Professor Robert Benson, retired but most recently a teacher at Texas A&M University-Corpus Christi, sounded out some pretty strange sounds to explain how birds have calls and songs. The audience of about 30 people was enthralled.
Benson, who has a graduate degree from Texas A&M University-College Station in physics, said he became interested in wildlife, particularly birds, in his retirement. Now, he is considered an expert in bio-acoustics.
Benson gave an overview of about 20 birds, most of them common to South Texas.
"When you are going out in nature and loving it for the views, you can hear it, too," Benson said.
"Efficiency of identifying birds, will be rewarding," he said, adding that it takes some training, but it can be done.
His presentation, "Birding by Ear," began with a definition of "oscine," a suborder of birds considered songbirds.
He said there are about 800 species of birds in North America, half of which are songbirds.
Species tend to evolve into more species. For example, the Northern Cardinal in Austin compared to the Northern Cardinal in Bayside have different dialects.
Benson said it would be like asking if a Texas girl would be attracted to a Brooklyn accent – maybe, but most likely not.
He said song sparrows have 900 different songs as opposed to field sparrows having only one song.
He said a long-billed thrasher in one incident had 464 different song types for 113 minutes.
Another example is the red-eyed vireo, or preacher bird, who was recorded to have 22,197 songs during the course of a day.
"Bird songs must be important to birds or they wouldn't spend so much time singing," Benson said.
For example, he said the field sparrow spends nine hours singing, nine hours sleeping and six hours eating.
He said a bird song is a series of notes, often times variations of those notes, and they are likely sung for making a territory, mating or making friends.
"The songs substitute for physical fights. The bird does it by singing better, more aggressively and stronger," Benson said.
And frequency is another term used for pitch, he said. Birds have a wide spectrum of pitches – some that carry far, penetrate barriers, are effective in the dark and some that vanish as quickly as they are uttered – all using a modest expenditure of energy.
Songs also are identified in different ways: by descriptive words, comparative idea, biogrammatic systems (notation on a bar) and phonetically.
For example, descriptive words might be "The bird sounds like a flute," or a canyon wren's song has descending notes.
The use of "it sounds like" is a comparative identification. For example, "It sounds like a squeaky wheel."
Also phonetically, some birds say their names, such as Bob Whites and Kill Deer. And some birds seem to be saying something as in a phrase.
For example, the Inca dove seems to be saying "No hope ... no hope ... no hope" in a sad high pitch. Inca doves, white-winged doves and mourning doves among others all have their distinctive songs.
Benson played several audios of birds in the area and South Texas. They included the Inca dove, mourning dove, white-winged dove, barred owl, golden fronted woodpecker, ladder-backed woodpecker, white-eyed vireo, Bell's vireo, red-eyed vireo, Caroline chickadee, tufted titmouse, black crested titmouse, Carolina wren, Bewick's wren, northern mockingbird, yellow breasted chat, olive sparrow, northern cardinal, long-billed thrasher and red-winged blackbird.
Without a doubt, each bird has its specific individuality expressed through song.
Benson said when one starts to pay attention to all the bird songs, an entire new appreciation and discovery of birds (many not easily seen) is had.

This is my first time posting here so sorry if it gets a little long.
My 5 month old has been having a few problems for about 2 weeks now. The main problem I am having is that he arches his back and cries when I try to nurse him. He doesn't do it every time, but most of the time. He has always wanted to nurse every 1 ½ to 2 hours but only for about 5 minutes on one side per feeding. I have had oversupply and overactive letdown so he was never did much comfort nursing, except when he was tired. The only way I could get him to sleep was nursing. Now he does it the most when he's tired. Sometimes he will suck for 1-2 minutes then pull off and if I try to latch him back on he starts screaming. Sometimes when I just put him in the nursing position he starts crying. He acts like he's hungry, but won't nurse. It seems like he is doing this mostly when he is tired. I give up trying to nurse him and put him to sleep then he wakes up within 30 minutes wanting to nurse.
He has also been having problems sleeping. He has never been much of a napper, but was sleeping about 5-6 hours at night, nursing, then waking after 2 more hours. He would then take a short maybe 30 min nap in the morning, 2-3 hours in the afternoon, then another 30-45 min at night. Since the nursing problems have started he is only taking about 3 short 15-20 min naps during the day. Then he's going to sleep earlier at night but waking frequently. I don't always check the clock, but there have been nights when he wakes maybe 10 times. I nurse him back to sleep every time.
Right before this behavior started we were at the doctor because he didn't have a bm for a week. Before we went in the nurse told me to give him apple juice. He really didn't like it and seemed to have an upset stomach for 2 days after. The doctor said he was fine and he had a bm the next day. He went another 7 days and then 4 days.
He is also definitely teething. He is constantly chewing on his fingers and drooling.
So my question is… is this behavior related to teething? Is he just too tired? Is he having stomach issues? I have also been concerned that maybe my supply has dropped and that could be the problem. I just don't know what the problem is and how I can get back to where we were. Oh and his wet diapers have seemed to decrease a little. He used to have maybe 6-7 very wet diapers and a few that were just a little wet. Now he usually has about 4 very wet diapers and maybe 3-4 somewhat wet diapers.

