It's beautiful and I can't wait to wear it!
The Lord has Inspired My Mind and Blessed Me With the Ability to Work with My Hands...
I would hate to ever stray from giving the Lord credit for how He created me. He blessed me with the urge to create each and every day. It has been a gift that covers so many needs. A gift to help create a home for our family of 8, a gift to help me work through emotions both good and bad, a gift to help provide and keep us in full time ministry, a gift to help me connect with others, a gift to allow me to give tangibly to others, a gift of work that I love to do!
This journey began as a young child and has continued to grow and change with each year. Having Whimsie Dots has allowed me a place to learn, try new things, better my skills, connect with other creatives, and pass my passion on to others. I have been able to combine so many of my passions-whether it be sewing/quilting, a love for repurposing, encouraging the thrift shop junkie in me and my love for vintage.
I have been blessed to be a stay at home, home-schooling mom to 6 kiddos(which currently range from 19 down to 4 years old)-and the need to help provide came very naturally and in God's perfect timing 14 years ago, after practicing for 25+ years on friends and family.
I had many encouragers and teachers along the way, but I am most comfortable learning on my own. I rarely work with patterns, but enjoy coming up with my own most of the time. My mittens are exceptions to that rule:). I am visually stimulated by color and design and my home is testament to that. Change is also a beloved companion to my creativity-and my children can attest to that:).

Hi all, I give my TAG fresh fruit and veg every morning. I want to know how much is enough. He will fininsh whatever fruit there is, does not matter how much. Afterwards his poop is VERY watery. He takes it easy on the veggies though. I only give him his pellets from 1 pm and then I just make sure that his water and pellets is topped up throughout the day until sleep time. I also give him soft food every Wednesday and Saturday, I add Multivitamin, Minerals & Trace Elements and Pro-Biotics. So this happens twice week. I also give him different pellets every other day, just not to bore him. He loves almond nuts, he eats about 3 per day, is this good???
I give my bird boiled egg once a week + baked shell. Chicken bone once a month, and treats like yoghurt once a week. Is this method of feeding ok?????
And can anyone please tell me how much fruit I should give.

Brief Intro:
The Muslim Jihad, or holy war/struggle, has been a hot topic around the world. Islam is the fastest growing major religion on the planet. There are millions right here in the United States. There have been many purported definitions or explanations of what Islam actually describes the Jihad to be, from an all out conquering of the globe with the slaughter of those who refuse to submit, to just a peaceful and spiritual struggle for holiness and Allah's divine favor. What does the Qur'an actually teach? What do the Hadith's (early explanations and directions for Muslims from Muhammad) actually teach? This site aims to answer those questions and provide a holistic understanding of Islam.

OCTAL, a global leader in the packaging industry, has tripled its annual production capacity of PET resin used for water, juice and soft drink bottles this month with the commissioning of two of the world's largest vertical reactors at the company's leading-edge PET Complex in Salalah. With a total system output of 1 million metric tons per year of PET bottle grade resin, OCTAL has firmly secured its stature in the industry as the largest PET producing site in the world at any single location.
"This milestone is nothing short of incredible," said Chairman Sheikh Saad Suhail Bahwan. "What we have previously been able to produce in three years can now be achieved in only one, giving us a stronger competitive advantage to serve the growing demand for high quality and performing PET resin and sheet in emerging and transitional economies."
With the global packaging industry poised to reach US$ 820 billion by 2016, Sheikh Bahwan said, "We are building for the future and are confident that PET will continue to register strong demand given its unmatched mechanical and optical properties. This is driven by rising need for lightweight, functional, user friendly and environmentally responsible packaging."
Sheikh Bahwan went on to say that the company is now half way through its investment plan with additional capacity scheduled for 2015 and 2016. When complete, the site will manufacture a total of 2.5 Million Tons per annum of PET and PTA. He said that it is a great source of pride and accomplishment for OCTAL and Oman as a nation to have made such great strides in only four years.
OCTAL supplies more than 60 countries across the Middle East, Europe, America and Africa with its PET resin that boast the lowest carbon footprint. Starting this month, the company will generate US$ 100 Million in monthly exports which represent approximately 2% of Oman's GDP. OCTAL's groundbreaking material science technology continues to attract an impressive roster of customers from thermoformers to brands, retailers and merchandizers including Walmart, Coca-Cola, Nestlé, Unilever, P&G and Almarai to name a few.
Through the application of pioneering technology, OCTAL has set the global benchmark not only in superior product quality and sustainability, but also in productivity and cost efficiency.

Not bad
Good sound effects on this one with a pretty decent beat. A bit of a different sound to it. Kind of sounded incomplete to me or like it should keep going just a tad bit more. Not really a great ending to the song in my opinion.
It has it's high points in the beginning and middle of the song, but slows down to nothing too great. Basic song all around. Not too bad not too great.

Kinda odd.
The beat was really nice. I think you could have faded the melody in a bit sooner though, I was expecting it after one or two bars.
I'm not really sure about the rest of the song..The melody was fine, but when that thing came in that sounded like ether flatulence or a lawnmower trying to start, it just kinda cuaght me off guard..I'm not really sure I liked it to be honest.
The ending was simple, but nice and it fit well. Good job on that.

Nice beat
Good fading in of the melody to the beat here. I like the way that the whole piece seems to fit together nicely. I'm quite happy to listen to this piece as I play on certain games and keep myself in a gaming mood. Certianly something that implies urgency and it would be a decent tue for driving games.
I'm not sure about what sounds like a motorbike revving its engine over the top of the latter part of the tune. Perhaps toning that part of the tune down would assist in the production, but it's something that could be viewed as a minor niggle on the scale of the tune.

Simple, and cool
Score: 8 / 10
Summary: Simple, and cool
Review: This is a really simple track, but it's still entertaining and a pretty cool song.
Drums souonded great, with a little variety, but seeing as this is house, you should probably try some other samples as well. Just a suggestion, of course. I liked the scratch-like sound, even though it kinda ruined some transitions.
Nice intro, and nice outro. Simple and clean, which rarely sounds good, but in this case, it really does.
Work on the transitions and drums, and try to vary the melody more, as it got a little tiring. Also make sure that it's louder than the rythmics.

Rated 3.5 / 5 stars
Quite Cool :D
Not such a bad song. I'm not really into house music though, but I quite enjoyed this. I noticed a few things which bothered me though.
I'll start with the drums. Very well executed, and varied pretty well, but more variety of the drum samples would help, as Denn-C said. Still, quite awesome. The scraping sounds in it were quite strange, though.
The transitions were quite well done, like the one at around 1:19. Still, the sraping sound ruined it a little.
The intro was quite cool, and the buildups were OK. I liked the ending quite a bit, and I understand how hard it is to make an ending with drums only, so good job on that ;).
Overall, needs some work on it, but compare to some other house songs I heard, this one's quite good. Keep up the good work ;).

