Some retailers said they have found the best price for movie rentals: $0. Offering free-movie rewards for using loyalty cards and other frequent-shopper programs encourages consumers to spend more money in stores, according to some retailers who offer the incentive promotions. "If they can get something for free, people always like that," said Michael Filice, an employee at Quality Market and Video, Salinas, Calif. Quality, a small independent grocer offering video rental, said the store ...

Compare Abarth Garages and Specialists in Camberley with Who Can Fix My Car.
Great work.
Really excellent service and attention to detail. Care on everything and even the washer fluid level was topped up when the vehicle was returned. I will be using this mechanic again for certain.
Good communication beforehand. Job took <1 hour at Joe's workshop. Recommended.
He comes even if was late, cold and rain. Unfortunate he couldn't run a complet diagnosis because my car didn't start.
Great guy. Great work
Gary was good to his word, not only diagnosing the strange noise straight away but picked my car up - fixed and returned, even with a smile Definitely recommended
Excellent service. Collected the car and returned within a day. Very efficient and competitive price. Will definitely use them again over Audi. Also a very professional service and polite manner that was much appreciated.
Fantastic service - honest, reliable and good communication! I'll be using them again and would definitely recommend
Good service
Job completed as agreed, professional service, would recommend highly.
Brilliant service, got the car back to me incredibly quickly, and the only reason the price changed was because my brake pads were very worn, and so they were changed as well. My tire pressure was also checked and adjusted, woithout any additional fee. I felt informed during the entire process, kept up to date on what was going on, and didn't feel (as with some garages) like I was being taken for a fool, or spoken to like an idiot. Shippy was friendly, chatty, informative, and is absolutely going to be my go-to for any future issues, and most likely my MOT and service as well! Couldn't have been any better!
Quick, efficient and polite service, great responses, extremely competitive price and quality of works done. As a female that requires a bit more information I was very pleased with simple process and they were very helpful dealing with matters in regards of my warranty company. Definitely recommend and will have all the works done here from now on.
First rate service. Quoted on Sunday night. Picked up car on Monday afternoon and delivered it back in the evening at 9pm. Shippy and his team are exceptional.
Really pleased with the service from the Guys at WLE, dropped my car off an hour earlier than agreed and was greeted with nothing but pleasantness, returned to collect my car 3 hours later and was shown the old Cambelt and pump as it was evident it was lucky to still be in tact. My car was left without a mark and was given more than enough information about the job. Great guys with better service, will be using you exclusively for the future.
Very competitive great job all cleaned upper completion
Good service
The Guys were knowledgeable, the work was done on time while I waited. Excellent job
Nice, straight forward transaction. Good service.
Fantastic! Booked in for the next day, was quickly sorted out and straightforward explanation of what had been done. I would highly recommend them.
Wasn't the cheapest quote I received, but they came highly recommended & had good feedback. They didn't fail to deliver a great service, would definitely use again.
The service from Andy has been great, honest, hardworking and very much appreciated. The work was delayed because he was not happy with the quality of the clutch, so requested a different brand. The final price was £540 for clutch, cam belt, major service and brake fluid change. Very happy to recommend Ash Auto and Andy Hamilton
Very good garage work hard and got my car done the same day even late at night got a few more performance jobs to do to my car and i will be using this garage again in the future
Came round collected my car dead on time like said, put it on the back of the trailer. Carried out the work with regular updates, hard working and a very genuine guy! Definitely using again!
Good service
Very good service kept me informed all the way
It is a Nice team, offering me a car to pick up children. Quick as promised, and will recommend to friends for sure,
Excellent service. Quick and professional with courtesy car thrown in.
Extremely friendly, very genuine so will certainly use them again.
Very happy with the service I received and the work was done in good time. Staff was really helpful and friendly. Would definitely recommend and I will go back for any future work needed.
Good price and friendly service!

But the two big stories in my world this week have been the resignation of the Pope & Police raids at an abattoir in Todmorden (just 3 miles from where I live).Horse meat has been found in burgers sold as "beef".{read:}
You might think these two events are unconnected.Well,not in MY World!First off....being of Polish extraction (50% traces have been found.....),the younger gentle author always wanted to be the Pope when he grew up.Everytime the phone has rung this week ,I suspect it's the Vatican making an offer I cant refuse..... ( I will keep you all posted on any developments.)
The horse meat scandal also brought to mind a great confusion I always had as a child regarding this business of The Eucharist.I mean! 'Eating The Body of Christ'What is that all about? As a kid I worried if it were Kosher?
This week's Sepia Saturday theme seems to me about uniforms & pets.

It is not enough to know that a thing works: you should also understand how and why it works. The rules of the road, for example, exist to keep people safe, but it is acceptable to break the rules under certain circumstances, such as when the only way to avoid getting flattened by an oncoming train is to run a red light. This is obvious, because drivers have a thorough understanding of the rules of the road and of their limits.
According to General Clausewitz, just like a good plan, theory is a guide to action. It accompanies you on the journey and helps to point the way. It helps to organize action. Creative-thinking expert Edward de Bono offered an example: "A two-finger typist with hundreds of hours of practice is still a two-finger typist. A few hours learning touch typing would have made a huge difference. It is the same with thinking."
But how do you evaluate a theory? Philosopher of science Larry Laudan explained that a theory should be evaluated by both the number of empirical problems it solves and how well it fits with existing theories. The theories of evolution and creationism can both explain the empirical problem of why men have nipples. But there is a glaring difference in how the two explanations fit with other theories. Evolution's explanation does not cause problems for the theory of evolution, because it fits seamlessly with other theories of biology and human development, which fit with theories of chemistry and physics, and so on. Human em¬bryos start out as females; only after several weeks does the Y chromosome kick in. With creationism, however, you should wonder: since man is created in God's image, why does God need nipples?

