Gardeners are always looking for new ideas and new plants - "Garden Smart" is unique in that it's a gardeners show and presents new information each week that lets gardeners know what other gardeners are growing and how. Frequently addressed topics include landscape design, household and garden pests and kids gardening.

Ensure the bezel (the 'head' of the light) and tailcap are tightened, then depress the tailcap button fully so that it 'clicks' and the light turns on. The two most commonly used modes are Max and Moonlight, the highest and lowest modes. To access Max, you simply tighten the bezel. To access Moonlight, you just loosen the bezel a half-turn. That's it. You can also cycle through the Quark's other modes just as easily. Lightly depress the button momentarily (you don't need to 'click' it off) and the output will switch to the next mode. The mode sequence is determined by whether the bezel is tightened or loosened: Loosened Bezel: Moonlight -> Low -> Medium -> High -> SOS -> Beacon Tightened Bezel: Max -> Strobe Once the Quark has been turned off for at least three seconds, it will revert to the first level of output in the sequence, either Moonlight or Max.

Handful of Hate
Gruesome Splendour
While Setherial stomped hard on the brakes with their newest album Death Triumphant, Italy's black hearted Handful Of Hate repeatedly nail the gas pedal to the floor and take the most harrowing road possible on Gruesome Splendour in a way I wish Belphegor had on their newest disc. However, I must say the songwriting on this CD is still nowhere in league with either Belphegor or Setherial's newest efforts, despite being a much more intense disc than the other two. Blinding speed and a savage rasping vocal delivery highlight this 9-track slice of nastiness, as things start out pretty fucking strong with the raging inferno blast of "Livid", which leads into the nicely textured and varied "Theory Of Perfection", but then oddness begins to happen.
"Used To Discipline" sounds much more death metal than black, infusing chunkier riffs and deeper melodies among the blastbeaten whirlwind with an almost Hate Eternal level of precision. But this is also where the songwriting begins to falter, as the tune ends abruptly and with no buildup, an occasionally repeated occurrence for the remainder of the disc. "Tied, Whipped…Educated" continues with more variation in pace, and "Grotesque In Pleasure, Rotten In Vice" features a huge, yet basic, slow lurching groove during the first part of the tune before switching up to a sudden blasting midsection, and ending with a return to the lumbering march in ponderously nondescript fashion. It's a little too paint-by-numbers.
Things look up considerably on "Reproach And Blame" when the band wakes up from its midway slumber with more leanings toward dynamically arranged, yet still straightforward technical death complete with abrupt time changes and wicked harmonies. "Whiplaw" also has a brief epic break @ 3:00 which could have been extended, but instead merely returns to a regulation blasting ending. Closer "Ejaculation Dementiae" ends the album with slow, repetitive and timid riffs, an abbreviated vocal segue, and submissive fade-out to conclude more on a limp than a conquering stride. Invariably, this becomes one of those albums full of cool parts, but forgettable individual songs, with no highlights anywhere.
While technically superb and bristling with energy, Gruesome Splendour runs out of fuel by the time it's over, despite its spirited first couple impressions. Handful Of Hate pack plenty of firepower and know how to use it, but their songwriting falls into 'more of the same' territory for the lightning-fast black metal genre (Watain, Marduk, Dark Funeral). I do enjoy when they let some of their death metal influence show since it helps bring across their above-average musicianship, and this is a very good album, but with a little more time and thought this could have been a true monster of a disc. I question its legs for now, but it is still definitely worth checking out, if not owning. Props to Cruz Del Sur for unleashing this blackened abomination.