Master gardeners join Wilcox Park renovation effort
Master gardeners join Wilcox Park renovation effort
WESTERLY — The jewel of downtown Westerly is sparkling anew. Wilcox Park, the 15-acre Victorian strolling park with a bounty of champion trees, is being spruced up by volunteers from the University of Rhode Island's Master Gardener Program, and is being highlighted by an award- winning landscape historian.
"We're upping our game," said Daniel Snydacker, who is serving as the library's interim director during Executive Director Brigitte Hopkins' maternity leave. Snydacker explained that a renewed effort is underway to remind the public that the Westerly Library is connected with Wilcox Park.
Wilcox Park, which is owned and maintained by the Memorial and Library Association of Westerly, has been on the National Register of Historic Places since 1973 and was cited as a Medallion Park by the American Society of Landscape Architects. The land was donated by Harriet Wilcox in memory of her husband, Stephen Wilcox, who was the moving force behind the building of the library, in 1898.
"So many people think the park is a town park or a public park, but the library and the park are one and the same," Snydacker said.
"We're reinvigorating our programs and services so we continue to serve the community in the best ways we can," he continued. The library will host a program at 7:30 p.m. Friday with landscape historian and architect Martha Lyon for a presentation on Warren Manning, the landscape architect who created the original design for Wilcox Park.
Snydacker said that Manning, who worked briefly with Frederick Law Olmsted, "is one of America's most important landscape architects."
In addition to Wilcox Park, he said, Manning designed at least seven other projects in Westerly and Watch Hill.
On Saturday, at 10:30 a.m., Lyon and Park Superintendent Alan Peck will lead a guided tour through the park highlighting the design and assortment of trees that make Wilcox park "one of the finest urban parks in New England."
The master gardeners' presence in the park is part of a larger three-part project, according to Peck, who called working with the gardeners "a win-win situation."
Master gardener Corliss Merkel of Westerly, who worked with Peck on developing the project, said part of the first phase involves the placement of an information kiosk in the park. Gardeners with questions about their soil, plants and trees will now be able to ask questions of a master gardener beginning this Saturday from 9 a.m. until noon, and continuing on several Saturdays through the fall.
"The master gardeners already have kiosks in other parts of the state so we're very excited to have a presence in the Westerly area," said Merkel, calling the park "the jewel of Westerly."
Peck said that soon the master gardeners will begin docent-led tours as part of the joint project, which also includes the renovation and maintenance of the park's four native plant demonstration gardens and the renovation, expansion and maintenance of the rain garden.
Peck said the tours will include stops at all the gardens in the park as well as to the park's monuments, memorials, eight champion trees and seven runner-up champion trees.
"Wilcox Park has a bounty of trees and an awful lot of diversity," said John Campanini, the technical adviser for the Rhode Island Tree Council, a nonprofit group dedicated to improving the state's tree resources. "Some are quite spectacular."
Campanini, who said that a champion tree is defined as the biggest tree of its kind in the state, called the park's 98-foot sycamore maple "really quite exceptional."
Peck said, "For 15 acres, we have an incredible collection of trees. Eight champions and a half a dozen runners-up."
In Manning's original design, an open meadow was to be at the center, with "a few fine trees, each situated as to be absolutely unrestricted in their growth and thus becoming the dominant feature in the landscape."
Peck said that Wilcox Park was Manning's first work in his solo career.
Vanessa Venturini, state coordinator for URI's master gardener program, said the partnership with Peck and Wilcox Park was an exciting opportunity to educate the public and to offer area master gardeners — who come from the greater Westerly area and nearby Connecticut towns — the chance to volunteer for credit, one of the requirements of membership. The joint effort is the first time the master gardeners will have a presence in the Westerly area.
Peck said that volunteerism in the park has always been strong, and that the URI master gardeners will work alongside the existing volunteer staff, including volunteers from Save the Bay, who were instrumental in planting the rain garden last year.
Merkel said the information kiosk will be in Wilcox Park on the second Saturday of each month (July 12, Aug. 9, Sept. 13 and Oct. 11) and travel to the Westerly Farmers Market on the third Thursday of the month (July 17, Aug. 21, Sept.18 and Oct. 16), from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m., and to the Weekapaug Farmers Market on July 25 and Aug. 22 from 8:30 to 11:30 a.m.
Peck, who said that new park signage is also in the works, praised the Town of Westerly for its ongoing collaboration with the park.
"I've had expert assistance from Town Planner Marilyn Sheldon," he said. "In return I keep my eyes on the trees around town."

The deadline for expressions of interest in MacGen is 10am Monday.
Private equity-owned
AGL's biggest rivals,
With a book value of $2.1 billion, MacGen comprises two large black coal fired plants, Bayswater and Liddell, whose combined 4640 megawatts in the Hunter Valley represent 9 per cent of the national electricity market.
Declining electricity demand in NSW, relatively weak wholesale prices and the carbon price have combined to darken the outlook for the plants, with dividends to the state set to plunge over the next two years, according to the state budget.
She told The Australian Financial Review that the 2640 MW Bayswater plant is the lowest short-run marginal cost generator in the national electricity market, while Liddell, which runs more like a peaking plant, is "not inefficient either".
The NSW government has left the way open for bids for either one or both of the plants to try to ensure the widest possible interest. But AGL, advised by Citigroup, is widely expected to hit competition obstacles if it bids for both and is thought to be targeting Bayswater, the larger, newer and more reliable of the plants.
AGL chief executive
He has flagged that AGL's current difficulties in NSW over coal seam gas have also heightened sovereign risk within the state, which would feed through to its valuation of the power plants.
AGL was also an under-bidder in the first round of the privatisation, where it lost out to Origin and EnergyAustralia.
But after buying out its partners from the Loy Yang A brown coal power station in Victoria last year, AGL is seen as a strong contender for one of the MacGen plants. An AGL spokeswoman declined to comment.
ERM, meanwhile, has rapidly grown its commercial customer base and would benefit from base-load capacity to strengthen its vertical integration. Advised by UBS, it has abandoned plans to link with a partner and is contemplating a solo bid for MacGen.
Some sources point out that even one of the MacGen plants would be a large bite for ERM, particularly as debt financing is expected to be difficult for the coal-fired generators, leaving a bidder mostly reliant on equity.
The sale of MacGen is targeted for early 2014. It will be followed by the sale of the Delta Central Coast assets, comprising the Vales Point coal-fired plant and the Colongra gas-fired peaker, in which AGL may also be interested, sources say.

