Learn the Secrets of an Ancient, Proven Tradition... You Can Harness The Power Of A Healing, Liberating, Universal Life Force!
Transform Your Life And Maximize Your Well-Being With Reiki!
Nearly 100 years ago, a child who would later become a monk, Mikao Usui, was born in Japan.
Usui would grow up to pursue the art of Reiki, a method of harnessing the universal life force that runs through all of us.
He studied the ancient traditions, unlocking a powerful lost secret that has been transforming lives ever since.
Slowly, but surely, word of Reiki and its potential has moved beyond Japan's Buddhist temples throughout the world. Today, its secrets are readily available to you.
And you should learn them. Why?
Because Reiki is a fundamentally life-changing practice. It's nothing less than transformative.
Reiki is based on an understanding of the universe's powerful, universal life force. It harnesses and directs the power of ki to create healing, peace and understanding. It imbues its practitioners--and those who benefit from them--with true alignment and it unlocks their human potential. Reiki is powerful. Unbelievably powerful. It's easy to see why it might sound magical to someone who isn't familiar with its foundations and underpinnings, but it isn't. Reiki is based firmly in reality.
"Reiki: Healing and Practices" is a comprehensive guide of Reiki, its history, its underpinnings, its techniques and its uses.

DETROIT - Petie, the Jack Russell terrier who captured hearts in Michigan and Tennessee, is back home.
The owner of Petie, the Jack Russell terrier who captured hearts in Michigan and Tennessee, sent a $200 check to the Michigan Humane Society as a thank you.
After three months and hundreds of miles, the 4-year-old pooch completed his trek from Michigan to Tennessee on Thursday.
Jack Arrighi of Erin, Tenn., said he left Petie in his backyard in July while he went out, but Petie was gone when he got home.
A homeowner in Rochester Hills, about 20 miles north of Detroit, saw Petie last week in his backyard and took him to a Humane Society animal care center
The Humane Society was able to track down Arrighi thanks to the microchip.
Arrighi mailed a $200 check to the MHS Tuesday.
A happy ending to this lost-dog story couldn't have come at a better time for Arrighi. His wife died two weeks ago. He believes she somehow played a part in bringing Petie home.
"My wife passed away on the the 12th of this month," he said. "That was terrible. I can't handle that very good."
Arrighi saw Petey for the first time thanks to the pooch's appearance on Local 4 News Morning.
Volunteer Nancy Greiser and her friend drove Petie 1,100 miles, round trip.
Greiser fosters dogs from the Michigan Humane Society. Of her three beagles, two were fosters that somehow never managed to make it back to the shelter.
She is more than happy to give her time to see Petey gets home to Tennessee.
"This is one of those stories, where, how can you not feel compassion?" Greiser said.

nathanddrews - Tuesday, May 28, 2013 - linkI can push 2560x1600 at 75Hz to my FW900 over VGA. How can any modern display not hit 60Hz? Reply
nagi603 - Tuesday, May 28, 2013 - linkIf I read it right, it is not the whole display itself, but its HDMI connection that is to blame... On the DVI/DP port, it shouldn't cause any problem. Reply
Kevin G - Tuesday, May 28, 2013 - linkHDMI up to v1.3 have a bandwidth limitation that prevents resolutions over 1920 x 1200 at 60 Hz. v1.4 increases the clock speed and thus bandwidth to enable 2560 x 1600 at 60 Hz and 3840 x 2160 at 30 Hz.
DisplayPort and DL-DVI should be fine for driving this display at 2560 x 1600 at 60 Hz. Reply
nathanddrews - Tuesday, May 28, 2013 - linkI guess that's what I meant. How can any modern display not have 1.4? Like yesteryear's RAM, you'd think it more expensive to use an older 1.3 controller than a mass produced 1.4. 2.0 will be upon us soon... Reply
Darkstone - Tuesday, May 28, 2013 - linkHDMI 1.4 optionally increase the bandwidth. For example, the GTX 680 supports HDMI 1.4a but no resolutions over 1200p (using the HDMI port). Reply
Kevin G - Tuesday, May 28, 2013 - linknVidia actually lists 4096 x 2160 as the maximum resolution over HDMI according to their spec sheet. It doesn't list the refresh rate though it is 30 Hz
PCPer managed to get ahold of the Seiki 50" 4K resolution TV and got the Geforce GTX 680 to run at that resolution. Reply
Kevin G - Tuesday, May 28, 2013 - linkQuick correct, maximum refresh at 4096 x 2160 is 24 Hz, 3840 x 2160 is 30 Hz by HDMI spec. Reply
cheinonen - Tuesday, May 28, 2013 - linkBecause CRTs and LCDs work differently. You can get 120Hz LCDs, but they're of the TN variety (another review coming up soon of one). People can overdrive their IPS panels, but they don't ship with beyond 60 Hz as a standard option.
For the HDMI thing, I'd imagine that's a combination of two things: It's cheaper to have an HDMI 1.3 chipset than a 1.4a chipset, and the vast majority of HDMI sources out there can't do 2560x1600, while almost all DisplayPort and DVI sources can. That probably causes extra support headaches, though I'm guessing it's more due to cost. Reply
DanNeely - Tuesday, May 28, 2013 - linkI'd add that the reason why HDMI 1.3 is cheaper is that it can be shared in the controller with the DVI-D decoder since the two ports have identical video transmittal/encoding formats. Reply
Nixeus Technology - Tuesday, May 28, 2013 - linkHi Chris,
You are correct in your analysis. Both the NX-VUE27 and NX-VUE30 can support the full resolution via HDMI 1.4/1.3 connections - however due to the numerous hardware configurations and varibles of the quality of HDMI cables in the market(some HDMI 1.4/1.3 do not meet stated HDMI specifications) that may cause sync or flickering issues, we choose to omit the supported feature for the full 2560x1600 resolution for the HDMI input. Reply
nathanddrews - Wednesday, May 29, 2013 - linkSo you're saying it can, but it can't. ;-) Reply
tnynyn - Wednesday, May 29, 2013 - linkMy Dell U3011 is like this also. It is due to the HDMI chipset limiting to 1080p resolution while othe inputs can do the full 1600p. Sounds like a nice monitor, can't wait to read the reviews. Reply
Mumrik - Tuesday, May 28, 2013 - linkMy FW900 isn't dead yet either. I hate that display tech has moved so little when it comes to refresh and resolution in all that time. The era of LCD was a massive setback in that regard. Reply
Sunrise089 - Tuesday, May 28, 2013 - linkProps on still running an FW900. I owned two, but one was pretty darn dead and the other wasn't too much better. Dell 24" IPS now is OK, but I still miss true blacks and variable resolutions. Reply
nathanddrews - Wednesday, May 29, 2013 - linkI've held onto it expecting a comparable quality high resolution, high refresh display technology to arrive, but so far nothing. Ever since SED/FED died, I've kind of lost hope. My FW900 has been a champ. It's over 10 years old, and it still calibrates to near perfection. The few 120Hz LCDs I've tried recently haven't been anywhere close to it. I'm hoping that 4K OLED can bring about a revolution, but only if we have a connection capable of 120Hz+ to eliminate the motion blur... and then we'll need GPUs capable of pushing games over 120fps at 4K res...
Yeah, I'm asking for the world. Reply
shompa - Friday, May 31, 2013 - linkVGA = analoge. DVI (and so on digital). You need over 8Gbps bend with to get over 60Hz. Reply
This Guy - Tuesday, May 28, 2013 - linkCan you do a GPU review with three of these please?
Maybe around when AMD release their crossfire stutter fix? Reply
8steve8 - Tuesday, May 28, 2013 - linkthe title "Nixeus NX-VUE30 30" : A $699 WQXGA (2560x1600) IPS LED Monitor" refers to this as an LED backlit display, but I can not find a source for this.
I would bet it's actually CCFL Reply
Nixeus Technology - Tuesday, May 28, 2013 - linkHi Steve,
You are correct. Thank-you for catching the mistake. This version of the NX-VUE30 is a using a CCFL backlight LG Panel. Reply
scuffmcduff - Thursday, May 30, 2013 - linkI suppose I can use this on my Mac with a Mini Displayport to Displayport cable? Reply
Nixeus Technology - Thursday, May 30, 2013 - linkYes, you are correct. Reply
GlassDeviant - Sunday, June 30, 2013 - linkSo this will work fine with a DL-DVI equipped graphics card then? Or prefferably 3 of these?
P.S.: "This Guy", there is already a fix for crossfire stutter, it's called nVidia :) Reply
JustP80 - Sunday, November 23, 2014 - linkWhat idiot is pushing or trying to push 3k and 4k resolutions with anything but DisplayPort?? Reply
JustP80 - Monday, November 24, 2014 - linkAlso, I've been using a HP 30" in conjunction with a gtx780ti at 2560x1600, with primarily Battlefield 4, on ULTRA settings. My HP too has a 7ms response time. To all you morons out there talking about input lag, motion blur, etc being a unacceptable problem, you are either clueless and inexperienced, or you have a standard that is completely off base and impractical! You also have a stick crammed up your ass! If you want a completely noticeable, flawless motion sequence in an fps, then stick to 144hz, 1080p midget monitors. However, I'll take the detail, robust color, out of this word resolution, graphical superiority, non-noticeable input lag to 99% of normal humans, and completely immersive experience of a 2560x1600 @60hz any day!!!

