Welcome to Allison Acres ~ Galt, CA ~ (209) 748-2658
"Buster" - 9 year old registered AHQA gelding ~ $2800 ~ pedigree and video below
I have way lowered his price due to the economy. This is a horse who 5 years ago would have sold for $8000. A lot of horse here for an experienced rider.
UPDATE: in pro training here at our place and doing great, developing some slow versions of his gaits, bridling better, learning/remembering his lateral work.
Lots of videos - click here for his youtube playlist: Buster - Willy Double Breeze
Sold! Congratulations Morgan!

"Buster" is a fabulous quarter horse gelding. He is around 15-2 hh. Use him for sorting, team penning, trail, ranch work, versatility, turnback, gymkhana, barrel racing, roping, endurance. He worked a ranch, did the big gathers, did some ranch roping, knew all the reining moves and had been started on barrels when we got him. We used him as a lesson horse and although he is not a beginner horse he does very well with my supervision. He can get strong at the lope (he loves to go!) and he can be hard to bridle due to some previous experience (bridles very well now with a treat in your hand also!)
Pro trained, and tuned up: He went to the Wright Ranch in Jackson for a 2.5 month tune up to work on the finer points of bending, using himself properly, and rating his speed, and he did a lot of turnback for their cutting program. Came home in January.
He had a lot of body work done by Synergy Equine, is barefoot and sound, had his teeth done, Panacur Power Pack done. Great on the trail, very well broke under saddle, absolutely no buck or rear or anything else like that. Trailers great, no problems there. Great in the group, great in a stall. Very beautiful horse, stout with great conformation.
He also jumped in my lesson program and he's willing and happy to do it. I never intended to sell him but the economy is forcing it. He is a great horse who deserves a great, sensitive, loving owner. Although probably not a problem with an experienced rider, Buster does greatly prefer women. I just found out there are some pretty competitive kids in endurance racing nowaways and he would be great for that. He loves kids but it has to be a kid who knows how to ride since he loves to go fast. Not to imply he's crazy or that he jigs or runs away, not at all. He just loves to go when you ask him to go. He's very happy to walk around on the buckle also, bareback or saddled. He's just not a lazy horse at all. Great extended trot!
Everybody asks: he has not raced and is not patterned on barrels. He was started on them over a year ago at his previous owner's place. I think he'd make a great barrel horse.

Taken in Jan '09 at Steve Wright's. Yes, he is sound on this gravel. :-)
A special video of Buster with Daniel, March 27 '09:Here I'm using Buster with my son Daniel for some "hippotherapy" type work. Daniel has bi-polar disorder, ADHD, and sensory integration disorder. Here's what the Youtube info says:
My son Danny works Buster. Several interesting things in this video. For one, Buster is the most nervous horse we have here, at least for groundwork. But he LOVES Danny. I don't know what the deal was with Buster not lifting his foot for Danny; I really think he just had no clue a child would be asking him to lift his foot. But the point is how determined Danny was and how he did not get upset or frustrated - very different from the norm for him! Horses can really bring out the best in us. Now as for my son Danny, he has bi-polar, ADHD, sensory integration disorder and apraxia of speech. You can see how all these issues can be overcome when working with horses. He is motivated to stick to it, to not overreact, to be careful with his body language and his energy level and how he takes and gives space to another living creature, he is willing to touch strange-feeling substances (like the horse's chestnut and whiskers), to not be overly loud, and he really pays attention -- all things he has a lot of trouble with under other circumstances. He also has to negotiate terrain changes (up and down the pea gravel) in order to stay in the right position. These are great skills for any kid to practice, and especially for our more challenged kids. Plus he is obviously proud of his accomplishments especially at the end. :-)

Editor, County press
WOODSBORO — The Lopez sisters sat in the first row of the pews reserved for family members in the Catholic Cathedral in Tulsa, Okla.
Straining to look through the solemn procession, the sisters finally glimpsed Dr. Ann Lopez.
Walking slowly down the aisle and dressed in black, Ann donned a special elbow-length lace mantilla, imported from Italy. Caught in the moment, Ann was unaware of the tears streaming down Lorraine's, Cindy's and Maxine's cheeks.
"We are so proud of her," said Lorraine Lopez. "She was so beautiful."
On this special day among family in October, Ann was invested as a Lady into the Equestrian Order of the Holy Sepulchre of Jerusalem.
The origin of the order dates back to 1103, the First Crusade, when Jerusalem was liberated. After the victory, the first king of Jerusalem, Baldwin I, appointed knights from the crusader troops to the order he founded.
Very soon after the First Crusade, the knights returned to Europe. When the Christian Kingdom of Jerusalem ceased to exist in 1291, the order was left without a leader. Though the order continued to survive, rarely did the Knights of the Holy Sepulchre ever take part again in military action to defend Christianity.
Rather, the order became the only lay institution of the Vatican State charged with the task of supporting the Christian presence in the Holy Land. The order is represented in almost every country in the world.
Today, the Knights and Ladies are tasked primarily with keeping the Holy Land safe and accessible to Christians, Jews and Muslims, as well as observing the principles of charity.
"I don't feel worthy of this great honor," Ann said. "I had wonderful parents who were faithful to the church. My mother taught me how to kneel and pray every night... to close the door and pray. My sisters and I went to retreats... yet, I doubted so much. I didn't know what kind of a person I'd become if I stopped going to church. I was afraid if I quit going, I'd never go back."
The path of one's spiritual journey can take many curves and contours along the way – some expected and some not-so-expected.
A brush with death during a bad car accident shook Ann's soul and shifted her life like a kaleidoscope.
"I was driving and had the right of way," she said. "I saw the other driver who was fighting with the children in the car. I thought she would stop, but she didn't."
Before the two cars collided, Lopez saw three roads – all clearly stemming from the other car – none were paved and every road was treacherous.
Yet, in reality, the roads were visible only to Ann.
"I chose the one that would allow me to live and save the other person in the car," she said.
Convalescing in a hospital, Lopez began to ponder why she was allowed to live and what God's plan was for her.
"I became more prayerful and started paying more attention to my sisters and I became very faithful," she said. "My younger sister Maxine taught me how to love and thrust through bad times."
With renewed faith, the colors of spring shine brighter.
Ann's journey is not yet concluded. Her nomination to the order by Monsignor Rory Deane and Cardinal Daniel DiNardo and her appointment by Pope Benedict XVI have simply made the path more clear.
"In the future, I will make a pilgrimage to the Holy Land – I've started a kitty to do that."

