FC Dallas midfielder Dax McCarty has been named the the U.S. Olympic men's team, replacing the injured Nathan Sturgis. The 21-year old McCarty, a starter on the team that beat Canada, 3-0, to qualify for the Olympics, was himself injured this spring and was first selected as an alternate on the Olympic team, which will travel to Hong Kong on Friday for the ING Cup
always thought that the Olympics were one of the biggest sporting events in the world, and like many kids, I dreamt of one day playing in such a tournament," said McCarty. "It's obviously not the
ideal way to be called up. You never wish injury upon anyone."
McCarty says he has gotten over the shock news. "It's an honor," he said, "and I was speechless when I found out. I just
want to help the team out anyway possible and hopefully help us win a medal."

Plot Summary
Plot: Young homicide detective/psychologist, Alex Cross meets his match in serial killer, Picasso. The two face off in a high-stakes game of cat and mouse, but when the mission gets personal, Cross is pushed to the edge of his moral and psychological limits. The story takes Cross back to his origins as a Detroit police detective as he works with his partner, Tommy Kane. The two work with detective Monica Ashe in the chase for the serial murderer. Picasso's ultimate target is Detroit-based multi-national Giles Mercier, but what appears as obvious, is anything but, as Cross has to try to get into a killer's head to anticipate what could be next and to check the violent urges that Picasso has brought out in him.

Note to politicians and bureaucrats: Lead, follow or get out of the way
C.B. Forgotston - Oct 19, 2006
Why is it that only politicians and government bureaucrats have the solutions to big problems in Louisiana?
There are usually two ways to fix problems. The easy way and government's way. Yet we continue to look to government to solve our problems.

Onguma Bush Camp: Our full report
Bordering Fischer's Pan, on the eastern side of Etosha National Park, the private Onguma Game Reserve covers 34km2. The recently enlarged Onguma Bush Camp lies within and makes a good base from which to explore the eastern side of the national park.
Onguma Bush Camp is one of five lodges within the small game reserve, which also incorporates Onguma Tented Camp, Onguma Tree Tops, Onguma Etosha Aoba Camp and Onguma Plains . Significantly, the Bush Camp is the only one of these to be fully fenced – bar three of its newest rooms.
During 2012, Onguma Bush Camp was refurbished and significantly enlarged to create a smart-looking lodge with 18 rooms, bringing it more in line with the other Onguma properties. All rooms are air-conditioned and have mosquito nets over the beds. Each is also equipped with a tea and coffee station, hairdryer and ceiling fan.
The rooms are divided into several types:
- Six standard twin rooms are built in a terrace with seating in front of each room on the shared veranda and views over the lovely manicured garden. All have twin beds in the main room, but otherwise their layout differs. Three of the rooms include a loft area for children and sharing a bathroom with the main bedroom.
- Three family rooms have two separate bedrooms with a shared bathroom and small lounge area.
- Two standard rooms have similar facilities, with twin beds, but are slightly larger than the others and are located in individual thatched rondavels.
- Six Waterhole-/Pool-View rooms are the same size as the standard twin rooms, and are the latest addition to Onguma Bush Camp. Unique within the Bushcamp, the Waterhole-view rooms are set in an unfenced area overlooking the newly enlarged waterhole. As a result, you get the feeling of being in the bush with plains game such as the black-faced impala and common duiker often seen at the waterhole. However, because of the lack of fences, these rooms are not recommended for children.
- One Settler's Room (formerly the honeymoon suite).
At the entrance to the main area of Onguma Bush Camp is the large reception area with a curio shop. Along shaded paved pathways, you will find the 'lapa' (an open-sided thatched area) that contains a dining area and bar plus split-level lounge areas, all with views of the waterhole. In addition, there is a games room for children, while across the lawn is a sparkling swimming pool with shaded sunloungers and a platform overlooking the waterhole.
Activities from Onguma Bush Camp include morning drives in Etosha National Park, plus sundowner drives and after-dinner night drives on the Onguma Reserve. The landscape here is like that of eastern Etosha, a mix of pans, woodland and open plains, grazed by impala, oryx, wildebeest and springbok. These in turn attract the predators such as lion and leopard, and rhino are present too – but sightings are never guaranteed! Alternatively, you can easily drive yourself into Etosha National Park, as the entrance to the reserve is just metres from the park entrance.
Our viewOnguma is the only fenced camp on the Onguma Reserve and because of this, it is the best option here for families travelling with younger children. Because of its convenient access to the Etosha National Park, it can be a great base from which to explore the park.
Location: Etosha National Park, Namibia
Ideal length of stay: A two- or three-night stay is ideal here.
Directions: Onguma Bush Camp is located on the Onguma Reserve, just outside Etosha National Park's eastern gate.
Accessible by: Self-drive or Fly-and-Transfer
Food & drink
Usual board basis: Half Board
Food quality: A tasty buffet breakfast includes the usual breads, muffins, cereal, cold meat and cheese, yoghurt, fruit and juice, with tea and coffee. A hot breakfast cooked to order is available too.
We did not have lunch on our recent visit but the camp offers a choice of light lunches such as salads or sandwiches.
We thought dinner here was of a good standard. It is usually a set menu of three courses; we had lentil soup followed by eland steak served with sweet potatoes, carrot and cauliflower. To round it off we enjoyed a delicious peppermint cheesecake.
Dining style: Individual Tables
Dining locations: Indoor and Outdoor Dining
Cost of meal e.g. lunch: £5-10
Drinks included: No drinks are included.
Further dining info: No
Attitude towards children: Onguma Bush Camp welcomes children of all ages.
Property's age restrictions: There are no age restrictions here.
Special activities & services: There is a special games room for children and a children's menu is available. Child-minding can be provided on request at no additional cost, but please note that the minder may not have professional childminding qualifications.
Equipment: Baby cots and high chairs can be provided.
Generally recommended for children: Onguma Bush Camp is the only fenced camp on the Onguma Reserve and is the best lodge here for families travelling with children. That said, activities still revolve around game drives, with few chances to get off the vehicle; this may not retain the attention of smaller children very well.
Notes: Although Onguma Bush Camp is fenced, children must be under parental supervision at all times.
Power supply: Mains Electricity

