Measuring the drought impact on your 2012 yields may have been easy, although the psychological impact cut to the quick. However, more difficult may be measuring the impact of the drought on your main asset, the soil on your farm. Sure, it dried out as heat increased and rain diminished, but how was it impacted beyond the loss of moisture?
The soil itself suffered physically and that is something that needs your attention. After all, it may have a $15 to $20 thousand dollar per acre value. With that value you cannot afford to have it break, because baling wire and duct tape won't help much.
The impact of a drought is typically measured in terms of loss of moisture, and the weekly Drought Monitor from the University of Nebraska kept everyone informed of whether they were in the yellow, brown or red territory, and how bad it was in their state. But just like moisture being only one characteristic of grain, it is only one characteristic of the soil.
Grain can be dried to manage moisture, and soil moisture can be managed to some degree as well. But how is that done and what other issues did the drought create? Those questions are addressed by Iowa State University soil scientist Mahdi Al-Kaisi and a number of his colleagues in the Journal of Soil and Water Conservation.
The Iowa State researchers reported that drought conditions, which were pervasive throughout their state, caused fracturing and cracking in the upper 6 to 15 inches of the soil, with the potential for deeper cracking depending on soil minerals and clay content. They report soil crusting was a problem as surfaces hardened where conventional tillage had been used and where there was poor cover from either residue or crops.
Problems began to appear in the winter of 2011-2012 where a lack of surface cover caused deterioration of soil aggregates, allowing cementation to occur that impacted the relationship between soil moisture and plant roots.
Damage to the soil itself
Al-Kaisi reports that soil management practices can improve the way water is stored in the soil, and when available for plants, it will reduce the impact of the drought. Such management practices will enhance the soil aggregation, water storage, water infiltration, and reduce potential erosion, all with management techniques:
- Tillage of dry soil damages soil structure, and when moisture is available the moisture will not be held in the soil and will result in erosion. Tillage also reduces the ability of moisture to reach the subsoil where it would be available for crops in time of moisture stress. Consequently, he says either no till practices or minimum tillage will decrease the impact of a drought.
- Residue management can play a significant role in sustaining a good soil structure. Surface residue retards erosion in heavy rain, and good residue will allow more water to enter and remain in the soil profile. He says allowing 12 in. of corn stubble to remain will achieve those objectives. He adds, "Upright residue traps and stores moisture effectively and slows downslope water movement."
- Cover crops will protect soil from erosion, improve the soil structure, increase organic matter, and reduce nutrient loss. But he acknowledges that dry conditions from a drought may challenge the ability to get a cover crop established.
Agronomic lessons learned from the drought
Al-Kaisi and his Iowa State colleagues identified several additional agronomic lessons that were learned from the 2012 drought:
• Crop residue retention with no-till systems improves water infiltration rate and conserves soil water content by reducing soil cracking and crusting and preserving soil structure.
• Corn following corn suffered greater yield losses than corn following soybean. Continuous corn typically does not yield as well as corn after soybean, but the yield differential was much greater in 2012.
• Cover crops can accumulate residual NO3-N, thus decreasing losses from the root zone. Much of the N accrued in cover crops will become available to subsequent crops.
• The reduction of corn plant growth and grain fill during drought led to high NO3 accumulations in vegetative plant tissues, particularly in the lower corn stalk. Testing corn silage or baled stalks was important in 2012 to determine if NO3-N levels were safe for livestock.
• Corn N fertilization rates necessary to provide optimum yield typically are lower in years with below-normal rainfall. This effect can persist across multiple years of dry conditions, even with a return to normal rainfall. Therefore, effects of dry conditions should be considered in decisions for N application rates to 2013 corn crops.
• Corn silage harvest results in greater P and K removal than grain harvest alone since most of the aboveground plant is harvested. This increased removal rate from grain-only harvest should be considered in nutrient plans for subsequent crops.
• Dry fall conditions can impact soil test results. Predicting nutrient availability during drought is difficult. Sampling after fall rainfall occurs or sampling in the spring improves soil test reliability.
• Drought revealed that genetics may have a limited role in protecting yield without optimum moisture availability in the absence of an integrated crop management system. Significant rootworm feeding damage was observed in 2012 on hybrids with Bt rootworm resistance. Decreased root volume following root pruning results in lower water use under drought conditions, more crop stress, and reduced yields.
• The jury is still out on drought-tolerant hybrids. Unfortunately, results of scientifically valid comparisons of similar genetics with and without drought tolerance are not yet available.
• Planting a range of hybrid maturities will help spread risk, but plant only hybrids adapted to your area. Non-adapted hybrids may have neither the yield potential nor disease resistance of adapted hybrids.
While the drought could continue in some portions of the Cornbelt in 2013, some good lessons have been learned that may help prevent a recurrence of poor yields that resulted from a lack of drought management. Damage to the soil in drought conditions can occur from tillage, which breaks up soil structure and reduces infiltration of rainwater, preventing it from getting to the subsoil.
Allowing more residue to remain on the soil surface will help retain moisture and improve moisture infiltration; and the use of cover crops will retain moisture, provide livestock feed, and retain soil nutrients.

Regarding Bhikkhu Bodhi's headaches, there's an interview back in 2002 where he mentions having 25 years of chronic headaches here:
TheDhamma wrote:Chris wrote:On a side note, a friend of mine who is assisting with the finalisation of BB's Anguttara translation, was in the U.S. for a few weeks and spent some time with BB. Apparently the headaches are continuing unabated and are quite severe, so the printing of the full english Anguttara translation by BB may now be back to as late as 2010.
No need to wait. The Pali Text Society has had an updated AN in translation for about 20 years now. Bhikkhu Bodh's will be much better, I am sure, but the PTS is still pretty good and their re-translation about 20 years ago removed most of the archaic English, that existed in previous editions.

