Snakes sold at PetSmart are carnivores and should be fed an appropriate-sized rodent. PetSmart recommends that you feed your snake frozen mice (called "Arctic Mice" in PetSmart stores) or rats, which are considered safer for your snake. Feeding frozen, thawed prey reduces the chances of disease and parasites in snakes and reduces chances for injury. Most juvenile snakes will start out on "pinkie mice," the smallest variety of frozen mice. You should increase the size of the mice as your snake grows. As a general rule, the diameter of the snake should be consistent with the diameter of the prey.
Juvenile snakes should be fed twice a week where as adults are fed once a week. If your snake doesn't eat within four hours, remove the food from the habitat. Snakes may not eat immediately prior to and during shedding. Give your snake some alone time to digest after feeding. If a snake is handled too soon after eating, it may regurgitate the meal or become more difficult to feed.
Your snake will need a water dish for drinking and soaking in. Use a heavy dish that's shallow and tip proof.
If you find your snake lying in the dish, he may be preparing to shed and you should double check that the humidity in the habitat is at the appropriate levels.

... when left-wing rioters are breaking windows at Jamba Juice and Velvet Underground.
Ever since I first visited the San Francisco Bay Area in 1968, I realized these people were a little off. They can't figure out who they're mad at - though I'm willing to concede that perhaps Jamba Juice is a John Birch Society front group.

The Stetson volleyball team was unable to capitalize on three match point opportunities allowing Florida Atlantic to escape with a 3-2 victory (22-25, 25-17, 25-20, 25-22, 17-15) Friday evening at the Stetson Clarion Classic. Earlier in the day Central Arkansas (5-0) remained undefeated on the season with a 3-0 (25-17, 25-14, 25-18) victory over the Hatters (1-5).
In the nightcap, a raucous Edmunds Center crowd of 375 saw the Hatters rally from a 2-1 match deficit and a 6-3 disadvantage in the fifth set. Junior Kaley Melville went on a tear, netting four of her career-high 19 kills, and redshirt freshman Morgan Pautsch added back-to-back kills to give Stetson an 11-8 lead.
FAU (1-1) cut that lead to 13-12 when Ellen Hawks and Catherine Coston assisted on a block to give Stetson two match points. The Owls were able to fight back to tie the score 14-14, but a kill from Coston put Stetson ahead once again 15-14. FAU battled back once last time and eventually pulled out the 17-15 victory.
"We had many opportunities to win the fifth set," Stetson head coach Tim Loesch said. "We have a young team that has got to figure out how to win, how to execute basic fundamentals in pressure situations, and we didn't do it today. But give FAU a lot of credit, they executed when we didn't and they earned the win."
Melville added 16 digs to her career-high 19 kills to pick up her fourth double-double of the season. Coston, making her Hatter debut Friday, finished with 13 kills and five blocks. Kelli Carneal (25 assists) and Kayla Weller (21 assists) both went over the 20 assist mark, Monique Russell collected 16 digs and three aces, Taylor Story picked up 11 digs, and Ellen Hawks put down five blocks.
"Mel and Catherine were our big leaders offensively, and Monique was our steadiest player in both matches today," Loesch said. "Overall we did some good things, we came out strong and I liked the way we came back in the fourth set."
The Hatters won the opening set for the fourth time this season, but they have yet to follow that up with a win in set two.
"Hopefully we can find a solution to that tomorrow," Loesch said.
In the Central Arkansas match, Coston led the Hatters with seven kills, while Melville and Russell each picked up 11 digs.
In other matches on Friday, Central Arkansas defeated Hampton 3-0, Wofford defeated both Florida Atlantic and Hampton by 3-1 scores.
The tournament concludes Saturday as Stetson will face Wofford at 1 p.m. and Hampton at 5 p.m.

Nuclear desarmament - Explanation
of vote
Response to the sponsors of the "nuclear-weapon-free southern hemisphere" initiative
We remain concerned that the thrust of the draft resolution is to prepare the ground for the establishment of the southern hemisphere as a nuclear-weapon-free zone. Since all land territory in the southern hemisphere, with the exception of a few small islands, is already covered by nuclear-weapon-free zones, the only new areas that such a zone could cover would be the high seas. Many delegations assert that this is not the intention of the draft resolution and point out that it makes reference to the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea. But if the new zone will not cover the high seas, then what will it add to the existing zones? Thus we can only conclude that the true aim of some sponsors is indeed to create a new zone that covers international waters. Such a step would be inconsistent with international law and unacceptable to all delegations that respect the law of the sea.
Despite that and other, lesser problems, we acknowledge that the sponsors of draft resolution A/C.1/53/L.37 made some useful improvements to this years text, although these changes were still not enough to overcome our general concern about the purpose of the draft resolution. We hope that next year the sponsors will be able to offer a text that satisfies all of us. We stand ready to continue to work with them with to that end.
I wish to emphasize that our vote on
this draft resolution should in no way call into question our firm commitment
to the Treaties of Tlatelolco, Rarotonga, Pelindaba and the Antarctic,
nor do we have any objections in principle to the establishment of new
nuclear-weapon-free zones, which can make an important contribution to
both regional and global security provided they are supported by all States
in the region concerned and are embodied in appropriate treaties that include
provisions for full-scope International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) safeguards.

