text: Aug 20, 2014 10:29 Xavier student attends Civil Rights Act ceremony Xavier student attends Civil Rights Act ceremony Photo provided by DeVon Pruitt - Xavier University student DeVon Pruitt, center, with Charles Person, one of the original Freedom Riders, and his wife Joetta at the 50th anniversary ceremonies of the 1964 signing of the Civil Rights Act, held July 2 in Washington, D.C., and Richmond, Virginia. Kimberly Singletary| Special to The Advocate Aug. 13, 2014; 10:29 a.m. Comments Xavier University student DeVon Pruitt was one of 18 students in the country sent to represent their colleges at the 50th anniversary ceremonies of the 1964 signing of the Civil Rights Act, held July 2 in Washington, D.C., and Richmond, Virginia. For Pruitt, a junior majoring in political science, the highlight of the trip was being able to spend two hours on a bus traveling between the ceremonies in D.C. and Virginia with six original freedom riders — the civil rights activists who rode buses into the South in the 1960s to challenge segregation laws. "The other students and I got to hear their stories, why they came to the South, how they were beaten and attacked for their beliefs," Pruitt said. "And most importantly, they gave us advice." One particular freedom rider, Joan Trumpauer, told a story Pruitt said he'll never forget. "She talked about how she is still strong in her beliefs today, but that even when we're being strong, we need to remember to respect each other," Pruitt said. "Then she told us about how when (Barack) Obama was running for office she had some pro-Obama signs out in her yard. Her neighbor had McCain signs. But whenever a wind would kick up and knock one of her signs down, her neighbor would come over and fix it for her. She said that's the kind of respect we need to show even when we have different views." Pruitt said the experience reinforced for him that everyone has something to fight for. His cause, he said, is education. "I'm big on the importance of access to higher education," he said. "I came from a single family, low-income household and for me, the only escape other than my religion was in education. Formal education opens your mind to life education." It is Pruitt's success in both forms of education that led him to be chosen by Xavier University Vice President of Student Services Joseph Byrd and Dean of Students Nedra Alcorn for this unique honor. The Meridian, Mississippi, native has racked up an impressive résumé. In addition to serving as the grand marshal and keynote speaker for Meridian's Martin Luther King Jr. parade and celebration, he is a Presidential Scholar, a Ronald E. McNair Scholar and a James S. Kemper Scholar. The latter means that he is one of 20 students selected nationally for a business leadership program at Xavier. Pruitt is spending the summer interning with the National Finance Center of the U.S. Department of Agriculture. He said he hopes to work in public policy at the state or federal level after he graduates in May. "I love learning how the government works and how policy is used to influence social, political and economic change," he said. His fascination with the workings of government paired with a passion for education made the setting for the first of the day's ceremonies particularly exciting for Pruitt. Pruitt was one of more than 200 people who attended what he called a "high-spirited and charismatic" ceremony to mark the anniversary at the U.S. Department of Education in Washington, D.C. The ceremony included a proclamation from the President's Office as well as art, music and spoken word performances by other students. "One student created what he called a 'Black Rushmore' that included depictions of Martin Luther King and Obama but also featured his own face," Pruitt said. "The message is that we all can build our own Rushmore." While a good portion of the focus of the ceremonies was on the African-American experience, Pruitt said there was an obvious effort to be all-inclusive. "The real message of the day was that the struggle for civil rights wasn't just for African-Americans, it was for all people of all backgrounds," he said. "And by celebrating our differences, we can all be united." Get The Advocate in your inbox Subscribe

