Black Bear Control
Start with prevention
Generally, bears are confined to the southern counties, but they have been reported in a few northern counties as well. In the early spring, black bears emerge from their dens very hungry at a time when natural foods are scarce. It also is in the spring that family groups break up and breeding season begins.
Most of the black bears that cause nuisance problems in Missouri are yearling males that have been driven away by their mother, or threatened or attacked older males. In their search for food, it is most often these young males that come into contact with humans and cause problems.
Black bears can adapt to changes in habitat or food sources, and they will often tolerate contact with people in their search for food. In suburban areas, for example, bears may overcome their fear of people when they discover bird feeders or a readily available supply of pet food.
Also, bears are capable of remembering from year to year the location of reliable food sources. Therefore, it is important to take precautions to prevent raids from occurring and to avoid enticing bears with food. Although bears are secretive and shy by nature, they are wild and unpredictable animals. They may become aggressive if abused or unduly provoked.
Precautions should be taken to avoid confrontations and loss before bear damage occurs. The most effective and long-lasting success will be achieved through damage prevention rather than responding to a bear that already has discovered a food source. Bears learn rapidly and if their activities are rewarded by food, then barriers or harassment techniques will be less effective.
As is true with most problem wildlife, no technique will provide absolute security from nuisance problems. However, certain measures initiated in a timely manner can greatly reduce the extent and severity of bear damage.
How to avoid damage by black bears
Never intentionally feed bears! Feeding makes them lose their fear of being around people and usually results in the bears having to be destroyed. To reduce the potential of damage, don't encourage their presence or attract them to your property.
The following pages offer a more detailed review of bear damage, its identification, what to do if damage occurs, and where to go for help.
How to identify the presence of black bears
Black bears look pigeon-toed and bowlegged when they walk. Their front foot print consists of only the sole and toe impressions. Claw marks are not usually visible. The hindfoot leaves a distinctive heel impression, much like a human foot print.
The first step in solving a damage problem is to be sure bears, and not some other animals, are the cause. If you don't actually see the animal doing the damage, check the site carefully for clues, such as tracks, claw marks, feces and hair. Bears, one of the largest and heaviest wild mammals now living in Missouri, will leave behind bigger signs of their presence.
Black bears have five toes on each foot. Their hind footprint, usually about 7 inches long, resembles a person's footprint. The front ones are smaller, often measuring between 3 1/2 to 4 inches wide. Claw marks a re not always visible in the footprints.
Potential problems and solutions
Bee hives
Preventing black bear damage
- Keep mowed, cleared corridors around hive sites.
- Avoid placing hives in abandoned areas or near wooded, overgrown locations.
- Locate hives as close together as possible because they are easier to protect.
- Don't attract bears to your property by feeding them or providing supplemental food.
- Erect temporary or permanent electric fencing.
Identifying black bear damage
- Hives are knocked over, scattered and torn apart.
- Honeycombs or larvae have been destroyed or consumed.
NOTE: Skunks and raccoon also may destroy bee hives. However, their tracks and feces are much smaller and the extent of their damage is less destructive than that of a bear.
What to do if damage occurs
- Contact the county conservation agent.
- Use pyrotechnics or other harassment techniques to frighten bears away.
- Erect temporary or permanent electric fencing baited with bacon or an open can of sardines.
Livestock and other domestic animals
Preventing black bear damage
- Avoid pasturing livestock in abandoned locations, areas with heavy cover or fields adjacent to probable corridors used by bears.
- Do not leave carcasses of dead livestock exposed. Bury or incinerate them completely.
- Avoid feeding bears or providing supplemental food on your property that might attract bears.
- When possible, pen livestock near or in the barn at night, particularly pregnant animals and those with young. Because afterbirth material attracts bears, coyotes and other predators, it is a good idea to provide a place in a barn for livestock to give birth. If this is not possible, clear pastures and fields of all afterbirth material.
Identifying black bear damage
- Livestock surviving a bear attack will often show tooth marks on the neck at the base of the skull or long, 1/2-inch wide claw marks on the shoulders. Livestock that have succumbed to a bear attack often will have a broken neck or back as a result of blows from the bear's paws.
- Bears will often drag or carry a carcass away from the kill site, catch it, and return regularly to feed on it.
- Bears often will strip back or reverse the skin of larger prey, particularly along the back, and lick the meat from the bones. They do not normally eat the bones and skin. The udder of lactating female prey is highly preferred by bears and often will be eaten first.
- Inexperienced bears might expose the intestines, but muscle tissue usually is preferred and consumed.
NOTE: Care must be taken to distinguish bear damage from that of other carnivores, especially coyotes and domestic dogs. Coyotes usually kill their prey with bites to the neck, and feed on internal organs and hindquarters first rather than on the back or shoulders. Coyotes and dogs will not make long, 1/2 inch wide claw marks on the body. Also, coyotes and dogs usually do not strip back the prey's skin, but they will eat and chew the bones.