Commentary on Ge, P.; Tsao, J.; Schein, S.; Green, T.J.; Luo, M.; Zhou, Z.H. Cryo-EM model of the bullet-shaped vesicular stomatitis virus.
Most viruses are either helical or icosahedral in structure. The two highly symmetric shapes permit viruses to use the same component protein multiple times to create large structures from a minimum number of distinct protein species. The strategy conserves the amount of genetic material viruses need to encode structural proteins.
Although the two basic shapes serve the needs of viruses more or less equally well, structural biologists have had a much easier time determining the structures of the icosahedra. For example, while more than one hundred high resolution structures of icosahedral viruses are now available, the number of comparable helical virus structures is limited to helical plant viruses such as tobacco mosaic virus and filamentous bacteriophage such as
It's not as though helical animal and human viruses are of limited interest. Just the opposite. They include influenza virus plus members of the paramyxo-, rhabdo- bunya-, corona, filo- and arenavirus families, all of which contain important human pathogens. The problem is that structural analysis of these viruses is unusually difficult. The protein-RNA complex is often disordered or weakly ordered in the virion, and the viruses have a membrane, a structure that complicates both crystallization and electron microscopic analysis.
To advance our knowledge of helical virus structure, investigators have focused their attention on the rhabdoviruses, a family of bullet-shaped viruses that includes rabies and vesicular stomatitis viruses (VSV). Rhabdoviruses have a helical nucleocapsid that is well ordered over most of the virion length. Although a membrane is present, it is tightly wrapped around the nucleocapsid, and does not obscure the helix in electron micrographs of the virion (see images of VSV in Figures 1a and 1b). With such excellent images, one would think it would be a simple matter to compute a three-dimensional reconstruction by standard Fourier-Bessel-based methods. No structure has been forthcoming, however, despite the best efforts of many highly talented structural biologists—until now.
Electron micrographs illustrating VSV structure and assembly.
Using electron micrographs of VSV preserved in the frozen-hydrated state and a real space reconstruction method, Ge
VSV is a typical rhabdovirus with a bullet shape, a length of ~190 nm and a diameter of 85 nm. At the core of the virion is the minus sense ssRNA genome bound to N protein. The RNA is 11,161 nucleotides in length, and it is tightly but non-covalently attached to N protein (MW 47.5 kDa; 422 amino acids) creating the nucleocapsid. Each N molecule encapsidates nine nucleotides of the RNA with 1240 N molecules expected in the overall helical structure. In the intact virion, the nucleocapsid helix is organized into ~35 helical turns with ~38 N protein subunits/turn in the trunk region (but smaller numbers in the domed end).
The entire nucleocapsid is enclosed in a mono-molecular layer of the matrix protein, M (29 kDa; 229 amino acids; 1826 molecules/virion). M protein is thought to create the precise structure of the nucleocapsid helix in the virion as the nucleocapsid is un-structured in the absence of M [
VSV assembles by budding at the host cell cytoplasmic membrane. Assembly is initiated by interaction of the nucleocapsid with a specialized region of membrane containing M and G proteins [
Second, the reconstruction was computed using the iterative helical real space reconstruction (IHRSR) method developed by our colleague Ed Egelman at the University of Virginia [
Interpretive drawings illustrating the new VSV structure.
The reliability of the reconstruction was tested by docking two available X-ray crystallographic structures, the N protein-RNA complex [
VSV structure was shown to consist of two, single, concentric helices, one composed of N protein and RNA (the nucleocapsid) and the other a helically arrayed layer of M. The nucleocapsid helix has outer and inner diameters of 45.0 nm and 30.8 nm, respectively, with layers spaced 5.08 nm apart along the helical axis. There are 37.5 N protein molecules per turn with 75 in the repeating unit (Figure 2b). Each N protein is tilted 27° with respect to the horizontal plane, an un-anticipated feature of the new structure. Individual turns of the nucleocapsid are not tightly bound to each other, a finding that rationalizes the observation that the N-RNA helix is un-structured in the absence of M protein [
Each turn of the M protein helix lies in the space between two turns of the nucleocapsid helix making contact with both and holding them together (
In order for rhabdovirus RNA synthesis to take place
A long-standing enigma of rhabdovirus biology is how the viral RNA can function as a template for RNA synthesis despite being tightly bound by N protein. Available evidence indicates that in the nucleocapsid, RNA is resistant to nuclease digestion, even when transcription is in progress [
The location of the G protein was not revealed in the reconstruction reported. This result was expected, and suggests that the glycoprotein trimers are not arranged with the same helical symmetry as the nucleocapsid-M complex. Further analysis will be required to localize the glycoprotein. Although the new structure accounts for one M protein bound to each N, there is additional M protein in the virion. The experimental copy number for M is 1826 [
In addition to N, M and G, VS virions contain P and L proteins, the remaining two proteins encoded in the genome. L is the RNA-dependent RNA polymerase responsible for replication and transcription of the VSV genome while P tethers L to the nucleocapsid. Both proteins are considered to be located in the axial channel of the VS virion, but no candidate features were seen in the current reconstructed volume. There is good evidence for binding of P to the N protein [
In view of the success with VSV, one can expect that the methods employed by Ge
Like other important structural advances, the work reported here makes very specific predictions about the amino acid sequences involved in protein-protein contacts. M-N, M-M and M-G contacts are examples. Such predictions are amenable to experimental testing with mutants, and one can anticipate that relevant mutational analyses will be forthcoming; they have the potential to authenticate the structure and add to its usefulness. In fact, a start on this effort is reported by Ge
For now it is worth taking time to enjoy the new VSV structure and to congratulate the authors for their skill and ingenuity in computing it. Such reflection may allow us to hope that at last we have the tools to make further progress into understanding the structures of helical viruses.

Cord-cutting sports fans that get their soccer fix through Chinese P2P apps are the new pet peeve of the U.S. Trade Representative, whose office publishes an annual report about countries with lax copyright enforcement called the Special 301 Report. This year's edition, which just came out (PDF), makes special mention of of live sports piracy online, and recommends that countries like China and the Netherlands should step up their efforts to combat this type of piracy.
The timing of this isn't entirely accidental. NBC's decision to lock down its online coverage of the Winter Olympics behind a pay TV wall seems to have prompted many users to look for alternative ways to watch the games online. We did an admittedly completely unscientific poll earlier this year, and 10 percent of our readers told us that they used P2P services, live streaming sites or proxy servers to follow the Olympics.
The Special 301 Report is meant to put pressure on countries to commit to international treaties and institute as well as enforce stricter intellectual property laws. A big part of the report is dedicated to physical goods piracy as well as counterfeiting, bit torrent sites, live streaming and other forms of online piracy have been playing a bigger role in recent years. From the report:
"Unauthorized retransmission of live sports telecasts over the Internet continues to be a growing concern in many countries, particularly China, and 'linking sites,' many reportedly based in the Netherlands, are exacerbating the problem."
The report later singles out the Chinese P2P TV app TV Ants as being "a notorious hub of online piracy with respect to sporting event telecasts." However, TV Ants is incorrectly called a website. The actual website offering the TV Ants application for download seems to be down right now, but it is unclear whether this is related to it being singled out in this report.
Also mentioned in the report are Korean file hosters, commonly known as webhard services. The Special 301 report previously singled out torrent sites like The Pirate Bay in an effort to put pressure on countries like Sweden, but it fails to do so this time around, despite the fact that millions of people continue to use the Bay to swap files.