Wilmington Garden Show has growth spurt
Published: Monday, February 11, 2013 at 10:38 a.m.
Last Modified: Monday, February 11, 2013 at 10:38 a.m.
The Wilmington Garden Show, a fundraiser for the New Hanover County Arboretum put on by the Friends of the Arboretum membership group, celebrates 20 years on Feb. 16 and 17 with an Emmy-winning keynote speaker and a brand-new garden display inside the Schwartz Center in downtown Wilmington.
What: Wilmington Garden Show
When: 9 a.m.-5 p.m. Feb. 16 and noon-5 p.m. Feb. 17
Where: Schwartz Center, 601 N. Front St., Wilmington
Tickets: $7 at the door, $5 with coupon. Free to Friends of the Arboretum and children under 12
Details: www.nhcgov.com/Arboretum/pages/wilmingtongardenshow.aspx
Bryce Lane
Speakers are a big draw for garden show attendees and you can always learn something from the local experts.
This year, however, Bryce Lane, star of "In the Garden with Bryce Lane," the Emmy-winning gardening show on PBS, will be headlining talks on Saturday and Sunday.
"Even non-plant nerds will enjoy listening to Bryce talk," said Al Hight, director of the Arboretum. "He is very enthusiastic and engaging."
Saturday's 10:30 a.m. presentation is titled "I'm Not From Around These Parts: Putting Down Roots in North Carolina." If you're a transplant here – and there are certainly many of you out there – you will hear many practical take-home tips for getting growing in the vastly different climate and soil conditions you'll find in coastal North Carolina.
Sunday's 1:30 p.m. talk is titled "For the Love of Gardening: The Power of Plants to Change your Point of View."
Expert how-to's
Hight will present a lecture on proper pruning Saturday at 2 p.m. "Hacking, Topping, Hewin' Back and Other Pruning Mistakes" is a talk that should cure you of your urge to commit "crape murder" and prevent you from chopping off all of this year's azalea flowers before they bloom.
Susan Brown, New Hanover County Cooperative Extension agent for consumer horticulture, will discuss plant propagation on Saturday at 12:30 p.m. Organizers said the speaker area will be located in a quieter area this year so that it's easier to hear and learn from the presentations.
Garden centerpiece
Another brand-new feature at the garden show this year is a 1,600-square-foot center courtyard garden for visitors to stroll through.
"Instead of rows of booths, we'll have booths surrounding a garden that we're building by hand in the center of the gymnasium," said Mark Weekley, horticulture technician at the Arboretum. "It will be controlled chaos on Friday, and then we'll have to tear it all down again on Monday. But it will be worth it."
Weekley and his dedicated crew of volunteers will move yards and yards of mulch and soil, plants and pavers into the Schwartz center to create a garden wonderland.
"We've moved some azaleas into the greenhouse so we'll have some blooms for the show. I'm also focusing on selecting evergreens and trees with interesting bark or unique shapes," Weekley said.
He's looking forward to incorporating garden art and architecture from the show's vendors into the garden.
"If someone walks through the garden and sees a piece of garden art or a bench they like, we'll point out where they can buy it. It will be a much more collaborative effort this year." Hight said. "We wanted to bring a bit of the Philadelphia Flower Show to Wilmington. Of course, we can't build as many displays on as big of a scale, but this show garden will definitely improve the visitor experience."
The centerpiece of the garden will be a fountain designed and built by Josh Rickards of Creative Cascades.
Each year, the Friends of the Arboretum hold a raffle to raise money for the Arboretum. This year, Wilmington Grill Company has donated a $2,000 custom grill for raffle.
Tickets are $10 each or three for $25, with a limit of 1,000 tickets sold. The logo of the New Hanover County Arboretum has been stamped and painted on the front of the grill.
Shopping and dining
Poor Piggy's BBQ will cater the show once again, and there are plenty of local vendors selling plants, garden ornaments and garden tools. The Arboretum Gift Shop will have an assortment of gift items, and the Ability Garden will have plants for sale to benefit their programs.
Features: 343-2343

The book came to life from the fact of my love for my grandma. She's really very important to me. She's my best friend, my mentor and the one I can talk to about absolutely everything.She has been my neighbour for the past 22 years, my entire life. I moved away from home for studies about 2 years ago. Since then I have missed being able to walk over to her house and talk with her everyday.
One weekend when I came home for a short visit the two of us sat down together and looked at some old photos of her and the people that have been important to her in her life. It was a wonderful feeling to see these photos while she told me the history behind them. There and then I realised and saw the real life she had lived. The people, circumstances and surroundings that have formed her into the wonderful woman she is today. I saw the people that once had lived with here, the people that she had loved, they who not live anymore. So there I sat, realising that this is what life is about. Memories. Her memories and those pictures is as close I can come to being there with her, when the photos was taken, some of them almost 80 years old.
So here it is, my book about my best friend, my mentor, my great Grandma.

The prom. It's supposed to be on of the best nights of your life. Or, at least, you're supposed to have a good time. But what if you'd rather be going with your best friend's date than your own? What if a sinister underground society of stunts has spiked the punch? What if your date turns out to be more of a frog than a prince? Or what if he's (literally) an ape?
There are ways you can fight it. You can protest the silliness of the regular prom by hosting a backwards prom -- also known as a mop. You can throw a prom for fat girls. You can stay at home to watch old teen movies and get your cute neighbor and his cuter brother to join you. You can dance to your own music
Here, 21 of the funniest, most imaginative writers toy create their own kind of prom stories. Some are triumphs. Some are disasters. But each one is a night you'll never forget.
Contributing authors: Cecily von Ziegesar, Libba Bray, Holly Black, John Green, Jacqueline Woodson, Rachel Cohn, Melissa de la Cruz, E. Lockhart, Elizabeth Craft, Saray Mlynowski, Aimee Friedman, Daniel Ehrenhaft, David Levithan, Jodi Lynn Anderson, Lslie Margolis, Brent Hartinger, Lisa Ann Sandell, Will Leitch, Adrienne Maria Vrettos, Ned Vizzini, Billy Merrell.

