Much of Florida to our south is overrun with huge, breeding Burmese pythons that don't even belong here.
Does this statement intrigue you somehow? Sound like a dare, even?
The 2013 Python Challenge may be for you. Minimum requirements: basic understanding of the invasive species and its habitat, which usually also includes venomous snakes and alligators. Also helpful: willingness to take risks, tall boots, quick hands and a dulled sense of smell.
"If they can't get away, they will try to bite," said Devin Belliston, a Miami science teacher who has been a licensed python hunter for six months. "If they can't bite you, they spray that stuff all over you."
That stuff? It's a combination of urine and feces, Belliston said, and the snake's last defense mechanism before she's caught, and either killed or double-bagged and turned into the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission.
Still intrigued? You're in luck. The monthlong python challenge in South Florida starting Jan. 12 is open to the general public and timed to coincide with breeding season, when females lay dozens of eggs at a time. Though there is a hunting season for reptiles, a hunting permit is normally required and hunters out of season need to be licensed in the trade.
"Opening to the public is really helping with raising public awareness immensely," said Carli Segelson, spokeswoman for the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission. "It gives people that are concerned about the environment an opportunity to help."
Data sheets on the hunt will provide valuable awareness and research on the non-native snakes while helping to cull the population that's decimating some native wildlife. There is no good estimate on how many Burmese pythons live in Florida, Segelson said. A ban on acquiring the snakes was enacted by the wildlife commission after research that showed they were breeding.
Segelson said the hunt could help reduce the numbers before females get the chance to lay 50-100 eggs apiece throughout the Everglades. A $25 fee and 30-minute online training are required to take part, and the hunter who collects the most Burmese pythons or the biggest in each class — public or licensed python hunter — will get a $1,500 prize. Though the licensed hunters do not typically kill their catch, general participants can euthanize theirs with humane methods.
Ruben Ramirez, a licensed python hunter from Miami, will compete against other permit holders in the Python Challenge. He captured a 17-foot Burmese last month and estimates he's caught about 60 in the last six years, so he's aiming to win in the licensed hunter competition, both for the publicity and for the good of the Everglades.
But Ramirez, 40, said he wishes state officials put their money where their mouths are more often if they truly want to make a dent.
"I think we'll make an impact somewhat, but I don't think its ever going to stop," said Ramirez. "The more people out there catching Burmese, the more it will help the [native] population."
His biggest caution for amateur prospective hunters is to read up on native snakes to ensure they aren't inadvertently harmed. He also insists that only people who are really familiar with the environment in South Florida should jump into the fray.
"You don't want to bend over, saying how cute that fish is, and not notice the 10-foot gator underneath," Ramirez said.
Though the python population is spreading north, they haven't made it to Jacksonville yet and conditions here may be too cold to sustain breeding. But Burmese pythons have been spotted here: The wildlife commission has a record of two caught and killed in Northeast Florida and South Georgia since 2010 that were most likely released pets — the same way the pythons got to the Everglades in the first place.

Fever, Chills, three to five red blood cells and two to three white blood cells in urine
Patient : Hello doctor, I am 33 years male, Indian, living in Kuwait (for 2 years). In the last month i had fever and chills with severe sinus head ache but no cold or cough symptoms, for that i was prescribed to take Amoxicillin (500 milligram), Ibuprofen, ranitidine, Paracetamol (thrice a day ) and Loratidine (once daily) for 5 days. When i was about to complete the medications i had throat infection and ear pain for nearly 1 week. At that time complete blood count and widal test are taken. Complete blood count is normal and Widal is negative. So i was prescribed to take Azithromycin (500 milligram for 3 days) with fexofenadine (at night) and ebastine (in morning). After completing Azithromycin my fever (nearly 102 degree) and chills not reduced. Again went to doctor, urine routine analysis, C-Reactive protein and Erythrocyte sedimentation rate test were taken. Result is 3-5 red blood cells with 2-3 white blood cells in urine. C-Reactive protein is positive, Erythrocyte sedimentation rate value is 20 mm per hr. so i was diagnosed for urinary tract infection with presence or absence of kidney stone but i dont have pain in any parts. Then i was prescribed to take ciprofloxacin (500 Milligrams, twice a day), cystone (2 tablets per day) and apple cranberry juice for 7 days. While taking these medications my chills gone and fever is reduced to low grade but continued to show around 99.4 degree daily and also tiredness. Now 2 days over after completing the medications but the fever and tiredness is still there. MY question is what i am suffering from? what is the next step to do? is it Kidney related problem or some other problem? which specialist doctor i have to meet? Please reply. Thanks in advance

