Over the last 2+ years, I have had many people ask me "how's Jack?" It is a question that I have always been more than willing and proud to answer because he truly is my little miracle pup. Because so many wonderful people have shown such concern, I feel like it is necessary to share Jack's story from the beginning.
I was playing on Facebook at work (shh, don't tell the boss) on Valentines Day of 2011 and stumbled across this picture of an adorable beagle/basset up for adoption in Ohio.
I immediately fell in love with his sad hound dog eyes and reached out to The Gentle Barn to see if he was still available for adoption... and he was! I found out that this poor puppy was at a kill shelter in Ohio and The Gentle Barn rescued him... I was the lucky person that was accepted to adopt him.
The Gentle Barn delivered him to my apartment on February 18th and, immediately, I knew that I had my hands full. It wasn't until they delivered him that they told me that they gave him the name "Mouth" becuase he never shut up. I decided to go with the name Jack, instead. :) At that point in time, I was doing traffic reports for the morning show so I am sure that my apartment neighbors LOVED Jack going crazy and barking every morning when I left at 4am. Jack and I had our typical new-dog issues for the first few weeks: I had to go buy garbage cans with lids because he loved eating the stuff I threw away, he tore apart my sports bra (which, at the time, was a good enough excuse for me to not go to the gym)... and I eventually figured out that most of his craziness and barking when I left was because he HATED being in a cage. We went from being in the cage when I left... to me gating him in the kitchen (and him ripping down the gate... along with some of the drywall)... to, finally, I just got so sick of his barking and crying that I let him roam my apartment when I left... and he did great! Ever since I realized that all he wants is a little freedom, Jack and I have gotten along just fine. We got into our groove where he let me know when he had to go for a walk by crying at my bedside. This is the cute little face that I woke up to most mornings.
We became a happy little team, for the most part. I quickly learned that Jack does NOT like thunder storms. He is also very skiddish with loud noises and fast movements around him... so I can only assume that he was probably beaten and, possibly, left out in a storm. With those things in mind, we became best buddies... except when it's bath time. Jack does NOT like me at bath time.
In early November of 2011, I was walking Jack in the neighborhood behind my apartment complex when we passed a woman with a dog that was far too large for her to handle. Her dog broke loose and attacked Jack... going straight for his neck. After what felt like an hour of screaming for help, the woman regained control of her dog and I was left laying with my poor dog in the middle of the road with him yelping in pain. I took him to Orchard Road Animal Hospital and, luckily, there wasn't any serious damage done to his neck. They put him on an antibiotic and, after about a week, Jack was back to normal. Not too long after that, I noticed that the swelling on Jack's neck was returning, so I took him back to the vet. I walked in thinking that he simply needed some more antibiotics... but walked out knowing that the new swelling was his swollen lymph nodes... because he had Lymphoma. In the days that followed, I had some very important decisions to make. I needed to take Jack to an oncologist to see what our options were so, by friend referral, we went to Veterinary Specialty Center in Buffalo Grove. I was told that I could a) let him live his life without treatment and not expect for him to live past the holidays or b) try chemo therapy and, if it is successful, he can be expected to live another 8-10 months. I decided to go with the chemo seeing as how, at the time, Jack was only around 3 years old and it was very clear that he lived a crummy life before I adopted him. I wanted to give him a shot at a little bit of happiness in life. I never ever ever thought that I would be a person to spend THOUSANDS of dollars to keep a dog alive... but here I sit, in tears, typing Jack's story for you to read.
We started Jack's chemo treatment right away. For the first few months, I was driving him from Aurora to Buffalo Grove every week. After while we were able to switch to every other week... then, from there, about once every 3-4 weeks. The drive was a pain in the butt, but Jack loved it because he knew that he was going to get a ton of treats from his doctor in Buffalo Grove. I should note that Jack has always been a little on the heavy side so, for a while, I cut out all treats and bones. He was only allowed treats at his chemo treatments... so he almost looked forward to going. :)
Jack responded to the chemo treatment wonderfully and it wasn't long until he was in remission. The folks in Buffalo Grove had a small celebration for us on our last day of treatment and sent him home with a huge box full of treats!
Even though Jack was in remission, our journey was not through. We had to continue with a maintenance drug every 3-4 weeks to keep him in remission for as long as possible because we knew the cancer would eventually come back, we just didn't know when. The thing that we had going for us is that Jack is a very young dog so he has a relatively strong natural immune system. We continued his maintenance treatment at our local vet. Jack slipped out of remission after while... so we switched back to traveling out to Buffalo Grove every week. He reached remission once again but, soon enough, slipped out of remission. This has been the story of our lives for the last 6-8 months or so. However, early in March, we reached a point where more chemo treatments wouldn't help Jack's condition much. I was told to prepare for Jack to only be around for another month or so. I knew that it was now my job to keep him as happy and comfortable as possible.