"Older teens will flock to this book, which undoubtedly features some of the best teen fiction writers of our era." -–Caryl Soriano, New York Public Library, starred review
Young adult fiction, ages 14+; paperback, 304 pages.
Twenty-one incredible authors come together within this book of compilations to each detail a different story from a different person's perspective, male and female, about their experience with the prom. Twenty-one different stories are showcased within this book, each of a different nature, a different way to captivate the audience. This book seems slightly difficult to review seeing as there are twenty-one different stories, some of which were less entertaining than others. But overall, this book was entertaining, triggering every emotion possible from a reader.
The different though compelling stories of this compilation vary from You Are A Prom Queen, Dance Dance Dance by Elizabeth Craft, where her main character, Emilie, hates everything that has to do with the prom, from dresses, to heels, even to the bra she has to wear; to Holly Black's story, In Vodka Veritas, a short, creepy story about the insides of a Latin club; to Three Fates where main character Abby actually ends up with three prom dates, instead of going dateless like she'd orginally though she would; to Brent Hartinger's fantastic one-act play, The Question, where one boy has so much trouble asking the girl he likes to the prom, that he has to ask his best friend in for back up.
The stories in this book are so different from one another, as stated many times before, that it's almost impossible to explain it without giving too much away. It takes every step from intriguing to unusual and back around the corner to just plain backwards, when John Green tackles A Six-Pack of Bud, A Fifth of Whiskey, and Me, the Great American Morp, where his female characters host an anti-prom, a backwards prom, so to speak, as they call it a "morp."
All in all, this book was incredibly interesting, with some stories that can capture and captivate an audience, where as others struggle slightly to impress, though are still interesting in their own way, such as Primate the Prom by Libba Bray, where a boy ventures off to the prom with his boyfriend, who is actually a real, live gorilla. But this book was still impressive in many ways, and still gives off a good four (and a half, if possible) stars.
Overall Rating; B+

Lessons from Linsanity: How reporters can learn from media coverage of NBA breakout star Jeremy Lin
Tom Huang discusses how journalists can benefit from the media's coverage of the latest sports phenomenon, Linsanity. The term has erupted the past week as New York Knicks guard Jeremy Lin shocked the sports world to lead his team to a five-game winning streak, highlighted by a 38-point performance against the Lakers
Huang writes, "What's unusual about Lin's story is that he is a Harvard graduate and an American of Taiwanese descent. There haven't been that many Harvard graduates in the NBA. And, as best as I can tell, there have been only three or four Asian Americans in the league before Lin.
Add in Lin's apparent good-guy humility and devout Christian faith, and his story resonates with a lot of folks, regardless of their appreciation for his fluid jump shots and acrobatic drives to the basket…
So I'm going to enjoy Linsanity for as long as it lasts. In the meantime, with my journalist's hat on, I'd like to sketch out three things we can learn from covering this phenomenon."

"Welcome to Psychedelicatessen, a weekly column exploring the world of cannabis cuisine, including recipes from the great chefs and ganjapreneurs who fuel our appetite for adventure."
The custom of combining cannabis with coffee goes way back to French artists and writers who frequented the infamous Club des Hachichins ("Club of the Hashish-Eaters") in the mid-1800s. At these gatherings, intellectual elites including Charles Baudelaire, Eugène Delacroix and Alexandre Dumas would mix crumbled up hashish into their coffee and talk late into the night.
Mixing cannabis and caffeine has been popular ever since, with the combined effects of the two substances producing an alert but relaxed state conducive to creative work. Flash forward to the modern day, and you'll find comedian Rob Cantrell rapping about wake-and-baking with "Coffee and Weed," colloquially known as a "Hippie Speedball."
Moving this proud tradition forward, today you can find many cannabis-infused caffeinated beverages for sale in dispensaries, or for a simple yet elegant pick-me-up, you can elevate your morning coffee by dissolving cannabis-infused chocolate into it. Blue Kudu, based in Denver, has captured a faithful fan base who swear by the high-dose, small portion size of their chocolate bars, precisely dosed to deliver anywhere from 40 to 225 milligrams of THC depending on the chosen product.
Founded in 2011, the newly legal recreational market has allowed this small, family-run business to expand to over 150 retail stores and dispensaries in Colorado. Andrew Schrot, Managing Director for Blue Kudu, believes that "nationwide legalization is coming soon in the future, and we plan to expand to other states," and that the novelty of non-combustible, cannabis-infused edibles will capture a large market share amongst people who would never consider smoking anything.
When you consider how ubiquitous coffee is in our culture, it's not hard to imagine Starbuck's adding shots of cannabis chocolate to their drinks in a few years' time! Or make your own at home with this easy recipe. Jeromy Jones, a Facebook friend of the fledgling edibles business, contributed this recipe for Blue Kudu Espresso Shots. Look for Blue Kudu at the upcoming U.S. Cannabis Cup on April 19-20 at Denver Mart, where they'll be competing for top honors.
Blue Kudu Espresso Shots
Makes 5-6 shots
-1 whole Blue Kudu Hybrid Chocolate bar* (grated or finely chopped)
-4 oz. fresh brewed Marley Coffee espresso (hot)
-1 oz. milk, soy-milk or your favorite creamer
-5-6 tsp. whipped cream for topping
Pour hot espresso or coffee into a 1 qt. glass pitcher. Add chopped chocolate and milk. Whisk till froth is formed. Pour into shot glasses and top with whipped cream.
*Choose the Blue Kudu bar that's dosed appropriately for you. Recreational stores carry bars with 40mg, 80mg or 100mg of THC, while medical patients can obtain higher doses of 225mg.

