2011 Annual Report
The Root Zone Water Quality Model (RZWQM) was tested with scenarios developed to simulate winter cover crops across the U.S. Midwest. Preliminary results indicate that winter cover crops potentially could reduce nitrate losses from drained fields by at least 89 million kg yr-1, or about 11% of the total nitrate load in the Mississippi River.
We completed field mapping of high-carbonate soils around closed depressions (potholes) commonly found in glacial landscapes. Carbonate accumulations indicate where water has moved out and up from the depressions. Understanding water and chemical flow pathways in these depressions are needed to understand water quality and soil productivity in glacial landscapes of the Midwest.
Finally, a review of the Conservation Effects Assessment Project (CEAP) watershed studies was written, co-authored with an ARS scientist in Oxford, Mississippi. Substantial progress has been made in assessing new management practices for reducing nitrate contamination of surface waters due to farming activities. All of this research was instrumental in the planning of a new project plan for the Ames location's contribution to NP211.
1)Conservation practices were not targeted according to critical sources and pathways of contaminants;.
2)Sediment in streams often originated more from channel and bank erosion than from erosion of soil in fields;.
3)Timing lags, historical legacies, and shifting climate combined to mask effects of practice implementation; and.
4)Water quality management strategies that address single contaminants do not consider inherent trade-offs among multiple contaminants. These lessons can be leveraged to improve strategies for implementing conservation programs and to set water quality goals with realistic timelines. 4. Water table control, nitrogen (N) rate, and weather affect nitrate loss to subsurface drainage. Control of subsurface drainage can reduce nitrate loss to drain tile flow, but the effects may vary with different N application rates and weather conditions. Agricultural Research Service (ARS) scientists in Ames, Iowa, and Fort Collins, Colorado, used the Root Zone Water Quality Model (RZWQM2) to investigate long-term effects of controlled drainage. Changing from free to controlled drainage reduced measured annual N loss in tile flow by 12%. Long-term RZWQM2 simulations suggest that N loss might be reduced by 39% through controlled drainage and decreased N rates, with minimal decreases in corn yield. This research will help agricultural scientists better understand effects of controlled drainage towards (and its potential role in) reducing N losses from tile drainage. 5. Determination of economically optimal nitrogen (N) rates. Managing N fertilizer is one of the many challenges facing farmers today. Establishing the economically optimal N rate (EONR) typically involves fitting an equation to yield versus N rate data and finding the point on the fitted curve where the profit from an incremental increase in yield just pays for the incremental increase in the cost of the added N fertilizer. While different types of equations have been fitted to yield-N rate data, a measure of the statistical reliability in the computed EONR due is almost always lacking. Agricultural Research Servie (ARS) scientists in Ames, Iowa, demonstrated a new statistical method to compute EONR and its relative error applicable to most yield response equations. The approach was demonstrated for a range of published yield response data. It is easy to apply and should be useful for all researchers examining various farming practices and EONR. 6. Economically optimal nitrogen (N) rates for corn management zones delineated from soil and terrain attributes. Agricultural Research Service (ARS) scientists in Ames, Iowa, compared economically optimal N fertilizer rates for corn in a corn/soybean rotation among yield zones that were based on soil and landscape characteristics. The yield zones were generally demarked by slope position. Maximum yield was generally lower on the upper slope positions, but was a poor predictor of optimal N rate, which varied from 20 to 220 pounds per acre. Six years of central Iowa data indicate N rates could be reduced by applying relatively less N fertilizer to the lower slope positions and relatively more to upper slope positions. Dividing fields into yield zones may be a viable method for improving N fertilizer rates to corn and potentially reducing nitrate losses to surface and ground waters. These results help researchers design and interpret N fertilizer use efficiency experiments, resulting in improved recommendations for farmers.

This is my take on the DMR Pump Track Challenge from a town just down the road from me called Bishops Tachbrook, luckily I get to ride here on a regular basis and it's an awesome little pump track. Racing was very tight against the clock, with people trying to shave seconds and even hundredths of seconds of each others times if they could.
The pro category producing some good battles between elite rider and local hero Nathan Parsons and last rounds winner Ben Baker also the other local hero Matt Sills was battling with elite riders Davi Roberts and Tom Gethin for a shot at the £250 top prize. Nathan took the win with Ben collecting the £100 second prize with Matt Sills pipping Gethin on the last run to take the £50 for third.