At that point, I started letting Jack do whatever he wanted. Big doggy bones...
I let him up on the couch with me which was probably a mistake because he gets way too hyper...
I even shared my beer with him (which he LOVED)...
But this past weekend has been pretty bad and Jack has taken a turn for the worse. Along Jack's journey, I have had many people tell me that I made a mistake by putting him through chemo therapy. However, someone once told me that putting a dog down only because he has cancer is not the answer. Up until this weekend, Jack has been a very happy-go-lucky energetic beagle. I always promised myself that I would do my best to keep him alive as long as he was happy and energetic. Now that we have reached a point where that is not the case anymore, I know that his time is here. I type this, in tears, while taking breaks to carry him in and outside to do his business. He is laying on the floor at my feet right now breathing very heavy. He isn't eating much anymore (which is very unlike Jack)... I just know that it is his time.
So, when you wonder why you don't hear my voice on the radio on Monday morning... now you know. I wanted to type this because I'm not sure how long it will be before I can actually talk about it... and so many people have been so kind to continually check in on Jack's progress... I feel like sharing his whole journey with you is only fair. :)
I'm doing my best to not be devistated that my buddy will most likely have to be put down tomorrow (Monday). Instead, I am trying to smile because I know that I saved him from a kill shelter... gave him a happy few years... and let him go when it was time. When Jack was first diagnosed with Lymphoma, the oncologist gave him 8-10 months to live with chemo therapy... here we are a year and a half later. I'd say Jack did a pretty damn good job. :)
So, please do me a favor. Hug your doggy and be thankful that he/she is there wagging their tail everyday for you when you get home.
Good boy, Jack... good boy. :)
Jack and I thank you for all of your thoughts and prayers.
Monday (April 15th) is the deadline to file or get an extension on your taxes. I owed this year. :( Needless to say, I'm happy all the tax stuff is behind me (for this year, at least)! To celebrate Tax Day, here are some awesome freebies and deals!
March is National Frozen Food Month. I've always been confused on how long frozen foods are good in the freezer for.
Here's the answer:
Frozen dinners -- three to four months
Ground beef and turkey -- three months
Bacon, unopened -- one month
Roasts -- six to twelve months
Whole fish -- five to six months
Fish fillets -- four to five months
Shellfish -- four to six months
Whole chicken or turkey -- twelve months
Chicken or turkey pieces -- nine months
Cooked poultry -- four months
I'm not sure how they did it, but the American Kennel Club made a list of the most popular dog breeds in the Chicagoland area. My beagle, Jack, didn't make the list... did your dog?!
#5 spot (tied) – Boxers and Yorkshire Terriors
#4 – Golden Retrievers
#3 – Bulldogs
#2 – Labrador Retrievers
The #1 most popular dog in the Chicagoland area – German Shepards!
And, just for fun.... here is a cute picture of my 5 year old Beagle, Jack (a Lymphoma survivor!!). :)

New Pattern: Fairy Mist
Earlier this spring, I was working away on a lace weight cowl design for the May installment of the Tanis Fiber Arts Year in Colour Club, 2013. The result? Fairy Mist!
This cowl is knit with 500 yards (half the skein) of Pink Label laceweight, and it feels like a light and fluffy cloud around my neck and shoulders.
It's knit on 3.25 mm needles, and the pattern is easy to memorize. Combined with near-weightless yarn, it's a great on-the-go knitting project, since it didn't take up much room in my bag or weigh me down at all. And the best thing about knitting on the go is that even though the yarn is fine and the needles are small, it didn't take long at all to finish this.
The colours reminded me a lot of Victorian fairy paintings and A Midsummer Night's Dream, so I called it Fairy Mist. It's the kind of thing that's perfect to wear at dusk, when it's just a little chilly.
The pattern is exclusive with the yarn to the Year in Colour Club members, but it will be available for purchase in 2014.

You're watching...
The Washington Examiner Senior Political Analyst Michael Barone on the economic outlook.
Jan 21, 2013
Also in this playlist...
Auto-advance: ON
Auto-advanceThis transcript is automatically generated
Well that's some good news -- President Obama heading into his second term Americans outlook on the economy's actually pick it up.
According to a recent a Fox News poll 37% of voters are actually satisfied with the state of the US economy.
And that's up from 20% when the president first -- -- in 2009.
Michael Barone is a senior political analyst the -- examiner -- Fox News contributor joins us now from DC.
-- 37% satisfied I mean I guess it's better then down from 20% right.
