Menard Finishes 19th at the Track Too Tough to Tame
Starting from the 15th position, Paul Menard and the No. 27 Pittsburgh Paints/Menards Chevrolet faced handling issues throughout the 367-lap event, earning a 19th-place finish at Darlington Raceway. Shortly after the green flag flew, Menard began to struggle with a loose-handling condition and crew chief "Slugger" Labbe called for a variety of chassis adjustments during the ensuing pit stops. By lap 185 the series of track bar, wedge and air pressure adjustments provided some relief to Menard and he was running in the 12th position. Though running inside the top 15, long green flag runs, coupled with a loose race car, caused the Wisconsin native to fall a lap down to the leader on lap 271. Shortly after losing a lap, Menard came into the pits for four tires, fuel and a spring rubber adjustment. Upon entry to pit road, Menard struck the commitment cone and was assessed a pass though penalty causing him to fall to 22nd, three laps down to the leader. A series of caution flags followed in the closing laps of the 501-mile event, allowing Menard to take the "wave around" on two separate occasions. Gaining two of his laps back, Menard and crew never gave up and he was able to fight his way back inside the top-20 to finish 19th when the checkered flag flew. Menard now sits in 11thin the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series driver championship point standings.
Start - 15 Finish - 19 Laps Led - 0 Points - 11th
PAUL MENARD QUOTE: "It was a tough night for the No. 27 Pittsburgh Paints/Menards crew. We struggled with handling issues for the majority of the day, and I put us behind late with a pit road penalty. Slugger (Labbe, crew chief) made adjustments all night and we were able to catch a break at the end with those caution flags to get a couple of our laps back. We'll learn from tonight and move on to Charlotte next weekend, try to have some fun and race our way into the big show (All-Star Race) on Saturday night."
Harvick Hangs Tough to Finish Fifth at Darlington Raceway
Kevin Harvick and the No. 29 Budweiser team started 10th and persevered through some late-race adversity to finish fifth in the Southern 500 at Darlington Raceway on Saturday night. The Richard Childress Racing driver used his admirable starting position to methodically move forward in the early stages of the 367-lap race. By lap 50, he was running sixth finding different areas of the 1.366-mile oval to improve his speed. During several green-flag pit stops, Harvick told crew chief Gil Martin his car was loose in the turns. Under each of those stops, the Budweiser Chevrolet SS team changed four tires, made track bar and/or air pressure adjustments. With the first caution not waving until lap 125, and for only the second time on lap 303, the pit stops under green were paramount to remaining in the top 10. The only time Harvick didn't retain that level of track position was when he got caught a lap down under the second caution, which was four laps after a green-flag pit stop. However, they were able to take the wave around and return to lead lap status in 12th place. Three more cautions and the leader receiving a "Darlington Stripe" dropping him back all played into Harvick and the team's favor. They overcame and pushed on to finish fifth which, in turn, moved them up two spots to 10th in the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series driver championship points standings.
Start - 10 Finish - 5 Laps Led - 0 Points - 10th
KEVIN HARVICK QUOTE: "That was a pretty good run for this whole Budweiser Chevrolet team tonight. We were loose for most of the race and those long green-flag stops didn't help us any, either. When we got caught a lap down there, I thought it was going to ruin our night. But, we overcame that, had great stops on pit road and took advantage of things out of our control to finish fifth. It was a good night for this team."
Jeff Burton Finishes in 21st-Place at Darlington Raceway
Jeff Burton and the No. 31 Caterpillar Chevrolet team posted a 21 st-place finish in the Southern 500 at Darlington Raceway. The 21-time NASCAR Sprint Cup Series race winner started the 367-lap event in the 11th position and maintained a top-15 running position in the early stages of the race, despite wrestling with a tight-handling Chevrolet. As day turned into night, Burton battled an ill-handling condition throughout uncharacteristically long green-flag runs at the historic 1.366-mile race track which spread out the 43-car field, relegating the South Boston, Va., native multiple laps down to the leader while running in the top 20. In the final stages of the race, Burton wasn't able to recover from the tight-in and loose-off condition on the slick asphalt surface, but the veteran Sprint Cup Series driver stayed out of trouble during multiple incidents and picked up a position over the final 30 laps to bring home a 21st-place finish. Burton now sits 20th in Sprint Cup Series driver championship point standings.
Start-11 Finish-21 Laps Led-0 Points-20th
JEFF BURTON QUOTE: "That was a rough night for No. 31 Caterpillar team. We definitely didn't get the rotation we wanted to in the middle of the turns which pretty much set the tone for the evening. These guys never gave up and we were able to play strategy and gain some positions in the end. I'm proud of their effort. I'm confident our team will bounce back at Charlotte Motor Speedway these next two weekends."

Science-based Longevity Medicine
Much nonsense has been written in the guise of longevity medicine. In Fantastic Voyage, Ray Kurzweil explains why he takes 250 pills every day and spends one day a week at a clinic getting IV vitamins, chelation, and acupuncture. He is convinced this regimen will keep him alive long enough for science to figure out how to keep him alive forever. In Healthy Aging, Andrew Weil chips in with his own mixture of science and magic. I pointed out the flaws in their reasoning in a review for Skeptic magazine – available online. There are many other popular books that promise to tell you how to live longer. Most of them amount to little more than speculation based on extrapolations from animal studies, in vitro studies, and odd non-clinical facts.
There simply is no evidence that any intervention will extend the human life span. The most promising idea from animal studies, severe calorie restriction, is not practical or palatable and would make adequate nutrition difficult. We don't know how to prolong human life to, say, 130 years; but we do know how to prevent a number of diseases from causing premature demise at 60 or 70. That's what real "longevity medicine" means.
To counteract all the belief-based and speculation-based "longevity medicine," we needed a science-based longevity book. And now we have it. Carl Bartecchi, MD and Robert W. Schrier, MD have written a book entitled Living Healthier and Longer – What Works, What Doesn't. The price is right – it is available online for free download. (more…)