Bingo!

This dress belonged to Queen Victoria and was worn in 1897, the year of her Diamond Jubilee (the celebration of her 60 years as reigning monarch). She was EXTREMELY bereft after her husband Albert died, and wore black the rest of her life.

This dress is part of the Helen Larson Historic Fashion Collection, which the FIDM Museum is in the process of acquiring. Helen Larson was a California-based collector of historic dress and she had a specific interest in garments with a royal provenance. As we work towards the acquisition of the collection, we are displaying selected garments from the Larson collection on short rotations at the FIDM Museum. This dress is currently on display.

There are a few other garments from Queen Victoria's wardrobe in the United States, including this dress at the Met: http://bit.ly/yvwEME.

Guess about the black dress - Queen Victoria? She was bereft at the loss of Albert after about 21 years of marriage & 9 children. If it was Q. Victoria, how did FIDM get the dress?

Neat and oh-so-petite, in fact so teeny, you can probably find space for it in a large backpack--the Urb-e electric vehicle is quite possibly "the world's most compact vehicle."
The urbanites' answer to the ultimate put-put, the Urb-e is a foldable three-wheeled aluminum contraption. If you're a commuter, the Urb-e can comfortably fit between your legs while you sit on a bus, train or car. You don't have to lock up the light weight scoot outside if you enter a building because you can roll it in with you. The Urb-e has cool LED lights and there is even a luggage rack in the rear for a bag or briefcase.
The Urb-e runs on a 20-mile range lithium battery and the electric hub motor can hit speeds of up to 15 miles per hour. As far as juicing it up, Urban Mobility, the creators of the Urb-e are working on developing easy-to-access charging stations at such places as campuses, urban hubs and bike sharing locations. The company, who developed the color customizable scoot-around to help ease the overcrowding urban transportation problems , are also working on smaller single charging stations.
Will the Urb-e catch on? Time will tell. Check out the video.

The Otago farmer chose to name it after champion sprinter
Usain Bolt, which proved to be a good move.
Bonacord Murmur Bolt was among the dairy industry's top bulls
whose breeders were recently recognised at a function at
LIC's headquarters, at Newstead, Hamilton.
About 120 breeders from throughout the country attended LIC's
Premier Sires Breeders' Day after supplying a bull calf to
the co-operative which went on to form part of the 2013-14
team of elite bulls for artificial breeding.
Busy Brook Robust-ET S3F, bred by Nathan Bayne of the Henley
Farming Company in Outram, was the only other Otago bull in
the team.
Premier Sires bull teams, both daughter proven and
genomically selected, sire three out of four dairy cows in
New Zealand - contributing about $300 million each year to
the economy, or more than $17 billion since LIC began
artificial breeding services in the 1950s.
LIC's general manager of genetics, Peter Gatley, said the
breeders' day was a very special day on LIC's calendar
because it celebrated a group of farmers whose expertise as
breeders deserved commendation.
Premier Sires were responsible for producing the next
generation of high-genetic-merit, high-performing dairy
animals, Mr Gatley said.
Some of the Holstein-Friesian, Jersey and KiwiCross bulls in
the elite team were paraded at the day, including Bonacord
Murmur Bolt. Mr Allison said the bull, which was sent north
as a calf in January last year, came from a very good family
and he was delighted with its success.
Three generations of the Allison family attended the
breeders' day - Mr Allison, his wife Raelene, their son Kelly
and grandson Fynn (9).
Jerseys were a very placid breed and ''very hard workers''
when it came to producing kilograms of milk solids per body
weight of the cow, Mr Allison said. A 400kg Jersey could
produce 500kg ms, which was very efficient.
The Allison family also has Ayrshire and crossbred cattle.

