She is just adorable! Sometimes as new mothers we're just too tired to enjoy their cuteness!
Something I wished I learned with my first - it's really not worth it to 'force' them to do things in an attempt to form some structure.
I listened to everybody else with my first little cherub.
- didn't want her too 'used' to being held - didn't want her in the habit of being held or rocked to sleep - wanted her to learn to soothe herself, put herself to sleep - yadda, yadda, yadda -
When I had Bella, I just let her call the shots. If she wanted to be held all the time, I held her. If she wanted to nurse constantly, I let her. If she wanted to sleep, didn't want to sleep, wanted to sleep in her bed, in the swing, in my arms, whatever, I didn't schedule a thing. By the time Bailey was a couple of months old, I knew every nap/sleep schedule she had. With Bella, there was no set time when she would sleep. And I would just nurse her the second she woke up.
I was more rigid with Bailey, and she/it was definitely tougher on me. I don't know if it's nature or nurture, but I followed Bellas cues and wants for everything and she was the easiest baby ever. She just never cried.

Post Herbicides on Stressed Corn
Although we didn't have as much frost injury in the area as in some other parts of the state, the corn has been under stress with this cold, wet weather. This makes it more vulnerable to herbicide injury. Ironically it makes the weeds less vulnerable to be killed by the herbicides, since the best herbicide activity is seen when the weeds are healthy and actively growing. Because of this it would be best to wait an extra day or two before making the herbicide applications if the weed and crop size and weather forecast will allow it. It definitely would not be advisable to be using UAN as a carrier if the corn has emerged, since this will increase the corn injury. If the corn has emerged and the application was planned to be applied preemergence, make sure the label allows for applications after corn emergence. For additional comments on the subject, see Bob Hartzler's article at http://www.extension.iastate.edu/CropNews/2010/0512hartzler.htm.
Check Plants for Seedling Diseases
The cool, wet weather may result in increased seedling diseases in both crops this spring. When checking plant stands, it's important to do some digging and check the health of the below ground portions of the plant. Seedling rots often affect the mesocotyl in corn (part between the seed and nodal roots). Check to see if it is firm and white or becoming brown and mushy. Fungicide seed treatments help to protect the developing corn seedlings, but with the extended period of cool weather, seedling diseases can still develop. See the Alison Robertson and Gary Munkvold article for some additional discussion and pictures of seedling rot at http://www.extension.iastate.edu/CropNews/2009/0519robertson.htm.
For soybeans emerged or not, we need to evaluate the hypocotyls and roots. The hypocotyls should be firm. Emerging soybean fields should still be watched for a short while after emergence just to be sure that damping-off is still not an issue. If germinated seedlings were infected during this cold spell, it's possible to have a "post-emergence" damping-off as discussed in the following publication: http://www.extension.iastate.edu/Publications/PM936.pdf

An influenza outbreak in Putnam has prompted health officials to urge all county residents to get a flu shot as soon as possible.
Health Commissioner Dr. Sherlita Amler said a "significant number of cases have been confirmed countywide—influenza that is occurring earlier than anticipated. My staff and I are concerned and we are asking that the public becomes proactive and receives a flu shot rather than stay home and be sick."
Dr. Amler told the Courier Tuesday afternoon that the number of specific cases was not being released but "of the doctors and medical practitioners who work with us on a daily basis, flu has arrived in Putnam County. People are getting sick. The best way to ward off influenza is to get a flu shot."
The commissioner suggested those not getting their flu shot this year to plan on attending a special clinic January 12, from 2:30 to 6:30pm, at the Putnam Health Department complex in Southeast at the rear of the New York State DMV office off Route 312 and I-84.
Vaccine will be administered free to anyone age six months or older.
The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reported this week a "higher number of flu cases than average in the northeast" for early January.
Dr. Amler said the "concern is there. Those who have not been vaccinated against influenza are encouraged to get their shot as soon as possible. Next Wednesday's county clinic is free."

Young Driver Speaks Out After Deadly Wreck
Francisco "Chico" Zuncin, 16, was killed in the crash.
DUPLIN COUNTY - The 20-year-old driver who was at the wheel during a fatal crash last month spoke out for the first time on Tuesday.
Troopers say Edwin Alvarez, of Albertson, was traveling west on Outlaw Bridge Road in Duplin County, near Beulaville, on August 17th.
That's when Alvarez failed to yield and turned in front of a truck that was traveling south on Highway 111, according to the Highway Patrol.
Francisco "Chico" Zuncin, 16, who was in the passenger seat of Alvarez's car, died as a result of the crash.
"If I could bring Chico back to life I would," said Alvarez. "Even though if it took my life."
Family members say Chico and Alvarez have been friends for years. Alvarez said that Chico was like a brother. "We love Chico, and we're going to miss him really bad," said Alvarez.
Troopers say Alvarez sustained serious injuries to his head after the crash. "I don't even remember being in the hospital," said Alvarez.
Family members say over 400 people attended Chico's funeral, including Alvarez.
"I touched his heart, and I was crying over him," said Alvarez. "I didn't want to believe that he was gone."
On Monday, Alvarez was charged with operating a vehicle without a license and failure to yield. Troopers say District Attorney Ernie Lee is currently determining whether Alvarez will also be charged with misdemeanor death by motor vehicle.
That's something that Chico's family does not support.
"I know he was a good friend for my son," said Rene Zuncin, Chico's father.
Family members say Chico's brothers remain close friends with Alvarez. Zuncin says Alvarez is always welcomed at his home.
"It's not that he wanted to do it, it's just an accident, something that happened, and nobody can do nothing about it," said Zuncin.

HIGH SCHOOL BASKETBALL: Blairsville boys keep pace with Homer-Center
BLAIRSVILLE — Blairsville's Troy Williams scored 20 points to lead the Bobcats to a 65-32 win over Ligonier Valley in a Heritage Conference boys' basketball game Tuesday night.
Blairsville improved to 8-1 overall and 6-1 in the conference and kept pace with first-place Homer-Center (12-1, 7-0), which routed Northern Cambria on Tuesday night. Ligonier Valley fell to 4-7 and 3-3.
Utilizing an effective full-court press from the opening tip, the Bobcats limited the Rams to one first-quarter field goal. Blairsville never trailed and built a 9-3 lead after the first quarter.
The Rams' shooting woes continued in the second period as Blairsville's lead increased to 28-15 at halftime. The Bobcats build their lead with several easy transition buckets off turnovers created by the 2-2-1 press.
"It was important to establish our press early," first-year Bobcats coach Mark DeMarines said. "We didn't want them to get into a rhythm offensively."
Ligonier Valley continued to struggle to break the Bobcats' press in the second half. Blairsville outscored the Rams 27-9 in the third quarter to take a 55-24 lead into the final quarter.
"In the third quarter we were able to get a lot of easy transition buckets," DeMarines said. "Our press was working well."
Williams, a 6-foot-2 junior, converted 6 of 7 free throws and led the scoring.
Colton McMillan added 10 points for the Bobcats.
The Rams were led by Collin Smith's 10 points, while Jordan Jones contributed nine.