Meacham et al1 reported a significantly increased risk of diabetes mellitus (DM) following abdominal irradiation for childhood cancer, separate from the effect of total irradiation. Prompted by this finding of an increased risk of DM, we examined the risk of death from diabetes in a cohort of patients with peptic ulcers, who were treated with high-dose abdominal radiation to decrease acid secretion.
This cohort study, originally initiated to investigate the long-term cancer risk associated with radiation,2,3 consisted of 1832 irradiated and 1868 nonirradiated patients with peptic ulcers (treated by other means) at the University of Chicago from 1937 to 1965. Individual radiation doses were estimated to specific organs from radiotherapy records and phantom experimental measurements. Doses to the pancreas ranged from 1 to 38 Gy (to convert to rads, multiply by 100), which is the equivalent of 1000 to 38 000 mSv (1 chest radiograph = 0.1 mSv). The mean age at treatment was 49 years for irradiated and 45 years for nonirradiated patients. Individuals were followed up from the time of treatment for peptic ulcer until death or censored alive as of December 31, 1997. Causes of death were obtained by linking the cohort with the National Death Index. At the end of follow-up, 84% of irradiated and 81% of nonirradiated patients had died.
Thirty persons had died from DM (underlying cause), with 19 in the irradiated and 11 in the nonirradiated group. Using the proportional hazard method, we estimated the relative risk (hazard ratio) of death due to DM by pancreatic dose category after adjusting for age at treatment and attained age. We found a significantly increased risk, with a hazard ratio of 3.79 (95% confidence interval, 1.2-12.0) for the highest-dose category (17-38 Gy) compared with the nonirradiated group (Table). The increased risk at the highest-dose category was observed both within and after 15 years of radiation treatment, but the risk was statistically significant only for 15-or-more-year survivors. Because of the small number of deaths from DM, a detailed analysis of the radiation dose response was not possible, and the data were unclear about the risk at lower doses.
Although the data from Meacham et al1 and ours differ in several respects, our results agree with the finding of an increased risk of DM following high-dose abdominal irradiation. In the study by Meacham et al,1 the patients were irradiated during childhood, whereas the patients with peptic ulcers were irradiated much later in life, mostly at ages 30 years or older. The abdominal dose received by the patients in the study by Meacham et al1 is assumed to be 20 to 30 Gy, whereas in our study, the increased risk of DM was found in those receiving 8 to 31 Gy to the pancreas (mean, 14.6 Gy). Doses to distant organs, such as the brain, were negligible. The association of DM following total body irradiation in children and adults has been documented,4,5 but less well known is the occurrence of DM following abdominal, or more specifically, pancreatic irradiation. Our previous studies3 showed radiation-related risks of pancreatic and gastric cancers in the patients with peptic ulcers. The effect of dying from these fatal cancers, if any, would have been to reduce the number of persons dying from DM in the high-radiation dose group. A small case series reported that DM occurred 6 to 20 years later in 4 of 5 adults who received abdominal radiation for either Hodgkin lymphoma or testis cancer.6 In the study by Meacham et al,1 DM was considered mostly type 2 based on medication history. As we ascertained DM from death certificate information, unresolved questions in our study relate to the type of DM involved or response to insulin treatment, which reflects the degree of pancreatic cell damage from radiation at high-dose levels.
In conclusion, our data provide additional evidence of the association between DM and high-dose pancreatic radiation but leave some questions unresolved, ie, the extent of pancreatic cell damage involved and the risk of DM at lower doses, both of which are important for both clinical practice and public health. Further research is needed to clarify these issues.

The pair – who met in October 2008 in Rapid City, S.D., while performing on the NBC special Skating & Gymnastics Spectacular – have been close friends since last summer.
"We met a couple of years ago at a gymnastics and skating show," Liukin says. "We've gotten to know each other really well and [are] able to connect because there's nothing like the Olympics. We both know what it takes to try for the ultimate dream of being an Olympic champion."
After meeting, "We just became really good friends and become really close since then," adds Lysacek. They attended the ESPYs together last July, and in August, Lysacek went to Dallas to cheer on Liukin during her gymnastics comeback at the U.S. Nationals. "It was cool but nerve-racking watching her compete – to be on the balance beam like that? For me, it's easier to do it then watch it," says Lysacek, 24.
They switched roles this week when Liukin, 20, traveled to Vancouver to root for Lysacek. "To see his dreams come true was amazing," Liukin says. "It was nice to be on other side of things and be the support system, but I was nervous."
"She been so helpful to me," adds Lysacek. "She has been through it herself. If I'm having a bad day, she tells me to have faith and to keep going. Sometimes your support system has more faith in you than yourself. And when she tells me things are going to be fine, I really believe it."
Handling ControversyThis week was no exception. After Lysacek's victory, the Russian delegation complained that silver medalist Evgeni Plushenko should have won because he completed a quadruple jump and Lysacek did not, even though the Olympic judges' scores revealed that Lysacek had the better all-around long program and superior jumps, spins and footwork to Plushenko.
"I think he's handling the controversy well," says Liukin, who lives in Dallas and travels to L.A. to visit Lysacek and work on business projects. "You work your hardest all year and when have something like that happen to you, it crushes you a little bit. Evan was a little upset, and I told him, 'You have worked your entire life and you have achieved the biggest reward in your sport, so enjoy every aspect of it.' "
After Lysacek's win, they did. When they're together in L.A., says Liukin, "We hang out, go to dinner and movies, and lay low. We have similar personalities – we're both laid back."
In Vancouver, however, they have been going non-stop since Thursday night, when the celebration started at the USA House with friends, family and members of the USOC. On Saturday, they helped host a small gathering at the Procter and Gamble Family Home in Vancouver, which put on a birthday party for Lysacek's father, Don, and his uncle, who are twins.

Studio acquires rights to courtroom drama
Sony Pictures Classics has acquired North American rights to helmer Nikita Mikhalkov's courtroom drama "12," a loose adaptation of Sidney Lumet's 1957 morality tale "12 Angry Men."
Set in contemporary Russia, the film concerns a young Chechen boy on trial for killing his adoptive father.
Jumping in front of the camera, Mikhalkov plays one of the jurors, a group of ethnic Slavs divided by "racism and prejudice" who must determine the boy's guilt or innocence. Mikhalkov penned the script along with Vladimir Moiseenko and Alexander Novostky, based on the original screenplay by Reginald Rose. The Mikhalkov pic is Oscar nominated for foreign-language film.

