JACKSON — Gloria Austin has scratched off an item from her bucket list.
It was an opportunity for the horseman to drive her four-in-hand on Friday morning in the Coach and Carriage Drive at the Silver Bluff Audubon Center and Sanctuary.
The horseman's eye-catching turnout blended in perfectly with the idyllic setting of the Audubon Center. Austin's carriage and harness were trimmed in gold, and the majestic presence of her team of four Pura Raza Espanola horses gave her turnout a regal appearance.
"This is a fairly new carriage that was made in Germany by Gustav Kuhnle," Austin said.
However, it was the gray PRE horses and that had a mesmerizing effect. The horses were purchased last spring by Austin from an area near Seville, Spain.
"They were shipped to the United States in September, and we've been training them in Florida since then," Austin said.
The horse in the left lead position was cited by Austin for his steady demeanor, and at 9 years old, was the senior member of the team. The horse in the right wheel position was the youngest member at age 5.
But, Friday's coach and carriage drive was a dream realized for Austin.
"This is the first time I've actually attended this," said Austin, a founding member of the Four-in-Hand Club. "Jack Wetzel is our local representative in Aiken, and as I'm getting older there are things that are on my bucket list, and one of the things I had always wanted to do was attend and drive at Jack's drive. I just hadn't been able to do it over the years, and with the new horses I made the decision to participate."
The allure of the Audubon Center's beauty was another reason Austin participated in Friday's drive.
"I grew up in a rural area, so communing with nature in a horse and carriage, or just coming here is a great treat for me," said Austin. "The Audubon Center is fabulous."
The resident of Weirsdale, Fla., drives on a routine basis in the Ocala National Forest, but embraced the opportunity to drive in the Audubon Center.
"The pine forest is so peaceful and tranquil," said Austin. "You just hear the clip-clopping of the horses as you travel along."

When performing a straigh punch (left or right) to the head what is the better target for maximise the chance of knockout ?
A knockout occurs when the brain bounces around the braincase. This movement causes injury which will lead to unconsciousness.
In order to have a high chance of knocking the person out, the best place to target is the chin. This is both a relatively soft target, compared to other parts of the skull, and is relatively easy to get to. Impact there creates a lever effect that creates a lot of brain movement, which means a high chance for knockout.
There is a reason that boxers refer to easily knocked out people as having "a glass jaw".
Slightly behind either ear is the place to hit if you want a knockout. 43 years experience in martial arts, military and personal body guarding has proven this to me. As a former corrections officer, it is a statistical fact that knocking a person out rather than continuing to fight with them is a more humane way to end an altercation. The longer an altercation continues, the more likely you are to get hurt and/or inflict more damage on the other person. Most knockouts tend to cause less damage.
My personal philosophy is simple: I don't start fights, so if a person starts a fight with me, I plan to knock them out as quickly as possible to minimize damage to them and to me. If you don't want the horns don't mess with the bull.
A "knock-out" is loss of consciousness due to the brain making contact with the skull. The brain is surrounded by fluid and, normally, does not make contact with the skull. That contact is a traumatic event and the body can shut down.
The easiest way to cause this response is to "hook" the side of the chin, making the skull turn faster than the brain can follow.
With a straight punch, and with the assumption that you are facing an opponent who has his hands down and is just waiting for you to hit them, I really can't think of a good knock-out target.
I'm not too fond of this question, you should never want to knock someone out. Not even with boxing gloves. Knocking someone out is always tricky, as a K.O. is a result from brains bouncing back and forth (or extreme pain, but then it'd be rather called 'passing out').
Be especially careful with the temple. It's known to be a good knock-out hitting spot, but hitting someone's temple can actually kill the person. Don't EVER hit it!
As a sidenote, this site is about martial arts. The thing about any martial art, is that it has some thought, philosophy and morals behind it, and one of those morals is that you don't do brutal things like deliberately K.O.'ing someone.
I've never used this but probably a hard palm strike to the forehead.
IMO Safe and controlled sparring should be practiced in order to perfect technique. Violent fight for pay should be banned along with dog fighting. Now street fighting for self or home defense is another issue all together.
Criminals rely on weapons and violence for their objective. For your safety perpetrators MUST be immpbilized as quickly as possible by either a knockout or limb break. If you don't do them FIRST, they WILL do you! Just my humble opinion!