As always in the wake of a shooting tragedy, people remain divided on the value of strong gun-control laws, as well as how best to balance the individual's right to carry a handgun with public safety.
But days after 12 people were killed in a Colorado moviehouse, several said one man's decision to openly carry a pistol into a Hanover theater showing the same Batman movie was the wrong statement at the wrong time.
"This sounds like a guy trying to make a point, but without looking to educate people at the same time," said Joe Tatela, co-founder of a Hanover-based Tea party group. "It seems less about the Second Amendment and more of a 'look at me' kind of thing."
Hanover Police have said the man, who was not identified, openly carried his handgun into the R/C Hanover Movies on Eisenhower Drive Monday night for a late showing of "The Dark Knight Rises." Police were called, but there is no law in Pennsylvania against carrying a gun in the open. In fact, police said, he had a permit to carry a concealed weapon.
Still, Hanover Police Chief Randy Whitson on Tuesday called the decision to go to the movies armed "a poor choice, given current circumstances."
Tatela - whose organization's mission statement is first to "support and defend the U.S. Constitution" - said he's a strong believer in Second Amendment rights. In general, it's better to err on the side of liberty than to suffer restrictive laws, he said.
But given the situation in Colorado, Tatela said, this is a tougher case.
"The legal point is the person does have a right to do it, no doubt," he said. But "it's not necessarily a smart thing in this climate."
Early Friday morning at a midnight showing of the movie, a man opened fire in an Aurora, Colo. movie theater, killing 12 and wounding 58. Accused of the crime is James Holmes, 24, who police have said legally purchased and stockpiled weapons.
Penn Township Police Deputy Chief James Laughlin said each year his department investigates a handful of calls similar to the incident at the Hanover theater. Laughlin declined to comment specifically on that incident, during which Penn Township police provided assistance, but said in general calls to investigate the open carry of a gun can put police in a tough spot.
"It's a precarious situation that we're in," he said. "We have a right when a citizen makes a complaint to investigate and follow up. Hopefully, the individual (with the gun) has the proper permits and we cause as little disruption as possible."
Yet there's no doubt right now people across the country are on "red alert," Laughlin said. That's compounded by those looking to make statement on gun rights.
"There is a segment of the population out there that wants confrontation," he said. "It's unfortunate and it's very minor, but it's there."
Max Nacheman, executive director of the gun-violence prevention organization CeaseFirePA, said the issue comes down to the gun owner. CeaseFirePA pushes for tougher laws in the hope of keeping guns out of the wrong hands.
If someone wants to bring a gun to a theater in Hanover and they are properly permitted, that is the person's right, Nacheman said.
"Someone who chooses to carry rationally and legally, that's not our concern," he said.
The problem occurs when someone obtains a gun illegally, which Nacheman said is all too easy. R/C Theatres Vice President Dave Phillips has said the Baltimore company is reviewing Pennsylvania law and evaluating the situation, but added the theater has no policy prohibiting firearms. A no-firearms policy might be difficult to enact, he added.
Cinemark Century Theatres, which owns the Colorado theater at which the massacre took place, had a no-firearms policy in place at the time, with an exception for law enforcement. The shooter allegedly left the theater, armed himself, and returned through an emergency exit.
Tatela pointed to that series of events in Colorado and chafed at the idea of any possible ban in Pennsylvania theaters.
"You cannot eradicate isolated incidents of insanity," he said.
Gun rights advocates say if other movie-goers had been armed, the massacre might have been prevented.
"If only if one responsible person had been carrying a gun," Tatela said, "a lot of the tragedy could have been prevented."
But opponents say given the confusion in the dark theater and the fact the shooter was wearing body armor, other weapons could have led to even higher casualties. And they say what's needed is not more guns, but tougher laws.
"The fact this guy could buy 6,000 rounds (of ammunition) online, that's pretty scary," Nacheman said. "We need to address the laws."

A Far Out Read
Collared Greens believes that elegance and eco-consciousness can coexist, and has combined these ideals in an effort to redefine American fashion with forward-thinking and timeless style. Collared Greens was founded by R. Randolph "Randy" Ashton who lives in Ketchum, Idaho, the home of Sun Valley Resorts' world-renowned Bald Mountain. Prior to the inception of Collared Greens, Randy worked as a freelance photographer for the outdoor lifestyle market and published two photography books, "Fly Fishing In Idaho" and "A Celebration of Salmon Rivers." The idea to manufacture "green" clothing for trendsetting and fashionable folks (who would rather have their clothing produced and marketed in an environmentally-sensitive manner) came to Randy while on assignment to photograph the great Atlantic salmon rivers for the North Atlantic Salmon Fund, a conservation organization based in Reykjavik, Iceland. Traveling alone through 13 countries to photograph over 60 rivers during a two-year period provided inspiration and time for Randy to write down his vision for Collared Greens. Why "Collared Greens?" First, it's a word play on the delicious Southern dish collard greens, a form of kale. Secondly, all of our polo shirts have the Collared Greens original green twill tape on the inside collar to indicate that they are made with sustainable, "green" organic cotton. As you may have guessed, our polar bear brand symbol was suggested by this magnificent animal's status as an iconic endangered species. The CG24 Conservation project is a commitment to help protect and promote the environment. Each year, Collared Greens will partner with three conservationists to help promote their efforts and donate to their cause. Collared Greens will donate one percent of our profits on behalf of "One Percent for the Planet" and donate another percent, for a total of two percent of our profits, on behalf of Collared Greens and Marvin Leopold, the green polar bear. The environment needs our help, and Collared Greens intends to do just that - help! Thanks for being a part of the CG24 Conservation Project.

