Here is a summary of my Weight Watchers meeting February 22, 2011.
Due to the fact that our new PointsPlus program has been such a huge hit, we have sold out of PointsPlus calculators. Until our stock can be replenished you can find your free online version of the calculator at www.weightwatchers.com/calculator
Now this week in the meeting room we talked about measuring our portion sizes. You saw with your own eyes how much of a huge difference just a little more of your foods can make pointsplus wise. You also got to see our very own electronic food scale in action. In fact, you guys bought out our supply of scales and easy measure sets. If you were not able to get a scale or the easy measure set because we sold out…never fear we have placed another order for these items and we should have them back in the meeting room soon!
The best place for you to learn proper portion sizes is by practicing at home-
The more familiar you are with adequate portion sizes there, the easier it is to estimate portion sizes when you're eating out. Here's how to set up your home environment:
o Keep measuring tools handy. Set up your cooking/eating area so that measuring tools are easily available and in plain sight. Place measuring cups in the silverware drawer as a reminder to check portions now and then!
o Measure liquid and solids differently. There are different measuring systems for liquids and solids (i.e. for solids, 16 ounces equals one pound, and with liquids eight fluid ounces equals one fluid cup). The best tool for solid measure is a food scale or baking/dry measuring cups. For liquid measure, a clear glass or plastic measuring cup with cup- and fluid ounce-markings on the side gives additional room at the top so liquids won't spill over.
o Measure accurately. Whether you're using a tablespoon or cup, it should be leveled off. And the best measuring spoons and cups are ones that can be squared off for easy leveling.
o Note the actual size of your dinnerware and cups. Figure out what correct servings (for example, a three-ounce piece of chicken next to a one-cup serving of spinach) look like on your plates. Tip: If you have a smaller plate such as a salad or dessert plate, using it instead of a larger dinner plate might make you feel as if you're having more food.
o Store foods in individual serving sizes. After you buy bulk-size packages of food, portion out correct serving sizes. For example, if you purchase an extra large bag of pretzels, use plastic baggies to portion it into single servings. The same goes for large packages of poultry and meat – divide it into single servings right away for easy cooking or freezing.
o Check the actual serving size. When eating packaged foods or drinks, be aware that a package or bottle probably contains more than one serving, perhaps more than two. When cooking from recipes, be mindful of serving sizes and how many servings a recipe actually makes.
o Learn to relate common household objects to proper serving sizes.
o Recognize and practice getting in your Good Healthy Guidelines (Page 61 of your getting started book)
What's a serving size?
1. Fruits, vegetables and leafy greens
Serving sizes are 1 cup for leafy greens and 1/2 cup for all other vegetables and fruits. The lettuce alone in a large salad may well count for 2 or more vegetable servings. The default portion for most fruits and vegetables when tracking on e-tools is one cup.
2. Packaged whole grains
Use the nutrition label to determine the serving size of packaged whole grain foods.
3. Milk and dairy
If you are more than 50 years old or are a teenager or a nursing mom, increase milk servings to three each day. Examples of one milk serving include 1 cup of milk or yogurt (which is 8 ounces) or 1 1/2 ounces of many cheeses. So just one container of 6oz of yogurt does not meet a full serving.
4. Healthy oils
Having 2 teaspoons of healthy oil each day ensures that you get the vitamin E and essential fatty acids that your body needs. Use the oil on salads, in cooking or as an ingredient in a mixed dish. Two teaspoons of oil is not even 1 tablespoon, so be careful to measure, since each additional teaspoon counts as another PointsPlus value of 1.
5. Lean meat and fish
A serving of lean meat or fish is generally 3 to 4 ounces, about the size of a deck of cards or for thin fish about the length of a checkbook.
6. Water
Six 8-ounce glasses of water is just 3 standard 16-ounce bottles. So go out and start hydrating

MI5, MI6, GCHQ want official real time access to all communications
Steve Watson
February 20, 2012
The British government has dusted off previously shelved plans to create huge databases, enabling spy agencies to monitor every phone call, email and text message as well as websites visited by everyone in the country.
The Telegraph reports that under the plans, the government will force every communications network to store the data for one year. The plans also extend to social networking sites such as Facebook and Twitter, and gaming sites.
The plans, drawn up by MI5, MI6 and GCHQ, the government's secret eavesdropping agency, may be officially announced as soon as May, according to details seen by the Telegraph. Those agencies would have real time access to the records kept by companies such as Vodafone and British Telecom.
The records would allow the spy agencies to monitor the "who, when and where" of every phone call, text message and email sent, while also allowing for internet browsing histories to be matched to IP addresses.
Unassumingly titled the Communications Capabilities Development Programme (CCDP), the new scheme is set to be implemented under anti-terrorism laws, with the spy agencies saying it will allow them to more closely monitor suspects ahead of the London 2012 Olympics in July.
Critics and civil liberties advocates are calling for mass opposition to the plans, noting that the scheme is open to abuse not only by spy agencies and communications companies themselves, but also by hackers and online criminals.
Jim Killock, executive director of the Open Rights Group, a civil liberties campaign organisation, said: "This would be a systematic effort to spy on all of our digital communications.
"No state in history has been able to gather the level of information proposed – it's a way of collecting everything about who we talk to just in case something turns up." Killock added.
Gus Hosein, of Privacy International, said: "This will be ripe for hacking. Every hacker, every malicious threat, every foreign government is going to want access to this.
"And if communications providers have a government mandate to start collecting this information they will be incredibly tempted to start monitoring this data themselves so they can compete with Google and Facebook."
"The internet companies will be told to store who you are friends with and interact with. While this may appear innocuous it requires the active interception of every single communication you make, and this has never been done in a democratic society." Hosein urged.
The Open Rights Group has an online anti-CCDP petition, which describes the plan as "pointless," "expensive," and "illegal" and urges the public to come together to oppose it.
Back in 2008, the government announced its intention to create a massive central database, gathering details on every text sent, e-mail sent, phone call made and website visited by everyone in the UK.
The programme, known as the "Interception Modernisation Programme", would have allowed spy chiefs at GCHQ, the centre for Signal Intelligence (SIGINT) activities, to effectively place a "live tap" on every electronic communication in Britain in the name of preventing terrorism.
Following outcry over the announcement, the government suggested that it was scaling down the plans, with then Home Secretary Jacqui Smith stating that there were "absolutely no plans for a single central store" of communications data.
However, as the "climbdown" was celebrated by civil liberties advocates and the plan was "replaced" by new laws requiring ISPs to store details of emails and internet telephony for just 12 months, fresh details emerged indicating the government was implementing a big brother spy system that far outstrips the original public announcement.
The London Times published leaked details of a secret mass internet surveillance project known as "Mastering the Internet" (MTI).
Costing hundreds of millions in public funds, the system continued to be implemented by GCHQ with the aid of American defence giant Lockheed Martin and British IT firm Detica, which has close ties to the intelligence agencies.
A group of over 300 internet service providers and telecommunications firms attempted to fight back over the radical plans, describing the proposals as an unwarranted invasion of people's privacy.
Currently, any interception of a communication in Britain must be authorised by a warrant signed by the home secretary or a minister of equivalent rank. Only individuals who are the subject of police or security service investigations may be subject to surveillance.
If the GCHQ's MTI project is completed, black-box probes would be placed at critical traffic junctions with internet service providers and telephone companies, allowing eavesdroppers to instantly monitor the communications of every person in the country without the need for a warrant.
Even if you believe GCHQ's denial that it has any plans to create a huge monitoring system, the current law under the RIPA (the Regulation of Investigatory Powers Act) allows hundreds of government agencies access to the records of every internet provider in the country.
If the plans go ahead, every internet user will be given a unique ID code and all their data will be stored in one place. Government agencies such as the police and security services will have access to the data should they request it with respect to criminal or terrorist investigations.
This is clearly the next step in an incremental program to implement an already exposed full scale big brother spy system designed to completely obliterate privacy, a fundamental right under Article 8 of the European Convention on Human Rights.
It is also clear that the Anglo-American establishment is in lock step when it comes to monitoring and restricting freedom of communications.
A similar plan is fully in the works in the US, in the guise of The Protecting Children from Internet Pornographers Act, which passed votes in both the House and the Senate in 2011.
The legislation, currently still up for debate, will force Internet providers to store information on all their customers and share it with the federal government and law enforcement agencies.
Described by privacy experts as a "stalking horse for a massive expansion of federal power", the bill was significantly beefed at the last minute before passing a House Judiciary committee vote to include the enforced retention of customers' names, addresses, phone numbers, credit card numbers and bank account numbers, as well as IP addresses.