Glock 27 point of impact
I am new to this forum and appreciate being able to join it. i recently purchased a glock 27 and if I line the sights up level i shoot really low at 10 yards. I also have a .45 Kimber that I line the front sight up even with the back sight and it hits perfectly out to 20 yards so I expected that with my Glock. At 10 yards in order to be accurate I have to place the front sight dot above the rear sight. It looks like a ball sitting on a shelf. This is my first glock so I am unfamiliar with the intricacies of the weapon. It is fixed site...so my question is....is it me? Can I purchase a taller rear sight to install?
I certainly am no handgun expert....the aiming is just different from what I have ever done with any of my weapons. I appreciate any advice or recommendations.
I am no Glock expert here, there are others on here that have Glocks and may have another solution, but if you are only doing it with the new Glock, I would think that is because the Glock trigger has a longer pull and is just different enough from the other triggers like your Kimber, with a shorter pull.
Practice dry firing the Glock more and shoot it more to get used to how the trigger feels. Don't adjust the sights or aim high to compensate. Just dry fire to get an idea of what a correct trigger break with a Glock feels like and then follow up with some good slow fire practice. Focus on a perfect trigger press, every time.
I think you will see improved results after doing this. :)
P.S. Mods may need to move these posts to the Handguns/Glock section.
I'm not a Glock guy either but isn't the 27 a tiny one? Perhaps they sight them in at closer than 10 yards. It's also possible it's just "off" - I had a Taurus that shot way low and I filed down the front sight...
VERY common for people to hit low with a Glock. Generally low left for right handed shooters. Try it from a solid rest to eliminate the shooter input, you will likely see a very different point of impact.
Practice does not make perfect. Perfect practice makes perfect.
I might suggest that you look further down into the FTF website and you will see a room for nothing but Glocks. Maybe you can find more answers there from people who own or know more about them.
The G27 doesn't allow for a full grip and has a shorter barrel than your kimber due to it's size. It is also a .40 S&W and to a 45 acp. Add in the trigger compared to your kimber I expect it shoots much differently. I doubt the G27 is expected to be used at 20 yards but with practice it should do well at 10 yards.
My Girlfriend has a G27 and shoots it well at 5-10 yards. Robo gave good advice try and shoot it from a rest to figure out if it's you or the sights on the firearm.
Yes the 27 is a tiny one....maybe i am just not used to shooting such a small weapon...i am going to try the advice of igeteven and see if the results change... but i may have to take drastic measures....we will see i guess
Thanks i am going to try shooting from a rest and some shooting exercises this weekend...i appreciate the help ...at least i have a direction to go with now
Your suggestions worked! I used a lot more trigger control today and was very surprised to notice how long the trigger pulll really is on the G27....at first i was hitting at the right height but to the left...then i noticed my grip on the pistol....i consciously held the pistol grip a little different and whammo....8 shots in 1 1/2" circle at 10 yds. then i went to 20 yards and rested on my tailgate and 8 shots in a 4 1/2" circle.....very different from my first day out with the baby! i will have to practice more for these changes to become "el natural" for me...but now i can shoot fine by thinking about what I am doing! Thanks for all your help and advice.....i went from disgust to feeling really great about my acquistion!
Glad to hear you had a good time out. Keep it up and you should do well.

Beijing, Nov 6 (IANS) India should seek mutual benefits with China in current oil and gas exploration in Central Asia, rather than attempting to challenge the more 'experienced power' in this region, according to a leading Chinese daily.
In an article Tuesday, the Global Times said India began exploring the energy potential of the region later than China and that it can hardly enter the field as an independent investor.
"Due to its geopolitical disadvantages and the current oil and gas exploration in Central Asia, India can hardly enter this field as an independent investor. A wise choice would be to cooperate with the West, Russia or China.
"Judging from energy policies in both China and India, New Delhi should seek mutual benefits with China, rather than attempting to challenge the more experienced power in this region," said the article, written by Liu Qian, an assistant research fellow at the Academy of Chinese Energy Strategy with the China University of Petroleum, Beijing.
According to the article, the Central Asia region is rich in oil and gas and both India and China have began to compete in the region.
"Central Asia is rich in oil and gas. China and India, with growing energy consumption, both need to participate in the region's energy exploration. As a result, the two have begun to compete in the region," it said.
"India began exploring the energy potential of the region even later than China. While there are some efforts at cooperation, India barely has any presence at the moment.
"But some aggressive Indian media outlets believe India can directly challenge China in the region, basing this claim on a potential 8.4 percent Indian stake in Kashagan, a Kazakh oil company, and the recent plans for two pipelines from Turkmenistan to China and India," it added.
The article said China has gradually gained momentum in energy cooperation with Central Asia and has made impressive progress.
"As for the competition between the China-Central Asia natural gas pipeline and the Turkmenistan-Afghanistan-Pakistan-India natural gas pipeline, it does exist, but not in the tense contradiction that the Indian media portrays.
"Currently, the China-Central Asia natural gas pipeline has a stable supply and has been expanded. By contrast, the Turkmenistan-Afghanistan-Pakistan-India pipeline is still in its initial stage, and the biggest threats come from the Afghan situation and India-Pakistan relations. India needs to deal with both issues cautiously which is a huge task," it said.

A couple who met in a coffee bar are celebrating 60 years of marriage this week.
George and Kathleen Girt were married at St Oswald's Church in Guiseley on July 31 1954.
The couple, now in their 80s, were teenagers when they met at the coffee bar at White Cross in Guiseley.
Mrs Girt, who also celebrates her 81st birthday this week, was 17 when she met her husband to be at the bar where young people used to gather.
The couple, who have lived in Yeadon since the early days of their marriage, have two sons, Steven and Trevor, and five grandchildren.
They were planning to celebrate their anniversary this week with family including their daughters-in-law Jane and Sue.
Because she had her first child Mrs Girt worked for a Guiseley company which fitted toilet cisterns. Mr Girt, 83, who was a maintenance fitter, also spent more than 22 years in the TA after completing his national service. The couple, who have always enjoyed an outdoor life, still caravan together.
Mrs Girt said: "When we got married you got married and it was for life. You have got to have give and take .
"I'm not saying we haven't had our ups and downs – we have, and I would defy anyone to say any different. But we have had a good life.
Mr Girt added: "It is like gardening – whatever you put in, you get out."

The Gaisberg, Fleckalm, Wiegenalm and Lisi Osl trails are absolute premier class when it comes to downhill tracks! Only absolute pros should attempt this.

