- - Heartworms... (http://www.germanshepherds.com/forum/health-issues/441105-heartworms.html)
I need as much info as I can get!!! My Foster dog has a very bad case of heartworms and we are getting ready to start treatment. He is 8 to 10 yrs old and I have put enough weight on him to get him ready for treatment but have no idea what to expect. Pretty sure he has had them most of his life as I was told he has hundreds of them. We are going with the slow kill method because of his age and health. Any and all info would be greatly appreciated , ...this guy so deserves a second chance in life. thanks!!!!
Poor buddy - thank you for fostering him and taking care of his health. He's in for a long road to recovery. You know Jean has posted some excellent information in the past about heartworm treatments. Perhaps send her a PM - not sure if she will see your post. Good luck to you this boy.
With HW+ dogs, you don't want to let them run too much. The harder the heart pumps, the worse the HW disease gets. Low key lifestyle, and easygoing play and walks are the right approach.
Is the dog symptomatic (coughing, exercise intolerance, etc.)? Have they taken x-rays to rule out Caval Syndrome (the final, terminal stage of HW disease)? If the symptoms are bad, a little prednisone may help (it comes with side effects, but in bad cases of HW, the side effects may be worth the benefit) - your vet can help you think about whether it's needed.
In rescue in Gulf Coast region, we are seeing dogs clear HW in 6-12 months using a monthly dose of Advantage Multi and one 30-day cycle of Doxycycline (by contrast, the Heartgard/ivermectin-based preventatives were taking closer to 2 years to clear the worms). From my lay perspective, it really seems like there's something different about how Advantage Multi works on juvenile worms and weakens the adults. I can't tell you how or why, but lots of people who do dog rescue in the Deep South talk about it.
For the Doxycycline, my understanding is that they should stay on it for a full 30 days. It's usually a high dose, but it is an important part of the treatment. I've had several dogs who were symptomatic, with a distinctive cough that is from the HW, who became asymptomatic after the Doxy. It seems to really help them feel better. Most dogs tolerate it well. There may be some tummy upset the first few days, but they seem to settle in and do just fine with it.
Our vet has us start Advantage Multi on HW+ dogs as soon as they come into foster care. We also start the Doxy right away, giving it with their AM and PM meals.
If you are thinking about doing "fast kill" treatment, most vets want them on preventative for 3 months before doing it (sometime in those 3 months, they also want the 30 days of Doxy completed). I've taken two personal dogs through "fast kill" with immiticide. I would be reluctant to start it during warm weather (my understanding is that cold weather makes the treatment easier on them and less risky). The injections are very, very painful -- some dogs suffer a lot with them. The crate rest that follows is worse. 1-2 months of crate rest is very, very tough on the dog, but very necessary after the injections. I have not lost a dog to this treatment, but I know of other rescues who have had dogs not make it through.
With a senior dog, they don't have much time left anyway, so I would be reluctant to put them through that kind of intensive restriction. I think you are right to be thinking about slow-kill options, as long as he's otherwise in good health and the disease hasn't progressed to the point that his life is in danger if the worms aren't immediately removed. Doing a full health work up might be important to make this decision (x-rays, blood work, etc.), given the age and suspected worm load.
Feel free to PM as you are going through it, if you have any questions.
The Heartworm Society is looking at the slow kill method as a possible reason for resistance. http://www.heartwormsociety.org/pdf/...ment_FINAL.pdf If a dog is medically cleared, I think the only way to approach the treatment is to follow their recommendations. http://veterinarynews.dvm360.com/dvm.../detail/833569
---> Agree that you need to have the caval syndrome completely ruled out. You need an experienced vet to stage him. With that many worms...I'd be really concerned and want make sure it's not that. Big Dogs, Big Heartworm: Caval Syndrome Surgical Treatment Ultrasound, x-rays, blood work, urinalysis, etc. plus from that DVM360 article/AHS recs:
I started this blog when my foster was one of 7 or so dogs that we had at one time who were HW+, over half local, in an area not supposed to be a HW concentrated one. She was 9 but didn't have that many adult worms: Big Dogs, Big Heartworm: June 2011 I wrote it so that I could chunk the vast information available into more understandable pieces.
I would really want more information on what was going on in there for sure, and do the doxy as Magwart said, in the mean time.
Thank you!!! I am so worried about my boy. I just hate that he has to go thru this. We have a vet visit tomorrow and I will know more than. I really appreciate all your replies.

