FEATURE - Rural Indiana Town Sees Power, Renewal in Pig Manure
Date: 16-Oct-06
Country: US
Author: Nick Carey
"They all did well, too," said the 75-year-old town councilor, who has lived here all his life. "But now we only have one left."
Like many rural communities across the Midwest, Reynolds -- surrounded by hog farms and corn and soy fields -- has seen its fortunes decline in the past few decades, as residents drifted to cities in search of jobs.
Now local officials see hope in a project aimed at providing power using renewable resources -- primarily millions of gallons of pig manure.
Against a backdrop of rising energy prices and a growing national debate about fuel and energy sources, Reynolds -- population 547 in the 2000 Census -- was chosen by the state of Indiana last year as the site of a project dubbed BioTown.
The first step was to promote E85 -- 85 percent ethanol, 15 percent gasoline. The town's only gas station, run by BP Plc., installed an E85 pump at the end of September.
The next is to take Reynolds off the conventional power grid.
Touring an 8,000-pig farm, Jody Snodgrass of Rose Energy Discovery Inc. notes that a pig can produce 7 gallons of waste a day. By law, farmers here must have 520 days worth of waste storage because there are so few days when the weather is right for spreading it on fields.
The result is huge stinking cesspits that the pork industry daintily refers to as lagoons.
"These buildings sit on colossal tanks full of manure," he said. "If we can turn it into power, these farmers won't need so much storage space."
Rose Energy, based in Advance, Indiana, is investing US$7 million on three types of technology to turn pig manure into power in Reynolds.
The main one is anaerobic digestion, where pig manure is mixed with waste like leftover food and straw. As it decomposes it produces methane, which is burned to generate electricity.
Rose Energy will begin construction work on the digester in 2007 and it will go into operation in mid-2008.
The byproducts from the process are a natural fertilizer, plus carbon dioxide when the methane is burned. The other two technologies are manure gasification, where the manure is heated to produce methane and fast pyrolysis, where it is heated to produce a liquid fuel.
Snodgrass says his "technology suite" will produce 3.2 megawatts of power. Reynolds uses 1.2 megawatts, rising to a peak of 1.9 megawatts on hot summer days when the town's residents have their air conditioning running. Rose Energy will sell the excess energy to reduce local bills.
He said his backers are watching closely to see if the project can make a profit and be replicated elsewhere in the United States.
Although Indiana backs BioTown, officials say they want funding for the power project to come from the private sector to make it financially viable.
"BioTown must be able to survive in the marketplace without government intervention," said Ryan West, the Indiana State Department of Agriculture manager coordinating the project.
Environmentalists say they are pleased Indiana is trying to raise awareness of renewable fuels, but are disappointed BioTown is restricted to one small community.
"When we have a BioState, then I will be truly impressed," said Nathaniel Green, a biofuels expert with environmental group Natural Resources Defense Council in Washington, D.C.
Rising oil and natural gas prices in the past few years have focused US consumer and investor attention on projects like BioTown that seek to produce energy using renewable resources and reduce US reliance on foreign oil.
"When you have US$3-a-gallon gas, many things become feasible," he said.
Tony Snyder, 66, a local farmer is selling US$100,000 worth of corn stover -- leftover stalks after corn is harvested -- to Rose Energy for its anaerobic digester. "It will be good if (BioTown) saves folks money and helps others make some," Snyder said.
Snodgrass said several companies are looking to set up shop in Re

This is a phenomenal week to be covering the publishing industry. Tuesday, Apple released its quarterly earnings. Big surprise, another record-breaking quarter for the folks in Cupertino. A few billion here, a few billion there, blah, blah. How amazing is it that we're not really surprised by such overperformance in an otherwise still-troubling economic environment? Of great interest to me, the eReader guy, was the final iPad tally for the quarter ending June 26th: 3.27 million units worldwide. Still no good guidance on what the US split is, but no matter how you slice it, iPads are hot. (And, no, I still have not bought one, still holding out for iPad 2.0).
And if you follow the implications of that success, as many in the media have, Amazon should just concede the eReader business, pack up its cream-colored Kindle and go home, right?
Wrong. And to prove it, Amazon made a point of announcing some news of its own, the day before Apple's results were public. Amazon flaunted its own success in selling both Kindle devices and eBooks. That's right, despite that iPad upstart, the Kindle is still flying off the shelves, selling more units each month than the month before it all through Q2, when the iPad challenger was supposedly pummeling it. And it's dominating the eBook business as well, selling as much as eight in ten of the eBooks of major bestsellers, seeing its eBook sales rate triple over last year. Oh, and Amazon indicated it sells 1.8 eBooks for every hardback book it sells. That's right, even though it discounts hardbacks to paperback prices for many bestsellers.

Round 1 goes to Apple. The iPad, as expected, has caused a big stir and gave people like Walt Mossberg reason to gush with enthusiasm about the death of laptops.
Throughout, as various members of the press have mused about the death of Amazon's Kindle, I feel compelled to point out that, contrary to popular belief, Amazon is in a better position now than it was before the iPad. That's right, if Amazon comes out swinging, Round 2 will go to Amazon. Here's why:

Yesterday saw the city's canals motorboat-free for the first time ever, in an attempt to stop the city crumbling
The one-day ban, which lasted from 10am until 3pm, was an attempt to highlight the city's environmental problems. Banning motorised vessels from Venice's canals is part of a larger attempt to halt the eroding and sinking of the world-famous city. Man-powered gondolas were immune from the ban.
A representative from Italia Nostra, an association working to preserve the city, said: "We hope it'll make Venetians more aware of how lovely the city could be if we insist on boats only with electric power."
Campaigners believe that two-stroke marine engines, which produce large volumes of fumes, are the cause of some of Venice's problems. The acid from this pollution is thought to be speeding up the erosion of the city's medieval structures. These structures are also reportedly slowly sinking into the lagoons, something worsened by the large number of vessels moving around the canals, causing constant currents and waves lapping at the buildings' foundations.
Currently, there are around 7,000 small craft registered to traverse Venice's waterways. Eventually, officials would like to see a switch to electric-powered or man-powered vessels.
What do you think? Would electric vessels and man-powered gondolas make for a more peaceful (and protective) atmosphere? Or would Venice lose some of its charm? Post your comments below.