There is not much I want to say except that I almost burst of parental pride when I saw Felix in the most important business publication of Uruguay ("El Empresario").
Felix is to be envied to be able to work for Burson-Marsteller, a top international communications firm.
Being one of the company´s regional digital media strategists he gets to train his colleagues in the field offices in Latin America, and assists them in advising corporate clients how to "become digital" to maintain and enhance relevance communicating with stakeholders and customers. That entails both establishing close human bonds with his overseas colleagues, and making on-the-spot client presentations.
When I was Felix´s age I also worked in PR - but as a press officer of an investment company, my work consisted mainly of writing, and placing, articles about mutual funds. Not boring but certainly not as exciting as Felix´s job with B-M.
This is the second time a Uruguayan publication reported about a member of the family. In 1936, a newspaper featured Felix´s grandfather, Wolfgang Julius Leander, after he performed much noticed aerobatic flights with a 80 HP Buecker-Jungmann biplane in Montevideo. Makes me feel good about both my dad and my son.

By Contributed Item in Local People
No boat? No worries! There are few establishments on Barry Island where folk are able to enjoy a drink and take in a beautiful Channel view.
Barry Yacht Club, in an enviable position overlooking the harbour and Jackson's Bay, is one of them, but these pleasures have until now only been available to full, boat owning or associate members, or to members of the public who have visited the club for an event.
For the first time in its 89 years, Barry Yacht Club has opened the door to social membership. On a recent Friday, a new social members' get together was attended by around 60 people, a mix of prospective and current members. The atmosphere in the club was buzzing!
New members discovered the benefits of becoming a BYC member which include preferential bar and ticket prices for events at the club… and those views!

"I want to make this, but I don't have a bread machine. Please help! Thanks!"
"I made this exactly as the recipe is written and it was WONDERFUL. I wouldn't change a thing."
"I have been making this every year since it was first published. I have to make a double batch since my MIL loves it so much too! It is just as good when I substitute about 1½ cups of white whole wheat flour for added nutrition. I have made this in standard loaves, mini loaves, and knotted rolls. It always turns out fabulous and there are never any crumbs left!"
"This turned out to be my Mother-in-Law's favorite - I make it often and it always turns out perfect!"

This will be a rather quick post as I'm busting to pee and I need to get on the road, but just wanted to share this with you because I'm quite pleased with myself.
It was a slow day so I started mucking around with images and decided I'd make a new cover for my copy of Red Dead Redemption.
Now bear in mind that this is the first game cover I've ever made, feel free to critique, but I will continue to hone my skills so don't completely crush me.
As I said, feel free to provide me with any feedback and if you like the look of it, I'm not the game cover police, help yourself..
Note: Unfortunately I had to upload as a gif due to file size restrictions so the quality suffered a little, but if you really want it I'll either link it from somewhere else for you or email it to you, let me know..
Thanks for reading!

I love the choir. It sounds very pretty and definitely establishes the theme of church very well. The organ and strings really work well together. I think the progression is interesting, and the melodic and harmonic content is superb. It's rather fast-paced at times, and sometimes there could be more smoothly-done transitions, like at 3:05. The ending seemed fitting, though, even if it was a bit rushed. It has a good sense of direction to it throughout, and I hear no problems with the mixing or mastering. All the reverb on the instruments really gave it the feel of being performed in a chapel, btw. This is, overall, a very entertaining and creative piece. Haunting, in a way - maybe the church is abandoned? Anyway, excellent job! This is a very amusing work! ;)
Rated 5 / 5 stars
This piece is simply amazing. It definitely fits with the tags, boss, battle, holy, and darkness. I could see this in some kind of RPG game like Final Fantasy or Crono Trigger. In fact I'd prefer this to alot of the music in games now a days. Anyways I'd love to see more of this type of music from you.
Rated 5 / 5 stars
So good ^.^
Thank you very much :)

that choir is damn beautiful.. I WANT THAT. hypersonic 2.0 is what provides it? and awesome job on this.
It's a mix between Hypersonic 2, and Magnus Choir, check them out =)

Pennsylvania voter ID law upheld
Updated 11:02 pm, Wednesday, August 15, 2012
Ryan raps program but scores grant
Republican vice presidential candidate Rep. Paul Ryan has been one of the harshest critics of President Obama's economic stimulus plan. But months after Congress approved the nearly $800 billion package, the Wisconsin lawmaker was trying to steer money under the program to companies in his home state.
In 2009, Ryan wrote to Energy Secretary Steven Chu seeking stimulus grant money, and the nonprofit Wisconsin Energy Conservation Corp. received $20.3 million to help homes and businesses improve energy efficiency, federal records show.

Obama's beer talk may create buzz
While Mitt Romney talks about family and hard work, President Obama is talking beer.
Consumer research shows that beer is most popular with the very voters that Obama and Romney are fighting over: Middle-America independents.
Obama likes microbrews, too, and he bought a beer-making kit (with personal funds) for the White House. The kitchen staff has made three varieties: White House Honey Ale, White House Honey Blonde Ale and White House Honey Porter. All are made with honey from Michelle Obama's kitchen garden.
Judge upholds Pennsylvania law
A tough new voter identification law championed by Republicans can take effect in Pennsylvania for November's presidential election, a state judge ruled Wednesday, despite criticism that it will suppress votes among President Obama's supporters and make it harder for the elderly, disabled, poor and young adults to vote.
Judge Robert Simpson said he would not grant an injunction that would have halted the law, which requires each voter to show a valid photo ID. Opponents are expected to appeal the ruling.