Most of you know that I love the laid back L.A. style and this outfit is a perfect example of that. Torrid sent me the JET John Eshaya White Leopard Print Tank ($34.50) and the Sophia Jegging Regular length ($58.50).
This was the perfect outfit for a day of shopping, eating barbecue, and more shopping. I'm always a fan of a flowy tank. Especially, when it has a knotted back where the straps meet. Now, this may seem a little difficult when it comes to choosing a bra. But you can always wear a strapless bra orrrrr one of those convertible bras with those see through straps (that are always attached) in the halter style. Just in case, like me, you need extra support. The tank is a little thin, so make sure you wear a nude bra or tube top under neath or you'll definitely see the bra. This is the Cacique bra I wore with it.
The jeggings were amazing…as always. They fit great and weren't too low, they sat above the belly button. Yay! I'm not a fan of low cut jeans! And they have a nice stretch, but still have the denim feel. These run pretty true to size. The 18 fit me perfectly. These are also in the regular length. The Sopia Jegging also comes in extra short, short, tall, and extra tall. Don't you love the variety? I'm 5'6 and these are still a little long. Regardless, I can see me wearing them a lot!
What do you think of the JET tank and Sophia jeggings?
Disclosure: The reviewed items were gifted by Torrid. The above is my true and honest opinion.

Much of the scholarly output of university faculty members and researchers—including conference proceedings, working papers, unpublished (and even published) articles, data sets, and audiovisual presentations—receives only limited exposure. Institutional digital repositories have been established by colleges and universities, including Marquette University, to organize and preserve such selected educational and research materials and to make them freely available in a reliable centralized online archive. Marquette's IR has been given the name: e-Scholarship@Marquette.
The University of Maryland Digital Repository site highlights the power of an IR to expand the exposure of its scholarly contents:
Scholars and researchers generally publish their work to disseminate it to the broadest possible audience of interested readers. The basic concept of institutional repositories is to use the power of the Internet to make research available and maintain permanent access to this valuable information. By providing stable storage for deposited files and gathering and publicizing basic descriptive information, these digital documents can be found, read, and used by a global audience. Repositories are designed to make it easy for authors to deposit their works and for any researcher to locate works of interest quickly and easily. The costs are kept very low and are covered by the institution rather than the author or the reader.
One of the key features of an institutional repository is the free accessibility of its contents, i.e., open access. According to the Budapest Open Access Initiative, open access refers to the "free availability on the public internet" of scholarly literature "without financial, legal, or technical barriers other than those inseparable from gaining access to the internet itself." While most IR content is open access, it should also be noted that scholars have the option of restricting access to their own materials to a selective group of collaborators or colleagues. The institutional repository can even serve as a data storage site for works in progress.