For the third part to his Yatra trilogy, which focuses on lost Buddhist traditions of Southeast Asia, John Bush made a pilgrimage into Tibet, bringing with him his video camera and a desire to show an exclusive look at the region's culture on its way out of existence. He traveled throughout the occupied land, visiting temples and festivals, as though he were simply a tourist, but he was able to capture and expose what has been done and what is being done to the area, as no documentary has done before.
Tragically, the end result is in the form of Vajra Sky Over Tibet, a disappointing film that is one part travelogue and one part disorganized montage. It suffers from being too personally involved and also from being impersonal in tone and structure. According to the filmmaker it would suggest a movement to save Tibet, acknowledging that the popular movement to free it has passed, but it is unsuccessful at communicating anything progressive. There is a relative hopelessness about it, and it unfortunately does a bit of disservice to the land and its people. In wanting to save Tibet, Bush seems to concentrate on its inhabitants' individual rights by pushing for emphasis on religious freedom within the occupation, rather than gaining independence from it. He also urges for the preservation of the memory of Tibet before it is lost completely. The thing is, Vajra Sky Over Tibet is like a museum exhibit, treating its subject like it is already gone, leaving only what the camera was able to store on tape in order to unveil what once was. Bush occasionally shows us the people there, mostly those on pilgrimages themselves, but for the most part the film is motionless, giving the feeling that its images are stuck in time rather than still existing in it. Generally the footage is like a miserable slideshow, presenting object after object and location after location as if they were merely relics of an extinct civilization.
There's nothing worse than having something interesting presented in a way that is boring, and Bush manages to do this with Tibetan Buddhism. Vajra Sky Over Tibet is like the most tedious art history lecture, focusing on close-ups of cultural artifacts, and giving long winded explanations of what they represent. I would compare it to a series of vacation snapshots, except there is no personality to the images or the narration.
Vajra Sky Over Tibet is narrated primarily by the director, whose voice is low and monotonous and has an air of pointlessness. He doesn't sound passionate about what he's saying, even though the subject matter is obviously very dear to him. As he discusses some history of Tibet, he doesn't include any imagery that could be associated with what he's talking about, as he doesn't use archival footage or anything else besides what he has shot on the trip. Unfortunately my train of thought with cinema is more likely to focus on the visual than the audio, and with little more than close-ups of paintings, random shots of flowers and trees and grainy video of the should-be-breathtaking landscape, even the visual had difficulty vying for my attention.
I was shocked with the irony that in Sanskrit, the word "vajra" means "thunderbolt of awakening". I don't think that I have ever seen a film so sleep-inducing as Vajra Sky Over Tibet, and I'm rather proud that I was able to stay alert through its seemingly endless 89 minutes. With a film so disconnected and so randomly organized, which certainly could have been edited in any sort of order and still made little difference, the running time is thankfully short in comparison to what could have been culled from a travel video's worth of footage.
I mean no offense to the Tibetan people when I say I was bored with the film. Their culture and their arts are actually quite beautiful and thankfully this one film hasn't put me off from knowing more about them. It is only Bush who is to blame. Any subject at all could be presented this way and lose the concentration and appreciation of its audience by the end. There are only so many paintings and statues and paintings and statues of Buddhist mythology that can be looked at before becoming temporarily sick of them.
With Vajra Sky Over Tibet, John Bush has possibly made the worst kind of documentary. Though it could be defended as educational or informative, there are surely better forms of media with which to communicate its teachings and its facts. As for the visuals, they aren't engrossing or memorable; and at worst they allow for the Tibetan culture to be represented as anything but interesting. Much of what is seen in the film is significant, just not in the succession of a documentary, or this one anyway.
The film fails because it gives no evidence of what needs saving. Without more of an inside voice from the people (to avoid reprisals there were no interviews conducted) or even a real sense of the present life, there is nothing that gives reasons why we should, only things that seem to give reasons why we should've.

University of Michigan freshman golfer Chris O'Neill, a Deep Run High School graduate, was named the Big Ten conference Golfer of the Week Oct. 17, following his career-best performance at the Alister MacKenzie Invitational Oct. 15-16. It is the first conference accolade of his career.
O'Neill, who tied for 14th individually at the MacKenzie Invitational, recorded his second top-20 and lowered his career-best 54-hole tournament total by eight shots with his three-under 210. He bettered the 218 he posted earlier this season at the Windon Memorial Classic, held Sept. 23-24.
En route to the career-best tally, he carded a career-best two-under 69 in the first round, following with a one-under 70 in the second and an even-par 71 in the third. All three of his rounds at the MacKenzie Invitational topped his previous career-best round total of 72 shot in the first and second rounds of the Windon Memorial Classic.
Overall, O'Neill's three-under 210 is the lowest 54-hole event total by a freshman since Joey Garber posted a four-under 209 in the 2011 NCAA Central Regional -- a span of 16 tournaments.

The Kansas City Chiefs' trade for Alex Smith gives the notion that they believe he can be the future franchise quarterback. Four years ago the Chiefs signed Matt Cassel because they thought the same thing.
It didn't happen.
While Smith may be an upgrade over Cassel, Brady Quinn and whoever else the lowly Chiefs used last year, the fact remains he is the same type of quarterback as those players. He's not going to go out there and put a team on his back nor can he be relied on to throw the ball upwards of 40 times a game.
Smith is a game manager, somebody you bring in to guide you team to the playoffs. Not lead them there.
Here's why Kansas City's trade for Smith will doom them both.

