We are entering upon a course of study wherein the entire tendency will be to throw the student back upon himself, and thus upon that larger self which has only, in most cases, made its presence felt at rare and highly emotional intervals. When the self is known and not simply felt and, when the realisation is mental as well as sensory, then truly can the aspirant be prepared for initiation.
I would like to point out that I am basing my words upon certain basic assumptions, which for the sake of clarity, I want briefly to state.
Firstly, that the student is sincere in his aspiration, and is determined to go forward no matter what may be the reaction of and upon the lower self. Only those who can clearly differentiate between the two aspects of their nature, the real self and the illusory self, can work intelligently . . . (4 – 53),
Secondly, I am acting upon the assumption that all have lived long enough and battled sufficiently with deterrent forces of life, to have enabled them to develop a fairly true sense of values. . . . They are not to be kept back by any happenings to the personality or by the pressure of time and circumstance, by age or physical disability. They have wisely learnt that enthusiastic rushing forward, and a violent energetic progress has its drawbacks, and that a steady, regular, persistent endeavour will carry them further in the long run. Spasmodic spurts of effort and temporary pressure peter out into disappointment and a weighty sense of failure . . .
Thirdly, I assume that those who set themselves seriously to benefit by the instructions in this book, are prepared to carry out the simple requirements, to read what is written thoughtfully, to attempt to organise their minds, and adhere to their meditation work. The organising of the mind is an all-day affair, and the application of the mind to the thing in hand throughout the daily avocations, is the best way to make study and meditation periods fruitful, and bring about fitness for the vocation of the disciple.
With these assumptions clearly understood, my words are for those who are seeking to measure up to the need for trained servers. I say not, you note, those who measure up. Intention and effort are considered by us of prime importance, and are the two main requisites for all disciples, initiates and Masters, plus the power of persistence. (4 – 54). [Page 2]
(1) We have before us in this study, much food for thought. The subjects touched upon are deep, difficult to understand, and hard to grasp. Careful reading, however, quiet reflection, and a practical application of the sensed truth, and of the intuited idea, will gradually bring enlightenment and lead to acquiescence in the techniques of the soul, and the appropriation of the teaching. (15 – 289).
(2) It is not material whether the reader receive the message of these pages as a spiritual appeal in an idealistic setting, a presentation of alleged facts, or a theory evolved by one student and presented for the consideration of fellow students. To each it is offered for whatever of inner response it may evoke, for whatever of inspiration and of light it may bring.
In these days of the shattering of old form and the building of the new, adaptability is needed. We must avert the danger of crystallisation, through pliability and expansion. The "old order changeth", but primarily it is a change of dimension and aspect, and not of material or of foundation. The fundamentals have always been true. To each generation is given the part of conserving the essential features of the old and beloved form, but also of wisely expanding and enriching it. Each cycle must add the gain of further research and scientific endeavour, and subtract that which is worn out and of no value. Each age must build in the product and triumphs of its period, and abstract the accretions of the past that would dim and blur the outline. Above all, to each generation is given the joy of demonstrating the strength of the old foundations, and the opportunity to build upon these foundations a structure that will meet the needs of the inner evolving life. (1 – 2).
(3) Every religious faith holds out the promise that those who seek with earnestness shall find that which they are seeking; let us, therefore, seek. If by our search we find that all these statements are but visionary dreams, and profit not at all, leading us only into darkness, time will nevertheless not have been lost, for we shall have ascertained where not to look. If by our search, on the other hand, corroboration comes little by little, and the light shines ever more clearly, let us persist until that day dawns when the light which shineth in darkness will have illuminated the heart and the brain, and the seeker will awaken to the realisation that the whole trend of evolution has been to bring him this expansion of consciousness and this illumination, and that the attainment of the initiatory process, and the entrance into the fifth kingdom is no wild chimera or phantasm, but an [Page 3] established fact in the consciousness. This each man must ascertain for himself. Each soul … must find out within himself, remembering ever that the Kingdom of God is within, and that only those facts which are realised within the individual consciousness as truths are of any value. In the meantime, that which many know, and have ascertained within themselves to be truths of an incontrovertible nature for them, may be stated; to the intelligent reader will then arise the opportunity and the responsibility of ascertaining for himself their falsity or truth. .(1 – 26/7).
(4) Goodness and altruism grow out of realisation and service, and holiness of character is the outcome of those expansions of consciousness which a man brings about within himself through strenuous effort and endeavour. (1 – 93).
(5) The moment a man becomes consciously powerful on the mental plane, his power for good is a hundredfold increased. (1 – 172).
(6) In the use of words comes limitation, and a clouding of the idea; words literally veil or hide thoughts, detract from their clarity, and confuse them by expression. (3 – 150).
(7) The earth is an organism within a greater one, and this fact needs wider recognition. The sons of men upon this planet so often view the whole system as if the earth were in the position of the sun, the centre of the solar organism. (3 – 177).
(8) Most men do not as yet distinguish with accuracy between themselves as the thinker, persistent in time and space, and the vehicle through which they think, which is ephemeral and transient. (3 – 419).
(9) The problem of labour and capital has its roots in the subjective distinction between "equipped and unequipped" Egos, between those units of the human family on earth who have passed out of the Hall of Ignorance, and those who are yet groping in its dark and gloomy corridors. (3 – 826).
(10) If man can be brought to a realisation of the nature of his own being and of his constitution, and can be led to comprehend the rationale of that which can be seen occurring, and if the thinkers of the race can be shown the risks incident upon present happenings in the deva evolution, much danger may be averted. Hence the decision to extend the scope of this book to include more detailed information anent the deva evolution. (Footnote 3 – 908).
(11) No man is ever put into circumstances which are insurmountable, once he has reached the point where he has intelligently put himself on the side of evolution, or of God. Prior to that he may, and will, be driven by [Page 4] gales of circumstance; the press of group and racial karma will force him into situations necessary for the process of awakening him to his own innate possibilities. Once he becomes the conscious builder himself, seeking to control the forces and builders of his lower nature, and to construct the Temple of Solomon, then he is no longer subject to the earlier conditions. He becomes a ruler, a builder, and a transmitter, until the time comes when he is one with the solar Angels, and the work of human evolution is accomplished. (3 – 946).
(12) It takes a seer of vast wisdom and experience to state exactly the stage at which any particular unit of the human family may be. He that is wise always refrains from assertion until he knows. (3 – 968).
(13) Only he who is free can control and utilise those who are prisoners. (3 – 1023).
(14) Just as it is not possible for a man in an early incarnation to conceive of the effects of evolution upon him and to realise the nature of the man upon the Path, so it is not possible for even great systemic existences to conceive (except in the broadest and most general terms) of the nature of the solar Logos, and of the effect evolution will have on Him. (3 – 1152).
(15) Those who see a vision that is withheld from those lacking the necessary equipment for its apprehension, are regarded as fanciful, and unreliable. When many see the vision, its possibility is admitted, but when humanity itself has the awakened and open eye, the vision is no longer emphasised, but a fact is stated and a law enunciated. Such has been the history of the past and such will be the process in the future. (4 – 16).
(16) Every step of the way has to be carved out by a man himself, and there is no short or easy road out of darkness into light. (4 – 60).
(17) The whole secret of success in treading the occult path, depends upon an attitude of mind; when the attitude is one of concrete materialism, of concentration upon form, and a desire for the things of the present moment, little progress can be made in apprehending the higher esoteric truth. (4 – 84).
(18) Seek to equip your instrument, learn to function in quietness, fulfill your obligations and do your duty, develop restraint of speech and that calm poise that comes from an unselfish life motive, and forget the selfish satisfaction that might well up in the heart when recognition of faithfulness comes from the watching Hierarchy. (4 – 129).
(19) Nothing in heaven or hell, on earth or elsewhere, can prevent the progress of the man who has awakened to the illusion, who has glimpsed [Page 5] the reality beyond the glamour of the astral plane, and who has heard, even if only once, the clarion call of his own soul. (4 – 223).
(20) The outcome of good is inevitable. It is, however, a question of a slow or a rapid realisation and liberation from the great world illusion, and to this end every aspirant is begged to work strenuously and to lend his aid. Every man who liberates himself, who sees clearly, and who releases himself from the glamour of illusion, aids in the Great Work. (4 – 224).
(21) That the inner vision may be ours, the eye see clearly the glory of the Lord, and the voice speak only in benediction, and the hands be used only in helpfulness, may well be the prayer of each of us. (4 – 253).
(22) In an esoteric sense, all in the future will become lighter, more rarified and more etherealised. (4 – 390).
(23) Those who know and who sense the inner guiding hand of the Hierarchy, are aware that the heart of humanity is sound, and that out of the present chaos, and perhaps largely because of it, there will emerge those competent to deal with the situation and adequate to the task of unification and synthesis. (4 – 409).
(24) There is never anything static in the creative process; energy which is flowing forth in the pulsation of the one Life, and its rhythmic and cyclic activity – never ending and never resting – must be somewhere utilised, and must find its way in some direction, often (when man fails in his duty) with catastrophic results. (4 – 461).
(25) These intriguing pieces of information, which I at times convey, and which some of the students seem to regard as of vital importance, are of far less importance than the injunction to live kindly, speak words of gentleness and of wisdom, and practice self-forgetfulness. (4 – 466).
(26) Each field of awareness in its boundaries constitute a prison, and ... the objective of all work of liberation, is to release the consciousness, and expand its field of contacts. Where there are boundaries of any kind, where a field of influence is circumscribed, and where the radius of contact is limited, there you have a prison. Ponder on this statement for it holds much of truth. (4 – 535).
(27) Persist. Failure never prevents success. Difficulties develop the strength of the soul. The secret of success is ever to stand steady and to be impersonal. (4 – 559).
(28) All vaunted freedom or vaunted control, is but the temporary reaction of a humanity which is swept by ideas, controlled by ideals, impulsed by selfishness, impregnated by hates, and yet all the time is struggling to express the higher and better qualities, and to free itself from the thralldom [Page 6] of ancient evil, the slavery of ancient codes, and the curse of ancient habits of thought and living. It is what is happening behind the scenes of mankind as a whole which is of moment; it is the unfoldment of the human consciousness which counts with the Hierarchy. (9 – 25).
(29) The world problem is essentially a religious problem, and behind all strife in every department of world thought today is to be found the religious element. (9 – 35).
(30) The great and fundamental law that "energy follows thought", always holds good, and one of the conditions which is inducing the present stress and strain, is due to the fact that so many millions of people are beginning to think. (9 – 35).
(31) Peace will be the result of understanding and sharing, and not the origin of them, as the pacifists so often imply. (9 – 98).
(32) The peoples of the world are entering the wilderness experience, and will find in the wilderness how little is required for full living, true experience, and real happiness . . . Freedom from material things carries with it its own beauty and reward, its own joy and glory. Thus he is liberated to live the life of the mind.
The selfishness of the people who are desirous of being unselfish, is great. (10 – 75/6).