Pirates continue sizzling start by edging Brewers, 5-4
Pirates/MLB Videos
MILWAUKEE — If the Pirates continue to win as they did Sunday in Milwaukee, securing a rare series win at Miller Park with a 5-4 victory, the comparisons to the 1992 team — the club's last winning season — will inevitably continue to arise.
But you have to go further back to find a Pirates team with a better run through 50 games than this year's group, which improved to 31-19. You have to go back to the 1991 team, which posted a 33-17 record through 50 games. The 1991 club went on to win 98 games and the NL East title.
Whether the Pirates can have another 50-game stretch anything like their first 50 figures to be more difficult; 17 of their next 23 games are against teams either in first place or within a half-game of first entering Sunday. But if the Pirates continue to pitch as well as they have over the first 50 games, and if they continue to pitch well enough in tough road environments like they did Sunday, they'll likely continue the comparison.
"We're 50 games into the season, so there are no finished stories," Pirates manager Clint Hurdle said. "(But) we're getting a little bit better."
Pirates left-hander Wandy Rodriguez entered Sunday's game with a 6.11 ERA on the road this season compared to 1.93 at home. Extreme home-road splits are nothing new for Rodriguez, who owns a 4.70 career road ERA compared to his 3.40 ERA rate at home.
Rodriguez endured his worst start of the season April 29 at Miller Park. He allowed seven runs, and three home runs in 3 2⁄3 innings.
But the lefty kept the ball in the hitter-friendly park Sunday, and against the Brewers' tough right-handed dominant lineup. He began with four scoreless innings, stranding several baserunners in scoring position.
"The only easy inning he had was the first," Hurdle said. "He wasn't sharp, but he got the job done."
In the fifth, the Brewers loaded the bases with three singles. With two outs, Ryan Braun roped a three-run double down the line and cut the Pirates' lead to 4-3. But it was the only damage allowed by Rodriguez (6-2), who gave up just three hits in the first four innings. He did not walk a batter and struck out four.
The bullpen held the lead, and the Pirates improved to 29-0 when leading after eight innings.
"They're not robots," Hurdle said of his bullpen. "I say that to (the media) a lot, but I have to remind myself, too."
Vin Mazzaro pitched a scoreless sixth and seventh. Setup man Mark Melancon entered in the eighth and gave up just his third run of the season. Jeff Bianchi tripled with one out and scored on Carlos Gomez's sacrifice fly, but Melancon got the Pirates through the eighth with a 5-4 lead.
"With Melancon, it's less than 15 pitches almost every time out," Hurdle said. "I think you saw a completely different (Jason) Grilli today than the guy who closed the last game at home as far as the stuff he brought out there with a little bit of a breather."
Grilli pitched a 1-2-3 ninth for his league-best 20th save.
"I think we are handling our business pretty calmly in tight ballgames," Grilli said. "You crave it."
The run support came early. Shortstop Jordy Mercer went 3 for 4, including a two-out RBI triple in the second.
In the third, Starling Marte doubled and scored on Garrett Jones' sacrifice fly. Gaby Sanchez walked, and Andrew McCutchen, who recorded his sixth multi-hit game in his last eight, scored on Pedro Alvarez's two-run double to give the Pirates a 4-0 lead.
Brewers starter Yovani Gallardo's struggles continued; he didn't pitch into the fifth inning.
The Pirates added a pivotal fifth run in the sixth on Marte's sacrifice fly, giving the Pirates a rare series win at Miller Park — and a rare 50-game start to a campaign.

Losses of Aussie Ahead of Weekend
The Australian dollar ended Friday with losses as US economic growth disappointed Forex market participants, spoiling their mood and reducing their willingness to buy higher-yielding currencies.
The US economy grew slower that was expected by analysts. The growth was by no mean bad, especially compared to that of most developed nations, but it was still disappointing to traders. The Aussie lost even to the US dollar, which itself was weakened by the report.
The Australian currency was initially supported by hopes for monetary stimulus from central bank of major economies. The Bank of Japan proved such expectations wrong, but the vast majority of central banks will announce their decisions next week.
AUD/USD fell from 1.0290 to close at 1.0280 after rallying to 1.0335. EUR/AUD went up from 1.2639 to 1.2675. AUD/JPY declined from 102.11 to 100.82.

News > Press Releases
Mar 04, 2013
THIBODAUX – Governor Bobby Jindal broke ground today on a new culinary arts instruction building at Nicholls State University's John Folse Culinary Institute.
Governor Jindal said, "All over the world, we are known for our culture and cuisine. This didn't happen by accident. Our ancestors are a mix of different cultures and backgrounds that meshed to create our distinctive way of life and cuisine. We are a gumbo, if you will. It's a diversity and distinction that we celebrate every day and that people travel from all over the world to experience. It's a heritage that we must preserve, and we can do this by giving our children and grandchildren the opportunity to learn about it.
"The culinary institute here at Nicholls helps us reach that goal. This new facility will help us in our mission to teach future generations about the art of Cajun and Creole cooking, and at the same time, it will also give students the tools to find job opportunities in the hospitality industry. The institute also benefits companies within the hospitality industry who need a pipeline of skilled workers to fill jobs. These are all reasons why we committed over $8 million to build this new facility and ensure that our sons and daughters have a place to come and carry on the rich culinary heritage that our ancestors started here in Louisiana."
The new building will feature four teaching kitchens, a demonstration kitchen for outreach and broadcast learning, a bistro style restaurant with two dining rooms and a full service kitchen. It will also include a cultural research center, student services, administration and faculty office areas, classrooms, and a commissary that includes dry storage, coolers and freezers.
The site will include visitor parking for 40 cars, 15 faculty parking spaces and approximately 140 student parking spaces. There will also be herb gardens that students can use to prepare dishes.
The total project cost is $12.6 million, of which $8.1 million was committed by the state and the remaining $4.5 million will be supported by Nicholls State University.
Since 2008, the Jindal administration has supported more than $700 million in critical higher education infrastructure investments across Louisiana, including almost $20 million at Nicholls State University.

