I did my job. People really hated my character.
You've had quite a few films premiere at Sundance, including "Filly Brown." What has that experience been like?
It's cold, number one. It is Sundance. There are a bunch of independent films there and there is a bunch of media that ask about your project and get the word out, which is awesome. It's a celebration of independent film.
Do you have any other upcoming projects?
For four months I will be out in Charleston working on "Army Wives" and after that we'll see what comes up. But I have plans for a big year.

A judge ruled Friday a jury can see a video of five children in a neglect and abuse case when the children's parents go on trial next week.
Robert H. Simons III, 55, and his common-law wife, Mary Ella Tittle, 39, are charged with multiple counts of child abuse and neglect and aggravated child endangerment in regard to their five children after authorities found the family living in squalid conditions at their home on Miller Drive in Jonesborough.
According to investigators, a bus on the property was being used as living space for the kids. The property was strewn with trash and human waste. The bus had no running water or bathrooms, and sparse living arrangements, investigators said.
Prosecutors say the children — now ages 13, 11-year-old twins, 10 and 8 — had never attended school and were far behind other kids their age. Since the parents were arrested and the kids placed in foster care, prosecutors say the children have thrived and are learning fast.
Prosecutors documented the improvement in the kids on a video recording that defense attorneys tried to keep out of the trial. But Criminal Court Judge Robert Cupp ruled Friday the video is admissible.
Cupp also heard arguments in several other motions, including the state's desire to introduce printouts from Tittle's MySpace page.
Assistant District Attorney General Dennis Brooks told Cupp it's important to admit the documents to show Tittle was "computer savvy" enough to post digital photos of herself and her children and "blog" about the kids, including her daughter's severe kidney disease.
Regardless of her ability to understand her children's developmental needs, according to Brooks, Tittle did not adequately care for the kids.
Another issue prosecutors presented Friday was the theory that Simons and Tittle were exploiting their children to get money from churches, often giving false information to obtain help.
And a third issue prosecutors argued was a statement Simons gave to a loss-prevention officer after being charged with fraudulently returning a scooter to the store.
Simons reportedly told the officer he couldn't attend court on a certain day because his daughter was having a kidney transplant.
Defense attorneys argued that any evidence of prior criminal activity cannot be admitted unless a defendant testifies. Simons' attorney, Matt Bolton, told Cupp there is no way to introduce the comment without revealing his client was charged with a crime.
Prosecutors want to show Simons was aware of his daughter's life-threatening condition, but he didn't take the appropriate medical steps to help her.
Once the children were in state custody after Simons and Tittle were arrested, their daughter received the kidney transplant that saved her life, Brooks said.
Aside from the video, Cupp deferred ruling on the additional motions until next week.
The trial is likely to take the entire week with numerous witnesses — reportedly 40 for the state alone — taking the stand on various issues regarding the children's condition.
Simons and Tittle remain in the Washington County Detention Center on $50,000 bond each.

PRESTONSBURG — Loretta Wright appeared in Floyd District Court Tuesday for a preliminary hearing following the shooting death of her brother-in-law, Famer Halbert, last week.
Loretta Wright kept her head down and her eyes closed through most of Tuesday's testimony, as Kentucky State Police Det. Jason Dials relayed to the court the events surrounding Halbert's death.
According to Dials' testimony, Ronald and Loretta Wright had come by the home to visit with Lorene and Famer Halbert, and had been discussing the death of their son. Dials said that the Wrights visited with Lorene Halbert for probably 30 minutes, while Famer was asleep in his bedroom. As they were getting ready to leave, Ronald Wright allegedly asked to use the restroom. As Lorene Halbert and Loretta Wright waited on the front porch, a gunshot was heard.
Dials said 54-year-old Famer Halbert, of McDowell, died in his bed of a close contact gunshot to the forehead.
Dials then testified that multiple struggles ensued over the weapon, and that during these struggles both Lorene Halbert and Ronald Wright were shot. According to Dials, the Halberts' seven grandchildren were home at the time of the shooting, and some of those children have issued statements saying they witnessed the struggle over the weapon.