A9 TV, February 28th, 2012
It is so important to eliminate the hatred of the bigots. We must strive to make them think reasonably, logically and lovingly because evangelicals in America are convinced that Muslims are the dajjal. "How do we know?" they ask. "Let me tell you. For one thing. They are hostile to women. They compare women to pigs and apes and donkeys. They hate them. They have no right to divorce," they say. And then they say, "Do the exact opposite of whatever they say."
(In response to a viewer who says, "Yesterday you said that the Prophet Jesus (pbuh) is alive. Is he living among people like Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh)? Could you expand on that a bit?")
No, the Prophet Jesus (pbuh) is in concealment. He is not living among people. If one of his followers makes a move, they immediately remove him from his post. His work is being aimed towards people in senior positions. If he speaks about Islam and the Qur'an, they immediately remove him from his post. He and his followers are working as secret Muslims. When asked, he says he is a Christian, insha'Allah.
(In response to a mail from a viewer saying we should mourn every day)
Allah says in one verse that the disbelievers must weep very much. Look at that thinking – we are supposed to be in mourning every day! We are supposed to weep and mourn over everything, such as three Muslims being killed in Syria! You are trying to raise a bunch of weaklings. Muslims place their trust in Allah. They know that everything is created for the best. Muslims do not weep and wail. And there is nothing to weep about. Weeping is a rebellion against Allah. Allah creates all things for the best. We do not weep over our martyrs, we rejoice for them. Weeping; people who do not believe in Allah think that they have lost something, that it no longer exists. They lose their money and weep, they lose their home and weep, they lose a relative and weep. There is no weeping in Islam. There is no reason for a Muslim to weep. Allah gives, and Allah takes away. Why weep?
(In response to a viewer who says, "Beautiful girls generally want nothing to do with religion? Why is that?")
I have overcome that, too. Indeed, pretty girls do tend to have their noses in the air. As if they can create great things. But life is very short. In two decades' time, you will be a middle-aged woman of 40. Two decades is all you have. There is no cause for arrogance in that.
Lack of chastity ruins a woman. It ruins her mind and brain. Muslim women are also highly intelligent. Very intelligent indeed. But irreligious women are difficult and obstreperous. Really troublesome. Not worth getting involved with.
All young girls could be very beautiful if they were religious. A man who will like a devout woman will also be devout. A devout woman will be repelled by an irreligious man. Some people do not realize. Allah makes that repulsion part of their human nature. They are truly repelled. There is nothing they can do about it. It is a physical repulsion. They are repelled by their looks, their bodies and everything. Allah gives them this feeling of repulsion. But a devout woman can be really affected by a devout man, if the relationship is lawful.
Allah destroys all attractiveness in a person of no faith. But since they (disbelievers) do not realize this, they imagine it stems from what they eat or some psychological condition. But that scourge is deliberately sent by Allah. They fail to realize their own coldness. They see nothing wrong with their bodies, but there is that coldness within. That stems from lack of faith. It comes about as a miracle, from Allah. The more piety a male believer has, the stronger and more powerful he is. And the more piety a female believer has, the stronger and more powerful she is.
If people have that mindset of blasphemy and arrogance, then there is that very complex system of the way of satan. Every street is horrible. Every district is horrible. There is no getting out of it. It is like quicksand. Once you are in it, you cannot get out. But all a believer's paths lead to Allah. However you look at things, you get to Allah. If you say, "How lovely you are," they will reply, "Allah created me." If you say, "What a lovely voice you have," they will reply, "Allah created it." They have no pride and sense of superiority or grandeur.
Our Prophet (saas) had some 20 white hairs on his head. At the age of 63. His hair was pitch black. Masha'Allah. May Allah have mercy on our Prophet (saas). He is the most perfect human being ever created by Allah. The most perfect and the most attractive. Rasulullah (saas) was highly courageous, joyful and extroverted. There is no question of his never looking at women, as the bigots maintain. He looked, and then took them for his own. There are verses about that. Allah says, ". After that no other women are lawful for you nor may you exchange them for other wives, even though their beauty might be pleasing to you, ..." You must not take them, though if one pleases you, you can take her as a concubine, and that is a separate matter. Allah says you can take them.
Nobody who is not devoted to Allah and the Qur'an can be happy. Let me tell you that. I am not saying you have to be a Muslim to be happy. But you will be happier if you are one.
Surat al-Ahzab, 35
"Men and women who are Muslims, men and women who are believers, men and women who are obedient, men and women who are truthful, men and women who are steadfast," who are loyal to Allah and the Book. Disbelievers cannot be steadfast, for example. A woman does something, and they immediately go crazy. They beat and insult her. But believers are steadfast. Anyone can make a mistake. "...men and women who remember Allah much..." who fear and respect Allah. A woman who fears Allah is exquisitely beautiful. But if she has no fear, Allah takes that light away. The electricity and that womanly characteristic just disappear. "...men and women who fast, men and women who guard their private parts," who do not enter into illicit sexual relations. "...men and women who remember Allah much: Allah has prepared forgiveness for them and an immense reward."
I seek refuge in Allah from the accursed satan: "Corrupt women are for corrupt men and corrupt men are for corrupt women;" Allah says that this is what He will do. And evil men really are attracted to evil women. This is a miracle. Allah says He will do this. And it happens, all over the world. Horrible men take horrible women. "Corrupt women are for corrupt men and corrupt men are for corrupt women, Good women are for good men and good men are for good women. The latter are innocent of what they say. They will have forgiveness and a generous provision. Allah says he will make them wealthy. This is a miracle. There is another verse about it. They live well. It is amazing. The wisdom of Allah. A miracle.
Surat al-Ahzab, 73
"This was so that Allah might punish the men and women of the hypocrites," this is a reference to animal-like people who pretend to be Muslims, but who have bad blood and character, who sow the seeds of hatred, who have blood and pus pouring from their mouths, who talk about killing and slaughtering all the time, who have no compassion or kindness or depth – the bigots of this world. And these people's women are their equivalent, utterly degraded. "This was so that Allah might punish the men and women of the idolators,," The idolators are also completely horrible. They stink to high heaven. "...and turn towards the men and women of the believers. Allah is Ever-Forgiving, Most Merciful."
This is narrated by Enes (r.a). "The Prophet (saas) found them and said you said this and that, but I swear to Allah that…" In other words, they use the language of piety, saying we will not do this and not do that and not eat this or that. "I am the one who fears Allah and avoids what He has prohibited more than any of you," says the Prophet (saas). In terms of piety, that is what he says. He speaks on the basis of revelation. "Nonetheless however, I sometimes fast and sometimes eat." I do not fast all the time, he says. "I pray and I sleep. And I have relations with women," he says. And well done to my ancestor. "That is my Sunnah. Whoever does not keep to my Sunnah is not one of us," he says.
"You who believe! Do not take the Jews and Christians as your friends; they are the friends of one another. Any of you who takes them as friends is one of them. Allah does not guide wrongdoing people."
(Surat al-Ma'ida, 51)
Now, does Allah tell us not to take them as friends when it comes to "the one Allah"? No. We are friends on the subject of "the one Allah." We are friends when it comes to the prophets of Allah, to believing in the prophets. We are friends when it comes believing in the hereafter and paradise and hell. We are friends on the subject of what is lawful and unlawful in the eyes of the Qur'an. What subject are we not friends on? We are not friends when it comes to the Trinity. What does that friendship mean? Not sharing that particular belief, of course. It does not mean we should hate the individual. If Almighty Allah wanted us to hate them personally, He would not have made it lawful for us to marry the People of the Book.
(Surat al-Ma'ida, 5)
"Today all good things have been made halal (lawful) for you." Jews and Christians. So if you eat their food you are friends. You are friends on the subject of food. You are not friends on what contradicts the Qur'an. You disagree on that. They fail to understand this. "And the food of those given the Book is also halal for you and your food is halal for them." You invite them to your home and have dinner with them. Why give them food to eat? Because Allah tells you to. And you go and dine in their homes. There is a verse about it. Some people say they are our enemies, but the verse refutes that. "So are chaste women from among the believers and chaste women of those given the Book before you, once you have given them their dowries in marriage, not in fornication or taking them as lovers."
He says you can marry them. You can marry a Jewish woman. She becomes your beloved and the mother of your children. You do not love her belief, the false belief, only her. But they never mention this verse. When something contradicts faith, you have an attitude against that.2012-04-21 22:18:01