SolarCity crunches data for home efficiency loans
By offering financing and software-based energy assessments, SolarCity seeks to expand from solar to energy efficiency upgrades.
SolarCity has rapidly grown to be one of the largest solar installers. Now it's applying its financing model to energy efficiency.
The company today announced the availability of energy-efficiency loans that homeowners can use to finance home upgrades and defray upfront costs.
SolarCity's main business is solar, installing photovoltaic panels and offering homeowners leases under which they pay a monthly charge rather than actually purchase the panels. Two years ago, it bought privately held Building Solutions to expand into services and get access to that company's software.
SolarCity has started offering home efficiency assessments to its solar customers that cost about $290 before utility rebates, CEO Lyndon Rive said. After an inspection that includes a blower door test and a software-based model of the building, assessors can generate recommendations based on thousands of data points, he said.
People can chose a 1-year, zero-percent loan that allows them to take advantage of rebates for efficiency-related upgrades. There are also 3-year and 10-year loans offered through a bank based on a person's credit rating.
Offering financing to get consumers to install solar panels has helped spur the growth in installations. Energy efficiency upgrades are a bit different. They tend to be more complicated in that they can involve multiple projects, such as air sealing, insulation, and new heating and cooling equipment.
So far, the company has signed on about 5,000 customers to its efficiency services, which are now available in the East Coast states where SolarCity operates. "A number of customers are interested in both," said Levi Blankenship, the energy efficiency sales manager at the company. "It's not just about (energy) production, but about reduction, too."

Comments about 15 Degree 3-1/4 in. Coil Framing Nailer:
I really have not had a chance to use my new nailer yet since the weather has been bad but I did try it out in the my shop and it is fast and very powerful. A person needs to use caution when using this tool. It has a little back lash but very little and that may be due to I am a woman and not a man using this product. Although, I feel I will get used to it very soon.
I can see the advantage of having it already!
Speed and a lot less stress on my right hand which is arthritic already, due to an accident years ago. It is somewhat light even with the nails loaded which is very good when your in a bind or don't have help as I am most of the time.
I would highly recommend this product.

After getting really creeped out by the doll, Mason feels he has to show Jake who's the boss, and by boss, we mean the Top. That's right. Mason takes his twinky new buddy and slams his tight as with his fat cock. Not that Jake minded that at all.

Apple releases software update for Apple TV second and third generations
Apple has been really busy the last few weeks and the Apple TV must have been feeling really left out seeing all Apple's other iOS devices receiving shiny new upgrades to iOS 6. Thankfully Apple hasn't been ignoring the Apple TV at all and has now released an update for the Apple TV second and third generations. The new update brings along some nice new features but it is not iOS 6. Instead Apple decided to go with iOS 5.1 but don't be put off by that, Apple has included a whole host of new features as shown below.
Accept invitations for Shared Photo Streams, browse photos and comments, and receive notifications of new content.
Send audio content from Apple TV to AirPlay-enabled speakers and devices (including AirPort Express and other Apple TVs). Also includes the ability to require an onscreen code to use AirPlay with your Apple TV.
Save multiple iTunes accounts and switch quickly between them.
Search movie trailers. In the United States, see show times for local theaters.
New Cascade, Shrinking Tiles, and Sliding Panels screen savers.
Reorder icons on the second page by holding down the select button on the remote.
SDH support for the deaf and hard-of-hearing as well as improvements to viewing and selecting subtitles.
Support for setting up advanced network options using configuration profiles.
Includes general performance and stability improvements.
So next time you fire up your Apple TV second or third generation you should see an option to upgrade to iOS 5.1. Of course if you have your Apple TV jailbroken, give this one a miss for now until we hear that it can be jailbroken again.