Cape Town - Most South Africans love carbohydrates and because of this they often eat too much from this food group.
With summer and especially the festive season upon us many people may want to shed some winter kilos and low carbohydrate diets sound appealing as there are so many (short term) success stories.
We know that low carbohydrate diets containing less energy may have short term beneficial effects on weight, but concerns for the professionals have always been the long term implications of a low carbohydrate intake.
Let's take a look first at what the term 'low carbohydrate diet' actually means. There are a number of different definitions for a low carbohydrate diet which is why it is no wonder that the general public may be confused:
1) A reduced or moderate carbohydrate diet contains a minimum of 130g of carbohydrates per day (26% of a 2000kcal diet)
2) A low carbohydrate diet contains 30-130g of carbohydrate per day (less than 26% of a 2000kcal diet)
3) A very low carbohydrate or ketogenic diet contains less than 30g of carbohydrates per day (less than 10% of a 2000kcal diet)
Diets that provide 50-55% of total energy as carbohydrates provide 200-275g of carbohydrates in a 2000kcal energy diet.
However, when you are trying to lose weight you will need to decrease your calories, which will naturally bring about a decrease of all the macronutrients (carbohydrates, proteins and fats).
We know that carbohydrates affect the blood glucose levels and that a continuous supply of glucose to the cells is what is physiologically needed (if you don't put the glucose in, your body will need to get it from its own sources – either muscle or fat).
Remember though that carbohydrates consist not only of starches and sugars but also include fruits, starchy vegetables and milk.
What's more, eating proteins and fats (with the carbohydrates) helps to increase insulin secretion which can ultimately help with blood sugar control.
It is therefore evident that eating low GI, higher fibre carbohydrates regularly throughout the day together with some (low fat) protein or (healthy) fat is the best way to keep your blood sugar levels constant and allow your body to function best.
The World Health Organisation recommends that we have no less than 130g of carbohydrate per day as it is known that our bodies need a minimum of 130g of carbohydrate so that there is enough glucose for the central nervous system to work properly.
A meal plan of 130g of carbohydrates would look something like this (no proteins or fats have been included in this meal plan):
Breakfast – 1 cup cereal plus 1 cup milk
Snack – 2 x fruit
Lunch – 1 slice bread
Snack – 1 x fruit plus 1 x yoghurt
Dinner – ½ cup starch
An interesting study was published in the British Medical Journal this year which found that low carbohydrate, high protein diets used for many years on a regular basis are associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular disease.
In the study over 43 000 Swedish women, aged 30-49 years were followed up for an average of 15.7 years.
The researchers found that a 20g decrease in daily carbohydrate intake and a 5g increase in daily protein intake would correspond to a 5% increase in overall risk of cardiovascular disease.
We do need more long-term studies, specifically to determine the minimum and maximum amount of carbohydrates that would be safe and effective. However, in the meanwhile it is beneficial to practice balanced eating (following the food based dietary guidelines) and not to be influenced by media reports suggesting high protein diets with unknown long term side effects.

The launch of a new political party will see a husband and wife go head-to-head.
First-time prospective councillor John Mansfield is going up against wife Barbara Mansfield, who is standing again as a Conservative for the Cricket Green ward, Mitcham in the local elections next month.
Mr Mansfield is one of three candidates who formed the Mitcham Independent Party last week.
Mr Mansfield said he likes a challenge and said there is rivalry in the house at the moment, with the elections only weeks away.
The party, registered with the Electoral Commission on Tuesday, April 15, pledges to address shortages in school places, lorry movements in Church Road and fly-tipping in the town centre.
Mr Mansfield said the party wanted to reduce council tax but have not had time to look at the figures yet.
He said: "We want to get Mitcham independent before Scotland.
"So we're not tied to a party, to a central office.
"We want to fight for Mitcham people."
The Mitcham Independent Party will launch its manifesto on Tuesday, May 6 at Mitcham Parish Church in Church Road from 7.30pm to 9pm.
The party is made up of Alan Hutchings, a businessman and activist who has lived and worked in the Cricket Green ward for 45 years, Mr Mansfield, chairman of the Mitcham Society and businessman Stuart Morrison.
The elections will be held on Thursday, May 22.

Echofon for Mac is no longer in development. TUAW's Twitter Client Project surveys popular desktop alternatives in highly subjective reviews.
Sometimes the answer to Twitter clients might be to just go find another service to socialize on. Many people are now turning to App dot Net as a social outlet.
I admit that I'm still a Twitterholic, but on Victor's request, I headed over to ADN for a couple of weeks of exploration and testing. There, I ran into Kiwi for Mac (US$9.99).
Itself a refugee from Twitter's somewhat developer-unfriendly new policies, the devs withdrew the original Kiwi Twitter client. They are focusing on providing a full-featured ADN client instead.
I really like the visual look of Kiwi. It's sparse and clean. The devs have made some really good layout choices. The icons are well-chosen and small touches like a global feed that can stay scrolled at the top (Prefs > General > Scrolling > Sticks to top when at top) show they listen to their users.
I did, however, find the navigation more confusing than it had to be and encountered some bugs. This is a minor quibble, however.
The buttons at the top of each screen are tied to the function being displayed. You can't just treat the app as globally tabbed, which is what I initially expected. It's a stack-based navigation browser, which keeps pushing new views.
What makes this harder is that buttons at the top keep changing. The go-back button at some point switches to a personal profile button so if you just mechanically click (I did), you end up toggling back and forth between your home screen and some bit or another of your profile and never get anywhere.
I think I would have preferred tabs overall so I wouldn't have to keep searching for the global feed which came and went by screen.
Also, when you click a... what do you call it? Not a tweet. A twapp? When you click a twapp, I'd rather it have opened up a drawer to show detail views. It bothered me that basic functionality choices came and went depending on the screen. And also that where you clicked on the twapp mattered about what view came next because there were no visual indicators that each twapp wasn't a monolithic element apart from blue links.
Kiwi experienced regular crashing during my tests, mostly when the app was idle. It's still under active development and version 3.0.1 was just released. I have not had a chance to extensively test the new version.
One of the biggest problems I had with ADN was its APIs. As far as I can tell (and please correct me if I'm wrong), you cannot search the global feed with arbitrary phrases. For this reason, Kiwi only offers searches for users, not content.
I liked how Kiwi supported image posting (a must-have feature, in my opinion, for any client) but I discovered that the lag in processing the picture through img.ly didn't mix well with typing. After requesting an image link, the client actually inserted the processed link as I was typing, so the link appeared like this. It was not what I was expecting.
In the end, Kiwi seems to offer all the core functionality you need for App.net. I found it easy to read, reply to and favorite twapps. As for ADN itself, I'm still unconvinced on that front but I'm glad I gave it a whirl.