I got to spend a little time with Illinois Department of Natural Resources Director Marc Miller at the big Chicago Outdoor Sports Show in January in Rosemont.
We chatted about a number of things, and I remember that I was hit with what I had thought was a fantastic idea that I dreamed up. Miller asked me to put it in writing and send it to him. Like so many of my fantastic ideas, this one escaped my memory, at least until now. I sat down at the keyboard and committed my idea to writing. Here is what I just sent off to Miller:
"Dear Marc, I brought this idea up to you last January at Rosemont. I hope that there is still time for you to consider it and get it accomplished in time for 2013.
"You told me that one of your goals is to make the various outdoor sports more available to the sportsmen of our state. You and I both would like nothing more than to see more Illinois citizens taking up hunting and fishing, to be sure. You have already instituted programs to do that exact thing for our youth, something that many are thankful for.
"I'd like to propose something that would not only allow more hunters to get out into the field, but would also help to curtail what many consider to be a serious problem here in northern Illinois.
"I would like to see some of our Illinois state parks opened up for coyote hunting for at least two weeks, beginning on January, 21, 2013, which is the day after all deer seasons have ended.
"I think that coyotes are a danger to the deer population. My only facts to back this up are purely anecdotal. I am sure that your biologists have the hard numbers documented. In addition to whitetail deer, the coyotes are running rampant and many people believe that they are a primary reason for the disappearance of squirrels in northern Illinois, as well as a primary reason that wild pheasants are unable to regain a toehold here. Squirrels and pheasants are a couple of things that many sportsmen would love to have the opportunity to hunt, just as they were able to do in past years.
"Coyotes are so populous that they seem to be popping up in every suburban neighborhood and even in the hearts of cities, too. People are afraid of these creatures, justified or not, and fewer coyotes would keep them from spreading out into more populated areas.
"Late January and early February are times when the state parks in Northern Illinois are used much less heavily than other times, which is why I think this would be the ideal time to allow them to be opened for coyote hunting. This is also the perfect time to hunt the coyotes because this is when their pelts are the fullest and most attractive, making for a wonderful trophy.
"People tell me that they don't hunt coyotes because they can't get access to or permission for hunting them on private property. Many landowners, particularly farmers, tell me that they would love to see the numbers brought down. I think that opening some state parks for coyote hunting would be a popular decision and would please many, many citizens.
"I hope that this project can be carefully considered and if it makes sense, can be implemented for January of 2013. I know that time is short, but I also know that you are a man of action and can make this happen. Thank you for your consideration."
I will let you know the response as soon as I receive one.

Let's head back down to Orlando and check out a few more of the things that caught my attention at the big ICAST convention.
They always say that baits are meant to catch fishermen, and to a point that is true. To me, new baits need to have great paint jobs and very sharp hooks to be worth trying out. Some things look like gimmicks and bring to mind baits like the Flying Lure and the Banjo Minnow. Even though these items gained their fame on infomercials, they truly caught fish. Have you ever seen the episode of Babe Winkelman's show where he caught tons of monster pike in Canada with Spence Petros on the Banjo Minnow? Argument over.
I saw a good value in Uncle Wesley's adjustable-depth fishing lures. There are two body styles and a decent assortment of colors available. The baits run at three depths without changing lures. The lip on the front of the lure can be adjusted to three positions to make the lure run either shallow, medium or deep. The lip clicks into position and seems to not want to move on its own. I can definitely see the value in trying these baits. Visit unclewesleys.com for more information.
Scott Burdick and his father are the brains behind Custom Catcher lures. This is truly one of the most ingenious things I have seen in a long time. You can buy a single Custom Catcher or buy the lure as a kit, which is the only way to go. The kit includes the pieces to quickly assemble a variety of different lures. You get heads and tails and hooks and hardware and connectors. These aren't jigs and tails, they are hard baits. The system is well-built in a fashion where I don't see the lure coming apart inadvertently under any circumstances. They even have a kit with hard heads and soft rears which is very popular today. Go to customcatcher.com, but make sure you watch the video to get the true effect of what this system does.

Raul Ibanez singled to center, giving the Yankees a 1-0 lead.
The Yankees made it 2-0 in the sixth when Ichiro Suzuki doubled in Jeter, who scored from first after drawing a walk.
Granderson, who entered the game 1-for-16 with nine strikeouts, put the Yankees up 3-0 in the seventh with a homer to right, his second hit of the game. Girardi had decided not to bench his struggling center fielder, but did sit Rodriguez, and also did not commit to returning him to the lineup in the ALCS, after Friday's game.
The benching of the Yankees' $29 million man raised eyebrows, but Girardi said he could only worry about the present with his team on the cusp of elimination. So he started lefties Eric Chavez at third base and Ibanez at DH against the right-handed Hammel.
Rodriguez, 2-for-16 with nine strikeouts in the series, said he had to "look in the mirror" and didn't blame his manager for the humbling move.
"Obviously I'm not happy and, you know, I was disappointed," Rodriguez said before the game. "But I keep telling you guys, this is not a story about one person, this is about a team."
Rodriguez, who was not called on to pinch hit against a left-handed pitcher in the seventh, did not speak to reporters after the game.
Notes: Right-handed hitter Lew Ford started as the DH for the Orioles instead of future Hall of Fame candidate Jim Thome against lefty Sabathia. Manager Buck Showalter said he didn't want to "overextend" Thome physically and liked having him as a pinch-hitting option. ... Girardi said he would sort out his rotation past Pettitte in the next couple of days, and address his lineup Saturday.

Pretrial hearing held in death of 3 Wis. sisters
A man charged with murdering his daughters in River Falls last July has a few weeks to consider whether he will plead insanity.
At a pretrial hearing Wednesday, a judge told Aaron Schaffhausen's attorney he has until Dec. 14 to file a motion to plead not guilty by reason of insanity. The Star Tribune reports St. Croix County Circuit Court Judge Howard Cameron also gave the defense until Dec. 28 to request a change of venue.
Schaffhausen faces three counts of first-degree intentional homicide for the deaths of 11-year-old Amara, 8-year-old Sophie and 5-year-old Cecilia. All three girls were found tucked into their beds with their throats slit.
Schaffhausen faces mandatory life in prison if convicted. The judge could grant him a chance at parole, however.