Catherine Pritchard
Q: Where can I go to find a renter's bill of rights, especially if you're dealing with a derelict property owner? - T.S., Fayetteville
A: You can read the state's landlord and tenant law.
Or look to the N.C. Attorney General's Office for its more reader-friendly nine-page booklet on the subject.
The booklet is available at the attorney general's website: ncdoj.gov/Files/ Consumer/landlord-tenant-booklet.aspx.
Or request a copy by calling 877-566-7226. You can use that number to discuss your situation with the attorney general's consumer protection division.
The landlord-tenant law is Chapter 42 of the N.C. General Statutes, available online at ncleg.net.
Since you speak of a "derelict" landlord, you might want to look particularly at section 42 of that law. It covers a landlord's legal responsibilities to provide "fit premises."
Q: A recent item in the paper referred to a broadcast in 1931 of the opera "Hansel and Gretel" by German composer Engelbert Humperdinck. Was he related to the popular singer of the same name? - S.A., Vass
A: No.
That might seem surprising given the uniqueness of their shared name - until you learn that the singer was born Arnold George Dorsey and originally performed as Gerry Dorsey. He flopped under that name. In the mid-1960s, his managers, who'd changed singer Tommy Woodward's name - to Tom Jones - decided Dorsey needed a new name, too. One knew of the 19th century German composer and proposed it.
"We both thought this was a great name - nobody was ever likely to forget a singer with a name like that," said one in a story in the Daily Mail this year. Though initially reluctant, Dorsey went along with the idea, and success followed, including such No. 1 hits as "Release Me" and "After the Lovin'." Over the years, he has sold more than 150 million records.
Reportedly, he performs only as Engelbert in Germany because the composer's family took action to block his use of Humperdinck there.
The composer died in 1921 at the age of 67. He's best known for "Hansel and Gretel." The singer was born in India 15 years after the composer died. He's 76 and still performs.
Q: Since Carolina American Tours went out of business, are there any other local companies that offer bus tours? - O.S., Hope Mills
A: There are at least a couple: Your Tours Unlimited Inc., 822-3252; and Cross Country Coach, 485-0188.

The entire Diagonal Style 1A apartment exudes style and savoir-vivre. It is a newly refurbished property in a building originally built in 2006. The wood details, together with the tastefully chosen colour combination and modern decorative features, distinguish this apartment from other contemporary apartments with less personality.
The 65 m2 apartment, located on a first floor (with elevator access), is central yet totally quiet thanks to the double glass windows. It has a sunny and spacious living room, with a flatscreen TV with satellite. The fully-equipped, American kitchen in wengé-wood is discretely separated from the dining and living area.

As I write my column tonight my mind goes back to my childhood, growing up on White's Branch, just thinking how things have changed. I went to a one room school house where Miss Gladys Lloyd taught most of her life.
We are so blessed here in our county. We've not had the fires and tornadoes and hurricanes that some people have. They lost their homes and lives. Some people never think about how God is good to us.
This is a movement that may give birth to something more than a phrase.
I'm thinking how people have changed. We have so much today than we had years ago. What if we had to go back to the life style we lived years ago? No electric, no running water, no telephone, no TV, we sure would miss it. We have so much to be thankful for.
Well, folks, it feels like fall weather is here already, cool nights and warm days. The time is passing so swiftly, August is already here.