According to Dials, following the struggle, the Wrights took the weapon and fled the scene. Dials said the children gave statements that the Wrights were smiling when they left, "happy with what they'd done."
Dials testified that no official murder weapon has yet to be recovered, though he added that .357 ammunition was found in Ronald Wright's possession. Dials told the court on Tuesday that the weapon that killed Famer Halbert was a "large caliber projectile."
Lorene Halbert, 50, of McDowell, was treated and released for a single gunshot wound.
Loretta Wright is currently charged with one count of complicity to commit murder and one count of attempted murder. Ronald Wright, who is being treated for his gunshot wound in West Virginia, has reportedly been served with an arrest warrant, and is awaiting extradition back to Kentucky.
Floyd County District Judge Jimmy Marcum remanded the case to the hands of a Floyd County grand jury. Because the Halberts' grandchildren were in the home at the time of the shooting, the grand jury could add as many as seven counts of first-degree wanton endangerment against the Wrights.
Commonwealth's Attorney Brent Turner said his office would have to review all of the evidence after an indictment before they could make a determination to seek the death penalty.
"After we get all the evidence in, we will sit down and review that," Turner said. "We would make it known fairly soon after we got an indictment."

Mustangs: Profiles in Beauty
The weather's getting warmer, which means the pastures are beginning to green up with rich, nutritive grass, which means the horses and cattle are getting plenty to eat, which means my beloved Marlboro Man no longer has to poke me in the ribcage with his exceedingly pointy finger before 5 a.m. every morning and say "You gonna sleep all day?" before forcing me against my will to get up, get dressed, and accompany him to feed all the animals on our ranch. So there's that.
Truth is, though, spending morning after morning with the horses all winter—driving deep into the pastures and gathering them to the sound of the feed truck's horn, setting out the hay for them to eat, and counting them to keep track of the numbers—forges an unexpected connection that's always hard to let go of once spring arrives. Once you stop feeding the horses for the season, you just aren't around them very often. Sure, you see them on the road as you drive in and out; you might even wave goodbye if you're feeling especially playful. Or mentally disturbed. But it's not the same. You're not with, the animals, you're not providing for their every need, you're not four feet away from them because they're so hungry they don't care how close you are.
What I'm trying to say is, I'm going to miss the suckers. It'll be several months before I really get to commune with them again.
I think it's so easy for me to like them because for one, they're all mares.
And most of them have birthed at least one—and in some cases, several—colts before. I can sure relate there. Well, except for the colt thing.
And several of them are redheads, like me. And redheads, you might not know, share a common bond. We're just not like the rest of you. It's rougher for a redhead. There's a stigma. It hurts.
And yes, Julia Roberts did make things better when she swept onto the scene. But there are still jokes.
Truth is, they're all beautiful. Not that I can specifically relate to that, but I can sure appreciate it. It's not unlike admiring photos of beautiful actresses or a breathtaking mountain range. I know beauty when I see it.
So until next winter, when the mustangs' bellies will be empty and rumbly again, when the morning helping of hay atop an icy ground will be their only sustenance, I'll just have to admire them from afar. Until that time, they'll really have no use for humans.
I'll miss them. Because for all the Basset Hounds and mallards and Canadian geese and bobcats that populate our ranch, I'm convinced there's no creature on earth more beautiful than a mustang.
Dang. Some cows are so touchy.
And is it just me, or does this one look a little like Gary Busey?
In a good way, of course.

Fantastic pictures!
Julie at Elisharose On Friday, April 18 at 9:22 am
Gorgeous horses, but I kind of like the cow, too.
Annie On Friday, April 18 at 9:24 am
There are bobcats on your ranch? Can we see a picture of that?
janel On Friday, April 18 at 9:24 am
wild beauty
Vanessa On Friday, April 18 at 9:24 am
Yes, he does look like Gary Busey, but then again, a little like Walter Konkrite ,too!
Cristy On Friday, April 18 at 9:24 am
Gary B freaks me out for some reason, and now that you mentioned that, so does this cow.