Is A Doll's House a play about feminism or humanism?
- print Print
- list Cite
1 Answer
This play is commonly associated with feminism, but it can be more accurately described as a play about humanism as humanism relates to human dignity (regardless of gender) and identity.
Nora reaches a crisis point in her identity and in her dignity in this play, discovering the inadequacy of her role as mother and wife as it stands. She feels she must find a way to create her own identity, one that is worthy of respect. Living with Helmer, Nora has been patronized and belittled and her opinions have been fed to her by her husband.
When Nora realizes the inequity of her situation, she also recognizes her own self worth.
However, though Nora rebels against Helmer's patronizing attitude and claims a new identity in the end, she is only one of two female characters in the play.
Mrs. Linde is quite opposite of Nora in her relationship to the standards of femininity. Mrs. Linde embraces her role as caretaker, expressing a lack of fulfillment when she has no one to look after. She also works, gaining a position at the bank. She is not subject ot the same assumptions of weakness that hamper Nora.
Seeing that each female character relates to the notions of feminism and to accepted social roles differently, we can hardly argue that this play is a one-sided promotion for the progressive values of feminism. Rather, the play expresses a consistent view on the value of dignity in one's character and the need for identity to be founded on positive choices, which defines humanism.
Mrs. Linde chooses her path. Nora chooses her path as well, in the end.

18th century
Compound twill brocade (Karaori): silk and metallic thread
L. in back: 146 cm (57 1/2 in.); with neck: H. 159 cm (62 5/8 in.); overall: W. 131.5 cm (51 3/4 in.); sleeve: approx. 35 cm (13 13/16 in.); front shoulder: approx. 21 cm (8 1/4 in.); neck band (eri): 12.5 cm (4 15/16 in.); back panel: 31 cm (12 3/16 in.)
Gift of Mrs. Jared K. Morse
Elaborate, eye-catching costumes are crucial to Noh theatre. The costumes originated in the clothing of the fourteenth-century Japanese elite. Aristocratic families and the warrior class patronized Noh troops and gave them robes for support. Aristocrats sometimes even threw their outer garments onto the stage after performances to show their appreciation. The robe here consists of three different fabrics, recycled from karaori (stiff, thick textile for kimonos) and sewn together into a dazzling Noh costume whose metallic threads glint in the light. The wide body of the costume suggests that it may date from the eighteenth century.

I love the holiday season. Families unite, stores stay open late, the hustle and bustle, and best of all, this is the time when many families invite me into their homes for annual family portraits. In this case, I was invited to the Kim residence in Beverly Hills to document baby Joshua's first Christmas! It was so sweet to see how much joy baby Joshua brings to everyone, especially grandpa!
Michelle wanted some formal family photos so that she can enlarge as a gift to her parents-in-law. What a thoughtful gift!
Jonathan took some photos of the "behind the scenes" that I thought was halarious and just had to share. I love the different perspectives.
This one especially cracks me up!
I love this photo of the boys:
And this next photo just melts my heart. Seeing how affectionate grandpa is towards Joshua makes me miss my grandpa and want to make my father a grandpa… but he'll just have to wait at least another year. 😛
And little Joshua with little Cocoa:
And then time for some shots in his birth day suit!
And then some Christmas theme photos. Michelle had these gorgeous ornaments:
And of course I had to play with twinkle lights! You can't have the holidays without twinkle lights!
And I love the way he's interacting with his grandfather here:
Thank you Michelle & Kevin for letting me be part of your family this weekend. Joshua is so precious and I look forward to watching him grow.
Have a great Thanksgiving everyone! I hope you all get to celebrate with your loved ones and have the opportunity to tell them how much you appreciate them!

Prioria receives city permission to lease space
Published: Wednesday, June 12, 2013 at 5:52 p.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, June 12, 2013 at 5:52 p.m.
From last summer into February, the city spent $2.6 million to turn a 22,000-square-foot warehouse into the headquarters for Prioria Robotics, a move that helped keep the Gainesville-bred designer and manufacturer of drones in the city.
The state, city and county approved tax rebates for Prioria contingent on future job creation.
Gov. Rick Scott visited the building in October to tout the state's recovering economy. Then-Mayor Craig Lowe said Prioria was a sign of the city's innovation efforts, and vital to the redevelopment of the former Gainesville Regional Utilities complex along Depot Avenue — dubbed the Power District.
Now, four months after moving into its new home, Prioria finds itself with nearly half the building empty and looking to generate money by bringing in tenants.
The company last week received permission from the City Commission to potentially sublease up to 10,000 square feet to other technology firms or outfits that comply with the city's plans for the Power District.
Before the unanimous commission vote last Thursday to approve the lease changes, City Manager Russ Blackburn told commissioners the company had expected to need that space soon after it signed the lease.
"It is my understanding they thought expansions were imminent," Blackburn said. "Some of those expansions have not come about in the time they anticipated."
Prioria Chief Executive Officer Bryan da Frota said the change to the lease agreement gives the company "flexibility" to bring in revenues and cover the building's operating costs.
"The economy being what it is we just wanted to have the flexibility to defray costs," da Frota said.
A city staff report on Prioria's request said the company's business was contract-based and its workforce "expands and contracts in response to the specific needs of current contracts."
Da Frota said the company has in the range of 30 to 40 employees. When the City Commission approved a future tax rebate tied to job creation in September 2011, the company had 35 employees, according the application for incentives.
The Qualified Target Industry incentive for which Prioria has received approval would pay a tax rebate of up to $400,000 if the company creates 40 high-paying jobs over four years.
The state would pay out 80 percent of that incentive, or up to $320,000, and the city and county would pay up to $40,000 or 10 percent each.
At this point, the city has not received final word from the state on whether Prioria has met the job creation requirements for the first year of that QTI incentive, according to Economic Development & Innovation Director Erik Bredfeldt.
Under the lease terms, Prioria pays the city $23,375 a month, with that amount slated to increase by 3 percent annually.
Commissioner Todd Chase, who last year wanted the city to finance the renovation and opposed the decision to take $2.6 million out of reserves, said the need for an amendment four months into a seven-year lease should be a lesson to the city.
"As we go forward with this innovation economy and this Power District, the euphoria and excitement is contagious and it's almost addictive," Chase said. "But our government should not and cannot in the future be in the game of high-risk, early-stage startup stuff."