In the middle of 2007, Shai Agassi, a software multimillionaire turned environmental entrepreneur, was pondering how to make an electric car affordable to the average Joe. At that point, the all-electric vehicle—as opposed to electric-gasoline hybrids such as the Toyota Prius—was widely derided as impractical. General Motor's EV1 had appeared in 1996 and, despite its cultlike following, the company stopped producing it after three years, saying the program was not commercially successful. The most advanced electric vehicle, the Tesla Roadster, was about to be released; it would travel some 200 miles on a fully charged battery, but at $109,000, the sleek sports car would be accessible only to the affluent; the company says about 1,200 of the vehicles are on the road. More affordable cars, at the time mostly in the planning stages, would be equipped with batteries averaging just 40 to 100 miles per charge. The power limitations had even spawned a new expression—"range anxiety," the fear of being stranded with a dead battery miles from one's destination.
From This Story
Related Content
Then, on a scouting trip to Tesla's northern California plant, Agassi had an epiphany: "I scribbled down on a piece of paper, 'batteries consumable. They're like oil, not part of the car.' That's when it dawned on me—let's make the batteries switchable."
Two years later, in a cramped booth behind the exhibition hall at the Frankfurt Auto Show, Agassi was celebrating the payoff of that epiphany. The California company he founded, Better Place, had just announced its biggest deal yet: an agreement with Renault, the French car manufacturer, to produce 100,000 all-electric vehicles, or EVs, for sale in Israel and Denmark starting in 2010. Around the corner at the giant Renault exhibition, a garishly lit display showed a stylized version of one of Agassi's "switching" stations in action: a robot with a steel claw extracted and replaced a model of a 600-pound battery from a cavity in the bottom of the vehicle in three minutes.
"We use the same technology that F-16 fighters use to load their bombs," said Agassi, an Israeli-American, who got the inspiration from a pilot in the Israel Defense Forces.
If Agassi's dream once seemed premature, concern about global warming, government pressure to produce zero-emissions vehicles, high oil prices and rapid improvements in lithium-ion batteries have begun to make electric vehicles look increasingly viable. By 2013, several models will have hit the road, including the Smart Fortwo, made by Daimler; the Nissan Leaf; the Mitsubishi i-MiEV; the Chevrolet Volt; and Tesla's Model S.
Governments are trying to accelerate the shift away from fossil fuels. The Obama administration is providing $2.4 billion in research-and-development grants to electric car and battery manufacturers to improve vehicle battery technology. The Chinese have pledged to put half a million alternative-fuel cars on the road by 2011.
"In 2007 you could barely see an electric car" at the Frankfurt Auto Show, says Agassi, an intense 42-year-old, coolly elegant in a black tieless suit. "If you walked around talking about EVs, everybody assumed you were smoking something."
Agassi's business plan is unique among electric-car service providers. Others will make the vehicles. He will lease the batteries to car owners, and sell access to his switching and charging network. He expects to make his money selling miles, much as a cellphone-service provider sells minutes. Subscribers to Agassi's plan would be entitled to pull into a roadside switching station for a battery change or to plug into a charging station, where dozens of other cars might also be hooked up, for an overnight or workday charge. Agassi estimates his customers will pay no more for battery power than they would spend on gasoline to travel the same distance. As business grows and costs fall, Agassi says, profits will soar. He says eventually he might give cars away, just as cellular-service providers offer free phones to customers with long-term contracts.
Agassi was born in a Tel Aviv suburb—his father is an electrical engineer and his mother a fashion designer—and he began programming computers at age 7. He has already had one hugely successful career. In his early 20s he founded a software company, TopTier, that helped corporations organize data; at age 33, he sold it to the German software giant SAP for $400 million. He later became SAP's chief of technology. Flush with cash and looking for a new challenge, he turned to global warming. At a gathering of young leaders at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, in 2005, Agassi and other attendees were asked, "How do you make the world a better place?"
The challenge, he recalled to me, was "to do something more meaningful than create a new version of software. How do you run a country without oil, on today's state-of-the-shelf technology?"

|A well loved salad in the South, made from fresh broccoli and cauliflower, sweet green bell pepper, red onion, celery, and a sweet and sour dressing, with just a touch of Deep South flair.
Broccoli and Cauliflower SaladI love this salad. I don't even mind the rawness of the broccoli that usually bothers me with broccoli salad, I guess because its offset by the addition of cauliflower. My anti-veggie hubby won't eat this his salad of course, but it keeps great for days in the fridge, so I make it up and eat on it all week where it just keeps getting better.
There are quite a few varieties of this salad around, some even including cheese, bacon and nuts and more like that fabulous broccoli salad we all also love. I prefer mine with simply fresh broccoli and cauliflower, chopped celery and always thin strips of red onion and sweet green bell pepper. Have I mentioned I love this salad?
Here's how easy it is to make it.
Trim, chop into small bite-sized pieces, and rinse the broccoli and cauliflower.
Whisk the dressing ingredients together in a large storage bowl. I use vegetable oil, real mayonnaise, granulated sugar, apple cider vinegar, Creole or yellow mustard, salt, pepper and Cajun or Creole seasoning.
Add the chopped celery, and very thinly sliced red onion and bell pepper, and gently fold the dressing into the vegetables. Taste and adjust seasonings and refrigerate several hours or preferably overnight, before serving.
Recipe: Broccoli and Cauliflower Salad©From the Kitchen of Deep South Dish
Prep time: 10 min |Inactive time: 8 hours | Yield: About 6 to 8 servings
For the Dressing:
For the Salad:
- 1/2 cup of vegetable oil
- 1/2 cup of real mayonnaise
- 1/4 cup of granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons of apple cider vinegar
- 1 tablespoon of Creole or yellow mustard
- 1/2 teaspoon of kosher salt, or to taste
- 1/4 teaspoon of freshly cracked black pepper, or to taste
- 1/4 teaspoon of Cajun or Creole seasoning, or to taste, optional
- 1 head of fresh cauliflower, trimmed to bite sized pieces
- 1 head of fresh broccoli, trimmed to bite sized pieces
- 2 stalks (ribs) of celery, chopped
- 1 small red onion, halved lengthwise and cut into thin strips
- 1 small bell pepper, halved lengthwise and cut into thin strips
Whisk the dressing ingredients together in a large storage bowl. Add the vegetables and gently fold dressing into them. Taste and adjust seasonings. Refrigerate several hours or preferably overnight.
Cook's Notes: I prefer this salad without, but some folks enjoy tossing it with cheese, bacon and/or nuts. Add 1 strip of bacon, cooked crisp and crumbled, 1/4 cup of shredded or cubed cheddar cheese, and a few tablespoons of chopped nuts or sunflower seeds, just before serving.