What to do if damage occurs
- Contact the county conservation agent.
- Consider modifying or replacing existing fence with high-tensile, low impedance electric fence around animal enclosures baited with bacon or an open can of livestock dines.
- Use guard dogs to discourage bears and warn of their presence.
- Move livestock to another pasture.
- Use pyrotechnics or other harassment livestock techniques to frighten bears away.
Preventing black bear damage
- Keep mowed, open corridors around the orchard and between the trees.
- Don't attract bears to your property by feeding them or providing supplemental food.
- Put up an electric fence.
- Use guard dogs to discourage bears fro coming into the orchard.
Identifying black bear damage
- Small trees are stripped of branches or mature trees have large limbs broken in the tops.
- Claw marks may be seen 4 1/2 to 6 feet above the ground.
What to do if damage occurs
- Contact the county conservation agent.
- Use guard dogs to discourage bears and warn of their presence.
- Use single-strand polypropylene electric tape around the perimeter of the orchard or around individual trees. Bait the fence with bacon or an open can of sardines. Prefabricated electric net fence can be used around individual trees. Consider installing permanent, high-tensile, electric fence around the orchard.
- Use pyrotechnics other harassment techniques to frighten bears away.
Corn and sorghum crops
Preventing black bear damage
- Keep mowed, open corridors around and between fields.
- Don't attract bears to your property by feeding them or providing supplemental food.
Identifying black bear damage
- Look for large, circular patches within the field's interior where stalks have been pulled inward and flattened or broken.
- Ears of corn will be completely eaten or cleaned of kernels. More plants may be damaged than are actually consumed.
- The damage occurs at the milk-stage of development.
NOTE: Take extra care to check held signs because a wide variety of animals damage corn. Raccoons often pull down stalks, strip the husks and will chew kernels from an ear, but normally do not cause the large circular patches of damage. Other animals such as deer and coyotes, will nip at the ears and silk, while beavers will chew, fell and remove the stalks.
What to do if damage occurs
- Contact the counts conservation agent.
- Keep guard dogs to discourage bears and warn of their presence. Put up single-strand polypropylene electric tape around fields or at least on the most exposed side or sides of a field as the crop matures, especially just prior to and at the milk-stage of development. Bait the fence with bacon or an open can of sardines.
- Use pyrotechnics or other harassment techniques to frighten bears away.
Trash receptacles
Preventing black bear damage
- Empty trash cans as often as possible and wash with a scented disinfectant to reduce the food odors.
- Keep trash containers inside at night. Place trash and garbage outside only on the day of pickup.
- Outdoors, use large trash bins that have metal, lockable lids.
- Keep lids locked at night. a Secure large, outdoor trash bins so they cannot be turned over.
- Empty large, outdoor trash bins at least once a week and wash with disinfectant.
Identify black bear damage
- Trash containers are knocked over and the contents scattered.
- Large, outdoor trash bins are turned over with garbage, plastic bags and wrappers sometimes carried 100 yards away and scattered.
NOTE: Care must be taken not to confuse bear damage with that of raccoons, dogs and other scavengers that commonly knock over trash cans and scatter the contents. These smaller animals often remain inside a large trash bin to eat whereas bears will usually remove the contents and scatter them over a considerable area around the receptacle.
What to do if damage occurs
- Contact the county conservation agent.
- Erect temporary or permanent electric fencing baited with bacon, sardines or other food that attract black bears.
- Use pyrotechnics or other harassment techniques to frighten bears away.
Preventing black bear damage
- Keep your campsite clean and free of food odor, wash cookware and remove garbage daily.
- Do not leave garbage in the camp overnight.
- Pack food in closed containers and place them in your car or other secure place.
- When backpacking, place food in plastic or burlap bags and suspend over tree limbs at least 5 feet from the nearest tree trunk, and at least 12 feet above the ground each night.
Identifying black bear damage
- Food containers are broken into, and items are scattered about.
- Trash receptacles are raided.
What to do if damage occurs
- Contact the county conservation agent.
- If the bear returns make noise, bang pots, and slowly retreat to a safe areas.
- Consider moving to another camping area.
Electric fencing tips to discourage bears
The specific design and list of materials for an electric fence will vary depending on each situation and the area to be protected. Suggested electric fencing options include: temporary, prefabricated electric net fencing with support posts incorporated into the fence; permanent, high-tensile, electrified wire on wooden posts; or temporary, polypropylene electric tape on fiberglass posts. Use low-impedence fence chargers. If the bear already has raided the area, bait the fence with some of the bear's favorite food. One proven method is to wrap strips of bacon on the low-intensity electrically charged wires. Another is to attach a partially open can of sardines to the charged portion of the fence with a piece of wire. When the bear takes a bite of the food, it will get shocked and associate the pain with the food source. A surprised animal usually will not return.