A Better Place
Advertisement - Continue Reading Below
Lisa, 14, Springfield, OH
On that special summer night,
When we first kissed,
It's the only day I would go back to,
When you put your hand in mine,
And said "I want you,"
It made me feel beautiful.
Now I wish you were here with me in my arms,
But you are in a better place,
Where you can watch over me,
I think about you all day long.

text: VANCOUVER, April 4, 2013 /PRNewswire/ - Taseko (TSX: TKO; NYSE MKT: TGB) (the "Company") announces 2013 first quarter production of 23.2 million pounds of copper and 355 thousand pounds of molybdenum (on a 100% basis) at its 75% owned Gibraltar Mine. Total sales in the first quarter were 21.5 million pounds of copper and 337 thousand pounds of molybdenum. Taseko's 75% share of first quarter sales was 16.1 million pounds of copper and 253 thousand pounds of molybdenum. Following a planned ten week commissioning schedule, Concentrator #2 (GDP3) was officially turned over to the operations team on March 28 th. Over the first six days of operation, throughput steadily climbed from 500 tons per hour to the present rate of 1,000 tons per hour as ball charge rates are being increased toward design criteria. The new concentrator has averaged 80% availability with copper recoveries over 80%. During this period, the combined throughput of the two concentrators has averaged 74,000 tons per day at an 82% copper recovery. Russell Hallbauer, President and CEO of Taseko, commented, "We are extremely pleased with how commissioning progressed on the new concentrator, and this is reflected in how well the system is working after only six operating days. Early results from Concentrator #2 performance are as expected and we anticipate advancing to design capacity as expeditiously as the mechanical circuits allow. This is in line with our projections of full design throughput of 30,000 tons per day by mid-year. Additionally, improved operating performance is anticipated from Concentrator #1 as it is now unencumbered by construction activities." Mr. Hallbauer continued, "We have transformed Gibraltar from 60 million pounds of annual copper production and a 40-month mine plan to a modern 165 million pound per year producer with a 25 year mine life. This was achieved at the lowest capital cost of any major mining project in the world. We look forward to demonstrating both our production and cost capabilities in 2013." Note: Gibraltar is a Joint Venture owned by Taseko Mines Limited (75%) and Cariboo Copper Corp. (25%). All production figures are reported on a 100% basis. Russell Hallbauer President and CEO No regulatory authority has approved or disapproved of the information contained in this news release.

What's a mom to do when her baby wakes up with a 102 fever on her first birthday? Our contributor Susan L. shares with up how she got through the day without going delirious:
If you know me, you know that I'm a planner. So naturally, I started planning Baby D's first birthday party three months ago. Afterall, there were so many things to think about: invitations, party favors, the guest list, the venue, games and entertainment, food and the cake!
The guest list of 60 people (30 adults and just about 30 kids) pretty much determined that we were not hosting the party at our house. Thinking about it just gave me a headache, so we hoped for good weather and decided to have it at a nearby park.
The thought of keeping 30 kids entertained gave me mild anxiety attacks, so I looked around on yelp.com and found a face painter to keep the kids busy. It was great – the kids had so much fun picking out their "tattoos" and that day it seems that everyone was having a good time. Everyone, that is, except for the birthday girl!
Poor baby D had woken up that morning with a 102 degree fever. She wouldn't stop crying so we took her to Urgent Care to make sure it wasn't an ear infection (it wasn't – the doctor said it was a virus – which in my mind is just code for "we don't know what it is, so tell them it's a virus"). We almost canceled party, but then decided to go through with it since it was too late to call everyone to cancel. And plus, it was her first birthday – I really didn't want to cancel it after planning it for so long!
So, as you can imagine, D was not a happy camper that day. She was cranky and didn't even want to try her first ever bite of cake! I was stressed out, convinced that the party was a big failure because she wasn't enjoying it, but I had to remind myself to just roll with it. D had no idea what was going on and besides, she wasn't going to remember it anyway!
And of course, because this is just the way life goes, D woke up the next morning happy as a clam. No more fever, no more runny nose. It was as if nothing had ever happened!
Here's D NOT enjoying her birthday cake:
Here's a rare moment of D NOT crying that day (at least we have this one picture):

BLACK LICK — The Burrell Township board of supervisors plans to convene earlier than usual for the monthly business meeting on June 19 to take public comment on the township's grant project priorities.
The supervisors said Wednesday that the Indiana County Office of Planning and Development requires the hearing for determining how to spend the township's allotment of community development block grant funds, estimated this year to be about $68,000.
Supervisors John Shields and Larry Henry said a waterline replacement project for the Fairfield Heights neighborhood — a patch of just over a dozen homes on four streets on the southeast edge of Black Lick — has been the priority. They said current grant money is paying for design work and construction ought to start in 2015.
The supervisors approved documents authorizing the planning office to administer the project.
In other business Wednesday, the supervisors:
• Received from the county planning office a survey requesting information about stormwater drainage problems in the township. The planning office is preparing a countywide stormwater management plan to address flooding, erosion and other issues in six major watershed areas in Indiana County, according to Chief Planner Jeff Raykes.
• Reported that the township awarded contracts for road maintenance materials and supplies at a special meeting on May 8. Low bids were accepted from Hanson Group for six kinds of paving stones, American Rock Salt Co. for road salt, Derry Construction Co. for asphalt, Russell Standard Co. for patching material, Suite-Kote for liquid paving materials and Davis Trucking for hauling materials from suppliers to the work sites.
• Reported that the Peoples TWP gas company has submitted notice of a pipeline replacement project within wetlands near Toms Run, as required by the state Department of Environmental Protection in a permit application.
• Reported that the Black Lick volunteer fire department has several fundraisers planned including a food auction by the ladies auxiliary on May 25 at the fire hall, a submarine sandwich sale June 1 and a basket bash June 2 at the fire hall.

"I'd take my oath he has hid them somewheres," replied Jack Beard, an ill-looking lad.
He was a surly, ill-looking man, with a heavy dark mustache.
He put his ill-looking face over the stile, as they came up, and I flung him the other sixpence, and thanked him too.
He's no that ill-looking; but, eh, there's a glint in his eye I wouldna trust.
A row of ill-looking houses, huts and shops stretched along the bay for nearly a mile.
The world had told me I was not ill-looking, and I believed what it said.
The people too, seemed not so ill-looking, and much more good-natured, than we had at first thought.
That she be beautiful, only that she be not ill-looking, is not important.
This was an ill-looking fellow, with one eye damaged,—a most unamiable Dogberry.
Her conversation had won me: a woman who could talk so, I fancied, could not be ill-looking.