Weekend bans sound good, however all the essential city services are carried out by motorboats. Maybe it would be better off, in which case it would have to become an open-air museum. More on that and life in Venice: http://www.escapefromamerica.com/2013/04/a-venetian's-venice-looking-back-at-my-expat-life-in-italy/
15th April
From a conservation and tourist's perspective, 'no motorboats' is definitely the way forward. But how do you do this when, as Deia pointed out, the residents (and the tourists!) rely on motorboats for rubbish disposal, deliveries and emergency services? Timed access? Incentives to switch to electric boats (there's something wrong with electric boats in water)? Helicopter drops for deliveries?
17th April
Anything that can be done to protect the city must be done. Venice would be more charming not less. Were electric vehicles impractical for emergency vehicles (speed of response?) they could possibly be exempt

Duplin residents react to effects of winter storm
BEULAVILLE, DUPLIN COUNTY - It's been several days since the winter storm hit Eastern Carolina, but we're still feeling its effects.
But there is one bright side, literally. The sun shined all day Friday, helping melt the ice and snow that's built up on the roads.
It makes it easier for those like Maureen Buchala to shovel their driveways.
"I had enough of this growing up," Buchala, of Beulaville, joked. "I'm glad to be outside. I see everything's going away."
She's seeing the sun -- and her neighborhood street -- for the first time in days.
"We've salted the main roads, but not these secondary roads," Buchala said. "We don't plow anything here [in the neighborhood] so you're stuck. Finally, it's melting out here on these smaller streets."
Police Chief Joey Carter is pleased with how quickly the department of transportation crews cleared the main roads like Highway 24. But the town is still waiting for plows to come through to clear those secondary roads. Overall, the storm wasn't as bad as Carter thought.
"If any good came out of this storm, we never lost power," Carter said. "I'm not worrying about people who may be without heat. That's a relief to all of us."
Buchala, too, is thankful to have had power after being cooped up in her home.
"But it's boring," she laughed.
But at least she had her parrot Long-John to keep her company -- who's also happy to soak up the sun.
Residents hope that with the warmer weather coming this weekend, the remaining ice and snow will melt away.

I'm Dominique Guillen and I work with Community Health, the public health division of Wardenburg. During our fall semester we partnered with Beforeplay to kick start our Let's Talk Sex campaign.
This semester we are continuing our Let's Talk Sex campaign, which includes giving out condoms, ChapStick, gum, T-shirts, boxers, posters, bookmarks, stickers and buttons to promote sexual communication. We have all kinds of stuff at our office in UMC 411, and we can come to events or do presentations.
I think I always thought it was important for people to know and be able to communicate about sex. Definitely getting more knowledge has helped me feel that I can be a real resource for people. Beforeplay emphasizes sexual communication in their slogan "Just Talk About It."
I really enjoy being able to provide students with ways of communicating about sex and normalizing talking about sex through our sexual communication timeline and our photo kiosks. One of my favorite resources is Get Talking. This provides lots of examples on how to talk to parents, friends, partners and health providers about topics regarding sexual health.
Beforeplay is a Colorado Department of Public Health campaign aimed at normalizing the conversation around sexual health and well-being, so people can communicate about sex better. They also recently launched a text line (TEXT b4play TO 57890). The text line is an anonymous way to ask sexual health questions and get a response within 24 to 48 hours.

As far as the CNC and sponsorship issues go I think that its great that people are using the latest technology to create innovative and often otherwise unachievable builds. The only downside is that small mods and new modders may be put off sharing their work as it is easy to develop an inferiority complex regarding your own work when surrounded by creative brilliance. For me it has proved both inspiring and frustrating. My original ideas have evolved from seeing what others have done but are now pushing, and often exceeding, my fabrication capabilities - which has resulted in my build being neglected over the last few months. I don't think anything can really be done to improve this situation though as adding a tiered build and award system would reduce the exposure of smaller projects rather than boost it.
Sponsorship is another good thing in my opinion. Allows builders to spend the money that they would otherwise be investing in components on materials and mods. Also shows that the sponsors themselves are maintaining interest in modding which is good for all of us.

P.s. I think all these builds are fantastic, each for there own reasons. Regardless of how they were made, you've still got to have the vision to design it, the drive to make it and skill to use that machinery and put these amazing machines together. Take revelation for instance. Let me loose in that workshop and i'd ruin a whole heap of wood and have no arms faster than you can say 'pass me the junior hacksaw'.

This literally does nothing to my lashes...pretty much a waste of time to apply this! No volume or length and it made my lashes fall down so it cant even hold a curl (which is very weird considering its w/p and usually only w/p mascara hold curls in my lashes...). I'll be returning this...

Ugh... I bought this on sale to see how it would compare to the original lashblast waterproof. It absolutely doesn't. It applies well enough, and is a bit more water resistant than normal mascara, but it is so FLAKY! Seriously, three hours after application, my cheeks were covered in little speckles that smeared when I tried to wipe them off. Definitely not repurchasing.

This is a good mascara if you want a natural look that holds up. It applied easily and didn't make my lashes clump. I wore it all day and night to a wedding and It didn't flake or run when I got a little teary. It didn't irritate my eyes when I was wearing contact lenses. I found it easy to remove either with makeup remover or with a warm washcloth, and I didn't lose lashes in the process. The water resistant formula performed really well.
I was a little disappointed with the look of my lashes after using the product; I was hoping for more length and drama. This gave a more natural, darkened and defined effect. I will keep using this for daytime, but in future will try something else for evening.

I have used this mascara for over a year now and really like it and have repurchased it several times. I have tried several high end mascara but keep coming back to this one. Love the purple tube and though the applicator brush might be a bit large it works for me without any problems. The product itself has the right consistency being neither too wet or too dry. My lashes are quite short with a moderate amount of volume. This mascara does add a bit of length and a bit of volume giving my whimpy eyelashes some definition. As I always curl my lashes water resistant or waterproof mascara is a must to hold the curl. This is not waterproof but water resistant enough for my needs. It is also very black, which I like. I have never experienced any transfer or flaking with this. It removes easily with a product designed to remove waterproof mascara. It is pretty inexpensive and easily purchased at any place selling drug store cosmetics. I will definitely continue to purchase.

