Would You Ever Consider a Non-Traditional Engagement Ring?
A little muddy-brown diamond or a big, sparkling rock: which would you choose?
-Faye Brennan
Engagement rings are a big deal. We know this after Kate Middleton's blue hand-me-down stunner (and her fiancé's recent decision to not wear one at all) made headlines worldwide. Not only is an engagement ring a beautiful piece of jewelry, but it's also one of the only tangible items that says every day for the rest of a woman's life, "Sorry, I'm taken… and he really, really loves me."
So, what does it mean if your engagement ring isn't a traditional, big sparkling diamond, but a muddy little brown one? This is what Mara Altman ponders in her new Kindle Single, Sparkle (amazon.com). Believe it or not, she was the one who didn't want a big diamond when her fiancé proposed. Well, why the hell not?
To understand Altman's unique decision, we asked her to explain it, and her book, in her own words.
Read How Guys Tell If a Woman Is a Keeper
What is it about diamond engagement rings that you don't like? Have you always felt this way, even as a little girl?
"For most of my life, I didn't pay attention to engagement rings, but once it seeped into my consciousness, it seemed like a very unequal practice. I felt like the ring was a way for the man to mark his territory, a bit like a dog spritzing some land with its scent. Also, I didn't want to think that a gem's monetary worth would give my relationship any more or less value. Those thoughts led me, somehow, to further anxiety. Were people going to look at the ring I chose and think they could figure out something about my relationship? Did the size of the diamond mean something about its wearer? Were big diamonds for beautiful women? Did small diamonds mean less love? And if my fiancé got me a gift of eternal commitment, I wondered if I should get him something to balance our bond: a watch, some cufflinks, maybe a goat?"
When you got engaged, did you tell your fiancé you wanted to pick out the ring?
"When we started talking about getting engaged, I told Dave, my soon to be fiancé, that I saw a ring that I liked. I brought him to see it. It was a frog's pelvis cast in silver and shaped into a ring. He didn't entirely love the ring. He said it was not engagement-y enough. He wanted something that sparkled. Sparkles, apparently, when placed on the left-hand ring finger, act as penis repellent. He wanted me to wear penis repellent. There was something endearing about that. He wanted to be the only penis in my life.
At the same shop where I picked out the frog pelvis ring, there was a tiny and delicate muddy-brown diamond ring. The diamond is about the size of a watch's reset button. I liked it because it was small (no sweater snagging) and cheap. Bringing back the dog metaphor, I felt like Dave was taking a mere piss on my finger instead of a gigantic crap. He also liked the ring. It sparkled just enough."
What are the most common reactions you got when friends and family saw your ring?
"It's so beautiful. It's so adorable. It's so you. It's so unique. And then there was the hand-covering-mouth-with-simultaneous-deep-inhale-followed-by-threateningly-tight-hug-in-tandem-with-high-pitched-squeal."

Everyone seems to have an opinion on working mothers. And most applauded Yahoo for hiring their CEO Marissa Mayer while she was pregnant. But a recent photo of the new chief is stirring up debate –- not about how it was taken, but when.
Mayer, 37, is on the cover of Fortune Magazine's October edition. But unlike some famous stars, she chose not to pose while pregnant. Fortune said they had wanted to take the cover photo while she was carrying her son, but she declined and a photo that was a year old was used.
She gave birth Sept. 30.
Mayer said that news of her pregnancy -- something almost unprecedented among the ranks of Fortune 500 company leaders -- didn't faze Yahoo's board when they were considering her for the job.
"They showed their evolved thinking," Mayer told Fortune.
Mayer also told the magazine in July that she planned to go back to work quickly after giving birth.
"I like to stay in the rhythm of things," she said. "My maternity leave will be a few weeks long and I'll work throughout it."
Her comments set off a lengthy debate about how corporate family leave policies make it hard to juggle a successful career and family.
Mayer was one of the original employees at Google and worked there for 14 years before becoming CEO of online search portal and news site Yahoo in July. Her husband is a lawyer who recently launched Data Collective, an investment fund focused on "big data" startups.
What do you think of her decision? Do you support her or do you think she should have shown the baby bump?

text: Bioenergy, Bioproducts and Energy HomeResearch ProgramsRural People & IssuesBioenergy, Bioproducts and Energy Program Overview Overview RIRDC's Bioenergy, Bioproducts and Energy program aims to meet Australia's research and development needs for the development of sustainable and profitable bioenergy and bioproducts industries and to develop an energy cross-sectoral R&D plan. Bioenergy - for heat, power and liquid fuels - is the subject of considerable interest and activity worldwide. However, bioenergy is a complex topic as it encompasses multiple feedstocks from agriculture, forestry, and urban sources. It also includes many different technologies - some widely used for decades and others only recently commercialised. Energy products include electricity, heat and liquid fuels. In the future it is possible that co-products will also feature in many bioenergy projects. As with other forms of renewable energy, it often involves the use of fossil fuels for its production, which reduces net greenhouse gas benefits. The bioenergy industry in Australia has the potential to grow significantly. This may be driven by: Increased demand for renewable energy for stationary power and transport fuels, as Australia seeks to reduce its CO2 emissions. A market response to a sustained increase in oil prices in the longer term, as demand increases and supply is constrained. The development of a variety of new and existing feedstocks that optimise sustainable use of existing farmland and create new opportunities for marginal lands. As a variety of new biofuel technologies are commercialised, biofuels could potentially make up an important part of Australia's future transport fuels. This could include ethanol, biodiesel and synthetic diesel for use in blends and as fuels in their own right. In addition to current production via sugar, grains, tallow, used cooking oil and vegetable oils, additional fuel production could come from woody residues, new tree crops (for oil and for biomass) and algae. The potential for production of biofuels from algae could also be considered. Algae production has the potential to be linked to broader rural aquaculture initiatives. The longer-term opportunities for bioenergy production will in part be determined by future policy direction and the best use of land resource for energy production. Bioenergy will also need to compete with other forms of renewable energy such as wind and solar, as well as other new sources of transport fuels such as coal (for electricity or liquid fuels) and natural gas. With strong worldwide interest in bioenergy, a variety of new technologies for electricity generation and biofuel production are already being developed and commercialised overseas with significant industry investment and government support. Most of these technologies could be utilised in Australian conditions. Australian RD&E could adapt these technologies to suit local conditions and feedstocks, and assist with demonstration and commercial prototypes. Program Aim Bring awareness to the primary industries sector about the opportunities to engage in the bioenergy supply chain as a feedstock producer. R&D Plan Opportunities for Primary Industries in the Bioenergy Sector National Research, Development and Extension Strategy ABBA What is the Australian Biomass for Bioenergy Assessment (ABBA) project? The purpose of the Australian Biomass for Bioenergy Assessment project is to: Catalyse investment in the renewable energy sector by providing information about Australian biomass resources. Assist in project development and decision making for new bioenergy projects. Provide linkages between biomass suppliers to the end user. The project will collect state based data about the location, volumes and availability of biomass to be displayed on the Australian Renewable Energy Mapping Infrastructure (AREMI) platform as customisable layers. This geospatial data will then be available to renewable energy project developers, policy makers and producers. This data will complement existing information such as energy infrastructure, power utilities, population and land use data. The project commenced in early 2016 and will continue to develop over the next five years. What data will be available? Data collected will include: The types, locations and volumes of existing and potential biomass resources. The types, locations and volumes of existing bioenergy industries. Land capability for future biomass. Tools will be developed to provide further information relating to estimated biomass cost, availability and future biomass potential. What are the expected benefits? While the ABBA is aimed at growing the Australian domestic renewable energy market and associated state level investment activities, participation may also have state and regional export trade benefits. In addition to providing biomass industry relevant data and information for the AREMI platform, the project will assist in creating market pull for bioenergy through tying bioenergy availability to biomass demand. The ABBA project is funded by the Australian Renewable Energy Agency (ARENA) in conjunction with the states and territories, Queensland University of Technology and the University of the Sunshine Coast. The project is being managed by the Rural Industries Research and Development Corporation (RIRDC). http://arena.gov.au/project/the-australian-biomass-for-bioenergy-assessment-project/ For further information contact: Rural Industries Research and Development Corporation Jennifer Medway, Project Manager ph. : 0458 785 905 email: firstname.lastname@example.com Department of Agriculture and Food, Western Australia Kim Brooksbank email. email@example.com Sustainability Victoria Kelly Wickham email. firstname.lastname@example.com NSW Department of Primary Industries – Forest Science – Land and Natural Resources Fabiano Ximenes email. email@example.com RenewablesSA, Department of State Development Joshua Carmichael email. email@example.com Queensland Department of Science, Information Technology and Innovation Phil Norman email. firstname.lastname@example.com Key contacts and links RIRDC Program Manager Jennifer Medway Ph: 0458 785 905 Email: firstname.lastname@example.com Relevant links www.biomassproducer.com.au Bioenergy Australia