The Scrutiny that Comes with Being a Female Candidate
Click on the audio player above to hear this interview.
Last night's debate at the University of New Hampshire was the first time the Democratic front-runners—Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton—went head-to-head.
Clinton is the first woman to ever win the Iowa Caucuses. While she's used to being the only woman in the room, that fact does affect the way potential voters see her. When it comes to debates, is Clinton held to a different standard because she is a woman?
Speech and debate coach Chris Jahnke has advised a number of female candidates and leaders, including New Hampshire Governor Maggie Hassan and First Lady Michelle Obama. She discusses the gender dynamics at work in last night's debate, and the particular ways in which women are expected to behave on stage while debating men.

Very cute but I saw similar items for much less at bargain stores (after I bought this one of course).

I just remodeled my kitchen and was wanting a elevated dog dish that was not plastic. A double dish with that would work in with my decor. This was the one. Sturdy, as I have a German Shepard and a Saint Bernard, easy to put together and it looks great too.

I've never been the kind of person who thought I needed fancy dog dishes. But I saw this set and thought 'Wow, that's really pretty' and bought it. I'm very happy I did! Prior to this set I had two plastic, over-chewed dog dishes sitting on my kitchen floor. Now, I have two stainless steel dishes placed very prettily atop a decorative stand. It looks lovely!I ordered the 1 quart sized bowls. For my medium sized malamute, they work well. I wash them once every week to keep them shiny and clean. The stainless steel makes them very easy to clean. They don't stain, rust, or scratch. They clean out very easily (could literally just be wiped down with a wet towel if you wanted to). The stand has a sort of cast iron appearance. I'm not sure what kind of metal it is, but it's light-weight, yet sturdy enough to not be knocked over by an aggressively hungry pup. It's not very tall (I guess I was expecting taller?). It only sits about 6' off the ground. For my dog, this really doesn't do any good. She still has to bend down to get her food. But she doesn't seem to mind, so I won't either.The set is very pretty, looks lovely in my kitchen, and my dog eats out of it (then again, she'll eat out of anything!). It fits its purpose and I love the look. Couldn't have asked for a prettier addition to my dog-accessory collection.

Love this pet bowl set! I have looked for something that looks nice, sturdy and perfect height for my Bella Maltese and this is it!! Easy to put together and bowls fit perfect in holes. Easy to clean too! Have used it for a couple months and still very happy with purchase!

I was hesitatnt in buying this product, as most of the dog bowls with stands are for very small dogs or cost substantially more for large dogs. I have to say, I have a Boxer around 90 lbs and the 2 quart dishes serve him well. I need to refill the water bowl about twice a day, but thats expected with my dog and would have to do this anyway, even with larger bowls. *(He drools a lot and gets the water dirty) Other than that, I'm very happy with this product.

DIY: A/C expansion valve replacement
Just've done it. Easy enough, everything is doable from the engine compartment, no need to remove dash or do anything from cabin at all. First, discharge the system at nearest shop, don't discharge it into air, please.
Remove cabin filter carrier and so called 'heater bulkhead' (the piece of trim in between the engine and the firewall). So, you'll see this:
Remove the bolt that holds low pressure port.
Detach two bolts which attach two pipes to round double pipe port:
Now you need to close the flap that hides the valve. In
they recommend to pull the lock up and feed the flap out. I tried but the lock didn't want to be pulled up and I didn't want to break anything. So, I just turned ignition key on and on A/C unit in cabin I selected 'recirculation' mode: this caused flap to close.
Detach the double pipe assembly:
You may remove the center stud from the valve by using E6 external torx socket for convenience.
Now need to remove the two bolts which are holding the valve in place. For some reasons people drill them out (I read it in several DIYs). No need to drill out at all, just use 3mm hex bit socket and unscrew them:
Basically, this is all about removal. Installation is the reverse of removal. Don't forget to replace all the O-rings by the new ones.
It is a good idea to replace the dryer as well (at least I will, along with a condenser).
After assembling everything, go to the shop to evacuate and re-charge system. I'll do it myself with a vacuum pump and gauges later, but this is out of scope of this DIY.