(33) "All men are equal" ... It is indeed a statement of fact, but when no allowance is
made for the equally important ideas of evolution, of racial attributes, and of national and religious characteristics, then the basic idea receives only limited application. (10 – 132).
(34) The cause of all sorrow and woes is desire – desire for that which is material. ... "No man liveth unto himself", and no nation either, and ... the goal of all human effort is loving understanding, prompted by a love for the whole. (10 – 166).
(35) As we have been told, there are sixty thousand million units of consciousness, or spirits in the evolving human hierarchy. (2 – 34).
(36) It takes a wise disciple always to discriminate between the voice of his real Teacher, and the false whispers of the masquerading one. (2 – 132).
(37) When the pupil recognises practically all the time, that he is not his vehicles, but is indeed the divine Dweller within them, then certain things will be imparted to him. (2 – 157).
(38) Two-thirds of humanity ... will stand upon the Path at the close of this age, and with that, one-third will be held over for later unfoldment. (14 – xviii).[Page 7]
(39) The majority of true esotericists are found outside, and not within, the bulk of the schools which call themselves esoteric. (14 – 183).
(40) In the West, a man has legally one wife, but through his promiscuity and his so-called "romantic" adventures, he really has as many as an African chieftain; and today, women are little better. (14 – 274).
(41) Man stands midway between heaven and earth, with his feet deep in the mud of material life, and his head in heaven. In the majority of cases his eyes are closed, and he sees not the beauty of the heavenly vision or they are open, but fixed upon the mud and slime with which his feet are covered. But when his open eyes are lifted for a brief moment, and see the world of reality, and of spiritual values, then the torn and distracted life of the aspirant begins. (14 – 312).
(42) One of the most difficult things with which the Masters are today confronted, is to prove to man that the old and recognised values, and the tangible world of phenomena (emotional and physical), must be relegated to their right place in the background of man's consciousness, and that the intangible realities, and the world of ideas and causes must be, for him, in the immediate future, the main centre of attraction. When man grasps this, and lives by this knowledge, then the glamour which now holds the world will disappear. (14 – 341).
(43) The standard of happenings varies in importance according to the angle of vision, and what (from the angle of our Earth's unfoldment in consciousness) may be a factor of prime importance, and of determining value, may (from the angle of the universe) be of trifling moment. The affairs of an individual are, to him, of momentous import; to humanity as a whole, they are of small concern. It all depends upon which unit holds the centre of the stage in the drama of life, and around which central factor the happenings, trivial or important, pursue their cyclic way. (14 – 395).
(44) A mystery only remains a mystery when ignorance and unbelief exist. There is no mystery where there is knowledge and faith. (15 – 280).
(45) Power selfishly used, exhausts its user, and evokes a display of power antagonistic to him; he is thereby destroyed, because he has destroyed. (15 – 353).
(46) Every step forward in evolution and, therefore, towards the spiritual goal, is always at a cost, and through the relinquishing of that which has hitherto been held dear. (15 – 582).
(47) Human beings are innately kind, when their minds are not distorted and their vision impaired by the false teaching of any selfish interest, political propaganda, and racial or religious difficulties. (15 – 655).
[Page 8]
(48) Disease and death are essentially conditions inherent in substance; just as long as a man identifies himself with the form aspect, so will he be conditioned by the Law of Dissolution. This law is a fundamental and natural law governing the life of the form in all the kingdoms of nature. When the disciple or initiate is identifying himself with the soul, and when the antahkarana is built by means of the life principle, then the disciple passes out of the control of this universal, natural law, and uses or discards the body at will – at the demand of the spiritual will, or through recognition of the necessities of the Hierarchy or the purposes of Shamballa. (17 – 501).
(49) Release from the threefold form is ever regarded by the spiritual man as the greatest possible good, provided it comes to him under law, as the result of his spiritual destiny and of karmic decision; it must not come as an arbitrary act, or as an escape from life and its consequences upon the physical plane, or as self-imposed. (17 – 661).
(50) The habit of goodness, of right reaction, and of instinctual understanding, is distinctive of the trained initiate. He has no need to remember rules, theories, planes or activities. These are as much an established part of his nature as the instinct of self-preservation is an instinctive part of the equipment of a normal human being. Think this out, and endeavour to build up the right spiritual habits. In this way the Master wastes no time on soul or personal plans. He has the habit – based on divine instinctual memory – of right activity, right understanding, and right purpose. He needs not to recollect. (18 – 66).
(51) Can one take life? I think not. Life IS. Naught in heaven or on earth can touch or affect it. This is a point oft forgotten. Life cannot be taken in the spiritual sense. . . . Life is impregnable; it cannot be taken or destroyed but "passes on" from form to form, form experience to experience, until the perfect will of God is expressed through life. (18 – 125).
(52) The bulk of human beings are still too hungry, too devastated psychically, too bewildered and distressed, and too unsure of their future, their freedom and their security, to be in any condition to listen to Him. (8 – 110).
(53) We are passing through one of the great natural transitional periods at this time. We are laying the foundation for the emergence of a new species of human being – a more highly evolved unit within the human family – hence much of our problem, and much of the present failure to meet the demands of the race, and to measure up to human need for development. (12 – 14).
[Page 9]
(54) Your vision is oft distorted by the pain and suffering to which the form is subjected (either your own or that of others, individually or en masse), so that you do not see clearly the purpose and the urgency of the life within the form. (12 – 111).
(55) Accidents to individuals are the result, usually, of an explosion of force, and these explosions are caused by the hatreds and the unkind thoughts and the critical words of those involved in the accident. (13 – 62).
(56) By holding, man loses; by relinquishing, he gains; by seeking to grasp that which he has, it must and will inevitably disappear. (13 – 83).
(57) Be content with your duty and the immediate service which will lead you a step further upon the way to which you are ordained, and this way you can travel rapidly and with eager feet, or slowly and with lagging steps. (13 – 93).
(58) A brief period of organised effort and, at the end, death, is of more vital usefulness today, than a futile doing of the things a man feels like doing in a leisurely way, and then meandering feebly down the years. (13 – 382).
(59) Good must ultimately triumph, but the Hierarchy does not know what the immediate future holds for humanity, because men determine their own destiny. (5 – 74).
(60) One of the first lessons which a disciple needs to learn, is that where he thinks he is strongest and where he finds the most satisfaction, is very frequently the point of greatest danger and of weakness. (5 – 77).
(61) I would remind you that the life of the disciple is ever a life of risks and of dangers, entered into willingly and deliberately in the cause of spiritual unfoldment, and the service of humanity. (5 – 88).
(62) That which appears is not always that which truly is; that which rends and disrupts the personality life is frequently the agent of release, if rightly apprehended; that which will emerge when the Forces of Light have penetrated the world darkness, will demonstrate the nature of the undying human spirit. (5 – 100).
(63) Go your own way with strength and silence, and do that which your soul demands. Let not the lesser voices of the loved and near deflect you from your progress upon the path of service. You belong now to the world, and not to a handful of your fellowmen. (5 – 140).
(64) The reactions of others are not your responsibility. It is your responsibility to give them strength and detachment. Shoulder not, therefore, responsibilities which are not yours. (5 – 405).
[Page 10]
(65) How seldom do those who have the time and the leisure serve as do those who have no time or leisure. (5 – 543).
(66) Be not in any way discouraged, brother of old, if you find the upward way stiff and hard to climb. You are in good company and are not alone. (5 – 599).
(67) You have much to give, and I would urge you to give it, and in so doing I would also urge you not to become unduly aware of your efficient giving. (5 – 641).
(68) Learn to keep the things that concern yourself to yourself. (5 – 662).
(69) It is effort which counts. The results will be inevitable, and commensurate with the effort. (5 – 727).
(70) The cry of the neophyte is: "Tell me. Tell me. Then I will change. I will accept anything that is said, but tell me." The cry of the disciple is: "Aid the work. Forget yourself. The world needs you." (5 – 737).
(71) Let your horizon be wide, and your humility great. (6 – 3).
(72) To be truly effective, you must cultivate the attitude of being only a clear unobstructed channel, and you must not block that channel with your ideas, your plans and your physical plane activities. (6 – 443).
(73) Are you co-operating with the Plan, or in reality with your own plans? (6 – 448).
(74) At the centre of a great tornado is a point of peace. Thus does the story go. It can be found. And thus it is with all the storms of life. They lead to peace if you are not a leaf. (6 – 627).
(75) Be not afraid of loneliness. The soul that cannot stand alone has naught to give. (6 – 755).
(1) This treatise is, therefore, somewhat abstruse, and quite symbolical. It may appear difficult to comprehend, and it may mean little to some and nothing at all to others. If the disciples of the world are truly struggling, and if they are applying practically the teaching given, as far as in them lies, they will find as time elapses, and their reason and intuition awakens, that such symbolic and abstruse statements become clearer and clearer, serving to convey the intended teaching. When this happens, the Angel of the Presence approaches ever closer, and lights the disciple on his way. The[Page 11]sense of separateness diminishes until, at last, light penetrates the darkness, and the Angel dominates the life. (15 – 48/9).
(2) "Ponder on this." This is my frequent injunction, given because the activity of reflection is a potent means to revelation. (16 – 292).
(3) You might here ask, why I deal here with these abstractions? I would reply, that in your effort to understand and to grasp the truth which lies beyond your reason, (even when regarding it as a hypothesis hereto unproven), you are gradually developing an aspect of your mind which is much needed in the processes of realisation, and which must be called into effective service during initiation. Such an effort is needed, if true understanding is to occur; initiation is the demonstration of intuitive understanding put to practical expression. (16 – 391).
(4) Again, I have to repeat how vast is the subject with which we are dealing, and all these earlier instructions, and the answers which I give to the questions, only serve to show how abstruse the matter is. But if you will have patience and will be willing to learn by absorption more than by analysis, you will later discover that you know much – intuitively and discriminately. (17 – 308).
(5) Students should not be deceived by simplicity, and by the plain, direct statements. There is a tendency to regard esoteric teaching as necessarily abstruse and indirect, requiring always the use of the "esoteric sense" (whatever is meant by that) in order to arrive at understanding. Yet the more advanced the teaching, very frequently the more simply is it expressed. Abstruseness is related to the ignorance of the student – not to the mode of presentation of the teacher. (17 – 629).
(6) Much of what I have said above, will seem meaningless to you . . . but as I have earlier told you, I write for those disciples and initiates who are now coming into incarnation, and who will be in the full flower of their consciousness and service, at the latter end of this century. But the effort you make to understand, will have its effect, even if the brain registers it not. (18 – 34).
(7) The true understanding is, I realise, not possible for you, but much can be gained by your effort to comprehend. (18 – 304).
(8) As you can see, we are venturing into realms far beyond your comprehension; but the effort to grasp the unattainable, and to exercise the mind along the line of abstract thought, is ever of value. (18 – 646).
(9) I am quite aware that what I am here communicating may seem to you the veriest nonsense, and there is, of course, no possible way in which I can prove to you the factual nature of this inter-communicating system, or [Page 12] in which you can check and confirm what I say; hut then, my brothers, you have no way as yet of ascertaining the factual existence of Sanat Kumara, and yet, from the very night of time, His existence has been proclaimed by the Hierarchy, and accepted by millions. Every human being believes a great deal more than he can ever prove, or the validity of which he can establish, (11 – 164).