I recently became semi-hooked on Benefit's They're Real mascara, but 2 things stop me from buying it on a regular basis: 1) price and 2) it's WAY too hard to remove. I put in eye drops frequently so I need a waterproof mascara, but with Benefit, I was scrubbing off half my lashes every night.
This one is advertised as water-resistant, and it is definitely waterproof enough for my needs.
I was always intimidated by this type of rubbery, spikey mascara brush until I tried They're Real and saw the benefits (no pun intended). It does grab the lashes well.
This mascara goes on smoothly and has enough lengthening/thickening for me (I prefer a pretty natural look). One coat is enough--good news, as I hate applying mascara and like to get it over with.
The one thing that turns me completely off this mascara is the huge, swollen tube. Takes up unnecessary space in my makeup drawer, AND the slick material of the giant tube is hard to grip onto . . . I think you'd have to have massive man-hands to wield this successfully! It should either be smaller OR rubberized. The way it is, I'm constantly dropping it.
This was pretty good, but I'll keep looking for something better.

This is one of my favorite mascaras. I didn't care for the Last Blast waterproof (orange tube), but this one is a winner.
I really like that I can put on 2 quick coats and my lashes look good. It's not a really wet or dry formula - it's just right :)
This mascara adds definition, volume and a bit of length. It doesn't smudge or smear at all, and it holds a curl all day. It's easy to remove at night with a quick swipe of waterproof eyemakeup remover.
I will repurchase this one (and I haven't found another waterproof/resistant mascara that I would repurchase).

This is currently my go to mascara. Has been for about a year now. It separates my lashes quite well and is very easy for me to build up which I love, almost like I have fake lashes. The downside for me is I would like more volume. But honestly for the price I haven't been able to find much better. I've purchased "high end" brand mascaras and some have been absolutely terrible for a $35 tube of mascara! Overall I personally feel this has been a pretty good mascara, especially for the price.

Ugh, worst mascara EVER!!! The brush is hard and rubbery, the mascara is wet and heavy, it clumps, doesn't separate the lashes AT ALL and it doesn't hold a curl. The only good thing about it was that it was very black, the the color suggested. BTW, I have long, between thick and thin lashes that grow straight.

One of the worst mascaras I have ever purchased. Went on thick and clumpy. Water Resistant it is not, I bought it since I was going to a wedding & may tear up which I " slightly " did. I ended up with raccoon eyes & flaking. Never so embarrassed .
Btw.. The first review I have ever written in my life that's how angry I am!

2.5 Rating **.5 1st of all, the VERY Black is like grey / gray (I can't spell lol)...2nd of all, I've NO idea how this is even related to REG Lash Fusion which I quite liked. There's virtually no volume or length or color. An ok mascara at best. However, I did take the LB Volume (WP) brush/ wand & place it in this resistant one (as I seldom wear WP b/c I cannot stand removing it at ngt) & it makes a little bit of a difference. Won't re-purchase, use it as a layering mascara only now. Not black enough for my already black lashes & brown skin. My HG Carbon Black Voluminous is my 2nd layer (my top off layer) & that combo seems to work for me at least, so all is not lost.

SENSE and Bearbrick are no strangers to working together. The Medicom Toy-owned company have produced mouse mats and mini-sized Bearbrick phone straps as free gifts for the popular Japanese fashion magazine before. To help celebrate the new year they have decided to go that one step further and package a free 100% mastermind JAPAN x A Bathing Ape Bearbrick model with the February 2012 issue. Featuring a matte black base, both brand logos appear printed in gold on the front and back of the figure. The magazine is scheduled to hit the shelves in Japan on January 10 so keep and eye out for it in import and specialist book stores outside of Japan soon after.

The most recent acquisition is Small Society, a well-regarded app development agency that has created apps for Starbucks, Zipcar, and Amazon among others. In an announcement on the @WalmartLabs Blog, Walmart explained that they loved the talent of the Small Society team, especially what was described as their "laser focus" on product quality.
Of course mobile talent gets acquired all the time, but this is Walmart, a big-box retail store that has no traditional association with mobile development. This goes to show how important mobile is becoming to all forms of commerce. It will be interesting to see what sort of mobile experiences retail stores cook up in the not-so-distant future.

On Monday night, New England finishes off their three game divisional stretch with the 2-1 Miami Dolphins. In past years, the Patriots struggled to take their talents to South Beach and win. Quite frankly, they have struggled to win on the road at all. Over their last eight road games, New England is 1-7. After losing on the road to the Jets two weeks ago, the Patriots do not want to start 0-2 in road games with their divisional rivals.
Last week, the Patriots struggled against an opponent that they have usually dominated in the Buffalo Bills. The offense was in sync as Tom Brady threw for three touchdowns, two of them to Randy Moss, but it was the defense and special teams that were lacking. In the first three quarters, Buffalo was controlling the game on offense with their triple headed running attack of Fred Jackson, Marshawn Lynch, and C.J Spiller. Also, Ryan Fitzpatrick was able to get the ball downfield to Lee Evans and Steve Johnson on a consistent basis to take advantage of Darius Butler and Kyle Arrington at the cornerback position. Spiller also had a kickoff return for a touchdown in that third quarter. However, it was New England's running game that saved the day. A combination of Fred Taylor, Sammy Morris, Benjarvus Green-Ellis and Danny Woodhead ran for over 200 yards in a 38-30 victory.
As for the Miami Dolphins, they suffered their first defeat last Sunday night to the New York Jets 31-23. The defense allowed Mark Sanchez to throw for three touchdowns after allowing just 20 points in their first two games. Chad Henne threw for 363 yards in the loss, but he was finally able to establish a rhythm with wide receiver Brandon Marshall, who caught ten passes for 166 yards. True, the Jets did not have all-pro cornerback Darrelle Revis, but Antonio Cromartie is not a bad replacement for a cover corner and definitely a step above from what the Patriots' secondary has played like as of late. Tony Sparano knows how to coach defense and they have one of the most underrated signings of the offseason in Karlos Dansby at middle linebacker. Plus, you have to deal with Ricky Williams, Ronnie Brown, and the Wildcat.
Here are my keys to the game:
1. Marshall-Marshall-Marshall: With Brandon Marshall now in Miami, New England will now have to deal with him twice a year and with their secondary, it could be a nightmare Monday night. Last year, against veteran cornerback Shawn Springs, Marshall caught eight passes for 64 yards and two touchdowns. After Henne was able to connect frequently with him last Sunday, I think Bill Belichick should put Devin McCourty on Marshall for this game. Every Patriots' game so far, McCourty has been praised for his coverage skills. Let's see if the rookie cornerback out of Rutgers can do any better than Butler or Arrington. As a Patriot fan, you would rather have Davone Bess and Brian Hartline hurt you than the aforementioned Marshall.
2. Get the ball to the Tight Ends: In Miami's loss last week, they let Dustin Keller catch two touchdowns in the first half as well as allow nearly 100 yards receiving. This is the perfect situation for guys like Aaron Hernandez and Rob Gronkowski to get involved in the offense. Hernandez had six catches for 65 yards in the win last week and has been a downfield threat for New England in the early going. Wes Welker is an option as well considering he tends to dominate against his former team. But, Miami's pass defense was considered a liability coming into the season for allowing deep pass plays.
3. WILDCAT: Miami did not use much of the wildcat against the Jets, but New England still needs to prepare for the tricky wildcat system. As Patriots' fans sadly remember, in 2008, Miami racked up 461 yards in a 38-13 win at Foxborough where the system was first introduced. In order to force Chad Henne to beat them this week, New England has to do a much better job of stopping the run on Monday night than they were last week.
4. Stay Balanced: In the 38-30 win over Buffalo last week, New England was able for once to balance their amount of passing plays with the amount of rushing plays. In order for Brady to get the ball downfield, they need to keep the Miami defense honest. The running game can also help in the second half because in the last eight road games, the offense has struggled for New England. This includes the two interceptions Brady threw in the second half in the loss to the Jets two weeks ago.
Prediction: As previously mentioned, this game all boils down to can New England's secondary stop Brandon Marshall or at least contain the number of big plays that he has. Tom Brady is 3-5 in his career at Miami, but the Patriots' offense is expected to put up points and make this a shootout. If the Patriots can keep the defense on their heels with a balanced attack and can take the blows from Miami's offense for four quarters, they have a great chance to win this game. New England needs to respond in the second half which comes down to making the correct adjustments in a tough road environment. This game could come down to who has the ball last. But, I will take New England to hang on for a late victory, having won 6 of their last 7 Monday Night Football games.
Patriots 27 Dolphins 24