Heavenly Chocolates from Brigittine Monastery
Shortcuts are meant to get you where you're going a whole lot faster, but there are some Oregon back roads where you want to put on the brakes, catch your breath and savor a sweet treat. This week, we take a break at a place that is centered on peace and serenity at one of the most successfully sweet businesses in Oregon — a place where "heavenly chocolates" are produced for eager customers at the Brigittine Monastery Gourmet Confections.
Winter has arrived across Oregon's Willamette Valley, with a firm hold on the landscape that seems lasting as fresh snowfall lights up the scene near the small burg of Amity. While indoors at the Brigittine Monastery, the "sweet" life has reached the boiling point inside a huge copper kettle as milk, sugar and butter combine to make a thick syrup slurry at 245 degrees.
"This will be chocolate fudge with nuts and right now it's boiling hot!" noted the Monastery's spokesman, Brother Steven. "We'll add two types of chocolate next — and doesn't it smell good in here?"
It always smells great in the kitchens of the Brigittine Monastery Gourmet Confectionary. It's where half a dozen monks rely on time tested recipes to make daily batches of seven flavors of fudge. Since 1986, the monks have lived outside the community of Amity, on a 45-acre farm that they work – they make chocolate candy as a way to become truly self-supporting.
Special equipment provides a one-pound pour (there are approximately 150 pounds per batch of fudge) into lined boxes. Brother Bernerd then applied the Monastery's signature swirl across the top of each. "That's our trademark," added Brother Steven. "Each pound of candy is swirled – in fact, everything we do is hand-swirled."
The Brigittines are the only monastic community in Oregon that makes candy — and it's delicious! Not just fudge, but a one-of-a-kind, hand-crank truffle press pushes out creamy chocolate that becomes the hand rolled centers for truffles. The Monastery produces a dozen different truffle flavors.
Business is booming at this busiest time of the year. The Brigittine chocolates are shipped across the country and as far away as Europe and South America.
The Monastery's Chapel, their candy store and the grounds are open to the public seven days a week. The Brigittine Monastery's chocolate production is determined month-to-month based upon demand but this time of year, the fudge is poured and the truffles are rolled as a daily event.
In fact, the monks produce up to four batches of fudge a day in the weeks leading up to Christmas. So now is a good time to stop in and sample some of their sweet heavenly chocolate candy where they like to say: "Good addictions start small!"

Chris Jones completed his weekend visit to Louisville and may announce his decision on Monday.
"I'm going to make my commitment (to someone) tomorrow most likely," Jones said during a phone interview on Sunday.
The 5-foot-11 sophomore point guard from Northwest Florida State College is believed to be Rick Pitino's top target.
"He feels more comfortable putting the ball in my hand than a high school point guard, and that's why he's not recruiting any more high school point guards," Jones said. "I'm their top priority, and that's the reason why."

I write a lot in this space about relationship building,
reputation building and the tools you need to market your law
practice. For those of you who practice in a law firm setting
(either as an associate or as a partner), there are some bigger
issues you should also address in your career.
There will always be tradeoffs when deciding where to build your
career. But, what are some other questions you should ask yourself
in order to assess whether your platform is the "right"
To assist you in this, I created another audit
tool. It is a similar format to the other tool I created to
help assess your overall marketing effectiveness.
As we come into the final days of summer, now is a good time
think about these questions. If your practice is slow, take time to
complete one or both of the audits. You will get some feedback on
how you can move into fall with some career or marketing