The Destination
Nowhere is the portrait of small-town America as vivid as it is in Vergennes. Vermont's first city has today become its smallest, but the larger-than-life past of this 18th-century town (most of it listed on the National Register of Historic Places) has ensured that Vergennes will live on not only as a tribute to the past, but as a getaway town with quaint restaurants, plenty of recreation, and that down-to-earth friendliness you won't find in the city.
The Digs
Packed with New England charm, the AAA Three Diamond-rated Strong House Inn is perhaps the best example of Greek Revival architecture in the area, itself listed on the National Register of Historic Places. With views of both the Adirondack and Green Mountains, this 15-room inn—built in 1834—features a courtyard, gazebo, and gardens. Inside, the Seaside and Plantation rooms are furnished with a four-poster king-size bed, a gas fireplace, cathedral ceilings, and coffee and tea niches. Other amenities include wireless Internet, TV, phone, and air-conditioning.
Swing by the Ticonderoga Great Room and Tavern to kick off the evening with a cocktail and unwind. Next, head up to the Black Sheep Bistro and use your $25 dinner voucher to enjoy a French-inspired meal prepared with fresh, local ingredients.
The Diversions
• Shelburne Museum is one of the country's most diverse museums of New England history, containing paintings, folk art, quilts and textiles, carriages, toys, tools, gardens, historic houses, and the famous 220-foot restored steamboat Ticonderoga
• The Lake Champlain Maritime Museum has something for all interests and ages. One of the best experiences visitors have is meeting and talking with experts who are eager to share the history, ecology, and lore of Lake Champlain
• Sample your way around Dakin Farm and enjoy summer sausage, Vermont cheddar, wild strawberry jam, and more. Fill up your cooler with the best Vermont has to offer
• Visit Lincoln Peak Vineyard for a tasting and tour of the largest grape producer in the state and the only winery in America to win three Best of Show awards (in '09, '10, and '11) at the International Cold Climate Wine Competition
"Soft, elegant warmth describes both the Inn and the owners: You feel like old friends within minutes of your arrival. Surroundings, inside and out, are both beautiful and comfortable. Truly a place where stress falls away."-- BedandBreakfast.com

text: I have an antifreeze leak in my 1999 chevy silverado. I have looked underneath for a trail and under the hood for one. I checked the oil to see if there was any kind of milky look to it or if any water came out with it and no luck. it has been about a year since it started and just recently has it started to get worse but i still cant find any clues to where it is leaking. Someone suggested a sealant you put in your system and others say that it will just clog pumps and cause more problems. any ideas?

For military history buffs it's a must. But remember your cash and be self-sufficient on this island adventure, writes Paul Charman
If you own an adventure motorcycle, a fascinating day-trip awaits you that avoids tedious processions along SH1 or SH16 to escape Auckland. Why not take your bike on the ferry to Waiheke?
Round trip for bike and two passengers comes to $125, which seems pricey but provides an excellent hour-long voyage past inner gulf islands.
And, if time is short, you can easily cram this adventure into a single day, with a bike being perfect for island sight-seeing.
There's plenty to discover on Waiheke, between departing Wynyard Wharf (near the Tank Farm) at 8.30am and returning there from Kennedy Point at 4pm.
And while tastes vary, with some preferring cafes, restaurants and the sublime Onetangi Beach, others of us will zero in on Waiheke's remarkable military history.
This demands a 20km (45-minute) ride from Kennedy Point to the far eastern end of the island.
Colemans Suzuki loaned me their 2012 Suzuki V-Strom 650 ABS demo bike for this two-up adventure and the helpful Sealink staff shepherded us aboard their ferry, assuring us bikes don't require lashing down on the relatively short journey, as none ever look like falling off their side stands during the voyage.
They were right.
It was great gliding down the ramp aboard the well-balanced adventure bike, through the leafy residential streets, past Onetangi Beach and out on to the rugged metal roads leading to Stony Batter Fortress.
We seldom got out of third or fourth gear but, while a 250cc would have done the job fine, you just can't beat big cubes for two-up riding comfort.
The long-travel suspension soaked up all bumps and the tyres performed well in metal.
Our objective required an additional half-hour hike after parking, but it was worth it.
About 70 years ago, Stony Battery was New Zealand's top secret "Manhattan Project".
During the war, news that sister fortresses were being built at Whangaparaoa and Wrights Hill, Wellington, apparently filtered out as folk watched heavily-laden trucks rumbling past their doors and joined the dots as to where they were headed.
But supreme isolation, plus the fact that it was supplied from Man'O War Bay, meant nobody beyond military personnel and 180 or so workers had any inkling Stony Batter existed.
Yet this was the largest World War II fort built in New Zealand, the last 9.2 inch (23.4cm) gun fortress built anywhere in the world and our first major project to employ concrete pumps.
Stony Batter's radar-guided 9.2 inch guns could shoot well over the horizon (range 26km), to draw a bead on any Japanese warship entering the gulf.
But while New Zealand is prepared to celebrate a multitude of cultures, its own heritage is less respected.
Back in the 1960s, the unnamed idiots in power at the time saw to it that the guns, machinery and electric power were stripped out of the defunct fortress, then scrapped.
Heritage site or not, the Department of Conservation, which was made responsible for Stony Batter Fortress, then showed little inclination to open it to the public.
For safety reasons, DoC made plans to back-fill the entrance to the 1km-long tunnel complex.
The fact you can visit the fortress today, inspect some fascinating memorabilia and look through its tunnels by torchlight, is thanks to a few staunch Waiheke volunteers.
But remember, the place has considerable costs and runs on a shoestring. You need money to enter the underground complex ($5 child, $8 adult, $25 family - plus torch hire).
There are a few seats and some public toilets, but you need food and water bottles.
The billion-dollar views from the three gun emplacements are amazing and it was delightful to see rambunctious pet sheep guarding the tunnel entrance, and young children from around the island being trained as junior guides.
Members of the Stony Batter Preservation and Protection Society, led by Sue Pawley, make huge sacrifices to keep this place open.
My advice is go expecting to be positive, respectful and self-sufficient.
The V-Strom managed a full day-long trip round Waiheke, plus two joyrides from the CBD to Takapuna, all on about $10 of gas.