Leaders seek way to move forward
MONTPELIER Its been three years since the Legislature passed a law to encourage the consolidation of school districts and supervisory unions. Thus far, however, there has been nearly no movement toward consolidation, and state education officials are wondering what else they can do.
By a wide margin in August, the State Board of Education voted not to order the merger of the Battenkill Valley and Bennington-Rutland supervisory unions. The decision left Secretary of Education Armando Vilaseca looking at the effectiveness of Act 153, which provides financial incentives to encourage consolidation.
Its the smallest (supervisory union) in the state, Vilaseca said of Battenkill Valley, and if we cant make it happen there, whats the point of continuing to put these communities through the wringer?
It was a hand-wringing experience for residents of the Battenkill Valley member towns of Arlington, Sandgate and Sunderland, many of whom expressed reluctance to merge with Bennington-Rutland and were strongly opposed to merging with the Southwest Vermont Supervisory Union.
Act 153, and the accompanying legislation in Act 156, provides a host of financial perks to encourage consolidation, from $10,000 to conduct a study of the financial and educational benefits of consolidation, to $150,000 when a merger actually happens.
So far, there has been exactly one supervisory union consolidation, between the Rutland-Windsor and the Windsor Southwest supervisory unions, which as of July 1 are now collectively the Two Rivers Supervisory Union.
There has also been exactly one school district consolidation to create a regional education district, referred to by education officials as an RED. The southern Vermont mountain towns of Landgrove, Londonderry, Peru and Weston each of which was its own district merged with the Flood Brook Union School District to create the Mountain Towns RED.
That makes two mergers in three years. Others are possibly in the works; the Washington South Supervisory Union completed a study in January and is waiting for results from a study by Windsor Northwest, due to the State Board of Education in November.
A supervisory union is an administrative body created by the State Board of Education and consisting of two or more school districts.
Education officials are in agreement that consolidation must happen, while not necessarily agreeing on how to make it happen.
Its disappointing that more towns havent taken advantage of this, said Stephan Morse, chairman of the State Board of Education. With 300 school districts in the state, were not effectively providing the best education for our students.
Morse pointed to the states student population, which in the past four years has shrunk from about 110,000 students to less than 80,000.
We have an increasing cost and decreasing population, and from a corporate perspective, that would indicate we need to consolidate, he said.
On this point, he and Vilaseca are in agreement. Vilaseca pointed out that in the past year, the states student population decreased by 1 percent while education budgets rose by 5 percent.
Vilaseca said he would like to see more REDs, such as the Mountain Towns RED.
Im not a big fan of larger S.U.s, he said. The idea of having a school district that contains four or five towns is the way to go. They have local representation while retaining a measure of school choice.
Perhaps realizing that the current method of letting supervisory unions find each other and consolidate has not worked, state education officials this fall will take a big-picture look at consolidation.
What weve agreed to look at is the whole supervisory map, and see how we might encourage consolidation, Morse said.
Those discussions are still in the very early stages and it is unclear what additional methods the state might use to encourage consolidation, but Vilaseca pointed to the power that rests with the State Board of Education.
The Board has the authority at any time to review and reconfigure the boundary lines of an S.U., he said.
While the Board has the authority to consolidate districts, Morse was adamant that any consolidations must be voluntary.
Let me be clear here: I am opposed to mandatory consolidation, he said.

Two Department of Energy-supported programs are helping the Crow Tribe in Montana produce energy with minimal environmental impact, educate future generations and prepare its community for future jobs in energy fields.
At the heart of the Work Readiness Program and the Cultivation and Characterization of Oil Producing Algae Internship are 6-week intensive courses of study that teach real-world skills and provide opportunities for academic and industrial advancement in science, math and energy.
The programs are supported in part by the National Energy Technology Laboratory as well as the Many Stars Project, Accelergy Inc., the University of North Dakota's Energy & Environmental Research Center, Little Big Horn College and Montana State University. Ultimately, the two programs are helping the Crow Tribe take steps toward preserving local resources and jobs, and ultimately improving their reservation.
The Work Readiness Program teaches students classroom ba¬sics as well as specific job skills and how to apply these skills in a professional work setting. Students learn the basics of carpentry, welding, electrical work, rigging, reading blueprints, equipment operations and safety standards. Students graduating from the program are well-positioned to help improve the quality of life within the reservation.
For example, Fernando Long Soldier, a Crow Tribe member and program alumnus, is applying electrical skills learned in the program to infrastructure projects on the reservation, where he currently holds a supervisory position.
Members of the sponsoring organizations serve as teachers and mentors for the Work Readiness Program, but qualified Crow Tribe members are also encouraged to become instructors and contribute to the learning process. Robert Stewart, a Crow Tribe member and core education instructor for the program, helped design practical hands-on experiences, including an assigned task of building a 16-foot flatbed trailer.
"When the class was finished building the trailer, they were so proud of themselves that they had actually built it and it worked," said Stewart. "They were telling each other they are going to start building and selling their own trailers. That's what I wanted to hear!"
The Cultivation and Characterization of Oil Producing Algae Internship places students in a laboratory alongside established researchers to study local algae samples and evaluate their possible use in energy applications. The project focuses on Accelergy's integrated coal-to-liquid (ICTL) technology, which reforms local Montana bituminous coal and indigenous biomass feeds, like algae, into a liquid that is economical to transport and use as fuel.
The student interns are involved in every aspect of the research. During last summer's program, students collected algae at two different pond sites outside of the reservation, built bioreactors to grow the algae, harvested the algae, and then freeze-dried their samples to check the algae for oil quantities that could be useful to the ICTL technology.
Crow Tribe member Amanda Not Afraid, who completed the algae internship, said her experiences taught her "to see all the opportunities that lie outside of the reservation and what skills it would take to succeed there." Since graduating from the program, Amanda has enrolled as a freshman at Little Big Horn College and is pursuing a degree in pre-medicine.
Acceptance into the two programs is competitive. Similar to applying for college, students are required to submit a packet of personal information, essays, and letters of recommendation which are reviewed by a board of four members. Of the 70 applicants in 2011, 45 were chosen and 38 graduated. The students who successfully completed the internship program are now in the workforce or attending one of the sponsoring institutions.
Because of the programs' success, DOE has awarded additional funding to the algae internship, and outside funding was granted to Work Readiness Program, ensuring that both will be available to a new wave of students in summer 2012.

Where to even begin? My DD is 6 mos old and I have been back to work and pumping for about 3 months. I've noticed a dip in my supply and I'm not sure what to do. When I pump at work (about 3x a day) I don't seem to have enough milk for her when I nurse her that evening. However, when we nurse exclusively all weekend, I have plenty fo milk all day and into the eveing. It seems strange to me that pumping (both sides at once) doesn't *increase* my supply since when I nurse, DD only eats from one side at a time, so one breast could go 6 hours between feedings--(less stimuli, shouldn't it then produce less milk?)
Also, my left breast produces about one third of what my right produces (if I go by pumping output), and the supply in the left breast is the one that seems to be dwindling the most--so much so that DD cries at that breast becuase she doesn't get quick letdown and finishes rather quickly and needs more.
My first PPAF arrived last month and I noticed my supply dropped significantly during my period. How do other cope with this?
I have so many questions and I am so confused. I can't make my LLL meetings because of my work schedule. I miss them!
Any advice would be appreciated.