HAITI DIARY/ 16. This is how the earthquake changed our lives
Haiti after the earthquake (Infophoto)
Yesterday we attended the ceremony of commemoration of the two year anniversary of the earthquake, organized by an international agency that is very active in Haiti. The ceremony was focused on the reconstruction and the support given to the local community, on the real protagonists of the reconstruction and the results they achieved. While exiting, I reflected on the strange feeling of coldness that the ceremony left me with. If I had had to give it a name, I would have said that it was a ceremony for the results of the reconstruction, not the commemoration of the earthquake.
When I had almost reached the car park, I met a Haitian colleague, who works for the agency in charge of the ceremony, and who strangely preferred to stay outside instead of being in the room. I gave the usual wishes for a happy new year, but I immediately saw a sad look veil her eyes. She said: "You know, for me any new year cannot begin before January 12. Before that, there is only the memory, the pain of remembrance of my little girl dead under the rubble, of the tomb that I could not give her, and the torment of not having even a place to go to cry".
Suddenly I realized what was cold about the ceremony. It was not "our" commemoration. We who were there in Haiti, we who have our heart in this country, when we think about January 12 we do not think primarily of the reconstruction done or not done or partially done. We think of our dead, our friends (many, how many!) who are no more, the suffering that we have faced and that somehow has never ceased to accompany us. Two years have passed. 24 months. There were very few days when we did not think about it, about that moment when the earth shook and, in a handful of seconds, took away life, the people who we loved, the world we knew. Nothing has ever been the same again. We have learned to live with the suffering, to face the pain. We had to accept that the misery of life as survivors would swallow up our people. But we could not forget, and we will never be able to.
Sunday, I went to the cemetery to pray at the grave of my husband's family. The two daughters of a friend of mine are buried in the same vault. The two girls died hugging under the kitchen table, while their mother watched helplessly from the garden, without being able to save them. Their father came to our house with the small bodies in the back of his pick-up, wrapped in a sheet. "I do not have a place to bury them. There is no room in any cemetery. I do not want to bring them to a mass grave; they are my girls! Help me please". I still remember the trip in the pick-up with that light load. As I remember the father's eyes.

A slow moving trough and associated front in the south will trigger widespread thundery rain along its length extending from the northern NT/WA border into the south east between about Adelaide and Canberra and reaching as far south as Hobart. Most falls on Tuesday will be relatively light.
By Wednesday the trough deepens as it moves east with moisture feeding into the trough from the north west Tropics and from moist north to north east winds coming off the Coral Sea and Pacific Ocean. The band will remain active from the north west through Central Australia, most of the inland of NSW and the southern half of the NSW coast and eastern Victoria. Moderate to heavy falls are possible from the south east inland of NSW to the north west corner of the state and north east and eastern Victoria.
On Thursday the trough will shift a little further east to affect the south west and west of Queensland, all but the north east and south west of NSW and the eastern half of Central Australia. Moderate to heavy falls are possible.
Although a little uncertain at this stage a weak low could form along the trough off the southern coast of NSW increasing rain in the south east of the state with the trough still active over the north east quarter, the northern half of the NT and much of inland Qld with moderate to heavy falls possible in most of these areas.
A high to the east of the continent will keep the remainder of Queensland mostly dry apart from isolated coastal showers and a separate high off the west coast will direct the possibility of light and generally isolated showers over the southern coastal districts of WA.

Caster Semenya will win the 800 metres in Rio in 2016. She will win the world championships in 2013. She will win the Commonwealth Games in Glasgow in 2014. Caster Semenya, who won the silver medal in the Olympics on Saturday night, will dominate the 800m for some time to come.
Her coach, Maria Mutola, did not flinch from the question when she was asked, in the tunnel of the Olympic Stadium on Saturday night, if her charge would rule the world of 800m. She looked pleased, but not entirely satisfied at the performance of the 21-year-old from Limpopo. She could have, indeed should have won Olympic gold, but, as Semenya herself later admitted, "made a mistake". Colin Jackson, the former British athlete, suggested on BBC commentary that she had not won because she did not want to be in the spotlight again. It was a nonsense argument and Semenya dismissed it out of hand.
"I'm satisfied with silver. The plan was to win the gold, but I didn't," she said, and then she smiled. "It's my first Olympics and I'm on the podium. I'm still a bit young, I know I'm growing. I know the main thing was to win a gold medal, but the most important thing was to finish on the podium."
Her form at the London Olympics, while not quite a surprise, was a leap from where she had been in the early season. She'd done okay, but struggledat a meeting in Monaco. She looked lethargic and even Mutola had been surprised.
"I was a little bit surprised at how she ran. It's one of those things sometimes that athletes have to go through. Like Caster said, it's a little bit difficult to adapt to a new programme sometimes. We've been training very hard and I am expecting good races going into the Diamond Leagues.
"I wasn't surprised when I came here and she ran those times. I knew from training that Caster can do better. I think she's in shape to do 1:55. I was very happy with her semi-final performance. I wasn't so happy with her first round, because I told her I wanted her to finish stronger. She started listening to me.
"I think she can dominate in the next few years. Next year will be very important for her. We're coming into a world championship, which will be in Russia. Things will be very tough and she'll have to make sure that she runs the whole race instead of just at the end. She left it a little bit late (on Saturday night), but she was there. She left too big a gap to cover, and I think she was a little bit lucky, to be honest. I did a lot of work after Monaco in terms of her confidence. I told her it was like this – if you are an 800m runner, you have to do these times. If you can do them, then you are better off. I ran with her because her training partner wasn't there. I helped her out with splits. I was running around, like I always do, controlling splits. Everything was perfect. She was in good shape." – The Star