A life insurance niche that has been receiving a great deal of attention over the last several decades is what's currently referred to as the final expense market, or FE. A final expense life insurance policy is typically nothing more than a small whole life policy with a face amount large enough to cover the cost of a funeral and other final expenses, typically with a relaxed underwriting guideline often referred to as simplified-issue whole life, or SIWL.
The key to a final expense sale is that seniors (or anyone else for that matter) only have three ways that they are going to cover the cost of their final expenses.
- Let their children and other loved ones take care of it.
- Simply have enough money saved up to pay for the cost.
- Purchase a final expense policy.
Considering that the above are their only options, if they do not want to be a burden on their family and loved ones and do not have the estimated $10k-$15k it costs to cover their funeral and other final expenses, the only option is an affordable final expense life insurance policy. The reason why we mention this is because folks sometimes can get discouraged when cold calling for final expense and find themselves in a situation where they are hearing some people say they can come visit them, but that they are not interested in life insurance. While this is understandably concerning, often times a good agent will still convert 3/10 appointments with seniors that said "you can come over, but I won't buy anything".

Today's Daily Nail Art is this design of Ursula from The Little Mermaid done by polishartaddiction.
The close up cropping of ursula's face gives this design a little bit more of mystery as she gives you a piercing glare. For the rest of the nails, have a portion of her tentacles curving around in various angles and make sure to seal your designs with topcoat so your sick manicure will last a long time.

Miley Cyrus Says Pal Justin Bieber Is 'Stupid' & Does Dumb Stuff, Offers Him Advice
Miley Cyrus is the latest star to offer Justin Bieber advice following his most recent headline-grabbing incident in which he urinated in a mop bucket in a restaurant kitchen.
The former "Hannah Montana" star told Britain's Sunday People newspaper: "I told Justin to take a bit of time out and people aren't so obsessed with you and nit-pick (sic). When you're not around, all they want is your music. They want to see what the next thing is. But when your music is out they just want to talk s**t about you.
"When you're a worldwide star, everyone sees everything. Lots of people make a video and put it on Instagram, some people might think it's funny but because it's Justin Bieber, it's like really bad.
"I always tell him just to be cool and not talk about it because when you talk it fuels the fire. He's still stupid though. But everyone does dumb stuff when they are messed up and he's done dumb stuff. If it was your friend p**ssing into a mop box then you would be laughing, but because it's Justin Bieber, then it's really bad."
Britney Spears, who has also had her share of bad publicity, has also spoken up about the pop star. Check out the video below:


text: No sports cars in the world have quite the allure of the 39 Ferrari 250 GTOs built between 1962 and 1964, and their power, beauty and racing history have made them the most expensive collector vehicles on Earth. To their credit, many 250 GTO owners regularly drive them in public -- and last week, the one pictured above worth about $30 million was hit in what ranks as the world's most expensive car crash.Owned by American investor Christopher Cox and his wife Ann, this 1962 Ferrari 250 GTO had been raced around the world by a Swedish driver in the early '60s -- hence the blue-and-yellow color scheme rather than the traditional Ferrari red. Last week, during a gathering in central France to mark the 50th anniversary of the 250 GTO, another car collided with the Coxes. Ann Cox suffered a broken leg and other injuries, while Christopher Cox had only minor scrapes; both were treated and released from a French hospital.According to people who've seen photos from the crash, the entire front end of the 250 GTO and its 300-hp V-12 was wrecked. It's not the first time this particular GTO has been crashed (it was damaged in 1976 and then restored) but it's a reminder that despite its value, the 250 GTO's tubular steel frame and aluminum body crumple easily compared to the rigid frames of modern vehicles. A similar Ferrari 250 GTO built for racer Stirling Moss sold in May for $35 million in a private auction, making it the most expensive vehicle ever to change hands.Other Ferraris have gone through worse and emerged after much tinkering to retain their classic status. Ferrari owns a restoration arm, Ferrari Classiche, that not only rebuilds and services old Ferraris but provides a blessing for authenticity, even to cars with all-new bodies and rebuilt engines. It may disappear for a few years, but when it comes to cars as rare and sought-after as the Ferrari 250 GTO, there's no such thing as totaled.

Nikolaus Geyrhalter's amazing documentary shows the places where food is produced: surreal landscapes plasticized and optimized for tractors and agricultural machinery, clean rooms in cool industrial buildings designed to ensure logistic efficiency, machines that require uniform materials for smooth processing. What might look like something from the world of science fiction is reality. Our food is produced in spectacular spaces which are seldom seen. Theres little space for humans here.
OUR DAILY BREAD shows the industrial production of food as a reflection of our societys values: plenty of everything, made quickly and simply by a specialized few. Dispensing with commentary and explanatory interviews, the film unfolds on the screen like a disturbing dream: a detailed feast of images, an insistent gaze, accompanied by whirring, clattering, booming, slurping, the machines hydraulic breathingonly the screeching of chickens is louder.
"Superb! The films formal elegance, moral underpinning and
intellectually stimulating point of view also make it essential. Takes
us inside worlds of wonder and of terror."