At least 89 pilgrims die in stampede in IndiaBy ELLEN BARRY
The New York Times | October 14,2013NEW DELHI — Thousands of pilgrims in northern India panicked Sunday when they thought the narrow bridge they were crossing was collapsing, Indian officials said. The resulting stampede left at least 89 people dead and about a hundred more injured.
About a half-million worshippers, by Indian news media estimates, had flocked to the Ratangarh Temple in northern Madhya Pradesh state for a religious festival. A top state official, Anthony J.C. De Sa, told The Hindu, a daily newspaper, that about 25,000 people were on the bridge over the Sindh River, which is 23 feet wide, on Sunday when a section of the bridge's railing broke, setting off a rumor that the whole bridge was about to give way.
Television images of the scene afterward showed piles of clothing littering the bridge. Many people are believed to have drowned after jumping off the bridge into the river; others were injured in the crush above.
In the aftermath of the panic, relief efforts were delayed by traffic jams, and frustrated bystanders later turned on the police, pelting them with stones. A deadly stampede took place at the same site in 2006.
There were conflicting reports about the start of the crush Sunday. Some witnesses said the police had initiated it by charging into the crowd swinging canes, but police officials denied the reports. Others said a group of pilgrims had intentionally spread a rumor that the bridge was about to collapse, in the hope of cutting the long line of people waiting to cross. Still others said that they had heard that the bridge had been hit by a tractor and was unstable.
De Sa said the bridge was less than 4 years old and "in good condition."
One survivor, Atul Chaudhary, told the BBC's Hindi service that he heard screams, and then crowds began pushing their way off the bridge.
"Several people could be seen flattened to the ground in the midst of the melee," he said. "Some of the youngsters panicked and jumped into the swollen river. I and my friends were close to the exit point, and along with several others ran for safety."
Some witnesses said the police failed to act promptly to control the crowd.
The Madhya Pradesh government has opened a judicial probe into the causes of the stampede.
Mass deaths occur often at pilgrimages in India, when vast, dense crowds put heavy burdens on transportation and safety infrastructure. In August, an express train was unable to stop and plowed into pilgrims crossing a set of train tracks in the state of Bihar, killing more than 30 people. A similar number were trampled rushing to a train platform in February, marring the 55-day Kumbh Mela festival, whose crowds were estimated at 80 million.
The stampede Sunday occurred during the run-up to state elections. Officials quickly promised compensation of about $2,450 for the families of each of those killed. Those with serious injuries will receive about $820. Prime Minister Manmohan Singh released a statement expressing condolences.
"On this day of festivities, our hearts and prayers are with the victims and their families," said the statement, according to Indian news services.MORE IN Wire NewsCHARLESTON, S.C. Full Story

This spectacular edge-on galaxy, called ESO 243-49, is believed to be home to an intermediate-mass black hole that may have been stripped off of a cannibalized dwarf galaxy. The estimated 20,000-solar-mass black hole lies above the galactic plane. This is an unlikely place for such a massive back hole to exist, unless it belonged to a small galaxy that was gravitationally torn apart by ESO 243-49. The circle identifies a unique X-ray source that pinpoints the black hole. The X-rays are believed to be radiation from a hot accretion disk around the black hole. The blue light not only comes from a hot accretion disk, but also from the possible existence of a cluster of hot young stars that formed around the black hole. The galaxy is 290 million light-years from Earth. Hubble can't resolve the stars individually because the suspected cluster is too far away. Their presence is inferred from the color and brightness of the light coming from the black hole's location.

A blog about my journey with Myalgic Encephalomyelitis and Immune Dysfunction Syndrome including HHV 6, EBV, C. Pneumonia, Bartonella, Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome, and Biotoxin Illness
Thursday, June 25, 2009
A New Phase and A Blog Change
I'm finding that I'm also rather terrified of what's ahead of me because I know what its going to look like. It's interesting to be feeling a little better because I'm realizing how alone I am and how absolutely not at home with myself I am. I also realize the absolute need to makes changes in my life that will support my emerging strength, enhance my sense of spirituality, and feel a sense of peace. Because of how sick I've been and prior to that all my efforts went towards completing my PhD on top of working full-time etc...I neglected friendships and let my support system go. I don't know how to go about making new friends when I have such limitations regarding energy etc...but find that I desperately need to establish a support system.
I'm also re-evaluating every aspect of my life. I realize that I have little tolerance for certain behaviors and little physical tolerance for a certain level of stress. I have no patience for people who have zero insight, refuse to accept responsibility for their behavior, are blaming, and have no desire to understand or take into account the fact that I'm this ill.
I feel like I have changed as a result of this illness and certain things that used to be okay with me no longer are. I can't pretend that certain things don't bother me, I no longer want to sacrifice my own values just to maintain certain relationships. I have reconnected with my desire to live, reconnect with a sense of soul and being in the world that I used to have but got drained out of me because of a certain level of stress that comes with hearing over and over again that my perceptions and/or aren't valid, aren't accurate or get corrected and minimized.
Anyway, due to the next phase of my reflections and journey as well as other reasons, I'm going to limit who has access to this blog. I want to make sure I stay in contact with the people who read my blog regularly so I'm assuming that if your on my list of followers you'll still have access to my blog?
I wanted to provide some warning about the blog change and my reasons for doing so. So if you are wanting to have access to my blog I guess it might be a good idea to add your name to the followers list (unless anyone knows differently and can tell me this works).
I just tried making this blog private but can't figure out how to do it. Does anybody know?
Peace and Health to All

You sound so good, Terri. Making such good decisions for yourself ~ it inspires me! I am so glad I am one of the followers as I really find your blog encouraging and insightful. It makes me think beyond my small little world..and stretches me to grow and be strong myself.

I think you have found the purpose of this illness that we all share. Becoming true to our "True" selves is, in my opinion, the reason for this journey that we take. It makes a shed the things that are not conducive to living our truth. In my case, I find that when I listen to my truth and follow it, I get better. When I fall back into my old ways of listening to others truths instead of my own, I become weaker.
Getting rid of "truths" that are not ours is one of the hardest things to do. It takes real courage.