New York, NY, January 23, 2004ů The Anti-Defamation League (ADL) today praised the Binghamton Police Department for undertaking a training program on Hate Crimes, Extremism, and Cultural Sensitivity. The partnership and training, together with the Office of the New York State Attorney General (OAG), arose out of a series of bias incidents and extremist group activity around the Binghamton area.
"By taking concrete steps to fight bigotry, the Binghamton Police are leading the charge against racism, anti-Semitism, and all forms of bigotry", said Joel J. Levy, ADL New York Regional Director. "The trainings were very successful and we look forward to continuing a productive relationship with the Binghamton Police Department."
The training included officers of the Binghamton Police Department and other police agencies throughout Broome County. ADL experts provided an overview of the right wing and anti-government extremist movements currently active in the United States and presentations on neo-Nazi and skinhead groups in the region. OAG Civil Rights experts provided a thorough explanation of the New York State Hate Crimes Statute and the importance of a community response to hate crimes.
"The Binghamton Police Department continues to be concerned about issues of racial discrimination and hate crimes," said Binghamton Police Chief John Butler. "We hope this training and a continued dialogue with the residents of Binghamton will help make our city a vibrant place for all residents, regardless of race, religion, ethnicity or sexual orientation."
"I want to thank Chief John Butler for inviting our Civil Rights Bureau and the Anti-Defamation League to conduct training on New York's Hate Crimes statue," said Dennis C. McCabe, Assistant Attorney General, Binghamton office. "Hate Crimes are not only an attack on an individual, but on our entire community. I hope that this training and the investigation and enforcement of Hate Crimes will help reduce crimes motivated by bias."
Please contact ADL for more information about our Extremism and Hate Crime Training for Law Enforcement Professionals.

Box Office: 'Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps' closes trading at just $19 million
In financial terms, "Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps" opened to a good $19 million and the top slot at this weekend's box office, but if the movie were a stock after hours trading would be bad for the 20th Century Fox drama. Oliver Stone's sequel to his 1987 hit was actually expected to perform in the mid to high 20's. Instead, Hollywood insiders were puzzled at what is Shia LaBeouf's lowest opening since the animated "Surf's Up" in 2007. The issue? Turns out LaBeouf wasn't able to bring in the younger audiences as anticipated. Instead, over 60% of the film's ticketbuyers were over 35. So much for pre-release polling.
Soaring into the second slot was Zack Snyder's "Legend of the Guardians" with $16.3 million. Considering the inflated 3-D and IMAX tickets prices associated with the animated adventure, Warner Bros. has to be a bit underwhelmed by the Owl adventure's first solo flight.
What WB can be happy this weekend is Ben Affleck's "The Town" which dropped only 33% from its debut with another $16 million. The critically acclaimed thriller has an impressive10 day cume of $49 million which is already double the final gross of Affleck's "Gone Baby Gone."
Also falling just under 40% was Emma Stone's "Easy A" which found another $10.7 million and a new gross of $44 million. That has to be a bit of a relief for Screen Gems which was already facing criticism for the films lower than expected debut.
Putting Walt Disney's most recent romantic comedy and Kristen Bell era to rest was "You Again" which bombed with just $8.3 million. The studio's new management currently has no plans on returning to the genre anytime soon, but perhaps not limiting the film to a PG rating was part of the problem? We believe PG-13 can work for the Walt Disney brand, don't you?
Next week's new releases include "The Social Network" and "Let Me In."
Final box office results are released on Monday.

Oh, hey, whaddaya know? Brandon Jacobs hates the Cowboys.
Tuesday, during our first in a series of weekly interviews for SNY (the video is right here), I asked Jacobs about Ware's comments (he's only the latest in a long line of players on either side to use the "H" word when talking about the other team) and if the feelings were mutual.
"No question," he replied. "I hate the Cowboys with a bloody passion."
I asked him what the difference between a "regular passion" and a "bloody passion" was.
"You want to go into the game as being assassins," he said, referring to the feelings of bloody passion, "instead of tough football players in a game like that."
As an aside, I wonder how automatic this hate is. What I mean is, do you think Chris Canty now fully hates the Cowboys after signing with the Giants? I'd imagine he has some sore feelings after Dallas refused to pay him, but will his hate only fully mature when he sees his former teammates lined up across from him? I wonder...
Anyway, Jacobs and the Giants will be the Cowboys' first opponent in the opening of their new stadium. (I jokingly told the 6-4 Jacobs he'd better be careful not to bump his head on the video board.) Though I'm not sure how much input Jerry Jones & Co. had when it came to scheduling, Jacobs apparently took the Giants' being the first visiting team in the regular season to mean the Cowboys set their date the way colleges do for homecoming.
If that was the case, I would've thought they'd have lined up a cupcake like the Raiders (or SMU) to make sure they'd leave victorious. But it's Jacobs' time to chat, so I'll let him go.
"I'm really, really, really excited for the opportunity to be able to open up their new stadium and play against them," he said. "I'm glad they picked us. I guess it says something about them playing a certain team I guess they thought were the perfect ones to go in there and get their first win (against)."
Jacobs said plenty of interesting stuff during our 5-minute sit-down. He shared a conversation he had with Redskins DT Albert Haynesworth after Sunday's game in which Haynesworth said he didn't mean to take a shot at Jacobs last week and was surprised how his comments were portrayed. Jacobs said he told Haynesworth the most surprising part of the situation was Haynesworth (who's listed at 350 pounds) said he was only 250 in high school.
Jacobs and I also spoke about how he's been able to tone down the trash talk in situations like that. He's been able to get his point across in the past couple of years, but he's not the loose cannon he once was. He said a major reason for that is coach Tom Coughlin. "When you've got a coach in your face all of the time, asking, 'Why did you say that ...'" Jacobs said. He also said some of his teammates have told him he's only making himself a target by firing back like that.
But I thought the most interesting part of the conversation came when I asked him about the injury to RB/KR Danny Ware, who dislocated his elbow on the opening kickoff on Sunday.
"It's tough to see somebody like Danny go down, as close as we are and me knowing how hard he worked," Jacobs said. "But he did a no-no he wasn't supposed to do and I always tell him not to do and he did it. You can't brace yourself for a fall. Nothing good can come of that in the National Football League. Either you fumble the ball or you hurt yourself. He got the worst part of it; I'd rather him fumble the football than have happen what happened to him.
"But it's a learning experience. He saw green grass, he was going down and he tried to stop himself from going down. He tried to put his hand down to stop him from going down and get into the hole he saw, and it didn't work out for him that way."
Finally, he concluded, "He'll be better. He's rehabbing his arm and he'll come back strong."
9 p.m. UPDATE I've been trying to think of examples of guys getting hurt the way Ware did - by putting their arms down when falling. I had been coming up completely dry until I recalled former Eagles quarterback Koy Detmer's dislocating his elbow against the 49ers on a Monday night in 2002. It wasn't identical to Ware's play because Detmer was falling backward, not trying to stay up like Ward, but it was similar and the result was the same. Anyone who saw that play remembers how ghastly the replay was. And what I'll always remember was the way almost all of the San Fran players came out to console Detmer because he had led the Eagles to a stunning upset. They were more than a touchdown underdogs coming in because they had just lost Donovan McNabb to an injury. Nobody thought Detmer could have done what he did in McNabb's absence.
This interview was conducted on a Tuesday because we did it from Tavern on the Green in Central Park as Jacobs and Jets quarterback Kellen Clemens were there taking part in a charity event for Easter Seals. Our interviews will normally be conducted on Thursdays from the Timex Performance Center, so catch them on Thursdays on the 10 p.m. SportsNite.