New London, Norwich, Preston receive grants for brownfield studies
Norwich — With the Thames River as a backdrop and standing on a crumbling concrete slab, Gov. Dannel P. Malloy Wednesday announced brownfields assessment grants for Norwich, New London and Preston to start cleanup work that could bring long-vacant, abandoned and contaminated sites back on the state's tax rolls.
Norwich will receive $200,000 to assess 8.5 acres across five parcels in the Shipping Street-Terminal Way area, a blighted former industrial district that has been a city redevelopment target for the past decade. The city plans to move its boat ramp from the downtown Howard T. Brown Memorial Park to the former industrial property owned by Castle Family Realty.
Officials hope renewed activity in the blighted area that offers scenic views of the Thames River and the Mohegan Sun casino tower in the distance will spur surrounding economic development.
Mayor Deberey Hinchey has met with Malloy's staff several times since she was elected in November and has made the Shipping Street area and the boat launch relocation one of her top priorities.
City officials and Hinchey's mayoral predecessors have brought state and federal dignitaries to visit the Shipping Street area numerous times over the past decade hoping to spark support for the costly cleanup and redevelopment task. Hinchey brought U.S. Sen. Chris Murphy, D-Conn., to the property last month and discussed it with U.S. Sen. Richard Blumenthal, D-Conn., in February. Blumenthal's planned tour of Norwich sites was canceled by a snowstorm during his visit.
"This is an exciting event," Hinchey said to the gathering of about 30 people at the riverfront property. "I want to (say) thank you to the governor and to the commissioners and all the people who have worked very hard on this."
In New London, a $200,000 brownfield assessment grant will be used to assess the lot at the corner of Bank and Howard streets, the site of a proposed grocery store and housing development, according to Ned Hammond, the city's economic development coordinator.
The funding may also be used to assess the possibility of redeveloping an old mill building on Garfield Avenue, Hammond said. "We are just tickled pink that we got this money to help move some projects along," Hammond said. "It will be a big help and a big thank you goes out to the governor."
Preston's $200,000 grant would be used to continue the town's assessment of the remaining buildings slated for demolition at the 393-acre former Norwich Hospital property and to study areas where the state had torn down properties in the past and other spots of potential environmental concern, Preston Redevelopment Agency Chairman Sean Nugent said. The town acquired the former state hospital in 2009.
"This is another piece in the puzzle that will get us finish up on the areas of concern," First Selectman Robert Congdon said. "We keep maintaining our momentum and that's a good thing."
The funding to the three local municipalities is part of a $3.8 million brownfield grant package Malloy announced Wednesday to 21 cities and towns for 22 assessment projects.
Malloy said the state's industrial past might have been the backbone of the economy years ago, but those buildings and sites now present environmental and blight challenges.
"As Connecticut's economy continues to grow, more and more of our legacy manufacturing and other brownfield sites are becoming ripe for redevelopment and reuse," Malloy said.
Rob Klee, recently appointed commissioner of the Department of Energy and Environmental Protection, said redeveloping brownfield sites has the added advantage of protecting the state's so-called greenfields, or undeveloped open space areas. He said removing contamination also improves public health.
While the brownfield funding is just seed money to assess properties for future potential development, Malloy also gave a "broad" commitment of future state funding for those projects if they prove viable and include public-private partnerships. He said the assessment grants were competitive and not all towns that applied received funding.
Norwich Mayor Deberey Hinchey plans to take advantage of the governor's offer of future assistance to complete the boat launch development and other possible projects in the Shipping Street area. She said the city is in verbal negotiations with Castle Family Realty, the property owner of the 2.3-acre parcel where the city hopes to place a new boat launch. Hinchey said the owner has been very cooperative in discussions about the plan to move the boat launch.
The city owns a blighted building directly across Terminal Way from the property and could use that for trailer parking and additional parking if riverfront events are held at the site in the future, Director of Planning and Development Peter Davis said.
The boat launch would be located just north of the spot where Malloy made the grant announcement.
The launch currently at Brown Park has been considered unsafe and inconvenient. The boat launch has to be closed during the many summertime festivals at the park, and vehicles hauling trailers have to park along busy Chelsea Harbor Drive or in limited nearby lots. Drivers also have to be wary of the many pedestrians using the park as they back into the launch site.

What about bears? Grizzly bears, black bears and me
"A Trinidad woman was flown by helicopter late Friday to a hospital after she was mauled by a bear she tried to scare away from her house by clanging pots and pans.
Denver Post May 20, 2012″
What to do about bears?
Sometimes banging pots and pans works. Obviously, sometimes not. It's worked for me a couple of times but I guess I'll rethink that particular strategy. You never know what's going to just piss a bear off.
Another photo editor and I were talking about bears the other day. Bears have been much in the news; the mauling in Trinidad; the images of tranquilized bears falling out of trees in Boulder and Steamboat Springs; the closure of some National Forest campgrounds to tent camping; the amazing images of a photographer/grizzly bear encounter in Yellowstone.
My co-worker has never seen a bear in the Colorado wild. A bear destroyed his tent and sleeping bag while he was out hiking a few years ago but as far as seeing an actual living breathing bruin. Zip. Nada. Zero.
So maybe he should hang out in the woods with me. Or not!
Bears appear in my life at weird and unpredictable times. They're like phantoms. Now you see one. Now you don't. Even when I'm looking right at one I have a hard time wrapping my brain around the fact of it.
"Shit! There's a bear!"