It's great to hear your feeling so strong and positive. The best thing that we get from this illness is true insight to ourselves. You really seem to have found that. I'm very happy for you!!
I have also lost a lot of friends too. I'm going to join the Buddhist centre in the city and hope to meet new friends there. On my retreat I met some lovely people. I'm also going to go to some workshops and hope to meet people there who have been through similar experiences. In the future I also hope to set up a coffee morning/evening for ME/CFS sufferers.
I just thought I'd share that as that is how I am going to begin to make new friends.
Best of luck with it all.

Hi Terri,
Good job. Truly. It sounds like you've really started to evolve, which I believe is the only way we can make heads & tails of this illness. Everything positive from this illness must come from within...we can't rationalize the outside world into an ally, but we can accept that it is no longer our enemy. We can't rationalize ourselves into having healthy bodies, but we can accept our body as perfect the way it is and try to open up the floodgates to the healing that is available.
I think the greatest weapon we have against this illness is love for ourselves. The love for others comes naturally after that. Loving ourselves takes away the ability of uncontrollable variables (i.e. others' behavior) to affect our well-being. It means we no longer reject ourselves & allow ourselves the joy that is available even in the most mundane "bad" CFS-anchored day.
You've come a long way in a short time, and I'm really glad I'm tagging along for your journey of personal growth.

Hi Terri...yes, this illness changes our priorities for sure, along with the incredible difficulty of making new friends. Actually we make them, but in a different way and more slowly. No more of the 'just spending time doing things with' friends. No toxic friends.
I'm glad you have more energy now. I'm now signed up as a follower of your blog twice:-) Couldn't find my picture in there. I don't know how to limit who sees or how to choose who sees. I have you on my feed on my blog so I hope that guarantees I can still see your blog.
Maybe googling 'making blogger.com posts private' may come up with an answer?

What a great way to put it! Getting rid of the truths that aren't ours is difficult. Even though I have the insight it hasn't been easy putting it into practice. But its well worth it.

Humboldt Squid
The Humboldt Squid (Dosidicus gigas), also known as Jumbo Squid, Jumbo Flying Squid, or Diablo Rojo (Spanish for Red Devil), is a large, predatory squid found in the waters of the Humboldt Current in the Eastern Pacific Ocean. They are most commonly found at depths of 200–700 metres (660–2,300 ft), from Tierra del Fuego to California. Recent findings suggest the range of this species is spreading north into the waters of Oregon, Washington, British Columbia, and Alaska.[1][2] Though they usually prefer deep water, between 1,000 and 1,500 squid washed up on the Long Beach Peninsula in southwest Washington in the fall of 2004[3]. They have also ventured into Puget Sound.[4]
Behavior and general characteristics
Humboldt Squid are carnivorous marine invertebrates that move in shoals of up to 1200 individuals. They swim at speeds of up to 24 kilometers per hour (15 mph/13 kn) propelled by water ejected through a hyponome (siphon) and by two diamond shaped fins. Their tentacles bear suckers lined with sharp teeth with which they grasp prey and drag it towards a large, sharp beak. They are known to be very aggressive and attack divers that venture too close. There have been reports that in December of 2009, three divers were killed in the Sea of Cortez after they found themselves caught in the middle of a Humboldt Squid feeding frenzy. The scuba tanks of Nicholas Barbin and two other unnamed divers washed up on the shores of northern Mexico four days after their disappearance. Torn pieces of their wetsuits were found to be soaked in the ink discharged from the Humboldt Squid as a defensive measure.
Humboldt Squid are thought to have a lifespan of only about one year, although some researchers believe they may survive up to four years. They may grow to 2 metres (7 ft) and weigh 45 kilograms (100 lb). They can rapidly change their skin color from deep purplish red to white using chromatophores (specialized skin cells) in what some researchers believe is a complex communication system.[citation needed] Experts have also stated that the squid hunt for their prey of small fish and krill in a cooperative fashion, which would be the first observation of such behavior in invertebrates.[5] Humboldt Squid are known to hunt near the surface at night, taking advantage of the dark to use their keen vision to feed on more plentiful prey. There have been reports of these squid attacking divers and fishermen in the Sea of Cortez, sometimes trying to drag them deep into the water.[6] The shallowest depths of Humboldt Squid's daytime habitat are only within reach of the extremes of saturation diving, so little is known of what they do during the day.
Recent research suggests that the squid are only aggressive while feeding. At other times, they are quite passive. Their behavior while feeding often extends to cannibalism and they have been seen to readily attack injured or vulnerable squid of their own shoal. This behavior may account for a large proportion of their rapid growth.[7][8]
Roger Uzun, a veteran scuba diver and amateur underwater videographer who swam with a swarm of the animals for about 20 minutes, said they seemed to be more curious than aggressive.[9]
Body characteristics
Generally, the tube (or body) constitutes about 40% of the animal's mass, the fin (or wing) about 12%, the tentacles about 14%, the outer skin about 3%, the head (including eyes and beak) about 5%, with the balance (26%) made up of the inner organs. In circumstances where these animals are not feeding or being hunted, they exhibit curious and intelligent behavior.[10]
They often approach prey quickly with all ten appendages extended forward in a cone-like shape. Upon reaching striking distance, they will open their eight swimming and grasping arms, and extend two long tentacles covered in sharp 'teeth,' grabbing their prey and pulling it back towards a parrot-like beak, which can easily cause dramatic lacerations to human flesh. The whole process takes place in seconds.
Recent footage of shoals of these animals demonstrates a tendency to meet unfamiliar objects aggressively. Having risen to depths of 130–200 metres (430–660 ft) below the surface to feed (up from their typical 700 metre (2,300 ft) diving depth, beyond the range of human diving), they have attacked deep-sea cameras and rendered them inoperable. Reports of recreational scuba divers being attacked by Humboldt Squid have been confirmed. One particular diver, Scott Cassell,[11] who has spent much of his career videotaping this species, has developed body armor to protect against attacks.[12] Each of the squid's suckers is ringed with sharp teeth, and the beak itself can tear flesh, although it's believed they lack the jaw strength to crack heavy bone.[7] Nevertheless, they eat their prey by grabbing it with their tentacles and biting it repeatedly with their beak. Working together, several squid are able to devour large prey very quickly.
Commercially, this species has been caught to serve the European community market (mainly Spain, Italy and France), Russia, China, Japan, South East Asian and increasingly North and South American markets.
The squid are fished at night, when it is easier to lure them with lights used by fishermen that make the plankton the squid feed on shine, which causes the squid to rise to the surface to feed. Since the 1990s, the most important areas for landings of Humboldt Squid are northern Peru and Mexico.
There are numerous accounts of the squid attacking fishermen and divers in the area and attacks on humans are regularly seen, but only when they are being fished. Their colouring and aggressive reputation has earned them the nickname diablos rojos (red devils) from fishermen off the coast of Mexico as they flash red and white when struggling with the fishermen.[citation needed]
Humboldt Squid and El Niño
Although Humboldt Squid are generally found in the warm Pacific waters off of the Mexican coast, recent years have shown an increase in northern migration. The large 1997-98 El Niño event triggered the first sightings of Humboldt Squid in Monterey Bay.[2] Then, during the minor El Niño event of 2002, Humboldt Squid returned to Monterey Bay in higher numbers and have been seen there year-round since then. Similar trends have been shown off the coasts of Washington, Oregon, and even Alaska, although there are no year-round Humboldt Squid populations in these locations. It has been suggested that this change in migration is due to warming waters during El Niño events, but other factors, such as a decrease in upper trophic level predators that would compete with Humboldt Squid for food, could be impacting the migration shift as well.[2]
Humboldt Squid and ocean acidification
A study published in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences found that by the end of this century ocean acidification will lower the Humboldt squid's metabolic rate by 31% and activity levels by 45%. This will lead the squid to have to retreat to shallower waters where it can uptake oxygen at higher levels.[13]