The Arizona Diamondbacks had a tough 2010 season, losing nearly 100 games and finishing in last place in the National League West, 27 games behind the eventual World Series champion San Francisco Giants. Both manager A.J. Hinch and general manager Josh Byrnes were cut loose near the end of the season as the organization hoped a new direction would bring more success. Kirk Gibson was given the reins as manager, while former San Diego Padres general manager Kevin Towers was given another shot in the front office.
This year has been a pleasant improvement for the D-backs, as they have a comfortable lead in the division and are primed for a return to the postseason. Remarkably, the team has gone from last to first in only one season with just a handful of seemingly minor roster changes. The team has scored runs at roughly the same pace as 2010, while allowing a full run per game less this season.

San Jose, CA (PressExposure) April 25, 2008 -- Innominds Software (www.innominds.com) had organized a Blood Donation Camp in partnership with Red Cross, HYSEA and NASSCOM on April 17th, The World Hemophilia Day.
Haemophilia (or hemophilia) is a group of hereditary genetic disorders that impair the body's ability to control blood clotting or coagulation. Hemophilia is a silent killer with over 50,000 people affected in India. World Hemophilia Day is observed every April 17 to promote a global effort to secure appropriate care and treatment for a disease that is the oldest known inherited bleeding disorder caused by a defect in the genes.
Over 100 volunteers, including 86 Innominds employees, donated blood on this noble occasion. The event was inaugurated at 11am by Divakar Tantravahi, the Innominds MD, who was also the first person to donate blood.
âWe organized this blood donation camp to create awareness of Haemophelia among our employees and neighbors in Hi tech City and Banjara Hillsâ, said Divakar. âWe hope more and more organizations will come forward to support this cause and spread the awareness across the whole nationâ, he added.

Sometimes when I'm sitting here trying to write these articles, I wonder if I'm sharing enough of myself with you. Obviously, there are some things that are private, but at the same time, there are some fun things that I think might go a long way to helping you to get to know me better.
I racked my brain on this one, and what I came up with is a list of 10 fun things you might not know about me. It's nothing groundbreaking, but you might find you have some things in common with me along this little writing journey.
So, here goes.
1. A couple weeks ago, my family went on vacation to Hershey Park.
While we were there, we went to a shop that let you choose a crayon color and get it custom printed with whatever name you wanted. My son named his crayon Brock Lesnar blue. It got me to thinking, if I were a crayon, what color would I want to be. I think my boy is onto something with blue, so my self-named crayon would be Chris Weidman blue.
2. If I were an insect, I'd be a killer bee.
They're the dominant force in the bee kingdom, so I think I'd want to be one of the winning team.
3. If I could be any superhero, it'd be Superman.
Every time.
4. If I were one of the creatures of the ocean, I'd want to be a sunfish.
They're fat, lazy and just lay on top of the ocean. When they eat, they just open their mouths and fish swim in like it was a vacuum. They just eat, get fat and hang out. No worries in the world.
5. If I were a car, I'd be a rusty Pontiac Sunbird.
That was my first car, so I identify with it. It's who I am. AM radio only, dialed straight in to the Disney channel. That's all me.
6. If I could be a super-villain, I'd be the Joker.
He's always a couple steps ahead of the people he's trying to crush.
7. If I hadn't decided to become an athlete, I would have been a businessman, like a stockbroker.
I have a physical education degree, but I'd want to make money, and there's not much in being a PE teacher, so maybe I'd be the new Wolf of Wall Street.
8. My all-time favorite, "go to" TV show is King of Queens.
If I sit down to watch some TV, and reruns of that are on, that's where the channel stays.
9. My favorite food is the chocolate croissant.
It's fat boy food, so I have to make sure I don't get crazy with those.
10. This might be something you already know, but I'm a big pro-wrestling fan.
I recently took my son and two nephews out to a WWE event and got pictures with some of the wrestlers. I got a little star struck, I won't lie.
So, there you have it, everything you always wanted to know about me, but never knew you wanted to know. Try saying that three times fast.
I'll try and do another one of these soon, but until then, maybe you can answer these same questions in the comments and let me get to know you. I think that's a pretty fair trade.

