Don, the cauterizing agent that I carry is called "Wound Seal". It is a dry powder in individual packs for small wounds. The material is similar to the wound packs issued to combat medics. We had a seminar at the gun range on how to use the large packs for gunshot wounds (God Forbid). My Wife picked this stuff up at (of all places) the .99 Cent Store, and it is actually made in the USA.
This thread reminded me of a great mini-emergency kit for pack, or coat pocket. It is called "Storm Kit", and is assembled by the Tacoma Mountain Rescue Unit. It contains matches, candle, sugar, salt, bullion, tea, wire, whistle, signal mirror, and plastic tube tarp, packed into an oversized Prince Albert can (tin can for you whippersnappers, who have never seen a PA can), which doubles as a vessel for boiling water. It has been a few years since I bought one, but it was under $10 at REI. We all carried these when we hunted Elk in Colorado, and had an ironclad pact that you never left camp without the storm kit, due to the nature of Colorado's weather.

ROCKVILLE, Md. (WUSA) - Two incidents involving utility scams in Chevy Chase and Bethesda are being investigated, according to Montgomery County Police.
On October 26, at approximately 11:35 a.m., police responded to the 5300 block of Sherrill Avenue for a report of a burglary. The 87-year-old woman victim told police that she had responded to a knock at the door, opening it to find a male suspect wearing tan pants and a hard hat. He told her that he worked for Bethesda Water Company, that there was a water main break and that he needed to check the water pressure.
At this point, a neighbor arrived to check on the victim, and the suspect again stated that he worked for Bethesda Water Company. He left, getting into a gray Saturn vehicle.He did not enter the victim's home.
The same day at 11:50 a.m., police responded to the report of a burglary in the 5200 block of Alta Vista Road. The 86-year-old woman victim told police that she heard a knock on the door, and she opened it to find a male suspect wearing blue jeans, a reflective vest, and hard hat. He told her he worked for the water company, that there was a water main break and that he would have to check the water pressure in the basement.
The victim accompanied the suspect to the basement, and while there, she heard heard footsteps upstairs. When she questioned the suspect about the footsteps, he quickly left her home. residence. After the suspect had left, the victim went upstairs and discovered that jewelry was missing from her bedroom.
Detectives are asking anyone with information about these incidents or the suspect(s) involved to call 301-657-0112.
Police also warn residents that there will be an increased amount of utility work in the aftermath of Sandy, and to be aware that all utility workers will carry proper identification. If workers cannot provide proper identification, residents should not allow them into their homes. Residents should also check with local utility companies to be certain the company has workers in the area before letting any workers into their homes.


text: i only let the pit lord hit the doom lord once then immediately use demonic gateway as i make the pitlord go back on kanrethad. used it every time i saw the doom lord[s] target me to drop threat. i think the aggro of the doom lords is tied to kanrethad himself, and the pit lord seems to lose threat pretty quickly if i didn't use soul shatter and demonic gateway as much as possible. my memory is kinda fuzzy but i sort of remember doom lords never attacking me during the time where kanrethad is about to cast chaos bolt but ends up not doing it since the pit lord has sufficient threat, but during the time when he actually does start casting chaos bolt, i use teleport then run up to my demonic gateway to wipe threat, causing the doom lords to go back to the pit lord after they finish casting their shadowbolts me [edit: as an example of threat mechanics of the fight. sometimes i'd gain too much aggro at various points but a simple gateway jaunt would fix it]. for the felhunters, i put the pit lord deep into the cubby as it seems like the pitlord has a hitbox that's just large enough so that the felhunter can see it and eat the enslave if it's not deep enough inside. never had trouble with felhunters after that [also there's only 2 felhunter phases].

PHOTOS: Florida's rejected license plates aren't always offensive
BRADENTON, Florida - A panel of law enforcement experts who reviewed the investigation into a 22-year-old woman's death reportedly say the case should be reopened.
The Herald-Tribune reports that a law enforcement review panel assembled by the Florida Department of Law Enforcement held a closed-door meeting last month to go over the Bradenton Beach police investigation of the death of Sheena Morris. This week, they ruled that the case should be reinvestigated.
However, Bradenton Beach Police Chief Sam Speciale disputes the Herald-Tribune's report, saying he will not be given the recommendations until Friday.
Morris' death was ruled a suicide in 2009. Her mother has maintained that her daughter was murdered, and that her body was posed to make it look like she hanged herself.
What happens next is up to Chief Speciale, who has declined requests to reopen the case in the past.

Herd's Tinnon still yanking 'em down
HUNTINGTON, W.Va. -- Dennis Tinnon's individual goal was straightforward, if not simple: Lead NCAA Division I in rebounds.
It wasn't an outlandish notion twelve months ago, about the time he yanked down 19 of them against Alabama-Birmingham. That set a still-standing career high, topping the 15 set a month earlier in Syracuse.
Yes, Syracuse. And that game came after 14-rebound efforts against Ohio and Cincinnati, the latter prompting coach Mick Cronin to label his usually physical Bearcats a "pretty" team.
Right out of junior college, Tinnon was such a rebounding machine, opponents looked forward to seeing him in person, to watch how he operates. It's kind of like they knew he was going to get his 10-plus; they just wanted to stop him from getting 10 on the offensive end.
By any measure, the 6-foot-8 native of Green Bay, Wis., had an above-average year. He averaged 10.2 points, shot 55.4 percent from the field and 72.3 percent from the line. He ranked third in Conference USA in the art of rebounding, 22nd nationally.
Alas, he averaged 9.9714 rebounds per game, grabbing 349 in 35 contests -- one stinkin' board short of a double-double average.
But that's nitpicking. He has established himself by any measure, and when he won an NCAA appeal granting him another year of eligibility, opponents were put on notice to expect more rough nights on the boards.
On the other hand, those opponents aren't making life easy for Tinnon, who has yielded the power forward position to Elijah Pittman and taken on small-forward duties. Tinnon, who has taken 20 3-point shots vs. two for all of last season, has a longer trek to the rim at times.
And a lot more opposing bodies in the way.
"Once guys start doing the scouting report, they're all on me," Tinnon said last week. "[At Texas El-Paso], I couldn't get . . . I think I only had three rebounds. Everywhere I turned, those guys were hip-checking me, putting the forearm into my chest or something. It started to get really physical."
Yes, the Miners remembered the pummeling they suffered in Huntington 12 months earlier and dished it back out in a 74-63 win. Against East Carolina last weekend, Tinnon bounced back with 11 points and 12 rebounds - his fifth double-double of the season and the 17th in his 53-game career.
His scoring average has risen to 10.9 points and his rebounding average is up to 9.2, ranking him 41st after Sunday's action. In an upset of sorts, he is second on his own team in offensive boards, trailing Nigel Spikes 64-53.
The latter stat is mostly a product of Tinnon playing the "three." After all, if you see Spikes 15-plus-feet from the basket, he's probably setting a screen.
As a team, the Herd was outrebounded for the seventh time this season in the ECU game, winning for the first time in such a situation. There was a good reason, though - MU defenders were parked at the 3-point line, clamping down on the Pirates' fire-the-cannons attack. Among other things, that led to the strange sight of big man Robert Goff committing a three-shot foul.
That also led to the Pirates getting more rebounds, but the Herd was hardly harmed in the 77-56 laugher. Besides, Tinnon found his way to the ball, as usual.
"I continue to work hard," he said. "And I make sure when a guy puts his forearm on me, I'm still swimming, I'm spinning to try to get that ball."