Eastern redbud is widely cultivated as an ornamental because of the plants showy springtime flowers and beautiful heart-shaped leaves. The plants are graceful with arching branches that look lovely as a specimen tree, in groupings, and in shrub borders. The plants do well in soils of moderate to low fertility and are very drought resistant. The seeds have very hard seed coats that require both chilling and scarification for germination, unless planted in the fall. Cuttings are difficult to root. Mature plants do not transplant well so buy young plants that are balled-and-burlapped or container grown. Transplant the plants in the spring or fall, in well-drained soils in sun to part shade. Water the plants regularly until established.

Children's Lifestyle Photography Tips
Defined as a style of photography that aims to portray real-life situations in a controlled setting, children's lifestyle photography captures children in their natural element.
No frivolous props.
No staging.
No over-the-top setup.
Just children in their natural element, being their authentic selves.
Capture the wonder and magic of childhood with these children's lifestyle photography tips:
Lights! Camera! Capture the action!
Action packed photos make a powerful statement. Photograph your child in motion – running, skipping, jumping, playing their favorite sport.
Photograph the fun
Forget those forced poses and smiles. Capture your child having fun – real fun. Photograph them doing something silly or while doing something they truly love – painting, reading, lying in the grass on a warm sunny day. You're guaranteed to elicit genuine smiles from your child if she's doing the things she loves most.
Focus on the details
Childhood is but a brief moment in time. Photograph those details you're sure to look back on when you're sending them off to college – handfuls of sand, itty bitty toes, little feet running, skipping and jumping.
Create an emotional connection
Make those sweet moments last forever. Capture your children making a connection – holding hands, in a warm embrace, kissing loved ones, etc.
Put some space between you and your subject
Step back and give your child some breathing room. Allow her to imagine, create and explore on her own.
Watch, wait and click
Exercise patience. Watch. Wait. Let the magic unfold naturally. And when that powerful moment hits? Click!
Do you prefer to stage and plan your shoots with kids or do you gravitate more toward lifestyle photography?

Love these- that one of her painting just melts me into a puddle! I like to mix it up. I think it's good practice to do a planned shoot every so often. But most of the time I don't have time for that so I have mostly lifestyle images.
by Dina @ 4 Lettre Words on November 2, 2012 9:23 am
What a fun Halloween!
by Tish on November 2, 2012 9:28 am
I'm with Gina. I like to do a mix of both, but just in the past two weeks I've done two lifestyle sessions with children and I LOVE the results! Its so fun to follow them around and capture the wonder and joy on their faces as they "do what they do"! Great photos Kristi! Looks like a fun Halloween!
by Andi of My Beautiful Adventures on November 2, 2012 9:42 am
You have the world's most beautiful children wow!!!!!!
I try to capture the littles doing this and that, but each month I try to get the baby to look at the camera for something staged. Her eyes melt me when the light catches them! Thanks for the link up. You took some great shots of Halloween
we wound up with loads of candy too!
Great tips and shots. :)
Love, love that third Halloween photo and the one of her painting has been a favorite of mine!
I love every single one. Gorgeous!!!
these are all such awesome portraits! I'm so excited I have purple in my post this week so I can link up! I've been lagging on my blog lately and haven't been able to join in all Fall!
Wonderful pictures and awesome tips!!! Thank you for hosting!
Love the halloween pics of the kids and the awesome tips.
Beautiful shots Kristi! I love your candid family shots.
Thanks for hosting.
I love the photos and the tips! I love my shots of my kids playing instead of the forced studio shots.
Your pictures are fabulous! Your children are gorgeous! I prefer to catch my kids as they are. I still love looking at wonderfully stylized shots and plan to do one for the holiday cards. But overall, I prefer natural shots. I'm too lazy, I mean busy to do stylized shoots all the time.
Great tips Kristi! And of course beautiful photos as usual!
Wasn't expecting this to be live until tomorrow. Scrolled down to add my link to the list & so disappointed that it says collection closed. (guess I need to remove the link from my post) :-( Beautiful photos as always. Love the tips!

Algiers – The individuals who kidnapped three aid workers, including two Spanish citizens, from the Saharawi refugee camps near Tindouf, a Saharan town in western Algeria, fled toward the border with Mauritania before entering Mali, Saharawi Foreign Minister Mohamed Salek Uld Salek told Efe Monday.
Ainhoa Fernandez de Rincon, a member of Extremadura's Association of Friends of the Saharawi People, and Enric Gonyalons, of the Spanish non-governmental organization Mundobat, were abducted on Saturday night from the facility in Rabuni where foreign aid workers are lodged.
Rosella Urru, an Italian aid worker, was taken along with the two Spanish citizens.
The kidnappers arrived in Rabuni aboard an SUV and had a second vehicle waiting near the border with Mauritania, the Saharawi official said.
"They headed off in the direction of the border with Mauritania so they could later head toward the territory of Mali. Our forces have been deployed in those areas," the official said.
The aid workers were abducted by "terrorists," the Saharawi official said, without identifying the group involved in the kidnappings.
"We are awaiting news. Our armed forces are working tirelessly in the search for the terrorists who staged the kidnappings," Salek said, adding that Saharawi officials were holding out hope that the hostages would be rescued.
The group that planned and executed the kidnappings, which are the first to occur in the refugee camps, had "a double objective," Salek said.
"The first, obviously, is to demand ransom. The second is more political, they want to make it seem that the camps in Tindouf are unsafe to scare donors and those in charge of humanitarian assistance," the Saharawi official said.
The president of the partially recognized Saharawi Arab Democratic Republic, or SADR, Mohamed Abdelaziz, called in a letter to U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon for "international condemnation of this terrorist attack."
The letter, a copy of which was obtained by Efe, says the kidnapping of "three friends of the Saharawi people" was intended to "terrorize" refugees and humanitarian activists "with the goal of depriving the people of international support."
"In light of this serious incident, we call on the international community to condemn this cowardly attack and to show solidarity with the Saharawi people and Polisario Front to be able to deal with these types of terrorist acts," Abdelaziz said in his letter.
Saharawi officials are in contact with the governments of neighboring countries to unite all efforts in capturing the kidnappers and freeing the aid workers, the Saharawi leader said.
Spanish Foreign Minister Trinidad Jimenez, meanwhile, said Monday that reports blaming Al Qaeda for the kidnappings were "mere speculation."
About 2,300 Spanish aid workers are abroad and "nearly all of them work in difficult situations, in conflict zones," Jimenez said, noting that aid workers "are aware" of the risks they take.
The Spanish government is working with "much discretion and prudence" to win the hostages' release, the foreign minister said, adding that she could not offer additional details.
Al Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb has carried out a number of kidnappings in southern Algeria, Mali and Mauritania, but it has never abducted anyone in the Sahrawi refugee camps controlled by the Polisario Front.
The SADR is the name given the Western Sahara by the Algerian-backed Polisario Front, which launched a war for independence against Morocco in 1975 after the North African kingdom annexed the territory on the withdrawal of Spanish forces.
The native Saharawis, led by the Polisario Front, have spent decades resisting Morocco's annexation of the Western Sahara, a former Spanish colony.