-- -- -- back in session on the -- today John Travolta fighting back after some X -- allegations surfaced from at least two -- Massage -- tests.
Earlier this week the start was accused of improper sexual conduct at a hotel in Beverly Hills by a -- -- Travolta's lawyer quickly emerged to say the actor wasn't even on the West Coast that day he was in New York.
But now second plaintiff making similar allegations about a separate exchange this -- at an Atlanta resort.
Both of them now suing mr.
Travolta for two million dollars and Travolta's lawyer says.
He's going to counter -- from malicious prosecution.
Joining us now mark I watched former prosecutor now defense attorney and Julia morrow -- defense attorney and former prosecutor herself.
-- -- so -- just set it up for us because these two men.
Did not file criminal complaint and they went her right to the lawyer who could fill their pocketbooks.
And -- -- unlike mr.
Travolta get to remain anonymous.
As they stand behind these allegations.
Yes well first of all let me just enjoy disclaimer I'm a huge Travolta fan and this is purely an intellectual -- I totally agree but I think -- Jackson -- relevant CD you can.
I mean you can't you can't make this stuff -- -- -- -- that are in this complaint yes you are unbelievable the clothes he's wearing.
The car he's driving during the exchanges burgers when he showed up at the bond allow direct quotes like come on dude all -- -- law.
I can't -- and saying hello all I did I do not what we're gonna complain -- of the filed court document but the bottom line is with.
Kind of detail Kirk chances are happened number -- you.
There -- -- -- ending coming up letting -- out right now.
And and they are they going to do you think here and and you know based on that if there's smoke there's fire how many more victims are gonna come -- -- that he did this to them I don't.
We -- how many more victims market the two bit alleged victims we know lot of one says it happened and in LA and and Travolta's lawyer says he can prove beyond a shadow of a doubt that the Travolta wasn't even in LA on that day.
Yeah I'm not too good -- geography but what I do know is when.
This guy is saying this mean the -- that I'll never forget that day it happened on January 16.
At 10 AM and there are flight records showing that that exact time.
John Travolta's on the other side of the country in New York Westchester he led a 3:59 AM and then later that day had a wardrobe fitting also in New York.
And then had dinner -- mr.
Also in New York.
It is physically impossible for him to have committed this horrific abhorrent made up offense.
Number two played it all it's really difficult to find out where Travolta shooting a movie claim that happen to him he never filed a criminal complaint and -- come running out of the -- saying Travolta does this does to me he waited he jumped on the bandwagon actually now we have been doing in Arizona cannot wait for hundreds and -- -- -- tell I have.
No I was gonna say that's actually wrong -- mark just -- the second guy the Atlanta -- them actually did complain.
Because he worked for the hotel where Travolta was -- Megan and he went and told his -- What had happened because Travolta came up and form again dominant spot he told his boss what happened and nothing's done about it -- we did actually make a prompt complaint.
And -- today the alleged alibi.
So the guys off a day Travolta was in LA -- Not I don't I don't know her and really wait a little higher -- these guys are deadlocked -- latest -- a lawyer.
Also says that he's going to be able to disprove the proof that Travolta's lawyers offering.
About Travolta being in New York so they're not saying -- he was off today they're saying no no we're not today and we're gonna we're gonna have.
Prove that this evidence of Travolta being in New York is false that I'll get mitigated out I don't know about -- number one market.
But but -- if number to a separate guy coming forward in Atlanta a different city his -- -- Dare explicit.
I mean this is a lot -- see it is a ridiculous we do -- why I.
That adds that it.
If I don't they have been doing criminal defense and prosecution for twenty years in the best lies are based on those have come into the arena and give incredible detail and you know make some of these people believable.
Had my card I don't want -- don't have any vocals aren't we already have thought we highly and it is what I'm glad they got unbelievable -- All you have to do was -- incredible detail you change something.
If somebody did this to you -- just change it to a deep pocket you say it was John Travolta did it looks like you're telling the truth but you're really not I'm giving the -- the -- I don't know.
Any that ever happened to him whether it was manufactured complete thing of the thing that that got my attention -- was when the lawyer came out and said -- -- I've been contacted he says by scores he says he says he's got.
You know scores of mail massaged there -- -- cartoonists who are coming forward as well and I -- I hope we're gonna find out because not everybody.
It's going to be able to shown to be a liar.
-- that's part of maybe it'll turn into a class action suit from the -- -- the lawyers that that you gathered people from the he's that there had everything in my country are coming forward with him.
Here's -- here's what I wanna know.
It's disturbing to me that these are anonymous plaintiffs who never went to the police who went right to some lawyer who I guess handles a lot of criminal cases.
-- while his lawsuit against against doctoral mark.
And we don't get to know -- they are because their alleged sexual assault victims so John Travolta has his name dragged through the mud.
-- figured American culture.
-- -- we don't get to know when the guys are.
If this is BS.
Do we get to know who these plaintiffs are and tens Travolta successfully -- them.
Yeah I believe that we will know who those people are and unfortunately because you can't squeeze what -- from Iraq.
He'll probably just let it go most of America looks assume that this is not true hopefully will.
I'll move on but.
I would hope so come on really isn't I -- listen -- -- already gone through the mud with his son and and that extortion scenario.
You know we know that that that high profile folks have a bull's -- and a -- while the.
That's the problem release claims -- I'm not saying they're not -- I don't know what the Detroit they're not true but if if they're not true.
You really can't sue if you're public figure it's almost impossible to sue for defamation so now he's been labeled with this you know you know elicits.
Seeking you know Donna is right and handing it off I bet he's -- labelled what -- -- -- if it's not true just not that he can do is there.
Well -- first of all he can't sue for defamation because these allegations are made in the context of litigation which make some sort of privileged.
But what he could do it if he's ultimately successful -- and you have the first win your case.
You can then turn around and see who -- for malicious prosecution and you know filing a -- -- frivolous lawsuit -- Federer Federer.
And it maybe with that -- he would be ultimately vindicated or might be a few you know straddling just believers around the corner there that would publicly the only way he could dedicate himself.
He might be I mean if this guy is right that he's got all these other alleged victims.
We'll find out that the real question today for me is why didn't anybody reported to the police will be right back yet.

I've seen tons of quail though in many different areas....Out off Jayne ave on the way to Coalinga, Tehachapi/Kern, Los Padres, Desert out by palmdale, Gorman, Sequoia forest near Porterville. I've seen them all over. The biggest ones were out in Coalinga....fat suckers out there. Ate a couple of them for dinner last night, probably polish off a few more tonite.
I think you're just having some bad luck. I don't really listen for quail to find them, because a lot of times they are quiet, and the one you hear is just a lost loner trying to regroup anyways. For the most part, I look for terrain that looks good, and just start hiking. Or, I road hunt looking for a loner, and figure there's a covey nearby. I have not been finding them right on top of water. I find them better near rock piles.
I will say that I haven't seen as many up off the 33 as I was expecting. I went up there twice to fish, and didn't see any quail.