Saturday, April 23 began bright and early for Q. He was already off and running at 10:00 a.m. when he visited a fundraiser carnival that benefited Ben Franklin Middle School in Daly City. Q helped cook lunch, participated in a tandem potato sack race, and signed autographs.
Q then made his way back home to San Jose for the afternoon. He rode his customized scooter over to the KKSF Earth Day San Jose celebration at Plaza de Cesar Chavez. Q felt right at home on stage with local jazz musician Ric Alexander.
After his set was over, Q hopped back on his scooter and ventured over to the Discovery Museum's Discovery Meadow to appear at the City of San Jose's 17th annual Children's Faire. Q hung out with kids at the event, signed autographs, and took pictures with families in attendance.
After such a fun-filled but busy day, Q made his last stop at Spartan Stadium that night. He not only got to watch the Earthquakes defeat the Kansas City Wizards 3-2, but he was able to celebrate his first birthday with friends at halftime. Along with his mascot buddies from Pioneer High School, CSU East Bay, and San Jose State, Q exchanged gifts and played musical chairs with three lucky young contestants chosen from the audience at Spartan Stadium. What a day for the Earthquakes mascot extraordinaire.back to recent appearances >

Edit this title from the Fast Facts Section
After reading the latest Edgar filing by Tara Minerals, I have taken a stab at extrapolating potential revenues from the Don Ramon production/
First caveats- all calculations are subject to the spot prices of the minerals being produced. Thus the spot prices of copper, Zink, lead, silver and gold and all other minerals in the production will affect the net return of revenue. I am using conservative [under present spot prices] in my calculations-which hopefully will underestimate my final results. As well I am only including the Don Ramón group of ore body's production. Tara minerals have multiple other potential mineral ore bodies that hopefully will contribute both to the production possible and to the life of the area.
As well we know there is a major gold property on the other side of the river that is not being used in production projections although a new gold body near the Don Ramon mill IS available.
Then there is always Murphy's Law that can have stoppage in production.
My calculations are based on 3 lines of separation after crushing as delineated in the Edgar filing. Right now they apparently have 2 lines in operation with the third due in a month or so. Again I am basing production on having 9 production crews [i.e. 24 hours a day production from the 3 lines] for 25 days a month. The 25 days are based on down time to clean and refresh the equipment and employee holiday time.
There are surely other matters that can effect production but apparently the demand for the final product is NOT of concern as Chinese interests are interested in all production available.
The initial months, of course will be at a lower level but within 3 months fill production should be achieved,
I also give no value to Picachio and other unexplored but possible acquisitions by the company .Plus the surprised introduction of a possible Fertilizer project.
In spite of the above, my projections are my own calculations so take them or leave them-time alone will prove how close I come.
Each line will be capable of processing 120 tons a day X 25 days a month = 300 tons per month X 3 lines = 9000 tons per month.
If all lines are dedicated to all minerals except gold I postulate a NET PROFI per month [after all expenses paid] of $1 million dollars {us] a month.
If one of the lines is dedicated to gold production alone, my estimate is that line would produce a profit of $590,000.00us per month. Again, assuming the gold ore can be achieved at the levels present assays continue to be achieved.
For Tara Minerals there are approx 40 million shares outstanding.
Tara Gold holds an 82% interest in Tara Minerals. Tara gold has over 100 million shares outstanding.
Depending on the multiple you place on the share value will determine where the shares will eventually trade.
Hope the above wakens investors up and interested in any legit comments /criticisms.