Stocks to watch
Credit Suisse has downgraded cement producer Adelaide Brighton to an "underperform" rating and has lowered its target price to $3.55 from $3.60. "Financial discipline has (uncharacteristically) been relaxed in what we believe is a defensive move to protect ABC's most profitable cement market (South Australia)," the bank said.
Deutsche Bank has a "hold" rating on Tabcorp Holdings and a $3.70 target price.
With profit comes pressure for Australia's big four banks, according to a weekend Chanticleer column.
Average daily volumes in the global foreign exchange market dropped by almost 14 per cent in July, data from FX settlement system CLS showed, as traders took their summer breaks and as volatility approached historic lows.
A year after the Bank of England launched forward guidance on monetary policy, governor Mark Carney faces the opposite challenge this week - to say as little as possible about exactly when interest rates will start rising. Carney is due to present the British central bank's updated economic forecasts at 0930 GMT on Wednesday.
Asset managers will agree to pay more for currency "fixing" services when they respond later this month to proposals by global regulators for reforms of foreign exchange benchmarks, industry sources said on Friday.
OPEC trimmed its 2014 global oil demand growth forecast for a second consecutive month and said the group managed to increase output in July despite violence in Iraq and Libya, pointing to more comfortable global supplies.
Gold premiums in top buyer China have been stuck at $US2-$US3 an ounce and demand is much weaker than last year, dealers said. Natixis analyst Bernard Dahdah said gold prices would be much lower without geopolitical factors because Asian physical buying and US investment demand were both lagging.
Norwegian salmon prices are expected to fall 10 percent in the next week as a result of Russia's food sanctions, traders and analysts said on Friday, forcing farmers to scramble for new markets at a time when prices are already under pressure.
United States
The S&P and Dow both posted their best day since March on Friday, with the market buoyed by news that Russia was ending military drills near the Ukrainian border, while investors overlooked US air strikes in Iraq.
Strong earnings lifted Nvidia shares 8.8 per cent to $US19.00, making it the S&P's biggest winner. The graphics chipmaker reported higher quarterly earnings and gave a forecast for the current quarter's revenues that exceeded Wall Street's estimates.
At mid-year, Boeing is crushing Airbus in the wide body jetliner market. Boeing has 273 net orders through July compared with a negative 27 for Airbus due to cancellations. The tally underscores the fierce battle between the world's two largest plane makers to dominate sales of the lucrative market for wide body planes, a market Boeing values at $US2.5 trillion over the next 20 years.
US nonfarm productivity rebounded more strongly than expected in the second quarter, but a sharp slowdown in unit labour costs pointed to still-tame wage pressures that could give the Federal Reserve room to keep interest rates low for a while.
Europe's major stock markets fell on Friday as investors fled for safe havens amid US air strikes in Iraq and fierce fighting on Ukraine's eastern border. Frankfurt's main index dropped below the psychologically important 9000-points level for the first time since March after Tokyo shares tumbled to a two-month low.
Shares in Banca Monte dei Paschi lost nearly 12 per cent after its second quarter results revealed a big rise in charges for souring loans. The news weighed on Italian banking shares and added to concern about the outlook for the economy, which sank into recession in the second quarter.
Abu Dhabi-based Etihad Airways will buy almost half of Alitalia and invest €560 million into the lossmaking Italian airline in a turnaround effort that will involve heavy job losses under a long-delayed deal signed on Friday.

The opulence continues inside, where marble tiles, gold-tinted windows, crystal chandeliers and gold statuettes add to the splendour of the temple. Overhead colourful ceiling frescoes portray the pastimes of Lord Krishna, while Chinese lanterns and gold plating add to its overall beauty.
Take time to centre your consciousness in the octagonal, beautifully appointed meditation room that is dominated by three towering pillars.

By Ben White
Washington Post Staff Writer
Friday, March 4, 2005; Page E01
NEW YORK, March 3 -- Bank of America Corp. agreed Thursday to pay $460.5 million to settle its part of the massive WorldCom Inc. class-action shareholder lawsuit, putting additional pressure on the 14 remaining banking defendants to settle as well.
Plaintiffs in the case, led by the New York State Common Retirement Fund, allege that Bank of America and other banks helped sell billions in WorldCom stock and bonds to investors in 2000 and 2001 even though they knew the telecommunications firm was falsifying its books. The banks have generally argued that they could not have known about WorldCom's fraud.
Bank of America denied breaking any laws in agreeing to the settlement. The firm said in a statement, "Bank of America believes it is in the best interests of the company to resolve these claims and put this litigation behind it and focus efforts on creating greater value for the shareholder."
The Bank of America settlement comes after Citigroup Inc., WorldCom's top underwriter, agreed last year to pay $2.6 billion to settle its portion of the case. If a federal judge approves the Bank of America settlement, total recovery in the case will rise to over $3 billion, the second largest amount in history, according to the WorldCom plaintiffs.
Hotel franchiser Cendant Corp. and its auditors agreed to the largest shareholder settlement in 1999 when it said it would pay investors and their lawyers $3.2 billion to settle accounting fraud claims. Further settlements in the WorldCom case could push the number well beyond $3.2 billion.
New York State Comptroller Alan G. Hevesi, sole trustee of New York's $120 billion public pension fund and the court-appointed lead plaintiff in the case, said the amount Bank of America paid was significant because it was determined using the same formula applied to Citigroup even though some argued that Citigroup was paying far too much to settle the case.
"The fact that we have achieved a settlement of this magnitude, and at the same rate as Citigroup paid earlier, sends a strong message to investment banks that investors expect and will require them to conduct meaningful due diligence, and not merely rely on others to perform their obligations. The public is entitled to disclosure of all relevant information relating to a stock or bond issuance," Hevesi said in a statement.
The class-action suit was filed by shareholders and bondholders who lost billions of dollars when the telecommunications giant filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in 2002 after revealing it had falsified its books to appear profitable in three years when it was actually losing money. WorldCom emerged from bankruptcy and now operates as Ashburn-based MCI Inc. The firm is currently examining takeover offers from Verizon Communications Inc. and Qwest Communications International Inc.
Leonard Barrack, an attorney for the plaintiffs, said the Bank of America deal would put added pressure on the remaining banks because each time a defendant settles it increases the potential liability of those remaining in the case. Experts have said they expect all of the banks to settle before the case goes to trial, scheduled to begin March 17.
The Bank of America deal also follows the collapse of a settlement with 10 former WorldCom directors who had agreed to pay $54 million, including $18 million of their own money, to close their portion of the case. The settlement dissolved after the judge overseeing the case rejected a key portion of the deal. Sources close to the case say a new settlement with the directors is unlikely but not impossible.

Westbury mums Ali Wood and Karen Wilkin will be taking on the Bath Half Marathon in March to raise money for Ronald McDonald House, which supported them while their children were at Bristol Children's Hospital.
The charity in Bristol provides free accommodation to families of critically ill children receiving care at the hospital, allowing them to be close to their child's medical team.
Mrs Wood, who lives in Primmers Place, was accommodated by Ronald McDonald House for 15 weeks in 2012 while her son Tyler, 11, waited for a suitable heart transplant donor.
She will be joined on the run by long-time friend Karen Wilkin, who was also provided with accommodation by the charity when her daughter Grace, six, needed heart surgery shortly after she was born.
Mrs Wood, who also ran the Bath Half in 2012, said: "It's the first time I've run to raise money for Ronald McDonald House, but it is a brilliant cause and provided me with a lot of support.
"The facilities are incredible and it is like a home from home, with everything you could possibly need. The staff were really welcoming as well and really helped me whenever I had a tough day.
"I wouldn't have got through it without the support from Ronald McDonald House. Tyler had the transplant in November 2012 and now he is healthy and doing really well.
"I have always done a bit of running and I have been part of the Westbury running group for about three years.
"The last time I ran the Bath Half I did it in 2hrs 43mins and I want to try and beat it this year."
The two friends have already raised £360 for Ronald McDonald House, but they want to raise as much as they can for the charity before visiting it with their children to thank staff and give them the money.
Mrs Wood, 42, added: "We don't have a specific target, we just want to raise as much as we can before meeting the staff."