London, UK (SPX) May 19, 2014
Scientists have discovered new evidence to suggest that lightning on Earth is triggered not only by cosmic rays from space, but also by energetic particles from the Sun.
University of Reading researchers found a link between increased thunderstorm activity on Earth and streams of high-energy particles accelerated by the solar wind, offering compelling evidence that particles from space help trigger lightning bolts.
Publishing their study in IOP Publishing's journal Environmental Research Letters, researchers from Reading's Department of Meteorology found a substantial and significant increase in lightning rates across Europe for up to 40 days after the arrival of high-speed solar winds, which can travel at more than a million miles per hour, into the Earth's atmosphere.
A summary of the findings can be found in the associated Video Abstract.
Although the exact mechanism that causes these changes remains unknown, the researchers propose that the electrical properties of the air are somehow altered as the incoming charged particles from the solar wind collide with the atmosphere.
The results could prove useful for weather forecasters, since these solar wind streams rotate with the Sun, sweeping past the Earth at regular intervals, accelerating particles into Earth's atmosphere. As these streams can be tracked by spacecraft, this offers the potential for predicting the severity of hazardous weather events many weeks in advance.
Lead author of the study, Dr Chris Scott, said: "Our main result is that we have found evidence that high-speed solar wind streams can increase lightning rates. This may be an actual increase in lightning or an increase in the magnitude of lightning, lifting it above the detection threshold of measurement instruments.
"Cosmic rays, tiny particles from across the Universe accelerated to close to the speed of light by exploding stars, have been thought to play a part in thundery weather down on Earth, but our work provides new evidence that similar, if lower energy, particles created by our own Sun also affect lightning.
"As the Sun rotates every 27 days these high-speed streams of particles wash past our planet with predictable regularity. Such information could prove useful when producing long-range weather forecasts."
Professor Giles Harrison, head of Reading's Department of Meteorology and co-author of the ERL article, said: "In increasing our understanding of weather on Earth we are learning more about its important links with space weather. Bringing the topics of Earth Weather and Space Weather ever closer requires more collaborations between atmospheric and space scientists, in which the University of Reading is already leading the way."
To arrive at their results, the researchers analysed data on the strikes of lightning over the UK between 2000 and 2005, which was obtained from the UK Met Office's lightning detection system. They restricted their data to any event that occurred within a radius of 500 km from central England.
The record of lightning strikes was compared with data from Nasa's Advanced Composition Explorer (ACE) spacecraft, which lies between the Sun and the Earth and measures the characteristics of solar winds.
After the arrival of a solar wind at the Earth, the researchers showed there was an average of 422 lightning strikes across the UK in the following 40 days, compared to an average of 321 lightning strikes in the 40 days prior the arrival of the solar wind. The rate of lightning strikes peaked between 12 and 18 days after the arrival of the solar wind.
The solar wind consists of a constant stream of energetic particles-mainly electrons and protons-that are propelled from the Sun's atmosphere at around a million miles per hour. The streams of particles can vary in density, temperature and speed and sweep past Earth every 27 days or so, in line with the time it takes the Sun to make one complete rotation relative to the Earth.
The Earth's magnetic field provides a sturdy defence against the solar wind, deflecting the energetic particles around the planet; however, if a fast solar stream catches up with a slow solar stream, it generates an enhancement in both the material and the associated magnetic field.
In these instances, the energetic particles can have sufficient energies to penetrate down into the cloud-forming regions of the Earth's atmosphere and subsequently affect the weather that we experience.
"We propose that these particles, while not having sufficient energies to reach the ground and be detected there, nevertheless electrify the atmosphere as they collide with it, altering the electrical properties of the air and thus influencing the rate or intensity at which lightning occurs," said Dr Scott.
The increase in the rate of lightning after the arrival of solar winds was corroborated by a significant increase in the days in which thunder was heard, which were recorded at UK Met Office stations around the UK.

Web sites have the ability to capture pieces of information about their visitors. The site knows the type of browser you're using, and its version number. It knows your operating system. And it knows your IP (Internet Protocol) number.
The first two are not a problem. Sites want to know your browser type so they deliver pages that work correctly with it. The same goes for your operating system. But the IP number raises privacy issues.
There are two types of IP numbers — public and private. A public IP number is unique. Like a telephone number, no one else has it. There are places on the Internet where you can identify the owner of an IP number. Conceivably, your visits to questionable Web sites could come back to haunt you.
The public IP number is actually an address. Public numbers are registered, so that Web servers know where to find them.
You have probably seen these numbers — their form is 255.255.255.255 (that is, four numbers between zero and 255, separated by dots). For instance, the IP for my Web site, www.komando.com, is 220.127.116.11. If you enter http://188.8.131.52, you'll get to my site.
When you go to the Internet from home, you carry an IP number assigned to you by your Internet service provider. This generally is a public number. If you're using a dial-up modem, you probably are given a different or dynamic number each time you connect to the Net. But if you have broadband, you might have a permanent or static number.
Individual business computers are often better shielded. If you are on a network, the public number is assigned to a gateway. That is usually a company firewall or router.
The company system assigns a different set of numbers to internal computers. Those are private numbers, rather than public. They do not have to be exclusive; the guy down the street could be using the same numbers. Only the public number, which is assigned to your gateway, is exclusive.
Individual computers behind the firewall or router are not immediately identifiable. The IP number read by Web sites belongs to the firewall or router. But that doesn't mean the individual computer can't be identified. Company officials can track them. If an illegal act were committed with one of the computers, its identity could be learned through a subpoena.
Services such as Anonymizer (anonymizer.com) and Orangatango (orangatango.com) let subscribers hide their IP numbers when surfing the Web. These services encrypt and reroute subscriber's Web travels through their proxy servers. This way, sites cannot track a user's information. The cost is around $4 per month, or less when signing up for a year.
If you want to know what information you're disclosing to Web sites, use Privacy.net's analysis tool (privacy.net/analyze). Most people don't worry about disclosing this data, assuming they know about it. So much data is maintained on us that this seems pretty minor. And, other than IP numbers, it isn't personal.

Vixen Outlaw VixSkin Realistic Silicone Dildo 9 Inch
The Best Toy I've Ever Had
Reviewed: 24 June 2016 by CuteNaughtyBoy, a Gay Single Male
Outlaw is by far the absolute most satisfying toy I have ever experienced. It is my go-to toy. I've bought toys before and after I purchased my Outlaw, but it always goes back to this toy. The material is very safe and does not react to my anus like other less premium toys have.
It is at least for me the perfect large size that my body can accommodate comfortably and willingly. I've bought larger toys but the dimensions always are too much, and quite honestly once your receive them through the mail they are essentially non-human proportions. This toy I see as being definitely a large cock, but not so large as to the point that the human anatomy is being compromised.
Also, if you're worried about it not having a suction cup base, I found a solution for that. What you'll need is a wreath suction cup with the little half-loop on top and one of those jelly bracelets that are often handed out at promotional events. Simply lube the bracelet, slip it though the loop into its other half, then slide it down to the base. You're good to go. What's also great about this is if you are aggressive you aren't hitting your bum against some detail balls or such that most toys have.
In summation, I cannot recommend this toy any more highly for those looking for a large cock. I love my toy and I hope this review helps your decision making.
- Pros
- Size, material, shape.
- Cons
- There is nothing that I did not like about this product.
- Bottom line
- Only toy I'll ever need, for real.