"If you have anything to celebrate this weekend - I note it is Mothering Sunday tomorrow - then this might hit the spot. Always good value and especially so when it's reduced, this is made with lots of Chardonnay to make a creamy cosseting drink."
Susy Atkins - Stella Magazine, Sunday Telegraph 26/07/2015
"One of my favourite well priced and well-crafted Champagnes, with a lovely balance between fresh chardonnay, richer, red-berry pinot noir, and a yeasty biscuit note."
Anthony Rose - The Independent Magazine 05/12/2015
"When the judging panel I was a member of was asked to select champagne…for last month's Which? tasting of sparklers for Christmas, it was neither Veuve Cliquot nor Moet et Chandon that shone. Tesco's finest* Premier Cru also impressed."
The producer, Union Champagne in Avize, is the largest owner of premier and grand cru grapes in Champagne, owning some 1200 hectares of vines, thus giving them access to the lion's share of the best quality.
Cedric Jacopin
The Chardonnay grapes used in this champagne come only from Premier and Grand Cru vineyards near Avize, and the Pinot Noir comes only from the Grand cru villages of Bouzy and Ambonnay.

Love those embroidered pieces! They remind me of my friend Jordan's embroidery. I have a couple of her abstract embroidery pieces in my apartment, there's really nothing better than admiring a good friend's art all day long! She's on Etsy as Hide the Good Scissors, I'm not sure if she has anything for sale now or not!