CANYON, Texas—Financing a college education can be a challenge for many parents, but officials at West Texas A&M University have a plan that will ease those budget woes while offering a built-in incentive for students to finish their degrees on time.
WTAMU is implementing a guaranteed tuition plan for fall 2014. It's a plan that, depending on the number of semester hours earned, locks in a tuition rate for the rest of a student's education as long as that student graduates on time. And knowing that locked-in rate offers students and parents an amazing tool in planning for college. Families can plan with confidence on yearly college expenses knowing that tuition paid the first year will remain the same through the senior year. Plus, the guaranteed tuition plan is an incentive for students to graduate on time to save money.
Current students, graduate students, transfer students as well as out-of-state and border students get the same tuition perk, too. Incoming freshman will be on the four-year plan while others, depending on the number of credit hours earned, will be on either the three-year plan (30-59 hours), two-year plan (60-89 hours) or one-year plan (more than 89 hours). Locked-in rates for the 2014-2015 academic year will be based on a 2.2 percent inflation rate—one of the lowest in the state compared to other universities—and will be guaranteed for four years.
The table below is set for 15 semester credit hours for undergraduate and 9 semester credit hours for graduate. These costs are approved by the Texas A&M System Board of Regents.
Use the table below to figure tuition costs or check out the University's Tuition Estimator.
Texas/Border County Resident Rates
Nursing Differential Tuition*
College of Business/ Engineering and Computer Science Differential Tuition*
*Differential Tuition rates are an additional charge per semester credit hour for the following majors: Nursing, Business, Engineering and Computer Science. These charges are only applied after a major has been officially declared which is usually sophomore or junior year.
Residency is determined by the Admissions Office based on information provided by students applying for admission. Categories of residency are:
"Families share a sense of relief when learning of the guaranteed tuition at WT," Kyle Moore, director of admissions, said. "During a time when so many families are experiencing budget volatility, this guarantee provides an element of reliability. Students and families no longer have to try and predict or stress over the long-term cost of higher education, WT has elected to carry that burden for them."
It's all an effort by WTAMU and The Texas A&M University System to keep tuition as low as possible while standing by its commitment to provide a quality education. And a quality education is exactly what students get at WTAMU. The University is focused on student success and offers a variety of student-centered programs, services and facilities that challenge and support students to ensure their academic success. Plus, the University's great student-to-professor ratio means students are more than just a face in the crowd and allows for one-on-one interaction with instructors. That interaction also lets students know they have a valuable mentor to guide them through their college years.
A quality education at WTAMU also means hands-on opportunities for all students regardless of classification. From the first day of class, freshmen are encouraged to participate, learn and succeed in a variety of hands-on opportunities across campus in preparation for today's job market. Working with a high definition camera, hosting a radio show, starring in a theatre production, singing a solo or conducting some heavy duty research are activities available to all WTAMU students, regardless of classification. Those opportunities combined with a fantastic selection of classes, courses and majors makes for the best in a quality educational experience at WTAMU.
The ease of college planning with the University's new guaranteed tuition plan, plus a number of financial aid options make the WTAMU college experience available to all students. For more information, visit wtamu.edu

I'm not too picky but I'm looking for something eye catching. Something to flow with the site. It must have "Speed District" somewhere in the logo. I've used the font Stencil in the past, it would be nice to keep using it but if you have something else nicer, I can live without it. I want it to look fast, clean and just to flow with everything. Let everyone know we mean business! All the car enthusiasts should switch over to my site! It's fun and free! I would like to use black, white, grey or blue. The more the better.

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (AP) - From living in a top-secret city on a mesa in northern New Mexico to smuggling a suitcase packed with alcohol into a dry federal research lab in Tennessee, some of the lesser-known stories behind the nation's effort to develop the atomic bomb are now available online.
The Atomic Heritage Foundation and the Los Alamos Historical Society say the "Voices of the Manhattan Project" website is aimed at creating a central repository for the oral histories surrounding the tightly guarded World War II-era project.
While many previous examinations of the mission to create the atomic bomb, this retelling of the Manhattan Project isn't told from the perspective of star scientists and well-known generals, said Heather McClenahan, executive director of the Los Alamos Historical Society.
From testimonies about personal moral dilemmas on dropping the bomb to a glassblower talking about helping a frustrated Nobel Prize-winning physicist change a flat tire, the interviews seek to give a social history of the Manhattan Project.
"These were real people just doing their jobs and trying to end the war," McClenahan said.
The voices come from a variety of places, including Hanford, Wash., and Oak Ridge, Tenn. - which played prominent roles in the project.
In one testimony, Idaho native Larry Denton, who worked as a shipping clerk and reactor operator in Hanford said he was surprised see racial segregation between whites and blacks at the full-scale plutonium production plant.
"I'd never been around black people, and they had black people segregated from the whites. That didn't make sense to me," he remembered. "But that was a fact and they accepted it and the whites accept it."
In another video, Rebecca Bradford Diven, who developed a quartz fiber microbalance to weigh extremely small amounts of plutonium at Los Alamos, said women with children at the site were encouraged to work and received help from workers of nearby Pueblo Indian villages.
"The Army furnished transportation to go through the villages and the Pueblos to pick up day workers, laborers, janitors, Indian women to come up for maid service for apartments, and there was an office maintained," she said.
Veronica Taylor, of the Nez Perce Tribe, spoke in another video how life changed for American Indians in ancestral lands after the Hanford project got going.
"Those were hard things for us because I have never ever been approached by a military police person that had a gun in his hand and said, 'You can't go this way. You go back. Turn around and go back because you can't go on this road'," Taylor said.
Some of the testimonies come from an earlier video project that is no longer in print, McClenahan said. Other testimonies were collected by the Atomic Heritage Foundation and are being digitized.
So far, 25 oral histories have been posted on the website and more are scheduled to be linked in the coming months.
Jason N. Krupar, a history professor at University of Cincinnati who has researched race relations during the making of the atomic bomb, said these new oral histories help give the public a better understand of the 150,000 or so people who were involved with the Manhattan Project.
"We need to hear from the glassblower in Oak Ridge and the construction worker in Los Alamos," said Krupar. "All played a role. It wasn't just about the stars."
Robert S. Norris, a senior fellow at the Federation of American Scientists and author of "Racing for the Bomb: General Leslie R. Groves, The Manhattan Project's Indispensable Man," said that the public remains fascinated about the Manhattan Project because it changed everything about warfare. Still, he said more research needs to be done on the "forgotten voices" who helped make the project a success.
"The time is ripe for articles and books on women, minorities, and children who were involved in the project," he said. "Not too much is written about them."