I did a 3.5 hour jaunt around Los Altos, Portola, and Woodside on Saturday.
From Tahoe City to the top of Mt. Rose and back. For a flatlander, it's a tough slog to the top but it's totally worth it. I went early Sunday morning and there was hardly any car traffic and I was the only bike on the road.
Just for fun I thought I'd add the elevation graph from that ride.

Saturday: Raced in the Masters 55+ at San Ardo. Got a flat at the beginning of the second lap and dropped out.
Sunday: Went out with my wife and younger daughter. Rode up to Los Altos from Cupertino, into Los Altos Hills, descended Page Mill from Altamont, Portola Valley, Woodside, and back via Sand Hill, etc. Hung out at Peet's.

Fairfield to West Sacramento and back. Just wanted to ride across the Yolo causeway. I'm taking a class in Sacramento, and everytime I drive across the causeway I envy the riders. Stopped in Davis at the park at East Corvello and F Street and had three gangbangers start looking at me out of the corner of their eyes and keep moving closer. I looked around and everyone else there(about 20 other people) had taken off when they showed up. I moved to the other side of the park to rest and they followed me, so I left. Is that a bad part of Davis? Ride was great otherwise.
My regular ride buddies switched our Saturday ride to Sunday, which I couldn't make.
So I rode 3 miles to In-n-Out. It was the best ride of my life.
Saturday, rode from Santa Clara up to Los Altos to catch the Alto Velo B ride which proceeded into Woodside, up Kings Mountain, south along Skyline, dipped down 84 then back up Old La Honda West, further south on Skyline, then down Page Mill Road, then home from there. My climbing legs were inexplicably good
No ride Sunday.
Cool! Glad to hear it was not as bad as you were initially concerned about...I read that other thread and was wondering the same, I've driven there several times and thought it would be a cool bike ride.Originally Posted by caloso

Oh, wait that's right I need to lose weight...
boo in-n-out!
Most of the week, I ride a road bike, but on Sundays, I've started mountain biking. This week, I went up Tam via Railroad Grade. The first time I went up Tam off-road a few weeks ago, I went up Eldridge Grade, which proved to be pretty challenging for a novice mountain-biker. Railroad was much easier, with a very gentle grade and a very smooth surface the whole way up.
Still, I was pretty hot and tired by the time I hit the West Point Inn, where a half dozen or so other cyclists were taking a break in the shade and enjoying a bite to eat. I thought about stopping there but decided I would just keep going to the top and get something to eat/drink at the snack shack at the East Peak visitor center. Unfortunately, when I finally made it there, the shack was closed. And the soda machine outside it was out of order. So it was just more lukewarm water from my Camelbak for me, until I made it back to Sausalito, where I stopped for a Coke before heading back to SF.
Typically, I've been seeing a lot of wildlife on these rides on the trails in the Headlands and Mt. Tam (a bobcat, a fox, a couple snakes, countless deer and rabbits) but this time, just a few lizards. I guess the bigger creatures, like the snack shop man, were taking the day off.
My usual ride consists of riding from Hiway 4 to San Ramon and looping back. Or San Ramon to Hiway 4 and looping back. Where ever I decide to put my truck..........
Sunday: Foresthill, 32 miles, ~2900'
Wednesday: ARBT from Granite Bay to Pond Park, 40 miles

Saturday: Garden Highway to the Sutter County line and back.
Sunday: Tri workout on the ARBT (for the record, I hate riding the dang bike path on weekend mornings, but some of our newbies aren't too comfortable on the road).
Monday: round and round the local elementary school playground with my son and his granddad.

saturday: from Mt. View down to Stevens Creek Reservoir and back

Today is one of my weekend days, nothing too exciting-- Richmond to Emeryville and back on the Bay Trail.
East Covell & F Street. There isn't a bad part of Davis, it's all tame. They must have come down from Woodland or West Sac...Originally Posted by scottmorrison99
The causeway is convenient, but I think it's my least favorite ride. Nasty air & noise from 80.
I kept it simple and went from Woodland to Winters and back on Saturday, 20 mile loop on Sunday. Just starting up again after a long break. Might be riding in Fairfield tomorrow depending on how the day goes...
From San Rafael (near Peacock Gap) to Paradise loop around Tiburon and back (just under 35 miles). This was my 3rd sizeable ride since I got my bike (Tour de Organics Sebastopol, to GGB and back and now this). Loving this. Too bad I go back in for second surgery to reconstruct my knee on Monday and will be off bike for maybe 6 months or more (only been into the sport since end of July).
Love this sport, though.
Hey, good luck with that. Sorry you have to have such a long lay off.Originally Posted by senatorw
Haven't ridden in Davis, but I can't imagine the noise from 80 on the causeway.Originally Posted by Rushfan
Saturday, I rode up Highway 9 from Santa Cruz to Saratoga, then sat around watching all the cyclists pass by for a while. Then, I climbed Bohlman and On Orbit, descended Montevina, climbed Black and Gist, descended Skyline and Bear Creek to Boulder Creek. From there, I took 236, Jamison Creek, and Empire Grade back home.
Monday, I rode to Corralitos. The market was closed for Labor Day. The sign at the bottom of Eureka Canyon saying road closed 10 miles was still there. Nonetheless, I rode up Eureka Canyon and Highland to the Summit Market and out of the fog and clouds. Then, I took Summit, Skyline, 9 and 236 to Big Basin, and returned home via Jamison Creek and Empire Grade.
It's a roar, unless traffic is stopped on the causeway, or you're going by during one of the slower times. If you're riding hard, it's less noticeable, but with so many other quiet roads in Yolo County, I don't like riding the causeway. Glad I don't use it to commute...Originally Posted by dauphin