*** This review may contain spoilers ***
I'm glad they gave Laura Vandervoort a 'special guest star' credit.
It's only fair, given that Callum Blue got one last episode. Both of
them have previously been regulars on the show, after all.
So happy to see Kara/Laura again. She's certainly a sight for sore eyes (even when slightly dirtied up). Also glad to see Oliver Queen: Tomb Raider share screen time with Kara, as we'd never watched them interact before. Though the pleasure of seeing Kara again didn't last long once it was revealed that she was trapped in a - to quote Oliver's words - "Death Ray from Hell". Kara showed her trust in Clark by believing that if he trusted Oliver, she could as well. Kara's certainly come quite a ways since her early days on the show, when she couldn't trust Clark as far as...well...a regular human could throw him.
While all I wanted was to spend time on Kara and Oliver's storyline, and was eager to get back to them, there were a few amusing moments during the Lois getting Clark's powers storyline - such as her mentioning that she used her "Freeze Breath" and him correcting her with "Arctic Breath." (really, Clark? That's what you call it?), her saying how she'd broken numerous high heels thanks to super-speeding everywhere, and clarifying that his "squinty head tilt" was a big part of him using his Super Hearing. Clark's deadpan "Apparently." was quite good.
I loved the scene between Kara and Oliver where they had to shoot the two symbols. The look she gave him/the look they exchanged - when they worked out they had to hit the symbols at the exact same time - was classic. I also loved him handing her his bow and informing her how "easy" it was to use, followed by the look she gave him and then it. I'm glad Oliver returned the faith Kara had had in him (and she looked mighty fine wielding that bow and arrow, I might add). I liked the bit where he complimented her on her shooting and her thanking him. They made a great team, not to mention Laura and Justin really seemed to work well with each other. I wish they'd got to spend more screen time together. Another missed opportunity, thanks to the show almost being over.
Kara's scene in the Fortress with Jor-El was...not quite what I was expecting, but it did make a certain kind of sense. I guess the writers had to explain why she could not help Clark take down all the things he has to face in the final. If she'd been around to aid him, it probably would have been "too easy" or some rubbish. I don't quite get how her helping him would have destroyed the world...but whatever. Crazy Jor-El logic does not resemble Earth logic. I really felt for her, when she said Clark was the only family she had left. Unlike Clark, Kara's never had any real friends or family (besides Clark) since she turned up on Earth. Poor Kara.
Lucky for Clark, Evil Lois was schooled in the art of tossing her enemy AWAY from her (like so many villains seem to do when they're supposedly intent on killing whoever). Tess telling Clark to hold on and stall Lois was kind of unintentionally hilarious, given that she looked about ready to actually do what she should have done to start with (ie. break his neck). Lucky he got his powers back when he did, otherwise he would have been minus a hand.
I was wondering if we were ever going to find out what became of Kara. So...she used the Legion ring to go into the future, huh? Well, hopefully she'll be better appreciated there. It's sad that Clark never even discovered that she'd returned and how hard it was for her to leave him behind. I guess their final goodbye remains their one in 'Supergirl'.
Thankyou, show, for not killing off Kara. I guess this was the most I could hope for. It's all I've ever really wanted from the show, actually - for Kara's character at least stay *alive* (and thereby stick it to all the haters who wanted her dead. HA!). Sadly, Kara was a victim of being under-used on a show that did not appreciate her. Laura Vandervoort really grew with the role and came to be a very fine actress that the show unfortunately didn't know how to utilize properly (she was much better used/more appreciated on V).
Kara was just too awesome for Smallville. She wasn't a whiner about her destiny or whatever, she saved people (a lot) without the angst Clark always displayed, and was just much more fun/less of a jerk than he often was. It's a crime that she didn't get her own show, as I totally would have watched it (and LV deserved it). I can only hope at some point in the future someone who's willing to give Kara/Supergirl the respect she deserves creates a show about her. Until then, you will be missed, Kara/LV. You were truly Supergirl.
*** This review may contain spoilers ***
Well, what can i say, i would have stopped watching Smallville years ago if i didn't have the urge to see everything through till the end, given that it hooks me in the beginning. With Smallville, that's the case, i like superman, i like comic series and i liked this one, the back and forth in Highschool began to be awful after some seasons, i was almost there to quit the show, but then Lois Lane saves the day and the bad teen romance seems to be over, but some seasons later the plots have gotten really ridiculous, some never ending stories never end, i just watched smallville while surfing the internet. Coming to today, that's what i did: Watching or more listening to smallville while surfing the net for 45 minutes, boring plot twists that makes you think you're back in high school. Square One after 10 Seasons ... I'm just glad when it's over next week.
Jor-El says write a bad review.
So as expected Prophecy was as ridiculous as all past episodes but Collateral, The One exception. Viewers who have endured Smallville so far deserve a gold medal considering how the show managed to trench a 10th season will remain a mystery for future generations. The very beginning I just knew it would go wrong, as always. First during the opening credits Mike Rohl as the director didn't ring a bell and as for the two writers, Emile Brian and Shaundy Kaufmann if I remember correctly, I suppose they were hired in a hurry as I heard most people behind the show were fired because of budget cuts. Lucky for them the desperate performers had no choice but to stick until the finale Zod bless. As for the story it started with the usual boring twist, right before the tiresome title sequence. They couldn't have been more predictable ! The audience still in love with season 1 should be in heaven because in term of skills Tom Welling and Erica Durance were back to square one. The second actually reminded me of Kristin Kreuk, Lana Lang in case you have already forgot, in her worst days and this is an euphemism. As special agent Sterling Malory Archer said to her secretary : « Please don't cry, you're so ugly ». Durance's onion acting was painful to watch and in fact I had to look away. As for Welling his charisma has reached the bottom of TV abyss. Like if it wasn't enough their arc was dry and didn't develop their relationship in anyway. In fact it tasted like a cold plate of mashed potatoes, like the ones Martha Kent cooked us in season 9's Hostage an other Better Dead Than Alien semi-finale. And as for the naive ending I let you appreciate it because it should even turn your delicious popcorn caramel into Salt Kryptonite !
It leads us to Justin Hartley who was back again when I thought he had decided not to go for an encore. @#C!%Ω$S?¶& Sorry for this minor glitch in my prose but it seems I have just been hacked Now that I have restarted my brain, and fried its remaining neurons, let's go back to Oliver Queen. How arrogant to unveil an arc inspired by Indiana Jones and Louis Febre's music was just a noisy sumphōnia (from Ancient Greek) ! Hartley is not Harrison Ford and this time he didn't even take the time to remove his shirt to reveal his hairy and skinny bust. Things became unbearable when he was joined by the weakest link in the chain. I would rather raid my own tomb in the dark than believe Green Arrow could represent the hero within all of us. Bow before me my queen because I guard a pot of gold right at the rainbow tail. That's for you Cassidy Freeman because undertaking Oliver's sidekick was as painful as seeing her as Tess "Lara Croft" Mercer in season 9's Echo. The only juicy strawberry in that rotten bowl was her nearly absence as we only had to endure her hideous face and despicable talent for some seconds. Freeman if you hear me, I haet you !
To sum things up it was an other rabid walk in the park. A tainted ice fortress full of fake emotions, empty character development and dead boring entertainment. And with such a pathetic cliffhanger I can't see how the ultimate finale could redeemed the 215 episodes oh my Zod ! we had to put up with so far.
Now Jor-El said it was our last trial before The Finale so let's embrace our destiny and be the viewer Smallville needs us to be ! Lois & Clark ? My idols.
Note : I dedicate this upside down review to all people in the world who hate the show and will sadly never understand why it's so super and inspiring. But you're still welcome to join us anytime so just tune in Zod damni !

Becoming a Complete Martial Artist is a graduate-level course in the most important strategic principles of self-defense from the legendary Tristan Sutrisno and the indefatigable Marc MacYoung. Not a manual for beginners or dilettantes, but a key to the highest level of tactical self-defense, this volume concentrates not on a catalog of specific defenses for specific situations, but on teaching situational awareness and understanding of the wide range of opportunities, possibilities, and options available to the skilled defender, in any situation. The key presented here is error detection--developing the ability to understand instantly the flaws and vulnerabilities in an aggressor's attack or posture (after a thorough exploration of one's own habitual defensive response patterns in dealing with attacks). With a strong grasp of the mechanics of error detection, the martial artist will be able to step up to a new awareness and
a vastly enhanced ability to use an existing arsenal of skills to greater advantage.
Sutrisno and MacYoung bring over sixty years of combined experience to their teaching, and Becoming a Complete Martial Artist is the fruit of their long study.