Army chaplain shares with Gadsden congregationcomment (0)
July 13, 2006
By Leigh Pritchett
Outside Twelfth Street Baptist Church, Gadsden, three members of Gadsden High School's Junior ROTC color guard prepared for their duties — a glimpse of things to come in the worship hour that morning.
The God and Country service July 2 at the Etowah Baptist Association church was one marked by:
• A brigadier general playing the piano and singing a selection that he said reflects the heart of the American soldiers who are putting themselves in harm's way to preserve the liberty of their own country and to give others the taste of freedom.
• Don Young, the church's minister of education, praying that the United States will be a good steward of its leadership role in the world.
• A man of limited mobility standing straight and tall as that JROTC color guard brought Old Glory down the aisle.
• "Taps" resounding while a decorated Air Force veteran placed a triangularly folded flag in memory of fallen comrades.
In his message that day, Brig. Gen. Douglas Carver, U.S. Army 22nd deputy chief of chaplains, enumerated some of the many distressing circumstances around us — the war in Iraq, the start of hurricane season, the constant attempt to chip away at the moral fiber of the nation.
Carver said it appears that the devil has turned his attack up a notch.
"I'm not an end-times preacher," said Carver, an ordained Southern Baptist minister who works at the Pentagon. "But I think something is up."
He pointed out how our time now mirrors what is reflected in Daniel 12:1–3.
Not only is it a period of distress but it is also a time for Christians to respond.
"This is our time, our destiny," just as Esther was placed in a certain position at a specific moment "for such a time as this," Carver said.
Because of that destiny, he said Christians must be a light to shine, to reflect the glory of God, to show the way to others and to give hope in times of despair. Christians have to be concerned about others and tell them that the only source of light in a dark world is Jesus Christ.
Carver — who served in Iraq and went to Afghanistan earlier this year — told The Alabama Baptist that U.S. soldiers understand their mission in this time and are completely committed to it.
"The morale of the troops remains extremely high," he said. "They feel they are contributing a tremendous role in shaping the future of Afghanistan."
Years ago, Afghan children wanted grenades to use against their enemy.
Carver said now they want U.S. soldiers to give them pencils; the youth have had the chance to go to school and learn and they crave education.
He said there is a great spiritual awakening among U.S. soldiers in Afghanistan, Iraq and the Horn of Africa.
"Chapel services are full, Bible studies, prayer meetings," Carver said.
He recounted the story of an injured soldier who sang a hymn as he was being taken to a helicopter. The man had lost a lot of blood and probably was going to die.
As he grew weaker, his singing faded. When he could sing no more, the four soldiers carrying his stretcher sang the hymn for him.
Carver said a precious memory he has of serving in Iraq is of conducting an Easter service in a hangar where Saddam Hussein had kept private planes.
That morning, rather than containing a dictator's secret stash, the hangar in Iraq was filled with 700–1,000 people worshiping the risen Lord in the middle of a predominantly Muslim country.

Bobcats are a medium sized member of the cat family residing in the United States. They move like a house cat, have a bobbed tail and vary in color from brownish black to a reddish brown depending upon just where the cat is residing. These animals are secretive and move about primarily during the evening and late night hours prior to sunrise. Their numbers have been on a steady increase and encounters with bobcats are not nearly as uncommon today as they were just 10 years ago. Abundant rodent populations have enabled this predator to rebound across our nation and though generally not a problem, bobcats will prey upon local birds, cats and dogs. Control methods must be employed when they start killing local pets and livestock. This article will detail some basic biology about bobcats and then offer several solutions which can be employed to help get this mysterious and sometimes destructive predator under control.