Incredible, heavenly dildo!
Reviewed: 29 May 2016 by Sex Squid
Okay, let me get a minor grumble out of the way first! Unsurprisingly for a £100 dildo there's only a small handful of reviews, and the ratings are hit and miss due to one or two who complain that the Outlaw is too big. I could understand if there were other issues, but to score it as poor purely on the size, when the measurements are upfront and clearly on the product page makes no sense to me. Seems like a case of eyes bigger than orifice! Oh well...
What you have here then is the largest dildo from Vixen Creations. Being a huge fan of their incredible dual-density VixSkin, I now have four Vixens; two Mustangs, the Johnny and now the Outlaw. Let it be known that the Johnny is significantly thicker than the Mustangs, and the Outlaw dwarfs the Johnny. It's 6.25" thick and a massive 9" long. If you fancy yourself as Hatchet Harry from Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels, you'd have no problem beating a henchman to death with this!
We've established it's big, then. So is it too big? Well, no. If you follow the basic rules of patience, building up over time, and using enough lube to drown a kitten then it's amazing what the body can accommodate.
The Outlaw has the same incredible life-like feel as the other Vixens; it's squishy, it's core is firm, it's beautiful to look at. I find that the squishiness of the head makes it more comfortable to both insert and ride. I still find it necessary to warm up with a plug first. If I thought the Johnny filled me up anally, the Outlaw is something else. Just feeling it slide home nearly makes me cum on the spot, and after relaxing and adjusting to its size, you can build up to gentle thrusting. Eventually I get so worked up I can thrust it into me, hard and fast, and end up having full-body orgasms. Every. Single. Time. My brain and legs turn to jelly, and I can barely stand afterwards, let alone walk.
I'm yet to be pegged using this, but a harness with a larger O-ring is on the cards. In the meantime, it's weighty enough to ride, even without a suction cup.
With the Vixen Outlaw inside me, I'm in heaven!
- Pros
- It's unbelievable. Gives me full-body orgasms which leave me shaking!
- Cons
- Nothing.
- Bottom line
- Imagine the Vixen tie-dye Mustang, but 10x better!

A real badboy
Reviewed: 26 April 2008 by ancafe2008, a Bisexual Single Female
I got this in the post this morning. I'd heard a lot of good things about Vixen toys, so I decided to give it a go.
This is much smaller than any of my other dildos.
But despite this I really enjoyed it.
It worried me at first how soft it was, but once we started using it that wasn't a problem.
It fits in our harness perfectly (we have a harness with an O ring)
If feels a little odd to touch, but when its wet with lube or water it feels disturbingly real.
And that's what makes it so wonderful. If it wasn't for the length I would have sworn it was by partner and not the strap on.
Even washing it afterwards was great. Feeling the realistic material in my hands was a real turn on, we ended up using it again. Does that make me weird?
Ah well..If you're looking for the most realistic feeling dildo on the market give this a try.
It's made of 100% silicone which makes it easy to clean.
Wash with soap and water, boil for 3 mins or stick it in your dishwasher (just not on when your family will find it)
And make sure you store it standing up to keep its shape.
And most importantly, enjoy!
- Pros
- Feels so real. Good length and just thick enough to satisfy even the size queens out there. Nice choice of colours.
- Cons
- There's nothing bad.
- Bottom line
- This is a toy you'll be using again and again....good thing it comes with a life time warranty!

Rangaraju, R and Bhaumik, SK and Bhaskaran, TA and Venkataswamy, MA and Parameswara, MA and Sujata, M (2003) Failure analysis of LPT rotor blades of an aeroengine. Project Report. National Aerospace Laboratories, Bangalore.Full text not available from this repository. (Request a copy)
One fractured LPT rotor blade (XRXA 113) along with few cracked blades (XRXA 112, XRXA 139 and XRXA 101) of an aeroengine were forwarded to the laboratory for analysis. Investigation revealed that blade Nos. XRXA 112 and XRXA 113 failed by fatigue. Crack in other two blades were shallow and confined to the coating layer, and the nature of these cracks could not be determined. They appeared to be secondary in nature and subsequent to the primary failure. The fatigue in blade Nos. XRXA 112 and XRXA 113 is of high cycle – low stress type. Vibration appears to be the most probable reason for fatigue crack initiation. There were no defects either in the coating or in the blade material. Also, there was no overheating of the blade.

PDF File Journal: A Review of Canaloplasty. Abstract Canaloplasty is a method of lowering intraocular pressure (IOP) by which a flexible, bea- con-tipped microcatheter equipped with an ophthalmic viscosurgical device (OVD) delivery system is used to catheterize and introduce a suture into Schlemm's canal. Ligation of this suture provides tension on the canal and facilitates aqueous outflow. Canaloplasty is designed to be a blebless pro- cedure that requires no antifibrotic agents and has been shown to safely and effectively lower IOP in patients with open-angle glaucoma (OAG) with minimal complications

I did it!! I ran the London Marathon!! April 2016
What an amazing experience... Having never ran more than a mile or 2 in my life, it felt incredible to run the London Marathon and finish in 4 hours 54 minutes. With just 16 weeks training it was never going to be easy, but I achieved my aim of running the whole way and I loved every minute! Thanks for all the support. I've raised almost £2000 for the NSPCC in the process and it's not too late to donate if you'd like to - please see previous post for the link to my 'just giving' page.

How often should I have my son brush his teeth?
My 7 year old I is now starting to grow his permanent teeth, how often should I have him brush without bruising his exposed gums?
25th June 2014 06:25 AM #2
Hi Lorraine,
It should be twice a day for two minutes each time and at this age it is best if you closely supervise/ help him. Use a pea-sized amount of toothpaste. Does your son see the dentist regularly? Keeping sugary food to a minimum really helps to avoid cavities.
I hope this helps - please post back if you have any further questions on this important topic.
Warm wishes,

Hello LJ.
Thank you for your reply. We do see our dentist regularly, two times a year and she did advice on having him brush twice a day. Most of the time, I'll have him brush longer than 2 minutes and now I think that is too long.
Thanks again!
26th June 2014 01:22 AM #4
Yes if his gums are hurting then you can be a bit more flexible with teethbrushing on these days. Does he use anything to help with his gums?