Tallying 157 points in 329 NHL games will contribute to that reservation.
But the fourth pick of the 2004 Entry Draft is a two-time Stanley Cup champion and current offensive machine. On a team with more notable names such as Evander Kane, Nik Antropov, Dustin Byfuglien and Tobias Enstrom, it is Ladd who sits atop the Thrashers' scoring list with 8 points in eight games.
What gives?
"He's an all-round player and he can do it all," said Byfuglien, who teamed with Ladd to win last season's Stanley Cup with the Chicago Blackhawks.
A complimentary assertion, to be sure. But Ladd pointed to a simpler explanation.
"I think I'm getting a lot of opportunities to play in different situations like the power play and penalty kill," he said. "It's been fun to play a lot and be involved all the time. I think that's translated into feeling better out there."
"I think I'm getting a lot of opportunities to play in different situations like the power play and penalty kill. It's been fun to play a lot and be involved all the time. I think that's translated into feeling better out there." -- Andrew Ladd
However, Ladd deflected any attempt at flattery and acknowledged his seemingly telepathic play with linemates Bryan Little and Anthony Stewart.
Little, according to Ladd, makes it easy for him to get open and gets open effectively himself, while Stewart is a, "big, strong, up-and-down winger who creates a lot of space."
Whatever the explanation, it's the results that matter.
However, Ladd's results -- and, in turn, Atlanta's results -- can be traced to his experiences around some of the League's more prolific scorers.
From players like Rod Brind'Amour and Eric Staal in Carolina, where Ladd spent his first three seasons, to recent teammates Jonathan Toews, Patrick Kane and Marian Hossa in Chicago, osmosis has played an invaluable role in his development.
"You can always learn from talented players," Ladd said. "You just pick up things in terms of how they play.
"I think the biggest thing is the way they work. Those top-end players, they bring it every night. That's huge in terms of being successful. If there's one thing I've picked up on, it's that."
So far, Ladd has brought it every night, and in myriad ways.
He's scored on the power play and shorthanded, and couple that with the ability to win a timely faceoff, and you've got quite a weapon against any opponent.
That hasn't gone unnoticed by the coaching staff, particularly coach Craig Ramsay.
"I coached against him a little bit when he was in Carolina and, of course, Chicago," he said. "I've heard so many good things about him. He battles. He's a great competitor. And that's the most important thing for what we're trying to accomplish here, to get our battle quotient up.
"He attacks aggressively offensively, now he's blocking shots. He's doing a good job killing penalties and is strong on the power play."
As much as any coach would love those characteristics, Ramsay went out of his way to point out to the rest of the team a most simple, yet important, hockey play.
"In one instance, I showed the team a forecheck where (Ladd) chased hard, got his stick out and intercepted a puck and we had three chances off it," Ramsay said. "That's the kind of thing that he brings with him."
As aggressive, competitive and involved as Ladd plays, though, his demeanor in the locker room is that of a quiet guy just going about his business. But don't confuse that with an inability to lead.
"He leads by example," Byfuglien said. "He's not really loud. But if he says something, every guy in this room will nod and say yes. The guys will follow what he does."
If it means following Ladd's offensive production, the Thrashers may be brewing a juggernaut.

I never expected things to go the way they did. I still can't believe it.
"What'da'ya'mean gone? He was here last night! He can't be gone!" My hands were gripping the edge of the art instructor's table so hard that my knuckles turned white, my heart pounding in my chest. Poor professor Reid had the misfortune of telling me that Goethe had vanished, two weeks before the semester was going to end. We had gotten so close since midterms, and now here I was, lost without this man I used to be frightened of.
Professor Reid put his hand on my arm, shaking her head gently. "Honey, I know it's got to be hard for you, but sometimes people do have to leave. From what I heard, Goethe has been planning to leave since day one."
A fist, ice cold and made of steel, closed around my heart and I abruptly pulled back, my eyes going wide and burning with tears. He planned to leave... All along… Why? I wanted to ask so badly, but the pity in the teacher's eyes made my throat close up. My pain was too visible, too exposed, and before anyone could grab me, I bolted out of the room, down the steps, across the courtyard. Everywhere there were memories, newly made and infinitely precious to me. Everything seemed so empty now, a gray monotone of sorrow and despair.
I don't remember consciously returning to my dorm, nor do I remember locking the door and grabbing the decorative letter opener from my desk beside my music carousel.
More memories came to me, darker memories, ones to amplify my pain beyond reason.
I was nine when I had my first episode. It started as a simple blackout. I'd gotten into a fight with an older girl at school, then punches were thrown and I thought I'd been knocked out. When I came to, however, the older girl was on her side, curled up in a bloody, whimpering ball, and my little fists were covered in red.
My parents dragged me to a therapist, who told them I had violent tendencies, and that I should be put on medication. They spent ridiculous amounts of money on trying to "fix" me, but it didn't work. When I was twelve, it happened again. This time I took down a football player who tried to grope me at a pep rally. I knocked him flat out, then pounded his face and kicked him viciously until I was yanked off and hauled to the principal's office. All I remembered was blackness.
I was sent to "rehabilitation", which was nice-talk for the nuthouse. I stayed for two nights before I had my third blackout. I had escaped my cell, knocked out an employee, then scaled the fence. I nearly got away, too, but a coil of barbed wire at the top snagged around my waist, nearly ripping me open. Even though I was stitched up at a hospital within half an hour, I was now left with a crescent-shaped scar across my waist, a permanent reminder of my sins.
I was allowed back into society when I turned sixteen, after fur long, lonely years in a more secure nuthouse, and I behaved myself now. Mostly.
Remembering my past brought a fresh wave of agony, and I remembered staring at the letter opened with an intensity that made every inch of me ache.
And then I blacked out.