WEYMOUTH were edged out in a West Women's Club East Division thriller in Warminster.
The Seasiders didn't start well and the home side got on top of the game early on in the first period.
It took only 10 minutes for the home side to score with a good finish, after the defenders had stopped waiting for a whistle for a foot in the D that didn't come.
Although the visitors felt hard done by, it gave them the wake-up call they needed and they started to play some good hock-ey.
Ten minutes into the game, Weymouth lost experienced defender Susie Stone to injury, which left them with only 11 players.
Olivia Culbreth replaced Stone and did an excellent job at right-back.
Some fine play resulted in plenty of good attacks down the right by Chloe Van Crugten and down the left by Caitlin Dive.
Weymouth were unlucky with a few shots on target and were awarded a penalty stroke after a well-worked penalty corner involving a one-two between Wendy Butcher and Emily Austin.
This resulted in Butcher beating the in-form keeper but her effort hit a defender's foot on the goal-line.
However, the Weymouth player scored with the penalty stroke.
Striker Rachel Bustin continued with her good form and always looked dangerous, she had numerous good shots on target only to be kept out by their keeper.
A minute later, Weymouth were caught napping and a quick counter-attack led to Wilts scoring again to give the hosts a 2-1 half-time lead.
The visitors played their best hockey in the second half and were unlucky not to score. However, Wilts scored twice in quick succession against the run of play and Weymouth found themselves 4-1 down with only 20 minutes to go.
Butcher scored again after the keeper saved a shot from Austin and she was first to the rebound and finished well.
Weymouth continued to have the majority of the play in the second half and, some great work down the left, resulted in Dive making a good run into the D and shot early to score the goal of the game to make it 4-3.
With the same short corner routine as the first half, Butcher beat the keeper again for it then to hit a defender's foot for another penalty stroke.
This time, Butcher was unlucky to narrowly miss the target as her effort hit a post.
Dive won the player of the match award, not only for her wonder goal but for her characteristic skilful play, alongside plenty of determination and hard work down the left, while in-form Van Crugten also had another good game on the right.
Weymouth: Craven, Stone, Culbreth, Ridler, Gadian, Rogers, Squibb, Van Crugten, Dive, Austin, Bustin
Player of the Match: Caitlin Dive
Bournemouth II 0 Salisbury II 1, Mendip 2 Frome 1, Swanage & Wareham 1 Wimborne Wayfarers 0, West Wilts 4 Weymouth 3, Yeovil & Sherborne II 3 Team Bath Buccaneers III 2.

NJOY Aims to Bring Vaping National
New product lineup includes rechargeables, flavors and a "high-vapor product."
SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. -- After finding success with the NJOY King, locally based NJOY is taking the next step in its product offering to include rechargeable and vaping products.
The electronic cigarette manufacturer is preparing to debut a rechargeable line of e-cigarette products and a "high vapor product" or a vapor-tank-mod (VTM), according to Bonnie Herzog, managing director of tobacco, beverage and consumer research at Wells Fargo Securities LLC. The company also plans to introduce an improved disposable NJOY King.
"The e-cig market is rapidly shifting and NJOY's strong brand, unique innovation capability and trade relationships position us best to meet emerging e-cig market needs," a company spokesman told CSNews Online.
NJOY expects to roll out its new product lineup nationally to between 35,000 and 40,000 retail locations this summer. Craig Weiss, NJOY president and CEO, and Geoff Vuleta, global chief marketing officer, revealed the company's plans to Herzog during a meeting on Monday.
"NJOY's announcement about its new VTM gives us further conviction behind our view that VTMs will become more mainstream given its superior performance to 'cig-alike' e-cigs," Herzog said. "NJOY aims to be the first manufacturer to 'bring vape national,' leveraging its strong brand name to partner with the largest retailers (such as 7-Eleven Inc.) and bringing a new level of professionalism and marketing innovation to the vapor category."
Wells Fargo Securities continues to believe VTMs are the future of vapor, she added, and NJOY's entrance should propel overall vapor growth and could help the e-cigarette maker stem its recent share losses.
"If the robust growth of VTMs continues and is not ultimately hindered by FDA regulation, we expect Big Tobacco has no choice but to enter either organically or via acquisition," Herzog noted. "Given [that] we view VTMs as a global opportunity, we believe NJOY may opt to strategically partner with another company in order to achieve international expansion and scale."
According to Herzog, NJOY breaks out the vapor market into six segments: disposables, rechargeables and vaping, and retail and online for each. NJOY's first-generation products focused on the disposable retail segment, but after seeing a slip in share in that arena, the company is now expanding its reach to all six segments.
Additionally, she noted that, according to Weiss, trade acceptance of NJOY's new products will be "universal." Herzog called that encouraging given that nearly 70 percent of retailers already see a negative traffic impact from vape shops or expect a negative impact soon. VTMs could help reverse the negative traffic impact.

That is why they have warranties. What brand is it?
Bushnell elite
What cal. rifle did you have it mounted on?...20MM Lahti?:D
when you say LENS fell off..you mean the front lens/glass fell out off the body? or just the sunshade/thread cover came off?
.308. And the whole lens came right out onto the bench
thats SUX..i dont own a bushnell elite,i have heard alot of good things about them.
definitely a defective scope!! you buy it locally or offline?
Locally. Bushnell is replacing it
thats good...
Hope they overnight the new one back to ya & the next scope works out ;)
Ty me too. :)
That truly sucks. I bought a very nice Weaver V-Classic $300 scope a few years back, and mounted it on my little 243 Weatherby. Tried to shoot with it for 2 days and it just wouldn't hold POI. Sent it to ATK(along with target printout) and they needed to replace the WHOLE INTERNAL ASSEMBLY and rebuilt it better, than just another scope off the assembly line. Came back perfect in less than 3 weeks.
Hope Bushnell has the same Customer Service for you and your scope. Sometimes with all the scopes that go through an assembly line in a single day, and I'm sure there's a lot, there's bound to be a lemon that gets through, and of course we're the one's that find them, out of all the choices to choose from.