What he uses is just his kiddie toothbrush and toothpaste. I believe I need to shorten the brushing time and teach him how to do it gently.
Thanks LJ!

I was going to suggest a soft toothbrush and possibly changing the toothpaste brand?
Hope his gums respond quickly.

Wide receiver/tight end prospect Sammie Epps (Greenwood, Miss./Greenwood) committed Wednesday to sign with Ole Miss, the Jackson Clarion-Ledger reports.
"When we talked about it, he's always been a fan of Ole Miss," Greenwood coach Clinton Gatewood said. "I told him if Ole Miss likes you are you going to commit to them, and he said 'I know I am.' He's always liked what they've been doing. He loved the atmosphere, loved the kids. He's very familiar with the coaching staff."
Last fall, the 6-foot-3, 215-pound Epps caught 33 passes for 401 yards (12.2 average) and three touchdowns. A two-way contributor, Epps also registered 30 total tackles and four interceptions on defense.
Before his junior year, Epps posted a 5.03 in the 40-yard dash, a 4.40 20-yard shuttle and 30.2-inch vertical at a Nike Combine.
Ole Miss now has six high school commitments for 2014, all coming from inside state lines.

Shortly after yesterday's announcement of Rep. Tom DeLay's (R-Tex) indictment for alleged campaign finance violations, the mainstream media began doing reports on the subject with largely similar content. A memo written by Democratic National Committee Chairman Howard Dean posted at the Democratic Party's website almost immediately after the announcement was made contained virtually the same "hotbuttons" as those subsequently raised in media accounts of the story.
What follows is a copy of that memo, along with comparisons to what has since been reported by leading media outlets on this subject:
DNC Chairman Dean on DeLay Indictment
September 28, 2005
Washington, DC - Today, a Texas grand jury returned a criminal indictment against House GOP Leader Tom DeLay on a charge of conspiracy. Democratic National Committee Chairman Howard Dean issued the following statement, saying DeLay's indictment is symptomatic of the Republicans' culture of corruption in Washington, DC:
"Today, the state of Texas is doing what the Republican-controlled federal government has failed repeatedly to do, which is hold Republicans in Washington accountable for their culture of corruption. This alleged illegal activity reaches to the highest levels of the Republican Party.
"With House Republican Leader Tom DeLay under criminal indictment, Senate Republican Leader Frist facing SEC and Department of Justice investigations, and White House Deputy Chief of Staff Karl Rove under investigation, the Republican leadership in Washington is now spending more time answering questions about ethical misconduct than doing the people's business."
"Tom DeLay is neither the beginning nor the end of the Washington Republicans' ethical problems. America can do better than leaders who use their power to promote their own personal interests instead of the interests of the American people who elected them. We simply must change the way business is done in Washington."
The key points in this memo are:
DeLay's behavior is symptomatic of a Republican culture of corruption
- This alleged illegal activity goes to the highest levels of the Republican Party
- Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist (R-Tenn) is a possible example of such corruption
- White House Deputy Chief of Staff Karl Rove is another possible example
Coincidentally or not, no fewer than eight of America's leading media outlets have filed reports concerning DeLay's indictment that included some or all of the key points made by Dean in his DNC memo:
1. CBS's Gloria Borger reported yesterday: "But, on the other hand, they're nervous because Democrats have been talking about something they call 'the abuse of power', and of course this DeLay indictment fits into the abuse of power. There have also been questions about other Republicans including Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist, including Karl Rove, a top aide to the president over at the White House. And, they're afraid that this plays into that political talking point for the Democrats."
2. Moments after the announcement, CNN's Bill Schneider said the following on "Live From…": "Well, look, there are corruption scandals in Washington all the time. There are a number of them now that surround Republicans. There's a controversy over Bill Frist, the leader of the Senate. There was a member of the president's Office of Management and Budget who was recently arrested for his criminal activities associated with Jack Abramoff, who's under investigation. I think we can say that the Democrats are looking forward to raising the corruption issue, the scandal issue, in the midterm election next year. And of course Tom DeLay, the majority leader of the House of Representatives, could not be a juicier target for Democrats."
3. Chip Reid on NBC's "Nightly News" last evening said: "The indictment came days after an investigation of senate leader Bill Frist for insider trading. Frist denies the accusations but Democrats are using the dual investigations to ratchet up their campaign accusing Republicans of a culture of corruption. I don't think the corruption issue alone can sink the Republican majorities in the House or Senate but it can be a real contributing factor."
On the same broadcast, "Meet the Press's" Tim Russert said: "Within hours of the indictment, this e-mail was sent to Democratic contributors. And it says that Tom DeLay was indicted. Bill Frist is under investigation. The White House is under investigation for the C.I.A. leak."
4. Ron Fournier of the Associated Press wrote yesterday: "Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist, R-Tenn., faces federal investigations into his stock sales. "A former White House official was arrested last week in the investigation of Jack Abramoff, a high-powered lobbyist and fundraiser. In a direct threat to the White House, a federal prosecutor is investigating the disclosure of a CIA agent's identify. Two years ago, the White House denied that Bush confidant Karl Rove played any role, but revelations in recent months have shown that the deputy chief of staff spoke with two journalists about the operative. Whether Bush knew the truth while the White House was issuing its denials is not publicly known."
5. Robin Toner in the New York Times wrote today: "In the Senate, Republican ranks have been roiled this week by an investigation of Senator Bill Frist, the majority leader, who is under scrutiny for his stock dealings from a blind trust."
"At the same time, the White House is grappling with a criminal investigation into whether anyone leaked the name of a C.I.A. operative, an inquiry that has brought both Karl Rove, Mr. Bush's top political adviser…"
"Now the Democrats are reaching for the reformers' mantle. More and more, they attack the Republicans as a party riddled with corruption and out of touch with the problems and concerns of ordinary Americans."
6. Dan Balz of the Washington Post wrote today: "On the ethics front, Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist (R-Tenn.) is under investigation for selling stock in his family's medical business just before the price fell sharply. The probe of well-connected lobbyist Jack Abramoff, a former close associate of DeLay, threatens to create even more troubles for Republicans. Finally, the special counsel investigation into whether White House senior adviser Karl Rove or others in the administration broke the law by leaking the name of the CIA's Valerie Plame is nearing a conclusion."
"What worries Republicans is the confluence of a large number of scandals when Bush and the GOP Congress are at the weakest point in years."
7. Janet Hook and Maura Reynolds of the Los Angeles Times wrote today: "It comes less than a week after Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist (R-Tenn.) acknowledged he was under investigation for a stock sale, giving new ammunition for Democrats who seek to call attention to alleged ethical lapses to bolster an argument that Republicans have abused power in Congress and the White House."
"Others immediately linked DeLay's problems to Frist's, as well as to the investigation of Bush advisor Karl Rove in connection with the disclosure of a CIA operative's identity."
In fact, the LA Times even quoted from Dean's memo: "'The Republican leadership in Washington is now spending more time answering questions about ethical misconduct than doing the people's business,' said Democratic National Committee Chairman Howard Dean."
"A key question is whether Democrats will succeed in turning GOP ethics controversies to congressional electoral advantage in 2006. Some analysts see a parallel between current developments and the scandals involving Democrats in the late 1980s and early 1990s that helped lay the groundwork for Republicans to win control of Congress in 1994."
8. USA Today reported:
"DeLay has properly stepped aside, as required by party rules that Republicans tried to water down last year but reconsidered amid public outrage. Yet his indictment adds to the whiff of corruption surrounding several prominent Republicans in Washington:
• Lobbyist Jack Abramoff, a DeLay golfing pal and fundraiser, faces wire fraud charges in a Florida casino-cruise deal.
• David Safavian, the top federal-procurement officer, was arrested last week on charges of misleading investigators about Abramoff's interest in acquiring property from the General Services Administration in 2002.
• Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist, R-Tenn., is under fire for selling his holdings in his family's giant hospital company shortly before the stock plunged on disappointing earnings.
"DeLay and the others are entitled to the presumption of innocence. But, cumulatively, the allegations pose a threat to Republicans in next year's congressional elections. If they can't clean up their act, the voters could conclude it's again time for a change."