Other information: PEST ARTICLES
Bobcats are 2-3 times the size of the common house hold cat. They are clearly stronger and tougher looking which is easy to see when they are observed in the wild. Males are larger than females; it is not uncommon for bobcats to reach 40 lbs or more in weight. Bobcats can be found in any of the lower 48 States of America. They will readily live in river bottoms below sea level and can be found almost two miles up in certain mountain ranges.
Bobcats are generally secretive and shy and will almost always see you before you see them. They like to travel at early evening, throughout the night and return home in the early morning around day break. Bobcats will keep an average range of one sq/mile but will travel more if food requirements make them move about further. Since they don't mate for life, males will seek females during mating season which causes them to travel great distances. Many times this forces them to relocate altogether abandoning old ranges. Most breeding seasons start in January and will run for several months depending on the region. Females will carry young for 2-3 months and litters typically have 2-4 kittens. Bobcats grow rapidly but they still take a full 1-2 years to mature. Average life is about 12 years in the wild.
Bobcats keep very specific travel patterns along with very specific territories. These territories are marked with urine and other scents excreted by the adult cats used as both markers and mating communicators. Once territories are established, adults will travel along trails daily looking for food, other bobcats and anything else which is spotted that piques their curiosity. Bobcats will feed on a wide range of food including something as small as a lizard to something as large as a deer. They will readily eat rabbit, chipmunk, rats, mice, squirrel, porcupines, gophers, prairie dogs, woodchucks, opossum, raccoon, domesticated cats and dogs as well as several reptiles or amphibians. Bobcats love birds and will readily feed on quail, pheasant, turkey, grouse, chickens and any other flying animal which makes itself available. Bobcats will readily make any local farm a sure stop feeding on several types of livestock as long as it is readily available and doesn't offer too much resistance.
It is because of their predatory feeding that bobcats get into trouble. When left alone in the wild they are barely noticed; once they are found killing livestock bobcats will be targeted with a vengeance. They will readily seek sheep, poultry, goats, game birds, turkey, fish, calves, cats and dogs. This behavior is costly to farmers and cattlemen and since bobcat will many times kill and not consume their prey immediately, they are perceived as wasteful. In fact bobcat will hide or leave their kill for a later date returning every day or so to grab a meal. Though they may eat a mouse or rabbit at one sitting bobcat rarely do this with deer or sheep. Instead they will make the kill, feed a little and then hide it away by covering it with sticks, brush, dirt or anything else they find close to the kill which will serve as a protective cover. It is this characteristic which makes them easy to trap using several methods which will be explained later in this article.
Bobcat activity is easy to spot because they leave large cat foot prints where they are walking. Animals killed by bobcat will have large claw marks on their backs and shoulders. Bobcats will begin to feed on large animals around the ribs or the neck and shoulders. Unlike the marks of a coyote which are rough and look as though the meat has been torn apart, bobcat will cut through flesh and bone quite smoothly. If you have found pets or livestock killed by a bobcat look for the claw marks along with a bite into the neck or head. These marks will be specifically located on the animal where such bites would have a quick lethal effect. Coyote hunt in packs and many times targeted animals suffer from many bites as the pack attacks from all sides.
Although hunted for their pelts, bobcats are more likely to be pursued because they are either causing damage to local livestock or game animals. Farmers, pet owners, hunters and cattlemen have all called bobcat their enemy. Though several are shot during any one year, most states don't have hunting season for bobcat. Trapping is how most are controlled. Local ordinances will have trapping seasons that vary from a month to half a year. However, predatory animals which are causing destruction can generally be controlled at any time. Over the years control methods have included everything from leghold traps to snares to live traps. The next part of this article will detail these methods and offer suggestions and guidelines as to which are better suited given different situations.
There are several types of traps which will work for bobcat control. Most require the traps be set with certain tricks of the trade and though the author will explore these tricks, if you are serious about trapping bobcat you should invest in one of the BOBCAT BOOKS we sell. These detail more of what you need to look for when bobcat trapping. It comes with some great photos, a lot of reference material which enables you to know a lot before you ever start to trap bobcat and certain tricks of the trade. The reading is easy, to the point and helpful. One thing you will quickly learn is that most trap sets will include the use of BOBCAT URINE and BOBCAT LURE. The urine is used a lot by adult bobcat for marking territory, marking dens, making a statement to other bobcat and for marking their food. Bobcat lure is used for much of the same reasons. In some cases the use of both these materials is helpful; in other cases none is required. The use of these materials is widely discussed in the handbook and for anyone who has trapped coyote or fox you probably have a basic understanding of how to employ these scents. Whether you are a novice or a pro, using both Urine and Lure can be a big asset. If used incorrectly it can alert a cat that something is not right making them all the more hard to trap.