Saskatchewan Scrap Tire Corp. | Black Gold Rush program aims to rid the province of its stockpile of old tires
Saskatchewan Scrap Tire Corp. will launch the third phase of its effort to clean up stockpiles of old tires this summer.
The Black Gold Rush program focuses on tires that have accumulated on farms, First Nations, rural residences and urban centres, said special projects director Jackie Kuntz.
The program will target 44 southern rural municipalities in June, July and August.
Residents will be able to take their scrap tires to a collection point designated by the RM. SSTC collectors will then take the tires to recyclers for further processing.
Kuntz said extensive advertising will ensure everyone knows about the three-week collection period.
"All of this is done at no charge to the RM, no charge to the ratepayers and it is a one-time free clean-up program," she said.
"Once we're done in an RM we won't go back a second time."
The idea is to encourage tire buyers to return used tires to retailers.
They already pay a recycling fee on each new tire, she added, so it makes sense to actually take it back.
The SSTC was formed in 1996 and formalized by legislation in 1998.
It operates the ongoing current generation program, which is the process of leaving old tires at the retailer when the new one is bought. Those tires are picked up and transported to processors.
The second phase of the corporation's work was a landfill cleanup, which occurred from 1999-2009 and saw the equivalent of two million car tires removed from more than 300 landfills.
"The SSTC cleaned up all the landfills in the province within those communities that agreed to pass a bylaw indicating that after that cleanup, they would no longer accept scrap tires in their landfills," Kuntz said.
Some sites still accept tires but only if a tipping fee is paid. They also make sure those tires go for further processing.
The Black Gold Rush program began as a pilot in 2010 with 30 RMs in southwestern and south-central Saskatchewan.
The pilot ran twice more after some tweaking until 113 RMs were covered.
"We can only do 25 to 40 RMs in a given year because it's funded by our surplus dollars," said Kuntz.
"There's no government funding here."
The program isn't mandatory. Some RM councils, after declining the invitation to participate, have heard complaints from their ratepayers, she said.
The SSTC offers service groups the opportunity to earn money by either operating the entire collection process until the tires are picked up or sorting and counting the collected tires.
4-H, Lions, Kinsmen, historical societies, volunteer firefighters and Communities in Bloom have participated. Kuntz said the RM chooses which service group will do the work.
Collected tires are mostly recycled in Saskatchewan, but certain types must go out of province.
Kuntz said the goal of the SSTC programs is to eliminate stockpiles.
A program to follow Black Gold Rush is called Return to Retailer. It will allow people the opportunity to drop off a limited number of tires at participating retailers.

Coun. Don Mitchell discusses his reasons for council to reconsider defeating a motion that would make proof of third party home warranty insurance mandatory before the city would issue a building permit.
The issue of proof of third party home warranty insurance before receiving a city building permit to build a new home was again a topic of discussion.
Prior to the approval of the minutes of the executive committee, Coun. Don Mitchell brought forward a motion to reconsider executive committee's decision on Dec. 10 to vote against the requirement to prove third party warranty insurance. However, the majority of council defeated Mitchell's motion at Monday's meeting.
Mitchell said his reason to ask council to reconsider was after the housing advisory committee voted to endorse the initiative at a recent meeting.
"Every jurisdiction provincially across Canada with the exception of New Brunswick and Saskatchewan have applied a home warranty protection as a requirement," said Mitchell. "Everyone agrees that it's a good idea. It's simply whether it's the role of the municipality to make this requirement, and I think it is."
Coun. Candis Kirkpatrick said she agreed with Mitchell. She said she was at the meeting of the housing advisory committee as well.
"What I was particularly interested in was one of the members who represents the banking community. One of the things that he stated was that they will not give a mortgage unless there is a home warranty in place," said Kirkpatrick.

The Philadelphia 76ers' early run couldn't go on forever, but it's starting to look like rookie Michael Carter-Williams' game is built to last.
The man who shot up the rookie rankings last week put in another solid seven days of work that should go a long way toward solidifying his hold on the top spot here. A few other first-year studs did their best to keep pace, and a couple of them—Steven Adams and Kelly Olynyk come to mind—even helped their teams notch winning records.
Elsewhere in this week's rookie rankings, one point guard's debut on the list meant another's exclusion, while a certain Detroit Pistons sniper is in danger of slipping out of the top 10 for the first time.
There's still plenty of fluidity in the early going of the 2013-14 season, but a few top rookies are starting to separate themselves from the pack.

Minister announces strategy to regenerate St Helier
Jersey's Planning Minister has announced a significant piece of work to explore opportunities to regenerate St Helier in the next 25 years.
The Future St Helier project will consist of a series of seminars and workshops and will seek opinions on how St Helier should develop during the coming decades in order that it becomes a better place to live and work and a capital all can be proud of.
Speaking at the Jersey Chamber of Commerce lunch on Thursday 10 April, Deputy Rob Duhamel said: "Given the challenges our Island faces with a growing and ageing population, and our wish to protect our coast and countryside, we need to turn our strategic focus on St Helier.
"We must explore all options to develop our town and support the Island's future success, while better meeting the needs of those living and working in our capital. This will involve making some tough decisions and looking at opportunities that some may think too radical."
Deputy Duhamel would like to explore and discuss a number of options to regenerate St Helier, including:
- better quality and more flexible urban living standards
- greener spaces inside and outside of buildings
- better connectivity and walking areas within town
- higher buildings in St Helier
- reacting to changes in retail trends and shopping districts
- adapting the movement of vehicles, cycles and pedestrians within St Helier
- developing urban gardens and community farms
- the need for Jersey to have one or more iconic buildings
- re-establishing town communities and districts
- redefining and protecting the town boundaries
- creating green and open spaces on the outskirts of town
- reviewing the layout and purpose of our town harbours
- exploring opportunities to make better use of the La Collette area
The Future St Helier work will be led by the Department of the Environment and begin with a series of workshops and seminars during the summer.
The work will include opportunities for all to get involved and share their ideas and views, culminating in a strategic framework being agreed by the States.