BRITAIN'S leading motoring organisation is now a public limited company.
The AA, headquartered at Fanum House, on Basing View, made its debut on the London Stock Exchange this week, opening at 244 pence a share on Monday.
It had priced its initial public offering (IPO) at 250p per share to raise £1.4billion, most of which will go to its private equity owners Permira, Charterhouse and CVC.
Aviva, Legal & General, Lansdowne and Invesco were among the institutional investors, who backed a buy-in headed by one-time Green Flag boss Bob MacKenzie, who is now the AA's executive chairman.
They have taken on around £3bn of the AA's debt.
The next chapter of The AA got off to a good start this morning – Thursday June 26 – as chief executive Chris Jensen flagged off The AA as a plc with Lord March.
They were at the start of the Goodwood Festival of Speed's Moving Motor Show presented by The AA.
The floatation follows that of its sister company, the over 50s insurance to holidays provider Saga, which closed flat on its debut last month.
Its private equity owners merged with the AA in 2007 under parent vehicle Acromas.
Chief executive Chris Jansen, said he was delighted to have seen such strong demand in AA shares, which despite the fall in share price, was over-subscribed.
Mr Jansen said: "It's no doubt driven by a combination of the core strengths of the business and the expectation of what we can do with the business in the future."
Established in 1905, the membership organisation was demutualise in 1999 and acquired by Centrica for £1.1bn.
In 2004, Permira and CVC purchased the company for £1.75bn.
The AA, otherwise known as The Automobile Association, has been based in Basingstoke since 1972.

Today's score: An old, West German mail bag. Made of some sort of heavy duty fabric. The other side looks the same. Had to have it when I saw it. I'll probably eventually make a frame for it. Measures 4 ft. by 28 inches. A great, Cold War item.

This whole trade idea is predicated on what Chad Ford says Murph is worth. If he's right, this probably works. If not, it won't.
Indy gives: Troy, Diener
Indy gets: Z, Henderson
Cleveland gives: Z, Hickson, #29-ish pick
Cleveland gets: Troy, S.Graham
Charlotte gives: Henderson, Graham
Charlotte gets: Diener, Hickson, #29-ish pick
Obviously this trade is unbelievably good for us, but it might not be as far-fetched as you'd originally think for the other teams.
Cleveland's the obvious sticking point to me, but Chad Ford is saying they'll have to offer more than Z+Hickson, especially if we're going to send Z back to them. From Charlotte's perspective, this looks pretty good. Get a legit prospect at the 4 and give up the (from Larry's perspective) botched draft pick. They also get an extra (although late) pick from Cleveland.

Ukiah Daily Journal
A 32-year-old San Francisco man was arrested on suspicion of driving under the influence and gross vehicular manslaughter after a solo-vehicle crash on Hwy 128 early Friday morning that killed his passenger, a 20-year-old Tucson, Ariz. woman.
The woman, whose identity hasn't yet been released, was in the front passenger seat of a 2008 GMC 2500 pickup truck as Ryan J. Wallis drove it east on Highway 128 at about 3 a.m. Oct. 12, according to the California Highway Patrol.
Wallis was reportedly driving at about 60 miles per hour and, "due to his level of intoxication," lost control of the truck, according to the CHP. The truck spun in a counter-clockwise direction across the highway's westbound lane, then left the northern edge of the road and hit a tree on the passenger side, the CHP reported.
Wallis and two other passengers, Logan P. Stanley, 31, and Jamie L. Mcavoy, 30, both of Tahoe City, had minor injuries from the crash. Everyone in the truck wore a seatbelt, according to the CHP.
Stanley and Mcavoy were treated for complaints of pain and were released from a coast hospital. Wallis was also treated at the hospital for cuts on his face and arrested on suspicion of driving under the influence of alcohol, and additionally booked at the Mendocino County Jail on suspicion of gross vehicular manslaughter while intoxicated, according to the CHP.

The Purdue on the front is outlined in black now, it wasn't last year. Looks better, more even. Still not a fan of the cowcatcher design though, the whole uniform in general really. Be glad when they change it. And when Nike starts letting us wear actual gold again and not this washed out watercolor thing.
I don't mind it. Not my favorite, but I like it.
It could be worse: You could be an Adidas school.
I'm not sure what a "cowcatcher" design is, but if it is the letters in the middle being bigger than the rest of them, I don't like it either. I also think your uniforms would be better served by having the old gold as opposed to this lighter color as well. The lighter color, even with the black outline, is difficult to read against the white uniforms.
Yeah, the cowcatcher is the Purdue lettering, it's the big grill type thing on the front of trains. In theory it sounds like it might be kind of cool, but I just don't like it at all but at least the outline'll make it legible. Need to switch it back to the non-serif block letters.
Ready to knockoff this MichiCant Wolverines.. Boilerup
Why so SERIOUS
I would have did that before him this year if IU would have had flag football... smh... no but that was a wonderful play though...
Why so SERIOUS
This is the biggest game in recent Purdue football history. Win this and they may be front runners to represent the Leaders divison in the Big Ten Champ game. Lose and this season is dangerously close to being a failure. This is must win. Hope is coaching for his job on this one. He loses this game, with the BTCG on a platter, for the taking. No way he's brought back next year. This is a monster game. This is a radar game. They win this, they're on everyones radar.
side note: Edison is having an amazing season. He's been so good. Such a game changer. Reminds me of Percy Harvin at Florida. This whole offense reminds me of that Florida offense minus Tebow though. Which is a huge minus.
Oh, please. Flag football teams on IU's campus are far superior to the actual football team. Give us some credit.
What is the status of Hope's contract? Did he not receive an extension recently?
I wouldn't over-hype it, even if it is fun to do. The Big10 is so flawed that a division championship is within reach even with 2 conference losses. And winning won't do all that much for our national perception, since everyone thinks the Big10 (and Michigan) is so weak anyway.
Anyway, we have a good a chance to win the Big10 as anyone. RBs/WRs/CBs can win it for us, in any given game, but LBs, QB, and Kicking could lose any given game for us.
Hope will be back either way. His recruiting is perceived to be too good.
Well, this is ugly early
There is a faint heartbeat, but the only way Purdue gets back into this is if Michigan coughs the ball up again (and again.)
The problem is that Terbush is so relentlessly mediocre, even when he isn't making mistakes. No playmaking ability. When's he routinely throwing pick-sixes, we've got no chance against anything resembling a football team.
^ Like I said. One-legged Marve is outplaying him. Damn Hope is a lame in-game coach.
Not sure why I'm still watching this. It's probably masochism. Marve is taking some solid hits, would hate to see him get injured yet again.
edit: great post from the rivals board: "Give coach time. He is a great recruiter. He has only been here 4 years and his best QB is a one-legged 6 year guy."
sometimes it is healthier just to laugh...