Lafferty plans Burnley stay
Kyle Lafferty insists he is happy at Burnley amid rumours he could be on the move in January.
Last Updated: 31/10/07 2:28pm
Kyle Lafferty insists he is happy at Burnley amid rumours he could be on the move in January.
Celtic and Wolves have previously had bids rejected for the Northern Ireland international, while Aston Villa are reportedly considering a New Year swoop.
The striker's former international boss Lawrie Sanchez is also understood to be keen to give Lafferty a chance in the Premier League at Fulham.
But the youngster, who has scored once in 10 Championship appearances this season, feels his development will be best served by staying at Turf Moor.
Genuine family
"This is my first club and where it has all happened for me, so I owe it to Burnley to do all I can," Lafferty told the Lancashire Evening Telegraph.
"When Celtic were interested, a lot of stuff came out in the papers that I didn't really say, but the fans stuck by me and they have been great.
"The bunch of lads the manager has here are great and it's a genuine family club. I'm perfectly happy and I just want to keep on playing my football here.
"The gaffer knows what is best for me and I have to trust him."

Arizona Game and Fish Dept. Tries to Spin CA Condor Lead Poisonings as "Success Story"
PHOENIX— As part of a campaign opposing limits on toxic lead ammunition in the Kaibab National Forest, the Arizona Department of Game and Fish is asserting that the best measure of efforts to protect California condors from lead ammunition is not the number of lead-related condor deaths but the percentage of hunters enrolled in a volunteer program to reduce exposure to lead bullets.
original image (4288x2848)
"Anyone who suggests that the best gauge of success for protecting condors from lead poisoning is anything other than reducing the number of lead poisonings and condor deaths is not serious about preventing condor deaths," said Jeff Miller with the Center for Biological Diversity. "There's simply no justification for continuing to use ammunition that poisons the food supply for birds — and for people who eat game meat — when nonlead alternatives are readily available for all hunting activities."
The Department put out a press release this week stating that "Arizona Game and Fish believes [the] voluntary non-lead ammo program [is] more effective than a regulated ban for endangered condors." The Department is opposing efforts by conservation groups to have the Forest Service require use of nontoxic hunting ammunition on the Kaibab National Forest to prevent the continued lead poisoning of endangered condors.
The Department claims that California's regulations requiring nonlead ammunition for hunting in the condor range have been ineffective and that Arizona's program asking hunters to voluntarily use copper bullets or dispose of lead-tainted gut piles has been a success simply because, for the past two years, 88 percent of the hunters in Arizona's condor range have participated in the program.
The Facts
In California 11 condors have been confirmed killed by lead poisoning since regulations requiring the use of nonlead hunting ammunition in the California range of the condor went into effect in the fall of 2008. Necropsies are pending to determine the cause of death for two additional condors that died in California in 2013.
State game officials and experts with the condor recovery program believe that continued lead poisoning of condors in California is due to violations of state hunting laws by hunters and poaching, not due to any other potential source of lead.
In Arizona 15 California condors have been confirmed killed by lead poisoning in that same time period. Six other recent condor deaths are awaiting necropsy and 20 additional condors have gone missing and are dead of unknown causes in the Arizona/Utah region in this same time period. Experts with the condor recovery program believe that many of these dead and missing condors were likely killed or debilitated by lead poisoning.
To put it in context, as of May 2014 California had 132 condors in the wild; Arizona had 70. California's recent lead poisoning deaths represent 8 percent of that state's wild population, while Arizona's lead deaths represent at least 21 percent of their wild population. Arizona condors have had nearly three times the death rate from lead poisoning as have condors in California since the California hunting regulations went into effect. Once necropsy results are known, the Arizona numbers could go much higher.
Statistics and mortality information are based on information published by the California Department of Fish and Wildlife, Arizona Game and Fish Department and the condor recovery program, as of May 2014.
Hunting is allowed in most of the Kaibab National Forest, and no restrictions have yet been imposed on the use of lead ammunition by either the Forest Service or the Arizona Game and Fish Department. Arizona Game and Fish has been encouraging hunters to use nonlead bullets — even going so far as to provide free copper ammunition to deer and elk hunters within the condor range around the Grand Canyon, since condors often scavenge remains of deer or elk killed by hunters.
But despite a reported 80 percent to 90 percent of deer hunters in the Kaibab using copper rounds, lead ammo is still used by some hunters, leaving hundreds of lead-tainted deer carcasses — plus an unknown number of lead-contaminated carcasses of other game — in the Kaibab every year. Lead poisoning is the leading cause of death for endangered California condors in Arizona. Scientists have repeatedly warned that these rare birds will not recover until the threat of lead poisoning from ammunition is eliminated.
The Center for Biological Diversity is a national, nonprofit conservation organization with more than 775,000 members and online activists dedicated to the protection of endangered species and wild places.

Everyone is on the same team. Trying to create this crony divisiveness does not help condors. The AZDGF has done a LOT for condors, and has a very successful voluntary lead ammo trade-in program. CADFG, LAZoo, SDZoo, OregonZoo, Peregrine Fund, and Ventana Wildlife are all working to help protect condors, whose largest challenge is continuing encroachment in their former range in CA. So while you quote facts trying to demean AZDGF, what about all the condors in CA that are LTF? Or the fact that the 2007 ban has been completely ineffective? People don't like being forced, but I guess that doesn't enter into your article firing shots at condor conservationists. Everyone is trying to meet the challenges.
I am also confused as to what the Center for Biological Diversity is doing for condors. Please list their field projects and funding campaigns.
Meanwhile, stop bringing down those who are out there trying to help condors get restablished.
As lead is phased out over the next decade, you should focus more on how the future of wind farms and cougar eradication will be devastating for long term CA Condor survival.

In an era where government biologists are censored for attempting to tell the truth is not science more endangered than the condor? A real scientist considers a lot of possibilities and is not afraid to pose a lot of questions.
So why didn't condors suffer more in the 1950's and 60's when many more deer were shot by hunters in California? Is there any photo/video evidence of what the condors are actually eating?
Does anyone know for certain where condors are getting water and is the water contaminated? Did anyone doing lead toxicological studies have any training in firearms ballistics?
Is it responsible to assume that hunters using lead ammunition in violation of California state law banning its use, must be the cause, when the incidence of lead poisoning continues to increase. Could condors be getting lead/arsenate from pesticide application?
I have noticed that there is a new generation of lead toxicological studies published where birds are force fed lead pellets to determine how many it takes to kill them. Is that more humane than shooting one?
Too many decisions/conclusions have been made upon inferred evidence. The voters, tax payers , hunters and the condors deserve better.