Flying over the crystal clear, aqua marine waters and miles of sand on the north shore is a bucket-list type moment for many people. But, some are checking this one off before they've even reached 10 years old.
Click here to watch Nana Ohkawa's report.
Around here, they're called the Young Eagles. They're practicing their take offs and landings at Dillingham Airfield as part of the Acroflight International program. It's a school for future aviators ages 8 to 14.
One pilot, 13-year-old Anna Wood, prepped a plane for her 40th flight.
"There were already a lot of younger kids flying here," said Anna. "But a lot of my friends were like, 'You're too young to fly.'"
Co-pilot and instructor Steve Lowry doesn't think so, even if he needs to stack pillows so Anna can reach the controls.
"It's not really scary. It's fun even though you are diving down straight into the ocean. I like that part the best," said Anna. "When we do acrobatics – when you are diving straight down it's really cool. It feels like you don't weight anything. It's really fun and then also when you get lift, you go straight up. So, it's kind of like a roller coaster. It's fun."
Anna has learned some aerial acrobatics and also how to fly formation with another plane.
Lowry has been running the program with his wife Suzy for the past nine years, mostly with donations from the community. Other pilots at Dillingham have been lending their aircrafts, so kids can take to the air more often. Some of the volunteer instructors are active duty air force officers.
The student pilots have to keep up their grades to remain in the program and it costs their parents $60 a flight.
Anna's mom thinks it's worth it.
"She came down just beaming and she said, 'This is what I want to do' and was so excited. I said, 'Are you sure' because I wasn't sure," said Judy Wood, Anna's mother. "I wouldn't be doing what she's doing. I'm very proud of her. She's gone above and beyond."
"Flying is a small part. It's mostly about developing character and citizenship," said Steve. "We've seen some amazing transformations in these kids from being very quiet and shy to becoming bold and developing leadership qualities."
Like Anna. Her goal is now to earn her wings to fly in the National Guard and fly a helicopter for a children's hospital.
You'll find lots of proud moms and dads at the airfield. They have to be there. Even though their kids can zip around overhead in a plane, they still need a ride to the airport.
Kids can't fly gliders alone until they are age 14. They have to wait until age 16 to fly single engine planes solo.

Service helps businesses bid on CDOT projects
- published_in
- Today's News
Connect2DOT, which is a program of the Colorado Small Business Development Center Network and an affiliate of the Colorado Office of Economic Development and International Trade, is designed to help small businesses in the transportation industry become more competitive and successful in bidding and contracting with CDOT and other local transportation agencies.
The bid-matching service makes it easier for businesses to find relevant CDOT opportunities by sending a notification of construction projects when bid items match a company's NAICS code.
Instead of spending hours searching bidding websites trying to find relevant request for proposals, businesses are notified through a weekly email service with a list of new CDOT projects that match their offerings.
NAICS, short for North American Industry Classification System, is a business classification system that categorizes companies into industries defined by businesses that use similar production processes.