In preparation for Pulse 2010 in Vegas, I interviewed Vik Chandra, the Pulse track lead for Energy and Efficiency, to help you generate good ideas for submitting your call for speaker abstracts for Pulse. Vik will actually be reviewing the submissions with a team of other folks, so you can really trust his advice. Here's what he had to say:
Me: What are hot topics in the area of Energy and Efficiency right now? Which topics would you really like to see presented at Pulse?
Vik: The focus of going green is on reducing costs. The first step to going green is to gain visibility into energy consumption end-to-end across the infrastructure. The attendees at Pulse would benefit from learning about your experiences including:
- What triggered your organization to look at reducing energy consumption?
- What were the goals/motivations of the different parts of your organization?
- Why you selected a particular solution
- How was the experience of deploying the solution?
- What results/benefits have you seen from the solution?
- How has your organization communicated the results of energy efficiency efforts internally and externally?
- What are the next steps in your energy efficiency efforts?
Vik: Energy efficiency activities span the entire infrastructure. IT organizations have different challenges from facility organizations and from manufacturing organizations as an example, Execs and leaders within the sustainability or operations organizations that are currently implementing or exploring energy management solutions will be ideal speakers.
Me: What are you looking for in a good proposal?
Vik: A good proposal should be educational, motivational and practical. Ideally, your peers should be able to learn from your experience to initiate their own energy management projects. It's important to note that you don't have to have demonstrable energy savings to deliver a successful proposal. There are significant lessons to be learn from your experiences on simply getting to the point of deciding on energy efficiency projects
Me: What are the benefits of submitting an abstract for Pulse?
Vik: Free admission to Pulse ($1,995 value) and recognition for yourself and your organization as leaders in the area of Energy Efficiency.
Me: What is the deadline for submitting call for speaker abstracts?
Vik: The deadline to submit your speaker abstract is Nov. 2nd. Don't delay, submit your proposal today.
With such great guidance from Vik, you're sure to write a perfect proposal. If you have any questions on submitting abstracts for Pulse or want feedback on an idea, just leave a blog comment or feel free to email me. Also, be sure to check out this justification letter if you need that extra edge to convince your boss of the value of attending Pulse. I hope to see you there!

Pittman's attitude, Heater's aptitude, hoops attendance
CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- TODAY'S TRIVIA question for Marshall fans, and anybody else: Are your team's attendance figures above or below the Division I average, and the median?
Answers are below. In the meantime, we shall ponder the following issues:
I was not in El Paso, but Herrion could have been talking about Elijah Pittman's second-half technical foul, or he could have been talking about some visible discord among his players. I'd say both.
That guess comes from second- or third-hand info. One of my "tweeps" apparently was monitoring the UTEP broadcast (the English-language version, I would guess), and heard that Pittman was running his mouth the whole game, and some team members were yelling at each other.
I'm not sure about all that, but I do know Pittman drew his fourth technical foul of the season with 17:29 left in the second half, part of a double technical with UTEP's Julian Washburn. I do know Pittman didn't come out immediately, and he ended up playing the most minutes (33) of all Herd players whose last names do not rhyme with "pane."
And I do know I worry about the guy. From all I see and hear, he is at least even odds to earn a suspension by Herrion. One hopes he doesn't go the way of Justin Coleman, whose promising career was doomed by disciplinary matters.
Pittman is a legitimate stud who has made an appearance on the ESPN SportsCenter top 10 (that nasty lean-in dunk against Cincinnati). If he simply shuts up and plays, he'll have one of the better two-year careers in MU history.
If he doesn't, Herrion will have to shut him up.
In five games against the Miners in the Don Haskins Center, MU has fallen behind by an average maximum of 19 points, blowing into double digits all five times. And it gets worse: The Herd has led in a combined 16 minutes, 53 seconds in those games.
And that all happened in first halves. The Herd has never led or even tied the Miners after halftime on the road, whether under Herrion, predecessor Donnie Jones or Ron Jirsa.
Ouch, ouch and ouch.
Don't ask me if it's a good hire because I'm never certain. Heater's Temple defense ranked 90th in the nation in total defense, but you can argue that the Owls faced long odds in their ascension to the Big East.
And if Heater and boss Doc Holliday bring Steve Dunlap along, it's no fair griping about Dunlap's single-season tenure as MU's defensive coordinator. As you should recall, the greatest defensive minds in the game couldn't have saved the 2007 Herd defense.
That was a little eye-popping, but I am really offering that in the context of the future of Conference USA basketball. As you know, the league loses its turnstile gorilla, Memphis, which is averaging 16,031 thus far this season. (The Tigers will lead the not-so-brave new Big East, as well.)
Texas-El Paso is a solid-but-distant second at 8,336 and Marshall - surprise! - is third at 5,408. From experience, three other schools could be ahead of the Herd in many seasons: Alabama-Birmingham, Tulsa and Central Florida. All three are down a bit, sitting below 4,500.
(Bear in mind, all figures are likely to go up with conference play. That includes Marshall, which has four attractive Saturday dates remaining.)
C-USA loses Memphis, Houston (3,808), Southern Methodist (3,211) and UCF (4,424) after this season. After 2013-14, the league is due to lose East Carolina (4,414) and Tulane (1,800 and likely fudged).
The league will gain, from best to worst, Old Dominion (6,675 in a brutally down season), Charlotte (5,603), North Texas (3,439), Louisiana Tech (2,385), Texas-San Antonio (1,051) and Florida International (834) next year. The year after (or maybe earlier) will be Middle Tennessee (5,004) and Florida Atlantic (1,209).
Some good, some middling, some really ugly. One look through those eight schools, and you'll see three good new basketball rivals for Marshall.