Every dairy farmer will remember August 2013. They will recall it no matter which dairy processor they supply.
It's the month when milk payout forecasts gave hope to debt-ridden, drought-stricken farmers and milk quality issues hit the industry. While money is just that - cash - finding unwanted things in milk is a greater issue as New Zealand's reputation as a safe food provider is put on the line.
Everyone is aware that the problems involved DCD, nitrates and the "botulinum" that wasn't. So, no need to expand on this.
The focus, instead, is on what Federated Farmers hopes the industry has learned, dealing with the issues: communication and co-ordination.
Communication is key when any issue arises and co-ordination is required as the whole of the industry is likely to be affected.
Another area where future difficulties lie is the increasing sensitivity of analysers which are used to test the composition of milk.
Dry run
For us, the DCD product recall in January was the dry run for Fonterra, a bit like the Louis Vuitton Cup was for Team New Zealand.
It was the opportunity to learn how to give clear messages to media and to learn what customers wanted to know.
It was also an ideal time to go over risk management plans regarding residues, plant hygiene and product recall.
Unfortunately, lessons were not learned in August. It was an opportunity lost, as Fonterra told media that there had been some microbiological contamination of a dairy commodity.
They were unprepared for the questions and therefore what the press and customers across the world very quickly heard was: New Zealand dairy products kill babies.
This conclusion brought the Government running, with Prime Minister John Key and ministers Tim Groser, Nathan Guy, Nikki Kaye, Steven Joyce and the Ministry for Primary Industries (MPI) manning the pumps as borders closed on our dairy products.
It even united Parliament for a short while. That's how big this poorly given, misunderstood communication was.
Get the message out
The Performance Juxtaposition site on the internet says that one of the barriers to communication is ourselves.
"Focusing on ourselves, rather than the other person can lead to confusion and conflict... Some of the factors that cause this are defensiveness (we feel someone is attacking us), superiority (we feel we know more than the other), and ego (we feel we are the centre of the activity)."
Fonterra needs to climb over this barrier and do better next time.
We are done complaining about the communication advice given to Fonterra, as the company employed to do this must offer something special to Fonterra's business - we're just not sure what.
Next time, we're hoping Fonterra remembers that media and consumers may not hear the same message that is given. It's this hearing of messages that is crucial.
Having a knowledgeable, articulate medical professional in the line-up at press conferences would help, given most of the issues faced can be perceived to be potential food safety ones.
All in together
The whole of New Zealand's dairy industry can be affected by dairy product recalls, and most were recently with product stalled at ports awaiting the outcome of Fonterra's investigation.
Their overseas customers lumped all New Zealand dairy products into the one holding pen, regardless of the firm. This has been very costly to these firms, for no fault of their own.
Further funding is now required to enable dairy firms to sort out their customer relationships. The Government is part-funding this, though why the New Zealand taxpayer has to foot this bill, instead of Fonterra, is bewildering.
Getting information on product risks out to the entire industry is vital and needs to be done early. The Federation thinks the latest problems showed that pan-industry differences can be put to the side as DCANZ, the lobby group for dairy processors, jumped on this bandwagon early.
Science running away
There is no denying that certain levels of residues and certain types of bacteria are dangerous to human health, but it seems ridiculous that something that requires 5000 stars to line up creates a food safety panic worldwide.
In the same week when the botulism saga occurred, there was a serious case of listeria contaminating raw milk - with serious consequences - in Melbourne. It did not even make the headlines.
Technological advancements mean that minute amounts of any substance can be detected in milk - but to what end? Should we be leading the world in testing all bags of product, to the nth degree? Should we be identifying all bacteria found?
Getting this right is important for all dairy producers worldwide, as we generally abide by the same rules.
The MPI, as regulators, are part of this worldwide rule-setting team and our experience this year will be of interest to all.
Product integrity (real or perceived) is paramount. The position New Zealand has rightfully claimed concerning food safety over the last few years is very high up the ladder.
Each party, from the farmer to the retailer, needs to develop proper protocols for adverse events, as each rung is part of this ladder. Fonterra is the biggest trader in world dairy product, so vigilance is needed as non-tariff barriers can be lucrative for foreign countries or operators.
Reviews are being carried out by MPI, Fonterra and the Government. The Federation looks forward to their outcomes.
Dairy Dairy
For most dairy farmers, mating is now on the agenda.
*Check the TB status of all bulls coming onto the farm, before they arrive. TBfree will TB test for free.
*Theileria and bulls: On arrival, quarantine service bulls and any new stock for at least seven days. Observe for signs of ticks and anaemia.
*Treat for ticks as necessary.
*Check the tick status of bull supplier's and grazier's farms.
Time off for all
*Sort out staff cover for the Christmas holidays.
*Write clear instructions for those running the farm while you are away.
*Re-do your budget to bring it in line with forecast weather conditions and payout forecast.
*Settle and sign that contract.
*Enter the NZDIA competition - or get your sharemilker and staff to.
*Take time out - you have earned it!