The Pennsylvania Game Commission (PGC) recently approved a 10-year management plan for the state's largest rodent, the beaver. Though beavers are plentiful now in the state, at one time they were all but extinct.
According to Tom Hardisky, PGC wildlife biologist, the history of the beaver is quite interesting. Beginning in the 1600s, pelts were in high demand for top hats. The waterproof, fashionable, felt hats remained in style for almost 300 years. Many historians credit the demand for beaver pelts as the major contributor for America's westward expansion.
Around 1850-65, the last wild beaver colony was known to exist in Pennsylvania. By 1915, no beavers were left in the state. So in 1917, the PGC began a reintroduction program, starting with a pair of beavers from Wisconsin. From 1918-25, it released 100 additional beavers into the wild from Ontario and New York. Since then, the population has been increasing.
A trapping season was established in 1934, and 6,500 beavers were taken. Since that time, the harvest has fluctuated up and down, but the trend is moving upwards. At the same time, the price for pelts has been going down. It began to fall sharply after 1980, and today the average price is just $15. The harvest is measured in number taken per 100 square miles, with Wildlife Management Units (WMUs) 1A and 1B in the northwest part of the state having the highest harvests.
We still have a month and a half of winter left, but already some of us are getting cabin fever. Now is the time to break up the season doldrums and visit the fantastic Eastern Sports and Outdoor Show in Harrisburg PA. The 2011 exposition will be held at the Farm Show Complex from February 5 – 13 and is packed with literally something for everyone from three to 93.
There will be over 1,200 exhibitors at the show, including: Mossberg, Savage Arms, Benelli, Innerloc Broadheads, Secret Weapon Lure Company, Campbell Camera's, Nosler Custom Guns, Lancaster County Marine/Hobie Kayaks, Benchmade Knives, Kodabow, and Grumman Boats.
Some of the favorite companies in the 56-year-old show are: Hoyt USA, Primos, Cabela's, Chevrolet, Michael Waddell's Bone Collector, Thompson/Center Arms, Muddy Outdoors, Quaker Boy, Summit Treestands, Horton Crossbows, Excalibur Crossbows, Shu-Fly Fishing, Susquehanna Fishing Tackle, Kinsey's Outdoors, and many more.
One of the exhibit halls is full of outfitters and charters from around the world who can help you select your dream hunting and fishing trips.
There is a new hall this year called "The Fishing Experience". It features a Kids Trout Pond and a pond for the Capital City Bass Masters Casting Contest. Visitors will be able to meet Babe Winkelman, Hank Parker and other fishing celebrities.
During both World War I and II, meat was rationed. Hunters harvested extra food for the table so that domestic livestock could be processed for fighting men. In 1917, the US Department of Agriculture did a press release exclaiming "Save the does. During the coming hunting season kill only full grown bucks". The reasoning behind such a request was that the average doe weighed less than an average buck; the buck yielded more meat.
Hunters were told by the federal government to make every deer count by following these recommendations:
Amid WWII, the Fish and Wildlife Service produced a leaflet called "Save Game Meat-It's Valuable". Meat purchased in the store was limited to 2½ pounds per week for anyone over 12 years old. This rationing resulted in soldiers having meat on the frontlines, and in more hunters bringing home wild game for the table. The 135,000,000 pounds of wild game normally used in American homes in hunting seasons could release sufficient beef, mutton, pork, and poultry to feed an army of 5,000,000 men for two months.
Hunters were also encouraged to harvest duck and geese and salvage the feathers. The feathers were used to line aviators' suits. Harvest figures nationwide for 1943, provided by the Fish and Wildlife Service were:
Killing more deer, especially doe, did not come without its critics. A few sportsmen felt that a powerful movement was underway to slaughter deer and elk herds, spurred on by the "more-meat-at-any-cost crowd" and "big livestock interests".
Hunters were asked not to waste anything. Soon, recipes for muskrat (marsh rabbit), roast possum, ground hog, and baked raccoon were turning up in Game News and other magazines. Muskrat pie, fried muskrat, broiled muskrat, smothered muskrat, Maryland potted muskrat, pickled muskrat, and stewed muskrat livers were just some of the favorites shared.
Predator and rodent control took on added urgency during the war years. Dr. Ira Gabrielson, Chief of the Fish and Wildlife Service said that "control of harmful and destructive birds and mammals is also essential in the efficient production of supplies for war purposes, and that losses to stored grains, foodstuffs, and cloth fabrics credited to rodents and mice in the United States during World War I amounted to many millions of dollars". Fox became public enemy number one as the amount of trappers decreased and a shortage of traps dramatically increased. Snares became legal to use during WWII as a result.
The Game News also got into the war effort. Beginning in 1941, it published pictures and brief descriptions of "Those in Service" to honor Commission employees who joined the military. It reported the name, civilian job, and duty station. It initiated a program called "Breaching the Gap", entreating those who renewed their subscriptions to send along an additional 50 cents (one year subscription rate) so that a soldier in the field would receive Game News. It was a real moral booster, and one soldier wrote that his Game News was "passed around so much that it soon wears out".
Furs were important to the war effort. Before the war, the US imported furs from China, Russia, and Australia. Due to the war, half of the $250,000,000 fur requirement was cut off. In May 1944, the War Emergency Board announced that through the efforts of 3,000 fur garment collection points, 50,000 fur-lined vests were delivered for the use of the Merchant Seamen. However, the Board was urgently in need of more old fur garments.
Many sportsmen's clubs had organized drives to collect rubber, tin, lead, iron, steel, and other scrap metal. In order to save metal for the military, the Game Commission stopped producing tin licenses and went with fiber instead. Steel used to make traps was drafted by the government to be made into tanks, ships, and planes. Sportsmen collected used cartridges and shells in order to salvage the brass. Each city had a local Metal Salvage Committee as part of the National Salvage Program to recycle used ammo.
With the rudder shot to pieces, an engine out, and fuel leaking from the starboard tank, the pilot, struggling to keep the Fortress flying, can see the cliffs of Dover ahead. The palms of his hands are sweating with anxiety. He has no fear however, of losing his grip on the B-17's control wheel. Between the moisture laden skin of his youthful fingers, and the hard surface of the wheel, is one of nature's most supple fabrics, deerskin.
You may be wondering what a flack-damaged B-17 or B-24 Liberator has to do with hunting. Aviators, from Eddie Rickenbacker flying his Nieuport in WWI, to Pennsylvania's own Jimmy Stewart, flying heavy bombers from England in WWII, were grateful recipients of garments provided, in part, by harvested whitetails. Some were Game Commission employees, such as Lt. Nicholas Ruha, who wrote that he was flying a lot and dropping bombs with the words "compliments of the Pennsylvania Game Commission, Division G" written on them.
Soldiering in WWI and WWII was wrought with misery and deprivation. Food, clothing, and ammunition were always in short supply for some soldiers, airmen and infantry. It took many people behind the scenes on the home front to provide the necessities. Pennsylvania hunters and outdoorsmen made major contributions to the war efforts in both wars.
Beginning in 1943, the US Fish and Wildlife Service began to solicit hunters for deer hides. An all out appeal asked hunters to turn in their hides for the production of military equipment. General Conservation Order M-310 issued in June 1943 by the War Production Board, spelled out who could possess deer hides and in what quantity. Hunters could keep hides for their personal use, but the Army asked them to forego such "personal gratification" and give them up. Four pairs of aviator gloves could be made from each hide.
Deer hides furnished quality leather for pilot's gloves, headgear, and mukluks (Artic shoes) for cold climate use. Deerskin proved to be the only suitable material for pilot gloves. The War Production Board tried other types of leathers, but they all proved unsatisfactory for these gloves.
The Fish and Wildlife Service published specific directions for skinning and preparing deer hides. States were also encouraged to educate hunters on how to prepare deer hides for the leather market. The hide was rubbed in salt, covered with paper, and then allowed to dry for eight or ten days. Then it was wrapped in a bundle, hair side out, and sent to a dealer or tannery.
When WWII started, some states, including Pennsylvania, prohibited the sale of deer hides, but the US Department of the Interior asked those states to repeal the ban during the war years. During the 1942-43 hunting season, hunters nationwide donated 238,000 elk and deer hides, and during the 1943-44 season, 162,427 hides were turned in. The War Production Board commended both hunters and state game commissions for their cooperation. Hunters' efforts were cited as an "important contribution to victory".
The December issue of American Hunter has a great article titled "How Coyote Predation Affects Deer Herds" that highlights studies about coyote predation on fawns.
Coyotes were not indigenous to states east of the Mississippi River. They have been on the rise for decades in Pennsylvania and New York. Now they are beginning to populate the southern states. What studies show is that when coyotes are new to an area, their predation habits are different from those that established themselves long ago.
In South Carolina, where coyote numbers are on the rise, studies show that about half of the fawn predation was caused by coyotes. In Georgia, another area that coyotes are just beginning to populate, predation was studied in two areas. In the first, coyotes and bobcats were trapped aggressively, resulting in two fawns for every three does present. In the other area, no trapping was done, and results found only two fawns for every 28 does present.
Another study that is being conducted by the USDA Forest Service in South Carolina attributes 85 percent of fawn deaths to coyotes.
The Pennsylvania fawn mortality study conducted years ago found that of the fawns killed by predators, about half were killed by coyotes and half by black bears. Since that time, coyotes and bear populations have increased and coyotes have saturated most areas of the state.
These studies are important to wildlife managers in terms of predator-prey ecology. But they can't draw multi-state, regional conclusions from site-specific studies. These studies were done at a specific point in time relating to trends in coyotes populations. Additional studies will have to be done once the wildlife managers feel the coyote populations within a state have begun to stabilize.
While it's true that coyotes can have a significant impact on fawns, states like Texas, Louisiana and Mississippi have a long history of coyotes, but still have plenty of deer. This may be the result of the coyotes establishing their niche in the ecosystem and reaching a balance with the available prey.
With the midterm elections coming up tomorrow, we are reminded that Pennsylvania hunters, fishermen, and wildlife really need a champion in the General Assembly. If sportsmen and wildlife conservation are to secure alternative funding and constitutional rights, there is no more opportune time to act than now, beginning at the polling place.
This week in the Tribune-Review, Bob Frye informed his readers that four states – Arizona, Arkansas, South Carolina, and Tennessee –have questions of their ballots asking voters to amend their constitutions to make hunting and fishing rights.
In Pennsylvania, these activities are not rights protected by our system of government, but are considered privileges. It is very difficult to amend the state constitution, which is a good thing, or it would be changed constantly by emotions, reactions, whims, and perceived offenses.
A proposed amendment can originate in either chamber of the Assembly, the House or the Senate. It is introduced as a Joint Resolution and it must be approved by a majority vote of the entire legislature. Approval is required in two successive sessions, i.e. 2011-2012 and 2013-2014. So, any amendment making hunting a right would take more than four years.
The second step involves public notice. Once the proposed amendment is passed in one session of the General Assembly, it must be published in at least two newspapers in each county three months before the next election. This is done to give citizens the opportunity to learn of the proposed amendment and the position taken on the amendment by candidates for election to the General Assembly. As a result, some voters may want to elect new representatives, based on the incumbent's vote or a candidate's anticipated vote on the amendment. After the election, the new General Assembly must again pass the amendment by majority vote. If it passes the second time, the proposed amendment will appear again in newspapers.
The third step also directly involves voters. Once the amendment passes, it will appear as a referendum on election ballots statewide. If it is passed by a majority vote of the citizenry, then the constitution will be amended. If the amendment fails to pass, it cannot be submitted again for five years.
So sportsmen will be relying on the good graces of the 90 percent of folks in Pennsylvania who don't hunt or trap to change the constitution. In other states, ballot referendums have sometimes cost sportsmen their right to trap or to hunt a particular species.
It seems that great minds think alike. The hunting year has gone by as fast as my Z4, and it's time to buy our hunting licenses for the new year. On July 2, we can begin to buy DMAP permits, and soon after, on July 12, we can send for antlerless licenses. It wasn't that long ago that antlerless licenses went on sale in mid-August.
Getting back to great minds, Kip Adams, who works for the Quality Deer Management Association, sent along some information about purchasing an archery license. Kip believes, as I do, that the price of a hunting license is a bargain. He compares how much it costs in the different states to purchase an archery license. It turns out that Pennsylvania is $6 below the national average.
The Pennsylvania Game Commission by law cannot set its own prices for hunting licenses. The General Assembly has that authority but has not raised license fees since 1999.
I did some investigating to find out how Pennsylvania is doing price wise compared to the surrounding states for all types of licenses. The chart below compares adult resident prices for general hunting licenses, trapping licenses, and various permits. This chart tries to compare the same services in each state to a hunter buying all the same services in Pennsylvania. In my examples, each hunter can harvest one buck and one doe. There are some instances where comparisons are not equal and those are noted. Some states have a very different type of licensing structure from Pennsylvania.