Awards as the outstanding senior athletes among
Hope College graduates in the class of 2000 were presented to two
students during the college's Honor Convocation on Thursday
(April 27).
Erinn Van Auken of Holland was presented the John Schouten
Award while Tom Bouwens of Zeeland High School is the recipient
of the Otto van der Velde All-Campus Award.
The Schouten award is given to a senior woman who, in
addition to excelling in athletics, possess other strong
character traits and leadership abilities. The award is named in
memory of John "Jack" Schouten who was a long-time physical
educator and coach at Hope, in addition to serving as the
college's first director of athletics.
The van der Velde award is presented to a senior man for
outstanding contribution to the college in athletics, scholarship
and participation in student activities. The award, presented
annually since 1932, is named in memory of Dr. Otto van der
Velde, a 1915 Hope College graduate who lettered in four sports
and was later team physician for more than 40 years.
A special education major with an emphasis in learning
disabilities, Van Auken became the most decorated female NCAA
swimming All-American in Hope history. This season she was - more -
voted the most valuable female swimmer in the Michigan
Intercollegiate Athletic Association (MIAA). At this year's NCAA
Division III nationals she was an All-American five times and
finished her career an All-American a school-record 24 times. A
1996 graduate of West Ottawa High School, she is the daughter of
Mr. and Mrs. William (Janice) Van Auken of Holland.
A chemistry major, Bouwens was also a four-year letterwinner
in swimming and was captain of this year's team. A specialist in
the butterfly, he was a member of Hope's NCAA All-American medley
relay teams as both a junior and senior. A 1996 graduate of
Zeeland High School, he is the son of Mr. and Mrs. Joel
(Marianne) Bouwens of Zeeland.
Both have been honored for academic achievement by the
College Swimming Coaches Association of America and the Michigan
Intercollegiate Athletic Association (MIAA).

United States Attorney
Northern District of Ohio
Emily M. Sweeney
United States Attorney
James G. Lynch
Assistant United States Attorney
(216) 622-3546
Student Loan Fraud Indictment Announced
Emily M. Sweeney, United States Attorney for the Northern District of Ohio, today announced that a federal grand jury in Cleveland returned a two-count Indictment against Willie J. Reed, charging him with fraud on the Department of Education and use of a false Social Security number.
Reed, age 27, formerly resided at 27100 Tungsten Avenue, Euclid, Ohio.
The indictment alleges that beginning in 1996 through 1997, Reed applied for and received federal student aid loans, insured loans, and grants to assist him as a student at Kent State University. Sometime late in 1997, Reed left Kent State University and defaulted on the loans he had received, thereby making him ineligible to receive any further federal student aid.
The indictment further alleges that Reed enrolled at Cleveland State University in August, 1999, and applied for student aid using false information to disguise his identity, and obtained by fraud, funds and assets provided and insured by the Department of Education and National City Bank totaling $9,750.00. Reed is alleged to have received refund checks from Cleveland State University, including one in the amount of $3,775.64, on January 21, 2000. He is charged with using a false Social Security number on October 25, 1999 when he applied for a federally insured student loan.
The charges are in violation of Title 20, Section 1097(a), student loan fraud (count 1), and Title 42, Section 408(a)(7)(B), use of a false Social Security number (Count 2). Each violation carries a maximum penalty of 5 years imprisonment and/or a fine of $250,000.
The case was presented to the grand jury by Assistant U. S. Attorney James C. Lynch following an investigation by agents of the U. S. Department of Education, Office of Inspector General, Chicago, Illinois.
An indictment is only a charge and is not evidence of guilt. A defendant is entitled to a fair Trial in which it will be the government's burden to prove guilt beyond a reasonable doubt.