Well -- we we have you know we were talking about exactly four years ago -- just been through a major financial crisis of the outlook for.
Some really major problems.
Was unclear so.
You know when you've got 37%.
Saying they think it will be better that -- 63%.
To think that I don't think it'll be better.
That's a pretty negative verdict and I think it's a lot different than you would have seen on the the day -- The day of Ronald Reagan's second inaugural -- Bill Clinton's second inaugural.
You know what else was very different I thought today was his inauguration speech.
Very liberal I mean I guess at this point it is not to worry about reelection but.
We talked he talked about climate change saving entitlements.
No move to the senate whatsoever -- that surprise you.
It surprised me to some extent we cared.
You know there was there were several sentences and there are about green jobs and everything even though I think every serious policy analyst knows that this green jobs has been a movement has been a boondoggle to shuffle money to campaign contributors and crony capitalism and bankrupted firms like Solyndra 500 million dollars of tax.
-- payers money gone away and the macro economy well the economic recovery has begun.
Ha yeah I mean.
A recession ended according to you know the official time keepers of that in June 2009.
Which is to say.
Three and a half years ago.
Yeah the economy if if -- -- -- -- we're looking at a new normal here of one to 2% economic growth a year.
That's gonna mean continuing.
Long term unemployment for people people rush deals are gonna atrophy -- not be developed.
We're gonna be permanently poorer than we were on the trajectory that we were -- from the 1940s until 2007.
You know he's he's already looking to take on some big issues gun control being one of them of course he talked about immigration in his speech today.
And he's got these big budget issues what do you see actually happening over the course of his next term.
Well I think you know I think that this administration is gonna continue to try and expand the size and scope of government I think they're gonna act.
Not through regulatory.
Agencies and through.
Regularly regulations issued by the cabinet departments.
-- rather than through legislation.
I think they're gonna release got a clear indication for President Obama today that he is not interest did in any changes in the entitlement program.
I think that puts you know this is vivid contrast to President Clinton who's sixteen years ago when entering his second term was interest in -- that it did engaged in some serious negotiations which had at least some consequences in the Medicare commission.
President Obama is ruling that out.
My and that's a thing we can be eaten we don't see him moving to the senate all on any this so.
So what does this mean as far as you know the budget the debt ceiling the sequester all that stuff coming up -- We're kind of S so while at this point.
Well the answer is that you know I think we're gonna hear more name calling from the president as he has done in the past.
He seems to think that the only people get called names are people on his side what is factually just not true.
I reminded of the second Franklin Roosevelt term in the new deal historians didn't -- -- economically that was a time of sluggish growth.
-- time when the government was tilting towards private sector unions this government tilting towards public sector unions.
In -- time when you had a significant recession.
And big government heavy regulation higher taxes.
What got us out of that economic dol -- was something called World War II.
Well we're in economic doldrums once again we've got very sluggish growth that was sort that's not bad precedent in America since.
That time.
He and we certainly don't want to have a World War II on our hands and none seems to be on offer so let's I I'm not sure how we get out of this I think that these younger generation of Americans majority of whom supported President Obama -- or reduced majority.
Are gonna have to make due with less at least for the time being.
Yeah -- they're sick I gotta believe they're eventually gonna be a little disheartened by their vote.
Michael -- thank you for sharing your thoughts with us thank you.

Mr. Youche's bill [S. 112] to amend Section 418 of the act of Section 1,403 of R. S., 1881. was read the second time, with a Committee report recommending that it lie on the table. The report was concurred in.
Mr. Duncan's bill [S. 113] to amend Section 1,467 of the R. S. of 1881, concerning Justices of the Peace, was read the second time with a Committee recommendation that it pass. The report was concurred in and the bill ordered engrossed.
Mr. Hilligass' bill [S. 48] providing for the purchase and conversion of toll roads into free roads, was read the second time, with a Committee report recommending favorable action. The report was concurred in and the bill was ordered engrossed.
Mr. Macartney'R bill [S. 52] to amend Sections 6,487, 6,496 and 6,497 of the Revised Statuses of 1881, concerning taxation (see Brevier Reports, page: 78[View Page 78] page 38), was read the second time, with a Committee recommendation that it be amended. The report was concurred in, and the bill ordered engrossed.
Mr. Benz's bill [S. 6] for the election of Supervisors of Highways (see page 28 of the Brevier Reports), was read the second time, with a majority Committee report that it be amended, also a minority report amending the title and substituting new matter for the entire bill.
Mr. WILLARD raised the point of order that the minority report is out of order because unconstitutional and unparliamentary.