Sidmouth & Ottery Ladies 3, Bridgwater Ladies 1
BRIDGWATER Ladies suffered a 3-1 defeat at the hands of Sidmouth & Ottery on Saturday.
Despite a promising start with several attacking moves, it was Sidmouth who took early an early lead with a penalty flick.
Some impressive passing continued to find Millie Burridge in space – and Bridgwater thought they had equalised only to see the goal ruled out.
At 1-0 down Bridgwater were confident they could get back into the game, but a series of decisions against them caused them to become unsettled.
Sidmouth's second goal came after a spell of pressure from penalty corners – and further goalmouth action brought a fine reaching save from Amy Burridge after great defensive work by Donna Cooper and Rachel Lockwood.
Late in the game, Sidmouth got their third goal from a penalty strike.
This didn't deter Bridgwater who fought to the end, but circumstances were unfortunately against them.
Bridgwater got a consolation goal late in the game through a great first-time shot from Charlie Lewis, which was then finished by by Hayley Greenwell.

Never seen the movie. Never should have made a movie aboot that Jay dude. There's no movie there. No story. No movie.
Y'all know how Jay Moriarity got famous, right? He had a spectacular wipe-out in front of the right cameras. Offshores held him up in the lip and pitched his board in the air and ...............then magazine covers, sponsorship and international fame. All from one wave.......a wipeout on one wave...........then eventually a movie. Life's funny ain't it?
I'd rather they do a movie on Randall...... you know,...Lost's mascot.
And interestingly enough, small waves aren't considered dangerous but in actuallity, factuallity small waves account for 98% of surf injuries. Big waves usually break in deep water so you really just have to be able to hold your breath. I hope you can because I can't.
Yeah, Pipe and Chopes are big and shallow but you shouldn't be out on those waves anyways. Stick to C Street. Not the one in Ventura, but Southern North Carolina. Don't go to Ventura. Nobody in the 805 likes you. 805-496-.......... anybody remember my old phone number circa 1984? Jeez, I don't even know if "496" is correct or was it 498 or 499?

Today's topic of discussion is as mundane as it gets: Laundry.
Although laundry is, without a doubt, the most cumbersome and monotonous of household chores, it occupies a significant amount of time and therefore deserves its very own essay. 'Sides... it allows for several opportunities to use paradigm in a sentence.
During the olden days, and even today in some parts of the world, the laundry paradigm was a social event. All of the lady-folk from all of the villages would gather at the river to drag fabric along rocks. I presume they laughed, and complained, and solved a few problems, and criticized Sally when she wasn't there because of her helicopter-like parenting. I suppose in the olden days, and in some circumstances today, laundry might have been something to look forward to: an event; a gathering; a civic cattle-call; even a relief.
Take Mikey's laundry paradigm for example. Mikey's my dad and has made laundry a "thing" for the last 33 years. That many years ago, Mikey found himself a new bachelor in a house without a washer and dryer. He decided to visit the local laundry mat so as to accommodate his laundry needs. I presume the laundry mat ritual was a temporary arrangement. He discovered, however, that his weekly laundry mat be-in was something of a joy.
I've been to this laundry mat be-in with Mikey a few times. Besides the need for quarters and the task of packing-it-up, the laundry mat is an extremely efficient use of time.* Mikey would sort by color and throw each load into a washer. While the wash was whirling – for somewhere around 40 minutes – he'd read a magazine, or watch some sports, or organize stuff. He would relax. When the 40 minutes were up, he'd move each of those loads into a dryer. While drying, he'd go back to magazine-reading, sports-watching, and stuff-organizing. He would relax some more. When the dryers stopped, usually one at a time, he'd fold and hang.
The whole process was two hours, tops.
Compare 'n contrast Mikey's paradigm to my laundry process and you'll see a whole lot of wasted time. It's not two hours, tops. It can be a whole day. A whole day without the relaxation of magazine-reading, or sport-watching, or acute-organizing. And when that day is over, the laundry baskets are half full again.
A few weeks ago, just before shifting my laundry paradigm, I'd have what we women call Laundry Day. One day each weak, from before sun-up to well after sun-down, and maybe into the next day, I'd wash. The machines would run all day. All day. The reason for the all day thing is so we can "get it all done," and so that the rest of the week could be free of laundry. The trouble, though, is there's no such thing as getting laundry "all done," and the rest of the week was never free of laundry.
You're seeing why I needed that paradigm shift, right? Right! 'Cept I didn't go all the way over to the laundry mat paradigm. My new laundry paradigm is – get this – one, maybe two loads, every day, in the morning. I throw in a batch before I run, I return from the run and throw it in the dryer. Maybe rinse 'n repeat while doing breakfast and piano practice. Laundry is over 'n done by 9:00am.
It's totally changed my world. Hence the need for all those sentences with a paradigm in 'em.
Speaking of a world totally gone changed, you should see me play Apocalypse Please on my new piano. It's horribly awesome!