The last couple years in southern AZ were bad for Mearns quail. The Mearns is a highly prized quail by diehard quail hunters. Most Mearns hunters travel far for them and spend a lot of time and money in pursuit of them. There has been a lot of hunters of them that are advocating a voluntary moratorium on them due to the harsh drought and dwindling numbers. At least until the drought passes and the numbers rebound.
4-5 years ago we had a severe drought that dwindled the quail population in SoCal. I laid off the few remaining birds on my friend's property at his suggestion. This is up in the Cuyama area. I continued to hunt them in many places new to me across all of SoCal to see if I could find them in good numbers. I found places where the birds had decent or large number coveys. But they were few and far between. When we found them we could often pursue the same covey until we either had our limits or eliminated the covey. We decided to leave most to allow carryover to the next season.

You sore Hoss?
As Hell.
Feel like chasing birds today?
Still alive ain't I? What about you? You feel like chasing them?
Fill the ice chest with liquid muscle relaxers/anti-aging elixir and scout a new canyon instead and see if we see anything?
Awright, but what if we do see something?
I'll try to run it over with the truck.
And if you miss?
We'll think about getting out and chasing it.
Sounds good. Wake me up in an hour........
And that is how we have found many a great hunting spot, not to mention birds where we have been told there are none. Just a thought/suggestion.
And as a side note, these chukar hunters that tell you every year there are none, haha, these are the same kind of guys we heard at the end of the evening while we chased whiskey and heard them tell all how they come out here once a year to hunt chukar. Once a year on opener huh? Now that's dedication . Then ask another member on here how much sign he saw in that same area (that I don't hunt anymore) this year .

I've been out tromping around in the brush more than ever this year and have not seen many quail. This goes for both the public and private land I've been on. All the places I've been have plenty of water and a good food supply. I was talking to a couple of other hunters I ran into yesterday and they had notice the lack of quail on their hunts too. I'm not looking for anybody's honey holes, but I'm just curious if anybody else has noticed this apparent lack of birds?
This year I noticed in the areas I work and hunt the quail did not pair up and have chicks. There is a fair amount of quail around but they are all adult birds.
For the amount of grass and cover we had it really surprised me to not see the birds paired up. There was big coveys of quail during the months that quail would normally be paired up.

I'm sure you meant ducks, right Frank? That's OK, I'll let that one slide
You obviously have not been looking in the right spots, or talking to the wrong people. I know of a couple spots with 2-3 hatchings this year, but again, I hunt over a several hundred mile radius and not just one or two spot/countiesMy understanding is since last year we did not get alot of rain the quail and chukars did not have many hatches.
Supposedly Red Mountain was terrible this year.
Does everyone talk to and believe the same people??? If I had a nickel for every time a chukar hunter told mr it was a "good: year there, I would still be broke . Close your ears, open your mind and eyes, and go check it out!!! That area is NEVER without chukar, I should know, I have hunted it forever. Who ever told you that does not know where to look . Heck, even when they were saying it was a "bad year" many years ago, they still transplanted thousands of them in Nevada to help them flourish. So please tell me again what a "bad year" it is out there

The locals get really pissed at hunters shooting close to their houses.
Yep, the Officer I have come across several times tells me that this is actually their biggest problem up there. He was supposed to roll in five Officers deep this year on opener and really lay down the law on it. Have not seen him since, but curious how it went. The bad part is that the locals are in the right, as most of these dipsticks hunt tight on top of their yards. Sure gives us a bad rap.
On another note, FORGET THE RED MOUNTAIN PART OF RED MOUNTAIN, THERE IS A TON OF DESERT OUT THERE WITH MORE BIRDS THAN YOU CAN SHAKE A STICK AT, EVERY YEAR. DARE TO BE DIFFERENT AND FIND AN AREA WHERE 99.9% OF THE HUNTERS DO NOT GO AND YOU MAY, JUST MAY ACTUALLY FIND SOME BIRDS Don't know if I can make it any clearer? Spot amd stalk the birds running up and down the hills on their way to or from the many springs and guzzlers out there, then go chase them. This is actually one of many cases where having no dog is an asset. See the birds running the hills in the distance, park off the road, pursue. It's hard because they are fast, but it can be done, I should know, I did it for many, many years and have taken more chukar out there than I care to count. We used to scout while riding dirt bikes back there.
I will say it just one last time, forget about the mainstream madness of being right there at (Blood) Red Mountain and venture if you want to find birds. They don't all live in area, and where do you think they go to when that area gets hunted so hard? Can't help you much more than that, short of shooting them for you. I told someone to do this earlier this year, and guess what, they found tons of fresh sign. This is my surprised look