you can see at least that far. Otherwise I don't think we have a local range of that distance. Any San Antonio folks have one?

how far is Crazy Richard's.......500 yards?
i think that place Tony's up near Florence may have a long range, call David Cheung at the Gun Store if you can't find Tony's contact info. David goes there all the time......
July 5, 2005, 02:36 PM
Crazy Richard's longest was about 340 yards, according to a guy with a laser rangefinder. CR only said it was 500 yards.

Tony's is definatly not 1000 yards.

Hill country rifle range is now only 225 yards max. Apparently a land dispute got the best of him.

that's because according to Crazy Richard the end of the world is September 28 so he isn't going to fight the land dispute with his neighbor.
now if i can only convince him to give me some guns...... :confused:

September 28 was said a few months ago. I am sure it has changed by now. It's probably going to happen sooner ;)

What are direct payments?
A direct payment is one of the ways to receive your personal budget and gives you the greatest level of choice and control over the services you receive.
If you choose direct payments you will receive money to arrange your own support to meet your care needs, instead of adult social care services arranging the support for you. You take responsibility for arranging your services, managing your money and employing staff where required. You can get help to do this.
Direct payments are also available to the parents of children with disabilities who have been assessed as eligible to receive services.
Access to direct payments is through your care manager following the self-directed support process.
Direct payments from our social care and health services are different from the Department of Work and Pensions' Direct Payments, which are about having welfare benefits, and retirement pensions paid into individuals' bank accounts.
What are the benefits of using direct payments?
The benefits of using direct payments are:
- You have greater choice and flexibility over how and when your support needs are met
- You have more control over your life and the way you choose to live it
- You can choose support that helps you to remain more independent
- You can choose who provides your care
Who can receive direct payments?
Anyone who is eligible for support following an assessment will be given a personal budget and can choose to receive the cash sum as direct payments.
There are certain situations when some people may not be able to choose direct payments. These include people who have been placed under certain conditions by the courts for drug or alcohol dependencies and people subject to some mental health or criminal justice laws. We will talk to you about this if it applies.

In Photos: The Lumineers with Soak & Sleepwalker @ the Bomb Factory, Dallas TX
The Lumineers took Dallas to Church Sunday with a sold out performance at the Bomb Factory in Deep Ellum.
A co-headlining tour causes a bit of a mixed bag. On the one hand, each band gets decently full sets. Yet on the other hand, no matter who you came to see, you can't help but wish for more. In the case of the other night's Relient K and Motion City Soundtrack co-headlining show at Emo's in Austin, I was happy to hear so many great songs from each band, but call me spoiled; I couldn't help but wish for even more. With three bands on the bill playing 45 minutes each, it was a great taste of each, but not quite enough to satiate my appetite.
You want to know how to earn loyalty, respect and love from fans in the music world? The Killers know the secret and its an easy one. Simply respect and love your fans right back. The Las Vegas rockers have been touring around ten years now and their live show has grown to perfection. It is more than just a performance for their fans; it's a love letter.
The Midland was packed Sunday night for a strange, but good night of music from the Strangeland tour. The UK's alternative pop rock group was set to headline the evening with big, motivational singalong numbers, but first the audience was introduced to an energetic new rock band from California, Youngblood Hawke.
For a place called the "Music Hall," the Kansas City venue rarely sees a live band performance (it usually hosts theater productions). It's a pity that it doesn't pursue musicians more because it was the perfect setting for the Regina Spektor and Only Son concert.
2012 seems to be the year of the feel-good folk music and as long as that means we keep getting bands like Colorado's The Lumineers, then that's a really good thing.
Most bands save their big hit singles for last…It's a strategy that makes sense if you're worried that people are waiting around to hear that one song and will leave if you play it any sooner. Yet Sunday evening, two's bands took a gamble and played their "big" singles earlier in the set. And guess what? The packed house remained packed. That's how hooked Imagine Dragons and AWOLNATION's fans were on their sets. From the diehards to the casual radio-only listeners, everyone wanted to hear every second of this show; it was that good.
Canadian alt rockers Metric are no strangers to Kansas City, but the popular band has mostly performed as an opening act for Kansas City shows. Finally, the band was playing the city in a much deserved headlining spot and the difference in this performance compared to the other ones in the last few years was astounding. This was Metric's best Kansas City performance to date.
Pop rock band The All-American Rejects treated Kansas City to a special treat: a free show in the Power Light District.
The summer in Kansas City, much like the rest of the country, has been sweltering. For the first two bands at 96.5 the Buzz's Buzz Under the Stars, that sweltering heat showed no signs of going anywhere. But Mother Nature felt like testing the music fans' dedication to the show and rolled in a very large storm. Nearly two hours later, the storm passed with a double rainbow apology and the show would go on, making for one of the most memorable Buzz Under the Stars to date. And no, the irony of it raining just before Garbage played was not lost on anyone.
Counting Crows stopped in Kansas City at Starlight Theater as part of their Outlaw Roadshow tour with Field Report and Kasey Anderson & the Honkies.