Mr. RISTINE understood a minority report can be made in this way. The bill proposes the re-enactment of the laws of 1877 with a change in the hours constituting a day's work. The minority report substitutes a bill [Mr. Voyles' S. 40] proposing to amend the present laws by excepting bridges, etc., under the control of gravel and toll roads; and it leaves off the closing words of Section 6 of the present law and provides that the road and poll tax may be worked out under rules prescribed by the Road Superintendent. Much work just commenced all over the State would be cut off by a repeal of the law as proposed by the bill recommended by the majority of the Committee. The law of two years ago as yet had no practical effect.
Mr. BROWN and Mr. FOULKE thought the point of order is not well taken, as did also Messrs, SPANN and VOYLES.
The LIEUTENANT GOVERNOR: The bill can oe amended by substituting new matter below the title and after the bill has passed, then the title could be amended so as to conform to the body of the bill. So the point of order is not well taken.
Mr. BROWN opposed the minority report, though the complaint is almost universal against the existing law. In the poorer Counties it is too expensive. The poorer classes should have the right to go upon the road and p'lit; in an honest day's work. He could not please the people of his District did he not favor the present law.
Mr. MAGEE: Two years ago the Legislature enacted the present law, which has had no opportunity to be practically tested The bill proposed by the majority report was enacted thirty odd years ago, and the present law was admitted to be a great improvement at the time it was passed in the Senate Chamber. The better way is to put a sum of money in the hands of a suitable person with which to improve the roads. We ought not to change the present system until it is fairly tried. Do not go back to She old system till the present law is fully tested. It was always a farce to allow a man to pretend to work six or eight hours a day on the public highway. He desired to see the majority report adopted.
Mr. VOYLES: As between the two systems, the old system is preferable. The people got used to it, and when a new system was introduced they were dissatisfied. There seems to be an almost universal demand for the old law, but if that be re-enacted then the minority report should be concurred in. No measure is useful if the people are constantly crying out with dissatisfaction against it. If the minority report be accepted he should vote for the bill, but as a test vote he should vote for the bill of the Senator from Crawford [Mr. Benz].
Mr. WHITE said in the northeastern part of the State the present road law is considered expensive. They prefer to work out the road tax. If the present law is not repealed the roads will become very bad and in an almost impassable condition.
Mr. HILLIGASS was sure all peoples in his District condemn the present road law. There are <3[Uite a number of young men in every County who pay no tax-no polls can be collected from them-and under the old law there would have been one or two days work collected from that Class. Here are some 1,200 Road Superintendents i in the State, and it is proverbial to see a Road i Superintendent riding miles from home to find a mud hole to fill up. The present bill takes from the people the right to work on the highways, and thousands of dollars are lost by losing the work of the class before referred to. There is a demand from the people, after more than a year's trial, that the present law be repealed and the old law substituted instead. The present law has been tried sufficiently in his District, and the people have had enough of it. They demand its repeal and the reinstatement of the old law.
Mr. BUNDY moved to postpone this matter and make it the special order for Tuesday next at 2 p. m.
The motion was agreed to upon a division affirmative, 27; negative, not counted.
Mr. Ristine's bill [S. 88] to amend Sections 31 and 34 of the Horse Thief Detective Association act of December 21, 1865, was read the third time.
Mr. RISTINE: It amends Section 3,431 of the R. S. It was before the Legislature two years ago and failed to get beyond the engrossment. This bill requires that the consent of County Commissioners that members of the Association may act as Constables, be made matter of record, so such persons may have written evidence of their authority to act as officers of the law.
The bill finally passed the Senate by yeas, 28; nays, 8.
Mr. Duncan's bill [S. 85] to amend Section 243 of the act concerning public offenses land their punishment, of April 14. 1869, was read the third time.
Mr DUNCAN explained: It simply provides that District School-house doors shall not be required to swing out, and also relieves the Trustee of the necessity of changing doors so they shall swing out.
Mr. VAN VORHIS thought the bill ought to pass, as the bill has been amended so as to apply only to one-story school houses.
Mr. BROWN hoped the bill will not pass. The country schools ere generally taught in winter time, and if fire occurs the little ones all break for the door, and it should be made to swing outward.
Mr. VAN VORHIS declared the bill has not , been correctly engrossed, because the Committee I attached an amendment limiting its application to one-story buildings,
Mr. GRAHAM took the blame upon himself, having failed to incorporate the amendment in his report. On his motion the engrossment was set aside and the bill was recommitted.

Pantry Marinara
1 can of good Italian tomatoes. I buy them whole and crush them with my hands not to impart a metallic flavour from food processor/blender blades.