BATON ROUGE — For the third consecutive game, LSU sent nine batters to the plate in the opening inning as the Tigers posted a 16-2 victory over Southern University Wednesday night at Alex Box Stadium.
The 16 runs were a season high for the Tigers (32-2), who extended their winning streak to 14 games and 27 of their last 28 games.
"I was pleased that we got all of our position players into the game tonight and everyone was able to make a contribution," LSU coach Paul Mainieri said.
LSU freshman Alex Bregman extended his hitting streak to 22 games the same night he was invited to play for Team USA.
Mason Katz drove in his NCAA-leading 60th RBI of the season for the Tigers, who scored seven runs in the fourth inning highlighted by Christian Ibarra's three-run double.
Hunter Devall (3-0) earned the victory in his first career start, allowing one run on one hit in two innings of work.
Starter Zephan Rochelle (1-2) suffered the loss for Southern (12-14), allowing seven runs on nine hits with one walk and one strikeout in three innings.

With five Big Ten matches to play, the No. 12-ranked University of Michigan women's soccer team (10-2-1, 4-1-1 Big Ten) returns to U-M Soccer Stadium for the first time in three weeks, hosting Indiana (10-3-1, 3-3-0 Big Ten) on Friday (Oct. 18) at 7 p.m. and Purdue (8-5-1, 3-3-0 Big Ten) on Sunday (Oct. 20) at 3 p.m. Sunday's match will be streamed online via the Big Ten Digital Network.
Sunday is Michigan's annual pink match, as the team will don various pink attire in support of Breast Cancer Awareness Month. Additionally, all ticket holders for the match can come early and watch, for free, men's soccer take on Wisconsin starting at noon; players will be available for postgame autographs as well.
Sunday's match against Purdue is the team's annual Pink Game, designed to increase breast cancer awareness. The team will wear pink shorts in the contest. The first 250 fans in attendance will receive a pink rally towel. The M-Den will also be on hand to sell pink merchandise.
Additionally, the match will follow the men's soccer match vs. Wisconsin, which is slated to begin at noon. General admission tickets bought for the women's match will be valid for the men's match. Players will be available for postgame autographs as well
The first 500 fans in attendance to Friday's game receive Michigan Soccer Thundersticks.
Michigan is second in the Big Ten (4-1-1, 13 points), trailing only Nebraska (5-1-0, 15 points). Last Sunday's win over Penn State vaulted the Wolverines ahead of the Nittany Lions in the standings, as Penn State currently sits in third (4-2-0, 12 points). Michigan's five remaining Big Ten matches are against Indiana (3-3-0), Purdue (3-3-0), Illinois (2-3-1), Northwestern (1-5-0) and Ohio State (2-2-2).
Michigan jumped seven spots up to No. 12 in this week's NSCAA/Continental Tire rankings, released on Tuesday (Oct. 15). The Wolverines are also ranked No. 10 in the fourth edition of the RPI, released on Monday. [ Rankings | RPI ]
The Wolverines rank first in the Big Ten in goals allowed (eight) and goals-against average (0.60), tied for third in shutouts (five) and last in saves (39). Of the 321 teams in the national ranks, the Wolverines are 18th in won-loss-tied percentage (.808), 23rd in goals-against average and 57th in save percentage.
A trio of players earned weekly honors for their efforts in helping Michigan defeat Penn State last Sunday. Freshman Taylor Bucklin was named Big Ten Defensive Player & Co-Freshman of the Week, senior Tori McCombs was named to TopDrawerSoccer.com's Women's Team of the Week and senior/junior Keyana Thompson-Shaw was named to CS360.com's Primetime Performers of the Week Honor Roll. [ Releases: Bucklin | McCombs | Thompson-Shaw ]
The Wolverines have beaten four ranked teams in the same season for the first time in program history (4-0-1: San Diego State, Pepperdine, Nebraska, Penn State). Last Sunday's victory over No. 11 Penn State was the program's first victory over a team ranked No. 11 or higher since Sept. 19, 2004, against No. 11 Illinois.
Since losing its first road match of the season on Sept. 15 at Butler, U-M has won four consecutive road matches, all against Big Ten opponents (Iowa, Michigan State, Nebraska, Penn State). The last time U-M won its first four conference road matches was 2004.
Nkem Ezurike needs three goals to become the all-time scoring leader, currently held by Kacy Beitel (44, 1997-00). Ezurike is also the fourth member of the 100-point club at Michigan and is fourth all-time in career points (101), a record currently held by Abby Crumpton (116, 1999-02).
1. Abby Crumpton (1999-02) -- 116 (43 G, 30 A)
2. Kacy Beitel (1997-00) -- 114 (44 G, 26 A)
3. Amber Berendowsky (1996-99) -- 113 (40 G, 33 A)
4. Nkem Ezurike (2010-Present) -- 101 (42 G, 17 A)
1. Kacy Beitel (1997-00) -- 44
2. Abby Crumpton (1999-02) -- 43
3. Nkem Ezurike (2010-Present) -- 42
4. Amber Berendowsky (1996-99) -- 40
Twelve different players have recorded at least one goal this season (last: Tori McCombs at Penn State) and 16 different players -- more than half the roster -- have recorded at least one point.
The Wolverines are 5-2 in matches decided by one goal this season. Last Sunday's win over Penn State was the team's first 1-0 victory this season. Michigan had scored more than one goal in each of its nine other victories. On the defensive side, U-M has not allowed more than one goal in any match this season.
Senior/junior Keyana Thompson-Shaw made her first start of the season (and second appearance) in last Sunday's win at Penn State, playing the full 90 minutes on defense. She has played in 11 career matches and made five starts, three of those coming against Penn State.
Seniors Nkem Ezurike and Shelina Zadorsky have had success against the Hoosiers and Boilermakers. Ezurike has scored six total goals against both opponents (four against Purdue, two against Indiana), while Zadorsky has two career goals against Indiana, scoring one in each of the last two meetings. In 2011 against Purdue, Ezurike recorded the seventh hat trick in program history.