It's time for a family discussion.
You may not know me, but you and I, we're part of the same family. We're youth workers. Whether we volunteer or we're full-time paid staff members, we spend lots of our time loving teenagers and helping them come to know Jesus and grow in their relationship with him. Even if we don't know each other, when we meet there is an instant camaraderie that transcends age, geography, culture, race, and even theological distinctives. It used to be that our family dinners and reunions were limited to our local network meetings and–if we're blessed enough–regional and national youth ministry conferences. But thanks to the miracle of the interwebs, we can catch up with one another online via blogs, Twitter, and other cool methods.
So you see, we're family. Which is why this is a family discussion.
Since we're family, we're not going to point fingers. I'm just going to try to state the issue as clearly as I can: we complain way too much. And before you accuse me of being judgmental, know that I have a finger pointed squarely at myself.
In recent years, I've noticed that there are two types of youth workers: those who are excited at the possibilities, and those who are discouraged by the obstacles. And I think that the latter category is far bigger than the former. And when we spend way too much time in the latter category, we've had a tendency to become complainers. Here are some symptoms of our complaining:
We complain about our budget. I know, I've been there. But your budget isn't the reason why things aren't going the way you want them to. There are so many things you can do without a budget, so I know your small budget isn't keeping you from doing at least something. And the last time I checked, the Holy Spirit isn't limited by an unfavorable balance sheet.
We complain about our senior pastor. This one's really disrespectful. Look, no senior pastor is perfect. (Just like I've noticed that no youth pastor is perfect.) And if things are tough with your senior pastor, by all means, talk to your spouse, and perhaps a trusted friend or mentor to try to work out what you should do, and then work directly with your senior pastor to resolve any issues. But if your general attitude toward your senior pastor is one of complaining, you are battling him, and not working with him. Pray for him, pull for him, and support him in public. And if you can't do those things, do the honorable thing and resign.
We complain about the church down the street. Seriously? This one's just sinful. I once heard a youth worker complain that it was hard to get kids to their youth group because of a big church in their area. Do 100% of the teenagers in your church love Jesus and go to church? If not, why are you complaining about the students who are already attending a church? Quit complaining and go talk to a teenager who hates church and needs Jesus.
We complain about parents. For youth workers, parents are an easy target, especially for youth workers who don't have kids. News flash to those of you who don't yet have kids: one day, at some point, you'll be that parent that a teacher, coach, or dance instructor complains about. It happens. When you love your kids, you're going to annoy a few people. And if you're complaining about parents who don't love their kids enough or don't care much about helping their kids follow Jesus, why on Earth are you spending so much time complaining about them and such little time loving and equipping and serving them? Parenting is tough. Parenting teenagers is really tough. Parents need someone on their side, and you might be the only ally they have in the world.
Those are just a few of the symptoms I've noticed. And for the record, I've been guilty of all of them in my youth ministry career. I know this isn't what we're like all the time, but I've seen (and done) enough of it to concern me. I don't know if we've got a chip on our shoulder, but the complaining needs to stop. Yes, it's sometimes a difficult job–especially for those who don't get paid anything to do it. Yes, there are and will always be obstacles. So let's accept that as fact, stop complaining, and do the work that we are blessed to do.
QUESTION: What are you tempted to complain about sometimes? C'mon, be honest; it's okay if this turns into a group confession time.