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 17/7/2014 (1126 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
Flood protection put up at homes south of Hoop and Holler Bend will be taken down over the week.
The start of the dismantling of residential dikes south-east of Portage La Prairie comes as the province today completely ruled out making a deliberate breach of the Assiniboine River to ease the pressure on riverbank dikes.
Provincial officials say flows on the Assiniboine River upstream of Portage La Prairie are now receding with the second crest of this summer's flood being measured at the Portage Reservoir at a flow of 51,480 cubic feet per second at 3:15 a.m. Tuesday.
The flow into the Portage Reservoir today was measured at 49,090 cfs. The water is being split up with 18,000 cfs going into the river towards Winnipeg and the remainder into the Portage Diversion into Lake Manitoba.
As flows decline, the province plans to gradually reduce the amount of water going into the river by 500 cfs per day. By doing it slowly, officials said the aim is to protect riverbank. Too steep a drop in flow could undermine the banks.
Meanwhile, the flood watch now turns to Lake Manitoba and Lake Winnipeg. Both lakes are above their preferred levels and the combined threat of wind and waves poses a risk to existing dikes and other protection measures.
The province has prepared inundation maps for Lake Manitoba for possible flooding.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 6/2/2002 (5677 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
The ice tower is the venue for a winter sport with a growing following, as well as the scene of one of the Festival du Voyageur's newest highlights.
Built by the St. Boniface section (Club D'Escalade De Saint-Boniface) of the Alpine Club of Canada in 1996, the tower offers ever-changing ice surfaces on all four sides to provide a place to practise ice climbing.
Since then, it has attracted a hardy and growing band of participants, whose idea of fun is to use ice axes and crampons (spikes that attach to boots) to claw their way up a vertical pillar of ice.
"What's amazing to me is how many people in Winnipeg have their own equipment," says Andr Mah, president of the St. Boniface group, one of two sections of the Alpine Club in Canada based in Winnipeg. The Manitoba section operates in English; members of both groups use the ice climbing tower.
The tower will be a hot spot during both weekends of Festival du Voyageur. On Feb. 9 and 10, Mountain Equipment Co-op will give climbers a chance to try out different kinds of climbing gear. On Feb. 15 to 17, the tower will be the setting for the second annual Festival d'Escalade sur Glace de Saint-Boniface. Climbers will compete in speed and degree-of-difficulty competitions, with qualifying rounds on the Saturday and the finals on Sunday starting at 1 pm.
"Climbing is an odd sport," says Bryce Brown, who won the degree-of-difficulty competition last year. "It's 90 per cent suffering and 10 per cent fun."
When the climbers are back on the ground and discussing their adventure over a drink, he says, the ratio shifts in favour of fun.
"This is the best ice climbing within eight hours of Winnipeg," says Brown. With climbing partner Darren Tomczak, winner of the speed competition at last year's Festival, Brown often climbs in the Thunder Bay, Ont. area.
Many hardcore ice climbers from Winnipeg make the eight-hour trek east to the rugged north shore of Lake Superior, where climbing routes up to 750 feet long and consistent, and cold winters create an ice-climber's paradise.
"They go to Thunder Bay or Banff to put into practice what they've learned on our tower," says Mah.
Ice climbing isn't just a sport for young ironmen. Among the first-timers trying out the tower on a recent bitterly cold day was Anita Geisel, 46, a mother of three who was introduced to climbing last year when she took a rock-climbing course at Vertical Adventures with her son. On her first attempt, Geisel only climbed about 15 feet. In the afternoon, she reached the top of the 60-foot tower.
"The first time, or the first couple of times, you're learning how to use the crampons and ice axes," she says.
Despite nearly frostbitten toes, Geisel was an elated convert to the sport. "I'll definitely be out here again."
Not all the activity in the ice-climbing festival involves numb toes. The festival will also include a reception on Feb. 16, starting at 5:30 p.m., with Jeff Warden, a Winnipeg-based climber who is setting off to scale the highest peaks on each of the world's seven continents. The reception takes place at Theatre de la Chapelle.
In addition to organizing the ice festival and maintaining the tower, the group organizes summer rock climbing trips to Whiteshell Provincial Park and near Kenora, Ont., and has an indoor climbing wall at Ecole Precieux Sang. The club has programs to introduce children and teens to climbing at the school climbing wall, and is looking to complete the tower for summer rock-climbing practice.
For members who are itching for full-size, real-life mountains, the club organizes a summer trip to the Rockies in Alberta. This year, Mah says, members will spend a week at Elizabeth Parker Hut in the Lake O'Hara area of Yoho National Park, renowned as one of the most spectacular places in the world for hiking and climbing.
For more information, contact Mah at 253-2162, or turn to www.cesb.net.

Conservative Group: Delay Hagel Hearing
A conservative group opposing Chuck Hagel's nomination to be defense secretary called on the Senate to delay confirmation hearings and allow more time to delve into the former Nebraska senator's financial information.
The American Future Fund, a conservative advocacy group, said Thursday that it wants the Senate Armed Services Committee to postpone Mr. Hagel's confirmation hearing, scheduled for Jan. 31. Mr. Hagel's financial disclosure form has not yet been released and the group said there won't be sufficient time for it to be publicly vetted.
"The Senate committee has a moral and legal obligation to carefully review the background of a person nominated for any cabinet post," the group said in a press release. "These circumstances call for a close examination which cannot possibly be accomplished in one or two days."…

Milla Jovovich Talks Resident Evil 5
May be called Retribution. No frogs.
A fifth Resident Evil was announced immediately after Afterlife topped the box office on its (admittedly quiet) opening weekend last autumn. Details have been scant since, but Milla Jovovich has been tweeting with her followers, and revealed that the next instalment may be called Resident Evil: Retribution. Don't take that as gospel though: "I'll have to ask Paul to be sure."
That would, of course, be series honcho Paul WS Anderson, director of parts one and four, and writer of all. It's unclear as yet whether he'll be behind the camera again next time, but he's certainly currently musing the screenplay with the help of his kids. "They're professionals!" says Milla. "All they do is play the games until they master every level and unlock every code. They play the games for weeks and give Paul the footage, so he's literally watching days of the most awesome RE players out there to get inspiration for the next chapter."
Milla has her fingers firmly crossed that shooting will take place in Japan. Those many thousands of you hoping that she'll have to face down an army of Hunters however - the Umbrella Corporation's optimistic splicing of human and reptile DNA with mutated T-Virus - seem set to be disappointed. "Paul doesn't think there's a big, awesome action scene that can be done with big frogs," Milla apologises. "Is it cool to do a kick-ass action scene with lizardy froggy things?"
Alice's next antagonists then, remain a mystery (apart from the zombies, obviously) although we might surmise a few surmises given the end of Afterlife. Whoever she's fighting though, we can rest assured it will be in 3D and slo-mo, and very likely accompanied by the dulcet tones of Maynard James Keenan. And all is right with the world. The release is already set for September 14 next year.