JamesMommy On Friday, April 18 at 9:26 am
Totally looks like Gary Busey. Oh my lawd, is that funny.
Smarsh On Friday, April 18 at 9:26 am
I can't resist leaving a comment just because I've never been anywhere near the top ten. So… Good morning everyone and Ree! Hope you all have a fantastic weekend!
Sarah is Ok On Friday, April 18 at 9:26 am
I've kinda missed the cows though.
Coffee Bean On Friday, April 18 at 9:27 am
Hmmmmm…. why do I identify more with the cows?
Ginger On Friday, April 18 at 9:27 am
Scary Busey.
Audra On Friday, April 18 at 9:27 am
I am think it looks more like Christoper Walken
Kathy On Friday, April 18 at 9:27 am
I've always loved horses, and I love your horse photos. I'll miss them the next few months, too.
So now what? You gonna sleep in til noon every day?
IowaCowgirl On Friday, April 18 at 9:28 am
Ha! Ms. Busey looks so nice!
Raising Country Kids On Friday, April 18 at 9:28 am
You know you've been on the ranch too long when you notice that the cows look like people.
Daisy On Friday, April 18 at 9:28 am
Beautiful pics…..I love the detail on their long winter hair.
Gettysburg Mom On Friday, April 18 at 9:28 am
I don't know about you, but I was pretty sure I was giving birth to a colt with a few of my children….at least they seemed to be about the size of a small horse at the time!
What Happens Next... On Friday, April 18 at 9:29 am
Yes. yes, Gary Busey! Excellent observation!
The photos of the mustangs are always so compelling to me. I will miss them along with you.
And great use of the "burn" tool !!
shai On Friday, April 18 at 9:29 am
The horses are beautiful.
SHIRLEY in IOWA On Friday, April 18 at 9:29 am
I enjoy all of your horse pictures, both the mustangs and the working ranch horses.
But there's something about the independence of the wild ones that brings back all the romance of the west, and imagined tales of wild horses galloping across the midwestern prairies.
Do you know anything about the mustangs' histories? Where were they gathered? From Nevada or another western state? how long have they been on your ranch. Will they ever have to leave what appears to be "Horse Heaven/"
Jill On Friday, April 18 at 9:29 am
Being from Kentucky originally, I've always admired the beauty of horses. Now, living in CT, I don't get to see them so often. Your blog offers a nice dose of home, even if the horses are a little different
Cheryl in Nebraska On Friday, April 18 at 9:30 am
Great pictures, I love those mustangs and envy you for getting to see them daily and commune with them each winter. Those cows look like they're plotting something evil against your camera!
Coffee Bean On Friday, April 18 at 9:30 am
I was #10!!! I was #10!!!
Good Lord. I so need to get a LIFE.
Pat On Friday, April 18 at 9:31 am
Great pictures, as usual! Hope you, MM and the punks have a great weekend!
Tracy On Friday, April 18 at 9:33 am
They say everyone has a twin & you just found Gary Busey's
Alexis On Friday, April 18 at 9:33 am
That cow looks SO like Gary Busey…I just hope she's not as nutty as him! Anyone see how he freaked that actress out at that awards show?? I think it was Kate Beckinsale-he kissed her on the neck!!
Dee Thompson On Friday, April 18 at 9:33 am
Yep, I can see gary Busey there. Of course, every time I see the face of Chevy Chase I think he looks like a sheep. I think in another life he was a sheep! In another life I had thin thighs. Oh well, we can dream…
Coffee Bean On Friday, April 18 at 9:34 am
So… I have a little jump for joy moment at being number ten… right after posting… and I am a fast typer… and that comment was #23.
Holy SHIZZOLY!!!
Do the comments just start rolling in the very second you hit enter? Are people lined up at their computers all over the world just anxiously awaiting your next post?
I think I have 10 readers on my blog. You, my dear, are a big ole fish in a big ole pond. Me? I am an ameoba… lost in a sea of blogs…. doomed to a life in blog obscurity.