At a Mexican roadblock, a U.S. Embassy SUV is stopped at gunpoint, three of its passengers murdered, and a fourth kidnapped. Everything points to the drug cartels, especially when the kidnappers say they will return the hostage if a cartel kingpin is released from U.S. federal prison.
But when word gets to Charley Castillo and his group of "retired" spies and special operators, they have their doubts. Fresh from having enraged the Kremlin by staging a covert raid in Venezuela that nabbed not only high-value Russian agents but also a highly prized secret Russian aircraft, they start connecting the dots. They believe that it's a diversion. That the murders and kidnapping were ordered by none other than Vladimir Putin himself to lure Castillo and company to their deaths. And the thing of it is, even knowing that may not save them. Powerful forces in the U.S. government are arrayed against them as well, and if one side doesn't get them... the other side will.
Filled with Griffin's trademark rich characters and cutting-edge drama, this is another exceptional novel in an exceptional series.
Prolong the suspense: listen to another Presidential Agent thriller.
©2011 W.E.B. Griffin, William Butterworth IV (P)2011 Brilliance Audio, Inc.
"Frequent Listener"
Well, I was glad to hear that Mr. Hill was back on board with this novel, however I'm afraid even his talents couldn't save it. Yes, I still liked the characters and the banter, however the story line was weak and didn't draw me in like the first books did. This one seemed like an afterthought and didn't bring much to a conclusion. In addition, the events in this book seemed unplausable, yes I know it is fiction, but normally Mr. Griffin weaves a lot more detail that is based in fact to the story. This book, especially the quick departure of the ex-president and the lunacy of the new president did not make for a believable story in my eyes, fiction or not.
Hope there is another book, take a little more time Mr. Griffin and weave a better tale that closes out the story lines on all the characters, this one didn't do it for me.
"Mostly review of recent prior books - weak story"
More action and better twists. Less rehash trying to make all readers/listeners get up to speed on past books.
Narrator was good, but not great
The endless flashbacks to prior books
"How to say nothing in 10 Hours or Less"
I have been an big fan of this series and character in the past years. What Happened? Nothing but lists of names every five minutes, followed by another list of names? WEB must have been under pressure by the publisher to crank something out. There were two predominant story lines as they were carried through the book, and as they related to the plot. I know there is another book ,but at the end both story threads, DROPPED COLD. What was that? There was this huge build up and "DONE" The end. Am I supposed to be intrigued to get the next book? I've followed these stories for years, I don't need a poorly written cliff hanger to push another read. DISAPPOINTED. Sorry, It will be a long time before I order another.. My loss as well.
I have listened to many of Mr. Griffin' books & enjoyed about 95% of them...! However I found this dull & wearisome!
Mostly the conversations that the reader (I think) had trouble with remembering the voices of the characters!
Well any way I will still look forward to W.E.B.'s adventures ... but a bit more causes in my selection
"Covert Warriors"
Dick Hill does a great job narrating the book. Since Griffin has been writing with his son the story seems a bit ragged. I hope as they work together the son learns more from his father and can carry the writing forward. There was a lot of repetition of the prior books of the series which interfered with the current story. The story built up with lots of suspense then the ending was a total let down. At first I thought there was an error in the downloading of the book, it seemed as if a whole section of the ending was missing. I would have liked a lot more detail for the ending. Maybe it will be filled in with the next book of the series. I love the series and will keep listening and hope they improve writing together.
"Story is not fully developed - kind of abridged??"
This is book 7 - the people and their characters are developed. This story is kind of half baked. Not quite done. Book is ~13hrs long and should have been 25+ to take this to the level it should have been.
None... None of the story line is as complete as it should be. Dick Hill done his usual great job with the telling of the story, it's just not complete.
"Always Great Stuff"
I've listened to about 400 books in the last 3 years. This whole series of the Presidential Agent is at least in the top two books in a series. Every booki in this series is relevant and the characters have developed so well since the beginning book. I love every one of them.
I listen to too many books to make a comparison against one. Well developed characters and great suspense and action and story lines. I already await the next one.
Dick Hill is one of the best and particularly well suited to this series. Love his portral of all of the main characters but Charlie and Fernando are probably my favorites. The previous book in this series was not read by Dick Hill and it totally killed it for me and many others. Dick Hill
Lots of suspense and there is always some sarcastic humor in this series. Love every minute of it.
I just hate waiting for a year or more for the next one. Griffin is involved in so many series, which are all good, but this series has always been my favorite
"Glad Hill is narrating again"
This is better than The Outlaws, both in terms of story and narrator. Although you can really hear the influence of Griffin's son Butterworth. He is just not as good a writer. Some of Hill's voices changed but that is to be expected by the 7th book in the series. But, previously unknown character relationships, i.e. the mutual dislike of McNabb and Naylor, are disturbing and not necessary for story development.
All in all worth the listen and I hope that the next in the series, almost certainly written mostly by the son will be more in the style of a younger WEB Griffin. You get the impression Butterworth needs to read his dad's books more carefully in the future before writing a sequel.
"Mildly entertaining story for the series"
I wait for the new WEB Griffin books just to stay up on the series I like. While these are good story lines, they are predictable just like his other series. This story is ok. Just that OK. I do like the characters somewhat.Where is Sergeant Major Jack Davidson now?There is a good adjunct plot deviation with
I am extremely tired of the ongoing fight between Pevsner & Charlie over who is tsar.Can we move on?The SVR/Putin line is getting old. Get the SOF Chain of Command straight. Hire somebody to give you advice. This mistake is extremely aggravating.The editing is getting poor. I still don't get the conflict between Naylor VS McNabb/Charley.
Hill does ok.I really wish he used a different inflection for Vic D'Alesandro.
Yes, don't buy another one until I get through with my aggravation.
Only buy this if you are keeping up with the series.