Three groups have filed a lawsuit against the Delaware River Basin Commission (DRBC) and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers over the issue of hydraulic fracturing. The groups are the National Parks Conservation Association (NPCA) the Delaware RiverKeeper Network and the Columbia Environmental Law Clinic.
The groups'charge, made frequently in the past, is that the DRBC and the Army Corps of Engineers should not allow drilling in the Delaware River Basin until its impacts are better understood. An August 4 press release said, "The impacts to water quality and quantity, air quality, recreation and the wildlife within and near treasured lands like the Upper Delaware National Scenic and Recreational River and Delaware Water Gap could be severe, and should be analyzed in an environmental impact study before drilling moves."
"When it comes to natural gas drilling in the Delaware River Watershed, the public has not had equal voice in the debate with the politicians and the drillers," said Delaware Riverkeeper Maya van Rossum. "The DRBC and the Army Corps have both rejected their obligation to protect the river and the common good by issuing draft gas rules without the required comprehensive environmental studies. They have allowed politics and their annual budget to drive the drilling debate within their agencies."
A number of environmental organizations have argued that as a federal agency DRBC is required under the National Environmental Protection Act to conduct an environmental impact study. The argument from the DRBC has been that it is not a federal agency.
According to various sources, the agency has also argued that while a study might be needed, there is no money to conduct one. But some critics, such as Barbara Arrindell, one of the founders of Damascus Citizens for Sustainability (DCS), said the DRBC could require the industry to pay for the study, and they have not yet considered that as an option.
DCS has separately filed a lawsuit against DRBC and the Army Corps, but their suit also names the National Park Service (NPS), the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) and numerous other agencies that make up the federal component of the DRBC.
Arrindell said the Army Corps sits at the table, but other agencies also have a role to play in the decision-making process. Some of the other agencies, such as NPS and FWS, have written letters saying that an environmental impact study should be completed before regulations are completed.
Arrindell said the DSC lawsuit calls not only for an environmental impact study, but also a study of the effects of fracking on human health, which, according to the group, has so far been largely ignored in the ongoing debate about gas drilling in the Marcellus Shale.
In a related development, an attorney for the government plans to ask a U.S. district judge to dismiss a similar suit against the Army Corps of Engineers and the DRBC filed by New York Attorney General Eric Schneiderman on May 31.
According to Legal Newsline (www.legalnewsline.com [2]), U.S. Attorney Loretta E. Lynch is arguing that Schneiderman does not have standing to bring the suit, and also that he filed the suit prematurely because the DRBC rulemaking process has not yet been completed.
August 9, 2011
Advocacy group seeks a full environmental impact review for Delaware River Basin Commission prior to adopting any gas development regulations.
Seeking to protect the Delaware River Basin and the health of the millions of people who live, work and play in the Basin, Damascus Citizens for Sustainability files lawsuit today against DRBC and federal government for failure to perform NEPA review emphasizing the critical need for a human health impact assessment before any gas development is allowed.
Alarmed by the Delaware River Basin Commission's (DRBC) proposal that it may permit an estimated 18,000 horizontal gas wells in the Delaware River watershed, Damascus Citizens for Sustainability (DCS) filed a lawsuit today against the DRBC itself and the federal representatives on the DRBC over the failure of DRBC and all other federal agencies with responsibilities in the watershed to prepare and consider a comprehensive environmental impact statement (EIS) before adopting regulations that will allow gas wells to be drilled throughout most of the watershed.
The lawsuit claims that it is against federal law for the DRBC and the agencies involved – the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, National Park Service, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, Department of the Interior, and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency -- to refuse to prepare an EIS.
DCS contends that the DRBC, which is in charge of protecting the water resources of the Delaware River Basin for current and future generations, did not conduct a full review as mandated under the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) of potential environmental impacts of shale gas development using high volume slick water hydraulic fracturing in the Delaware River Basin.
Several times in public hearings before the DRBC since it began consideration of shale gas development, DCS attorney Jeff Zimmerman has warned the Commissioners that the DRBC is violating NEPA in proposing gas development regulations without considering and making available to the public an environmental impact statement (EIS) examining the full range of potential impacts of gas development, slated to include the industry's estimate of 18,000 horizontal gas wells and associated infrastructure, in the special protection waters portion of the watershed.
In addition, DCS asserts that a Human Health Impact Assessment is a mandated component of a full NEPA EIS. "A comprehensive Health Impact Assessment is essential to understanding the full magnitude of impacts that will result to the people from decimating the ecosystem of the Delaware River Basin and converting it into an industrial zone," said Barbara Arrindell,
Director of DCS. Ms. Arrindell continued, "No less an authority than Dinah Bear, who for 25 years served as general counsel of the Council on Environmental Quality (CEQ) charged with overseeing implementation of NEPA, has written that the inclusion of a robust, systematic approach to public health is supported by NEPA and regulations issued by the CEQ. Further, by Executive Order, NEPA has also been utilized to assess any disproportionately high and adverse human health effects on children, minority and low-income populations."
"What we have in the Upper Basin is healthy, unique, and unspoiled," said Joe Levine of DCS. "The consequences of shale gas development to the health and well being of the people who live here will be devastating and a public health disaster."
Since impacts on human health have been reported with increasing frequency in gas drilling states, DCS contends it is incumbent on the DRBC and the federal agencies to assess the health impacts of drilling on air quality, water quality and quantity, noise and light pollution, chemical exposures and psychological stressors.
This is especially critical since neither Pennsylvania nor New York has undertaken health impact assessments of their own. The DRBC oversees the 13,539-square-mile area of the Delaware River Basin that supplies drinking water to approximately 15 million people, including residents of Philadelphia and NewYork City.
When the DRBC's proposed regulations are adopted, intense drilling will be allowed to proceed, risking surface water and groundwater contamination at each stage of the extraction, processing and distribution of the shale gas. Just to the west, in the Susquehanna River Basin, the number of contaminated water wells in the vicinity of gas drilling sites has been increasing despite recently issued guidelines by Pennsylvania's Department of Environment Protection intended to prevent such contamination.
Formed four years ago, DCS is a leading advocacy organization in the anti-fracking movement that provided significant guidance and support to filmmaker Josh Fox for his award-winning documentary, Gasland. DCS has challenged a number of decisions made by the DRBC that have put at risk irreplaceable water resources.
According to DCS' attorney Zimmerman, "You can't do the EIS after you've already made a decision. DRBC must stop the process, wait for the EIS to be completed, and then review the project again with everyone having access to the EIS and its comprehensive evaluation of all cumulative impacts, including risks to human health and safety."