Notes from the Manager
If you don't get this strip, consider yourself lucky. Do yourself a favor and stop reading now. I do not assume any responsibility for your failure to heed this warning.
Goatse, to say the absolute least, is a photograph. It is not safe for work.
There is a definition of "Goatse" at Urban Dictionary. (The first photo is safe for work. Not all of the others in the image carousel on that page are.) But reading about what it is, is not knowing the horror that is Goatse.
No, to understand the true horror of Goatse, you will need to Google it yourself.

Multiplex: Chapter 14 is now available!
Saturday, May 28, 2016
Multiplex: Chapter 14 is now available! If you're a Kickstarter or Patreon backer, you have already been notified about this, but for those of you who aren't, you can get it from Gumroad superfast, or you can get it from the Multiplex Store. Either way supports the continued creation of Multiplex.
In Multiplex: Chapter 14, Jason reads a book while the Flickhead and Multiplex crews play more video games. This is some heavy shit here, broh! This volume collects strips #287–310 from the Multiplex archives, plus five bonus comics not found online!
I've probably mentioned this before, but I hope to continue making new Multiplex comics for these collections at about the same pace as the regular comic (two a week) over at Patreon, and then releasing the eBook collections with this material every 4–6 weeks or so. (And then funding a print collection through Kickstarter after all of the bonus material is finished — rather than funding the creation of that new material with the Kickstarter as I've done for the first three books.)
So just because the strip will be finished doesn't mean Multiplex is going to disappear entirely!

Future of the Local News
This is a bit off-topic for this site, but it's a subject I'm very much interested in. Much has been written recently about the future of news coverage, particularly local news coverage. What will happen to our polity if local newspapers, which are pretty much the only source of hard news about local government and events, shut down?
The inimitable Clay Shirky questions this basic assumption. How much of a local newspaper's resources are devoted to actual news coverage? The answer is surprising.