Last year the MBC's Park Myung Soo made up a funny song about the summer dish and since then I have been singing it in my head.
Near my house is a Naengmyeon restaurant, which we sometimes have delivered to us but other times we do go there and order.
First we were served a small bowl of a warm broth, which I think is meant to help digestion.
What you are seeing here is a large bowl filled with an icy broth-water. In the center are the noodles, there is a hard boiled egg, a sliced pear and cucumbers for garnish. Also there are some pickled radish inside.
What you do when you get your bowl of Mul Naengmyeon is you first stir it up and cut the noodles if you feel it is necessary.Mul naengmyeon originates from Pyongyang.[2] Pyongyang naengmyeon is mainly made from buckwheat and the broth of beef or pheasant. It also uses dongchimi broth or a mixture of it, while adding the sliced pieces of the radish to the dish. Vinegar, spicy mustard and sugar is added according to taste before eating. Because the noodles are made mostly from buckwheat, they have a less chewy texture so they rarely need to be cut before consumption.
Then it is ready to eat! I was told to eat the egg first but you can eat it as you go. I like to save the pear slice till the end. A really cool and not too spicy treat to have during the summer time. Also I think that not every Naengmyeon place makes it exactly the same way so it is another fun food to discover.

Norm Leppla
Integrated Pest Management, or IPM, is a long-standing, science-based decision-making process that identifies and reduces risks from pests and pest management strategies. It coordinates information on pest biology, the environment, and availabletechnology to preventunacceptable levels of pest damage by the most economical means, while posing the least risk to people, property, resources, and the environment. IPM provides an effective strategy for managing pests from developed agricultural, residential, and public areas to wild lands. IPM provides an effective, all encompassing, sustainable approach to protect natural resources, crops, animals and people from pests. IPM recommendations are frequently recognized as Best Management Practices (BMP's) to manage weeds, disease and insects for production of food and fiber (USDA National Road Map for Integrated Pest Management).

Actor Ajith's upcoming film Billa-2 may not be releasing on 1st May (the actor's birthday) and might just get postponed by a couple of weeks due to 'technical' reasons, it is informed. Ajith is presently in the final stages of shooting of his Billa-2, a sequel to his highly successful Billa (2007) which was the remake of a super-hit Rajini film of the same titled in the early eighties.
The delay is attributed to the recent strike by FEFSI employees and other film-related bodies which went on for close to a month. The shoot of many films were affected due to the strike. Producer Khetarpal has informed that they are planning to release the film in the second fortnight of May.
Directed by Chakri Toleti (of Unnaipol Oruvan fame), the film is a sequel to Billa but is actually a script where the story goes back in time to trace the origin of the dreaded don Billa to find out what made him so. The audio-launch of the film, which has music by Ajith's favourite Yuvan Shankar Raja, is likely to be held on 25th April.

Can you not transfer the files from your old phone to your PC & then to the new phone? I did that when I changed my Sharp phone, using a data lead. I think Nokia's allow this. Obviously you need the appropriate software - mind came on a CD with the data lead.
Bluetooth another possibility if your 'pooter's Bluetooth enabled.

The Rothschild's don't run that central banking system yet.
We just normalized relations with Cuba which is the other major hold out. How long will it be before they come under the fold? Until we understand this paper trail and do something about it things will continue to deteriorate down the worm hole.