Beauty_Intro_Angelina_v011 of 22
Little Lady2 of 22
By Abby Gardner
In 1986, a young Angelina stepped out at the Academy Awards with dad Jon Voight ... and she was already making style statements. The lace, the pearls and the feathered hair were all very of-the-moment.
Teen Spirit3 of 22
This 1991 shot is about as tame as Angie's looks would be for quite a few years. She may look conservative here, but a beauty rebellion was definitely a-brewing.
Wild Child4 of 22
See what we meant about rebellion? By 1997, Angelina had re-emerged in the public eye as an actor in her own right. And one with a darker side than Hollywood was used to, as evidenced by this shaved 'do.
Dark & Stormy5 of 22
Granted the late '90s offered up some of our least favorite makeup trends, but even this heavy eye and lip combo Angelina wore to a Gia premiere was not the norm. This was a girl who didn't care whether people thought her choices were "pretty" or not.
Switch Hitter6 of 22
And just when we thought we had Angelina's look figured out, she turns up with a blonde style that was much more Marilyn Monroe than downtown punk. Little did we know she'd be keeping us guessing for years to come.
Locked Up7 of 22
One thing that's never been questioned is Angelina's ability to immerse herself in her roles, both physically and mentally. And somehow she seems to look right in any style. Even this streaky, short-bangs look from her Oscar-winning turn as the troubled Lisa in Girl, Interrupted.
All That Glitters8 of 22
We loved this sleek updo paired with a glittery silver gown that Angelina chose for the Golden Globes in 1999, where she picked up a statue for Gia.
Tainted Love9 of 22
Ah, the Billy Bob years where we enter full-on wild child phase. Jet black hair, sultry makeup, vials of blood around the neck. And I think we all remember what Billy Bob let the world know about what happened in the car on the way to this event. Needless to say, the look is straight sexy.
Hell's Angel10 of 22
Angelina looks like the prettiest biker babe we've ever seen. This look is all about length, lips and leather. And if we thought for one second that we could pull it off, we'd totally try.
Witchy Woman11 of 22
Most stars turn to old Hollywood for inspiration while getting ready for the Oscars. Angie obviously preferred the ultimate goth princess, Morticia Addams. While the whole package might not be for everyone, the makeup is really rather stunning, especially that winged eye.
On Air12 of 22
For her next role, in Life or Something Like it, Angelina morphed into a blonde television reporter ... and yet again looked totally gorgeous.
Painted It Black13 of 22
This is hands-down our least favorite version of Angelina. We just can't endorse the super painted on brows, though admittedly even those can't hide the woman's insane beauty.
Hot Mama14 of 22
When she adopted her first child, Maddox, in 2002 Angelina obviously entered a new phase, and it showed in her beauty choices, too. Everything just seemed to soften a bit.
Citizen Of The World15 of 22
Around this time, Angie also got super involved in humanitarian causes. While she's obviously focused on more important things than her hair and makeup, we are still dumbfounded as to how one can look that beautiful without even trying.
Golden Girl16 of 22
A lighter and brighter Angie continued to emerge on the red carpet. She just seemed happier ... and more highlighted.
Suited Up17 of 22
We love a business casual Angelina too. This suit and wavy updo combination seems perfect for all her trips to the UN and Congress, right?
Suburban Chic18 of 22
The retro red lips and the chignon were perfect for her character, Clover, in The Good Shepherd. But they could just as easily be worn on the red carpet today.
My Goddess19 of 22
Does it get prettier than this? We're not sure it's possible. The loose hair and the nude glossy lips are our two favorite parts. But generally speaking, we'd give just about anything to look like this for one night.
Swept Away20 of 22
With every baby Brad Pitt and Angelina add to their brood, she seems to grow more and more serenely attractive. Gone are the wild, in-your-face choices ... and we can't say we miss them all that much.
Mommie Dearest21 of 22
The Angelina we see on the red carpet now is more earth mother than tough chick, especially when she's glowing and pregnant, with her hair falling around her shoulders.
The Siren Calls22 of 22
But not to worry, she still turns up the sex appeal, just a little differently than she used to. Now all it takes is a matte red lip and a side part. Can't wait to see what's next beauty-wise. ...

Fuze+ Review: The worst user interface ever
This review was written about the original firmware, as Rockbox is not ported to it yet.
I have used many mp3 players over the years: A Rio Volt 150 CD Mp3 player, a Cowon Iaudio x5, a Grundig Beezz RCD 6800 DEC(boombox), a Ipod Nano 4th gen, a Sansa Clip+ and now a Sansa Clip Zip. The Fuze+ is the first and only device I could not comfortably figure out how to use. The programmers who made the firmware and UI should be in a hall of shame. When you "lock" the player so accidental button depresses aren't possible, a large picture of a lock is constantly affixed on the screen so that you cannot see well what song is being played or where in a song you are at! Navigating your audio collection is also frustrating as the programmers tried to mimic a faux 3d perspective to file browsing instead of just using a file list. You have to hit the hit the middle of the touchpad to turn the retard faux 3d perspective into a file list, but that is an annoying extra step that you will often forget. Another problem is that I constantly lost my place in an album I was listening to, especially when I toggled it on/off, it played audiobooks I had out of sequential order, etc. The UI also didn't organize my music well.
The whole touchpad is another mistake, I cannot imagine trying to use it while driving as it lacks tactile feedback, so you need to look at the unit or how you will use it during night. The trackpad also didn't allow you to fast forward in a song or navigate up and down many files nearly as fast as an Ipod click wheel. Another strong caveat is that the unit is oversized, it is about the same size as my clamshell bare bones cellphone, which for me is too big. When you have that thing in your pocket and a cell, it is not comfortable, and when you add a wallet in the mix you just look like a shoplifter! I was also disappointed that I could not just download a 360p mp4 off of Youtube and watch it either, like on my former Ipod Nano 4th gen(which was released back in 2008). Conversion is another step, I would rather not go through. The player also takes way too long to shutdown and turn back on.
For all these weaknesses, I have to say this is the worst mp3 player I have ever used. Even after 10 days, I still didn't feel like I knew how to use it, so I returned it to Bestbuy. If anyone is reading this, don't ever think about buying this turd online. Why try to save a maximum of $10 or less for a unit you may want an easy return option with at a local retailer. Even when Rockbox comes to this player, it will still be quite bulky and the trackpad needs too much attention. When I did the return/exchange I got a Sansa Clip Zip yesterday. Already I am fully comfortable using it, and the much slighter size is relieving after using the Fuze+.

I was using the latest firmware listed here: http://forums.sandisk.com/t5/Fuze/Sa...01/td-p/226238
which is 02.37.01
It was still buggy crap, and words cannot describe how awful the UI is, my review fails to do that justice. It is a frustration you have to experience yourself to empathize with. Even with a looming Rockbox release there were other major issues I did not like besides the software.
I have tried going back to mine several times and always end up tossing it back in a drawer. I like having it for those times when i don't want to expose my good equipment to "danger".
IDvsEGO and others who cannot return, you can try to offer it as a trade on a site like Craigslist(for those outside the US: a site that mimics newspaper classified ads, but is free for most uses) for another item you want of a similar or greater monetary value. That way you can get rid of something you don't want for something you do. Not too long ago using that method I traded a new Osprey hydration pak that cost $47 for a Yakima car roof rack setup worth over $200!
I just emboldened the part of my review about how you should not buy this item online instead of a brick and mortar store with a good return policy... So many are unhappy with it, even on Sandisk's official forum there are lots of frustrated people complaining that it is not very usable.

Yeah, I gave the Fuse+ a test run at BB, and it was a horrible experience at best. IMO they failed miserably on this.