A friend of mine, who grew up in Connersville with me but is inexplicably a Michigan fan, came to visit me in Lafayette this weekend. We took the opportunity to attend the Purdue/Michigan game yesterday. I had no rooting interest in the game myself. We had pretty good seats, so we were able to see Denard Robinson run about everywhere and the Purdue offense go almost nowhere. The Purdue offense was out of sorts from the start. Purdue seemed to have trouble with the fundamentals all-around. Even the Purdue crowd's "IU Sucks" chant was anemic. (It's so weird being an IU fan in Purdue territory.) Anyway, my friend and the large number of Michigan fans in attendance were quite pleased with the outcome.
Take me out to the black, tell 'em I ain't coming back. Burn the land and boil the sea, you can't take the sky from me.
E'Twaun Moore had 16/7 for the Magic today
I don't understand where this perception came from for Purdue fans, you guys still had to go to Ohio State and had Wisconsin the next week. I think you guys were a little ahead of yourself as was the media to be suggesting Big Ten Champ game births at 3-1 and with no games played in conference yet.
While I agree with you that people were somewhat overly optimistic essentially due to playing Notre Dame tight, Ohio State can't advance to Indianapolis. The only teams in the Leaders who can play in the title game are Purdue, Wisconsin, Illinois, and Indiana. And Illinois and Indiana are beyond dreadful. Ohio State and Penn State are both prohibited. The odds weren't terrible for Purdue. Really, they still aren't. Wisconsin looks better than Purdue but they don't look like world beaters. If Purdue sneaks a win against them, as they've been known to win games they shouldn't in the Hope era (unfortunately the opposite is true also), they've still got a pretty good shot to get the chance to get blown out at Lucas Oil.

thanks for clearing that up, jagoff.
no, but seriously: you can only go so far with a QB that can throw maybe 20 yards.
OSU is going to kill us. Miller is like Robinson only huge. I can't believe what they did to Nebraska's D.

Muskingum College biology professor receives grant for DNA analysis system
Muskingum College Assistant Professor of Biology Dr. Amy J. Santas, working collaboratively with Muskingum College faculty -- Drs. Brian P. Bergstrom, James L. Dooley, Oluwatoyin Osunsanya, and Deepamali Perera -- recently received a grant from LI-COR Biosciences for a state-of-the-art automated DNA analysis system.
The device will open a new world of study for Muskingum students, according to Dr. Santas. "We will have at our disposal a greater level of molecular biology tools than before, and that will make for more in-depth instruction. This is a special opportunity for both students and faculty," she said. "The research potential for our students is almost limitless." Molecular biology techniques have touched numerous disciplines within the sciences. The acquisition of the DNA analyzer will allow Muskingum College student researchers access to these cutting-edge molecular biology tools while they design and test their unique hypotheses.
Dr. Santas called the instrument "remarkable….It has applications in several disciplines and will be utilized in courses in the biology and chemistry departments as well as the molecular biology, neuroscience, and conservation science programs. She explained that the DNA analyzer can be used to conduct sequencing of DNA and to create an AFLP (amplified fragment length polymorphism) -- a type of fingerprinting of DNA. Use of this equipment will open new doors for students in such varied studies as cancer cell characteristics and conservation science.
"Having access to this technology better qualifies our students for graduate school and for the workplace in many different disciplines," said Dr. Santas, who received her Ph.D. from the University of Wisconsin, Madison. She earned her B.A. degree from Luther College.
Dr. Santas joined the faculty of Muskingum College in 2004 and had previously served as a post-doctoral scientist with the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center and with Immunex Corporation. She had also been a recipient of a Ruth L. Kirschstein National Resarch Service Award during her postdoctoral training.
LI-COR Biosciences, which produces the equipment and has awarded the grant, is recognized internationally for standard-setting innovation in plant science research and environmental monitoring.

CLEVELAND, Oh. (AP) Scott Kazmir allowed one run in seven strong innings and Jason Kipnis drove in three, leading the Cleveland Indians to a 5-1 win over the Minnesota Twins on Friday night.
Kazmir (4-4) gave up just a leadoff homer to Brian Dozier in the sixth and four other hits. The left-hander struck out seven, including five in his final two innings. Kazmir has been a pleasant addition for the Indians, who signed him during the winter after he pitched for the independent Sugarland Skeeters last season.
Kipnis hit a sacrifice fly _ to the second baseman _ off Samuel Deduno (3-2) in the third and added a two-run single in the seventh as the Indians won their third straight and seventh in nine games since losing eight in a row.