Agriculture-based biofuels
Since the late 1970s, U.S. policymakers at both the federal and state levels have enacted a variety of incentives, regulations, and programs to encourage the production and use of agriculture-based biofuels. Initially, federal biofuels policies were developed to help kick-start the biofuels industry during its early development, when neither production capacity nor a market for the finished product was widely available. Federal policy has played a key role in helping to close the price gap between biofuels and cheaper petroleum fuels. Now, as the industry has evolved, other policy goals (e.g., national energy security, climate change concerns, support for rural economies) are cited by proponents as justification for continuing policy support.
The U.S. biofuels sector has responded to these government incentives by expanding output every year since 1996, with important implications for the domestic and international food and fuel sectors. The production of ethanol (the primary biofuel produced in the United States) has risen from about 175 million gallons in 1980 to an estimated 13.2 billion gallons per year in 2010. U.S. biodiesel production, albeit much smaller, has also shown strong growth, rising from 0.5 million gallons in 1999 to 678 million in 2008 before declining to an estimated 327 million in 2010.
Despite this rapid growth, total agriculture-based biofuels production accounted for only about 5% of total U.S. transportation fuel consumption (on a gasoline-equivalent basis) in 2010. Federal biofuels policies have had costs, including unintended market and environmental consequences and large federal outlays (estimated at over $7 billion in 2010). Despite the direct and indirect costs of federal biofuels policy and the relatively small role of biofuels as an energy source, the U.S. biofuels sector continues to push for greater federal involvement. But critics of federal policy intervention in the biofuels sector have also emerged.
Current issues and policy developments related to the U.S. biofuels sector that are of interest to Congress include the following:
• Many federal biofuels policies (e.g., tax credits and import tariffs) require routine congressional monitoring and occasional reconsideration in the form of reauthorization or new appropriations funding.
• The 10% ethanol-to-gasoline blend ratio—known as the "blend wall"—poses a barrier to expansion of ethanol use. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), issued waivers to allow ethanol blending of up to 15% (per gallon of gasoline) for use in model year 2001 and newer light-duty motor vehicles. However, the limitation to newer vehicles, coupled with infrastructure issues, is likely to limit rapid expansion of blending rates.
• The slow development of cellulosic biofuels has raised concerns about the industry's ability to meet large federal usage mandates, which, in turn, has raised the potential for future EPA waivers of mandated biofuel volumes and has contributed to a cycle of slow investment in and development of the sector.
• Several trade issues (including Chinese anti-dumping charges against an ethanol by-product and threats of a WTO dispute case against the U.S. ethanol import tariff from Brazil's main sugar cooperative) have emerged in early 2011 that, if realized, could slow further development of the U.S. biofuels sector.

I have several accounts. A side of the content I would like to backus (the site content) each one of them, has ONE huge folder (500-600GB) in it that prevents me from using the Cpanel/WHM backup function.
How can I take a backup of the account without that particular folder?

This was an abandoned house with a brick little house for the animals in the back. We connected the two volumes with two narrow wood sections, providing a nexus and a front for the house.
The construction in the back is converted into a luxurious bathroom. A spa with a house.
The construction in the back is converted into a luxurious bathroom. A spa with a house.
The former switchman house, attached to a long time abandoned railway, consisted in two small separated volumes, being the bigger the house itself and the smaller a tiny warehouse. The renovation consists in the addition of two one-meter deep volumes, a front porch and a bathroom connected to the small volume, now turned into a spa. The result is a tiny house with a huge bathroom that consumes almost 40% of its surface.
Other Projects
'Uncharted: New Landscapes of Tourism' has a two-fold objective: to explore new avenues of thought in design teaching, and to do so through research that deals with new architectural landscapes that are linked to tourism. Publishing projects from IE University's Undergraduate Architecture program responds to the desire to highlight the importance of design strategies in the process of reformulating the tourist offering within the framework of an open debate about new models for development.
Design wise, a system of red glyphs is overlaid to all pages of the book, codifying and punctuating them. This set of signs interlinks authors and projects in both english and Spanish sections, and aims to ease the reading of the texts and projects and the navigation of different metadata included in the book.
Each section of the book and type of content follows a graphical set up that includes variations in layout, background and text colour.