A bipartisan group of Cotton Belt Senators and House members, led by Senator Saxby Chambliss (R-GA) and Representatives Etheridge (D-NC) and Emerson (R-MO), has written Secretary of Agriculture Ed Schafer to stress that it is inappropriate and unnecessary for USDA to cause serious disruptions in current farming operations by proposing unwarranted changes in the way it makes actively-engaged-in-farming determinations.
Twenty Senators and more than 40 House members signed separate letters that also request that the U.S Department of Agriculture (USDA) publish rules and regulations pertaining to new Adjusted Gross Income and payment limit reforms as soon as possible.
The letters remind the Secretary that the new law includes significant reforms in payment limitations and eligibility but does not require changes in the way individuals or entities are determined to be "actively-engaged-in-farming." Implementation of two new income tests and direct attribution will cause significant challenges and require adjustments for many farming operations.
Sign-up for 2009 should begin in October and the law requires that advance Direct Payments be available in December, meaning that the Farm Services Administration (FSA) and farmers must know the rules before signing up and requesting payments.
National Cotton Council (NCC) Chairman Larry McClendon expressed appreciation to Senator Chambliss and Representatives Etheridge and Emerson along with the other Cotton Belt Senators and Congressmen who signed the letters. McClendon said, "It is vitally important that USDA move quickly to implement the new rules and that it make no changes to actively engaged eligibility rules, as none were required by the law."
Chuck Coley, a producer from Vienna, GA, who chairs the American Cotton Producers of the NCC, expressed appreciation to Senator Chambliss for his efforts to insure the new law, which he co-authored and steered through a protracted debate, is implemented in the way Congress intended.
Max Denning, an officer of the North Carolina Cotton Producers Association, expressed appreciation to Representative Etheridge (D-NC) -- who chairs the General Farm Commodities subcommittee -- for urging USDA to publish rules necessary to allow farmers to begin to signup for the 2009 programs as soon as possible. "In this time of market uncertainty and escalating costs farmers and their lenders need access to a predictable safety-net program to begin plans for 2009 and beyond," Denning said.