Even with Rockbox I would give up on it. IMHO, the hardware design is undesirable no matter what firmware you have on it, too bulky + bad trackpad paradigm.
Bought one used for $20 just to play with. I agree the touch controls are a TOTAL FAIL . Updated to the latest & greatest software 11-22-11. I tried to like it, everything other than the controls are wonderfull.
Going to gift it to a friend, and try a sansa clip.
Seriously though, the Rockbox port is making progress. There's never any telling where that will wind up but if all you paid is $20 it might be worth hanging on to see how well that works out.
The hardware is decent. It's tough to get more for the price. It wasn't decent enough to make up for wanting to take a hammer to it at least twice a day.
A Glossary For Newbies Why Rockbox? FLAC or MP3? How To Ask Questions The Smart Way
Whoever engineered this thing is on crack!
I'd asked for one of these last year, and ended up with a Clip...which was ok aside from the audio jack developing a short...anyway got the + which I didn't want anymore but what can ya do when it's a gift but fake it. Man this thing sucks....just horrible all the way around, still can't get SD cards to recognize, navigation is awful, it constantly picks up movement and changes tracks(can't make it lock either to avoid this for some reason), I liked older sansa products but this will be the last one I ever try.....epic fail.
Actually, I've ended up buying several used ones for gifts. Dirt cheap, my non tech savvy friends & nieces don't care about the interface. If they only last 6 months, that's ok also. It's kind of an introduction to mp3 players and personal tech. and it sets the bar low so their next device oughta knock their socks off.
I LIke My Sansa Fuze+
I keep wondering what I am missing or did I get the wrong player because I am having none of the problems with the Fuze+ that others are talking about. I upgraded to the latest firmware and I find the player a good , decent sounding, easy to use mp3 player. I was prepared for the worst after reading all the negative responses and I don't doubt the claims but I think it is a pretty easy player to get used to. The menu's are clear and easy to navigate, the music sounds good with the built in eq, and I just added a 16gb sd card so now I have 20gb worth of music to listen to. I use WMP to manage my music( I don't care much for Rhapsody) and I am a happy camper. I feel bad that so many are having problems and I almost didn't buy a Fuze because of what I was reading but overall I am really glad I did. The sound is very good and for around $50.00 for the 4gb model you just can't beat all the features and having the ability to add more memory makes it even better. Sorry for all the negatives but I would gladly endorse this player to a friend or family member!
I believe that part of what accounts for the reports of a terrible UI is that different people have different expectations and use patterns when it comes to DAPs. What may be acceptable to one can be intolerable to the next.
If you are a "start it and forget it" user the UI won't seem too bad. A little wonky maybe but tolerable. If you're like me and change between playlists, start and stop playback frequently and are looking for easy one hand control, the Fuze+ just doesn't work. Any player that requires I stop, concentrate my full attention and use both hands to make a change in what's playing just isn't for me regardless of it's other features and price.
A Glossary For Newbies Why Rockbox? FLAC or MP3? How To Ask Questions The Smart Way
Gotta agree with Audie61. Might be my expectations are low (I had an ancient no-name MP3 player, then used my phone as my MP3 player). Updating the firmware was a non-event. Copying my songs over was a non-issue. The user interface works just fine for me (I did read the online manual first).
Not knocking other peoples reviews. Their experience and their expectations are there own. But for me, I just select an Album, an Artist or a Genre and let it shuffle through. Did 4 or 5 hours of British Invasion Genre while catching up on cleaning around the house today. Just put it in my pocket, scrubbed away. 4 or 5 hours later the house was sparkling and I was smiling having listened to a LOT of music. No touching anything (other than to start it). I couldn't mess with it anyway, I was too busy scrubbing.
I really like my Fuze+, and stopped giving longing glances to my wife's and my son's brand that can not be named. Tomorrow is Rockabilly or Surf and yard work. Once again, I'll just select the Genre, set it to shuffle, stuff it in a pocket and let it go for a couple hours.
I just got one of these.....no card installed. The touchpad is sensitive, yes....but since I have a couple of touchscreen players, it was simple enough to get my settings in place, and now that I have some music on it, it works just fine as a shuffle player.
I did briefly install Rockbox, and after a few minutes removed it....I couldn't get the touchpad to cooperate at all! I'll give it another shot at a later date, but for now, as strictly a shuffle player (I didn't load entire albums, just preferred songs, so I'll rarely need to skip tracks) it works fine and sounds good as the Sansa players always seem to.

2012 Nexus 7 32GB, Asus MeMoPad 8 16+64GB, LG Optimus G Pro, Nokia Lumia 900 and Lumia 520
It's a 16GB model, so when Rockbox is in better shape, I could drop a 32GB card in it and have a 48GB player in theory...but for now, the 16GB internal is fine.
iPod Touch 5G 32GB, Touch 4G 32GB, Clip Sport 8GB. Rockbox-> Clip Zip 4GB, iPod Nano 2G 4GB, iPod 5.5G 80GB
2012 Nexus 7 32GB, Asus MeMoPad 8 16+64GB, LG Optimus G Pro, Nokia Lumia 900 and Lumia 520
I think that I'm glad that I found this forum as I was on the point of ordering the SanDisk Sansa Fuze+ 8GB but I have now read so many adverse reports that the weight of wisdom against doing so has left me with a dilemma!
Do I plough on regardless and make my purchase, or go back to square one and start looking all over again? Maybe I have an advantage in that I have never owned or used an MP3 player apart from listening to a few tracks and the radio on my Samsung Galaxy 2 phone (lovely bit of kit!) so I have no preconceived notions about what I should be looking for. Very slow reaction time does worry me a bit as does the apparent leaping about of menus etc to unwanted places.
There are obviously a lot of people out there with massively more experience and knowledge about these matters than I so might I ask them for some pointers toward an MP3/4 player that will not keep me up all night crying?
My particular interest is in something upon which I can download audio books and importantly be able to bookmark or return to the point where I had left off reading on the precious occasion. Music comes second and a radio in close third place esp if it can be recorded directly; pictures and video are not particularly important - my phone is quite adequate for them.
I suppose that I should have put as my first criterion 'the cost'. Finances are very tight at the moment so my budget would be up to £50, I have looked at a 'Kubik Evo' which looks ok but reading the reports on that again reveals polarised views.
So, if there are any learned people out there who can help this impoverished and financially challenged silver surfer - I'd love to have the benefit of your advice. Thank you in anticipation!

This past November, I met a 2nd cousin,1x removed, who told me that our Great-great grandmother Mary Burns (McPherson) was a cousin of Scotland''s bard, Robert Burns. She reverently unwrapped a small book, more like a pamphlet, of Rabbie's poems to share with me. The little book had been in her family since the time of her great grandmother, and possibly belonged to our great-great-grandmother. The occasion for this small book was a celebration of his birthday --- and in the mid 1800s, the Scots of Scotch Lane in the village of Springdale, Wisconsin, took their Highland roots to heart. Since that November day, I have poked and prodded my computer, a lookin' for connections in the heather that might span time and ocean and prove that this Scots heart of mine beats in family tune with that of our dear Rabbie Burns.
Alas so close it might be, but sorely no proof – yet. And this wee poem shows no poet-proof for me.
"Cousin" Rabbie
t'is a new year 'n month of January
the time mi thoughts turn to Rabbie
y'know, mi bard, young Rabbie Burns
castin' sweet looks 'n words on a lassie
nights still long n' by flickering l'ght
a book of Rabbie's poems I hold
more close to mi heart as I am told
Rabbie's a cousin - tho generations b'ck
hi' words beck'n t'mi many a year
"wee sleekit, cowerin,' timorous beastie"
"O my luve is like a red, red rose"
long been music to m' ear
so I now be cousin-like
wear'n mi plaid, 'n drink'n a pint
wi' all list'n to yer words
dream'n of heather 'n thistle down

When Maurice Lindsay left the RFL they were massively in debt - the number Ł2m springs to mind, but I could be wrong. The 2000 World Cup was a financial disaster. It has taken years for the RFL to get back on track financially.
Wasn't Neil Tunicliffe in charge for the 2000 WC?
Was it Lindsay who was in charge when we were taking Tests to Wembley etc?