And what has our president done to deserve this lofty honor? Why, in the words of an infamous "Saturday Night Live" sketch, nothing, absolutely nothing. I'll come back to that hilarious skit in a moment. But first, let's look a little closer at the curious timing of Obama's award.
Did you know that the Nobel Committee's own regulations require that all nominations be postmarked by Feb. 1? This means that — if the rules were followed — Barack Obama was nominated for a Nobel Peace Prize a mere 12 days after he was sworn into office.
Twelve days in office and he's already being considered for a Nobel Peace Prize? Give me a break! Does anyone anywhere really believe that this is how it actually happened?
Let me suggest something that strikes me as incredibly obvious: The Nobel Committee broke its own rules to give Obama the award. Can't you imagine a committee meeting with someone shouting the Norwegian equivalent of "Rules? Rules? We don't need no stinkin' rules."
And of course it's true. When it comes to honoring one of their own, and advancing the cause of their dubious socialist schemes, the elitists of the international left don't need no stinkin' rules. They can do whatever they want. That's why they hate the very idea of being bound down by the chains of a constitution. These power-hungry sycophants always and everywhere love monopolies and dictatorships, so long as it's one of their own who is in charge. That's why they are so enraptured with the United Nations.
But I digress. The plain and simple fact is that this year's selection was rigged. This is far from the first time that the noble idea of a "peace prize" was prostituted to serve the ignoble ambitions of the left.
Do you remember in 1994, when the Nobel Committee gave the honor to a thief and murderer named Yasser Arafat? It's true that Arafat shared the award with the then-prime minister and foreign minister of Israel. But still, giving a "peace" prize to the father of modern terrorism? Arafat gloated about using the most heinous murder of innocent civilians to advance his aims.
Oh, by the way, he also stole tens of millions of dollars from the very Palestinians he supposedly led to finance a life of luxury on the French Riviera and various world capitals. In a sane world, he would have been tried for murder and executed.
Instead, he was the most frequent visitor to Bill Clinton's White House among all so-called world leaders. What a travesty.
If that wasn't enough to make you rush to the nearest vomitorium, how about the winners in 1973? In case you've forgotten, that's when Secretary of State Henry Kissinger and North Vietnam's Lu Duc Tho shared the award for negotiating the Vietnam peace accords. If you remember that Communists describe "peace" as "when all opposition has been eliminated," then you'll have to admit the committee got it right: Kissinger and gang made sure all opposition to a communist takeover of South Vietnam got slaughtered. Way to go, Mr. Secretary.
But you don't have to be a mass murderer, or even open the door to it, to be honored by the Nobel Committee. Slavish devotion to the left's latest cause is often enough. How else would you explain the selection two years ago of former Vice President Al Gore? Even if you bought into all the skewed science and deliberate deceptions in "An Inconvenient Truth," can you really contend with a straight face that he deserved a Nobel Peace Prize?
Well, okay, I'll grant you. He has done more to earn it than our Teleprompter-in-Chief. But that's not saying much.
By an extraordinary coincidence, two days before the award was announced, "Saturday Night Live" opened its Oct. 3 show with a skit skewering Barack Obama for accomplishing "nothing, absolutely nothing" since Inauguration Day.
In case you missed it, the sketch featured actor Fred Armisen portraying the president and delivering a very sober speech to the American public. Here's just part of that delicious put-down:
There are those on the right who are angry. They think that I'm turning this great country into something that resembles the Soviet Union or Nazi Germany. But that's just not the case. When you look at my record, it's very clear what I've done so far — and that is nothing. Nada. Almost one year and nothing to show for it.
As he spoke, a checklist of promises appeared on the screen — global warming, immigration reform, gays in the military, limits on executive power, torture prosecutions, closing Guantanamo Bay, withdrawing from Iraq, healthcare reform, and so on. Armisen, as Obama, admitted very honestly how little his administration had accomplished.
"Remember," he said. "I can do whatever I want. I have a majority in both houses of Congress. I could make it mandatory for all gays to marry, and require all cars to run on marijuana. But do I? NO!"
He then closed with this wonderful admission: "So looking at this list, I'm seeing two big accomplishments: JACK and SQUAT!"
You've got to admit, sometimes the liberals get it right.
Until next time, keep some powder dry.

I've written before about our house cow:
House Cow FAQs
House Cow Journey Part One
House Cow Journey Part Two
House Cow Journey Part Three
House Cow Journey Continues
It's been over two years since we first brought Lucy home and we're feeling more confident about raising our own cattle these days. The timeline of our journey (if you don't want to read everything above) goes like this...
We brought Lucy, a pure Jersey cow of a few years of age, here to our 42 acre farm from a dairy. She was in calf to a Wagyu (beef breed) and had never been hand milked, halter-led etc before. We also got Honey, a pure Jersey heifer, from another dairy at the same time, just a couple of weeks old. Lucy raised that calf (begrudgingly), and after she was weaned she had a break, then delivered her Wagyu-cross bull calf named Wags whom we later steered. I got another pure Jersey heifer, Poppy, to raise alongside this calf.
They weaned and we had mixed success with milking Lucy that lactation. Awhile after she was AIed we sent her out into the large paddock for a break. During this time we cared for (and milked) someone else's cow for a few months. We also had the butcher in for the steer calf, Wags (at 20 months). Honey went to live with my friend and had her own heifer on her 2nd birthday (a surprise beef X - neighbour's bull!).
|Mimi and Lucy
The delivery of Lucy's second calf on our farm went smoothly. I went out to the shops after lunch one day, and when I drove back in the driveway there was a calf at her feet. The delivery of the placenta, her feeding the calf, first milkings etc all went very smoothly. It's hard to tell if that's luck, experience or good management though!
|Mimi and Lucy
|Baby Mimi
Looking back, the first months with our house cow were the hardest. It was a huge learning curve and we were having a dry spell so feed was expensive. Feed doesn't ever cost over $20 per week now, during peak milking/feed times. I switched to chaff (oaten/lucerne) over bales of hay to reduce waste (stalks flicked onto the floor by Lucy). I still give a little steam rolled (micronised) barley at milking time only. We found a bulk source of seaweed meal which makes it much more affordable and so tend to give this valuable supplement more generously. We use natural sprays for flies, balms for udder etc as per suggestions on The Family Cow forum. We mix these up ourselves from ingredients bought in bulk. We use diatomaceous earth (DE) in the feed buckets for about 4 days around the full moon each month as a worming preventative. We also dust it on for ticks and flies and sprinkle in the bedding area as required.
I'm always seeking the best way, asking questions, reading books, articles and forums when I have questions no one knows the answer to. Trying different things with my cattle, and being as present as possible - checking them over daily so that any health problems are immediately recognised. A lot of what I do is quite different from standard dairying practice in my area. But when you're working with a very small herd, you can afford the time and resources to do things differently.
Timing of holidays is really tricky with a house cow. Recently we had a two month break of no milking, and I really should have taken advantage of that more. It still took some effort to arrange for people to look after our pets and other farm animals, but it's really tricky to get someone in to milk a cow! When thinking about weaning a calf, drying off a cow, timing of AI, etc - we try to time this to best suit family commitments. And these things don't happen overnight, so spontaneity can go out the window somewhat!
When others ask me about having a house cow, I strongly suggest that unless they are really passionate about it, and willing to spend a lot of time with their cow, don't bother. Even though these past couple of years of raising our own cattle have been so very rewarding for me, I know it's not for everyone, especially in today's fast-paced society.
cow - adult female bovine who has had a calf, generally over 2 years of age
bull - adult male bovine who has not been castrated
steer - male bovine who has been castrated
heifer - young female bovine, who hasn't calved
AI - artificial insemination - how to get a calf when you don't own a bull
colostrum - first milk