4 tbsp of good olive oil
1 level tbsp of freeze-dried basil (half a teaspoon if I use the basil sold in the spices aisle)
Simmer over a low heat for about 90 minutes if you don't need it right away or, cook it on medium for 20-30 minutes when you need it quick, but you have to watch it the whole time. I season to taste once cooked because if I add the salt at the beginning, the reduction process results in a salty sauce.
Use it on anything.

CHICAGO, Oct. 14, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- For the last decade, China's infrastructure growth has meant a steadily increasing demand for steel, and an increase in steel prices globally. With it has come volatility for all the parts of the steel supply chain that go into making bridges and roads and buildings, including iron ore, steel scrap, coking coal and steel billet.
But growth isn't only happening in China. The World Steel Association expects worldwide steel consumption will grow at a three percent rate in 2014.
This kind of widespread growth, and potential market volatility, could mean a larger role for steel futures. In the runup in world demand, futures became a viable tool for managing price risk for firms like steel mills and appliance manufacturers. Though at different ends of the supply chain, these kinds of firms could find the appropriate method of off-setting risk in a suite of products CME Group calls its Virtual Steel Mill. As the rate of growth in China and other emerging economies slows, the products may once again be the place where firms in the steel supply chain can protect against volatility.
This infographic demonstrates how that supply chain works, and the Virtual Steel Mill of risk management products that aligns with each area.
As the world's leading and most diverse derivatives marketplace, CME Group (www.cmegroup.com) is where the world comes to manage risk. CME Group exchanges offer the widest range of global benchmark products across all major asset classes, including futures and options based on interest rates, equity indexes, foreign exchange, energy, agricultural commodities, metals, weather and real estate.

Hi can you pray for me for peace, forgiveness and protection with a situation and that I find a wonderful long term boyfriend and life partner.
May 27
(quote) Marian-83994 said: Can you post this prayer to St Raphael? Thanks. I think most of us do not know of it.
Magnificent Archangel Raphael, who stands before the throne of God, always ready to present our petitions, be my recourse as I come to you with this holy intention and desire for marriage. I come to you because of your faithful service to Tobias as he pursued a wife that would be holy and suitable as his life partner. I ask you to be my guide in finding the best person to travel along with me on this life's journey. Help me find someone who will share my faith and hopes, a love who will claim all the affection of my heart. Find for for me a partner who will welcome children into our life with open arms and one who will join with me in serving our Creator all the days of our life. Amen

One of the interesting tidbits to come out of Apple Inc.'s earnings call on Tuesday was the continued strong sales of the iPhone 4. But the profit margins on those older devices is lower and compressing the company's overall gross margins. MarketWatch's Dan Gallagher reports. (Photo: Getty Image)
The Q10 looks similar to the once-popular BlackBerry Bold, which was introduced in 2009 and was the last phone to run on the company's old operating system. It will have both a classic physical keyboard and a small touch screen and will run on RIM's new operating system, BlackBerry 10. Carriers and retailers are advertising the device at roughly $200 with a multiyear plan, putting it in line with other high-end devices on the market.
RIM is counting on keyboard-loving users like Ms. Cheng to snap up the new model. There is still a big market out there for keyboard-equipped smartphones, and RIM dominates it. The big problem: It is shrinking fast.
Last year, IDC estimated that the world-wide keyboard smartphone market was 62.8 million units, down from 100.2 million units in 2011. RIM's share of that market is 47%, according to IDC.

The market for touch-screen-only phones, meanwhile, jumped from 372 million units in 2011 to 650.1 million units last year, according to IDC. RIM's share of that pie: 3%.
RIM executives say they understand the shift. That is why they chose to roll out the all-touch Z10 ahead of the Q10, they say. RIM can count on a loyal following of keyboard-using customers, but it had to make an extra push for its touch-screen device. Chief Executive Thorsten Heins also said RIM knew the all-touch Z10 was probably better suited to succeed in the exploding "bring-your-own-device" market, in which workers are increasingly using their personal phones for work.
Still, the decision baffled some customers and carriers.
"I do wish they came out with [the Q10] first or at the same time," Ms. Cheng says. "I think a lot of people are on the fence and want a new phone, and they may have made their decision already. I don't know why it took so long."
When RIM told carrier partners months ago that it would be launching the Z10 first, carrier executives expressed disappointment that both phones wouldn't be coming out at the same time, according to people familiar with the matter. When they asked for clarification about the staggered-launch strategy, RIM executives didn't elaborate, according to these people.
"Our approach to launching BlackBerry 10 was to focus first on bringing our all-touch BlackBerry Z10 smartphone to market, and then follow with the 'qwerty' BlackBerry Q10," a RIM spokesman said in a statement.