I couldnt believe the amount of sign. I was Shocked,and the other spot I located doing my home work was just as good if not better.The sign in that spot was a few hours old.
Use your vest as a seat cover and put your shotgun behind you in the bed o the truck with the zipper partially opened and drive around the hills in a 1/2 mile to a couple mile radius near water about 30 minutes after the sun comes up and watch for the little black dots running around the hills. If nothing else, even i you can't catch up to them, you will know which way they are coming and going from. Once you know that, it's game on. Or so I've heard

Critical Essays
Ann Radcliffe Mystery & Detective Fiction Analysis
The novel was a young genre, not yet a century old, when Ann Radcliffe began writing. She modified both its structure and its themes and established the gothic novel (the novel with a quasi-medieval setting) as a popular form. The first gothic novel, Hugh Walpole's The Castle of Otranto (1764), had fused medieval chivalry and the ghost story, creating a fast-paced, incredible tale that drips with blood as it piles shock on shock. In Radcliffe's more leisurely novels, which blend the gothic with the sentimental, the psychological effects of incidents take precedence over action. Her own distinctive version of the gothic novel, moralistic and rationalist, requires that sensitive heroines show their worth by their behavior during suspenseful ordeals whose mysteries prove to be rationally explicable. Radcliffe considerably developed the principle of suspense, adapting the techniques of drama to fiction more completely than had yet been achieved in the novel. Moreover, a precursor to the Romantics, she laced her prose with poetry, her own and others', and she transformed the natural landscape into an appropriate setting for her tales.
The Castles of Athlin and Dunbayne
In Radcliffe's first novel, The Castles of Athlin and Dunbayne (1789), an unsuccessful, amateurishly plotted tale centered on a hero in the sixteenth century Scottish Highlands, she had not yet found her distinctive style, though she had found her...

The sound of gunfire, confusion, a lockdown and then an evacuation. Witnesses, students and parents told frightening stories Friday about a school shooting that police say left six adults and 20 children dead.
Many details of the attack were still unfolding, but the sight of dozens of emergency vehicles and police spread across the wooded campus made it clear Sandy Hook Elementary School has become the nation's latest infamous crime scene.
For now, evacuated children are being comforted and reuniting with their parents at a nearby firehouse where, outside, an American flag flies at half-staff.
There, couples enter and exit, some leaving without children and walking silently and tearfully past a nearby cemetery. One couple, escorted by firefighters seemed especially shaken -- eyes bloodshot and lips trembling -- stricken by the events of a clearly devastating day.
In the hours following the morning attack, parents rushed to the school after first hearing the news. They reunited with their children, clutching them and then hurrying away.
Lynn Wasik wrapped her arms around her 8-year-old daughter, Alexis, cloaked against the cold in an oversized jacket. The girl described her ordeal after police and teachers barged into her third-grade classroom and ordered her and her classmates to hide in a corner.
"Everybody was crying," Alexis said. "And I just heard the police officers yelling."
Her mother said she first learned about the emergency through an automated phone call message. She said the message wasn't clear about the school where the incident had occurred. In a panic, she raced to Sandy Hook, eventually finding Alexis unharmed.
"My heart is in a million pieces for those families," said Lynn Wasik. "Who could do something like this? It's just sickening."
Like Wasik, other parents wrapped their arms around their children as they hurried away from the scene.
The FBI presence became much more evident in the afternoon. Several federal officers in tactical gear were coordinating with state and local law enforcement. Officers from the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives arrived to join the investigation.
"I was in the gym at the time," student Brendan Murray told CNN affiliate WABC. "I heard screaming and I thought a custodian was knocking down things. Police came in, teachers yelled to get to a safe place. Police were knocking on the doors -- police were at every door, leading us down, quick, quick."
Brendan said he later joined classmates and ran to the firehouse "really quick. We were all really happy that we were all alive."
At the firehouse, counselors such as Rabbi Shaul Praver lended a hand to help the traumatized. Some suffered from "terrible anxiety," Praver told CNN. "It's very hard to console parents in this situation," he said. "There's no theological answer to this. What you have to do is hug them and just be with them and cry with them."
'Why? Why?'
Teary-eyed parents continued to emerge from the firehouse. Some were talking on cell phones, using words like "chaotic" and "devastating."
Others were openly weeping into their phones as they walked up a wooded roadway leading away from the school.
"Why? Why?" one woman cried as she walked away.
Earlier, a woman who lives near the firehouse described seeing "a bunch of children with a bunch of adults" apparently evacuating toward a nearby park. "I seen five children running up through our back field," the woman told CNN. "And by God, those poor little guys were running."
Temperatures weren't far above freezing at the time of the evacuation. Adults led children away from the school. Many of the kids wore no coats and were dressed in brightly colored clothing. They marched in a line -- one behind another -- with their hands resting on the shoulders of the children in front of them.