Shhh, They're Giving Ads Away
When Mike Andrews needed advertising for his unrepentantly beef-oriented restaurant J.D. Hoyt's in Minneapolis, he went to one of the top agencies in the country, Fallon McElligott. Normally, the firm handles high-profile, multimillion dollar accounts like Miller Lite, United Airlines, Timex watches, and Coca-Cola. On the surface, there's no reason it would look twice at such a low-budget client. But Minneapolis-based Fallon McElligott not only accepted J.D. Hoyt's business, it gave the steak house $20,000 or so in creative services...for free. Why?
Restaurateur Andrews offered the agency something better than money: creative freedom. "He said, `Push the envelope, go wild,"' recalled Robert S. Barrie, the campaign's art director. And that's what he did, producing an irreverent, vegetarian-bashing campaign on a series of posters and billboards with such headlines as: "We believe in the proper treatment of animals. Which is why we use only the finest sauces." The campaign won a prestigious award for the agency, generated publicity, and, most important, helped boost business.
It's one of the best kept secrets of the advertising industry. For the asking, some of its best minds will donate creative services--copy writing, art direction, and design--to clients who let them work without the usual irritating constraints of tight deadlines, censorious executives, and endless committee approvals. Not incidentally, the agencies view these ads as a way to win prestige-enhancing industry awards. Mary Warlick, executive director of The One Club for Art and Copy in New York City, which hosts the high-status The One Show awards, says small clients are particularly desirable because the creative team gets ready access to top decision makers. "If you have to go through layers, there are too many opportunities to kill ideas."
Agency largesse is most often directed to nonprofits and government agencies, but private-sector recipients range from dinner theaters to car dealers to law firms. For example, Stephen R. Bergerson, a partner specializing in advertising law at Fredrikson & Byron PA in Minneapolis (and a former ad executive himself), got free help to produce a no-holds-barred ad campaign touting his services in the advertising trade press. One ad read: "If you think it's too much trouble showing your ads to a lawyer, try showing them to a judge." The calls flooded in. "I went from abject failure to huge success," crows Bergerson, who now has over 400 clients.
Bergerson was fortunate to have connections in the ad business. But many more businesses could get help--if only they knew how to ask. "We'd go crazy if someone came up and said, `I need advertising and we'll let you do whatever you want,"' said Tom Amico, a senior vice-president at Wells BDDP in New York. "That's what we would call a dream client." Amico's sentiments are shared at agencies of all sizes, particularly those with a creative bent, which donate services usually for print media, sometimes for radio, and rarely, TV. A look at one award show turns up ads produced at little or no cost in Charlotte, N.C., for The Cigar Bar at Arthur's ("Telling intolerant little people to go to hell doesn't necessarily require words"); in Chicago for Oscar Isberian Rugs ("Allah is in the details"); in St. Louis for Hunan Garden ("Which would you rather have at our restaurant, good English or good Chinese?").
As part of the deal, the businesses usually buy the ad space or time and cover other associated costs, such as printing. But in some cases, small cash-strapped businesses pay nothing at all.
There are some caveats. For one, control freaks need not apply, since creative freedom is key to the whole process. And unfettered creative directors may well produce ads that are controversial or flirt with bad taste. The J.D. Hoyt campaign, for instance, sparked picketing by People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals. (That was just fine with Andrews: It reinforced his slogan of "a restaurant for carnivores.") Also, if you're in a rush, be careful. Paying clients usually come first.
How do you hook up with an agency? Usually, it's copy writers and art directors--"creatives" in industry parlance--who seek out businesses to fit their concepts. For example, Brent Ladd, a creative director at Austin-based GSD&M, whose clients include Pennzoil, Wal-Mart Stores, and Southwest Airlines, happened to shop at tiny Rootin' Ridge, where husband-and-wife owners Paul and Georgean Kyle sell handmade wooden toys. "We are such a small business that any kind of ad program is beyond our reach," said Georgean Kyle, "but Brent said he had some ideas." Ladd designed posters emphasizing the toys' noncommercial simplicity and footed the entire bill. The ads, placed in the store's windows, have won prizes and revved up sales.
If you go prospecting for an agency yourself, make your case to the creatives--not the "suits" on the account side. "The creatives are the softies who will accept your project--but for totally selfish reasons," advises Kelly Marshall, assistant creative director at Rick Johnson & Co. in Albuquerque.
Lack an ad agency contact? Seek out local clubs for agency types. And do a little research, too. To find out which agencies take on smaller clients, check the catalogs published by organizations that sponsor the major ad awards, such as The One Show, the Addy's, or the Andy's. These books, available in some library reference sections, list agency winners and their clients. Or check out award-winners in trade magazines such as Communication Arts.
Then, again, you might woo an agency with your own classified ad in the trade press, touting "best client in the world, no budget, complete freedom," says one creative director, Caroline McGeorge. Or call one of the agency's creative directors who can direct you to a creative team hungry to do innovative work. In all cases, stress your openness and flexibility and explain that no one stands between you and the final decision.
"HAVING FUNGHI?" If you state your company's marketing goals clearly, creatives will often accommodate your objectives. They did with Rudy F. Karkosak, owner of tiny Rudy's Exotic Mushrooms in Richmond, Va., which projects $30,000 in sales this year. When McGeorge, then at O'Keefe Marketing (now CadmusCom), proposed '60s-esque bumper stickers reading "Shiitake Happens," Karkosak balked. "They were trying to really hype up the psychedelic end, but I wanted this to be a classy, upscale business," he says. Their compromise for posters, bumper-stickers,
T-shirts, and postcards: "Are You Having Fungi Yet?" Karkosak also got a logo, other marketing materials, and advice--worth about $40,000. And he got the desired "buzz" in Richmond. His T-shirts are visible all over town. Now, he says, "everyone knows who I am."
Catchy free ads could help your business, too. Your enterprise might not be as exotic as mushrooms, or as juicy as a steak house with an attitude, but there's no telling what will inspire the agency muses given the chance. Creative freedom is a small price to pay.

The last week's carry-over of one on one round in the Vijay TV show Ungalil Yaar Adutha Prabhu Deva Season 2 was started off on 19 February 2012 with wang, sathish and jeyan. The judges Sridhar master, Gayathri Raguram master, and celebrity judge Rukmani were impressed by their robotic performance and spot selected them.
For the next performance, Anand Kumar and Gokul got spot selected but Harish was wait listed as judges felt that he gives more importance only for his costumes than dance.
Following them was Akshaya, Sruthika and Krithika. Their group performance was good but their individual performance got some adverse comments from the judges.
Last performance was done by Namitha, Ranjith and Manikandan. At one stage Namitha fell down and hurt her nose. She carried her smiling face even after getting hurt and she is one of the youngest participants in the show.
Some contestants were spot selected and few got rejected and were waitlisted. The wait listed candidates were called upon by the judges and was given another chance to prove themselves to come back to the next level. The selected candidates were surya, manikandan, santhosh, manoj, Chennai Akshaya and Bangalore Akshaya. Finally sathya, who was one among the rejected list was also got selected and got an opportunity to go to the next round.