Since that launch schedule was relayed to carriers, the Q10 rollout has slipped a bit. It was originally scheduled to launch about eight weeks after the Z10. When the Q10 arrives in the U.K. and Canada at the end of this month, the gap between phone launches will be roughly 12 weeks.
One reason for the delay is that RIM has had a tougher time than it expected formatting the new operating system to the smaller Q10 screen, according to a person close to the company. When performing functions on the screen, "The initial thought was, 'Oh, we'll just scrunch it down,'" according to this person. "But you end up with very little screen real estate. They have had to redesign apps [for the Q10] without truly redesigning them, and that's really hard. It's taken longer than anticipated."
A RIM spokesman said it is "delivering the BlackBerry Q10 according to our stated plans."

"I realize wrap dresses have gotten a bad reputation due to retailers shoving them down plus size women's throats. But in it's defense there are plus size designers such as IGIGI who make wrap dresses that are sexy, curve hugging and appealing.
Their wrap dresses aren't bulky or employ garish prints. IGIGI doesn't just rely only on wrap dresses for their customers. They offer a variety of dresses that highlight our bodies. I agree that wrap dresses shouldn't be the only option for plus size women.
It is promoted as the "must have" dress based on the perception that we want to hide and conceal our bodies. For a growing majority of us (including myself) this is simply not true. As I've said before, I appreciate any dress whether it be a wrap or sheath that allows me to flaunt my voluptuous shape."

Northwest Missouri State University began offering a new major this semester that appears to be a winner with both current and prospective students.
The comprehensive crisis response program, available as a minor for the last four years, has now expanded into a full undergraduate degree offering.
Using a mix of new and existing courses related to several different disciplines, the CCR degree prepares individuals for all aspects of properly handling catastrophic events.
Some of the subject areas involved include geography, psychology, government and history.
The first tier of study concerns emergency management preparedness, in essence being ready when the disaster hits. It also includes a disaster response relief component.
Secondly, students learn about humanitarian relief, including how to deal with the psychological effects on victims.
The third step is homeland security and defense, in which students develop an understanding of government practices and delve further into psychology and history.
In just four years, 90 students have minored in CCR. Since the program gained status as a major in August, 20 more students have signed on.
Mark Corson, professor and chair of the university's geography department, is one of the instructors in the program. He pointed out the distinction between what the major teaches and what many would expect from such a program.
"We are not turning out police or firefighters," Corson said. "We are turning out management-type individuals with a broadly-based skill set."
Corson said that because of the inter-disciplinary nature of the degree, it has many applications in today's world.
For instance, he said many insurance agencies have expressed interest in the program. Corson said that agencies are beginning to recognize the value of having agents trained not only to sell but to deal with disasters.
"This is really hands-on," Corson said. "We have field exercises and a lot of training. It is beyond education."
In the past, students have traveled to Florida for a four-day field exercise, but the trip is on hold currently.
An exercise is in the works for next year involving local emergency management officials, law officers and students at the Mozingo Outdoor Education and Recreation Area.
Such operations, Corson said, help students ready themselves by practicing the skills they will need in the event of a real calamity.
Last year, the program purchased a CCR trailer similar to the kind of facility that would be used in the field by the Federal Emergency Management Agency.
Designed to handle many types of disasters, the trailer doubles as a mobile command center and is equipped with a professional radio suite.
Corson and other instructors are seeing increased interest in emergency management as an academic discipline.
"We are really excited about the growth," Corson said. "We went from zero students four years ago to 90."

Understanding the surveying of lands and the meaning of Townships
By the late 1860s, the Dominion Government and Eastern Canadians saw that the vast western territories of Canada should be opened for agriculture. Already, land was getting scarce in Ontario. By the mid-1870s Canada's North West Territories was the focus of the federal government. Settlement was desired, as it would provide homesteads for the sons and daughters of eastern farmers and to serve the markets of eastern Canada.
First, to secure the land for settlement, the Hudson's Bay Company's hold on the territory had to be terminated, and that came about in 1869 with the surrender of the company's charter. The Imperial Government then transferred all to the Dominion Government. Even as plans were being made for the territory, the government had recognized the Native people's right to title, and Treaties followed.
Yorkton area became part of Treaty No. 4 signed at Fort Qu'Appelle in 1874, where Chiefs of the Saulteaux, Cree and Assiniboine Nations and Dominion Government Officials affixed their signature to the surrender of seventy-five thousand square miles of what is now southern Saskatchewan, small portions of what are now Manitoba and a portion of southern Alberta.
Other events that readied the North West for settlement were the creation of the province of Manitoba in 1870, the Dominion Lands Act of 1872, the creation of the paramilitary force, the North West Mounted Police in 1873, the organization of the Council of the North West Territories in 1873, and the Dominion Land Surveys starting in 1877 in what is now Saskatchewan. One of the major events for the successful opening of the West was the promise by the Dominion Government in 1881 of a transcontinental railway.