Before we get into all the options you have for trapping bobcat, there are two devices we carry which can be used to keep them away from your home.
The first device is perfect for applications around small ponds where pet fish are kept. Bobcat love these ponds and will frequently clean them out in a night or two. If you have built such a pond and want to keep bobcats from fishing out prize turtles or fish, set up a MOTION ACTIVATED WATER SPRAYER on one side of the pond. This device has a motion detector which is able to "see" 24 hours a day. It connects to your garden hose and has a stake for sticking it securely in the ground. Once set, it has a range of about 105 degrees and will "look" for any motion from warm blooded animals. Once spotted, it will release a three second blast of water at the animal.
Scare Crow: http://www.bugspraycart.com/repellents/visual/scare-crow
Bobcats hate this and will quickly run away. They might try to move in from another angle but generally a couple of blasts from the garden hose and they'll stay away for good. This device can be hooked up in series with several heads around your pond all ready to work at chasing away an unwanted predator like a bobcat. And since they can be set to spray around the clock, you won't have to worry about local otters, dogs, cats or predatory birds from feeding in your pond.
Another device that can be used to repel bobcat is an ULTRA SOUND YARD GARD. These devices can be set to release a continuous sound or a sound that's actuated by motion. The sound most effective for cats is a high pitched ultra sound meaning it's not detectable by most humans. This sound is irritating and alarming to cats in general and to bobcats, a warning to stay away. Deploy these in areas you want to keep bobcat free. They can be set to run by battery or by the included AC adaptor that comes with every unit.
Yard Guard: http://www.bugspraycart.com/repellents/sound/usd-acbatt-yard-gard-49
If you decide you are going to trap your targeted bobcat, there are several which you can use. The trap used over the years the most is the LONG SPRING # 1.5 and LONG SPRING # 2. This is the original leghold design which has been used in many sizes over the years to trap just about any game animal. It works well for bobcat and can be very effective when used properly. However, a more recent design called the Coil Trap is probably used more today because it is both easier to set and slightly smaller in design with equal jaw size. COIL # 2 TRAPS are usually big enough but in some northern regions, the COIL # 3 is needed. Both long spring and coil traps are used the same way for similar sets. If you ask any one trapper their preference you could conceivably get a different answer for every set you could name. This is because they both work well and can be used interchangeably. Good sets include trail stepovers, food locations or flagging. Stepover sets are made on bobcat trails. Since bobcat will travel the same trail over and over, the concept of the stepover set is to place a log or rock in the middle of the trail causing the animal to step over it. Locate the trap on the other side where the cat will most likely step. Bobcats don't like to walk around anything and will very seldom detour from their normal path. Stepovers can be made without urine or lure.
Long Spring # 1.5: http://www.bugspraycart.com/traps/long-spring/long-spring-1-5
Long Spring # 2: http://www.bugspraycart.com/traps/long-spring/long-spring-2
Coil Trap #3: http://www.bugspraycart.com/traps/coil/coil-3
Food location sets can be done by using an existing bobcat food pile or by creating one yourself. By taking some common animal or other food and placing it under dirt, leaves, sticks, ground cover, etc you are effectively mimicking the behavior of bobcats. The targeted animal will naturally be curious and get itself trapped once it starts digging up your artificial placement. These sets can be made a lot more effective with the use of both lure and urine. Such food locations are generally always marked and will need to have some scent applied for sure if it's a fake mound being created for the set. Flagging is another set which works well for bobcat. Place an animal part, hide or feather along the bobcat trail out in the open. Hanging it out in the open for all to see is needed and should be done. Cats rely on their sight more than scent so having the "flag" highly visible is a big help. Directly below the feathers or animal parts you can have either a coil or a longspring trap set. Covering it ever so lightly with some loose sand or ground cover may help but is usually not needed. The use of some animal parts to add scent will help as well. This type of set takes advantage of Bobcats intuitive behavior to act like scavengers which feed on dead animals.
Den sets are another very effective location where you can make a set. Such sets should be made where you know bobcats are living. You can tell if it is active by inspecting the den for fresh track, food, urine, gland scent or by seeing bobcats using it. Either longspring or coil traps will work for this type of set but another type of trap which works well for this set is the BODYGRIP TRAP. These are true kill traps which will effectively crush the head of any animal which tries to pass through the open jaws. Bodygrip traps come in several sizes and are used for many animals. Many of the sets made for these other animals are done over den entrances and such a set works well for bobcat. Bodygrip traps can also be used where bobcat are known to be passing through a hole in a fence or where they are crawling under one. These passageways are ideal locations to place a Bodygrip since the animal will routinely attempt to pass through as it has so many other times before. All of these locations are also great areas to make a set with some SNARES. The big difference with a Bodygrip and a Snare is that the Snare will usually catch the bobcat alive where the Bodygrip will kill the animal. Snares also cost less but they do require a lot more experience to use. Furthermore, animals will be caught alive which means you will have to deal with a very angry and aggressive bobcat on your hands. In most cases you don't want to be using any scent with either a Bodygrip or a Snare.
Bodygrip 330: http://www.bugspraycart.com/traps/conibear/body-grip-330-10-x-10
Snare: http://www.bugspraycart.com/traps/snap-snare-and-tunnel/snare-6-pack
Since bobcat can be hard to deal with once trapped in one of these leghold or snare traps, you might consider the use of a live trap to catch local animals. These heavy gauge steel cages are made to hold large strong animals and will do so quite well. You could use an LT151842 but the LT152248RD is a better bet because it is taller. Live trapping has become a lot more common as the way of catching bobcat in live traps has been developed. Years ago this was not an option. However, as bobcat behavior has been studied, ways of luring the smart wary cats into cages has been tested and perfected. There are two things that should be done if you want to get a cat quickly. First, conceal the trap. Do this by using pine straw or hay bales. Place them on both sides, the back as well as the top of the trap. Try to create a "cave" like look which bobcats will regularly enter. Be sure to cover the wire on the bottom of the trap with whatever the ground cover is where you are making the set. This could be some straw, hay or dirt. It is also good to locate the set close to brush, undergrowth, structure or anyplace where bobcat will feel comfortable walking. Don't place it in the middle of a large field – it's not likely to get any cats around it unless you know there is a trail there being used by your targeted animal.
Live Trap 15x18x42: http://www.bugspraycart.com/traps/cage/live-trap-15-x-18-x-42-rear-door
LT152248RD: http://www.bugspraycart.com/traps/cage/live-trap-15-x-22-x-48-rear-door
Secondly, the use of any type of meat from bird to squirrel to beef will help to lure the animal inside the trap but something alive will work even better. One of the best sets to make is to use some hardware cloth or chicken wire to create a "shelf" on the top third of the trap against the back wall. Use a live pigeon or some other bird as the bait by wiring it to the back of the cage. It is best to attach the wire to the birds leg and give it just enough slack to keep it sitting on the shelf. This will prevent it from setting off the trap as well as keep it moving enough to attract the attention of any passing bobcat. Other animals can be used but the key is to have something which will move on a regular basis and yet be controlled enough to keep it in position without getting hurt. An easier solution is to get the LT152248RD and have us add a LIVE BAIT CAGE to it. This option can be wired in so you are able to place a bird, squirrel or other small animal inside by removing the back panel of the trap and opening the Bait Cage. Once the bait is placed inside, close the cage, put the back of the trap back and make your set. In most any case, the use of live bait will prove to be the best type of attractant when live trapping Bobcats.

Bait Cage: http://www.bugspraycart.com/traps/cage/live-bait-cage
If you decide to live trap and make your set as detailed above, you should be sure to inspect it daily. Bobcat will travel through their territory at least once every few days and if you are not able to get any interest than you probably need to relocate the trap altogether to another run. Bobcat have a hard time resisting the opportunity of a small meal and will certainly attempt to get at your offering so you will need to be prepared to relocate the animal once trapped. Whether you catch the cat in a live trap, a leghold trap or a snare you will have to either destroy the animal or relocate it with the use of a CATCH POLE. These devices enable the animal handler to get control over trapped game and move them from one point to another. Most animals are moved by attaching the catch pole around their head and over their necks. This will enable you to keep the animal a safe distance away yet at the same time keep it under control.
Catch Pole: http://www.bugspraycart.com/traps/poles-and-tongs/catch-pole-economy
Bobcat are a predatory animal which can exist alongside man without ever being seen. They have tremendous eyes and will avoid people at all costs. If you have one on your property and it is feeding on livestock, game birds or something else you hold dear than you will need to trap them out with one of the traps we have detailed above. Get our hand book, learn how to make some basic bobcat trap sets and then go ahead and try your luck. There are many traps you can use with many more sets that can be made. Once you have their trails well defined you should be able to trap out any which are causing damage. Once removed be sure to keep your eyes open and be ready to deal with the next one that moves into the territory.