Pallets: U.S. demand for pallets to reach 1.3 billion units in 2015
Freedonia Group sees turnaround in demand as manufacturing increases.
in the NewsJuly U.S-bound shipments are solid, and August looks better, reports Panjiva July Cass Freight Index Report points to annual gains and sequential declines Truckload spot and contract rates seeing a summer bounce, says DAT Schneider Electric names Carlos Villa VP of U.S. industry business Transplace announces TPG is new equity partner More News
U.S. demand for pallets is forecast to rise 6.1 percent per year to 1.3 billion units in 2015, valued at $15 billion. The increase will be driven by a rebound in manufacturing output.
That's the conclusion of "Pallets," a new study from The Freedonia Group, (http://www.freedoniagroup.com) a Cleveland-based industry market research firm.
This pace will represent a dramatic turnaround from the 2005-2010 period, when demand fell to fewer than one billion pallets in response to a decline in manufacturing output between 2007 and 2009 and a partial rebound in 2010. Through 2015, demand gains will be driven by an expected advance in manufacturing from the low 2010 base.
Some key points of the study include:
Manufacturing will continue to account for the largest share of pallet demand, totaling 75 percent of the market in 2015, according to Freedonia.
• Demand will be supported by continued recognition of the suitability of pallets as an inexpensive way of shipping and hauling goods while avoiding product damage.
• Providers of warehousing services will purchase new pallets and expand their pallet refurbishing operations to add to their pallet stocks and more effectively serve existing customers.
• Pallet stock growth will be driven by the increase in manufacturing activity as the U.S. economy rebounds from the 2007-2009 recession.
• Growth in shipping activity will spur demand for pallets to transport and store goods.
• Plastic pallets will account for a larger share of the U.S. pallet stock in 2015. Plastic pallet demand is projected to advance at a double-digit pace through 2015, rising to 34.5 million units. Demand will be driven by consumer interest in the use of plastic pallets because of their performance qualities. They are resistant to contamination caused by bacteria and other pathogens and can be cleaned easily. Plastic pallets are also seen as being environmentally friendly, as they can be recycled once they have reached the end of their life span.
• Still, plastic pallets will represent just 2.65 percent of the overall pallet market in 2015.
Despite an increase in the market for plastic pallets, pallets made from wood—primarily lumber—will continue to account for nearly 95 percent of the U.S. market. Demand will be driven by the new pallet market, as manufacturers' shipments rebound and more pallets are needed to ship and haul products. However, refurbished wood pallets, which accounted for 65 percent of the wood pallet market in 2010, will continue to lead the market in 2015.

G'day from Downunder. Just joined.
I bought Steven's book "how to grill" about 2 months ago, and even though I've been BBQing for years, this was fresh, and new, and probably the single best cookbook I've ever seen. Everyone in the family is totally impressed with the stuff I've done so far from it, and it gave me some ideas for variations I will be soon trying on Kangaroo
So cheers to Steven!
Here, it's hot, right on BBQ season, and I'm fully stocked up with ingredients, and I intend to spend a large part of the next few weeks just BBQing.

You can sport rose gold on your wrists, neck, and fingers— and now on your face. Rose gold makeup, usually a warm pink base hue mixed with a dose of gilded shimmer, is the perfect way to impart a stunning Valentine's Day glow or to keep your skin looking bright and polished every day. A few ways we love to wear it:
- NARS Orgasm Illuminator This peachy shade of pink with subtle gold flecks is simply magic. It gives you a refreshed look— just what you need to wake up your skin during the drab winter months. It's stunning on the cheekbones and lids as a highlighter for a bathed-in-candlelight radiance.
- Bobbi Brown Rose Gold Shimmer Brick Compact This multi-tonal blush lends a beautiful, subtle sheen. It contains shimmer, though, so no additional highlighter is needed: Pair it with black or brown eyeliner and a neutral lip so your flush stands out.
- Tarte Lock & Roll Eyeshadow Duo in Rose Gold This eye-brightening shadow duo contains both a cream and loose powder version of the same hue: The loose powder (with a mess-proof rollerball applicator) keeps the cream in place and prevents creasing. Run it just along the lashline for a pop of light, or from lashline to crease to offset your eye color.

Valley Forward hosted its 41st Annual Luncheon Dec. 3, and the event was wild — literally. Guests were greeted by a menagerie of interesting wildlife at this year's event thanks to the Desert Botanical Garden, Liberty Wildlife, Arizona-Sonora Desert Museum, The Phoenix Zoo and the Wildlife World Zoo & Aquarium. Several animals were showcased at the environmental education exhibits including a bald eagle, American alligator, greyhound owl, African-crested porcupine and more. These exhibits transformed all the attendees back to their school-age, zoo-visiting days, and truly served as a reminder for the topic that was discussed at the luncheon — the importance of fostering our environment.
The keynote speaker was Joel Sartore, noted wildlife photographer at National Geographic Magazine, author and passionate environmentalist. Sartore presented a heartfelt speech about the importance of helping preserve our environment and making sure that despite the fervent pace of technology innovations, future generations value and experience the great outdoors.
Sartore has witnessed much of the devastation firsthand during his 20 plus years at National Geographic. He has photographed, among others, environmental tragedies such as the recent Gulf Coast oil spill, endangered species and more. His dedication to the cause is also demonstrated in his latest book, Rare: Portraits of America's Endangered Species, featuring endangered species from all over the world including several from Arizona. Sartore hopes that by photographing wildlife that many people don't even realize exist, it will draw attention to their cause and maybe help save them. His experience provided the audience with an amazing look into this wild world and what we — everyday, average people — can do to help make a difference.
Congratulations to Valley Forward for once again putting together such an inspiring event. The message of sustainability and environmental stewardship is one that continues to gain momentum. Let's hope it does so for many years to come.

Scientific diplomacy has never been more important as a way of projecting "soft power", Britain's Royal Society said in a thoughtful report released today.
New Frontiers in Science Diplomacy was launched at the first event of the society's 350th anniversary year – a gathering of 100 of the world's scientific academies at its headquarters in London.
The report, drawn up at a joint meeting with the American Association for the Advancement of Science last year, points out that scientific diplomacy has a long and successful history. Throughout the Cold War, for example, scientific organisations were an important conduit for informal discussion of nuclear and other issues between the United States and the Soviet Union.
Today science offers a particular opportunity for increasing contact with the Middle East and the wider Islamic world.
It also offers a route to governance of international spaces beyond national jurisdictions – including Antarctica, the high seas, the deep sea and outer space – which cannot be managed through conventional models of diplomacy.
David Milliband, UK Foreign Secretary, endorsed the idea at today's meeting: "The scientific world is becoming interdisciplinary," he said. "But the biggest interdisciplinary leap we need is across the boundaries of politics and science. On resource conflicts, global inequality, nuclear security and counter terrorism, science is our ally."
However we must bear in mind this cautionary note in the Royal Society report: "It is important that scientific and diplomatic goals remain clearly defined, to avoid the undue politicisation of science."