North Korea too.
Yes, North Korea is the other hold out. Why are we ramping up confrontation with them? HMMMM?
World war 3, new world order and part of Marshal law have already started.
I recommend if it gets too big, crouch down put your head between your legs and kiss your as* goodbye. Or jail these greedy bastards.
I just know where North Korea is very beautiful, they have a distinctive culture. Their culture has been preserved and flourished. eg ensemble festival in North Korea was amazing, this is the largest outdoor festival in the world.
Do you live in North Korea or visited.?
There Nuclear aspirations and the constant human rights violations. Also, firing missiles and threatening the U.S.
Does the US have nuclear weapons?
Are there human rights violations taking place there?
Why do you think America has the right to invade any country it doesn't agree with?
Why would you want to start another unwinnable war?
Why is this thread not in the topical forums?
Questions, questions.
Invasion won't be necessary. His appetite will reach the point where he would be willing to trade nukes for cases of Twinkies.
Is there a possibility that two North Koreans are asking themselves right now about the "United States issue" and "their nuclear aspirations"??
North Korea is an enigma. With so many human rights violations, such an inhumanely run society, you would think that the people of that country would stand up against it.
But, North Korea is not the first country to hate us while aspiring to nuclear weapons and it won't be the last. There is not sufficient provocation to warrant a hostile military response by us. As long as all he does is rattle his sabers then he has that right.
Little to be known there is an asian networks of millions who do support secretly Northern Korea from the new world order, thank goodness as the uniiverse provides.
LOL. So, the fact that you believe there are those who support them that negates any type of responsibility for human rights violations. Sure, you'll say other countries are guilty also but please show me a first world nation which can be accused of the same things they can. People starving in prison camps because the 'gossiped' about a supreme leader? Complete refusal to allow freedom of the press?
Please, learn to put things into perspective.
No body is suppose to have nuclear weapons until they are a close friends with America.
New flash, just about all other countries voted America as the top terrorist nation in the World. When America weaken by the US dollars watch what happens next.
China has close relationship with North Korea, they only pretend to disapprove of their weapons. Or America would stomp all over them.
Why dose America have 25℅ of the world's prisoners in their jails. Much over Cannabis/hemp that India and China approved of unwritten.
Uh, duh. Would you actively support a neighbor's right to own a nuclear weapon if you knew that neighbor didn't like you and consistently called for your demise? If yes, even if your daughter lived in the house with you?
Get realistic. First world democracies aren't looked on as the same way as terrorist countries. And we will certainly look on what we perceive as our enemies in a different way than our friends.
News flash. You have consistently made statements so lacking in truth and completely void of intelligent thought that no one is going to believe this unless you can provide some proof. But, please be aware that if these 'all other countries' are Syria, Iran, Iraq, Yemen or that type then you have sent your credibility down another notch.
Okee dokee.
Not surprised at the first sentence. LOL.LOL. LOL. at the second. Could you explain what you mean by stomp all over them? Would there be some reason that, if we want to stomp all over China for having a secret friendship with North Korea that we wouldn't have already stomped all over North Korea?
Do you bother to think prior to making these ridiculous claims?
Your weak grasp of English causes your meaning to elude me. If you are saying most of our prisoners are incarcerated over cannabis or hemp but since India and China do not have laws against this they have no one in prison for it; I'd say you answered your own question.
Do I approve the legalization of marijuana? Maybe not but I do support the decriminalization of it; if that makes sense.
War and nuclear weapons should be banned.
I don't claim to even be a good writer off of this dam cell phone. Yet, do speak other languages and spend the vast majority of my time as profession Artist/historians/builder and do know I'm contributing to society. I got a better chance of finding big foot than finding an honest American politicians with follow through on solutions.
If you can claim any world class level of any kind, like athletics/ traveler/artist like I can , then please refrain from calling void of intelligence.
Unless you have been to China, Russia or middle East several times. Why tell me about it from weak words rather than from experiences.
I assume you are responding to me. I agree that nuclear weapons and war should be banned. I speak other languages also. Have traveled through other countries around the world also. You can claim something, but it is simply a claim that cannot be verified. I'm afraid I've never heard of Castlepoloma other than here on Hub Pages. So, don't think that you get to insist that you are somehow above another because of an unverifiable claim. And, to be quite frank, even if your claim could be verified your request does not make any sense.
When I perceive your arguments to be void of facts, truth or intelligence I may choose to comment. I do have that right.
Can not reveal my name because of my position. So lets try to make sense out of secrets societies.
From my work I've met hundreds of politicians and famous people, yet don't feel above or below anyone, not even you, live and learn.
We both agree banning war and nukes Is a good plan. Why is there a gun for every person in America. It's mainly not for dear or criminals because you got three times greater chance of killing yourself ( according to NRA facts). Americans are most afraid of their own Government tyranny. Why is the largest corporationism group employed in the World are US Justice system and US military complex.
Then ask yourself, why are American citizens and most everyone in the world terrorized of there American military base policing the world with nukes or big guns in 160 countries. Most people are in prison over drugs another disgraceful way to police the world.
Now go back to why American citizens have 10 times the gun power than their own Government and military. Americans new world order is run more by fear than love in this world. The BRICS needs to balance this fear by action of dumping US dollars in order to stop this dark empire from owning them. Backed up with equal military fear.
Live and learn, I'm still waiting for lessons in my lack of truth and void of intelligence.
LOL. Read your posts. Then think about them. That should do the trick.
It"s all just too deep for you, so you give a childish response.
Trust your experiences, not so much your hearsay.