My little boy learnt to walk when he was very young, it was before his first birthady and once he had started their was no stopping him and at that age they can be quite unpredictable. My little boy could walk alright but he had no sense of where he was going or how to slow down once he got there so we thought the only option for him was to get some reins. Ok, so it looks a bit like you are walking a dog when your child has these on but they are definitely a great safety tool when you have a very young walker.
According to the Clippasafe website, "We've made our name designing harnesses and reins. They not only allow toddlers the freedom and stability when starting to walk, but also offer parents peace of mind both in and out of the home.
They're designed entirely with children in mind, featuring fun and appealing motifs, colours and patterns so that they can enjoy wearing a harness even more!
All of our harnesses conform to the latest British and European Standards, and are supplied with adjustable anchor straps and walking reins. They are very versatile as they can also be fitted to highchairs, strollers, carrycots, prams etc."
The only pair of reins we found at the time were the multi coloured ones which are quite nice primary colours in red, yellow, blue and green so they were very bright and definitely commanded attention. I didn't mind though, as long as they did the job, which they did, then I was happy.
I found the reins really easy to put on my little boy and it almost got to the point where he was putting his arms in the straps himself as he knew what was coming when we were out and about for a walk. The clips worked really well too and clipped in together easily but then I found they were extremely strong and could hold a very eager little boy when they needed to. However, at times I found that because all the rein is is just one strap of material that you are holding, clipped onto the harness, my little boy would sometimes go to topple forward because of the position of the strap and I often had to catch him myself rather than pull on the strap as this would push him over but if he didn't run too fast and just walked then these worked really well.
The walking rein portion was very easy to fit too once you knew how and what I like about this reins is that they do come with instructions so if you are at all confused, and it is a bit, you can consult the paperwork. I never used these to strap onto his highchair or in the pushchair so I can't comment on this function but its nice that its also available to other parents.
My son didn't use these reins for long as he soon got the hang of walking and being confident at walking but in the weeks that he did use them I found them to be a really good safety feature. It stopped him running away from me when we were in public or dangerous places which I think is the ultimate good use for these. They were fairly cheap, around the £5 mark if I remember rightly and I would recommend them to other parents.
The dimensions are as follows:
Adjustable waist strap 45cm - 70cm, Shoulder strap 25cm - 41cm Anchor straps 10. 5cm - 25cm Machine washable Suitable Birth - 4 years
Before we went on our first holidays abroad I decided to invest in this Clippasafe Standard Harness and Rein. My daughter was just one and she was beginning to walk everywhere. She became reluctant to go in the stroller as much so I thought this would be a good alternative to keeping her within my sights.
I purchaed this on ebay for just £5 so it was a welcome bargain! I also got it in pink for my daughter. At first it appeared to be a maze of straps and buckles and there wasnt any clear instructions on the box. Eventually we untangled everything and slipped it over my daughters shoulders. She didnt mind it at all and we began to test it around the house.
The one weakness I found was that the strap that the parent holds onto was very short. My daughter loves to walk briskly from place to place and there was absolutely no give in this. I might as well have been holding onto her t-shirt!
So as a result of this I never really used it and it remained sitting in the stroller throughout the trip. I did find use for it when we were out at dinner and it strapped her well into high chairs. There were high chairs that we were given that were appalling and my daughter could get out if she tried hard enough! So they definitely saved us from a few stressful dinners.
Unless you have a child who is barely walking I wouldn't recommend you get this harness because the lead is just too short to possibly hold a toddler. The package says that it would fit a child up to 4 years but I cannot see a child of three or four on one of these.
My daughter is two now and I have tried to put it on her in the last few weeks and she gallops around the kitchen as if she's a pony. I think I would be too embarrassed at this stage to bring them out!
Teach your child to hold the stroller or your hand because it'll be better than wasting your money on this.
We bought a Clippasafe Standard Harness and Rein set once our child was toddling about really well and wanted to walk alongside the pram/ push chair. This stage for a toddler is always a time when they want to explore their surroundings and see everything there is to see.
Mums and dads can do with a helping hand during this phase and thats where this Clippasafe set comes in very useful, by adding a little bit more piece of mind for everyone, with careful and thoughtful usage.
These Clippasafe Safety Reins have been around for many years and come in a variety of colours and slightly varied styles, but are all very similar to this basic design. This standard set seemed to be really well made and the materials used were strong and reliable. The webbing type material used didn't stretch or shrink and was more then strong enough to cop with the job it was made for. The clips and rings used were also long lasting and more than up to the job.
The Clippasafe Harness and Reins set comes in a selection of mostly monotone colourways, which include, the deep navy blue that we chose, a plain black, mid grey, white and a navy/ white mix. Its nice to know that there is a range of colours available. I would have liked a red set if there had been one for this range but they don't make one as far as I am aware.
The other ranges by the same brand do have other colourways and different chest panels on the front of the harnesses. This standard set has a very simple centre front section, that is more functional than attractive, but it holds everything together as it should. Prices for the set are around £5 to £5.50 per set and include both the harness and the reins which can be attached easily when required.
The harness set comes in a very simple mainly white box, with red highlights and clearly shows the actual harness so that you are certain you are getting the colour and style you want. You should also get a small instruction leaflet which shows how the harness works and its something that you should keep for reference just in case its needed.
We found the harness set easy to put on and take off although there were times when our child didn't enjoy wearing it especially when it was first introduced. Over time we found that it was more easily accepted and once the freedom of being able to walk along side us was a reality, the harness was mostly something that didn't seem to cause any irritation or upset at all.
Sometimes it was difficult to ensure that our child walked along without pulling on the harness and once or twice we had a near miss and had to prevent a tumble. This is in part due to the fact that children do tend to want their freedom when out walking and if mum or dad wants to go one way and they want to go another, a little pulling and leaning their weight away tends to result in a stumble sometimes.
One thing we thought the harness was useful for was clipping it to the sides of the push chair. This meant that our child was kept safe and secure by the harness whilst sitting in the push chair when out and about. This is something that is can be helpful. The harness is easy to clip on and off and seemed to have a safe enough closing and opening click in/ out system.
You can also use the harness to clip into a high chair if the fixings are provided on the chair you have. Again this can be very handy for mums and dads at meal times, as it can prevent any nasty tumbles from the high chair when mum or dads back is turned or their attention is briefly with other family members.
Whilst we found that mostly the harness set did a perfectly good job at steadying our child and offering them the feeling of freedom they wanted, I do need to add that the set must be used safely and thoughtfully.
A friend of ours when out and about with her child and using the same type of harness, once spent the afternoon at casualty having her childs bump to the head looked at. It wasn't so much due to a fault with the harness itself, but something that any similar harness may contribute towards.
Her child pulled ahead too keenly, tripped and bumped before mum managed to catch him. In the end everything turned out to be fine, but this did give us cause for concern after the incident. We never fully relied on the harness when out walking after that, as we wanted to avoid similar incidents and paid very careful attention when it was in use.
In summary I feel that the harness and reins set was helpful to have at times, but could not be relied on 100% when out and about with a young toddler. One thing it does stop is the chance of you and your child becoming separated as you are always in contact via the harness and reins when your child is walking.
Rate wise I feel that a 3 star rating is about right here. we found it very helpful at times as it could be used in a variety of situations. These can be a useful item to have during the toddling stages, but only with careful supervision.
I used these clippasafe reins on my son when he was a toddler and found them to be very useful
The reins fit on the child easily, they slip over the arms like you are putting on a painting apron and the 2 sides lock together with a push in clip. The reins sit around the childs tummy and over both shoulders so there is no chance of it pulling and hurting the child as the restraint is spread out.
The reins also have an anchor strap at the back which is for the adult to hold. This is attached to 2 parts on the back with the same press button clasp. This can be adjusted and made shorter or longer depending on how much freedom you want to give to your child. The anchor straps can be adjusted from 10-25cm.
The shoulder straps can be adjusted from 25-43 cm and the waist straps can be adjusted from 28-68cm so they are suitable for most children.
I found these reins a lifesaver when out and about. My son was a very inquisitive child and as soon as something took his attention he would be off. By using the reins he was more likely to walk alongside me and hold my hand. I usually kept the anchor strap on a short length when by the road and then took it off completely when we were in the park but he was aware that if he ran off the reins would go back on. I used the reins for about 6 months and by that time he was more than happy to walk with me rather than ahead.
If I was working and had a pram with me then my sons reins would attach easily to the pram so both my hands were free. It just clipped around the handle and gave him enough space to walk alongside the pram without getting caught on the wheels.
The reins are completely washable and come in different colours-pink, blue and green. They are currently selling between £5.50 and £6.50.
I was going to put off buying a harness and rein set till I was in town and could have a real look around as to what was on offer. However as it happened my mother-in-law picked us up a high chair, you know the type the one with the chair and table. As it was it was missing any sort of harness to help keep a child safe whist feeding or shall I say feeding the floor. As it only cost £5 for the high chair I wasn't too unhappy but I would have preferred to find one myself that had all its parts. So it was off to our local chemist to see if they had any baby harnesses and reins in stock. The only one the did was your basic standard harness and rein for the price of £5.99 (I remember when these were much cheaper and better made). I thought the price was a little on the steep side but has it was for safety reason for my purchase, I had not choice but to grudgingly depart with my cash. When I got home I removed the harness from the packaging to have a closer look at them. The contents consisted of the harness, the rein and two small straps so that you could attach the harness to an highchair linked to the D rings. The harness is designed for babies from 4 months and up to the age of a 4 year old child, that is a guide as each child's build is different. As for colour, they were navy blue with green stripes, I would have liked to see a wider range of colours as I could have imagined that on a girl these would have looked very boyish. Luckily we purchased ours for a boy so that wasn't too much of an issue. Attaching them to the high chair was easy as you slip the small straps through the D rings and pop the end of it through the loop at the end of the small strap. You the clip the harness to the ends of the straps, it is then held in place by the plastic catches. As the harness is fully adjustable around the waist and shoulders you should be able to have peace of mind that your child
is secure and comfortable. I did say should, didn't I. Well as for comfort they couldn't have been too bad as John never winged or moaned. It is a whole different story when it came to his safety. As I was feeding John he tugged his self towards me when the catch that was keeping the harness attached to his body snapped making him hit his mouth against the table giving himself a fat lip. It wasn't like he had put much pressure or strain on these either. The plastic catches must have been made by such a week material as this was only the 3rd time that these had been used in his highchair. It is just lucky that the chair was low to the ground and not placed on the table as it could have been far more damage caused. I can not dispute that Clippasafe have produced a quantity of quality safety goods for young children and babies. But when it comes to these I would strongly avoid them and go for something made with stronger materials, such as leather with metal catches. I can not comment on how these perform when it comes to using these for walking a toddler. All I can say is that a child will tug and pull you into every direction but the one you want to go, so there for more strain would be inflicted on the harness than that of an highchair. If I can find my receipt I shall be sending these back to Clippasafe with a letter of disgust.
The Clippasafe harness seemed ideal for my daughter. At 6 months old she is more mobile and enjoys sitting up in her coachbuilt pram when we are on our daily jaunts around the villages. However, most harnesses seemed too big; this was the exception. In principal, these adequately serve the purpose for which they are designed. Sure enough, they fit Leah nicely, not too loose, and they adjust well to fit her in any situation. I have just the one complaint about these, albeit a major one :- Who on earth came up with the design for the rein and anchor strap fixings?!!! These consist of a semi-circular button which slots into the corresponding fastening on the harness. I can understand that the older harnesses, with the simple clips, may be easier for the children to unfasten, but these are nigh impossible to fasten and unfasten with a wriggling baby attached! My mother-in-law babysits while I work 2 days a week, and she cannot work these fixings for the life of her! The style also means that you need anchor straps of the same make for all other uses, such as the highchair or pushchair. With the old style clips you could use the D-rings which are usually fixed to such items. Now, if I want to move Leah from the pram to the highchair, I need to remove the anchor straps from one place to another, fix them around the D-rings, and then try to fix the harness to the anchor straps, all with a bag of jiffle in tow! Unfortunately, other manufacturers seem to be using this same method of fixing. Only leather harnesses seem to have escaped - and they are all too big for my baby!
I bought these for my son when I was preganant with my daughter as I wanted him to learn to walk not sit in a buggy all day been pushed around.When I first put these on him he decided it was a game and span around causing the rains to twist around my hand. He did not have enough room to breathe with his coat on even though they can be used up until they are four. When we were out and about he was always a couple of steps in front of me which was good ,but when he wanted to go in one direction and I wanted to go in the other I had to pull him back and always thought the rains were gonna break.I also found the rains twisted around peoples legs(not good when you are in the middle of town) which then ensured people giving me dirty looks and saying keep your child under control. It was even worse when I had my daughter as the rains went in every direction but the one I was going in.I decided to stop using the rains and taught my son to hold my hand and I now feel a lot happier without the rains.
With fully adjustable waist, shoulder and anchor straps. Complete with Walking Rein. Fits from 4 months up to 4 years.