The Hoosiers are 10-3-1 on the season and 3-3-0 in the Big Ten. Indiana comes into Friday's match having lost to Iowa, 2-1, at home last Saturday (Oct. 12). The Hoosiers are 2-2-1 on the road this season but are 0-2-1 in their last three matches away from Bloomington. Four players have recorded double-digit points for Indiana, which is led by senior Lisa Nouanesengsy, who tops the team in goals (eight) and points (19). Other offensive weapons include Kayleigh Steigerwalt (4 G, 5 A), Abby Smith (4 G, 4 A) and Rebecca Candler (3 G, 6 A). Goalkeeper Shannon Flower has recorded seven shutouts and a goals-against average of 0.97. The Hoosiers are coached by Amy Berbary, who is in her first season.
Series: Michigan is 13-4-3 all-time against Indiana and owns a four-match unbeaten streak (3-0-1) against the Hoosiers. Indiana's last victory in the series came in 2008 (1-0 in Bloomington). The Wolverines have not conceded a goal to the Hoosiers since 2010, a 2-1 victory in Bloomington. The two teams met in Ann Arbor last season, with Michigan winning, 3-0.
The Boilermakers are 8-5-1 on the season and 3-3-0 in the Big Ten. Purdue comes into Sunday's match having won three of its last four matches (all by a 1-0 margin over Ohio State, Illinois and Northwestern) but losing its most-recent match, 4-0, to Nebraska, last Friday (Oct. 11). The Boilermakers play at Michigan State on Friday before traveling to Ann Arbor. Purdue has scored 31 goals on the season (tied for third best in the Big Ten) but has also given up 30 goals (worst in the Big Ten). Offensively, the Boilermakers have one of the conference's top freshmen in Maddy Williams, who leads in the team in goals (nine), assists (six) and points (24). Alex Hairston (6 G, 8 A), Hadley Stuart (5 G, 9 A) and Jordan Pawlik (3 G, 5 A) also have double-digit point totals. Purdue has shuffled goalkeepers, but Clara Kridler has seen most of the action, posting 38 saves and recording a goals-against average of 2.15.
Series: Michigan is 8-3-3 all-time against Purdue and has won three straight in the series. Purdue's last win in the series came in 2009 (1-0 in West Lafayette, Ind.).
The Wolverines made history last Sunday (Oct. 13), downing No. 11 Penn State, 1-0, for the program's first-ever win in State College. It was also Michigan's first victory over Penn State since 2002. Senior Tori McCombs scored the match's lone goal, in the 67th minute, and Taylor Bucklin made seven saves in the shutout. [ Recap ]

The whole deal with Jesse and the 150+ cars that got together for him (plus those of us over here) is truly amazing. He seems like such a cool, sweet kid, and his family is great. It really makes you feel good to be a part of something like this, even if it's from so far away.
I hope we can keep posting pics and stuff for Jesse... I know he's really enjoyed them all!

Residents seek answers following flood
REXBURG, Idaho - Rexburg residents scurried to restore basements after Tuesday's flood.
Basements are filled with water and mud, and now it's up to the people living there to clean up the mess, but residents like Todd Leishman of the Hidden Valley subdivision said the city should aid in restoration efforts.
"We're hoping the city is going to help us, but the bottom line is that this ditch wasn't built right anyway, so it's kind of their fault," he said.
The neighborhood is built along a canal and Leishman's home sits right next to a drainage ditch. Flood waters broke out of all four of his basement windows and filled it with 4.5 feet of water. Leishman said he has lived in his home for more than a decade. He said over the years he's had a lot of close calls with flooding and even built a cinder-block wall to keep out canal overflow.
"I thought we had it, but apparently not," said Leishman.
Mayor Richard S. Woodland explained that there was nothing the city could have done to prevent this matter and that it has done all they can to help with the cleanup effort.
"This is one of those things that the best-engineered storm drain plans wouldn't have ameliorated at all. It was just that overwhelming," said Woodland. "We'll just see how it's going to shake out in time. We just are not certain yet of what insurance will cover, and what we'll be able to cover."
The city received 16 claims Wednesday, all of which it hopes to resolve. City officials said they are looking into their insurance plan to aid residents with reconstruction.

I use SQL server 2000 to store my data. I have set up DSNs to the various

discovered the -odbc- command. My questions are:
Are the security settings from the underlying SQL tables inherited by Stata.
For example, I have a database for reference with read-only tables. Will
Stata still allow records/variables to be added or data overwritten?
How does the -odbc load- command work? It appears to load the data as a
read-only view.
What I want to be able to do allow users to load a reference file, create
new variables and run analyses but not alter the original data in any way.
The security settings on the database and its tables would be independent
of Stata. Stata's -odbc- will use the DSNs that you've set up for the
users. If you're using Windows security mode, then SQL Server 2000 should
see a login reflecting the log-in that the user is running Stata under. If
you're using SQL Server authentication, then the SQL Server will see
whatever the user types into the dialogue options (-user()-
and -password()-) in -odbc-, unless you've already set those in the DSN.
My understanding and experience is that -odbc load- essentially does a
SELECT on the table, giving the Stata user a snapshot at the time the
command is executed. It does not create an updatable view; so, changing a
variable's contents in Stata after -odbc load- does nothing to the table in
the database.
As far as I'm aware, you can rely upon conventional RDBMS techniques (data
control language, groups and r¶les, views, attending to ownership, etc.) to
prevent Stata users from altering the tables with SQL Server 2000: as far
as SQL Server 2000 is concerned, Stata is just another analytical

Between November and January a flow of positive news provided substantial share price momentum for
While macro-economic conditions and the impact of the global financial crisis contributed to its downfall, poor contract execution also played a part. The main concern revolved around delays in delivering the Waratah train project. But the company appears set to deliver the final train before June 2014, and the contract is at a point where revenues will well exceed the capital expenditure and penalty payments of recent years. In November, Downer provided full-year profit guidance of $210 million, and brokers are more confident it can meet expectations than they were in the midst of the Waratah train debacle.
UBS recently upgraded its recommendation from "neutral" to "buy" and increased its 12-month price target from $3.80 to $5.15. The broker says Downer represents "compelling value", trading on a discount to the market of more than 40 per cent at the end of January. At that stage, Downer's share price implied a forward price-earnings multiple of nine times relative to 2012-13 forecasts. UBS believed that ongoing positive news could see Downer trade on forward P/E multiples between 10 and 11 times and, in fact, by the end of February its shares closed at $5.52, representing a forward P/E of about 11 times.