Chief Joseph Crim of the Plains Indians predicted the weather for the rest of 2011, using methods handed down from his ancestors.
Crim said the wind came Tuesday morning out of the southwest, which meant little precipitation.
"That's a bad omen," Crim said. "It will be dry this spring."
The tradition, Crim said, calls for the wind to be evaluated on the second day of spring. He has burned a campfire to judge the smoke in previous years, but skipped it this year due to a county burn ban.
Crim, 72, is a descendant of the tribe, but said his sons do not plan to carry on the tradition.

"In many cases, hate may be seen or perceived by the victims, their families, witnesses, and even law enforcement to be the motivation for a crime, but perpetrators may not be charged with a hate crime for a variety of reasons -- many of the same reasons that the debate on hate-crime laws continues in this country" (Hate Crime in America: The Debate Continues, National Institute of Justice, 2007).
Crimes of hatred and prejudice - from lynchings to cross burnings to vandalism of synagogues - are a sad fact of American history, but the term "hate crime" did not enter the nation's vocabulary until the 1980s, when emerging hate groups like the Skinheads launched a wave of bias-related crime. (Hate Crimes, Federal Bureau of Investigation, Retrieved September 2014).
Hate crime activities are being investigated at the Federal level by the FBI's Bias Crimes Unit and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) arson and explosives experts. ATF investigations also focus on regulating the illegal sale and possessions of firearms to potential perpetrators of hate crimes. Programs have been developed to bring communities together to fight hate crimes through mediation, dialogue and discussion, and innovative strategies to introduce and educate youth on attitudes and behavior.
The Office for Victims of Crime (OVC), the Bureau of Justice Assistance (BJA) and the Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention (OJJDP) currently sponsor or have sponsored grantee agencies to develop programs and provide training seminars and technical assistance to individuals and local agencies regarding hate crimes.

I bought my Wheelskin Steering Wheel Cover expecting very little from it's fit and looks. Wow, was I surprised! It fits VERY tightly, looks better than leather wraps installed at most upholstery shops and was EASY to install. I quickly ordered one for my wife and father.

So here we are, on Easter Day, and the gospel is inviting us to again race with Peter to the empty tomb, shake out the grave clothes and marvel afresh at what God has done. "Where, O death, is your victory? Where, O death, is your sting?" (I Cor. 15:55) The empty tomb with its dazzling messengers reminds us that we have been liberated and can walk in continued newness with our ever-living God. The only thing that limits our joy is our reluctance to believe.
St. Paul Lutheran Church in Runge invites all to join us in celebrating the Risen Lord. Sunday morning worship services begin at 8:30 a.m. Pastor Randal Bruno and the congregation will welcome you.