Noah" sets to flood the box office and because of some controversy, it should do just that. But it does have to beat the power of "Divergent" to do it. "Noah" will win but it will not make what "Divergent" made last weekend. It has made $1.6 million going in to the weekend.
Which leads to the idea of what it means to be a blockbuster. The ads for "Noah," suggest this is the first must-see blockbuster of the year. If that is the case, what the heck was "Divergent"? That film zoomed in and banked $54 million. The projection for "Noah" is not that high yet it is "epic"?
"Divergent" is awash in popularity and had a solid win last weekend. But, "Noah" comes in with a not-so solid Biblical tale of the man who built an Ark to save the world, and its animals. Picking humans who would later populate the Earth once more, the tale is well known. But, the way it is told is the key here.
So much so that a disclaimer is being attached. Although Hollywood should not be looked at as a history lesson (unless one likes the history, that is), a disclaimer of this magnitude is odd. Here is the disclaimer: The film is inspired by the story of Noah. While artistic license has been taken, we believe that this film is true to the essence, values, and integrity of a story that is a cornerstone of faith for millions of people worldwide. The biblical story of Noah can be found in the book of Genesis.*
The movie tries hard to bring the viewer in and then come the rock people ("The Watchers"). For a moment, one may think they ended up in "The Transformers" theater. Oh, they help Noah build the ark and protect him. Noah is a madmen who would rather kill his family than let them live and start over. There is a stowaway on the boat. Oh, there's more. Right when one thinks it is turning into a deep spiritual movie, it goes back to being one weird event.
"Noah" stars Russell Crowe as Noah and also stars Jennifer Connelly, Emma Watson and Anthony Hopkins, among others.
1. "Noah" - 3,567 theaters
2. "Sabotage" - 2,486 theaters
3. "Cesar Chavez" - 664 theaters
4. "The Raid 2" - 7 theaters
The film paints a more environmental Noah and less a Biblical one and this one should split down the usual political party lines but, this time it is deeper. It is beginning to show that Hollywood indeed can be and is often hostile to religious folk. Yes, most movies take liberties and this is one of them.
In the end, look for this when the film gets described. It is "visually stunning" and "it looks good" on screen. That is a way of ignoring the controversy. Movies that are good to look at often fall in its plot and story development. The acting is usually solid as well, but is wasted because the film "looks good."
But, it also doesn't help that its director is on record noting that this is not a Biblical Noah. Darren Aronofsky indicated that this film is "the least biblical film ever made." Let the flood begin, on both sides. Actually, it already has.
Meanwhile, Arnold Schwarzenegger is back in "Sabotage" to less fanfare. Less fanfare in this report, too. Let's move on. Oh, he takes on drug cartels. With "Cesar Chavez," it is the per screen average that will be eyed. Michael Pena stars as Chavez. His non-violent battle for the farm worker gets big screen attention.
"The Raid 2" indicates that there was a first one. There was. It is a genre film for fans of that genre for sure.
* The disclaimer is for the promos.

Police impersonator lured migrants into home to perform sex acts, threatened deportation
A security guard posing as a police officer was luring migrants into doing sexual acts and threatening deportation if they didn't comply, according to a San Francisco Chronicle article.
Police reportedly found two men who spoke little English who were lured into Jeffrey Bugai's home. Bugai was said to have handcuffed or drugged the men and forced them to perform.
The San Francisco Chronicle says police believe there may be more victims who have yet to come forward. Victims may be scared to admit their involvement because they were told they would be reported to police or deported if they told authorities or refused Bugai.
Bugai plead not guilty, but has been known to impersonate authorities before. Local prosecutors say Bugai has impersonated a health worker at least three times, according to the Chronicle.
The suspect has reportedly been part of other incidents with authorities and has identified himself as being employed in positions of power when he may not have been.