Apple releases software update for Apple TV second and third generations
Hi what is it that You are doing? What is blue31.com , i really would like to know About it
I completely agree with you. If I'm lucky I get between .95 and .97 Mbps download. It's my internet provider and I'm on DSL, so sucks for me. But I agree, when I watch a 30 second trailer from the Apple TV, it's takes about 4 minutes to buffer then watch. It's not Apple's fault, you understand, it's my provider. But that's the best I can get in my area. So a non HD trailer version would be so appreciated. Same as the YouTube app on the Apple TV.
Just updated apple tv with ios 5.1 and contrary to what they say airplay TO external speakers FROM the AppleTV doesn't work: I've tried with 3 devices (apple tv, imac and my airport express) but NO SOUND!!!! Also, the Apple TV DO list all my Airplay devices fine, and selecting one of them will check mark it fine, but NO sound will even come out of the AppleTV to any speakers
Simple and flawless upgrade process. I love the ability to send AppleTV audio via AirPlay to my AirportExpress. It works perfectly with no set-up issues. Now I can use the "radio" function without having the TV turned on and I can unplug a long pair of shielded cables that run to my sound system.
I notice that now you can rearrange the podcasts the same way you can rearrange the lower half of the home screen. The problem is that, previously, they were sorted with most-recently updated at the top. I don't see where that's an option any longer. You still get badges, but no sorting by update.
Maybe I'm an idiot, but since the firmware update on the Apple TV, I can't shut it off as easily. T'was a time when you would just hold the select button down for a few seconds and the Apple TV would shut off. That doesn't work now. I have to go into settings and force in to sleep. A bit of a hassle. If there's a way to shut it down that's quicker that I'm not aware of, I'd like to know.

Researchers at California State University, Chico have received a $149,890, two-year U.S. Department of Agriculture grant to study the affect of a pilot program for mindful eating on food behaviors among children and families. They hope to gain greater understanding about successful strategies for promoting healthy eating behaviors. The pilot will begin with focus groups comprised of Hispanic and non-Hispanic white parents to gauge their perceptions of mindful eating. Based on that information, the team will develop and implement a mindful eating project, with classroom and home activities, for children in the third through fifth grades. The activities will include games and cooking demonstrations.

Cotton Market News
The purpose of the market News program is to provide current and timely price and supply information on cotton and to aid buyers and sellers in assessing market conditions and in making purchase and sale decisions.
The Cotton Program market news functions are performed by the Market News Branch. The Branch supervises the Programs Market News and Quotations programs and disseminates national market news. The Branch also develops and maintains current and historical statistical information on supply and demand, prices and related data.
Cotton Market News consists of daily, weekly, monthly and annual reports on prices, quality, and market conditions for cotton and cotton seed. National reports include the entire Cotton Belt and cover such factors as demand, supply, prices, quality, stocks, offerings, inquiries, sales, textile mill activity, crop development, and harvesting progress. Reports also include supply-demand estimates, crop reports, program announcements, and any other information deemed of benefit to the cotton industry.
Area Market News reporters collect cotton market news data in person and by telephone. Because growers and local merchants rely on this information, emphasis is given to the rapid and frequent collection of cotton market news. Area information is supplemented with information from local classing offices for inclusion in national reports. At the national level, information on domestic and foreign cotton is obtained from the Bureau of the Census, the Agricultural Statistics Board, Foreign Agricultural Service, Economics Research service, Farm service Agency, and Cotton Outlook of Liverpool, England.

Cross native Dr. Daisy Nelson Century recently earned a Black Belt in Karate. Her thrice-weekly workout includes jumping jacks, sit-ups, crunches, jogging, jumping ropes, hitting the bags, tumbling, push-ups, high kicks and stretching under the guidance of her Master Instructor in Tae kwon Do Karate. She is just a handful of senior women who have reached the Black Belt level. At a recent tournament there was no one in the 50-and-over category for her to compete against, so she competed in the 20-and-over category … and came home with three trophies.

Step 1: Block holes in bottom of pot.
Step 2: Add potting medium.
Step 3: Put a large drop of rooting hormone on a clean surface.
Step 4: Cut new growth from parent plant.
Step 5: Cut a segment from your cutting.
Step 6: Remove bottom leaf and any tendrils.
Step 7: Dip cutting in rooting hormone.
Step 9: For further cuttings, make sure to take a complete segment.
Step 10: Place the pot in a saucer full of water.
Step 11: Cover the cuttings with a plastic bag.
Do you think this will work with: azaleas, camellias, peonies? I want to get cuttings from my mom's beautiful yard before we sell her house.
Thanks for this useful info.
hydroponics worked great and you don't have to do any thing to make it work.
i use 5 gallon buckets with a aquarium pump of 160 gallons a hour with a aquarium air bubblier with hydro nutrients.
blue stone filled 2 gallon drain pot.
i have taken 30 lilac branch cuttings already this month from the large lilac tree.
do a 45 degree cut on the branches.
slip them down into the blue stone hydro system.
thats all you need to do,your done.
leave the branches in the hydro tank under florescent lights for one month or until roots develop.
this is the simplest way imaginable to create new lilac bushes.
and you don't have to place a moister bag over the branches.
this method works with soft wood trees and rose bushes.
I used root hormone powder and placed the cuttings in a cup of water through a piece of garbage bag stretched over the rim. This protects the roots from light.
After they took root I transfered them to 4 pots with a 4:1 ratio of potting soil to vermiculite.
They are growing and expanding rapidly, I now have mint growing all over the house!
Good Instructable, everyone should do their part to help the environment by planting.