Weekly Bolly-tin: Top 5 News
Here's a sneak peek at the most happening events of the week, in B-Town.
1. Talaash's music launch!
The nation waits for Aamir Khan's annual release. This year, Mr. Perfectionist will be seen in the upcoming suspense thriller, titled Talaash, directed by Reema Kagti, and co-starring Kareena Kapoor and Rani Mukerji. Though the film will hit theatres on 30th November, we still got glimpses of Khan's film, thanks to its recent soundtrack launch. Having said that, the video song promo of one of the tracks, Muskaanein, has certainly impressed us. Rest of the songs too sound soulful, and we wait for their video releases eagerly.

Rani Mukerji's brother Raja, who is a small time filmmaker, has been arrested for molesting a model and TV actress, Priya Mishra, in Versova on 14th October. Reportedly, Priya accused Raja of assaulting her in his car on the pretext of offering her a role in one of his serials. Apparently, the victim had gone to the accused with a script when the disgraceful incident transpired. Raja had allegedly demanded sexual favours from her, promising her a meaty role, in turn, in his serial. But Priya objected to it and got out of the car without delay. Raja was granted bail by the Versova police on 15th October, on a security of Rs. 10,000 after being booked under Section 354 of the Indian Penal Code that deals with sexual offence.
The trailer of Vishal Bhardwaj's upcoming crazy comedy looks promising. While we ponder on the possible meaning of this funny title, we are introduced to the three main leads in the trailer, who are called Matru, Bijlee and Mandola. Yes, we are excited about the film post reveling in and understanding in bits what Matru Ki Bijlee Ka Mandola could stand for. Now, we hope the film turns out to be an absolute laugh riot.

- Title
- The impact of mergers on relaxed x-ray clusters III: effects on compact cool cores
- Author(s)
- Poole, Gregory B.; Babul, Arif; McCarthy, Ian G.; Sanderson, Adam J. R.; Fardal, Mark A.
- Abstract
- We use the simulations presented in Poole et al. to examine the effects of mergers on the properties of cool cores in X-ray clusters. Motivated by recent Chandra and XMM–Newton observations, we propose a scheme for classifying the morphology of clusters based on their surface brightness and entropy profiles. Three dominant morphologies emerge: two hosting compact cores and central temperatures which are cool [CCC (compact cool core) systems] or warm [CWC (compact warm core) systems] and one hosting extended cores which are warm [EWC (extended warm core) systems]. In the cases we have studied, CCC states are disrupted only after direct collisions with merging cluster cores. This can happen in head-on collisions or during second pericentric passage in off-axis mergers. By the time they are relaxed, our remnant cores have generally been heated to warm core (CWC or EWC) states but subsequently recover CCC states by the end of the simulation. The only case resulting in a long-lived EWC state is a slightly off-axis 3:1 merger for which the majority of shock heating occurs during the accretion of a low-entropy stream formed from the disruption of the secondary's cool core. Since tdyn≪tcool for all our relaxing merger remnant cores, compression prevents their core temperatures from falling until after they relax to the compact states allowed by their remnant central entropies. This naturally explains the population of relaxed CWC systems observed in recent Chandra and XMM–Newton observations with no need to invoke active galactic nuclei feedback. The morphological segregation in the Lx–Tx scaling relation noted by McCarthy et al. is qualitatively reflected in the results of our mergers as well. However, none of the cases we have studied produces systems with sufficiently high central entropies to account for the most underluminous EWC systems observed. Lastly, mergers do not efficiently mix the intracluster medium in our simulations. As a result, merging systems which initially host central metallicity gradients do not yield merger remnants with flat metallicity profiles. Taken together, these results suggest that once formed, compact core systems are remarkably stable against disruption from mergers. It remains to be demonstrated exactly how the sizable observed population of extended core systems was formed.

Maharashtra Navnirman Sena (MNS) president Raj Thackeray has threatened to close down mall and multiplexes from Friday, if the state government does not roll back the power tariff concessions granted to commercial users.
Thackeray said he had earlier decided to close down malls and multiplexes on Thursday, but decided to wait till Friday after he got a call from "somebody in the government that a decision would be taken by Thursday evening".
But Energy Minister Sunil Tatkare said, "We will take a decision on Friday. MNS can take their own decision."
Thackeray claims that the state electricity regulatory body has been partial to commercial users by giving them power tariff concessions last week and ignoring the common man (see box, The grievance).
A day after he met MERC chairman CP Raja, Thackeray told reporters: "Everybody is passing the buck. The state government says it is Maharashtra Electricity Regulatory Commission's (MERC's) decision, while MERC passed the buck to the court. No one is ready to take responsibility."
He also pointed out that according to the Electricity Bill 2003 of Section 108, the government had the right to intervene in MERC's decision to sort out the issue, but they were not willing to do so.
"We are consulting some legal advisers and will move the court against the MERC's decision," said Thackeray.
"After we warned them on Tuesday about the agitation, few of my party workers were detained. If no action is taken regarding this till Friday, work will be stopped at all malls and construction sites across the state, in MNS style."