For my birthday in August, my wife got me the Weber Rotisserie kit for my Summit Gold grill. (Boy, does she know her man)
Last night, we had friends over, and I decided to do Rotisserie Cornish hens- each guest got their own bird. I thought it would be very festive, and unique.
Based on previous Rotisserie experience, I decided not to go with an oil based marinade (too many flareups) and went with my favorite rub (one cup paprika, two cups brown sugar, two tbs allspice, two tbs garlic powder, 3 tbs Kosher Salt, and usually I add 2 tbs of heat, like chili powder, but I had to pass this time as some of the guests are not fond of spicy hot food).
I rubbed the hens inside out, and let them sit overnight in the fridge.
an hour and a half before dinner, I tied rosemary skwerers to the spit, and mounted the 8 birds and let it go for about 75 minutes. no baste, no liquids, just let it go round and round, turning nice and brown, and very crispy.
took the birds off the spit when everyone sat down for dinner, and let them rest while we had the corn cowder my wife made, which was delicious. Then we served the hens to each person in their plate, with a bunch of sides, and that was that!
The good: The hens were perfectly cooked. Breast moist, skin crispy and very flavorful
the challenge: some people had a really hard time carving their own bird. when I suggested they dig in with their fingers (with me leading the way, of course) some were into it, and some were kind of... not... Lesson learned: A whole bird (or fish, for that matter) is not for everyone.
Here is a picture of the birds on the spit:
here is another angle, note the little flare up...
here is the final product
I had fun, but unfortunatly, some of my guests didn't.

Australia continues to burn as crews battle bushfires across five states and territories that have threatened homes and scorched hundreds of thousands of bushland.
NSW is under the worst threat with more than 90 fires that have burned more than 350,000 hectares.
Seven of those fires continue to burn out of control.
A 9800-hectare blaze near Cooma threatened 15 homes on Saturday as more than 100 firefighters worked to contain the inferno.
Crews are battling two other major fires near Yass and Sussex Inlet that have threatened homes but eased thanks to cooler weather conditions.
Firefighting crews in Tasmania, Victoria, Queensland and the ACT also fought blazes on Saturday.
Authorities in Tasmania issued a watch and act alert as a bushfire between Forcett and the Tasman Peninsula strengthened.
The Tasmanian Fire Service issued the alert today for communities near the blaze, noting increasing activity on the blaze's boundary in the Kellevie, Bream Creek and Marion Bay areas.
TFS senior station officer Phil Douglas said the fire had expanded to cover 23,600 hectares, and fire crews were backburning to contain the blaze.
Tasmanian emergency services have been fighting fires since January 4.
Several fires were burning across Victoria but they were under control, including a blaze at Kentbruck in the state's south-west, where 66 fire crews remained stationed.
A State Control Centre spokeswoman says the Kentbruck blaze now covers 11,890 hectares, due to backburning as part of containment efforts.
A 13-hectare blaze at Kangaroo Ground on Melbourne's outskirts had been declared safe despite going close to a significant number of properties.
In Queensland, there were 34 bushfires across the state but none threatened homes, while two small grassfires were the only blazes in the ACT on an extreme fire danger day.

Bayer CropScience wants to help children make healthy lunch decisions by partnering with the United Fresh Produce Association to install salad bars in schools.
The Research Triangle, N.C.-based Bayer CropScience plans to donate 10 salad bars this year to select elementary and secondary schools in Florida, California and the Pacific Northwest.
The contribution is part of the Washington, D.C.-based United Fresh Produce Association Foundation's efforts to support the Let's Move Salad Bars to Schools initiative to increase fruit and vegetable consumption through installing salad bars in U.S. schools, according to a news release.
Additionally, Bayer CropScience plans to contribute an 11th salad bar to another U.S. school through a social media campaign called "Give a salad bar."
Bayer CropScience started that campaign Jan. 30.
As students, parents and friends tweet and retweet the hashtag #GiveASaladBar or pin to GiveASaladBar on Pinterest, Bayer CropScience plans to donate $5 toward the additional salad bar.
"It is gratifying to work with companies, such as Bayer CropScience, that recognize the importance of teaching children about healthy eating," Tom Stenzel, United Fresh's president and chief executive officer, said in the release. "These salad bars will enable students to select from a wide variety of fruit and vegetable options each day, providing a personal experience about choices that can shape behavior far beyond the school lunch line, and provide a platform for a lifetime of healthy snack and meal choices."
A subgroup of Bayer AG responsible for its agricultural business, Bayer CropScience is part of the global Bayer that also works in health care and high-tech materials.