The Google Book Search team has employed the Google Maps API to marry locations mentioned in books to a map! Here is an excerpt from a recent Google Book Search Blog post:
Our team has begun to animate the static information found in books by organizing a sample of locations from them on an interactive Google Map, with snippets of text from the book, and links to the actual pages where the locations are mentioned. When our automatic techniques determine that there are a good number of quality locations from a book to show you, you'll find a map on the "About this book" page."
Fact, fiction, old, and new – we seek to present maps when helpful across all kinds of books. Here are a few more to explore:
(From: The 9/11 Commission Report)
Give this a try for yourself at Google Book Search!
I've previously introduced you to this mashup concept of "Book Maps Mashups"; real locations mentioned in books, mashed up with Google Maps. A great example of this concept in action is The Atlas of Fiction. It places references on a Google Map of real places that fiction writers have placed in their stories. Their site explains: "..From Dickens' London to Joyce's Dublin to the New York of Edith Wharton and Henry James, great writers have borrowed the associations and resonances of real-world places to lend color and depth to their works. Get new insight into the geography of your favorite writer's works; or you can see what writers have drawn inspiration from your own home town, and maybe even your own street."
Here is a short list of other new Book Maps:
Google Mapping the Napoleonic age of sail books by Patrick O'Brian - Fantastic mashup showing ports of call and a sequential mapping tour through each of the book's locations.
Book Sale Scout - Maps locations of listed book sales.

Rock gently and fall peacefully asleep
The gentle rocking of BABYBJÖRN Cradle is a soothing and secure way for your baby to fall asleep. The cradle is perfect in the early months when your newborn alternates short periods of sleep and wakefulness. It is easy to move around your home so you can always keep your baby close to you.
Lulls your baby to sleep
BABYBJÖRN Cradle lulls your baby with softly sprung movements. The cradle is easy to rock with your hand or foot, but also turns your baby's own movements into gentle rocking which helps your little one to relax and fall asleep.
Secure supervision of your baby
The cradle is designed to give you secure supervision of your baby. The cradle's transparent mesh fabric and low height make it easy to check that your baby is sleeping safely and peacefully.

Airy and soft design
The sides of the cradle are made of airy and soft mesh fabric that the baby can breathe through, even if the baby's face is very close to the side. You do not need to buy a crib bumper for the cradle because its sides are made entirely of fabric – there are no bars or loose parts to trap tiny hands or feet.
Unique and safe rocking action
The cradle's unique design provides a softly sprung movement similar to the movement of a pram. Thanks to its design, there is no risk of the cradle getting stuck at an angle that might be dangerous for your baby.
Compact and cozy
Babies enjoy sleeping in snug and cosy surroundings which remind them of being in Mummy's tummy. This is why the cradle is specially sized for your little baby and can be used from newborn to about six months.
Optional Accessory (sold separately): The attractive canopy screens and softens ambient light to create a cozier feeling.
- From newborn to approximately 6 months, maximum weight 8kg/18 lbs.
- Material: The mesh fabric is made of 100% polyester, the mattress cover is made of cotton and the legs are made of wood and steel. The feet are made of TPE plastic. The mattress foam is made of polyether.

Why does it seem like theres a lot of people so incredibly butt hurt over the founder's packs? You don't have to buy it, I really don't get it.

There is no innocence, only degree's of guilt!
**decided against a stupid post**
I think the main reason is that people feel that when a company does the "Founders Pack", especially at the prices cryptic is offering, that it somehow cheapens the game. It makes it feel like the company is being greedy. People just need to relax and if they don't feel it is worth it let it go. Consumers will vote with their wallets and decide what they want.

In short, it's $200 bucks for 5 day early access and access to a race. $200 bucks to play a free to play game. The stuff they estimate to be worth... $500 bucks or so. Yeah right. Kind of like on disc dlc and trying to prevent used game sales. It's a greedy move.