I thought it would be fun to craft my own set. And why not share it? You can do this yourself or let your kids (6+) get crafty. Have fun!
Within the last two years my nativity set has been downloaded so many times. In fact: over 16.000 times.
It's completely free for you to use but if you can spare a little, I would be incredibly grateful.
Download the colouring picture: here
- Download the pre-coloured PDF or the PDF to colour yourself.
- Print the 2 pages on thick paper or thin cardboard. Set your print quality to high, for better details.
- Cut out the figures.
- Glue them and voila!
Do I have to pay for your nativity set?
No, it's free. If you do feel that it's worth a small donation, I would be very grateful! A lot of hard work has gone into this. You can find the donation button at the top of this page.
I'm a teacher. Can I use this nativity set in my class room?
Yes, you can!
I want to sell prints of your nativity set. Is that okay?
No, absolutely not. I give this set away for free (eventhough it has cost me weeks of work) so it's not okay for you to sell them.
I want to blog/write/publish about your nativity set. How do I do that?
I would love it if you write about it! :) What I ask in return is credit. So please mention my name (Marloes de Vries) and my website (www.marloesdevries.com). If you need more information or have any questions, you can write me an email at hello (at) marloesdevries.com. I will give you all the information you need.

I have joined Facebook, but much most of it is still a mystery to me. I have become Friends with George Takei, and I don't know how that happened. But he posts a lot of funny things, and this I saw today:
Two men walk into a bar, the first orders some H20. The 2nd. one says 'Sounds good, I'll have some H20 too.
The second man died.

Ideas for Labor Day Weekend
Hey Everybody,
I haven't been in Townsend since the Fall. My wife and I are coming in town this Thursday-Monday. I know coming to fish on a holiday weekend isn't the best choice, but my wife is on a break from school, so this is the best chance I will get for a little while. Anyway, when I'm in town I always fish Little River from Metcalf up to Elkmont. I must be a creature of habit b/c this is about all I ever fish. I know with the crowds this weekend that all my favorite places are likely to be filled by others. The only options that come to my mind for getting away from the crowds are going above elkmont on Little river or hiking up Tremont. I'd like to get away from the crowds a little and catching some brookies would be an added bonus since neither Me or my Wife have ever fished for brookies in the park. If anyone has any better advice than up above elmont or tremont it would be greatly appreciated. Of course I will try some of my favorite spots on little river in the early morning just because I can't resist it, but it would be nice to get away a little and have some uncrowded water. Lastly, I will say that my wife isn't interested in any 4-5 mile walks/hikes, which will reduce some of my options, but wanted you all to know I am somewhat limited in that respect.
Re: Ideas for Labor Day Weekend
I think this weekend will be excellent for fishing. The weather is supposed to be cooling off towards the end of this week and the fish should be really starting to feed as fall gets nearer. If you want to try for some brookies, drive up above Gatlinburg and hit the West Prong of the Little Pigeon. For brookies, I would probably fish just about anywhere from the Chimney's Picnic Area and up. Walker Camp Prong would be a good option. Don't expect to be alone though. It is going to be pretty hard to find solitude without a good hike, particularly this weekend. Head over the hill and try the 'luftee for something new also. Good luck with your trip!

Re: Ideas for Labor Day Weekend
Hey SC,
A few more thoughts for you. First would be: get out early. Not many people out before 9:00 in my experience. If you park at the sinks you can access the Meigs creek trail. It has some nice brookies and is one of the streams which was previously closed. If the Little River is low you may be able to wade over to the mouth of Meigs, it is the waterfall you see downstream of the Sinks. I will warn you though it is awfully tight to my thinking.
another thought is to drive to the end of Tremont Road and head up either Lynn Camp Prong or if you go to the right you can fish up Thunderhead Prong. You will come across brookies on LCP above the falls. Thunderhead is a rainbow fishery, both should be shady and cool. Don't expect the size fish you will take from the stretch of Little River you fish, that has the highest concentration of big fish in the park.
For larger fish the Luftee as Plateau Angler said is a pretty good bet, but a pretty far drive from Townsend. Sunrise on Newfound Gap would be a beautiful sight along the way.
One more thought but a bit of a drive is Parson's Branch, probably not good for this weekend though because the bikers will be swarming like flies! Again though if you get there early, the bikers as a rule don't come out before 9:00. If you get there early you will far enough up the trail that you wont even hear them. Parsons branch is accessed by the foothills parkway to 129 and left toward NC. Pass the lakes, head up through deals gap. It crosses the road about 10 minutes from the lookout of Calderwood Dam.
Tight lines,
Re: Ideas for Labor Day Weekend
As an afterthought; the largest Brown I have caught to date came on Labor Day weekend 2004. Working a slow run blind with a heavy size 14 golden stone nymph about 3' below an indicator. Right at 20". Nearly yanked the rod out of my hand when I set the hook! We've had some rain this week and they should be cool and on the prowl!
Tight lines!
Re: Ideas for Labor Day Weekend
I agree with Plateau Angler to fish for Specks above the Chimney picnic area and up. There are some good areas above the Chimneys trailhead along the road that do not require hiking. The only problem is having to listen to all the cars and motorcycles coming down the mtn. I would rather go to Greenbriar and get away from the crowds.We are finally getting some much needed rain here this week and the rivers should be in great shape this weekend.
Re: Ideas for Labor Day Weekend
I want to say thanks to everyone for the responses so quickly. As of right now I'm leaning toward heading above the chimneys picnic area or maybe trying Lynn camp prong Of course this is on top of hitting my favorite places on little river in the early A.M. in the hopes of catching a few nice fish. Don't know what it is, but ever since I started cathcing browns on little river its all I have wanted to do for the last several years when I'm in town. I guess its finally time to broaden my horizons as a fly fisherman. If anyone has anymore advice, please don't stop now. I just wanted to take a minute and say thanks for the advice so far.
Re: Ideas for Labor Day Weekend
a good idea if you want some solitude would be to park at the rainbow falls trailhead and hike 5-10 minutes. you will start paralleling leconte creek. there are some really good pools with tons of brookies. i fished it for 10 minutes and caught 4, all of them bigger than the ones i caught in walker camp prong. hope this helps.

This week's reviews: 'The Other Woman' is a main attraction
A cleaned-up version of the raunchy hit Bridesmaids sounds like a dangerous proposition, but in the hands of Cameron Diaz and Leslie Mann, The Other Woman succeeds. It is a buddy comedy that works, delivering crisp dialogue that elevates the premise.
Mann, the star of Judd Apatow films including The 40-Year-Old Virgin and Knocked Up, plays Kate, a wife whose husband (Nikolaj Coster-Waldau, a.k.a. Jaime Lannister on Game of Thrones) is cheating on her with Carly (Diaz). Nicki Minaj and Don Johnson are also funny in their supporting parts. Kate Upton is easy on the eyes in her role as the other other woman, but her stilted performance leaves much to be desired.
Getting revenge on the three-timing cheat brings the women together, and a sharp script keeps the audience involved although the movie is a touch too long, according to critic Roger Moore.
"...Melissa Stack's script has snap and crackle to go with the pop — making the female wish-fulfillment fantasy an "Eat, Pray, Revenge" that delivers the punches that two Sex and the City movies never could," Moore said in his review.