Yeah, I am soooooooooo like one of your cows…
Kelly On Friday, April 18 at 9:34 am
Red heads MUST stick together. Amen.
Beautiful Mustangs. Gorgeous. I'm jealous of a horse. I have issues…
CallingSpades On Friday, April 18 at 9:35 am
Oh geez. Gary Busey. All she needs is a mugshot card…..
buggirl On Friday, April 18 at 9:35 am
I like white-lips the horse. You know the mare with the blaze.
Is Julia Roberts really a red-head? What about Molly Ringwald? What's she chopped liver? Or that lady who plays Anne of Avonlea. Talk about a kindred soul on the whole red headed thing.
Asthmagirl On Friday, April 18 at 9:35 am
Oh My!
He (she?) does look like Gary Busey!
Beth from The Funny Farm On Friday, April 18 at 9:36 am
Good Morning!
I have a beautiful, auburn hair child. I am partial to redheads! I've told her since she was born how GORGEOUS her hair is! She loves it now at 11!
I'm sure it is easier getting the laundry done now that you don't have to go feed the mustangs!
Fianna On Friday, April 18 at 9:36 am
Yay for Redheads!
We should start a gang and have a gang sign and wear our colors.
Umm..or Not.
tisha On Friday, April 18 at 9:37 am
Hey, what happened on the redhead's neck? Looks like she was shaved and has a wound repair or something. Poor baby!
Annie S. On Friday, April 18 at 9:37 am
Maybe as a special treat your older kids could make them a treat like an oatmeal cookie with alfalfa in it and have a annual mustang day in the warmer months. Guess that might be more cookies than even your ovens can handle!
cecedon On Friday, April 18 at 9:37 am
Oh that white mustang is gorgeous, totally. Thanks for throwing us that bone.
As to Gary, I can't even picture him (I'm not so into stars). But that cows loose neck skin is kinda freaking me out a little. what's with that, it's kinda tongue like isn't it??
Lisa from Kentucky On Friday, April 18 at 9:38 am
I too will miss the mares. I am an avid horse lover and really enjoy seeing the Mustangs in their natural setting.
buggirl On Friday, April 18 at 9:38 am
Wow! This thing just ate my comment.
I like the picture of white lips the mustang.
Is Julia Roberts reallly a red head? Who's Molly Ringwald then, chopped liver? And what about that lady who played Anne of Avonlea. She was definately a kindred spirit with the whole red headed thing.
Dancing Shoes On Friday, April 18 at 9:38 am
Great photos Ree! I think your cattle have felt a little neglected! It's good to see them face to face again!
Jessica On Friday, April 18 at 9:38 am
Thanks for keeping up this site. It's a landmark for all of those young women out there like me who would love to live the same lifestyle. I love to cook, watch children, work hoses and cows, and dream some day of owning a sprawling ranch in the mountains somewhere.
I am interested in your contract with the BLM. With my degree I plan on working with the BLM, or just the Department of the Interior. I have never heard of something like this and am very interested in this. Thanks.
Also, you should check out the website I am posting. It is horse-related and I think everyone on it would be very interested in your mustang program. I believe you are doing a good thing, but they may not, so if you get flamed on there I am very, very sorry!
dlyn On Friday, April 18 at 9:38 am
I will miss seeing the Mustangs over the summer, but I love the cattle too. And really looking forward to your summer photos.
Liz On Friday, April 18 at 9:39 am
you are so blessed to be around these beautiful animals!
Christy/ MommaOnTheMountain On Friday, April 18 at 9:39 am
We lived in at the base of Mt. Adams, in a tiny town called Trout Lake for years, before we moved back to Oregon. My husband loves having livestock, so we would raise steers to sell, or goats, and/or chickens. Matt (hubby) has always worked, so his projects always became my projects…(ummmm grrrr…!) I cursed those darn animals, and swore that I would never EVER miss them when we got back to "civilization". Would you believe that I DO miss those early morning chores, and the animals! I completely understand the thing with the horses.