Welcome to the 29th Game Day Fire Drill, for this, Calgary's 77th game of the season on April 2, 2009.
When last we spoke, Calgary had a division lead that it held since — I'm going to guess here — October 8, 1949. Well, I don't have to tell you that thanks to the run of truly horrendous play over the last month, that division lead went from oceanic to sea-like to pond-sized to creekish to nonexistant.
And it's all the Flames' own fault. They won just five games in March and only 11 since the beginning of February. And so, since we hear at FlamesNation cut the ribbon on Feb. 1, I think it's pretty clear where the blame lies: Kent Wilson.
All I ever did was praise the Flames and talk about how good Dion Phaneuf was playing, but K-Dubs over there was all "OH I DON'T KNOW ABOUT THIS STATS STATS STATS," and then I e-mailed him to be like "But Kent it's perfectly reasonable that a team with this many injuries would struggle a little bit," and he simply replied with, "CORSI YOU FOOL!!!!!!!!!! LOOK AT THE PLUS-MINUS FOR SHOTS PER 60 MINUTES AT EVEN STRENGTH!" Then I wept.
I think we'd all be a lot happier if this was a place for positivity for the next couple days.
The glass is half-full everyone, don't worry!
The Calgary Flames (43-26-6 for 92 points. Fifth in the West, second in the Northwest) and the Dallas Stars (34-33-10 for 78 points. Twelfth in the West, third in the Pacific).
6:30 p.m. Mountain time and 8:30 p.m. Eastern time. All other time zones should die of cuteness overload.
American Airlines Center, Dallas, Texas
Calgary is 18-17-2 on the road this year, and haven't won a road game in regulation since March 5. The Stars are a mediocre 19-15-5 at home and haven't won in regulation there since March 12.
What (to hate about the Stars):
Because I am hustling out the door on the way to work (I woke up faaaaaaaar too late), I will reprint the last two "What (to hate about the Stars)" in their entirety. They were incredibly well-received.
From March 18:
Loui Eriksson — Fun fact: any first name that ends with an "I" is a girl's name. Case in point: Tiffani Amber Thiessen, who, incidentally, might be a better hockey player than Loui Eriksson. If he was smart, he'd just change his name to Louie Riksson. That's a free tip, Lou. You'd be wise to listen.
Brad Richards — Listen you beaver-faced creep, I remember 2004, when you stole that Conn Smythe trophy from Miikka Kiprusoff the same way the NHL stole the Stanley Cup from Calgary. Outrageous actions! I am unhappy that he won't be playing tonight, because it would be great to see Robyn Regehr paste him to the endboards.
They probably know some of the Cowboys — Man, I hate the Cowboys. If you like them, you're a jerk. That's backed up by science. If you play for them, you're a criminal. That's backed up by court documents. If you own them, you're a member of an undead horde that is waiting until the seventh seal is broken to pour out over the face of the Earth and devour all of our souls. That's backed up by the Necronomicon.
Steve Ott — I'll just reprint what I said last time the Flames played Dallas, because I still feel the same way now:
Nothing says "giant bag of cat piss" like this clown. What he lacks in actual hockey talent he makes up for in his ability to lowbridge any of your team's favorite players and generally be a bigger dick than most NHL agitators would consider sportsmanlike. Think Sean Avery without the hockey talent or entertainment value.
Mike Modano — I thought he was meant to be the best American-born center of all time. He doesn't even have a 100-point season! And he's only scored a point a game in 10 of his 19 seasons. That's barely more than half. Embarrassing, America. Simply embarrassing.
Marty Turco — If he's so good, why does he suck so much?
The City of Dallas — As always, it's important to remember which city killed John Fitzgerald Kennedy, America's greatest president. Hint: It was not Calgary.
From Feb. 3:
Steve Ott — Nothing says "giant bag of cat piss" like this clown. What he lacks in actual hockey talent he makes up for in his ability to lowbridge any of your team's favorite players and generally be a bigger dick than most NHL agitators would consider sportsmanlike. Think Sean Avery without the hockey talent or entertainment value. Speaking of…
No Sean Avery — Their suspending Avery for the remainder of the season (or however they're justifying it) means he won't play the Flames at all this year. In turn, we get no resolution of that overblown, non-issue "Jarome Iginla is boring" talk, and probably nary a mention of any sloppy seconds at all. How gravely disappointing.
Stephane Robidas — If they were going to admit one no-offense defenseman to the All-Star Game, why shouldn't it be one that's worse than Robyn Regehr in every conceivable way?
The heat — Right this second it's 66 degrees in Dallas, or 19 Celsius for you metric system-loving Canadians. How can anybody be expected to play hockey in that? (Yes, we are jealous.)
The City of Dallas — Stole a team from Minnesota, murdered JFK.
Because you didn't want that division lead anyway. Enjoy the game and discuss your plans for all those road playoff games in the comments section.

Learn about the National Heart Lung and Blood Institute.
Lymphangioleiomyomatosis, or LAM, is a rare lung disease. It mostly affects middle-aged women. In LAM, abnormal, muscle-like cells begin to grow out of control in certain organs or tissues, especially the lungs, lymph nodes, and kidneys.
Over time, these LAM cells spread throughout the lungs and destroy normal lung tissue. As a result, air can't move freely in and out of the lungs. In some cases, the lungs can't supply the body's other organs with enough oxygen.
LAM has no cure. The disease tends to worsen over time. How quickly the disease worsens varies from woman to woman. LAM may lead to death from respiratory failure. Lung transplant is a treatment option for women whose lungs have been damaged by LAM.
However, doctors have made many advances in researching the condition in recent years. Not long ago, doctors thought women who had LAM wouldn't live more than 10 years following diagnosis. They now know that some women may survive for more than 20 years after diagnosis. Medical professionals are now able to diagnose the condition earlier. Support services also are now available to help improve the quality of life for women who have LAM.
We seek to transform patient care from reactive to being both proactive and personalized.

MILAN (AP) — Italian-born French designer Pierre Cardin is being honored by his native Veneto region for his artistic achievements and his ambitious plan to build a glass skyscraper to revitalize Venice's industrial port.
Cardin said by phone Monday that he intends his "Palace of Light" to be a "livable sculpture." He expects final approval shortly for the project that will house a fashion university, luxury hotels and shops.
Cardin, who turned 90 in July, was born Pietro Cardin north of Venice and moved to France as a child. He described himself "as a true Italian, even if I live in Paris. Without Paris, there would be no Pierre Cardin."
The Lion of Veneto award is being presented Monday with a ceremony and concert at Venice's La Fenice opera house.

Diddy And 8 Other Artists Who Need To Release Memoirs
With the Beastie Boys in talks to release a memoir in the near future, it doesn't come as a surprise that the surviving members want to create something that's more than just a simple story. According to Rolling Stone, Juile Grau, the publisher of Spiegel & Grau, says Adam and Mike want to create a multidimensional experience. With their 20-plus-year career, the book will be something to remember. Though plenty of hip-hop memoirs have lined shelves (see: Prodigy, Common and, um, Karrine Steffans), many more stories remain untold. Here, 10 vets who should snatch a pen (and a ghostwriter) and start writing their legacy in book form.

2009 was a year the premier won't soon forget.
Scott Hennig from the Canadian Taxpayers Federation tells 660News, Stelmach can start off the year with a bang, if he commits to balancing the books.
He says in Alberta, it's going to take more work than just hoping the economy grows and gets us out of our deficit. The government will need to cut spending and get us back down to a position that is sustainable, and to a level of spending we can sustain over the long term.
Hennig does commend the premier for this year's promise not to raise taxes, but he thinks balancing the budget should be Stelmach's new year's resolution.