609: It's Working Out Very Nicely
Feb 3, 2017
This week we document what happened when the President's executive order went into effect temporarily banning travel from seven countries, and we talk about the way it was implemented. A major policy change thrown into the world like a fastball with no warning. It's hard not to ask: "What just happened? What was that all about?"
- Cut ThisClip and share your favorite moments
- There is one line in the executive order that justifies its existence. It's the second sentence in section 1. Nancy Updike scrutinizes this line of reasoning. (9 minutes)Song:

The Truth About 'No-Kill' Shelters
I met a very nice lady from a local animal shelter the other day. I don't recall specifically which shelter it was, but that's really not important anyway. I observed her talking to others in the room about the shelter she represented, and she made it a point to mention, again and again, that hers was a "no-kill" shelter.
This elicited the usual oohs and ahhs from the crowd, as if shelters that don't put unwanted animals down are somehow so superior to shelters that do.
But the term "no kill" is a lot like the term "pro life." It distorts and misrepresents the reality of the situation. Someone who is "pro-choice" doesn't automatically think abortions are a great idea; they merely believe that couples should have the right to choose what is best for them. A shelter that is not "no kill" is not on some cruel mission to destroy as many animals as it can.
Why aren't all shelters "no kill?" It's simple: that wouldn't be physically possible. There are not enough homes for the animals that have already been born, not counting the thousands that will be born tomorrow, and the day after that, and the day after that….
So then that leaves an interesting question: how does a "no kill" shelter seem to avoid this otherwise inescapable futility of too many animals for too few homes? Also simple: those shelters only accept animals that they feel confident that they can place with families. In other words, if they find a sweet little cocker spaniel in a pound, they'll take it and find it a home. If the same shelter sees a pit bull that looks like it could be tough — whether it is or not — they might just leave it there in the pound. The pit bull gets put down in the pound because no one will take it, the cocker spaniel gets placed, and the shelter gets the credit as being a "no kill" facility, even though their failure to help the pit bull contributed to its euthanasia.
Seems a little unfair, doesn't it? It's like the child who has been told to always clean his plate promising to eat every morsel he takes, then only choosing a little of the foods he knows he likes. Technically, yes, he did eat every bite. But he left a lot behind. And he isn't all that interested in what happens to it as long as he takes care of his own plate.
When I volunteered with a shelter in Richmond, I didn't mention the "no kill" aspect, because I knew it was bogus. I'm happy to say that the shelter I worked with didn't make a big deal about it, either. They were focused on the animals, not patting themselves on the back, which is what it's supposed to be all about.
To be fair, there is one good aspect about a "no kill" shelter: if they take an animal they believe they can find a home for, and they are unable to do so, they are committed to keeping that animal for its natural life, either in foster homes, through adoption by kind-hearted staff members, or by keeping the pet as a "shelter mascot" to help newcomers adjust to the facility. That alone does give them an extra point in my book when compared to a typical pound that routinely euthanizes the animals they can't place. But they still don't get full credit for being 100% humanitarian given their selection process.
I want to be clear here: I am not trying to badmouth shelters who claim to be "no kill" facilities. I just point out that there are lots of good, caring people working at both kinds of shelters. People who are genuinely interested in finding homes for as many dogs, cats, puppies, and kittens as possible. If you're looking for a good pet, all I'm saying is that you shouldn't let that title decide whether a shelter in question is one you'll consider working with.
And remember to have your pets spayed or neutered. It will help shelters by not having more unwanted animals to deal with.
4 Comments
The legal definition of "No Kill" means that the facility does not euthanize for space. Period. "No Kill" facilities can and do euthanize animals. If the animal gets too sick or injured to affordably treat or becomes too unstable/aggressive to be adopted without liability, they can legally euthanize, without jeopardizing their "No Kill" status. "No Kill" shelters can and do refuse people who show up with animals they deem unadoptable. "No Kill" shelters can and do refuse to take back animals they have adopted out. So, where do these people go with their animals when "No Kill" facilities refuse them? To an "Open Door" shelter. It does not matter whether you throw your support behind a "No Kill" or "Open Door" shelter. Just know that euthansia does occur at both.
I got my cat from a no-kill shelter when he was a kitten, and it was a horrible place. They had an entire converted barn just full of cats. They all had fleas (and as I learned when I took him to the vet, an interesting assortment of worms as well). And the woman offered me a box that had very recently held dead puppies to transport my baby home.
If I had to choose between knowing my pet *might* get put down or knowing that it was going to live in that kind of environment, I don't think I could choose either.
I'm betting though that most shelters aren't like the one I visited. Luckily, I haven't needed to find one since.
This is an important point to make. The people you are talking about are probably just another local shelter, but the situation is the same all the way up to major national groups like PETA. The truth is, the Emperor is wearing no clothes, and it needs to be pointed out regularly. A community group running a "no kill" shelter is no different that the government promoting corn based fuels. It sounds good in a campaign speech, but it really doesn't accomplish much, and in fact contributes to the greater problem.