Where I stayed

What I did
Whitewater kayaking
rapid scouting
While we waited for the shuttle we did one last email check and facebook update to our family and friends. We got something to drink and some muffins in the Metro Cafe within the hotel so we weren't starving.
Our shuttle took us back to the airport where we met Anna, Mary Frances from Girls at Play and Laura one of the guides from Canyons who would be hosting our trip. There were several ladies already there and we were waiting for a few more. We introduced ourselves and talked for a bit. I finally got to meet in person a southern boater named Leila who I've known on facebook for a long time! LOL!
Once everyone had arrived the Canyons staff and the pilots began to take our luggage and gear and load it on the plane
We walked outside to find out why this was necessary and it was because we were taking several 6 seater prop planes to Salmon, ID. Each plane could only hold so much weight between gear and people and they had to assign seats to better balance out the plane! Our flight took about an hour and took us to Salmon, ID. As we flew over Boise it was easy to see why people settled there, it was the only place in the surrounding area that had trees. Everything else was arid, extremely mountainous and seemed nearly impossible to live in. As we continued to fly we saw several tiny villages dotting the landscape and huge cracks in the land with a river at the bottom, it was pretty but looked very rugged.
Once we landed we had a few minutes to use the restrooms and look around while our gear was being taken off the plane and loaded onto a bus. Kathy and I purchased a guide book that we found at the airport called " Idaho's Salmon River: A River Runner's Guide to the River of No Return, Corn Creek to Carey Creek". It was a guide to the specific section of river that we were running and it was waterproof. It has lot of great info on the rapids, camp sites, and the history of the river
We then loaded the bus and started a two hour drive to the put-in at Corn Creek. Along the way we saw pretty scenery, big horn sheep eating on the side of the road and glimpses of the river here and there. We made a pit stop along the way and we finally arrived at the put-in around lunch time.
When we got there we could see that the rest of the Canyons staff was there and had our kayaks unloaded and waiting for us. They also had lunch set out for us. We had a chance to change into our river gear, use the last civilized toilet for the week and eat lunch. Lunch consisted of sandwiches, drinks, chips and cookies.
We then had some time to go outfit our kayaks. When we signed up for the trip we had a chance to select one of their kayaks for the week. I choose a Wavesport Diesel 65 because I have one and I like it. We arranged the seat, hip pads and the foot braces just the way we like it and fits us and gathered our gear up and put it with our boat.
When lunch was over they gathered all of us and gave us waivers to fill out and a water bottle to use for the trip
We were told that the river level was 9,500 cfs, easily double the normal volume of water for that time of the year and that we would be paddling 13 miles today from Corn Creek to our camp at Devil's Tooth Rapid. We were all given single tents and camp pads for sleeping, they stayed on one of the oar rigs while we paddled each day. We were also told to keep our water bottles full and to keep drinking to avoid dehydration in the heat and arid air. We were each given a small "day" dry bag to keep inside our kayak and we could put whatever we wanted in it. I usually kept my lip balm, sunscreen, sunglasses and a hat in mine. We were also given a huge dry bag which contained our sleeping bag and enough room for our dry camp clothes and very limited toiletries we were able to bring. Once those were packed and loaded onto the oar rigs we had to usual safety speech from our trip leader Lisa and a few other things we needed to know about
In total we were going to be paddling 81 miles over the next 6 days with an average gradient drop of 1,000 vertical feet or a drop of 12 feet per mile. We would be stopping every afternoon for lunch and sometime for some side hikes and to visit some historic ranches, every night we would camp on a designated beach area where we would have happy hour, dinner and dessert. Yoga would be done every morning before breakfast. Basically we were living on the river for the next week. Lisa and Laura then explained the bathroom policy to us. We were told that the Park Service stance was "the solution to pollution is dilution", basically we had to pee in the river. For the other issue we had what amounted to an large ammo case with a seat on it. It was taken down river on the raft and set up anytime we set up camp. At first it sounded so bizarre but you really got used to it pretty quickly. Once we had all the info we needed to know we were able to get into our boats and paddle around.
We did some warm ups and rolls next to the beach just as a large jet boat came up river and made a huge wake. Once we entered the current it was easy to feel the power of the Salmon even in the flatter area. There were weird boils that opened up out of the blue and wanted to suck you in
Our first rapid was class II+ Killum Rapid about 1.6 miles into the trip. It sits just beyond a sharp right hand turn of the river and for the most part was runnable in the center. There were some large powerful wave trains to paddle through but nothing too crazy. We had two swimmers both Karen and Sally, but we got them back into their kayak and IK without a problem. Killum is named for the Killum family who lived on the beach next to the rapid in the 1930s.
We had about .7 mile to our next rapid. Along the way we saw big horn sheep feeding down by the river, eagles flying above us and some small deer on a beach. We passed them quietly and let them be. Next up was class II+ Gunbarrel Rapid. It was a strait forward run and no one had any problem here. We passed by Hand Spring Beach, Horse Creek Camp and Bridge Beach Camp, all different beach sites on the river because we already had a designated beach for the night
Next we came to class II Stub Creek Rapid which ran mainly right of center to avoid the large hole on the left. We were starting to notice that out west only the bigger rapids get names as we passed through dozens of smaller unnamed rapids. Also the scale of rapid difficulty seemed to be a bit off here. What they called a class II was likely an east coast class III, and just because it was a class II rapid that was one thing but more often than not they had class IV sized lateral waves and boils waiting to take you down!
Another thing that we noticed was that the scenery was starting to change very gradually. The put-in area at Corn Creek was surrounded by trees, now as we floated along we noticed trees mainly on the left bank and open fields with sporadic trees on the right hand bank. The explanation is that the left bank is cooler because it is in shadow most of the day and it supports more plant life and retains more water. The right bank gets more direct sunlight all day and is drier
We passed by the Stub Creek Camp, and the Legend Creek Pictographs because the poison ivy was too bad. We also passed Upper and Legend Creek Camps and the Spindle Creek Campsite. There were a few rustic cabins along the banks of the river near flat bars or beaches. We also passed by Lucky Creek Trail, Cottonwood Creek, Phantom Camp on our way to our next rapid class III Rainer Rapid.
Rainer starts off nice enough,some big wave trains to contend with but halfway through the size of the waves get HUGE! I shit you not there were atleast 10 foot high standing waves. A huge lateral wave came out of nowhere and slammed into me. It was the hardest I have ever been hit by a wave on the river, it didn't hurt but it was stunning. I've never been tackled by a linebacker but I imagine that's what the force feels like. I almost got flipped but threw out a brace long enough to keep myself upright. The run was pretty much down the center and with a little bit of left hand angle. All the way down this rapid you could hear the ladies hooting and hollering. Those were the biggest waves I've ever seen, including the New and Gauley in WV!
Next we approached class III Alder Creek Rapid. Alder is a new rapid formed during the extremely high snowmelt in May 2011, and also the big rain storms to hit the area in June and July of 2011, its so new its not even in the guidebook! We got out to scout the rapid. Looking down river the current funneled into a giant V with a big hole on river right and several other smaller holes to the left. We looked at it for awhile and then it was time to run it. We were following the tongue and heading left of center and threading our way through the various holes. I don't know what happened but we had quite the shit-show! Everyone swam but Anna, Mary Frances and our guides! There were boats, paddles, people, water bottle everywhere. It was hilarious!
Once everyone was back in their boats we continued down river and passed Fawn Creek Camp, Upper Lantz Bar Camp, and Lower Lantz Camp before coming upon class II+ Lantz Rapid. Lantz is a backwards S shaped rapid and the river tries to slam you into the right hand bank. Overall it wasn't very difficult you just needed to pay attention to what the current was doing.
We passed Tag Creek Camp, Disappointment Creek Trail, and Dwyer Creek Trail before coming to class III- Devil's Tooth Rapid. Devil's Tooth was the most technical rapid we hit so far. There were large rocks jutting out of the river pretty much across the entire river, I guess that's where the reference to teeth comes into play. We ran left of center, just left of the biggest rock in the river and made it through fine. We pulled an eddy on river left just below the rapid to find out this would be our camp for the night.
We got out of kayaks, pulled them high enough up on shore,incase the water level rose over night we didn't want any to float away
As we were setting up our tents and changing our guides had pulled out camp chairs, set up two tables and were starting to cook over a fire. They told happy hour was ready. We had some beers and appetizers and sat around getting to know each other before dinner. All of the ladies were really nice. The ages ranged from teenagers to early 60s. Most of us came from the east coast, PA and VA, there were also some ladies from the southeast NC and AL and one from the west coast.
Our dinner was salmon, a salad, wild rice and bread and brownies for dessert. It was amazing what they could make out on the middle of the wilderness with just some cookware and a fire. Everything was very fresh, delicious and healthy. We sat around the fire talking for the rest of the night before heading off to bed.