I graduated high school a decade ago, thank you very much. I just don't get it I guess. No one is forcing you to buy it, you can still play the game if you don't.
The only reason I can see is if people are jealous because they can't/don't want to afford it. Personally, I purchased the $60 pack because it seemed like a good enough deal to get some extra goodies come launch.
Do i want some of the $200 pack stuff? Absolutely, but there's no reason to be offended by the price just because I don't want to pay it. Path of Exile was selling $1,000 packs and I don't recall seeing anyone bashing that model.

And for the record, if they were offering any significant exclusives such as a special Class or extra features unavailable without paying for the $200 pack. Then I would be against it myself.
But as I understand it, even the Drow race isnt exclusive, just the particular backround of it.

First off let me say I did shell out the $200 and feel positive about it, however I have a lot of disposable income and generally buy every deal that comes along good and bad.
That being said, most of the people in my guild do not have that luxury, money is tight for most people out there and getting tighter every day. Yet most game developers continue to get more and more greedy.
I mean seriously the $200 founder pack is maybe worth $75, no way its worth $200 and even worse the claim PWI makes that it is actually worth $500+
Oh and just so you know that statement is actionable if when the game releases, and the in game cash shop and valuations do not stand up to the value they claim, I STRONGLY urge a class action lawsuit for false advertising and deceptive business practices.
Game developer greed is bad enough lately without all the lies and false advertising they continue to heap on us game after game after game.
Start making some examples out of some of these companies and you will start seeing a bit more honesty and accountability, in the marketing if not in the game itself.
Now that being said this whole pay to beta test fiasco that has become the rule not the exception is getting really out of hand. Not only is it insane but its stupid as well.
Out of my group of friends we were able to bring in 3 people with buddy keys, 2 of those 3 bought the $60 pack within a few hours of playing the game. We had another 20 or so guildies that wanted to check it out but could not get a key, so they went and played defiance instead and most of them ended up buying defiance when if they had been in neverwinter they might have bought that instead.
But noooooo some genius decided cock blocking potential customers a good marketing decision at a time where 4 or 5 games are competing for pre-orders and market share. Oh and God I hope the CEO or CFO at PWI reads this and realizes how much money that decision cost them because I can just about promise it was in the millions.
So greed and stupidity... but I digress once again...
The biggest slap to the face.. it is a FREE TO PLAY
Some people say Free to Play though like its a not for profit organization. The game still has to make money, and front loading big packages like that to people who are big fans and willing to pay is a smart idea. Whether or not you feel its worth the money is your own opinion. And I just don't personally understand why it bothers people so bad if someone else wants to buy a $200 pre-launch pack.

I think the issue is that a lot of players, who either can not afford to drop that kinf of money, or do not see a good value in it(in this case, its real iffy, as you dont get access to a race at all...only a unique costume with a special racial for a race everyone will get, the drow)
Now, imagine these players have been following the game for months, signed up for beta on day one, have a thousand constructive posts on the official forums, have been spreading the word of the game to all their friends...and still has not recived a beta key for his devotion
And some random guy with a butt wad of cash see the game, and a day later buys a founder pack and gets access to beta, and honestly could care less about the game but wants to try something new.
The big turn off to players is that more and more game developers are rewarding their faithful less, and the people with big wallets most.
And this the entire reason the MMO market, frankly, fucking sucks right now. The faithful are what make your game, and if you spurn them, they will tear you down.

You could use the same argument to support pay to win.
"Exclusive access to 'Menzoberranzan Renegade', a drow playable race like the legendary ranger Drizzt Do'Urden, complete with unique racial abilities and tattoo". Haven't been following races too closely, but it says exclusive and unique abilities. I plan on playing human anyways, but that's still pretty insulting.
It's also the whole early access thing. You know the server is ready 5 days before their open beta launch date. They simply just tacked on a 5 day delay for everyone else who didn't pay. If it's not wrong, then maybe every other f2p game maker should add a 5 day delay to their release dates and charge $200 bucks. It's not the norm, don't let it become the norm.
If you ask me, people should boycott the Neverwinter cash shop because of this bull. Just for kicks. Ok, maybe for principle. Yeah, that sounds better. I know it's a for profit business. I'm sure they already took loads out of the game and put in planned inconveniences to push people towards buying their cash shop stuff.