I just got the new Crispi summit gtx on the first of June. Right out the box with my green super feet, I hiked 8 miles with about a 2000 ft. ascent and a 40lb pack. Very comfortable, lightweight (1.4 lb. per boot), no hot spots, no blisters, and good ankle support which is important if you do a lot of backcountry hunting with a heavy pack. I already have about 30 miles in them and have no regrets with the purchase. Can't wait to hunt in them during the August mule deer hunt.
I have had the Kenetrek Mt Extreme 400 for a year plus now and I like them so much I want to get the KENETREK HARDSCRABBLE HIKERs to go with them for the early season hunts.
Check us out!! www.antlerhousemedia.com
I have a pair of Danner Jackals that I used last year during the early season and I love them. Also I just picked up a pair of Vasque
Breeze and have been pretty happy with them so far. Can't wait to wear them out scouting next month.
Danner makes or use to make a sneaker/boot that looked interesting.
I've seen 1 hunter wearing sneakers and I think I read about some pro who also wore sneakers, combine them with liner socks/wool socks, your feet may be wet, but should remain warm... at least during an archery hunt may be a nice option.
I tried quiet a few boots before I went with UA Speed Freaks for my early season. Also, bought them through cabelas cuz they have a one year warranty some that sold the speed freaks only offered 30 days.

Lots of good, high quality boots out there. Zamberlan is worth every penny, and I save them only for archery hunting the west. too expensive for me to wear all the time.
I am in the same boat. I believe that I will just go ahead and try to wear my merrel sneakers seeing how money is tight. I have been searching around for some good ones but all that I can find thats worth it is way out of my price range because I need something with custom foot beds like lathrop and sons. A little case of the curly toe sure puts a damper on things price wise and total distance covered wich really gets me worried that I will not meet my full potential this year. Sucks cause I already missed a few years in the service and wanna get back to it.

Districts will be held at Westwind on Monday, Oct. 1 Scoring 476 as a team, Perkins County finished in the fifth place spot. Four team members had nine-hole scores in the 50s, the most so far this year. "This meet was super-positive for us," said Head Coach Troy Kemling. "I was impressed with all those scores in the 50s." Kimball took first place with a team score of 425. They were followed by Ogallala JV 439, Dundy County-Stratton 467 and Hershey 472. Creek Valley finished in sixth place with a score of 488. Prior to the meet, the team focused on consistency from one hole to the next. "If you bogie a hole, your goal should be to bogie the next and to continue stringing a few good scores together," Kemling said. "These girls are improving enough to do that." "We know that occasionally a bad hole will show up, but we need to expand the number of good holes," he added. "I saw several good holes in a row, I was pleased with that."Perkins County Results1.

U.S. Senator Ted Kennedy has reposed at the age of 77 after a long battle with brain cancer. It may be months before his seat is filled.
As blogger Michelle Malkin requests of conservatives: please show some RESTRAINT at this moment. As tempting as it may be, show a little humanity and grace, and please allow the Kennedys and the nation some time to grieve.
Perhaps take a moment to grieve yourself. If Ted Kennedy was not the kind of man you think he should have been, then his passing should be all the more cause for solemnity rather than barely-disguised glee and sarcastic jokes.
As for any Democrats reading this and nodding vehemently at my admonition- please remember not to commit the same impropriety by politicizing Ted Kennedy's death and using it as a weapon to ram your health care reform through Congress.
Can we all just make a truce and not politicize this (while criticizing the "other side" for politicizing it in their way)?

Ted Kennedy Dies: Please Show Some Restraint

Well said. While I may not admire the causes he stood for, I do admire that he stood firm for his causes, health care being one of them for over 30 years. He didn't see which way the wind was blowing and then choose his stance on an issue. Others could learn from this.

Thanks, Dave. I probably even have less than that to say about him in the positive vein, but that doesn't mean I should be happy about this or choose this very moment to make glib remarks.

Russian olive and tamarisk trees are a growing problem for Scott Balcomb, "pun intended," the Glenwood Springs lawyer said.
The invasive trees are being removed on land he and others own outside Silt, and is part of a Garfield County project to clear the problem trees from 500 acres between Silt and Rifle.
County Vegetation Manager Steve Anthony said the project includes the Wheeler State Wildlife Area, private property owned by a partnership that includes Balcomb, and a Colorado Department of Transportation parcel.
"We wanted to tie all the parcels together so we could address the tamarisk along the entire corridor," Anthony said.
The land is located adjacent to I-70 and the Colorado River between Silt and Rifle.
Previous tamarisk removal projects were done along Mamm Creek and at the Rifle rest area, Anthony said.
Balcomb said Russian olives are the target on his property, but thinks he will have to deal with tamarisk in the near future.
"If you don't get on top of this, they'll crowd out everything else," Balcomb said. "You won't have a place for birds, since they don't like the tamarisk trees, and you just can't grow anything."
Anthony said the project included work by the State Wildland Inmate Fire Team from the Rifle Minimum Security Correctional Center, mechanical removal using equipment such as a hydroaxe, and a crew from the Western Colorado Conservation Corps from Grand Junction.
A Western Colorado Conservation Corps crew is working 11 weeks on the project, Anthony said, through November.
The six-person crew - all in their 20s - work four days a week, said crew leader Eddica Tuttle.
"We go through some in-house training on how to safely use saws," Tuttle said. "But these trees are really a mess, so we're trying to cut in very thick stands. They really weave in and out of each other."
Crews start work at 7 a.m. and stop around 5 p.m., Tuttle said.
"It's challenging and tough work," she added.
Removal is done with a "cut-stump-treatment" process, Anthony said.
Work is done in the spring and fall, when the Colorado River is lower, so tamarisk and Russian olive trees on several islands can be removed, Anthony noted.
Balcomb said the control methods for the invasive trees are expensive, but the county program is very helpful.
The county commissioners have contributed $55,000 a year for the work in the last five years, Anthony said, with landowners paying the cost of herbicide treatment of the tree stumps, to prevent sprouts.
"Somewhere around ten percent of the tree stumps will send out sprouts," he added.
The Middle Colorado River Watershed Partnership has helped obtain state funds for the project, said coordinator Laurie Rink. The state money comes from the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment's supplemental environmental project fund, Rink explained. That money is paid by companies fined for violating environmental regulations, she said.
Landowners are responsible for chemical, labor and other costs, if those methods are used on their property, Anthony noted.
The county provides labor to cut and treat the stumps, while landowners are responsible to deal with any slash piles and follow-up treatment, Anthony added.
Tamarisk beetles, a natural pest of the trees, have been used along Mamm Creek and at the Rifle Creek Golf Course, Anthony said.
"I'd say we released about 20,000 of the beetles in the last two years," he said. "We hope they'll help prevent the tree stumps from sprouting."
The tamarisk leaf beetle, from the same area of the world as the tamarisk plant, feeds almost exclusively on tamarisk. In three to five years, the beetles kill the tamarisk plant.
Tamarisk consume around 30 gallons of water a day, a rate similar to cottonwoods and willows, he said.
"But the density is much less with the native trees compared to the tamarisk," Anthony added.
Tamarisk trees also prevent cottonwood saplings from growing to maturity, Anthony added, since they shade the saplings from the sunshine needed for growth.
"So most of the cottonwoods are old growth trees," he said. "When the wind blows them down, they don't get replaced."
Cottonwood trees provide nesting homes to blue herons, eagles and other raptors, Anthony said.
Previously, Balcomb used a track hoe to remove Russian olives and hopes the tamarisk beetles will help get the growth of those invasive trees under control.
"Russian olives are pretty good for the birds, they like the olives," Balcomb said. "So it's too bad you can't keep a few. But that isn't the case. I remember planting these with my dad."

Hi everyone. My apologies if I'm posting this in the wrong forum.
I'm fairly new to zimbra, so please bare with me. I'm try to rebrand an existing zimbra installation, and I'd like to be able to change the main user URL from "http://mail.ourserver.com/zimbra/mail" to "http://mail.ourserver.com/somethingelse/mail". I was hoping that the folder could be renamed, and a configuration setting be changed, but I'm not sure that it's going to be that easy. Maybe one of the experts knows what to do.
Thanks in advance

Petzl E+Lite
Price: $29.90
4 stars
LESS THAN AN OUNCE IS NOT much. The spoon I eat my cereal with weighs more than the new Petzl e+lite, the latest addition to the continuing arc of LED technology. The light and its waterproof case weigh a whopping .9 ounces.
I've heard a headlamp called a "pocketful of courage," enabling you to try longer or more difficult routes. The e+lite fits awfully easily into the pocket where I stash a topo page.
The light is easy to set up (inserting batteries), its good engineering evident in the rubber O-ring gasket that protects the battery pack from getting wet, or the small fin on the cord lock that opens the battery case, or the attachment clip for the bill of a ball cap.
The light includes three LEDs and can chuck a beam up to 19 meters for a maximum 35 hours, or, on economy setting, 11 meters for 45. It also contains an emergency "Come get me!" strobe, in both red and white, as well as a solid red LED for night vision.
This light is not designed for use as a regular headlamp, but storage for emergency use. While the four-night burn time ought to let you get out of whatever pickle you've gotten yourself into, it is less than the company's other models' max burn times of 120 and 170 hours, and throws a shorter beam. It is as reliable as they, however, operational from -22 to 140 degrees F.
The notion that you are not necessarily expected to use this headlamp, but to have it "in case," may lead some to question its function. It appeals for the same reason that I own a helmet that is light, rather than the strongest make—I am just more likely to take it along, say, in Zion, or maybe up on Cannon—instead of leaving it on the ground, like I've done so many times, then wishing I had it.
The light is guaranteed for up to a decade.

WASHINGTON (WUSA) -- After today nobody can dispute the District of Columbia is on a roll. There is commercial development in every quandrant and 1,100 new residents every month.
On Tuesday, city leaders revealed the District's fund balance or savings account had climbed to an impressive $1.5 billion dollars.
"None has been able to come back as well and as fast as this city has, said Natwar Gandhi, the Chief Financial Officer.
The city ended the last fiscal year with a $417 million surplus, which is included in the $1.5 billion dollar savings.
"We need to keep the dollars we have now in the surplus," Mayor Gray said.
Mayor Gray and Council Chairman Phil Mendelson agree the present savings won't be spent on social services or returned to taxpayers, not this year.
But pressure is already mounting to spend at least part of the stash on much needed social services including affordable housing assistance.
DC Councilman Jim Graham says 25 percent of the residents in his ward one live below the poverty line. "Do we have to save every dime (of the surplus)," he said.
Ward two Councilman Jack Evans, Chairman of the Finance and revenue Committee says while he favors banking the entire $1.5 billion, he wants pay raises for police and firefighters. He also wants to rollback early some temporary sales taxes and taxes on out of state bonds.
The DC Council will hold a hearing next week on the surplus. It appears the votes are there to bank the entire amount with even more new money on the way, from sales tax revenue from the National's playoff series and the Presidential Inaugural events.

Bly Tunnel valve at Eagle Lake is shut and locked
For years, water has flowed from the Bly Tunnel at Eagle Lake, feeding Willow Creek. There is and has not been a fishery at Willow Creek. The water that flowed down primarily was used only by private farmers along the creek's travels.
There is no natural outlet for water to flow out of Eagle Lake; no dam, manmade or otherwise.
The Bly Tunnel is a piping and valve system that was installed many years ago to remove water from the lake strictly for the private use of downstream ranchers, people who don't much care what the short- or long-term effects to the lake would be, so long as they had water for their cattle and other farming purposes.
Nobody would doubt the fact that much of the eastern side of the Sierra has been greatly affected by drought conditions. Sure, the Eagle Lake region gets snow, but it has been mostly less snow than what natural evaporation, coupled with water flowing from the Bly Creek Tunnel, has been.
Bottom line, for years the lake has lost more water than it has taken in, which means the water level is continually dropping.
Each year, it seems like it's a little further walk from the Spaulding Tract boat parking lot to your boat at one of the docks. One launching ramp quickly became unusable due to the dropping water level and two years ago, the one useable launch ramp area had to be dredged out.
There is a group of concerned citizens known as the Eagle Lake Guardians, and a primary mover is George Walker, co-owner with her husband at the Eagle Lake General Store at Spaulding Tract.
A petition was made to close the valve a few years ago. The surrounding territory, along with control of the Bly Tunnel, is controlled by the Bureau of Reclamation, which did a study and hearing process and determined Bly Tunnel was more needed than not and decided to do nothing.
The Eagle Lake Guardians didn't lie down and accept that. They went to their legislative leader. The Water Resources Control Board studied the situation of water removal closely and, along with the support of the California Department of Fish and Game, determined the downstream requirements of ranchers was not a right and not, therefore, justified, and further water removal was a major detriment to the lake.
It seemed to take forever, but the WRCB finally prepared a letter to the Lassen County BLM directing it to permanently close the Bly Tunnel valve.
Everybody expected the BLM to fight the issue, but to everybody's surprise, under direct observation of the CDFG, the valve at the Bly Tunnel recently was closed and padlocked.
Will this permanently ensure no more water flowing down Willow Creek? Quite honestly, no.
First of all, the water level is a number of feet below the mouth of the Bly Tunnel, where water flowed through the pipe. The BLM's study determined water wasn't flowing through the pipe to enter Willow Creek but rather was going through earthen cracks, enough water in ground seepage to keep water flowing in the creek.
So, closing the valve might only be one step. If there is that much ground seepage, as was determined by the BLM, to keep Willow Creek flowing, then the Eagle Lake Guardians must then take whatever action to stop that seepage.
Hopefully, sooner rather than later, the lake level will again start rising instead of being in a forever dropping mode. While Eagle Lake is a trophy trout fishing lake, a rising water level will help those trout and the overall health of the lake.
In the meantime, with the Bly Tunnel battle won, the Guardians next are going to tackle Pine Creek, which enters the lake at Spaulding Tract. Pine Creek is one of a few streams that enter Eagle Lake and the only stream where the lake's rainbow trout population has to go to spawn. Thousands of trout are captured and artificially spawned each year because the conditions in Pine Creek aren't conducive to good spawning.
Current fishing
American River: You fish the river and you're not getting even a tap. Think there are no fish in the river? Think again. The hatchery is loaded with steelhead, and they had to pass your way to get there. The first and foremost problem is that we've not had much rain so the river is low and slow — and clear. Steelhead are wary. Even the sound of your feet grating along the rocks can spook them. Use a leader that looks like a rope to them and they'll let it go by. Anybody who goes to the American River and finds their rod bent with a fresh-run steelie is going with light gear. Try it and you, too, might hook up.
Boca Reservoir: The lake isn't in good condition. The level currently is under 20 percent. Coupled with the lack of deep snow, it doesn't bode well for this summer. In the meantime, there is enough ice on the lake to provide anglers the opportunity to bore a hole at, near and around the deeper end — the dam — and catch rainbows. Boca has always been one of my favorite ice fishing lakes. Pack everything you need on a cheapie plastic sled and make one trip out. The best bite will be early. Lower your bait to the bottom and crank it up a couple of turns. Eggs, crawlers and even shrimp are getting bit, and limits are common if you hit the right spot.
Folsom Lake: OK, so it's not heavily attended by boaters, but there's a fairly decent King salmon bite along with a few rainbows for those trolling. I do a seminar now and then about trolling for trout, and one thing I can't stress enough is that a counter reel is worth its weight in gold. If the trout are shallow, you need to let out perhaps 90-plus feet of line. As your boat passes over them, they become spooked. By the time your lure or bait gets to them, they've settled down. And sometimes, you'll get regularly bit 90 feet behind the boat but not at any other spot. A counter reel means you can consistently hit the same spot over and over.
In the meantime, those trolling the main body, the old river channel, are scoring on salmon and rainbows. The salmon range from 15 feet to 40 feet down, and you'll do best with a downrigger. A dodger trailed by a two-inch orange grub or threaded night crawler should get you bit. For the trout, top-line but let out a good 90-100 feet of line. A small dodger followed by a crawler should do it.

It seems everyone in Hollywood has more than one marriage under their belt these days. Here's a look at some of the most surprising "starter marriages."
Jennifer Garner and Scott Foley
Before she was Mrs. Ben Affleck, Garner was an up-and-coming star on the hit TV show "Alias," and married to actor Scott Foley. The couple split in 2003.
Lisa Marie Presley and Michael Jackson
Before the King of Pop married Debbie Rowe, or had a kid named Blanket, he was briefly married to "The King's" daughter.
Tom Cruise and Mimi Rogers
Before Nicole, before Katie, there was Mimi.
Robert DeNiro and Diahnne Abbott
The actor and actress were married for more than a decade and had a son together.
Charlie Sheen and Donna Peele
Seen here after their 1995 nuptials, the couple called it quits less than a year later because Sheen reportedly said he was "suffocating and had to come up for air."
Michael Douglas and Diandra Luker
Douglas, who was 32 at the time, married 19-year-old Luker in 1977. Although they separated in the mid-1990s, they weren't officially divorced until 2000.
Kim Basinger and Alec Baldwin
The actors were married in 1993 and had a daughter together, Ireland Baldwin.
Harrison Ford and Mary Marquardt
The couple was married from 1964 to 1979.

Anybody who isn't upper class is a slave...
If we're getting metaphorical you could say that the upper classes are slaves to money... but then practically everyone is, and those that aren't are considered outcasts from society. I think there are very few cultures left where a monetary system hasn't taken over and bartering is still the main form of exchange.
Using bartering instead of money is probably making you more of a slave, not less. Not only are those cultures slave to material things, they are slaves in that they have to manually produce their own "currency". I personally prefer being slave to money...
In a sense we are slave to life. And that makes us slave to God lol (unless your'e atheist). Naw, more seriously most of us are our own slaves, driven by our own mind.
No... Bartering makes much more sense in my opinion, and besides, we are far more enslaved to our materials now than we were previously. Trading goods for goods makes more sense than trading a piece of paper for goods imo.
Yes you do have a point there. But don't forget that the real slavery kicks in when you have to produce your bartering goods. You can't just go to work and get paid by meat, potatoes and other vegetables and whatever. You have to be a farmer growing most things you'll need. that's slavery IMO.
I'd rather work to support myself than work for someone who barely supports me... Working for yourself to live is not slavery, working for someone else in order to live is...
But you're still a slave, just that you don't know it. A slave to your wife, and to life in general...

A conman who duped Justin Bieber fans out of thousands of dollars by falsely offering them the chance to meet the singer has been jailed for a year.
A number of the pop star's loyal devotees fell victim to a scam perpetrated by Andy Ross, 26, from Motherwell, Scotland, who sold non-existent tickets to Bieber's shows in London earlier this year, as well as phoney meet-and-greet packages.
Ross pleaded guilty to four charges of fraud relating to his Bieber con, admitting he scammed fans out of more than $4,500, and he was sentenced to 12 months behind bars, according to Britain's Daily Record newspaper.

Rusty1. Sorry, but no. Shepherd University's George Tyler Moore Center has done a new count of West Virginia's soldiers, and West Virginia sent about the same number of men to the Confederacy as to the Union, about 20,000 to each.

West Virginia sent 35 thousand troops to the Union army and about 10 thousand to Confederacy.

It must be PC chic to denigrate the founding of WV as a free state breakaway from Virginia. For sure there were many mountaineers who did serve in the confederacy because their family history was toward VA. I have been fascinated by WV history and how that breakaway happened, and the abolitionists (including John Brown) who made a stand against slavery. The letters home of WV soldiers are pretty clear about their views. As a ballot issue slavery got few votes for. Perhaps because we were mostly poor immigrants/laborers/miners slavery had no appeal to us. WV was also Lee's first major defeat. If the population were all pro slave/pro CSA they would have had more support when they moved troops into WV. I know, we did not vote for Obama so we must be all pro slavery. But we rejected slavery and the CSA. We were too poor to be Dixie Democrats either and it did not take Fed troops to desegregate WV schools.

It might interest you and your readers to know that there is no monument at Gettysburg to the largest number of "Sons of the Mountains", the West Virginians in Confederate service, about 4 times the number in Union service. The 7th WV Infantry was about 1/3 non-WVian, the 1st WV Infantry was about 2/3 non-WVian, the 2 companies of the 3rd WV Cavalry were mostly WVian, and Artillery Co. B was from Ohio. The greatest number of West Virginians were Confederate, and they are buried in mass graves with no monument or recognition from our state, which itself was at least half Confederate. The ghosts of Wheeling continue to distort the history of the state.

First off I want to say I am not trying to directly call anyone out or do any type of name calling. Please if you are going to reply with a flame or troll post, just don't bother. I would love to encourage an open dialog concerning the Patriots weaknesses and what could be the cause. I also will try to answer my own questions but I would like to see what some of the other intelligent posters think. Personally I think there have been quite a few sub-par areas in big games but the current state of the board has turned into this war between Brady is at fault or the defense is at fault and when anyone brings something else up it just get buried.
So my concept is just to have a conversation on what are the Patriots flaws against elite defenses?
1. What is wrong with the game planning and why can't they seem to adjust during a game like they use to? Example McD getting too cute at times and call overly complex plays such at a end around at the worst time when a draw would do….. ect. I tend to believe that the coaches know what they are doing and the shotgun use and the quick snap play style is by choice, therefore they are doing what gives the team the best chance to win and cover weaknesses. Why else would this go on for years, in almost every game? Think about how many game planning sessions the coaches went through to come up with these play concepts. Does anyone really think they say "oh let's just give Brady the offense and see what happens? " So if we start with the premise that everything has been by design, how can the coaches improve the team performance? Where have they gone wrong with the game planning and what would you love to see more of?
2. Why does the offensive line seem to fold or have trouble in the biggest games? Although interceptions and safeties are on a QB, the line has to do better. I never seen a four man rush gives a QB so little time and constantly push/ collapse the pocket when we have 5 to 6 blockers. Some will look at the stats and say this is one of the best lines in the NFL, but sometimes I just don't see it. If Brady doesn't get most plays out in 2.5 sec or less seconds these guy would be more toward the middle of the pack in hurries and sacks.
3. When the defense is in max coverage why can't the RBs run better? Although, they have occasional 4 to 5 yards rushes, over 50 percent are less than 2 yards. The Pats are not seeing 8 men in the box so what gives? Are the holes not there? Do the RBs not give the play enough time to develop and hit the holes too early? Do they not look for the cut back lane, or is the line not great at opening holes? Is the play calling too predictable in that the LB and safety are able to fill in too fast? Do they have backs that can break first contact? How many times on third down with 3 or less do they pass because there is no rusher that can get those hard yardage when the D know it is coming. I am not just talking goal line situations; I mean 3rd and 2 on our 35 when it is get the yards or punt.
4. With all this said….. I am not excusing the QB and the WRs. Does Brady take too much on his shoulders that he has been forcing it when he should be throwing it away? Has he gotten too reliant on the systematic and timing plays that he has lost some of the improvising and/or finding that third or fourth read? Both the QB and the WRS need to make game changing clutch plays and that has not been happening. Key drops and miscue have hurt the team in a battle of inches. How can they improve this?
Are there any major areas I missed? I could say a lot more but this is a good start.

Four months ago, a group of three Spanish amateur and dedicated double stars observers created a magazine related to this subject.
Today, May 1st, we're pleased to announce that the 2nd issue of the magazine "El Observador de Estrellas Dobles" (OED) has been launched.
We hope that this magazine has the same success as the previous issue.
Although it's a magazine in Spanish language, all the articles have an abstract in English.
This issue, even more international than the first, includes articles by great amateur observers as Martine Castets, Bernard Tregon and Florent Losse (France), Francisco Rica, Jose Luis Comellas, Rafael Benavides, Paco Bellido and others from Spain and Carlos Krawczenko from Argentina.
Our magazine accepts studies and observations from amateur observers all around the world. We translate articles from any language into Spanish.
I remind you than the measures published in OED will be accepted by WDS.

IRS Not Truthful Regarding Scandal
May 13, 2013
Last week, Internal Revenue Service officials insisted high-ranking leaders at the agency were not aware some conservative political groups were being harassed over tax matters....
Heads need to roll, all right. The heads of right-wing haters and liars who set up these so-called non-political organizations, then proceed to run blatantly political ads. They are about as non-political as the Nazi Party, which they resemble in a variety of ways.
Bottom line: conservative reactionaries, forever on the wrong side of history, are still enraged that Obama has beaten them, not once, but twice. This band of cuckoos, cranks, crackpots and crybabies are as outdated as their old John Birch Society and their "ideas" are as dead as their heroes, John Wayne and Ronald Reagan. (True patriots never have to use the word.)
The message from the feds is clear: grow up and play by the rules or you will be scrutinized. Arrogance and deceit will always have a price.

"Do officials in President Barack Obama's administration believe Americans are stupid? Apparently so. Why would only conservative groups be harassed by the IRS if there were no "partisan reasons" involved?"
SERIOUSLY? Has to be quote of the year.
After calling Obama a Muslim, Communist, Socialist, Kenyan...I wouldnt say those who said that are too bright!!!!! So yes, there is a very large group of right wing haters who are STUPID!
And I wouldnt say they were harassed. Lets take a really good look and see if Tea Party groups actually qualify as 'tax exempt'.....sounds to me like the IRS was doing their job.

1956 Ford F-100 - Full NoiseWritten by on January 1, 2005 Contributors: Wes Alllison Tim Allen's '56 F-100 Is Scaled Down In Size, Pumped Up With Hemi Power, And Hyping His New Movie In A Sideways Kinda Way.
What car guy doesn't know Tim Allen? The standup comedian and star of TV's Home Improvement (and let's not forget his best role, Buzz Lightyear in the Toy Story movies) has built a reputation as a car guy. He has owned a lot of hot rods, and even built two of them on his TV show. He's road raced competitively with Steve Saleen, and his show had as much to do with cars as it did, well, home improvement.
It seems Tim is also a frequent reader of HOT ROD, and his attention was piqued by a bit we did in the back of the book in the Aug. '04 issue. We wrote that our demographics showed that HOT ROD was seen by more male readers than Popular Science, Road & Track, Men's Fitness, GQ, Stuff, Vibe, FHM, and Sporting News. As someone whose paycheck depends on putting butts in theater seats, Tim took this information to his studio and basically sold a full-color ad page in HOT ROD promoting his new movie, Christmas With the Kranks. Tim also likes the magazine enough to want to be involved, so to coincide with the ad and the movie's release, he talked us into featuring the latest toy added to his automotive stable, this fully custom '56 Ford F-100 pickup.
The truck was actually purchased more or less as a goof, as it goes against some of Tim's self-imposed restrictions on his hot rods, but he still loves it. Tim and a few of his buddies were checking out the cars at a Barrett-Jackson auction in Scottsdale, Arizona, when Full Noise, this '56 Ford truck, came across the block. It was a big-tire machine, and according to Tim, "I never liked tubbed stuff, but I'm starting to dig it now." Nevertheless, he commented to his buddies that the asking price was so low, based on the incredible craftsmanship of the truck, that "For that price, I'd buy it." Peer pressure got the better of him, and the gavel was dropped on Tim's $78,300 knee-jerk bid.
Originally built and owned by Northern California fabricator Ron Ebert, there's not much on this truck that is as-delivered in a '56. Ebert fabricated the chassis from 2x4 tubing, Z'ing the front 8 inches and altering the wheelbase by moving both axles forward. Ebert also built the suspension, using a torsion-bar setup in the front and a four-link in back. The body has also been heavily modified. Ebert started with a smoking deal, buying an older restoration for $2,500. He says, "I sold all the unwanted parts for $3,200, made $700, and had a nice, straight body to start with." It didn't stay that way for long, as Ebert describes, "Every panel of the all-steel body has been handformed or modified in some way, giving it the illusion of a scaled-down F-100." Again, there's the craftsmanship. Everywhere you look on this truck, from the wheels to the engine, there are custom-machined fasteners, brackets, panels, and other stuff.
Certainly, the truck's name came about the first time the blown Hemi was fired. Though it runs on pump gas, it barks loud through the 2 1/4-inch primary headers and twin 6-inch outlets exiting right in front of the rear tires. A Littlefield 14-71 with an old-school Enderle mechanical fuel-injection system gives it that blown Hemi surge, and while it might not be the most driveable truck on the planet, it's not a trailer queen, either. Tim hasn't had a chance to really get out and drive it, but he has played with it a little bit, saying, "I did holeshots in front of the shop for half a day and set off every car alarm on the block." That limited amount of seat time is not Tim's normal level of activity with a car, however. "If I can't drive it, I don't buy it, but I stepped over that rule this time."
Allen's fascination with hot rods centers mostly on street rods, but he's also hot for '60s customs and '50s trucks, like Full Noise, and he has a bit of a weird streak as well. "I want to do a custom Peterbilt, but everyone told me I wouldn't want to drive it. But I've driven everything and I think it would be cool. When everyone talked me out of it, I decided to re-body a '44 military Jeep as a hot rod." His favorite ride in the stable at the moment? The '46 Ford that you may have seen built on Home Improvement. He's also got a flat-black Hemi Road Runner with a stick that gets attention (more attention than he'd like, actually), and of course, the Nickel Rod, his nickel-plated '32 Ford. "That car has a Gurney Weslake engine and a multidisc race clutch in it. We took it on a 12-hour rod run and it had never had any miles put on it before that."
In addition to his movie and TV career, plus his near full-time car hobby, Tim also has a business arrangement with Wheel to Wheel in Detroit, creating ideas under the Tim Allen Design umbrella. Together, they have built a few project cars, most notably a hot rod, 400hp Cadillac that predates the CTS-V. They were looking at creating a package for GM, in the same vein that AMG is to Mercedes, but nothing's really come of it yet. Tim Allen Design is still more of a conceptual undertaking than an actual car-building deal, but if demand is there, who knows? Tim says, "It's not a moneymaker for me. I just love American cars."
About that, we asked him the chances of making, finally, a good car movie. With his Hollywood star power, certainly this car guy can see to it that someone actually makes a great car movie, right? Tim said he tried for a long time to get a remake of Thunder Road financed, but the studios wouldn't bite, thinking he was wrong for the part. "No one sees me as a Robert Mitchum kind of guy," he explained.
Near as we can tell, Christmas With the Kranks has nothing at all to do with cars, and Tim griped that they didn't even let him add wheels to his on-screen commuter, as he normally does. But it has a few things going for it. One, it's from a John Grisham book that doesn't involve lawyers. Two, it has Jamie Lee Curtis, Dan Ackroyd, and Cheech Marin. And three, the star is a car guy who longed to have one of his hot rods featured in HOT ROD. As for Full Noise, we're hoping Tim shakes up the neighbors every now and then. The truck is too nice to sit under a cover.
Quick Inspection: '56 Ford F-100 Pickup
Tim Allen, Los Angeles, CA
Engine: Ron Ebert went for the jugular by building a blown and injected 426 Hemi. Based on an original block and heads, the Rex Hutchinson-machined and Jeff Kral-built engine runs a Kellogg crank, JE 9.0:1 pistons, and a Comp Cams hydraulic cam. Breathing comes via a Littlefield 14-71 blower with an Enderle Buzzard mechanical injection system with a Top Fuel barrel valve and a separate priming system built into the injector that allows the engine to be started from inside the truck (as opposed to squirting fuel into the butterflies from a bottle). Jeff Kral Racing built the 2 1/2-inch headers that dump into dual Flowmaster mufflers, which then feed into huge 6-inch exhaust pipes.
Power: It's never been dyno'd, so power is your best guess.
Transmission: 727 automatic from JR Transmission with a shift kit and a 9-inch, 5,000-stall Mancini converter.
Rearend: Ebert built the 54-inch-wide Currie 9-inch himself with 4.10 gears and 31-spline axles.
Frame: It's all custom and all built by Ebert. The 2x4 tube chassis has an altered wheelbase that moved the front and rear axles forward from their stock locations.Suspension: The front suspension is a torsion-bar setup with a custom-built (by Ebert) Mopar-based rear-steer rack-and-pinion steering system. The upper control arms were also fabricated by Ebert. In back is a four-link with Koni coilovers.
Brakes: Mopar 11-inch front disc brakes with ball-milled rotors, and Wilwood rear discs. The master cylinder is a Ford 1 1/16-inch unit with a power booster and a custom vacuum pump with a polished tank.
Wheels: They're one-off Master Machine billet wheels, 15x15 in the back and 15x5 in front.
Tires: Mickey Thompson 29x18.50-15s in the rear and BFGs up front.
Body: Pretty much every panel on the truck's body has been heavily modified to give it the illusion of a downsized F-100. The stock running boards were tossed in favor of rockers below the doors, the top has been chopped 3 1/2 inches and the front eyebrows were removed, yet the glass looks stock. A new front pan was built, the hood was wedged, and the center opened up. In back, a special "shorty" bed was built with hidden latches and giant wheeltubs that surround a 16-gallon fuel cell. An air-operated steel bedcover has two sets of 13-inch-wide steel louvers.
Paint: George Szuh at American Eagle Body (Citrus Heights, CA) sprayed the PPG Pearl Silver paint.
Interior: The truck's cabin features a smoothed dash with hidden switches and a vintage gauge cluster centered in the dash and holding VDO gauges. Dark blue Mercedes leather covers the bench seat and door panels, while deep-pile dark blue carpet covers the floor.

Ebert fabricated the rear suspension with a four-link and coilovers supporting a 4.10-geared Currie 9-inch. Note the cool fabricated fins.We thank former HRM editor Pat Ganahl for bringing his daily driver '56 to Tim Allen's shop for our photo shoot. The yellow truck is dropped several inches from stock and the louvres in the front are not stock, but other than that, it gives real perspective on the extent of the bodywork done by Ebert to the Full Noise truck. It looks almost 7/8-scale.While the interior is new-car smelly and just as clean, the better part is the door mechanisms. The hatches open and close like a Mercedes.All the fenders were cut and welded into more pleasing shapes. The fronts were sliced into 22 pieces each.

Punk'd Recap: A Flop Of A Finale
June 07, 2012 07:46 PM by Megan Thompson
The season finale of Punk'd aired tonight on MTV. Guest host, Mac Miller, pulled some pranks on three unsuspecting stars. Let's just say, Neil Patrick Harris got a bear of a surprise. Keep reading to find out what you missed on the season finale of Punk'd.
Mac Miller wants to punk his rapper friend, Wiz Khalifa. Mac informs the punk'd cast that Darrelle likes to get "medicated" by marijuana. The plan is to drive Wiz to an ATM, which is next to a weed clinic. The clinic is robbed and the cops believe that Wiz is the robber. As the cops start asking Wiz questions, he makes fun of them. "I figured this out, you almost got me though," Wiz tells the cops. Busted! Yes, another punk'd foiled.
It's day two and the day's target is Neil Patrick Harris. Neil and his husband go out for a hike, but when they return a bear will be in his car. Quite surprisingly, Neil Patrick Harris is very calm when he finds a bear destroying his car. "I guess we aren't eating the sandwiches," Neil tells the group. The more the group tries to push NPH, the more he mocks the situation. Does he suspect something? Yep! He tried to fake it, but he couldn't help but laugh at them. Did they really think they pull one over on Doogie Howser? Zero for two tonight!
Darrelle Revis is Mac's last chance to punk someone tonight. The point is to ruin Darrelle's day with a super fan driver, who is going to annoy him as much as possible. Then to amp up the situation, the driver gets into an accident by driving into a mud pit. When the driver blames Darrell for the accident, Darrelle starts to get upset. Then the super fan whips out his cellphone to record Darrelle getting so upset. When Darrelle finally walks away, the crew comes out to surprise him. "You got me on that one," Darrelle tells Mac. Was this an exciting prank? Nope, but at least the crew finally pulled off one successful prank for the finale show.
Below are the clips from tonight's episode:

|MQA workshops for 4-H and FFA scheduled

Public confidence in meat products is extremely important to the success of the livestock industry. Youth livestock projects play an important role in building or losing the trust of consumers. It is important that youth livestock exhibitors exceed the standard in producing quality, defect-free livestock for consumers.
In the past, a very small number of exhibitors have given youth livestock shows a bad name by using unethical and unsafe techniques to "win at all cost." As a result, CSU Extension has implemented a strong Meat Quality Assurance Program in Colorado.
Through the MQA workshops, youth learn ethics and good production practices needed to produce a high quality, desirable product for the American consumer.
Phillips County Extension will hold its workshop Thursday, April 2 from 4-7:30 p.m. at its office location in Holyoke.
A MQA workshop must be attended the first two years of taking a livestock project, once at 12 years of age and once at 15 years of age. County Extension offices are notifying those that need to attend this year.
There is the option to test out of the workshop at 12 and 15 years of age, but it is highly recommended to attend a workshop instead. The workshops allow for hands-on learning and experience.
For those who attended last year, the layout is the same. There will be different stations pertaining to the 10 Good Production Practices set up at each location, and participants will have the chance to observe and learn with real supplies and equipment. They will have the opportunity to come at any time during the workshop as long as they are able to participate at each station. Allow one hour at each.
Keep in mind dates and/or times are subject to change, so contact Phillips County Extension Office to confirm or for any questions.