Find the right golf shoe for your game.
We recently asked you what questions you would like us to ask the Tour players at the Deutsche Bank Championship and got some great responses. Mondo wanted to know how they maintain their concentration throughout the round, drewb6108 wanted to know how often they change their gloves and golfchick, memphisunited and fairwaytoheaven had some questions about style. Well, we asked and they answered! Click on the image below to see their responses. What other questions do you have for the players?
Thanks to everyone who participating in the third FJ Challenge. Despite making this one even more difficult than the previous two, we were once again very impressed with the caliber of answers. Banderson is the winner of a new FootJoy ProDry Superlite golf shirt! We'll be doing another contest soon, so stay tuned. Click below to see the players unveiled.
[Gallery: fj_challenge_3_answers]
Once again, we're testing your knowledge of FJ players on Tour based solely on their footwear. Can you identify these 11 players who help make FootJoy the #1 shoe in golf? First person to guess all 11 correctly will win a prize (sorry, U.S. residents only).
Click on COMMENTS to submit your guess.
We asked a group of our Tour players who they thought was totally styling in their FJ's and received a very wide range of answers. Ultimately, though, it came down to a battle between two of our most prominent players....click on the image to see who received the most votes then click on COMMENT and tell us who you think is styling in their FJ's!

With only one week remaining until the world's best tee it up at Bethpage Black for the U.S. Open, we read this article in the New York Times about the unique process that allows amateur golfers to play the same course the pros will play. While the rules can be somewhat confusing, ultimately, the best way for you to secure a tee time on the Black course is to spend a night, maybe more, in your car to snag one of the walk-up tee times. You don't have to "know someone," you don't have to empty your bank account...you just have to be dedicated and maybe a little lucky.
So we want to know...would you do it? Would you sleep in your car for the chance to play a U.S Open course? If you have done it, we would love to hear about it. Just click on COMMENTS.
Thanks to everyone who participated in our second FJ Challenge and congratulations to Eric W who just came in with the correct answers. Stay tune for the next challenge.

Earl of DBStalk really loves TV. He (and people like him) is the reason why DirecTV invented this 26-pound satellite TV box that lets you get satellite television anywhere. If you're asking yourself who would actually lug this thing around when they go camping, vacationing, or traveling, you're obviously not in the target "8 hours of TV a day" audience.
The LCD unit connects to the satellite receiver, which also has additional inputs in case you're carrying around a PS3 or an Xbox 360 with you as well. Head over to dbstalk to get more impressions of what you'd get with this system. On the bright side, Earl says the briefcase has a "James Bond" feel to it, which unfortunately gets washed away as soon as you pull out the TV and start watching Two and a Half Men.

Then-South African President Thabo Mbeki, right, and former president Nelson Mandela toast in the new millennium on Robben Island in Cape Town, South Africa, on Jan. 1, 2000..
(AP Photo / Obed Zilwa)
By Vandy Kanyeko
I was saddened when n
filtered through on Thursday. The announcement jolted me like lightning, bringing back a flood of memories. I was a teenager in Sierra Leone, West Africa, when Madiba (the father) was released from prison in February 1990 after 27 years of incarceration. I do remember that day vividly mainly because throngs of people took to the streets in raucous celebration. The spontaneous street parties carried on into the early morning hours. At the time, even though the name did resonate with me, the significance of the event and the import of his contributions to humanity did not immediately sink in.
That was to come a decade later when in 2001 as part of a delegation of peace activists, we visited the
where he was incarcerated. As I peered through the railings into what was once his cell and toured the facility where he toiled in the sun breaking stones, I could not help but wonder how a man could live through 18 years of such hellish experience and still come out thumping his fist in the air, smiling and demonstrating a willingness to embrace his tormentors.
This was Mandela, the man, the icon. The capacity to turn despair into hope, tragedy into opportunity and setback into a positive learning experience was what made him unique. In prison he learned Afrikaans, the language of his white oppressors. At his inauguration in 1994 he invited one of his jailers. It is little surprise, therefore, that from China, to Russia, to the United States and to my native Sierra Leone, the whole world is in mourning. The somber mood and genuine outpouring of grief is prompted by the realization that the world has lost a true global citizen, a pillar of peace and a symbol of hope for humanity.
At 95, Madiba's death came as no surprise. He has been seriously ill for the last six months. Most of the medical complications and ailments he suffered in later life (lung infection, kidney failure) emanated from the back-breaking labor on the quarry on Robben Island. His vision and sense of hearing were all but gone. When he was discharged from a Pretoria hospital in September of this year few expected him to make it through the first week. But against all odds, he pulled through. After the media clamor had died down and his squabbling relatives had reached a truce, he passed away peacefully in his home in Johannesburg. Like the clever tactician and strategist he was, he had the last say on how and when he bowed out.
His autobiography
occupies a place of pride among my book collections. As a scholar of conflict resolution
, human rights, forgiveness, reconciliation, negotiation, diplomacy, and non-violence the life and times of Nelson Mandela provides my students and me rich material. Through his initiative South Africa gave the world the Truth and Reconciliation Commission, a justice seeking mechanism that has now become standard practice in post-conflict reconciliation.
Mandela was many things to many people: visionary, reconciler, freedom fighter, and as South Africa's first democratically elected president, the father of its nascent democracy. He was a role model for government leaders in Africa in particular and the world in general. He willingly handed over power in 1999 after only one term, a rare occurrence in Africa. As a 1993 Nobel peace prize winner, he was an icon, a larger than life personality who embodied the ideals of freedom, peace and justice for oppressed peoples everywhere. He will forever be remembered for successfully guiding his country through some of its most tumultuous times.
Yet he was human, with all the frailties and fallibility that comes with it. Though of royal heritage, he grew up dirt poor in the then Cape Province. To make the best of a disadvantaged upbringing he embarked on a nomadic life, bouncing around the country working menial jobs, studying and learning to lead. He eventually settled in Johannesburg, where he set up practice as a lawyer in 1943, and later as a freedom fighter. He had a complicated marital life. He was married three times, the last at the ripe old age of 80. He briefly dallied with violence when he co-founded Umkhonto Me Sizwe (The Spear of the Nation) in 1961, which became the armed wing of the African National Congress. He quickly realized that the use of violence was counterproductive to the larger struggle. He changed course and embarked on strategic non-violence and civil disobedience to discredit and eventually bring down the apartheid regime.
The legacy of Nelson Mandela is best encapsulated in this quotation at the Rivonia trials in 1964 which eventually sent him to life imprisonment.
"I have fought against white domination, and I have fought against black domination," he told the court. "I have cherished the ideal of a democratic and free society in which all persons will live together in harmony and with equal opportunities. It is an ideal for which I hope to live for and to see realized. But my lord, if it needs be, it is an ideal for which I am prepared to die."
Nelson Mandela the man is dead. Long live Mandela the visionary, the reconciler, the peacemaker!