"It is double pleasure to deceive the deceiver". - Niccolo Machiavelli
the ¨no one is forcing you to buy it¨ is already overrated. Companies are coming up with these greedy tactics because they know there are many people out there who will pay for them. And if people keep supporting those practices it will become a standard. You will soon see crappy games costing a lot of money up front and nobody cant complain because its the standard. And so on.
I think a $200 bucks pack should be a collectors edition, not a beta access..... and also include more stuff (including physical items) than what other CE offered. GW2 is a good example. Its CE costed less than 200 and had more valuable things than Neverwinters 200 dollar beta pack.
If i dont buy it, it will not hurt me, but it will still hurt the game industry and eventually it will end affecting me as a consumer because i will have to stop playing games when this ridiculous practices become the standard in gaming.

Founder packs are a scam that's why. They basically allow companies to collect your money before delivering a product. And since every game is overhyped and then some no one even expects these companies to make all their promises anymore.
Being a founder of an actual product you can touch and feel is a different story; whereas, you can get a refund if they fail to deliver exactly as promised. Virtual products are still this giant gray area where they can fullfill all they've said or just take a dump on you instead.

I don't mind so much for ongoing betas like Firefall and Forge, games with ongoing development to support (though all should have some form of ongoing dev). More so Minecraft really.
But cash grabs for a couple of beta weekends for founders price seems more like a pre order than anything. And for $200 bucks is like b2p in f2p clothing. The lines are open to be blurred.
All the same but, if I'm keen on a game I'll make up my own mind if it's worth it.

I think some are to blinded to the fact that some of the hate is not about the price or that they can not aford the to buy the founders pack, it is that it sends a message to developers that we gamers are all idiots who will through money at a product unseen, untested and unproven. More and more companies are now doing this and it is not doing anything to improve the quality of games.
When a game launches, what I see then is people posting that we have to wait for them to fix the game, put in the content they promised before launch, yad yada yada. You get what you deserve, and if you preorder, buy these silly founders pack, and the game sucks, you have nobody to blame but yourself.
In the end though, it is your money, feel free to waste it as you wish.

Say an orange has a true value of 25 cents.. 100% of the people can afford that orange at its true value.
Now say someone buys up all those oranges and decides to resell them for say 50 cents.. now maybe 80% of the people can afford oranges.
Then lets say the orange farm says well hell if people are willing to pay that guy 50 cents then maybe they will buy my next batch of oranges from me for 75 cents.. now only maybe 50% of the people can afford those oranges.
Sadly however it doesnt stop there because the farmer has now realized some people are willing to pay whatever he asks for his oranges so next harvest he figures hell lets try $1.50 for oranges.. at this point you have trimmed away all the normal people with normal income so maybe you only lose 10% and come down to 40% of the people..
Well hot damn says the farmer, I'm selling less oranges but I'm making more money.. maybe we can push this a little further next harvest.. $3 for an orange only worth 25 cents.
If those numbers work next comes $6.. so what if only 20% of the people out there can buy them you are still making more money that you were selling them to everyone at 25 cents, or even 30% of the people at $3...
The point isI dont care how much money you have to toss at games, sooner or later the way this is going you are going to be in the percentage that is cut out of the oranges.

To the Editor:
On Town Meeting Day, Waitsfield voters will be able to vote by Australian ballot on three bond articles that will fund proposed water supply and water treatment services for the village. This means that a lot of folks who can't take the day off to attend Town Meeting will be able to weigh in on this. When people start talking about spending $19.7 million, it's a good idea to open up the decision-making process. Whether you think this new water plan will be the town's salvation or that it will be a waste of millions of dollars, let our town government know what you feel on Tuesday, March 4.
There's also a fairly interesting presidential primary going on the same day. Some folks might feel that the candidates running in that race have even more "creative" ideas of how to spend our money than our own town officials, so it's worth letting them know what you're thinking, too.

Years ago, experienced campers discovered that lining their food pack with a cardboard box kept their provisions intact. This ingeniously designed deep box-style pack has all the right dimensions and is easily hung to keep out of reach from furry campsite visitors. Small enough to load with heavy foods and still be able to lift, this is one tough pack. We use 18-ounce canvas with a double bottom and reinforced stress points. The leather shoulder straps are reinforced with riveted leather counters. Even the buckles are reinforced on this durable, time-tested pack. Comes with tumpline and heavy duty poly liner. Made in USA.