Texas A&M may hatch a 'Dr. Chicken'
'Chicken Boy' pursues Ph.D. in poultry science
COLLEGE STATION, Texas (KXAN) - Jesse Huth is 21 years old, but he still goes by the moniker, "Chicken Boy."
The back story
"Everyone that knows me calls me, 'Chicken Boy,'" Huth told KXAN News back in 2004 , "'cause that's what I am, I'm Chicken Boy."
In those days, Huth was a 13 year-old chicken wrangler. He had over 100 of them on the homestead he shared with his parents. He watched over them like a mother hen and when one of them died, he grieved, especially the first time it happened.
"It was real sad," said Huth's mother, Jaci Kroupa, "and he cried and we made a little cross and, you know, took her down and put her in a special burial place."
"I did cry a little bit," the boy recalled then, "but you get over it after awhile. But if I ever lost all my chickens, I don't think I could handle it."
Most of Huth's birds, though, not only lived, they laid far more eggs than the family could munch, so Chicken Boy kicked off a little egg delivery business.
Too young to drive, he depended on his mom to get him from customer to customer.
Together, they managed some $30 a week in gross proceeds. Chicken feed, though, ran about $30 a week. You can do the math.
So why all the effort for a business that had little more to offer than busyness?
"I just like the way they look," Huth explained then. "I just love chickens. I can't really tell you why; I just love the way they walk, the way they look, the way they act."
Oh yeah, and the way they talk.
"There's kind of the announcement," Huth said in 2004, "that, it's like, 'I just laid an egg in this box; come lay your egg.'"
With that the boy reared back and let loose with the most convincing squawking and clucking this side of the hen house.
Asked about his dreams, the child was emphatic.
"I hope to have the world's largest chicken business," he said, "free range chicken business. I'm thinking of having a couple of million chickens. I love chickens."
It was all just too cute for words, but no one really expected it would stick. Stick it did, though; it stuck like chicken poop to the bottom of a shoe. Nothing could shake it loose or pry it off.
The trip to Aggieland
When Huth graduated from high school, he ran like a hungry hen to College Station. Texas A&M University was the only college he applied to. Admission was a foregone conclusion and the major was, or course, poultry science .
Then, when Chicken Boy graduated from Aggieland in December, he stayed put, joining the university's graduate program in chicken welfare and behavior.
Now, he works with faculty, conducting experiments into such things as how light affects the hatch rate of fertilized eggs.
Then, there are the stress tests, like the "inversion" test.
"You flip the birds upside down," said the 21-year-old version of Chicken Boy, "and count how many wing beats they flap and how much time it takes for them to calm down.
"And then we compare that to other type of stress like changing the color of the feed or putting a strange object in the feed and seeing how long the birds take to get up."
So why does anyone care about such things? In a word: Chillness.
"They all influence the ability to raise commercial chickens in large quantities," Huth pointed out. "If you can reduce the amount of stress the birds have, they'll produce better; they'll be a lot happier; the people raising the birds will enjoy it more and overall you get a much better product for less price."
In fact, you can take all this even further than that, using the test results to breed anxiety out of a given chicken population, especially the flocks a growing number of city-dwellers are putting into their back yards.
"If you're having a really stressed out chicken; it's flapping all over the place, hold them upside down by their legs," said Huth, "and they'll flap a little bit and then they sort of go into a little catatonic state almost and just kind of lay there.
"A bird that would flap longer, for instance, might indicate that it's a little bit more stressed because it's trying to struggle against whatever the force is that's holding it, versus another bird that just sort of lays back would have less of a chance to be stressed."
That, of course, would be the bird you want, so you would then mate it with a similarly laid back rooster. A few generations down the line you find yourself with a flock of chilled out critters.
"Currently everyone's just been breeding for either size in broilers or the ability to lay eggs in layer chickens," Huth said, "which has resulted in, especially the layer chickens being very flighty. So they're very prone to stress.
"You get low-flying planes or something around the house, they freak out and go crazy and then that can visibly impact your production."
But as Huth got more and more educated about the life of chickens, he came to understand that his 2 million bird free-range farm was all too childlike.
"I realized that that part of the market is pretty much already taken over," he said. "There
are massive farms out there that have multiple millions of birds just on one location.
"Some of these layer houses can cost $500,000, $600,000 to over a million dollars apiece. And you need many of those houses to hold all your birds.
"And currently, especially with the price of corn, profit margins aren't all that great. And it would take a lot of money to get into it and I'd be competing against these already huge, established, integrated companies."
The plan
So now, Huth has a different plan.
"Depending on how much funding I can get, I would like to get a doctorate…and then after I'm done with college, either with the masters or the doctorate, I want to go into consulting.
"I really like traveling, as well, so I'm hoping to be able to consult with large flocks all around the country or even smaller backyard flocks and get paid to go around, maybe give presentations or help people set up their houses, set up their flocks, and just get chickens growing a lot better in the country, maybe even out of the country."
And, as it turns out, what's good for the chicken can be just as good for the white wing dove.
"I've developed a few other interests that I might be able to supplement with," said Chicken Boy. "For instance, I've started doing bird surveys for people with wildlife management areas. I love bird watching, so I'll go out and tell them what kind of birds they have on their property.
"But still, that can go right alongside my chicken consulting business. In fact, I've started my own business and gave it a name, Huth Avian , so that I do birds and chickens."
So as the young man goes from cage to cage, hanging chickens upside down and gathering their fertilized eggs for study, the surrounding clucks and crows have the ring of a cash register for him.
"As a career, there's very good money in it," said Huth. "With a degree in poultry science, you're practically guaranteed a job, if you're looking for one, as soon as you graduate. There's no hunting around, no waiting for anything. So there's always a safety net to fall back on. I can go work for something in the poultry industry."
Still, the cash is really just a means to an end of another sort.
The love
I just love chickens," said Huth. "There's not really anything I can explain about it besides they really, really interest me a lot.
"And other people are growing to love the chicken, too. "They're beautiful; there's a huge variation in color. There are all different shapes and sizes.
"There's a chicken out there for everyone and I just love all of them. Each individual chicken has its own personality. They all interact really well with each other. Even if they have disagreements, they can still get along with each other.
"I love to see more people raising chickens. For one, they're fun and they also are a very good source of nutrition. They provide eggs; they provide food; they provide enjoyment.
"For people with kids they provide something for them to be responsible for, but they're still fun. And they're very hardy; they can survive a lot of things."
Of course, Chicken Boy doesn't have his advanced degree yet. Never-the-less, he stands ready to "consult" with anyone who has questions or issues with their backyard coops.
"I already get calls from agricultural extension agents," he said. "I get calls from people out of the state, all over the country, because they hear about this guy at Texas A&M that actually works with backyard chickens and knows a lot about them."
Sooner or later, though, Jesse Huth will outgrow the Chicken Boy thing. He knows that. In fact, he's already looking forward to that Ph.D.
"If I get that," he promises, "I'll become known as Dr. Chicken."