What to grow for the pigs?
Just planning next year's planting. Any ideas on what to grow for the pigs?
I was thinking of beans but wonder would runners or broad beans be better? I have Jerusalem artichokes but the pigs didn't root them up this year. Has anyone tried white turnips? They are quick and the tops are edible as well as the roots?
Hi we plant table turnips and kale every year .If you fill a trailer of turnips you can feed them the tops straight away and give them the turnip over the next few days.With the kale if you strip off the leaves and feed them to the pigs the kale will recover fairly quickly and you will get a couple of feeds from every plant.We did'nt try beans yet,as a source of protein they are hard to beat .
I had the same problem with jerusalem 'chokes - they ate a few of them but left most and they were hard to get rid of. Me and the wife had a feed of them and she swore never again. There's an enterprising fellow in south Sligo who keeps pigs and has built a methane digester - I reckon he'd treble production if he fed them 'chokes.
Apparently the best bean to grow is the tic bean - if you can get the seed, which I couldn't. They can be sown in the winter in Ireland but can't stand acid land, which rules me out anyway.
I plant sugar beet, which is a better feed than fodder beet and higher in protein. You can get varieties that don't need to be thinned out and I find the leaves quickly shut out weeds if sown early enough - say middle of march but later if it's too wet. You need quite a fine bed and we harrow and roll after sowing. You can pull them as you need them until the real hard frosts set in. Frost can spoil them so we clamp most of them (I store them on the yard covered with a big 'tarp). Another benefit is that the tops are supposed to be a better feed than turnips - pigs like 'em anyway. I haven't tried it but I'd say you could forget about pulling them yourself and let the pigs do the work. They love the sweetness of them and I can't see why you couldn't creep them over a field behind the electric fence.
I think I mentioned before that I was buying fodder beet a couple of years ago and lost two sows with rectal prolapse (very nasty) - the vet thought that the grit (they were unwashed) in the skins of them plus the bulk was to blame. So I mix beet with barley for the sows and introduce it slowly.
sir. porky
growing food for pigs.
try growing mangel,s they are in the same family as turnip, but grow 2 or 3 times as big and seem to thrieve on our wet irish sommers, the tops are also very nutricous and the grop is unbelievable! can also be fed with good results to sheep, cows and goats.
sir. porky
I read somewhere that mangels have to be clamped or stored for a time before feeding to stock.
I'll take on board the suggestions regarding kale and turnips and I think I'll experiment with the runner beans and let them run over the ground rather than making wigwams for them to climb. I might try broad beans and even the tic beans if I can get them.
That's what I like about this time of the year - you can have great plans for next year.
I know that this guy [url]http://stonehead.wordpress.com[/url] grows mangels to feed some to his pigs and also to make ale from. Might be some useful info for you there.
Thanks Moonwaves, an interesting blog. More food for thought.
We swear by kale interesting site for food values of different veg try this link
Kale is great for humans too...it has exceptionally high levels of antioxidants
We grow red russian kale which is a fairly tender kale, good winter green veg, and recovers really quickly in the spring. We strip off the old bottom leaves as supplementary feed for pigs. Small leaves can be shredded in salads, older leaves boiled like cabbage, and it is easy to grow...stands up above the slugs.
Nice one Noreen, I like the idea of this kale - very high in protein.
Q. Are there perennial varieties?
A few years ago we planted seed that we got from Seedsavers,Marrow Stem and Thousand Head .We found that the Marrow Stem grew tall and thin much like a sapling,grew taller than the weeds then sent out its leaves to smother the weeds.The Thousand Head kale grew very like a cabbage and really struggled with the weeds,they both grew strongly after the weeds died away later in the year.We saved seed for the next year from a small patch of kale.You could also buy an acre pack of commercial kale .Plant yours over a few months so that it will be eaten before it goes to seed .Biggest problem at the moment is pigeons but its nice to have your own fodder at this time of the year.You could broadcast it by hand when sowing but be sure to roll it after,we bought an old 5 row seed drill which makes things a lot easier.Hope this helps
One of the reasons, I am going for beans as pig food is that I can't grow brassicas. Well, I can grow them but they are always completely skeletonised by caterpillars. I don't just mean a few leaves, I mean completely devoured. This is true for turnips, cabbage, kale, the lot.
The seashore beside my land is covered with wild cabbage which is host to swarms of cabbage white butterflies.
I tried growing a few cabbages last year under fleece but they found a hole and destroyed the lot.
At the moment I have winter broccoli and kale growing nicely but come butterfly time they will vanish.
I have also tried growing brassicas in the polytunnel but they don't do well in the heat.
Sorry. Just wanted to get that off my chest.

You have three weeks to spend during the main holiday season in Italy. Stay away from coastal resorts, which are overcrowded during your stint.
All destinations mentioned by you are worth your while.
Venice: a few days navigating through the canals, visit San Marcos, neighbouring islands (glass blowing in Murano; Burano).
Consider Padova, Verona and Bologna.
Find your way Lucca and Pisa, then back to Florence, depending upon your cultural desires.
The Toscana is worth a few days, including Siena. Consider visiting Arezzo and Perugia. If you travel by car, try to visit other towns such as Terni, Riete, l'Aquila before heading towards Rome.
Rome, on 15th August (Ferragosto) is so empty that you have the town to yourselves. You'll be hot those days, which is why everybody crowds the coast lines.Naples is worth visiting, but don't miss Pompei. The Amalfi coast (as well as Capri and Ischia islands) will be bursting with tourists, but are worth a try (accommodation and expense permitting)
You can tour Sicily in a few days. Take an odd "souvenir" home and pass through Corleone. There's nothing to see but the name at the village entrance and it's name relation to what Sicily became famous about.
The Etna volcano at night time is a unique experience, and the island has a rich history which may interest you.
Long distances, hot weather, lovely places: plan a few days ahead each time from the place you are staying in. Local information is essential at this time of the year.
Buon viaggio ed in bocca al lupo!

What is a Life Chapter?
Life Chapters of Lutherans For Life are volunteer organizations of pro-life Christians seeking to carry out the mission of Lutherans For Life: "Equipping Lutherans to be Gospel-motivated voices For Life."
Life Chapters provide an organization through which Lutheran Christians can unite to give a common witness within the Church and society to their concern for the value and dignity of all human life.
Life Chapters . . .
The primary focus is "education based on the Word of God" promoting the sanctity of human life. A secondary focus for many Life Chapters is service that promotes respect for life. Because they have direct contact with congregations and other Lutheran organizations and institutions, Life Chapters collectively carry out the bulk of the ministry of Lutherans For Life.
What do Life Chapters do?
Each Life Chapter has its own character, interests, and areas of expertise. Thus, most Life Chapters engage in some projects that are unique to them and specially suited to their communities. Many Life Chapters engage in most of the following activities:
How do I get involved?
One way to get involved is to join an existing Life Chapter. Contact National Lutherans For Life for the Life Chapter nearest you. Every Life Chapter has a need for something you can provide, whether it be skills, time, technical advice, or prayer support.
If there is no Life Chapter near you, perhaps one should be started in your community. Who knows but that God has placed you there for such a task as this? (Esther 4:14)
How do I start a Life Chapter?
If you believe the Lord is leading you to start a Life Chapter, contact National Lutherans For Life. We will send you (free of charge) helpful materials.
Begin to educate yourself on the pro-life issues by reading pro-life materials, speaking with other pro-life people, and attending meetings of other pro-life organizations. Speak with other Lutherans in your community about the life issues and identify those who might be interested in helping you. It is especially important to visit with the pastors in your community to learn where they stand on these issues.
Be assured that, whatever the way in which you are able to help share the For Life Message, the Lord can make you an important part of the ministry of changing hearts and minds and saving lives!