Andrew Krieman is a devoted supporter to everyone he meets. When his neighbor's child was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes (T1D) in 2007, he jumped right in to help raise awareness and find a cure. It started by helping with the Gala and before he knew it, he was co-chairing the event. Since then, he has connected with and formed friendships with countless people who are impacted by the disease, and he is now committed to the community who tapped his spirit.
Andrew's enthusiasm was quickly noticed by the JDRF Triangle/Eastern NC Chapter and he was promptly asked to join the Executive Board, recently completing his two-year term as President. He is currently serving on the Strategic Planning Committee, Volunteer Engagement Committee and co-leading the chapter's endurance efforts, his biggest passion. Always seeking to challenge himself, this year Andrew plans to participate in the Ride to Cure Diabetes in Tuscan and the Hope on 2 Wheels on the East Coast. He is determined to recruit as many people as possible. He says, "It's life-changing to see so many people work so hard for a common purpose and the rides themselves are amazing! Whether you ride one or 100 miles, you'll leave the ride weekend with a sense of accomplishment unlike any other and you'll have met many inspiring people."
Optimistic and good-humored, Andrew wants and expects people to perform at their best. He has been able to apply leadership principles, which have served him in his professional life as Service Operations Manager at Allscripts, towards his work for JDRF. He says, "I always look to surround myself with people smarter than me — which isn't very difficult. I've also been able to leverage many relationships for sponsorships, auction procurement and even to add board members for JDRF." He has earned the greatest respect from staff members and fellow volunteers. Executive Board member Peegan Turner says, "Andrew cares. He cares about JDRF. He cares about our volunteers and staff. He wants the organization to be run well, be efficient with our resources and utilize everything that JDRF has been given to its fullest extent."
Andrew plans to continue working hard to build support for the community he refers to as the "family of folks affected by T1D." He says, "A cure will mean that so many people whom I love will be able to live their lives exactly as they choose. It will mean that when I ride with many of my friends, they'll only be worried about miles, cadence, and speed and not carb intake and blood sugars." No doubt, Andrew will keep riding until that day comes.

Inhibition of SARS coronavirus infection in vitro with clinically approved antiviral drugs
Suche in Medline nach
|26. Mai 2004
The aim of this study is to investigate whether a panel of commercially available antiviral drugs exhibit in-vitro anti SARS-CoV activity. A drug screening assay that scores for SARS-CoV-induced cytopathic effects on cultured cells was used. These experiments allow for the rapid screening of commercially available antiviral agents, enabling those with in vitro evidence of activity to move expeditiously into clinical studies due to the already available safety and pharmacokinetic information in humans for other disease indications. Tested were nineteen clinically approved compounds from several major antiviral pharmacologic classes: nucleoside analogs, interferons, protease inhibitors, reverse transcriptase inhibitors, and neuraminidase inhibitors. A cell-based assay utilizing cytopathic endpoints (CPE) was set up using SARS-CoV infection of Vero E6 cells to screen these antiviral compounds. The initial screen was followed by a plaque reduction assay to determine the EC50 of compounds showing positive results in the primary assay. Complete inhibition of cytopathic effects of SARS-CoV in culture was observed for interferon subtypes, beta-1b, alpha-n1 and alpha-n3. Ribavirin, a drug widely used in initial efforts to manage SARS infections, did not demonstrate antiviral activity in our assays at clinically useful doses. These findings support clinical testing of approved interferons for the treatment of SARS.

What's a web feed?
Web feeds are useful for keeping up with multiple online information sources. Some common types of feeds are a site's blog posts, all our stories from a particular category (from large categories, like Sports, to small categories, like our Books coverage). The feeds you subscribe let you know when there's new content. The feeds themselves usually consist of a collection of entries, each with a headline and a blurb and a link.
What's the point?
The cool thing about feeds is when they're used right they save you time. Web feeds allow you access to only the information you're interested in and none of the information you're not. Are you only interested in our movie coverage? Instead of surfing to our movie section each day to see if there's a new article, you can subscrib to the movie web feed, which will let you know when there are new articles. This gets more useful the more feeds you subscribe to: instead of going to, say, fifteen different sites, sections or pages to see if there's anything you want to read, now you just go to one place.
What's a web feed reader?
To take advantage of these feeds, you'll need a web feed reader, which is a piece of software that searches the web for feeds. You can customize these readers to just search for articles or sources (like a specific blog, for example, or all the News from the BBC) that you want, and ignore everything else. It's a way to filter through the huge amount of information online and retrieve the stuff that matters most to you.

From large multinational corporations to fledgling start-ups, businesses across the world are attempting to reign in their budgets in order to remain afloat during the current economic recession. However, in the flurry to cut costs, it's possible that some corporate priorities may fall by the wayside. Business insurance, for example, is in danger of becoming one of the great casualties of the downturn, as corporations forgo certain levels of cover in order to reduce the premiums they pay.
However, whilst periods of business uncertainty can be the ideal time to assess whether you're getting the most from your current business insurance provider, actually downsizing the level of protection surrounding your firm is unlikely to be the wisest economic move – particularly if you're faced with a large scale data theft or a legal battle with a former employee. Business liability insurance in particular is something that companies need to maintain; not only is this a UK legal requirement but it's also a crucial safeguard in an unpredictable economic climate.
There are several components to consider when building up comprehensive business liability insurance, the most important of which is arguably employers liability insurance. This type of cover makes up the cost of damages or legal fees that may have to be paid if an employee falls sick or suffers an accident due to employer negligence. Employers liability insurance must cover all your employees in England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland and each employer must be insured for at least £5 million.
Public liability insurance is another paramount component of business liability cover if members of the public or customers are allowed on to your premises. This covers damages your firm may incur should a member of the public suffer an injury caused by you or your business, including legal fees and hospital costs. Product liability insurance, on the other hand, applies to any physical products that are sold by your company. It's crucial to remember that you're legally responsible for any damage or injury that a product supplied by your firm may cause; this type of insurance covers you for any damages that may be awarded to successful claimants, as well as hospital treatment costs the NHS is entitled to recoup.
Other types of cover that may be included within business liability insurance [http://uk.insurancewide.com/insurance/business/guides/liability/] includes insurance against pollution damages, professional indemnity insurance and tax and VAT investigation insurance. However, depending on the size of your business and the services you offer, it's possible that you may not need all of these safeguards.
If in doubt, it's important to seek specialist advice before purchasing business insurance. This will help you reduce any unnecessary aspects of your business liability cover – for instance, if you only employ close family members or your firm is not a limited company, you may not need employers liability insurance. What's more, if your business liability insurance policy is up for renewal, insurance comparison websites and resources could be invaluable in helping you find a new deal – so you could lower your business liability insurance premiums without compromising on the level of cover you enjoy.