If you are interested in receiving bankruptcy advice in the UK, make certain to get in touch with our team today using the contact form provided and we will get back to you as soon as possible.
Going bankrupt can be scary. But with the help of our team we can offer the very best assistance to ensure you receive the best advice and make the situation a lot easier.
When declaring bankruptcy it is a good idea to get an opinion from a professional. For more information, please contact our team.
We provide the very best bankruptcy advice in Haylands PO33 3 and can provide expert details on debt solutions.
Having substantial amounts of debt can seem like a long tunnel with no light at the end. However, there will always be a solution as long as you get the right kind of advice.
If your debts have reached the point where you can no longer realistically pay them and your fees and charges are outweighing your payments, then perhaps you need some advice.
This solution must only be considered as a last resort as there are serious implications that come with it. Having said that, it is a great way to substantially clear your mind of worry and massively reduce your debts. Read on for more bankruptcy advice or get in touch for a more personal response.
Let's start with the obvious question; what is bankruptcy? It is a form of insolvency. This means that you are no longer in a position to pay the debts that you have and need help from the courts to sort of your finances. In Scotland, the process is known as sequestration - https://www.finance-near-me.co.uk/debt/sequestration/isle-of-wight/haylands/.
There are a few different forms, but the type that is applied for most often involves all the interest, fees and charges being frozen for a year. After the year has expired all the debts that were included in the process will be written off, including the charges, fees and interest.
Our local team in Haylands PO33 3 (https://www.finance-near-me.co.uk/isle-of-wight/haylands/) can offer bankruptcy advice nearby you and in surrounding areas to get a solution closest to your needs. If you are interested in our help, please complete the contact form provided.
Now that you have a basic idea, let's go into how bankruptcies work. The process can only be done online. You can do this yourself or you can use a debt management expert to do it for you.
Before you enter into this it is strongly recommended that you take advice from a debt management expert first. This is because of the negatives attached to it that you must be made aware of.
Going bankrupt gives you the potential to be free of debt in twelve months but there are some negatives that you will seriously need to consider before going ahead;
There are various types of bankruptcies, including:
Bearing in mind the considerable drawbacks, you may be wondering is bankruptcy the best option for me? This is not easy to answer because everyone's financial situation is different, so what may be best for one person may not be suitable for the next person.
You should seek advice from a debt management specialist if you are considering this. They will have the expertise to decide if it is the best option for you.
Declaring yourself as bankrupt in Haylands PO33 3 may be the best decision you ever make. Regardless of whether you become debt-free or still have to make a contribution to your creditors each month, your outgoings will be slashed.
This can infinitely reduce your stress levels and give you the chance to start again without the burden of crippling debts hanging over you.
Bankruptcy lawyers are the people to speak to if you need advice on any form of insolvency or bankruptcy advice. They have the expertise and the knowledge to steer you in the right direction, and they can also act on your behalf should you wish them to.
There are other options too, including arrangement schemes https://www.finance-near-me.co.uk/debt/arrangement-scheme/isle-of-wight/haylands/ and more.
We can recommend excellent lawyers who will treat your case with the attention and respect it deserves. Just complete our contact form for more information.
Once it has been confirmed by the courts then your name will be placed onto the register. Also known as the Individual Insolvency Register, this information will be available to the public for the duration of the insolvency. The details are usually removed three months after the bankruptcy has been concluded.
This means that members of the public can find out your financial situation should they wish to find out. The chances of this happening are slim but if this bothers you then it's something to else to seriously consider when thinking about this as a debt management solution.
Contact us if we can be of assistance with any kind of bankruptcy advice in Haylands PO33 3 and recommendations for lawyers or help when becoming bankrupt. Our team can give you expert advice on all of the above and more and are confident they can provide you with the very best debt management care.

Third ingredient is a named meat product
Inadequate meat content, mixed quality grains, fillers
This product is a veterinary diet. Our comments relate solely to our opinion of the ingredients used in this product and cannot replace medical advice relating to disease.
The main ingredient in this food is a grain. Even if of good quality, grains are not a natural foodstuff for a canine, and dog foods should be based on meat. The sole meat product in the food does not occur until third on the ingredient list. This is a named meat product in meal form, but with low placement in the ingredients listing, we have doubts that this product has adequate meat content.
The primary ingredients in the food are rice and corn. Rice is generally a good quality grain, but corn is a low quality grain in dog food products, that is difficult to digest and commonly associated with food allergy problems. In gluten form, this ingredient is a low quality filler. It is the dried residue from wheat after the removal of the larger part of the starch and germ, and the separation of the bran by the process employed in the wet milling manufacture, or by enzymatic treatment of the endosperm. In plain English, that bit of the grain leftover after most of the nutritious bits have been removed.Cellulose is purified, mechanically disintegrated cellulose prepared by processing alpha cellulose obtained as a pulp from fibrous plant materials: otherwise known as sawdust. A further grain in the food is wheat, which although not a grain fragment in this food is still not a desirable ingredient. Wheat is believed by many to be the number one cause of food allegies in dogs. The ulls of rice is a further filler in this food.
Overall, the product is primarily a collection of mixed-quality grains and fillers. There is very little meat content for the canine.