'PokéPark 2: Wonders Beyond' (Japanese: ポケパーク2 BW ビヨンド・ザ・ワールド Pokepāku 2 BW Biyondo za Wārudo, Poké Park 2: BW - Beyond the World) is a new game for the Wii. It is a sequel to the first game PokéPark Wii: Pikachu's Adventure.
Unlike the previous game, however, the player is now able to control Pikachu, Snivy, Tepig, and Oshawott. However, you do not have all four pals at the same time. You start out with Pikachu. After meeting Samurott, you will acquire Oshawott. Then you will meet Snivy at Verdant Court in the Arbor Area, and Tepig at Rockridge Fort in the Crag Area. Also, the attractions in Wish Park have been enhanced so that four players can cooperate and compete with each other.
In the game you are not able to change Pokémon during a battle just like in the previous game, but there are also areas where Pokémon will let you ride on them like Mandibuzz or Drifblim that allows you to go to areas you couldn't get to yourself.
This game has a noticeably darker plot than it's prequel.
Plot and/or ending details may follow.
and Piplup are heading to PokéPark to play. Meeting a bunch of Pokémon along the way to Seasong Beach, such as a Timbur, they come across Krokorok and Sandile, who are advertising Wish Park to Watchog, Munchlax and Cinccino. Overhearing the conversation, Piplup wants to go to Wish Park with Pikachu. Along the way, they meet Piplup's friend, Oshawott. Finding Krokorok and Sandile, they request to go to Wish Park. After being charged 10 berries per Pokémon (20 berries), a portal appears and Piplup and Pikachu jump through it to Wish Town.
Arriving at Wish Park, where the ground seems to be floating and the background is gloomy, Gothita greets them and acts as their guide. They travel to Cofagrius's Attraction, where the Pokémon can get cake. Meeting Cofagrigus, the Attraction Boss, he leads you to play Cake Contraption, where you get to make and eat your own cake. After finishing the minigame, Pikachu and Piplup get ready to eat their cake but get interrupted by Pansear. Warning the two not to eat the cake, as the other Pokémon are behaving oddly after eating their cake. Cofagrigus appears, and stuffs Pansear's mouth full of cake, which causes Pansear to want even more cake. About to stuff Pikachu and Piplup's mouth full of cake, Oshawott appears and saves them. Battling 6 Yamask's, Pikachu defeats them all. After the battle, a mysterious voice says that not one of PokéPark's Pokémon shall escape. 2 giant shadow hands appear, (later revealed to be Darkrai) and chase Pikachu, Piplup, and Oshawott across Wish Park, towards the entrance. Getting trapped near the portal, Piplup sacrifices itself to knock Pikachu through the portal.
Spoilers end here.
Playable Characters (Story Mode)
Another thing that sets PokéPark 2 away from the previous game is that there are four playable Pokémon as compared to just Pikachu. They are listed below:
- Pikachu: Pikachu's moves are Thunderbolt, Iron Tail, and Quick Attack. Pikachu can use his Thunderbolt to shock blocks with a lightning symbol it, removing it from its way in the dungeons. It can also carry small Pokémon and items.
- Snivy: Snivy's known moves are Leaf Tornado and Leaf Storm which can be used to increase the height of its
- jumps and access normally unreachable places and to battle.
- Tepig: Tepig's known attacks are Flamethrower, Heat Crash, and Flame Charge which could be used to battle, smash small rocks and destroy large boulders that act as unbreakable obstacles for the other Pokémon.
- Oshawott: Oshawott's known attacks are Razor Shell and Water Gun which seems to only help the player in battle. However, Oshawott has the ability to swim in large bodies of water that the other Pokémon cannot cross.
Similar to the previous game, PokéPark 2 also has attractions located in Wish Park. However, unlike its predecessor, when you play the Attractions for the first time, only Pikachu, Snivy, Tepig, and Oshawott are playable. You can also play with three other friends in a special function on the menu. The game only has 4 attractions; the Cake Contraption, Dance Inferno, Power Bash and the Flight of Fancy.

- Old Nan: "I know a story about a crow."
- Bran Stark: "I hate your stories."
- Old Nan: "I know a story about a boy who hated stories."
- — Old Nan's storytelling[src]
Old Nan is a recurring character in the first season. She was played by Margaret John and debuts in "Lord Snow." Margaret John passed away on 2 February 2011, after the completion of filming for the first season. According to the writers the character passed away between the first and second season.[1] Old Nan is an elderly servant at Winterfell, known for her storytelling.
Old Nan is an elderly woman living in Winterfell. She is a retired servant of House Stark known for her tale-telling abilities. She has entertained the children of Eddard and Catelyn with stories throughout their childhoods. Her great grandson Hodor is a stable hand at the castle.
Season 1
Old Nan sits by Bran's bedside to watch him after his mother leaves for King's Landing. She suggests the story of Duncan the Tall and Bran replies that he hates her stories but prefers the scary ones. She tells him about the Long Night and the winter that lasted a generation, when the white walkers ventured south.[2] Theon Greyjoy interrupts another story and says that he would go mad if he was left alone with Old Nan.[3]