Pryor, ranked as the country's No. 1 high school player and quarterback, put off his decision more than a month after the Feb. 6 National Signing Day. He had planned to decide between Ohio State, Michigan, Penn State and Oregon, but said last week that he had narrowed the field to two schools, which he did not identify.
The Post-Gazette said Pryor will make his announcement in the auditorium of his school, Jeannette (Pa.) High.

Coll, thanks for telling us about your fast. I have been thinking of doing a three-four day one, sort of working up to it in my mind, so I am very interested in other people's experiences. I have been low-carb and in ketosis for a while, so I am hoping I could skip over the adjustment phase, and just start feeling fantastic (a girl can dream). I think the main thing I am worried about is food longing, not hunger.
(Oh, and thanks for stopping by my journal! I love guests.)
I have had a few health problems clear up through primal living, and am sure there are other things inside getting better and better- I hope for the same for you.

In 2370, he was listed on the Deep Space 9 arrival roster. (DS9: "Whispers", production art)
This character was apparently named after the American author Stephen Crane, whose most famous work is The Red Badge of Courage. The name was not mentioned in dialogue, it was simply listed in an okudagram graphic of an arrival roster on a viewscreen. The graphic was also populated by a number of other in-jokes.

Considering his team had led Game 1 by two runs and wound up losing by 10, it was an interesting observation. But Maddon's point was that the Red Sox bullpen is a very tough obstacle to overcome, which proved to be true in Boston's 7-4 win Saturday night.
On a night that was far from John Lackey's sharpest, the pen proved mighty enough to keep the Rays from taking a deadlocked series back to Tampa Bay. They are one game from elimination, which is when they play their best, but the Red Sox needed their best pen-manship to take a 2-0 ALDS lead.
This series has not gone according to form. Expected to feature low-scoring games with top-shelf pitching and shining defense, it has evolved into one where offense is a significant part of the show.
In Game 2, the Rays were not just a rival, they were an annoyance. The Red Sox kept boxing around David Price, but Tampa Bay kept pecking away on a night where neither starting pitcher was a star.
Squeezed by plate umpire Eric Cooper in the early innings, Lackey let the leadoff batter reach base in five of his six innings. He still outpitched Price, who had been 6-1 with a 1.88 ERA in 10 career Fenway starts.
David Ortiz hit his first two career home runs off Price, but it was in the fourth inning that Boston really did its thing.
With a 24-pitch inning, they pushed up the pitch count against one of the hardest pitchers to do that against. They continued their crafty use of the Green Monster, which helped turn Stephen Drew's fly ball into an RBI triple.
Part of the Rays' problem is that for all his creative wizardry, manager Joe Maddon is filling left field with guys who are not left fielders. Game 1 nominee Sean Rodriguez is a converted middle infielder who played very little left field until this year.
Game 2 starter David DeJesus is a quality outfielder, but he's mostly a center-right guy.
Maddon's pregame point was a fair one. Tampa Bay snaked through a tiebreaker and then the wild-card game by grabbing the early lead, which kept the Texas and Cleveland bullpens from getting in the Rays' way.
The use of the term "bullpen'' is a bit misleading in this series, anyway. The Rays kept all five of their starters on the playoff roster.
The Red Sox kept six, with Ryan Dempster and Felix Doubront in relief. Manager John Farrell still clung to left-hander Craig Breslow as his security blanket, letting Breslow face righty Evan Longoria and switch-hitter ben Zobrist to escape a seventh-inning jam.
Zobrist is much more dangerous against right-handers. When Dustin Pedroia smartly started an inning-ending double on Zobrist in the seventh, Breslow was done and Sox fans could breathe a little more easily.
The Red Sox bullpen is defined by closer Koji Uehara, but on nights the starter is gone in the sixth, the setup guys have to get him there. That can be an adventure, Maddon's flattering words notwithstanding.
Eighth-inning man Junichi Tazawa pitched in 71 games, with a 3.16 ERA. For a day or two in the pre-Koji era, he was considered the team's closer.
Tazawa can make people nervous. His role as the eighth-inning guy is based partly on the lack of right-handed alternatives, though there are some Brandon Workman fans out there.
On this night, he gave up a hit but also induced a double play, and passed with flying colors. That left it up to Uehara, whose near-perfection in the closer's role is getting a little spooky.
Maddon was right. It's tough to play catch-up against Boston.
The Rays are now in the deepest of holes, which is when have shined. But it's hard to look at what the Red Sox are doing, and how they are doing it, and not have a very good feeling about where this is headed.
What a relief! Red Sox bullpen comes through in Game 2 win