The Barnes has both art and horticulture libraries. When visitors or students have a question about the Barnes, they ask a librarian.
Q: Do you have any more information on the door that is upstairs across from the Joy of Life?
A: It's a 19th- or early 20th-century wood and pigment door made by the Baule peoples from Côte d'Ivoire. Among the Baule, such doors once graced courtyards and the entrances to interior rooms of a home. In its original home in Africa, a door like this would have been commissioned by someone fairly wealthy.
The motifs are generally decorative, although some might also illustrate proverbs. On this door is a pair of birds, the representation of a mask, and a double crocodile. For the artist, this was a great opportunity to advertise his skills. Most works of tradition-based African art weren't signed per se but were recognized by the style of the hand, so artists were known and appreciated even if the actual works themselves were not signed.
Baule peoples. Door (Anuan), 19th–early 20th century. Côte d'Ivoire. Wood, pigment, 61 1/2 x 20 x 2 in. (156.2 x 50.8 x 5.1 cm). A238. Photo: © 2013 The Barnes Foundation
Albert Barnes admired this door for its surface patterns, the contrast between curved and angular lines, and the way in which motifs such as the double crocodile show an almost internal rhythm.
Additional information can be found in The Barnes Foundation: Masterworks, page 353. Oxford Art Online provides more details on the Baule people.

When you go to their website, and from the look of this restaurant, I was afraid that they are cousin of Apple bees or Olive Garden.
But my friends who knows us well, assured me that it will not be as such.
The decor, the staff, the menu... they all look all too familiar like Apple bee's we used to go in high school over a decade ago. I ordered a salad because I had a very large lunch, but my friends all ordered some kind of heavy protein. We also had their signature chicken... 'boneless wings', I believe they called it.
Wings came out. The plating is of any family chain restaurant. And the taste? hmmm.... Good, but good like how Reese's peanut butter cup is good, or any Chinese take out is 'good'. It was battered, fried, and coated in sweet/tangy mustardy/BBQ-y sauce. Tasty though.
But my surprise was with their meat. The steak my husband had was cooked perfectly and very flavorful. I think I remember steaks at Apple Bee's being tough, over done and chewy. My friend had a shrimp dish, and the shrimp was nicely seasoned (maybe a little salty) and was cooked very well (not over cooked). My salad was also good. I think I had the southwestern cobb salad, and it was HUGE! I think I chose a wrong dressing for it, but the elements in the salad was great. Grilled asparagus and grilled tomato, good amount of egg and loads of chicken breast that was very moist and tender. Our other friend had their filet tips. In too many occasion, filet tips can be tough and stringy, but 99 offered it very nicely, and cooked perfectly.
Over all, I was very pleasantly surprised bu 99 restaurant. We cannot judge a book by it's cover, huh?

While most of you are still trying to get over the shock from the Dodgers landing Hanley Ramirez from the Miami Marlins, Ned Colletti is working around the clock to bring another bat and at least one starting pitcher to Dodgertown.
The Dodgers new ownership group made it very clear once again that they are here, ready to build a winning franchise. Though the move resembles much of the gamble that brought Manny Ramirez to the Dodgers back in 2008, it's a gamble certainly worth taking.
But that's not all, as a matter of fact, Colletti is just getting started. Rumors are flying around the web, so I am going to get you all up to date on all the latest, legit, Dodgers rumors from around the web.
Starting Pitchers: The Dodgers are currently out on Zack Greinke, but the Dodgers have an offer on the table for James Shields. The Dodgers are still optimistic about getting a deal done for Ryan Dempster after he blocked a trade to the Braves. The Dodgers are still discussing Matt Garza as well, though it's not clear who the Dodgers like most. My guess is Dempster because he would cost less in prospects. The Dodgers are still keeping tabs on Cliff Lee, Josh Johnson, and Zack Greinke just in case the aforementioned three fall through.
Outfielders: The Dodgers and Phillies have been discussing Shane Victorino. The Phillies want a Josh Lindblom for Victorino swap. However, the Dodgers want to do some more checking around before pulling the trigger on the deal. The Indians are listening to offers for Shin-Soo Choo, no word if the Dodgers have made an offer. Right now the Dodgers appear to be more interested in Victorino and Hunter Pence. The Dodgers are also said to have some interest in Carl Crawford, but his contract makes him near impossible to move. Corey Hart is somewhere in the mix as well, but most execs see Hart still in Milwaukee after the deadline.
That's it for now. Dempster is the name to watch over the next 24 hours or so. The Dodgers are said to have things lined up to make a deal for at least one starting pitcher and another bat. Not one or the other. This is actually fun for the first time in half a decade or so. Go blue!Related Posts:

I have been following this story and this teens family needs to contact someone to file a suit against these people that set her up. I think that it is sad that she was picked up and disgraced in front of her friends and teachers for absolutely no reason.
#2 Jan 19, 2008
i am missing something here, i read the dawson county news and there was no mention of any arrest or any names mentioned as to who sat rachael up. since she was scandaled and shamed, why have their names not been mentioned, or did i overlook that part in the paper?
#3 Jan 20, 2008
can someone please tell me, does the case pertaining to rachael caldwell, even though it was dropped, does someone still have to give account for a loaded glock and dope on school property? is this not a federal case?
#4 Jan 21, 2008
This unfotunate incident is just the ramification of a 35 year old dating a 17 year old,and there are two people to blame.. Rachel's parents!! They are suppose to be upstanding citizens who uphold the law with their law enforcement positions in Dawson county and here they are letting their 17 year old daughter all but shack up with a 35 year old because he appears to have money.I am a parent of a highschool girl and rachel is always bragging about how good Joe is to her and all that he buys her. Rachel is 17 and that is why I do not hold her accountable for the bad decisions she is making. God gives you parents for a reason, to protect them and make decisions for them that they are uncapable of making. While Rachel may not see the problem with dating a 35 year old man with 2 kids her parents should and it should not be allowed. As far as the gun planting goes, whoever did it should be punished to the full extent of the law!! It is gossip that his family is involved and if that is true then all the more reason for the parents to stop this relationship, but it appears that her parents are more concerned with money than justice!! And, to the 35 year old she dates.. Get out of the school yard and stop praying on teenagers!! Surely you have enough money to buy someone your own age!!
#5 Jan 21, 2008
There are a lot of kids at my school that do a lot of drugs and teachers don't even know they do it!...
#6 Jan 21, 2008
sarah, you seem so young, i hope you stay strong and stay away from drugs. its a dead end road for you and a heartbreak for your family.
#7 Jan 23, 2008
i was reading in the newspaper that rachael was really cleared and charges have been made. i am wondering if this is a state or federal case. i am thinking federal since it is school grounds and drugs involved. would someone please answer this question?

Rachael Caldwell?
She got kicked off our Basketball Team..
The gun wasn't her's but the drugs were..
I saw her at Wal-Mart the other day. Her family bailed her out for 6,000 dollars.
#9 Jan 24, 2008
Have you read the Dawson County paper? The paper says something totally different. Two men were charged with placing the dope and the gun. Im scratching my head over this one.
Since: Jan 08
#10 Jan 25, 2008
Sarah next time you see her go to her give her a big hug and tell her your sorry bout your post that the drugs were her's ok. I know her and she has never did or had drugs on her. Where did you hear that?
Gossip is fun till the facts come out then it comes with cost. Be informed with facts before you post something.