Sleep paralysis (SP) is a period of consciously experienced paralysis either when going to sleep or when waking up. It's classified as an REM sleep parasomnia, in other words, an undesirable event that occurs during sleep or that is exacerbated by sleep During an episode of sleep paralysis the individual is fully conscious and aware that it is not possible to move the limbs, head and trunk and there may be also be respiratory difficulties. Indeed, when a person experiences their first episode it's not uncommon for them to think that they are dying, and they may also complain of vivid and terrifying visual, auditory, tactile and/or motor hallucinations.
Sleep paralysis usually occurs whilst lying on a bed and happens less often when a person sleeps in an uncomfortable position, such as sitting upright. Most episodes last a few seconds but may be as long as 10 minutes, and they end suddenly, either spontaneously, because of intense effort to break the paralysis by the person experiencing it, or by the touch or voice of another person. Immediately after an episode there may be numbness or tingling in the hands and feet and there is the possibility of relapse if the individual does not get up and move around.
Prevalence of sleep paralysis Sleep paralysis is a common symptom of narcolepsy which is a sleep disorder affecting approximately 0.02-0.05% of the population. Narcolepsy consists of four major symptoms:
1. Sleep attacks - overwhelming episodes of drowsiness or sleep
2. Cataplexy - sudden loss of muscle tone usually triggered by a strong emotion 3. Sleep paralysis - consciously experienced paralysis whilst falling asleep or waking up 4. Vivid hypnagogic hallucinations - vivid hallucinations at sleep onset.
People who experience narcolepsy do not necessarily experience the symptom of sleep paralysis but in approximately 17-40% of cases sufferers experience vivid hypnagogic hallucinations. Amongst those who also experience sleep paralysis, many will report several occurrences per month, and some say that it happens every time they fall asleep - which can be several times per day.
Sleep paralysis is also experienced by people without narcolepsy, and the prevalence varies, but according to The International Classification of Sleep Disorders (1997) at least 40% of people will experience it once during their lifetime. A further 3-6% will experience it more frequently, and of these, some will experience it severely (episodes occurring at least once per week) and chronically (for 6 months or longer).
Causes of sleep paralysis Sleep paralysis can be thought of as an intrusion of REM (rapid eye movement or 'dream sleep') characteristics into wakefulness. Whilst we sleep the brain suppresses muscle activity, essentially to prevent us from acting out our dreams. But during an episode of sleep paralysis wakefulness occurs yet the body, and part of the brain, is still in REM sleep.
Since REM sleep is usually begins about 90 minutes after we fall asleep, it is not surprising that sleep paralysis is associated with REM sleep when people experience it upon awakening (they have simply woken up during an REM sleep period). But how can it occur when falling asleep? Researchers in Japan have found that people with narcolepsy who experienced the symptom of sleep paralysis often had sleep-onset REM periods (SOREMPs) that is, instead of experiencing REM 90 minutes after sleep onset, they often experienced it immediately upon falling asleep. Furthermore, these researchers found that it was during these SOREMPs that people with narcolepsy experienced sleep paralysis and not during any other stage of sleep.
SOREMPs are also found in people without narcolepsy. They usually occur after disruption of the sleep-wake cycle such as irregular sleep habits, jetlag, shiftwork or sleep deprivation, and these are all considered to be predisposing factors.
Treatment for sleep paralysis Antidepressant drugs that are used to treat the symptoms of cataplexy, sleep paralysis, and hypnagogic hallucinations in narcoleptics typically suppress REM sleep, and it is generally believed that this action of the drug stops sleep paralysis. Some clinicians suggest prescribing antidepressants to people who experience sleep paralysis but do not have narcolepsy if the episodes are frightening, prolonged and frequent.

Full HDTV Television
Posted in Video
If you're new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed. Thanks for visiting!
Since the federal regulation of mandatory DTV (digital television) signal, the subject of full HDTV (full high definition television) has become a more popular topic of discussion and has become more of an interest to the public. With the digital changeover, now everyone has access to HDTV signal. However, an HDTV display is still necessary in order to view high definition no matter what type of signal you have (cable, antenna, or satellite).
For HDTV, resolution is the key word, defining how detailed an image can be displayed without blurring. Those who opted for the HD converter box are still viewing a picture on an analogue CRT screen .NTSC-analogue TV resolution is defined as 480i. The 'i' means interlaced. This results from the TV camera having 480 horizontal lines of resolution while the CRT tube has only 240 lines available. So every other line of the 480 is simultaneously scanned for 1/60th of a second then the remaining lines are scanned. Hence, the TV signal is "interlaced" giving the appearance of more vertical resolution. With an aspect ratio of 4:3 (width x height), the analogue television resolution can be described as 640 x 480i.
HDTV and full HDTV are different from analogue TV due to the resolution of each. The standard HDTV has a resolution of 720i or 720p while a full HDTV has a resolution of 1080i or 1080p. The "p" instead of the "i" stands for progressive scanning. This means that the vertical scans are done simultaneously. Using a 16:9 aspect ratio, the standard HDTV is has 1520 x 720 pixels and the full HDTV has 1920 x 1080 pixels.
Full HDTV, 1080p, would seem the product of choice; however, for a TV smaller than 42 inches the difference between standard and full HDTV cannot be seen. Consequently, these smaller TV's are available only in standard HDTV, either 720i or 720p. To enjoy full HDTV a 42 inch or larger screen is necessary.
There are currently three options in screen technology for full HDTV: rear projection HDTV, full HD plasma, and full HD LCD TV. Though rear projection televisions are still available, the demand and popularity of them seems to be decreasing. For that reason, many manufacturers aren't even making them anymore. Therefore, it's advised to choose between the two remaining options. Other things to consider when choosing a new television are response time, the contrast ratio, and color reproduction qualities.
Full HDTV plasma displays are bright, have a wide color range, and can be produced in fairly large sizes, up to 58 inches is commercially available. Because the display panel is only about 6 cm (2.5 inches) thick, the overall thickness is about 4 to 6 inches. Contrast ratios are as high as 50K to 100K are claimed but, in reality, the highest available in stores is 30K with response times at 0.001 milliseconds and refresh frequencies of 600 Hz. Fast response times make plasma TV's ideal for fast motion video (films or sports viewing). Plasma screens also are said to have better color reproduction than LCDs and to have a wider viewing angle.
However, the power requirements for a plasma TV can be as high as 500 watts. Also, plasma televisions are heavier than LCDs; however, plasma screens can be mounted on the wall.
Full HDTV LCD displays have the same resolution as plasma full HDTV displays, but the LCD displays have a slower response time (2 milliseconds). This could result in ghosting during fast moving images. The refresh frequency of an LCD display screen is 240 Hz, but the contrast ratio has been improved so that it's the same as the plasma screen (30K). Though there are some differences in response time and refresh frequencies, LCD TVs are less expensive than plasmas.
A note of caution, except for resolution, when comparing specifications many reviewers question their accuracy and their meaningfulness to your viewing experience. My advice is judge for your self. In conclusion, barring financial and/or physical restraints or simple preference for smaller TV size, full HDTV is the obvious choice. If striving for a home theatre experience, make sure your full HDTV is compatible with the entire system you are planning.