Why Aren't You Watching 'Pawn Stars?'
When "Antiques Road Show" premiered in America thirteen years ago, it astoundingly became something of a phenomenon. The idea of attaching a monetary figure to all that old junk people collected made for some interesting, if not particularly compelling, television. The problem was, of course, no one ever got to sell their antiques as the show only appraised, and never purchased items or put them up for auction. Also, there were only so many antique vases a fellah could see before wondering what else was on. Enter "Pawn Stars".
Following the proprietors of the family owned "Gold & Silver" pawn shop in downtown Las Vegas. "Pawn Stars" takes the appraisal element of "Antiques Road show" and mixes it with a rock n roll vibe, some curse words, a cast of characters only Las Vegas could provide, and most importantly, shows us the money.
And here's the kicker, it's not just antiques. The beauty of "Pawn Stars" is that Rick and his family literally buy anything they can turn a profit on. They've bought helicopters, hot air balloons, a canon that shoots bowling balls, and at one point, almost bought sunken treasure.
Pawn Stars manages to be both entertaining and educational, and is an edutainment appetizer sampler. It's got a little bit about profit margin, a little bit about how to maintain antique guns, a healthy helping of swords, daggers, and classic cars, a dash of humor and the bizzare, and may even teach you a thing or two about the business of running a business.
And, As something of a bonus, because of the popularity of "Pawn Stars", several copy cat shows have sprung up."Pawn Queens" on TLC is about two women in Naperville, IL, and "Hardcore Pawn" on TruTV takes the "Pawn Stars" format to Detroit with a bit more over the top action and yelling. Both shows are good and definitely bring a different enough flavor to the proceedings to make them worthwhile in their own right.
If you're the kind of person who enjoys learning, shows about business, or just plain likes watching edutainment television such as "No Reservations with Anthony Bourdain" "Dirty Jobs" or "Antiques Road Show", Pawn Stars is for you and your family.
So, seriously, why aren't you watching Pawn Stars?
Pawn Stars Airs Sundays at 10PM on the History Channel, and full episodes can be found here

Happy 18th Birthday Demi Lovato.
I noticed you wore a scandalous dress that I would be handcuffed to my basement couch if I ever wore at that age. If my boobs popped out like that and you could see my curves like that I'd be saying 83291038 hail Mary's before never seeing the light of day again. But she's a celeb now. She's also having a bday party where her recent ex-boyfriend/said to be best friend but we all know that's a load of crap is in attendence.
You know, the more this shiz goes on the more I like Demi Lovato. Sure she was a horse to me once upon a time…but horses are friendly. There are tons of friendly horses out there. Take that horse that reappears on Family Guy every now and then, or that horse Artax in the Neverending Story. Sure he dies, but he was a good horse.
Happy Birthday, Demi. Go out and buy yourself someone hot today – you deserve it.

It's often said that buying a property is one of life's more stressful events and too often it turns out to be a time consuming and frustrating business but it doesn't have to be like that. The purchase of a property is one of the biggest financial commitments people make in life yet most buyers put their trust in estate agents who are working for the other side, the seller. The Property Finders think it makes better sense for buyers to have someone working exclusively for them, to protect their interests and with the sole intention of finding the right property for them at the lowest possible price.
Can you imagine buying a property 18,000kms away from where you live, based solely on estate agents details? Thought not, but sometimes it's a necessity and can be done if you have your own property finders working for you.

What was this TMNT rip-off show?
When I was ten or so, I remember catching a TMNT-style animated show with a 50s theme. What was it? [more inside]
Trying to identify an old 1980s feature-length Halloween cartoon.
This Halloween animation about a kind witch and two children aired on broadcast television sometime in the early 1980s. Because I was only 6 or 7-years-old, I remember very little. Please, help me this identify this show. [more inside]
Identify cartoon featuring a forest feast inside a tree.
I'm trying to remember and find a clip online of a cartoon from my childhood. I don't believe it was a series. It featured a community of forest animals and from what I remember, focused on them collecting food for the winter. But there was one animal who refused to help collect food. When winter finally came, all the other animals were inside (a tree?) having a feast, while the lone animal who refused was stuck outside in the cold/snow. He/she trudged over to the door (of the tree) and they let him inside and everyone ate. Any ideas?
Quino cartoon about television.
I've been trying to find one of my favourite cartoons, but with no luck so far. I'm pretty sure it's by Quino. It depicts a child watching TV and the child's mother coming in through the living room door. The child's head is made up of horizontal lines (presumably from watching too much TV), and the draft coming in from the door makes the lines (i.e., the top of the child's head) disconnect from each other and fly out. Help me find a link. Thank you!
An old cartoon I saw on television
In an old cartoon clip, a rider who was perhaps but not definitely yosemite sam goes to jump on his horse again, to ride off. The horse takes exception to this and nays: "Whoooahoahoah no ya don't!" and if I remember correctly, proceeds to stand up, reach around, and yank the rider off his back. What cartoon is this? Super Friday bonus points for a YouTube link.