EASTNOR dealt an unexpected blow to Stourbridge's hopes climbing the Birmingham and District Premier League ladder last Saturday.
They beat home side Stour by six wickets in a match that went right to the wire.
Eastnor put Stour in on a good batting track and faced a challenging total.
Stourbridge openers Alex Bingham (20) and Steve Game (14) were both dismissed by Sajid Ali. The mantle was then taken up by skipper Richard Bradley and overseas star Audy Alexander from the 18th over.
They took the score from 48 for 2 to 148 for 3 when Bradley nicked behind off the bowling of Tareq Jamil with 15 overs remaining.
Thoughts of accelerating the run rate receded as Eastnor took the wickets of Josh Banks and Matt Bradley in quick succession.
Banks fell to Shameer Ahmed for nine and Matt Bradley was out lbw for two with 47 of the 55 overs used up.
Alexander and Jitesh Jivan-Patel took the score past 200 and regained some of the initiative. Alexander was caught on 100 taking the Stour score to 236 in the 53rd over off the bowling of Atiq Ur Rehman.
He had batted for two and half hours, posted 12 fours and reached the ton off 109 balls. Patel (35) and Greg Jones (4) remained not out as Stour posted 250. Sajid Ali ended with three for 72 off his full 17 over spell.
In Eastnor's knock, pace man Ali Shah struck the first blow by deceiving Andrew Fisher to have him caught for 12. From the other end, Matt Bradley had Sunil Rahi brilliantly caught in the gully for 11 with Jitesh Jivan-Patel holding on to a tough chance.
Stour were on top with the opposition two down for 29 off six overs. When Arshad Hussain retired hurt, Eastnor were left with a mountain to climb.
Number four Atiq Ur Rehman and number five Faisal Khalid formed a stubborn partnership taking the score to 119. The left and right combination resisted all that Stour threw at them until finally Jitesh Jivan-Patel had Khalid caught in the covers for 44 in the 30th over. Relieved at breaking a winning combination Stour faced another challenge, this time from well in and cautious Rehman and Shahid Ahmed.
Shahid took on the role of the aggressor smashing boundaries at will. Alexander's leg spin was treated with some respect and it was he who took the wicket of Rehman caught on the boundary for 96 taking his team to a score of 211 with the Belligerent Shahid still at the crease.
Rehman batted for nearly three hours and displayed a master class in survival. The window of opportunity for Stour at getting rid of Rehman was soon shut down by Shahid smashing 71 to ensure his side strolled home with two balls to spare.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 16/11/2012 (1741 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
There's a good chance depression is a silent epidemic among aboriginal people. The thought struck me while reading Jan Wong's memoir Out of the Blue.
Wong was a renowned journalist at the Globe and Mail when she covered the Dawson College school shootings in Montreal in 2006. A small bit of personal analysis in her story said part of the reason behind the shooting -- and two previous Quebec shootings -- may have been a racial divide between those who were of pure Quebec blood and those who were not.
She received hundreds of hateful emails; politicians -- including the prime minister -- criticized her. Then she received a death threat and felt her newspaper wasn't on her side. Wong descended into a major depression that left her unable to work.
Ever the journalist, Wong carefully dissects her experience in Out of the Blue, telling us about her journey and what she learned about depression.
In one section, Wong explains certain factors of an "oppression theory" gay people are more likely to suffer from, leading to high rates of depression.
The factors include discrimination in employment, housing, public humiliation and family rejection.
Most of that checklist could easily apply to many aboriginal people I know.
Many of us also have to deal with that and more. There's also financial stress, traumatic events such as abuse, family conflict, death, substance abuse and major illness, to name a few other causes of depression.
Add to that aboriginal people who live on a reserve or in a rural community have limited access to medical help and you now have a recipe for a mental-health crisis among aboriginal people. But I found very little information on depression among aboriginal people.
And do we even care? Some of us are still struggling to get clean water and decent housing, so it's often a stretch to worry about our mental health. But maybe we should start taking it seriously.
I've seen depression first-hand over the years so I know it's a common problem. It started in high school with depressed girls trying to commit suicide by taking pills.
My grandmother struggled with depression throughout her entire life. I also witnessed other family members deal with depression when I was young. And I wasn't immune either.
I suffered mild depression myself a few times, albeit not nearly as harsh as what Wong went through.
Maybe the trouble is, like many aboriginal people, I chose to deal with it by just living with it and not getting medical help. Luckily I got through it okay, but that isn't always the case.
In some ways, we are more open than others when letting other people know we are depressed. However, when it comes to getting treatment, we shy away from getting medical help for fear of looking weak, or worse, "crazy."
It's well-known many of our aboriginal communities deal with higher-than-normal suicide rates. Maybe suicides are the result of long-standing depression that hasn't been treated or even recognized by others as depression.
We need more education on what depression is and how to deal with it.
Maybe depression has become such a way of life among our families that we fail to see it as a disease at all but as a way of life we get stuck in. In any case, the effects might be a big factor in why some negative things in our communities never seem to change.
We can't take charge to change things when it's a struggle just to get out of bed or see anything positive about life. Maybe it would be difficult to study depression among aboriginal people, seeing as we are traditionally not very open with outsiders or medical staff. Maybe it would mean "insiders" doing interviews to get an honest look at how widespread the problem is.
In any case, it would be useful to take a closer look at depression among aboriginal people.

Advice: My fiance expects me to pay her student debt
Published 12:07 pm, Tuesday, August 20, 2013
Dear Carolyn:
I got through college without any debt; I know that's odd.
I am involved with a truly wonderful woman and, given a perfect world, I would like to marry, have kids and get old with her.
However, after undergrad and law school, the $150,000-plus in debt is a flashing red neon stop sign in my eyes, especially given her rewarding-in-ways-other-than-money law career.
It's not that she's fiscally irresponsible, it's just that I am going to end up paying back the lion's share of it, and it's going to delay all the things I'd like to do. I like to think I'm a generous guy and love conquers all, but does it?
Latest lifestyle videos
-- Fiances and Finances
Love conquers only what you're willing to conquer. I can't answer this for you, but I can say that if I were this truly wonderful woman, I'd be annoyed at your assumption that you'd "end up paying back the lion's share," since I took on debt presumably expecting to pay it back without help.
If she expects you to tackle her debt for her, or to carry the whole of your household expenses while she chips away at it, then that's something else to think about beyond just the debt.
And ... if instead the issue is that she planned to live a Spartan existence when she incurred this debt, and you have no interest in that kind of life, and therefore -- you reason -- you'd effectively be paying for her share of any luxuries you don't want to live without, then that's something else again.
So, predictably, there are issues of character and values embedded in this; it's not just about money vs. love. It's about the lifestyle you planned to have vs. the one she planned for herself, and whether you love her enough either to finance your vision for both of you, or to downsize your vision to accommodate her reality. It's also about what each of you expects from others.
It's still your call, of course, but if you focus on the strength of both parties' feelings and character, then I think the right choice will be clear.
I came off as more of a jerk than I meant to.
I'm not assuming, I am basically being told that's her plan for our money, to pay down her debt before we have kids, etc. Except when she says it, it's "our" debt and I start worrying that I am a starter husband whose expire-by date is the termination of the loan payments. Which is silly, but irrational isn't always deniable.
The last discussion was a little heated, and maybe I do need to rethink what other plan there is.
-- Fiances and Finances, again
"That's her plan for our money"? -- I would balk if my fiance insisted that WE were going to pay HIS debt before pursuing other life plans. Even if that's what made sense, the expectation would leave me cold.
If it were my debt, again, I'd treat it as mine and pay it down as planned, making clear that this would shift the burden of paying for any extras for our joint lives onto my intended. Declaring it "our" debt without your voice is a not-at-all "silly" red flag.

The University of Colorado Boulder today named Louise Vale as vice chancellor for administration starting Sept. 10. Vale is currently director of internal audit for the University of Colorado system.
The position of vice chancellor for administration, which reports to Senior Vice Chancellor and Chief Financial Officer Kelly Fox, supervises a division of almost 700 employees and oversees an annual operating budget of $112 million. Areas of responsibility include human resources, facilities management, public safety, emergency management, environmental health and safety, risk management, environmental sustainability, campus logistics, printing and the campus bookstore.
"Louise has served in various administrative, budget, finance and internal audit positions since joining the University of Colorado in 1990, including an appointment on the Boulder campus," Fox said. "She brings a tremendous amount of experience to this position and will make a wonderful addition to the Boulder campus leadership team."
The vice chancellor for administration, in conjunction with the campus and system administration, also represents the campus capital development program to the University of Colorado Board of Regents and state legislative committees.
Prior to Vale's current position, she served as the associate vice chancellor for budget and operations at the University of Colorado Denver. In that position, units she supervised included police, emergency preparedness, electronic security, budget, the bookstore, printing, mailing services, food services, institutional research and fiscal policy and analysis. In addition, she participated in the capital budgeting and planning of new buildings at the CU Anschutz Medical Campus.
Vale served for two years on the Boulder campus beginning in 1998 as an assistant to the dean of budget and planning in the College of Arts and Sciences.
"I'm looking forward to returning to the Boulder campus and I'm very excited about the opportunity to help advance the campus's Flagship 2030 goals," Vale said.
Flagship 2030 is the campus's comprehensive strategic plan, which was approved by the Board of Regents in November 2007.
Vale holds a bachelor's degree in comprehensive business management from the University of Nebraska-Kearney, a master's degree in management from the University of Colorado Denver and is a Certified Fraud Examiner.
Jeffrey Lipton, who has held the post of vice chancellor for administration on an interim basis since August of 2011, will offer transition assistance to Vale.