Was looking for this item is several local retailers, several had pieces but not all in one store, another had the whole set but it was outrageous, checked out the company website and the price was affordable but shipping was expensive. Then I found overstock.com and the price was less with free shipping. It was a no brainer, all items in one place, no driving around, price below manufacture web price, and free shipping. The item came when I was told and was very timely. Overstock make it so easy!
We are very pleased with out purchase. I used the meat grinder for home made burgers. I have not yet used the vegetable shredder, but I assume it will just a good.
Ordered this mainly for the grinding of nuts and that is the only one not doing a great job. :( inserts are loose, so whole nuts are falling through into your bowl.
I got this attachments to be able to do my own burgers at home, is the best purchase so far, you choose your meat and decided quality on your burgers and pay even less than the worst burgers of your local market! Grinder need to be frozen before grind meat, works better that way. Vegetable processor is great too, if you entertain at home will help you to cut in half your prep time, try different vegetables before a party, some cut better if you put them in cold water over night, make them crisp and easy to cut.
Very pleased with product and would recommend it to others.
This is a really good deal. My wife loves these attachments. She tried all of them except the sausage attachment. They make working in the kitchen a lot easier.
KitchenAid is a brand I have always trusted and this item did not disappoint me.
I liked the item, but the sausage maker tips do not come with this item. I look in the box, on the box and in the books. Their is nothing showing those tips come in the kit. I did want those tips...Other than that I ground up some meat and it work great there...
Works like a charm. Adds functionality to an otherwise essential device. Highly recommended.
I have always wanted a Kitchen Aid mixer, but it was always out of my budget until I found it here. Then finding these attachments only added to the wonderful gift to myself to use for my family.