Behind the scenes
Actress Margaret John, who played Old Nan in Season 1, passed away only two months before Season 1 began to air, though all of her scenes had already been completed. The character does appear during the second book, however, in the show canon she's considered by the writers to have passed away between seasons.
Image gallery
In the books
In A Song of Ice and Fire novels, Old Nan is the oldest person living at Winterfell. She came to Winterfell to act as wetnurse for a Brandon Stark, which one is unsure, only that his mother had died birthing him. This Brandon Stark is believed to be either the brother of Lord Rickard Stark or a brother of his father. She's retired but tells stories and legends to the Stark children. She lost two sons in Robert's Rebellion and her grandson during the Greyjoy Rebellion, while her daughters moved away and died. Her only surviving family is her great-grandson, the gentle, slow-witted Hodor.
"Nan" might be short for "Nymeria". When Arya Stark is on the run after escaping from King's Landing, one of the aliases she uses is "Nymeria", but she says to call her "Nan" for short.

Great boots very comfortables jones of 80454, CO - September, 25 2011:
Worth every penny! Made in the USAsam mazzeo of anchorage, AK - November, 19 2011:
i hunted for 1 week in these boots and they leaked badly. i returned them to kenetrek and they did not warranty them. i would not buy these boots.Greg M of Provo, UT - May, 05 2012:
I love these boots. We hiked in over 18 inches of snow last elk season and not once were my feet ever wet or cold. Packing out the elk quarters we had to walk through the rivers and I thought for sure I'd be soaked but not a drop. Keep em oiled up with there wax and there going to last forever.Aaron of Sparks, NV - August, 17 2012:
If you hunt hard I would definitely not recommend these boots. I spend about 100 days in the field a year. The soles on these boots were completely gone in under 8 months and kenetrek did nothing except offer to resole them for their normal price. They were really comfortable and waterproof but I refuse to resole them every 8 months when I paid 379.00 that's ridiculous.Mitch of Green River, WY - December, 14 2012:
These boots cost a extra 100-200 more than what I would usually spend on boots, but I had to try them. These are the Best boot I've ever warn, I purchased the 400 gram and there extremely warm even below 0. These are the warmest 400 gram boots I've ever owned. The support is unreal. The boots take a while to break in, but once they do there heaven. I had a minor issue with one of my boots that was more than likely caused by me, I called up sportsman warehouse and without hesitation they sent me a brand new pair. Best customer service in the world. I already plan on ordering the uninsulated this next summer.Jeff of Cottonwood Heights, UT - October, 23 2010:
Very comfortable but yet very durable. extremely waterproof.Sean of Silverdale, DC - January, 30 2014:
I picked these boots up after two years of debating the purchase. Until I started walking around in them, I had no idea what I was missing out on for so long. They fit like a glove and the break-in is going extremely well. Got 5 miles on them already and only had them a week. The support is second to none, I am not even sure I will need a performance insole. If you have been on the fence, just go for it you won't regret it.Rick of Sacramento, CA - May, 31 2014:
The first pair would produce blisters after about 1 mile, every time. Used plenty of moleskin. After speaking with Kenetrek I returned them for a pair 1/2" size smaller. This was after a year of use. Kenetrek exchanged for no charge. The new 1/2 " size smaller fit perfectly, no blisters. Best boot I have ever worn. Awesome customer service, they have a customer for life.Justin of Magna, UT - August, 06 2014:
BEST BOOTS I HAVE EVER OWNED!Old Bear of Poulsbo, WA - December, 31 2014:
I purchased the Mountain extreme 400 they broke in easily for me. I used them all of 2014 in some hardscrabble very wet terrain and I liked them so much that I bought a non insulated pair for early season hunting. My conclusion is they are worth every penny I paid.

News 12 First at Five / Wednesday, Nov. 21, 2012
AUGUSTA, Ga. -- The charter school amendment that stirred up a lot of controversy in our area may have just been the tip of the iceberg.
Now that it has passed, a state senator out of Atlanta is planning to push for a follow-up law known as a parent trigger law.
The law would give parents the power to fire teachers or administrators. Supporters of the law say parents should have a more active role in how their child's school is managed, but the president of the PTA in Richmond County says this law gives parents too much power.
Parent trigger laws have been put in place in seven states since 2010 and Georgia could be next.
Monique Braswell, president of the Richmond County PTA, said, "I think this is entirely too much power."
The law gives parents the right to intervene in a school if it's performing poorly. Parents can put together a petition, and with enough signatures, either convert the school to a charter school, replace administration and faculty or close the school altogether.
Sen. Ed Lindsey from Fulton County is planning to make a big push for the law in Georgia during the upcoming legislative session.
"It basically enables parents to be more involved in their children's education," he said.
But Braswell says this is not as good as it sounds.
"We have too many angry parents at our system right now that would just be trying to get rid of administrators and teachers based on their personal emotions," he said.
But Sen. Lindsey says parents won't have the final say.
"The ultimate decision of whether to accept the petition of the parents or not would be with the local school board," he said.
Braswell pointed out, "We're firing administrators and we're firing teachers, who's going to pay them to leave? They're not just being fired and walking out the door without anything."
Braswell says this law could be costly, citing a school in Florida that fired an administrator under the parent trigger law but had to pay him $500,000 in severance pay.
"This is going to bankrupt our public school system," she said.
Lindsey says this wouldn't bankrupt the system because ultimately, if the local school board doesn't have the funds, they don't have to agree to the petition.
This legislation will be coming up in the Georgia state senate in January -- and we'll continue to follow this for you.