Javelina have become a problem in certain areas of the United States. They are ferocious eaters, populate quickly and have a negative impact on most all animals as well as the local environment. The following list represents just some of the problems associated with this animal.
Related articles: ARMADILLO BADGER FERAL PIGS GROUNDHOGS MARMOTS OPOSSUM PORCUPINE RABBIT RACCOON SKUNK
Other information: PEST ARTICLES
1) They compete with most native animals for a limited food supply.
2) They will eat most animal young like turtles or ground dwelling birds.
3) They will readily forage on poultry and small cattle like lambs or goats.
4) When natural food isn't available, Javelina will forage on local gardens or crops. Their impact can be fast and extreme resulting in tremendous losses to any farmers harvest.
5) They love to feed on young plants, seedlings, trees, nuts and vital components significant to the way plants and trees replenish themselves in our landscape. Additionally, they will damage existing forests with their "rooting" and "rubbing" behaviors.
6) They love to "wallow" in local ponds, lakes or streams which in turn can lead to erosion as well as have detrimental effects on water quality which in turn will impact local aquatic life.
7) They carry all kinds of bacteria and germs and because of their normal behaviors pose a real contamination threat.
8) They can be dangerous. Though mostly shy, Javelina have been known to attack people or domestic animals.
There are a few javelina repellents that can be used to keep them out of the yard when local problems are small and not too extreme. These include bad tasting liquid sprays, sound and water sprayers.
For mild feral javelina problems where you've found them foraging in your yard or garden and damaging plants in the landscape, there are a couple of repellents you might be able to employ that will keep them away. The first is a bad tasting spray that can be applied to any shrub, bush or flower. Created for deer and rabbits, DEER OFF is a concentrate that is mixed with water and then sprayed using any standard PUMP SPRAYER. It's been found to work on javelina too as long as there aren't too many around and there is an alternative food supply available close by.
Deer Off: http://www.bugspraycart.com/repellents/liquid/deer-and-rabbit-away-gallon
Pump Sprayer: http://www.bugspraycart.com/good/pump-sprayers
Another device that can be employed is the MOTION ACTIVATED WATER SPRAYER. Basically these units are set out in areas of the yard where javelina are active. They have motion detectors and once turned on and hooked to a water supply, they can protect an area in the yard that is being targeted by local javelina. Once the javelina walk into the range of the sensor, water will start spraying out effectively chasing them away. Javelina are normally skittish and sensitive to anything abruptly spraying water and making a hissing sound and will avoid areas where these devices are deployed and going off.
Scare Crow: http://www.bugspraycart.com/repellents/visual/scare-crow
Lastly, ultra sound can be used to repel javelina. This is because javelina are naturally sensitive to these devices and if you set some up in the area of the yard or garden where you don't want javelina activity, you can keep them away. Just make sure to set the units to constantly run and for this to happen, you'll need to power them by the included ac adapter so electricity will be needed. YARD GARDS are weather proof and can be mounted on a wood pole or stake at ground level so they can be set where they'll provide the best overall protection.
Yard Guard: http://www.bugspraycart.com/repellents/sound/usd-acbatt-yard-gard-49
Because of all the problems associated with wild Javelina, farmers and land owners alike will many times have to do some Javelina control. Javelina can grow large and because of their size and shape, there aren't many options available for managing local nuisance animals. There are no registered poisons or repellents and the only proven method of controlling this animal is with a trap.
There are two kinds of traps commonly used for javelina. Known as "leg-holds", these are styles that have long been used by traditional trappers who hunt beaver, mink, muskrat, etc. These devices work by "catching" target animals on their legs. Trap sets must be made where the Javelina are known to be active and foraging. Depending on the size of the Javelina targeted, use either COIL #3 or COIL # 5 traps. These are the easiest to set and deploy.
Coil Trap #3: http://www.bugspraycart.com/traps/coil/coil-3
Coil Trap #5: http://www.bugspraycart.com/traps/coil/coil-5
The more traditional Javelina control leg hold trap is the Longspring. It's a bit more difficult to deploy but works just as well. Again, animal size will determine the trap size needed. In most cases, a LONGSPRING # 3 or LONGSPRING # 5 will do the job.
Long Spring # 3: http://www.bugspraycart.com/traps/long-spring/long-spring-3
Long Spring #4: http://www.bugspraycart.com/traps/long-spring/long-spring-4
Long Spring #5: http://www.bugspraycart.com/traps/long-spring/long-spring-5
In most cases there is no need to bait these sets but if you place some corn out along a pathway you know is being used, leghold traps can be set in line with the corn. This insures one will step into your set. But you can get success without bait if you're confident of the trails being used. For a blind set, use camouflaging around them and place as many as possible out which will increase the odds of getting a hit.
Javelina can grow large and are quite strong. For this reason leghold traps must be anchored to a big and secure tree to insure they aren't taken away by animals getting caught. You can attempt to use a dead log but several cinder blocks will usually do the job even better if no tree is present.
Another device used on javelina are SNARES. Get the largest ones used for lions and bears because Javelina will test the strength of the cables like any large animal. Like the leghold traps, snares can be placed in pathways or trails where javelina are active and no baiting is needed to make a set. Targeted animals can be caught by the leg but it is more common and easier to catch them around their head. Like the leghold traps, you must anchor your snare to a large, mature tree to insure the cable isn't hauled away.
Snare: http://www.bugspraycart.com/traps/snap-snare-and-tunnel/snare-6-pack
Lastly, the most effective method of catching Javelina is with a live trap. THE JAVELINA TRAP is one of the best traps on the market and can catch several javelina with just one set. For small Javelina, the JAVELINA TRAP JUNIOR will do the job. But if you have an ATV and would like to transport your trap and catch, get the JAVELINA TRAP WITH ATV HITCH AND WHEELS. Fill it with corn as the online video explains and you'll be able to manage local populations efficiently.
Hog Trap: http://www.bugspraycart.com/traps/cage/hog-trap-original-4-x-4-x-7-5
Hog Trap Jr: http://www.bugspraycart.com/traps/cage/hog-trap-junior
Hog Trap ATV: http://www.bugspraycart.com/traps/cage/hog-trap-4-x-4-x-7-5-atv
Javelina have made a big impact on regions where they are now established. If you have nuisance javelina that need to be removed, you'll need to do some trapping. Leghold or snare type traps can work but The Javelina Trap is probably your best option for long term maintenance and population control.