Then the surveyors came — the unsung pioneers. There is little written about their work in pioneer stories, except perhaps the mention of the dates of the surveys. They began their work in the 1870s. It was a painstaking work of observations, measurements and staking for the men of these surveying parties living in tents, on the move in fair and inclement weather, through prairie, hill, and bush country. Their extensive findings were compiled in a "physiographic catalogue" of lands for the benefit of the Dominion Government, land agents and settlers.
It was from those surveyors' records that the officials of the Yorkton Farmers Colonization Company, and all others working with the settlement of the West sought information to decide where to start a colony, or where to stake a claim on a free homestead quarter section.
They obviously looked for reports of good soil, looked for waterways and for timber. In 1883, the York Farmers Colonization Company published a booklet about York Colony. They used some of the surveyors' official records to describe the land, or excerpts thereof. Here are the descriptions for each township under the administration of the Company:
Township 22 — Range 2 (South of Yorkton about 20 miles)
The land is somewhat light and a little broken with water. There is considerable wood suitable for fuel fencing and light building. Altogether, this Township is well adapted for small farming, being beautifully diversified with bush and open prairie. The township diagram shows that there are many homesteads still untaken. (1883) The York Colony Trail passes through this township. (This description was penned by the officials of the York Farmers Colonization Company.)
Township 23 Range 2 (South of Yorkton — 14 miles, approx.)
…. "prairie land of very good quality, with quite a number of marshes. The south east part has considerable bush; the land is to a great extent first class and well fitted for settlement. The soil is slightly gravelly but not to injure its fertility. In fact, it is well fitted for agricultural purposes." —Signed Surveyor G.B. Bemister D.L.S. Portage La Prairie
Report of the above township under Oath
This Township is pretty well settled — there are some very fine odd sections for sale at low prices — the nucleus of a village — Boakview is on Section 16 where settlers can procure agricultural implements, etc.
Township 27 Range 2
"The soil throughout is rich black sand loam, depth varying from 9 inches undulating or low rolling prairie, interspersed with "Islands." (An island is a small bluff covered with trees) and belts of popular woods. The trees in the bluffs are from 4 to 8 inches in diameter. There is a fine creek of fresh water which flows across the Township from Section 2 to Section 30. The water throughout this township in lakes and creeks is good and sweet. Altogether, it is a first-class Township for agricultural purposes." Signed Robert W. Lendrum, D.L.S. Hawkesbury. (Report of the above township under Oath.)
This is a magnificent township, and is the home of some of our pioneer settlers. Mr. A.E. Boake, formerly of the Township of York, has a fine general store on Section 10, and Wallace post office is to be established on this Section in the midst of this thriving settlement.
Township 25 Range 3
—"Mostly open prairie with some small spring creeks, some dry and green poplar for fuel and fencing purposes. The village of Armstrong is situated on Lake Armstrong, and is on the trail at the S.E. corner of this Township. A petition for a post office at this place is now in the hands of the Post Master General. Mr. James Sharpe, formerly of County Carleton, Ontario, proposes opening a store and stopping house here."
Township 26 Range 3
"This is all rolling prairie, not much marsh or water, except numerous small running creeks with good water. Soil black clay and sandy loam, clay and sand for subsoil; a good deal of limestone gravel. This is the only place I met any muskeg during the survey; all prairie sod very rich and suited for agriculture." Signed D. O. O'Keefe, Surveyor D.L.S.
Report of above Township under Oath.
This Township is well settled and the odd sections lying between the settled farms are very choice — some of these are already sold to first-class Ontario farmers from the County of York. And the balance is now in the market at prices which will be trebled when the Manitoba and North Western Railway approaches.
Gently undulating prairie, without any scrub or wood, with numerous spring creeks, characterizes this Township.
Township 27 Range 3
"This township is remarkable for having deep rich soil. There are a number of untaken homesteads in the northern part which ought to be sharply looked after by the intending settler. The settlers in this, as in other townships, have built some neat houses and stables and have done considerable breaking, Mr. McEachran with a family and four sons, who have seen much of Manitoba and the North West are settled here, and intend running a threshing machine in the fall of 1884. Mr. Robert Jackson, from the Township of Brock, Ontario, and several others from the same place, have settled in the southern part of this township and intend having a blacksmith shop on Section 3.
Township 26 Range 4
This Township is well settled, the soil is rich and sandy loam; the White Sand River flows through the east part of it, and on section 13 a grist and flour mill is to be erected.