Welcome to ATJ Squirrel Dog Kennel!
My name is Mike Croucher. I am originally from Connersville, Indiana and was born into a hunting family as well as a family with strong Christian values. My faith and family are very important to me and define who I am as a person. I moved to Moultrie, Georgia in 1993. I have hunted with squirrel and coon dogs for as long as I can remember. I have vivid memories of hunting when I was 4 years old following in my Daddy's boot prints to where our dogs were treed...the love of hunting with dogs was instilled in me early! I am now 41 years old, and hope to provide the same opportunity for others to fall in love with this wonderful sport, creating their own memories with an Atomic Feist!
I am a very particular hunter; my treeing feist must have a head full of sense and utilize their eyes, ears, and nose to tree game. They MUST hunt hard, tree quickly, and stay treed. I also want my Atomic Feist to have the "Heart of a Lion" and NOT know what the word quit means. I want the treeing feist that I hunt and breed to be a pleasure to hunt with, and yet be able to contend in the competition realm.
Atomic Feist will range between 15" to 17" tall at the shoulder and weigh between 17 and 26 pounds. Some will have "Stand Up" ears, which is preferred, and other's ears will break over at the tips. Their colors will vary from brindle or red with white trim, black and tan to anything in between. Most importantly the Atomic Feist are bred to be Squirrel Dogs.
"ATJ Dog Kennels" is NOT a puppy mill. We do try to have several litters of treeing feist puppies each year from various crosses within our kennel. We do NOT breed our dogs just to have a bunch of puppies to sell. In our breeding program, it is our goal to advance the Atomic Feist as a squirrel dog. Plus, to promote the sport of Squirrel Hunting with dogs. I carefully select which dogs I cross based on the genetic traits of each, in hopes of creating a squirrel dog with more well rounded abilities. As you may see, we have several dogs in our kennel. We are fortunate to have a few different hunters that can help out hunting our dogs. Our Treeing Feist are NKC, UKC and ATFA registered. The puppies we sell are NKC registered and eligible for ATFA registration once they start treeing their own game.
I offer a "Full Guarantee" on my Atomic pups. If hunted and the puppy isn't at the level it should be by the age of 14 months and it is delivered back to me completely healthy, I will replace the puppy for another puppy from another litter. I am confident that if given a chance to do what they are bred to do, you will be completely satisfied with an Atomic Feist from "ATJ Squirrel Dog Kennels". Enjoy our website.

And her inspiration for the racy photo may surprise you!
"In the beginning of my career, I did pictures like that," the rapper tells On Air with Ryan Seacrest. "And one of the people I've looked up to the most was Madonna and she's never stopped pushing the envelope. She's never stopped taking risks, and I don't ever want to stop doing that either."

Diabetes is the fifth most common disease in the world after malaria, tuberculosis, common cold and cancer and is one of the biggest causes of premature illness and death worldwide.

The logo for the British network Kix Power, which as of September 24th, was airing Power Rangers 24 hours a day.
There have been many themed networks in the United States that focused on a single type of show at one time, but perhaps never one dedicated to a single show, like Kix Power is in the United Kingdom.
Launched in the United Kingdom on July 22nd, Kix Power has so far aired nothing but the various Power Ranger series, all-day, every-day.
According to their website, they have been dedicating each week to a certain series of Power Rangers. As of the writing of this article, they are airing Power Rangers Dino Thunder.
There have been 20 seasons of Power Rangers to date, starting with three of the original series—Mighty Morphin' in 1993 through the current series MegaForce, which premiered earlier in 2013. The series combines footage of English-speaking actors with action footage from a Japanese franchise known as Super Sentai. Commonly, Power Rangers series focus around a group of teenagers that can morph into superheroes to fight off monsters and other villains.
Kix Power is a spin-off network of Kix in the United Kingdom, which airs other children-targeted shows, primarily American and Japanese productions, such as Digimon, Dragon Ball Z, The Batman, Justice League, and Power Rangers. In the United States, Nickelodeon currently airs Power Rangers repeats and first-run episodes.

Hi Ian,
How to put facebook connect not in a side bar, but in one fo my page on my website? Thanks
I want to add a simple WYSIWYG editor to my comments box. Is this possible with FBconnect?
Hi Ian great web site lots of nuggets of gold here thanks for sharing..
BUT your videos have no sound! That sucks!
Where are the Plug ins in WordPress?
I am using The Morning After theme. I have followed these instruction and everything look and seems fine until I try to Connect. I get the following message in the facebook box:
"Invalid Argument
The Facebook Connect cross-domain receiver URL (http://heathtavrides.com/wp-content/plugins/fbconnect/xd_receiver_ssl.htm#fname=_opener&%7B%22t%22%3A3%2C%22h%22%3A%22fbCancelLogin%22%2C%22sid%22%3A%220.251%22%7D) must have the application's Connect URL (http://www.heathtavrides.com/) as a prefix. You can configure the Connect URL in the Application Settings Editor."
Does anyone know how I can fix this? Thank you!
I fixed this by using "http://heathtavrides.com/wp-content/plugins/fbconnect" as my Connect URL.
Great plug-in and tutorial. Thanks for bringing a wonderful solution to an otherwise complicated application
I just installed this yesterday and I think everything is doing just great, with the exception of clicking on the viewer profiles or "view more" from the sidebar widget.

It would be a risky investment if the site would not be able to function at full capacity because of power or raw material delivery issues. Most of the ports in northeastern Honshu were heavily damaged from the tsunami. Western Japan has no electricity rationing. The two halves of Japan are unable to share electricity due to incompatible grids.

I've got a doubt in exception types (pg. 370 table 5-2 of K&B book) It mentions exceptions as thrown by the jvm or the program.
Is there any link between these and compile time/run time exceptions or is there a difference in the handling of such exception-causing code!
Please voice your comments as I've got more confused after reading this topic.