The Battle of Germantown
||| no PAGES TO FOLLOW |||
The morning started well for the Americans who had the British retreating. But Washington's plan went astray when one of his four columns lost its bearings in a dense fog and thick smoke. Others columns failed to coordinate effectively.
Charles Willson Peale, 1783, Portrait Gallery (Second Bank)
Henry Knox
In the end, bad luck and poor timing forced Washington to retreat to Whitemarsh with the British in pursuit.
The Battle was an American defeat but it served to boost morale and self-confidence. They believed the defeat was the result of bad luck, not poor tactics.
The Americans suffered 152 losses, 521 wounded, and over 400 captured. The British casualties numbered 537 plus 14 captured.

(March 2, 2007) -- NFL Network's Adam Schefter has learned Denver Broncos quarterback Jake Plummer is expected to announce his retirement.
Earlier today, it had been reported that the Broncos agreed to terms on a trade that would send Plummer to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in exchange for a fourth-round draft pick. That trade is expected to be nullified due to Plummer's decision to retire.
Plummer has played 10 seasons in the NFL. A second-round draft pick of the Arizona Cardinals in 1997, he played six seasons in Arizona before signing with Denver in 2003. He led the Broncos to the 2005 AFC Championship Game, but was replaced as the starter late in the 2006 season by rookie Jay Cutler.
I was thinking thats what he would do rather then going to Tampa.