Oh, and the cow totally looks like Gary Busey….when he is not smiling with all his teeth showing! LOL
Treasia Stepp On Friday, April 18 at 9:39 am
The mustangs are all such beautiful creatures. Thanks for sharing the photos of them with us. Oh how I miss my horses.
Miss M. On Friday, April 18 at 9:40 am
Not Gary Busey…no!
Ed Begley Jr.
Julie On Friday, April 18 at 9:40 am
I love horses and so does my daughter. We love looking at your beautiful photographs!!!Thanks for sharing your life and these amazing creatures with us!!! Have a blessed day!
buggirl On Friday, April 18 at 9:40 am
Ok finally that one posts. I like the white lipped horse.
Is Julia Roberts a real red head? What about Molly Ringwald. I thought she had all the ladies of the 80's wishing they had red hair. And then there was Anne of Avonlea.
Sandie On Friday, April 18 at 9:40 am
OMG Gary Busey. I'm sitting here at work, popped into your site to see if you put anything up yet & am laughing out loud at Gary Busey. YES it does (in a good way) But don't you think Gary has scarier eyes?! (wait I just looked at this Gary's eyes-they both have scarey eyes)
Annette On Friday, April 18 at 9:41 am
He just looks really pissed off.
Karen From NC On Friday, April 18 at 9:42 am
Awwww those mustangs are gorgeous! You are very blessed to see them up close or afar! I`m am extremely jealous!
But, sleeping and not having sore rims is good too!
That last steer, DOES look like Gary Busey! Ha! But, the steer is better looking, hands down! Does that steer have teeth as BIG as Gary`s and is it CRAZY too? Ha!
Love all your posts! But, esp. the animal ones! Thanks for making my day and for taking such good care of those beautiful mustangs! ( Did you notice how I didn`t say "you" taking care of them! I kid, of course!)
Have a sunny , wonderful day, Ree!
OH-Ang On Friday, April 18 at 9:43 am
Wow..those are amazin. But think of all the different colors that spring brings to your little bit of paradise. We need the spring colors to appreciate the beauty of the stark winter contrast.
Kassandra On Friday, April 18 at 9:45 am
*Sigh* It;s so true that us redheads suffer…
Acher On Friday, April 18 at 9:46 am
That cow sooo looks like Gary Busey. My husband and a friend are working on a theory that all people born between 1976 and 1984 are cool due to exposure to movies involving Gary Busey in them. Red Dawn, in particular.
ann On Friday, April 18 at 9:48 am
no coyotes out there ? We have coyotes and live in the city. They eat the cats. And the possums, but not so much the raccoons.
Laura On Friday, April 18 at 9:48 am
Oh my gosh. I can totally see the Busey thing. Scary!
Cheryl On Friday, April 18 at 9:48 am
Gary Bussey, lol… good call. I had to google some pictures of him to refresh my memory and you hit the nail on the head!
Love reading your blog!
Kim On Friday, April 18 at 9:49 am
From one redhead to another, I feel your pain. May the horses be missing you as much as you're missing them.
greeneyes/ Martha On Friday, April 18 at 9:51 am
What did those mustangs ever do without you and MM? Well, I actually know that answer to that, so thank you PW and MM.
Bob cats. Is that symbolic for MM and the cowboys?
Gary Busey. That's great!! You should totally put up cow pics and have a "name that pic" contest.
Karen From NC On Friday, April 18 at 9:51 am
I`m sorry, I meant COW! I know horses better! Ha!
Bridget Wood On Friday, April 18 at 9:51 am
Gary Busey is from around here yah know, you better watch out!
JessieJ On Friday, April 18 at 9:51 am
Definitely looks a bit like Gary!
Beautiful pics and thanks for sharing!
Mechelle On Friday, April 18 at 9:51 am
I think the horses are beautiful , but hey so is sleep and you can always dream of them …and still stay WARM!!!
TeamBettendorf On Friday, April 18 at 9:51 am
Too funny.
Jyl On Friday, April 18 at 9:52 am
I have a red-headed niece, only hers is bright firey red. Not one day goes by that she doesn't get asked…"where did you get that red-hair from?" It cracks me up…one day when I am with her I am going to ask back "well, where did your hair come from?"