Compile time errors are a completely different beast. If your code won't compile, you can't run it so you will never get any exceptions of any sort.
The Errors and Exceptions referred to in that table are all run time events. In some cases they may be the result of faulty program logic, but the code must have compiled to get you that far.
In your every day coding, Exceptions thrown programmatically are typically the ones you will need to handle. However in the case of the table you referenced, all of the Exceptions are RuntimeExceptions and therefore none of them need to be checked. Errors do not need to be checked either, so nothing in the table is subject to the "handle or declare" rule.
So in the case of the table, the distinction between what is thrown programmatically and what is thrown by the JVM can only be stated as specifically as the section on page 367 (K&B
5) called "
Where Exceptions Come From
". The distinction is in the words "thrown explicitly" in the description of programmatic exceptions. This means that somewhere in your Java code or in the Java code that you are calling (including the code in the Java API) there is actually a line of code that says "throw Xxx", where Xxx is the Exception listed in the left column of the table.
[As an aside, the Java 6 version of K&B is out and has sufficient revisions to make the page numbers different. It would be helpful to note which edition of the book you are referencing.]
I agree. Here's the link:

Dallas Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo joined NFL Network analyst Rich Eisen and former Cowboys star Michael Irvin during training camp on Sunday evening to talk everything football. Here are some of the highlights:
On where he right now just a few days into training camp:
Romo: "Well you're in camp so it's about improvement. It's about the team. It's a brand-new team. I know every year we have all these rankings systems, we do all these things, and it's based off of really the previous season what everyone's done. But anyone who's played this game for an extended period of time understands that each year you come to camp, you come with a new team, and that's an exciting thing for us."
On how he's feeling coming off back surgery:
Romo: "I feel good. I think what you end up doing is using your back or using your body for the right time. So if I went out of two-a-days and then you ran all day, you did everything like that, well it would get heavy. It's like coming off of any surgery. You want to make sure that you're working it, but you're doing all the things in the weight room, in the training room to get yourself feeling good, and then when you have the chance to come out here, you test it and you know how many reps you can do before you kind of know that your days is over. And before you get back to where you're 100 percent, you kind of have to watch the numbers as you go through the process, so that's all we're doing right now."
On what type of offense fans should expect:
Romo: "I don't want to sit here and tell you what we're going to be. I think that sometimes that's a pointless ting for people to do is to tell you what they're going to be when they got to go out and prove it. This game will humble a lot of people. It'll make your team — you can think you're really good and all of a sudden you're not. People can think you're not very good and all of a sudden you're very good. So I don't want to get into predicting. I do know that I feel very confident that our team can execute at a very high level and do some things that I think are going to give us a great opportunity to win football games I think that we have that chance."
On what it's like to feed the ball to Dez Bryant"
Romo: "Well a camera can say a lot. It doesn't always tell the truth but makes for fun dialogue between a lot of different people. I think when you're actually around Dez, you know where his heart is. Even when it looks bad, it ain't bad. It's always like a — there's no malicious, manipulative intent to do anything. And so people talk about it but we just kind of go on. We got a game the next week. You got to push aside and you go. He's a competitive guy who loves to play. You want that guy …."
On his relationship with Bryant:
Romo: "Oh man if I was getting married this year, he'd be in my wedding. He's like a little brother to me. I've been able to kind of, as he came in, been able to kind of see him start off and mold himself into the player that he's become. I try to help him. Every once in awhile when he gets going and stuff, he knows when I say something stern to him, it's important. He knows his position, but he also has clout, he has a lot of credibility in that locker room so he's able to do some things that he wasn't able to do three or four years ago and that's reward for being a guy who bring sit and plays well."

As Blackberry RIM's shared jumped 1.4 percent and the company attempts to scoop up a sizable share of the market, other labels keep up with the weather and continues to steam roll their way through Fall. Supreme has released information on a few notable collaborations, especially one with Nike SB and another with Universal; adidas Originals paged in the Force and Lord Vader once again, and MINI pimped one of its rides for the world rally. Nike keeps on running with the girls, and Jordan Brand paid attention to the little ladies as well; meanwhile, LRG brings their folks from the streets to the Alpine Higher Than Hell, and G-Shock decides that it is not only protected against physical quakes, but is also able to deliver shocks of color without so much a tremor of uncertainty.