|Inquisitor Pain
Darkness has taken you, leaving you endlessly falling into an empty oblivion without sight or sound. moments flash briefly into being and fade again; a cold iron table and bright light above you, the mocking voice of a child, the reeking stench of beasts and raw meat, weightlessness, the hammering of great machinery, and finally, fetid black water oozing beneath you and chill winds stirring foul air.
You wake slowly to find yourself paralysed in cold darkness, your voice silent and your body as limp and useless as a rag doll. You are helpless to act or speak, or evne hold your thoughts together, but you can hear the ragged breathing of others in the dark telling you that you are not alone in your fate and feel the bone-deep ache in your limbs confirming that you yet live.
Sickly-green lamps flicker on in the walls, and a dozen figures appear, wading shin-deep through rank waters toward the cold platform on which you and the others tangled forms hang. They wear ragged cloaks over dark body armour, and their faces are covered by grotesque animal masks fashioned from glittering metal and stitched skin. each mask is different, one a hound, one a serpent, another a swine and so on, while the leader wears the gilded visage of a Jackal with crimson teeth.
Chains are released and you are dumped into the ice-cold filth of the water with the others, all equally helpless, heaped up like a mass grave for the living. Each of you is swiftly and perfunctorily examined by the masked men like livestock in a market. The Jackal Mask barks a curt order, and he and the others back away swiftly into the darkness.
Frost creeps across the walls, and the waters beneath you grow cold as the grave, as from the darkness a human-shaped, spike-studded metal cabinet comes into view, pushed along by two stunted and misshapen figures. Another shadowed form, tall and lean, hangs back at the edge of sight behind them.
Horror is heaped upon horror as the iron cabinet opens to reveal the severed head and mutilated torso of a young woman floating within a column of unearthly light. The woman's eyes snap open and cruel white light floods out. you feel the stabbing claws of a vile force invade your mind with its polluting touch as you and your fellow captives finally find voice enough to scream.
The force withdraws suddenly as the iron cabinet snaps shut. A silver-clawed hand rises from the darkness and indicates three captives in turn. The misshapen figures lunge forth and drag them screaming into the darkness where theye are abruptly silenced.
Mercifully you are not among them.
The light fades and oblivion takes you again.
|Inquisitor Pain
First online game sessions information
Prisoners of who you are unsure you finally awaken groggy, drugged, beaten but all in all able to stand on your own two feet and comprehend what has happened.
You all look around and there are a total of 8 people in what appears to be a caged pit you are locked inside. The room is extremely loud with the sound of metal banging on metal and the stench of rotting meat fills the air.
One of you attempt to climb the cage but it is futile. After some time you hear the distant sound of some form of animals growling coming from one of the ventilation shafts attached to the cage. It grows louder and louder every second.
Some of you grab some bones scattered on the ground as makeshift weapons. The grate lifts up half way from where the sound is coming and it gets louder and the smell becomes even more foul. Above you notice a man appear with a Heron Mask and he stands there ignoring your pleads.
Suddenly you see the monstrosities burst up toward the great and your sanity is checked as some of you flee in fear and some faint out completely. Those of you who are able to maintain your courage stand your ground as one of the beasts makes its way into the cage sniffing out it's first prey.
The battle was fierce and several people fell but so did 2 of the Xenos creatures. When the man in the Heron Mask had his fill of watching the fight he moved to a control panel and shifted some switches dropping the escape ladder into the pit. He vanished back into the darkness once this was done.
The remainder of the prisoners escaped up the ladder leaving the Xenos creatures to feast on those already fallen. Up top they looked around cautiously and found a body laying near the control panel with his head nearly severed and a note with a dagger attached to the control panel.
The prisoners collected the dagger and whatever weapons the dead man had on him and made their ways through the labyrinth they were prison to. After some time they heard the familiar sound of the Xenos creatures coming from behind and they started to make haste which caused an insecure location of the tunnels to collapse behind them blocking off the path which they came.
They eventually made it to an open room with a may laying dead with a bowl of blood in front of him and a makeshift totem made of crude materials. The group examine the room and found a dataslate and was able to access the data within but not before one of the members who was a Psyker sensed the warp around him with a Psynscience roll and an Unbound Spirit struck out at him.
None saw the spirit except for the Psyker and quickly informed the group what was happening and the one who read the dataslate realized this as well and they began attacking the totem. The spirit came corporal and tore into one of them but was to slow as the totem was utterly destroyed casting out the spirit back into the warp.
This is where we left off in the online game
|Inquisitor Pain
|Auraxis Aurilious
|Inquisitor Pain
|Inquisitor Pain
You cautiously make your away out of the room leaving the totem and body behind you looting what you deemed valuable.
The passages ahead are much the same as those you have passed through earlier. The noise of metal banging on metal is so loud that it makes your movements easier to conceal (No move silent required). The stench is so foul but your body has become accustomed to it that you barely recognize it any longer.
Make awareness checks as you make your way through the passageways. Any order is fine
(Awareness test)1d100 ⇒ 20
|Auraxis Aurilious
|Inquisitor Pain
As you make your way through the passages you spot an access hatch that appears to be rusted. This is the first hatch you have noticed since you escaped the cage.
If you wish to try to open the hatch it is a difficulty Ordinary (+10) Strength test and can use one person for assistance for an additional +10.
|Inquisitor Pain
Auraxis Aurilious RIPS the hatch off with great ease. As the hatch opens, a breeze of chilling air hits you all. The inside of the duct is dark, only a little light falls down from high above. Hand and footholds line the side adverse to the hatch in easy reach and it appears to head to an upper level.
Do you wish to climb into the duct and see where that leads or keep moving the way you were going?
Back to order and will wait for all responses at this point.
|Auraxis Aurilious
|Inquisitor Pain
The woman jumps up into the duct and begins to climb up followed by Auraxis Aurilious. The chill winds pierce through your skin as you get higher up. This must be some kind of air cooling vent of some sorts. When you reach a certain point the duct splits to two sides one going toward a spinning fan which is obviously the source of the chill winds and the other leads further into darkness. The duct opposite the fan leads to you an exit hatch which appears to be another area of this compound.
Woman and Auraxis Aurilious please make a Challenging +0 Awareness test.
Illidan wielding his weapon continues on down the passageway to scout up ahead and sees more passageways zig zagging much like the others they came through previously. It is unknown what lies ahead unless you keep going.
Huntarr keeps an eye out watching both directions prepared for whatever may come.
|Auraxis Aurilious
|Inquisitor Pain
You guys are killing these rolls
You both move closer to the hatch which drops down to the upper level you made your way to and hear what sounds like 2 men talking to each other. You can not see them through the hatch grate but based on the voices it sounds like they are wearing masks and are a few meters away from where the hatch would open.
What do you two wish to do?
Huntarr, it has been several minutes and you have no heard from Auraxis and the woman who went up into the ducts. What do you wish to do?
Illidan, do you wish to return or continue moving off on your own?
|Auraxis Aurilious
|Auraxis Aurilious
|Inquisitor Pain
Huntarr you hear someone running toward you from the direction Illidan went and you take aim but hold when you spot the man that escaped the cages with you. You both look up in the duct and can see Auraxis and the woman up in the duct as they worked their way back shivering from the cold air blowing on them.
|Auraxis Aurilious
"There is a pair of perps next to another access hatch perhaps 30 meters up the shaft. Woman here wanted to take them both but we need one alive to figure out what the hell is going on around here. Much as I hate to admit it she is better with her weapon and you with your gun then I will be with this axe but I will appear to be the bigger threat so I will go in first. The rest of you concentrate on let's say the perp on the left then together we'll bring down the guy on the right hard and get some answers. Sound like a plan?"
|Inquisitor Pain
The prisoners all agree with Auraxis plan, albeit the woman was a little reluctant with keeping one of them alive they all move up into the cold ducts and make their way to the hatch that leads down to where the two men were talking.
What are you all going to do? Please roll initiative to determine order of actions. The hatch is about 15 feet off the ground in the ceiling above where the men are standing. You will have surprise first round