Darlene On Friday, April 18 at 9:52 am
I love the mustangs too, they are so gorgeous.
And yes, that last cow does look a bit like Gary Busey. Weird.
Erin Glee On Friday, April 18 at 9:53 am
Beautiful Mustangs! Psshaaha…Gary Busey! Thanks.
Jenny in Montana On Friday, April 18 at 9:54 am
Thanks for the inspiration. I've been working on a Clydesdale website for the past several nights and I've been stuck in a rut!
Your photos helped immensely!
Jennie On Friday, April 18 at 9:55 am
I got the same feeling when I stopped nursing my son. I hated getting up in the wee hours of the morning, but when I was finished nursing him, I kind of missed it. I missed the connection.
Beautiful photos. I wish I had CS3 so I could use some of your super cool techniques!
Angel D. in KY On Friday, April 18 at 9:56 am
Great photo's.
Hmmm On Friday, April 18 at 9:56 am
There's no such thing as "Canadian Geese"unless, of course, you can provide proof of their citizenship.
(They're called "Canada Geese.")
Jennifer On Friday, April 18 at 9:58 am
Gary Busey, for sure. But before I read what you had written I would have tossed out a bid for David Letterman.
farmnwife On Friday, April 18 at 9:58 am
Let's just say the horses look majestic, the cows do not.
risingrainbow On Friday, April 18 at 10:00 am
That's a shame that you don't get to commune with them when they have lost all their winter hair and are so sleek and beautiful. I always long for spring so I can finally see the beautiful horses that are buried underneath all of that winter hair.
And yes, those redheads have a reputation for their fire and their spunk! Personally, I think they're pretty darn cool! I just have a sprinkle of them in my herd but I celebrate when a new one is born.
Jodi On Friday, April 18 at 10:00 am
I just love looking at your pictures, they're beautiful! Thanks for all the fun on your site – it's the first thing I check out every morning.
Becky On Friday, April 18 at 10:00 am
Yeah – I identify with the cows too. Could it be mothering teens that makes a person start to feel a little like chopped liver? Me thinks so!
southern gal On Friday, April 18 at 10:01 am
Horses are such beautiful creatures. Too bad I'm terrified of them. Give me cows with their beautiful long eyelashes any day of the week.
Hmmm On Friday, April 18 at 10:01 am
Also, there are a lot of redheads in my life (mom, sisters, children), and I think it must be a universal question: "Where did you get that red hair?"
Surely, Ree, this is worth a whole post. Only YOU could take that lemon of a question and make lemonade of it for us…..or at least give us a good laugh.
Andi Sexton (rrlscrapgal) On Friday, April 18 at 10:01 am
Actually, I'm thinking that cow looks like Donald Trump!
Rose in TN On Friday, April 18 at 10:02 am
You know, I've spent untold amounts of money and time trying to be a redhead – I've got the temperment for it, just can't get it to stick! Don't want to hear any more complaining about the wonders of having the most lovely and rare haircolor! And if you think redheads are tormented…know any BLONDE jokes?! Exactly.
I love your mustang photos, but find myself oddly drawn more to the cows – their faces seem to say so much. Mostly about how lousy it is to be a cow probably! Especially a cow who looks like Busey. shudder.
Trish On Friday, April 18 at 10:03 am
You're so lucky to have such wonderful things to take photographs of every day.
We live across the road from a sports field. You could call it a paddock, I suppose. Maybe even a pasture. Maybe it has wild mustangs on it at 5am.
I'll never know. I'm never up that early.
Wendy2 in WA On Friday, April 18 at 10:03 am
Dawn W On Friday, April 18 at 10:03 am
Gary Busey!!! Oh my goodness, you're so right! (Going to get paper towels to clean my coffee off the monitor.)
Thanks for the pictures of the Mustangs – they are beautiful and you did a great job capturing that beauty.