Item No. S-100 Standard Food Pack

The 2013 Fireworks Advisory addresses the sale, possession and use of fireworks in Wisconsin.
MADISON — As the State of Wisconsin and the rest of the nation celebrate this year's Fourth of July holiday, Attorney General J.B. Van Hollen would like to remind everyone of the State's laws regarding the sale, possession and use of fireworks in Wisconsin.
The advisory for local law enforcement summarizes Wisconsin fireworks law, answers common questions and corrects common misunderstandings about the law. It explains what's legal and illegal without a permit, conditions for a valid permit, penalties and enforcement. The applicable statute is Wisconsin Statute § 167.10.
The statutes do not give the Department of Justice direct authority to enforce the fireworks law. Enforcement responsibility and authority rest with local law enforcement and district attorneys, or municipal prosecutors in the case of local ordinance violations.
Local ordinances also may regulate fireworks and may be stricter than state law but cannot be less strict. This advisory discusses only state law, so some devices or materials described as legal in this advisory may be prohibited by a local ordinance.
The advisory is available online at the following link:
(Note: This year's advisory is unchanged from last year's.)

USDA Announces National Fluid Milk Processor Board Appointments
Release No. 109-13
Hakim Fobia (202) 690-0488
WASHINGTON, June 28, 2013 Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack today announced seven appointments to the National Fluid Milk Processor Promotion Board. All appointees will serve 3-year terms beginning July 1, 2013, through June 30, 2016.
I am confident that these experts from across the fluid milk industry will serve fluid milk processors well. Vilsack said. I appreciate their involvement and look to them to help ensure the strength of this vital sector.
Newly appointed members are: Alan J. Bernon, Region 7; Thomas N. Davis III, Region 10; Robert B. McCullough, at-large processor; and Brian T. DeFelice, at-large processor.
Newly reappointed members are: James F. Walsh, Region 1; Dwight A. Moore, Jr., Region 4; and Henry F. Michon, Region 13.
The Secretary selected the appointees from nominations submitted by eligible processor organizations and interested parties. The 20-member board is authorized by the Fluid Milk Promotion Act of 1990, as amended.
The board oversees the collection of the 20-cent per hundredweight mandatory assessment on fluid milk products processed and marketed commercially in the 48 contiguous states and the District of Columbia. Processors who process and market 3 million pounds or less per month, excluding those fluid milk products delivered to the residence of a consumer, are exempt from assessments. In addition, the board develops and administers a coordinated program of promotion, research, and consumer information.
USDAs Agricultural Marketing Service monitors operation of the board.

People affected with the disorder will show their own unique combination of symptoms. To deal with the long-term medical issues related to the disorder, the family needs to have good health insurance in place and keep it there. That will insure the family has the resources necessary to deal with the disorder through the years. Autism is a disorder that develops in young children. Some babies show symptoms as young as six months while others appear to be normal until age two or three before showing signs. In any case, the disorder shows up in three ways: communication impairment, social interaction issues, and repetitive behavior with restricted interests.

Autism – How to apply and getting approved for Health Insurance
Autism – Help With the High Cost of Therapy
Each has different challenges and potential outcomes in terms of a child's development and later independence. Once the initial shock of the diagnosis wears off, however, there are additional challenges in terms of paying for treatments and therapies. Having a child diagnosed on the Autism spectrum is difficult and heart breaking for parents. There are so many unknowns with which to contend. How functional will the child be as an adult? How severe is their specific diagnosis? As a spectrum of developmental disorders, diagnoses can range from classic autism to high functioning autism, from Asperger's syndrome to Pervasive Developmental Delay.
Autism – Finding Childhood Care Through a Preexisting Insurance Plan
You may notice that your child is slow to show any emotions or reaction to stimuli, or that social interactions are difficult. The first step if you notice any social behavior that is out of the norm is to take your child in for examination. One disorder that has received a great deal of press and attention in the medical community in recent years is autism. Although it's possible for someone of any age to become diagnosed with autism, this is usually a disease that is detected within the first few years of life, when it starts affecting development.

Digestive enzymes, also called Proteolytic enzymes or proteases, can help aid in the digestion of high protein foods for some people with digestive distress. Papaya and pineapple are the richest plant sources of these kinds of digestive enzymes. Some people have found these enzymes helpful for pain reduction as well. Check with your doctor before taking digestive enzymes, especially if you take blood thinners.