'Little Shop of Horrors' scares up drama nominations
May 29, 2012
By Warren Kagarise
The scene-stealing, man-eating plant in "Little Shop of Horrors" scared up 13 nominations for the Liberty High School drama program in a statewide competition.
The bevy of nominations is for The 5th Avenue Theatre's annual awards to recognize musical theater at high schools across the Evergreen State. The honor is akin to a Tony Award for student performers and productions.
The drama program at Liberty, the Patriot Players, presented "Little Shop of Horrors" in late April and early May. The campy musical revolved around a carnivorous plant, Audrey II, a collection of limbs and vines crafted especially for the Liberty performance.
The program received nods for Outstanding Overall Musical Production, Outstanding Direction, Outstanding Musical Direction and Outstanding Choreography.
Tucker Goodman earned a nomination for Outstanding Performance by an Actor in a Leading Role after starring as Seymour, a nebbish employee at a floral shop on a rough block. Jeremy Dodd received a nomination for Outstanding Performance by an Actor in a Supporting Role as the floral shop proprietor.
"Little Shop of Horrors" is also nominated for Outstanding Performance by a Chorus and Outstanding Performance by an Ensemble Group. The latter nod goes to actors portraying a group of street urchins.
If you go
The 5th Avenue Theatre Awards Honoring High School Musical Theater
The recognition extended backstage to technical efforts. "Little Shop of Horrors" is also nominated for Outstanding Scenic Design, Outstanding Lighting Design, Outstanding Costume Design, Outstanding Hair and Make-up Design, and Outstanding Lobby Display.
Sheady Manning-Bruce, Natalie Gress and Addison Halpin-Higmanas earned honorable mention recognition as the team behind Audrey II.
Issaquah High School earned honorable mention recognition for Outstanding Musical Direction for a fall production of "Fiddler on the Roof" — the debut musical at the school's Performing Arts Center.
Overall, the awards program includes 191 nominations and 99 honorable mentions.
Statewide, 93 productions representing more than 9,000 students applied for consideration in the annual awards.
Nominated students perform excerpts from nominated shows at a splashy ceremony held June 4 before audience members at The 5th Avenue Theatre. Organizers expect 2,100 high school students — plus friends and family members — to attend the ceremony.
The nominations for "Little Shop of Horrors" mark the latest milestone for the Liberty drama program.
"The Mystery of Edwin Drood" — a stage production based on Charles Dickens' unfinished murder mystery — garnered the Patriot Players a half-dozen nominations last year.
Goodman won the Outstanding Performance by an Actor in a Leading Role award for "The Mystery of Edwin Drood."
The 5th Avenue Theatre announced the nominees May 15. The program celebrates exceptional musical theater productions from the 2011-12 school year.
Liberty started participating in the awards program in 2005. "Seussical" in 2006 received 11 nods, the most nominations a Liberty show received before "Little Shop of Horrors."
In 2010, "Into the Woods" earned 10 nominations and received awards for Outstanding Lighting Design and Outstanding Performance by an Ensemble Cast in 2010. For a role as a prince in the musical, Goodman received a nomination for Outstanding Performance by an Actor in a Supporting Role.

Do Solar Room Heaters Work Very Well?
By Karl Schultz
How well do solar space heaters work? Here is how our experience with Solarsheat solar room heaters has gone so far.
Last year we installed a solar hot water heater with rebates from our electric utility. It worked so well and lowered our bills in our Texas home we decided to give solar room heating a try. Granted we do not get many sub zero days we do get many days each winter with temperatures around or below the freezing mark.
Since we had a big area of southwest facing wall with no windows we figured it would be the ideal spot for the solar room heater's collectors. In November of 2007 we bought a double collector solar home heater made by "Your Solar Home" and sold at Northern Tool and other retailers.
The solar space heater we bought is advertised to heat a room up to 1500 square feet and since that is just about the square footage of the upstairs of our home it was sized right.
The solar space heater contains a solar photovoltaic panel that makes the electricity for the internal fan and thermostat. The solar room heater does not require any extra wiring so that made installation easier.
First I located the studs on the outside wall and with the help of a friend installed the mounting brackets. Next using the template I cut a hole in the outside wall for the duct kit to go through the wall..
The whole solar room heater installation process from start to finish took 5 hours with the help of my neighbor to raise the panels into place and bolt them down.
The fist really good cold spell came last year at the end of November and we opened the duct work to let in the warm air. The unit only warms when sunlight is hitting it and for maybe an hour after direct sun has gone away.
The air coming out of the solar room heater's duct when sunlight is falling on the solar room heater is warmer than what comes out of your heating ducts. In about an hour after the sun had started shining on the solar heater warm air started to circulate through the ducts and fill the room. The central heat shut off and for about six hours we enjoyed pure solar heat and giving the electric meter a break.
Throughout the winter the solar space heater worked beautifully on sunny days however don't expect too much on cloudy days.
Drawbacks Of Solar Room Heaters.
Drawbacks to the Solarsheat solar room heater are that it only works well on sunny days. For some areas of the country where it is mostly always cloudy, such as Seattle, I would not recommend it. However, for anywhere there is ample winter sun, such as the desert southwest it is great.
In the summer the unit just sits there but I did notice that the backside became a nesting place for wasps. I had to spray once to get rid of the paper nests.
Added Benefit Of The Solar Room Heater On The Exterior Of The Home
One added benefit is that the area over which the solar room heater panels are installed is shaded from summer sun. It is a bit like having a shade tree or awning over that area so it helps keep that part of the wall cooler in summer as we noticed.
Solar Home Heater Hail Test
Because it is made of tempered glass and aluminum it is resistant to most flying debris and small to moderate hail.
Because it is not facing straight up it will not get direct hail impact. We had a small hail storm this summer and our Solarsheat solar room heater panels withstood hail that was marble to nickel sized with no damage.
Specifications Of Solar Space Heater We Used
The dual collector solar room heater measures 87 x 43 inches for each panel and is about 4 inches deep. The single collector heats a room up to 1000 square feet. The cost runs around $2995 for the dual model and for the single about $1900. You can always buy the single panel and add on a module for more heating for about $1000\