Fisherman's Lodge
Originally a fisherman's shack, this delightful renovated lodge offers luxury Tobago beach accommodation for those seeking a special Caribbean vacation. Fisherman's Lodge is even more superbly located than the three apartments in the main house. Located a little higher up the hill it has dual aspect views to Castara beach below and a clear view to the Caribbean Ocean to the west. This means you can enjoy the spectacular sunsets from this west-facing holiday retreat whilst only a five-minute stroll from the beach immediately below.
In July 2009, we finished a complete renovation of the original shack around which we created the new bedroom and the covered deck and dining area in 2007. The central part of the accommodation has now been upgraded to the same very high standard that you will find in Birdsong where the primary material is the local cypress hardwood with its glossy yellow grain. The result is accommodation in Tobago with a 21st century finish on an old and unique building loss of atmosphere.
Using the existing space, we have reconfigured the position of the shower room and the kitchen with outstanding results. The spacious new shower room now reflects the standard that people have come to expect of Castara Retreats and our holiday rentals in Tobago.
The kitchen area is better integrated into the open plan living space (20ft X 15ft) with completely renewed floors, double boarded walls and windows all in yellow cypress. This has been sensitively done to preserve the building's unique Caribbean character with weatherboard exterior and fretwork trim. The kitchen itself has been extended with new gas cooker, tiled worktops and sink creating a much more efficient working space for those of you who love to cook, socialise and hang out at the same time. There is an enormous fridge/freezer, good quality pots and pans, cutlery and china for six people, glassware, toaster, coffee pots, teapots and blender. We have also continued our theme of carved sunray patterns over the doors and windows. The lighting has been improved with inset spotlights in the shower room, above all the kitchen surfaces and across the living space with dimmer switches and multiple choices to help you create the atmosphere for the mood of the moment. In this way, Castara Retreats has created a romantic atmosphere for couples or those seeking a special place for their Caribbean honeymoon.
The bedroom (13ft X 15ft) has louvered windows designed to catch the cool breezes that come over the hill from the east, two hanging rails and a rustic wooden dressing table/desk as well as a wicker chest of drawers in keeping with our natural approach. The bedroom has a polished hardwood floor, similar to Rainforest, and a queen-sized bed with white bed linen and frame mosquito net. As you would expect of Castara Retreats accommodation in Tobago, we provide a hair dryer, hammock, free standing ventilator fan, iron and security safe for documents and valuables. We have just installed a good quality iPod docking system in all of our Tobago accommodations and you can also use your iPhones and MP3 players on the system provided you pick up a mini jack to stereo RCA cable (available at Dixons at airports). Castara Retreats happily provides this system and requests that our guests are mindful of volume levels during both the day and the evening so you do not disturb your neighbours. Outside the living area is a large covered deck (13ft X 15ft) that offers a wonderfully open environment for hanging out, gazing at the views, dining or liming with other people. Similar to the bedroom, the covered deck is constructed of wide hardwood planks of cypress giving the floor a gorgeous yellow glow. The deck is furnished with comfortable seating for four people with a large low level table for informal dining with space to seat up to eight friends and family. There is also a small full height breakfast table as an alternative dining option. Next to the covered deck is a lockable storage cupboard for beach gear, snorkels, diving equipment etc.
Beyond the covered deck is a spacious outside deck with westerly panoramic views - thought by many to be the best in Castara. This deck has integral benches and a table and chairs providing the perfect viewing point for sunsets, stars and fireflies.
People who have stayed in Fisherman's have been fulsome in their praise of their Caribbean vacation and of Fisherman's for both its location and its intimacy. It's the perfect holiday rental for those seeking a Caribbean honeymoon. In designing the renovation, we have taken great care to maintain the perfect flow of space and energy that clients have so appreciated. This means you have a wonderful choice of eating areas, spots to be private, places to observe nature or socialise with friends both inside and out and all with stupendous views. What better place for a vacation in Tobago or to celebrate a special anniversary?