This week's reviews: Jude Law turns on charm at right time
If you were to boil Jude Law down to his very essence, the remaining substance might be affability.
His roles, from Watson in the latest Sherlock Holmes series, the titular lothario in Alfie to his turn in The Talented Mr. Ripley, seem to ooze charisma. Playing a prison-hardened safecracker in Dom Hemingway, Law is forced to shift his charm into overdrive.
Law sports a different look for his latest role, gaining weight while losing hair. He lightens his characters rougher points, "through the sheer force of his winning personality," according to critic Peter Tonguette.
While the era of the movie can at times seem nebulous, what Law brings to his part is never in doubt.
"Many of the actors, sporting sideburns and double-breasted suits, seem to fit a story set in the 1970s, but, in most other ways, the setting suggests the present," Tonguette said in his review. "What is crystal clear is that Law has made Dom a scoundrel with an elan all his own."
He rated Dom Hemingway three stars.

This week's reviews: Cleveland Browns on the Silver Screen
It is a new year, and optimistic Cleveland Browns fans wait with breathless anticipation to hear the name of the player they will take in the first round of the draft. It might be a quarterback; it might not be. But whoever is selected is the player that fans hope will lift the team out of the moat of despair in which they have languished for the last five decades or so.
Stop me if you have heard this one before.
Actually, this isn't the scouting report on the forthcoming NFL Draft. Rather, it is the plot of Draft Day, the latest movie from sports-film icon Kevin Costner.
Also starring Jennifer Garner, Frank Langella and Dennis Leary, Draft Day features many cameo appearances from sports personalities. While the movie is full of big names and intrigue, Draft Day doesn't have much action until the actual draft starts, according to critic Roger Moore.
"...for the casual fan and the casual moviegoer, it can be a bit of a melodramatic bore," Moore said in his review. "The ticking-clock thriller doesn't really get going until the teams are truly 'on the clock.'"
Costner carries the film, while some of his co-stars seem to be mailing it in.
"Costner and Garner are good, and Langella is properly menacing," Moore said in his review. "But Leary has lost his fastball and seems to be holding something back in his quarrel scenes with Costner."

A safe space for unpopular opinions about Columbus
If there's one activity Columbus loves, it's cheerleading.
We rename our streets to reflect our accomplishments — just look at the corner of COMMIT TO BE FIT and Top 7 Intelligent Community Way, otherwise known as Front and Broad Streets.
We're fiercely defensive of our foodie culture — when Anthony Bourdain brought his No Reservations to Columbus, for example, Cleveland food author Michael Ruhlman caused an uproar when he referred to the state capital as Applebee's country.
We just don't want to hear the haters, even if they live here themselves. For better or for worse, an enduring aspect of Columbus culture is that even constructive criticism is often shot down before critics can be heard.

This week's reviews: Captain America keeps the action coming
There are bigger superheroes. There are flashier superheroes. Few of these Marvel stars, however, have satisfied on the silver screen quite like Captain America.
The patriotic protagonist, played by Chris Evans, returns for the second installment of the series. Like the latest films involving his cohorts, this movie takes place after the events of The Avengers.
Joining Evans on his latest adventure are the Black Widow (Scarlett Johansson) and Nick Fury (Samuel L. Jackson).
Though there are dark themes at work in Captain America: The Winter Soldier, directors Anthony and Joe Russo handle the material with a humorous touch that makes the film work, according to critic Melissa Starker. While some of the plot gets lost in the action, the movie succeeds throughout.
"With a visual style akin to the nail-biting work of director Paul Greengrass (Captain Phillips) and a slate of riveting action scenes (the 10-man fight in an elevator is especially impressive), the movie sometimes loses sight of its deeper story elements," Starker said in her review. "But their presence makes this superhero saga that much easier to admire."
She rated the movie three-and-one-half stars.

Members of the genus Bison are large, even-toed ungulates within the subfamily Bovinae. Two extant and four extinct species are recognized. The surviving species are the American bison, also known as the American buffalo (although it is only distantly related to the true buffalo), Bison bison (with two subspecies, the plains bison, Bison bison bison, and the wood bison, Bison bison athabascae), found in North America, and the European bison, or wisent (Bison bonasus), found in Europe and the Caucasus. While these species are usually grouped into their own genus, they are sometimes included in the closely related genus Bos,[1] together with cattle, gaur, kouprey and yaks, with which bison have a limited ability to interbreed.
The American bison and the European wisent are good swimmers and are the largest terrestrial animals in North America and Europe. Bison are nomadic grazers and travel in herds. The bulls leave the herds of females at 2 or 3 years of age, and join a male herd which is generally smaller than the female herds. Mature bulls rarely travel alone. Both sexes get together for the reproductive season, towards the end of the summer.[2] American bison are known for living in the Great Plains. Both species were hunted close to extinction during the 19th and 20th centuries, but have since rebounded. The American plains bison is no longer listed as endangered, but the wood bison is on the endangered species list in Canada.[3]
Although superficially similar, there are a number of physical and behavioural differences between the American and European bison. The American species has 15 ribs, while the European bison has 14. The American bison has four lumbar vertebrae, while the European has five.[4] Adult American bison are not as rangy in build, and have shorter legs.[5] American bison tend to graze more, and browse less than their European cousins. Their anatomies reflect this behavioural difference; the American bison's head hangs closer to the earth than the European's. The body of the American bison is typically hairier, though its tail has less hair than that of the European bison. The horns of the European bison point through the plane of their faces, making them more adept at fighting through the interlocking of horns in the same manner as domestic cattle, unlike the American bison, which favours butting.[6] American bison are more easily tamed than their European cousins, and breed with domestic cattle more readily.[7]
Genetic history
A 2003 study of mitochondrial DNA indicated four distinct maternal lineages in tribe Bovini:
However, Y chromosome analysis associated wisent and American bison.[8] An earlier study using amplified fragment length polymorphism (AFLP) fingerprinting showed a close association of wisent and American bison and probably with yak, but noted that the interbreeding of Bovini species made determining relationships problematic.[9]
During the population bottleneck, American bison were interbred with domestic cattle. Accidental crossings were also known to occur. Generally, male domestic bulls were crossed with buffalo cows, producing offspring of which only the females were fertile. Genetic analysis has found a high degree of intermixture in modern commercial bison herds. Some cattle breeds are intentionally bred with bison to produce, for instance, Beefalo hybrids. Wisent-American bison hybrids were briefly experimented with in Germany (and found to be fully fertile) and a herd of such animals is maintained in Russia all the time. A herd of cattle-wisent crossbreeds (Zubron) is maintained in Poland. First-generation crosses do not occur naturally, requiring caesarean delivery. First-generation males are infertile.
Wallowing is a common behavior of bison. A bison wallow is a shallow depression in the soil, either wet or dry. Bison roll in these depressions, covering themselves with mud or dust. Possible explanations suggested for wallowing behavior include grooming behavior associated with moulting, male-male interaction (typically rutting behavior), social behavior for group cohesion, play behavior, relief from skin irritation due to biting insects, reduction of ectoparasite load (ticks and lice), and thermoregulation.[10] In the process of wallowing, bison may become infected by the fatal disease anthrax, which may occur naturally in the soil.[11]
The bison's temperament is often unpredictable. They usually appear peaceful, unconcerned, even lazy, yet they may attack anything, often without warning or apparent reason. They can move at speeds of up to 35 mph (56 km/h) and cover long distances at a lumbering gallop.[12]
Their most obvious weapons are the horns borne by both males and females, but their massive heads can be used as battering rams, effectively using the momentum produced by 2,000 pounds (900 kg) moving at 30 mph (50 km/h). The hind legs can also be used to kill or maim with devastating effect. At the time bison ran wild, they were rated second only to the Alaska brown bear as a potential killer, more dangerous than the grizzly bear. In the words of early naturalists, they were a dangerous, savage animal that feared no other animal and in prime condition could best any foe.[12]
The rutting, or mating, season lasts from June through September, with peak activity in July and August. At this time, the older bulls rejoin the herd, and fights often take place between bulls. The herd exhibits much restlessness during breeding season. The animals are belligerent, unpredictable and most dangerous.[12]
Bison have a fairly simple diet. The bison's main food is grass. Bison also eat the low-lying shrubbery that is available. In the winter, bison forage in the snow looking for grass. If there is little grass available, bison have to resort to eating the twigs of shrubs.[citation needed]
Due to their large size, few predators attack bison. However, wolf packs can take down a bison. There are even documented cases of a single wolf taking down bison (Schmidt & Mech, 1997). Brown bears will also prey on calves, and commonly drive off wolves to take over their kills.[2]
The main cause of illness in bison is malignant catarrhal fever (MCF).[13]