Bewildered you seem to have alot of info on the subject. Ever met or had a conversation with either of the people your talking so much about?
I know both of em well and they both think for themselves. He preys on no one just so ya know. They are close friends and i know how excited it makes you and alot of others here in Dawson to talk about what might be going on there. But who's busisness is that, theirs and her parents. You need to do your parenting and let others do theirs. Don't judge someone unless you want them to judge you. People's thoughts have always been controlled by sex, money, & power. That will never change. So i understand where your mind is Bewildered.

This is another sad case of the parents "cashing out on the kids" Caldwells parents will no doubt "get paid" on this one. Sad situation in this community. This is NOT just a sad someone done me wrong story. This is a clear case of, you play, you pay. I have been following this story as well, and the parents need to be watched on this one. Guarenteed, to be continued.

#13 Jan 25, 2008
I know some of the people involved... believe you me, this has been goin on ahwile between those two... Rachel and Joe. She wasn't just 17 when thet started up. More like 16 I think. What kind of parents thinks stautory rape by a man twice theyre daughters age is OK? My mom wouldnt even let me go out with college guys at that age! So... when does Caldwell turn 18 and how fast do the parents race to court before she up and marries her sure thing?
Since: Jan 08
#14 Jan 25, 2008
Lumpkin who do you know thats involved? Don't be shy you sure arent when it comes to your other statements. Since your in the know how many men has Rachel ever been involved with? And do those relationships shadow this potential one cause he has money, his age or is it just he's well know cause he's been around longer?
Oh by the way Lumpkin lets hear bout your sex life how's it going? And is your Mom happy with how your sex life turned out? And by sure thing i can detect you've been divorced and have a bad taste for men in your mouth from your past:) I don't know that Rachel has ever had sex but has anyone on here had sex before your 18th birthday? If you want to trash someone start with yourself. I think your all going on rumors, gossip and have absolutly no proof of anything you say.
United States
#15 Jan 25, 2008
Tap, you may do better in looking at the facts of the issue at hand than bashing other posters. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion. It seems to me at least that no individual here has tried to "trash" anyone only state what they know and feel.
It sounds to me like your expecting her to come back to you.

#16 Jan 25, 2008
I'm only 23, so far my sex life is great, thanks. Not accepting any offers, BTW! My mom... well, I try to spare her poror heart. But lets say shes definitely in the running for grandkids!:-) Never been married, never been divorced. Sorry, no bitter 40 somethign here! AND I went to college. Didnt go for my MRS, either! No, I know several people involved. For their sake, I wont' name them. But bewitched is right... rachel's daddy is a sheriff's deputy! And, if you insist on verifying what I know, wasnt rachel involved with a different older man before joe? Sorry, can't tell you EXACTLY how many men she's been with! BTW, why are you so defensive about her? Everyone around town knows about this stuff... none of it is a news flash, they never tried to hide it. What happen, you get turned down by rachel for prom?

#17 Jan 25, 2008
This is awesome!!!! Thumper1 dude- THANK YOU!
got a response tapout? Im just curious as to how this girl is a saint? and this guy and the parents are not at fault.
#18 Jan 26, 2008
I am totally confused on this issue. The young girls parents had to be well aware of the possibilities of letting her baby sit in a young, single mans home. I firmly believe that the baby sitting arrangement could have been handled in a professional way, if indeed it was just a "job" to earn extra money. What ever happened to dropping your children off, picking them up at a certain time at the young girls home. would that not have been the proper way to handle things considering her age? Could this all have not been avoided? My daughter babysat 2 small children for several years. I took her to his home, picked her up as soon as he arrived from home. If and i repeat If she was staying past time and arriving early, the parents had to know that they were "flirting with disaster." In my opinion, proper parental supervision would have made a difference in this case. He-ing and she-ing have been going on since the beginning of time. No matter how good a parent you are, you must not lose sight of this fact and expecially, have your antennas out at all times. I feel for all the heartache and embarassment that has been caused.

#19 Jan 26, 2008
No never dated her or been turned down by her. I just know her and defend her cause she needs it and shes not on here to do it for herself. If you guys are local and feel so strongly bout the way you think she lives. Why don't you pull her or her supposed boyfriend aside and have a heart to heart with them instead of talking bout them behind their backs. That looks cowardly or two faced on your part. If your too scared to speak to someones face you darn sure shouldn't talk behind their backs.
If anyone on here wants to tell me what it takes to be truly happy throughout ones lifetime. Please enlight me with your infinate wisdome. It's ok to have an opinion but i don't think it's ok to gossip and spread rumors thet may hurt someone. Like i said speak to someones face. If you really feel strongly enough bout something you should go to the source and tell them how you feel. But knowing how cowardly people are i know the gossip will always be easier.
#20 Jan 26, 2008
to tapout, do you think it was cowardly to place a gun or dope under her seat? maybe folks ought to be addressing that. who wanted her suspended and sent to a juvenile prison? she had an enemy somewhere for some reason for the persons to go to that length. wouldnt you agree?

Samurai Masterpieces Come to the Met
A day in the life of a Japanese samurai will go on view at the Metropolitan Museum of Art Wednesday.
Running through January, the exhibit, "Art of the Samurai: Japanese Arms and Armor, 1156–1868," will bring together 214 masterpieces, including 34 national treasures, 64 important cultural properties, and six important art objects, according to the museum. Armor, swords, archery equipment, firearms and equestrian equipment are some of the objects that will be part of the exhibit.
The art dates from the rise of the samurai in the late Heian period in 1156 through the modern Edo period ending in 1868, when samurai culture was abolished. The martial skills and daily life of the samurai, their lords and the ruling shoguns will also be evoked through painted scrolls and screens, according to a museum press release.
On November 8, the Met will also host a series of talks that explain how the exhibit was curated and installed.

Will Swimming Be The New Eco-Friendly Way To Commute To Work?
The LidoLine is a proposal in London to use the canals for commuting, rethinking the existing areas to make them function more efficiently for the city.
'LidoLine' is a concept for London's canals that proposes using them to get to work instead of cycling or taking public transport. While there would be some obstacles to face by swimming (like where would you put your clothes for work?), the idea is to rethink the use of existing infrastructure to make it function more efficiently for the city.
[Y/N] Studio's idea is for the routes to be formed by a breathable, multi-layered membrane that filters detritus and bacteria at decreasing scales. The 'LidoLine' would form a new network for london, offering commuters a new route. designboom reports that in the winter months a thin gauze of material could be inserted into the water, allowing it to freeze and enabling people to skate to work across the frozen surface.
The city's canals have lost their original purpose. By inserting a clean, safe 'basin' in which to swin, the 'LidoLine' flips the Regents Canal back to it's original purpose, connecting raw materials (workers) to the place of production (work), making swimming a viable alternative to cycling or walking to work.