FLORENCE, Italy – A prosecutor urged a court on Monday to take steps to make sure that American Amanda Knox and her former Italian boyfriend would serve their sentences, if they are convicted of murdering British student Meredith Kercher.
Prosecutor Alessandro Crini preceded his request by noting that Knox has remained in the United States for this trial, while co-defendant Raffaele Sollecito has traveled abroad during it.
The defense and prosecution were both making their final rebuttals on Monday before the court begins deliberations on Jan. 30. A verdict is expected later that day.
Crini has requested guilty verdicts and jail sentences of 26 years for both defendants, and that the court increase to four years Knox's three-year sentence for a slander conviction, which has been upheld.
In the case of Sollecito, who told reporters Monday that he intends to remain in Italy for the verdict, the precautionary measures could include immediate arrest, house arrest or the confiscation of his passport.
The court's reach in Knox's case is limited by her presence in the United States, where she returned a free woman after the 2009 guilty verdicts against her and Sollecito were thrown out by a Perugia appeals court in 2011. Italy's highest court ordered a second appellate trial after blasting the acquittal.
Knox's lawyer, Carlo Dalla Vedova, said during a break that any request for extradition could be made only after a possible guilty verdict is confirmed by Italy's highest court -- a process that can take a year or more.
For the moment, Knox is being tried in absentia, a status that formally is not prejudicial in her regard. She would become a fugitive should she fail to return to serve a sentence should any guilty verdict in this trial be upheld on appeal by Italy's top criminal court.
Sollecito's father, Francesco Sollecito, said his son has no intention of fleeing justice.
`'The fact that Raffaele has no intention of escaping the trial is evident by his presence" in the courtroom, Francesco Sollecito said. He said his son has been legitimately looking for jobs abroad, having explained in court that prospective employers in Italy are put off by the notoriety surrounding the case. `'He is looking around, because he hopes this story ends soon."
The sensational legal case has fueled headlines since the gruesome discovery of Kercher's half-naked body beneath a blanket in her locked bedroom on Nov. 2, 2007. She had been sexually assaulted and stabbed multiple times.
A third person, Ivory Coast-born Rudy Hermann Guede, is serving a 16-year sentence for the murder. His conviction specified that he did not carrying out the murder alone.

This is not a officially supported method but works for many users.
- It's a good idea to have a backup of your system before performing an upgrade. If you have
/homein a separate logical volume or partition, it makes backing up user data easier. This is a feature requested for the Fedora Installer. See Bug 150670 for more on this.
- Doing a clean installation and then restoring user data from backups may work better for some users. Future releases may include features to assist in this process. See AnacondaWorkItems for more information.
- You can do an upgrade using the regular installation DVDs. Live media only performs fresh installations, not upgrades. The installation overrides any third party packages which conflict with the default installation set. Applications within the Fedora repository are easily upgradeable. See the Installation Guide for more information.
- Make sure you read the Release Notes carefully before attempting an upgrade.
- You can also do an upgrade using the
yumpackage manager, but this is not officially supported by the Fedora Project. See the Yum Upgrade FAQ page for details.
Rawhide is an unstable version of Fedora that is updated daily. It is suitable for people who are developing or testing Fedora before broad public release.

Report: UAE camel trainer drowns in surf chase
Report: UAE camel trainer drowns in surf chase
Sep. 17, 2013
SHARJAH, United Arab Emirates (AP) — A police officer in the United Arab Emirates says a camel trainer drowned after his animal raced into the sea north of Dubai.
The National newspaper on Tuesday quotes police Maj. Khalid Ali Obaid al-Ali as saying the Sudanese man took the camel to be washed in the Persian Gulf in Sharjah, the emirate north of Dubai. The report said the camel ran into the sea and the trainer followed into deep water.
Al-Ali said it took rescue units four hours to locate the body, which was found about 200 meters (yards) off the coast.
Camels are common outside the UAE's urban centers and some are trained for popular camel racing events.

12:00 amMoyers & Company [#227H] Distracted from Democracy * Across the world - Greece, Spain, Brazil, Egypt - citizens are turning angrily to their governments to demand economic fair play and equality. But here in America, with few exceptions, the streets and airwaves remain relatively silent. In a country as rich and powerful as America, why is there so little outcry about the ever-increasing, deliberate divide between the very wealthy and everyone else?
This week, media scholar Marty Kaplan points to a number of forces keeping these issues and affected citizens in the dark - especially our well-fed appetite for media distraction. An award-winning columnist and head of the Norman Lear Center at the University of Southern California, Kaplan also talks about the appropriate role of journalists as advocates for truth.
* Later on the show, acclaimed historian Gary May puts the recent Supreme Court decision gutting the Voting Rights Act into historical perspective, noting it's just one moment in a long, ongoing struggle to ensure voting rights for every American. A specialist in American political, diplomatic and social history, May's latest book is Bending Toward Justice: The Voting Rights Act and the Transformation of American Democracy. duration 56:46 STEREO TVRE

Carcharhinus cautus
|Scope: Global
Language: English
|Scientific Name:
|Carcharhinus cautus (Whitley, 1945)
Common Name(s):
|Red List Category & Criteria:
|Data Deficient ver 3.1
|Year Published:
|Date Assessed:
Needs updating
|Bennett, M.B. & Kyne, P.M. (SSG Australia & Oceania Regional Workshop, March 2003)
|Fowler, S. & Cavanagh, R.D. (Shark Red List Authority)
This species is apparently common in shallow warm coastal waters and embayments within its range (northern Australia, Papua New Guinea and Solomon Islands). Females mature at 5 to 6 years and reach maximum size at 16 years. Litters of 2 to 6 are produced at two-year intervals. Relatively little is known about its population structure and dynamics. It occurs in areas of northern Australia that are targeted by a moderate level of prawn trawling and coastal/estuarine gillnetting. This species is probably taken as a bycatch in both fisheries, but with a greater likelihood of being caught in the inshore gillnet fishery. Discard/release mortality is probably significant but these fisheries are not thought to be detrimental to the Australian population (where this species is assessed as Least Concern). It will also be taken (and presumably not discarded) in shallow coastal gillnet and line fisheries elsewhere in its range, where no data are available.
|Range Description:
|Occurs on continental and insular shelves in shallow water in sub-tropical and tropical waters of northern Australia, Papua New Guinea (P.N.G.) and the Solomon Islands. It seems likely that this species may also be found in the intervening waters around east P.N.G. The southern extent of its range on the east coast of Australia has been recently extended following the capture of mature adults and young sharks in Moreton Bay, Queensland (Kyne et al., in prep.). It is the most common carcharhinid in Darwin Harbour (Northern Territory), which lies at the centre of this species' range. It is one of the six most common near-shore species on the eastern side of the Gulf of Carpentaria (Queensland) and is also common in Shark Bay (Western Australia).