FOXsports.com senior baseball writer Ken Rosenthal reported a few minutes ago that Andy MacPhail will not return as the Orioles' president of baseball operations.
A source tonight confirmed that information to MASNsports.com's Roch Kubatko.
Rosenthal filed a report via Twitter that read: "Sources: MacPhail out as #Orioles press of bb ops. Will not return in any capacity. Showalter expected to remain mgr; situation fluid."
The Orioles have not released any information on this situation and attempts to reach MacPhail tonight have so far been unsuccessful.
Steve's take: A few very quick thoughts on MacPhail even before this news has become official, even thought it has been confirmed.
On the plus side, MacPhail pulled off several solid trades, going back to the deals that sent Erik Bedard and Miguel Tejada from Baltimore and to include the past season and the acquisitions of J.J. Hardy and Mark Reynolds. Not only did MacPhail get Hardy for two minor league pitchers, but he signed him to a new contract as well.
He was the president of baseball operations who brought Buck Showalter to Baltimore and he led the move to the new and plush spring home in Sarasota. He also leaves the organization with payroll flexibility beyond this year with not many players under contract going forward.
On the down side, he was not able to get the club out of the AL East cellar and the Orioles trail many teams in the industry in their international signings. The farm system was ranked much higher in recent years than it is now and there were no Orioles listed among the top 20 prospects in the Double-A Eastern League or Triple-A International League this week by Baseball America.
In his four full seasons as O's president, starting in 2008, the club went 267-380 for a .413 winning percentage.
MacPhail is a true pro and gentleman, who always represented Baltimore and the organization with a lot of class. I appreciate the time he gave me on several occasions for one-on-one interviews and he never shied away from any question.

Review of "Specsavers Opticians (Shop)"
"Specsavers Altrincham terrible service"
I requested an eye test using the online booking 4 days before my appointment and then took the day off work for the appointment, they were supposed to call me back after 2 days, but nothing, so I called them the day before the supposed appointment and the guy on the phone was rude and un-accommodating, no appointments on that day, he suggested that I must have made a mistake, no appointments at all for a week... very unhelpful, so I advised my family and friends to move to vision express, I called them up and they managed to fit me in, no problem.. there is no feedback on the Specsavers site to complain about the booking system, there are even testimonials on their site that are only positive and managed by themselves.. seems odd to me that they take no responsibility for their service or answer for their mistakes, very poor, avoid if possibleWayne .