County looks into costs to clean ditch
Cass County Correspondent
Quotes Cass County received to prepare a plan (not including any costs for engineering work or wetland mitigation to be done) for a complete cleaning of Ditch 9 southwest of Pine River and northwest of Jenkins would cost $24,000 to $31,000 just for the plan, the Cass County Board learned Aug. 6.
The plan would establish the original ditch location and grade and estimate costs to engineer restoring it.
Auditor-Treasurer Sharon Anderson told the board she would meet with those along the ditch who first sought help with flooding from the backed up ditch to see whether they would be interested in first paying to remove beavers and beaver dams to see how much that would help before proceeding with a more costly plan.
If the board decided a full ditch cleaning would be done later, it would be assessed against all properties originally assessed.
The farmland drainage ditch is four miles long and was built in 1918. It is in Wilson Township. It is believed it has not been cleaned since it was installed.
Also on Aug. 6, Ryan Mills Landscaping offered the lowest of four bids and received a contract at $1,545 to landscape around the expanded parking lot at the land department building in Backus.
The Woodshed of Hackensack will provide two custom cabinet units for the land department building after offering the lower of two bids at $3,900.
Veterans Services Officer (VSO) Jeff Woodford introduced the new assistant VSO, Stephen Sether, to the board.
Woodford reported the VSO officers saw 45 veterans at the Backus office, two at Pillager, three at Cass Lake and eight in Walker in July. The officers also made seven home visits. They received 26 calls at Walker and 165 at Backus.
In addition to receiving federal veteran benefits, the Cass officers attempt to make veterans aware of state benefits for dental, optical and other services. In July, Cass has the highest payments to veterans from the state program after Hennepin and Ramsey counties, Woodford said.