The Brumbies may have removed 'ACT' from their name, but what will it take for the Canberra public to revive its passion and tribalism for its football teams?
Just two days out from their first final in nine years, fewer than 13,000 tickets have been sold for the Brumbies do-or-die clash with the Cheetahs at Canberra Stadium.
And the Raiders have also struggled to fill the stands despite winning its last 11 games at home, including all seven this season.
Is it the cold, inclement weather? Is the comfort of sitting on the couch out of the elements to watch the game live on Fox Sports too tempting to resist?
Are ticket prices too high? Is juggling junior sport commitments and attending a Brumbies or Raiders game on the same weekend not time friendly?
Does our expat population's home state allegiances affect our ability to unite as one?
Is it a combination of all of the above?
Brumbies coach Jake White, from rugby-mad South Africa, remains bemused the tickets haven't sold like hot cakes.
A Canberra Stadium-record 28,753 fans packed the stands in 2004 when the Brumbies beat the Crusaders in the Super Rugby final at Canberra Stadium.
The city was decked in blue and gold, the only ticket in town as the community took ownership of their team.
Back then the side was littered with legends like George Gregan, Stephen Larkham, Matt Giteau and Joe Roff.
The Wallabies were in the midst of one of their most successful eras. They were winning, and the crowds responded.
After restoring itself as a Super Rugby heavyweight after years of hardship, the Brumbies don't deserve to run out in a half empty stadium.
The Brumbies circa-2013 has less household names, a lower profile bunch who have embraced Jake White's no-nonsense culture.
And yes, this isn't a grand final, and the South African sides are traditional poor drawers in Canberra. But surely they deserve far more support than they're receiving?
This year they have scored 11 more tries than Queensland, regarded as one of the competition's most attractive attacking teams, in winning the Australian conference title.
They average 28 points a game and comprise a back-line brimming with young, game-breaking talent.
Last year 24,450 fans watched the Raiders beat the Sharks 34-16 in a cut-throat final at Canberra Stadium.
They won eight of their last ten matches to earn a home semi. Plenty of fans who had given up hope a couple of months earlier were caught up in the euphoria of their fairy tale run.
The Brumbies run to the finals this year has been less dramatic. They've been flying high all season, and haven't needed a backs-to-the-wall revival which had the city wrapped in 'Green Machine' fever in 2012.
Are the Brumbies suffering from a fan 'let-down' after the excitement surround the Wallabies-Lions series?
Last week's poor loss to Western Force was their first Super Rugby game in a month. Supporters may be struggling to re-focus on club football, a let-down of sorts.
Rugby is also suffering from a perception amongst the wider community it's 'boring'. The non-hardcore fans, or fly-by-nighters, bemoan the penalty goal shoot-outs some games become, the constant stoppages in play and repacked scrums.
But the Brumbies have qualified for their biggest game in nearly a decade by playing attacking, running rugby.
There's also plenty of sub-plots within this Brumbies side which should translate to bums on seats.
There's Jesse Mogg, a newly-capped Wallaby plucked from obscurity playing in the local competition just last year.
There's club legend George Smith, who is preparing for his likely Canberra Stadium swansong. There's Clyde Rathbone, who made a comeback this year after retiring through injury in 2009, and a subsequent depression battle.
Yes, single figure maxiumum temperatures are tipped for Canberra on Sunday.
But after restoring itself as a Super Rugby heavyweight after years of hardship, the Brumbies don't deserve to run out in a half empty stadium.
It's time to rug up, rediscover our tribalism and, unofficially, put 'ACT' back into the Brumbies.

CONCORD — Students at New Hampshire's seven community colleges will see lower tuition bills starting in the fall, 2014 academic year.
The Community College System board of trustees announced Wednesday a five percent tuition reduction, bringing the in-state per credit cost to $200 from its present level of $210. A three-credit course will cost $600, down from $630. For an in-state student taking a minimum full-time course load of 12 credits per semester, annual tuition costs will drop from $5,040 to $4,800.
The tuition reduction was announced as New Hampshire's community colleges enhance their focus on preparing more New Hampshire residents with 21st century skills and providing affordable college-to-career pathways.
New Hampshire's community colleges offer two-year associate degree programs and short-term certificate programs in a wide variety of career fields, linked to industry sectors with strong labor market demand including information technology, health care, business, hospitality, engineering technology, education and advanced manufacturing.
Additionally, more than half the students who enroll in New Hampshire's community colleges intend to pursue transfer to a four-year school after earning an associate degree or some number of credits at the community colleges. Making the first two years more affordable will be a boost for students and families and increase the supply of skilled workers available for businesses across the state.
The reduction also came after the governor and state legislature restored funding to the community college system that had been cut in the previous state budget. Paul Holloway, chairman of the board of trustees, said "We committed to the Governor and Legislature that investing in the community colleges would help New Hampshire families and New Hampshire's economy. Last year, we froze tuition. We are reducing tuition for the upcoming year. We have invested in programs like advanced manufacturing and health professions, which helps employers fill high-skilled jobs and strengthens our state's economy. And we focused on innovation and efficiencies that help us achieve our mission more cost effectively for students, families and taxpayers. "
New Hampshire Gov. Maggie Hassan also welcomed the tuition reduction. "Making higher education more affordable for all of our families is one of my highest priorities as we work to build a stronger workforce that will lead to innovative economic growth," she said. "I applaud the leadership of the Community College System of New Hampshire for their decision to reduce tuition and their continued commitment to the success of our students. This important step forward for our workforce builds on the progress we made in last year's bipartisan budget to restore investments in higher education in exchange for a tuition freeze." (To see Gov. Hassan's full statement on the community college tuition reduction, go to www.nh.gov).
Ross Gittell, chancellor of the community college system, said that he and system leaders have been modeling a tuition reduction scenario and were ready to announce the reduction now, instead of making a decision in June as in years past. "Reducing tuition and bending the cost curve in higher education helps students and their families fit a college education in their budgets," Gittell said. "Whether students come to the community colleges to train for a career, or as a first step in a four-year college pathway, affordability is essential to their ability to succeed." Gittell highlighted the fact that students with an associate degree earn on average 28 percent more than those with only a high school education in New Hampshire. And students who transfer from a community college to a four-year college do as well as those who start out at a four-year college. Gittell noted that the community colleges and the University System of New Hampshire, as well as other colleges throughout the region, have worked in recent years on making transfers easier.
Community colleges in the state have frozen tuition in four of the past nine years, and system leaders expect Wednesday's announcement to send a strong message to potential students.
Adam Moy, a second-year student at Manchester Community College (MCC) and a student member of the board of trustees, knows how important saving money on tuition can be to his fellow students. "It may enable someone who is only taking one or two classes at a time to take a heavier course load and graduate sooner," said Moy. "Or a person considering college will see that the community colleges are working hard to keep costs down, and will feel more confident about making the leap and enrolling. As a student I've been very impressed with the quality of the education and the doors that open to community college graduates."
Moy, who lives in Manchester, is earning an associate degree in business communications and plans to take advantage of the business degree transfer agreement between MCC and Southern New Hampshire University which allows him to transfer 90 credits, enabling him to complete a bachelor's degree with just one year of university costs.
The New England regional program rate will be $300 per credit, and the out-of-state rate will be $450 per credit, down from $315 and $478 respectively. Ninety-five percent of students at the state's community colleges are New Hampshire residents.
New Hampshire's community colleges are accepting registrations now for the fall semester, which begins Sept. 2. Links to all colleges can be found at www.ccsnh.edu.