Family holds sentimental father-daughter wedding day after terminal cancer diagnosis
A young woman in a white, flowing wedding dress walking down the aisle with her father, dressed in a formal tuxedo.
It's a traditional scene and one that almost every woman looks forward to in her lifetime.
Whitney Moore, a 20-year-old woman, was able to walk down the aisle with her dad on her special "wedding" day.
Moore didn't plan on getting married on her wedding day, isn't married, isn't expected to be getting married and didn't meet another special man at the end of the aisle.
Moore wanted the special occasion so her 68-year-old father, who only has a few months left to live after struggling with terminal cancer, could be able to attend his daughter's wedding and walk her down the aisle, according to ABC News .
The two said their vows at the end of the aisle. Each wrote heartfelt messages that they wanted to tell the other before it was too late.
"I have no regrets with my daddy," Moore told ABC News. "I have said what I wanted to say. I told him what he needed to know. And there's no shame. I believe that everything happens for a reason and God doesn't give you anything that you can't handle."
Moore's father gave her a special sentimental gift, an engraved box with her childhood nickname and a silver ring to commemorate their love.
Moore hopes that when she does get married, her father will be there to celebrate, but if he is not, she knows he will be there in spirit.
ABC News says the family has a family trip coming up in August where they will hopefully fulfill another bucket list to-do with her teenage brother.
Moore's father is hoping to take her brother to the beach where they can enjoy the water and try to catch a shark.

Dartmouth woman Catie Miller is still missing, and this Sunday report (Aug. 17) shares that her loved ones are continuing the search for her. Flyers showing the missing woman's face are still being handed out and plastered around the area. Meanwhile, the investigation behind her disappearance is being "played close to the chests" of the police investigating her case. That means her loved ones are essentially as in the dark as the public when it comes to information about Catie's disappearance. John Miller, Catie's father, said the following:
"They [detectives] will inform us of anything significant. We have a liaison representative from the police who we can communicate with if we have questions, or if they want to tell us anything."
Catie vanished just over a month ago, and it's reportedly out of her character to go missing like this. She is a responsible worker -- a trained electrician -- and the mother of a three-year-old child. None of her accounts (bank, social media or Netflix) have been accessed since she vanished. All of these details indicate the very clear possibility that she met some kind of foul play, or is otherwise not missing on her own free will. So what happened to her? What are the possibilities?
The details of the case are pretty slim. Catie (also known as Catherine Miller) sent a text to her stepmother at around 11:11 a.m., on July 15, 2014. That was the last known contact anyone has had with the missing woman since that day. She had recently moved to an apartment on Windmill Road and Stairs Street in Dartmouth, Nova Scotia so her new daily routine hasn't been established yet. However, it's known that she did not drive; She frequently used buses and cabs. Since her family doesn't know what her established routine was at the time of her disappearance, it's pretty much impossible to rule out foul play. We don't know if she was being followed or if one of her neighbors in the area had nefarious motives.
Social media is playing a large role in the search for Catie Miller, with the hashtag #FindCatieMiller becoming popular, and the official Facebook page dedicated to her case reaching as many as 1,950 follwers. Hopefully this wide media and social media attention can get some help in the search for Catie, and if there are any suspects out there who may have done something to her this social media push could end up reaching their own backyards. Anything is possible when you have the power of people, united, to find a loved one or solve a case.