The Calgary Stampeders continue to stock the roster in preparation for training camp, signing a pair of non-import defenders Thursday.
Linebacker/defensive backs Ryland Smith and Akeem Whonder inked contracts with the club.
Terms were not disclosed.
Both players suited up as fifth-year seniors for their respective CIS clubs last season, with Smith plying his trade at Bishop's, while Whonder spent his time with the Windsor Lancers.
Smith recorded 46 total tackles, two quarterback sacks, two forced fumbles and a blocked kick in nine games in 2013. The 6-foot-1, 200-pounder switched from defensive back to linebacker before his final year with the Gaiters.
"Ryland is a great football player and an even better person," Bishop's head coach Kevin Mackey told the team's website last year. "We have switched Ryland from DB to SAM backer to allow him to make more plays, as he has a natural instinct to find the ball. It's a trait that you can't teach."
Smith ran 4.59-second 40-yard dash at the 2013 CFL Combine, but was not drafted.
Whonder, a 5-foot-11, 217-pounder, also started out in the secondary, before moving to linebacker in his sophomore season.
In 37 career games for the Lancers, he recorded 175 total tackles -- including 148 solo stops -- in addition to eight sacks, four forced fumbles, two fumble recoveries and one interception.

Arizonans looking for ways to divert some of what they owe the state to other causes have a new option this year: foster care.
But they're going to have to act fast — as in before midnight Tuesday night. And because of the way the law is worded, they're going to have to be careful in how they give if they want to get the full benefit of the tax law.
Legislation approved earlier this year gives individuals a dollar-for-dollar tax credit of up to $400 for money donated to what are called "qualifying foster care organizations." These are organizations that provide services to certain children who meet other qualifications.
The amount of the credit for couples is double that.
In essence, the credit is claimed on the state income tax form: Once a taxpayer computes the state taxes owed, the credit is applied, reducing that person's tax liability by that amount.
Put another way, the credit costs the taxpayer nothing: It's either paid to the charity or paid to the state.
But taxpayers who have given in the past to similar organizations need to be aware that money given to the foster care groups could reduce the credits they get for those other donations.
Sean Laux, lobbyist for the state Department of Revenue, said it's all in how the law is worded.
Most tax credits exist as separate statutes.
So, for example, someone can give to organizations that provide scholarships for students to attend private schools as well as donate to public schools for extracurricular activities and tutoring, claiming the maximum credit for both. That's $517 for the scholarship organizations and $200 for public schools for individuals.
Similarly, the same taxpayers also have been able to contribute to the existing program for "qualifying charitable organizations" and also take that $200 tax credit. There are separate credits for things like the Military Family Relief Fund.
All those are stackable up to each credit's limits.
But Laux said this one is different.
He said the foster care organizations exist as a subset of the charitable organizations.
Put simply, that means an individual cannot get both the $200 maximum credit available to charitable groups plus the new $400 credit for foster care groups. Both caps remain.
For example, consider a single taxpayer who donates $150 to a qualified charity and $400 to a qualified foster care organization.
That entire $150 for the qualified charity would be eligible for the dollar-for-dollar credit. But only $250 of the $400 given to the foster care group would qualify for the credit, what with the combined $400 limit on individuals.
But an individual who gives $400 to a qualified charity but none to a foster care organization gets to take only $200 in tax credits.
Both types of charities must spend at least 50 percent of their budget on services to Arizona residents who receive Temporary Assistance for Needy Family benefits, are below 150 percent of the federal poverty level, or who are chronically ill or physically disabled children.
To be a qualified foster care organization — and entitle donors to claim the larger credit — a group also must serve at least 200 foster children in Arizona and spend at least half of its funds on services to foster children in the state.
Lists of organizations that qualify for both are available from the Department of Revenue at www.azdor.gov/TaxCredits/QualifyingCharitableOrganizations.aspx.
There's one other change in tax law this year which could mean more donations to both types of organizations.
In prior years, tax credits for charitable groups were available only to those who itemize deductions. This year the credits can be taken even by those who use the short form and take the standard deductions.
The legislation came as lawmakers approved more money for Child Protective Services.
That was largely for caseworkers to deal with reports of abuse and neglect. But there were also concerns about the welfare of foster children who technically are in the legal custody of the state.