Former WCCW and Jim Crockett valet "The Perfect 10" Baby Doll Nickla Roberts joined Kayfabe Wrestling Radio Tuesday Night. In a nearly 20 minute interview, she talked about her family history with professional wrestling in Texas, how she personally got into the business, if she had any idea the WCCW was becoming a big deal, if Tully Blanchard or Gino Hernandez was more fun to be at ringside with, if Gino could have been the heir apparent to Ric Flair or been big outside of Texas, was there ever a fear of trying to make it out of town being so hated, how it was being a female in the territory days, her reaction on the CM Punk/fan incident, the epic Steel Cage "I Quit" match from Starrcade '85 between Blanchard and Magnum TA, and more.
Her family history in the wrestling business: "Well, both of my parents were professional wrestlers. My dad had a promotion, actually, out in west Texas; my dad promoted Lubbock while Tully's daddy promoted San Antonio. My dad promoted Lubbock for well over 20 years; we actually, Lubbock was part of the Amarillo territory. We'd use some of the San Antonio guys a little bit when I was more like in high school but when I was growing up, we used the guys from Amarillo: the Funks (Terry and Dory), (Ted) DiBiase, (Dick) Murdock came in, Dusty Rhodes came in. I mean, for about 15 years, everybody came through the cause there were territories and you would work territories for about 6 months to a year and then you'd pack up and go somewhere else. So, we had everybody through there, so I grew up seeing wrestling every week on Wednesday night and then, on the summertime, cause we had school and didn't get to go to the matches during school time, but we got to go a couple of time during the summertime when we were little kids and then on Saturday afternoon, I got to see my dad promote our shows for every week; so my dad was on TV every week. And then, whenever TBS came on, that was the magic I guess to see because this was back in the day before everyone had cable; there were grids set up in towns, where every month you could call in and find out if cable was available for your house and I was calling up every month to see when I could get cable because I wanted to see WTBS, I wanted to see Georgia Championship Wrestling on the Superstation on every Saturday night at 5:00 and I made it my weekends to watch wrestling."
How she got into involved in the business: "I had a chance; I guess we were using the Von Erichs at the time. I was going to school full time; I was studying to be a paramedic, I was working full time for my dad and had another full-time job and I heard my parents talking that they were looking for a girl for Gino Hernandez. At the time, I had a huge crush on Gino; I had a crush on Gino since I was 14 or 1, and I got the wild idea to call the Dallas office and see if maybe they could use me. And the phone call was made at the right time and the right place. David Manning answered the phone call and they were just about to go into a meeting about some upcoming shows and it was like perfect timing; it was like the stars had aligned and it was kismet and this was meant to be. I got a phone call about 20 minutes later that said 'Yes, we can use you. We love the idea. We want to get started on this immediately; And who's gonna tell your Daddy?" So, I had to sit down and tell my parents that I was going to quit school and move to Dallas and chase after professional wrestlers, which didn't really go over too well, but it worked out very well for the time being; I had a couple of good years, I had a good run at it and at the time I met Sam (Houston), fell in love and had a couple of kids and got out, got back in and here I am now."
Who was more fun to be out at ringside with: "Tully Blanchard or Gino Hernandez- "I mean, Tully and I just from the get go, I mean when you look at the first tape we did, like with Mike Davis when we did, like the first TV and videos we did; when I first came off the plane and we rode off in the limousine; Tully and I just, we just had a natural chemistry. To this day, I don't think that we really ever had harsh words or yelled and screamed at each other; I mean it's almost like we've had a perfect relationship. There's been a respect since the start; I've learned so much from him and that was the whole key to that. I was brought in as an equal to him, which had never even been done before and Tully fought for me on this; was that, whatever happened in the match, it happened to all of us. No one had more than the other one and if you look at it, not one of us did more than the other. If we did something, like I handed something to Tully or … it was all so magical; it was perfect and it all just worked so well for the two years I was there. These guys were so smart. You had Dusty's genius of putting all these guys together, cause if you look at the mass of talent that Dusty brought in; that we were running two or three towns a night, every night, it was just crazy. We had like an A Team and a B Team and a C Team, but when you look at the cards, neither card was better than the other; people were getting amazing wrestling action in this time. And with Tully and I, it was just people hated us and it was cool to be driving down the road from Atlanta to Charlotte and people would pass us and we'd pass them and we would get recognized in our car, going 70 miles an hour down the road and Tully was like that had never happened to him before. He said 'This is magic baby, this is magic. We're gonna make some money so get ready for the ride.' I still remember that to this day. People were pointing at us and shaking their fists at us because they hate us and we're just driving down the road. It was crazy, it was really fun and I was very lucky to be where I was at."
Her reaction to the CM Punk Fan Incident: "Number one: you never go out into the crowd, never. I mean, you're fair game. That's the way I look at it; Punk went up into the audience and he's their number one heel. That's pretty much throwing the peasants to the lions; you know what I'm saying? I can't say that the fan was wrong, because we've got them all hyped up and yea, yea, yea. He wasn't doing anything except for hitting him; it wasn't like he was getting punched or anything, he just got a flat hand to the head. Punk had no reason to hit the guy, I mean seriously. Punk went up into the audience. Number one, where was the security; that was my main beef with it, because if security was with him, if he had two or three guys around him and followed him up there to back people off so they couldn't touch him, then it wouldn't have happened. So my deal is, whosever big idea it was to have Punk go up into the audience; that was stupid. If it was Punk's idea, he got what he deserves because you never go out in the audience. Number two, where was security? If those two questions got answered then I think we've figured out what it was but going to and from the ring, I was never went out and looked for a fight. You know? I was going out to do my job. Punk went out and up into the audience and you never ever, ever; that was one thing we were always taught was never go out there because you're asking to get hurt but if someone came over the guard rail or came into the ring, then that's our territory; you asked for what you got. It's kind of like the same thing, if a fan comes over the guard rail, you're ours; same thing if we go over the guard rail, we're asking for whatever we get.

ADDISON – It's been almost three years since Addison resident Denise A. Pancyrz found herself hospitalized with a pancreatitis attack and a newfound Type 2 diabetes diagnosis.
"I knew my blood sugar levels were going up," Pancyrz said.
The size 8 woman didn't think she was in danger, though. She figured she was getting older and her body just wasn't what it used to be, until her hospital visit in November 2010.
With her diabetes diagnosis came oral medication and four shots of insulin. Doctor after doctor warned her that she would require more and more insulin as she aged.
"I started asking more and more questions of the doctors," Pancyrz said.
She said she kept getting the same answers, even after she broke down in a diabetes educator's office begging for an alternative. Pancyrz promised she would follow any diet or regiment, but everyone told her she would depend on drugs for the rest of her life.
Frustrated, Pancyrz began journaling about her experience, and this year she published a book born from her journals. "The Virgin Diabetic" follows Pancyrz's path to health through nutrition, not medicine.
About six months after her diagnosis, Pancyrz found two doctors willing to help her explore other options.
"It was really a process of learning that you just needed to make a lifestyle change," Pancyrz said.
With the support of her husband, Larry Pancyrz, the couple revamped their lifestyle, cutting out wheat, and adding in exercise. Denise Pancyrz not only tested her own blood sugar six times a day, but her husband's as well.
"Our motto is, if it's in a bag or a box, we typically don't buy it," Denise Pancyrz said.
More than two years later, she doesn't take any medication or insulin to control her blood sugar. The couple's seasonal allergies have disappeared, and Denise Pancyrz claims to feel better at 50 than she ever did in her 40s.
The idea of making a permanent change was a little overwhelming to the half-Italian woman, who admitted her previous meal plan was full of pasta. But, Pancyrz said she wants others to know healthy lifestyles can be an option to improve chronic diseases. She's given speeches, taken individuals grocery shopping and started another book that will be a guide to setting up a healthy kitchen.
Pancyrz said she titled her book to encourage people, who like herself, might not have a medical background, to take control of their health care and ask questions. While she's now certified in holistic nutrition and homeopathy, she didn't know anything about diabetes when she was diagnosed.
"It doesn't mean you can't learn," she said.