"But at some point along the path to discovery, the reader confronts his or her reading mortality. There's only so much time. And there are so many great books." I must come to grips with this myself, even as I anxiously await the inaugural book club discussion. I must admit, though, that people like this [NYT link] make me feel my own "reading mortality" more acutely. (I wish I could read that much so quickly...)
Seeing as Camp David has now taken on new importance for President Bush [NYTimes link], now might be a fun time to take a tour (sort-of) of the highly secretive compound. Or perhaps you would like a more detailed history of the Presidential retreat, or even some personal stories as told by people "in the know."

Project ID: 2006HI144B
Title: Hydrologic Analysis of Hawaii Watersheds for Flood Control and Water Quality Management
Project Type: Research
Start Date: 03/01/2006
End Date: 02/28/2007
Congressional District: HI 1st
Focus Categories: Hydrology, Floods, Non Point Pollution
Keywords: Watershed, flood hydrograph, TMDL, pollutograph
Principal Investigator: Liu, Clark (University of Hawaii)
Federal Funds: $17,958
Non-Federal Matching Funds: $36,668
Abstract: The principal objective of this proposed research is to develop techniques of watershed modeling based on the linear systems theory. The new modeling techniques allow a ready simulation of flood runoff and pollutant loading generated by a watershed with given rainstorm input. Modeling rainfall-runoff processes in Hawaii watersheds is a major challenge because the watersheds have steep slopes and small drainage area and because the watersheds often experience short-duration and high-intensity storms. Currently, the rational formula is used for urban drainage design, and whereas the more sophisticated unit hydrograph method is used for the analysis and design of major flood-control facilities. The unit hydrograph method is based on the linear systems theory. According to this theory, the instantaneous unit hydrograph (IUH) of a watershed characterizes its response to rainfall. After the IUH of a watershed is constructed, runoff generated by future rainstorms in the watershed can be calculated by a convolution integration of IUH and rainfall input. Like IUH, an instantaneous pollutograph (IPG) can characterize the watershed?s response to rainfall and pollutant input. After the IPG is constructed, waste loadings generated by future rainstorms in the watershed can be calculated by a convolution integration of IPG and rainfall input. In this project, IUH and IPG will be derived and applied for selected Hawaii watersheds.

The Kasich administration's delays in court-ordered payments to Mercer County landowners drew unfavorable comparisons to the duration of World War II from Ohio Supreme Court Justice Paul E. Pfeifer yesterday.
But the justices seemed equally skeptical of the landowners' case. The hearing was on possible contempt of court by the Department of Natural Resources, which is accused of delaying the fulfillment of a Supreme Court edict just over a year ago.
On Dec. 1, 2011, justices ordered the department to begin compensation proceedings with 87 landowners near Grand Lake St. Marys "for a taking of their property caused by increased overflows from the lake into Beaver Creek resulting from a widening of the western spillway," according to a news release from the court. The case first came to the Supreme Court in 2009 and is related to flood damages caused by a state-built dam in 1997.
Pfeifer, who was one of several justices grilling Assistant Attorney General Michael L. Stokes yesterday, said that the United States fought World War II in the amount of time the case has been in the court's hands. He also said he didn't think "anyone would tolerate that kind of fiddling around" as he criticized the fact that it has taken more than a year for the state to get appraisals for the land — a step the state says is necessary to make offers to landowners for compensation.
But in a hearing of contempt, what matters is whether the state is intentionally defying the court's 2011 order, not whether the process could be going faster. According to court filings and oral arguments, the state argues it has complied with the court's wishes by hiring five appraisers, making offers in eight of the approximately 50 cases, and entering into settlement negotiations that ended in July after landowners rejected a $24.2 million payoff and the Kasich administration pulled its offer off the table. A spokesman for Gov. John Kasich denied that characterization.
"What is the relief you want here?" asked Justice Terrence O'Donnell. "There needs to be clear and convincing evidence of contempt. What order do you want us to make and based on what evidence?"
Bruce L. Ingram, an attorney for the landowners, asked the court to force the Ohio Department of Natural Resources to complete land appraisals within either 30 or 90 days; order the state to deposit money equal to the value of the appraisals; pay a fine and cover the plaintiffs' court costs for the contempt hearing; and appoint a visiting judge to assist the Mercer County court in hearing each case. Stokes said ODNR would not be able to finish the work until the end of 2013.
"We have had three of our clients who have died since this action was brought," Ingram said. " Unfortunately we will probably lose more than that before" the cases are resolved, he added, referring to the lengthy process of the state completing land appraisals and making an offer to each plaintiff, the state filing a "case" in Mercer County within 30 days if the plaintiff rejects the state's offer, and having that case resolved in a jury trial.
Stokes said completion of appraisals within 30 days is "just not possible" and by April 1 is " aggressive." He agreed with Pfeifer that farmland prices are increasing — which could mean higher payouts by the state the longer the cases drag out.
"(That's why) to say the state is intentionally dragging its feet is absolutely untrue," Stokes said.
Six justices were joined on the bench yesterday by Judge Eve Belfance, a 9th District Court of Appeals judge sitting in for Justice Robert R. Cupp, who recused himself.