A pressure sore (bed
sore) is an injury to the skin and/or the tissues under the skin. Constant
pressure on an area of skin reduces blood supply to the area. Over time, it can
cause the skin to break down and form an open sore (ulcer).
Pressure sores are more likely to form if you or a person you are caring for is
in the hospital or is confined to a chair or bed.
Pressure sores
most often form on the skin over
bony areas where there is little cushion between the bone and the skin. Most
pressure sores form on the lower part of the body, including over the tailbone
and on the back along the spine, on the buttocks, on the hips, and on the
heels. Other common spots are the back of the head; the backs of the ears; the
shoulders, elbows, and ankles; and between the knees where the legs rub
Pressure sores can range from red areas on the surface
of the skin to severe tissue damage that goes deep into muscle and bone. These
sores are hard to treat and slow to heal. Other problems, such as
bone, blood, and
skin infections, can develop when pressure sores do
not heal properly.
Things that cause
pressure sores include:
As we get older, our skin gets more thin and dry and
less elastic, so it is easier to damage. Poor nutrition—common among older
people and people who cannot move easily—makes these natural changes in the
skin worse. Skin in this condition may easily develop
a pressure sore.
Treatment focuses on
preventing a sore from getting worse and on making the skin healthy again.
Treatment includes:
If infection develops, the person will need
antibiotics. Severe pressure sores may need

Pressure sores usually develop on the
skin over a

pressure sores develop on the lower part of the body, on the skin over the
sacrum and tailbone (the lowest part of the back), the
hips, buttocks, or heels. Pressure sores also occur on the back of the head,
the backs of ears, around the shoulders and elbows, between the knees, and over
the ankles.

Early treatment can help prevent damage from

Most stage 1 and stage 2
pressure sores will heal within several weeks with proper treatment. Stage 3 and 4 pressure sores can take months or even years to
heal. Even though progress is slow, continued care and treatment can prevent
complications such as further tissue damage, infection, and pain.
Pressure sores occur most frequently in people who are confined to beds
or chairs. In many cases, a person with a pressure sore also has one or more
medical conditions that may affect treatment and
healing. These conditions include
diabetes, kidney disease, and heart disease.
Relieving and spreading out
pressure is the most important part of preventing and treating pressure sores.
When pressure is in one spot for long periods of time, the blood flow to that
area is decreased. This damages or kills the cells, and creates a sore.
Pressure can be relieved and spread in several ways. Often a combination of
these is best. To relieve and spread pressure:
The basics of
wound care are cleaning, covering, and keeping slightly moist to provide the
best chance for wound healing.
In addition to avoiding
pressure, take steps to protect healthy skin.
Good nutrition is important to
both preventing and treating pressure sores. Focus on getting enough liquids,
calories, protein, and vitamins, and on controlling your weight. Both increases
and decreases in body weight can help cause pressure sores.3 Talk to your doctor or a
registered dietitian about a
healthy diet for you.
Open sores, such as
pressure sores, are easy places for infections to start. Your doctor will be
watching for signs of infection, and you can help watch for these signs. Tell
your doctor if you notice:
To treat an infection, you may use medicine such as
antibiotics, along with special care of the wound. You
and the people around you will also be taught to take steps to keep germs from
spreading to other parts of your body or to other people. These steps include
keeping the sore covered at all times except during treatment, good
hand-washing before and after caring for the pressure sore, and properly
wrapping and throwing away used bandages.
Pain may or may not be a
problem with pressure sores. If you do have pain, talk to your doctor. Some
people with pressure sores do not need any pain medicine, some need pain
medicine just when the sore is being treated, and some need pain control
medicine on a regular schedule.
pressure sores develop when you or a person you are
caring for is hospitalized or confined to a chair or bed. You can take steps to
prevent pressure sores. After a pressure sore has developed, you can help
prevent the sore from getting worse. To prevent or help heal pressure

New Options, Incentives Available for Deer Management
AUSTIN, Texas — The Texas Parks and Wildlife Commission has adopted new options and incentives for private landowners who actively practice white-tailed deer management, including the elimination of "double tagging" and an extension of hunting seasons.
According to the new rules, which go into effect this fall, hunters who take deer on properties holding deer permits that require permit tagging, such as Managed Lands Deer Permits, Landowner Assisted Management Permits or on Texas Parks and Wildlife Department-drawn public hunts, would not have to use a deer tag from their hunting license. What this means for affected hunters and landowners is less redundant paperwork and a simpler tagging system.
"This will eliminate personal bag limits and the requirement to complete the harvest log on the back of the hunting license for deer taken under authority of the specified permits," said Clayton Wolf, TPWD Big Game Program Director.
Providing private landowners and wildlife managers with the freedom and flexibility to effectively manage wildlife on their property is one of the benchmark priorities in TPWD's Land and Water Resources Conservation and Recreation Plan, designed to guide the agency's long-range efforts.
TPWD recognizes the need to adjust and amend the guidelines to allow land managers to be more efficient and effective stewards. The new rules are based upon recommendations from the TPW Commission's White-tailed Deer Advisory Committee.
Among the changes, properties operating under the department's Level II and III MLDPs (Managed Lands Deer Permit) will have hunting opportunities that extend through the last day in February.
Those same operations can also qualify for an exemption from any site inspection prior to issuance of a Trap, Transport and Transplant (Triple T) permit, which is required in order to introduce new deer onto the property, providing they meet certain data collection and stocking criteria.
The commission also removed the limit on the number of deer that can be removed from those properties before importing additional deer. This change allows landowners more flexibility in the number of deer they can import to their property without negative implications on plant communities.
In addition, authority was granted to allow buck deer to be included in Triple T activities that are authorized for inconsequential purposes or for sites that do not require a site inspection.
Provisions were also adopted that affect how properties conduct certain management practices under MLD permits, including penalties for abuses.
For example, a one-year suspension for properties that exceed the harvest quota in a Wildlife Management Plan was created.
New rules also require that all buck deer moved by Triple T permit have antlers removed prior to transport, which provides additional safety for trappers and for the animals.