Beyonce Baby Watch 2011/2012 is in full effect. While the actual due date of the infant has been the source of much speculation (Bey said she was expecting in February at one point and then referred to herself as six months pregnant in the "Oh Baby!" spoof video), sources say that Bey's bundle of joy could arrive as early as today, Dec. 28. Today? Oh baby! Bey's baby could very well be on his or her merry way.
Dido's collaboration with Eminem, 'Stan,' helped make a name for the singer, and now the British star has named her son Stanley in honor of the chart-topping song.

Target: Brian Aucone, Denver Zoo Vice President for Animal Care
Goal: Thank the Denver Zoo for supporting a new wild animal hospital in Nepal
A new wild animal hospital will provide care for endangered wild animals, like the Bengal tiger, at the Chitwan National Park in Nepal. This hospital has only been made possible because of a generous donation from the Denver Zoo. Thank the zoo for their support of these amazing animals.
Chitwan National Park is a World Heritage reserve that protects over 579 square miles (932 square kilometers) of forests, marshlands, grasslands, and wildlife. The reserve supports such endangered animals as the one-horned rhinoceros and the Bengal tiger. There are fewer than 2,500 Bengal tigers and about 3,000 one-horned rhinoceroses alive today, and many of them live in the Chitwan National Park in Nepal. Both of these beautiful creatures are in danger from poachers and human encroachment into their native habitat.
The creation of the new hospital to care for these endangered animals would not have been possible without a donation of $150,000 (10.5 million rupees) from the Denver Zoo. Thank Brian Aucone, Vice President for Animal Care, for the zoo's support of endangered animals in Nepal.
Dear Mr. Aucone,
The Chitwan National Park in Nepal is a sanctuary for many endangered species in Nepal, like the one-horned rhinoceros and the Bengal tiger. Now, thanks to the generous donation from the Denver Zoo, they will have a first rate wild animal hospital to provide care for these amazing animals.
Mr. Aucone, thank you and the Denver Zoo for your support of these animals. The new hospital would not have been possible without it.