|Cut-down day for the Bruins
|10.07.08 at 12:21 pm ET
The days leading up to the regular season are always a difficult time mixed with happiness and melancholy in the world of an NHL team, and the past several weeks have been more so for the Black and Gold given their depth situation. The Bruins haven't boasted a team this deep or talented since prior to the NHL lockout, and the new salary cap wrinkle with regard to rookie bonus money has complIcated matters.
The emergence of 22-year-old rookie Blake Wheeler made it imperative that Bruins General Manager Peter Chiarelli clear room for the $2.85 million cap hit that Wheeler's contract carries due to the rookie bonus money built into his deal. With that move in mind, forward Peter Schaefer ($2.1 million), Jeremy Reich ($487,500) and Nate Thompson ($500K) were all placed on waivers and young blueliner Matt Hunwick ($750K) was assigned to the Providence Bruins. It's hard to imagine Thompson and Reich clearing through waivers given their hockey value and the affordable price tags that go along with them.
Chiarelli dilligently attempted to jettison Schaefer during the last few weeks of training camp, but Schaefer's salary combined with last season's underperformance (9 goals, 17 assists and countless DNP-CD's in 63 games after notching 50 points and 46 respectively over the previous two seasons with the Ottawa Senators) left the Bruins GM without much a market. Give credit to both Chiarelli for essentially admitting that the signing of Schaefer turned out to be a free agent mistake, and to owner Jeremy Jacobs for agreeing to potentially swallow the entirety of Schaefer's $2.1 million deal should he go unclaimed. It was obvious to everyone that Claude Julien wanted Big Wheeler on his roster from jump street, and both Chiarelli and Jacobs made difficult, appropriate decisions to make it happen.
According to an excellent site on NHL Salary Caps called Hockey Buzz the Bruins are now only $242,501 under the $56.7 million salary cap for the 2008-09 season, so expect another move potentially involving Andrew Ference,P.J. Axelsson or Andrew Alberts. Both defenseman and Axe would draw interest around the league and each is being paid in excess of $1 million — a sum that would give Chiarelli the room he's looking for under the cap. I spoke with Alberts about recently hearing his name in trade rumors with both Vancouver and Chicago, and I'll have a little something up on the blog about that in two shakes of a hockey stick.
In the meantime, here's some thoughts from Chiarelli earlier this afternoon while addressing the B's media corps about the roster moves:
PC: So we've made some roster moves to get us down to 23 on our roster. We've released Peter Schaefer and he's on waivers today, and he'll be designated for reassignment pending whether he's claimed or not. We've put Jeremy Reich on waivers, so we'll see if he clears in another 24 hours. Nate Thompson and Matt Hunwick. Nate will go on waivers too for 24 hours too, and Matt is a pure assignment with no waivers.
Was that a difficult decision with Schaefer or was that something that was pretty cut-and-dried? PC: Yeah, it was difficult. I have had a history with him in Ottawa and I brought him in here, but it wasn't working out. I know he's a good player and these things happen. We talked yesterday and we had a good talk. He may end up in another NHL city or he may end up in Providence.
Was there a lot of dissapointment on his end when you talked to him? PC: He's been around the league for a while and I think he knew what was coming especially given the play of Blake Wheeler. He pretty much expected it is what he told me. He was disappointed that it didn't work out here.
Was there a lot of trade feelers put out there before it came to this? PC: Oh yeah. It's tough now. What happens is right now you're looking at the roster and generally you're really happy about it because you see all these competitions where somebody wins and somebody loses. So it's tough now moving guys. But that changes in a week to a month when teams start not playing well.
Would you be open to using him on re-entry or is that not an option? PC: That's something that down the road we might look at, but right now no. I need all the cap space I can get.
Did he have any insight as to why things didn't work out with him here? PC: Yeah, but that will remain private. If you catch up with him he may say it, but I'm not going to talk for him.
So with these moves how much room do you have under the salary cap? PC: We're still pretty tight. This may not be our final roster. There may be one more move before we leave tomorrow, but we'll see how the rest of the day plays out.
Can you give us any indication as to what that move might be? PC: Ummm no. Not yet.
From the standpoint of depth within the organization, can you be hurt if somehow they all get claimed? PC: It speaks to two things: One that we've had all these difficult decisions and in my years here we haven't had those kinds of difficult decisions, so it means that we have depth. We have teams calling about these players. Organizationally we're in a good spot. But if we lose these players then our depth gets tested. But we have had some good perfromances in camp by guys that we've already released and sent down that I'd be comfortable with in certain instances.
Speak to how the loss of the bonus cushion has affected your decision-making? PC: Well it certainly has, but those are the rules we're playing with this year. It might have saved a job or two, but I look at it like you've got to ice the best team possible. That's how I look at it.
Speaking of Blake, preseason is obviously a very short window but do you feel like he's good enough to be with this team over the long haul? PC: We still may have one more move, but Blake has made the team. We're going to take it slowly. I liken it to Looch a little bit last year, but he's a couple of years older. I want him to continue working hard and continue practicing hard and see a progression. The level of play really picks up now, so we'll see how he does.
Did going through the development of Lucic last year help you trust your judgement a little more with Wheeler this year? PC: A little bit, but there's a three-year age difference and that's big at this point. What it does speak to is the coaching staff and their ability to help develop these young guys.
Is Wheeler making the team more or a surprise than Lucic last year? PC: Don't forget that Blake was the fifth pick overall during his draft year, so he comes with a pretty thick resume. I guess as a third party you woud look down at this and expect him to make it rather than Lucic, with all things being equal.
How do you see the goaltending heading into the season? PC: I'm happy where they're at. They both had good camps. Our objective was to have a strong duo and I think that's what we're getting.
Do you think in this day and age that any NHL team needs two goaltenders to get through a season? PC: I think it certainly helps. You can see the wear and tear with a couple of goalies that played a ton of games and you could see it impacted their playoff performance. So it definitely helps.

Missouri Department of Transportation plans changes to dangerous intersection
CALLAWAY COUNTY, Mo. - The Missouri Department of Transportation has proposed a project to improve the intersection at Highway 54 and Callaway County Route FF/Old Highway 40.
This area is known for its high number of crashes and has heavy traffic from North Callaway High School.
A new roadway will be constructed to the east of Highway 54 that connects County Road 148 to Old Highway 40. The existing connection of County Road 148 to Highway 54 will be removed.
An acceleration lane will also be constructed just north of the existing Highway 54 and County Road 48 connection to allow eastbound traffic onto Highway 54 from the county road.
The project is scheduled to begin in May 2014 and should be completed prior to the 2014-15 school year.
MoDOT is holding an open house briefing Tuesday from 4 to 6 p.m. at North Callaway High School.

quote:I think it's also trying to get previous customers to come back.
It is a nice gesture for the customers,
Perhaps, or they could be embedding code to track usage data, etc... on all customers?
It is a nice gesture for the customers, I am content with simply ripping the songs off of the cds as I currently do, and backing them up to an external drive.