Alien Ghost Soldiers
Alien Ghost Soldiers
"Modern Ghost Soldiers"
We have all born witness to decades of international terrorism; the 9-11 attack on the Twin Towers in New York is but a single example where murders use religion to justify their evil deeds. Governments the world over, have not been able to stem the tide, even while using large armies, supported by high tech naval and air power. These devil inspired criminal organizations have grown in numbers, spreading across the Middle East, and the entire northern third of the African Continent. It is not time for 'we the people' to consider other more effective options, in order to bring these evildoers to justice. Read the story below, a story that while fiction involves a truth that if implemented, would prove effective in the real world, in which we live.
There are those who commit murder as well as other vile crimes, and think they do God favor! These are they, which seek to implement dictatorial rule over the people, suppressing their God given unalienable rights. Our system of justice has not, nor indeed cannot deal with these types of crimes, crimes better dealt with by extra-ordinary means.
The Story of John Steele
Friday 11 September 2015
By Alexander Trimble
John Steele, nicknamed by his friends' Iron Man' was raised by a hardheaded businessman father who took no guff from his sub ordinances, but his mother was of a more practical nature. When little John was but a boy of seven years in 1989, one school day morning his father had just left the house early, as was his custom. John had a habit of asking just about any question that came into his mind, after all he thought, how is a boy to learn, if he don't ask? John had washed himself, dressed and was seated at the kitchen table, he could hear in the background the topic of Saddam Hussein being discussed on the television in the living room not far away.
The ideas that a bad man could run loose and not be brought to justice stirred in his young mind, so he popped the question, "Momma, how come this Sadam fella, can do whatever he wants and no one can catch him." Though the boy had mispronounced Saddam name, his momma understood! His mother Anna Steele, answered him in a way that would stick with him well into manhood, effecting the course of his life. More then that, though Momma Steele had no such intention, still, her words would prove to be a prediction of things to come.
Momma Steele looked at her son, knowing he was a growing boy, who would one day be a man, and she had every hope and prayer, that he would be a good and effective man, at whatever honorable course he chose in life. "Johnny, she said, this bad man cannot be caught because those in authority choose to send an army after a single varment. It might be impressive, but not the best way to catch one single varmint. It would be much better to send a varmint hunter!"
Little Johnny, as his mother often called him, would tuck his mothers words away in his mind, he would long ponder, what she had said, years after the incident had passed. Operation Desert Storm as it would later come to be known, would be launched on 17 January 1991, and involve 34 nations, along with approximately 500,000 troops. Now, as a young adult, John Steele having followed in his fathers footsteps and taken up the life of a businessman, once again thought back on his mothers words.
While one day carrying out his duties in the family business, his Secretary came into his office with an excited look on her face. Mister John she said, the President, President Bush, has launched Desert Storm, all the news networks are covering the story, and estimates say, there must be at least half a million men or more involved." John looked up from his desk at Allicia Pikes, his trustworthy Secretary, "thank you Alicia, I will want to hear more of it later! Somehow his mothers words, spoken so long ago, was all of a sudden headline news.
It was Thursday 17 September 1991, and while his mother never intended her words to be a prophesy, merely an opinion, still she had been unknowingly accurate. Her words came back to him, "… those in authority choose to send an army, after a single varmint." It is like killing a single fly with napoms, he thought! John Steele's family business was automatic weapons, as such he had close contacts with numerous weapons manufactures, throughout the western world.
Mr. John as he Secretary called him, had a close and friendly relationship with numerous Veterans Groups, encompassing every branch of the military. Then and there, he decided to call, what he though of as his Outsiders, which were a group of professionals from every possible field, who met on occasion so as to privately compare notes. The goup, in a mannor of speaking would sense, as to what was in the air, business wise. The group was a carry over from his fathers time, a group that helped the family stay ahead in the business world!
The Steele family and their business was located just outside of Dallas Texas, his family being Texicans for many generations back, had fought in the War with Mexico in 1836, then for the Confederacy in the early 1860's. And his favorite hero from that era was General John Hunt Morgan, from whom he would draw much, while updating Morgan's strategies. The Yankees saw General Morgan as a Guerrilla Fighter, and perhaps he was! John Steele on the other hand, drew his knowledge of business from his father's side, and a sense of practicality from his mother.
The coming Monday, 18 January, was Martin Luther King Day, according to the calendar, but long before Mister King's time, the day was known in Texas as Confederate Hero's Day. While the company would not actually closed for business, John decided to call a meeting of his 'Outsiders', for Saturday the 16th. The topic of discussion would be the forming a private, publicly, and officially unknown Dark Ops Command. It would be the most effective command of its kind, but one so secret, even its name and vary existence were to be unknown.
The Outsiders Assemble
Saturday 16 January 2016
Key leaders of the 'Outsiders' about a dozen, gathered at a ranch owned by one of its leading members, a Mister Martin Mckenzie. The team of 13 counting John Steele himself, shared rides to the ranch, so there would not be the appearance of a parking lot filled with 'cars and pick up trucks'. Instead there were only two vehicles, and they were parked inside Mckenzie's large barn, the same place as would be held the meeting. The men had not been forwarned as to the topic of discussion, but they did have somewhat of a hunch.
Nonetheless if Mister Mckenzie thought it important, they'd make it a point to be there, on time! They didn't have to wait long, when Ole Marty as he was often called by his close friends, entered through the back side of the barn. He made his rounds of shaking hands and entering into a bit of small talk, then he addressed the assembly of his close friends. "Gentlemen, the time has come, we can no longer stand by on the sideline, and watch one administration after another fail in their effort to bring down a whole slew of worldwide trouble makers.
Perhaps at my age I should be thinking of retiring a few years down the road, rather then laying out a strategy for a most dangerous project, even for the nations government. Let alone few business man gathered together in an old barn! But the job has been trust upon us, so it is we ourselves that must deal with dictators, terrorists and a host of other evil men, for freedon's sake. " One of the men gathered there that day, a Mister Walden Johnson interupted Mister Martin! "Marty, what exactly are you suggesting, that we form our own private army?"
Marty glanced over at Walden, "No my friend, we have neither the resources or the financing necessary for such a venture, besides we'd only be duplicating what so many nations have already done, and with the same meager results. No, our solution lay in another direction entirely. John, would you explain to them, what you've told me?" John Steele arose from where he was seated on a bail of straw, and walked forward. He glanced at the faces of the other men, knowing what they must be thinking!
"Let me begin my telling you what my mother, Momma Steele said to me, as a 7 year old boy, something that has crawled around in my mind ever since. Johnny, she said, a bad man cannot be caught because those in authority choose to send an army after a single varment. It might be impressive, but not the best way to catch one single varment. It would be much better to send a varment hunter! Well in our case, I suggest we sent varment hunters, at least two teams of about 6 or 7 each, made up of very special men.
Simply put, we search out the most unusual men, men having that God given gift whereby they can search out and find anyone, anywhere, irregardless of location. Men who seem to have that certain nack for being able to appear and disappear at will, leaving only disaster and the enemies dead and dying behind. Members of these teams must be the best of the best, the rare and unusual few! It would be better if they were all single men with no family ties, and let me say that such men are not numbered as if one in a thousand, but rather one in a million.
Men who are overlooked by government, and the military, because they do not fit the mold; I call these men 'The Ghost Soldiers.' Where the Military's Special Forces end, is where 'The Ghost Soldiers' begin; These men will be our varment hunters. And they will be so secret, they'll leave behind not even as much as a fingerprint or an identy mark of any kind, they'll will be faceless, nameless, and without a personal backgound to trace." Nearly all of the the Outsiders had been seated by this time, but they now arose, with an awe struct look on their faces.