1500 Yard Prairie Dogs
First, Steve made sure we had permission on some private land to where we could safely shoot prairie dogs beyond 2,000 yards. He also took time before I came to choose the spots and measure where we should set up our gear. Part of that preparation was to find a location where would either be shooting to the north or to the south, so we would not be required to shooting into the sun at one of the key times.
Second, we set aside three and half days for shooting, knowing that the best times would likely be in the early morning and in the late afternoon.
On a side note, I did the majority of the shooting on this trip. Steve is as unselfish as they come, and he knew that this trip was in place of what would typically be our elk hunt in the southwest part of the state. I had expected to be able to pick up a leftover cow elk permit, but there were none available for the unit we hunt.
I had a homemade portable bench and Steve had made some as well based off of the Aero-aces plans. This was one of the weak links, but they were steady enough to accomplish the task at hand. I have since made an upgrade with one of R.W Harts portable benches, and I would feel comfortable using it for a 1K match. I cant overemphasize the need for a rock-solid bench
Optics for spotting included my Leupold 12x40 variable spotting scope, while Steve had set of Big Eyes put together by Darrel Cassel. They consisted of two Bushnell Spacemaster spotting scopes and he had 22x wide angle and 20x-45x oculars. I had borrowed a heavy duty surveyors tri-pod which made for a great spotting package. Steve has recently upgraded to a set of Kowa Big Eyes, and they are awesome.
Well, Wednesday morning finally arrived and as we got out to the dog town the conditions were awesome, with the exception of the cool temps, which was a little hard on the hands for the first hour or so. I got set up with the rear grip 6.5-284 XP and adjusted the Laitala SLR mount for 1 mile shooting where there was a group of dog mounds. Steve was diligently spotting, and to my surprise located two coyotes making their way through the dog town. The range was over 1,000 yards and there was no quick way to get the rear-grip 6.5 XP into action, so I grabbed the 6mm-284 center-grip XP-100, made some quick adjustments based on range guesstimates, and sent some DTACs their way to no avail, I might add.
Since I was now close with the 6mm-284, I decided to continue shooting it. The spot we were shooting at goes across a valley to about 1000 yards, then it gently rises to about 1600, and it then flattens out, so it's hard to know from the shooting spot exactly where the mile juncture is. The following day we marked it with stakes, to avoid confusion. I began shooting at this dog that was about 15 yards to the right of a mound. I was not keeping track of shots, but I later found out that Steve was.
The conditions were holding steady and I began to get closer and closer to the prairie dog. On the tenth shot, I connected as the dog presented me with a broadside shot. The 115 grain DTAC centered his torso and exited violently out of his abdomen, taking entrails with it. He flipped around for a couple seconds, regained his senses, and started heading toward his mound, but died just short of home. You could have knocked me down with a feather. Although I believed we could kill a dog at this distance I never dreamed we would do it this quickly. The emotions I felt were surreal.
As we grabbed gear for pictures and confirming the distance, there was a sense that it was just too easy. As we got to the dog and took the bragging pictures we confirmed the distance and we came up with 1,590 yards. What made this more rewarding is that this XP has a sporter forend and barrel. With a 200 yard zero, it took 63 MOA of elevation and 8 MOA on the wind. I had accomplished with Steves help my first goal, but my second one, which was a hit at one mile, would not be so easy.
Thursdays weather was not so cooperative. We didnt get started till after lunch, and it was more typical of what one would experience when attempting one mile plus dogs. We had chosen a group of mounds that were close together and active with dogs in the 1,800 yard range. I had a third specialty handgun with me that may not be as popular as the XP-100, but nonetheless it is a shooter. It is 17 Douglas barreled MOA Maximum chambered in 6.5-284. The MOA handgun is a single-shot falling block action that allows one to change barrels quickly.
Rich Mertz is the maker of the MOA and currently lives in Sundance, Wyoming. Rich built his first ever sloped picatinny base for my excursion, but it didnt have enough MOA in it for shooting at the 1,800 yard cholla mound with the 1 VX-III Leupold 6.5-20 with dot reticle. I had to pick a spot way above the prairie dog as a means of reticle alignment. A couple of times when the conditions remained consistent I was within inches. When the three of us left the town that afternoon, the population of the town remained unchanged.
Friday brought us the type of conditions we had on Wednesday. On this day, I began using my rear-grip 6.5-284 XP-100 on the very same cholla mound as on the previous day. After sending approximately 40 rounds on that mound and Steve and my son calling a few of them just inches away again, with a couple a hair right or left, I got somewhat disgusted and began shooting at the one mile steel gong we had set up, only to realize my picatinny base had come loose (Another lesson learned). When Remington chose the thread size for the XP-100 40 plus years ago I am sure they never dreamed some nut would put a monstrous long-range mount on it and use cartridges with so much capacity. Now even a little more frustrated, I put up the 6.5-284 and went back to the 6mm-284 to shoot at the 1 mile gong. I put six shots on the steel, but it took more than six shots. When we went out to take pictures of the steel, Erik wanted to go bullet hunting. I said, "OK," and we headed to the "cholla mound."
If it had not been for a bullet hunting 11 year old, we would have missed the find of the week and it wasn't bullets, even though we found a number of them. What we found was blood, quite a bit of it at the mound I had been shooting at with the rear-grip 6.5-284. At the impact velocity the 140 A-Max in all likelihood just penciled him. Steve was so gutsy he even reached his hand into the mound to see if it was within arms reach to no avail. Several have told me since then, they would have either got a shovel or a backhoe for physical proof of the dead dog, but it was not that important for me at the time. Regardless of the lack of a warm mangled body, the proof of a hit was undeniable, unless the Hornady 140 grain A-max can bleed. Range was 1800 yards. It took 81 MOA of adjustment from a 200 yard zero to make the connection at 1,800 yards with an impact velocity of right at 1,020 feet per second.
Was there luck involved in this endeavor? Certainly, that is part of it, yet you cannot get "lucky" unless you do everything in your power to put the odds in your favor.

Bandai Entertainment, R.I.P.Submitted by Penguin Truth on Tue, 01/03/2012 - 15:11
Yesterday, anime licensor/publisher Bandai Entertainment announced that they will no longer release DVDs or Blu-Rays. According to an interview at Anime News Network with Ken Iyadomi today, the decision was made in October by parent company Namco Bandai Holdings. February will be the last month they release anime and all planned releases for after then are cancelled. Cancelled titles include Yoshiyuki Tomino-directed Turn A Gundam. Their entire manga division is also cancelled. However, they will continue to handle licensing and sub-licensing for "group companies".