Didn't you agree to attack the one on the LEFT?
|Auraxis Aurilious
|Inquisitor Pain
Initiative Order:
Her - 14
Auraxis - 13
Huntarr - 9
Illidan - 5
Illidan opens the hatch at delicately as possible and the woman jumps down first and lunges at the man on the right followed by the rest of the team.
Both men are wearing Feudal Breastplate with chain axes attached to their hips and boars head masks. They are both caught completely by surprise!
Behind the 2 men appears to be some kind of access elevator.
Her I need you to do 1 roll of 1d100 for your attack since we are going to use BC rules for combat.
Everyone should do their attacks and damage rolls in the next post except for dennis just your damage roll because you did your attack right.
|Auraxis Aurilious
|Inquisitor Pain
Her: Swift Attack is for every 2 degrees of success it's one extra hit. Since you had to jump down which is half action and then swift half action your at a +0 bonus on the attack so 47 WS. You rolled a 5 so that is 2 DoS so 3 hits total on that guy. Roll damage 3 times with your mono dagger and don't forget to roll damage 2 times for each hit because of tearing. Which guy were you hitting left or right?
Auraxis: The Axe only does 1d10+3 damage with your strength included so you did 11 Damage total. You whack the the left guy with the flat of your Axe very hard but he is still standing and looks very startled at the attack.

'Scruffy City Ramble': The shows will go on
This week, Metro Pulse reported some interesting news regarding booking and shows at The Square Room over in Knoxville.
Kenny Woodhull, the guy behind the former Old City venue New City Cafe, blogged a bit about it on Jan. 18, and in an email exchange a few weeks ago, he told me that his organization New City Resources — which has put on several shows at Old North Abbey in Knoxville — was partnering with 4MS Entertainment, the organization behind The Square Room, to put on shows there, including a March "Talk Is Cheap" performance, a show in April by Andrew Peterson and the band CALEB and a show next week by Christian singer-songwriter Michael Card. In addition, "We'll be hosting a weekly songwriter's night on Thursdays starting soon," Woodhull wrote.
So what does this mean for "Scruffy City Ramble," the variety show/concert series produced by Chyna Brackeen of Attack Monkey Productions, the company that's presenting the Feb. 20 Tift Merritt/David Wax Museum show? That remains to be seen, Brackeen
told me on Wednesday, despite Metro Pulse's report that it's "on hold" for the time being.
"We will still have the Feb. 21 show — it's been scheduled, it's still on, and it's still happening," she said, adding that Henry Wagons, Sturgill Simpson, Lydia Salnikova and This Mountain. "At this point, The Square Room had a conflict with the March date, and we agreed to give that up. I'm not sure if we'll do a March show or not, since I'm slammed with the Black Lillies (whom Brackeen manages) performing at South By Southwest and planning for the Rhythm N' Blooms Festival (which takes place the first weekend in April). But we plan to pick back up in April.
"Right now, we're looking at venue options. I would love to keep it at The Square Room, but they've advised me that they have a conflict on Thursdays. We would like to work out something for one Thursday a month, but if we can't, we'll be looking at other venue options. Because 'Scruffy City Ramble' is such a big production, we can't move it off of Thursdays at this point, but that's certainly a conversation I'm willing to have down the road."
Stay tuned for what will develop for "Scruffy City."

Perhaps our state motto should be changed from "Friendship" to "Texas Is Open For Business". The slogan has evolved from a clever marketing ploy for attracting business into a laughable full-blown satire. In the last ten years, the relationship between business and the state of Texas has gone far beyond mere economic development.