Introducing the Ghost Soldiers
Saturday 16 January 2016
The barn was darkened by this time, save for the immediate area on the floor level, in the middle of the barn, which was lighted by two battery operated lanterns. The lanterns rested on bales of staw, positioned forward and at opposte ends of the gathering, Marty and John stood together looking over the gathering. After the impact of what he had said finally sank into their heads, Marty began to speak. "Gentlemen, I'd like to introduce you to the 21 members of the Ghost Soldiers."
The members of the Outsiders only a while moments before had sat back down, but they now stood to their feet once more, as The Ghost Soldiers entered from the back side of the barn, and stood at the outer fringes of the lighted area. These men now stood together in a formation of 3 rows, 7 men to a row. But what was astonishing was that they all wore matching black, outfits which made them appear much like an army of alien invaders.
They appeared somewhat like divers, in an odd sort of way! They also wore masks over their heads and faces, like unto a form fitting helmet, more so then a sky mask. Marty could see that everyone had that look on their face, as if they had a million questions! Turning to John, he tried to break through what had become a mezmerizing situation. John, explain to our fellow Outsiders, regarding the appearance of these men! John glanced at Marty, then began to speak, "The suits you see these men wear are like unto a modern, high tech version of armor.
For several decades science has attempted to create a suit, a suit that will not only protect the wearer from most kinds of hostile action, but also give him added strength. These suits are a result of that research!" While he spoke, one of The Ghost Soldiers walked over and stood in front of an Outsider's vans, he then reached down and picked up the front end with only one hand. Marty then broke into and began to explaination, "their suits are also environmentally controlled, included are one way eye piece visibility, and an air control devise for the mouth.
And these men as they stand here, cannot be picked up on radar or heat sensors; these men are as close to being invensibile as humanly possible at the present time. And as you can see, they cannot be identified; no finger prints, no eye or facial identification. The human figures you see before you, might easily be robots, inside those suits! These gentlemen, are our varment hunters, and they are more then experts at what they do! Howbeit, you will never see them again, all you will see in the future, are the results of their having passed through a given location.
Everyone present glanced at the 21 members of The Ghost Soldiers, then back at Marty, but somehow in that instant, The Ghost Soldiers simply disappeared, as if they had never been there. The leaders of the Outsiders closed the meeting and they all dispersed to their homes. Two days later, a Monday there seemed to be no signs that a meeting had ever taken place, nor that a group of men, known as The Ghost Soldiers, had appeared. John went about his business chores for the fire arms business, he ocasionally thought to himself, maybe none of it did happen.
The other men of the Outsiders dared not even glance at one another in a suspecious manner, least someone began to question. But then what could they question, that men appeared, which looked like space aliens, space aliens that could lift up a heavy van with one hand? That kind of rheteric could lead to a padded cell or else a rubber room! So, for the time being the entire incident faded into the background, and even the skeptical Mister Walden Johnson, began to believe that just maybe, he had dreamed the entire affair. .
The Ghost Soldiers Strike
Friday 29 January 2016
Nearly two weeks passed and no word was heard from The Ghost Soldiers, and a few of those who had attented the Outsiders meeting on Saturday 16 January, had returned to their normal routine, with precious little thought given to the topic. It was a pleasant day in Huston, a day that was unfolding just about as normal as could be expected. Linda McPhearson, the Secretary to Mister Martin McKenzie stormed into his office, Mister McKenzie, its all over the news. Marty looked up from a contract he had lying on his desk, "What is all over the news?"
Linda, having worked for the old man for a number of years, knew all to well that he was usually up to date on world events, if for no other reason then that it was good business. Mister Martin, she often called him, showing her Southern upbringing, "large groups of terrorists in three different countries were attacked, eye witness say they were holding meetings, many of their people were in attendance." Miss Linda, "do these eye witnessed happen to know who it was that managed to discover, they were holding meetings, and then attack each of the groups?"
Linda glanced at her boss, with a look that spoke louder then words, in bewonderment as to whether or not she should repeat what some of the news broadcasts were saying. "Yes sir, she said, news reports from on scene are saying locals saw space aliens fleeing into the night; sounds craze to me boss. Space aleins, its nuts!" Old Marty looked up and across his desk at his secretary, "perhaps it is Linda, perhaps it is. But we shall see, won't we!" Linda turned and left her bosses office, returning to her desk, which was just beyond the his door.
Marty picked up his TV clicker and turned on his televion, positioned across the room, he normally favored Fox News, but the channel happened to be on the liberal CBS, who suprisingly was covering the event. Someone had made a skektch of the, so called space aliens, which had attacked terrorits groups in three different countries. He smiled and thought to himself, "these space aleins bare an uncanny resemblance to The Ghost Soldiers." He rubbed his well trimmed beard with his left hand.
Then giving a slight grin, he said within himself, "no matter, they are doing the job governments either cannot or will not do themselves." As he watched there was yet another little detail that even a liberal network couldn't hide, there was no reports of gun fire, explosives or gass of any sort being used. Except perhaps briefly by the terrorists attending the meetings, who were said to have been spun around the room as if thrown so hard the impact killed them. Yet none of these brilliant journalist could figure what lead to their deaths!
"Well he thought, they can't blame this one of either of the Presidents Bush!" After a few days, most of the networks let the story pass from the news headlines, that is until the three day weekend of 13, 14 and 15 February, when reports of a Terriorists Malitia being vertually destroyed. And again, no reports of gun fire, explosives or gas were reported! While the liberal networks were assembling their lip flapping panels, attacking the aliens as they were being called, more then the terrorists, Fox News at the very least had sumised, these were no space aleins.
Marty had spent the weekend in Dallas with his daughter and son-in-law, and several adult grand-children. Upon his return, It was Monday the 16thof February, when his trusted Secretary Linda McPhearson entered the office. Mister Martin, maybe I shouldn't interupt you like this again, but there's been another mass attack upon a terrorist group, this time a army of them located in Yemen. Old Marty once again had been busy at his desk, as he looked up at Linda! Its alright, I pay you to, among other things, to keep me informed, and so you have!
Marty seldom used the televion in his office, but over the past several weeks, its become almost a daily event! But based upon his Secretary's advise, he picked up his TV clicker, thinking within himself, "Let me see what our boys are up to now." Linda had not left the office yet, as Marty viewed the news for about ten minutes! He then turned off the television, and gave a myschevious grin, like someone who had just pulled off the deal of the century, and just perhaps he had.
Linda glanced over at him, catching his expression of delight! The old man returned the glance, "I am not the least bit surprised at seeing how the Washington Polititians have reacted. They are putting on a big show, as if this is all part of their strategy, when in truth, they haven't a clue! Yet you can bet Linda, they will take all the credit, whenever doing so, will make them look good, as if they are on top of the entire situation. Linda glanced at her boss, "Are they Space Aliens?" Old Marty laughed at the thought, "That's straight out of the area 51 Handbook!"
God save the Confederacy
"In my view, the Christian religion is the most important and one of the first things in which all children, under a free government ought to be instructed...No truth is more evident to my mind than that the Christian religion must be the basis of any government intended to secure the rights and privileges of a free people." ... Noah Webster. International terrorists have not yet comprehended this; perhaps it is time to impress upon them, that which should obvious.

I can name a ton more things. Backwards compatibility for example. On my Windows 7 computer, I can play any game that was made for PC, no matter how old, whether it be using something like DosBox or simply finding a fix for it to run on modern computers.
And don't worry about the mouse and keyboard things, you'll learn in time, but AFAIK, all controllers out for modern consoles are compatible for PC (I'm pretty sure even the Wii U controller can be used with the PC, however with limited functionality.)

In the past year, I've put more hours into games like Terraria or FTL than typical AAA games.