UPDATE 6/14/13: Judge delays approval of $1.1 billion Toyota Unintended Acceleration Class Action Lawsuit Settlement.
Approximately 20 million current and former Toyota owners will begin receiving notice postcards of a class action lawsuit settlement with Toyota Motor Corp. over the unintended acceleration of certain Toyota, Scion and Lexus vehicles.
The estimated $1 billion settlement will resolve a series of class action lawsuits, consolidated in 2010 as In Re: Toyota Motor Corp. Unintended Acceleration Marketing, Sales Practices and Products Liability Litigation. Plaintiffs in the consolidated action allege certain Toyota, Scion and Lexus vehicles equipped with electronic throttle control systems ("ETCS") are defective and can experience acceleration that is unintended by the driver. This has caused the value of these vehicles to plummet, they allege. As a result, the class action lawsuit is pursuing claims for breach of warranties, unjust enrichment, and violations of various state consumer protection statutes due to the economic loss Class Members suffered.
Toyota denies any wrongdoing or that there is any defect in its ETCS, but has agreed to a class action lawsuit settlement to resolve the litigation.
Class Members include any person, entity or organization who, at any time before December 28, 2012, owned, purchased, leased and/or insured for residual value one of the following Toyota, Lexus and Scion vehicles:
If you are a Class Member, you may be entitled to one or more of the following benefits from the Toyota unintended acceleration class action settlement:
Cash Payment:
If the settlement is finally approved (including any appeals resolved in favor of the settlement), Toyota will pay $250 million into a fund for distribution to eligible Class Members who: (a) sold a Subject Vehicle during the period September 1, 2009 to December 31, 2010, inclusive; (b) returned a Subject Vehicle before the lease termination date during the period September 1, 2009 to December 31, 2010, inclusive; or (c) insured and/or guaranteed the residual value of a Subject Vehicle as of September 1, 2009, and with respect to such Subject Vehicle, thereafter either made payment to an insured, or sold the Subject Vehicle, provided such payment or sale was made by a Residual Value Insurer on or before December 31, 2010; or (d) returned a leased Subject Vehicle before the lease termination date after having reported an alleged unintended acceleration event(s) to Toyota, an authorized Toyota Dealer or the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration ("NHTSA"), before December 1, 2012; or (e) had a Subject Vehicle that was declared a total loss by an insurer during the period from September 1, 2009 to December 31, 2010, inclusive.
Payments in this category will depend on the make, model, and model year of the Subject Vehicle, when the Subject Vehicle was sold or returned, the state in which the Class Member resides, the number of claims submitted, and other adjustments and deductions.
If the fund amount is insufficient to cover all claims, payments will be reduced on a pro-rata basis.
The only way to receive money from this fund is to submit a Claim Form by July 29, 2013.
Brake Override System installation:
If the settlement is finally approved, Class Members who currently own or lease certain Subject Vehicles may have a brake override system installed on their vehicle at no cost to them. The brake override system will automatically reduce engine power when the brake pedal and the accelerator pedal are applied simultaneously under certain driving conditions. Toyota will begin to offer this benefit over time, beginning after final approval by the Court.
If you are eligible for this benefit and want to take advantage of it, you will need to take your vehicle to a Toyota/Lexus/Scion authorized dealer. This benefit is available for two years from the date Toyota gives notice that the brake override system is available for a particular eligible Subject Vehicle. Check www.ToyotaELSettlement.com for updates.
Money payment to eligible current owners and lessees in lieu of offer of Brake Override System installation.
If the settlement is finally approved (including any appeals resolved in favor of the settlement), Toyota will pay $250 million into a fund for distribution to eligible Class Members who still own or lease their Subject Vehicles, unless (a) their Subject Vehicle is a hybrid vehicle; (b) they already actually received a brake override system installation on their Subject Vehicle; or (c) they are eligible for the brake override system on their Subject Vehicles described above in section B. This fund will be distributed according to the Plan of Allocation, which is available on this website under the Case Documents tab. Eligible Class Members' payments may range from $37 to $125, depending on the state in which the Class Member resides, the number of claims submitted, and other adjustments and deductions. It is possible that payments will be lower, however, or may be higher, depending upon the number of Claims submitted and other factors, but in no event will exceed $125.
The only way to receive money from this fund is to submit a Claim Form by July 29, 2013.

Generators Hail Withdrawal of Ozone Standard

Published: September 03, 2011
"I have continued to underscore the importance of reducing regulatory burdens and regulatory uncertainty as our economy continues to recover," the President said in a statement released by the White House.
Stephesthe...you are an idiot. If people can't survive in a world with a little ozone, then fine with me. It' called Darwinism and survival of the fittest.

TRENTON - Two major players in the gift-card market announced plans Thursday to pull out of New Jersey rather than comply with a law that lets the state claim the value of unredeemed cards after just two years.
Blackhawk Network and InComm made separate announcements that they would quit doing business in New Jersey in June unless the law is reversed.
The companies - third-party providers of gift cards to malls, groceries, and convenience stores - told the Associated Press it was too hard to comply with the changes in New Jersey's unclaimed-property law. The law requires gift-card sellers to obtain zip codes from buyers so the state can claim the value of unused cards. Without such information, the value of unused cards would revert to the company or to the state in which the company is incorporated.