Kirstin On Friday, April 18 at 10:04 am
That last picture almost seemed to say "hey, I heard what you just said….we are NOT touchy". I too think mustangs and horses are beautiful creatures. It saddens me when I see those that seem mistreated. Thought I've never owned one (okay we did own one horse named Gloria…we didn't name her) I still absolutely love them.
amy On Friday, April 18 at 10:04 am
I'm sure Gary Busey would take that as a compliment.:)
Kitty Bo On Friday, April 18 at 10:06 am
You know what I think about when I look at those lovely ladies? No one to help them shed out. My horses always need help shedding out or their winter woolies, a dusty, dirty job. I bathe them and then use the shedding blade to remove some plus the rubber curry. My horse is almost done (yay!), but the old guy takes longer. I also go up to them in the pasture or while they are eating and pluck finger fulls of old hair out. The neighbor's horse up the rode doesn't get much tendin' to, so I stop by him on my walks and pluck out his old coat. This doesn't hurt, by the way. When the hair is ready to come out, it comes out easily. But those mustang ladies will just have to do a lot of rolling and "you scratch my back and I'll scratch yours."
Sue On Friday, April 18 at 10:07 am
I love the redheads…probably cuz I am also a redhead. In fact, redheads are dominant in my family. My three grandkids are redheads. Redheads definitely have to stick together!
Laurie from WV On Friday, April 18 at 10:07 am
Yep, definitely looks like Gary Busey!!
I get up at 5:30 am every day…well not on the weekends…and I totally relate!! Some days I think I make it though the day on sheer grit and caffine!
Judy @ In His Grip On Friday, April 18 at 10:08 am
Gray Busey can be so touchy!
Charity On Friday, April 18 at 10:08 am
I will miss them too!! I love the pictures of the horses on your blog — reminds me of my childhood pony and all the neighbors horses! And Gary Busey, HA!! Did you see what happened between him and Jennifer Garner on the red carpet at Oscars this year?
Kathleen On Friday, April 18 at 10:09 am
Awesome pictures! I love mustangs unfortunately the only mustang I will ever own was a 5 speed GT 500 red headed convertible that my husband made me sell because I like the feeling of the wind through my hair at excessive speeds.
As for the cows I live in a county were they raise Brafords (a cross breed I think) and we have a few dairy farms here and there. I pass cows everyday on my way to work but they never seem as pretty as yours do. Must be the lighting……….
PaintLover On Friday, April 18 at 10:10 am
I thought Andy Rooney when I first looked at the picture…
Robin On Friday, April 18 at 10:10 am
Sigh. I Love Mustangs.
christie On Friday, April 18 at 10:11 am
Beautiful. I wish there was a way to put into words how peaceful and wonderful it feels just to be near horses, especially while they're grazing. I love it. It almost feels like you can blend into the wild of the world and be perfectly happy just to observe. What do you think?
chris jenkins On Friday, April 18 at 10:11 am
yup gary busey for sure.
gorgeous images of the mustangs.
Liz On Friday, April 18 at 10:13 am
I'm not sure there is ever a good way to look like Gary Busey.
Circle F On Friday, April 18 at 10:15 am
I'm a COW person … I think that cow at the end is cuter than all of the horses :o)
Ginny P On Friday, April 18 at 10:16 am
RedHeads RULE!!!!!!!!!
Beyootifull pics today Ree!
Mona On Friday, April 18 at 10:17 am
Ha! He DOES look like Gary Busey! Hilarious!
Tj On Friday, April 18 at 10:17 am
I like the web format. It loaded much faster for this country girl with slow satellite speeds. Love the mustangs too. And the cows. Too cute.

Inequity of the Progressive Income Tax
The Hoover Institution has published an essay by Kip Hagopian arguing against a progressive income tax, that is, a tax that imposes higher rates on those with higher incomes. It's a long essay. Readers who don't have the time for the whole thing can just enjoy the opening anecdote about "triplet brothers named Tom, Dick, and Harry Class."
In addition to the tax stuff, the essay is valuable for its treatment of income inequality, the amelioration of which is part of the case for progressive taxation:
