Javelina, NOT Just a Nuisance Animal!
By Robert S. Steenbeke
The Collared Peccary, better known in The Lone Star State as Javelina, is quite a controversial and interesting critter. Many ranchers and hunters hate them, believing them to be the spreaders of disease and prickly pear cactus, competitors for deer food, smelly and not worth eating. They are sometimes unaffectionately referred to as skunk pigs or ranch rats. Some people actually go so far as to shoot them and leave them lay. But, when the truth be known, javalina are actually beneficial to ranchers and hunters, and they are very much worth eating. Besides, anyone that shoots a javie and leaves it laying is not only doing a disservice to this admirable little animal, but is in violation of state laws for not retrieving a game animal, and for not keeping game meat in an edible condition. Peccary do, however, smell, but this is only because of a small dorsal musk gland, and that is easily taken care of.
So what do you say we learn a little bit more about the javalina?
The name Javelina comes from the word javelin, which is a small sharp spear, and is believed to refer to the very sharp teeth that these creatures have. Taxonomically, the javalina is listed as; Animalia, Chordata, Mammalia, Artiodactyla, Tayassuidae, and the genus is usually recognized as Tayassu, but sometimes Pecari. The specie is tajacu. This all means that the specie is an animal, with a backbone, and a mammal, with a cloven hoof, that is a true cud chewer. There are 14 recognized sub-species of peccary spreading from Northern Argentina, all through Central America and parts of the southwestern United States, principally Arizona, New Mexico and Texas. The sub-specie found in Texas is known as Sonari.
Though javalina resemble small pigs, and many of their habits are similar, they are NOT PIGS. The Peccaries evolved wholly upon the North American continent and then spread south through Central America and parts of South America, while swine evolved upon the European continent. Other differences are many, including a maximum weight of 84 pounds versus over 1000 pounds, average weight of 50 pounds versus 200 pounds, a different number of teats, straight versus curved tusks, 3 toes versus 4 on the hind foot, a dorsal musk gland versus none, small erect ears versus large bent ones, and a vestigial tail versus an obvious one. The javelina having the first listed traits and the pigs having the later traits.
Some persons have claimed that javalina are members of the Rodent family and therefore no more than a big rat. This is absolutely false! They are NOT RATS. Javies are more closely related to the hippopotamus and rhinoceros than they are to any member of Rodentia. The teeth, stomach and tail all clearly differentiate between the two. Perhaps these erroneous claims have arisen out of an attempt to justify the wasteful slaughter perpetuated by some ranchers and hunters. Let me repeat here-
Despite the illegal killing that sometimes occurs here in Old Tejas, javalina populations are generally believed to be stable across much of their United states range. I couldn't find a Texas state-wide javelina population estimate, but the annual legal kill exceeds 20,000 and is holding steady.
Javelina are herd animals, found in groups of 2-20 individuals, with 54 being the record sighting. These herds are usually comprised of close-knit family groups. Herds maintain a territory, which varies in size based upon food and cover availability. They defend the interior of these areas against all other javalina intruders, but other groups are tolerated along the perimeters. Herds will consist of all age classes and both sexes. The sex ratio is typically 1:1, but the dominant male is usually the only male to do any breeding.
The male Javie becomes sexually mature at about 1 year old. The female may mature as early as 8 months old, or as late as 14 months. A normal litter consists of 2 young, but may be 1-6. Gestation is 141-151 days. Young javalina may be born at any time of the year, but the peak of breeding activity in Texas seems to be the winter months. The female will leave the herd for just 1 day to give birth. The babies are able to follow their mom within a couple of hours, and they rejoin the herd soon after. Birth normally comes in a den made from a hollowed log, a rock crevice, or a hole in otherwise super dense brush. Older sisters of the babies often nurse them once the mom and young return to the herd. Weaning occurs at about 6-8 weeks but the young stay at mother's side for up to 3 months. Adult javelina may live to be 15 years or more, and 1 individual in captivity made it to 24 years.
The javelina is omnivorous, meaning it will eat just about anything that doesn't eat it first. This is where it sometimes earns a bad rap; when it happens upon a quail nest full of eggs or an injured fawn, but these things are rare. One thing I have repeatedly watched javelina kill is rattlesnakes ( which should endear them to most ), but about 60% of the javalinas normal diet is nothing but prickly pear cactus. They are true cud chewers, equipped with a three compartment, complex stomach, designed to break down foods high in cellulose content, like cactus, grass, roots, nuts and tubers. So, up to 95% of the diet is normally high cellulose vegetation of one kind or another. Yes, there is some overlap into the preferred browse of deer, but the overlap is small, and for the good that javies do in controlling cactus and other noxious growth, the overlap is a small price to pay. Just 1 goat will eat 4-6 times as much deer browse as a javelina.
As for being a spreader of disease, javalina carry no more diseases than do deer, cows, or feral hogs. In fact, they have far fewer than do the average wild swine. This is probably because javies are natives to the region and have had 5 million years to build immunities to most maladies likely to be around.
Now to the eating of a javalina. Javelina can truly be some mighty fine main courses, IF, you bear these things in mind. First, don't shoot a big old boar. When you buy prime beef, you don't pick out the oldest, biggest bull in the herd. You pick out young, fattened cows. So, be selective when you shoot a javalina for the freezer. Pick one that's obviously a little smaller than the rest. Second, employ a head or neck shot causing little tissue damage to the edible portions of meat. Blood shot meat is not the most flavorful or visually appealing cuts to cook. Third, be very careful to avoid getting hair or musk on the meat. If you get much on there, the meat will smell and taste just like it, nasty! Many people cut the musk gland off before skinning the animal. I think this just spreads musk around even more. Skinning carefully will remove the gland without ever squeezing or puncturing it. Making your cuts from the inside of the skin going outward will lessen the hair deposited on the meat, as well keep your blade sharp for much longer. You will still get some hair on the meat. It can't be helped. Wash any accidentally deposited hair off the meat as soon as possible. And lastly, a good marinade will do wonders for any game meat, javelina included. I like beer, or wine, or buttermilk, or Italian dressing for several hours prior to cooking, but a couple changes of cold, clean water works well also. Once done with the marinade, any recipe for veal will work well with javelina. Tossing a couple of shoulders in a large roasting pot and covering the meat with various cut vegetables and 2 cups of beef broth makes a simple but wonderful dinner. Any leftovers can be quickly and easily made into a satisfying stew or soup.
So how does one find a Javie to shoot? In a nut shell; find the pear! Animals tend to be near their favorite food sources and with a javelina that is unquestionably prickly pear cactus. Peccary don't spread this plant nearly so much as they devour this plant. Nut grass, as well as agarita berries and roots are also readily consumed. Javelina activity patterns are diurnal, being both night and day, but generally crepuscular, occurring near sunrise and sunset. This means you should hunt them hard at daybreak until mid-morning, and again near sunset. I have seen them out at all hours of the day however, and this is especially true if the weather is cool and/or cloudy. Javies may NOT be hunted at night since they are listed as game animals by TX Parks and Wildlife and no game animal may be taken with the aid of an artificial light (with a few specific exceptions like lighted sight pins), nor hunted from 1/2 hour after legal sunset until 1/2 hour before legal sunrise.
Once found, shooting a javelina is not much of a challenge. Their sense of sight is rather poor, and hearing is fair but not great. You must watch their nose though as their sense of smell is quite good. Be sure to stay downwind of them. A bow and arrow would make the hunt more interesting, but go for the heart lung shot instead of head or neck. Do watch for them to jump the string. The reaction time of a Javie is at least as fast as a deer, and they can run up to 21 MPH, seemingly after just one jump. Consequently, it's best not to shoot at any alert animal. If you have the wind on them, they will typically calm back down and return to feeding after a short while, so don't push a bad situation.
Good luck making that harvest number go to 20,000 plus 1, and take care of that meat. It really is a primo start for some carne guisada, Javie parmesan, ad infinitum.

internet meme
/in-tər-net mēm/
an often humorous image, video, piece of text, etc. that is copied (usually with slight variations) and spread rapidly by Internet users.
Stoner Dog
Most often he comes across your eyeballs on a neon-pot leafed, smokey background. He's just about the happiest, most blissed-out dog you can find. He's a member of the Advice Animal tribe, and talks in the flavor your brain smells around 4:20.
Stoner Dog was first seen in 2006-ish, found on random Russian sites, with another dog on a boat. He didn't get spun off as a lone wolf until 2008. The first person to add a pot reference to him was on December 14th, 2009, with the apt notation "totally man." He hit reddit in 2010 (Stoner dog makes me laugh every time) and naturally blew up from there.

Following graduation Brad moved on to Highland Community College where he was a two-year letterman and Defensive Player of the year in 1981. Terry went to Coffeyville Community College where he played for legendary coach, Dick Foster, and alongside future Heisman Trophy winner, Mike Rosier. After a promising freshman year, Terry spent a year coaching as he recovered from a serious knee injury as a sophomore.
The brothers were recruited and ultimately reunited at Baker by Coach Charlie Richard where they became the heart and the soul of an outstanding defense that would be developed around them over the next three years. Brad was named 2nd team all-conference and Outstanding Defensive Lineman in 1982 and in 1983 was selected 1st team all-conference, Outstanding Defensive Lineman, 1st team all-district 10 and honorable mention NAIA All-American.

Bill came to Baker after highly successful years in athletics at both the high school and Junior College levels. He graduated from Chanute High School and then went on to play both football and basketball at Independence Junior College where in football he was named to the all-conference team in 1956. In basketball he was selected to the Eastern Division all-conference team and team captain his sophomore year.
He was recruited to play his final two years of college athletics by Coach Karl Spear at Baker. He got his chance to play in his first game and ended up playing quarterback calling the plays, passing, running, punting and kicking extra points and field goals on offense while he ran back punts and kickoffs on special teams and also played in the defensive secondary. He literally led the Wildcats to records of 6-2-1 in 1957 and 8-1 and an undefeated KCAC championship his senior year. For his efforts he was a unanimous choice all KCAC and was additionally selected to the Methodist College All-American First Team in 1958. In basketball he had a 15 point per game average and was selected to the second team All-KCAC team his senior year. He went out for track in the spring of 1959 and won enough points in competition to meet the letter requirement and thus became the only Baker Athlete that year to win letters in football, basketball and track.
Following graduation he coached and had success at both the high school level at Moran and later Horton and Independence and at the collegiate level as an assistant at Pittsburg State (where he earned an MS degree) and later as head coach at Independence Junior College. In 1973 he entered the real estate business and began his own business in 1978. Throughout his career he was heavily involved in civic activities, on boards and as president of the Optimist Club.

The Food Chain: Charlie Palmer Endorses RN74's Cassoulet
Wherein one chef tells about a dish they recently enjoyed courtesy of another chef, then that chef tells us about a dish they enjoyed from another chef, and so on and so forth.
One of the many pleasures of being a chef is, of course, the eating — and you can be sure that the gurus of gastronomy are, in their off hours, enjoying some of the most delectable dishes around (besides whatever's coming out of their own kitchens). Thus we bring you the Food Chain, wherein one chef tells us about a dish they enjoyed recently courtesy of another chef, and then that second chef tells us about a dish they enjoyed courtesy of yet another chef... and so on and so forth. You get the idea. So let's start spreading the love.
Who: Charlie Palmer, chef-owner of New York's Aureole (and restaurants nationwide)
What: Duck cassoulet
Where: San Francisco's RN74, executive chef Jason Berthold
When: Fourth of July weekend
Why Palmer loved it:
"Cassoulet is usually done with white beans and is kind of a heavy thing. RN74's take on it was unique and interesting, but really kept with a traditional flavor. It was done with barley, shiitake mushrooms, [and] these little tiny, bright-red Thumbelina carrots. I think he uses that Liberty Farm Duck, which is a local Sonoma producer. The duck leg had been slow-cooked, braised, and the duck breast had been roasted. It was a summer day, but it was a cool day. San Francisco, sometimes, you can get that breeze that blows through, and it was a perfect dish, delicious: a nice reduction sauce, really hearty, a lot of flavor. The execution was perfect, which I look for from kitchens. The barley was really nutty. A lot of people overcook barley like mush, like oatmeal. It had texture, the individual grains ... this dish was pretty flawless, served piping hot. I honestly wouldn't have changed it."
Over to you, Berthold:
"I use the term cassoulet loosely, but to me, a cassoulet is done as a paella where it's assembled in a pot and [then] baked. This is done in a more modern style, where those ingredients are assembled upon order and cooked in a pan. That makes it a little lighter than something that's been baked in the oven for a few hours. We're using barley instead of beans, which has an entirely different mouth feel, and because [of that] has a different taste sensation. We have this really beautiful organic Italian barley from a co-op in Italy. It has a really good bite to it and holds its shape without softening up. It makes a good foil for the other ingredients."
See what Jason Berthold had to say about his pick, a Fritto Misto de Pesci from San Francisco's Beretta.

New Orleans Saints free safety Darren Sharper
One of Eli Manning's biggest nemeses appeared to have struck again in the second quarter, but a penalty against the Saints saved him. A roughing-the-passer infraction against Saints middle linebacker Jonathan Vilma nullified a 70-yard interception return for a touchdown by Sharper with 9:13 remaining in the first half. Sharper snared Manning's poorly thrown ball at the Saints' 30 and had clear sailing into the end zone, but officials waved it off. In two previous games against Manning, Sharper had four interceptions and returned two for touchdowns.
"I play the game hard; you don't think about where am I going to hit him? Am I going to hit him too hard, " Vilma said. "Unfortunately, I got the flag. It cost us a touchdown. Actually, it was 14-point swing, because they went on to score a touchdown, and I missed a tackle on their touchdown."
Sharper declined to give his scouting report on Manning, knowing the two teams could hook up again in the playoffs.
"We're still not done with Eli, " Sharper said. "I can't give my secrets away. They have a good team, and they can definitely be in the mix, and hopefully we are too."
Sharper took Vilma's penalty in stride, knowing it cost him six points.
"When I caught it, I looked back while I was running and saw the ref go to his pocket grabbing for his flag, " Sharper said. "That's part of the game."
Saints offensive line
One of the NFL's best-kept secrets clearly won the battle in the trenches, keeping at bay a formidable Giants front four led by pass rush specialist Osi Umenyiora. From left to right, the Saints' offensive line of Jermon Bushrod, Carl Nicks, Jonathan Goodwin, Jahri Evans and Jon Stinchcomb provided plenty of time for quarterback Drew Brees and opened holes for Mike Bell, Pierre Thomas, Reggie Bush and Heath Evans. The Saints' offensive numbers tell the story: 48 points, 369 yards passing, 133 yards rushing, no sacks, no interceptions.
"I fell into the same trap when I was looking at coming here, of just thinking they've probably got some holes, " Saints fullback Heath Evans said. "But after I watched film I saw that this O-line is pretty good.
"They are a bunch of no-name guys, but doggone it can they play football. And do they love to run block. They are very efficient working with Drew. They know Drew and they know what they've got to do for him, and they get it done."
The Saints won the game in the trenches, dictating the action along both front lines.
Defensively, the Saints limited the Giants to 325 yards and made life miserable for Manning, who completed 14 of 31 passes for 178 yards, one touchdown and one interception for a meager 61.0 passer rating.
"We did a great job . . . in pass protection, " Payton said. "That was a significant pass rush we faced, so that was important. And defensively, we came up with (two) turnovers, and those were huge."
Giants right defensive end Osi Umenyiora vs. Saints left tackle Jermon Bushrod
The Times-Picayune's scorecard gives the win to Bushrod, who with the help of left guard Carl Nicks and tight ends made the Giants' pass rush specialist a non-factor.
Umenyiora was credited with three tackles but no quarterback hurries.
"They didn't bring a lot of heavy amount of pressure, maybe in certain situations like third-and-long, " Bushrod said. "It was pretty much stuff that we were ready for. Everything they sent we had seen before. But our success was a result of the play calling and Drew getting the ball out and all of us as a whole getting the job done."
Who would have thought Sunday's clash of two titans would end with backup quarterbacks David Carr and Mark Brunell running the offenses for the Giants and Saints? Certainly not me. Then again, I picked the Saints to lose 26-23.
"We've got a lot of respect for that team. When you look at the numbers they've put up as an organization the last three or four years, we're trying to do that ourselves." -- Payton.

Shopping Cart Software Review
Why is Shopping Cart Software Important?
The top performers in our review are 3dcart, the Gold Award winner; Volusion, the Silver Award winner; and BigCommerce, the Bronze Award winner. Here's more on choosing a system to meet your needs, along with detail on how we arrived at our ranking of 10 systems.
Online stores are a necessity for any retail store to be successful. Studies show that by 2017, over $370 billion in sales will come through online purchases. Creating a shopping cart online is easy with the right tools and software. We have ten solutions that we tested and reviewed and that we recommend because of their ease of setting up, the security measures in place and the quality of the tools and options compared to the price.
What We Tested; What We Found
As part of our testing, we created a simple online store in order to gauge how simple it is to create a shopping cart. Each of the programs came with a setup wizard that walked us through the design and creation process, although some of those that are ranked lower required additional steps to complete some of the features, while the best solutions had us finished and ready to promote our products much more quickly, particularly our top-ranking product, 3dcart.
In addition, we used as many of the shopping features and options that we could in order to understand the consumer experience with our online store. For the most part, each of the shopping cart software we tested differed in the number of templates available and the extra options available with the tested package; this number changes if you include options that need to be purchased separately or as part of a higher-priced package. We found that the best shopping cart creation programs offered templates and features that give our finished website a seamless and professional look.
Whether you are a seasoned online merchant or new to the medium, it's likely that you'll need technical assistance with your site at one time or another. Any company should provide direct technical assistance via email, telephone or live chat. The manufacturers of the best shopping cart software provide comprehensive support resources that you can reference, including knowledgebases, user guides and video tutorials. Some services go a step further with education centers and forums where you can learn more about eCommerce in general.
Support Services & Software for Shopping Cart
Shopping cart software is used to help you create an online store, whether you need to create one from scratch or update an existing website into an eCommerce site. Several of the programs on our top ten list provide you with a unique domain URL and can host your site. However, some require you to have your own web hosting service lined up after you create your online store. Some of the solutions we tested integrate into your WordPress blog, such as Pinnacle Cart, so you don't have to create a separate site.
Naturally, you should be able to run sales reports and manage your orders. Most shopping cart solutions offer detailed reporting, so look for those that also integrate with your accounting software for greater efficiency. If you have a physical store, consider software with a point-of-sale system, such as CoreCommerce, that works as your cash register for your brick-and-mortar store and tracks physical sales as well as online sales.
If you need a professional-looking website, but not necessarily one that offers shopping cart functions, you can use a website builder or consider hiring a professional web developer to do the work for you. Once your site is created, whether it is an eCommerce site or a business page, consider using an online marketing company to help promote your business and increase your name recognition.
For more help in deciding which shopping cart program is best for you, check out the quick guide on our sister site, BuyerZone. We also have several articles on shopping cart software.
Additional Features to Consider
Shopping cart software comes with a wide range of tools and options for both the administrative side and for the consumer. Here are several more features we looked at as we reviewed webshop solutions.
Storage & Bandwidth
Shopping cart services generally offer a variety of plans, so we chose plans that provided for at least 100 products, 3GB of storage and 1GB of bandwidth for transactions. Since plans still vary widely, we also looked at the best plan each service had to offer that met those requirements but cost less than $60.
Because different companies reach different clientele, their plans vary. Look at the range of storage space, bandwidth, products and price to get a feel for what a company offers. Storage space refers to the amount of information you can store on your website, such as product information, blog posts and images. Bandwidth controls how many transactions you can have and includes customers clicking around your website as well as employees loading a new product. Some shopping cart services limit the number of products you can have in your inventory. Shopify gives you unlimited bandwidth and storage.
Templates & Themes
If you want to create a shopping cart website that prospective customers will enjoy using and want to visit repeatedly, you need a site with polished, professional and intuitive webpages. Shopping cart software should include an array of design and customization options that enable you to create the perfect site for your business. Most programs now offer the tools you need to manage all the facets of a shopping cart website, including website design, inventory control, customer management, and tax and shipping calculations. Additionally, most shopping cart applications help you market your site with integrated features for affiliate programs, social network marketing and sales through other venues as well as online sales features that attract and retain customers.
If you have a large inventory, you should look for bulk editing. This allows you to make changes to a group of products at once rather than having to change each product individually. If your site contains a lot of high-density images or large files that need to be uploaded or downloaded for the customer, being on a content delivery network makes those transactions faster. GoDaddy Online Store is one such solution.
Third-Party Program Interface
Blogging helps keep your website on the radar of search engines, increase customer loyalty and promote your brand. We think having built-in blogging capability is a plus, as it adds convenience to you and synchronization to your site. If you like WordPress, look for software that integrates with it to sell products as well.
One important feature that we looked for was the ability for the solution to integrate with and support a store with eBay or Amazon. This features lets you list on multiple venues while still accurately tracking your inventory. If an item sells on any of these sites, the item is removed from all, eliminating the need for you to take extra steps to ensure each store is accurate. Additionally, we made note of those solutions that include an abandoned-cart feature, which lets patrons save products within the shopping cart and return later to finish the checkout process. Products vary by whether nor not these features are included with the monthly price, as with fortune3, or charge an additional fee.
While all the shopping cart software programs we looked at offer payment gateways, which enable you to take checks or cash on delivery, they do vary in security. All are PCI compliant and SSL encrypted with the minimum standard of 128 bits, so you can feel secure along with your customers. Some require you to pay for the SSL certificate.
Fraud-protection tools differ but are available. Some shopping cart solutions go a step further and provide fraud scoring, which alerts you to customers who are a risk and gives you the option to deny them the sale.
Our Verdict & Recommendations
Webshop software can make your online business a success or a headache. The software should be simple to work and replete with features that help customers purchase your products with ease, confidence and security. The shopping cart company should also provide you great customer support.
Whether you are purchasing independent software to add a shopping cart to your existing website or software as a service that includes hosting, cart and support, you deserve the same breadth of features and quality of service.
We found that our top-ranked solutions, 3dcart, Volusion and BigCommerce, have the easiest setup, the most professional-looking pages, the best options for both your store and your customers, reasonable prices, and the best overall value.

Suspect in east London Russian banker shooting arrested
16:14 08 February 2013
A potential suspect in the doorstep shooting of a Russian banker near Canary Wharf has been arrested in Moscow, it was reported today.
Scotland Yard said detectives investigating the attempted murder of German Gorbuntsov "note" the arrest and that inquiries continue.
The force revealed last year that officers have a full DNA profile of the attacker.
Mr Gorbuntsov was gunned down as he entered a block of flats on Byng Street in east London on March 20 last year.
He was shot six times and said he has suffered permanent injuries as a result of the attempt on his life.
It was repoted today in Roanian media that a man involved in another shooting in Bucharest had been arrested in Moscow, and that he is also a suspect in the attack on Mr Gorbuntsov.
Vitali Proca was wanted by Interpol over the attack in Romania and moves are now under way to extradite him from Russia.
A Metropolitan Police spokesman said: "Throughout the course of this investigation, detectives have engaged in dialogue with authorities in Romania and Russia with a view to progressing this investigation. This continues.
"Detectives note the arrest of a man in Russia but at this stage we are not prepared to discuss the name of any person we would wish to speak to as part of the investigation."
The gun used in the attempt to kill Mr Gorbuntsov was a 9mm Makarov pistol, which police said was "highly unusual" and rarely used in Britain.
Speaking last year, the banker said no doctor had been able to reassure him that he would fully recover after the gun attack.
In an interview with BBC programme Crimewatch he said: "The worst feeling is that guy shot me and ran away and probably very much hoped he had killed me. This incident has changed my whole life."

In my conversation last week with the gang at Internet Brands, we got to discussing the best cards for readers these days to fly to far off lands free or as close to free as possible.
As I rattled off in my aging and decaying brain the offers from the other banks and co-branded credit cards, it became as clear as a bell that Chase has really taken over the market for airline cards with the Sapphire Preferred card, Ink Bold card and Ink Plus card. In a two month time span with good credit and the ability to meet the minimum monthly spend, you can amass a nice pile of Ultimate Rewards points and because of the transfer options available, transfer them to Korean, United, or British Airways for some nice long haul premium cabin flights.
With the ability to get one personal and one business card per month, month one you can generate 90K points with a Chase Sapphire card and Ink Bold card and follow up a month later with an Ink Plus card for another 50K if your scores are right. I'll know next month if I can hold both the Chase Sapphire Preferred Visa and Mastercard simultaneously when I apply March 17th. I've read conflicting reports. The Chase airline cards have fallen from grace with me for now. I don't need the Mileage Plus cards as long as the Ultimate Rewards program stays as structured. And I don't have a Southwest Airlines airport anywhere near me.
It's time to call on Citi, Barclays, American Express, and all the other card issuers if they are reading.
Chase is indeed running the show here and our travel challenges for long distance flights in either coach or premium cabins, must recommend Chase products for the foreseeable future.
Competition is a good thing here in America. I hope the co-branded cards and other card issuers will start to up their game to compete for the airline miles crowd.
The hotel programs are heading in the wrong direction with devaluations on all fronts. Let's hope that they too notice the example set by Chase, asking for our business with good solid offers, will filter back into the hotel loyalty programs once again.

Somersfield Academy invited the Greenrock School Roadshow to visit during their environment day celebrations in June. This school is already a leader in promoting environmental awareness, but they needed and wanted more support to keep up this mindset.
The Roadshow crew arrived thinking it would be the usual assembly-style presentation. This time was different. The Somersfield students were giving their own presentations on the importance of being aware of the dangers of certain plastic water bottles and the consumerism attitude we have so quickly adopted when it comes to buying bottled water. They were also discussing green labels and what they actually mean. In short, the Roadshow crew had a lot to learn from them. How refreshing!
We were welcomed with open arms and intelligent discussion on sustainable development. In most cases, the Roadshow presentation is given and then questions are addressed at the end. Not in this case – it was completely interactive from start to finish.
Roadshow member Eugene Dean has a special ability to reach his audience and touch on something meaningful to them. He had the Somersfield audience at the edge of their seats and received a well-deserved standing ovation after continuing well over the allotted time.
Greenrock is changing the mindset one mind at a time!

September 23, 2011
WINNIPEG, MB, Sept. 23, 2011/Troy Media/ – It has been hard to open a newspaper lately without seeing an article about the Keystone XL pipeline. From environmentalist actors on one side, to provincial premiers on the other, people are arguing passionately for and against the plan to build a 3,500-kilometre pipeline that will transport 700,000 barrels of oil per day from the Alberta oil sands to refineries on the Gulf Coast, before being shipped to market around the world.
Thus far, the Government of Canada has come down solidly in support of the project. Federal officials tout the construction of this pipeline as a means to provide long-term continental energy security and give a $20 billion boost to the economy. Gary Doer, Canada's ambassador to the United States, has been promoting the project to Americans for months, while Natural Resources Minister Joe Oliver has also jetted down to Washington to meet with prominent figures and trumpet the benefits to America of a pipeline linking our two nations – including over 20,000 construction and manufacturing positions. Even Prime Minister Stephen Harper expressed his strong belief that approval for the pipeline should be a 'no-brainer' for the Obama administration, because 'the number of jobs that would be created on both sides of the border is simply enormous'.
Is pipeline actually a 'jobs killer'?
While environmentalists and native groups continue to express concern over the potential environmental impact of the pipeline, Canada's leaders have held firm to the position that the overall benefits are worth the risk. With the global economy in an ongoing state of fragility, this pipeline is assured to bring jobs and prosperity to the citizens of Canada and the United States.
At least, that is what we were told up until this week.
On Thursday, however, representatives from our country's largest energy workers association, the Communications, Energy, and Paperworks Union (CEP), went to Ottawa to inform MPs their organization opposes the project. According to union president Dave Coles, the pipeline is actually a 'jobs killer' in Canada because it will carry untreated crude to American refineries instead of having the resource turned into fuel and chemicals here. In fact, he cited a new study that estimates Canada will lose 40,500 direct and indirect jobs because of the increased export of raw bitumen.
Interestingly, a number of industry observers have made this argument before. Recklessly uninhibited expansion of the oil sands, they claim, created a dangerously overheated Albertan economy, with construction costs so high that energy companies built only what was necessary to get the oil out of the ground and down to U.S. refineries. Effectively, Canadians got short-term construction booms while the long-term, well-paying refining jobs went south.
This latest opposition by the CEP, representing 35,000 employees in the energy sector, should give the government pause on the direction of oil sands development. Specifically, our elected representatives should ensure they are not confusing the ends and the means of energy production. The purpose of oil extraction is not to extract oil; it is to provide livelihoods and prosperity for the people of this country. Proponents of Keystone XL argue that Americans need our 'ethical' oil to avoid having to purchase petroleum from countries where women are abused and democracy ignored; and of course, selling our energy supplies on the international market does bring currency into Canada. But the resource is no good to U.S. consumers until it is refined, so why are we not pushing harder for greater value-added production here, in order to benefit from the long-term employment opportunities and the ability to sell a refined commodity at a higher price?
By law, energy supplies belong to the citizens of the province in which they lie. Alberta's oil sands development should therefore be done in a way that most benefits current and future Albertans (which, it should be noted, may mean leaving the resource in the ground because the environmental and social costs of extraction are just too high). When the people of the province no longer believe the production of their resources is being done in an advantageous manner, it is time for a reevaluation of the future of the industry.
The claim that the Keystone XL project will bring thousands of new jobs has been contested, and those directly affected by developments in the oil patch are speaking out in opposition. It is thus time for government officials to stop their uncritical promotion of this pipeline and listen to the concerns of constituents, in order to do what they were ultimately elected to do – put the interests of Canadians first.

A COUPLE who first met in the Dards pub, celebrated their diamond wedding anniversary last week.
Cliff and Brenda Hale, both 82, met on Cliff's 18th birthday on Christmas Eve 64 years ago.
Cliff of Thruxton Close, Cudworth said: "I met Brenda on the night I had my first taste of alcohol.
"Brenda was in there with her parents and I had to ask them first if I could take her out.
"They agreed, and here we are now.
"While we were planning to get married, I was in the army so Brenda and her mum arranged the wedding, and it turned out to be on the day of the cup final.
"We had our wedding reception in the Dards, and then spent a few days in Scarborough."
Cliff and Brenda went on to have a son and a daughter, and now have seven grandchildren and two great grandchildren.

In one of the biggest victory of the Syrian War, al-Qaeda (the al-Nusra Front) has captured the provincial capital Raqa in Northern City. This is the first major city city in Syria captured entirely by al-Qaeda or the Muslim Brotherhood (FSA). In celebrating their victory a statue of Hafez al Assad was torn down.
After days of fierce clashes, the rebels were now in "near-total control" of Raqa, "except for some regime positions, including the military security and Baath Party headquarters," the Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said.
The Syrian province of Raqa will be freed of regime forces in the coming two days, the director of the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights told NOW.
"When the city of Al-Tabaqa was freed, we said that within a few weeks the district of Raqa would be the first to be completely freed from Syrian troops, and we will see this happen within the coming 48 hours," Abdel Rahman added.
In retaliation for the Iraqi Army's attacks on al-Nusra positions in Syria, the Islamic terror group launched a deadly attack killing wounded Syrian soldiers being transported in Iraq.
And in Iraq, the prime minister's spokesperson said unidentified armed men ambushed a convoy carrying Syrian soldiers who had entered via the Yaarubiyeh border crossing, the site of weekend fighting, killing 48 Syrian and nine Iraqi soldiers.
"This confirms our fears of the attempt of some to move the conflict to Iraq, but we will face these attempts by all sides with all of our power," Ali Mussawi, Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki's spokesperson, told AFP.
The Syrian war is blessing to anti-Islamists. Nothing better than having evil factions kill each other.

Women's Skiing Finishes Sixth In Slalom At USCSA Nationals
March 10, 2009
WINTER PARK, Colo. - The UMass Women's Ski Team closed out its season with a sixth place finish in the slalom at the USCSA Nationals. After finishing sixth in the Giant Slalom, the Minutewomen skied consistently in the second event, led by Emily Shilletto's 12th place finish. Shilletto and men's co-captain Alex Zahoruiko were named combined Second Team All Americans. The Minutewomen finished the USCSA Nationals in fifth place overall out of 20 teams.

Sunday, December 4th is everyones' last chance to bid bon voyage to Lincoln Park Zoo's resident penguins and seabirds
Chicago---- Zoolights kicks off this weekend to light-up and warm the chilly "Windy City" nights. This year's festival promises to be bigger, better, and brighter than ever before, with more than 2 million twinkling bulbs!
Zoolights happens every Friday, Saturday and Sunday night, through December 11. Beginning December 16, the event is offered nightly through January 1, excluding Christmas Eve and Christmas Day. Zoo hours are from 10 a.m. to 9 p.m., with special Zoolights activities beginning at 5 p.m. As always, the magic of this holiday wonderland is FREE for the whole family! You can keep Jack Frost at bay with a winter warmer of traditional spiced wine, hot cider, or steamy cocoa. If the weather is truly frightful, hanging out at the cozy, Kovler Lion House with Santa himself would be most delightful.
Enjoy a chilly spin on the AT&T Endangered Species Carousel, or learn some pointers from the ice sculpter experts, while being awestruck from the shimmering light show.
The zoo's creatures are stirring as the zoo bids farewell to some old feathered friends in the Kovler Penguin-Seabird House. Visitors can stop by to wish the birds happy holidays and bon voyage before the house permanently closes to the public on Monday, December 5th.
The penguin house is closing after 30 years to make way for a new state-of-the-art animal exhibit in its place in the future. All of the birds in the exhibit have found new homes at AZA-accredited institutions throughout the United States and Canada. Two rockhopper penguins hatched at the zoo will be staying in Chicago; 3-year old Dixie and 5-year old Bryana will be moving to Chicago's "ocean on the lake," the Shedd Aquarium.
Said zoo president, Kevin Bell, "Winter is the best time to relocate these cool-weather birds, so as we celebrate the season we bid them a fond farewell. I cannot believe it has been 30 years since I oversaw the opening of the building. We are resolving to include penguins in our future as plans for new exhibits are developed in the New Year."
During the Zoolights festival, Lincoln Park Zoo invites the public to give the gift of warmth this year by participating in the second annual Zoolights winter coat drive. Last year the zoo collected more than 500 winter coat and accessory items for charities in the Chicago area. Visitors can help the zoo by bringing new or used cozy clothing to the drop boxes at Gateway Pavilion, Park Place Cafe' and the Kovler Lion House.
Author's note: I was fortunate enough to have been a zookeeper working in the Small Mammal House, which was just a stone's throw away from the construction site of the Penguin-Seabird House, 30 years ago. We keepers in the SMH were able to watch the building as it materialized day to day. I was also fortunate enough to have "cross-trained" to work in that "new" building a few times. One can go into that "house" having a less than desireable day and come out all smiles after interacting with the penguins. Those were some very fond memories. HAPPY HOLIDAYS EVERYONE!

Sept. 9, 2010
TUCSON, Ariz. - Former University of Arizona men's basketball player Fendi Onobun has made his way into professional sports as a tight end in the National Football League.
Onobun, listed at 6-foot-6 and 249 pounds made the 53-man opening day roster for the St. Louis Rams.
Originally from Houston, Texas, Onobun averaged 1.8 points and 1.2 rebounds in 81 career appearances (three starts), while connecting on 58.7 percent of his field goal attempts (61-of-104) at Arizona. He helped the Wildcats amass an 80-53 (.602) record in his four seasons in Tucson (2005-09), capped by four trips to the NCAA Tournament, including the 2009 Midwest Region Sweet 16.
He earned his undergraduate degree in interdisciplinary studies from Arizona in 2009 and pursued postgraduate work at the University of Houston, where he played football for the first time since seventh grade. In one season with the Cougars (2009), Onobun played in 11 games, catching two passes for 33 yards and a touchdown. UH ended the season in the Armed Forces Bowl.
Onobun and the Rams open the 2010 NFL season on Sunday, Sept. 12, as the club hosts the Atlanta Falcons.
Arizona has a long history of standouts who have starred professionally in different sports, including such notables as basketball letterman Kenny Lofton (1985-89), who enjoyed a 17-year Major League Baseball career; 1982 NCAA long jump champion Vance Johnson, who enjoyed a 10-year NFL career; Tony Bouie, a UA baseball alumnus (1991, '93-94) who went on to a four-year NFL career; and track standout and 1992 Olympic medalist Michael Bates, who went on to a 10-year NFL career that included five Pro Bowl appearances.

On Feb. 1, Dylan Farrow, the adopted daughter of film magnate Woody Allen and actress Mia Farrow, wrote an open letter to The New York Times and declared for the first time publicly that her father sexually assaulted when she was seven-years-old.
According to Dylan, "these things happened so often, so routinely, so skillfully hidden from a mother that would have protected me had she known, that I thought it was normal." Dylan is now 28-years-old.
On Feb. 2, MSN reported that Allen responded to his daughter's allegations, saying that her story was "disgraceful and untrue."
On Sunday, Allen's publicist, Leslee Dart, said on her client's behalf:
"Mr. Allen has read the article and found it untrue and disgraceful. He will be responding very soon."
"In the meantime, it is essential that your coverage make the following FACTS clear:
"At the time, a thorough investigation was conducted by court appointed independent experts. The experts concluded there was no credible evidence of molestation; that Dylan Farrow had an inability to distinguish between fantasy and reality; and that Dylan Farrow had likely been coached by her mother Mia Farrow. No charges were ever filed."
Also on Sunday, Allen's lawyer, Elkan Abramowitz, echoed Allen's publicist's sentiments and laid full blame for Dylan's story on Dylan's mother.
"It is tragic that after 20 years a story engineered by a vengeful lover resurfaces after it was fully vetted and rejected by independent authorities. The one to blame for Dylan's distress is neither Dylan nor Woody Allen."
Twenty years ago when Allen and Farrow were embroiled in a bitter custody battle over their two adopted children, Farrow testified in court that Allen had sexually assaulted then two-year-old Dylan.
Then, as now, it was Allen's lawyer's assertion that Farrow made up the story about Dylan's sexual abuse in an effort to support Farrow's side of the child custody battle against Allen.
For more on Dylan's accusations, and her adoptive father's response, see the video accompanying this article.

So when a surprise function comes up that our face isn't ready for, we reach for a bottle of Erborian Sleeping BB Mask ($48). Overnight, our skin goes from "maternity leave" to "exemplary housewife, mother, businesswoman". And the latter is a much more flattering look, let us tell you.