I have created an innovative proprietary J2EE/Java security framework encapsulating the SOAP 1.1, SOAP 1.2, IBM's STSUU 1.0, WS-Addressing 1.0, WS-Policy 1.2, WS-SecureConversation 1.3, WS-Security 1.0, WS-SecurityPolicy 1.2, WS-SecurityUtil 1.0, WS-Trust 1.2, WS-Trust 1.3 web service/security standards.
Exemplifying high useability, flexibility, extensibility, and portability, this security framework offers a very easy and far more flexible exposure particularly to the WS* security standards than both, the currently available open-source Higgins Identity Management framework, as well as web services frameworks such as Apache AXIS 1.x/2.x, Apache CXF 2.x etc.
The security framework integrates transparently to use the SOAP/RESTful messaging facility provided by any standard web services framework such as Apache AXIS 1.x/2.x, Apache CXF 2.x etc.
The security framework incorporates as part of the offering use of the XML Digital Signature 1.0 standard using Apache XML Security 1.4.3 implementation of the standard. Also included as part of the offering is the XACML 1.0/1.1/2.0 authorization standard using both, Apache XACMLLight 2.2, as well as Sun XACML 1.2 implementations of the standard.
I have successfully tested the security framework's integration with IBM TFIM's Security Token Service (STS) via SOAP 1.1/WS-Trust 1.2/WS-Trust 1.3/XMLDigSig 1.0. Also, successfully tested the security framework's integration with IBM WebSphere Datapower SOA Appliance (AAA policy) via SOAP 1.1/SOAP 1.2/WS*/XMLDigSig 1.0/XACML 1.0/1.1/2.0.
I believe that this represents a tremendous immediate opportunity for IBM to evaluate the feasibility of replacing current use (particularly within the IBM TFIM product offering) of the open-source Higgins Identity Management framework with my J2EE/Java security framework!
I would be happy to discuss this outcome with interested IBM parties operating in the TFIM, Datapower SOA etc. product spaces. So don't hesitate to contact me directly if you are interested in knowing more about this just-released J2EE/Java security framework.

Jonathan Holton, charged with three felony accounts last year, including two for video voyeurism, has a scholarship awaiting him at West Virginia if he's cleared of his charges, the Charleston Daily Mail reported.
During his freshman year at Rhode Island, Holton was accused of videotaping two of his own consensual sexual encounters and posting the videos to Facebook. Holton's arrest occurred after two female students complained separately to school officials about the alleged incidents, the Providence Journal reports. The women were told some videos of them had been posted to Facebook and forwarded to about 30 people.
"These are disturbing allegations that strike at the core of our commitment to make this a safe and civil campus community," Thomas R. Dougan, the school's vice president for student affairs, said in a statement in March 2012. "Respect for the rights and privacy of all of our community members is paramount. Campus police and Student Affairs are involved in separate intensive investigations surrounding these allegations."
Shortly thereafter, Holton was arrested and charged with a felony count of possession of stolen goods, when Holton was found to have a laptop stolen from a residence hall, the Daily Mail reported.
It would seem unlikely that the Mountaineers would attach their name to a player with a suspect past if they didn't have some assurances that he'd be cleared. WVU coach Bob Huggins even announced the news Monday on the team's website.
"Jonathan is a prototype Big 12 forward," says Huggins. "He can really score it off the bounce, play with his back to the basket, stretch defenses to make 3-pointers, as well as being a terrific offensive rebounder. He should give us immediate help on the front line."
Holton played in 31 games for the Rams in 2011-12, averaging 10.2 points and 8.1 rebounds per game. The Miami native played for Palm Beach State College this past season, averaging 17.5 points and 14.1 rebounds, the Daily Mail reported.
Holton's coach at Palm Beach State, Butch Estes, said Holton also has some work to do academically to be eligible for the Mountaineers, the Daily Mail reported.

All these wines were made exclusively for, and thanks to, Naked Angels. It means you probably won't recognize the labels.
So how do you know which wines to try and which to avoid?
1. Look for the green tick
If we know enough about your tastes we'll put a green tick on wines you'll love, and a red cross on those to avoid. Easy peasy.
2. Trust the crowd, not a stuffy wine critic
See how many people rated the wine positively after they tried it.
3. Be a pro, use the filters
After a big red from Napa with a 90% rating that costs between $10 and $20? Use the filters to narrow your search. Smarty pants.

GENEROUS fundraisers donated £20,000 towards a new ultrasound machine to help with the early detection of lung cancer in Worcestershire.
The two League of Friends groups at Worcestershire Royal Hospital and Kidderminster Hospital raised the cash towards a state-of-the-art £100,000 endobronchial ultrasound (EBUS) machine, with the rest of the money raised by Worcestershire Acute Hospitals NHS Trust and other charitable donations.
The machine – the second of its kind in the county after a similar piece of equipment was set up at Redditch's Alexandra Hospital – means patients can be tested for the disease without the need for invasive chest surgery.
NHS experts said the machine would benefit up to 50 patients per year, reduce the time taken to start treatment by about three weeks and free up surgeons' time to carry out more treatments.
Consultant respiratory physician Dr Ingrid du Rand said the new machine was "a fantastic development for patients in Worcestershire".
"We're really privileged to be able offer this service," she said.
"It wouldn't have been possible without the help of the Friends of Worcestershire Royal Hospital and Kidderminster League of Friends.
"We're very grateful for everything they've done.
"Patients will start to see the benefit straight away and our first appointment was at the end of February.
"Early treatment of cancer gives patients the best possible chance of recovery.
"This technology will help us to reach a diagnosis faster than ever without the need for invasive surgery or asking patients to travel."
Chairman of the Friends of Worcestershire Royal Hospital Eluned Smith said: "When we saw what the EBUS could do to help patients with lung problems we knew we had to do everything possible to make the machine available."
Her counterpart from Kidderminster Hospital David Wase said: "This is one donation that we can be particularly proud of.
"Thank you to all our volunteers for the essential fundraising work you do."
Patients using the machine are placed under local anaesthetic and a flexible ultrasound tube is guided through the mouth into the lungs before sample cells are taken for testing using the ultrasound images as a guide.
The procedure takes less than an hour and results are available within a day with the patient able to return home on the same day.