Growing up in South Louisiana, I looked forward to the summertime. It was a time away from school and organized learning. It allowed me and my friends to play all day and stay up late at night.
We would go to the community parks and playgrounds for summer sports and activities. But as much as we anticipated summertime with its easy living, we would have to content with heat and hurricanes. Living in the southern states, particularly Louisiana and Texas, you can expect days with 100-plus degree weather and storms that could destroy property and lives. We would have to make sure that we had a place of shade from the heat and shelter from the storms.
The same truth applies to our lives. There is a need for a place to go to for relief and shade from the heat of life. We need a place where we can run to for shelter from the storms that can overtake us spiritually even physically. The Lord promises that He will provide for those who seek him to be a shade and shelter.
Listen to the words of the Prophet Isaiah, "There will be a shelter to give shade from the heat by day, and refuge and protection from the storm and the rain."
The God of Glory promises to be a source of protection from the elements of life that seek to sap their strength or wash them away by the rains of adversity. God is faithful to shade and shelter the faithful who place their trust in Him.
As you and I approach the beginning of the summer months with its forecasted record heat and hurricanes, let us be mindful to know where you can find shade and shelter from the elements. So to with your soul, you can find shade and shelter in Jesus Christ.
Have a great summer.

text: My son will be 5 months at the end of the month (he's growing so fast ) and we are going to try starting rice cereal at the beginning of August. We aren't really sure what the best way is for introducing solids to him. I am exclusively BFing and what to know how many times a day do I give him solids when I start and how much I should give him? Also, do I BF first and then give him the cereal or the other way around? What are some of your schedules for feeding your LO's? I don't really go much by a schedule for feeding because he is fed on demand still but for the most part he eats around the same time everyday ... usually he wakes at 8am and eats, then between 10:30-11:30pm, between 1:30-2:30pm, around 5pm, and when he goes to sleep at 7:30pm. So I would need something that works sort of with those times. Any other information about starting solids while breastfeeding would be soooo great! Thanks

Pelosi Sets 'The Record Straight' on Dem Budget Cuts, Entitlement Reform

Freedom Newspapers
Have you heard about the "Superpooch" who lives in the fertile mind of a local fifth-grader?
Read the editor's Web log at:
Internet free speech isn't under attack just in the People's Republic of China, where "at least 23 journalists and about 50 cyberdissidents are in jail," according to a 2004 report by Reporters Without Borders, a civil-rights group.
Internet free speech also is under attack, albeit in a much different way, in the country that invented the Net — the United States.
On Nov. 2, the House of Representatives failed to pass a law, HR1606, which would have banned the Federal Election Commission from regulating blogs — short for web logs, Internet sites on which people post their thoughts, sometimes many times a day, on anything from politics to pelicans.
The failure to pass HR1606 "in effect clears the way for the government to move ahead with rule-making to govern political speech and campaign spending on the Internet," The Associated Press reported Nov. 3.
One of those strongly opposing HR1606 was Rep. Marty Meehan, D-Mass. He griped that allowing unregulated blogs opens up "new avenues for corruption to enter the political process," AP reported.
You might as well say the same thing about any unregulated free speech.
"The FEC will now come up with some regulatory rules for the Internet," said John Samples, director of the Center for Representative Government at the Cato Institute. "At a minimum, it will regulate blogs directly funded by parties. There is no longer a barrier between election speech and other kinds of speech."
He said it has yet to be determined by the FEC to what extent private blogs will be regulated. It's possible, he said, the FEC could limit regulations only to those directly related to campaigns.
But if the FEC goes toward the other extreme, regulation could get really tight. We wonder if Joe Blogger could be regulated if, say, his hardly seen blog includes a link to make contributions to a politician or group? "Yes, it could come into play," Samples said.
The Internet is an incredibly economical way to exchange ideas and data. Restrictions would seem to fly in the face of the First Amendment, which reads, "Congress shall make no law … abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press."
It's simply shameful that Congress did not pass HR1606.

I think it's slightly less impressive than their previous, but great anyway. The band deserves wide recognition. Why that is not the case is beyond me.

To me these guys sound like Slough Feg, another great band who deserve far more recognition.

Hi all, I am at my absolute wits end atm. I this is the second child I have breastfed, my first now being 18months and I fed her till 8months when my milk dried up due to pregnancy. After initial latching problems with her, breastfeeding was in general pretty smoothly so I expected this one to be just the same.
My baby is now almost 3months old and has not been gaining very much weight at all for the past month or so (only 2oz this week) and despite being seen by numerous health visitors and paediatrician no one seems to have any idea why or what I should do. I have in the past had OALD though I managed to fix that by around 1month and now just feed 1 side each feeding. She feeds every 2hrs from 5am till 7-9pm (depending on her bedtime) and has a feed around 12-1am at night so roughly 10feeds per day.
The latest thing I have been advised to do is to express in between feeds and use that to top her up after each feed but when I tried this the feed after I had expressed she just fussed the whole time and barely had anything. She had 2oz after doin that which I didnt think was a huge amount. Please can someone help give me an idea of what I should be doing, I really dont want to have to stop breastfeeding. plus that would be just as hard as she also has a milk allergy
Sorry if I have rambled a bit, I'm rather stressed about it all atm, having just spent 5hrs at the hospital and come away with nothing.