May 5, 2016
A federal judge has ruled that there is racial diversity in the Pitt County school system.
Judge Malcolm Howard issued his ruling on the so-called unitary status case this morning, nearly two months after testimony in the trial wrapped up.
Several families joined forces with the Coalition to Educate Black Children as plaintiffs against the school district to fight what they consider discriminatory practices.
In his ruling, the judge denied injunctive relief for the families and granted the school district unitary status.
"The School Board has proven that the vestiges of state-mandated discrimination practiced over forty years ago have been eliminated to the extent practicable and that the School Board, as well as its predecessor boards, has complied in good faith with this court's desegregation orders and possesses a good faith commitment to the eradication of de jure discrimination in its schools," Judge Howard wrote in his 42 page order.
During the hearings, the school district said the Pitt County Board of Education has tried to desegregate schools since a federal court order was handed down in the 1970s. The district is trying to achieve unitary status, which would remove them from needing federal court oversight when it comes to racially-balanced schools.
The district said it hoped Judge Howard's decision would alleviate the courts from having to approve any student assignment changes in the the future.

Dave Dildine, wtop.com
On the final weekend of 2012, work zones on the roads and rails will have a minimal impact on travel but winter weather will likely affect holiday travel early Saturday.
Although delays on holiday weekends are notoriously unpredictable, travel on Interstate 95 in Virginia will likely be slow in stretches between Springfield and Fredericksburg. The Redskins game at FedEx Field will lead to delays throughout Landover on Sunday night.
Anticipate holiday volume delays on the key interstates leading into the Washington area throughout the long weekend including I-270 and I-70 in Maryland and I-95 in Virginia.
The ABC7 Weather Center is forecasting light snow to overspread the region early Saturday morning. Travel on the roads in the northern and western suburbs may be slippery and treacherous.
Drivers northwest of town have had their winter weather driving skills tested twice so far this winter. Monday, winter weather snarled traffic on the routes through Loudoun and Frederick counties. Motorists in these areas could again be impacted by ice and heavier snow accumulations.
Give yourself plenty of stopping distance and allow for extra time to reach your destination if you will be traveling through these areas.
Most major road improvement projects have suspended lane closures through next Wednesday.
Metro & Rail
Metrorail will operate on a normal weekend schedule on Saturday and Sunday. The only work zone will be on the Green Line between College Park and Greenbelt where single-tracking will take place.
On Monday Metro will operate on a normal weekend schedule but the system will remain open two hours later than normal to accommodate late night events. Although the departure times for the last trains will vary by station, Metro says the system will remain open until about 2 a.m.
On New Years Day Metro will operate on a Sunday schedule and will open at 7 a.m.
Scheduled track work will resume on the Red Line and Blue Line after 8 p.m. Trains will single-track between Friendship Heights and Medical Center and between Franconia-Springfield and Van Dorn Street.
On Monday both MARC and VRE will operate on an "S" Schedule. There will be no service on Tuesday.
The NFC divisional showdown between the Redskins and Cowboys is set to begin at 8:20 pm this Sunday night at FedEx Field. Metro will keep the Morgan Boulevard Station on the Blue Line open late to accommodate the extra ridership following the game. All other stations will close at a normal time.
Expect congestion on the routes leading toward and away from FexEd Field before and after the game. Parking lots open at 3:30 p.m. and gates open at 5:30 p.m.

You know, I've seen and read a lot of horrifying things in my life. The story about the man consumed by bugs and other creepy crawlies, for example, had me skeeved out for a bit, but I quickly bounced back. The story was in one ear and out the other; I kept my stride and kept walking. But sometimes just sometimes I see or read something that stays with me for days, gnawing at my psyche like a maggot on dead flesh.
When I see these kind of things, these eye-staining, mind-draining things, something strange happens inside of me: I want others to see it, too. I want someone to acknowledge that the shivers running up my spine are not mine alone. Someone else must feel the same reaction. And so, it falls upon this blog to birth my social need for spine-shivering acknowledgment.
Today's post is about bugs, creepy things that sneak into your shoes and disappear when they hit the carpet. More specifically, though, this post is about ermine moths winged bugs. For you see, bugs, no matter the kind, cause me to stare, wide-eyed, watching them like a scientist with a microscope. I know that the second I turn away they will disappear, reappearing moments later on my pants, shoes, or shirt.
The ermine moths have something unique about their species: their larvae often produce massive interconnected webs, which they use to catch prey. The web has been known to stretch for quite some distance, even covering a row of tombstones in a graveyard. Don't believe me? Here are the pictures to prove it:

Notice the age of all the people in the pictures--perhaps round glasses are in style to accommodate those of us who need bi or triple focal lenses for our aging eyes! And of course we remember the 60s/80s icons the NYT article mentions.

text: Iced Earth is an American heavy metal band from Tampa, Florida. Originally formed under the name "Purgatory" in 1984, Iced Earth has released a total of ten studio albums, one live album and three EPs, compilations and boxsets. Their first album, simply titled Iced Earth, was released in 1990 and their latest release, Dystopia, was released on October 17, 2011. Iced Earth is well known for having an ever-changing line-up, with band founder and rhythm guitarist Jon Schaffer staying the only constant member throughout the groups over 20-year existence. Besides Schaffer, the longest-running musician in the group was singer Matt Barlow. Barlow originally joined for their 1995 album, Burnt Offerings, and stayed until 2003, when he became a police officer. After Barlow, the band was fronted by Tim "Ripper" Owens for two albums, until Barlow returned in late 2007. He left once again in 2011, this time citing family reasons and the bands tour schedule. Currently the band is fronted by Stu Block from Into Eternity.

After a rough opening session on Monday, stocks rallied sharply on Tuesday. The Dow enjoyed a triple-digit gain after oil prices eased and bank shares bounced higher on the possibility of further dividend payouts and share buybacks.
Increasing violence in Libya caused oil prices to rise and stocks to fall 80 points to close at 12,090 on Monday. It didn't help that a Wells Fargo analyst also downgraded the semiconductor industry, sending shares of Intel down by 1.6%.
During a volatile week, stocks bounced between Mideast turmoil and generally strong economic reports. Even with the jobless rate's surprising drop, equities ended on a down note. Still, stocks eked out a tiny overall gain on the week.
The first trading day of the month is usually good to equities, but after a two-day respite, stocks went back back to suffering broad-based declines. The sharp rise in oil prices overshadowed some encouraging corporate and economic news.
The market suffered its biggest swoon since August last week as chaos swept Libya and oil prices hit multiyear highs. With the geopolitical landscape uncertain for the foreseeable future, don't be surprised if stocks come under further selling pressure in the days ahead.
Gold bugs love bad news, and civil war in Libya, Africa's third-largest oil producer, couldn't have come at a better time. After dropping a hundred bucks in January, February's upheavals have hoisted gold back within striking distance of nominal all-time highs.
Stocks fell sharply Friday as investors fled to safety amid disappointing economic data, mixed corporate earnings reports and escalating violence in Egypt. A soft start for equities only got worse as the day progressed.
Stocks closed sharply higher Monday with the Dow Jones posting a triple-digit gain as technology stocks rallied after Intel raised its dividend and expanded its share repurchase program by $10 billion. The index last saw 12,000 in June 2008 -- on the way down.
Stocks closed broadly higher Wednesday after Portugal's government had no trouble in tapping global debt markets, helping ease European debt fears. The euro gained at the dollar's expense, which lifted a broad basket of commodities as well as U.S. equities.
Wall Street started the new year with a robust rally, helped by encouraging corporate and economic news that pushed the broad market to a 28-month high. The S&P 500 has now reclaimed nearly 90% of its losses from the bear-market bottom of March 2009.
Stocks closed broadly higher Tuesday, helped by more deal activity in the financial sector and upbeat earnings from the tech sector. After more than two years, the market has regained all its losses following the implosion of Lehman Brothers in September 2008.
Stocks closed moderately higher Wednesday after flitting around breakeven on light trading for much of the session. Financials outperformed, while commodities suffered. Treasury bond yields hit their highest intraday level since June. End-of-year strangeness?
The Dow jumped skyward on Wednesday as stocks rallied around the globe on a stream of strong economic news, both abroad and in the U.S. A less anxious outlook for European sovereign debt also helped.
Stocks closed slightly higher Friday after fluctuating most of the session as some better-than-expected quarterly earnings helped offset anxiety over China's move overnight to curb inflation. Ireland made progress on a possible aid package with the European Union, but like the equity markets, the dollar, gold and oil were little changed by day's end.
On Thursday, stocks clawed back nearly of the week's prior losses. Lifing investors' spirits were an easing of concerns over Irish debt, GM's IPO and some surprisingly positive economic reports.
The Dow tumbled Tuesday 178 points, or 1.6%, to close at 11,024 as part of a global sell-off in stocks fueled by further speculation that China will hike interest rates to fight inflation and renewed worries over the wobbly finances of Ireland, Portugal and Greece.
The Dow surged nearly 200 points, while inflation fears propelled gold to another record close. The Institute for Supply Management said its services index rose to 53.2 last month from 51.5 in August. Economists had expected the measure to rise to 52.
Gold prices suffered their biggest one-day drop since early February after the European Central Bank's emergency funding programs suggested the Continent's financial system may not be as wobbly as initially thought.
Gold prices were essentially unchanged in early Wednesday trading despite a mixed bag of economic data.