text: The slotting for my Seniors are beginning to take shape as I tier prospects prior to fine tuning throughout the evaluating process. I have draftable grade on 11 Senior quarterbacks. Quarterback: Tier 1: (Top 25-50 Grade) Geno Smith / West Virginia Matt Barkley / USC Ryan Nassib / Syracuse Mike Glennon / N.C. State Tier 2: (Top 75-150 Grade) Zac Dysert / Miami (OH) Tyler Wilson / Arkansas Landry Jones / Oklahoma Brad Sorensen / Southern Utah E.J. Manuel / Florida St. Tier 3: (Top 175-250 Grade) Sean Renfree / Duke Colby Cameron / Louisiana Tech *Note* At no point in their stellar collegiate careers have I evaluated Collin Klein or Denard Robinson as legitimate next level quarterbacks. Robinson is perhaps the best athlete and most explosive, dynamic playmaker in college football, and view him as making a transition to the WR position in the same manner of former college quarterbacks such as Bert Emanuel, Antwaan Randle El, Matt Jones, Josh Cribbs, and Brad Smith, for example. Hines Ward and Anquan Boldin were both QB's in college who made the transition to WR while actually still in college. Robinson possesses the mental and physical attributes to make the transition and become a terrific weapon in the NFL as a receiver/return specialist, although the blocking aspects are simply unprojectable at the moment. There's probably no single player in the country who means more to their team than Collin Klein. As of right now, he deserves the Heisman Trophy for being the best player in college football. What he's done at Kansas St. under Bill Snyder is incredible.... accounting for 76% of total offense and 63% of the offensive touchdowns K-State has had over the past 2 seasons. A completely unselfish player with extremely rare leadership qualities, rugged toughness, maturity, and special running ability for an athlete of his size. Kids like him are everything that's right about college football. One of the more special players I've seen in college football in recent years. However, his passing ability simply does not translate to the NFL. The flaws are obvious to anyone who takes the time to delve into them, so they're not worth going into great detail about.... Especially for a kid who does nothing but produce and win. Make no mistake, Klein will be drafted, and the potential is there to be drafted fairly high to a team who falls in love with his off the charts intangibles, size, toughness, athletic ability, production, and leadership. He makes sense only if you're a team that has a specific package designed to take advantage of the exact same things that Bill Snyder takes advantage of at Kansas St. Ryan Nassib possesses a terrific set of physical tools to work with, along with the quickest release in all of college football. That release is really something special... lightening fast.

Recently I found out I was gluten intolerant. In changing my lifestyle to incorporate my new way of eating, I found that my Dad's brownies were going to be too hard to give up. Instead of throwing in the towel, I decided to make them with my Bob's Red Mill flour mixture.
I mix this up in large batches and have it handy for when I'm ready to bake. It is super simple and requires that you sift together 6 cups brown rice flour, 2 cups potato starch, 1 cup tapioca starch and 3 tsp xanthan gum. Once done store in air tight container until you are ready to use!

He did it.
Felix Baumgartner broke the speed of sound during his stratospheric leap from 128,097 feet on Sunday and landed safely 9 minutes and 3 seconds later, touching down so gracefully that he made the whole thing look easy. He fell to his knees and raised his fists as his family, hundreds of people supporting his mission and, no doubt, the millions of people watching worldwide via the Internet cheered.
It was awesome, in every sense of the word.
The Austrian adventurer reached an unofficial speed of 834 mph — Mach 1.24 — as he fell 119,846 feet during a free fall of 4 minutes and 20 seconds. With that, he unofficially became the first person to exceed the speed of sound in free fall while also setting unofficial records for the highest skydive and highest manned balloon flight in history. The only ring he didn't grab was longest free fall ever.
"It was harder than I expected," Baumgarter said after returning to mission control in Roswell, New Mexico, according to The New York Times. "Trust me, when you stand up there on top of the world, you become so humble. It's not about breaking records anymore. It's not about getting scientific data. It's all about coming home."
The 43-year-old former paratrooper topped the unofficial record retired Air Force Col. Joe Kittinger, now 84, set in 1960 when he jumped from 102,800 feet during Project Excelsior. The record-setting dive from 24.2 miles above Roswell, New Mexico, came 65 years to the day after Chuck Yeager first broke the sound barrier in the Bell X-1 rocket. His mission was marred only by a faulty heating circuit in his visor and a tumble as he began his descent.
"Couldn't have done it any better myself," Kittinger, Baumgartner's mentor and the only person in communication with him during the mission, said over the radio.
Baumgartner achieved three of the four records he was after, falling short of taking the benchmark for longest free fall away from Kittinger. All of the records are yet to be ratified by the Federation Aeronautique Internationale, which according to the BBC had a representative in Roswell.
The Austrian, whose mission had been twice delayed by weather, lifted off at 9:31 a.m. Mountain time as his parents — making their first trip beyond Europe — and hundreds of well-wishers watched from Roswell and millions more watched online. Inside the capsule, Baumgartner smiled broadly at liftoff and gave the "No. 1" sign with his finger as mission control erupted in applause and cheers.
It was nail-bitingly tense for several minutes as Baumgartner cleared the first 4,000 feet, an area called the "dead zone" because it would be impossible to deploy a parachute should something go wrong.
Once he cleared that hurdle, it was smooth sailing as the capsule floated upward at about 1,200 feet per minute. As the massive balloon, filled with 180,000 cubic feet of helium for the launch, rose, Baumgartner and Kittinger passed the time performing periodic systems checks and running through the pre-jump procedure — busy work designed, in part, to occupy Baumgartner's mind and help him fight claustrophobia.
"Be sure to stay hydrated, Felix," Kittinger said as the capsule passed 22,000 feet. "You're doing great."
The ascent took 2 hours and 21 minutes, with Red Bull ticking off milestones as they passed: The so-called Armstrong limit at 63,000 feet, beyond which a pressurized suit is mandatory. Baumgartner's previous test jumps from 71,000 feet in March and 97,000 feet in July. The 102,800-foot benchmark set by Kittinger. And then the 113,740-foot record, set in 1961, for the highest manned balloon flight. Outside the capsule, cameras showed the curvature of the earth — exaggerated by the wide-angle lens — and the line where the blue sky of earth meets the black vastness of space. It was beautiful to behold.
As the capsule passed 125,000 feet, Kittinger and Baumgartner began preparing for the jump — disconnecting his suit from the capsule's oxygen system, stowing equipment and the like. Then it was time. Five years of training and countless millions of dollars — all of it provided by Red Bull, his sponsor — had come to this.
"OK Felix, we're depressurizing the capsule," Kittinger said. "Your guardian angel will take care of you."
"The door will not open," Baumgartner replied a moment later.
Kittinger, ever calm, told Baumgartner the pressure inside and outside the capsule hadn't yet equalized. The capsule dangled in near-vacuum beneath a whisper-thin balloon that had expanded to 30 million cubic feet. "OK," came the response, crackling over the radio. A camera showed Felix waiting patiently as the capsule continued rising.
And then, the door opened.
"There it is. There's the world out there," Kittinger said.
We were right there with him, thanks to a pair of cameras mounted outside the capsule, to take in the vastness of the scene and the enormity of what Baumgartner was about to do. The daredevil slid his seat forward until his feet were dangling 24.2 miles above the earth like a child sitting on the world's highest swing.
"Start the cameras and our guardian angel will take care of you," said Kittinger, the only man to have ever experienced anything approaching what Baumgartner felt at that moment. Baumgartner stood on the step just outside the hatch, hands grasping handrails at either side. His voice crackled over the radio.
"When you're up here, you realize just how small you really are," he said. "I'm coming home now."
He made a snappy salute. And then he jumped.
It was breathtaking. Away he went, falling toward earth at frightening speed, breath coming hard and fast over the radio. Within moments he was approaching 700 mph, about the speed of sound at that altitude, and he was expected to break the sound barrier within 35 seconds. At mission control, his mother, Eva Baumgartner, wiped tears from her eyes.
"I could feel myself break the speed of sound," Baumgartner said in a tweet hours after the jump. "I could feel the air building up and then I hit it."
It didn't go exactly as planned, and early on it looked like Baumgartner might be in trouble. He was supposed to descend in the "delta position" — head down, arms back — immediately after leaving the capsule. But he tumbled over and over before gaining control of the situation and stabilizing his descent.
"That spin became so violent it was hard to know how to get out of it," Baumgartner said in a tweet this afternoon. "I was able to get it under control and break the speed of sound. There was a time I really thought I was in trouble. I had to decide to fight all the way down and I finally got stable."
His parachute deployed somewhere around 6,000 feet. Baumgartner floated to earth beneath a bright, sunny sky. He landed on both feet without the slightest stumble, then dropped to his knees and raised his fists triumphantly as the ground crew raced toward him. A helicopter hovered nearby to carry him to mission control, and to the family waiting for him there.