Please include any relevant information such as skill level and style of play.
Comments: I like the weight and look of these shoes, but found them to be very narrow. I wear an 11 1/2 D/E and
bought a 12, and still found them narrow. Comfortable to walk in, but not to play in. Hurt my left ankle going for a volley to my
left, and still feeling it three weeks later. Going to go back to playing my roomier old KSwiss shoes, and use these for walking.
From: Doug, 6/13
Comments: Not for overpronators. It's a good shoe for neutral and supinators because I felt that these shoes were
designed with just enough support to prevent rolling an ankle but there's no support on the medial side. And they're very comfy
with the running shoe-like feel.
From: Anon, 5/13
Comments: First of all this is a great looking shoe, but that is it! I bought this style and the left shoe was higher
then the right and it was bothering my lateral malleolus. Then after 2 hours of playing, I also realize that they were giving me
blisters on my toes as well. I bought these shoes because I had the old version and they were wonderful, but defenetly not this
From: Johny, 5/13
Comments: These shoes require some break in time. I noticed the uppers around the ankle are hard and were
causing blisters. To prevent that, I tried to tighten the laces. Hopefully when the shoes break in, they will be more comfortable.
From: Derek, 3/13
Comments: I purchased a size 13 in the blue/Lime color instead of the plain jane. What drew me to this shoe were
the comments of a wider toe box over the Barricades and the fact that it does not have a pointed toe, but more rounded toe than
the Barricades. The Barricades gave me a pinched feeling. Also, this shoe was on sale at discontinued price, which made it most
attractive. This Feather II is just what the doctor ordered with its wider toe box. It does require some break-in. The flat wide
outer sole area with its firm inner foot area is perfect for me. This shoe is very comfortable and has a narrow heel grip area that is
perfect. The arch support is good too, with no digging in. A nice designed shoe.
From: Teeter, 2/13
Comments: I just bought this shoe 1 month ago and the sole has already come out.
From: Gibson, 1/13
Comments: Nice shoe, and fits my feet well. No break in required. Comfortable and very light weight in contrast to
the Barricades. Durability remains to be seen. I own Barricades, Teams and now this model. I do like the Barricades although I had
to replace the cheapo inner soles. I will not buy Teams again due to the cheapo inner sole and lesser good fit for me. Based on
price point and all things considered I'm leaning towards staying with Barricades, though. If you want a good light weight shoe
then these are a good choice.
From: Mike, 1/13
Comments: I bought a pair of these shoes the other week and I'm having a hard time with them. They hurt pretty
bad around the ankle and I'm also getting blisters on my toes. Others have mentioned breaking them in so I hope mine break in
too. I've just never had an adidas tennis shoe feel so painful to wear. They are light though, and they look pretty awesome.
Another thing, the running gait seems really weird which may be why the shoe isn't working for me. My feet feel like they are
both slanting in, instead of being flat. Try them on if you can before you buy them.
From: Mark, 1/13
Comments: This is the best shoe ever! It's so light! You have to buy it now!
From: Richard, 11/12
Comments: This is a great shoe. It's light, fast, and very comfortable (after a little break-in to
soften the sides around the ankle). It's much better for wider feet than the Barricade, but after just a few wearings I had two lace
loops blew out. They are not stitched well enough into the shoe to be strong enough to withstand vigorous tightening. I think this
will be an Achilles heel for this shoe and Adidas will need to redesign it.
From: Frank, 10/12
Comments: This is an unbelievable shoe, and is hands down the best tennis shoe I've worn in 25 years. I have the
Vapor 9s as well and these blow the Nikes out of the water, especially if you need a wider toe box. It's too bad I find the colorways
ugly. Make these in a silver/dark grey and white/grey and I'll load up on them.

Comments: The last two years I have tested shoes like Babolat ProPulse II and III, Adidas Barricade III, IV and V,
Lotto Raptor II and III, Asics Gel REs 2, 3 and 4, Nike CB 2.3, 3.3 and 4.3, Nike Vapor Tour 9, and so on. The Adizero Feather II is
such an amazing shoe! They have the best performance in cushioning, stability, speed and overall feel. All the negative parts of
the Adizero Feather I has been remade and updated and now this shoe just feels great!

Comments: These are fine shoes. They are light, fast, stable, comfortable, and well cushioned. True to size. They
could use just a little break in. I'm an older former 4.0 serve and volley player.
From: Bill, 10/12
Comments: I have always wanted to convert from the barricade to the Feather. While the barricade 7 has improved
its comfort by widening the toe box (I have quite a wide foot), and is the ultimate shoe in durability and stability, I did want to look
for a faster, more comfortable feeling shoe in the adidas lineup. Not being a huge fan of the first adizero Feather because of the
discomfort I felt from the fit, I knew the adizero Feather 2 would be of much greater comfort to me. It's a very fast shoe and the
grab is excellent, and though the durability is not on par with the barricade lineup, it is not too shabby. My one knock would have
to be the agressive colorways in the Feather 2 lineup.

Comments: I have been a Barricade wearer for at least the last five years. I wore K-Swiss before that. I was hesitant
to try these due to my knee issues (arthritis) I have had these shoes for 8 weeks now. My knees are fine.This shoe is very
comfortable. I wore them the first time in a match and forgot they were on my feet. That is what you want from a shoe. No issues.
They are light and since I have never worn through a pair of Barricades in 6 months, I have no worries about durability here. I am
not a toe dragger and my Barricade lasts would break down before I'd wear them smooth or create a hole. I don't think I am any
faster or better with these shoes but the calluses I had on my big toes front the tight Barricade toe box are almost gone now. Yes,
they are wider and I consider that a good thing for my toes. One thing I noticed was the flared heel. It looks like some running
shoes. It seems to provide a more confident heel to court landing on the dead run. The shoe has not bottomed out when hard heel
strikes are employed. So far so good. Nice job adidas.
From: Mark, 8/12
Comments: Spectacular shoe. I've always used the Nike Air Max line and decided to give
these a shot because of their wider toe box. I am impressed, as they don't hurt my feet
like other Adidas have in the past and they feel nothing like the clunky Barricade line. The shoe
most nearly feels like a running shoe built for the court, with more lateral support.
From: Peter, 8/12
Comments: The shoe is all that the description says, however, I have not had any previous adidas shoe
give me so many blisters around my ankles. I am wearing Thorlo level 1 and 3 socks, and still
have issues.
From: Kevin, 8/12
Comments: Fantastic shoes. Very supportive and I feel like they will be durable. Like Nic mentioned, the
toe box is a little wider than I would like. But the quality makes up for it. Wore it the first
night I got them and they felt great.
From: Ryan, 7/12
Comments: Amazing comfort out of the box. I have been looking for a light, speed-oriented
shoe for some time now. Always been a Barricade fan but I have found a new go-to shoe in
the Feather 2. One draw back for anyone who has narrow feet like me is the toe box, as it is very
roomy. However, it's worth the compromise. The shoe is seemingly durable, but nothing like a