History / Summary of performances 2002 - 2005
Portrait of the pigeon breeder Anton (Toni) Deigner
Much upheaval occured in the life of Toni Deigner. But since he began the pigeon sport in 1977 he practices it undauntedly and always with the view torward the future.
Toni is a pigeon breeder with heart and understanding! Only those close to Toni know him as the helpful and pleasant breeder who helps many colleagues all over the world.
· 1977 marks the beginning in Gaildorf-Württemberg on a wooded slope, where the hawk was a daily guest at the loft.
The first 10 pigeons came from a well-known breeder from the Swabian Albstadt in exchange for Toni's trained shepherd dog CONDOR.
· In 1980 they moved into the attic of the newly built house of his companion at that time
· 1983 Another move, this time into the extensively renovated garden shed of his employer. All in all the Gaildorfer time was a beautiful time with many friends, a period of the good old times as a pigeon breeder .
· In 1987 came drastic changes in the life of Toni Deigner. He answered an advertisement in the pigeon newspaper, in which an entrepreneur from the Odenwald was looking for a loft manager. All of this was contrived by the well-known federation champion at the time, minister Thomas Roeder.
· 4 weeks later Toni was in Kirschhausen close to Heppenheim in the beautiful Odenwald. He only took along the very best from his previous stock.
· He now began his advance to the top. A first-class loft installation, many new pigeons from absolute top breeders and above all naturally those from Thomas Roeder,always with the principle"only off the best pigeons". A principle, which Toni still obeys today. Add to this sufficient time to work with the pigeons in spite of his job. It didn't take long for the first successes to arrive.
· 1987 first RV-champion with yearlings
· 1988 2. District Ace bird with the original Roeder pigeons, 6. RV-champion old birds, 1. RV-champion with hens
· 1989 marks the largest stroke of luck in Toni's life; he became acquainted with his future wife Martha, who gave him what for him was always good and important, namely peace, security, support and absolute reliability. And she possesses a personality which made it possible to fulfil his longstanding desire of opening a restaurant again. Martha is a natural at being an excellent hostess.
In 1989 came the move with "everything and pigeons ". Martha and Toni opened their restaurant in greater Umstadt. They quickly changed a dreamy wine parlour into an outstanding food restaurant.
Until 1993, he flew from a garden loft erected on some rented property.
· 1992 he acquired in Semd/greater Umstadt an older farm and renovated it extensively. Gradually different pigeon lofts were erected and always built according to the newest standards in the pigeon sport.
· 1993 the final move and thus the renewed loss of all ace pigeons as fliers.
· In 1994 old birds were raced from greater Umstadt; young pigeons were flying from the newly built loft in Semd. However, practically all of the '94 young bird team got lost off the loft due to an encounter with a peregrine falcon.
· 1995 Toni could finally count on a reliable loft manager (Janos ); participation in the races was with yearlings and young birds.
· 1997 Toni's brother Josef becomes interested in racing pigeons. As an early pensioner he moves to Semd and begins to look after the birds with success.
· 1999 marks again a heavy setback for the brothers Deigner. An investigation shows in the middle of the flying season positive lab results of streptococci. An extensive treatment depresses the pigeons. Nevertheless, they still reach top prices afterwards just like they used to and also the percentage yield rises again strongly in the last races.
Josef Deigner buys in his native Swabia a little house and moves at the end of 1999 into the proximity of Schwäbisch Gmünd.
On November 28 1999 Toni and Gerhard Schlepphorst auctioned off all pigeons with foreign bands residing in his loft. As a man of honor Toni also includes his best stock birds in this auction. Proceeds from this auction were larger than expected. It was a surprise to see his sport friends Heinz Siebert from Uslar and Walter Hofer from Switzerland visit his loft the following day. They brought along 2 pigeons which they purchased at the auction of the previous day: The "MAESTRO I " and "DE JONGE MAES " which they would like to have stay in Semd. This decision took the age of the pigeons into consideration. They assumed that the two birds would be fertile longer in their accustomed loft than in a stange place.
Together the three breeders came to the folowing agreement. The two birds remained the property of the breeders, Siebert and Hofer; however, each third young pigeon would belong to Toni Deigner for the maintenance of the birds and pairing them with his ace hens. The remaining young pigeons could be sold after coming to an agreement with the two owners.
· 2000 brings a new challenge for Toni. He is proud to work in his breeding loft only with the excellent ace pigeons which he bred himself. Toni is convinced that he will now breed even better pigeons due to his severe selection.
In his spare time Toni holds some offices for the betterment of the pigeon sport:
What characterizes Toni is his honesty toward others and especially toward fanciers starting all over again. As the author of this breeding catalog I can confirm this to every breeder. After some unsuccessful years in the pigeon sport myself, when I got advice and pigeons everywhere, each one giving me different advice, I became aquainted with Toni Deigner in 1996 in Essen at the DV. My successes in the pigeon sport have improved greatly since then. I no longer have to start on the last page of the prize list to look for my name!! Besides many other successes in the last 2 years, I had the best yearling of Switzerland in 1999, a blue bird with the ring number DV-5150-98-368, a pure Deigner pigeon which I received as a gift from the branch loft of Toni, namely from Klaus & Margot Haun. I am convinced today that it is worth it to spend some "Fraenkli" or "DM" to aquire good material from a breeder who tells the truth about the genetic lines of his birds.
I also earned some money recently by selling the standard bird of the Swiss federation exhibition 2000 in Brig/Glis VS to Toni after careful considerations.
The reader may very well ask himself why Toni would be interested in a Swiss pigeon. Toni knows the situation in Swtzerland quite well and knows that it is not easy to fly here successfully. The pigeons fly from the east through many different valleys with constantly shifting winds. The danger through birds of prey exists in each race beginning at the release point, especially in the Bavarian protected areas, and just before reaching the lofts they must still cross the Voralpen, a hill of 900m above sealevel, within the last 5 kilometers. A race is usually open for only a few minutes due to the small number of birds entered.
The bird 37736-97 ,"Mr. Swiss air ", originates from a borrowed hen from Toni, the "Dikke Duif ", and therefore was understandably of interest to Toni. The bird's good looks come from my Klak pigeons and his speed from the Schellens.
Since Toni is so familiar with my birds, he also knows the offspring of this bird, which can be found further down on this page. "Mr Swiss air" was ace bird in our RV as young bird, as yearling and also as a two year old.
The decision to sell this bird was a very difficult one. Since he met the standard, he could have qualified himself for Capetown 2001; but he just as likely could have become a victim of a hawk on his first free flight this spring. At least this way I know that he is in good hands and where to get some offspring off him if needed.
I am convinced that Toni will have much pleasure with "Mr. Swiss air" and his offspring.
I hope that Toni can continue to reach his lofty goals. I wish Martha and Toni continuing good health and may they continue to be the honest and straightforward people that I've come to know. Our beautiful sport needs people like this if it is to survive the next 20 years.

1st District Ace hen, 900 ace points with 3500 fliers; 11th Ace hen of the federation
Racing efficiency 2002 totals 60 %.
The performance of Toni Deigner is amazing, since the attentive reader will see in the following pedigrees that Toni puts some of his best fliers into the breeding section every year. Many fanciers would not dare to start each year with a new team but this only encourages Toni to get still better results. The advantage of this system is the quality in the stock loft and that some of the vacated nest boxes will be inhabited by still some other champions. This has worked very well in the past and we hope that it continues into the future.
Many ace pigeons are sold every year to Taiwan where the Deigner-Schellens attained a good reputation due to some major victories in the local money races there.

| The concept of not labeling cloned foods is quite frightening on many levels. You would be taking away our ability to decide not to eat cloned animals. You label organic foods but you wouldn't label cloned foods. What if cloned foods causes a higher degree of illness and you didn't allow for the labeling of these foods? No one would ever know what the possible cause was.
In a free country, I want the right to choose what foods we eat and if you do not allow a label to show the foods were made through cloning, you take away my right to choose. You also put me blindingly at risk of possible health issues related to eating cloned food.
The mere concept of this possibility leads me to believe there is some strong influence attempting to blind citizens from knowing they would be eating cloned animals.
Please advocate for safety through choice, not blind faith. There are no long term studies around cloned food. I want the right to choose to eat cloned food or not.
Thank you.
Stan Kurtz

I love hiking in the desert (when it is below 90 degress...). I live in the north valley near several mountain preserve areas, so finding a nice trail is as easy as pulling over, or walking a block and stepping over a fence. Desert trails are mostly dusty and rocky though, and for all of the beauty of my surroundings, i catch myself looking down alot. Not that the trails around here are especially strenuous... Just that there's lots of loose terrain, and a misstep--especially going downhill, and … [Read more...]

In recent weeks, Hall County unveiled a new logo and slogan as part of a rebranding and marketing campaign.
Now, officials are pressing forward on the next stage, preparing to redesign the government website.
The Hall County Board of Commissioners is expected to award a $78,000 contract when it meets Thursday to Civic Plus of Manhattan, Kan., for the redesign. About $100,000 had been budgeted.
Civic Plus has designed websites for Athens-Clarke County, Lowndes County and Glynn County, among others.
As stipulated in the contract, the company will provide technology upgrades and site maintenance at no added cost; will provide training to government employees on how to navigate the new site; will build a mobile app for the site; and will redesign it again in four years.
County spokeswoman Katie Crumley said the redesign is aimed at making the website more user-friendly, as well as updating information and resource listings. The redesign will incorporate the colors and theme of the new logo and slogan.
The redesign will include features such as "mega-menu," a one-click stop for access to any information available. It will also include advanced bill-paying options, as well as the ability to sign up for sports leagues and other events.
As more and more Americans do business on the Web, Crumley said it was imperative that local governments provide the resources to contribute to this activity.
County officials said they hoped to get the redesigned website up and running by early 2015 at the latest.
"We know that the world is changing," Crumley said, adding the county needs to change with it.