i was looking at the gggt flight chart ( http://www.gottagogottathrow.com/catalo ... Chart1.pdf ) and nothiced that the QK and wraith are rated the same but are they really? if it makes a difference i prefer pro plastic over champion. i have the QK (165 & 171) right now and when its warm enough to have a t-shirt on im right around 400' with it consistently with no "s-curve".
also how does the avenger / illusion / tracker fit into this also? i have thrown the my friend's starfire before and didnt like it at the time but i was throwing really shitty that day and it pissed me off so i haven't tried it since.

Why would Rock just let Lesnar get away with costing him in a title shot that he's been building to since July, that also happens to be his first title match in over 10 years?
Triple H-Brock Lesnar is probably going to happen at Mania but they've already built up a story for it- Lesnar broke Triple H's arm again and made him retire- it's not like they NEED to have Lesnar spoil the Rumble WWE Championship match- and why would Triple H care if he did?
Also, there is no way in hell they'll have Punk break Taker's streak.

Hi my name is Nora! I was born in July 2016. Me and my brother Benjamin were found all by ourselves when we were only a week old and brought to the shelter. We had to be bottle fed for a while until we got bigger. Now we are playful, curious kittens ready to take on the world! If interested in adopting me please fill out information form at www.lifelongfriends.org/adoptions. Texas residents only.
Through our small shelter, over 5000 animals have found loving, forever homes and nearly 1000 more have been reunited with their original owners. Other animals have found permanent safe haven at our shelter. We are very different from most shelters, even those that call themselves "no-kill." Many of those facilities find ways around the no-kill philosophical mandate. But to us, every life is a precious gift that deserves respect, and we do everything we can to save the animals that come to us.
We have chosen the most challenging and expensive of all rescue work by sheltering animals that come in off the streets. We are responsible for the basic medical (spay/neuter, vaccines, etc.). In addition, we treat the animals who are sick, injured, and/or malnourished.
We believe that all of our dogs and cats are adoptable. Therefore, our volunteers work tirelessly to find loving, forever homes that are a good match for each and every one of them. We do not discriminate based on breed, age, or special needs.
Most of our funding comes from donations, fundraisers, and grants. But, as you can imagine, money is always in short supply – especially these days.
Our staff consists of dedicated volunteers, most of whom work full-time jobs outside the shelter. We contribute our love, our time, and a large proportion of the money needed to keep the center afloat and make sure the animals are well cared for, happy, and healthy.
We are always in need of volunteers and donations.
You can fax a completed Adoption Application to 512-267-0156, or you can bring it with you to an adoption location. The weekend adoption schedule is subject to change due to the availability of volunteers. We encourage you to call the shelter at 512-267-6876 to confirm places and times of off-site adoptions.
We currently do not have an online Adoption Application, but you can e-mail us at firstname.lastname@example.com if you have any questions or if you want to request a copy of the form in Microsoft Word.
Important Note for Dog/Puppy Adoptions:
*We do NOT allow invisible/electric fences.
*We prefer a fenced yard.
*In state adoptions only.
*The dog/puppy is NOT allowed to be tied or chained out for any reason.
*The dog/puppy is NOT allowed to run loose for any reason.
Adoption fees are based on the animal. Please call for current adoption fees and discounts.
*Dogs (over 30 lbs.) and cats that are spayed/neutered
*Small dogs (under 30 lbs.) that are spayed/neutered
*Kittens and medium- and large-breed puppies that are NOT yet spayed/neutered -- (In addition to the adoption fee, a deposit of $50-100 will be required. This deposit is refundable upon showing proof that the animal has been spayed/neutered.)
Small-breed puppies that are NOT yet spayed/neutered -- (In addition to the adoption fee, a deposit of $50-100 will be required. This deposit is refundable upon showing proof that the animal has been spayed/neutered.)
To see an explanation of services provided prior to adoption, please go to this web page: www.lifelongfriends.org/services/
Step 2: Be interviewed by an Adoption Counselor. Our adoption counselors are well trained and are required to ask for detailed information about the potential living arrangements for our animals. Adoptions considered for State of Texas residents only.
Step 3: Meet the animals to find a good match for you and your lifestyle.
Step 4: The Application Review Committee will process your application. Lifelong Friends is not able to accept every application for adoption and reserves the right to reject an application. Applications are PROCESSED on a first come first serve basis but are APPROVED based on which application is the best match for the animal. We have set guidelines for application acceptance and realize that your opinion may differ from ours. Thank you for your understanding.
Step 5: If your Adoption Application is approved, you will fill out an Adoption Contract and other important documents, such as the in-house Microchip Registration Form. The Contract is a legally-binding document that spells out your responsibilities as the owner of the pet you are adopting. In addition, the Contract provides you with a record of the medical care that the shelter provided for the pet.
Thank You!