York City, the capital of the Colony was laid out in October last by Silas James, Esquire, Dominion Land Surveyor, Vice President of the Company, and is beautifully situated on the banks of the river. Building is now going on and Messrs. Neibergall & Reaman are the proprietors of a good hotel and stopping house, as well as a first class general store with post office. This is the headquarters of the Company in the Colony, and the General Agent is resident here. A steam saw mill is now ready for operation, and preparations are being made for the manufacture of brick. There will also be a church and school, and any religious or benevolent institution will be granted town lots for building purposes."
Township 26 Range 5
"This is our most western Township and the homesteads in it are almost entirely untaken. The soil is a rich sandy loam, and the surface is of a rolling nature. A beautiful spring creek runs through the north-eastern part of the Township, having an average width of 25 links and is from 2 ½ to 3 ½ feet deep. There is considerable wood suitable for fuel, fencing and building. Three families of most respectable Scotch farmers have settled here, well equipped with money and implements. Choice odd sections for sale at $8.00 per acre with 7 years credit. Mr. C.J. McFarline and Smith Bros., of Cheshire, England, report this Township as containing magnificent soil and good water."
One surveyor from those mentioned in the above-described surveys is of particular interest to the history of Yorkton:
Silas James, Provincial Land Surveyor for Ontario and Dominion Land Surveyor was born in the Township of York in 1834. His father was born in Ireland in 1801. His mother was born in the Township of York. He married the daughter of Thomas Johnson, a United Empire Loyalist. James came to Toronto in 1854 and studied with a surveying firm for 4 years. He then went to B.C. He returned to Ontario, and was director of Toronto House Building Association. He was also a member of the York Pioneer Society.

- X99 搭配 DDR4 記憶體,Haswell-E 八核心處理器時脈爲 3.0GHz
Intel 將會在 2014 年第三季發表 Haswell-E 處理器。 將取代現在的 Ivy Bridge-E 以及 Sandy Bridge-E,採用不算新,但無法相容現行 X79 主機板腳位的 LGA 2011-3。 Haswell-E 確定導入八核心處理器,以及 DDR4 記憶體。 與 Ivy Bridge-E 相同,22nm 製程的 Haswell-E 只會擁有「X」與「K」兩個系列,兩款處理器除了可以超時脈外,記憶體部分也被允許超頻。 外觀方面與早前曝光的設計圖相同,在我們收到的 Haswell-E 處理器照片中,可以見到時其時脈爲 3.0GHz,經確認,它是 Haswell-E 處理器系列中最高階的產品,意味著這顆處理器擁有 8 顆核心。 各位也可以注意到,這顆處理器是在美國生產,而非過去常見的馬來西亞或是哥斯達黎加等地,因此我們猜測它應該是相當早期的工程樣品。 X79 與 X99 晶片主要差異應該是後者提供了 10 Ports 的 SATA 6Gb/s,以及不怎麼重要的原生 USB 3.0。 到時候大家比較在乎的部分應該是 DDR4 記憶體的表現,以及 22nm 製程的 Haswell-E 處理器效能,更重要的是 Intel [...]

New member looking for advise.
I've been sharing a lease for 3 years with one guy . I've taken deer each year. This year I got the biggest I've ever gotten on opening day(7pt with a 14 5/8 inside spread), then a nice 6 pt on Thanksgiving day. Well my partner says he's not hunting there anymore(got something closer to home). Now I'm on my own out there.
I want to get larger bucks out there.
It's mostly pasture with maybe 20-30 cows. There are a few descent sized stands of hardwoods, several large ravines, and 2 large streams(impassable by ATV after a heavy rain), 2 ponds. The property is an irregular shaped 118 acres. There is a no fence hunting preserve less than 2 miles away across a major road. Best thing is it only cost me a ham to the owners son if I get one.
This year I took a pop up and more or less tossed it out where I had seen a flash of deer the last day of muzzleloader season. I was pissed at the location once the sun came up. Didn't think it was any good, no visability and couldn't hear because of the stream, but the wind was right.
I was rattling and lightly grunting a bit. At 7:40 I was watching the turkey's I missed during the spring season. I just happen to glance to the right a bit and there he was 18 yrds away.
Then did the same basic thing on Thanksgiving morning.
I have hundreds of pics of 6-8 does eating from a feeder on another part of the property maybe 400 yds away but never seen them while hunting. And never got pics of anything with horns this year.
Anyway what can I do to build a better herd and grow larger deer. The cows run through most anything I've put out for the deer and the fella working the cows isnt really into helping me with the deer herd. So far I take the first one to put meat in the freezer then I get picky and only look at the more mature deer.
I'm willing to try most anything to improve things.