The unmanned Progress 5 craft linked up to the aft docking port of the Zvezda Service Module at 4:51 a.m. Central time (951 GMT) after an automated two-day excursion following its launch Tuesday from the Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan. The docking occurred over Central Asia.
Within a few minutes after docking, hooks and latches were commanded to close between the Progress and Zvezda, forming a hard mate and a tight seal between the two craft. Hatches between the two vehicles will be opened later today, enabling Station Commander Frank Culbertson, Pilot Vladimir Dezhurov and Flight Engineer Mikhail Tyurin to unload some 3000 pounds of supplies and personal effects.
The arrival of the Progress vehicle at the Station sets the stage for the launch of the next module for the outpost next month --- the Russian Docking Compartment named Pirs, the Russian word for pier. The Docking Compartment will automatically link up to the nadir, or earthward facing docking port of Zvezda two days after launch, providing an additional docking port for future Russian vehicles arriving at the ISS.
At the Kennedy Space Center, Expedition Two Commander Yury Usachev and Flight Engineers Jim Voss and Susan Helms are in excellent shape, readapting to gravity and enjoying life back on Earth after167 days in space, 163 days of which were spent aboard the ISS. They are scheduled to return to Ellington Field in Houston late this afternoon with their Discovery crewmates, Commander Scott Horowitz, Pilot Rick Sturckow and Mission Specialists Pat Forrester and Dan Barry following yesterday's landing of Discovery at the Florida spaceport.
In addition to attending to the newly arrived Progress craft, the Expedition Three crew continues to oversee a variety of science investigations.
The International Space Station (ISS) is orbiting at an altitude averaging 240 miles (385 km).

When installing new windows, it's important to consider your climate. Effective windows will keep the heat out during summer and the cold out during winter. Many people buy new windows especially so they can better protect the indoor climate of their home. If you live in a mixed or moderate climate, the following window choices may be effective solutions for your home.
Window Specifications
According to window experts, people who live in mixed climates should shop for windows that are "NFRC-certified [with a] U-factor less than or equal to 0.40." (1) Consumers should note that a low U-factor means less heat is transferred. Also, consumers should look for a window with "NFRC-certified SHGC [that is] less than or equal to 0.40." This type of window can actually help decrease air conditioning costs and even provides added comfort during seasons like spring and fall. A low solar heat gain coefficient and a low U-factor will enhance your home's energy efficiency and, of course, its comfort.
Energy-Efficient Windows
For moderate and mixed climates, energy efficient windows will make a tremendous difference in your energy costs throughout the year. Be sure that the windows you select have weather stripping at the movable joints. In addition, windows should be manufactured with durable materials and feature window-edge spacers between the windows' glazing. Of course, it helps to shop for windows that boast an energy-efficient label and are specifically designed with energy efficiency in mind.
Design for Your Climate
Passive design features such as those that exist in new windows will help you to work with your climate and not against it. Your air conditioning unit, for instance, will have to work less hard when your windows prevent solar energy from seeping inside and warming up the interior. Similarly, an adequate window barrier also keeps heat indoors so your furnace doesn't need to kick on quite so frequently. When thinking about new windows, you should first consider your climate before making your selection.
Specialty Windows
Many homeowners prefer to work with a local specialty window provider. Consulting a local expert means that your window supplier is perfectly versed with all aspects of your climate. You can "find out which product will offer the best value and performance" (2) for your needs. Your specialty window supplier has access to leading brands that are known for their energy-efficiency. Be sure to ask about brands like Great Lakes, Comfort Design, LBL, and Superior.
When you choose windows that are designed with a mixed and moderate climate in mind, you can safeguard the interior environment of your home and better support your home's energy efficiency. When you invest in new windows, you should feel a difference in your home right away. You'll note that your home may be cooler in summer and warmer in winter. New windows are an excellent investment for your home that can even add value. Consult with your supplier to select windows that are ideal for your climate as well as your home.

09 December 2005
Two takes on the news that at least eight major megachurches have cancelled their Sunday services for Christmas day. Laurie Goodstein, of The New York Times, has the more thorough report, both for the snicker-worthy substitutes offered for worship — a "heartwarming" Christmas story DVD produced by Willow Creek Community Church (congregation: 20,000); an online streaming video service provided by the New Birth Missionary Baptist Church (25,000 members), in case congregants "'want to join their family around the computer and worship with us'" — as well as for the picture Goodstein sketches of the conflict of megachurches striving to be the most user- and family-friendly, and thereby placing convenience above religious obligation. The Washington Times is more forgiving — heavy on quotes from pastors emphasizing the family-focus of their churches, and the need of many of their congregants to travel — though, like the NY Times, it also has a section for peeved Catholics and Episcopalians, dumbfounded by the decision to close church on Christmas, and ever-so-slightly sanctimonious in their offers to welcome abandoned megachurch congregants into their own churches on Sunday, December 25, where service is held "'every Sunday come hell or high water.'"