|Current Population Trend:
|Additional data:
|Habitat and Ecology:
|This species occurs in shallow warm, coastal waters including large embayments. They may be more common in areas that are fringed by mangroves, possibly preferring a sand/mud substrate, although they are also found in areas away from mangroves (Lyle 1987, White et al. 2002). The species is often found in association with C. melanopterus, C. dussumieri, C. amblyrhynchos, C. sorrah, C. tilsoni, C. fitzroyensis and Rhizoprionodon acutus. Very similar to C. melanopterus (but lacks conspicuous black tips to the first dorsal and anal fins) and may have been confused in parts of its range. It is reported to reach 150 cm total length (TL) (Last and Stevens 1994) although other data suggest males reach about 120 cm and females 140 cm TL (White et al. 2002). Males are thought to mature at about 79 to 84 cm TL and females at about 91 cm TL from Darwin, Northern Territory (Lyle 1987), but at 91 cm TL and 101 cm TL respectively from Shark Bay, Western Australia (White et al. 2002). Testes mass peaks in January, with sperm present in seminal vesicles in February/March (Lyle 1987). White et al. (2002) report ovulation and conception occurring in December. It seems likely that copulation occurs over a period of two or three months in mid/late-summer (December to March). Gestation lasts 10 months with a litter size of 2 to 6, produced every other year. Young are born at 33-39 cm TL. Males mature at 4 to 5 years of age and reach maximum body size by about 12 years. Females mature at 6 to 7 years, reaching a maximum size at about 16 years. Carcharhinus cautus has a varied diet, primarily consisting of teleost fishes, followed in importance by crustaceans (prawns, crabs, mantid shrimps) and molluscs (Lyle 1987, Salini et al. 1992). There are records of this species taking terrestrial snakes, indicating an opportunistic feeding behaviour (Lyle and Timms 1987).
|Major Threat(s):
|This species is threatened primarily by inshore gill-net fisheries throughout its range. In Australia it is the barramundi (Lates calcarifer) fishery that poses the greatest threat. Smaller individuals may also be taken as bycatch in the prawn trawl fisheries to the north of Australia. It will also be taken in shallow coastal gill net and line fisheries elsewhere in its range, where no data are available.
|Conservation Actions:
|The broad distribution and common occurrence of C. cautus is offset by the susceptibility of the species to inshore gill-net fisheries. Future research should examine the level of bycatch in these fisheries, together with their attendant mortalities. An education program aimed at encouraging release of sharks would have a limited effect, as individual sharks caught in nets die quickly of hypoxia. Practical action in the form of net restrictions will be the only effective measure. Research into population sizes and movements of individuals, via tag-release-recapture studies, is required to better understand this species.

We are told in the hadith that Hazrat Mahdi (as) will have "a beautiful face and beautiful hair."In addition, we are told that Hazrat Mahdi (as), described above as having "a wide face"and in other hadiths as having "a broad forehead,"will also have a largish head, like the holy head of the Prophet Muhammad (saas).
Al-Qirmani al-Dimashqi (1019), a famous Sunni scholar, writes in his Akhbar al-Duwal:
"… He [Hazrat Mahdi (as)] WILL BE OF MEDIUM HEIGHT WITH A BEAUTIFUL FACE AND HAIR..." (Al-Qirmani al-Dimashqi, Akhbar al-Duwal, p. 117 - printed in 1382 AH)
Abd al-Malik al-'Isami (1111) is a well-known historian residing in Mecca. In his four-volume work of history known as Simt al-Nujum al'awali he says: "... He [Hazrat Mahdi (as)] IS A TEMPERATE YOUNG MAN WITH A BEAUTIFUL FACE AND HAIR, A FINE NOSE AND BROAD FACE."(Abd al-Malik al-Shafi'i al-Makki al-'Isami, Simt al-Nujum al'awali, Vol 4, p. 138; Abdullah Turan, Hz. Mehdi Aleyhisselam [Hazrat Mahdi (as)], Al-i Taha Press, p. 157)

In an effort to control deer populations impacting native plant communities, the Ohio Department of Natural Resources' (ODNR) Division of Natural Areas and Preserves, in conjunction with the ODNR Division of Parks, will again coordinate special gun and archery deer hunts at seven state nature preserves across the state.
High quality habitats at several state nature preserves including Goll Woods, Lawrence Woods, Christmas Rocks and Lake Katharine have been negatively impacted by over-browsing deer. For example, large flowered trillium-Ohio's state wildflower and once commonly seen-have nearly disappeared from many sites because of foraging deer.
"Special management hunts are an excellent tool we can utilize to protect native plant communities in Ohio's best natural areas," said Ryan Schroeder, preserve manager at Goll Woods State Nature Preserve. "These hunts allow Ohio's hunters to assist us with our land management activities while giving them a chance to see and appreciate some of Ohio's highest quality natural areas they may never see otherwise."
Application for the hunts this year will be handled at the local level by individual preserve managers. Hunters must attend individual meetings if they are interested in particular hunts. At that time, hunters can enter the drawing (up to five entries per hunter will be allowed with a $5 fee for each entry). Hunters must possess a valid 2012-13 hunting license in order to purchase tickets. Names will be randomly drawn, and hunting pairs will be assigned a two week block of time to hunt. The orientation for the hunters will be conducted immediately following the drawing. Each special archery hunt permit will be good for two hunters for the two week period, although only one of the two hunters must attend the drawing and orientation.
These hunts are "doe first" hunts, meaning a buck can be taken only after an antlerless deer is harvested. This helps ensure that the deer herd is impacted. Special regulations will be addressed at the orientation meetings following the drawings. All ODNR Division of Wildlife rules and regulations will be followed, including bag limits and tagging procedures.
The Lake Katharine Gun hunt drawing will be conducted in the same manner as the archery hunts, except that the orientation will not be held the same day as the drawing. Pairs of hunters will be drawn for one of two possible two-day hunts during the weeklong statewide gun season. Orientations for the gun hunt will occur on the first morning of the hunt period.
Hunters may apply for hunts at multiple sites, but they must attend the meeting for each hunt in order to enter the drawing. Do not mail entry forms.
Hunt locations and meeting dates are as follows:
The gun hunt drawing for Lake Katharine State Nature Preserve Office (Jackson County) will be held at 1703 Katharine Road, Jackson, Ohio 45640 on Sept. 8 at 10 a.m. Contact Jeff Johnson at 740-380-8919 or firstname.lastname@example.com with questions.
An archery hunt drawing for Christmas Rocks (Fairfield County) will be held at the Boch Hollow State Nature Preserve, located at 7211 Bremen Road, Logan, Ohio 43138 on Sept. 9 at 10 a.m. Contact Jeff Johnson with questions.
An archery hunt drawing for Shallenberger (Fairfield County) will be held at the Boch Hollow State Nature Preserve on Sept. 9 at 10 a.m. Contact Jeff Johnson with questions.
The archery hunt drawing for Goll Woods (Fulton County) will be held at Goll Woods State Nature Preserve Office, located at 26093 County Road F., Archbold, Ohio 43502 on Sept. 1 at 9 a.m. Contact Ryan Schroeder at 419-445-1775 or email@example.com with questions.