Miami's Coolest New Concept: An Upscale Hostel
Freehand Miami • Miami Beach, FL
Escape Kit
- A One-Night Stay for One in a Dorm Bed ($24)
- Or, a One-Night Stay for Two in a Private Standard King Room ($109)
- Or, a One-Night Stay for Up to Four in a Private Quad Room ($99)
- One Welcome Drink Per Guest at The Broken Shaker Cocktail Bar
Overly bronzed, bikini-clad beach babes are quick to fill the neon-lit hotels along Miami's strip, seeking out the nightlife and loud music that gives Miami a bad rap. But don't forget that this is the destination of one of the premier modern-art exhibitions in the world—Art Basel—some of the greatest Art Deco and doo-wop architecture, and a happening performing arts scene.
If your style skews more to sleek chevrons and polygons in pastel, you'll find equanimity while staying at the Freehand Miami. In anticipation of its recent opening, The New York Times' T Magazine said it "may be Miami Beach's most unlikely scenester hideaway," while Curbed Miami referred to it as "the communal-living place for unmoneyed cool people."
The 1930s building—formerly the Indian Creek Hotel—is an example of Art Deco fabulousness, offering both private and shared accommodations with a dash of bohemian style just a block from the beach. "Think seaside boathouse, lifeguard school, a homemade summer camp near the ocean," says Robin Standefer of Roman and Williams (the same design firm that outfitted NYC's Ace Hotel).
In addition to a pool and tropical courtyard, the Freehand offers a host of off-kilter amenities including bikes and a rooftop garden—and even the locals are anticipating the return of The Broken Shaker cocktail bar, featuring creative concoctions with herbs from the garden and other unusual elixirs and infusions. Seeking a list of Miami must-dos from those in the know? The Freehand offers that, too.
"At South Beach's swank new hostel (you read that right) the Freehand—from the owners of NYC hot spot the NoMad Hotel—the budget-minded can nab bunk beds in color-blocked, four-person rooms, and sip Dr-Pepper-reduction-imbued drinks at The Broken Shaker."-- Condé Nast Traveler

Sparks, NV here. Just 8 hours from Las Vegas (9 or 10 when you follow the speed limit) -- when we get out-of-town visitors, they often ask about taking a quick tour of The Strip :^)
I just replied to another guy in Tonopah in the "Southwest" Regional forum. Nevada's more Pacific than Southwest, but we ought to have our own group with Idaho, Utah, Wyoming, and Montana (Mountain West?). Pay no attention to my thinking out loud...
Instead of starting a new thread. I will just add to this one.
I'm in Henderson, NV. Just south of the strip. Any other members here from the Henderson, Vegas, Pahrump area?
Also, there is a weekly car show i go to on Sat mornings called Cars and Coffee. You will usually find me and my Son there. Anyone interested in going?
henderson here also
Hey NV, can you add Oregon to your Idaho, Montana, Nevada region? I've spent more time in Nv. than I've spent exploring Oregon. Besides, we don't want to be associated with Kalifornika up here, we'd much rather be tied to you. ha ha ha
hey i'd be interested in checking out that car show where is it located?

And it was totally stupid for her to lose it like that, because she's the only one who can actually use her bankai under current conditions - just do it in "unhonorary" way from long distance. (unless there's someone else with Long Range bankai) And then move in with shikai against a weakened opponent (if it won't die from that kind of blast).
I somehow doubt those Quincies can steal bankais from a mile away, especially if they don't know what's coming. Basically, her bankai is ideal in the situation they found themselves in.

The blast strength would prevent enemy from evading damage. A captain of SpecOps like Soifon should have some basic understanding on the strategy and possible uses for that kind of weapon in the situation they found themselves in (oh, who am I kidding here....)
Kinda stupid to lose the only bankai (that we know about) that can be used outside of enemy reach, with emphasis on one hit kill out.

hilarious chapter! Hirako, Mayuri and Renji provided great entertainment until things got serious again with Captain Kyouraku yooo hooo yaaaarrrrr
ok I will try to rate some of the Captains' situation..
Komamura - he can rely on his physical strenght for a while, but I can only see him dodging around.. he is neither fast nor has he ever showed any skill in kidou
Byakuya - is probably going to land a few hits by kidou/shunpo-combos with the aid of Renji acting as a pawn
Soifon - doesn't look too bad here: shunpo, kidou, hakuda and last but not least she could try to use some shunko if everything else fails
Hitsugaya - please just die lol, sorry I'm biased
Kyouraku - I expect my favourite character to die soon
Ukitake - he's just too nice to die, somebody will help him out for sure(Yoruichi?)
Mayuri - be prepared for some trolololo by Ishida when, this time, he saves his ass
Hirako, Rose and Kensei can always turn to their masks I guess and perhaps the bankaigrabber is useless when it comes to Vizards?
I'm fairly confident when it comes to Yamamoto(also I've come to terms with the fact we are never ever going to see his bankai..), Kenpachi and Unohana - but that's certainly not enough to fend off this many top tier opponents.

Kubo: I know! I will have the bankis we do know be stolen so then everybody else (save Renji because lol) won't want to release their own. That way, I never have to come up with a design for them! Phew, dodged that bullet.
The captains who weren't stupid enough to release their bankis may do well, at least for a bit.
Just hoping Hitsugaya finally bites the dust. I have nothing against him, but he has been used up in terms of development. Komo as well, nothing against him, he just serves no purpose anymore (not that he really ever did, but at least when his helmet was still on we could wonder what kind of person he was, or later on what his possible reunion with tousen would look like, which I try to erase the latter part from my brain anyway -_- ).

Kenpachi's look is quite funny when he hears the message not to use bankai...he is like...wtf is bankai?? XD
It should be a chance for Kenpachi to shine...but since our hero is ichigo..I am afraid the bad guy will have another cheap trick just for Kenpachi...

Unohana's comment should be noted too. She mentioned that all the reitsu reported stolen was true except for 10th division, meaning hitsugaya. This could mean that since his Bankai still isnt fully developed, the opponents can't steal it/havent stealen if despite him thinking so.

^ Or whoever was assigned to take Hitsugaya's Bankai was frozen by its reiatsu. Although is it possible for reiatsu to carry a particular element? (If this is possible, then whoever tries to steal Genryusai's Bankai will be burnt to a crisp on the spot.)