Looks great !
Thats a serious little carry piece.
This is a discussion on Charter Arms .44 Special Custom Work Pictures within the Defensive Carry Guns forums, part of the Defensive Carry Discussions category; So I know that a lot of people out there don't like Charter Arms revolvers, but thought I would share some pics of my .44 ...
So I know that a lot of people out there don't like Charter Arms revolvers, but thought I would share some pics of my .44 Special that I just got back from Magnaport. I didn't get it ported, but I had some other work done. I had them file down the front sight, and replace it with an XS Big Dot Tritium sight. I also had them mini bob the hammer, and jewel and polish the hammer and trigger.
Just waiting on my Simply Rugged Holster to show up any day now to complete my new trail gun.
Looks great !

Like custom guns and stuff? Check this out...
Nice! I have a Charter .44 spl that I also use for a trail gun. How long did it take Magnaport to do the work? I may have to look into making some changes to mine.

Nice carry revolver.
Smart choice on the front sight for a self defense wheelie.
Liberty Over Tyranny Μολὼν λαβέ
I remember that one of the gun ragazines, many years ago, did a story on a Magnaport custom .44 Bulldog. Hardchrome or something, porting, jeweling, action...and I think some sort of hot lime green plastic insert sight. I always thought the work was kind of neat. I'd like to have one, not that I need a .44 Special. Let us know how it shoots.
What Would Gumby Do?
It took them about three weeks to get it back to me. This is actually my second Charter .44 Special. I also have a black one, but wanted to get the custom work done on a stainless one.
Heading to the range tonight to try it out with the new sights.
I'd rather have my 629, but I have shot several CA's and they all went bang. Very mice work you have done. I didn't know magna port did jeweling. Thanks for the knowledge.
When Seconds Count, The Cops Are Just Minutes Away!!
Carry On!
real nice ! How about a range report when you shoot it ?

Can somebody edumicate me on the .44 Special and its balllistics/primary uses? I'm sad to admit that it is a round I know every little about. Very nice looking wheelie.
"Skin that smokewagon!".
That's a great looking weapon! I would like more conventional sights for a trail gun for those sights look great for ccw! And I like the hammer and trigger! It's real classy!
Very classy.

I just got back from wringing some rounds out of the gun after the work was done on it. I was 47-50 within the outline of a "Q" or Qualifying target with the majority of them being center of mass, but I did get a few head shots in. Very impressed with the accuracy of these guns.
That is an awesome Gun...I like Charter Arms!

Madame Bovary HTML version
Chapter Eleven
The next day Charles had the child brought back. She asked for her mamma.
They told her she was away; that she would bring her back some playthings.
Berthe spoke of her again several times, then at last thought no more of her. The
child's gaiety broke Bovary's heart, and he had to bear besides the intolerable
consolations of the chemist.
Money troubles soon began again, Monsieur Lheureux urging on anew his friend
Vincart, and Charles pledged himself for exorbitant sums; for he would never
consent to let the smallest of the things that had belonged to HER be sold. His
mother was exasperated with him; he grew even more angry than she did. He
had altogether changed. She left the house.
Then everyone began "taking advantage" of him. Mademoiselle Lempereur
presented a bill for six months' teaching, although Emma had never taken a
lesson (despite the receipted bill she had shown Bovary); it was an arrangement
between the two women. The man at the circulating library demanded three
years' subscriptions; Mere Rollet claimed the postage due for some twenty
letters, and when Charles asked for an explanation, she had the delicacy to
"Oh, I don't know. It was for her business affairs."
With every debt he paid Charles thought he had come to the end of them. But
others followed ceaselessly. He sent in accounts for professional attendance. He
was shown the letters his wife had written. Then he had to apologise.
Felicite now wore Madame Bovary's gowns; not all, for he had kept some of
them, and he went to look at them in her dressing-room, locking himself up there;
she was about her height, and often Charles, seeing her from behind, was seized
with an illusion, and cried out—
"Oh, stay, stay!"
But at Whitsuntide she ran away from Yonville, carried off by Theodore, stealing
all that was left of the wardrobe.
It was about this time that the widow Dupuis had the honour to inform him of the
"marriage of Monsieur Leon Dupuis her son, notary at Yvetot, to Mademoiselle
Leocadie Leboeuf of Bondeville." Charles, among the other congratulations he
sent him, wrote this sentence—
"How glad my poor wife would have been!"
One day when, wandering aimlessly about the house, he had gone up to the
attic, he felt a pellet of fine paper under his slipper. He opened it and read:
"Courage, Emma, courage. I would not bring misery into your life." It was
Rodolphe's letter, fallen to the ground between the boxes, where it had remained,
and that the wind from the dormer window had just blown towards the door. And
Charles stood, motionless and staring, in the very same place where, long ago,
Emma, in despair, and paler even than he, had thought of dying. At last he

When Cecilia Dominguez joined the Los Angeles Police Department in the late 1960s, women wore skirts and their badges designated them as "policewoman."
The badges changed in the early 1970s to the unisex "police officer," reflecting the growing ranks of female officers.
But Dominguez, 69, always cherished her vintage policewoman badge, keeping it in a shadow box display with other LAPD memorabilia she collected in the years before she retired as a detective in 1997.
When she and her husband, Joe, had to temporarily move out of their home due to a fire, however, the shadow box went into a hidden cargo compartment in their small SUV and vanished when the car was stolen about a year ago.
"I was devastated," she said.
On Friday, her old badge -- No. 85 -- was handed back to her after it was recovered in a recent drug search warrant served on a house in Long Beach.
"I was very happy to hear they'd found it," said Dominguez, a Cerritos resident who since retiring from the LAPD has worked for 17 years as an investigator for the Los Angeles County Public Defender's Office.
Dominguez was able to replicate many of the items kept in her stolen LAPD shadow box, such as her first duty gun, handcuffs and stripes, which were not recovered. But the badge was irreplaceable.
There were only a "handful" of women in the LAPD when she signed up for the academy, Dominguez said.
"I was always sort of a tomboy, I was always watching 'Dragnet,' " Dominguez said. "And I liked guns. ... A friend of mine in high school told me I should take the test for the Police Department so I took some classes at Harbor College."
She didn't regret it.
"It's always been a fun job," she said of her career that spanned 29 years, five months and two days. "It was a great career because it was always so versatile."
After serving her probationary period at the LAPD's Harbor Division in San Pedro, Dominguez went on to work at several of the LAPD's districts with a variety of assignments, including some undercover work.
Women are still a minority in the LAPD, but their ranks have grown significantly since the first female officer was hired in 1910.
Presiding over the ceremony Friday, Harbor Division Capt. Nancy Lauer said women who joined the ranks in those early years "paved the way for the rest of us."
"Being a policewoman on the LAPD can occasionally be challenging (now)," she said. "I can only imagine what it would have been like then."
LAPD Officer Josie Sanchez -- who with her partner Humberto Pintones discovered the badge while executing the search warrant -- was on hand to personally give the badge back to its rightful owner in an emotional moment.
Several young officers, both men and women, crowded around Dominguez afterward, asking her questions about her career and what it was like for women officers in the 1960s and '70s.
"I was eager to meet her," said Sanchez who has been an officer for six years. "It's a wonderful day for me."