Are you as excited about the "Gossip Girl" series finale as I am?
Kaylie in Easton
Dear Kaylie,
I hate to burst your bubble (not really), but Pinky's never watched an episode of "Gossip Girl." I've seen a few minutes here and a few minutes there, but that's about it.
I gather (from the TV show's infamous "OMFG" ads) that the series is about rich, attractive teens/young adults having sex, wearing fabulous clothes and occasionally going to school or working in the Big Apple. In short, it's "The O.C." in NYC.
So, in case you haven't guessed yet, I'm not even remotely excited about the series finale. I am, however, interested (but not excited) to see what the show's stars will do next.
Blake Lively has been on Pinky's radar since "Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants" and is likely to stay there thanks to her husband, Ryan Reynolds. Leighton Meester, Minka Kelly's doppelganger, has appeared in at least one movie I've seen ("Country Strong") and even put out an album.
The dude with a tennis ball's name, Penn Badgley, was in Emma Stone's film, "Easy A," but he didn't make much of an impression on me. I know that Taylor Momsen played Cindy Lou Who in "The Grinch" when she was a kid and is now known for wearing electrical tape on her boobs and singing with a band called, "The Pretty Reckless."
Barbara Walters says Gen. David Petraeus is the "Most Fascinating Person of the Year." Do you agree?
Tim in Allentown
Dear Tim,
What's fascinating about a very powerful, very married middle-aged man whose quest for illicit nookie wrecked his life?
Not much. It happens all the time.
Sure, the details are crazy. But the circumstance is ho-hum.

The brutal Chilean dictator, Augusto Pinochet, whose military regime burned and banned many books, nevertheless amassed one of the largest and most valuable personal libraries in Latin America.
His personal collection numbers more than 50,000 volumes, most of them non-fiction, that have been housed over the decades in a number of the general's homes, the Pinochet Foundation as well as at the Augusto Pinochet Ugarte Library at the military academy in Santiago.
Pinochet came to power in a bloody 1973 coup and ruled with an iron fist until 1990. After that, he spent several years as a "senator for life." He died in 2006 while under house arrest; despite various attempts to bring him to trial on human rights violations and illegal enrichment, he was never tried.
The book collection – still in the family's possession, but possibly subject to judicial seizure – mainly contains books of history, geography and Marxism, the ideology he sought to destroy, even instructing to seize and burn every Marxist book found on Chilean territory.
"This man hoarded these books for the same reason," Juan Cristóbal Peña, author of the book "The Secret Literary Life of Augusto Pinochet," told the Chilean newspaper, La Nación, "Nazi editors and propagandists accumulated Jewish literature." He added, "I suppose it was to get to know the enemy and seize their knowledge to be able to fight it and exterminate it."
According to Peña, Pinochet's habit may have been the result of an inferiority complex.
Pinochet was never a prominent soldier, Peña told the Argentinean news service, Télam, and was constantly at odds with those above him. "His military career was a war fraught with difficulties," he said.
The literary treasures in the collection includes many works on the Napoleonic era and rare books from the Spanish colonial era.
Pinochet's favorite book, Peña found out, was "The Art of War" by Sun Tzu, about deception and conflict.
The late dictator's known wealth – which, including real estate, cars and several million dollars in bank accounts is estimated to be around $17.86 million – remains embargoed by the country. Although his family has always said his wealth was acquired honestly, through his military and government jobs, a study by the University of Chile found that his military salary couldn't account for all of it.
During Pinochet's rule thousands were jailed as suspected subversives, and Chile's government estimates 3,095 people were killed.

During the Rwanda genocide more than 1 million tutsis were murdered but it didnt happen overnight and the next morning it was over. It happened in a space of three months. Three months of non stop murders, rapes and total chaos.
If one were to get ready for such a event, and we should since we have all these people in government doing what the Hutus did just before the Rwanda genocide started. They are secretly ( or maybe not so secretly) starting to excite the people to murder out white people.
There has been a silent genocide going on in South Africa for a few years now, where white farmers are murdered for nothing but the South African government blames it on crime thereby hiding what is really going on from the outside world.
So, the average time span one has to be prepared to bug out for is about 3 months to 6 months. Can you imagine living that long in a place somewhere in nature where you have to provide for yourself?
I believe the time is coming. Are you ready?

Putt Powell griped about postage stamps going up to 10 cents each. Jerry Graham wondered why Texas Automatic Sprinklers, listed in the Amarillo telephone book but located in Albuquerque, N.M., had "Texas" in its name.
Every week from the mid-1960s to the mid-1970s, Amarillo Globe-Times reporters had to come up with an item for the "Globe-Timers Notebook."
The column was filled with tidbits contributed by staffers and was "an effort to personalize the newspaper and share anecdotes that wouldn't necessarily be significant enough for a news story," said Dennis Spies, current managing editor of the Amarillo Globe-News.
"I think a newspaper needs some personality," said Bill Cox, a former city editor and columnist who retired from the Globe-News in 1991. "I've always favored daily columns. But when staffers are forced to do it, it's not so hot."
Mary Kate Tripp, a former regional and city editor who retired in 1984 but still edits the Sunday book page, agreed that the Globe-Timers column was not very popular with the people who did the work.
"Everybody hated the Globe-Timers, except maybe the public," Tripp said. "What I remember is the unfortunate experience of having an excellent employee fired because she didn't get her Globe-Timer in."
Reporters who failed to turn in an item usually escaped reprisal from the editor, Tripp said, "but she hit him on a bad day."
Tripp said reporters were supposed to turn in an item every week.
"I was night city editor then, and I was exempt, and real glad of it," she said.
Former reporter Lou Ann Garrett said in her mind, Globe-Timers was similar to the current-day Bulletin Board that runs on the front page of the afternoon paper.
"When something interesting comes up that is sort of a side note and makes some news event and/or person more interesting, it's nice to have an outlet for telling that story," Garrett said.
Garrett said she probably didn't get an item turned in every week, but she submitted enough to keep herself out of trouble.
As with the reference to 10-cent stamps, the Notebook was often a sign of the times. In 1974, George Turner wrote about the energy crisis.
"A California friend tells me he waited in line for 45 minutes at a service station and at last was sold 11 cents worth of gas," Turner wrote. "He also observed a near-riot in another long line when a woman became angry at the driver in front of her and smashed a gallon jar of pickled beets on the man's car. The man retaliated by breaking the windows of the woman's car."