There are precious few things that I and a certain "independent" on this site agree on. The absurdity of "gun control" is one. Another's that so many of the problems in our government go on because of the general apathy of the American public.
(Needless to say, laying it at the feet of Conservatives and Christians, dismissing them as racist/zealously-nutty/bigoted, is NOT an agreeable position, in the slightest — and to be blunt, at times it comes across as pretty "bigoted", itself. So many self-proclaimed "independent voices" come across as little more than stubbornly self-righteous in their own pliability and nihilism. One minute, "Ron Paul Revolution!" — the next, "Utopia means extensive government services, though Ron Paul would vehemently disagree!" One minute, "Millennials have an uncanny ability to smell BS!" — the next, "The new generation of voters is more apathetic than ever, and that's why politicians are so comfortable with duping us!" So… are Millennials immune to duping, or are they the reason we're being duped? But I digress …)
An issue that everyone probably should agree on, however, is: Political Correctness is a destructive force in our society. PC's what's led to sheep's-clothing mafias like CAIR, PETA, and GLAAD imposing their will on our government and our culture with iron fists. In CAIR's case in particular, the results can be tragically deadly— as the terrible instances of honor killings within our borders indicate. (CAIR labels the investigations of such as "Islamophobic", and to this day the FBI is very reluctant to take those kinds of cases. And considering how Director Robert Muller is not afraid of the organized crime we all know and love … that's saying a lot.)
PC's what caused so many of us to be afraid of what to say — it's what strips so many of their self-confidence and bold initiative. It's what makes so many so timid — "Could what I'd otherwise say be in any way construed as racist, or sexist, or bigoted, or homophobic, or Islamophobic, or anything-but-Christianophobic?" (For some reason, Christians — and Conservatives, and Tea-Partiers — are considered fair game. Poking fun at Jesus is fine — poking fun at Mohammed is grounds for appeasing rioters. Go figure.)
As it stands, you never know whether what you've said could get you fired. No … scratch that: you never know whether what you've said that's non-Left-leaning could get you fired. Yes … as a rule, if you look at the effects of PC on our culture, it almost invariably leaves off the hook terribly disgusting things spewed in favor of the Left (SEE: Bill Maher and Al "The Joker" Franken). Those people are defended as "honest voices". But heaven forbid we have a Conservative who says what they mean, and means what they say — their words are twisted and blown out of proportion. Not that those who aren't Right have an out, necessarily.
Juan Williams isn't a Conservative, certainly — though he is an honest man in the Bill Cosby mold (well, the Bill Cosby of the old days, anyway). He used to be a good trustworthy voice on NPR — until he admitted on Fox News (where he works as an analyst) that he maybe stiffens a little when he sees people coming onto a plane in traditional Muslim garb. NPR fired him … even though they kept Nina Totenberg after she wished AIDS upon a certain member of Congress who opposed "same-sex marriage" … and maybe his grandkids, too. (The panel she was on laughed, in case you're wondering.)
By the way … Cosby destroyed his career by daring to tell the men in the black community to step up and be good fathers. Nowadays, he's reduced to telling the men in the black community to act like members of the Nation of Islam.
Look at Paula Deen. She's just been fired from the Food Network, presumably for having used The N-Word in the past. (Apparently, there are other things — but THIS is the "big" one!) In … the … past. She's apologized on YouTube — twice … but to no avail.
Look, I admit I don't know the whole story aside from what's been on the news — honestly, who does but Paula Deen? As of now, it looks as though she's being harassed for a dark past — which, again, she's tearfully repented over. But then, as a white Southerner whose recipes famously defy the Michelle Obama "eat-the-way-we-say-or-else" crowd … she's fair game.

Re: Aikido Frauds
I guess that the old adage, "may the buyer beware" needs to be in place here. New people need to do some research and ask questions but I would think that good research comes first. Unfortunately, in every field, that is the problem. Car dealers dupe millions of people every year by taking the customer into the finance office to buy the vehicle. In fact, the dealer will never try to give you the best deal on the financing. If you want that, you have to get the financing through an outside company that will work for you.. The dealer works for himself. The finance man gets his commission off of any additional products he can sell so they are highly motivated to add stuff on. Only research will reveal that. I was cheated for years because I was too lazy to do the research. The martial arts public feeds the problem by not doing their homework. As aikido becomes more popular, this may be a trend. I know one dojo where the instructor is now offering his own ranks. He did so after realizing that every one coming through the door didn't know who the Hombu Dojo was until he told them. At some point, he decided to keep the money he was sending to the Main Headquarters for himself which was all legal and proper. The ethical problem is that he is taking advantage of the public's ignorance because they don't realize that his certificates aren't as valuable as the ones from the Hombu. We can fight it at least by educating the people who come to check out our dojos on what they should look for in a martial arts school.
Best wishes,

Acacia finds power in heroic 'Irena's Vow'
On the 74th anniversary of Kristallnacht, Acacia Theatre Company opened its new season by commemorating a brave soul who said "no" to the ensuing madness.
Irena Gut was barely 20 when she risked her life by hiding one dozen Jews in the basement of a German officer's house, where she worked as a housekeeper in wartime Poland. In playwright Dan Gordon's "Irena's Vow," she tells us what happened, through a testimonial that morphs into a re-creation of the events she lived through. »Read Full Article(1)
Alchemist Theatre's 'King Lear' reigns as family drama
Early in Friday's opening-night performance of Alchemist Theatre's "King Lear," Bo Johnson's aged king called for the map demonstrating his intended division of Britain among his three daughters. Lear's attendants dutifully unfurled it — with the bottom at the top and the top at the bottom. When they tried to hang the map up, it kept falling down.
Director Leda Hoffmann confirmed during intermission that this sequence wasn't planned. But such a topsy-turvy world aptly illustrates the disorder that descends on Britain once the hot-tempered Lear banishes his beloved Cordelia, counting on his remaining two daughters to keep him and Britain safe. »Read Full Article

- Morks, M. F.; Kobayashi, Akira
- Abstract
- For biomedical applications, hydroxyapatite (HA) coatings were deposited on 304 stainless steel substrate by using a gas tunnel type plasma spraying process. The influences of spraying distances and plasma arc currents on the microstructure, hardness and adhesion properties of HA coatings were investigated. Microstructure observation by SEM showed that HA coatings sprayed at low plasma power have a porous structure and poor hardness. HA coatings sprayed at high plasma power and short spraying distance are characterized by good adhesion and low porosity with dense structure. Hardness increased for HA coatings sprayed at shorter spraying distance and higher plasma power, mainly due to the formation of dense coatings.

Because even if people think he's annoying, all he does is sing. He's a pretty nice guy. I'm not saying he should be adored insanely either, but he doesn't deserve half the hate he gets. He's not terrible enough that it's worth all the hype over him. If you don't like him, cool, but the people that never quit whining about how much he sucks are more annoying than his music anyway. Now watch as I will probably get red thumbs for being neutral about a musician.