What fabric have you guys been using for Boba's vest? I used Vinyl once, but that obviously isn't it.
Please help.
Pics would be nice...as always.
Here's a thread that'll get you started on some general fabric ideas:
ya know...it kind of looks like the gray material on an ironing board. What do you folks think???
I guess the one thing I can say about the ironing board material is that I do know of at least one Fett that uses that material. It seems to work well, but it's a bit too rigid for my tastes. Perhaps it comes in different weights?
I used a quilted under shirt that I found at a thrift store. I have not been able to find such an item new, though. Most of them are polyester, too, which is a pain. Eventually, I was able to score a cotton one, though. I removed the sleeves and then dyed it the correct color. You could spray paint a polyester one, I suppose, but you'd never be able to wash it, and I've found that spray-painted fabric tends to remain kind of tacky and gets yucky after a while.
Here are some pictures of my first attempt at a padded Boba Fett vest. I started with the Simplicity cheerleading pattern mentioned in another thread. (Sorry I forgot the number.) I modified the back to extend the opening all the way from top to bottom. I modified the short sleeves, and the collar to what you see. The fabric is from JoAnn Fabrics, Casa Satin, color Platinum. And the vest is padded with a 1/8" thick batting, also from JoAnn's.
I am going to be making another vest, to improve on this one, and to make one that will fit me. When I started this one, I made adjustments to the size of the vest across my chest, but not across my shoulders, so I can't get it on. :facepalm
In my next version I will be fixing the underarm seam, and using invisible thread for the whole vest. However, any other comments or suggestions, will be greatly appriciated, and help me make a better version 2.0.
gator, I think that your on to sdomething here. It looks great to me! :-)
Is the material sniny at all? I know it is satin.
My first attempt was with vinyl.
Keep us all posted, and keep up the GREAT work!
Looking good so far. Don't forget the openings for your jet pack straps :)
Also, if you really want some more feedback...the neck on your vest should not have a collar on it...the ribbed collar on Fett is actually part of his jumpsuit believe it or not.

Thanks for the encouragement. Satin has a shiny side and a dull side. Per the suggestions on other threads, I turned the satin "inside out", so that the shiny side is towards the batting, and the dull side is exposed on the outside and inside of the vest.

Thanks also. I figured I could cut in the openings for the jet pack straps, once I actually have a jet pack. :) Thats a couple of months down the road. And yes, thats is the type of feedback I am hoping for. However, if the collar is on the jumpsuit, is the collar the same color and fabric of the jumpsuit, or is the material for the vest just sewn onto the opening of the jumpsuit neck?
I made my jumpsuit collar out of the same stuff I'm using for the vest.
AWESOME JOB!!!!!!! WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Keep up the great work.

:o You're too flattering.
Yep, the collar is the same fabric as the vest, but sewn onto the jumpsuit (at least that's the concensus so far). :)
I dont know thing one about boba, but that does look stinking cool :D

Unfortunitally for this version of my costume I may be stuck keeping the collar on the vest, unless I can attach it to my somewhat finished jumpsuit. Otherwise I may have to wait untill I redo my jumpsuit, and attach the collar then.

I am honored by the complement, from a great forum member. Thanks.
When I made my vest I made it out of paper first, then just taped it together to check the size and do any alterations. My collar is almost like a Dikie, it has the neck piece and a small collar portion that sits around my neck and shoulders. I can put the collar on then my vest on over it.

Good idea. :thumbsup I can make my new vest a little larger and without the collar. Make the seperate collar like you suggested. Then sometime in the future, when I redo my jumpsuit, I can always add the collar directly to the jumpsuit at that time.
Out of curiosity, does anyone know (and I know SOMEONE around here does) the color differences between the ESB vest and the ROTJ vest? Are they both silver/gray, or some other color?
Anyone have the numbers for the pattern mentioned in this thread? It's about time for me to start on my vest (which I've been dreading, because I have NO sewing skills whatsoever) What was the final concensus on fabric? The platinum casa satin seems to look pretty good from the pics in this thread
And while I'm asking, anyone have measurements for the short sleeves on Boba's vest? Or maybe a modified pattern? :)
The sleeve measurements will be different based on your own arm length.
To find a pattern #, you'll have to venture inside a sewing store and ask one of the workers there to help you. They will fall all over themselves trying to help men. They rarely see them.
I saw another man in a sewing store once.......IN A MIRROR! When I walk into a place like that, I look totaly lost, like I thought it was a bar or something and I can't seem to find a bar stool in front one of the measuring tables. Funny, no one asks me if I need help, I think they just like to watch to see what I'll do :lol If you have any trouble with the pattern, you can make a trial one out of paper and just tape it to get a good estimate on size, then alter it as needed before you sew anything.....remember seam allowance :D
The women that work in all of the fabric stores that *I* have been in tend to be very unhelpful and avoid me like the plague. (maybe it's my cologne...) :confused
It's a good thing that when I go to a fabric store, I know what I want, and how much I need. ;)
"overly-helpful" employees rank very highly on my list of pet peeves, just like those baggers at the Publix supermarkets around here that try every way that they can to get you to let them take your groceries to your car, *then* they don't load the groceries right (heavy items stacked on eggs and bread), and then they slam you trunk and wander off! :facepalm
Where's my blaster?!? :evil
but I digress... :D
Hmm, women at the fabric store being NOT helpful?
You DID remember to take your wedding ring off before you went in, right? *L*
Seriously, you just must not be doing it right. Azeem and I go in every once in a while, and when we need help, I just stand far away from him, and someone always comes running over and fawns all over him trying to get him whatever he needs. Maybe you should try looking more helpless. Or mention loudly that you wish you had a date for next Friday. :) Even the old women will try to set you up with their daughter.
I have to say that the workers at my local Joannes Fabrics are pretty rude too. I wander around helpless and often have to look for someone to help me. What can I say...
I just figure there a bunch of Rebels.
